The speaker Dreyer is in his office, telling his media team to plant a quote in the news that they are blaming the attack on Kidder, when Alex cracks in demanding answers. Their tense exchange reveals that although Kidder was responsible for applying a malicious software that performed an attack of zero days, they were actually Dreyer, Alex and the Congressmen and women who were orchestrators of the plan. While Alex wants to own themselves for their participation, Dreyer insists that Kidder – and Kidder Sam – has to bear a fall.

George and Sheila were saved when the director of the Cia -e Jeremy Lasch (Bill Camp) appeared from the forest, spraying the crowd in the air. In the car, Lasch sends a false message on a long -term radio stating that George was killed, before discovering George that he and President Mitchell had reason to believe that Zero Day’s attack was coming from the Government. Now they need George and a zero day commission to confirm who.

While the country is still diverted in darkness and silence, George goes to work – first confronts his daughter Alex before arranging a private meeting with Dreyer. Alex admits to her father, confirming that it is Dreyer’s plan and that their intention, as she understood, was just scared of people, not harming them. The goal, according to Alex, was to remind the land of how fragile and vulnerable it was, silence the extremists and conspiracy theorists afterwards and be able to move forward with positive changes.

George – for which the public assumes dead – then goes to meet Dreyer, who tries to blackmail him in secret.

Before his speech, George seems to be ready to remain silent. Valerie brings a copy of the Nulti Dani commission findings, which is pleased with the conclusions. And when asked by Carl Otieno (McKinley Belcher III), the chief investigator of the Zero Day Commission, about the additional corners that may have been discovered, George excludes it.

“That’s what we’re going with,” George definitely tells him.

But as George delivers his discovery to the congress and nation, he is interrupted by an auditory hallucination that reminds him of his son Nickin’s death. After the current break, George moves away from her prepared speech and reveals that, just as you cannot escape from the memory of someone you love you lost, you cannot avoid the truth.

“Zero Day attack was a conspiracy led by the president of the Richard Dreyer House,” says George shocked by the shocked audience – before he appointed all the congressmen and women who participated.

What does this revelation mean for George’s daughter, Ambassador Alex Mullen and speaker Richard Dreyer?

Even before George exposed the truth about the attack of Zero Day, Alex was ready to turn to and accept the consequences. Although she did not attend her father’s speech, she left him a letter citing intentions to become pure and wrote that she had planned to “face hard truths, not hide from them.” George reads his letter loudly during his address, before pointing his finger at her companions.

While George concludes his congress address, he begs President Mitchell to use every constitutional power to bring justice to traitors Zero Day – including his presenter, Dreyer. Dreyer, who was sitting behind George as he exposed him, is angry and accuses George of destroying the country.

“Every time we can do the right thing, it’s another opportunity to save it,” George replies.

What about Proteus?

While exploring the attack of zero days against the country, George believed that a neurological weapon called Proteus was targeted. The weapons were originally developed by CIA and managed to inflict a traumatic brain injury with its goals from afar, but the program itself excluded the program when it was in power. However, after some digging by Valerie, George learned that he would deal with the symptoms he was dealing with – like visual and auditory hallucinations and loss of memory – a consequence of Proteus attack.

With George’s mental sharpness, Sheila has been calling for testimony to the Committee of the Zero Day Commission. Dreyer directly asks Sheila about George’s state of mind, which she describes as “sound”, muffle of any external doubt about the release of his decision.

However, George’s concern for the target of Proteus only grows when he discovers what seems to be a small device inside the bird feeder on the edge of his property. After being thoroughly investigated by the laboratory, he is considered simply “debris of indefinite origin.” Valerie shows George’s symptoms on the pressure and stress of leading the commission, not the result of Proteus – but they do not have a final answer.

“A top neurological weapon or just a tired old man with too many demon?” George wonders. “Does that really matter?”

Where’s George goes from here?
