Josh's Call Sheets

Josh offers Sam his call sheets over the phone from the rural road, stacks of printed pages listing daily contacts, schedules, and directives. These documents serve as source material for memos and staffing briefings. Sam accepts the handoff sight unseen, thrusting him into full operational command as the President's wide-angle lens amid motorcade stranding.
