Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,893 --> 00:00:07,882
Previously:
2
00:00:08,133 --> 00:00:10,601
l accidentally slept
with a prostitute.
3
00:00:10,853 --> 00:00:11,888
Call girl.
4
00:00:12,093 --> 00:00:13,287
-Accidentally?
-Yes.
5
00:00:13,733 --> 00:00:15,325
Did you trip?
6
00:00:15,533 --> 00:00:17,091
You're gonna try and reform her.
7
00:00:17,333 --> 00:00:20,450
The president
would like to keep you on.
8
00:00:20,693 --> 00:00:22,524
-New media consultant?
-Absolutely.
9
00:00:22,773 --> 00:00:23,922
-Not Mandy.
-Who?
10
00:00:24,173 --> 00:00:25,492
Mandy.
11
00:00:25,693 --> 00:00:26,682
What?
12
00:00:27,293 --> 00:00:31,650
An Air Force transport
carrying Morris exploded in midair.
13
00:00:31,893 --> 00:00:34,691
The order came through
Syrian defense.
14
00:00:34,933 --> 00:00:38,403
l'll blow them away
with the fury of God's thunder.
15
00:00:56,293 --> 00:00:58,249
C.J.'s looking for you.
16
00:00:58,493 --> 00:01:02,372
-''Good morning'' is a good way to start.
-Good morning.
17
00:01:02,573 --> 00:01:05,849
-C.J.'s looking for you.
-Tell her l'm here.
18
00:01:06,093 --> 00:01:08,288
C.J. is looking for you.
19
00:01:08,533 --> 00:01:10,842
-What did l do?
-How would l know?
20
00:01:11,093 --> 00:01:12,924
-You know everything.
-l do.
21
00:01:13,173 --> 00:01:16,131
When l want to make
a substantive contribution--
22
00:01:16,373 --> 00:01:18,125
You make plenty of them.
23
00:01:18,373 --> 00:01:21,251
-Like what?
-This could be one.
24
00:01:21,493 --> 00:01:23,404
-l need a raise.
-So do l.
25
00:01:23,653 --> 00:01:26,008
-You're my boss.
-l don't pay you.
26
00:01:26,213 --> 00:01:29,046
-You can recommend it.
-She's looking for me.
27
00:01:29,293 --> 00:01:34,208
-You think it's a good time to talk?
-l think it's the best time.
28
00:01:34,413 --> 00:01:37,689
-You're not a nice person.
-Gotta get to know me.
29
00:01:37,893 --> 00:01:42,683
The best l can gather from what
l've overheard in the restroom. . .
30
00:01:42,893 --> 00:01:45,248
. . .and at the Danish cart--
31
00:01:45,493 --> 00:01:48,087
ls it possible there's a situation. . .
32
00:01:48,333 --> 00:01:52,451
. . .involving Sam, a woman
and C.J. being denied information?
33
00:01:52,693 --> 00:01:54,206
Here's what l'll do.
34
00:01:54,413 --> 00:01:57,211
-Hide in your office?
-No, l'm not hiding.
35
00:01:57,413 --> 00:02:01,725
l'll go into my office and devise
a strategy. That's what l do.
36
00:02:01,973 --> 00:02:05,522
-l'm a professional, not a child.
-That's the spirit.
37
00:02:05,773 --> 00:02:09,482
-lf she calls, l'm at the dentist.
-Got it.
38
00:02:12,893 --> 00:02:15,646
Wow, are you stupid!
39
00:03:01,933 --> 00:03:03,685
You can't be mad at me.
40
00:03:03,933 --> 00:03:07,084
Let's see if l can find it in me.
41
00:03:07,333 --> 00:03:09,688
-She was here?
-Excuse us, Donna.
42
00:03:09,893 --> 00:03:12,885
-l missed that?
-Kiss that raise goodbye.
43
00:03:13,133 --> 00:03:15,806
-Senior staff in five minutes.
-Thanks.
44
00:03:16,773 --> 00:03:18,445
A call girl?
45
00:03:18,693 --> 00:03:20,649
A call girl, Josh?
46
00:03:20,893 --> 00:03:25,045
-Are you asking if l'd like one?
-Do you know how serious it is?
47
00:03:25,293 --> 00:03:26,806
l don't think it is.
48
00:03:27,013 --> 00:03:29,925
-Why not?
-A couple of things to remember:
49
00:03:30,173 --> 00:03:32,209
He didn't know she was one.
50
00:03:32,413 --> 00:03:35,325
He didn't pay her,
participate in, know of. . .
51
00:03:35,573 --> 00:03:40,408
. . .or witness anything illegal,
unethical, immoral or suspect.
52
00:03:40,613 --> 00:03:45,323
A couple things for you.
None of that matters on Hard Copy!
53
00:03:45,573 --> 00:03:49,122
-You're overreacting.
-Am l? As women are prone to do?
54
00:03:49,373 --> 00:03:52,012
-That's not what l meant.
-lt always is.
55
00:03:52,213 --> 00:03:55,808
l think l'm the best judge
of what l mean. . .
56
00:03:56,013 --> 00:03:59,005
. . .you paranoid Berkeley
shiksa feminista.
57
00:03:59,613 --> 00:04:02,810
-That was way too far.
-No.
58
00:04:03,053 --> 00:04:05,487
l've got a meeting and so do you. . .
59
00:04:05,733 --> 00:04:07,610
. . .you elitist Harvard fascist. . .
60
00:04:07,813 --> 00:04:11,283
. . .missed-the-Dean's-List-
two-semesters-in-a-row. . .
61
00:04:11,533 --> 00:04:13,603
. . .Yankee jackass!
62
00:04:13,853 --> 00:04:18,210
-Feel better with that off your chest?
-l'm a new woman.
63
00:04:19,253 --> 00:04:21,687
-You look great.
-Don't try to make up.
64
00:04:21,933 --> 00:04:24,003
-l'll talk to Sam.
-l will.
65
00:04:24,253 --> 00:04:27,643
-Toby, how was last night?
-Longest dinner of my life.
66
00:04:27,893 --> 00:04:31,488
The president was yelling
at Cashman and Berryhill. . .
67
00:04:31,733 --> 00:04:35,408
. . .and at the secretary of state,
scaring Fitzwallace. . .
68
00:04:35,613 --> 00:04:40,004
. . .snapping at the first lady,
talking about blowing up Africa--
69
00:04:40,213 --> 00:04:43,250
Might be a good time
to tell him about Sam.
70
00:04:43,493 --> 00:04:47,884
-She knows?
-l do. l'll be in to see you shortly.
71
00:04:48,093 --> 00:04:51,403
-How did l get into trouble?
-You got out of bed.
72
00:04:51,613 --> 00:04:54,650
lt's been three days.
This is amateur hour.
73
00:04:54,893 --> 00:04:58,806
Cashman and Berryhill have to revise
the response scenario--
74
00:04:59,013 --> 00:05:02,801
They're dragging their feet
to make me look like a clown.
75
00:05:03,013 --> 00:05:06,608
And state should be concerned
with what l tell them to be.
76
00:05:06,853 --> 00:05:09,811
-Doesn't work like that.
-l've discovered.
77
00:05:10,013 --> 00:05:13,244
The chiefs are moving
as swiftly as they can. . .
78
00:05:13,453 --> 00:05:16,251
. . .even though, frankly,
time isn't a factor.
79
00:05:16,493 --> 00:05:21,408
And Cashman and Berryhill have a point
with respect to the Security Council.
80
00:05:21,613 --> 00:05:24,366
Mrs. Landingham, l can't
find my glasses.
81
00:05:24,573 --> 00:05:27,406
Please do what you do
when l can't find them.
82
00:05:27,613 --> 00:05:31,765
lt's been 72 hours since they
blew him out of the sky.
83
00:05:31,973 --> 00:05:35,807
l'm tired of waiting.
We'll draw up a response today.
84
00:05:36,013 --> 00:05:39,608
l'll give the order today.
We'll strike back today.
85
00:05:39,813 --> 00:05:42,532
l wish you wouldn't say ''him. ''
86
00:05:42,733 --> 00:05:43,722
What?
87
00:05:43,973 --> 00:05:46,407
''They blew 'him' out of the sky''?
88
00:05:46,613 --> 00:05:50,447
lt's fine when it's just us,
but in there with the chiefs. . .
89
00:05:50,653 --> 00:05:52,644
. . .say ''it'' or ''the airplane. ''
90
00:05:52,893 --> 00:05:55,612
You think l'm taking this personally?
91
00:05:55,813 --> 00:05:57,246
Why shouldn't l?
92
00:05:57,493 --> 00:06:01,964
-Since Morris was on the plane--
-Americans were on that plane!
93
00:06:02,173 --> 00:06:05,802
l met Morris four or five times.
He wasn't my son.
94
00:06:06,013 --> 00:06:07,605
We need to talk about--
95
00:06:07,853 --> 00:06:09,411
l can't find my glasses!
96
00:06:09,653 --> 00:06:11,211
-We're on it.
-Thank you.
97
00:06:11,453 --> 00:06:14,365
-The director's waiting.
-Let's have him.
98
00:06:14,653 --> 00:06:17,963
-What did you want to say?
-Nothing. l got staff.
99
00:06:18,173 --> 00:06:20,323
-See you in an hour.
-Thank you.
100
00:06:24,053 --> 00:06:25,406
Good morning.
101
00:06:25,653 --> 00:06:29,123
-How's his mood?
-His mood? Don't worry about it.
102
00:06:29,373 --> 00:06:32,206
-Toby said--
-l said don't worry.
103
00:06:32,413 --> 00:06:33,402
Sam, what do you know?
104
00:06:33,653 --> 00:06:35,450
-lt's true.
-You're kidding.
105
00:06:35,653 --> 00:06:38,292
-l have the broadcast transcript.
-Broadcast?
106
00:06:38,493 --> 00:06:39,482
Listen.
107
00:06:39,733 --> 00:06:42,406
Congressman Bertram Coles
on the radio.
108
00:06:42,613 --> 00:06:43,728
-Right.
-The fifth.
109
00:06:43,973 --> 00:06:45,406
Eastchester County.
110
00:06:45,613 --> 00:06:48,889
-Where we cut M-6 Beacon funding.
-And?
111
00:06:49,133 --> 00:06:52,682
He was with officers from
Cromwell Air Force Base. . .
112
00:06:52,933 --> 00:06:55,208
. . .when he said:
113
00:06:55,453 --> 00:07:00,732
''Folks here are fiercely patriotic.
The president better not plan a visit.
114
00:07:00,933 --> 00:07:03,652
lf he does, he may not get out alive. ''
115
00:07:03,893 --> 00:07:05,531
-He said that?
-Believe it?
116
00:07:05,773 --> 00:07:09,607
-Sitting with military officers?
-Don't take the bait.
117
00:07:09,813 --> 00:07:12,725
-l will.
-Should be a law against it.
118
00:07:12,973 --> 00:07:14,326
-There is!
-See?
119
00:07:14,573 --> 00:07:18,202
Threatening a president's life.
Conspiracy.
120
00:07:18,413 --> 00:07:22,406
How about treason? That was
a member of our own party!
121
00:07:22,613 --> 00:07:27,129
-That was a Democrat who said that!
-lt's bad, l know.
122
00:07:27,373 --> 00:07:29,284
-That's it?
-What'll you do?
123
00:07:29,533 --> 00:07:32,684
Bring him in for questioning,
pending charges.
124
00:07:32,933 --> 00:07:36,926
Why be in power if you can't
haul your enemies in?
125
00:07:37,173 --> 00:07:39,050
We're not gonna do anything?
126
00:07:39,293 --> 00:07:42,205
Yeah, we need to arrest people
for being mean.
127
00:07:42,453 --> 00:07:44,728
There is no law, no decency.
128
00:07:44,973 --> 00:07:46,611
He's just getting that.
129
00:07:46,813 --> 00:07:51,489
lf an attack order's given, we'll
need a half-hour on the networks.
130
00:07:51,733 --> 00:07:54,611
-When do we tell them?
-90 minutes' notice.
131
00:07:54,813 --> 00:07:56,246
Toby, start a draft.
132
00:07:56,493 --> 00:07:59,326
-l need to know what we're hitting.
-Me too.
133
00:07:59,573 --> 00:08:01,882
lt's military.
You'll know when you know.
134
00:08:02,213 --> 00:08:06,126
Sam, coordinate with the state
department guy and spokesperson.
135
00:08:06,373 --> 00:08:08,841
-Let's do this right.
-No chance of that.
136
00:08:09,093 --> 00:08:12,483
We need to get state department
officials, Pentagon--
137
00:08:12,693 --> 00:08:14,411
-McMartin?
-Standing by.
138
00:08:14,613 --> 00:08:16,888
-Adam Lee at the Pentagon.
-Got him.
139
00:08:17,133 --> 00:08:19,772
How do we keep
what we know from them?
140
00:08:19,853 --> 00:08:21,605
We don't know anything.
141
00:08:21,853 --> 00:08:26,768
-Sam, stop by my office around lunch.
-Sure.
142
00:08:27,013 --> 00:08:28,605
-Think she knows?
-Yeah.
143
00:08:28,813 --> 00:08:30,451
-Why?
-She told me.
144
00:08:30,693 --> 00:08:33,412
-Could we talk?
-My office. l'll be back.
145
00:08:33,653 --> 00:08:35,166
Hold on, stay there.
146
00:08:37,093 --> 00:08:40,608
Did you guys hear what
Coles said on the radio?
147
00:08:40,853 --> 00:08:41,842
-Yeah.
-And?
148
00:08:42,053 --> 00:08:46,968
Secret Service investigates all
threats against the president.
149
00:08:47,373 --> 00:08:51,002
Are you saying there will be
a criminal investigation?
150
00:08:52,093 --> 00:08:54,129
l can't comment on that.
151
00:08:54,373 --> 00:08:56,568
l gotta get back to my office.
152
00:09:01,573 --> 00:09:05,122
We'll say we don't think
we'd be disappointed. . .
153
00:09:05,373 --> 00:09:08,490
. . .if no one paid attention
to the process.
154
00:09:08,733 --> 00:09:12,123
-This is on agriculture?
-Science and technology.
155
00:09:13,653 --> 00:09:15,006
We're done.
156
00:09:20,893 --> 00:09:24,363
You wanted to see me.
l think l know why.
157
00:09:24,893 --> 00:09:28,408
Do you? You sussed it out?
158
00:09:28,613 --> 00:09:31,002
lf you and l could figure it out. . .
159
00:09:31,213 --> 00:09:35,331
. . .what makes you think no one
in my pressroom could?
160
00:09:35,573 --> 00:09:37,245
Nothing to figure out.
161
00:09:37,493 --> 00:09:39,609
You'll get caught.
162
00:09:39,853 --> 00:09:41,650
-Doing what?
-Don't get cute.
163
00:09:41,893 --> 00:09:44,691
l didn't know she was one
when we went home.
164
00:09:44,933 --> 00:09:49,165
-But you called and went back.
-To see her. Not to solicit her.
165
00:09:49,373 --> 00:09:51,523
-No difference.
-There is!
166
00:09:51,773 --> 00:09:55,652
You work in the White House and
you're consorting--
167
00:09:55,893 --> 00:10:00,011
l like her.
She poses no threat to the president.
168
00:10:00,253 --> 00:10:02,244
And owing to my friendship. . .
169
00:10:02,453 --> 00:10:06,082
. . .she might start living inbounds,
insuring her future.
170
00:10:06,333 --> 00:10:10,645
lsn't that what we're supposed
to be doing? This is ridiculous.
171
00:10:10,853 --> 00:10:14,004
-You're there to save her.
-Because l like her.
172
00:10:14,213 --> 00:10:18,604
l'd be there for her if this were
alcohol. This isn't tawdry.
173
00:10:18,813 --> 00:10:22,283
-l don't care what it is.
-l care what it is!
174
00:10:22,493 --> 00:10:25,929
We should spend less time
looking good and more--
175
00:10:26,173 --> 00:10:28,687
Being good? l've heard that one.
176
00:10:28,933 --> 00:10:30,844
-One other thing.
-Are we done?
177
00:10:31,093 --> 00:10:34,369
No, we're not done.
There's one other thing.
178
00:10:34,573 --> 00:10:38,452
-l resent this.
-Tough to tell from your tone.
179
00:10:38,653 --> 00:10:40,291
-What do you want?
-Sorry?
180
00:10:40,533 --> 00:10:43,605
-What else?
-l'm your first phone call.
181
00:10:43,853 --> 00:10:46,321
-When?
-Before, now, in the future.
182
00:10:46,533 --> 00:10:48,683
Any time you're into something.
183
00:10:48,933 --> 00:10:53,609
Don't say you thought it was nothing.
You sat with Josh and Toby.
184
00:10:53,853 --> 00:10:57,163
When you're into something,
don't keep it from me.
185
00:10:57,373 --> 00:10:59,603
l'm your first line of defense.
186
00:10:59,813 --> 00:11:02,611
l have to protect you
and the president.
187
00:11:02,813 --> 00:11:07,728
-ls that what this is about?
-A high-profile, visible, noticed--
188
00:11:08,253 --> 00:11:11,051
-Three things that mean the same thing.
-Let it go.
189
00:11:11,293 --> 00:11:13,602
Can l go? l think it's about you.
190
00:11:13,813 --> 00:11:16,008
Letting the character cops win. . .
191
00:11:16,253 --> 00:11:20,041
. . .because you don't have
the guts, strength or courage. . .
192
00:11:20,293 --> 00:11:22,727
. . .to say, ''None of your business! ''
193
00:11:22,973 --> 00:11:24,042
-Really?
-Yes!
194
00:11:24,293 --> 00:11:27,171
-Strength, guts or courage?
-Yes.
195
00:11:31,493 --> 00:11:35,406
You just said three things
that all mean the same thing.
196
00:11:41,173 --> 00:11:43,607
We're done talking now. You can go.
197
00:11:51,093 --> 00:11:54,927
-ln retaliation, will we target--?
-l don't know.
198
00:11:55,173 --> 00:11:58,961
The commandant of the Second Division
doesn't include me.
199
00:12:01,373 --> 00:12:03,250
-See you later.
-Count on it.
200
00:12:10,413 --> 00:12:12,483
-Know what?
-What, admiral?
201
00:12:12,733 --> 00:12:16,009
This is different coffee
than we usually have.
202
00:12:17,093 --> 00:12:18,526
Keep your seats.
203
00:12:20,453 --> 00:12:22,205
Morning, Mr. President.
204
00:12:23,413 --> 00:12:26,405
-What have we got?
-Three strike scenarios.
205
00:12:26,653 --> 00:12:28,484
-Operational?
-At his command.
206
00:12:28,733 --> 00:12:29,927
-No prep?
-No.
207
00:12:30,173 --> 00:12:33,802
All meet the obligations
of proportional response. . .
208
00:12:34,013 --> 00:12:37,210
. . .and pose minimum risk
to U.S. personnel.
209
00:12:37,413 --> 00:12:40,405
Scenario one, or ''Pericles One,''
its code name--
210
00:12:40,653 --> 00:12:44,009
What is the virtue
of a proportional response?
211
00:12:44,933 --> 00:12:47,527
-l'm sorry?
-What's its virtue?
212
00:12:47,773 --> 00:12:49,604
Why's it good?
213
00:12:51,373 --> 00:12:55,491
They hit an airplane, we hit
a transmitter. That's proportional.
214
00:12:57,213 --> 00:12:58,202
ln Pericles--
215
00:12:58,453 --> 00:13:01,411
They hit a barracks,
we hit two transmitters.
216
00:13:01,613 --> 00:13:05,003
-That's roughly it.
-This is what we do.
217
00:13:05,213 --> 00:13:07,807
lt's what we do and have always done.
218
00:13:08,053 --> 00:13:11,125
lf it is, don't they know we'll do it?
219
00:13:11,373 --> 00:13:14,490
lf you'll turn attention to Pericles--
220
00:13:14,733 --> 00:13:18,487
l have. lt's two ammo dumps,
an abandoned railroad bridge. . .
221
00:13:18,733 --> 00:13:20,405
. . .an intelligence agency.
222
00:13:20,613 --> 00:13:25,209
-Those are highly rated targets.
-But they know we'll do that.
223
00:13:25,413 --> 00:13:30,089
They've been abandoned for three days.
We know that from the satellite.
224
00:13:30,293 --> 00:13:34,445
They did that, so we did this.
lt's the cost. lt's factored in.
225
00:13:35,013 --> 00:13:37,686
Am l right or am l missing something?
226
00:13:38,333 --> 00:13:39,527
You're right.
227
00:13:39,773 --> 00:13:44,563
Then l ask again, what's the virtue
of a proportional response?
228
00:13:44,773 --> 00:13:47,810
lt isn't virtuous. lt's all there is.
229
00:13:48,053 --> 00:13:49,202
lt isn't.
230
00:13:49,413 --> 00:13:51,608
-Admiral Fitzwallace--
-Excuse me.
231
00:13:51,853 --> 00:13:56,608
-Just what else is there?
-The disproportional response.
232
00:13:56,813 --> 00:13:59,805
Let it ring forth
from this time and place. . .
233
00:14:00,053 --> 00:14:04,092
. . .you kill any American,
we don't come back with proportion. . .
234
00:14:04,333 --> 00:14:06,369
. . .but with total disaster!
235
00:14:06,893 --> 00:14:09,885
Are you suggesting
we carpet-bomb Damascus?
236
00:14:10,093 --> 00:14:13,529
l am suggesting you
and Fitzwallace and Hutchinson. . .
237
00:14:13,773 --> 00:14:15,923
. . .and the national security team. . .
238
00:14:16,173 --> 00:14:19,210
. . .take the next hour
and find a response. . .
239
00:14:19,413 --> 00:14:24,328
. . .that doesn't make me think we're
just docking somebody's allowance!
240
00:14:41,853 --> 00:14:44,811
-l haven't eaten lunch yet.
-What do you want?
241
00:14:45,013 --> 00:14:49,325
l would like salad, soup
and if you run across a sandwich. . .
242
00:14:49,573 --> 00:14:52,531
. . .hang the expense.
And a bottle of water.
243
00:14:52,733 --> 00:14:54,086
This is Charles Young.
244
00:14:54,333 --> 00:14:57,370
-l'm supposed to vet you.
-Beg your pardon?
245
00:14:57,573 --> 00:15:01,612
lnvestigate to discover
if there are problems.
246
00:15:01,853 --> 00:15:05,209
Josh Lyman, deputy chief of staff.
ls it Charles?
247
00:15:05,453 --> 00:15:08,843
-Have a seat if you like.
-l don't mind standing.
248
00:15:09,093 --> 00:15:10,526
-Donna?
-What?
249
00:15:10,773 --> 00:15:12,491
Never mind the salad.
250
00:15:12,733 --> 00:15:15,884
-But l would like a bottle of water.
-Fine.
251
00:15:17,853 --> 00:15:19,081
So have a seat.
252
00:15:20,053 --> 00:15:22,009
You understand why we do this.
253
00:15:22,213 --> 00:15:24,852
lt's a very sensitive job.
And a hard job.
254
00:15:25,093 --> 00:15:29,166
Twenty-hour days,
long trips at the last minute.
255
00:15:29,373 --> 00:15:32,843
Sometimes you have to be
invisible in plain sight. . .
256
00:15:33,093 --> 00:15:36,722
. . .or a force against those
who want more time than we give.
257
00:15:36,973 --> 00:15:41,205
Sometimes they'll be kings
and prime ministers. Understand?
258
00:15:41,453 --> 00:15:44,809
l think there's been
some kind of mistake.
259
00:15:45,053 --> 00:15:46,042
Really?
260
00:15:46,253 --> 00:15:50,246
-l came here, filled an application--
-l have your paperwork.
261
00:15:50,453 --> 00:15:54,332
Right. l was looking for a job
as a messenger.
262
00:15:54,573 --> 00:15:57,292
l interviewed with Miss DiLaguardia.
263
00:15:57,493 --> 00:15:59,085
She said to come here.
264
00:15:59,333 --> 00:16:03,645
We ask her to keep an eye out.
She's recommended you for another job.
265
00:16:03,853 --> 00:16:04,842
lf l may ask--?
266
00:16:05,093 --> 00:16:09,405
-Personal aide to the president.
-l don't understand.
267
00:16:09,653 --> 00:16:14,329
Personal aide. Traditionally
a young guy, 25 years old. . .
268
00:16:14,573 --> 00:16:19,488
. . .strong academics, responsible,
discreet, presentable appearance.
269
00:16:19,693 --> 00:16:24,608
Many candidates have those.
The rest is just gut instinct.
270
00:16:24,933 --> 00:16:26,889
Or you could bribe me.
271
00:16:28,013 --> 00:16:29,002
Sir, l--
272
00:16:29,213 --> 00:16:31,249
We call the president ''sir. ''
273
00:16:31,493 --> 00:16:34,690
Everyone else is,
''When do l get that thing?''
274
00:16:34,933 --> 00:16:36,889
-lt's a mistake.
-l'll say.
275
00:16:37,133 --> 00:16:39,089
-Donna!
-l should go.
276
00:16:39,333 --> 00:16:41,528
-''lnsuccessful''?
-Yes?
277
00:16:41,773 --> 00:16:44,845
-We can't make up our own words.
-Not a typo?
278
00:16:45,053 --> 00:16:48,602
Change it. Serious people
are gonna read that.
279
00:16:51,653 --> 00:16:55,009
-You're standing again.
-l came for a messenger job.
280
00:16:55,213 --> 00:16:57,602
Why aren't you in college?
281
00:16:58,453 --> 00:17:03,129
Your grades are better than mine.
Not really, but they're close.
282
00:17:03,373 --> 00:17:05,284
lt was an easy school.
283
00:17:05,533 --> 00:17:10,288
Recommendations, ACT scores--
You didn't want to go to college?
284
00:17:10,493 --> 00:17:12,529
l have a little sister.
285
00:17:12,773 --> 00:17:14,809
-You take care of her?
-Yes.
286
00:17:15,013 --> 00:17:16,571
Your parents are gone?
287
00:17:16,773 --> 00:17:19,526
My mom, she's a police officer.
288
00:17:19,773 --> 00:17:23,812
She was shot and killed on duty
a few months ago.
289
00:17:24,573 --> 00:17:26,404
Five months ago.
290
00:17:42,573 --> 00:17:44,211
Keep your seats.
291
00:17:46,093 --> 00:17:49,608
A delegation of cardiologists
is having pictures taken upstairs.
292
00:17:49,813 --> 00:17:54,011
You wouldn't think there's a group
more arrogant than us. . .
293
00:17:54,213 --> 00:17:56,886
. . .but they're upstairs
in the Blue Room.
294
00:17:57,093 --> 00:17:59,049
-You called me?
-Yes, sir.
295
00:17:59,293 --> 00:18:03,605
We put together a scenario
by which we attack Hassan airport.
296
00:18:03,853 --> 00:18:06,413
Three main terminals and two runways.
297
00:18:06,653 --> 00:18:10,202
ln addition to thousands
of civilian casualties. . .
298
00:18:10,413 --> 00:18:16,045
. . .we'd cripple the region's ability
to receive medical supplies and water.
299
00:18:16,253 --> 00:18:18,847
Mr. Cashman and
Secretary Hutchinson. . .
300
00:18:19,093 --> 00:18:22,290
. . .would each tell you
what you already know. . .
301
00:18:22,533 --> 00:18:25,843
. . .that this would be seen
both at home and abroad. . .
302
00:18:26,093 --> 00:18:29,688
. . .as an overreaction
by a first-time Commander in Chief.
303
00:18:29,933 --> 00:18:32,447
That without the support
of our allies. . .
304
00:18:32,653 --> 00:18:35,804
. . .without Great Britain,
Japan and Congress. . .
305
00:18:36,053 --> 00:18:39,807
. . .you'll have doled out
$5000 worth of punishment. . .
306
00:18:40,013 --> 00:18:41,810
. . .for a 50-buck crime.
307
00:18:43,133 --> 00:18:48,002
A proportional response doesn't empty
the options box for the future. . .
308
00:18:48,213 --> 00:18:51,046
. . .the way an all-out assault would--
309
00:18:51,293 --> 00:18:52,612
Thank you.
310
00:18:57,093 --> 00:19:00,005
Does anyone have a cigarette?
311
00:19:13,693 --> 00:19:15,046
This other plan--
312
00:19:15,293 --> 00:19:17,853
-Pericles One, sir?
-Pericles One.
313
00:19:18,093 --> 00:19:21,608
-No civilian casualties?
-We can't promise that.
314
00:19:21,853 --> 00:19:25,528
-But you're as certain as you can be?
-Yes, sir.
315
00:19:25,773 --> 00:19:27,604
The military implications?
316
00:19:27,813 --> 00:19:32,125
We'll cripple intelligence and
surface-to-air strike capabilities.
317
00:19:32,373 --> 00:19:34,011
Very well.
318
00:19:44,333 --> 00:19:46,289
How does this work?
319
00:19:46,533 --> 00:19:48,603
You give me the go order, sir.
320
00:20:08,453 --> 00:20:10,205
Mr. President?
321
00:20:22,973 --> 00:20:26,283
This is Fitzwallace.
l have a go order.
322
00:20:26,533 --> 00:20:29,411
Start the clock on Pericles One.
323
00:20:29,613 --> 00:20:32,411
Stand by for confirmation code.
324
00:20:33,293 --> 00:20:34,806
We're underway.
325
00:20:42,573 --> 00:20:44,450
Well done, Mr. President.
326
00:20:46,173 --> 00:20:48,209
''Fifty-buck crime''?
327
00:20:49,133 --> 00:20:52,603
l honestly don't know
what the hell we're doing here.
328
00:20:56,973 --> 00:20:59,885
l've got questions
from the council's office. . .
329
00:21:00,133 --> 00:21:03,409
. . .from the Treasury
and from internal security.
330
00:21:03,613 --> 00:21:05,444
They're routine. Ready?
331
00:21:05,653 --> 00:21:10,443
-Ever try to overthrow the government?
-ls the messenger job unavailable?
332
00:21:10,693 --> 00:21:12,411
lf l came back later--
333
00:21:12,613 --> 00:21:16,970
This job's better. lt pays more,
you don't ride on a bicycle. . .
334
00:21:17,173 --> 00:21:21,212
. . .and instead, you'll be
personal aide to the president.
335
00:21:21,413 --> 00:21:23,005
l see. So if l come--
336
00:21:23,213 --> 00:21:26,011
Sam Seaborn,
deputy communications director.
337
00:21:26,213 --> 00:21:29,091
-Charlie's here for Ted's job.
-Don't get up.
338
00:21:29,333 --> 00:21:32,689
-l'm here for the messenger job.
-Debbie's got an eye out.
339
00:21:32,933 --> 00:21:36,323
-l've got my own bike--
-l gotta ask more questions--
340
00:21:36,573 --> 00:21:38,928
-Ever try to overthrow the government?
-No.
341
00:21:39,173 --> 00:21:41,687
-What's been stopping you?
-Seriously. . .
342
00:21:41,933 --> 00:21:44,606
. . .l gotta ask
about your personal life.
343
00:21:44,853 --> 00:21:48,004
-No, you don't.
-Yes, l do.
344
00:21:48,213 --> 00:21:51,091
-Why?
-Because l do.
345
00:21:51,613 --> 00:21:55,845
Will you come early, stay late
and do your job efficiently?
346
00:21:56,053 --> 00:21:58,408
-As l was saying to--
-Thank you.
347
00:21:58,613 --> 00:22:00,843
What more do you need to know?
348
00:22:01,093 --> 00:22:04,449
What about your social life,
friends, what you do?
349
00:22:04,693 --> 00:22:06,411
l cannot believe you.
350
00:22:06,613 --> 00:22:09,081
Well, there's my sister, Deanna--
351
00:22:09,333 --> 00:22:11,608
l'm not sure what you're asking.
352
00:22:11,813 --> 00:22:14,930
He's asking if you're gay.
l wouldn't answer.
353
00:22:15,173 --> 00:22:16,811
Let's take a walk.
354
00:22:17,013 --> 00:22:20,972
-Feel free to sue. l'll represent you.
-Let's go.
355
00:22:22,453 --> 00:22:23,727
What was that?
356
00:22:23,973 --> 00:22:25,850
-This is ridiculous.
-lt's not.
357
00:22:26,093 --> 00:22:27,606
l know right and wrong.
358
00:22:27,853 --> 00:22:31,004
You knew you'd be held
to a higher standard here.
359
00:22:31,253 --> 00:22:33,608
l mind being held to a lower one.
360
00:22:33,813 --> 00:22:36,281
-Digging your heels--
-You're talking?
361
00:22:36,533 --> 00:22:39,605
Digging my heels?
Another word for ''principle. ''
362
00:22:39,813 --> 00:22:43,726
-l'm just saying--!
-Leo's office. lt's happening.
363
00:22:44,413 --> 00:22:45,846
He's right here.
364
00:22:46,053 --> 00:22:48,089
-lt's happening?
-That's right.
365
00:22:48,293 --> 00:22:51,922
The order was given at 1 627,
code name Pericles One.
366
00:22:52,173 --> 00:22:53,606
Four military targets.
367
00:22:53,853 --> 00:22:57,448
Two munitions dumps in North Rashan,
Saffian bridge and l.H.Q.
368
00:22:57,693 --> 00:22:59,729
-Estimated time?
-6:30 Eastern.
369
00:22:59,973 --> 00:23:02,612
Briefing in the Sit Room
in 20 minutes.
370
00:23:02,853 --> 00:23:04,730
ln the meantime, Toby, Sam. . .
371
00:23:04,973 --> 00:23:08,852
. . .the president will go on network
at 9. Start zeroing in.
372
00:23:09,093 --> 00:23:10,651
No phone calls in or out.
373
00:23:10,893 --> 00:23:14,010
C.J., nothing to the press
until l say.
374
00:23:14,213 --> 00:23:18,001
-They'll wonder about the fuss.
-Let's not have any.
375
00:23:18,253 --> 00:23:21,086
-l need time with the president.
-Me too.
376
00:23:21,293 --> 00:23:23,932
-This is the first--
-He'll be there.
377
00:23:24,173 --> 00:23:26,607
-He'll talk to me?
-Yes.
378
00:23:31,973 --> 00:23:33,804
How you doing?
379
00:23:34,813 --> 00:23:36,132
Fine.
380
00:23:36,893 --> 00:23:40,852
-Toby says he's snapping at--
-Not now, Josh.
381
00:23:41,053 --> 00:23:43,123
You're right, but not now.
382
00:23:43,373 --> 00:23:44,852
Margaret!
383
00:23:45,733 --> 00:23:48,645
-Can l ask you a question?
-What?
384
00:23:48,853 --> 00:23:52,641
l'm interviewing a kid for Ted's job
and he's special.
385
00:23:52,893 --> 00:23:56,363
Good in school and articulate
if he wasn't terrified.
386
00:23:56,573 --> 00:24:00,122
He's postponing college
till his sister's out of high school.
387
00:24:00,373 --> 00:24:03,763
-Parents?
-Father's gone. Mother was a cop.
388
00:24:03,973 --> 00:24:08,603
-Was?
-Shot and killed five months ago.
389
00:24:10,133 --> 00:24:12,363
l like him. l want to hire him.
390
00:24:12,613 --> 00:24:15,764
-What's the problem?
-He's black.
391
00:24:15,973 --> 00:24:18,043
So is the attorney general.
392
00:24:18,293 --> 00:24:22,445
He doesn't hold the door
for the president. lt's the visual.
393
00:24:22,693 --> 00:24:25,253
A young black man holding his bag?
394
00:24:25,493 --> 00:24:29,964
l hold the door for him.
lt's an honor. This isn't casting.
395
00:24:30,173 --> 00:24:33,529
We get the guy for the job,
and we take it from there.
396
00:24:33,773 --> 00:24:38,005
-And l'm fairly sure l'm right.
-Yeah, good.
397
00:24:39,333 --> 00:24:41,722
-Two hours.
-A little less.
398
00:24:41,973 --> 00:24:45,602
-Leo, Chairman Fitzwallace.
-Send him in.
399
00:24:46,453 --> 00:24:48,808
-We'll be fine.
-Yeah.
400
00:24:49,213 --> 00:24:51,932
Things have moved
since l was here last.
401
00:24:52,173 --> 00:24:56,451
-How are you? Josh Lyman.
-You don't have to introduce yourself.
402
00:24:56,693 --> 00:24:57,682
Tough day.
403
00:24:57,933 --> 00:25:01,812
-lt'll be tougher on them than on us.
-Good.
404
00:25:03,053 --> 00:25:06,170
-You're gonna have to sit him down.
-l know.
405
00:25:06,373 --> 00:25:08,603
He has to talk to the country.
406
00:25:08,813 --> 00:25:12,886
This isn't the last one we'll have
to do. But sit him down.
407
00:25:13,213 --> 00:25:15,488
-Any advice?
-lt's not my place.
408
00:25:15,733 --> 00:25:17,485
Yeah, it is.
409
00:25:17,733 --> 00:25:22,284
Tell him it's always like this
the first time and he's doing fine.
410
00:25:22,533 --> 00:25:24,364
-He's not.
-Yeah, he is.
411
00:25:24,573 --> 00:25:28,009
Presidents don't make new friends.
412
00:25:28,213 --> 00:25:29,885
You'll know what to say.
413
00:25:30,133 --> 00:25:32,442
Yeah. Hey, Fitz!
414
00:25:33,053 --> 00:25:35,442
The president's personal aide.
415
00:25:35,693 --> 00:25:39,003
Any problem with a young black man
waiting on him?
416
00:25:39,213 --> 00:25:43,843
-l'm an old black man and l do that.
-He's got to carry his bags--
417
00:25:44,093 --> 00:25:46,243
You gonna pay him a decent wage?
418
00:25:46,493 --> 00:25:48,723
You gonna treat him with respect?
419
00:25:48,973 --> 00:25:51,328
-Then why should l care?
-Right.
420
00:25:51,573 --> 00:25:55,725
l've got real battles.
l don't have time for cosmetic ones.
421
00:25:56,173 --> 00:25:59,609
-Thanks, admiral. Good luck.
-See you later.
422
00:26:01,733 --> 00:26:03,610
-Evening, Toby.
-l can't stop--
423
00:26:03,853 --> 00:26:04,842
Go.
424
00:26:05,093 --> 00:26:07,561
-Estimated BDA?
-l don't know!
425
00:26:07,773 --> 00:26:09,092
-You need help?
-No.
426
00:26:09,333 --> 00:26:11,642
Sheila, if you need me. . .
427
00:26:11,893 --> 00:26:15,602
. . .l'm standing here
with absolutely nothing to do.
428
00:26:16,293 --> 00:26:18,011
White House communications.
429
00:26:18,253 --> 00:26:21,484
Toby's not available
to speak on the phone.
430
00:26:21,733 --> 00:26:23,803
No, Sam's not available either.
431
00:26:24,013 --> 00:26:27,528
-Why aren't they?
-They're planning my surprise party.
432
00:26:27,733 --> 00:26:30,327
-Unprovoked and cold-blooded.
-A third?
433
00:26:30,573 --> 00:26:32,609
-Quickly.
-The AGM-84E SLAM.
434
00:26:32,853 --> 00:26:36,448
-Sam cut the paragraph 1 0 minutes ago!
-Coming out!
435
00:26:36,653 --> 00:26:39,565
-84E SLAM?
-Standoff land attack missile.
436
00:26:39,773 --> 00:26:44,005
Distinguish it from the Harpoon,
an anti-ship missile.
437
00:26:44,213 --> 00:26:46,602
-The third?
-Unwarranted, unprovoked.
438
00:26:46,813 --> 00:26:49,850
-Unwarranted, cold-blooded--
-Unprovoked.
439
00:26:50,053 --> 00:26:52,692
-Where are you--?
-Two seconds.
440
00:26:57,773 --> 00:27:00,810
-l'm sorry about before.
-Yeah.
441
00:27:01,053 --> 00:27:03,726
l'm just very fond of her is all.
442
00:27:03,973 --> 00:27:05,611
Go back to work.
443
00:27:05,853 --> 00:27:07,206
Right.
444
00:27:13,653 --> 00:27:15,928
-What's all the activity?
-What?
445
00:27:16,133 --> 00:27:18,283
Fitzwallace was in Leo's office.
446
00:27:18,493 --> 00:27:22,884
Fitzwallace is chairman, Leo's chief
of staff, l'm your host. Let's play.
447
00:27:23,133 --> 00:27:25,203
ls it happening? Would you know?
448
00:27:25,453 --> 00:27:28,251
-Why the activity?
-Menudo's here. Gotta go.
449
00:27:28,493 --> 00:27:30,404
l'd think you of all people--
450
00:27:30,613 --> 00:27:33,605
-We need to talk.
-l haven't called a full lid.
451
00:27:33,853 --> 00:27:37,323
There'll be a briefing
if we've engaged the military.
452
00:27:37,573 --> 00:27:42,408
l've only been a White House reporter
for seven years, so l know.
453
00:27:43,293 --> 00:27:45,011
What?
454
00:27:47,973 --> 00:27:49,326
Not for nothing. . .
455
00:27:49,573 --> 00:27:53,088
. . .but Sam's been going
with a $3000 call girl.
456
00:27:53,333 --> 00:27:56,006
l thought you should know that l know.
457
00:27:56,853 --> 00:28:00,209
-Ask me inside.
-lnside.
458
00:28:17,493 --> 00:28:18,721
Where's Charlie?
459
00:28:18,973 --> 00:28:21,089
Filling out employment stuff.
460
00:28:21,333 --> 00:28:23,801
-How's he doing?
-He looked freaked.
461
00:28:24,053 --> 00:28:28,012
-He's a gamer. l can pick them.
-lf you say so.
462
00:28:35,213 --> 00:28:37,010
l have nothing to do.
463
00:28:37,253 --> 00:28:39,209
l can see.
464
00:28:40,013 --> 00:28:41,207
Excuse me.
465
00:28:41,413 --> 00:28:45,611
Everyone running like the world
depends on it. Which it does.
466
00:28:45,853 --> 00:28:50,210
Everyone's running around, working.
Me, l've got nothing to do.
467
00:28:51,333 --> 00:28:53,642
Like a writer on a movie set.
468
00:28:53,893 --> 00:28:56,407
Have you ever been on a movie set?
469
00:28:56,653 --> 00:28:59,008
No, but l hear stories.
470
00:28:59,253 --> 00:29:00,811
Want to do mail?
471
00:29:01,053 --> 00:29:05,649
At least we know that whatever
happens today has already happened.
472
00:29:05,893 --> 00:29:08,805
Josh, your office sucks.
473
00:29:09,093 --> 00:29:12,802
Why can't you tell me
there's a person in my office?
474
00:29:13,053 --> 00:29:17,524
The first time l didn't know.
The second, l didn't care that much.
475
00:29:17,813 --> 00:29:20,407
l mean it, it's a hole.
476
00:29:20,733 --> 00:29:22,485
Why are you here?
477
00:29:22,733 --> 00:29:25,531
l start next week.
l came to get psyched.
478
00:29:25,773 --> 00:29:28,003
You picked a bad time.
479
00:29:28,213 --> 00:29:31,046
Because of the attack
and you going on air?
480
00:29:31,293 --> 00:29:32,521
No, it's because--
481
00:29:32,773 --> 00:29:34,684
Everyone's looking casual.
482
00:29:34,933 --> 00:29:38,926
Toby and Sam are with the writers
and you have nothing to do.
483
00:29:39,133 --> 00:29:40,885
ls it a couple of armories?
484
00:29:41,133 --> 00:29:44,250
Louder. Syrian Air Defense
didn't hear you.
485
00:29:44,693 --> 00:29:47,605
-l got you a present.
-Why are you being nice?
486
00:29:47,813 --> 00:29:49,804
l'm excited about work.
487
00:29:50,013 --> 00:29:53,244
-lt's been bad since it happened.
-l had a hunch.
488
00:29:53,493 --> 00:29:56,291
The combination of
American lives and Morris.
489
00:29:56,493 --> 00:30:00,042
-The idea of using force--
-We knew he'd be in his head.
490
00:30:00,253 --> 00:30:03,404
-He wasn't ready for it.
-How do you get ready?
491
00:30:03,613 --> 00:30:05,649
-What did you bring me?
-What?
492
00:30:05,893 --> 00:30:08,612
-l want my present.
-Oh, yeah.
493
00:30:10,053 --> 00:30:11,850
lt's a picture l found.
494
00:30:13,653 --> 00:30:17,612
lt's you and me, and someone's
drawn on my face with a marker.
495
00:30:17,813 --> 00:30:20,930
That was me. During my period
of hating you.
496
00:30:21,173 --> 00:30:23,607
That could have been any time.
497
00:30:23,853 --> 00:30:27,926
This was taken the night we met.
At the seafood place.
498
00:30:28,173 --> 00:30:30,004
Look at that.
499
00:30:30,253 --> 00:30:34,212
-You stared at me.
-You were wearing quite the ensemble.
500
00:30:34,453 --> 00:30:38,207
l don't think it was the wardrobe
you were looking at.
501
00:30:38,853 --> 00:30:41,606
You guys are doing okay, Josh.
502
00:30:45,133 --> 00:30:46,407
Yeah?
503
00:30:47,973 --> 00:30:49,201
Yeah.
504
00:30:49,853 --> 00:30:53,129
-They found a job for me.
-See you next week.
505
00:30:53,373 --> 00:30:57,924
-Will you be nice when we're working?
-Not a chance.
506
00:30:58,133 --> 00:31:00,203
That's what l thought.
507
00:31:05,013 --> 00:31:06,412
What's up?
508
00:31:07,373 --> 00:31:09,489
l don't have enough for a story. . .
509
00:31:09,733 --> 00:31:12,805
. . .but l wanted you to know
l'll be asking around.
510
00:31:13,053 --> 00:31:16,090
-lt's nothing.
-Doesn't look that way.
511
00:31:16,333 --> 00:31:19,689
l just got through telling you
it's that way.
512
00:31:19,933 --> 00:31:21,651
Sam knows right and wrong.
513
00:31:21,893 --> 00:31:24,805
lt would be easier
if they weren't friends.
514
00:31:25,053 --> 00:31:29,729
But l don't choose his friends and
your readers don't get to judge them.
515
00:31:29,973 --> 00:31:33,522
And there's something commendable
about Sam's behavior.
516
00:31:33,773 --> 00:31:35,411
And l'm sticking by him.
517
00:31:35,653 --> 00:31:39,885
And l'll look unfavorably on those
who make us look like fools.
518
00:31:40,133 --> 00:31:41,885
-l'll drop it.
-Thank you.
519
00:31:42,133 --> 00:31:46,809
But not everyone's a good guy.
You'll start to get traction. . .
520
00:31:47,013 --> 00:31:50,210
. . .on something
someone's not a fan of. . .
521
00:31:50,453 --> 00:31:53,843
. . .and they'll put a tail on him.
l found out.
522
00:31:54,093 --> 00:31:56,402
-l don't suppose you'd tell--
-No way.
523
00:31:56,653 --> 00:31:59,292
But they'll keep it
until something big.
524
00:31:59,533 --> 00:32:03,412
Bill signing, State of the Union,
maybe the convention.
525
00:32:03,733 --> 00:32:05,883
Yeah. l'll wait for him.
526
00:32:06,133 --> 00:32:08,044
l'm giving you a head start.
527
00:32:08,293 --> 00:32:10,124
-What for?
-Being a good guy.
528
00:32:10,373 --> 00:32:12,011
What's the tip?
529
00:32:12,253 --> 00:32:14,209
Yeah, thank you.
530
00:32:14,893 --> 00:32:16,849
We're out of Syrian airspace.
531
00:32:17,213 --> 00:32:21,729
This was the council's office till
the communications staff conquered.
532
00:32:21,973 --> 00:32:23,645
Map Room, Roosevelt Room.
533
00:32:23,893 --> 00:32:25,929
Oval Office, chief of staff.
534
00:32:26,173 --> 00:32:29,245
Only thing left is to
say hello to the president.
535
00:32:29,493 --> 00:32:32,451
We're going on the air soon
so l don't know--
536
00:32:32,693 --> 00:32:34,604
Where the hell did he go?
537
00:32:34,973 --> 00:32:36,042
Charlie.
538
00:32:38,293 --> 00:32:40,853
-Where's paragraph nine?
-ln the red line.
539
00:32:41,093 --> 00:32:43,402
-Sorry, paragraph eight.
-We cut that.
540
00:32:43,613 --> 00:32:45,843
-l want it.
-lf you look--
541
00:32:46,053 --> 00:32:48,203
l can't look at anything.
542
00:32:48,453 --> 00:32:51,684
-l need my glasses!
-She's talking to the porters.
543
00:32:51,893 --> 00:32:53,326
When's the BDA?
544
00:32:53,573 --> 00:32:55,291
-There's a problem.
-Why?
545
00:32:55,493 --> 00:32:59,008
Ordinarily, we get info
from inside Syrian intelligence.
546
00:32:59,213 --> 00:33:02,808
-So?
-We just blew up Syrian intelligence.
547
00:33:03,013 --> 00:33:07,006
Somebody call CNN and find out
if we hit anything!
548
00:33:07,213 --> 00:33:08,282
lt's the BDA.
549
00:33:08,533 --> 00:33:11,411
Thank you! Now if l had my glasses!
550
00:33:12,893 --> 00:33:14,485
They've searched your room--
551
00:33:14,733 --> 00:33:17,611
We could've brought in an optometrist!
552
00:33:17,813 --> 00:33:21,408
They can't fold their equipment
into a briefcase.
553
00:33:21,613 --> 00:33:25,322
l don't need one now.
l need the glasses he prescribed!
554
00:33:25,573 --> 00:33:28,724
lf you'll familiarize yourself
with the Phoenix--
555
00:33:28,973 --> 00:33:32,602
-l have.
-l'm not talking about the Sidewinder.
556
00:33:32,813 --> 00:33:35,611
l got the briefing on it last night.
557
00:33:35,813 --> 00:33:37,565
Hutchinson was in my study.
558
00:33:37,773 --> 00:33:42,130
The Phoenix, the Sparrow,
and the Sidewinder. Are we covered?
559
00:33:42,373 --> 00:33:43,647
Ten minutes to air.
560
00:33:43,893 --> 00:33:46,202
-For want of glasses!
-Try mine.
561
00:33:46,773 --> 00:33:49,048
-Tell him.
-We're looking.
562
00:33:49,813 --> 00:33:54,728
-Meantime, look at the new para--
-l can't see anything!
563
00:33:54,933 --> 00:33:57,447
-Tell him.
-Mr. President?
564
00:34:01,533 --> 00:34:04,206
-You said you read the report--
-What?
565
00:34:04,413 --> 00:34:08,201
You said you read the report
in your study last night.
566
00:34:08,413 --> 00:34:10,005
What of it? Who is this?
567
00:34:10,253 --> 00:34:15,008
Have a steward go to the study,
and look on the coffee table.
568
00:34:15,213 --> 00:34:19,650
-Mr. President, this is Charles--
-l don't have time for new people!
569
00:34:20,133 --> 00:34:21,805
All right, that's it.
570
00:34:23,373 --> 00:34:26,524
Excuse me, Mr. President.
A minute, please?
571
00:34:37,573 --> 00:34:39,404
What do you need?
572
00:34:40,013 --> 00:34:43,722
You've gone through all your workers
and your wife.
573
00:34:43,933 --> 00:34:48,529
l was afraid you'd get mad
at the American people next.
574
00:34:48,773 --> 00:34:53,403
By the way, when we're done here,
you're sending Abbey some flowers.
575
00:35:01,893 --> 00:35:03,804
Did you know, 2000 years ago. . .
576
00:35:04,013 --> 00:35:07,642
. . .a Roman citizen could walk
across the known world. . .
577
00:35:07,893 --> 00:35:10,327
. . .free of the fear of molestation?
578
00:35:10,573 --> 00:35:12,803
He could walk across unharmed. . .
579
00:35:13,013 --> 00:35:16,210
. . .protected by the words
''Civis Romanus. ''
580
00:35:16,413 --> 00:35:18,210
''l am a Roman citizen. ''
581
00:35:18,453 --> 00:35:23,004
So great was the retribution of Rome
universally understood. . .
582
00:35:23,213 --> 00:35:27,047
. . .should any harm befall
even one of its citizens.
583
00:35:27,293 --> 00:35:31,332
Where was Morris' protection,
or anybody else on that plane?
584
00:35:31,573 --> 00:35:35,612
Where's the retribution for the
families? The warning to the world. . .
585
00:35:35,813 --> 00:35:37,804
. . .that Americans
shall walk unharmed. . .
586
00:35:38,053 --> 00:35:42,524
. . .lest the fist of the most mighty
military force in history. . .
587
00:35:42,773 --> 00:35:44,729
. . .comes crashing down on you.
588
00:35:44,973 --> 00:35:47,407
ln other words, what are we doing?
589
00:35:47,653 --> 00:35:52,488
-Behaving as a superpower ought to.
-lt's produced crappy results!
590
00:35:52,733 --> 00:35:57,045
-l'm not sure it hasn't induced it!
-What are you talking about?
591
00:35:57,293 --> 00:35:59,932
l'm talking about 286 Marines
in Beirut!
592
00:36:00,173 --> 00:36:02,084
About Somalia! About Nairobi!
593
00:36:02,333 --> 00:36:05,405
You think adding
to the body count is a deterrent?
594
00:36:05,613 --> 00:36:09,208
That's as stupid as
thinking capital punishment. . .
595
00:36:09,413 --> 00:36:11,563
. . .is a deterrent for drug kingpins!
596
00:36:11,773 --> 00:36:16,210
As if they didn't live daily
under the possibility of execution.
597
00:36:16,453 --> 00:36:19,126
And their executions are less dainty.
598
00:36:19,373 --> 00:36:23,525
And take place without the bother
and expense of due process.
599
00:36:23,773 --> 00:36:27,732
So if you want to start using
American military strength. . .
600
00:36:27,973 --> 00:36:31,204
. . .as the arm of the Lord. . .
601
00:36:32,413 --> 00:36:34,131
. . .you can do that.
602
00:36:34,373 --> 00:36:36,045
We're the only superpower left.
603
00:36:36,293 --> 00:36:40,286
You can conquer the world
like Charlemagne.
604
00:36:40,533 --> 00:36:43,843
But you better be prepared
to kill everyone.
605
00:36:44,053 --> 00:36:48,808
And start with me because
l will raise up an army against you. . .
606
00:36:49,053 --> 00:36:51,203
. . .and l will beat you!
607
00:36:53,133 --> 00:36:55,601
-He had a 1 0-day-old baby.
-l know.
608
00:36:55,813 --> 00:36:57,087
We're doing nothing.
609
00:36:57,333 --> 00:37:00,928
We are not!
Four high-rated military targets.
610
00:37:01,173 --> 00:37:03,687
-And this is good?
-There is no good!
611
00:37:03,893 --> 00:37:05,087
lt's what there is.
612
00:37:05,333 --> 00:37:08,052
lt's how the most powerful nation
behaves.
613
00:37:08,293 --> 00:37:11,808
lt's proportional, reasonable,
responsible, merciful.
614
00:37:12,053 --> 00:37:14,806
lt's not nothing.
Four military targets.
615
00:37:15,053 --> 00:37:18,602
-Which they'll rebuild!
-We'll blow them up again!
616
00:37:18,853 --> 00:37:21,606
We're getting really good at it.
617
00:37:29,973 --> 00:37:33,010
lt's what our fathers taught us.
618
00:37:34,893 --> 00:37:37,248
Why didn't you say so?
619
00:37:38,853 --> 00:37:41,003
Oh, man.
620
00:37:42,413 --> 00:37:46,088
When l think of all the work
you put in to get me to run. . .
621
00:37:46,333 --> 00:37:49,609
. . .of all the work you did
to get me elected. . .
622
00:37:49,813 --> 00:37:53,408
. . .l could pummel your ass
with a baseball bat.
623
00:38:02,413 --> 00:38:04,404
Here's one you'll like.
624
00:38:04,933 --> 00:38:09,131
-Bertram Coles--
-l like anything starting with that.
625
00:38:09,373 --> 00:38:11,523
Coles goes on the radio and says. . .
626
00:38:11,773 --> 00:38:14,287
. . .people in his district
love America. . .
627
00:38:14,533 --> 00:38:19,004
. . .and you better not come down
because you might not get out alive.
628
00:38:19,213 --> 00:38:21,681
-Bert's calling me out?
-Apparently.
629
00:38:21,933 --> 00:38:25,084
The people in his district
are so patriotic. . .
630
00:38:25,333 --> 00:38:29,531
. . .that if the president of the
United States were to show up. . .
631
00:38:29,773 --> 00:38:31,365
. . .they'd kill him.
632
00:38:32,453 --> 00:38:36,002
-Ziegler must be ballistic!
-Toby is on it.
633
00:38:38,133 --> 00:38:42,046
Who was that kid who figured out
where my glasses were?
634
00:38:42,293 --> 00:38:45,490
lf you want him,
that's your new body man.
635
00:38:45,733 --> 00:38:47,371
What's his story?
636
00:38:52,253 --> 00:38:54,448
What's going on in there?
637
00:38:54,693 --> 00:38:56,411
l don't know.
638
00:38:57,133 --> 00:39:01,046
Do you know about the Secret Service
investigating Coles. . .
639
00:39:01,253 --> 00:39:03,642
. . .for threatening the president?
640
00:39:03,893 --> 00:39:05,042
No.
641
00:39:05,293 --> 00:39:07,523
Greenwald is quoting you as saying. . .
642
00:39:07,773 --> 00:39:12,483
. . .they investigate all threats
made against the president.
643
00:39:13,053 --> 00:39:14,281
Yeah.
644
00:39:14,533 --> 00:39:17,605
-Did you say that?
-Yeah.
645
00:39:18,133 --> 00:39:21,728
You don't suppose that's
how the story got started?
646
00:39:21,973 --> 00:39:26,603
You tell Coles, Toby Ziegler said
there's a new sheriff in town.
647
00:39:31,693 --> 00:39:34,127
This was just, l think, a bad day.
648
00:39:34,373 --> 00:39:39,242
He's ordinarily an extremely kind man,
placing a high premium on civility.
649
00:39:39,493 --> 00:39:43,281
lt's just been a difficult
few days for him.
650
00:39:43,533 --> 00:39:45,125
l should probably go.
651
00:39:45,373 --> 00:39:48,683
Excuse me, Charlie.
Can l see you inside, please?
652
00:39:48,933 --> 00:39:50,605
Come on, it's okay.
653
00:39:51,173 --> 00:39:53,289
-l'm Jed Bartlet.
-Charles Young.
654
00:39:53,493 --> 00:39:57,042
You prefer Charlie.
Leo filled me in about your mother.
655
00:39:57,293 --> 00:40:01,889
l hope you don't mind but l called
Tom Connolly, the FBl director--
656
00:40:02,133 --> 00:40:04,044
We got some quick information.
657
00:40:04,293 --> 00:40:08,206
Your mother was killed
by a .38 revolver firing KTWs. . .
658
00:40:08,413 --> 00:40:10,005
. . .or ''cop-killer'' bullets.
659
00:40:10,213 --> 00:40:12,443
We have not had success yet. . .
660
00:40:12,653 --> 00:40:15,611
. . .in banning those bullets
off the streets.
661
00:40:15,853 --> 00:40:20,051
We plan a whack at it
when Congress comes back from recess.
662
