Atwood knew most of them. We all did.
We saw people after 9/11
who wouldn't hurt a fly screaming for blood.
Tragedy changes people.
I understand all that.
It just doesn't feel right.
I want someone to reach out
to some of Atwood's closest colleagues.
Inquire into his state of mind.
See if there's something we're not being told.
I'll see who's closest to Atwood at the bureau,
- arrange a meeting. - Okay, let's do it.
Sir, they need you in the COC.
They found a suspect in the ricin case.
Walter Lynch, 44 years of age. Worked as a truck driver.
Currently on state disability insurance.
ATF and FBI apprehended him at his home outside Scotts Bluff.
In his home, we found evidence of ricin production
and a list of polling stations across the country.
Most are on his former delivery routes.
We've notified the authorities at these locations
- to verify their safety. - Do we have a motive?
Lynch had posted multiple anti-government messages
on social media.
His attack on the polls appears to be consistent with his views.
Sir, I think we should make an announcement right away.
The public should know that the suspect's in custody,
there's no link to Nassar,
and it's safe to go to the polls.
I'm afraid we can't do that just yet, sir.
A search of Lynch's Web activity
shows he's affiliated with a domestic anti-government militia
known as the Liberty Defenders.
16 confirmed cells throughout the West and Southwest.
Lynch urged other members to spread ricin at polls
in their respective states.
So you're saying the threat is not contained.
Our field officers need more time to be certain.
- How much more time? - Worst-case scenario...
72 hours to clear all the militia members.
The election is tomorrow.
We can't say with absolute certainty
that the polling stations will be safe.

Good afternoon.
As you already know,
some of our polling stations in the Kansas City area
have been the subject of a bioterrorism attack.
And even though our federal, state, and local law officials
are assuring us that the polling stations will be safe,
understandably, many Americans are still scared.
Tragically, one of our volunteer poll workers
lost their life during the attack.
Her name was Mindy Hesser.
And as many of our poll workers
have declined to volunteer this election cycle
for fear of further attacks, Mindy showed up.
She set up her table, updated her voting rolls,
as she has for nearly 23 years.
Moments ago, I had the honor of talking to Mindy's daughter,
and she told me that no fear or uncertainty
would ever have prevented her mother
from carrying out what she considered
to be her most important civic duty...
Protecting our right to vote.
[Camera shutters clicking]
Many of my colleagues
have advised me to cancel these elections.
But I have been inspired by Mindy's actions.
So I have decided that these elections
will go forward as planned.
[Crowd murmuring]
Tomorrow morning, I myself will go to the polls
alongside my fellow Americans, and I will cast my ballot.
I believe we owe it to Mindy and to every other American
that has given their life to protect our great democracy.
We cannot live in fear.
We will not live in fear.
Thank you, and God bless America.
[Indistinct shouting]
Congratulations, sir. I understand the election will go on as planned.
- It was the right move, sir. - Thank you.
Unfortunately, that is not why I asked you both here.
Earlier today, at approximately 10:00 a.m.,
Jason Atwood confessed to the killing of Majid Nassar.
Wait, I'm sorry. The deputy director of the FBI
killed the world's most wanted terrorist?
I'm afraid so.
During his confession to me,
he stated that he did not believe
that Nassar was gonna provide us
with any useful information
and that on behalf of our fallen at the Capitol Building,
he felt it his patriotic duty to take Nassar's life.
His patriotic duty?
It's murder, and a catastrophic failure of national security.
I know, I know.
And I have every intention of investigating it,
but right now, the case is strictly classified
and under the jurisdiction of Army CIC and the FBI.
I have asked Aaron Shore
to interview some of Atwood's closest colleagues.
Hopefully we can find out something more.
Well, tomorrow's election gives us a Congress.
Then I can open up an independent investigation to assist you.
I'm not sure if the first act of our new Congress
should be this investigation.
Surely there are more pressing issues
that we need to get on with.
No, Peter, I think the congresswoman is right.
Our first priority should be gaining the nation's trust.
Kimble, thank you.

Great speech by the president.
You did a final polish, right?
You know, we had a deal, and you broke it.

was that I wouldn't run with the story, and I didn't.
No, you just gave it to somebody else.
Seth, come on.
Like it or not, it is news.
Maybe not to you, but to millions of Americans
about to cast their votes tomorrow,
the president's relationship with the truth means something.
I like you.
Seth, I really do.
Okay? But asking me to choose between you and the truth
will produce an outcome that won't make either of us happy.

Aaron: Thank you for coming in on such short notice.
How can I help you?
There's no easy way to say this,
but earlier today,
Director Atwood met with the president,
and he confessed to assassinating Majid Nassar.
Now, he claims to have used thallium...
- No. - ...to poison Nassar.
That's not possible.
This is a shock to everyone,
which is why I wanted to speak with you...
To see if you've noticed anything out of the ordinary,
recent life changes.
Has he said anything unusual?
Anything suspicious in the past week?
Agent Wells?
Sorry. I...
I can understand this is overwhelming,
but can you think of anything
that might help us understand Atwood's murder of Nassar?
No.
- May I see him? - I'm sorry, Agent Wells,
but he is being held in a maximum-security facility.
He's not allowed any visitors.
Chuck, tell me you can trace that text.
You know, there's only a handful of people
in the global intelligence community
capable of tracing a text.
- And you're one of them, right? - No.
But luckily, I know someone with the Mossad
who passed me an encryption key.
So you can get a location?
[Sighs] It's not that easy.
Instead, you'll have to settle for a phone number.
Woman: In a bid to encourage voter turnout,
President Kirkman will cast his vote at the polls tomorrow.
Secret Service is gonna let him go?
Thought you guys were supposed to protect him.
Parents get their own ideas.
...ballot box.
As the country prepares for election day,
the question that seems to be on everyone's mind...
You know, my... my dad's called me every day
since I joined the Secret Service
just to make sure I'm staying safe.
Mike, I...
I know what you're doing.
You're trying to tell me, no matter what, my dad cares.
No, I'm telling you about my dad.
Taught me how to hoop and how to talk to girls.
He pretty much made me who I am today.
The funny thing is, I didn't know him till I was 3.
That's when my mom married him.
I never met my biological father.
Those tests... They tell you biology.
But they don't tell you who your dad is.
Don't stay up too late watching the news.
Can't always trust what you see.

It's Wednesday, February 7th...
The day the president and our nation have been waiting for.
Beginning at 6:30 a.m. in the East,
polls across the country will be open.
The question, of course, on everyone's mind...
are voters going to show up?
Local police and fire departments,
- even the National Guard... - You look beautiful.
...have been stationed at polling stations
across the country, ready to respond...
[Sirens wailing]
Have you spoken to Leo?
No, not a word.
I don't even know if he's opened the test results yet.
- You? - [Sighs] No.
He won't speak to me either.
When I was taking the oath of office,
you know, the only thing I was honestly scared about
was what this could possibly do to our family.
[Chuckles]
I could never have seen this one coming.
Well, whatever he decides,
we've realized our new house can't hold any secrets.
Yeah.
[Siren chirping]
Clear.
[Indistinct shouting, camera shutters clicking]
Maybe it'll pick up later.
Yeah, you want to put money on that?
I'm so sorry, sweetie.
Tom...
I know that look.
Come on, talk to me.
I took a vow to do everything in my power
to lead this country back after the bombing.
I know we've had a few things thrown at us,
but if I can't even get the American people to vote...
You made a decision to move forward with the elections
when most would have shied away.
You made a commitment that this country needed,
and now we're finally gonna have a Congress.
What kind of a Congress is that gonna be?
A House that represents 10% of the country
is no government at all.
They call me an illegitimate president.
They'll call it an illegitimate Congress, and they'd be right.
Tom, they saw you go to the polls.
They know that they can trust you.
Don't they say that one vote can make all the difference?
You were there, also.
- That's two votes. - Yeah.
Let's hope they don't cancel each other out.
[Door opens]
- Hey. - Leo, everything all right?
I couldn't sleep last night.
I don't want this in my room.
It's still sealed.
I don't need to open it either.
I know you're my dad.
Come... Come here.
Hey.
Thank you.
Wow.
He's definitely my son.
That's not even funny.
Sir? They're waiting for you.
I'm sorry. What is it?
Aaron, give me a second. I'll be right in.
Yes, sir.
Woman: It's an unusual election in American history.
The ricin attack in Kansas City...
- Excuse me. Thank you. - Many voters are afraid to vote.
But what was threatening to be a light turnout
is not so light after all.
Voters are lining up at the polling booths
to make sure their votes are counted.
When asked why they decided to come out today,
the majority said,
"Because President Kirkman went to vote."
They're voting, Mr. President.
They won't have complete returns until later,
but they're already calling it a victory... for democracy.
Thank you, Seth.
Also, got a heads-up from DHS.
The joint task force followed through
with the remaining militia members.
They concluded there's no more ricin.
Lynch was acting alone.
Tomorrow, you'll have a Congress.
A new government.
We'll still need a Cabinet and a vice president,
but we're working on it.
Tom: We'll get there, Aaron.
Any word on Atwood?
I spoke to Agent Wells.
She said nothing to dispel his confessions.
Okay.
Seth?
There's something I need you to do for me.

Seth: Mr. President, Lisa Jordan.
I know you've been asking questions about me and my son.
I have your answer.
A definitive one.
A DNA test.
Margin of error... 01%.
About as certain as you're gonna find in this world.
I am Leo's biological father.
I can't imagine it's much of a story anymore,
but I wanted you to know the truth.
Thank you, Mr. President.
I assume I should hand these back to my editor.
Not on my account.
I believe our country is only as strong as our journalists.
I expect you to keep us honest.
Ms. Jordan.
Thank you, Seth.
Good night, sir.
So I guess we'll still be working together.
Yes, but only working.
I trusted you.
You took advantage of it.
Thank you, Mr. Press Secretary.

Woman: Hello?
Last time we spoke, I found Room 105,
and now the only person I trust is behind bars.
How did you get this number?
I'm done talking to an anonymous voice over the phone.
You have something to say to me, meet me.
11:14 p.m.
Where?
I don't intend to meet you, ever.
11:14 p.m.
- Look into it. - Wait.
[Sighs]
Don't you look happy.
Well, it's a good day.
The president is getting his Congress...
which is why I'm here.
I wanted to let you know
that if you do go ahead with an investigation,
it will be without my support.
I admire your loyalty, Peter.
I just don't understand it.
We both know Kirkman can't get out of his own way.
Whether it's his lack of experience
or the times we're in...
he won't last.
Unless that's what you're counting on...
That when he goes down, assuming you make it to V.P.,
you would be the last man standing.
It's a brilliant path to the White House.
I just can't believe I didn't see it until now.
You got an overactive imagination, Kimble.
I don't think so.
But when I take him down,
I'll make sure - I don't leave you behind.
Good night, Kimble.
