00:00So, tell me, did anything unusual happen other than my boss dying?
00:04Other than that, yes.
00:06Please state your name for the record.
00:08Jasmine Haney.
00:09We simply want to understand what happened at the White House the night of October 11th.
00:14I was excited about the series because it felt fresh.
00:16Who are you?
00:17There's been an incident.
00:18An incident?
00:19Where's A.B.?
00:21The show is about a murder mystery at the White House on the night of a state dinner.
00:25A.B. Winter, the head usher, is found dead.
00:27And the renowned Detective Cordelia Cupp is put on the case.
00:32There are 200 people down there, including the President of the United States.
00:36And now there is a dead man up here.
00:38Who's he?
00:40Edwin Park, Special Agent, FBI.
00:43Ugh.
00:44I'm really just here to help.
00:45Lock it down. Now.
00:47This is a disaster.
00:49What's fun is that we always hear about West Wing of the White House, but we never hear about the residents.
00:53It's said among the housekeepers, the butlers, the chefs, all the people who make the White House run.
00:59All of these departments report to exactly one person.
01:03The chief usher.
01:04The residents is this selection of wacky, hysterical characters.
01:10You are not going to take away my kangaroos.
01:13I am going to kill you!
01:16It's a bit of an upstairs-downstairs murder mystery.
01:20If you want to understand the White House residents, you have to understand this.
01:23It's us versus them.
01:26It's a really smart, really fun whodunit.
01:28A lot of red herrings.
01:29You think you got it, and then you don't have it.
01:31What if I said I killed him?
01:32That would move things along.
01:33You're like, wait, wait, this person did it.
01:35And then you go, oh, wait a minute.
01:37A lot of twists and turns.
01:38Couple things before we get started.
01:40Just want to make sure we're all here for the murder of A.B. Winter.
01:45If you're here for another murder, that's like a huge problem.
01:48The cast is huge and just loaded with all of these brilliant actors.
01:53They are all such heavy hitters.
01:55Have you been drinking?
01:56Am I under oath?
01:57It's almost like y'all can't be real, it can't be this good.
02:00You're the president's brother and you live in his house.
02:02Why didn't he invite you?
02:03Because he wanted to have the most boring party imaginable.
02:06That clearly didn't work.
02:08Yeah.
02:09When you have seasoned actors who are really listening to each other, the rhythm of comedy really comes out.
02:14I have diplomatic immunity.
02:15That's what they tell me.
02:16Just want to be clear on that.
02:17Right.
02:18Are you clear on that?
02:20It makes it very easy to make bold choices and just have fun with it.
02:25Do you have an air pod in right now?
02:27It's a podcast about bread making.
02:28Keeps my stress level down.
02:30Paul William Davies is our showrunner and he's a genius.
02:34I mean, look at these sets.
02:35They're just so detailed and very accurate to the actual residents.
02:39I love the humor and the adventurous energy that it has.
02:43This is the most twisty, turny murder mystery I've ever seen.
02:47It's all stakes.
02:48Where was I?
02:49Was I on the third floor tonight?
02:51What are you suggesting?
02:53And the question is, who done it?
02:55Who's the murderer?
02:56We can't, sorry.
02:57What do you think?
02:58It's in my contract not to tell you.
02:59You'll have to watch it.
03:02I am going to be dead by the end of the night.
