The story so far
Everything you need before watchingTwo former presidents trade accusations at home, each insisting the other may be tied to Charlie's death. A child's interruption briefly turns the tense argument into family comedy, but the mood changes when an NSA colonel arrives with an urgent summons. The scene's sharp humor comes from the contrast between casual insults, playful family talk, and the colonel's polished official language.
