1
00:00:06,798 --> 00:00:08,257
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:08,425 --> 00:00:12,008
Senator, you're the favorite to be
the Democratic nominee for president.
3
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:14,884
I'd like you to come to
Nashua, New Hampshire Thursday...
4
00:00:15,057 --> 00:00:17,892
...and hear Jed Bartlet speak.
- I work for Senator Hoynes.
5
00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:20,099
I'd like you to be the vice president.
6
00:00:20,812 --> 00:00:22,141
- Josh Lyman.
- Joseph Quincy.
7
00:00:22,314 --> 00:00:25,517
A guy this qualified, I'd know him.
Something's wrong.
8
00:00:25,734 --> 00:00:27,525
- You're a Republican.
- Yes.
9
00:00:28,195 --> 00:00:30,401
Joe, it's fine.
Ainsley Hayes was a Republican.
10
00:00:30,572 --> 00:00:32,232
- It's not fine.
- Why not?
11
00:00:32,407 --> 00:00:35,859
If you're a Republican, you damn well
better look like Ainsley Hayes.
12
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:37,199
He does!
13
00:01:18,871 --> 00:01:20,495
I'm Charlie Young.
14
00:01:48,317 --> 00:01:50,855
- What is your name?
- It's Claire.
15
00:01:51,028 --> 00:01:52,771
It's Claire Huddle.
16
00:02:21,642 --> 00:02:23,350
Claire Huddle, Mr. President.
17
00:02:24,436 --> 00:02:27,805
It turns out it has to go
to the secretary of state.
18
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:31,149
There's a law. It's 3 U.S.C. 20.
19
00:02:31,318 --> 00:02:34,652
It goes to the secretary of state,
but we'll take care of it.
20
00:02:39,868 --> 00:02:41,197
Why did you take a cab?
21
00:02:41,912 --> 00:02:44,782
- My car wouldn't start.
- I'm sorry?
22
00:02:46,083 --> 00:02:47,743
My car wouldn't start.
23
00:02:51,171 --> 00:02:52,963
You know what's in here?
24
00:02:54,675 --> 00:02:56,383
It's okay.
25
00:04:08,874 --> 00:04:10,534
- Good morning.
- We have a question...
26
00:04:10,709 --> 00:04:14,374
Hang on. Happy Birthday, Mark.
And don't ever say I don't pay attention.
27
00:04:14,546 --> 00:04:17,037
- My birthday's in December.
- Say it. What do I care.
28
00:04:17,216 --> 00:04:19,967
Does the president have an opinion
on the Trustees Report?
29
00:04:20,135 --> 00:04:22,460
Medicare? I don't think he's seen it.
I'll check.
30
00:04:22,638 --> 00:04:26,007
H.R. 235, increasing fuel efficiency
standards, is he gonna twist arms?
31
00:04:26,183 --> 00:04:28,306
- He gonna do what he gotta do.
- Does that...?
32
00:04:28,477 --> 00:04:29,888
He gonna do what he gotta do.
33
00:04:30,062 --> 00:04:32,387
Will he go to the
Children's Defense Fund Dinner?
34
00:04:32,564 --> 00:04:34,853
He wants to,
but it's still early in the week.
35
00:04:35,025 --> 00:04:36,353
- I'm gonna go in.
- No, C. J... .
36
00:04:36,527 --> 00:04:38,685
Katie, I'm sorry.
You were asking something...
37
00:04:38,862 --> 00:04:41,982
...and I cut you off to wish
Mark a happy birthday, just in case.
38
00:04:42,157 --> 00:04:43,486
Come in with me.
39
00:04:43,992 --> 00:04:46,827
- This is Ralph Gish, our science editor.
- It's my pleasure.
40
00:04:46,995 --> 00:04:48,988
- Same, yes.
- Why is science coming here?
41
00:04:49,164 --> 00:04:51,834
- It's about the vice president.
- Come on in.
42
00:04:57,005 --> 00:05:00,255
You familiar with the NASA Commission
on Space Science and Research?
43
00:05:00,425 --> 00:05:03,759
I'm aware it exists. I can take your
question to our science adviser.
44
00:05:03,929 --> 00:05:05,886
No. This is not a science question.
45
00:05:06,098 --> 00:05:09,182
Is the White House concealing a report
from the commission...
46
00:05:09,351 --> 00:05:14,096
...containing two different pieces
of evidence of water molecules on Mars?
47
00:05:14,273 --> 00:05:16,396
Is there a report not being released...
48
00:05:16,567 --> 00:05:19,817
...from the NASA Commission on Space
Science and Research, saying:
49
00:05:19,987 --> 00:05:22,608
"Fossilized water molecules
were found on a meteorite"?
50
00:05:22,781 --> 00:05:25,153
I won't say when it blew off
the surface of Mars...
51
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:26,784
Come here.
52
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:32,413
I called you back for a single
in front of everybody, that costs me.
53
00:05:32,583 --> 00:05:36,663
Your question is,"Is there life on Mars,
and is the White House hiding it?"
54
00:05:36,837 --> 00:05:38,746
How does this involve
the vice president?
55
00:05:38,922 --> 00:05:42,920
He heads the commission.
A source says he told them personally.
56
00:05:43,093 --> 00:05:44,753
- That's absurd!
- I know, but Gish...
57
00:05:44,928 --> 00:05:47,846
Ask Gish what credible source
goes to the science editor...
58
00:05:48,015 --> 00:05:51,514
He doesn't know who the source is.
The source went to another reporter...
59
00:05:51,685 --> 00:05:54,437
...and that reporter went to Gish.
60
00:05:56,315 --> 00:05:59,481
I can't imagine that it's true.
61
00:05:59,651 --> 00:06:02,225
Is there an existing report
that says anything at all?
62
00:06:02,404 --> 00:06:08,857
If so, what? Will it be made public?
If not, why? And if not, isn't that illegal?
63
00:06:10,078 --> 00:06:13,530
I don't know. But I'll find out
to the first bunch of questions...
64
00:06:13,707 --> 00:06:17,539
...and as for"legal" and"not legal,"
that's a matter for the counsel's office.
65
00:06:17,711 --> 00:06:20,747
Oh! Hey, yeah, that's a matter
for the counsel's office.
66
00:06:20,923 --> 00:06:24,967
I know the right guy to speak to
down there. He's gonna fix you right up.
67
00:06:45,364 --> 00:06:46,692
- Mr. Quincy?
- Yeah.
68
00:06:46,865 --> 00:06:49,439
I'm Blair Spoonhour.
I'm with the counsel's office.
69
00:06:49,618 --> 00:06:51,575
- You're with the counsel's office?
- Yeah.
70
00:06:51,787 --> 00:06:54,408
- What are you, 14?
- Thank you. No, I'm 22.
71
00:06:54,581 --> 00:06:56,159
I'm a law student at GW.
72
00:06:56,333 --> 00:06:58,789
- What year?
- I just finished my first.
73
00:06:58,961 --> 00:07:02,543
Anyway, they share assistants in the
counsel's office, but they asked me...
74
00:07:02,714 --> 00:07:04,837
...to stick around to break you in.
75
00:07:05,008 --> 00:07:09,006
Break me in? You're 22 years old and...
Where am I right now?
76
00:07:09,179 --> 00:07:12,679
This is the office traditionally given
to new lawyers who are hired.
77
00:07:13,058 --> 00:07:14,885
And what is it when it's not occupied?
78
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:17,598
The Steam Pipe Trunk
Distribution Venue.
79
00:07:18,397 --> 00:07:20,603
This White House doesn't
like lawyers, do they?
80
00:07:20,774 --> 00:07:23,728
Really, they just hold them one rung
above being a Republican.
81
00:07:23,902 --> 00:07:25,729
Then we've won the jackpot,
haven't we?
82
00:07:25,904 --> 00:07:28,775
Don't tell me that you're one
of those people who group up...
83
00:07:28,991 --> 00:07:31,197
You know what, law school?
Let's settle down.
84
00:07:31,368 --> 00:07:33,111
Do I have memos I have to read?
85
00:07:33,328 --> 00:07:35,451
What did you think that these were?
86
00:07:36,123 --> 00:07:37,617
I thought that was Xerox paper.
87
00:07:37,791 --> 00:07:40,199
You're associate White House counsel,
Mr. Quincy...
88
00:07:40,377 --> 00:07:42,500
...we're not gonna store Xerox
paper in here.
89
00:07:42,671 --> 00:07:45,791
Sure, we'd never want to compromise
the aesthetic integrity...
90
00:07:45,966 --> 00:07:48,124
...of the Steam Pipe Trunk
Distribution Venue.
91
00:07:48,343 --> 00:07:51,795
Triage those. What I should read
first, second, third.
92
00:07:52,347 --> 00:07:53,723
Excuse me.
93
00:07:56,226 --> 00:07:58,800
- That's a great outfit, Blair.
- Thank you.
94
00:07:58,979 --> 00:08:03,190
- This is Press Secretary C.J. Cregg.
- Yeah. Thanks.
95
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,772
And don't feel like you should
help me with these.
96
00:08:05,944 --> 00:08:08,482
There are only nine
and it's an easy flight of stairs.
97
00:08:08,655 --> 00:08:10,399
- Go to work.
- He's a Republican too.
98
00:08:10,574 --> 00:08:13,361
- Thank you.
- Yes, he's a Republican. Mr. Quincy is.
99
00:08:13,577 --> 00:08:14,988
Joe.
100
00:08:15,204 --> 00:08:16,579
This is a cool office, Joe.
101
00:08:17,331 --> 00:08:21,328
You got a little window up there near
the ceiling that looks out onto the... .
102
00:08:21,502 --> 00:08:23,328
The... . What do you call it? The... .
103
00:08:23,504 --> 00:08:24,832
- Alley?
- Yeah.
104
00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:27,247
If you hang them on that pipe
late afternoon...
105
00:08:27,424 --> 00:08:30,710
...you get your suits pressed.
- You're the welcoming committee?
106
00:08:30,928 --> 00:08:33,466
No, but that's a good idea.
Let me show you around.
107
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:35,638
I should probably stay and get started...
108
00:08:35,849 --> 00:08:38,934
Joe, I outrank you by, like, 17 rungs,
so follow me, would you?
109
00:08:39,102 --> 00:08:41,593
- Sure.
- Come on, it's gonna be fun.
110
00:08:41,813 --> 00:08:44,186
If it's not, pretend that it is.
You know why?
111
00:08:44,358 --> 00:08:46,434
Because you outrank me by,
like, 17 rungs.
112
00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:49,564
Hey, no, but again,
I like how you're thinking.
113
00:08:50,489 --> 00:08:53,609
You know what I'll get asked about
probably at my briefing today?
114
00:08:53,784 --> 00:08:56,453
The Department of Agriculture
report that'll come out...
115
00:08:56,620 --> 00:08:58,992
...saying commodity prices
are down six percent...
116
00:08:59,164 --> 00:09:01,834
...and will the White House
respond to broke farmers?
117
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,954
I thought since the Republicans
tore up the farm safety net...
118
00:09:05,128 --> 00:09:06,788
...you might know
what I should say.
119
00:09:06,964 --> 00:09:08,837
"Food is cheaper and that's good"?
120
00:09:09,007 --> 00:09:11,759
You're saying it's good farmers
can't sell what they grow?
121
00:09:11,927 --> 00:09:14,003
No, I wasn't.
I was saying that it's good...
122
00:09:14,179 --> 00:09:16,504
...you can buy food for
less than an entire wage.
123
00:09:16,682 --> 00:09:19,255
It's good, except, whoa,
those pesky farmers again.
124
00:09:19,434 --> 00:09:21,723
Don't worry about it.
There aren't that many.
125
00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:26,107
No, wait, I misspoke. Agriculture
is this country's biggest industry.
126
00:09:26,316 --> 00:09:27,941
Aren't you showing me around?
127
00:09:28,110 --> 00:09:31,443
That was a staircase. What do you want?
The Dolley Madison staircase.
128
00:09:31,613 --> 00:09:34,069
- Roosevelt Room. I've been in there.
- Nobody cares.
129
00:09:34,241 --> 00:09:36,068
- Okay.
- Well, this may sound silly...
130
00:09:36,243 --> 00:09:39,991
...but the science editor from the Post
has a source, a blind source...
131
00:09:40,163 --> 00:09:43,532
...who says the vice president personally
told him, the blind source...
132
00:09:43,709 --> 00:09:46,378
...the vice president interfered
to classify a report...
133
00:09:46,545 --> 00:09:50,245
...that a NASA commission, which he
heads, has, saying there's life on Mars.
134
00:09:50,465 --> 00:09:52,754
God, why would you think
you'd sound silly?
135
00:09:52,968 --> 00:09:55,424
- Would you find out if we broke the law?
- Sure.
136
00:09:55,596 --> 00:09:58,087
The farmers are victims
of this Republican Congress.
137
00:09:58,307 --> 00:10:00,798
I don't get a vote in the
House of Representatives...
138
00:10:00,976 --> 00:10:03,301
...but I go to the store.
I know food is cheaper.
139
00:10:03,478 --> 00:10:06,930
I know when life expectancy goes up,
that's not victimizing undertakers.
140
00:10:07,107 --> 00:10:09,978
Well argued, though I hate you
and everything you stand for.
141
00:10:10,152 --> 00:10:15,229
Claudia Jean, usually it takes an hour
to hate me and everything I stand for.
142
00:10:15,449 --> 00:10:18,154
I'm the press secretary, Boo-boo.
I don't have that time.
143
00:10:18,368 --> 00:10:20,657
- Can I ask you something?
- Yeah.
144
00:10:22,539 --> 00:10:25,209
What do I do if I need to
speak to the vice president?
145
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:29,126
You speak to the vice president, Joe.
You're his lawyer.
146
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,806
The kids, the camping gear, and yeah, even Rex, are all loaded up...
147
00:10:44,978 --> 00:10:47,054
... for that vacationyou've worked hard for.
148
00:10:47,231 --> 00:10:48,689
- Rex is the dog?
- Yeah.
149
00:10:48,857 --> 00:10:52,191
Is that what you want to happenon the way to your favorite campsite?
150
00:10:52,361 --> 00:10:54,768
Tell your congressmanthat America 's about freedom.
151
00:10:54,947 --> 00:10:58,066
Tell your congressman to vote"no" on 235.
152
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:03,620
That family isn't gonna drive up that hill
if we increase fuel efficiency standards.
153
00:11:03,789 --> 00:11:08,000
That family isn't gonna get up the hill
because dad's trying to pull the kids...
154
00:11:08,168 --> 00:11:11,786
...the camping gear, Rex the dog,
and what would appear to be his den...
155
00:11:11,964 --> 00:11:14,252
...up K2 in a Ford Falcon.
156
00:11:14,424 --> 00:11:16,915
- Actually, it's the power of the ad.
- Say that again.
157
00:11:17,094 --> 00:11:19,336
Actually, it's the power of the ad.
158
00:11:19,513 --> 00:11:22,597
- You thought that ad was powerful?
- Yeah. You think it sucks?
159
00:11:22,808 --> 00:11:24,516
Yeah. If I'm watching that ad...
160
00:11:24,685 --> 00:11:29,062
It wasn't for you. It wasn't about dad.
It was about mom looking worried.
161
00:11:29,273 --> 00:11:31,680
- That was for soccer mom? That?
- Yes.
162
00:11:31,859 --> 00:11:33,851
Soccer moms recognize
a Big Three hosing...
163
00:11:34,027 --> 00:11:36,862
...when it walks up and introduces
itself good as anyone...
164
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:40,945
...and they know it begins with"Tell your
congressman America's about freedom."
165
00:11:41,118 --> 00:11:46,243
And that mom was worried because
Dad's hauling a yard sale up Kilimanjaro.
166
00:11:46,415 --> 00:11:49,250
And she's thinking,
"Wow, I married an idiot!"
167
00:11:49,459 --> 00:11:51,832
She's worried because
the kids are in back.
168
00:11:52,379 --> 00:11:53,754
You think it'll be effective?
169
00:11:53,922 --> 00:11:56,247
It says the president
and some Hollywood types...
170
00:11:56,425 --> 00:11:59,675
...wanna put your kids in a small car
so that they can save the sky.
171
00:11:59,845 --> 00:12:02,632
- How did Hollywood types get into it?
- How do they ever?
172
00:12:04,725 --> 00:12:06,598
- You think we should run a counter ad?
- We have to.
173
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:08,678
- Saying what?
- Oh, I don't know.
174
00:12:10,689 --> 00:12:13,014
- What do you mean?
- What do you mean?
175
00:12:13,233 --> 00:12:14,644
We've been here 20 minutes.
176
00:12:14,985 --> 00:12:17,986
I came in to show you the spots
and tell you we should counter.
177
00:12:18,155 --> 00:12:19,530
I don't have an idea for one.
178
00:12:19,740 --> 00:12:24,200
Well, get one. Have an idea.
Don't come in here with half a thing...
179
00:12:24,369 --> 00:12:27,074
...and not be able to...
After you walk me to the brink...
180
00:12:27,289 --> 00:12:31,867
...and say,"We've gotta do this, it's
important, though I have no idea how"!
181
00:12:32,044 --> 00:12:34,202
Like one of those guys
who buys a new thing...
182
00:12:34,379 --> 00:12:36,752
...but doesn't know how to
get the most out of it!
183
00:12:37,424 --> 00:12:41,718
Toby, either get Andy to marry you,
or kill yourself.
184
00:12:42,221 --> 00:12:43,549
Yeah.
185
00:12:43,722 --> 00:12:46,295
- I'll start putting together a counter ad.
- Thanks.
186
00:12:46,517 --> 00:12:48,889
Want me to turn the lights down,
draw the blinds?
187
00:12:49,186 --> 00:12:51,891
- No.
- Okay.
188
00:13:05,327 --> 00:13:06,952
Stop it.
189
00:13:09,831 --> 00:13:11,539
Stop it.
190
00:13:13,961 --> 00:13:15,621
Stop it.
191
00:13:17,798 --> 00:13:19,837
You have to stop it.
192
00:13:26,390 --> 00:13:28,299
Stop it!
193
00:13:30,561 --> 00:13:33,597
Stop it.
You are gonna hurt your beak.
194
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:36,224
- Stop it.
- What the hell are you doing?
195
00:13:36,441 --> 00:13:39,395
I'm sorry, but this bird has been tapping
on the window for...
196
00:13:39,570 --> 00:13:41,811
...I don't know how long,
but a long time.
197
00:13:41,989 --> 00:13:45,192
I've lost track because I'm moving
into certain phases of dementia.
198
00:13:45,367 --> 00:13:46,826
- Let me get rid of it.
- No, no!
199
00:13:46,994 --> 00:13:49,070
- What are you gonna do?
- Scare him away.
200
00:13:49,246 --> 00:13:50,574
No, it's not nice.
201
00:13:50,747 --> 00:13:53,583
- I'm not gonna hurt him.
- He's not bothering anybody.
202
00:13:53,792 --> 00:13:56,366
- He's gonna be bothering me, right?
- No.
203
00:13:56,879 --> 00:13:58,207
Stop it.
204
00:13:58,380 --> 00:14:00,752
- No. You're gonna wanna go see Leo.
- Why?
205
00:14:00,924 --> 00:14:04,258
Carol got a call:"Did the White House
press the Justice Department...
206
00:14:04,428 --> 00:14:06,800
...to call off their investigation
of Casseon?"
207
00:14:07,014 --> 00:14:08,389
- No.
- No what?
208
00:14:08,557 --> 00:14:11,095
- No, we didn't.
- You don't wanna take the call to Leo?
209
00:14:11,268 --> 00:14:14,471
Justice didn't call it off.
They reached a settlement with Casseon.
210
00:14:14,646 --> 00:14:16,722
It was from the Post.
They have a source.
211
00:14:16,899 --> 00:14:19,983
You can work with C.J. 's office
to run down the source, I guess.
212
00:14:20,152 --> 00:14:21,480
You're saying I can do this?
213
00:14:22,738 --> 00:14:24,066
- Excuse me.
- Hey.
214
00:14:24,239 --> 00:14:26,813
- Hang on. How's it going so far?
- Good, thanks.
215
00:14:27,034 --> 00:14:29,026
If I had a few questions
for Leo McGarry...
216
00:14:29,203 --> 00:14:31,872
...do I go straight to his office
or do I run it by you?
217
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,954
At the beginning,
give me a quick hit...
218
00:14:34,124 --> 00:14:37,575
...just so you can learn how to keep
the crazy stuff out of his office.
219
00:14:37,753 --> 00:14:39,496
- Stop it.
- Stop it.
220
00:14:39,713 --> 00:14:42,548
- What do you got?
- Reporter looking into the White House...
221
00:14:42,716 --> 00:14:44,839
...suppressing a NASA commission.
222
00:14:45,761 --> 00:14:47,967
This is two in one day. I just got:
223
00:14:48,180 --> 00:14:50,849
"Did the White House interfere
with Casseon antitrust?"
224
00:14:51,016 --> 00:14:52,510
Yeah...
225
00:14:52,726 --> 00:14:55,561
...you can go ahead and work
with C.J. 's office. And, sure.
226
00:14:55,729 --> 00:14:57,971
- Thanks.
- Wait.
227
00:14:59,316 --> 00:15:01,439
What did we get for calling
off the DOJ?
228
00:15:01,652 --> 00:15:04,143
A hundred thousand computers
in classrooms.
229
00:15:04,571 --> 00:15:07,691
- They said that? You weren't joking?
- No.
230
00:15:07,908 --> 00:15:09,283
They said that to... .
231
00:15:09,493 --> 00:15:11,699
- Carol said the reporter said that?
- Yeah.
232
00:15:11,912 --> 00:15:13,536
Well, now we go see Leo.
233
00:15:16,083 --> 00:15:18,704
- So you're our new sawbones.
- A sawbones is a doctor.
234
00:15:18,877 --> 00:15:21,036
- Is it?
- Yeah. A lawyer's a shyster.
235
00:15:21,213 --> 00:15:22,707
I got him to say it.
236
00:15:22,881 --> 00:15:25,123
I don't... Josh is a lawyer.
237
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:28,467
Well, yeah.
I mean, he went to law school, but... .
238
00:15:28,971 --> 00:15:30,963
You don't practice law
is all I was saying.
239
00:15:31,139 --> 00:15:36,561
I don't practice law? I write the laws.
I make the laws. I am the law!
240
00:15:36,728 --> 00:15:39,932
We're having a problem with a bird
outside our office. Are you?
241
00:15:40,107 --> 00:15:42,728
Better than that, I think I may
have a family of bats.
242
00:15:42,901 --> 00:15:45,309
- Margaret, this is Joe Quincy.
- Yes, Joe.
243
00:15:45,529 --> 00:15:49,396
The girls in Political Affairs asked me
to tell you they wouldn't have covered...
244
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:53,068
...your parking spot with mayonnaise
if they'd known you were a biscuit.
245
00:15:53,787 --> 00:15:57,073
Okay. Well, tell them,
you know, no problem.
246
00:15:57,291 --> 00:15:59,248
- Leo?
- What do you need? Quickly.
247
00:15:59,418 --> 00:16:02,205
Set a record right now.
Make the news.
248
00:16:02,379 --> 00:16:03,921
You mind if I go first?
249
00:16:04,089 --> 00:16:06,794
Okay, Donna just got a question
from the Post, did we...?
250
00:16:06,967 --> 00:16:09,090
- I'm sorry, have you met?
- I met him. What?
251
00:16:09,553 --> 00:16:11,177
- All right, you go first.
- Yeah.
252
00:16:11,346 --> 00:16:13,588
Mr. McGarry, the press secretary
came to me...
253
00:16:13,807 --> 00:16:15,551
...with a question from the Post...
254
00:16:15,726 --> 00:16:19,723
...who has a source claiming a NASA
study was classified by the White House.
255
00:16:19,938 --> 00:16:22,394
- What do they think it said?
- That... .
256
00:16:22,608 --> 00:16:24,316
Sir, I'm, you know... .
257
00:16:24,484 --> 00:16:28,352
They claim it said that
a meteorite from Mars...
258
00:16:28,530 --> 00:16:31,650
...from Mars was discovered
in Antarctica...
259
00:16:31,825 --> 00:16:35,989
...about 30 years ago and that we found
fossilized carbonate molecules.
260
00:16:37,664 --> 00:16:40,665
That we know there's life on Mars.
That's what they're saying.
261
00:16:40,876 --> 00:16:44,375
The Defense Department classified
the NASA commission report.
262
00:16:44,588 --> 00:16:48,372
- I'm sorry?
- That report was classified by Defense.
263
00:16:48,592 --> 00:16:51,842
- The report exists?
- I can't tell you that. It was classified.
264
00:16:52,012 --> 00:16:54,966
I can tell you it was classified
by the Defense Department.
265
00:16:55,182 --> 00:16:56,510
What about you?
266
00:16:56,683 --> 00:17:01,808
Did we get the Justice Department to
call off its investigation with Casseon?
267
00:17:02,022 --> 00:17:05,972
- They didn't call it off. They settled.
- Ask Donna what they bribed us with.
268
00:17:07,236 --> 00:17:09,027
Tell him what the Post said we got.
269
00:17:09,196 --> 00:17:11,354
A hundred thousand computers
in classrooms.
270
00:17:14,034 --> 00:17:17,485
- What?
- That was part of the settlement.
271
00:17:18,705 --> 00:17:21,623
There's a leak.
This, the Mars people.
272
00:17:21,792 --> 00:17:25,161
Don't get me started. The stuff
I think you still won't tell me...
273
00:17:26,713 --> 00:17:31,874
Who knew about the terms with
Casseon, outside us? And now them.
274
00:17:32,052 --> 00:17:36,679
The president, me and you. Counsel.
Counsel at Treasury and Commerce.
275
00:17:36,890 --> 00:17:39,512
Two, three guys at NEC.
Hackley, Little, May.
276
00:17:39,726 --> 00:17:41,055
- The vice president?
- Yeah.
277
00:17:41,228 --> 00:17:43,849
The assistant attorney general
for Antitrust. Did we...?
278
00:17:44,022 --> 00:17:47,806
Excuse me. The vice president knew
the terms of the Casseon settlement?
279
00:17:47,985 --> 00:17:49,562
- Sure.
- Fix this, would you?
280
00:17:49,736 --> 00:17:54,066
There's a story we're obstructing justice,
in another, we're in a Ray Bradbury yarn.
281
00:17:54,241 --> 00:17:55,735
- These make me crazy.
- Yes, sir.
282
00:17:55,909 --> 00:17:57,534
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
283
00:17:57,703 --> 00:17:59,742
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
284
00:18:16,346 --> 00:18:18,837
All right, it's gotta be
something like this.
285
00:18:19,016 --> 00:18:20,593
It's gonna be something... .
286
00:18:20,767 --> 00:18:23,603
All it needs to be...
It's gotta be something pointing to...
287
00:18:23,854 --> 00:18:26,096
- I'm sorry. Cassie, you had the turkey?
- Yeah.
288
00:18:26,273 --> 00:18:28,479
A soccer mom. No.
289
00:18:28,650 --> 00:18:31,651
Fade in on an SUV stuck in the mud.
290
00:18:31,820 --> 00:18:35,319
The soccer mom behind the wheel
is switching from reverse to drive...
291
00:18:35,490 --> 00:18:37,364
...her wheels spinning in place.
292
00:18:37,534 --> 00:18:40,571
And behind her we see she's pulling...
Wait for it... .
293
00:18:40,787 --> 00:18:45,034
- A Saudi oil rig!
- A Saudi oil rig! That's exactly right!
294
00:18:45,250 --> 00:18:47,658
She's trying to pull a Saudi oil rig.
295
00:18:47,878 --> 00:18:50,001
We're in mind meld,
Lauren Number Two and I.
296
00:18:50,214 --> 00:18:52,539
- I'm number three.
- I moved you up. You see?
297
00:18:52,758 --> 00:18:54,964
How are people gonna know
it's a Saudi oil rig?
298
00:18:55,135 --> 00:18:58,338
- How are people gonna know it's Saudi?
- Well, that's a good point.
299
00:18:59,389 --> 00:19:02,343
You had the number-two ranking
among Laurens, but you lost it.
300
00:19:02,518 --> 00:19:06,017
She's number one. Then I expect
you two to compete for the two spot.
301
00:19:06,188 --> 00:19:07,896
- Will.
- What you got, Lauren Shelby?
302
00:19:08,106 --> 00:19:10,229
What if instead of hauling
a Saudi oil rig...
303
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,437
...she's hauling actual Saudis.
- Hauling Saudis?
304
00:19:14,196 --> 00:19:15,690
Like a U-Haul full of Saudis?
305
00:19:15,864 --> 00:19:18,735
Maybe the oil rig could have
Arabic writing on it.
306
00:19:18,951 --> 00:19:22,035
Is this coming awfully close to a spot
the Klan might produce?
307
00:19:22,204 --> 00:19:23,579
I was about to say.
308
00:19:23,747 --> 00:19:25,289
- You had the chicken?
- Thank you.
309
00:19:25,457 --> 00:19:28,292
You know what we should do?
We should use the same family.
310
00:19:28,502 --> 00:19:31,456
Yes! We get the same actors,
driving an SUV this time.
311
00:19:31,630 --> 00:19:35,213
- But they stop every three miles for gas.
- I like it. Who else?
312
00:19:35,425 --> 00:19:39,719
- How is that gonna play in 15 seconds?
- How's it gonna play in 15 seconds?
313
00:19:39,930 --> 00:19:41,389
- Give your food back.
- Will.
314
00:19:41,557 --> 00:19:43,217
We're not hauling Saudis!
315
00:19:43,433 --> 00:19:46,637
I'm not saying the soccer mom's
dragging them up the hill...
316
00:19:46,812 --> 00:19:48,389
...they'd be super comfortable.
317
00:19:48,605 --> 00:19:50,645
- Stop talking.
- Okay.
318
00:19:54,528 --> 00:19:56,983
Helen Baldwin is gonna write a book.
319
00:19:57,281 --> 00:20:01,824
She's retained an agent who's sent
around an outline. There's a bidding war.
320
00:20:01,994 --> 00:20:06,157
Random House bought it for low seven
figures, according to Stu Winkle.
321
00:20:07,749 --> 00:20:10,122
Could that possibly be his real name?
322
00:20:10,711 --> 00:20:14,210
"Baldwin, long a fixture
in D.C. and Manhattan society...
323
00:20:14,381 --> 00:20:17,216
...whether for work on charity
or her position on the arm...
324
00:20:17,384 --> 00:20:20,967
...of some of Wall Street, Washington
and Hollywood's most eligible men...
325
00:20:21,138 --> 00:20:25,716
...as well as hosting the Beltway's..."
What the hell kind of sentence is this?
326
00:20:30,898 --> 00:20:34,812
There's a 73-year-old lady who works
cleaning and winding all the clocks.
327
00:20:34,985 --> 00:20:36,313
She won't retire.
328
00:20:36,486 --> 00:20:39,690
She inherited it from her mother,
who inherited it from her mother.
329
00:20:39,865 --> 00:20:42,023
She earns $22,000 a year.
330
00:20:42,201 --> 00:20:45,237
She walks in rooms where
there's personal correspondence.
331
00:20:45,412 --> 00:20:47,950
Where she can hear if the president
and first lady are fighting.
332
00:20:48,332 --> 00:20:50,787
Where she can see people
come for secret meetings.
333
00:20:50,959 --> 00:20:53,664
She's been doing this
for five decades of presidents.
334
00:20:53,879 --> 00:20:55,955
Her name is Mrs. Wheely.
335
00:20:56,131 --> 00:20:58,966
And I said,"Mrs. Wheely,
you should really write a book."
336
00:20:59,134 --> 00:21:03,048
She said,"No, no, no.
We don't do that."
337
00:21:04,181 --> 00:21:05,889
Twenty-two thousand a year.
338
00:21:10,145 --> 00:21:12,517
You said I wouldn't even know
you were here.
339
00:21:12,689 --> 00:21:15,607
Just so you know,
I can tell that you are.
340
00:21:20,239 --> 00:21:22,112
Are you eating a salad?
341
00:21:23,492 --> 00:21:25,947
- Yeah.
- Why?
342
00:21:26,620 --> 00:21:27,948
Because I am.
343
00:21:28,121 --> 00:21:30,743
I don't think I've ever seen you
eat a salad.
344
00:21:30,916 --> 00:21:32,955
What kind of salad is it?
345
00:21:33,418 --> 00:21:36,289
- I don't know.
- Is it mixed greens?
346
00:21:36,463 --> 00:21:39,381
I don't know what kind of salad.
I'm eating a salad, okay?
347
00:21:39,550 --> 00:21:41,673
I'm doing it.
Do I have to know the names?
348
00:21:41,844 --> 00:21:45,509
There's no difference between them.
It's a bowl of weeds.
349
00:21:45,681 --> 00:21:49,215
Some have cheese. This isn't the kind.
Does that answer your question?
350
00:21:49,434 --> 00:21:52,803
Now, how many years have you guys
been,"Toby, you eat like a teenager.
351
00:21:52,980 --> 00:21:55,352
Toby, that's red meat.
That's your second cigar."
352
00:21:55,524 --> 00:21:58,774
Here I am eating a salad, which you
could cover in barbecue sauce...
353
00:21:58,944 --> 00:22:02,395
...and it would still taste like the ground,
and I'm getting heckled!
354
00:22:02,573 --> 00:22:06,321
Who wanted to eat his roast beef
sandwich with ketchup on a Kaiser roll...
355
00:22:06,493 --> 00:22:09,577
...and watch the damn tennis
on my TV!
356
00:22:10,706 --> 00:22:12,698
That's all I'm saying.
357
00:22:13,166 --> 00:22:16,203
Are you really doing everything you can
to get her to marry you?
358
00:22:16,378 --> 00:22:18,205
Yes, I'm doing everything I can. What?
359
00:22:18,380 --> 00:22:20,005
Excuse me, I'm Joe Quincy.
360
00:22:20,174 --> 00:22:23,210
- They told you I was coming by?
- Yeah. You're the new sawbones.
361
00:22:23,427 --> 00:22:25,882
Donna Moss already got me to say it.
362
00:22:26,096 --> 00:22:27,970
Damn it. This is Charlie Young.
363
00:22:28,140 --> 00:22:29,468
- Sure.
- How you doing?
364
00:22:29,641 --> 00:22:32,678
Your office had requested comments
on your draft statement...
365
00:22:32,853 --> 00:22:35,937
...about a decision from
the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
366
00:22:36,148 --> 00:22:39,018
If counsel's fine, just have
C.J. Cregg's office put it out.
367
00:22:39,193 --> 00:22:42,277
Yeah, I saw it was headed there.
The language is incendiary.
368
00:22:42,446 --> 00:22:45,400
I wasn't sure if you knew
you couldn't beat up on Appeals...
369
00:22:45,574 --> 00:22:48,859
...and then expect the Supreme Court
to hear the case.
370
00:22:49,161 --> 00:22:52,364
Did I beat up on them in the notes
for the press comments?
371
00:22:52,539 --> 00:22:53,950
- Yes.
- What'd I say?
372
00:22:54,124 --> 00:22:55,453
You said, in this case:
373
00:22:55,626 --> 00:22:59,706
"The Fourth Circuit lacked the judicial
imagination God gave pistachio nuts."
374
00:23:03,675 --> 00:23:06,131
- They did.
- Perhaps.
375
00:23:06,970 --> 00:23:11,798
Did you think I was gonna have the press
secretary on behalf of the president...
376
00:23:12,476 --> 00:23:16,011
...compare a federal judge
to a pistachio nut?
377
00:23:17,189 --> 00:23:19,478
The language gets cleaned up
on C.J. 's desk.
378
00:23:20,734 --> 00:23:23,142
- That makes sense.
- Toby's distracted by a woman.
379
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:24,648
And salads.
380
00:23:24,821 --> 00:23:28,866
When you do 10 minutes on Helen
Baldwin's book deal, it's righteous.
381
00:23:29,034 --> 00:23:32,320
But I speak my mind after getting poked
with a stick, and it's Andy!
382
00:23:32,538 --> 00:23:34,614
- Helen Baldwin has a book deal?
- Yep.
383
00:23:35,499 --> 00:23:38,072
- Where did you find that out?
- I'm glad you asked...
384
00:23:38,252 --> 00:23:41,206
...because it gives me the opportunity
to say"Stu Winkle."
385
00:23:41,380 --> 00:23:44,131
I got it from Stu Winkle.
Post's man-in-the-thick-of-it.
386
00:23:44,341 --> 00:23:46,334
- He's their gossip guy?
- Yeah.
387
00:23:46,510 --> 00:23:49,001
- Is he new there?
- Yeah.
388
00:23:53,517 --> 00:23:57,597
Okay. The northwest lobby is...
389
00:23:57,771 --> 00:23:59,349
...is that way?
- Yeah.
390
00:23:59,565 --> 00:24:02,482
You just go that way and then,
you know, ask somebody else.
391
00:24:02,693 --> 00:24:05,729
Thanks. Sorry for jumping
the gun on the Fourth Circuit.
392
00:24:06,029 --> 00:24:07,488
Joe?
393
00:24:08,490 --> 00:24:10,399
- What's going on?
- I'm sure it's nothing.
394
00:24:10,576 --> 00:24:11,904
This is just my first day.
395
00:24:15,914 --> 00:24:19,782
Two press inquiries that came
to my attention that sounded...
396
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,787
...alike, is all.
397
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,671
Can I get back to you?
398
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,714
Make sure you do.
399
00:24:36,351 --> 00:24:39,471
Josh thinks you should advance sales
numbers of first homes to the Journal.
400
00:24:39,646 --> 00:24:41,306
The Times got existing home sales.
401
00:24:41,481 --> 00:24:43,640
Know what happens
with negotiated press leaks?
402
00:24:43,817 --> 00:24:47,316
Two-thirds give us lousy coverage
because they're mad they didn't get it.
403
00:24:47,487 --> 00:24:49,065
And the other third...
404
00:24:49,239 --> 00:24:51,315
...doesn't give us
better coverage because...
405
00:24:51,533 --> 00:24:53,573
- What was that?
- I don't believe it.
406
00:24:53,785 --> 00:24:55,778
Josh has this guy at his window too.
407
00:24:55,954 --> 00:24:59,786
They see their reflection in the window
and they think it's another bird.
408
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,372
What's the learning curve on a bird?
409
00:25:02,586 --> 00:25:04,080
Stop it.
410
00:25:05,047 --> 00:25:06,505
- Excuse me.
- Sorry.
411
00:25:06,715 --> 00:25:09,420
We thought you were a huge bird
knocking on the door.
412
00:25:09,593 --> 00:25:12,166
- Something up with birds?
- One's obsessed with Donna.
413
00:25:12,346 --> 00:25:14,469
It's true, I'm like Tippi Hedren
around here.
414
00:25:14,681 --> 00:25:16,639
I'm sorry, would you mind if...?
415
00:25:16,808 --> 00:25:18,351
No.
416
00:25:22,147 --> 00:25:24,104
- Can I close the door?
- Donna just did.
417
00:25:26,068 --> 00:25:29,686
You said the science editor,
when he came to you with a question...
418
00:25:29,905 --> 00:25:32,692
I wouldn't worry about Mars.
I just gave you a hard time.
419
00:25:32,866 --> 00:25:35,073
No kidding. By the way,
there was a report.
420
00:25:35,244 --> 00:25:37,320
It was classified
by the Defense Department.
421
00:25:37,538 --> 00:25:40,741
- We'll leave that for another time.
- What's the problem?
422
00:25:40,916 --> 00:25:44,415
You said the editor had a blind source,
that it came from someone else...
423
00:25:44,586 --> 00:25:48,038
...at the paper, and I think I know who.
- Who?
424
00:25:48,257 --> 00:25:50,926
A guy named Stu Winkle,
who has a new gossip column.
425
00:25:51,134 --> 00:25:53,590
How would he get a story
about the Pentagon?
426
00:25:53,762 --> 00:25:55,137
- I'd rather not say yet.
- Why?
427
00:25:55,305 --> 00:25:59,599
If I'm wrong, it'll be inappropriate that I
suggested it and I'll be held in contempt.
428
00:25:59,810 --> 00:26:03,309
- You are wrong.
- No, I'm not.
429
00:26:04,147 --> 00:26:07,516
Stu Winkles don't get tips about
the White House suppressing reports.
430
00:26:07,693 --> 00:26:10,184
The NASA report's over.
I'm not concerned with that.
431
00:26:10,362 --> 00:26:13,696
Would you mind calling him to confirm
that he's the other reporter?
432
00:26:13,866 --> 00:26:15,692
You want me to call Stu Winkle?
433
00:26:15,909 --> 00:26:20,037
- He has a new column. Wish him luck.
- I don't make calls to gossip columnists.
434
00:26:20,205 --> 00:26:22,530
- He's gonna be flattered.
- You won't tell me why?
435
00:26:22,749 --> 00:26:24,541
- No.
- Even if I give you assurances...
436
00:26:24,710 --> 00:26:27,876
...that I already hold you in contempt?
- Yes.
437
00:26:31,383 --> 00:26:32,961
Carol?
438
00:26:34,052 --> 00:26:36,590
Would you get me Stu Winkle
at the Washington Post?
439
00:26:36,763 --> 00:26:39,254
- I'm sorry?
- Stu Winkle at the Post.
440
00:26:39,433 --> 00:26:41,057
- Winkle?
- Yes.
441
00:26:43,604 --> 00:26:46,688
- When you get him, here's what you say.
- I know what to say.
442
00:26:57,159 --> 00:26:59,531
"Judicial imagination of pistachio nuts."
443
00:26:59,703 --> 00:27:02,989
- Can't say that to the Fourth Circuit.
- No.
444
00:27:04,583 --> 00:27:07,703
C.J., you have Stu Winkle on one.
445
00:27:10,964 --> 00:27:13,918
Stu, this is C.J. Cregg
at the White House.
446
00:27:16,303 --> 00:27:19,257
- Stu?
-Oh, my God, it's really you, isn 't it?
447
00:27:19,473 --> 00:27:23,767
It is, and I saw you have a new column
and I think it's terrific...
448
00:27:23,936 --> 00:27:27,055
...and everyone here at the White House
wishes you a lot of luck.
449
00:27:27,231 --> 00:27:29,804
You are the classiest thingfor calling me.
450
00:27:29,983 --> 00:27:33,068
- Well... .
-You are the classiest thing!
451
00:27:33,237 --> 00:27:37,614
You're my hero, C.J. Your brilliance andyour sense of humor and your clothes.
452
00:27:37,783 --> 00:27:40,618
- Thank you.
-The evening gowns. Who makes them?
453
00:27:40,786 --> 00:27:43,324
Do not tell me you buy off the rack, I'll kill you.
454
00:27:43,497 --> 00:27:46,035
- Well, I'm a girl on a budget.
-Don 't try that on me.
455
00:27:46,208 --> 00:27:47,583
No, really.
456
00:27:47,751 --> 00:27:51,500
Like the party at the Japanese Embassy, you were wearing a dress from Saks.
457
00:27:51,672 --> 00:27:55,669
Stu, I wanted to get you a direct answer
to that NASA commission question...
458
00:27:55,843 --> 00:27:57,882
...that Ralph Gish and Katie
brought me.
459
00:27:58,053 --> 00:28:03,889
It was the Defense Department, not the
White House who classified the report.
460
00:28:09,231 --> 00:28:10,809
Stu?
461
00:28:13,068 --> 00:28:14,942
Well, that makes perfect sense.
462
00:28:15,153 --> 00:28:18,404
I hope you don 't mind, it soundedcrazy enough, but what do I know?
463
00:28:18,574 --> 00:28:20,899
So you've gottarun these things down.
464
00:28:21,451 --> 00:28:24,121
I know you have all the free timein the world...
465
00:28:24,329 --> 00:28:27,948
... but it would be great if we couldgo for coffee, and I'll tell you why:
466
00:28:28,166 --> 00:28:31,618
You may find it hard to believe, but before I got into this stuff...
467
00:28:31,837 --> 00:28:35,751
... I was a serious journalist. I don 't mean"boring" serious, but the more...
468
00:28:36,717 --> 00:28:38,377
More than the celebrity fluff.
469
00:28:38,552 --> 00:28:40,426
The embarrassing thing is, I was so green...
470
00:28:40,596 --> 00:28:44,130
... I spent thousands of dollars on aJ- School sheepskin from Columbia.
471
00:28:44,308 --> 00:28:47,842
Of course, that and a metro card will getyou a ride on the subway, right?
472
00:28:48,020 --> 00:28:51,768
After that, I spent two years gettingpeople's coffee at Town & Country...
473
00:28:51,982 --> 00:28:55,517
... before I realized I was better offgetting experiences in the trenches.
474
00:28:55,694 --> 00:28:59,774
I freelanced my butt off. I wrote aboutAIDS orphans, Mississippi flood victims...
475
00:28:59,948 --> 00:29:03,780
... a series on homeless teenagers, raceriots and rural problems in the Midwest.
476
00:29:03,952 --> 00:29:05,696
And I felt good about myself.
477
00:29:05,871 --> 00:29:09,916
But that stuff pays the same as if I satwith Angela Moviestar for an hour...
478
00:29:10,083 --> 00:29:13,749
... and let the tape recorder transcribe herblathering about her boyfriend...
479
00:29:13,921 --> 00:29:18,666
... and what a risk her new role is. Let somebody else get a Pulitzer Prize.
480
00:29:18,842 --> 00:29:21,677
I need to maximize the amountI can make per hour.
481
00:29:21,845 --> 00:29:24,253
Now that I've been doing this for like...
482
00:29:24,431 --> 00:29:29,389
... 10 years, I wanna use this position atthe Post to get my toes back into...
483
00:29:29,561 --> 00:29:34,223
Stu, thank you very much.
I'm sorry. I have to go.
484
00:29:34,399 --> 00:29:36,772
Well, I cannot tell you how class...
485
00:29:48,914 --> 00:29:50,705
Carol?
486
00:29:52,876 --> 00:29:54,869
- Yeah.
- I need to see Josh and Toby.
487
00:29:55,045 --> 00:29:57,618
And Joe needs to see
the vice president.
488
00:30:00,092 --> 00:30:01,752
Okay.
489
00:30:14,773 --> 00:30:18,391
I want Cairo to focus on legaland regulatory reforms.
490
00:30:18,569 --> 00:30:21,854
We've got the whole regulatory agenda
left over from last time.
491
00:30:22,072 --> 00:30:24,444
- We do.
- Seriously, the whole agenda is left over.
492
00:30:24,616 --> 00:30:28,400
And Vice President Abou El-Azm wants
the trade and investment framework.
493
00:30:28,620 --> 00:30:32,036
Yeah, my point is we can get to that
in a closed-door session.
494
00:30:32,207 --> 00:30:36,834
You understand, it can't appear as if I'm
saying the Syrian question is less urgent.
495
00:30:37,004 --> 00:30:38,581
Yes, sir.
496
00:30:41,842 --> 00:30:43,502
Well, it's been a long day.
497
00:30:43,719 --> 00:30:45,343
- We're done.
- Thank you, sir.
498
00:30:45,512 --> 00:30:47,801
Thank you, Mr. Vice President.
499
00:30:50,309 --> 00:30:54,769
Guys, do me a favor.
Don't go home yet.
500
00:30:55,314 --> 00:30:56,856
Wait for me a minute, okay?
501
00:30:57,065 --> 00:30:58,975
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
502
00:31:15,751 --> 00:31:18,076
Good evening, Mr. Vice President.
503
00:31:18,378 --> 00:31:20,086
Good evening.
504
00:31:20,672 --> 00:31:22,630
- You brought friendly faces.
- Sir?
505
00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:25,884
You brought friendly faces.
That was considerate.
506
00:31:26,470 --> 00:31:28,178
- You're Joe Quincy?
- Yes, sir.
507
00:31:28,347 --> 00:31:30,386
- This is your first day?
- Yes, sir.
508
00:31:30,599 --> 00:31:32,675
They're gonna put your picture
up someplace.
509
00:31:32,851 --> 00:31:35,140
You're gonna get honored
at a luncheon.
510
00:31:35,354 --> 00:31:36,931
We were just meeting in here.
511
00:31:37,105 --> 00:31:39,561
I have a bilateral commission...
512
00:31:39,775 --> 00:31:42,811
...with the vice president of Egypt.
It's in Cairo this year.
513
00:31:42,986 --> 00:31:47,529
We see how legal and financial systems
can attract foreign investments.
514
00:31:47,699 --> 00:31:51,744
So look out for ShopEgypt. Org,
I suppose.
515
00:31:53,038 --> 00:31:56,039
- You're going to tell me I'm not going.
- Mr. Vice President...
516
00:31:56,208 --> 00:31:59,458
...have you been having an affair
with Helen Baldwin while here?
517
00:32:00,963 --> 00:32:03,798
- He's asking because...
- I should hit you in the face.
518
00:32:04,550 --> 00:32:07,634
- He's asking because...
- I know why he's asking.
519
00:32:07,845 --> 00:32:10,514
I know why he's asking.
I understand why you're here.
520
00:32:10,722 --> 00:32:12,098
I've spoken with C.J.
521
00:32:23,944 --> 00:32:25,319
Yes.
522
00:32:30,242 --> 00:32:32,069
And I like to show off.
523
00:32:32,536 --> 00:32:34,493
I said things.
524
00:32:35,581 --> 00:32:38,700
I said I'd seen proof of life on Mars.
525
00:32:41,420 --> 00:32:45,334
I said I'd intervened
at the Justice Department...
526
00:32:45,549 --> 00:32:48,419
...put 100,000 computers
in the classrooms...
527
00:32:48,635 --> 00:32:51,506
...which I thought made me sound
like a good guy.
528
00:32:54,641 --> 00:32:57,927
- What, did you hear a rumor once?
- Yes, sir.
529
00:32:58,103 --> 00:33:01,721
You saw Helen had a book deal,
you knew she must've teased them.
530
00:33:01,899 --> 00:33:03,690
It's a tell-all.
531
00:33:03,859 --> 00:33:08,687
A couple items in gossip columns, maybe
the guy was the science editor's contact?
532
00:33:08,906 --> 00:33:10,281
Yes, sir.
533
00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:13,989
Well, you earned your money today.
534
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,662
This could've been bad...
535
00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:19,031
...but you found it early.
536
00:33:19,499 --> 00:33:22,370
- What do I do now?
- Sir, I'm an associate counsel.
537
00:33:22,586 --> 00:33:26,631
This is my first day. I've spoken to
Oliver Babish, who's gotten on a plane...
538
00:33:26,798 --> 00:33:29,087
What do I do now?
539
00:33:35,432 --> 00:33:38,053
I think you've gotta talk
to your family now, sir.
540
00:33:54,785 --> 00:33:56,409
Thanks.
541
00:34:04,753 --> 00:34:08,418
- Thank you, Mr. Vice President.
- Thank you, Mr. Vice President.
542
00:34:08,590 --> 00:34:10,630
Thank you, sir.
543
00:34:31,947 --> 00:34:34,485
- I hope I didn't see you smile in there.
- You didn't.
544
00:34:34,658 --> 00:34:37,114
Josh, you didn't.
545
00:34:42,082 --> 00:34:43,457
- Gas masks.
- Yes.
546
00:34:43,625 --> 00:34:46,163
- Something with gas masks.
- Sing to me, Lauren Romano.
547
00:34:46,336 --> 00:34:47,747
I'm Lauren Romano.
548
00:34:47,921 --> 00:34:51,622
- Keep going with the gas masks.
- Mothers barely able to even see...
549
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,125
...their children through the haze
of gas masks.
550
00:34:54,303 --> 00:34:56,379
You rode it right off the rails,
didn't you?
551
00:34:56,555 --> 00:34:57,883
I did.
552
00:34:58,056 --> 00:35:00,844
Anyone else think it's weird
that Toby had a salad?
553
00:35:01,018 --> 00:35:04,718
Anyone else think it's weird that
Lauren Romano's still talking about it?
554
00:35:04,897 --> 00:35:07,648
I'm Lauren Romano.
555
00:35:07,816 --> 00:35:12,941
Clear blue sky. The camera tilts down
into a slowly thickening... Listen to this:
556
00:35:13,113 --> 00:35:17,111
Clear blue sky. The camera tilts down
into a slowly thickening haze...
557
00:35:17,284 --> 00:35:19,905
...until it levels on a suburban street.
558
00:35:20,078 --> 00:35:25,073
An SUV filled with Mom, Dad, the kids,
same actors from the other ad, and Rex.
559
00:35:25,250 --> 00:35:27,741
They get out and they're wearing
gas masks.
560
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,834
We've also got one where the family's
towing Saudis in a U-Haul.
561
00:35:32,966 --> 00:35:35,504
Doesn't have the feel
of high-minded debate, does it?
562
00:35:35,677 --> 00:35:38,003
- No, but actually you don't want it to.
- Why not?
563
00:35:38,180 --> 00:35:42,427
We're countering an attack ad.
And when you're in the trenches...
564
00:35:42,601 --> 00:35:45,306
But we're not in the trenches.
565
00:35:47,564 --> 00:35:51,313
Two bodies of government are debating
fuel efficiency at the highest level.
566
00:35:51,485 --> 00:35:53,359
We're not in the trenches.
567
00:35:55,489 --> 00:35:59,107
I don't know.
I know it's a 15-second spot.
568
00:35:59,284 --> 00:36:02,700
You gotta scare them.
I just don't feel like doing that tonight.
569
00:36:04,957 --> 00:36:08,622
Will, you need to come with me. I need
to tell you what's about to happen.
570
00:36:41,034 --> 00:36:44,119
- You've talked to Suzanne?
- I'm sorry, sir?
571
00:36:44,288 --> 00:36:47,123
- You've talked to Suzanne?
- Yeah.
572
00:36:47,332 --> 00:36:49,788
- What happened?
- You know what happened.
573
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,581
Tell me again. How many times?
When did it start?
574
00:36:52,754 --> 00:36:55,245
- I don't think it matters.
- Mr. Vice President...
575
00:36:55,465 --> 00:36:59,249
...for this moment tonight, I'm gonna be
in charge of deciding what matters.
576
00:36:59,469 --> 00:37:01,758
Forty-seven phone calls.
577
00:37:01,972 --> 00:37:05,306
Did you not know that the White House
keeps records of phone calls?
578
00:37:05,475 --> 00:37:07,717
Did you not know that?
579
00:37:07,936 --> 00:37:11,519
- How many times? When did it start?
- It is none of your business.
580
00:37:11,690 --> 00:37:14,691
- I'm about to read about it in a book.
- Then read about it.
581
00:37:14,902 --> 00:37:17,309
Didn't it ever occur to you
that she might do this?
582
00:37:17,487 --> 00:37:19,397
No. I didn't think she would.
583
00:37:19,615 --> 00:37:21,524
You were wrong.
584
00:37:26,705 --> 00:37:29,196
Do you think there's anyone else
behind this?
585
00:37:29,416 --> 00:37:31,325
- I don't know.
- You think she was...
586
00:37:31,543 --> 00:37:34,628
...coached by Republican leadership?
- I don't know.
587
00:37:34,796 --> 00:37:38,165
- If we're gonna weather this, then...
- We're not gonna weather this.
588
00:37:38,342 --> 00:37:41,627
- We will.
- We won't. I'm resigning.
589
00:37:43,931 --> 00:37:46,469
If we're gonna do this
we've gotta start tonight, now.
590
00:37:46,683 --> 00:37:50,302
- I need you thinking now and not...
- Sir, I'm resigning the vice presidency.
591
00:37:50,521 --> 00:37:53,936
- What about"None of your business."
- I leaked classified information.
592
00:37:54,107 --> 00:37:56,598
It is their business. It's also a felony.
593
00:37:56,818 --> 00:38:00,022
- Are you in a position to deny it?
- No.
594
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,239
She's made a seven-figure book deal.
595
00:38:03,408 --> 00:38:06,860
- Not gonna have credibility.
- Since when does she need credibility?
596
00:38:07,079 --> 00:38:10,282
Apologize and move on.
Accept responsibility.
597
00:38:10,457 --> 00:38:14,407
You don't need to disclose details.
She's gonna take care of that for you.
598
00:38:14,586 --> 00:38:18,038
You'll be the special for two months,
then you can get the nomination.
599
00:38:18,257 --> 00:38:19,834
I'm not getting the nomination.
600
00:38:20,050 --> 00:38:23,170
In the middle of MS, it looked like
we couldn't recover. We did!
601
00:38:23,387 --> 00:38:27,431
Which is why it's never gonna happen
again. That was the one you get.
602
00:38:27,641 --> 00:38:30,428
I'm sorry, Mr. Vice President,
if my multiple sclerosis...
603
00:38:30,602 --> 00:38:34,600
...was a bummer for your sex life.
How the hell did you do this to us?
604
00:38:48,537 --> 00:38:52,582
You can't resign, John.
It's a terrible signal to send.
605
00:38:52,749 --> 00:38:54,374
Sir...
606
00:38:54,585 --> 00:38:59,293
...if I stay, it sabotages an entire agenda
and you know I'm right.
607
00:38:59,506 --> 00:39:01,795
The party's gonna need a candidate
who can win.
608
00:39:02,426 --> 00:39:06,720
And I think the least I can do for
Suzanne is not to drag her through it.
609
00:39:06,930 --> 00:39:09,717
Is there more? Is there another shoe?
If it's a series...
610
00:39:09,933 --> 00:39:11,475
I'd imagine she's gonna...
611
00:39:11,643 --> 00:39:14,561
You'll still get dragged through it.
It won't change anything.
612
00:39:14,730 --> 00:39:19,605
Only now, you're gonna be there alone
with no apparatus for a comeback...
613
00:39:19,776 --> 00:39:21,520
...which I'm telling you you can do.
614
00:39:21,737 --> 00:39:24,228
You can make it. I can help you.
615
00:39:26,617 --> 00:39:29,404
I don't wanna take
my family through it.
616
00:39:36,210 --> 00:39:38,167
You're a giant, John.
617
00:39:39,338 --> 00:39:43,549
You're a U.S. senator, the vice
president of the United States...
618
00:39:43,717 --> 00:39:46,290
...and presumptive nominee
of your party.
619
00:39:46,512 --> 00:39:49,085
You cannot be taken down by this...
620
00:39:49,264 --> 00:39:53,214
...cheap person and her customers,
huddled around Macy's waiting...
621
00:39:53,393 --> 00:39:56,679
...for someone to turn
themselves inside out.
622
00:39:56,855 --> 00:39:59,311
It's cause for divorce...
623
00:39:59,483 --> 00:40:01,522
...not resignation.
624
00:40:02,611 --> 00:40:08,234
You can't be taken down
by this cheap person.
625
00:40:09,326 --> 00:40:11,235
The president knows I'm right.
626
00:40:11,870 --> 00:40:13,697
So do you.
627
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,665
The truth is, I took an oath too.
628
00:40:22,631 --> 00:40:24,090
So... .
629
00:40:26,677 --> 00:40:31,089
Didn't you have any sense that this was
the kind of person who would do this?
630
00:40:34,142 --> 00:40:38,603
Hasn't it been your experience that they
look much like the people who wouldn't?
631
00:40:40,232 --> 00:40:42,106
Well, I want you to sleep on it.
632
00:40:42,276 --> 00:40:44,814
I want all of us to sleep on it.
633
00:40:46,822 --> 00:40:48,779
Thank you, Mr. President.
634
00:41:49,134 --> 00:41:50,759
Why did you take a cab?
635
00:41:50,928 --> 00:41:53,882
- My car wouldn't start.
- I'm sorry?
636
00:41:54,056 --> 00:41:56,048
My car wouldn't start.
637
00:41:57,893 --> 00:41:59,802
You know what's in here?
638
00:42:01,355 --> 00:42:03,146
It's okay.
639
00:42:15,661 --> 00:42:17,071
Okay.
640
00:42:31,343 --> 00:42:34,842
Yeah, we're gonna need
a new vice president.
