Legacy

In the future documentary, there is a host who explains how Jack fought in the War of Americas and became a war hero (but was badly injured with his old knee injury becoming permanent), then became a famous public defender, was elected into Congress, and shot to death by a drug addict while driving to his son's soccer game. Jack was married and had two sons. Bobby was the one who encouraged Jack who was a Democrat to run for Congress and inherited Jack's seat when he died. An older Peter and the Adult Marcus tell what happens after Jack dies. The host also says how everything the brothers do in the future are tied back to the day that they met their father in prison. The future reveals Jack's heartbreaking fate and details Bobby's unlikely road to the Presidency and, for the first time, we hear the voice (Tim Robbins, "Mystic River") of President McCallister. In the present, Jack and Bobby discover that Grace plans to visit their father, Juan (guest star Lou Diamond Phillips, "La Bamba")

Bobby vuole assolutamente andare a conoscere suo padre Juan, detenuto in un carcere nel Texas. Jack non approva, ma decide di accompagnarlo, e alla fine è il solo ad incontrarlo. Quest'incontro fa prendere a Jack la decisione di diventare avvocato e difendere i più deboli. Lo attende un futuro di grande successo in politica, che però viene stroncato da un evento tragico...
