Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,972 --> 00:00:06,274
Previously on The West Wing...
2
00:00:06,340 --> 00:00:07,941
NSC just
got a call.
3
00:00:08,008 --> 00:00:10,111
There's a China, Russia,
Kazakhstan thing happening.
4
00:00:10,178 --> 00:00:11,712
When are you thinking
about having the wedding?
5
00:00:11,779 --> 00:00:12,546
As soon as possible.
6
00:00:12,613 --> 00:00:13,747
Oh.
7
00:00:13,814 --> 00:00:15,549
Tarimov has stronger
ties to the Russians.
8
00:00:15,616 --> 00:00:17,585
And he killed the China
oil deal, and China's pissed.
9
00:00:17,651 --> 00:00:20,354
You know, you can fire as many
of us grunts as you want,
10
00:00:20,421 --> 00:00:22,990
but you want to know why
this campaign is floundering,
11
00:00:23,057 --> 00:00:24,525
look in the mirror.
12
00:00:24,592 --> 00:00:26,227
HARPER:
What's likely
is that China
13
00:00:26,294 --> 00:00:27,628
is massing troops
on the border of Kazakhstan.
14
00:00:27,695 --> 00:00:29,263
Worst case scenario,
two nuclear powers
15
00:00:29,330 --> 00:00:31,165
are positioning themselves
to actively engage
16
00:00:31,232 --> 00:00:34,102
in an armed conflict
over oil.
17
00:00:36,437 --> 00:00:40,308
( classical music plays )
18
00:00:42,276 --> 00:00:46,714
( President humming )
19
00:00:50,784 --> 00:00:52,420
Dad.
20
00:00:52,486 --> 00:00:54,722
You're not really
going to sing along.
21
00:00:54,788 --> 00:00:55,856
I thought I had a solo.
22
00:00:55,923 --> 00:00:56,757
Or tell jokes.
23
00:00:56,824 --> 00:00:57,825
None?
24
00:00:57,891 --> 00:00:59,160
After the ceremony.
25
00:00:59,227 --> 00:01:01,362
Short ones.
Preferably not during the toast.
26
00:01:01,429 --> 00:01:02,730
I have to give a toast?
27
00:01:02,796 --> 00:01:04,432
Dad.
28
00:01:07,835 --> 00:01:09,503
Now you lift the veil...
29
00:01:10,871 --> 00:01:12,173
give her a kiss...
30
00:01:15,309 --> 00:01:16,744
walk over here...
31
00:01:18,712 --> 00:01:19,780
and sit.
32
00:01:19,847 --> 00:01:21,715
Kinda far from the
action, isn't it?
33
00:01:23,917 --> 00:01:26,220
You're not performing
the ceremony.
34
00:01:26,287 --> 00:01:27,388
I wasn't asked to.
35
00:01:27,455 --> 00:01:29,089
Sir?
I'm sorry to interrupt.
36
00:01:29,157 --> 00:01:30,591
No, that's quite all right.
37
00:01:30,658 --> 00:01:32,660
He was about to go
into his Spencer Tracy routine.
38
00:01:32,726 --> 00:01:34,895
There's been an escalation
in Kazakhstan.
39
00:01:34,962 --> 00:01:37,865
We've picked up
three Russian military convoys
40
00:01:37,931 --> 00:01:39,367
heading for the border.
41
00:01:40,634 --> 00:01:42,770
I'm gonna need
to step out.
42
00:01:44,838 --> 00:01:45,806
Well, uh...
43
00:01:45,873 --> 00:01:47,941
my apologies, everyone.
44
00:01:48,008 --> 00:01:49,877
I'm afraid I'll have
to meet you all at dinner.
45
00:01:49,943 --> 00:01:52,513
Don't slip away,
young lady.
46
00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:53,981
We need to practice our dance.
47
00:01:54,047 --> 00:01:55,383
Father.
48
00:01:55,449 --> 00:01:57,050
DEBBIE:
I told them you were busy.
49
00:01:57,117 --> 00:01:58,786
Yeah.
50
00:01:58,852 --> 00:02:01,889
I hear there's a rehearsal
dinner tonight, swanky affair,
51
00:02:01,955 --> 00:02:04,091
President of the United States
is supposed to show.
52
00:02:04,158 --> 00:02:06,093
He's got 15 minutes.
53
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,628
So now the Russians
are invading?
54
00:02:07,695 --> 00:02:09,197
I just got off the phone
with State.
55
00:02:09,263 --> 00:02:10,664
The Russians say they're
sending in advisors
56
00:02:10,731 --> 00:02:12,166
at the Kazakh
President's request.
57
00:02:12,233 --> 00:02:14,235
Advisors with AK-47s
and riot gear?
58
00:02:14,302 --> 00:02:15,636
Pretty much.
59
00:02:15,703 --> 00:02:17,037
President Tarimov's
got to be nervous,
60
00:02:17,104 --> 00:02:18,472
with the Chinese
camped out at the border
61
00:02:18,539 --> 00:02:20,308
and his own people ready
to storm the palace gate.
62
00:02:20,374 --> 00:02:22,576
Not nervous enough to
reschedule elections.
63
00:02:23,777 --> 00:02:25,646
The Chinese seeing
what we're seeing?
64
00:02:25,713 --> 00:02:27,248
The Chinese won't enter
the country unprovoked,
65
00:02:27,315 --> 00:02:28,616
but if those convoys
cross the border...
66
00:02:28,682 --> 00:02:30,150
Debbie!
67
00:02:31,685 --> 00:02:34,655
38 seconds.
Nice work, Commander.
68
00:02:34,722 --> 00:02:36,824
I'm gonna need
the Russian Ambassador,
69
00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:38,826
the Chinese Ambassador
and my wife.
70
00:02:38,892 --> 00:02:40,661
Probably not in that order.
71
00:03:28,642 --> 00:03:29,910
PRESIDENT:
Yes, Mr. Ambassador,
72
00:03:29,977 --> 00:03:30,978
but if we could focus on...
73
00:03:32,346 --> 00:03:33,881
Yes, Yuri.
74
00:03:33,947 --> 00:03:37,385
Yes, it should be
a lovely affair, but...
75
00:03:37,451 --> 00:03:41,489
But, listen, if those convoys
enter Kazakhstan...
76
00:03:43,090 --> 00:03:46,927
No, I'm not sure who's doing
the flower arrangements.
77
00:03:48,662 --> 00:03:50,230
Mr. President,
I hate to interrupt,
78
00:03:50,298 --> 00:03:52,666
but we've got Secretary
Hutchinson on the other line.
79
00:03:52,733 --> 00:03:54,435
Thank you, C.J.
80
00:03:54,502 --> 00:03:57,204
Yuri, you'll communicate
my concerns
81
00:03:57,271 --> 00:03:58,972
to President Chigorin?
82
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:00,941
Yes, we'll speak later.
83
00:04:01,008 --> 00:04:02,343
Thank you.
84
00:04:02,410 --> 00:04:03,411
Flower arrangements.
85
00:04:03,477 --> 00:04:05,112
He's stalling.
86
00:04:05,178 --> 00:04:06,113
Where are the convoys?
87
00:04:06,179 --> 00:04:07,515
30 miles from the border.
88
00:04:07,581 --> 00:04:08,616
And Pakistan just
issued a statement
89
00:04:08,682 --> 00:04:10,017
warning that Chinese
interference
90
00:04:10,083 --> 00:04:12,119
in Central Asia
will not be tolerated.
91
00:04:12,185 --> 00:04:13,387
You want the Chinese Ambassador?
92
00:04:16,056 --> 00:04:17,024
Get him on the phone.
93
00:04:26,967 --> 00:04:29,403
Hey. Just wanted to give
you guys a heads up.
94
00:04:29,470 --> 00:04:30,771
Governor Baker has decided
95
00:04:30,838 --> 00:04:32,606
to join us at tomorrow
morning's rally.
96
00:04:32,673 --> 00:04:34,174
We've added a half hour
to the event.
97
00:04:34,241 --> 00:04:35,543
What about the wedding?
We'll be wheels
up at noon.
98
00:04:35,609 --> 00:04:36,810
The Congressman
should have plenty
99
00:04:36,877 --> 00:04:38,245
of time to get
to the White House.
100
00:04:38,312 --> 00:04:39,913
Have you seen
the new Zogby poll?
101
00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:41,349
I have.
Six weeks to go, you're
still seven points down.
102
00:04:41,415 --> 00:04:42,616
You guys concerned?
103
00:04:42,683 --> 00:04:43,884
We drew record crowds
in Jersey today.
104
00:04:43,951 --> 00:04:45,719
We got a four point bump
on the debate.
105
00:04:45,786 --> 00:04:48,121
The Economist said a
Santos Presidency might be
106
00:04:48,188 --> 00:04:49,923
the best thing to happen to race
relations in this country
107
00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:51,158
since the Civil Rights Act.
108
00:04:51,224 --> 00:04:52,993
I'd say we're gaining ground.
109
00:04:53,060 --> 00:04:54,395
( all clamoring )
You haven't been...
you haven't been
110
00:04:54,462 --> 00:04:55,996
within five points of Vinick
in a month.
111
00:04:56,063 --> 00:04:58,265
We're a little more focused
on the state polls.
112
00:04:58,332 --> 00:04:59,733
I've got a senior Democrat
113
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,370
on record saying
it's time to shake things up.
114
00:05:02,436 --> 00:05:04,705
He should look at a map,
do the electoral math.
115
00:05:04,772 --> 00:05:06,707
This race is tighter
than you think.
116
00:05:06,774 --> 00:05:08,308
SANTOS:
We really want to go dark
in Arizona?
117
00:05:08,376 --> 00:05:09,477
We picked up two points there
last week.
118
00:05:09,543 --> 00:05:10,944
We're still trailing by seven.
119
00:05:11,011 --> 00:05:12,913
We can't pull the money
from anywhere else?
120
00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:14,482
Vinick's challenging us
across the board.
121
00:05:14,548 --> 00:05:16,350
With California in his pocket,
we have to sweep
122
00:05:16,417 --> 00:05:17,785
Texas, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Florida.
123
00:05:17,851 --> 00:05:19,186
That means
124
00:05:19,252 --> 00:05:20,521
putting every available dollar
in those four states.
125
00:05:20,588 --> 00:05:22,189
LEO:
We've cut all we can
126
00:05:22,255 --> 00:05:24,091
out of the places where we're
actually competitive.
127
00:05:25,225 --> 00:05:27,327
Okay.
128
00:05:28,562 --> 00:05:32,132
Move the ad money from Arizona
into, uh...
129
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:33,534
Houston and Miami.
130
00:05:35,135 --> 00:05:36,870
We done with the bloodletting?
131
00:05:36,937 --> 00:05:40,741
We go dark in Washington, Maine,
Colorado, Nevada, Arizona.
132
00:05:40,808 --> 00:05:42,476
These 12 are still in play.
133
00:05:42,543 --> 00:05:44,044
SANTOS:
Thanks, everybody.
134
00:05:44,111 --> 00:05:45,946
I'll try to catch my kids
before they go to sleep.
135
00:05:51,218 --> 00:05:52,586
Leo.
136
00:05:52,653 --> 00:05:54,555
You guys have
to narrow down
137
00:05:54,622 --> 00:05:55,789
the board like this
eight years ago?
138
00:05:55,856 --> 00:05:57,090
Sure.
139
00:05:57,157 --> 00:05:58,726
Six weeks out, only so much
in the war chest,
140
00:05:58,792 --> 00:06:00,160
gotta manage your resources.
141
00:06:00,227 --> 00:06:03,997
Feels like we're closing
a lot of doors here.
142
00:06:04,064 --> 00:06:06,366
Good strategy always does.
143
00:06:06,434 --> 00:06:09,570
PRESIDENT:
Yes, of course,
Mr. Ambassador, but...
144
00:06:09,637 --> 00:06:11,204
We've been over this.
145
00:06:11,271 --> 00:06:14,408
It's three convoys.
They're not invading.
146
00:06:16,376 --> 00:06:18,178
Yes, but as I've said, if...
147
00:06:18,245 --> 00:06:21,148
If the Chinese Army
enters the country...
148
00:06:22,683 --> 00:06:24,818
Yes, I'll convey your thoughts.
149
00:06:24,885 --> 00:06:27,655
Yes. You, too, Yahlin.
Thank you.
150
00:06:29,022 --> 00:06:31,258
How long before the convoys
reach Kazakhstan?
151
00:06:31,324 --> 00:06:32,292
Actually, they've stopped.
152
00:06:32,359 --> 00:06:33,494
A few miles from the border.
153
00:06:33,561 --> 00:06:36,229
Are they refueling
or pitching tents?
154
00:06:36,296 --> 00:06:37,230
Hard to know.
155
00:06:37,297 --> 00:06:39,967
I'm gonna go with tents.
156
00:06:40,033 --> 00:06:41,869
I want a full briefing
in the morning.
157
00:06:41,935 --> 00:06:43,136
Yes, sir.
158
00:06:43,203 --> 00:06:44,472
If those convoys
start moving again...
Yeah.
159
00:06:44,538 --> 00:06:45,606
'Night.
'Night.
160
00:06:45,673 --> 00:06:46,907
Are they still
in the Red Room?
161
00:06:46,974 --> 00:06:48,408
DEBBIE:
They were 20 minutes ago.
162
00:06:48,476 --> 00:06:49,977
Do you want me to follow
up with Berryhill?
163
00:06:50,043 --> 00:06:51,779
No, I got it.
164
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:56,283
All right if I...
165
00:06:56,349 --> 00:06:57,685
Yeah. No, wait a minute.
166
00:06:57,751 --> 00:06:59,052
The Chinese Ambassador's
coming to the wedding.
167
00:06:59,119 --> 00:07:00,488
Okay.
168
00:07:00,554 --> 00:07:01,555
I can't remember
who he's sitting with.
169
00:07:01,622 --> 00:07:03,791
Hopefully not the Russians.
170
00:07:03,857 --> 00:07:05,292
State eyeballed
the seating chart, right?
171
00:07:05,358 --> 00:07:07,394
One of Berryhill's deputies.
Couple of weeks ago.
172
00:07:07,461 --> 00:07:09,096
Maybe I should take a look.
173
00:07:09,162 --> 00:07:10,363
Yeah.
174
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:11,732
BRAM:
DNC fundraising totals
175
00:07:11,799 --> 00:07:12,800
and the changes
to tomorrow's schedule.
176
00:07:12,866 --> 00:07:14,267
Thanks.
177
00:07:14,334 --> 00:07:15,402
If you could sign off on those
before you leave for D.C.
178
00:07:15,469 --> 00:07:16,670
Five states dark.
179
00:07:16,737 --> 00:07:17,938
A lot of contested
Congressional races,
180
00:07:18,005 --> 00:07:19,507
and a lot of guys
going to have trouble
181
00:07:19,573 --> 00:07:20,941
getting Democrats to the polls
if we jump ship.
182
00:07:21,008 --> 00:07:22,710
Yeah, we're not gonna
be very popular.
183
00:07:22,776 --> 00:07:24,311
You want me the new tracking
numbers before we go public?
184
00:07:24,377 --> 00:07:25,646
Sure.
185
00:07:25,713 --> 00:07:27,080
Right, and we'll
want local press
186
00:07:27,147 --> 00:07:28,415
from south Jersey
and the Philly suburbs.
187
00:07:28,482 --> 00:07:29,817
Great. Thanks, Edie.
188
00:07:29,883 --> 00:07:31,519
Did you get the photo op
with the Governor?
189
00:07:31,585 --> 00:07:32,352
Santos, Baker
and a cheesesteak.
190
00:07:32,419 --> 00:07:33,754
Make it a hoagie.
191
00:07:33,821 --> 00:07:35,188
Advance said he should
get a cheesesteak.
192
00:07:35,255 --> 00:07:36,223
Trust me, make it a hoagie.
193
00:07:38,225 --> 00:07:39,627
Press is a little antsy.
194
00:07:39,693 --> 00:07:41,495
Yeah. Tell 'em national polls
are meaningless.
195
00:07:41,562 --> 00:07:42,863
Staff's a little
antsy, too.
Yeah.
196
00:07:42,930 --> 00:07:44,532
You guys have been
behind closed doors
197
00:07:44,598 --> 00:07:45,699
since we got to Philly.
Killer game of Boggle.
198
00:07:45,766 --> 00:07:46,366
Since we got to Philly.
199
00:07:46,433 --> 00:07:47,935
Donna...
200
00:07:48,001 --> 00:07:49,537
There's a rumor we're
pulling out of Arizona.
201
00:07:49,603 --> 00:07:52,405
Okay, I need you
to kill that rumor.
202
00:07:52,472 --> 00:07:54,374
Is that because we're moving
money into Illinois?
203
00:07:54,441 --> 00:07:56,610
LOU:
Josh. Joshua!
204
00:07:56,677 --> 00:07:58,311
We just picked up
five points in Illinois.
205
00:07:58,378 --> 00:07:59,312
What?
206
00:07:59,379 --> 00:08:00,681
Illinois tracking poll.
207
00:08:00,748 --> 00:08:02,583
We're... we're down
by nine points.
208
00:08:02,650 --> 00:08:04,351
Not anymore.
209
00:08:04,417 --> 00:08:05,753
Let me see that.
What's going on?
210
00:08:05,819 --> 00:08:07,354
We're only down four
in Illinois.
211
00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:08,889
Really?
We've barely spent
any money there.
212
00:08:08,956 --> 00:08:10,057
I'm going to call you back.
213
00:08:10,123 --> 00:08:11,258
This could be a mistake.
214
00:08:11,324 --> 00:08:12,660
We should have Joey re-run this
in the morning.
215
00:08:12,726 --> 00:08:14,127
No, this has gotta be the Trib.
216
00:08:14,194 --> 00:08:15,495
The Tribune endorsement
put us within four?
217
00:08:15,563 --> 00:08:16,830
JOSH:
Wow.
218
00:08:16,897 --> 00:08:18,131
Four points,
the state's in play.
219
00:08:18,198 --> 00:08:19,066
LOU:
We need
220
00:08:19,132 --> 00:08:20,133
a big media buy, huge.
221
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,335
Maybe a swing through Chicago,
this week.
222
00:08:22,402 --> 00:08:23,771
21 electoral votes.
223
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:25,739
Close a door, open a roof.
224
00:08:25,806 --> 00:08:27,608
LOU:
I'm thinking
a 1500 rating points buy?
225
00:08:27,675 --> 00:08:28,942
Maybe 2,000?
226
00:08:30,944 --> 00:08:33,380
Where the hell
are we gonna get the money?
227
00:08:33,446 --> 00:08:35,415
ABBEY:
Nice of you to drop by.
228
00:08:35,482 --> 00:08:37,250
PRESIDENT:
I missed dinner.
229
00:08:37,317 --> 00:08:39,252
Only by an hour and a half.
230
00:08:39,319 --> 00:08:40,888
( sighs )
231
00:08:40,954 --> 00:08:44,357
Don't worry, Ellie
had a wonderful time.
232
00:08:44,424 --> 00:08:46,026
I, on the other hand,
233
00:08:46,093 --> 00:08:49,129
was stuck in a corner
with Vic's uncle.
234
00:08:49,196 --> 00:08:50,263
A botanist.
235
00:08:50,330 --> 00:08:52,733
You would have liked him.
236
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,167
I'm getting too old
for this job.
237
00:08:54,234 --> 00:08:55,769
Really.
238
00:08:55,836 --> 00:08:58,972
It was their relatives,
who we don't particularly know,
239
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:03,143
and our relatives,
who we don't particularly like.
240
00:09:03,210 --> 00:09:04,778
They understood.
241
00:09:04,845 --> 00:09:07,781
The Faisons were
so busy playing host,
242
00:09:07,848 --> 00:09:09,650
they barely noticed.
243
00:09:09,717 --> 00:09:11,551
Although we did decide
on Uncle Norman
244
00:09:11,619 --> 00:09:13,353
as a possible stand-in
for you tomorrow.
245
00:09:13,420 --> 00:09:14,688
A stand-in?
246
00:09:14,755 --> 00:09:15,989
Worst case scenario.
247
00:09:16,056 --> 00:09:18,158
Uncle Norman?
248
00:09:18,225 --> 00:09:19,559
He is a bit of a tippler,
249
00:09:19,627 --> 00:09:23,363
but he's reliably punctual
when there's an open bar.
250
00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:24,865
You'll have time
251
00:09:24,932 --> 00:09:27,200
to practice the dance with Ellie
before the wedding.
252
00:09:27,267 --> 00:09:28,602
I'll find her tomorrow.
253
00:09:28,669 --> 00:09:30,170
Sure. Well, you know
we do have
254
00:09:30,237 --> 00:09:32,105
the foreign dignitaries
gift reception
255
00:09:32,172 --> 00:09:34,307
starting with the Bermudian
Ambassador at 9:00.
256
00:09:34,374 --> 00:09:35,575
Okay.
257
00:09:35,643 --> 00:09:37,377
And hair at 10:00,
make-up at 11:30...
258
00:09:37,444 --> 00:09:38,411
( elevator bell dings )
259
00:09:38,478 --> 00:09:39,546
LOU:
Maybe we could
260
00:09:39,613 --> 00:09:40,914
pull some money
out of New York.
261
00:09:40,981 --> 00:09:42,449
No, we need to be at
full force in New York
262
00:09:42,515 --> 00:09:43,350
so we can shore up
northern Jersey.
263
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:44,752
What about Missouri?
264
00:09:44,818 --> 00:09:46,019
We're starting to
see some movement
265
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,087
in the independents
in St. Louis.
266
00:09:47,154 --> 00:09:48,221
Iowa?
267
00:09:48,288 --> 00:09:50,090
Yeah, but Chicago's
pretty pricey.
268
00:09:50,157 --> 00:09:51,725
Des Moines and Cedar Rapids
won't make much of a dent.
269
00:09:51,792 --> 00:09:53,560
I was really looking
forward to a hot bath.
270
00:09:53,627 --> 00:09:55,128
Well, conference
room, five minutes.
271
00:09:55,195 --> 00:09:56,664
Three day schedule,
point buys for the weekend,
272
00:09:56,730 --> 00:09:57,631
couple of calls.
273
00:09:57,698 --> 00:09:58,732
Yeah? Anything urgent?
274
00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:00,100
You got ten state party chairs
275
00:10:00,167 --> 00:10:02,102
worried you're gonna
pull local advertising.
276
00:10:02,169 --> 00:10:03,203
Anything else?
277
00:10:03,270 --> 00:10:04,672
Folks in Illinois
seem pretty excited.
278
00:10:04,738 --> 00:10:05,706
Yeah? Who called?
279
00:10:05,773 --> 00:10:07,574
Uh... Congressmen Sloan,
280
00:10:07,641 --> 00:10:08,876
Gabus, Arrow, Leiter,
both Senators
and the Governor.
281
00:10:08,942 --> 00:10:10,477
What about the guy
282
00:10:10,543 --> 00:10:12,579
who's running the DNC
field operation in Chicago?
283
00:10:12,646 --> 00:10:13,413
Three times
in the last half hour.
284
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,782
Get him on the phone.
285
00:10:14,848 --> 00:10:16,349
See if we can fit him in
for breakfast tomorrow.
286
00:10:16,416 --> 00:10:17,785
Okay, you realize
you have a breakfast
287
00:10:17,851 --> 00:10:19,352
every half hour
between 8:00 until 1:00.
288
00:10:19,419 --> 00:10:20,520
( phone rings )
The later ones must be lunches.
289
00:10:20,587 --> 00:10:21,989
Yeah.
290
00:10:22,055 --> 00:10:23,290
DONNA:
Tomorrow's photo op?
Yeah.
291
00:10:23,356 --> 00:10:24,692
The Governor's office
292
00:10:24,758 --> 00:10:26,126
said Baker'd be having
a cheesesteak.
293
00:10:26,193 --> 00:10:27,861
Okay.
Howard in advance
294
00:10:27,928 --> 00:10:29,596
is worried
about the comparative visual.
295
00:10:29,663 --> 00:10:31,732
They think the hoagie's
gonna look weak?
296
00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:33,166
I believe his exact words were
"pansy-ass."
297
00:10:33,233 --> 00:10:34,434
Howard's from Philly, right?
298
00:10:34,501 --> 00:10:35,535
Uh-huh.
299
00:10:35,602 --> 00:10:36,336
Okay, go with the cheesesteak.
300
00:10:36,403 --> 00:10:37,637
Yeah.
301
00:10:37,705 --> 00:10:39,139
But, uh, prep him
on how to order it.
302
00:10:39,206 --> 00:10:42,142
No Swiss, no Muenster,
he gets it with sauce and Whiz.
303
00:10:42,209 --> 00:10:43,143
Whiz?
304
00:10:43,210 --> 00:10:44,311
Cheez Whiz.
Ask Howard.
305
00:10:44,377 --> 00:10:46,213
And no onions.
306
00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:48,148
He's got a photo op with
the President at the wedding.
307
00:10:48,215 --> 00:10:49,316
I don't want him
knocking him over
308
00:10:49,382 --> 00:10:50,784
with the breath.
Got it.
309
00:10:50,851 --> 00:10:53,286
Thanks, guys.
310
00:10:53,353 --> 00:10:55,288
( sighs )
311
00:10:55,355 --> 00:10:56,656
I'm getting calls
about Illinois.
312
00:10:56,724 --> 00:10:58,391
Well, tell them we're excited.
313
00:10:58,458 --> 00:11:00,493
Press is wondering who decided
not to contest the state.
314
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:02,029
Tell them I did.
315
00:11:02,095 --> 00:11:03,931
Tell them I also made
the decision
316
00:11:03,997 --> 00:11:06,299
not to contest Georgia,
where we're down by 11,
317
00:11:06,366 --> 00:11:09,136
and not to contest Mississippi,
where we're down 15.
318
00:11:09,202 --> 00:11:09,837
You ready?
Yeah.
319
00:11:09,903 --> 00:11:10,971
I got to go.
320
00:11:11,038 --> 00:11:14,341
ABBEY:
I think I can
321
00:11:14,407 --> 00:11:15,943
pencil you in
322
00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:17,477
between the pictures
and the ceremony.
323
00:11:17,544 --> 00:11:19,246
Yeah.
324
00:11:19,312 --> 00:11:20,881
Besides, rumor has it
325
00:11:20,948 --> 00:11:22,649
that you're gonna
have a little chat
326
00:11:22,716 --> 00:11:23,751
with the groom
tomorrow morning.
327
00:11:23,817 --> 00:11:25,152
I am.
328
00:11:25,218 --> 00:11:27,387
Well, that will be lovely,
I'm sure.
329
00:11:27,454 --> 00:11:28,756
What? I did it with Doug.
330
00:11:28,822 --> 00:11:30,323
Yeah.
331
00:11:30,390 --> 00:11:32,826
I don't recall that
as being an unqualified success.
332
00:11:32,893 --> 00:11:36,063
Well, now I've had a run at it.
333
00:11:36,129 --> 00:11:38,298
You do know that talking him out
of marrying your daughter
334
00:11:38,365 --> 00:11:40,067
is not an option.
335
00:11:40,133 --> 00:11:41,969
Yeah.
336
00:11:47,307 --> 00:11:49,843
You really think
it's not an option?
337
00:11:58,351 --> 00:11:59,820
( TV plays quietly
in the background )
338
00:11:59,887 --> 00:12:01,989
New Hampshire, Iowa, Wisconsin.
339
00:12:06,659 --> 00:12:09,096
Pull out of the original five.
340
00:12:09,162 --> 00:12:11,464
We go dark in
New Hampshire.
341
00:12:11,531 --> 00:12:14,001
We halve the ad buy
342
00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:17,137
in Wisconsin and Iowa.
343
00:12:17,204 --> 00:12:18,305
You sure?
344
00:12:27,214 --> 00:12:29,016
Yeah.
345
00:12:29,082 --> 00:12:31,284
Hallelujah. Do you want me
to call the media team?
346
00:12:31,351 --> 00:12:32,820
No. I'm meeting with a couple
of Congressmen
347
00:12:32,886 --> 00:12:34,154
from Wisconsin tomorrow.
348
00:12:34,221 --> 00:12:35,655
Let me break the news
to them first.
349
00:12:35,722 --> 00:12:40,193
Okay. I'm going to head out.
350
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:40,693
Wait.
351
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,096
Oh!
352
00:12:45,265 --> 00:12:46,499
( sighs )
353
00:12:46,566 --> 00:12:47,767
( TV continues playing )
354
00:12:47,835 --> 00:12:49,970
No, this is right. We got it.
355
00:12:52,439 --> 00:12:55,042
MAN ( on TV ):
No question the latest
Illinois tracking polls
356
00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:57,610
change this race dramatically...
357
00:12:57,677 --> 00:12:59,112
( sighs )
358
00:12:59,179 --> 00:13:00,180
...throw a whole new light
on the electoral map,
359
00:13:00,247 --> 00:13:02,015
but at Santos' headquarters,
360
00:13:02,082 --> 00:13:04,017
I'm not entirely certain
they should be celebrating.
361
00:13:04,084 --> 00:13:07,654
Look, they picked up five points
in Illinois.
362
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,256
Sure, it's terrific news,
363
00:13:09,322 --> 00:13:11,258
but the question we need
to be asking is,
364
00:13:11,324 --> 00:13:13,093
why wasn't Santos there
in the first place?
365
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,662
And if you ask me,
it's a pretty big tactical error
366
00:13:15,728 --> 00:13:17,130
on the part of Josh Lyman.
367
00:13:17,197 --> 00:13:18,098
Need a ride?
368
00:13:18,165 --> 00:13:19,699
Illinois' 21 electoral votes
369
00:13:19,766 --> 00:13:20,800
No, I got to finish
up a few things.
370
00:13:20,868 --> 00:13:22,402
are a huge factor, gigantic.
371
00:13:22,469 --> 00:13:24,037
Suit yourself.
372
00:13:24,104 --> 00:13:25,939
Lyman should have been watching
the sampling in Evanston.
373
00:13:26,006 --> 00:13:28,641
Of course, this campaign
is still salvageable,
374
00:13:28,708 --> 00:13:29,943
but he certainly can't afford
375
00:13:30,010 --> 00:13:32,612
to make another
Illinois-sized mistake,
376
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,614
which is why I think
some people have begun
377
00:13:34,681 --> 00:13:37,684
to question whether Josh Lyman
is the right guy
378
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:39,987
to take the Santos campaign
down the stretch.
379
00:13:45,258 --> 00:13:47,928
to "Sorge Nel Petto,"
the aria Goffredo sings
380
00:13:47,995 --> 00:13:50,063
to his daughter
in Handel's Rinaldo.
381
00:13:50,130 --> 00:13:53,867
The aria was picked
for its beauty and its text,
382
00:13:53,934 --> 00:13:55,903
which translates roughly
383
00:13:55,969 --> 00:13:58,805
to "A certain delight surges
from my breast
384
00:13:58,872 --> 00:14:00,640
and promises to calm my heart."
385
00:14:00,707 --> 00:14:02,175
That's lovely.
386
00:14:02,242 --> 00:14:04,044
I made it up. Don't tell.
387
00:14:04,111 --> 00:14:05,445
There's nothing better on?
388
00:14:05,512 --> 00:14:07,180
Well, I like
to start the weekend
389
00:14:07,247 --> 00:14:09,482
with a little post game
analysis, you know, stay sharp.
390
00:14:09,549 --> 00:14:10,683
Uh, no. Ellie decided
391
00:14:10,750 --> 00:14:12,920
to go with the pau de soir
Monique Lhuillier
392
00:14:12,986 --> 00:14:13,887
instead of the lace Vera Wang.
393
00:14:13,954 --> 00:14:15,022
Uh-huh.
394
00:14:15,088 --> 00:14:15,822
Is there something you need?
395
00:14:15,889 --> 00:14:17,290
Need to take a look
396
00:14:17,357 --> 00:14:19,559
at the seating chart
for the wedding reception.
397
00:14:19,626 --> 00:14:20,793
Sure.
398
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:22,362
Pau de soir?
399
00:14:22,429 --> 00:14:24,131
Apparently, it's
soft, yet supple.
400
00:14:24,197 --> 00:14:25,565
Oh, and it drapes
beautifully.
401
00:14:25,632 --> 00:14:27,600
Yeah.
402
00:14:32,139 --> 00:14:33,840
Who put the British Royals
at the table
403
00:14:33,907 --> 00:14:36,043
with the German Ambassador?
404
00:14:36,109 --> 00:14:38,045
Ah, still smarting over
the World Cup Match?
405
00:14:38,111 --> 00:14:39,212
Well, that and the devaluation
of the pound.
406
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:40,347
Right.
407
00:14:40,413 --> 00:14:42,449
How about we swap in the
Scottish ambassador?
408
00:14:42,515 --> 00:14:44,651
Hmm. Queen and the Scottish
ambassador had a thing.
409
00:14:44,717 --> 00:14:46,153
A thing?
410
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:48,021
It was a while back,
but still.
Sure.
411
00:14:48,088 --> 00:14:50,557
Do you mind if I take this
for a little while?
412
00:15:01,201 --> 00:15:03,870
New Hampshire, Iowa, Wisconsin.
413
00:15:03,937 --> 00:15:05,272
Good morning
to you, too.
414
00:15:05,338 --> 00:15:06,873
You here to sit with Jarin?
415
00:15:06,940 --> 00:15:09,142
And then Trotman
and Alexander. You?
416
00:15:09,209 --> 00:15:11,578
Uh, Chicago field rep, Cooper,
417
00:15:11,644 --> 00:15:13,513
Steel, Goldin, Walvick.
418
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:16,083
I'm thinking New Hampshire,
Iowa, Wisconsin.
419
00:15:16,149 --> 00:15:17,684
Did you get
some sleep?
420
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:20,120
We cut New Hampshire, pull money
out of Iowa and Wisconsin.
421
00:15:20,187 --> 00:15:22,055
Really, you got
to pace yourself.
422
00:15:22,122 --> 00:15:23,690
I mean, New Hampshire's
a no-brainer.
423
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:25,925
I'm serious. You
should be getting at
least five hours.
424
00:15:25,993 --> 00:15:28,061
Only four electoral votes.
425
00:15:28,128 --> 00:15:30,297
We're paying a premium 'cause
the ad buy's out of Boston.
426
00:15:30,363 --> 00:15:31,864
Soon you're gonna be
at two hours a night,
427
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:33,733
and it only gets
worse if we win.
428
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:34,901
Leo.
429
00:15:34,968 --> 00:15:35,735
New Hampshire.
430
00:15:35,802 --> 00:15:36,970
Yeah.
431
00:15:37,037 --> 00:15:39,072
It's not worth the ad buy.
432
00:15:39,139 --> 00:15:39,973
Iowa and Wisconsin.
433
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,241
Iowa, sure.
434
00:15:41,308 --> 00:15:42,609
How much we up
in Wisconsin?
435
00:15:42,675 --> 00:15:43,910
Three points,
and the Illinois ad buy
436
00:15:43,977 --> 00:15:45,245
should carry into Wisconsin.
437
00:15:45,312 --> 00:15:47,014
You considered
cutbacks in Missouri?
438
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,982
We're only down two points.
I don't want to cede the state.
439
00:15:49,049 --> 00:15:51,118
Sounds right.
440
00:15:51,184 --> 00:15:53,386
Got to go make nice
with the fat cats.
441
00:15:53,453 --> 00:15:54,954
Yeah. Pick some pockets,
will you?
442
00:15:55,022 --> 00:15:56,056
Get some sleep.
443
00:15:56,123 --> 00:15:58,558
Yeah.
Josh?
444
00:15:58,625 --> 00:16:01,894
Stan Mitchell, DNC
field op, Chicago.
Stan, thanks for flying out.
445
00:16:01,961 --> 00:16:03,563
I've been telling
you guys we got a
shot in Illinois.
446
00:16:03,630 --> 00:16:05,265
Just wish you'd
called sooner.
447
00:16:05,332 --> 00:16:06,933
Just tell me we can get
the full field operation ready
448
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,635
by November 8.
449
00:16:08,701 --> 00:16:10,637
To be honest, you're asking for
a six month job in six weeks.
450
00:16:10,703 --> 00:16:13,540
Sure, we can get it up,
but it's gonna cost you.
451
00:16:15,942 --> 00:16:19,546
MAN:
In Bermuda, it is traditional
to place a cedar sapling
452
00:16:19,612 --> 00:16:22,382
atop the wedding cake
and then plant it
453
00:16:22,449 --> 00:16:25,518
at the home
of the bride and groom.
454
00:16:25,585 --> 00:16:26,886
I bring this sapling
455
00:16:26,953 --> 00:16:28,421
from Warwick Pond,
456
00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:31,658
one of the few surviving
cedar forests on the island.
457
00:16:31,724 --> 00:16:33,993
May it grow with your love.
458
00:16:34,061 --> 00:16:35,828
Thank you very much.
459
00:16:35,895 --> 00:16:37,697
You are most welcome.
460
00:16:41,101 --> 00:16:42,835
Mr. Ambassador.
461
00:16:42,902 --> 00:16:44,437
ABBEY:
It's beautiful.
462
00:16:44,504 --> 00:16:45,872
Yes.
463
00:16:45,938 --> 00:16:47,707
We'll keep it off the cake.
464
00:16:47,774 --> 00:16:49,509
Yes.
465
00:16:49,576 --> 00:16:51,010
The French Ambassador,
466
00:16:51,078 --> 00:16:52,779
the honorable Julian Lefort.
467
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:54,647
Bonjour, Monsieur.
468
00:16:57,117 --> 00:16:58,385
How many of
these do we have?
469
00:16:58,451 --> 00:16:59,819
There were a couple
of additions--
470
00:16:59,886 --> 00:17:01,621
the Greek Ambassador,
the Latvians.
471
00:17:01,688 --> 00:17:03,823
The Romanian Foreign Minister
happens to be in town.
472
00:17:03,890 --> 00:17:06,593
All told,
that brings us to... 71.
473
00:17:06,659 --> 00:17:08,795
The hairdresser
comes at 10:00.
474
00:17:08,861 --> 00:17:10,797
Maybe we ought to skip Romania.
475
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:13,133
Or all of
Eastern Europe.
476
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,701
The three convoys--
477
00:17:14,767 --> 00:17:16,703
they're still holding
at the Kazakhstan border?
478
00:17:16,769 --> 00:17:17,804
Yes, sir.
479
00:17:17,870 --> 00:17:19,239
Their restraint is admirable.
480
00:17:19,306 --> 00:17:20,407
HUTCHINSON:
Maybe not.
Our keyhole
481
00:17:20,473 --> 00:17:22,041
satellites took
these photographs
482
00:17:22,109 --> 00:17:23,876
of the Russian military base
in Omsk
483
00:17:23,943 --> 00:17:25,044
two hours ago.
484
00:17:25,112 --> 00:17:26,346
Looks like
a couple of battalions.
485
00:17:26,413 --> 00:17:27,847
Close to
100,000 men.
486
00:17:27,914 --> 00:17:29,249
They've got to be posturing.
487
00:17:29,316 --> 00:17:31,151
Sure, but 100,000 Russians
to the west,
488
00:17:31,218 --> 00:17:33,186
one sixth of the Chinese army
to the east...
489
00:17:33,253 --> 00:17:36,223
We should consider evacuating
the marine base outside Ayaguz.
490
00:17:36,289 --> 00:17:37,357
KATE:
The base is critical
491
00:17:37,424 --> 00:17:38,858
to our interests
in Central Asia.
492
00:17:38,925 --> 00:17:40,760
Not to mention that both sides
are gonna have one less
493
00:17:40,827 --> 00:17:42,995
reason to restrain themselves
once we pull out.
494
00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:44,331
C.J.:
Yeah, you're talking about
495
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,998
leaving 9,000 Marines
in the middle
496
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:49,136
of a wrestling match between
two 800,000 pound gorillas.
497
00:17:49,202 --> 00:17:50,737
How do we get our men out?
498
00:17:50,803 --> 00:17:52,272
Airlift to the Arabian Sea.
499
00:17:59,946 --> 00:18:01,548
Can I get you anything?
500
00:18:01,614 --> 00:18:02,615
No, thank you.
501
00:18:02,682 --> 00:18:03,450
Water?
502
00:18:03,516 --> 00:18:04,050
No.
503
00:18:04,117 --> 00:18:04,884
Coffee?
504
00:18:04,951 --> 00:18:05,585
No.
505
00:18:05,652 --> 00:18:06,853
Valium?
506
00:18:08,655 --> 00:18:09,889
How long will it take
after I give the word?
507
00:18:09,956 --> 00:18:11,258
72 hours,
508
00:18:11,324 --> 00:18:12,559
assuming our ships are
in position.
509
00:18:12,625 --> 00:18:14,494
( knock at door )
Yeah?
510
00:18:14,561 --> 00:18:17,096
Your 10:00 is starting to melt.
511
00:18:17,164 --> 00:18:18,698
Yeah, send him in.
512
00:18:18,765 --> 00:18:21,768
Move a dozen evac transports
into theArabian Sea
513
00:18:21,834 --> 00:18:23,403
and put them
on ready alert.
Yes, sir.
514
00:18:23,470 --> 00:18:26,173
C.J., let's get
the Kazakhstan ambassador
515
00:18:26,239 --> 00:18:27,874
in here tomorrow.
516
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:31,077
See if we can't convince them
to reschedule elections before
517
00:18:31,144 --> 00:18:32,445
their country becomes
a rugby field.
518
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:36,816
Gentlemen, my
future son-in-law.
519
00:18:36,883 --> 00:18:38,451
Congratulations.
520
00:18:38,518 --> 00:18:40,553
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
521
00:18:41,854 --> 00:18:42,855
Congratulations.
522
00:18:42,922 --> 00:18:43,856
Thank you.
523
00:18:43,923 --> 00:18:45,758
Sir.
524
00:18:45,825 --> 00:18:47,860
Thank you.
525
00:18:49,462 --> 00:18:50,463
Sir.
526
00:18:50,530 --> 00:18:51,731
Tell me
you didn't plan that.
527
00:18:51,798 --> 00:18:53,633
COOPER:
You go dark in Wisconsin...
528
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:55,602
Congressman, we're just talking
about trimming the ad buy.
529
00:18:55,668 --> 00:18:58,205
If anything, we need more money
in the state.
530
00:18:58,271 --> 00:18:59,439
We still have a 500 point buy
in Green Bay,
531
00:18:59,506 --> 00:19:00,973
a 500 point buy in Milwaukee...
532
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,775
Vinick's got 1,500 points
out of Green Bay,
533
00:19:02,842 --> 00:19:04,677
Milwaukee, Madison.
534
00:19:04,744 --> 00:19:06,179
He's outspending you guys
two to one.
( phone rings )
535
00:19:06,246 --> 00:19:07,180
I can try to have
the Congressman
536
00:19:07,247 --> 00:19:09,349
make a few stops in Wisconsin...
537
00:19:09,416 --> 00:19:11,150
Come on. You know it's all
about the media buy.
538
00:19:11,218 --> 00:19:13,520
Now, look, I know Vinick's
pressuring you everywhere,
539
00:19:13,586 --> 00:19:15,388
and I'm thrilled you've
made headway in Illinois,
540
00:19:15,455 --> 00:19:17,089
but we've got six contested
congressional districts
541
00:19:17,156 --> 00:19:18,858
in Wisconsin, not to mention
a very tough Senate race.
542
00:19:18,925 --> 00:19:19,992
( phone rings )
543
00:19:20,059 --> 00:19:21,428
Without national
ad support,
544
00:19:21,494 --> 00:19:23,230
we could lose every
one of those campaigns.
545
00:19:23,296 --> 00:19:23,963
You need to take that?
546
00:19:24,030 --> 00:19:25,865
I do.
547
00:19:25,932 --> 00:19:27,500
( sighs )
548
00:19:27,567 --> 00:19:29,369
You're up four in Jersey
and three in Michigan.
549
00:19:29,436 --> 00:19:31,103
You should trim back there.
550
00:19:31,170 --> 00:19:32,405
Thanks for stopping by,
Congressman.
551
00:19:32,472 --> 00:19:33,940
Appreciate your input.
552
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:35,141
Hey, how was Philly?
553
00:19:35,208 --> 00:19:36,142
DONNA:
Pretty good.
554
00:19:36,209 --> 00:19:37,109
Pretty good.
555
00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:38,878
Did you get the photo op?
556
00:19:38,945 --> 00:19:41,348
No, we got it. Little problem
with the cheese steak, though.
557
00:19:41,414 --> 00:19:42,582
He screwed up the order.
558
00:19:42,649 --> 00:19:44,050
Sauce and whiz, no onions.
559
00:19:44,116 --> 00:19:45,218
That sounds fine.
560
00:19:45,285 --> 00:19:46,686
The whiz got a little drippy.
561
00:19:46,753 --> 00:19:48,187
How drippy?
562
00:19:48,255 --> 00:19:51,424
He probably should
have ordered the hoagie.
563
00:19:51,491 --> 00:19:52,992
Who was at the photo op?
564
00:19:53,059 --> 00:19:55,828
AP, Reuters, the Times,
565
00:19:55,895 --> 00:19:57,464
Le Monde... We figure
566
00:19:57,530 --> 00:19:59,532
it's probably front page
of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
567
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:00,900
Any way you'd like me
to spin it?
568
00:20:00,967 --> 00:20:03,236
"Acts like a man,
eats like a man?"
569
00:20:03,303 --> 00:20:06,773
Uh, I got to go.
570
00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:07,774
Josh.
571
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,276
Senator.
572
00:20:09,342 --> 00:20:10,943
Great news about Illinois.
573
00:20:11,010 --> 00:20:12,279
Absolutely.
574
00:20:12,345 --> 00:20:13,713
Nice to have
it in play.
Sure.
575
00:20:13,780 --> 00:20:16,316
Shame we didn't start there
earlier.
576
00:20:16,383 --> 00:20:18,385
Well, we had some other
places we had to be.
577
00:20:18,451 --> 00:20:20,387
At 21 electoral votes
I'd have thought
578
00:20:20,453 --> 00:20:22,154
it'd be a little higher
on the priority list.
579
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:24,190
We're only up by
six in New York.
580
00:20:24,257 --> 00:20:27,260
Any states we're losing
by ten doesn't get
a lot of attention.
581
00:20:27,327 --> 00:20:28,528
So long as we start investing
there now.
582
00:20:28,595 --> 00:20:29,829
There's no question.
583
00:20:29,896 --> 00:20:31,230
Listen, I heard a rumor
you're thinking
584
00:20:31,298 --> 00:20:32,932
about pulling money
out of Iowa.
585
00:20:32,999 --> 00:20:35,067
We're thinking about
pulling money out
of a lot of places.
586
00:20:35,134 --> 00:20:37,236
As goes Iowa,
so goes the Midwest.
587
00:20:37,304 --> 00:20:39,272
I'd cut back
in Philadelphia.
588
00:20:39,339 --> 00:20:41,841
See you at the wedding, Josh.
589
00:20:41,908 --> 00:20:43,943
Yes, sir.
590
00:20:45,912 --> 00:20:47,714
( sighs )
591
00:20:50,750 --> 00:20:52,018
You... done?
592
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:53,286
Uh, just about.
593
00:20:53,353 --> 00:20:54,554
Want to take a look?
594
00:20:54,621 --> 00:20:55,755
Sure.
595
00:20:55,822 --> 00:20:57,189
( sighs )
596
00:20:57,256 --> 00:20:58,858
The Canadian Prime Minister
won't mind being stuck
597
00:20:58,925 --> 00:21:00,059
in the corner?
598
00:21:00,126 --> 00:21:01,761
It's for the best.
He's a little grabby.
599
00:21:01,828 --> 00:21:02,895
Really?
600
00:21:02,962 --> 00:21:06,098
Brings a whole new meaning
to "O Canada!"
601
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:07,233
K.H. plus one?
602
00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:08,535
Oh, that's me.
603
00:21:08,601 --> 00:21:10,169
President wanted someone
from the NSC to go.
604
00:21:10,236 --> 00:21:11,438
Smooth over any
international incidents?
605
00:21:11,504 --> 00:21:12,705
Prevent, more like.
606
00:21:12,772 --> 00:21:13,973
Sure.
You're not going?
607
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,408
Wasn't invited.
608
00:21:15,475 --> 00:21:17,143
I was concerned
it might have
something to do
609
00:21:17,209 --> 00:21:19,812
with my encounter with the happy
couple last weekend, but
610
00:21:19,879 --> 00:21:22,014
I hear it's a
small affair.
611
00:21:23,683 --> 00:21:25,385
Is there something on my...?
612
00:21:25,452 --> 00:21:26,386
Do you own a tux?
613
00:21:26,453 --> 00:21:27,887
Excuse me?
614
00:21:27,954 --> 00:21:29,722
I mean,
I was just gonna go stag, but...
615
00:21:29,789 --> 00:21:31,257
if you're not busy later,
616
00:21:31,324 --> 00:21:33,059
don't have anything...
617
00:21:33,125 --> 00:21:35,362
to do.
618
00:21:46,473 --> 00:21:48,475
You clean up nice.
619
00:21:48,541 --> 00:21:51,010
Don't start. I already got it
from Helen.
620
00:21:51,077 --> 00:21:52,345
Philadelphia cheese steak--
621
00:21:52,412 --> 00:21:54,013
it's a political rite
of passage.
622
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,649
Yeah, wait until
you see the pictures. It's...
623
00:21:56,716 --> 00:21:58,985
It's only gonna endear you
to the Eagles fans in Philly
624
00:21:59,051 --> 00:22:00,086
and south Jersey.
625
00:22:00,152 --> 00:22:01,921
Had a little chat with Baker.
626
00:22:01,988 --> 00:22:03,423
How is the Governor?
627
00:22:03,490 --> 00:22:05,558
He's concerned. He's concerned
about the campaign,
628
00:22:05,625 --> 00:22:06,993
wondering why we weren't
in Illinois,
629
00:22:07,059 --> 00:22:09,195
why we're not spending more
in Pennsylvania.
630
00:22:09,261 --> 00:22:10,897
Monday morning quarterbacking.
631
00:22:10,963 --> 00:22:12,765
It's a favorite pastime
in Philadelphia.
632
00:22:12,832 --> 00:22:14,501
He's not the only one
that's concerned.
633
00:22:14,567 --> 00:22:16,703
I've gotten calls.
634
00:22:16,769 --> 00:22:18,104
Josh?
635
00:22:19,606 --> 00:22:21,007
We're six
weeks out,
636
00:22:21,073 --> 00:22:24,411
still down seven,
vultures are gonna swarm.
637
00:22:26,679 --> 00:22:28,548
I just want to make sure
638
00:22:28,615 --> 00:22:31,818
they're not swarming
for a reason.
639
00:22:31,884 --> 00:22:35,755
No one else I'd rather have
running this campaign.
640
00:22:35,822 --> 00:22:38,791
Congressman, you wanted
to screen the new Texas ad buy?
641
00:22:38,858 --> 00:22:40,760
Yeah. I'll see you
down there in ten?
642
00:22:40,827 --> 00:22:42,629
Yeah.
643
00:22:59,345 --> 00:23:00,780
Josh?
644
00:23:00,847 --> 00:23:02,381
Think we should cut
the media buy in Missouri?
645
00:23:02,449 --> 00:23:03,450
Aren't you supposed
to be at the...
646
00:23:03,516 --> 00:23:04,316
Missouri or maybe New York.
647
00:23:04,383 --> 00:23:05,818
To pay for Illinois?
648
00:23:05,885 --> 00:23:07,420
We should also take
a harder look at Michigan.
649
00:23:07,487 --> 00:23:09,422
I just called the media team to
pull the money out of Wisconsin.
650
00:23:09,489 --> 00:23:10,757
Yeah, we're gonna
hold off on that.
651
00:23:10,823 --> 00:23:12,258
Josh, your car's ready.
652
00:23:12,324 --> 00:23:14,827
I'll call you after the wedding.
653
00:23:14,894 --> 00:23:18,731
I know you think this is
probably old-fashioned,
654
00:23:18,798 --> 00:23:23,703
but, frankly, it's much more
humane than it used to be.
655
00:23:23,770 --> 00:23:26,839
Abbey's father made me take
a six-hour hike with him
656
00:23:26,906 --> 00:23:29,141
through the woods
outside Montpelier
657
00:23:29,208 --> 00:23:31,310
in the dead of winter.
658
00:23:31,377 --> 00:23:34,213
At least it felt like six hours.
659
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,515
( chuckles )
660
00:23:35,582 --> 00:23:37,884
Of course I was still
a grad student then,
661
00:23:37,950 --> 00:23:41,187
whereas you're almost
a tenured professor.
662
00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:42,589
Isn't that right?
663
00:23:42,655 --> 00:23:47,226
Ah, yes, um, at least
the Dean suggested--
664
00:23:47,293 --> 00:23:48,928
I mean, in the next few years...
665
00:23:48,995 --> 00:23:50,830
Good, good.
666
00:23:50,897 --> 00:23:54,300
'Cause, before you know it,
you'll have a house and kids...
667
00:23:54,366 --> 00:23:55,434
( knock on door )
668
00:23:55,502 --> 00:23:56,703
Yeah?
669
00:23:56,769 --> 00:23:59,038
Sir, the guests
are starting to arrive.
670
00:23:59,105 --> 00:24:00,439
Yeah.
You should be
671
00:24:00,507 --> 00:24:01,874
heading back
to the residence to change.
672
00:24:01,941 --> 00:24:03,476
You don't
want to be
673
00:24:03,543 --> 00:24:05,512
late to the cocktail hour
you're hosting.
674
00:24:05,578 --> 00:24:06,779
Thank you, Debbie.
675
00:24:08,214 --> 00:24:12,151
Well, thanks for dropping by.
676
00:24:12,218 --> 00:24:17,089
Sir, was there something
that you wanted to discuss?
677
00:24:17,156 --> 00:24:21,427
No, no. I just thought, you
know, when you have a daughter,
678
00:24:21,494 --> 00:24:23,930
you'd just like to know.
679
00:24:23,996 --> 00:24:26,599
You really want
to know whether...
680
00:24:26,666 --> 00:24:30,703
Ah, hell, just tell me
you decided to marry her
681
00:24:30,770 --> 00:24:33,540
before you got her pregnant.
682
00:24:35,742 --> 00:24:38,210
11 months, two weeks
and three days.
683
00:24:38,277 --> 00:24:39,612
Excuse me?
684
00:24:39,679 --> 00:24:42,515
That's when I decided
to marry her.
685
00:24:42,582 --> 00:24:45,618
A year ago.
On our third date.
686
00:24:46,919 --> 00:24:49,488
What was the matter
with the first two?
687
00:24:53,693 --> 00:24:55,928
I'll see you
at the end of the aisle.
688
00:24:55,995 --> 00:24:59,331
Yeah, we're gonna need the new
numbers from Michigan, too.
689
00:24:59,398 --> 00:25:02,501
Yeah.
Thanks, Otto.
690
00:25:03,836 --> 00:25:07,239
Ah, Josh, he's a big blowhard.
691
00:25:07,306 --> 00:25:08,440
C.J., Mr. Chairman.
692
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:09,809
Former chairman, Josh.
693
00:25:09,876 --> 00:25:11,544
Wishful thinking, maybe.
694
00:25:11,611 --> 00:25:12,912
No, those of us
on the sidelines
695
00:25:12,979 --> 00:25:14,714
can see what a great job
he's doing.
696
00:25:14,781 --> 00:25:16,282
I appreciate that, sir.
697
00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:18,685
Now if we can just get this one
to run for something.
698
00:25:19,786 --> 00:25:20,887
Good to see you, Josh.
You, too, sir.
699
00:25:20,953 --> 00:25:23,723
Keep up the good work.
Appreciate it.
700
00:25:23,790 --> 00:25:26,158
Barry Goodwin running the party,
those were the days, huh?
701
00:25:26,225 --> 00:25:27,426
Yeah.
702
00:25:27,493 --> 00:25:29,061
You guys must be excited.
703
00:25:29,128 --> 00:25:30,062
Huh?
704
00:25:30,129 --> 00:25:31,964
Illinois.
705
00:25:32,031 --> 00:25:34,266
Yeah. Hopefully,
we can afford it.
706
00:25:34,333 --> 00:25:35,401
Pinching pennies?
707
00:25:35,467 --> 00:25:36,736
Pretty much.
708
00:25:36,803 --> 00:25:38,137
You're up a bit in Washington.
709
00:25:38,204 --> 00:25:39,672
Can you take some money
out of Seattle?
710
00:25:39,739 --> 00:25:40,640
We're pulling out of Washington.
711
00:25:40,707 --> 00:25:42,074
Wow. Things that tight?
712
00:25:42,141 --> 00:25:43,242
Welcome to my world.
713
00:25:43,309 --> 00:25:46,445
( beeper beeps )
714
00:25:46,512 --> 00:25:47,680
Is that Kazakhstan?
715
00:25:47,747 --> 00:25:49,849
Probably.
Wanna trade?
716
00:25:49,916 --> 00:25:51,718
Here. Take your
mind off things.
717
00:25:51,784 --> 00:25:52,785
Dignitary bingo?
718
00:25:52,852 --> 00:25:54,253
I've already
got four across.
719
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,989
Find the Mexican President
and you're home.
720
00:26:02,061 --> 00:26:03,896
You look nice.
721
00:26:03,963 --> 00:26:05,397
Nothing says
international crisis
722
00:26:05,464 --> 00:26:06,666
like a pair of black stilettos.
723
00:26:06,733 --> 00:26:07,466
You know
what's going on?
724
00:26:07,533 --> 00:26:08,701
Just got paged.
725
00:26:08,768 --> 00:26:10,937
Yeah.
You really look nice.
726
00:26:11,003 --> 00:26:12,705
Okay, now I'm starting to
think you're hitting on me.
727
00:26:12,772 --> 00:26:14,173
No, I'm serious.
The make-up, the hair...
728
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,041
I try to impress.
729
00:26:15,107 --> 00:26:16,075
Who's the guy?
730
00:26:16,142 --> 00:26:17,276
What makes you think
there's a guy?
731
00:26:17,343 --> 00:26:18,577
The necklace,
the neckline,
732
00:26:18,645 --> 00:26:20,046
the earrings, the back...
733
00:26:20,112 --> 00:26:21,981
Okay, okay.
I have a date.
734
00:26:22,048 --> 00:26:22,882
Really.
735
00:26:22,949 --> 00:26:24,851
I think you'd call it a date.
736
00:26:24,917 --> 00:26:27,286
I kind of invited
Will to the wedding.
737
00:26:29,088 --> 00:26:31,457
Dark hair, glasses,
just got a big promotion.
738
00:26:31,523 --> 00:26:32,458
Will Bailey?
739
00:26:32,524 --> 00:26:33,559
Yeah, we were talking...
740
00:26:33,626 --> 00:26:35,094
You asked Will on a date?
741
00:26:35,161 --> 00:26:36,062
Technically, I just
invited him to the wedding.
742
00:26:36,128 --> 00:26:37,196
Will Bailey.
743
00:26:37,263 --> 00:26:38,665
Yeah, I'm gonna...
744
00:26:42,769 --> 00:26:44,170
What have we got, Miles?
745
00:26:44,236 --> 00:26:45,672
Other than the sensation
746
00:26:45,738 --> 00:26:47,940
that we've all suddenly landed
in a British drawing room farce.
747
00:26:48,007 --> 00:26:49,508
There's been an incident
in Kazakhstan.
748
00:26:49,575 --> 00:26:51,143
The protests at Alma Ata
749
00:26:51,210 --> 00:26:53,345
turned violent
and Tarimov sent in riot police.
750
00:26:53,412 --> 00:26:54,613
Any casualties?
751
00:26:54,681 --> 00:26:55,614
Our people on the
ground are saying
752
00:26:55,682 --> 00:26:56,683
it could be up to 200,
753
00:26:56,749 --> 00:26:58,050
many of them ethnic Chinese.
754
00:26:58,117 --> 00:26:59,285
The Russian convoys?
Have crossed the border.
755
00:26:59,351 --> 00:27:00,787
( computer beeps )
756
00:27:00,853 --> 00:27:02,822
We expect the Chinese
to start mobilizing any minute.
757
00:27:02,889 --> 00:27:04,590
DEBBIE:
Minority Leader.
758
00:27:04,657 --> 00:27:08,695
Postmaster General.
759
00:27:08,761 --> 00:27:11,397
Is that the Swiss
Ambassador over there?
760
00:27:11,463 --> 00:27:13,399
Is this a test?
761
00:27:13,465 --> 00:27:14,566
Dignitary bingo.
762
00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:15,601
Ten bucks a sheet.
You in?
763
00:27:15,668 --> 00:27:16,936
Aren't you supposed to be
764
00:27:17,003 --> 00:27:18,671
hurrying me someplace?
765
00:27:18,738 --> 00:27:20,106
Photo op with
Congressman Santos
766
00:27:20,172 --> 00:27:22,008
and then bridal party
photo at 4:00.
767
00:27:22,074 --> 00:27:23,409
So I've got a half an hour.
768
00:27:23,475 --> 00:27:26,012
Maybe. That the Swiss
Ambassador or not?
769
00:27:26,078 --> 00:27:27,646
How much you got riding on this?
770
00:27:27,714 --> 00:27:28,848
50 bucks.
771
00:27:28,915 --> 00:27:30,016
It's the Duke of Edinburgh.
772
00:27:30,082 --> 00:27:32,318
Oh.
Duke of Edinburgh.
773
00:27:32,384 --> 00:27:34,053
Congressman.
Mr. President.
774
00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:35,054
Leo.
775
00:27:35,121 --> 00:27:36,088
Welcome.
776
00:27:36,155 --> 00:27:38,124
I hear they like you
in Illinois.
777
00:27:38,190 --> 00:27:40,059
Apparently I'm
growing on them.
778
00:27:40,126 --> 00:27:43,529
After your performance in those
debates, I'm not surprised.
779
00:27:43,595 --> 00:27:44,496
Wasn't he something?
780
00:27:44,563 --> 00:27:45,597
Think that's impressive,
781
00:27:45,664 --> 00:27:46,833
you oughta see me
do cheesesteak.
782
00:27:46,899 --> 00:27:48,835
Senator Montgomery
wanted a word.
783
00:27:48,901 --> 00:27:50,636
That's my cue.
Find me later.
784
00:27:50,703 --> 00:27:52,104
We'll talk about Cabinet travel
785
00:27:52,171 --> 00:27:53,773
and ways we can be helpful
in the home stretch.
786
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:54,506
Thank you so much, sir.
787
00:27:54,573 --> 00:27:55,808
Good luck.
788
00:27:59,078 --> 00:28:01,848
So things are looking up, bub.
789
00:28:01,914 --> 00:28:04,050
We're making
some headway.
790
00:28:04,116 --> 00:28:05,484
You know if you win
this damn thing,
791
00:28:05,551 --> 00:28:08,020
you're stuck working here
another four years.
792
00:28:08,087 --> 00:28:10,356
I like to think
of the Vice Presidency
793
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:12,424
as more of an emeritus position.
794
00:28:12,491 --> 00:28:13,525
Sure.
795
00:28:13,592 --> 00:28:16,062
How's everything
on this end?
796
00:28:16,128 --> 00:28:20,399
Russia and China are doing their
little Sharks and Jets routine
797
00:28:20,466 --> 00:28:23,035
in Central Asia and Abbey's
got an understudy for me.
798
00:28:23,102 --> 00:28:24,036
Seriously?
799
00:28:24,103 --> 00:28:25,071
Yeah, Uncle Norman's
on call.
800
00:28:25,137 --> 00:28:26,205
Ouch.
801
00:28:26,272 --> 00:28:28,640
I've been getting
some calls about Josh.
802
00:28:28,707 --> 00:28:30,042
Yeah.
803
00:28:30,109 --> 00:28:34,680
Triplehorn, Nayak,
Stackhouse, Montgomery.
804
00:28:34,747 --> 00:28:38,450
Losing six weeks out,
people get antsy.
805
00:28:38,517 --> 00:28:40,119
Sure. It's always like
that around this time.
806
00:28:40,186 --> 00:28:41,120
Absolutely.
807
00:28:41,187 --> 00:28:43,890
Who'd they want to replace me?
808
00:28:45,424 --> 00:28:47,259
Okay, so maybe not always.
809
00:28:48,127 --> 00:28:49,295
Enough gossiping, ladies.
810
00:28:49,361 --> 00:28:51,130
Debbie, you look lovely
as always.
811
00:28:51,197 --> 00:28:52,331
You've got 20 minutes.
812
00:28:52,398 --> 00:28:54,133
I assume you
want to say hello
813
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:55,701
to the Duke
of Edinburgh.
814
00:28:55,768 --> 00:28:57,269
That's not the Duke
of Edinburgh.
815
00:28:57,336 --> 00:28:58,337
Catch you later.
816
00:29:00,239 --> 00:29:01,273
Hey.
817
00:29:01,340 --> 00:29:03,742
I thought the wedding photos
were at 4:00.
818
00:29:03,810 --> 00:29:05,211
We got a little
ahead of the game,
819
00:29:05,277 --> 00:29:06,846
so I thought you might
want to get in that dance.
820
00:29:06,913 --> 00:29:09,481
Have I mentioned
this mother of the bride thing
821
00:29:09,548 --> 00:29:10,716
agrees with you?
822
00:29:10,783 --> 00:29:12,418
When Liz got
married, you said
823
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,221
I didn't look old enough to
be the mother of the bride.
824
00:29:15,287 --> 00:29:16,155
You didn't.
825
00:29:16,222 --> 00:29:17,023
I do now?
826
00:29:17,089 --> 00:29:18,690
I didn't say that.
827
00:29:18,757 --> 00:29:20,126
What did you say?
828
00:29:20,192 --> 00:29:21,493
There any way
out of this for me?
829
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:22,494
Probably not.
830
00:29:22,561 --> 00:29:24,230
C.J.:
Mr. President.
831
00:29:24,296 --> 00:29:26,065
The Chinese troops
have started moving
into Kazakhstan.
832
00:29:26,132 --> 00:29:27,599
We've got a translator
in the Oval.
833
00:29:27,666 --> 00:29:29,368
We're getting the Premier
on the line now.
834
00:29:29,435 --> 00:29:32,338
It's okay. We'll do
the photos after.
835
00:29:33,539 --> 00:29:35,441
Jed?
836
00:29:35,507 --> 00:29:36,675
The service starts at 5:00.
837
00:29:36,742 --> 00:29:38,110
Yeah.
838
00:29:47,786 --> 00:29:48,988
Fried wonton?
839
00:29:49,055 --> 00:29:51,123
Hey.
840
00:29:51,190 --> 00:29:52,458
Really, they're
pretty good.
841
00:29:52,524 --> 00:29:53,826
Yeah.
842
00:29:53,893 --> 00:29:55,361
They're out of
champagne, though.
843
00:29:55,427 --> 00:29:56,528
Okay.
844
00:29:56,595 --> 00:29:58,497
The First Lady just
gave me 20 bucks,
845
00:29:58,564 --> 00:30:00,666
asked me to pick up
a bottle of Cold Duck...
846
00:30:00,732 --> 00:30:01,667
Uh-huh.
847
00:30:01,733 --> 00:30:02,801
Josh.
848
00:30:02,869 --> 00:30:03,836
I'm sorry.
849
00:30:03,903 --> 00:30:05,471
Have you seen Leo?
850
00:30:05,537 --> 00:30:07,006
I'm bored.
851
00:30:07,073 --> 00:30:08,674
I'm an attractive woman
waiting to be entertained.
852
00:30:08,740 --> 00:30:10,943
He was just with the President.
I'm sure he's still...
853
00:30:11,010 --> 00:30:12,244
I just saw him
heading toward the East Room.
854
00:30:12,311 --> 00:30:14,947
He was with
the Congressman.
855
00:30:15,014 --> 00:30:17,249
And Barry Goodwin
and Senator Montgomery.
856
00:30:17,316 --> 00:30:20,119
It looked
pretty intense.
857
00:30:21,487 --> 00:30:22,989
Illinois?
858
00:30:25,925 --> 00:30:28,294
I'm sure it's nothing
to worry about.
859
00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:35,234
Leo, I'm all for allegiance,
860
00:30:35,301 --> 00:30:37,336
but loyalty for loyalty's sake
is ridiculous.
861
00:30:37,403 --> 00:30:38,537
George...
862
00:30:38,604 --> 00:30:40,039
Josh got it wrong in Illinois.
863
00:30:40,106 --> 00:30:42,374
Sure, with the benefit
of hindsight...
864
00:30:42,441 --> 00:30:44,877
21 electoral votes.
865
00:30:44,944 --> 00:30:46,645
LEO:
I didn't see you calling
for a major effort
866
00:30:46,712 --> 00:30:48,647
in Illinois.
867
00:30:48,714 --> 00:30:50,416
Barry?
868
00:30:50,482 --> 00:30:53,819
Look, I have never seen
an electoral map
869
00:30:53,886 --> 00:30:56,122
as inside-out as this one.
870
00:30:56,188 --> 00:30:59,125
And as for Illinois,
we were ten points down.
871
00:30:59,191 --> 00:31:00,659
Chicago's one
of the most expensive
872
00:31:00,726 --> 00:31:01,827
media markets in the country.
873
00:31:01,894 --> 00:31:02,995
Now, spending money there
874
00:31:03,062 --> 00:31:04,330
would have meant
sacrificing Iowa,
875
00:31:04,396 --> 00:31:05,764
maybe Missouri,
876
00:31:05,831 --> 00:31:08,067
and possibly slimming our ad buy
in Wisconsin, but...
877
00:31:08,134 --> 00:31:09,701
It's cost us.
878
00:31:09,768 --> 00:31:11,270
Yes, it has.
879
00:31:11,337 --> 00:31:12,871
Polls move money
880
00:31:12,939 --> 00:31:14,173
as much as money
moves polls.
881
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,541
If you'd been
in Illinois,
882
00:31:15,607 --> 00:31:17,409
you would have gotten
this bump sooner,
883
00:31:17,476 --> 00:31:19,011
possibly seen a boost
in fund-raising.
884
00:31:19,078 --> 00:31:20,179
And maybe you wouldn't be
pulling out
885
00:31:20,246 --> 00:31:21,680
of so many states now.
886
00:31:21,747 --> 00:31:23,249
MONTGOMERY:
Josh Lyman's done
a terrific job.
887
00:31:23,315 --> 00:31:24,951
But, Congressman, I'm not sure
888
00:31:25,017 --> 00:31:27,286
he can see you through
to the finish line.
889
00:31:27,353 --> 00:31:29,688
Who can?
890
00:31:29,755 --> 00:31:32,925
GOODWIN:
Only one guy I'd want
running a campaign this tough.
891
00:31:32,992 --> 00:31:35,161
That's the guy
standing next to you.
892
00:31:51,143 --> 00:31:52,811
You should sit down.
893
00:31:52,878 --> 00:31:54,346
It'll wrinkle.
894
00:32:00,452 --> 00:32:02,154
You know, we considered
going to Las Vegas.
895
00:32:02,221 --> 00:32:04,023
Sounds pretty good
about now, huh?
896
00:32:04,090 --> 00:32:05,958
( knock at door )
897
00:32:06,025 --> 00:32:07,226
Come in.
898
00:32:07,293 --> 00:32:09,161
Uh, hi.
899
00:32:09,228 --> 00:32:11,363
Hello.
C.J. asked me
to tell you
900
00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:13,099
that they've started
circulating additional
901
00:32:13,165 --> 00:32:14,433
refreshments downstairs,
in case you were worried.
902
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:16,568
Any idea when the President
might be joining us?
903
00:32:16,635 --> 00:32:18,070
Afraid not.
904
00:32:20,939 --> 00:32:25,377
Well, I should, uh... get back.
905
00:32:25,444 --> 00:32:27,279
Congratulations.
906
00:32:28,647 --> 00:32:32,985
Why is Will Bailey
wearing a tux?
907
00:32:33,052 --> 00:32:35,187
Mr. President, we
cannot pull back.
908
00:32:35,254 --> 00:32:38,190
Lian, this doesn't
make any sense.
909
00:32:38,257 --> 00:32:39,791
The Russians supply you
with the oil
910
00:32:39,858 --> 00:32:41,493
they take out of Kazakhstan.
911
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,431
At a premium, some of which goes
to owners of the pipelines--
912
00:32:45,497 --> 00:32:47,033
American companies, I believe.
913
00:32:47,099 --> 00:32:49,801
We're not supporting
the Russians.
914
00:32:49,868 --> 00:32:52,638
Yet you're condoning
their attempts
915
00:32:52,704 --> 00:32:54,306
to annex half of Central Asia.
916
00:32:54,373 --> 00:32:57,009
Lian, I'm not
condoning anything.
917
00:32:57,076 --> 00:32:59,745
I am trying to stop
two nuclear powers
918
00:32:59,811 --> 00:33:01,313
from going to war over oil.
919
00:33:01,380 --> 00:33:03,149
Oil?
920
00:33:03,215 --> 00:33:06,452
Mr. President,
this is not about oil.
921
00:33:06,518 --> 00:33:09,088
It is about
the brutal suppression
922
00:33:09,155 --> 00:33:10,822
of a democratic movement,
923
00:33:10,889 --> 00:33:13,125
a movement
that includes
924
00:33:13,192 --> 00:33:17,129
many of our Chinese
brothers and sisters.
925
00:33:17,196 --> 00:33:19,665
You of all people should
understand our concern.
926
00:33:21,700 --> 00:33:23,435
MONTGOMERY:
Look, you've only got
927
00:33:23,502 --> 00:33:25,937
one more hour
of campaigning left anyway.
928
00:33:26,004 --> 00:33:27,339
GOODWIN:
He's right.
929
00:33:27,406 --> 00:33:29,308
Once you finish the vice
presidential debate,
930
00:33:29,375 --> 00:33:30,476
you're pretty much done.
931
00:33:30,542 --> 00:33:32,211
Tell that
to my schedulers.
932
00:33:32,278 --> 00:33:33,279
MONTGOMERY:
Due respect,
you're not exactly
933
00:33:33,345 --> 00:33:35,147
a force on the campaign trail.
934
00:33:35,214 --> 00:33:36,948
GOODWIN:
Josh is gonna have
to move his war room
935
00:33:37,015 --> 00:33:38,384
to the Congressman's plane
936
00:33:38,450 --> 00:33:40,252
in the next few weeks anyway.
You guys start
937
00:33:40,319 --> 00:33:42,121
campaigning together,
you can work out of there.
938
00:33:42,188 --> 00:33:43,289
Might even play better
for the crowds.
939
00:33:43,355 --> 00:33:44,856
We'd cover half the ground.
940
00:33:44,923 --> 00:33:46,625
You'll get a boost from
the joint appearances.
941
00:33:46,692 --> 00:33:49,195
The point is, this campaign
should be making the best use
942
00:33:49,261 --> 00:33:50,329
of its political assets.
943
00:33:50,396 --> 00:33:52,431
We are-- with me on the trail
944
00:33:52,498 --> 00:33:55,067
and Josh Lyman running
things at headquarters.
945
00:33:55,134 --> 00:33:56,502
Congressman?
946
00:33:59,338 --> 00:34:01,507
Appreciate your thoughts,
gentlemen.
947
00:34:01,573 --> 00:34:02,541
All right.
948
00:34:02,608 --> 00:34:03,775
Thank you.
Thank you, Congressman.
949
00:34:05,911 --> 00:34:07,813
We should find Josh, go
over the morning meetings.
950
00:34:07,879 --> 00:34:09,047
Uh-huh.
951
00:34:10,048 --> 00:34:12,618
Leo.
952
00:34:15,087 --> 00:34:18,257
Should Josh be running
this campaign?
953
00:34:30,236 --> 00:34:31,503
Oh.
Oh.
954
00:34:31,570 --> 00:34:32,604
( chuckles ):
Hey, stranger.
955
00:34:32,671 --> 00:34:33,639
Abbey.
956
00:34:33,705 --> 00:34:35,207
Nice speech in Des Moines.
You believe this
957
00:34:35,274 --> 00:34:36,808
dog and pony show
they've got me in?
958
00:34:36,875 --> 00:34:37,976
Getting any sleep?
959
00:34:38,043 --> 00:34:39,411
And eating my vegetables.
960
00:34:39,478 --> 00:34:41,046
How's Ellie?
Still standing.
961
00:34:41,113 --> 00:34:42,148
That's good.
Not really.
962
00:34:42,214 --> 00:34:43,549
The dress, it wrinkles.
963
00:34:43,615 --> 00:34:44,883
I'm sure he'll
be here any minute.
964
00:34:44,950 --> 00:34:45,884
You think?
965
00:34:45,951 --> 00:34:47,819
Miracles happen.
966
00:34:47,886 --> 00:34:51,457
Lian, I need your men
to stop advancing.
967
00:34:51,523 --> 00:34:53,225
If you'll just
hold your position.
968
00:34:53,292 --> 00:34:55,361
I'm not sure what
that will accomplish.
969
00:34:55,427 --> 00:34:57,863
Let me at least talk to the
Russians, try and convince them
970
00:34:57,929 --> 00:34:59,698
to push President Tarimov
971
00:34:59,765 --> 00:35:00,866
to reschedule elections.
972
00:35:00,932 --> 00:35:03,402
TRANSLATOR:
It was the Russians who put
973
00:35:03,469 --> 00:35:05,337
Tarimov in power
in the first place.
974
00:35:05,404 --> 00:35:06,872
For years, this is how
975
00:35:06,938 --> 00:35:08,039
the Russians
have been operating...
976
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:09,107
Lian.
977
00:35:09,175 --> 00:35:10,242
...and given their history,
978
00:35:10,309 --> 00:35:11,377
it seems clear to me
Lian.
979
00:35:11,443 --> 00:35:12,844
that the only way to stop
980
00:35:12,911 --> 00:35:14,246
their continued aggression...
981
00:35:14,313 --> 00:35:15,947
Damn it, Lian!
982
00:35:16,014 --> 00:35:17,216
Will you shut up already?!
983
00:35:21,387 --> 00:35:23,455
Is your daughter married?
984
00:35:23,522 --> 00:35:25,691
Excuse me, Mr. President?
985
00:35:25,757 --> 00:35:29,027
Your daughter, the one I met
when we were in Beijing,
986
00:35:29,094 --> 00:35:30,629
is she married?
987
00:35:30,696 --> 00:35:34,433
Yes, she was married
two years ago, last spring.
988
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:36,402
Then you will understand me
when I tell you
989
00:35:36,468 --> 00:35:39,004
that my daughter's wedding
is this afternoon,
990
00:35:39,070 --> 00:35:42,574
and that she has been waiting
for 46 minutes for me
991
00:35:42,641 --> 00:35:45,977
to give her away, because
I can't put down this damn phone
992
00:35:46,044 --> 00:35:48,079
until you tell me
that you're not gonna
993
00:35:48,146 --> 00:35:50,182
start World War Three today!
994
00:35:50,249 --> 00:35:53,852
Now for the love of God, Lian,
will you please just give me
995
00:35:53,919 --> 00:35:55,421
one half hour so I can go
996
00:35:55,487 --> 00:35:57,656
and walk my little girl
down the aisle?
997
00:36:02,594 --> 00:36:07,899
Mr. President, we can continue
this discussion in one hour.
998
00:36:07,966 --> 00:36:10,702
And your troops will hold
their position until then?
999
00:36:10,769 --> 00:36:12,671
Yes, Mr. President.
1000
00:36:14,706 --> 00:36:16,375
Thank you, Lian.
1001
00:36:19,110 --> 00:36:20,279
( sighs )
1002
00:36:24,283 --> 00:36:25,451
You've got one hour.
1003
00:36:33,225 --> 00:36:34,693
Is the wedding starting?
1004
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,194
Not yet.
1005
00:36:38,997 --> 00:36:42,000
How's Senator Montgomery?
1006
00:36:42,067 --> 00:36:43,835
Full of hot air,
as usual.
1007
00:36:43,902 --> 00:36:45,637
Yeah? Who's he want
to replace me?
1008
00:36:45,704 --> 00:36:47,273
Josh.
1009
00:36:47,339 --> 00:36:49,608
Who is it?
1010
00:36:49,675 --> 00:36:51,477
No one wants to replace you.
1011
00:36:51,543 --> 00:36:52,844
It's Goodwin, too, isn't it?
1012
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,848
Son of a bitch.
1013
00:36:56,915 --> 00:36:59,585
He was just shaking my...
1014
00:36:59,651 --> 00:37:02,688
So who do they want?
Is it Peipman?
1015
00:37:02,754 --> 00:37:04,055
Blume?
1016
00:37:04,122 --> 00:37:05,291
The guy's practically tone deaf
1017
00:37:05,357 --> 00:37:06,525
when it comes to
message politics,
1018
00:37:06,592 --> 00:37:07,759
but I'm sure he'd be good.
1019
00:37:07,826 --> 00:37:08,660
Josh.
1020
00:37:08,727 --> 00:37:10,829
You could get Simonds or Sharp.
1021
00:37:10,896 --> 00:37:12,864
Maybe you should
just promote Lou.
1022
00:37:12,931 --> 00:37:15,367
It's not like any of the other
guys have run a Presidential.
1023
00:37:18,169 --> 00:37:21,273
They want you.
1024
00:37:24,242 --> 00:37:26,077
It's you, isn't it?
1025
00:37:26,144 --> 00:37:29,981
Hell, that's who I'd want.
1026
00:37:30,048 --> 00:37:32,150
You would have known.
1027
00:37:32,217 --> 00:37:34,586
You would have been
in Illinois months ago, right?
1028
00:37:34,653 --> 00:37:36,622
Stop it.
Right? You would
have figured it out.
1029
00:37:36,688 --> 00:37:37,956
Where would you
have gotten the dough?
1030
00:37:38,023 --> 00:37:39,291
Come on, tell me.
1031
00:37:39,358 --> 00:37:40,592
Where would you
have gotten the money?
1032
00:37:40,659 --> 00:37:42,060
I wouldn't have
gotten the money,
1033
00:37:42,127 --> 00:37:43,695
because I wouldn't
have been in Illinois.
1034
00:37:43,762 --> 00:37:45,263
The polls there
looked as bad as
1035
00:37:45,331 --> 00:37:46,565
when we were running
against Eisenhower.
1036
00:37:46,632 --> 00:37:49,401
I would have made
the same decision as you.
1037
00:37:49,468 --> 00:37:51,803
And that's exactly what I told
1038
00:37:51,870 --> 00:37:53,839
Barry Goodwin
and George Montgomery.
1039
00:37:57,476 --> 00:37:59,210
Look, these are tough calls.
1040
00:37:59,277 --> 00:38:01,980
It's impossible to know
how they're gonna turn out.
1041
00:38:02,047 --> 00:38:04,916
What's important is how you
respond when you get it wrong,
1042
00:38:04,983 --> 00:38:06,952
how you react,
what your next move is.
1043
00:38:07,018 --> 00:38:08,820
I don't know
what my next move is.
1044
00:38:08,887 --> 00:38:10,556
I've been staring
at this damn map all day.
1045
00:38:10,622 --> 00:38:11,557
Still haven't got a clue.
1046
00:38:11,623 --> 00:38:13,058
Iowa's vulnerable,
1047
00:38:13,124 --> 00:38:14,893
I don't know what I was
thinking in Wisconsin,
1048
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,728
we can't take a dime out
of Ohio, Florida, Texas...
1049
00:38:16,795 --> 00:38:20,065
I don't know where to start.
1050
00:38:22,934 --> 00:38:24,636
They're right.
1051
00:38:24,703 --> 00:38:25,737
You should take over.
1052
00:38:25,804 --> 00:38:27,806
You're all trying to kill me.
1053
00:38:27,873 --> 00:38:29,174
( music begins )
1054
00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:31,843
Wedding's about to start.
1055
00:38:31,910 --> 00:38:35,180
Let me see the map.
1056
00:38:35,246 --> 00:38:38,049
( paper rustles )
1057
00:38:39,017 --> 00:38:40,018
Come on.
1058
00:38:40,085 --> 00:38:43,455
We'll talk about it
on the way.
1059
00:38:51,930 --> 00:38:54,466
ABBEY:
You made it.
1060
00:38:59,004 --> 00:39:02,641
Honey, you look...
1061
00:39:02,708 --> 00:39:04,510
Dad?
1062
00:39:04,576 --> 00:39:07,979
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
1063
00:39:08,046 --> 00:39:10,782
It's okay, Dad, really.
1064
00:39:12,984 --> 00:39:16,722
You wanted
a White House wedding.
1065
00:39:22,327 --> 00:39:25,831
All of that's being
taken into consideration.
1066
00:39:25,897 --> 00:39:27,999
Well, I thank you
for your support.
1067
00:39:28,066 --> 00:39:29,435
Thank you so much.
1068
00:39:30,802 --> 00:39:34,406
I'll meet you in there.
1069
00:39:40,011 --> 00:39:42,047
How'd it go?
1070
00:39:42,113 --> 00:39:43,482
Fine.
1071
00:39:43,549 --> 00:39:44,382
Taking over?
1072
00:39:44,450 --> 00:39:46,518
No.
1073
00:39:48,454 --> 00:39:49,688
Leo, I thought...
1074
00:39:49,755 --> 00:39:52,157
Josh is gonna make
lots of strategic decisions
1075
00:39:52,223 --> 00:39:53,725
over the next few weeks.
1076
00:39:53,792 --> 00:39:56,161
He's gonna sweat 'em
like life and death.
1077
00:39:56,227 --> 00:39:58,329
And they'll be important,
sure, which is why you and me
1078
00:39:58,396 --> 00:40:00,098
are gonna be in
on every one of them.
1079
00:40:00,165 --> 00:40:02,868
But they're meaningless
compared to the decision
1080
00:40:02,934 --> 00:40:04,402
the voters are gonna
have to make
1081
00:40:04,470 --> 00:40:06,472
just by listening to you
1082
00:40:06,538 --> 00:40:09,374
and trying to figure out if
they can connect with the idea
1083
00:40:09,441 --> 00:40:11,943
of Matt Santos as President.
1084
00:40:12,010 --> 00:40:14,145
And Josh has nothing
to do with that.
1085
00:40:16,181 --> 00:40:17,683
Goodwin's right.
1086
00:40:17,749 --> 00:40:20,418
Josh has taken you
as far as he can.
1087
00:40:20,486 --> 00:40:24,456
The rest is up to you.
1088
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:32,464
( classical music playing )
1089
00:41:08,299 --> 00:41:10,168
You okay, Dad?
1090
00:41:13,238 --> 00:41:16,975
You know, one time during
my first term in Congress
1091
00:41:17,042 --> 00:41:19,945
we went on a congressional
delegation to East Germany.
1092
00:41:20,011 --> 00:41:21,680
You probably
don't remember,
1093
00:41:21,747 --> 00:41:23,615
you couldn't have been
more than four or five.
1094
00:41:23,682 --> 00:41:25,116
But anyway, we got
to East Berlin,
1095
00:41:25,183 --> 00:41:28,219
and we're waiting on line
with our passports
1096
00:41:28,286 --> 00:41:32,090
at Checkpoint Charlie, when
all of a sudden, you bolted out
1097
00:41:32,157 --> 00:41:36,361
into the no man's land
between the two guard posts.
1098
00:41:36,427 --> 00:41:38,463
And everything stopped.
1099
00:41:38,530 --> 00:41:40,131
The M.P.'s just froze,
1100
00:41:40,198 --> 00:41:42,433
and your mother and I were
scared to death, but not you.
1101
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:44,936
You just calmly looked up
1102
00:41:45,003 --> 00:41:47,839
at one of the soldiers
on the wall and you waved.
1103
00:41:47,906 --> 00:41:51,109
And the soldier waved back.
1104
00:41:51,176 --> 00:41:52,911
And then...
1105
00:41:56,147 --> 00:42:01,152
And then, all the soldiers
were waving at each other.
1106
00:42:01,219 --> 00:42:03,955
I remember, Dad.
1107
00:42:16,367 --> 00:42:19,004
Take my arm.
