1
00:00:05,632 --> 00:00:07,259
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:07,509 --> 00:00:10,595
Five U.S. DEA agents
have been abducted in Colombia.
3
00:00:10,846 --> 00:00:14,057
The government has no control
over the region. There is no law.
4
00:00:14,307 --> 00:00:17,102
And they're gonna shoot them
in the head and have a parade.
5
00:00:17,352 --> 00:00:19,688
In three hours I want to
kick in the back door.
6
00:00:19,938 --> 00:00:22,733
- When do I see numbers?
- There's a 17 percent response rate.
7
00:00:22,983 --> 00:00:25,485
- When do I see numbers?
- In five minutes.
8
00:00:27,446 --> 00:00:29,281
It may take a little longer now.
9
00:00:29,531 --> 00:00:31,074
- You mad at me?
- We had a deal.
10
00:00:31,950 --> 00:00:35,996
When did you decide you were gonna
run for a second term?
11

12
00:00:49,926 --> 00:00:51,136
Mr. President.
13
00:00:51,803 --> 00:00:54,764
It was just three hours ago
I gave the State of the Union.
14
00:00:54,973 --> 00:00:56,850
- Yeah.
- You believe that?
15
00:00:57,100 --> 00:00:59,436
What are you doing?
It's freezing out here.
16
00:00:59,644 --> 00:01:01,688
I'm not allowed
to smoke inside anymore.
17
00:01:01,897 --> 00:01:04,941
I thought you were allowed to do
pretty much whatever you want.
18
00:01:05,525 --> 00:01:09,196
Up to the point where you accidentally
burn holes in priceless antiques.
19
00:01:09,404 --> 00:01:11,531
- You should stop smoking.
- Why?
20
00:01:11,740 --> 00:01:14,493
- You'll live longer.
- I smoke two cigarettes a day.
21
00:01:14,701 --> 00:01:18,497
- It's a bad example.
- For who, Russian spy satellites?
22
00:01:18,705 --> 00:01:22,417
George Bernard Shaw said, "You don't
live longer. It just seems longer. "
23
00:01:22,626 --> 00:01:24,586
I'm not sure it was Shaw.
24
00:01:25,253 --> 00:01:26,838
I'm not sure it was either.
25
00:01:27,088 --> 00:01:29,341
- Is it time?
- Yeah.
26
00:01:34,721 --> 00:01:36,056
Ten hut!
27
00:01:38,183 --> 00:01:39,476
Where are we?
28
00:01:39,684 --> 00:01:44,314
Sir, a C-141 with two Delta Force
teams has been in the air for 85 minutes.
29
00:01:44,522 --> 00:01:47,984
- What happens when I give the order?
- They'll enter Colombian airspace.
30
00:01:48,193 --> 00:01:51,488
At the same time, a 19-man unit,
a Special Forces Alpha team...
31
00:01:51,696 --> 00:01:55,283
...that's already on the ground at
Tres Encinas, will head to Villacerreno.
32
00:01:55,492 --> 00:01:57,160
What do they do when they get there?
33
00:01:57,410 --> 00:02:00,121
They'll hike 11 miles
into the jungle and hold still.
34
00:02:00,372 --> 00:02:02,415
- Why?
- It'll be daylight by then.
35
00:02:02,666 --> 00:02:05,669
Nineteen guys have to lie
face-down in the jungle till sunset?
36
00:02:05,877 --> 00:02:07,629
That's when the hostages will be moved.
37
00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:10,924
- And that's when we go.
- They're moving the hostages where?
38
00:02:11,132 --> 00:02:14,052
From the Tasco outpost
to the Frente command center.
39
00:02:14,302 --> 00:02:15,679
- On foot?
- Yeah.
40
00:02:15,929 --> 00:02:20,308
10. 7 kilometers down the road,
there's a plateau called Mesa Del Oro.
41
00:02:20,517 --> 00:02:22,769
That'll give the Deltas
maximum maneuverability.
42
00:02:23,019 --> 00:02:25,272
- The code name's Cassiopeia?
- Yes, sir.
43
00:02:25,522 --> 00:02:27,774
Mickey, you look like
you wanna say something.
44
00:02:27,983 --> 00:02:31,277
- Mr. President, I think you should wait.
- For what?
45
00:02:31,528 --> 00:02:33,613
To see how negotiations
continue with Guerra.
46
00:02:33,863 --> 00:02:36,366
Guerra wants Aguilar
out of a Colombian prison.
47
00:02:36,574 --> 00:02:40,203
Are there any other circumstances under
which he'll give these hostages back?
48
00:02:40,453 --> 00:02:41,997
- Possibly.
- Crap.
49
00:02:42,247 --> 00:02:45,709
If we keep talking, we don't risk
hostages getting shot in the rescue.
50
00:02:45,959 --> 00:02:50,213
What difference does it make if they're
shot during a rescue or at Villacerreno?
51
00:02:50,463 --> 00:02:53,133
We can keep them alive longer
if we let them be taken there.
52
00:02:53,383 --> 00:02:56,511
Are we gonna keep them alive longer
or will it just seem longer?
53
00:02:57,887 --> 00:02:58,930
Sir?
54
00:02:59,139 --> 00:03:01,599
I've reason to believe
they'll be tortured at Villacerreno.
55
00:03:01,808 --> 00:03:05,020
They're U S. drug agents. They know
things these people wanna know.
56
00:03:05,812 --> 00:03:09,190
Sir, the C-141 is approaching
Colombian airspace.
57
00:03:20,118 --> 00:03:21,286
Go.
58
00:04:08,458 --> 00:04:13,087
Tonight's State of the Union
contained 8747 words.
59
00:04:13,338 --> 00:04:16,716
It was second in length
only to his inaugural address...
60
00:04:16,925 --> 00:04:20,803
...and 75 minutes longer than
Washington's first address to Congress.
61
00:04:21,012 --> 00:04:24,474
Officer Sloan, would you be willing
to go on television tomorrow?
62
00:04:24,682 --> 00:04:27,560
- They knew how many words there were.
- In the speech?
63
00:04:27,810 --> 00:04:29,562
- About 8700?
- Yeah.
64
00:04:29,771 --> 00:04:33,900
- Would you be willing to go on TV?
- I think I'd really rather just go home.
65
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:37,237
This is gonna be a part of the news
by tomorrow night either way.
66
00:04:37,487 --> 00:04:38,488
How do you know?
67
00:04:38,696 --> 00:04:41,115
Same way I knew there were
8700 words in the speech.
68
00:04:41,366 --> 00:04:43,284
I have some experience at this.
69
00:04:43,493 --> 00:04:46,412
- What'll happen?
- You'll do a very quick satellite interview.
70
00:04:46,621 --> 00:04:49,040
"What was it like being
at the State of the Union? "
71
00:04:49,249 --> 00:04:50,333
" It was an honor. "
72
00:04:50,542 --> 00:04:56,673
"Talk about your act of heroism. "
" I wouldn't really call it heroism, but.... "
73
00:04:56,881 --> 00:05:00,051
" Now, I understand you had
some trouble back in the early '80s. "
74
00:05:00,260 --> 00:05:02,387
" I'm glad I have a chance
to talk about that. "
75
00:05:02,595 --> 00:05:05,765
And you tell your story
just like you told it to me.
76
00:05:06,641 --> 00:05:09,352
- Do I wear my uniform?
- Coat and tie.
77
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,020
Carol?
78
00:05:11,354 --> 00:05:15,024
Would you make sure Officer Sloan
gets back to his hotel?
79
00:05:15,358 --> 00:05:17,568
I'd like to thank all our guests tonight.
80
00:05:17,777 --> 00:05:22,448
Henry Shallick, David Satch, Toby
Ziegler, Bob Woodward, Jeff Greenfield...
81
00:05:22,699 --> 00:05:28,663
...C.J. Cregg and of course, the White
House for allowing us to broadcast live.
82
00:05:28,871 --> 00:05:32,667
You've been watching a special
expanded edition of Capitol Beat.
83
00:05:32,875 --> 00:05:36,379
I'm Mark Gottfried. Have a good night.
84
00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:38,006
We're out.
85
00:05:39,549 --> 00:05:41,509
Great job, everybody.
86
00:05:44,429 --> 00:05:46,389
- You said 20 minutes.
- I was in a meeting.
87
00:05:46,597 --> 00:05:48,141
- It's now 40.
- I was in a meeting.
88
00:05:48,349 --> 00:05:50,393
- At midnight?
- It's not midnight everywhere.
89
00:05:50,601 --> 00:05:52,395
- What's his story?
- He's innocent.
90
00:05:52,603 --> 00:05:53,730
You just decided?
91
00:05:53,938 --> 00:05:57,191
A grand jury, a DA and a civil court
judge decided 17 years ago.
92
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,028
Nobody brought charges,
and the civil suit was dismissed.
93
00:06:00,278 --> 00:06:02,739
- Then why on his record...?
- Detroit police cited him...
94
00:06:02,947 --> 00:06:05,324
...for excessive force to calm
the black community.
95
00:06:05,533 --> 00:06:07,702
It was a robbery. They were
jumping over walls.
96
00:06:07,910 --> 00:06:10,580
The guy's leg was already fractured
when Sloan got there.
97
00:06:10,788 --> 00:06:11,998
He's gonna do your show.
98
00:06:12,248 --> 00:06:14,333
- Is he doing everybody else's show too?
- No.
99
00:06:14,542 --> 00:06:17,420
- Why not?
- Because you waited 40 minutes.
100
00:06:26,387 --> 00:06:27,680
Hey.
101
00:06:29,891 --> 00:06:33,644
Bill Dryer from Gillette's office called.
He wants to have a meeting with you.
102
00:06:33,853 --> 00:06:36,022
- Dryer?
- Gillette.
103
00:06:41,486 --> 00:06:44,155
- I'll bet he wants a meeting with me.
- Yeah.
104
00:06:46,115 --> 00:06:48,284
It's not gonna happen.
It's not gonna happen.
105
00:06:48,534 --> 00:06:51,662
We got enough input from him
while we were writing the thing.
106
00:06:51,871 --> 00:06:53,748
- I don't need to hear...
- He's very upset.
107
00:06:53,956 --> 00:06:56,626
- I know, he's...
- More than we calculated.
108
00:06:56,834 --> 00:06:58,169
We've upset him.
109
00:06:58,377 --> 00:07:00,421
We have to learn
to live with that pain.
110
00:07:00,630 --> 00:07:01,923
He's not the president.
111
00:07:02,131 --> 00:07:05,009
He's a junior senator from
North Dakota where nobody lives...
112
00:07:05,218 --> 00:07:08,012
...because it's cold and they
don't have a sports franchise.
113
00:07:08,221 --> 00:07:10,139
Do I need to lay out
why he is important?
114
00:07:10,348 --> 00:07:12,016
- No.
- He is adored by the left.
115
00:07:12,225 --> 00:07:15,394
- Stop laying out the ways.
- He's our link to the environmentalists.
116
00:07:15,603 --> 00:07:19,190
Toby, asking for this meeting
isn't out of line, and you should take it.
117
00:07:19,398 --> 00:07:22,485
In fact, you should take it tomorrow
morning at 7:30 at the Hyatt.
118
00:07:22,693 --> 00:07:25,071
- You set it up already?
- Just the time and place.
119
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:29,200
- You expect me to explain myself to him?
- Yes. Yes, I do.
120
00:07:31,953 --> 00:07:33,496
- Fine.
- Toby.
121
00:07:33,704 --> 00:07:36,165
- C.J.
- 7:30.
122
00:07:36,415 --> 00:07:39,961
The Post is calling it "sleek,
challenging and oftentimes witty. "
123
00:07:40,169 --> 00:07:41,504
Not unlike myself.
124
00:07:41,712 --> 00:07:44,048
Who is Sloan and why
am I just hearing about this?
125
00:07:44,257 --> 00:07:45,925
Sloan was one of the invited guests.
126
00:07:46,133 --> 00:07:48,302
The one we stuck in over the weekend?
127
00:07:48,511 --> 00:07:51,847
A long time ago he was cited by
the Detroit police for excessive force.
128
00:07:52,056 --> 00:07:54,016
- Against a black suspect?
- Yeah.
129
00:07:54,225 --> 00:07:57,436
- How was this guy not vetted?
- Because it was last minute.
130
00:07:57,645 --> 00:08:00,606
- What are you doing about it?
- Gottfried's gonna interview him.
131
00:08:00,815 --> 00:08:02,733
- It's a bad idea.
- Why?
132
00:08:02,942 --> 00:08:05,528
Blacks won't react well
to our supporting a brutal cop.
133
00:08:05,736 --> 00:08:07,697
- He's not a brutal cop.
- Says you.
134
00:08:07,905 --> 00:08:11,534
Says me, a grand jury, two judges,
the district attorney and common sense.
135
00:08:11,742 --> 00:08:14,954
It's going public anyway, Toby.
Gottfried got the story on his own.
136
00:08:15,162 --> 00:08:18,416
- Fine. Where's Josh?
- He went back to the phone banks.
137
00:08:18,666 --> 00:08:20,459
- Is the electricity back on?
- No.
138
00:08:20,668 --> 00:08:23,754
- Then what's he doing there?
- Hoping the electricity goes on.
139
00:08:24,672 --> 00:08:26,424
Well, that ought to do it.
140
00:08:29,302 --> 00:08:31,304
- Josh?
- Yeah?
141
00:08:31,637 --> 00:08:34,557
- Can I tell you something about women?
- Oh, God, please don't.
142
00:08:34,807 --> 00:08:36,434
- We like to be wooed.
- Donna.
143
00:08:36,642 --> 00:08:38,853
- She wants you to ask her out.
- She doesn't.
144
00:08:39,103 --> 00:08:40,813
- You're missing the signs.
- I'm not.
145
00:08:41,063 --> 00:08:43,399
- I know a thing or two about love.
- No, you don't.
146
00:08:43,607 --> 00:08:45,651
- The signs.
- I'm thinking of firing you.
147
00:08:45,901 --> 00:08:49,447
- You've fired me twice. I'm impervious.
- Among other things.
148
00:08:50,531 --> 00:08:53,034
- We'll start over tomorrow night.
- Why?
149
00:08:53,242 --> 00:08:57,371
It's already 9:30 in California. The power
isn't on. We're missing half the window.
150
00:08:57,580 --> 00:08:59,915
- Joey.
- Pack it in.
151
00:09:03,210 --> 00:09:07,131
Okay. Folks, we'll start over
tomorrow night.
152
00:09:08,090 --> 00:09:10,092
- See you.
- Take it easy.
153
00:09:10,301 --> 00:09:11,802
Good night.
154
00:09:12,553 --> 00:09:14,347
So you have to wait another day.
155
00:09:14,555 --> 00:09:17,266
- I'm not good at waiting.
- No kidding.
156
00:09:17,475 --> 00:09:18,476
Donna.
157
00:09:18,684 --> 00:09:21,604
Why do you expect our polling
to be any different than others?
158
00:09:21,812 --> 00:09:25,149
We've got dial groups. We've got
CNN, USA Today. We've got Gallup.
159
00:09:25,357 --> 00:09:28,652
- Why's our poll gonna be different?
- We're asking different questions.
160
00:09:28,861 --> 00:09:30,446
I'll get your coat.
161
00:09:31,113 --> 00:09:32,490
By the way...
162
00:09:32,990 --> 00:09:35,367
...right there, back when
she said, "See you"...
163
00:09:35,576 --> 00:09:37,369
- ... that was a sign.
- You're fired.
164
00:09:37,578 --> 00:09:39,580
- Impervious.
- Yeah.
165
00:09:49,673 --> 00:09:51,592
- Mr. President?
- Yeah.
166
00:09:52,343 --> 00:09:54,887
You understand
we've got heating inside, right?
167
00:09:55,137 --> 00:09:57,223
This isn't cold. It's crisp.
168
00:09:57,431 --> 00:09:59,517
No, it's cold.
169
00:09:59,725 --> 00:10:01,936
Well, you're a big wussy.
170
00:10:09,235 --> 00:10:12,446
- Knight to king-4.
- It'll leave the bishop open.
171
00:10:12,655 --> 00:10:15,241
You're gonna sacrifice
the bishop for the queen's rook.
172
00:10:15,491 --> 00:10:18,077
- Where?
- Four moves down.
173
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:28,879
Abbey's pretty pissed at me.
174
00:10:29,088 --> 00:10:31,382
- How bad?
- Pretty bad.
175
00:10:31,632 --> 00:10:33,717
King's knight-3.
176
00:10:38,305 --> 00:10:42,685
I have this image in my mind of the dead
soldiers coming back from Vietnam...
177
00:10:42,935 --> 00:10:46,146
...the caskets coming off the plane,
but I don't know from where.
178
00:10:46,355 --> 00:10:50,109
- Television.
- The caskets coming off the plane?
179
00:10:52,319 --> 00:10:53,571
Are they down?
180
00:10:53,779 --> 00:10:56,907
Yeah, the Deltas landed in Tres Encinas.
181
00:10:57,116 --> 00:11:00,578
Alpha moved out, and they'll be
in Villacerreno at 0700.
182
00:11:00,828 --> 00:11:02,871
Where they wait.
183
00:11:03,414 --> 00:11:04,873
Yeah.
184
00:11:07,376 --> 00:11:09,295
I'll see you in the morning.
185
00:11:09,503 --> 00:11:11,630
Thank you, Mr. President.
186
00:11:30,316 --> 00:11:32,568
- Morning, Charlie.
- Morning, Mrs. Landingham.
187
00:11:32,776 --> 00:11:35,237
- Did you ever solve the mystery?
- Of the $500 check?
188
00:11:35,446 --> 00:11:36,488
- Yeah.
- Yes, I did.
189
00:11:36,697 --> 00:11:38,324
- I solved the mystery.
- What was it?
190
00:11:38,532 --> 00:11:41,535
- I'm a mystery solver.
- That's wonderful, sweetie. What was it?
191
00:11:41,744 --> 00:11:44,455
Mrs. Bartlet wrote the check
to a woman she read about...
192
00:11:44,663 --> 00:11:46,624
...who's now living in a women's shelter.
193
00:11:46,832 --> 00:11:48,709
You know why
she never cashed the check?
194
00:11:48,917 --> 00:11:52,046
Because it was from the First Lady,
and she had it framed instead?
195
00:11:52,254 --> 00:11:54,089
- That was the mystery.
- It's a good one.
196
00:11:54,298 --> 00:11:57,092
Does the president know he has
breakfast with Josh and Sam?
197
00:11:57,301 --> 00:11:59,720
He's on his way.
It was a good mystery.
198
00:11:59,928 --> 00:12:02,931
You solved it fast because I loosened
the ketchup bottle for you.
199
00:12:03,140 --> 00:12:04,850
- Okay.
- Okay.
200
00:12:05,476 --> 00:12:07,770
- Can I tell you something strange?
- Sure.
201
00:12:07,978 --> 00:12:10,064
All last night at the phone banks...
202
00:12:10,272 --> 00:12:13,067
...Donna was telling me
I should ask Joey Lucas out.
203
00:12:13,275 --> 00:12:14,985
You should.
204
00:12:15,194 --> 00:12:18,906
Fine. But that aside, what do you make
of Donna being the one pushing it?
205
00:12:19,114 --> 00:12:22,159
- I don't make anything.
- You wouldn't think she'd be jealous?
206
00:12:22,368 --> 00:12:24,286
She goes out with guys. Are you jealous?
207
00:12:24,495 --> 00:12:25,496
- No.
- See?
208
00:12:25,746 --> 00:12:27,623
- I don't get jealous.
- So?
209
00:12:27,831 --> 00:12:32,378
I don't like it, and usually do everything
within my capabilities to sabotage it...
210
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,132
...which is why it's curious that Donna
would do nothing to discourage...
211
00:12:37,341 --> 00:12:40,344
...in fact do everything to encourage,
a date with Joey Lucas...
212
00:12:40,552 --> 00:12:42,930
...who, quite frankly,
is a very attractive woman.
213
00:12:43,180 --> 00:12:44,515
- Josh?
- Yeah.
214
00:12:44,723 --> 00:12:48,310
- Your voice got really high at the end.
- Yeah, sorry.
215
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:50,312
- Hey.
- Good morning, sir.
216
00:12:50,521 --> 00:12:52,231
Thanks for having breakfast with me.
217
00:12:52,439 --> 00:12:54,399
- Did you order?
- We were waiting for you.
218
00:12:54,650 --> 00:12:57,903
- Billy. You want scrambled eggs?
- Yeah, thanks.
219
00:12:58,529 --> 00:13:01,448
- Can we get them some scrambled eggs?
- Anything for you?
220
00:13:01,698 --> 00:13:03,575
- I'm fine.
- Then we're fine too.
221
00:13:03,826 --> 00:13:05,536
- No.
- Sir, we're fine.
222
00:13:05,744 --> 00:13:08,038
- Bring them some food. Would you?
- Yes, sir.
223
00:13:08,288 --> 00:13:11,250
You understand I can't discuss
with you any rescue mission...
224
00:13:11,458 --> 00:13:14,002
...that may or may not be
in play right now.
225
00:13:14,211 --> 00:13:15,671
Of course.
226
00:13:16,630 --> 00:13:19,716
I'm assuming State has people
negotiating with Nelson Guerra.
227
00:13:19,925 --> 00:13:23,929
Nelson Guerra wants me to tell President
Santos to release Aguilar from prison.
228
00:13:24,179 --> 00:13:26,306
I wouldn't make that call
with a gun to my head.
229
00:13:26,557 --> 00:13:29,685
I have a gun to my head,
and I'm not making that phone call.
230
00:13:30,185 --> 00:13:31,603
I inherited "War on Drugs"...
231
00:13:31,812 --> 00:13:34,523
...from a president, who inherited it
from a president...
232
00:13:34,731 --> 00:13:37,234
...who inherited it from
a president before that.
233
00:13:37,943 --> 00:13:41,572
I'm not 100% sure who we're fighting,
but I know we're not winning.
234
00:13:41,822 --> 00:13:45,075
Ten years ago, we spent $5 billion
fighting drugs...
235
00:13:45,284 --> 00:13:48,662
...and we did such a good job
that last year we spent 16 billion.
236
00:13:48,871 --> 00:13:53,917
Sixty percent of federal prisoners
are in jail on drug charges...
237
00:13:54,126 --> 00:13:58,005
...as opposed to two and a half percent
that are there for violent crime.
238
00:13:58,255 --> 00:14:01,383
We imprison a higher percentage
of our citizens than Russia did...
239
00:14:01,592 --> 00:14:04,052
...under Communism
and South Africa under apartheid.
240
00:14:04,303 --> 00:14:08,140
Somewhere between 50 and 85 percent
of the prison population...
241
00:14:08,348 --> 00:14:10,642
...has a drug or alcohol abuse problem.
242
00:14:10,893 --> 00:14:14,187
We've tried "Just Say No. "
I don't think it's gonna work.
243
00:14:14,855 --> 00:14:16,565
I'm mentioning this...
244
00:14:16,773 --> 00:14:20,485
...because I'd like you to give me any
thoughts you might have on the subject.
245
00:14:20,694 --> 00:14:22,988
- Thank you, Mr. President.
- Thank you, sir.
246
00:14:31,038 --> 00:14:32,664
- Hello.
- What are you doing here?
247
00:14:32,873 --> 00:14:34,166
- I came in early.
- Bonnie.
248
00:14:34,374 --> 00:14:35,751
I've been here for an hour.
249
00:14:35,959 --> 00:14:38,295
Are we releasing the names
of the agents or not?
250
00:14:38,503 --> 00:14:39,713
Yeah.
251
00:14:39,921 --> 00:14:42,049
- You gotta give me another chance.
- At what?
252
00:14:42,257 --> 00:14:45,135
- At meeting the president.
- You met the president last night.
253
00:14:45,344 --> 00:14:47,512
- I was wearing a bathrobe.
- You sat in paint.
254
00:14:47,721 --> 00:14:50,140
- I was singing and dancing.
- You were happy.
255
00:14:50,349 --> 00:14:53,644
- I threw my drink up in the air.
- Not much of it landed on your head.
256
00:14:53,894 --> 00:14:56,938
- I looked like an idiot, and it's your fault.
- My fault?
257
00:14:57,189 --> 00:14:59,566
You arranged the meeting
over my express wishes.
258
00:14:59,775 --> 00:15:02,611
I'm not the one who got you
jumping around like Joey Heatherton.
259
00:15:02,819 --> 00:15:05,113
- Do something.
- Arrange another introduction?
260
00:15:05,364 --> 00:15:07,908
- You have to.
- Last night you were scared to meet him.
261
00:15:08,116 --> 00:15:09,159
And I'm still scared...
262
00:15:09,409 --> 00:15:11,995
...but I'll overcome that
to erase the humiliation...
263
00:15:12,204 --> 00:15:14,456
...I've brought upon myself
and my father.
264
00:15:14,706 --> 00:15:18,001
You're just in your own little Euripides
play over there, aren't you?
265
00:15:18,210 --> 00:15:20,087
Please arrange another introduction.
266
00:15:20,295 --> 00:15:21,463
- Fine.
- Really?
267
00:15:21,671 --> 00:15:23,673
- Yes.
- Thank you.
268
00:15:24,257 --> 00:15:27,094
You should've given me a heads up
on the Blue Ribbon, Toby.
269
00:15:27,302 --> 00:15:29,554
- Seth.
- You should've given me a heads up.
270
00:15:29,763 --> 00:15:32,432
It happened five minutes before
he walked into the House.
271
00:15:32,641 --> 00:15:36,728
You're a junior senator and don't get
script approval on the State of the Union.
272
00:15:36,937 --> 00:15:40,732
Whatever language you couched it in,
it was not an insignificant change.
273
00:15:40,982 --> 00:15:44,986
You started off with, "We will not cut
Social Security, " and wound up with:
274
00:15:45,195 --> 00:15:48,657
"We're announcing the formation of
a bipartisan Blue Ribbon Commission...
275
00:15:48,907 --> 00:15:51,368
...to study options
with regard to Social Security. "
276
00:15:51,576 --> 00:15:53,036
What is the danger in that?
277
00:15:53,286 --> 00:15:55,414
What's the danger in my reform bill?
278
00:15:55,664 --> 00:15:58,166
Diverting revenue into
trust funds is not reform.
279
00:15:58,417 --> 00:16:03,088
It's the only Social Security reform bill
supported by any Senate Democrats.
280
00:16:03,296 --> 00:16:05,674
- How many votes did it get last year?
- The White House...
281
00:16:05,882 --> 00:16:09,719
Eighteen. Eighty-two U.S. senators
think your reform bill sucks.
282
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,556
So unless you can pick up a majority...
283
00:16:12,764 --> 00:16:15,892
...I don't know what's wrong
with being open to hearing new ideas.
284
00:16:16,143 --> 00:16:18,728
And compromise essential
Democratic Party principles...
285
00:16:18,937 --> 00:16:22,149
- ... to cut a deal with the Republicans?
- It's not what we're doing.
286
00:16:22,357 --> 00:16:25,527
If your commission recommends
raising the retirement age one day...
287
00:16:25,777 --> 00:16:28,697
...reducing benefits one dollar,
reducing Colas....
288
00:16:28,905 --> 00:16:31,700
If you recommend partial
privatization on Social Security...
289
00:16:31,908 --> 00:16:32,909
Are there cameras?
290
00:16:33,118 --> 00:16:36,746
...I will condemn it as an act
intent on destroying Social Security.
291
00:16:36,997 --> 00:16:39,249
- And ruling the galaxy.
- You think this is a joke?
292
00:16:39,499 --> 00:16:42,586
You think I won't publicly condemn
a member of my party?
293
00:16:43,837 --> 00:16:46,631
The president's not a member
of your party. He's the leader.
294
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,135
If you think demonizing people
who are trying to govern responsibly...
295
00:16:50,343 --> 00:16:52,345
...is the way to protect
our liberal base...
296
00:16:52,554 --> 00:16:55,807
...then speaking as a liberal,
go to bed. Would you, please?
297
00:16:57,309 --> 00:16:59,227
You're running to the right
on the environment.
298
00:16:59,436 --> 00:17:01,688
We admonished environmental terrorism.
You're in favor of it?
299
00:17:01,938 --> 00:17:03,815
It was cheap, and you lost friends.
300
00:17:04,065 --> 00:17:06,359
- We made more than we lost.
- Then you go on TV...
301
00:17:06,568 --> 00:17:09,571
...in defense of a cop who
kicked the crap out of a black kid...
302
00:17:09,821 --> 00:17:12,324
...because you don't want
to admit you screwed up...
303
00:17:12,532 --> 00:17:14,951
...and he never should've been invited.
304
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:19,414
Seniors, environmentalists,
African-Americans.
305
00:17:19,706 --> 00:17:22,208
Tell me which has a greater
chance of happening:
306
00:17:22,417 --> 00:17:24,044
My reform bill getting passed...
307
00:17:24,252 --> 00:17:27,339
...or the president getting reelected
without these three groups.
308
00:17:27,589 --> 00:17:29,841
Three groups that will never
desert the president.
309
00:17:30,091 --> 00:17:33,345
Not unless I run
as a third-party candidate, no.
310
00:17:33,678 --> 00:17:38,892
Those 18 votes are looking a little bigger
now. Aren't they, you son of a bitch?
311
00:17:45,523 --> 00:17:48,318
I was just thinking about
this cartoon I once saw.
312
00:17:48,526 --> 00:17:51,071
Tiny fish are swimming through
the leaves of a plant.
313
00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:53,365
But then one fish realizes
it's not a plant.
314
00:17:53,573 --> 00:17:56,660
It's the tentacles of a predator.
And the fish says:
315
00:17:56,910 --> 00:17:59,287
"With friends like this,
who needs anemones? "
316
00:18:03,458 --> 00:18:06,961
Come at us from the left,
and I'm gonna own your ass.
317
00:18:15,553 --> 00:18:18,431
Ask someone at my office
for the notes on the noon speech.
318
00:18:18,682 --> 00:18:20,350
- "Women in the Arts"?
- Yeah.
319
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,936
- And pack a sweater for the plane?
- Yeah.
320
00:18:23,144 --> 00:18:25,855
- Hey, Charlie.
- Good morning, ma'am. You heading out?
321
00:18:26,106 --> 00:18:28,316
Not till tonight. Chicago, then Seattle.
322
00:18:28,525 --> 00:18:33,363
I wanted your permission to draw $500
and walk it to that woman in the shelter.
323
00:18:33,613 --> 00:18:37,617
- Oh, I'd appreciate that. Thank you.
- Is there anything else I can do?
324
00:18:37,867 --> 00:18:39,536
Thank you, ma'am.
325
00:18:39,869 --> 00:18:42,539
- Hey.
- Good morning, sir. I'll be in the office.
326
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,250
What's that about?
327
00:18:45,458 --> 00:18:47,752
Charlie's gonna bring cash over
to Jane Robinson.
328
00:18:48,002 --> 00:18:50,046
- You're packing already?
- Yeah.
329
00:18:50,255 --> 00:18:52,924
- You're not leaving till tonight, right?
- Yeah.
330
00:18:53,842 --> 00:18:56,428
Men and women are completely
different in this regard.
331
00:18:56,678 --> 00:18:59,139
When was the last time
you packed a suitcase at all?
332
00:18:59,347 --> 00:19:00,723
I don't know.
333
00:19:01,099 --> 00:19:03,309
I just had breakfast
with Sam and Josh.
334
00:19:03,518 --> 00:19:05,603
Toby's having breakfast
with Seth Gillette...
335
00:19:05,812 --> 00:19:08,440
...who's every bit as pissed
at me as you are.
336
00:19:09,232 --> 00:19:12,944
- Abbey, can we...?
- Guys, can you give me a minute?
337
00:19:19,325 --> 00:19:21,286
We didn't get a chance
to talk last night.
338
00:19:21,536 --> 00:19:22,996
- I don't think we should.
- Talk?
339
00:19:23,204 --> 00:19:25,165
- Ever?
- Oh, if wishing made it so, Jed.
340
00:19:25,415 --> 00:19:27,876
I don't think it's a good idea
for us to talk now.
341
00:19:28,084 --> 00:19:29,836
- Why?
- You've gotta focus on Colombia.
342
00:19:30,086 --> 00:19:31,421
I can do two things at once.
343
00:19:31,671 --> 00:19:34,257
You don't have two things at once.
You have 92 things.
344
00:19:34,465 --> 00:19:36,426
One of them is five hostages in Colombia.
345
00:19:36,676 --> 00:19:39,596
And I'd like to go on without
this black cloud around me...
346
00:19:39,804 --> 00:19:41,097
...so I'd like to talk now.
347
00:19:41,306 --> 00:19:43,308
This is a longer conversation than that...
348
00:19:43,516 --> 00:19:46,978
...and we can talk about it later.
And you should focus.
349
00:19:47,228 --> 00:19:50,398
What are you, my Zen master?
Can I be in charge of my own mind?
350
00:19:50,607 --> 00:19:51,816
Let me tell you something!
351
00:19:52,066 --> 00:19:54,694
Get as chippy as you want
if that makes you feel better.
352
00:19:54,903 --> 00:19:58,990
I am your wife. I love you. You have
a crisis. You have to deal with it.
353
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,993
When it's done, we'll talk.
354
00:20:05,163 --> 00:20:07,540
I feel better already.
355
00:20:18,217 --> 00:20:19,844
I'm on hold.
356
00:20:22,263 --> 00:20:24,182
I'm on hold.
357
00:20:27,644 --> 00:20:29,228
I'm on hold.
358
00:20:33,149 --> 00:20:35,902
I'm in some hellish
hold world of holding.
359
00:20:36,527 --> 00:20:37,820
- Josh?
- I'm on hold.
360
00:20:38,029 --> 00:20:39,781
They'll call us when the
power's back.
361
00:20:40,031 --> 00:20:41,407
- They did.
- What happened?
362
00:20:41,616 --> 00:20:43,159
I'm on hold.
363
00:20:43,826 --> 00:20:46,371
- I'll wait with you.
- That'll be a lot of fun.
364
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,874
So you never told me
why this poll is different...
365
00:20:50,083 --> 00:20:52,418
...why you're interested
in these particular numbers.
366
00:20:52,627 --> 00:20:55,213
There are five congressional
districts that concern me.
367
00:20:55,463 --> 00:20:57,840
- Which districts?
- Kentucky 3rd. That's Louisville.
368
00:20:58,091 --> 00:21:00,551
- And Jefferson.
- Yeah. Louisiana 4th, Missouri 9th...
369
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,638
- ... Missouri 6th and Ohio 12th.
- What's with those districts?
370
00:21:03,846 --> 00:21:06,891
The president announced
a crime package that would...
371
00:21:07,141 --> 00:21:08,810
Require a five-day background check.
372
00:21:09,060 --> 00:21:11,771
- Those congressmen...
- Are sitting on the fence.
373
00:21:11,979 --> 00:21:14,816
So you wanna know how
the package polled in those districts.
374
00:21:15,024 --> 00:21:16,651
If it polled well, you got your gun law.
375
00:21:16,859 --> 00:21:19,487
If it tanked, you shut up
or lose five seats in the House.
376
00:21:19,737 --> 00:21:24,033
Why do you ask when you're gonna
have the conversation all by yourself?
377
00:21:24,617 --> 00:21:27,328
- You want me to hold the phone?
- I can hold the phone.
378
00:21:28,121 --> 00:21:30,998
Take the phone. Give me the phone.
379
00:21:36,129 --> 00:21:38,381
Why are you trying to fix me up
with Joey Lucas?
380
00:21:38,631 --> 00:21:40,591
I think you'd make a nice couple.
381
00:21:40,967 --> 00:21:41,968
Fine.
382
00:21:42,176 --> 00:21:45,680
If you got married, you wouldn't have
to get your towels re-monogrammed.
383
00:21:45,930 --> 00:21:46,973
Thank you.
384
00:21:47,181 --> 00:21:49,684
- The power's back on.
- Excellent.
385
00:21:50,685 --> 00:21:53,688
- What do we do now?
- We wait.
386
00:21:56,566 --> 00:21:57,817
How you doing, Ainsley?
387
00:21:58,025 --> 00:22:00,528
My mouth is dry, my hands
are moist and I have to pee.
388
00:22:00,736 --> 00:22:01,737
Okay.
389
00:22:01,946 --> 00:22:04,240
- Hey, you ready?
- Yes.
390
00:22:04,449 --> 00:22:05,825
You sure? Let's go.
391
00:22:06,033 --> 00:22:07,160
- Call it off.
- Here we go.
392
00:22:07,368 --> 00:22:08,369
- No, really.
- Ainsley.
393
00:22:08,578 --> 00:22:10,288
- I'll meet him another time.
- What other time?
394
00:22:10,496 --> 00:22:11,831
- A better time.
- What's a better time?
395
00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:13,040
Tomorrow.
396
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:15,877
Don't you have to absolve yourself
of the humiliation...
397
00:22:16,085 --> 00:22:18,421
...visited on your family
and the House of Atreus?
398
00:22:18,629 --> 00:22:21,090
But I believe I'm going to
compound the humiliation.
399
00:22:21,299 --> 00:22:22,592
- It'll never happen.
- Really?
400
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,343
No, it probably will.
401
00:22:25,094 --> 00:22:26,929
- Hey.
- Is he coming?
402
00:22:27,138 --> 00:22:30,641
He's stopping in on his way
from the thing.
403
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:36,689
How you doing, Ainsley?
404
00:22:36,939 --> 00:22:39,108
I'm concerned about peeing
on your carpet.
405
00:22:39,317 --> 00:22:43,446
- Okay, well, now I am too.
- Tell her it's gonna be fine.
406
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,657
- Your skirt's on backwards.
- May I use the bathroom?
407
00:22:46,866 --> 00:22:48,826
- Yes.
- Thank you.
408
00:22:49,660 --> 00:22:51,245
Ainsley!
409
00:22:53,164 --> 00:22:55,124
- Good evening, Mr. President.
- Is she here?
410
00:22:55,333 --> 00:22:57,543
- Ainsley Hayes? Yes, sir.
- Where is she?
411
00:22:57,793 --> 00:22:59,879
Well, she's in the closet, Mr. President.
412
00:23:00,922 --> 00:23:02,965
- Why?
- She thought it was a bathroom.
413
00:23:05,468 --> 00:23:08,429
- Why is she still in there?
- That's kind of hard to say, sir.
414
00:23:08,638 --> 00:23:11,265
- Why don't we get her out here?
- Yeah.
415
00:23:13,476 --> 00:23:15,144
- Ainsley?
- Yes?
416
00:23:15,353 --> 00:23:17,939
Ainsley, why don't you
come on out of there?
417
00:23:21,192 --> 00:23:22,902
How you doing?
418
00:23:23,110 --> 00:23:26,113
We met last night. You were singing
and dancing in a bathrobe.
419
00:23:26,322 --> 00:23:28,115
- Yes, sir.
- Why were you in the closet?
420
00:23:28,366 --> 00:23:29,408
I had to pee.
421
00:23:29,659 --> 00:23:32,411
I can't smoke inside,
but you can pee in Leo's closet.
422
00:23:32,662 --> 00:23:35,373
- Mr. President...
- I appreciate your coming to work for me.
423
00:23:35,581 --> 00:23:39,168
You're an exceptionally bright young
woman. Is your father proud of you?
424
00:23:39,710 --> 00:23:41,796
- Yes, sir.
- I'll bet he is.
425
00:23:42,046 --> 00:23:44,131
- Listen....
- Mr. President.
426
00:23:45,424 --> 00:23:46,884
Sam.
427
00:23:58,980 --> 00:24:00,606
What happened?
428
00:24:01,524 --> 00:24:03,401
Charlie, get the door.
429
00:24:05,194 --> 00:24:06,320
What happened?
430
00:24:06,570 --> 00:24:08,906
- Mr. President...
- Did we lose the hostages?
431
00:24:09,115 --> 00:24:11,784
- The hostages weren't there.
- What are you talking about?
432
00:24:11,993 --> 00:24:13,035
- Oh, God.
- What?
433
00:24:13,285 --> 00:24:16,914
The radio communications we'd been
intercepting on the SIGINT were wrong.
434
00:24:17,123 --> 00:24:20,376
When the Deltas got to the area,
it was a dry hole.
435
00:24:20,626 --> 00:24:24,380
That's when one of the two
Blackhawk helicopters...
436
00:24:24,588 --> 00:24:28,426
...was shot down by a shoulder-
mounted surface-to-air missile.
437
00:24:36,976 --> 00:24:41,063
- How many guys were on the Blackhawk?
- The pilot, the engineer and seven Deltas.
438
00:24:41,272 --> 00:24:45,484
So I've got nine more guys now
on the ground we've gotta get back?
439
00:24:48,195 --> 00:24:49,321
Mr. President.
440
00:24:49,572 --> 00:24:53,576
Sir, the second Blackhawk went in
and recovered the bodies.
441
00:25:01,667 --> 00:25:05,087
- They're dead?
- Yes, sir.
442
00:25:11,135 --> 00:25:16,098
I want the president of Colombia on
the phone. I want a translator right now.
443
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,275
Damn it!
444
00:25:30,779 --> 00:25:32,448
Damn it!
445
00:25:37,578 --> 00:25:38,662
Sir?
446
00:25:38,871 --> 00:25:40,915
How the hell did that happen?
447
00:25:41,123 --> 00:25:43,792
- It was bad intelligence.
- You think?
448
00:25:44,502 --> 00:25:48,214
Frente left behind a radio
and a soldier at the outpost...
449
00:25:48,422 --> 00:25:50,925
...and they were deliberately
sending misinformation.
450
00:25:51,175 --> 00:25:54,970
We'd never anticipated the possibility
that somebody might try that?
451
00:25:55,179 --> 00:25:59,058
We weren't prepared for someone
to try and outfox us with a stratagem...
452
00:25:59,266 --> 00:26:02,436
...so sophisticated
it's an entire generation beyond:
453
00:26:02,645 --> 00:26:04,813
" Hey, look, your shoelaces are untied! "
454
00:26:05,022 --> 00:26:11,362
Is that how I just lost nine guys,
to a damn street gang with a ham radio?
455
00:26:14,365 --> 00:26:19,828
They lured us there so that
they could kill nine American soldiers!
456
00:26:23,791 --> 00:26:27,044
- Where are the bodies?
- They're on their way back.
457
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,258
- Where?
- Dover. Around 4 a.m.
458
00:26:37,388 --> 00:26:39,556
Mr. President?
459
00:26:52,945 --> 00:26:55,030
We have a secure connection.
460
00:26:55,239 --> 00:26:58,284
- Somebody translating on the other end?
- Yes, sir.
461
00:26:59,827 --> 00:27:02,830
Mr. President, this is
the president of the United States.
462
00:27:03,831 --> 00:27:06,291
- Good evening, Mr. President.
- Mr. President.
463
00:27:06,500 --> 00:27:10,212
Ninety minutes ago, the United States
invaded Colombian airspace.
464
00:27:10,462 --> 00:27:14,133
Two Blackhawk helicopters
went into Tres Encinas...
465
00:27:14,341 --> 00:27:16,635
...with 20 Delta commandos
on intelligence...
466
00:27:16,885 --> 00:27:19,138
...that the hostages were being moved.
467
00:27:19,346 --> 00:27:24,351
One of the Blackhawks was shot down.
There were nine military fatalities.
468
00:27:24,643 --> 00:27:26,645
I'm terribly sorry to hear that.
469
00:27:26,895 --> 00:27:29,523
I'd like to ask for your assistance
in confirming...
470
00:27:29,732 --> 00:27:32,901
...that the five hostages are still alive.
471
00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:35,320
The hostages are alive.
472
00:27:35,988 --> 00:27:38,449
- How does he know that?
- How do you know that?
473
00:27:38,657 --> 00:27:42,453
We have confirmation that we're
transmitting to you through channels.
474
00:27:44,163 --> 00:27:45,914
- Mr. President?
- Yes.
475
00:27:46,165 --> 00:27:48,709
I respect and appreciate
your diplomacy...
476
00:27:48,917 --> 00:27:51,962
...in not yet asking me to release
Juan Aguilar from prison.
477
00:27:52,212 --> 00:27:55,048
I'm not going to ask you, Miguel.
478
00:27:55,674 --> 00:27:58,177
I'm willing to do it at this point.
479
00:28:00,637 --> 00:28:01,805
Say that again?
480
00:28:02,514 --> 00:28:08,103
I'm willing to let Aguilar out in exchange
for the hostages, if you ask me to.
481
00:28:15,068 --> 00:28:19,782
I appreciate your making that offer,
but I don't think that's a very good idea.
482
00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:24,870
I agree with you, but I'm making
the offer, and I'm leaving it up to you.
483
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:29,082
Okay. Thank you, Mr. President.
484
00:28:29,291 --> 00:28:31,543
Thank you, Mr. President.
485
00:28:39,593 --> 00:28:41,261
- Wait, Toby.
- Not a second, Sam.
486
00:28:41,512 --> 00:28:44,139
You give into terrorist demands
and that's the ballgame.
487
00:28:44,348 --> 00:28:45,974
But there are real lives at stake.
488
00:28:46,183 --> 00:28:48,769
It's easy to stick to principle
if nothing's at stake.
489
00:28:48,977 --> 00:28:51,563
Let's argue about principles
after these guys get home.
490
00:28:51,813 --> 00:28:55,692
Juan Aguilar runs one of the
largest drug cartels in the world.
491
00:28:55,901 --> 00:29:00,197
He has produced $15 billion worth
of cocaine in two years.
492
00:29:00,405 --> 00:29:03,825
He's murdered or ordered the murder
of eight Supreme Court justices...
493
00:29:04,076 --> 00:29:08,497
...a pro-extradition prime minister and
three federal police officers in Bogotá.
494
00:29:08,705 --> 00:29:10,874
And from his prison cell,
I guarantee you...
495
00:29:11,124 --> 00:29:14,878
...he orchestrated the kidnapping
of five U S. DEA agents...
496
00:29:15,087 --> 00:29:18,257
- ... and the killing of their rescuers.
- I believe he did as well...
497
00:29:18,465 --> 00:29:22,594
...which is evidence that it couldn't
matter less whether he's in prison or not.
498
00:29:22,844 --> 00:29:25,430
I'll share a cell with him
before I let him out.
499
00:29:25,681 --> 00:29:27,766
- I want military options.
- Yes, sir.
500
00:29:28,016 --> 00:29:31,019
- Thank you, sir.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
501
00:29:34,231 --> 00:29:36,650
- Yeah.
- Joey says probably just another hour.
502
00:29:36,858 --> 00:29:39,027
- She'll bring the numbers here?
- Yeah.
503
00:29:40,946 --> 00:29:43,907
- Josh, how is this not a no-brainer?
- Colombia?
504
00:29:44,449 --> 00:29:47,953
- You say get them home?
- Of course. Who doesn't?
505
00:29:48,161 --> 00:29:50,789
That should be the person
who has to call the families.
506
00:29:50,998 --> 00:29:53,583
And who calls the families
of the commandos who died...
507
00:29:53,834 --> 00:29:56,712
...trying to save five guys
we could've freed hours ago?
508
00:29:56,962 --> 00:29:58,922
- That's not a good enough reason.
- The reason is...
509
00:29:59,172 --> 00:30:02,175
...you give in, and it gives them
incentive to keep terrorizing.
510
00:30:02,384 --> 00:30:04,553
Not negotiating hasn't given
them disincentive.
511
00:30:04,803 --> 00:30:05,929
- How do you know?
- Please.
512
00:30:06,138 --> 00:30:08,765
You don't think they're gonna
kidnap more people...
513
00:30:08,974 --> 00:30:11,435
- ... and demand free cable?
- So give them free cable.
514
00:30:11,643 --> 00:30:13,979
How about the keys
to the Situation Room?
515
00:30:15,814 --> 00:30:18,358
- You draw a line.
- Where?
516
00:30:18,900 --> 00:30:20,861
- She said an hour?
- On the early numbers?
517
00:30:21,069 --> 00:30:22,404
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
518
00:30:24,990 --> 00:30:26,992
Do we know where they are?
519
00:30:27,534 --> 00:30:30,495
They were moved about 60 miles
into the jungle at Villacerreno.
520
00:30:30,746 --> 00:30:33,081
- What would it take to get them back?
- Alive?
521
00:30:33,331 --> 00:30:34,624
Yeah.
522
00:30:36,710 --> 00:30:39,171
- Mr. President...
- What would it take to wipe them out?
523
00:30:39,421 --> 00:30:41,882
- The Frente?
- Yeah.
524
00:30:43,633 --> 00:30:44,968
What would it take?
525
00:30:45,177 --> 00:30:47,846
For the kind of victory
Americans are used to...
526
00:30:48,055 --> 00:30:50,182
...for the kind of victory
Americans demand...
527
00:30:50,390 --> 00:30:52,142
...you need a 10-to-1 ratio.
528
00:30:52,392 --> 00:30:54,603
It was only after that ratio in the Gulf...
529
00:30:54,811 --> 00:30:56,772
...that we felt comfortable
making a move.
530
00:30:56,980 --> 00:30:59,649
Frente has 20,000 well-armed,
well-trained soldiers...
531
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:02,944
...each of whom has a financial
stake in heroin and cocaine.
532
00:31:03,153 --> 00:31:06,948
We need to put 200 to 300,000
men into a jungle war...
533
00:31:07,199 --> 00:31:10,077
- ... and I think we'd lose as many as half.
- Half.
534
00:31:10,702 --> 00:31:11,953
Yes, sir.
535
00:31:16,541 --> 00:31:20,837
You gotta ask yourself, "What's the point
in being a superpower anymore? "
536
00:31:28,386 --> 00:31:31,223
- I wanted to bring that book.
- The Truman biography.
537
00:31:31,431 --> 00:31:33,391
- You got a sweater for the plane?
- Yes, ma'am.
538
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,352
And you should both take sweaters.
539
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,188
- And then there's the repacking.
- Mr. President.
540
00:31:38,396 --> 00:31:42,317
First, the preliminary, or the dry run.
Then there's the actual packing.
541
00:31:43,109 --> 00:31:45,070
You're just going away
for two days, right?
542
00:31:45,278 --> 00:31:46,696
Guys.
543
00:31:52,285 --> 00:31:53,495
Right?
544
00:31:53,703 --> 00:31:55,163
What happened?
545
00:31:55,664 --> 00:31:57,457
- It was an ambush.
- Oh, God.
546
00:31:57,666 --> 00:32:01,545
A guy with a shoulder thing shot
down a Blackhawk. Everybody's dead.
547
00:32:03,338 --> 00:32:04,923
Nine guys.
548
00:32:05,549 --> 00:32:08,677
Meanwhile, they've moved the hostages
60 miles into the jungle...
549
00:32:08,927 --> 00:32:10,929
...where we'd need tweezers
to get them.
550
00:32:11,179 --> 00:32:13,348
You want me to stay?
551
00:32:13,557 --> 00:32:14,975
- No.
- I can stay.
552
00:32:17,102 --> 00:32:18,520
No.
553
00:32:20,021 --> 00:32:23,900
I didn't make the decision to run again.
I wouldn't do that without you.
554
00:32:24,150 --> 00:32:26,361
- We don't need to talk about that now.
- When?
555
00:32:26,570 --> 00:32:28,822
- Jed.
- I didn't make the decision to run again.
556
00:32:29,030 --> 00:32:32,450
Yes, you did. If we're gonna talk
about this, let's talk about this.
557
00:32:32,659 --> 00:32:36,204
The moves over the last few weeks,
the changes in last night's speech.
558
00:32:36,413 --> 00:32:38,456
This whole place is in reelection mode.
559
00:32:38,707 --> 00:32:41,418
That's what we do, Abbey.
We run for things.
560
00:32:41,626 --> 00:32:45,130
From the day a congressman is sworn in,
he's gotta raise $ 10,000 a week...
561
00:32:45,338 --> 00:32:46,590
...so he can get reelected.
562
00:32:46,798 --> 00:32:49,175
A president gets to govern
for 18 months.
563
00:32:49,384 --> 00:32:51,678
We try to get people to vote for us...
564
00:32:51,886 --> 00:32:54,389
...and we hope the people
force us to do good things.
565
00:32:54,639 --> 00:32:58,018
- We had a deal.
- Yes, we had a deal.
566
00:32:59,519 --> 00:33:01,187
Yes, Jed.
567
00:33:02,397 --> 00:33:03,940
Look at me.
568
00:33:04,816 --> 00:33:07,027
- Do you get that you have MS?
- Abbey.
569
00:33:07,235 --> 00:33:10,572
Do you get that your own immune
system is shredding your brain...
570
00:33:10,822 --> 00:33:12,866
...and I can't tell you why?
571
00:33:14,617 --> 00:33:17,412
Do you have any idea
how good a doctor I am...
572
00:33:17,620 --> 00:33:21,082
- ... and that I can't tell you why?
- I've had one episode in two years.
573
00:33:21,291 --> 00:33:23,418
Yes, but relapsing/remitting MS...
574
00:33:23,668 --> 00:33:26,087
...can turn into secondary/
progressive MS...
575
00:33:26,338 --> 00:33:29,257
...oftentimes ten years
after the initial diagnosis...
576
00:33:29,507 --> 00:33:31,718
...which is where we'll be
in two years.
577
00:33:31,968 --> 00:33:33,720
Do you know what that will look like?
578
00:33:33,928 --> 00:33:35,680
- I know what it's gonna....
- Fatigue...
579
00:33:35,930 --> 00:33:38,558
- ... an inability to get through the day...
- Look...
580
00:33:38,767 --> 00:33:41,644
...memory lapses,
loss of cognitive function...
581
00:33:41,853 --> 00:33:45,940
...failure to reason, to think clearly.
I can't tell you if it's gonna happen.
582
00:33:46,191 --> 00:33:49,527
I don't know if it's gonna get better
or if it's gonna get worse.
583
00:33:49,903 --> 00:33:51,362
But we had a deal.
584
00:33:51,613 --> 00:33:56,451
And that deal was how you justified
keeping it a secret from the world.
585
00:33:57,118 --> 00:33:59,329
It's how you justified it to God.
586
00:34:00,997 --> 00:34:03,458
It's how you justified it to me.
587
00:34:04,918 --> 00:34:07,504
- Mrs. Bartlet?
- Yeah.
588
00:34:12,050 --> 00:34:14,803
You sure you don't want me to stay?
589
00:34:15,929 --> 00:34:17,430
Yeah.
590
00:34:19,641 --> 00:34:21,309
Okay.
591
00:34:22,644 --> 00:34:24,479
Have a good trip.
592
00:34:26,731 --> 00:34:28,775
Call me when you get there.
593
00:34:30,193 --> 00:34:31,528
I will.
594
00:34:32,612 --> 00:34:34,280
I love you.
595
00:34:35,698 --> 00:34:37,617
I love you too.
596
00:34:53,716 --> 00:34:55,260
- Son of a bitch.
- I'm sorry.
597
00:34:55,468 --> 00:34:58,930
A person can't wait five days
to buy a gun?
598
00:34:59,138 --> 00:35:01,057
If someone needs a gun right now...
599
00:35:01,266 --> 00:35:03,434
...isn't that something
to be concerned about?
600
00:35:03,643 --> 00:35:06,104
Taking the feelings
of gun owners into account...
601
00:35:06,312 --> 00:35:10,525
...if you've gotta shoot somebody, it
probably isn't something that can wait.
602
00:35:10,859 --> 00:35:12,652
You mind if I take off?
603
00:35:13,236 --> 00:35:15,196
- What time is it?
- 2 a.m.
604
00:35:15,446 --> 00:35:19,242
All right, we'll call that a full day,
but come in early tomorrow.
605
00:35:20,410 --> 00:35:22,579
- You're all right getting home?
- Yeah.
606
00:35:22,787 --> 00:35:24,998
- Good night, guys.
- Good night.
607
00:35:28,710 --> 00:35:32,005
- They're just preliminary numbers.
- They're not gonna change.
608
00:35:32,213 --> 00:35:33,548
No.
609
00:35:33,881 --> 00:35:35,967
A five-day waiting period.
610
00:35:37,969 --> 00:35:40,221
- It tested well nationwide.
- Yeah.
611
00:35:40,430 --> 00:35:41,681
Fifty-eight percent.
612
00:35:41,931 --> 00:35:44,475
I didn't need nationwide.
I needed those districts.
613
00:35:44,684 --> 00:35:47,312
We'll have to dial down
the gun rhetoric in the Midwest.
614
00:35:47,562 --> 00:35:49,355
Why not dial it up?
615
00:35:49,606 --> 00:35:51,357
Because these numbers just told us...
616
00:35:51,608 --> 00:35:53,943
You don't know
what these numbers just told you.
617
00:35:54,152 --> 00:35:56,696
I don't know what these numbers
just told you.
618
00:35:56,946 --> 00:35:58,573
We know.
619
00:35:58,781 --> 00:36:01,492
- Really?
- Numbers don't lie.
620
00:36:02,368 --> 00:36:03,745
They lie all the time.
621
00:36:03,995 --> 00:36:09,167
They lie when 72% of Americans
say they're tired of a sex scandal...
622
00:36:09,375 --> 00:36:13,963
...while all the while, newspaper
circulation goes through the roof...
623
00:36:14,172 --> 00:36:16,549
...for anyone featuring the story.
624
00:36:17,133 --> 00:36:19,135
If you polled a hundred Donnas...
625
00:36:19,344 --> 00:36:21,763
...and asked them
if they think we should go out...
626
00:36:21,971 --> 00:36:24,140
...you'd get a high positive response.
627
00:36:24,682 --> 00:36:27,435
But the poll wouldn't tell you...
628
00:36:28,019 --> 00:36:32,565
...it's because she likes you
and she knows it's beginning to show...
629
00:36:32,815 --> 00:36:35,568
...and she needs to cover herself
with misdirection.
630
00:36:36,152 --> 00:36:38,821
Believe me when I tell you
that's not true.
631
00:36:39,030 --> 00:36:41,866
You say that these numbers
mean dial it down.
632
00:36:42,075 --> 00:36:44,952
I say they mean dial it up.
You haven't gotten through.
633
00:36:45,161 --> 00:36:47,330
There are people
you haven't persuaded yet.
634
00:36:47,580 --> 00:36:49,665
These numbers mean dial it up.
635
00:36:49,916 --> 00:36:52,418
Otherwise, you're like
the French radical...
636
00:36:52,627 --> 00:36:55,296
...watching a crowd run by and saying:
637
00:36:55,505 --> 00:36:57,215
"There go my people.
638
00:36:57,632 --> 00:37:00,593
I must find out where they're going
so I can lead them. "
639
00:37:03,137 --> 00:37:04,472
Yeah.
640
00:37:07,350 --> 00:37:10,103
We'll go through the rest
of the numbers in the morning.
641
00:37:10,311 --> 00:37:11,854
Okay.
642
00:37:26,369 --> 00:37:28,621
- Good evening, sir.
- Hey, Charlie.
643
00:37:29,163 --> 00:37:31,040
You shouldn't be out here
without a coat.
644
00:37:31,249 --> 00:37:32,625
I'm okay.
645
00:37:38,172 --> 00:37:40,216
- Mr. President?
- Yeah.
646
00:37:40,466 --> 00:37:44,178
- Is there anything I can do for you?
- No. Thanks.
647
00:37:50,893 --> 00:37:52,311
Hey.
648
00:37:52,603 --> 00:37:56,482
I checked outside. I thought
you'd be having a cigarette.
649
00:37:56,691 --> 00:38:01,237
Let me tell you something, Leo. After
heroin and cocaine, tobacco is next.
650
00:38:01,445 --> 00:38:04,740
Great, another criminal empire
we can give birth to.
651
00:38:04,991 --> 00:38:07,285
There'll be speakeasies
all over Chicago...
652
00:38:07,493 --> 00:38:11,247
...where you can get smuggled
cartons of Marlboro Lights.
653
00:38:17,879 --> 00:38:22,216
I fought a jungle war.
I'm not doing it again.
654
00:38:24,468 --> 00:38:27,221
If I could put myself anywhere in time...
655
00:38:27,430 --> 00:38:32,602
...it would be the Cabinet Room
on August 4th, 1964...
656
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:38,524
...when our ships were attacked
by North Vietnam in the Tonkin Gulf.
657
00:38:39,525 --> 00:38:41,152
I'd say:
658
00:38:42,028 --> 00:38:46,240
" Mr. President, don't do it.
659
00:38:46,449 --> 00:38:50,244
You're considering authorizing
a massive commitment of troops...
660
00:38:50,453 --> 00:38:54,040
...and throwing in our lot
with torturers and panderers...
661
00:38:54,248 --> 00:38:58,002
...leaders without principle
and soldiers without conviction...
662
00:38:58,210 --> 00:39:01,547
...with no clear mission
and no end in sight. "
663
00:39:09,180 --> 00:39:10,931
This war's at home.
664
00:39:11,182 --> 00:39:14,810
Its casualties are in our prisons
and not our hospitals.
665
00:39:15,061 --> 00:39:18,356
The amount of money the American
government is spending in Colombia...
666
00:39:18,564 --> 00:39:21,484
...is the exact same amount
American consumers are spending...
667
00:39:21,692 --> 00:39:24,987
...buying drugs from Colombia.
We're funding both sides of this war.
668
00:39:25,196 --> 00:39:27,365
And we'll never win it that way.
669
00:39:28,115 --> 00:39:30,993
- Leo, I can't possibly reverse...
- No one...
670
00:39:31,202 --> 00:39:34,330
I can't possibly reverse
our position on negotiating with...
671
00:39:34,580 --> 00:39:36,248
No one's gonna know.
672
00:39:36,749 --> 00:39:40,628
You don't make another phone call.
That happens someplace else.
673
00:39:41,337 --> 00:39:43,381
Santos is gonna be the one
to let him out.
674
00:39:43,631 --> 00:39:48,010
There were just 14 people in the room
who heard Santos make me the offer.
675
00:39:48,260 --> 00:39:52,181
Those 14 people keep
bigger secrets than this.
676
00:40:05,986 --> 00:40:10,366
You know what Truman Capote said was
the bad part about living outside the law?
677
00:40:10,574 --> 00:40:11,784
What?
678
00:40:11,992 --> 00:40:14,495
You no longer have the protection of it.
679
00:40:15,371 --> 00:40:17,248
What's to stop me?
680
00:40:18,290 --> 00:40:22,253
Two hundred CIA operatives.
Black Ops.
681
00:40:22,878 --> 00:40:26,799
Two hundred guys with no wives,
no kids, no parents.
682
00:40:28,968 --> 00:40:31,053
I send 200 operatives down there.
683
00:40:31,262 --> 00:40:34,974
Monday morning I read in the paper
Juan Aguilar is dead.
684
00:40:35,182 --> 00:40:37,476
What's to stop me?
685
00:40:41,939 --> 00:40:44,900
We lost this one, Mr. President.
686
00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:48,904
It was bad intelligence,
and we lost this one.
687
00:40:56,078 --> 00:40:59,540
It was the queen's rook.
That's why I couldn't trade the bishop.
688
00:40:59,748 --> 00:41:02,126
It was over six moves ago.
689
00:41:05,462 --> 00:41:09,049
- Arrange for their immediate release.
- Yes, sir, Mr. President.
690
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:12,469
If they so much as experience
turbulence on their way out...
691
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:14,346
Yes, sir.
692
00:41:15,014 --> 00:41:17,057
I want to go to Dover later tonight.
693
00:41:17,266 --> 00:41:19,727
- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.
694
00:41:19,977 --> 00:41:22,605
Thank you, Mr. President.
695
00:41:28,861 --> 00:41:32,239
Folks, take your seats, please.
The briefing will start now.
696
00:41:33,032 --> 00:41:35,075
Folks, can you take your seats?
697
00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:38,412
Good evening. Thank you
for coming back so late.
698
00:41:38,621 --> 00:41:43,208
I want to fill you in on some events that
have taken place in the last 24 hours.
699
00:41:43,417 --> 00:41:46,170
There'll be representatives
from the Pentagon...
700
00:41:46,378 --> 00:41:49,924
.. State and Justice Departments
who'll continue with your questions.
701
00:41:50,132 --> 00:41:53,093
Yesterday at approximately
8 p.m. Eastern time...
702
00:41:53,302 --> 00:41:55,721
...five agents from the DEA
were taken hostage...
703
00:41:55,971 --> 00:41:59,141
...in the Putumayo region of Colombia
by members of the Frente...
704
00:41:59,391 --> 00:42:01,226
- Hold your questions.
- Hostages are out.
705
00:42:01,435 --> 00:42:03,729
- There was a demand...
- I'll call their families.
706
00:42:03,979 --> 00:42:06,231
...for the release
of a Colombian prisoner.
707
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,735
President Miguel Santos,
acting on his own authority....
708
