This had to go well,

and it didn't.

Look, I-I'm sorry, Jake.

You're fired.

Jesus. It's over 120

in this mother.

Fan out.

Uh, Agent Wilson.

Assistant Secretary Lawson.

You look nice today.

I'm wearing the

same thing I always wear.

Ah, exactly.

Have you seen I uh,

got on a new tie?

I observed.

We're trained to notice any

disturbing details.

Sarah, come on,

can we just drop...

Assistant Secretary Lawson.

I'm not permitted to engage in

casual conversation

while I'm at a post.

We are being watched.

We're always being watched.

Well, if we're

always being watched

then what's the

point of hiding anything?

You're interfering with my duties.

I'd rather not shoot you.

Well, it would be an honor

to be the first person

that you kill.

Damn it.

What is it.

Uh, the President's

called a security briefing.

It was not on the schedule, so.

I guess I'm now on duty.

I like the tie.

Home by 7. Love you.

I'm sorry, I didn't catch that.

I didn't say anything.

Move along, sir.

Yes, ma'am.

What the hell happened here?

One of our thermospheric

satellites

malfunctioned over Afghanistan.

A UN recon team found it,

Mr. President.

And the members of the

Climate Council, they're aware?

Yes, and they've all agreed

to keep the incident discreet.

But with this many people

in the loop,

I'm not sure how long

it's gonna keep.

And we're sure this was

caused by Dutch Boy?

Absolutely.

Can we assume that

this is an isolated incident?

Doctor Quigley?

We're fairly certain, yes.

It's great to know

that you're "fairly certain".

This is a serious malfunction.

So, your proposal is what?

Simple. We shut down

all Central Asian satellites

until we know what went wrong.

- Are you serious?

- Yes, I'm serious.

Do you know how difficult it was

to get every one of these

nations online for this?

We have worked extremely hard

to assure these nations

that this system will protect them.

And it has.

And let's not forget, people,

it's an election year.

We shut Dutch Boy down,

the press is gonna jump all over this.

Oh, my God.

300 people died in that village.

Who gives a damn

about the politics of it all?

We cost those people their lives.

The only thing we

should be concerned

about here is how to fix it and

making sure it never happens again.

And how do you propose

we do that?

We can't do anything.

What I mean is, the problem

is not gonna be solved in this room

and well, certainly not by us.

We need an international team

on the station itself.

Not suits.

Engineers, coders, builders,

doing a comprehensive

systems check.

No matter the cost,

no matter the politics.

We need them up there now.

We are set to transfer
