03:46to environmental catastrophe if I told you I wanted you to make it feel like anywhere USA
03:53a city for 25,000 people that felt like any city up here a city with cars and cell phones
03:58and trees

04:05okay and then well then I'd laugh again then I'd tell you it's impossible you know
04:1425,000 people
04:16I mean you'd have to have a space the size of like Toledo
04:23there's no amount of money that would allow you to excavate a space so large that an underground space would
04:28actually feel like
04:29well like Toledo it's not possible
04:34of course
04:38this is what I've been told

10:29Now, I'm more of an analog guy, but good for you.
10:32Yeah, well, if the stock moves the way I think it will, next year, this time, I'll be worth...
10:43$14 billion.
10:46I'll be right back.
10:51I'll be right back.
10:58I'll be right back.
11:01Yeah, I'll be right back.
11:05Yeah, I'll be right back.
11:09Yeah, I'll be right back.
11:30Give a pot, I'll be right back.
11:30Oh, it's going to look with me.
11:48He'll be right back.
11:51I'll be right back.
11:53I'm gonna have to go to Venice.
12:10Come over here.
12:16Come over here up there.
12:26And I'm here.
12:29And I'm here, babe.
12:34Can you hear me?
12:35Are you still there, Xavier?
12:37I'm here. I'm here.
13:00Hey, batter, batter, batter, batter, batter.
13:04You see what I'm doing there?
13:06This is pancake batter.
13:08It's very funny. It plays on a lot of levels.
13:10Robinson loves it.
13:11Agent Pace, enough.
13:13She's playing it cool right now, but I'm telling you,
13:15she thinks I'm a hoot.
13:16All right, watch this. Here we go.
13:18And a fastball right across the middle, and...
13:21Hey!
13:23And the crowd goes wild
13:25as the batter touches the plate.
13:30Agent Collins,
13:32I'm gonna need you to come with me.
13:37Go on.
13:39I came to help the kids get to school,
13:40and I had press back the lunches
13:43so they'll have nutrients or whatever.
13:48Nothing to worry about, gang. Everything's fine.
13:50Go get your backpacks ready for school, please.
14:11Nobody knows what happened here.
14:13And the people who do,
14:15they're in an absolute fucking frenzy.
14:18So...
14:20Do you have a suspect?
14:22No.
14:29Have you found a murder weapon?
14:36Did you collect any samples for DNA?
14:40Agent Robinson, do you have any matches on DNA?
14:42Jesus Collins.
14:44No.
14:45No prime suspects.
14:48Dad and the ex-wife alibied out.
14:50No weapon.
14:52Brooks and Rainey are digging through the trash,
14:54and they're pissy about it.
14:56Autopsies tomorrow.
14:58And yes,
14:59of course,
15:00we ran the DNA.
15:03Unfortunately,
15:04our resources down here are limited,
15:06considering that the DNA tech basically exists
15:08to make sure
15:08people don't start marrying their cousins in a hundred years.
15:16You got something to say?
15:18Say it.
15:22I just don't understand why of all the people that could be heading this up,
15:25they chose the one person who was sleeping with the victim.
15:31I'm clean, Xavier.
15:34The camera feed was down from 1042 until 1213 that night,
15:38while your boy was asleep on the couch.
15:41And from 1042 until 1213 that night,
15:44I was at the tavern,
15:45having drinks with some friends.
15:48The other reason, and this could just be me spitballing,
15:51is that I actually cared about the victim.
15:53And I'm not gonna rest until I find some answers.
15:56You're too close to this.
15:57Or maybe,
15:58I didn't secretly hate the victim,
16:00and then shut down the crime scene for a full 30 minutes,
16:03before calling in the first ever murder down here.
16:05The murder of our president.
16:13His tablet is missing.
16:16Very important people are very upset.
16:19You better get your game face on.
16:22They've got questions.
16:39We're gonna need your weapon.
16:43It's a glorified nerf gun, not a weapon, but sure.
16:47Go nuts.
16:48If you've got nothing to hide, then it shouldn't be a problem.
16:52Take a seat.
17:06Arms up.
17:08Should we be worried about our safety?
17:11No, let's not overreact here.
17:13Overreact?
17:14Come on, Henry.
17:15The president had a full security detail,
17:17and he was murdered in the residence.
17:19No, he wasn't.
17:21Cal Bradford died of natural causes.
17:24Likely a heart attack.
17:25If you seriously think you're gonna be able to contain this.
17:28Really?
17:29You really think that you can contain this?
17:32Henry, we need some solution here.
17:37So, should I make lasagna, or should we order in?
17:41We're in the middle of the merger, hon.
17:42You got the board up your ass?
17:43Let's just order in and make life easier.
17:45Well, fair point. That's said.
17:47Lasagna!
17:48I mean, the people have spoken.
17:51Hey, Dylan, not too far ahead, please.
17:53Mom, come on!
17:54Can we do the ice cream thing?
17:57Um...
17:58Daddy...
17:58Can we?
18:01I'll get the rest of the stuff. I'll get you outside.
18:05Oh...
18:06You're very sexy when you do what I want.
18:08I know.
18:12Mm-hmm!
18:15Do you see it?
18:18I see it.
18:20Is it a sandwich?
18:23A cone or a cup?
18:25Sandwich.
18:27Rectangular or circular?
18:29Rectangle.
18:30Okay.
18:31I'll see what I can do.
18:48Horse?
18:48Horse.
18:58Thanks.
19:00What's that?
19:02It's actually different to her.
19:04Mm.
19:04Or I'll just eat her.
19:05Okay.
19:09Make it fast.
19:10You're fine?
19:11Mm-hmm.
19:12You're fine.
19:12I'll call you later.
19:14Okay, good.
19:16I'll call you later.
19:20board approved the merger
19:23it's going through wow oh that was a lot of worrying about
19:34Dylan Dylan Dylan hey Dylan
19:53in ten minutes the community will get an alert for an emergency town hall they
19:59will gather here and we will share the shocking news that the president has
20:03passed of natural causes quietly in his bed we will then immediately swear in
20:09Henry which will settle everyone because it will remind our community that we
20:14have a functional system in place as for the rest of you your security will be
20:20increased until we find some answers so if you gentlemen will just pour yourselves
20:26a drink or tug on your dicks or do whatever it is you need to do to calm
20:31yourselves the fuck down so that we can present a united front
20:39well that would be super
20:47Dr. Charambi will you come with me yes
20:53arms straight from me fingers flat

21:56when was the last time you saw Cal Bradford alive as I stated yesterday I walked the
22:01president to his room when he turned in at 2204
22:05and when did you discover the body I knocked on his door at 801 that's when I found him lying
22:11next to his bed how long were you in there I don't know you don't know I don't know how
22:18long I looked at him like that I just knew that he was gone I just knew that I'd lost
22:25him
22:30did you take anything from the scene
22:37no then why the delay why did you call agent pace agent pace was the only person I felt I
22:43could trust
22:43are you covering for agent pace no I didn't feel comfortable going through normal channels because my boss was sleeping
22:51with the president and he was laying there on the floor dead you all know she was sleeping with the
22:55president and he was laying there on the floor dead
22:55she was sleeping with him right wasn't a big secret but still it feels like an important bit of context
23:02you were the last person to see the president alive nobody entered that room from the time that you shut
23:07the door
23:08just ask the fucking question
23:14did you kill him
23:17no
23:20I did not murder Cal Bradford
23:24take me through the steps
23:25may I
23:26what happened in that time in that room
23:30the president is normally up and about before 8 a.m. but he wasn't on this particular day
23:35I knocked on his door three times before I entered I saw his body on the ground covered in blood
23:40I checked his pulse there was nothing
23:43I was concerned that there could have been some theft

24:56yes

25:11as I've told you about 19 times I'm not an interrogator
25:15but you saw his vitals remain stable throughout
25:21what do you think?
25:24I think he's telling the truth
25:27why?
25:29well if he's such a well-practiced liar
25:32then why would he admit
25:35to hating the man that was murdered it doesn't track

29:08man who took a bullet for the president

29:27natural causes

35:16Hi, did a guy come through here around my age?
35:20Stupid haircut?
35:21Everyone your age has stupid haircuts.
35:24But if you're referring to Jeremy Bradford, he's in the media rotunda.
35:28Cool, thanks.
35:55Weren't you at the town hall thing?
35:58Weren't you?
36:29Hello, Xavier.
36:32Madam First Lady, how are you holding up?
36:40Honestly, I have no fucking clue, Xavier.
36:45I've been pretending for so long.
36:48Pretending to be part of this all-American family while living in separate houses.
36:52Pretending to be a loving wife until the moment his term ended.
37:02It wasn't all pretend.
37:05I know.
37:08He worshipped you.
37:09Oh, jeez.
37:10He did.
37:11Do you remember that time when you joined Saturday morning basketball at the White House?
37:16I do.
37:18Cal was so excited to have you on his team because he just assumed that you would be good.
37:27Cal was...
37:29Racist.
37:30He loved an outdated stereotype.
37:32We'll leave it at that.
37:33Okay.
37:36He was surprised, of course, to find out that you were...
37:39You were just an average player.
37:41Yeah.
37:42He came running into the bedroom, dripping with sweat.
37:44Hair plastered against his forehead like a six-year-old boy.
37:48I'm better than a baby.
37:50He was not better than me.
37:51Well, I wasn't there.
37:58But he couldn't get over how hard you played.
38:03How you never stopped.
38:06The man is relentless, he said.
38:15They're about to tell everybody that Cal died of natural causes.
38:20I know.
38:22They wouldn't let me look at the body.
38:26I saw it about him.
38:34I saw it about him.
38:36He loved you.
38:39The man who was everything he felt he wasn't.
38:42The relentless man.
38:44Who never stopped.
39:01Mommy!
39:06Where are you going, Mommy?
39:08I have a work trip, remember?
39:10But I don't want you to leave forever.
39:12I don't want you to leave forever.
39:18Hey.
39:23Listen.
39:27I'll always come back, okay?
39:29I'll always come back to take care of you.
39:39Go see him.
39:48Psst, psst.
40:01Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to this year's conference.
40:05We have some scintillating conversations lined up for you,
40:08covering global security, cyber engineering, climate change, and much more.
40:14We are here to begin what we hope will become not just conversations or projects,
40:19but the future of our world.
40:22Within a year, 20% of all livestock will perish from fluorosis poisoning.
40:31Well, I guess I'll go ahead and start wrapping up, since this talk has proven to be the one to
40:37miss.
40:39Ironic, because it's the only one that matters.
40:45Listen, I know this all sounds pretty far-fetched, but you know when it won't seem far-fetched?
40:51In less than a decade, when a tsunami plunges the entire eastern seaboard of the United States underwater.
41:08Well, I'm done.
41:10Try not to get trampled on the way out, unless you prefer that to being drowned.
41:24Hey, wait. Sam.
41:31Well, that guy was a barrel of last, wasn't he?
41:33Yeah.
41:35How you been?
41:38I'm fine. Thanks, Senator.
41:41Yeah?
41:44It's been just over a year, right, since you lost your son?
41:49One year. That's...
41:52That's hard.
41:55That must feel like no time at all to you.
42:00I can't imagine.
42:03God, he was such a cute kid.
42:06I remember him running around in a little sandbox.
42:09He could do the big old handfuls of sand, and he's dumping on his head.
42:14I'm sorry, Sam. I didn't mean to.
42:17No, don't be.
42:23No one's...
42:29No one's talked to me about Dylan for a very long time that directly.
42:38Thanks, Cal.
42:41I think I finally see why people like you.
42:43It's mainly the hair.
42:45Hmm.
42:48You, however...
42:50You got the real stuff, Sam.
42:52You got the stuff that makes people sit up straight when you walk in a room.
42:54My old man, I hear it from him all the time.
42:59How's your dad?
43:01Still just a light touch of dementia, but he's still him.
43:05Still crushing me with blows, like...
43:08You think you're Dean Martin, walking around with your cock out.
43:11You ain't Dean.
43:12You're a joke. You're Peter Lawford.
43:14You're only in the band because of who you're related to.
43:16Jesus.
43:17Yeah, yeah.
43:17That's Christmas morning, mind you.
43:19My loving daddy.
43:21Yeah.
43:24He says...
43:26He says you're Sinatra, by the way.
43:30The clear leader.
43:31The one.
43:33I don't know about that.
43:36You know, I have this thing.
43:39This disorder.
43:41Where I pick up my hair.
43:43I'm getting a bald spot.
43:46Sometimes I have to wear hats.
43:51I'm not Sinatra.
43:57I miss my kid.
44:00I know.
44:01Hey!
44:07If that stuff happens...
44:09It's going to happen.
44:10And it's going to happen in the next decade.
44:13So what do we do?
44:17I have a daughter.
44:23What do we do?
44:26Dig the biggest hole you can.
44:28And you get in.
44:34Jesus, somebody else.
44:35Get that guy a slot at the laugh factory.
44:38You going to the next talk?
44:42No, I'm done talking.
44:45Thanks for asking about Dylan.
44:49Hey!
44:50Wait up!
44:55Samantha, a couple of thoughts on speech.
44:59Just read it, Henry.
45:00We didn't pick you to have thoughts.
45:16My fellow Americans, I'm afraid I have terrible news.
45:22President Cal Bradford passed away early yesterday morning.
45:32Are you okay?
45:42My dad is dead.
45:45They are.
45:47They took everyone to the arena to tell him.
45:51I asked that everyone to learn this awful news together.
45:56So that we could be comforted by our friends and our community.
46:00Those who've helped us grieve and heal over the past three years.
46:09And that means that our fight last week was the last time I ever talked to him.
46:17I told him that he was the reason so many people are gone.
46:22I told him that I wished he was dead.
46:28It's the last thing I ever said to my dad.
46:30In a few moments, I will take the oath of office and become our next president.
46:35But first, I'd like to say a few words about Cal.
46:41He, um...
46:42He loved this shitty 80s and 90s rock music.
46:47And when I was younger, he would dance around with me and scream it at the top of his lungs.
46:57And then I grew up and I just told him how lame I thought his music was every chance I
47:02got.
47:04Now here I am, listening to music that my dad loved.
47:12The music I told him I hated.
47:15Cal was the kind of guy who would go up to a complete stranger in a parking lot
47:20and say something tender to them.
47:23Something they really needed just because he could sense they were in pain.
47:32My dad's into planes.
47:36He got his pilot's license and everything.
47:42He used to talk about planes all the time.
47:48And each time I'd tell him what a massive dork he was.
47:52He never talks about them anymore.
47:58Oh, what I'd give to listen to him ramble on about planes again.
48:06What were you, uh, listening to?
48:09Of your dad's lame 80s and 90s rock?
48:12Um, do you, uh, you know this one?
48:18Eh, eh, eh.
48:21Pay it for me?
48:23I take no responsibility for what you're about to hear.
48:33We built this city.
48:36We built this city on rock and roll.
48:40We built this city.
48:43We built this city on rock and roll.
48:48We built this city on rock and roll.
48:50We built this city on rock and roll.
49:05And?
49:05And?
49:07Maybe it's not so bad that the world ended.
49:11You know what the bastards were asking for?
49:18Do I, do you want to see something cool?
49:24Yeah?
49:25Yeah.
49:25OK.
49:26Come on.
49:32We will.
49:43You good?
49:50Can you think of any important six-digit codes down here?
49:54Password, symbol?
49:57No.
49:58Why?
50:02Spent 15 years as an agent in the real world.
50:05The main question I'd always get, is it hard always watching
50:10everything?
50:11Always listening, never talking?
50:14And I'd always answer.
50:16That's my job.
50:20I was real good at my job, Billy.
50:24And I've been watching her.
50:30Sinatra, I've been listening to her, and something's not right with that woman.
50:35I can feel it in my gut.
50:38Our guy is gone, and she's smack in the middle of the whole thing.
50:45She's pretty much the most powerful person down here.
50:49Yeah.
50:51And I'm going to take her down.
50:56How?
50:59Very fucking carefully.
51:11Hey, mom.
51:22Everything OK?
51:26You hanging in?
51:28Yeah. I'm fine.
51:30Don't stay up too late.
51:50No one's really loud down here.
52:03No one's really loud.
52:09Holy shit.
52:11No one's really loud down here.
52:26Say you don't know me
52:34Recognize my fears
52:39Sinking in your fire
52:43To...
52:44Mom?
52:46Yes, my love. Yes, I'm right here.
52:51Am I going to have it?
53:01It's okay.
53:04You can tell me.
53:06I want you to tell me.
53:17I think you are.
53:22Yes.
53:23What do you think it's like?
53:37Someone stole the stage
53:40They call us irresponsible
53:46Write us off the page
53:50Marconi plays the mountain man

53:56Don't you remember
54:00Do uh...
54:03Remember this place?
54:07Yep.
54:13Where are we?
54:14Mom, is Mom coming?
54:15Mom, is she going to make it?
54:17I want Mom!
54:18What?
54:19We built this city on rock and roll
54:23We built this city
54:26We built this city on rock and roll

54:35We built this city on rock and roll
54:40The thing about heaven is...
54:44It's anything you want it to be
54:53So...
54:53You tell me
54:58What do you want it to be like?
55:01We want it to be just like you
55:05But...
55:06With four horse rides
55:08I just wanna see the stars
55:08We built this city on rock and roll
55:13Well, then...
55:15I love you
55:18Well, then that's what it will be like
55:20My baik
