The Lottery

Previously on "The Lottery"...

You told me that you could help me get my son back.

We work with very powerful people.

I purchased it last year.

You want to take all the mothers, the kids?

I want to create a better world.

President will approach the hotel roof from the south exit.

I believe you want to kill the president.

Hey, ATF just found a half-assed bomb in a dumpster.

So you will change the security plan?

If they change the venue, our plan goes to shit.

But even if I'm not the mother,

I would still want to be a part of my child's life.

No, I would want that, too.

I would want you to be like the baby's big sister.

I can do sister.

So, do we have a deal?

I should have been there, too.

We were working on this together.

While he was looking, I was at home, in bed with you.

Were you sleeping?

Yeah.

She was right next to us.

General Langdon's planning to kill her.

We have to do whatever's necessary

to protect what we love.

Someone within the government decided

to turn the infertility research into a weapon.

It's a D.C. plate number.

"Mr. Torino" is a pseudonym?

For someone very powerful.

A real beauty, huh?

Did you give it to charity?

How'd you know that?

What is it?

You won't believe it.

What the hell's going on?

It's about my husband, isn't it?

That's why you won't say anything.

A-are you okay?

Yes. Of course.

What were you two talking about?

Nothing important.

I find that hard to believe,

especially as tomorrow, we're going to make history.

We're going to announce the 100 winners.

I could not be more proud of you both.

You've been unbelievable.

Somehow, despite all distractions,

you've managed the lottery with grace and courage.

Thank you.

Now, what were you talking about?

To be honest, I'm sick of all the subtext and code.

We all just need to tell the truth

and be honest with one another.

I agree.

We were discussing what to wear to the event.

That's highly classified information.

You should know

that I'm very good at finding the truth.

Always remember that.

When you get a minute,

I'd like to go over tomorrow's events with you.

For God's sake, Vanessa, what is it?

Tell me.

The president...

your husband...

is responsible for the fertility crisis.

S01E10 In Extremis

This is where we hit the convoy.

Why there?

It's just over the border in Virginia... no D.C. cops.

Only two lanes... makes it hard for them to escape.

But the best part is, there's lots of freeways

adjacent to the intersection.

We can grab Elvis and disappear into the wind.

Good luck with this.

Thank you.

It'd be nice if one day,

we don't have to use guns to get our children back.

I never knew my father. He died when I was young.

But how you're fighting for Elvis,

I like to think that's how he'd fight for me.

I'm sure he would've.

I'm looking forward to you and your son thriving in our new society.

So, you got the embryos, then?

We have a plan in motion.

Your friend Dr. Lennon has been a great asset.

Thank you for introducing us.

Now what?

I don't know.

I don't know where to turn. I don't know who else is involved.

What I do know is that we have to finish

what we started with the lottery.

We have to announce the winners and plant the embryos.

That is the most important thing right now.

And then, we can deal with...

this other issue.

I gave my life to that man. I...

I put off having a family to support his career,

and now... now you're telling me

he's the reason I can't have a baby?

It is incomprehensible, Gabrielle. I know.

I know.

We have to focus on the lottery.

- Yeah. - It is the future.

And we have to keep our mouths shut.

Mr. President. I just found out.

Langdon was a good man... a real good man.

What the hell happened?

I don't know. I just got the call myself.

Son of a bitch survives Afghanistan, Iraq, Venezuela,

to die stabbed to death in a bucolic park in our nation's capital.

Do the police know who did it or why?

No. They're still investigating.

I'd be happy to look into it, sir...

talk to the lead detective, control the information flow.

Thank you.

And I'm sorry. I know you two were close.

I appreciate that.

I'm so sorry.

I should have been there with you.

I feel like it's my fault.

And I'm sorry.

More than you'll ever know.

James?

You're awake?

So that means you heard everything I just said?

You mean blaming yourself for something you had nothing to do with?

How are you feeling?

I feel like... like I got shot in the chest.

I'll get the doctor.

Hold on one second.

Check my pants.

In the closet.

I found that at Kessler's house.

You're amazing.

I'll be in position when your men cause a disturbance.

The Secret Service will evacuate the president via helicopter,

but before he gets on, I'll take him out.

There's been a change of plan... the bomb threat.

He's now leaving through an underground garage.

- So it's off? - No.

Here's the layout of the building.

Tell me what you can make work.

The event is this afternoon.

- Exactly. - There's no time.

There's no choice. This is the moment.

Let me know if you have any questions.

What the hell was General Langdon doing in that park?

It's a mystery.

He was my commander in Venezuela.

He was a great man.

Here's the one thing we do know...

above all else, General Langdon was a patriot.

He would've wanted us to move forward

and realize our objectives.

The president dies tonight.

Oh, my God.

It's the inoculation list.

Damn it, James. You found it.

Hi.

I got your text. I was just about to call you.

I know who Mr. Torino is.

It's Darius.

It's Thomas Westwood.

What?

I saw an old photo of him

standing in front of a green vintage Torino.

It's the same car.

You said the sterility virus was generated by our government.

Westwood used to run Darpa.

He was the man in charge

of all of those crazy military experiments.

When was this?

Eight years ago.

Right around the time the fertility crisis started.

The president?

Well, we got to deal with the logistics, and that hasn't been done.

I'll call you back.

Madam First Lady.

Can I trust you?

Of course.

How can I be of assistance?

First off, let me say...

I love my husband very much.

I know you do.

How can I help?

There's something I want to discuss with you.

I want to go over the post-announcement agenda.

Right now, the 100 winners will be transported

to the Naval Hospital, they will be implanted,

and they will remain under our medical supervision

for four weeks.

Yes. That's what we discussed.

I'm thinking I want to extend our medical supervision

for a longer period of time.

Well, our medical staff thought

that four weeks was more than adequate.

I'm concerned about relinquishing control.
