The story so far
Everything you need before watchingIn a White House confrontation, Russell and Douglas force Haney to face the corruption surrounding his presidency. Haney admits he used the office, but insists his books and public appearances were about staying visible, not getting rich. His uneasy confession is interrupted by Agent Kopeck, who arrives with the man who stopped Colonel Tanner. The scene shifts from accusation to a quietly emotional reunion.
