those who are vulnerable.

The law's the best way

to do that.

The U.S. attorney's office

prosecutes those who break it.

We don't decide

what the laws are.

No, but you pick

the cases you pursue.

So, that means there is

a moral intent.

Now, If 20 states

have a medical exemption

for it, uh,

how can the issue

be black-and-white?

Because it is.

Nigel, I want to thank you

for including me in your piece.

Oh, anything for Jeannie.

Listen, Sam,

If you're interested,

I'd like to talk to the magazine

about doing a longer profile

on you,

maybe I can trail you

in the office.

You know, um, do a "day

in the life" kind of thing.

Well, our meetings

are usually confidential,

but I'm sure

we can arrange something.

Look, I got to get James

to school.

You got any more questions?

Yes.

When are you running?

Mama's gonna pick you up.

Your father seems to

think he'll go far.

If he can handle the pressure.

What do you think?

I don't think he likes me.

Oh, he's just sensitive

about his mother, that's all.

Mm, well, I think

he's intimidated

by the size of my reputation.

Hmm?

How are you two doing?

Great.

Things are a little crazy,

but we're great.

Well, I'm glad to hear it.

There's a piece

about the Attorney General race.

Oh, yeah? I need to watch that.

They mention me?

No, they weren't

singling anybody out.

You want me to record it?

Sam?

Uh, yeah, that'd be great.

Thanks.

Is there a history

of cancer in your family?

Uh, my mother

died from liver cancer.

But, you know, she was

a heavy smoker and big drinker.

Have you been with any

new sexual partners recently?

Well, uh, I'm married.

But yeah.

One other one a few days ago.

It was just one time, though,

and I-I used a condom.

Well, there is a bump,

but It's probably

an ingrown hair or something.

In all likelihood,

I think you're fine.

Ladies and gentlemen,

senator Edward Pollan.

Thank you, Jeannie.

Your exemplary work with

the edible schoolyard project

is an inspiration to all of us.

You know, I often ask myself

what we can do in Washington

to help shape

our children's sense of place.

Sam Ellis.

- George Hiller.

- Yes.

Glad to finally

meet you in person.

Absolutely, sir.

That country club thing,

that was a heck of a move.

I understand that you're

looking at Attorney General.

Well, I'm not looking at any job

beyond my current employment.

I got something better.

What'll you two ladies have?

I'll take a champagne, please.

- Bourbon for me.

- Yes, ma'am.

Who are you?

Jeannie?

Noah.

How's the boss treating you?

Oh, total slave master.

He drag you in for that FBI

meeting last weekend?

Uh, no.

Guess it must've been

above my pay grade.

Well, don't worry.

You'll make it.

You want a drink?

Senator Pollan?

You sure?

He's gonna give up his seat?

I got him to promise

not to go public yet,

but It's done.

Now, Pollan Says he's gonna

announce in a year.

When he announces,

we pull the trigger.

You quit your job

and you jump in the race.

But I got to know now whether

you got the balls for this.

I'll have to think it over.

Well, think it over.

But remember,

I'm the other woman here,

so don't keep me waiting.

Now, Nigel Coaker's

already agreed to write

the longer article,

which will keep things alive.

You just cultivate that clean

image, 'cause your mythology

is your best asset.

Look, I know you're...

Hi, there. So nice to meet you.

I love your tuxedo.

Is that Armani?

I'm the one who gets you there.

I win these things.

So, why don't we

pool our resources?

I'll bring in my boys, and you

and Jeannie bring in yours,

and We'll work together and get

the right team around you, and

there's just no telling

where this stops.

You with me?

Absolutely.

We should definitely keep

talking.

It was very nice

to finally meet you.

You should see my friend, clio.

Care for a nightcap,

congressman?

What, are you drunk?

You're not drunk enough.

Would you come to bed?

We should be celebrating.

Aren't you excited?

We would be scrutinized

under a microscope.

You know that, right?

We have anything to hide?

Of course not.

But you know these campaigns

get personal.

Certain level of brutality,

exposure.

Just want to make sure

It's the right moment

while James is so young.

Well, James

isn't like his friends.

He obsesses about presidents

the same way other boys

obsess about dinosaurs.

I mean, isn't this exactly

what you always wanted?

What?

I just noticed how adorable

you are in my shirt.

I just... right now.

Come here.

Come back up here.

No, no. Don't do that.

Mnh-mnh.

This way.

I love you.

I know all the sacrifices

you've made for this.

I'm just not sure about Hiller.

Everybody knows he plays dirty.

Well, his candidates win.

I need to know you still

really want this.

That you're, um, the same

idealistic guy I fell for...

Who's gonna change the world.

Maybe one with

a little less hair, but yeah.

Same guy, I hope.

Then I'll be there.

I believe in you, Sam.

Just do whatever you need to do

to make it happen.

Executive privilege.

Hi, this is, uh,

Bob fisher calling back.

Uh, I'd like

to make an appointment with, uh,

with clio.

Hi, Bob. Um, yes, clio.

Christy had, uh, said

she'd, uh, tell her about me.

Um, I'm sorry, Bob.

She's out of town at the moment.

Well, when will she be back?

I'm not sure.

Well, when will you know?

I don't know, but, um,

I-I can make a note to call you.

Uh, okay.

Is there another girl

you'd be interested in?

Did you look at Donna

on our website?

She's available.

Donna, yeah.

The brunette.

Right.

Yeah, that's fine.

Sure.

When?

You know, I've been asking

myself what possible wisdom

I can impart to the bright

young minds of tomorrow.

And I was gonna say,

"be anyone you want to be."

If you want to be an attorney,

be an attorney.

You want to be a ballerina,

be a ballerina.

If you want to be a fireman,

be a fireman

or an astronaut or a playwright.

Technology.

I mean, he can talk directly...

But then I realized

that's ridiculous.

When are we gonna talk

about ethics reform

and campaign finance?

I can't be a ballerina,

an astronaut, or a playwright.

I'm just not built that way.

Because really,

you can only be you.

Get your message across.

But maybe that's

what I'll impart.

Be you.

- Coaker's piece.

- Morning, Sam.

Whoever that is.

Be honest about your weaknesses,

but capitalize

on your strengths.

Get to the core

of who you really are,

because the sooner you

figure out who that is...

The sooner you can decide

which grad school

to blow 100 grand on.

Thank you.

This bother you?

- No.

- No?

I can touch you any way I like?

Uh-huh.

Huh?

What If some guy

wanted to cum in your eye?

On those pretty lashes.

You're so pretty.

Why do you let guys

do this sh*t to you?

I don't know.

It's just

what some guys are like.

Well, some guys

aren't supposed to be.

Especially in my line of work.
