Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,809
I'm not a Christian.
I'm not an atheist.
2
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,248
I'm not Jewish.
I'm not Muslim.
3
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,086
My religion
and what I believe in
4
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,928
is called the Constitution
of the United States of America.
5
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,169
- Hang on.
- Did you get that?
6
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:30,800
- And let me open these up.
- Hmm?
7
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,202
Okay, go ahead.
8
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,883
If I'm not religious enough for you,
don't vote for me.
9
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:19,001
If I'm not experienced enough
for you...
10
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,803
don't vote for me.
11
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,325
Uh...
12
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,360
You know what? Don't vote for me.
Don't. Don't do it.
13
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,241
Whatever you do,
don't vote for me. How's that?
14
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,243
- Okay. We got it. Thanks.
- Okay.
15
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,483
Can we get the monitors up?
I'd like the governor to hear himself.
16
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:38,926
- You got it.
- Okay.
17
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,481
Are we gonna put risers
under these podiums
18
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,842
like we discussed
in the preconditions?
19
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,083
- No, I know.
- We didn't get the specs till last night.
20
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,641
They're making something.
Okay. Thank you.
21
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,168
They're short, so it makes it hard
for him to read his notes.
22
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,203
Thank you.
See you in a few hours.
23
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,290
Didn't know the governor
had trouble reading his notes.
24
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,603
He doesn't. Pullman's 5'8".
He's gonna look like a hobbit.
25
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,602
I like Mike! I like Mike!
26
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,771
It all comes down to this.
27
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,845
We are one week away
from the Ohio primary.
28
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,288
Senator Pullman of Arkansas
29
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,847
trailing Governor Morris
of Pennsylvania.
30
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,449
Morris has mounted a sizable lead,
with 2047 delegates,
31
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,729
winning New Hampshire, California,
New York and Michigan.
32
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,329
But Senator Pullman, with 1302
delegates, is still in the hunt,
33
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,723
having won Florida and Tennessee
and Virginia and Missouri.
34
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,408
A win in Ohio could turn it all around
for the Arkansas senator.
35
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:55,800
One week from Tuesday,
36
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,642
the all-important 161 Ohio delegates
could be the deciding factor.
37
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:06,085
As goes Ohio, so goes the nation.
38
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:08,811
Would you call yourself Christian?
39
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,007
How would that matter?
40
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,050
"I have no
idea what happens when we die.
41
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,409
Maybe nothing. Maybe it's like
before we were born. " Unquote.
42
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,688
- You did write this.
- Let me be specific.
43
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:20,080
Please do.
44
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:23,045
- I was raised Catholic.
- I am not a practicing Catholic.
45
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,208
I have no idea
what happens after we die.
46
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,250
If the senator does, he should be president.
I'll vote for him.
47
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,364
ls that your idea of being specific?
48
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,205
- Let me be more specific.
- Thank you.
49
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,569
I am not a Christian or an atheist.
I'm not Jewish or Muslim.
50
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,370
What I believe, my religion,
51
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,524
is written on a piece of paper
called the Constitution.
52
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,126
Meaning that I will defend
your right
53
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:47,647
to worship whatever god
you believe in,
54
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,802
as long as it doesn't hurt others.
55
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,121
We should be judged
56
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:54,887
by how we take care of people
who cannot take care of themselves.
57
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,041
That's my religion.
58
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,204
If you think I'm not religious
enough, don't vote for me.
59
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,483
If you think I'm not experienced
enough, don't vote for me.
60
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,529
I can't change that
to get elected.
61
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:05,727
Coffee black.
62
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,645
I just wanted you
to say if you believe in the Bible.
63
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,531
ls this a Democratic
primary or a general election?
64
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,889
Well, whoever wins this
contest will be running for president.
65
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,924
If you think that these questions
won't be central
66
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,084
in a general election,
you are living in fantasy land.
67
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,890
I'm pointing to the obvious.
68
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,771
We are running for president
of the United States,
69
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,365
not student council president.
70
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,283
Double?
Yeah, double.
71
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,727
Fucking national security.
72
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:01,445
Gut of the park.
Home run.
73
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,168
The alumni of
Miami University of Ohio
74
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,766
thank you
for attending tonight's debate
75
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,925
and ask you to remain in your seats
until candidates have left the stage.
76
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:12,127
Thank you very much.
77
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:14,442
I'm trying to remember
if the Democrats
78
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,927
have ever nominated
an atheist before.
79
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,651
Well, we know they've
nominated a jackass before.
80
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,851
Must have been you
that did that prep work, Stephen.
81
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,890
Paul's not that clever.
You've always had the brains.
82
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,407
But me, I've had the balls.
83
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,723
Well, it looks like you've
got some brains now too.
84
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,325
Be careful. I just might
have to steal him from you.
85
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,686
Hm.
86
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,529
What a prick.
87

91

Tell me something I don't know.
92
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,004
Tell me what's going
to happen on the 15th.
93
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,131
Oh, God.
What? what?
94
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,051
What do you think, Stevie?
I think it's ours for the taking. You?
95
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,363
- Yeah. Ben?
- Yeah, we'll win.
96
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,808
- What do you think, Ida?
- I'm asking you.
97
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,849
Oh, you tell me, I'll tell you.
98
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,210
If I had to say, I'd say it'll
be close, but you'll eke it out.
99
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,010
"Eke"'?
100
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,367
You see?
She's trying to get under my skin.
101
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,881
So, what's gonna happen?
Us by nine.
102
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,969
You're certain
you're gonna win.
103
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,851
Certain, no. Confident, yeah.
You said you'll win.
104
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,049
I think we will. I'm not gonna
tell you it's a sure thing.
105
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,402
Saint Gabriel can get
his Four Horsemen
106
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,326
to rig the ballot boxes for Pullman,
and it wouldn't surprise me.
107
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,370
Six presidentials I've done.
I've never felt this good.
108
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,729
But I'm not gonna sit here and say,
"Yeah, we'll win Ohio."
109
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,120
Not a chance.
110
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,329
In the last 30 years,
73 Democrats have run for president.
111
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,845
How many have won? Three.
112
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,925
That means 70 guys ran who thought
they had a chance, and they all lost.
113
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,890
So you're saying there's
a good chance you won't win.
114
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,121
Don't twist my words.
115
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,170
What I'm saying is
I'm not gonna promise you we'll win.
116
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,927
But he was decorated from the first
Gulf War, protested the second,
117
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,607
left his state with a balanced budget
and the fourth-highest education rate.
118
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,651
The Republicans have no one
that can touch this guy.
119
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:37,409
For this moment, this election,
this primary is the presidential.
120
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,163
And that, Ida,
is the state of the union.
121
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:42,921
And on that note...
122
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,883
I'm gonna take a shit.
123
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,522
- So, Stephen.
- So, Ida.
124
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:53,809
Stephen, Stephen, Stephen.
Ida, Ida, Ida.
125
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,849
Paul's going to the airport.
Yeah.
126
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,731
He's getting on a plane.
That's what you do, yeah.
127
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,450
Where's that plane going?
128
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,930
Okay.
129
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,607
I'll give you three guesses.
He's not going back to headquarters.
130
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,569
Correct.
He's not going to Texas.
131
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,927
No need. We're gonna split Texas.
132
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,809
What if I said North Carolina?
133
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,645
Is that your guess?
He's going to North Carolina.
134
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,486
I can neither confirm nor deny that.
I knew it. Now tell me why.
135
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,087
I cannot do that.
Ugh. I hate you.
136
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,402
You love me.
I love Paul. You, I hate.
137
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:28,131
You love him
because he gives you the scoops.
138
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,760
Sexual favors.
You're engaged.
139
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,487
If it meant a good scoop,
my fiancé would understand.
140
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,967
You really buy into
all this crap.
141
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,691
All this "take back the country"
nonsense.
142
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,322
Ida, I'm not naive, okay?
I've worked on more campaigns
143
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,046
than most people have
by the time they're 40.
144
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,771
I'm telling you, this is the one.
145
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,891
You really have drunk the Kool-Aid.
I have drunk it. It's delicious.
146
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,328
Look, I don't care if he happens
to be leading in the polls
147
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,006
and if he happens
to have all the right tools.
148
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,407
The truth is, he's the only one
149
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:05,769
that's gonna actually
make a difference in people's lives.
150
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,524
Even the people that hate him.
151
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:09,330
If Mike Morris is president,
152
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,131
it says more about us
than it does about him.
153
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,046
I don't give a fuck if he can win.
He has to win.
154
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,886
Gr what? What?
The world's gonna fall apart'?
155
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,649
It won't matter, not one bit,
156
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,201
to the everyday lives
of everyday fuckers
157
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,204
who get up and work
and eat and sleep,
158
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,731
go back to work again.
159
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,043
You know, if your boy wins,
you get a job in the White House.
160
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,682
He loses, you're back
at a consulting firm on K Street.
161
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,889
That's it.
You used to know that
162
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,089
before you got all goosebumpy
about this guy.
163
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,166
Mike Morris is a politician.
164
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,085
He's a nice guy.
They're all nice guys.
165
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,050
He will let you down,
sooner or later.

00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:10,763
♪ Disappear ♪♪
169
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,843
This is off-off-off the record.
What?
170
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,604
Franklin Thompson.
Seriously?
171
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,809
The only people who know
are the governor, Stephen and me.
172
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,007
My lips are sealed.
173
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,601
Tomorrow I have a meeting
at Thompson's house.
174
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,604
He's going to endorse?
After I'm done talking to him.
175
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,762
That's huge.
176
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,646
More than huge.
He has 356 pledged delegates.
177
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,610
They all travel with him.
Puts us over the top.
178
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,451
He said publicly he's not
going to endorse anybody.
179
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,490
Well, that's what they all say
till you get them alone.
180
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:46,490
So this is for real.
Yep.
181
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:48,091
Just about in the bag.
182
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,322
When are you
going to announce?
183
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,284
Nope, that's all
you get for now.
184
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,125
Okay, listen up.
These are your new cell phones.
185
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,322
Shelly's preprogrammed
your numbers.
186
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,289
No personal calls, Kevin.
187
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,171
If you lose them,
the DNC will come to your house.
188
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,962
New phones. Give me your old one.
Later.
189
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,322
I gotta believe we can do it.
190
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,404
We have to understand why
our enemies are our enemies
191
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:16,848
and see if there's something
we can do besides using force.
192
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,331
As we know from history,
193
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,131
the answer to extremism
can't be extremism.
194
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,327
Fucking kill me.
195
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,404
Whoever throws their hat in...
Where did we get this?
196
00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:28,166
Some town-hall meeting
in Pennsylvania.
197
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,846
Thank God it wasn't overseas.
Just get rid of it.
198
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,970
- If it plays to his base, why don't--'?
- Are you stoned?
199
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,646
This is the piece
the Republicans are gonna run.
200
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,529
We don't need to brag about it.
201
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:41,001
I'm Neville Chamberlain.
I'd like to be your commander in chief.
202
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,446
If it's gonna come out--
203
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,685
Then it's gonna come out, but it's not
gonna come out paid for by us, pal.
204
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,011
Think there's truth
in Pullman having investments
205
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,123
in a diamond mine in Liberia?
206
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,760
Still checking on it,
but we got it from a blog.
207
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,089
I don't care if it's true.
I just wanna hear him denying it.
208
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,366
If it is true, great.
209
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,490
But if not, let them spend
the day telling the Post
210
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,849
that he doesn't own
a diamond mine in Liberia.
211
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,163
Win-win.
Okay.
212
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,846
- We gotta counter this Christian shit.
- Got it.
213
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,002
I need the new 30-
and 60-second spots.
214
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,767
We can show him in the
staff meeting this afternoon, so...
215
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,651
Hey.
Hey.
216
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,247
Ben wanted me to get you
to sign off on this before the meeting.
217
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,244
Okay. Thank you,
I've been waiting for this.
218
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,963
Anything interesting?
219
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,851
This is some white paper
I have to hand out tonight.
220
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,923
What's white paper?
221
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,527
Negative shit.
Our oppo guys do research,
222
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,087
we feed it to the press,
see what sticks.
223
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,447
What kind of negative shit?
224
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,401
You'll read the paper tomorrow.
Which paper?
225
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,607
Any. Any paper.
So it's something big?
226
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,206
I wish it was something bigger.
227
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,767
It's just these
transportation numbers.
228
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,287
I have to spin pretty hard
to make it stick.
229
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,762
That's what you're good at, right?
I guess.
230
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,126
Tell him it's fine.
231
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,243
Did you get your new phone?
Mm-hm.
232
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,846
It's really exciting, isn't it?
233
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,402
What are you, a Bearcat?
234
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,210
Am I a what?
235
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,283
Cincinnati Bearcat?
236
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,081
Oh, no. I'm not from here.
237
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,608
I worked with you in Iowa, actually.
238
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,204
Ch.
239
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,004
That's right.
240
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,810
But you changed something.
241
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,482
My hair?
You changed your hair.
242
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,124
No.
243
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,800
Oh. I see.
244
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,327
Bet you I look like
a real dumb-ass now, huh?
245
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,970
No, not at all.
246
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,642
You're the big man on campus.
I'm just a lowly intern.
247
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,040
Oh, it's not like that.
248
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,168
You get to stay at the Millennium.
249
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,971
They put us in a motel.
You're right.
250
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,851
I am the big man on campus.
Now you're starting to see.
251
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,001
Mm-hm.
252
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,130
We do have a better bar, though.
I've heard that.
253
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,841
You should come by one night.
Have a drink with the worker bees.
254
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,482
I might do that. I might do that.
What's a good night?
255
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,286
Tonight's good.
Tonight? Tuesday night?
256
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,201
Yeah. it's quiet.
Quiet's good.
257
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,851
Well, you have my number.
258
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,645
I do?
259
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,689
It's programmed there
in your phone.
260
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,531
Aha.
261
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,641
Under "Mary."
I know your name's Mary.
262
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,842
My name is Molly.
263
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,170
Yep.
264
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,851
That's what I'm hearing.
265
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,561
Since Super Tuesday, all of a
sudden, I'm a very popular guy.
266
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:02,042
What are your polls
telling you?
267
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,488
That Pullman's negatives
are high. Mid 40s.
268
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,880
Senator, we have an open
seat in the White House.
269
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,208
The Republicans have dick.
They're disorganized.
270
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,365
They can't find a nominee
that's not a world-class fuck-up.
271
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,727
They look like Democrats.
272
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,089
No Republican's gonna
show up to vote for their guy.
273
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,691
If Pullman gets the Democratic nod,
they will show up to vote against him.
274
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,963
You think they won't for your guy.
Morris gets the independents.
275
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,442
I sure do.
Senator, I'm a bit confused.
276
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,208
We need your delegates.
277
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,923
We need you.
278
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,242
Your fundraising.
279
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,442
And I guess
280
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,571
it was my understanding
that your endorsement
281
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,123
a week before Ohio
would win this for us.
282
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,290
Thank you.
Estella.
283
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,162
Hand me that ice bucket.
284
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,603
- Is this Paul, or is this you?
- Paul knows and Paul agrees.
285
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,280
Ben, where's my op-ed piece
on national service?
286
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,569
- It's easier for me to work off of that.
- Got it right here.
287
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,286
- Give me a hard copy.
- Can we print it out?
288
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,442
- Molly, can you grab it?
- One second.
289
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,802
So if you wanna change or refresh--
Just give me a second, will you?
290
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,485
Your national service isn't polling
the same as the rest of your policy.
291
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,247
I don't give a shit about the polling.
I'm not gonna play this game.
292
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,402
Your good-cop, bad-cop act
with Paul.
293
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,005
Good-cop, good-cop.
294
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,208
I'm not changing it.
295
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,085
Here we go.
296
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,401
All right, let's see.
297
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,331
It says we're gonna
help people get an education,
298
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,729
gonna create national unity,
teach young people a trade,
299
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,451
and get them out of debt
for their loans.
300
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,331
Where does that fail?
All of that's exactly right.
301
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,687
Just, if you're gonna do it, do it.
302
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,002
Make it mandatory, not voluntary.
303
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,249
Now, that'll poll well.
Mandatory.
304
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,051
Everybody who turns 18
or graduates high school
305
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,328
gives two years of service
to his or her country.
306
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,530
It can be in the military, Peace Corps,
planting fucking trees, I don't care.
307
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,445
For that, your college education
is paid for, period.
308
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:36,840
We do all of that here.
309
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,971
No, sir, you don't, not all the way.
Do it all the way. Mandatory.
310
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:42,610
Paul likes this?
Mm-hm.
311
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,888
You're my brain trust.
312
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,568
The beauty of it is that everybody
who's over the age of 18 will be for it.
313
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,529
Why not?
And all of the others--
314
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,205
Can't vote.
315
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,764
Too young.
316
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,889
Too bad.
317
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,443
You can't lose.
318
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,563
- Uh, Stephen?
- Mm?
319
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,690
- You have a call on Line 3.
- It's your dad.
320
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,484
Okay.
321
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,129
You and Ben work it
into the speech.
322
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,090
Get me a hard copy
and I'll write it in my own words.
323
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,722
You have Charlie Rose at 6.
Right. Yeah. Why am I doing him?
324
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,882
It's long-form.
He's flying in.
325
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,087
Paul going?
326
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,891
Paul won't be in,
but Ben and I will take you.
327
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,969
Just don't tell me someone's died.
328
00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:39,281
Hey, Steve.
329
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,249
Who is this?
Tom Duffy.
330
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,640
Sorry about the dad bit.
331
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,610
I just figured you wouldn't
want my name called out
332
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,127
at a Morris campaign office.
333
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,601
What do you want?
You got a couple minutes?
334
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,366
I'd like to sit down with you.
What for?
335
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,090
Well, I think it's important.
336
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,449
If it's important, don't you think
you should be calling Paul?
337
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,125
I'm calling you.
338
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,201
This is on the up-and-up.
Give me five minutes.
339
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:08,966
I can't be talking to you.
I hear you.
340
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:12,329
But I'm gonna be at the Head First
for the next couple hours.
341
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,090
I can't, Tom.
342
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,169
There won't be anybody there.
Okay?
343
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:22,330
You get a chance,
there's something I wanna show you.
344
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,927
Paul, call me back. it's important.
345
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,010
You're working for the wrong man.
346
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,207
You are.
347
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,244
Oh, on the contrary, you
are working for the wrong man.
348
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,681
You got something
the other guys don't have.
349
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,490
Oh, yeah?
What is it exactly?
350
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,244
"Charm" is not
the right word.
351
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,051
It is the right word.
No, it's more than that.
352
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,527
You exude something.
You draw people in.
353
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,367
All the reporters love you.
Even the ones that hate you love you.
354
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,445
You play them like pieces on a
chessboard and make it look effortless.
355
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,129
And we both know
how hard it is
356
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,807
constantly being on guard,
weighing every word, every move.
357
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,044
But from the outside,
you make it look easy.
358
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,565
People are scared of you.
359
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,963
They don't understand how you do
it, and they love you for it.
360
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:38,646
That's the most valuable thing
in this business.
361
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,802
The ability to win
people's respect
362
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,804
by making them mistake
their fear for love.
363
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,564
Guess what
I'm gonna say next.
364
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,644
I don't think that I can.
I want you to work for us.
365
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,725
What, are you kidding?
No, not in the least.
366
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,083
You're gonna lose Ohio.
I am not.
367
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,528
Oh, you're sitting on about
a 6-percent lead in both polls.
368
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,682
Six percent
of all Democrats polled.
369
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,087
Eight.
No, six. Doesn't matter.
370
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,927
Ohio's an open primary,
right?
371
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,323
Independents and Republicans
vote on the Democratic candidate.
372
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,209
Do you think they like your guy?
373
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:18,241
A pro-choice tax-and-spend liberal?
No. Fuck, no. No, they hate him.
374
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,761
They think
they can beat my guy.
375
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,082
But they're very worried
about yours.
376
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,445
So starting tomorrow morning,
you're gonna see a fucking blitz.
377
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,126
Limbaugh, Hannity,
all those right-wing blogs
378
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,567
are starting
a get-out-the-vote campaign.
379
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,085
It's started already.
380
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,608
Every conservative in Ohio
is gonna line up around the block
381
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,730
to punch my guy's ticket,
and that's just one step.
382
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,242
Ohio's gone.
Polls don't mean shit.
383
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,129
Tomorrow everybody's
gonna know.
384
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,205
That's why I want you to handle the
fallout that we'll have in the press.
385
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,642
Oh, and we got Thompson
in the bag too.
386
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,324
I know you don't have Thompson.
387
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,602
No, we promised him
secretary of state.
388
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,446
Ohio's over.
It has been over for weeks.
389
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,329
And now with
Thompson's delegates? Huh.
390
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,322
I'm thinking down the road here, man.
That is why I want you.
391
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,121
I can't do it.
Bring you in at the top.
392
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,011
All right. I don't need
an answer right this moment.
393
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,640
Look, I've played dirty.
I'm sorry to hear it.
394
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,566
But I don't have to play dirty any more.
You know why? I got Morris.
395
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,167
None of this is about
the democratic process, Steve.
396
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,085
This is the shit Republicans pull.
You know what?
397
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,928
This is the shit the Republicans pull,
and it's time we learned from them.
398
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,005
They're meaner, they're tougher,
they're more disciplined than we are.
399
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,049
I've been in this business
25 years.
400
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,567
I've seen too many Democrats
bite the dust
401
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,520
because they wouldn't get down in
the mud with the fucking elephants.
402
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,206
Paul's my friend.
Wanna work for the friend
403
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:01,840
or do you wanna work
for the president?
404
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,404
Think about it.
You got my number.
405
00:24:08,120 --> 00:24:09,167
Paul.
406
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,846
Hey, they don't
make quaaludes any more, do they?
407
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,447
Not that I'm aware of.
What's going on with Thompson?
408
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,769
Uh, he wants something, but...
409
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:22,728
We'll be fine.
What was so important?
410
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,451
Nothing. Figured it out.
411
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,327
All right.
I'll be on my cell if you need me.
412
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,721
I fly to D.C. tomorrow,
back tomorrow night.
413
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,486
Okay. I'll work
on the quaaludes.
414
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,483
Good man.
415
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,844
Check the blogs, see if there's
any chatter, would you?
416
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,923
What kind of chatter?
I don't know.
417
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,402
Just see what they're talking about.
Stevie, you still single?
418
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,887
I'm married to the campaign,
governor.
419
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,441
He's married to the campaign.
Good answer.
420
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,250
Wall Street Journal
has our numbers holding.
421
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,920
Pullman dropped a point.
When did they do that?
422
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,721
Checking now.
Governor, Pullman's down a point.
423
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,611
We're moving
in the right direction.
424
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,285
Ben, are you still single?
425
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,489
Married to the campaign, governor.
Crack team.
426
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,122
Make sure Charlie Rose has those
numbers before he goes on.
427
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,930
I'm on it.
428
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,570
Get a copy of the show
before we leave too.
429
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,451
Is it a difficult decision?
I have to believe it is.
430
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:34,840
Would I do it? No.
431
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,968
But I can't see myself
or anyone
432
00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:39,805
telling a woman what she
should do with her body.
433
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,450
You would appoint
a judge--?
434
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,328
I would consider it arrogant to judge
anyone until I've walked in their shoes.
435
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,488
But you're against
the death penalty?
436
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,007
Because of what it says
about us as a society.
437
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,162
Suppose, governor,
it was your wife.
438
00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:55,522
And she was murdered,
what would I do?
439
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,682
It gets complicated
when it's personal.
440
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,128
Sure.
Well, if I could get to him,
441
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,806
uh, I would find a way to kill him.
442
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,248
So you, you, governor,
would impose a death penalty.
443
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,086
No, I would commit a crime
for which I would happily go to jail.
444
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,641
Then why not let
society do that?
445
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,923
Because society has to be
better than the individual.
446
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,082
If I were to do that,
I would be wrong.
447
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:20,287
What about guns?
448
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,851
isn't it time for a commercial?
449
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,810
- This is public television.
- We don't have commercials.
450
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,007
That's unfortunate.
451
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,447
Where did you go after Iowa?
452
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,489
California.
For Super Tuesday.
453
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,165
Ch.
454
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:35,443
I had to go to New York.
I know.
455
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,365
You guys needed a lot
more help over there.
456
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:39,965
Yeah.
457
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,362
So why politics?
458
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,329
Because the pay
is so good, obviously.
459
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,527
It seems like a very odd fit.
460
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,047
My dad is Jack Stearns.
461
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,641
Oh, he's a good guy.
He's an asshole.
462
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,325
But he's your boss.
463
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,089
He's not my boss.
464
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,682
He's the head of the DNC.
465
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,207
You don't work for the
Democratic National Committee?
466
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,846
I work for Paul.
Paul works for Morris.
467
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,846
And if Morris wins,
he's gonna be your dad's boss.
468
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,729
Don't tell my dad that.
469
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:23,727
Don't tell your dad
a lot of things.
470
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,689
Never.
471
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,490
What time you gotta
work tomorrow?
472
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,608
Nine a.m.
473
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,404
I'm showing the new interns
how to robocall.
474
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,724
It's because I'm the
experienced intern, you see?
475
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,650
I see.
476
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,404
How old are you?
477
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,048
How old do you think I am?
478
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,090
Thirty.
479
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,290
You think I'm 30?
Sorry. How old are you?
480
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,124
Thirty.
481
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,324
How old are you?
482
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,167
How old do you think I am?
483
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,405
Twenty-one?
484
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,608
Twenty.
Yep.
485
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,644
That's young.
486
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,650
Is that too young
to fuck a 30-year-old?
487
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,284
Well...
488
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,170
the laws are different
in different states.
489
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,450
Here, at your hotel here in
Kentucky, it's frowned upon.
490
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:38,965
Ch.
491
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,487
But if we go across
the bridge into Ohio--
492
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,881
Where your hotel is.
Yeah, surprisingly,
493
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,169
they're very lax about their
child-endangerment laws.
494
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,802
Do you have a oar? I don't drive.
I took a cab.
495
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,651
I have the keys
to the campaign bus.
496
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,328
This has been tried before.
497
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,642
Operation Chaos,
as Limbaugh called it,
498
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:11,727
where Republicans voted for a Democrat
they could beat in the general election.
499
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,281
We asked Senator Pullman's
campaign manager
500
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,324
if he's happy getting the votes
of right-wingers.
501
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,887
Is it decisive? No, of course not.
502
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,089
But we believe the polls
are within the margin of error
503
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,362
and that the senator
will win Ohio.
504
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,047
Yeah, what time's Paul get in?
505
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,801
Shit. Who do we talk to
about polling?
506
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,090
I gotta get some internal polling
on the independents and wing nuts.
507
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,526
Do you want me to go?
508
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,365
What's that guy's name
from the Wall Street Journal?
509
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,844
You sound busy. I should go.
Hold on, I'd like to talk to you.
510
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,446
Adler, yeah. Get him on the line.
511
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,887
Nobody. The cleaning lady.
512
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,522
Tell him we're gonna take
the same position we've always said:
513
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,365
The race is a lot closer
than the polling.
514
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,007
No, don't say that. Don't.
515
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,881
Just get him on the line and call me.
I'll take care of it. I'm sorry.
516
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,646
Cleaning lady?
Yeah.
517
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,601
You called me
the cleaning lady.
518
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,083
You're not mad
about that, are you?
519
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,651
No, why would I be mad?
Right.
520
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,450
I spoke with Jack Stearns.
521
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:17,965
Oh, hey. Look.
522
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,805
I know you're looking
for a reaction, but listen.
523
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,571
We have two greet candidates
in a very tight race.
524
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,564
And at the end of the day,
the voters will decide
525
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,762
who best can
represent this party.
526
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,809
But doesn't this kind disruption
527
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,770
take away from what you
wanna be pushing this year?
528
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,810
You're right.
Your dad is an asshole.
529
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:41,045
I'm gonna tell him you said that.
Heh. Yeah, do that.
530
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,251
You wanted to talk?
531
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,842
I just wanna be clear.
I don't want there to be any confusion.
532
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,287
I'm not gonna tell anybody
about last night.
533
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,965
That'd be great.
534
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,889
You know how people are.
Yeah.
535
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,730
Really wouldn't look good
if you screwed an intern.
536
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,970
It's not like that.
537
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:01,962
It's not like I got drunk.
I like you.
538
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,566
I just don't want there
to be any expectations.
539
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,122
You don't have to say anything.
All right.
540
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,601
I just don't want you
to think I'm a player.
541
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,201
You are kind of a player, but...
542
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,644
I was being polite.
Bullshit.
543
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,929
You were trying to pick me up.
No, I wasn't.
544
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,208
You were pretty obvious about it.
545
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,448
I was?
Yeah.
546
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,650
I thought I was being subtle.
No, you were pretty forward.
547
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,167
You were pretty forward
asking me to the bar.
548
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,325
Well, been trying to fuck you
for a while.
549
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,770
Wow.
550
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,051
It's kind of slutty of me, huh?
Not at all.
551
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,285
I respect it in some strange way.
Good.
552
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,246
You have no idea how to tie a tie.
No, no, not a clue.
553
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,162
You're very mature.
554
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,002
For a teenager.
555
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:03,771
When are you coming back?
556
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:09,006
I'll be at the event a little late.
These cocksuckers, fucking dirty shit.
557
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,846
What happened with Thompson?
Nothing. Prick.
558
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,488
We had him all sewed up,
motherfucker.
559
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,483
How bad is it?
560
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,046
I don't know. I just--
I'm running the numbers, Paul.
561
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,044
All right. I'll--
I'll be there in three hours.
562
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,407
I want hard numbers
and a strategy.
563
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,040
Yeah, I'm on it. I gotta go.
564
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,722
You okay?
Yeah. Trying to figure out our stops.
565
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,882
Think the weather
might determine that.
566
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,690
If we get there.
567
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,842
We're gonna be fine.
568
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,367
We have to do it.
It's the right thing to do.
569
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,364
Nothing bad happens
when you're doing the right thing.
570
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,241
Is this your personal theory?
Because I can shoot holes in it.
571
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,051
Roberto Clemente
on a humanitarian flight.
572
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,249
Well, there's--
There's exceptions to every rule.
573
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,369
So how we doing?
574
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,042
- I think we're fine now.
- No, the campaign. How we doing?
575
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,410
Oh, great.
576
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,291
Stephen, you're not Paul.
577
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,405
I pay Paul to use the word "great"
I pay you to tell me the truth.
578
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,605
I think that we are solid.
579
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,803
Okay, Paul.
580
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,604
Governor, there's a big difference
between Paul and me.
581
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,367
Paul only believes in winning,
so he'll do or say anything to win.
582
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:47,965
But you wouldn't.
583
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,487
I'll do or say anything
if I believe in it.
584
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,450
But I have to believe in the cause.
585
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,331
You'll make a lousy consultant
when you're out of this line of work.
586
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,246
Well, I won't be out of this line of
work as long as you're in it, sir.
587
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,641
So at best,
you got eight years.
588
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,282
Then you end up at a nice
consultant firm off Farragut North,
589
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,051
making 750 grand a year,
eating at The Palm,
590
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,329
pimping out ex-senators
to Saudi princes.
591
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,448
Pimping out ex-presidents.
592
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,405
Then I better win.
593
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,771
Yeah.
594
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,087
Now, I've been
married for 11 years.
595
00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:30,481
We have a normal marriage.
596
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,849
Which means when we disagree,
she wins.
597
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:37,970
What we don't disagree on
598
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,090
is how we're gonna leave
this planet for our daughter.
599
00:34:41,240 --> 00:34:44,642
Are we gonna leave it better off
or worse?
600
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,168
The richest people in this country
don't pay their fair share.
601
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,210
And when they're asked to,
they cry socialism.
602
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,370
They use phrases like
"redistribution of wealth."
603
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,204
Yeah.
604
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,802
That scares everybody,
and they all run and they hide.
605
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,010
For the record,
606
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,489
my campaign is vehemently
against the distribution of wealth
607
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,211
to the richest Americans
by our government.
608
00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:15,405
And I will run on that.
609
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,085
I didn't think it was true,
but I should've told you.
610
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:21,924
Slow down.
I'm sorry.
611
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,726
I met with Tom Duffy
yesterday.
612
00:35:28,720 --> 00:35:29,926
What?
613
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,289
You were on a plane.
He called me and asked if we could meet.
614
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,007
I said, "Why?" He said
it was very important, so I did.
615
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,403
And I should have told you.
Stop. Let me get this straight.
616
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,882
You met with Tom Duffy.
Yeah.
617
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,407
What'd he want, Stephen?
618
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,484
The gist? He wants to hire me.
He wants me to jump ship.
619
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,405
This is really fucking bad.
620
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,484
He told me they had poll numbers
that had Pullman ahead.
621
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,325
We're in big trouble.
He laid out their strategy.
622
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,927
Doing robocalls, traffic jams,
fake lit, and Thompson.
623
00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:04,769
They offered Thompson
secretary of state.
624
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,410
Know how you
fight the war on terror?
625
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,409
You don't need their product.
626
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,161
Their product is oil.
Just don't need it and they go away.
627
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:19,082
We don't have to bomb anyone.
We don't have to invade anyone.
628
00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:23,925
If this is some kind
of fucking practical-- I mean--
629
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,527
My fucking blood pressure's
going through the goddamn roof.
630
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:28,920
Paul, I'm sorry.
631
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,809
Believe me.
632
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,887
I didn't think it was true.
It doesn't matter what you thought.
633
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,566
It matters what you did,
what you didn't do.
634
00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:41,449
You're right.
If this is true,
635
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,650
I made a fucking ass of myself
and I gave away our game plan.
636
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,201
I honestly believed
you were gonna come back
637
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,647
and tell me we have
Thompson in the bag.
638
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:51,961
I didn't see the point.
639
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,011
It doesn't make it right, and I'm sorry.
Let me think.
640
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,610
Let me think.
641
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,730
If I'm your president,
the first thing I'd put into motion
642
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,929
is 10 years from
the day I take office,
643
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,324
no new car in America is run
on an internal combustion engine.
644
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,445
We will create hundreds
of thousands of new jobs,
645
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,649
we will start the next
technological revolution,
646
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,889
and we will lead the world again,
like we used to.
647
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,210
Get the governor after
he finishes singing "Kumbaya"
648
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,091
and we give him
everything we know.
649
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:34,642
Who do you want?
You, me and the governor. That's it.
650
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,041
What's he have after?
He has a fundraiser.
651
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,247
He'll be late.
652
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,364
We tell him if he doesn't
offer Thompson the position,
653
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,522
he's not gonna get the nomination.
654
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,763
Is he gonna go for it?
I don't fucking know, Stephen.
655
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,284
Find us a room.
656
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,601
How real are the numbers?
657
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,527
We lose by
3 or 4 percent.
658
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,048
Who fucking knows, governor?
But we can't take the chance.
659
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:48,406
What do you think?
660
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:51,166
We fold up the campaign
in Ohio, take a loss,
661
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,767
blame it on Republicans playing
games, head to North Carolina.
662
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,606
I can't run from Ohio. They'll kill us.
Not if you get Thompson.
663
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,685
I'm not gonna do it. What's he want?
Head of the FDA or something?
664
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:03,887
Cabinet post.
665
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,442
Yeah, what, labor?
State.
666
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,205
Are you kidding?
I'm gonna give secretary of state
667
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,648
to a guy who wants to out
the top 10 floors off the U.N.?
668
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,770
When we started, I said
I wasn't gonna make those deals.
669
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,810
If you lose Ohio and they get
Thompson's delegates,
670
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,686
then they get North Carolina,
then they get the lead.
671
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,808
A lead you can't beat.
If we walk from Ohio,
672
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,122
take Thompson,
give him the Cabinet post,
673
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,521
then we take North Carolina,
his state,
674
00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:37,281
then Pennsylvania, your state,
and then it's simple math, Mike.
675
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,161
Take his endorsement
and the race is over.
676
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,202
Paul, I respect you.
677
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,802
I respect your opinion.
678
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,723
I'm never gonna do it.
679
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,648
So I suggest we find a way
for me to win Ohio.
680
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,004
Anything else?
681
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,367
- it's not gonna cut it.
- Every car company.
682
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,443
They've booked every van
for Tuesday.
683
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,204
Fuck. I gotta call you back.
684
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,771
All of them?
All of them.
685
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,321
- You're killing me.
- Here's what I got so far.
686
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,165
Independents aren't biting,
but the Republicans are.
687
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,529
They're not gonna tell a pollster
they're voting Democratic.
688
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,685
I can't find the goddamn polls.
We can get 100 vans out of Kentucky.
689
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,650
- We don't need the vans.
- That's not what I'm saying.
690
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,282
- We don't want Pullman to have vans.
- We were the underdog before.
691
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,408
We continue to be
the underdog.
692
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:38,248
Well, then-- Yeah, we always knew
the numbers were gonna get closer.
693
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,129
We're not lowering
expectations.
694
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,921
I mean, have I ever said to you
that we had Ohio locked?
695
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,970
Give me the courtesy
of printing that in your column.
696
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:53,083
What are you writing?
697
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,366
The greatest speech ever given
on hydrogen power.
698
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,727
The bar is set awfully high
on that one.
699
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,848
Don't I know it.
700
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,089
I was hit up by Mitchell's wife
for you to show up
701
00:41:06,240 --> 00:41:09,562
at her Daughters of
the American Revolution luncheon.
702
00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:11,609
Who's Mitchell?
703
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,570
Congressman from
the First District?
704
00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:16,927
You might wanna
remember that.
705
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:21,250
Fucking congressman.
Could you imagine doing this every two years?
706
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,482
No, I can't.
707
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,046
Let's just do it one more time.
Mm-hm.
708
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,248
In four more years.
That's it.
709
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,084
It's a deal.
710
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:36,923
Do you think we'll lose Ohio?
711
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,084
I don't know.
712
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,685
If you took Thompson's delegates,
the race would be over.
713
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,081
Ohio wouldn't matter.
714
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:51,731
Is Paul working on you?
715
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:54,607
Stephen.
716
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,207
They are good.
Mm.
717
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,445
Is Thompson so bad?
He's a shit.
718
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:09,491
Is he worse than Pullman?
Yes, Stephen.
719
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:23,050
Every time, I draw a line in
the sand, and then I move it.
720
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,443
Fundraisers, union deals,
I wasn't gonna do any of it.
721
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,602
Negative ads.
722
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,122
I can't on this one.
723
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,729
Not Thompson.
724
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,642
Tell Mrs. Mitchell
I'll make her goddamn luncheon.
725
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,165
Let the old ladies
pat me on the head.
726
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:52,445
You've got great hair.
You too, baby.
727
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,000
Gay marriage.
it's a silly argument.
728
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,004
Not to 50 percent of Americans.
Over the age of 50.
729
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,640
That's who votes,
that's who shows up at polls.
730
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,361
That's changing. Hopefully, the way
we frame the argument is as well.
731
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,882
From a religious...?
From a religious to a civil-rights issue.
732
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,362
But one could argue a great
difference between gender and race.
733
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:16,081
We used to ban interracial marriages.
Women couldn't vote.
734
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,169
I have the guy
from Proctor & Gamble.
735
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,203
Keep an eye on the governor.
Okay.
736
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,806
I gotta know what's going on.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
737
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,045
- All right, wait, wait.
- She's got a point to make. Go ahead.
738
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:31,000
The argument is that men and women
can be considered separate but equal.
739
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,367
Races cannot.
How so?
740
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,046
You have separate bathrooms
for men and women,
741
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,522
but it would be illegal to have
separate bathrooms for races.
742
00:43:39,720 --> 00:43:42,041
Now.
Yes, now.
743
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,123
See, we're framing the argument...
744
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,726
- What time is this thing airing?
- Nine o'clock.
745
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,281
How'd we do?
We did good.
746
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:58,444
Yes, I know, but I tried to
reach him, and I couldn't get through.
747
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,085
- Yeah, just e-mail it to me.
Just e-mail it to me.
748
00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:10,004
- Yeah.
- Then I can give it to him.
749
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,243
Oh, good. So attach that
and send it as an e-mail to me.
750
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,880
Yeah, I missed
my opportunity there.
751
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,083
- Now.
- Yes, now.
752
00:44:28,240 --> 00:44:30,402
We're framing the
argument on the idea
753
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,331
that you choose to be gay,
754
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,161
not that you were born that way,
like being born African-American.
755
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,601
If you start the discussion
with the idea
756
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,481
that gay is not a life choice
but is actually part of your DNA,
757
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,929
then gay marriage can and must
only be a civil-rights issue.
758
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,930
That's what I believe.
That's where I stand.
759
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,686
Do you think
your candor is your appeal?
760
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,010
Sorry.
761
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,569
Fuck. it's not you.
762
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,328
- Molly?
- Hello?
763
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,009
Hey, your phone rang.
764
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,003
Hm?
Your phone rang.
765
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:46,327
It did?
766
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,131
Who's calling you
at 2:30 in the morning?
767
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:50,691
I don't know.
768
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,207
Really? Because he asked
for you by name.
769
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,728
You answered it?
I thought it was my phone.
770
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,164
Who is it?
771
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,488
I don't know.
772
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,845
Is it one of those interns
drunk-dialing you?
773
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,082
Now, that never happens.
774
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:08,607
Let me see the number.
775
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,046
Oh, boy.
Give me my--
776
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:11,844
No. I'm calling him.
Stop it.
777
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,207
It's not funny.
I'm saying I'm your dad.
778
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,522
It's not funny.
Give me my phone. Hang up.
779
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,365
I have a shotgun.
Stephen, hang up the phone.
780
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,283
Why is the governor calling you
at 2:30 in the morning?
781
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:46,724
Molly.
782
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,721
Why is the governor
calling you at all?
783
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:56,769
I'm in trouble.
784
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:01,046
With the governor?
785
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,888
What's going on?
786
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,930
I was working on the campaign
in Iowa.
787
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,084
There was a party in Ben's room
after the rally.
788
00:47:17,240 --> 00:47:21,245
There was a party with you
and Ben and the governor?
789
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:25,162
No, he wasn't there.
Where was he?
790
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,687
I took him up a hard copy
of the polling numbers.
791
00:47:31,720 --> 00:47:33,609
After the party?
792
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,649
It was around midnight.
793
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,085
I just stood in the doorway
with him,
794
00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:45,847
just talking for a really long time.
795
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,964
He just reached behind me
and closed the door.
796
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,563
Jesus fucking Christ.
797
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:13,651
Were you drunk?
798
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,928
Not that drunk.
799
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,488
How many times?
It was just that once.
800
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:21,130
Just the once?
Just once.
801
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:22,691
Does anybody know?
No one.
802
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,001
Anybody see you?
No.
803
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:25,605
How could you know?
I know.
804
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,808
Then why is he calling you
right now?
805
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,803
I called him first.
806
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:34,565
Why?
I didn't know who else to go to.
807
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,240
And I needed 900 bucks.
808
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:41,481
For what?
809
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,490
I can't go to my dad.
810
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,762
We're Catholic.
811
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,562
So, what should I do?
812
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:05,684
Stephen?
813
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,445
What's up?
814
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:37,964
What's our limit on petty cash?
815
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,288
It's probably 500. Why?
I need everything we can get.
816
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,408
Everything okay?
817
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:48,650
Need help with anything?
Yeah. Don't put it on the books.
818
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:50,647
That's all.
819
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:56,009
What should I put it down as?
Don't put it down as anything.
820
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,528
Anything over 100, I gotta put down--
Just do it.
821
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:03,601
Molly.
822
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,162
Okay.
I'll take it back.
823
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:41,686
That's all.
824
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,284
- Yes, Ida?
- Stevie, off the record--
825
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,569
No, I cannot tell you
what happened in North Carolina.
826
00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:12,291
That's not what I wanted
to ask you about.
827
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:16,121
Okay. What?
You met with Duffy.
828
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,609
Who told you that?
A little bird.
829
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,243
Who?
Did you meet with him?
830
00:52:27,720 --> 00:52:29,688
Where are you?
831
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,320
I know you met him
with at a bar in Cincy
832
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,448
just before the press conference.
833
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,331
- Duffy ordered buffalo wings.
- Who said that? Duffy?
834
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,767
Anonymous.
What happened with Duffy?
835
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,527
You're supposed to be my friend.
Why you wanna stick the knife in me?
836
00:52:43,720 --> 00:52:47,202
You thought we're friends?
I've given you everything you wanted.
837
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,806
Every story, every scoop,
your profile on Paul.
838
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,008
You've given me a lot,
but get real.
839
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,767
The only reason you treated me well
was that I work for the Times.
840
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:59,402
You give me what I want,
I write you better stories.
841
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,289
Why'd you meet with Duffy?
842
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,250
Go fuck yourself.
Okay, I'll make it easier on you.
843
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,051
What happened
at Paul and Thompson's meeting?
844
00:53:07,240 --> 00:53:11,211
Keep your voice down.
Do you have any idea what this could do to me?
845
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,681
That's why I'm giving you a choice.
846
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:14,966
I could get fired.
847
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:17,887
So it's not a difficult one, is it?
848
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:19,963
I've gotta file by 3 p.m. tomorrow.
849
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,361
You've got till then
to make up your mind.
850
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,647
- You motherfucker.
- Excuse me?
851
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,007
You leaked it.
Leaked what?
852
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,128
Don't bullshit me, Tom.
853
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,760
I have no idea
what you're talking about.
854
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,207
I just spoke to Ida Horowicz.
Yeah?
855
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:39,607
She's threatening
to release the story.
856
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,969
What fucking story?
That we met. That we fucking met.
857
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,806
How did she find out?
Don't play dumb, Tom.
858
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,961
You think I leaked it to her?
Yeah. Who else?
859
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,482
I didn't leak it to her.
I know I didn't, so that leaves you.
860
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:55,290
Okay. Well, what does
she know?
861
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,727
She knows whatever you told her.
862
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,161
I swear to Jesus
I did not leak it to her.
863
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,402
I don't want this out
any more than you.
864
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:06,121
Well, too late.
What did she tell you?
865
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,806
She knows where we met,
she knows when we met,
866
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,361
she knows you had
fucking buffalo wings.
867
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:13,801
She has a source?
Yeah, she has a source.
868
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:15,849
And you have no idea
who it could be?
869
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:17,126
Yeah, you.
870
00:54:18,720 --> 00:54:22,691
Well, for the record, it wasn't me, and
I didn't have fucking buffalo wings.
871
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:24,490
So it's gotta be someone else.
872
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:26,802
Did you tell anyone?
No. Did you?
873
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,645
No.
Did you admit to meeting with me?
874
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,928
No.
All right.
875
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,169
Then we Stonewall her
and she's got nothing.
876
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:39,166
She's gonna take the story to Drudge
or Roll Call or some shit like that.
877
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:40,367
You can't stop her?
878
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:44,002
She's trying to blackmail me.
She wants info about Thompson.
879
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,887
Well, then tell her
what she wants to know.
880
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,168
I can't do that.
881
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,369
You can't let this get out.
I'm not gonna be blackmailed.
882
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,807
You don't have much
choice here, Steve.
883
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,567
If I tell her about Thompson,
I have to tell her he's endorsing you.
884
00:54:58,720 --> 00:55:02,281
Then tell her. I can handle it
from my side if I start getting cells.
885
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:03,527
No fucking way.
886
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:07,241
Paul told her we had Thompson.
It's gonna make him look like a fool.
887
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:11,166
He's gonna look like a fool anyway
when Thompson endorses us.
888
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:18,047
I can't do it.
889
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,289
You know,
you're on a sinking ship.
890
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,568
Tell her what she wants to know
and jump.
891
00:55:23,720 --> 00:55:26,690
Come over to our side.
We can control this thing.
892
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,121
Steve?
I gotta go.
893
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,444
I'm up here.
894
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:54,809
You scared the shit out of me.
895
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:01,290
Here.
896
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,007
It's almost 1800 bucks.
897
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:10,041
You gotta make the appointment now,
like today, from a pay phone.
898
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,488
I'll take you to the clinic
and pick you up, but no one else.
899
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,489
You understand?
900
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:17,610
Yeah.
901
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,969
Take the rest of the money
and buy yourself a ticket home.
902
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:23,963
Can't be here.
We can't afford it.
903
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,363
Not with everything that's
gonna happen in the next week.
904
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,490
And this situation
just can't be here.
905
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,482
You mean I can't be here.
Right.
906
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,331
Stephen,
I wouldn't tell anyone.
907
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,209
I hope not.
908
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,089
Then why?
909
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:48,922
Because you fucked up.
910
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,924
He and I both fucked up.
That's true.
911
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:56,881
But I have a responsibility to him and,
more importantly, to this campaign.
912
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,008
I could go to North Carolina
and work.
913
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:03,324
Molly, you gotta wake the fuck up.
This is the big leagues. It's mean.
914
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,967
When you make a mistake,
you lose the right to play.
915
00:57:08,240 --> 00:57:09,526
Make the appointment.
916
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,081
Tell me when
and where we have to go.
917
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:18,680
Listen to this.
I got the placement in the Times.
918
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,003
Bumped like 600 fucking articles.
Tom Duffy, 2008:
919
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,686
"This is a matchup
between hope vs. fear.
920
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,526
Nine times out of 10, the fear candidate
tends to be most experienced.
921
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,889
But in our presidential races,
the least-experienced candidate wins.
922
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,727
JFK vs. Nixon. Carter vs. Ford.
Bush vs. Gore.
923
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:38,724
I like our chances with
the new kid on the block."
924
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,087
End quote.
Thomas fucking Duffy.
925
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,686
He's gotta be having
a stroke right now.
926
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:11,130
So just call me
when you can leave, okay?
927
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:20,489
I hate this shit.
928
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,722
I'm gonna come back,
and this is all gonna be over.
929
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:27,484
Yeah.
930
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,800
Absolutely.
There's no question about it.
931
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:50,642
Yeah, but we gotta think
broader strokes here.
932
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:52,882
Just rethink everything.
933
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:57,527
Uh... Well, yeah,
I know how to handle it.
934
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:02,764
Um, look, Stevie just got here.
Can I call you back in a few minutes?
935
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,969
Okay, bye.
Ahem. The governor.
936
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,527
We had a good long talk
on the way back.
937
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,047
He's up to speed
with everything.
938
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,089
How'd he take it?
939
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,130
Better than
I thought he would.
940
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,965
Still won't take
Thompson's endorsement.
941
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:23,484
I gotta tell you something
I don't know how to tell you.
942
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:25,125
What's up?
943
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,127
Ida knows that I met
with Duffy.
944
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:37,609
I don't know how she knows,
but she knows.
945
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:40,647
And she tried to blackmail me.
946
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,126
She's gonna release the story
unless I tell her
947
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,521
about your meeting
with Thompson.
948
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,531
So it's gonna hit
the papers.
949
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,409
Probably.
950
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:03,089
And whoever she takes it to is
gonna call me for a statement.
951
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:07,040
If I deny the whole thing but Duffy
admits to it, it's gonna look worse.
952
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:11,762
And if I just say, "No comment,"
they're not gonna let up.
953
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:15,684
I leaked it to Ida.
954
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:24,930
At the event.
955
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,922
I don't understand.
We made a deal.
956
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:38,281
Paul, they're gonna...
957
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:41,964
They're gonna print that story
in the paper tomorrow.
958
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:43,610
I know.
959
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:46,644
So why'd you do it?
Why would you do that?
960
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:48,802
Why would you do that
to the campaign?
961
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,440
The campaign will survive.
962
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:58,604
Why would you do that to me?
Makes it easier to let you go.
963
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:01,723
What?
964
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,042
Why'd you meet with Duffy?
965
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:11,929
I made a mistake.
I made a stupid mistake.
966
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:15,203
No, you didn't make a mistake,
you made a choice.
967
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,530
You left a message to call
you back, it was important.
968
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,648
When I did,
you told me to forget it.
969
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:24,010
You chose not to tell me.
Why'd you make that choice?
970
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,208
Because I didn't think
it was important.
971
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,010
Oh, fuck, yes, you did.
972
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:35,563
You went because you were curious.
You felt flattered, you felt special.
973
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:39,329
To think that Duffy wanted
to speak to you instead of me.
974
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:43,211
You thought, "Maybe I can
get something out of this."
975
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,687
Because it made you feel big.
976
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:54,447
You know, the first campaign I ran,
it was a tiny little race in Kentucky.
977
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:55,681
State Senate seat,
978
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:59,526
working for some redneck nobody
named Sam McGuthrie.
979
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,281
No staff, no money,
no fucking office.
980
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,602
Everyone thought
we didn't stand a chance.
981
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,280
No way we can compete, right?
About this time,
982
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,444
this guy running this campaign
a few districts over
983
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:13,324
gives me a call, and he says,
984
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:18,281
"I really like what you're able to do
for poor old Sam, but he's a goner.
985
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:22,041
Why don't you come work
for me?" What did I do?
986
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:24,965
Well, Stephen, this is where
you and I are different.
987
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:28,010
I told Sam about the call.
And Sam says to me,
988
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:31,488
"Paul, if you think this other guy's
got a chance at winning
989
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:33,210
and he can pay you more
990
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,887
and if it's what you need to do,
then I won't get in your way."
991
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:40,004
And I say,
"Sam, you took a chance on me
992
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,403
and hired me when I was even more
of a nobody than you are.
993
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:48,890
I'll be damned if I'm gonna jump ship
just because the shit hits the fan."
994
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:53,481
We lost that race, but when Sam
decided to run for governor,
995
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:55,648
who do you think he called?
996
01:03:55,800 --> 01:04:00,124
We won that race, and 20 years later,
I am where I am fucking now.
997
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:04,242
There's only one thing I value
in this world, and that's loyalty.
998
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,922
Without it, you're nothing
and you have no one.
999
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:13,441
And in politics,
in fucking politics,
1000
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,524
it's the only currency
you can count on.
1001
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:19,168
That's why I'm letting you go.
1002
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:22,210
Not because you're not good
enough or I don't like you.
1003
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:25,967
But I value trust over skill, and I
don't fucking trust you any more.
1004
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:30,170
It doesn't matter whether you trust me.
It matters whether the governor does.
1005
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:31,890
The governor already knows,
1006
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:34,042
and he thinks
it's the right thing to do.
1007
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:39,610
He does?
Yeah, and you know what?
1008
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:42,127
If I were you,
I'd get a good night's sleep,
1009
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:46,410
because you're gonna get pounded by
calls from the press in the morning.
1010
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,971
- Hey.
- Hey. Where were you today?
1011
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:29,090
Um, I'm not feeling great today, Ben.
1012
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,244
You picked a hell of a day
to call in sick.
1013
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,842
Jesus, it was a fucking wild-ass day.
Why? What happened?
1014
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:40,048
Stephen's off the campaign.
1015
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,128
Paul fired him.
Some setup about loyalty.
1016
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:46,011
Stephen may have been
doubling down with Duffy.
1017
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:49,448
I was sitting in the room when
Paul told Stephen he was fired.
1018
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:52,604
Stephen said, "Who's gonna take over?
" And Paul said me.
1019
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:55,047
I know, and I'm like,
"Easy there, soldier."
1020
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:57,925
Stephen goes apeshit,
Paul gives him this speech
1021
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:01,050
and then shits on Stephen
like I've never seen before.
1022
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:04,164
Humiliating shit.
When was this?
1023
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:06,243
Molly, listen to me.
1024
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,448
I'm gonna run the campaign
under Paul.
1025
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,049
Stephen's going to Duffy.
I just jumped three years ahead.
1026
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:16,605
So starting tomorrow morning,
we go into full damage control.
1027
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:19,610
And I'm telling you,
Stephen's going apeshit.
1028
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:23,725
He said he's taking everybody down
on his way out. Morris, everybody.
1029
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:28,124
Shit. I gotta take this.
Do you need anything?
1030
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:29,725
No.
1031
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,490
Paul. What's up?
I'm mailing you all those files.
1032
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:56,084
Where's Duffy?
You got an appointment?
1033
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:09,890
Can we have the room
for a minute?
1034
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:11,929
Okay.
Thank you.
1035
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:15,607
It's not too bright
walking in here like that, Steve.
1036
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:21,970
I'm in.
1037
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:26,841
I'm coming to work for you.
A reporter phoned me this afternoon.
1038
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:28,326
Yeah.
I know who leaked it.
1039
01:08:28,480 --> 01:08:30,289
Who?
Paul.
1040
01:08:30,440 --> 01:08:31,646
You told Paul?
1041
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:35,122
I told Paul, and he leaked it.
Oh, Steve.
1042
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:38,250
You shouldn't have told him that.
I felt like I should.
1043
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:40,846
Yeah. I've worked with Paul.
He gets paranoid.
1044
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:42,968
Obviously.
So he fired you.
1045
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,600
I quit.
No, you're lying to me. Come on.
1046
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:48,206
I quit. I'm gonna
give you everything.
1047
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,806
I'm gonna give you Morris,
his whole strategy--
1048
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:55,204
I already have it.
Paul gave it all to Thompson.
1049
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:57,528
What if I had something else?
1050
01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:59,728
You would do that
to Morris? To Paul?
1051
01:08:59,880 --> 01:09:01,245
Yeah.
Oh, no.
1052
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:03,883
Revenge makes people
unpredictable.
1053
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,725
I can't have someone who's
unpredictable, unstable.
1054
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,167
I'm not.
If this had been a clean break,
1055
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:12,244
if you had left Morris
before the story broke,
1056
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:13,811
that, we could control.
1057
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:15,809
But like this?
1058
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:18,685
Paul fires you, and then you
wanna come work for me?
1059
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,121
It makes me look like
I'm picking up scraps.
1060
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:24,329
It puts Morris in the driver's seat.
I can't have that.
1061
01:09:24,480 --> 01:09:28,087
What if I had something big?
Like what?
1062
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:33,724
Something big.
1063
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,841
Something that'll put
Morris down.
1064
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:39,724
What is it?
1065
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:43,285
Give me the job.
1066
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:50,563
No, that's not gonna happen.
I'm sorry.
1067
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:54,570
Go take a nice long vacation.
You're a smart guy.
1068
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:57,769
Everything that I said
the other day is absolutely true.
1069
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:01,442
But, you know,
maybe politics isn't for you.
1070
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:03,969
Politics is my life.
1071
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:08,682
You know what? Do yourself a favor.
Get out now, while you still can.
1072
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:10,968
Go into entertainment
or business.
1073
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:14,283
Go open a fucking restaurant
in Costa Rica. Anything.
1074
01:10:14,480 --> 01:10:17,131
Do something that's gonna
make you happy, okay?
1075
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,204
You stay in this business,
you're gonna get jaded.
1076
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:23,643
Like you.
Yeah, just like me.
1077
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:27,724
You knew I was gonna
fucking tell Paul, didn't you?
1078
01:10:28,480 --> 01:10:32,326
No, I didn't know.
I thought you might, but I didn't know.
1079
01:10:32,480 --> 01:10:35,882
You knew I was gonna tell him,
and you knew he was gonna fire me.
1080
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:38,606
That's the thing about Paul.
He's big on loyalty.
1081
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:41,491
Yeah, I know.
I just got a big speech on it.
1082
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:45,570
You were never
gonna hire me.
1083
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:49,209
Put yourself in my shoes,
Steve.
1084
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:53,251
Your opponent has the best media mind
in the country working for his team.
1085
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:54,811
What are you gonna do?
1086
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:59,244
You're either gonna hire him,
or you're gonna work it
1087
01:10:59,440 --> 01:11:02,569
so if you can't have him,
the other team can't either.
1088
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,369
This is a win-win situation for me.
1089
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:10,481
You come work for me, great.
Paul doesn't have you.
1090
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:13,450
Then again, Paul fires you,
I don't want you, fine.
1091
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:15,648
Paul still doesn't have you.
1092
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:18,128
Either way, I win.
1093
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:21,524
And the moment I got you
to sit down in that chair...
1094
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,202
I knew I'd won.
This is--
1095
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,160
it's my life
that you're talking about.
1096
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:32,530
It doesn't make me happy doing this.
Don't think it gives me any pleasure.
1097
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:35,769
No, I'm sorry for you.
I really am.
1098
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:40,885
Take care of yourself.
1099
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:14,169
The third floor. I'm coming to you.
1100
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:27,485
Nothing.
1101
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:32,368
No. No, ma'am.
She's not breathing.
1102
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:36,283
I don't know.
Fifteen minutes.
1103
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:49,409
Do you know her?
1104
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:56,043
She's gone.
1105
01:12:57,440 --> 01:12:59,522
I'm sorry, what?
1106
01:12:59,960 --> 01:13:01,803
Oh, yes, now,
I can hear them now.
1107
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:07,090
We're on the third floor.
1108
01:13:08,440 --> 01:13:09,487
Yes.
1109
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:12,561
Yes, ma'am.
1110
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:17,329
Yes, ma'am.
1111
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:19,331
Yes, ma'am.
1112
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:55,764
Um...
1113
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,924
Where are you?
It's, uh-- it's 4-something.
1114
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:01,805
They're gonna close up
in a few minutes.
1115
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:06,763
- Stephen, it's Ben.
- Listen, what the fuck?
1116
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:08,883
Jesus. What are you gonna do?
1117
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:16,042
Stephen, um, I just heard from Ben.
1118
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:18,248
Please don't do anything
fucked up.
1119
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,926
Goddamn it, you motherfucker,
pick up the phone.
1120
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:22,809
Don't do this.
1121
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:29,127
I'm not going away.
1122
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:39,566
The coroner stated that based
on evidence found in that hotel room,
1123
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:41,404
this was an accidental overdose,
1124
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:43,801
a lethal cocktail
of alcohol and drugs.
1125
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:47,927
Police Chief Darryl Matthews
has called for a full investigation
1126
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:51,687
pending a toxicology report,
which could take up to two weeks.
1127
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:53,882
Just a terrible, terrible situation
1128
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:57,601
for the former senator,
now-DNC chairman Jack Stearns
1129
01:14:57,800 --> 01:14:59,564
and his family.
1130
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:24,608
I want on the ticket.
1131
01:15:25,440 --> 01:15:28,967
You need me on that ticket,
and you could use my delegates.
1132
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:32,769
And you need them
before Tuesday.
1133
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:35,964
Make a fine story on
the Sunday-morning news cycle.
1134
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:39,602
So I expect to hear from you
by noon tomorrow
1135
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:42,963
or I endorse Pullman
and take that Cabinet seat.
1136
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,280
Anything else you wanna
talk about, Stephen?
1137
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:13,689
- The entire staff is...
- We're in a state of shock.
1138
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:18,090
We send our condolences to Jack and
Joanna Stearns and their family.
1139
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:20,208
Of course,
our hearts go out to them.
1140
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:23,170
It's hard to imagine
what they must be going through.
1141
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:28,325
What we know right now is that
it appears to have been a drug--
1142
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:31,364
An accidental
prescription overdose.
1143
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:34,530
- Ida?
- Is suicide ruled out?
1144
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:36,967
We have no reason to believe--
1145
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:41,284
I don't think we have that information,
but there will be a full investigation.
1146
01:16:41,440 --> 01:16:43,920
We just wanted to say
that our hearts go out,
1147
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:47,363
our prayers go out,
to the entire family.
1148
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:50,603
She really is--
She was part of our family.
1149
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:52,603
Yeah.
Did you know her well?
1150
01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:54,410
Not well, but I did know her.
1151
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:57,086
And what I saw was
a hard-working young woman
1152
01:16:57,240 --> 01:16:59,891
with a great spirit.
1153
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:04,083
It's just a sad day
for the campaign.
1154
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:06,811
And it's a sad day for
those of us who know Jack.
1155
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,566
Governor, how long
has she interned for you?
1156
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:13,088
Uh... You wanna...'?
Yeah.
1157
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,490
She had only been on the road
with us for a few weeks.
1158
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:21,723
Maybe four weeks,
I think. I can check.
1159
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:26,210
Will you be continuing
with your schedule today?
1160
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:28,681
Yes, we will most
certainly stay on schedule.
1161
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:58,730
Seems like you have something
you wanna talk to me about.
1162
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:03,328
Does it seem that way?
1163
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:09,889
If you have something
you wanna get off your chest,
1164
01:19:10,040 --> 01:19:11,849
then why don't you?
1165
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:15,769
How about I do the talking
and you do the listening?
1166
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:19,489
Okay.
1167
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:23,367
As of tomorrow, there's gonna be
a few changes to your campaign.
1168
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:27,161
Paul's out. I'm your
senior campaign manager.
1169
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:29,882
I'll draft a statement.
1170
01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:33,328
"The campaign got to a point
where we needed to make changes."
1171
01:19:33,480 --> 01:19:36,689
You can put your own words in there.
Why would I do that?
1172
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:38,888
Because you wanna win.
1173
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:42,041
Because you broke
the only rule in politics.
1174
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:44,011
You wanna be president?
1175
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:47,050
You can start a war,
you can lie, you can cheat,
1176
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:51,888
you can bankrupt the country,
but you can't fuck the interns.
1177
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:55,002
They'll get you for that.
1178
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:59,326
What do you think
you have, Stephen?
1179
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:03,411
Troubled young girl tells you a story.
Troubled young pregnant girl
1180
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:06,723
That what she told you?
who needed cash for an abortion.
1181
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:08,006
You give her money?
1182
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:11,403
Maybe she needed cash and you
were the perfect guy to hit up.
1183
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:14,211
Is that your best play?
You need a job that bad?
1184
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:17,569
You come in here with your dick in your hand?
You got nothing.
1185
01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:19,484
Then how did I get in here?
1186
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:24,167
You're right, Mike, there's nothing.
No voice messages, no texts,
1187
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,402
no e-mails, no pictures,
no tape.
1188
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:29,131
And yet I'm standing right here.
1189
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:31,806
Yeah, well, go home.
1190
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:33,925
She left a note.
1191
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:46,247
How would you know that?
I was cleaning up your mess.
1192
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:49,769
I took her phone,
and I found a note.
1193
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:52,287
I thought it was an accident.
I don't know.
1194
01:20:52,440 --> 01:20:55,762
You're gonna have to tell me.
You're the last person she called.
1195
01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:00,570
Note says she's pregnant,
got an abortion,
1196
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,087
and doesn't wanna hurt you.
1197
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:06,369
Then why would she leave a note
that could only do that?
1198
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:08,090
Because she's 20.
1199
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:15,489
What do you want?
Paul's gone. Today.
1200
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:18,729
I set a meeting with Thompson.
You promise him the ticket.
1201
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:22,646
You get 356 pledged delegates,
you get North Carolina,
1202
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:24,040
you take office,
1203
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:27,010
and make right what
so many people have made wrong.
1204
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:30,642
All the things we both believe in.
I don't believe in extortion.
1205
01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:33,724
I don't believe in tying myself
to you for eight years.
1206
01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:36,611
Four years.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
1207
01:21:38,480 --> 01:21:39,641
Huh.
1208
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:46,289
What were you doing
in her room?
1209
01:21:46,440 --> 01:21:48,647
Housekeeping
before you made Page 1.
1210
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:52,049
You were fired, you were out.
What were you doing in her room?
1211
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:54,009
I was fixing a situation.
1212
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:57,684
Someone from the hotel
thought I could help and called.
1213
01:21:57,840 --> 01:21:59,490
So you were off the campaign,
1214
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:03,571
but you thought it was important
to fix things?
1215
01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:11,291
It was your voice
the other night on the phone.
1216
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:14,687
You were fucking her.
1217
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:17,202
What'd you do, Stephen?
1218
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:24,044
I lent her money and gave her a ride.
I bet you did.
1219
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:27,009
There's no note.
1220
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:29,682
Okay, there's no note.
Show it to me.
1221
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:32,201
You think I brought it here?
1222
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:34,522
That's how people get hurt.
1223
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:44,641
Okay, let's play this out.
1224
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:49,806
You're not wearing a wire, because
everything you suggested is illegal.
1225
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:52,566
And you wouldn't fare too well
in federal prison.
1226
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:56,803
You were fucking her, and she
told you about her situation.
1227
01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:59,645
There are no records
or conversations between us,
1228
01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:02,963
and since she's had an abortion,
there's no DNA evidence.
1229
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:06,089
So if there's no note...
1230
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:09,721
then it's your word
against mine.
1231
01:23:11,440 --> 01:23:13,283
Your word.
1232
01:23:13,440 --> 01:23:17,411
A fired, disgruntled employee.
1233
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:19,688
Gr a sitting governor.
1234
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:26,282
There's no note.
1235
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:31,762
It's your call, governor.
1236
01:24:23,440 --> 01:24:26,250
Paul, you got a minute?
Yeah.
1237
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:25,248
How much
could a shake-up like this,
1238
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:27,971
days before the Ohio primary,
hurt a campaign?
1239
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:31,689
I asked Paul Zara how his firing
could help the candidate.
1240
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:35,447
The governor and I felt that
in light of these changing numbers
1241
01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:38,410
that it was best to put
a new face on the campaign.
1242
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:41,723
Stephen is very talented,
uh, very smart.
1243
01:25:55,440 --> 01:26:00,526
You always hear people talk
about events out of sequence,
1244
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:02,569
the order of things.
1245
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:10,560
There is no greater grief
1246
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:14,763
than a parent
laying their child to rest.
1247
01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:23,089
She was a little girl trying to make it
in a very grown-up world.
1248
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:26,570
A world where every mistake
is magnified.
1249
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:31,442
And she was smart and pretty
and so, so young.
1250
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:38,331
Father, you ask us
to accept God's plan,
1251
01:26:38,480 --> 01:26:41,131
to not question his judgment.
1252
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:46,282
With all due respect,
I don't accept this judgment.
1253
01:26:46,440 --> 01:26:48,966
She made the world better.
1254
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:53,402
Not just for me,
1255
01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:57,486
but for everyone she touched.
1256
01:27:10,440 --> 01:27:13,091
You should hire Jack
for a speechwriter.
1257
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:15,688
I'll keep it in mind.
1258
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:22,005
You come here to see me?
No. Friends of the family.
1259
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:24,841
Got her the internship.
1260
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:27,644
I've known her since she was born.
1261
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:30,890
I'm sorry.
1262
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:36,082
Governor couldn't make the flight?
1263
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,241
He's meeting with Thompson.
1264
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:41,489
Look at you.
1265
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:43,642
All grown up with tits and all.
1266
01:27:46,440 --> 01:27:47,771
I learned from the best.
1267
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:55,247
Well, one day we'll grab a beer,
and you can tell me
1268
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:58,085
what you had on the governor
that put me out.
1269
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:01,091
How do you know I didn't
have something on you?
1270
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:09,411
Well, you better get going.
1271
01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:12,530
You have a campaign to run,
I've got offices to look at.
1272
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:14,484
Farragut North?
1273
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:18,724
Nice consultant firm
right off of K Street.
1274
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:21,203
Million a year.
1275
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:24,206
No one to fuck you over.
1276
01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:27,210
Sounds relaxing.
Doesn't it?
1277
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:35,410
The right man to
lead this great nation of ours
1278
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:37,403
in these challenging times,
1279
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:43,729
and the next president of
the United States of America,
1280
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:45,206
Governor Mike Morris.
1281
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:48,767
We like Mike!
1282
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:55,925
And let me ask
1283
01:28:56,600 --> 01:28:59,604
That all of us stand shoulder
to shoulder, arm in arm,
1284
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:01,888
in a united Democratic Party.
1285
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:09,006
So I strongly urge
the 356 loyal delegates
1286
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,527
that I have carried
as a badge of honor
1287
01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:13,682
throw their support
to the governor.
1288
01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:15,842
Let's put this primary behind us
1289
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:19,163
and get on with the business
of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
1290
01:29:19,320 --> 01:29:20,765
Thank you, God bless you,
1291
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:23,764
and God bless
the United States of America.
1292
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:25,928
Governor Mike Morris,
ladies and gentlemen.
1293
01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:37,244
Senator Thompson, thank you.
1294
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:39,923
All right, Mr. President!
1295
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:43,880
Well, the polls aren't quite
closed, but I congratulate Senator Pullman
1296
01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:47,931
and his Republican constituents
on their win here in Ohio.
1297
01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:58,642
Senator Thompson, I am honored
to stand here with you today.
1298
01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:03,169
And I am humbled by your kind words.
Thank you.
1299
01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:09,001
Today marks the beginning of
a fight between two sets of ideals.
1300
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:12,323
Either we're gonna move forward,
or we're going to live in the past.
1301
01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:16,411
Either we're going to lead
the world in technology
1302
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:20,326
or we are going to bury
our heads in the sand.
1303
01:30:20,480 --> 01:30:24,644
The sands of Saudi Arabia,
the sands of Iraq.
1304
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:29,571
Either we're going to let
greed and corruption
1305
01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:32,371
ruin our industries
and our shorelines
1306
01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:35,410
or we are going to take back
our country.
1307
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:40,209
We are not a nation
used to coming in second
1308
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:42,044
or third.
1309
01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:45,769
- No, it's not decisive.
- We still have several contests to go.
1310
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:48,201
Those states are gonna
wanna have their say.
1311
01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:50,249
It looks like we're gonna win Ohio.
1312
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:53,529
You must concede, sin
that these 356 delegates
1313
01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:55,887
put the pledged delegates
out of reach.
1314
01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:58,725
The superdelegates are breaking
3 to 1 for Morris--
1315
01:30:58,880 --> 01:31:02,441
We still have several contests to
go, and Ohio was a big win for us.
1316
01:31:02,640 --> 01:31:04,051
Then do you have the funds?
1317
01:31:04,200 --> 01:31:07,170
Of course we have the funds.
We get new donations daily.
1318
01:31:08,480 --> 01:31:10,642
- Hey, Ben?
- Yep?
1319
01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:14,168
I was told to talk to you.
I'm supposed to get a phone.
1320
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:17,125
And you are...?
Jill Morris.
1321
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:19,084
No relation.
1322
01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:22,489
You a Bearcat, Jill Morris?
No, I'm from Columbus.
1323
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:24,404
I'm a Buckeye.
1324
01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:42,050
You're making me
look bad.
1325
01:31:42,200 --> 01:31:44,567
How so?
I filed the story that said
1326
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:48,088
you're off the campaign and
Thompson's going to Pullman.
1327
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:50,210
Can't believe everything
you read.
1328
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:54,529
Wanna give you an opportunity
to comment on my next story.
1329
01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:56,330
It says you delivered
Thompson.
1330
01:31:56,480 --> 01:31:59,450
You got the 356 delegates,
you delivered the nomination.
1331
01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:01,648
All you asked in return
was Paul's job.
1332
01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:04,883
Any chance of you confirming?
No press behind this point.
1333
01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:08,482
I'll read about it in the funny papers.
Come on, Stephen.
1334
01:32:08,640 --> 01:32:10,608
Aren't we friends any more?
1335
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:15,088
You're my best friend, Ida.
1336
01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:20,605
- Jay, this is Sean in New York.
- Can you get him to run a mike check?
1337
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:26,689
If you could
count to 'IO for me.
1338
01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:29,810
One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, 10.
1339
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:32,367
Good. Okay.
1340
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:47,522
Senator Thompson, I am proud
1341
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:50,724
that you have brought integrity
back to this election.
1342
01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:53,486
Because that's what this
integrity.
1343
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:55,563
- Stand by.
- Who we are.
1344
01:33:55,720 --> 01:33:58,690
Because how we project ourselves
to the world matters.
1345
01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:01,161
Dignity matters. Integrity matters.
1346
01:34:02,720 --> 01:34:05,246
Our future depends on it.
1347
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:10,930
Morris! Morris! Morris!
1348
01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:20,285
We have Governor Morris'
senior campaign adviser,
1349
01:34:20,440 --> 01:34:23,410
Stephen Meyers, coming to us
from Xavier University
1350
01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:26,086
where Senator Thompson
has endorsed Governor Morris,
1351
01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:28,811
essentially ending
this primary race.
1352
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:31,042
Stephen, can you give us
some insight
1353
01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:33,567
into how this whole thing
unfolded?107807
