Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,039 --> 00:00:07,641
Previously on The West Wing...
2
00:00:07,675 --> 00:00:09,743
Polls open in five,
3
00:00:09,777 --> 00:00:14,515
four, three, two...
4
00:00:14,548 --> 00:00:15,649
OTTO:
Final pass at the victory
5
00:00:15,683 --> 00:00:17,051
and concession speeches.
6
00:00:17,085 --> 00:00:18,719
It was either this
or a solitaire tournament
7
00:00:18,752 --> 00:00:19,720
with the Advance guys.
8
00:00:19,753 --> 00:00:21,222
Have you seen this stuff
about Leo?
9
00:00:21,255 --> 00:00:24,192
Leo McGarry did not accept
his party's nomination
10
00:00:24,225 --> 00:00:25,859
for the vice presidency
of the United States
11
00:00:25,893 --> 00:00:29,530
because he thought it might make
your socks roll up and down.
12
00:00:29,563 --> 00:00:31,732
Come upstairs. We just got
the first round of exit polls.
13
00:00:31,765 --> 00:00:33,401
MAYER:
We're also losing
in North Dakota,
14
00:00:33,434 --> 00:00:35,503
a state that's gone Republican
for the last 40 years.
15
00:00:35,536 --> 00:00:37,938
And that doesn't give
you a moment's pause?
16
00:00:37,971 --> 00:00:39,373
Turnout is down 15 percent!
17
00:00:39,407 --> 00:00:40,341
In Vermont?!
18
00:00:40,374 --> 00:00:42,643
Josh...
How can we be up
in South Carolina
19
00:00:42,676 --> 00:00:44,812
and not get people
to the polls in Vermont?!
20
00:00:44,845 --> 00:00:46,647
Leo?
21
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:47,781
Leo!
22
00:00:47,815 --> 00:00:49,083
Somebody help me!
23
00:00:50,818 --> 00:00:54,054
JOSH:
Yeah, of course, it's very
gratifying to win Illinois.
24
00:00:54,088 --> 00:00:55,256
That's Leo McGarry country.
25
00:00:55,289 --> 00:00:57,091
Now he can leave
that suitcase full of ballots
26
00:00:57,125 --> 00:00:59,760
in his hotel room.
27
00:00:59,793 --> 00:01:03,531
Congressman Santos isn't running
for the President of Texas.
28
00:01:03,564 --> 00:01:07,268
He'd like to win every state,
he's gunning for Guam, too.
29
00:01:07,301 --> 00:01:09,370
But we've already won
New York, New Jersey,
30
00:01:09,403 --> 00:01:12,140
Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, which...
31
00:01:12,173 --> 00:01:15,543
BRUNO:
Senator Vinick has won Florida,
Arkansas, Kentucky,
Mississippi
32
00:01:15,576 --> 00:01:16,844
and Virginia.
33
00:01:16,877 --> 00:01:19,980
And as for South Carolina,
Matt Santos couldn't have made
34
00:01:20,013 --> 00:01:21,982
more trips to the state
if he lived there.
35
00:01:22,015 --> 00:01:24,352
We feel great about California.
36
00:01:24,385 --> 00:01:27,355
Polls are still open out west;
the whole country's at stake.
37
00:01:27,388 --> 00:01:29,990
We're very optimistic
about Texas.
38
00:01:30,023 --> 00:01:32,660
And we'll win
the state of California.
39
00:01:32,693 --> 00:01:33,461
Well, thank you, Jeff.
40
00:01:33,494 --> 00:01:36,297
It's great talking to you, too.
41
00:01:36,330 --> 00:01:38,132
Why the hell aren't
we dominating Texas?
42
00:01:38,166 --> 00:01:39,367
Like the wise man said,
43
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,968
Santos isn't running
for President of Texas.
44
00:01:41,001 --> 00:01:42,636
Think we have enough flags?
45
00:01:42,670 --> 00:01:45,173
We still have to convince people
we're not agitprop socialists?
46
00:01:45,206 --> 00:01:46,807
I think that sometimes,
and I work here.
47
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,678
Thank you, Barbara.
48
00:01:50,711 --> 00:01:52,546
Ohio?
Not yet.
49
00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:54,882
They called Tennessee for
us, Indiana, West Virginia.
50
00:01:54,915 --> 00:01:56,484
God bless the coal industry.
51
00:01:56,517 --> 00:01:57,785
Wisconsin?
52
00:01:57,818 --> 00:01:59,820
Leaning Santos.
53
00:01:59,853 --> 00:02:01,422
Ohio-- what the hell...
54
00:02:01,455 --> 00:02:03,056
...is going on in Ohio?!
( rock music playing )
55
00:02:03,090 --> 00:02:04,057
You look terrible.
56
00:02:04,091 --> 00:02:05,859
Makeup's really working then.
57
00:02:05,893 --> 00:02:07,060
Minnesota's official.
58
00:02:07,094 --> 00:02:08,496
And Bruce and Gene
need a minute.
59
00:02:08,529 --> 00:02:09,697
Who?
60
00:02:09,730 --> 00:02:10,864
From the
transition team.
61
00:02:10,898 --> 00:02:12,099
Tell them we're gonna
wait and see
62
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:13,901
if there's
a transition first.
63
00:02:13,934 --> 00:02:14,902
They said it was important.
64
00:02:19,873 --> 00:02:21,675
Interrupt me
after two minutes.
65
00:02:21,709 --> 00:02:22,543
If a state is called?
66
00:02:22,576 --> 00:02:24,612
Or make something up.
Two minutes.
67
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:28,516
Bruce, Gene, how are you?
68
00:02:28,549 --> 00:02:29,617
ANCHORWOMAN:
There are several polls
69
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:32,152
across the country
that have just closed--
70
00:02:32,186 --> 00:02:33,554
polls that we're not
calling yet.
71
00:02:33,587 --> 00:02:34,922
These states--
Michigan, Texas...
72
00:02:34,955 --> 00:02:35,789
JANE:
They just called Minnesota
73
00:02:35,823 --> 00:02:36,924
for Santos.
74
00:02:36,957 --> 00:02:38,426
Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire.
75
00:02:38,459 --> 00:02:40,060
Talk to me about
the duck-boot belt.
76
00:02:40,093 --> 00:02:41,295
JANE:
They're still too close to call.
77
00:02:41,329 --> 00:02:42,296
That'd be something, huh?
78
00:02:42,330 --> 00:02:44,832
Come on, Ohio, come on.
79
00:02:44,865 --> 00:02:45,833
GENE:
We have problems
80
00:02:45,866 --> 00:02:46,634
with the victory speech.
81
00:02:46,667 --> 00:02:48,736
Big problems.
82
00:02:48,769 --> 00:02:50,271
What problems?
83
00:02:50,304 --> 00:02:52,540
For starters, there's nothing
about economic sacrifice.
84
00:02:52,573 --> 00:02:54,708
Have you seen CBO's
latest deficit projections?
85
00:02:54,742 --> 00:02:56,977
Throw the old baseline
right out the window.
If we can't claim
86
00:02:57,010 --> 00:02:57,878
a mandate for
economic sacrifice...
87
00:02:57,911 --> 00:02:59,447
A line in a speech
88
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,315
doesn't give us a mandate,
there's no spinning it.
89
00:03:01,349 --> 00:03:02,850
We ran the national
security language
90
00:03:02,883 --> 00:03:03,951
by Nancy McNally.
91
00:03:03,984 --> 00:03:05,219
She agrees, we need
92
00:03:05,253 --> 00:03:06,620
a strong reference
to burden-sharing,
93
00:03:06,654 --> 00:03:08,689
what with Kazakhstan out there
ticking like a time bomb.
94
00:03:08,722 --> 00:03:10,190
The Congressman
mentioned burden-sharing
95
00:03:10,224 --> 00:03:12,560
less than 15 times
in the campaign.
96
00:03:12,593 --> 00:03:13,361
You counted?
97
00:03:13,394 --> 00:03:14,828
GENE:
Campaign's over.
98
00:03:14,862 --> 00:03:16,730
Someone's got to be thinking
about the governing.
99
00:03:16,764 --> 00:03:18,966
Do you have your changes
written down?
100
00:03:22,903 --> 00:03:24,472
( sirens wailing )
101
00:03:24,505 --> 00:03:26,307
BRAM:
No rope line, no press pool.
102
00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:27,575
We're going in
through the basement.
103
00:03:27,608 --> 00:03:29,943
No one sees you till you
give your speech tonight.
104
00:03:29,977 --> 00:03:31,078
( phone ringing )
It's Bram.
105
00:03:31,111 --> 00:03:32,112
JOSH:
I need the Congressman.
106
00:03:32,145 --> 00:03:33,814
They called Minnesota for us.
107
00:03:33,847 --> 00:03:34,848
Good news.
108
00:03:35,916 --> 00:03:37,418
JOSH:
Bad news.
109
00:03:37,451 --> 00:03:39,387
If you guys are trying
to play good-cop bad-cop,
110
00:03:39,420 --> 00:03:40,554
your routine needs some work.
111
00:03:40,588 --> 00:03:41,989
We need to rewrite
the victory speech.
112
00:03:42,022 --> 00:03:43,291
The transition team
113
00:03:43,324 --> 00:03:45,326
wants sacrifice
and burden-sharing
114
00:03:45,359 --> 00:03:46,860
instead of sunshine and light.
115
00:03:46,894 --> 00:03:47,895
Josh...
116
00:03:47,928 --> 00:03:48,962
They counted the references.
117
00:03:48,996 --> 00:03:50,264
It's my own fault.
If I hadn't...
118
00:03:50,298 --> 00:03:52,065
Don't worry about it.
119
00:03:52,099 --> 00:03:53,066
It's our first
governing document.
120
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:54,101
The propeller-heads
are just trying
121
00:03:54,134 --> 00:03:55,102
to make their own jobs easier.
122
00:03:55,135 --> 00:03:56,103
You want something
to worry about,
123
00:03:56,136 --> 00:03:57,104
worry about the next two hours.
124
00:03:57,137 --> 00:03:58,238
Hey, what happened to you?
125
00:03:58,272 --> 00:03:59,807
Two minutes.
126
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,241
120 seconds.
127
00:04:01,275 --> 00:04:03,311
I was stuck in there
with dull and duller,
128
00:04:03,344 --> 00:04:05,813
counting beads on
my imaginary abacus.
129
00:04:05,846 --> 00:04:06,814
Ohio?
130
00:04:09,216 --> 00:04:11,552
Texas-- we won?
131
00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:13,220
We lost?
132
00:04:13,253 --> 00:04:14,588
We need a good
lawyer? What?
133
00:04:15,656 --> 00:04:18,726
Leo was unconscious in his room.
134
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:20,227
Annabeth found him.
135
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:22,963
He wasn't...
136
00:04:22,996 --> 00:04:25,466
He wasn't breathing.
137
00:04:25,499 --> 00:04:28,769
They're taking him to the
hospital in an ambulance now.
138
00:05:25,225 --> 00:05:27,528
MARGARET:
C.J.
139
00:05:27,561 --> 00:05:31,064
C.J.?
140
00:05:31,098 --> 00:05:32,800
Is the President in his office?
141
00:05:32,833 --> 00:05:34,868
He just got back.
Should I get Will?
142
00:05:52,285 --> 00:05:54,121
Nancy.
143
00:05:54,154 --> 00:05:55,689
NANCY:
Yes, sir?
144
00:05:55,723 --> 00:05:59,059
I thought I brought that Centcom
report back from Air Force One.
145
00:05:59,092 --> 00:06:01,361
See if it's in that pile
of stuff I dumped on your desk.
146
00:06:01,395 --> 00:06:03,030
NANCY:
I'll check, sir.
147
00:06:03,063 --> 00:06:05,899
PRESIDENT:
I have some serious issues with
the force readiness report.
148
00:06:05,933 --> 00:06:07,334
We'll need to get
Hutchinson in here
149
00:06:07,367 --> 00:06:08,969
in the morning
to go over it.
150
00:06:09,002 --> 00:06:10,203
Any word on Ohio or Texas?
151
00:06:10,237 --> 00:06:11,439
No, sir.
152
00:06:11,472 --> 00:06:12,873
I had to get out
of Manchester.
153
00:06:12,906 --> 00:06:15,876
Sitting around my daughter's
house watching my son-in-law
154
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:19,413
take his much deserved electoral
beating without being able
155
00:06:19,447 --> 00:06:20,514
to utter a
self-satisfied "whoop"
156
00:06:20,548 --> 00:06:22,416
was a bit more
than I could bear.
157
00:06:22,450 --> 00:06:24,251
Nancy, anything?
158
00:06:24,284 --> 00:06:25,385
Still searching, sir.
159
00:06:25,419 --> 00:06:26,520
I probably left
it on the plane.
160
00:06:26,554 --> 00:06:27,955
Call Andrews for
me, will you?
161
00:06:27,988 --> 00:06:32,192
If the Republicans end up with
a one-vote majority in Congress,
162
00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:35,295
we can chalk it up to my eldest
daughter's lousy taste in men
163
00:06:35,328 --> 00:06:37,798
and her father's
pathetic efforts to...
164
00:06:43,303 --> 00:06:45,873
C.J., what is it?
165
00:06:48,676 --> 00:06:50,277
Where is he?
They're taking him
to Methodist.
166
00:06:50,310 --> 00:06:51,779
The ambulance
should be there by now.
167
00:06:51,812 --> 00:06:53,413
Where's Josh?
He just left for
the hospital.
168
00:06:53,447 --> 00:06:54,648
Was Leo talking?
We don't know.
169
00:06:54,682 --> 00:06:55,883
Should we be going
to the hospital?
170
00:06:55,916 --> 00:06:57,518
No, no. Press doesn't
have this yet.
171
00:06:57,551 --> 00:06:59,787
Why not?
Polls out west are open
for another 90 minutes.
172
00:06:59,820 --> 00:07:02,189
The longer that we...
You want to try
and keep this a secret
173
00:07:02,222 --> 00:07:03,290
for an hour and a half?
174
00:07:03,323 --> 00:07:04,792
A quarter of the country
is still voting.
175
00:07:04,825 --> 00:07:07,461
And I'm asking all four quarters
to trust me to be their leader.
176
00:07:07,495 --> 00:07:09,730
I am not hiding the health
problems of my vice president.
177
00:07:09,763 --> 00:07:11,599
May not be the best place
to have this conversation.
178
00:07:11,632 --> 00:07:12,833
Anything that highlights
any uncertainty...
179
00:07:12,866 --> 00:07:14,535
I am not having
this conversation.
180
00:07:14,568 --> 00:07:16,637
We're issuing a statement
to the press now.
181
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:18,138
Congressman, this is
still a campaign,
182
00:07:18,171 --> 00:07:20,774
and there's only two kinds:
the pitiless and the dead.
183
00:07:20,808 --> 00:07:22,442
Every minute we stand here,
votes are being cast.
184
00:07:22,476 --> 00:07:24,878
Undecideds vote
late in the day.
185
00:07:24,912 --> 00:07:26,914
If they were looking for
a reason to vote Vinick,
186
00:07:26,947 --> 00:07:29,382
a press release from us could
just punch their lottery ticket.
187
00:07:29,416 --> 00:07:30,618
HELEN:
It's going to come out.
188
00:07:30,651 --> 00:07:31,819
10 minutes, 15 minutes,
the paramedics,
189
00:07:31,852 --> 00:07:33,186
somebody at the hotel
or the hospital's
190
00:07:33,220 --> 00:07:34,254
gonna say something.
191
00:07:34,287 --> 00:07:35,388
Maybe we get lucky
and it takes an hour
192
00:07:35,422 --> 00:07:36,557
for the press to confirm
and get it on the air.
193
00:07:36,590 --> 00:07:37,525
HELEN:
They're not gonna wait
to confirm it.
194
00:07:37,558 --> 00:07:38,759
They're gonna go
with the rumor.
195
00:07:38,792 --> 00:07:40,594
I know he's your friend.
He's my friend, too.
196
00:07:40,628 --> 00:07:42,462
But we can't be
sentimental about this,
197
00:07:42,496 --> 00:07:44,464
or we will have
a Republican president,
198
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:46,600
who will gut education,
199
00:07:46,634 --> 00:07:47,968
he will auction off
Social Security
200
00:07:48,001 --> 00:07:50,771
and cut taxes till
we're bleeding red ink.
201
00:07:50,804 --> 00:07:52,973
And when Leo wakes up,
he will kick your ass
202
00:07:53,006 --> 00:07:54,808
for letting that happen,
you know he will.
203
00:07:56,677 --> 00:07:58,478
Start working on a statement.
204
00:07:58,512 --> 00:07:59,813
Get me to a phone.
205
00:07:59,847 --> 00:08:01,314
I want to call the hospital.
206
00:08:01,348 --> 00:08:03,250
MOYER:
To recap for those of you
just joining us...
207
00:08:03,283 --> 00:08:04,552
All right.
208
00:08:04,585 --> 00:08:07,988
They're calling
Kansas, Louisiana,
209
00:08:08,021 --> 00:08:09,189
Nebraska, Oklahoma,
210
00:08:09,222 --> 00:08:10,824
North and South Dakota
all for us.
211
00:08:11,559 --> 00:08:14,261
Minnesota for Santos,
212
00:08:14,294 --> 00:08:15,328
Wisconsin.
213
00:08:15,362 --> 00:08:16,329
What about Ohio?
Nothing yet.
214
00:08:16,363 --> 00:08:17,330
Iowa?
215
00:08:17,364 --> 00:08:18,231
Too close to call.
216
00:08:18,265 --> 00:08:19,332
Texas?
Nope.
217
00:08:19,366 --> 00:08:21,234
JANE:
What do we got left out west?
218
00:08:21,268 --> 00:08:22,435
We'll take Idaho, Montana, Utah,
219
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:25,172
Wyoming, Alaska,
probably Nevada.
220
00:08:25,205 --> 00:08:27,207
Santos gets Hawaii
221
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,209
and Washington, uh...
222
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:30,544
Hey!
223
00:08:30,578 --> 00:08:32,012
MOYER:
...we're now prepared to call
224
00:08:32,045 --> 00:08:34,548
the state of Ohio
for Senator Arnold Vinick.
225
00:08:34,582 --> 00:08:36,083
Yes!
( cheering )
226
00:08:36,116 --> 00:08:37,618
BRUNO:
Texas! Come on!
227
00:08:37,651 --> 00:08:39,553
Come on, what do we know
about Texas?!
228
00:08:48,962 --> 00:08:50,163
Where is he?
229
00:08:52,299 --> 00:08:53,634
( door closes )
230
00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:55,836
( classical music playing )
231
00:09:03,310 --> 00:09:04,277
( ding )
232
00:09:20,127 --> 00:09:22,262
Hey.
233
00:09:23,330 --> 00:09:26,133
He died, Josh.
234
00:09:32,239 --> 00:09:35,008
( sobbing )
235
00:09:38,445 --> 00:09:39,312
RONNA:
What's the count?
236
00:09:39,346 --> 00:09:41,649
166, 179.
237
00:09:41,682 --> 00:09:42,716
No Texas yet?
238
00:09:42,750 --> 00:09:44,852
( phone ringing )
239
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,055
It's Bram.
240
00:09:48,088 --> 00:09:49,356
NEWSCASTER:
...North Dakota, South Dakota...
241
00:09:49,389 --> 00:09:51,124
( whispers ):
It's Josh.
242
00:09:51,158 --> 00:09:53,560
...Delaware, Montana, Wyoming--
any of those states would
243
00:09:53,593 --> 00:09:54,662
be enough for Santos to tie...
244
00:09:54,695 --> 00:09:55,663
( knocking )
245
00:09:55,696 --> 00:09:57,798
...at this moment in time.
246
00:09:57,831 --> 00:09:59,166
It's Josh for the Congressman.
247
00:09:59,199 --> 00:10:00,901
The battleground states
that we have not been able
248
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:02,102
to project winners in... Texas--
249
00:10:02,135 --> 00:10:03,236
Yeah?
250
00:10:03,270 --> 00:10:04,905
Congressman Santos' home state.
251
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:07,675
Look at these numbers:
51% so far for Santos,
252
00:10:07,708 --> 00:10:10,744
49% for Vinick.
253
00:10:10,778 --> 00:10:13,847
PRESIDENT:
Yeah, we don't know much yet.
254
00:10:13,881 --> 00:10:17,685
I'm heading back out to Andrews
in a couple minutes to fly down.
255
00:10:17,718 --> 00:10:21,421
I think Mallory's already there
for election night.
256
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:24,792
I'll make sure.
257
00:10:26,727 --> 00:10:28,996
Honey, can you
hang on a second?
258
00:10:35,102 --> 00:10:36,436
When?
259
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:38,305
Just a few minutes ago.
260
00:10:38,338 --> 00:10:41,141
Donna just called me.
261
00:10:58,826 --> 00:11:00,493
Thank you, C.J.
262
00:11:00,527 --> 00:11:03,663
Mr. President.
263
00:11:08,702 --> 00:11:12,039
( inhales deeply )
264
00:11:24,384 --> 00:11:27,888
Sweetheart, I'm sorry,
I have some very bad news.
265
00:11:27,921 --> 00:11:29,056
NEWSCASTER:
Let's recap where we stand
266
00:11:29,089 --> 00:11:31,591
right after 9:30
here on the east coast.
267
00:11:31,624 --> 00:11:34,227
If we look at the popular vote,
real numbers,
268
00:11:34,261 --> 00:11:38,031
with 14% of the votes now in,
Arnold Vinick with 49%.
269
00:11:38,065 --> 00:11:40,567
Senator, I've got Matt Santos
on the phone.
270
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,236
...Matthew Santos with 48%.
271
00:11:43,270 --> 00:11:44,671
He want to concede already?
272
00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:46,573
No, sir.
273
00:11:46,606 --> 00:11:48,942
You'll want to take this call.
274
00:11:48,976 --> 00:11:50,911
Matt?
275
00:11:50,944 --> 00:11:54,647
...270 needed
to be elected president...
276
00:11:54,681 --> 00:11:55,849
Well, thank you, Senator,
277
00:11:55,883 --> 00:11:57,985
I... I'll pass that along
to everyone here.
278
00:11:58,018 --> 00:11:59,719
NEWSCASTER:
For those of you just tuning in
279
00:11:59,753 --> 00:12:02,155
to our election night coverage,
Yeah, I appreciate that.
Thank you.
280
00:12:02,189 --> 00:12:04,224
we bring you breaking news,
and, some would say,
281
00:12:04,257 --> 00:12:06,827
heartbreaking news,
at this hour.
282
00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:10,597
Once again, Leo McGarry
has been pronounced dead
283
00:12:10,630 --> 00:12:14,968
by Dr. Elliott M. Gross of the
Texas Methodist Medical Center.
284
00:12:15,002 --> 00:12:17,670
He was rushed to the hospital
after a massive heart attack,
285
00:12:17,704 --> 00:12:19,739
his second in as many years.
286
00:12:19,773 --> 00:12:22,843
Vice Presidential candidate,
White House counselor
287
00:12:22,876 --> 00:12:25,478
and Chief of Staff,
Labor Secretary,
288
00:12:25,512 --> 00:12:27,180
and captain of industry...
289
00:12:27,214 --> 00:12:28,949
NEWSWOMAN:
The Chicago native
played a major role
290
00:12:28,982 --> 00:12:30,884
in shaping
every presidential election
291
00:12:30,918 --> 00:12:32,786
of the past quarter-century.
292
00:12:32,820 --> 00:12:35,622
Once again, Leo McGarry
has been pronounced dead.
293
00:12:35,655 --> 00:12:38,658
He was rushed to the hospital
after a massive heart attack,
294
00:12:38,691 --> 00:12:40,794
his second in as many years.
295
00:12:40,828 --> 00:12:41,929
NEWSMAN:
Some believed that McGarry
296
00:12:41,962 --> 00:12:44,197
had considerably more weight
and experience,
297
00:12:44,231 --> 00:12:46,399
particularly in matters
of foreign policy,
298
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:48,335
than the top of the ticket.
299
00:12:48,368 --> 00:12:50,804
More than one Democratic
operative might be saying,
300
00:12:50,838 --> 00:12:54,574
with the loss of this party
eminence and elder,
301
00:12:54,607 --> 00:12:57,677
what now
for the Santos campaign?
302
00:12:57,710 --> 00:13:00,447
What now?
303
00:13:03,050 --> 00:13:04,217
SANTOS:
What are my options?
304
00:13:04,251 --> 00:13:05,953
GOODWIN:
You could put forward
another name,
305
00:13:05,986 --> 00:13:08,856
make it harder for Vinick
to make an issue out of this,
306
00:13:08,889 --> 00:13:11,758
or God forbid, contest
a result he doesn't like.
307
00:13:11,791 --> 00:13:14,194
Could he do that?
We don't have a lot of
precedent to guide us here.
308
00:13:14,227 --> 00:13:16,063
You want me to pick
another running mate
309
00:13:16,096 --> 00:13:17,297
in the next five minutes?
310
00:13:17,330 --> 00:13:18,832
Why not stop the elevator
between floors,
311
00:13:18,866 --> 00:13:19,967
I'll pick a
whole Cabinet.
312
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,734
The polls don't close
for 50 minutes
313
00:13:21,768 --> 00:13:23,803
out west and it may take
just few thousand votes
314
00:13:23,837 --> 00:13:25,105
to decide this election.
315
00:13:25,138 --> 00:13:26,706
KAGAN:
We just can't put forward
another name.
316
00:13:26,739 --> 00:13:28,976
Article 3, Section 1
of the DNC charter
317
00:13:29,009 --> 00:13:31,111
gives the power to name
a replacement to the DNC.
318
00:13:31,144 --> 00:13:33,080
You can recommend a name,
but you'll have to make clear
319
00:13:33,113 --> 00:13:34,514
the DNC gets
to approve it.
320
00:13:34,547 --> 00:13:36,816
I'm not naming a new running
mate in the next five minutes.
321
00:13:36,850 --> 00:13:38,751
Leo is on the ballot,
if I win, he wins,
322
00:13:38,785 --> 00:13:39,953
nothing we can do
about that now.
323
00:13:39,987 --> 00:13:41,721
So what happens next?
324
00:13:41,754 --> 00:13:43,723
The Electoral College vote
in December.
325
00:13:43,756 --> 00:13:44,624
Most states electors
are free to vote
326
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:45,959
for anyone for Vice President.
327
00:13:45,993 --> 00:13:49,062
So I can ask them to vote
for someone other than Leo?
328
00:13:49,096 --> 00:13:51,064
Yes, but Vinick could claim
you're circumventing the voters.
329
00:13:51,098 --> 00:13:52,732
The alternative being...?
330
00:13:52,765 --> 00:13:55,368
Wait until you
take office in January
331
00:13:55,402 --> 00:13:56,870
and nominate someone
under the 25th Amendment.
332
00:13:56,904 --> 00:13:58,906
Can we please...?
Which might be
more respectful
333
00:13:58,939 --> 00:14:00,874
of Constitutional process.
Vinick would
not be able
334
00:14:00,908 --> 00:14:02,275
to argue the public's
not being represented,
335
00:14:02,309 --> 00:14:03,944
and if congressional...
LOU:
Okay, guys, before we get
336
00:14:03,977 --> 00:14:05,745
too deeply
into Robert's Rules of Order,
337
00:14:05,778 --> 00:14:07,314
may I remind you
people are still voting,
338
00:14:07,347 --> 00:14:08,748
we haven't won
the damn election yet?
339
00:14:08,781 --> 00:14:10,183
Now he's got to get down
to that ballroom now
340
00:14:10,217 --> 00:14:13,120
and reassure
the voters out west.
341
00:14:13,153 --> 00:14:15,222
We've got a draft statement?
Speechwriters
are working on it.
342
00:14:15,255 --> 00:14:17,190
No adjectives,
no frilly language--
343
00:14:17,224 --> 00:14:18,892
I lost a friend here
tonight, okay?
344
00:14:18,926 --> 00:14:21,361
Leo's family?
345
00:14:21,394 --> 00:14:22,529
His daughter, Mallory,
was in the hotel.
346
00:14:22,562 --> 00:14:23,530
She's headed to the hospital.
347
00:14:23,563 --> 00:14:25,432
HELEN:
Is Josh still there?
348
00:14:25,465 --> 00:14:27,200
Last I heard.
LOU:
You need him back?
349
00:14:27,234 --> 00:14:29,036
I need Josh to be
wherever he needs to be.
350
00:14:29,069 --> 00:14:29,836
Get me that statement.
351
00:14:29,869 --> 00:14:31,438
Thanks.
352
00:14:46,053 --> 00:14:47,320
They called Ohio
for Vinick.
353
00:14:47,354 --> 00:14:48,721
( sniffles )
354
00:14:48,755 --> 00:14:52,192
Kansas, Louisiana,
Nebraska, Oklahoma.
355
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:54,661
North and
South Dakota.
356
00:14:54,694 --> 00:14:57,830
We picked up Minnesota,
Wisconsin.
357
00:14:57,864 --> 00:14:59,366
Texas?
358
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:00,733
Not yet.
359
00:15:00,767 --> 00:15:02,169
Polls are still open
out west.
360
00:15:02,202 --> 00:15:04,337
Congressman needs
to make a statement,
361
00:15:04,371 --> 00:15:06,873
calm nervous undecideds
in California
362
00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:08,008
and the Pacific
Northw...
363
00:15:08,041 --> 00:15:09,109
Lou's already on it.
364
00:15:09,142 --> 00:15:10,543
He needs to make it now.
365
00:15:10,577 --> 00:15:12,879
There's no...
They know that.
366
00:15:12,912 --> 00:15:15,315
Somebody needs
to tell the President.
367
00:15:15,348 --> 00:15:17,584
I called C.J.
368
00:15:20,687 --> 00:15:23,023
Where's Mallory, she was here
a couple seconds ago?
369
00:15:23,056 --> 00:15:26,426
She just went to
call her mom.
370
00:15:30,163 --> 00:15:32,932
Wow.
371
00:15:32,966 --> 00:15:34,234
How is the Congressman?
372
00:15:34,267 --> 00:15:37,037
Did you talk
to Lou or Bram?
373
00:15:37,070 --> 00:15:40,573
Yeah, he's in shock,
like the rest of us.
374
00:15:43,376 --> 00:15:46,579
Shouldn't we get
back to the hotel?
375
00:15:46,613 --> 00:15:49,516
So, no Texas yet?
376
00:15:49,549 --> 00:15:51,618
Come on, I'll drive.
377
00:15:57,390 --> 00:15:58,625
MAYER:
They shouldn't have
subjected him
378
00:15:58,658 --> 00:16:00,493
to the stresses of a big race.
379
00:16:00,527 --> 00:16:02,129
After his last heart attack,
they practically wheeled him
380
00:16:02,162 --> 00:16:04,064
from the O.R. straight
to the nominating convention.
381
00:16:04,097 --> 00:16:07,700
Santos needed him, he needed
a guy with 200 years experience
382
00:16:07,734 --> 00:16:09,469
to balance out
those training wheels.
383
00:16:09,502 --> 00:16:10,603
Santos still hasn't
made a statement?
384
00:16:10,637 --> 00:16:11,971
Nope.
385
00:16:12,005 --> 00:16:14,374
VINICK:
Condolences,
support for the family?
386
00:16:14,407 --> 00:16:16,876
JANE:
They're probably still trying
to figure out what to say.
387
00:16:16,909 --> 00:16:18,345
"Hey, sorry, thought he had
388
00:16:18,378 --> 00:16:20,447
a few thousand more miles
in him. Oops."
389
00:16:26,653 --> 00:16:29,389
The polls close in California
in 45 minutes
390
00:16:29,422 --> 00:16:32,192
and we're still not as strong
as we should be in the south.
391
00:16:32,225 --> 00:16:34,461
Orange County, San Diego,
392
00:16:34,494 --> 00:16:36,063
the San Fernando Valley.
393
00:16:36,096 --> 00:16:38,065
You think I should
make a statement?
Undecideds
all over California
394
00:16:38,098 --> 00:16:40,400
are driving to the polls
right now,
395
00:16:40,433 --> 00:16:42,069
trying to figure out
which lever to pull.
396
00:16:42,102 --> 00:16:44,071
No doubt some
Democrats, too,
397
00:16:44,104 --> 00:16:45,738
wondering if Matt Santos
is up to the job
398
00:16:45,772 --> 00:16:47,574
without Leo McGarry
behind pulling the strings.
399
00:16:47,607 --> 00:16:49,476
MAYER:
Santos hasn't made a statement
'cause he just lost
400
00:16:49,509 --> 00:16:52,345
his rationale for having enough
experience to run the country.
401
00:16:52,379 --> 00:16:55,715
It's hard to reassure
without your reassurance.
402
00:16:55,748 --> 00:16:57,317
You're quiet all of a sudden.
403
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:59,386
Yeah.
404
00:16:59,419 --> 00:17:01,221
( sighs )
405
00:17:01,254 --> 00:17:04,724
If Santos wins the election,
it's bait and switch,
406
00:17:04,757 --> 00:17:05,992
false advertising.
407
00:17:06,025 --> 00:17:07,994
He's got a full slate
of tainted electors,
408
00:17:08,027 --> 00:17:09,462
and I'm not so sure
a Republican Congress
409
00:17:09,496 --> 00:17:10,597
ratifies his election
as President.
410
00:17:10,630 --> 00:17:12,565
JANE:
If we even get a
Republican Congress.
411
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:15,802
You're suggesting
I challenge a Santos win?
412
00:17:15,835 --> 00:17:17,237
We can't let Matt Santos
413
00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:19,072
take this country
into mass confusion
414
00:17:19,106 --> 00:17:20,607
and a tainted electoral process
415
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,509
while troops are air-dropping
into Kazakhstan.
416
00:17:22,542 --> 00:17:24,444
You want me
to go out there and say
417
00:17:24,477 --> 00:17:26,846
people shouldn't vote
for Matt Santos
418
00:17:26,879 --> 00:17:29,282
because Leo McGarry died?
419
00:17:29,316 --> 00:17:30,883
( knocking on door )
420
00:17:30,917 --> 00:17:32,185
SHEILA:
We have to be
very careful.
421
00:17:32,219 --> 00:17:33,653
We could create a backlash
for ourselves.
422
00:17:33,686 --> 00:17:36,289
How about creating a conscience
for ourselves?
423
00:17:36,323 --> 00:17:38,625
I've known Leo
for 20 years.
424
00:17:38,658 --> 00:17:40,860
Can we please not use him
as a step stool?
425
00:17:40,893 --> 00:17:43,062
You think voters don't know
426
00:17:43,096 --> 00:17:45,298
exactly what this
means without our
427
00:17:45,332 --> 00:17:46,533
jamming it down their throats?
428
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:49,001
SHEILA:
Voters are doing
some jamming of their own.
429
00:17:49,035 --> 00:17:51,538
We're neck and neck
in California,
430
00:17:51,571 --> 00:17:53,340
and Texas is still too close
to call.
431
00:17:53,373 --> 00:17:55,208
If we don't want this to come
down to absentee ballots,
432
00:17:55,242 --> 00:17:57,344
we're going to need to do
something, and do it now.
433
00:17:57,377 --> 00:18:00,347
NEWSMAN:
The question is how
it might affect voters
434
00:18:00,380 --> 00:18:02,149
on the west coast
SANTOS:
I know you did, Senator.
435
00:18:02,182 --> 00:18:04,451
where polls remain open.
Well, I picked him
436
00:18:04,484 --> 00:18:06,153
'cause he was the best
man for the job.
437
00:18:06,186 --> 00:18:07,654
Of course I knew
that he'd had...
438
00:18:07,687 --> 00:18:10,357
...all seasoning and hard-earned
Washington wisdom...
439
00:18:10,390 --> 00:18:11,858
Well, I'll take that
under advisement.
440
00:18:11,891 --> 00:18:14,026
Thanks for the suggestion.
441
00:18:14,060 --> 00:18:15,628
( scoffs )
442
00:18:15,662 --> 00:18:18,231
Senator Kaufer,
selflessly offering himself
443
00:18:18,265 --> 00:18:20,733
as a possible Vice President
in the service of his country.
444
00:18:20,767 --> 00:18:22,269
HELEN:
God bless America.
445
00:18:22,302 --> 00:18:23,603
...a dedicated and loyal servant
446
00:18:23,636 --> 00:18:24,937
of the United State's
government...
447
00:18:24,971 --> 00:18:26,639
Am I going
to hate this?
448
00:18:26,673 --> 00:18:28,675
Probably.
449
00:18:29,942 --> 00:18:32,078
( distant music playing )
450
00:18:32,111 --> 00:18:33,880
* Believe it or not
451
00:18:33,913 --> 00:18:39,752
* Hands on a miracle
452
00:18:39,786 --> 00:18:44,791
* I got my hands on a miracle
453
00:18:44,824 --> 00:18:47,794
* And there ain't no way
454
00:18:47,827 --> 00:18:54,066
* Let you take it away
455
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:56,769
* Aye-aye-aye-aye
456
00:18:58,004 --> 00:19:03,810
* Take it away
457
00:19:03,843 --> 00:19:06,846
* Aye-aye-aye-aye...
458
00:19:10,617 --> 00:19:12,285
( song ends )
459
00:19:17,123 --> 00:19:20,860
Congressman Santos would like to
make a statement at this time.
460
00:19:32,972 --> 00:19:35,842
America has lost
a giant tonight,
461
00:19:35,875 --> 00:19:39,546
and I've lost a friend.
462
00:19:41,214 --> 00:19:44,083
Leo McGarry dedicated his life
to public service.
463
00:19:44,116 --> 00:19:46,253
To the notion that every citizen
is responsible
464
00:19:46,286 --> 00:19:49,188
for making this country
a better place.
465
00:19:49,222 --> 00:19:51,190
That we have a sacred duty
466
00:19:51,224 --> 00:19:53,326
to participate in our democracy.
467
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:56,263
To leave America stronger
for the next generation.
468
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:01,968
If I win this election,
the country will be worse off,
469
00:20:02,001 --> 00:20:05,438
because Leo McGarry will not
be there to help me run it.
470
00:20:05,472 --> 00:20:08,941
But I don't want anyone to vote
for or against me
471
00:20:08,975 --> 00:20:10,643
because of Leo McGarry.
472
00:20:10,677 --> 00:20:14,314
This race wasn't about him,
and it isn't about me.
473
00:20:14,347 --> 00:20:15,982
It's a vision for America
474
00:20:16,015 --> 00:20:19,286
that will outlast Leo,
and outlast me.
475
00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:23,490
There's an America that's bigger
than any of us.
476
00:20:23,523 --> 00:20:26,793
And for those of you
who have not yet voted,
477
00:20:26,826 --> 00:20:28,628
it is the only thing
that should matter
478
00:20:28,661 --> 00:20:31,197
when you go to the polls
tonight.
479
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:33,966
Thank you.
480
00:20:59,459 --> 00:21:01,561
NEWS CASTER:
Once again, to remind
our viewers,
481
00:21:01,594 --> 00:21:03,062
the red states
are Vinick states,
482
00:21:03,095 --> 00:21:04,564
the blue states
are Santos states.
483
00:21:04,597 --> 00:21:05,832
Hi.
484
00:21:05,865 --> 00:21:07,467
The rest, the white states,
485
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:09,702
are states that have closed
their polls, but we don't have
486
00:21:09,736 --> 00:21:11,304
enough information
to predict a winner.
487
00:21:11,338 --> 00:21:12,472
Polls just closed
in the West.
488
00:21:12,505 --> 00:21:13,840
Some people are asking...
489
00:21:13,873 --> 00:21:16,443
All over but the counting.
Texas is down to the wire.
490
00:21:16,476 --> 00:21:17,877
California's looking
like a photo finish.
491
00:21:17,910 --> 00:21:20,780
Oregon and Nevada are
both too close to call.
492
00:21:20,813 --> 00:21:22,915
They just called Utah, Idaho,
Montana and Wyoming
493
00:21:22,949 --> 00:21:24,083
for Vinick.
494
00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:25,251
We won Arizona?
495
00:21:25,284 --> 00:21:26,519
And Washington State.
496
00:21:26,553 --> 00:21:28,254
New Mexico.
Basically a tie.
497
00:21:28,287 --> 00:21:30,189
Omnes una manet nox.
498
00:21:30,222 --> 00:21:31,558
RONNA:
What's that?
499
00:21:31,591 --> 00:21:33,993
Old campaign saying of Leo's.
500
00:21:34,026 --> 00:21:35,528
Same night
awaits us all.
501
00:21:35,562 --> 00:21:36,763
Where is the Congressman?
502
00:21:36,796 --> 00:21:38,130
In his suite,
calling House candidates.
503
00:21:38,164 --> 00:21:39,265
Two more seats
in California,
504
00:21:39,298 --> 00:21:41,568
and we have a chance
to take back the House.
505
00:21:41,601 --> 00:21:43,403
EDIE:
We're projected to
win at least four.
506
00:21:43,436 --> 00:21:44,571
DONNA:
What about the Senate?
507
00:21:44,604 --> 00:21:45,538
LOU:
Senator McKenna
lost Pennsylvania.
508
00:21:45,572 --> 00:21:47,273
And Fuller lost Maine.
509
00:21:47,306 --> 00:21:48,341
Republicans retain the majority.
510
00:21:48,375 --> 00:21:49,542
And the President's son-in-law?
511
00:21:49,576 --> 00:21:51,611
BRAM:
Double-digit whipping.
512
00:21:51,644 --> 00:21:53,179
He's about to concede
any minute. It was on CNN.
513
00:21:53,212 --> 00:21:54,481
If he can find
the podium.
514
00:21:54,514 --> 00:21:57,350
Are they playing it as a defeat
for the First Family?
515
00:21:57,384 --> 00:21:59,185
I think they're playing it
as a victory
516
00:21:59,218 --> 00:22:00,186
for his Congressional district.
517
00:22:00,219 --> 00:22:01,354
( laughs )
518
00:22:01,388 --> 00:22:02,622
PRESIDENT:
No, no, I'm fine.
519
00:22:02,655 --> 00:22:05,157
You and Vic come
up for the funeral.
520
00:22:05,191 --> 00:22:07,293
Hasn't been set yet.
521
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:09,529
It'll probably be
in a few days.
522
00:22:09,562 --> 00:22:11,564
All right,
sweetheart.
523
00:22:11,598 --> 00:22:13,700
I love you, too.
Good night.
524
00:22:13,733 --> 00:22:16,469
( TV playing
in the background )
525
00:22:16,503 --> 00:22:19,372
Ellie worrying
about her father.
526
00:22:19,406 --> 00:22:23,242
The list
of condolence calls so far.
527
00:22:23,275 --> 00:22:26,613
When you have a moment,
let us know which ones
528
00:22:26,646 --> 00:22:28,247
you'd like
to return personally.
529
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,583
Hmm.
530
00:22:30,617 --> 00:22:33,219
MAN ( on TV ):
Both fought a fair race
on the issues,
531
00:22:33,252 --> 00:22:34,954
which was most candidly
demonstrated
532
00:22:34,987 --> 00:22:36,122
in their first debate...
533
00:22:36,155 --> 00:22:38,190
It's odd really, watching
yourself being replaced
534
00:22:38,224 --> 00:22:39,492
on national television.
535
00:22:39,526 --> 00:22:40,727
Planned obsolescence.
536
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,996
Presidents and mid-sized
family sedans.
537
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:45,932
Yes, sir.
538
00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:49,001
Would you have run again
if you could?
539
00:22:49,035 --> 00:22:51,203
I think Mrs. Bartlet
might have had something
540
00:22:51,237 --> 00:22:52,772
to say about that, don't you?
541
00:22:52,805 --> 00:22:54,240
Well, the electorate
can be very persuasive
542
00:22:54,273 --> 00:22:56,409
when they want something
badly enough.
543
00:22:56,443 --> 00:22:57,944
In the service of
two mistresses,
544
00:22:57,977 --> 00:22:59,211
these past
eight years.
545
00:22:59,245 --> 00:23:00,580
That's been
my fate.
546
00:23:00,613 --> 00:23:02,649
Thank God
for the 22nd Amendment.
547
00:23:02,682 --> 00:23:05,017
I'm spared that particular
conversation with Abbey.
548
00:23:05,051 --> 00:23:06,185
( chuckles )
549
00:23:06,218 --> 00:23:09,689
...There seem to have been
very few problems at the polls,
550
00:23:09,722 --> 00:23:12,391
and those few have stemmed
from the unanticipated...
551
00:23:12,425 --> 00:23:14,927
First time I met Leo, we argued.
552
00:23:14,961 --> 00:23:16,262
...Plagued many cities
across the country.
553
00:23:16,295 --> 00:23:17,263
About what?
554
00:23:17,296 --> 00:23:19,231
Monetary something.
Role of the Fed.
555
00:23:19,265 --> 00:23:20,633
Who won?
556
00:23:20,667 --> 00:23:21,801
I did.
557
00:23:21,834 --> 00:23:24,504
I'm sure if you could ask him,
he'd say he did.
558
00:23:26,773 --> 00:23:29,108
We almost lost him
15 years ago.
559
00:23:29,141 --> 00:23:30,910
Did you know that?
560
00:23:32,278 --> 00:23:34,113
Abbey and I used
to talk about it.
561
00:23:38,451 --> 00:23:40,419
I was prepared then.
562
00:23:42,121 --> 00:23:43,890
Not today.
563
00:23:50,797 --> 00:23:52,465
DONNA:
CBS may call
Maine for Vinick.
564
00:23:52,499 --> 00:23:53,566
LOU:
Tell them they can't.
565
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:54,534
DONNA:
Great, I'll pretend
566
00:23:54,567 --> 00:23:55,802
I'm their
political director.
567
00:23:55,835 --> 00:23:57,837
We're less than a tenth
of a percentage point apart.
568
00:23:57,870 --> 00:23:59,438
Anything below one percent
is an automatic retabulation.
569
00:23:59,472 --> 00:24:01,841
I've got 50 election lawyers
waiting by
570
00:24:01,874 --> 00:24:03,676
the Judicial Courthouse
in Augusta.
571
00:24:03,710 --> 00:24:04,911
Now get on the phone
and tell them they can't.
Okay.
572
00:24:04,944 --> 00:24:06,378
You realize we have
50 lawyers in Maine
573
00:24:06,412 --> 00:24:07,580
and not a single
one in Oregon,
574
00:24:07,614 --> 00:24:08,681
with almost twice
the electoral votes?
575
00:24:08,715 --> 00:24:09,582
RONNA:
How did that happen?
576
00:24:09,616 --> 00:24:10,850
Oregon looked safe.
577
00:24:10,883 --> 00:24:12,084
Well, it's not safe,
it's dangerously unsafe.
578
00:24:12,118 --> 00:24:13,486
It's unsafe at any speed.
579
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:14,987
We don't have a single lawyer
there.
580
00:24:15,021 --> 00:24:16,789
Well, how are we gonna...?
Pull two lawyers from Nevada.
581
00:24:16,823 --> 00:24:18,190
Ship 'em to Oregon,
problem solved.
582
00:24:18,224 --> 00:24:20,159
What's going on in the ballroom,
anybody still down there?
583
00:24:20,192 --> 00:24:21,160
EDIE:
Oh, the Foo Fighters
584
00:24:21,193 --> 00:24:22,461
finally ran out their play list,
585
00:24:22,495 --> 00:24:24,463
and Dave Matthews is
into his third encore,
586
00:24:24,497 --> 00:24:25,832
and the bar's out of Corona.
587
00:24:25,865 --> 00:24:27,700
How are we coming on
the too-close-to-call,
588
00:24:27,734 --> 00:24:29,401
it's-time-to-go-home-and-
get-some-sleep statement?
589
00:24:29,435 --> 00:24:30,603
The Congressman's tinkering
with it.
590
00:24:30,637 --> 00:24:31,871
JOSH:
The Congressman
doesn't read that.
591
00:24:31,904 --> 00:24:33,840
He wanted to go over it
in case...
592
00:24:33,873 --> 00:24:35,708
The Congressman doesn't
read that from a podium.
593
00:24:35,742 --> 00:24:36,609
If we're sending everyone home,
594
00:24:36,643 --> 00:24:38,044
we send Goodwin
out there.
595
00:24:38,077 --> 00:24:39,746
Don't turn the
next President of
the United States
596
00:24:39,779 --> 00:24:41,147
into a junior high
school principal.
597
00:24:41,180 --> 00:24:43,282
DONNA:
You think this'll go all night?
Maybe not.
598
00:24:43,315 --> 00:24:44,250
Turn up the volume.
599
00:24:44,283 --> 00:24:46,085
MAN:
Just getting word right now
600
00:24:46,118 --> 00:24:48,420
at this hour, we are prepared
now to call Vermont
601
00:24:48,454 --> 00:24:50,790
and its three electoral votes,
and Iowa,
602
00:24:50,823 --> 00:24:53,526
and its seven electoral votes,
for Senator Arnold Vinick.
603
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,928
A total of ten electoral votes
for Vinick.
604
00:24:55,962 --> 00:24:57,964
With both candidates'
home states
605
00:24:57,997 --> 00:24:59,198
of Texas and California
606
00:24:59,231 --> 00:25:00,733
decidedly up for grabs,
607
00:25:00,767 --> 00:25:02,468
those ten votes
could be decisive...
608
00:25:02,501 --> 00:25:04,270
Oh God, look at this.
609
00:25:04,303 --> 00:25:07,173
WOMAN ( on TV ):
We are calling the State
of Maine for Senator Vinick.
610
00:25:07,206 --> 00:25:09,676
Maine and its four
electoral votes now belong
611
00:25:09,709 --> 00:25:13,345
squarely in the red column,
Maine being a big and...
612
00:25:13,379 --> 00:25:14,681
( applause )
All right, thanks.
613
00:25:14,714 --> 00:25:16,749
Appreciate it. Huh?
614
00:25:16,783 --> 00:25:18,450
Not yet, my friend,
not yet.
615
00:25:18,484 --> 00:25:19,652
That was the Speaker.
616
00:25:19,686 --> 00:25:21,954
They just called the
Maine second for Zolosky.
617
00:25:21,988 --> 00:25:23,255
We lost the House.
618
00:25:23,289 --> 00:25:25,758
South Carolina Statehouse,
Illinois and Colorado, too.
619
00:25:25,792 --> 00:25:27,226
How'd the Speaker sound?
620
00:25:27,259 --> 00:25:28,828
He sounded unemployed.
621
00:25:28,861 --> 00:25:30,563
MAN:
...President Jed Bartlet,
closed hours ago,
622
00:25:30,597 --> 00:25:34,433
and the state remains too close
to call at this time.
623
00:25:34,466 --> 00:25:37,136
And now, with over 85%
624
00:25:37,169 --> 00:25:39,205
of polling places now in,
625
00:25:39,238 --> 00:25:40,740
we are prepared to call Texas
626
00:25:40,773 --> 00:25:44,611
for native son,
Congressman Matthew Santos.
627
00:25:44,644 --> 00:25:46,879
34 electoral votes will be added
to the Santos...
628
00:25:46,913 --> 00:25:49,081
DONNA:
Are you sure
you don't want to wait
629
00:25:49,115 --> 00:25:49,882
until we hear...?
630
00:25:49,916 --> 00:25:51,483
Hey, who cares
what we're gonna hear?
631
00:25:51,517 --> 00:25:52,719
He won his home state.
632
00:25:52,752 --> 00:25:54,120
Worst-case,
he's Governor, Senator.
633
00:25:54,153 --> 00:25:56,889
He can clear as much brush
as he wants. Let's go right now.
634
00:25:56,923 --> 00:25:57,924
( whooping )
Hook 'em, Horns.
635
00:25:57,957 --> 00:26:00,092
RONNA:
34 electoral votes.
636
00:26:00,126 --> 00:26:02,762
Who needs Maine and the crummy
maple syrup caucus?
637
00:26:02,795 --> 00:26:04,296
That's Vermont.
Yeah, them, too.
638
00:26:04,330 --> 00:26:06,933
* Deep in the heart of Texas
( Ronna whooping )
639
00:26:06,966 --> 00:26:09,936
* The prairie sky
is wide and high *
640
00:26:09,969 --> 00:26:11,704
( clapping )
641
00:26:11,738 --> 00:26:14,006
* Deep in the heart of Texas
642
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:18,144
* The sage in bloom
is like perfume *
643
00:26:18,177 --> 00:26:19,045
( clapping )
644
00:26:19,078 --> 00:26:21,447
* Deep in the heart
of Texas... *
645
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,749
It's all down to
California now.
646
00:26:22,782 --> 00:26:24,150
Have you seen Josh?
647
00:26:24,183 --> 00:26:25,317
Not in a while.
648
00:26:25,351 --> 00:26:26,753
( clapping )
649
00:26:26,786 --> 00:26:29,488
* Deep in the heart
of Texas... *
650
00:26:29,521 --> 00:26:31,323
( elevator bell dings )
651
00:26:39,632 --> 00:26:41,400
Have you seen Josh Lyman?
652
00:26:41,433 --> 00:26:43,035
Thank you.
653
00:27:08,627 --> 00:27:10,262
( sniffles )
654
00:27:10,296 --> 00:27:12,131
I called housekeeping.
655
00:27:12,164 --> 00:27:13,966
I don't want Mallory...
656
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,601
( sniffles )
657
00:27:15,634 --> 00:27:17,737
coming here and finding
the paramedic stuff.
658
00:27:20,539 --> 00:27:22,308
We won Texas.
659
00:27:23,575 --> 00:27:26,012
California would
put us over.
660
00:27:27,747 --> 00:27:29,682
You've done a remarkable thing.
661
00:27:29,716 --> 00:27:33,652
Win or lose,
an extraordinary thing.
662
00:27:33,686 --> 00:27:36,923
I talked him into this,
into joining the ticket.
663
00:27:36,956 --> 00:27:39,325
Nobody ever talked Leo
into doing anything
664
00:27:39,358 --> 00:27:40,827
he didn't want to do.
665
00:27:40,860 --> 00:27:43,395
And he'd want you upstairs.
666
00:27:43,429 --> 00:27:45,631
Not down here.
667
00:27:45,664 --> 00:27:49,068
You belong up there,
it's your night.
668
00:27:51,370 --> 00:27:53,172
He was so proud
of you, Josh.
669
00:27:58,510 --> 00:28:00,747
MAN ( on TV ):
The Republican base
must have been pleased
670
00:28:00,780 --> 00:28:02,381
as they watched
the actual results come in.
671
00:28:02,414 --> 00:28:05,184
If I lose California, that's it.
Take my marbles and go home.
672
00:28:05,217 --> 00:28:07,119
BRUNO:
You are not going
to lose California.
673
00:28:07,153 --> 00:28:08,654
MAYER:
We should've spent
more time there.
674
00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:09,655
JANE:
Well, we didn't.
675
00:28:09,688 --> 00:28:10,757
BRUNO:
Spent more time where?
676
00:28:10,790 --> 00:28:12,124
The south, which we won,
hands-down.
677
00:28:12,158 --> 00:28:13,125
Not South Carolina.
678
00:28:13,159 --> 00:28:15,194
With a Democratic Governor
who probably filled out
679
00:28:15,227 --> 00:28:16,896
every Santos ballot by hand?
How are we possibly...?
680
00:28:16,929 --> 00:28:17,997
MAYER:
We can challenge
this in court.
681
00:28:18,030 --> 00:28:19,231
Find a few precincts out west
682
00:28:19,265 --> 00:28:21,033
where McGarry was the reason
they voted Democrat.
683
00:28:21,067 --> 00:28:23,169
They'll laugh you out
of the courthouse.
684
00:28:23,202 --> 00:28:24,470
What are you gonna seek?
685
00:28:24,503 --> 00:28:26,472
Everybody, shut up.
686
00:28:26,505 --> 00:28:28,140
This is not about Leo McGarry.
687
00:28:28,174 --> 00:28:30,142
That's not why we're weak
in Southern California.
688
00:28:30,176 --> 00:28:32,044
It's San Andreo.
689
00:28:32,078 --> 00:28:33,913
MAYER:
Your support
of nuclear power
690
00:28:33,946 --> 00:28:36,749
isn't why we were weak in Texas,
weak in New Mexico, weak in...
691
00:28:36,783 --> 00:28:38,550
The hell it isn't.
692
00:28:38,584 --> 00:28:40,086
This isn't about skin color.
693
00:28:40,119 --> 00:28:43,155
Aids say the mood here
was improving...
694
00:28:43,189 --> 00:28:45,157
Sometimes the voters
don't decide.
695
00:28:45,191 --> 00:28:46,492
Circumstance decides,
history decides.
696
00:28:46,525 --> 00:28:49,528
MAYER:
All right, let me...
697
00:28:49,561 --> 00:28:51,297
let me at least
talk to the lawyers.
698
00:28:51,330 --> 00:28:53,800
Hodder's got a team
meeting downstairs.
699
00:28:53,833 --> 00:28:57,136
You have a number
where I can reach Santos?
700
00:28:57,169 --> 00:28:59,605
JANE:
It is too premature
to start
701
00:28:59,638 --> 00:29:02,441
talking about calling...
I want a number.
I'm gonna dial it
702
00:29:02,474 --> 00:29:05,377
as soon as they call California,
and I want my daughter in here.
703
00:29:05,411 --> 00:29:07,346
Where is she?
She's putting your
grandkids to bed.
704
00:29:07,379 --> 00:29:09,381
BRUNO:
Turn up the TV.
What?
705
00:29:09,415 --> 00:29:10,482
Turn up
the damn television.
706
00:29:10,516 --> 00:29:11,918
...Turning tide.
707
00:29:11,951 --> 00:29:13,886
...Ironically, Vinick's
experiencing a small surge
708
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,823
in late balloting,
possibly due to the death
709
00:29:16,856 --> 00:29:19,291
of Democratic Vice Presidential
candidate Leo McGarry
710
00:29:19,325 --> 00:29:22,628
and showing a great deal
of strength in the north
711
00:29:22,661 --> 00:29:24,696
to offset predictably
low turnout
712
00:29:24,730 --> 00:29:25,998
in San Diego County
713
00:29:26,032 --> 00:29:28,300
near the site of last month's
nuclear accident.
714
00:29:28,334 --> 00:29:31,037
I'm sure that Vinick never
anticipated winning
715
00:29:31,070 --> 00:29:33,672
after the catastrophic
nuclear accident
716
00:29:33,705 --> 00:29:35,674
in California a few weeks ago.
717
00:29:35,707 --> 00:29:37,810
Some Websites went as far
as to predict
718
00:29:37,844 --> 00:29:40,012
that Vinick was the loser
of this election.
719
00:29:40,046 --> 00:29:42,714
We are now ready
to call California
720
00:29:42,748 --> 00:29:43,983
for Arnold Vinick
721
00:29:44,016 --> 00:29:47,854
by what appears
to be over 80,000 votes.
722
00:29:47,887 --> 00:29:50,556
Senator Vinick is the winner
in his home state,
723
00:29:50,589 --> 00:29:52,491
a burst of oxygen
for a campaign...
724
00:29:52,524 --> 00:29:54,093
What's left?
Oregon and Nevada.
725
00:29:54,126 --> 00:29:55,094
BRAM:
Vinick wins
either one...
726
00:29:55,127 --> 00:29:56,762
RONNA:
We have to
win them both.
727
00:29:56,795 --> 00:29:58,197
JOSH:
Every lawyer we got,
728
00:29:58,230 --> 00:30:02,001
get them on planes
to Oregon and Nevada!
729
00:30:08,307 --> 00:30:11,110
NEWSCASTER:
It's hard to say if the election
730
00:30:11,143 --> 00:30:14,914
Oregon and Nevada, a meager 12
electoral votes between them,
731
00:30:14,947 --> 00:30:16,983
are all that separate
one of these two men
732
00:30:17,016 --> 00:30:18,684
from the presidency...
733
00:30:18,717 --> 00:30:20,719
REPORTER 2:
This election has been predicted
for weeks now.
734
00:30:20,752 --> 00:30:22,021
It'll be one of the closest
elections
735
00:30:22,054 --> 00:30:23,555
we've seen in recent years.
736
00:30:23,589 --> 00:30:26,558
Both camps have been prepared
for a protracted legal battle,
737
00:30:26,592 --> 00:30:28,995
though both are still hopeful
that their candidate
738
00:30:29,028 --> 00:30:31,797
will prevail tonight,
once the final tallies are in...
739
00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:35,367
REPORTER 3:
In Nevada, more than 90%
of the precincts have reported,
740
00:30:35,401 --> 00:30:39,571
and in Oregon,
that number is more like 92%,
741
00:30:39,605 --> 00:30:40,572
an
to have won their home states,
742
00:30:40,606 --> 00:30:41,740
which, in the case
of Matt Santos,
743
00:30:41,773 --> 00:30:42,808
could be a springboard
for a future second run
744
00:30:42,841 --> 00:30:44,110
at the presidency
or statewide office.
745
00:30:44,143 --> 00:30:47,179
Arnold Vinick, having retired
from his senate seat,
746
00:30:47,213 --> 00:30:49,415
may be facing a much different
kind of retirement
747
00:30:49,448 --> 00:30:50,716
if he doesn't come up
748
00:30:50,749 --> 00:30:52,518
with those four more
electoral votes tonight.
749
00:30:52,551 --> 00:30:55,754
Four votes that could make him
the leader of the free world,
750
00:30:55,787 --> 00:30:56,923
the leader of western world.
751
00:30:56,956 --> 00:30:58,557
This could be for Vinick
( knock at door )
752
00:30:58,590 --> 00:31:01,227
the final political chess move
of his career.
( knock at door )
753
00:31:12,638 --> 00:31:14,073
BRAM:
Congressman?
754
00:31:14,106 --> 00:31:16,142
After 25 years in the federal
political arena...
755
00:31:16,175 --> 00:31:17,876
Do you have
a concession speech ready?
756
00:31:17,910 --> 00:31:19,245
You're not going
to need it.
757
00:31:19,278 --> 00:31:22,548
Make sure you have language
about how this wasn't
758
00:31:22,581 --> 00:31:24,250
a racial or ethnic thing.
759
00:31:24,283 --> 00:31:27,053
Let's all join hands
and unite behind, you know...
760
00:31:27,086 --> 00:31:28,520
LOU:
Yes, sir.
761
00:31:28,554 --> 00:31:30,289
Thank you, Congressman.
762
00:31:30,322 --> 00:31:32,891
Bram, make sure
I have a direct number
763
00:31:32,925 --> 00:31:35,661
for Senator Vinick
in Los Angeles.
764
00:31:38,197 --> 00:31:39,932
LOU:
Hey, don't give
him Vinick's number
765
00:31:39,966 --> 00:31:41,600
without talking
to me first.
766
00:31:41,633 --> 00:31:44,937
He just said he wants me
to get...
If I didn't know
what he said,
767
00:31:44,971 --> 00:31:46,438
why would I be tell
you to ignore it?
768
00:31:48,507 --> 00:31:50,809
More coffee?
769
00:31:50,842 --> 00:31:52,878
I was just gonna
mainline adrenaline.
770
00:31:52,911 --> 00:31:55,414
I couldn't find a clean needle.
771
00:31:55,447 --> 00:31:58,184
When this is over,
we should go into
business together.
772
00:31:58,217 --> 00:32:01,387
Ying and Yang
Political Consultants, Inc.
773
00:32:01,420 --> 00:32:04,590
Our motto can be:
"It ain't about the ideals;
774
00:32:04,623 --> 00:32:06,092
it's about the money,
stupid."
775
00:32:06,125 --> 00:32:08,194
( laughs ):
Pithy.
776
00:32:08,227 --> 00:32:10,362
You don't think it might
scare off prospective clients?
777
00:32:10,396 --> 00:32:12,331
Only the neophytes.
778
00:32:12,364 --> 00:32:15,834
We'd be fighting off five-term
Congressmen with a stick.
779
00:32:15,867 --> 00:32:18,704
Seriously,
we should talk about it.
780
00:32:18,737 --> 00:32:20,139
You're not going
with the Senator?
781
00:32:20,172 --> 00:32:22,174
Tiny cubicle
in the West Wing,
782
00:32:22,208 --> 00:32:24,543
your own table
at the Oval Room,
783
00:32:24,576 --> 00:32:25,777
guaranteed spot
784
00:32:25,811 --> 00:32:28,080
in every book index
for the next four years?
785
00:32:28,114 --> 00:32:30,616
Not much of a "make the trains
run on time" kind of guy.
786
00:32:30,649 --> 00:32:34,420
I like the gladiatorial arena,
two candidates whacking away
787
00:32:34,453 --> 00:32:37,223
at each other
with a healthy ad buy.
788
00:32:37,256 --> 00:32:39,491
Thanks.
789
00:32:39,525 --> 00:32:40,559
But I am done.
790
00:32:40,592 --> 00:32:42,361
I'm going home.
791
00:32:42,394 --> 00:32:43,829
Yeah? Where's home?
792
00:32:43,862 --> 00:32:46,365
Upstate New York,
Essex County.
793
00:32:46,398 --> 00:32:48,667
Bought a big house
on the Hudson there
794
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:49,968
that I never get to see.
795
00:32:51,037 --> 00:32:55,241
I was thinking about
planting some flowers...
796
00:32:55,274 --> 00:32:58,344
putter around the
garden a little.
797
00:32:58,377 --> 00:32:59,678
Flowers.
798
00:33:02,781 --> 00:33:04,150
We're ahead by 2,000
votes in Oregon.
799
00:33:04,183 --> 00:33:06,452
Anything less than 3,500,
is an automatic recount.
800
00:33:06,485 --> 00:33:08,520
Nevada, we're behind
by a few hundred,
801
00:33:08,554 --> 00:33:10,389
but anyone can request
a recount, so it's...
802
00:33:10,422 --> 00:33:12,324
Yeah.
GOODWIN:
We have legal teams
803
00:33:12,358 --> 00:33:14,593
on the ground now
both in Salem and Carson City.
804
00:33:14,626 --> 00:33:16,895
HELEN:
So do the Republicans.
We need to talk about
805
00:33:16,928 --> 00:33:18,330
a possible legal challenge
from the law firm
806
00:33:18,364 --> 00:33:20,232
of Vinick, Vinick and Vinick,
in case we win.
807
00:33:20,266 --> 00:33:21,933
GOODWIN:
Oregon is ripe
for a challenge.
808
00:33:21,967 --> 00:33:23,569
KAGAN:
Nevada's got a large
number of seniors
809
00:33:23,602 --> 00:33:25,671
with winter homes--
how many of them voted
in their home states?
810
00:33:25,704 --> 00:33:27,539
GOODWIN:
10,000 voters had
absentee ballots
811
00:33:27,573 --> 00:33:29,341
both in New York and
Florida four years ago.
812
00:33:29,375 --> 00:33:31,643
KAGAN:
We've had some
reports of voter fraud
813
00:33:31,677 --> 00:33:33,379
on Indian reservations,
intimidation of Latino voters...
814
00:33:33,412 --> 00:33:35,914
But that's just
a few complaints.
815
00:33:35,947 --> 00:33:37,349
A few might be all we need.
816
00:33:37,383 --> 00:33:38,884
SANTOS:
If that's how I win,
it gives me a mandate
817
00:33:38,917 --> 00:33:40,186
for what, chasing ambulances?
818
00:33:40,219 --> 00:33:41,487
( shouting in other room )
819
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,055
What the hell is that?
820
00:33:43,089 --> 00:33:44,623
We just won Oregon.
821
00:33:44,656 --> 00:33:45,491
MAN:
All right!
822
00:33:45,524 --> 00:33:48,094
( applause )
823
00:33:48,127 --> 00:33:50,129
It all comes down to Nevada.
824
00:33:50,162 --> 00:33:51,830
"Winner takes all"
has always been a part
825
00:33:51,863 --> 00:33:55,234
of the Silver State's ethos, but
what happens in Nevada tonight
826
00:33:55,267 --> 00:33:57,336
certainly won't stay in Nevada,
827
00:33:57,369 --> 00:33:59,171
as the nation's
future president is...
828
00:33:59,205 --> 00:34:01,940
MAYER:
We decimated
our field operation in Nevada.
829
00:34:01,973 --> 00:34:02,974
SHEILA:
To move it to California,
830
00:34:03,008 --> 00:34:05,811
where we won by
only 80,000 votes.
831
00:34:05,844 --> 00:34:07,146
JANE:
We should have taken
the bodies
832
00:34:07,179 --> 00:34:10,182
from anywhere but Nevada.
833
00:34:10,216 --> 00:34:12,451
The RNC has a team
of lawyers waiting outside.
834
00:34:12,484 --> 00:34:14,653
They want to file for a recount
in Nevada immediately
835
00:34:14,686 --> 00:34:15,887
if Santos wins.
836
00:34:15,921 --> 00:34:18,424
No.
BRUNO:
If Santos wins Nevada,
837
00:34:18,457 --> 00:34:20,659
it'll be by maybe 10,000,
20,000 votes.
838
00:34:20,692 --> 00:34:22,628
There are over a
million registered...
No.
839
00:34:22,661 --> 00:34:25,531
SHEILA:
I know you don't want
one of those junk lawsuits
840
00:34:25,564 --> 00:34:27,032
that you rail about
in speeches...
841
00:34:27,065 --> 00:34:28,234
Damn right, I don't.
This isn't that.
842
00:34:29,368 --> 00:34:32,804
who they voted for, this is
about taking a few extra daysg
843
00:34:32,838 --> 00:34:34,373
to ensure that our voters
were heard.
844
00:34:34,406 --> 00:34:36,575
BRUNO:
Thousands of voters
in Nevada are sunbirds.
845
00:34:36,608 --> 00:34:37,809
They're registered
in other states, too.
846
00:34:37,843 --> 00:34:39,010
More than four years ago,
847
00:34:39,044 --> 00:34:40,879
over 10,000
New York...
848
00:34:40,912 --> 00:34:43,749
I'll be a winner,
or I'll be a loser.
849
00:34:43,782 --> 00:34:45,784
I won't be a sore loser.
850
00:34:45,817 --> 00:34:47,986
Senator, if you win, believe me,
the Santos people
851
00:34:48,019 --> 00:34:49,455
are going to be filing a lawsuit
852
00:34:49,488 --> 00:34:51,190
before the Secretary
of State of Nevada
853
00:34:51,223 --> 00:34:52,558
is finished reading the results.
854
00:34:52,591 --> 00:34:54,226
Sir, this is it.
855
00:34:54,260 --> 00:34:57,763
There are no second acts in
American politics, not anymore.
856
00:34:57,796 --> 00:35:00,031
You hate this, we all hate this,
but if this happens
857
00:35:00,065 --> 00:35:01,200
and you don't challenge it,
858
00:35:01,233 --> 00:35:03,902
you're going to wake up
in a week, maybe two,
859
00:35:03,935 --> 00:35:07,206
and regret it
for the rest of your life.
860
00:35:16,482 --> 00:35:18,250
Hey.
861
00:35:19,318 --> 00:35:20,752
Congressman, you need something?
862
00:35:20,786 --> 00:35:22,221
No, no.
863
00:35:22,254 --> 00:35:24,022
I had to get
out of that room.
864
00:35:24,055 --> 00:35:29,561
Same ol' talking heads babbling
the same drivel to fill airtime.
865
00:35:29,595 --> 00:35:31,930
They could just run it
on a continuous loop.
866
00:35:31,963 --> 00:35:33,999
No one would
notice tonight.
867
00:35:34,032 --> 00:35:38,136
Did we even
campaign in Nevada?
868
00:35:38,170 --> 00:35:39,605
I seem to vaguely
remember something
869
00:35:39,638 --> 00:35:41,840
about a convention center
a couple of months back.
870
00:35:41,873 --> 00:35:43,242
It was an airplane hangar.
871
00:35:43,275 --> 00:35:45,211
We were on the ground
about 20 minutes.
872
00:35:45,244 --> 00:35:47,313
I should have had you move there
a couple of years ago...
873
00:35:47,346 --> 00:35:50,148
maybe even headline a show
at the MGM Grand.
874
00:35:50,182 --> 00:35:52,484
Yeah, well, who knew?
875
00:35:53,552 --> 00:35:55,153
Barry Goodwin
and the lawyers
876
00:35:55,187 --> 00:35:56,655
are planning a
march on Washington
877
00:35:56,688 --> 00:35:57,889
if we don't win.
878
00:35:57,923 --> 00:36:00,192
What do you think?
879
00:36:00,226 --> 00:36:02,093
I think you got
some of the best legal minds
880
00:36:02,127 --> 00:36:03,695
in the party in there...
Come on.
881
00:36:03,729 --> 00:36:05,464
Straight up.
882
00:36:07,733 --> 00:36:10,168
I think you're young,
883
00:36:10,202 --> 00:36:13,372
smart, the party's
presumptive nominee
884
00:36:13,405 --> 00:36:15,641
four years from now,
win or lose.
885
00:36:15,674 --> 00:36:18,277
You take it to court,
886
00:36:18,310 --> 00:36:20,111
you're the guy
who screams at the ump
887
00:36:20,145 --> 00:36:21,980
'cause they don't like the call
at the plate.
888
00:36:22,013 --> 00:36:23,249
Nobody votes
for that guy again.
889
00:36:49,708 --> 00:36:51,577
Been a hell of a ride,
though, hasn't it?
890
00:36:51,610 --> 00:36:52,844
Yeah.
891
00:36:54,913 --> 00:36:56,348
It has.
892
00:36:57,616 --> 00:36:59,318
Congressman?
893
00:36:59,351 --> 00:37:04,022
We think they're getting
ready to call Nevada.
894
00:37:04,055 --> 00:37:08,460
( phone ringing )
895
00:37:13,131 --> 00:37:14,933
BARTLET:
Yeah.
896
00:37:14,966 --> 00:37:18,904
( sighs )
Send her in.
897
00:37:18,937 --> 00:37:20,572
( hangs up phone )
898
00:37:22,641 --> 00:37:24,443
( knock at door )
Yeah!
899
00:37:25,511 --> 00:37:27,379
Sorry to disturb you,
Mr. President.
900
00:37:27,413 --> 00:37:29,715
You wanted me to wake you
when there was a result.
901
00:37:29,748 --> 00:37:32,918
Do we have a winner?
902
00:37:32,951 --> 00:37:34,753
Yes, sir, we do.
903
00:37:34,786 --> 00:37:35,987
( crowd cheering )
904
00:37:53,204 --> 00:37:56,041
( cheering continues )
905
00:38:02,348 --> 00:38:03,849
( mouthing )
906
00:38:03,882 --> 00:38:05,451
( mouthing )
907
00:38:05,484 --> 00:38:07,052
( rhythmic clapping )
908
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,221
JANE:
It's only 30,000 votes.
909
00:38:10,255 --> 00:38:12,223
BRUNO:
You have to challenge it.
910
00:38:12,257 --> 00:38:13,759
SHEILA:
Shall I bring
in the lawyers?
911
00:38:13,792 --> 00:38:14,693
They're waiting outside.
912
00:38:14,726 --> 00:38:18,430
You really think
it's a counting error?
913
00:38:18,464 --> 00:38:21,600
Anybody know how many Hispanics
live in Nevada now?
914
00:38:21,633 --> 00:38:23,234
Yeah.
915
00:38:23,268 --> 00:38:24,970
How many of them are illegal?
916
00:38:36,247 --> 00:38:38,450
Get the president-elect
on the phone.
917
00:38:42,988 --> 00:38:45,624
I want to congratulate him.
918
00:38:45,657 --> 00:38:49,160
( deafening cheering )
919
00:38:49,194 --> 00:38:53,465
LOU ( over speaker ):
Ladies and gentlemen, can I have
your attention, please?
920
00:38:53,499 --> 00:38:55,100
( U2's "Beautiful Day"
plays in over speaker )
921
00:38:55,133 --> 00:38:56,902
You've heard me say it before,
922
00:38:56,935 --> 00:39:00,171
and I have meant it
every single time.
923
00:39:00,205 --> 00:39:01,172
Speech is on the podium.
924
00:39:01,206 --> 00:39:02,708
Thanks, Bram.
925
00:39:02,741 --> 00:39:03,842
Now, it has the voice
of millions,
926
00:39:03,875 --> 00:39:05,477
and has the force of law.
For everything.
927
00:39:05,511 --> 00:39:07,679
It's the best thing
I've ever done in my life.
928
00:39:07,713 --> 00:39:08,714
Please help me welcome
the next president
929
00:39:08,747 --> 00:39:09,981
I think we may find
a way to top it.
930
00:39:10,015 --> 00:39:13,018
of these United States
and the next First Lady,
931
00:39:13,051 --> 00:39:17,656
Matthew and Helen Santos.
932
00:39:17,689 --> 00:39:20,926
( "Beautiful Day" playing)
(cheering )
933
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,369
* Take me to that other place
934
00:39:31,403 --> 00:39:35,173
* Teach me, ooh
935
00:39:35,206 --> 00:39:38,877
* I know I'm not
a hopeless case *
936
00:39:46,284 --> 00:39:49,187
* See the world
in green and blue... *
937
00:39:49,220 --> 00:39:51,156
( music stops )
938
00:39:51,189 --> 00:39:53,391
Thank you!
939
00:39:53,425 --> 00:39:56,361
Thank you so very much.
940
00:39:56,394 --> 00:39:57,729
Thank you...
941
00:39:57,763 --> 00:40:00,432
And thanks for sticking around
all night.
942
00:40:00,466 --> 00:40:03,569
You know, if you haven't
left this room in a while,
943
00:40:03,602 --> 00:40:04,936
the sun is coming up!
944
00:40:04,970 --> 00:40:07,806
( chuckles )
( applause and cheering )
945
00:40:07,839 --> 00:40:10,609
( over TV ):
First, I want to say
a special word of thanks
946
00:40:10,642 --> 00:40:14,813
to Senator Vinick,
and I ask you all to join me
947
00:40:14,846 --> 00:40:18,049
in applauding his lifetime
of service.
948
00:40:18,083 --> 00:40:20,852
( applause and cheering )
949
00:40:20,886 --> 00:40:23,321
Arnie Vinick made this
a better campaign,
950
00:40:23,354 --> 00:40:24,923
and he's made this
a better country
951
00:40:24,956 --> 00:40:26,324
for all of us.
952
00:40:26,357 --> 00:40:29,861
( applause and cheering )
953
00:40:31,129 --> 00:40:35,366
My father was a barber,
my mother a domestic servant.
954
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,003
And I never dreamed
that I'd have this chance
955
00:40:38,036 --> 00:40:41,907
to serve so many people
in so many ways.
( applause and cheering )
956
00:40:41,940 --> 00:40:45,644
( over TV ):
It would be easy for me
to stand here
957
00:40:45,677 --> 00:40:48,514
and claim a sweeping mandate
958
00:40:48,547 --> 00:40:49,548
for the next four years.
959
00:40:49,581 --> 00:40:50,682
I can't do that.
960
00:40:50,716 --> 00:40:54,185
This was a razor-thin election.
961
00:40:54,219 --> 00:40:57,656
My intention is to be
the president of everyone,
962
00:40:57,689 --> 00:40:59,691
black or brown, yellow or white;
963
00:40:59,725 --> 00:41:02,561
Republican or Democratic.
( applause and cheering )
964
00:41:02,594 --> 00:41:04,462
I've got a lot of reaching out
to do.
965
00:41:04,496 --> 00:41:06,532
America has become
more polarized.
966
00:41:06,565 --> 00:41:08,667
You can't run for president
and not see that.
967
00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:10,368
Our votes may have been divided,
968
00:41:10,401 --> 00:41:12,303
but our country
will not be divided.
969
00:41:12,337 --> 00:41:15,507
( applause and cheering )
970
00:41:15,541 --> 00:41:17,576
Because, ultimately,
it's not about left or right.
971
00:41:17,609 --> 00:41:19,845
It's about doing right.
972
00:41:19,878 --> 00:41:23,114
( applause and cheering )
973
00:41:23,148 --> 00:41:26,918
Together, we're going to lift up
those who have been left out.
974
00:41:26,952 --> 00:41:30,722
We are going to ensure
that the promise of America
975
00:41:30,756 --> 00:41:32,290
is not the privilege of the few
976
00:41:32,323 --> 00:41:34,392
but the birthright
of all Americans.
977
00:41:34,425 --> 00:41:36,662
I am more grateful
than I can say.
978
00:41:36,695 --> 00:41:39,565
You have given me an opportunity
that comes to few people.
979
00:41:39,598 --> 00:41:41,399
Perhaps fewer are worthy of it.
980
00:41:41,432 --> 00:41:44,536
God bless you,
and God bless America.
981
00:41:44,570 --> 00:41:48,239
( thunderous applause
and cheering )
982
00:41:48,273 --> 00:41:49,841
Thanks, boss.
