Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,447 --> 00:00:06,960
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:07,127 --> 00:00:09,197
Can you brief me on Kazakhstan?
3
00:00:09,367 --> 00:00:11,437
Has a deal been struck?
4
00:00:11,607 --> 00:00:13,962
- Classified.
- So the details would be...?
5
00:00:14,127 --> 00:00:15,606
Also classified.
6
00:00:15,767 --> 00:00:17,883
- New Hampshire. First District.
- We'll have a good shot at the seat.
7
00:00:18,047 --> 00:00:20,436
I think so.
And I think I'm the man to do it.
8
00:00:20,607 --> 00:00:22,165
With a little help from you fine people...
9
00:00:22,327 --> 00:00:25,399
...I'll be elected to the United States
House of Representatives.
10
00:00:25,567 --> 00:00:28,525
If the worst they can say about
me is I'm Jed Bartlet's son-in-law...
11
00:00:28,687 --> 00:00:31,963
Once the public gets to know me as an
individual, it's an entirely different race.
12
00:00:32,127 --> 00:00:34,482
You're the politician.
Why the hell don't you run?
13
00:00:34,647 --> 00:00:35,716
I don't want it.
14
00:00:35,887 --> 00:00:37,161
Then why would you let Doug?
15
00:00:37,727 --> 00:00:40,195
Because he's my husband,
and he asked me to.
16
00:00:40,367 --> 00:00:44,246
I've been thinking about what might
have been if it weren't for the conflict.
17
00:00:44,407 --> 00:00:47,524
I'm almost over it.
I'm right there and you come back.
18
00:01:00,807 --> 00:01:02,923
- Forgive me. You should be drinking.
- For what?
19
00:01:03,607 --> 00:01:04,926
- You look incredible.
- Stop.
20
00:01:05,087 --> 00:01:06,805
- Well, you do.
- That's unnecessary.
21
00:01:06,967 --> 00:01:08,639
- You okay?
- I'm just great.
22
00:01:08,807 --> 00:01:10,081
- Have a seat.
- Thanks.
23
00:01:11,527 --> 00:01:14,280
So how's the president?
24
00:01:14,447 --> 00:01:16,802
- We off the record?
- Please, yes.
25
00:01:17,727 --> 00:01:20,764
- He's doing great.
- I wouldn't want that to get around.
26
00:01:20,927 --> 00:01:23,521
I'm surprised you called.
I remember shunning you.
27
00:01:23,687 --> 00:01:25,564
Dignity's not my forte.
28
00:01:27,647 --> 00:01:28,921
So...
29
00:01:31,167 --> 00:01:33,476
- They kept the kitchen open.
- Then we should order.
30
00:01:33,647 --> 00:01:35,842
Hi. Thank you.
31
00:01:36,007 --> 00:01:37,679
- Like to hear the specials?
- Please.
32
00:01:37,847 --> 00:01:39,724
We're featuring
New Zealand lamb shank...
33
00:01:39,887 --> 00:01:41,366
- Is this from a list?
- I'm sorry?
34
00:01:41,527 --> 00:01:43,677
- The specials, they written down?
- Right here.
35
00:01:43,847 --> 00:01:45,360
We'll read them. We're readers.
36
00:01:45,527 --> 00:01:47,006
- Whatever you want.
- It's easier.
37
00:01:47,167 --> 00:01:49,442
- Then you don't have to perform.
- Fine with me.
38
00:01:49,607 --> 00:01:51,279
Thanks.
39
00:01:55,287 --> 00:01:57,676
A night out.
This is like a week in Aruba.
40
00:01:57,847 --> 00:01:59,326
Except it's cold and dark.
41
00:01:59,767 --> 00:02:01,678
- What?
- I was making a joke.
42
00:02:01,847 --> 00:02:03,326
Oh, you don't have to do that.
43
00:02:03,487 --> 00:02:05,921
Relaxing makes me nervous.
Like I'm missing something.
44
00:02:06,447 --> 00:02:08,119
- You want a drink?
- No.
45
00:02:08,287 --> 00:02:09,959
- So, what's up?
- What's up?
46
00:02:10,127 --> 00:02:12,118
- Why am I here?
- You really want me to...?
47
00:02:12,287 --> 00:02:15,245
- Cut to the chase. I do.
- All right, well...
48
00:02:18,607 --> 00:02:20,996
I'm having a bit
of performance anxiety here.
49
00:02:21,207 --> 00:02:23,675
Well, get yourself together.
I'll look at the menu.
50
00:02:24,087 --> 00:02:25,486
I wanted to see you.
51
00:02:26,447 --> 00:02:27,721
That's it?
52
00:02:28,567 --> 00:02:30,444
How am I supposed to...?
53
00:02:30,607 --> 00:02:33,121
I know you've always had a thing
about reporters.
54
00:02:33,287 --> 00:02:35,721
- A "thing"?
- When you were press secretary.
55
00:02:35,887 --> 00:02:37,479
- I wouldn't call it a "thing."
- No?
56
00:02:37,647 --> 00:02:39,717
They tick me off, is all.
You wanna know why?
57
00:02:39,887 --> 00:02:42,879
- That's okay.
- They care more about a good story...
58
00:02:43,047 --> 00:02:44,366
...than the truth.
- I see.
59
00:02:44,527 --> 00:02:47,564
I have to live in a culture where
what's important doesn't matter.
60
00:02:47,727 --> 00:02:49,957
We're too preoccupied
with attractive people...
61
00:02:50,127 --> 00:02:52,083
...playing musical genitalia
in Hollywood.
62
00:02:52,407 --> 00:02:54,284
- It's disgusting.
- I cover politicians.
63
00:02:54,447 --> 00:02:56,278
- Most are homely, so no one cares.
- True.
64
00:02:56,447 --> 00:02:58,756
If they had guts,
we'd write better stories.
65
00:02:58,927 --> 00:03:01,441
If we had the support
of a well-informed constituency...
66
00:03:01,607 --> 00:03:04,838
As opposed to what, leading?
Wanna know why politicians tick me off?
67
00:03:05,007 --> 00:03:07,396
- They're attracted to false heroics.
- What?
68
00:03:07,567 --> 00:03:09,797
There's two places
you can see an egomaniac...
69
00:03:09,967 --> 00:03:13,403
...talking about how great he is,
how he's gonna kick his opponent's ass.
70
00:03:13,567 --> 00:03:17,355
One is a professional wrestling match,
the other, a national political convention.
71
00:03:17,527 --> 00:03:19,438
Can't do anything
if you don't get elected.
72
00:03:19,607 --> 00:03:21,325
He never has to get elected again.
73
00:03:21,487 --> 00:03:24,399
You're content with the same game
of well-intentioned defense...
74
00:03:24,567 --> 00:03:26,364
...you've always played.
- Not true.
75
00:03:26,527 --> 00:03:28,961
You can do more in a day
than most do in a lifetime.
76
00:03:29,127 --> 00:03:31,880
You think I'm not aware
I'm living my obituary right now?
77
00:03:32,047 --> 00:03:35,278
So don't get hypnotized by complexity.
Make it count.
78
00:03:38,967 --> 00:03:41,686
- What are you working on?
- Right now?
79
00:03:41,847 --> 00:03:43,439
Trying to keep China and Russia...
80
00:03:43,607 --> 00:03:46,041
...from annihilating
the Northern Hemisphere over oil.
81
00:03:46,207 --> 00:03:48,767
- What are you working on?
- Couple of House races.
82
00:03:48,927 --> 00:03:51,646
- Well, no good comes from that.
- No.
83
00:03:55,527 --> 00:03:58,724
- Heard anything about Doug Westin?
- The president's son-in-law...
84
00:03:58,887 --> 00:04:01,321
...might be the next congressman
from New Hampshire.
85
00:04:01,487 --> 00:04:04,638
- He's only down three points.
- Doesn't care about being his own man.
86
00:04:04,807 --> 00:04:07,401
He's asking the president
to stump for him in Manchester.
87
00:04:07,567 --> 00:04:09,444
- Really?
- Yeah. Why?
88
00:04:10,527 --> 00:04:14,202
He's getting a lot of heat,
bunch of profiles, rising-star crap.
89
00:04:14,407 --> 00:04:16,159
And I was surprised...
90
00:04:16,327 --> 00:04:19,125
...because the one time I met him
he seemed kind of...
91
00:04:19,287 --> 00:04:20,561
- Unimpressive?
- Yeah.
92
00:04:20,727 --> 00:04:23,878
Are you implying that success
isn't a question of inherent value?
93
00:04:24,047 --> 00:04:25,878
- No, I would never do that.
- Good.
94
00:04:26,047 --> 00:04:27,685
Okay, let's get a move on, here.
95
00:04:28,527 --> 00:04:31,644
- Fish is a stupid thing to get.
- He may be banging the nanny.
96
00:04:31,807 --> 00:04:33,843
I want a big slab of... What?
97
00:04:34,207 --> 00:04:37,358
I think the president's son-in-law
may be banging the nanny.
98
00:04:37,527 --> 00:04:38,960
- Is that a euphemism?
- No.
99
00:04:39,127 --> 00:04:40,924
Well, "banging" is, I guess.
100
00:04:41,087 --> 00:04:42,566
It's just a rumor.
101
00:04:42,727 --> 00:04:44,718
There's no official corroboration...
102
00:04:44,887 --> 00:04:47,447
...but it's flying around
pretty heavy up there...
103
00:04:47,607 --> 00:04:50,838
...and it could break any minute.
104
00:04:52,167 --> 00:04:55,125
The president has a lot
of political enemies in New Hampshire.
105
00:04:55,567 --> 00:05:00,243
They might wanna create a circus
or just hurt him for spite.
106
00:05:00,407 --> 00:05:02,477
Gotcha. Great. Thank you.
I'm gonna go.
107
00:05:02,647 --> 00:05:04,763
You're what?
Shoot, I ruined the dinner.
108
00:05:04,927 --> 00:05:07,395
- Tomorrow's a big day. It got bigger.
- You gotta eat.
109
00:05:07,567 --> 00:05:08,966
- Get the steak.
- Can I see you?
110
00:05:09,127 --> 00:05:10,480
- Sure, it was swell.
- When?
111
00:05:10,647 --> 00:05:11,921
Soon as we're out of office.
112
00:06:00,687 --> 00:06:03,076
How do we expect the people
of Kazakhstan to vote...
113
00:06:03,247 --> 00:06:05,636
...if we can't guarantee the safety
of our monitors?
114
00:06:05,807 --> 00:06:07,638
- It's gonna diminish turnout.
- You think?
115
00:06:07,807 --> 00:06:10,560
Chinese want revenge.
They're not looking for a referendum.
116
00:06:10,727 --> 00:06:12,285
Is there a legitimacy threshold?
117
00:06:12,447 --> 00:06:14,244
You mean participation? No.
118
00:06:14,407 --> 00:06:15,681
Chinese troops are holding?
119
00:06:15,847 --> 00:06:18,520
Yeah, but any further loss of life,
they'll have to go in.
120
00:06:18,687 --> 00:06:20,917
The Kazakhs understand
that one cop goes nutso...
121
00:06:21,087 --> 00:06:23,157
...and everyone gets to live
in a sarcophagus?
122
00:06:23,327 --> 00:06:25,363
Tarimov understands the stakes.
He gets it.
123
00:06:25,527 --> 00:06:29,202
- I mean, these people love their vodka.
- Don't drink and play thermonuclear war.
124
00:06:29,367 --> 00:06:32,165
That's what I'm saying.
Whatever communication we have...
125
00:06:32,327 --> 00:06:35,717
...we emphasize that everybody needs
to bury their dead and vote in peace.
126
00:06:35,887 --> 00:06:38,037
What do we know about
attacks in the Sudan?
127
00:06:38,447 --> 00:06:40,324
- The refugee camp in Darfur?
- Yeah.
128
00:06:40,487 --> 00:06:42,443
Janjaweed warriors
attacked the camp...
129
00:06:42,607 --> 00:06:44,837
...along with government troops
out of Khartoum.
130
00:06:45,007 --> 00:06:47,043
- This is new, right?
- Attacking the camps is.
131
00:06:47,207 --> 00:06:49,004
Directed by the government
in Khartoum?
132
00:06:49,167 --> 00:06:52,477
African Union says the Janjaweed and
Sudanese government are the same.
133
00:06:52,647 --> 00:06:54,922
Government helicopters
were part of the assault.
134
00:06:55,087 --> 00:06:57,078
There's rape trauma,
there's amputations.
135
00:06:57,247 --> 00:06:59,886
All the men are dead.
We've seen it before.
136
00:07:00,087 --> 00:07:03,477
The big question is, will there be
another member of the Bartlet family...
137
00:07:03,647 --> 00:07:05,285
... in the Capitol come next January?
138
00:07:05,447 --> 00:07:07,517
- Mr. Westin, who has insisted...
- Look good.
139
00:07:07,687 --> 00:07:09,200
... on running as his own man...
140
00:07:09,367 --> 00:07:12,006
...nevertheless trails...
- Peacekeepers are overwhelmed.
141
00:07:12,167 --> 00:07:15,603
Yeah. The minute it gets too dangerous,
the humanitarian groups pull out...
142
00:07:15,767 --> 00:07:17,359
...and we have genocide on smack.
143
00:07:17,527 --> 00:07:19,085
Let's move on this.
144
00:07:20,127 --> 00:07:22,436
- Really?
- We can get a resolution through the U.N.
145
00:07:22,607 --> 00:07:24,723
There's a Security Council meeting.
146
00:07:24,887 --> 00:07:26,479
Yeah, next week.
147
00:07:26,927 --> 00:07:29,919
Let's chop the financial balls
off these bastards in Khartoum.
148
00:07:30,087 --> 00:07:31,884
- How?
- We sanction their oil revenues.
149
00:07:32,047 --> 00:07:33,685
- We agreed...
- To sit on our butts?
150
00:07:33,847 --> 00:07:35,724
China would veto.
We've never tried it.
151
00:07:35,887 --> 00:07:37,161
China needs us now.
152
00:07:37,327 --> 00:07:40,797
They need a broker to make sure
this election in Kazakhstan is legitimate.
153
00:07:41,447 --> 00:07:43,642
- Is this coming from the president?
- From me.
154
00:07:43,807 --> 00:07:46,401
I'm gonna see what I can get
and then take it to him.
155
00:07:47,407 --> 00:07:49,602
If we assure them
their flow of oil is secure...
156
00:07:49,767 --> 00:07:51,837
...they may be willing
to sacrifice something.
157
00:07:52,007 --> 00:07:54,316
They give up what they're getting
from the Sudan...
158
00:07:54,487 --> 00:07:55,886
...and get it from Kazakhstan.
159
00:07:56,047 --> 00:07:57,685
Don't wanna jeopardize neutrality.
160
00:07:57,847 --> 00:07:59,565
They can't know it's coming from us.
161
00:07:59,967 --> 00:08:01,798
- We find a proxy.
- Yeah.
162
00:08:03,767 --> 00:08:06,679
France and Germany want us
to let them sell arms to China again.
163
00:08:07,647 --> 00:08:09,319
Margaret?
164
00:08:10,127 --> 00:08:12,721
- I need the French ambassador.
- He's over at State.
165
00:08:13,007 --> 00:08:14,599
- Will's here.
- Will?
166
00:08:14,767 --> 00:08:17,122
- Send him in.
- I'm gonna take off.
167
00:08:17,447 --> 00:08:20,120
- Great, thanks.
- Campaign coordination in the Roosevelt.
168
00:08:20,287 --> 00:08:21,959
- Josh is waiting.
- A conference call.
169
00:08:22,127 --> 00:08:24,800
Actually, he's in town,
so he wanted to do it in person.
170
00:08:24,967 --> 00:08:28,004
And Steve Laussen called again
from Refugees' Rights Alliance.
171
00:08:28,167 --> 00:08:31,716
He wants five minutes. Actually,
it's more like he demanded five minutes.
172
00:08:31,887 --> 00:08:33,366
- I told him no.
- Squeeze him in.
173
00:08:34,687 --> 00:08:36,803
- Really?
- Why not?
174
00:08:37,207 --> 00:08:38,765
You, I need. Come here.
175
00:08:39,367 --> 00:08:40,766
- What's wrong?
- Close the door.
176
00:08:40,927 --> 00:08:42,406
- I didn't do it.
- Close the door.
177
00:08:42,567 --> 00:08:44,683
- Toby did it.
- Shut up.
178
00:08:56,847 --> 00:08:58,326
Gonna talk now?
179
00:08:59,887 --> 00:09:02,765
Seriously, I don't react well to this.
180
00:09:02,927 --> 00:09:04,326
It's like staring at a dog.
181
00:09:04,487 --> 00:09:06,682
Doug Westin is having an affair
with his nanny.
182
00:09:06,887 --> 00:09:09,276
I don't wanna know that.
Why did you tell me that?
183
00:09:09,447 --> 00:09:12,245
You deal with the press.
I don't want you to get blind-sided.
184
00:09:12,407 --> 00:09:15,763
Exactly. I work with the press.
I do my best when I'm the least-informed.
185
00:09:15,927 --> 00:09:17,406
- You taught me that.
- Suck it up.
186
00:09:17,567 --> 00:09:19,398
I can't act. I'm a terrible actor.
187
00:09:19,567 --> 00:09:21,683
You were in New Hampshire
during the primary.
188
00:09:21,847 --> 00:09:24,566
- So what?
- Find out if there's truth to said rumor.
189
00:09:24,727 --> 00:09:26,445
- How?
- You'll figure it out.
190
00:09:27,127 --> 00:09:28,401
- Wow.
- You think?
191
00:09:28,567 --> 00:09:32,446
I've got the president flying there to lend
credibility to the alleged fornicator.
192
00:09:32,607 --> 00:09:35,440
- Really bad.
- We already lost a V.P. In a sex scandal.
193
00:09:35,607 --> 00:09:38,326
I feel like I'm handing out towels
at the Playboy Mansion.
194
00:09:38,487 --> 00:09:40,239
- It's not your fault.
- Oh, really, now?
195
00:09:40,407 --> 00:09:42,045
- Open the door.
- What?
196
00:09:42,207 --> 00:09:43,606
Open the door.
197
00:09:48,287 --> 00:09:50,164
- Did you take an awkward pill?
- What?
198
00:09:50,327 --> 00:09:51,965
I'm always like this.
199
00:09:52,847 --> 00:09:54,360
Thank you.
200
00:09:58,047 --> 00:10:00,038
Briefer Boy, I caught you on C-SPAN.
201
00:10:00,207 --> 00:10:01,640
You look real cute in makeup.
202
00:10:01,807 --> 00:10:03,445
Withering sarcasm. I love it.
203
00:10:03,607 --> 00:10:07,043
Those are some brutal briefings.
Looks like some medieval wonk-baiting.
204
00:10:07,207 --> 00:10:08,845
Support me in public. All I ask.
205
00:10:09,007 --> 00:10:12,682
We were talking about how many
Cabinet members you want on the trail.
206
00:10:12,847 --> 00:10:16,157
Since I'm in town, thought I'd nail down
the president's availability...
207
00:10:16,327 --> 00:10:19,000
...for the campaign.
I'm back at 4 to work out a calendar.
208
00:10:19,167 --> 00:10:20,600
We're gonna need people left...
209
00:10:20,767 --> 00:10:22,485
...to run the country.
- I don't care.
210
00:10:22,647 --> 00:10:24,956
We're gonna do everything we can
to support you.
211
00:10:25,127 --> 00:10:28,802
I talked to the president. He's fine
doing the address on deficit reduction.
212
00:10:28,967 --> 00:10:31,800
I'm assuming you're gonna
keep slamming Vinick on his tax cut?
213
00:10:31,967 --> 00:10:33,241
- Yeah.
- What else?
214
00:10:33,407 --> 00:10:34,681
Looking at the polling:
215
00:10:34,847 --> 00:10:38,237
Santos does better where people think
the country's moving forward.
216
00:10:38,407 --> 00:10:40,602
Don't do anything
you wouldn't be doing anyway.
217
00:10:40,767 --> 00:10:44,396
Whatever you have in terms of research
grants, infrastructure initiatives...
218
00:10:44,567 --> 00:10:47,764
...it's a waste to piddle it out
in some Commerce press release.
219
00:10:47,927 --> 00:10:50,760
Let's highlight it, have the secretary
show up, create sizzle.
220
00:10:50,927 --> 00:10:54,283
We've got business loans, light rail stuff
coming. We'll keep you posted.
221
00:10:54,447 --> 00:10:55,800
- Whatever you got.
- Easy.
222
00:10:55,967 --> 00:10:57,446
- I want it all.
- You'll have it.
223
00:10:57,607 --> 00:10:59,404
- I also want something big.
- Like?
224
00:10:59,567 --> 00:11:02,684
The Molecular Transport Lab.
The biotech-chemical-genome thing.
225
00:11:02,847 --> 00:11:04,121
- What about it?
- Be nice...
226
00:11:04,287 --> 00:11:05,925
...to make the announcement
in Texas.
227
00:11:06,087 --> 00:11:08,396
You didn't want us doing
anything we weren't doing.
228
00:11:08,567 --> 00:11:10,319
I want you to move
the announcement up.
229
00:11:10,487 --> 00:11:12,557
It would be huge.
Could make the difference.
230
00:11:12,727 --> 00:11:14,240
The location hasn't been decided.
231
00:11:14,407 --> 00:11:16,477
It's working through the review process.
232
00:11:16,647 --> 00:11:17,921
- That's not what I hear.
- No?
233
00:11:18,087 --> 00:11:20,840
No, it's going to Austin.
All $2 billion worth. I gotta go.
234
00:11:21,007 --> 00:11:22,804
I'll be back at 4 for Cabinet Affairs.
235
00:11:22,967 --> 00:11:25,083
You should check that out.
236
00:11:28,007 --> 00:11:29,759
How does he know
we made the decision?
237
00:11:29,927 --> 00:11:31,565
Maybe he doesn't.
Maybe it's a rumor.
238
00:11:31,727 --> 00:11:34,321
Maybe it's wishful thinking,
he's trying to jam it home.
239
00:11:34,487 --> 00:11:37,001
If we announce that
a $2 billion research investment...
240
00:11:37,167 --> 00:11:39,078
...is going to Texas
before the election...
241
00:11:39,247 --> 00:11:41,636
...the senator from Kentucky
is gonna blow a gasket.
242
00:11:41,807 --> 00:11:44,605
Good way to make a statesman
look like an ineffectual fool.
243
00:11:44,767 --> 00:11:46,280
French ambassador's in the Mural.
244
00:11:46,447 --> 00:11:47,880
- I gave him a beverage.
- Thanks.
245
00:11:48,047 --> 00:11:51,244
- Where'd you leave it with the senator?
- He knows it's going to Texas.
246
00:11:51,407 --> 00:11:52,635
He's fighting for his life.
247
00:11:52,807 --> 00:11:54,718
His constituents don't like his politics.
248
00:11:54,887 --> 00:11:58,084
- Schwing with the purse is all he's got.
- He didn't promise anything.
249
00:11:58,247 --> 00:12:00,841
All he's asking is we hold off
until after the election.
250
00:12:01,007 --> 00:12:03,316
- What'd you tell him?
- I told him we'd hold off.
251
00:12:03,487 --> 00:12:05,921
We're not risking a Senate seat.
252
00:12:06,647 --> 00:12:08,126
- You're doing it again.
- What?
253
00:12:08,287 --> 00:12:10,642
- Standing there in front of me.
- We were talking.
254
00:12:10,807 --> 00:12:13,446
That's over. See what you can find out
about the nanny.
255
00:12:13,607 --> 00:12:16,883
- I don't understand how I'm supposed...
- Walk away from me now.
256
00:12:18,447 --> 00:12:21,917
So proud to serve
in these hallowed halls.
257
00:12:22,367 --> 00:12:25,518
We are very concerned
about the reports out of the Sudan.
258
00:12:25,687 --> 00:12:29,396
The attacks on the Internally
Displaced People's camps in Darfur.
259
00:12:29,567 --> 00:12:30,841
Yes, it's awful.
260
00:12:31,007 --> 00:12:32,804
We would like to turn off the spigot...
261
00:12:32,967 --> 00:12:35,162
...that's supporting
the government in Khartoum.
262
00:12:35,327 --> 00:12:38,125
No reason not to expect
more mass killings and displacements.
263
00:12:38,287 --> 00:12:41,757
As you know, the European community
has formally condemned this activity.
264
00:12:41,927 --> 00:12:44,760
Yes, and as you know,
the perpetrators do not care.
265
00:12:44,927 --> 00:12:48,363
Our students have launched
a very effective divestiture campaign.
266
00:12:48,527 --> 00:12:49,801
Which we admire.
267
00:12:49,967 --> 00:12:53,198
We believe you have the domestic
constituency to support bold action.
268
00:12:53,367 --> 00:12:54,402
Yes, that's true.
269
00:12:54,567 --> 00:12:57,479
We may be willing to support
reopening your arms sales to China.
270
00:12:57,647 --> 00:12:59,444
- In exchange for what?
- A resolution...
271
00:12:59,607 --> 00:13:02,724
...sanctioning oil revenues to Khartoum.
- The Chinese will veto it.
272
00:13:02,887 --> 00:13:04,684
- They might.
- Yeah, they will.
273
00:13:04,847 --> 00:13:06,326
Look, if it was up to me...
274
00:13:06,487 --> 00:13:10,036
...NATO troops would have been
on the ground in the Sudan years ago.
275
00:13:10,207 --> 00:13:12,641
Are you offering troops
to a NATO peacekeeping effort?
276
00:13:12,807 --> 00:13:16,959
The African Union troops are clearly
doing their best to protect the camps.
277
00:13:17,127 --> 00:13:19,721
- There's been improvement there.
- People are still dying.
278
00:13:19,887 --> 00:13:21,764
Now, I know it's not a solution.
279
00:13:21,927 --> 00:13:25,556
But I believe an African problem
will require an African solution.
280
00:13:25,727 --> 00:13:28,400
We would prefer an African solution,
but it's not working.
281
00:13:28,567 --> 00:13:32,003
But you have to ask yourself, C.J.,
how did we get here?
282
00:13:32,367 --> 00:13:34,642
We saw it coming.
283
00:13:34,807 --> 00:13:36,081
We did.
284
00:13:36,247 --> 00:13:37,760
Perhaps a murderous government...
285
00:13:37,927 --> 00:13:41,158
...with intelligence on international
Islamic terrorist organizations...
286
00:13:41,327 --> 00:13:44,524
Could provide the United States
with crucial information. Absolutely.
287
00:13:44,687 --> 00:13:45,961
Perfectly understandable.
288
00:13:46,127 --> 00:13:49,005
But when we push things
to the side...
289
00:13:49,167 --> 00:13:51,203
...often they come back to haunt us.
290
00:13:51,367 --> 00:13:54,245
- We all make calculation, Jacques.
- And your investors...
291
00:13:54,407 --> 00:13:57,001
...who continue to trade shares
of the multinationals...
292
00:13:57,167 --> 00:14:00,876
...who do business with these killers
on the New York Stock Exchange...
293
00:14:01,047 --> 00:14:03,197
That's another calculation, yes.
294
00:14:03,367 --> 00:14:06,086
- Plenty of hypocrisy to go around.
- Sure, sure.
295
00:14:06,247 --> 00:14:09,557
Unfortunately, C.J., we cannot afford
to introduce a resolution...
296
00:14:09,727 --> 00:14:12,446
...so obviously aimed at the Chinese.
297
00:14:12,607 --> 00:14:17,476
You are so fond of calling yourselves
the leaders of the free world.
298
00:14:18,007 --> 00:14:21,443
So lead.
299
00:14:32,167 --> 00:14:33,998
- What do you got?
- Nothing.
300
00:14:34,167 --> 00:14:35,759
- He didn't do it?
- I didn't get...
301
00:14:35,927 --> 00:14:37,838
- I told you to...
- Casually call people...
302
00:14:38,007 --> 00:14:41,443
...and ask if they think the president's
son-in-law's committing adultery?
303
00:14:41,607 --> 00:14:43,165
You have to be more artful.
304
00:14:43,327 --> 00:14:46,399
There's no art in finding out
if somebody slept with someone else.
305
00:14:46,567 --> 00:14:49,365
- You ask straight out or you don't.
- Didn't say it'd be easy.
306
00:14:49,527 --> 00:14:51,040
The segue hasn't been invented...
307
00:14:51,207 --> 00:14:53,596
...that takes us from weather
to hammering the nanny.
308
00:14:53,767 --> 00:14:56,440
- You have nothing.
- Found out it's cold in New Hampshire.
309
00:14:56,607 --> 00:14:58,916
- You're useless.
- The Westin's 26-year-old nanny...
310
00:14:59,087 --> 00:15:02,363
...of three years was let go in August
and is now traveling in Europe.
311
00:15:02,527 --> 00:15:05,963
There do seem to be a lot of reporters
focusing on Doug, digging around.
312
00:15:06,127 --> 00:15:08,516
- That doesn't mean...
- Sheila Jacobs, Danny Concanon...
313
00:15:08,687 --> 00:15:09,961
Danny Concanon, yeah.
314
00:15:10,127 --> 00:15:12,197
They're all talking to people
about Doug.
315
00:15:12,367 --> 00:15:13,641
Non-politicos.
316
00:15:13,807 --> 00:15:18,358
I pulled this picture of the whole family
at a butter festival off the Internet.
317
00:15:18,527 --> 00:15:21,917
That's the nanny right there,
which makes me think he did it.
318
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:24,317
- Just look at her.
- What's that supposed to mean?
319
00:15:24,487 --> 00:15:26,637
- I'm saying...
- I see your mouth. Saying what?
320
00:15:26,807 --> 00:15:28,160
She's cute, he likely did it.
321
00:15:28,327 --> 00:15:31,160
- They have children.
- Be stupid to have a nanny if you didn't.
322
00:15:31,327 --> 00:15:34,524
Especially one like that.
If you're interested in male perspective.
323
00:15:34,687 --> 00:15:36,439
It raises the level of the discussion.
324
00:15:36,607 --> 00:15:39,644
Can I give you advice
before you ask me to leave my office?
325
00:15:39,807 --> 00:15:41,525
I don't know where you're going...
326
00:15:41,687 --> 00:15:43,803
- Protecting the president.
- Right, whatever.
327
00:15:44,127 --> 00:15:46,243
This much I do know.
There's one thing worse...
328
00:15:46,407 --> 00:15:49,399
...than telling the president
his son-in-law's having an affair.
329
00:15:49,567 --> 00:15:52,286
Telling the president
his son-in-law's having an affair...
330
00:15:52,447 --> 00:15:54,039
...then finding out you were wrong.
331
00:16:02,767 --> 00:16:04,883
- Danny.
- I know you're working on this story...
332
00:16:05,047 --> 00:16:07,356
...but right now
I'm concerned with the president.
333
00:16:07,527 --> 00:16:11,236
I don't wanna walk your gauntlet of
journalistic ethics, so I'll make this easy.
334
00:16:11,407 --> 00:16:15,525
I'm gonna say a sentence and if it's true,
you just don't say anything. Clear?
335
00:16:15,687 --> 00:16:16,676
Don't say anything.
336
00:16:16,847 --> 00:16:19,042
If you don't say anything,
what I said was true.
337
00:16:19,847 --> 00:16:21,121
- Okay.
- Got it?
338
00:16:21,287 --> 00:16:22,959
- Isn't that risky?
- What do you mean?
339
00:16:23,127 --> 00:16:25,960
What if you say something not true
and my cell phone cuts out?
340
00:16:26,127 --> 00:16:28,357
- It's not gonna happen.
- I got on an elevator.
341
00:16:28,527 --> 00:16:31,599
- Well, get off now, mister!
- Hang on! Whoa, sorry.
342
00:16:32,607 --> 00:16:34,677
- You okay?
- I'm fine, fine.
343
00:16:37,807 --> 00:16:39,399
- C.J.?
- What the...?
344
00:16:39,567 --> 00:16:42,525
I'm holding the fish now.
345
00:16:42,927 --> 00:16:45,361
- C.J.? Hello?
- You want your privacy, don't you?
346
00:16:45,527 --> 00:16:47,358
- I really do.
- Claudia Jean?
347
00:16:47,727 --> 00:16:50,764
Steve Laussen from
Refugee Rights Alliance is out here.
348
00:16:50,927 --> 00:16:53,361
- Give me a minute.
- I'll do that.
349
00:16:55,167 --> 00:16:58,079
C.J.? You okay?
350
00:16:58,767 --> 00:17:00,644
- You there?
- Yeah. You okay?
351
00:17:00,807 --> 00:17:02,525
- I almost killed my fish.
- On purpose?
352
00:17:02,687 --> 00:17:04,996
- Why would I do that?
- You've been under pressure.
353
00:17:05,167 --> 00:17:06,919
- Listen up...
- I'll tell you anything...
354
00:17:07,087 --> 00:17:08,805
...if you have dinner with me.
- What?
355
00:17:08,967 --> 00:17:10,923
See if we can get through an appetizer.
356
00:17:11,087 --> 00:17:12,884
- Okay.
- Same place?
357
00:17:13,047 --> 00:17:14,366
- Sure.
- Great. Shoot.
358
00:17:14,527 --> 00:17:16,802
If I went to the president
with the information...
359
00:17:16,967 --> 00:17:18,400
...would I be making a mistake?
360
00:17:18,727 --> 00:17:20,922
No. See you tomorrow night.
361
00:17:29,887 --> 00:17:31,559
Steve. Come in.
362
00:17:31,727 --> 00:17:33,240
- It's good to see you.
- Thank you.
363
00:17:33,407 --> 00:17:36,240
- Glad we could make this happen.
- Me too.
364
00:17:36,727 --> 00:17:38,319
Have a seat.
365
00:17:39,087 --> 00:17:41,282
You're aware of the situation
in the Sudan?
366
00:17:41,447 --> 00:17:42,721
The attacks on the camps?
367
00:17:42,887 --> 00:17:45,117
Janjaweed backed
by government helicopters.
368
00:17:45,287 --> 00:17:47,482
- Right.
- Has there been any official response...
369
00:17:47,647 --> 00:17:49,956
...from this administration?
- We condemned it.
370
00:17:50,127 --> 00:17:53,085
What do you wanna hear, C.J.,
the numbers or the horror stories?
371
00:17:53,247 --> 00:17:56,000
- Neither.
- I'll run down the talking points quick.
372
00:17:56,247 --> 00:17:58,363
Three million displaced,
400,000 dead.
373
00:17:58,527 --> 00:18:01,166
Children forced to watch
mothers raped and fathers killed.
374
00:18:01,327 --> 00:18:03,602
Current death toll per month: 6000.
375
00:18:03,767 --> 00:18:07,237
If humanitarian organizations are forced
to withdraw: 100,000 per month.
376
00:18:07,407 --> 00:18:08,840
- Steve?
- I have photographs.
377
00:18:09,007 --> 00:18:11,202
I don't need to see photographs.
378
00:18:12,367 --> 00:18:14,961
When babies die, mothers
don't know how to put them down.
379
00:18:15,127 --> 00:18:16,685
So they carry them around.
380
00:18:17,607 --> 00:18:19,086
On this planet.
381
00:18:19,607 --> 00:18:21,040
On your watch.
382
00:18:21,567 --> 00:18:23,637
Yeah.
383
00:18:23,807 --> 00:18:27,117
Remember the monk who lit himself
on fire to protest the war?
384
00:18:27,287 --> 00:18:28,959
I used to think that guy was nuts.
385
00:18:29,127 --> 00:18:31,436
- Now it seems the logical response.
- Won't help.
386
00:18:31,607 --> 00:18:35,361
We need strong preemptive action,
led by the Bartlet administration.
387
00:18:35,527 --> 00:18:37,279
Overwhelming American
military might...
388
00:18:37,447 --> 00:18:39,483
...followed by a decade
of nation-building...
389
00:18:39,647 --> 00:18:42,002
...where many consider us infidels...
390
00:18:42,167 --> 00:18:44,158
...so that we might bring forth
a democracy?
391
00:18:44,327 --> 00:18:45,806
Of course not. Come on, C.J.
392
00:18:45,967 --> 00:18:48,435
When did it become naive
to try to end genocide?
393
00:18:48,607 --> 00:18:51,838
We're monitoring the situation carefully.
Steve, you don't need...
394
00:18:52,007 --> 00:18:54,441
- I need my government...
- The president is aware...
395
00:18:54,607 --> 00:18:56,245
...to assert its moral authority.
396
00:18:56,407 --> 00:18:57,965
Okay.
397
00:19:03,007 --> 00:19:06,204
- I want five minutes with the president.
- This was your five minutes.
398
00:19:06,367 --> 00:19:09,006
I'm sorry, Steve,
I'm late for a meeting.
399
00:19:17,287 --> 00:19:19,357
You've got the German ambassador
in the Mural.
400
00:19:19,527 --> 00:19:22,166
Great. Doug Westin's in town.
I need to see him tonight.
401
00:19:22,327 --> 00:19:23,680
- I'll track him down.
- Alone.
402
00:19:23,847 --> 00:19:25,678
- Alone?
- Alone.
403
00:19:31,567 --> 00:19:33,842
- I smell bacon.
- Hello, Josh.
404
00:19:34,007 --> 00:19:36,316
A heaping helping
of sizzling Federal pork butt.
405
00:19:36,487 --> 00:19:38,717
- I can't talk now.
- Perfect for a Texas barbecue.
406
00:19:38,887 --> 00:19:40,161
I have a meeting.
407
00:19:40,327 --> 00:19:43,239
I finished up with Cabinet Affairs.
Thought you might have news.
408
00:19:43,407 --> 00:19:44,886
- I don't.
- It would be helpful...
409
00:19:45,047 --> 00:19:48,483
...to make the announcement in Texas.
- We haven't decided yet.
410
00:19:48,647 --> 00:19:52,117
When the EPA did the
environmental-impact study in Kentucky...
411
00:19:52,287 --> 00:19:54,881
...they concluded it had to go to Texas.
- Really, now?
412
00:19:55,047 --> 00:19:56,480
Yeah, I have the data.
413
00:19:56,647 --> 00:20:00,003
The University of Texas has everything
in terms of research coordination.
414
00:20:00,167 --> 00:20:01,885
You know this.
You're playing with me.
415
00:20:02,047 --> 00:20:05,005
- I'm not. We haven't made a decision.
- You have bad information.
416
00:20:05,167 --> 00:20:07,283
I feel pretty confident
about my information...
417
00:20:07,447 --> 00:20:09,438
...since I actually work here
and you don't.
418
00:20:09,607 --> 00:20:11,086
And now I have a meeting.
419
00:20:11,247 --> 00:20:13,158
The president needs
to fly down to Texas...
420
00:20:13,327 --> 00:20:16,046
...stand next to the congressman
and make the announcement.
421
00:20:16,207 --> 00:20:18,562
- That's not gonna happen.
- It's gonna come out.
422
00:20:18,727 --> 00:20:20,718
You can't keep this information quiet.
423
00:20:20,887 --> 00:20:23,481
You want the president
to be a part of the story or not?
424
00:20:23,647 --> 00:20:25,319
Think about it. I'm around.
425
00:20:27,767 --> 00:20:31,043
- Please, have a seat.
- What can I do for you, C.J.?
426
00:20:31,207 --> 00:20:34,517
We've been monitoring
these developments in the Sudan.
427
00:20:34,687 --> 00:20:35,961
Disturbing. Tragic.
428
00:20:36,127 --> 00:20:38,163
As long as oil revenues
flow into Khartoum...
429
00:20:38,327 --> 00:20:40,795
...the humanitarian situation
will deteriorate.
430
00:20:40,967 --> 00:20:42,605
Germany has completed a large deal.
431
00:20:42,767 --> 00:20:46,123
- One of our companies is building...
- Diesel-electric plant. We are aware.
432
00:20:46,287 --> 00:20:48,847
Good. I want to be
honest with you. Good.
433
00:20:49,047 --> 00:20:51,845
We are looking for a U.N. Resolution.
434
00:20:52,007 --> 00:20:53,440
- From who?
- From you.
435
00:20:54,207 --> 00:20:56,038
- The Chinese will veto.
- They might.
436
00:20:56,207 --> 00:20:59,165
One hundred percent they will.
One hundred percent.
437
00:20:59,327 --> 00:21:01,795
- This is something the president needs.
- Yes.
438
00:21:01,967 --> 00:21:04,242
You already made
the same request of the French.
439
00:21:05,247 --> 00:21:07,283
We talk often. We have a union now.
440
00:21:08,007 --> 00:21:10,316
If you want this resolution,
why don't you make it?
441
00:21:10,487 --> 00:21:13,877
We are doing everything we can
to avoid World War III in Kazakhstan.
442
00:21:14,047 --> 00:21:16,242
At the same time,
we'd like to do what we can...
443
00:21:16,407 --> 00:21:19,205
...to prevent an unnecessary
and massive loss of human life.
444
00:21:19,367 --> 00:21:21,085
Then focus on humanitarian needs.
445
00:21:21,247 --> 00:21:24,956
If we start mixing human rights with
oil exports, we'll all be riding bicycles.
446
00:21:25,127 --> 00:21:29,040
The European Union declared what was
happening to be tantamount to genocide.
447
00:21:29,207 --> 00:21:31,163
Tantamount, yes.
Overwhelmingly.
448
00:21:32,167 --> 00:21:34,727
In exchange for your introduction
of a new resolution...
449
00:21:34,887 --> 00:21:37,640
...we will drop our opposition
to your arms sales to China.
450
00:21:37,807 --> 00:21:41,038
And, of course, we can assure you
of a sympathetic hearing...
451
00:21:41,207 --> 00:21:43,323
...at the next round
of trade negotiations.
452
00:21:44,967 --> 00:21:46,958
There may be another
construction project...
453
00:21:47,127 --> 00:21:50,085
...in conjunction with
the diesel-electric plant in Khartoum.
454
00:21:50,247 --> 00:21:52,886
It will be grandfathered
into the sanctions.
455
00:21:53,487 --> 00:21:55,205
Well, then how can I refuse you?
456
00:21:55,367 --> 00:21:56,846
You're very persuasive.
457
00:21:57,007 --> 00:21:59,646
Thank you, Mr. Ambassador.
The president will be thrilled.
458
00:21:59,807 --> 00:22:02,958
- How will you avoid a veto from China?
- You said it yourself, Franz.
459
00:22:03,127 --> 00:22:05,880
- Yeah?
- I can be very persuasive.
460
00:22:09,847 --> 00:22:12,486
We are now at the point
where the research disciplines...
461
00:22:12,647 --> 00:22:14,842
... can no longer afford to function
separately.
462
00:22:15,007 --> 00:22:16,838
Our understanding
of our natural world...
463
00:22:17,007 --> 00:22:19,316
... is beginning to inform
our technological future.
464
00:22:19,487 --> 00:22:21,239
And our understanding
of technology...
465
00:22:21,407 --> 00:22:24,479
... stands on the verge
of revolutionizing our ability...
466
00:22:24,647 --> 00:22:28,196
... to detect and treat
a countless number of illnesses.
467
00:22:28,367 --> 00:22:29,880
That's why federal investments...
468
00:22:30,047 --> 00:22:34,245
... like the proposed Molecular
Transport Lab are so important.
469
00:22:34,407 --> 00:22:37,319
There's about to be a biotech explosion.
Let me tell you this:
470
00:22:37,487 --> 00:22:39,284
I've looked closely at this project.
471
00:22:39,447 --> 00:22:41,642
I believe that
in the next couple of days...
472
00:22:41,807 --> 00:22:44,924
... we're gonna be hearing good news
for the great city of Austin...
473
00:22:45,087 --> 00:22:47,362
- ... and the great state of Texas.
- Son of a bitch!
474
00:22:47,527 --> 00:22:49,279
Dial Josh now.
475
00:22:49,447 --> 00:22:51,597
Son of a bitch.
476
00:22:53,607 --> 00:22:56,485
- You got him?
- On two.
477
00:22:57,567 --> 00:22:58,886
- Hello.
- Hey, what's up?
478
00:22:59,047 --> 00:23:00,719
I hate it when I make myself clear.
479
00:23:00,887 --> 00:23:02,957
- Wait.
- And I'm not received.
480
00:23:03,127 --> 00:23:04,685
It's a done deal, C.J.
481
00:23:04,847 --> 00:23:06,166
This is not your call.
482
00:23:06,327 --> 00:23:09,205
He didn't announce it.
He said Austin was the most viable site.
483
00:23:09,367 --> 00:23:11,358
- He didn't make...
- Don't make distinctions.
484
00:23:11,527 --> 00:23:13,404
I've known you too long.
Way too long.
485
00:23:13,567 --> 00:23:16,206
I understand Calvin Bowles' Senate seat
is a priority.
486
00:23:16,367 --> 00:23:17,595
- Calvin Bowles...
- You know.
487
00:23:17,767 --> 00:23:20,076
Pious old pork hog
who votes like a schizophrenic.
488
00:23:20,247 --> 00:23:22,442
You done? Calvin Bowles
is a breathing Democrat.
489
00:23:22,607 --> 00:23:23,596
That's debatable.
490
00:23:23,767 --> 00:23:26,156
We cannot afford to lose
any more of those right now.
491
00:23:26,327 --> 00:23:28,966
Where does holding
onto the White House fit in?
492
00:23:29,127 --> 00:23:30,845
I'm sorry. Doug Westin is here.
493
00:23:31,007 --> 00:23:32,645
Tell him I'll be right there.
494
00:23:32,807 --> 00:23:35,196
Listen up, Josh.
I work for Jed Bartlet.
495
00:23:35,367 --> 00:23:39,440
I wouldn't be doing my job if I wasn't
trying to preserve his legacy.
496
00:23:39,607 --> 00:23:42,246
The announcement's off the table
until after the election.
497
00:23:42,407 --> 00:23:43,681
Is that clear?
498
00:23:43,847 --> 00:23:47,157
- Now, if you'll excuse me...
- C.J., C.J., listen to me.
499
00:23:47,327 --> 00:23:48,919
You wanna cover all eventualities?
500
00:23:49,087 --> 00:23:51,237
Have the president join us in Texas...
501
00:23:51,407 --> 00:23:53,443
...then he and Santos
will fly to Kentucky...
502
00:23:53,607 --> 00:23:56,201
...to stump for Senator Bowles.
Your problems are solved.
503
00:23:56,367 --> 00:23:58,358
I have to go now.
504
00:24:08,327 --> 00:24:10,636
- Come in, Doug.
- C.J., how you doing?
505
00:24:10,807 --> 00:24:12,126
I'm just great.
506
00:24:12,287 --> 00:24:14,847
Know what I'm gonna do
when they declare me the winner?
507
00:24:15,007 --> 00:24:18,204
- What are you gonna do, Doug?
- I'm gonna ask for a recount.
508
00:24:19,047 --> 00:24:21,277
That's not my line, but I love it.
509
00:24:21,447 --> 00:24:22,766
- It's great, isn't it?
- Yeah.
510
00:24:22,927 --> 00:24:25,805
I am so jazzed about this event
with the president next week.
511
00:24:25,967 --> 00:24:27,400
We are gonna win this thing.
512
00:24:27,567 --> 00:24:30,240
I've never felt so strongly about anything
in my life.
513
00:24:30,407 --> 00:24:32,159
But until that last vote is counted...
514
00:24:32,327 --> 00:24:35,637
...I operate under the assumption
I'm gonna lose. Nothing for granted.
515
00:24:35,847 --> 00:24:37,326
I mean, look who I'm talking to.
516
00:24:37,487 --> 00:24:39,796
You know exactly
what I'm going through.
517
00:24:42,847 --> 00:24:46,157
Don't say it. Do not tell me
the president needs to go to Zurich...
518
00:24:46,327 --> 00:24:48,124
...to work on this Kazakhstan thing.
519
00:24:48,287 --> 00:24:51,040
- No, he doesn't.
- Good.
520
00:24:51,207 --> 00:24:52,879
I don't care what you do privately.
521
00:24:53,887 --> 00:24:55,525
- Okay.
- I really don't.
522
00:24:55,847 --> 00:24:57,405
- I'm a...
- When you do something...
523
00:24:57,567 --> 00:24:59,797
...that hurts my boss's ability
to do his job...
524
00:24:59,967 --> 00:25:02,401
...that could embarrass him
on a political trip...
525
00:25:02,567 --> 00:25:06,242
...and will take attention away from
urgent national and international issues...
526
00:25:06,407 --> 00:25:07,886
...I begin to care very deeply.
527
00:25:08,047 --> 00:25:10,242
I'm trying to get
the Chinese ambassador here...
528
00:25:10,407 --> 00:25:12,637
...to put an end to unimaginable
human suffering.
529
00:25:12,807 --> 00:25:16,356
If you have a problem with your zipper,
get it out of my face right now.
530
00:25:16,527 --> 00:25:18,438
Do you understand me?
531
00:25:20,167 --> 00:25:22,158
- I think I do.
- I think you do too.
532
00:25:23,447 --> 00:25:24,721
Yeah.
533
00:25:26,087 --> 00:25:28,282
- Chinese ambassador in the Mural.
- Thanks.
534
00:25:30,567 --> 00:25:31,841
Here's what's gonna happen:
535
00:25:32,007 --> 00:25:34,646
You're gonna walk
to the Office of Political Affairs.
536
00:25:34,807 --> 00:25:38,322
Tell the people that you don't want to be
overshadowed by your father-in-law.
537
00:25:38,687 --> 00:25:41,326
You want to win this thing yourself,
on your own merits...
538
00:25:41,487 --> 00:25:44,479
...and thanks, but no, thanks,
you're withdrawing your request...
539
00:25:44,647 --> 00:25:48,196
...to have the president with you
in Manchester. Do that for me, will you?
540
00:25:50,607 --> 00:25:52,245
That'd be great.
541
00:25:56,287 --> 00:25:58,482
It is an irresponsible moment
for the Germans...
542
00:25:58,647 --> 00:26:00,478
...to propose sanctions on the Sudan.
543
00:26:00,647 --> 00:26:03,320
Two nuclear powers are mobilized.
544
00:26:03,487 --> 00:26:05,921
We have troops massed
on both borders of Kazakhstan.
545
00:26:06,087 --> 00:26:07,679
We're standing on the edge of the...
546
00:26:07,847 --> 00:26:09,565
I agree, the timing is odd.
547
00:26:09,727 --> 00:26:11,399
- It is not appreciated.
- Yeah.
548
00:26:11,567 --> 00:26:13,000
And stupid.
549
00:26:13,167 --> 00:26:16,603
These Europeans, they're always
pretending to have a significance...
550
00:26:16,767 --> 00:26:18,200
...they no longer possess.
551
00:26:18,367 --> 00:26:20,801
I have spoken to them.
I'd like to make a proposal.
552
00:26:21,767 --> 00:26:23,041
- What?
- You're interested...
553
00:26:23,207 --> 00:26:25,004
...in arms from the French
and Germans.
554
00:26:25,287 --> 00:26:26,766
We're interested in all markets.
555
00:26:26,927 --> 00:26:29,122
There have been no sales
since Tiananmen.
556
00:26:29,287 --> 00:26:31,676
Israel, other countries
have done business with us.
557
00:26:31,847 --> 00:26:34,805
The French and Germans told us
they'd like to sell to you again.
558
00:26:34,967 --> 00:26:37,276
They should.
It's a meaningless restriction.
559
00:26:37,447 --> 00:26:38,846
They are simply losing money.
560
00:26:39,007 --> 00:26:40,998
- We objected strongly.
- I was there.
561
00:26:41,447 --> 00:26:44,325
- There may be some latitude now.
- With the arms sales?
562
00:26:44,487 --> 00:26:45,681
Yes.
563
00:26:46,527 --> 00:26:50,645
It will be difficult to justify closing off
such a significant source of oil.
564
00:26:51,327 --> 00:26:52,726
We're thirsty.
565
00:26:52,887 --> 00:26:54,366
We're trying to grow an economy.
566
00:26:54,527 --> 00:26:57,087
We're gonna make sure your oil supply
is preserved.
567
00:26:57,407 --> 00:26:59,921
You can show yourselves
to be responsible members...
568
00:27:00,087 --> 00:27:01,361
...of the world community...
569
00:27:01,527 --> 00:27:03,916
...with a simple abstention
on the German resolution.
570
00:27:04,247 --> 00:27:07,319
It will allow us to put American
election monitors on the ground...
571
00:27:07,487 --> 00:27:09,762
...to ensure a fair vote there.
572
00:27:10,447 --> 00:27:13,086
- That's it?
- That's a lot.
573
00:27:14,647 --> 00:27:17,719
I will disappear
into my massive bureaucracy...
574
00:27:17,887 --> 00:27:20,401
...and see what I can do.
- You're funny.
575
00:27:21,087 --> 00:27:23,237
Thank you, ambassador.
576
00:27:26,007 --> 00:27:29,079
You know what I think about a lot...
577
00:27:29,247 --> 00:27:32,045
...when I'm having
these kind of discussions?
578
00:27:32,207 --> 00:27:33,481
What, sir?
579
00:27:33,647 --> 00:27:36,525
Capitalism vanquished Communism.
580
00:27:36,687 --> 00:27:38,040
Obliterated it.
581
00:27:38,207 --> 00:27:40,084
And here we are having a discussion...
582
00:27:40,247 --> 00:27:43,205
...where you are trying
to restrict our markets.
583
00:27:43,367 --> 00:27:46,803
We're trying to address
a humanitarian situation in the Sudan.
584
00:27:46,967 --> 00:27:48,241
Exactly.
585
00:27:48,407 --> 00:27:49,886
But you have always taught us...
586
00:27:50,047 --> 00:27:52,766
...that liberty is the same thing
as capitalism.
587
00:27:52,927 --> 00:27:56,203
As if life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness...
588
00:27:56,367 --> 00:27:57,880
...cannot be crushed by greed.
589
00:27:58,047 --> 00:28:02,484
Your American dream is financial,
not ethical.
590
00:28:07,407 --> 00:28:09,238
This is a good deal for the Chinese.
591
00:28:09,407 --> 00:28:11,398
I hope you'll consider it carefully.
592
00:28:11,807 --> 00:28:14,002
- Of course.
- Thank you.
593
00:28:14,167 --> 00:28:17,398
No, thank you.
You have taught us well.
594
00:28:34,207 --> 00:28:37,040
The president needs you in the Oval,
and I have a yogurt here.
595
00:28:37,207 --> 00:28:40,165
- What for?
- To eat.
596
00:28:40,327 --> 00:28:42,318
- He's in there?
- Yeah.
597
00:28:43,167 --> 00:28:45,806
And he's grumpy.
598
00:28:46,687 --> 00:28:48,678
Come in.
599
00:28:49,807 --> 00:28:51,445
How you doing, kid?
600
00:28:51,607 --> 00:28:53,837
- Very good, sir.
- Glad to hear it.
601
00:28:54,007 --> 00:28:57,477
Teddy Barrow just called from State.
What's going on with the Sudan thing?
602
00:28:57,647 --> 00:28:59,319
I'm working on a resolution.
603
00:28:59,487 --> 00:29:02,320
- Sanctioning oil revenues.
- To be introduced by the Germans.
604
00:29:02,487 --> 00:29:04,318
- Vetoed by the Chinese.
- Not necessarily.
605
00:29:04,487 --> 00:29:05,476
- Probably.
- Could be.
606
00:29:05,647 --> 00:29:08,115
I am trying to defuse
a nuclear standoff.
607
00:29:08,287 --> 00:29:11,120
Why would we want to antagonize
the Chinese right now?
608
00:29:11,287 --> 00:29:13,437
We're not.
This is coming from the Germans.
609
00:29:13,607 --> 00:29:15,518
You don't think they'll figure it out?
610
00:29:15,687 --> 00:29:17,757
We owe these people $350 billion.
611
00:29:17,927 --> 00:29:20,122
- They're not stupid.
- We're out of time.
612
00:29:24,327 --> 00:29:27,239
We've all been hypnotized
by the complexity of this thing:
613
00:29:27,407 --> 00:29:31,844
The E.U., the U.N., State.
This isn't a solution, but it's a start.
614
00:29:32,007 --> 00:29:35,477
I can't have anything compromising
our neutrality in Kazakhstan.
615
00:29:35,647 --> 00:29:37,285
This won't. As far as China knows...
616
00:29:37,447 --> 00:29:39,677
...this is Europe
holding their feet to the fire.
617
00:29:39,847 --> 00:29:42,407
We're the ones brokering the deal.
China would owe us.
618
00:29:42,567 --> 00:29:45,206
This could even help us in Kazakhstan.
619
00:29:50,167 --> 00:29:51,919
Is this about the Sudan...
620
00:29:52,087 --> 00:29:55,363
...or the fact that we're all about
to get kicked out of this building?
621
00:29:59,687 --> 00:30:04,363
When the babies die,
the mothers carry them around for days.
622
00:30:05,207 --> 00:30:07,641
They can't put them down.
623
00:30:11,527 --> 00:30:13,358
Yeah.
624
00:30:15,087 --> 00:30:18,284
- Keep working the resolution.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
625
00:30:18,447 --> 00:30:20,836
Why is Matt Santos
stomping on what's left...
626
00:30:21,007 --> 00:30:23,885
...of my goodwill up on the Hill?
- The transport lab.
627
00:30:24,047 --> 00:30:26,800
I got an irate phone call
from the senator from Kentucky.
628
00:30:26,967 --> 00:30:29,276
I think he was irate.
He didn't have his teeth in.
629
00:30:29,447 --> 00:30:31,199
I'm not sure what
he was talking about.
630
00:30:31,407 --> 00:30:33,523
The Santos campaign
got polling telling them...
631
00:30:33,687 --> 00:30:36,076
...a federal investment in Austin
could help win Texas.
632
00:30:36,447 --> 00:30:38,005
Which is why I think we should...
633
00:30:38,167 --> 00:30:41,079
...send you to Austin to announce
the transport lab with Santos.
634
00:30:41,247 --> 00:30:43,681
Then we send you both to Kentucky
to stump for Bowles.
635
00:30:43,847 --> 00:30:46,759
- When's that gonna happen?
- Thursday.
636
00:30:46,927 --> 00:30:50,522
Doug Westin withdrew his request
for you to campaign with him.
637
00:30:50,687 --> 00:30:52,359
Why'd he do that?
638
00:30:52,527 --> 00:30:54,518
I think he wants to prove
he's his own man.
639
00:30:54,687 --> 00:30:57,884
- By losing?
- Lf that's what it takes.
640
00:30:58,967 --> 00:31:01,527
Liz is gonna kill him.
641
00:31:01,687 --> 00:31:03,245
Doug just changed his mind?
642
00:31:06,487 --> 00:31:08,398
Was there anything else?
643
00:31:12,087 --> 00:31:14,999
No, sir. Thank you, Mr. President.
644
00:31:22,527 --> 00:31:24,483
When do you get an answer
from the Chinese?
645
00:31:24,647 --> 00:31:26,319
I should know over the weekend.
646
00:31:26,487 --> 00:31:27,840
- It's worth a shot.
- Yeah.
647
00:31:28,007 --> 00:31:30,840
Hey, come here a sec.
648
00:31:34,087 --> 00:31:36,237
- What's up?
- I need to tell you something.
649
00:31:36,407 --> 00:31:38,363
You all right?
650
00:31:38,527 --> 00:31:41,087
- Doug Westin.
- Yes?
651
00:31:41,567 --> 00:31:44,479
Doug Westin had an affair
with his nanny.
652
00:31:45,447 --> 00:31:49,076
- Get out.
- It might break, it might not.
653
00:31:49,247 --> 00:31:50,566
- Is she cute?
- Who cares if...?
654
00:31:50,727 --> 00:31:52,877
I spent my life surrounded
by men in uniform.
655
00:31:53,327 --> 00:31:55,557
Biology kicks virtue's ass,
in my experience.
656
00:31:55,727 --> 00:31:57,524
She's 26.
657
00:31:57,687 --> 00:32:01,475
Okay, so she doesn't have to be cute.
That's disgusting.
658
00:32:01,647 --> 00:32:02,796
- Yeah.
- He should die.
659
00:32:02,967 --> 00:32:05,117
The bastard should just be dead.
660
00:32:05,287 --> 00:32:07,323
- Did Liz leave him?
- I don't think she knows.
661
00:32:07,487 --> 00:32:10,285
Sic Special Ops on him.
Make him a tragedy she can cry over.
662
00:32:10,487 --> 00:32:14,400
I made him withdraw his request
to appear with the president next week.
663
00:32:14,567 --> 00:32:15,682
You're telling me because...
664
00:32:15,847 --> 00:32:17,599
- I don't know if I should...
- Tell her?
665
00:32:17,767 --> 00:32:20,406
No. Now's the time
everybody looks at her funny...
666
00:32:20,567 --> 00:32:22,319
...till she figures it out.
- I know.
667
00:32:22,487 --> 00:32:24,478
I just don't know
if I owe the president...
668
00:32:24,647 --> 00:32:27,445
Sorry. Liz Westin's in your office.
She needs to talk to you.
669
00:32:29,567 --> 00:32:31,239
Good luck.
670
00:32:32,007 --> 00:32:33,281
Okay.
671
00:32:48,007 --> 00:32:50,805
- Hi, Liz.
- C.J. Hi.
672
00:32:50,967 --> 00:32:53,162
I'm sorry to barge in on you.
Are you busy?
673
00:32:53,327 --> 00:32:56,444
You know, thermonuclear war,
genocide.
674
00:32:56,607 --> 00:32:59,519
- I don't mean to bother you.
- It's fine. It's good to see you.
675
00:32:59,687 --> 00:33:00,961
Have you seen Doug?
676
00:33:02,127 --> 00:33:06,086
- He was here yesterday, right?
- He marched into Political Affairs...
677
00:33:06,247 --> 00:33:09,045
...and told them he didn't want
my father to do the event.
678
00:33:09,207 --> 00:33:10,606
- I heard.
- I can't believe it.
679
00:33:10,767 --> 00:33:14,646
Do you know how long it took me
to convince him to let my father help?
680
00:33:14,807 --> 00:33:17,924
It was important to be his own man.
To win or lose on his own.
681
00:33:18,087 --> 00:33:22,126
His father-in-law is the president.
It's a fact. He can't run away from that.
682
00:33:22,287 --> 00:33:24,801
It's gotta be hard
to try and live up to the president.
683
00:33:24,967 --> 00:33:26,764
- You can't.
- No.
684
00:33:26,927 --> 00:33:30,124
He is the father of my children,
and I want them to look up to him.
685
00:33:30,287 --> 00:33:33,996
- Sure.
- No matter what he's done.
686
00:33:36,687 --> 00:33:38,917
Do you understand
what I'm saying, C.J.?
687
00:33:40,367 --> 00:33:43,564
- I think I do.
- I think you do too.
688
00:33:45,847 --> 00:33:47,997
Talk to him.
Tell him it's political suicide...
689
00:33:48,167 --> 00:33:51,045
...to run away from Dad.
- You're trying to do what's best.
690
00:33:51,207 --> 00:33:52,959
Marriage is complicated, C.J.
691
00:33:53,127 --> 00:33:55,846
This isn't ideal,
but it's the best thing for my children.
692
00:33:56,007 --> 00:33:57,406
- I understand.
- Good.
693
00:33:57,567 --> 00:34:00,206
But my job is to protect your father.
694
00:34:00,367 --> 00:34:03,120
My father would want
to protect my children too.
695
00:34:03,287 --> 00:34:05,755
I'm sorry, Liz.
We've given the date away.
696
00:34:06,287 --> 00:34:09,085
- Already? You can't have.
- It's gone.
697
00:34:11,807 --> 00:34:15,197
So on his own merits.
698
00:34:15,367 --> 00:34:17,403
We let the voters decide?
699
00:34:17,567 --> 00:34:19,444
I think it's best.
700
00:34:22,007 --> 00:34:23,645
Yeah.
701
00:34:30,447 --> 00:34:33,041
I need some Schedule C's
willing to take unpaid leave...
702
00:34:33,207 --> 00:34:36,279
...and hit the road with the candidate.
- I'll put together a list.
703
00:34:36,447 --> 00:34:38,563
The least-humiliating
public speakers possible.
704
00:34:39,767 --> 00:34:41,837
I've cleared the president
to fly to Austin...
705
00:34:42,007 --> 00:34:45,238
...to announce that it will be the home
of the Molecular Transport Lab.
706
00:34:45,407 --> 00:34:48,046
He'll then fly to Kentucky
to campaign for Senator Bowles.
707
00:34:48,207 --> 00:34:50,641
Would Congressman Santos
like to join him?
708
00:34:50,807 --> 00:34:53,844
- I'll have to get back to you on that.
- Go to hell.
709
00:34:59,887 --> 00:35:01,718
I'm embarrassed, Tom.
710
00:35:01,887 --> 00:35:05,641
I'm embarrassed my country is content
to let other countries take the lead...
711
00:35:05,807 --> 00:35:08,640
... when it comes to
the key moral question of our time.
712
00:35:08,807 --> 00:35:10,445
Half a million dead.
713
00:35:10,607 --> 00:35:13,485
And at what number
do we say "enough"?
714
00:35:13,647 --> 00:35:16,366
We've called it what it is.
It is genocide.
715
00:35:16,527 --> 00:35:18,961
This is an unprecedented moment
in American history...
716
00:35:19,127 --> 00:35:21,197
... where we have
acknowledged that system...
717
00:35:21,367 --> 00:35:23,323
U.N. Delegation just notified State.
718
00:35:23,487 --> 00:35:27,321
There's a Security Council negotiation
on language for a Sudan resolution.
719
00:35:27,487 --> 00:35:29,523
- Where are the Chinese?
- They're in the room.
720
00:35:29,687 --> 00:35:31,643
- Threatening to veto?
- Not out of hand, no.
721
00:35:32,207 --> 00:35:34,562
- They're talking?
- They are.
722
00:35:35,327 --> 00:35:37,921
- It's a start.
- Yeah.
723
00:35:38,087 --> 00:35:40,647
- You wanna get some food?
- I can't. I have a date.
724
00:35:40,807 --> 00:35:44,083
- You do not.
- What? I have a date.
725
00:35:44,247 --> 00:35:46,238
- With whom?
- A guy I used to go out with.
726
00:35:46,407 --> 00:35:48,204
- I'll walk out with you.
- You go ahead.
727
00:35:48,367 --> 00:35:50,597
I need to talk to the president.
728
00:35:50,967 --> 00:35:53,765
The Doug story's gonna break.
It's gonna be terrible for him.
729
00:35:53,927 --> 00:35:55,918
I want him to hear it from me.
730
00:35:56,087 --> 00:35:57,361
- He's ready.
- Okay.
731
00:35:57,527 --> 00:35:59,040
- See you tomorrow.
- Yeah.
732
00:36:23,687 --> 00:36:26,201
Men are like salmon.
Swimming upstream...
733
00:36:26,367 --> 00:36:29,086
...hosing down the riverbed
with their indiscriminate seed.
734
00:36:29,247 --> 00:36:31,522
- Indiscriminate seed?
- Until they die...
735
00:36:31,687 --> 00:36:33,723
...bloated and spent,
belly-up in the sun.
736
00:36:33,887 --> 00:36:35,240
Quit sweet-talking me, baby.
737
00:36:35,407 --> 00:36:38,524
Unless they get taken out
by a bear paw in the waterfall.
738
00:36:38,687 --> 00:36:41,838
- You're struggling with trust issues?
- I'm struggling with reality.
739
00:36:42,007 --> 00:36:43,759
- What's your dessert policy?
- What?
740
00:36:43,927 --> 00:36:45,883
- Want me to spare you the monologue?
- I do.
741
00:36:46,047 --> 00:36:48,197
I figured.
I'll get you some more water.
742
00:36:48,367 --> 00:36:51,803
Oh, gee, I'm sorry.
I'll shut up and leave now.
743
00:36:54,727 --> 00:36:57,321
- She hates my guts.
- Yeah, she does a little bit.
744
00:36:57,847 --> 00:36:59,644
I'm sorry about the other night.
745
00:37:00,407 --> 00:37:02,523
- Why?
- Because I was behaving like...
746
00:37:02,687 --> 00:37:06,236
...the kind of type-A career woman,
freak automaton...
747
00:37:06,407 --> 00:37:08,762
...that I so very much
do not want to become.
748
00:37:08,927 --> 00:37:10,883
- Please.
- I wanted to see you.
749
00:37:11,647 --> 00:37:16,801
And I haven't felt that in a long time.
I just got awkward and antagonistic.
750
00:37:16,967 --> 00:37:19,037
As long as you didn't kill our fish.
751
00:37:19,207 --> 00:37:21,767
I don't want to see you
until after the inauguration.
752
00:37:21,927 --> 00:37:23,838
- You don't have to.
- I want to do my job.
753
00:37:24,007 --> 00:37:26,885
I want to suck every morsel of meat
off this experience.
754
00:37:27,047 --> 00:37:29,845
- Just get something done.
- Comes down to what it always does.
755
00:37:30,007 --> 00:37:32,282
- What's that?
- How dirty do my feet have to get...
756
00:37:32,447 --> 00:37:34,199
...without disappearing in the mud...
757
00:37:34,367 --> 00:37:36,403
...to get an inch
of what I really want done?
758
00:37:36,567 --> 00:37:39,604
- Doesn't sound very heroic.
- It's not.
759
00:37:40,367 --> 00:37:44,360
So, what's the deal? You still
creeped out by reporters, or what?
760
00:37:44,527 --> 00:37:46,643
Why? You got another
unholy bomb to drop on me?
761
00:37:46,807 --> 00:37:50,083
- That's what these dates are about?
- It was an attempt at a real date.
762
00:37:50,247 --> 00:37:52,044
- And this?
- It's another attempt.
763
00:37:52,207 --> 00:37:55,836
If I'd wanted to publish that story,
I wouldn't have given you the heads-up.
764
00:37:57,407 --> 00:38:00,399
I can't write that kind of crap anymore.
765
00:38:01,007 --> 00:38:02,440
I don't...
766
00:38:02,767 --> 00:38:05,156
I don't know if I want to be a reporter
anymore.
767
00:38:05,327 --> 00:38:06,965
- Really?
- Doug Westin's libido...
768
00:38:07,127 --> 00:38:08,480
...broke the camel's back.
769
00:38:08,647 --> 00:38:11,286
- What do you wanna do?
- I don't know.
770
00:38:12,527 --> 00:38:15,246
- Can I ask you something?
- Yeah.
771
00:38:16,647 --> 00:38:18,285
Why'd you come here tonight?
772
00:38:18,647 --> 00:38:20,638
Because you made me promise to.
773
00:38:21,087 --> 00:38:22,964
Why'd you come?
774
00:38:25,887 --> 00:38:28,162
I wanted to see you.
775
00:38:32,767 --> 00:38:34,325
Yeah.
776
00:38:35,887 --> 00:38:38,003
- Thank you.
- You gonna do a magic trick?
777
00:38:38,847 --> 00:38:40,678
I'm flying a little blind, here.
778
00:38:41,847 --> 00:38:44,486
I'm halfway through my life,
and I'm never sure...
779
00:38:44,647 --> 00:38:47,207
...if I'm doing anything right
until I'm done...
780
00:38:47,367 --> 00:38:49,198
...doing it wrong.
- Work with it.
781
00:38:49,367 --> 00:38:51,961
- So this may not come out right.
- I forgive you.
782
00:38:52,447 --> 00:38:57,475
And incrementalism is not an option.
I'm forced into a heroic posture.
783
00:38:57,647 --> 00:39:00,036
- Heroic can be good.
- Feels funny.
784
00:39:00,207 --> 00:39:03,563
- You can do it.
- Okay.
785
00:39:04,767 --> 00:39:08,282
We're both about to fall off a cliff.
786
00:39:10,407 --> 00:39:13,843
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
with the rest of my life...
787
00:39:14,007 --> 00:39:16,157
...except I know
what I don't wanna do.
788
00:39:16,887 --> 00:39:19,162
On Inauguration Day,
you're gonna be released...
789
00:39:19,327 --> 00:39:22,285
...from that glorious prison
on Pennsylvania Avenue with...
790
00:39:22,447 --> 00:39:24,244
- No human skills?
- Seems to me.
791
00:39:24,407 --> 00:39:27,479
- I should punch you in the face.
- That's what I'm talking about.
792
00:39:27,647 --> 00:39:32,675
- Keep going.
- So if I'm gonna jump off the cliff...
793
00:39:33,207 --> 00:39:35,846
...and you're gonna get
pushed off the cliff...
794
00:39:38,047 --> 00:39:40,800
...why don't we hold hands
on the way down?
795
00:39:49,607 --> 00:39:51,245
- Oh, shoot.
- Oh, turn it off.
796
00:39:51,407 --> 00:39:54,126
- I can't yet.
- Just for a couple of seconds.
797
00:39:54,287 --> 00:39:55,879
- Oh, my God.
- You okay?
798
00:39:56,047 --> 00:40:00,598
- Oh, my God. I have to go.
- Okay. No, no. Go, go.
799
00:40:06,687 --> 00:40:09,042
I'll see you later.
800
00:40:10,767 --> 00:40:12,280
I'll see you later.
801
00:40:26,447 --> 00:40:28,563
What's happening?
Did the Chinese invade?
802
00:40:28,727 --> 00:40:30,319
- Kazakhstan is stable.
- What is it?
803
00:40:30,487 --> 00:40:32,443
- A nuclear accident.
- Oh, Lord. A weapon?
804
00:40:32,607 --> 00:40:34,245
- A power plant.
- Is it Russia?
805
00:40:34,407 --> 00:40:37,797
San Andreo, California.
They think it might blow up.
806
00:41:20,047 --> 00:41:22,038
