In the corridor, Josh pulls Santos away from the people he's speaking with and asks a Secret Service agent to seal the elevator. They enter the elevator, and as it starts to move, Josh pushes the stop button. Something must be wrong with the elevator, because an alarm does not instantly start to ring. Santos looks a bit startled -- I guess Josh hasn't been this aggressive in the past. Josh tells Santos that he's starting to think there is a coordinated effort to bring down the Santos campaign and throw it off its message. Josh tells Santos that the AP has a photograph of something that happened in his hotel bed in Cleveland: "Is there anything you'd like to tell me?" Unspoken but implied are the words "before I tear your eyes you, you cheating hussy." Santos: "His name is Bruce. He's a flight attendant on Aer Lingus." I think I know that guy. Santos leans back against the wall of the elevator, and sighs. "At first, it was long walks..." And that's when Josh loses it. Santos maintains the joke for a second, looking horribly offended that Josh would laugh at him just as he's sharing this difficult story. Josh apologizes for doubting Santos, pointing out that it's his job to ask these questions. And then Santos says, "Wait a minute. Cleveland?"
