- [ Gasping ]

- What are you doing?

Idiot! They are

no good to us dead!

Go!

This is an historic day

marking the swearing in...

of America's first

female president.

Behind me, the sidewalks

along Pennsylvania Avenue

are crowded with spectators...

here to catch a glimpse

of the passing motorcade.

With the inauguration

less than two hours away,

President Daniels is scheduled

to meet with his successor

here at the White House...

to review final details

for the transfer of power.

Their respective transition

teams have been working together

for several weeks...

to ensure

a smooth turnover.

[ Chuckling ]

Stop looking at me

like that.

Watching you get dressed

is almost as fun as

watching you get undressed.

Uh-huh.

Shouldn't you

be getting dressed?

We got time.

Mmm.

Hey, you need to shave.

You're gonna be on TV.

Mmm, mmm.

Stop it.

[ Cell Phone Ringing ]

[ Beeps ]

Hello.

Uh, I need to talk

to you, Rog.

Chris?

Yeah. Look.

Uh, I think I might

be in trouble.

Okay.

You using again?

That's not what

this is about.

You didn't answer

my question.

I can't, uh--

I can't really talk

on the phone, okay?

I was hoping that I could,

um-- I could meet up with you

face to face.

- Now?

- Rog, hang on a second.

Chris?

I know. I know, I know.

It's terrible timing.

Believe me, I know.

But I wouldn't be asking if

it wasn't really important.

- I gotta leave

in 45 minutes, man.

- I can be there in 20.

Chris--

I am not gonna stay long.

I swear, Rog. Just please.

Do this for me?

- Fine, but I'm outta here

in 45 minutes.

- Thank you. Thank you.

You're letting Chris

come here right now?

He's having some kind

of relapse or something.

What am I supposed to do?

Exactly! What are you

supposed to do?

- Make sure he calls

his sponsor? I don't know.

- This is so Chris.

He's been a friend

for a really long time.

He got me my job,

which, if he hadn't,

I wouldn't have met you.

Don't. Stop.

Hmm? Hmm?

[ Sighs ]

Just don't be late

for your mother's

inauguration.

Okay?

[ Man ]

I always liked

his advice too.

Madam President?

Not yet.

This way.

Nice to see you.

Hello.

[ Sighs ]

How are you feeling?

Excited.

Nervous.

You should be.

In a few hours,

you're going to be the most

powerful person in the world.

As if you're not already

hard enough to live with.

Ma'am. Mr. Taylor.

Tom.

The president apologizes

he could not be here

to greet you in person.

But something urgent

has come up.

Something urgent?

Whatever it is, Tom,

it's gonna land on my desk

in about two hours.

Could I just

have a moment?

I'm sorry.

Don't be. Go ahead.

Our embassy in Sangala

just got word

of an imminent coup.
