2
00:00:56,990 --> 00:00:58,580
You got a cloudy Monday ahead today

3
00:00:58,670 --> 00:01:00,180
here in the nation's capital.

4
00:01:00,270 --> 00:01:04,860
Chance of rain showers and a likely
chance of some drizzle that continues...

5
00:01:04,990 --> 00:01:08,340
With President Nixon
facing an uncertain re-election,

6
00:01:08,430 --> 00:01:11,100
candidates for the Democratic Party
are accusing him

7
00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:14,340
of failing to end
American involvement in Vietnam.

8
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:17,500
Members of the Committee
to re-elect the President

9
00:01:17,630 --> 00:01:20,940
were in Jacksonville today
on their campaign trip through Florida.

10
00:01:21,030 --> 00:01:24,020
And for a report on that,
here's Georgia Wilson.

11
00:01:24,110 --> 00:01:27,140
Wife of the Attorney
General, Mrs. Richard Kleindienst.

12
00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:30,540
This is the final weekend

13
00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:32,540
of our month-long extravaganza sale.

14
00:01:33,350 --> 00:01:35,260
All sizes all on sale!

15
00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:37,860
In Washington,
yet another public demonstration

16
00:01:37,950 --> 00:01:40,700
by some citizens
opposed to the Vietnam War.

17
00:01:41,070 --> 00:01:42,860
Reporter Alan Witten.

18
00:01:43,070 --> 00:01:45,860
It was festive
as the crowd turned to Capitol Hill.

19
00:01:46,030 --> 00:01:49,140
In an hour's time,
several thousand people had joined hands

20
00:01:49,230 --> 00:01:53,500
to form a complete circle of war protest
around the US Capitol.

21
00:02:01,870 --> 00:02:04,330
Clean and Shine
to the rescue! Cleans up stains,

22
00:02:04,550 --> 00:02:08,460
only the shine remains. No rubbing.
No trimming, no foul smells.

23
00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:11,620
A sharp recession
has shaken economic confidence.

24
00:02:11,710 --> 00:02:14,900
As a result, a large field of
Democratic challengers has emerged

25
00:02:14,990 --> 00:02:17,820
and would beat Nixon
if the election were held today.

26
00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:20,180
- Five different flavors!
- Five different meals!

27
00:02:20,270 --> 00:02:22,340
One happy family!

28
00:03:41,710 --> 00:03:45,260
One, two, three, four!
We don't want your fucking war!

29
00:03:45,510 --> 00:03:49,220
One, two, three, four!
We don't want your fucking war!

30
00:03:52,590 --> 00:03:54,980
Mark Felt.

31
00:04:00,950 --> 00:04:03,620
Gentlemen. Mr. Dean.

32
00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:05,940
Goddamn Russian revolution out there.

33
00:04:06,870 --> 00:04:08,500
Why aren't we arresting anybody?

34
00:04:08,750 --> 00:04:11,140
Because that isn't a crime.

35
00:04:14,910 --> 00:04:16,820
Right now the president
needs your advice.

36
00:04:16,910 --> 00:04:20,340
Yeah, Hoover's run the FBI,
what, 40 years?

37
00:04:20,430 --> 00:04:23,100
- Fifty.
- Fifty goddamn years.

38
00:04:23,390 --> 00:04:26,620
You know, Johnson and Kennedy
wanted to fire him, don't you?

39
00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:28,170
But they didn't have the balls.

40
00:04:28,390 --> 00:04:33,380
If the president were to ask
Mr. Hoover to step aside,

41
00:04:34,190 --> 00:04:35,940
how would you suggest he do it?

42
00:04:38,630 --> 00:04:41,270
We know you to be a friend
to this administration.

43
00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:43,970
We like to see our friends
get what they deserve.

44
00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:47,260
- You're next in line.
- There is no line, Mr. Mitchell.

45
00:04:48,670 --> 00:04:50,580
The president is asking.

46
00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:56,740
Mr. Hoover would want to keep
his bullet-proof car.

47
00:04:59,950 --> 00:05:02,540
You're a real politician, Felt.

48
00:05:04,350 --> 00:05:06,420
Then thanks for popping by.

49
00:05:09,750 --> 00:05:10,900
If I may.

50
00:05:13,150 --> 00:05:17,140
There is one thing Mr. Hoover knows
that's been on all your minds.

51
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:23,930
Whenever the FBI hears
a piece of gossip or information,

52
00:05:24,030 --> 00:05:29,180
such as "I saw so-and-so out
with another woman, not his wife,"

53
00:05:29,790 --> 00:05:32,980
or a man, not his wife,

54
00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:36,180
we're supposed
to write everything down, and we do.

55
00:05:36,270 --> 00:05:38,140
We write it all down in memos.

56
00:05:39,510 --> 00:05:41,100
These memos come to me,

57
00:05:41,230 --> 00:05:44,780
and I decide what information
Mr. Hoover needs to know,

58
00:05:45,070 --> 00:05:47,220
and send that up to Mr. Hoover.

59
00:05:47,790 --> 00:05:51,060
And Mr. Hoover puts it all away
in his private files,

60
00:05:52,190 --> 00:05:53,980
to be kept safe,

61
00:05:54,110 --> 00:05:57,180
out of the hands of people
without discretion,

62
00:05:57,270 --> 00:06:01,900
people who could do harm should that
information be leaked, for instance,

63
00:06:02,030 --> 00:06:05,220
and put before
the court of public opinion.

64
00:06:06,790 --> 00:06:09,940
And then sometimes Mr. Hoover
will go, for instance,

65
00:06:10,030 --> 00:06:13,700
to the president's closest aides
and say,

66
00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:17,660
Mr. Ehrlichman or Mr. Mitchell,

67
00:06:17,750 --> 00:06:20,260
"I want you to know
that we received that report

68
00:06:20,350 --> 00:06:21,940
"about you and that other woman,

69
00:06:22,030 --> 00:06:25,990
"and I want to tell you
that there is absolutely no reason

70
00:06:26,110 --> 00:06:28,900
"for us to take any further action.

71
00:06:28,990 --> 00:06:31,380
"There is no violation.

72
00:06:32,630 --> 00:06:34,460
"You're safe.

73
00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:36,180
"We, the FBI...

74
00:06:37,270 --> 00:06:40,940
"All your secrets are safe with us."

75
00:06:45,470 --> 00:06:47,580
How long have you been in the FBI, Felt?

76
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:49,580
Thirty years.

77
00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:51,540
Thirty years.

78
00:06:52,830 --> 00:06:55,860
That's a lot of information,
a lot of files.

79
00:07:00,790 --> 00:07:01,940
Thank you, Mr. Felt.

80
00:07:02,350 --> 00:07:04,910
Thank you, gentlemen. Mr. Dean.

81
00:07:13,230 --> 00:07:15,740
Choke on your Manhattan.

82
00:07:16,030 --> 00:07:17,980
Have a little something.

83
00:07:18,430 --> 00:07:20,580
- Hello, darling.
- Hey, sweetie.

84
00:07:20,670 --> 00:07:24,980
I give you the chief dragon slayer
and guardian of the American dream.

85
00:07:26,590 --> 00:07:29,780
Oh, come on, Mark.
Crack a smile, at least!

86
00:07:30,990 --> 00:07:32,100
Eddie, let me go.

87
00:07:32,190 --> 00:07:34,580
Eddie, leave her alone.
She's the best. Come here, you.

88
00:07:34,710 --> 00:07:36,060
- Did you hear that?
- I need a drink.

89
00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:37,180
- I am the best.
- I heard that.

90
00:07:37,430 --> 00:07:39,620
- Hi, hon.
- Hi, sweetie.

91
00:07:41,950 --> 00:07:43,140
- Look what I've done.
- Look what you're doing.

92
00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:44,220
What were you doing?

93
00:07:52,150 --> 00:07:53,420
Yes, sir.

94
00:08:03,590 --> 00:08:05,580
Keep the hips down.

95
00:08:07,590 --> 00:08:09,100
Look at your feet.

96
00:08:09,190 --> 00:08:11,420
Come on, attitude.

97
00:08:11,550 --> 00:08:13,180
Eddie, they're elegant!

98
00:09:18,950 --> 00:09:21,020
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

99
00:09:23,470 --> 00:09:25,460
- Is the director in?
- Not yet.

100
00:09:32,230 --> 00:09:34,220
Here's that Weather Underground file.

101
00:09:48,710 --> 00:09:51,500
- How many bombings now?
- Couple dozen.

102
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:53,500
Precise numbers, Mr. Miller.

103
00:09:53,590 --> 00:09:54,780
Twenty-nine.

104
00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:56,580
Nails and ball bearings.

105
00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:58,900
These kids aren't messing around.

106
00:10:01,350 --> 00:10:03,140
They're embarrassing the FBI.

107
00:10:04,350 --> 00:10:05,900
Get the New York office.

108
00:10:08,310 --> 00:10:09,300
He's dead.

109
00:10:09,950 --> 00:10:11,100
Who?

110
00:10:12,150 --> 00:10:13,630
Mr. Hoover's dead.

111
00:10:15,870 --> 00:10:17,940
His housekeeper found him on the floor.

112
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:19,860
He wasn't breathing.

113
00:10:19,950 --> 00:10:21,980
It looks like a stroke.

114
00:10:27,270 --> 00:10:29,140
Put everything into motion.

115
00:10:30,350 --> 00:10:33,260
No mistakes, gentlemen. Not one.

116
00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:20,740
Good morning, Felt.

117
00:11:20,830 --> 00:11:22,740
The assistant Attorney General.

118
00:11:22,830 --> 00:11:24,020
Pat Gray.

119
00:11:24,310 --> 00:11:26,180
Complicated morning for all of us.

120
00:11:26,270 --> 00:11:29,860
Indeed. Mr. Miller, here, will be
handling the funeral arrangements.

121
00:11:29,950 --> 00:11:32,620
I have the Attorney General's
instructions on seating and protocol.

122
00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:34,190
The funeral will be handled by the FBI.

123
00:11:34,270 --> 00:11:36,660
The Attorney General
will sit beside the vice president.

124
00:11:36,750 --> 00:11:39,780
Handled by the FBI
in its own way, Mr. Gray.

125
00:11:42,270 --> 00:11:45,180
I also have instructions
on Mr. Hoover's files.

126
00:11:45,310 --> 00:11:48,340
I am to take possession of them
and bring them to the White House.

127
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:50,500
What files?

128
00:11:53,350 --> 00:11:56,900
Mr. Hoover's secret files.
The Personal and Confidentials.

129
00:11:58,470 --> 00:12:00,380
Official and Confidentials.

130
00:12:00,470 --> 00:12:02,460
There are no secret files.

131
00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:52,550
We thank thee this day
with arms open for J. Edgar Hoover,

132
00:12:52,910 --> 00:12:55,580
for his lifelong trust in thee,

133
00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:58,340
his steadfast devotion to the nation,

134
00:12:58,630 --> 00:13:00,900
his elevated patriotism,

135
00:13:01,270 --> 00:13:04,900
his commitment to justice
and peace in the nation.

136
00:13:07,710 --> 00:13:09,700
We ask that we may be as strong,

137
00:13:10,870 --> 00:13:13,430
- brave as he was brave...
- Excuse me.

138
00:13:13,550 --> 00:13:16,300
- Loyal as he was loyal...
- Pardon me.

139
00:13:16,390 --> 00:13:18,460
Serve as he served,

140
00:13:18,830 --> 00:13:22,580
love the nation as he loved it.

141
00:13:38,910 --> 00:13:40,130
Felt!

142
00:13:41,950 --> 00:13:43,540
Jesus. Bill Sullivan.

143
00:13:45,910 --> 00:13:47,700
I'd like a word with you.

144
00:13:52,590 --> 00:13:55,740
Bill Sullivan and Mark Felt,
together again.

145
00:13:55,830 --> 00:13:56,980
Who would have thought it?

146
00:13:57,070 --> 00:13:59,020
I think I was the one
who recommended you to the old man

147
00:13:59,110 --> 00:14:00,180
for your first big promotion.

148
00:14:00,270 --> 00:14:03,220
- You know you were.
- That's right. Mark Felt never forgets.

149
00:14:03,670 --> 00:14:05,180
That's why everyone likes you.

150
00:14:05,310 --> 00:14:08,260
Hell, I even like you.

151
00:14:08,350 --> 00:14:09,780
And I don't like anybody.

152
00:14:09,910 --> 00:14:11,390
What do you want?

153
00:14:13,110 --> 00:14:15,260
I had 30 years in the bureau.

154
00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:17,420
Same as you.

155
00:14:17,510 --> 00:14:19,500
- You were the director's bag man.
- Oh, yeah?

156
00:14:19,590 --> 00:14:21,940
You taped Martin Luther King
with other women

157
00:14:22,030 --> 00:14:24,260
and sent the pictures to his wife.

158
00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:26,940
Do you need me to actually say it?

159
00:14:28,070 --> 00:14:31,100
Those days were gone. You had to go.

160
00:14:33,830 --> 00:14:38,580
You could be you, Mark,
only because I was who I was.

161
00:14:40,630 --> 00:14:42,780
You and I were an ecosystem.

162
00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:45,060
That's how nature works.

163
00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:47,180
Keeps everything in a balance.

164
00:14:49,350 --> 00:14:50,940
Now, the king is dead.

165
00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:53,140
Long live the king.

166
00:14:54,630 --> 00:14:57,460
- Are you the new king?
- You tell me.

167
00:14:57,910 --> 00:15:00,470
You're the president's new best friend.

168
00:15:03,270 --> 00:15:04,670
Mark Felt.

169
00:15:05,870 --> 00:15:09,140
Integrity, bravery, fidelity.

170
00:15:09,350 --> 00:15:11,020
Ladies and gentlemen, the G-man's G-man.

171
00:15:11,310 --> 00:15:14,380
You want to know what everybody
really thinks of you? Do you?

172
00:15:15,110 --> 00:15:19,150
Competent, reliable, loyal.

173
00:15:19,230 --> 00:15:21,300
- What's wrong with that?
- Nothing.

174
00:15:22,470 --> 00:15:24,420
If you're a golden retriever.

175
00:15:25,990 --> 00:15:26,980
Hoover's gone.

176
00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:30,190
You're alone now,

177
00:15:32,470 --> 00:15:35,820
holding the end of your own leash.

178
00:15:55,470 --> 00:15:57,220
Attorney General, line one.

179
00:16:08,630 --> 00:16:09,660
Dick.

180
00:16:12,830 --> 00:16:14,050
Yes.

181
00:16:14,190 --> 00:16:17,260
Well, I have enjoyed every day of it.

182
00:16:17,350 --> 00:16:22,100
The FBI has been home to me
and my family for 30 years and...

183
00:16:23,270 --> 00:16:24,300
Yes.

184
00:16:33,150 --> 00:16:34,780
"A new day."

185
00:16:36,390 --> 00:16:39,060
Yes, a fresh start.

186
00:16:39,270 --> 00:16:41,780
It's what I would do.

187
00:16:44,230 --> 00:16:46,220
Who do you have in mind?

188
00:16:49,270 --> 00:16:52,180
I'm sorry. Could you repeat that? Who?

189
00:16:57,230 --> 00:17:00,260
- Welcome to the FBI.
- A friendly face.

190
00:17:00,430 --> 00:17:01,650
Gentlemen.

191
00:17:02,390 --> 00:17:03,740
Now, Mr. Gray.

192
00:17:03,830 --> 00:17:06,860
I know the bureau
has its closets and skeletons.

193
00:17:07,030 --> 00:17:09,540
You can count on me
to keep those doors shut.

194
00:17:10,030 --> 00:17:11,620
I'll be candid with you.

195
00:17:11,710 --> 00:17:13,780
I was a submarine commander in the navy.

196
00:17:13,910 --> 00:17:17,540
I was father, confessor and friend
to 18-year-olds.

197
00:17:17,670 --> 00:17:19,220
Did you know that?

198
00:17:19,950 --> 00:17:22,100
I'm not a suspicious man by nature.

199
00:17:22,190 --> 00:17:24,940
That probably makes me
a strange choice to run the FBI.

200
00:17:25,030 --> 00:17:27,980
In fact,
when the president called my wife

201
00:17:28,110 --> 00:17:30,060
she begged me to turn him down, but...

202
00:17:31,950 --> 00:17:34,940
But the president wasn't asking,
if you know what I mean.

203
00:17:37,430 --> 00:17:40,260
Now, let me be candid with you,
Mr. Gray.

204
00:17:40,790 --> 00:17:44,300
The FBI is the most respected
institution in the world.

205
00:17:44,390 --> 00:17:47,380
It is one of the two cockpits
that fly America,

206
00:17:47,470 --> 00:17:51,700
and it is what it is because no one
from the outside ever got inside.

207
00:17:53,950 --> 00:17:56,100
Mr. Hoover has been old, a long time.

208
00:17:56,190 --> 00:17:58,100
We all know it's been you
running the FBI, Felt.

209
00:17:58,190 --> 00:18:00,620
- Your reputation is stellar.
- Let me finish.

210
00:18:01,750 --> 00:18:04,420
You have no law enforcement experience.
You're an outsider.

211
00:18:04,670 --> 00:18:08,180
That is your battle to fight,
but I'm going to help you.

212
00:18:08,270 --> 00:18:10,020
- Well, I appreciate that.
- Don't.

213
00:18:10,270 --> 00:18:12,540
It's not an act of generosity.

214
00:18:12,790 --> 00:18:15,740
This is about this building
and what goes on in here

215
00:18:15,830 --> 00:18:17,700
and what it means to the country.

216
00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:19,580
That is all I care about.

217
00:18:20,270 --> 00:18:23,500
As long as you keep the FBI first,

218
00:18:23,670 --> 00:18:25,660
you'll be able to count on me.

219
00:18:31,390 --> 00:18:32,870
This is your office.

220
00:19:00,550 --> 00:19:02,540
I thought the job was yours.

221
00:19:05,830 --> 00:19:07,540
What did I miss?

222
00:19:15,110 --> 00:19:17,220
You and Mr. Hoover.

223
00:19:20,510 --> 00:19:24,620
Don't you remember
why he said he liked you so much?

224
00:19:25,070 --> 00:19:29,420
He always said
you and he had the same enemies.

225
00:19:31,870 --> 00:19:33,620
That's why.

226
00:19:39,790 --> 00:19:41,110
Thirty years.

227
00:19:44,790 --> 00:19:46,460
Thirteen transfers.

228
00:19:50,510 --> 00:19:52,100
Thirteen homes to leave.

229
00:19:54,030 --> 00:19:55,300
Thirteen homes to make.

230
00:19:56,750 --> 00:19:59,580
I left behind every friend I ever made.

231
00:20:00,590 --> 00:20:02,860
And I kept my mouth shut,

232
00:20:02,950 --> 00:20:05,260
like the perfect little FBI wife.

233
00:20:07,430 --> 00:20:08,860
Until one day you wake up

234
00:20:08,950 --> 00:20:10,620
and you're so different
than you used to be

235
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:14,100
you can't even remember
what the point was in the first place.

236
00:20:15,950 --> 00:20:19,940
Till there's just one thing
left in my head.

237
00:20:20,990 --> 00:20:26,380
The one idea left in my head is,
at least Mark's going to get that job.

238
00:20:27,190 --> 00:20:29,910
- And that will make up for everything.
- Audrey.

239
00:20:31,150 --> 00:20:33,260
They don't deserve you.

240
00:20:34,030 --> 00:20:36,420
They don't deserve us.

241
00:20:41,110 --> 00:20:42,660
You need to resign.

242
00:21:07,830 --> 00:21:10,420
When the bureau is in better hands,

243
00:21:12,830 --> 00:21:14,460
then, I'll go.

244
00:21:32,390 --> 00:21:34,660
- What is it?
- This is getting complicated.

245
00:21:34,830 --> 00:21:36,620
You better get down here.

246
00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:39,940
Five men wearing white gloves
and carrying cameras

247
00:21:40,030 --> 00:21:41,820
were caught early today
in the headquarters

248
00:21:41,910 --> 00:21:44,700
of the Democratic National Committee,
in Washington.

249
00:21:44,790 --> 00:21:46,010
They apparently were unarmed

250
00:21:46,110 --> 00:21:49,340
and nobody knows yet
why they were even there.

251
00:22:07,550 --> 00:22:08,950
Mr. Kunkel.

252
00:22:09,790 --> 00:22:12,980
Straight into the Democrat offices
in the Watergate.

253
00:22:14,390 --> 00:22:16,020
Who's our spy?

254
00:22:16,110 --> 00:22:17,780
Baldwin, Alfred C.

255
00:22:17,950 --> 00:22:19,940
Checked in six weeks ago.

256
00:22:20,030 --> 00:22:21,940
Says he was more than just the lookout.

257
00:22:22,030 --> 00:22:24,060
He says he was supposed
to listen for "girlie stuff."

258
00:22:24,230 --> 00:22:26,620
Guess the Dems are having
a lot of trouble with their wives.

259
00:22:26,710 --> 00:22:28,380
He say where he got his instructions?

260
00:22:28,470 --> 00:22:30,460
Baldwin is one of ours.

261
00:22:31,230 --> 00:22:33,140
Ex-FBI.

262
00:22:33,990 --> 00:22:35,420
He worked under Bill Sullivan.

263
00:22:36,350 --> 00:22:38,540
When he was in the bureau,
was he in Mr. Sullivan's group?

264
00:22:39,070 --> 00:22:40,260
We think so.

265
00:22:40,350 --> 00:22:42,260
What about CIA connections?

266
00:22:42,350 --> 00:22:43,670
No idea. Why?

267
00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:47,500
Because 30 minutes ago
four of those burglars told a judge

268
00:22:47,590 --> 00:22:49,580
they are ex-CIA.

269
00:22:51,310 --> 00:22:53,140
What the hell is this?

270
00:22:54,510 --> 00:22:56,900
One of the most fascinating
and exotic stories

271
00:22:56,990 --> 00:22:58,820
ever to come out of Washington, DC,

272
00:22:58,910 --> 00:23:00,980
was the talk of the capital today.

273
00:23:01,070 --> 00:23:03,100
Robert Endicott covered the story.

274
00:23:03,230 --> 00:23:05,740
Democratic officials today
held a series of meetings

275
00:23:05,830 --> 00:23:07,420
to talk about tighter security

276
00:23:07,510 --> 00:23:08,990
at the national headquarters
here in Washington.

277
00:23:09,070 --> 00:23:11,220
The White House
has so far offered no official comment,

278
00:23:11,310 --> 00:23:14,900
but a close adviser to the president,
seen here visiting China last month,

279
00:23:14,990 --> 00:23:17,420
has said the president
is most concerned about the break-in

280
00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:20,620
and will be keeping
a very close eye on the investigation.

281
00:23:20,710 --> 00:23:22,460
Now, turning to other news...

282
00:23:23,950 --> 00:23:25,580
Mr. Lano is running street on this.

283
00:23:26,670 --> 00:23:28,460
2:15, Sunday morning,

284
00:23:28,550 --> 00:23:32,020
Metro finds our perps inside the
Democratic National Committee office.

285
00:23:32,350 --> 00:23:35,460
We ID'd the lead. He's a pro.

286
00:23:35,550 --> 00:23:38,940
Five years in the FBI, 19 in the CIA.

287
00:23:39,870 --> 00:23:43,140
Then he left the CIA to run security
for the Attorney General.

288
00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:45,900
Then he ran security for the White House

289
00:23:45,990 --> 00:23:47,780
for the Committee
to Re-elect the President.

290
00:23:47,870 --> 00:23:49,270
The lead burglar ran security

291
00:23:49,350 --> 00:23:50,620
for the Committee
to Re-elect the President?

292
00:23:50,710 --> 00:23:53,700
- Is that what you said?
- That's what he said. Keep going.

293
00:23:53,790 --> 00:23:55,010
Yeah, it gets weirder.

294
00:23:55,150 --> 00:23:57,610
The lookout in here, three years FBI.

295
00:23:57,710 --> 00:24:01,300
Then the Attorney General recruits him
to be his wife's personal bodyguard.

296
00:24:06,190 --> 00:24:07,410
Just keep going.

297
00:24:07,590 --> 00:24:10,180
The lookout makes
a Howard Hunt the ringleader.

298
00:24:10,590 --> 00:24:12,180
Hunt's also ex-CIA.

299
00:24:12,270 --> 00:24:13,260
But get this,

300
00:24:13,470 --> 00:24:15,220
a year ago we were asked to do
a background check

301
00:24:15,310 --> 00:24:16,460
on Hunt for a government job.

302
00:24:16,550 --> 00:24:18,660
- Did we clear him?
- Yeah.

303
00:24:18,910 --> 00:24:20,860
For a job at the White House

304
00:24:20,950 --> 00:24:24,730
as a "consultant on highly sensitive,
confidential matters."

305
00:24:26,390 --> 00:24:27,500
That's a job title?

306
00:24:32,310 --> 00:24:34,980
White House, Justice and the CIA

307
00:24:35,070 --> 00:24:37,660
are gonna want to know
everything we know.

308
00:24:40,150 --> 00:24:42,580
But we aren't going to tell them.
Anything.

309
00:24:42,750 --> 00:24:44,620
The Attorney General already called.

310
00:24:44,830 --> 00:24:46,740
Nobody talks to the Attorney General.

311
00:24:46,830 --> 00:24:49,660
- We answer to the Attorney General.
- You answer to me.

312
00:24:51,070 --> 00:24:52,860
What about the director?

313
00:24:53,150 --> 00:24:55,340
I'll take care of the director.

314
00:24:56,190 --> 00:24:58,780
There is still no explanation
why the Watergate suspects

315
00:24:58,870 --> 00:25:01,330
might have attempted
to bug Democratic headquarters.

316
00:25:01,430 --> 00:25:03,780
A spokesman for the Attorney General
said yesterday

317
00:25:03,870 --> 00:25:05,780
that the FBI is already investigating.

318
00:25:05,870 --> 00:25:09,260
Their report will be turned over to the
criminal division for appropriate...

319
00:25:31,030 --> 00:25:34,940
John Dean, the president's counsel,
just went into the director's office.

320
00:25:35,990 --> 00:25:38,500
- Let me know when he comes out.
- Yes, Mr. Felt.

321
00:25:51,190 --> 00:25:52,900
Mr. Dean has left.

322
00:25:53,110 --> 00:25:55,100
The director's leaving in a bit
to play golf.

323
00:26:01,830 --> 00:26:04,470
What's John Dean
doing here in this building?

324
00:26:08,430 --> 00:26:12,140
This is a remarkable amount
of information

325
00:26:12,510 --> 00:26:14,020
about the break-in.

326
00:26:14,110 --> 00:26:17,220
We're still gathering string.
This is just the beginning.

327
00:26:17,630 --> 00:26:19,180
Okay.

328
00:26:21,510 --> 00:26:23,940
First of all,
there are no more interviews

329
00:26:24,070 --> 00:26:27,260
with White House or CIA people
without permission.

330
00:26:27,350 --> 00:26:28,780
- What?
- Whose permission?

331
00:26:32,070 --> 00:26:33,580
Give us a minute.

332
00:26:37,710 --> 00:26:39,420
Get out.

333
00:26:42,670 --> 00:26:44,780
The FBI is an independent body.

334
00:26:44,910 --> 00:26:45,900
I'm aware of that.

335
00:26:46,030 --> 00:26:48,780
Are you also aware that means
we don't need permission

336
00:26:48,870 --> 00:26:50,940
to do anything from anybody?

337
00:26:51,710 --> 00:26:55,300
You give that up just one time,
you don't ever get it back. Ever.

338
00:26:55,390 --> 00:26:57,340
Let's not get dramatic.
We don't even know what this is.

339
00:26:57,430 --> 00:26:59,340
That's right. We don't.

340
00:26:59,430 --> 00:27:02,070
But we're going to find out.
That's what we do.

341
00:27:02,870 --> 00:27:04,940
You don't work for them.

342
00:27:05,030 --> 00:27:07,590
You're the director of the FBI now.

343
00:27:17,710 --> 00:27:19,380
Forty-eight hours.

344
00:27:21,190 --> 00:27:24,580
We put the investigation to bed
and get on with the rest of our lives

345
00:27:24,990 --> 00:27:26,620
in two days.

346
00:27:29,550 --> 00:27:31,620
You've got 48 hours.

347
00:27:33,350 --> 00:27:34,670
Thank you.

348
00:28:18,990 --> 00:28:20,580
Nice to see you.

349
00:28:20,670 --> 00:28:22,420
What brings you back?

350
00:28:23,430 --> 00:28:24,940
Two words.

351
00:28:26,110 --> 00:28:27,780
Re... Venge.

352
00:29:08,510 --> 00:29:09,940
Was everything all right, Daniel?

353
00:29:10,030 --> 00:29:11,220
It's great as always.

354
00:29:11,350 --> 00:29:13,580
Your total's going to be $47.70.

355
00:29:13,670 --> 00:29:14,890
Thanks, darlin'.

356
00:29:16,230 --> 00:29:17,860
There you go.
I'll see you next time.

357
00:29:18,070 --> 00:29:19,500
Say hi to your mama.

358
00:29:26,750 --> 00:29:28,540
You look like hell.

359
00:29:31,510 --> 00:29:32,730
Have some food.

360
00:29:32,830 --> 00:29:35,020
- How are you, sir?
- Just coffee, thanks.

361
00:29:38,030 --> 00:29:42,340
So, what does this look like
to you, Sandy,

362
00:29:42,430 --> 00:29:44,140
and your pals at Time magazine?

363
00:29:44,230 --> 00:29:45,940
Oh, the Watergate thing?

364
00:29:48,310 --> 00:29:49,500
Honestly, I...

365
00:29:51,150 --> 00:29:54,060
No one at Time magazine or any newspaper
I know can figure it out.

366
00:29:54,830 --> 00:29:57,780
Ex-spooks get caught planting bugs?

367
00:30:04,550 --> 00:30:06,900
Does have a particular
odor to it though.

368
00:30:16,670 --> 00:30:20,450
I bet your old pal Bill Sullivan
sure misses the FBI.

369
00:30:23,350 --> 00:30:27,420
Because I heard the White House
gave him some bullshit job,

370
00:30:27,510 --> 00:30:28,910
waiting for Hoover to kick off.

371
00:30:29,750 --> 00:30:31,860
Sullivan wants back in.

372
00:30:32,030 --> 00:30:35,340
The president wants him back in
to run the FBI their way.

373
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,460
Nixon and Sullivan.

374
00:30:42,270 --> 00:30:43,820
Those two were made for each other.

375
00:30:48,670 --> 00:30:50,020
Here you go.

376
00:30:52,630 --> 00:30:54,380
Could we have some pie, please?

377
00:30:54,750 --> 00:30:57,180
What kind?
We have apple, blueberry...

378
00:30:57,270 --> 00:30:58,380
You pick.

379
00:31:00,390 --> 00:31:02,380
What are we doing out here, Mark?

380
00:31:05,030 --> 00:31:06,900
I was given 48 hours.

381
00:31:08,910 --> 00:31:10,230
To do what?

382
00:31:11,910 --> 00:31:14,260
Wrap up the Watergate investigation.

383
00:31:15,590 --> 00:31:16,580
By who?

384
00:31:20,630 --> 00:31:22,140
Gray?

385
00:31:24,630 --> 00:31:27,660
Pat Gray, the director of the FBI,

386
00:31:28,550 --> 00:31:31,340
ordered the FBI
to stop its own investigation?

387
00:31:32,350 --> 00:31:34,420
There are calls
we are not allowed to make

388
00:31:34,510 --> 00:31:37,380
and phone and bank records
we can't go near.

389
00:31:40,830 --> 00:31:42,460
Thank you.

390
00:31:56,430 --> 00:32:01,020
In all the years I've known you,
you've never given up a single,

391
00:32:01,150 --> 00:32:02,940
real secret.

392
00:32:06,350 --> 00:32:08,060
Nothing but the company line.

393
00:32:12,950 --> 00:32:15,380
These are uncharted waters for you.

394
00:32:20,790 --> 00:32:22,860
So, one more time. What are we doing?

395
00:32:23,990 --> 00:32:26,020
You looking for a little help?

396
00:32:27,070 --> 00:32:28,100
Payback?

397
00:32:28,870 --> 00:32:31,590
I want the FBI left alone to do its job.

398
00:32:33,310 --> 00:32:35,020
That's all I want.

399
00:32:36,310 --> 00:32:39,030
And you want me to light a fire
around the edges

400
00:32:40,070 --> 00:32:41,060
with a story.

401
00:32:43,470 --> 00:32:45,660
Well, I can see why
they didn't give you the job.

402
00:32:50,110 --> 00:32:52,260
They must be terrified of you.

403
00:33:28,510 --> 00:33:30,940
- Come on, come on.
- Washington Post.

404
00:34:00,430 --> 00:34:03,070
I miss you.
I know I'm not supposed to say that.

405
00:34:04,590 --> 00:34:06,940
- It's okay to say that.
- No.

406
00:34:08,110 --> 00:34:09,660
It's too touchy-feely.

407
00:34:10,670 --> 00:34:12,700
I need you too much.

408
00:34:14,750 --> 00:34:16,580
Where were you tonight?

409
00:34:16,790 --> 00:34:19,100
The switchboard said
they didn't know where you were.

410
00:34:19,750 --> 00:34:22,180
Because I didn't tell them.

411
00:34:22,270 --> 00:34:24,100
Well, what about Mrs. Tschudy?

412
00:34:24,710 --> 00:34:26,110
She didn't know either.

413
00:34:27,630 --> 00:34:30,460
But you taught her
to always say that, didn't you?

414
00:34:39,070 --> 00:34:41,460
Have you been making the calls
about Joan?

415
00:34:42,950 --> 00:34:44,580
I've called all her friends.

416
00:34:45,030 --> 00:34:48,990
They haven't heard from her
in nearly a year.

417
00:34:54,430 --> 00:34:55,860
Are you looking for her?

418
00:34:57,350 --> 00:34:59,660
Is the most powerful
law enforcement agency

419
00:34:59,750 --> 00:35:01,460
in the world looking for her?

420
00:35:01,550 --> 00:35:03,030
I can't do that.

421
00:35:03,870 --> 00:35:04,940
Oh.

422
00:35:05,950 --> 00:35:07,740
It's against the rules?

423
00:35:12,790 --> 00:35:15,300
We don't know what they will find.

424
00:35:16,910 --> 00:35:17,900
Do we?

425
00:36:21,110 --> 00:36:23,100
Where the hell did they get that?

426
00:36:48,310 --> 00:36:49,420
Mr. Bates.

427
00:36:49,510 --> 00:36:52,940
This Washington Post story says
we know who the Watergate ringleader is.

428
00:36:53,950 --> 00:36:57,780
Then, this morning,
our Time magazine pal, Sandy Smith,

429
00:36:57,870 --> 00:37:01,420
called the acting director
to say that he is prepping a story

430
00:37:01,510 --> 00:37:03,970
that the FBI is plotting a whitewash.

431
00:37:04,070 --> 00:37:08,740
He said the director has put
a 48-hour cap on the investigation.

432
00:37:09,150 --> 00:37:10,780
- What's your point?
- Is that true?

433
00:37:11,230 --> 00:37:13,980
Someone in this office
is talking to the press.

434
00:37:14,070 --> 00:37:15,420
The point, Mr. Lano,

435
00:37:15,510 --> 00:37:17,460
is that leaks kill investigations.

436
00:37:17,550 --> 00:37:19,700
- Whoa, whoa. Okay.
- Take it down, Angie.

437
00:37:19,790 --> 00:37:23,020
You want to conduct
a leak investigation, be my guest.

438
00:37:23,110 --> 00:37:26,380
But you got 200 field agents from
here to LA all chasing down leads,

439
00:37:26,550 --> 00:37:28,260
so you're gonna have to
ask them all, too.

440
00:37:28,350 --> 00:37:30,060
Tone, in front of Mr. Felt.

441
00:37:30,150 --> 00:37:33,900
I can guarantee it wasn't me
or any of the guys in this room.

442
00:37:34,030 --> 00:37:36,490
Donald H. Segretti.

443
00:37:36,790 --> 00:37:39,140
You pulled that name
from Howard Hunt's phone records.

444
00:37:39,230 --> 00:37:40,980
He called Hunt a few dozen times, yeah.

445
00:37:41,230 --> 00:37:44,660
This says Segretti used to be a lawyer
in the Treasury Department,

446
00:37:44,830 --> 00:37:47,100
paid out of the account
that funded the Watergate.

447
00:37:47,230 --> 00:37:50,460
An account belonging to
the Committee to Re-elect the President.

448
00:37:50,590 --> 00:37:52,500
- Who is the head of the committee?
- John Mitchell.

449
00:37:52,590 --> 00:37:55,380
Former Attorney General, John Mitchell.

450
00:37:55,910 --> 00:37:58,630
The best we can make out is
Segretti's some kind of prankster.

451
00:37:58,790 --> 00:38:02,540
You know, like he's spying on the Dems,
sending their wives dirty pictures.

452
00:38:02,630 --> 00:38:05,940
- It's all bottom-feeder, frat boy stuff.
- Indictable under election laws.

453
00:38:06,030 --> 00:38:07,820
Forget the plot of the story,
Mr. Kunkel.

454
00:38:07,910 --> 00:38:10,060
What's the theme? What's it saying?
What does it mean?

455
00:38:10,150 --> 00:38:12,980
Like Angie, like Mr. Lano said,
we are still vetting the leads.

456
00:38:13,070 --> 00:38:16,950
All the ugly politics,
all the dirty money, all the sleaze.

457
00:38:17,070 --> 00:38:20,060
It means the goddamn punks
are running the country!

458
00:38:28,230 --> 00:38:29,340
Keep going.

459
00:38:30,910 --> 00:38:33,700
You might want to talk to
the White House about those leaks.

460
00:38:38,630 --> 00:38:40,420
- Why?
- 'Cause whenever I'm lucky enough

461
00:38:40,510 --> 00:38:42,540
to get someone over there
to actually talk to me,

462
00:38:42,950 --> 00:38:44,700
they know what I'm gonna ask
before I ask it.

463
00:38:47,670 --> 00:38:49,620
It's like they already know
what I want to know.

464
00:38:57,510 --> 00:39:00,820
Mr. Felt, I have the White House
on the phone. Mr. John Dean.

465
00:39:20,750 --> 00:39:21,940
Put him through.

466
00:39:25,710 --> 00:39:26,820
Mr. Dean.

467
00:39:26,950 --> 00:39:29,380
The White House is concerned
about these press leaks.

468
00:39:31,870 --> 00:39:33,350
Of course.

469
00:39:33,430 --> 00:39:36,660
We think the source
must be someone in the FBI.

470
00:39:42,910 --> 00:39:44,900
Why FBI?

471
00:39:45,110 --> 00:39:47,300
That's where the information is.

472
00:39:48,430 --> 00:39:51,380
Those stories could have come
from someone in the White House.

473
00:39:54,790 --> 00:39:57,100
We want you to do something
about it, Mr. Felt.

474
00:39:57,190 --> 00:39:59,420
- Okay.
- Now.

475
00:39:59,830 --> 00:40:01,260
Fine.

476
00:40:01,430 --> 00:40:02,860
But I don't understand.

477
00:40:04,270 --> 00:40:06,990
- Which part?
- The part about you calling me.

478
00:40:07,430 --> 00:40:10,540
The White House
has no authority over the FBI.

479
00:40:14,710 --> 00:40:17,900
- We can...
- At all, Mr. Dean.

480
00:40:20,990 --> 00:40:22,340
But we can suggest...

481
00:40:22,470 --> 00:40:25,940
I'm afraid the White House
has nothing to suggest to the FBI.

482
00:40:29,750 --> 00:40:32,820
- Thank you, Mr. Felt.
- Thank you, Mr. Dean.

483
00:41:01,230 --> 00:41:05,220
I want you to disappear
our investigation on these two names.

484
00:41:05,470 --> 00:41:07,580
Get them off the interview list.

485
00:41:07,670 --> 00:41:09,260
I don't get it. They're nobody.

486
00:41:09,390 --> 00:41:10,790
Just do it.

487
00:41:15,190 --> 00:41:18,820
Then make sure you say you did it
in Monday's memo for the director.

488
00:41:25,950 --> 00:41:27,140
Thank you.

489
00:41:30,030 --> 00:41:32,300
Your daily Watergate briefing.

490
00:41:34,670 --> 00:41:37,700
Thanks, Charlie. May I call you Charlie?

491
00:41:39,470 --> 00:41:42,780
How much of what we are getting
on Watergate am I actually seeing?

492
00:41:45,150 --> 00:41:47,180
Mr. Felt gives me the headlines.
I type them up.

493
00:41:47,270 --> 00:41:49,830
I give Mr. Felt the original
and bring you a copy.

494
00:41:51,390 --> 00:41:53,950
Mr. Felt doesn't want
to waste your time with details.

495
00:42:01,430 --> 00:42:02,420
Okay.

496
00:42:03,830 --> 00:42:05,230
Okay, Mr. Gray.

497
00:42:17,870 --> 00:42:19,220
Mr. Kunkel!

498
00:42:20,750 --> 00:42:23,260
Director Gray wanted you to know
he understands you and your boys

499
00:42:23,350 --> 00:42:24,780
are doing a hell of a job.

500
00:42:25,230 --> 00:42:28,700
Well, thank Mr. Gray, and not to worry.
We'll gather the whole ball of yarn.

501
00:42:28,790 --> 00:42:30,460
Mr. Gray also wanted you to know

502
00:42:30,550 --> 00:42:34,660
that there was gonna be a small change
in procedure in the information flow.

503
00:42:35,750 --> 00:42:38,820
How and, more precisely, where it flows.

504
00:42:39,070 --> 00:42:42,020
Not just the headlines,
but the story itself.

505
00:42:42,350 --> 00:42:44,500
The details, as it were.

506
00:42:46,150 --> 00:42:48,220
Does Mr. Felt know?

507
00:42:49,550 --> 00:42:50,980
Of course.

508
00:43:46,230 --> 00:43:48,420
Angie Lano called me last night.

509
00:43:49,750 --> 00:43:51,380
He told me
that he called the White House

510
00:43:51,510 --> 00:43:53,460
to set up a round of interviews.

511
00:43:53,830 --> 00:43:56,100
Half hour later
the White House called back

512
00:43:56,190 --> 00:43:59,100
to tell me that we can't talk
to two of the guys

513
00:43:59,510 --> 00:44:01,970
because their names
were taken off the list.

514
00:44:02,910 --> 00:44:04,420
The two names you told me.

515
00:44:05,790 --> 00:44:07,780
How would the White House know?

516
00:44:08,750 --> 00:44:10,780
I guess somebody told them.

517
00:44:12,150 --> 00:44:14,900
The only people who knew
were me and you.

518
00:44:16,230 --> 00:44:17,710
And Mr. Gray.

519
00:44:19,510 --> 00:44:20,940
And Mr. Gray.

520
00:44:23,790 --> 00:44:25,900
We need to find out what Gray has,

521
00:44:27,230 --> 00:44:28,900
and how he's getting it.

522
00:44:32,990 --> 00:44:34,980
Did I do something wrong?

523
00:44:35,070 --> 00:44:36,620
Mr. Bates tells me

524
00:44:37,670 --> 00:44:41,420
you've been giving Mr. Gray everything
we're collecting on Watergate.

525
00:44:42,350 --> 00:44:44,620
All our interviews, all of our files.

526
00:44:46,790 --> 00:44:49,510
Did Mr. Gray tell you to bypass me?

527
00:44:49,670 --> 00:44:51,700
Well, he didn't say
it was a secret or anything.

528
00:44:54,990 --> 00:44:56,980
But he said that you knew.

529
00:44:58,870 --> 00:45:01,780
How often did you give him our files?

530
00:45:01,870 --> 00:45:03,540
- Every day.
- Why?

531
00:45:05,110 --> 00:45:07,100
We know why.

532
00:45:11,710 --> 00:45:15,140
Did you give the Attorney General
any information about our investigation?

533
00:45:15,230 --> 00:45:17,690
- I don't talk to the Attorney General.
- Did you, Mr. Bates?

534
00:45:19,070 --> 00:45:20,550
Mr. Miller?

535
00:45:25,990 --> 00:45:27,980
The Attorney General
called me this morning

536
00:45:28,150 --> 00:45:31,500
about something
he could only have heard from the FBI.

537
00:45:38,590 --> 00:45:40,700
He's putting a box around Watergate.

538
00:45:42,590 --> 00:45:45,500
We can't touch anything
before the break-in.

539
00:45:45,590 --> 00:45:48,460
We have to stay away
from all the White House corruption.

540
00:45:49,830 --> 00:45:53,540
In other words,
the crimes that matter don't matter.

541
00:45:54,310 --> 00:45:57,540
For the first time in its history,
the FBI

542
00:45:58,710 --> 00:46:00,700
has been quarantined.

543
00:46:00,790 --> 00:46:04,750
Crimes that it knows about
will go uninvestigated.

544
00:46:09,190 --> 00:46:11,830
- Mr. Felt...
- Thank you, Mr. Kunkel.

545
00:46:25,110 --> 00:46:28,260
So, with everything we have right now,

546
00:46:29,870 --> 00:46:31,940
if we could get indictments,

547
00:46:33,790 --> 00:46:37,260
in your opinion, who would we get?

548
00:46:38,350 --> 00:46:39,670
How high?

549
00:46:42,910 --> 00:46:44,780
Maybe Attorney General.

550
00:46:48,510 --> 00:46:50,020
What about the president?

551
00:46:54,990 --> 00:46:56,780
What about the president?

552
00:46:57,550 --> 00:46:59,820
If the president's lying...

553
00:47:01,790 --> 00:47:03,420
Is the president lying?

554
00:47:03,510 --> 00:47:05,180
They're all lying.

555
00:47:07,830 --> 00:47:09,100
Then, yes.

556
00:47:11,910 --> 00:47:13,260
Maybe the president.

557
00:47:15,230 --> 00:47:17,260
As the investigations went forward,

558
00:47:17,350 --> 00:47:22,100
I repeatedly asked
those conducting the investigation

559
00:47:22,510 --> 00:47:24,820
whether there was any reason to believe

560
00:47:24,910 --> 00:47:28,980
that members of my administration
were in any way involved.

561
00:47:29,830 --> 00:47:34,140
I received repeated assurances
that there were none.

562
00:47:34,470 --> 00:47:36,700
I discounted the stories in the press.

563
00:47:36,910 --> 00:47:39,580
Who do you think gave
the orders to bug the Watergate?

564
00:47:39,830 --> 00:47:43,060
Well,
the persons who the grand jury indicted

565
00:47:43,150 --> 00:47:44,780
in Washington, DC, last week,

566
00:47:44,950 --> 00:47:46,500
gave the orders to do it.

567
00:47:46,590 --> 00:47:48,070
You don't think
they were following orders, then?

568
00:47:48,270 --> 00:47:49,980
- No, I do not.
- There's nobody higher?

569
00:47:50,070 --> 00:47:52,100
There has been no evidence
presented that anybody did that.

570
00:47:52,230 --> 00:47:54,900
I think the opposition is disappointed

571
00:47:54,990 --> 00:47:57,710
that after such a thorough,
intensive investigation

572
00:47:57,790 --> 00:48:00,250
that just seven persons were indicted.

573
00:48:00,350 --> 00:48:02,860
The Watergate break-in
took a dramatic turn

574
00:48:02,950 --> 00:48:04,140
when one of the defendants,

575
00:48:04,230 --> 00:48:06,500
former White House consultant
E. Howard Hunt,

576
00:48:06,590 --> 00:48:07,860
changed his plea to guilty.

577
00:48:07,950 --> 00:48:10,860
The judge accepted
the guilty pleas of the four Miami men

578
00:48:10,950 --> 00:48:13,180
on the condition
that they answer his questions

579
00:48:13,270 --> 00:48:15,540
on who else was involved in Watergate.

580
00:48:15,630 --> 00:48:19,780
With the crucial questions
of who, and what, were behind it all

581
00:48:19,870 --> 00:48:20,980
still unanswered.

582
00:48:22,710 --> 00:48:24,660
I got a call
from across the river.

583
00:48:25,750 --> 00:48:28,420
- Which river is that?
- The Potomac.

584
00:48:28,670 --> 00:48:29,990
The CIA.

585
00:48:30,990 --> 00:48:33,450
The CIA is telling us
we need to taper off.

586
00:48:33,550 --> 00:48:35,260
Taper off?

587
00:48:36,110 --> 00:48:38,700
- We're getting too close.
- Too close to what?

588
00:48:38,790 --> 00:48:39,940
I can't tell you.

589
00:48:40,030 --> 00:48:42,060
You can't, or you won't?

590
00:48:42,150 --> 00:48:44,140
It's a matter of national security.

591
00:48:44,310 --> 00:48:48,620
We are doing everything that
we can to investigate this incident.

592
00:48:48,910 --> 00:48:52,460
No one on the White House staff,
no one in this administration

593
00:48:52,550 --> 00:48:56,260
was involved in this
very bizarre incident.

594
00:48:56,990 --> 00:48:59,550
The CIA is telling us
we need to taper off.

595
00:49:00,310 --> 00:49:02,380
Disappointed. Disappointed.

596
00:49:02,470 --> 00:49:04,500
No one in this administration...

597
00:49:04,590 --> 00:49:07,900
We're getting too close.
It's a matter of national security.

598
00:49:11,510 --> 00:49:14,260
A bomb exploded
early this morning in the Pentagon

599
00:49:14,350 --> 00:49:16,540
and left-wing terrorists
telephoned newspapers

600
00:49:16,670 --> 00:49:18,020
to say they were responsible.

601
00:49:19,830 --> 00:49:21,340
People calling themselves members
of the Weather Underground...

602
00:49:21,430 --> 00:49:22,830
- Yes?
- Are you watching this?

603
00:49:22,910 --> 00:49:24,130
I see it.

604
00:49:24,830 --> 00:49:27,290
- What about the White House?
- It's at the top of their list.

605
00:49:27,430 --> 00:49:29,020
I told you that three months ago.

606
00:49:29,110 --> 00:49:33,700
- But can they really hit it?
- They just hit the Pentagon.

607
00:49:34,230 --> 00:49:36,100
I want us to open files on every member

608
00:49:36,230 --> 00:49:38,870
of every counterculture organization
in the country.

609
00:49:38,950 --> 00:49:41,460
Hunt them to exhaustion.
No holds barred.

610
00:49:41,990 --> 00:49:44,450
The president is fighting
for the White House.

611
00:49:44,670 --> 00:49:46,300
That's not my job.

612
00:49:46,550 --> 00:49:47,980
The president needs order.

613
00:49:48,070 --> 00:49:50,580
I promised the president
he'd have order.

614
00:49:53,670 --> 00:49:56,340
Which brings me
to my next point, Felt.

615
00:49:57,830 --> 00:50:00,140
I spoke to the Attorney General.

616
00:50:01,710 --> 00:50:04,620
The Attorney General
is going to officially announce

617
00:50:04,790 --> 00:50:08,100
we have found nothing
connecting the president on Watergate.

618
00:50:08,190 --> 00:50:10,650
What? But that's not real.

619
00:50:10,750 --> 00:50:15,620
I know. And the president knows
you are still pursuing it.

620
00:50:18,110 --> 00:50:20,220
You're never going to find
what you're chasing.

621
00:50:20,310 --> 00:50:22,950
I want it to end.
It's time to finish it.

622
00:50:23,070 --> 00:50:24,700
Shut it down.

623
00:50:27,230 --> 00:50:30,140
I hear you and your wife
are registered Democrats, Mark.

624
00:50:30,790 --> 00:50:32,860
I hope you're not going
to let that get in the way.

625
00:50:37,710 --> 00:50:40,170
The Weather Underground,
they're combining.

626
00:50:40,270 --> 00:50:42,020
They're multiplying.

627
00:50:42,110 --> 00:50:43,660
We'll never get warrants. Not now.

628
00:50:43,750 --> 00:50:44,740
Warrants?

629
00:50:45,070 --> 00:50:48,020
We're not talking about the kids
sleeping out there in the parks.

630
00:50:48,110 --> 00:50:51,990
We're talking about people who would
burn your children alive in their beds.

631
00:50:52,070 --> 00:50:54,220
People die because we stick
to the letter of the law,

632
00:50:54,350 --> 00:50:56,500
we lose everything, including the law.

633
00:50:57,510 --> 00:50:58,660
We're taking off the gloves.

634
00:50:59,390 --> 00:51:01,740
Entries, taps, nothing on paper.

635
00:51:01,830 --> 00:51:03,620
No warrants.

636
00:51:03,710 --> 00:51:05,540
Mr. Miller's people
report to Mr. Miller.

637
00:51:05,630 --> 00:51:06,780
Mr. Miller reports to me.

638
00:51:06,870 --> 00:51:08,460
Just like the bad old days.

639
00:51:08,790 --> 00:51:10,700
Where's Bill Sullivan when you need him?

640
00:51:10,790 --> 00:51:12,340
He's over at the White House,

641
00:51:12,430 --> 00:51:16,100
protecting the nation by spying
on senators and their mistresses

642
00:51:16,350 --> 00:51:19,980
while we're here just trying to
keep all this goddamn mess together.

643
00:51:26,870 --> 00:51:28,090
Hey, look.

644
00:51:29,710 --> 00:51:31,340
We're on your side here.

645
00:51:31,830 --> 00:51:33,940
All I'm saying is,
all that was behind us.

646
00:51:34,190 --> 00:51:35,820
Even Hoover knew
the dirty stuff was over.

647
00:51:35,910 --> 00:51:37,310
That's why Bill's gone.

648
00:51:38,310 --> 00:51:41,180
All I'm saying is, everyone is watching.

649
00:51:41,470 --> 00:51:44,060
How many more kids do we have to lose?

650
00:51:44,190 --> 00:51:47,140
How many more
do we let just vanish into eternity?

651
00:51:47,870 --> 00:51:49,740
I am not Bill Sullivan.

652
00:51:50,550 --> 00:51:52,980
This is still the goddamn FBI.

653
00:52:15,590 --> 00:52:16,940
I don't want to intrude.

654
00:52:18,350 --> 00:52:19,460
Then don't.

655
00:52:24,110 --> 00:52:25,180
You heard from her?

656
00:52:26,790 --> 00:52:28,060
Joan.

657
00:52:31,270 --> 00:52:33,580
You think she's involved with all this?

658
00:52:34,710 --> 00:52:35,930
The Underground?

659
00:52:37,630 --> 00:52:38,950
How could she?

660
00:52:39,670 --> 00:52:41,940
She's just like me. Exactly like me.

661
00:52:42,030 --> 00:52:43,250
She worships you.

662
00:52:49,710 --> 00:52:50,740
She's okay.

663
00:52:52,910 --> 00:52:54,130
I can feel it, Mark.

664
00:52:57,270 --> 00:52:59,830
There's a price to pay for what we do,
Mr. Miller.

665
00:52:59,950 --> 00:53:02,180
There's a price to pay
for what we become.

666
00:53:04,230 --> 00:53:06,420
We all pay it, one way or another.

667
00:53:09,150 --> 00:53:11,100
Watergate was the most intensive,

668
00:53:11,190 --> 00:53:14,580
objective and thorough investigation

669
00:53:14,990 --> 00:53:19,620
in the history of the
US Attorney's office and the FBI.

670
00:53:20,670 --> 00:53:23,740
The Justice Department has now completed

671
00:53:24,270 --> 00:53:26,830
its criminal investigation

672
00:53:26,910 --> 00:53:29,980
without implicating any present official

673
00:53:30,590 --> 00:53:32,180
of either the White House

674
00:53:32,710 --> 00:53:35,740
or the Committee
to Re-elect the President.

675
00:53:36,070 --> 00:53:37,340
- Completed?
- Any questions?

676
00:53:37,470 --> 00:53:38,690
What the hell, man?

677
00:53:39,230 --> 00:53:40,580
Get me Felt on the phone.

678
00:53:40,670 --> 00:53:42,420
- As to the White House?
- Hold on, hold on. Wait a second.

679
00:53:42,630 --> 00:53:47,540
I understand the FBI's Watergate
investigation is in a state of repose

680
00:53:47,630 --> 00:53:49,620
and unlikely to be reopened.

681
00:53:49,710 --> 00:53:51,700
Anybody tell us this was over yet?

682
00:53:52,310 --> 00:53:55,100
Get me Felt on the phone! Or Bates!

683
00:53:56,430 --> 00:53:57,780
God damn it, get me Felt!

684
00:53:57,910 --> 00:53:59,260
- She can't.
- Why the hell not?

685
00:53:59,350 --> 00:54:00,860
'Cause he's right there.

686
00:54:00,950 --> 00:54:04,460
And now, let's return to the press
conference of the US Attorney General.

687
00:54:51,310 --> 00:54:52,500
Maybe she's dead.

688
00:54:56,630 --> 00:54:58,260
Maybe she just gave up.

689
00:54:59,270 --> 00:55:01,020
Didn't think anybody cared.

690
00:55:04,110 --> 00:55:06,380
Maybe she's right out there watching us.

691
00:55:07,590 --> 00:55:09,620
To see what a man like you does

692
00:55:09,710 --> 00:55:11,940
when your daughter
just vanishes one night

693
00:55:12,030 --> 00:55:13,510
for no good reason.

694
00:55:13,590 --> 00:55:15,100
Joan had a reason for everything.

695
00:55:16,150 --> 00:55:17,260
You hated her.

696
00:55:23,230 --> 00:55:25,020
Mothers don't hate their daughters.

697
00:55:26,790 --> 00:55:29,020
It's just not always easy being one.

698
00:55:29,630 --> 00:55:31,580
You dressed her up like a doll,

699
00:55:32,470 --> 00:55:34,780
until she got old enough
to look just like you.

700
00:55:34,870 --> 00:55:35,860
Mark.

701
00:55:35,950 --> 00:55:38,590
You kept telling her to get out
until one day she listened to you.

702
00:55:38,670 --> 00:55:40,100
Listen to me.

703
00:55:41,270 --> 00:55:42,670
I had no mother.

704
00:55:42,750 --> 00:55:44,230
But she did.

705
00:55:44,310 --> 00:55:45,500
Yes.

706
00:55:46,390 --> 00:55:47,460
She did.

707
00:55:48,430 --> 00:55:49,830
My father just left.

708
00:55:51,710 --> 00:55:53,700
So, yes, she gave me up

709
00:55:54,790 --> 00:55:56,460
to foster homes,

710
00:55:56,990 --> 00:55:58,700
then the orphanage.

711
00:56:01,310 --> 00:56:03,340
- But you know all about that, don't you?
- Yeah.

712
00:56:10,310 --> 00:56:12,100
Then I made my own way.

713
00:56:14,430 --> 00:56:15,750
Until you.

714
00:56:16,790 --> 00:56:18,140
My white knight.

715
00:56:21,150 --> 00:56:24,180
Our homes are the only homes
I've ever known.

716
00:56:32,670 --> 00:56:34,500
You were both mine.

717
00:56:38,230 --> 00:56:39,220
How's home, Mark?

718
00:56:42,830 --> 00:56:44,020
Why are you asking?

719
00:56:44,750 --> 00:56:46,500
That daughter of yours, Jill?

720
00:56:48,310 --> 00:56:49,300
Joan.

721
00:56:50,350 --> 00:56:51,830
Well, I hear she's terrific.

722
00:56:53,070 --> 00:56:56,060
Fulbright scholar,
first girl in the country.

723
00:56:57,870 --> 00:56:59,420
A chip off the old block.

724
00:57:06,150 --> 00:57:09,620
I want you to be the first
to hear my statement to the press.

725
00:57:15,110 --> 00:57:16,900
"No pressure has been put on me

726
00:57:17,750 --> 00:57:21,100
"or any of my special agents
in the FBI's investigation

727
00:57:21,190 --> 00:57:24,620
"and that it strains..." I thought
I would just nip this in the bud.

728
00:57:25,190 --> 00:57:27,780
"It strains credulity
that President Nixon

729
00:57:27,910 --> 00:57:30,300
"could have done a con job
on the whole American people."

730
00:57:32,910 --> 00:57:34,310
What do you think?

731
00:57:37,150 --> 00:57:38,660
It's just fine.

732
00:57:43,670 --> 00:57:46,420
The Democrats
have issued a statement this morning.

733
00:57:48,150 --> 00:57:52,030
"The FBI's Watergate investigation
is a whitewash.

734
00:57:54,630 --> 00:57:58,860
"What is involved here is not only
the political life of this nation

735
00:57:59,830 --> 00:58:03,790
"but the very morality of our leaders

736
00:58:05,070 --> 00:58:08,700
"at a time when the United States
desperately needs to revitalize

737
00:58:08,790 --> 00:58:10,980
"its moral standards."

738
00:58:13,870 --> 00:58:17,300
"The FBI's Watergate investigation

739
00:58:19,830 --> 00:58:21,260
"is a whitewash."

740
00:58:25,630 --> 00:58:26,900
That's it.

741
00:58:33,230 --> 00:58:34,900
Well, gentlemen.

742
00:58:34,990 --> 00:58:36,500
Here's what we know.

743
00:58:37,750 --> 00:58:40,260
We know what we've heard
out of the Department of Justice

744
00:58:40,350 --> 00:58:42,220
the past two days is bullshit.

745
00:58:44,710 --> 00:58:47,740
We know the men
who broke into the Watergate

746
00:58:47,830 --> 00:58:49,500
are not the end of this thing,

747
00:58:51,190 --> 00:58:52,620
but the beginning.

748
00:58:53,590 --> 00:58:55,300
We know this is the latest link

749
00:58:55,390 --> 00:59:00,410
in a chain of illegal,
covert intelligence operations

750
00:59:00,830 --> 00:59:02,860
by the president's re-election campaign.

751
00:59:03,990 --> 00:59:07,300
We know we are facing obstruction
from multiple fronts.

752
00:59:07,390 --> 00:59:08,790
From the White House.

753
00:59:09,190 --> 00:59:10,670
From the CIA.

754
00:59:11,790 --> 00:59:14,380
From the Attorney General
of the United States,

755
00:59:14,470 --> 00:59:17,140
who is our boss, by the way.

756
00:59:18,350 --> 00:59:21,780
It is not our job to speculate
on the involvement of the president.

757
00:59:24,270 --> 00:59:26,620
It is our job
to follow the bread crumbs.

758
00:59:27,870 --> 00:59:31,300
But those bread crumbs
appear to be taking us

759
00:59:31,390 --> 00:59:33,900
on a tour of the West Wing
of the White House,

760
00:59:35,830 --> 00:59:38,580
and in the general direction
of the Oval Office.

761
00:59:40,310 --> 00:59:44,900
We also know we've been ordered
to shut down our pursuit of all this

762
00:59:44,990 --> 00:59:46,420
as of today.

763
00:59:47,990 --> 00:59:50,860
And we know that except
for the 30 men in this room,

764
00:59:52,550 --> 00:59:55,980
no one in the entire country
knows any of this

765
00:59:56,070 --> 00:59:58,580
and may never know any of this.

766
01:00:02,750 --> 01:00:06,260
No one can stop the driving force
of an FBI investigation.

767
01:00:06,950 --> 01:00:08,940
Not even the FBI.

768
01:00:37,910 --> 01:00:39,100
Segretti.

769
01:01:17,190 --> 01:01:18,860
I'm going to give you the name of a man

770
01:01:18,950 --> 01:01:21,340
who was asked to work
for the Nixon administration

771
01:01:22,270 --> 01:01:23,750
in an unusual way.

772
01:01:24,670 --> 01:01:25,700
What are you talking about?

773
01:01:26,710 --> 01:01:29,900
There's only one way to understand
what Watergate really means,

774
01:01:29,990 --> 01:01:31,180
and this is it.

775
01:01:33,270 --> 01:01:34,300
The name

776
01:01:37,030 --> 01:01:38,980
is Alex Shipley.

777
01:01:39,070 --> 01:01:40,100
Shipley.

778
01:01:41,270 --> 01:01:43,100
He lives in Nashville.

779
01:01:43,190 --> 01:01:46,820
The man who approached him
was a lawyer out of LA

780
01:01:46,910 --> 01:01:48,390
named Donald Segretti.

781
01:01:48,910 --> 01:01:49,900
Segretti.

782
01:01:52,110 --> 01:01:54,340
Shipley can tell you everything
you need to know.

783
01:01:54,910 --> 01:01:56,310
Will Shipley talk?

784
01:01:57,630 --> 01:02:00,140
I guess you're going
to have to find that out.

785
01:02:00,790 --> 01:02:01,820
One more thing.

786
01:02:03,670 --> 01:02:06,420
This comes from classified FBI files.

787
01:02:06,950 --> 01:02:09,740
The Department of Justice has it,
the White House has it,

788
01:02:11,030 --> 01:02:12,540
and, now, you have it.

789
01:02:15,270 --> 01:02:18,820
Let's just get on
with the election and stop this nonsense

790
01:02:18,950 --> 01:02:21,140
about there having been
a political espionage campaign

791
01:02:21,230 --> 01:02:22,220
against the Democrats.

792
01:02:22,310 --> 01:02:24,770
Here's what's making
the news at the top of the hour.

793
01:02:24,870 --> 01:02:28,980
North Vietnamese military attempts
to break through South Vietnamese lines

794
01:02:29,070 --> 01:02:32,850
have been met with an intense
bombing attack by a US aircraft.

795
01:02:32,950 --> 01:02:36,500
General Creighton Abrams,
the United States commander in Vietnam,

796
01:02:36,590 --> 01:02:38,660
ordered every available B-52

797
01:02:38,750 --> 01:02:40,580
into the northern sector
of South Vietnam.

798
01:02:40,670 --> 01:02:42,460
Though baseball season is over,

799
01:02:42,550 --> 01:02:45,940
the Philadelphia Phils went to
the Ozarks for a new manager today.

800
01:02:46,030 --> 01:02:49,100
Los Angeles coach Danny Ozark
was the surprise choice

801
01:02:49,230 --> 01:02:51,900
of Phils' general manager, Paul Owens.

802
01:02:51,990 --> 01:02:55,220
Ozark has had no big league
managerial experience...

803
01:03:39,510 --> 01:03:40,730
Mr. Woodward.

804
01:03:43,350 --> 01:03:44,700
The story isn't moving.

805
01:03:45,830 --> 01:03:47,700
Everyone stopped listening to you.

806
01:03:47,830 --> 01:03:49,420
This isn't the same as before.

807
01:03:52,790 --> 01:03:54,110
We're lost in detail.

808
01:03:55,630 --> 01:03:57,220
That's their plan.

809
01:03:58,230 --> 01:04:00,740
They want everyone confused.

810
01:04:01,630 --> 01:04:03,460
Confusion is control.

811
01:04:09,790 --> 01:04:12,700
The truth could ruin the administration.

812
01:04:15,790 --> 01:04:16,820
How high?

813
01:04:17,950 --> 01:04:19,270
How high does it go?

814
01:04:28,270 --> 01:04:30,500
You still don't understand
what I'm giving you.

815
01:04:34,750 --> 01:04:37,700
This is dangerous stuff
you're playing with.

816
01:04:39,070 --> 01:04:41,740
Especially, if it's known
before November 7th.

817
01:04:43,310 --> 01:04:45,100
That's election day.

818
01:04:45,190 --> 01:04:48,060
You put out the right story,
the public will scream.

819
01:04:49,310 --> 01:04:51,660
The Attorney General
will have to let me keep going.

820
01:05:14,790 --> 01:05:17,540
My editors know
that I'm talking to somebody,

821
01:05:17,670 --> 01:05:18,890
but not who.

822
01:05:18,990 --> 01:05:20,210
They don't ask.

823
01:05:25,550 --> 01:05:28,660
No one understands
how one person knows so much.

824
01:05:28,750 --> 01:05:31,140
No one can possibly know
how much I know.

825
01:05:34,870 --> 01:05:36,350
With all this mystery,

826
01:05:37,630 --> 01:05:39,820
there's a nickname for you at the paper.

827
01:05:42,470 --> 01:05:44,620
- Deep Throat.
- What?

828
01:05:45,070 --> 01:05:47,020
They didn't know what else to call you.

829
01:05:48,110 --> 01:05:49,140
That's just...

830
01:05:50,870 --> 01:05:53,020
They shouldn't have to call me anything.

831
01:06:02,950 --> 01:06:05,220
Take out your notebook. There's more.

832
01:06:17,950 --> 01:06:22,100
"FBI agents have established
Watergate bugging incident,

833
01:06:22,310 --> 01:06:25,820
"massive campaign
of political spying and sabotage.

834
01:06:26,470 --> 01:06:28,140
"'There is some
very powerful information, '

835
01:06:28,230 --> 01:06:29,980
"said one federal official,

836
01:06:30,070 --> 01:06:31,420
"'especially if it's known
before election day.""

837
01:06:31,510 --> 01:06:32,860
The White House
is vigorously denouncing a story

838
01:06:32,950 --> 01:06:34,350
in The Washington Post this morning

839
01:06:34,430 --> 01:06:38,020
accusing the administration
of engaging in a secret political war.

840
01:06:38,190 --> 01:06:41,020
White House Press Secretary
Ron Ziegler is calling the story

841
01:06:41,110 --> 01:06:43,300
a pack of scurrilous lies and innuendo.

842
01:06:43,430 --> 01:06:45,820
Based on baseless,
cowardly sources

843
01:06:45,910 --> 01:06:47,230
inside the Department of Justice.

844
01:06:52,750 --> 01:06:54,940
He's here, Mark. He has to be.

845
01:06:55,030 --> 01:06:56,900
There's a spy in the FBI.

846
01:06:57,350 --> 01:06:59,340
"FBI agents have established..."

847
01:06:59,430 --> 01:07:01,340
"One federal investigative
official said..."

848
01:07:01,430 --> 01:07:03,260
"According to FBI reports..."

849
01:07:03,350 --> 01:07:04,830
That's us, God damn it.

850
01:07:07,190 --> 01:07:11,780
There is information in here
that the bureau only got 72 hours ago.

851
01:07:11,990 --> 01:07:13,900
Are you goddamn joking?

852
01:07:15,590 --> 01:07:18,380
Mr. Felt,
you had something you wanted to say.

853
01:07:23,430 --> 01:07:25,620
The last few days,
I've heard various people

854
01:07:25,710 --> 01:07:28,170
accuse Mr. Lano of leaking to the press.

855
01:07:28,270 --> 01:07:29,750
- You've got to be kidding me!
- Him?

856
01:07:30,630 --> 01:07:32,980
And that he
and certain newspaper reporters

857
01:07:33,470 --> 01:07:35,380
- have been seen together.
- I'm going to be sick.

858
01:07:35,470 --> 01:07:38,300
I wanted to say to you, Mr. Lano,
in front of everyone here

859
01:07:38,910 --> 01:07:41,900
that I know these are
vicious lies by jealous agents.

860
01:07:43,950 --> 01:07:46,220
You're doing a fine job,
and no matter what,

861
01:07:46,310 --> 01:07:47,820
the director and I will support you.

862
01:07:48,710 --> 01:07:50,030
Mr. Gray.

863
01:07:51,710 --> 01:07:54,700
I may not be an FBI lifer
like some of you.

864
01:07:55,630 --> 01:07:57,540
I'm certainly no Mark Felt.

865
01:07:58,030 --> 01:08:01,260
Since I arrived here,
I have put up with paranoia,

866
01:08:01,750 --> 01:08:04,020
insubordination, second-guessing.

867
01:08:04,110 --> 01:08:06,060
Gentlemen, it's come to Jesus time.

868
01:08:08,030 --> 01:08:12,820
Whoever the leaker is,
whoever is the Judas among you,

869
01:08:12,910 --> 01:08:16,500
betraying me,
the other good men in this room,

870
01:08:16,590 --> 01:08:18,140
his family, God,

871
01:08:18,230 --> 01:08:21,340
not to mention the bureau
and the legacy of J. Edgar Hoover,

872
01:08:21,430 --> 01:08:22,460
step forward.

873
01:08:24,430 --> 01:08:27,420
Right here, right now.

874
01:08:52,190 --> 01:08:56,180
Charlie, we got an office pool
on who the leak is.

875
01:08:56,990 --> 01:08:58,700
My money's on you.

876
01:09:19,950 --> 01:09:21,500
It's just one big game, Charlie.

877
01:09:23,310 --> 01:09:25,740
We're all just chess pieces.
You gotta remember that.

878
01:09:28,190 --> 01:09:29,980
What's the body count?

879
01:09:31,070 --> 01:09:32,700
Eight, so far.

880
01:09:33,190 --> 01:09:36,580
You, me, a few guys on my team.

881
01:09:39,950 --> 01:09:42,670
- Where are they sending you?
- St. Louis.

882
01:09:44,870 --> 01:09:46,900
But I don't know
how much more I have left in me.

883
01:09:48,590 --> 01:09:49,660
You?

884
01:09:50,710 --> 01:09:51,930
San Francisco.

885
01:09:53,070 --> 01:09:54,390
Well, at least, it's Frisco.

886
01:09:55,270 --> 01:09:56,300
Yeah.

887
01:09:58,630 --> 01:09:59,660
Great.

888
01:10:01,710 --> 01:10:03,780
How many years you put in here, Charlie?

889
01:10:11,030 --> 01:10:12,060
The whole run.

890
01:10:13,350 --> 01:10:14,860
My kids were born here.

891
01:10:20,790 --> 01:10:23,140
Whatever Watergate was,
whatever it wasn't,

892
01:10:23,230 --> 01:10:26,220
the American people don't seem
to understand, nor care,

893
01:10:26,470 --> 01:10:29,300
as Nixon has won in a landslide.

894
01:10:39,750 --> 01:10:41,940
I appreciate you taking the time,
Mr. Felt.

895
01:10:42,590 --> 01:10:45,780
I always take care of my people,
Mr. Bates.

896
01:10:48,310 --> 01:10:50,770
In fact, my father always said to me,

897
01:10:51,150 --> 01:10:57,180
"Mark, whatever we do,
we have to make our lives vectors."

898
01:10:57,510 --> 01:11:01,860
Lines with force and direction.

899
01:11:06,830 --> 01:11:11,950
You have to destroy anything
that is sick beyond repair

900
01:11:12,030 --> 01:11:15,060
to rescue it from its agony.

901
01:11:15,150 --> 01:11:16,220
Mark.

902
01:11:17,390 --> 01:11:18,380
And...

903
01:11:19,150 --> 01:11:23,140
And the agony it causes everyone else,
Mr. Bates.

904
01:11:31,910 --> 01:11:35,020
It was thought that he might
have a little bit of difficulty.

905
01:11:49,470 --> 01:11:51,740
- Mr. Felt.
- What are you doing, Charlie?

906
01:11:57,310 --> 01:11:59,380
What is it, Mr. Bates?

907
01:12:11,510 --> 01:12:13,900
Here's to you. Bravo.

908
01:13:27,630 --> 01:13:29,900
Genesis commune.

909
01:13:29,990 --> 01:13:31,780
Ben Lomond, California.

910
01:13:32,430 --> 01:13:33,540
Check it thoroughly.

911
01:13:56,550 --> 01:13:59,380
These leaks
are driving the White House crazy.

912
01:14:01,070 --> 01:14:02,900
The White House
thinks it knows who it is.

913
01:14:04,750 --> 01:14:06,150
Your name came up.

914
01:14:09,590 --> 01:14:15,420
Do you have any idea
what that would mean?

915
01:14:15,790 --> 01:14:17,300
Treason, for one.

916
01:14:18,030 --> 01:14:21,020
Betrayal of everything
the FBI stands for, for another.

917
01:14:21,110 --> 01:14:22,860
Everything you stand for.

918
01:14:23,790 --> 01:14:25,380
So, why would I do it?

919
01:14:26,150 --> 01:14:27,220
I don't know.

920
01:14:28,590 --> 01:14:30,540
I can't imagine their thinking.

921
01:14:33,790 --> 01:14:35,700
Why don't they fire me then?

922
01:14:36,430 --> 01:14:37,830
You know everything.

923
01:14:38,870 --> 01:14:42,910
To them, the only thing worse
than keeping you is firing you.

924
01:14:47,310 --> 01:14:49,020
Dean did say something strange.

925
01:14:49,470 --> 01:14:52,300
Apparently, they know everything
going on inside our shop.

926
01:14:52,830 --> 01:14:55,940
- They have a source.
- Inside the FBI?

927
01:14:56,510 --> 01:15:01,740
He said they hear everything.

928
01:15:21,670 --> 01:15:24,060
We just swept your office for bugs,
Mr. Felt.

929
01:15:24,150 --> 01:15:25,550
Do it again!

930
01:15:43,390 --> 01:15:44,660
The knives are out.

931
01:15:45,630 --> 01:15:47,030
More than you know.

932
01:15:48,230 --> 01:15:49,340
Am I safe?

933
01:15:49,990 --> 01:15:51,020
No one is.

934
01:15:52,230 --> 01:15:55,260
The White House
is gonna sanitize the entire town.

935
01:15:55,430 --> 01:15:59,020
The director of Central Intelligence
will be gone by morning.

936
01:15:59,110 --> 01:16:00,220
Why?

937
01:16:00,310 --> 01:16:03,620
Apparently, he couldn't
smoke you out fast enough.

938
01:16:05,190 --> 01:16:06,300
The source

939
01:16:07,750 --> 01:16:09,300
of all those stories.

940
01:16:11,870 --> 01:16:13,500
Where does the CIA stand?

941
01:16:14,790 --> 01:16:16,940
The CIA is building a wall.

942
01:16:18,310 --> 01:16:19,420
We'll stay out of your way,

943
01:16:19,510 --> 01:16:21,420
but if we're forced
to protect ourselves,

944
01:16:21,910 --> 01:16:22,900
we will.

945
01:16:24,030 --> 01:16:27,340
The FBI will
never reach the CIA on this.

946
01:16:27,430 --> 01:16:28,700
And the White House?

947
01:16:29,430 --> 01:16:32,070
Presidents come and go,

948
01:16:32,190 --> 01:16:33,670
but the CIA stays.

949
01:16:34,310 --> 01:16:35,660
The FBI stays.

950
01:16:37,910 --> 01:16:39,390
We are the constants.

951
01:16:41,110 --> 01:16:42,380
I almost forgot.

952
01:16:43,750 --> 01:16:47,380
Time magazine's person of the year
is going to be Richard Nixon.

953
01:16:51,550 --> 01:16:52,820
I thought you'd like to know.

954
01:16:55,910 --> 01:16:56,940
Happy holidays.

955
01:17:36,550 --> 01:17:39,300
The president told me
the unthinkable has happened.

956
01:17:40,190 --> 01:17:41,980
He actually misses Hoover.

957
01:17:43,230 --> 01:17:45,380
"Hoover would have gotten
the dogs off him," he said.

958
01:17:46,270 --> 01:17:48,260
"He'd have everyone scared to death."

959
01:17:57,550 --> 01:18:00,700
The White House is going
to make me director permanently.

960
01:18:01,830 --> 01:18:03,020
Congratulations.

961
01:18:07,670 --> 01:18:09,780
Bill Sullivan
will be my number two.

962
01:18:20,950 --> 01:18:22,820
You know what the president
said to me today?

963
01:18:22,950 --> 01:18:26,780
He said, "The Germans had the right idea
during World War II.

964
01:18:28,190 --> 01:18:32,070
"If they went through a town and one
of their soldiers got hit by a sniper,

965
01:18:32,150 --> 01:18:35,500
"they'd line up the whole goddamn town
and kill everyone."

966
01:18:38,110 --> 01:18:42,180
He said,
"It's time to clean out the FBI."

967
01:18:47,630 --> 01:18:49,660
You know what that will mean for me.

968
01:18:49,750 --> 01:18:51,340
Remember, they're afraid of you.

969
01:18:57,950 --> 01:19:00,980
Mark, if you did know something,
you could come to me.

970
01:19:01,470 --> 01:19:04,110
We'd be able to work it out together.
We could do something about it.

971
01:19:06,390 --> 01:19:08,260
I can't protect you anymore.

972
01:19:11,470 --> 01:19:12,980
Just give 'em what they want.

973
01:19:14,750 --> 01:19:16,580
The traitor's head on a platter.

974
01:20:05,350 --> 01:20:07,500
So, the president asked me
what he should do.

975
01:20:07,590 --> 01:20:11,300
And, I tell him, get rid of everyone
in the interest of the nation.

976
01:20:11,910 --> 01:20:13,500
I didn't mean me, of course.

977
01:20:18,590 --> 01:20:20,420
You don't have many friends left,
you know.

978
01:20:21,310 --> 01:20:24,660
A bunch of your FBI pals
told me to cut your nuts off.

979
01:20:28,270 --> 01:20:30,340
Think they'll let you keep your badge?

980
01:20:31,430 --> 01:20:33,260
You got a lot of people worried
in Washington.

981
01:20:33,830 --> 01:20:35,420
They think
you're gonna unwrap everything.

982
01:20:36,030 --> 01:20:37,660
Everything from all the years.

983
01:20:38,110 --> 01:20:42,700
Everything we, you and I, know.

984
01:20:42,990 --> 01:20:44,540
Is that what you want to know, Bill?

985
01:20:46,150 --> 01:20:48,660
This your last little errand?

986
01:20:50,790 --> 01:20:52,460
To help the president sleep at night.

987
01:20:54,590 --> 01:20:56,660
I'm just sayin', you open those scabs,

988
01:20:58,430 --> 01:20:59,780
a lot of things underneath.

989
01:21:00,990 --> 01:21:02,620
Just remember, no one likes informers.

990
01:21:03,670 --> 01:21:05,500
They only remember you as a rat,

991
01:21:05,830 --> 01:21:09,140
even if you were their...
Even if you were their rat!

992
01:21:16,350 --> 01:21:19,900
Mr. Felt, Mr. Miller's on the phone.
He needs to speak with you.

993
01:21:37,950 --> 01:21:40,300
- This is Special Agent Clark.
- I don't want to know his name.

994
01:21:41,550 --> 01:21:43,300
Tell him what you told Mr. Bates and me.

995
01:21:44,110 --> 01:21:46,020
I don't think you have anything
to worry about, Mr. Felt.

996
01:21:47,910 --> 01:21:49,260
You don't think.

997
01:21:49,350 --> 01:21:50,420
Specific.

998
01:21:56,550 --> 01:21:59,460
The commune where the subject,
Joan Felt...

999
01:21:59,590 --> 01:22:00,940
Do not say her name.

1000
01:22:06,070 --> 01:22:07,100
Where the target is...

1001
01:22:09,110 --> 01:22:10,940
Definitely some people
of interest in there.

1002
01:22:12,990 --> 01:22:15,220
- Maybe some with the Underground.
- But the target?

1003
01:22:18,510 --> 01:22:19,940
If you ask me,

1004
01:22:21,270 --> 01:22:23,380
just someone's kid
looking for a way home.

1005
01:22:34,830 --> 01:22:36,980
We never spoke. No paper.

1006
01:22:37,070 --> 01:22:38,220
You don't know anything.

1007
01:23:08,350 --> 01:23:10,060
Do you know your physics, Sandy?

1008
01:23:12,350 --> 01:23:13,860
If you tap repeatedly

1009
01:23:14,790 --> 01:23:17,620
on the post of a building,
and the tapping is relentless,

1010
01:23:20,150 --> 01:23:21,370
it creates a rhythm.

1011
01:23:22,830 --> 01:23:26,260
If you do that long enough
and steadily enough, it will feed back.

1012
01:23:26,350 --> 01:23:28,460
The frequencies will align,

1013
01:23:28,550 --> 01:23:30,500
the molecules will scramble,

1014
01:23:30,590 --> 01:23:35,460
and the whole thing, the whole building
will come apart from the inside

1015
01:23:35,590 --> 01:23:37,180
and collapse in on itself,

1016
01:23:37,310 --> 01:23:39,340
and all come tumbling down.

1017
01:23:40,870 --> 01:23:42,860
The molecules are beginning to scramble.

1018
01:23:42,950 --> 01:23:45,980
The FBI is coming apart.
Do you know where that takes us?

1019
01:23:46,310 --> 01:23:49,460
Do you want a country
this big, this angry, this confused

1020
01:23:49,550 --> 01:23:51,140
without a police department?

1021
01:23:56,470 --> 01:23:57,790
Get out your notebook.

1022
01:24:00,230 --> 01:24:02,870
May, 1969 and February, 1971.

1023
01:24:02,950 --> 01:24:06,620
Mark, are you sure about this?

1024
01:24:06,750 --> 01:24:09,780
Between those dates,
White House employees were wiretapped.

1025
01:24:09,870 --> 01:24:12,700
Many of them aides
to the Secretary of State

1026
01:24:12,950 --> 01:24:15,620
and five reporters,
including The New York Times.

1027
01:24:17,110 --> 01:24:18,430
You're kidding.

1028
01:24:22,830 --> 01:24:25,470
- This is hard for you.
- What part?

1029
01:24:27,830 --> 01:24:29,580
All this truth.

1030
01:24:32,150 --> 01:24:34,900
The truth is hard for you.

1031
01:24:42,310 --> 01:24:46,620
The FBI illegally,
unconstitutionally and reprehensibly

1032
01:24:46,710 --> 01:24:49,140
bugged and taped

1033
01:24:49,230 --> 01:24:51,580
and secretly photographed
and memorialized

1034
01:24:51,670 --> 01:24:53,820
every move that those people made.

1035
01:24:54,670 --> 01:24:58,060
Them and their wives and
their mistresses and homosexual lovers.

1036
01:25:01,350 --> 01:25:03,180
- Who did the wiretaps?
- Bill Sullivan.

1037
01:25:03,390 --> 01:25:05,780
It became a rogue FBI operation.

1038
01:25:06,390 --> 01:25:09,380
Sullivan drove it. Sullivan and
the White House by themselves.

1039
01:25:11,430 --> 01:25:12,700
How 'bout you?

1040
01:25:14,670 --> 01:25:15,890
What do you know?

1041
01:25:15,990 --> 01:25:20,620
About everything else,
I knew every sordid little detail.

1042
01:25:20,710 --> 01:25:22,030
But not this.

1043
01:25:22,870 --> 01:25:24,460
They knew
they couldn't tell me about this.

1044
01:25:25,510 --> 01:25:26,860
Yeah, they couldn't count on you.

1045
01:25:28,430 --> 01:25:32,740
The White House is packing
all its crimes in separate little boxes.

1046
01:25:32,830 --> 01:25:36,140
Watergate, the spying,
the ugliness, the rot.

1047
01:25:36,630 --> 01:25:39,580
Each thing in a different box,
so that no one can put it together,

1048
01:25:39,670 --> 01:25:41,940
so that no one sees it's all connected.

1049
01:25:42,030 --> 01:25:45,810
And no one will care.
But it's all the same big thing.

1050
01:25:49,470 --> 01:25:52,500
And Watergate? Just the gateway.

1051
01:25:58,550 --> 01:26:01,190
Can you get the story out
before Gray's confirmation hearing?

1052
01:26:02,630 --> 01:26:03,980
What you're doing

1053
01:26:05,510 --> 01:26:08,020
will bring down
the whole house of cards.

1054
01:26:10,710 --> 01:26:13,140
But then, you already knew that.

1055
01:26:17,030 --> 01:26:18,740
Gray is ready to fall now.

1056
01:26:19,270 --> 01:26:20,820
Watch where it leads.

1057
01:26:36,990 --> 01:26:38,820
Any last-minute advice?

1058
01:26:40,990 --> 01:26:42,500
We've gone over everything.

1059
01:26:43,710 --> 01:26:45,300
They'll go easy.

1060
01:26:46,030 --> 01:26:48,020
You're the president's man.

1061
01:26:50,670 --> 01:26:52,900
Mr. Gray. What about this?

1062
01:26:54,670 --> 01:26:56,700
I don't know what my position should be.

1063
01:26:58,310 --> 01:26:59,980
It was before your time.

1064
01:27:01,790 --> 01:27:03,220
Tell the truth.

1065
01:27:04,470 --> 01:27:06,100
No one can argue with the truth.

1066
01:27:08,710 --> 01:27:11,700
Mr. Gray, this Time magazine
article by Sandy Smith

1067
01:27:11,790 --> 01:27:15,670
contains information on alleged wiretaps
requested by the White House

1068
01:27:15,750 --> 01:27:17,500
installed by the FBI.

1069
01:27:17,590 --> 01:27:19,100
How do you respond to these charges?

1070
01:27:20,310 --> 01:27:22,060
It was before my time, Senator.

1071
01:27:24,990 --> 01:27:27,630
What about the assertion in this article

1072
01:27:27,870 --> 01:27:31,100
that a White House aide
slipped Donald Segretti,

1073
01:27:31,190 --> 01:27:34,020
a target of the bureau's
Watergate investigation,

1074
01:27:34,110 --> 01:27:36,020
copies of what the FBI had?

1075
01:27:36,630 --> 01:27:37,950
We didn't look into that.

1076
01:27:38,030 --> 01:27:40,340
- Why on Earth not?
- I'll have to look into that.

1077
01:27:40,470 --> 01:27:43,340
Did you know that the White
House had your confidential file?

1078
01:27:45,390 --> 01:27:46,980
I did. Yes, Senator.

1079
01:27:56,590 --> 01:27:58,460
Let me tell you
how that might have happened.

1080
01:27:58,550 --> 01:27:59,740
Please do.

1081
01:27:59,830 --> 01:28:02,340
White House counsel
John Dean told me

1082
01:28:02,430 --> 01:28:06,340
the White House wanted everything
the FBI had on Watergate

1083
01:28:06,430 --> 01:28:08,500
to help with its own investigation.

1084
01:28:09,470 --> 01:28:11,700
Mr. Dean took all those FBI files.

1085
01:28:11,830 --> 01:28:14,550
How many Bureau reports
are we talking about?

1086
01:28:14,790 --> 01:28:17,820
How many reports did you give Mr. Dean?

1087
01:28:18,790 --> 01:28:20,380
I believe it was 82.

1088
01:28:21,350 --> 01:28:25,620
As the acting director of the FBI,
why on Earth would you do that?

1089
01:28:25,790 --> 01:28:28,020
- Because I was told to.
- By who?

1090
01:28:28,110 --> 01:28:29,740
Who would have ordered that?

1091
01:28:36,950 --> 01:28:39,220
The president.

1092
01:28:41,750 --> 01:28:44,980
One of the most difficult
decisions of my presidency,

1093
01:28:45,070 --> 01:28:46,620
I accepted the resignations

1094
01:28:46,710 --> 01:28:50,020
of two of my closest associates
in the White House,

1095
01:28:50,110 --> 01:28:52,750
Bob Haldeman and John Ehrlichman.

1096
01:28:52,830 --> 01:28:57,620
The counsel to the president,
John Dean, has also resigned.

1097
01:28:58,070 --> 01:29:00,300
The nation tonight
is in the midst of what may be

1098
01:29:00,390 --> 01:29:04,020
the most critical constitutional crisis
in its history.

1099
01:29:04,110 --> 01:29:08,500
As a result of the president's action,
the Attorney General has resigned.

1100
01:29:09,750 --> 01:29:13,060
L. Patrick Gray,
head of the FBI for nearly a year,

1101
01:29:13,190 --> 01:29:17,100
will now never take the chair
occupied by J. Edgar Hoover.

1102
01:29:17,190 --> 01:29:19,140
John Dean told me,
during a conversation,

1103
01:29:19,230 --> 01:29:21,340
that the White House
masterminded a cover-up.

1104
01:29:21,430 --> 01:29:22,860
I began by telling the president

1105
01:29:22,990 --> 01:29:25,260
that there was a cancer growing
on the presidency,

1106
01:29:25,350 --> 01:29:28,380
that it was important this cancer
be removed immediately

1107
01:29:28,470 --> 01:29:30,930
because it was growing
more deadly every day.

1108
01:29:40,630 --> 01:29:41,950
I found Joan.

1109
01:29:43,150 --> 01:29:44,660
Let's go get her.

1110
01:30:00,990 --> 01:30:03,630
Oh, my God. It's my parents.

1111
01:30:13,750 --> 01:30:15,700
It's all right. I know.

1112
01:30:24,310 --> 01:30:25,660
Mark?

1113
01:30:36,270 --> 01:30:37,670
Dad.

1114
01:30:53,710 --> 01:30:55,060
This is your grandson.

1115
01:30:58,310 --> 01:31:00,180
Come here, sweetheart.

1116
01:31:00,830 --> 01:31:01,820
There we go.

1117
01:31:15,790 --> 01:31:17,540
I had this feeling when I was little,

1118
01:31:21,510 --> 01:31:23,100
that I couldn't see into his eyes,

1119
01:31:28,670 --> 01:31:30,100
that he didn't approve of me.

1120
01:31:33,830 --> 01:31:38,180
That he was holding me up
to some impossible standard.

1121
01:31:42,710 --> 01:31:43,930
That was me.

1122
01:31:49,110 --> 01:31:50,780
When you were sick and you were little,

1123
01:31:50,870 --> 01:31:52,980
it was your father
who climbed into bed with you

1124
01:31:53,950 --> 01:31:55,460
in his shoes,

1125
01:31:56,670 --> 01:31:58,150
his holster, his suit.

1126
01:32:00,990 --> 01:32:05,060
He'd sit with you for hours
and rock you till you fell back asleep.

1127
01:32:58,190 --> 01:33:01,900
Oh!
Look at that big baby.

1128
01:33:12,790 --> 01:33:13,820
Thank you.

1129
01:33:16,910 --> 01:33:19,340
- Mr. Director? We're ready.
- Mr. Felt.

1130
01:33:26,030 --> 01:33:27,700
- Mark.
- Mr. Ruckelshaus.

1131
01:33:31,750 --> 01:33:33,020
Thank you.

1132
01:33:34,190 --> 01:33:37,260
Mr. Felt, thank you
for 31 years of service

1133
01:33:37,350 --> 01:33:39,140
to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

1134
01:33:39,750 --> 01:33:41,380
- Thank you.
- Hear, hear!

1135
01:33:51,390 --> 01:33:52,610
Congratulations.

1136
01:34:26,510 --> 01:34:28,500
- Hey, congratulations.
- Good luck, Mark.

1137
01:34:28,630 --> 01:34:29,820
Well done, Mark.

1138
01:34:33,110 --> 01:34:34,220
Congratulations, sir.

1139
01:34:34,310 --> 01:34:36,620
I have never been a quitter.

1140
01:34:37,230 --> 01:34:39,820
To leave office
before my term is completed

1141
01:34:39,910 --> 01:34:42,630
is abhorrent to
every instinct in my body.

1142
01:34:44,830 --> 01:34:46,260
But as president,

1143
01:34:46,630 --> 01:34:49,740
I must put
the interests of America first.

1144
01:34:56,630 --> 01:34:57,660
Therefore,

1145
01:34:58,830 --> 01:35:02,420
I shall resign the presidency
effective at noon tomorrow.

1146
01:35:03,390 --> 01:35:07,460
Vice President Ford,
will be sworn in as president

1147
01:35:07,790 --> 01:35:10,460
at that hour, in this office.

1148
01:35:20,430 --> 01:35:22,540
Counterespionage expert.

1149
01:35:22,630 --> 01:35:23,780
Nazi hunter.

1150
01:35:25,550 --> 01:35:27,980
You, Mr. Felt, are the G-man's G-man,

1151
01:35:28,950 --> 01:35:30,140
a hero and a patriot,

1152
01:35:31,270 --> 01:35:33,100
and we are a grateful nation.

1153
01:35:34,350 --> 01:35:37,380
Ladies and gentlemen,
for the past few weeks

1154
01:35:37,510 --> 01:35:40,380
you've heard through testimony
the sounds of the bombs

1155
01:35:40,470 --> 01:35:43,860
of the PLO and the Weather Underground
ringing in your ears.

1156
01:35:43,950 --> 01:35:45,580
People died.

1157
01:35:45,670 --> 01:35:48,310
We were a nation at war
at home and abroad.

1158
01:35:49,150 --> 01:35:50,500
We don't dispute that.

1159
01:35:51,470 --> 01:35:54,260
Now, we ask you to listen
for the sound of the Constitution.

1160
01:35:56,710 --> 01:35:57,740
You hear that?

1161
01:35:59,230 --> 01:36:01,260
It doesn't make quite as much noise
as a bomb, does it?

1162
01:36:02,950 --> 01:36:05,820
It just sits there, silent,
like our conscience,

1163
01:36:05,910 --> 01:36:09,620
just as it's done
for the last 200 years.

1164
01:36:10,350 --> 01:36:11,570
Mr. Felt.

1165
01:36:13,190 --> 01:36:14,980
On September 8th, 1972,

1166
01:36:15,110 --> 01:36:19,100
did you order 143 FBI agents
across the country

1167
01:36:19,190 --> 01:36:20,700
to break into the homes of relatives

1168
01:36:20,790 --> 01:36:22,740
of alleged members
of the Weather Underground,

1169
01:36:22,830 --> 01:36:24,740
to wiretap their phones
and bug their homes?

1170
01:36:24,870 --> 01:36:26,500
- Yes.
- Who else?

1171
01:36:26,830 --> 01:36:27,860
Who else what?

1172
01:36:27,950 --> 01:36:29,980
Who else participated
in giving those orders?

1173
01:36:33,350 --> 01:36:36,140
- Assistant Director Edward Miller?
- I gave the order.

1174
01:36:36,230 --> 01:36:38,820
Acting Director
L. Patrick Gray the third?

1175
01:36:38,910 --> 01:36:40,500
I gave the order.

1176
01:36:40,990 --> 01:36:41,980
Charles Bates?

1177
01:36:47,470 --> 01:36:49,140
You're really gonna
sit there and do that?

1178
01:36:50,830 --> 01:36:53,550
You're really gonna take that on
for everybody?

1179
01:36:54,670 --> 01:36:55,990
I gave the order.

1180
01:36:56,870 --> 01:36:59,460
Mr. Felt, you stated that you

1181
01:36:59,550 --> 01:37:01,940
frequently briefed
the Nixon White House on the case.

1182
01:37:02,030 --> 01:37:06,220
Maybe you could just give us
a quick snapshot on how that all worked.

1183
01:37:07,390 --> 01:37:11,780
I was in constant contact
with the White House on many matters.

1184
01:37:14,470 --> 01:37:17,140
In fact, I was in the
Oval Office so often,

1185
01:37:18,150 --> 01:37:21,180
people used to say
I had to be Deep Throat.

1186
01:37:28,030 --> 01:37:29,700
What did you just say?

1187
01:37:30,030 --> 01:37:34,380
I said I was with the White House,
Dean and so forth, so often,

1188
01:37:34,470 --> 01:37:38,660
people thought I was The Washington
Post's source for Watergate.

1189
01:37:38,990 --> 01:37:41,020
The person they called, "Deep Throat."

1190
01:37:49,670 --> 01:37:51,340
Before the witness is excused,

1191
01:37:53,190 --> 01:37:54,820
are there any questions from the jury?

1192
01:37:58,430 --> 01:38:00,300
Well, were you?

1193
01:38:01,470 --> 01:38:05,140
- Was I what?
- Were you Deep Throat?
