Sir? Said I didn't want to be disturbed.
Uh, well, sir, I, um Yeah, no, go home.
Uh, yes, but, sir, um Are you really gonna try to have these people keep me out of here? Think I would do better with a guard dog.

Please bite me.
Go to bed.
I would, but we have a problem.
[SIGHS.]
Yeah, I know.
You're still breathing.
That little bitch you call a daughter is missing.
What? She's gone.
That's not possible.
It's the White House.
She can't just leave.
Okay, fine.
I knew you wouldn't believe me.
Yeah, you know what? I don't believe you trying to get my attention.
Ask your man.
What man is that? Max? Hmm.
I'll call him.
W-Wait.
He's not on-site, is he? I don't know.
Where is he, Hunter? I don't know.
No, you do.
Did he go to get that girl? Would you just go to bed? Don't you dare pretend to be working.
Can't you see these intel briefs? I see the porn reflecting in your glasses, asshole.
I swear, if you bring that girl into this place again, you will regret it.
So will you, darling, so will you.
I regret the day I met you every second.
[PHONE RINGING.]

Yes, sir.
Hold her somewhere for a second, okay? Yes, sir.

And where are you? I'm on assignment.
Off-grounds? - Yes.

He won't talk to me.
You knew about this? I helped her get away from here.
Jason.
No she tased her like a wild animal.
She was behaving like one.
And what do you think you do every day? You keep talking, and you'll be next to get the taser.

You know, dad, if I can pull one over on the secret service, they're not very good.
Yeah, you, uh You got that right.
Go to bed.
'Night.
I knew it.
I just told you to go to bed.
You had better get that little bitch in line.
Or what? I will.
Is that what you were doing when you tased her? If this gets to the press What, you'll look like the evil mother that you are? You get that girl in line, and I mean it.
Why are we just sitting here? We've been delayed.
Let me go, please.

- You think you can just do this? I'm not a slave.
I will go to the press.
Hey, that wouldn't be wise.
Watch me.
Don't do anything stupid, ma'am.
There have been others, and I assure you, they all regret it.
Is that a threat? [MAX SIGHS.]

How the hell does this happen? What's going on? Permission to speak freely, sir? Go ahead.
Well, your lead, sir, Max I know that he is very trusted and has come with you from the governor's mansion, but I've worked here for two administrations.
Now, there are certain protocols that have to be adhered to that Max isn't aware of, and I'd like - Max is my guy.
- Yes, sir, I understand that, but I think that it may be wise to perhaps let Max continue to be your guy, but under our supervision.
What's your name? Kyle Flint, sir.
All right.
I'll talk to Max.

I'm on it personally, sir.

Didn't have sex with him, but I could have.
Then I started thinking about Richard and Barry and How much it would hurt 'em.
So I stopped it.

- I'm on my way to the White House.
- Yes, sir.
Any press on this? No, sir.
We have it contained.
Okay.
Okay, great.
Is that a compliment, sir? [BEEP.]
Damn.
Where the hell are you? - Yo, li'l mama.
- [SIGHS.]
Yo, , you don't hear us? Go to hell.
You're gonna be stuck-up today? Who the hell you think you're talking to? Don't touch me.
Oh, you think you're all that, huh? Funny.
I said don't touch me.
What? [GAYLE SCREAMING.]
Are you still upset? I'm fine.
Are you sure? Just leave me in the dark.
- Well, I just came up - Stop beating around the bush.
What is it? Look, I I have to go to the White House.
Then go.
Can we talk about this when I return? Talk about what? I mean, you won't tell me anything.
Honey, it's Just go.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
Don't scream.
Don't run.
Next on "The Oval" - What do you want? - You.
Can you believe those idiots lost my daughter? I find that very hard to believe.
Then maybe you shouldn't have hired Max.
That idiot.
So you're his trained monkey? - That's offensive, ma'am.
- Barry! I seen you before! Where's my daughter at?! - She doesn't know! - I don't want to see you.
- Why, 'cause of my wife? - Yeah, that bitch is crazy.
- [GRUNTS.]
- Is he dealing drugs? - What are you talking about? - Just tell me! - What do you think of Max? - I know that he has been with you a very long time.
Justice for Thomas!
