Tom find a ladies red shoe in the rubble. How disturbing must that be to find something like that? But, give credit to the President for getting his hands dirty. Tom certainly is a hands-on guy.
Tom surveys the scene up close as the fire department personnel continue to dig through the rubble. Will they find any more bombs or perhaps someone alive?
President Kirkman listens attentively to someone. What kind of information is he being given? Will it be enough to placate the General and stop any forward movement for war?
Only a few hours ago Tom was making burnt pancakes for his family and now he's head of the country. Tom is lucky to have such a loving and supportive wife by his side.
Alex: Tom, you can't do that. You can't make promises you won't be able to keep. Tom: We're in Washington. They're the only promises you're allowed to make.
