Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,721 --> 00:00:07,441
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:07,607 --> 00:00:09,643
Greg Brock just released a story...
3
00:00:09,807 --> 00:00:12,321
...about a classified military shuttle
that could be...
4
00:00:12,487 --> 00:00:14,239
...sent up to rescue those astronauts.
5
00:00:14,407 --> 00:00:17,638
It's a federal crime to divulge
classified information.
6
00:00:17,807 --> 00:00:19,081
I want this leaker found.
7
00:00:19,247 --> 00:00:22,444
Did David ever mention anything
about a non-civilian shuttle?
8
00:00:22,607 --> 00:00:23,722
Hey, I got subpoenaed.
9
00:00:23,887 --> 00:00:24,922
- Congratulations.
- You?
10
00:00:25,087 --> 00:00:27,203
Nope. Last one to get
one's a rotten egg.
11
00:00:27,367 --> 00:00:29,437
Last one is the focus
of the investigation.
12
00:00:29,607 --> 00:00:32,804
Can you tell me about the nature
of your relationship with Greg Brock?
13
00:00:32,967 --> 00:00:34,195
I'm the suspect.
14
00:00:37,647 --> 00:00:40,036
You would not believe
the day I've had.
15
00:00:40,207 --> 00:00:41,845
I'd tell you about it if I could...
16
00:00:42,007 --> 00:00:44,885
...but a bunch of stuff happened today
I can't talk about.
17
00:00:45,047 --> 00:00:48,119
So I guess I should
stop talking about it.
18
00:00:48,287 --> 00:00:50,801
The truth is I'm so strung-out
and wired on caffeine...
19
00:00:50,967 --> 00:00:52,878
...I can't tell what room I'm in.
- C.J.?
20
00:00:53,047 --> 00:00:55,277
Let's open that bottle
of champagne you gave me.
21
00:00:55,487 --> 00:00:58,240
Maybe the alcohol
will balance out the caffeine.
22
00:00:58,407 --> 00:00:59,635
C.J., the leak...
23
00:00:59,807 --> 00:01:03,561
Let's have a toast, one final toast...
24
00:01:03,727 --> 00:01:06,719
...before I leave the White House
for my perp walk in leg irons.
25
00:01:06,887 --> 00:01:08,605
You open it. I'll take out your eye...
26
00:01:08,767 --> 00:01:10,086
- Would you...?
- I'll open it.
27
00:01:10,247 --> 00:01:13,637
But just listen to what I have to say.
28
00:01:13,807 --> 00:01:16,116
Leo's in trouble.
29
00:01:16,847 --> 00:01:19,361
- I know.
- You do?
30
00:01:25,087 --> 00:01:27,555
- I got a lawyer.
- What?
31
00:01:30,887 --> 00:01:32,798
I got a lawyer.
32
00:01:40,247 --> 00:01:42,203
I did it.
33
00:02:05,567 --> 00:02:09,401
Call the White House Counsel's office.
Send someone over immediately.
34
00:02:15,127 --> 00:02:16,401
I didn't want you to think...
35
00:02:16,567 --> 00:02:20,116
We really can't have any further
conversation without Counsel present.
36
00:03:15,167 --> 00:03:17,044
Excuse me.
I was told to come right in.
37
00:03:17,207 --> 00:03:18,720
Mike, is it?
38
00:03:18,887 --> 00:03:20,923
Sorry. Mike Wayne,
associate counsel.
39
00:03:21,087 --> 00:03:22,805
Mr. Ziegler?
40
00:03:24,407 --> 00:03:27,126
Toby, would you tell Mike
what you just told me?
41
00:03:32,007 --> 00:03:35,761
I was the one who leaked
the information...
42
00:03:36,567 --> 00:03:41,038
...about the classified
military space shuttle...
43
00:03:41,207 --> 00:03:44,279
...to Greg Brock
of The New York Times.
44
00:03:46,087 --> 00:03:47,645
Where's Oliver Babish?
45
00:03:48,927 --> 00:03:50,246
Out to dinner.
46
00:03:51,927 --> 00:03:53,997
I'll need the key to your office.
47
00:03:58,647 --> 00:04:00,478
- Where are you going?
- Key's on my desk.
48
00:04:00,647 --> 00:04:03,957
I'll have to ask you to accompany me
directly to the Roosevelt Room.
49
00:04:04,287 --> 00:04:07,404
You'll need to wait there quietly
while I retrieve your key...
50
00:04:07,567 --> 00:04:11,606
...lock your office and post a uniformed
Secret Service agent at the door.
51
00:04:11,967 --> 00:04:15,118
That needs to happen right now.
52
00:05:16,847 --> 00:05:18,599
We're going to need the room.
53
00:05:18,767 --> 00:05:20,439
There was nothing on the schedule.
54
00:05:20,607 --> 00:05:24,043
Yeah. We're going to be
needing the room.
55
00:05:24,207 --> 00:05:26,277
Sure. Absolutely.
56
00:05:37,727 --> 00:05:39,445
I'll be back as quickly as I can.
57
00:05:40,167 --> 00:05:42,476
I'll have to ask you
not to speak to anyone...
58
00:05:42,647 --> 00:05:45,480
...about anything in my absence.
59
00:05:45,647 --> 00:05:48,115
Every conversation you have
from this point forward...
60
00:05:48,287 --> 00:05:50,005
...only increases the witness list.
61
00:05:57,207 --> 00:05:59,084
- Watch a movie.
- We land in 40 minutes.
62
00:05:59,247 --> 00:06:01,966
- Watch part of a movie.
- I have to eat my vegetables.
63
00:06:02,127 --> 00:06:04,357
Something we can do together.
64
00:06:04,527 --> 00:06:07,280
Our own machines, headphones,
how are we doing it together?
65
00:06:07,447 --> 00:06:10,484
It'd be a shared experience.
Remember those?
66
00:06:10,647 --> 00:06:13,798
I have to scan this stump speech
for racial code words.
67
00:06:13,967 --> 00:06:15,958
- Really?
- This black professor's saying...
68
00:06:16,127 --> 00:06:18,357
...the section about immigrants
is code for:
69
00:06:18,527 --> 00:06:19,880
"The black underclass is lazy."
70
00:06:20,047 --> 00:06:21,241
- He's got a point.
- He doesn't.
71
00:06:21,407 --> 00:06:23,796
You're not gonna solve
interracial sensitivity in 40 minutes.
72
00:06:23,967 --> 00:06:25,639
Honey, I have to do this.
73
00:06:25,807 --> 00:06:28,367
- All work and no play.
- You calling me a dull boy?
74
00:06:28,527 --> 00:06:29,801
Were you saying something?
75
00:06:29,967 --> 00:06:31,719
Try not doing that
in front of the electorate.
76
00:06:31,887 --> 00:06:34,924
Headphones should be a plus.
You hate when I talk in movies.
77
00:06:35,087 --> 00:06:37,806
You'll just get louder.
You're not gonna fool me.
78
00:06:37,967 --> 00:06:40,435
Thought you liked it when I got loud.
79
00:06:40,927 --> 00:06:43,646
In this, as in all things,
context is king.
80
00:06:43,807 --> 00:06:45,525
Fine.
81
00:06:46,687 --> 00:06:49,838
Try not doing that in front
of the voters either.
82
00:06:52,767 --> 00:06:54,246
- Charles.
- Commander.
83
00:06:54,407 --> 00:06:55,840
You're a hard man to find.
84
00:06:56,007 --> 00:06:58,077
- You can't be too careful.
- You can, actually.
85
00:06:58,247 --> 00:07:00,442
Whom will I be addressing
in the Situation Room?
86
00:07:00,607 --> 00:07:02,518
No one. You're not going
in the Sit Room.
87
00:07:02,687 --> 00:07:04,962
Tell me what you've got to say,
then I'm going in.
88
00:07:05,127 --> 00:07:07,243
You can't stalk
the White House chief of staff.
89
00:07:07,407 --> 00:07:08,522
She wouldn't return my calls.
90
00:07:08,687 --> 00:07:11,724
She's busy helping run the world.
I doubt she calls her mother back.
91
00:07:11,887 --> 00:07:15,402
Mother's dead and father's Alzheimer's
is so bad he wouldn't know she called.
92
00:07:15,567 --> 00:07:17,319
Do you try to come off this creepy?
93
00:07:17,487 --> 00:07:20,081
As a strategy for getting people
to take you seriously...
94
00:07:20,247 --> 00:07:21,760
...it leaves a bit to be desired.
95
00:07:21,927 --> 00:07:24,885
Do you have any idea how thoroughly
I could get you bounced?
96
00:07:25,047 --> 00:07:26,162
I was right, wasn't I?
97
00:07:26,327 --> 00:07:28,124
"Thank you for letting me
keep my job...
98
00:07:28,287 --> 00:07:30,562
...which means everything to me,
as you can see."
99
00:07:30,727 --> 00:07:32,126
I was right.
100
00:07:32,287 --> 00:07:34,926
Before we discuss how right
you are, were or have been...
101
00:07:35,087 --> 00:07:38,523
...I need a vow you'll never ambush
a senior White House official again.
102
00:07:39,807 --> 00:07:41,604
- I'm waiting.
- Fine.
103
00:07:41,767 --> 00:07:45,157
Thank you. Now let's discuss
this assassination in Kazakhstan.
104
00:07:46,807 --> 00:07:48,081
I reached Oliver Babish.
105
00:07:48,247 --> 00:07:51,398
He says you owe him
a raspberry panna cotta cheesecake.
106
00:07:51,567 --> 00:07:54,286
- He'll live.
- Longer, probably.
107
00:07:54,447 --> 00:07:56,756
It's morning in Jerusalem.
108
00:07:56,927 --> 00:07:59,441
You wanted to call
about the Farad funeral.
109
00:07:59,607 --> 00:08:01,723
Right, right.
110
00:08:04,967 --> 00:08:07,197
So you want me to...?
111
00:08:07,367 --> 00:08:10,120
Yeah. Let's do that.
112
00:08:14,767 --> 00:08:17,679
I didn't want to.
I tried not to say anything that...
113
00:08:17,847 --> 00:08:19,041
- I'm sorry?
- The...
114
00:08:19,207 --> 00:08:22,756
The committee. I hope my testimony
didn't make things more difficult for you.
115
00:08:22,927 --> 00:08:25,361
- Don't worry.
- Lf I caused you any problems...
116
00:08:25,527 --> 00:08:27,245
I'm sure you didn't.
117
00:08:30,007 --> 00:08:33,158
I'll... I'll place that call.
118
00:08:40,407 --> 00:08:42,523
- Toby, got a minute?
- No.
119
00:08:42,687 --> 00:08:44,564
We wanted your take
on these OMB numbers.
120
00:08:44,727 --> 00:08:46,126
Go away.
121
00:08:46,687 --> 00:08:48,564
Okay. I'll leave them on your...
122
00:08:48,727 --> 00:08:50,206
Go!
123
00:08:52,167 --> 00:08:53,486
What's wrong with "vigorous"?
124
00:08:53,647 --> 00:08:55,558
Sounds like we're taking
a shot at Bartlet.
125
00:08:55,727 --> 00:08:58,195
We're not running against him.
We're running against Methuselah.
126
00:08:58,367 --> 00:09:02,406
Vigorous isn't the opposite of old,
it's the opposite of vigorlessness.
127
00:09:02,567 --> 00:09:04,842
It's gonna come off
like we're referencing the MS.
128
00:09:05,007 --> 00:09:06,281
That's a win-win in my book.
129
00:09:06,447 --> 00:09:08,438
Arnold Vinick isn't some
broken-down Feeb...
130
00:09:08,607 --> 00:09:10,802
...doddering from one
campaign stop to the next.
131
00:09:10,967 --> 00:09:12,923
He's got more energy than I do.
132
00:09:13,087 --> 00:09:15,999
He is inconveniently spry.
133
00:09:16,167 --> 00:09:17,520
- Use that.
- What?
134
00:09:17,687 --> 00:09:19,120
Spry.
135
00:09:19,287 --> 00:09:22,120
It's a word that's only used
to describe old people.
136
00:09:22,287 --> 00:09:25,723
Ever hear of anyone under the age of 70
who's ever been called spry?
137
00:09:25,887 --> 00:09:28,276
Says old guy versus young guy
without mentioning age.
138
00:09:28,447 --> 00:09:31,041
Just got the new tracking numbers.
Nine and holding.
139
00:09:31,207 --> 00:09:34,119
Couple weeks ago you were doing
cartwheels over being nine down.
140
00:09:34,287 --> 00:09:37,643
- That was a couple weeks ago.
- With the margin of error, it could be six.
141
00:09:37,807 --> 00:09:40,605
When the polls spit out the same number
day in and day out...
142
00:09:40,767 --> 00:09:43,520
...it's time to stop talking
margins of error.
143
00:09:43,687 --> 00:09:45,166
Nine points is nine points.
144
00:09:45,327 --> 00:09:47,761
That's what I thought then,
but you all were so happy.
145
00:09:47,927 --> 00:09:50,680
So, basically, you've been wrong
about this twice now.
146
00:10:17,447 --> 00:10:19,836
It's Alana. Please leave a message.
147
00:10:20,007 --> 00:10:21,725
Alana.
148
00:10:22,287 --> 00:10:24,198
Toby Ziegler.
149
00:10:25,127 --> 00:10:28,915
As my attorney, you should
probably know that I just confessed...
150
00:10:30,327 --> 00:10:33,842
...to C.J. Cregg
that I was behind the leak.
151
00:10:35,127 --> 00:10:37,436
I'm about to be debriefed
by White House Counsel.
152
00:10:37,607 --> 00:10:41,043
- You left him in a room with a phone?
- I'll talk to you tomorrow.
153
00:10:42,927 --> 00:10:45,282
- Toby.
- Oliver.
154
00:10:45,447 --> 00:10:48,007
- Who were you talking to?
- My attorney's voicemail.
155
00:10:48,527 --> 00:10:50,438
My instructions were
that you sit quietly.
156
00:10:50,607 --> 00:10:52,245
Pretty sure I used my indoor voice.
157
00:10:52,407 --> 00:10:54,716
Who else have you called
or spoken to?
158
00:10:54,887 --> 00:10:57,162
- No one. Ed and Larry.
- Who?
159
00:10:57,327 --> 00:11:00,478
They wanted to run something by me.
I told them to go away.
160
00:11:00,647 --> 00:11:02,797
Did you discuss the leak
or the investigation?
161
00:11:02,967 --> 00:11:06,323
We didn't discuss anything.
I was curt and dismissive, as instructed.
162
00:11:06,487 --> 00:11:08,478
I need their full names and extensions.
163
00:11:09,087 --> 00:11:12,841
- They were here maybe 10 seconds.
- Mike's gonna need to speak with them.
164
00:11:26,727 --> 00:11:28,240
Thanks.
165
00:11:40,007 --> 00:11:42,123
You're in some trouble.
166
00:11:43,447 --> 00:11:46,120
- I'm personally truly sorry about that.
- Thank you.
167
00:11:46,287 --> 00:11:49,120
Unfortunately, at the moment,
that is of incidental concern...
168
00:11:49,287 --> 00:11:51,243
...in my capacity
as White House Counsel.
169
00:11:51,407 --> 00:11:53,921
You've put this administration
into difficulty.
170
00:11:54,087 --> 00:11:55,839
So my immediate
professional concern...
171
00:11:56,007 --> 00:11:58,840
...is whether you've put the president
into jeopardy as well.
172
00:11:59,527 --> 00:12:02,041
So I'm gonna have
some questions for you.
173
00:12:02,607 --> 00:12:04,518
Get comfortable.
174
00:12:05,327 --> 00:12:06,726
We're gonna be here for a bit.
175
00:12:10,567 --> 00:12:13,877
Were you the sole individual
involved in leaking this?
176
00:12:14,047 --> 00:12:15,321
Yes.
177
00:12:15,487 --> 00:12:19,116
Did anyone instruct you
to leak this information?
178
00:12:19,287 --> 00:12:20,845
No.
179
00:12:21,007 --> 00:12:22,360
Anyone suggest you leak it?
180
00:12:22,527 --> 00:12:23,926
No.
181
00:12:24,087 --> 00:12:25,361
- Hint?
- No.
182
00:12:25,527 --> 00:12:27,358
Nudge, wink?
183
00:12:29,207 --> 00:12:31,516
Did anyone employ
nonverbal means of any kind...
184
00:12:31,687 --> 00:12:36,124
...to suggest in an explicit or implicit
fashion that you leak this information?
185
00:12:36,287 --> 00:12:40,758
No, it was conceived and executed
solely and completely on my own.
186
00:12:41,407 --> 00:12:44,319
- Tell anyone you were planning this?
- No.
187
00:12:44,487 --> 00:12:46,478
Discuss that you were
considering doing so?
188
00:12:46,647 --> 00:12:48,080
No.
189
00:12:50,407 --> 00:12:52,716
Did you speculate to anyone...
190
00:12:52,887 --> 00:12:57,961
...that an individual might be inclined
to contemplate making such a leak?
191
00:13:01,847 --> 00:13:04,361
- We're gonna be here for a while.
- Answer the question.
192
00:13:04,527 --> 00:13:07,087
No, I didn't speak to anyone,
at any time...
193
00:13:07,247 --> 00:13:09,966
...of any scenario involving myself
or someone else...
194
00:13:10,127 --> 00:13:13,358
...thinking, planning, dreaming
or having an out-of-body experience...
195
00:13:13,527 --> 00:13:15,961
...related to the making
of this sort of leak.
196
00:13:16,487 --> 00:13:18,443
That's cute, the out-of-body thing.
197
00:13:18,607 --> 00:13:22,520
But I don't recommend it with the FBI
or the Congressional Committee...
198
00:13:22,687 --> 00:13:25,963
...the federal prosecutor or any
of the people who'll be following me.
199
00:13:28,967 --> 00:13:31,925
- That was lovely.
- I have to call Zahavy.
200
00:13:32,087 --> 00:13:34,806
I don't blame him for not wanting
to go to Farad's funeral.
201
00:13:34,967 --> 00:13:38,084
Wish you didn't have to go.
Isn't that what vice presidents are for?
202
00:13:38,247 --> 00:13:39,646
- No.
- Then what good are they?
203
00:13:39,807 --> 00:13:41,923
The two I've had?
An enduring mystery.
204
00:13:42,087 --> 00:13:43,486
God, I'm exhausted.
205
00:13:43,647 --> 00:13:46,161
You haven't forgotten that Ellie
and Vic are coming by?
206
00:13:46,327 --> 00:13:48,966
No, our daughter is getting engaged
to the fruit-fly guy.
207
00:13:49,127 --> 00:13:50,446
He's a research scientist.
208
00:13:50,607 --> 00:13:53,485
Stop making him sound
like something out of a horror film.
209
00:13:53,647 --> 00:13:56,445
Did you know that fruit flies
reproduce at a prodigious rate?
210
00:13:56,607 --> 00:13:58,643
You've been whining
about more grandchildren.
211
00:13:58,807 --> 00:14:01,401
I meant that they're just more
than usually enthusiastic.
212
00:14:01,567 --> 00:14:03,762
- All right.
- In fact, they make bunnies...
213
00:14:03,927 --> 00:14:05,519
...look like dysfunctional prudes.
214
00:14:05,687 --> 00:14:07,518
That's our daughter
you're talking about.
215
00:14:07,687 --> 00:14:09,040
Indeed.
216
00:14:09,207 --> 00:14:12,040
Yeah. How about that?
217
00:14:12,207 --> 00:14:14,402
- Are you...?
- A little. What about you?
218
00:14:14,567 --> 00:14:17,445
- Astonished, actually.
- Why, did you and she never discuss...?
219
00:14:17,607 --> 00:14:20,326
There are things that are outside
the mother-daughter bond.
220
00:14:20,487 --> 00:14:22,000
At least for us. Did you and she?
221
00:14:22,167 --> 00:14:24,806
Always adhered to a strict
"don't ask, don't tell" policy.
222
00:14:24,967 --> 00:14:27,162
- Clung to it, actually.
- That is one's daughter.
223
00:14:27,327 --> 00:14:30,319
- Wants her to be happy in whatever...
- Of course, true to herself.
224
00:14:30,487 --> 00:14:32,603
- Nothing wrong with that inclination.
- Nothing.
225
00:14:32,767 --> 00:14:34,280
God herself may strike me dead...
226
00:14:34,447 --> 00:14:36,756
...it is not to be denied
that I am not unhappy...
227
00:14:36,927 --> 00:14:39,043
...that my daughter
is straight after all.
228
00:14:39,207 --> 00:14:42,085
At least straight enough
to be marrying the fruit-fly guy.
229
00:14:44,607 --> 00:14:47,724
Someone in the Texas AG's office
has obtained the medical records...
230
00:14:47,887 --> 00:14:50,526
...of 120 women who had abortions
in three clinics there.
231
00:14:50,687 --> 00:14:52,598
- Tell me not in Houston.
- And San Antonio.
232
00:14:52,807 --> 00:14:56,004
The pretext is looking for unreported
cases of sexual abuse and rape.
233
00:14:56,167 --> 00:14:58,078
- Smoke screen.
- We've fooled with language.
234
00:14:58,247 --> 00:14:59,839
- We're not commenting.
- We have to.
235
00:15:00,007 --> 00:15:02,396
- It's a state matter.
- The congressman's home state.
236
00:15:02,567 --> 00:15:04,603
- I'm familiar with the bio.
- It violates Roe.
237
00:15:04,767 --> 00:15:06,678
- How important is Texas?
- Pretty important.
238
00:15:06,847 --> 00:15:10,476
No. With Vinick's lock on California,
this is the whole B.O.W.
239
00:15:10,967 --> 00:15:11,956
Ball of wax.
240
00:15:12,127 --> 00:15:14,846
Why wade into an issue that's
not gonna gain us any voters?
241
00:15:15,007 --> 00:15:17,396
All it costs is people
who weren't gonna vote for us.
242
00:15:17,567 --> 00:15:20,001
We don't need them to vote.
We need them to stay home.
243
00:15:20,167 --> 00:15:23,159
Pro-lifers don't like Vinick
any more than us. Why energize them?
244
00:15:23,327 --> 00:15:25,079
- Let this sleeping dog lie.
- Crazy.
245
00:15:25,247 --> 00:15:27,807
We're Democrats.
Come out for a woman's right to choose.
246
00:15:27,967 --> 00:15:31,118
- Ever had an abortion?
- A little personal, don't you think?
247
00:15:31,287 --> 00:15:34,518
Don't talk to me about
what we have to do on this subject.
248
00:15:34,687 --> 00:15:36,564
Whatever you say.
249
00:15:38,367 --> 00:15:40,597
- I was thinking while you were asleep.
- I wasn't.
250
00:15:40,767 --> 00:15:43,440
Really? With the drooling
and the muttering to yourself...
251
00:15:43,607 --> 00:15:45,996
...which might be described
as a schizophrenic episode...
252
00:15:46,167 --> 00:15:48,476
...I'd go with you were sleeping.
- Okay.
253
00:15:48,647 --> 00:15:50,922
The campaign's stagnating
because the numbers are.
254
00:15:51,087 --> 00:15:54,602
Doldrums. Horse latitudes.
It's still mid-August. Wind will pick up.
255
00:15:54,767 --> 00:15:58,555
You and I need to be a wind that blows
through the staff, carries a bunch away.
256
00:15:58,727 --> 00:16:00,877
Way to stick with
the meteorological metaphor.
257
00:16:01,047 --> 00:16:03,356
Still, it's a little hysterical.
258
00:16:03,527 --> 00:16:05,438
- This group isn't cutting it.
- We're fine.
259
00:16:05,607 --> 00:16:07,837
The advance team
went to Springfield, Illinois...
260
00:16:08,007 --> 00:16:11,204
...for an event in Springfield, Missouri.
- Every campaign has bumps.
261
00:16:11,367 --> 00:16:13,119
We need experienced hands.
Look around.
262
00:16:13,287 --> 00:16:14,606
We're heavy on the wide-eyed.
263
00:16:14,767 --> 00:16:17,645
We got a young staff.
Guess what, we're Democrats.
264
00:16:17,807 --> 00:16:20,560
Vinick's got grownups.
We're running a children's crusade.
265
00:16:20,727 --> 00:16:23,844
It got a virtual unknown
the Democratic presidential nomination.
266
00:16:24,007 --> 00:16:26,043
Now it's got him tracking
nine points down...
267
00:16:26,207 --> 00:16:28,084
...which is a loss,
and not a small one.
268
00:16:28,247 --> 00:16:31,045
Start firing, it's gonna look
like the campaign's in trouble.
269
00:16:31,207 --> 00:16:32,845
It is. It'll look like we noticed.
270
00:16:33,047 --> 00:16:35,925
- A first pass at the staff list.
- That's a lot of names.
271
00:16:36,087 --> 00:16:38,237
Anyone you wanna fight for?
272
00:16:38,407 --> 00:16:40,443
- Ned?
- He's not built for this.
273
00:16:40,607 --> 00:16:43,644
Been with the congressman forever.
Santos will never let me can him.
274
00:16:43,807 --> 00:16:47,038
He's gotta go. It'll kill morale
if you fire these people and keep him.
275
00:16:47,207 --> 00:16:50,005
- So don't fire anyone.
- Keep whistling past the graveyard.
276
00:16:50,167 --> 00:16:53,682
It'll be your future gets buried when
you preside over a 49-state wipeout.
277
00:16:55,407 --> 00:16:57,204
Can't leave before
the boss leaves. You?
278
00:16:57,367 --> 00:16:59,164
Time and assassinations
wait for no one.
279
00:16:59,327 --> 00:17:01,522
- Pithy.
- Putting out a line of twisted samplers.
280
00:17:01,687 --> 00:17:03,439
- When's your turn?
- With the committee?
281
00:17:03,607 --> 00:17:05,598
Friday. But if they spent
all day on you...
282
00:17:05,767 --> 00:17:09,123
Really looking forward to things
getting back to normal around here.
283
00:17:17,367 --> 00:17:19,756
Did you have any conversations
with the president...
284
00:17:19,927 --> 00:17:21,565
...regarding a military shuttle?
285
00:17:21,727 --> 00:17:23,126
No.
286
00:17:23,287 --> 00:17:26,359
Participate in any group discussions
that included the president?
287
00:17:26,527 --> 00:17:27,801
No.
288
00:17:27,967 --> 00:17:31,562
Did you have any internal White House
conversations with anyone at any time...
289
00:17:31,727 --> 00:17:36,039
...about the United States possessing
a classified military space shuttle?
290
00:17:42,607 --> 00:17:44,006
Yes.
291
00:17:46,247 --> 00:17:47,760
With whom?
292
00:17:53,607 --> 00:17:55,837
Who'd you talk about it with, Toby?
293
00:17:56,487 --> 00:17:58,318
C.J. Cregg.
294
00:17:59,887 --> 00:18:00,876
Frost thinks...
295
00:18:01,047 --> 00:18:03,038
I know what Frost thinks.
About everything.
296
00:18:03,207 --> 00:18:05,596
If it rains, Frost thinks
al Qaeda seeded the clouds.
297
00:18:05,767 --> 00:18:07,678
- Why do you keep him?
- He's a good analyst.
298
00:18:07,847 --> 00:18:09,485
Good analysts spend time
being wrong.
299
00:18:09,647 --> 00:18:12,320
Funny, we like our guys to be right.
Different strokes.
300
00:18:12,487 --> 00:18:15,559
Are there extremists who dream
of a China-to-Spain caliphate? Sure.
301
00:18:15,727 --> 00:18:18,366
They'll start by assassinating
the Palestinian chairman...
302
00:18:18,527 --> 00:18:20,404
...and the president of Kazakhstan?
Come on.
303
00:18:32,767 --> 00:18:35,679
Margaret, will you call Leo for me?
304
00:18:37,447 --> 00:18:38,960
When you spoke to Greg Brock...
305
00:18:39,127 --> 00:18:41,197
... you were aware
you were speaking on record?
306
00:18:41,367 --> 00:18:42,846
I'm the communications director.
307
00:18:43,007 --> 00:18:46,079
I have an understanding of protocol
when speaking with journalists.
308
00:18:46,247 --> 00:18:48,124
- That would be a yes.
- An "of course."
309
00:18:48,287 --> 00:18:51,677
And your intention in conveying this
information was that it be published?
310
00:18:51,847 --> 00:18:54,441
- Yes.
- You were aware this was classified?
311
00:18:54,607 --> 00:18:56,120
Excuse me?
312
00:18:56,927 --> 00:18:58,804
Answer the question.
313
00:18:58,967 --> 00:19:04,087
You're asking me if I knew that
the military space shuttle was classified?
314
00:19:04,247 --> 00:19:06,636
One of the most closely held
pieces of information...
315
00:19:06,807 --> 00:19:09,116
...in my seven and a half years
in the White House?
316
00:19:09,287 --> 00:19:11,084
Which no one would
so much as hint at...
317
00:19:11,247 --> 00:19:14,239
...much less acknowledge,
much less ever actually discuss?
318
00:19:14,407 --> 00:19:17,922
Which revelation of same caused
a governmental security crisis...
319
00:19:18,087 --> 00:19:19,964
...international consternation...
320
00:19:20,127 --> 00:19:22,561
...and the launching
of three separate investigations?
321
00:19:22,727 --> 00:19:25,446
You're asking me
if I realized it was classified?
322
00:19:25,607 --> 00:19:27,199
Yeah, I had a vague inkling.
323
00:19:27,647 --> 00:19:29,877
Were you authorized
to have this information?
324
00:19:30,047 --> 00:19:31,844
Alana Waterman, Mr. Babish.
325
00:19:32,007 --> 00:19:33,281
I'm Mr. Ziegler's attorney.
326
00:19:33,447 --> 00:19:37,042
I must inform Counsel that my client
will not be answering further questions.
327
00:19:37,207 --> 00:19:39,118
- It's okay...
- It's most certainly not okay.
328
00:19:39,287 --> 00:19:40,766
And you're to say anything else.
329
00:19:40,927 --> 00:19:43,566
I'm really getting fed up
with lawyers ordering me around.
330
00:19:43,727 --> 00:19:46,844
Should've considered that before
passing state secrets to reporters.
331
00:19:47,007 --> 00:19:49,123
Did you leak to anyone
other than Greg Brock?
332
00:19:49,287 --> 00:19:50,515
- Do not answer that.
- No.
333
00:19:50,687 --> 00:19:52,837
If I may have a word
in private with my client?
334
00:19:56,047 --> 00:19:58,038
I'll be right outside.
335
00:20:03,967 --> 00:20:07,755
I really appreciate your concern,
but I am taking full responsibility...
336
00:20:07,927 --> 00:20:10,487
...and I am prepared and ready
to face the consequences.
337
00:20:10,647 --> 00:20:12,763
- That's very noble and very stupid.
- Thank you.
338
00:20:12,927 --> 00:20:14,280
You have to listen to me now.
339
00:20:14,447 --> 00:20:16,517
If you were truly
the only one involved...
340
00:20:16,687 --> 00:20:17,961
- I was.
- That's unfortunate.
341
00:20:18,127 --> 00:20:21,517
Because it means you have no bigger fish
to turn over to the prosecutor...
342
00:20:21,687 --> 00:20:23,518
...which is what he will be looking for.
343
00:20:23,687 --> 00:20:26,326
And would've been the best
and fastest way to make a deal.
344
00:20:26,487 --> 00:20:28,682
- I don't care about that.
- Well, it's my job to.
345
00:20:28,847 --> 00:20:31,122
We're not starting
with a lot of bargaining chips.
346
00:20:31,287 --> 00:20:33,642
And we have less
every time you open your mouth.
347
00:20:33,807 --> 00:20:35,604
- I'm not looking to cut a deal.
- Really?
348
00:20:35,767 --> 00:20:38,156
The last time I checked,
the sentencing guidelines...
349
00:20:38,327 --> 00:20:42,843
...even for a first-time offender,
were 63 to 78 months' jail time.
350
00:20:43,007 --> 00:20:46,204
Sixty-three to 78? How do they come up
with those numbers? Dartboard?
351
00:20:46,367 --> 00:20:48,642
- You have an obligation...
- Don't bring up my kids!
352
00:20:48,807 --> 00:20:51,640
When you hire someone like me,
you take on a responsibility...
353
00:20:51,807 --> 00:20:53,081
...to my reputation.
354
00:20:53,247 --> 00:20:54,839
If you decide you wanna go down...
355
00:20:55,007 --> 00:20:58,920
...in some quasi-orgasmic blaze
of self-pitying, self-destructive...
356
00:20:59,087 --> 00:21:01,726
...self-aggrandizing attempted glory...
357
00:21:01,887 --> 00:21:04,560
...all anyone's gonna say is,
"How did Alana Waterman...
358
00:21:04,727 --> 00:21:07,799
...that smart, tough, savvy
Washington infighter...
359
00:21:07,967 --> 00:21:12,245
...let her client do something
so crushingly boneheaded moronic...
360
00:21:12,407 --> 00:21:15,285
...as to get himself six years in jail?"
361
00:21:16,847 --> 00:21:20,044
Now you have a decision to make.
If you want me to continue...
362
00:21:20,207 --> 00:21:23,040
...as your attorney when the
White House Counsel re-enters...
363
00:21:23,207 --> 00:21:25,767
...you either decline to answer
any further questions...
364
00:21:25,927 --> 00:21:30,398
...or you watch me walk not only
out of this room but off the case.
365
00:21:42,807 --> 00:21:44,923
Who first informed you
of the existence...
366
00:21:45,087 --> 00:21:46,759
...of a classified space shuttle?
367
00:22:02,367 --> 00:22:04,961
I decline to answer
on the advice of counsel.
368
00:22:07,887 --> 00:22:09,445
Please wait here.
369
00:22:19,447 --> 00:22:21,119
You certainly earned
your fee today.
370
00:22:22,367 --> 00:22:26,246
I'm deeply gratified
that you decided to heed my guidance.
371
00:22:26,407 --> 00:22:29,797
No, I just meant it was the first time
tonight he used the word "please."
372
00:22:39,527 --> 00:22:42,439
If you're done for the night,
you should probably go home.
373
00:22:42,607 --> 00:22:44,199
Excuse me.
374
00:22:46,327 --> 00:22:47,806
- C.J.
- All right, catch me up.
375
00:22:47,967 --> 00:22:49,764
Commander Harper's
been entertaining us.
376
00:22:49,927 --> 00:22:52,805
Given the hour, I'm not sure
entertaining is the right word...
377
00:22:52,967 --> 00:22:55,401
...with her theory on the assassination
in Kazakhstan.
378
00:22:55,567 --> 00:22:57,922
Mr. Secretary,
your customary default acerbity...
379
00:22:58,087 --> 00:23:01,716
...which some may characterize as snide,
but I never fail to find delightful...
380
00:23:01,887 --> 00:23:04,196
...is not the right tone
for my mood this evening.
381
00:23:04,607 --> 00:23:06,165
Now, would you catch me up?
382
00:23:06,327 --> 00:23:09,444
Assassination's been a historic tactic
of Russian security services.
383
00:23:09,607 --> 00:23:11,518
I feel we should look in their direction.
384
00:23:11,687 --> 00:23:15,282
- The Russians and the Kazakhs are allies.
- Kazakhstan's cozying up to Beijing.
385
00:23:15,447 --> 00:23:17,802
They announced the establishment
of a partnership.
386
00:23:17,967 --> 00:23:20,686
On top of the oil pipeline
they agreed to build to China.
387
00:23:20,847 --> 00:23:24,556
When they announced this, they stressed
it wasn't directed against a third party.
388
00:23:24,727 --> 00:23:27,400
- Doth protesting perhaps a bit much.
- You buying this?
389
00:23:27,607 --> 00:23:29,757
- We're catching her up.
- Moscow's not thrilled.
390
00:23:29,927 --> 00:23:33,442
It's not only competitive with Russia's
oil interests, but it's emblematic...
391
00:23:33,607 --> 00:23:35,086
...of China's growing dominance.
392
00:23:35,247 --> 00:23:37,238
Who takes over Kazakhstan
with Issetov dead?
393
00:23:37,407 --> 00:23:41,082
- Constitutionally, Prime Minister Tarimov.
- Who has ties that go back to Moscow.
394
00:23:41,247 --> 00:23:44,717
Russia's interests are directly
served by removing the sitting president.
395
00:23:44,887 --> 00:23:47,276
- What will the Chinese do?
- That's the question.
396
00:23:47,647 --> 00:23:50,559
Russia and China eyeball to eyeball
in Central Asia.
397
00:23:50,727 --> 00:23:53,400
- Over oil.
- With 900 U.S. Marines...
398
00:23:53,567 --> 00:23:55,637
...stuck right in the middle.
399
00:24:01,127 --> 00:24:02,640
Oh, God.
400
00:24:02,807 --> 00:24:04,638
This is so scary.
401
00:24:04,807 --> 00:24:06,923
- Congressman, you got a minute?
- Yeah, sure.
402
00:24:09,607 --> 00:24:11,916
- What's she watching?
- That latest Rob Zombie film.
403
00:24:12,087 --> 00:24:13,361
Seems to be enjoying it.
404
00:24:13,887 --> 00:24:15,479
- I guess.
- You a big Rob Zombie fan?
405
00:24:15,647 --> 00:24:17,877
I prefer his earlier, funnier movies.
406
00:24:19,167 --> 00:24:21,158
Lou and I have been discussing
the staff.
407
00:24:21,687 --> 00:24:23,200
- What about them?
- Making changes.
408
00:24:23,367 --> 00:24:24,800
Are you kidding me?
409
00:24:24,967 --> 00:24:26,241
She's not talking to you.
410
00:24:26,407 --> 00:24:29,524
The campaign's not hitting
on all cylinders.
411
00:24:29,687 --> 00:24:32,485
- Could be time for a course correction.
- How many people?
412
00:24:32,687 --> 00:24:34,518
- About 45.
- You can't be serious.
413
00:24:37,527 --> 00:24:40,121
- You can't do that.
- That's a lot of people.
414
00:24:40,287 --> 00:24:43,723
- Look like panic.
- We'll bring in experienced operatives.
415
00:24:43,887 --> 00:24:45,161
Have we been turning them away?
416
00:24:45,327 --> 00:24:47,761
"You can't work for us,
you have too much experience."
417
00:24:47,927 --> 00:24:49,883
- We need to make changes.
- Are we panicked?
418
00:24:50,047 --> 00:24:51,799
No. Of course not.
419
00:24:53,127 --> 00:24:54,685
Well, you're running this thing.
420
00:24:54,847 --> 00:24:57,441
It is a big layoff
and it's gonna get noted in the press.
421
00:24:57,607 --> 00:25:00,075
- But if you think it's needed.
- I do.
422
00:25:01,007 --> 00:25:02,725
One of the people is Ned Carlson.
423
00:25:02,887 --> 00:25:04,957
- What?
- I know he's been with you a long time.
424
00:25:05,127 --> 00:25:07,766
- I'm sure he was a real asset.
- You can't fire Ned.
425
00:25:07,927 --> 00:25:09,724
He is not cut out for this.
426
00:25:09,887 --> 00:25:11,639
The pace. Thinking fast on your feet.
427
00:25:11,807 --> 00:25:14,401
Send him back
to the Congressional office.
428
00:25:14,567 --> 00:25:17,604
And we will get him something
in the administration once we're in.
429
00:25:17,767 --> 00:25:20,839
- Matt.
- Anyone not getting the job done...
430
00:25:21,007 --> 00:25:22,360
...is gonna go.
431
00:25:25,847 --> 00:25:27,678
Do you wanna be the one to tell him?
432
00:25:27,847 --> 00:25:29,838
You can take care of it.
433
00:25:35,487 --> 00:25:36,806
Mrs. Santos.
434
00:25:36,967 --> 00:25:39,356
That's how far I got
before his attorney intervened.
435
00:25:39,527 --> 00:25:41,245
Do you feel you got the whole story?
436
00:25:41,527 --> 00:25:44,644
He said he discussed the existence
of the military shuttle with you.
437
00:25:44,807 --> 00:25:46,081
He did.
438
00:25:46,247 --> 00:25:48,442
- Direct him to leak the information?
- I did not.
439
00:25:48,607 --> 00:25:49,881
- Urge it?
- No.
440
00:25:50,047 --> 00:25:51,036
Subtly hint?
441
00:25:51,207 --> 00:25:54,244
Absolutely not. Why, did Toby
give any indication that I had?
442
00:25:54,407 --> 00:25:55,965
No.
443
00:25:56,407 --> 00:25:57,681
His account matches yours.
444
00:25:57,847 --> 00:26:01,237
- It's important all stories are in sync.
- They are because it's the truth.
445
00:26:01,407 --> 00:26:04,444
Have you discussed this with anyone
since Mike and you last spoke?
446
00:26:04,607 --> 00:26:05,881
No.
447
00:26:06,047 --> 00:26:09,244
No comment on what's going on
in the Roosevelt Room or Toby's office?
448
00:26:09,407 --> 00:26:10,681
Of course not.
449
00:26:10,847 --> 00:26:12,917
- Others you encountered will so testify?
- Yes.
450
00:26:13,087 --> 00:26:15,555
- Spoken to anyone outside the building?
- No.
451
00:26:15,727 --> 00:26:18,366
And the White House phone logs
will so confirm?
452
00:26:19,527 --> 00:26:21,518
I placed a call to Leo McGarry.
453
00:26:25,167 --> 00:26:26,725
For what purpose?
454
00:26:28,567 --> 00:26:31,604
- For what purpose, C.J.?
- I didn't reach him.
455
00:26:33,367 --> 00:26:36,996
But had you, was your intention
to discuss the fact that Toby Ziegler...
456
00:26:37,167 --> 00:26:39,442
...was the White House leak?
- I didn't reach him.
457
00:26:39,607 --> 00:26:41,916
He and you should be very glad
about that.
458
00:26:42,527 --> 00:26:44,199
What, if any, message did you leave?
459
00:26:44,367 --> 00:26:47,803
I told Margaret not to leave any.
That it wasn't anything important.
460
00:26:48,367 --> 00:26:51,439
- Were those your exact words?
- I don't know.
461
00:26:52,487 --> 00:26:54,876
I may have said not to even mention
that I called.
462
00:26:56,967 --> 00:26:59,003
You have between now
and tomorrow morning...
463
00:26:59,167 --> 00:27:01,886
...when I imagine the first question
will come about this...
464
00:27:02,287 --> 00:27:05,438
...to consider whether you had a reason
to phone Leo this evening...
465
00:27:05,647 --> 00:27:08,241
...other than discussing
courses of action...
466
00:27:08,407 --> 00:27:11,046
...in dealing with this news
regarding Toby Ziegler.
467
00:27:11,207 --> 00:27:14,563
Which might to outsiders
appear like consideration of a cover-up.
468
00:27:18,607 --> 00:27:20,165
It's time to tell the president.
469
00:27:22,807 --> 00:27:25,196
What will be the recommendation
of the Counsel?
470
00:27:25,927 --> 00:27:27,201
The same as yours.
471
00:27:30,687 --> 00:27:32,006
Congratulations.
472
00:27:32,167 --> 00:27:33,964
Honestly, that ring, it's lovely.
473
00:27:34,127 --> 00:27:37,039
- You don't think it's too big?
- Oh, there's no such thing, dear.
474
00:27:37,447 --> 00:27:39,722
Almost got you a rebate there.
475
00:27:39,887 --> 00:27:43,402
I only wish I could've afforded
an even bigger one.
476
00:27:44,367 --> 00:27:47,803
I wanna hear all about the proposal.
Tell me everything.
477
00:27:47,967 --> 00:27:52,597
We went for a mountain bike ride
to a secluded spot in Rock Creek Park.
478
00:27:52,767 --> 00:27:55,156
We did it there. I did it there.
479
00:27:55,687 --> 00:27:57,245
- Romantic.
- Very.
480
00:27:57,407 --> 00:27:59,796
The two of us
and my Secret Service detail.
481
00:28:00,967 --> 00:28:03,083
When are you thinking
about having the wedding?
482
00:28:03,247 --> 00:28:05,477
- As soon as possible.
- We don't wanna distract...
483
00:28:05,647 --> 00:28:08,764
...from the election, of course,
but any time after that could work.
484
00:28:08,927 --> 00:28:10,599
A White House wedding at Christmas?
485
00:28:10,767 --> 00:28:12,485
I don't think she wants that.
486
00:28:12,647 --> 00:28:14,160
- What?
- To do it here.
487
00:28:14,327 --> 00:28:15,726
What could be more wonderful?
488
00:28:15,887 --> 00:28:18,685
Undoubtedly a White House wedding
would be very beautiful...
489
00:28:18,847 --> 00:28:21,759
...and terribly romantic,
but it would be quite a spectacle.
490
00:28:21,927 --> 00:28:25,363
Out of all of us, Ellie's been the one
who's shied away from the spotlight.
491
00:28:25,527 --> 00:28:27,518
Why don't you consider
having the wedding...
492
00:28:27,687 --> 00:28:29,882
...after your father's
left the office entirely?
493
00:28:30,047 --> 00:28:33,244
Sure. If you wanna turn your back
on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
494
00:28:33,407 --> 00:28:36,205
Hopefully, the wedding
is the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
495
00:28:36,367 --> 00:28:38,961
You would seriously consider
not getting married in here?
496
00:28:39,127 --> 00:28:41,322
You could do something
very private at the farm.
497
00:28:41,487 --> 00:28:45,560
Where, at the moment,
is the less pressing concern.
498
00:28:45,727 --> 00:28:49,117
There's another consideration
that may need to take precedence...
499
00:28:49,287 --> 00:28:50,606
...as far as scheduling goes.
500
00:28:53,327 --> 00:28:56,239
And, you know...
501
00:28:56,407 --> 00:28:59,843
...why we might not wanna wait.
502
00:29:06,967 --> 00:29:13,236
Well, we should probably
get right on to scheduling that, then.
503
00:29:13,407 --> 00:29:16,365
I'm sorry for the interruption,
Mr. President, ma'am, Ellie.
504
00:29:16,527 --> 00:29:21,885
Nancy, this is our new
son-in-law to be, Vic Faison.
505
00:29:22,327 --> 00:29:24,443
Nice to meet you. Congratulations.
506
00:29:24,607 --> 00:29:26,006
Thank you. Thank you so much.
507
00:29:26,167 --> 00:29:28,806
Sir, C.J. And Oliver Babish
would like to speak with you.
508
00:29:29,007 --> 00:29:30,963
Of course. Excuse me, please.
509
00:29:38,407 --> 00:29:41,638
- Self-aggrandizing and self-destructive?
- I was trying to make a point.
510
00:29:41,807 --> 00:29:43,718
Quasi-orgasmic might have been
a bit much.
511
00:29:43,887 --> 00:29:47,118
A little colorful rhetoric.
Occupational hazard. Why'd you do it?
512
00:29:49,407 --> 00:29:51,125
Save lives.
513
00:29:51,287 --> 00:29:53,596
Your brother was an astronaut.
514
00:29:54,767 --> 00:29:56,405
Astronauts' lives in the short term.
515
00:29:56,567 --> 00:29:59,764
Start a discussion about whether
we wanna extend mankind's capacity...
516
00:29:59,927 --> 00:30:02,760
...for warfare into the heavens.
- The weaponization of space.
517
00:30:02,927 --> 00:30:05,725
I believe in an open society.
You debate in the light of day.
518
00:30:05,887 --> 00:30:07,718
That's supposed
to happen in a democracy.
519
00:30:07,887 --> 00:30:10,959
Global pacifism, freedom of information.
These are things people...
520
00:30:11,127 --> 00:30:13,846
...will rally around. We can get a lot
of lefty support.
521
00:30:14,007 --> 00:30:17,920
- College campuses, Hollywood...
- Good. Help defray my legal expenses.
522
00:30:18,087 --> 00:30:20,203
- I'm serious.
- So am I. I know what you charge.
523
00:30:20,367 --> 00:30:23,086
A couple of well-placed editorials,
some cable news spots...
524
00:30:23,247 --> 00:30:27,718
...public demonstrations. This could be
very helpful. Certainly not gonna hurt.
525
00:30:28,127 --> 00:30:29,640
Won't keep me out of jail.
526
00:30:29,807 --> 00:30:34,119
There's a lesser criminal statute:
35 USC, 799, which makes it...
527
00:30:34,287 --> 00:30:37,597
...a misdemeanor to disobey a regulation
set forth by the administrator.
528
00:30:37,767 --> 00:30:41,442
Penalty's likely a fine.
No more than a year's jail time.
529
00:30:42,247 --> 00:30:45,603
Yeah, I know, it's a little
pie in the sky around the edges.
530
00:30:51,607 --> 00:30:54,041
Keep thinking, counselor.
It's what you're good at.
531
00:31:21,087 --> 00:31:22,486
Toby?
532
00:31:27,047 --> 00:31:30,801
Is it possible to be astonished
and at the same time not surprised?
533
00:31:30,967 --> 00:31:34,118
I've debriefed him, sir.
It seems to have involved no one else.
534
00:31:34,287 --> 00:31:37,165
Obviously, there will be
a partisan push to probe past Toby...
535
00:31:37,327 --> 00:31:39,602
...to cause us and
the Santos campaign difficulty.
536
00:31:39,767 --> 00:31:41,917
The fact there's
no there there should limit...
537
00:31:42,087 --> 00:31:44,078
...the other side's ability
to get traction.
538
00:31:44,247 --> 00:31:47,956
The political fallout
is not my first concern.
539
00:31:49,727 --> 00:31:51,365
We should move quickly, sir.
540
00:31:51,527 --> 00:31:55,725
Oliver's pointed out that not only do we
not want the appearance of a cover-up...
541
00:31:55,887 --> 00:31:58,526
...we don't want the appearance
of having considered...
542
00:31:58,687 --> 00:32:00,962
...anything but full
and immediate disclosure.
543
00:32:01,767 --> 00:32:03,917
I'll make a statement.
544
00:32:05,327 --> 00:32:06,965
And Toby.
545
00:32:07,127 --> 00:32:09,516
- I'll take care of that, sir.
- No.
546
00:32:10,927 --> 00:32:12,326
Bring him here.
547
00:32:12,487 --> 00:32:16,196
Respectfully, Mr. President, you
shouldn't be in the room with Toby.
548
00:32:16,847 --> 00:32:20,999
He's radioactive, sir.
Potentially toxic to the presidency.
549
00:32:21,807 --> 00:32:24,526
Thank you for your counsel,
but I have to do this myself.
550
00:32:24,687 --> 00:32:27,360
Then I have to insist on being present.
551
00:32:31,527 --> 00:32:33,563
- Give me a moment.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
552
00:32:33,727 --> 00:32:35,001
Thank you, sir.
553
00:32:47,247 --> 00:32:51,206
God.
See, this is what puts people off.
554
00:32:51,367 --> 00:32:53,881
Lurking. No one likes a lurker.
555
00:32:54,047 --> 00:32:56,641
- How'd it go in there?
- For your theory? Not well.
556
00:32:56,807 --> 00:32:59,799
- I think there's a better one.
- It can't be better if it's wrong.
557
00:32:59,967 --> 00:33:02,197
- Good night, Charles.
- The pattern is so obvious.
558
00:33:02,367 --> 00:33:07,202
Children, even kindergartners would see.
I'm trying to save everyone's jobs, okay?
559
00:33:07,567 --> 00:33:08,920
What?
560
00:33:09,367 --> 00:33:11,437
All right, your theory. What is it?
Tell me.
561
00:33:16,967 --> 00:33:18,446
It's a pretty scary scenario.
562
00:33:18,607 --> 00:33:21,167
Leads to Russia and China
on the brink of confrontation.
563
00:33:21,327 --> 00:33:24,524
Neighboring nuclear powers,
India and Pakistan, poised to pick sides.
564
00:33:24,687 --> 00:33:27,804
Japan and the U.S. Being drawn in
against their will. A horror show.
565
00:33:27,967 --> 00:33:30,003
World War III nightmare.
566
00:33:31,047 --> 00:33:32,605
Very cool.
567
00:33:33,407 --> 00:33:34,760
You wanna grab coffee?
568
00:33:40,887 --> 00:33:43,526
Ned. Hang out a minute.
569
00:33:47,647 --> 00:33:49,683
What's up?
570
00:33:57,207 --> 00:33:58,481
Am I in trouble?
571
00:33:58,647 --> 00:34:00,683
You know, this kind of thing
is never easy...
572
00:34:00,847 --> 00:34:03,566
...but we've decided to make a change.
- Sorry?
573
00:34:03,727 --> 00:34:07,242
We're shaking up the staff,
and you're one of the people...
574
00:34:07,407 --> 00:34:09,796
...we're gonna let go. I'm sorry.
- You're joking.
575
00:34:09,967 --> 00:34:12,037
- I'm not.
- You're firing me?
576
00:34:12,207 --> 00:34:14,277
It's reassignment
to the Congressional office.
577
00:34:14,447 --> 00:34:15,766
No.
578
00:34:15,927 --> 00:34:18,202
You don't fire me.
Does the congressman know this?
579
00:34:18,367 --> 00:34:20,244
He signed off on it, yeah.
580
00:34:20,407 --> 00:34:22,443
I'm really gonna have to
hear it from him.
581
00:34:22,607 --> 00:34:25,724
He's going to the meet and greet
and then, I really hope, to bed.
582
00:34:26,327 --> 00:34:28,158
Well, he's gonna need
to find some time.
583
00:34:28,327 --> 00:34:29,601
Listen to me.
584
00:34:29,767 --> 00:34:32,964
Talking to the congressman
isn't gonna change anything.
585
00:34:34,167 --> 00:34:37,125
- I wanna thank you for all your work.
- Screw you.
586
00:34:40,687 --> 00:34:44,441
You know, you can fire
as many of us grunts as you want.
587
00:34:44,607 --> 00:34:48,077
But you wanna know why this campaign
is floundering, look in the mirror.
588
00:34:53,527 --> 00:34:54,846
C.J.?
589
00:34:55,007 --> 00:34:57,601
Something break
in the leak investigation?
590
00:34:59,247 --> 00:35:01,522
Since I'm supposed to be heading it...
591
00:35:02,287 --> 00:35:05,165
I can't talk about this right now.
592
00:35:07,967 --> 00:35:10,276
I feel like I owe you an apology.
593
00:35:10,687 --> 00:35:14,316
You don't. And I really can't
discuss this right now.
594
00:35:20,167 --> 00:35:22,920
The president wants to see you.
Just Toby.
595
00:35:23,087 --> 00:35:24,839
I'm afraid I have a problem with that.
596
00:35:25,007 --> 00:35:27,396
You didn't just invite yourself
into the Oval Office.
597
00:35:27,567 --> 00:35:30,286
I request that the courtesy
of an invitation be extended...
598
00:35:30,447 --> 00:35:32,961
...to Mr. Ziegler's attorney,
or my client's not going.
599
00:35:33,127 --> 00:35:35,083
- It's okay.
- Toby.
600
00:35:35,247 --> 00:35:37,203
It's all right. Go home.
601
00:35:50,967 --> 00:35:52,446
Yeah?
602
00:36:00,767 --> 00:36:02,519
Mr. President.
603
00:36:03,207 --> 00:36:04,799
Toby.
604
00:36:05,807 --> 00:36:08,321
I was hoping we would be able
to speak in private, sir.
605
00:36:09,607 --> 00:36:12,041
Your actions have pretty much
made that impossible.
606
00:36:12,207 --> 00:36:14,437
I haven't had much time
to absorb this news...
607
00:36:14,607 --> 00:36:18,566
...so I'll apologize in advance
if I express any half-formed thoughts.
608
00:36:18,727 --> 00:36:24,324
But the one thought that hits the hardest
is that this was somehow inevitable.
609
00:36:25,087 --> 00:36:27,760
That you've always been heading
for this crash and burn.
610
00:36:27,927 --> 00:36:30,521
That self-righteous superiority.
611
00:36:30,727 --> 00:36:33,241
Not that you were smarter
than everyone.
612
00:36:33,407 --> 00:36:34,999
That you were purer.
613
00:36:35,167 --> 00:36:36,759
Morally superior.
614
00:36:39,287 --> 00:36:42,245
With due respect, sir, I don't think
I'm morally superior to everyone.
615
00:36:42,407 --> 00:36:45,638
No. Just to me.
616
00:36:48,207 --> 00:36:50,562
Sir, I've drawn up a letter
of resignation.
617
00:36:52,567 --> 00:36:54,000
What is that, the third one?
618
00:36:57,727 --> 00:36:59,240
Rip it up.
619
00:37:00,087 --> 00:37:01,486
Sir?
620
00:37:01,647 --> 00:37:04,559
I can't accept your resignation.
621
00:37:05,207 --> 00:37:07,357
I have to fire you.
622
00:37:09,887 --> 00:37:11,639
For cause.
623
00:37:14,847 --> 00:37:17,407
You'll need to turn in your credentials.
624
00:37:17,567 --> 00:37:21,082
A guard will come to escort you
from the building immediately.
625
00:37:21,247 --> 00:37:23,203
You may not take anything out
with you.
626
00:37:23,367 --> 00:37:25,642
All personal effects will be sent
to your home...
627
00:37:25,807 --> 00:37:29,720
...after Counsel staff has cataloged
the contents of your office.
628
00:37:37,327 --> 00:37:39,397
Thank you, Mr. President.
629
00:37:43,247 --> 00:37:45,078
Toby.
630
00:37:46,367 --> 00:37:49,006
When you walk out of here,
there'll be people out there...
631
00:37:49,167 --> 00:37:52,239
...perhaps a great many,
who will think of you as a hero.
632
00:37:53,047 --> 00:37:56,437
I just don't for a moment
want you thinking I'll be one of them.
633
00:38:08,687 --> 00:38:10,325
Hey.
634
00:38:10,687 --> 00:38:12,439
Is he in?
635
00:38:16,887 --> 00:38:18,161
C.J. Cregg to see you.
636
00:38:18,327 --> 00:38:19,601
Thanks.
637
00:38:19,767 --> 00:38:21,564
- Hey.
- Hey. What's up?
638
00:38:21,727 --> 00:38:23,718
I'm offering...
639
00:38:24,567 --> 00:38:26,762
Well, not so much offering
as dragooning you...
640
00:38:26,927 --> 00:38:31,079
...to be the new White House
communications director. Starting now.
641
00:38:31,247 --> 00:38:34,319
I'll smooth things over with the VP,
but first you should know...
642
00:38:34,487 --> 00:38:36,478
...the president's
making a statement in...
643
00:38:36,647 --> 00:38:38,763
...3 or so minutes,
in which he'll announce...
644
00:38:38,927 --> 00:38:42,715
...that Toby Ziegler has been fired for an
egregious national security violation.
645
00:38:42,927 --> 00:38:46,158
Termination taking place within
the hour of Mr. Ziegler's confession...
646
00:38:46,327 --> 00:38:48,079
...of responsibility for this act.
647
00:38:48,527 --> 00:38:51,200
Does the president want me
to help with the statement?
648
00:38:51,367 --> 00:38:53,801
I think he's got a good handle
on what he's gonna say.
649
00:38:53,967 --> 00:38:58,040
Counsel sealed Toby's office,
so feel free to use Annabeth's old one.
650
00:38:59,487 --> 00:39:01,717
Which, come to think of it,
used to be yours.
651
00:39:01,887 --> 00:39:04,082
Funny how things work out.
652
00:39:04,247 --> 00:39:05,885
Not so funny, really.
653
00:39:06,047 --> 00:39:08,561
No. Not so much.
654
00:39:10,527 --> 00:39:13,405
News on the upcoming election
of Congressman Matthew Santos...
655
00:39:23,207 --> 00:39:25,084
Rough in there.
656
00:39:25,927 --> 00:39:27,918
To be expected.
657
00:39:29,287 --> 00:39:32,324
Thought he'd thank you
for your service.
658
00:39:33,527 --> 00:39:35,279
He's angry.
659
00:39:37,967 --> 00:39:39,923
Someone should thank you
for your service.
660
00:39:44,847 --> 00:39:47,759
Mr. Ziegler?
I'll need your hard pass, sir.
661
00:39:52,087 --> 00:39:54,043
If you'll come with me.
662
00:39:59,327 --> 00:40:00,646
Good evening.
663
00:40:00,807 --> 00:40:04,720
Less than an hour ago, White House
communications director Toby Ziegler...
664
00:40:04,887 --> 00:40:07,321
... confessed to making
