Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,626 --> 00:00:04,837
And what I envision is a day when
there will be no neglect of the elderly,
2
00:00:04,921 --> 00:00:07,340
of Hispanics, of blacks, of women.
3
00:00:07,423 --> 00:00:11,177
A day when Florida will stand as a
beacon of enlightenment and understanding,
4
00:00:11,260 --> 00:00:14,388
in private industry
as well as the public sector,
5
00:00:14,472 --> 00:00:18,267
education, housing, law enforcement,
social services...
6
00:00:18,351 --> 00:00:20,269
The list goes on.
7
00:00:20,353 --> 00:00:23,814
A leader, not only to our Southern neighbors,
but to the rest of the nation as well.
8
00:00:23,898 --> 00:00:28,945
You know, you listen to any more of that crap,
it's gonna melt your brain down.
9
00:00:28,986 --> 00:00:32,615
I'm checking the pulse
of the body politics, partner.
10
00:00:32,698 --> 00:00:34,617
You oughta give the guy
a chance.
11
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:36,994
Gee, I'd love to, Rico.
12
00:00:37,078 --> 00:00:42,583
But, you see, we have this date
with these high-priced panty raids,
13
00:00:42,667 --> 00:00:44,710
and I don't want to keep
the ladies waiting.
14
00:00:44,794 --> 00:00:48,881
He's almost through... to
be not only envious, but proud.
15
00:00:48,965 --> 00:00:52,051
And with your help,
I believe with all my heart...
16
00:00:52,134 --> 00:00:56,222
that I can show this grand
and glorious state of ours the way.
17
00:00:56,305 --> 00:00:58,224
Thank you.
18
00:00:58,307 --> 00:01:00,893
Because the solution
to your problems...
19
00:01:00,977 --> 00:01:03,521
is right here in this bottle
of snake oil, ladies and gentlemen.
20
00:01:03,604 --> 00:01:07,358
Step right up here! Get your solution
right here! Ah, get the hell out of here.
21
00:01:07,441 --> 00:01:09,402
What is it with you, man?
22
00:01:09,485 --> 00:01:11,946
You like the other guy, Cowan?
He's a fascist.
23
00:01:12,029 --> 00:01:14,991
Yeah, well, at least he's a
100-percenter when it comes to the cops,
24
00:01:15,032 --> 00:01:17,618
not like this, uh, limp rag Pierce.
25
00:01:17,702 --> 00:01:20,913
I thought you didn't vote statewide.
26
00:01:20,997 --> 00:01:25,251
I don't. Can't bring myself to choose
the least-dangerous mediocrity.
27
00:01:42,059 --> 00:01:44,645
Everybody's in position.
28
00:01:44,729 --> 00:01:47,732
Yeah.
29
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,068
Circus is right on time.
30
00:01:59,577 --> 00:02:03,080
Sure you got enough firepower
for all them hookers there, Switek?
31
00:02:36,364 --> 00:02:41,452
This is the Metro Police Department.
You're about to be boarded.
32
00:02:41,535 --> 00:02:44,205
Do not attempt
to leave the train.
33
00:02:44,288 --> 00:02:46,707
The party's over, folks.
34
00:02:49,251 --> 00:02:51,712
Evening, ladies.
35
00:02:51,796 --> 00:02:55,841
Come on, come on.
Move it. Move it.
36
00:02:55,925 --> 00:02:59,553
I wasn't trying to buy you. I just
wanted to take you away from all this.
37
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:01,555
You seem like such a nice girl.
38
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,641
I am a nice girl.
39
00:03:03,724 --> 00:03:06,143
- Yeah, I'll vouch for that.
- Come on, come on, come on.
40
00:03:08,312 --> 00:03:12,733
Well, we got an old friend of
yours, Crockett. Cha Cha Tangero.
41
00:03:12,817 --> 00:03:16,320
Cha Cha.
Qué pasa, dude?
42
00:03:16,404 --> 00:03:20,241
Well, so much for that fast
rehabilitation, huh, and early parole?
43
00:03:20,324 --> 00:03:23,244
Kiss off, Crockett!
What happened? You get lonely?
44
00:03:23,327 --> 00:03:26,747
You start missing them bunkmates?
45
00:03:26,831 --> 00:03:30,251
Well, don't worry. Looks like
you're gonna be reunited real soon.
46
00:03:30,334 --> 00:03:33,087
Yep. He's doing the best he can.
47
00:03:33,170 --> 00:03:35,172
Talk about the caboose.
48
00:03:36,340 --> 00:03:39,093
You know, you better be glad
I didn't use this on you.
49
00:03:40,261 --> 00:03:43,556
All right, it's good night
for the love train.
50
00:03:43,597 --> 00:03:46,684
Hey, sweetheart...
Grab her, will you?
51
00:03:46,726 --> 00:03:49,562
Come on, let's...
Hey, where the hell are you going?
52
00:03:49,603 --> 00:03:52,565
Hey, didn't you... Where do you think
you're going? Do you see this badge?
53
00:03:52,606 --> 00:03:56,610
I'll bet you do a hell
of a bunny hop.
54
00:03:58,946 --> 00:04:02,283
Get those hands
right where we can see them.
55
00:04:04,493 --> 00:04:06,787
All right, turn around
nice and slow.
56
00:04:21,093 --> 00:04:24,096
By God, he's got my vote.
57
00:05:31,831 --> 00:05:33,791
So there's this guy there, right,
58
00:05:33,833 --> 00:05:38,254
with this huge diaper
and the big pins and everything,
59
00:05:38,295 --> 00:05:41,507
and he's lying in this gigantic crib.
60
00:05:41,549 --> 00:05:44,176
And he... And he weighs about 280 pounds.
61
00:05:44,260 --> 00:05:46,679
He's got a pacifier in his mouth.
62
00:05:46,762 --> 00:05:49,098
And... And he's crying out
for his mother.
63
00:05:49,181 --> 00:05:53,853
And there's this gigantic woman,
and she's telling him,
64
00:05:53,894 --> 00:05:55,855
"Naughty, naughty.”
65
00:05:55,938 --> 00:05:57,857
I'm looking for Detectives
Crockett and "Stubbs."
66
00:05:57,940 --> 00:06:00,317
- You mean Tubbs.
- Who the hell are you?
67
00:06:01,569 --> 00:06:04,655
Hazlitt, does this clown
have your seal of approval?
68
00:06:04,738 --> 00:06:08,367
- That's enough, Crockett. This is official.
- I don't give a damn what it is.
69
00:06:08,450 --> 00:06:10,995
0O.C.B. is off-limits.
70
00:06:11,036 --> 00:06:14,707
You bringing whoever the hell this is in here
compromises everybody that works undercover.
71
00:06:14,748 --> 00:06:18,127
David Macklin. I'm Congressman
Pierce's campaign manager.
72
00:06:18,210 --> 00:06:23,132
Oh! Then you must be
looking for a job.
73
00:06:23,215 --> 00:06:26,844
The tunnel vision of this cretin could
deprive Florida of the governor it deserves.
74
00:06:26,886 --> 00:06:30,222
Great. A campaign speech.
75
00:06:30,264 --> 00:06:32,558
Who put you up to it?
To what?
76
00:06:32,641 --> 00:06:35,519
To your display of puritanism
run amok.
77
00:06:35,603 --> 00:06:37,521
That's police business.
78
00:06:39,607 --> 00:06:42,192
Lieutenant Castillo.
79
00:06:42,276 --> 00:06:44,236
Deputy Commissioner Hazlitt.
How are you?
80
00:06:48,073 --> 00:06:51,035
I need to know the, uh,
reason for you being here.
81
00:06:51,076 --> 00:06:53,370
It's about the badge
controlling the brain.
82
00:06:53,454 --> 00:06:55,456
Commissioner's orders.
83
00:06:55,539 --> 00:06:58,208
In light of what happened last night,
he thought it might be best...
84
00:06:58,250 --> 00:07:00,753
if Mr. Macklin had a chance to talk
with the arresting officers.
85
00:07:02,087 --> 00:07:05,382
Well, then Mr. Macklin
should improve his manners.
86
00:07:05,466 --> 00:07:07,426
Now hit the bricks, bozo.
87
00:07:15,684 --> 00:07:20,773
The next time you have a problem with
any one of my detectives, see me first.
88
00:07:21,815 --> 00:07:25,402
Follow the chain of command.
Come into my office.
89
00:07:39,291 --> 00:07:42,044
Well, gentlemen,
90
00:07:42,127 --> 00:07:45,589
I think it's time for what some
football coaches call a gut check.
91
00:07:45,673 --> 00:07:48,467
We're gonna be pushing the rock
uphill from here on out.
92
00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:51,178
Belaboring the obvious certainly
won't help me out of this mess.
93
00:07:51,261 --> 00:07:53,180
Have you decided on a strategy?
94
00:07:53,263 --> 00:07:56,016
Yeah. Keeping questions
like that to an absolute minimum.
95
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:59,395
Shouldn't be too difficult.
96
00:07:59,436 --> 00:08:03,190
We just have to keep the people's eyes
on the issues and off my sex life.
97
00:08:03,273 --> 00:08:05,275
I got a call from Tallahassee.
98
00:08:05,317 --> 00:08:08,278
The League of Women Voters
is preparing a formal denunciation.
99
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,866
- How self-righteous.
- Unfortunately, Tom, they cannot be ignored.
100
00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:16,704
- They reflect public sentiment,
- Just keep pounding away on the issues.
101
00:08:16,787 --> 00:08:18,789
My record has to be good
for something.
102
00:08:18,872 --> 00:08:23,043
All right.
What about the press?
103
00:08:23,127 --> 00:08:26,296
Annie will be here in a couple of hours.
I'll wait for her input.
104
00:08:28,048 --> 00:08:31,385
How's she holding up?
105
00:08:31,468 --> 00:08:34,638
Look, this is nothing
she hasn't been through before.
106
00:08:36,890 --> 00:08:39,393
Well, it's nice to get
an objective reading.
107
00:08:39,476 --> 00:08:41,395
You are getting one.
108
00:08:41,478 --> 00:08:44,857
Why do you think I have the highest
conviction rate in this department?
109
00:08:44,898 --> 00:08:47,192
I don't take bad cases to trial.
110
00:08:47,234 --> 00:08:50,571
And your case against Pierce
wouldn't fly if you put wings on it.
111
00:08:50,654 --> 00:08:54,658
The man was arrested on a rolling
whorehouse. And what was he doing there?
112
00:08:54,742 --> 00:08:57,202
Well, he wasn't passing out
campaign fliers.
113
00:08:57,244 --> 00:09:00,039
You don't know that
for sure.
114
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:05,419
- Sarelli, the sheets were still hot.
- So?
115
00:09:05,502 --> 00:09:08,964
So his playmate and the other girls go to court,
some of them get convictions,
116
00:09:09,048 --> 00:09:12,301
and Hot Pants Pierce doesn't get a call?
117
00:09:12,384 --> 00:09:14,845
Kind of a double standard thing,
don't you think?
118
00:09:14,928 --> 00:09:17,848
If nothing else,
the double standard is consistent.
119
00:09:17,931 --> 00:09:22,102
A visiting fireman from Boise wouldn't face
trial for frequenting a house of ill repute.
120
00:09:22,186 --> 00:09:24,938
And a candidate for governor
shouldn't either.
121
00:09:26,190 --> 00:09:29,860
Well, what the hell is Vice
doing in business?
122
00:09:31,028 --> 00:09:34,031
Selective prosecution isn't a
difficult concept to understand.
123
00:09:34,073 --> 00:09:36,909
Sounds more like
selective protection.
124
00:09:36,950 --> 00:09:39,661
Look, detectives,
125
00:09:39,745 --> 00:09:44,875
Pierce may be guilty of bad judgment and
questionable taste, but there was no crime committed.
126
00:09:44,958 --> 00:09:48,879
Find one that you can prove
he committed, and I'll prosecute.
127
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:55,803
- Let it go.
- So he can hang a red light in the governor's mansion?
128
00:09:56,970 --> 00:09:59,473
We'll let the voters decide that,
not you.
129
00:10:00,808 --> 00:10:03,769
Lieutenant, I think
what Sonny's trying to say is...
130
00:10:03,811 --> 00:10:06,480
His pride's speaking.
Yours is too.
131
00:10:06,563 --> 00:10:09,983
I think you're both good enough cops
to realize it's a dead end.
132
00:10:10,067 --> 00:10:13,946
There's something about the way
that guy had Hazlitt lean on us...
133
00:10:13,987 --> 00:10:16,949
that just strokes my feathers
the wrong way.
134
00:10:16,990 --> 00:10:19,576
Clean up the cases
you already have.
135
00:10:22,579 --> 00:10:25,290
Wanna see the best pictures of the night?
Forget it.
136
00:10:25,332 --> 00:10:27,334
Let me take a look, Stan.
137
00:10:31,421 --> 00:10:34,925
Kind of hard to find this exotic.
138
00:10:35,008 --> 00:10:39,304
Well, his name's Barry Bloom. He drove
Pierce to the train station last night.
139
00:10:39,346 --> 00:10:42,224
So?
Well, he works for Pierce,
140
00:10:42,307 --> 00:10:44,726
but he's got a real shaky
reputation.
141
00:10:46,228 --> 00:10:48,230
Meaning?
142
00:10:48,313 --> 00:10:50,983
Well, his specialty's
dirty tricks.
143
00:10:52,359 --> 00:10:54,278
Who told you that?
144
00:10:54,361 --> 00:10:57,197
Oh, a volunteer
at Pierce's headquarters.
145
00:10:57,239 --> 00:11:00,659
Said he's real good at
screwing up a guy's campaign.
146
00:11:00,742 --> 00:11:03,579
The other guy's campaign,
I mean.
147
00:11:10,252 --> 00:11:13,005
Whoa. This guy's a real charmer.
148
00:11:13,088 --> 00:11:17,426
Looks like he should be on a playground
somewhere giving candy to little girls.
149
00:11:19,261 --> 00:11:24,850
Angelica, if we didn't trust you, we never
would have made the pitch in the first place.
150
00:11:24,933 --> 00:11:27,144
But since we did,
and since things came together...
151
00:11:27,227 --> 00:11:30,230
better than we ever imagined...
You'd like me to keep my mouth shut.
152
00:11:30,272 --> 00:11:34,067
It's more of a bonus
for a job well done.
153
00:11:34,151 --> 00:11:37,654
Did this come
directly from Myles?
154
00:11:37,779 --> 00:11:40,657
Well... And me, of course.
Of course.
155
00:11:40,741 --> 00:11:44,328
So we were thinking
10 grand would be nice.
156
00:11:44,411 --> 00:11:46,788
No, thank you.
You want more?
157
00:11:46,872 --> 00:11:49,625
I don't want anything. Be serious.
Everybody wants something.
158
00:11:49,708 --> 00:11:52,294
I am serious.
159
00:11:52,377 --> 00:11:55,464
I said I'd help Myles Cowan
because he's an old and valued friend.
160
00:11:55,547 --> 00:11:59,468
And frankly, Mr. Bloom, I'd rather
have the future governor of Florida...
161
00:11:59,551 --> 00:12:01,887
for me than against me.
162
00:12:03,222 --> 00:12:07,643
Beauty and brains.
I like that in a woman.
163
00:12:07,726 --> 00:12:10,604
On second thought, Mr. Bloom,
164
00:12:10,646 --> 00:12:12,981
there is something
I want from you.
165
00:12:13,065 --> 00:12:14,983
Well, that's what I'm here for.
166
00:12:15,067 --> 00:12:18,820
I want you to leave.
You're quite detestable.
167
00:12:19,988 --> 00:12:22,324
Now you know why I'm so good
at what I do.
168
00:12:37,214 --> 00:12:40,133
I'd really like to find out
how long those legs are.
169
00:12:40,217 --> 00:12:43,303
I doubt you could do anything
about it, Mr. Tiny.
170
00:12:43,345 --> 00:12:46,974
So, you're the romantic type,
are you?
171
00:12:47,057 --> 00:12:49,643
Yeah. I developed my technique
when I was covering cops.
172
00:12:49,685 --> 00:12:52,229
Maybe you and Pierce
should compare notes.
173
00:12:52,312 --> 00:12:54,314
Hey, I don't have to pay for it.
174
00:12:54,356 --> 00:12:57,442
Well, if you can get your mind
out of your crotch, I'd like to know,
175
00:12:57,526 --> 00:13:01,488
how did Pierce
get so far so fast politically?
176
00:13:01,530 --> 00:13:06,743
Well, I am desolate. You haven't read
my stories about the rise of Thomas Pierce.
177
00:13:06,868 --> 00:13:09,329
It's on my list,
right after War and Peace.
178
00:13:09,371 --> 00:13:12,082
- Can we get a beer over here, please?
- Two.
179
00:13:12,165 --> 00:13:15,335
The man single-handedly
brought the party together.
180
00:13:15,377 --> 00:13:17,504
Started out as an errand boy.
181
00:13:17,546 --> 00:13:20,674
You better believe Clark Kimball
and Grover Watkins got their jollies...
182
00:13:20,716 --> 00:13:23,844
having a kid from
Harvard Law fetch their coffee.
183
00:13:23,927 --> 00:13:26,179
Pierce is smart.
184
00:13:26,263 --> 00:13:29,850
He made partner at
Cannon-McCarthy in the speed of light.
185
00:13:29,933 --> 00:13:35,022
And, uh, all the while he was becoming
a political white knight.
186
00:13:35,105 --> 00:13:37,107
He was on the right side
of every issue.
187
00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:39,526
So, why should he play referee...
188
00:13:39,568 --> 00:13:42,696
for husbands and wives who want
to boil each other in oil, huh?
189
00:13:42,738 --> 00:13:46,658
He chucked it all and made
state senate, Congress,
190
00:13:46,742 --> 00:13:49,953
and he would have been governor
if his hormones hadn't overheated.
191
00:13:50,037 --> 00:13:53,248
Is that a regular occurrence?
Hormones?
192
00:13:53,332 --> 00:13:55,250
Comes with the territory,
my friend.
193
00:13:55,334 --> 00:13:57,252
Power's an aphrodisiac.
194
00:13:57,336 --> 00:13:59,963
You take some guy who's been
living like a monk,
195
00:14:00,047 --> 00:14:03,342
plop him in political office, and six months
later he thinks he's Warren Beatty.
196
00:14:05,218 --> 00:14:08,597
Did, uh, Pierce
throw his weight around?
197
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:11,475
Well, not so anyone
would get a rash.
198
00:14:11,558 --> 00:14:14,478
Pretty much a straight shooter.
Politically, anyway.
199
00:14:14,561 --> 00:14:17,606
Ooh, I gotta go.
Press conference waiting for me.
200
00:14:21,401 --> 00:14:23,653
Why don't you kill an hour,
tag along?
201
00:14:23,737 --> 00:14:28,075
Rare opportunity to see the
implosion of a political supernova.
202
00:14:29,701 --> 00:14:34,039
An hour from now,
Thomas Pierce will be a black hole.
203
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,958
Yeah.
204
00:14:38,001 --> 00:14:40,337
So, with that in mind,
205
00:14:40,420 --> 00:14:45,384
knowing full well that there is so much
to be done that I cannot allow myself...
206
00:14:45,467 --> 00:14:49,221
to be sidetracked by small minds
who wish to derail this campaign,
207
00:14:49,304 --> 00:14:53,266
I will continue to be your candidate
for governor of this great state.
208
00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:55,310
Yeah!
Thank you.
209
00:14:55,352 --> 00:14:58,355
Thank you.
210
00:15:25,048 --> 00:15:28,427
I still have friends
in the police department.
211
00:15:28,468 --> 00:15:31,179
I've heard all about
you two birds.
212
00:15:32,347 --> 00:15:35,308
Sure I can't offer you
some coffee?
213
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:38,145
It's the official
Grover Watkins recipe.
214
00:15:38,228 --> 00:15:40,981
It's a little early
in the morning for coffee for us.
215
00:15:41,022 --> 00:15:43,900
You better hang on
to that family recipe.
216
00:15:44,025 --> 00:15:46,069
Cheers.
217
00:15:46,153 --> 00:15:48,905
Cheers.
218
00:15:51,450 --> 00:15:54,244
So...
219
00:15:54,327 --> 00:15:58,874
I guess y'all want to know
about Tom Pierce, huh?
220
00:15:58,915 --> 00:16:01,751
My boy Tommy.
221
00:16:01,835 --> 00:16:04,212
Really stepped in it this time,
didn't he?
222
00:16:04,296 --> 00:16:06,339
With both feet.
223
00:16:08,008 --> 00:16:10,719
I was his rabbi.
224
00:16:10,802 --> 00:16:14,931
Introduced him to the briars
and the brambles of the political hurly-burly.
225
00:16:15,056 --> 00:16:17,476
Looks like he was a fast learner.
226
00:16:17,517 --> 00:16:21,104
First met him,
he didn't know the difference...
227
00:16:21,188 --> 00:16:24,566
between a plain brown envelope
and a bag of groceries.
228
00:16:24,649 --> 00:16:29,696
Three years later,
he ran my last campaign for me.
229
00:16:29,779 --> 00:16:32,199
I didn't know it was my last...
230
00:16:32,282 --> 00:16:35,827
until I found out Tommy had made off
with all my staff.
231
00:16:35,869 --> 00:16:39,289
That booger Pearl Harbored me.
232
00:16:39,372 --> 00:16:42,042
Cause some bad blood
between you two?
233
00:16:42,125 --> 00:16:44,419
What are you gonna do
with a fast learner?
234
00:16:44,503 --> 00:16:47,088
He was just following through
on what I'd taught him.
235
00:16:47,172 --> 00:16:49,090
You should've taught him
to keep his zipper up.
236
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,055
Try and understand something,
both of you.
237
00:16:55,138 --> 00:16:58,391
Tom Pierce is out on the edge.
238
00:16:58,475 --> 00:17:00,393
He likes it there.
239
00:17:02,437 --> 00:17:05,106
Maybe he's lost his balance.
240
00:17:06,733 --> 00:17:09,236
Tommy...
241
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:12,948
lost his balance
a long time ago.
242
00:17:14,491 --> 00:17:18,161
Look up
some of his campaign contributors.
243
00:17:19,496 --> 00:17:23,667
Sometimes I think the man
will take money from the devil himself.
244
00:17:24,793 --> 00:17:28,588
Funny thing is, I can't figure out
where it's all goin'.
245
00:17:28,672 --> 00:17:31,258
He's taking in way more
than he's spendin'.
246
00:17:38,014 --> 00:17:41,518
This is the way it works, isn't it?
He gets you, you get him.
247
00:17:41,601 --> 00:17:45,105
Pretty fast learner yourself,
Crockett.
248
00:17:50,819 --> 00:17:52,737
You were right on.
249
00:17:52,821 --> 00:17:55,740
Pierce is pulling in money from
half a dozen dummy corporations.
250
00:17:55,824 --> 00:17:57,742
You recognize any of the names?
251
00:17:57,826 --> 00:18:00,453
We could trace them, but |
bet they'd lead to a dead end.
252
00:18:00,537 --> 00:18:04,165
Isn't the fact that he's receiving
from fronts somewhat incriminating?
253
00:18:04,249 --> 00:18:08,044
Yeah, it may not look entirely
kosher, but it's certainly not illegal.
254
00:18:08,169 --> 00:18:10,046
If it's not illegal,
I'm not interested.
255
00:18:10,171 --> 00:18:12,424
Lieutenant,
we got some new leads.
256
00:18:12,507 --> 00:18:14,759
Pierce looks dirty
way beyond the bust.
257
00:18:14,843 --> 00:18:17,137
He might be receiving
illegal campaign funding.
258
00:18:17,220 --> 00:18:19,139
That's difficult to prove.
259
00:18:19,222 --> 00:18:22,767
Well, I think we should talk to
the man himself. It's worth a shot.
260
00:18:22,851 --> 00:18:25,312
Take the day.
See what you come up with.
261
00:18:27,230 --> 00:18:30,317
Thomas Pierce is going to survive.
262
00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:34,988
That disappoint you?
You've lost me.
263
00:18:35,071 --> 00:18:37,073
Cut the crap, Mr. Bloom.
264
00:18:37,198 --> 00:18:40,952
I want your resignation. And I don't want
my husband knowing why you're leaving.
265
00:18:40,994 --> 00:18:44,205
He has enough problems without
becoming paranoid about his staff.
266
00:18:44,289 --> 00:18:46,750
You're dropping a stitch.
He needs what I can do.
267
00:18:46,833 --> 00:18:50,337
Try to understand something,
Mr. Bloom.
268
00:18:50,420 --> 00:18:53,006
My husband and I want this
very badly.
269
00:18:53,089 --> 00:18:58,845
There are even times when I think I covet being
first lady more than he covets the governorship.
270
00:18:58,887 --> 00:19:01,806
- You've always been right there behind him.
- That's right.
271
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:07,479
And that's why you're history.
272
00:19:18,490 --> 00:19:22,702
- Hold it. Where do you think you're going?
- I've got a couple of questions I'd like to ask Mr. Pierce.
273
00:19:22,786 --> 00:19:27,207
Yeah, well, he's on stage in under an hour, so you just
make an appointment, and we'll get back to you, okay?
274
00:19:27,290 --> 00:19:31,211
Not this time, Macklin.
Every time, Frasier. It's policy.
275
00:19:31,294 --> 00:19:34,714
I don't think the cops are gonna be too
happy about taking a number and waiting.
276
00:19:34,798 --> 00:19:36,883
And what's that supposed to mean?
277
00:19:36,966 --> 00:19:39,761
It means I'm here
to pitch Pierce batting practice...
278
00:19:39,844 --> 00:19:42,138
so he'll be ready
for the boys with the badges.
279
00:19:44,015 --> 00:19:46,101
You wait here.
280
00:19:48,144 --> 00:19:50,772
Hello, Tom.
281
00:19:50,855 --> 00:19:53,066
Give me five minutes, Dave.
282
00:19:53,149 --> 00:19:55,151
Excuse us, will you, please?
283
00:20:04,369 --> 00:20:06,788
- Here he comes.
- All right. He's out.
284
00:20:06,871 --> 00:20:09,791
He's out.
285
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,878
Everything all right?
286
00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:17,966
Hey, what do we have to do,
file harassment charges?
287
00:20:18,049 --> 00:20:20,427
We'd like to speak to you in
private, Congressman. No, no, no.
288
00:20:20,510 --> 00:20:24,764
He has got a speech to give in 15... It's all right,
Dave. It's all right. Look, this won't take long.
289
00:20:24,848 --> 00:20:27,600
Stick around. Be glad to talk
to you when I'm finished.
290
00:20:27,684 --> 00:20:31,688
- That'd be fine, sir. Thank you.
- Excuse me.
291
00:20:35,775 --> 00:20:38,319
These are unsettling times...
292
00:20:38,403 --> 00:20:40,780
for those of us in public service.
293
00:20:40,822 --> 00:20:45,785
We find ourselves being subjected to the
kind of microscopic personal scrutiny...
294
00:20:45,827 --> 00:20:48,621
that only saints or children
could withstand.
295
00:20:49,748 --> 00:20:52,751
No longer are we judged
by our performance in office...
296
00:20:52,834 --> 00:20:56,129
or on our positions
on the important issues of the day.
297
00:20:56,171 --> 00:20:58,631
Rather, our private lives
are invaded,
298
00:20:58,673 --> 00:21:01,760
and incidents that are
nobody else's business,
299
00:21:01,801 --> 00:21:05,138
incidents that have absolutely
no bearing on our public duty...
300
00:21:05,180 --> 00:21:07,348
become swords on which
to impale us.
301
00:21:08,975 --> 00:21:11,478
The press dogs us all the way
into our bedroom.
302
00:21:11,561 --> 00:21:14,522
And while the police
continue to worry...
303
00:21:14,564 --> 00:21:17,734
about these essentially
victimless crimes,
304
00:21:17,817 --> 00:21:22,822
real criminals of every stripe, from drug dealers
to corporate executives, operate unchecked.
305
00:21:22,906 --> 00:21:26,701
Maybe all of this sounds like the
whining of someone who has been caught...
306
00:21:26,743 --> 00:21:28,912
and sees no way out.
307
00:21:28,995 --> 00:21:31,206
But I do not beg your forgiveness.
308
00:21:31,289 --> 00:21:35,460
If you're going to grant me that, it will have
to come out of the goodness of your hearts.
309
00:21:38,213 --> 00:21:42,258
What I do ask, however,
is that you appreciate...
310
00:21:42,383 --> 00:21:45,637
the impossible nature
of political life today,
311
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:51,392
and that you understand
why I am walking away from it.
312
00:21:57,565 --> 00:22:00,151
I'm sorry to say that recent developments
have forced me...
313
00:22:00,235 --> 00:22:05,406
to reconsider my earlier pledge
to stand and fight.
314
00:22:05,448 --> 00:22:09,619
The press and the police won't have
Tom Pierce to kick around anymore.
315
00:22:13,540 --> 00:22:17,669
To my friends and supporters,
I say thank you...
316
00:22:17,752 --> 00:22:20,004
and good-bye.
317
00:22:20,088 --> 00:22:23,007
To all the rest,
318
00:22:23,091 --> 00:22:25,009
I say good riddance.
319
00:22:34,102 --> 00:22:37,272
Did you know that he was gonna
pull the plug? He didn't say a word.
320
00:22:37,313 --> 00:22:40,859
Sonny, we better
grab this guy quick.
321
00:23:01,462 --> 00:23:03,882
I don't believe it.
322
00:23:05,049 --> 00:23:07,594
Isn't that just like
a politician?
323
00:23:07,677 --> 00:23:09,596
What do you mean?
324
00:23:09,679 --> 00:23:11,890
Never around
when you need 'em the most.
325
00:23:20,023 --> 00:23:24,527
Why is it that the department is always
trying to protect its backside by hanging us?
326
00:23:24,611 --> 00:23:30,491
Detectives, Thomas Pierce is one of
the most recognizable men in the state,
327
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:33,202
and he has
completely disappeared.
328
00:23:33,286 --> 00:23:35,872
Plus, the rumor mills
are heating up...
329
00:23:35,955 --> 00:23:39,292
with regard to the train bust
being a setup.
330
00:23:40,627 --> 00:23:44,172
Maybe my partner and I are
trying to overthrow the government.
331
00:23:44,213 --> 00:23:47,926
Was the bust a setup?
332
00:23:48,009 --> 00:23:53,514
Every law enforcement agency in the state
has known about that train for over a year.
333
00:23:53,598 --> 00:23:58,394
And you just happen to bust it on the
night that Thomas Pierce was on board?
334
00:23:59,938 --> 00:24:03,191
Luck of the draw.
And now Pierce has vanished...
335
00:24:03,232 --> 00:24:06,694
just before he was going
to talk to you two.
336
00:24:06,778 --> 00:24:10,365
You wanna get to the point
there, Millsie?
337
00:24:10,448 --> 00:24:13,368
The point is that it's not going
to be very difficult...
338
00:24:13,409 --> 00:24:16,871
for the Pierce people
to start screaming harassment.
339
00:24:16,955 --> 00:24:20,375
- And some of the press has already picked up the ball.
- Does the department think...
340
00:24:20,416 --> 00:24:24,420
that we actually stepped outside
the confines of our jobs?
341
00:24:24,504 --> 00:24:26,965
Well, that hasn't yet
been determined.
342
00:24:29,258 --> 00:24:32,011
Yeah, you be sure to let us know
when it is.
343
00:24:32,095 --> 00:24:34,764
You can bet on it, smart guy.
344
00:24:38,476 --> 00:24:40,436
So much for the civic lesson.
345
00:24:40,478 --> 00:24:43,272
If they were gonna suspend you,
it would already have been a fact.
346
00:24:43,356 --> 00:24:46,359
I think the I.A.D. got a permanent
poker with our names stenciled on it.
347
00:24:46,442 --> 00:24:50,113
Don't worry about I.A.D. you two have
enough business to take care of now.
348
00:24:50,196 --> 00:24:54,242
What's the line that Switek's got on
that, uh, prankster... the merry prankster?
349
00:24:54,283 --> 00:24:57,412
Bloom. Yeah, let's see if we
can get him to do cartwheels.
350
00:25:06,254 --> 00:25:08,673
Very efficient, Mr. Frasier.
351
00:25:08,756 --> 00:25:10,675
I owe it all to newspaper training.
352
00:25:10,758 --> 00:25:13,261
I may have more use
for the press than I ever imagined.
353
00:25:13,344 --> 00:25:16,681
Yeah, I know the feeling. I'm getting a
little soft in the head about politicians.
354
00:25:16,764 --> 00:25:18,766
I'd like you to stay that way.
355
00:25:18,850 --> 00:25:22,103
Not that I mind you crucifying
one of my rivals.
356
00:25:24,439 --> 00:25:27,692
Ten thousand dollars in cash,
as discussed.
357
00:25:27,775 --> 00:25:31,529
I'll skip the count. I mean, if
you can't trust the next governor...
358
00:25:31,612 --> 00:25:34,490
You have my word.
359
00:25:34,574 --> 00:25:36,534
My final word.
360
00:25:36,617 --> 00:25:38,578
Uh...
361
00:25:38,661 --> 00:25:41,122
This is just for the primary, right?
362
00:25:42,290 --> 00:25:44,208
There's still the regular election.
363
00:25:44,292 --> 00:25:46,753
I thought you were
the political expert, Mr. Frasier.
364
00:25:46,836 --> 00:25:49,756
If I remember correctly, you wrote
that whoever won the populist primary...
365
00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:51,758
would be a shoo-in for governor.
366
00:25:51,841 --> 00:25:55,178
Well, here I am...
a survivor and a shoo-in.
367
00:25:55,219 --> 00:25:57,847
Things could change.
Like what?
368
00:25:57,889 --> 00:26:01,851
Well, the kind of things that could be
prevented by having a reporter on your payroll.
369
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,858
If I didn't have my newfound respect
for the fourth estate,
370
00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:12,737
I'd say that you were
hinting at blackmail, Mr. Frasier.
371
00:26:12,820 --> 00:26:17,492
It was good enough for Pierce. But
the reporter I've had on my payroll...
372
00:26:17,533 --> 00:26:20,870
is much too fair-minded
to even consider...
373
00:26:20,912 --> 00:26:23,581
blackmailing somebody
who's been his benefactor.
374
00:26:23,664 --> 00:26:27,001
You never can tell.
375
00:26:27,085 --> 00:26:31,047
It's difficult to know someone...
I mean, really know him.
376
00:26:32,882 --> 00:26:36,552
It wasn't hard to get
Pierce out to the train.
377
00:26:36,594 --> 00:26:39,889
All I had to do was tell him
he could get his ashes hauled.
378
00:26:39,931 --> 00:26:41,891
Yeah, it makes sense.
379
00:26:41,933 --> 00:26:46,145
If his load was lighter, make it
easier for him to run for governor.
380
00:26:46,229 --> 00:26:50,817
Well, you've got to know Tom. He wants to
make sure he samples everything on the menu.
381
00:26:50,900 --> 00:26:53,319
Who's he sampling now?
382
00:26:53,402 --> 00:26:56,489
I don't know. I didn't
think he'd fall off the planet.
383
00:26:56,572 --> 00:26:58,491
How much did Cowan pay you?
384
00:27:01,619 --> 00:27:03,579
You guys are good.
385
00:27:05,123 --> 00:27:09,043
Don't flatter yourself.
You ain't a well-kept secret, pal.
386
00:27:09,127 --> 00:27:13,131
We know you were kicked off
of Pierce's staff before he walked.
387
00:27:13,214 --> 00:27:16,342
So? You get caught, you leave.
It's part of the game.
388
00:27:16,425 --> 00:27:18,845
Advertise rallies that don't exist.
Distribute embarrassing pictures.
389
00:27:18,928 --> 00:27:22,181
Hell, Tom would have done the same
to Cowan if he had gotten to me first.
390
00:27:22,265 --> 00:27:24,183
That's wonderful.
391
00:27:24,267 --> 00:27:28,354
Such outstanding candidates we
have for the voters to choose from.
392
00:27:28,437 --> 00:27:31,023
How'd you know
about the bust?
393
00:27:31,107 --> 00:27:35,027
A leak at the courthouse. I probably knew the
warrant had been signed before you guys did.
394
00:27:35,111 --> 00:27:38,781
Ah, for the love of...
Who else is in this sewer?
395
00:27:38,865 --> 00:27:42,160
How about I go out
with some dignity, huh?
396
00:27:42,243 --> 00:27:45,454
Don't ask me to drag other people
down with me.
397
00:27:45,538 --> 00:27:48,624
If this gets to the press,
you all are gonna be garbage.
398
00:27:48,708 --> 00:27:51,043
You tell that to your buddy Cowan.
399
00:27:52,879 --> 00:27:55,631
Maybe we oughta try
life without a governor.
400
00:27:55,715 --> 00:27:58,217
Couldn't be any worse.
401
00:28:00,428 --> 00:28:02,597
The nerve of this bozo, huh?
402
00:28:02,638 --> 00:28:05,933
Cowan? Who the hell
you think I'm talking about?
403
00:28:06,017 --> 00:28:08,769
You're not talking.
You're blathering.
404
00:28:08,853 --> 00:28:12,148
Blather? Well, try this one
on for size, sweetheart.
405
00:28:12,231 --> 00:28:15,151
Way I figure it,
you got plenty on Cowan.
406
00:28:15,234 --> 00:28:17,236
You'll never know.
407
00:28:19,572 --> 00:28:23,910
Look!
Neither of us are virgins, right?
408
00:28:24,952 --> 00:28:27,663
You have any idea how much
your trick book is worth?
409
00:28:27,747 --> 00:28:29,665
I don't ask them their names.
410
00:28:29,749 --> 00:28:33,211
Like hell you don't. If they
want to tell me, then that's fine.
411
00:28:33,252 --> 00:28:37,340
But I'm in the business to sooth
nerves, not to put them on edge.
412
00:28:37,423 --> 00:28:40,343
Well, now, how about
I splash you all over page one?
413
00:28:40,426 --> 00:28:42,929
I think this conversation
just ended.
414
00:28:44,889 --> 00:28:46,849
I will tell you when it's ended.
415
00:28:46,891 --> 00:28:48,851
You don't know the value
of anything, do you?
416
00:28:48,893 --> 00:28:51,646
Not a bottle of perfume. Not
even a man's life. Shut up!
417
00:28:51,687 --> 00:28:54,482
Is this how you won
all those journalism awards?
418
00:28:54,523 --> 00:28:57,735
Blackmail? Well, let me
tell you something, mister.
419
00:28:57,818 --> 00:29:02,490
Everybody knows what I am. But
you... They think you're a star reporter.
420
00:29:02,531 --> 00:29:05,868
But we know that you're really
just scum, don't we?
421
00:29:09,830 --> 00:29:15,253
The phones, as always in the headquarters of
a political campaign, are ringing off the hook.
422
00:29:15,336 --> 00:29:18,673
Volunteers address envelopes.
Aids plan strategy.
423
00:29:18,714 --> 00:29:23,177
But here at 1400 Ocean Avenue, the feeling
persists that these campaign workers...
424
00:29:23,261 --> 00:29:25,179
are only going through the motions.
425
00:29:25,263 --> 00:29:27,807
They count the hours
till Election Day,
426
00:29:27,890 --> 00:29:31,185
and each hour brings them closer
to a confrontation with the unthinkable.
427
00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:33,187
Well, maybe they should
try a séance.
428
00:29:33,271 --> 00:29:35,189
That'd be a good story.
429
00:29:35,273 --> 00:29:38,192
"Pierce speaks from grave,
told split the ticket."
430
00:29:38,276 --> 00:29:41,028
There are
more questions than answers.
431
00:29:41,112 --> 00:29:43,739
Is he being held against his will?
432
00:29:43,781 --> 00:29:47,868
Is he still alive? And if
not, did he take his own life?
433
00:29:47,952 --> 00:29:50,830
Conspiracy theorists
are having a field day.
434
00:29:50,913 --> 00:29:55,918
Live from the Pierce campaign
headquarters, David Jarvis, Channel 3 news.
435
00:29:57,461 --> 00:30:01,716
Our friends at .A.D.
Have their own conspiracy theory.
436
00:30:01,757 --> 00:30:04,802
They're not still maintaining
that we overstepped?
437
00:30:07,388 --> 00:30:10,141
- They haven't yet said you haven't.
- Great.
438
00:30:10,224 --> 00:30:14,812
Now everybody's playing politics.
Nothing's changed.
439
00:30:14,895 --> 00:30:17,690
Oh, man. Oh, boy. So
what's next, Lieutenant?
440
00:30:19,483 --> 00:30:22,528
Has anyone spoken
to Pierce's wife?
441
00:30:22,611 --> 00:30:27,783
The steadfast politician's spouse?
Yeah.
442
00:30:27,825 --> 00:30:32,413
Bet she could probably tell a tale or
two about hubby, make our heads spin.
443
00:30:32,496 --> 00:30:34,415
We'll give it a shot.
444
00:30:34,498 --> 00:30:36,459
Behind every great man...
445
00:30:43,382 --> 00:30:46,886
This be easier if we talked
about this some place else?
446
00:30:46,969 --> 00:30:52,266
If I got out of this chair, my reputation as
the unflappable Mrs. Pierce would fall apart.
447
00:30:52,350 --> 00:30:54,935
We're very sorry to have
to do this. Uh...
448
00:30:55,019 --> 00:30:58,939
Don't be.
449
00:30:59,023 --> 00:31:03,694
Living without my husband
will be easier... eventually.
450
00:31:05,821 --> 00:31:09,158
Do you have any indication
that you won't see him again?
451
00:31:09,241 --> 00:31:12,828
Are you asking me
if my husband took his own life?
452
00:31:12,953 --> 00:31:15,706
Well, there's been
some speculation.
453
00:31:15,748 --> 00:31:17,958
Not his style.
454
00:31:20,044 --> 00:31:24,340
He loved being Tom Pierce
more than anything in the world.
455
00:31:24,423 --> 00:31:26,717
So you think he ran away?
456
00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:29,553
Vanity breeds cowardice,
can't it?
457
00:31:29,637 --> 00:31:32,348
- You tell us.
- Boy.
458
00:31:32,431 --> 00:31:37,728
I never saw it demonstrated
up close until this past week.
459
00:31:37,770 --> 00:31:41,649
All of a sudden, things just started happening
so fast, even Tom couldn't handle it.
460
00:31:41,732 --> 00:31:44,610
- You mean the arrest?
- It's not just that.
461
00:31:44,652 --> 00:31:46,737
There were other things...
462
00:31:46,821 --> 00:31:50,783
pressures that he wouldn't
talk to me about.
463
00:31:53,577 --> 00:31:56,872
He was afraid.
464
00:31:56,956 --> 00:32:01,127
- Of what?
- He wouldn't say.
465
00:32:01,168 --> 00:32:05,005
I've been married to Tom Pierce
for eight years. I could tell.
466
00:32:06,841 --> 00:32:08,884
Has he ever disappeared before?
467
00:32:10,177 --> 00:32:12,805
You mean for more
than a weekend?
468
00:32:12,888 --> 00:32:15,433
No.
469
00:32:15,516 --> 00:32:19,562
Does he have anybody that he
confides in? Politically, I mean.
470
00:32:19,645 --> 00:32:21,564
I don't know
who he tells what.
471
00:32:21,647 --> 00:32:25,317
All I know is that he came out of an
interview the day that he disappeared,
472
00:32:25,359 --> 00:32:27,319
and he looked like
his world had ended.
473
00:32:27,361 --> 00:32:29,447
An interview?
Uh-huh.
474
00:32:29,488 --> 00:32:32,074
With who?
475
00:32:32,158 --> 00:32:35,119
That awful man...
What's his name?
476
00:32:35,202 --> 00:32:37,371
He's been pestering
Tom and me for years.
477
00:32:37,455 --> 00:32:39,457
He writes for the, uh, Record.
478
00:32:39,498 --> 00:32:42,626
- Hank Frasier?
- Oh, that's the one.
479
00:32:46,881 --> 00:32:49,341
Thanks.
Thank you.
480
00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:45,940
Well, it looks like your standard
garden-variety strangulation.
481
00:33:46,023 --> 00:33:48,108
No sign of anything sexual.
482
00:33:48,192 --> 00:33:51,820
Place was ransacked, so it's hard
to tell if anything was taken.
483
00:33:53,697 --> 00:33:56,325
Whoever killed her
just walked right in.
484
00:33:56,408 --> 00:33:58,869
Do you think
it was a friend,
485
00:33:58,953 --> 00:34:02,498
or maybe
a business partner?
486
00:34:02,581 --> 00:34:05,167
Angelica Payson worked alone.
487
00:34:05,251 --> 00:34:09,421
Lieutenant, the neighbors said they saw someone
fitting Bloom's description leaving this house.
488
00:34:09,505 --> 00:34:12,174
That campaign-killer? Yeah,
and he was really in a lather.
489
00:34:12,258 --> 00:34:14,510
Or that's how the lady
remembered him.
490
00:34:14,593 --> 00:34:16,512
Excuse me.
491
00:34:16,595 --> 00:34:18,931
Castillo. Yeah.
492
00:34:20,933 --> 00:34:24,603
Thank you. Barry Bloom's
been arrested. I'm going in.
493
00:34:26,855 --> 00:34:29,692
She was just somebody
we were using... another tool.
494
00:34:29,775 --> 00:34:34,822
All I wanted to do was warn her, tell
her things might get uncomfortable.
495
00:34:34,863 --> 00:34:36,824
We don't believe
that you killed her.
496
00:34:36,865 --> 00:34:38,867
Maybe you should be
a character witness.
497
00:34:38,951 --> 00:34:40,869
If it goes that far,
he might need one.
498
00:34:40,953 --> 00:34:43,205
Just shut up, will you, Joel?
I've got to trust somebody,
499
00:34:43,289 --> 00:34:47,167
and there's definitely no politician
that meets my requirements.
500
00:34:47,251 --> 00:34:50,045
Now, uh...
501
00:34:51,547 --> 00:34:55,509
There was Cowan's dirty-tricks team.
And who else was in on it?
502
00:34:55,593 --> 00:34:59,263
I'm still not selling anybody out.
503
00:34:59,346 --> 00:35:03,225
You tried to protect Angelica
Payson. Look how she wound up.
504
00:35:04,393 --> 00:35:07,062
The stakes are a lot bigger
now, Barry.
505
00:35:10,441 --> 00:35:14,361
I wasn't the only one that
infiltrated the Pierce campaign.
506
00:35:14,445 --> 00:35:18,198
There were at least three others
at lower-profile jobs.
507
00:35:18,282 --> 00:35:20,868
We need names.
508
00:35:20,909 --> 00:35:25,414
I'm not even sure who they were.
Anonymity was our camouflage.
509
00:35:25,497 --> 00:35:29,293
Damn it, Bloom.
This is getting us nowhere.
510
00:35:29,376 --> 00:35:32,254
I don't think we'll answer any
more questions at this time.
511
00:35:32,296 --> 00:35:35,424
- Fine.
- No. I said this was what I wanted.
512
00:35:37,426 --> 00:35:40,262
Our network went beyond
the campaign.
513
00:35:40,304 --> 00:35:43,390
There were people outside
who could help us.
514
00:35:43,474 --> 00:35:46,185
Who?
515
00:35:47,895 --> 00:35:50,689
A newspaper reporter
named Frasier.
516
00:35:50,773 --> 00:35:53,275
Hank Frasier?
Yeah.
517
00:35:53,359 --> 00:35:56,737
What did he do?
Fed us dirt on Pierce.
518
00:35:58,405 --> 00:36:00,324
What kind of dirt?
519
00:36:00,407 --> 00:36:03,494
The sexual stuff, of course,
520
00:36:03,577 --> 00:36:06,330
plus things about where
he was getting his money.
521
00:36:06,413 --> 00:36:09,833
He had a lot of shady contributors,
and Frasier seemed to know them all.
522
00:36:09,917 --> 00:36:12,378
Was he blackmailing Pierce?
523
00:36:12,461 --> 00:36:15,214
Possibly.
524
00:36:15,297 --> 00:36:19,468
Say he was.
What was he blackmailing him for?
525
00:36:19,551 --> 00:36:22,888
Or was he just a wrong number?
Debts.
526
00:36:22,971 --> 00:36:27,017
He had gambling debts, and whoever
he owed money was leaning on him...
527
00:36:27,101 --> 00:36:29,436
as hard as he was leaning
on Pierce.
528
00:36:41,949 --> 00:36:44,535
I wish I could tell you
I'm surprised.
529
00:36:44,618 --> 00:36:46,578
You've had this problem
with him before?
530
00:36:46,662 --> 00:36:48,622
Well, when he was working,
he was fine.
531
00:36:48,706 --> 00:36:53,335
He's working now, as a matter of fact. He's in
Atlanta with the Democratic National Committee.
532
00:36:53,377 --> 00:36:56,255
He says he's got a king hell of a story
about a power struggle.
533
00:36:56,338 --> 00:36:58,298
What happens
when his writing's finished?
534
00:36:58,382 --> 00:37:01,218
Let me put it this way.
I have a 19-year-old daughter,
535
00:37:01,301 --> 00:37:05,389
and if I saw Hank coming up the path
on a Saturday night,
536
00:37:05,472 --> 00:37:07,850
I'd pray to God
he was a process server.
537
00:37:07,891 --> 00:37:10,185
So women aren't his only problem?
538
00:37:10,227 --> 00:37:13,063
No. There's also gambling.
I'd put gambling in first place.
539
00:37:13,147 --> 00:37:15,107
How's his luck?
Lousy.
540
00:37:15,190 --> 00:37:16,942
Does it affect his work?
541
00:37:17,025 --> 00:37:20,237
It only affects the accounting
department. I mean, he has to, uh,
542
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,698
draw advances on his salary.
543
00:37:22,740 --> 00:37:25,534
- Do the advances cover?
- I doubt it.
544
00:37:25,576 --> 00:37:31,039
So, if we told you
that we think he might have, uh,
545
00:37:31,081 --> 00:37:34,251
blackmailed Pierce,
that wouldn't surprised you?
546
00:37:34,334 --> 00:37:36,086
Yeah, it would.
547
00:37:37,921 --> 00:37:40,507
Mr. Chance,
548
00:37:40,591 --> 00:37:44,636
every good newspaper reporter
knows things about powerful people...
549
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:48,098
- that could be used for blackmail.
- But they don't use it.
550
00:37:48,182 --> 00:37:53,187
Frasier's the first person I know who might
have done it, and that hasn't been confirmed.
551
00:37:53,228 --> 00:37:56,398
And you don't believe
in the law of averages?
552
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,692
Newspaper people are like cops.
553
00:37:58,776 --> 00:38:02,488
When they raise their right hand
and take one step forward, it's like a...
554
00:38:02,571 --> 00:38:04,656
a vow of poverty.
555
00:38:04,740 --> 00:38:07,493
But they do it anyway
because they love their work,
556
00:38:07,576 --> 00:38:12,289
and there's a small little voice inside of them
telling them they're doing the right thing.
557
00:38:12,372 --> 00:38:15,751
Yeah. Sorry I asked.
558
00:38:21,256 --> 00:38:23,884
What do you think Frasier's
little voice says to him?
559
00:38:23,967 --> 00:38:26,553
Whirlaway in the eighth?
560
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,600
Crockett.
561
00:38:33,811 --> 00:38:36,230
Yeah, Stanley.
Do it right now.
562
00:38:36,271 --> 00:38:38,899
He's patching through
a call from Frasier.
563
00:38:38,982 --> 00:38:40,984
Where are you?
564
00:38:41,068 --> 00:38:43,487
Chez Frasier.
Where else?
565
00:38:43,529 --> 00:38:46,240
Yeah, well, stay put.
You're gonna have company.
566
00:38:46,281 --> 00:38:48,826
Yeah, well, you better hurry.
567
00:38:48,909 --> 00:38:50,994
Now don't do anything crazy.
568
00:38:51,078 --> 00:38:53,997
Look. Save your advice
for someone who needs it.
569
00:38:54,039 --> 00:38:56,500
I'm not sticking my head
in the oven.
570
00:38:56,583 --> 00:38:59,628
But there are a couple of guys
that might do it for me.
571
00:38:59,711 --> 00:39:01,588
Are we talking bookie muscle?
572
00:39:01,672 --> 00:39:06,176
Oh, you heard, huh?
You know how much I owe?
573
00:39:06,260 --> 00:39:09,721
I'm listening.
75 large.
574
00:39:09,763 --> 00:39:12,766
Seventy-five I don't have.
575
00:39:12,850 --> 00:39:15,519
So they're coming over here to
give me that much in medical bills.
576
00:39:15,602 --> 00:39:18,188
Well, maybe you deserve
to suffer.
577
00:39:18,272 --> 00:39:21,358
Well, you're not coming
to save me.
578
00:39:21,441 --> 00:39:23,861
Uh, uh, forget it.
579
00:39:23,944 --> 00:39:25,988
I don't have time
to trade cheap shots.
580
00:39:26,071 --> 00:39:30,033
I just wanna make sure you get
my story straight. I'm still listening.
581
00:39:30,117 --> 00:39:33,203
Okay.
582
00:39:33,287 --> 00:39:35,289
Uh...
583
00:39:37,124 --> 00:39:39,459
Uh, first things first, okay?
584
00:39:41,461 --> 00:39:46,884
I killed Angelica Payson.
585
00:39:46,967 --> 00:39:51,013
I lost control. I... I needed what
she had. She wouldn't help me.
586
00:39:51,054 --> 00:39:53,307
What did you get?
587
00:39:53,348 --> 00:39:56,351
Names, Crockett.
I needed big names.
588
00:39:56,435 --> 00:39:58,353
For what? For Cowan?
589
00:39:58,437 --> 00:40:02,065
Cowan? Cowan was one of
the ones I was trying to blackmail.
590
00:40:02,149 --> 00:40:05,402
- No, for me.
- What did you use against him?
591
00:40:05,485 --> 00:40:08,071
He's been getting money
from some of the same slugs as Pierce.
592
00:40:08,155 --> 00:40:11,241
And you were blackmailing Pierce?
Yeah, you bet I was.
593
00:40:11,325 --> 00:40:14,745
Then the doofus decided
a vanishing act was more appealing.
594
00:40:14,786 --> 00:40:18,832
Oh. Think you lost the race, Crockett.
595
00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:23,545
You're gonna have to excuse me.
The bad guys are here.
596
00:40:23,629 --> 00:40:26,381
All right, Frasier, listen.
You got a gun?
597
00:40:26,465 --> 00:40:28,842
Nah. I'm a pacifist at heart.
598
00:40:32,638 --> 00:40:37,559
Uh... Just a minute. I'm on the
phone with my money man, okay?
599
00:40:37,643 --> 00:40:39,603
Uh...
Frasier?
600
00:40:39,645 --> 00:40:41,772
Frasier!
601
00:40:44,858 --> 00:40:46,777
What happened?
602
00:40:56,244 --> 00:40:58,163
Go.
603
00:41:32,030 --> 00:41:34,032
Is he dead?
604
00:41:35,993 --> 00:41:38,996
Yeah.
And so is the case.
605
00:41:44,710 --> 00:41:47,129
Sure.
606
00:41:49,965 --> 00:41:53,135
Hey, Sonny, have you seen
the morning edition?
607
00:41:55,303 --> 00:42:01,226
"Pierce to announce that he will
resume his candidacy 'with a vengeance'.”
608
00:42:01,309 --> 00:42:04,896
Down but not out.
They never are for long.
609
00:42:04,980 --> 00:42:07,899
Metro says they got
the bookie muscle that killed Frasier.
610
00:42:07,983 --> 00:42:10,068
Sounds very solid.
Prints and fibers match.
611
00:42:10,152 --> 00:42:12,070
About time something
broke on this.
612
00:42:12,154 --> 00:42:14,906
Pierce's people just called.
He says he owes you two guys a talk.
613
00:42:14,990 --> 00:42:17,951
He'll be more than happy
to comply.
614
00:42:18,035 --> 00:42:19,953
After three weeks?
615
00:42:20,037 --> 00:42:22,289
What is this,
unfinished business day?
616
00:42:22,372 --> 00:42:26,043
Sounds like they're trying to cover
any toeholds in the character issue.
617
00:42:26,126 --> 00:42:29,588
Don't you mean, uh, "Bless me,
Detective, for I have sinned,
618
00:42:29,671 --> 00:42:31,590
and I need a clean press release"?
619
00:42:31,673 --> 00:42:33,592
You got it.
620
00:42:33,675 --> 00:42:37,554
Well, I say we go see this gentleman
before he changes his mind again.
621
00:42:37,637 --> 00:42:39,973
Yeah, or becomes invisible.
622
00:42:47,939 --> 00:42:51,234
So what do you think?
623
00:42:51,276 --> 00:42:53,528
All these people here
to see the freak show?
624
00:42:53,612 --> 00:42:56,073
No way. These people
are the true believers.
625
00:43:04,998 --> 00:43:08,710
Nice to have believers
with checkbooks. Yeah.
626
00:43:11,171 --> 00:43:13,215
Slumming, fellas?
627
00:43:13,298 --> 00:43:16,259
Yeah. How about you,
Ms. Sarelli?
628
00:43:18,303 --> 00:43:22,265
Tom Pierce is the party's best candidate.
I'd like to help him.
629
00:43:22,349 --> 00:43:25,560
You already have, haven't you?
630
00:43:25,644 --> 00:43:29,773
Things are never what they seem,
Crockett. You ought to know that.
631
00:43:29,815 --> 00:43:33,610
You also ought to know
that we play by the same rules.
632
00:43:33,693 --> 00:43:37,114
Mm-hmm.
And what about Pierce?
633
00:43:37,155 --> 00:43:41,785
- What rules does he play by?
- The same ones as every other candidate.
634
00:43:41,827 --> 00:43:45,872
- Does that make it okay?
- Nature of the game, guys.
635
00:43:45,956 --> 00:43:48,416
All these things you don't like.
636
00:43:48,458 --> 00:43:50,961
All these people you don't trust.
637
00:43:51,002 --> 00:43:53,964
Sooner or later,
you got to put all that aside, and...
638
00:43:54,005 --> 00:43:56,967
and believe in someone.
639
00:43:57,008 --> 00:43:59,010
You mean sell yourself short?
640
00:43:59,052 --> 00:44:03,390
Sometimes that Shangri-la attitude
does more harm than good.
641
00:44:17,154 --> 00:44:19,990
Thank you. Thank you.
642
00:44:20,073 --> 00:44:24,452
Maybe you'll learn something
from this. Thank you. Thank you.
643
00:44:24,494 --> 00:44:26,913
Annie and I thank you
from the bottom of our hearts.
644
00:44:26,997 --> 00:44:29,833
And let me add that it's good not
to be the invisible man anymore.
645
00:44:31,918 --> 00:44:35,672
Now, it's no secret that I've been
gone for these past three weeks.
646
00:44:35,755 --> 00:44:39,801
And during that self-imposed
solitude, I've learned many things.
647
00:44:39,885 --> 00:44:43,096
I've wandered the back alleys
and streets of this great state,
648
00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:46,433
and I've gazed upon
its sickened heart.
649
00:44:46,516 --> 00:44:49,477
And that discovery led me
to one conclusion...
650
00:44:49,561 --> 00:44:52,981
a decision that was based upon
the people's need for leadership,
651
00:44:53,064 --> 00:44:56,484
rather than my own comparatively
insignificant need for privacy.
652
00:44:56,526 --> 00:45:00,155
And it is with that in mind
that I have returned.
653
00:45:00,197 --> 00:45:04,201
And I have every intention
of giving this grand state of ours...
654
00:45:04,284 --> 00:45:06,745
what it needs to attain greatness.
655
00:45:06,828 --> 00:45:09,039
Thank you. Thank you.
656
00:45:11,291 --> 00:45:13,210
Thank you.
657
00:45:13,293 --> 00:45:16,213
Thank you.
658
00:45:16,296 --> 00:45:20,342
