Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:09,843 --> 00:00:12,880
Man:
Assuming arguendo,
That the district court erred
2
00:00:12,946 --> 00:00:16,484
In allowing the jury to consider
Non-statutory factors
3
00:00:16,550 --> 00:00:19,987
That were vague, overbroad
Or duplicative
4
00:00:20,054 --> 00:00:21,822
In violation
Of the eighth amendment
5
00:00:21,889 --> 00:00:25,993
Such error was harmless
Beyond a reasonable doubt.
6
00:00:26,060 --> 00:00:27,795
The application
For a stay of execution
7
00:00:27,861 --> 00:00:31,031
Of the sentence of death
Presented to the chief justice
8
00:00:31,099 --> 00:00:34,568
And referred by him
To the court is denied.
9
00:00:34,635 --> 00:00:38,939
The petition for a writ
Of certiorari is denied.
10
00:00:39,006 --> 00:00:40,274
The petitioner is remanded
11
00:00:40,341 --> 00:00:43,177
To the federal facility
In terre haute, indiana
12
00:00:43,244 --> 00:00:45,879
To be executed
By lethal injection
13
00:00:45,946 --> 00:00:49,550
Monday morning at 12:01 a.M.
14
00:00:49,617 --> 00:00:50,884
Man 1:
Who's our guy
At the white house?
15
00:00:50,951 --> 00:00:52,052
Man 2:
It's over, jerry.
16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,387
Who's our guy
At the white house?
17
00:00:53,454 --> 00:00:55,356
We don't have a guy
At the white house.
18
00:00:55,423 --> 00:00:56,690
Who can we call
Right now?
19
00:00:56,757 --> 00:00:57,425
At 8:00 on a friday?
20
00:00:57,491 --> 00:00:58,126
Yes.
21
00:00:58,192 --> 00:00:59,227
The switchboard operator.
22
00:00:59,293 --> 00:01:00,394
Jerry, who do we know
23
00:01:00,461 --> 00:01:01,329
That's got the ear
Of the president?
24
00:01:01,395 --> 00:01:02,130
Nobody.
25
00:01:02,196 --> 00:01:04,098
Sam seaborn.
26
00:01:04,165 --> 00:01:05,433
You know seaborn?
27
00:01:05,499 --> 00:01:07,101
I used to beat him up
In high school.
28
00:01:07,168 --> 00:01:08,969
You're kidding me.
No.
29
00:01:09,036 --> 00:01:10,070
You can call him
Right now?
30
00:01:10,138 --> 00:01:11,038
Yeah.
31
00:01:11,105 --> 00:01:13,741
He'll take
The call?
32
00:01:13,807 --> 00:01:15,143
Let's find out.
33
00:01:18,045 --> 00:01:18,946
I'm out of here.
34
00:01:19,012 --> 00:01:22,483
You've got
To see sam.
35
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:24,218
I'm seeing sam and then
I'm out of here.
36
00:01:24,285 --> 00:01:26,053
Are you going to behave
Yourself tonight?
37
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,655
It's a bachelor party.
38
00:01:27,721 --> 00:01:28,622
I can hold my liquor.
39
00:01:28,689 --> 00:01:29,623
No, you can't.
40
00:01:29,690 --> 00:01:30,991
I can drink with
The best of them, donna.
41
00:01:31,058 --> 00:01:32,193
You can't drink with
Any of them.
42
00:01:32,260 --> 00:01:34,395
I'm in politics, okay?
I can drink.
43
00:01:34,462 --> 00:01:35,663
You have a
Sensitive system.
44
00:01:35,729 --> 00:01:37,198
I wish you'd stop
Telling people that.
45
00:01:37,265 --> 00:01:38,466
It makes me sound
Like an idiot.
46
00:01:38,532 --> 00:01:39,967
You'll have two drinks
And spend the rest
47
00:01:40,033 --> 00:01:41,202
Of the weekend
Sleeping it off.
48
00:01:41,269 --> 00:01:42,736
This is the first time
In a long time
49
00:01:42,803 --> 00:01:44,505
I've had the opportunity
To spend the weekend
50
00:01:44,572 --> 00:01:47,141
Doing anything
But working.
51
00:01:47,208 --> 00:01:47,908
Are there going
To be strippers?
52
00:01:47,975 --> 00:01:48,876
No.
53
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:49,977
Really?
Tell me the truth.
54
00:01:50,043 --> 00:01:52,346
Men don't like
That anymore.
55
00:01:52,413 --> 00:01:53,881
Men don't like
Naked women anymore?
56
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:55,516
We still like
Naked women a lot.
57
00:01:55,583 --> 00:01:57,551
It's looking at them
In a room full of
Your best friends
58
00:01:57,618 --> 00:01:59,153
That makes you
Feel a little...
59
00:01:59,220 --> 00:02:00,621
Sleazy?
Uncomfortable.
60
00:02:00,688 --> 00:02:03,023
Sam, I'm out of here.
What do you need?
61
00:02:03,090 --> 00:02:03,891
What do I need?
62
00:02:03,957 --> 00:02:04,892
Bonnie:
O'dwyer.
63
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:05,893
I need you to do
Me a favor.
64
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:06,794
On o'dwyer?
65
00:02:06,860 --> 00:02:07,995
His people are calling.
66
00:02:08,061 --> 00:02:08,929
They want to know
What's going on.
67
00:02:08,996 --> 00:02:10,030
Who's his people?
68
00:02:10,097 --> 00:02:11,432
A campaign manager,
Joey lucas.
69
00:02:11,499 --> 00:02:12,966
Never heard
Of him.
Me neither.
70
00:02:13,033 --> 00:02:15,002
I didn't speak with him.
I spoke with his assistant.
71
00:02:15,068 --> 00:02:18,539
What's the favor?
I scheduled a meeting
For tomorrow with him.
72
00:02:18,606 --> 00:02:19,840
Aren't you going
Sailing tomorrow?
73
00:02:19,907 --> 00:02:21,342
Yeah.
Then how are
You going to...
74
00:02:21,409 --> 00:02:23,244
Oh, come on!
Ten minutes.
75
00:02:23,311 --> 00:02:25,145
On a saturday?!
Well, you have plans?
76
00:02:25,213 --> 00:02:26,314
I was planning
On doing nothing.
77
00:02:26,380 --> 00:02:28,882
Ten minutes,
15 minutes tops.
Sam...
78
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:30,551
He's going to be
Very excited to
Meet with you.
79
00:02:30,618 --> 00:02:32,286
Joshua lyman,
Deputy chief
Of staff--
80
00:02:32,353 --> 00:02:33,887
You can hear it
From a horse's mouth.
81
00:02:33,954 --> 00:02:35,022
What am I supposed
To tell him?
82
00:02:35,088 --> 00:02:36,590
On o'dwyer?
Tell him the truth.
83
00:02:36,657 --> 00:02:38,792
I don't think so.
What else you got?
84
00:02:38,859 --> 00:02:39,793
What time?
85
00:02:39,860 --> 00:02:40,861
10:00 tomorrow morning.
86
00:02:40,928 --> 00:02:42,162
You have to be here
10:00 tomorrow morning.
87
00:02:42,230 --> 00:02:43,531
We have to be here.
88
00:02:43,597 --> 00:02:44,298
Why me?
89
00:02:44,365 --> 00:02:45,499
Because you
Work for me.
90
00:02:45,566 --> 00:02:48,269
I have things to do
Tomorrow, josh.
91
00:02:48,336 --> 00:02:49,770
What things?
92
00:02:49,837 --> 00:02:50,604
I have to go shopping.
93
00:02:50,671 --> 00:02:51,104
For what?
94
00:02:51,171 --> 00:02:52,273
Whatever.
95
00:02:52,340 --> 00:02:53,607
Ten minutes.
96
00:02:53,674 --> 00:02:55,209
When it's over,
I'll buy you some shoes.
97
00:02:55,276 --> 00:02:56,009
Really?
98
00:02:56,076 --> 00:02:57,311
I'm out of here.
99
00:02:57,378 --> 00:02:58,579
Sam:
I'm bringing back
The cup, man.
100
00:02:58,646 --> 00:03:00,147
Sam, just stay in
The boat this time
101
00:03:00,214 --> 00:03:02,182
And I'm a happy guy.
102
00:03:02,250 --> 00:03:03,251
Good luck.
103
00:03:03,317 --> 00:03:04,818
I got foul weather gear.
104
00:03:04,885 --> 00:03:06,287
Josh:
See you later.
105
00:03:06,354 --> 00:03:07,255
Bonnie, I'm done?
106
00:03:07,321 --> 00:03:08,556
You're done.
107
00:03:08,622 --> 00:03:10,424
Cutting the cord now, bonnie.
108
00:03:10,491 --> 00:03:12,560
Going to be unreachable
For the weekend.
109
00:03:12,626 --> 00:03:13,961
Good.
110
00:03:14,027 --> 00:03:16,297
I'm not taking
My pager...
111
00:03:16,364 --> 00:03:17,331
I'm not taking
My cell phone.
112
00:03:17,398 --> 00:03:18,966
You've earned it.
113
00:03:19,032 --> 00:03:20,534
Out on the ocean blue.
114
00:03:20,601 --> 00:03:22,102
Totally cut off
From the white house.
115
00:03:22,169 --> 00:03:23,804
It'll be
Good for you.
116
00:03:23,871 --> 00:03:24,938
I'm taking my pager.
117
00:03:25,005 --> 00:03:27,107
Should probably take
My cell phone, too.
118
00:03:27,174 --> 00:03:28,742
No, no. I'm cutting
The cord.
119
00:03:28,809 --> 00:03:30,944
I'm not taking my cell phone
Or my pager.
120
00:03:31,011 --> 00:03:31,645
Sam.
121
00:03:31,712 --> 00:03:32,246
Yeah?
122
00:03:32,313 --> 00:03:33,714
You need to relax.
123
00:03:33,781 --> 00:03:35,215
Yeah.
124
00:03:35,283 --> 00:03:36,216
Have a good weekend.
125
00:03:36,284 --> 00:03:38,286
You, too.
126
00:03:38,352 --> 00:03:40,954
( phone ringing )
127
00:03:52,132 --> 00:03:53,367
This is sam seaborn.
128
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,415
Man:
That's not the point.
129
00:04:41,482 --> 00:04:42,783
Bobby, is he guilty?
130
00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:44,852
In '94, justice blackmun
Officially went on...
131
00:04:44,918 --> 00:04:45,486
Bobby...
132
00:04:45,553 --> 00:04:46,487
It was a drug cartel.
133
00:04:46,554 --> 00:04:47,888
He killed two kingpins.
134
00:04:47,955 --> 00:04:48,956
You want me to argue
135
00:04:49,022 --> 00:04:50,157
It was a public
Service murder?
136
00:04:50,223 --> 00:04:51,559
We're not talking about
Schoolgirls.
137
00:04:51,625 --> 00:04:53,226
Blackmun supported
The death penalty.
138
00:04:53,293 --> 00:04:54,828
He reversed himself
In '94.
139
00:04:54,895 --> 00:04:56,029
"From this day
Forward
140
00:04:56,096 --> 00:04:58,732
"I no longer shall tinker
With the machinery of death.
141
00:04:58,799 --> 00:05:00,701
"I feel morally and
Intellectually obligated
142
00:05:00,768 --> 00:05:03,571
Simply to concede that
The death penalty
Experiment has failed."
143
00:05:03,637 --> 00:05:05,439
You don't have to quote
Harry blackmun with me.
144
00:05:05,506 --> 00:05:06,807
You are going to go
To the president
145
00:05:06,874 --> 00:05:09,042
And tell him that he
Can't run from this one.
146
00:05:09,109 --> 00:05:10,177
He's got to
Consider my client.
147
00:05:10,243 --> 00:05:11,545
You're going
To tell him that.
148
00:05:11,612 --> 00:05:13,347
Nobody talks to the president
That way, bobby.
149
00:05:13,414 --> 00:05:17,117
And not many people talk
To me that way anymore.
150
00:05:17,184 --> 00:05:19,052
I got a guy 48 hours
Away from death.
151
00:05:19,119 --> 00:05:21,689
You're going to make
This personal?
152
00:05:21,755 --> 00:05:25,058
How long you been
With the p.D.'s office?
153
00:05:25,125 --> 00:05:26,126
About two years.
154
00:05:26,193 --> 00:05:29,029
I heard you were
At ross-lipton.
155
00:05:29,096 --> 00:05:29,730
Yeah, I was.
156
00:05:29,797 --> 00:05:30,964
What happened?
157
00:05:31,031 --> 00:05:32,666
They gave me a partnership
And a corner office, sam.
158
00:05:32,733 --> 00:05:36,069
What do you
Think happened?
159
00:05:36,136 --> 00:05:38,872
The president is very serious
About the separation of powers.
160
00:05:38,939 --> 00:05:39,607
So is the constitution.
161
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:41,108
And article 2, section 2
162
00:05:41,174 --> 00:05:43,444
Says he shall have the power
To grant reprieves and pardons
163
00:05:43,511 --> 00:05:45,078
For offenses against
The united states.
164
00:05:45,145 --> 00:05:46,547
Thanks for
Pointing that out.
165
00:05:46,614 --> 00:05:48,482
I'm saying the judicial branch
Has spoken, so why...?
166
00:05:48,549 --> 00:05:49,617
That's what's he's
Going to hide behind?
167
00:05:49,683 --> 00:05:51,452
He's not hiding
Behind anything.
168
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:53,921
He's on air force one
Coming back from stockholm.
169
00:05:53,987 --> 00:05:55,088
When does he land?
170
00:05:55,155 --> 00:05:57,024
Around 9:00 a.M.
171
00:05:57,090 --> 00:05:58,291
That's when you'll
Talk to him?
172
00:05:58,358 --> 00:05:59,560
I won't be here
Tomorrow
173
00:05:59,627 --> 00:06:00,394
But I'll ask
Toby ziegler...
174
00:06:00,461 --> 00:06:01,829
Where are you going?
175
00:06:01,895 --> 00:06:02,863
Bobby...
176
00:06:02,930 --> 00:06:05,298
I'll pass it up
To toby ziegler--
177
00:06:05,365 --> 00:06:07,601
He'll ask for a few minutes
Of the president's time
But I have to be honest...
178
00:06:07,668 --> 00:06:09,537
He'll talk to him
First thing in the morning?
179
00:06:09,603 --> 00:06:10,838
It's saturday.
180
00:06:10,904 --> 00:06:13,173
Toby will probably
Be at temple first thing...
181
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:13,907
What temple?
182
00:06:13,974 --> 00:06:14,975
Bobby...
183
00:06:15,042 --> 00:06:16,009
What temple?
184
00:06:16,076 --> 00:06:17,244
I don't know the name.
185
00:06:17,310 --> 00:06:18,412
Do you know where it is?
186
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:19,947
I think it's on delaware.
187
00:06:20,013 --> 00:06:21,148
Thank you.
188
00:06:40,868 --> 00:06:41,535
Leo.
189
00:06:41,602 --> 00:06:42,603
I thought you left.
190
00:06:42,670 --> 00:06:43,937
I just came back
To get my bag.
191
00:06:44,004 --> 00:06:45,005
What's going on?
192
00:06:45,072 --> 00:06:46,339
They denied the appeal.
193
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:47,107
Simon cruz.
194
00:06:47,174 --> 00:06:48,442
Yeah.
195
00:06:48,509 --> 00:06:50,511
I thought they
Were sending
It back to the...
196
00:06:50,578 --> 00:06:53,046
Our guy said they were
Going to send it back
197
00:06:53,113 --> 00:06:53,881
To the sixth circuit.
198
00:06:53,947 --> 00:06:54,782
Well, they didn't.
199
00:06:54,848 --> 00:06:56,283
They denied the
Appeal five-three.
200
00:06:56,349 --> 00:06:57,951
That's not what was
Supposed to happen.
201
00:06:58,018 --> 00:07:00,120
We've got to get mendoza
On the bench.
202
00:07:00,187 --> 00:07:02,856
If mendoza was on the bench,
They would have lost five-four.
203
00:07:02,923 --> 00:07:05,192
So what are we
Talking about?
204
00:07:05,258 --> 00:07:08,562
The execution is scheduled
For 12:01 monday morning.
205
00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:11,298
The ball's in our court.
206
00:07:11,364 --> 00:07:14,267
I'm not sure the president
Wants the ball in our court.
207
00:07:14,334 --> 00:07:17,671
Well, that makes
Two of us.
208
00:07:17,738 --> 00:07:21,008
Have a good
Weekend.
209
00:07:21,074 --> 00:07:22,009
You're not going to...
210
00:07:22,075 --> 00:07:24,845
He lands at 9:00
Tomorrow morning.
211
00:07:24,912 --> 00:07:26,379
I'll let him sleep
A little bit
212
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:27,447
Then I'll talk it through
With him.
213
00:07:27,515 --> 00:07:28,516
I can brief toby.
214
00:07:28,582 --> 00:07:29,617
Right.
215
00:07:29,683 --> 00:07:31,952
I'll see you later.
216
00:07:32,019 --> 00:07:32,753
Sam...
217
00:07:32,820 --> 00:07:34,387
Yeah?
218
00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:35,523
Why monday morning?
219
00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:36,524
What do you mean?
220
00:07:36,590 --> 00:07:38,091
The court denied
The appeal.
221
00:07:38,158 --> 00:07:39,693
Why isn't he being executed
At midnight tonight?
222
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,061
We don't execute people
223
00:07:41,128 --> 00:07:43,997
Between sundown friday
And sundown sunday.
224
00:07:44,064 --> 00:07:44,798
Why?
225
00:07:44,865 --> 00:07:46,299
Hard as it is to believe...
226
00:07:46,366 --> 00:07:47,501
You're kidding me.
227
00:07:47,568 --> 00:07:48,435
No.
228
00:07:48,502 --> 00:07:50,103
We don't execute people
229
00:07:50,170 --> 00:07:51,772
On the sabbath?
230
00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:53,373
No.
231
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,843
That's about the most
Bizarre thing I've ever heard.
232
00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:57,077
Leo, I think you're
Going to find
233
00:07:57,144 --> 00:07:58,846
As you go through
This weekend
234
00:07:58,912 --> 00:08:00,413
That there's virtually
No part of this discussion
235
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,650
That isn't bizarre.
236
00:08:02,716 --> 00:08:03,784
I'm going to
To home now.
237
00:08:03,851 --> 00:08:05,686
I've got a race
In the morning.
238
00:08:05,753 --> 00:08:08,155
Hold on to a rope
Or something, would you?
239
00:08:08,221 --> 00:08:10,023
Yeah.
240
00:08:12,159 --> 00:08:14,194
Damn it.
241
00:08:59,506 --> 00:09:02,142
( snoring )
242
00:09:04,411 --> 00:09:06,847
Josh.
243
00:09:06,914 --> 00:09:07,648
Josh.
244
00:09:07,715 --> 00:09:09,750
( sputtering )
245
00:09:09,817 --> 00:09:10,718
Hi.
246
00:09:10,784 --> 00:09:12,786
What are you doing?
247
00:09:12,853 --> 00:09:14,554
What?
248
00:09:14,622 --> 00:09:16,223
Did you spend the night here?
249
00:09:16,289 --> 00:09:18,391
No, just since
A couple hours ago.
250
00:09:18,458 --> 00:09:19,860
The party went till morning?
251
00:09:19,927 --> 00:09:20,661
Yeah.
252
00:09:20,728 --> 00:09:22,095
Why didn't you
Go home?
253
00:09:25,999 --> 00:09:27,100
What?
254
00:09:27,167 --> 00:09:29,369
Why didn't you go home
After the party?
255
00:09:29,436 --> 00:09:31,605
I couldn't find my keys.
256
00:09:31,672 --> 00:09:34,041
Or remember where I lived.
257
00:09:34,107 --> 00:09:34,775
Josh...
258
00:09:34,842 --> 00:09:35,743
I think there might
259
00:09:35,809 --> 00:09:38,345
Have been
Strippers there.
260
00:09:38,411 --> 00:09:39,146
Oh, my god.
261
00:09:39,212 --> 00:09:39,980
Shh, shh.
262
00:09:40,047 --> 00:09:41,682
What happened
To your clothes?
263
00:09:41,749 --> 00:09:43,183
I may have wrinkled my suit.
264
00:09:43,250 --> 00:09:44,184
Josh...
265
00:09:44,251 --> 00:09:46,453
Donna, you want to speak
Very softly.
266
00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:48,889
How did you get like this?
267
00:09:48,956 --> 00:09:51,725
People were pouring champagne
Over each other.
268
00:09:51,792 --> 00:09:53,593
And then wrestling in dirt?
269
00:09:53,661 --> 00:09:55,328
I can't remember,
But it's certainly not
270
00:09:55,395 --> 00:09:59,532
Out of the question.
271
00:09:59,599 --> 00:10:01,969
You have a meeting.
272
00:10:02,035 --> 00:10:03,136
Yeah, I know.
273
00:10:03,203 --> 00:10:05,605
I'm not, you know...
274
00:10:05,673 --> 00:10:07,507
Uh...
275
00:10:07,574 --> 00:10:08,776
What was the meeting again?
276
00:10:08,842 --> 00:10:10,310
Joey lucas about o'dwyer.
277
00:10:10,377 --> 00:10:11,879
Yes.
278
00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:12,946
Josh...
I'm fine.
279
00:10:13,013 --> 00:10:14,347
You can't wear
Those clothes.
280
00:10:14,414 --> 00:10:15,649
I'm fine.
Trust me.
281
00:10:15,716 --> 00:10:16,750
They're the only clothes I got.
282
00:10:16,817 --> 00:10:20,487
I'll find
Some other clothes.
283
00:10:20,553 --> 00:10:21,889
Will you listen to me now?
284
00:10:21,955 --> 00:10:23,390
I'm not even listening
To you now.
285
00:10:23,456 --> 00:10:24,692
( shouting ):
I said are you going to...!
286
00:10:24,758 --> 00:10:27,828
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
287
00:10:32,766 --> 00:10:34,001
President:
C.J., look...
288
00:10:34,067 --> 00:10:35,368
Don't start with me,
Mr. President.
289
00:10:35,435 --> 00:10:36,670
I was helping pass the time.
290
00:10:36,737 --> 00:10:38,205
I was being entertaining
And instructive.
291
00:10:38,271 --> 00:10:39,973
I'm back in america now.
I have rights.
292
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,944
I'm no longer belted down
Next to the passenger from hell.
293
00:10:44,011 --> 00:10:44,812
Leo, what are you
Doing here?
294
00:10:44,878 --> 00:10:45,913
I needed a minute, sir.
295
00:10:45,979 --> 00:10:46,714
How was the flight?
296
00:10:46,780 --> 00:10:47,815
Gruesome.
Great.
297
00:10:47,881 --> 00:10:49,382
If you'll look out
The cabin
298
00:10:49,449 --> 00:10:50,517
You'll see the fjords.
299
00:10:50,583 --> 00:10:51,952
Then we got a history
Of the fjords.
300
00:10:52,019 --> 00:10:53,353
Then we got a quiz
On the fjords.
301
00:10:53,420 --> 00:10:54,755
Do you have any idea
302
00:10:54,822 --> 00:10:56,023
How much I'd like to
Dress you in lederhosen
303
00:10:56,089 --> 00:10:57,825
And drop kick you
Into a fjord?
304
00:10:57,891 --> 00:10:59,459
President:
You don't know how
To have fun traveling.
305
00:10:59,526 --> 00:11:01,661
It was quite a trip.
306
00:11:01,729 --> 00:11:04,197
It's not over yet.
307
00:11:05,866 --> 00:11:07,267
( sneezes )
308
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:21,982
Josh.
Hmm.
309
00:11:22,049 --> 00:11:23,116
Here.
310
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:24,351
What's that?
311
00:11:24,417 --> 00:11:26,219
It's sam's foul weather
Gear. Drink this.
312
00:11:26,286 --> 00:11:27,454
Coffee?
313
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,358
It's strong.
Drink it all.
314
00:11:31,424 --> 00:11:32,459
It's from yesterday
315
00:11:32,525 --> 00:11:34,127
So it might not
Be hot anymore.
316
00:11:34,194 --> 00:11:35,763
What time is this
This person coming?
317
00:11:35,829 --> 00:11:37,364
40 minutes. Put this on.
318
00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:38,799
I'm not wearing that.
319
00:11:38,866 --> 00:11:40,768
There's a one-hour cleaners
On connecticut.
320
00:11:40,834 --> 00:11:42,102
He'll be here in 40 minutes.
321
00:11:42,169 --> 00:11:44,204
Zuzu'll do it in half an hour.
322
00:11:44,271 --> 00:11:45,072
Who's zuzu?
323
00:11:45,138 --> 00:11:46,673
The guy from the dry cleaner's.
324
00:11:46,740 --> 00:11:47,674
Change your clothes.
325
00:11:47,741 --> 00:11:48,876
His name is zuzu?
326
00:11:48,942 --> 00:11:50,443
Change your clothes.
327
00:11:50,510 --> 00:11:51,378
I'm going to look like
328
00:11:51,444 --> 00:11:52,645
The gorton's fisherman
329
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:54,214
In this thing.
330
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:03,490
With passover on the horizon
331
00:12:03,556 --> 00:12:07,627
Millions of jews will gather
Around seder tables.
332
00:12:07,694 --> 00:12:09,963
We'll sing our songs
333
00:12:10,030 --> 00:12:11,731
And ask our questions.
334
00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:13,233
( beeping )
335
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:15,769
About the stick
That beat the dog
336
00:12:15,836 --> 00:12:18,471
That bit the cat
That ate the kid.
337
00:12:18,538 --> 00:12:20,007
( beeping stops )
338
00:12:20,073 --> 00:12:21,574
We'll sing not only
To entertain our children
339
00:12:21,641 --> 00:12:27,047
But to be reminded by the
Haggadah the simple truth:
340
00:12:27,114 --> 00:12:30,183
That violence begets violence.
341
00:12:32,652 --> 00:12:34,721
Vengeance...
342
00:12:34,788 --> 00:12:36,623
Is not jewish.
343
00:12:36,689 --> 00:12:41,494
We'll pour ten drops
From our cups...
344
00:12:41,561 --> 00:12:42,429
Sam seaborn.
345
00:12:42,495 --> 00:12:43,363
What do you want?
346
00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:44,464
How you doing?
347
00:12:44,531 --> 00:12:45,999
Sam, I'm at temple right now.
348
00:12:46,066 --> 00:12:49,069
Is your rabbi giving a sermon
On capital punishment?
349
00:12:49,136 --> 00:12:49,870
What?
350
00:12:49,937 --> 00:12:51,004
Is you rabbi giving a sermon
351
00:12:51,839 --> 00:12:53,907
No matter how
On capital deep our desire
352
00:12:53,974 --> 00:12:55,308
To witness
The suffering
353
00:12:55,375 --> 00:12:56,576
Of our enemies
354
00:12:56,643 --> 00:13:00,680
We are commanded to relocate
Our humanity.
355
00:13:00,747 --> 00:13:04,484
Vengeance is
Not jewish.
356
00:13:04,551 --> 00:13:05,385
Yeah, he is.
357
00:13:05,452 --> 00:13:07,354
How did you know that?
358
00:13:07,420 --> 00:13:08,889
I'll explain it to you
When you get over here.
359
00:13:08,956 --> 00:13:10,657
Why am I coming over there?
360
00:13:10,723 --> 00:13:12,192
The appeal was denied.
361
00:13:12,259 --> 00:13:14,394
All right, I'm on my way.
362
00:13:15,762 --> 00:13:16,796
The quietly...
363
00:13:16,864 --> 00:13:19,967
( loud clattering )
364
00:13:22,035 --> 00:13:23,736
Are you the unmitigated jackass
365
00:13:23,803 --> 00:13:25,272
Who has the d.N.C.
Choking off funding
366
00:13:25,338 --> 00:13:28,375
For the o'dwyer campaign
In the california 46th?
367
00:13:28,441 --> 00:13:30,911
What in god's name
Is happening right now?
368
00:13:30,978 --> 00:13:33,046
I'm joey lucas.
369
00:13:33,113 --> 00:13:34,681
You're joey lucas?
370
00:13:34,747 --> 00:13:35,548
No, I'm
371
00:13:35,615 --> 00:13:37,985
Joey lucas.
372
00:13:38,051 --> 00:13:40,720
Help me, 'cause I, I don't...
373
00:13:40,787 --> 00:13:44,257
You idiot, I'm joey lucas!
374
00:13:44,324 --> 00:13:46,326
Oh.
375
00:13:46,393 --> 00:13:47,094
Ah.
376
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,997
Okay. I'm josh lyman.
377
00:13:50,063 --> 00:13:51,464
I know who you are.
378
00:13:51,531 --> 00:13:53,700
You're joey lucas?
379
00:13:53,766 --> 00:13:54,767
What were you
Expecting?
380
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:55,768
A man.
381
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:57,170
I'm a woman.
382
00:13:57,237 --> 00:13:59,772
You're o'dwyer's
Campaign manager?
383
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:02,342
Yes, and I have
Three sources.
384
00:14:02,409 --> 00:14:04,177
Two at the d.N.C....
385
00:14:04,244 --> 00:14:06,546
What the hell
Are you wearing?
386
00:14:06,613 --> 00:14:07,480
Me?
387
00:14:07,547 --> 00:14:08,481
Yes.
388
00:14:08,548 --> 00:14:10,650
I was, I, uh... I-I spilled
389
00:14:10,717 --> 00:14:11,952
Some things on my clothes.
390
00:14:12,019 --> 00:14:13,153
Tell you what,
Let's just
391
00:14:13,220 --> 00:14:14,521
Take a deep breath
For a second
392
00:14:14,587 --> 00:14:16,756
While I try to remember
393
00:14:16,823 --> 00:14:20,360
Where I am right now.
394
00:14:20,427 --> 00:14:21,895
Are you drunk?
395
00:14:21,962 --> 00:14:24,031
I have a very delicate system.
396
00:14:24,097 --> 00:14:26,266
Okay, look, I'm totally
Serious about this.
397
00:14:26,333 --> 00:14:28,701
I'm trying to get a guy
Elected to congress
398
00:14:28,768 --> 00:14:30,070
It's going to be
A very tight race
399
00:14:30,137 --> 00:14:31,638
And I want to know why
The white house
400
00:14:31,704 --> 00:14:33,140
Is screwing around with me.
401
00:14:33,206 --> 00:14:34,707
Excuse me.
Thank god.
402
00:14:34,774 --> 00:14:35,943
What's going on?
403
00:14:36,009 --> 00:14:38,678
This is
My assistant, donna moss.
404
00:14:38,745 --> 00:14:41,614
Donna, joey lucas.
405
00:14:41,681 --> 00:14:42,549
Hi.
406
00:14:42,615 --> 00:14:44,117
I'm just going to go...
407
00:14:44,184 --> 00:14:46,819
I-I-I'm going to go
Change my clothes.
408
00:14:46,886 --> 00:14:49,289
I-I'll be right back.
409
00:14:51,791 --> 00:14:53,426
I got stuck
At dupont circle again.Nough.
410
00:14:53,493 --> 00:14:55,795
You have any idea how
Dumb I looked in there?
411
00:14:55,862 --> 00:14:57,297
So joey lucas
Is a woman?
412
00:14:57,364 --> 00:14:58,031
Yes.
413
00:14:58,098 --> 00:14:59,599
And she's deaf?
Yes.
414
00:14:59,666 --> 00:15:00,600
Cool.
415
00:15:00,667 --> 00:15:01,868
Give me those.
416
00:15:01,935 --> 00:15:02,869
You need to
Go see sam.
417
00:15:02,936 --> 00:15:04,304
What's sam doing here?
418
00:15:04,371 --> 00:15:06,806
He told me to tell you
The appeal was denied.
419
00:15:06,873 --> 00:15:08,808
What are you
Talking about?
420
00:15:08,875 --> 00:15:11,778
All he said was the
Appeal was denied.
421
00:15:11,844 --> 00:15:14,181
Oh, man.
422
00:15:14,247 --> 00:15:15,848
Make sure they're
Going to be okay in there.
423
00:15:15,915 --> 00:15:17,450
This may take
A few minutes.
424
00:15:18,818 --> 00:15:21,254
Are you saying my rabbi
Wrote a sermon just for me?
425
00:15:21,321 --> 00:15:22,222
Yeah.
426
00:15:22,289 --> 00:15:23,723
How did he know what
Was going on here?
427
00:15:23,790 --> 00:15:26,259
One of the public defenders,
A guy named bobby zane.
428
00:15:26,326 --> 00:15:28,295
One of the public defenders
Spoke to my rabbi?
429
00:15:28,361 --> 00:15:29,929
How did he know
Where I go to temple?
430
00:15:29,997 --> 00:15:33,000
How did he know I
Even go to temple?
431
00:15:33,066 --> 00:15:34,034
I thought they were
Sending it back
432
00:15:34,101 --> 00:15:35,935
To the sixth circuit.
433
00:15:36,003 --> 00:15:37,004
I thought so, too.
434
00:15:37,070 --> 00:15:37,971
Where's the president?
435
00:15:38,038 --> 00:15:38,871
In the residence.
436
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:40,040
Is justice briefing us?
437
00:15:40,107 --> 00:15:42,075
In a minute.
When's the execution?
438
00:15:42,142 --> 00:15:43,076
Sunday, 12:01.
439
00:15:43,143 --> 00:15:44,677
Monday, 12:01.
440
00:15:44,744 --> 00:15:45,778
A minute after
Midnight tomorrow.
441
00:15:45,845 --> 00:15:47,080
Lethal injection?
Yeah.
442
00:15:47,147 --> 00:15:49,316
You sleep in a dumpster
Last night?
443
00:15:49,382 --> 00:15:50,850
Possibly.
444
00:15:50,917 --> 00:15:51,985
Why aren't you
Sailing right now?
445
00:15:52,052 --> 00:15:52,919
I stayed.
446
00:15:52,986 --> 00:15:54,287
Is there
Any evidence
447
00:15:54,354 --> 00:15:56,056
That capital punishment
Serves as a deterrent?
448
00:15:56,123 --> 00:15:57,524
Speculative
Evidence at best.
449
00:15:57,590 --> 00:15:59,292
What are the stats
On federal executions
450
00:15:59,359 --> 00:16:00,860
And the president
Stepping in?
451
00:16:00,927 --> 00:16:02,462
'63 was the last execution.
452
00:16:02,529 --> 00:16:04,697
Who was the last
To commute a sentence?
Lincoln.
453
00:16:04,764 --> 00:16:05,632
Abraham?
454
00:16:05,698 --> 00:16:06,633
No, bert lincoln.
455
00:16:06,699 --> 00:16:07,434
Mandy, what are you...?
456
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:08,968
I'm asking.
457
00:16:09,036 --> 00:16:10,570
I don't want a debate
The death penalty.
458
00:16:10,637 --> 00:16:11,838
Let's get
Some stuff together
459
00:16:11,904 --> 00:16:13,106
And get ready
For the president.
460
00:16:13,173 --> 00:16:15,108
I'll start working
With c.J.
461
00:16:15,175 --> 00:16:16,543
I got to get back to...
462
00:16:16,609 --> 00:16:20,347
Oh, by the way sam,
Joey lucas is waiting
463
00:16:20,413 --> 00:16:21,681
For me in my
Office right now.
464
00:16:21,748 --> 00:16:22,949
What's he like?
465
00:16:23,016 --> 00:16:24,117
Well, for a
Campaign manager
466
00:16:24,184 --> 00:16:24,984
He's got
Very nice legs.
467
00:16:25,052 --> 00:16:26,119
He's a woman.
468
00:16:26,186 --> 00:16:28,621
Yes, he is.
He's also deaf
469
00:16:28,688 --> 00:16:29,856
And very pissed.
470
00:16:29,922 --> 00:16:31,458
Be right back.
471
00:16:36,396 --> 00:16:38,198
Sam.
472
00:16:38,265 --> 00:16:39,566
You know, there's room
473
00:16:39,632 --> 00:16:41,334
To give the president
Some judicial cover
474
00:16:41,401 --> 00:16:43,603
If he wants
To commute.
Sam.
475
00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:44,537
This guy was convicted
476
00:16:44,604 --> 00:16:47,707
Of three murders
By a mexican court.
477
00:16:47,774 --> 00:16:49,342
What does that
Matter to us?
478
00:16:49,409 --> 00:16:51,711
During the penalty
Phase, the trial judge
Let the prosecutor
479
00:16:51,778 --> 00:16:54,347
Introduce the evidence
Of the mexican convictions.
480
00:16:54,414 --> 00:16:56,183
The mexican courts are
Ridiculous. That never...
481
00:16:56,249 --> 00:16:57,317
How did
The public defender
482
00:16:57,384 --> 00:16:59,252
Know I was at that temple?
483
00:16:59,319 --> 00:17:01,554
This guy didn't have
Great legal counsel.
484
00:17:01,621 --> 00:17:03,523
How did he know
Where I was going to be?
485
00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:04,524
I told him.
486
00:17:04,591 --> 00:17:05,558
You told him?
487
00:17:05,625 --> 00:17:07,927
Yeah.
488
00:17:07,994 --> 00:17:09,162
Sam, what are you doing
489
00:17:09,229 --> 00:17:10,297
Giving out that kind
Of information?
490
00:17:10,363 --> 00:17:11,798
I know.
I don't know.
491
00:17:11,864 --> 00:17:14,367
Right at that moment,
It seemed like what I should do.
492
00:17:14,434 --> 00:17:16,503
He's not going to commute
The sentence, sam.
493
00:17:16,569 --> 00:17:20,039
We don't know what
The president's going to do.
494
00:17:20,107 --> 00:17:23,110
It seemed
Like what you should do?
495
00:17:23,176 --> 00:17:24,911
Yeah.
496
00:17:24,977 --> 00:17:27,280
Okay.
497
00:17:30,183 --> 00:17:31,518
Leo:
So, anyway
498
00:17:31,584 --> 00:17:34,387
He was tried
And found guilty four years ago
499
00:17:34,454 --> 00:17:36,556
In the district court
In michigan
500
00:17:36,623 --> 00:17:40,360
And the sixth circuit
Turned down his appeal.
501
00:17:40,427 --> 00:17:43,763
The supreme court gave him
A stay, heard the case
502
00:17:43,830 --> 00:17:45,598
And turned him down, 5-3.
503
00:17:45,665 --> 00:17:46,999
We've got to get mendoza
On the bench.
504
00:17:47,066 --> 00:17:48,201
Well, that's
Monday's problem.
505
00:17:48,268 --> 00:17:49,402
Your problem's today.
506
00:17:49,469 --> 00:17:51,138
Why is it my
Problem at all?
507
00:17:51,204 --> 00:17:52,071
As opposed to who?
508
00:17:52,139 --> 00:17:53,440
The governor of michigan.
509
00:17:53,506 --> 00:17:54,841
Oh, you mean why isn't
It a state crime?
510
00:17:54,907 --> 00:17:56,008
Yeah.
511
00:17:56,075 --> 00:17:58,010
He was prosecuted
By the u.S. Attorney
512
00:17:58,077 --> 00:17:59,446
Under the '88
Drug kingpin law
513
00:17:59,512 --> 00:18:03,150
That was modified into
The '94 omnibus crime bill.
514
00:18:03,216 --> 00:18:04,384
Which allows
For the death penalty
515
00:18:04,451 --> 00:18:06,419
In certain
Drug-related homicides.
516
00:18:06,486 --> 00:18:09,156
Well, basically. The
Deputy a.G.'s office
517
00:18:09,222 --> 00:18:10,923
Is putting together
A briefing for you.
518
00:18:10,990 --> 00:18:11,791
How long?
519
00:18:11,858 --> 00:18:13,393
About an hour.
520
00:18:13,460 --> 00:18:14,694
Okay, I'll wait
For that then.
521
00:18:14,761 --> 00:18:15,895
Yeah.
522
00:18:15,962 --> 00:18:16,963
I'm going to want
To see our people
523
00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:18,097
Over the
Next few days.
524
00:18:18,165 --> 00:18:20,500
Everyone's here
Or on their way.
525
00:18:20,567 --> 00:18:22,502
I'm not going to be
Very good at this, leo.
526
00:18:22,569 --> 00:18:23,703
Well, you'll
Be joining
527
00:18:23,770 --> 00:18:25,538
A pretty big club,
Mr. President.
528
00:18:25,605 --> 00:18:27,140
Yeah. Charlie!
529
00:18:27,207 --> 00:18:28,175
I'll call you when the guys
530
00:18:28,241 --> 00:18:28,975
Have put something together.
531
00:18:29,041 --> 00:18:29,876
Thank you.
532
00:18:29,942 --> 00:18:31,911
Thank you, mr. President.
533
00:18:31,978 --> 00:18:33,280
Yes, sir?
534
00:18:33,346 --> 00:18:34,881
Charlie, there's a priest
In hanover.
535
00:18:34,947 --> 00:18:36,383
His name is thomas cavanaugh.
536
00:18:36,449 --> 00:18:38,518
He's at the immaculate heart
Of mary.
537
00:18:38,585 --> 00:18:40,086
I'd like to arrange
To have him come
538
00:18:40,153 --> 00:18:42,555
Spend some time
With me this weekend.
539
00:18:42,622 --> 00:18:44,791
It's very important that the
White house not pay for this.
540
00:18:44,857 --> 00:18:45,592
This is my nickel.
541
00:18:45,658 --> 00:18:47,059
Yes, sir.
542
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:49,196
And I'm going to, uh...
543
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:52,064
I'm sorry, sir?
544
00:18:52,131 --> 00:18:53,633
( sighs )
545
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:55,134
No, never mind.
546
00:18:55,202 --> 00:18:56,503
Yeah.
547
00:18:56,569 --> 00:18:58,004
I'm going to want
To talk to the pope.
548
00:18:58,070 --> 00:18:58,971
Yes, sir.
Charlie?
549
00:18:59,038 --> 00:19:00,106
Yes, sir.
550
00:19:00,173 --> 00:19:01,708
I'm going to ask
You a question.
551
00:19:01,774 --> 00:19:03,476
And this is one of those times
It's okay to tell me
552
00:19:03,543 --> 00:19:05,212
I've stepped over the line
And I should
553
00:19:05,278 --> 00:19:07,414
Shut my
Mouth, okay?
Okay.
554
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,483
What happened to the guy
Who shot your mother?
555
00:19:10,550 --> 00:19:12,619
They haven't found
Him yet, sir.
556
00:19:12,685 --> 00:19:17,224
If they did, would you want
To see him executed?
557
00:19:17,290 --> 00:19:18,090
Killing a
Police officer
558
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:19,392
Is a capital crime.
559
00:19:19,459 --> 00:19:21,694
I figured you must have thought
About it.
560
00:19:21,761 --> 00:19:22,729
Yes, sir.
561
00:19:22,795 --> 00:19:24,264
And?
562
00:19:24,331 --> 00:19:25,265
I wouldn't want to see
563
00:19:25,332 --> 00:19:29,001
Him executed,
Mr. President.
564
00:19:29,068 --> 00:19:31,338
I'd want to do it myself.
565
00:19:36,142 --> 00:19:38,645
Yeah.
566
00:19:40,547 --> 00:19:43,115
I'll get the ball rolling
On these arrangements.
567
00:19:43,182 --> 00:19:44,584
Thank you, charlie.
568
00:19:44,651 --> 00:19:46,819
Thank you, mr. President.
569
00:19:56,128 --> 00:19:57,430
Against
A conservative republican
570
00:19:57,497 --> 00:19:59,366
Who's held his seat
For over 30 years.
571
00:19:59,432 --> 00:20:01,934
He opposed gay rights,
Abortion, gun control
572
00:20:02,001 --> 00:20:04,337
And raising the minimum wage,
And supports
573
00:20:04,404 --> 00:20:06,105
Government-sponsored prayer
In the schools
574
00:20:06,172 --> 00:20:09,141
And amending the bill of rights
To prohibit burning the flag.
575
00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:11,110
For the first time
In three decades
576
00:20:11,177 --> 00:20:12,612
We have a chance to beat him.
577
00:20:12,679 --> 00:20:15,147
Why are you telling the d.N.C.
To cut down my funding?
578
00:20:15,214 --> 00:20:17,284
Because you have
A chance to beat him.
579
00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:18,485
Excuse me?
580
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:19,852
We've been watching
Your campaign.
581
00:20:19,919 --> 00:20:22,389
You're doing
Way too well.
582
00:20:22,455 --> 00:20:23,423
Are you deranged?
583
00:20:23,490 --> 00:20:24,757
He's a preposterous figure.
584
00:20:24,824 --> 00:20:27,360
We want to keep him
Right where he is.
585
00:20:27,427 --> 00:20:28,628
You mean you want
To keep him on
586
00:20:28,695 --> 00:20:30,263
As a poster boy
For the radical right?
587
00:20:30,330 --> 00:20:32,799
Joey, every time he comes out
With one of his declarations
588
00:20:32,865 --> 00:20:34,634
About brown people
Crossing the border
589
00:20:34,701 --> 00:20:37,604
The d.N.C. Slaps it
Into a direct mail campaign
590
00:20:37,670 --> 00:20:39,238
And he's good
For $2 or $3
Million.
591
00:20:39,306 --> 00:20:40,840
I want to speak
To the president.
592
00:20:40,907 --> 00:20:43,009
Oh, no problem.
593
00:20:43,075 --> 00:20:44,477
I'm perfectly serious.
594
00:20:44,544 --> 00:20:45,778
The president doesn't take
Meetings on this level.
595
00:20:45,845 --> 00:20:47,079
I don't even take
596
00:20:47,146 --> 00:20:49,248
Meetings on
This level.
What level is that?
597
00:20:49,316 --> 00:20:50,583
Joey...
598
00:20:50,650 --> 00:20:52,319
You should be
Afraid of me, pal.
599
00:20:52,385 --> 00:20:54,987
I can create problems for you
You've never even heard of.
600
00:20:55,054 --> 00:20:57,424
I'm not hearing party loyalty.
601
00:20:57,490 --> 00:20:58,858
Maybe if your head
Wasn't so far up...
602
00:20:58,925 --> 00:20:59,826
Hey.
603
00:20:59,892 --> 00:21:01,060
I want to speak
To the president.
604
00:21:01,127 --> 00:21:03,129
Hey, lunatic lady
605
00:21:03,195 --> 00:21:04,464
Trust me
When I tell you
606
00:21:04,531 --> 00:21:06,466
That there is
Absolutely no way
607
00:21:06,533 --> 00:21:07,700
That you are going to see
The president.
608
00:21:07,767 --> 00:21:10,503
Hey, josh.
609
00:21:10,570 --> 00:21:11,804
Hello, mr. President.
Welcome back.
610
00:21:11,871 --> 00:21:13,072
How are you?
611
00:21:13,139 --> 00:21:15,475
Well, I'd like this day
To be over pretty bad.
612
00:21:15,542 --> 00:21:16,343
Who are your friends?
613
00:21:16,409 --> 00:21:18,745
Uh, this is joey lucas.
614
00:21:18,811 --> 00:21:19,812
How are you?
615
00:21:19,879 --> 00:21:21,314
An honor to meet you,
Mr. President.
616
00:21:21,381 --> 00:21:22,315
Thank you.
617
00:21:22,382 --> 00:21:23,350
And this is
Kenny somebody.
618
00:21:23,416 --> 00:21:24,584
Hi, kenny.
Thurman.
619
00:21:24,651 --> 00:21:25,952
We were just
Finishing up.
620
00:21:26,018 --> 00:21:28,455
I was just wandering
The halls and thinking.
621
00:21:29,889 --> 00:21:32,291
Why don't you let me
Show these people off,
And...
622
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,726
I can wander the halls with you.
623
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,128
Have you ever seen
The white house?
624
00:21:36,195 --> 00:21:37,364
No, sir.
625
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:38,164
Let's take a walk.
626
00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:39,966
Sir?
Come on.
627
00:21:40,032 --> 00:21:41,334
Yes, sir.
628
00:21:41,401 --> 00:21:42,635
C.J.:
Carol, good.
629
00:21:42,702 --> 00:21:45,772
I need biographical information
On simon cruz.
630
00:21:45,838 --> 00:21:46,973
Is it c-r-u-z?
631
00:21:47,974 --> 00:21:49,676
What kind of
Biographical
I don't know.Information?
632
00:21:49,742 --> 00:21:51,210
We'll need to know
How to spell his name.
633
00:21:51,277 --> 00:21:52,311
Do you read lips?
634
00:21:52,379 --> 00:21:54,180
Yes, sir.
635
00:21:54,246 --> 00:21:55,382
Joey?
636
00:21:55,448 --> 00:21:56,516
Yes, sir.
637
00:21:56,583 --> 00:21:58,217
Is that short for joanne?
638
00:21:58,284 --> 00:22:00,420
Josephine.
639
00:22:00,487 --> 00:22:02,389
And your last name
Is lucas?
640
00:22:02,455 --> 00:22:03,423
Yes, sir.
641
00:22:03,490 --> 00:22:04,857
Is that polish?
642
00:22:04,924 --> 00:22:07,093
Dutch.
643
00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:08,361
Protestant?
644
00:22:08,428 --> 00:22:10,763
Quaker.
645
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:13,633
Well, this is
The oval office.
646
00:22:17,837 --> 00:22:19,906
Come in, please.
647
00:22:19,972 --> 00:22:21,508
Sit down.
648
00:22:21,574 --> 00:22:23,776
( clears his throat )
649
00:22:26,112 --> 00:22:28,615
Where did you
Go to school?
650
00:22:28,681 --> 00:22:32,084
Ucla and stanford.
651
00:22:32,151 --> 00:22:34,854
There's a guy named simon cruz
On death row.
652
00:22:34,921 --> 00:22:37,657
He's going to be executed
In about 36 hours.
653
00:22:37,724 --> 00:22:39,526
What do you think I should do?
654
00:22:43,430 --> 00:22:44,664
Stay the execution.
655
00:22:44,731 --> 00:22:47,099
Why?
656
00:22:47,166 --> 00:22:48,067
Because the state
657
00:22:48,134 --> 00:22:49,135
Shouldn't kill people.
658
00:22:49,201 --> 00:22:50,336
He was found guilty
659
00:22:50,403 --> 00:22:53,840
Of a double murder
And drug trafficking.
660
00:22:53,906 --> 00:22:55,875
Send him to prison.
661
00:22:55,942 --> 00:22:57,944
You're against
Capital punishment?
662
00:22:58,010 --> 00:22:59,111
Yes, sir.
663
00:22:59,178 --> 00:23:02,014
Did you study st. Augustine
At stanford?
664
00:23:02,081 --> 00:23:02,849
Yes, sir.
665
00:23:02,915 --> 00:23:04,083
Thomas aquinas?
666
00:23:04,150 --> 00:23:05,217
Yes, sir.
667
00:23:05,284 --> 00:23:07,554
Two smart guys, right?
Yes, sir.
668
00:23:07,620 --> 00:23:10,022
They believed in that part
Of the old testament which said
669
00:23:10,089 --> 00:23:14,193
"Who sheddeth a man's blood,
By man shall his blood be shed."
670
00:23:14,260 --> 00:23:16,996
And immanuel kant said
671
00:23:17,063 --> 00:23:19,599
That the death penalty
Is a categorical imperative.
672
00:23:19,666 --> 00:23:20,967
But, mr. President
673
00:23:21,033 --> 00:23:22,702
Those writings
Are from other centuries.
674
00:23:22,769 --> 00:23:24,270
I've got a harris poll says
675
00:23:24,336 --> 00:23:28,675
71% of the american people
Support capital punishment.
676
00:23:28,741 --> 00:23:31,043
That's a political problem.
677
00:23:31,110 --> 00:23:32,745
I'm a politician.
678
00:23:32,812 --> 00:23:33,780
Yes, sir.
679
00:23:35,448 --> 00:23:36,716
Thank you.
680
00:23:36,783 --> 00:23:39,085
Mr. President,
We should...
681
00:23:40,553 --> 00:23:41,921
Excuse me.
682
00:23:43,189 --> 00:23:44,691
Mr. President, I'm here
683
00:23:44,757 --> 00:23:45,925
Because I'm running
The campaign
684
00:23:45,992 --> 00:23:47,627
For bill o'dwyer,
Who's running...
685
00:23:47,694 --> 00:23:50,162
From the california 46th.
Yes, sir.
686
00:23:50,229 --> 00:23:51,798
O'dwyer's an empty shirt.
687
00:23:51,864 --> 00:23:52,932
Sir?
688
00:23:52,999 --> 00:23:54,667
I don't like guys
That run for congress
689
00:23:54,734 --> 00:23:57,504
Because they think
It's a great gig.
690
00:23:57,570 --> 00:23:59,572
Find yourself a live one
And I'll get interested.
691
00:23:59,639 --> 00:24:01,407
In the meantime,
The devil you know
692
00:24:01,474 --> 00:24:02,842
Beats the devil you don't
693
00:24:02,909 --> 00:24:04,276
And I like
The devil I got.
694
00:24:04,343 --> 00:24:05,478
But, sir...
695
00:24:05,545 --> 00:24:07,814
Josh'll take care of you
From here.
696
00:24:13,986 --> 00:24:15,154
We're going back
To the hotel.
697
00:24:15,221 --> 00:24:16,388
It was nice
Meeting you.
698
00:24:16,455 --> 00:24:17,824
Nice to meet you.
699
00:24:17,890 --> 00:24:19,225
That was me
Saying that.
700
00:24:19,291 --> 00:24:21,127
You didn't have a good time
Meeting me?
701
00:24:23,563 --> 00:24:24,463
You know what?
702
00:24:24,531 --> 00:24:28,400
I actually know that sign.
703
00:24:28,467 --> 00:24:30,369
Don't know that one, but...
704
00:24:30,436 --> 00:24:32,238
I can probably guess.
705
00:24:49,488 --> 00:24:51,123
Rabbi glassman?
706
00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:53,793
Toby, I didn't hear you
707
00:24:53,860 --> 00:24:56,062
Which is fairly unusual.
708
00:24:56,128 --> 00:24:58,731
Oh, yeah...
709
00:24:58,798 --> 00:25:01,734
You missed the end
Of my sermon yesterday.
710
00:25:01,801 --> 00:25:03,636
Yeah, well, I had to
Go back to my office
711
00:25:03,703 --> 00:25:06,072
And I think
You know why.
712
00:25:06,138 --> 00:25:08,708
A lawyer named bobby zane
Called me friday night.
713
00:25:08,775 --> 00:25:10,242
He told me
What was happening.
714
00:25:10,309 --> 00:25:13,680
He asked if I had
Any influence on toby ziegler.
715
00:25:13,746 --> 00:25:16,482
I told him clearly
He hadn't spent any time
716
00:25:16,549 --> 00:25:18,718
With toby ziegler.
717
00:25:18,785 --> 00:25:20,553
Um...
( woman singing )
718
00:25:20,620 --> 00:25:24,356
Oh, there'll be a funeral
Service in the morning.
719
00:25:24,423 --> 00:25:27,159
She's practicing a piece.
720
00:25:27,226 --> 00:25:27,860
That's funny.
721
00:25:27,927 --> 00:25:30,329
What?
722
00:25:30,396 --> 00:25:32,899
I never imagined
Them practicing.
723
00:25:32,965 --> 00:25:35,167
Day and night.
724
00:25:35,234 --> 00:25:36,035
Rabbi...
725
00:25:36,102 --> 00:25:37,904
You and bobby zane--
726
00:25:37,970 --> 00:25:39,105
What were you
Expecting of me
727
00:25:39,171 --> 00:25:40,940
When you gave your
Sermon yesterday?
728
00:25:41,007 --> 00:25:42,775
Well, I suppose
There was some hope
729
00:25:42,842 --> 00:25:44,777
You might take
The sabbath day
730
00:25:44,844 --> 00:25:46,512
To consider
Your position.
731
00:25:46,579 --> 00:25:49,448
( woman continues singing )
732
00:25:49,515 --> 00:25:51,217
As communications director
733
00:25:51,283 --> 00:25:53,753
I'm a counselor to the
President, to be sure.
734
00:25:53,820 --> 00:25:59,792
But my role in these
Situations is generally...
735
00:25:59,859 --> 00:26:02,795
I create a public
Face for what...
736
00:26:02,862 --> 00:26:04,764
I don't influence policy.
737
00:26:04,831 --> 00:26:06,465
Of course you do.
738
00:26:06,532 --> 00:26:07,967
You want me to go
Into the oval office
739
00:26:08,034 --> 00:26:10,269
And say, "Vengeance
Is not jewish"?
740
00:26:10,336 --> 00:26:11,503
Why not?
741
00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:13,740
For one thing,
Neither is the
President.
742
00:26:13,806 --> 00:26:15,574
You can say all you want
About the catholic church
743
00:26:15,642 --> 00:26:18,277
But their position
On life is unimpeachable:
744
00:26:18,344 --> 00:26:19,912
No abortion,
No death penalty.
745
00:26:19,979 --> 00:26:22,281
I spent the day...
Hoping the president
746
00:26:22,348 --> 00:26:23,883
Wouldn't call the pope.
747
00:26:23,950 --> 00:26:25,351
You're damn right;
I did.
748
00:26:25,417 --> 00:26:27,754
If he commuted the sentence
After talking to the pope
749
00:26:27,820 --> 00:26:29,555
The worst fears
Of every non-catholic
750
00:26:29,622 --> 00:26:32,992
Who voted for him
Would be realized.
751
00:26:33,059 --> 00:26:34,493
Congratulations,
Rabbi glassman
752
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,765
You may now join
The white house
Communications staff.
753
00:26:38,831 --> 00:26:42,635
Look, toby, you look like
You're having a long weekend.
754
00:26:42,702 --> 00:26:47,439
I appreciate the courtesy
Of you stopping by.
755
00:26:47,506 --> 00:26:51,177
Well, uh, you're welcome.
756
00:26:51,243 --> 00:26:53,112
The torah doesn't prohibit
Capital punishment.
757
00:26:53,179 --> 00:26:55,181
Woman:
Okay, let's try that again...
758
00:26:55,247 --> 00:26:55,982
No.
759
00:26:56,048 --> 00:26:57,784
It says "An eye for an eye."
760
00:26:57,850 --> 00:26:59,686
You know what
It also says?
761
00:26:59,752 --> 00:27:01,153
It says a rebellious child
762
00:27:01,220 --> 00:27:04,123
Can be brought to the city gates
And stoned to death.
763
00:27:04,190 --> 00:27:06,726
It says homosexuality
Is an abomination
764
00:27:06,793 --> 00:27:08,394
And punishable by death.
765
00:27:08,460 --> 00:27:12,732
It says men can be polygamous
And slavery is acceptable.
766
00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:14,867
For all I know
767
00:27:14,934 --> 00:27:19,071
That thinking reflected
The best wisdom of its time.
768
00:27:19,138 --> 00:27:24,210
But it's just plain wrong
By any modern standard.
769
00:27:24,276 --> 00:27:25,277
Society has a right
770
00:27:25,344 --> 00:27:26,979
To protect itself.
771
00:27:27,046 --> 00:27:29,882
But it doesn't have a right
To be vengeful.
772
00:27:29,949 --> 00:27:32,184
It has a right to punish
773
00:27:32,251 --> 00:27:38,190
But it doesn't have a right
To kill.
774
00:27:38,257 --> 00:27:39,491
You know what I think?
775
00:27:39,558 --> 00:27:42,028
I think you knew I
Was coming back here
776
00:27:42,094 --> 00:27:45,164
And I think you
Put her there
On purpose.
777
00:27:45,231 --> 00:27:49,435
She's our
Communications director.
778
00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:50,737
( chuckles )
779
00:27:50,803 --> 00:27:52,404
Yeah, well, anyway.
780
00:27:52,471 --> 00:27:53,372
Shalom, toby.
781
00:27:53,439 --> 00:27:56,408
Shalom, rabbi.
782
00:27:56,475 --> 00:28:00,279
( woman continues singing )
783
00:28:07,053 --> 00:28:09,088
C.J.?
Yeah?
784
00:28:09,155 --> 00:28:11,390
You have everything
You need?
Yeah.
785
00:28:11,457 --> 00:28:13,793
I mean, for a briefing.
786
00:28:13,860 --> 00:28:16,095
I have his
Biographical information.
787
00:28:16,162 --> 00:28:18,464
His mother's name is sophia.
788
00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:19,565
Sophia.
789
00:28:19,631 --> 00:28:21,567
You'll need
More than that.
790
00:28:21,633 --> 00:28:24,036
I have more than that.
791
00:28:24,103 --> 00:28:24,837
Okay.
792
00:28:24,904 --> 00:28:26,572
You know, I have
No position
793
00:28:26,638 --> 00:28:28,207
On capital punishment.
794
00:28:30,743 --> 00:28:32,144
I'm trying to get
Worked up about it
795
00:28:32,211 --> 00:28:33,946
'cause it seems like I should,
But the truth is
796
00:28:34,013 --> 00:28:37,049
I honestly don't care
If simon cruz lives or dies
797
00:28:37,116 --> 00:28:39,118
And I suppose if it brings
Some measure of comfort
798
00:28:39,185 --> 00:28:41,620
To the families of the victims,
Then why the hell not?
799
00:28:41,687 --> 00:28:43,022
That's valid.
800
00:28:43,089 --> 00:28:45,057
So, here's my job tonight.
801
00:28:45,124 --> 00:28:49,161
If this thing happens
802
00:28:49,228 --> 00:28:50,396
At 12:01
803
00:28:50,462 --> 00:28:52,298
He'll get the
Injection...
C.J.
804
00:28:52,364 --> 00:28:56,668
No, I'm saying-- I'm
Reading it right here.
805
00:28:56,735 --> 00:28:57,736
"The first
Sign of death
806
00:28:57,804 --> 00:28:59,906
"Will be his
Hands twitching.
807
00:28:59,972 --> 00:29:01,107
"After 60 seconds
808
00:29:01,173 --> 00:29:03,209
"He'll strain against
The straps.
809
00:29:03,275 --> 00:29:05,311
"His head will have
Snapped back violently
810
00:29:05,377 --> 00:29:09,181
"And after 90 seconds
He'll be in convulsions.
811
00:29:09,248 --> 00:29:14,553
At 12:04 he'll be
Pronounced dead."
812
00:29:14,620 --> 00:29:19,926
He killed two people,
Probably more.
813
00:29:19,992 --> 00:29:21,794
I'm sorry, I don't
Get worked up over it.
814
00:29:21,861 --> 00:29:23,095
Me neither.
815
00:29:23,162 --> 00:29:25,865
That's what I'm
Saying-- me neither.
816
00:29:25,932 --> 00:29:29,836
Except... At 12:04
817
00:29:29,902 --> 00:29:33,405
'cause that's when
The warden calls me.
818
00:29:33,472 --> 00:29:34,907
That's my job tonight.
819
00:29:34,974 --> 00:29:37,409
I have to go in and
Tell the president
820
00:29:37,476 --> 00:29:38,610
That simon cruz is dead
821
00:29:38,677 --> 00:29:43,282
And we're the ones
Who killed him.
822
00:29:43,349 --> 00:29:46,986
So... I just...
823
00:29:47,053 --> 00:29:49,822
Wish I didn't know his
Mother's name was sophia
824
00:29:49,889 --> 00:29:51,958
Is all I'm saying.
825
00:29:57,729 --> 00:29:59,565
Okay.
826
00:30:16,248 --> 00:30:17,749
Mr. President?
827
00:30:17,816 --> 00:30:19,151
Toby's here.
828
00:30:19,218 --> 00:30:22,588
Okay.
829
00:30:22,654 --> 00:30:23,322
Good afternoon, sir.
830
00:30:23,389 --> 00:30:24,290
Welcome back.
831
00:30:24,356 --> 00:30:25,791
Thank you.
832
00:30:25,858 --> 00:30:27,126
How was your trip?
833
00:30:27,193 --> 00:30:28,827
Fine.
834
00:30:28,895 --> 00:30:30,262
What do you need?
835
00:30:30,329 --> 00:30:33,365
I had a strange
Experience
This weekend.
836
00:30:33,432 --> 00:30:35,167
One of the p.D.S
On the cruz case--
837
00:30:35,234 --> 00:30:38,637
I guess trying the
Things you do when
You're desperate--
838
00:30:38,704 --> 00:30:41,273
He went and spoke to my rabbi.
839
00:30:41,340 --> 00:30:42,608
Jewish law
Doesn't prohibit...
840
00:30:42,674 --> 00:30:44,310
I know.
841
00:30:44,376 --> 00:30:46,879
The commandment does not say
"Thou shalt not kill."
842
00:30:46,946 --> 00:30:48,714
It says "Thou shalt not murder."
843
00:30:48,780 --> 00:30:51,783
I know, but the
Fact is that
844
00:30:51,850 --> 00:30:54,220
Even 2,000 years ago
845
00:30:54,286 --> 00:30:58,958
The rabbis of the talmud
Couldn't...
846
00:30:59,025 --> 00:31:00,859
Stomach it.
847
00:31:00,927 --> 00:31:02,128
I mean
848
00:31:02,194 --> 00:31:03,229
They weren't about
To rewrite the torah
849
00:31:03,295 --> 00:31:04,897
But they came up
With another way.
850
00:31:04,964 --> 00:31:06,899
They came up with
Legal restrictions
851
00:31:06,966 --> 00:31:12,871
Which make our
Criminal justice
System look...
852
00:31:12,939 --> 00:31:17,309
They made it impossible
For the state...
853
00:31:17,376 --> 00:31:20,646
To punish someone
By killing them.
854
00:31:20,712 --> 00:31:21,880
We make it very hard
855
00:31:21,948 --> 00:31:23,882
To kill anybody
In this country, toby.
856
00:31:23,950 --> 00:31:25,051
It should be impossible.
857
00:31:25,117 --> 00:31:25,884
But it's not.
858
00:31:25,952 --> 00:31:27,019
But it should be.
859
00:31:27,086 --> 00:31:28,320
( doorknob rattles )
860
00:31:34,260 --> 00:31:34,994
Hey.
861
00:31:35,061 --> 00:31:36,996
Hey, what's going on?
862
00:31:37,063 --> 00:31:39,065
Toby went to shul.
863
00:31:42,734 --> 00:31:44,703
Yeah.
864
00:31:44,770 --> 00:31:46,205
Thank you, mr. President.
865
00:31:53,579 --> 00:31:54,880
Japan opened huge.
866
00:31:54,947 --> 00:31:55,881
Yeah.
867
00:31:55,948 --> 00:31:57,516
Up two cents
Against the yen.
868
00:31:57,583 --> 00:32:00,019
I commute this guy
For no particular reason
869
00:32:00,086 --> 00:32:01,687
Other than I don't like
The death penalty...
870
00:32:01,753 --> 00:32:03,089
I know.
871
00:32:03,155 --> 00:32:05,924
...And the next president sees
It in a different way.
872
00:32:05,992 --> 00:32:08,860
I've laid track
To all kinds of...
873
00:32:08,927 --> 00:32:10,329
The next guy
Is going to have
874
00:32:10,396 --> 00:32:12,198
Eighth amendment problems
Up the ass.
875
00:32:12,264 --> 00:32:14,200
Well, that's the only thing
That's stopping you...
876
00:32:14,266 --> 00:32:15,968
We cannot execute
Some people
877
00:32:16,035 --> 00:32:18,204
And not execute others
878
00:32:18,270 --> 00:32:20,239
Depending on the mood
Of the oval office.
879
00:32:20,306 --> 00:32:21,840
It's cruel and unusual.
880
00:32:21,907 --> 00:32:24,643
If that's the only thing
Stopping you then I'll say this
881
00:32:24,710 --> 00:32:26,612
For the first time
In your presidency.
882
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,184
Let that be
The next guy's problem.
883
00:32:32,251 --> 00:32:34,486
( knocking )
884
00:32:34,553 --> 00:32:36,989
Mrs. Landingham:
Sir, sam seaborn.
885
00:32:37,056 --> 00:32:42,028
Okay. Give me a minute,
Please, nancy.
886
00:32:44,730 --> 00:32:45,864
I'll take care of it.
887
00:32:45,931 --> 00:32:47,466
Thank you.
888
00:32:49,135 --> 00:32:51,237
The u.S. Is one
Of five countries on earth
889
00:32:51,303 --> 00:32:53,172
That puts to death people
Who are under the age of 18
890
00:32:53,239 --> 00:32:54,773
When they committed
Their crime.
891
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,942
Nigeria.
Pakistan.
892
00:32:57,009 --> 00:32:58,610
Saudi arabia and iran.
893
00:32:58,677 --> 00:33:01,347
Yeah, so that's a list
We definitely want to be on.
894
00:33:01,413 --> 00:33:02,381
Sam?
895
00:33:02,448 --> 00:33:03,882
Leo, I put my notes
Together...
896
00:33:03,949 --> 00:33:05,051
Walk with me.
897
00:33:05,117 --> 00:33:06,352
Actually, I was
Hoping to see...
898
00:33:06,418 --> 00:33:08,287
You're not going
To see the president, sam.
899
00:33:08,354 --> 00:33:09,288
Leo...
900
00:33:09,355 --> 00:33:10,722
He's done.
901
00:33:10,789 --> 00:33:12,324
We have six hours.
902
00:33:12,391 --> 00:33:14,426
He's done.
903
00:33:14,493 --> 00:33:15,894
Leo, it's not
An impossible sell.
904
00:33:15,961 --> 00:33:17,563
I've lived longer
Than you, sam.
905
00:33:17,629 --> 00:33:18,797
Leo!
906
00:33:18,864 --> 00:33:19,931
He's done! And I got
To tell you, sam
907
00:33:19,998 --> 00:33:21,067
This was bungled!
908
00:33:21,133 --> 00:33:22,801
We were totally
Unprepared for this!
909
00:33:22,868 --> 00:33:24,303
We were caught
In the headlights!
910
00:33:24,370 --> 00:33:25,671
This thing was
Supposed to go back
911
00:33:25,737 --> 00:33:27,573
To the sixth circuit,
And I don't know how...
912
00:33:27,639 --> 00:33:28,874
What are you talking
About "Prepared"?
913
00:33:28,940 --> 00:33:30,076
The court sat.
914
00:33:30,142 --> 00:33:30,809
What would you have done
Different?
915
00:33:30,876 --> 00:33:31,943
I'd have...
916
00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:33,912
What would you have
Done different?
917
00:33:33,979 --> 00:33:39,618
You kept the president
Out of the country
Another two days?
918
00:33:39,685 --> 00:33:41,353
Yes.
919
00:33:45,224 --> 00:33:49,361
Leo, there are times
When we are absolutely nowhere.
920
00:33:56,868 --> 00:33:58,404
( playing soft music )
921
00:34:24,430 --> 00:34:26,031
Hello.
922
00:34:26,098 --> 00:34:27,333
Hello.
923
00:34:27,399 --> 00:34:28,367
Hi.
924
00:34:28,434 --> 00:34:29,168
Hi.
925
00:34:29,235 --> 00:34:32,037
Thank you for meeting me.
926
00:34:32,104 --> 00:34:34,973
Our flight's in one hour.
927
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,144
Aren't you impressed that I was
Able to track you down?
928
00:34:38,210 --> 00:34:38,910
Was it hard?
929
00:34:38,977 --> 00:34:40,479
It was very hard.
930
00:34:40,546 --> 00:34:44,216
I had to have my assistant
Call your office in california.
931
00:34:44,283 --> 00:34:46,218
It's funny. When I say it
Out loud like that
932
00:34:46,285 --> 00:34:48,454
It doesn't sound
That impressive.
933
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,590
Did you make me meet you here
So you could do more jokes?
934
00:34:51,657 --> 00:34:54,460
No, I came at the request
Of the president.
935
00:34:54,526 --> 00:34:56,262
He wanted you to know
That he felt that
936
00:34:56,328 --> 00:34:58,764
He was rude to you
In the oval office yesterday.
937
00:34:58,830 --> 00:35:02,234
He apologizes if he was
Abrupt about your problem
938
00:35:02,301 --> 00:35:04,136
And while the tightening
Of your funding
939
00:35:04,203 --> 00:35:05,871
Was political strategy
On our part
940
00:35:05,937 --> 00:35:09,208
He honestly feels that
Your candidate is a schmuck
941
00:35:09,275 --> 00:35:12,278
Who gives liberalism
A bad name.
942
00:35:15,847 --> 00:35:19,751
Yeah, I think so, too.
943
00:35:19,818 --> 00:35:20,552
I know you do.
944
00:35:20,619 --> 00:35:22,488
Why are you working for him?
945
00:35:22,554 --> 00:35:24,256
I'm a professional
Political operative.
946
00:35:24,323 --> 00:35:26,057
I need to work.
947
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:28,059
I mean, it's not
Exactly like there's
A seller's market
948
00:35:28,126 --> 00:35:30,162
For deaf campaign managers.
949
00:35:30,229 --> 00:35:32,198
I'd imagine.
950
00:35:34,065 --> 00:35:37,135
He also wanted me to tell you
That he meant what he said.
951
00:35:37,203 --> 00:35:39,104
Come up with a live one
And we'll get interested
952
00:35:39,171 --> 00:35:41,440
In a hurry.
953
00:35:41,507 --> 00:35:42,841
Did he have any suggestions?
954
00:35:42,908 --> 00:35:44,943
As a matter of fact, he did.
955
00:35:45,010 --> 00:35:47,679
Who?
956
00:35:47,746 --> 00:35:50,882
You.
957
00:35:57,756 --> 00:36:00,626
You guys have
A nice flight back.
958
00:36:29,921 --> 00:36:31,257
( knocking )
959
00:36:31,323 --> 00:36:34,793
Charlie:
Mr. President?
960
00:36:34,860 --> 00:36:36,862
Excuse me,
Mr. President?
961
00:36:36,928 --> 00:36:37,996
Yeah?
962
00:36:38,063 --> 00:36:39,765
Father cavanaugh.
963
00:36:39,831 --> 00:36:40,899
Thank you.
964
00:36:45,170 --> 00:36:46,872
Tom.
965
00:36:46,938 --> 00:36:49,207
Mr. President.
966
00:36:49,275 --> 00:36:51,243
Thank you, charlie.
967
00:36:54,346 --> 00:36:55,347
Thanks for coming
All the way down.
968
00:36:55,414 --> 00:36:56,848
It was no trouble.
969
00:36:56,915 --> 00:36:59,351
I'm just sorry
I couldn't get
Here until now.
970
00:36:59,418 --> 00:37:01,019
Yeah, it seems
Like a wasted trip.
971
00:37:01,086 --> 00:37:02,821
Oh, I could see
The oval office.
972
00:37:02,888 --> 00:37:05,156
Yeah, this is it.
973
00:37:05,223 --> 00:37:06,858
Show me around
The room.
974
00:37:06,925 --> 00:37:07,959
You're looking
At the room.
975
00:37:08,026 --> 00:37:10,729
Well, where's
The red phone?
976
00:37:10,796 --> 00:37:13,532
We don't use
A red phone anymore.
977
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:15,601
Well, how do you talk
To the kremlin?
978
00:37:15,667 --> 00:37:18,804
I tell mrs. Landingham
I want to talk to the kremlin.
979
00:37:18,870 --> 00:37:19,671
Would you like a drink?
980
00:37:19,738 --> 00:37:22,574
No. No, thanks.
981
00:37:22,641 --> 00:37:24,776
I don't know how
To address you.
982
00:37:24,843 --> 00:37:29,348
Would you prefer "Jed"
Or "Mr. President"?
983
00:37:29,415 --> 00:37:31,182
To be honest,
I prefer "Mr. President."
984
00:37:31,249 --> 00:37:32,183
That's fine.
985
00:37:32,250 --> 00:37:33,319
You understand why,
Right?
986
00:37:33,385 --> 00:37:34,119
Do I need to know why?
987
00:37:34,185 --> 00:37:35,321
It's not ego.
988
00:37:35,387 --> 00:37:36,555
I didn't think it was.
989
00:37:36,622 --> 00:37:37,556
There are certain decisions
I have to make
990
00:37:37,623 --> 00:37:39,124
While I'm in this room:
991
00:37:39,190 --> 00:37:40,759
Do I send troops
Into harm's way?
992
00:37:40,826 --> 00:37:43,829
Which fatal disease
Gets the most research money?
993
00:37:43,895 --> 00:37:44,996
Sure.
994
00:37:45,063 --> 00:37:47,766
It's helpful
In those situations
995
00:37:47,833 --> 00:37:51,870
Not to think of yourself
As the man, but as the office.
996
00:37:51,937 --> 00:37:54,473
Then "Mr. President" it is.
997
00:37:58,344 --> 00:37:59,611
I want you to know
998
00:37:59,678 --> 00:38:01,813
That I had a number of people
On my staff search
999
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,316
For a reason the public
Would find palatable
1000
00:38:04,383 --> 00:38:06,918
To commute the sentence:
1001
00:38:06,985 --> 00:38:12,090
A technicality,
Any evidence of racism.
1002
00:38:12,157 --> 00:38:16,161
So, your staff spent the weekend
Looking for a way out?
1003
00:38:16,227 --> 00:38:17,062
Yeah.
1004
00:38:17,128 --> 00:38:18,730
Like the kid
1005
00:38:18,797 --> 00:38:21,633
In right field who doesn't want
The ball to get hit to him.
1006
00:38:22,801 --> 00:38:24,736
I'm the leader
Of a democracy, tom.
1007
00:38:24,803 --> 00:38:29,541
71% of the people support
Capital punishment.
1008
00:38:29,608 --> 00:38:32,277
The people have spoken,
The courts have spoken.
1009
00:38:32,344 --> 00:38:34,045
Did you call the pope?
1010
00:38:34,112 --> 00:38:35,080
Yeah.
1011
00:38:35,146 --> 00:38:36,081
And how do you do that?
1012
00:38:36,147 --> 00:38:37,683
Oh, for crying
Out loud, tom.
1013
00:38:37,749 --> 00:38:39,485
I open my mouth and say,
"Somebody get me the pope."
1014
00:38:39,551 --> 00:38:40,986
No, I'm sorry,
Mr. President
1015
00:38:41,052 --> 00:38:44,456
But I was thinking
1016
00:38:44,523 --> 00:38:47,593
You're just this kid
From my parish
1017
00:38:47,659 --> 00:38:50,629
And now you're calling the pope.
1018
00:38:51,397 --> 00:38:54,099
Anyway
1019
00:38:54,165 --> 00:38:55,133
I looked for a way out.
1020
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,335
I really did.
1021
00:38:57,403 --> 00:39:00,972
"'vengeance is mine,'
Sayeth the lord."
1022
00:39:01,039 --> 00:39:03,041
You know what
That means?
1023
00:39:03,108 --> 00:39:08,113
God is the only one
Who gets to kill people.
1024
00:39:08,179 --> 00:39:09,648
I know.
1025
00:39:09,715 --> 00:39:12,818
That was your way out.
1026
00:39:12,884 --> 00:39:15,521
I know.
1027
00:39:15,587 --> 00:39:16,888
Did you pray?
1028
00:39:16,955 --> 00:39:18,256
I did, tom.
1029
00:39:18,323 --> 00:39:21,393
I know it's hard to believe,
But I prayed for wisdom.
1030
00:39:21,460 --> 00:39:23,995
And none came?
1031
00:39:24,062 --> 00:39:26,097
It never has.
1032
00:39:26,164 --> 00:39:30,001
And I'm a little pissed off
About that.
1033
00:39:34,105 --> 00:39:37,375
I'm not kidding.
1034
00:39:37,443 --> 00:39:40,045
You know
1035
00:39:40,111 --> 00:39:43,782
You remind me of the man
That lived by the river.
1036
00:39:43,849 --> 00:39:45,817
He heard a radio report
That the river was going
1037
00:39:45,884 --> 00:39:49,087
To rush up and
Flood the town.
1038
00:39:49,154 --> 00:39:52,691
And that all the residents
Should evacuate their homes
1039
00:39:52,758 --> 00:39:55,894
But the man said,
"I'm religious. I pray.
1040
00:39:55,961 --> 00:39:59,264
God loves me.
God will save me."
1041
00:39:59,330 --> 00:40:00,699
The waters rose up
1042
00:40:00,766 --> 00:40:02,834
A guy in a rowboat came
Along and he shouted
1043
00:40:02,901 --> 00:40:08,206
"Hey, you! You in there,
The town is flooding.
1044
00:40:08,273 --> 00:40:09,240
Let me take you to safety!"
1045
00:40:09,307 --> 00:40:11,009
But the man shouted back
1046
00:40:11,076 --> 00:40:16,682
"I'm religious. I pray.
God loves me. God will save me."
1047
00:40:16,748 --> 00:40:19,417
A helicopter was
Hovering overhead
1048
00:40:19,485 --> 00:40:23,188
And a guy with a megaphone
Shouted, "Hey, you!
1049
00:40:23,254 --> 00:40:24,523
"You down there!
1050
00:40:24,590 --> 00:40:26,958
"The town is flooding.
1051
00:40:27,025 --> 00:40:29,628
Let me drop this ladder
And I'll take you to safety!"
1052
00:40:29,695 --> 00:40:31,763
But the man shouted back
That he was religious
1053
00:40:31,830 --> 00:40:33,799
That he prayed,
That god loved him
1054
00:40:33,865 --> 00:40:37,603
And that god will take him
To safety.
1055
00:40:37,669 --> 00:40:41,940
Well... The man drowned.
1056
00:40:44,510 --> 00:40:47,378
And standing at the
Gates of st. Peter
1057
00:40:47,445 --> 00:40:51,517
He demanded an
Audience with god.
1058
00:40:51,583 --> 00:40:55,353
"Lord," he said,
"I'm a religious man.
1059
00:40:55,420 --> 00:41:00,225
"I pray. I thought
You loved me.
1060
00:41:00,291 --> 00:41:02,293
Why did this happen?"
1061
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:07,332
God said, "I sent
You a radio report,
A helicopter
1062
00:41:07,398 --> 00:41:08,934
"And a guy
In a rowboat.
1063
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,070
What the hell
Are you doing here?"
1064
00:41:16,775 --> 00:41:20,045
He sent you a priest
1065
00:41:20,111 --> 00:41:24,950
A rabbi and a quaker,
Mr. President
1066
00:41:25,016 --> 00:41:28,554
Not to mention his son,
Jesus christ.
1067
00:41:28,620 --> 00:41:31,590
What do you want from him?
1068
00:41:31,657 --> 00:41:35,426
( knocking )
1069
00:41:35,493 --> 00:41:37,729
C.J.:
Excuse me.
1070
00:41:44,035 --> 00:41:46,972
( woman from temple singing )
1071
00:42:19,437 --> 00:42:21,707
Jed...
1072
00:42:21,773 --> 00:42:24,776
Would you like me
To hear your confession?
1073
00:42:27,245 --> 00:42:29,247
Yes, please.
1074
00:42:48,834 --> 00:42:53,338
Bless me, father,
For I have sinned...
