tested?``
``Why?``
``The crisis.``
-What crisis?
-I`m working on that.
Get GeneraI Scott
and the Joint Chiefs of Staff...
and put them
on a pIane to SeattIe.
He`s nervous to taIk
to the Boeing peopIe.
But what?
There isn`t a B-3 bomber.
-Where`d you go to schooI?
-Dartmouth.
Then show a IittIe spunk.
There is no B-3 bomber.
GeneraI Scott,
to your knowIedge...
is not in SeattIe
to taIk to Boeing.
It won`t prove out.
It doesn`t have to prove out.
We just gotta distract them.
Got Iess than two weeks
tiII the eIection.
What in the worId wouId do that?
I`m working on it.
Winifred, Mr. Brean.
-What`s this?
-$20,000.
I gotta go to L.A.
and see a HoIIywood producer.
Meet me at NationaI in an hour.
We`II go to Chicago
and connect there to L.A.
See you at NationaI.
TeII me this again.
We Ianding?
TeII me again.
Don`t worry.
It`s nothing new.
During Reagan`s administration,
240 Marines kiIIed in Beirut.
24 hours Iater,
we invade Grenada.
That was their M.O.
Change the story,
change the Iead.
It`s not a new concept.
Wake me when we Iand.
We`II taIk more.
Wait.
We can`t afford a war.
We`re not having a war.
We`re having
the appearance of a war.
We cannot afford it.
-What`II it cost?
-But they wouId find out.
Who`s gonna find out?
The American peopIe?
Who`s gonna teII them?
What did they find out
about the GuIf War?
One video of one bomb
faIIs down a chimney.
The buiIding couId have been
made out of Legos.
-You want us to go to war?
-That`s the generaI idea.
With who?
I`m working on it.
AIbania?
Why?
Why not?
What do you know about them?
-Nothing.
-PreciseIy.
They seem shifty, standoffish.
Who knows from AIbania?
Who trusts AIbanians?
What did AIbania ever do to us?
What did they do for us?
This is why we have to
mobiIize the B-3 bomber.
You reaIIy want to go
to war with AIbania?
We don`t have a choice.
This is what you do.
Get your press office
right now to deny it.
It didn`t happen.
``There is no report
of AIbanian activity.``
They have to deny it.
-It didn`t happen.
-Deny.
...news from the president
on his visit to China.
Another sort of news, however...
has emerged
from the presidential quarter.
We turn to Melissa Gardner
at KZAB in Santa Fe...
with this breaking news.
Thanks, Richard.
Today a local Firefly Girl...
accused the president
of sexual misconduct.
This photo of the president
with the girls...
was taken during their tour
of the White House.
The girl claims
that the sexual misconduct...
occurred inside the Oval Office.
Her attorney says
there are no plans yet...
to hold a press conference.
Folks in Santa Fe
and the rest of America...
are waiting for a response
from the White House...
on these harsh allegations.
With the election days away,
the big question is...
how much will this scandal
affect the outcome?
Top peopIe, AIbanian desk.
I don`t know, either,
but we probabIy have one.
Roust them out of bed.
AIbanian desk, CIA, NSA.
Roust them, sirens bIaring.
I know they`re gonna be up
in an hour.
I want them up now.
TeII your staff...
GeneraI Scott in SeattIe?
I don`t think his trip
has to do with the B-3 bomber.
I`II have to ask you
to turn that off.
It`II just be a second.
There are no eIectronics
on the pIane.
I have to ask you
to turn that off.
It`II just take two seconds.
We`ve said fIat out
there is no B-3 bomber.
I understand.
If it is true, he should,
he must step down...
and if it`s not true,
then he must...
We are informed he has extended
his visit to China.
I say on behalf of
the American people, come home.
Face the music,
whatever that may be.
The election`s in 1 1 days.
Let the American people decide.
``Let the American people
decide.``
Senator Neal,
presidential candidate.
Excuse me, Senator...
That`s 1 1 days
till the election...
and the president
ahead in the polls by--Bob?
Seventeen percent.
Accusations have surfaced which
could affect the
