Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,036 --> 00:00:07,971
This problem at O'Hare, the mayor's
announcement about the waste...
2
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,873
Should we be concerned?
3
00:00:09,941 --> 00:00:12,576
I believe it's all as it seems.
4
00:00:12,660 --> 00:00:15,245
Miller: What's going on that
we're not supposed to see?
5
00:00:15,329 --> 00:00:18,632
Blood test and biopsy found high red cell
count, almost seven million per micro-liter,
6
00:00:18,699 --> 00:00:21,367
And traces of T.C.E.
In his liver and kidneys.
7
00:00:21,419 --> 00:00:24,971
- T.C.E., that's trichloral...
- Trichloroethylene, yeah.
8
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:26,973
Don't know where
the exposure came from.
9
00:00:27,041 --> 00:00:29,926
The area in question was used
by the previous administration
10
00:00:30,011 --> 00:00:32,062
for the disposal
of toxic waste.
11
00:00:32,146 --> 00:00:34,631
You don't know whether something
is the lead of a lifetime,
12
00:00:34,699 --> 00:00:36,533
or just pure chump bait.
13
00:00:36,601 --> 00:00:39,936
There's a different view of the
world from the one you have.
14
00:00:40,004 --> 00:00:42,155
If you want to see it,
15
00:00:42,222 --> 00:00:45,275
there's a certain group of people
in Chicago I'd like you to meet.
16
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:48,111
You talking you and me
leading the charge?
17
00:00:48,179 --> 00:00:52,749
I'm talking you simply joining a
groundswell already in motion.
18
00:00:54,218 --> 00:00:56,169
I came to say
19
00:00:56,236 --> 00:00:59,522
that if you really want to
make this work, we should try.
20
00:00:59,590 --> 00:01:02,742
- Is there something else I should know?
- No.
21
00:01:02,793 --> 00:01:05,679
I know he's been to see you.
Why does he want to speak to you?
22
00:01:05,746 --> 00:01:08,181
Listen, these are expensive.
23
00:01:08,248 --> 00:01:11,017
Are you sure
it isn't a problem?
24
00:01:11,085 --> 00:01:13,470
Darius: My guy said it's some
pretty powerful shit.
25
00:01:13,554 --> 00:01:15,038
Who's it for?
26
00:01:27,068 --> 00:01:31,154
♪ Satan, your kingdom
must come down ♪
27
00:01:32,790 --> 00:01:36,493
♪ Satan, your kingdom
must come down ♪
28
00:01:38,112 --> 00:01:42,499
♪ I heard the voice
of Jesus Christ ♪
29
00:01:42,583 --> 00:01:46,836
♪ Satan, your kingdom
must come down. ♪
30
00:02:20,137 --> 00:02:22,572
Emma: Slow down. Slow down.
31
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:25,291
Slow down.
32
00:02:27,261 --> 00:02:30,213
Stop. Stop.
33
00:02:30,297 --> 00:02:31,881
You okay?
34
00:02:31,966 --> 00:02:35,501
Yeah. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
35
00:02:35,553 --> 00:02:37,837
No, it's okay.
It's all right.
36
00:02:46,831 --> 00:02:48,598
What?
37
00:02:50,801 --> 00:02:52,769
It's just
38
00:02:52,837 --> 00:02:55,271
I can't imagine you.
39
00:02:55,339 --> 00:02:58,708
Before this moment right now.
40
00:03:00,644 --> 00:03:02,912
Well, you...
you don't know me.
41
00:03:06,050 --> 00:03:08,418
I want to.
42
00:03:08,486 --> 00:03:10,253
Why?
43
00:03:14,175 --> 00:03:15,925
I don't know.
44
00:03:16,010 --> 00:03:17,727
I'm sorry.
45
00:03:21,365 --> 00:03:24,517
I've sat through
a lot of talking.
46
00:03:24,568 --> 00:03:27,070
A lot of searching,
47
00:03:27,154 --> 00:03:30,556
A lot picking and needling.
48
00:03:30,608 --> 00:03:35,245
And people with diplomas
listening to me.
49
00:03:35,329 --> 00:03:39,532
And asking me to share.
50
00:03:39,583 --> 00:03:41,534
And bare myself.
51
00:03:41,585 --> 00:03:43,569
For deliberate humiliation,
52
00:03:43,621 --> 00:03:46,656
looking for some
moment of catharsis.
53
00:03:46,724 --> 00:03:49,993
There's nothing there.
54
00:03:50,060 --> 00:03:52,662
There's no way to explain.
55
00:03:52,730 --> 00:03:55,231
It's just surrender
to what's up there.
56
00:03:55,299 --> 00:03:58,735
Or to everything else.
57
00:04:00,521 --> 00:04:02,839
What?
58
00:04:02,907 --> 00:04:07,677
That's you.
59
00:04:07,745 --> 00:04:12,182
Trying to explain you.
60
00:04:12,249 --> 00:04:14,784
And I have no idea what
you're talking about.
61
00:04:22,259 --> 00:04:24,443
It's... it's difficult
62
00:04:24,495 --> 00:04:27,063
to make it make sense.
63
00:04:27,131 --> 00:04:29,566
Pain plays a game with you.
64
00:04:29,633 --> 00:04:32,451
Until you run out
of whatever it is.
65
00:04:32,503 --> 00:04:35,538
You're using to fight it with,
66
00:04:35,606 --> 00:04:38,624
because there is
no stopping point.
67
00:04:38,676 --> 00:04:42,428
You don't care who you hurt,
68
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,948
what you break.
69
00:04:45,015 --> 00:04:47,283
what you take.
70
00:04:47,351 --> 00:04:49,819
You don't care.
You don't care.
71
00:04:52,606 --> 00:04:54,357
You don't care.
72
00:05:17,331 --> 00:05:19,516
This time,
73
00:05:19,583 --> 00:05:22,468
If I cry out, don't slow down.
74
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,337
Don't stop.
75
00:05:34,598 --> 00:05:36,399
It hit the blogs last night.
76
00:05:36,467 --> 00:05:39,702
And above the fold this morning on
"The Sentinel" and "The Sun Times."
77
00:05:39,770 --> 00:05:42,372
You can never stay
far enough ahead.
78
00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:44,674
No.
79
00:05:44,742 --> 00:05:46,859
Who's fucking me?
80
00:05:46,927 --> 00:05:49,662
- The circle was small.
- Who?
81
00:05:49,713 --> 00:05:52,615
Someone with knowledge, access.
82
00:05:52,683 --> 00:05:55,385
The files are 20 years old.
83
00:05:55,469 --> 00:05:57,921
It had to be someone close.
84
00:06:08,232 --> 00:06:10,716
We need to make it
to Friday... three days.
85
00:06:10,768 --> 00:06:13,686
We spin the story right and we
hope it fades over the weekend.
86
00:06:15,372 --> 00:06:18,608
mr. Mayor! Mr. Mayor!
87
00:06:18,692 --> 00:06:21,327
Mr. Mayor, do you have anything
to say to the people of Chicago?
88
00:06:21,395 --> 00:06:25,031
Sir, what do you have to say
to the citizens of Bensenville?
89
00:06:25,082 --> 00:06:27,784
Were you aware of the potential
medical fallout, sir?
90
00:06:27,868 --> 00:06:29,702
Female anchor:
For more on the story.
91
00:06:29,753 --> 00:06:32,005
We go to Kendra Simmons,
live at City Hall.
92
00:06:32,072 --> 00:06:34,591
Thank you, Dana.
The document that shows.
93
00:06:34,675 --> 00:06:36,676
Then sanitation director
Thomas Kane
94
00:06:36,743 --> 00:06:39,379
authorized the dump
of trichloroethylene
95
00:06:39,430 --> 00:06:41,631
at a site near O'Hare airport.
96
00:06:41,715 --> 00:06:43,633
Was made public by a blogger
97
00:06:43,717 --> 00:06:45,718
who goes by the name chump bait.
98
00:06:45,769 --> 00:06:47,704
Though there are concerns.
99
00:06:47,771 --> 00:06:50,173
about the effect
the scandal will have
100
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,342
on the O'Hare
expansion project,
101
00:06:52,409 --> 00:06:55,311
the mayor's office insists the
project will continue as planned.
102
00:06:55,396 --> 00:06:57,864
Started getting calls about your '89
tax returns early this morning.
103
00:06:57,931 --> 00:07:00,033
I assume they're fine
to release?
104
00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:03,403
- Yes.
- Give 'em hard copies. Nothing gets to the internet.
105
00:07:03,454 --> 00:07:05,822
This mayor and his minions
106
00:07:05,889 --> 00:07:08,558
have proven themselves
again and again
107
00:07:08,626 --> 00:07:10,960
to be purveyors
of lies and deceit.
108
00:07:11,045 --> 00:07:14,130
- All right, first things first.
109
00:07:14,214 --> 00:07:17,417
I want to keep the fifth
floor cleared, no press.
110
00:07:17,468 --> 00:07:19,785
- I need to breathe up here.
- Yes, sir.
111
00:07:21,805 --> 00:07:23,673
Now...
112
00:07:23,757 --> 00:07:25,808
Ideas.
113
00:07:25,893 --> 00:07:28,394
We make it all about
mayor Rutledge.
114
00:07:28,462 --> 00:07:30,897
His administration... his problem.
You were just following orders.
115
00:07:30,964 --> 00:07:32,631
Won't be hard to get
them chasing that.
116
00:07:32,683 --> 00:07:34,567
I can plant it in a nepotism
angle at the next gaggle.
117
00:07:34,634 --> 00:07:36,853
That's fine, but that by itself
doesn't get us to Friday.
118
00:07:36,937 --> 00:07:39,622
Okay, then we push harder, make it
so Rutledge bears all the blame.
119
00:07:39,690 --> 00:07:41,324
We have five networks
to manage.
120
00:07:41,408 --> 00:07:43,860
They're not all gonna chase the
same angle for more than a day.
121
00:07:43,944 --> 00:07:45,912
We need to give them
something more to work with.
122
00:07:45,979 --> 00:07:48,331
What about the document itself?
We raise doubts it's even real.
123
00:07:48,415 --> 00:07:51,117
No. Stay away
from the document.
124
00:07:51,168 --> 00:07:54,704
We need to fan the flames
and then control the burn.
125
00:07:54,788 --> 00:07:56,339
Fan the flames?
126
00:07:56,423 --> 00:07:58,925
There's a piece of paper
with a signature on it.
127
00:07:58,992 --> 00:08:01,344
It's damning. It links us
to fucking cancer.
128
00:08:01,428 --> 00:08:05,148
That is not going away.
We've got three days till the weekend,
129
00:08:05,215 --> 00:08:08,801
Three cycles in which
something has to play out.
130
00:08:08,852 --> 00:08:11,637
And as long as it's about
Kane or Chicago, we lose.
131
00:08:11,689 --> 00:08:13,172
Okay, so what do we do?
132
00:08:13,223 --> 00:08:15,858
Three prongs:
One... your Rutledge angle.
133
00:08:15,943 --> 00:08:19,062
It needs to become fact that it was the
old man who started this whole thing.
134
00:08:19,146 --> 00:08:21,397
- Prong two?
- This current shit show...
135
00:08:21,482 --> 00:08:23,232
We move it to Bensenville.
136
00:08:23,317 --> 00:08:25,184
Because we don't have
voters in Bensenville?
137
00:08:25,235 --> 00:08:27,019
No, because one way or another.
138
00:08:27,071 --> 00:08:29,021
A story needs to be told.
139
00:08:29,073 --> 00:08:32,525
We make it so it's not about
us... who ordered what.
140
00:08:32,576 --> 00:08:35,461
We make it so it's about
how a small town.
141
00:08:35,529 --> 00:08:37,797
Chicagoans drive by
to get to the airport.
142
00:08:37,864 --> 00:08:40,249
Deals with the end
of the world.
143
00:08:40,334 --> 00:08:43,369
People will watch because
it's fucking horrifying.
144
00:08:43,420 --> 00:08:47,790
Come Friday, every one of those
chyrons will read "Bensenville."
145
00:08:47,858 --> 00:08:50,143
We'll have to tear the place
apart to pull it off.
146
00:08:51,862 --> 00:08:54,764
And come Monday,
if I'm still alive...
147
00:08:54,848 --> 00:08:56,766
Prong three...
148
00:08:56,850 --> 00:08:58,768
You step in to help
a neighbor in need.
149
00:09:00,003 --> 00:09:01,738
Good.
150
00:09:01,822 --> 00:09:03,906
Let's move.
151
00:09:03,991 --> 00:09:05,558
Bensenville.
152
00:09:05,609 --> 00:09:08,394
Mayor Gregg, sir.
153
00:09:08,445 --> 00:09:10,079
Yeah.
154
00:09:10,164 --> 00:09:12,081
I should get
on the phone with him.
155
00:09:12,166 --> 00:09:13,666
As a courtesy.
156
00:09:18,756 --> 00:09:21,073
Chumpbait?
Tell me that isn't you.
157
00:09:24,928 --> 00:09:26,763
It's a damn shame
where we've ended up.
158
00:09:26,847 --> 00:09:29,315
I mean, these guys,
these bloggers...
159
00:09:29,317 --> 00:09:31,768
Where the fuck is journalism?
Am I right? Fuck
160
00:09:31,835 --> 00:09:34,403
I mean, this issue's,
some real unstoppable,
161
00:09:34,471 --> 00:09:38,307
no-time-to-fact-check,
truth-be-damned,
162
00:09:38,392 --> 00:09:41,760
eyeball-getting cowboy
bullshit, is it not?
163
00:09:41,812 --> 00:09:43,396
What're you worried about?
164
00:09:43,447 --> 00:09:46,566
Because if we're about
to chat about circulation,
165
00:09:46,617 --> 00:09:49,035
I'm not interested.
166
00:09:52,122 --> 00:09:54,240
Get out.
167
00:09:54,291 --> 00:09:56,626
Just get out.
168
00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:57,827
Go.
169
00:10:07,787 --> 00:10:10,673
Beat press at 11:00,
full briefing at 3:00.
170
00:10:10,757 --> 00:10:12,391
What?
171
00:10:12,459 --> 00:10:14,393
You can direct that
172
00:10:14,461 --> 00:10:16,512
to the commissioner's office.
173
00:10:16,597 --> 00:10:19,465
As I understand it,
174
00:10:19,516 --> 00:10:23,019
we are in search
for such documentation.
175
00:10:23,103 --> 00:10:26,272
But that was
long before my tenure,
176
00:10:26,323 --> 00:10:28,741
So I can't speak
to its existence.
177
00:10:30,444 --> 00:10:32,695
We absolutely are
releasing them.
178
00:10:32,779 --> 00:10:34,947
You'll get them
at 3:00.
179
00:10:34,998 --> 00:10:37,983
Look, we're talking 1989 here.
I don't know what to tell you.
180
00:10:38,035 --> 00:10:39,818
They're 20-year-old
tax returns.
181
00:10:39,870 --> 00:10:41,820
It's not like I can
just email them over.
182
00:10:41,872 --> 00:10:43,489
I'm trying to do you
a favor here.
183
00:10:43,540 --> 00:10:45,208
You'll get them at 3:00
with everyone else, Dan,
184
00:10:45,292 --> 00:10:46,542
'cause that's where
the story is.
185
00:10:46,627 --> 00:10:48,094
Doesn't matter
how many times you ask.
186
00:10:48,161 --> 00:10:50,129
Has the groundwater
in Bensenville been tested?
187
00:10:50,180 --> 00:10:53,382
Have wells been contaminated?
Why is no one asking these questions?
188
00:10:53,467 --> 00:10:55,885
Why does it matter
what it helps me?
189
00:10:58,138 --> 00:11:00,022
Email that to me.
I need to get it out now.
190
00:11:00,107 --> 00:11:03,309
We go after the union on a cost of
living increase. We table a freeze.
191
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,178
Gary: A couple hundred baggage
handlers out of work in the process.
192
00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:08,180
Does the federal authority
know about this?
193
00:11:08,232 --> 00:11:10,616
I don't know. This is one of those things.
I need you to trust me.
194
00:11:10,684 --> 00:11:13,786
- But the deal is all but done.
- I'm just asking for us to take another look at it.
195
00:11:13,853 --> 00:11:15,854
How long will that take?
One day?
196
00:11:15,906 --> 00:11:18,291
No, you're pushing for a strike as a diversion.
That's what this is.
197
00:11:18,358 --> 00:11:21,193
- One day, maybe two.
- Mayor Gregg, Bensenville, on the phone.
198
00:11:21,245 --> 00:11:22,712
This is crazy
even for you guys.
199
00:11:22,796 --> 00:11:25,081
We both know this has nothing
to do with our contracts,
200
00:11:25,165 --> 00:11:27,333
and everything to do with
what's on the goddamn tv.
201
00:11:27,384 --> 00:11:29,252
Gary, I gotta call you back.
202
00:11:41,598 --> 00:11:44,850
Tom: Myself, my team and
the entire city of Chicago.
203
00:11:44,902 --> 00:11:47,219
Will stand behind you
and the village of Bensenville.
204
00:11:47,271 --> 00:11:49,221
Whatever resources you
205
00:11:49,273 --> 00:11:51,941
or your administration
may need, just ask.
206
00:11:52,025 --> 00:11:54,410
I appreciate it, Tom.
This is all rather unpleasant,
207
00:11:54,494 --> 00:11:57,280
But I'm confident that we've got
the situation under control.
208
00:11:57,364 --> 00:11:58,998
I've been here before, Chuck.
209
00:11:59,065 --> 00:12:01,918
It's going to get worse before it gets better.
How can I help you?
210
00:12:02,002 --> 00:12:04,737
You're incredibly generous, but there's
just no immediate need for help.
211
00:12:04,788 --> 00:12:07,456
You know, we've been
discussing the optics here.
212
00:12:07,541 --> 00:12:09,625
Of a joint press conference.
213
00:12:09,710 --> 00:12:12,762
That could be a real help
to you, weathering this.
214
00:12:12,829 --> 00:12:16,499
A press conference? Yeah,
well, I'm just not sure...
215
00:12:16,566 --> 00:12:18,801
- The least I can do.
- Well, I thank you, sir.
216
00:12:18,869 --> 00:12:21,003
I would, but I've got
a very full day here.
217
00:12:21,071 --> 00:12:23,105
And I really believe we can
ride this out on our own.
218
00:12:23,173 --> 00:12:25,558
But please know how grateful
I am for the offer.
219
00:12:25,609 --> 00:12:27,610
And that the offer will stand,
220
00:12:27,694 --> 00:12:29,862
should you ever need it later.
221
00:12:29,929 --> 00:12:32,064
I'll sleep better
knowing that, thank you.
222
00:12:32,115 --> 00:12:33,950
- Take care, Chuck.
- You too, Tom.
223
00:12:35,936 --> 00:12:37,620
Feig.
224
00:12:37,704 --> 00:12:40,156
- Yeah?
- He's on his way in.
225
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,742
- What's he saying?
- What we already know.
226
00:12:42,793 --> 00:12:44,660
Says he has no idea where
the document came from.
227
00:12:44,745 --> 00:12:46,945
He shredded everything
after he finished the job.
228
00:12:46,997 --> 00:12:49,615
What do you think?
229
00:12:49,666 --> 00:12:52,568
He's out of the game.
His kids are set.
230
00:12:52,636 --> 00:12:55,221
He was never proud.
231
00:12:55,288 --> 00:12:57,523
He's got no reason to lie.
232
00:12:57,591 --> 00:13:00,459
I was the only one who knew
what was on those trucks.
233
00:13:03,129 --> 00:13:06,131
You told me to keep
it tight. I did.
234
00:13:06,183 --> 00:13:09,418
It was, what, 18, 19 years ago?
235
00:13:09,486 --> 00:13:11,220
22.
236
00:13:12,656 --> 00:13:14,757
It was sparse over there
back then,
237
00:13:14,825 --> 00:13:16,792
Open fields.
238
00:13:16,860 --> 00:13:19,996
No one saw us go in.
No one saw us come out.
239
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,833
I hired a small crew,
all of them well compensated.
240
00:13:23,917 --> 00:13:25,735
No one at the company today
241
00:13:25,802 --> 00:13:27,503
even knows that field
was a dump site.
242
00:13:34,828 --> 00:13:36,045
How are the kids?
243
00:13:36,129 --> 00:13:38,214
Who cares about them?
244
00:13:38,281 --> 00:13:40,950
- It's the grand kids now.
- Yeah.
245
00:13:41,018 --> 00:13:43,219
Ally's off to northwestern
in the fall.
246
00:13:43,303 --> 00:13:47,139
And Jack has a couple more
years at st. Catherine's.
247
00:13:47,190 --> 00:13:49,842
Smart kids.
248
00:13:51,144 --> 00:13:53,178
That's a good thing
there, Alan.
249
00:13:53,230 --> 00:13:58,067
I hope you know
how thankful I am, Tom,
250
00:13:58,151 --> 00:14:00,870
for everything that
you've done for us.
251
00:14:05,208 --> 00:14:07,343
You look after that family.
252
00:14:11,030 --> 00:14:12,948
If you need anything,
253
00:14:13,016 --> 00:14:15,985
anything at all,
I'm here for you,
254
00:14:16,053 --> 00:14:18,003
Always been,
255
00:14:18,055 --> 00:14:19,371
always will be.
256
00:14:34,554 --> 00:14:37,222
Okay, everybody, listen up.
257
00:14:37,274 --> 00:14:39,224
Listen up.
Listen up.
258
00:14:39,276 --> 00:14:41,494
Before I take any questions,
259
00:14:41,561 --> 00:14:44,229
I want to address
something upfront.
260
00:14:44,281 --> 00:14:46,832
Now many have insinuated
261
00:14:46,900 --> 00:14:50,086
that mayor Kane received his
position as sanitation director.
262
00:14:50,170 --> 00:14:52,705
As some sort of family favor.
263
00:14:52,756 --> 00:14:54,707
And I want to state
unequivocally
264
00:14:54,758 --> 00:14:56,542
that those assertions
are misguided.
265
00:14:56,593 --> 00:15:00,846
He received the appointment because
he was eminently qualified.
266
00:15:00,914 --> 00:15:03,432
Mayor Kane has been
and will continue to be.
267
00:15:03,517 --> 00:15:06,352
A faithful servant
of the city of Chicago.
268
00:15:06,419 --> 00:15:08,687
When he has been asked
to lead, he has led.
269
00:15:08,755 --> 00:15:11,724
And when he has been asked to
follow, he has done that as well.
270
00:15:11,775 --> 00:15:13,809
You're still trying to lay all
this off on mayor Rutledge?
271
00:15:13,894 --> 00:15:15,594
Look, I'm only saying.
272
00:15:15,645 --> 00:15:19,448
Tom Kane was an employee working
for the city like any other.
273
00:15:19,533 --> 00:15:22,818
Suggestions that he received his
first government appointment
274
00:15:22,903 --> 00:15:25,070
because he was married
to the mayor's daughter
275
00:15:25,122 --> 00:15:27,289
are completely false.
276
00:15:29,543 --> 00:15:31,460
All right, I'll take
your questions.
277
00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:36,632
I just want to assure you that the
entire 30th and I are behind you 100%.
278
00:15:36,716 --> 00:15:38,134
100%.
279
00:15:38,218 --> 00:15:41,904
Considering past events, I felt
it inherently my responsibility
280
00:15:41,972 --> 00:15:43,906
to come to you
without being asked,
281
00:15:43,974 --> 00:15:47,092
To reassure you, after making
all the appropriate inquiries,
282
00:15:47,144 --> 00:15:50,429
That no one on my staff nor anyone
else that I have contracted.
283
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,699
Has anything to do with this
latest mishap at O'Hare.
284
00:15:53,767 --> 00:15:55,417
Mishap?
285
00:15:55,485 --> 00:15:56,919
Scandal.
286
00:15:58,288 --> 00:15:59,538
Leak.
287
00:16:02,826 --> 00:16:05,528
Considering past events...
288
00:16:05,612 --> 00:16:07,763
Ruiz and
the Pottawatomie problem.
289
00:16:14,204 --> 00:16:15,153
I...
290
00:16:17,958 --> 00:16:20,709
Yeah, I'm listening.
291
00:16:20,794 --> 00:16:24,263
I just want to assure you
that my house is in order.
292
00:16:36,443 --> 00:16:39,011
Well, I know that
you're a busy man.
293
00:16:41,064 --> 00:16:42,898
I'll let you get on
with your business.
294
00:16:44,150 --> 00:16:47,236
Yeah, thanks, Lalo.
295
00:16:51,691 --> 00:16:53,525
It's good to know
that I can count on you.
296
00:16:55,078 --> 00:16:56,528
Tom.
297
00:16:56,580 --> 00:16:58,030
Anything else?
298
00:16:58,081 --> 00:17:00,165
No, that's it.
299
00:17:00,217 --> 00:17:01,533
If you'll excuse me...
300
00:17:13,980 --> 00:17:16,432
I know this was unexpected,
but times are tough.
301
00:17:16,516 --> 00:17:19,318
Everybody's got to take a haircut,
including the baggage handlers' union.
302
00:17:19,385 --> 00:17:22,805
Union rep: I don't understand how
O'Hare thinks this is gonna fly.
303
00:17:22,872 --> 00:17:25,507
Rescinding a standard
cost-of-living increase
304
00:17:25,575 --> 00:17:28,277
after we already agreed on it?
Have they lost their minds?
305
00:17:28,345 --> 00:17:31,580
It's about their bottom line.
They've run the numbers and here we are.
306
00:17:31,648 --> 00:17:35,167
Ezra, this is a guaranteed strike.
You know that, right?
307
00:17:35,234 --> 00:17:36,952
Everyone's clear on that.
308
00:17:37,020 --> 00:17:39,521
There has to be something you can do.
The mayor, I mean...
309
00:17:39,589 --> 00:17:41,991
Look, why don't we all
try to get on the phone,
310
00:17:42,058 --> 00:17:44,426
See if there isn't a last-minute
compromise to be made?
311
00:17:44,511 --> 00:17:47,096
I hope we can.
My men want to work,
312
00:17:47,180 --> 00:17:50,566
But they're not just gonna
bend over like this.
313
00:17:50,634 --> 00:17:52,101
I hear you.
We'll set it up.
314
00:17:53,586 --> 00:17:55,521
But what
about the areas
315
00:17:55,588 --> 00:17:57,072
that have already been
contaminated?
316
00:17:57,140 --> 00:17:58,557
Mayor Kane's administration.
317
00:17:58,608 --> 00:18:00,359
Has been removing
the hazardous waste
318
00:18:00,426 --> 00:18:02,728
late at night and in secret.
319
00:18:02,779 --> 00:18:05,281
Cost of removal and reclamation
320
00:18:05,365 --> 00:18:07,700
is estimated to be
in the millions of dollars.
321
00:18:07,767 --> 00:18:10,452
Three autonomous
environmental agencies,
322
00:18:10,537 --> 00:18:12,121
arranged citywide forums
323
00:18:12,205 --> 00:18:14,907
to answer questions
about the cleanup efforts.
324
00:18:14,958 --> 00:18:18,160
Chicagoans arrived in droves
to express outrage.
325
00:18:18,244 --> 00:18:21,580
During the three
town hall sessions.
326
00:18:21,631 --> 00:18:23,949
There are growing fears tonight
327
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,552
about groundwater
in Bensenville,
328
00:18:26,619 --> 00:18:28,587
where researchers' findings
thus far
329
00:18:28,638 --> 00:18:31,440
have unleashed a stream of
speculation from scientists.
330
00:18:31,508 --> 00:18:34,510
Take a look at WLOZ's
exclusive graphic.
331
00:18:34,577 --> 00:18:36,645
As you can see, rainwater mixes
332
00:18:36,713 --> 00:18:38,647
with the buried toxic chemicals
333
00:18:38,732 --> 00:18:39,982
and seeps into the groundwater
334
00:18:40,050 --> 00:18:43,218
that acts as Bensenville's
main water supply.
335
00:18:43,286 --> 00:18:46,822
Contaminated water is then pumped
up into Bensenville homes.
336
00:18:46,890 --> 00:18:49,975
We go now to Kendra Simmons
in Bensenville.
337
00:18:50,026 --> 00:18:51,977
For as long
as they can remember,
338
00:18:52,028 --> 00:18:53,311
the Robinsons say.
339
00:18:53,363 --> 00:18:56,298
there's been a strange tang
to the water.
340
00:18:56,366 --> 00:18:59,084
The village of Bensenville
assured them
341
00:18:59,152 --> 00:19:01,086
that all chemicals detected
342
00:19:01,154 --> 00:19:04,656
were within the levels
deemed safe by the EPA.
343
00:19:04,708 --> 00:19:07,176
The Robinsons trusted
this assessment,
344
00:19:07,260 --> 00:19:10,813
but now wonder, really
what are they drinking?
345
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,348
Anchor:
EPA levels for water...
346
00:19:21,340 --> 00:19:23,659
WBSK channel 3.
347
00:19:23,727 --> 00:19:26,028
- Dan Pratt, please.
- Just one moment.
348
00:19:28,148 --> 00:19:30,182
Pratt: Hello.
This is Dan.
349
00:19:30,233 --> 00:19:32,151
Dan, hey.
It's Kitty.
350
00:19:32,202 --> 00:19:34,787
Oh yeah, you saw that?
351
00:19:34,854 --> 00:19:37,156
I thought it was a nice touch
doing it from the kitchen.
352
00:19:37,207 --> 00:19:39,208
Yeah, no kidding.
If I lived in that neighborhood,
353
00:19:39,292 --> 00:19:40,993
I'd be stocking up
on Poland springs.
354
00:19:45,382 --> 00:19:48,600
Listen, this is off the record,
355
00:19:48,668 --> 00:19:50,636
But mayor Gregg's been
in the loop
356
00:19:50,703 --> 00:19:52,588
on the cleanup efforts
from the get-go.
357
00:19:52,672 --> 00:19:54,390
He's been warned about
the potential dangers
358
00:19:54,474 --> 00:19:56,842
of gases rising up from the
water table and into homes.
359
00:19:56,893 --> 00:19:58,877
You haven't?
360
00:19:58,928 --> 00:20:00,712
Well, you'll have to
ask him that.
361
00:20:07,353 --> 00:20:09,688
Female reporter: Though Kane was
active in his local ward
362
00:20:09,756 --> 00:20:11,974
throughout his youth,
many who knew him then say
363
00:20:12,041 --> 00:20:14,042
it was his relationship
with Meredith Rutledge
364
00:20:14,110 --> 00:20:15,911
that launched
his political career.
365
00:20:15,979 --> 00:20:17,579
His rise through the ranks
in City Hall
366
00:20:17,664 --> 00:20:20,115
closely paralleled
their relationship.
367
00:20:20,183 --> 00:20:21,984
Shortly after their wedding
in May of 19...
368
00:20:24,704 --> 00:20:26,205
Yes?
369
00:20:26,256 --> 00:20:28,674
Chumpbait.com...
it's Miller, sir.
370
00:20:28,741 --> 00:20:30,459
Sam Miller from
"The Sentinel."
371
00:20:30,543 --> 00:20:32,127
How do you know?
372
00:20:32,195 --> 00:20:34,129
Looks like he wasn't trying
too hard to cover it up.
373
00:20:34,214 --> 00:20:35,631
Get Bentley in here.
374
00:20:35,698 --> 00:20:37,099
Yes, sir.
375
00:20:38,518 --> 00:20:40,302
find him, Tom.
376
00:20:40,386 --> 00:20:42,137
Sir?
377
00:20:51,314 --> 00:20:52,781
Take a seat.
378
00:21:08,148 --> 00:21:11,300
All this
379
00:21:11,367 --> 00:21:12,968
predates you.
380
00:21:13,052 --> 00:21:14,586
Yes, sir.
381
00:21:14,637 --> 00:21:16,071
How much did you know about it?
382
00:21:16,139 --> 00:21:18,974
Just what we've worked on...
the cleanup.
383
00:21:19,042 --> 00:21:19,975
Yeah.
384
00:21:21,511 --> 00:21:22,811
You had dinner yet?
385
00:21:22,879 --> 00:21:25,681
No, sir.
Did you need... ?
386
00:21:25,748 --> 00:21:30,118
A desk boy brought me
a muffin a while ago...
387
00:21:30,186 --> 00:21:33,322
The worst thing
I've ever tasted,
388
00:21:33,406 --> 00:21:37,276
Some kind of gluten-free
something or other.
389
00:21:37,327 --> 00:21:40,579
You know what I want to know?
390
00:21:40,646 --> 00:21:42,915
No, sir.
391
00:21:42,982 --> 00:21:47,369
Why bother with the muffin?
392
00:21:47,453 --> 00:21:49,154
Eat a cracker.
393
00:21:51,708 --> 00:21:55,577
I don't like half-assed.
394
00:21:55,645 --> 00:21:57,713
That's what I'm saying.
395
00:21:57,780 --> 00:22:00,382
If somebody's coming at me,
396
00:22:00,450 --> 00:22:03,552
I'd just as soon
get hit all at once.
397
00:22:03,620 --> 00:22:05,754
Yes, sir.
398
00:22:05,822 --> 00:22:09,107
This guy Miller...
399
00:22:09,175 --> 00:22:11,143
Somebody gave him
that document.
400
00:22:12,362 --> 00:22:13,662
Yes, sir.
401
00:22:15,181 --> 00:22:17,599
Do you know who?
402
00:22:19,469 --> 00:22:21,603
No, sir.
403
00:22:37,337 --> 00:22:38,637
Yeah?
404
00:22:38,704 --> 00:22:40,138
Man:
Stone, sir.
405
00:22:42,058 --> 00:22:44,009
Send him in.
406
00:22:48,481 --> 00:22:51,216
O'Hare's on board
with the strike.
407
00:22:51,267 --> 00:22:53,318
I'll get on the phone
with everyone tomorrow,
408
00:22:53,386 --> 00:22:55,553
Make it look like we tried
to broker a deal.
409
00:22:55,605 --> 00:22:57,489
It's going to work.
410
00:22:57,556 --> 00:22:59,374
They'll be able
to keep things moving.
411
00:22:59,442 --> 00:23:01,159
With management and...
412
00:23:01,227 --> 00:23:04,513
- Tom: Find him, Tom.
- ...Non-union support staff.
413
00:23:04,581 --> 00:23:05,914
Then they'll put
the cost-of-living increase.
414
00:23:05,982 --> 00:23:08,116
Back on the table
and settle over the weekend.
415
00:23:08,184 --> 00:23:12,170
We'll approve a few million
more in bond money,
416
00:23:12,238 --> 00:23:14,239
Put it in
the construction budget.
417
00:23:14,290 --> 00:23:16,241
That'll cover them
for any losses
418
00:23:16,292 --> 00:23:18,510
they might take on the weekend.
419
00:23:37,914 --> 00:23:39,531
You've got to find him, Tom.
420
00:23:51,110 --> 00:23:54,563
Tom, are you okay with that?
421
00:23:54,631 --> 00:23:56,798
Yeah.
422
00:24:16,936 --> 00:24:19,137
I'll get on the phone
with everyone tomorrow,
423
00:24:19,188 --> 00:24:21,806
Make it look like we tried
to broker a deal.
424
00:24:21,858 --> 00:24:23,775
It's going to work.
425
00:24:23,826 --> 00:24:28,080
They'll be able to get by
for a couple of days
426
00:24:28,147 --> 00:24:31,033
with management and
non-union support staff.
427
00:24:31,100 --> 00:24:34,670
Then they'll put the cost-of-living
increase back on the table and...
428
00:24:36,456 --> 00:24:38,373
It's going to work.
429
00:24:38,458 --> 00:24:42,094
They'll be able to get by
for a couple of days.
430
00:24:42,161 --> 00:24:44,996
With management
and non-union support staff.
431
00:24:45,048 --> 00:24:48,050
Then they'll put
the cost-of-living increase
432
00:24:48,117 --> 00:24:50,252
back on the table and
settle over the weekend.
433
00:24:56,559 --> 00:24:59,761
Female reporter: As of 9:00 this morning
the village of Bensenville
434
00:24:59,829 --> 00:25:01,897
was completely sold out
of bottled water.
435
00:25:01,964 --> 00:25:04,649
Reports from Franklin Park
and Addison suggest
436
00:25:04,701 --> 00:25:06,535
that they too are
low on supplies.
437
00:25:06,619 --> 00:25:09,538
Though store owners are
grateful for the business,
438
00:25:09,622 --> 00:25:12,690
Consumers find the extra expense for
something most take for granted.
439
00:25:12,742 --> 00:25:14,826
An insult to injury
in a community.
440
00:25:14,877 --> 00:25:17,412
Already hit hard
by the foreclosure crisis.
441
00:25:17,497 --> 00:25:20,031
Reporting from Bensenville,
I'm Jackie Mullens.
442
00:25:20,083 --> 00:25:22,167
We need to get them
looking at property values.
443
00:25:24,036 --> 00:25:25,337
Long-term, you mean?
444
00:25:27,757 --> 00:25:29,508
No, today, right now.
445
00:25:29,559 --> 00:25:32,394
Doesn't it take weeks,
if not months,
446
00:25:32,478 --> 00:25:34,212
for a decline
in the real estate market
447
00:25:34,263 --> 00:25:36,231
to become statistically
apparent?
448
00:25:36,315 --> 00:25:39,717
Go get some "for sale" signs and plaster
a couple blocks in Bensenville.
449
00:25:39,769 --> 00:25:42,320
Put them right on the edge
of each property line.
450
00:25:42,388 --> 00:25:45,407
Make sure you pick
nice houses, okay?
451
00:25:45,491 --> 00:25:48,744
Yes, channel 6.
Liz Shaw, news desk.
452
00:25:48,828 --> 00:25:50,946
Without cars in the driveway.
No cars.
453
00:25:52,448 --> 00:25:54,950
Liz, hey.
It's Kitty.
454
00:25:55,034 --> 00:25:57,369
Question:
455
00:25:57,420 --> 00:25:59,037
Have you looked at the relation
456
00:25:59,088 --> 00:26:01,840
of Bensenville's schools
to the dump site?
457
00:26:01,907 --> 00:26:04,426
It's a concern.
458
00:26:15,271 --> 00:26:19,641
Fucking socratic symposium
in here. Christ.
459
00:26:54,777 --> 00:26:56,545
Tom:
Everybody's got a button.
460
00:26:56,612 --> 00:26:58,613
Bentley: He's not going to
reveal his source, Tom.
461
00:26:58,681 --> 00:27:00,582
Let me deal with
how I get it out of him.
462
00:27:00,650 --> 00:27:02,083
But I need something to go on.
463
00:27:02,151 --> 00:27:04,252
- I didn't hear that.
- Yes, you did.
464
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,689
What do you think
we've had going here?
465
00:27:07,773 --> 00:27:09,691
I'll give you some words,
466
00:27:09,775 --> 00:27:11,693
since you're
in the business of them:
467
00:27:11,761 --> 00:27:15,430
cozy, convenient,
mutually understanding.
468
00:27:15,498 --> 00:27:17,566
You've got numbers to hit.
I've understood that,
469
00:27:17,633 --> 00:27:19,817
- Helped where I can.
- Yes, you have.
470
00:27:19,869 --> 00:27:22,237
And call me nostalgic,
but I like having.
471
00:27:22,305 --> 00:27:24,489
An actual paper in this city.
472
00:27:24,540 --> 00:27:26,958
But this where it works
its way back to me.
473
00:27:27,009 --> 00:27:29,711
Even if there was a chance
Miller would crack,
474
00:27:29,795 --> 00:27:32,347
Which he won't, it doesn't
make a difference now.
475
00:27:32,431 --> 00:27:35,417
You've got every network swarming all
over this thing round the clock.
476
00:27:35,484 --> 00:27:36,768
It makes a difference.
477
00:27:39,522 --> 00:27:41,756
I'm sorry, Tom.
478
00:27:41,824 --> 00:27:43,091
I can't help you.
479
00:27:50,466 --> 00:27:52,567
Something you should know...
480
00:27:52,652 --> 00:27:55,604
This guy has a real fucking
bee in his bonnet for you.
481
00:27:55,671 --> 00:27:57,539
And he has a tendency to take
482
00:27:57,607 --> 00:28:00,375
a real long view on things.
483
00:28:05,848 --> 00:28:07,382
Gary:
It's not done until it's done.
484
00:28:07,450 --> 00:28:10,118
Union rep: Well, I've got
guys ready to walk.
485
00:28:10,186 --> 00:28:11,703
That's all I'm gonna
tell you right now.
486
00:28:11,754 --> 00:28:13,922
Hey. Hey, guys.
487
00:28:14,006 --> 00:28:15,807
Guys, can I just get in
here for a second?
488
00:28:15,874 --> 00:28:17,559
Gary, how much are we
talking about?
489
00:28:17,643 --> 00:28:20,011
Gary: It's another $12 million
a year, give or take.
490
00:28:20,062 --> 00:28:22,847
Union rep: You guys just
issued $18 billion
491
00:28:22,899 --> 00:28:24,649
in new bonds for construction.
492
00:28:24,717 --> 00:28:26,868
How are we arguing
over $12 million
493
00:28:26,936 --> 00:28:28,603
you already promised us?
494
00:28:28,688 --> 00:28:30,822
We're talking about
people's fucking livelihoods.
495
00:28:30,889 --> 00:28:33,241
Gary: It was never a promise. That was
something we were talking about.
496
00:28:33,326 --> 00:28:35,059
It was on the table,
but it was never a promise.
497
00:28:35,111 --> 00:28:37,162
Union rep:
Well, we have to have it.
498
00:28:37,229 --> 00:28:39,347
- The people need...
499
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,655
- How's it looking?
- The man's got a point.
500
00:28:46,722 --> 00:28:49,741
- It's Thursday.
- Pushing as hard as I can.
501
00:28:49,792 --> 00:28:52,127
Have you got too much
on your plate?
502
00:28:52,194 --> 00:28:53,395
No.
503
00:28:56,415 --> 00:29:00,235
Union rep: We put the cost-of-living
increase back on the table.
504
00:29:00,303 --> 00:29:04,439
Or as of 12:01 am tonight
we're on strike.
505
00:29:04,507 --> 00:29:06,524
You know where to find me.
506
00:29:06,592 --> 00:29:09,377
Sorry about this, Gary.
507
00:29:09,445 --> 00:29:11,947
Liz Shaw: One of the major concerns
with trichloroethylene
508
00:29:12,031 --> 00:29:13,949
is the leaking of toxic gasses
509
00:29:14,033 --> 00:29:18,036
up from the water table
and into structures above.
510
00:29:18,103 --> 00:29:19,955
Though there is
no official confirmation
511
00:29:20,039 --> 00:29:22,106
on whether or not
a chemical plume exists
512
00:29:22,158 --> 00:29:23,908
in the groundwater
below Bensenville,
513
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,445
Scientists contacted
by channel 6 news posit
514
00:29:27,496 --> 00:29:28,913
There could be a potential flow
515
00:29:28,965 --> 00:29:30,948
moving underneath
a local elementary school.
516
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,335
There was no comment
from mayor Gregg's office.
517
00:29:33,419 --> 00:29:36,588
Bensenville residents
have seen trucks.
518
00:29:36,639 --> 00:29:39,174
Driving from the O'Hare
expansion site late at night.
519
00:29:39,258 --> 00:29:42,727
They never thought too much of it.
They were a trusting community.
520
00:29:42,795 --> 00:29:47,098
With this recent toxic waste
scandal, that has changed.
521
00:29:47,149 --> 00:29:49,434
- Woman: Mayor's office.
- Yeah, did you get me the numbers.
522
00:29:49,485 --> 00:29:52,354
- For the people at channel 9 and channel 12?
- Still working on it.
523
00:29:52,438 --> 00:29:54,356
- Time's up.
- Yes, ma'am.
524
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,775
The same roads
that they drive every day
525
00:29:56,826 --> 00:29:58,326
to get to work at O'Hare.
526
00:30:07,853 --> 00:30:12,540
So how long are we going
to go on like this?
527
00:30:12,625 --> 00:30:14,759
If you wanted to waste my time,
528
00:30:14,827 --> 00:30:18,179
you could have just
done it over the phone.
529
00:30:18,264 --> 00:30:20,015
It'll be just another minute.
530
00:30:20,099 --> 00:30:21,999
Yeah, you know,
I've counted those.
531
00:30:22,051 --> 00:30:24,168
We're doing good...
27 so far.
532
00:30:24,220 --> 00:30:26,337
I figure we can go
in batches of five now.
533
00:30:26,389 --> 00:30:28,390
What do you think?
534
00:30:34,864 --> 00:30:37,482
Anything said in this room
is off the record.
535
00:30:39,618 --> 00:30:41,069
In this room?
536
00:30:41,153 --> 00:30:43,371
I want a name.
537
00:30:43,456 --> 00:30:45,573
Okay.
538
00:30:45,641 --> 00:30:50,228
How about dr. Ella Harris?
539
00:30:50,296 --> 00:30:52,196
Your source...
540
00:30:52,248 --> 00:30:53,698
A name.
541
00:30:53,749 --> 00:30:56,918
How about Rosebud?
542
00:30:57,002 --> 00:31:01,589
I need to know where that
document came from, mr. Miller.
543
00:31:01,674 --> 00:31:04,709
I am a man you want
owing you a favor.
544
00:31:06,929 --> 00:31:09,831
Yeah, I don't know.
545
00:31:09,899 --> 00:31:13,068
Somehow a favor from
a disgraced former mayor.
546
00:31:13,152 --> 00:31:16,020
Just doesn't seem
that valuable to me.
547
00:31:23,395 --> 00:31:25,864
Is it true you get
migraines, sir?
548
00:31:25,915 --> 00:31:28,232
What kind of medication
did dr. Harris prescribe?
549
00:31:28,284 --> 00:31:30,418
And have you seen her?
I have so many questions.
550
00:31:30,503 --> 00:31:32,287
Yes, I know.
Thank you.
551
00:32:11,109 --> 00:32:13,795
Tom? I didn't
hear you come in.
552
00:32:13,879 --> 00:32:15,780
What are you looking for?
553
00:32:15,831 --> 00:32:16,948
Tom?
554
00:32:16,999 --> 00:32:19,784
Files from his administration,
555
00:32:19,835 --> 00:32:23,004
'85 to '92.
where the fuck are they?
556
00:32:23,088 --> 00:32:24,722
You sent for those already.
557
00:32:24,790 --> 00:32:26,791
Yesterday.
558
00:32:31,263 --> 00:32:32,430
Tom?
559
00:32:32,481 --> 00:32:34,682
Who sent for them?
560
00:32:34,767 --> 00:32:37,368
I don't know.
561
00:32:37,436 --> 00:32:39,521
Somebody who works with you.
That's what they said.
562
00:32:39,588 --> 00:32:41,739
They said that you needed them.
I thought you knew.
563
00:32:41,807 --> 00:32:43,992
- Who did you talk to?
- I... I told you...
564
00:32:44,076 --> 00:32:46,027
- Who?
- I just...
565
00:32:46,111 --> 00:32:48,079
Who the fuck did you talk to?
566
00:32:48,146 --> 00:32:49,998
I told you.
567
00:32:53,369 --> 00:32:55,286
Who?
568
00:33:27,653 --> 00:33:31,990
Uh, I appreciate
the extra effort,
569
00:33:32,041 --> 00:33:34,242
But how is it conceivable
that it ended up here?
570
00:33:34,326 --> 00:33:36,961
They did what they were told,
what you said you wanted.
571
00:33:40,082 --> 00:33:42,366
Uh, okay, sir,
572
00:33:42,418 --> 00:33:44,886
If you'll permit me,
we asked you to buy up
573
00:33:44,970 --> 00:33:47,138
a truckload of bottled
water from Bensenville,
574
00:33:47,205 --> 00:33:48,973
Not to pile it
steps from...
575
00:33:50,876 --> 00:33:53,678
And with the microscope we're
under right now... jesus.
576
00:33:53,729 --> 00:33:56,481
I don't care.
I don't care.
577
00:33:56,548 --> 00:33:58,900
I did you a favor with this.
578
00:33:58,984 --> 00:34:00,735
You don't like the way
I'm handling it,
579
00:34:00,819 --> 00:34:03,771
I can easily tell my guys to
take it all back to Bensenville.
580
00:34:03,856 --> 00:34:05,890
Wait, you could?
581
00:34:05,941 --> 00:34:07,892
Yes, absolutely.
582
00:34:07,943 --> 00:34:11,079
But I assure you, while this
may feel like something more,
583
00:34:11,163 --> 00:34:13,164
it's just a bump in the road.
584
00:34:13,231 --> 00:34:15,366
We've weathered worse.
585
00:34:15,417 --> 00:34:17,535
I'm going into a meeting
with him right now.
586
00:34:17,586 --> 00:34:20,371
I will share your concerns.
587
00:34:20,422 --> 00:34:23,007
McGantry just now,
Baine, Hofstader...
588
00:34:23,075 --> 00:34:25,126
All day I've been
talking to all of them.
589
00:34:25,210 --> 00:34:27,912
You're here again.
590
00:34:27,963 --> 00:34:29,597
Tom, stop.
591
00:34:29,682 --> 00:34:31,182
I'm dealing with it.
592
00:34:31,249 --> 00:34:33,217
Don't talk to me like
I'm the rest of them.
593
00:34:33,269 --> 00:34:36,220
- Clearly you're not.
- What's happening?
594
00:34:36,272 --> 00:34:38,439
It's on the news.
595
00:34:38,524 --> 00:34:40,141
Who's doing this to you?
596
00:34:40,225 --> 00:34:42,694
I don't know yet.
597
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,731
I don't understand
how you're handling this,
598
00:34:46,782 --> 00:34:48,866
How it's playing out there.
599
00:34:48,934 --> 00:34:51,786
It's like a team of five-year-olds
mobbing a soccer ball.
600
00:34:51,870 --> 00:34:55,540
I'll be sure to tell
the staff you said so.
601
00:34:55,607 --> 00:34:57,692
You're not going to
make it, tom.
602
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,527
Come Monday, this is over.
603
00:35:03,966 --> 00:35:05,717
What happens if it is?
604
00:35:05,784 --> 00:35:07,418
What?
605
00:35:07,469 --> 00:35:10,138
What difference does it make?
606
00:35:10,222 --> 00:35:12,824
I don't understand.
What do you mean?
607
00:35:12,891 --> 00:35:14,108
Monday.
608
00:35:14,176 --> 00:35:16,144
Four days from now.
609
00:35:18,296 --> 00:35:22,100
This, all of it...
610
00:35:22,151 --> 00:35:24,569
Gone.
611
00:35:30,292 --> 00:35:31,809
What happens?
612
00:35:33,028 --> 00:35:34,662
It can't.
613
00:35:34,730 --> 00:35:36,364
We can't.
614
00:35:36,448 --> 00:35:37,699
Why?
615
00:35:43,205 --> 00:35:46,007
This is what I do, tom...
616
00:35:46,091 --> 00:35:48,659
I protect us.
617
00:35:48,711 --> 00:35:51,996
I protect you and
everything we've built.
618
00:35:52,047 --> 00:35:55,717
From anything that can
come in our way.
619
00:35:55,801 --> 00:36:00,071
And I'm protecting you
right now when I tell you
620
00:36:00,139 --> 00:36:03,358
I don't understand you
when you talk like this.
621
00:36:03,442 --> 00:36:05,360
You have to stop.
622
00:36:05,444 --> 00:36:07,445
Or help me get
what's going on with you.
623
00:36:10,115 --> 00:36:12,633
Who leaked that document?
624
00:36:15,487 --> 00:36:18,005
Someone with access, knowledge.
625
00:36:18,073 --> 00:36:20,024
As soon as I know who,
626
00:36:20,075 --> 00:36:22,710
This will all be resolved.
627
00:36:23,946 --> 00:36:25,713
Why now?
628
00:36:25,781 --> 00:36:28,365
I don't know.
629
00:36:28,417 --> 00:36:30,334
You tell me.
630
00:36:47,152 --> 00:36:49,220
You let me know
how it turns out.
631
00:37:20,185 --> 00:37:23,554
These...
these are nothing.
632
00:37:23,605 --> 00:37:26,524
These are just some...
some... some...
633
00:37:26,591 --> 00:37:28,359
It's all right.
634
00:37:28,426 --> 00:37:30,194
I'm here.
635
00:37:30,262 --> 00:37:32,429
Everything's going to be fine.
636
00:37:35,451 --> 00:37:39,020
Meredith,
637
00:37:39,087 --> 00:37:40,655
I'm sick.
638
00:37:42,090 --> 00:37:43,607
Oh.
639
00:37:43,659 --> 00:37:45,042
Come.
640
00:37:46,628 --> 00:37:49,446
Oh. Oh, it's okay.
641
00:38:30,422 --> 00:38:32,874
From what I can tell,
this is a copy of the report.
642
00:38:32,958 --> 00:38:34,892
Before the official
version went out,
643
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,761
Hence the redactions.
644
00:38:42,718 --> 00:38:44,886
I know it's been a long time.
645
00:38:47,389 --> 00:38:49,307
People are still getting sick.
646
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,151
Dr. Reyes,
I can't imagine
647
00:39:00,202 --> 00:39:03,321
what sort of burden you've been carrying
around with you all these years,
648
00:39:03,372 --> 00:39:06,541
But if you've ever wanted to
lay it down, now is the time.
649
00:39:35,437 --> 00:39:38,022
Female reporter: Mayor Gregg's
administration confirmed today
650
00:39:38,073 --> 00:39:40,241
that Bensenville has received
a large quantity
651
00:39:40,325 --> 00:39:43,227
of bottled water
donated from mayor Tom Kane...
652
00:39:43,278 --> 00:39:45,413
Male reporter: ...
Have been overwhelmed with patients
653
00:39:45,497 --> 00:39:47,748
concerned about exposure
to trichloroethylene...
654
00:39:47,833 --> 00:39:50,618
Male reporter #2: Parents of students
at nearby McGuire elementary
655
00:39:50,702 --> 00:39:53,921
are concerned that the location of the
school puts them in great danger.
656
00:39:54,006 --> 00:39:56,090
Male reporter #3: The mayor's office
continues to deflect requests.
657
00:39:56,174 --> 00:39:58,909
They produce documentation
proving former mayor Rutledge
658
00:39:58,961 --> 00:40:02,096
ordered the disposal
of the toxic waste which...
659
00:40:02,180 --> 00:40:04,298
- We'll get 'em.
- How much do the people dumping our waste
660
00:40:04,383 --> 00:40:06,968
really know about its contents
and possible toxicity?
661
00:40:07,052 --> 00:40:10,771
We will provide you all the information
we can as it becomes available
662
00:40:10,839 --> 00:40:13,190
in what is shaping up
to be another long week.
663
00:40:13,258 --> 00:40:15,059
of protracted negotiations.
664
00:40:15,110 --> 00:40:17,445
Between the baggage handlers'
union and O'Hare airport,
665
00:40:17,529 --> 00:40:19,697
The sudden announcement today
of a strike action by the union.
666
00:40:19,764 --> 00:40:22,366
Means travelers can now expect to
wait an average of 33 minutes
667
00:40:22,434 --> 00:40:23,985
longer than usual for
their luggage.
668
00:40:24,069 --> 00:40:25,653
We go now to Jane Hayes
in Bensenville.
669
00:40:25,737 --> 00:40:28,406
In Bensenville, the suddenness
of the strike action
670
00:40:28,457 --> 00:40:31,442
has left many reeling
in this one-industry town,
671
00:40:31,493 --> 00:40:35,196
adding additional woe
to an already hard-hit populace.
672
00:40:35,263 --> 00:40:37,064
Real shame
it had to come to this.
673
00:40:37,132 --> 00:40:39,433
We gave them pretty much
everything they asked for,
674
00:40:39,501 --> 00:40:41,869
but sometimes you need to put
your foot down, you know?
675
00:40:41,937 --> 00:40:43,938
Well, do you have anything
you'd like to say
676
00:40:44,006 --> 00:40:45,373
to the management at O'Hare?
677
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,925
Yeah. We can hold out
as long as it takes.
678
00:40:47,976 --> 00:40:49,977
Until we get what we deserve,
679
00:40:50,062 --> 00:40:51,929
- What we were promised.
- Wait.
680
00:40:51,980 --> 00:40:55,149
What about the travelers who may
be affected by your strike?
681
00:40:55,233 --> 00:40:57,435
Well, I am sorry about that.
682
00:40:57,486 --> 00:40:59,854
I know that can be
a real hassle.
683
00:40:59,938 --> 00:41:02,806
But I would like them to think
about their own family,
684
00:41:02,858 --> 00:41:05,476
You know, and what it means to
be able to provide for 'em.
685
00:41:05,527 --> 00:41:08,629
And really there's nowhere
I'd rather be right now.
686
00:41:08,697 --> 00:41:11,866
Than with my kids, you know.
687
00:41:11,950 --> 00:41:14,085
It's like the end of days
out here.
688
00:41:14,152 --> 00:41:16,504
You can't drink the water.
689
00:41:16,588 --> 00:41:20,091
There's toxic gas
in the schools.
690
00:41:20,158 --> 00:41:22,176
I'm glad I can be home.
691
00:41:22,260 --> 00:41:24,628
To make sure we're safe.
692
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,465
Male reporter: Baggage handlers'
union officials will determine...
693
00:41:34,773 --> 00:41:37,224
They'll be back to work
on Monday.
694
00:41:39,528 --> 00:41:42,196
How did you know that that
guy was going to say that?
695
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,031
I didn't.
696
00:41:47,319 --> 00:41:49,203
But people always
remember what they see.
697
00:41:49,287 --> 00:41:50,988
With their hearts
and not their heads.
698
00:41:51,039 --> 00:41:53,824
And a guy like that... apply
the right kind of pressure,
699
00:41:53,875 --> 00:41:55,826
Nine times out of 10.
700
00:41:55,877 --> 00:41:58,862
He will break your heart
701
00:41:58,914 --> 00:42:00,715
and put a face
to this whole thing.
702
00:42:00,799 --> 00:42:02,049
Yeah.
703
00:42:09,391 --> 00:42:11,475
Should I put in a call
to Gregg's office?
704
00:42:16,681 --> 00:42:19,734
Kitty and Moretti are there now,
working on press availability.
705
00:42:19,818 --> 00:42:21,402
They contact
Gregg's people yet?
706
00:42:21,486 --> 00:42:23,154
No need.
707
00:42:29,194 --> 00:42:30,394
Chuck.
708
00:42:30,445 --> 00:42:32,513
Hi, Tom. Thanks for
taking my call.
709
00:42:32,581 --> 00:42:34,365
How are you holding up?
710
00:42:34,416 --> 00:42:36,984
Well, I just wanted to call and
thank you and the city of Chicago
711
00:42:37,052 --> 00:42:39,003
for those pallets of water
you sent over.
712
00:42:39,070 --> 00:42:41,288
Had a hell of a time getting
them off my front lawn
713
00:42:41,373 --> 00:42:43,174
and to the folks who need them,
714
00:42:43,241 --> 00:42:46,243
but what's one more adventure
in a week like this, right?
715
00:42:46,294 --> 00:42:49,296
Indeed.
716
00:42:49,381 --> 00:42:51,348
Like I said
the other day, Chuck,
717
00:42:51,416 --> 00:42:53,100
We are here for you,
whatever it takes.
718
00:42:53,185 --> 00:42:55,252
You did say that, yes.
719
00:42:55,303 --> 00:42:57,254
You know, you mentioned
some idea
720
00:42:57,305 --> 00:43:00,107
for some sort of joint
press event and, well...
721
00:43:00,192 --> 00:43:01,758
Yes, I remember.
722
00:43:01,810 --> 00:43:03,811
Well, Tom, we could use something
like that down here,
723
00:43:03,895 --> 00:43:06,430
The sooner the better. My team
would take care of the details.
724
00:43:06,481 --> 00:43:08,149
Wouldn't take up
much of your time.
725
00:43:08,233 --> 00:43:09,900
I'm sure we can
work something out.
726
00:43:09,951 --> 00:43:11,152
Yes, sir.
727
00:43:11,236 --> 00:43:12,870
And listen,
while I have you...
728
00:43:12,937 --> 00:43:14,572
You've been so
incredibly generous.
729
00:43:14,623 --> 00:43:16,056
I hate to even bring this up.
730
00:43:16,124 --> 00:43:18,042
Speak your mind.
731
00:43:18,109 --> 00:43:20,494
There's still an incredible amount of
research and testing to be done...
732
00:43:20,562 --> 00:43:22,663
Determining which wells
are contaminated.
733
00:43:22,747 --> 00:43:24,582
And whether or not
this supposed plume
734
00:43:24,633 --> 00:43:26,634
the press seems so concerned
about even exists,
735
00:43:26,718 --> 00:43:28,969
but at an absolute minimum.
736
00:43:29,054 --> 00:43:31,088
We're gonna have to connect
a couple hundred homes
737
00:43:31,139 --> 00:43:33,090
to the municipal water supply.
738
00:43:33,141 --> 00:43:34,958
And, well,
I was hoping that maybe...
739
00:43:35,010 --> 00:43:38,179
Ooh, sounds like
one hell of an undertaking.
740
00:43:38,263 --> 00:43:40,564
Well, yes, it is.
It most certainly is.
741
00:43:40,632 --> 00:43:44,018
I hope you'll be accepting bids
from contractors here in Chicago.
742
00:43:44,102 --> 00:43:46,520
Oh, of course.
Absolutely.
743
00:43:46,605 --> 00:43:48,439
But unfortunately we don't have
744
00:43:48,490 --> 00:43:50,241
the general funds
for this sort of thing and...
745
00:43:50,308 --> 00:43:53,294
Maybe we'd better cross that bridge
a little further down the road.
746
00:43:53,361 --> 00:43:55,396
Yes, sir.
747
00:43:56,798 --> 00:43:57,998
Thank you, Chuck.
748
00:43:58,083 --> 00:43:59,533
Mr. Mayor.
749
00:44:18,803 --> 00:44:21,021
You're lucky you got
your mother's hands.
750
00:44:21,106 --> 00:44:24,174
Fat fingers,
751
00:44:24,226 --> 00:44:25,893
Can't handle
child-proof caps.
752
00:44:28,513 --> 00:44:30,781
Well, I can get you
whatever you need.
753
00:44:32,767 --> 00:44:34,201
Thank you.
754
00:44:43,211 --> 00:44:45,346
I'm... I'm sorry.
755
00:44:45,413 --> 00:44:47,364
For what you're going
through right now.
756
00:44:49,618 --> 00:44:52,836
Occupational hazard,
nothing new.
757
00:44:52,888 --> 00:44:55,422
Dad,
758
00:44:55,507 --> 00:44:57,808
I'm sorry.
759
00:46:08,296 --> 00:46:11,882
Mr. Mayor, I want to thank
you for coming here today,
760
00:46:11,949 --> 00:46:15,753
To stand with me in assuring the residents
of Bensenville that our community is safe.
761
00:46:15,804 --> 00:46:18,305
It's a pleasure
to do it, mr. Mayor.
762
00:46:18,390 --> 00:46:20,140
- Shall we?
- Yes.
763
00:46:30,018 --> 00:46:30,851
Ah.
764
00:46:36,107 --> 00:46:37,608
Ah.
765
00:46:39,527 --> 00:46:41,978
We're all very grateful to
mayor Kane's administration.
766
00:46:42,030 --> 00:46:44,948
Now I can't speak to what
happened here 20 years ago,
767
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,618
But I do know that Tom Kane has
been a great ally of mine
768
00:46:47,669 --> 00:46:49,286
and the citizens
of Bensenville.
769
00:46:49,337 --> 00:46:51,505
Our offices have been
coordinating for months,
770
00:46:51,589 --> 00:46:53,540
trying to clean up
this dump site quietly.
771
00:46:53,625 --> 00:46:56,126
In order to avoid just this
sort of unfounded panic.
772
00:46:56,177 --> 00:46:58,796
And when, in the midst
of all the mayhem
773
00:46:58,847 --> 00:47:00,297
and hardship, many others lost
774
00:47:00,348 --> 00:47:02,466
their heads and their hearts,
775
00:47:02,534 --> 00:47:05,586
Tom Kane personally stepped up.
776
00:47:05,653 --> 00:47:09,456
To offer help,
his compassion, his advice.
777
00:47:09,524 --> 00:47:13,560
And, most importantly,
his friendship.
778
00:47:13,628 --> 00:47:15,329
Thank you.
779
00:47:15,397 --> 00:47:17,331
You squint at this right,
780
00:47:17,399 --> 00:47:19,450
You come out looking
like a hero.
781
00:47:19,517 --> 00:47:22,536
- The site.
- We're nearing the end of the cleanup process, sir.
782
00:47:22,604 --> 00:47:24,872
I'll confirm, but I think we have
another week of work out there.
783
00:47:24,956 --> 00:47:26,824
We should probably
start talking about.
784
00:47:26,875 --> 00:47:28,542
How to handle it
when it's done.
785
00:47:35,216 --> 00:47:37,851
Statement.
I will not be taking questions.
786
00:47:39,521 --> 00:47:43,474
12 years ago I led
a team of researchers.
787
00:47:43,541 --> 00:47:45,759
At Chicago children's memorial.
788
00:47:45,827 --> 00:47:48,712
We were commissioned to conduct
a two-year report.
789
00:47:48,763 --> 00:47:50,898
About the grounds
at O'Hare adjunct.
790
00:47:50,982 --> 00:47:53,717
By the city council's committee
on health and welfare
791
00:47:53,768 --> 00:47:57,287
our results determined
conclusively
792
00:47:57,355 --> 00:47:59,273
That there was a direct link
793
00:47:59,340 --> 00:48:02,676
between elevated levels of
trichloroethylene in the soil
794
00:48:02,744 --> 00:48:05,412
and statistically abnormal
incidences
795
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,414
of cancer and liver disease
796
00:48:07,482 --> 00:48:09,383
in children at the local
municipality.
797
00:48:09,451 --> 00:48:12,553
Shortly before the report
was submitted,
798
00:48:12,620 --> 00:48:15,589
I was approached by a member
of mayor Kane's staff
799
00:48:15,657 --> 00:48:19,009
and told in no uncertain terms
800
00:48:19,076 --> 00:48:21,528
that any reference
to trichloroethylene
801
00:48:21,596 --> 00:48:24,882
was to be redacted
from the report.
802
00:48:24,933 --> 00:48:29,186
I could have stood strong,
but I did not.
803
00:48:29,253 --> 00:48:31,588
Alongside mayor kane,
I did wrong.
804
00:48:31,639 --> 00:48:35,342
I was party
to perpetrating a fraud.
805
00:48:35,410 --> 00:48:38,011
I have carried this burden,
806
00:48:38,079 --> 00:48:40,614
but no more.
807
00:48:40,682 --> 00:48:44,234
It is time that we all
take responsibility
808
00:48:44,285 --> 00:48:46,703
for the crimes
we have committed.
809
00:48:46,771 --> 00:48:48,906
Thank you very much.
810
00:48:48,973 --> 00:48:50,741
Reporters:
Dr. Reyes! Dr. Reyes!
811
00:48:50,792 --> 00:48:53,127
Female reporter: What did mayor
Kane give you in return?
812
00:49:03,054 --> 00:49:05,923
It's the weakest he's been
since he took office.
813
00:49:05,974 --> 00:49:07,841
15 years, I've never
seen him this vulnerable.
814
00:49:07,926 --> 00:49:10,194
The chance is now.
We can't afford to blow it.
815
00:49:10,261 --> 00:49:12,462
This isn't about the primary.
816
00:49:12,514 --> 00:49:14,464
If Kane stays in office,
817
00:49:14,516 --> 00:49:17,067
the next governor,
whoever he or she may be,
818
00:49:17,134 --> 00:49:19,186
will continue to be
under his thumb,
819
00:49:19,270 --> 00:49:21,605
business as usual.
820
00:49:21,656 --> 00:49:24,491
The city's run by one man
who answers to no one.
821
00:49:24,576 --> 00:49:27,077
The rest of us are too scared
to lose our contracts,
822
00:49:27,144 --> 00:49:29,145
or worse...
our next election.
823
00:49:29,197 --> 00:49:31,815
The council's a kennel.
824
00:49:31,866 --> 00:49:33,817
And we're left
begging for scraps.
825
00:49:33,868 --> 00:49:36,937
And we've been doing it
Kane's way for so long now,
826
00:49:37,005 --> 00:49:39,489
Most folks have forgotten
there are other options.
827
00:49:39,541 --> 00:49:41,324
But there are options.
828
00:49:41,376 --> 00:49:43,326
And is it betrayal.
829
00:49:43,378 --> 00:49:45,662
To stop him
by any means necessary
830
00:49:45,713 --> 00:49:47,831
when he himself has
betrayed every covenant
831
00:49:47,882 --> 00:49:50,350
that should hold between a leader
and those who elected him?
832
00:49:50,435 --> 00:49:52,019
I'm not gonna tell you
a fairy tale.
833
00:49:52,086 --> 00:49:54,838
About speaking to the better
angels of this fine city,
834
00:49:54,889 --> 00:49:56,957
Offering them hope, not fear.
835
00:49:57,025 --> 00:50:00,677
All of that is your
business with them out there.
836
00:50:00,728 --> 00:50:01,862
But what I can tell you
837
00:50:01,946 --> 00:50:05,098
is that Tom Kane is finished.
838
00:50:05,166 --> 00:50:07,401
We're gonna see to it
that he is.
839
00:50:07,485 --> 00:50:09,403
And someone new will come along.
840
00:50:09,487 --> 00:50:11,138
With fresh ideas,
841
00:50:11,206 --> 00:50:14,291
a leader who maybe can find.
842
00:50:14,358 --> 00:50:16,693
better ways to do things.
843
00:50:18,496 --> 00:50:20,414
This is not a story
844
00:50:20,498 --> 00:50:22,699
that can be told from
the governor's mansion.
845
00:50:22,750 --> 00:50:24,685
A year from now.
846
00:50:24,752 --> 00:50:27,187
The mayor runs for reelection.
847
00:50:27,255 --> 00:50:29,189
Drop out of the governor's race.
848
00:50:29,257 --> 00:50:32,292
And next year you'll have the
organizational support you need
849
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,962
to take him on
and take him down.
850
00:50:35,029 --> 00:50:37,814
The men in this room
can guarantee you 27 wards.
851
00:50:37,882 --> 00:50:39,967
When the others see which
way the wind is blowing,
852
00:50:40,034 --> 00:50:43,020
they'll be right there
beside you.
853
00:50:46,057 --> 00:50:47,824
Hey, I thought
you two jitterbugs...
854
00:50:47,892 --> 00:50:49,526
- Come here, little man.
- Sorry.
855
00:50:51,663 --> 00:50:53,530
- Hey, go on now.
- Come on, let's go.
856
00:50:53,581 --> 00:50:56,166
- Let's go.
- Hey, I'll tuck you in in a minute now. Go on.
857
00:51:00,788 --> 00:51:03,874
If we're gonna move on this,
we have to do it soon.
858
00:51:03,925 --> 00:51:07,094
Timing is everything.
859
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,178
So?
860
00:51:25,246 --> 00:51:26,747
What do you say?66944
