Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,693 --> 00:00:07,521
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:07,687 --> 00:00:10,804
NSC just got a call. There's
a China-Russia-Kazakhstan thing.
3
00:00:11,007 --> 00:00:12,725
When are you thinking
about having the wedding?
4
00:00:12,927 --> 00:00:14,406
As soon as possible.
5
00:00:15,207 --> 00:00:16,526
Tarimov has strong Russian ties.
6
00:00:16,727 --> 00:00:18,365
He killed China's oil deal
and China's pissed.
7
00:00:18,567 --> 00:00:21,684
You know, you can fire
as many of us grunts as you want.
8
00:00:21,847 --> 00:00:25,157
But you wanna know why this campaign
is floundering, look in the mirror.
9
00:00:25,367 --> 00:00:28,006
What's likely is that China is massing
troops on the border of Kazakhstan.
10
00:00:28,207 --> 00:00:31,722
Worst case, two nuclear powers are
positioning themselves to engage...
11
00:00:31,887 --> 00:00:33,957
...in an armed conflict over oil.
12
00:00:50,567 --> 00:00:53,877
Dad, you're not really
going to sing along.
13
00:00:54,047 --> 00:00:55,844
- I thought I had a solo.
- Or tell jokes.
14
00:00:56,007 --> 00:00:57,759
- None?
- After the ceremony.
15
00:00:57,927 --> 00:00:59,997
Short ones.
Preferably not during the toast.
16
00:01:00,167 --> 00:01:03,239
- I have to give a toast?
- Dad.
17
00:01:03,687 --> 00:01:05,803
Turn to face the bride.
18
00:01:05,967 --> 00:01:08,037
Now you lift the veil.
19
00:01:09,367 --> 00:01:10,641
Give her a kiss.
20
00:01:13,887 --> 00:01:15,878
Walk over here.
21
00:01:16,607 --> 00:01:17,881
And sit.
22
00:01:18,047 --> 00:01:20,720
Kind of far from the action, isn't it?
23
00:01:22,327 --> 00:01:25,239
- You're not performing the ceremony.
- I wasn't asked to.
24
00:01:25,447 --> 00:01:27,881
- Sir, I'm sorry to interrupt.
- That's quite all right.
25
00:01:28,047 --> 00:01:30,322
He was about to go into
his Spencer Tracy routine.
26
00:01:30,487 --> 00:01:32,318
There's been an escalation
in Kazakhstan.
27
00:01:32,487 --> 00:01:36,765
We picked up three Russian military
convoys heading for the border.
28
00:01:38,287 --> 00:01:40,642
I'm gonna need to step out.
29
00:01:41,967 --> 00:01:44,959
Well, my apologies, everyone.
30
00:01:45,167 --> 00:01:47,283
I'm afraid I'll have
to meet you all at dinner.
31
00:01:47,447 --> 00:01:49,244
Don't slip away, young lady.
32
00:01:49,407 --> 00:01:50,840
We need to practice our dance.
33
00:01:51,007 --> 00:01:52,520
Father.
34
00:01:52,687 --> 00:01:54,678
- I told them you were busy.
- Yeah.
35
00:01:54,847 --> 00:01:57,202
I hear there's a
rehearsal dinner tonight.
36
00:01:57,367 --> 00:02:00,598
Swanky affair. President of
the United States is supposed to show.
37
00:02:00,767 --> 00:02:03,327
- He's got 15 minutes.
- So now the Russians are invading?
38
00:02:03,487 --> 00:02:05,921
Just got off the phone with State.
The Russians say...
39
00:02:06,087 --> 00:02:07,998
...the Kazakh president
requested advisers.
40
00:02:08,167 --> 00:02:10,761
- Advisers with AK-47s and riot gear?
- Pretty much.
41
00:02:10,927 --> 00:02:13,805
President Tarimov's nervous, with
the Chinese at the border...
42
00:02:13,967 --> 00:02:15,958
...and his people ready
to storm the palace.
43
00:02:16,167 --> 00:02:18,806
Not nervous enough
to reschedule elections.
44
00:02:18,967 --> 00:02:20,605
The Chinese seeing
what we're seeing?
45
00:02:20,767 --> 00:02:23,884
Chinese won't enter unprovoked
but if the convoys cross the border...
46
00:02:24,087 --> 00:02:25,679
Debbie.
47
00:02:27,487 --> 00:02:29,717
Thirty-eight seconds.
Nice work, commander.
48
00:02:29,927 --> 00:02:33,556
I'm gonna need the Russian ambassador,
the Chinese ambassador and my wife.
49
00:02:33,727 --> 00:02:35,445
Probably not in that order.
50
00:03:22,367 --> 00:03:24,437
Yes, Mr. Ambassador,
but if we could focus on...
51
00:03:25,727 --> 00:03:27,001
Yes, Yuri.
52
00:03:28,007 --> 00:03:30,567
Yes, it should be a lovely affair but...
53
00:03:30,727 --> 00:03:34,766
But listen, if those convoys
enter Kazakhstan...
54
00:03:36,447 --> 00:03:39,757
No, I'm not sure who's doing
the flower arrangements.
55
00:03:41,407 --> 00:03:43,125
Mr. President, I hate to interrupt.
56
00:03:43,287 --> 00:03:45,243
Secretary Hutchinson is
on the other line.
57
00:03:45,447 --> 00:03:46,721
Thank you, C.J.
58
00:03:46,887 --> 00:03:51,244
Yuri, you'll communicate
my concerns to President Chigorin?
59
00:03:51,447 --> 00:03:55,725
Yes, we'll speak later. Thank you.
Flower arrangements?
60
00:03:55,887 --> 00:03:58,117
- He's stalling.
- Where are the convoys?
61
00:03:58,327 --> 00:04:01,239
- Thirty miles from the border.
- Pakistan issued a statement:
62
00:04:01,407 --> 00:04:03,875
Chinese interference
in Central Asia is not tolerated.
63
00:04:04,087 --> 00:04:06,237
You want the Chinese ambassador?
64
00:04:08,087 --> 00:04:10,157
Get him on the phone.
65
00:04:18,447 --> 00:04:20,881
Hey. Just wanna
give you guys a heads-up.
66
00:04:21,047 --> 00:04:23,720
Governor Baker has decided to join us
at tomorrow's rally.
67
00:04:23,927 --> 00:04:26,043
- We added a half-hour.
- What about the wedding?
68
00:04:26,207 --> 00:04:28,926
The congressman should have
time to get to the White House.
69
00:04:29,127 --> 00:04:30,719
- Have you seen the Zogby poll?
- Yes.
70
00:04:30,887 --> 00:04:33,685
Six weeks to go, you're still
seven points down, concerned?
71
00:04:33,847 --> 00:04:36,486
Today in Jersey, we got
a four-point bump from the debate.
72
00:04:36,647 --> 00:04:39,241
The Economist said a Santos presidency
may be the best...
73
00:04:39,407 --> 00:04:41,796
...for race relations
since the Civil Rights Act.
74
00:04:41,967 --> 00:04:43,286
I'd say we're gaining ground.
75
00:04:43,447 --> 00:04:46,245
You haven't been within
five points of Vinick in a month.
76
00:04:46,407 --> 00:04:49,638
- We're more focused on the state polls.
- A senior Democrat is saying...
77
00:04:49,807 --> 00:04:52,002
...it's time to shake things up.
78
00:04:52,327 --> 00:04:54,443
He should look at a map,
do the electoral math.
79
00:04:54,607 --> 00:04:57,724
- This race is tighter than you think.
- We wanna go dark in Arizona?
80
00:04:57,927 --> 00:05:00,441
- We picked up two points there.
- Trailing by seven.
81
00:05:00,887 --> 00:05:03,845
- Can we pull the money from anywhere?
- Vinick's challenging us.
82
00:05:04,007 --> 00:05:07,795
He has California, we have to sweep
Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida.
83
00:05:07,967 --> 00:05:09,923
Put every available dollar
in those states.
84
00:05:10,127 --> 00:05:13,483
We've cut all we can out of the places
where we're actually competitive.
85
00:05:14,807 --> 00:05:16,365
Okay.
86
00:05:17,047 --> 00:05:21,802
Move the ad money from Arizona
into Houston and Miami.
87
00:05:23,727 --> 00:05:25,126
We done with the bloodletting?
88
00:05:25,327 --> 00:05:29,036
We go dark in Washington, Maine,
Colorado, Nevada, Arizona.
89
00:05:29,207 --> 00:05:30,560
These 12 are still in play.
90
00:05:32,167 --> 00:05:34,442
I'll try to catch my kids
before they go sleep.
91
00:05:35,527 --> 00:05:37,006
- Good night, sir.
- Good night.
92
00:05:39,727 --> 00:05:41,001
Leo?
93
00:05:41,167 --> 00:05:43,522
You have to narrow down
the board eight years ago?
94
00:05:43,687 --> 00:05:46,360
Sure. Six weeks out,
only so much in the war chest.
95
00:05:46,527 --> 00:05:48,199
Gotta manage your resources.
96
00:05:48,367 --> 00:05:51,040
Feels like we're closing
a lot of doors here.
97
00:05:51,247 --> 00:05:53,477
Good strategy always does.
98
00:05:54,247 --> 00:05:56,363
Yes, of course, Mr. Ambassador, but...
99
00:05:57,167 --> 00:05:59,476
We've been over this.
It's three convoys.
100
00:05:59,647 --> 00:06:00,921
They're not invading.
101
00:06:02,487 --> 00:06:04,876
Yes, but as I've said, if...
102
00:06:05,047 --> 00:06:07,641
If the Chinese army
enters the country...
103
00:06:08,967 --> 00:06:11,242
Yes, I'll convey your thoughts.
104
00:06:11,407 --> 00:06:13,682
Yes, you too, Yahlin.
Thank you.
105
00:06:15,167 --> 00:06:17,317
How long before the convoys
reach Kazakhstan?
106
00:06:17,527 --> 00:06:20,041
Actually, they've stopped,
a few miles from the border.
107
00:06:20,207 --> 00:06:22,880
- Are they refueling or pitching tents?
- Hard to know.
108
00:06:23,407 --> 00:06:24,681
I'm gonna go with tents.
109
00:06:25,927 --> 00:06:28,202
- I want a full briefing in the morning.
- Yes, sir.
110
00:06:28,367 --> 00:06:30,403
- Lf those convoys start moving again...
- Yeah.
111
00:06:30,567 --> 00:06:31,841
- Good night.
- Good night.
112
00:06:33,967 --> 00:06:37,039
- Want me to follow up with Berryhill?
- No, I got it.
113
00:06:40,487 --> 00:06:42,921
- All right, if l...?
- Yeah. No, wait a minute.
114
00:06:43,087 --> 00:06:44,805
The Chinese ambassador's coming.
115
00:06:45,007 --> 00:06:46,645
- Okay.
- Who is he sitting with?
116
00:06:46,847 --> 00:06:50,203
Hopefully not the Russians.
State eyeballed the seating chart, right?
117
00:06:50,407 --> 00:06:53,285
- One of Berryhill's deputies. Weeks ago.
- I should take a look.
118
00:06:53,447 --> 00:06:54,721
Yeah.
119
00:06:54,887 --> 00:06:58,118
Philadelphia fundraising totals and the
changes to tomorrow's schedule.
120
00:06:58,287 --> 00:07:00,323
- Thanks.
- Sign off on those before you leave.
121
00:07:00,487 --> 00:07:01,602
- Yeah.
- Five states dark.
122
00:07:01,767 --> 00:07:05,476
Lots of guys will have trouble getting
Democrats to the polls if we jump ship.
123
00:07:05,647 --> 00:07:06,921
We're not gonna be popular.
124
00:07:07,087 --> 00:07:09,442
- New numbers before we go public?
- Sure.
125
00:07:09,607 --> 00:07:12,565
We'll want local press from
South Jersey and the Philly suburbs?
126
00:07:12,767 --> 00:07:15,156
- Thanks, Edie.
- Got the photo op with the governor?
127
00:07:15,327 --> 00:07:17,716
- Santos, Baker and a cheese steak.
- Make it a hoagie.
128
00:07:17,887 --> 00:07:21,163
- Advance said get a cheese steak.
- Trust me, make it a hoagie.
129
00:07:21,887 --> 00:07:25,004
- Press is a little antsy.
- Tell them national polls are meaningless.
130
00:07:25,167 --> 00:07:28,284
Staff's antsy too. You've been
behind doors since we got to Philly.
131
00:07:28,447 --> 00:07:30,881
- Killer game of Boggle.
- Since we got to Philly.
132
00:07:31,047 --> 00:07:33,561
There's a rumor we're pulling
out of Arizona.
133
00:07:33,727 --> 00:07:37,197
- I need you to kill that rumor.
- Because we're moving money to Illinois?
134
00:07:37,407 --> 00:07:41,002
Josh? Joshua.
We just picked up five points in Illinois.
135
00:07:41,207 --> 00:07:43,357
- What?
- Illinois tracking poll.
136
00:07:43,527 --> 00:07:47,042
- We're down by nine points.
- Not anymore.
137
00:07:47,247 --> 00:07:48,566
- Let me see.
- What's going on?
138
00:07:48,727 --> 00:07:50,206
- Down four in Illinois.
- Really?
139
00:07:50,407 --> 00:07:52,443
- We barely spent any money.
- Call you back.
140
00:07:52,647 --> 00:07:54,922
Could be a mistake.
Rerun this in the morning.
141
00:07:55,127 --> 00:07:57,641
- Must be the Trib.
- The endorsement put us within four?
142
00:07:58,047 --> 00:07:59,958
Four points. The state's in play.
143
00:08:00,167 --> 00:08:03,876
We need a big media buy. Huge. Maybe
a swing through Chicago this week.
144
00:08:04,087 --> 00:08:07,124
- Twenty-one electoral votes.
- Close a door, open a roof.
145
00:08:07,327 --> 00:08:10,160
I'm thinking a 1500 rating points buy?
Maybe 2000?
146
00:08:12,847 --> 00:08:14,439
Where are we gonna get the money?
147
00:08:15,647 --> 00:08:18,161
- Nice of you to drop by.
- I missed dinner.
148
00:08:18,367 --> 00:08:20,358
Only by an hour and a half.
149
00:08:21,807 --> 00:08:24,879
Don't worry.
Ellie had a wonderful time.
150
00:08:25,047 --> 00:08:29,438
I, on the other hand, was stuck
in the corner with Vic's uncle.
151
00:08:29,607 --> 00:08:31,040
The botanist.
152
00:08:31,207 --> 00:08:32,720
You would have liked him.
153
00:08:32,887 --> 00:08:36,118
- I'm getting too old for this job.
- Really?
154
00:08:36,647 --> 00:08:39,957
It was their relatives,
who we don't particularly know...
155
00:08:40,127 --> 00:08:42,846
...and our relatives,
who we don't particularly like.
156
00:08:43,247 --> 00:08:45,363
Oh, they understood.
157
00:08:45,527 --> 00:08:49,156
The Faisons were so busy
playing host, they barely noticed.
158
00:08:49,367 --> 00:08:53,201
Although we did decide on Uncle Norman
as a possible stand-in for you tomorrow.
159
00:08:53,367 --> 00:08:55,483
- A stand-in?
- Worst-case scenario.
160
00:08:56,047 --> 00:08:57,605
Uncle Norman?
161
00:08:57,767 --> 00:09:02,716
He is a bit of a tippler but he's reliably
punctual when there's an open bar.
162
00:09:02,887 --> 00:09:06,323
You'll have time to practice the dance
with Ellie before the wedding.
163
00:09:06,487 --> 00:09:07,761
I'll find her tomorrow.
164
00:09:07,927 --> 00:09:11,363
Sure. Well, we do have
the foreign-dignitary's gift reception...
165
00:09:11,527 --> 00:09:13,643
...starting with
the Bermudian ambassador at 9.
166
00:09:13,807 --> 00:09:17,595
- Okay.
- And hair at 10, makeup at 11:30.
167
00:09:17,767 --> 00:09:19,166
We pull money out of New York.
168
00:09:19,327 --> 00:09:20,965
We need full force in New York...
169
00:09:21,127 --> 00:09:23,243
...to shore up Northern Jersey.
- And Missouri?
170
00:09:23,407 --> 00:09:25,637
Seeing movement in the
independents in St. Louis.
171
00:09:25,807 --> 00:09:27,718
- Iowa?
- Yeah, but Chicago's pretty pricey.
172
00:09:27,887 --> 00:09:30,117
Des Moines and Cedar Rapids
won't make much dent.
173
00:09:30,287 --> 00:09:33,199
- I was looking forward to a bath.
- No, conference, five minutes.
174
00:09:33,367 --> 00:09:36,439
- Schedule, point buys, couple of calls.
- Yeah? Anything urgent?
175
00:09:36,607 --> 00:09:39,724
Ten state party chairs are worried
you'll pull local advertising.
176
00:09:39,887 --> 00:09:42,321
- Anything else?
- Folks in Illinois seem to be excited.
177
00:09:42,487 --> 00:09:43,966
Yeah? Who called?
178
00:09:44,127 --> 00:09:46,880
Sloan, Gabus, Arrow, Leiter,
both senators and the governor.
179
00:09:47,087 --> 00:09:49,760
What about the guy running the
DNC field op in Chicago?
180
00:09:49,967 --> 00:09:51,685
- Three times.
- Get him on the phone.
181
00:09:51,847 --> 00:09:53,599
See if we can fit
him in for breakfast.
182
00:09:53,807 --> 00:09:56,401
You have a breakfast
every half-hour between 8 and 1.
183
00:09:56,607 --> 00:09:58,882
The later ones must be lunches.
Yeah?
184
00:09:59,047 --> 00:10:00,526
- Tomorrow's photo op?
- Yeah.
185
00:10:00,727 --> 00:10:03,525
- Baker will be having a cheese steak.
- Okay.
186
00:10:03,687 --> 00:10:06,076
Howard is worried about
the comparative visual.
187
00:10:06,287 --> 00:10:08,118
They think that a hoagie
will look weak?
188
00:10:08,327 --> 00:10:11,717
- His exact words were "pansy-ass."
- Howard's from Philly, right?
189
00:10:11,927 --> 00:10:13,645
- Go with the cheese steak.
- Yeah.
190
00:10:13,807 --> 00:10:16,685
But prep him on how to order it.
No Swiss, no Muenster.
191
00:10:16,847 --> 00:10:19,077
- He gets it with sauce and Whiz.
- Whiz?
192
00:10:19,247 --> 00:10:22,080
Cheez Whiz. Ask Howard.
And no onions.
193
00:10:22,247 --> 00:10:25,683
He's got a photo op with the president.
I don't want him knocking him over.
194
00:10:25,847 --> 00:10:28,884
- Got it. Thanks, guys.
- You're welcome.
195
00:10:30,887 --> 00:10:33,606
- I'm getting calls about Illinois.
- Tell them we're excited.
196
00:10:33,807 --> 00:10:36,401
Press is wondering who decided
not to contest the state.
197
00:10:36,567 --> 00:10:37,841
Tell them I did.
198
00:10:38,007 --> 00:10:41,283
Tell them I also decided not to contest
Georgia where we're down by 11.
199
00:10:41,447 --> 00:10:43,881
And not to contest Mississippi
where we're down by 15.
200
00:10:44,087 --> 00:10:45,839
- You ready?
- Yeah. I gotta go.
201
00:10:48,087 --> 00:10:51,796
I think I can pencil you in, between
the pictures and the ceremony.
202
00:10:51,967 --> 00:10:53,366
Yeah.
203
00:10:54,047 --> 00:10:57,278
Besides, rumor has it that you're
gonna have a little chat...
204
00:10:57,447 --> 00:10:59,438
...with the groom tomorrow morning.
- I am.
205
00:10:59,847 --> 00:11:02,042
Well, that will be lovely, I'm sure.
206
00:11:02,207 --> 00:11:03,481
What? I did it with Doug.
207
00:11:03,647 --> 00:11:06,798
Yeah. I don't recall that
as being an unqualified success.
208
00:11:07,727 --> 00:11:09,718
Well, now I've had a run at it.
209
00:11:09,927 --> 00:11:13,556
You do know that talking him out of
marrying your daughter is not an option.
210
00:11:13,767 --> 00:11:15,120
Yeah.
211
00:11:21,167 --> 00:11:22,839
You really think it's not an option?
212
00:11:32,607 --> 00:11:35,519
New Hampshire, Iowa, Wisconsin.
213
00:11:39,127 --> 00:11:41,516
We pull out of the original five.
214
00:11:41,727 --> 00:11:43,797
We go dark in New Hampshire.
215
00:11:44,607 --> 00:11:49,237
We have the ad buy
in Wisconsin and Iowa.
216
00:11:49,447 --> 00:11:50,800
You sure?
217
00:11:59,647 --> 00:12:01,524
- Yeah.
- Hallelujah.
218
00:12:01,687 --> 00:12:02,961
Want me to call the media?
219
00:12:03,127 --> 00:12:05,960
No, I'm meeting with some
congressmen from Wisconsin tomorrow.
220
00:12:06,127 --> 00:12:09,517
- Let me break the news to them first.
- Okay. I'm gonna head out.
221
00:12:11,207 --> 00:12:12,481
Wait.
222
00:12:18,447 --> 00:12:20,403
No, this is right.
We got it.
223
00:12:35,207 --> 00:12:37,562
Well, they picked up
five points in Illinois.
224
00:12:37,727 --> 00:12:40,844
Sure, it's terrific news but the question
we need to be asking is...
225
00:12:41,007 --> 00:12:43,077
... why wasn't Santos there
in the first place?
226
00:12:43,247 --> 00:12:46,478
If you ask me, it's a big tactical
error on the part of Josh Lyman.
227
00:12:46,687 --> 00:12:48,120
Need a ride?
228
00:12:48,607 --> 00:12:52,236
- No, I gotta finish up a few things.
- Suit yourself.
229
00:12:52,407 --> 00:12:54,841
- Should have been watching
the sampling in Evanston.
230
00:12:55,007 --> 00:12:57,521
Of course this campaign
is still salvageable...
231
00:12:57,727 --> 00:13:01,561
... but he certainly can 't afford
to make another Illinois-sized mistake.
232
00:13:01,727 --> 00:13:04,366
Which is why I think some people
have begun to question...
233
00:13:04,527 --> 00:13:06,438
... whether Josh Lyman
is the right guy...
234
00:13:06,607 --> 00:13:09,804
... to take the Santos campaign
down the stretch.
235
00:13:12,927 --> 00:13:15,441
They'll be walking down the aisle
to Sorge Nel Petto...
236
00:13:15,607 --> 00:13:18,997
... the aria Goffredo sings
to his daughter in Handel's Rinaldo.
237
00:13:19,167 --> 00:13:24,764
The aria was picked for its beauty and
its text, which translates roughly to:
238
00:13:24,927 --> 00:13:29,762
"A certain delight surges from my
breast and promises to calm my heart. "
239
00:13:30,167 --> 00:13:31,759
- That's lovely.
- I made it up.
240
00:13:31,927 --> 00:13:34,077
- Don't tell.
- There's nothing better on?
241
00:13:34,287 --> 00:13:37,484
I like to start the weekend with
postgame analysis. Just stay sharp.
242
00:13:37,687 --> 00:13:40,520
Ellie decided to go with
the peau de soie Monique Lhuillier...
243
00:13:40,687 --> 00:13:42,564
... instead of the lace Vera Wang.
244
00:13:44,007 --> 00:13:47,158
- Is there something you need?
- I need to look at the seating chart.
245
00:13:47,367 --> 00:13:49,722
- Sure.
- Peau de soie?
246
00:13:49,887 --> 00:13:52,924
Apparently it's soft, yet supple.
Oh, and it drapes beautifully.
247
00:13:53,127 --> 00:13:54,526
Yeah.
248
00:13:59,607 --> 00:14:02,679
Who put the British royals at the table
with the German ambassador?
249
00:14:02,847 --> 00:14:04,644
Still smarting over
the World Cup match?
250
00:14:04,807 --> 00:14:07,116
- That and the devaluation of the pound.
- Right.
251
00:14:07,647 --> 00:14:09,797
How about we swap
in the Swedish ambassador?
252
00:14:09,967 --> 00:14:12,003
Queen and the Swedish ambassador
had a thing.
253
00:14:12,167 --> 00:14:13,600
- Thing?
- A while back but still.
254
00:14:13,767 --> 00:14:16,918
- Sure.
- Do you mind if I take this for a while?
255
00:14:21,687 --> 00:14:24,724
That would be great
if they could have it at 5.
256
00:14:25,887 --> 00:14:27,240
Hey.
257
00:14:27,407 --> 00:14:29,477
New Hampshire, Iowa, Wisconsin.
258
00:14:29,687 --> 00:14:31,086
Good morning to you too.
259
00:14:31,247 --> 00:14:34,557
- You here to sit with Jarin?
- And then Trotman and Alexander. You?
260
00:14:34,767 --> 00:14:38,885
Chicago field rep, Cooper, Steel,
Goldin, Walvick.
261
00:14:39,047 --> 00:14:41,402
I'm thinking New Hampshire,
Iowa, Wisconsin.
262
00:14:41,607 --> 00:14:42,676
Did you get some sleep?
263
00:14:42,847 --> 00:14:45,441
Cut New Hampshire,
pull money out of Iowa and Wisconsin.
264
00:14:45,607 --> 00:14:48,326
- You gotta pace yourself.
- New Hampshire's a no-brainer.
265
00:14:48,487 --> 00:14:50,682
I'm serious, you should get
at least five hours.
266
00:14:50,847 --> 00:14:54,840
Four electoral votes. Paying a premium
because the ad buy's out of Boston.
267
00:14:55,047 --> 00:14:58,119
Soon you're gonna be at two hours
a night. It gets worse if we win.
268
00:14:58,327 --> 00:15:00,238
- Leo.
- New Hampshire?
269
00:15:00,447 --> 00:15:01,880
Yeah.
270
00:15:02,047 --> 00:15:04,277
- It's not worth the ad buy.
- Iowa and Wisconsin.
271
00:15:04,447 --> 00:15:06,756
Iowa, sure.
How much we up in Wisconsin?
272
00:15:06,967 --> 00:15:09,356
Three points. Illinois ad buy
will carry into Wisconsin.
273
00:15:09,567 --> 00:15:11,603
- Cutbacks in Missouri?
- We're only down two.
274
00:15:11,767 --> 00:15:13,359
- I don't wanna cede the state.
- Leo.
275
00:15:13,527 --> 00:15:15,006
Sounds right.
276
00:15:15,167 --> 00:15:18,603
- Gotta go make nice with the fat cats.
- Yeah. Pick some pockets, will you?
277
00:15:18,807 --> 00:15:20,559
- Get some sleep.
- Yeah.
278
00:15:20,727 --> 00:15:22,399
Josh. Stan Mitchell.
279
00:15:22,567 --> 00:15:25,286
- DNC field op, Chicago.
- Stan, thanks for flying out.
280
00:15:25,487 --> 00:15:28,320
I've said we got a shot in Illinois.
Wish you'd called sooner.
281
00:15:28,527 --> 00:15:31,325
Tell me we can get the full field op
ready by November 8th.
282
00:15:31,527 --> 00:15:33,836
You're asking for a six-month job
in six weeks.
283
00:15:34,007 --> 00:15:36,396
Sure, we can get it up
but it's gonna cost you.
284
00:15:39,127 --> 00:15:43,803
In Bermuda, it is traditional to place a
cedar sapling atop the wedding cake...
285
00:15:43,967 --> 00:15:47,721
...and then plant it at the home
of the bride and groom.
286
00:15:48,167 --> 00:15:50,556
I bring this sapling
from Warwick Pond...
287
00:15:50,727 --> 00:15:53,764
...one of the few surviving
cedar forests on the island.
288
00:15:53,927 --> 00:15:56,043
May it grow with your love.
289
00:15:56,247 --> 00:15:59,762
- Thank you very much.
- You are most welcome.
290
00:16:02,807 --> 00:16:04,559
Mr. Ambassador.
291
00:16:04,727 --> 00:16:06,877
- It's beautiful.
- Yes.
292
00:16:07,047 --> 00:16:09,163
We'll keep it off the cake.
293
00:16:09,327 --> 00:16:10,760
Yes.
294
00:16:10,927 --> 00:16:13,805
The French ambassador,
the honorable Julian Lefort.
295
00:16:16,247 --> 00:16:19,045
- It is a very great pleasure...
- How many of these do we have?
296
00:16:19,207 --> 00:16:22,085
There were a few additions: The
Greek ambassador, the Latvians.
297
00:16:22,247 --> 00:16:24,636
The Romanian foreign minister
happens to be in town.
298
00:16:24,807 --> 00:16:27,275
All told, that brings us to 71.
299
00:16:27,447 --> 00:16:29,517
The hairdresser comes at 10.
300
00:16:29,687 --> 00:16:31,120
Maybe we ought to skip Romania.
301
00:16:31,287 --> 00:16:33,926
Or all of Eastern Europe.
302
00:16:34,127 --> 00:16:36,925
The three convoys, still holding
at the Kazakhstan border?
303
00:16:37,127 --> 00:16:39,197
- Yes, sir.
- Their restraint is admirable.
304
00:16:39,407 --> 00:16:42,956
Maybe not. Our satellites took photos
of the Russian military base...
305
00:16:43,127 --> 00:16:46,119
...in Omsk two hours ago.
- Looks like a couple of battalions.
306
00:16:46,287 --> 00:16:48,596
- Close to a 100,000 men.
- They're posturing.
307
00:16:48,807 --> 00:16:50,604
Sure, but 100,000 Russians
to the west.
308
00:16:50,807 --> 00:16:52,763
One-sixth of the Chinese army
to the east.
309
00:16:52,967 --> 00:16:55,845
We should consider evacuating
the marine base outside Ayaguz.
310
00:16:56,047 --> 00:16:58,197
It's critical to our interests
in Central Asia.
311
00:16:58,407 --> 00:17:02,116
Both sides will have one less reason
to restrain themselves once we pull out.
312
00:17:02,287 --> 00:17:05,677
You're talking about leaving 9000
Marines in a wrestling match...
313
00:17:05,847 --> 00:17:07,997
...between two
800,000-pound gorillas.
314
00:17:08,207 --> 00:17:10,767
- How do we get our men out?
- Airlift to the Arabian Sea.
315
00:17:18,727 --> 00:17:20,957
- Can I get you anything?
- No, thank you.
316
00:17:21,167 --> 00:17:22,520
- Water?
- No.
317
00:17:22,727 --> 00:17:24,001
- Coffee?
- No.
318
00:17:24,207 --> 00:17:25,845
Valium?
319
00:17:26,367 --> 00:17:28,403
How long would it take
after I give the word?
320
00:17:28,567 --> 00:17:30,683
Seventy-two hours,
assuming our ships are in position.
321
00:17:31,167 --> 00:17:32,725
Yeah?
322
00:17:32,887 --> 00:17:35,037
Your 9:00 is starting to melt.
323
00:17:35,247 --> 00:17:36,566
Yeah, send him in.
324
00:17:36,767 --> 00:17:40,646
Move a dozen evac transports into the
Arabian Sea and put them on ready alert.
325
00:17:40,807 --> 00:17:42,525
- Yes, sir.
- C. J...
326
00:17:42,687 --> 00:17:45,360
...let's get the Kazakhstan ambassador
in here tomorrow.
327
00:17:45,567 --> 00:17:47,876
See if we can convince him
to reschedule elections.
328
00:17:48,047 --> 00:17:50,641
Before their country
becomes a rugby field.
329
00:17:52,127 --> 00:17:53,765
Gentlemen, my future son-in-law.
330
00:17:54,247 --> 00:17:55,521
Congratulations.
331
00:17:55,687 --> 00:17:58,997
- Thank you, thank you, sir.
- Congratulations, son.
332
00:17:59,167 --> 00:18:00,646
- Best of luck.
- Congratulations.
333
00:18:00,847 --> 00:18:02,439
- Hi, thank you.
- Take care of her.
334
00:18:02,647 --> 00:18:05,036
- Congratulations.
- Congratulations, young man.
335
00:18:05,207 --> 00:18:06,720
- Thank you.
- Congratulations, son.
336
00:18:06,887 --> 00:18:08,320
Tell me you didn't plan that.
337
00:18:08,487 --> 00:18:09,806
You go dark in Wisconsin...
338
00:18:10,007 --> 00:18:11,884
We're talking
about trimming the ad buy.
339
00:18:12,087 --> 00:18:13,600
We need more money in the state.
340
00:18:13,767 --> 00:18:17,043
We have a 500-point buy in Green Bay,
a 500-point buy in Milwaukee...
341
00:18:17,247 --> 00:18:20,398
Vinick's got 1500 points
out of Green Bay, Milwaukee, Madison.
342
00:18:20,607 --> 00:18:21,835
He's outspending you 2-1.
343
00:18:22,047 --> 00:18:24,083
I'll have the congressman
make some stops...
344
00:18:24,247 --> 00:18:26,807
Come on, you know
it's all about the media buy.
345
00:18:27,007 --> 00:18:30,682
I know Vinick's pressuring you and I'm
thrilled you've made headway in Illinois.
346
00:18:30,887 --> 00:18:33,879
But we've got six contested
congressional districts in Wisconsin.
347
00:18:34,047 --> 00:18:35,275
A very tough Senate race.
348
00:18:35,487 --> 00:18:38,399
Without national ad support,
we could lose all those campaigns.
349
00:18:38,607 --> 00:18:40,723
- You need to take that?
- I do.
350
00:18:42,847 --> 00:18:45,759
You're up four in Jersey and three
in Michigan. Trim back there.
351
00:18:45,967 --> 00:18:48,765
Thanks for stopping by, congressman.
I appreciate your input.
352
00:18:48,927 --> 00:18:51,839
- Hey, how was Philly?
- Pretty good, pretty good.
353
00:18:52,007 --> 00:18:53,963
- Did you get the photo op?
- No, we got it.
354
00:18:54,127 --> 00:18:55,765
Little problem
with the cheese steak.
355
00:18:55,967 --> 00:18:58,162
- Screw up the order?
- Sauce and Whiz, no onions.
356
00:18:58,367 --> 00:19:01,086
- That sounds fine.
- The Whiz got a little drippy.
357
00:19:01,247 --> 00:19:04,557
- How drippy?
- He should've ordered the hoagie.
358
00:19:05,647 --> 00:19:06,921
Who was at the photo op?
359
00:19:07,087 --> 00:19:10,477
AP, Reuters, The Times, Le Monde.
360
00:19:10,647 --> 00:19:13,081
It's probably front page of
The Philadelphia Inquirer.
361
00:19:13,247 --> 00:19:15,044
Any way you'd like me to spin it?
362
00:19:15,207 --> 00:19:19,086
- "Acts like a man, eats like a man?"
- Yeah, I gotta go.
363
00:19:21,607 --> 00:19:23,086
- Josh.
- Senator Montgomery.
364
00:19:23,247 --> 00:19:25,238
- Great news about Illinois.
- Absolutely.
365
00:19:25,447 --> 00:19:27,324
- Nice to have it in play.
- Sure.
366
00:19:27,487 --> 00:19:29,125
Shame we didn't start there earlier.
367
00:19:29,327 --> 00:19:31,283
We had some other places
we needed to be.
368
00:19:31,687 --> 00:19:34,724
Twenty-one electoral votes. I thought
it'd be higher on the list.
369
00:19:34,927 --> 00:19:36,599
We're only up by six in New York.
370
00:19:36,767 --> 00:19:39,076
Any state we're losing by 10
doesn't get a lot of attention.
371
00:19:39,247 --> 00:19:42,319
- So long as we start investing now.
- There's no question.
372
00:19:42,487 --> 00:19:44,876
Listen, I heard you're pulling
money out of Iowa.
373
00:19:45,087 --> 00:19:47,078
We're thinking about a lot of places.
374
00:19:47,287 --> 00:19:49,357
As goes Iowa so goes the Midwest.
375
00:19:49,887 --> 00:19:51,320
I'd cut back in Philadelphia.
376
00:19:52,407 --> 00:19:55,080
- See you at the wedding, Josh.
- Yes, sir.
377
00:20:02,447 --> 00:20:03,880
You done?
378
00:20:04,047 --> 00:20:07,881
- Just about. Wanna take a look?
- Sure.
379
00:20:09,447 --> 00:20:11,597
Canadian prime minister
won't mind the corner?
380
00:20:11,807 --> 00:20:13,877
- It's for the best. He's grabby.
- Really?
381
00:20:14,047 --> 00:20:16,277
Brings a whole new meaning
to "O, Canada."
382
00:20:17,407 --> 00:20:18,681
K.H. Plus one?
383
00:20:18,887 --> 00:20:20,923
That's me. President wanted
someone from NSC.
384
00:20:21,087 --> 00:20:23,601
- Smooth over any international incidents?
- Prevent.
385
00:20:23,767 --> 00:20:25,200
- Sure.
- You're not going?
386
00:20:25,367 --> 00:20:28,040
Wasn't invited. I was concerned
it might have to do...
387
00:20:28,447 --> 00:20:30,199
...with my encounter
with the couple...
388
00:20:30,367 --> 00:20:33,120
...but I hear it's a small affair.
389
00:20:35,527 --> 00:20:37,119
- Is something...?
- Do you own a tux?
390
00:20:37,327 --> 00:20:39,238
- Excuse me?
- I was just gonna go stag...
391
00:20:39,407 --> 00:20:41,602
...but if you're not busy later...
392
00:20:41,807 --> 00:20:45,482
...and don't have anything to do...
393
00:20:56,967 --> 00:20:58,764
- You clean up nice.
- Don't start.
394
00:20:58,927 --> 00:21:01,521
- I already got it from Helen.
- Philadelphia cheese steak.
395
00:21:01,687 --> 00:21:03,359
It's a political rite of passage.
396
00:21:03,567 --> 00:21:04,841
Wait until you see pictures.
397
00:21:05,007 --> 00:21:08,204
It'll only endear you to the Eagles fans
in Philly and South Jersey.
398
00:21:09,967 --> 00:21:12,401
- I had a little chat with Baker.
- How is the governor?
399
00:21:12,607 --> 00:21:15,997
He's concerned about the campaign,
wondering why we weren't in Illinois...
400
00:21:16,167 --> 00:21:19,477
...why we won't spend in Pennsylvania.
- Monday morning quarterbacking.
401
00:21:19,647 --> 00:21:21,319
It's a favorite in Philadelphia.
402
00:21:21,807 --> 00:21:25,117
Yeah, he's not the only one
that's concerned. I've gotten calls.
403
00:21:25,327 --> 00:21:26,601
Josh?
404
00:21:28,247 --> 00:21:30,283
We're six weeks out
and still down seven.
405
00:21:30,447 --> 00:21:32,358
Vultures are gonna swarm.
406
00:21:35,407 --> 00:21:38,126
I just wanna make sure
they're not swarming for a reason.
407
00:21:39,567 --> 00:21:41,922
No one else I'd rather have
running this campaign.
408
00:21:42,727 --> 00:21:44,479
Congressman,
you wanted to screen...
409
00:21:44,687 --> 00:21:47,326
...the new Texas ad buy?
- I'll see you down there in 10?
410
00:21:47,807 --> 00:21:49,081
Yeah.
411
00:22:06,927 --> 00:22:09,157
- Josh?
- Should we cut media buy in Missouri?
412
00:22:09,367 --> 00:22:11,039
- The wedding?
- Maybe New York.
413
00:22:11,247 --> 00:22:13,158
We should take a hard look
at Michigan.
414
00:22:13,327 --> 00:22:15,363
I just called to pull money
out of Wisconsin.
415
00:22:15,567 --> 00:22:17,046
We're gonna hold off on that.
416
00:22:17,327 --> 00:22:19,557
- Your car's ready.
- I'll call after the wedding.
417
00:22:21,487 --> 00:22:23,955
I know you think
this is probably old-fashioned...
418
00:22:24,127 --> 00:22:29,076
...but frankly, it's much more humane
than it used to be.
419
00:22:29,287 --> 00:22:31,801
Abbey's father made me take
a six-hour hike with him...
420
00:22:31,967 --> 00:22:36,518
...through the woods outside Montpelier
in the dead of winter.
421
00:22:36,687 --> 00:22:39,759
At least, it felt like six hours.
422
00:22:40,807 --> 00:22:42,798
Of course I was
still a grad student then...
423
00:22:42,967 --> 00:22:47,324
...whereas you're almost
a tenured professor. Isn't that right?
424
00:22:47,687 --> 00:22:49,040
Yes.
425
00:22:49,727 --> 00:22:52,036
At least, the dean suggested...
426
00:22:52,207 --> 00:22:55,358
- I mean, in the next few years...
- Good, good.
427
00:22:55,527 --> 00:22:58,564
Because before you know it,
you'll have a house and kids.
428
00:23:00,167 --> 00:23:03,398
- Yeah?
- Sir, the guests are starting to arrive.
429
00:23:03,607 --> 00:23:06,167
- Yeah.
- You should be heading back to change.
430
00:23:06,967 --> 00:23:09,276
Don't be late to the cocktail hour
you're hosting.
431
00:23:09,487 --> 00:23:11,796
Thank you, Debbie. Well...
432
00:23:12,367 --> 00:23:14,403
...thanks for dropping by.
433
00:23:17,567 --> 00:23:20,365
Sir, was there something
that you wanted to discuss?
434
00:23:20,567 --> 00:23:22,797
No, no. I just thought...
435
00:23:22,967 --> 00:23:26,596
...you know, when you have a daughter,
you just like to know...
436
00:23:27,327 --> 00:23:29,602
You really want to know whether...
437
00:23:31,167 --> 00:23:35,718
Hell. Just tell me you decided to
marry her before you got her pregnant.
438
00:23:38,927 --> 00:23:41,043
Eleven months,
two weeks and three days.
439
00:23:41,687 --> 00:23:44,759
- Excuse me?
- That's when I decided to marry her.
440
00:23:44,927 --> 00:23:46,406
A year ago.
441
00:23:46,567 --> 00:23:48,125
On our third date.
442
00:23:49,847 --> 00:23:51,838
What was the matter
with the first two?
443
00:23:56,167 --> 00:23:57,998
I'll see you at the end of the aisle.
444
00:23:58,207 --> 00:24:01,438
Yeah, we're gonna need
the new numbers from Michigan too.
445
00:24:02,607 --> 00:24:04,325
Yeah. Thanks, Otto.
446
00:24:06,687 --> 00:24:08,882
Josh, he's a big blowhard.
447
00:24:09,087 --> 00:24:10,236
C.J., Mr. Chairman.
448
00:24:10,447 --> 00:24:11,721
Former chairman, Josh.
449
00:24:11,887 --> 00:24:13,684
- Wishful thinking, maybe.
- Oh, no.
450
00:24:13,847 --> 00:24:16,407
We on the sidelines can
see what a great job he's doing.
451
00:24:16,607 --> 00:24:19,246
- I appreciate that, sir.
- Lf we could just get this one...
452
00:24:19,407 --> 00:24:20,840
...to run for something.
453
00:24:21,047 --> 00:24:23,686
- Good to see you. Keep it up.
- You too, sir. Appreciate it.
454
00:24:24,647 --> 00:24:27,036
Barry Goodwin running the party.
Those were the days.
455
00:24:27,247 --> 00:24:30,603
- Yeah.
- You guys must be excited.
456
00:24:30,967 --> 00:24:32,525
Illinois.
457
00:24:32,727 --> 00:24:34,683
Yeah, hopefully we can afford it.
458
00:24:34,847 --> 00:24:37,361
- Pinching pennies?
- Pretty much.
459
00:24:37,527 --> 00:24:39,961
You're up a bit in Washington.
Can you take money out?
460
00:24:40,167 --> 00:24:42,203
- We're pulling out.
- Things that tight?
461
00:24:42,407 --> 00:24:44,238
Welcome to my world.
462
00:24:46,807 --> 00:24:48,365
- Is that Kazakhstan?
- Probably.
463
00:24:48,527 --> 00:24:51,678
Wanna trade? Here.
Take your mind off things.
464
00:24:51,887 --> 00:24:53,684
- Dignitary bingo?
- I've got four across.
465
00:24:53,847 --> 00:24:56,236
Find the Mexican president
and you're home.
466
00:25:02,167 --> 00:25:04,727
- You look nice.
- Nothing says international crisis...
467
00:25:04,887 --> 00:25:06,957
...like stilettos.
- You know what's going on?
468
00:25:07,127 --> 00:25:09,516
- I just got paged.
- Yeah. You really look nice.
469
00:25:09,687 --> 00:25:12,201
- Starting to think you're hitting on me.
- I'm serious.
470
00:25:12,367 --> 00:25:14,881
- The makeup, hair. Who's the guy?
- I try to impress.
471
00:25:15,047 --> 00:25:18,596
- What makes you think there's a guy?
- The necklace, neckline, earrings, back.
472
00:25:18,767 --> 00:25:20,723
Okay, okay. I have a date.
473
00:25:20,927 --> 00:25:23,236
Really? I think you'd call it a date.
474
00:25:24,447 --> 00:25:26,677
I kind of invited Will to the wedding.
475
00:25:27,727 --> 00:25:29,524
Dark hair, just got a big promotion.
476
00:25:29,727 --> 00:25:31,524
- Will Bailey?
- We were talking, and...
477
00:25:31,727 --> 00:25:33,922
- You asked Will on a date?
- I just invited him.
478
00:25:34,127 --> 00:25:36,687
- Will Bailey?
- Yeah, I'm gonna...
479
00:25:40,687 --> 00:25:43,121
What do we got, Miles?
Other than the sensation...
480
00:25:43,327 --> 00:25:45,477
...that we've all landed
in a British farce.
481
00:25:45,687 --> 00:25:47,439
There's been an incident
in Kazakhstan.
482
00:25:47,607 --> 00:25:50,724
The protests at Alma-Ata turned violent
and Tarimov sent in police.
483
00:25:50,927 --> 00:25:53,964
- Any casualties?
- There could be up to 200...
484
00:25:54,127 --> 00:25:55,719
...many Chinese.
- Russian convoys?
485
00:25:55,887 --> 00:25:57,605
Have crossed the border.
486
00:25:57,767 --> 00:25:59,803
We expect the Chinese
to mobilize any minute.
487
00:26:00,767 --> 00:26:04,885
Minority leader.
Postmaster general.
488
00:26:05,367 --> 00:26:08,086
Is that the Swiss ambassador
over there?
489
00:26:08,247 --> 00:26:10,841
- Is this a test?
- Dignitary bingo.
490
00:26:11,047 --> 00:26:12,321
Ten bucks a sheet. You in?
491
00:26:12,487 --> 00:26:14,762
Aren't you supposed to be
hurrying me someplace?
492
00:26:14,967 --> 00:26:18,164
Photo op with Congressman Santos
and then bridal party photo at 4.
493
00:26:18,367 --> 00:26:19,766
- I got a half an hour?
- Maybe.
494
00:26:19,927 --> 00:26:21,997
That the Swiss ambassador or not?
495
00:26:22,527 --> 00:26:24,757
- How much you got riding on this?
- Fifty bucks.
496
00:26:24,967 --> 00:26:27,845
- It's the Duke of Edinburgh.
- Oh, Duke of Edinburgh.
497
00:26:28,047 --> 00:26:29,321
- Congressman.
- Mr. President.
498
00:26:29,487 --> 00:26:31,921
Leo, welcome.
499
00:26:32,327 --> 00:26:35,125
- They like you in Illinois.
- Apparently, I'm growing on them.
500
00:26:35,447 --> 00:26:38,564
Well, after your performance in
those debates, I'm not surprised.
501
00:26:38,807 --> 00:26:41,765
- Wasn't he something?
- You should see me with a cheese steak.
502
00:26:41,967 --> 00:26:43,685
Senator Montgomery wanted a word.
503
00:26:43,887 --> 00:26:45,479
- That's my cue.
- Find me later.
504
00:26:45,687 --> 00:26:48,804
We'll talk about ways we can
be helpful in the home stretch.
505
00:26:49,007 --> 00:26:50,838
- Thank you so much, sir.
- Good luck.
506
00:26:53,847 --> 00:26:56,042
So things are looking up, bub.
507
00:26:56,287 --> 00:26:58,596
We're making some headway.
508
00:26:58,767 --> 00:27:02,601
You know, if you win this damn thing,
you're stuck here another four years.
509
00:27:02,807 --> 00:27:06,800
I like to think of the vice-presidency
as more of an emeritus position.
510
00:27:07,087 --> 00:27:09,999
- Sure.
- How's everything on this end?
511
00:27:10,167 --> 00:27:11,441
Well, Russia and China...
512
00:27:11,607 --> 00:27:15,043
...are doing their little Sharks
and Jets routine in Central Asia...
513
00:27:15,207 --> 00:27:17,004
...and Abbey's got
an understudy for me.
514
00:27:17,207 --> 00:27:19,960
- Seriously?
- Yeah, Uncle Norman's on call.
515
00:27:20,127 --> 00:27:23,324
- I've been getting some calls about Josh.
- Yeah.
516
00:27:23,527 --> 00:27:28,157
Tripplehorne, Nayak,
Stackhouse, Montgomery.
517
00:27:28,367 --> 00:27:31,723
- Losing six weeks out, people get antsy.
- Sure.
518
00:27:31,927 --> 00:27:34,316
- It's always like that around this time.
- Absolutely.
519
00:27:35,327 --> 00:27:36,885
Who'd they want to replace me?
520
00:27:38,247 --> 00:27:40,044
Okay, so maybe not always.
521
00:27:40,367 --> 00:27:42,119
Okay, enough gossiping, ladies.
522
00:27:42,327 --> 00:27:44,557
Debbie, you look lovely as always.
523
00:27:44,727 --> 00:27:48,037
You've got 20 minutes. I assume
you wanna say hello to the Duke.
524
00:27:48,207 --> 00:27:51,244
- That's not the Duke of Edinburgh.
- Catch you later.
525
00:27:53,207 --> 00:27:55,721
Hey, I thought the wedding photos
were at 4.
526
00:27:55,887 --> 00:27:59,357
We got a little ahead, so I thought
you might wanna get in that dance.
527
00:27:59,527 --> 00:28:01,802
Have I mentioned this
mother-of-the-bride thing...
528
00:28:01,967 --> 00:28:03,320
...agrees with you?
529
00:28:03,967 --> 00:28:06,527
When Liz got married,
you said I didn't look old enough.
530
00:28:06,687 --> 00:28:08,882
- You didn't.
- I do now?
531
00:28:09,047 --> 00:28:11,845
- I didn't say that.
- What did you say?
532
00:28:12,007 --> 00:28:13,326
Is there any way out for me?
533
00:28:13,487 --> 00:28:15,239
- Probably not.
- Mr. President.
534
00:28:15,447 --> 00:28:17,961
The Chinese troops have started
moving into Kazakhstan.
535
00:28:18,127 --> 00:28:20,516
We've got a translator.
We're getting the premier.
536
00:28:20,847 --> 00:28:24,237
- It's okay. We'll do the photos after.
- Okay.
537
00:28:24,847 --> 00:28:26,200
Jed?
538
00:28:26,407 --> 00:28:28,921
- The service starts at 5.
- Yeah.
539
00:28:38,487 --> 00:28:39,761
Fried wonton?
540
00:28:39,927 --> 00:28:41,280
Hey.
541
00:28:41,607 --> 00:28:43,518
Really, they're pretty good.
542
00:28:43,767 --> 00:28:46,235
- Yeah?
- They're out of champagne, though.
543
00:28:46,647 --> 00:28:48,444
- Okay.
- First lady just gave me $20...
544
00:28:48,607 --> 00:28:52,646
...asked me to pick up
a bottle of Cold Duck. Josh.
545
00:28:53,767 --> 00:28:55,439
I'm sorry. Have you seen Leo?
546
00:28:55,647 --> 00:28:58,207
I'm bored. I'm a woman
waiting to be entertained.
547
00:28:58,407 --> 00:29:00,238
He was with the president.
I'm sure...
548
00:29:00,447 --> 00:29:02,324
I saw him heading toward
the East Room.
549
00:29:02,487 --> 00:29:04,079
He was with the congressman.
550
00:29:04,287 --> 00:29:06,437
And Barry Goodwin
and Senator Montgomery.
551
00:29:07,127 --> 00:29:09,083
It looked pretty intense.
552
00:29:10,887 --> 00:29:12,525
Illinois?
553
00:29:15,287 --> 00:29:17,005
I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.
554
00:29:21,887 --> 00:29:26,278
Leo, I'm all for allegiance but
loyalty for loyalty's sake is ridiculous.
555
00:29:26,447 --> 00:29:28,677
- George, he's a...
- Josh got it wrong in Illinois.
556
00:29:28,847 --> 00:29:32,886
- Sure, with the benefit of hindsight...
- Twenty-one electoral votes.
557
00:29:33,087 --> 00:29:36,318
I didn't see you calling
for a major effort in Illinois.
558
00:29:36,967 --> 00:29:38,241
Barry?
559
00:29:39,567 --> 00:29:43,685
Look, I have never seen an electoral map
as inside out as this one.
560
00:29:43,887 --> 00:29:46,606
And as for Illinois,
we were 10 points down.
561
00:29:46,887 --> 00:29:49,196
Chicago's one of the most
expensive media markets.
562
00:29:49,407 --> 00:29:52,763
Spending money there would have meant
sacrificing Iowa, maybe Missouri...
563
00:29:52,927 --> 00:29:55,122
...and slimming our ad buy
in Wisconsin. But...
564
00:29:55,727 --> 00:29:58,002
- It's cost us.
- Yes, it has.
565
00:29:58,807 --> 00:30:00,923
Polls move money
as much as money moves polls.
566
00:30:01,087 --> 00:30:03,476
If you'd been in Illinois,
you'd have this sooner...
567
00:30:03,647 --> 00:30:05,638
...possibly seen a boost
in fundraising...
568
00:30:05,807 --> 00:30:08,526
...and maybe you wouldn't be pulling
out of so many states.
569
00:30:08,687 --> 00:30:10,678
Lyman's done terrific.
But Congressman...
570
00:30:10,847 --> 00:30:13,600
...I'm not sure he can see you through
to the finish line.
571
00:30:15,247 --> 00:30:17,283
- Who can?
- Only one guy I'd want running...
572
00:30:17,487 --> 00:30:18,920
...a campaign this tough.
573
00:30:19,367 --> 00:30:21,085
That's the guy standing next to you.
574
00:30:37,367 --> 00:30:40,359
- You should sit down.
- It'll wrinkle.
575
00:30:46,647 --> 00:30:48,603
You know, we considered
going to Las Vegas.
576
00:30:48,807 --> 00:30:51,162
Sounds pretty good about now, huh?
577
00:30:52,367 --> 00:30:53,800
Come in.
578
00:30:54,447 --> 00:30:55,800
- Hi.
- Hello.
579
00:30:55,967 --> 00:30:57,241
C.J. Asked me to tell you...
580
00:30:57,447 --> 00:31:00,359
...they're circulating additional
refreshments downstairs.
581
00:31:00,567 --> 00:31:03,639
- Know when the president might join us?
- Afraid not.
582
00:31:05,967 --> 00:31:09,755
Well, I should... Get back.
583
00:31:10,247 --> 00:31:11,885
Congratulations.
584
00:31:14,367 --> 00:31:17,200
Why is Will Bailey wearing a tux?
585
00:31:17,407 --> 00:31:19,523
Mr. President, we cannot pull back.
586
00:31:19,727 --> 00:31:21,797
Lian, this doesn't make any sense.
587
00:31:21,967 --> 00:31:25,357
The Russians supply you with the oil
they take out of Kazakhstan.
588
00:31:25,967 --> 00:31:29,437
At a premium, some of which goes
to owners of the pipelines.
589
00:31:29,607 --> 00:31:33,316
- American companies, I believe.
- We're not supporting the Russians.
590
00:31:33,887 --> 00:31:37,846
Yet you're condoning their attempt
to annex half of Central Asia.
591
00:31:38,047 --> 00:31:40,117
Lian, I'm not condoning anything.
592
00:31:40,287 --> 00:31:44,565
I am trying to stop two nuclear powers
from going to war over oil.
593
00:31:45,287 --> 00:31:46,606
Oil?
594
00:31:46,767 --> 00:31:49,486
Mr. President, this is not about oil.
595
00:31:49,847 --> 00:31:53,681
It is about the brutal suppression
of a democratic movement...
596
00:31:54,127 --> 00:31:59,724
...a movement that includes many
ethnic Chinese, our brothers and sisters.
597
00:31:59,927 --> 00:32:03,966
You, of all people,
should understand our concern.
598
00:32:04,527 --> 00:32:08,042
Look, you've only got one more hour
of campaigning left, anyway.
599
00:32:08,207 --> 00:32:09,526
He's right.
600
00:32:09,687 --> 00:32:12,485
Once you finish the debate,
you're pretty much done.
601
00:32:12,687 --> 00:32:13,961
Tell that to my schedulers.
602
00:32:14,127 --> 00:32:16,960
Due respect, you're not exactly
a force on the campaign trail.
603
00:32:17,167 --> 00:32:19,078
Josh is gonna have
to move his war room...
604
00:32:19,247 --> 00:32:21,044
...to the congressman's plane,
anyway.
605
00:32:21,207 --> 00:32:23,767
You guys start campaigning together,
you can work there.
606
00:32:23,967 --> 00:32:26,322
- Might play better.
- We'd cover half the ground.
607
00:32:26,487 --> 00:32:28,239
You'd get a boost
from the appearances.
608
00:32:28,407 --> 00:32:30,875
This campaign should be
making the best use...
609
00:32:31,047 --> 00:32:33,083
...of its political assets.
- We are.
610
00:32:33,247 --> 00:32:37,126
With me on the trail and Josh Lyman
running things at headquarters.
611
00:32:37,727 --> 00:32:39,285
Congressman?
612
00:32:40,447 --> 00:32:42,677
- Appreciate your thoughts, gentlemen.
- All right.
613
00:32:42,847 --> 00:32:46,078
- Thank you, congressman.
- Thank you, congressman.
614
00:32:46,807 --> 00:32:49,640
We should find Josh,
go over the morning meetings.
615
00:32:50,647 --> 00:32:52,046
Leo.
616
00:32:56,527 --> 00:32:58,483
Should Josh
be running this campaign?
617
00:33:11,447 --> 00:33:13,165
- Hey, stranger.
- Abbey.
618
00:33:13,367 --> 00:33:16,200
- Nice speech in Des Moines.
- You believe this show I'm in?
619
00:33:16,407 --> 00:33:18,716
- You getting any sleep?
- And eating my vegetables.
620
00:33:18,927 --> 00:33:20,280
- How's Ellie?
- Still standing.
621
00:33:20,487 --> 00:33:22,682
- That's good.
- Not really. The dress wrinkles.
622
00:33:22,887 --> 00:33:24,923
- He'll be here any minute.
- You think?
623
00:33:25,327 --> 00:33:26,601
Miracles happen.
624
00:33:26,767 --> 00:33:29,998
Lian, I need your men
to stop advancing.
625
00:33:30,167 --> 00:33:31,964
If you'll just hold your position...
626
00:33:32,167 --> 00:33:33,998
I'm not sure
what that will accomplish.
627
00:33:34,207 --> 00:33:35,606
Let me talk to the Russians...
628
00:33:35,767 --> 00:33:38,156
...try and convince them
to push President Tarimov...
629
00:33:38,367 --> 00:33:40,039
...to reschedule elections.
630
00:33:40,207 --> 00:33:42,721
It was the Russians
who put Tarimov in power...
631
00:33:42,887 --> 00:33:46,323
...in the first place. For years,
this is how the Russians operated.
632
00:33:46,567 --> 00:33:48,285
- Lian.
- And given their history...
633
00:33:48,487 --> 00:33:50,762
...it seems clear the only way to stop...
- Lian.
634
00:33:50,967 --> 00:33:53,401
...their continued aggression...
- Damn it, Lian.
635
00:33:53,567 --> 00:33:54,920
Would you shut up, already?
636
00:33:59,647 --> 00:34:01,080
Is your daughter married?
637
00:34:01,887 --> 00:34:04,117
- Excuse me, Mr. President?
- Your daughter.
638
00:34:04,287 --> 00:34:07,757
The one I met when we were in Beijing.
Is she married?
639
00:34:08,967 --> 00:34:11,401
Yes, she was married
two years ago last spring.
640
00:34:11,607 --> 00:34:13,086
Then you will understand...
641
00:34:13,247 --> 00:34:15,761
...that my daughter's wedding
is this afternoon...
642
00:34:15,927 --> 00:34:19,715
...and that she has been waiting for
46 minutes for me to give her away...
643
00:34:19,887 --> 00:34:22,321
...because I can't put down
this damn phone...
644
00:34:22,487 --> 00:34:26,366
...until you tell me that you're not
gonna start World War III today!
645
00:34:26,527 --> 00:34:28,358
Now, for the love of God, Lian...
646
00:34:28,527 --> 00:34:30,757
...would you please just give me
one half-hour...
647
00:34:30,927 --> 00:34:33,646
...so I can go and walk my little girl
down the aisle?
648
00:34:39,007 --> 00:34:40,520
Mr. President...
649
00:34:40,687 --> 00:34:43,520
...we can continue this discussion
in one hour.
650
00:34:43,727 --> 00:34:46,195
And your troops
will hold their position until then?
651
00:34:47,047 --> 00:34:49,242
Yes, Mr. President.
652
00:34:50,647 --> 00:34:52,524
Thank you, Lian.
653
00:34:59,367 --> 00:35:01,323
You've got one hour.
654
00:35:07,647 --> 00:35:09,126
Is the wedding starting?
655
00:35:09,287 --> 00:35:10,845
Not yet.
656
00:35:13,407 --> 00:35:15,875
How's Senator Montgomery?
657
00:35:16,167 --> 00:35:17,919
Full of hot air, as usual.
658
00:35:18,127 --> 00:35:19,640
Who does he want to replace me?
659
00:35:20,847 --> 00:35:22,724
- Josh.
- Who is it?
660
00:35:23,687 --> 00:35:26,520
- No one wants to replace you.
- It's Goodwin too, isn't it?
661
00:35:28,247 --> 00:35:30,124
Son of a bitch.
662
00:35:30,447 --> 00:35:32,438
He was just shaking my...
663
00:35:33,207 --> 00:35:35,277
So who do they want?
Is it Peipman?
664
00:35:36,047 --> 00:35:37,480
Blume?
665
00:35:37,687 --> 00:35:40,838
Guy's tone-deaf when it comes to
message politics but he'd be good.
666
00:35:41,047 --> 00:35:44,164
- Josh.
- You could get Simonds or Sharp.
667
00:35:44,367 --> 00:35:48,121
Maybe you should promote Lou. It's not
like any others have run a presidential...
668
00:35:52,247 --> 00:35:53,521
They want you.
669
00:35:56,527 --> 00:35:58,199
It's you, isn't it?
670
00:35:59,047 --> 00:36:01,277
Hell, that's who I'd want.
671
00:36:02,207 --> 00:36:04,163
You would've known. You...
672
00:36:04,327 --> 00:36:06,522
You would've been in Illinois
months ago.
673
00:36:06,727 --> 00:36:08,479
- You would've figured it out.
- Stop it.
674
00:36:08,687 --> 00:36:10,757
Where would you
have gotten the dough?
675
00:36:11,247 --> 00:36:12,680
Where would you get the money?
676
00:36:12,887 --> 00:36:16,277
I wouldn't have. I wouldn't have
been in Illinois. Polls looked as bad...
677
00:36:16,447 --> 00:36:20,725
...as when we ran against Eisenhower.
I'd make the same decision as you.
678
00:36:20,927 --> 00:36:24,966
And that's exactly what I told
Barry Goodwin and George Montgomery.
679
00:36:28,567 --> 00:36:29,682
These are tough calls.
680
00:36:29,847 --> 00:36:32,839
It's impossible to know
how they're gonna turn out.
681
00:36:33,007 --> 00:36:35,726
What's important is how you respond
when you get it wrong...
682
00:36:35,887 --> 00:36:38,765
...how you react, your next move.
- I don't know my next move.
683
00:36:38,927 --> 00:36:42,158
I've been staring at this damn map
all day. I still haven't got a clue.
684
00:36:42,327 --> 00:36:44,682
Iowa's vulnerable.
I don't know with Wisconsin.
685
00:36:44,847 --> 00:36:48,044
We can't take a dime out
of Ohio, Florida, Texas.
686
00:36:48,207 --> 00:36:50,038
I don't know where to start.
687
00:36:53,287 --> 00:36:55,517
They're right. You should take over.
688
00:36:55,727 --> 00:36:58,241
Really, you're all trying to kill me.
689
00:36:59,607 --> 00:37:01,165
The wedding's about to start.
690
00:37:02,847 --> 00:37:04,519
Let me see the map, come on.
691
00:37:08,967 --> 00:37:12,357
Come on, we'll talk about it
on the way.
692
00:37:21,767 --> 00:37:23,041
You made it.
693
00:37:27,807 --> 00:37:29,798
Honey, you look...
694
00:37:32,007 --> 00:37:33,440
Dad?
695
00:37:33,967 --> 00:37:35,844
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
696
00:37:36,727 --> 00:37:38,683
It's okay, Dad. Really.
697
00:37:42,127 --> 00:37:44,357
You wanted a White House wedding.
698
00:37:49,927 --> 00:37:52,805
All of that's being taken
into consideration.
699
00:37:53,167 --> 00:37:55,158
Well, I thank you for your support.
700
00:37:55,327 --> 00:37:56,999
Thank you so much.
701
00:37:58,047 --> 00:37:59,685
I'll meet you in there.
702
00:38:07,567 --> 00:38:10,081
- How'd it go?
- Fine.
703
00:38:10,287 --> 00:38:12,960
- You're taking over?
- No.
704
00:38:15,287 --> 00:38:16,720
- I thought...
- Josh will make...
705
00:38:16,887 --> 00:38:19,879
...lots of strategic decisions
over the next few weeks.
706
00:38:20,047 --> 00:38:22,242
He's gonna sweat them
like life and death.
707
00:38:22,447 --> 00:38:24,085
They'll be important,
which is why...
708
00:38:24,247 --> 00:38:25,999
...we'll be in on every one of them.
709
00:38:26,207 --> 00:38:27,481
But they're meaningless...
710
00:38:27,647 --> 00:38:30,115
...compared to the decision
the voters have to make...
711
00:38:30,327 --> 00:38:33,239
...just by listening to you
and trying to figure out...
712
00:38:33,407 --> 00:38:37,366
...if they can connect with the idea
of Matt Santos as president.
713
00:38:37,567 --> 00:38:39,444
And Josh has nothing
to do with that.
714
00:38:41,967 --> 00:38:45,482
Goodwin's right.
Josh has taken you as far as he can.
715
00:38:46,767 --> 00:38:48,962
The rest is up to you.
716
00:38:59,647 --> 00:39:01,444
Smile.
717
00:39:02,807 --> 00:39:04,923
And go.
718
00:39:05,567 --> 00:39:07,797
And go.
719
00:39:07,967 --> 00:39:13,405
That's right. And go.
Smile.
720
00:39:31,647 --> 00:39:33,399
You okay, Dad?
721
00:39:36,527 --> 00:39:40,042
You know, one time
during my first term in Congress...
722
00:39:40,207 --> 00:39:43,165
...we went on a Congressional delegation
to East Germany and...
723
00:39:43,327 --> 00:39:45,761
You don't remember,
couldn't have been more than 5.
724
00:39:45,927 --> 00:39:47,804
- At any rate,
we got to East Berlin...
725
00:39:48,847 --> 00:39:51,680
...we were waiting with our passports
at Checkpoint Charlie...
726
00:39:51,847 --> 00:39:54,600
...when, all of a sudden,
you bolted out...
727
00:39:54,767 --> 00:39:57,406
...into the no man's land
between the two guard posts...
728
00:39:57,567 --> 00:40:00,639
...and everything stopped.
729
00:40:00,927 --> 00:40:04,636
The MPs just froze and your mother and I
were scared to death. But not you.
730
00:40:04,847 --> 00:40:09,523
You just calmly looked up at one of
the soldiers on the wall and you waved.
731
00:40:09,687 --> 00:40:12,360
And the soldier waved back.
732
00:40:12,527 --> 00:40:14,245
And then...
733
00:40:17,567 --> 00:40:21,321
And then all the soldiers
were waving at each other.
734
00:40:22,407 --> 00:40:24,398
I remember, Dad.
735
00:40:37,047 --> 00:40:38,719
Take my arm.
736
00:41:41,287 --> 00:41:43,278
