Mr. Hunt! Mr. Liddy wants you
to read Jack Anderson's column

and call him immediately.

Mr. Liddy
can go fuck himself.

Good evening.

Charges made by newspaper
columnist Jack Anderson

have raised grave questions
about the integrity

of the Nixon administration.

Anderson wrote today
that he has evidence

that the International Telephone
and Telegraph company

made a secret deal
with the administration

to obtain a favorable settlement
of a giant antitrust suit.

Anderson said that a memo
he obtained from ITT files

showed that the settlement
was a payoff for a pledge

by ITT to contribute up
to 400,000 dollars

for the upcoming Republican
National Convention

in San Diego.

Anderson quotes ITT's
top lobbyist, Dita Beard,

saying she discussed
arrangements for settling

the case with Attorney General
John Mitchell

at a party last May.

- Liddy here.
- It's Howard. Got your message.

Howard, thank you
for, uh, calling me back.

Of course.
I just read the paper.

You saw it?
Hmm.

"We now have evidence
that the settlement

of the Nixon Administration's
biggest antitrust case

was privately arranged between
Attorney General John Mitchell

and the top lobbyist
for the company involved."

"For 400,000 dollars
in hotel rooms,

and we have this on the word
of the lobbyist herself,

crusty, capable Dita Beard,

the International Telephone
and Telegraph Company.

She acknowledged the secret deal
after we obtained

a highly incriminating memo,

written by her,
from ITT's files."

They're going
to crucify Mitchell.

And the president,
unless we can figure out
how to stop it.

Shit.

We've got
a second chance, Howard.

I will call you later.

And certainly not you.

Because you still go to jail
for bribery.

And for what?

To make the journalists
and Democrats happy?

Donkey fuckers.

Donkey fuckers, indeed.

On the other hand, if you stick
with the White House's story...

and you stay loyal
to your party.

There's a very good chance
that you walk away scot-free,

and sparing your family
the embarrassing

public spectacle
of a lengthy investigation.

Yeah, Edwina...
Edwina is just wrecked by this.

And she works
for the fucking RNC.

Poor kid.

I can see...
how much you love her.

Fuck yes. She's my baby girl.

She needs you right now.

She needs to know...

that she's the most important
thing in your world.

More important than ITT
or anything else.

Because she's your family,

and family always comes first.

- Oh, yeah.
- Before work.

Before country.

Before everything.

And I'm willing to bet...

that your ITT family...

rewards loyalty...

especially around Christmas.

In the meantime...

here's a stocking stuffer.

Mrs. Beard,
do you recognize this document?

I do not.

Mrs. Beard,
is this not your signed memo

regarding ITT's bribery
of the Nixon Administration?

That is certainly what it says.
But I didn't write it.

No, that is a goddamn forgery.
That is not even my signature.

Mrs. Beard, may I remind you,
you are under oath?

I was not even in the offi--
Oh, God-- Oh, honey!

I can't breathe.

Yes, Mother. I took my pill.

Thank you.

Bonsoir, bonsoir.

Do you wanna play with us?

Yeah, Papa?

Sure.

Mama. Your turn.
Hmm?

Uh, D-O-N-E. Done.

Us are useless without Qs.

Actually,
it's the other way around.

Touché.
Ooh.

Xerox.

That's a proper noun.

- What is?
- Xerox.

No, it's become
just a regular word.

I mean, nobody says,
"Hey, can you photocopy this?"

It-- it's still a proper noun. Mama.

We, uh...

you might like to know,

our sources tell us
that the Senate

has denied Ted Kennedy's request

for further hearings,
thanks to you.

Oh, no. Thanks to him.

- Oh.

how he pulled it off, though.

It-- It was a team effort.

I assume you guys heard the news

We sent our condolences

Oh!

Congratulations, gentlemen.
Great work on helping Ms. Beard

- Our pleasure, sir.

Oh, by the way, Project GEMSTONE
has been approved.

I want you two to put together
your team ASAP.

Uh, that's-- that's my cue.

Thank you.
All right,

I want you two
to huddle with McCord

to need, all right?

McCord? What are we doing
with McCord?

He's head of security
for the committee

and Mitchell thought
he could be useful.

What? Mitchell fired him!
He was Martha's babysitter!

I know. He's also a whiz
with gizmos, bugs,

and electronic surveillance,
ex-CIA and ex-FBI,

so he's the perfect playmate
for you two.

And we can afford him,
because he's already
on the payroll.

Don't you get it?

We need operatives
who are off the payroll.

Plausible deniability.

- It-- It's fine.
- No.

We'll have McCord
wire the yacht.

Oh, about that.
Uh, there is no yacht.

- What?
- And no hookers, sadly.

Those hookers
were looking forward to it.

I know, but only one GEMSTONE
was approved

and your new operating budget
is 250 thou,

which should be more than ample.

Goddammit, Jeb, that's a quarter

Easy.
Hold on.

Which gemstone was approved?

Not now, Jim.

That's a really
big fucking building, boss.

I heard the hotel is nice.

Don't worry. Villo can pick
any lock in there. Right, Villo?

Qué? Qué?

Can I ask a question? I'll say.
Which one is the Watergate?

It's right there.
That's it.
- The condominium.
