Michael Portillo arrives in Washington DC and discovers how it was built from scratch after a political compromise between north and south. At the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, he gets his hands on more money than he has ever held in his life. He soaks up some old-school jazz where Duke Ellington began and grabs a bite at the diner chosen by President Obama for a snack before his inauguration.
