This better be an emergency.
:02:09
Hello? Who is this?
:02:22
We're unable to complete your call
as dialed.

:02:25
Please check it and dial again.
:02:27
Protests like this at the
US embassy in Beijing...

:02:30
...cause many to believe
the UN trade agreement...

:02:33
... will dissolve before it starts.
:02:35
All eyes are on
Secretary General Thomas...

:02:38
... to find a solution to the strained
relations between the countries.

:02:50
You have a monumental crisis emerging,
Mr. Secretary General.

:02:54
I'm convinced there's only one man
in the whole world. . .

:02:57
. . .who can compel those fellas in
Beijing to stick with their agreement.

:03:01
And that man is you, David.
:03:09
I don't know if you're trying
to flatter me. . .

:03:11
. . .or frighten me, sir.
:03:13
I think the secretary general
is suggesting. . .

:03:16
. . .is that you can remind all parties
involved that, as history has shown. . .

:03:20
. . .economic prosperity
does wonders at keeping the peace.

:03:23
Excuse me, I missed CNN today.
:03:26
Is there a war going on
that I'm unaware of?

:03:28
There's always a war.
There's your side, their side. . .

:03:31
. . .and me in the middle
trying to make it look like peace.

:03:35
The secretary general
spoke to the president this morning.

:03:38
If the situation doesn't improve,
he's prepared to fly in tomorrow. . .

:03:42
. . .and attend the ceremony as a
show of support for the agreement.

:03:46
It's a last resort.
:03:48
I don't want it to happen.
:03:50
I want this to be a UN initiative.
:03:52
But more than that, I want it to work.
:03:55
And I'm afraid
that as things stand now. . .

:03:57
. . .without the president's presence,
it can't work.
