Them, and in the United States, theres a lot of tradition involved firearms. People like guns of the old west, they like them the way Davie Crockett used them, they like them the way they were used years ago. Stahl that was the case a decade and a half ago, as Jonathan Mossberg found out. He had left his familys gun making business, mossberg and sons, and invented a smart gun that works in conjunction with a ring. Do i get. Get my own, right . Jonathan mossberg yeah, you get your own ring. Stahl the ring has a tiny computer chip inside a black stone which transmits a signal. When its close to the trigger, it unlocks the gun. Mossberg alternatively, if i were to grab it, you know, nothing happens. Stahl mossbergs gun was ready to sell 13 years ago, but. Mossberg people werent really. There was some market, but not enough, so we decided not to sell it. Stahl and has something changed . Mossberg yes. We all started living with these evil things, and so we became comfortable trusting it. They guide us to our destinations. They make sure were okay for meetings, and theyre extremely reliable. Stahl he thinks that todays young parents, comfortable with technology, are a ripe market. And Silicon Valley agrees. Ron conway this is going to happen outside the gun industry. Why they arent doing research and investing in this baffles me. Stahl ron conway, one of the early investors in facebook and google, is now looking for, he says, the Mark Zuckerberg of guns. He has funded at least 15 smart gun inventors, including those involved in the two guns we tested. Are you thinking that, if the gun manufacturers dont come along, that theyre going to be like kodak . Conway absolutely. Stahl this is what youre saying. Conway yes kodak and polaroid all wrapped in one. You cannot stop innovation. And this is an area where innovation is taking over. Stahl are you not worried about the politics of this whole issue . Conway i think, for technology and innovation, we have to ignore politics. Stahl can you . Conway of course you can. Stahl but when it comes to guns, its all about politics. Just ask andy raymond. Raymond i got caught up in the middle of something that was way beyond me, way beyond my capabilities, and got caught between two sides that. I mean, it was just. I will never, ever, ever touch anything else like that ever, ever again. Stahl as of today, you cannot find a smart gun to buy in the United States. Senator Loretta Weinberg told us that she plans to ask the new Jersey State Legislature to repeal the mandate, but replace it with a demand that dealers display at least one smart gun in their stores. Question is, will dealers be too gunshy . If this gun does take off, would you sell it . Raymond absolutely not. Stahl ever . Raymond i would rather be shot by a smart gun than sell one.

Half the passengers survived, but the sea closed over more than 200 men, women and children who were locked below the deck. You would think a disaster like that would be legendary. But the st. Joseph was a slave ship, and the screams bursting from the hold were the cries of cargo. Today, the silence of those lost voices is unbearable to lonnie bunch. Hes the founding director of the Smithsonian National museum of africanamerican history and culture, now under construction in washington. Bunch found that, to tell history, the smithsonian would have to make history. And so began a quest for the remains of a shipwreck in a land so unchanged that an 18th century slave would recognize it today as the last shore he called home. Mozambique island defies the erosion of time. The portuguese colonists who claimed it 500 years ago would still find the cut of the cloth that borrows the wind as familiar as the cut of the stone that framed their city. Lonnie bunch came to this capital of the slave trade because he was determined to launch americas new National Museum on the remains of a ship. Lonnie bunch i thought it wouldnt be hard, so i called museums around the world and said, okay, look, you must have some things. You must know where i can get some material. And everybody said, nope. And they said to me, well, lonnie, almost every slave ship was at the end of its life, so its probably at the ocean floor. And then i got scared. Then i thought, well, im not going to be able to find this. Pelley Mozambique Island rises from the indian ocean, south of the equator. It was one of the points in what was called the triangular tradegoods from europe to africa, slaves to the new world, and cotton, gold and tobacco back to the old. In the 1400s, the portuguese were the first europeans to trade in slaves, and they became the largest, followed by the english, french, spanish and dutch. On Mozambique Island, the portuguese built a fortress that they called st. Sebastian for the Christian Martyr who was captured, chained, and murdered in rome in the year 288. The irony of that name was the only thing here the portuguese failed to grasp. You know, when you look at the enormous effort that went into building this fort, they were protecting something that was hugely valuable to them. Bunch they recognized that the key to their future as nations with Economic Prosperity was the slave trade. Pelley the fort oversaw the trafficking of more than 400,000 slaves. Bunch was certain there had to be evidence of a ship, and he soon discovered he wasnt the only one looking. Decio muianga give me a hand. Pelley he found a group of researchers calling themselves the slave wrecks project, and they were following a promising lead. What do we find down here . Muianga a very interesting thing. Pelley Decio Muianga is a mozambican archeologist helping the slave wrecks project locate the beginning of the story. Muianga this is a tunnel that was used to put slaves inside the island, or put them out of the island, as well. Pelley under the old portuguese town, tunnels connected holding pens to the sea. The devout portuguese preferred to keep slaves in transit out of sight. How were these slaves captured . Muianga some individuals, african individuals, specialize in capturing slaves. So, theyll go and raid villages far, far from here. And they walked, chained, all the way from there to here. And of course, lots of them died on the way. Pelley so these were africans. Muianga yes. Pelley . Capturing africans . Muianga yes. Yes, it was not only a business for the portuguese the europeans in this case but also for the some of the local chiefs, as well. Pelley those local chiefs came to this auction house to sell captives to european clients. Bunch a male in the late 18th century, early 19th century would go anywhere from 600 to 1,500, which is probably about, oh, 9,000 to 15,000 today. Pelley this was incredibly lucrative. Bunch in the years before the civil war, the amount of money invested in slaves was more than the amount of money invested in railroads, banks, and businesses combined. This was the economic engine of europe and the United States. By the time you got here. Pelley the enslaved marched from the auction house down this ramp and on to the ships. Bunch what you probably had was almost an assembly line. Youd bring people, youd sell people. Then, you would move them onto the boats and off to the new world. Pelley what does black america need to hear, in your estimation, from the echoes off these steps . Bunch i think all americans need to recognize that, as tragic and horrible as slavery was, as big an economic shadow as it cast, the one thing it didnt do was strip people of their humanity. And i wish that all of us were as strong as the people that walked down those steps and got on those boats. Steve lubkemann were wading out into the tidal flats. Pelley if lonnie bunch was to find his slave ship, he would need steve lubkemann, cofounder of the slave wrecks project. Hes an anthropologist from George Washington university who believes that slavery is the greatest story in maritime archaeology. Lubkemann think about the way in which computers nowadays affect all of our lives. Its not just. It doesnt affect just the computing industry. Everything is interlinked and depends on this. And the slave trade, in its time, was truly the equivalent. It reached into and influenced and created the modern world. Pelley even so, its not likely much has survived centuries under the sea. Were not talking about a hull that youre going to find down there, and masts, and all of that, that you would imagine in your minds eye . Lubkemann we dont find intact ships. We find parts of ships, you have to go underneath the water, add some difficulty to this, find the pieces, try to put them back together. And put together the story that you can. Pelley the story lubkemann was searching for wasnt discovered underneath the water. His ship was lost in the dry official records of cape town, south africa, which reach back to the 1600s. The slave wrecks project had been diving into these binders for months when they discovered the st. Joseph, known in portuguese as the sao jose. The sao jose arrived at Mozambique Island in 1794. The cargo manifest records 1,500 iron bars for ballast and more than 400 slaves bound for brazil. This is a cargo sketch from a different, but typical, ship. Paul gardullo is a historian of slavery and curator of the smithsonian museum. Paul gardullo bodies and souls laid side by side with no room to move, no sanitation. Many people on these voyages died. Pelley how long was that journey . Gardullo a journey like the one the sao jose took would. Could take up to four or more months. Pelley this is slavery on a Global Industrial scale. Gardullo from about 1500 through the 19th century, through the late 1800s, were talking about at least 12 Million People who were taken from their homelands across the sea. Many, many hundreds of thousands more untold people were lost during that trade. Pelley off cape town, south africa, the captain of the sao jose was caught between a Violent Storm and a nautical chart spiked with warnings whittle rock, bellows rock, rocky bank. The sao jose crashed, 212 slaves were killed. And because money had been lost, there was an investigation. Interviews with survivors have survived. Lubkemann this is the crews account, and right here, we have the captains account. And he signed his name here, 220 years ago. Pelley incredible. Lubkemann he said he decided to save the slaves and the people. The people are the crew; the slaves are just cargo. Pelley the 200yearold investigation pinpointed the site. And in 2010, divers, responding to a metal detector, discovered bars of iron. One of those divers is jaco boshoff, an archaeologist with south africas iziko museum, and lubkemanns partner in founding the slave wrecks project. Boshoff says these are the iron bars we mentioned a moment ago on the sao jose manifest, the ballast for the ship. So you actually were excavating the sand on the sea bottom, this stuff was under the sand. Jaco boshoff under the sand. Pelley so youre in how much water . Boshoff about five meters of water. Pelley about 15 to 20 feet of water . Boshoff thats correct. Pelley and then these are two feet under the sand below that. Boshoff thats right. Pelley turns out Shallow Water only makes the work harder. Surf tosses the divers. And sand, vacuumed away, settles back within hours. But, after more than 300 dives, this is what theyve recovered so far. These are nails that pinned sheets of copper over the hull for protection. What looks like a lump of concrete is marine growth on a wooden pulley block, similar to this one used to hoist sails and cargo. This xray shows the two white spaces where rope was threaded around the wheel. The divers discovered wood that a lab would later trace back to mozambique. And this may be the most revealing artifact of all masked by two centuries under the sea, xrays show a shackle, similar to this, used to bind slaves. Boshoff so theres a long bar running through. And shackles had. Often were on a long bar, the leg shackles especially. Pelley so a long iron bar with a round metal ring . Boshoff that sort of thing, yes. And in this particular case, leg shackles. Pelley leg shackles . Boshoff thats right. Pelley have you found everything thats down there now . Boshoff no, not at all. Not even close. Weve got a lot more to do. Weve only scratched the surface at this stage. Pelley how can you be sure that the wreck you found off cape town is, in fact, the sao jose . Lubkemann there are certain types of artifacts that are found on this wreck that put us within a particular time bracket ceramics, for example. But then there are other things that i think are very important. We have an account that gives enormous specificity, in terms of geographic location, and it tells us the bay in which it was located. Finally, we find a document in lisbon that says the sao joses manifest when it left lisbon, and the first item on that said, 1,500 bars of iron ballast. You put all of those different lines of evidence together, its almost statistically impossible that it could be anything else. Pelley they are the first artifacts known to be preserved from a ship on a voyage of slavery. And they will anchor the slavery exhibit, next fall, when lonnie bunch opens the National Museum of africanamerican history and culture on the mall in washington. Bunch the story of slavery is everybodys story. It is the story about how were all shaped by, regardless of race, regardless of how long weve been in this country. We hope that we can be a factor to both educate america around this subject, but maybe more importantly, help americans finally wrestle with this, talk about it, debate it, because only through that conversation can we ever find the reconciliation, the healing that i think we all want. Lonnie bunch has some surprising ideas about how to approach a painful past. Go to 60minutesovertime. Com. Recommend synthetic over cedar . Super food . Is that a real thing .

You walked right into that one, dad. I thought i might contrast expensive looks with affordable alternatives. phone buzzing then i can write about makeup, too. Oh, thats a good idea. Maybe we could go to the mall this weekend and check out the higherend makeup lines. Then i can find similar shades in the drugstore brands. Compare and contrast, you know . Mom. Hang on one second. Anton gorev wants to speak to me. Last i heard, he was holed up in london. Mom. Just. Baby, give me a minute. Forget it. I have to go. Is she mad . I heard mall, makeup, and then i kind of went out. She wants you to take her to the mall. Oh, i can do that. I gotta make this call, though. Okay. And, for the record, i think you look great in block heels. Nice try. I. Gorev im sure you know that Prime Minister rozovsky is stepping down as acting president of russia, and that maria ostrov asked for a special election, to be held in 30 days. A blatant power grab on her part. Yeah. Shes asking for an open and vigorous debate, but given the amount of influence shes amassed in the last month, i doubt anyones going to step up to challenge her. I will challenge her. And i will win. Im listening. Mrs. Ostrov may have the generals in her pocket, but the tensions she is fomenting with ukraine are bad for business. Russias highestranking officials and billionaires want peace, not war. They want me. But to mount a campaign, i need my money. When pavel ostrov died, you said you hoped i would succeed him. And i meant it. Well, elizabeth, the wheel is still turning. Jay good morning, a team. Daisy reading your memo. More like battle plan. But thanks. You up to speed . Skimmed it. So, no. Essentially, russia is waging an information war in eastern europe. The Russian Television network broadcasts these cheesy game shows that can be picked up in the eastern part of ukraine and the baltic states. Where a lot of ethnic russians live. Just read that part. Right. The shows are popular with those folks, and when theyre over, the kremlin airs a news hour. Otherwise known as statecontrolled propaganda. Exactly. False reports that ethnic russians are being murdered in the west. Estonian Nuclear Plants are melting down. That ukraine is secretly planning to invade russia. Without any truth to counter it, people believe the lies. And every day, u. S. Security interests in europe are undermined. So whats your battle plan . Public diplomacy thinks that if we could license a Popular American program, we could air it opposite the russian game shows. Steal those viewers away. Baywatch or lets make a dealski . I mean, its. Its no contest. And then we follow our show with a real news hour. I talked it over with the secretary and she feels strongly that we need to fight russian aggression on all fronts, and that means implementing a longterm media strategy. Game on. Whats our budget . Nothing hollywood would be interested in. As we know, an extremely malicious piece of malware allowed our bad actor to hack into air force ones Computer System and shut down communication. It took 100 Software Engineers a month of decoding millions of lines of encrypted code, but they were finally able to uncover this plc rootkit code sequence. Which is what, exactly . If hackers today think of themselves as brands, this sequence is a digital autograph. Its unique to a legendary black hat who goes by the handle dash. Legendary, huh . Oliver in the last decade, this guy has executed offensives for china, north korea, russia and iran. If youve got the cash, hes your goto guy for cyber terror. So who hired him this time . Working on that. Do we have an id . Allegedly, this. Is dash. I pulled the photo off the darknet, sent it to interpol. So far, nothing. Heres the bad news. According to the chatter ive been listening to, hes planning another attack. How do you top hacking air force one . Hit the white house. Elizabeth pentagon. Our missile systems. Weve shored up our firewalls, but since the best defense is a good offense, were also setting a few honeypots. Dummy servers with false software and decoy information to lure him in. And once hes on the hook . Then we can hack back. Maybe locate his actual server. Then, boom. Hes ours. This is our top priority. Get into it with cybercom. Thats the next stop on my whirlwind tour. Thank you, mr. President. I got an interesting call from anton gorev this morning, saying he wants to return home to run against maria ostrov next month. Is anyone else experiencing deja vu . We went down this road, elizabeth, and we crashed and burned. This election is another opportunity to get a moderate in the kremlin. Election. Do we really think maria ostrov has any respect for the democratic process . About as much respect as she has for ukraines border. At least with our lethal aid package we can deal with that situation directly. The ukrainian president is at the pentagon as we speak. But heres the thing. If gorev was in power, ukraine wouldnt need aid. That whole situation could be dialed back. Maybe. But has he got a shot . Gorevs numbers have been steadily rising, particularly with disaffected young russians. He still has influential friends, and if he can lure one or two generals over to his side, that moves the needle. So what does he want from us . He needs cash. The sanctions in the uk have frozen his accounts. They want our okay to lift them. I can reach out to the British Ambassador, see if theres a deal to be made. All right. Keep me informed. Okay. Henry i understand your commanders in town. General doroshevich. Dmitri ive been invited to a luncheon for the general at the embassy this afternoon. You have instructions . Just keep an ear out. Especially if theres any talk of ukraine. You okay with that . If i say no, i wont spy on my country, your people will refuse care to my sister. Maybe beat me with a phone book again. So, yes, im okay with that. Is that all . Okay, listen to me, dmitri. I know that you dont like this. I dont much like it, either. But im here, doing the work, because russia is heading down a path that could be disastrous. I dont need to hear about russia. I know then stop behaving like a child and help me. Have you ever heard of Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov . Im assuming hes not a relative. Petrov is a common name. No, ive never heard of him. Hes a russian hero, although your government doesnt like to acknowledge that. I dont understand. One night in 1983, petrov was at his post at the missile attack Early Warning system when suddenly, all the alarms went off. There was a high reliabilit that the United States had launched icbms into the soviet union. Petrovs training dictated that he launch russian missiles as a retaliatory strike against the United States. But his gut. Told him that it had to be a false alarm. So he called his superiors and he told them not to launch. And then he waited for 23 long minutes, and when no missiles fell, he knew he was right. Stanislav petrov saved the world, because he trusted his instincts. I think your instincts are telling you to work with me, because you know its best for russia and for the rest of the world. Blake i will talk to the secretary. Well. Stall him. The British Ambassadors already here . No, maam. Its ukrainian president mikhail bozek. His motorcade just drove up. What . Hes requesting a meeting with you. So hes done picking up weapons at the pentagon and he doesnt have any lunch plans . Its highly unusual, maam. What would you like to do . Mikhail, what a surprise. Thank you for seeing me. Of course. Uh, this is nadine tolliver, my chief of staff, and jay whitman, my chief policy advisor. Pleasure to meet you both. I hope everything was satisfactory with our aid package. It is all very much appreciated. I want to assure you that our support of ukraine extends beyond military aid. Um, jay. I. Sit, please. Jay is working to counteract the propaganda thats been coming out of russia lately. Russian news anchors say my government is illegal. That im a usurper. Were doing everything we can to fight that message. Unfortunately, the situation is approaching a crisis point, which is why i am here. Ukraine must become a full nato member, immediately. Well, applying for nato membership is a yearslong process. Yes, but the situation has drastically changed. You have influence with president dalton. You can convince him that ukraine requires this protection. But its more than protection. If russia invaded ukraine, the Nato Response force would be required to challenge russia militarily. Were talking about a global conflict. Even if the president was willing to fast track your admission, the nato members will never agree to admit your country while there are tensions with russia. Tensions . The moment maria ostrov is elected, she will launch an invasion into western ukraine. Will you just sit by and watch . Ill let the president know that we spoke. Please. Also let him know that ukraines fate is in your hands. The next time you see me, i may be strung up in mykhailivska square. Thank you for your time, elizabeth. Of course. Ill see you out, mr. President. indistinct chatter see, the truth is whether or not ukraine is a member of nato, i dont believe that well let russia attack the west without launching a military strike back of our own. Blake maam . Uh, British Ambassador Graham Shenton is on his way up. Right. I hope shenton is in an accommodating mood. chuckles we really need the u. K. To lift those sanctions on gorevs cash. You. You think he can beat maria ostrov . I hope so. Anton gorev becoming president of russia might mean the difference between peace and world war iii. Might mean the difference between peace whatever life throws your way, youve got it in the bag. Youve got t. J. Maxx keep your standards high, and your spending low. Maxx life elizabeth mr. Ambassador, anton gorev is under the impression that the u. K. Is willing to lift the sanctions on his accounts. Uh, given u. S. Approval. Well, thats what we told him. But we assumed it be a nonissue, because you would refuse. Well, the president is considering his request. So, whats the real problem . The 138 oligarchs whose sanctions wont be lifted. Ah, so if you release the sanctions on gorev, the rest will beat a path to your door. There should be some way to get the man back his own money. Elizabeth wait a minute. Didnt i read an oped. . By, um, sir Richard Edgemont in, it was in the sunday times. He was. He was complaining thatthat the londoners had sold too much of their property to the russians . He said his hometown was beginning to look like londongrad. Uh, yes, the gentry made millions off the oligarchs. Now theyre complaining theres too much coffee and vatrushka on the corner shops. Not enough tea and scones. Anton gorev owns at least three properties in england. Theyve got to be worth close to a 100 million total. What if we could convince sir richard to buy them from him for cash . Well, that would certainly fill gorevs coffers. Uh, but would it trigger the sanctions . It shouldnt, if he used an offshore bank. And i could make sure the finance ministry doesnt throw up any red flags. Mr. Ambassador, thank you so much for coming in. I really appreciate it. Madam secretary. Great. short laugh door closes oliver shaw sent over a hardcopy of his report on the air force one cyberattack. Any news on his hacker trap . No, not yet. Oh, uh, your studio executives are on their way up. Show time. Think im ready for my closeup. Daisy and this is the conference room. Where many important deals have been struck. Well, thanks for the tour. There is so much history here. Ive always wanted to develop some kind of historical political drama. Like johnadams, but as a series. Well, ive tried it. And, uh, its cost prohibitive. Man and boring. Unless theyre all sleeping together. Thats very washington. Not in this office. So i gave you a rough outline of what were hoping to achieve in the email i sent. Right, so you want to air our shows in eastern europe, and then follow them with prowestern news. Im sure youve heard about russias recent aggression. I cant get into the classified details, but in the next few months, we could be on the brink of war in europe. Daisy altering the negative perceptions of the u. S. In the minds of ethnic russians could literally change the course of our future. Well, ii just want to say that, uh, itits an honor to be asked to contribute to the cause. Contribute. Now, thats an excellent word. Were asking you to make a contribution to your country, in the name of patriotism. Okay. So, our studio produces Television Shows at a deficit. And we make our money back over time through license fees. So, um, what were you thinking in terms of a fee . Actually, i was using the word contribute literally. Mm. imitates explosion you should not be on your own. People will say you keep secrets. They can say what they like. I will stand with you. Well look like we are being social together. Youre a good friend, ivan. And a good russian. Sometimes i find it is not so easy to be both. buttons beeping line ringing cell phone ringing hello . Its dmitri. Yeah, whats up . Sir, i cant do this. Where are you . Imim, uh, im in the embassy. I drank too much. Okay, listen to me. You got to get yourself together and get out of there. Do you understand . No, you dont understand. Now, dmitri. We can talk later. door opens, closes dalton did bozek really ask to join nato . That lethal aid package he got from us mustve included a pair of brass ones. Okay, hes right to be concerned. The situation is growing worse by the day. We need somebody who can deescalate it. I know you think that someone is anton gorev. But he doesnt have the money to run. Its true that the british refuse to lift the sanctions, but but you have a backup plan. I just spoke to sir Richard Edgemont. And he is willing to purchase gorevs two london townhouses and his country home in wiltshire for 80 million cash. Its a great deal for everyone. Craig except us. With all the hoops were jumping through on his behalf, anton gorev should be required to work withour intel. When pavel ostrov was president , gorev was his righthand man for gods sake. He has information we could use. He will never go for it. Hes not gonna betray his country for money. Even if that money was the difference between a return to power and a lifetime in exile . For one minute, lets think of gorev as an asset. Not just the answer to our russian problem. And im afraid that if we push him too hard and he walks away, well be handing maria ostrov the presidency. Im not convinced he will walk away. Hes a loyalist. Hes a desperate man. In need of money. sighs hold the cash. Lets turn the screws. car engine starts up i can make parts of the state department and white house available for film shoots. Oh, thats a nice offer, jay. But its pretty easy to shoot in l. A. Or new york and make it look like d. C. And even if we did agree to forgo our profits, someone still has to pay residuals to the actors in the show, the writers and directors. We can negotiate waivers. With the talent unions . I mean, maybe you should try something easier, like a, uh, middle east peace accord. Now, jay, you want an expensive product for virtually nothing. Just because you have a special interest, it doesnt meant that iim sorry. Helping to prevent world war iii is a special interest . cause. Thats whats at stake here. What the hell are you doing . What . Im walking down the street. This is a free country, right . Not for you. Not right now. You have got to stay sharp, dmitri you make one stupid mistake, and you can get yourself killed. Yeah, what doesnt matter as long as i do my job . It matters to me. It matters to your sister. Go get sober, then call me. Wait. Is anton gorev gonna run against maria ostrov for the presidency . Why do you ask . Well, i overheard some Intelligence Officers say that they were bringing gorevs daughter to the embassy. Olga . Yeah. They said she would stay for a month. Then i thought maybe shes some kind of leverage. But maybe this is at her request. Go back to your dorm. Lehane i know this is disappointing, but in many ways, the Entertainment Industry is like the federal government, right . Its large, somewhat inefficient, and its very resistant to change. If you would just agree to keep working with me, i. Much as i hate to do it, i cant. Itsits just not feasible. I have to pass. I can get you ten minutes with the president. I already met him fundraiser at Gwen Stefanis house. Matt its nice to meet you. Daisy great meeting you, thank you so much. It was so nice to meet you. elevator dings thank you. Okay, appreciate it. Okay, nice to see you. Nice to see you. Okay, lets go. Listen, youre right, okay . I dont. I dont have anything to trade with you. Come on. Ten years ago, i was stationed at a consulate in herat, afghanistan. It was dangerous, but wed been there for months, no problems. We let our guard down. One of our suvs hit a roadside bomb, and three Foreign Service officers were killed. Friends of mine. Im so sorry. Imim not done. We were evacuated the next day. I was getting on a h. I was literally getting on a helicopter. When the consul came up, he wanted me to stay with him andand handle the arrangements for the bodies. We needed to get them back to the states, to their families. I said, no. Let someone else do it. I was young and scared, and i wa. I wanted to go home. But the next morning, i regretted it, and every day since, i regret it, because when it was my turn to help, i. I said no. This is your turn. And if you say no, if you say, let someone else do it, i promise you, youll wake up tomorrow morning. And youll. Youll regret it. elevator dings im sorry, jay. I, uh, i really am. buzzing professor mccord. Is everything all right . Olga, i think it would be a good idea if you came to stay with elizabeth and me for a couple of days. Do i have time to pack a bag . Im gonna say no. Olga gorev, come with us. Hey, guys, what can i do for you . This is not your business, mister. Her father send us. Oh, it must be some kind of mistake, cause just got off the phone with her father. Anton and i are old friends. Ill have him give you a call, let you know that everythings okay. My only makeup .

[ male announcer ] from loreal. My true match. When i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung,h. It was serious. Fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. Treatment with xarelto®. Hey guys hey, finally, somebody i can look up to. Besides arnie. Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, theres limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions. Dont get me started on that. I didnt have to. We started on xarelto®. Nice pass. Safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. You know xarelto® is the 1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. Thats a big win. It is for me. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto®. Was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®.
