1. Previously on The West Wing:Copy !req
2. - What are you doing?
- Excuse me?Copy !req
3. We don't push agendas here.Copy !req
4. I don't believe I am.Copy !req
5. I was in a lockdown
for 77 hours once.Copy !req
6. - Where was that?
- Overseas.Copy !req
7. Okay. I get it. CIA.Copy !req
8. I could look you up.
I have code word clearance.Copy !req
9. Not this code, you don't.Copy !req
10. We have the ability to effect more
change in a day at the White House . . .Copy !req
11. . . . than we have in a lifetime
once we walk out these doors.Copy !req
12. What do you wanna do with them?Copy !req
13. - Leo, you know what time it is?
- Good morning, Mr. President.Copy !req
14. I'll be the judge of that.
It's a little after 5 a.m.Copy !req
15. - 5:13, to be precise.
- It wasn't my favorite thing, calling you.Copy !req
16. - Yeah, I had to run the gauntlet upstairs.
- That can be special.Copy !req
17. "The world breaks everyone,
and afterwards many are strong . . .Copy !req
18. . . .at the broken places.
But those that will not break, it kills.Copy !req
19. It kills the very good and the very gentle
and the very brave impartially. "Copy !req
20. When he was good, he was very, very
good, and when he was bad, he was—Copy !req
21. Hemingway was a monster.
He hated his mother . . .Copy !req
22. . . . treated four wives miserably,
trashed his friends, grew paranoid . . .Copy !req
23. . . . had breakdowns.
Like his father, killed himself.Copy !req
24. Well, aside from all that, why are you
harassing me at 5:13 a.m.?Copy !req
25. I've been on the phone.
There's a rumor about Castro.Copy !req
26. - There's always rumors about him.
- And at some point, they'll be true.Copy !req
27. We've been laying groundwork
and making progress. Slow, granted.Copy !req
28. - A year. Who's counting?
- if the talks we've cobbled together . . .Copy !req
29. . . . with Cuba blow up, and this number
reaches zero, and we've got nothing . . .Copy !req
30. - . . .to show for it—
- For this, you're reading Hemingway?Copy !req
31. - It's been 10 years.
- I remember.Copy !req
32. In 30 days,
you read the complete works of.Copy !req
33. It was hot. It was dry.
I had time on my hands.Copy !req
34. Changed my life. Well . . .Copy !req
35. - . . . not Hemingway, exactly.
- Sierra Tucson can do that.Copy !req
36. Sir.Copy !req
37. I've got an idea.Copy !req
38. - Charlie, have you seen Leo?
- He's gone.Copy !req
39. - Gone?
- I saw him packing up a few hours ago.Copy !req
40. - That would be night.
- Yeah, it was still dark out.Copy !req
41. Señor McGarry,
you made it successfully.Copy !req
42. The weather, it's been bad.Copy !req
43. Seemed like a good idea at the time.Copy !req
44. Please, enter la finca de
Señor Ernesto Hemingway.Copy !req
45. Mr. President?Copy !req
46. - 7:53.
- It's 7:49.Copy !req
47. It's 7:53, and I had 7:53.Copy !req
48. It doesn't reflect kindly
to what looks nothing . . .Copy !req
49. - . . .so much like trying to welsh on a bet.
- You requested . . .Copy !req
50. . . . the EPA's ozone standard report.
Leo had it, but—Copy !req
51. We've been expecting you. I had 7:53,
and Debbie's watch stopped.Copy !req
52. A small wager about how long
it'd take before someone came . . .Copy !req
53. - . . .to ask where Leo might be.
- I don't understand.Copy !req
54. Who knew he was such a Hemingway
fan that he'd go and visit his house?Copy !req
55. The one in Idaho or the one
with the six-toe cats in Key West?Copy !req
56. Good question, Charles Young.
You know, I forgot to ask.Copy !req
57. You admire Ernesto?Copy !req
58. Very much. His writing. The best of it.Copy !req
59. - The bug people are coming today.
- Where's, "Good morning," coffee, eggs?Copy !req
60. There may be termites
in the White House.Copy !req
61. - Hold the eggs.
- Two companies wanna do tests.Copy !req
62. There could be some kind
of ant also. Carpenter ant.Copy !req
63. There's fear it's related to the outbreak
of the woolly adelgid.Copy !req
64. The woolly what?Copy !req
65. They're attacking hemlocks
in the Smoky Mountains and Virginia.Copy !req
66. - They're closing in.
- You're making this up.Copy !req
67. You gave me the briefing book.
The Roosevelt or Mural Room?Copy !req
68. - Are they coming here to talk?
- They might munch around.Copy !req
69. Munch? Just keep them far away
from me, thank you.Copy !req
70. - They handle a large constituency.
- A small constituency.Copy !req
71. Well, size doesn't count.Copy !req
72. Changing the subject,
any word from Leo?Copy !req
73. - Still in Hemingway-ville, far as I know.
- You know he read Hemingway?Copy !req
74. History, books on fishing, thrillers,
Graham Greene, Charles McCarry.Copy !req
75. - You never saw him reading Hemingway?
- Can't say I did.Copy !req
76. He is 79 years old,
so it could be true.Copy !req
77. - Where'd the report come from?
- Miami.Copy !req
78. Well, that's reliable.Copy !req
79. C.J., a report's come in the last hour
that Fidel Castro's seriously ill.Copy !req
80. - Has it been verified?
- We have nothing firm yet.Copy !req
81. - It's from Miami.
- It could be accurate or wishful thinking.Copy !req
82. There's a lot of Chicken Little there,
or it could be a cover for something.Copy !req
83. There's a history of assassination
attempts, psyops forays, invasion plans.Copy !req
84. I thought that had stopped.Copy !req
85. - The CIA did. We're talking years ago.
- It wasn't that long ago.Copy !req
86. - How long to nail down the information?
- A rabid Cuban-American community . . .Copy !req
87. . . . could be involved. Old zealots, young
hotheads and a ton of agencies.Copy !req
88. - FBI, DEA, NSA, NIA, INS—
- Which doesn't answer my question.Copy !req
89. We may never get a straight answer.
Miami, South Florida, it's Chinatown.Copy !req
90. I don't care. Pin it down.Copy !req
91. By the way, I haven't collected
my winnings yet.Copy !req
92. Excuse me,
I think that would be my winnings.Copy !req
93. Sir, there's a rumor about Castro.Copy !req
94. - Pull up the drawbridge for a minute.
- I'll sound the trumpets . . .Copy !req
95. . . . alert the gatekeeper, get the federal
government to attach your wages.Copy !req
96. Believe me, they already do.Copy !req
97. Castro's always dying.Copy !req
98. He's dying from hypochondria,
or the exiles are trying to kill him . . .Copy !req
99. . . . or the CIA's trying to kill him.Copy !req
100. He collapsed a few years ago.
Same thing . . .Copy !req
101. . . . endless rumors. Then he reappears
in fresh fatigues, trimmed beard . . .Copy !req
102. . . . and launches into a speech
of such length and intensity . . .Copy !req
103. . . .it would've put away
William Jennings Bryan.Copy !req
104. NSA seems to think even if it is
a false alarm, it may be significant.Copy !req
105. That's kind of what Leo said.Copy !req
106. Why do I feel that there's something
going on with Leo . . .Copy !req
107. . . . besides Ernest Hemingway?Copy !req
108. My apologies, C.J.,
but before you were chief of staff . . .Copy !req
109. . . . we began secret exploratory meetings
in Canada with representatives . . .Copy !req
110. - . . . of the Cuban government.
- Leo's gone to Canada?Copy !req
111. Actually, no. Cuba.Copy !req
112. With, perhaps,
a thermometer and a stethoscope.Copy !req
113. - And an offer, a new deal.
- And what does he say?Copy !req
114. - I'm waiting to find out.
- Is it your plan to tell the rest of us . . .Copy !req
115. . . . who try and help you two
run this place?Copy !req
116. One night in 1961, shortly after
the Bay of Pigs fiasco . . .Copy !req
117. . . . President John F. Kennedy sent
Pierre Salinger out on a mission.Copy !req
118. "Come back with 1000
Cuban cigars by morning. "Copy !req
119. Petit Upmanns is what the president
smoked, and before 8 a.m . . .Copy !req
120. . . . the following morning, Salinger had
managed to corral 1200 of them.Copy !req
121. JFK smiled, thanked him, lit one up.Copy !req
122. Then he opened his desk drawer, pulled
out a long piece of paper and signed it.Copy !req
123. It was a decree banning all Cuban
products from the United States.Copy !req
124. And ever since then, we've had
an embargo against that mosquito . . .Copy !req
125. . . . of an island 90 miles away,
which has never worked . . .Copy !req
126. . . . while long before, we threw out
our anachronistic policies towards . . .Copy !req
127. . . . Russia and China that are thousands
of miles away and far more complex.Copy !req
128. If it becomes public, the reaction
in the Cuban-American community . . .Copy !req
129. - . . . and on the right will be harsh.
- if the Cubans make accommodations . . .Copy !req
130. - . . . before that—
- The Florida primaries are coming.Copy !req
131. - if this comes out—
- if it does, we'll bring out shovels . . .Copy !req
132. . . . and bury the Democratic candidates
in that little fiesta.Copy !req
133. You sure the country's ready for this?Copy !req
134. Who knows who's gonna be
sitting here next?Copy !req
135. Who knows what will happen
after Castro?Copy !req
136. All I know for sure is there's a moment
here. Before I'm gone and he's gone . . .Copy !req
137. . . .I am not gonna let it pass.Copy !req
138. Oh, what a beautiful morning.
Oh, what a beautiful day.Copy !req
139. - You wanted to see me?
- That is highly improbable.Copy !req
140. Been here three weeks.
Bring me in, coach.Copy !req
141. - All right. Know Senator Rafe Framhagen?
- I don't like this already.Copy !req
142. He called the president, Leo,
and then me. Guess what that means.Copy !req
143. None of you wanted to talk to him,
which leaves me.Copy !req
144. - See? You do know the senator.
- What's not to know?Copy !req
145. Brilliant, bilious, impossible,
fires staffers for putting . . .Copy !req
146. - . . . paper clips backwards on briefs.
- Which way is backwards?Copy !req
147. - And that one other thing.
- I heard. Practically day and night.Copy !req
148. A wooden leg.
Passes out in his car, they say.Copy !req
149. There you are, your assignment.
Godspeed and I'chaim.Copy !req
150. Oh, yeah, you got all the indications,
all right.Copy !req
151. - Indications of what?
- Subterranean termites.Copy !req
152. You know, these fellas outnumber us
a thousand to one.Copy !req
153. Pile all them up and all us up, 10 times
the weight of all the folks in the world.Copy !req
154. Probably swarmed in through a crack
I saw in the foundation.Copy !req
155. - There was damage under a window.
- Swarmed? What window?Copy !req
156. - The one near that weird round room.
- The Oval Office?Copy !req
157. People appeared from every which way.
Never seen such a thing.Copy !req
158. - May be some evidence here.
- Hey, that's a 200-year-old mural.Copy !req
159. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
160. - How many rooms you got here?
- One hundred and thirty-five.Copy !req
161. - I better start. This may take a while.
- What do you plan to do?Copy !req
162. Sentricon Termite Colony
Elimination System should do it.Copy !req
163. - What does it involve?
- Dig holes, install stations . . .Copy !req
164. . . . drop in a few grams of Recruit II
and wait.Copy !req
165. Okay, hold on one second.
I'm coming with you.Copy !req
166. Mr. Senator, Cliff Calley's here.Copy !req
167. I've got a copy of his travel itinerary.Copy !req
168. The senator will see you now.Copy !req
169. - Thanks for taking care of that.
- You got it.Copy !req
170. Yeah, come on in, son.
What are you drinking?Copy !req
171. Diet Coke will be fine.Copy !req
172. Diet Coke. No, that's a Georgia drink.Copy !req
173. In Florida, we drink orange juice.Copy !req
174. Fresh. Shipped up every week.
Vitamin C.Copy !req
175. We can inject it with something
if you like.Copy !req
176. - So they sent you.
- I have that privilege, senator.Copy !req
177. I remember you. Yeah, we breed
lawyers around here like minks.Copy !req
178. Except we can't wear you
in the wintertime.Copy !req
179. Well, here's Linda Lee.
Do me a favor, darling.Copy !req
180. Would you freshen mine up too?Copy !req
181. That is a sashaying piece
of pulchritude, isn't it?Copy !req
182. Well, some people say that beauty
and brains don't go together.Copy !req
183. Well, I'm talking smart pulchritude
around here.Copy !req
184. - You know why you're here?
- There's the water table . . .Copy !req
185. . . .in the Everglades,
the hurricane damage on the Gulf.Copy !req
186. They didn't tell you.Copy !req
187. - I'm sorry, sir?
- Of course not.Copy !req
188. Send ignorance to combat truth, huh?
All right.Copy !req
189. Now, you go back over there,
and you tell those people . . .Copy !req
190. . . . those people the senator graciously
tried to call—Copy !req
191. They didn't bother to call
the senator back. You tell them . . .Copy !req
192. . . . that I've heard it too, the rumor.Copy !req
193. - What rumor?
- It's that Castro thing.Copy !req
194. And somebody knowledgeable
better come see me right quick.Copy !req
195. Back when Leo was chief of staff,
I could heckle him a little.Copy !req
196. We used to bend our elbows together
right in this room.Copy !req
197. Down home, back when.Copy !req
198. And now he's gone.Copy !req
199. - Probably only that NSA gal, huh?
- Gal?Copy !req
200. - You like repeating things, son?
- I'm getting good at it.Copy !req
201. You go back a couple of years,
get her out of those power suits . . .Copy !req
202. . . . back into the Sunshine State,
that would be some serious pulchritude.Copy !req
203. - But she's a buttoned-up babe now.
- Babe?Copy !req
204. - Bet she knows what's going on.
- You mean Kate Harper.Copy !req
205. Just a warning shot across the bow.Copy !req
206. If some heroic new Cuban agenda
is being contemplated . . .Copy !req
207. . . .by the Bartlet administration,
it's gonna backfire.Copy !req
208. Now, the House may have that bill that
waters down the embargo, but my . . .Copy !req
209. . . . Cuban-American constituents will
just raise bloody hell over that bill . . .Copy !req
210. . . . with Democrat candidates.
No such bill will see the light of day . . .Copy !req
211. . . . out of my commerce committee.
Did you get that . . .Copy !req
212. . . . or do you wanna repeat some of it?Copy !req
213. C.J., Cliff's here.Copy !req
214. - What's next? That was fun.
- You saw the senator.Copy !req
215. - I'm full of vitamin C.
- Nothing stronger?Copy !req
216. - I think his juice was spiked.
- What did he want?Copy !req
217. - I'm not sure.
- You're not sure?Copy !req
218. This repeating thing must be contagious.
I assumed it was gonna be . . .Copy !req
219. . . .a doddery senator who ran out
of paper clips . . .Copy !req
220. . . . but it seemed to be
about Fidel Castro.Copy !req
221. - You got my attention.
- A rumor about his—Copy !req
222. Health. Whether he's alive or dead.Copy !req
223. He was wondering if the White House
was behind it or up to something.Copy !req
224. What is this city, just one big game
of telephone?Copy !req
225. - Anything I should know?
- There's a rumor about his health.Copy !req
226. Yeah. One other odd thing.Copy !req
227. He suggested I talk to Kate Harper.Copy !req
228. She's deputy national security advisor.Copy !req
229. - I don't think that's it.
- Why is that?Copy !req
230. I can't exactly put my finger on it.
He indicated something other than that.Copy !req
231. More.Copy !req
232. Margaret, get me Kate Harper.Copy !req
233. Let me guess, then.
Back to the bench for me?Copy !req
234. This is disgraceful.
I'm actually starting to like you.Copy !req
235. She's gone for the day.Copy !req
236. - Toby!
- Toby!Copy !req
237. Does the White House have knowledge
about Mr. Castro's health?Copy !req
238. The last time we had firsthand
knowledge of Castro's health was 1959.Copy !req
239. We heard he cancelled a rally to denounce
the U.S. on Malecón Boulevard . . .Copy !req
240. . . . and several posters of him
have been removed from the capitol.Copy !req
241. Well, that could mean he's dead
or the communist government . . .Copy !req
242. . . . took down posters, planning to replace
them with more flattering photos . . .Copy !req
243. - . . .like six years ago.
- The vice president said he voted . . .Copy !req
244. . . . for the embargo in 1996
and will continue to support it . . .Copy !req
245. . . . until this horrific dictatorship
is brought to its knees.Copy !req
246. - Is he speaking for the White House?
- He said that at a campaign rally.Copy !req
247. If Castro is not in control,
how will the White House react?Copy !req
248. - We don't react to hypotheticals.
- Post Castro . . .Copy !req
249. . . . would we declassify Cuba
a terrorist state?Copy !req
250. Only if they reacted to hypotheticals,
which they and I both don't. Yeah, you.Copy !req
251. Steve. The CIA issued a report
that Cuba has replaced . . .Copy !req
252. . . . East Asia as the destination
for pedophiles and sex tourists.Copy !req
253. No, I can't issue you a visa.
Next question.Copy !req
254. Hoynes' campaign may be collapsing,
but Russell says he wouldn't rule out . . .Copy !req
255. . . . military intervention to secure
a democratic transition in Cuba.Copy !req
256. Yeah, they're campaigning in Florida.Copy !req
257. What about Santos? With his
surprising victory in California—?Copy !req
258. If you wanna cover the campaign,
take your questions to Florida.Copy !req
259. - Steve, please.
- Here in Washington . . .Copy !req
260. - Thank you.
- . . . Senator Framhagen said the worst . . .Copy !req
261. thing a president can do
is send mixed messages to Cuba.Copy !req
262. - She's a blond now.
- I wasn't gonna come.Copy !req
263. And stand up a former CIA compatriot
after all these years?Copy !req
264. It's a time I'd like to forget.Copy !req
265. It was a time of "splendor in the grass,
glory in the flower . . .Copy !req
266. - . . . but we will grieve not—"
- What do you want, Andy?Copy !req
267. We're not running off the reservation
ops anymore. We've changed.Copy !req
268. - Second time I've heard that today.
- No more dirty tricks . . .Copy !req
269. . . .no more messing with elections,
even for Cabrera.Copy !req
270. - Still, our assignment's the same, Kate.
- You came here to tell me this?Copy !req
271. No. I just wanted to warn you guys
over there that it's a big mistake . . .Copy !req
272. . . .to dig into the Cuban tar pit
once again.Copy !req
273. - What are you talking about?
- Leo McGarry.Copy !req
274. - What about him?
- Can't touch down in Cuba . . .Copy !req
275. . . .at his level. Whatever the precautions,
word will leak out.Copy !req
276. Everyone's on the take or has an agenda
or is an agent or a wannabe.Copy !req
277. I don't know anything about it.Copy !req
278. - You played that beautifully.
- I played nothing.Copy !req
279. Whether you're lying or covering
because you can't or won't tell me . . .Copy !req
280. . . . or you're telling the truth . . .Copy !req
281. . . . the one thing we learned there,
you can't beat history.Copy !req
282. The Bartlet administration can't pull
this off. It's not gonna work.Copy !req
283. The president will be hung out to dry.Copy !req
284. C.J., why didn't anyone tell me?Copy !req
285. - Excuse me?
- I'm the deputy NSA . . .Copy !req
286. . . . and I don't know
Leo McGarry's in Cuba?Copy !req
287. Yeah. How did you find out?Copy !req
288. It's 90 miles away.
It's like driving to Baltimore.Copy !req
289. - There's 3.5 million Cuban-Americans—
- Do you know Senator Framhagen?Copy !req
290. Florida. He is Florida. I knew him
when I was stationed there in '95.Copy !req
291. It was my first posting.Copy !req
292. Why would he say to ask you
about Castro's health?Copy !req
293. I don't know. Maybe because he
assumed I'd know about Leo's trip.Copy !req
294. - How close is your source?
- Very.Copy !req
295. Look, C.J., we don't wanna get stuck
in the muck down there again.Copy !req
296. Hey, look who's back.Copy !req
297. She caught on, Leo.
I had to spill the beans.Copy !req
298. You talked to him? How was he?Copy !req
299. He's alive, and I think he might
finally be ready to deal . . .Copy !req
300. . . . and he can talk and talk. He agrees
on the need for further private . . .Copy !req
301. . . . unpublicized discussions bilaterally.Copy !req
302. The man's indefatigable. No wonder
he's held sway for coming on 50 years.Copy !req
303. Still smoking cigars.Copy !req
304. I'm not sure he's ready to fight
for justice and the American way.Copy !req
305. I am optimistic, but we've been
down this road before.Copy !req
306. - I don't wanna fail again.
- It's a beginning, an opening.Copy !req
307. Just thank God he didn't ask
about baseball.Copy !req
308. What he and I both think about it
could've blown the whole thing.Copy !req
309. He saw you pitch at the Orioles game.
He had pointers.Copy !req
310. - I'm sure.
- My fear is there seem to be rumors . . .Copy !req
311. . . . more rumors,
and rumors within rumors.Copy !req
312. With Cuba, everyone seems to have
secrets, and they never stay that way.Copy !req
313. Yeah, you're right. We don't need
to paint this guy as a hero.Copy !req
314. It's time to deal with him.
Let's put together a fail-safe response . . .Copy !req
315. . . . on how and what to announce
about Castro's health . . .Copy !req
316. . . . about Leo's trip, then sound out public
and congressional reaction . . .Copy !req
317. . . . and the candidates, what to do
about its impact on the primaries . . .Copy !req
318. . . . and the general election
and Cuba's response.Copy !req
319. - How soon?
- How about the end of the day?Copy !req
320. - Are they here yet?
- They're in your office.Copy !req
321. - Can you get me Kate Harper's file?
- I can't.Copy !req
322. - Why not?
- That's top-secret, above my level.Copy !req
323. - What do we have to do?
- Formal letter of request, signed by you.Copy !req
324. Write it. Forge my signature.
You can do the president's.Copy !req
325. But his is simple, just a sweeping
garland formation. Yours—Copy !req
326. - Mine is what?
- Angular . . .Copy !req
327. . . . aggressive.
I mean, your signature . . . .Copy !req
328. See the baseline,
the unevenly distributed pressure . . .Copy !req
329. . . . some countermovement
to the natural flow—?Copy !req
330. - Which means?
- You're concealing something.Copy !req
331. What, are you a counterfeiter,
a handwriting analyst?Copy !req
332. My great uncle was,
after the Civil War.Copy !req
333. He was a dashing man
with a mustache and one arm—Copy !req
334. By now, we could have written it, and
I could have signed it. Just go, do it.Copy !req
335. How's it going? Give me
a progress report. Cliff?Copy !req
336. There's an opportunity to use the rumors
of Castro's health as deflection.Copy !req
337. Keep them coming. It's been
a Marx Brothers comedy anyway . . .Copy !req
338. . . . his illnesses and his 29 doctors
who claim he'll live forever.Copy !req
339. Yeah, I'm not sure how long
that will fly.Copy !req
340. There's support in the House to curb
the embargo from blue and red states . . .Copy !req
341. . . . Midwestern Republicans ready
to jettison the trade part.Copy !req
342. Cuba's an economic disaster area.Copy !req
343. - It needs American grain, meat—
- Can you believe this guy Cabrera?Copy !req
344. Introducing the vice president.
Congressman. Seventh, eighth term.Copy !req
345. Once ran an ad standing next to
a picture of himself with the caption:Copy !req
346. - "Convicted Felon. "
- Thanks for the lesson in local color.Copy !req
347. Keeps winning every two years,
saying the same thing.Copy !req
348. Then he gets here, doesn't do
or say a damn thing.Copy !req
349. Did you call Josh and Donna? I wanna
take the temperature in the campaigns.Copy !req
350. Somebody should make this
son of a bitch obsolete.Copy !req
351. Vice President Bob Russell, front-runner
of the Democratic presidential...Copy !req
352. - Has the exterminator been here?
- There was a man yesterday.Copy !req
353. The Sentricon Termite Colony
Elimination System?Copy !req
354. - Matter of fact, yes.
- We don't wanna quarrel . . .Copy !req
355. - . . . with another company's product—
- It's not why we're here.Copy !req
356. We can talk about the individual
species like RIFA.Copy !req
357. - R-l-F-A?
- Red imported fire ant.Copy !req
358. We're members of IFAHI to thwart
the spread of RIFA. We have charts . . .Copy !req
359. . . .to show you of the spread
of the cinch bug . . .Copy !req
360. . . . the black-legged tick,
the viral-spreading mosquito . . .Copy !req
361. . . . and this very year's infestation
by the Mormon cricket. Here.Copy !req
362. We're entomologists. While some control
is necessary, these others . . .Copy !req
363. . . . lost sight of how insects help
preserve diversity of life . . .Copy !req
364. . . . and are essential
to the ecological web.Copy !req
365. Insects can spread disease, but they help
the study of how diseases are spread.Copy !req
366. The newest discovery is they
can play a crucial part in learning . . .Copy !req
367. - . . . about our own history.
- Like this great White House.Copy !req
368. Think Abigail Adams and the War
of 1812, the burning of this building.Copy !req
369. Now, I'll wager we go into these walls,
and we will uncover . . .Copy !req
370. . . . all kinds of information
as yet unknown.Copy !req
371. That will help in solving crimes.
Forensic entomology, my special field . . .Copy !req
372. . . .is invaluable in measuring exposure
of the victim . . .Copy !req
373. . . . whether Homo sapiens, Felis catus,
Canis familiaris...Copy !req
374. . . .to determine the time of death
and even the method of murder.Copy !req
375. You've gotta make a decision.Copy !req
376. Do you simply want to wipe out the
infestation or use these little pioneers . . .Copy !req
377. . . .to journey into our past
and unveil secrets for the first time?Copy !req
378. - You got it?
- They checked my clothes . . .Copy !req
379. . . . patted me down, searched my shoes,
my best shoes, practically x-rayed me.Copy !req
380. But they didn't do any
personality profile?Copy !req
381. - That didn't even occur to me.
- What were they thinking?Copy !req
382. Here it is.Copy !req
383. Kate Harper.Copy !req
384. - Close the door?
- Yes.Copy !req
385. - C.J.
- Charlie, tell me you have good news.Copy !req
386. - I'm not sure.
- Entertain me, enlighten me . . .Copy !req
387. . . . raise me up to the rooftops, please.Copy !req
388. I think this has more to do
with the lower depths.Copy !req
389. - It's coming back to me now. Bugs.
- Rhinotermitidae.Copy !req
390. - Is that the guy I saw with the gizmo?
- It could be.Copy !req
391. - And he found—
- Rhinotermitidae.Copy !req
392. - We're not tenting the White House.
- No, we're drilling walls.Copy !req
393. There's a group suggesting we
observe them before killing them.Copy !req
394. - The ones with the animatronic—?
- "Insectilatronic. "Copy !req
395. They say we can find out things
from termites about lumber conditions . . .Copy !req
396. . . . when the White House was built,
burned, rebuilt . . .Copy !req
397. . . . what presidents smoked,
ate, smelled like.Copy !req
398. This, Charlie, is not a tough choice.Copy !req
399. For once, our policy can be clean
and simple. Just kill the damn bugs.Copy !req
400. - Who is this?
- Toby. I wanted to ask you . . .Copy !req
401. - . . . about this Castro thing.
- I can't hear you.Copy !req
402. Donna, it's Toby. Toby Ziegler.Copy !req
403. - It's so crazy in here. Wait a minute.
- Hello?Copy !req
404. Toby?Copy !req
405. - Josh.
- Toby?Copy !req
406. - We're not talking to each other.
- Then what's making my phone ring?Copy !req
407. The thing's got a mind of its own.Copy !req
408. What's with Castro?
What's going on with that?Copy !req
409. - That's what I wanted to ask you.
- I can't hear you. It's crazy down here.Copy !req
410. - It's Guatemala.
- Hello?Copy !req
411. - I lost you. How are you?
- What's going on down there, Donna?Copy !req
412. You won't believe it.
This state, it's unreal. It's like—Copy !req
413. - Guatemala?
- Hey, that's good. You a speechwriter?Copy !req
414. - What's the impact of this Castro thing?
- It's unbelievable.Copy !req
415. Castro's become Che. Is he alive
or dead? He's wallpapering the primary.Copy !req
416. - Wait, what? Donna, hold on a second.
- Toby, I've got—Copy !req
417. Josh?Copy !req
418. Josh? Josh.Copy !req
419. C.J., I should apologize for you
not knowing about the Cuba trip.Copy !req
420. - Yes, you should.
- I thought it was worth the risk.Copy !req
421. - I still do.
- While you were gone, we all got calls . . .Copy !req
422. . . . from Rafe Framhagen. I sent Cliff over,
who said the senator . . .Copy !req
423. - . . . may have been three sheets.
- Yeah?Copy !req
424. And he had questions about Kate Harper
and Cuba, as if she knew something.Copy !req
425. - Concerned? Why don't you pull her file.
- I did.Copy !req
426. This has been the long way
around to what?Copy !req
427. - A lot of blackout.
- Are we getting sidetracked?Copy !req
428. Kate Harper, Navy. Father, Navy.
Formerly CIA, wasn't it?Copy !req
429. Africa, blackout. Kosovo, blackout.
Iran, blackout. She got around.Copy !req
430. You're in it.Copy !req
431. - That's impossible.
- Turn the page.Copy !req
432. 1995, Florida.Copy !req
433. But why is it in her file?Copy !req
434. - CIA must have been monitoring us.
- The rest was blacked out. What is it?Copy !req
435. We had a gathering of the Bay of Pigs
veterans from both sides . . .Copy !req
436. . . . for the first time,
and it was remarkable.Copy !req
437. These aging warriors, enemies, fellow
countrymen. And I had high hopes . . .Copy !req
438. . . . we were pulling together,
strand by strand, a dialogue with . . .Copy !req
439. - . . . the Cuban-Americans and Cubans.
- I never heard this.Copy !req
440. There was also an election recount
underway. Congressman Cabrera.Copy !req
441. - Yeah, I know the one.
- I was secretary of labor . . .Copy !req
442. . . . and Rafe Framhagen showed up,
and we started drinking.Copy !req
443. And I made a fool of myself.
Talk about three sheets to the wind.Copy !req
444. And when I got back, it was over.Copy !req
445. It had all fallen apart.
I should have never left.Copy !req
446. So I vowed then . . .Copy !req
447. . . . if there was ever a chance,
I'd put it back together.Copy !req
448. If we had a cigarette, a lighter
and a password, we'd be back 10 years.Copy !req
449. But it's so loud in here now,
I'd never hear the password.Copy !req
450. Don't you miss it . . .Copy !req
451. - . . . when you were undercover?
- I miss the excitement . . .Copy !req
452. . . . dressing up and down,
disappearing into character.Copy !req
453. And now look at you.Copy !req
454. Wearing suits and sitting
in meetings with amazing people.Copy !req
455. You've changed.Copy !req
456. I saw your ex-husband not long ago.
He's still down there.Copy !req
457. Why'd you call me again?Copy !req
458. I wanted to apologize.Copy !req
459. For what?Copy !req
460. I knew back then what was going on.Copy !req
461. What it was doing to you.Copy !req
462. - I should've protected you better.
- Would've, should've.Copy !req
463. But it's— There's more to it than that.Copy !req
464. It's too late now, Andy.
It was too late then.Copy !req
465. I know. I know.Copy !req
466. Part of my 12 steps,
to make a fool of myself.Copy !req
467. Especially to those people who, maybe,
I made fools of.Copy !req
468. Thank you.Copy !req
469. They have all of it down there now,
Kate.Copy !req
470. Leo McGarry's trip, the deal
he's trying to make with Fidel.Copy !req
471. They're gonna break the story.Copy !req
472. - You're sure?
- Yeah.Copy !req
473. Don't get caught in this again
when it goes to hell.Copy !req
474. Cuba. It scums everybody it touches.Copy !req
475. I'm walking back here thinking, "This is
a building I never thought I'd be in. "Copy !req
476. Maybe it's a place you never quite
get used to.Copy !req
477. Once, my dad was gone with the
Pacific Fleet. My mom and I were left . . .Copy !req
478. . . .at the Key West Naval Base.Copy !req
479. There was no housing,
so for a while . . .Copy !req
480. . . . we lived in this boiling trailer
with no air conditioning.Copy !req
481. The wind shook it at night
and rocked me to sleep.Copy !req
482. It's a long way from here.Copy !req
483. Kate, what's going on?Copy !req
484. Tomorrow, Cuban-American factions
are going public with Leo's visit to Cuba.Copy !req
485. Mr. President, it's clear that the news
of Leo's trip is going to break.Copy !req
486. Don't know if it'll be audio, eyewitness,
photos, but we know it's coming.Copy !req
487. - CNN will get it, then the networks.
- A delightful prognosis.Copy !req
488. We can spin it. It was Cuban
representatives who initiated . . .Copy !req
489. . . . the conversations. We listened,
agreed to and accepted nothing.Copy !req
490. - I hate that.
- We must look at the consequences.Copy !req
491. The South Carolina and Florida primaries
are two weeks away.Copy !req
492. There will be no mercy
in the Cuban-American community.Copy !req
493. It won't go away
by the general election.Copy !req
494. - Russell will find a way.
- I can hear his sound bites already.Copy !req
495. Santos is a mystery. I don't know
what he'll do. Bet he doesn't either.Copy !req
496. Republican candidates?
Walken and Vinick?Copy !req
497. Vinick probably agrees with you,
but publicly, he'll step back . . .Copy !req
498. . . . and let Framhagen and Walken
put on war paint . . .Copy !req
499. - . . . and gather around Little Bighorn.
- Wasn't the image I was hoping for.Copy !req
500. So Republicans and Democrats alike
will distance themselves . . .Copy !req
501. . . . from this act of madness
of the Bartlet administration.Copy !req
502. I think it's time we looked beyond
regrets and elections, sir.Copy !req
503. It's here, isn't it?Copy !req
504. Another cliff. Yes, sir.Copy !req
505. Toby?Copy !req
506. - Jump.
- C.J.Copy !req
507. Get me some airtime. I'll have
a few words with the nation.Copy !req
508. - When?
- As soon as possible.Copy !req
509. - We won't wait for the story to break.
- It's fair to let the candidates know.Copy !req
510. - I agree.
- Sir, the vice president is still waiting.Copy !req
511. Get Senator Vinick on the phone,
and then Congressman Santos.Copy !req
512. Then I'll see the vice president.Copy !req
513. Leo.Copy !req
514. Thanks for coming all the way
over here.Copy !req
515. Been a long time.Copy !req
516. Care to join me?Copy !req
517. No, I'm only fooling.
I know you don't any longer.Copy !req
518. Kind of wish more people
around here did.Copy !req
519. - What's Hemingway's word?
- "Utilize. " How'd you find out?Copy !req
520. Boat captain, deckhand, limo driver,
the gas attendant. Does it matter?Copy !req
521. It seems to me we got a lot more done
around here when we were utilizing.Copy !req
522. Got along better too.
Left and right, elephant and mule.Copy !req
523. These days, that's one place where
my point of view is the minority.Copy !req
524. Not the only place, senator.
Demographics are changing in your state.Copy !req
525. You were Scotch, as I recall.
The good stuff. Just the way it poured.Copy !req
526. Younger Cuban-Americans don't care.Copy !req
527. The Cuba effect on Florida is going
the way of too much utilizing.Copy !req
528. So for the younger Cuban-Americans,
your solution is to have . . .Copy !req
529. . . . an old man with MS send another
old man who's had a heart attack . . .Copy !req
530. . . .to check on the health
of a third old man.Copy !req
531. A man who could be, should be,
and, God willing, soon will be dead.Copy !req
532. It's too late for the Bartlet administration
to go legacy shopping in Cuba, Leo.Copy !req
533. If I had come to you first,
what would you have said?Copy !req
534. No.Copy !req
535. We had to change the calculus,
or you'd bury us.Copy !req
536. - I am gonna bury you, Leo.
- After 45 years, it's time to admit . . .Copy !req
537. . . . the embargo isn't a reason for
or a solution to Cuba's tragic reality.Copy !req
538. The reason for Cuba's tragic reality
is Fidel Castro . . .Copy !req
539. . . .a vicious dictator who refuses
to allow free press, free elections . . .Copy !req
540. . . . who jails even the slightest opposition.
You wanna legitimize his government.Copy !req
541. The good ship Legitimacy
sailed decades ago.Copy !req
542. He's there,
has been for a very long time.Copy !req
543. The State Department lists Cuba
as a terrorist state.Copy !req
544. The State Department, Leo.Copy !req
545. The FBI just busted a Cuban
espionage operation, arrested 10 spies.Copy !req
546. When we've tried reforming
a communist regime . . .Copy !req
547. . . . through embargo and severing
relations, we've always failed.Copy !req
548. When we sought change through
engagement and trade, we succeeded.Copy !req
549. What about the law, Leo?
Congress has codified the embargo.Copy !req
550. U.S. sanctions cannot be lifted
against Cuba until all political prisoners . . .Copy !req
551. . . . have been freed, until political parties
and labor unions have been legalized . . .Copy !req
552. . . . and free elections
have been scheduled.Copy !req
553. No American president can overturn
the will of the people.Copy !req
554. It's not the will of the people.
It's a few loud and shrinking number . . .Copy !req
555. - . . . of Cuban-Americans.
- Who came here stripped of everything.Copy !req
556. Who floated over here in little,
leaky boats, their kids in one hand . . .Copy !req
557. . . . and their dreams in another. And how
many of whom did we turn away—?Copy !req
558. No one— No one's disputing that.Copy !req
559. And who have become
monumentally successful . . .Copy !req
560. . . . and too many of whom have become
Republicans, right, Leo?Copy !req
561. But who we've also pandered to
for far too long.Copy !req
562. - I'm bringing a possible breakthrough.
- There's no such thing.Copy !req
563. We're starting with an executive order
to provide food, dollars through the U.N.Copy !req
564. The Department of Treasury liberalizing
business travel to Cuba . . .Copy !req
565. . . . working to involve Cuba in curbing
narco-trafficking and terrorism . . .Copy !req
566. . . . rather than treat them
as the problem.Copy !req
567. Now, there's the toothless,
gutless foreign policy . . .Copy !req
568. . . . we've all come to expect
from the Bartlet administration.Copy !req
569. Just give away the store, probably
billions of dollars, without getting . . .Copy !req
570. - . . .a single concession in return.
- Extradition treaty.Copy !req
571. - He'll resign the extradition treaty?
- We're talking.Copy !req
572. You're talking?
Sure, he'll romance you . . .Copy !req
573. . . . he'll waltz you around
until he gets what he needs . . .Copy !req
574. - Maybe he's legacy shopping too.
- . . . which is cash. He needs cash.Copy !req
575. That's why he's talking to you
in the first place.Copy !req
576. We finally got him where we want him,
on the verge of economic collapse.Copy !req
577. - That's what we said in 1963.
- He'll take your money, our money . . .Copy !req
578. - . . . and he'll renege.
- The rest of the world is already there.Copy !req
579. If we don't get our foot in, U.S.
business interests and your poor . . .Copy !req
580. . . . Cuban-Americans
will be left out in the cold.Copy !req
581. Oh, that is really good.
The Bartlet administration . . .Copy !req
582. . . .is gonna save Castro for the sake
of American business? That's rich.Copy !req
583. So you're gonna go to war so a few
geriatrics can get their cabanas back?Copy !req
584. That's the trouble with our policy.Copy !req
585. Your rigor mortis stance is holding
hostage a Cuban-American community . . .Copy !req
586. . . .you say you so love, and by proxy
it's held hostage the whole country.Copy !req
587. The world, time, has passed them by.
Castro won.Copy !req
588. Rafe, it's time.Copy !req
589. - It's long past time.
- Whatever dumb thing you do . . .Copy !req
590. . . .to prop up Castro will be reversed
next year, because if you do it . . .Copy !req
591. . . .you lose Florida in the election
and the presidency with it.Copy !req
592. You care more about American politics
than relieving the plight . . .Copy !req
593. . . . of the Cuban people,
just like in 1995.Copy !req
594. Which year was that?Copy !req
595. The one where Cabrera won
the election recount, and it turned out . . .Copy !req
596. . . . his sister-in-law, who worked for you,
was the chief monitor.Copy !req
597. Cabrera did win that election.Copy !req
598. He was a convicted felon, and you knew
at the same time we were meeting . . .Copy !req
599. - . . . talking with Castro's people.
- I came down there . . .Copy !req
600. - . . . and I remember we had a drink.
- We could have had a deal . . .Copy !req
601. - . . . ended all this insanity a decade ago.
- It was you who took me aside . . .Copy !req
602. . . . invited me for a drink. Now you're
gonna climb up on your high horse, huh?Copy !req
603. That's what I gotta live with.Copy !req
604. We were close once, back then.Copy !req
605. No, senator, we just drank back then.Copy !req
606. We were never close.Copy !req
607. - Hey.
- I was looking for you.Copy !req
608. President goes on the air any minute.
Thought I'd watch it down here.Copy !req
609. - Alone?
- Yeah.Copy !req
610. Cuba. Florida.Copy !req
611. You know a lot about them. You were
there in the '90s? 1995, maybe?Copy !req
612. - Yeah.
- Yeah.Copy !req
613. I was there only a few days . . .Copy !req
614. . . . and I can't remember much at all.Copy !req
615. Led me to lock myself away
for 30 days, dry out.Copy !req
616. But I believed then, and I believe now,
this fight is worth it.Copy !req
617. There's gonna be hell to pay tomorrow.Copy !req
618. If I'd only gotten it done 10 years ago,
Jed Bartlet could be spared it.Copy !req
619. The CIA would have never let
the embargo go away then.Copy !req
620. They're against ending it now.Copy !req
621. - What about you?
- I was in favor of it then.Copy !req
622. And now?Copy !req
623. I don't know.Copy !req
624. It's not about me. It's about
the president, what you want for him.Copy !req
625. And this is something.Copy !req
626. Yeah.Copy !req
627. Did we meet back then?Copy !req
628. Do you remember me?Copy !req
629. No.Copy !req
630. Do you remember me?Copy !req
631. - Where you going?
- My car, I think.Copy !req
632. - Okay, okay. Why don't I drive.
- No.Copy !req
633. Yeah, I think I'll drive.Copy !req
634. I'm fine.Copy !req
635. There you go.Copy !req
636. Okay, okay, that's good.Copy !req
637. - Where are you going?
- Why not drive off into the sunset?Copy !req
638. - Yeah, I think we missed it.
- Something happen to your eye?Copy !req
639. Well, you should see the other guy.Copy !req
640. - Where are you staying, at a hotel?
- On Calle Ocho. Got a suitcase.Copy !req
641. Pack it. Airport, if I can find it.Copy !req
642. - I'm gonna remember this.
- No, you won't.Copy !req
643. Yes, I will.Copy !req
644. No, but I will.Copy !req
645. I'm gonna put my head down.Copy !req
646. Just for a moment. Thank you.Copy !req
647. My fellow Americans, in 1961...Copy !req
648. President John F. Kennedy
bought some cigars.Copy !req
649. They happened to be
from a country called Cuba.Copy !req
650. And since that day,
nearly 45 years ago...Copy !req
651. no American has been able
to do it again.Copy !req
652. And it's time for that to change.Copy !req
653. This is not about cigars, of course, but
about our relationship with a country...Copy !req
654. that is only 90 miles away.Copy !req
655. Change is not going to come easy.Copy !req
656. It won't be a change without passionate
discussion and disagreement . . .Copy !req
657. . . . but a change there can,
and will, and must be.Copy !req
658. The Cuban people and the
Cuban-American people have suffered . . .Copy !req
659. . . . too long under intolerable
circumstances on both shores.Copy !req
660. My dream is that every one of
the hundreds of thousands of Cubans . . .Copy !req
661. . . . who draw lottery cards every year
to win one of the 20,000 slots . . .Copy !req
662. allowing them to come to America
in search of a better life and freedom...Copy !req
663. will finally have the chance to find
that freedom in their own country...Copy !req
664. and that the 1.5 million
Cuban-Americans who have...Copy !req
665. for so many decades,
longed to return to their homes...Copy !req
666. will finally have the chance
to once again...Copy !req
667. see the land of their fathers
and forefathers.Copy !req
