"Previously on The West Wing:" "Zoey is here." "She's starting Georgetown in the spring." "How would you feel about my going on a date with Zoey?" "I'm sorry?" " Stop pursuing me." " Respectfully, no." " She likes having her picture taken." " She doesn't like it." "She doesn't mind having it taken with me." "He may be good-looking and rich and well-schooled and French royalty and live basically in a castle, but..." "Oh, God." "At the exact moment of the equinox." " Doesn't work." " It does work." "It has to be the exact moment." " Doesn't work." " I've seen it." " I tried it." "It doesn't work." " You didn't do it at the exact moment." " I did." " When?" " Last September." " That was the autumnal equinox." " It only works for the vernal equinox?" " Yeah." " What's more likely?" " It doesn't work?" " Right." "It does." "I've seen it." "We've got pastrami from Krupin's." "It's tissue-paper thin." "Roast beef, corned beef, turkey, Russian dressing, coleslaw and seedless rye." "And winning the money of your coworkers." "This is what I call a night off." "Squeeze this piece of rye bread." "Now what do I do?" " Excuse me, Leo?" " Yeah." "Something true at vernal equinox would also be true at the autumnal equinox." " Why?" ""Equinox" means"equal night." Night and day are 12 hours long." "What does that have to do with it?" "It doesn't work." "I tried it." " Listen, a guy..." " Hang on." " C.J. believes that at the vernal equinox..." " And only at that moment." "You can stand an egg." "At the equinox, you can stand an egg on end." " Doesn't work." " You tried it?" "I don't need to." "You can't stand an egg on end." "The elements involved with creating an equinox have no connection to the center of gravity." " I've seen it." "I've seen guys make the ace jump out of their shoes." " I don't think it was the equinox." " Josh?" "Counsel's office wants to know if you can meet with a candidate tonight." " So can I take your seat?" " I miss Ainsley." "That's what the Counsel's office should get." "Another Ainsley." "A sexy conservative with first-rate law credentials and a strange name." " So can I take your seat?" " Who else is playing this game?" " Anyone with currency." "Let me in the game, sir, I beg of you." "Why are you so eager to get in this game?" "I enjoy poker, and your card skills are well-known around the building and frankly, I wanted to learn." " Seriously." "I enjoy poker." "This is a cash game, Debbie." "These are hard-working people blowing off steam and taking each other off coin." "We don't play for matchsticks, we don't play..." "Okay, can I ask you something?" "I forgot to have Charlie draw cash for me." "Could you float me a little...?" "I can play?" " Sir." " Leo." "C.J. swears that on the equinox, which is today, you can stand an egg on end." "Debbie?" " Thank you, Mr. President." " You can play." "Thank you, sir." " We just lost an unmanned spy plane." " Where?" "It was a Predator B UAV, 12 miles off Kaliningrad." "It's controlled by satellite, which can't always adjust to weather changes and this one veered off course and crashed inland." "That's why these are unmanned, right?" "All we lost was money?" "Aren't they saying detonate the plane?" "The plane was taking pictures of illegal nuclear transfers in the region." "We need the intelligence." "They don't think we'll get it again." "What do they want, me to call Chigorin, ask if we can get our spy plane back?" "Yes, sir." "Except you can't say "spy plane."" "You're serious." "They want me to call Chigorin?" " Yes." " And ask him for the plane back without telling him we were spying?" "State and the Pentagon have some ideas on how you might try that." " Do they?" " In the meantime, sir you wanna play some cards?" " Hang on." "Yeah, this isn't gonna work." "Toby." "Two." "Three." "I'm fine." " You're fine?" " I am." " Check." " Check." " Check." " Check." " Check." " Fifty dollars." " Fold." " Fold." " I'm out." " Out." "Take it." "Nothing like the mounting tension of a well-contested hand." "You were full of crap." "You had jack-high or something?" "I'll tell you, but it's gonna cost you 50." "Hi." "Good evening, Mr. President." " Did you get the eggs?" " Yeah." "Hang on." "Will, why are you dressed like an officer in the Air Force?" "I'm an officer in the Force." " A reservist?" " Yes, sir." " I didn't know." "Did you?" " He's First Lieutenant Will." "I had no idea." "What do you do?" " I work with JAG." " This is your weekend up?" " Yes, sir." " Good for you." "Where are you stationed?" "I'm stationed at Air Force Legal Services Agency at Bolling Air Force Base." "Tonight I'm going to Cheyenne." " Mr. President?" " They ready?" "No, sir." "Leo wanted you a moment." "Play my seat." " Are we getting somewhere?" " Oh, yeah." "You know, there was a thought that since Kaliningrad's the only noncontiguous Russian state, you can make like you were just informing Chigorin of a rescue mission that barely concerned him." "And what do I do when Chigorin tells me Hawaii's not really a part of America and he wants to change the alphabet to Cyrillic?" "Seymour, what does he do?" " What the hell." " Would you please." "I'm not gonna have you tell Chigorin that Kaliningrad's not part of Russia." "What area are we trolling in?" " What area?" " Yes." "We weren't spying on Russia." "We were spying for Russia." " We were spying for him." " Yes, sir." "Okay." "This phone call that you're gonna set up with Chigorin it's, like, for a White House bloopers reel or something?" " Just give us a couple of minutes." " All right." " Two things I want to put on your radar." " Yeah." "There was a bombing at a nightclub in Kuala Lumpur." "And they've got a suspect in Berlin who was trying to explode a device at the Brandenburg Gate." "Are the two related?" "I don't know, but there were two, so I wanted to tell you about it." "All right." " Check." " Check." "Fifty dollars." " Fold." " I'm out." "Make her prove it, Toby." "Show her there are no free lunches in a game." "Call." "Straight to the king." "Sorry about that." "I'll get her for you." "Here's an extra card." "That's the joker." "Oh, my God!" "Did you see that?" "Did you guys see that?" "We're not gonna need that three of clubs?" "At the podium in the pressroom, I hit the fifth row." "I don't believe that's true." " Really?" " It's a myth." "Well, there are 52 cards in this deck..." " Fifty-one." "The three..." " Dollar a card?" "Yes." "Sit down and play." "I'm dealing." " Excuse me, Josh?" " Yeah?" "The guy's in the Roosevelt Room." " Which guy?" " For the Associate Counsel job." "Deal me out for three hands." " Can I say something?" " Yeah." "This guy?" "Some would consider him handsome." "I don't, personally, because you're the only one I think is handsome." "But for the sake of appearances, so people wouldn't suspect I'd pretend I thought this guy was handsome if you hired him." "Of course, all along it'd be a lie because of how handsome you are." "And powerful." "Your sense of humor is a bit of a high-wire act." " You're trying to thread the needle." " And half of it you don't get." "Give me that." " Hector?" " Excuse me?" " Are you Hector?" " No, I'm Joe Quincy." "Sorry." "Can I just ask, are you saying it's Hector who's good-looking or...?" " This guy." "This guy." " Okay." " But not really, because it's only you..." " Yeah, yeah." " Excuse me." "Joseph." " Yes." " Josh Lyman." " Joseph Quincy." " Joe?" " Yes." " No, do you like to be called Joe?" " Yes." "Were you saying yes to that the first time?" "Yes." "Joe is fine." "It's what people call me." "It's funny." "It's what I was just saying." "The person who created the job opening, her name was Ainsley Hayes and she was a very attractive woman." "And I was saying we needed another woman with an unusual name and here you're a man, and your name is Joe." "You've gotta be asking yourself why I told you that story." " You have a joint JD/MBA." " Yeah." "What's a staff attorney do at the NYC Department of Transportation?" " Defend the city against civil claims." " Slipping in the subway?" " Slipping in the subway." " Banging your head on a turnstile?" "After a JD/MBA from Cal?" "I wanted to get trial experience right away." "Then associate counsel at Treasury then the solicitor general's office." "Why did you leave the office?" "You appointed a new solicitor general." " You weren't a political appointee?" " I answered a call from a headhunter." "I'm surprised we haven't met." " Excuse me." " I'll be back in a second." "You forgot to sign the bottom of the questionnaire, the SF-86." "Gotta sign your name." "If the president says yes, we're gonna set up the call in about 10 minutes." " What do we have?" " All right." "Best-case scenario is he lets our guys go and get it untouched by Russian hands." ""But President Bartlet, we have a terrific search-and-recovery team." "We'll go get that plane for you."" ""President Chigorin, I appreciate the offer but our UAVs have self-detonating capability and only our folks know how to make it deoperational."" ""Our folks." You really think I'd use those words with the Russian president?" "Say,"Sir, this UAV has proprietary American technology on it made by one of our leading aerospace companies." "We have to protect that."" ""Much as I have to protect Kaliningrad which brings us to the question:" "What the hell were you doing flying over it?"" " It had a multiple mission." " Did it?" " Exactly for this purpose." " What was the other mission?" "Taking satellite pictures of coastal erosion in the Baltic Sea." "I tell him it was an environmental mission." "It was an environmental mission." "And he's not gonna want to take pictures of erosion at Coney Island?" "No." "The Baltic Sea's shared by Sweden, Finland and Germany." "We were on an environmental mission for Finland?" "Yes, sir." "That's what we've come up with?" "It's what we're starting with." "We'll see how it goes." "Set up the call." " Sorry about that." " That's Teddy Roosevelt's Nobel Prize." "Yeah." "Don't forget to sign this thing." " They just had a whole..." " Yeah." "I'm sorry, tell me again why you left the solicitor's office?" " Lawrence Harmon brought in..." " He brought in new staff." " You've talked with Wells?" " Yes." " Oliver Babish?" " Met for a few hours the day before yesterday and for 45 minutes this morning." "They made you fill out the psychological part." " Yes." " Question one,"A, I do not feel sad." "B, I feel sad." "C, I am sad all the time, and I can't snap out of it." "D, I am so sad or unhappy that I want to kill myself."" "You chose A,"I do not feel sad."" " Yes." " Good." " Ever?" " No." ""No," you don't ever feel sad or"no"...?" " No, there are times when I feel sad." "Yet you checked the first box?" "It said,"I do not feel sad," and I didn't at the time I checked it." "Okay." "This'll just take another minute or so." " Dollar for every card that hits fifth row?" " Locking the door." "There's press around." "Five dollars if you hit the sixth." "There's a spot where the temperature is the same as it would be if you drilled through the Earth." "No, there isn't." "How about $6 if you use a face card?" " Yes, there is, the antipode." "If that's true, why can't it be that you can stand an egg on end at the equinox?" "Because you can't, ever." "And I say that neither of you can hit the fifth row." " At the same time?" " On three." " Down." "Get down." " Somebody's shooting!" "Stay down." "Stay still." " Is everybody all right?" "Ms. Cregg?" " We're all right." "Three shots, one hit." "Straight from the sidewalk." " Is the president in the Oval Office?" " You need to wait outside." " He's on?" " Yes, sir." "Let's go." "Mr. President, this is President Bartlet." " Mr. President." " Step away from the window." "Okay, I'm gonna have to call you back." "Back away, sir." " Oval's secure." " Bamboo Shoot's ready." "Bamboo." "They want me into the motorcade." " What's going on?" " You're all right?" " I'm all right." " These people are code word." " I was on the phone." " The translator." " He's got clearance." " Three shots were fired from the street at least one hitting the press briefing room." "We've got the suspect as well as a high-powered rifle." " Was anyone in the room?" " C.J., Toby and Will Bailey." " Where are they?" " They're fine." "You've gotta stay." " Nobody was hurt?" " They're fine." " You all right?" "What about you?" " We're fine." " Will, how many fingers am I holding up?" " Who's Will, sir?" "I don't know if you've met Ron, head of my detail." " Sure." " Lieutenant Bailey glad to see you alive, but it's code clearance." "I need you out of earshot." " Yes, sir." " Where's Charlie?" " He's in the building." " We're holding people now." "If he's heard, he's gonna be trying to get here." "We've gotta hold everybody so we can..." "If Charlie heard there were bullets, he's gonna overpower whoever's trying..." "Sorry, Mr. President." "Come here." "It's bulletproof glass in the windows, okay?" "You wanna kill me, you're gonna have to do it from inside the building." "Thank you, Mr. President." " You guys all right?" " Yeah." "I'm surprised your guys managed to keep Fiderer." "I thought she'd be the first one..." " No, here we are." " Are you all right, Mr. President?" "No one was hurt." "Someone shot at the pressroom from the sidewalk." " C.J. went there with Toby and Will." " Will's sitting outside and Toby and C.J. are standing right there." " Ron, someone's gonna report this." " Yes, ma'am." "Thank you." "I'm gonna need to take your blood pressure in a few minutes." "Thank you." "Ron, there were two incidents of terrorist activity earlier today." "A bomb in Malaysia and another in Berlin." "This is just a crazy guy, Leo." "There was just a third on the phone in Guam." "The head of insular affairs was picked off..." " Come on." " By a sniper, Mr. President." "Shut it down." "Crash it!" " Crash the building." " We're crashed." "This is the Oval Office." "Crash the West Wing." "Nevada-bravo-3-3-1." "Crash the West Wing." "The man fired several rounds before being overtaken...  ... by Secret Service agents and Park Police." "Witnesses say the shooter never entered the grounds...  ... but one bullet appears to have struck the window of a White House office." "All right, then, here it is:" ""An indeterminate number of shots were fired at the White House at..."" "I said I thought it was three shots, but I want for the agents to..." "Okay."At 9:23 p.m., striking the press briefing room."" "The weapon was a modified M16." "We haven't confirmed ballistics." "Tell your friends to stop saying it was an M16." "No confirmed reports, identity..." " All right." "The president was in the Oval Office." "We've initiated a standard lockdown and are back to conducting the business of the nation." "I'll ask him." "He wants to know if the president wants to say something funny." ""That's twice in four years." "Some of you guys must really be mad at me"?" "Something funnier than that, but yeah." "You're getting to see a show tonight." " Everything all right?" " Yeah." " What happened?" " A guy shot at the building a couple of times with a rifle." " Somebody shot the White House?" " Yeah." " From where?" " The street." "Pennsylvania Avenue." "Is anyone hurt?" "Was anyone hurt?" "No, but we're in a crash, a lockdown." " They're not gonna let you leave." " I heard." "You know, I thought I heard what sounded like gunshots while we were talking before, but I didn't..." "Did you hear the shots?" "No, but I heard a brass quintet playing"The First Noel" so I just assumed somebody somewhere was locked and loaded." "You know, not for nothing, but people that I talk to don't believe that story and the people that you'd like don't care." "They told me you're just here tonight." "Have to catch a plane?" "The shuttle." "I'll get the next one." "Does this happen often?" "Well, we don't know what this is yet." "We know that somebody shot at the building, though, right?" "Yeah..." "No, that's the first time it's happened to us, anyway." " They have a suspect?" " Yeah." " Is he white?" " I don't know." "Do they suspect terrorism?" "Well, he was shooting a modified M16." "It was terrorism." "I meant terrorism directed at..." " National terrorism." " He shot at the White House." " I think you know what I mean." " I have no idea why he shot at us nor, for that matter, do I have any reason to believe it was a he." " That's my assistant, Donna." " Yeah, we met before." "Excuse me a second." " What's going on?" " You were in the mess?" "They kept me until now." "C.J. 's all right?" " Where were you?" " I was in here." " You want anything?" " No." " I'm gonna get you some water." " I'm all right." "All right." "So, what do you think of this guy?" " I haven't been talking to him that long." " Okay." "I'm gonna..." "I'll be around here." "He's well-qualified, that's for sure." "He's personable, and he's confident." "But?" "It's the strangest feeling." "It's like a really good baseball player is in the other team's locker room for the first time." "You're the baseball player?" " He's the player." " In the other guy's locker room?" "Yeah." "I don't understand, are you writing poetry about this now?" " You asked me what I thought of him." " I know." "Can I say something?" "Can I call Keyworth and tell him you're gonna be calling?" "I'm fine." "I was in here." "I didn't even see it." "All right." "I'm not going anywhere." " What were we talking about?" " You don't have info about the suspect." "Right." "I got a letter today that said:" ""You're a lying liar." "You lie almost as well as Barflet."" "You know, black-white, rich-poor, North-South, odd-even there may not be anything that outpaces the hatred the Right feels for the Left or the disrespect the Left feels for the Right." "Donna got a letter yesterday that said:" ""I'm collecting guns you've banned, and there's a bullet with your name in each."" "Donna." "The guy's decided to focus his wrath on Donna." "He's never met Donna or spoken to her, and he's never met anyone who's met Donna or spoken to her." "How is it possible, right?" "How is it possible that he hates her so much?" "How can you not like Donna?" "She's from Wisconsin." "Anyway, 20,000 specific threats are made against U.S. targets every year." "And with all that it's the ones who don't give you advance notice that you're worried about." "I asked about terrorism before because of the lockdown." "Procedurally, it would be the thing to do if there'd been other incidents in the last few hours." "A bomb in Malaysia, another one in Berlin a few hours ago." "We might as well use this time for the interview." "White House Press Secretary C.J. Cregg said...  ... an indeterminate number of shots were fired at the White House...  ... at 9:23 p.m., and that at least..." "You can stand eggs on the equinox because the sun's gravity is lined up with the Earth's." "Draw a line from the center of the Earth to the sun and at any time, someplace on Earth is on that line." " Then maybe for us..." " Try." "Take an egg." "Doesn't work." " It's not the..." " Exact moment of..." " Yes." " What is the exact moment?" " I don't know, midnight?" " Midnight where?" "Maybe it isn't the moment of the equinox." "Maybe it's at some point during the equinox, but I've seen it." " Are we playing again?" " I'll get Ed and Larry." " Would you tell Josh we're back on?" " Yes, sir." "Did you know a day on the moon and a year on the moon are the same thing?" "I did." "I thought my reflexes, before, in the press room, were catlike." "The Sit Room watch officer has the Kremlin." "You guys playing again?" "Yeah, the game started up." "President Chigorin, it's Jed Bartlet again." "I'm sorry about being abrupt before, but I'll bet if you turn on CNN right now, you'll see..." "My goodness, there was a shooting." "There you go." "It's not a big deal, but they've shut us down for a little bit." "Well, I'm glad no one was hurt." "By the way, you know, when they crash the building, they don't crash all of it." "The Situation Room still works." "Yes, sir, I'm sure." "Mr. President, a little while ago, an unmanned B UAV drone crashed we think, somewhere inside Kaliningrad, as a matter of fact." "Apparently they don't respond, you know, quite the way you'd like when there's a sudden shift in the weather." "Mr. President, I wasn't told of a military mission over Kaliningrad." "Well, like I say, it was a UAV, it was taking satellite pictures of coastal erosion in the Baltic Sea." "The Finns know about this." "We'd like to send a special operations team 10 kilometers west of Borsakova to retrieve it." "Well, Mr. President, like yourself, I campaigned on the environment." "I'm sorry, sir?" "I campaigned on the environment, sir." " Are you getting that translation right?" " Yes, sir." "You campaigned on the environment, Mr. President." "Coastal erosion in the Baltic Sea." "I'll take a look at those pictures and send them to you with your UAV." "Well, the problem is, our UAVs have a self-detonating capability and our people know how to disarm it." "And I wouldn't want to put your guys at risk." "Well, given the circumstances I'm sure your experts wouldn't mind talking through the steps with our experts." "It's proprietary technology, Peter." "To view coastal erosion?" " I know it seems..." " Sir, I'm going to interrupt at this time to speak with my counterintelligence attaché." " Yes, Mr. President." " Thank you, sir." "This isn't working anymore." " Anything wild?" " Just the dealer." "Four, no help." "Six, possible straight." "Heart, possible flush." "Jack, no help." "And the Dave of Love for a pair of tens." "Tens bet." "You're particularly upbeat for someone who's been shot at twice in four years." "Am I?" "That's because I've got faith there, mi compadre." " Faith?" " The substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen." "Yeah, but I think what he's asking..." "Bump 10." "I think what he's asking is why on most other nights do you think the world's going to hell, but tonight...?" "We dip twice, eat gefilte fish?" "Susie Cream Cheese, do not attempt the Haggadah." "I know how to bless the soup too." "I'll raise your raise." " Out." " It's just the two of us." " Faith in what?" " In us." " The people in this room?" " And many, many, many others." " Will, you missing your plane?" " Not yet." "A military flight, doesn't leave till 12:30." " What's in Cheyenne?" " A number of us are being sent to investigate something that happened." "What happened?" "It sounds worse when you say it, because it makes people kind of nervous." "What happened?" "Two guys failed to follow through on an order to fire their rockets at what was thought to be an incoming ballistic missile from North Korea." "Turns out it was good they didn't, because the missile was a meteor." "And rather than being from North Korea, it was from, you know..." " Outer space." " Yeah." "What the hell happened?" "Two launch-crew officers in Minuteman Three silos picked up a signal of an incoming projectile, the speed, arc and trajectory of which suggested it was headed to New London, Connecticut." " From North Korea?" " Yes." "Why do we think, at this point, North Korea is attacking the East Coast?" "There are transcripts from the silo that show surprise was expressed at that." " I would think." " The base was at DEFCON Delta so the launch crew initiated response code Orion which calls for the first in a series of steps to arm their 50 Minutemen." " What's in New London?" " Trident." "The gum?" "The nuclear submarines." "Fifty Minutemen they're arming, and is anyone saying this doesn't make sense?" "Two guys in the silo." "The launch sequence went on for two minutes before they had confirmation it was a meteor." "But the guys were debating with launch control and the operations center and that gets sticky." "This is missile defense, this stuff has to work." "And they're sending in a team of lawyers to look into it." "Yeah, but we're scrappy." "A meteor fell, the result being two guys are gonna get court-martialed." "The only two guys who apparently thought it was strange that North Korea would attack submarines in Connecticut instead of, say, San Diego or Hawaii." "And if it had been a real attack would they still have been doing point-counterpoint with NORAD?" "We failed both on a mechanical and human level." " So tell me again what you have faith in." " Us." " Why?" " With what little time he has Will is going to defend these guys." "I don't think it is failing on a human level." "I've got ace-high flush." "Give me your money." "I've got 10s full of queens, give me yours." " Hey." " Who's out there?" "Zoey." " Oh, hey." " Hi." "Just stepping outside for some air." " They just let me in." " Everything's fine." " I wanted to check." "I was gonna call you." " Were you?" " Yeah." " You wanted to get together?" " To make sure you were alive." " Well, that's a step in my direction." " You wanna come inside for a minute?" " I have to study." "One of my finals is tomorrow." " Can you believe you're graduating?" " I can't." " That went fast." " It really did." "Is Chef Boyardee around?" " Why do you have to do that?" " I was asking." " We were having a nice..." " Sorry." " When tonight we should be thinking..." " How's tonight different?" "You were shot at." " Well, not me, but all the more reason..." " I'm going to France for three months." " When?" " After graduation." " For three months?" " Yeah." " For three months?" " It's 12 weeks." " When did you come up with this?" " He asked me a few days ago." "His family has a farmhouse in a vineyard near Avignon." "No press, no politics." "It's what I want to do." "It's great." "I just don't know why you're doing it with him." "I don't know why you have to..." "You've been out with plenty of women since we broke up..." " I have not." " You don't think I know?" "Every college student wants to tell me something I don't know." " And every time, I've been supportive." " Supportive how?" " I didn't even know you knew." " That's how." "Hey, you just told me." "I'm not the one using the student bodies of GW, Georgetown and AU as intelligence-gathering sources." "And UVA and Johns Hopkins, pal." "You're easy to spot." " Look..." " People like giving me information." " What do you want me to do?" " I want you to not go to France." "Why don't you like him?" "Because." "It's been four years in the White House." "Another being the daughter of a candidate." "Eight years as governor." "My grades get printed in the paper." "My boyfriends are in the paper." "I live and die with my parents' successes and failures." "And so do you." "Sometimes even more than me." "And Jean Paul doesn't." "He's happy." "He's just happy." "That's because he's got $500 million and no conscience." "No, it isn't." "He cares about things, and one of them is me." "And none of them are this, and that's appealing to me right now." "Yeah, I can understand that." "I gotta go study." " Sorry you got shot at again." " Thanks." " Mr. President..." " Peter..." " Unless there was a typhoon..." " I understand." "I meant..." "He's yelling at me pretty loud now." "I wasn't referring to the change in weather, sir." "The National Radar Center does not find any UAVs in the area you discussed." "It's Leo again." "The UAVs are designed to fly below military radar simply because the closer we get, the better the pictures." "I understand." "Now, what were you taking pictures of?" " Coastal erosion in the Baltic..." " There is simply no way an American UAV could have been near the Finnish..." " Yelling at Leo." " Sir..." "...part of the Baltic and end up crashing in Kaliningrad unless there was a typhoon." " Now, are you telling me...?" " Sir..." "We have experts too and an S-and-R team is looking for the UAV." " Don't do that." " You shouldn't do that." "We weren't flying in your airspace." "Kaliningrad is in my airspace, Leo and an S-and-R team has been sent 10 kilometers west to see if they can help find it." "They're gonna see it." "In five minutes, I'm telling the president to blow it up." "Feel free." "We were taking pictures of Kaliningrad." " Say that again, please." " We were taking pictures of Kaliningrad." "We take pictures of black-market nuclear materials being moved out the back doors of depositories and into trucks." "The materials are being sold to nongovernmental elements and, well, that's what we were doing." "Rogue engineers, unemployed military scientists, ex-KGB it's just as big a problem for you as it is for us but you're not dealing with it, so we were taking pictures of Kaliningrad." "We're gonna have to trust each other a little, Peter." "So we're gonna share the pictures, not the technology we used to get them." "Otherwise I'm detonating it, and neither of us see the pictures."
