1
00:00:06,675 --> 00:00:08,751
- Previously on The West Wing:
- We need help.
2
00:00:08,927 --> 00:00:11,252
- I'm bringing in Bruno Gianelli.
- It's too early.
3
00:00:11,430 --> 00:00:14,514
- No.
- Sam and Josh aren't gonna like it.
4
00:00:14,683 --> 00:00:17,887
- They'll have to live with it.
- The only races I've ever lost...
5
00:00:18,062 --> 00:00:21,847
...are ones where the candidate didn't
listen or advice didn't get through.
6
00:00:22,025 --> 00:00:25,062
- That won't happen this time.
- It seems your job is to wait...
7
00:00:25,237 --> 00:00:29,484
...until Doug leaves the room and then
say,"What Doug really meant was... ."
8
00:00:29,783 --> 00:00:31,278
How much they pay you for that?
9
00:00:31,452 --> 00:00:34,904
Sometimes it's my job to say it
when he's in the room.
10
00:00:35,081 --> 00:00:38,700
- Mrs. Bartlet, I wanna talk to you...
- Dr. Bartlet.
11
00:00:39,461 --> 00:00:42,415
When did I stop being Dr. Bartlet?
When in the campaign...
12
00:00:42,589 --> 00:00:46,504
...did I decide that women were gonna
like me more if I called myself"Mrs."?
13
00:00:51,766 --> 00:00:56,512
One day, I'll get called to the
Situation Room and it'll be good news.
14
00:00:56,688 --> 00:00:58,598
We'll have discovered
buried treasure.
15
00:00:58,774 --> 00:01:00,933
Or it turns out there's
life on Andromeda...
16
00:01:01,110 --> 00:01:04,444
...and they think we're doing
a good job. When's that day coming?
17
00:01:04,614 --> 00:01:07,022
- When's that gonna happen?
- Settle down.
18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,489
- What do you need?
- The Pac Fleet commander...
19
00:01:09,661 --> 00:01:13,529
...informed us he lost contact with the
USS Portland, a Seawolf class sub.
20
00:01:13,707 --> 00:01:16,163
- What were their orders?
- They were on a close-in.
21
00:01:16,335 --> 00:01:18,873
They were supposed to
report in yesterday at 1400.
22
00:01:19,046 --> 00:01:21,086
They were gonna surface
to periscope depth...
23
00:01:21,257 --> 00:01:23,380
...and download deterrence
intelligence data.
24
00:01:23,551 --> 00:01:25,425
They've gone quiet,
they're a submarine.
25
00:01:25,595 --> 00:01:27,256
- Sure. Maybe.
- But?
26
00:01:27,431 --> 00:01:29,887
They usually call in
and say they're going quiet.
27
00:01:30,059 --> 00:01:32,348
- Other possibilities?
- They've lost power...
28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,972
...and are drifting in hostile waters.
- What hostile waters?
29
00:01:36,149 --> 00:01:39,933
They're in the Yellow Sea, their last
location was 60 miles west of Seoul.
30
00:01:40,112 --> 00:01:43,695
We haven't heard from them
and they're in North Korea?
31
00:01:43,866 --> 00:01:48,195
What do we have ready if we need to
order a massive rescue mission?
32
00:01:48,371 --> 00:01:51,040
We put two DSRVs on alert
from Ballast Point, San Diego.
33
00:01:51,207 --> 00:01:56,035
Two C-141 Starlifters are on alert at
North Island, ready to get a rescue crew.
34
00:01:56,213 --> 00:01:58,918
They'll meet up with Seawolfs
stationed off Japan...
35
00:01:59,091 --> 00:02:02,591
...each carrying 50 Tomahawks.
They practice for this all the time...
36
00:02:02,762 --> 00:02:04,589
...but we shouldn't do it.
- Why not?
37
00:02:05,515 --> 00:02:08,433
- I think they've gone quiet.
- You said they usually call.
38
00:02:08,601 --> 00:02:11,722
- They usually do.
- I've gotta tell the president.
39
00:02:11,897 --> 00:02:14,768
He'll hit the panic button.
If the Portland went quiet...
40
00:02:14,942 --> 00:02:17,896
...somebody's sitting on top of them.
They know what to do.
41
00:02:18,279 --> 00:02:20,236
I'll be back.
44
00:02:32,753 --> 00:02:35,671
- The propellers aren't going.
- Maybe they're saving fuel.
45
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,752
That makes sense. Also, there's a
chance I can get hit getting on or off.
46
00:02:40,929 --> 00:02:42,471
- Excuse me?
- Sir?
47
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,222
You think I'm not tall enough to get
hit by the propellers on Marine One?
48
00:02:46,393 --> 00:02:49,893
Dikembe Mutombo isn't tall enough
to get hit by the propellers.
49
00:02:50,064 --> 00:02:54,525
I duck when I get on that helicopter.
You should too. It's good safety sense.
50
00:02:54,694 --> 00:02:56,402
- Yes, sir.
- They know I wanna leave?
51
00:02:56,571 --> 00:02:58,564
- Yes, sir.
- Filing day, Charlie.
52
00:02:58,740 --> 00:03:02,869
Last to get on the ballot
in New Hampshire. I'm going myself.
53
00:03:03,037 --> 00:03:05,279
- I could send an aide.
- You're going yourself?
54
00:03:05,456 --> 00:03:09,537
- Always have, always will.
- There's nothing left to run for.
55
00:03:09,794 --> 00:03:14,706
Fair enough. Always have, never will.
But I'm going myself. You know why?
56
00:03:14,883 --> 00:03:18,383
- It's a statement about democracy?
- A profound statement about democracy.
57
00:03:18,554 --> 00:03:20,214
- Are you mocking me?
- No, sir.
58
00:03:20,389 --> 00:03:23,307
- That was a crack about my height before?
- No... Yeah, it was.
59
00:03:23,476 --> 00:03:25,718
- You all set to leave?
- I am. I'm going myself.
60
00:03:25,896 --> 00:03:28,565
It's a profound statement
about democracy.
61
00:03:28,732 --> 00:03:31,733
It's not a problem.
I'm up and back in two hours.
62
00:03:31,902 --> 00:03:34,440
It's great and I know
how much you love doing it.
63
00:03:34,614 --> 00:03:37,650
- It's one of my all-time favorite...
- You can't go.
64
00:03:38,868 --> 00:03:40,411
Why not?
65
00:03:40,579 --> 00:03:43,366
This is something that
sounds worse than it is...
66
00:03:43,540 --> 00:03:46,494
...because of your inexperience
with the military.
67
00:03:46,794 --> 00:03:49,285
- What is it?
- Okay.
68
00:03:49,463 --> 00:03:52,500
The USS Portland is a Seawolf-class...
69
00:03:52,675 --> 00:03:55,427
...or big nuclear submarine.
- Yeah.
70
00:03:55,595 --> 00:03:58,087
It has a crew of 137.
71
00:03:58,265 --> 00:04:02,215
It is loaded down with highly classified
intelligence gathering equipment.
72
00:04:02,394 --> 00:04:06,393
- It's in the waters off North Korea.
- Right.
73
00:04:07,150 --> 00:04:10,353
- We don't have it right now.
- What does"we don't have it" mean?
74
00:04:10,528 --> 00:04:14,574
Well, as you know, with our ships,
our boats and our submarines...
75
00:04:14,741 --> 00:04:18,609
...we keep in pretty close touch
with radar, sonar...
76
00:04:18,788 --> 00:04:24,127
...satellites, radio, encrypted messages.
And we don't have the Portland now.
77
00:04:24,294 --> 00:04:26,251
- We don't have it?
- We do not.
78
00:04:26,505 --> 00:04:29,506
- And they're in North Korea?
- Yes. Last we heard.
79
00:04:29,675 --> 00:04:32,462
So we're gonna set up meetings
in the next few hours.
80
00:04:32,636 --> 00:04:35,472
Plus, if anything happens,
I don't like people knowing...
81
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,594
...you were running for election
while the boat was out there.
82
00:04:38,768 --> 00:04:41,057
I think I'll go ahead
and cancel that trip...
83
00:04:41,229 --> 00:04:44,349
...if only to stay and see how this
sounds worse than it really is.
84
00:04:44,525 --> 00:04:48,143
- I'll stick around too.
- I think you will.
85
00:06:07,138 --> 00:06:09,214
- Hey, I'm here.
- I'm glad.
86
00:06:09,391 --> 00:06:12,475
- What's this song about?
- This is"I'm Too Sexy."
87
00:06:12,644 --> 00:06:14,970
- For his shirt he's too sexy.
- Other things too.
88
00:06:15,147 --> 00:06:18,812
- He lists them.
- Well, I think he's feeling good.
89
00:06:18,985 --> 00:06:21,227
- I think he's feeling sexy.
- Too sexy.
90
00:06:22,071 --> 00:06:26,116
I think it's the kind of thing where
someone says,"This is just too good."
91
00:06:26,284 --> 00:06:27,909
- Hyperbole?
- Yeah.
92
00:06:28,537 --> 00:06:31,906
So it's not a problem? It's not a song
about somebody having a problem?
93
00:06:32,082 --> 00:06:34,918
No. He's feeling good,
that's why he's singing.
94
00:06:36,295 --> 00:06:38,621
- You see the wires?
- Not yet, is there anything?
95
00:06:38,798 --> 00:06:42,214
The majority leader was doing
news in Cleveland. They asked him...
96
00:06:42,386 --> 00:06:44,841
...why he wants to be president.
- What did he say?
97
00:06:45,723 --> 00:06:48,130
- I really don't know.
- Wait a second.
98
00:06:48,309 --> 00:06:51,227
- He got the question and he...?
- It was a train wreck.
99
00:06:51,396 --> 00:06:54,065
- I recognized all the words...
- Get me the transcript.
100
00:06:59,404 --> 00:07:00,863
Ten-hut.
101
00:07:01,031 --> 00:07:04,282
Where's the submarine, Nancy?
I don't wanna hear"I don't know."
102
00:07:04,452 --> 00:07:07,239
I wanna hear how many people
are out there looking for it.
103
00:07:07,413 --> 00:07:12,159
- And I thought you were gonna panic.
- I happen to agree with the president...
104
00:07:12,335 --> 00:07:16,499
...who on military matters is smarter...
- Shut up.
105
00:07:16,715 --> 00:07:19,966
- How long can the crew survive?
- We don't know what's going on.
106
00:07:20,136 --> 00:07:21,796
- Want the worst-case scenario?
- Yes.
107
00:07:21,971 --> 00:07:24,047
If they're flooding, it could be hours.
108
00:07:26,643 --> 00:07:28,552
How close are these guys to landfall?
109
00:07:28,729 --> 00:07:31,765
About 4000 yards off the
southern coast of Kaesong in Haeju Bay.
110
00:07:31,941 --> 00:07:33,980
Four thousand yards!
They get that close?
111
00:07:34,151 --> 00:07:38,778
Yes, they set a wiretap on a cable in
North Korea's coastal operations zone.
112
00:07:38,948 --> 00:07:41,356
- Four thousand yards?
- Yeah.
113
00:07:41,534 --> 00:07:43,278
Can they send a distress signal?
114
00:07:43,912 --> 00:07:46,949
They can, but they won't
if they think they'll be detected.
115
00:07:47,124 --> 00:07:49,662
They would wait to send a signal
and risk their lives?
116
00:07:49,835 --> 00:07:52,623
Mr. President, submariners understand
that if they sink...
117
00:07:52,797 --> 00:07:54,790
...it won't be a rescue,
it'll be a recovery.
118
00:07:54,966 --> 00:07:58,252
They measure risk and rewards
not just in terms of their lives...
119
00:07:58,428 --> 00:08:01,264
...but in terms of national interest.
- Well, that's great.
120
00:08:01,432 --> 00:08:04,599
I assess the national interest by
the number of people alive.
121
00:08:05,061 --> 00:08:08,477
You have four hours before I order
the Pacific Fleet into Haeju Bay.
122
00:08:08,815 --> 00:08:11,567
- Thank you, sir.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
123
00:08:13,403 --> 00:08:15,396
We need to weigh in
with somebody at State.
124
00:08:15,572 --> 00:08:18,490
- I agree. Is Peter still recovering?
- Yes.
125
00:08:18,659 --> 00:08:22,242
All right, we'll talk to someone else,
someone we trust. Anybody but...
126
00:08:22,413 --> 00:08:23,908
- Albie Duncan.
- Anybody but him.
127
00:08:24,082 --> 00:08:26,324
No, I'm saying
it's gotta be Albie Duncan.
128
00:08:26,501 --> 00:08:28,410
- He knows what to say.
- So does Peter.
129
00:08:28,587 --> 00:08:32,288
- Peter's recovering from heart surgery.
- Was it serious heart surgery?
130
00:08:32,466 --> 00:08:34,293
We gotta meet with Albie.
131
00:08:34,468 --> 00:08:36,757
He's gonna scold me.
132
00:08:37,263 --> 00:08:40,597
He's been at the State Department
since Truman. He thinks I'm a kid...
133
00:08:40,767 --> 00:08:43,009
...and that he outranks me.
- You'll be fine.
134
00:08:43,186 --> 00:08:46,721
I gotta tell him I lost a submarine.
Can I make something up like, say:
135
00:08:46,899 --> 00:08:50,434
-"What if my friend hypothetically...?"
- We'll meet with him when he's here.
136
00:08:50,611 --> 00:08:53,897
Bring a copy of the Constitution.
I wanna show him I'm not scared.
137
00:08:54,073 --> 00:08:57,324
- Morning.
- Can you devise a campaign strategy...
138
00:08:57,494 --> 00:09:01,278
...that involves beating up Leo?
- Why not?
139
00:09:03,542 --> 00:09:06,080
Okay, let's get started.
Where's Toby?
140
00:09:06,254 --> 00:09:07,878
- He's in the...
- I don't care.
141
00:09:08,047 --> 00:09:11,084
These are direct-mail leaflets.
142
00:09:11,259 --> 00:09:14,130
"Bartlet: Hopelessly Liberal."
143
00:09:14,304 --> 00:09:17,056
"Bartlet: Super-Liberal."
144
00:09:17,224 --> 00:09:21,471
"Bartlet: Liberal, Liberal, Liberal."
145
00:09:21,646 --> 00:09:24,398
- These aren't coming from our side?
- No.
146
00:09:24,607 --> 00:09:26,683
- Wanna run an ad?
- The most dangerous time...
147
00:09:26,901 --> 00:09:29,737
...in an incumbent's campaign
is before there is opposition.
148
00:09:29,905 --> 00:09:33,274
- The hearings are around the corner.
- There's a stealth war going on.
149
00:09:33,450 --> 00:09:36,902
- Leaflets, flyers, phone trees.
- How much is it gonna cost?
150
00:09:37,121 --> 00:09:40,241
One million five for this one.
But in the next three months...
151
00:09:40,416 --> 00:09:44,117
...I'll need eight million
for new ads and air time.
152
00:09:44,296 --> 00:09:46,917
Work up an ad for 60 bucks
and a waffle and we'll talk.
153
00:09:47,091 --> 00:09:49,629
- Sam.
- We need the money in lowa in 9 weeks.
154
00:09:49,802 --> 00:09:51,842
If you don't spend now,
we'll have problems.
155
00:09:52,013 --> 00:09:55,097
- We don't know if there's a challenger.
- If there is, scare him.
156
00:09:55,308 --> 00:09:58,594
The best way to do that isn't
to keep the war chest intact?
157
00:09:58,770 --> 00:10:01,392
- You're talking about hard money.
- Yeah.
158
00:10:01,565 --> 00:10:04,650
I'm talking about hard money.
What are you talking about?
159
00:10:05,945 --> 00:10:08,021
- Excuse me.
- Listen, Toby...
160
00:10:08,197 --> 00:10:10,523
- What does $ 105 million mean to you?
- What?
161
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:14,200
I just got tipped that the new budget
will include $ 105 million...
162
00:10:14,371 --> 00:10:17,954
...for the National Park Service. I can't
remember what that number means.
163
00:10:18,125 --> 00:10:19,785
- I don't know.
- Anybody?
164
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,255
- No.
- Give me a few minutes, I'll be back.
165
00:10:25,049 --> 00:10:27,172
Does $ 105 million
mean anything to you?
166
00:10:27,344 --> 00:10:31,258
- I'm a simple girl, Toby.
- Yes. Yes, you are.
167
00:10:31,431 --> 00:10:35,180
- Bonnie, 105 million?
- My answer hasn't changed.
168
00:10:35,352 --> 00:10:36,681
- Toby.
- C.J.
169
00:10:44,404 --> 00:10:46,029
- What in...?
- He got the question.
170
00:10:46,198 --> 00:10:49,484
The Majority leader, last night,
local news, Cleveland, Ohio.
171
00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:52,827
Cleveland, Ohio. He got the question.
172
00:10:52,997 --> 00:10:54,990
- Which?
- Why do you wanna be president?
173
00:10:55,166 --> 00:10:57,704
- What'd he say?
-"The reason I'd run, were I to run...
174
00:10:57,877 --> 00:11:01,461
...is I have a great belief
in this country and in this people...
175
00:11:01,632 --> 00:11:05,381
...that go into making this country
a nation with the greatest resources...
176
00:11:05,553 --> 00:11:08,720
...and population of people,
educated people."
177
00:11:09,474 --> 00:11:10,802
I'll spread it around.
178
00:11:16,607 --> 00:11:17,935
C.J.?
179
00:11:18,108 --> 00:11:21,442
The new budget will have 105 million
for the National Park Service.
180
00:11:21,612 --> 00:11:24,068
- Does 105 million mean anything to you?
- No.
181
00:11:24,991 --> 00:11:28,859
But it's the same amount as the budget
for the National Endowment for the Arts.
182
00:11:30,914 --> 00:11:33,286
- Get me...
- I'll get her on the phone.
183
00:11:46,765 --> 00:11:49,303
- Why, Dr. Bartlet.
- Don't start with me, Oliver.
184
00:11:49,476 --> 00:11:52,098
- Start what?
- If you give me grief about my ankle...
185
00:11:52,271 --> 00:11:55,438
...do it quickly, so we can
move on with this rectal probe.
186
00:11:55,608 --> 00:11:58,313
- Know why I call you doctor?
- I have a medical license?
187
00:11:58,486 --> 00:12:01,108
You have a medical license.
And when I look at you...
188
00:12:01,281 --> 00:12:02,906
...I think about health.
189
00:12:03,075 --> 00:12:06,195
Goodness, what happened
to your ankle, Dr. Bartlet?
190
00:12:06,871 --> 00:12:10,240
- I broke it. Otherwise, I'd ram it up...
- How did you break it?
191
00:12:10,416 --> 00:12:13,536
It was in the newspapers,
I'm sure you read about it.
192
00:12:13,712 --> 00:12:17,626
- I read Le Monde. Was it in Le Monde?
- I don't know, I don't read Le Monde.
193
00:12:18,175 --> 00:12:22,505
- Pity.
- I was hiking, Oliver. I was hiking.
194
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:26,760
- Are you that much an enemy of nature?
- Nature is to be protected from.
195
00:12:26,935 --> 00:12:30,185
Nature, like a woman,
will seduce you with its sights...
196
00:12:30,355 --> 00:12:33,142
...and its scents and its touch...
197
00:12:33,317 --> 00:12:36,022
...and then it breaks your ankle,
also like a woman.
198
00:12:36,195 --> 00:12:38,816
What the hell kind of dates
are you going on, Oliver?
199
00:12:38,990 --> 00:12:40,532
- I hear you.
- Yeah.
200
00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:45,113
Here's what you should do, and I'm
speaking to you as White House Counsel.
201
00:12:45,288 --> 00:12:48,408
Make a national address
encouraging women not to go hiking...
202
00:12:48,584 --> 00:12:51,371
...or at least not ask me
to go with them.
203
00:12:51,545 --> 00:12:53,953
- Can we work?
- Jonathan Hawkings, Nina Alva...
204
00:12:54,131 --> 00:12:56,836
...Maurice Blustein, Jessica Nording.
They mean anything?
205
00:12:57,010 --> 00:12:59,583
- Where did you get them?
- Democrats on Oversight.
206
00:12:59,763 --> 00:13:01,387
- They're on the witness list?
- Yes.
207
00:13:01,556 --> 00:13:05,424
Those are some of the patients involved
in malpractice suits against me.
208
00:13:05,602 --> 00:13:07,642
How many have there been altogether?
209
00:13:07,855 --> 00:13:12,601
Four were immediately dismissed
as nuisance suits.
210
00:13:12,777 --> 00:13:15,814
I went to court on two and won.
One was settled.
211
00:13:15,989 --> 00:13:18,361
- The life of a doctor.
- From this witness list...
212
00:13:18,533 --> 00:13:21,903
...it is becoming clear what the
president's biggest liability will be.
213
00:13:22,079 --> 00:13:24,570
- What?
- You.
214
00:13:30,397 --> 00:13:32,970
- Tawny.
- Throne, by Rain Billings...
215
00:13:33,150 --> 00:13:36,649
...a photographer from North Dakota
whose work consists of Polaroids...
216
00:13:36,820 --> 00:13:39,490
...of his dysfunctional family
in the bathroom.
217
00:13:39,657 --> 00:13:41,864
One Horse-Two Horse,
by Marc Moloney.
218
00:13:42,035 --> 00:13:46,496
He calls himself an installation artist.
It's two big-screen TVs...
219
00:13:46,665 --> 00:13:50,034
...side by side, one with footage
of stallions running in reverse...
220
00:13:50,210 --> 00:13:54,208
...the other one showing The Godfather.
"Slut" is a one-word poem...
221
00:13:54,382 --> 00:13:56,588
...by Jules Waltz.
It's stamped in scarlet...
222
00:13:56,759 --> 00:13:59,844
...on a piece of 40-by-40 black canvas.
223
00:14:00,555 --> 00:14:04,553
Here's a woman who gets naked,
covers herself in chocolate...
224
00:14:04,726 --> 00:14:09,519
...and sings. Does that appeal to you?
- I am not wild about musicals.
225
00:14:09,690 --> 00:14:13,225
They're all funded by Oakenwood during
his chairmanship of the Endowment.
226
00:14:13,403 --> 00:14:16,321
You're dissolving the Endowment
to give money to Parks?
227
00:14:16,489 --> 00:14:20,073
Hold the Lettuce. Lydia Benedict's
two bacon-cheeseburgers...
228
00:14:20,244 --> 00:14:23,280
...were constructed from burlap
and rottweiler dung.
229
00:14:23,456 --> 00:14:25,698
It's not me,
it's the committee I work for.
230
00:14:25,875 --> 00:14:27,417
Look...
231
00:14:27,669 --> 00:14:30,242
- Excuse me. Hey, Tawny.
- Sam.
232
00:14:30,422 --> 00:14:32,829
- Have you heard of Andrew Hawkins?
- No.
233
00:14:33,008 --> 00:14:35,464
You funded his performance
where he destroyed...
234
00:14:35,636 --> 00:14:38,672
...all his belongings outside
a Starbucks in Haight-Ashbury.
235
00:14:39,181 --> 00:14:42,551
I did that a couple times. I didn't know
there was funding available.
236
00:14:42,727 --> 00:14:45,135
- Can I talk to you a second?
- Yeah.
237
00:14:51,820 --> 00:14:54,775
- What's going on?
- Appropriations wants to eliminate NEA.
238
00:14:54,949 --> 00:14:57,357
- What's going on in there?
- He wants to run ads.
239
00:14:57,535 --> 00:14:59,907
- With what?
- Soft money.
240
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,653
All right, I'll be in when I can.
241
00:15:02,833 --> 00:15:06,997
Oh, hey. You know what?
The NEA, that's 105 million.
242
00:15:07,171 --> 00:15:08,879
Yeah.
243
00:15:10,675 --> 00:15:12,632
Sam, did you hear?
244
00:15:12,802 --> 00:15:16,088
- The majority leader got the question.
- And?
245
00:15:16,264 --> 00:15:19,265
- Get me the transcript.
- We've got an answer, right?
246
00:15:19,434 --> 00:15:22,270
- To what?
- If asked why he wants to be president.
247
00:15:22,438 --> 00:15:25,641
I'm sure we do.
I've gotta get back in there.
248
00:15:28,027 --> 00:15:30,103
Arlene Neiderlander.
249
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,148
The wife of a patient upon whom I
performed a coronary artery bypass graft.
250
00:15:34,326 --> 00:15:37,197
She filed a wrongful-death suit,
claiming he died...
251
00:15:37,371 --> 00:15:39,578
...as a result of complications
due to surgery.
252
00:15:39,749 --> 00:15:42,370
- Did he?
- He developed an infection...
253
00:15:42,877 --> 00:15:46,661
...like two percent of CABG surgeries,
in his case, mediastinitis.
254
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,004
He was 74, diabetic,
and the infection spread to his liver.
255
00:15:51,178 --> 00:15:54,049
New York Superior Court Judge Nguyen
dismissed the case.
256
00:15:54,223 --> 00:15:57,675
Oliver, draw a line for me
from the malpractice suits...
257
00:15:57,852 --> 00:16:00,474
...to the Committee's investigation
of the president.
258
00:16:00,647 --> 00:16:03,601
It's an investigation of you too, Abbey.
259
00:16:04,735 --> 00:16:08,318
You had prescriptions filled in your
name, which you gave to the president.
260
00:16:08,489 --> 00:16:09,948
- But that in itself?
- Hang on.
261
00:16:10,116 --> 00:16:13,567
You're not a medical expert,
you didn't keep records...
262
00:16:13,745 --> 00:16:16,746
...you violated medical practices
in three states.
263
00:16:16,915 --> 00:16:19,121
And most important, you're his wife...
264
00:16:19,292 --> 00:16:21,618
...which is a violation
of the AMA's ethics code.
265
00:16:21,795 --> 00:16:25,129
How is this the purview of House
Government Reform and Oversight?
266
00:16:25,299 --> 00:16:26,758
It's not.
267
00:16:27,718 --> 00:16:32,048
They don't have a criminal case
against the president, do they?
268
00:16:32,265 --> 00:16:35,302
- No.
- But they can develop one against me.
269
00:16:35,519 --> 00:16:38,473
- Yeah.
- And in going after me...
270
00:16:38,647 --> 00:16:40,272
...they can paint the president.
271
00:16:40,524 --> 00:16:44,190
- Sure.
- Distract him from governing.
272
00:16:44,362 --> 00:16:48,526
Distract the public's attention
from the campaign.
273
00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:50,408
Yeah.
274
00:16:56,959 --> 00:16:59,332
It was an infection.
275
00:17:00,421 --> 00:17:02,710
It was a liver infection.
276
00:17:02,882 --> 00:17:06,216
- Should we keep going?
- Yeah.
277
00:17:06,386 --> 00:17:08,759
- You know what we're talking about?
- Sure.
278
00:17:08,931 --> 00:17:12,383
Do you know what we're talking about?
I wanna make sure Connie knows.
279
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,098
I know what we're talking about.
Sam?
280
00:17:15,271 --> 00:17:18,723
- You know what we're talking about?
- We're talking about unlimited...
281
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:21,855
...unregulated money that can be
raised in staggering amounts.
282
00:17:22,029 --> 00:17:28,032
It's not like there's a law that
envisioned soft money. No law bans it.
283
00:17:28,202 --> 00:17:31,406
It's a loophole so big you could
race the America's Cup through it.
284
00:17:31,581 --> 00:17:34,155
How can he oppose it
one year and take it the next?
285
00:17:34,334 --> 00:17:36,825
Where will he be on
campaign-finance reform tomorrow?
286
00:17:37,004 --> 00:17:39,875
Exactly where he is today.
Leading the charge against it.
287
00:17:40,049 --> 00:17:43,465
In the meantime, Congress and the FEC
have been sitting on their hands.
288
00:17:43,636 --> 00:17:48,595
Is that our fault? No. Now Bartlet
should obey a law that doesn't exist?
289
00:17:48,767 --> 00:17:50,676
What's next, imaginary street signs?
290
00:17:51,311 --> 00:17:54,727
Excuse me,
but there's such a thing as... .
291
00:17:55,524 --> 00:17:59,059
- What?
- There's such a thing as... .
292
00:17:59,278 --> 00:18:00,856
What?
293
00:18:03,533 --> 00:18:06,024
Okay, we're gonna
sit quietly for a moment.
294
00:18:06,203 --> 00:18:07,827
Okay.
295
00:18:08,872 --> 00:18:12,491
Leadership by example. There's
such a thing as leadership by example.
296
00:18:12,668 --> 00:18:15,586
It comes right before
getting your ass kicked in an election.
297
00:18:15,755 --> 00:18:18,044
We're really talking about this, huh?
298
00:18:18,258 --> 00:18:22,386
- Toby's gonna be in in a minute.
- Every single election.
299
00:18:22,554 --> 00:18:24,214
Yes.
300
00:18:25,307 --> 00:18:29,555
- Legislature, House, governor.
- Yeah.
301
00:18:30,146 --> 00:18:34,524
- President.
- It's a statement about democracy.
302
00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:39,440
I've heard it before, I was just...
303
00:18:40,658 --> 00:18:42,947
- Is he here?
- Yes, sir.
304
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,618
It's a profound statement
about democracy.
305
00:18:46,789 --> 00:18:49,495
- Mr. President.
- Good morning, Albie.
306
00:18:49,668 --> 00:18:52,289
- Good morning. Hello, Leo.
- Good to see you, Albie.
307
00:18:52,462 --> 00:18:55,713
Can I get you anything?
Some coffee? A soft drink?
308
00:18:55,883 --> 00:18:59,299
- No, sir.
- Okay. Okay.
309
00:18:59,470 --> 00:19:03,053
I've asked you here because you
are the Assistant Secretary of State...
310
00:19:03,224 --> 00:19:06,012
...and I am the president.
- What have you done?
311
00:19:06,186 --> 00:19:09,187
- You see, right away.
- Don't worry about it.
312
00:19:09,356 --> 00:19:14,564
The Pac Fleet commander has informed
us we've lost contact with the Portland.
313
00:19:14,737 --> 00:19:18,320
The Portland's a Seawolf class?
Where is it?
314
00:19:18,491 --> 00:19:20,698
- Lake George.
- Somewhere in Haeju Bay.
315
00:19:21,745 --> 00:19:26,324
You've lost a nuclear submarine
in North Korea, Mr. President.
316
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:30,878
Thanks, Albie. That much the National
Security Council has made clear to me.
317
00:19:31,047 --> 00:19:33,918
- Any chance they've gone quiet?
- Nancy thinks there is.
318
00:19:34,092 --> 00:19:36,879
- I'm assuming they didn't radio.
- No.
319
00:19:37,054 --> 00:19:40,257
If they were in trouble,
they wouldn't send a distress signal...
320
00:19:40,432 --> 00:19:44,430
...because they might be detected and
submariners have different criteria...
321
00:19:44,604 --> 00:19:48,981
...when assessing risk versus reward.
322
00:19:49,776 --> 00:19:51,270
He knows.
323
00:19:51,445 --> 00:19:54,150
- Okay, I'll just stand over there.
- Where are we?
324
00:19:54,323 --> 00:19:58,072
The president wants to give four hours
before a rescue. We're an hour into it.
325
00:19:58,244 --> 00:20:00,201
- All the pieces in place?
- Yeah.
326
00:20:00,371 --> 00:20:02,447
- Who do we talk to in the meantime?
- Nobody.
327
00:20:02,624 --> 00:20:05,791
You sure? We don't talk
to the North Koreans?
328
00:20:05,961 --> 00:20:09,045
And tell them what?
You've got casus belli?
329
00:20:09,214 --> 00:20:11,587
Cause for war.
Little thing called Latin.
330
00:20:11,759 --> 00:20:16,635
If we tell North Korea we've violated
their waters, it could be interpreted...
331
00:20:16,806 --> 00:20:19,132
...as an act of war?
- It is an act of war.
332
00:20:19,309 --> 00:20:21,266
- We'll tell them it's not.
- It is.
333
00:20:22,187 --> 00:20:25,307
You violated international law.
334
00:20:25,482 --> 00:20:30,311
You've taken provocative action. At best
you'd create a crisis atmosphere...
335
00:20:30,488 --> 00:20:34,486
...and North Korea's got the
fourth largest army in the world.
336
00:20:34,909 --> 00:20:37,579
1968, the USS Pueblo...
337
00:20:37,746 --> 00:20:41,874
...was on an intelligence mission
off the DPRK.
338
00:20:42,042 --> 00:20:45,661
North Korea attacks
with vessels and a MiG jet.
339
00:20:45,838 --> 00:20:48,958
The 82 surviving crew are captured.
340
00:20:49,134 --> 00:20:51,969
They're held and tortured
for 11 months...
341
00:20:52,137 --> 00:20:56,634
...until we issue an apology
for the grave acts...
342
00:20:56,809 --> 00:21:00,641
...of espionage committed
by the U.S. ship.
343
00:21:00,813 --> 00:21:03,980
- I was there.
- Okay.
344
00:21:04,150 --> 00:21:07,235
- Can I talk to you alone for a second?
- Yeah.
345
00:21:14,161 --> 00:21:17,578
- Let's not call North Korea just yet.
- No.
346
00:21:17,749 --> 00:21:21,581
Leo, gut feeling.
Has the boat gone quiet?
347
00:21:21,753 --> 00:21:23,129
Yeah.
348
00:21:23,296 --> 00:21:26,214
Trust the captain, trust the crew.
349
00:21:27,635 --> 00:21:30,506
All right. Three more hours.
350
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,171
I think Albie should stay.
351
00:21:33,349 --> 00:21:35,342
He can talk us through some things.
352
00:21:35,518 --> 00:21:38,057
If we need to start
making calls he'll be helpful.
353
00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:42,275
Also, he'll be good to have around for
morale because he's Mr. Happy Fun Guy.
354
00:21:42,443 --> 00:21:45,942
- Look...
- I'm gonna ask you to stay for a while.
355
00:21:47,782 --> 00:21:50,783
Well, then, I'll take that
soft drink now...
356
00:21:50,952 --> 00:21:53,111
...if you've got it, Mr. President.
357
00:21:53,663 --> 00:21:57,827
Just a little Schweppes
Bitter Lemon on ice with a twist.
358
00:21:59,170 --> 00:22:01,127
Charlie!
359
00:22:02,131 --> 00:22:05,168
- Yes, sir.
- Could you have someone bring some...
360
00:22:05,343 --> 00:22:10,089
...Schweppes Bitter Lemon and a copy of
the constitutional order of succession?
361
00:22:10,265 --> 00:22:11,808
Yes, sir.
362
00:22:19,851 --> 00:22:24,394
New paragraph: As always, your
thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated.
363
00:22:24,564 --> 00:22:27,566
Also appreciated was the
visit to the White House...
364
00:22:27,735 --> 00:22:31,602
...by some 50 of your constituents
on board a bus...
365
00:22:31,781 --> 00:22:35,115
...that was chartered by your office.
366
00:22:35,285 --> 00:22:38,868
Their complaints were respectfully
heard by my assistant...
367
00:22:39,706 --> 00:22:42,577
...and I regret that matters
escalated to the point...
368
00:22:42,751 --> 00:22:46,370
...where she felt it necessary
to call in the Park Police.
369
00:22:47,131 --> 00:22:50,251
You'll be happy to know
that their bus has been refueled...
370
00:22:50,426 --> 00:22:52,585
...and the seniors
are on their way home...
371
00:22:52,762 --> 00:22:56,262
...each having been allowed to keep
their security tags as a souvenir.
372
00:22:56,433 --> 00:22:59,103
- Look...
- Signed. Do it.
373
00:22:59,270 --> 00:23:00,978
- Hey.
- You got a second?
374
00:23:01,147 --> 00:23:02,178
Type that.
375
00:23:02,356 --> 00:23:04,100
- I was just...
- Type it.
376
00:23:05,735 --> 00:23:08,772
- May I use your computer?
- What's wrong with yours?
377
00:23:08,947 --> 00:23:12,151
One of them poured Wheatena
on the keyboard.
378
00:23:12,826 --> 00:23:14,653
Go ahead.
379
00:23:23,505 --> 00:23:25,711
We had a little problem earlier.
What's up?
380
00:23:25,883 --> 00:23:28,635
The majority leader
got the question last night.
381
00:23:28,802 --> 00:23:31,673
And just kept on digging.
382
00:23:31,889 --> 00:23:34,890
"We have the greatest technology
of any country in the world...
383
00:23:35,059 --> 00:23:38,725
...along with the greatest, not the
greatest, but very serious problems...
384
00:23:38,897 --> 00:23:41,982
...confronting our people,
and I want to be president...
385
00:23:42,151 --> 00:23:45,068
...in order to focus on these problems
in a way that uses...
386
00:23:45,237 --> 00:23:48,441
...the energy of our people
to move us forward, basically."
387
00:23:48,616 --> 00:23:51,286
- Yes.
- It's the"basically" that makes it art.
388
00:23:51,453 --> 00:23:55,118
The best thing we can do is step back.
We can't be seen to be gloating.
389
00:23:55,290 --> 00:23:57,449
Yeah, we do that
when nobody's looking.
390
00:23:57,626 --> 00:23:59,168
- Anything else?
- No.
391
00:23:59,336 --> 00:24:02,540
- They poured Wheatena on her keyboard.
- Listen...
392
00:24:02,965 --> 00:24:04,424
...how good is our answer?
393
00:24:04,634 --> 00:24:05,665
- It's good.
- Really?
394
00:24:05,844 --> 00:24:07,504
What is it?
395
00:24:09,264 --> 00:24:11,257
Do we have one?
I'm sure we have one.
396
00:24:11,433 --> 00:24:14,268
- Will you check? Will you check today?
- Yeah.
397
00:24:14,436 --> 00:24:17,521
- Thank you.
- Okay.
398
00:24:17,690 --> 00:24:22,103
No, the problem is that Oakenwood
thinks that the mission of the NEA...
399
00:24:22,278 --> 00:24:24,437
...is to subsidize artists
in this country.
400
00:24:24,614 --> 00:24:28,399
The mission of the NEA is to
subsidize artists in this country.
401
00:24:28,577 --> 00:24:32,160
- Then that's the problem.
- In fact, it's to subsidize art.
402
00:24:32,331 --> 00:24:35,001
Go ahead and explain
that distinction in Topeka.
403
00:24:35,168 --> 00:24:38,252
They're bright. No artists you
mentioned received direct money...
404
00:24:38,421 --> 00:24:42,289
...from the Endowments because the last
time Republicans tried losing the NEA...
405
00:24:42,467 --> 00:24:46,051
...not three times ago, but last time,
we got rid of the individual grants.
406
00:24:46,222 --> 00:24:48,678
And Oakenwood found
a back door by giving money...
407
00:24:48,850 --> 00:24:52,017
...directly to the museums
that put on...
408
00:24:52,896 --> 00:24:56,063
Toby, do you like this stuff?
409
00:24:56,233 --> 00:25:00,527
You'd need the Budweiser Clydesdales
to drag me to Picasso and Monet.
410
00:25:00,696 --> 00:25:04,990
I'm not the guy you want deciding this.
You're not the guy I want deciding this.
411
00:25:05,159 --> 00:25:08,611
I don't know where you get the idea
taxpayers shouldn't have to pay...
412
00:25:08,788 --> 00:25:10,912
...for anything of which
they disapprove.
413
00:25:11,083 --> 00:25:12,992
Lots of them don't like tanks.
414
00:25:13,168 --> 00:25:16,123
Even more don't like Congress.
415
00:25:16,297 --> 00:25:19,464
- Hi.
- Lisa Mulberry, 28...
416
00:25:19,634 --> 00:25:25,221
...specializes in placing genitalia
in anatomically incorrect...
417
00:25:26,058 --> 00:25:28,050
- Excuse us.
- Sure.
418
00:25:31,981 --> 00:25:35,646
Look, we can't spend soft money
on a primary ad anyway, so...
419
00:25:35,818 --> 00:25:38,392
- No, he's passing the magic-words test.
- What test?
420
00:25:38,571 --> 00:25:40,979
U.S. Supreme Court,
Buckley v. Valeo.
421
00:25:41,158 --> 00:25:44,444
The Court created a loophole
by ruling that campaign-finance laws...
422
00:25:44,620 --> 00:25:47,657
...only apply to communications
that in express terms...
423
00:25:47,832 --> 00:25:50,584
...advocate the election or defeat
of a candidate...
424
00:25:50,752 --> 00:25:52,709
...for Federal office.
425
00:25:56,383 --> 00:25:59,384
If you don't put"Vote Bartlet"
in the ad...
426
00:25:59,553 --> 00:26:03,136
...you can pay for it with unmarked
bills from a bank heist if you want to.
427
00:26:03,307 --> 00:26:07,222
There's also Footnote 52, where the
Court said campaign-finance laws...
428
00:26:07,395 --> 00:26:11,310
...only apply to communications with the
terms"vote for,""elect,""support"...
429
00:26:11,483 --> 00:26:15,398
..."cast your ballot for,""vote
against,""defeat,""reject." That's it.
430
00:26:17,364 --> 00:26:18,942
I'm savant-like.
431
00:26:19,116 --> 00:26:23,743
- If it doesn't use those specific words?
- It is an issue ad.
432
00:26:23,913 --> 00:26:26,831
You know what they say
about money in politics.
433
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,993
- It's like water on pavement.
- Why?
434
00:26:29,336 --> 00:26:31,792
- That's a good...
- It finds every crack and crevice.
435
00:26:31,964 --> 00:26:35,168
The standard should be,"Does the ad
try to influence the outcome?
436
00:26:35,343 --> 00:26:39,341
- If so, you can't use soft money."
- Well, zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Sam.
437
00:26:39,514 --> 00:26:43,643
- Excuse me?
- That isn't what the standard is.
438
00:26:44,061 --> 00:26:47,477
Now, I think we should run in the
same election as everybody else.
439
00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:49,767
Toby?
440
00:26:52,070 --> 00:26:53,445
I've gotta go back in there.
441
00:26:53,613 --> 00:26:57,563
When I come back, show me an ad
without the magic words.
442
00:27:01,956 --> 00:27:03,995
- Francis Pendleton.
- Frank.
443
00:27:04,166 --> 00:27:06,574
- This was the case you settled?
- Yeah.
444
00:27:06,753 --> 00:27:10,703
$58,000 payout from SVM Mutual.
445
00:27:10,882 --> 00:27:13,967
- Why wasn't that out in the campaign?
- Confidentiality clause.
446
00:27:14,136 --> 00:27:17,920
No one would know that figure unless
they subpoenaed the Pendleton papers.
447
00:27:18,099 --> 00:27:19,807
They did.
448
00:27:20,893 --> 00:27:25,556
- You performed an atrioventricular...
- Is there a deal to be made?
449
00:27:27,401 --> 00:27:29,144
Is there?
450
00:27:29,403 --> 00:27:33,946
Oliver, I raise my right hand, they're
halfway to where they wanna be.
451
00:27:34,325 --> 00:27:37,196
- Is there a deal?
- Can't guarantee they'll be interested.
452
00:27:37,370 --> 00:27:40,157
- But they might be.
- If putting you on the stand is too risky.
453
00:27:40,332 --> 00:27:42,040
Why would it be a risk for them?
454
00:27:42,250 --> 00:27:45,702
You know the story of the man who
breaks into the pharmacy for medicine.
455
00:27:45,879 --> 00:27:48,205
A life is saved, a window's broken.
456
00:27:48,382 --> 00:27:49,924
Right.
457
00:27:50,092 --> 00:27:53,296
- And I get to pay to have it fixed.
- So they might be interested.
458
00:27:54,597 --> 00:27:57,089
- What would they want?
- At best?
459
00:27:57,559 --> 00:27:59,018
Start with at worst.
460
00:27:59,186 --> 00:28:00,846
- At worst?
- Yeah.
461
00:28:01,397 --> 00:28:04,267
Suspended jail sentence
of three to five years.
462
00:28:04,442 --> 00:28:06,102
What's the one right above that?
463
00:28:06,277 --> 00:28:09,278
USS Glomar, top-secret debacle.
464
00:28:09,447 --> 00:28:11,405
Project Jennifer.
465
00:28:11,575 --> 00:28:15,739
Glomar goes after Clementine,
the sunken Russian Golf.
466
00:28:15,913 --> 00:28:18,404
Six feet a minute, that's how fast
we pulled her up.
467
00:28:18,582 --> 00:28:22,034
Then, all of a sudden:
Her claw breaks in two.
468
00:28:22,211 --> 00:28:26,755
The Golf dangles loose, one sub
from another, steel ripping off.
469
00:28:26,925 --> 00:28:29,760
Everything we needed,
including its nuclear missile...
470
00:28:29,928 --> 00:28:33,796
...its transmitters,
its code books, everything, gone.
471
00:28:33,974 --> 00:28:37,593
The USS Gudgeon, 1957.
472
00:28:37,770 --> 00:28:41,638
Eight Soviet ships caught her,
kept her cornered for four days.
473
00:28:41,816 --> 00:28:45,731
The oxygen depletion,
migraines, fainting.
474
00:28:45,904 --> 00:28:49,155
You couldn't cook.
You couldn't light a cigarette.
475
00:28:49,325 --> 00:28:51,483
- They smoke in subs?
- They used to.
476
00:28:51,661 --> 00:28:53,867
The Oklahoma...
477
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,125
...the Hornet,
the Lexington, a CV-2...
478
00:28:58,293 --> 00:29:00,120
...the USS Wasp.
479
00:29:00,546 --> 00:29:03,997
The Wasp was a CV-7
out in the Solomon Islands... .
480
00:29:06,719 --> 00:29:09,293
God, I'm sorry. Am I still here?
481
00:29:09,472 --> 00:29:12,390
You lost your boat in the
wrong part of the world.
482
00:29:12,559 --> 00:29:15,050
I haven't lost the boat yet,
Mr. Secretary.
483
00:29:15,229 --> 00:29:19,808
I'm the only one who thinks we should
send the fast-attack subs right now.
484
00:29:19,984 --> 00:29:23,733
And I'm an hour away from gathering
the NSC and calling Japan.
485
00:29:23,905 --> 00:29:25,483
I'm sorry, I wasn't listening.
486
00:29:25,657 --> 00:29:28,741
I say you lost your boat
in the wrong part of the world.
487
00:29:29,870 --> 00:29:32,990
- Albie...
- It was a UN action, Mr. Secretary.
488
00:29:33,165 --> 00:29:37,080
Sixteen countries were involved
in that police action, Mr. Secretary.
489
00:29:37,253 --> 00:29:39,875
Thirty-three, 34,000 American dead.
490
00:29:40,048 --> 00:29:43,583
How come we're the only ones still
fighting? Where did everybody go?
491
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,889
Well, Colombia's fighting a drug war.
Ethiopia's trying to feed itself.
492
00:29:48,057 --> 00:29:53,681
Belgium and the Netherlands,
they have cheese and chocolate to make.
493
00:29:54,731 --> 00:29:56,807
- Sir? Josh.
- Send him in.
494
00:29:57,567 --> 00:29:59,477
- Good afternoon, sir.
- Hey, Josh.
495
00:29:59,653 --> 00:30:01,942
- Joshua.
- Good afternoon, Mr. Secretary.
496
00:30:02,114 --> 00:30:05,697
- Anything going on I should know about?
- We're just catching up.
497
00:30:06,118 --> 00:30:10,615
- This can wait for another time.
- Give it to me. I want a distraction.
498
00:30:10,790 --> 00:30:12,664
- No, it's all right.
- Give it to me.
499
00:30:12,834 --> 00:30:15,670
- It's campaign related.
- That's okay.
500
00:30:16,004 --> 00:30:19,171
Well, the majority leader
got the question last night.
501
00:30:19,341 --> 00:30:21,299
- He tanked.
- We're putting together...
502
00:30:21,469 --> 00:30:23,960
...an answer for when you get it.
- The question?
503
00:30:24,138 --> 00:30:26,262
- Why do you wanna be president?
- I don't.
504
00:30:26,766 --> 00:30:29,767
Well, we'll put that in the hopper
and show you a draft.
505
00:30:29,936 --> 00:30:32,309
- Good.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
506
00:30:37,278 --> 00:30:38,986
Leo?
507
00:30:40,532 --> 00:30:42,821
Fifty-five minutes.
508
00:30:50,826 --> 00:30:54,361
This is a time of dizzying change
and progress around the world.
509
00:30:54,539 --> 00:30:57,291
I'm running for re-election because
I wanna make sure...
510
00:30:57,459 --> 00:31:00,579
...that all our people can share
in 21 st-century jobs...
511
00:31:00,754 --> 00:31:03,755
Jobs and industries
we can't even imagine today...
512
00:31:03,924 --> 00:31:08,172
...bring the benefits of new medical
advancements to all our families...
513
00:31:08,346 --> 00:31:10,671
And harness new technology
and the Internet...
514
00:31:10,849 --> 00:31:13,091
...as a force
for faster economic growth...
515
00:31:13,268 --> 00:31:16,851
Better education and a freer exchange
of ideas around the world.
516
00:31:17,022 --> 00:31:19,311
- There it is.
- That's fine.
517
00:31:24,697 --> 00:31:26,489
- You wanna say something?
- No.
518
00:31:26,699 --> 00:31:28,242
I thought it was...
519
00:31:29,411 --> 00:31:32,329
It's got crisp, commanding phrases.
520
00:31:32,498 --> 00:31:35,949
It's got active verbs like"harness."
It paints a picture of the future.
521
00:31:36,127 --> 00:31:39,626
Someone wants to be president for
medical research and the Internet?
522
00:31:40,882 --> 00:31:44,002
- She's got a point.
- Sometimes you get your face on a coin.
523
00:31:44,386 --> 00:31:46,675
Okay, this shouldn't be hard.
524
00:31:46,847 --> 00:31:49,420
You should charge money for this.
Sell tickets...
525
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,720
...and charge money and call it
"Journey Back to Germany"...
526
00:31:52,895 --> 00:31:55,980
...where in 1937 they held a show
of degenerate art...
527
00:31:56,441 --> 00:32:00,309
...vilifying art they deemed sick,
art featuring mockery of the divine...
528
00:32:00,487 --> 00:32:03,939
...art that wasted the taxes
of the German working people.
529
00:32:04,158 --> 00:32:07,242
Well, how much do you think
we could get?
530
00:32:07,411 --> 00:32:09,819
- Look...
- I think it's in incredibly bad taste...
531
00:32:09,997 --> 00:32:12,489
...to equate the U.S. Congress
with the Nazis.
532
00:32:12,667 --> 00:32:17,080
Me too. In Europe and Japan they're
spending between 1.5 and 3 billion...
533
00:32:17,256 --> 00:32:21,040
...on the arts. Congress thinks
105 million is indulgent?
534
00:32:21,218 --> 00:32:23,176
- Yes.
- There is a connection...
535
00:32:23,346 --> 00:32:27,558
...between the progress
of a society and progress in the arts.
536
00:32:27,725 --> 00:32:30,596
The age of Pericles
was also the age of Phidias.
537
00:32:30,771 --> 00:32:34,306
The age of Lorenzo de' Medici
was also the age of Leonardo da Vinci.
538
00:32:34,483 --> 00:32:36,974
The age of Elizabeth
was the age of Shakespeare.
539
00:32:37,153 --> 00:32:39,774
Ain't none of these guys
da Vinci or Shakespeare.
540
00:32:39,947 --> 00:32:41,774
Says you.
541
00:32:41,950 --> 00:32:46,493
Let's wait till November,
see how many voters agree with me.
542
00:32:47,831 --> 00:32:50,322
National Parks?
543
00:32:54,422 --> 00:32:57,921
National Park security.
544
00:32:58,426 --> 00:33:00,051
Security?
545
00:33:00,220 --> 00:33:02,972
- Yeah.
- Really?
546
00:33:03,140 --> 00:33:04,931
Yeah.
547
00:33:06,268 --> 00:33:09,353
The parks are safe, Tawny.
We spend a lot of money on that.
548
00:33:10,106 --> 00:33:11,481
They could be safer.
549
00:33:11,649 --> 00:33:15,101
And the money for that
could come from someplace else.
550
00:33:15,278 --> 00:33:17,271
- Like where?
- Like...
551
00:33:17,447 --> 00:33:19,155
New taxes?
552
00:33:21,744 --> 00:33:23,452
Yeah.
553
00:33:26,249 --> 00:33:28,206
What do you want?
554
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,245
Get rid of Oakenwood.
555
00:33:32,422 --> 00:33:34,711
We'll find the money someplace else.
556
00:33:36,552 --> 00:33:38,545
Get rid of Oakenwood?
557
00:33:40,389 --> 00:33:42,133
Yeah.
558
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,762
What if I agree to a suspension
of my license?
559
00:33:47,940 --> 00:33:52,104
I agree to a suspension of my license
for the length of Jed's term.
560
00:33:52,278 --> 00:33:55,647
If he serves a second term,
it includes those years too.
561
00:33:55,823 --> 00:33:59,275
- All three states?
- New Hampshire, Missouri and Arizona.
562
00:33:59,452 --> 00:34:01,694
I pay a fine. I pay a fine...
563
00:34:01,872 --> 00:34:05,455
...and the violation is recorded
in the Practitioners Databank.
564
00:34:05,626 --> 00:34:09,838
I resign from boards and organizations.
That gives them a win, right?
565
00:34:10,131 --> 00:34:12,800
- Yeah.
- So, what do you think?
566
00:34:13,259 --> 00:34:17,209
You're not my client. It's not my job
to protect your medical license.
567
00:34:17,389 --> 00:34:19,880
- What do you think?
- I think it's good.
568
00:34:20,058 --> 00:34:21,968
Any White House Counsel
would think that.
569
00:34:22,144 --> 00:34:24,102
Will you help me
convince the president?
570
00:34:24,271 --> 00:34:26,395
- It stinks.
- You just said it was good.
571
00:34:26,566 --> 00:34:28,855
- It stinks.
- In a good way?
572
00:34:29,027 --> 00:34:31,945
You broke some laws.
You should be ashamed of yourself...
573
00:34:32,114 --> 00:34:34,153
...but this investigation
isn't about that.
574
00:34:34,324 --> 00:34:37,029
It's about the criminalization of politics.
575
00:34:37,203 --> 00:34:40,120
An attempt to do what they
couldn't do at the ballot box.
576
00:34:40,289 --> 00:34:44,122
- But we don't have the luxury...
- Stop eating fruits and vegetables.
577
00:34:44,294 --> 00:34:46,037
It's doing something bad to you.
578
00:34:46,213 --> 00:34:49,048
Fruits and vegetables will seduce you
like a woman with...
579
00:34:49,508 --> 00:34:53,636
Truth isn't a luxury. You're gonna
go in there, you're gonna swear an oath.
580
00:34:53,804 --> 00:34:56,509
You're gonna get asked questions
and tell the truth.
581
00:34:56,682 --> 00:35:00,728
It's the way you stand up
and say,"Stop."
582
00:35:10,072 --> 00:35:11,816
You should be careful, Oliver.
583
00:35:11,991 --> 00:35:15,158
You keep talking like a person,
they'll kick you out of the bar.
584
00:35:15,328 --> 00:35:17,072
I've been kicked out of bars before.
585
00:35:17,247 --> 00:35:19,821
- I meant...
- I know what you meant.
586
00:35:22,419 --> 00:35:25,789
Instead of"Jed Bartlet's fighting
to rebuild crumbling schools"...
587
00:35:25,965 --> 00:35:29,085
...we'll make it,"We're fighting
to rebuild crumbling schools."
588
00:35:29,260 --> 00:35:31,882
And we've got a picture
of the president on the screen.
589
00:35:32,097 --> 00:35:35,300
Yeah, and we change
"Vote Bartlet for America"...
590
00:35:35,476 --> 00:35:38,181
...to"Paid for by
Democrats for America."
591
00:35:38,354 --> 00:35:40,393
- You changed five words.
- Magic words.
592
00:35:40,564 --> 00:35:41,940
- They're not magic.
- It's illusion.
593
00:35:42,108 --> 00:35:43,851
- It's a scam.
- Yeah.
594
00:35:44,235 --> 00:35:45,730
- Where are we?
- Bruno and Connie...
595
00:35:45,904 --> 00:35:48,858
...have fought their way out of
our campaign-finance laws.
596
00:35:49,032 --> 00:35:51,784
- It's an issue ad.
- It's a candidate ad with words changed.
597
00:35:51,952 --> 00:35:53,826
- Magic words.
- Connie.
598
00:35:53,996 --> 00:35:56,487
I don't know any other way
to fight fire, Toby.
599
00:35:56,666 --> 00:35:58,824
Why are you bent on
countering these leaflets?
600
00:35:59,002 --> 00:36:01,754
Because I am tired
of working for candidates...
601
00:36:01,922 --> 00:36:06,667
...who make me think I should be
embarrassed to believe what I believe.
602
00:36:06,844 --> 00:36:10,379
I'm tired of getting them elected.
603
00:36:10,556 --> 00:36:14,601
We need therapy because somebody
came along and said liberal means...
604
00:36:14,769 --> 00:36:18,518
...soft on crime, soft on drugs,
soft on Communism...
605
00:36:18,690 --> 00:36:22,225
...soft on defense. And we're gonna
tax you back to the Stone Age...
606
00:36:22,403 --> 00:36:26,068
...because people shouldn't have to
go to work if they don't want to.
607
00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:30,321
And instead of saying,"Well, excuse me,
you right-wing, reactionary...
608
00:36:30,495 --> 00:36:34,707
...xenophobic, homophobic,
anti-education, anti-choice...
609
00:36:34,875 --> 00:36:38,458
...pro-gun, Leave it to Beaver
trip back to the '50s"...
610
00:36:38,629 --> 00:36:42,129
...we cowered in the corner and said:
611
00:36:42,300 --> 00:36:45,586
"Please, don't hurt me."
612
00:36:47,597 --> 00:36:49,140
No more.
613
00:36:50,601 --> 00:36:53,353
I really don't care who's right,
who's wrong.
614
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,605
We're both right. We're both wrong.
615
00:36:57,358 --> 00:37:00,858
Let's have two parties, huh?
What do you say?
616
00:37:10,498 --> 00:37:12,325
I agree.
617
00:37:12,500 --> 00:37:15,418
- Toby...
- Let's stick to the spirit of the law.
618
00:37:15,587 --> 00:37:17,829
The spirit of the law
means no soft money.
619
00:37:18,089 --> 00:37:20,711
I'm saying let's do an issue ad,
an actual issue ad.
620
00:37:20,884 --> 00:37:24,336
Let's do a bunch.
Health care, equal opportunity.
621
00:37:24,513 --> 00:37:26,056
School construction.
622
00:37:26,223 --> 00:37:30,008
Anyone think raising awareness
of crumbling schools won't help us?
623
00:37:30,186 --> 00:37:32,096
There's actually
a reasonable point here.
624
00:37:32,272 --> 00:37:35,890
New polls see Republicans as better
on education with no basis for it.
625
00:37:36,068 --> 00:37:38,903
The ad could spark a debate
on the issue, which would help.
626
00:37:39,071 --> 00:37:41,609
And we take a parallel path
in our free media.
627
00:37:41,782 --> 00:37:43,941
Across America our schools
are crumbling.
628
00:37:44,118 --> 00:37:48,068
Holes in the walls, kids packed
into trailers like sardines in a can.
629
00:37:48,248 --> 00:37:50,786
Half of America's schools
are in disrepair.
630
00:37:50,959 --> 00:37:53,248
And when schools fall down,
so do test scores.
631
00:37:53,420 --> 00:37:56,375
- This isn't bad, I like this.
- Yes.
632
00:37:56,549 --> 00:37:59,799
- Why am I nervous?
- It's not amoral.
633
00:38:00,929 --> 00:38:02,304
Yeah.
634
00:38:02,472 --> 00:38:04,216
Okay.
635
00:38:04,391 --> 00:38:07,641
Across America
schools are crumbling.
636
00:38:07,811 --> 00:38:10,682
...sweeping Wonsan Harbor
near Sindo Island...
637
00:38:10,856 --> 00:38:14,771
...turned to starboard,
hit a mine. Sank.
638
00:38:14,944 --> 00:38:17,566
The USS Gurke, the St. Paul...
639
00:38:17,739 --> 00:38:20,064
...the Irwin, a DD-794...
640
00:38:20,242 --> 00:38:24,785
...the John W. Morrison,
which took 150 rounds...
641
00:38:24,955 --> 00:38:29,534
...of 107 mm air bursts
from a shore battery at Hodo Pando.
642
00:38:29,711 --> 00:38:33,756
- 1953, the Manchester...
- Okay.
643
00:38:33,924 --> 00:38:35,963
- I beg your pardon?
- It's time.
644
00:38:36,134 --> 00:38:41,129
- You still got 10 minutes by my watch.
- Yeah, we're going now.
645
00:38:41,557 --> 00:38:44,808
- You contact Pac Fleet?
- Pac Fleet contacts Ballast Point.
646
00:38:44,977 --> 00:38:47,895
- In San Diego, right?
- Yes. We've got a C-141 Starlifter...
647
00:38:48,064 --> 00:38:50,187
...at North Island.
It'll transport the DSRVs.
648
00:38:50,358 --> 00:38:52,980
- What do they do?
- They'll dock with Whiskey-Three.
649
00:38:53,153 --> 00:38:55,691
- Whiskey-Three?
- It's Portland's code name.
650
00:38:55,865 --> 00:38:57,941
Rescue team blows out
the docking collar...
651
00:38:58,117 --> 00:39:00,406
...and survivors will exit
in groups of 24.
652
00:39:00,578 --> 00:39:01,989
How many trips will it take?
653
00:39:02,163 --> 00:39:04,655
- Six trips to offload them all.
- What about injured?
654
00:39:04,833 --> 00:39:08,748
There will be a medical team. Seriously
injured will be medevaced to Tokyo.
655
00:39:08,921 --> 00:39:12,504
- Let's go get them. Time's up.
- We have Whiskey-Three-Charlie...
656
00:39:12,675 --> 00:39:14,668
...on sat high com.
- What does that mean?
657
00:39:14,844 --> 00:39:17,335
- The Portland is on satellite.
- What does that mean?
658
00:39:17,514 --> 00:39:19,506
- We have them.
- Whiskey-Three-Charlie...
659
00:39:19,683 --> 00:39:22,684
... this is Pac Fleet,
report your whiskey, over.
660
00:39:22,853 --> 00:39:27,266
Whiskey-Three-Charlie, whiskey is
36. 6 degrees north by 110 west.
661
00:39:27,441 --> 00:39:31,274
Went quiet to avoid close aboard
contact with Luda-class destroyer.
662
00:39:31,446 --> 00:39:33,485
Mechanical situation 's at full op.
663
00:39:33,948 --> 00:39:37,282
Whiskey-Three-Charlie, this is
Pac Fleet. Roger all. Happy hunting.
664
00:39:41,165 --> 00:39:42,493
All right.
665
00:39:42,667 --> 00:39:44,410
Okay.
666
00:39:45,086 --> 00:39:47,957
There they are.
See, they went deep and quiet...
667
00:39:48,131 --> 00:39:50,966
...to avoid a close aboard
with a Luda-class destroyer.
668
00:39:51,134 --> 00:39:55,049
What you gotta do in these
situations is, you trust the captain...
669
00:39:55,222 --> 00:39:57,429
...you trust the crew.
670
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,178
Yes, sir.
671
00:40:06,485 --> 00:40:07,979
- Hey.
- Good afternoon, sir.
672
00:40:08,153 --> 00:40:10,146
- It got filed?
- Yes, sir.
673
00:40:10,322 --> 00:40:13,323
- It got filed?
- Yes, sir.
674
00:40:13,618 --> 00:40:16,785
- So I'm on the ballot in New Hampshire?
- Yeah.
675
00:40:16,955 --> 00:40:18,615
Okay.
676
00:40:25,881 --> 00:40:28,207
When Romans ran
for the office of consul...
677
00:40:28,384 --> 00:40:30,507
- Did I just see you roll your eyes?
- No, sir.
678
00:40:30,678 --> 00:40:34,344
They wore whitened togas to show
their intent. A bit silly, perhaps.
679
00:40:34,516 --> 00:40:36,841
- Perhaps.
- It was an act of personal commission.
680
00:40:37,018 --> 00:40:41,348
I know how much you like to think
of yourself as a man of the people...
681
00:40:41,523 --> 00:40:43,267
...Roman references and all...
682
00:40:43,442 --> 00:40:46,278
...but you're the only one who can
launch our nuclear weapons.
683
00:40:46,446 --> 00:40:48,853
You travel in a
fully secured perimeter.
684
00:40:49,032 --> 00:40:51,155
You rescue submarines.
685
00:40:51,326 --> 00:40:54,945
Maybe it's time for it to be okay
that an aide delivers a piece of paper.
686
00:40:55,205 --> 00:40:57,198
You're pretty mouthy today.
687
00:40:57,875 --> 00:40:59,749
C.J. 's waiting inside, sir.
688
00:41:03,882 --> 00:41:06,040
- Hey.
- Good afternoon, Mr. President.
689
00:41:06,218 --> 00:41:07,795
Hey.
690
00:41:08,512 --> 00:41:10,837
Do you duck when you're
getting on Marine One?
691
00:41:11,015 --> 00:41:12,758
No, sir. Should I?
692
00:41:12,933 --> 00:41:15,057
I think the blades are high enough.
693
00:41:15,228 --> 00:41:17,635
The majority leader
got the question last night.
694
00:41:17,814 --> 00:41:20,270
- He went to the zoo.
- Yeah. Listen...
695
00:41:20,442 --> 00:41:23,609
...I want you to go easy on him.
He's conscientious and dedicated.
696
00:41:23,779 --> 00:41:25,937
It's not an easy question.
697
00:41:26,865 --> 00:41:29,950
- Can you answer it?
- Why do I want to be president?
698
00:41:30,119 --> 00:41:31,661
Yeah.
699
00:41:38,879 --> 00:41:41,584
I've been thinking about it
for the last couple of hours.
700
00:41:41,757 --> 00:41:43,549
I almost had it.
