Original subtitles

Previously on The West Wing:

So, Charlie, what it is you do,

is you sort the mail for Zoey's father.

Yeah, I guess.

And you don't like me very much

because I'm with Zoey now.

Jean Paul, I'm kind of working here.

I'm going to France for three months. When?

After graduation. I think it's a great thing to do.

I just don't know why you're doing it with him.

Mr. Vice President,

have you been having an affair with Helen Baldwin

while here at the White House?

Yes.

John, if we're going to weather this...

We're not going to weather this.

We will. We won't.

Yeah, we're going to need a new Vice President.

( no volume )

( knocks )

Josh? Yeah?

The President wants to know

if we still have the vetting files from five years ago.

For Vice President you mean?

Yeah. You crossed off McKenna?

For health.

Ryan Lyndell?

Yeah, I'm a fan of Lyndell, so is the President,

but the Speaker's not,

and this guy has to get confirmed.

Too much of moonshot for the Speaker?

He's got an Asian garden

in the back of his house where he meditates.

Asian garden?

Asian garden, I know what the...

A note fell out of my wallet yesterday,

and I couldn't remember what it...

"5/7, 10:00 p.m. Paeonia Japonica/Bamboo."

Both of which

one would find in an Asian garden.

Next to each other at the Arboretum.

I wrote this note three and half years ago,

right after Zoey started school.

We buried, like, a $14 bottle of champagne,

and decided we'd dig it up and drink it

right after she graduated.

You buried the champagne at the Arboretum?

Between the Paeonia Japonica and the bamboo.

How do you get away with digging up the National Arboretum?

Oh, well, you got to do it at night.

Today's 5/7.

I know.

You got to get the bottle back.

No. You do.

No, I'm done. I gave it a shot.

She said no. She said it clearly.

You should dig it up. It's a good idea.

She's going to France tomorrow with Tartuffe.

I'm going to eat the 14 bucks.

No, I mean, as a friend.

You give it to her as a graduation present.

You give it to her at one of the parties tonight.

That way she goes off without thinking you're mad at her.

I am mad at her.

Yeah, but it's not really her fault,

and she's going away for a while.

And... anyway, I don't know

what I'm talking about. Let me ask you something.

Just between you and me...

and... I'm not looking for this particular

promotion, but...

just between you and me...

what would you think about this choice?

You got the vetting file?

See you later.

abandoned in Sacramento.

How were they able to rent a van?

Sir, I'm joining those

who are recommending Threat Condition Bravo.

I think at the very least

we have to increase security at the airports

and the seaports.

"A torrential downpour in the Pacific Northwest."

Yes, sir.

"A torrential downpour."

Yes.

And they're just missing?

Yes, sir. The five of them,

they're just missing? Yes, sir.

We're going to work on that?

Yes, sir.

Threat Con Bravo.

( knocks on table )

Find them.

Threat Con Bravo.

Leo and I will be back.

Hey, Donna, the First Lady wanted you know

that Mary and Fred Wellington are back on the trip

so we need to deal with that.

Alright.

Yeah.

You know Josh came by this morning

to show me a list of six possible nominees,

and I thought it was a very good list.

And I said, "Wow, well, this is a windfall."

And... he got very quiet,

and it occurred to me after he left

that he may have thought I meant

that it's great that the Vice President had to resign

'cause now we get one of these guys.

Did he happen to mention anything about that?

No.

I didn't mean it was good

the Vice President had to resign.

I'll tell Josh about the Wellingtons.

Okay.

C.J.: Good morning.

Good morning.

Big day. Yes.

Are you nervous?

How do you know about this?

The house? Yeah.

Not because you told me.

That's right.

WILL: Hey...

Hey. Hey.

I'm glad he's finally asking for help with this speech.

It's not going to be about commencement. Why not?

'Cause he's not going to call the four of us in

Saturday morning at 8:00 to work on a commencement speech.

Aren't you nervous you haven't seen it?

I'm choosing to be nervous about other things today.

Oh, hey, that's right, big day.

Is he talking about the house?

It's romantic.

They know about the house!

Did you tell them?

No. Did you?

It's a bold, romantic gesture.

I spread it around, got you some good will.

I think I turned some people around on you.

You can go in.

LEO: Go ahead and sit down.

He's going to be a second.

How you doing?

Good.

What is it, two weeks?

In ten days, we can pick a day on the calendar

and they'll induce.

You can pick a day? Yeah.

That's great, so you can do it on a Friday,

let the kids get their feet wet over the weekend. Yeah.

Let me tell you something... you know what I'd do?

I'd check into the hospital today.

You can't do it too soon.

Mallory was very nearly born

at Exit 32 on the Long Island Expressway.

Thanks.

Yeah, listen, I don't think this is going to come

as a galloping shock to anyone here, but last May,

I ordered a Special Ops unit to kill Abdul Shareef,

and that's what they did, and we made it look like

what got reported.

Anybody need him to stop?

No, sir.

LEO: Anybody need a minute?

No, sir. No, sir.

There was considerable evidence presented to a group

that included Fitzwallace, Nancy, Berryhill, Babish,

the Attorney General and a few others.

We gave it to the gang of eight.

The man had committed crimes and remained a threat.

For instance, we stopped him

from blowing up the Golden Gate Bridge.

Were U.S. laws broken? No.

International law? Possibly.

PRESIDENT: See, I said

we took Shareef, and they said fine,

and then you went on talking for another five, ten minutes.

Mr. President... Yes?

Why the decision to tell us this morning?

Well, I just ordered Threat Con Bravo,

so people are going to be seeing some

heightened security this weekend.

What's the threat?

Increased chatter about torrential rain

in the Pacific Northwest.

It's pouring rain in the Pacific Northwest.

I'm sure the analysts have already thought of this,

but, you know, it is raining

in the Pacific Northwest.

LEO: For a couple of years

we've been keeping an eye on

five possible Bahji sleepers in Central New York.

And last night they disappeared.

We lost them.

We lost them?

PRESIDENT: We did.

And we're worried about retribution for Shareef?

Yes.

Can I ask, how hard can it be

to keep an eye on five Qumari

religious fanatics in Schenectady?

Tell him, sister.

I think you'd both be surprised.

Anything else?

How'd you get Shareef's plane to land?

LEO: Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, hey, Toby, big day.

Big day. Big day.

The house, a masterstroke.

Come on, give us a kiss.

Thank you, sir, no.

( chuckling ): Okay.

Yes?

Well, sir, I have time today... right now.

I was wondering if you'd like me to look over

the Georgetown speech? No, I don't need help.

Yes, sir. Yeah...

I need help. Yes, sir, I'd be happy to.

Why don't you let me read what you have?

What I have? Yeah.

Well, it's been said I have

a pleasant speaking voice and oratorical style.

You don't have anything? On paper?

Yeah. No.

It's at 4:00. Yeah.

We should probably get started.

Yeah, right away,

I would think. Yeah.

Except at this minute I have to go over

and meet the agents who are being detailed to Zoey for France.

They speak French.

As well as being Secret Service agents.

I didn't mean they speak French

and so therefore are guarding Zoey in France.

Yeah, I got it, sir.

I have been thinking that I'd like to talk about creativity.

Why don't you get started on some thoughts

and I'll join you.

Yes, sir.

JOSH: Wesley.

Hey, Josh, how's it going?

You back?

No, I got to France tomorrow morning.

I'm leading Bookbag's paparazzi patrol

for three months.

Really? Yeah.

It's a bit of powder-puff detail there,

isn't it, fella?

I go where I'm told.

So, in your training,

what were you taught to do if, say

a stringer for Town and Country

were to get in her face?

You know I can kill you

and just make up the reason why I did, right?

( chuckles ): Oh, yeah.

Hi.

Good morning, Mr. President.

Are you friends of Zoey's?

No, sir. Special Agent Jamie Reed,

U.S. Secret Service.

Molly O'Connor, sir.

Randy Weathers.

Excuse me, Mr. President.

Hey.

You remember Wesley Davis.

Wes, thanks so much for doing this.

I know it's not what you like.

No, sir, I'm flattered you asked.

So, let's talk about how this is going to work.

Well, these four agents will be assigned

to the current team of 14,

that gets supplemented

by a rotating backup group from the Paris office

that's more familiar with the region.

Wes is the Special Agent in Charge.

Well, here's my question.

These guys look pretty young to me,

and I'm looking for something very specific

with this detail.

This is a father-daughter situation,

and so I think what I'm looking for

in terms of protection

would best be characterized as, well, overwhelming force.

Do they have that?

Do they have the ability

to just overwhelm any danger that might...?

Do you have overwh...?

Do they have overwhelming force?

Attack, Randy.

Wow.

Oh, God, Dad, what are you doing?

This one here tossed Wesley like a bag of potato chips.

Molly, get off of Wesley.

You like calling on me for that one, don't you?

Yep.

You guys know each other?

Molly was on Ellie's detail for a while.

PRESIDENT: Oh, good. Okay.

Well, Ellie's still up and running.

Hi, Wes. Sorry about this.

We're going to be just fine.

It's wide-perimeter protection.

I'm just going to need you

to show me your panic button every day.

When do you start?

1800, sir. 6:00 p.m. tonight.

Are you going back to the campus?

Yeah.

Okay, well, let me ask you this.

Would you consider

instead of living in France

with your boyfriend for three months,

staying here,

living in your room,

and being a candy striper, or surfing?

A candy striper?

Or surfing?

You could spend the summer working in a pet shop.

We could play Yahtzee, and watch movies at night.

Dad, what fantasy is it

that's going through your head right now?

What daughters would do their whole lives

if I had my way.

I'll see you later.

Before I forget, if something comes up

and you're faced with the choice of killing the boyfriend

or not killing the boyfriend,

kill the boyfriend.

Excuse me, sir. Excuse me.

Thank you, Mr. President.

How are you doing, Wes?

Well, Mr. Chairman, thank you.

FITZWALLACE: You take care of that new detail now.

They got some mimes over there

that can be pretty nasty.

Yes, sir.

Harbor Patrol in Portland is reporting that the Agile,

a cargo ship in port for 14 hours now,

has a container missing.

They're supposed to have 46.

They have 45.

What's the registry?

They're flying a Nigerian flag,

but it's Syrian ownership.

What are we doing on the ground?

The FBI's hunting down everyone who was on the ship.

How long have they been at it?

One hour.

Alright,

let's give 'em another hour.

Then have the Coast Guard close the port.

Is it the Port of Portland?

Is it really the Port of Portland?

Yeah.

They're going to lose $700 million a day

'cause these five guys are missing.

And I just now got why we're having this meeting.

LEO: What do you mean?

Portland. Torrential rain in the Pacific Northwest.

Yeah.

Screw the hour.

Let's close it down.

Yes, sir. Thanks.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Hey...

did you know that ten days from now

Toby and Andy can pick a day and the doctor's going to induce.

They can decide what day

the twins are going to be born.

Well, it's about the last thing they're going to get to decide.

So you choose Tuesday.

20 years later, look what happens.

( shrieks )

( screams )

You scared me!

I was sleeping.

What are you doing in here?

Hang on a second. I'm not sure.

Carol!

Sorry. Yes, Danny's here.

Sorry.

Can I help you?

I'm a little groggy.

It's from when you wake up

after you've just fallen.

You know, it's one of those that really takes you

a good long while to snap out of.

Can I help you?!

You are.

I just flew back from Boston.

Not Boston. Augsburg, Germany.

I just flew back from Augsburg, Germany.

Danny, you want to go home for a while

and then talk to me?

No. This, uh, this is important to you.

I've been on trains and planes...

What?

I have a link between the U.S. Government

and Abdul Shareef's plane

and it's enough and we're going to print it,

so I'm here to ask the White House

if they'd like to comment.

We'll comment as soon as you show me the link.

I have a link. It's the pilot. It's Jamil Bari.

You've been saying that from the beginning.

I've got it now.

Well, show it to me

and I'll comment on it.

We don't need a White House comment to run it.

Well, you're not going to run it like this.

There are national security issues involved.

My paper's not going to hold off on it

unless there are lives in immediate danger.

There are.

Show me.

Classified security information?

I don't think I'm allowed to do that.

Then what do we do?

Don't run it. Not this weekend.

I'm not lying to you about security concerns.

Except you've been faffing me around for months.

Of course, I have.

I'm going to give you a couple of hours

to sit down with Leo and figure out

what you can tell me to convince me

I shouldn't print what I have.

Otherwise, comment on it or don't comment on it,

but it's the lead

in tomorrow's paper.

And by the way, that's the brand of courtesy

you have never extended me.

I extend you courtesy all the time.

When?

You just slept on my couch.

Oh, right.

Alright, you'll give me a couple of hours.

You know, I got it.

So off the record, did we kill Shareef?

Alright. Careful stepping out.

There's a street right there.

And there you go.

If someone see us,

they're going to call the police.

Well... ( chuckles )

I hadn't actually factored that into the plan,

but if you'll just come on over here.

And...

there you go.

Go ahead.

You brought me to Jefferson Wyler's house.

Yeah. Why?

Every time we drive past

you say that it's your dream house.

It is.

And every time the Congressman's had us over,

you've said it was your dream house.

I wasn't lying.

You told Jeff Wyler that if he ever put it on the market,

you wanted to buy it. I do.

Well, as it turns out,

he was going to put it on the market,

but he's not anymore 'cause I bought it.

You bought this house?

Yeah.

You bought this house?

Yeah, I did.

How did you afford it?

Well, I put together some money for the down payment

by selling my soul.

This is your house now?

Well, as a matter of fact, it'll...

( clattering )

...it'll be your house

if... ( clears throat )

if... if you say yes to this.

Um...

will you marry me?

Oh, Toby, you gotta tell me you didn't buy the house to...

No, no. I mean...

I thought you were just moving out of the apartment

and wanted a...

If we could get back to the original question.

Can you get the down payment back?

( snorts )

You're saying no?

Yeah, Toby.

I said no many times.

I mean, this... is an incredible gesture, but...

I don't think you've noticed the things I've done

to alter the behavior that's troubled you in the past.

Giving up what you felt was a bachelor apartment

is only the most recent of gestures

which included eating salads.

I have no problem with where we've lived

or what you ate.

I do, but I don't care that much.

Then why aren't you remarrying me?

You don't really want to talk about this, do you?

Yeah, I do.

I thought you were just being cute.

I just thought you were making me chase you

as a punishment for the first marriage

and that was okay with me.

I wasn't being cute, no.

Why?

You're just too sad for me, Toby.

What?

You're too sad for me.

You're just sad.

You bring the sadness home with you

and you're sad.

I'm not sad.

You are.

I don't know if anything can change that,

but I can't.

I'm not sad.

I take things seriously.

I take things seriously, too.

I'm not comparing myself to anyone. I'm saying...

You're sad and you're angry and you're not warm.

You take forever to trust someone.

Well...

My father used to kill people for a living,

so, generationally,

the Zieglers are making lots of progress.

I wouldn't worry about the kids.

I do worry about the kids.

Don't.

Because instead of showing them

that the world is for them,

you're going to be telling them

that they have to work hard in school

so they can bone up

for a life of hopelessness and despair.

Wouldn't it be ironic if our kids

were the only ones who were properly prepared?

Toby, I'm as serious a person as you are,

and I'm able to see the glass as half full.

Great! Half full, half empty?

Can we at least agree it's not full yet?

Well, this is what I'm talking about.

That was a joke! You indicated

that you wanted to talk about this seriously.

Did you feel this way when we were married?

Come on. I...

I mean, it's not just now?

Come on. I'm... I'm sorry about all that.

I'm really pregnant.

Please, I take it all back.

Really?

Hmm.

Did you feel this way when we were married?

That I was sad?

No.

I'm going to go sit in the car.

My ankles are starting to...

Did my friends feel like that?

Toby!

My water broke.

Okay.

Okay.

It's terrific so far.

Later, he quotes Cicero, Thomas Aquinas

and Rudy Vallee in the space of two pages.

How does he connect them?

Three people you've never heard of.

It's about creativity?

Well, he decided that's what he wanted to talk about.

Now the trick is, he's got to not change his mind.

Good! You're here! I want to make some changes.

Jed... Look at you!

There is no way you have three adult children.

You like the suit. I do,

but the neck... What?

Eh, it seems empty to me.

Attention should be drawn to it.

Oh... Nice job

with the, you know, raising of the kid.

They're beautiful!

They're real, too. They can cut glass.

That's diamonds that can cut glass.

Aw, damn it, what are these, then?

Excuse me, you say you wanted to make some changes?

Yeah. Get in the car. We'll do it on the fly.

Sir... Get in the car.

What kind of changes did you have in mind, sir?

Small ones-- instead of talking about the internal muse,

I want to talk about the limits of reason,

and about passion and intuition in American life.

These are just gorgeous.

You can eat them, too. They're gumballs.

Coop? Shoot One, we're gonna go.

Uh, the limits of reason

and passion and intuition in American life.

Yes. Let's think.

Here is the pen.

Look... I've gift-wrapped the pen.

It's a good pen.

You're giving Zoey a pen.

It's not just a pen.

Does it do other things?

No. I meant it's a really good pen.

He's meeting us in the upper press room.

He said his link was the pilot?

Yeah. You know what he has?

Well, Shareef's pilot, who died in the crash,

was Jamil Bari, who had a Qumari passport

and is alive and American, and not named Jamil Bari,

so he could have any number of things.

Man, the things we can do.

Yeah.

You're giving Zoey a pen?

Yeah.

Does it do anything?

Danny, C.J.'s going to talk to you for a second,

and then you and I are going to work together.

Danny? He's asleep.

What are you talking about?

He was in Augsburg. He hasn't slept yet.

LEO: So here's the national security threat.

Wake up! I heard every word you said.

My covert skills are honed.

Good for you. Follow me.

We're at Threat Condition Bravo right now.

Why? Why?

'Cause five Bahji sleepers we were watching disappeared.

They disappeared?

Yeah. And it coincides with increased chatter we're hearing.

You print we did this right now,

and I'm worried what the five guys are going to do.

Three days.

And I get an exclusive on the sleepers.

Done. Thank you.

So you found the pilot? Specials Ops in Florida.

He had an American passport when he went to flight school.

In Augsburg. Yeah.

The things we can do.

Donna, I was just coming to see you.

I love what you're wearing.

You, too!

I wasn't able to talk to Josh yet about the Wellingtons.

Yeah, you don't need to.

They're off the list again.

That's why I was coming.

Okay, then. One less thing.

Josh was offended 'cause I called the list a windfall, wasn't he?

I'm sure he's not.

I meant the list of candidates was good.

I didn't mean-- aye, yi, yi.

Why does he take these things this seriously?

If it bothered him, he's forgotten it by now.

Like the car that was supposed to be here.

Well, come in mine.

Andrea... what are you doing to me?

We got schedules. We got bookkeepers.

What happened?

Nothing happened. You're having a baby.

Two of 'em, as a matter of fact.

But it was supposed to be ten days.

Yeah, well, what do you know?

Well, when am I going into labor?

When are you going in...?

Andy,

your water broke.

You're having the babies now.

Now, this isn't going to happen

the way we talked about, but it is going to happen,

and it's going to happen right now.

You're at ten centimeters.

Their heads are down,

so there's no reason to do a C-section.

Oh, hey, Toby.

I'm sorry. I didn't even see you there.

Is she going to be able to get the epidural?

No, we're going to tough it out.

( moans quietly )

And when you say

"right now," what do you mean?

Well, you're going to see

at least one of your kids in about 15 minutes.

( gasping )

Toby...

( gasping )

I can't believe...

If I would've known this was going

to happen today, I never would've...

No, don't.

What... what are you talking about?

D-Don't worry about it.

No. I know I hurt you back at the house.

I can't believe you bought the house, and I...

( cries and sniffles )

( groaning )

( gasping )

Bite my hand when it hurts.

( gasping )

PRESIDENT: What do you think about using

the Eudora Welty quote instead of the Gandhi?

WILL: Well, I think they both work,

but since I wouldn't make any more changes,

I'd stay with the Gand...

"You must be the change," is that it?

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

Sounds too much like Eastern philosophy.

Well, it was bound to, sir.

'Cause Gandhi lived in India?

Yeah. Sir, this speech is about creativity

and in my judgment, it's a home run.

Now, what it isn't is a speech

that will convince Zoey not to go to France tomorrow.

Well, let's write that one.

WOMAN: Mr. President?

Yeah.

Are you ready, Mr. President?

Yeah.

Thanks, Will, for the help.

Use the Eudora Welty. It's better.

Thank you!

ANNOUNCER: And now, ladies and gentlemen,

the President of the United States, Josiah Barlet,

accompanied by the President of Georgetown University.

( applause )

( "Pomp and Circumstance" playing )

I understand you're not using the Teleprompter.

Yeah, no.

I've got it down here in this folder,

and on some napkins in my pockets.

Okay. Listen, are you going to be alright with that?

Oh, yeah, I'll be fine.

You know, unless something comes up.

Uh, like what?

Well, for instance, I just realized

I don't have access to my pockets anymore.

But, you know, what are you going to do?

( applause continues )

( "Pomp and Circumstance" continues playing )

DONNA: You're here late.

I can't believe you're here.

I was going to leave a note on your desk.

I had a thing canceled, so I'm catching up.

I just wanted to let you know,

the Wellingtons-- back on.

For APEC?

Yeah.

Ugh. It's going to be a problem.

I know, but Human Rights Watch, Amnesty--

we need their help three times a week.

Is there a side meeting they could play a role in?

There might be. That's a good idea.

You got a few minutes to work with me?

Yeah.

Charlie?

Yeah.

I need you to tell me now

that you have some sense of where we're going

and that we're not, you know...

spending the night here.

That we're not making camp.

You were the one who said dig up the champagne

and give it to her tonight.

Yeah, but didn't I almost immediately take it back?

No, I liked it. It was a good idea.

Send her off knowing we're cool.

You sure? No.

It's pretty dark. Ooh!

( water splashing )

Yeah, we're in a brook now.

Good. I think it was near a brook.

It's like I'm in 'Nam, basically.

I'm in a rice paddy.

Yeah, you'd have done well there.

MAN: Someone there?

Hello?

Yeah, I'm a Federal officer.

Is someone there?

Jamie? Charlie?

What are you doing here?

P-3, Charlie Young's coming.

You're kidding me.

Josh Lyman. I'm with him.

I'm going to stay here, though,

'cause, you know...

You're late.

You're here.

It's 10:07.

I've been here for seven minutes.

Well, you drove in a sedan.

I had to climb over the wall.

Shouldn't you have allowed for that?

I didn't think you were going to be here.

Well, why'd you come?

I was going to dig up the bottle

and give it to you as a graduation present.

Why'd you come?

Oh. To drink it.

Oh.

I'm kidding.

I came 'cause I thought you might, too.

Though I have been drinking it.

You know there are people at a party

that a radio station's throwing.

At that techno place

that looks like the end of the world.

I think they went

'cause you said you'd be winding up there.

I didn't come 'cause I thought you'd be here.

I wasn't trying to...

You don't want to have champagne with me?

No, no. I do.

I do, I just thought if I should call people

and tell 'em...

You're such a good guy.

You were raised in horror.

What is it along the way that made you a good guy?

I try to eat right.

You know what's funny is,

when I first saw the note, I...

We shouldn't do that.

I know.

What's going on?

( laughs ): Nothing.

Come on.

Don't ask me that now.

I am asking you.

Nothing.

Just, you know, a lot of things.

Dumb stuff.

Jean Paul wants me to take a hit of ecstasy

with him tonight.

Okay, but your kids are going to have gills.

( laughs )

I don't care about that.

I'm, honestly-- I'm-I'm worried a little

about my father.

My leaving for three months

isn't exactly going to do him any favors.

( sighs )

And I'm confused about you.

Well, I can't advise you on that.

Why not?

Because I think this is tonight,

and tomorrow you're on the Concorde.

I deserved that.

You think we could just sit here...

and enjoy the night for a while?

Actually, I...

I think it's a bad time in a person's life

to stop showing up at... at places

they say they're going to show up.

I should go to the party.

Yeah.

NANCY: Well, the FBI has got the crew

of the container ship accounted for.

What are the rules

in questioning foreign nationals?

I think we can keep them for up to seven days,

isolation, well-lit room.

What's the well-lit room for?

Sleep deprivation.

Alright.

Let's go around the table one last time.

Where are we with this?

What kind of day has it been?

( techno music playing )

Alright, she's clear.

Hi.

Now is it my turn?

Hi, sorry I'm late.

Yes, where were you? You've been missed.

I was at the National Arboretum, if you can believe that.

As long as you're here now.

Can we talk for a minute?

Of course.

Alright, station.

I'm on the front door.

Okay.

Molly?

Yes, sir.

I've got 183 cars.

You counted the cars?

Yes, sir.

Okay.

DONNA: There's a side meeting, closed to the press,

on agricultural concentration.

AMY: I was thinking more in the...

human rights family.

Mm, a group session on displaced workers.

What about prison labor?

No, but labor law enforcement,

a joint DOL/USTR session.

Mmm... sold.

There it is.

I'm not going to get an answer

about what I said to Josh, am I?

It's just eating at me.

I don't know why.

'Cause it's eating at him,

and I don't know why.

Really?

C.J.: Danny? DANNY: Yeah.

What are you doing here? Why aren't you asleep?

I really don't know.

Well, what are you writing?

A volume of springtime haiku.

Three days, Daniel.

I'm filing in three days, I still got to write it.

The President's speech was good this afternoon, didn't you think?

You want to comment on a wire report that says

the President lifted his gown and groped himself

during the invocation?

Yeah, that was a troubling moment,

but he had to get his napkins.

Alright, then do you want to comment

on a gulf stream jet flown by...? Madras research project.

That's what we'll call it for a few days.

( slow, pulsing music plays )

* You are my angel

* Come from way above...

JEAN PAUL: Well, three months is a long time.

Maybe you just come for a few weeks,

we go to some parties, and then you decide.

Maybe...

but then I guess the whole point was to...

was to check out...

Going just for parties just doesn't seem...

The parties are at night.

You can't check out during the day?

I'm sorry. We're having this conversation,

and I'm just feeling a little lightheaded.

I had champagne before, and now I'm mixing it with this.

Well, lightheaded is good.

It's better than the opposite.

I understand why Josh may have been offended by what I said,

even though it was misinterpreted.

What I don't understand

is that both times we've spoken about it,

it seemed like you were, too.

No, I understood what you were saying.

Josh worked for Hoynes for a long time.

There was a reason.

He left him.

And if you think that was easy, you're crazy.

Josh doesn't leave people.

I get that he was close to Hoynes.

What I don't get...

You have to get Josh.

JOSH: We scaled the wall, we didn't hop it.

It was like 30 feet tall. It was like a castle gate.

We took it.

Buzzards, wilderness life everywhere.

Someone give me a SitRep please, anyone.

I don't want to lie to you, but I... I don't want to...

I'm sorry, I meant...

I don't want to hurt you,

but I shouldn't lie to you either.

Yes.

( sighs ): I...

I feel very strange.

You're drunk.

Enjoy it.

His sister died in a fire while she was baby-sitting him.

She tried to put it out, he ran outside.

He went off campaigning, his father died.

He wakes up in a hospital and discovers

the President's been shot.

He goes through every day worried

that somebody he likes is going to die,

and it's going to be his fault.

What do you think makes him walk so fast?

Anyway, when you looked at the list of replacements

and said, "That's a windfall," what he heard was

"Thank you, Josh, you did it again.

More for us."

You said you have to get Josh.

Yeah.

That was...

I didn't mean to say that you don't...

get him.

You in love with Josh?

Did... you put ecstasy in my drink?

I put...

a little bit.

I put a half.

( chuckling ): Wow.

I kind of wish you hadn't done that.

You're not sick.

This is how you're supposed to be feeling.

Listen to the music.

Yeah, I'm okay.

I'm going to go to the restroom and put some water on my face.

DANNY: I'm going to need the following

five questions answered to start with.

You want to write these down?

I don't want to write anything down right now.

Was Madras research retaliatory or preemptive?

Were any allies in the Arab world,

or Israel for that matter,

notified either before or after?

How involved were Congressional leaders,

and how involved will they be in the next few days?

I don't know, but the answer

to the last two questions will be the same.

Especially in the absence of executive orders rendering them legal...

There was an NSC decision directive.

Does this create a precedent

for future Madras research projects?

That was four. What's the fifth?

Does the President or his national security advisers

fear attempts at retribution?

It's true that you adapt to the terrain.

Of course after a little while

I just said the hell with it, took my pants off.

Uh, Randy, does it look like she's thinking about leaving?

Well, she's still in the restroom.

No, she's not, I got her right here.

RANDY: You have her?

No, check that, I'm wrong.

Oh, come on, people,

let's get past the first day kinks.

I think she's still in the restroom.

Okay, I want a 20 on Bookbag right now.

I'll go into the restroom.

No, no, keep your distance.

Let her get pissed at me.

Excuse me.

I'm with the Secret Service.

Do you work here?

Yeah. Something wrong?

No, no. Would you mind going

into the ladies' room for me, please,

and checking to see if anyone's in there.

Yeah. Thank you.

P2, Molly, did she come out back?

Are there people back there?

No.

P2, Molly, did she come out back?

Are there people out there?

Molly, are you reading this?

Molly?

This is the fire alley?

Yeah.

P2, Molly, what's your position?

Bookbag's been taken.

She's been taken, and I have an agent down.

We're black. Go to black.

FBI field office has all 98 members of the Agile crew

at Sheridan Federal Prison for interrogation.

( chuckles )

It's not funny.

Apparently the captain is scared to death.

His manifest only says 45 containers.

He swears it's a typo.

Well, if it turns out we closed the Port of Portland

because of a typo,

it's only going to fuel Margaret's insanity.

I'm going to go home for a few hours.

Call me if something happens.

Ron?

We have a situation.

We're up at black, and procedurally,

the Chief of Staff is told before... What happened?

Zoey Bartlet is missing,

and there's a dead agent at the scene.
