The president , congress, the upper levels of government, all wiped out.

So this is your president ial motorcade . Im seeing it for the first time. This is a small one. Normally theres about 16 cars. Reporter the series marks a return to television for kiefer sutherland, playing a meek, lowlevel cabinet secretary. I, thomas adam kirkman, do solemnly swear reporter whos thrust fully unprepared into the role of president. Its based on a very real, extremely classified safeguard, known as the continuity of government plan. The problem that the continuity of government plan tries to solve is something called decapitation. Reporter abc news consultant and former counterterrorism official dick clark ran the program. Hes the only official to ever deploy it in a crisis. During 9 11. While president bush was in the air, Vice President cheney was rushed to an underground bunker. On 9 11, i activated the system. The continuity of government system. And we asked the speaker of the house to leave washington. We landed a helicopter on the grounds of the capitol, got the speaker to the helicopter, and flew him out of washington. Because we didnt know at that point whether or not the white house or the capitol were going to be hit by hijacked airplanes. Reporter its like something out of a spy novel. Using secret nuclearproof bunkers like this nowdeclassified one under the posh Greenbriar Hotel in the mountains of west virginia. The concept, a remnant of the cold war. But each year a cabinet member is still asked to skip the state of the union address. They are put in a secure location with a support staff before the state of the union begins, and theyre brought back only the neck monxt morning. Reporter former u. S. Attorney general Alberto Gonzalez once served as designated survivor during president bushs 2007 address to joint houses of congress. Madam speaker, Vice President cheney, members of congress, distinguished guests my fbi detail drove me to Andrews Air Force base. There were a group of individuals there from various departments and agencies all carrying these black binders. Their job was to advise me in the event that i assumed the presidency. Then i settled in in front of a large monitor and watched president bush give his state of the union. We must have the will to face difficult challenges reporter he talks about his experience in his new book true faith and allegiance. It suddenly hit me in the middle of that speech, oh my gosh. I looked around the airplane. I thought, oh my gosh. Ive experienced pretty big moments before with president bush. Ive advised him through two wars. I was on the oval office porch on the evening of september 11th when president bush came home that historic day. It really kind of hit me sitting on that airplane. I looked around the plane. At those that were with me. I wondered, would we be up to governing a wounded nation . Wheres the president . In the bunker. Reporter the white house going down is often a hollywood plot line. Whether its rogue foreign terror cells in olympus is fallen olympus is fallen theyre taking the White House Reporter twotiming Double Agents on air force one get off my plane reporter or tentaclecovered alien invaders on independence day.

But pondering how an average joe might react to suddenly becoming commander in chief where are we going . President ial Emergency Operations center. Reporter is what makes designated survivor a thinking mans thriller. This character has to spend a lot of the time thinking about what it means to be a good president. What it means to be a good leader. What do you think it takes to be a good president . I think maybe you have to try and not be a good president. You have to try and be a good person. Youre also one of the eps on the series. Do you ever get tempted to bring the current president ial climate into this storyline . I think its impossible not to. Certainly in the context of our show, we have an opportunity to overcome the divide that seems to have taken hold in america. Give me a kiss. Mwah. Good night, daddy. Its nice to see him play a loving, sweet family man. Is that a side of you the audiences are going to be able to connect to . I think over the course of 24, we made 216 episodes, i think the only time he smiled when is he shot nina meyers. So i smile a lot more in this show. Reporter sutherland is referring to counterterrorism agent jack bauer. His badass alter ego for nee y nearly a decade on 24. Your character is not a hardcore political operative. Hes also not jack bauer. Not by a long shot. Im looking behind me. All of these weapons. My character wouldnt know how to hold that, let alone fire it. Jack bauer was very practice efficient in that. The one thing they do have in common this is commitment to serve publicly. This is the nuclear football. In the pilot they bring out the nuclear football. You say, whats the code . Do i have an eye scan . Do you need my fingerprints or eye scan or something . No, sir. Its not like the movies. The guy laughs and says, yeah, we dont do that. Reporter the show going to Great Lengths to keep things realistic. Were here on the toronto set of designated survivor. The cast and crew hard at work. All of this is the standin for a swanky neighborhood in alexandra, virginia. Every detail well thought out. All the way down to the Washington News van. The president s speechwriter, veteran actor with reallife white house cred. Mr. President , maybe the countrys not ready yet. Reporter kal penn, everyones favorite stoner from harold and kumar. Even played a terrorist on 24. Then famously left hollywood to serve in the office of Public Engagement in the obama administration. Compare and contrast the working conditions inside the beltway versus inside hollywood. You cant, though. Come on. Its so farfetched. Look, i have an air conditioned trailer and somebody will bring me a coffee if i want it, here. There youre in cramped quarters. Im eating vending machine sandwiches and working 19 hours a day. I love that. But this is definitely the makebelieve version. Reporter on set penn became a fact checker. The kal penn seal of approval . Flattering. Its little things. How many people would be in a particular office . Would somebody actually run into this person or are we taking creative license with it . Reporter they brought in a hardhitting political consultant from washington, d. C. You are a speechwriter. I was for two senators and four cabinet secretaries. Worked on a couple of state of the union addresses. Sorry, sir, i told him you were busy. Thats all right. How can i help you . How realistic is the oval office you built . Remarkable. In the white house mens room theres an oldstyle mechanical shoe buffer with red and black brush, we have that. Weve gotten down to fine detail. Thats weird.
