Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,748 --> 00:00:07,316
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:07,487 --> 00:00:10,126
I can't accept your resignation.
3
00:00:10,807 --> 00:00:13,844
I have to fire you. For cause.
4
00:00:14,007 --> 00:00:15,998
Who takes over Kazakhstan
with Issetov dead?
5
00:00:16,207 --> 00:00:19,438
Russia's interests are directly
served by removing the sitting president.
6
00:00:19,647 --> 00:00:22,844
You and me, a real debate.
On the issues. Just you and me.
7
00:00:23,047 --> 00:00:26,084
- Hell of a way to end your campaign.
- Oh, I'm just getting started.
8
00:00:26,287 --> 00:00:29,165
An unthinking liberal will
describe the airline bankruptcies...
9
00:00:29,327 --> 00:00:31,522
...as the evil capitalists
screwing the worker...
10
00:00:31,687 --> 00:00:34,599
- You shouldn't put words in my mouth.
- I know you didn't say it.
11
00:00:34,767 --> 00:00:38,077
- You're not an unthinking liberal.
- When you hurl that word "liberal"...
12
00:00:38,247 --> 00:00:42,001
...at my feet as if it were dirty,
something I should be ashamed of...
13
00:00:42,207 --> 00:00:45,358
...it won't work. Because I will
pick up that label and wear it...
14
00:00:45,527 --> 00:00:46,562
...as a badge of honor.
15
00:00:51,247 --> 00:00:54,444
- Go ahead.
- Forty-six percent of voters polled say...
16
00:00:54,607 --> 00:00:58,122
...they have a more favorable opinion of
you than they did before the debate.
17
00:00:58,287 --> 00:01:01,404
CNN-USA Today poll calls the
debate a tie. So does Newsweek.
18
00:01:03,567 --> 00:01:04,966
- She's running the dryer.
- Yes.
19
00:01:05,127 --> 00:01:06,924
- Makes it hard to hear.
- Yes, it does.
20
00:01:09,847 --> 00:01:12,122
- He's running the hair dryer.
- Wish I didn't know.
21
00:01:12,287 --> 00:01:13,686
Sorry, one more time.
22
00:01:13,847 --> 00:01:17,442
CNN-USA Today poll calls the debate a
tie. So does Newsweek. We now have...
23
00:01:17,647 --> 00:01:20,844
...43 percent of eligible voters.
You're only seven points down.
24
00:01:21,007 --> 00:01:24,124
- You're a rock star.
- You got four points. Vinick got two.
25
00:01:24,287 --> 00:01:26,198
What happened to
"We go up, he goes down"?
26
00:01:26,367 --> 00:01:29,200
You're pulling from undecideds.
He went up, we went up more.
27
00:01:29,367 --> 00:01:32,086
- This is the schedule for the weekend...
- Stick it in my bag.
28
00:01:32,247 --> 00:01:35,444
- Bus is here. We gotta move.
- What was average SMT this week?
29
00:01:35,647 --> 00:01:38,400
Bram clocks this. He rounds up
because he's got money on it.
30
00:01:38,567 --> 00:01:40,046
- Ninety-two minutes.
- It's a lie.
31
00:01:40,247 --> 00:01:41,805
- SMT?
- Santos Mean Time.
32
00:01:41,967 --> 00:01:43,320
Ninety-two minutes late?
33
00:01:43,487 --> 00:01:46,797
The notion that I'm the problem is
convenient but completely fallacious.
34
00:01:47,007 --> 00:01:49,237
This is a national campaign.
Think I'm driving?
35
00:01:49,407 --> 00:01:52,638
Wednesday, 12:55, six extra
press questions after we call it.
36
00:01:52,847 --> 00:01:56,203
- It was a conversation.
- Just look at the schedule and see...
37
00:01:56,367 --> 00:01:58,597
...if it's something you
think you can commit to.
38
00:01:58,767 --> 00:02:01,884
And initial. At the bottom.
39
00:02:02,327 --> 00:02:03,999
- What's CS?
- Change shirt.
40
00:02:04,167 --> 00:02:06,635
- Every two hours?
- It's for the sweating.
41
00:02:06,807 --> 00:02:09,526
- Too many women in here.
- Nothing we haven't talked about.
42
00:02:09,727 --> 00:02:12,321
- Today, Denver. Tomorrow, L.A.
- Wasn't that last weekend?
43
00:02:12,487 --> 00:02:16,366
We canceled for the debate, which was
also a personal addition to the schedule.
44
00:02:16,567 --> 00:02:18,922
- Four points up.
- Lou, can I get you for a second?
45
00:02:19,127 --> 00:02:21,197
- On the bus?
- You should talk to Scheduling.
46
00:02:21,367 --> 00:02:24,120
I'm getting press calls on a
black kid killed last night...
47
00:02:24,287 --> 00:02:25,959
...by L.A. Police.
- What do we know?
48
00:02:26,127 --> 00:02:27,958
Nothing yet,
but the community's reeling.
49
00:02:28,127 --> 00:02:29,845
We need a statement on this soon.
50
00:02:30,047 --> 00:02:31,958
We're at the Page Church
in L.A. Tomorrow.
51
00:02:32,127 --> 00:02:35,039
Might be good to be in a black
church. Show we feel their pain.
52
00:02:35,247 --> 00:02:38,080
- Get some traction in the community.
- We need it. Our bump...
53
00:02:38,287 --> 00:02:39,845
...wasn't a bump in black voters.
54
00:02:40,047 --> 00:02:42,402
This is the updated stump.
Want to give it a look?
55
00:02:42,567 --> 00:02:44,125
Yeah.
56
00:02:45,487 --> 00:02:46,840
- Lou.
- Hang on.
57
00:02:47,007 --> 00:02:50,682
I don't see why African Americans don't
like the idea of a Latino president.
58
00:02:50,887 --> 00:02:53,447
A little black-brown friction in the 'hood.
59
00:02:53,607 --> 00:02:56,326
- Haven't seen that.
- You're a Venezuelan from Princeton.
60
00:02:56,527 --> 00:02:58,916
- This is fine.
- Sorry, Lou. Gerard in Scheduling...
61
00:02:59,087 --> 00:03:01,999
...was considering a bigger change.
I think he may be right.
62
00:03:02,167 --> 00:03:06,285
Gerard is obsessive and should be
taking slow breaths out of a paper bag.
63
00:03:06,447 --> 00:03:08,165
I think you may want to call him.
64
00:03:08,367 --> 00:03:11,165
- What's the cop's name?
- We're late because you spend time...
65
00:03:11,327 --> 00:03:13,477
...listening to people like Gerard.
- Donna.
66
00:03:13,927 --> 00:03:15,121
What's the officer's name?
67
00:03:16,087 --> 00:03:17,236
Rafael Martinez.
68
00:03:19,407 --> 00:03:21,637
Yeah, that's what I was afraid of.
69
00:03:25,007 --> 00:03:26,804
Get me Josh Lyman at HQ...
70
00:03:27,007 --> 00:03:30,079
...Annabeth Schott on the McGarry
plane and Gerard from Scheduling.
71
00:04:18,447 --> 00:04:20,244
- Mr. Bailey.
- And a good morning to you.
72
00:04:20,407 --> 00:04:22,967
- You were here last Saturday.
- You too. Here for lunch?
73
00:04:23,127 --> 00:04:25,038
We could order something
soggy in plastic.
74
00:04:25,207 --> 00:04:27,675
Hope to go soon. I need to see
Ellie and the fiance...
75
00:04:27,847 --> 00:04:30,361
...sort out wedding stuff.
- Didn't know that's part...
76
00:04:30,527 --> 00:04:32,802
...of your job.
- The social secretary should...
77
00:04:32,967 --> 00:04:37,040
...but Ellie doesn't know her, and she
already feels it's like an act of Congress.
78
00:04:37,207 --> 00:04:40,722
I saw her band's playlist for the
reception. We may need to adjust it.
79
00:04:40,887 --> 00:04:43,640
- Too many double entendres?
- I worry about single entendres.
80
00:04:43,807 --> 00:04:45,763
World stage. Shadow of our forefathers.
81
00:04:45,927 --> 00:04:46,916
I'll get into it.
82
00:04:47,127 --> 00:04:51,405
Polling data released today suggest
that Sunday's debate may have...
83
00:04:51,567 --> 00:04:53,842
- In the Mural Room.
- Remember how we used to talk?
84
00:04:54,007 --> 00:04:56,441
- Everything you need is here.
- I told you not to come.
85
00:04:56,607 --> 00:04:58,086
That never works out.
86
00:04:58,247 --> 00:05:02,763
We're squabbling with Fish and Wildlife
on the salmon flow schedule...
87
00:05:02,927 --> 00:05:06,397
...so she should think about
sea bass or perhaps a trout.
88
00:05:06,567 --> 00:05:10,446
Sea bass is endangered. Whitman does
a great swordfish. That would be nice.
89
00:05:10,607 --> 00:05:13,201
- Let's stay with trout.
- Nobody wants trout at a wedding.
90
00:05:13,367 --> 00:05:17,042
- It's not festive.
- It's flavorful and under-appreciated.
91
00:05:17,207 --> 00:05:21,166
- No swordfish or tuna or Brie.
- You know, this isn't your wedding.
92
00:05:21,327 --> 00:05:23,841
Take my word for it
because you're a busy woman...
93
00:05:24,007 --> 00:05:26,999
...and sometimes you don't need
more information than I give you.
94
00:05:27,167 --> 00:05:28,725
I'll push the trout.
95
00:05:28,887 --> 00:05:30,843
Great idea.
96
00:05:32,767 --> 00:05:36,885
- Look at you. Congratulations.
- Thank you.
97
00:05:37,047 --> 00:05:38,480
It's so exciting.
98
00:05:38,647 --> 00:05:40,842
- Have you met Vic? C.J. Cregg.
- It's a pleasure.
99
00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:44,079
- Hi. Thank you.
- I'm sorry you're here on a weekend.
100
00:05:44,247 --> 00:05:47,364
Bad enough you have to coordinate
with three branches of government.
101
00:05:47,527 --> 00:05:49,677
Anything I can do to help. Sit, please.
102
00:05:50,087 --> 00:05:51,725
- Excuse me.
- We're not at the trout.
103
00:05:51,887 --> 00:05:53,923
- Kate Harper.
- No, she doesn't know I'm here.
104
00:05:54,127 --> 00:05:56,357
Imagine her delight when she learned.
105
00:05:57,127 --> 00:05:59,960
- One minute.
- Ten minutes. Just a guess.
106
00:06:00,127 --> 00:06:02,436
- Surrogates on the Sunday shows.
- What do they say?
107
00:06:02,607 --> 00:06:04,996
- They're saying he won.
- Do they have talking points?
108
00:06:07,127 --> 00:06:08,719
You'll have language
to proof soon.
109
00:06:08,887 --> 00:06:10,002
- Hey.
- Hi, Lester.
110
00:06:10,167 --> 00:06:12,476
- What do we know?
- I'm waiting on more from L.A.P.D...
111
00:06:12,647 --> 00:06:15,207
...but it's a 12-year-old black male
named Ronnie Burke.
112
00:06:15,367 --> 00:06:18,006
He's passenger side in a stolen
Escalade, 11 at night...
113
00:06:18,167 --> 00:06:22,683
...gets out holding a weapon, made of
plastic, though it looks pretty darn real.
114
00:06:22,847 --> 00:06:24,724
- The cop is Latino?
- Oh, yeah.
115
00:06:24,887 --> 00:06:26,957
No way he could have
known the gun was fake?
116
00:06:27,127 --> 00:06:31,643
Probably not. But a bystander is claiming
the kid was trying to put up his hands...
117
00:06:31,807 --> 00:06:33,798
...to surrender when the officer fired.
118
00:06:34,007 --> 00:06:36,680
- Anyone corroborate that?
- Won't matter, it's on the news.
119
00:06:36,887 --> 00:06:40,562
- People are gonna assume it's true.
- There were demonstrations last night.
120
00:06:40,767 --> 00:06:42,519
There'll be more this morning.
121
00:06:42,887 --> 00:06:44,240
What do you think?
122
00:06:45,807 --> 00:06:48,367
It was gonna be a tough crowd
even before this happened.
123
00:06:48,527 --> 00:06:51,166
Black community's wondering
how we got a Latino nominee...
124
00:06:51,327 --> 00:06:53,363
...before we got an
African American nominee.
125
00:06:53,527 --> 00:06:56,166
Always been tension between
the two communities and...
126
00:06:56,327 --> 00:06:59,080
...now a cop named Martinez
guns down one of their kids.
127
00:06:59,247 --> 00:07:02,284
Two days later we send our guy
to their church to stump for votes.
128
00:07:02,447 --> 00:07:06,565
If he shows up and pulls off a tap dance
on the head of a pin, great. If not...
129
00:07:06,767 --> 00:07:08,883
- You may be getting on a plane.
- I had a hunch.
130
00:07:09,047 --> 00:07:11,959
Should've sent you in the first place.
Don't know why I didn't.
131
00:07:12,127 --> 00:07:14,800
You can't send me every time
he'll talk to a black person.
132
00:07:15,007 --> 00:07:17,202
I'm prepared to reconsider that.
133
00:07:18,487 --> 00:07:21,001
I'm doing Ellie Bartlet a favor.
I'm not really here.
134
00:07:21,167 --> 00:07:24,000
NSC just got a call. There's
a China-Russia-Kazakhstan thing.
135
00:07:24,167 --> 00:07:26,203
- Okay.
- My office is to send up the briefing.
136
00:07:26,407 --> 00:07:29,205
- It's not here yet.
- Let's go for the nutshell.
137
00:07:29,367 --> 00:07:32,439
Tarimov just booted a Chinese
government delegation out. He's...
138
00:07:32,607 --> 00:07:34,279
The acting president of Kazakhstan.
139
00:07:34,447 --> 00:07:36,403
Installed after Issetov was assassinated.
140
00:07:36,607 --> 00:07:39,360
They were negotiating
a China-Kazakhstan partnership...
141
00:07:39,687 --> 00:07:42,247
...making plans for a pipeline
from Kazakhstan to China.
142
00:07:42,447 --> 00:07:44,403
- And Issetov called it off.
- Tarimov.
143
00:07:44,607 --> 00:07:46,563
- Tarimov did. Issetov's dead.
- Yes.
144
00:07:46,727 --> 00:07:49,639
Issetov wanted to deal with the
Chinese. Tarimov, the Russians.
145
00:07:49,807 --> 00:07:51,923
He killed China's oil deal,
and China's pissed.
146
00:07:52,087 --> 00:07:53,361
Exceptionally.
147
00:07:53,527 --> 00:07:56,041
- Margaret.
- Sorry, I was golfing.
148
00:07:56,247 --> 00:07:57,760
- You golf?
- Mini.
149
00:07:58,767 --> 00:08:00,962
Josh, it's the bus.
150
00:08:01,127 --> 00:08:02,116
Morning.
151
00:08:02,327 --> 00:08:03,601
- Is Lester there?
- Yeah.
152
00:08:03,767 --> 00:08:06,440
- I don't think we should go.
- Are you getting skittish?
153
00:08:06,847 --> 00:08:09,236
A lot of angry people.
We could push it a week.
154
00:08:09,407 --> 00:08:12,843
- We pushed last week for the debate.
- He's got flu, rickets, anything.
155
00:08:13,007 --> 00:08:15,805
- We are not canceling.
- I don't think you wanna be booed...
156
00:08:15,967 --> 00:08:17,559
...by churchgoers.
- They won't boo.
157
00:08:17,767 --> 00:08:21,123
Let's go to the house and pay our
respects to the mother. Less booing.
158
00:08:21,327 --> 00:08:23,557
It'll look like
we're exploiting their grief.
159
00:08:23,727 --> 00:08:25,957
- The mayor's doing it.
- He has a relationship...
160
00:08:26,127 --> 00:08:28,846
...with the community.
They won't notice if he exploits it.
161
00:08:29,007 --> 00:08:31,362
But if he exploits and
we don't, we look callous.
162
00:08:31,567 --> 00:08:34,035
Chance I'm willing to take.
I'm going to the church.
163
00:08:34,927 --> 00:08:39,045
Lou, call Joe Farley at the mayor's
office. See if he'll help us out...
164
00:08:39,247 --> 00:08:42,557
... keeping him away from the house.
Lester's on his way... Where are you?
165
00:08:42,767 --> 00:08:45,201
- Denver.
- Sir, foreign policy team's waiting.
166
00:08:45,407 --> 00:08:47,875
- Are we making any statements?
- All we say now is:
167
00:08:48,047 --> 00:08:51,676
"This is a terrible situation. Congressman
hopes he can provide some support...
168
00:08:51,847 --> 00:08:54,805
...on his visit tomorrow."
- What's he gonna say tomorrow?
169
00:08:55,007 --> 00:08:56,998
Good question.
170
00:08:59,367 --> 00:09:00,880
- I was summoned?
- You were.
171
00:09:01,087 --> 00:09:04,159
Talk to Ellie about whatever problems
you're having with her music.
172
00:09:04,367 --> 00:09:06,597
- Now?
- I was to be in there, but Kate happened.
173
00:09:06,767 --> 00:09:08,837
- I thought you could help.
- I was working.
174
00:09:09,007 --> 00:09:10,565
- I was golfing.
- Mini.
175
00:09:11,447 --> 00:09:13,438
I've mastered the windmill shot.
176
00:09:13,647 --> 00:09:15,205
- It's a hard one.
- Hole in one.
177
00:09:15,407 --> 00:09:17,682
Five minutes, then I'm out of there.
178
00:09:24,327 --> 00:09:25,282
What?
179
00:09:25,487 --> 00:09:27,364
Something we needed to talk about?
180
00:09:27,527 --> 00:09:29,040
Yes, the music.
181
00:09:29,207 --> 00:09:31,926
Schrodinger's Cats. A band
I played with in grad school.
182
00:09:32,087 --> 00:09:33,600
Reunion show at the White House.
183
00:09:33,767 --> 00:09:36,201
They do weddings
and bar mitzvahs all the time.
184
00:09:36,367 --> 00:09:38,005
- Great.
- It's better than it sounds.
185
00:09:38,167 --> 00:09:40,920
It would have to be.
They sent us a copy of the playlist.
186
00:09:41,087 --> 00:09:43,362
We're wondering
if we can pull some things.
187
00:09:43,567 --> 00:09:46,127
- Is there a problem?
- Well, is "Baby Got Back"...
188
00:09:46,287 --> 00:09:48,721
...something you're
particularly attached to?
189
00:09:50,727 --> 00:09:53,719
I can't bully the Russian foreign
minister because the Chinese...
190
00:09:53,887 --> 00:09:55,479
...got bounced out of an oil deal.
191
00:09:55,647 --> 00:09:58,525
Tarimov is acting president.
He called off the elections.
192
00:09:58,727 --> 00:10:00,922
- He suspended them.
- Suspended them weeks ago...
193
00:10:01,087 --> 00:10:03,237
...and hasn't rescheduled.
He's a puppet.
194
00:10:03,447 --> 00:10:07,235
China was getting in the door, so he
halts negotiation and kicks them out.
195
00:10:07,407 --> 00:10:09,238
Kazakhstan isn't China's
only oil source.
196
00:10:09,407 --> 00:10:11,921
Their most promising.
The Kazakh people are rioting...
197
00:10:12,087 --> 00:10:14,476
...because they've been
screwed out of an election.
198
00:10:14,647 --> 00:10:18,401
China's looking at major instability
on their border. And the 300,000...
199
00:10:18,607 --> 00:10:21,201
...Chinese living in Kazakhstan,
who aren't looking safe.
200
00:10:21,367 --> 00:10:24,757
All because the Russians want the oil
and are willing to fight for it.
201
00:10:24,927 --> 00:10:27,964
Best case scenario, I'm ruining
your Saturday. Worst case...
202
00:10:28,127 --> 00:10:30,925
...two nuclear powers are positioning
themselves to engage...
203
00:10:31,087 --> 00:10:32,645
...in an armed conflict over oil.
204
00:10:34,607 --> 00:10:36,484
Ted Barrow's on his way.
205
00:10:36,687 --> 00:10:41,078
Margaret, see if you can track down
the Russian foreign minister.
206
00:10:48,967 --> 00:10:52,596
First they cut taxes, and then they
never get around to cutting spending...
207
00:10:52,767 --> 00:10:55,679
... so they run up huge deficits,
and they leave a massive debt...
208
00:10:55,847 --> 00:10:57,724
- There we go.
- What's the time code?
209
00:10:59,247 --> 00:11:02,444
35:02. Send a copy to Josie at CNN
and ask her to stop running that...
210
00:11:02,647 --> 00:11:04,603
...stupid line about the EPA. Enough.
211
00:11:04,767 --> 00:11:05,756
Ladies.
212
00:11:05,927 --> 00:11:09,636
Welcome. I spoke to the mayor's office
and talked them off a visit to the house.
213
00:11:09,847 --> 00:11:13,283
- At least until tomorrow.
- Get a confirmation or they're thinking?
214
00:11:13,447 --> 00:11:16,120
They like me. I'll call it a confirmation.
215
00:11:16,327 --> 00:11:17,442
- Lou?
- They like you?
216
00:11:17,607 --> 00:11:21,122
- I'm very personable. Goes a long way.
- The mayor's on his way to the house.
217
00:11:21,327 --> 00:11:22,646
- No.
- He's going there now.
218
00:11:22,807 --> 00:11:24,843
They asked if we wanna
coordinate statements.
219
00:11:25,007 --> 00:11:28,602
Put Joe Farley on the phone.
He's a mealy-mouthed, little snot.
220
00:11:28,807 --> 00:11:31,037
This is him. Doesn't seem
to wanna talk to you.
221
00:11:31,247 --> 00:11:33,044
- Personable.
- He didn't have a choice.
222
00:11:33,207 --> 00:11:36,085
- It was a bomb in his own backyard.
- Backs us into a corner.
223
00:11:36,287 --> 00:11:38,596
It was a good idea
to go to the house before.
224
00:11:38,807 --> 00:11:41,082
- Congressman hates it.
- He'll have to get over it.
225
00:11:41,247 --> 00:11:44,956
- We need to cover our bases.
- Okay, Edie, call Secret Service...
226
00:11:45,167 --> 00:11:47,761
...and Advance. Tell them
we may add another stop in L.A.
227
00:11:47,927 --> 00:11:49,360
- What's the mom's name?
- Brenda.
228
00:11:49,527 --> 00:11:52,439
Tell her that Congressman Santos
will be visiting Page Church...
229
00:11:52,607 --> 00:11:55,041
...and can he stop by on his
way and pay his respects.
230
00:11:55,207 --> 00:11:58,404
We won't have time tomorrow.
We have to be at the church by 9 a.m.
231
00:11:58,567 --> 00:12:01,161
We should scrap the afternoon
here and go to L.A. Now.
232
00:12:01,327 --> 00:12:03,557
Be at the house by late
afternoon, early evening.
233
00:12:03,727 --> 00:12:06,400
Let's look into it.
Who's gonna tell the congressman?
234
00:12:06,847 --> 00:12:10,920
- I'm evens.
- Once, twice, three, shoot. Damn.
235
00:12:11,127 --> 00:12:14,642
I covered the music. No offensive
lyrics from Schrodinger's Cats.
236
00:12:14,847 --> 00:12:17,077
- I'm sending them back in.
- That won't work.
237
00:12:17,247 --> 00:12:19,477
They're cleaning the carpets
in the Mural Room.
238
00:12:19,647 --> 00:12:22,605
Problem in Kazakhstan. Nuclear
powers pissing off other ones.
239
00:12:22,767 --> 00:12:24,678
- I need you to stay with them.
- Seriously?
240
00:12:24,847 --> 00:12:27,839
Deal with whatever's first on the list.
I'll take over soon.
241
00:12:28,007 --> 00:12:30,567
- I'm really not your man.
- Margaret laid it all out.
242
00:12:30,727 --> 00:12:32,638
Half hour, tops.
243
00:12:33,207 --> 00:12:35,516
- You ask him?
- I'll ask him on the bus.
244
00:12:35,887 --> 00:12:37,525
- Coward.
- Absolutely.
245
00:12:37,687 --> 00:12:41,521
This is a national story.
The church is gonna be full of cameras.
246
00:12:41,727 --> 00:12:44,036
If blacks stay home on
election day, we're out.
247
00:12:44,247 --> 00:12:47,045
Are you trying to raise my anxiety?
It's already pretty high.
248
00:12:47,207 --> 00:12:49,675
I think we need reinforcements.
249
00:12:51,167 --> 00:12:54,204
Edie, call Annabeth.
Get Leo McGarry on the plane.
250
00:12:54,367 --> 00:12:58,360
- We want backup at the church.
- I'm talking serious reinforcements.
251
00:13:00,247 --> 00:13:01,726
No.
252
00:13:01,887 --> 00:13:04,765
We need 90 percent
of black voters. We've got 81.
253
00:13:04,927 --> 00:13:07,236
Twelve percent
are undecided in this race.
254
00:13:07,407 --> 00:13:11,082
The black vote's never had undecideds.
They're willing to weigh their options...
255
00:13:11,247 --> 00:13:13,317
...on this one because
they don't hate Vinick.
256
00:13:13,487 --> 00:13:16,524
And they're not sure
they like the whole idea of Santos.
257
00:13:16,807 --> 00:13:18,365
This is not a small problem.
258
00:13:25,527 --> 00:13:26,755
Get me Josh, please.
259
00:13:29,247 --> 00:13:32,557
Sorry, hang on. Yeah,
this is pretty straightforward.
260
00:13:32,727 --> 00:13:36,640
C.J. Will be back in a few minutes. She
thought we could get the ball rolling.
261
00:13:36,807 --> 00:13:39,640
Everybody's dream scenario,
me planning your wedding.
262
00:13:40,647 --> 00:13:43,002
Okay, anything I should know
before we get started?
263
00:13:43,167 --> 00:13:46,284
We realize a lot goes with having
a wedding at the White House...
264
00:13:46,447 --> 00:13:49,166
...but anything we can do to keep
the numbers under control?
265
00:13:49,327 --> 00:13:51,477
- Sure.
- My dad has to invite a lot of people...
266
00:13:51,647 --> 00:13:54,764
...but I'm not crazy about the spotlight
and Vic's agoraphobic.
267
00:13:54,927 --> 00:13:56,918
- It's not a phobia.
- I was exaggerating.
268
00:13:57,127 --> 00:14:00,005
- It's the occasional shortness of breath.
- It's really nothing.
269
00:14:00,207 --> 00:14:01,879
Sometimes I pass out.
270
00:14:02,047 --> 00:14:03,958
Okay, let's see what we've got.
271
00:14:04,167 --> 00:14:07,398
"White House invitees."
This looks right. Copy for you.
272
00:14:07,847 --> 00:14:09,565
And you.
273
00:14:09,727 --> 00:14:14,960
And me. Sorry, there's
a second page. Here you go.
274
00:14:15,327 --> 00:14:16,999
Oh, hang on, one more.
275
00:14:18,167 --> 00:14:21,443
And another one. Yeah, that's it.
276
00:14:24,767 --> 00:14:26,200
Okay.
277
00:14:26,407 --> 00:14:30,161
- This has gotta be a thousand names.
- Shall we start with the A's?
278
00:14:30,727 --> 00:14:33,639
The Russians should put
pressure on Issetov to resume talks.
279
00:14:33,807 --> 00:14:35,035
- Tarimov.
- What?
280
00:14:35,207 --> 00:14:37,243
Issetov is dead.
We want pressure on Tarimov.
281
00:14:37,447 --> 00:14:38,926
- Fine, yes.
- They don't want to.
282
00:14:39,127 --> 00:14:42,563
- What do they think at the embassy?
- They want the Russians to talk to him.
283
00:14:42,727 --> 00:14:45,719
- Seems to be the consensus.
- The Russian foreign minister...
284
00:14:45,887 --> 00:14:48,640
...says Tarimov is doing a fine job.
- It's a big, fat lie.
285
00:14:48,847 --> 00:14:50,041
I should've told him that.
286
00:14:50,247 --> 00:14:53,683
You two put in a call to Camp David.
Let the president know where we are.
287
00:14:53,847 --> 00:14:56,645
- I'll see what we can do with China.
- What will you say?
288
00:14:56,847 --> 00:14:58,963
I'm gonna urge them to remain calm.
289
00:14:59,567 --> 00:15:01,523
You got a better idea?
290
00:15:02,967 --> 00:15:06,880
"Newton and Lena Hacket."
Chairman of Senate Armed Forces.
291
00:15:07,047 --> 00:15:09,766
- Fine.
- Newton and Lena Hacket are a yes.
292
00:15:09,927 --> 00:15:11,565
"Owen Hellman." Majority Whip.
293
00:15:11,767 --> 00:15:14,804
- My father doesn't like him.
- With the Energy Bill on the rocks...
294
00:15:14,967 --> 00:15:17,606
...it's not really the time to point
that out. He's a yes.
295
00:15:17,767 --> 00:15:21,362
"Andrew Edward." What's he doing in
the H's? Oh, right. His Royal Highness.
296
00:15:21,567 --> 00:15:23,000
Duke of York.
297
00:15:24,167 --> 00:15:27,398
- Do you wanna get some air?
- At least he's not bringing the Queen.
298
00:15:31,087 --> 00:15:32,566
Maybe he is bringing the Queen.
299
00:15:35,327 --> 00:15:38,239
It's gonna be a few minutes
before we've got Beijing.
300
00:15:38,927 --> 00:15:41,885
- I should try and help Ellie and Vic.
- Josh Lyman's here.
301
00:15:42,047 --> 00:15:46,643
Josh? Aren't you supposed to be running
around the country with some politician?
302
00:15:46,807 --> 00:15:49,082
- I brought you some doughnuts.
- I sense a favor.
303
00:15:49,247 --> 00:15:51,363
- Can we sit?
- I'm on my way to Ellie Bartlet...
304
00:15:51,527 --> 00:15:53,961
...who I blew off hours ago.
- What are the chances...
305
00:15:54,167 --> 00:15:56,727
...I get the president at
a Santos appearance tomorrow?
306
00:15:56,887 --> 00:15:58,605
- I know it's short notice.
- You think?
307
00:15:58,767 --> 00:16:01,520
- Lf I wasn't desperate.
- It takes a week to advance that.
308
00:16:01,687 --> 00:16:03,484
Our detail has already
cleared the zone.
309
00:16:03,647 --> 00:16:06,036
He's in Camp David with
a South American delegation...
310
00:16:06,247 --> 00:16:09,557
...tearing his hair out over a trade
agreement. You want him to go to L.A.?
311
00:16:09,727 --> 00:16:14,482
You hear about this kid, Ronnie Burke,
got shot by a cop? It's a perfect storm.
312
00:16:14,687 --> 00:16:17,679
You knew people were gonna have
an issue with a Latino president.
313
00:16:17,847 --> 00:16:20,156
If it wasn't Ronnie Burke,
it'd be something else.
314
00:16:20,367 --> 00:16:22,562
Yeah, well,
Ronnie Burke seems to be it.
315
00:16:23,847 --> 00:16:25,758
I'll take it to him
and see what he thinks.
316
00:16:25,967 --> 00:16:28,720
- Bless you.
- Yeah, get out of here.
317
00:16:29,087 --> 00:16:34,241
- Hey, you talk to Toby?
- No, I meant to call, but I guess I didn't.
318
00:16:34,407 --> 00:16:37,365
- Did you?
- No. I mean, I would, but I can't.
319
00:16:37,527 --> 00:16:39,961
Nobody can while
the investigation is still going.
320
00:16:40,127 --> 00:16:42,038
Just wanna make sure
he's in one piece.
321
00:16:42,367 --> 00:16:44,244
Yeah, I don't know.
322
00:16:46,407 --> 00:16:50,798
"Mr. And Mrs. Max Zelikovsky."
He's the chairman of the AFL-CIO...
323
00:16:50,967 --> 00:16:54,164
...helping us out on a very testy
negotiation with the steel workers.
324
00:16:54,367 --> 00:16:55,800
- Fine.
- Great.
325
00:16:55,967 --> 00:16:58,162
No, no.
326
00:16:58,327 --> 00:17:03,082
This wedding is not the solution to every
political problem the White House has.
327
00:17:03,527 --> 00:17:08,647
That's not its purpose.
We have a list of 742 people.
328
00:17:08,807 --> 00:17:13,358
We are not inviting the Zelikovskys.
They are a bridge too far.
329
00:17:13,527 --> 00:17:17,042
Honey, Carol Zelikovsky was
my mother's college roommate.
330
00:17:17,207 --> 00:17:18,686
I've known her my whole life.
331
00:17:22,367 --> 00:17:25,723
Seven hundred and forty-four.
But the good news is, that's it.
332
00:17:25,927 --> 00:17:28,487
Now it's all about your lists.
That's nice, right?
333
00:17:28,647 --> 00:17:32,959
"Ellie Bartlet guests," page one.
Oh, that's the whole thing. Great.
334
00:17:33,567 --> 00:17:36,365
A couple little questions, looks like.
Arianna Gray?
335
00:17:36,567 --> 00:17:39,525
She's my maid of honor. Flying
in from London for the wedding.
336
00:17:39,687 --> 00:17:43,999
Right. Well, looks like there was a
problem with her security clearance.
337
00:17:44,207 --> 00:17:47,836
Last time she was in the country,
her visa was flagged by the DEA...
338
00:17:48,007 --> 00:17:50,396
...which suggests somebody
may have had something...
339
00:17:50,567 --> 00:17:53,035
...they shouldn't have had
in their suitcase.
340
00:17:53,207 --> 00:17:54,879
You've got other friends, right?
341
00:17:55,047 --> 00:17:57,561
- Two more questions.
- I've heard that before.
342
00:17:57,727 --> 00:18:00,480
He can't mess around
if we're gonna make it to L.A. Today.
343
00:18:00,647 --> 00:18:03,036
- He hasn't cleared that.
- Any word on the president?
344
00:18:03,207 --> 00:18:05,641
Josh asked.
White House is looking into it.
345
00:18:05,807 --> 00:18:08,401
- Speech for the church tomorrow.
- Why do I have three?
346
00:18:08,567 --> 00:18:10,842
One denouncing the cop,
one where he doesn't...
347
00:18:11,007 --> 00:18:13,237
...one where he loves everybody.
- My head hurts.
348
00:18:13,407 --> 00:18:15,398
They're gonna want him
to denounce the cop.
349
00:18:15,607 --> 00:18:19,998
- On general principle?
- For shooting at children, I think.
350
00:18:20,207 --> 00:18:21,845
- Kid had a weapon.
- And a stolen car.
351
00:18:22,007 --> 00:18:24,601
- It's what they want to hear.
- He can't denounce the cop.
352
00:18:24,767 --> 00:18:26,678
He could prejudice
the whole investigation.
353
00:18:26,847 --> 00:18:29,236
Latinos won't like it
if he jumps all over the cop.
354
00:18:29,407 --> 00:18:32,797
Not to mention the law-and-order vote.
They'll want us to support the cop.
355
00:18:32,967 --> 00:18:35,003
- Without that, we lose...
- All white people.
356
00:18:35,207 --> 00:18:38,165
Okay, so the two speeches where
we take sides go in the garbage.
357
00:18:38,367 --> 00:18:40,562
- "We are a community divided."
- No.
358
00:18:40,727 --> 00:18:43,366
- It's two communities.
- Different identities and issues.
359
00:18:43,527 --> 00:18:47,076
- "We must face our differences"?
- That's like saying blacks hate Latinos...
360
00:18:47,247 --> 00:18:50,239
...and Latinos hate blacks.
- Which is kind of true.
361
00:18:50,447 --> 00:18:51,880
- Not true.
- It's a little true.
362
00:18:52,047 --> 00:18:55,676
Perhaps some are a little riled about
the coming in and taking of the jobs.
363
00:18:55,887 --> 00:18:57,878
Who do you know that
wants to pick avocados?
364
00:18:58,047 --> 00:19:00,561
- You know how hot it is?
- Yeah, we had about enough...
365
00:19:00,727 --> 00:19:02,126
...of picking with the cotton.
366
00:19:02,727 --> 00:19:06,322
- How did it go, sir?
- A lot like it did the last 80 times.
367
00:19:08,127 --> 00:19:10,516
- We make progress?
- Edie and Lester are fighting...
368
00:19:10,687 --> 00:19:12,723
...about avocados.
Aside from that, not much.
369
00:19:12,887 --> 00:19:15,845
You know, there's a psalm
that I think would be appropriate.
370
00:19:16,247 --> 00:19:19,125
It will speak to the moment
more than any platitudes...
371
00:19:19,287 --> 00:19:21,243
...that we can string together.
372
00:19:22,887 --> 00:19:25,720
I want some time tomorrow
before that rally in Sacramento...
373
00:19:25,887 --> 00:19:28,447
...to speak to the governor. So...
- A psalm?
374
00:19:28,967 --> 00:19:30,958
- Yes.
- You cannot go out there...
375
00:19:31,127 --> 00:19:32,355
...and give them a prayer.
376
00:19:32,567 --> 00:19:36,640
This isn't bad luck or bad timing. This is
a country with huge racial challenges...
377
00:19:36,807 --> 00:19:38,240
...looking to you for guidance.
378
00:19:38,447 --> 00:19:40,278
They don't want you
to close your eyes and pray.
379
00:19:40,447 --> 00:19:42,278
They want you
to open your eyes and lead.
380
00:19:42,487 --> 00:19:44,842
You want to show me what
you've come up with?
381
00:19:50,607 --> 00:19:53,075
I look forward to seeing a draft.
382
00:19:56,447 --> 00:19:59,245
You gonna ask him now
about the dead kid's house?
383
00:20:00,487 --> 00:20:02,045
Thank you, sir. You keep that.
384
00:20:27,047 --> 00:20:28,366
Yeah?
385
00:20:28,527 --> 00:20:30,119
It's me.
386
00:20:32,887 --> 00:20:34,923
Let me in the door.
387
00:20:36,647 --> 00:20:38,524
- Hi, how are you?
- Excuse me.
388
00:20:38,687 --> 00:20:40,245
Got it. Thank you.
389
00:20:56,527 --> 00:20:58,404
You gonna invite me in?
390
00:21:09,287 --> 00:21:11,642
- Something to drink?
- Sure.
391
00:21:11,807 --> 00:21:13,684
I had some coffee.
392
00:21:13,847 --> 00:21:16,884
- I seem to no longer have any coffee.
- I'm fine.
393
00:21:17,047 --> 00:21:19,607
We can go to the corner.
There's a coffee shop.
394
00:21:20,007 --> 00:21:22,282
Right, that's not gonna work.
What if someone saw?
395
00:21:24,167 --> 00:21:25,805
I don't need any coffee.
396
00:21:26,007 --> 00:21:29,124
Kind of a stupid move,
you even coming here.
397
00:21:29,447 --> 00:21:30,960
A reporter could've followed you.
398
00:21:31,407 --> 00:21:33,363
- They didn't.
- They're pretty sly.
399
00:21:33,527 --> 00:21:35,085
I checked.
400
00:21:35,247 --> 00:21:36,839
He checked. That's great.
401
00:21:40,927 --> 00:21:43,805
- So, how are you?
- Indicted. You?
402
00:21:44,007 --> 00:21:47,238
I meant to call. I've been just insane.
403
00:21:51,127 --> 00:21:52,606
You see the debate?
404
00:21:52,807 --> 00:21:55,367
Kind of a rush with the prep,
looked like.
405
00:21:56,327 --> 00:21:58,045
Not really.
406
00:21:58,207 --> 00:22:00,437
I mean, it was quick,
but he was ready.
407
00:22:00,607 --> 00:22:02,882
We got a four-point bump
off that thing.
408
00:22:03,047 --> 00:22:05,402
- He kicked ass.
- Good.
409
00:22:07,807 --> 00:22:09,718
So jail, huh?
410
00:22:13,967 --> 00:22:15,446
Sorry.
411
00:22:17,327 --> 00:22:19,682
You actually going
or are they cutting a deal?
412
00:22:19,847 --> 00:22:21,280
Nope, actually going.
413
00:22:21,447 --> 00:22:24,166
I saw the op-ed piece in the Times.
414
00:22:24,327 --> 00:22:26,795
You're quite the hero
with the disarmament movement.
415
00:22:26,967 --> 00:22:29,242
Patron saint
of the daisy-chain contingent.
416
00:22:29,407 --> 00:22:31,363
People calling about
speaking engagements.
417
00:22:31,527 --> 00:22:33,757
Simon & Schuster's
calling about a book deal.
418
00:22:33,927 --> 00:22:36,725
- You gonna do it?
- I don't know. Maybe.
419
00:22:37,727 --> 00:22:39,558
I may need the money.
420
00:22:40,127 --> 00:22:42,687
People can't come
within a 10-block radius of me.
421
00:22:43,087 --> 00:22:44,998
You'll be less radioactive
in a few months.
422
00:22:45,167 --> 00:22:48,603
Oh, yeah?
How many months, you think?
423
00:22:48,767 --> 00:22:51,361
We realize this is a very
disconcerting turn of events.
424
00:22:51,527 --> 00:22:53,916
We'd like to encourage them
to keep an open mind.
425
00:22:54,087 --> 00:22:57,079
President Bartlet will be speaking
to Acting President Tarimov...
426
00:22:57,247 --> 00:22:59,078
...and also President Chigorin
of Moscow.
427
00:22:59,247 --> 00:23:02,444
We feel confident they'll find a way
to reopen the negotiations...
428
00:23:02,607 --> 00:23:05,280
...for a China-Kazakhstan partnership.
- Great.
429
00:23:05,447 --> 00:23:08,245
- We got Beijing. Translator's patched in.
- Thanks.
430
00:23:11,847 --> 00:23:14,441
Good morning, Mr. Lu.
Thank you for speaking with us.
431
00:23:14,607 --> 00:23:16,837
We realize this is a very discouraging...
432
00:23:17,007 --> 00:23:19,202
We are not at all pleased
with this development.
433
00:23:19,767 --> 00:23:22,406
- Sir, if I could...
- We were assured democratic elections...
434
00:23:22,607 --> 00:23:24,757
Mr. Lu, President...
435
00:23:24,927 --> 00:23:26,440
- President Bart...
- They were not...
436
00:23:26,647 --> 00:23:29,719
- lf I could finish my...
- Your monitors were to control...
437
00:23:29,887 --> 00:23:33,084
- lf they were not able to...
- Fat lot of good this is gonna do.
438
00:23:35,047 --> 00:23:37,686
- Sorry. So, you were saying?
- No idea what I was saying.
439
00:23:37,847 --> 00:23:39,405
- Your kids.
- They are fine.
440
00:23:39,567 --> 00:23:41,478
Good to have more time
to spend with them.
441
00:23:41,687 --> 00:23:44,440
- It's fantastic.
- Shoot.
442
00:23:44,807 --> 00:23:47,765
Sorry, I gotta take this. Hello?
443
00:23:47,967 --> 00:23:49,719
- I just screwed up.
- I can't imagine.
444
00:23:49,887 --> 00:23:52,196
I told the congressman
it was his responsibility...
445
00:23:52,407 --> 00:23:55,717
...to solve the race problem in America,
if possible before tomorrow.
446
00:23:55,927 --> 00:23:57,201
That's quite a mouthful.
447
00:23:57,407 --> 00:23:58,965
- Pissed him off.
- He'll bounce.
448
00:23:59,167 --> 00:24:02,443
We'd like to leave for L.A. Early,
make a stop at the mother's house.
449
00:24:02,647 --> 00:24:04,319
If we talk
the congressman into it.
450
00:24:04,527 --> 00:24:06,518
- You sure we need it?
- Mayor already went.
451
00:24:06,727 --> 00:24:08,957
We're boxed in.
We leave Denver in half an hour.
452
00:24:09,127 --> 00:24:11,357
We should make it early evening,
West Coast time.
453
00:24:11,527 --> 00:24:13,836
All right, call me after.
454
00:24:14,367 --> 00:24:17,916
- We landed in racial tension in L.A.
- The cop thing?
455
00:24:18,087 --> 00:24:20,362
Yeah, we had an event
planned in the neighborhood.
456
00:24:20,527 --> 00:24:21,801
- Nice.
- Yeah.
457
00:24:21,967 --> 00:24:24,720
So the black vote,
which was already not in the bag...
458
00:24:24,887 --> 00:24:28,277
Maybe it's an opportunity.
Charismatic guy. He can turn it around.
459
00:24:29,607 --> 00:24:31,916
- You think?
- Maybe.
460
00:24:32,647 --> 00:24:34,126
I spoke to C.J.
461
00:24:34,287 --> 00:24:36,721
I'm trying to get the president down,
sing backup.
462
00:24:36,927 --> 00:24:37,962
Good luck with that.
463
00:24:38,847 --> 00:24:40,917
- I think she's gonna work it.
- What'd she say?
464
00:24:41,087 --> 00:24:42,884
She said she was gonna try
and work it.
465
00:24:43,087 --> 00:24:44,805
Said she'd take it to the president?
466
00:24:45,007 --> 00:24:46,645
Yeah, that's exactly what she said.
467
00:24:46,847 --> 00:24:48,565
That's her catch phrase for "never."
468
00:24:48,727 --> 00:24:51,116
- It's last minute...
- Nothing to do with last minute.
469
00:24:51,287 --> 00:24:54,836
- He doesn't think your guy's gonna win.
- What is that supposed to mean?
470
00:24:55,047 --> 00:24:58,198
It means it's unlikely
he gets on a redeye.
471
00:25:00,727 --> 00:25:03,321
I am constantly amazed...
472
00:25:04,487 --> 00:25:07,206
...at your ability to continue...
473
00:25:07,367 --> 00:25:08,800
...to be a bastard.
474
00:25:09,007 --> 00:25:12,317
- It really is something.
- Thank you.
475
00:25:12,487 --> 00:25:14,318
You think I need to be
your punching bag?
476
00:25:14,527 --> 00:25:16,643
I have no idea
why you needed to come here.
477
00:25:16,847 --> 00:25:18,678
Yeah, well, I don't know either.
478
00:25:19,847 --> 00:25:21,758
Nostalgia.
479
00:25:22,607 --> 00:25:25,167
- It's been a pleasure. See you later.
- No, you won't.
480
00:25:25,327 --> 00:25:27,443
You won't be coming back.
Have the integrity...
481
00:25:27,647 --> 00:25:29,922
...to say that out loud.
482
00:25:47,287 --> 00:25:50,199
- You told him the president would call?
- I didn't get a word in.
483
00:25:50,367 --> 00:25:52,483
- Does he understand...?
- I didn't get a word in.
484
00:25:52,687 --> 00:25:53,915
We can try again tomorrow.
485
00:25:54,127 --> 00:25:56,322
We're gonna make more headway
with the Russians.
486
00:25:56,527 --> 00:25:59,837
Excuse me. Ellie's in tears.
I've ruined her wedding.
487
00:26:00,047 --> 00:26:02,561
- Someone needs to take over.
- Is Margaret not outside?
488
00:26:02,767 --> 00:26:05,156
You need to step in.
Sorry about Central Asia but...
489
00:26:05,327 --> 00:26:07,363
...you're really not
gonna fix it today.
490
00:26:07,527 --> 00:26:09,757
Oh, good, maybe you can help Will.
491
00:26:09,927 --> 00:26:11,758
Shirley stopped by,
the social secretary.
492
00:26:11,927 --> 00:26:14,236
- You need to talk about the dress.
- I really don't.
493
00:26:14,447 --> 00:26:17,041
Ellie bought a dress all
on her own, which is sweet...
494
00:26:17,247 --> 00:26:20,444
...but it's got applique flowers on it.
- I'm sure it's lovely.
495
00:26:20,607 --> 00:26:23,405
There's concern they may have been
hand-stitched in Saipan...
496
00:26:23,567 --> 00:26:26,081
...by little slave children.
- Oh, God.
497
00:26:26,287 --> 00:26:29,199
A number of designers have expressed
interest in making a dress.
498
00:26:29,367 --> 00:26:31,039
These are a couple of samples.
499
00:26:31,207 --> 00:26:33,323
- Josh called again.
- Take care of it.
500
00:26:34,887 --> 00:26:37,845
You're doing great.
Just get a decision about the food.
501
00:26:38,047 --> 00:26:40,481
Salmon's out and so is swordfish,
tuna and Brie...
502
00:26:40,647 --> 00:26:42,683
...which Margaret seems to think
is a fish.
503
00:26:42,847 --> 00:26:44,599
- She's pregnant?
- Excuse me?
504
00:26:44,807 --> 00:26:46,923
Swordfish, tuna, soft cheeses.
505
00:26:47,087 --> 00:26:49,442
Am I the only one in the room
with kids?
506
00:26:50,847 --> 00:26:53,156
Tell her we'll find something
with an empire waist.
507
00:26:53,367 --> 00:26:55,323
I don't even know what that means.
508
00:26:55,527 --> 00:26:58,041
In the service of your country, son.
509
00:27:01,927 --> 00:27:03,360
Did we work out Meet the Press?
510
00:27:03,527 --> 00:27:05,995
Mancini's doing it.
White House on line three for you.
511
00:27:07,927 --> 00:27:09,201
- Hello?
- Hi.
512
00:27:09,367 --> 00:27:11,278
- Margaret, you miss me already.
- Terribly.
513
00:27:11,447 --> 00:27:12,926
C.J. wanted to call you herself.
514
00:27:13,087 --> 00:27:14,679
That's okay,
I know how busy she is.
515
00:27:14,847 --> 00:27:16,121
She ran it by the president.
516
00:27:16,287 --> 00:27:18,881
He can 't make it to California,
not on this short notice.
517
00:27:19,047 --> 00:27:21,356
- No, I get it.
- She's really sorry.
518
00:27:21,527 --> 00:27:25,679
Sure, it was all very last minute.
519
00:27:26,127 --> 00:27:29,119
- Tell her, thanks for trying.
- Of course.
520
00:27:40,007 --> 00:27:42,760
We're in the kitchen. Brenda Burke.
521
00:27:43,767 --> 00:27:45,962
- Everything okay?
- Yeah.
522
00:27:52,927 --> 00:27:54,963
This is Brenda Burke, Ronnie's mother.
523
00:27:55,127 --> 00:27:58,278
Mrs. Burke, I'm so sorry for your loss.
524
00:27:58,487 --> 00:28:00,762
Thank you. You're sweet to come.
525
00:28:00,927 --> 00:28:03,157
The mayor came today too.
A lot of people.
526
00:28:03,327 --> 00:28:06,763
I'm sure this is all
terribly overwhelming.
527
00:28:06,927 --> 00:28:10,044
I can't even begin to imagine
how you're feeling today.
528
00:28:11,047 --> 00:28:12,685
Can I offer you something to eat?
529
00:28:12,887 --> 00:28:14,639
No, please, don't trouble yourself.
530
00:28:14,847 --> 00:28:17,680
It's no trouble.
People keep bringing food.
531
00:28:18,087 --> 00:28:20,681
- You should have one of those cookies.
- That's very kind.
532
00:28:20,847 --> 00:28:22,280
They do look delicious.
533
00:28:22,487 --> 00:28:24,398
Move the vehicles
at the end of the street.
534
00:28:24,567 --> 00:28:27,639
- Wait here for a few minutes.
- People need to get up the street.
535
00:28:27,807 --> 00:28:30,241
We'll be removing the roadblock
in about 15 minutes.
536
00:28:30,407 --> 00:28:32,204
Her sister is at the end of the block.
537
00:28:32,367 --> 00:28:33,641
Please step back, sir.
538
00:28:33,847 --> 00:28:36,805
- I'm Matthew Santos. I'm so sorry...
- I know who you are.
539
00:28:37,007 --> 00:28:39,999
Take your people out of here
and get your cars off the streets...
540
00:28:40,167 --> 00:28:41,998
...so her sister can get up the block...
541
00:28:42,167 --> 00:28:44,840
...into this house.
Family needs to be here. You don't.
542
00:28:45,047 --> 00:28:48,562
I just wanted to let your family know
how very sorry I am for your loss.
543
00:28:48,767 --> 00:28:50,086
You should know better.
544
00:28:50,287 --> 00:28:51,606
Please, step back, sir.
545
00:28:51,767 --> 00:28:54,156
- All right, we're done here.
- Mrs. Burke, I'm so...
546
00:28:54,367 --> 00:28:56,881
We really need to get going.
Thank you, Mrs. Burke.
547
00:29:19,927 --> 00:29:21,201
- Morning.
- That the speech?
548
00:29:21,367 --> 00:29:23,835
If you wanna give it a look,
we can talk about it...
549
00:29:24,047 --> 00:29:25,275
No, I'm fine. Thank you.
550
00:29:29,167 --> 00:29:30,520
Presidential hopeful Santos...
551
00:29:30,687 --> 00:29:32,678
You know, it doesn't play
that badly on TV.
552
00:29:32,847 --> 00:29:34,439
- Home of Brenda Burke today...
553
00:29:34,607 --> 00:29:37,804
... mother of slain Ronald Burke,
age 12. Burke was...
554
00:29:39,887 --> 00:29:41,161
What's that?
555
00:29:41,327 --> 00:29:43,921
That was the speech
I'm not gonna give.
556
00:29:44,087 --> 00:29:46,555
- For the church?
- Yeah.
557
00:29:48,927 --> 00:29:52,203
- Gonna sing "O Heavenly Shepherd"?
- Oh, that's an idea.
558
00:29:52,367 --> 00:29:55,404
You know you slide off-key
on the chorus.
559
00:29:56,567 --> 00:29:58,444
They think there's something
I can say...
560
00:29:58,607 --> 00:30:01,440
...that's gonna bridge the divide.
Well, there isn't.
561
00:30:01,607 --> 00:30:02,881
I don't think that's true.
562
00:30:03,047 --> 00:30:06,244
The staff doesn't either. Y'all should
get together and talk about it.
563
00:30:07,007 --> 00:30:09,362
You don't have to say the right thing...
564
00:30:09,527 --> 00:30:12,439
...but you do have to say something
from your heart.
565
00:30:15,447 --> 00:30:18,564
- I do, huh?
- Yeah.
566
00:30:21,047 --> 00:30:23,197
Nobody wants to hear that, Helen.
567
00:30:23,607 --> 00:30:26,565
They wanna hear what I have to say
as the "representative"...
568
00:30:26,727 --> 00:30:29,685
...for every Latino man, woman
and child in the United States.
569
00:30:29,847 --> 00:30:33,396
And let me tell you something,
I'm very tired of being responsible...
570
00:30:33,567 --> 00:30:37,162
...for every Jose Miguel Rodrigo Garcia
Martinez de Lopez in America.
571
00:30:37,327 --> 00:30:38,601
I'm exhausted!
572
00:30:38,767 --> 00:30:41,440
- Nobody expects that.
- Of course they do.
573
00:30:41,647 --> 00:30:44,525
They want me to make sense
out of all this, and you know what?
574
00:30:44,687 --> 00:30:47,485
Helen, I got nothing.
575
00:30:48,007 --> 00:30:50,760
Why the hell do they shoot a kid
who is trying to surrender?
576
00:30:50,927 --> 00:30:54,124
There's some guy that says the kid
was trying to put his hands up.
577
00:30:54,287 --> 00:30:56,721
The cop couldn't wait
half a second before he fired?
578
00:30:56,927 --> 00:31:00,715
And who walks around South Central
with a plastic M16?
579
00:31:00,887 --> 00:31:03,606
What did this kid think,
he was living in Martha's Vineyard?
580
00:31:03,767 --> 00:31:05,997
Nobody figured out
when you live in the ghetto...
581
00:31:06,167 --> 00:31:09,000
...you carry something else
if you don't wanna get blown away?
582
00:31:09,207 --> 00:31:11,004
That's what I got right now.
583
00:31:11,207 --> 00:31:13,437
You think that's gonna
make anybody feel better?
584
00:31:15,807 --> 00:31:18,446
Morning, ma'am. We gotta go.
585
00:31:36,927 --> 00:31:39,999
Nice to see you all. Hope I didn't
pull anybody out of church.
586
00:31:41,007 --> 00:31:43,157
Sorry, Ted. Where are we?
587
00:31:43,327 --> 00:31:46,399
At 1:30 a.m. Eastern Standard,
Keyhole satellite images...
588
00:31:46,567 --> 00:31:49,479
...picked up movement on the border
of the Xinjiang Province...
589
00:31:49,647 --> 00:31:52,002
...which continued
for the following three hours.
590
00:31:52,207 --> 00:31:56,166
- Could this be something else?
- Could be training drills, but unlikely.
591
00:31:56,327 --> 00:31:59,956
What's likely is that China is massing
troops on the border of Kazakhstan.
592
00:32:08,767 --> 00:32:11,406
I brought coffee.
You seemed to be out.
593
00:32:13,367 --> 00:32:16,325
I've given thought to the heartwarming
insight you shared...
594
00:32:16,487 --> 00:32:19,240
...about how the president
has decided Santos is a loser...
595
00:32:19,407 --> 00:32:21,204
...and I think you're full of it.
596
00:32:21,367 --> 00:32:22,880
You couldn't rustle up a bagel?
597
00:32:23,047 --> 00:32:25,481
It's not that the president
doesn't think he can win.
598
00:32:25,647 --> 00:32:27,877
- It's about you don't think he can win.
- I don't.
599
00:32:28,047 --> 00:32:30,561
Because it will kill you
to see me do this and succeed.
600
00:32:30,727 --> 00:32:32,319
You're not wired for such an event.
601
00:32:32,487 --> 00:32:35,923
Your entire neurological infrastructure
would fritz out.
602
00:32:36,087 --> 00:32:39,284
You think I brewed up some
sort of Freudian, fratricidal mania...
603
00:32:39,447 --> 00:32:41,199
...built around your success?
604
00:32:41,367 --> 00:32:44,086
You don't think I have
anything other than that against him?
605
00:32:44,247 --> 00:32:46,715
- Name something else.
- He's not presidential material.
606
00:32:46,887 --> 00:32:48,605
- Why?
- Why? Because he left.
607
00:32:48,807 --> 00:32:51,844
He left Congress to go home
and do small, important work.
608
00:32:52,007 --> 00:32:54,646
You had to haul him by the hair
out of the family bed.
609
00:32:55,047 --> 00:32:56,844
Did you stop to wonder
if that was good?
610
00:32:57,007 --> 00:32:59,396
He stepped up.
When presented with the opportunity...
611
00:32:59,607 --> 00:33:01,677
A man in that job
shouldn't be presented!
612
00:33:01,887 --> 00:33:04,526
It's for someone who grabs it
and holds on to it!
613
00:33:04,727 --> 00:33:08,242
For someone who thinks the gods
conspired to bring him to this place...
614
00:33:08,407 --> 00:33:10,967
...that destiny demands of him
this service!
615
00:33:11,167 --> 00:33:13,522
If you don't have that drive,
that hubris...
616
00:33:13,727 --> 00:33:17,640
...how you gonna make the decisions
that stump every other person?
617
00:33:17,807 --> 00:33:21,402
How in the hell are you gonna
hold that kind of power in your hands?
618
00:33:21,607 --> 00:33:24,724
- You don't know he's not that man.
- You don't know that he is.
619
00:33:27,847 --> 00:33:28,882
Is he?
620
00:33:30,607 --> 00:33:33,326
Look me in the eye
and tell me that you know.
621
00:33:33,487 --> 00:33:37,036
Without a shadow of a doubt,
you know.
622
00:33:42,727 --> 00:33:44,922
That's why the other guy wins.
623
00:34:44,527 --> 00:34:46,040
- Thanks for joining us.
- Any time.
624
00:34:46,207 --> 00:34:47,879
We tried to get the president here.
625
00:34:48,047 --> 00:34:50,083
- Short notice.
- Yeah.
626
00:34:50,247 --> 00:34:51,999
Maybe you should do
a longer speech...
627
00:34:52,167 --> 00:34:54,442
...take some of the pressure
off the congressman.
628
00:34:54,607 --> 00:34:56,245
I'm happy to do an introduction.
629
00:34:56,407 --> 00:34:58,637
I think the congressman
ought to handle the rest.
630
00:34:58,967 --> 00:35:00,366
Yeah.
631
00:35:00,527 --> 00:35:02,119
Oh, how did yesterday go?
632
00:35:03,087 --> 00:35:04,998
Visit to Burke's mother's
was a disaster.
633
00:35:05,167 --> 00:35:08,125
The congressman hates
the very idea of the speech.
634
00:35:08,287 --> 00:35:10,482
He's replacing me
with a Labrador retriever.
635
00:35:11,287 --> 00:35:14,120
- More than you were looking for?
- Little bit.
636
00:35:14,487 --> 00:35:16,398
We can hold the hand of the Lord...
637
00:35:16,567 --> 00:35:18,956
...and walk through the darkness.
- Amen!
638
00:35:19,127 --> 00:35:20,765
- Through the pain.
- Yeah!
639
00:35:20,927 --> 00:35:22,645
- Through the storm.
- Yeah!
640
00:35:22,847 --> 00:35:25,566
Let's give God some praise for that.
641
00:35:27,247 --> 00:35:29,397
We are breathing this morning...
642
00:35:29,567 --> 00:35:32,877
- He's supposed to be here already.
- They're five minutes behind.
643
00:35:33,047 --> 00:35:36,960
- This is not the place to show up late.
- I know. I don't know what to tell you.
644
00:35:37,127 --> 00:35:39,561
- He's late.
- Yes, he is.
645
00:35:41,207 --> 00:35:43,118
Edie, where the hell are you?
646
00:35:43,287 --> 00:35:44,402
They're here.
647
00:35:46,287 --> 00:35:47,925
Amen.
648
00:35:53,487 --> 00:35:55,398
We've got the Reverend
Dr. James Whitman.
649
00:35:55,567 --> 00:35:58,286
First Lady Denise Whitman
is in the chair on your right.
650
00:35:58,447 --> 00:35:59,800
Choirmaster Wilson Bennett.
651
00:35:59,967 --> 00:36:01,605
We've been traveling the country...
652
00:36:01,767 --> 00:36:05,476
...talking about Matt Santos'
vision for America.
653
00:36:05,647 --> 00:36:07,558
Talking about the positive plan he has...
654
00:36:07,767 --> 00:36:10,122
...to move this country
in the right direction.
655
00:36:10,327 --> 00:36:13,285
Talking about an America of possibility.
656
00:36:14,327 --> 00:36:17,763
I am proud to introduce to you
a great leader...
657
00:36:17,967 --> 00:36:23,599
...a fine and honorable man,
Congressman Matthew Santos.
658
00:36:34,367 --> 00:36:35,482
Good morning.
659
00:36:42,847 --> 00:36:47,045
My prayers are with
Ronnie Burke's family today.
660
00:36:47,847 --> 00:36:49,883
I know yours are too.
661
00:36:51,967 --> 00:36:54,959
My prayers are with
Officer Rafael Martinez and his family.
662
00:36:55,127 --> 00:36:59,166
They are not struggling
with the loss of a child...
663
00:36:59,647 --> 00:37:02,923
...but they are struggling
with a terrible truth.
664
00:37:03,367 --> 00:37:07,485
My prayers are with those families
and with this one.
665
00:37:15,247 --> 00:37:19,206
You know, I find myself
on days like this casting about...
666
00:37:19,367 --> 00:37:21,562
...for someone to blame.
667
00:37:23,327 --> 00:37:25,795
I blame the kid. He stole a car.
I blame the parents.
668
00:37:26,927 --> 00:37:30,715
Why couldn't they teach him better?
I blame the cop. Did he need to fire?
669
00:37:30,887 --> 00:37:35,563
I blame everyone I can think of,
and I am filled with rage.
670
00:37:37,967 --> 00:37:41,676
And then I try and find compassion.
671
00:37:42,447 --> 00:37:45,678
Compassion for the people I blame.
Compassion...
672
00:37:45,847 --> 00:37:48,236
...for the people I do not understand.
Compassion...
673
00:37:49,887 --> 00:37:51,320
...doesn't always work so well.
674
00:37:52,847 --> 00:37:56,283
I remember as a young man listening
on the radio to Dr. King in 1968.
675
00:37:56,487 --> 00:37:59,001
He asked of us compassion,
and we responded...
676
00:37:59,207 --> 00:38:04,759
...not necessarily because we felt it,
but because he convinced us...
677
00:38:04,927 --> 00:38:09,205
...that if we could find compassion,
if we could express compassion...
678
00:38:09,407 --> 00:38:13,116
...and if we could just pretend
compassion...
679
00:38:13,327 --> 00:38:15,397
...it would heal us...
680
00:38:16,047 --> 00:38:17,878
...so much more than vengeance could.
681
00:38:18,927 --> 00:38:22,124
And he was right.
It did, but not enough.
682
00:38:22,287 --> 00:38:24,243
What we've learned this week...
683
00:38:25,167 --> 00:38:28,125
...is that more compassion
is required of us...
684
00:38:28,287 --> 00:38:31,438
...and an even greater effort
is required of us...
685
00:38:31,607 --> 00:38:35,680
...and we are all, I think,
every one of us tired.
686
00:38:37,727 --> 00:38:41,561
We're tired of understanding,
we're tired of waiting...
687
00:38:41,727 --> 00:38:46,039
...we're tired of trying to figure out
why our children are not safe...
688
00:38:46,207 --> 00:38:50,644
...and why our efforts to make them
safe seem to fail. We're tired.
689
00:38:51,847 --> 00:38:56,841
But we must know
that we have made some progress...
690
00:38:57,007 --> 00:38:59,726
...and blame will only destroy it.
691
00:38:59,887 --> 00:39:03,402
Blame will breed more violence,
and we have had enough of that.
692
00:39:03,567 --> 00:39:07,924
Blame will not rid our streets
of crime and drugs and fear...
693
00:39:08,087 --> 00:39:09,566
...and we've had enough of that.
694
00:39:10,487 --> 00:39:16,039
Blame will not strengthen our schools
or our families or our workforce.
695
00:39:16,207 --> 00:39:20,598
Blame will rob us of those things,
and we have had enough of that.
696
00:39:22,127 --> 00:39:28,123
And so I ask you today
to dig down deep with me and find...
697
00:39:28,527 --> 00:39:31,803
...that compassion in your hearts...
698
00:39:31,967 --> 00:39:35,164
...because it will keep us on the road...
699
00:39:35,327 --> 00:39:40,685
...and we will walk together
and work together.
700
00:39:40,847 --> 00:39:42,121
And slowly...
701
00:39:43,007 --> 00:39:46,397
...slowly, too slowly,
things will get better.
702
00:39:46,927 --> 00:39:48,360
God bless you.
703
00:39:48,527 --> 00:39:51,121
God bless you,
and God bless your children.
704
00:40:26,407 --> 00:40:28,204
God bless you.
705
00:41:28,607 --> 00:41:30,598
