He's gonna regret the day
he stole that jewelry, man.
7

He... he messed
with the wrong guy.

00:00:28,362 --> 00:00:30,058
- John Wilkes Booth is like,

00:00:30,097 --> 00:00:33,499
Lincoln?
What does it all mean?
10
00:00:33,534 --> 00:00:35,901
What is he talking about?
11
00:00:35,936 --> 00:00:39,134
Slavery.
I don't even get it.

- Um... D.C. is the greatest
place to live on earth.
16
00:01:01,128 --> 00:01:05,293
Um, it's a transient city,
like a stepping stone.
17
00:01:05,332 --> 00:01:07,460
So that brings
a lot of new people in,
18
00:01:07,501 --> 00:01:09,212
but it's also...
Brings people who don't know
19
00:01:09,236 --> 00:01:11,398
what the fuck's going on.
20
00:01:11,438 --> 00:01:13,304

They all exist

- Have you been drinking?

Hello.
30

My name is Matt Gourley.
31
00:01:34,761 --> 00:01:37,060
And tonight, we're gonna
talk about Watergate.
32
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:40,898
Let's begin.

Five Watergate burglars
are arrested

in the Democratic
National Committee headquarters.
37
00:01:50,711 --> 00:01:54,011
What are they doing there?
Why are they breaking in?
38
00:01:54,047 --> 00:01:57,814
The young upstart reporter,
Robert Woodward,
39
00:01:57,851 --> 00:01:59,285
goes to the hearing.
40
00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:01,185
One of them,
41
00:02:01,221 --> 00:02:04,214
when the judge is asking
these five burglars,
42
00:02:04,257 --> 00:02:05,725
who do you work for?
43
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:07,421
The CIA.
44
00:02:07,461 --> 00:02:10,124
Excuse me, could you say that
a little bit louder?
45
00:02:10,163 --> 00:02:12,132
The CIA.
46
00:02:12,165 --> 00:02:17,468
Robert Woodward
is onto something.
47
00:02:17,504 --> 00:02:20,099
Oh, look
at this sweet little fat guy.

Where do you gotta be right now?
49
00:02:26,847 --> 00:02:29,009
Okay, let's go back in time.
50
00:02:29,049 --> 00:02:30,745
The year is 1970.
51
00:02:30,784 --> 00:02:35,779
A young Robert Woodward,
a lieutenant in the Navy...
52
00:02:35,822 --> 00:02:39,486
He's sitting next
to this older, distinguished man
53
00:02:39,526 --> 00:02:42,257
saying, I'm soon to be out
of the Navy.
54
00:02:42,295 --> 00:02:44,127
What am I gonna do with my life?
55
00:02:44,164 --> 00:02:47,362
Am I gonna become a lawyer
like my father wants?
56
00:02:47,401 --> 00:02:50,030
And this older man
presents himself as a mentor,
57
00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:52,301
saying, so listen to me.
58
00:02:52,339 --> 00:02:55,537
You're working for truth.
Stay with it.
59
00:02:55,575 --> 00:02:59,012
And young Robert Woodward
takes away from this thing,
60
00:02:59,046 --> 00:03:00,378
I can depend on this man.
61
00:03:00,414 --> 00:03:03,407
I can call on this man
at some point
62
00:03:03,450 --> 00:03:05,385
to give me information.
63
00:03:05,419 --> 00:03:10,949
That man is Mark Felt,
deputy director of the FBI.
64
00:03:10,991 --> 00:03:12,960
Let's flash forward
a little bit.
65
00:03:12,993 --> 00:03:16,293
Robert Woodward
and his partner, Carl Bernstein,
66
00:03:16,329 --> 00:03:19,265
decide to call
on his old buddy, Mark Felt,
67
00:03:19,299 --> 00:03:22,497
for information about Watergate.
68
00:03:22,536 --> 00:03:24,767
Felt says, I can't talk to you
on the phone about this.
69
00:03:24,805 --> 00:03:29,334
I'm Mark Felt, and I did
spy times in World War II,
70
00:03:29,376 --> 00:03:31,038
and I know how this works.
71
00:03:31,078 --> 00:03:35,174
You get The New York Times
every day at your door.
72
00:03:35,215 --> 00:03:39,016
At page 20,
I will draw a little clock
73
00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:40,520
that says what hour
I wanna meet you.
74
00:03:40,554 --> 00:03:41,783
And here's the thing.
75
00:03:41,822 --> 00:03:43,381
Any time you wanna meet me,
76
00:03:43,423 --> 00:03:45,858
Mark Felt says, I need something
77
00:03:45,892 --> 00:03:48,521
that I could visually
acknowledge.
78
00:03:48,562 --> 00:03:50,827
Woodward says,
I do have this potted plant
79
00:03:50,864 --> 00:03:52,162
that I keep out on my balcony.
80
00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:53,667
I could move that.
81
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:55,999
And Mark Felt is like,
here's the thing.
82
00:03:56,036 --> 00:03:58,403
I wanna meet you at
this underground parking garage
83
00:03:58,438 --> 00:03:59,770
in Virginia.
84
00:03:59,806 --> 00:04:02,742
But any time you wanna meet,
leave out the back stairs.
85
00:04:02,776 --> 00:04:05,541
Walk a couple of blocks.
Get in a cab.
86
00:04:05,579 --> 00:04:07,275
Take that cab.
Get out of the cab.
87
00:04:07,314 --> 00:04:09,874
Walk a couple blocks.
Get in another cab.
88
00:04:09,916 --> 00:04:12,408
Get in that cab.
Get out of that cab.
89
00:04:12,452 --> 00:04:15,081
Walk a couple blocks
to the Virginia parking garage
90
00:04:15,122 --> 00:04:17,887
that I previously talked about.
91
00:04:17,924 --> 00:04:20,553
Woodward meets Felt.
92
00:04:20,594 --> 00:04:21,926
And he says...
93
00:04:21,962 --> 00:04:27,799
[gulping]
94
00:04:27,834 --> 00:04:30,235
Hold on.
95
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:34,469
[whispering]
I think I'm gonna vomit.
96
00:04:34,508 --> 00:04:36,841
[exhales]
97
00:04:36,877 --> 00:04:39,369
[mutters and burps]
98
00:04:41,181 --> 00:04:44,049
[vomiting]
99
00:04:45,318 --> 00:04:48,015
Sorry, pal.
100
00:04:50,857 --> 00:04:53,850
I'm ready to tell the story.
101
00:04:53,894 --> 00:04:57,854
Woodward meets with Mark Felt,
102
00:04:57,898 --> 00:05:00,060
and he says,
could you tell me a little bit
103
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:04,128
about why these guys
might be connected?
104
00:05:04,171 --> 00:05:07,471
And he says, put the pieces
together, you dumbass!
105
00:05:07,507 --> 00:05:11,968
It's all in front of you.
Do the work!
106
00:05:12,012 --> 00:05:13,640
Just be careful.
107
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,377
Watergate is the tip
of the iceberg.
108
00:05:16,416 --> 00:05:19,352
And when Robert Woodward
took his secret source
109
00:05:19,386 --> 00:05:20,877
to The Washington Post, he said,
110
00:05:20,921 --> 00:05:22,583
my source is deep background.
111
00:05:22,622 --> 00:05:24,887
That means
he cannot be identified.
112
00:05:24,925 --> 00:05:28,362
Their editor
at The Washington Post said,
113
00:05:28,395 --> 00:05:30,159
yeah, you keep calling him
deep background,
114
00:05:30,197 --> 00:05:32,632
but I'm gonna call him
"Deep Throat"...
115
00:05:32,666 --> 00:05:36,899
based on the pornography film
that was very popular,
116
00:05:36,937 --> 00:05:40,533
which dealt with natural ladies,
you know?
117
00:05:40,574 --> 00:05:43,476
And so Woodward and Bernstein
figure out
118
00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:46,503
that this money
connected to these burglars
119
00:05:46,546 --> 00:05:50,415
goes all the way to
the Watergate administration...
120
00:05:50,450 --> 00:05:52,885
To the Nixon administration.
121
00:05:52,919 --> 00:05:56,014
Richard Nixon.
Let's talk about Richard Nixon.
122
00:05:56,056 --> 00:05:57,066
Do you wanna talk
about Richard Nixon?
123
00:05:57,090 --> 00:05:58,100
- I would Io... Yes, please.
124
00:05:58,124 --> 00:05:59,524
- Yeah, I thought you might.
125
00:05:59,559 --> 00:06:01,858
Mark Felt says to Nixon,
126
00:06:01,895 --> 00:06:04,888
I'm the deputy director
of the FBI.
127
00:06:04,931 --> 00:06:07,662
I'm gonna look
into this rascal Deep Throat.
128
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:10,933
And further,
I'm gonna set myself up
129
00:06:10,971 --> 00:06:13,497
as head of the investigation.
130
00:06:13,540 --> 00:06:16,510
So Nixon's top aide,
Haldeman, says,
131
00:06:16,543 --> 00:06:19,377
I think Mark Felt
is Deep Throat.
132
00:06:19,412 --> 00:06:22,849
And Nixon says,
now, why would he do that?
133
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:26,650
And when the Watergate hearings
gets to a boiling point,
134
00:06:26,686 --> 00:06:27,745
Nixon is like,
135
00:06:27,787 --> 00:06:30,018
I never knew
of this Watergate break-in
136
00:06:30,056 --> 00:06:32,958
to discover information
about the Democrats.
137
00:06:32,993 --> 00:06:35,485
And after that, he says,
I am not a crook.
138
00:06:35,528 --> 00:06:37,520
Nixon knows he's fucked.
139
00:06:37,564 --> 00:06:40,033
And he says, there's nothing
I can do about it.
140
00:06:40,066 --> 00:06:41,830
Nobody's gonna trust me
at this point.
141
00:06:41,868 --> 00:06:43,530
I gotta step down.
142
00:06:43,570 --> 00:06:45,562
Hand me some cookies.
143
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,868
All I know is I'm eating
cookies, and none of you are.
144
00:06:50,911 --> 00:06:53,437
Do you guys want some cookies?
145
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:54,724
- No, we like watching you
eat cookies.
146
00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:56,546
- You have no ambition.
147
00:06:56,583 --> 00:06:59,018
The interesting thing
about this take
148
00:06:59,052 --> 00:07:01,920
we're taking on it is all
the stories we know of Watergate
149
00:07:01,955 --> 00:07:04,117
is, who's Deep Throat?
150
00:07:04,157 --> 00:07:07,150
And now we can tell the story
knowing who Deep Throat is.
151
00:07:07,193 --> 00:07:08,957
And in the end,
152
00:07:08,995 --> 00:07:11,829
you can toss aside Richard Nixon
for all his cynicism,
153
00:07:11,865 --> 00:07:15,029
you can toss aside Deep Throat
for all his cynicism,
154
00:07:15,068 --> 00:07:18,869
but you can't toss aside
Robert Woodward,
155
00:07:18,905 --> 00:07:20,874
and to a lesser extent,
Carl Bernstein,
156
00:07:20,907 --> 00:07:25,003
for the truth that they exposed
157
00:07:25,045 --> 00:07:27,879
for America.
158
00:07:27,914 --> 00:07:29,678
Well, we told the story
of Watergate.
159
00:07:29,716 --> 00:07:32,618
There's no way I could
possibly misconstrue it
160
00:07:32,652 --> 00:07:37,420
as not the greatest
journalistic endeavor
161
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:38,857
ever told.
162
00:07:38,892 --> 00:07:40,952
Robert Woodward would be proud.
163
00:07:43,863 --> 00:07:46,890
- It's beautiful.
They're at the Ford's Theatre.
164
00:07:46,933 --> 00:07:49,801
Until John Wilkes Booth
comes into their box
165
00:07:49,836 --> 00:07:51,737
and shoots Lincoln in the head.
166
00:07:51,771 --> 00:07:54,502
Uhh... fuck!
167
00:08:00,647 --> 00:08:02,673
[mixed chatter]
168
00:08:02,716 --> 00:08:04,309
- Abraham Lincoln is,
like, the best.
169
00:08:04,351 --> 00:08:07,583
Aside from the pro...
The Emancipation Proclamation,
170
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:09,179
freed the slaves...
171
00:08:09,222 --> 00:08:11,919
Actually, I'm East African.
It doesn't matter.
172
00:08:11,958 --> 00:08:13,984
But he's fucking swag.
173
00:08:14,027 --> 00:08:15,723
Fucking great, Abraham Lincoln.
174
00:08:15,762 --> 00:08:18,231
Abraham Lincoln is,
like, the best...
175
00:08:18,264 --> 00:08:20,256
16th best president in America.
176
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:21,359
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
177
00:08:21,401 --> 00:08:23,893
- History.
Yeah?
178
00:08:25,905 --> 00:08:27,498
- When I drank,
it sounded like a fart.
179
00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:28,508
- [laughs]
180
00:08:28,541 --> 00:08:30,407
- Hello.
181
00:08:30,443 --> 00:08:32,571
Today, we're gonna talk
about John Wilkes Booth
182
00:08:32,612 --> 00:08:35,514
and his brother, Edwin Booth...
183
00:08:35,548 --> 00:08:38,074
The Booth brothers.
184
00:08:38,118 --> 00:08:40,644
Edwin Booth
and John Wilkes Booth
185
00:08:40,687 --> 00:08:43,521
were born to a British actor
186
00:08:43,556 --> 00:08:47,926
named Ju... nius Brutus Booth.
187
00:08:47,961 --> 00:08:49,930
[laughs]
188
00:08:49,963 --> 00:08:53,365
Edwin is a favorite
of their dad.
189
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,667
Junius was so mean,
he wouldn't even let John Wilkes
190
00:08:57,704 --> 00:08:59,263
into photographs with him.
191
00:08:59,305 --> 00:09:01,706
John Wilkes, stay back, man.
192
00:09:01,741 --> 00:09:04,939
Stay away
because you're not cool.
193
00:09:04,978 --> 00:09:07,504
Stop.
You're kind of weird.
194
00:09:07,547 --> 00:09:10,779
You're weirding everybody out.
Just back away.
195
00:09:10,817 --> 00:09:13,184
And he became sad,
196
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:16,246
which establishes their rivalry.
197
00:09:16,289 --> 00:09:19,623
In 1858, John Wilkes
and Edwin Booth
198
00:09:19,659 --> 00:09:24,097
were the most famous actors
in the world.
199
00:09:24,130 --> 00:09:29,398
Performance-wise,
everyone loved Edwin Booth.
200
00:09:29,436 --> 00:09:32,770
John Wilkes Booth...
He was untrained.
201
00:09:32,806 --> 00:09:38,109
He would knock sets down.
He was so violent.
202
00:09:38,144 --> 00:09:40,045
So when the Civil War broke out,
203
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,106
John Wilkes Booth is like,
204
00:09:42,148 --> 00:09:45,084
Lincoln?
What does it all mean?
205
00:09:45,118 --> 00:09:47,587
What is he talking about?
206
00:09:47,620 --> 00:09:50,784
Slavery.
I don't even get it.
207
00:09:50,824 --> 00:09:54,556
That was the moment
his political aspirations
208
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:59,396
overtook artistic aspirations.
209
00:09:59,432 --> 00:10:01,333
However, Abraham Lincoln
210
00:10:01,367 --> 00:10:04,428
was requesting
Edwin perform Shakespeare
211
00:10:04,471 --> 00:10:06,599
at government functions.
212
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:08,540
Am I fucking it up, guys?
213
00:10:08,575 --> 00:10:10,874
What's up, guys?
What... is it fucking it up?
214
00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:12,288
- You're not fucking
anything up, man.
215
00:10:12,312 --> 00:10:15,339
- Okay, okay.
[mumbling]
216
00:10:15,381 --> 00:10:17,316
Okay.
Right, right, right.
217
00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:18,875
At the Ford's Theatre
218
00:10:18,918 --> 00:10:21,820
when John Wilkes Booth
was gesticulating,
219
00:10:21,855 --> 00:10:23,949
Abraham Lincoln's sister-in-law
is like,
220
00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:26,482
I think he's pointing at you,
Abraham.
221
00:10:26,526 --> 00:10:27,994
And Abraham Lincoln is like,
222
00:10:28,027 --> 00:10:30,758
it does seem like
he's pointing at me.
223
00:10:30,797 --> 00:10:32,959
Uh...
224
00:10:32,999 --> 00:10:34,524
this is a little weird.
225
00:10:34,567 --> 00:10:37,867
He should, uh, you know,
226
00:10:37,904 --> 00:10:40,499
not be pointing at me
during this particular line
227
00:10:40,540 --> 00:10:45,035
because it's sort of...
aggressive.
228
00:10:45,078 --> 00:10:49,675
In November 1864,
Edwin Booth is like,
229
00:10:49,716 --> 00:10:52,345
hey, you know,
I wanna get to know you better.
230
00:10:52,385 --> 00:10:53,853
We've had some hard times.
231
00:10:53,887 --> 00:10:56,618
Let's do a play together again,
232
00:10:56,656 --> 00:11:00,320
for one performance only...
Julius Caesar.
233
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,797
John Wilkes' favorite role
was Brutus,
234
00:11:03,830 --> 00:11:08,268
the man that executes a tyrant.
235
00:11:08,301 --> 00:11:12,261
And Edwin Booth is like,
I get to play Brutus.
236
00:11:12,305 --> 00:11:14,968
[orchestral music]
237
00:11:15,008 --> 00:11:16,738
For one performance only,
238
00:11:16,776 --> 00:11:19,746
in the production
of Julius Caesar,
239
00:11:19,779 --> 00:11:24,410
Edwin said,
"Sic semper tyrannis,"
240
00:11:24,450 --> 00:11:27,386
and everyone loves it.
241
00:11:27,420 --> 00:11:28,547
Critics said that it was
242
00:11:28,588 --> 00:11:32,582
the most important show
of all time.
243
00:11:32,625 --> 00:11:35,561
So John Wilkes Booth
started getting involved
244
00:11:35,595 --> 00:11:38,429
with a secret
Confederate society
245
00:11:38,464 --> 00:11:44,131
and had masterminded a plan
to kidnap Lincoln.
246
00:11:44,170 --> 00:11:47,902
Uh...
247
00:11:47,941 --> 00:11:49,239
Mm-mm.
248
00:11:49,275 --> 00:11:51,086
So John Wilkes Booth
went to the Ford's Theatre
249
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:52,510
to pick up his mail,
250
00:11:52,545 --> 00:11:54,571
and John Ford's brother is like,
251
00:11:54,614 --> 00:12:00,144
hey, are you gonna come see
Our American Cousin tonight?
252
00:12:00,186 --> 00:12:02,178
Our American Cousin?
253
00:12:02,222 --> 00:12:05,590
You guys doing
Our American Cousin tonight?
254
00:12:05,625 --> 00:12:07,287
Yeah.
255
00:12:07,327 --> 00:12:09,853
Abraham Lincoln's gonna be here.
256
00:12:09,896 --> 00:12:11,421
You should come.
257
00:12:11,464 --> 00:12:15,925
And John Wilkes Booth
is like, uh, what?
258
00:12:15,969 --> 00:12:18,871
Abraham Lincoln's gonna be
at the theatre tonight?
259
00:12:18,905 --> 00:12:20,931
Oh, my God.
260
00:12:20,974 --> 00:12:26,538
I'm gonna change my plan
from kidnapping him
261
00:12:26,579 --> 00:12:28,775
to assassinating him.
262
00:12:28,815 --> 00:12:31,046
[laughter]
263
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:38,316
So Abraham Lincoln's at the play
Our American Cousin
264
00:12:38,358 --> 00:12:41,556
with his wife, Mary Todd.
265
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:43,187
It's beautiful.

John Wilkes Booth
comes into their box
274
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:23,026
and shoots Lincoln in the head.
275
00:13:23,069 --> 00:13:26,096

he jumped from the balcony,

That's John Wilkes Booth.

from fucking Julius Caesar.

is Elvis was out in L.A.,
and they were at a dinner.

And the people he was with
were like,

introduces himself.

356
00:17:08,995 --> 00:17:13,126
Mmm!
That's got a good taste.
357
00:17:13,165 --> 00:17:16,101
That's... that's a lot
to do a shot.
358
00:17:16,135 --> 00:17:19,264
- You're insane!
Whoo!
359
00:17:19,305 --> 00:17:21,206
- Yeah, we should've
just sipped that.
360
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,640
- Whoo!
361
00:17:22,675 --> 00:17:25,645
- Ready?
- Okay, buddy.
362
00:17:25,678 --> 00:17:28,546
Elvis writes a letter to Nixon
while on the plane.
363
00:17:28,581 --> 00:17:31,449
They land, and he drops it off
at the front of the White House.
364
00:17:31,484 --> 00:17:32,975
It was shocking.
365
00:17:33,019 --> 00:17:35,853
No celebrities want
to hang out with Nixon.
366
00:17:35,888 --> 00:17:37,550
So when he reached out,
they're like,
367
00:17:37,590 --> 00:17:38,853
Elvis wants to meet with you.
368
00:17:38,891 --> 00:17:40,450
This can't hurt matters.
369
00:17:40,493 --> 00:17:42,485
Don't you wanna see
what Elvis has to say?
370
00:17:42,528 --> 00:17:44,190
Why not?
371
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:46,392
He's like, yeah, arrange it.
Yeah, I wanna meet him.
372
00:17:46,432 --> 00:17:47,991
Let's see what's going on.
373
00:17:48,034 --> 00:17:50,299
And Elvis comes in.
374
00:17:50,336 --> 00:17:52,703
And Nixon looks at him like, uh,
375
00:17:52,738 --> 00:17:54,297
this is crazy, man.
376
00:17:54,340 --> 00:17:56,070
You dress really crazy, man.
377
00:17:56,108 --> 00:17:57,419
He's like, hey,
you have your get-up,
378
00:17:57,443 --> 00:17:59,071
I have mine, okay?
379
00:17:59,111 --> 00:18:01,239
Nixon's like,
yeah, I'm glad you came by.
380
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,840
I wanted to meet you.
Uh, good to see you.
381
00:18:03,883 --> 00:18:05,647
And Elvis does
the hard sell thing.
382
00:18:05,685 --> 00:18:07,210
He needs the badge.
383
00:18:07,253 --> 00:18:08,516
Well, I care, man.
384
00:18:08,554 --> 00:18:10,232
I care about what's going on
with these people.
385
00:18:10,256 --> 00:18:11,884
And I care about the hippies
386
00:18:11,924 --> 00:18:14,120
and everything that's
being said right now, man.
387
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,458
It's terrifying.
388
00:18:15,494 --> 00:18:17,463
People that are saying things
about you
389
00:18:17,496 --> 00:18:20,466
and, uh, the people
that are saying things about me.
390
00:18:20,499 --> 00:18:23,298
And that's why I'm happy
to be here... man.
391
00:18:23,336 --> 00:18:24,395
But I need this badge.
392
00:18:24,437 --> 00:18:26,463
This is so big for me.
I need it.
393
00:18:26,505 --> 00:18:29,168
Nixon really takes it in,
kind of asks his aide.
394
00:18:29,208 --> 00:18:30,676
He's like, can we do this?
395
00:18:30,710 --> 00:18:32,421
And the aide comes back, says,
I'm sorry, it's done.
396
00:18:32,445 --> 00:18:35,108
We cannot give this badge.
Sorry, Mr. Presley, we cannot...
397
00:18:35,147 --> 00:18:39,278
You have no qualifications
in our mind to have this badge.
398
00:18:39,318 --> 00:18:40,318
[burps]
399
00:18:40,353 --> 00:18:42,481
Mm.
Sorry, brother.
400
00:18:42,521 --> 00:18:44,080
I'm loving it.
401
00:18:44,123 --> 00:18:46,285
And Nixon decides
to give him this badge.
402
00:18:46,325 --> 00:18:48,453
So Elvis goes back
to get photos taken,
403
00:18:48,494 --> 00:18:49,826
but then Elvis is
404
00:18:49,862 --> 00:18:54,027
a licensed and registered
federal narcotics agent.
405
00:18:54,066 --> 00:18:56,661
So Elvis had police lights,
would pull people over.
406
00:18:56,702 --> 00:19:00,298
You have any idea
how fast you were going?
407
00:19:00,339 --> 00:19:04,242
Another time,
he saw this crazy lunatic guy.
408
00:19:04,276 --> 00:19:05,574
The guy was allowed inside.
409
00:19:05,611 --> 00:19:07,671
And everyone's like,
why is this crazy person
410
00:19:07,713 --> 00:19:09,272
being allowed inside?
This is...
411
00:19:09,315 --> 00:19:11,011
He's like, no, no!
He's all right, man.
412
00:19:11,050 --> 00:19:13,417
He's okay.
He's part of this team.
413
00:19:13,452 --> 00:19:14,930
We're gonna work with him, man.
He's funny.
414
00:19:14,954 --> 00:19:16,616
And then Elvis liked him,
loved him,
415
00:19:16,656 --> 00:19:18,022
and then got tired of him.
416
00:19:18,057 --> 00:19:19,355
So he said he had to go home.
417
00:19:19,392 --> 00:19:22,123
So Elvis was gonna pay
for his flight home.
418
00:19:22,161 --> 00:19:24,756
Come back,
some jewelry's missing.
419
00:19:24,797 --> 00:19:27,460
So they figured out this guy
had stolen some jewelry.
420
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:29,059
Elvis freaks out.
421
00:19:29,101 --> 00:19:31,297
He's gonna regret the day
he stole that jewelry, man.
422
00:19:31,337 --> 00:19:34,205
He... he messed
with the wrong guy.
423
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,209
The guy was about to take off,
424
00:19:36,242 --> 00:19:39,770
and then he sees Elvis running
next to it in a jumpsuit,
425
00:19:39,812 --> 00:19:42,008
holding a real
federal narcotics badge.
426
00:19:42,048 --> 00:19:44,279
So the plane stops.
427
00:19:44,316 --> 00:19:47,309
They pull the guy out.
428
00:19:49,155 --> 00:19:50,919
Elvis pulled the plane over
429
00:19:50,956 --> 00:19:53,391
to pull this guy off
and interrogate him...
430
00:19:53,426 --> 00:19:57,761
of which Elvis had
a couple random questions.
431
00:19:57,797 --> 00:19:59,322
Where'd you get
the jewelry, man?
432
00:19:59,365 --> 00:20:03,166
And he just cried and said,
I got the jewelry here.
433
00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:04,636
I'm so sorry.
434
00:20:04,670 --> 00:20:06,481
You shouldn't have taken that,
but you're car...
435
00:20:06,505 --> 00:20:08,064
[stammers]
All right.
436
00:20:08,107 --> 00:20:09,473
So we're good, man.
437
00:20:09,508 --> 00:20:10,999
Gives him like 200 bucks
438
00:20:11,043 --> 00:20:14,104
and then buys him
another ticket out.
439
00:20:14,146 --> 00:20:16,146
And, you know, everything's
just a little bit safer
440
00:20:16,182 --> 00:20:19,414
in that part of Memphis.
441
00:20:19,452 --> 00:20:21,648
You feel it?
442
00:20:21,687 --> 00:20:24,521
Hey!
Do you feel it?
443
00:20:24,557 --> 00:20:27,152
Thank you.
444
00:20:27,193 --> 00:20:29,424
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
445
00:20:29,462 --> 00:20:33,024
- Thank you.
- Okay, bye.

He's funny.

And then Elvis liked him,
