Previously on The West Wing:

So, Charlie, what it is you do,

is you sort the mail
for Zoey's father.

Yeah, I guess.

And you don't like me very much

because I'm with Zoey now.

Jean Paul,
I'm kind of working here.

I'm going to France
for three months.
When?

After graduation.
I think it's a
great thing to do.

I just don't know why
you're doing it with him.

Mr. Vice President,

have you been having an
affair with Helen Baldwin

while here at
the White House?

Yes.

John, if we're going
to weather this...

We're not going
to weather this.

We will.
We won't.

Yeah, we're going to need
a new Vice President.

( no volume )

( knocks )

Josh?
Yeah?

The President
wants to know

if we still have
the vetting files
from five years ago.

For Vice President
you mean?

Yeah. You crossed
off McKenna?

For health.

Ryan Lyndell?

Yeah, I'm a fan of Lyndell,
so is the President,

but the Speaker's not,

and this guy
has to get confirmed.

Too much of moonshot
for the Speaker?

He's got an Asian garden

in the back of his house
where he meditates.

Asian garden?

Asian garden,
I know what the...

A note fell out of
my wallet yesterday,

and I couldn't
remember what it...

"5/7, 10:00 p.m.
Paeonia Japonica/Bamboo."

Both of which

one would find
in an Asian garden.

Next to each other
at the Arboretum.

I wrote this note
three and half years ago,

right after Zoey started school.

We buried, like, a $14 bottle
of champagne,

and decided we'd dig it up
and drink it

right after she graduated.

You buried the champagne
at the Arboretum?

Between the Paeonia Japonica
and the bamboo.

How do you get away with digging
up the National Arboretum?

Oh, well, you got
to do it at night.

Today's 5/7.

I know.

You got to get
the bottle back.

No.
You do.

No, I'm done.
I gave it a shot.

She said no.
She said it clearly.

You should dig it up.
It's a good idea.

She's going to
France tomorrow
with Tartuffe.

I'm going to eat
the 14 bucks.

No, I mean, as a friend.

You give it to her as
a graduation present.

You give it to her at one
of the parties tonight.

That way she goes off without
thinking you're mad at her.

I am mad at her.

Yeah, but it's
not really her fault,

and she's going away
for a while.

And... anyway, I don't know

what I'm talking about.
Let me ask you something.

Just between you and me...

and... I'm not looking
for this particular

promotion, but...

just between
you and me...

what would you think
about this choice?

You got the vetting file?

See you later.

abandoned in Sacramento.

How were they able
to rent a van?

Sir, I'm joining those

who are recommending
Threat Condition Bravo.

I think at the very least

we have to increase
security at the airports

and the seaports.

"A torrential downpour
in the Pacific Northwest."

Yes, sir.

"A torrential downpour."

Yes.

And they're just missing?

Yes, sir.
The five of them,

they're just missing?
Yes, sir.

We're going to work on that?

Yes, sir.

Threat Con Bravo.

( knocks on table )

Find them.

Threat Con Bravo.

Leo and I will be back.

Hey, Donna, the First Lady
wanted you know

that Mary and Fred Wellington
are back on the trip

so we need
to deal with that.

Alright.

Yeah.

You know Josh came
by this morning

to show me a list of six
possible nominees,

and I thought it was
a very good list.

And I said, "Wow, well,
this is a windfall."

And... he got very quiet,

and it occurred to
me after he left

that he may have
thought I meant

that it's great that
the Vice President
had to resign

'cause now we get
one of these guys.

Did he happen to mention
anything about that?

No.

I didn't mean it was good

the Vice President
had to resign.

I'll tell Josh
about the Wellingtons.

Okay.

C.J.:
Good morning.

Good morning.

Big day.
Yes.

Are you nervous?

How do you know about this?

The house?
Yeah.

Not because you told me.

That's right.

WILL:
Hey...

Hey. Hey.

I'm glad he's finally asking
for help with this speech.

It's not going to be
about commencement.
Why not?

'Cause he's not going
to call the four of us in

Saturday morning at 8:00 to work
on a commencement speech.

Aren't you nervous
you haven't seen it?

I'm choosing to be nervous
about other things today.

Oh, hey, that's
right, big day.

Is he talking
about the house?

It's romantic.

They know about the house!

Did you tell them?

No. Did you?

It's a bold,
romantic gesture.

I spread it around,
got you some good will.

I think I turned some people
around on you.

You can go in.

LEO:
Go ahead and sit down.

He's going to be a second.

How you doing?

Good.

What is it, two weeks?

In ten days, we can pick
a day on the calendar

and they'll induce.

You can pick a day?
Yeah.

That's great, so you can
do it on a Friday,

let the kids get
their feet wet
over the weekend. Yeah.

Let me tell you something...
you know what I'd do?

I'd check into
the hospital today.

You can't do it too soon.

Mallory was very nearly born

at Exit 32 on
the Long Island Expressway.

Thanks.

Yeah, listen, I don't think
this is going to come

as a galloping shock
to anyone here, but last May,

I ordered a Special Ops unit
to kill Abdul Shareef,

and that's what they did,
and we made it look like

what got reported.

Anybody need him
to stop?

No, sir.

LEO:
Anybody need
a minute?

No, sir.
No, sir.

There was considerable
evidence presented
to a group

that included Fitzwallace,
Nancy, Berryhill, Babish,

the Attorney General
and a few others.

We gave it to
the gang of eight.

The man had committed crimes
and remained a threat.

For instance,
we stopped him

from blowing up
the Golden Gate Bridge.

Were U.S. laws broken? No.

International law? Possibly.

PRESIDENT:
See, I said

we took Shareef,
and they said fine,

and then you went on talking
for another five, ten minutes.

Mr. President...
Yes?

Why the decision
to tell us this morning?

Well, I just ordered
Threat Con Bravo,

so people are going
to be seeing some

heightened security
this weekend.

What's the threat?

Increased chatter
about torrential rain

in the Pacific Northwest.

It's pouring rain in
the Pacific Northwest.

I'm sure the analysts have
already thought of this,

but, you know,
it is raining

in the Pacific Northwest.

LEO:
For a couple of years

we've been keeping
an eye on

five possible Bahji sleepers
in Central New York.

And last night
they disappeared.

We lost them.

We lost them?

PRESIDENT:
We did.

And we're worried about
retribution for Shareef?

Yes.

Can I ask,
how hard can it be

to keep an eye
on five Qumari

religious fanatics
in Schenectady?

Tell him, sister.

I think you'd
both be surprised.

Anything else?

How'd you get Shareef's
plane to land?

LEO:
Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, hey, Toby, big day.

Big day.
Big day.

The house,
a masterstroke.

Come on, give us a kiss.

Thank you, sir, no.

( chuckling ):
Okay.

Yes?

Well, sir, I have
time today... right now.

I was wondering
if you'd like me to look over

the Georgetown speech?
No, I don't need help.

Yes, sir.
Yeah...

I need help.
Yes, sir,
I'd be happy to.

Why don't you let me
read what you have?

What I have?
Yeah.

Well, it's been said I have

a pleasant speaking voice
and oratorical style.

You don't have anything?
On paper?

Yeah.
No.

It's at 4:00.
Yeah.

We should probably
get started.

Yeah, right away,

I would think.
Yeah.

Except at this minute
I have to go over

and meet the agents
who are being detailed
to Zoey for France.

They speak French.

As well as being
Secret Service agents.

I didn't mean
they speak French

and so therefore are
guarding Zoey in France.

Yeah, I got it, sir.

I have been thinking
that I'd like to talk
about creativity.

Why don't you get
started on some thoughts

and I'll join you.

Yes, sir.

JOSH:
Wesley.

Hey, Josh,
how's it going?

You back?

No, I got to France
tomorrow morning.

I'm leading Bookbag's
paparazzi patrol

for three months.

Really?
Yeah.

It's a bit
of powder-puff detail there,

isn't it, fella?

I go where I'm told.

So, in your training,

what were you taught
to do if, say

a stringer
for Town and Country

were to get in her face?

You know I can
kill you

and just make up
the reason why
I did, right?

( chuckles ):
Oh, yeah.

Hi.

Good morning,
Mr. President.

Are you friends
of Zoey's?

No, sir.
Special Agent Jamie Reed,

U.S. Secret Service.

Molly O'Connor, sir.

Randy Weathers.

Excuse me,
Mr. President.

Hey.

You remember Wesley Davis.

Wes, thanks so much
for doing this.

I know it's not
what you like.

No, sir, I'm flattered
you asked.

So, let's talk
about how this is going to work.

Well, these four agents
will be assigned

to the current
team of 14,

that gets supplemented

by a rotating
backup group from
the Paris office

that's more familiar
with the region.

Wes is the Special
Agent in Charge.

Well, here's my question.

These guys look
pretty young to me,

and I'm looking for
something very specific

with this detail.

This is a father-daughter
situation,

and so I think what
I'm looking for

in terms of protection

would best be characterized
as, well, overwhelming force.

Do they have that?

Do they have
the ability

to just overwhelm any
danger that might...?

Do you have overwh...?

Do they have overwhelming force?

Attack, Randy.

Wow.

Oh, God, Dad,
what are you doing?

This one here tossed Wesley
like a bag of potato chips.

Molly, get off
of Wesley.

You like calling on me
for that one, don't you?

Yep.

You guys know
each other?

Molly was on
Ellie's detail
for a while.

PRESIDENT:
Oh, good. Okay.

Well, Ellie's
still up and running.

Hi, Wes.
Sorry about this.

We're going to be
just fine.

It's wide-perimeter
protection.

I'm just going to need you

to show me your
panic button every day.

When do you start?

1800, sir.
6:00 p.m. tonight.

Are you going back
to the campus?

Yeah.

Okay, well, let me ask you this.

Would you consider

instead of living
in France

with your boyfriend
for three months,

staying here,

living in your room,

and being a candy striper,
or surfing?

A candy striper?

Or surfing?

You could spend the summer
working in a pet shop.

We could play Yahtzee,
and watch movies at night.

Dad, what
fantasy is it

that's going through
your head right now?

What daughters would do
their whole lives

if I had my way.

I'll see you later.

Before I forget,
if something comes up

and you're faced with the choice
of killing the boyfriend

or not killing
the boyfriend,

kill the boyfriend.

Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me.

Thank you,
Mr. President.

How are you doing, Wes?

Well, Mr. Chairman,
thank you.

FITZWALLACE:
You take care
of that new detail now.

They got some mimes
over there

that can be pretty nasty.

Yes, sir.

Harbor Patrol in Portland
is reporting that the Agile,

a cargo ship in port
for 14 hours now,

has a container missing.

They're supposed
to have 46.

They have 45.

What's the registry?

They're flying
a Nigerian flag,

but it's Syrian ownership.

What are we doing
on the ground?

The FBI's hunting down
everyone who was on the ship.

How long have they been at it?

One hour.

Alright,

let's give 'em another hour.

Then have the Coast Guard
close the port.

Is it the Port of Portland?

Is it really the Port
of Portland?

Yeah.

They're going to lose
$700 million a day

'cause these five guys
are missing.

And I just now got why
we're having this meeting.

LEO:
What do you mean?

Portland. Torrential rain
in the Pacific Northwest.

Yeah.

Screw the hour.

Let's close it down.

Yes, sir.
Thanks.

Thank you,
Mr. President.

Hey...

did you know that
ten days from now

Toby and Andy can pick
a day and the doctor's
going to induce.

They can decide
what day

the twins are going
to be born.

Well, it's about the last thing
they're going to get to decide.

So you choose Tuesday.

20 years later,
look what happens.

( shrieks )

( screams )

You scared me!

I was sleeping.

What are you doing
in here?

Hang on a second.
I'm not sure.

Carol!

Sorry. Yes, Danny's here.

Sorry.

Can I help you?

I'm a little groggy.

It's from when
you wake up

after you've
just fallen.

You know, it's one of those
that really takes you

a good long while
to snap out of.

Can I help you?!

You are.

I just flew back from Boston.

Not Boston. Augsburg, Germany.

I just flew back
from Augsburg, Germany.

Danny, you want to go home
for a while

and then talk to me?

No. This, uh,
this is important to you.

I've been on trains
and planes...

What?

I have a link
between the U.S. Government

and Abdul Shareef's plane

and it's enough
and we're going
to print it,

so I'm here to ask
the White House

if they'd like to comment.

We'll comment as soon
as you show me the link.

I have a link. It's the pilot.
It's Jamil Bari.

You've been saying that
from the beginning.

I've got it now.

Well, show it to me

and I'll comment on it.

We don't need a White House
comment to run it.

Well, you're not going
to run it like this.

There are national security
issues involved.

My paper's not going
to hold off on it

unless there are lives
in immediate danger.

There are.

Show me.

Classified security information?

I don't think
I'm allowed to do that.

Then what do we do?

Don't run it.
Not this weekend.

I'm not lying to you
about security concerns.

Except you've been faffing me
around for months.

Of course, I have.

I'm going to give you
a couple of hours

to sit down with Leo
and figure out

what you can tell me
to convince me

I shouldn't print
what I have.

Otherwise, comment on it
or don't comment on it,

but it's the lead

in tomorrow's paper.

And by the way,
that's the brand
of courtesy

you have never
extended me.

I extend you courtesy
all the time.

When?

You just slept
on my couch.

Oh, right.

Alright, you'll give me
a couple of hours.

You know, I got it.

So off the record,
did we kill Shareef?

Alright.
Careful stepping out.

There's a street right there.

And there you go.

If someone see us,

they're going to call
the police.

Well...
( chuckles )

I hadn't actually
factored that into
the plan,

but if you'll just
come on over here.

And...

there you go.

Go ahead.

You brought me to
Jefferson Wyler's house.

Yeah.
Why?

Every time we drive past

you say that
it's your dream house.

It is.

And every time
the Congressman's
had us over,

you've said it was
your dream house.

I wasn't lying.

You told Jeff Wyler
that if he ever put it
on the market,

you wanted
to buy it.
I do.

Well, as it turns out,

he was going to put it
on the market,

but he's not anymore
'cause I bought it.

You bought this house?

Yeah.

You bought this house?

Yeah, I did.

How did you afford it?

Well, I put together
some money for the down payment

by selling my soul.

This is your
house now?

Well, as a matter
of fact, it'll...

( clattering )

...it'll be your house

if... ( clears throat )

if... if you say
yes to this.

Um...

will you marry me?

Oh, Toby, you gotta tell me
you didn't buy the house to...

No, no. I mean...

I thought you were
just moving out
of the apartment

and wanted a...

If we could get back
to the original question.

Can you get
the down payment back?

( snorts )

You're saying no?

Yeah, Toby.

I said no many times.

I mean, this...
is an incredible gesture, but...

I don't think
you've noticed the
things I've done

to alter the behavior
that's troubled you
in the past.

Giving up what you felt
was a bachelor apartment

is only the most recent
of gestures

which included
eating salads.

I have no problem
with where we've lived

or what you ate.

I do, but I don't care
that much.

Then why aren't you
remarrying me?

You don't really want
to talk about this, do you?

Yeah, I do.

I thought you were
just being cute.

I just thought you
were making me chase you

as a punishment
for the first marriage

and that was okay
with me.

I wasn't being cute, no.

Why?

You're just too sad
for me, Toby.

What?

You're too sad for me.

You're just sad.

You bring the sadness
home with you

and you're sad.

I'm not sad.

You are.

I don't know if anything
can change that,

but I can't.

I'm not sad.

I take things seriously.

I take things
seriously, too.

I'm not comparing myself
to anyone. I'm saying...

You're sad and you're angry
and you're not warm.

You take forever
to trust someone.

Well...

My father used to kill
people for a living,

so, generationally,

the Zieglers are
making lots of progress.

I wouldn't worry
about the kids.

I do worry about
the kids.

Don't.

Because instead
of showing them

that the world
is for them,

you're going to be
telling them

that they have
to work hard in school

so they can bone up

for a life of hopelessness
and despair.

Wouldn't it be ironic
if our kids

were the only ones
who were properly
prepared?

Toby, I'm as serious
a person as you are,

and I'm able to see
the glass as half full.

Great! Half full,
half empty?

Can we at least agree
it's not full yet?

Well, this is what
I'm talking about.

That was a joke!
You indicated

that you wanted
to talk about
this seriously.

Did you feel this way
when we were married?

Come on. I...

I mean, it's not
just now?

Come on. I'm...
I'm sorry about all that.

I'm really pregnant.

Please, I take it
all back.

Really?

Hmm.

Did you feel this way
when we were married?

That I was sad?

No.

I'm going to go sit
in the car.

My ankles are starting to...

Did my friends
feel like that?

Toby!

My water broke.

Okay.

Okay.

It's terrific so far.

Later, he quotes Cicero,
Thomas Aquinas

and Rudy Vallee
in the space of two pages.

How does he connect them?

Three people
you've never heard of.

It's about creativity?

Well, he decided that's
what he wanted to talk about.

Now the trick is, he's
got to not change his mind.

Good! You're here!
I want to make some changes.

Jed...
Look at you!

There is no way you have
three adult children.

You like the suit.
I do,

but the neck...
What?

Eh, it seems empty to me.

Attention should
be drawn to it.

Oh...
Nice job

with the, you know,
raising of the kid.

They're beautiful!

They're real, too.
They can cut glass.

That's diamonds
that can cut glass.

Aw, damn it, what
are these, then?

Excuse me, you say
you wanted to make
some changes?

Yeah. Get in the car.
We'll do it on the fly.

Sir...
Get in the car.

What kind of changes
did you have in mind, sir?

Small ones-- instead
of talking about
the internal muse,

I want to talk about
the limits of reason,

and about passion and
intuition in American life.

These are just gorgeous.

You can eat them, too.
They're gumballs.

Coop?
Shoot One,
we're gonna go.

Uh, the limits of reason

and passion and intuition
in American life.

Yes. Let's think.

Here is the pen.

Look...
I've gift-wrapped the pen.

It's a good pen.

You're giving Zoey
a pen.

It's not just a pen.

Does it do
other things?

No. I meant it's
a really good pen.

He's meeting us in
the upper press room.

He said his link
was the pilot?

Yeah. You know
what he has?

Well, Shareef's pilot,
who died in the crash,

was Jamil Bari,
who had a Qumari passport

and is alive and American,
and not named Jamil Bari,

so he could have
any number of things.

Man, the things we can do.

Yeah.

You're giving Zoey a pen?

Yeah.

Does it do anything?

Danny, C.J.'s going
to talk to you for a second,

and then you and I
are going to work together.

Danny?
He's asleep.

What are you
talking about?

He was in Augsburg.
He hasn't slept yet.

LEO:
So here's the national
security threat.

Wake up!
I heard every word
you said.

My covert skills are honed.

Good for you.
Follow me.

We're at Threat Condition Bravo
right now.

Why?
Why?

'Cause five Bahji sleepers
we were watching disappeared.

They disappeared?

Yeah. And it coincides
with increased chatter
we're hearing.

You print
we did this right now,

and I'm worried what
the five guys are going to do.

Three days.

And I get an exclusive
on the sleepers.

Done.
Thank you.

So you found the pilot?
Specials Ops in Florida.

He had an American
passport when he went
to flight school.

In Augsburg.
Yeah.

The things we can do.

Donna, I was just
coming to see you.

I love what
you're wearing.

You, too!

I wasn't able
to talk to Josh yet
about the Wellingtons.

Yeah, you don't need to.

They're off the list again.

That's why I was coming.

Okay, then.
One less thing.

Josh was offended 'cause
I called the list a
windfall, wasn't he?

I'm sure he's not.

I meant the list of
candidates was good.

I didn't mean--
aye, yi, yi.

Why does he take these
things this seriously?

If it bothered him,
he's forgotten it by now.

Like the car that
was supposed to be here.

Well, come in mine.

Andrea...
what are you doing to me?

We got schedules.
We got bookkeepers.

What happened?

Nothing happened.
You're having a baby.

Two of 'em, as
a matter of fact.

But it was supposed
to be ten days.

Yeah, well,
what do you know?

Well, when am I going
into labor?

When are you
going in...?

Andy,

your water broke.

You're having the babies now.

Now, this isn't going
to happen

the way we talked about,
but it is going to happen,

and it's going
to happen right now.

You're at ten centimeters.

Their heads are down,

so there's no reason
to do a C-section.

Oh, hey, Toby.

I'm sorry.
I didn't even see you there.

Is she going to be able
to get the epidural?

No, we're going
to tough it out.

( moans quietly )

And when you say

"right now," what do you mean?

Well, you're going to see

at least one of your kids
in about 15 minutes.

( gasping )

Toby...

( gasping )

I can't believe...

If I would've known
this was going

to happen today,
I never would've...

No, don't.

What... what are
you talking about?

D-Don't worry about it.

No. I know I hurt you
back at the house.

I can't believe
you bought the house, and I...

( cries and sniffles )

( groaning )

( gasping )

Bite my hand when it hurts.

( gasping )

PRESIDENT:
What do you think about using

the Eudora Welty quote
instead of the Gandhi?

WILL:
Well, I think they both work,

but since I wouldn't make
any more changes,

I'd stay with the Gand...

"You must be the
change," is that it?

"You must be the
change you wish to
see in the world."

Sounds too much like
Eastern philosophy.

Well, it was bound to, sir.

'Cause Gandhi
lived in India?

Yeah. Sir, this speech is
about creativity

and in my judgment,
it's a home run.

Now, what it isn't
is a speech

that will convince
Zoey not to go to
France tomorrow.

Well, let's write that one.

WOMAN:
Mr. President?

Yeah.

Are you ready,
Mr. President?

Yeah.

Thanks, Will,
for the help.

Use the Eudora Welty.
It's better.

Thank you!

ANNOUNCER:
And now, ladies and gentlemen,

the President of the
United States, Josiah Barlet,

accompanied by the President
of Georgetown University.

( applause )

( "Pomp and Circumstance"
playing )

I understand you're not
using the Teleprompter.

Yeah, no.

I've got it down
here in this folder,

and on some napkins
in my pockets.

Okay. Listen, are you going
to be alright with that?

Oh, yeah,
I'll be fine.

You know, unless
something comes up.

Uh, like what?

Well, for instance,
I just realized

I don't have access
to my pockets anymore.

But, you know,
what are you going to do?

( applause continues )

( "Pomp and Circumstance"
continues playing )

DONNA:
You're here late.

I can't believe
you're here.

I was going to leave
a note on your desk.

I had a thing canceled,
so I'm catching up.

I just wanted
to let you know,

the Wellingtons--
back on.

For APEC?

Yeah.

Ugh. It's going
to be a problem.

I know, but Human
Rights Watch, Amnesty--

we need their help
three times a week.

Is there a side meeting
they could play a role in?

There might be.
That's a good idea.

You got a few minutes
to work with me?

Yeah.

Charlie?

Yeah.

I need you
to tell me now

that you have some sense
of where we're going

and that we're not,
you know...

spending the night here.

That we're not
making camp.

You were the one
who said dig up
the champagne

and give it
to her tonight.

Yeah, but didn't I almost
immediately take it back?

No, I liked it.
It was a good idea.

Send her off
knowing we're cool.

You sure?
No.

It's pretty dark. Ooh!

( water splashing )

Yeah, we're in a brook now.

Good. I think it
was near a brook.

It's like I'm in 'Nam,
basically.

I'm in a rice paddy.

Yeah, you'd have
done well there.

MAN:
Someone there?

Hello?

Yeah, I'm a
Federal officer.

Is someone there?

Jamie?
Charlie?

What are you
doing here?

P-3, Charlie Young's coming.

You're kidding me.

Josh Lyman.
I'm with him.

I'm going to stay
here, though,

'cause, you know...

You're late.

You're here.

It's 10:07.

I've been here
for seven minutes.

Well, you drove in a sedan.

I had to climb over the wall.

Shouldn't you have allowed
for that?

I didn't think
you were going to be here.

Well, why'd you come?

I was going to dig up
the bottle

and give it to you
as a graduation present.

Why'd you come?

Oh. To drink it.

Oh.

I'm kidding.

I came 'cause I
thought you might, too.

Though I have
been drinking it.

You know there are people
at a party

that a radio station's
throwing.

At that techno place

that looks like
the end of the world.

I think they went

'cause you said
you'd be winding up there.

I didn't come
'cause I thought you'd be here.

I wasn't trying to...

You don't want to have
champagne with me?

No, no. I do.

I do, I just thought
if I should call people

and tell 'em...

You're such a good guy.

You were raised
in horror.

What is it along
the way that made
you a good guy?

I try to eat right.

You know
what's funny is,

when I first
saw the note, I...

We shouldn't do that.

I know.

What's going on?

( laughs ):
Nothing.

Come on.

Don't ask me that now.

I am asking you.

Nothing.

Just, you know,
a lot of things.

Dumb stuff.

Jean Paul wants me
to take a hit of ecstasy

with him tonight.

Okay, but your kids
are going to have gills.

( laughs )

I don't care about that.

I'm, honestly-- I'm-I'm
worried a little

about my father.

My leaving for
three months

isn't exactly going
to do him any favors.

( sighs )

And I'm confused
about you.

Well, I can't advise you
on that.

Why not?

Because I think
this is tonight,

and tomorrow
you're on the Concorde.

I deserved that.

You think we could
just sit here...

and enjoy the
night for a while?

Actually, I...

I think it's a bad time
in a person's life

to stop showing up at...
at places

they say they're going
to show up.

I should go to the party.

Yeah.

NANCY:
Well, the FBI
has got the crew

of the container
ship accounted for.

What are the rules

in questioning
foreign nationals?

I think we can keep them
for up to seven days,

isolation, well-lit room.

What's the well-lit
room for?

Sleep deprivation.

Alright.

Let's go around the
table one last time.

Where are we with this?

What kind of day
has it been?

( techno music playing )

Alright, she's clear.

Hi.

Now is it my turn?

Hi, sorry I'm late.

Yes, where were you?
You've been missed.

I was at the National
Arboretum, if you
can believe that.

As long as
you're here now.

Can we talk for a minute?

Of course.

Alright, station.

I'm on the front door.

Okay.

Molly?

Yes, sir.

I've got 183 cars.

You counted the cars?

Yes, sir.

Okay.

DONNA:
There's a side meeting,
closed to the press,

on agricultural concentration.

AMY:
I was thinking
more in the...

human rights family.

Mm, a group session
on displaced workers.

What about prison labor?

No, but labor
law enforcement,

a joint DOL/USTR session.

Mmm... sold.

There it is.

I'm not going to get an answer

about what I said
to Josh, am I?

It's just eating at me.

I don't know why.

'Cause it's eating at him,

and I don't know why.

Really?

C.J.:
Danny?
DANNY:
Yeah.

What are you doing here?
Why aren't you asleep?

I really don't know.

Well, what are you writing?

A volume of
springtime haiku.

Three days, Daniel.

I'm filing in three days,
I still got to write it.

The President's speech
was good this afternoon,
didn't you think?

You want to comment on
a wire report that says

the President lifted his gown
and groped himself

during the invocation?

Yeah, that was a
troubling moment,

but he had to
get his napkins.

Alright, then
do you want to comment

on a gulf stream
jet flown by...?
Madras research project.

That's what we'll call
it for a few days.

( slow, pulsing music plays )

* You are my angel

* Come from way above...

JEAN PAUL:
Well, three months
is a long time.

Maybe you just come
for a few weeks,

we go to some parties,
and then you decide.

Maybe...

but then I guess
the whole point was to...

was to check out...

Going just for parties
just doesn't seem...

The parties
are at night.

You can't check out
during the day?

I'm sorry. We're having
this conversation,

and I'm just feeling
a little lightheaded.

I had champagne before, and
now I'm mixing it with this.

Well, lightheaded is good.

It's better than
the opposite.

I understand why Josh
may have been offended
by what I said,

even though it was
misinterpreted.

What I don't understand

is that both times
we've spoken about it,

it seemed like
you were, too.

No, I understood
what you were saying.

Josh worked for Hoynes
for a long time.

There was a reason.

He left him.

And if you think
that was easy, you're crazy.

Josh doesn't leave people.

I get that he was
close to Hoynes.

What I don't get...

You have to get Josh.

JOSH:
We scaled the wall,
we didn't hop it.

It was like 30 feet tall.
It was like a castle gate.

We took it.

Buzzards,
wilderness life everywhere.

Someone give me a
SitRep please, anyone.

I don't want to lie to you,
but I... I don't want to...

I'm sorry, I meant...

I don't want to hurt you,

but I shouldn't
lie to you either.

Yes.

( sighs ):
I...

I feel very strange.

You're drunk.

Enjoy it.

His sister died in a fire
while she was baby-sitting him.

She tried to put it out,
he ran outside.

He went off campaigning,
his father died.

He wakes up in a hospital
and discovers

the President's been shot.

He goes through
every day worried

that somebody he likes
is going to die,

and it's going to be
his fault.

What do you think
makes him walk so fast?

Anyway, when you looked
at the list of replacements

and said, "That's a windfall,"
what he heard was

"Thank you, Josh,
you did it again.

More for us."

You said you have to get Josh.

Yeah.

That was...

I didn't mean to say
that you don't...

get him.

You in love with Josh?

Did... you put ecstasy
in my drink?

I put...

a little bit.

I put a half.

( chuckling ):
Wow.

I kind of wish
you hadn't done that.

You're not sick.

This is how you're
supposed to be feeling.

Listen to the music.

Yeah, I'm okay.

I'm going to go to the restroom
and put some water on my face.

DANNY:
I'm going to need the following

five questions answered
to start with.

You want to write these down?

I don't want to
write anything
down right now.

Was Madras research
retaliatory or preemptive?

Were any allies
in the Arab world,

or Israel
for that matter,

notified either
before or after?

How involved were
Congressional leaders,

and how involved will they be
in the next few days?

I don't know,
but the answer

to the last
two questions
will be the same.

Especially in the absence
of executive orders
rendering them legal...

There was an NSC
decision directive.

Does this create a precedent

for future Madras
research projects?

That was four.
What's the fifth?

Does the President or
his national security advisers

fear attempts at retribution?

It's true that you
adapt to the terrain.

Of course
after a little while

I just said
the hell with it,
took my pants off.

Uh, Randy, does it look like
she's thinking about leaving?

Well, she's still
in the restroom.

No, she's not,
I got her right here.

RANDY:
You have her?

No, check that, I'm wrong.

Oh, come on, people,

let's get past
the first day kinks.

I think she's still
in the restroom.

Okay, I want a 20
on Bookbag right now.

I'll go into the restroom.

No, no, keep your distance.

Let her get pissed at me.

Excuse me.

I'm with the
Secret Service.

Do you work here?

Yeah.
Something wrong?

No, no. Would
you mind going

into the ladies'
room for me, please,

and checking to see
if anyone's in there.

Yeah.
Thank you.

P2, Molly,
did she come out back?

Are there people back there?

No.

P2, Molly,
did she come out back?

Are there people out there?

Molly, are you reading this?

Molly?

This is the fire alley?

Yeah.

P2, Molly, what's your position?

Bookbag's been taken.

She's been taken,
and I have an agent down.

We're black. Go to black.

FBI field office has all
98 members of the Agile crew

at Sheridan Federal Prison
for interrogation.

( chuckles )

It's not funny.

Apparently the captain
is scared to death.

His manifest only
says 45 containers.

He swears it's a typo.

Well, if it turns out
we closed the Port of Portland

because of a typo,

it's only going to fuel
Margaret's insanity.

I'm going to go home
for a few hours.

Call me if something happens.

Ron?

We have a situation.

We're up at black,
and procedurally,

the Chief of Staff
is told before...
What happened?

Zoey Bartlet is missing,

and there's a dead
agent at the scene.
