﻿1
00:00:40,248 --> 00:00:45,378
Hey! Does commitment have one T or two?

2
00:00:47,422 --> 00:00:48,465
Nobody?

3
00:00:49,549 --> 00:00:51,384
Ah, fuck it. Who cares? -

4
00:01:14,657 --> 00:01:17,118
Oh, do you like this?

5
00:01:17,118 --> 00:01:18,119
Love it.

6
00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:20,371
Ah. So, Gordon told me what you did...

7
00:01:32,383 --> 00:01:36,513
Oh! You know what, tell them.

8
00:01:36,513 --> 00:01:38,556
Come on. Tell them, tell them about Guatemala.

9
00:01:38,556 --> 00:01:40,850
Ah! Uh, yeah.

10
00:01:40,850 --> 00:01:42,769
These girls don't want to hear about that.

11
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:44,145
- Tell us! - Please, Edward.

12
00:01:44,145 --> 00:01:46,147
Yeah, go on. - Tell a story.

13
00:01:46,147 --> 00:01:48,483
You know how a lot of guys say they're with the CIA

14
00:01:48,483 --> 00:01:49,818
so they can get you into bed,

15
00:01:49,818 --> 00:01:51,402
when they really just sell aluminum siding?

16
00:01:51,402 --> 00:01:56,074
Well, he really worked for the CIA.

17
00:01:56,074 --> 00:01:57,116
Come on!

18
00:01:57,116 --> 00:01:59,911
No, you're right. I sell aluminum siding.

19
00:01:59,911 --> 00:02:01,830
Stop it! - I knew it!

20
00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:03,873
He's lying. He's making me look like a liar.

21
00:02:03,873 --> 00:02:05,708
Funny story about Guatemala.

22
00:02:05,708 --> 00:02:10,880
I let el presidente and his wife escape into exile.

23
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,967
They insisted that this scrawny

24
00:02:13,967 --> 00:02:16,052
Argentine medical student come with them.

25
00:02:16,052 --> 00:02:18,221
And do you know

26
00:02:18,221 --> 00:02:20,765
- who that kid was? - Who?

27
00:02:23,351 --> 00:02:25,520
Ernesto Guevara.

28
00:02:30,108 --> 00:02:32,277
Che fucking Guevara.

29
00:02:32,277 --> 00:02:33,820
- Che. - Far out.

30
00:02:33,820 --> 00:02:35,655
Do you know who that is?

31
00:02:35,655 --> 00:02:37,323
A musician? - LIDDY: No.

32
00:02:37,323 --> 00:02:40,785
When the CIA assassinated Che,

33
00:02:40,785 --> 00:02:44,455
they sent this guy the son of a bitch's hands

34
00:02:44,455 --> 00:02:49,252
- in a fucking box! In a box! - Hey, who's telling this story?

35
00:02:49,252 --> 00:02:50,545
I'm sorry.

36
00:02:50,545 --> 00:02:52,380
I just love that part, though.

37
00:02:52,380 --> 00:02:55,258
In a box! Hello!

38
00:02:56,718 --> 00:02:58,678
- Hands in a box. - And tiny.

39
00:02:58,678 --> 00:03:00,096
"Merry Christmas. Oh, it's a present?

40
00:03:00,096 --> 00:03:01,764
No, it's fucking hands!"

41
00:03:01,764 --> 00:03:06,644
So, like, what do you need us for?

42
00:03:06,644 --> 00:03:10,398
Well, we've got big plans for the Democrats!

43
00:03:10,398 --> 00:03:13,151
As you may or may not know,

44
00:03:13,151 --> 00:03:16,988
the Democratic National Convention will be held here.

45
00:03:16,988 --> 00:03:19,490
- In Miami. - Uh, yeah. We're well aware.

46
00:03:19,490 --> 00:03:22,660
- It's high season. - We would set you two up

47
00:03:22,660 --> 00:03:27,373
with a few of your friends in a swanky yacht,

48
00:03:27,373 --> 00:03:29,292
with all the champagne

49
00:03:29,292 --> 00:03:32,670
and cocaine your little hearts desired,

50
00:03:32,670 --> 00:03:35,632
and a couple of hidden movie cameras

51
00:03:35,632 --> 00:03:37,800
for our friends back in Washington.

52
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,219
Like, for blackmail? - Ooh!

53
00:03:40,219 --> 00:03:43,222
So, how do we know we can trust you?

54
00:03:43,222 --> 00:03:45,975
My word is my bond.

55
00:03:51,689 --> 00:03:53,149
I do not bend.

56
00:03:56,277 --> 00:03:57,820
And I do not break.

57
00:04:01,491 --> 00:04:02,492
Please stop.

58
00:04:49,038 --> 00:04:51,207
Oh! May I see some ID?

59
00:04:51,207 --> 00:04:54,002
Jim. I just walked out of here 15 minutes ago.

60
00:04:54,752 --> 00:04:56,921
- You saw me leave. - Did I?

61
00:04:56,921 --> 00:04:58,881
You know I outrank you.

62
00:04:58,881 --> 00:05:02,218
Members of the Committee need to have ID on them at all times.

63
00:05:02,218 --> 00:05:04,512
Do you ask Mitchell for his ID?

64
00:05:04,512 --> 00:05:06,806
No. I know John Mitchell by sight.

65
00:05:06,806 --> 00:05:09,017
He's the attorney general and head of the committee.

66
00:05:09,017 --> 00:05:10,518
Well...

67
00:05:10,518 --> 00:05:12,395
...you're about to get very used to the sight of me.

68
00:05:12,395 --> 00:05:15,189
- I just moved my office here. - I'll vouch for him, Jim.

69
00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:17,066
Gordon here's in charge of dirty tricks.

70
00:05:17,066 --> 00:05:18,359
First thing tomorrow,

71
00:05:18,359 --> 00:05:20,028
we're actually going to pitch his million-dollar,

72
00:05:20,028 --> 00:05:21,904
rat-fucking idea to Mr. Mitchell.

73
00:05:21,904 --> 00:05:24,365
Oh, is that so? Good luck with that.

74
00:05:26,242 --> 00:05:27,452
Let's go.

75
00:05:30,705 --> 00:05:34,375
Jeb, do not tell people what I really do here.

76
00:05:34,375 --> 00:05:36,669
- Especially that oddball. - Ooh!

77
00:05:36,669 --> 00:05:38,212
- Are these the goods, Gordo? - Hey!

78
00:05:38,212 --> 00:05:41,507
Yes, straight from the CIA art department.

79
00:05:41,507 --> 00:05:45,470
- What happened to your hand? - I burned it. On purpose.

80
00:05:45,470 --> 00:05:47,764
Hey, where is this spook partner of yours?

81
00:05:47,764 --> 00:05:49,932
He'll be popping by from the White House.

82
00:05:49,932 --> 00:05:52,310
Don't you worry. He will be here.

83
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:55,063
- Morning, gentlemen. - Howard Hunt, Jeb Magruder.

84
00:05:56,522 --> 00:05:58,483
Jeb, pleased to meet you.

85
00:05:58,483 --> 00:05:59,734
How did you get in here?

86
00:05:59,734 --> 00:06:03,196
- How do you like steel? - Oh, do you play?

87
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:06,115
Well, I dabble. Yeah.

88
00:06:06,115 --> 00:06:08,326
You and I might need to get out on the court,

89
00:06:08,326 --> 00:06:09,786
mix it up at my club.

90
00:06:09,786 --> 00:06:11,079
Ah, Chevy Chase, right?

91
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:13,331
I heard all you CIA spooks belong there.

92
00:06:13,331 --> 00:06:15,541
Lakewood, actually.

93
00:06:15,541 --> 00:06:19,962
Chevy Chase is a little stuffy for my taste.

94
00:06:19,962 --> 00:06:22,006
- See you on the court. -

95
00:06:22,006 --> 00:06:24,092
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

96
00:06:24,092 --> 00:06:26,636
- What is that? - Walther Luftpistole.

97
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,222
Like the James Bond posters?

98
00:06:29,806 --> 00:06:31,140
Mm, mm.

99
00:06:33,559 --> 00:06:35,394
Silent.

100
00:06:35,770 --> 00:06:36,771
Lethal.

101
00:06:36,771 --> 00:06:37,814
- German. -

102
00:06:37,814 --> 00:06:39,148
Oh, okay! Okay.

103
00:06:39,148 --> 00:06:42,235
Hey, I don't care if it can suck my cock and cook me breakfast,

104
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:43,569
there's no guns in the office, Gordon.

105
00:06:43,569 --> 00:06:46,447
Everyone's a lot safer with this baby here in my desk.

106
00:06:46,447 --> 00:06:48,157
Oh, Jesus.

107
00:06:59,710 --> 00:07:02,004
Hi, Willie.

108
00:07:02,004 --> 00:07:04,632
Oh, let me get that, dear. - FRAN LIDDY: Oh!

109
00:07:06,259 --> 00:07:10,471
- Wow, this is really something. - Oh, well. It's not bad.

110
00:07:10,471 --> 00:07:12,515
You should see the University Club.

111
00:07:12,515 --> 00:07:13,474
Oh, hi!

112
00:07:13,474 --> 00:07:15,518
Gordon, maybe we should join a club.

113
00:07:15,518 --> 00:07:17,687
I'm game. Good for hobnobbing.

114
00:07:17,687 --> 00:07:19,647
Think you could get us in here?

115
00:07:19,647 --> 00:07:22,650
Well, it is a two-year waitlist.

116
00:07:22,650 --> 00:07:24,610
Dear, I think that's a very kind way of saying

117
00:07:24,610 --> 00:07:27,697
- we wouldn't get in. - Oh, I-- I got it.

118
00:07:27,697 --> 00:07:30,533
Don't take wop-mick mongrels from Hoboken.

119
00:07:30,533 --> 00:07:32,660
So much for the Master Race, eh, Gordon?

120
00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:34,120
Touché.

121
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,331
- Ah, aloha, Mr. Hunt. - Ah, aloha, Louis.

122
00:07:37,331 --> 00:07:38,499
Got your favorite table all ready.

123
00:07:38,499 --> 00:07:39,542
- Right this way. - Thank you.

124
00:07:39,542 --> 00:07:41,210
- Wonderful. -

125
00:07:42,837 --> 00:07:44,714
This is so exciting! -

126
00:07:46,007 --> 00:07:47,508
By this time tomorrow,

127
00:07:47,508 --> 00:07:49,385
Gordon and I should have John Mitchell

128
00:07:49,385 --> 00:07:51,095
eating out of our hands.

129
00:07:51,095 --> 00:07:53,264
Hmm, just like Martha.

130
00:07:55,933 --> 00:07:57,226
Ow!

131
00:07:57,226 --> 00:07:58,728
Hell, yeah.

132
00:07:58,728 --> 00:08:00,646
Okay! Come on -

133
00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:02,690
Did you know they were going to be here?

134
00:08:02,690 --> 00:08:05,443
- No, I didn't. - Are those your children?

135
00:08:05,443 --> 00:08:07,528
- Hmm. - Yes.

136
00:08:07,528 --> 00:08:09,030
- Hey! - Oh.

137
00:08:10,448 --> 00:08:11,616
Going up.

138
00:08:11,616 --> 00:08:13,993
I am way too fucking high to go over there right now.

139
00:08:13,993 --> 00:08:15,536
It'll be worse if we don't.

140
00:08:15,536 --> 00:08:18,164
- Good. Here they come. - Coming over.

141
00:08:18,164 --> 00:08:21,167
- Lisa's acting weird. - How can you tell?

142
00:08:21,167 --> 00:08:24,503
Hello, Daddy-o.

143
00:08:29,926 --> 00:08:33,095
Lisa, St. John, this is Fran and Gordon Liddy.

144
00:08:33,095 --> 00:08:35,223
Hi. You must be the Smithie?

145
00:08:35,223 --> 00:08:37,934
No, that's Kevan, my younger sister.

146
00:08:37,934 --> 00:08:41,687
- I'm Lisa. The other one. - Oh.

147
00:08:41,687 --> 00:08:43,856
Yeah, I'm the one they don't talk about.

148
00:08:43,856 --> 00:08:45,066
The college dropout.

149
00:08:45,066 --> 00:08:47,443
Your father absolutely mentioned you.

150
00:08:47,443 --> 00:08:49,153
You are the one that had the car accident.

151
00:08:49,153 --> 00:08:51,864
- Gordon! - What? She did.

152
00:08:51,864 --> 00:08:54,116
A pretty bad blow to the head.

153
00:08:56,327 --> 00:08:57,370
Sorry.

154
00:08:57,370 --> 00:08:59,163
Are you okay, sweetie? -

155
00:08:59,163 --> 00:09:02,291
She's fine. She just needs some air. Right?

156
00:09:02,291 --> 00:09:04,669
Uh, yeah, we should hit the road.

157
00:09:04,669 --> 00:09:07,046
Yes.

158
00:09:07,046 --> 00:09:10,299
- Enchanté. - Auf wiedersehen.

159
00:09:10,299 --> 00:09:12,468
- She seems very bright. - Hmm.

160
00:09:12,468 --> 00:09:13,594
The boy, too.

161
00:09:13,594 --> 00:09:15,638
I don't know what gave you that impression.

162
00:09:15,638 --> 00:09:17,223
Who's hungry? -

163
00:09:17,223 --> 00:09:20,559
You know, that's quite the, uh, hippy cut on your boy.

164
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,939
Hmm. Reminds me of the time that I busted Timothy Leary.

165
00:09:24,939 --> 00:09:28,401
Oh, that man should be rotting in a cold cell.

166
00:09:28,401 --> 00:09:30,403
He was living in this great big mansion,

167
00:09:30,403 --> 00:09:32,446
all these zonked-out hippie kids...

168
00:09:32,446 --> 00:09:33,948
...urinating

169
00:09:33,948 --> 00:09:36,450
- and defecating on the floor. - Good Lord, Gordon.

170
00:09:36,450 --> 00:09:38,828
Maybe we're not country club material after all.

171
00:09:38,828 --> 00:09:40,997
Say, what if we were to pitch

172
00:09:40,997 --> 00:09:44,542
Mitchell something like that at the Democratic convention?

173
00:09:44,542 --> 00:09:48,379
You know, sort of show some of those stoner supporters

174
00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:50,631
pissing on the floor.

175
00:09:50,631 --> 00:09:54,135
You could have them shouting.

176
00:09:54,135 --> 00:09:57,680
"Piss on Nixon, Piss on Nixon!" -

177
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:00,308
"Piss on Nixon"! That is genius.

178
00:10:02,184 --> 00:10:04,437
Uh, what do you think about that, Fran?

179
00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:07,898
Oh, Gordon and I never discuss his work.

180
00:10:07,898 --> 00:10:09,859
That's our secret to a happy marriage.

181
00:10:09,859 --> 00:10:12,320
Oh, I wondered what the secret was.

182
00:10:13,988 --> 00:10:16,490
Well, the junkies would certainly be arrested,

183
00:10:16,490 --> 00:10:19,160
and they would tell the police that they've been paid.

184
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,161
Excuse me?

185
00:10:20,161 --> 00:10:22,872
It's very high-risk, low-reward.

186
00:10:22,872 --> 00:10:25,458
Howard, maybe we just talk about it tomorrow at work.

187
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:28,544
I don't know. It's risky. Maybe too risky.

188
00:10:29,837 --> 00:10:31,714
- I'm sorry, uh, Mr. Hunt? - Hey, Don!

189
00:10:31,714 --> 00:10:34,717
- This is my friend, Gordon. - Oh, pleasure. Uh--

190
00:10:34,717 --> 00:10:37,219
Um, there's a bit of an incident with your daughter.

191
00:10:37,219 --> 00:10:39,680
What? All right. All right. Let's go.

192
00:10:44,477 --> 00:10:46,020
Then why don't you apologize to him!

193
00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:47,813
- Get your hands off of me! - Calm down!

194
00:10:47,813 --> 00:10:49,649
Louis, tell them what he just said to you!

195
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:51,692
I really didn't hear anything.

196
00:10:51,692 --> 00:10:54,737
Now, Lisa, maybe you misheard what you thought you heard.

197
00:10:54,737 --> 00:10:56,364
Louis just doesn't want to be fired

198
00:10:56,364 --> 00:10:58,491
for being Black and outspoken!

199
00:10:58,491 --> 00:11:00,534
I don't want to be fired, period.

200
00:11:00,534 --> 00:11:03,037
You had to create a scene here?

201
00:11:03,037 --> 00:11:05,831
Do you have any idea how important tomorrow is to me?

202
00:11:05,831 --> 00:11:07,375
Do you know how much you've embarrassed us?

203
00:11:07,375 --> 00:11:10,586
- I am so sorry, everyone. -

204
00:11:12,546 --> 00:11:14,799
Lisa, honey, we love you.

205
00:11:14,799 --> 00:11:17,134
I think you need some rest, okay?

206
00:11:17,134 --> 00:11:19,428
So why don't you go home, the two of you.

207
00:11:19,428 --> 00:11:21,764
Come on, sis. I'm really hungry.

208
00:11:21,764 --> 00:11:26,352
Oh, Tom? Uh, Lisa wants to say sorry.

209
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:28,270
Yeah, go ahead.

210
00:11:34,610 --> 00:11:35,611
I'm sorry.

211
00:11:36,821 --> 00:11:39,657
Racist fucking pig!

212
00:11:39,657 --> 00:11:42,076
Goddammit! - HOWARD: Hey! Stop that!

213
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:48,707
I am so sorry, everyone. Tom. I really--

214
00:11:49,125 --> 00:11:50,459
Uh, Don,

215
00:11:50,459 --> 00:11:52,753
whatever the damages are, just put them on my bill.

216
00:11:52,753 --> 00:11:54,588
Right. Of course, I will.

217
00:11:55,214 --> 00:11:57,049
Okay. Thank you.

218
00:11:57,049 --> 00:11:58,592
Excuse me, Mr. Hunt,

219
00:11:58,592 --> 00:12:01,637
speaking of finances, uh, you're late again.

220
00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:03,639
I'd ordinarily let it slide,

221
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:05,474
but this has been four months in a row.

222
00:12:05,474 --> 00:12:07,810
Oh! It's been that long? - Four months?

223
00:12:07,810 --> 00:12:10,688
It's still-- The White House has been running me ragged.

224
00:12:10,688 --> 00:12:12,273
And-- And we're very proud

225
00:12:12,273 --> 00:12:13,774
that you're there working on our behalf,

226
00:12:13,774 --> 00:12:16,277
but I just wanted to remind you, in case it had slipped your mind.

227
00:12:16,277 --> 00:12:17,445
No, absolutely not.

228
00:12:17,445 --> 00:12:19,697
We will take care of everything, won't we, Howard?

229
00:12:19,697 --> 00:12:23,367
Yes. Absolutely, we will take care of everything.

230
00:12:23,868 --> 00:12:24,952
Thank you.

231
00:12:28,247 --> 00:12:30,124
And that, gentlemen,

232
00:12:30,124 --> 00:12:32,835
is how we will suppress the Negro vote.

233
00:12:32,835 --> 00:12:36,005
Next up, in this treasure trove of operations

234
00:12:36,005 --> 00:12:40,468
we call Project GEMSTONE, Project SAPPHIRE.

235
00:12:40,468 --> 00:12:42,386
What if we were able to turn Democrats

236
00:12:42,386 --> 00:12:45,556
into free-flowing sources of information?

237
00:12:45,556 --> 00:12:47,641
- How would we do that? - Blackmail.

238
00:12:47,641 --> 00:12:51,312
While the Democratic convention is in full swing in Miami,

239
00:12:51,312 --> 00:12:52,730
we charter a yacht.

240
00:12:52,730 --> 00:12:56,525
Downstairs in the staterooms, hookers.

241
00:12:57,443 --> 00:13:00,446
Behind the two-way mirror,

242
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:02,990
lowlight movies and still cameras.

243
00:13:02,990 --> 00:13:05,826
We are envisioning an Oriental theme for the boat--

244
00:13:05,826 --> 00:13:07,620
Sorry, question. - LIDDY: Yes.

245
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:10,664
So, the hookers are Oriental?

246
00:13:10,664 --> 00:13:14,126
Uh, negative. The hookers will pose

247
00:13:14,126 --> 00:13:16,253
as unfaithful DNC housewives and staffers,

248
00:13:16,253 --> 00:13:18,547
so, ergo, Celtic-Teutonic extraction.

249
00:13:18,547 --> 00:13:20,174
Uh, so, the hookers are German?

250
00:13:20,174 --> 00:13:23,052
No. Celtic-Teutonic. You know, like my wife.

251
00:13:23,052 --> 00:13:24,887
- Your wife's a hooker? - Jeb...

252
00:13:26,347 --> 00:13:29,850
Next up, radical agitators have vowed to disrupt

253
00:13:29,850 --> 00:13:32,353
the GOP convention in San Diego.

254
00:13:32,353 --> 00:13:36,106
Project DIAMOND will temporarily decapitate the leadership

255
00:13:36,106 --> 00:13:37,191
of the radical left.

256
00:13:37,191 --> 00:13:39,693
And transport the leading hippies, yuppies,

257
00:13:39,693 --> 00:13:43,072
and Weather Underground maniacs to Mexico

258
00:13:43,072 --> 00:13:44,865
for the duration of the convention.

259
00:13:44,865 --> 00:13:47,868
Said leaders are returned,

260
00:13:47,868 --> 00:13:51,914
unharmed but disoriented, after the convention.

261
00:13:51,914 --> 00:13:55,417
Or not, you know. A fist full of pesos

262
00:13:55,417 --> 00:13:58,003
digs a pretty deep ditch in Mexico.

263
00:14:03,759 --> 00:14:05,052
So, you're going to kill people?

264
00:14:05,052 --> 00:14:06,762
That was a joke.

265
00:14:06,762 --> 00:14:10,474
- Yeah, but we can. - Temporary relocation. Unharmed.

266
00:14:10,474 --> 00:14:13,727
We can absolutely have them killed, that's not--

267
00:14:13,727 --> 00:14:15,604
Fine. We won't have them killed,

268
00:14:15,604 --> 00:14:19,608
because Project RUBY is already underway,

269
00:14:19,608 --> 00:14:20,609
as we have recruited

270
00:14:20,609 --> 00:14:22,236
covert operatives to plant inside

271
00:14:22,236 --> 00:14:25,739
both the Democratic candidate's campaign and the DNC.

272
00:14:25,739 --> 00:14:27,199
That about wraps it up.

273
00:14:27,199 --> 00:14:30,244
Oh, no. Project GARNET, is a classic false flag op.

274
00:14:30,244 --> 00:14:33,998
We round up Miami's seediest undesirables and outfit them

275
00:14:33,998 --> 00:14:36,000
with all the Democrat paraphernalia

276
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,294
their filthy little hands can carry.

277
00:14:38,294 --> 00:14:41,589
Which brings us to Project EMERALD.

278
00:14:41,589 --> 00:14:44,133
Our high-speed chase plane electronically eavesdrops

279
00:14:44,133 --> 00:14:47,428
on the enemy candidate's planes and campaign buses.

280
00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:50,222
Project CRYSTAL, microwave interception

281
00:14:50,222 --> 00:14:51,682
of telephonic conversations.

282
00:14:51,682 --> 00:14:53,726
Project TOPAZ.

283
00:14:53,726 --> 00:14:57,730
And last, but not least, Project OPAL.

284
00:14:57,730 --> 00:15:00,816
Bugging the DNC and the candidate.

285
00:15:00,816 --> 00:15:03,777
We'll be able to intercept confidential information,

286
00:15:03,777 --> 00:15:06,780
and anticipate strategy, whether it's Muskie,

287
00:15:06,780 --> 00:15:10,784
or if Teddy manages to steal the nomination.

288
00:15:10,784 --> 00:15:13,621
But no matter who they run,

289
00:15:13,621 --> 00:15:17,124
Project GEMSTONE will give us the strategic edge we need

290
00:15:17,124 --> 00:15:19,627
to secure the president's victory.

291
00:15:19,627 --> 00:15:23,547
Four more years of peace, prosperity, and strength,

292
00:15:23,547 --> 00:15:28,135
all for the low, low price of one million dollars.

293
00:15:37,770 --> 00:15:40,230
A million dollars is a hell of a lot more money

294
00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:43,275
- than I had in mind. - A lot more.

295
00:15:43,275 --> 00:15:45,194
What about a half million dollars?

296
00:15:45,194 --> 00:15:48,614
Gordon. Burn all that.

297
00:15:48,614 --> 00:15:51,950
Don't give it to some lackey to throw into a dumpster.

298
00:15:51,950 --> 00:15:54,787
I want you to burn it in your own fireplace

299
00:15:54,787 --> 00:15:56,246
with your own two hands.

300
00:15:57,164 --> 00:15:58,415
Yep.

301
00:16:04,630 --> 00:16:07,091
Want to grab a beer?

302
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:10,344
Yeah, sorry. I gotta go home.

303
00:16:37,496 --> 00:16:40,999
You still have your writing. They can't take that from you.

304
00:16:41,959 --> 00:16:44,253
I feel like I was given one last chance

305
00:16:44,253 --> 00:16:46,255
and it got yanked away.

306
00:16:46,255 --> 00:16:47,965
Mitchell was furious.

307
00:16:47,965 --> 00:16:52,094
Gordon just kept going and going. It's over, Dot.

308
00:16:52,094 --> 00:16:55,264
I'm going to be stuck at Mullen for the rest of my life.

309
00:16:55,264 --> 00:16:58,642
On the bright side, we're done with Herr Liddy.

310
00:16:58,642 --> 00:17:00,936
Welcome home, Papa.

311
00:17:00,936 --> 00:17:04,273
We're jamming at Sully's. You want to come?

312
00:17:04,273 --> 00:17:06,191
Doesn't that sound like fun, Papa?

313
00:17:06,191 --> 00:17:07,651
That is absolutely

314
00:17:07,651 --> 00:17:10,738
the last thing my splitting headache needs.

315
00:17:10,738 --> 00:17:14,366
- Good luck, kiddo. - Sure, whatever. It's fine.

316
00:17:14,366 --> 00:17:16,618
You'll get another chance, honey.

317
00:17:16,618 --> 00:17:21,039
I would love to see your band. Are you taking requests?

318
00:17:21,957 --> 00:17:23,208
- Mom. - Yeah?

319
00:17:23,208 --> 00:17:24,960
We're not playing MacArthur Park.

320
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,170
Come on!

321
00:17:35,429 --> 00:17:39,016
Mr. Hunt! Mr. Liddy wants you to read Jack Anderson's column

322
00:17:39,016 --> 00:17:40,559
and call him immediately.

323
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:42,770
Mr. Liddy can go fuck himself.

324
00:17:43,979 --> 00:17:45,063
Good evening.

325
00:17:45,063 --> 00:17:47,608
Charges made by newspaper columnist Jack Anderson

326
00:17:47,608 --> 00:17:50,444
have raised grave questions about the integrity

327
00:17:50,444 --> 00:17:51,862
of the Nixon administration.

328
00:17:51,862 --> 00:17:53,822
Anderson wrote today that he has evidence

329
00:17:53,822 --> 00:17:56,450
that the International Telephone and Telegraph company

330
00:17:56,450 --> 00:17:58,786
made a secret deal with the administration

331
00:17:58,786 --> 00:18:02,790
to obtain a favorable settlement of a giant antitrust suit.

332
00:18:02,790 --> 00:18:06,126
Anderson said that a memo he obtained from ITT files

333
00:18:06,126 --> 00:18:08,837
showed that the settlement was a payoff for a pledge

334
00:18:08,837 --> 00:18:12,508
by ITT to contribute up to 400,000 dollars

335
00:18:12,508 --> 00:18:14,676
for the upcoming Republican National Convention

336
00:18:14,676 --> 00:18:15,886
in San Diego.

337
00:18:15,886 --> 00:18:19,348
Anderson quotes ITT's top lobbyist, Dita Beard,

338
00:18:19,348 --> 00:18:21,642
saying she discussed arrangements for settling

339
00:18:21,642 --> 00:18:23,727
the case with Attorney General John Mitchell

340
00:18:23,727 --> 00:18:25,646
at a party last May.

341
00:18:29,691 --> 00:18:32,152
- Liddy here. - It's Howard. Got your message.

342
00:18:32,152 --> 00:18:35,447
Howard, thank you for, uh, calling me back.

343
00:18:35,447 --> 00:18:37,491
Of course. I just read the paper.

344
00:18:37,491 --> 00:18:39,076
You saw it? - HOWARD: Hmm.

345
00:18:39,076 --> 00:18:42,162
"We now have evidence that the settlement

346
00:18:42,162 --> 00:18:46,375
of the Nixon Administration's biggest antitrust case

347
00:18:46,375 --> 00:18:50,504
was privately arranged between Attorney General John Mitchell

348
00:18:50,504 --> 00:18:53,382
and the top lobbyist for the company involved."

349
00:18:53,382 --> 00:18:56,218
"For 400,000 dollars in hotel rooms,

350
00:18:56,218 --> 00:19:00,848
and we have this on the word of the lobbyist herself,

351
00:19:00,848 --> 00:19:03,141
crusty, capable Dita Beard,

352
00:19:03,141 --> 00:19:05,561
the International Telephone and Telegraph Company.

353
00:19:05,561 --> 00:19:08,772
She acknowledged the secret deal after we obtained

354
00:19:08,772 --> 00:19:11,942
a highly incriminating memo,

355
00:19:11,942 --> 00:19:15,028
written by her, from ITT's files."

356
00:19:15,028 --> 00:19:16,822
They're going to crucify Mitchell.

357
00:19:16,822 --> 00:19:20,534
And the president, unless we can figure out how to stop it.

358
00:19:20,534 --> 00:19:22,369
Shit.

359
00:19:22,369 --> 00:19:23,829
We've got a second chance, Howard.

360
00:19:23,829 --> 00:19:25,539
I will call you later.

361
00:19:28,709 --> 00:19:30,127
Hey, Gordo.

362
00:19:30,127 --> 00:19:33,088
You see the papers? Dita Beard? -

363
00:19:33,088 --> 00:19:36,758
Jack Anderson has her memo that says Mitchell got Justice

364
00:19:36,758 --> 00:19:38,760
to drop an antitrust lawsuit

365
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,597
in exchange for 400,000 dollars' worth

366
00:19:41,597 --> 00:19:44,850
of San Diego hotel rooms for the Republican convention?

367
00:19:44,850 --> 00:19:45,934
Yeah.

368
00:19:48,145 --> 00:19:51,607
He is accusing our boss of felony bribery.

369
00:19:51,607 --> 00:19:53,734
If they connect this to the president...

370
00:19:53,734 --> 00:19:54,776
Calm down, okay.

371
00:19:54,776 --> 00:19:56,361
The White House said that the memo's a fake.

372
00:19:56,361 --> 00:19:58,530
It's just the usual anti-Nixon hatchet job

373
00:19:58,530 --> 00:20:02,910
by the liberal press. This will blow over, trust me.

374
00:20:02,910 --> 00:20:06,371
The Senate Judiciary Committee plans to hold a hearing tomorrow

375
00:20:06,371 --> 00:20:08,248
on charges that the Nixon Administration

376
00:20:08,248 --> 00:20:10,918
made a secret deal with the International Telephone

377
00:20:10,918 --> 00:20:12,461
and Telegraph Company.

378
00:20:12,461 --> 00:20:15,756
Attorney General John Mitchell has been summoned to testify

379
00:20:15,756 --> 00:20:17,716
and answer accusations of bribery

380
00:20:17,716 --> 00:20:19,092
raised by the so-called

381
00:20:19,092 --> 00:20:20,969
- Dita Beard memo. -

382
00:20:20,969 --> 00:20:23,305
Well, Mitchell's officially fucked.

383
00:20:23,305 --> 00:20:25,849
But we still need to have a goddamned convention.

384
00:20:25,849 --> 00:20:28,018
Yeah, well, I'm not going to hang him out to dry.

385
00:20:28,018 --> 00:20:29,770
Jim, we are moving the convention to Miami,

386
00:20:29,770 --> 00:20:31,230
ergo, we're not paying

387
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:33,440
a San Diego security firm jack shit.

388
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:34,775
All right, I'm gonna call him right now.

389
00:20:34,775 --> 00:20:36,443
Okay, I'll have the president send him a bunch

390
00:20:36,443 --> 00:20:37,778
of fucking buttons or something.

391
00:20:40,322 --> 00:20:41,907
Oh, may I see some ID?

392
00:20:45,827 --> 00:20:48,872
...in which she emphatically denied... - Jeb.

393
00:20:48,872 --> 00:20:53,001
Howard and I would like to talk to the attorney general and offer our support.

394
00:20:53,001 --> 00:20:55,170
Are you two out of your fucking minds?

395
00:20:55,170 --> 00:20:57,381
Do you think John Mitchell gives a rat's ass

396
00:20:57,381 --> 00:20:59,174
about your bullshit pranks right now?

397
00:20:59,174 --> 00:21:01,677
Mitchell doesn't want to hear from you two bozos.

398
00:21:01,677 --> 00:21:05,013
The almighty United States Senate is investigating

399
00:21:05,013 --> 00:21:07,015
this ITT memo bullshit. Okay?

400
00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:09,518
We had to move the entire convention out of San Diego

401
00:21:09,518 --> 00:21:12,437
so there would be no reminder of Sheraton Hotels.

402
00:21:13,021 --> 00:21:14,064
And the worst part,

403
00:21:14,064 --> 00:21:17,067
is that we had 400 grand in free hotel rooms.

404
00:21:17,067 --> 00:21:19,903
And you know who's paying for it now? I am!

405
00:21:21,863 --> 00:21:24,366
Columnist Jack Anderson returned for a final day of testimony...

406
00:21:24,366 --> 00:21:26,201
I knew this Dita Beard stuff was gonna come back

407
00:21:26,201 --> 00:21:27,411
and bite us in the ass.

408
00:21:27,411 --> 00:21:31,289
- This is the whole reelection! - What can I do to help?

409
00:21:31,289 --> 00:21:34,126
You want to help? Go kill Jack Anderson.

410
00:21:35,252 --> 00:21:39,756
- Roger that. - I mean...

411
00:21:39,756 --> 00:21:43,135
...and for him to suggest that he didn't know

412
00:21:43,135 --> 00:21:44,219
about the arrangements

413
00:21:44,219 --> 00:21:46,304
for the convention that he's going to direct,

414
00:21:46,304 --> 00:21:49,391
uh... ...that strains the truth.

415
00:21:49,391 --> 00:21:51,560
- And, uh... - I just talked to my guy.

416
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,645
If we don't pay, he's going to sue.

417
00:21:53,645 --> 00:21:54,980
Uh, where is Gordon?

418
00:21:54,980 --> 00:21:57,065
- He left. - Where'd he go?

419
00:21:57,065 --> 00:21:58,692
He said he was off to kill Jack Anderson.

420
00:21:58,692 --> 00:22:01,111
Oh, shit. Here.

421
00:22:04,031 --> 00:22:06,241
Move! Goddammit, move! Move!

422
00:22:06,241 --> 00:22:10,662
Gordon! Gordon! Hey! Hey!

423
00:22:12,414 --> 00:22:14,916
McCord told me--

424
00:22:14,916 --> 00:22:17,919
Are you going to shoot Jack Anderson?

425
00:22:21,131 --> 00:22:25,552
When I get an order, I execute it, Jeb.

426
00:22:25,552 --> 00:22:27,929
I was joking, you crazy bastard!

427
00:22:27,929 --> 00:22:31,308
Come on, I want to talk to you upstairs.

428
00:22:34,102 --> 00:22:36,980
I am no joke.

429
00:22:38,273 --> 00:22:41,234
- I am serious. Deadly serious. -

430
00:22:43,445 --> 00:22:46,990
You touch me again, and I will kill you.

431
00:22:57,751 --> 00:23:01,713
Yes, if you could have, uh, Dr. Downey call back

432
00:23:01,713 --> 00:23:03,131
as soon as possible.

433
00:23:04,132 --> 00:23:06,968
Well, it's about my daughter, Lisa.

434
00:23:06,968 --> 00:23:07,969
Howard.

435
00:23:07,969 --> 00:23:09,554
Yeah. Okay. Thank you.

436
00:23:09,554 --> 00:23:11,473
- I left word with the doctor. -

437
00:23:11,473 --> 00:23:13,266
- She's going to be okay. - She-- she's locked herself

438
00:23:13,266 --> 00:23:14,476
- in the bathroom. -

439
00:23:14,476 --> 00:23:17,062
She won't come out. It's-- It's getting worse.

440
00:23:20,774 --> 00:23:24,778
Lisa. Open up. Your mother's getting worried.

441
00:23:24,778 --> 00:23:26,363
Maybe she fell asleep?

442
00:23:26,363 --> 00:23:28,073
- In the tub? - I hear something.

443
00:23:28,073 --> 00:23:29,616
Lisa? Sweetie? -

444
00:23:29,616 --> 00:23:33,453
- Lisa, open this door right now! - Don't yell.

445
00:23:33,453 --> 00:23:36,248
- I'm not yelling! - Yelling doesn't help anything.

446
00:23:36,248 --> 00:23:38,166
- Is Lisa gonna be okay? - Go back in your room!

447
00:23:38,166 --> 00:23:41,628
Don't yell at him! Lisa, open this door right now,

448
00:23:41,628 --> 00:23:44,005
or I'm gonna break it down! - DOROTHY: Howard. Howard!

449
00:23:44,005 --> 00:23:45,841
Go answer that.

450
00:23:45,841 --> 00:23:47,592
- It might be the doctor. -

451
00:23:49,344 --> 00:23:52,722
Lisa, please. Lisa.

452
00:23:58,937 --> 00:24:01,356
Hunt residence.

453
00:24:01,356 --> 00:24:03,191
Howard Hunt, please? - Speaking.

454
00:24:03,191 --> 00:24:05,485
I have Charles Colson calling from the White House.

455
00:24:05,485 --> 00:24:07,654
Put him through. - COLSON'S SECRETARY: Hold, please.

456
00:24:09,531 --> 00:24:11,658
Howard! - Mm.

457
00:24:11,658 --> 00:24:13,827
Chuck! How the hell are you?

458
00:24:13,827 --> 00:24:16,955
Doing good, and you? - Oh, fine and dandy.

459
00:24:16,955 --> 00:24:21,877
Just a typical Saturday with the family.

460
00:24:21,877 --> 00:24:23,378
Howard, there's been a development

461
00:24:23,378 --> 00:24:24,963
with the Dita Beard situation.

462
00:24:24,963 --> 00:24:26,381
Sweetie? Lisa.

463
00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:29,259
Sis? Come on. Open up. Please?

464
00:24:29,259 --> 00:24:31,303
What did the doctor say?

465
00:24:31,303 --> 00:24:33,847
That was Colson. I'm needed at the White House.

466
00:24:33,847 --> 00:24:35,599
No. You're needed here.

467
00:24:35,599 --> 00:24:37,142
Your family needs you.

468
00:24:37,142 --> 00:24:39,394
Your daughter needs you. I need you!

469
00:24:39,394 --> 00:24:42,856
I don't know what to do with this.

470
00:24:42,856 --> 00:24:46,651
She won't come out. Everything I do is wrong.

471
00:24:46,651 --> 00:24:47,861
What do you want from me?

472
00:24:47,861 --> 00:24:50,280
How about for once you make us feel like we matter

473
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,117
more than your stupid job or the stupid White House?

474
00:24:54,117 --> 00:24:56,286
That you give a damn about your family?

475
00:24:57,412 --> 00:25:00,665
Lisa. Lisa, please, honey. Come on.

476
00:25:02,626 --> 00:25:04,294
Sweetie?

477
00:25:10,550 --> 00:25:12,761
What the fuck! - DOROTHY: Lisa?

478
00:25:12,761 --> 00:25:15,931
She's fine. I care. I'm going to work.

479
00:25:17,057 --> 00:25:18,850
- Honey. - Hi, Mama.

480
00:25:18,850 --> 00:25:20,644
- My God. -

481
00:25:28,735 --> 00:25:29,778
Sorry.

482
00:25:31,821 --> 00:25:35,283
Gentlemen. The White House's experts say the Dita Beard memo

483
00:25:35,283 --> 00:25:36,326
is a problem.

484
00:25:36,326 --> 00:25:38,995
But if we can keep Beard from testifying,

485
00:25:38,995 --> 00:25:41,373
the case against Mitchell will collapse.

486
00:25:41,373 --> 00:25:43,833
Uh, I'm sorry. Sorry. So what do you need us for?

487
00:25:43,833 --> 00:25:48,672
Because the Senate deposes Beard tomorrow...

488
00:25:48,672 --> 00:25:51,800
and if she testifies that she did write it,

489
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,094
her testimony will be on the record, then the...

490
00:25:55,887 --> 00:25:58,098
that's enough for the Senate to keep digging.

491
00:25:58,098 --> 00:25:59,724
And why would she do that?

492
00:25:59,724 --> 00:26:02,227
- Jesus Christ. - That's why Colson wants us

493
00:26:02,227 --> 00:26:04,896
to get her out of town and shut her up.

494
00:26:04,896 --> 00:26:08,024
That would certainly be fortunate.

495
00:26:08,024 --> 00:26:11,361
Gentlemen. Who knows? You may even impress Mr. Mitchell.

496
00:26:14,531 --> 00:26:16,950
You know what we could do which would solve this problem--

497
00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:20,495
Please, Gordon, do not say, "Kill her."

498
00:26:22,789 --> 00:26:27,335
A dead dog chases no cars.

499
00:26:27,335 --> 00:26:32,882
The murder of the Senate's lead witness

500
00:26:32,882 --> 00:26:37,345
would not lessen Mitchell's legal scrutiny.

501
00:26:37,345 --> 00:26:41,016
Fine. But solving this would put us

502
00:26:41,016 --> 00:26:43,184
in Mitchell's good graces.

503
00:26:43,184 --> 00:26:47,230
Yeah. That is going to take some finesse.

504
00:27:22,098 --> 00:27:23,475
Who the fuck are you?

505
00:27:23,475 --> 00:27:26,811
Mrs. Beard, my name is George F. Leonard,

506
00:27:26,811 --> 00:27:28,104
and I am an attorney.

507
00:27:28,104 --> 00:27:32,359
Bullshit! You look like one of those Manson family freaks.

508
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,821
I apologize for the late hour and the disguise,

509
00:27:36,821 --> 00:27:40,742
but I suspect you are under FBI surveillance.

510
00:27:45,830 --> 00:27:46,873
What do you want?

511
00:27:46,873 --> 00:27:50,251
I'm here to offer you some free legal advice.

512
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:03,139
Hmm. How many kids do you have?

513
00:28:03,139 --> 00:28:04,432
Five. - Oh?

514
00:28:04,432 --> 00:28:07,602
All grown or in military school.

515
00:28:07,602 --> 00:28:10,438
Outstanding. I have five myself.

516
00:28:11,272 --> 00:28:12,565
So, George,

517
00:28:12,565 --> 00:28:16,194
you said you had friends at the White House?

518
00:28:16,194 --> 00:28:18,988
Affirmative.

519
00:28:18,988 --> 00:28:23,201
Well, some fair-haired fucker over there is spreading rumors

520
00:28:23,201 --> 00:28:26,121
that Jack Anderson and I are homosexuals,

521
00:28:26,121 --> 00:28:30,917
that we're in cahoots on some sort of lesbo-homo plot

522
00:28:30,917 --> 00:28:33,461
- against Nixon. -

523
00:28:33,461 --> 00:28:36,381
I can assure you, I know nothing about that.

524
00:28:36,381 --> 00:28:37,966
Neither homo nor lesbo.

525
00:28:37,966 --> 00:28:40,343
Do I look like a lesbian?

526
00:28:40,343 --> 00:28:42,804
No, ma'am. You seem straight as I am.

527
00:28:42,804 --> 00:28:46,307
They're making me a pariah! My own party!

528
00:28:46,307 --> 00:28:48,476
I am in some goddamn pickle!

529
00:28:48,476 --> 00:28:52,188
- You're not wrong. You could go to jail. -

530
00:28:52,188 --> 00:28:56,401
Thanks for the pick-me-up, fella. Shit on a shingle.

531
00:28:56,401 --> 00:29:01,948
But... here's the good news, you can avoid being deposed,

532
00:29:01,948 --> 00:29:05,743
with no legal repercussions. Just abracadabra,

533
00:29:05,743 --> 00:29:10,540
- it all goes away. - But I did write the memo.

534
00:29:10,540 --> 00:29:14,419
And I told Anderson I wrote the memo.

535
00:29:14,419 --> 00:29:17,046
They're grilling me first thing in the morning.

536
00:29:18,923 --> 00:29:22,969
Do you have any, um, medical conditions?

537
00:29:22,969 --> 00:29:25,889
I'm a very physical woman, George.

538
00:29:25,889 --> 00:29:31,978
Hiking, camping, snowmobiling... fucking.

539
00:29:34,397 --> 00:29:38,109
I meant, like... cancer in the family?

540
00:29:38,943 --> 00:29:40,820
- I wish. - Psychiatric problems?

541
00:29:40,820 --> 00:29:43,781
- Oh, hell no. - Fainting spells?

542
00:29:43,781 --> 00:29:46,326
George, I am as healthy as a horse,

543
00:29:46,326 --> 00:29:48,536
except for the occasional angina.

544
00:29:53,958 --> 00:29:55,627
What is angina?

545
00:29:55,627 --> 00:29:56,878
Coming through!

546
00:29:56,878 --> 00:29:59,422
Rocky Mountain is the finest osteopathic hospital

547
00:29:59,422 --> 00:30:01,508
in the greater Denver Metropolitan Area.

548
00:30:01,508 --> 00:30:04,135
Osteopath? You may as well take her to a veterinarian.

549
00:30:04,135 --> 00:30:06,346
And you're on oxygen! Why are you...

550
00:30:06,346 --> 00:30:08,389
Edwina, you are raising my blood pressure!

551
00:30:10,517 --> 00:30:14,312
Hold the door! Hold the door!

552
00:30:14,312 --> 00:30:16,481
Dita Beard experienced chest pains

553
00:30:16,481 --> 00:30:17,649
while flying into Denver

554
00:30:17,649 --> 00:30:19,984
and had to receive oxygen on the flight.

555
00:30:19,984 --> 00:30:23,154
Mrs. Beard was admitted to an area hospital

556
00:30:23,154 --> 00:30:24,614
in a serious condition.

557
00:30:24,614 --> 00:30:26,783
As for Dita Beard getting out of bed

558
00:30:26,783 --> 00:30:29,202
to come back to Washington, not now,

559
00:30:29,202 --> 00:30:32,413
and not for some time yet, doctor's orders.

560
00:30:38,044 --> 00:30:39,921
We've got a problem, Howard.

561
00:30:39,921 --> 00:30:41,673
- A Dita Beard problem. -

562
00:30:41,673 --> 00:30:43,675
A team of senators is heading to Colorado

563
00:30:43,675 --> 00:30:45,385
to depose her in two days,

564
00:30:45,385 --> 00:30:47,679
including your good friend, Teddy Kennedy.

565
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:49,597
That fat-headed booze bag.

566
00:30:49,597 --> 00:30:51,849
They should depose him about Chappaquiddick.

567
00:30:51,849 --> 00:30:53,601
If there were any justice in the world.

568
00:30:53,601 --> 00:30:55,353
You know, it wouldn't be the worst thing for Beard

569
00:30:55,353 --> 00:30:58,398
to actually have a heart attack, right as Kennedy's grilling her.

570
00:30:58,398 --> 00:30:59,482
Then you could say,

571
00:30:59,482 --> 00:31:01,734
"Senator, now, you've killed two women!"

572
00:31:03,736 --> 00:31:06,906
Howard, this Beard thing keeps escalating.

573
00:31:06,906 --> 00:31:11,202
I know. What if Beard herself were to question

574
00:31:11,202 --> 00:31:13,871
the memo's authenticity?

575
00:31:13,871 --> 00:31:15,832
Hypothetically, how much in the way

576
00:31:15,832 --> 00:31:18,793
of funds could someone access for the purposes

577
00:31:18,793 --> 00:31:21,546
- of such an endeavor? - No. No, no, no.

578
00:31:21,546 --> 00:31:24,465
There is no way I or anyone at the committee would authorize

579
00:31:24,465 --> 00:31:28,386
funds to influence the testimony of a witness in a federal case.

580
00:31:28,386 --> 00:31:30,805
What about ITT?

581
00:31:30,805 --> 00:31:32,348
She's still on the payroll.

582
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,187
Say no more. I know what to do.

583
00:31:39,397 --> 00:31:41,691
I feel the need to say this again, Howard.

584
00:31:41,691 --> 00:31:42,942
For the record,

585
00:31:42,942 --> 00:31:46,112
I am not even suggesting that you do anything.

586
00:31:48,698 --> 00:31:49,782
Roger that.

587
00:32:04,047 --> 00:32:06,841
Aw, I don't want to read this shit.

588
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:09,761
I want something with small words

589
00:32:09,761 --> 00:32:12,680
and big pictures. Cosmo.

590
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,183
- Okay. -

591
00:32:15,183 --> 00:32:17,685
It better be the red fucking Jell-O this time!

592
00:32:21,147 --> 00:32:26,152
- Mrs. Beard. Edwina. - Who are you?

593
00:32:26,152 --> 00:32:29,822
My name is Edward J. Hamilton, I represent men

594
00:32:29,822 --> 00:32:32,325
at the highest levels in Washington D.C.

595
00:32:32,325 --> 00:32:36,162
Yeah, Mr. Leonard said you might come by.

596
00:32:36,162 --> 00:32:39,248
- Edwina, run along, huh? - Okay.

597
00:32:42,627 --> 00:32:46,130
Why are you wearing a wig? It's not even on right.

598
00:32:46,130 --> 00:32:47,799
I assure you, Miss,

599
00:32:47,799 --> 00:32:50,468
nothing I do is accidental.

600
00:32:52,637 --> 00:32:55,264
Well, that's her drinking water.

601
00:32:55,264 --> 00:32:58,893
Oh, I know. - BEARD: Edwina! Scoot!

602
00:32:58,893 --> 00:33:01,104
I'll be right outside, Mother.

603
00:33:03,231 --> 00:33:06,109
- Hmm. - How are the osteopaths treating you?

604
00:33:06,109 --> 00:33:10,321
I've been in a pig farm that's cleaner.

605
00:33:10,321 --> 00:33:13,199
I wouldn't trust them to clip my toenails,

606
00:33:13,199 --> 00:33:17,286
let alone... ...treat a heart condition.

607
00:33:17,286 --> 00:33:19,997
- Hmm. - You got a smoke?

608
00:33:24,585 --> 00:33:27,505
- Yeah. I guess the, uh... -

609
00:33:27,505 --> 00:33:28,840
...the party's over, huh?

610
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,759
Sounds like the whole goddamn Senate is coming to visit.

611
00:33:32,176 --> 00:33:33,386
I'm sorry.

612
00:33:34,637 --> 00:33:35,722
Hold on.

613
00:33:36,848 --> 00:33:39,809
There's nothing those Senators want more

614
00:33:39,809 --> 00:33:43,730
than for you to declare that memo a fraud

615
00:33:43,730 --> 00:33:47,024
so that they can go back to business as usual.

616
00:33:47,024 --> 00:33:49,402
- Bullshit. - Listen.

617
00:33:51,738 --> 00:33:56,909
I have worked in countries across the globe,

618
00:33:56,909 --> 00:34:01,998
I've met presidents, kings, dictators,

619
00:34:01,998 --> 00:34:05,960
and they all desperately need one thing

620
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,672
to keep them in power. Money.

621
00:34:11,132 --> 00:34:13,301
How many of those Senate fat cats

622
00:34:13,301 --> 00:34:15,678
have been greased by lobbyists?

623
00:34:15,678 --> 00:34:18,181
All of them. Believe me.

624
00:34:18,181 --> 00:34:20,141
I know. I do the greasing.

625
00:34:20,141 --> 00:34:22,477
So these are your choices.

626
00:34:22,477 --> 00:34:24,812
You can tell the Senators tomorrow

627
00:34:24,812 --> 00:34:28,566
what you told Britt Hume and Jack Anderson.

628
00:34:29,609 --> 00:34:32,779
And you know who benefits? Not your party.

629
00:34:32,779 --> 00:34:36,741
Not your president. Not the Senate.

630
00:34:36,741 --> 00:34:40,077
Not your country. Not your family.

631
00:34:40,077 --> 00:34:42,246
And certainly not you.

632
00:34:42,246 --> 00:34:45,374
Because you still go to jail for bribery.

633
00:34:45,374 --> 00:34:46,542
And for what?

634
00:34:46,542 --> 00:34:50,671
To make the journalists and Democrats happy?

635
00:34:50,671 --> 00:34:53,883
- Donkey fuckers. -

636
00:34:54,509 --> 00:34:56,511
Donkey fuckers, indeed.

637
00:34:56,511 --> 00:35:01,933
On the other hand, if you stick with the White House's story...

638
00:35:03,142 --> 00:35:06,062
and you stay loyal to your party.

639
00:35:06,062 --> 00:35:10,525
There's a very good chance that you walk away scot-free,

640
00:35:10,525 --> 00:35:15,780
and sparing your family the embarrassing

641
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:19,826
public spectacle of a lengthy investigation.

642
00:35:19,826 --> 00:35:24,831
Yeah, Edwina... Edwina is just wrecked by this.

643
00:35:24,831 --> 00:35:28,459
And she works for the fucking RNC.

644
00:35:28,459 --> 00:35:29,669
Poor kid.

645
00:35:34,298 --> 00:35:38,010
I can see... how much you love her.

646
00:35:38,010 --> 00:35:41,722
Fuck yes. She's my baby girl.

647
00:35:42,765 --> 00:35:44,308
She needs you right now.

648
00:35:45,518 --> 00:35:47,353
She needs to know...

649
00:35:48,521 --> 00:35:52,817
that she's the most important thing in your world.

650
00:35:54,193 --> 00:35:57,154
More important than ITT or anything else.

651
00:35:57,947 --> 00:35:59,866
Because she's your family,

652
00:36:00,783 --> 00:36:05,037
and family always comes first.

653
00:36:05,037 --> 00:36:08,499
- Oh, yeah. - Before work.

654
00:36:10,167 --> 00:36:11,460
Before country.

655
00:36:14,172 --> 00:36:15,339
Before everything.

656
00:36:30,354 --> 00:36:31,898
And I'm willing to bet...

657
00:36:34,192 --> 00:36:36,277
that your ITT family...

658
00:36:39,071 --> 00:36:40,448
rewards loyalty...

659
00:36:43,492 --> 00:36:45,244
especially around Christmas.

660
00:36:46,579 --> 00:36:47,663
In the meantime...

661
00:36:48,956 --> 00:36:50,625
here's a stocking stuffer.

662
00:37:06,057 --> 00:37:07,058
Edwina!

663
00:37:24,325 --> 00:37:25,868
Please state your name.

664
00:37:25,868 --> 00:37:28,746
Dita Beard. A lobbyist for ITT.

665
00:37:28,746 --> 00:37:30,998
We are on the record. -

666
00:37:30,998 --> 00:37:33,876
Mrs. Beard, do you recognize this document?

667
00:37:47,264 --> 00:37:49,517
I do not.

668
00:37:52,103 --> 00:37:55,147
Mrs. Beard, is this not your signed memo

669
00:37:55,147 --> 00:37:59,110
regarding ITT's bribery of the Nixon Administration?

670
00:37:59,110 --> 00:38:02,738
That is certainly what it says. But I didn't write it.

671
00:38:02,738 --> 00:38:07,201
No, that is a goddamn forgery. That is not even my signature.

672
00:38:08,619 --> 00:38:10,997
Mrs. Beard, may I remind you, you are under oath?

673
00:38:10,997 --> 00:38:16,711
I was not even in the offi-- Oh, God-- Oh, honey!

674
00:38:16,711 --> 00:38:18,212
Edwina!

675
00:38:18,212 --> 00:38:20,131
I'm here, Mama! -

676
00:38:20,131 --> 00:38:21,340
Mrs. Beard, is this your--

677
00:38:21,340 --> 00:38:23,009
I can't breathe! - Stop it, stop it!

678
00:38:23,009 --> 00:38:25,094
That's enough! Everyone out! -

679
00:38:25,094 --> 00:38:26,887
- Oh, help. Help me! - Get out!

680
00:38:26,887 --> 00:38:29,306
- Someone get the doctor! - Oh, my God! I can't breathe.

681
00:38:29,306 --> 00:38:31,225
I can't breathe.

682
00:38:31,225 --> 00:38:34,311
Doctor! Doctor! -

683
00:38:35,312 --> 00:38:37,481
Doctor! I can't breathe.

684
00:38:37,481 --> 00:38:39,525
Go away! Go away!

685
00:38:39,525 --> 00:38:41,444
Once. - ST. Shit!

686
00:38:41,444 --> 00:38:43,779
- Very nice, Lisa. - Thank you.

687
00:38:43,779 --> 00:38:46,532
...testifying from her Denver hospital bedside

688
00:38:46,532 --> 00:38:48,284
in front of the Senate subcommittee members... - Four.

689
00:38:48,284 --> 00:38:51,370
Very nice. Lisa, honey, did you remember to--

690
00:38:51,370 --> 00:38:53,497
Yes, Mother. I took my pill.

691
00:38:56,292 --> 00:38:57,293
Thank you.

692
00:38:57,293 --> 00:39:02,423
Coming in for the kill. B-E-D. Bed.

693
00:39:02,423 --> 00:39:04,967
Anderson and his associate, Brit Hume,

694
00:39:04,967 --> 00:39:08,596
believe somebody persuaded Mrs. Beard to change her story

695
00:39:08,596 --> 00:39:09,764
in Denver...

696
00:39:12,224 --> 00:39:13,559
Bonsoir, bonsoir.

697
00:39:13,559 --> 00:39:16,270
- Hi, Papa. Where were you? - Denver.

698
00:39:17,563 --> 00:39:19,023
Do you wanna play with us?

699
00:39:21,317 --> 00:39:22,610
Yeah, Papa?

700
00:39:27,281 --> 00:39:28,324
Sure.

701
00:39:29,909 --> 00:39:31,452
Make room for Papa.

702
00:39:35,998 --> 00:39:37,666
Hmm?

703
00:39:37,666 --> 00:39:44,173
Uh, D-O-N-E. Done.

704
00:39:44,173 --> 00:39:47,384
Us are useless without Qs.

705
00:39:47,384 --> 00:39:50,346
Actually, it's the other way around.

706
00:39:51,347 --> 00:39:52,807
Ooh.

707
00:39:54,892 --> 00:39:58,145
- Xerox. -

708
00:39:58,145 --> 00:40:00,022
That's a proper noun.

709
00:40:00,022 --> 00:40:02,316
- What is? - Xerox.

710
00:40:02,316 --> 00:40:05,444
No, it's become just a regular word.

711
00:40:05,444 --> 00:40:09,698
I mean, nobody says, "Hey, can you photocopy this?"

712
00:40:09,698 --> 00:40:11,951
It-- it's still a proper noun. - LISA: Mama.

713
00:40:11,951 --> 00:40:15,204
We're just playing for fun.

714
00:40:15,204 --> 00:40:18,332
We're not keeping s-- score.

715
00:40:18,332 --> 00:40:23,295
What's the point of playing a game with no rules. Right?

716
00:40:23,295 --> 00:40:27,216
- Then it's just anarchy. - Actually, Papa,

717
00:40:27,216 --> 00:40:29,176
this is anarchy! -

718
00:40:29,176 --> 00:40:31,053
Fuck your college education.

719
00:40:31,804 --> 00:40:32,972
Howard.

720
00:40:35,015 --> 00:40:37,685
- That was unacceptable. - I agree.

721
00:40:37,685 --> 00:40:40,980
Bravo! Bravo, gentlemen! - HOWARD: Thanks.

722
00:40:40,980 --> 00:40:43,190
Bravo! Have a seat right there!

723
00:40:43,190 --> 00:40:44,191
We, uh...

724
00:40:44,191 --> 00:40:45,526
...we thought you might like to know,

725
00:40:45,526 --> 00:40:47,319
our sources tell us that the Senate

726
00:40:47,319 --> 00:40:49,238
has denied Ted Kennedy's request

727
00:40:49,238 --> 00:40:51,323
for further hearings, thanks to you.

728
00:40:51,323 --> 00:40:53,409
Oh, no. Thanks to him.

729
00:40:53,409 --> 00:40:56,287
- Oh. - I'm still not quite sure how he pulled it off, though.

730
00:40:56,287 --> 00:40:58,873
- It-- It was a team effort. -

731
00:40:58,873 --> 00:41:02,042
I assume you guys heard the news about Mr. Hoover this morning?

732
00:41:02,042 --> 00:41:04,461
We sent our condolences to the Widow Tolson.

733
00:41:05,754 --> 00:41:06,922
The Good Lord finally did

734
00:41:06,922 --> 00:41:09,049
what the last five presidents never could.

735
00:41:11,260 --> 00:41:12,553
Oh!

736
00:41:14,889 --> 00:41:18,893
Congratulations, gentlemen. Great work on helping Ms. Beard

737
00:41:18,893 --> 00:41:21,729
- get her facts straight. - Our pleasure, sir.

738
00:41:23,606 --> 00:41:26,692
Oh, by the way, Project GEMSTONE has been approved.

739
00:41:30,196 --> 00:41:32,656
I want you two to put together your team ASAP.

740
00:41:32,656 --> 00:41:34,658
Uh, that's-- that's my cue.

741
00:41:34,658 --> 00:41:36,035
- Uh, nice work. Nice work. - Oh, yeah.

742
00:41:36,035 --> 00:41:37,286
All right,

743
00:41:37,286 --> 00:41:39,788
I want you two to huddle with McCord

744
00:41:39,788 --> 00:41:42,041
and tell me what you're going to need, all right?

745
00:41:42,041 --> 00:41:45,127
McCord? What are we doing with McCord?

746
00:41:45,127 --> 00:41:46,754
He's head of security for the committee

747
00:41:46,754 --> 00:41:48,088
and Mitchell thought he could be useful.

748
00:41:48,088 --> 00:41:51,509
What? Mitchell fired him! He was Martha's babysitter!

749
00:41:51,509 --> 00:41:54,428
I know. He's also a whiz with gizmos, bugs,

750
00:41:54,428 --> 00:41:58,766
and electronic surveillance, ex-CIA and ex-FBI,

751
00:41:58,766 --> 00:42:00,935
so he's the perfect playmate for you two.

752
00:42:00,935 --> 00:42:03,812
And we can afford him, because he's already on the payroll.

753
00:42:03,812 --> 00:42:04,855
Don't you get it?

754
00:42:04,855 --> 00:42:07,107
We need operatives who are off the payroll.

755
00:42:07,107 --> 00:42:08,525
Plausible deniability.

756
00:42:08,525 --> 00:42:10,402
- It-- It's fine. - No.

757
00:42:10,402 --> 00:42:11,862
We'll have McCord wire the yacht.

758
00:42:11,862 --> 00:42:14,782
Oh, about that. Uh, there is no yacht.

759
00:42:14,782 --> 00:42:17,618
- What? - And no hookers, sadly.

760
00:42:17,618 --> 00:42:20,412
Those hookers were looking forward to it.

761
00:42:20,412 --> 00:42:23,916
I know, but only one GEMSTONE was approved

762
00:42:23,916 --> 00:42:26,252
and your new operating budget is 250 thou,

763
00:42:26,252 --> 00:42:28,087
which should be more than ample.

764
00:42:28,087 --> 00:42:30,464
Goddammit, Jeb, that's a quarter of what we were promised!

765
00:42:30,464 --> 00:42:31,924
Hold on.

766
00:42:31,924 --> 00:42:34,093
Which gemstone was approved?

767
00:42:35,594 --> 00:42:40,808
Project fucking OPAL. Out of 12 gemstones,

768
00:42:40,808 --> 00:42:45,312
they pick the bugging of the DNC. Where's the vision?

769
00:42:46,105 --> 00:42:48,357
It is the cheapest.

770
00:42:48,357 --> 00:42:50,609
And you're still gonna need to pay me, Gordon.

771
00:42:50,609 --> 00:42:51,902
Not now, Jim.

772
00:42:51,902 --> 00:42:54,655
That's a really big fucking building, boss.

773
00:42:54,655 --> 00:42:56,031
I heard the hotel is nice.

774
00:42:56,031 --> 00:43:00,786
Don't worry. Villo can pick any lock in there. Right, Villo?

775
00:43:00,786 --> 00:43:01,996
Qué? Qué?

776
00:43:01,996 --> 00:43:03,622
What the fuck are we doing staring at this building?

777
00:43:03,622 --> 00:43:06,000
Some of us are six hours overdue for pussy.

778
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,835
- Adiós. - Oh, Frank.

779
00:43:07,835 --> 00:43:10,296
Gentlemen. Frank! Forget Frank.

780
00:43:10,296 --> 00:43:15,301
Gentlemen, we are going to do great things for this country.

781
00:43:15,301 --> 00:43:20,097
Can I ask a question? I'll say. Which one is the Watergate?

782
00:43:23,559 --> 00:43:25,602
It's right there. That's it. - The condominium.

783
00:43:27,688 --> 00:43:30,983
I know, but it's my first time here, boss!

784
00:43:39,325 --> 00:43:43,203
No parkin' by the sewer sign Hot dog, my razor's broke

785
00:43:43,203 --> 00:43:44,663
Water drippin' up the spout

786
00:43:44,663 --> 00:43:47,333
But I don't care Let it all hang out

787
00:43:51,587 --> 00:43:53,964
Hangin' from a pine tree By my knees

788
00:43:53,964 --> 00:43:55,758
Sun is shinin' Through the shade

789
00:43:55,758 --> 00:43:57,968
Nobody knows What it's all about

790
00:43:57,968 --> 00:44:00,554
It's too much, man Let it all hang out

791
00:44:19,031 --> 00:44:22,868
Saw a man walkin' upside down My TV's on the blink

792
00:44:22,868 --> 00:44:25,287
Made Galileo Look like a Boy Scout

793
00:44:25,287 --> 00:44:27,831
Sorry 'bout that Let it all hang out

794
00:44:32,878 --> 00:44:37,883
Sleep all day, drive all night Brain my numb, can't stop now

795
00:44:37,883 --> 00:44:39,343
For sure ain't no doubt

796
00:44:39,343 --> 00:44:42,012
Keep an open mind Let it all hang out

797
00:45:04,326 --> 00:45:06,662
It's rainin' Inside a big brown moon

798
00:45:06,662 --> 00:45:08,956
How does that mess Your baby up, leg

799
00:45:08,956 --> 00:45:11,333
Eatin' a Reuben sandwich With sauerkraut

800
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:14,211
Don't stop now, baby Let it all hang out

801
00:45:18,549 --> 00:45:20,259
Let it all hang out

802
00:45:22,511 --> 00:45:24,304
Let it all hang out

803
00:45:26,473 --> 00:45:27,850
Let it all hang out
