Hmmm... maybe that made that gentle fatherly tone that little bit easier to pull off when he says, "Charlie... come here." Now I'm wondering if the character name was deliberate from the start on Sorkin's part, helping to imply and create a father-son dynamic.

To the ones who asked what crashing the White House details: 1. all people and vehicles inside the White House complex are halted and held where they are (in case there was more than 1 suspect); 2. All incoming and outgoing calls to the White House are halted (except for Secret Service traffic), and cell phone disruptors may be activated to prevent cell phone calls from being used. 3. All windows are covered: 4. All Uniformed and non-uniformed Secret Service staff are deployed around the outside and inside of the complex, with orders to report in every few minutes: 5. The Secret Service activates their crises command protocols (ICS): 6. If possible, POTUS and all other necessary personnel are taken to the situation room. Aircraft could be deployed above D.C. to search for any threat from above.

Ced Cole Correct, though I think it'd be more likely that if the Secret Service had to move POTUS, they'd take him to the PEOC instead of the Sit Room.

Addressing Will by his rank first, and getting a security briefing at 1:28 while charlie and debbie enters the scene to finally 2:22 informing what he just learnt to agent Butterfield to crash the white house. When I first watched I thoght he had that info with him, whenever his daily security briefing is held. Now I think he thought we got shot, let me see what the NSC has on radar (calls them) and see if there could be a larger scheme. Being overtly cautious, decides to crash the WH.

When Toby, CJ and a uniformed Will enter the Oval Office, Bartlett (never having served in the military) twice calls him by his first name, however Leo, a combat veteran, while giving orders to Will, in an instant switches to military protocol when addressing him.

When trauma happens people can't see/hear/understand due to heightened adrenolin rush. Calm and clearly spoken words keep a head on stress. This scene is eminently well written. Just brilliant!

You can motivate someone to do just enough to keep from getting fired, but you can inspire someone to follow you anywhere and sacrifice everything.

At the Secret and TS levels there are codewords for specific programs; i.e. operations, intelligence etc. At one time (a while back...1970's) you couldn't even mention the codeword. All that's changed. I was an enlisted staffer in the Intelligence Directorate @ HQ SAC. Every thing we touched or talked about was classified. Wasn't much talk with your friends or spouse about "how was your day"; my wife had a TS+ clearance but there was always the rejoinder......"need to know..."

He already lost one parent, he wasn’t about to lose another. Even better, you can see the pride in Jed’s eyes when Charlie comes rushing through the door just like he said he would. Knowing his boy would walk through fire if it meant protecting him. The way he comforts him afterwards he might as well have said “I’m okay Son, I’m okay…..”
