Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:36,340
Mel, can I get you to proof this?
2
00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:39,060
Mel, which one?
3
00:01:39,140 --> 00:01:41,020
This one.
4
00:01:44,460 --> 00:01:45,980
Come on, people...
5
00:01:46,060 --> 00:01:48,020
What have you done for me lately?
6
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:51,340
Overnights, Mel,
read them and weep!
7
00:01:51,685 --> 00:01:54,521
Where's Boise? I don't see Boise.
8
00:01:54,568 --> 00:01:57,013
Where's Pakistan? Come on!
9
00:01:57,091 --> 00:01:59,210
Mel baby, you're going
to just love today.
10
00:01:59,241 --> 00:02:00,733
I better, Alan.
11
00:02:01,733 --> 00:02:03,490
I don't see much team work!
12
00:02:03,694 --> 00:02:05,129
Caroline, my coffee is cold.
13
00:02:05,154 --> 00:02:07,772
"We tell ourselves
we are after the truth."
14
00:02:08,115 --> 00:02:10,355
"We tell ourselves we deal in facts."
15
00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:11,659
"And yet for those of us...
16
00:02:11,684 --> 00:02:13,777
who've been in my business
long enough...
17
00:02:13,934 --> 00:02:16,824
we're haunted by the realization
that the facts alone...
18
00:02:16,989 --> 00:02:18,369
don't always lead to the truth."
19
00:02:18,394 --> 00:02:20,176
From the White House
after the speech, okay?
20
00:02:20,285 --> 00:02:21,043
No spin!
21
00:02:21,355 --> 00:02:23,754
Do not tolerate any spin
what so ever...
22
00:02:24,410 --> 00:02:25,988
Where's Boise?
23
00:02:26,846 --> 00:02:29,939
"Like most of the really important
stories we covered, this one...
24
00:02:30,308 --> 00:02:34,088
the biggest armed confrontation
in America since the Civil War...
25
00:02:34,292 --> 00:02:36,917
started with seemingly
unrelated incidence...
26
00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:39,180
that had first been
almost unnoticed...
27
00:02:39,260 --> 00:02:41,189
and then spun out of control."
28
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:45,220
Most of you know, Governor Farleys
on his way back from Washington...
29
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:48,672
he'll be addressing you at some point
later today or tomorrow.
30
00:02:49,344 --> 00:02:50,055
However...
31
00:02:50,460 --> 00:02:54,320
he has authorized me to make
this statement on his behalf.
32
00:02:55,253 --> 00:02:56,500
"Effective immediately...
33
00:02:57,034 --> 00:02:59,128
the State of Idaho
is closing it's borders...
34
00:02:59,784 --> 00:03:02,300
if necessary, by the use of force."
35
00:03:03,036 --> 00:03:04,515
"I have ordered our state troopers...
36
00:03:04,540 --> 00:03:06,184
to set up check-points
on the boarders."
37
00:03:06,653 --> 00:03:09,105
"And no one will be allowed in
without authorization...
38
00:03:09,130 --> 00:03:10,580
from the Idaho authorities."
39
00:03:10,660 --> 00:03:12,716
"There will be no questions
at this time."
40
00:03:13,614 --> 00:03:15,167
He's closing the borders, people.
41
00:03:15,192 --> 00:03:17,277
Thank God for arrogance,
lust and greed...
42
00:03:17,302 --> 00:03:18,912
or we'd all be doing infomercials.
43
00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:21,209
Let's go people,
I smell a twenty share!
44
00:03:21,318 --> 00:03:24,115
Where the hell is Pakistan?
Where's the White House?
45
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:26,820
Do we still have a White House
or has Tokyo foreclosed on it?
46
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:30,260
- Coming up!
- We'll return to Boise momentarily.
47
00:03:30,568 --> 00:03:35,028
"Meanwhile, developments in Pakistan
are continuing as more orphans...
48
00:03:35,053 --> 00:03:37,598
are being assembled
for the flight to America."
49
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:42,067
"It is now thirty eight days
since the event that started it all."
50
00:03:43,612 --> 00:03:45,438
"The nuclear explosion
from the Indian missiles...
51
00:03:45,463 --> 00:03:49,149
that devastated over ten thousand
square miles of the area...
52
00:03:49,174 --> 00:03:52,214
around the Pakistani Capitol
of Islamabad."
53
00:03:53,621 --> 00:03:56,447
"At the Peshaware airport
in Northern Pakistan...
54
00:03:56,472 --> 00:03:58,675
the first of several plane
loads of children...
55
00:03:58,700 --> 00:04:01,723
orphaned by the atomic blast,
is preparing to leave."
56
00:04:02,067 --> 00:04:04,208
"Destination: Twin Falls, Idaho."
57
00:04:04,575 --> 00:04:07,892
"The rescue mission is under
the supervision of Amelia Sims...
58
00:04:07,917 --> 00:04:11,017
head of the controversial,
Give to the Children Corporation."
59
00:04:11,460 --> 00:04:13,620
"However, as we've just reported...
60
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:16,980
Governor Farley has closed
the border of that state."
61
00:04:17,471 --> 00:04:18,970
"As politicians maneuver...
62
00:04:18,995 --> 00:04:20,799
behind the scenes
to avoid a crisis...
63
00:04:21,081 --> 00:04:24,180
a confrontation seems
increasingly inevitable."
64
00:04:24,660 --> 00:04:26,127
"The governors press secretary...
65
00:04:26,152 --> 00:04:28,064
has said that no one
will be allowed in...
66
00:04:28,089 --> 00:04:29,807
without permission
from the Idaho authorities..."
67
00:04:29,832 --> 00:04:30,800
Jesus Christ!
68
00:04:31,464 --> 00:04:34,301
The country's becoming un-glued
and the bird goes down!
69
00:04:34,473 --> 00:04:36,180
It's not off the satellite
we got Bombay...
70
00:04:36,260 --> 00:04:37,980
- off the same bird.
- I don't care what it is, okay.
71
00:04:38,005 --> 00:04:40,820
I want the orphans.
72
00:04:40,845 --> 00:04:42,505
Can't do it, we're losing them.
73
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:49,151
Go to the White House.
Go ahead. Go!
74
00:04:49,745 --> 00:04:52,830
"We apologize
for the technical difficulties."
75
00:04:53,838 --> 00:04:56,423
"Steven Kingsley is standing
by at the White House...
76
00:04:56,448 --> 00:04:57,460
with a live report."
77
00:04:58,138 --> 00:05:01,121
Helena, Matthew,
we've just seen an indication...
78
00:05:01,146 --> 00:05:03,724
of the way the White House
is handling these events.
79
00:05:04,020 --> 00:05:06,552
"When Jack Buchan,
high powered lobbyist...
80
00:05:06,577 --> 00:05:10,036
and unofficial Public Relations
advisor to the President...
81
00:05:10,061 --> 00:05:13,458
arrived here as President
of Cathers and Hilton...
82
00:05:13,483 --> 00:05:15,908
the huge Washington P.R. firm."
83
00:05:16,041 --> 00:05:18,377
"Buchan is not a member
of the Cabinet...
84
00:05:18,658 --> 00:05:21,102
but in times of extreme crisis...
85
00:05:21,127 --> 00:05:23,431
he is often seen
around the White House."
86
00:05:24,736 --> 00:05:26,048
So, what do the polls say?
87
00:05:26,392 --> 00:05:29,141
Fifty two percent
are in favor of strong action.
88
00:05:29,235 --> 00:05:31,953
There is no other kind,
Idaho will be stopped.
89
00:05:32,383 --> 00:05:34,969
- I want those orphans in there.
- Yes, sir.
90
00:05:35,235 --> 00:05:36,578
What do the polls show in Florida?
91
00:05:36,620 --> 00:05:38,300
Florida was the swing vote
in the last election.
92
00:05:38,380 --> 00:05:41,868
In Florida only thirty eight percent
are in favor of strong action...
93
00:05:42,072 --> 00:05:44,533
and most of them are over
the age of seventy five.
94
00:05:44,572 --> 00:05:45,884
Statistically...
95
00:05:45,915 --> 00:05:48,666
most of them will be dead
before the next election.
96
00:05:49,020 --> 00:05:50,737
Dead supporters are the worst.
97
00:05:50,783 --> 00:05:52,110
I mean, they take up
a ton of your time...
98
00:05:52,135 --> 00:05:54,236
and then where the hell
are they when you need them?
99
00:05:55,478 --> 00:05:58,291
Shit. So, what do we do?
100
00:05:58,510 --> 00:06:02,188
Sometimes,
the best action is no action.
101
00:06:02,524 --> 00:06:04,740
Well, nobody believes in action
more than I do, Mike.
102
00:06:05,180 --> 00:06:06,900
Mr. President.
103
00:06:07,780 --> 00:06:10,085
I think the answer is to move
the whole damn thing up...
104
00:06:10,110 --> 00:06:11,681
to a new paradigm, like...
105
00:06:12,189 --> 00:06:15,509
I'm talking about moving it
onto the image level.
106
00:06:16,188 --> 00:06:18,078
Now, that's my business,
I know image.
107
00:06:18,980 --> 00:06:20,561
And the great thing
about image is that...
108
00:06:20,586 --> 00:06:23,620
you look like you're doing
something strong...
109
00:06:23,974 --> 00:06:25,500
but you don't necessarily do it.
110
00:06:25,779 --> 00:06:29,240
That way, they nail you and...
There's nothing to hit.
111
00:06:30,318 --> 00:06:31,232
And?
112
00:06:31,490 --> 00:06:33,835
I got them!
Mel, I got them back.
113
00:06:34,540 --> 00:06:36,216
The first plane load
of orphans is in the air.
114
00:06:36,241 --> 00:06:37,660
It's the one we put Tony Phillips on.
115
00:06:37,740 --> 00:06:39,599
But they may have to make
an emergency landing somewhere.
116
00:06:39,624 --> 00:06:40,660
What do you mean emergency land...
117
00:06:40,927 --> 00:06:42,367
Get Phillips on the horn, please.
118
00:06:42,404 --> 00:06:44,349
What is our 20 at JFK, please?
119
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,448
Keep them out of the bathroom!
You cannot have...
120
00:06:49,473 --> 00:06:51,473
"Tony what the hell's
going on up there?"
121
00:06:51,886 --> 00:06:54,378
Mell, for Christ sake,
I got no control over it.
122
00:06:55,039 --> 00:06:57,399
We got a plane full of orphans...
123
00:06:57,846 --> 00:06:59,566
and the toilets
have stopped working, okay.
124
00:06:59,652 --> 00:07:00,487
- "So what?"
- Look...
125
00:07:00,512 --> 00:07:03,715
we just have to land in Newfoundland
just for a few hours to fix it.
126
00:07:03,824 --> 00:07:04,564
"Tony?"
127
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,739
Let me ask you something,
do you want to land at JFK...
128
00:07:07,764 --> 00:07:09,948
in the middle of the afternoon
when nobody is watching...
129
00:07:09,973 --> 00:07:12,144
and maybe get a 1.2 share?
130
00:07:12,277 --> 00:07:15,823
Or do you want to land at JFK
primetime in the morning...
131
00:07:15,848 --> 00:07:18,183
and perhaps garner a 28 share?
132
00:07:18,208 --> 00:07:19,629
"What you want, Tony?"
133
00:07:19,654 --> 00:07:22,254
Mel, I'm telling you,
this is a flying planeload of shit!
134
00:07:22,540 --> 00:07:28,004
"Tony, this is the biggest story
in the last half of the century...
135
00:07:28,029 --> 00:07:30,012
and you are
the human side of it, okay?"
136
00:07:30,037 --> 00:07:32,357
So, whatever you have to do
to keep those kids up there...
137
00:07:32,382 --> 00:07:34,835
stick a cork up their asses,
you do it.
138
00:07:34,860 --> 00:07:36,888
- Do you understand? What?
- Hey, Mel!
139
00:07:36,966 --> 00:07:38,218
Idaho is coming.
140
00:07:38,577 --> 00:07:41,452
We apologize again
for the technical difficulties.
141
00:07:41,647 --> 00:07:43,475
We'll return
to the orphans remaining...
142
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:46,235
at the Pakistan airport
for their flight to America.
143
00:07:46,260 --> 00:07:49,539
Excuse me, Helena.
We have just received word that...
144
00:07:49,564 --> 00:07:53,072
Governor Farley will be returning
to the State House momentarily.
145
00:07:53,220 --> 00:07:56,878
And as you know the Governor expected
to make some sort of statement...
146
00:07:56,903 --> 00:07:58,513
within the next twenty-four hours.
147
00:07:58,723 --> 00:08:01,277
"And he's certainly
one of the more controversial...
148
00:08:01,302 --> 00:08:02,669
governor's in this country."
149
00:08:02,801 --> 00:08:06,073
"Once known for his liberal views
Jim Farley has been criticized...
150
00:08:06,098 --> 00:08:08,755
for playing
to State's conservative majority."
151
00:08:09,161 --> 00:08:11,777
"And indeed, Governor Farleys
approval ratings have jumped...
152
00:08:11,802 --> 00:08:13,590
twelve percentage points...
153
00:08:13,615 --> 00:08:17,004
since he adopted his bold
anti-immigration stance...
154
00:08:17,029 --> 00:08:19,692
an outgrowth of his successful
reelection campaign...
155
00:08:19,717 --> 00:08:22,569
which played to a theme
that still resonates today."
156
00:08:22,686 --> 00:08:24,787
"America. As it should be."
157
00:08:26,863 --> 00:08:29,983
"Governor Farley has just arrived
on the steps of the Capital."
158
00:08:30,220 --> 00:08:32,500
"Let's switch there now.
Live."
159
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,999
Okay, line up the reacts
from the White House.
160
00:08:44,024 --> 00:08:46,650
Tell Kingsley to get the President!
161
00:08:47,140 --> 00:08:49,260
Get the President,
like in send out a search party?
162
00:08:49,340 --> 00:08:51,689
- Correct.
- Who's got Christina Fernandez?
163
00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:53,400
Christina?
164
00:08:55,627 --> 00:08:56,611
Yes.
165
00:08:57,340 --> 00:09:02,133
The universe shall unfold
as it does, ladies and gentlemen.
166
00:09:02,158 --> 00:09:03,895
Governor!
167
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,747
- Alan?
- Govenor, answer the question...
168
00:09:05,772 --> 00:09:10,161
Alan, I could hardly hear you.
The balloon's going up.
169
00:09:10,186 --> 00:09:13,035
"I know. You'll be hearing from me
soon on the matter."
170
00:09:13,060 --> 00:09:14,060
"Yes, you will."
171
00:09:14,085 --> 00:09:15,623
This is what it comes down to.
172
00:09:15,648 --> 00:09:18,260
One guy controls the fate
of the whole damn country?
173
00:09:18,578 --> 00:09:20,555
You've all been very understanding.
174
00:09:20,580 --> 00:09:24,261
Yes, tomorrow. Guaranteed.
175
00:09:30,075 --> 00:09:32,566
My life is out of control.
176
00:09:32,591 --> 00:09:35,698
Christ,
she hardly acknowledges I'm alive.
177
00:09:35,723 --> 00:09:37,763
You saw her out there,
it's like I'm a goddamn window...
178
00:09:37,788 --> 00:09:38,940
she looked right through me!
179
00:09:39,020 --> 00:09:40,580
But Governor, I don't know
if this is really the time...
180
00:09:40,660 --> 00:09:42,700
to let her be getting
to you like this. I mean...
181
00:09:42,780 --> 00:09:43,980
What the hell is it with women?
182
00:09:44,005 --> 00:09:45,555
Christ. Doesn't going to bed...
183
00:09:45,580 --> 00:09:47,965
and fucking your brains out
mean anything anymore?
184
00:09:48,372 --> 00:09:50,370
Well, Governor,
I can get the State Troopers...
185
00:09:50,395 --> 00:09:52,180
to cut you another one out
of the heard.
186
00:09:52,860 --> 00:09:54,401
There's plenty
of cocktail waitresses...
187
00:09:54,426 --> 00:09:55,835
you ain't been through down there
at the Frontier Lounge.
188
00:09:55,860 --> 00:09:57,191
I want Christina.
189
00:09:57,500 --> 00:10:00,180
What is it with her?
She knows I can't leave my wife.
190
00:10:00,449 --> 00:10:02,291
Well, Governor,
you got a crisis to handle...
191
00:10:02,316 --> 00:10:04,244
and she knows damn well you do.
192
00:10:04,269 --> 00:10:07,064
That's the problem with women
they never listen to reason.
193
00:10:07,089 --> 00:10:09,860
"It's your fault!"
194
00:10:10,433 --> 00:10:12,020
Governor,
the White House just called.
195
00:10:12,045 --> 00:10:14,933
Goddammit, get the hell out of here.
This is important.
196
00:10:16,870 --> 00:10:18,894
Close the damn door!
197
00:10:19,628 --> 00:10:20,740
The White House...
198
00:10:21,214 --> 00:10:22,245
Look, Governor...
199
00:10:22,511 --> 00:10:24,347
I'll see what I can do to get
her thinking straight again.
200
00:10:24,784 --> 00:10:26,469
But right now you got
to get yourself ready...
201
00:10:26,494 --> 00:10:28,557
to go out there in front of
the whole damn country tomorrow.
202
00:10:29,096 --> 00:10:31,586
Politics is just another form of sex.
203
00:10:32,305 --> 00:10:33,805
You know that, don't you?
204
00:10:35,980 --> 00:10:37,795
- Jim, I need you to do...
- Mel, I just got through...
205
00:10:37,820 --> 00:10:39,460
to Tony Phillips,
I'm going to go out to JFK...
206
00:10:39,485 --> 00:10:40,701
and meet the plane in the morning.
207
00:10:40,896 --> 00:10:42,006
I need you here.
208
00:10:42,115 --> 00:10:43,895
Yeah, but I'd do better
work out there.
209
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,489
Jim, I don't want
better work, alright?
210
00:10:46,514 --> 00:10:48,554
I need
grab-them-by-the-throat news.
211
00:10:48,835 --> 00:10:52,835
Alright? Haven't you noticed ethics
and taste are passe, history...
212
00:10:52,860 --> 00:10:55,591
- this is not the '90s anymore, Jim.
- Mel, you're living proof of it.
213
00:10:55,616 --> 00:10:58,490
- Tony Phillips is holding on line 5.
- You know something?
214
00:10:58,515 --> 00:11:01,013
I hold you responsible
for my predicament.
215
00:11:01,038 --> 00:11:03,795
Let me explain,
when I was in J school...
216
00:11:03,820 --> 00:11:05,663
I used to watch you on ABC
and I'd say...
217
00:11:05,688 --> 00:11:08,420
"Look at that dignity and class."
218
00:11:08,445 --> 00:11:10,911
"Maybe you could be in news
without being a cynical cog...
219
00:11:10,936 --> 00:11:13,380
in some son of a bitch
corporate structure."
220
00:11:13,405 --> 00:11:16,500
Boy, was I conned.
You suckered me in.
221
00:11:16,623 --> 00:11:19,303
- I'm going to get you for that.
- Mel, you have many times.
222
00:11:19,328 --> 00:11:21,475
- Tony, it's Jim again.
- "You want us to do what?"
223
00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:23,100
"Just a minute. Jim, hold on."
224
00:11:24,182 --> 00:11:29,063
"We will not be silenced by some
ridiculous need for primetime."
225
00:11:29,134 --> 00:11:31,030
Tony, grab yourself a barf bag...
226
00:11:31,055 --> 00:11:33,300
and put Miss First Amendment
on the line.
227
00:11:33,380 --> 00:11:35,737
"It's Mel Burgess,
our executive producer."
228
00:11:35,762 --> 00:11:37,543
"He wants to talk to you."
229
00:11:38,161 --> 00:11:39,635
"Hot wire to the..."
230
00:11:39,660 --> 00:11:42,435
Having quite a ride up there,
aren't you, Miss Sims?
231
00:11:42,460 --> 00:11:46,146
Mr. Burgess,
was is it that you want?
232
00:11:46,171 --> 00:11:49,700
Well, I just wanted you to know
if you didn't land in Newfoundland...
233
00:11:49,780 --> 00:11:52,973
and arrived at JFK in the middle
of morning primetime...
234
00:11:52,998 --> 00:11:55,848
"Yeah, well, what the hell
do I care about primetime?"
235
00:11:55,873 --> 00:11:59,888
Miss Sims, let's face it right now
you're a two-bit charity, okay?
236
00:11:59,913 --> 00:12:02,193
But if you land at JFK...
237
00:12:02,218 --> 00:12:05,195
smack in the middle
of morning primetime...
238
00:12:05,220 --> 00:12:08,772
America sees these kids getting off
the plane in their wretched state...
239
00:12:08,797 --> 00:12:11,475
you will be inundated with money,
Miss Sims.
240
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:13,315
You'll be bigger
than "Save the Children"!
241
00:12:13,340 --> 00:12:15,580
Well, that is the most
ridiculous thing that I...
242
00:12:15,605 --> 00:12:20,330
Did he say,
bigger than "Save the Children"?
243
00:12:20,355 --> 00:12:24,075
Everybody's got a magic button,
our job, find it and push it.
244
00:12:24,100 --> 00:12:25,426
Okay, Jim, you're it.
245
00:12:25,451 --> 00:12:27,613
Orphan patrol, get to JFK...
246
00:12:27,638 --> 00:12:30,435
keep them up there for
a couple hours until prime time.
247
00:12:30,460 --> 00:12:32,300
"There is still no word
from the White House...
248
00:12:32,380 --> 00:12:34,944
but unofficially,
one aide has said that...
249
00:12:34,969 --> 00:12:38,580
and I quote,
'Strong action will be taken'."
250
00:12:39,712 --> 00:12:42,392
Governor Farley
won't come to the telephone.
251
00:12:42,417 --> 00:12:43,493
Fuck.
252
00:12:43,940 --> 00:12:46,999
So, what now?
253
00:12:47,024 --> 00:12:48,874
Well, if that son of a bitch is...
254
00:12:48,899 --> 00:12:51,940
going to make the speech
I think he's going to make...
255
00:12:52,274 --> 00:12:54,060
then he could wipe us out.
256
00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:57,466
I smell an Image Deficiency
Syndrome on our hands.
257
00:12:57,491 --> 00:12:59,138
What the hell are we talking about...
258
00:12:59,163 --> 00:13:01,567
Image Deficiency Syndrome?
259
00:13:02,168 --> 00:13:03,668
If I may, sir.
260
00:13:04,137 --> 00:13:07,555
When I set up your election campaign
I knew you'd be elected...
261
00:13:07,580 --> 00:13:10,350
like all other Presidents
because of image.
262
00:13:10,375 --> 00:13:12,220
Now, no disrespect, sir...
263
00:13:12,476 --> 00:13:15,654
but the American people vote
for the sizzle, not the steak...
264
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,355
its only afterwards
that the poor bastards...
265
00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:18,902
have to bite
into that fat and gristle.
266
00:13:18,927 --> 00:13:22,300
- This is not about image!
- I beg your pardon, Warren.
267
00:13:23,034 --> 00:13:26,580
Mr. President, we're dealing with
something a hell of a lot more...
268
00:13:26,605 --> 00:13:29,460
than just "messy reality" here.
269
00:13:29,597 --> 00:13:32,377
See, at my shop
we represent everyone...
270
00:13:32,402 --> 00:13:36,035
from the Apple Growers Association
to the Government of Zimbodway.
271
00:13:36,060 --> 00:13:37,270
And I've got a dozen clients...
272
00:13:37,295 --> 00:13:39,675
who are going to load
their collective pants...
273
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:43,180
if that son of a bitch looks like
he's going to run circles around us.
274
00:13:43,335 --> 00:13:45,545
No one's going
to run circles around us, Chuck.
275
00:13:45,570 --> 00:13:46,974
Exactly.
276
00:13:46,999 --> 00:13:50,687
Now, we've an election next year
and unless you keep that in mind...
277
00:13:50,804 --> 00:13:52,202
when it's over this President...
278
00:13:52,249 --> 00:13:55,820
could be out building houses
for the poor like Jimmy Carter.
279
00:13:55,900 --> 00:13:58,140
I've never even fixed a faucet.
280
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:05,211
Jim's at JFK!
Hang in there, Jim.
281
00:14:05,236 --> 00:14:07,900
Idaho's coming up!
Farley's about to make his speech!
282
00:14:08,980 --> 00:14:11,715
Christina, stay with him
all the way up to the podium, okay?
283
00:14:11,740 --> 00:14:13,203
You stay with him!
284
00:14:13,228 --> 00:14:16,035
Mel, he's not even here,
he's still upstairs.
285
00:14:16,060 --> 00:14:18,660
It's going to be
a feeding frenzy down here.
286
00:14:18,685 --> 00:14:20,140
But you see, Governor...
287
00:14:20,165 --> 00:14:22,969
you got to look at this
as an opportunity, not a problem.
288
00:14:22,994 --> 00:14:25,832
I don't see this as much
of an opportunity, Jimmy.
289
00:14:25,857 --> 00:14:28,900
Hell, she's talking about wanting
to get transferred out of state!
290
00:14:29,380 --> 00:14:32,435
So, there you go now,
you stand up there...
291
00:14:32,460 --> 00:14:33,955
you make that speech
in a few minutes...
292
00:14:33,980 --> 00:14:37,380
she's going to be watching you
like a hound in heat.
293
00:14:37,660 --> 00:14:39,540
- You really think so?
- You're goddamn right.
294
00:14:39,779 --> 00:14:41,875
I mean, women love power.
295
00:14:41,900 --> 00:14:44,198
They swarm around it
like flies around shit.
296
00:14:44,223 --> 00:14:46,035
I mean, how could she do this to me?
297
00:14:46,060 --> 00:14:49,700
We made love just last Friday,
right here in this office.
298
00:14:49,780 --> 00:14:51,980
On that damn couch
you're sitting on right now.
299
00:14:55,180 --> 00:14:57,540
You know, counting for loyalty
these days?
300
00:14:59,340 --> 00:15:02,460
- By the way your wife called.
- Cover for me.
301
00:15:04,340 --> 00:15:06,660
Planeful of orphans,
one hour out of JFK!
302
00:15:06,740 --> 00:15:08,860
So, Caroline, you want to be
in the news business...
303
00:15:08,940 --> 00:15:12,100
start thinking train wrecks,
electronic train wrecks...
304
00:15:12,580 --> 00:15:15,780
only the trains are people,
like Farley and the White House...
305
00:15:15,860 --> 00:15:18,176
all we do is put them on
the same track...
306
00:15:18,201 --> 00:15:20,014
and let them head towards each other.
307
00:15:26,900 --> 00:15:30,300
You told me she was staying here,
and I'm telling you she's gone.
308
00:15:30,380 --> 00:15:33,020
She's here.
Let's just keep movin.
309
00:15:37,398 --> 00:15:40,220
Good morning.
310
00:15:40,375 --> 00:15:45,100
You all know that I've just ordered
the borders of Idaho to be closed.
311
00:15:45,580 --> 00:15:49,660
Now, this action is being implemented
to preserve our way of life.
312
00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:53,039
The American dream
that has been falsely...
313
00:15:53,064 --> 00:15:55,650
and cynically held out
to the entire rest of the world...
314
00:15:55,675 --> 00:15:58,875
which has grown by a billion people
in merely the last ten years...
315
00:15:58,900 --> 00:16:01,780
count them folks, one billion.
316
00:16:01,969 --> 00:16:04,809
Standing room only
from Maine to California.
317
00:16:04,980 --> 00:16:08,940
And by,
by allowing the stampede of...
318
00:16:09,020 --> 00:16:11,380
Whatever you want to call them,
immigrants, refugees...
319
00:16:11,460 --> 00:16:14,780
illegals, legals, migrants,
aliens, you name it...
320
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,300
we are being swamped.
321
00:16:17,325 --> 00:16:20,460
"And we are destroying
our own way of life...
322
00:16:20,540 --> 00:16:22,912
at a time when
the business community...
323
00:16:22,937 --> 00:16:25,260
has presided over
the wholesale destruction of...
324
00:16:25,340 --> 00:16:28,579
our manufacturing capability,
shift it overseas."
325
00:16:28,604 --> 00:16:30,196
- I don't know.
- "In the name of efficiency..."
326
00:16:30,221 --> 00:16:32,700
I liked him better
when he was a blonde.
327
00:16:32,780 --> 00:16:35,540
"We are told
that we have to stand by...
328
00:16:35,694 --> 00:16:38,615
and let the rest of the world
flood into America!"
329
00:16:38,748 --> 00:16:39,740
Steady with these kids.
330
00:16:39,820 --> 00:16:42,609
What? Hello? Come on.
331
00:16:42,634 --> 00:16:44,421
Where's the news crew?
332
00:16:44,446 --> 00:16:45,859
Excuse...
I don't see...
333
00:16:45,884 --> 00:16:47,953
Is that?
Hi, are you with the News Net?
334
00:16:47,978 --> 00:16:49,140
- Yes.
- Amelia Sims.
335
00:16:49,220 --> 00:16:50,860
- Is this the camera? Yeah.
- News Net control room.
336
00:16:50,940 --> 00:16:52,340
Tony's in pretty bad shape.
337
00:16:52,365 --> 00:16:54,220
- "That's why you're there, Jim."
- That's good, honey.
338
00:16:54,300 --> 00:16:57,220
Okay, this one, too.
All of these are orphans...
339
00:16:57,500 --> 00:17:01,715
- "Folks, America is no longer..."
- The global village on primetime...
340
00:17:01,740 --> 00:17:03,595
Boys, if it ain't on the screen,
it ain't happening.
341
00:17:03,620 --> 00:17:05,119
Lets go, bring it in.
Come on!
342
00:17:05,144 --> 00:17:08,610
- Standby in Effects 2, this is...
- Yes. Good.
343
00:17:08,635 --> 00:17:12,454
"This group of activists,
who have decided on their own...
344
00:17:12,479 --> 00:17:14,875
to bring into Idaho
thousands and thousands...
345
00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:16,795
of these unfortunate
Pakistan children...
346
00:17:16,820 --> 00:17:19,916
who've been orphaned by
that terrible war..."
347
00:17:19,941 --> 00:17:22,080
Beautiful.
348
00:17:22,105 --> 00:17:25,870
"And the people of this state
to mind our own business."
349
00:17:25,895 --> 00:17:32,260
Well, as it turns out, that is
exactly what I tend to do.
350
00:17:32,910 --> 00:17:37,470
I mean, I was not
elected by the people...
351
00:17:39,246 --> 00:17:41,220
Of Idaho...
352
00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:45,020
to...
353
00:17:46,740 --> 00:17:49,980
"to..."
354
00:17:50,660 --> 00:17:56,635
"to preside over this solution"
of our way of life.
355
00:17:57,610 --> 00:17:58,970
Therefore...
356
00:17:58,995 --> 00:18:03,197
I am taking control of all matters
related to our own borders.
357
00:18:03,980 --> 00:18:07,320
And to immigration
and citizenship.
358
00:18:07,345 --> 00:18:10,620
This is unconstitutional.
You can't do this.
359
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:14,260
I just have. Thank you.
360
00:18:16,173 --> 00:18:18,653
"Come on, Christina,
stay with the Governor!"
361
00:18:20,380 --> 00:18:23,060
Goddamnit. The Governor's the center
of the whole thing!
362
00:18:23,140 --> 00:18:26,180
Go in closer. Closer.
363
00:18:26,260 --> 00:18:28,940
Any closer and I'd be
going down on him.
364
00:18:30,285 --> 00:18:32,165
What was the question,
Miss Fernandez?
365
00:18:37,460 --> 00:18:40,066
Christina,
stay with the Governor.
366
00:18:40,091 --> 00:18:42,740
What the hell's going on with her,
she's always right on top of him.
367
00:18:42,765 --> 00:18:44,221
I'm trying to tell you...
368
00:18:44,246 --> 00:18:45,360
Hey, Troy.
369
00:18:45,704 --> 00:18:47,952
Look, come on, sugar,
I don't mean any harm.
370
00:18:47,977 --> 00:18:50,054
I just thought you might want
a little quality time...
371
00:18:50,079 --> 00:18:52,540
to patch up this little lovers tiff
that you and him have.
372
00:18:53,220 --> 00:18:57,134
Mr. Cannon, I don't need you
to sort out my personal life.
373
00:18:57,159 --> 00:18:58,641
Come on, Darling.
374
00:18:58,666 --> 00:19:02,460
Hey, I'm just trying to be
a friend here, okay?
375
00:19:03,140 --> 00:19:05,707
And he is crazy about you,
you know that.
376
00:19:05,732 --> 00:19:07,220
Please.
377
00:19:07,245 --> 00:19:10,820
It was an affair, okay?
Let's just keep it at that.
378
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:12,902
Right now, I just need to remember...
379
00:19:12,927 --> 00:19:15,769
that I'm a reporter
and get on with my life.
380
00:19:15,794 --> 00:19:18,500
You know, I'm always amazed
at how wrong I can be.
381
00:19:19,006 --> 00:19:21,700
You know, hell, I figured you really
had a thing for him.
382
00:19:23,740 --> 00:19:27,950
Are you aware
that I was born in Mexico?
383
00:19:27,975 --> 00:19:31,372
See, I came here
when I was three years old.
384
00:19:31,397 --> 00:19:33,982
That makes me an immigrant.
385
00:19:34,007 --> 00:19:36,718
He wants to keep people like me out.
386
00:19:37,008 --> 00:19:39,100
So, I'm out.
387
00:19:39,180 --> 00:19:41,547
Aren't you taking this
a little personally?
388
00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:43,900
I hope so.
389
00:19:46,509 --> 00:19:48,618
He wants to marry you.
390
00:19:52,260 --> 00:19:53,900
He what?
391
00:19:53,980 --> 00:19:56,820
Look, the budget's all blown to hell.
392
00:19:57,300 --> 00:19:59,075
- Why can't we take at least a few...
- Sorry, I'm late.
393
00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:01,780
But those darned orphans
didn't read the inter-office memo.
394
00:20:01,860 --> 00:20:05,820
"When I started out as a reporter,
the world seemed more remote."
395
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:09,340
"News came at us slower,
in ways we could absorb."
396
00:20:09,820 --> 00:20:11,420
"We never dreamed
of satellite feeds...
397
00:20:11,500 --> 00:20:13,980
or live reports from distant lands...
398
00:20:14,460 --> 00:20:18,900
but now, Idaho and Pakistan
might as well be right next door."
399
00:20:18,980 --> 00:20:21,620
"The entire world is swarming
into our video monitors...
400
00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:23,940
as well as into the towns
and cities of America...
401
00:20:24,020 --> 00:20:26,580
and it's changing us all."
402
00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:29,020
"And you tell yourself,
you're a pro...
403
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:31,020
that you can handle
the passions and tensions...
404
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:33,460
without letting your own feelings
get in the way."
405
00:20:33,540 --> 00:20:35,020
"At least,
that's what you tell yourself."
406
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:37,500
This network, isn't that worth
a little bit of money?
407
00:20:37,580 --> 00:20:39,220
What do we got on the White House?
408
00:20:39,300 --> 00:20:41,500
- Hi you, Sandy.
- Still nothing, the scum buckets.
409
00:20:41,580 --> 00:20:43,795
- They're your people.
- Bullshit, Alan!
410
00:20:43,820 --> 00:20:45,540
Alright, stop.
What about the backgrounds?
411
00:20:45,620 --> 00:20:46,940
We got one running right now.
412
00:20:47,020 --> 00:20:49,860
Okay, I want backgrounders
on everything, environment...
413
00:20:49,940 --> 00:20:52,540
immigration, refugees,
the whole nine yards, okay?
414
00:20:53,020 --> 00:20:54,820
- Blitz it.
- "The three freighters...
415
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:57,460
filled with Albanians
fleeing the Russian conflict...
416
00:20:57,540 --> 00:21:00,475
have been refused entry
at the already crowded port of...
417
00:21:00,500 --> 00:21:02,555
- Charleston, South Carolina."
- Yes, we should ignore the fact...
418
00:21:02,580 --> 00:21:05,555
the economic infrastructure of
every American city is crumbling.
419
00:21:05,580 --> 00:21:08,251
It's not the fault of
the refugees and the immigrants...
420
00:21:08,276 --> 00:21:09,275
For Christ sake, Alan...
421
00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:10,651
that's not even the goddamn issue
right now.
422
00:21:10,676 --> 00:21:12,477
It's right in the middle
of the fucking issue.
423
00:21:12,502 --> 00:21:15,300
"The crisis began when 3 million
starving refugees fled...
424
00:21:15,380 --> 00:21:17,035
Figian Province."
425
00:21:17,060 --> 00:21:19,635
- "The pesticides that seeped..."
- Human beings...
426
00:21:19,660 --> 00:21:22,455
let it get out of control,
this is not some act of God.
427
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,675
They had their worst famine...
428
00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:26,475
in the last hundred and fifty years,
for Christ sake.
429
00:21:26,500 --> 00:21:28,005
Could I have a glass
of milk with this, please?
430
00:21:28,030 --> 00:21:30,260
"There's no way I'm going
to let Idaho go...
431
00:21:30,340 --> 00:21:33,518
like other small population
states like Rhode Island...
432
00:21:33,543 --> 00:21:35,875
which became almost totally
Chinese in six years...
433
00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:37,682
when it was swamped by refugees..."
434
00:21:37,707 --> 00:21:39,940
"Millions of Chinese
settled in Rhode Island...
435
00:21:40,020 --> 00:21:42,155
in the same Presidential
election year...
436
00:21:42,180 --> 00:21:45,459
when the controversial department
of ethnic affairs was created."
437
00:21:45,484 --> 00:21:47,915
So, its our fault they cut down
all their forests...
438
00:21:47,940 --> 00:21:50,470
or breed like rabbits
and then want to come to America?
439
00:21:50,495 --> 00:21:52,335
Don't talk to me about breeding,
I'm eating, here.
440
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:53,562
I'm not talking about breeding.
441
00:21:53,587 --> 00:21:56,003
I'm talking about the social
situation on the planet.
442
00:21:56,028 --> 00:21:57,979
"Agents of the U.S. Border Patrol...
443
00:21:58,004 --> 00:22:00,534
have been unable to stem
the unprecedented numbers of...
444
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:04,940
- Salvadorians flooding into USA."
- The Chinese item we'll let on...
445
00:22:05,020 --> 00:22:06,540
but drop any Latin stuff.
446
00:22:06,620 --> 00:22:09,004
We've got too many
Hispanic advertisers.
447
00:22:09,029 --> 00:22:11,318
For christ sake, are we still
a news organization...
448
00:22:11,343 --> 00:22:13,100
or are we the home
shopping network now?
449
00:22:13,180 --> 00:22:15,575
Chris, don't bite the hand
that feeds you...
450
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,223
which happens to include
Hispanic advertisers.
451
00:22:18,248 --> 00:22:19,833
The country is, you know...
452
00:22:19,858 --> 00:22:23,013
"El Country-o es muy"
fucked up...
453
00:22:23,038 --> 00:22:25,046
Can you network guys
understand that?
454
00:22:25,220 --> 00:22:27,060
You got an attitude problem.
455
00:22:27,140 --> 00:22:31,900
I find this impassioned tone
of yours very offensive.
456
00:22:32,180 --> 00:22:33,540
I'm offensive? Jesus...
457
00:22:33,775 --> 00:22:36,845
Africa's a mess.
Use the last Rwanda massacre.
458
00:22:36,870 --> 00:22:39,057
- There are no Rwanda advertisers.
- "Third time in recent years...
459
00:22:39,082 --> 00:22:42,573
the people of Rwanda are being
massacred at an alarming rate."
460
00:22:42,598 --> 00:22:45,620
"Entire villages
are being wiped out."
461
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:48,275
Heads up everyone, orphan alert!
462
00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:49,435
JFK is coming in.
463
00:22:49,460 --> 00:22:52,555
Second batch of Pakistani orphans.
Runway 23.
464
00:22:52,580 --> 00:22:54,780
And what have you done
for Mel lately?
465
00:22:54,860 --> 00:22:58,700
"To Runway 23 at JFK
International Airport."
466
00:22:58,991 --> 00:23:01,100
"News Nets Jim Kallas there."
467
00:23:01,580 --> 00:23:03,180
"This is Jim Kalla, the News Net...
468
00:23:03,260 --> 00:23:06,140
- I'm here with Amelia Sims of..."
- "Thank you. Alright."
469
00:23:06,165 --> 00:23:08,350
"Let me just say that we are...
470
00:23:08,375 --> 00:23:11,155
bringing these children
to our shelters in Idaho...
471
00:23:11,180 --> 00:23:14,340
come hell or high water,
and it's our right."
472
00:23:14,493 --> 00:23:17,780
"And no Governor is going to stop it,
let me also say that this is..."
473
00:23:17,860 --> 00:23:21,260
Standby Boise, as soon as
we dump JFK, we'll be coming to you.
474
00:23:21,340 --> 00:23:24,060
I love the smell
of burning ambition.
475
00:23:24,140 --> 00:23:27,060
"And we are
going to deal with them and...
476
00:23:27,340 --> 00:23:29,340
let me just also say
that the organization'll be open..."
477
00:23:29,620 --> 00:23:32,180
"Of course I care about those
poor Pakistan orphans...
478
00:23:32,260 --> 00:23:35,012
but I don't live in Pakistan,
I live here!"
479
00:23:35,037 --> 00:23:37,542
"This is where..."
480
00:23:37,567 --> 00:23:41,555
"This is what I'm all about,
the American dream."
481
00:23:41,580 --> 00:23:43,797
How come every time I see that guy
I think I'm going to barf?
482
00:23:43,822 --> 00:23:45,937
Alan, anything American
makes you want to barf!
483
00:23:45,962 --> 00:23:48,515
Stop with the cause debates,
we're news, alright.
484
00:23:48,540 --> 00:23:50,980
Emotions happen outside.
485
00:23:51,005 --> 00:23:52,654
"Governor Farley!"
486
00:23:56,980 --> 00:23:58,820
Folks, the Governor.
487
00:24:00,435 --> 00:24:01,835
Good morning.
488
00:24:04,388 --> 00:24:05,708
That's cute.
489
00:24:16,380 --> 00:24:18,260
Folks...
490
00:24:18,340 --> 00:24:19,980
I know you all want to let
the Governor know...
491
00:24:20,060 --> 00:24:21,420
just how much
you're supporting him...
492
00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:24,180
but if you could just
give us a few minutes...
493
00:24:24,260 --> 00:24:26,580
to discuss some important matters,
I'd really appreciate it.
494
00:24:26,660 --> 00:24:28,835
Is there a room that we could use?
495
00:24:28,860 --> 00:24:31,475
Why sure, you could use our bedroom,
right down the hall.
496
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:34,540
Turn left at the rocket launcher.
497
00:24:35,937 --> 00:24:37,697
Excuse us. Thank you.
498
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:43,340
- Hey, big fella.
- You got to talk to these people.
499
00:24:43,420 --> 00:24:46,260
Hey. Jesus.
500
00:24:46,340 --> 00:24:48,180
I'm tellin you,
this is getting to be too much.
501
00:24:48,260 --> 00:24:50,425
- What is?
- Christina, she's...
502
00:24:50,450 --> 00:24:52,555
She's not out there.
503
00:24:52,980 --> 00:24:56,580
- Governor, I've got it wired...
- Jesus Christ.
504
00:24:57,060 --> 00:24:58,860
Who keeps a bowl of grenades
in their bedroom?
505
00:24:58,940 --> 00:25:01,100
Jesus, Howard, get away from there!
506
00:25:01,180 --> 00:25:03,700
Look, I got it wired.
I've talked to News Net people...
507
00:25:03,780 --> 00:25:05,340
and told them that
we'd give her an exclusive...
508
00:25:05,420 --> 00:25:07,180
so they're on her to stay close.
509
00:25:07,460 --> 00:25:10,140
Now, let's just think about
those people in the next room?
510
00:25:10,479 --> 00:25:13,599
I mean, these militia folks
can come in real handy.
511
00:25:13,765 --> 00:25:15,140
What the hell is this?
512
00:25:16,740 --> 00:25:19,380
Bosoms and bazookas?
513
00:25:19,460 --> 00:25:22,980
Maybe Ladies Auxiliary?
I don't know.
514
00:25:23,060 --> 00:25:24,740
Jesus Christ.
515
00:25:27,900 --> 00:25:29,580
I don't know about all this.
516
00:25:29,860 --> 00:25:32,980
Governor, lets just not forget
who voted for you?
517
00:25:33,260 --> 00:25:36,940
I mean, the whole goddamn state's
one big militia now.
518
00:25:41,980 --> 00:25:44,220
"As Governor Farley avoided
reporters questions...
519
00:25:44,300 --> 00:25:47,020
on his links with militia groups..."
520
00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:49,100
It doesn't make any sense.
521
00:25:49,180 --> 00:25:50,300
Just because we got a President...
522
00:25:50,380 --> 00:25:52,220
who's face belongs
on the back of milk cartons...
523
00:25:52,300 --> 00:25:55,940
doesn't mean that the whole
goddamn White House got to be quiet.
524
00:25:56,020 --> 00:25:57,620
Its fishy.
525
00:25:59,180 --> 00:26:01,820
Steve, smoke them out.
526
00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:04,793
And what amazes
most observers here...
527
00:26:04,818 --> 00:26:07,220
there still been no response
from the President.
528
00:26:07,700 --> 00:26:10,580
Well, you got the Chief of Staff,
what more do you want?
529
00:26:10,660 --> 00:26:12,140
Same to you.
530
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:14,700
The President's on his way,
but before he arrives...
531
00:26:14,780 --> 00:26:17,060
- a few things I want to go over.
- Mr. Buchan...
532
00:26:17,085 --> 00:26:19,755
since when does a lobbyist
set the agenda for the White House?
533
00:26:19,780 --> 00:26:21,420
Mr. Secretary.
534
00:26:21,764 --> 00:26:24,980
I'm going to pretend I didn't hear
that "L" word you just used.
535
00:26:25,260 --> 00:26:26,660
I'm a political facilitator.
536
00:26:26,740 --> 00:26:28,140
You can pretend what you want, Jack.
537
00:26:28,220 --> 00:26:30,420
But we're trying
to handle a crisis here.
538
00:26:30,500 --> 00:26:31,820
- Really Mike?
- Yes.
539
00:26:31,900 --> 00:26:33,460
Well, I think its time
we started considering that...
540
00:26:33,540 --> 00:26:36,642
a Presidents first four year term
is what he's got to put up with...
541
00:26:36,667 --> 00:26:38,115
in order to get himself
elected again.
542
00:26:38,140 --> 00:26:39,580
Tell me something I don't know.
543
00:26:39,660 --> 00:26:43,776
"There is speculation that
the White House's in some disarray...
544
00:26:43,801 --> 00:26:45,886
and that the President has become...
545
00:26:45,911 --> 00:26:47,573
politically immobilized...
546
00:26:47,598 --> 00:26:48,675
- by events that are..."
- What did I tell you?
547
00:26:48,700 --> 00:26:50,780
The bastards are
trying to smoke us out.
548
00:26:51,060 --> 00:26:53,580
Now, look, people...
549
00:26:53,660 --> 00:26:57,860
This Presidents going to end up as
confused as a goat on astro-turf.
550
00:26:58,196 --> 00:27:00,516
- Unless we're careful.
- Careful about what?
551
00:27:00,740 --> 00:27:06,060
Every President has his foibles,
this one just needs a role model.
552
00:27:06,340 --> 00:27:08,140
Now, I've been through this
with him before...
553
00:27:08,220 --> 00:27:11,060
that last crisis,
that Trade War thing.
554
00:27:11,357 --> 00:27:16,220
We got him all fired up
over Harry Truman and it worked.
555
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:17,491
When it ended...
556
00:27:17,516 --> 00:27:20,940
I swear, I thought he was going
to nuke the Japs all over again.
557
00:27:20,965 --> 00:27:22,900
And, on this one...
558
00:27:22,980 --> 00:27:25,060
we have to bring him up
to something more...
559
00:27:25,340 --> 00:27:29,300
Statesman like, like Roosevelt.
560
00:27:29,380 --> 00:27:31,020
Excellent question.
561
00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:34,540
What would Roosevelt have done
if hed had this crisis?
562
00:27:34,820 --> 00:27:36,940
Especially when they're
playing the "orphan card."
563
00:27:37,020 --> 00:27:39,260
Well, we should be playing
our own orphan card.
564
00:27:39,340 --> 00:27:40,940
Exactly.
565
00:27:41,220 --> 00:27:46,940
Sir, what exactly
is our "orphan card?"
566
00:27:52,460 --> 00:27:57,060
Mr. President, its a deadline.
567
00:27:57,340 --> 00:27:58,940
Precisely! It's a deadline...
568
00:27:59,220 --> 00:28:02,380
we're giving Idaho
to get those damn orphans in there.
569
00:28:02,660 --> 00:28:05,300
Seventy-two hours,
no ifs, ands, or buts.
570
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:07,700
Teddy Roosevelt would've played
the orphan card.
571
00:28:07,780 --> 00:28:08,780
No, Mr. President...
572
00:28:08,860 --> 00:28:12,100
I was referring to F.D.R.
Franklin Roosevelt.
573
00:28:12,380 --> 00:28:15,340
Teddy Roosevelt.
574
00:28:15,420 --> 00:28:17,740
When he lead the rough riders
over the hill...
575
00:28:18,020 --> 00:28:20,700
on that charge
when he declared war on Spain...
576
00:28:20,980 --> 00:28:24,580
now that was an orphan card.
577
00:28:25,796 --> 00:28:27,356
Shit.
578
00:28:29,140 --> 00:28:31,300
I know something's going on,
I could smell it a mile away.
579
00:28:31,580 --> 00:28:35,180
Somethins happening...
Caroline!
580
00:28:35,460 --> 00:28:38,620
Did we fire that odd ball,
Techy Godfrey from the last cutback?
581
00:28:38,900 --> 00:28:41,140
No, his office is down stairs.
582
00:28:41,420 --> 00:28:43,020
- What room?
- Fifty-five.
583
00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:45,780
So, Tom comes up to me you know,
Brocaugh, and he says...
584
00:28:45,860 --> 00:28:49,060
"Vincent, you belong on camera,
on camera..."
585
00:28:53,780 --> 00:28:57,020
Godfrey, tell me you know something.
What's going on?
586
00:28:57,300 --> 00:28:58,660
BTU's.
587
00:28:59,940 --> 00:29:03,020
This is something I've been doing
calculations on for months...
588
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:05,820
the Pentagon on a "normal night."
589
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:09,540
Taken from the infrared satellite
that I got us to buy time on.
590
00:29:09,820 --> 00:29:10,980
You remember how
the twenty-second floor...
591
00:29:11,060 --> 00:29:12,060
didn't want to put money into it.
592
00:29:12,140 --> 00:29:14,260
How they said, infrared was dead,
microwave maybe...
593
00:29:14,540 --> 00:29:17,700
I remember, Godfrey.
I was thrilled for you, go ahead.
594
00:29:19,140 --> 00:29:20,220
On a normal night...
595
00:29:20,300 --> 00:29:22,820
the Pentagon gives off
a fairly constant amount of heat.
596
00:29:22,900 --> 00:29:26,700
About 3.28 million BTUs,
that's British Thermol Units...
597
00:29:26,780 --> 00:29:28,740
its a way of measuring how...
598
00:29:30,700 --> 00:29:32,460
Yeah.
599
00:29:32,740 --> 00:29:36,060
But here is how it looked
ten minutes ago.
600
00:29:36,140 --> 00:29:38,380
You see this hot spot right here?
601
00:29:38,460 --> 00:29:40,460
All the lights
and electrical equipment...
602
00:29:40,740 --> 00:29:43,460
it added an extra half million BTUs.
603
00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:45,980
- So?
- Well, I...
604
00:29:46,060 --> 00:29:47,900
I don't have a spectrum analysis
they wouldn't authorize...
605
00:29:47,980 --> 00:29:49,315
the system upgrade
at the last budget meeting...
606
00:29:49,340 --> 00:29:51,500
Godfrey, forget about
spectrum analysis...
607
00:29:51,580 --> 00:29:54,700
stay with the BTUs and
how they relate to the orphans...
608
00:29:54,780 --> 00:29:56,340
that's why we're here.
609
00:29:56,820 --> 00:30:00,900
This is where they plan
military operations.
610
00:30:02,660 --> 00:30:04,380
Holy shit.
611
00:30:04,460 --> 00:30:08,380
Look here, North Carolina
half an our ago.
612
00:30:08,660 --> 00:30:12,820
You see this little area right here
lit up like an infra-red blowtorch.
613
00:30:15,820 --> 00:30:17,260
What about it?
614
00:30:17,340 --> 00:30:21,580
That's Fort Brag,
home of the 173rd Airborne.
615
00:30:21,860 --> 00:30:24,820
Jesus Christ.
We're going to invade Idaho...
616
00:30:25,100 --> 00:30:27,340
over a bunch of orphans.
617
00:30:27,420 --> 00:30:28,620
Get me to the White House.
618
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:30,260
I don't care
if you have to use tear gas...
619
00:30:30,340 --> 00:30:31,860
get the President out of there.
620
00:30:32,140 --> 00:30:34,220
Who's at Fort Brag?
621
00:30:34,300 --> 00:30:35,620
"News Net has just learned that...
622
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:38,547
two battalions from Fort Brag
have been put on alert...
623
00:30:38,572 --> 00:30:41,070
and are preparing to be moved
to Utah near the Idaho border."
624
00:30:41,095 --> 00:30:43,773
"You actually want me to believe
they're sending in troops?"
625
00:30:44,100 --> 00:30:46,420
"They may have a credibility gap
in Washington...
626
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:48,340
but even the lobbyists
that swarm all over that city..."
627
00:30:48,420 --> 00:30:49,420
"Are you're telling me that...
628
00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:51,380
the White House is still
denying reports that...
629
00:30:51,460 --> 00:30:54,155
Federal troops are being shipped
to the Idaho boarder?"
630
00:30:54,180 --> 00:30:57,780
So, we're in the Eisenhower mode?
Jack, I think Ike's a great idea.
631
00:30:58,060 --> 00:30:59,100
Well, thank you, Mr. President.
632
00:30:59,180 --> 00:31:01,340
Eisenhower had a calming influence.
633
00:31:01,620 --> 00:31:02,740
Yes, I thought you
would like that, sir.
634
00:31:02,820 --> 00:31:07,420
And he gave fabulous deadlines.
I saw the videos you gave me.
635
00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:09,380
That's what I want to talk
to you about, Sir.
636
00:31:09,660 --> 00:31:12,300
Seventy-two hours, three days,
has a nice ring to it.
637
00:31:12,380 --> 00:31:15,020
- That's the problem, Sir.
- What is?
638
00:31:15,100 --> 00:31:18,475
Well, the seventy-two hours,
the end of seventy two hours...
639
00:31:18,900 --> 00:31:20,326
Falls right in the middle of...
640
00:31:20,373 --> 00:31:21,860
"All My Children."
641
00:31:21,940 --> 00:31:23,820
What the hell is, "All My Children"?
642
00:31:24,100 --> 00:31:26,020
It's a soap opera.
643
00:31:26,100 --> 00:31:29,420
Remember what happened last time
we preempted those soap operas?
644
00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:33,180
Women all over the country
went absolutely ape...
645
00:31:33,460 --> 00:31:34,860
went crazy.
646
00:31:34,940 --> 00:31:36,780
Jack, let's understand something.
647
00:31:36,860 --> 00:31:38,100
I wasn't elected President...
648
00:31:38,180 --> 00:31:40,980
to sit back and watch
the United States disintegrate.
649
00:31:41,460 --> 00:31:42,740
Here.
650
00:31:42,765 --> 00:31:46,974
Sir, we lost the women's vote
last time.
651
00:31:47,820 --> 00:31:49,700
Shouldn't have happened.
652
00:31:49,980 --> 00:31:52,220
It's Susan Luchis final episode.
653
00:31:52,300 --> 00:31:55,740
- She's about to leave her husband.
- Excuse me?
654
00:31:56,020 --> 00:31:57,980
Susan, the star of "All My Children."
655
00:31:58,260 --> 00:32:00,140
Shes about to leave her husband
and run off with Antonio.
656
00:32:00,220 --> 00:32:02,020
- The gardener?
- Yes.
657
00:32:02,148 --> 00:32:06,031
- Erica's running off with Antonio?
- Exactly.
658
00:32:07,420 --> 00:32:10,500
Would it be possible that,
for the sake of the country...
659
00:32:10,780 --> 00:32:13,780
Erica not run off with the gardener
for a few days?
660
00:32:13,860 --> 00:32:15,660
Well, I checked with the network.
661
00:32:15,940 --> 00:32:18,595
The episodes already been taped,
it airs in three days...
662
00:32:18,620 --> 00:32:21,700
right smack dab
in the middle of our deadline.
663
00:32:24,540 --> 00:32:27,220
Eisenhower would've
changed the deadline.
664
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:29,100
It's a soap opera, for Christ sakes.
665
00:32:29,380 --> 00:32:32,700
Since when does a soap opera
control the future of the country?
666
00:32:32,980 --> 00:32:35,540
Why do you keep asking me
if I love him?
667
00:32:35,620 --> 00:32:37,740
Hey, I'm just trying to help.
668
00:32:38,020 --> 00:32:40,700
I mean, I can see the pain you're in.
669
00:32:40,980 --> 00:32:42,884
The pain is from you trying
to get me back...
670
00:32:42,909 --> 00:32:44,980
into something that made me crazy.
671
00:32:45,060 --> 00:32:47,820
Look, I only know what I see.
672
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:51,300
And I see you hurt more now
than you ever did before.
673
00:32:51,380 --> 00:32:55,340
Tell me I'm wrong.
But I know I'm not, Darling.
674
00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:02,300
Phone message, Jimmy.
Code Blue.
675
00:33:02,380 --> 00:33:04,380
In a minute.
676
00:33:10,407 --> 00:33:13,820
Governor, Mrs. Fernandez is here
to discuss the News Net interview.
677
00:33:20,540 --> 00:33:22,540
- Where's the last Code Blue?
- Three.
678
00:33:24,380 --> 00:33:26,780
Hello, Mrs. Farley, how are you?
679
00:33:27,260 --> 00:33:28,420
Good.
680
00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:31,560
No, he's behind
closed doors right now.
681
00:33:32,500 --> 00:33:36,380
Well, its very important,
its with a foreign dignitary.
682
00:33:36,860 --> 00:33:38,540
Right.
683
00:33:38,620 --> 00:33:41,020
No problem. I'll have
the fella go shopping for you.
684
00:33:42,580 --> 00:33:46,478
Right. The Popov Vodka.
Good. Bye.
685
00:33:50,692 --> 00:33:53,900
You're all aware of the proclamations
coming from Idaho...
686
00:33:54,180 --> 00:33:56,820
where the Governor of the state
has said it is his intention...
687
00:33:56,900 --> 00:34:01,338
to close the borders to
a group of refugee children.
688
00:34:02,060 --> 00:34:04,420
This action is unconstitutional.
689
00:34:04,500 --> 00:34:06,532
And it represents
an illegal challenge...
690
00:34:06,557 --> 00:34:08,780
"to the authority of
the Federal government."
691
00:34:09,060 --> 00:34:11,740
He's actually going to have
to make a decision.
692
00:34:12,020 --> 00:34:14,500
Christina, I don't care
what you have to do...
693
00:34:14,580 --> 00:34:16,767
to get access to Farley, do it.
694
00:34:18,300 --> 00:34:19,700
Christina?
695
00:34:19,725 --> 00:34:21,852
- So much.
- No.
696
00:34:21,877 --> 00:34:23,235
I don't believe you anymore...
697
00:34:23,260 --> 00:34:24,900
and I don't believe myself
anymore either.
698
00:34:24,980 --> 00:34:26,755
I mean, what the hell
am I doing with a married man?
699
00:34:26,780 --> 00:34:29,493
Eleanor and I have not lived
as man and wife...
700
00:34:29,518 --> 00:34:30,715
For three years.
701
00:34:30,740 --> 00:34:32,980
And she doesn't understand you
and the check is in the mail...
702
00:34:33,060 --> 00:34:34,740
and I'm really Irish.
703
00:34:34,820 --> 00:34:37,113
Television has
just fucking gone crazy.
704
00:34:37,138 --> 00:34:38,700
I just...
705
00:34:38,980 --> 00:34:40,580
I just thought
maybe we could go away...
706
00:34:40,660 --> 00:34:42,940
somewhere for a couple of days.
707
00:34:43,295 --> 00:34:45,220
Just get away from all this.
708
00:34:45,245 --> 00:34:49,100
"And I'm calling on Governor Farley,
who I know is watching this...
709
00:34:49,380 --> 00:34:51,860
- to recognize the hour of peril..."
- Christina, where are you?
710
00:34:51,940 --> 00:34:54,260
I need a reaction, please!
711
00:34:55,780 --> 00:34:57,233
"Christina?"
712
00:34:57,258 --> 00:34:59,872
Mel, I want a transfer.
713
00:34:59,897 --> 00:35:02,966
Christina, this is not
the appropriate time.
714
00:35:02,991 --> 00:35:04,364
"I want to go somewhere..."
715
00:35:04,389 --> 00:35:07,240
and have babies
and lead a normal sane life...
716
00:35:07,265 --> 00:35:08,780
and I want to get up
in the morning...
717
00:35:08,860 --> 00:35:12,146
and drive kids to school
and I want a husband I can trust.
718
00:35:12,171 --> 00:35:15,300
Please,
no mommy-track crisis now.
719
00:35:15,580 --> 00:35:17,711
Christina, please!
720
00:35:30,100 --> 00:35:32,380
"It was almost half a century ago...
721
00:35:32,860 --> 00:35:35,900
that another President,
Dwight D. Eisenhower...
722
00:35:35,980 --> 00:35:38,940
found it necessary
to use U.S. troops...
723
00:35:39,220 --> 00:35:42,740
to enforce the constitutional rights
of the Federal government...
724
00:35:43,020 --> 00:35:48,340
when the state of Arkansas refused
to obey a Supreme Court order."
725
00:35:48,620 --> 00:35:51,980
"If necessary, I will do the same."
726
00:35:52,147 --> 00:35:55,607
"I am therefore declaring
a deadline of sixty-seven...
727
00:35:55,632 --> 00:35:57,620
and a half hours from now."
728
00:35:57,900 --> 00:35:59,500
- Sixty-seven and a...
- "By which time...
729
00:35:59,580 --> 00:36:02,140
- the state of Idaho must comply..."
- The fuck is that?
730
00:36:02,420 --> 00:36:05,260
"The constitutional prerogatives of
the Federal government...
731
00:36:05,340 --> 00:36:08,180
of these United States of America."
732
00:36:08,460 --> 00:36:12,260
- "As they we're delineated by..."
- What an asshole.
733
00:36:12,340 --> 00:36:14,024
That dumb son of a bitch.
734
00:36:14,049 --> 00:36:17,780
Up to his ass in lobbyists
and deals to keep himself in power.
735
00:36:17,805 --> 00:36:20,580
Now he tries to be Eisenhower.
736
00:36:20,660 --> 00:36:24,100
Like a dwarf trying to be
a high jumper.
737
00:36:24,380 --> 00:36:26,980
Goddamit.
738
00:36:27,260 --> 00:36:31,220
How the hell did we let it all
get to this?
739
00:36:31,362 --> 00:36:34,180
Sixty-seven and a half hours?
740
00:36:37,660 --> 00:36:39,540
Okay, do it.
741
00:36:39,668 --> 00:36:44,035
Put up the road blocks,
and I promised...
742
00:36:44,060 --> 00:36:46,307
you know that News Net lady
an exclusive.
743
00:36:46,332 --> 00:36:47,820
Governor!
744
00:36:47,845 --> 00:36:50,097
You're supposed to brief
Colonel McNally, Sir, right away.
745
00:36:50,122 --> 00:36:52,660
You know the one? Yeah.
746
00:36:52,940 --> 00:36:56,140
"I have today issued
an executive order...
747
00:36:56,220 --> 00:36:57,900
directing the use of troops..."
748
00:36:58,180 --> 00:37:00,804
"There have been comparisons
made between the President...
749
00:37:00,829 --> 00:37:03,340
and former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower."
750
00:37:03,620 --> 00:37:06,940
"It was in 1958
that Eisenhower sent in troops...
751
00:37:07,020 --> 00:37:10,500
to forcibly integrate
the public schools in Little Rock."
752
00:37:10,980 --> 00:37:13,420
"Observers say that
the President's actions are..."
753
00:37:13,500 --> 00:37:17,420
Okay, people,
the whole country is tuned in!
754
00:37:17,700 --> 00:37:20,660
Meaning, it's primetime
for the next three days...
755
00:37:20,940 --> 00:37:23,500
twenty-four hours a day,
nobody goes home.
756
00:37:23,780 --> 00:37:26,580
The Feds are on their way, okay?
Everybody on deck?
757
00:37:26,660 --> 00:37:30,580
Karachi, New York,
the White House, Boise.
758
00:37:30,860 --> 00:37:32,580
Who's on the Idaho border?
759
00:37:32,660 --> 00:37:34,624
Vinnie.
760
00:37:34,649 --> 00:37:36,900
Vinnie? Vinnie Franco?
761
00:37:37,180 --> 00:37:38,860
Yeah.
762
00:37:50,140 --> 00:37:53,580
Man, that John Wayne
was a hell of soldier?
763
00:37:53,860 --> 00:37:55,580
Hey, Vinnie, he was an actor.
764
00:37:55,860 --> 00:37:57,580
Bullshit, if they'd a put
the Duke in charge of Vietnam...
765
00:37:57,660 --> 00:38:00,380
we would've been out of that war
in a fucking week.
766
00:38:03,980 --> 00:38:05,020
Hey, what are you doing
turning the sound up?
767
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:06,860
I told you, you're going to blow
the fucking speakers on this thing.
768
00:38:06,940 --> 00:38:08,620
I didn't.
769
00:38:10,980 --> 00:38:12,500
Holy shit.
770
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:25,900
Hello? Hey!
771
00:38:27,860 --> 00:38:29,620
Hey, who are you guys?
772
00:38:31,900 --> 00:38:33,700
Who are you?
773
00:38:33,875 --> 00:38:36,700
- Who are you?
- I asked first.
774
00:38:36,780 --> 00:38:38,620
I ain't telling till you do.
775
00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:40,140
We're a News Net crew.
776
00:38:40,420 --> 00:38:42,940
- No kidding?
- Yeah.
777
00:38:43,020 --> 00:38:46,798
Hey, Charlie, Sam, its News Net,
we're going to be on TV.
778
00:38:46,900 --> 00:38:49,060
Goddamn.
779
00:38:49,140 --> 00:38:52,368
I'm Arnold Tooney, Jr.,
two "os" in Tooney.
780
00:38:52,393 --> 00:38:54,140
I own a drugstore in Boise.
781
00:38:54,420 --> 00:38:55,900
Really?
782
00:38:55,980 --> 00:38:58,900
Well, I might be slow, Arnold,
but where I come from...
783
00:38:59,180 --> 00:39:00,860
guys who own drugstores
don't drive around in tanks...
784
00:39:00,940 --> 00:39:03,060
- You know what I mean?
- Bet some of them do.
785
00:39:03,340 --> 00:39:05,300
On weekends, at least.
786
00:39:05,380 --> 00:39:09,020
You're not the army,
you're the National Guard.
787
00:39:09,300 --> 00:39:10,980
Idaho National Guard.
788
00:39:11,060 --> 00:39:12,500
Fuck.
789
00:39:13,860 --> 00:39:17,620
Boys,
looks like Idaho's going to war.
790
00:39:19,580 --> 00:39:21,020
God.
791
00:39:22,020 --> 00:39:23,940
"I smell another fucking Emmy, here."
792
00:39:25,500 --> 00:39:28,820
There are sixty-five hours left
in the Presidents ultimatum.
793
00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:30,620
There now exists
the possibility of...
794
00:39:30,700 --> 00:39:33,580
American troops fighting against
other American troops...
795
00:39:33,860 --> 00:39:36,380
for the first time
since the Civil War.
796
00:39:36,460 --> 00:39:38,580
"Despite a complete press blackout
established by...
797
00:39:38,660 --> 00:39:40,020
by the military on both sides...
798
00:39:40,300 --> 00:39:42,780
we're expecting exclusive
coverage potentials..."
799
00:39:42,860 --> 00:39:44,380
Civil War?
800
00:39:46,262 --> 00:39:48,340
The Second Civil War.
801
00:39:50,100 --> 00:39:54,200
The Second Civil War.
Get me graphics!
802
00:40:01,260 --> 00:40:02,700
Alright.
803
00:40:02,980 --> 00:40:06,140
Okay, we have...
We have not sought...
804
00:40:06,319 --> 00:40:09,620
nor will we instigate
any combat situation.
805
00:40:09,827 --> 00:40:13,380
But I am hereby serving notice
on the Federal government...
806
00:40:13,460 --> 00:40:16,300
that should any armed
hostilities break out...
807
00:40:16,461 --> 00:40:21,140
the State of Idaho will immediately
secede from the United States.
808
00:40:22,980 --> 00:40:25,940
And with Governor Farleys
dramatic declaration of secession...
809
00:40:26,220 --> 00:40:30,260
America appears just days away
from a deepening crisis.
810
00:40:30,540 --> 00:40:32,900
Some observers fear the possibility
of an armed attack...
811
00:40:32,980 --> 00:40:34,460
by Federal troops.
812
00:40:34,740 --> 00:40:38,140
An announcement from the White House
is expected within the hour.
813
00:40:39,380 --> 00:40:41,380
Brendon.
814
00:40:41,542 --> 00:40:46,020
I'm going to need
an Eisenhower kind of quote.
815
00:40:46,237 --> 00:40:49,140
Something with
a ring of leadership to it.
816
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,520
An Eisenhower quote.
I'll do me best, sir.
817
00:40:51,637 --> 00:40:53,860
I'm sure you will, Brendon.
Thank you very much.
818
00:40:59,780 --> 00:41:04,220
Now, we're going to need
another Eisenhower quote.
819
00:41:04,700 --> 00:41:07,580
So, let's dream one up lads.
820
00:41:07,660 --> 00:41:10,260
It's blackmail! No blackmail.
821
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,240
We'll not be party
to such high-handed...
822
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,480
- tactics.
- No.
823
00:41:13,660 --> 00:41:16,140
How about this,
in my judgement...
824
00:41:16,420 --> 00:41:19,007
we got to call in the army
because otherwise...
825
00:41:20,740 --> 00:41:24,580
The flower of democracy
will not be trampled...
826
00:41:24,660 --> 00:41:26,660
under the foot of rebellion.
827
00:41:26,740 --> 00:41:28,500
That's closer, Vaclav.
828
00:41:28,580 --> 00:41:32,140
But still,
I'm missing the poetry boys.
829
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,120
Raul, let's hear it, lad.
830
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:36,400
We must endure...
831
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,800
and we must prevail
if the slender thread of truth...
832
00:41:39,980 --> 00:41:44,180
is to remain woven
into the fabric of civilized life.
833
00:41:44,460 --> 00:41:47,300
Slender thread of truth.
834
00:41:47,619 --> 00:41:50,800
"And just as Eisenhower said
years ago."
835
00:41:50,980 --> 00:41:56,020
"We must endure, we must prevail,
if the slender thread of truth...
836
00:41:56,300 --> 00:42:01,300
is to remain woven
into the fabric of civilized life."
837
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:02,783
"It was with that sentiment...
838
00:42:02,808 --> 00:42:04,815
that my predecessor of
so many years ago..."
839
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,600
That Eisenhower
had a way with words.
840
00:42:07,780 --> 00:42:10,540
"Washington continues
to mobilize troops...
841
00:42:10,820 --> 00:42:14,300
with sixty-four hours left,
two battalions from North Carolina."
842
00:42:14,580 --> 00:42:17,220
"An entire brigade
from the 1st Infantry...
843
00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:21,175
and several armored companies
from Texas are being sent to Utah...
844
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,440
not far from the Idaho border.
845
00:42:23,820 --> 00:42:25,535
"Citizens from across that state...
846
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,400
are signing up as volunteers
in the National Guard."
847
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,320
"Others are rallying around
the various private militias...
848
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,720
that support Governor Farley."
849
00:42:34,168 --> 00:42:38,080
Hi, folks. How's everybody doing?
850
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:45,489
Good. We're a News Net crew
from New York city.
851
00:42:47,240 --> 00:42:50,755
Well, near New York,
it's practically New Jersey.
852
00:42:50,780 --> 00:42:55,035
We're here because we want
to tell your side of the story.
853
00:42:55,060 --> 00:42:58,220
Now, I know you're probably
pretty suspicious of the media...
854
00:42:58,300 --> 00:42:59,340
because of the way
they've portrayed you in the past.
855
00:42:59,420 --> 00:43:01,203
Let's face the facts, why not?
856
00:43:01,228 --> 00:43:03,080
They're always portraying you
as these...
857
00:43:03,260 --> 00:43:07,420
sort of stereo-typical,
ultra-right-wing, gun crazed...
858
00:43:07,700 --> 00:43:10,860
union-busting, wackos.
859
00:43:10,940 --> 00:43:12,260
Good, Vinnie.
860
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,480
But, I'll tell you what...
861
00:43:14,660 --> 00:43:19,060
let's take this opportunity
to jump right over those...
862
00:43:19,340 --> 00:43:22,986
left wing liberal East coast
media-elite-types...
863
00:43:23,011 --> 00:43:26,500
and bring your story right
to the American people.
864
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,360
"And that's why I'm supporting
Governor Farley.
865
00:43:29,740 --> 00:43:33,180
"The foreigners are taking our jobs,
and enough is enough."
866
00:43:33,260 --> 00:43:36,060
"Because I want my grandson
to live in country...
867
00:43:36,140 --> 00:43:39,660
where we don't owe every cent
to bankers from around the world."
868
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,200
"Well, I knew it was time for me
and my brother Alan here...
869
00:43:43,380 --> 00:43:45,455
to start buying missiles
to defend our farm...
870
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:46,560
from the Federal government...
871
00:43:46,585 --> 00:43:49,000
that was trying to take
all our guns away."
872
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:50,955
"And once all the guns are gone...
873
00:43:50,980 --> 00:43:52,502
who's going to stand up
to the people that are...
874
00:43:52,527 --> 00:43:54,060
trying to take your freedom away?"
875
00:43:54,340 --> 00:43:56,740
Goddamit, Christina,
please don't do this.
876
00:43:56,765 --> 00:43:58,180
Come here.
877
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,160
I've already done it.
I've asked for a transfer.
878
00:44:01,340 --> 00:44:03,860
- Why?
- Because I'm Mexican.
879
00:44:03,940 --> 00:44:07,135
I should be reporting from Tijuana,
not Boise, for Pete's sake...
880
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,229
- Please.
- People are watching.
881
00:44:09,500 --> 00:44:12,300
Christina, don't let all
this national issue stuff...
882
00:44:12,380 --> 00:44:14,500
screw things up between you and me.
883
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,484
Just because you're Mexican
is no reason to go crazy.
884
00:44:18,509 --> 00:44:20,375
And I'm not just
keepin back Mexicans...
885
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,595
its everyone from Afgans to Zambians.
886
00:44:22,620 --> 00:44:24,580
Now just don't make this
into a personal thing...
887
00:44:24,660 --> 00:44:26,915
between you and me.
Now, come on.
888
00:44:26,940 --> 00:44:29,180
I feel sick.
889
00:44:29,260 --> 00:44:30,532
What's wrong with you?
890
00:44:30,557 --> 00:44:35,040
I've been sick for three days.
891
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,200
I have to go.
892
00:44:37,380 --> 00:44:39,020
Christina.
893
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:43,175
- Steve! Get an ambulance!
- No. I'm okay.
894
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,051
- I'm okay. I just want to be alone.
- You sure?
895
00:44:47,300 --> 00:44:48,655
You know who fucked it up?
896
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,255
All your mink coat "do-gooders"
who talk more about their rights...
897
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,475
than their duties throwing money
at every problem they see.
898
00:44:53,500 --> 00:44:54,540
Fuck you, Chris, alright.
899
00:44:54,565 --> 00:44:57,100
Half the people I went
to school with can't get jobs now.
900
00:44:57,180 --> 00:44:59,426
So, seal the borders,
bring the jobs back.
901
00:44:59,451 --> 00:45:00,995
There's more to life
than cheap sneakers.
902
00:45:01,020 --> 00:45:02,275
This is not a fraternity, alright.
903
00:45:02,300 --> 00:45:03,655
We're a news network,
we got work to do...
904
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,215
Mel, Jim, I got this idea...
905
00:45:05,240 --> 00:45:06,560
that hits exactly
what you're talking about.
906
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:07,760
- What is it?
- Anybody want coffee?
907
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:09,440
The orphans, right.
908
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,715
Okay, Rachel, bring up JFK.
909
00:45:11,740 --> 00:45:14,047
Okay, you remember those old
rockin rollers from years ago...
910
00:45:14,072 --> 00:45:15,540
they sang "We Are The World."
911
00:45:15,720 --> 00:45:17,480
Well, how about we get a copy
of the old video of them...
912
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,155
singing their hearts out, you know,
noble, caring humanity...
913
00:45:20,180 --> 00:45:23,020
the world coming together,
brighter day and all that shit.
914
00:45:23,300 --> 00:45:26,460
We intercut it
with shots of these orphans.
915
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:27,936
I mean, these orphans are alive...
916
00:45:27,961 --> 00:45:29,440
but hell, we could get
some dead ones.
917
00:45:29,620 --> 00:45:32,015
You know and you cut back and forth
between these wonderful lyrics...
918
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,600
and maybe go instrumental like a...
919
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,560
like violins over the orphans,
I mean...
920
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,135
Christ, who in their right mind
would ever tune that out...
921
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,640
and go to the home shopping
network, I ask you?
922
00:45:40,820 --> 00:45:42,620
Mel, the border just came alive.
923
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,080
It's a hell of an idea,
Matthew, work on it.
924
00:45:45,260 --> 00:45:46,675
But also you could superimpose...
925
00:45:46,700 --> 00:45:49,460
a face of the rock musicians on
the orphans to make them look like...
926
00:45:49,540 --> 00:45:50,940
they're playing the instruments.
927
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:52,275
Or you could take the...
928
00:45:52,300 --> 00:45:54,420
the orphans faces and put them
on the rock musicians...
929
00:45:54,500 --> 00:45:57,340
and make them look like
they're singing...
930
00:45:57,420 --> 00:46:00,620
Or you could take a hologram
of one of the rock, musicians...
931
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,816
and put them amongst the orphans...
932
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,880
Mary Anne?
933
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:10,958
Is anybody listening to me
in Brownsville?
934
00:46:10,983 --> 00:46:12,436
Mary Anne? Hello?
935
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,200
Mel, I'm having trouble
hearing you.
936
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:21,080
Theres huge numbers
of Mexicans pouring over the border.
937
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,640
I'm ready.
938
00:46:23,720 --> 00:46:25,655
"And these people
streaming across...
939
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,040
the Rio Grande
from Mexico into Texas...
940
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:29,535
are moving north
for the same reason...
941
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,155
as those in California, Arizona
and New Mexico."
942
00:46:33,180 --> 00:46:37,980
- "A fear that Governor..."
- "Mel, why am I here in Boise?"
943
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,320
"My parents crossed the border,
just like those people are now."
944
00:46:41,500 --> 00:46:44,460
"I should be on the border,
not Mary Anne Wong."
945
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,600
Christina, I can't have Mexicans
covering Mexicans.
946
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,399
and Arabs covering Arabs.
947
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,080
Mel, its L.A.
948
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,480
Later, Christina.
949
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,080
Okay, people, teamwork!
950
00:47:00,105 --> 00:47:01,957
"Let's go now to Los Angeles
where the mayor...
951
00:47:01,982 --> 00:47:03,678
Javier Clarke is speaking."
952
00:47:13,060 --> 00:47:15,180
Shit. Simul...
953
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,195
Where the hell's
simultaneous translation?
954
00:47:17,220 --> 00:47:18,420
- What?
- Where's Domingo?
955
00:47:18,500 --> 00:47:20,380
- Domingo!
- Domingo's wife is having a baby.
956
00:47:20,628 --> 00:47:24,798
Wait. Christina?
957
00:47:24,823 --> 00:47:29,460
- Christina, honey, I need you to...
- Don't honey me. You cut me off.
958
00:47:29,740 --> 00:47:32,308
It was a snafoo, Darling,
please, listen to me.
959
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,075
We're patching up a feed from L.A.
960
00:47:34,100 --> 00:47:37,060
Do me a favor and
do the simultaneous translation.
961
00:47:37,240 --> 00:47:39,035
I'm a reporter, not a translator.
962
00:47:39,060 --> 00:47:41,900
Christina, I'm begging you, okay.
963
00:47:42,180 --> 00:47:44,100
For all that we've meant
to each other?
964
00:47:44,380 --> 00:47:46,100
All we've meant to each other?
965
00:47:46,180 --> 00:47:50,860
Are you crazy? Never.
966
00:47:53,020 --> 00:47:56,193
And there is no question
of the so-called border...
967
00:47:56,218 --> 00:47:59,035
being closed unless we agree.
968
00:47:59,060 --> 00:48:00,660
Just because Mr. Farley...
969
00:48:00,740 --> 00:48:03,871
and his anglos
want to set the clock back...
970
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,920
and keep us in our place
for the next two centuries...
971
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,515
whatever the politicians up North
want to do, that's there problem...
972
00:48:11,540 --> 00:48:13,860
but here its different.
973
00:48:14,240 --> 00:48:16,960
The border is no longer just
a matter for Washington...
974
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,280
or the Senor Farleys
of the world, no.
975
00:48:20,460 --> 00:48:23,020
We have as much to say
over the border...
976
00:48:23,100 --> 00:48:25,380
as any bureaucrat in Washington.
977
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:29,800
See, Los Angeles is not simply
American territory anymore...
978
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,240
I mean, just listen to our name...
979
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,957
- Los Angeles.
- What is she doing?
980
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,360
Letting us all know how much
you've meant to each other.
981
00:48:39,940 --> 00:48:42,340
These are the names
that our people gave them...
982
00:48:42,420 --> 00:48:44,940
before the lands were ripped them
from their ancestors...
983
00:48:45,220 --> 00:48:47,260
and distributed them
among the anglos!
984
00:49:01,300 --> 00:49:03,140
Well, who do we have there, anybody?
985
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,520
Mohammed Amin!
986
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,960
"Over there! The roof sniper!"
987
00:49:15,180 --> 00:49:17,500
"We are trying to establish
contact with reporter...
988
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,200
Mohammad Amin."
989
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,855
- "Mohammad?"
- "Helena, you see them shooting!"
990
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:26,635
"It is still going on. I saw three.
Maybe four snipers on the roof."
991
00:49:26,660 --> 00:49:29,557
"One was wearing the colors
of one of the city's black gangs...
992
00:49:29,582 --> 00:49:32,080
and they said that
they will stop the Latinos...
993
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,480
from completely
takin over Los Angeles."
994
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:35,560
"The black gangs have said...
995
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:39,040
they will not recognize
Mexican authority here!"
996
00:49:39,420 --> 00:49:41,514
"Does anybody here speak English?"
997
00:49:44,100 --> 00:49:45,334
"Anybody?"
998
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,560
"Arabic?"
999
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,360
That is why I'm closing
the damn border.
1000
00:49:54,740 --> 00:49:57,460
Governor,
Colonel McNally on the phone.
1001
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,773
Governor, we can see two bus
loads of orphans...
1002
00:50:05,866 --> 00:50:08,920
being unloaded the other side
of the border here.
1003
00:50:09,100 --> 00:50:11,780
"I just want to clarify
our mission with...
1004
00:50:11,860 --> 00:50:13,980
respect to these children."
1005
00:50:14,260 --> 00:50:16,455
What do we do,
if they march them up...
1006
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,800
between us and the Federal troops?
1007
00:50:24,620 --> 00:50:26,340
"You could always tell
when a crisis...
1008
00:50:26,420 --> 00:50:29,060
started really affecting us."
1009
00:50:29,340 --> 00:50:33,820
"When it gets too close to home,
all the bad taste jokes cease."
1010
00:50:34,163 --> 00:50:36,920
"And when the orphans move up
to the Idaho border...
1011
00:50:36,945 --> 00:50:41,680
people started looking harder
at the images of those kids."
1012
00:50:41,860 --> 00:50:43,980
"Of the soldiers."
1013
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,120
"And the ordinary people,
like themselves."
1014
00:50:49,100 --> 00:50:51,260
What the hell are they doing bringing
orphans to a fucking war zone?
1015
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,575
Vinnie, for Christ sake
shut up, we're taping you, moron.
1016
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,555
I'm going to give this woman
a piece of my mind.
1017
00:50:55,580 --> 00:50:58,060
Vinnie, don't go down there.
1018
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:00,800
"Come on, fellas!"
1019
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:03,760
Eddie, what's going on?
1020
00:51:03,940 --> 00:51:05,820
Show me a picture.
What's happening there?
1021
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,320
"You cocksucker!"
1022
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,160
"Hey, Mel."
1023
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:17,160
"You know, we're just
looking for my contact lens."
1024
00:51:17,540 --> 00:51:20,060
- "Here it is. It's right here."
- "Great!"
1025
00:51:20,140 --> 00:51:21,604
"Alright, I guess we're ready then."
1026
00:51:21,820 --> 00:51:24,230
- "Yeah, got it."
- "Alright, lets shoot."
1027
00:51:24,255 --> 00:51:26,355
Idiots.
1028
00:51:26,380 --> 00:51:28,740
And with no sign that
the deadline will be...
1029
00:51:28,765 --> 00:51:32,540
extended by the President both sides
are hardening their positions.
1030
00:51:32,720 --> 00:51:36,240
Federal troops are arriving
at Hill Air Base in Northern Utah.
1031
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,800
"So far, more than 8,000
combat ready troops are there...
1032
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,720
under the command
of General Charles Buford."
1033
00:51:46,357 --> 00:51:49,680
"Buford was second-in-command of
the army unit sent into Algeria...
1034
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,600
to rescue the hundreds of
American oil workers...
1035
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:55,280
facing execution
by Islamic fundamentalists."
1036
00:52:23,300 --> 00:52:27,500
What the hell is he doing?
1037
00:52:59,020 --> 00:53:02,340
I've been waiting twelve years
for this candy-ass.
1038
00:53:02,420 --> 00:53:05,975
Hey, Chuck. Fuck you.
1039
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,560
No, you ain't.
Not after what you did to us...
1040
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,855
in the Persian Gulf, you...
1041
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:15,080
Why you puffed up piece a shit if
you hadn't been chasing headlines...
1042
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,120
I was supposed to get
into Kuwait city first.
1043
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,086
It was mine, goddamit.
1044
00:53:20,111 --> 00:53:25,155
Who's fault was it that you stopped,
for an interview with ABC news?
1045
00:53:25,180 --> 00:53:28,015
And you lied to me
about your position, didn't you?
1046
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:29,480
Of course I did, Chuck.
1047
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:33,040
It was a race,
and I got to Kuwait first!
1048
00:53:33,420 --> 00:53:35,020
Well, fuck you.
1049
00:53:35,500 --> 00:53:41,180
Well, you're kind of a sore loser,
aren't you, shithead?
1050
00:53:41,205 --> 00:53:44,460
Theres an incredible dignity
to something like this.
1051
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,280
There is?
1052
00:53:46,305 --> 00:53:48,760
Two military commanders
facing each other...
1053
00:53:48,785 --> 00:53:51,480
across a gulf of human passion.
1054
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:53,800
Its like General Lee...
1055
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,360
and General Grant meeting
after the Civil War.
1056
00:53:56,740 --> 00:53:58,140
And Lincoln would have been
waiting for Grant...
1057
00:53:58,220 --> 00:53:59,820
to report back to him.
1058
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:04,400
Wouldn't Lincoln have been dead
by the time Lee and Grant met?
1059
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,320
Whatever.
1060
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:12,560
Theres something compelling,
something eloquent about those two.
1061
00:54:12,940 --> 00:54:15,260
Blow it out your ass, you prick.
1062
00:54:15,540 --> 00:54:20,269
Fuck you, asshole.
Go find your mama.
1063
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:33,995
Intake, intake. C-Set 4.
It better be recording this.
1064
00:54:34,020 --> 00:54:37,240
- Where's it coming from?
- The Alamo, Trisha Lee.
1065
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:45,555
"The Alamo.
They've blown up the Alamo."
1066
00:54:45,580 --> 00:54:48,380
"There are crowds
of people all around..."
1067
00:54:48,405 --> 00:54:50,580
"It's like a celebration!"
1068
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:07,960
Do you speak English?
You speak English?
1069
00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:09,533
I don't understand you.
1070
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:14,240
Alamo gone.
1071
00:55:14,420 --> 00:55:16,900
No need to speak English no more.
1072
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,409
They trashed the Alamo.
1073
00:55:21,434 --> 00:55:25,520
Davy Crockett,
he whipped the Mexicans there.
1074
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,720
What kind of book you been getting
your information from, son?
1075
00:55:27,745 --> 00:55:30,040
Davie Crockett wasn't on
the winning team.
1076
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:31,960
Davie Crockett was a hero.
1077
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:33,360
The only reason
Davie Crocketts a hero...
1078
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,880
is because Disney figured out
how to make a buck off those hats.
1079
00:55:37,260 --> 00:55:40,180
Federal troops moving toward Idaho!
1080
00:55:51,884 --> 00:55:53,485
Governor?
1081
00:55:54,214 --> 00:55:55,462
Governor?
1082
00:55:57,060 --> 00:55:58,740
You spent the night here last night?
1083
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:00,235
Yeah.
1084
00:56:00,260 --> 00:56:01,915
I was thinking of
that beautiful piece of land...
1085
00:56:01,940 --> 00:56:03,180
I wanted to buy, out by the lake...
1086
00:56:03,205 --> 00:56:05,495
the one with its own boat dock.
Is that still available?
1087
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,360
Governor, I don't know, we got
an escalation problem on our hands.
1088
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,320
I should've bought it.
1089
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,160
I'd love to go out there for
a few days with Christina, just...
1090
00:56:12,393 --> 00:56:14,579
Governor, the Feds
have stopped their troops...
1091
00:56:14,604 --> 00:56:16,720
less than a mile from our border,
now, we got to get to the media...
1092
00:56:16,745 --> 00:56:18,320
and see some moral
high ground on this one.
1093
00:56:18,500 --> 00:56:21,780
I'm getting damn tired
of all this moral high ground.
1094
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:23,920
I prefer rolling around
in the mudd...
1095
00:56:24,100 --> 00:56:25,380
you meet more
interesting people there.
1096
00:56:25,460 --> 00:56:28,358
- It's the media, you got...
- I'm sick of the goddamn media.
1097
00:56:28,500 --> 00:56:31,100
That's how we got in this mess
in the first place.
1098
00:56:31,180 --> 00:56:32,860
Now, if Moses...
1099
00:56:32,940 --> 00:56:35,815
had public opinion polls
and TV cameras to contend with...
1100
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:37,400
he never would've lead his people
out of Egypt.
1101
00:56:37,580 --> 00:56:39,740
Look, Governor, we got no choice.
1102
00:56:39,820 --> 00:56:42,220
Now, all the troops in the world
ain't worth a squirrels dick...
1103
00:56:42,245 --> 00:56:44,340
unless we got those media whores
kissing our ass!
1104
00:56:44,420 --> 00:56:45,620
That's the problem.
1105
00:56:45,900 --> 00:56:47,933
People are terrified
of being called racist...
1106
00:56:47,958 --> 00:56:52,220
for tryin to preserve
their own culture.
1107
00:56:52,700 --> 00:56:54,860
Yeah? Hold on.
1108
00:56:54,940 --> 00:56:56,940
They want to know
what you want for breakfast.
1109
00:56:57,020 --> 00:56:59,457
- The usual.
- Fajitas.
1110
00:57:00,580 --> 00:57:03,700
And Matthew, Helena, these units
from the 173rd Airborne...
1111
00:57:03,725 --> 00:57:05,722
suddenly began taking up
positions here...
1112
00:57:05,747 --> 00:57:08,620
shortly after the news
of the Alamo came through.
1113
00:57:09,100 --> 00:57:10,860
"I'm talking to you
from just inside Utah...
1114
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:12,880
very close to the border with Idaho."
1115
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:13,960
"And just over here to my right...
1116
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,240
is the encampment
of Pakistani orphans where...
1117
00:57:16,420 --> 00:57:17,762
according to our information...
1118
00:57:17,787 --> 00:57:20,357
bus loads more
are expected to arrive today."
1119
00:57:21,300 --> 00:57:23,564
General, I know you don't trust
the media.
1120
00:57:23,589 --> 00:57:25,806
I'm with you a 100 percent on that,
absolutely, but I think...
1121
00:57:25,831 --> 00:57:27,075
you're missing
the opportunity here...
1122
00:57:27,100 --> 00:57:28,981
to counter attack
what's being said about you...
1123
00:57:29,006 --> 00:57:30,695
by these militia nut jobs...
1124
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:32,695
and these opportunistic
politicians and...
1125
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:38,240
Well, Mr. Franco,
you and the rest of your ilk...
1126
00:57:38,420 --> 00:57:42,420
are a carbuncle
on the ass of the military.
1127
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:44,600
Carbuncle.
1128
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,055
I'll try to put a good spin
on that word, General...
1129
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,195
because I'm sure you mean it
as some kind of compliment, right?
1130
00:57:49,220 --> 00:57:51,460
I ordered the media out
of this sector...
1131
00:57:51,485 --> 00:57:53,332
- and that includes you!
- But what about all...
1132
00:57:53,357 --> 00:57:54,575
that great press I gave you
during the Persian Gulf thing...
1133
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,006
- doesn't that count? Okay.
- Get out of here!
1134
00:58:00,577 --> 00:58:03,775
It's too bad, though,
I was going to give you this present.
1135
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,216
I guess I can give it
to somebody else, it's a tape of...
1136
00:58:06,241 --> 00:58:08,880
you in that Panama whorehouse
a couple years ago.
1137
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:10,080
If you don't mind my saying so,
General.
1138
00:58:10,105 --> 00:58:14,200
You didn't have any carbuncles
on your ass that night.
1139
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,000
Are there any more copies
of that tape?
1140
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,120
"Protests supporting both sides
of the Idaho conflict...
1141
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:24,880
are increasing
all over the country...
1142
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:26,960
in the wake of
the bombing of the Alamo."
1143
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:30,206
"As government officials fear more
serious outbreaks of violence...
1144
00:58:30,231 --> 00:58:34,015
there is trouble from an unexpected
source on the Idaho Utah border."
1145
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,013
"Blaine Gorman has more."
1146
00:58:36,038 --> 00:58:38,950
"Matthew, Helena, the Sioux Indians
on this reservation...
1147
00:58:38,975 --> 00:58:42,535
have issued a statement saying
that this conflict is and I quote...
1148
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,720
"Part of the white mans war
that we will not be drawn into."
1149
00:58:45,900 --> 00:58:47,595
"And in fact, they too,
like Governor Farley...
1150
00:58:47,620 --> 00:58:49,940
are closing the borders
to their big reservations."
1151
00:58:50,020 --> 00:58:51,300
"The Indians are receiving support...
1152
00:58:51,380 --> 00:58:53,660
from dozens of other fans
all across America..."
1153
00:58:54,700 --> 00:58:56,900
It's getting to be a tad ridiculous.
1154
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,360
Mr. President, I mean,
a bunch of Indians on the war path.
1155
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,000
If I may be so blunt,
who gives a shit?
1156
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:04,400
We do.
1157
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,198
That reservation is right smack...
1158
00:59:06,223 --> 00:59:08,840
between our troops
and the Idaho border.
1159
00:59:09,020 --> 00:59:12,380
The Sioux, aren't they the ones
who wiped out General Custer?
1160
00:59:12,460 --> 00:59:14,740
Yes, Sir. Not far from there.
1161
00:59:15,020 --> 00:59:18,940
Well, I'm not going to have
another General Custer on my hands.
1162
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,000
I intend to take
the appropriate action...
1163
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,760
to ensure this does not happen.
1164
00:59:26,100 --> 00:59:29,260
Can't we just let them have
another casino or something?
1165
00:59:33,780 --> 00:59:36,660
"This is News Net."
1166
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:39,760
"Good evening.
I'm Matthew Langford."
1167
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:41,440
"And I'm Helena Newman."
1168
00:59:41,620 --> 00:59:43,975
"There are now less than
forty-one hours left...
1169
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,760
in the countdown
to the Idaho crisis."
1170
00:59:46,940 --> 00:59:49,175
"And the White House
has announced the granting of...
1171
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:52,880
gambling licenses
to the Lacoda Sioux Indian tribe...
1172
00:59:52,905 --> 00:59:55,080
for a casino next to
the little big horn...
1173
00:59:55,460 --> 00:59:57,740
where General Custer was killed
when he lead his troops..."
1174
00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:59,240
There's nothing sacred.
1175
00:59:59,420 --> 01:00:02,380
Next they'll be paving
Gettysburg, or worse, Disneyland...
1176
01:00:02,460 --> 01:00:04,380
Jim? Jim Kalla,
I need you in Washington!
1177
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:11,215
"More than anything else,
what the Idaho crisis has done...
1178
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,960
is to highlight all the fractions
all the divisions in America."
1179
01:00:15,140 --> 01:00:16,700
"And no where are they closer
to the surface...
1180
01:00:16,780 --> 01:00:19,180
than in the House of
Representatives in Washington."
1181
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:20,640
Time out here!
1182
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:21,960
If you got a problem
with something...
1183
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:23,040
"It's become kind of...
1184
01:00:23,065 --> 01:00:26,800
a political bazaar built
on the ruins of the melting pot."
1185
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:29,603
Hey, translator! Come on over here.
1186
01:00:29,628 --> 01:00:31,235
What the hell's he saying?
1187
01:00:31,260 --> 01:00:33,700
We don't, we're aware of
the deals that the other groups...
1188
01:00:33,725 --> 01:00:36,180
the nation has come
against us Chinese.
1189
01:00:36,460 --> 01:00:37,735
Hey, man, this is Washington!
1190
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,360
This is what we do here,
make deals! You understand?
1191
01:00:40,385 --> 01:00:42,500
"The situation here changes hourly."
1192
01:00:42,780 --> 01:00:46,340
"What this crisis comes down to
is wheeling and dealing."
1193
01:00:46,820 --> 01:00:50,380
"Most of it orchestrated by
the White House and Kenya Nkomo...
1194
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,080
the leader of the nation
of Islam caucus...
1195
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:54,880
before being elected to congress...
1196
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:57,240
he made his name
on the streets of Los Angeles...
1197
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,520
as one of its most feared
gang leaders."
1198
01:01:00,700 --> 01:01:02,940
"Every party's
demanding concessions...
1199
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:05,080
in exchange for
their supporting the President."
1200
01:01:05,260 --> 01:01:07,860
"If he needs to use force
against Idaho."
1201
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:11,120
"Now, I'm standing here next to
Congressmen Singh of Alabama."
1202
01:01:11,500 --> 01:01:12,812
"Congressman Singh."
1203
01:01:12,837 --> 01:01:14,740
"What concessions did you get
from the White House?"
1204
01:01:14,820 --> 01:01:16,420
"A great deal for my people."
1205
01:01:16,700 --> 01:01:19,220
"I told Mr. Buchan,
from the White House...
1206
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,320
you all want our support
against Idaho, fine."
1207
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,935
"But you all have to give us
three thousand acres in Alabama...
1208
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:28,080
and the money to build our temples."
1209
01:01:28,260 --> 01:01:31,860
"And he said, "No problem."
So, no problem!"
1210
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:35,520
"No problem.
Jim Kalla, News Net."
1211
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:50,240
Can't make an omelet without
busting some sacred eggs.
1212
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:53,400
We're making history here.
1213
01:01:56,500 --> 01:01:58,820
And you ain't us, aren't you?
1214
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,760
- No, I'm not.
- You should be.
1215
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:07,160
Why not?
1216
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:12,680
Maybe because I'm a reporter,
I ain't with anybody.
1217
01:02:12,860 --> 01:02:17,580
Maybe because too many sacred eggs
are getting busted.
1218
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:19,600
See, I road the buses
back in the sixties...
1219
01:02:19,780 --> 01:02:26,220
to bring people together,
pretty unfashionable now, isn't it?
1220
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:36,920
Your wife, she's Jewish, ain't she?
1221
01:02:40,140 --> 01:02:43,740
You know, I've forgotten what she is.
1222
01:02:43,820 --> 01:02:47,940
All I remember is that
we met on the back of a bus.
1223
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,560
Hey!
Is the Governor in the car?
1224
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,120
Well, has anybody seen him?
1225
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,120
I'll be dipped in dog shit.
1226
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,800
Where the hell are you?
1227
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:02,720
Son of a bitch.
1228
01:03:06,340 --> 01:03:10,460
Governor?
Governor?
1229
01:03:10,740 --> 01:03:13,580
Jesus Christ,
Governor, scooch over.
1230
01:03:16,140 --> 01:03:17,420
Jesus, I've been looking
all over hell for you...
1231
01:03:17,500 --> 01:03:19,475
She always parks right over there.
1232
01:03:19,500 --> 01:03:22,717
You see that empty parking space,
that's her.
1233
01:03:22,742 --> 01:03:25,555
Governor, we've got crisis
after crisis going on in there...
1234
01:03:25,580 --> 01:03:27,076
You want to know
about crisis, Jimmy?
1235
01:03:27,101 --> 01:03:28,715
She won't even look at me now.
1236
01:03:28,740 --> 01:03:30,500
Jesus.
1237
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:37,640
There she is!
1238
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,080
Governor!
1239
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,640
I knew she'd come back.
1240
01:03:58,380 --> 01:04:01,020
What the hell is she doing?
1241
01:04:05,420 --> 01:04:08,940
Christina, are you all right?
1242
01:04:09,220 --> 01:04:13,540
Christina? Are you all right?
1243
01:04:13,565 --> 01:04:15,935
No. Not really.
1244
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:19,200
What we're you doing
behind that tree?
1245
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:24,440
I was barfing. I have to go.
1246
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,200
What's going on?
1247
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:37,120
She's pregnant.
I'm going to be a father.
1248
01:04:37,500 --> 01:04:39,620
And if it's a boy...
1249
01:04:39,700 --> 01:04:42,900
we're going to call it
Juan Pablo Farley.
1250
01:04:54,100 --> 01:04:58,140
I got you hooked up again.
It was a faulty switch.
1251
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:01,040
Hey, I owe you one.
1252
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:05,640
No, you don't.
How's Arla doing?
1253
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,280
She has good days and bad days.
1254
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:13,040
- What did the doctor say?
- Nothing I want to hear.
1255
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:15,960
- Say hello for me.
- I will.
1256
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,800
I came across another great line.
1257
01:05:27,980 --> 01:05:30,700
"The best lack all conviction
while the worst...
1258
01:05:30,780 --> 01:05:33,260
are full of passionate intensity."
1259
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:36,440
That is a good line.
1260
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:42,200
The poets, nobody pays enough
attention to the poets anymore.
1261
01:05:42,380 --> 01:05:44,900
Good night, Godfrey.
1262
01:05:51,540 --> 01:05:54,860
Hey, what the hell's going on?
1263
01:05:55,140 --> 01:05:57,620
They're movin them out.
1264
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,325
Man. Jesus Christ.
1265
01:06:00,388 --> 01:06:04,920
Come on, enough is enough.
1266
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:11,904
You know what? I had it with you.
1267
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:14,223
All you do is use
the wide angle lens...
1268
01:06:14,248 --> 01:06:16,366
so it looks like there's
less orphans than there really is.
1269
01:06:16,554 --> 01:06:18,480
Lady, I don't have
an orphan lens, okay?
1270
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:20,474
- I use a normal everyday lens...
- Yeah.
1271
01:06:20,499 --> 01:06:22,005
if we we're
the "Save the Children" fund...
1272
01:06:22,030 --> 01:06:25,344
you wouldn't use a wide angle lens,
you would use a telephoto lens.
1273
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,000
- You're a big expert, right?
- Yes, I am.
1274
01:06:28,109 --> 01:06:29,358
- Thank you.
- The hell are you talking about?
1275
01:06:29,383 --> 01:06:33,100
I'm talking about media, asshole.
Well, fuck reality, this is image!
1276
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:35,624
Fuck the media, these kids
shouldn't camp near the border!
1277
01:06:35,649 --> 01:06:38,085
You know what, if these kids we're
not near the border...
1278
01:06:38,110 --> 01:06:39,273
you wouldn't have your story.
1279
01:06:39,298 --> 01:06:42,555
It is my constitutional right
to do as I see fit.
1280
01:06:42,580 --> 01:06:44,755
Alright, you know what?
You are a fascist.
1281
01:06:44,780 --> 01:06:45,780
Do you know that?
1282
01:06:45,805 --> 01:06:47,078
- How do yo feel about that? Yeah.
- I'm a fascist?
1283
01:06:47,103 --> 01:06:48,580
That's what you call everybody...
1284
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:50,320
Yeah, Blaine?
1285
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:52,240
I want you to get
that idiot a message.
1286
01:06:52,620 --> 01:06:56,460
You tell him that you never
get in the middle of a story.
1287
01:06:56,540 --> 01:06:58,420
- "He's fired, as of now!"
- Burgess is going crazy.
1288
01:06:58,500 --> 01:07:00,340
He says you're fired again.
1289
01:07:00,620 --> 01:07:04,460
Really? Fuck it.
I'm done. I'm out!
1290
01:07:04,740 --> 01:07:06,700
Vinnie, will you do us all a favor
and just shut up?
1291
01:07:06,780 --> 01:07:08,735
That's all we ever do
around here, Blaine, is shut up.
1292
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:10,240
Well, don't be an idiot,
we're in the news business.
1293
01:07:10,265 --> 01:07:12,360
We're a wall of noise, Blaine!
Wake the fuck up.
1294
01:07:12,385 --> 01:07:13,780
You know what, I quit. I'm done!
1295
01:07:13,860 --> 01:07:15,820
I'm going back to New York,
I'm going to tie one on.
1296
01:07:15,900 --> 01:07:16,900
I'm going to finish that novel...
1297
01:07:16,980 --> 01:07:18,220
I started a couple years back,
because you know what?
1298
01:07:18,300 --> 01:07:20,380
It's just about a big enough
piece a shit to become a best seller!
1299
01:07:20,660 --> 01:07:22,300
And then I'm going to take the money,
move down to the Bahamas...
1300
01:07:22,380 --> 01:07:23,460
the only time
I'll see you fucking guys...
1301
01:07:23,540 --> 01:07:25,780
is when I'm channel surfing.
I fucking quit. I've had it.
1302
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:27,720
Fuck you, fuck him, everybody!
1303
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:29,960
that's too bad, Vinnie,
we could've used you.
1304
01:07:30,140 --> 01:07:31,420
I hear Mel's thinking
of bringing in one of those...
1305
01:07:31,500 --> 01:07:33,180
young CNN producers, anyway.
1306
01:07:33,460 --> 01:07:37,900
- What?
- Well, that's what I heard.
1307
01:07:38,180 --> 01:07:40,460
Really?
1308
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:49,240
Fuck.
1309
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:52,880
Come on, we got a lot
of work to do. Let's go!
1310
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:55,640
It is our understanding...
1311
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:58,295
that General Buford has been
ordered to march the orphans...
1312
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:00,279
to the border
and formerly demand that...
1313
01:08:00,304 --> 01:08:03,160
Governor Jim Farley allow
them passage into Idaho.
1314
01:08:03,540 --> 01:08:05,740
Clearly, Governor Farley
is going to be the man of the hour.
1315
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:16,471
Governor?
1316
01:08:16,496 --> 01:08:18,400
Governor
You really want to get down off
that damn ledge there.
1317
01:08:18,480 --> 01:08:20,360
You don't want
to be slipping or nothing.
1318
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:22,840
I'm terrified of heights myself.
1319
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:24,880
Shit.
1320
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:28,640
Look at that commotion down there.
News crews.
1321
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:31,960
National Guard, crowds.
1322
01:08:32,140 --> 01:08:34,500
Yeah, I just realized something,
I created that,
1323
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:35,840
Well, you sure as hell did,
Governor.
1324
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:37,400
Now, why don't you just
come down there off the edge...
1325
01:08:37,480 --> 01:08:39,395
- you know you could slip...
- I love the edge.
1326
01:08:39,420 --> 01:08:41,180
That's where life is.
1327
01:08:41,460 --> 01:08:43,580
I know that about you, Governor.
That's for sure.
1328
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:46,400
And nothing ever happens
in the middle, the edge.
1329
01:08:46,480 --> 01:08:47,920
That's where it all happens.
1330
01:08:48,100 --> 01:08:50,820
- You still fuck your wife?
- What?
1331
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:52,880
Yeah, after a few years.
1332
01:08:53,060 --> 01:08:56,220
It fades.
The mating urge, I mean.
1333
01:08:56,400 --> 01:09:00,480
I haven't slept with Eleanor
for three years.
1334
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:02,320
We're all just animals,
you know that, don't you?
1335
01:09:02,500 --> 01:09:04,900
Yeah, I know that Governor,
but the White House...
1336
01:09:04,980 --> 01:09:07,195
- has Federal troops coming in...
- Scratching for our...
1337
01:09:07,220 --> 01:09:08,780
little piece of turf.
1338
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:10,845
Mating like animals
for a few years...
1339
01:09:10,870 --> 01:09:14,440
all in the name of that thing
they call romance and then it fades.
1340
01:09:15,740 --> 01:09:17,475
The males have to go
looking somewhere else...
1341
01:09:17,500 --> 01:09:20,380
- to plant their seed.
- Jesus.
1342
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,920
Juan Pablo Farley!
1343
01:09:24,100 --> 01:09:26,740
John Paul in Spanish,
named after the last Pope.
1344
01:09:27,220 --> 01:09:29,420
Governor, I don't think we want
to get into that right now.
1345
01:09:29,500 --> 01:09:30,820
I mean, we got
our National Guard...
1346
01:09:30,900 --> 01:09:33,220
keeping out about a million
Juan Pablos right now.
1347
01:09:33,300 --> 01:09:35,460
Well, hell yes! That's because there
is a million of them...
1348
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:40,400
but one single Juan Pablo,
one cute little kid.
1349
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,975
One future leader that'll take
our nation to greatness...
1350
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:48,160
you're telling me
we keep him out? My son?
1351
01:09:48,440 --> 01:09:51,360
No way!
1352
01:10:00,260 --> 01:10:01,780
- Jack?
- Yes, Sir?
1353
01:10:01,860 --> 01:10:03,230
Who allowed the media in here?
1354
01:10:03,300 --> 01:10:05,635
Well, its better to have them on
the inside of the tent pissing out...
1355
01:10:05,660 --> 01:10:08,460
than outside the tent pissing in.
1356
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:14,280
All right, let's start
at the beginning.
1357
01:10:14,460 --> 01:10:17,012
How the hell do we stop this thing?
It's already gone too far.
1358
01:10:17,820 --> 01:10:20,340
We can order General Buford
to withdraw his troops.
1359
01:10:20,620 --> 01:10:22,100
That's weakness.
1360
01:10:22,180 --> 01:10:26,500
Well, then we can wait
for the deadline and attack.
1361
01:10:26,780 --> 01:10:29,580
- Madness.
- Well, its one thing or the other.
1362
01:10:29,660 --> 01:10:32,100
I know which one I would choose.
1363
01:10:32,480 --> 01:10:36,720
Mr. President,
the public hates weakness.
1364
01:10:36,900 --> 01:10:41,300
It shows up in all the polls.
1365
01:10:41,580 --> 01:10:42,961
Well, we've got another problem...
1366
01:10:42,986 --> 01:10:44,940
and you're not
going to want to hear it.
1367
01:10:45,220 --> 01:10:46,715
When we set these deadlines...
1368
01:10:46,740 --> 01:10:49,820
we we're presuming
that it wouldn't go this far.
1369
01:10:49,900 --> 01:10:52,020
If the shit hits the fan...
1370
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:55,920
it's going to wind up spilling over
into "All My Children."
1371
01:10:56,100 --> 01:10:58,100
For Christ sake!
1372
01:11:04,460 --> 01:11:06,860
Mel, I'm trying to find Vinnie.
1373
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:10,640
He took the minicam and
said he smelled a better story.
1374
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:13,800
I got to go,
they're movin out now.
1375
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:28,160
Mel, you dimwitted schmuck, its me.
Your favorite person in the world.
1376
01:11:28,440 --> 01:11:30,920
Vinnie!
How are you doing, Vinnie?
1377
01:11:31,100 --> 01:11:34,700
Where are you? Palm Beach?
Basking at Malibu?
1378
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:36,160
I'm on the Idaho side of the border.
1379
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:38,400
I'm about to send back the most
important shots of the whole crisis.
1380
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:39,261
"You know something, Vinnie...
1381
01:11:39,286 --> 01:11:41,440
I don't even know
why I'm talking to you."
1382
01:11:41,620 --> 01:11:44,580
If I'm not mistaken, you we're fired.
1383
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:46,440
Really? That's great.
Because now that I'm a freelancer...
1384
01:11:46,465 --> 01:11:48,880
that means you have to pay me
a whole lot of money for these shots.
1385
01:11:49,060 --> 01:11:51,220
Or hire me back with a raise.
1386
01:11:51,500 --> 01:11:54,700
Vinnie, there is
zero probability of that.
1387
01:11:54,780 --> 01:11:57,580
Yeah?
Take a look at this, my friend.
1388
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:03,000
It's a cowboy boot.
1389
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:04,760
What does that have to do
with anything?
1390
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:06,440
The gonzo has lost his mind.
1391
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:09,240
Wait. Vinnie, it's Jim.
1392
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:11,240
Move in on the shoulder patches.
1393
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:13,560
"Excuse me, would you mind
turning around?"
1394
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:17,200
"Jim, you're on the verge
of breaking the code, I can tell."
1395
01:12:17,580 --> 01:12:19,900
Since when have you ever seen
cowboy boots on a guardsman...
1396
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:21,720
except in that peace
we had last year...
1397
01:12:21,900 --> 01:12:23,660
about that group
that is in Montana?
1398
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:25,960
Montana? What does
that have to do with anything?
1399
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:29,920
Look at the shoulder patches,
Montana National Guard.
1400
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:34,840
"Told you, now look here.
Hey guys, how are things in Fargo?"
1401
01:12:35,220 --> 01:12:36,900
We're from Bismarck.
1402
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:41,640
North Dakota.
1403
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,040
Jesus Christ, if the Governors
from the other states...
1404
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:46,800
are sending
in their National Guards...
1405
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:48,080
"News Net has just learned that...
1406
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:51,000
America is on the brink
of a Civil War."
1407
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:54,360
"It is no longer just Idaho
against the Federal Government."
1408
01:12:54,740 --> 01:12:55,940
"Our Producer, Vince Franco...
1409
01:12:56,020 --> 01:12:59,860
has just sent these images of troops
from Montana, North Dakota...
1410
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:03,640
and possibly other states
that are prepared to fight."
1411
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:19,520
"Sometimes the choice
between war and peace...
1412
01:13:19,900 --> 01:13:21,940
between survival
and destruction...
1413
01:13:22,020 --> 01:13:25,780
can hang on a gesture,
a word, and a reflection."
1414
01:13:26,060 --> 01:13:28,740
"After any major crisis,
we could always look back...
1415
01:13:28,820 --> 01:13:30,940
and find out that one moment
that'd change it all."
1416
01:13:31,020 --> 01:13:33,820
"That instant when a line
is drawn in the sand...
1417
01:13:34,300 --> 01:13:36,420
and there's no turning back."
1418
01:13:46,540 --> 01:13:50,020
Well, you're actions
are unconstitutional and illegal...
1419
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:52,960
I'm ordering you
to remove this road block.
1420
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:57,720
You posing for the cameras again,
Chuck?
1421
01:13:57,800 --> 01:13:59,640
My orders come from the President.
1422
01:13:59,920 --> 01:14:01,541
What I got to do is ensure...
1423
01:14:01,566 --> 01:14:04,295
that these children are admitted
into the state of Idaho.
1424
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:07,595
Well, I have orders
from the Governor of Idaho...
1425
01:14:07,620 --> 01:14:11,500
to see that that does not happen.
1426
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:14,315
Well, you know there won't be
no second chance, don't you?
1427
01:14:14,340 --> 01:14:16,654
Wrong again. Chuck.
1428
01:14:16,679 --> 01:14:23,427
This is your second chance
to be first, into Kuwait.
1429
01:14:26,500 --> 01:14:28,900
How dare you?
1430
01:14:33,660 --> 01:14:36,260
Turn the little rag heads around.
1431
01:14:38,540 --> 01:14:41,500
By the way, you still owe me
a case of whiskey...
1432
01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:46,881
from that card game in Sarajevo,
you cheap son of a bitch.
1433
01:14:53,420 --> 01:14:55,540
What's going on?
1434
01:14:55,620 --> 01:15:01,195
Retreating is not an option!
Fuck this fascist shit!
1435
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:05,080
No!
1436
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:06,835
Twenty hours to go, people.
1437
01:15:06,860 --> 01:15:10,700
Eleven states supporting Farley,
and counting.
1438
01:15:10,780 --> 01:15:12,994
Mel, the difference is,
is that this one here...
1439
01:15:13,019 --> 01:15:15,035
it has these three
little exclamation marks.
1440
01:15:15,060 --> 01:15:17,180
There are no exclamation marks.
1441
01:15:17,460 --> 01:15:19,615
Well, I could just sort
of have them fade off then...
1442
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:21,799
- just right after this thing...
- The country is falling apart...
1443
01:15:21,824 --> 01:15:23,120
we don't need
exclamation marks, okay?
1444
01:15:23,145 --> 01:15:24,535
Mel, I got an even better idea.
1445
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:27,520
A telethon like Jerry Lewis thing
only with orphans and all that stuff?
1446
01:15:27,700 --> 01:15:29,780
- Is this a work in progress?
- Mel, just think for one second...
1447
01:15:29,860 --> 01:15:32,060
its your own rule,
"The Three Ts of Great News...
1448
01:15:32,140 --> 01:15:33,620
tits, tots and tears."
1449
01:15:33,900 --> 01:15:35,762
Christ, we got two "T"s
right off the bat.
1450
01:15:35,787 --> 01:15:39,340
Then we get Helena to dress up
one of those pushup things...
1451
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:42,760
- It's a classic idea, Matthew.
- Then we got the three "T"s!
1452
01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:44,480
- Twenty hours left, Mel.
- Okay.
1453
01:15:44,860 --> 01:15:45,915
What's with Christina?
1454
01:15:45,940 --> 01:15:47,459
Nobody's going home tonight,
we're ordering in.
1455
01:15:47,484 --> 01:15:49,700
I could swear she's having
an affair with Farley.
1456
01:15:49,725 --> 01:15:52,260
God, I hope so, we can get
some milage out of it.
1457
01:15:52,285 --> 01:15:53,435
Don't be ridiculous...
1458
01:15:53,460 --> 01:15:56,055
this is a news outfit
not a gossip column.
1459
01:15:56,140 --> 01:15:58,475
Don't get pious with me, Alan.
1460
01:15:58,500 --> 01:16:00,334
We're talking
about what makes people tick...
1461
01:16:00,359 --> 01:16:03,075
If Christina is fucking
the Governor of Idaho...
1462
01:16:03,100 --> 01:16:05,279
it is nobody's business
but Christina's!
1463
01:16:05,304 --> 01:16:08,100
What, Alan, what'd you say?
1464
01:16:08,380 --> 01:16:10,860
Christina is what?
1465
01:16:11,140 --> 01:16:13,855
Christina is fucking
the Governor of Idaho?
1466
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:15,355
I know where you're
going with this thing, Mel.
1467
01:16:15,380 --> 01:16:16,975
- I don't believe this!
- Mel, you're not going to turn...
1468
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:19,735
that raving lunatic
into a human interest story!
1469
01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:20,920
- It's Christina.
- Jesus Christ.
1470
01:16:24,060 --> 01:16:26,100
Hello, Christina?
1471
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:29,560
Yeah, no, you look a little pale,
something new? What's the matter?
1472
01:16:30,820 --> 01:16:33,580
No, Christina. I don't need you
on the Mexican border.
1473
01:16:33,860 --> 01:16:36,820
I need you where you are in Idaho.
1474
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:39,925
And by the way, I,
I can't commend you enough...
1475
01:16:39,950 --> 01:16:44,140
on the job you're doing
with the Governor.
1476
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:47,920
Who are these guys,
they were'nt here an hour ago.
1477
01:16:48,100 --> 01:16:50,180
I got a battalion
of Chinese out here.
1478
01:16:51,480 --> 01:16:54,040
Hundreds of them.
1479
01:16:54,220 --> 01:16:55,540
What Chinese?
1480
01:16:55,820 --> 01:16:59,195
If that's Vinnie, I don't care if
he's got the ghost of Chairman Mao...
1481
01:16:59,220 --> 01:17:01,100
no overtime.
1482
01:17:01,180 --> 01:17:03,500
Have a nice day, Sandy.
1483
01:17:04,860 --> 01:17:07,940
Excuse me, who are you?
Where you from?
1484
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:10,295
Rhode Island.
1485
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:11,718
"The Colonel says to tell you...
1486
01:17:11,743 --> 01:17:13,800
that we are the Rhode Island
National Guard."
1487
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:15,240
"That we are American Citizens...
1488
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:17,837
who will do our duty
in this conflict..."
1489
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:25,680
Yeah?
1490
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:29,600
Sir? Sir?
1491
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:31,200
The Governor of Rhode Islands
on News Net.
1492
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:32,480
- What?
- The Governor of Rhode Islands...
1493
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:34,560
on News Net.
1494
01:17:34,740 --> 01:17:38,380
"Our actions in support of
Governor Farley have been taken...
1495
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:42,760
because of boat loads and planes
of refugees from Mainland China...
1496
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:45,720
who continue to descend
on Rhode Island...
1497
01:17:45,900 --> 01:17:50,020
it is becoming increasingly
difficult to cope and to govern."
1498
01:17:50,300 --> 01:17:53,380
"We therefore are supporting
the position taken by Idaho...
1499
01:17:53,460 --> 01:17:55,180
in closing its borders...
1500
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:58,920
and declaring that we too have
the right to close our borders...
1501
01:17:59,100 --> 01:18:00,700
as we see fit..."
1502
01:18:00,780 --> 01:18:04,740
- You know what they say, Jim?
- No, what do they say, sir?
1503
01:18:05,020 --> 01:18:10,420
Character is destiny.
We all have our destinys.
1504
01:18:10,700 --> 01:18:13,940
And I have mine.
1505
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:17,400
How soon are we going to be
on the plane?
1506
01:18:17,480 --> 01:18:19,560
Because we got to get there
by tonight, okay?
1507
01:18:19,742 --> 01:18:21,942
- God.
- Christina.
1508
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:23,680
What are you doing here?
1509
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,280
- I need to talk to you.
- There is nothing to talk about.
1510
01:18:26,460 --> 01:18:27,966
- Yes, there is.
- What?
1511
01:18:29,540 --> 01:18:33,100
I want to know what it would take
to make you change your mind.
1512
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:37,400
- You couldn't begin...
- Try me.
1513
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:42,480
Anything.
Just name it.
1514
01:18:44,740 --> 01:18:47,460
I want the man
I fell in love with.
1515
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:51,240
Terrific, I do just
as you advise.
1516
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:55,360
Dot every ethnic "I"
and cross every racial "T"...
1517
01:18:55,540 --> 01:18:58,020
and what do we get,
the goddamn Chinese...
1518
01:18:58,300 --> 01:19:00,180
our goddamn Chinese,
for Christ sake.
1519
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:02,560
Side with that prick Farley
and his red necks?
1520
01:19:02,740 --> 01:19:04,420
Is this what it's all about?
1521
01:19:04,500 --> 01:19:06,660
Sitting at the bottom
of the goddamn melting pot...
1522
01:19:06,740 --> 01:19:10,940
when it's all boiled away
and there's nothing left but lumps!
1523
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:13,920
Well, you can always renege
on that deal with Kenya Nkomo...
1524
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,440
and that nation of Islam group.
1525
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:19,240
How many Electoral College votes
do they control?
1526
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:23,520
Sixty, seventy on a good day.
1527
01:19:23,700 --> 01:19:28,820
- How about the Koreans?
- Well, twenty-six?
1528
01:19:29,100 --> 01:19:30,220
There's your answer.
1529
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:32,160
Well, no, not necessarily.
1530
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:35,080
We could let in
a million more Koreans.
1531
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:38,895
Jack up the Electoral Votes
to eighty and bingo...
1532
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:41,490
you've got them eating chop suey
right out of your hand.
1533
01:19:43,480 --> 01:19:44,920
- Mr. President?
- What?
1534
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:48,440
They've blown up
the Statue of Liberty.
1535
01:19:48,620 --> 01:19:51,620
"At the height of the Reagan era,
it was this...
1536
01:19:51,900 --> 01:19:53,895
a gala event
that thrilled American...
1537
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:57,360
when the refurbished
Statue of Liberty was unveiled."
1538
01:19:57,540 --> 01:20:00,300
"And tonight, it is this."
1539
01:20:00,380 --> 01:20:03,220
"A shattered mass
of steal and dreams."
1540
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:04,875
"A group calling itself...
1541
01:20:04,900 --> 01:20:07,553
Patriots for Farley
has claimed responsibility...
1542
01:20:07,578 --> 01:20:10,140
in a message phoned
into News Net that reads...
1543
01:20:10,420 --> 01:20:13,660
We will no longer take in
the huddled masses of the world..."
1544
01:20:13,740 --> 01:20:15,782
I need to know that I can trust you.
1545
01:20:22,620 --> 01:20:25,780
"Security around Americas
most revered historic sights...
1546
01:20:25,860 --> 01:20:28,060
such as the Liberty Bell
in Philadelphia...
1547
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:30,600
has been heightened in the wage
of the destruction of the Alamo..."
1548
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:33,560
All right, turn that thing off.
Everybody get back in their tents.
1549
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:35,560
I don't think so, Major.
1550
01:20:35,740 --> 01:20:37,620
I don't think I heard you right.
1551
01:20:39,480 --> 01:20:42,120
"You heard me, Major.
My sister lives in Idaho."
1552
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:44,400
"I didn't get into this army
to fight other Americans."
1553
01:20:44,580 --> 01:20:46,020
"Especially for this bullshit."
1554
01:20:46,100 --> 01:20:49,500
- "At ease, Sergeant."
- "Fuck you, Sir!"
1555
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:53,600
"No cameras!
I said, no cameras!"
1556
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:55,371
"Put it down, asshole!"
1557
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:00,400
"He shot the Major! My God!"
1558
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:05,000
"My God, they have shot the officer,
killed the officer in charge."
1559
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:07,320
- "They're shooting at others."
- "Hey, get that camera!"
1560
01:21:07,345 --> 01:21:10,760
They killed them.
They killed their own officer.
1561
01:21:11,340 --> 01:21:15,420
So, what do you expect,
you can only push people so far.
1562
01:21:15,500 --> 01:21:16,955
What the fuck are you talk...
1563
01:21:16,980 --> 01:21:18,420
What, are you trying
to justify murder here?
1564
01:21:18,445 --> 01:21:19,715
No.
You know, fuck you, Manieski!
1565
01:21:19,740 --> 01:21:21,353
Push me, you motherfucker.
1566
01:21:22,620 --> 01:21:24,420
Mutiny?
1567
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:28,320
But this is the army.
The U.S. Army.
1568
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:32,200
Shit.
1569
01:21:35,480 --> 01:21:38,040
You all obey orders now,
you hear me?
1570
01:21:38,065 --> 01:21:40,040
Goddamn!
1571
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:41,320
I think we should get out of here.
1572
01:21:41,345 --> 01:21:43,320
Not yet.
1573
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:46,720
- Now?
- Yeah.
1574
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:58,520
What are you getting
unravelled for now?
1575
01:21:58,700 --> 01:22:01,100
We're inside, not outside.
1576
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:03,360
Mel, you just don't get it, do you?
1577
01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:07,240
Its all outside, now.
Just get used to it.
1578
01:22:08,700 --> 01:22:10,660
There's desertions
all over the place.
1579
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:12,480
Well, tell Buford
to get some movement...
1580
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:13,920
anything to pull it all together.
1581
01:22:14,100 --> 01:22:15,780
Move some armored brigades out.
1582
01:22:16,060 --> 01:22:18,780
- We can't.
- What do you mean, "We can't?"
1583
01:22:18,860 --> 01:22:21,820
Most of the tanks need spare parts
for the turbine compressors.
1584
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:23,635
So, what am I,
a repair shop foreman?
1585
01:22:23,660 --> 01:22:25,540
Get the goddamn parts, fix them!
1586
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:29,360
- We can't.
- What are you telling me?
1587
01:22:29,740 --> 01:22:31,700
Hold on a minute.
1588
01:22:31,725 --> 01:22:32,900
Mr. President.
1589
01:22:32,925 --> 01:22:35,660
After the free-trade talks
you signed with Taiwan...
1590
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:40,000
we stopped making spare parts
because they could make them cheaper.
1591
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:44,240
And then you got into that argument,
that dialogue with them...
1592
01:22:44,711 --> 01:22:48,151
and they stopped shipping us
any military parts.
1593
01:22:48,340 --> 01:22:50,455
Let's look on the bright side,
shall we?
1594
01:22:50,480 --> 01:22:54,520
I mean, after all the glass
is really half full.
1595
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,680
I mean, about those seventy
Electoral College votes.
1596
01:22:57,860 --> 01:23:00,300
See, we don't really need
the nation of Islam...
1597
01:23:00,380 --> 01:23:03,580
the Chinese, the Koreans,
or hell, anybody.
1598
01:23:03,956 --> 01:23:07,540
What we do is take the Irish off
birth control...
1599
01:23:07,620 --> 01:23:10,460
they will breed like rabbits.
I know, they're my people.
1600
01:23:10,540 --> 01:23:12,135
They fuck like drunking minks...
1601
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:17,500
we'll be up to eighty votes
in no time at all, by God...
1602
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:24,320
Line them up!
1603
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:29,640
"And we're being ordered
out of the area now."
1604
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:31,400
"Military's ordered us away."
1605
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:33,480
"They're setting up
a firing squad right over here...
1606
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:35,040
this is not happened before."
1607
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:37,480
"They're going to execute three..."
1608
01:23:37,860 --> 01:23:40,020
- Hey, turn that camera off!
- Hey, what are you doing?
1609
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:41,240
Get the hell out of here!
1610
01:23:41,265 --> 01:23:42,680
What, you're not really
going to shoot these guys, are you?
1611
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:44,880
Who is this guy?
Get this guy out of here!
1612
01:23:45,060 --> 01:23:46,715
Are you going to shoot these guys?
1613
01:23:46,740 --> 01:23:48,420
What, now you're going to shoot me?
1614
01:23:48,445 --> 01:23:50,300
You're not going to shoot me.
You can't shoot me...
1615
01:23:50,325 --> 01:23:51,820
"we're on national television here,
okay?"
1616
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:53,743
"Come on, let these guys go..."
1617
01:23:56,460 --> 01:23:58,020
Get out of here!
1618
01:24:02,140 --> 01:24:05,180
"Go ahead! Kill your own!
Kill America!"
1619
01:24:05,460 --> 01:24:07,220
"There's nothing left of it anyway!"
1620
01:24:07,500 --> 01:24:10,220
"Just a bunch a politicians
and executives...
1621
01:24:10,300 --> 01:24:12,660
who hire people in places
we don't live!"
1622
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:14,200
"Are you going to kill for that?"
1623
01:24:14,480 --> 01:24:15,720
Squad ready!
1624
01:24:15,745 --> 01:24:17,355
Go ahead you bastards!
1625
01:24:17,380 --> 01:24:18,540
Aim.
1626
01:24:19,980 --> 01:24:21,180
"Fire!"
1627
01:24:22,700 --> 01:24:27,314
They shot them.
Shit! What is this?
1628
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:28,440
"Please, we're on the air."
1629
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:29,906
"In other news...
1630
01:24:29,931 --> 01:24:32,120
- related to this..."
- "Fuck this..."
1631
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:34,674
- We're killing our own people!
- Helena, we're on the air!
1632
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:38,480
In other news,
the White House has said...
1633
01:24:38,660 --> 01:24:40,140
that they will be making
a statement...
1634
01:24:40,420 --> 01:24:42,925
Fuck you, Matthew,
there is no other news!
1635
01:24:42,950 --> 01:24:45,100
About this, particular situation...
1636
01:24:45,180 --> 01:24:46,180
Get her off.
1637
01:24:46,260 --> 01:24:48,540
Our News Net correspondents
are there.
1638
01:24:48,820 --> 01:24:52,761
We will bring you this
when we hear it.
1639
01:24:52,786 --> 01:24:57,995
"And we have, I believe now,
four correspondents..."
1640
01:24:58,220 --> 01:25:00,540
at the White House, as soon as...
1641
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:04,320
- There is no other news!
- As soon as we are able...
1642
01:25:04,500 --> 01:25:08,620
Shut up! Shut up, you little wanker!
Shut up!
1643
01:25:08,900 --> 01:25:10,580
Don't you get it?
There is no other news!
1644
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:16,320
Shut up!
1645
01:25:55,520 --> 01:26:01,000
- This has to be your decision.
- It was made a long time ago.
1646
01:26:01,380 --> 01:26:03,700
I just don't want you
to feel like you have to...
1647
01:26:13,480 --> 01:26:15,595
Jimmy, I'm going to want
to make a statement...
1648
01:26:15,620 --> 01:26:18,860
to the press in the morning,
about an hour before the deadline.
1649
01:26:24,220 --> 01:26:28,340
Mr. Buchan.
1650
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,440
I have some information that
you might want to know about.
1651
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:41,920
Mr. President.
1652
01:26:47,980 --> 01:26:50,100
Secession!
1653
01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:53,055
He's going to announce one hour
before the deadline...
1654
01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:54,635
that Idaho's going to secede...
1655
01:26:54,660 --> 01:26:57,780
and start a whole new country
like the South did in the Civil War?
1656
01:26:57,960 --> 01:26:59,840
Well, that's what
this News Net guy said, yeah.
1657
01:26:59,987 --> 01:27:01,340
How the hell does he know?
1658
01:27:01,471 --> 01:27:03,120
Well, I'm not supposed
to know this...
1659
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:06,080
but it seems that
one of their reporters is...
1660
01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:07,412
shacking up with Farley.
1661
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:11,760
That son of a bitch.
He's waging a public relations war!
1662
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:13,140
You're damn right.
1663
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:14,320
And if I know anything...
1664
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:17,640
I know P.R. and
that is what runs this country!
1665
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:20,120
- Now, if Eisenhower we're...
- Forget Eisenhower.
1666
01:27:20,300 --> 01:27:23,780
Yeah, but don't forget,
you're on the line for those orphans.
1667
01:27:23,860 --> 01:27:27,260
Screw the orphans.
1668
01:27:27,540 --> 01:27:31,220
We went out on a limb for them,
what did they get us in return?
1669
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:36,360
Every damn ethnic group
in the country crying the blues.
1670
01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:40,920
This isn't a time for Eisenhower.
It's a time for Lincoln.
1671
01:27:41,100 --> 01:27:42,916
Lincoln took the bull
by the horns...
1672
01:27:42,941 --> 01:27:45,620
when the South
tried to secede gentlemen.
1673
01:27:45,900 --> 01:27:47,300
If Lincoln was here...
1674
01:27:47,380 --> 01:27:50,300
you think he'd let a bunch
of orphans decide everything?
1675
01:27:50,715 --> 01:27:54,820
I've said it all along, action.
1676
01:28:24,780 --> 01:28:27,380
Jesus Christ, what now?
1677
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:33,240
What the hell,
nobody lives forever.
1678
01:28:33,620 --> 01:28:35,380
Let's get a story!
1679
01:28:36,820 --> 01:28:38,660
This one's for the Duke.
1680
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:49,980
"This is Blaine Gorman reporting
from just inside the Idaho border."
1681
01:28:51,100 --> 01:28:52,498
"The Federal troops have attacked!"
1682
01:28:52,780 --> 01:28:55,420
"There is war. The Second Civil War
has just broken out...
1683
01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:57,160
two hours before the deadline."
1684
01:28:57,240 --> 01:29:00,040
"All around me are..."
1685
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:03,440
"Blaine!"
1686
01:29:09,380 --> 01:29:11,740
"It's too late, Eddie. Come on."
1687
01:29:18,340 --> 01:29:22,660
I'm trying to remember the words
to the pledge of allegiance.
1688
01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:29,200
I said it a million times
when I was a kid.
1689
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:32,880
Right now...
1690
01:29:39,420 --> 01:29:41,420
I can't seem to remember the words.
1691
01:29:45,540 --> 01:29:47,260
Jack?
1692
01:29:49,780 --> 01:29:52,260
What in God's name is this?
1693
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:55,680
- Action. Not a reaction.
- Why? Farley was going to quit!
1694
01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:00,828
What are you talking about?
1695
01:30:00,853 --> 01:30:02,867
You told me yourself
and we had to take action...
1696
01:30:02,892 --> 01:30:05,033
before Farley made
his secession speech.
1697
01:30:05,140 --> 01:30:10,815
I said succession, not secession.
1698
01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:14,320
He was going to step down.
1699
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:15,755
He was going to announce...
1700
01:30:15,780 --> 01:30:17,228
that he was going
to hold a convention...
1701
01:30:17,253 --> 01:30:21,460
to choose someone
to succeed him, for Christ sake!
1702
01:30:21,840 --> 01:30:23,280
What are you yelling for?
1703
01:30:23,305 --> 01:30:26,240
He's going to marry
Christina Fernandez...
1704
01:30:26,366 --> 01:30:28,380
and raise Mexican babies.
1705
01:30:33,660 --> 01:30:37,455
Well, the President's
in his Lincoln mode right now...
1706
01:30:37,480 --> 01:30:39,920
and I think this would just
confuse the shit out of him.
1707
01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:47,149
So, I think we had just better
play this one out?
1708
01:31:43,860 --> 01:31:47,580
Alan, why isn't our logo
on that shot, please?
1709
01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:59,360
I promised my wife.
I'd be home to make breakfast.
1710
01:32:12,380 --> 01:32:14,500
"I read years ago that
someone once said...
1711
01:32:14,580 --> 01:32:18,420
Those whom the gods destroy,
they first make mad."
1712
01:32:18,700 --> 01:32:22,500
"Or maybe its just that
we're an unfinished piece of art...
1713
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:28,000
part tragedy, part comedy, part joy,
part farce, a work in progress."
1714
01:32:28,180 --> 01:32:29,780
"But, for the moment...
1715
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:32,760
we're still painting
and writing in blood."
1716
01:32:32,940 --> 01:32:36,020
"And it always seems to come out
of a lot of suffering."
1717
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:41,080
"And someday, after it all dries,
it will be magnificent."
1718
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:46,400
"But until then, like all art,
its messy as hell."
1719
01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:02,160
"Border has been
restored throughout the country...
1720
01:33:02,740 --> 01:33:05,900
and within the secession of the
military activities now a week old...
1721
01:33:06,180 --> 01:33:09,220
the former president
appealed for calm."
1722
01:33:09,300 --> 01:33:11,420
"And in other news,
the delayed broadcast...
1723
01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:14,960
last night of Susan Luci's
final episode of "All My Children"...
1724
01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:17,840
in which Erica finally
runs off with Antonio...
1725
01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:20,880
become the most watched
television program in history..."
1726
01:33:21,260 --> 01:33:23,677
outdoing even
the final episode of...
