Deterrence Page #2

Yeah, check her out.

- Taylor Fletcher woods.

- And this is Lizzie Clark woods.

Ms. woods.

Hey, how did you do that?

It's not cool they know who we are.

What's the juice here? How do we

know you are who you say you are?

Mr. woods.

Taylor...

I'd sure appreciate some cooperation here.

Emerson's a different breed than we thought.

He seems disposed to continuing

the deceased president's...

Hard-line approach

on north Korea,

committing to keeping the vast

majority of U.S. troops there...

F***ed up my camera. Thank you, Mr.

Emerson. Send Noah to Colorado.

At least you got loaded up

on some good stuff today.

We got you some good stuff! Good footage.

Any minute, there's gonna be a crazy

mob breaking in through here.

That's not a problem, Mr. Howard.

You got that area cleared?

It's all secure, sir.

Thank you.

Good footage.

Real stuff we want.

Staged footage.

Make it real for once.

There's no egress, but post in the kitchen.

Trump, victorious in Connecticut.

We got bravo team on the roof...

president Emerson's campaign...

Seems to riding a crest of sentiment.

It's freezing out there!

Selecting Theodore slater from Wyoming.

No statement yet from the

president, who, as we said,

is in Colorado.

Thanks, bill.

President Emerson may find himself

as the first nonelected incumbent...

To win his party's nomination

since Gerald Ford in 1976.

Given Emerson's lack of

experience in political posts,

the rumors of an impending

shake-up in his cabinet...

Have taken on a new importance.

You're on.

Okay.

You know who that is? My God.

Delta team is in position.

Hi. Pleased. Walt Emerson. No kidding.

Walt Emerson.

My God!

Harvey.

I'm really so excited. Please tell

me you're old enough to vote.

What is your name? Katie.

Suppose you tell me about

the specialty de LA Maison.

We've got a great chicken pot

pie and chicken croquette...

- Mr. president, a second opinion's in order here.

- Please.

The chiliburger is harv's specialty.

He's a monster at it.

I call it my usual. Yeah. Is that right?

Pleasure to meet you, sir. My pleasure.

Chiliburger, Fine, then. Absolutely.

Let's see what this fella's raving about.

Chiliburger it is.

- Would your friends like something?

- Yes. Order up, everybody.

- What did you say your name was?

- Katie.

- I'd love a cup of Joe.

- Sure.

Coffee all around?

Ma'am?

Nothing, thanks. We're

gonna be here a spell.

There's a lot of white stuff

between here and air force one.

Good thing I got my campaigning in.

Absolutely.

- I didn't vote.

- Katie. Could have used you out there today.

I'm sure you did fine.

That's what they're telling

me, but perhaps your vote...

Could have taken me from victory to mandate.

He looks a lot older than on TV.

Okay. Looking forward

to that chiliburger.

Don't say anything stupid, okay?

You're telling me that?

He's coming over.

How do I look?

Hi there. Walt Emerson. Hi.

Hi, I'm, Lizzie woods. Pleasure.

Nice to meet you.

Walt Emerson. Hi.

Taylor woods. It's an honor, sir. Taylor.

You've got that New York

sense about you, no?

Very good, sir.

Goldman sachs.

I'm the oil and mineral analyst.

Of course you are.

Whose move is it?

That would be my move. May I?

Yes, yes.

Have a look here.

Well, well, well.

Wow. Is this, Kasparov

deep blue, game three?

I... I don't

think so, sir.

No, I'd say she's about seven moves away.

Really.

So, you two,

satisfied Americans, would you say?

- Absolutely, Mr. president. We've been so happy this year.

- My only...

My only problem... excuse me,

I just want to get this...

I ju... I just want to get something in here.

My only debate with you is

the social security issue.

Is that right. I think your

moving the age to 73...

For benefits on pension funds

and stock portfolios...

Is just gonna trigger panic selling.

Any idea how we came about the age

of 65 for social security? No.

Actually, no, come to think of it.

I mean, why not 70 or 80 or 64?

I have no idea. We adopted the

social security system...

Reloading.

From Bismarck, hook, line and sinker.

Bismarck was an s.O.B. Just looking

to boost his popularity...

With his social welfare system.

So he goes to his actuaries,

and they assure him...

This is the late 1800s.

So they tell him that everyone's

gonna be dead by the age of 65.

- Of course, today it's equivalent to 105.

- Unbelievable.

Fascinating. It's 9:00, Mr. president.

Okay. So that's how we're

starting to think in terms of 73.

I hope I didn't interrupt the game.

I should go check the results.

Nice meeting you both. Thank you. Edifying.

Thank you for the tip. Good luck to you.

Oop. I'm sorry. Got it.

You're gonna need that one, That's okay.

Good luck. Good luck to you.

You have our vote.

Kasparov deep blue. He's very short.

What do you two have in the pool?

Fifty-eight.

Fifty-nine. The polls in

Colorado have now closed.

Sixty-one. Here at ibs, we are

ready to project a winner...

In the Colorado primary.

With all precincts having

reported, ibs is projecting...

That president Walter Emerson...

And... yes!

There it is. Casper the f***ing ghost.

Will win the primary with 63%...

We got the prick by the balls.

Here's what we do.

Call him up and tell him the deal's still

on, but he has withdraw by noon tomorrow.

Otherwise, no deal. He's got no maneuvering

room to even change the platform.

So, we make him feel like he's got

a little wriggle room, right?

Cut him off at the knees,

make him think he can walk.

Why don't we just proceed ahead?

We're gonna win anyways.

Let's just... no, he's at the Hyatt.

I'm gonna call him now.

If he's cozy in that

hotel room with a blonde,

he's a lot wiser than I.

When do you think we're gonna

get out of here, by the way?

Tracey's got a ballet recital tomorrow, and

Alexandra's got my blood oath on this one.

Well, air force one is about 20 minutes

from here at Peterson air force base,

and as soon as the weather gets

better... it clears up, it's safe...

We get marine one to come, get us out

of here... 23-skiddoo, we're all set.

Okay. Well, let's just

do what we need to do.

What if Casper wants to talk to you?

Well, I'll...

I guess I'll...

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You

don't want to talk to him.

You're talking to your constituents.

Maybe we shouldn't be surprised that

he received the votes that he did.

Many people view Emerson

as not presidential.

He's very vice presidential,

very second banana.

His experience in foreign posts

has certainly been strong.

He boasts probably one of the

best resumes since George Bush.

True, but he doesn't have the

physical bearing of a president.

Traits that well could have been

ascribed to har... hold on one moment.

Okay, this isn't...

I'll say this quick.

Think about it. We'll all

be happy in August, okay?

Apparently this is a massive military

action from the middle east.

Our first indications are... No,

I said if you... we'll all be...

That there is a large troop
