Previously on The West Wing:

When did you decide you were
going to run for a second term?

I didn't make the
decision to run again.

We had a deal.

Andrew Jackson had

a big block of cheese.

It's "Throw Open Our
Office Doors To People

"Who Want To Discuss Things

That We Could Care
Less About" Day.

What day is this?

It's Friday.

♪ In a New York minute... ♪

I'm sorry. I meant... I'm
sorry. What time is it?

You sleep here last night?

I'm sorry?

You slept here?

I don't have a
couch in my office.

Yeah, but you have a
bed in your house, right?

I need to change my shirt.

Maybe you need to
go home for a while.

What are you
doing here so early?

Trying to avoid the protesters.

Metro Police closed a four-block
radius around the World Bank

and made Pennsylvania
Avenue one way from M to 21st.

17th and 15th are closed
to Independence Avenue

and Constitution's closed
between 23rd and the Ellipse.

Did you take Dupont?

Dupont had two turns closed off

with metal barricades
and cop cars.

So I took P to Logan Circle,
which was also blocked.

So I made a U-turn
and doubled back

to get on 16th where
there was a police cordon

around the National
Geographic Society.

Who has a problem with the
National Geographic Society?

That's exactly
what I want to know.

Anyway, I'm going
to change my shirt.

What's going on with the
pardon recommendations?

They're coming together.

I've reviewed the
recommendations

from Justice and the OPA

and Tribbey's office had
its own recommendations.

How many are you sending in?

18, I think now.

Mail fraud, securities fraud

and truly the most bogus
drug bust I've ever seen.

Don't retry the cases.

I'm not retrying the cases.

I'm reading the material
I'm supposed to read.

I'm making the recommendations
I'm supposed to make.

The guy was tried in Spain
and found guilty of a crime

he was obviously
too stupid to commit.

Sam, go home, would you?

No, I'm just going
to change my shirt.

You look bad.

You're tired, you
slept in the office.

It's Friday... go home.

Why?

'Cause I think you're
putting too much faith

in the magical
powers of a new shirt.

Leo.

Josh told me what happened...

with your parents.

Sam...

Yeah?

My father had affairs.

Did he?

Yeah.

My father didn't pick up
a cocktail waitress, Leo.

He's had a woman in an
apartment in Santa Monica...

Yeah?

For 28 years.

How'd he get caught?

My father, it turns out

is stupider than
the guy in Spain.

So, the real question is: How
did he not get caught until now?

Yeah.

Anyway, I'll see you at
the staff meeting later.

Sam.

Yeah.

When did you find out?

Tuesday.

You slept here the
last three nights?

No.

Seriously, man, go home.

No, I'm going to
check the final OPA list.

In fact, I'll be
checking it twice...

See who's been naughty,
see who's been nice.

Sam.

Life goes on, Leo.

Certainly the Federal
Government does, so...

thanks, but let's drop it, okay?

Yeah.

They're expecting trouble at
the National Geographic Society?

I have no explanation.

Well, those little
postcards they stick

in the subscription magazines

drive me out of my
mind, so maybe...

Yeah.

I'll see you later.

Hey, Sam.

This is Ginger. It's 6:35.

I've opened the
Communications Office.

Captioning sponsored
by WARNER BROS.

It's a good speech.

The Andrew Jackson speech.

Yeah. It is a good speech.

And it gets better
every year, but...

What?

You're not going
to give it, right?

Sure. Why?

Because it's Big Block
of Cheese Day, Josh.

Yeah, see, but we know
it's Big Block of Cheese Day

and we know why it's called
Big Block of Cheese Day,

so, there's really no
need for the speech.

Except it wouldn't be
Big Block of Cheese Day

without the speech,
now would it?

Well, let's find out.
Maybe it would.

How'd you get to
work this morning?

I walked.

Ah. Yeah.

How is it out there?

Uh, it's pretty loud.

World Policy Studies is
holding a forum this morning.

I'm going to send Toby.

That's a good idea.

Why?

Well, 'cause you're
not sending me.

Look, I...

Leo, the World Bank and the WTO

are international organizations

of which the U.S. is one member.

Why isn't Switzerland the one?

'Cause they're not
protesting in Switzerland...

They're protesting on 18th
Street, and I don't want to be asked

how come no one from the
White House ever met with them.

Well, that seems reasonable.

I can't tell you
how relieved I am

to have your approval on that.

But you're still going
to do the speech.

Got to. Yeah.

A little thing called
team morale, Josh.

You got to make people
feel good about themselves.

All right, shut the
hell up, everybody.

I've fired more people
than you before breakfast.

Andrew Jackson, in the
main foyer of the White House,

had a big block of cheese.

The block of cheese was huge...

Leo, who made these assignments?

I think this'll go faster

if I'm not interrupted,
don't you?

I'm meeting with
the Organization

of Cartographers
for Social Equality?

Yes.

What do mapmakers have
to do with social equality?

I guess you're
about to find out.

Well, probably not,

'cause I won't really
be listening to them.

The block of cheese was huge...

Excuse me, Leo. C.J., I
got NIH research funding

for cancer treatment
using shark cartilage

if you want to trade.

I'll take that. What do you got?

Citizens for D.C.
Statehood. Forget it.

I've got the Kemp's
Ridley Sea Turtle Society

but I'm keeping it.

You're all keeping it.

I'm sure Margaret worked
long and hard to make sure

that the appropriate petitioner
went to the appropriate staffer.

The block of cheese was two tons

and was there for any and
all who might be hungry...

Excuse me.

I was waylaid.

By what?

30,000 tourists.

You know, the protesters.

Don't call them protesters.

I've seen better organized
crowds at the DMV.

Two tons, this block
of cheese weighed.

In my day, we
knew how to protest.

What day was that?

1968.

How the hell old were you

when you were protesting?

My sisters took me.

Anybody have a
problem with that?

No one has a problem with that.

The police are always
seven steps ahead of them.

The cops know exactly
where they're going to be

and what's going to happen.

You know how they know?
By logging onto their web site.

We had the underground,
we had rapid response.

And by God, you were home
by supper on a school night.

These people are amateurs.

What's my assignment?

Meeting with the amateurs.

Huh?

World Policy Studies
is having a forum...

There'll be about
a hundred of them.

Doing what?

Listening to you conduct

a free exchange of ideas.

Really?

Josh thinks it's a good idea.

Oh, well, if Josh
thinks it's a good idea

then, you bet, I'll do it.

Look... What else is there?

I've got Cartographers
for Social Equality.

So, now you have two choices...

Meeting with an unruly mob

or meeting with
lunatic mapmakers.

Or getting paid a lot more money

working almost
anywhere else I want.

Seriously, Toby,
there'll be security there.

But still...

What about press? Just wires.

No, I mean TV.

No cameras.

You negotiated that?

Yeah.

They agreed to it?

You want to make out with
me right now, don't you?

Well, when don't I?

Give me the thing.

Okay, then.

Andrew Jackson in the
main foyer of the White House

had a two-ton block of cheese.

And a Wheat Thin
the size of Lake Tahoe.

It was there for any
and all who were hungry.

It was there for
the voiceless...

Stephanie.

Hi.

You look great.

Thank you.

Why are you talking like that?

I don't want to shout.

We can use our normal
voices, though, right?

Never been in the White House.

If you wait till later
tonight, I'll give you a tour.

Did I get you out of something?

No, I meant we're not allowed
to give tours until after 10:00

when the President's
out of the west wing.

Oh.

Come with me.

The President works until 10:00?

He usually works
until after that,

but he leaves the Oval at 10:00.

We'll go in Josh's office.

Donna, I am getting you out
of something, though, right?

Nothing. You got me out of

The Big Block of
Cheese Day meeting.

What's...

I had the worst feeling
you were going to ask.

Andrew Jackson,
while he was president,

had in the main foyer
of the White House...

I can't believe I'm
giving this speech...

A two-ton block of cheese.

In that spirit, Leo McGarry
designates one day

for certain senior staff
members to take appointments

with people or groups
that wouldn't ordinarily

be able to get the ear
of the White House.

Sounds amazing.

We make a lot of fun of it,

but truth is, I think it is.

Um, I'm sorry to, uh...

Oh, yeah.

Were you able to mention
me to Sam Seaborn?

I wasn't.

I haven't yet, and I apologize.

No, that's okay.

Sam's just... it's been
a bad week for Sam.

It's just that from
everything I've been told

the President listens
to Sam Seaborn

when it comes to...

Yeah.

I should have said
this on the phone.

I'm not that comfortable...

That's...

It puts him in an
awkward position

if he has to say no,
and something like this

if it seems like a favor...

Steph, is your dad dying?

Okay, listen.

When we're in with Sam,

mention what you
just said before

that from everything
you've heard, he's the man.

He'll want to impress you

and show you that he's
got access to the President.

Wait a minute.

You're really getting
me in to see him?

It's really all right?

Yeah, it's Big Block
of Cheese day.

It's me.

I need some time with Sam.

I don't really need to
see the ten-year numbers.

We think it'd be a good idea

to take a look at them, sir.

Have the ten-year projections

ever been close to accurate?

Depends on what
you mean by "close."

Within a trillion dollars?

No, sir, but we'd like you to
take a look at them anyway.

Okay. Bring me the
ten-year projections

a Ouija board and a magic wand.

Yes, sir. Thank
you, Mr. President.

What's next?

Sir, I need just a moment

to discuss a fax that's come in.

From whom? Jonathan Bartlet.

That name sounds familiar.

He's your brother.

Yes. I remember being
locked in a steamer trunk.

That doesn't sound so bad.

There were

actual steamers in
there with me, Charlie.

I was in there with seafood.

Okay. Well, here's
the thing, Mr. President:

We lost the site.

You lost the first choice.

Why?

Your brother's been
speaking with Neda Wallin

counsel to the Bartlet
Presidential Library Commission

and apparently the site violates

the Historic Barn and
Bridges Preservation Act.

Which says...?

I've got it here in my notes.

"Requires that all nonhousing
farm and ranch structures

"built prior to 1900 be
preserved by the owners

unless destroyed
by an act of God."

What plaid flannel-wearing

cheese-eating yahoo
of a milkman governor

signed that idiot
bill into state law?

It was me, wasn't it?

Yes, sir.

Okay.

They'd like a green light to
go ahead with the second site.

Yeah, go ahead.

Thank you, sir.

No.

I'm sorry?

No, don't go
ahead with the site.

I just...

Tell my brother to
hang on, would you?

I'll make a decision.

I don't know what
the damn hurry is.

Yes, sir.

Bonnie, I now need the
ten-year OMB projections as well.

Are those ever accurate?

No.

And you got another call.

Thanks.

Sam?

Oh, hey. How you doing?

Sam, this is Stephanie Gault.

Stephanie, this is Sam.

It's good to meet you.

Come on in.

Stephanie and I were
at Wisconsin together

and we bonded as a
result of mutual loathing

for the same ex-boyfriend.

She's an associate professor
of International Relations

at the Maxwell School.

What are you doing in town?

Believe it or not,
I advise the WTO

in certain areas of
macroeconomics,

so a global monetary
crisis can't be very far off.

What can I do for you?

Sam, my grandfather
was Daniel Gault.

Really?

Yeah.

You know who Daniel Gault was?

He was a staffer
here in the '40s.

He was a Special
Economic Assistant to FDR

and Special Liaison to State
for Eastern European Affairs.

Donna knows the rest.

He was jailed for espionage

and died in prison
six months later.

He wasn't put in
jail for espionage.

They couldn't make espionage.

He was put in jail for perjury
for lying in front of HUAC.

Sam, Stephanie would
like her grandfather included

among those being considered
for an executive pardon.

And from everything
I've learned,

you're the only person
to speak to about this.

That you have the
ear of the President.

Yeah.

It's impossible to
demonstrate remorse

since he's no longer alive.

Demonstrating his innocence
is extremely complicated.

Yes, but you've already done it.

Excuse me?

You've already
demonstrated his innocence

and in an extraordinarily
compelling way.

You've also spoken eloquently
on the need for his pardon.

When did I do that?

At Princeton,

for 23 pages in the
middle of your thesis.

Where did you get that?

You sent it to my father.

I did.

I know it doesn't seem like

there should be much of a rush

about getting a pardon

for someone who's
been dead 50 years,

but time's become a factor.

Your father's sick?

Yeah.

You guys want to go to the mess

and get some
coffee or something?

Yeah.

Global justice now!

Global justice now!

Global justice now!

Toby Ziegler.

Yeah.

Rhonda, this guy
coming in is Toby Ziegler.

Copy that.

Mr. Ziegler?

Yes, ma'am.

Rhonda Sachs.

They asked me to make
sure you go home in one piece.

You fully trained? Yes.

How many different ways do
you know how to kill a man?

How many different
ways do I need? I like you.

Thank you.

Officer Sachs? Yeah?

It's going to be a
day at the beach.

You do understand how it works?

Yeah.

Recommendations
come from the OPA...

Office of the Pardon Attorney.

Then the president gets
into it, and more often than not

sends it to Counsel's
office for a further review.

So, it can be a bit of
a drawn-out process.

Yeah.

What I'm going to do today

is speak to somebody
at the Justice Department.

Which branch of the
Justice Department?

The FBI.

Sam... I know,

but I won't start in
on something like this

without giving them a heads-up.

My father requested the file

in the late '70s and was denied.

He sued under
Freedom of Information

and the judge ruled

that the file couldn't
be completely disclosed

because it met three of
nine exemptions allowed...

National Defense

and Foreign
Relations Information

Internal Agency Rules and
Practices and Personal Privacy.

All of which is because the
FBI is simply embarrassed

about this period
in their history.

I know, and that's why I
have to give them a heads-up.

Does Donna know how to
get in touch with you later?

I'd like to tell you
how it's going.

We have your number
at the hotel? Yeah.

Actually, we're meeting
for dinner tonight.

Stephanie, the reason
I mentioned before

that it could be a
drawn-out process...

I understand.

I just need to be able

to give him some good news.

He's a s-sweet man
in a bow tie, Sam.

His father...

He's been trying

for so long to...

Yeah.

Okay, I'll see you later then.

Hey, Steph. Hey, Josh.

You're across the
street in five minutes.

Yeah. I'm walking out with you.

Sam?

Thank you.

Yeah.

You on the Gault thing?

Yeah.

That's nice of you.

I appreciate that.

Yeah. I'll give the
Bureau a heads-up.

They're not going
to be happy about it.

No kidding.

Did you know Lincoln
signed a pardon

on the day he was assassinated?

Yeah. Do you know
the guy's name?

Patrick Murphy.

You know what he
was pardoned for?

Being a Union deserter.

Am I annoying you?

A little bit, yeah.

I was trying to make you laugh.

I appreciate that.

Can I see your
friend at the FBI?

Yeah. Can I tell him why? Yeah.

Hey, you want to
have a lot of fun?

Seriously. Sit in
on C.J.'s meeting

with the Organization of
Cartographers for Social Equality.

Where's the social
inequality in cartography?

I don't know. That's
why I'm going.

You'll call the guy?

Yeah. Thanks.

That a new shirt?

Yeah.

Nice.

Free Trade!

Fire your gun.

I can't fire a
warning shot indoors.

No, I mean fire at them.

Just kidding.

Hey, Solzhenitsyn.

Come here.

You the group leader?

Yeah, I am. I'm Terry Webber.

You know what you did
today that was really stupid?

You gave away the cameras.

With cameras in
here, I've got a problem

because I don't
want to look like

I can't control the crowd.

Without the cameras,
I can sit here,

read the sports
section for two hours,

walk outside and say we talked.

So, you guys want
to talk, that's fine,

but you're in charge
of crowd control,

know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Folks.

People, let's listen up.

Good morning, my...

Good morning, my
name is Toby Ziegler,

and I'm the White House
Communications Director

and a Senior Domestic
Policy Advisor to the President.

Advise him we need clean
air more than free trade!

How many 12 year olds
made your shoes, Toby?

Global justice now!
Global justice now!

Global justice now!

Global justice now!

You want to send out
for pizza or something?

Global justice now!

Global justice now!

Yes, sir?

I'm here to see
Special Agent Casper.

My name is Sam Seaborn.

Seaborn?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, I'm not
seeing your name here.

Agent Casper
knows you're coming?

Sam.

How you doing, Mike?

Just requesting the
file on Daniel Gault

is so wildly outside the
parameters of your authority

as a political appointee...

I came here to... Listen...

Mike, you guys got it wrong
and you know it. Really?

Yes. What else do I know?

Michael, I gave you the
heads-up as a courtesy.

I don't need your
permission to go to the OPA.

I don't need your permission
to tell the press why I did.

Sam, the guy did six
months for a capital crime.

Now you want to get
him a Presidential pardon?

He did six months for perjury

before vexingly
dying of a heart attack.

You know why?

'Cause the prosecutor
couldn't make espionage.

That's right. Why do
you suppose that was?

I don't suppose, I know.

It was because the
U.S. Attorney blew it.

12 jurors say no
and you're still...

The man was named
by Joe McCarthy as part...

The "20 Years of Treason."

Yes. Which was
called at the time

a "conspiracy on a scale
so immense as to dwarf

any previous venture
in the history of man."

Somebody wake me
up from this 'cause I think

you just deputized Joe
McCarthy into your argument.

My point... You know
who else was on that list?

General George Marshall,
author of the Marshall Plan

and mentor to Eisenhower.

Of course, that was
after he won World War II.

We made more than we missed.

Owen Lattimore, I.F. Stone.

Not everybody at State
was wrongly accused.

You guys rounded up

some pretty dangerous
TV comedy writers, too.

Sam... Ring Lardner just died.

How many years does he get back?

Listen to me.

The Bureau's had moments
in its past that it's not proud of.

I'll bet if we comb through
the fine print of history,

we might be able to find

one or two occupants
of the Oval Office

who could say the same thing.

But the difference is
our failures are public

and our successes are private.

So when we apprehend
an enemy of the State,

like say, a fugitive member
of West Virginia White Pride,

we don't take a curtain call
on Sunday with Sam and Cokie.

When we learned that it
wasn't the Secret Service

who ordered the
canopy down in Rosslyn,

we kept it to ourselves.

Please, God, Mike,

please tell me you weren't
just threatening Toby Ziegler.

I wasn't, Sam.

Good.

Yeah.

Anyway... "Because the
Bureau will be embarrassed"

isn't a good enough reason.

I'm putting Daniel
Gault on the list.

I just wanted to
give you a heads-up.

Anything else?

Nope.

Hi, I'm sorry.

Hello.

I'm sorry to be late.

Not a problem. I'm C.J. Cregg.

Of course you are.

I'm Dr. John Fallow.

This is Dr. Cynthia Sayles

and Professor Donald Huke.

Huke? Huke.

Okay. And you are

the Organization of
Cartographers for Social Equality.

Well, we're from the OCSE,
we have many members.

How many?

4,300 dues paying members.

What are the dues?

$20 a year for the newsletter.

Let's start. Wait.

Wait, I want to see this.

This is Josh Lyman.

Indeed you are.

Josh, this is Dr. Fallow
and his merry men. Hi.

Yes.

Should we begin? Yes.

Plain and simple, we'd
like President Bartlet

to aggressively
support legislation

that would make it mandatory

for every public
school in America

to teach geography

using the Peters Projection Map

instead of the
traditional Mercator.

Give me 200 bucks and it's done.

Really? No.

Why are we changing maps?

Because, C.J., the Mercator
Projection has fostered

European imperialist
attitudes for centuries

and created an ethnic
bias against the Third World.

Really?

The German cartographer,
Mercator, originally designed this map

in 1569 as a navigational
tool for European sailors.

The map enlarges
areas at the poles

to create straight lines
of constant bearing

or geographic direction.

So it makes it easier
to cross an ocean.

But... Yes?

It distorts the relative size
of nations and continents.

Are you saying the map is wrong?

Oh, dear, yes.

Look at Greenland.

Okay.

Now look at Africa.

Okay.

The two land masses appear
to be roughly the same size.

Yes. Would it blow your mind

if I told you that Africa is
in reality 14 times larger?

Yes.

Here we have Europe

drawn considerable
larger than South America

when at 6.9 million square miles

South America is almost double
the size of Europe's 3.8 million.

Alaska appears three
times as large as Mexico

when Mexico is larger
by .1 million square miles.

Germany appears in
the middle of the map

when it's in the northernmost
quarter of the Earth.

Wait. Relative
size is one thing,

but you're telling me that
Germany isn't where we think it is?

Nothing's where you think it is.

Where is it?

I'm glad you asked.

The Peters Projection.

It has fidelity of axis.

Fidelity of position.

East-west lines are
parallel and intersect

north-south axes
at right angles.

What the hell is that?

It's where you've been
living this whole time.

Should we continue?

Uh-huh.

Look, I'm not saying we're
going to like the answers.

I'm saying we're going to
give him a chance to talk.

Now if you do have a question...

Yeah, my question is
who elected his boss...

The people or Kaiser-Permanente?

He's not my
President. Let's vote.

Who do you really work for?

You're having a pretty
good time, aren't you?

Well, it's not like being
at a Yankee game.

You suck!

Well, actually...

yeah, it's like being
at a Yankee game.

So, Toby... Officer.

Since you're not really
doing anything right now,

I was wondering,
what's this all about?

It's about the WTO, Rhonda,
the World Trade Organization.

Well, I get that from the
signs and the newspapers.

The World Trade Organization's

a group of 140 countries

who have agreed to
specific trade policies.

So what's wrong with that?

Nothing's wrong with that.

What would they say if I
asked them the same question?

They'd say the WTO benefits
corporations and not people.

Does it?

Benefits both.

Look at them.

Philistines.

Take my nightstick
and go kick their ass.

Yeah, make all
the jokes you want,

but let me tell you something:

They claim to speak
for the underprivileged,

but here in the
blackest city in America,

I'm looking at a room
with no black faces.

No Asians, no Hispanics.

Where the hell's

the Third World they
claim to represent?

Lot of Third-Worlders in the
Cabinet Room today, were there?

You're starting to bother me.

That's 'cause I'm armed.

No, I like that.

I'm going outside.

Hey, Sam. Hey,
Charlie, what's going on?

The President lost his first
choice of a site for the library.

What happened?

There's an 18th century
farmhouse they can't take down.

They'll find another site.

Yeah, anyway, he's
kind of a in a mood.

They shouldn't be talking to
him now about the library anyway.

We're not going anywhere
for a few years, right?

Well, I think that's
what's got him in a mood.

Sam, you just got a call.

Ginger, do me a favor
and catch the calls.

I'm going to lie down in
Toby's office for a few minutes.

Sam, it was the
National Security Advisor.

Well, he's talking about
force protection, right?

I'm sorry, Colonel, that was me.

He's talking about
force protection?

Right, but the President's
going to ask me

about the readiness issue.

I'm saying he's going to
want to distinguish readiness

and force protection.

No, that was me again.

I'm the only woman
on a conference call.

Delaney can't tell
when it's me talking.

Do I have a bizarrely
androgynous voice?

Excuse me, I'm going to
step off for just a minute.

How you doing?

Good. Good.

Drop Daniel Gault.

Nancy... Drop Daniel
Gault, do it right now.

Why? 'Cause I just told you to.

Nancy, I'm a lawyer.

Let's let reason and
logic have its moment.

There was one witness. Sam...

Earl Lydecker, a low-level
State Department staffer

who confessed to FBI
counterintelligence officers

that he and Gault had conspired

to send U.S. economic
analysis documents

to Soviet agents at
the Russian embassy.

Yes. He confessed, by the
way, for no particular reason.

Yes. It was subsequently
demonstrated that Lydecker

was a clinically diagnosed
manic-depressive

with a history
of... Wait for it...

Institutionalization.

This was the chief
witness for the prosecution.

According to... Sam...

Excuse me, please.

According to retired KGB
Colonel Oleg Prosorov,

a search of the
files in Lubyanka

reveals only one
reference to Gault:

That he was approached in 1943

and labeled "highly
uncooperative"

and a "poor prospect
for recruitment."

Sam, Daniel Gault was a spy.

Oh, my God... He
was a Soviet spy, Sam.

Based on what? Diplomatic cables

intercepted by U.S. Army
Signal Intelligence in the 1940s.

If that was the case,

why couldn't the U.S. Attorney

make espionage in the 1950s?

'Cause the cables weren't
decrypted until the 1970s.

You're telling me

that we cracked some
obscure Russian code

and suddenly we
learned Gault was a spy?

Yes. That's crap.

If the FBI had proof on Gault,

they would have
told the world about it.

No, they wouldn't have, Sam.

Nancy... No, they wouldn't have.

Neither would the NSA, neither
would Central Intelligence.

You don't show someone
you've broken their ciphers

unless you have to.

Gault was long dead.

But before he was,

he was an agent
called "Black Water."

He was a delegate at Yalta.

And he returned to the
U.S. by way of Rostov,

where he was awarded
the Order of Lenin.

Yeah, well, I'll believe that
when they show me the file.

That's not an FBI file.

It's an NSA file.

Nancy, I'm classified,

but I don't have
code word clearance.

I know.

I'm saying I'm not
allowed to see that

and you could get into
trouble for showing it to me.

I could go to jail
for showing it to you,

which obviously
I'm not going to do.

I have blacked out
any lateral reference

that is code word classified.

Those are the only
things I've blacked out

and they are in no way
relevant to your question.

Look at me.

Do you believe me?

Of course.

Go ahead.

This is Dr. Nancy McNally

the National Security Advisor.

But again, that's force
protection and not readiness.

So, you're probably wondering

what all of this has to
do with social equality.

No. I'm wondering
where France really is.

Guys, we want to thank
you very much for coming in...

Hang on.

We're going to
finish this. Okay.

What do maps have to do
with social equality, you ask?

She asked. Salvatore Natoli

of the National Council
for Social Studies argues,

"In our society, we
unconsciously equate size

with importance,
and even power."

I'm going to check in on Toby.

Go.

These guys find Brigadoon on
that map, you'll call me, right?

Probably not. Okay.

When Third World
countries are misrepresented,

they're likely to
be valued less.

When Mercator maps
exaggerate the importance

of Western civilization,

when the top of the map is
given to the northern hemisphere,

and the bottom is
given to the southern...

then people will tend to
adopt top and bottom attitudes.

But... wait.

How...

Where else could you put
the northern hemisphere,

but on the top?

On the bottom.

How?

Like this.

Yeah, but you can't do that.

Why not?

'Cause it's freaking me out.

It's activist
vacation is what it is.

Spring break for
anarchist wannabes.

The black T-shirts, the gas
masks as fashion accessory.

These kids today, with
the hair and the clothes...

All right, that's it, flatfoot.

I got great feet.

You want the
benefits of free trade?

Food is cheaper. Yes.

Food is cheaper,
clothes are cheaper,

steel is cheaper,
cars are cheaper,

phone service is cheaper.

You feel me building
a rhythm here?

It's 'cause I'm a speech writer
and I know how to make a point.

Toby... It lowers prices
and raises income.

You see what I did with
"lowers" and "raises" there? Yes.

It's called the science
of listener attention.

We did repetition, we
did floating opposites

and now you end with the
one that's not like the others.

Ready?

Free trade stops wars.

And that's it.

Free trade stops wars.

And we figure out
a way to fix the rest.

One world, one peace.

I'm sure I've seen that
on a sign somewhere.

God, Toby...

wouldn't it be great if there
were someone around here

with communication skills who
could go in there and tell them that?

Shut up.

Toby...

What are you doing here?

Came down to see
how it was going.

How's it going? Josh Lyman.

Rhonda Sachs.

Any trouble?

No. Josh.

The WTO is undemocratic,
and accountable to no one,

decisions are made
by Executive Directors,

and the developing
world has little to say

about institutional policy.

What was that?

I protested to you.

Why?

'Cause I'm not allowed
to get arrested anymore.

Let's go back.

Nah.

I hate these people
with the heat of a nova.

Yet here I go.

Attaboy.

Shut up.

I got your back, man, you know?

Or not.

Charlie?

Yes, sir?

Let's do calls in
the residence, okay?

Yes, sir.

I think there were a
couple of late memos...

Good evening, Mr. President.

They're on your desk, sir.

Thanks.

I'm going to head home.

At 7:30?

I'll make calls
from the residence.

Are you feeling all right? Yeah.

I heard you lost the site.

What's the backup?

Well, there's this wooded
land on the Connecticut River,

but the Abenaki
Indians are claiming

it's an ancient burial ground.

Ah.

There's a magnificent bluff

overlooking an
orchard in Orford,

and the owner is
willing, if not eager,

to donate the land.
What's the problem?

The owner's doing 40 months
at Allenwood for securities fraud.

You'll find a site.

This is how long I get before
I have to start with the library?

Two years? And
the first six months

was figuring out how
to work the phones?

Oh, by the way, they've
changed the phones again.

Yeah.

This is the last job
I'm ever going to have.

This is the last time I'm going
to come to work with people.

I swear to God, I feel

like I was just starting
to get good at it.

Well, it's two years, with
an option for four more.

Mr. President, is there
anything we need to talk about?

Not yet, okay?

Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Sam?

What are you doing?

I don't know.

Where have you
been all afternoon?

I've been around.

Then I came down here to
practice my sugar tossing,

'cause if you don't practice,

then you might as well give
the clarinet to a kid who'll use it.

Stephanie's upstairs.

I put her in your office
'cause Josh is back.

When she said that
from what she's heard,

I'm the one to talk to, that... I
have the ear of the President

you told her to say that, right?

It was...

This was so important to her.

I wanted to give...

Yes.

I did. I'm sorry.

I don't know why you
would think I was like that.

I mean, for fun, but...

I don't know why you'd
think I was like that.

It was wrong.

Yeah.

Were you able to...

He was a spy.

You're sure?

Yes.

No, I mean it's
not possible that...

His code name was "Black Water."

He copied by hand State Department
and White House documents

and delivered
them to the Soviets.

They included... Sam...

Roosevelt's plans
to enter the war...

You can't tell her.

You have to tell
her something else.

Possible recruitment targets.

Sam. It was...

Lists of Communists and
Communist sympathizers

at the State Department and
National Recovery Administration.

Sam... What are
you, out of your mind?

I'm telling her right now. No.

No, Sam.

Please, you
really can't do this.

Secret memoranda on the
U.S. negotiating stance at Yalta.

Please stop walking.

Good, 'cause Stalin
needed an advantage

and we wanted a fair fight.

Sam, nothing good
comes from telling her.

The truth isn't good?

Not right now, no. The
father is not going to live

another three months...
Let it go till then.

I'm not her fairy godmother.

She asked me to look into this.

I'm saying you wait
three months until...

Donna... Listen to me.

You're in a bad place right now,

and you shouldn't
make this decision.

If you don't tell her tonight,
you can tell her tomorrow.

If you tell her
tonight, that's it.

It was people pushing
paper around 50 years ago.

Why does it matter?

It was high treason, and
it mattered a great deal.

This country is an idea

and one that's lit the
world for two centuries

and treason against that idea

is not just a crime
against the living.

This ground holds the graves
of people who died for it,

who gave what Lincoln called

"the last full
measure of devotion."

Of fidelity.

Do you understand the last
full measure of devotion to...

Treason against them

is...

Sam...

There was a translator in
the Hungarian trade mission

named Shaba Demsky.

She was murdered in 1952.

She was about to reveal

the name of a Soviet
agent called Black Water.

This girl's going to find
out who her father was.

Sam...

You meant grandfather.

Tell me there's good news.

Have you ever heard of a
woman named Shaba Demsky?

No.

Sam?

I'm sorry, Stephanie, I
wasn't able to get access

to the people I needed to have
it considered this time around.

Why don't you tell your father

you'll be able to try
again in three months.

So, you're open to it?

Absolutely.

That's all he needed.

That's all I needed.

Did you hear?

You should call him right now.

Can I use the
phone on your desk?

Yeah, dial 9.

Everyone was right
about you, Sam.

Sam's the man.

It's just there are certain
things you're sure of...

like longitude and latitude.

Sam, I don't know

if this is the best
time to tell you,

but according to C.J.,

I wouldn't be so sure
about longitude and latitude.

Hey.

You should've seen Toby.

He was good?

He blew the doors off the place.

Then I almost got killed.

How?

I got hit with a
piece of a banana.

Let's go.

You know what you are?

You are old school, my friend.

Stop talking like
that. Let's go.

Let me tell you
something, though.

That was the second time
this year I almost got killed

and both times I was with you,

so you're going to
need a new wingman.

You were my old wingman?

Yeah. Let's go.

Where are you going?

Toby and I are going to get Sam
drunk, and then put him to bed.

I'll come.

Let's go.

I'm going to meet you there.

Yeah?

All right.
