"'''{{PAGENAME}}'''" is the 44th episode, and second season finale of ''[[The West Wing (TV series)|The West Wing]]''.

==Plot==

{{spoiler}}

As it happens, a [[tropical storm]] is bearing down on Washington on the day that the [[Josiah Bartlet|President]] is to disclose that he has [[Multiple Sclerosis|MS]] and has been lying about it for eight years. Bartlet himself is distracted as he attends [[Mrs. Landingham]]'s funeral, beset with memories of how they met. But the staffers are, as usual, all business as they deal with [[United States Congress|congressional]] [[United States Democratic Party|Democrats]], party officials and network execs. They also must fashion two responses to the question that is certain to be asked first at his prime-time press conference: Will Bartlet seek reelection?

==Trivia==

* The song "[[Brothers in Arms (song)|Brothers in Arms]]" by [[Dire Straits]] is used in the closing sequence.

* In his "[[Inside the Actors Studio]]" episode, Martin Sheen is told by the host, James Lipton, that this episode was the best hour of television ever made.

* ''Eas In Crucem'' at the end of Bartlet's speech in the cathedral translates roughly from [[Latin]] to "Go to [[Hell]]."

* About eleven minutes into the episode, Bartlet puts a pair of glasses into his left shirt pocket. Two very quick camera shots later, the glasses are in his right pocket.

* To get from the White House to the State Department, the Presidential motorcade would come nowhere close to the National Cathedral. The State Department is approximate 6 blocks west of the White House while the National Cathedral is about 3.3 miles northwest.

==Latin Translations==

* ''Gratias tibi ago, domine.'' Thank you, Lord.

* ''Haec credam a deo pio, a deo justo, a deo scito?'' Am I to believe these things from a righteous God, a just God, a wise God?

* ''Cruciatus in crucem.'' To Hell with your punishments (literally "(put/send) punishments onto a cross")

* ''Tuus in terra servus, nuntius fui; officium perfeci.'' I was your servant, your messenger on the earth, I did my duty.

* ''Cruciatus in crucem (with a dismissive wave of the hand) eas in crucem.'' The Hell with your punishments! And to Hell with you! (literally, "may you go to a cross")

== Awards and Nominations ==

* This episode won an Emmy in 2001 for Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Series (Bill Johnson, A.C.E.).

* [[Martin Sheen]] was nominated for the 2001 [[Emmy]] in the category of Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his performance in this episode
