The West Wing:

JOSH:
You're going on a CODEL
to the Middle East

with Fitzwallace and Andy.

No presidential hand-holding.

You're going to see
what's going on

and brief me and Toby about it.

What about Donna?!

Three dead so far, sir.

Congressman Desantos and Korb.

And we just got word

Admiral Fitzwallace.

The people responsible
will be found

and brought to justice.

It's time to focus
on the terrorist elements

who've declared war
on us.

What are my other options?

There's the Palestinian
Authority.

Chairman Farad?

He's asked
for the opportunity

to arrest any suspects
identified by the FBI.

He won't treat us
like the Israelis.

We have the power
to bring him back to the table.

LEO:
Sir, the country wants action.

TOBY:
Chairman Farad-- he's on TV.

He's thanking us
for inviting him

to a summit with the Israelis.

He's publicly accepted
our invitation to Camp David.

LEO:
I think you're gun-shy, sir.

This may be the most important

mo and you're going to blow it
of because you're human.

I'm the guy in
the office, Leo.

I'm the one
who's going to be judged.

KATE:
We can't let
Chairman Farad bully us

into hosting
a summit, sir.

People at State know,
at the Pentagon.no

If we try to force them
into hosting a summitw.

they may leak it.
That's so bad?

The Chairman wants
a peace summit.

He invited himself
Isn't that a sto Camp David.

at the Council ong
Foreign Relations?

Sir, we need to focus
on military action.

Retaliation for the deaths

I've got a guy who says he wants
to come to a peace table,

and I'Tell Faradab
he can have his summit

if it can double
as his retirement party.

What do I need from him to get
the Israelis to Camp David?

the leaders of Hamas,
He'd put the Palestiniana

security services under
Mukarat and the moderates

that gives up that portion
of historical Palestine

he's going to recognize
as Israel.

Plus the watch?

Mr. President,
this way, please.

Sir?

I feel as if my counsel

is largely responsible
for this mess.

I get lots of counsel,
Ms. Harper.

What I choose to do with it
is my responsibility.

says he's got
a Congressional widow on
from 60 camera es

demanding that the President
avenge her husband's death.

C.J.:
Which one?

They're hoping the President
will go on camera to respond.

And what, defend his
tie-dye, hippie-dippie,

blowin' in the wind
peacenick pipe dream

while the grieving widow
rends her garments?

Want me to see if I can
get you a couple minutes
in the Oval right away?

I bet the President won't be
back in the building
until this afternoon.

As you know, I've been
consistent with my desire

to restart negotiations
with the Israelis.

The Israelis won't get
in a room with Farad again.

I'm surprised the Prime Minister
hasn't already said so

in about three
different languages.

The President
asked him not to.

Last time Israel
Farad doesn'toffered up Gaza,

96% of the West Bank,
half of Jerusalem,

sovereignty over
the Temple Mount,

and the lead role in the
Temple Betn-el Purim Play.

Farad walked away.

A President who's
What do yprepared to respond

The Vice President can'tder of
support the President on this.

He planning
to say so publicly?

He's speaking at

the Israel Policy Forum Gala
on Friday.

He can't be convinced
I tto come down with

He's a pretty
a nasty bout ofhealthy guy.

The President knows, right?

You guys are telling him?

That there is
no viable alternative.

He's going to have
to bomb Palestinians.

PRESIDENT:
Blessed are the merciful

for they shall
obtain mercy.

Blessed are they

which are persecuted
for righteousness' sake

for theirs will be
the kingdom of heaven.

And blessed are the peacemakers,

for they shall be called

the children of God.

We have no choice
but to retaliate.

Khalil Nasan is
still in Gaza?

Yes, but we've been
able to link Nasan's

bombing of our
congressional delegation

to the Khanjari Martyrs.

The Martyrs are using the
Ein Hawa camp near Damascus

as their base of operation.

In Syria?

E-mails and cellular
communications

indicate that they supplied
the munitions

and the technical support
for Nasan.

What are you proposing, General?

Syria and Iran are the primary
supporters of the Martyrs.

The Lincoln Battle Group is
moving into strike range.

We can use SLAM ER missiles
against the Ein Hawa camp

and the two terrorist
training camps

in Northern Iran
east of Birjan.

And blow the summit
out of the water.
What summit?

The Israelis aren't going
to meet with Farad.

The region is already
a powder keg.

Name one day in the last
20 centuries when it wasn't.

Egypt, Jordan and the Saudis
will help us craft a deal

with Farad if they think
it's fair.

But the whole thing
will fall apart

LEO:e start bombing
The only way to prevent
attacks against Americans abroad

is to show we're willing
to respond when provoked.

Bombing Syria and Iran sends a
powerful message, Mr. President.

Do we have any evidence
linking Iran to Nasan?

If we take
this opportunity

to strike Iranian terrorist
camps, believe me, sir,

we'll find a way to link
the attacks on our people

Are you suggestingto them later.
we use the attack

on our congressional delegation
as a pretext

to attack another country we
don't know to be responsible?

Mr. PresiI'm not usingsuggesting
Then what the helllear...
are you suggesThere's ample

Admiral Fitzwallace's death

and the death
of our congressmen

as a pretext to attack
another country

we don't happen to like.

The ambassador is here.

I want to see
what we have

linking Nasan
to the Martyrs in Syria.

with any credible,come up
verifiable evidence

dragging Iran
into this mess,

I'll take a look
at that, too.

Thank you, sir.

I'm not bombing
half the Middle East

because it's going
to make us all feel better.

They're on
your side.

I was having a hard time
believing that

a few minutes ago.

Sir, you can't
delay any longer.

There are no rabbits

left in I'm not prepared
to accept that.

You're going
to have to, sir.

The ambassador's waiting.

Looks like your boy's
gotten himself into a
bit of trouble.

My boy?

Bartlet.

It's been President Bartlet
for five years,

hasn't been "boy"
for about 50.

The Israelis are never going
to meet with Farad.

They've got him surrounded
in the West Bank.

What's Bartlet think
they're going to do,

knock on the door
of his compound

and say "I'm so sorry about
all the tanks and stuff,

but would you like to pop over
to America,

have a nice wee chat
and sort this out?

Where are you from?

Belfast.

of how to work things out
reover there.d

Yeah, we are, actually.

The Israelis
have every right

to protect themselves
from terrorists.

fighting for self rule.force

They're citizen-soldiers
trying to keep

their sisters from getting
blown up on a bus.

You Jewish?

the Palestinians have a point
is anti-Semitic.
Anyone who thinks

And anyone who thinks
that Jews don't--

after being chased and exiled
and persecuted for centuries

is either an idiot
or a fool--

or probably both.

Madame Ambassador.

Mr. McGarry.

Pleasure
to see you.
Thank you.

Please.

Admiral Fitzwallace was
a great man.

All Israelis mourn his loss.

Israel cannot agree to attend
a summit with Chairman Farad

while our citizens are being
brutally murdered every day.

Whether we like it or not,

Farad is in charge.

The United States has
sought regime change

in dictatorships
around the world.

Is Israel to be held
to a higher standard?

Israel was created to be a land
free from oppression.

Whether the land is
rightly Palestinian,

Israeli, Jordanian
or Judean,

the people who live in the
territories are oppressed.

By their own leadership,
by the neglect of Arab neighbors

and yes, by Israel.

I'm sorry, Mr. President.

Chairman Farad is interested
in only one thing--

murdering Israelis.

And apparently, he's decided
it's now time

to start murdering
Americans as well.

We won't participate
in any discussions

which include
Chairman Farad.

If you'll excuse
me, sir.

ALL:
C.J.!

Republicans are on their way
to the White House

this afternoon to meet
with the President.

Any idea what
they're planning to say?

is gexpress their unanimous
whatand unqualified support

of the President's policies.

The Democrats are saying
It'sthey don't understandcans.

why the President is
wringing his hands

We're working closely with
leaders of both parties on this.

They know the President
is determined to act.

No they don't, C.J.
Neither do the American people.

Gallup is saying
82% support immediate

military action
in response to Gaza.

The President doesn't make
security decisions

based on opinion polls.

Have the Israelis agreed
to participate

Israeli officials are with
saying privatelytinians?

they won't attend
if Farad is invited.

We're discussing the specifics
of any possible talks

with members of the Palestinian
Authority

and representatives
of the Israeli government.

These conversations are ongoing.

Okay, considering

she's human chum.

Anything from Josh?

Yeah.

Something about

60 Minutes is going to run

He brought half
of congress with him.

You're ignoring the
to play dsacrifice these men
atmade for their country.

On the contrary,
I'm trying to honor it.

HAFFLEY:
You're appeasing terrorists

by rewarding them with
a peace summit.

If the issue here is
congressional consultation,

we can assure you...

Mr. President, you have to go
on national television,

admit your mistake and retract
those invitations.

You've insulted these men

You have to put this summit back
into the cereal box

it came in.

I didn't come here
to play games.

I'm trying to find a way
to make peace,

and when I do,
you can go on TV

and explain why
you're against it.

( door slams )

Ms. Moss was experiencing
shortness of breath
and chest pain.

Her chest CT revealed a blood
clot in her right lung.

She asked if she could
see you for a moment
before we put her under.

Me?

Um, no. Mr. Lyman.

I just talked
to the doctor.

They said
it's no big deal.

Yeah, stylish, huh?

He tell you

what they're going to do?

It's going to be a snap.

Yeah.

Don't be.

You're going to be fine, okay?

DOCTOR:
Okay, Donna, here we go.

The strike force can launch
in six hours.

That's two hours to the targets
in Syria, same to Gaza.

Air-to-ground smart munitions
against both.

Back on the deck in four hours.

Intel still has Khalil Nasan
at the same location in Gaza?

So far. We just have to hope he
stays put until mid-morning.

Good.

You'll talk to him?

Yeah.

We lose track of Nasan now,

who knows when
we pick him up again.

Thank you, General.

Leo...

Do you have a moment?

Sure.

( sighs )

I encouraged the President to
pursue a meeting with Mukarat.

I should have anticipated
Chairman Farad would...

Did you bury a mortar
shell on a roadside
in Gaza two days ago?

No, sir.

I just feel that
in hindsight I could...

The President heard
what he wanted to hear

and went where
he wanted to go.
He's over 21.

DYou're not changinglf,
Cthe course of history.

I won't take up
any more of your time.

He doesn't like chaos.

We bomb some apartment building
in Gaza

or a camp in Syria,
there'll be consequences.

And we can't tell him
what they're going to be.

Will we get drawn into a war
in the Middle East?

Will suicide bombers
be climbing onto buses

in Passaic, New Jersey
instead of Tel Aviv and Haifa?

( knocking )

The President's asking for you
and Ms. Harper in the Oval.

The President's looking
for answers

and we don't have them.

No idea's too stupid
or outrageous.

Party clowns, pinatas,
I'd build a mosque
out of Jell-O

if I thought...

I need ideas,
new ideas.

Come on.

Just throw things out

and we'll see
if anything comes of it.

Sir, I think we need to
shift the conversation

back to the military...

Come on. Who else?

Is the FBI any closer...?

I'm Farad and the Israelis--

how to get them
into the same room together.

C.J.:
Previous peace plans

have focused on getting Farad
to crack down on Hamas

TOBY:
andHe's not powerful enough.ps.

He picks a fight with Hamas...

BARTLET:
I need ideas. New ideas.
Come on.

The last time Israel
Faoffered up Gaza, 96%...l

BARTLET:
becausWILL:s going
Farad gives security guarantees

and takes tangible action
against Hamas.

Really stupid ideas?

Yes, absolutely.

We ignore everything
that's happened in

Yesterday, Farad
was cooperating with us,

planning to arrest Nasan

and the other perpetrators
of the CODEL bombing.

Then the Israelis surrounded

and his people in Gaza
refused to arrest Nasan, right?

Yeah, so?

So we hold Farad
to his earlier promise.

Tell him if he wants a summit,
he has to arrest Nasan.

Show us and the Israelis
he's serious

about punishing terrorists.

How's he supposed to do that

when his compound
is surrounded by Israeli tanks?

Farad was never going
to do it himself.

The Palestinian Authority
was just waiting

for his okay to proceed.

His cell phone's dead.
The Israelis aren't goingrned
to stop the American consulate

WILL:rom giving him
A cell phone...might.w battery.

He can use mine if he wants.

You're right,
it's a stupid idea.

Why?

Who cares if
he has a phone?

He's not going
to punish Nasan.

He's rounded up terrorists
before.

He walks 'em
past Al Jazeera
for show,

in a palace with a squash courtr
and high-speed Internet access.

Tell him he has

to turn Nasan over to us.

He won't do it.

Half his followers think Nasan's
a hero for blowing up Americans.

He's going to turn
the guy over to
the Great Satan?

C.J.:
If he says no or equivocates,
we go public,

say we wanted Farad
for a summit,

but when we identified
the killer,

we asked Farad
to turn him over, he refused.

We look reasonable,
measured.

Farad has no one
to blame but himself.

And if he does turn over Nasan,

we go to the Israelis and say,
"Hey, look,

he's serious
this time."

Can it work?

No.

No.

Maybe.

Maybe.

Okay, somebody get the man
a cell phone

and tell him to expect a call
from the President.

Thanks, everyone.

ALL:
Thank you, Mr. President.

Leo, you're okay...?

Coordinate with State.

Thank you,
Mr. President.

Congress is drafting
a resolution demanding

that you take
military action.

Yeah.

Sir,

the Lincoln Battle Group

will be in position
sometime tonight.

They're awaiting your go order
to strike Nasan

and the Syrian camps
in the morning.

What?

We can't wait for Farad.

The risk of losing Khalil Nasan
is too great.

We have intel linking Iran
to the Martyrs.

It's sketchy in spots,

but overall
it's a compelling case.

I'General Alexander went ahead
iwith plans for these bombings?

At your request.

I said I'd consider it
when the time was appropriate.

I did not ask that he...

He was trying
to anticipate

your eventual needs, sir,
at my urging.

Mr. President, please.

Congress, the Joint Chiefs,
the American public,

your own staff;
everyone disagrees

with your assessment
of the situation.

Killing Palestinians isn't going
to make us feel safer.

then we'll have to kill
Tmore of them.ore o

It's Russian roulette
with a fully-loaded gun.

We can't allow terrorists

to murder our citizens
without...

Why would Palestinians murder
American government officials?

They never have before.

They're deliberately provoking
us, Leo.

They know that we have
to retaliate.

They've studied us!
They want us to overreact!

This isn't overreacting!

It's the appropriate,
balanced...

Tell me

how this ends, Leo!

You want me to
start something

that may have serious
repercussions

on American foreign policy
for decades, but you

don't know how it ends!

We don't always know
how it ends!

The Lincoln will be in position
in a few hours

and then you are going
to have to give the go ahead

for the bombings.

Or what?

Let me know
when Chairman Farad calls.

I'll be in the residence.

Thank you, Mr. President.

( door shuts )

It's late.

I'm sorry.

Did I wake you?

Mm.

No.

Still nothing?

Maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe.

You think so?

Am I that predictable now?

You were always
that predictable.

I could do what they want,

make everyone feel better
for a few days.

Some nice aerial shots
of things blowing up on CNN,

a few charred bodies.

It'd be a hell
of a lot easier.

You want easier?

I want Fitz
to walk through my door tomorrow

and give me a hard time
about the Celtics.

You think they got a chance
this year?

Who?

Celtics.

They still need a big man
and a reliable point guard,

but they might
make a run for it.

For a moment there,
I was worried.

Hey.

I nabbed the last two packages
of peanut butter crackers

out of the machine.

It was that
or an old egg salad sandwich.

I thought you went home.

And pass up
the 16th Street smorgasbord?

I wouldn't have been able
to sleep anyway.

I'm catching up on some work.

( coughs quietly )

Mm, you're going to need
some water.

Maybe a fire hose.

( muffled ):
Or a local reservoir.

How the hell do we always
get dragged into these things?

Why can't I just
sit on my patio,

barbecue some chicken

and drink
my diet Dr. Pepper in peace?

You gonna finish those?

Be my guest.

You ever look around and think,

this country's in a hell
if wof a lot of trouble?rge

Till I spend time
with the other guys.

WILL:
They got a
phone to Farad.

The President's
talking to him now.

I'm afraid that's unacceptable,
Mr. Chairman.

If your security forces
were to capture Nasan,

FARAD ( on speakerphone ):
The crime was committed
in the Palestinian Territories.
turned over

The Territories
aren't a state.

Trying Nasan
in an American court shows

there are other means
of seeking justice

than Israeli missile strikes.

This point can also be made
in a Palestinian court.

TOBY:
What Palestinian court?

It's three guys
with loaded pistols

and a Magic 8-Ball.

Mr. Chairman,

capturing Nasan and then

turning him over to
us would demonstrate

to the Israelis
and the world

that you're
tough on terror.

That you know
the difference

between fighting
for the Palestinian cause

and randomly
attacking Americans.

All it would demonstrate
is that the Palestinians

are incapable of administering
justice themselves.

Americans were killed,
Mr. Chairman,

This falls under
our jurisdiction.

Even if you were
to detain Nasan,

we would ask
that you extradite him.

Mr. Chairman?

These are difficult questions.

Perhaps they should be
a topic of discussion

for our talks at Camp David.

There won't be any talks
if Khalil Nasan

isn't delivered into
United States custody.

Mr. President, that makes things
very difficult.

Perhaps then, Mr. President...

...we will not be able to meet.
( quietly ):
Sorry.

Mr. Chairman,

if your security forces
were to detain Nasan

and then turn him over to us
secretly...

we'd be happy to say

that he was apprehended
by the FBI.

Mr. Chairman?

I will discuss it
with members of my government.

And you'll seriously
consider it?

I will discuss it.

Thank you for your time,
Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Was that a yes or a no?

WILL:
"Members of my government"?
I think he's talking about

TOBY:
twoHe won't do it.
andHe can't do it.

KATE:
He sounded like he
was considering it.

He was distracted,
looking up Nasan's number

so he could warn him
to get the hell out of Gaza.

There's no evidence
linking Nasan

to That'sSo now all Palestinians
or haven'are terrorists?him y

If the kaffiyeh fits.

That's enough.
Thank you everybody.

Go home,
try to get some sleep.

Thank you, sir.
Mr. President.

Now what?

We wait.

The Lincoln Battle Group
is almost...

We wait, Leo.

So, you fly halfway
around the world

at a moment's notice, to
rush to a woman's bedside

when the White House
if facing off

a Biblical apocalypse?

We work together.

Past dalliance gone bad

or tragically unconsummated love

by puritanical American
workplace ethics?length

What the hell
are you talking about?

There was this a girl
when I was 16...

No... 17.

This when you were a bagman
for the IRA?

She was mad about me.

Worshipped me, really.

And I liked her,

but I was off
to University in Dublin

and she was going
to stay in Belfast,

work in her dad's shop.

This is taking
too long.

Isn't this taking too long?

She wrote to me

every single day,

and she called weekends.

And she... she
was always there.

I took her for granted,
you know?

LEAHY:
Mr. Lyman?

How's she doing?

We encountered
a few difficulties

during the procedure.

She lost
a substantial amount of blood.

and call in a vascular surgeon
to repair the tear.

Is she's going
to be all right?

She's still unconscious.

As soon as
she's stabilized,

we'll send her off for an MRI.

Between the anemia
and low blood pressure,

she may have suffered
hypoxic brain injury.

Decreased oxygen delivery
can result in brain damage.

LEO:
They had to do

some sort of operation

and there were
complications.

I spoke to Josh.

He's pretty upset.

Can you get me Donna's parents?

Yes, sir.

We've heard nothing
from Chairman Farad

in over seven hours.

General Alexander
is waiting in the Sit Room.

The Lincoln Carrier
Group is in place.

( knock on door )

ARNOLD:
Excuse me,
Mr. President?

LEO:
What do you need,
George?

Our FBI team in Gaza
was just contacted

by the Palestinian
Security Forces.

They have Khalil Nasan
in custody,

and they'd like to
turn him over to us.

Did it pass?

TOBY:
House was 317 to 116.

Senate 62 to 37.

"Whereas acts of treacherous
and unprovoked violence

have been committed against
United States citizens..."

Just skip ahead
to the parts that're
going to piss me off.

That's gonna be
all of it really.

"Whereas,
inaction further threatens

"the national security
of these United States,

"and there can be no meaningful
peace in the Middle East

"so long as such acts
are sanctioned and committed...

Here it comes.

"...and whereas, the President
has both the authority

"and the imperative to address
and prevent such acts of terror

against"The President has
the United Staboth the authority

and the imperative"?

It's the Oxford
Debating Society's wayb

of telling the President
to get off his ass

and do something,
you feckless wimp.

Is she here?
Yes, sir.

And the Prime Minister

is waiting for your call
in Tel Aviv.

Okay. It passed?

Yes, sir.

How many Democrats
against us?

Too many.

But we swept the Vermont
delegation, am I right?

Actually, no.

"Both the authority
and the imperative"?

They want peace but I have
to blow something up first?

I think they're
willing to haggle
on the peace part.

That usually work
in the past?

How's my tie?

Charlie, get the Prime Ministere
on the phone.ue, sir.

Ms. Harper, head on
in and look unhappy.

Toby, I want you
to call every Democrat

that supported
this resolution

and tell them that if they
ever want White House support

for another rubber chicken
fund-raiser

they had better start singing

a rousing chorus
of "Hail to the Chief."

Leo, head down
to the Sit Room

and tell the Generals to keep
their pistols in their pockets

for the time being.

You don't believe
in this, Leo,

and they're not going
to want to do it.

I can't have them picking up

any signals from you
that we disagree.

No, sir.

I-I don't have a pacemaker
or anything.

Turn it off, now, sir.

Okay, sure.
Lieutenant.

Who're you talking to?

I'll call back
in a couple hours.

The Palestinian Authority
has detained Khalil Nasan

ZAHAVY ( on speakerphone):
Farad's promised to turn over
and is terrorists before.im over
to our FBI.

It's a show of good faith
on Chairman Farad's part.

An example
of his renewed willingness

to address the peace process.

Mr. Prime Minister,

the territories
are undermining your legitimacy

and sapping your moral authority
in the eyes of the world.

Farad is beholden
to the very forces

that wish to push us
back into the sea.

It's not a negotiating point
for him.

It's a religious
and moral imperative

to take back all of Israel
for Palestine.

Sir, you cannot hold yourself
out as the Promised Land

while occupying the territories
and oppressing other peoples.

Our Arab citizens
enjoy the most freedoms

of any Arabs in the Middle East.

The Palestinians are oppressed
as opposed to who?

We don't stone women

who refuse to wear head scarves
in Tel Aviv.

Sir,

Chairman Farad's seen
you're almost done

He's about to lose
half the Jordan Valley

If you agree
to come to a summit with Farad

and he still refuses
to reach an agreement,

the United States is willing
to publicly support

Israeli actions
to secure your homeland,

including the
building of the fence.

Eli, why not sit down
and talk again?

If Farad turns over
this terrorist to you,

I will take the offer
to my cabinet.

Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister.

Good afternoon, Mr. President.

Madam Ambassador.

Mr. President.

( door closes )

( whispers ):
I think we got ourselves
a ball game.

( knocks twice on desk )

TOBY:
Have you been to NSF
Thurmont before?

Camp David, no.
No, I haven't.

Ever been on
Marine One?

No. No, I haven't.

Like helicopters?

No, not really.
I get airsick.

Okay. You can
sit with Will.

I want you to stay here,
hold down the Fort.

I'll call you
when things heat up.

Of course, Mr. President.

You still think
this is a mistake.

Yes, sir, I do.

As soon as the Palestinian
delegation

is on the ground at Andrews,
give Alexander the go.

Sir?

Tell the General

to hit the Ein Hawa camp
near Damascus.

What about Iran?

I've looked
at the intel file.

I'm still not convinced.

You get something more,

show it to me,
and we'll discuss it.

Thank you, Mr. President.

( phone ringing )

Will Bailey.

and strategic planning
You last night?

Missiles and marshmallows.

President loves
a good campfire.

I should warn you--
all his horror stories

are about the Crusades.

Yeah, well,
so's the morning paper.

Palestinians are wheels up.

C.J.:
That's a great way
to stop the summit

with the consistency
of industrial sealant.

Leo's looking for you.
Try and get him
up at Camp David.

He's not at Camp David.

He's in his office.

I thought you went up yesterday
with the President.

A couple loose ends.

We want the press corps
down here.

We're not going to the cozy inn?
President
doesn't want

You walk 'em through a daily
schedule, and that's it.

No pool spray.

They go to Camp David,
all they're going to get

is shots of tinted windows
and enough furrowed brows

to start a Yiddish
theater group.

They're ready for you.

We're going to have
an announcement

in a couple of hours.

I'll find you
when it's time.ouncemen

How far?

Only have lungs
for five miles.

Buy a carton of Luckys.
You can stay in bed next time.

So much for permanent press.

Prep group's about to start
up on the lower porch.

Mr. President.

They're on their way.

Did you come

to a consensus?

Only that Toby would
give half his salary

for a piece of
asphalt he could use

to pummel the
State Department.

You're making a mess of it.
Give me that.

What's the sticking point?
What isn't?

If we can't agree, how
do we expect them to?

The Israelis just cleared
our airspace.

Okay.

Go get 'em, Cassius.

Thank you.

Mr. Prime Minister,
welcome, and thank you

for coming.
Mr. President.

Maya, good to see you again.

Mr. President.
Madame Galit.

Have you met Defense
Minister Mazar?

Special forces are in
Wh place to paint the target.

The planes are on the deck.

First wave includes
radar jamming prowlers,

a Hawkeye, in-flight
refueling, and
an S-3 Viking.

How long till they reach
the targets?

They're at Mach 1.7.

They'll be dropping ordinance
in 90 minutes.

Round two.

Prime Minister
Mukarat, thank you
so much for coming.

My pleasure.

ABBEY:
Pleasure to
Chairman Farad,
welcome.

Mr. President.

Please join us here.

They're 30
minutes out, sir.

Do we have the go?

That's a go.

You going up to
Camp David later?

Maybe tomorrow.

You don't mind
my saying so, sir,

I hope the President knows
how lucky he is to have you.

Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for coming.

After fleeing
his headquarters in Khan Unis,

Nasan was apprehended
by FBI agents,

working with Israel
Defense Forces,

as he attempted to cross
into Israel yesterday.

The prime suspect
in the terrorist bombings

of four U.S. citizens,
including two Congressmen

and the retired Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs,

Nasan is a longtime supporter
of Hamas,

the Khanjari Martyrs
and its military splinter wing,

"Light of Abudaka".

Nasan, a.k.a. Uzma Khalil
and Shahab Khalil...

Josh.
...is also wanted in connection
with a 2002 car bombing

in Nazarene, and a 1999 bombing

in Rahajan that killed
26 Israelis.
Josh.

Josh?

He was detained
at the terminal in southern Gaza

and is currently being held
by U.S. forces in Murah.

Hey...

You're awake.

Your mom is here.

Colin took her
downstairs for some...

I don't know, for some...
schnitzel or something.

You're still here.

Yeah.

I'm still here.
