"All right,listen,we had a deal,princess orion" "You want to wear that costume you gotta throw the coat over it" "But I'm not cold" "It's october" "But I'm hot" "Come on,you guys." "Let's go We're gonna be late" "There you go" "I'm already hot" "I know,I know" "Yeah..." "She's a bird,she's a plane she's off to pierce elementary" "All right.Have fun at school,kids" "Bye,dad" "Bye,daddy" "Bye-bye.See you" "Aww,missed it" "Everything okay?" "Yeah,fine" "You?" "Yeah" "I'm about to introduce our new national security advisor" "Mm" "I was wondering if you maybe would like to sit in" "I think anthony would really enjoy-- -oh,you remember?" "I'm gonngo see ken" "In baltimore-- -ken in baltimore" "Right" "The world series" "Should be a good game.Want to go?" "Yeah.I'll just blow this off" "You realize this will be my first night here without you?" "Just do what you normally do" "Fall dead asleep" "Mm-hmm" "Maybe we could work on that when you get back" "Sounds like a plan" "Well...see you tomorrow kiddo,okay?" "Have fun" "All right" "I hate the new guy" "You've known him two minutes" "That is long enough to know he is an unqualified kiss-ass who wears cheap cologne" "You're right" "Deputy director for latin america at state ambassador to venezuela,led the D.O.D. Policy board--what w- she thinking?" "They go way back to school" "Great" "They're bosom buddies and I have to answer to him" "I'm not the only one.." "who has a problem-- -justice and homeland... ..only answer to prado on domestic terrorism" "The president wants one point person on all security issues" "Give her a break" "Hey,kelly" "Hey" "Morning" "Anything special I should know?" "No,just the announcement.We'll take a few questions" "We already know the press agenda--the first latino on the job fluent in six languages,worked with the president years ago" "Great." "See you in there please join me in welcoming our new national security advisor anthony prado" "Thank you." "Thank you" "And thank you,madam president for your kind words" "I promise to serve you honorably and always provide my most honest judgment" "I know.And that's what worries me" "Madam president isn't it true that mr." "Prado recommended you for your first job out of law school?" "More like sold me into indentured servitude" "That firm worked me a hundred hours a week" "Now it's,uh,payback time mr." "Prado,do you think you'll approach your job differently because of your latino background?" "Uh,that's hard to say as I've never really approached a job from a white background" "Touch?" "Let me rephrase the question-- -sorry,no more questions" "The president has a meeting now" "Thank you for coming,everyone" "What's going on?" "U.S. Border patrol picked up a guy trying to cross the canadian border early this morning" "He had explosives in his car" "He's being transferred to fbi now" "We need to prepare for a real threat" "The subject-- real name is tariq azam-- was picked up three hours ago crossing the border at windsor,ontario using a false U.S. Passport-- alias douglas salib" "His real nationaty--saudi arabia" "Somehow azam evaded our watch list" "but we found out from the israelis-- -melanie,let prado lead" "Sorry.Not used to the new system" "What we know so far is that azam is an al-muharib operative trained at the shahid camp in lebanon" "Al-muharib always plans simultaneous attacks and always thematically linked" "How many targets have we identified exactly?" "Unfortunately,only one-- azam's" "His attack was scheduled for tomorrow-- halloween--at 1:00 in the afternoon" "Where?" "The alexander hamilton elementary school in springfield,missouri" "T.A.T.P. Explosives were hidden in the passenger seat two timing devices concealed in a spare tire along with blueprints of the hamilton school" "How many students there?" "360,ages 5 to 12" "If we're assuming a multiple-point attack projected casualties could be anywhere from 600 to a thousand dead" "All right,our biggest priority right now is to track down the rest of the cell" "The problem is we have no intercepts on azam from intelligence" "Also an active al-muharib cell always halts all communications at least ten days before an attack" "If we don't locate azam's coconspirators before 11 A.M. Tomorrow morning other bombs will go off,as no doubt planned" "More schools?" "Well,if children are their targets it could be parks,malls" "I recommend we raise the terror alert" "We do that,we tip off azam's coconspirators that he's in custody" "That's our only advantage" "I don't want anything leaked to the press about this threat until the rest of the cell is in custody" "The last thing we need is for them to speed this up or worse,for them to alter their targets" "Who knows about the threat?" "Congressional leadership" "Templeton and remarque are briefing the intelligence committee shortly" "We also had to inform the springfield local police and the mayor of springfield-- all advised not to talk to the press" "I'll fill kelly in." "Ma'am,it is fairly clear that the only way are going to find azam's coconspirators before tomorrow morning" "..is if he talks" "What are the chances?" "Everybody talks eventually,jim the question is will it be soon enough?" "the president today had to delay her family vacation to camp david when husband rod-- and this is sad-- pricked his finger trimming the white house rose garden" "Wait,what did he say?" "Make it louder hey,what's up?" "Series highlights?" "...The newtoday that president allen may give her husband rod a new cabinet post" "He will be secretary of making her breakfast" "Nice." "I hope your parents don't watch this stuff" "Yeah,well,they've stopped" "Really,and why is that?" "Because it's not funny" "Not funny?" "Man,they just made your daddy the secretary of makin' breakfast" "Whoa,man" "I thought you had a sense of humor" "You're gonna sit here and take this?" "Come on,horace,it's just stupid jokes" "Yeah,but they're about your dad" "Oh,is that why you're actin' all weird 'cause your dad's a big wuss?" "All right" "Hey,let it go" "Yeah,I guess being' a wuss runs in the family hey,hey!" "Hey,knock it off" "Cut it out" "Knock it off" "Break it up" "you've probably got some idea why we invited ourselves over this evening" "Well,it's not totally out of left field" "Well,frankly,we didn't expect congressman reinhold to retire" "We thought he'd stick around another term" "I know reinhold did,too" "Yeah" "Mmm." "Would you like something to eat?" "Please" "Yeah,sure" "You know,that's an amazing wife you've got there" "She spends her days putting murderers away and then she comes home and whips up a mean cheese spread" "Yeah" "But of course,she's following the brilliant example set by" "our attorney general" "Mm-hmm" "I learned everything I know from him as a prosecutor and a chef" "well you said that you came about reinhold." "Right." "If mike zamore wins reinhold's seat that would be a disaster" "And he's got the state party's backing?" "All the more reason to think outside the box" "You know.." "excuse me one minute" "Uh,where are you going,mackenzie?" "I just have to put the twins to bed I'll be right back" "But you're the one we came to see" "We want you to run for congress" "I am a student I was studying engineering is that how you learned how to make bombs?" "I don't know what you're talking about" "We know that you don't have a sister in green bay" "Do you have any other family in the united states?" "No." "No,I don't" "I've done over 200 interrogations" "This guy's not breaking anytime soon" "The shahid camp in bekaa valley-- azam trained there" "Maybe there's a paper trail" "We've already got our best team of interrogators on their way out of quantico right now" "They should be landing in half an hour" "What's the status of the camp?" "It's in a C.I.A. Overwatch" "We've been monitoring it since 2002" "Yields a lot of intel" "Ma'am,if I may-- -let's raid the camp" "We've got a team on the ground in jordan" "Black ops guys" "Overnight-- bust down the doors and pull out whatever we can find" "Justice already has this threat covered" "A covert operation like this is expensive it's risky and it could cost lives" "No.The president's plan makes sense" "It's likely azam met his conspirators in training" "And what's the one thing we know about thesguys?" "They keep the best records" "So we're just giving up on azam,then?" "We have 25 hours until bombs start going of and we have no idea where" "Keep up the interrogation but I am not trusting the safety of our children to what happens in that room" "I'm at a loss,melanie.What's she doing?" "Has mi-5 gotten into the mix?" "As far as they were concerned,he's an engineering student and a devout muslim" "And the bomb-making materials they found in his car is that enough for the president to class- what's his name?" "Azam" "To classify him as an enemy combatant?" "Not this president" "I can promise you that" "Yeah" "Don't forget you're scheduled to be on gordon blake's talk show tomorrow morning" "And we're in a crisis" "I mean,the public's gonna expect you to be swaddled in the american flag" "Swaddled,no" "I'm gonna very humbly say that the president is doing everything that she can to avert this terror threat" "Now you tell me,melanie will I be lying if I say that?" "I'll talk to her" "Good girl." "Go do it" "it would be unseemly" "I cannot be seen to be critical of the president when all of this is unfolding" "But you be ready to book a couple of shows next week because if one bomb goes off tomorrow..." "I'm gonna put this all on her shoulders" "The bekaa valley is technically a part of lebanon" "If they find out that our guys are going in there-- -we just have to make sure they don'T" "Ma'am" "The kids at hamilton elementary won't be going to school tomorrow" "The mayor of springfield got scared" "He notified the principal,who notified the parents" "Well,let's contain it.Try to keep it off the wire" "Too late." "A.P. Picked the story up already and they got a quote from the mayor confirming that it's terrorist-related" "He just tipped off azam's cohorts" "Well,he wasn't told why we were keeping this covert" "He doesn't need to know why.It should be enough the fbi told him to keep his mouth shut" "Look,I'm sorry.I have a dozen reporters hounding me for details" "Keep under wraps that we have azam in custody" "Okay" "Don't mention al-muharib,and don't bring up any other cell members or additional targets" "We handle this correctly we can convince the collaborators we don't know they're out there and .." "avoid a public panic" "All right." "Thanks" "Okay" "Jim,call prado and see if we can move up the launch from jordan" "I want to know what the risks are if we go in before nightfall" "Our 25-hour window may slam shut any second but there's a possible threat of loss of life" "Why weren't we informed about the threat on springfield?" "Well,believe it or not,the government doesn't always share every aspect of homeland security measures" "Could the government tell us how they learned of the threat?" "I mean,was it routine intelligence,was it an individual in custody?" "For security reasons,I can't answer that question-- -oh,come on,kelly,really" "you gotta be kidding me" "No,the most important thing.." "is that now that we know,we've taken every possible measure to avert the existing threat" "What about the new york stock exchange lambeau field?" "As I've said,steve,there's only one known target" "Can the white house confirm the safety of these and other locations?" "Come on,that's a loaded question and you know it" "Okay,put it another way" "Does that mean that the threat has been resolved?" "At this point,we don't know if it's an isolated target or part of a larger plot" "Kelly,terrorist groups have never before tried to attack a red state" "What do you think this means,them moving away from only targeting the blue states?" "I think it means we should stop thinking of ourselves as red states and blue states and start thinking of ourselves as the united states" "One guess why I asked you to make the trip up" "Uh,not for the pleasure of my company?" "you want mac to toss out the first ball the next opening day" "Not even close" "Frank hanford's contract is up in december" "We got a short list of ten" "You're at the top of it" "We want you to be the next commissioner of baseball" "Between your extensive legal background" "your leadership experience-- -my washington connections" "Sure" "Those entered the discussion" "But the truth is the league needs you,rod" "We're about legitimacy and integrity" "Here's your chance to make it to the bigs to make an impact on the game that you love" "You can't tell me you don't want to" "I have obligations" "Of course" "To the president,to my kids" "No first person has ever worked outside the white house" "Did mary todd lincoln ever have this good an offer?" "Think about it" "If you could keep me updated on any new intelligence that comes your way" "I'd really app-- -princess orion!" "Excuse me" "Amy,mommy is on the phone" "What did we say about that?" "I... forgot?" "I'm sorry" "Again,we are keeping this internal for now" "Sorry,mommy" "It's okay" "Vince." "Ohh" "Yes,ma'am" "Would you escort princess orion back to her galaxy?" "Mwah" "Of course I will" "You ready,amy?" "One,two,three!" "Operation orion is scheduled to begin in 45 minutes" "When should we have news?" "Within a couple of hours" "Homeland security is recommending that we raise the terror alert nationally at least until after halloween" "When the story hit the wires,schools began shutting immediately" "And I think if we don't do anything,we risk looking unresponsive" "How many schools have shut down exactly?" "About 40% of the elementary schools 30% of the middle and upper schools" "We don't have a number on how many parents are keeping their kids home" "Teachers are calling in sick in droves" "Is azam talking?" "He's still stonewalling" "Why should he talk when he's being wined and dined by the anti-torture statutes?" "Those statutes were written for a reason" "May we have a moment in private,please,ma'am?" "There are other steps that we could be taking" "If we were to classify azam.." "..as an enemy combatant.." "you're advocating torture?" "That is your word" "Which has not been proven to work" "More times than not,they're likely to lie" "and you know that" "You're tying my hands" "I didn't write the constitution" "The constitution is not a suicide pact" "We have a living,breathing in custody who has answers" "Have homeland raise the terror alert" "Yes,ma'am charlie,there's absolutely nothing to talk about" "I remember it.You remember nothing" "No,you remember nothing" "I remember it well" "Off with their heads!" "You don't rember that" "Come on,man" "Hey,kelly" "Hi,charlie" "Alex,can i borrow you for a second?" "Yeah" "Later" "Alex" "Alex" "Look... alex,what happened today" "it can't happen again" "Whoa,whoa." "Slow down what are you talking about?" "The president tells me explicitly what to say and what not to say" "And if you're not in on those things" "I ought to be" "You are,a lot of the times,but-- -no,no,I ought to be in and you ought to be out" "That's right" "I'm not the only one who thinks so" "Why don't you go ask our friends in the press corps?" "You're still upset the president gave me the job" "Upset?" "Upset,that I,a harvard graduate was passed over by someone who,a month ago thought a lid was something you put on lattes?" "Look,I know it's hard-- -no,you don'T" "You don't know anything" "And I'm sick and tired of taking orders from some U.C. Santa barbara pi beta phi who.." "majored in rushing and minored in getting on her knees" "Or I'm--I'm sorry,do I have that backwards?" "Did you minor in rushing?" "Don't come in tomorrow" "All right,look,I'm sorry" "I'm sorry,okay?" "I just--I'm just- you know,I'm drunk" "Yeah,you're just.." "you know fired" "And next time check your sources" "I was born in santa barbara.I graduated from princeton-- phi beta kappa" "so what,you're too good to go trick-or-treating?" "No,not too good.Just" "I--too old" "Nah." "Never too old" "Well,besides,if I go,it'll be a huge production" "I mean,secret service and what not and.." "oh,probably press" "You sure?" "'Cause I make a pretty convincing dracula oh,yes,I'm sure" "I want to suck your blood." "Aah!" "Mwah-ha-ha god,you're beautiful" "Are you leaving on your own" "or should I call rebecca's agents?" "Mom." "Um... madam president,it's an honor to meet you" "It would be more of an honor if you weren't in my daughter's bedroom at 11 P.M." "Sam!" "Um,mom this is mike flemming,and we were just studying" "Ma'am?" "Would you please show this young man out?" "Yeah.Uh,thank you" "Thanks,sam" "Mom,mike's a good guy" "You're 16" "More relevant,he's 16 -17" "Well,okay,then" "But he's a-a total gentleman and a good guy and a good friend" "I mean,mom,you should've seen him" "I've seen enough,thank you" "No,I-I mean today at school with horace.He completely defended him" "Why did horace need defending?" "Um... because kids at school were making fun of dad" "Hi" "All quiet on the home front?" "Can I have the C.I.A.Shift their overwatch to rebecca's room?" "Two chinooks four helos total" "We'll be entering lebanese airspace within the next 15 minutes" "Shall I update you each step?" "I won't be sleeping" "Yes,ma'am" "Mr. Weaver" "Were you able to reach the first gentleman,ma'am?" "Not yet" "Will the children be going to school tomorrow?" "I think they should stay home" "Very good,ma'am" "If I can ask... should I tell my daughter to keep my grandchildren back as well?" "That I can't answer" "Seems like most people plan to" "attention!" "Everyone" "What do you have for me,mr." "Secretary?" "The orion team is back on the ground in jordan debriefing and sorting" "Casualties?" "There were two wounded,one seriously" "Thank you." "Please sit" "The preliminary assessment is very promising" "They got over 300 data cds ten hard drives a stack of paper files" "We're fairly confident that they'll be able to decode and identify" "all of azam's co-consipirators" "But when?" "Next week?" "Azam's attack was scheduled for 1 P.M. Central" "It's already 4 A.M.That gives us 10 hours" "Ma'am,azam still remains our most valuable asset" "It is my strong recommendation that he spend some time with the kilo charlie team" "They just got back from-- -from afghanistan,I know" "It's a matter of expertise" "Fbi agents spend maybe ten weeks learning to fight terrorism within very strict parameters" "Now obviously,you agree with this since just yesterday you decided that justice should answer to N.S.C.On domestic terrorism issues" "I think we wait for news from amman" "But it could be days... or weeks" "Yeah" "Hand him over" "But,melanie" "I don't want to hear that he was tortured" "Do you understand me?" "Perfectly" "Thank you" "I bet you don't know who that is" "Her name is amy,too" "She used to live here" "A long time ago when her daddy was the president you know what amy used to do for halloween?" "Unh-unh" "She'd have a party and I was thinking maybe we should do the same thing" "Have a party and go trick-or-treating?" "Mm,I was thinking just the party" "But I'm going with abigail,and luke's coming" "I wish people could celebrate the way they want to but there are some bad guys that are trying to ruin halloween and it's my job as a mommy to make sure that you're safe" "Are you gonna catch all the bad guys?" "Oh,I hope so" "Before tonight?" "I'm going to do my best,I promise" "I bet princess orion could catch them right away,though,huh?" "I'm gonna go take this off" "So we know it's al-muharib" "That means more than one target,right?" "At least,but we have no idea where" "Who's your source?" "Rod" "Do you have anyone in custody?" "If I'm not a part of this,what am I doing?" "Do you have any idea why I was calling you why I couldn't sleep?" "It's not just 'cause of the threat" "Amy is distraught because i destroyed halloween" "Rebecca is entertaining boys in her room" "Horace got into a fight" "Okay,look" "I didn't mean the kids.I just.." "What'S... "entertaining,"exactly?" "I handled rebecca but you should talk to horace" "A fight,huh?" "Greer called it an incident" "Will you talk to horace,please?" "Sure" "What was it that you wanted to talk to me about?" "What happened in baltimore?" "Oh,nothing you need to worry about" "Hey" "Hey." "Whatcha doing?" "Just trying to find a horror movie for tonight" "Best I'm gonna do for halloween,considering" "I heard you got in a fight" "I want to know what happened" "Hey" "Did he insult you?" "Your sister?" "Your mom?" "Me?" "Pretty easy target these days" "Okay,listen,horace,I know it's an adjustment but I am proud of what I am doing here" "and you do not need to defend me-- -yeah,well,someone's gotta" "You're a national joke,dad" "No one's even noticed that mom is the first female president because they're too busy laughing at her wuss of a husband" "What did you just say to me?" "You heard me" "Wait a minute.Don't you walk away from me" "Just forget it" "Wait a minute" "Think I can forget what you just said to me?" "Dad,I didn't mean to-- -get outta here!" "Hey,gordon." "This me?" "Right there" "You look good" "Thanks" "You look really good" "I think I've lost a few pounds since you've seen me last" "It's more than that." "You taking that little blue pill?" "No." "Come on now." "Come on" "You're blushing" "No,so we'll toss around a few things" "I'm sure you'll want to get into the vouchers bill.We'll talk about that" "Anything." "Whatever you'd like.It's your show" "I'm sorry if I'm a little" "I've just--off the record?" "Thank you." "Thanks" "I've just come out of the intel meeting on this missouri business" "It's always scary" "We're on in ten" "These sessions...our president-- -we should get into that" "Oh,god,you know,please.." "don't put me on the spot.You know me and my mouth" "And you're on" "Hello,I'm gordon blake,and this is speaker of the house nathan templeton" "This is "the war room."" "Speaker,tell me is the president of the united states soft on terrorism?" "you're dealing from the bottom of the deck,gordon" "There's a terror alert in the country" "It would be very remiss of me to.." "in any way criticize the president at a time like this" "Well,can you look into that camera,our audience and tell america,"worry not." "Your children will be safe this halloween"?" "you're incorrigible" "Now you're asking me to speak for the president and her N.S.C. Team because that's where the security of the country lies.It lies with her" "I'm not going to tell the president what to do not on national television,anyway" "What i can say and I am confident that the president would agree with me saying it is that this is not a time for politics" "This is the time for the president to do everything within her power to keep americans alive" "Do you have any other family in the united states?" "No." "No,I don'T" "In canada?" "No" "We know you're a saudi citizen" "We know about your brother..." "I'm pretty new here.." "but I'm fairly sure you're not supposed to be doing this" "I'm sorry,ma'am" "Just be thankful I caught you and not jim" "It's just I was wondering and curious at how it was going with the prisoner" "We're sending him for more aggressive interrogation" "Good" "Pardon me?" "Well,I mean,if.." "it means stopping him and nabbing other terrorists then why not do whatever it takes?" "Frankly,I am surprised to hear you say that" "You're very strong on palestinian rights" "Yes,ma'am." "Yes,I am.I'm just not very big on terrorists having rights" "There's a difference,and thanks to them,people don't see that" "I say boil the bastard alive" "Hey" "Hey" "Weren't you in baltimore?" "Mm-hmm" "Business or pleasure?" "Started out as pleasure." "Want to swap lives?" "I don't,uh..." "I don't think you'd make a good baseball commissioner" "Hmm?" "I got offered the job" "Wow." "Can you believe that?" "Yeah.When did that happen?" "That's fantastic" "What are you going to do?" "It's,uh,it's complicated" "Yeah" "A little" "I mean,the truth is there's no legal reason I can't take that job" "You might be happier" "Plus horace must be jazzed.That's every boy's dream" "Yeah" "Oh,I gotta go" "aren't those for amy?" "didn't I ask you to get anthony?" "Yes,ma'am" "Then why isn't he here?" "Well,because you would ask him why he doesn't have any updates and I thought I would spare him the seventh trip down the hall" "Why doesn't he have any updates?" "you see "the war room"this morning?" "No." "Why?" "Gordon blake had templeton on and he implied" "that if anything happened it'll be on your-- -well,I don't want to get into any political games with templeton" "Don't take the bait" "If we're lucky,my second day might be better than the first" "We've got names of coconspirators and specific school targets" "Question is,can we round them up in time?" "We have the entire cell in custody" "But as a precaution,we're keeping heightened security at the other target schools in.." "bloomington,hillsboro and fort worth" "I want to visit all four schools on monday" "I'll set it up" "So... that's it" "I don't know about you people,but I could not pull another all-nighter" "I don't bounce back like I did when I was in college" "Ask anthony" "I think you did just fine" "Operation orion was an inspired move not to mention aptly named but at what cost?" "Two black ops in the hospital millions of dollars and the loss of shahid training camp as a future source of intel" "And I can assure you,the foreign minister of lebanon will be canceling his visit to the white house next month" "And I can assure you that on monday morning when I'm saying the pledge with the children of alexander hamilton elementary" "I will not be regretting any of my actions" "Absolutely,ma'am" "My point is simply we have limited resources and there are limitless threats" "And in the end,I got the sameist of coconspirators from azam's interrogation" "Plus... coordinates of safe houses they may use in the future" "What's done is done" "The important thing is you just diverted the first major threat of your administration,madam president" "Congratulations" "Congratulations congratulations" "Thank you" "Hi.You look so cute" "Is it too late to have the party?" "Oh,baby,this is what you wanted to do" "It's going to be really,really fun" "What's the matter,honey?" "You still scared?" "Maybe it's okay to be a little scared on halloween" "You caught all the bad guys,right?" "We wouldn't let you go if it wasn't safe." "You know that" "Are you sure you can't come?" "Yeah." "Pete and eddie aren't going to let me come" "But daddy's going to come with you" "Mm-hmm." "And mommy's going to have a huge jar of candy corn to share with us when we get back" "Half a jar,maybe" "You better go" "Come on" "happy halloween." "That amy's stash?" "Yeah." "You want some?" "No,thanks" "Hey" "About earlier..." "I'm sorry I said... what I said." "But-- but what?" "You're the son of the president,horace" "People are going to have opinions" "You can't go after every jerk who has a wiseass remark" "I didn't have a choice" "And I say you do" "Yeah" "Madam president" "Nathan" "Well... bloody hell" "It's been really something" "Uh,yeah." "It has" "A defining moment for you-- for us,for all of us" "I think it's at timeslike these we're all independents" "I just wanted to say to you you did good" "Well,thank you" "That,uh... that means a great deal to me.Thank you very much" "When I think of how close we came... anyway,what's his name?" "Azam talked and that's what's important" "Intelligence oversight" "I see the same secret papers you do" "I'm subject to the same code of silence you are,and" "I will not speak a word" "It is,after all,unspeakable" "But this is the business we've chosen--this business of leading paying the price for the greater good" "Mr. Speaker,what the hell are you talking about?" "Nathan?" "Madam president just you and me... no one else here..."
