Previously on The West Wing...

DONNA:
Southwest states are out.

We're tied in South Carolina
and Arkansas and California.

You say you want
to be involved.

Doesn't come with
an embossed invitation.

You involve yourself,
or you don't.

C.J.:
I have an awkward question
to ask about your brother.

Did David ever mention anything

about another kind
of space shuttle?

A military shuttle?

Did he ever mention anything
about anything like that?

Sentencing guidelines,
even for somebody

who's a first-time offender,
were 63 to 78 months jail time.

You have an obligation...
Please don't
bring up my kids.

PRESIDENT:
When you walk out of here,
there'll be people out there

who'll think of you as a hero.

I just don't for a moment

want you thinking
I'll be one of them.

( jet soaring )

ANNABETH:
* For once in my life

* I found someone
who needs me *

* Someone I've needed
so long... *

Now that was a rally.
30,000 people.

And one hell of
an opening act.

* For once, unafraid I will go
where life leads me... *

You know he was 17
when he recorded that?

It's kind
of hot.

You partial to
young achievers?
Yeah. Musicians, really.

Oh.
*Where my heart
only dreamed of... *

Okay, easy
there, Stevie.

Hey, if you
can't boogie
to the man...

I think
she's singing about Leo.

Chicago, we hardly knew ye.
We're in
St. Louis.

Really?
Uh-huh.

We should hit the town, try some
of that fresh frozen custard.

We have an early rally
in Scranton, sir.

That's not even an option?
Afraid not.

Is sleep an option?
Sleep is for the weak.

Oh, you've had six hours
in the last three days.

You're starting
to talk funny.

We've added some
jokes to the stump.
Oh!

We'll get him to sleep
just as soon

as we go over
the five day schedule.

LOU:
Man, it's ugly.
Very.

Four states and
six markets a day.

Killer, huh?
You sound excited about this.

I'm just saying,
Everest is for sissies.

You're a masochist.
DONNA:
This is news?

JOSH:
Hey. I heard
he heard well.

Almost as good as Mr. Wonder.

Speaking of which,
where's Annabeth?

I gagged her and threw her
in a luggage compartment.

She's checking
in with Leo.
Apparently.

JOSH:
Excuse me?
Nothing.

Really?
What?!

LOU:
Nothing.
You don't want to know.

Know what?

HELEN:
Let's take a look
at the schedule.

DONNA:
Good idea. Lou?

LOU:
Okay, across the top,
days of the week,

down the side,
major battlegrounds states.

Blue S's for Santos,
green L's are Leo, red B's

for Bartlet.

The purple clovers
are to entertain me

when I'm waiting for
Josh to make up his mind.

DONNA:
Nice touch.
Thank you.

So, tomorrow, we are
in Scranton, Bethlehem,

Philadelphia, Cincinnati,

Dayton and Houston?

JOSH:
Last five days,
it's all about hustle.

We really need another stop
in Houston?

It's a turnout game, so yes.

Plus, it's a bridge to Friday,
when we cover Texas,

then on to
L.A. and Leno.

ANNABETH:
Leo thinks we need

to add a stop
in Florida.

Hello, sunshine.

He wants to add a stop?
Zogby's got us

down by two, and we're
not there till Saturday.

JOSH:
Congressman?
Yeah.

Sir?
Okay.

I could use some coffee?
No more coffee for you.

SANTOS:
Helps with the narcolepsy.

HELEN:
Doesn't help with the sleeping.

We're considering adding a stop
in Florida tomorrow.

We're down by two.

The whole state is dark
until Saturday.

Well, sure.
I mean, if you think...
I will do it.

No, honey,
you don't have to do it.
No, I will do it.

Actually, Zoey Bartlet will be
doing some women's events

outside Miami tomorrow, if
Mrs. Santos could join her...

Great. Okay, so,
you'll get her back

for the trick or
treating photo op

in Dayton?
ANNABETH:
No problem.

JOSH:
Okay. Good.
So, tomorrow,

Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas.

Friday, Texas,
then California.

Saturday, Sunday,

Monday, we hit the big five.

LOU:
Big five--
Pennsylvania, Ohio,

Florida, Texas and California.

Five states a day?

LOU:
Yes. We're going to play

time zone hopscotch,
we fly with the sun.

California's screwing up

our sleep cycle.
What sleep cycle?

Congressman?

Five days, huh?

Hey, you can hang by your thumbs
for five days.

There you have it, folks.

Signed, sealed, and delivered.

The last five days
of the Santos Campaign.

JOSH:
Did you see
the Illinois numbers?

TOBY:
You should do the crossword.

We're up three points.

People who regularly
do the crossword

are less likely
to experience mental decline.

I enjoy these calls,
I really do.

Miami-Dade, you need
to pay attention to...

Hang on.
HQ just E-mailed
the latest ads.

We got Vinick's...
Every ad he's
run all week.

I want to screen 'em
right away.

Have you checked out the
Pennsylvania numbers?

Yeah. Pennsylvania, Illinois,

California...

Miami-Dade voter registration.

You're a killjoy, you know that?

You're a doorstep darkener.

You darken doorsteps.

Yeah, you need to look into...

Hold please.
Vinick's remarks
in Ohio and Texas.

Sullivan's remarks
in Virginia.

JOSH:
You got the...

OTTO:
Yeah.

JOSH:
Good, and the...
the rundown on the...

Thanks. Sorry. Go ahead.

Miami-Dade.
You're down two in Florida!

Congressman Santos,
you're even in the polls.

How do you
like your chances?

It's pretty loud here.
It's kind of hard to hear.

Lot of people here
for an 8:00 a.m. rally.

I think we're doing all right.

TOBY:
You're down two
in Florida, Josh. If...

I'm on it.
For the love of God.

How many states are
you hitting today?
I think Josh Lyman

over there is shooting
for about 50.

Yeah, we're gonna try

to hit as many
states as we can.

You got another meeting today?

Yeah.

Let's make a deal?

Or not.

Let me know how it goes.

Yeah, thanks.

Okay, one more.

WOMAN:
Who do you like in the game
this weekend?

Philly and New York are
both strong teams.

Uh, should be a great game.
WOMAN:
Thanks, Congressman.

Yeah, thank you.
DONNA:
Thanks, guys.

We are in Pennsylvania,
are we?

Yeah. Harris Malbin,
Pennsylvania Party Chair.

Harris.

JOSH:
You've got Wallace from
headquarters on turnout,

Goodwin on legal contingencies.

There you go.

CIA briefer, former NSA
Nancy McNally on Kazakhstan.

How you doing?

Lot of people out there
for an 8:00 a.m. rally.

Let's try that again.
How are you doing?

I'm okay, except for the
thermometer stuck up my...

Okay. I'm just
checking in.
Congressman.

Oh. Jon.

Good to see you.
My pleasure, sir.

Lou mentioned all
the great work you've
been doing with Habitat.

It's really a privilege to
have you here with us today.

Well, thank you, sir.

It's a privilege to play
for the next President

of the United States.

( horns honking )

Hello, Toby.

Toby?

Yeah?

We really need to
prep before the...

What's a five letter word
for blowhard?
Toby.

That's four letters, counselor.

We really need to prep before
the U.S. Attorney gets here.

Yes, yes, no,
and I already knew.
Excuse me?

You wanted to prep,
those are the answers.

I know that because he's
asked me the same questions

five or six times now.

Okay, there's a
reason that the U.S....

Really, I should
just make a tape.

There's a reason

the U.S. Attorney keeps
asking us down here.

( knock at door )

JOSH:
No. I already got

Vinick's schedule.
I need Sullivan's.

MAN ( on TV ):
Arnold Vinick

is a seasoned leader
with wisdom, experience...

LOU:
A hearing aid

and a pair of bifocals.

And anything
that we can get on the status

of the troops in Astana,
okay? Thanks.

Yeah. Okay.
Thank you.

Hey, Teddy.
Hey.

Welcome to the circus.
Thank you, sir.

Did you get
to meet, uh, Bon Jovi?

LOU:
Bon Jovi's here?

Hey, Stevie Wonder opened
for us last night.

LOU:
I'm a Jersey
girl, Joshua.

Camaros, Muscle Ts, a little
Slippery When Wet.

That is an album
title, right?

Guys, can we, uh...?

JOSH:
Yeah. Teddy.
go ahead.

Sir, I wanted to take you

through the election day
turnout operation.

LOU:
I don't believe it.
What?

They stole our slogan.

MAN:
With Arnold Vinick,
Yes America Can.

OTTO:
Isn't that our slogan?

LOU:
Damn right it is.
Teddy?

OTTO:
You all right?
No.

JOSH:
Her back went out.
Right.

Give me Donna...
Donna!

I have seven copies
of Vinick's schedule.

You should just keep talking.

JOSH:
Can I get
Sullivan's schedule?

Okay. Um...

Election turnout?

Right. Well, we have, um,
10,000 volunteers.

It's the major
battleground cities...

LOU:
Hey, I need to make copies
of the first Vinick ad.

Oh, we're gonna nail him.

Latest polls
from AP and Reuters.

JOSH:
Okay. Thank you.

And an additional 5,000
in New York, Boston...

JOSH:
Hey, hold on. I need

the polling
detail for...

Teddy?
DONNA:
Otto!

Are we concerned
about the inner city?

JOSH:
We're fine.

Talk about the
Latino turnout.

We are a little concerned
about Latino turnout.

JOSH:
Yeah. I need the Colorado
polling detail.

Miami-Dade voter registration
numbers

only up two percent
in the last four years.

Miami-Dade's 60% Latino.

62.
Thank you.

So, do you think
Miami is indicative...?

JOSH:
Latino turnout
across the country.

Yes, we do.
Yes, sir, and given

how crucial Latino turnout is...

Yeah, I got it, I got it. So,

what are we gonna
do, you know,

to remind everyone
that I'm Latino?

Ineligible ex-cons in Florida.

LOU:
Did you see my phone?

It's in your...

SANTOS:
A lot of states

deny ex-cons

the right to vote.
I mean...
Oh!

JOSH:
Okay.
I'm sorry.

Maybe that's why
we don't run on the bus.

TEDDY:
Sir, we don't want

to push ex-con voting,
but a lot of these people

have already been cleared for
parole, and most of them just...

DONNA:
This is a mess.
That's helpful.

You know, he's got
the Times Tribunecall.
Yeah.

Do we think the Governor's
stacking the list?

TEDDY:
Well, the suggestion
he's trying to, um,

keep Latinos away
from the polls would--

Would set the fire
under the ass

of every cholo south
of Jacksonville sure,

but that's a hell
of an accusation

for me to be
throwing out there

five days out.
Not you.

LOU:
See these Colorado numbers?

JOSH:
Yeah. That's why I asked
Otto for the detail.

TEDDY:
Sir, there's a MANA rally

in Miami at noon.
You want to send
Helen out there?

She just has to mention it.

You know he's late for
the Times-Tribune thing.
We know!

Why can't we get Ruiz
or Hinajosa to give that speech?

TEDDY:
Sir, if we're going to do this,
we've got to do it with a bang.

My blond wife lecturing

the National Organization
of Latinas.

Yeah, that's a bang.

JOSH:
We can't get the media trucks

out there
if we don't have a headliner.

Okay. Thanks, Teddy.

Give me a couple seconds.

Ms. Waterman, Mr. Ziegler.

WATERMAN:
Mr. Blake.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Mr. Ziegler, I invited
you down here today...

You have a five-letter
word for "blow hard"?

WATERMAN:
Toby...

Just asking.
Mr. Ziegler.

As much as we both
enjoy these sessions,

I was hoping we could
keep this one brief.

Thank you.

Now, there's
a deal on the table,

and as much as I wouldn't mind
locking you up

for the next six years,

the information you
leaked was classified,

you were not
authorized to have it

and the public, a group you
should have some allegiance to,

has the right to know
where you got it.

You broke the law,
you didn't do it alone,

tell me where you got
your information,

we knock it down to a year.

With time off for good behavior.

I appreciate
your trying

to keep it brief, I'll keep it
briefer-- I'm not interested.

Didn't think you would be.

First five times I
said no tip you off?

They did, in fact, which is why
I'm adding a sweetener.

What is it?

It's a second indictment.

For what?

Obstruction of justice.

Mr. Ziegler tells me where
he got his information

or I call the grand jury
and have him

indicted for
obstruction of justice.

Tomorrow.

( Toby chuckles )

You're adding another indictment

four days
before a presidential election?

Not only will I
indict you again,

but I'm going to subpoena
C.J. Cregg, Leo McGarry

and President Bartlet.
It'll look like
a cover up.

Like he's covering up for
someone in the White House.

He hasn't given me any
reason to believe he's not.

You're gonna sabotage
a national election over this?

No. You are.

Oh, and, uh, by the way,
it's storm.

Excuse me?

Five letters for "blow hard."
Storm.

Pretty sure that's the word
you're looking for.

( Santos answering questions)

DONNA:
Uh-huh.

Yeah, sure, but...

LOU:
It's our slogan!

Yes, but,
well, tights?
We used it
two months ago.

It's not exactly
Presidential.

I don't care if
it's a coincidence.

Okay, I'll see
what I can do.

Oh, come on, there's
a story here.

Hello? Hello?

Hey, how you feeling?

Terrible-- they just
hung up on me.

AP?
Reuters.

Snotty.
Little bit.

How's it going
with the Times?

I just got off the phone with
Stu from The Tonight Show.

Comedy writer?
He thinks so.

Incidentally, you don't
think the Congressman

would want to wear tights
on national TV, do you?

Tights.
They want him to
dress like Robin Hood

for a sketch.
Why not Zorro?

I'll call the Times.

Let me know
if they bite.

Have you see Jon?

Jon?
Bon Jovi.

60,000 people in Bethlehem

and the Congressman just
wanted to say thank you.

I think I saw him
in the press van.

Great.

Jack, it's Lou.
Got a story for you.

And how do you
think you're doing?

I think the people
who are listening

know that we have fresh ideas
and a new approach.

One more question.

Do you plan on watching
the game this weekend?

Philly and New York,
they're both strong teams.

I'm looking forward to it.

Thank you,
Congressman.
Thank you all.

Thank you. Thank you.

Do you have my wife?

She's on the phone
with Josh.

Congresswomen Lea Stein.

Lea. How are you?

Barry, thanks
so much for coming.

If you could just
give me a minute.

No problem,
Congressman.
Thank you.

JOSH:
Yeah. Yeah, of course, ma'am.

Actually, he's right here.

She's pretty riled up.

Wonder why. Hey.

The National Organization
of Latinas?

You got those
numbers for me?
Yes, I do.

He does remember I'm white.

He does now.

Whiter than white.
White Album white.

Believe me, this wasn't...
White Devil,

White Dahlia,
the white White Witch

who lured a big, gorgeous,
Latino man away from...

Honey, if you're not
comfortable doing this...

No, I'll go, but I'm not
going to give a speech.

I'll do the intro,

let Hinajosa talk about
the ex-convict lists.

Okay. Zogby's got us down
by four in Colorado?
Yeah.

And only because
it's a good cause.

On behalf of big, gorgeous
Latino men everywhere...

I'm talking about
the five million

ex-convicts who can't vote
in this country.

Right.
My mother's flying the kids up

at 4:00, make sure they don't

eat too much Halloween candy
before I get there, please.

Yeah.

She'll headline.

She wants Hinajosa
to do the speech.

What is happening in Colorado?

Sullivan parachuted in
last week,

he seemed to have
an impact.
You think?

Donna's looking for some
surrogates to send in.

Berryhill's sick,
the A.G.'s a no.

Any takers
on the slogan story?

Lou struck out on
Reuters and the Post.

Times?
CIA briefer' s here.

So who are we
sending to Colorado?

JOSH:
We need Leo in Michigan
and Illinois,

Bartlet's never
been popular out there.

The Vice President?

DONNA:
Plays well
in the Rockies.

Russell's stumping
Michigan today.

SANTOS:
All right, see if we can
get him on the phone.

You want to send
the briefer back,

or should I sit
with Goodwin first?

Actually, we should
get him on the chat.
The chat?

Atrios just flew in.
Atrios?

You have a live chat
on Eschaton.
Really?

I speak three
languages but...
It's a blog.

We're gonna bump the CIA

and Barry Goodwin
for a guy named Atrios.

He's raised 300 grand online.

He has almost as many readers
as the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Atrios!

Welcome to the campaign.

There's more than enough here
to convince a grand jury.

There's no way he's
gonna go through with it.

Toby, you...

This is absolute
partisan garbage,

total political bull...

It's got nothing
to do with politics.

The guy's
a Bartlet appointee.

Plenty of moderate Democrats
in love with Arnold Vinick.

It's his responsibility
to uncover the truth.

Be that as it may,
he's bluffing.

Maybe.

There's no way he's gonna
throw a national election.

( sighs )

What?

Look, Toby...
if you're trying to protect

your brother, then...

Damn it, Toby,
he indicts you tomorrow,

you know that a McGarry subpoena

is gonna all but guarantee
a Vinick landslide

on Tuesday.

He's not gonna do it.

Are you really prepared
to take that chance?

( sirens wailing )

LOU:
Yes, I get it.

I need the Rasmussen poll.
Yes, I need to talk to Edie.

BON JOVI:
Is that the latest polling?

Oh, yeah.

How's it looking?

Good...
Pretty good.

Lou, I've got Edie.

Okay, could you tell her I'll
call back, please? Thank you.

Cool. Illinois.
Yeah, it is.

And you know what else
is cool? Your new album.

Fantastic,
and the work you've

been doing in Philly
is so...

( overlapping conversations )

Uh, you said there was

a story
on Drudge?
Huh?

Excuse me, I have
to make a phone call.

Sure. No problem.
Living on a prayer.

Aren't you supposed
to be on the phone?

Yeah, I'm holding for
the Vice President.

What's on Drudge?
The latest
Rasmussen poll.

That poll is skewed.
It's got us up
by four in Ohio.

"Ohio trends
Santos!"

That's the story of the day!
You want to call...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.

I've got Annabeth.
Tell her I'll call her back.

I'm holding for
the Vice President.

You got that? All right.

Lou, you still pushing
a slogan story?
It's dead.

Okay.
Why?

Vinick's "Yes America Can"
bus tour?

The buses were made
in Canada.

You're a very
attractive young man.

You want me
to call the...
I got it.

Howard, I got two
good stories for you.

I've got Annabeth.
Tell her I...

Yeah, hi there.

...they can gain some
ground in the west...

Yeah, he can call back.

That's unbelievable.

Russell ditch
you again?

The only guy in America
that I can't get on the phone.

You want me
to try?

JOSH:
Sullivan's back
in Colorado?

Someone pull
Sullivan's new schedule

off the web.
I'll get it.

But perhaps the most surprising

development of the day
came an hour ago in Miami.

I am calling again
for the Vice President.

Mrs. Santos,
do you have any comment

on Mayor Hinajosa's assertions

about the treatment of Hispanics
on the ex-con voting rolls?

I think it's a real concern.
Some democratic activists

have argued that laws
against felon voting

should be abolished altogether.

Would you agree?
Say no.

Say no.

It's the largest block

of disenfranchised voters
in the country.

Yeah, I think it's something
we should take a look at.

Yeah, I need to call him back.
Can I call you back?

( phone dialing )

( ringing )

WOMAN:
Hello?

Hello?

Hi.

Toby?

Yeah.

Are you okay?

Mm-hmm.

Are you still
coming over tonight?

Yeah.
5:00, right?

Sure.

You know, I thought maybe
I'd come over now.

Now?

Help the kids
get into their costumes.

The kids are at preschool
till 2:00.

Right.

Toby?

Yeah.

You're sitting outside my house.

Yeah.

Can I come in?

Uh, Toby, I have a lunch
and two campaign events...

I could tag along.

Though probably not the message

you want to send
to your constituents, huh?

Uh, why don't you come over
at 5:00 like we planned?

Okay.

Vinick's tax plan has so many
exceptions and loop holes...

Tell them I wouldn't be
a proponent of any tax plan

that couldn't be figured out
on an Excel spreadsheet.

I'm happy to type
those answers myself.

I'm gonna have
to pull the Congressman.

Not much of a people person.

Almost as many readers
as the Philadelphia...

I got it.

Sullivan's in Colorado again?

The V.P. should
neutralize him.

Is he gonna do it?
Yeah, we're playing phone tag.

LOU:
Ohio's trending Santos.

Rasmussen poll?

Story of the day.

Okay.

Am I gonna
get to do

my, uh, CIA briefing

on stability ops
in Kazakhstan?

Yeah.
What?

Your wife just made a statement

that makes it sound
like she's for felon voting.

LOU:
In a universal suffrage,
"Free Capone" kind of way.

That's not gonna play so well

with the law and order
moderates in the West.

Not really, no.

I'm gonna have to take
a position on this.

DONNA:
The Governor's
teeing us up outside

and we need to get in
a quick photo op

with the DNC
finance guys.

What is the schedule
after the rally?

Interview with...

the Inquirer, sit downs
with Goodwin, Nancy McNally...

Plus...
the Kazakhstan briefing.

LOU:
And the Cincinnati
event at 3:00.

We're already behind.

You want to
bump McNally?
No, no.

See if Goodwin and McNally
can come to Ohio.

We'll talk about the rest
of this on the plane,

and then talk legal and
Cincinnati in Kazakhstan.

He meant...
Yeah, I'm gonna

get him some more coffee.

Hi.

Hi.
( camera shutters clicking )

Thanks for, guys,
for all of your efforts.

JARIN:
Our pleasure,
Mr. President.

You know I've
taken pictures

with three
other Commander in Chiefs.

SANTOS:
I think that's

Commanders in Chief.

Oh, uh, how about "leaders
of the free world" then?

Cart before the horse,
my friend.

Oh, no, I know how
to pick the winners.

We'll be back for a
photo in the Oval
before you know it.

( weak chuckle )
( camera shutters clicking )

REPORTER ( on TV):
Congressman Santos!

Do you believe ex-convicts
should have the right to vote?

( reporters shouting questions
on TV )

SANTOS:
You know, I had a couple more
questions for that CIA briefer

about the troops
that are stationed at the...

Yeah, we lost that
guy at the rally.

Probably not a field operative.

Congresswoman Cone,
8th District.

Hi. How are you?
Congresswoman.

Good to see you again.

Can we make sure that
someone is in Ohio?

Yes. Yes, sir,
I'll have Lou put in a call.

Thank you so much again
for your support.

OTTO:
You wanted to look over

the foreign policy portion
of the stump?
Yeah.

Hey, we hear anything
from Russell's office?

No, but I've got Leno
on the phone.

DONNA:
Is it Stu?
Stu?

He's one of the writers.

OTTO:
It's not Stu.

DONNA:
Ho, uh, uh, Mr. Leno.

JOSH:
Yes, this is Josh Lyman
here, uh--

Yes, I will hold.

LOU:
New numbers from Michigan,
we're holding at five up.

DONNA:
Right, I-I just think

that the Congressman
doesn't want to wear
tights on the...

JOSH:
Maybe we should pull Leo,
send him south.

LOU:
Can you conference me

into the McGarry
advance detail, please.

That is, the campaign
doesn't think

that it's appropriate
at this time.

Who are you holding for?

JOSH:
I'm holding
for the Vice President.

Getting a little existential
in here.
JOSH:
Yeah, hello?

Hi. Yeah,
we're waiting for him...

I'm gonna have to take a pen

to this whole Israel section
before the weekend.

So I want you to set up
a conference call with...
It's Josh Lyman.

uh, uh...
You want me
to spell that?

Harold Waller
Yes.

for later on tonight.
Yes, sir.

Hey, we getting any traction
on that bus story?

The Eschaton blog
picked it up.

LOU:
Ooh, your new pal Atrios
is giving us the love.

What's the bus story?

Vinick did the "Yes America Can"
tour on Canadian buses.

Anybody check
where our buses are made?

Otto.

REPORTER ( on TV ):
Senator, do you believe

ex-convicts should have
the right to vote?

VINICK:
I don't know why people
who break the laws

should have a say
in making them.

JOSH:
Surprise, surprise.

It's not all wine and roses
for him either.

He's losing any footing
he might have gained

in the black community.
While locking up his base.

DONNA:
Congressman, we
need you out here

to take another photo
with the Senator.

I took a photo with him
on the tarmac.

The Congresswoman
got one on the plane.

GOODWIN:
You want to make sure
the press gets off this

before the weekend,

you should make a statement
in Ohio.

These are Jim Crow laws
that should have been

thrown out with the poll tax.

I am not for giving the vote
to every ax murderer

who gets out of prison,

but for the ones
who are nonviolent...

I'll have Otto
work on some language.

WALLACE:
29 states deny ex-cons
the right to vote.

We're going to take
a little hit.

I'd be most concerned

about the moderate Dems
in Texas and the West.

We're going to be in Texas
every day until the election.

But Arizona, Colorado...

Yeah.

You try calling
the Vice President?

( doorbell rings )

Hey.

Hey.

No costume?

Well, I thought about coming
as Julius Rosenberg.

Hi, Daddy.

Hi, Molly.

I'm a baseball player.

I can see that.

She's an Oriole.

ANDY:
Yeah.

What happened to all
the Yankees stuff I bought?

She likes the little bird.

HUCK:
Hi, Daddy!

TOBY:
Hi, Huck.

Come here. Whoa.

Look at you.

He likes what
she likes.

You guys going
trick-or-treating?

Are we going
trick-or-treating?

So do you want to
take them first?

No, you go ahead.

Sorry, but if
there's press...
Yeah.

Okay, what are
we going to say?

"Trick or treat."

Come on. Stay close
to Mommy, okay? Huck?

SANTOS ( on TV ):
While I know this is primarily
a matter of state law,

I think it's both imprudent
and unreasonable

for us to deny a political voice

to people who have made
an effort

to rehabilitate themselves.

Congressman Santos, would you
let all criminals vote?

No, but once nonviolent
offenders have done their time,

I think we should do
everything we can

to help facilitate a full
and healthy return to society.

Okay, we need
to wrap it up.

REPORTER:
Who do you like in
the game this weekend?

Uh, Philly and New York
both strong teams,

should be a great game.
Thank you.

We're in Ohio.

Go, Buckeyes.

( gentle melody playing )

Play it again, play it again.

All right.

( gentle melody playing )

We gonna need to do follow up?

Ten minutes with the
Times and the Post.

And Leo's on the same page?

He's giving a statement
in Minneapolis.

The Fairy Queen is on my bus.

( stops playing )
Hi, Daddy.

( kisses )
Hi.

What a beautiful dress.
It's itchy.

Yeah?
PETER:
Hey, Dad.

Ice cream before dinner.

Greater's-- it's a
Cincinnati delicacy.

DONNA:
Made for a great photo op.

Where's their grandmother?

I saw her chatting
with Ben Affleck.

LOU:
There's candy in
the press van

if you want to get a head start
on trick-or-treating.

SANTOS:
No...

Whoa.

You know what? I'll keep
an eye on them for you.

Thanks, Jon.

He's fantastic.

An international rock star
looking after my kids.

Yeah, it's like
a dream come true.

Oh, do you want me to...

I got McNally
on Kazakhstan?

Goodwin on the legal
contingencies.
And then McNally?

DONNA:
Probably the Times.

OTTO:
I've got Leo on the phone.

JOSH:
Yeah, uh,
we were hoping to discuss

sending him down south.

And WKRC's been holding
for half an hour.

JOSH:
We'll try to squeeze McNally in
after the trick-or-treating.

Let's uh, push the Waller call.

And can somebody
find Helen's mother

and ask her to, I don't know,
keep an eye on the kids?

How'd we do?

Couple of Mars bars.

Bit-O-Honey?

Mm, that'll do.

So the witch thing works.

Yeah?
Uh-huh.

I mean, not as well as

the Catholic schoolgirl thing,
but yeah.

( chuckling )

I had a meeting today.

Okay.

U.S. Attorney's Office

is threatening another
indictment, tomorrow.

Obstruction of justice.

Which may very well
screw every Democrat

in the country
running for office,

not to mention
the Santos campaign.

( sets glass on table )

What the hell is the matter
with you?

Just tell them
it was your brother.

Okay. ( chuckles )

David's dead,
and even if he were alive,

he'd tell you...
What if it wasn't David.

( sighs heavily )

Only you.
What?

A Republican hasn't won
the Maryland 8th in 40 years,

I'm running neck and neck,

my campaign manager
wants to make

"That's why I divorced him"
buttons.

Just tell the U.S. Attorney

it was David
and this will all be over.

It's what he would've
wanted you to...

Don't tell me what my brother
would have wanted.

He did nothing wrong,

and I will not consider
for one second

defaming his reputation
over something

he had absolutely
nothing to do with.

Is that what you're going
to tell the kids?

( sighs )

Hey, Josh.
Yeah.

When you get a sec,

I'd love to pitch you
some ideas on service.

You know, volunteerism
on the national level.

We've been really working hard
to try to make it hip again.

OTTO:
Volunteerism is
the new black.

Right. Actually,
that's our slogan.

Yeah, I saw it on Oprah.

Great. You see, I'd
really like to come down

to DC, maybe during
the transition.

We'll set something up.

Thanks.

Sure, Jon.
Yeah.

Was there something...?

Um, Oregon early
voting returns,

and I pushed the
Waller call to 9:00.

What's the Waller call?

He wants to revisit
the foreign policy stuff

in the stump, he wants
Hal Waller to weigh in

on the Israel section.

Yeah, that's not
going to happen.

The Congressman
was pretty adamant.

Cancel it.

You got it?

( sighs ):
We're late.

Annabeth said
they'd be here any minute.

Yeah.

The Congressman seems
a little irritated.

He's sleep deprived
like the rest of us.
Sure.

Bartlet put his fist
through a couple walls

last week of
the first campaign.

Where are we on Leno?

Oh, they've got this whole
Robin Hood Halloween skit

they want to do.

Robin Hood?

Santos starts talking about
closing off tax loopholes

for the rich, Leno asks
what he was for Halloween,

they cut to prerecorded bit
of the Congressman

trick-or-treating in
a Robin Hood costume.

I was thinking maybe
without the tights.

Tights?

My husband in tights?

Mrs. Santos.

Might lock up
the women's vote.

You've never
seen his legs.

We're late,
if we could...

Yeah. Where are my kids?

DONNA:
Oh, they're in
the press van.

They're getting a little head
start on trick-or-treating.

Oh, that's great.

Mrs. Santos.
Mrs. Santos.

Probably not the best place
for me right now, huh?

Well, if someone else
wouldn't mind checking

to make sure my kids
are not falling into
a diabetic coma...

I'm on it.

Great. Thank you.

Sweet Lord in heaven.

Yeah, about the, um,
Robin Hood sketch?

He's already showing
the felons the love,

we don't need him
to dress up like one.

So how should I
handle Leno?

Come up with
something funnier.

( Toby humming softly )

( quietly ):
Down you go.

Trust me, you'll be happier.

ANDY:
Toby.

Yeah.

( siren wailing )

SANTOS:
One out of every eight African
American men unable to vote

is clearly an issue.

Thanks.

Oh, absolutely.

Excuse me?

No, we've had a lot of people
out for the rallies.

I think we're doing all right.

600 lawyers
in Florida.

Hm. Leo wanted
to double it.

1,200 lawyers? There's gotta be
a joke there somewhere.

Some of this
is routine.

Machines don't work,
folks are turned away.

We'll want lawyers in place
to keep the polls open.

That why we've got
the legal briefs?

No, we drafted
those in case

we need to contest
the battlegrounds.

( sighs ):
Right.

Look, we'd rather
things go smoothly

on election day,

which is why we've
mobilized 10,000 lawyers.

But the polls in
Florida and Ohio,

they're really
pretty close.

We need to be prepared
for a court battle.

OTTO:
Congressman,
we're pulling into Dayton.

Dayton. Thanks.

You ever get nostalgic
for the good old days, Barry,

when there was just
a winner and a loser?

( chuckles ):
Talk to my
Republican friends

in Chicago.

The good old days
weren't really.

ANNABETH:
How about a top ten list?

DONNA:
That's Letterman.

He's funny.

Yeah.

What are you guys doing?

We're trying to come up
with a bit

for the Congressman
to do on Leno,

preferably something
that doesn't

involve a costume.

Does he play an instrument?
Hey, that's not

a bad idea. He could
have a jam with the band.

DONNA:
Hi, Congressman.

Do you play a
musical instrument?

Clarinet.

Yeah.

That's not gonna work.

Don't get into it with the kids
in the Vinick masks.

Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, I've been holding for the
Vice President for half an hour.

Can you please...
Give me that.

Sir, you need to...
It's okay.

Hi. Yeah, this is
Matthew Santos.

Could you poss...

( chuckles )

Turn on CNN. I'll wave.

Yeah.

Oh, I appreciate your support.

Now, you think you can possibly
find the Vice President?

Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

Oh, no. I'm going to wait.

Happy Halloween.

Sorry to drag you
away from your kids.

As long as you're willing
to explain it to my wife.

( clears throat )

You did drag me down
here for a reason.

You're a pretty
ambitious guy, huh?

What are you, 38, 39?

Peter Blake,

U.S. Attorney for the
District of Columbia.

What's next?

Congress? The Senate?

A seat on the federal bench?

What happens when you sit down
with the DNC Chair in two years?

You got to be kidding me.

A congressional race in
Virginia, you want to

throw your hat in,
I'm just wondering

what Mr. Chairman's gonna be
thinking about?

You came here to lecture me.

Your Rhodes scholarship?

Your performance on law review?

I'm going to the grand jury
in the morning.

No, you're not.

You're not going to do this.

It's wrong,

and it's irresponsible.

Irresponsible?

How about Chief of Staff
of the United States

sharing classified
defense department information

with an unauthorized...

That's not what happened.
I have a deposition

from Oliver Babish
that says exactly that.

She asked me
a hypothetical question.

You discussed
the existence

of a secret military shuttle
with C.J. Cregg.

You didn't have clearance,
and she did.

Now, it doesn't take
a rocket scientist

to figure out
what happened.

Please tell me

I didn't leave
a crying six-year-old

in a Dorothy costume for this.

JOSH:
Just keep them
trick-or-treating.

LOU:
We need to hold
the Houston crowd.

In about an hour,
hour and a half.
Half hour, tops.

Yes, both kids.
He was mayor of the city.

We need more than five guys
and a homemade banner.

You know, advance
promised us 30,000 people.

Sure, 8:00.

I'll call you back.
Can I call you back?

LOU:
Thank you.

Five days out, and I'm
wasting time with Bob Russell.

Is he on board?

Gives me some song and dance

about all the other candidates
he's stumping for.

He said no?

No, he didn't say no;
he can't say no.

So we're going
to need surrogates

to take his place in Ohio.

Say, am I going to get
any time with McNally

before this day is over?

Soon as we get back
on the bus.

Oh, yeah? And then what?

I get the 15 minutes
between here and the airport

to figure out
the impact of Kazakhstan

on our long-term foreign policy.

Yeah, you get me
Edie, please?
More or less.

Try to make
it look like

you're enjoying your
time with the children.

You sure?

Hey.

Sweetheart.

Sorry I'm late.

How are the spoils?

Whoa, that's a lot
of candy there.

My stomach hurts.

Okay, why don't you
let me carry that?

MIRANDA:
Can we go now?

Just one more house,
honey, okay?

Come on.

Here we go.

What'd you guys do,
raid the candy store?

Well, between the press

and the 63 houses
we've just been at...

I'm sorry.

Who thought ice cream
was a good idea?

Well, you know,
it's been a bit of a day.

Right here?

Made a factual statement.

It's not like I was
banging on a drum.

Helen, come on,
it wasn't your fault.

Annabeth shouldn't have left you
out there on your own.

( chuckles )

Now that we got
that cleared up...

( doorbell rings )

I said it wasn't your fault.

If you were so concerned
about me opening my big mouth,

then maybe
you shouldn't have sent me

to the damn event
in the first place.

Well, what do we have here?

( Peter vomits )

Oh, my.

This is perfect.

BLAKE:
Come on, C.J.'s got a problem,

the President's not doing
what she wants him to do,

she does what she's done
a thousand times before,

she talks to you.

Maybe she thinks
you have clearance,

maybe she knows you don't,

maybe she has no idea
that you're gonna leak it,

but you do, and she's screwed,
and it's your fault,

so you fall
on the grenade.

It wasn't C.J.

Okay, what about Leo?

It wasn't Leo.

Toby...

there was someone else.

You weren't authorized

to have that
information.

All right.

I assume we're done here.

"A citizen's safety
lies in the prosecutor

who approaches his task
with humility."

Justice Robert Jackson.

"Your position is

"of such independence
and importance

"that while being
diligent, strict

and vigorous in law enforcement,

you can also
afford to be just."

It's my responsibility
to find out who helped you!

That's my job!

You can indict me.

You can threaten to put me
in federal prison for six years.

You can subpoena the President,
subpoena Leo McGarry,

subpoena C.J. Cregg.

You can undermine
a presidential election.

And it won't change anything.

I'm still not going
to change my story!

And that's it?

Yeah, that's it.

I've dedicated my life to this
country, to public service.

And regardless of our different
interpretations of the role

of the federal prosecutor
in our legal system,

I don't think derailing
a presidential election

is part of your job description.

And I don't think
you believe it is either.

DONNA:
Okay, Leno puts
on a Vinick mask,

steals a bag of Halloween candy,
then the Congressman comes in

wearing a police uniform
and arrests him.

Not funny at all, huh?

Maybe we should
go back to the clarinet.

Damn it, we're not gonna
make it to Houston till 10:00.

You want to
cancel the rally?

Think we can get another shot at
the trick-or-treating photo op?

We're nowhere on Leno.

Annabeth have any ideas?

Annabeth likes the tights.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

It's okay, buddy.

We'll be home
in just a few hours.

Here, let me take him.

No, I got him, hon.

It's okay. Please.

Come on, honey, come sit.

Can I maybe
get some coffee?

Where's McNally?

Sir?

Nancy McNally, former NSA.

We were just starting to get
into the whole ramifications

of long-term troop deployment
in Kazakhstan.

Right. She had an
early meeting in D.C.

She left?

Nancy McNally left.

Uh, yes, sir, she had a
last minute meeting...

Yeah, can we get her
on the phone?

Sure.

Sir, there's an issue

with The Tonight Show.

The Tonight Show.

DONNA:
Leno's got this idea

for a sketch; it involves
a Robin Hood costume.

We're not that wild

about the costume or...

I need to get McNally
on the phone.

I've got a conference call
with Hal Waller at 9:00.

You really think
this is the best use of my time?

It's all right,
I canceled the Waller call.

Excuse me?

The Waller call.

I canceled it.

We've already pushed through
the foreign policy section

of the stump.

A half-hour conference
call on the Mid East...

We're going to wind up
with 150,000 men in Kazakhstan.

We're going to have to pull
at least 10,000 soldiers

out of Israel.

That is going to change
our entire

Mid East peacekeeping timetable.

Which is why Otto and
the speechwriting team are...

We're looking at three
to four years in Central Asia!

That is an entire presidency!

Otto and
the speechwriting team

have barely
scratched the surface.

HELEN:
You want me to...

No.

No, I got it.

We need to start
addressing the real issues,

stop wasting time
on beauty pageant ephemera.

Congressman, you
know as well as I do

that right now,
what you say on Leno

and how your family looks
trick-or-treating

are a hell of a lot
more important...

Damn it, Josh,
we need to focus...
We are.

You like Goodwin and McNally?

Well, it's not like I had

a whole hell of a lot of time
with McNally.

Berryhill had five minutes
eight years ago.

You like her?

Yeah, I do.

And Goodwin?

Great.

We got an Attorney General
and a Secretary of State.

That's not bad
for a three-state,

six-market day.

Now we're gonna have

this conversation about Leno,
then you're gonna talk to Nancy,

then you're gonna make
up with your wife,

so we have a relatively happy
couple for the rally in Houston.

Congressman?

Yeah.

Good.

Josh...

Yeah?

You think we're going to win?

I do.
