
1
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:42,333
Cobra Two, Cobra One. It's showtime.

2
00:00:46,590 --> 00:00:49,959
West quadrant secure.
Whitey Two moving in east quadrant.

3
00:00:50,510 --> 00:00:51,969
Here we go.

4
00:01:16,364 --> 00:01:18,322
Some people will work

5
00:01:20,243 --> 00:01:22,531
Some simply will die

6
00:01:23,745 --> 00:01:29,748
But they'll complain and complain
and complain and complain and complain

7
00:01:32,128 --> 00:01:34,085
Some people must have

8
00:01:36,090 --> 00:01:38,248
Some never will...

9
00:01:38,425 --> 00:01:42,042
- Bob Roberts is a stalwart American.
- Bob's a champion swordsman.

10
00:01:42,220 --> 00:01:45,055
- A tireless worker.
- Bob's a man of vision.

11
00:01:45,223 --> 00:01:48,425
- Dynamic personality.
- He's a unique individual.

12
00:01:48,601 --> 00:01:51,852
-Bob is prime-cut, Grade A.
-He's a genius.

13
00:01:52,019 --> 00:01:55,388
- He's a man of the people.
- I love Bob Roberts.

14
00:01:55,564 --> 00:01:59,348
- He's a mover and a shaker.
- The leader of a generation.

15
00:01:59,525 --> 00:02:04,152
A young man with a guitar starts
singing, right in the middle of the restaurant.

16
00:02:04,322 --> 00:02:07,075
This is happening in Brophy's.

17
00:02:07,242 --> 00:02:11,487
He not only had a brilliant mind
and wonderful wit, but could also sing.

18
00:02:11,661 --> 00:02:16,738
He finishes the song, tremendous applause,
then out the door, he's gone.

19
00:02:16,917 --> 00:02:20,331
I look at Mr Hart and I say, What was that?

20
00:02:20,501 --> 00:02:25,744
And he says in his own inimitable way,
That, my friend, was a gold-mine.

21
00:02:25,923 --> 00:02:28,211
- And then?
- And then it happened.

22
00:02:28,383 --> 00:02:32,595
- He became a star overnight.
- That is correct.

23
00:02:32,763 --> 00:02:37,222
He has a tremendous talent.
An artist in the true sense of the word.

24
00:02:37,393 --> 00:02:39,930
And the next senator from Pennsylvania.

25
00:02:40,102 --> 00:02:42,427
Seize the day!

26
00:02:42,604 --> 00:02:44,595
... I spend all my time drunk in a bar

27
00:02:44,772 --> 00:02:49,233
I want to be rich, I don't have a brain
So give me a handout while I complain

28
00:02:49,402 --> 00:02:52,021
Bob Roberts, fencing enthusiast,

29
00:02:52,196 --> 00:02:55,399
poet, folk singer, businessman,

30
00:02:55,573 --> 00:02:57,400
senatorial candidate.

31
00:02:57,574 --> 00:03:01,702
This controversial
yet extraordinarily popular entertainer

32
00:03:01,869 --> 00:03:04,276
appeared on the music scene three years ago

33
00:03:04,456 --> 00:03:07,824
with his debut album
The Freewheelin' Bob Roberts.

34
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,670
Despite being assailed by the music critics

35
00:03:10,835 --> 00:03:14,998
as a corrupt, unfair diatribe against the '60s,

36
00:03:15,173 --> 00:03:20,332
the album remarkably soared to number 23
on the Billboard charts.

37
00:03:20,511 --> 00:03:23,547
- Backed by a team of novices,

38
00:03:23,722 --> 00:03:27,850
without the support of a major record label,
relying on word of mouth

39
00:03:28,018 --> 00:03:33,852
and his team of associates who seem
more suited to a town house than a tour bus,

40
00:03:34,023 --> 00:03:39,148
Roberts created a niche in a business
that had contemptuously rejected him.

41
00:03:39,318 --> 00:03:44,144
His second album, Times Are Changin' Back,
peaks at number three, an achievement

42
00:03:44,322 --> 00:03:50,358
for a journeyman folk singer that Spin
magazine called a crypto-fascist clown

43
00:03:50,535 --> 00:03:53,324
- You have the wrong pass.
- I don't see the problem.

44
00:03:53,496 --> 00:03:56,034
You need to go to the police and get a pass.

45
00:03:56,208 --> 00:03:57,618
On July 4th,

46
00:03:57,792 --> 00:04:01,955
Bob Roberts announced his candidacy
for the Senate seat in Pennsylvania.

47
00:04:02,129 --> 00:04:06,292
This documentary chronicles the man
and his quest for election.

48
00:04:06,466 --> 00:04:10,083
Eight years ago, I had had enough.

49
00:04:10,262 --> 00:04:14,008
I had seen the dreams of a generation
squashed by an evil menace,

50
00:04:14,180 --> 00:04:17,182
an evil menace called drugs.

51
00:04:17,350 --> 00:04:20,765
I made up my mind there and then
to dedicate my life

52
00:04:20,936 --> 00:04:25,978
to seeing that this problem end in our lifetime.

53
00:04:26,690 --> 00:04:30,439
I contacted my friend Lukas Hart
and I enlisted his help.

54
00:04:30,904 --> 00:04:34,319
It is because of Lukas Hart's
diligence and efforts

55
00:04:34,490 --> 00:04:37,940
that eight years ago Broken Dove was born.

56
00:04:38,119 --> 00:04:44,202
Broken Dove is hard at work fighting
the war on drugs but it will take time.

57
00:04:44,373 --> 00:04:47,374
We must start the war early,
ladies and gentleman.

58
00:04:47,543 --> 00:04:51,125
We must start the war
with our children at home

59
00:04:51,296 --> 00:04:54,747
- and in our classrooms.

60
00:04:54,925 --> 00:04:57,249
Hey, mister, can I see your gun?

61
00:04:57,426 --> 00:05:01,468
- Can I see your gun?
- What makes you think I have a gun?

62
00:05:05,141 --> 00:05:08,888
Come on over this way.
Get some great shots with the kids.

63
00:05:09,061 --> 00:05:11,267
- You got me!

64
00:05:11,438 --> 00:05:14,009
You got me. Good work, kids. I'm dead.

65
00:05:15,107 --> 00:05:18,855
Here's Mrs Roberts. Here's Mrs Roberts. Polly.

66
00:05:19,027 --> 00:05:23,191
Polly and Bob.
Let's take a picture with the kids.

67
00:05:23,365 --> 00:05:26,033
Sit right there on the table.

68
00:05:27,367 --> 00:05:30,203
Bob is a tireless worker.
Unbridled energy.

69
00:05:30,370 --> 00:05:33,405
As his doctor,
I tell him to slow down. He won't.

70
00:05:33,581 --> 00:05:37,957
Without his organisation Broken Dove,
this clinic would not exist.

71
00:05:38,127 --> 00:05:40,499
I want you all to say, "Vote Bob

72
00:05:40,670 --> 00:05:42,545
Vote Bob!

73
00:05:42,713 --> 00:05:47,504
What did the teacher tell you
in school today, in school today?

74
00:05:47,676 --> 00:05:53,133
What did the teacher tell you
in school today, my child?

75
00:05:53,306 --> 00:05:57,884
He said it's a crime to say a little prayer

76
00:05:58,060 --> 00:06:03,764
He said God's no longer wanted here

77
00:06:03,940 --> 00:06:08,317
Oh, that's what the silly teacher
told you in school

78
00:06:08,485 --> 00:06:12,731
Robert Roberts Junior was born
on January 3rd, 1955

79
00:06:12,906 --> 00:06:15,444
in St Vincent's Hospital, Philadelphia.

80
00:06:15,617 --> 00:06:19,484
In his early years, Bob lives on a commune
in rural Pennsylvania.

81
00:06:19,661 --> 00:06:21,903
It was an idealistic attempt.

82
00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:25,080
This was the late '50s, pre-hippie.

83
00:06:25,250 --> 00:06:29,791
We tried to establish a community based
on the idea of collective responsibility.

84
00:06:29,961 --> 00:06:32,879
It's a crazy idea. It was nuts.

85
00:06:33,047 --> 00:06:36,997
It was an unrealistic environment
for a child to grow up in.

86
00:06:37,177 --> 00:06:40,958
We moved to Philadelphia
when Bobby was three.

87
00:06:41,138 --> 00:06:46,213
It'll be cold today. Chilly, chilly as the leaves
of autumn make way for the wind of winter.

88
00:06:46,434 --> 00:06:51,094
Early snow was reported in some mountain
regions but don't dust off the skis yet, folks.

89
00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:54,686
Here in Philly it's a brisk 43.

90
00:06:54,859 --> 00:06:58,357
Now, Kelly Noble interiews
senatorial candidate Bob Roberts.

91
00:06:58,527 --> 00:07:02,903
I must say that I'm not a fan of your music.
I find it offensive.

92
00:07:03,073 --> 00:07:06,856
I wouldn't vote for you
if my life depended on it.

93
00:07:07,034 --> 00:07:11,364
Good morning, Philadelphia.
Our guest today is Bob Roberts,

94
00:07:11,538 --> 00:07:14,455
Pennsylvania senatorial candidate
and folk singer.

95
00:07:14,625 --> 00:07:18,870
Our viewers are curious about where it began.
Where did it start for you?

96
00:07:19,044 --> 00:07:20,373
Where did what start?

97
00:07:20,546 --> 00:07:23,380
Was it a small colonial home

98
00:07:23,549 --> 00:07:27,878
with a mom in a starched dress
and a dad in a seersucker suit?

99
00:07:28,052 --> 00:07:30,425
- You're speaking of my upbringing?
- Yes.

100
00:07:30,595 --> 00:07:34,758
I came to speak about the issues
but I will indulge your personality search.

101
00:07:34,933 --> 00:07:37,685
I was born and raised lower middle-class

102
00:07:37,852 --> 00:07:41,303
right outside the city of brotherly love,
Philadelphia.

103
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,603
My father was a fry cook, my mother
a peacenik. I had no brothers or sisters.

104
00:07:46,775 --> 00:07:48,814
Make your judgements if you must.

105
00:07:48,985 --> 00:07:51,109
He was a model student.

106
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,147
So full of life and energy.

107
00:07:55,325 --> 00:08:00,663
Some of the other kids didn't like him
very much. But I did. Very much.

108
00:08:00,830 --> 00:08:04,827
Increasing restlessness and trouble
with authority figures and classmates

109
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,708
create problems for Bob in high school,
and by his senior year his grades have fallen.

110
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:15,252
[Bob] I know what it's like to be without
a home. I was homeless when I was 17.

111
00:08:15,426 --> 00:08:19,504
I didn't ramble, I didn't roam.
No boxcars or park benches.

112
00:08:19,678 --> 00:08:21,965
No panhandling for me.

113
00:08:22,139 --> 00:08:26,136
I went straight to work,
earned enough money on my own

114
00:08:26,309 --> 00:08:30,223
to enrol myself in a school of my choice,
a school I wanted.

115
00:08:30,396 --> 00:08:34,772
That's not quite true.
Bobby enrolled himself in military college

116
00:08:34,941 --> 00:08:37,432
by forging my signature on a cheque of mine.

117
00:08:37,611 --> 00:08:43,032
[Father] He was happy there. He said
he needed discipline, more structure in his life.

118
00:08:43,199 --> 00:08:45,735
He felt we offered too much freedom.

119
00:08:45,909 --> 00:08:48,909
And do you know what? He was right.

120
00:08:49,078 --> 00:08:54,416
I was trying to instil different values in him
than the ones he has now.

121
00:08:54,582 --> 00:08:56,290
Let's just leave it at that.

122
00:08:56,460 --> 00:09:00,538
The '60s are, let's face it,
a dark stain on American history.

123
00:09:00,713 --> 00:09:04,626
At no other time has lawlessness
and immorality been so widespread.

124
00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:08,548
You're speaking of Watergate
and our invasion of Cambodia.

125
00:09:08,719 --> 00:09:12,634
No. No, I'm not. I see. I'm speaking of you,

126
00:09:12,806 --> 00:09:16,556
of lawlessness and immorality
with regard to drug use and sexual practice.

127
00:09:16,726 --> 00:09:19,263
- Excuse me?
- Disregard in the press

128
00:09:19,437 --> 00:09:23,269
for the sacred institutions that have
made this country what it is today.

129
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,438
Is social protest disregard
for our laws and institutions?

130
00:09:27,611 --> 00:09:31,111
- Certainly it is.
- It is a guaranteed right in our constitution.

131
00:09:31,281 --> 00:09:35,063
- So is burning the flag. Need I say more?
- You need say more.

132
00:09:35,243 --> 00:09:41,361
Or are we to believe that Bob Roberts
wants to see a compliant and silent public

133
00:09:41,538 --> 00:09:45,916
which respects the actions of its presidents,
no matter how immoral or illegal?

134
00:09:46,085 --> 00:09:47,709
- Are you a communist?
- Excuse me?

135
00:09:47,877 --> 00:09:49,917
Self-determination.

136
00:09:50,088 --> 00:09:53,421
The choice to be what you want to be.

137
00:09:53,590 --> 00:09:56,922
And I wanted to be... rich.

139
00:10:03,681 --> 00:10:08,308
Roberts graduates from Westmoreland
Military Academy with honours in 1977

140
00:10:08,478 --> 00:10:12,723
and is selected as a candidate for a master's
degree in business at Yale University.

141
00:10:12,898 --> 00:10:18,438
In 1980, Roberts graduates from Yale and
begins his phenomenal rise on Wall Street.

142
00:10:26,203 --> 00:10:30,330
Grandma felt guilty about being so rich

143
00:10:30,497 --> 00:10:34,032
And it bothered her until the day she died

144
00:10:35,293 --> 00:10:39,502
But I will take my inheritance

145
00:10:39,671 --> 00:10:43,204
And invest it with pride, yes, invest it

146
00:10:44,175 --> 00:10:46,464
- With pride

147
00:10:50,430 --> 00:10:55,424
You have just said that our chief executives
are immoral criminals.

148
00:10:55,601 --> 00:10:57,476
I take offence at that, deeply.

149
00:10:57,645 --> 00:11:00,479
I'm an American that believes
intensely in morality

150
00:11:00,648 --> 00:11:03,434
and in the sanctity of the office
of the presidency.

151
00:11:03,608 --> 00:11:07,984
I trust that the American public does not share
your cynical anti-American views

152
00:11:08,153 --> 00:11:11,357
and will cast their votes accordingly,
with pride and conviction.

153
00:11:11,531 --> 00:11:14,400
<i>- Thank you, Kelly and Bob...
- I certainly hope not.</i>

154
00:11:14,574 --> 00:11:19,736
It means you want Americans to cast
their votes based on hatred and ignorance.

155
00:11:19,914 --> 00:11:23,033
You're taking sides, ma'am. You're abusing
your responsibility as a journalist.

156
00:11:23,208 --> 00:11:27,453
I am offended by you, sir. If I ignore
my feelings, I'm taking your side.

157
00:11:27,628 --> 00:11:29,833
Isn't your job one of objectivity?

158
00:11:30,004 --> 00:11:34,002
You're not talking about objectivity.
You're talking about ignorance.

159
00:11:34,175 --> 00:11:36,844
- Is he one of yours?

160
00:11:37,010 --> 00:11:41,553
Hey, brother. Does getting in on the ground
floor mean checking your skin at the door?

161
00:11:41,724 --> 00:11:44,510
- Black people can have another opinion.
- You're still black?

162
00:11:44,684 --> 00:11:48,681
I think so. We don't have to adhere
to a militant black party line.

163
00:11:48,854 --> 00:11:51,060
Your albums just get better and better.

164
00:11:51,232 --> 00:11:55,559
Wonderful work on the news.
Always watch you.

165
00:11:55,735 --> 00:11:58,936
You're now a member of our campaign team.

166
00:11:59,114 --> 00:12:01,189
Can I get one for my son?

167
00:12:01,364 --> 00:12:03,855
- Of course. We'll send you some.
- Take care, Dan.

168
00:12:04,034 --> 00:12:08,196
You're welcome here any time, Bob.
Good luck on the campaign trail.

169
00:12:10,373 --> 00:12:11,867
Great.

170
00:12:12,916 --> 00:12:18,836
Bob Roberts is from that faction that lives to
destroy whatever good came out of the '60s,

171
00:12:19,004 --> 00:12:21,331
to rewrite the history of that important period,

172
00:12:21,508 --> 00:12:27,011
a period where the American people
actually were informed and aware

173
00:12:27,178 --> 00:12:29,750
and realised that they had a voice.

174
00:12:29,929 --> 00:12:33,763
They demanded that a war end.

175
00:12:33,934 --> 00:12:38,845
Bob Roberts is Nixon, only he's shrewder.
More complicated, this Bob Roberts.

176
00:12:39,021 --> 00:12:43,813
Here's a man who has adopted the persona
and mind-set of the freethinking rebel

177
00:12:43,983 --> 00:12:46,605
and turned it on itself.

178
00:12:46,778 --> 00:12:48,935
The rebel conserative.

179
00:12:49,948 --> 00:12:52,568
That is deviant brilliance.

180
00:12:52,741 --> 00:12:54,981
What a Machiavellian poseur.

181
00:12:55,995 --> 00:12:58,663
- This land

182
00:12:58,828 --> 00:13:01,747
Is my land

183
00:13:01,915 --> 00:13:04,158
- This land

184
00:13:04,335 --> 00:13:07,039
Is our land

185
00:13:07,211 --> 00:13:09,784
You gotta proud to be

186
00:13:09,963 --> 00:13:12,289
In the land of the free

187
00:13:12,466 --> 00:13:15,135
This land was made for us

188
00:13:15,301 --> 00:13:20,722
This land was made for me

190
00:13:30,982 --> 00:13:34,102
Bob! Bob! Bob!

191
00:13:39,571 --> 00:13:43,272
Mr Roberts, my name is Bugs Raplin.
I'm from Troubled Times Journal.

192
00:13:43,451 --> 00:13:46,818
- I'd like to arrange an interiew.
- Certainly.

193
00:13:46,994 --> 00:13:50,493
- Call our campaign headquarters.
- Yeah, right (!)

194
00:13:51,417 --> 00:13:53,123
Let's fire it up.

195
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:56,911
Koji, are you there?

197
00:14:04,426 --> 00:14:07,676
Nikkei's up 24,041.45.

198
00:14:07,847 --> 00:14:11,890
- As tensions continue to mount...
- Members of the 101 st Airborne...

199
00:14:12,059 --> 00:14:16,103
- Final step on American soil...
... Operation Desert Shield.

200
00:14:16,270 --> 00:14:20,681
Senator Brickley Paiste was on
the campaign trail yet again yesterday.

201
00:14:20,856 --> 00:14:24,901
He sampled homemade goodies
while visiting the local ladies' auxiliary

202
00:14:25,068 --> 00:14:29,019
and presided over the dedication
of the steam torpedo monument.

203
00:14:29,197 --> 00:14:31,320
I think it highly suitable today,

204
00:14:31,492 --> 00:14:35,653
as war clouds once again
are upon the horizon,

205
00:14:35,828 --> 00:14:38,116
that we dedicate this steam torpedo,

206
00:14:38,288 --> 00:14:42,415
a symbol of the 13 million of us
who fought in World War II.

207
00:14:42,584 --> 00:14:44,576
- Carol?
- Thanks, Chuck.

208
00:14:44,752 --> 00:14:47,206
Senator Paiste's opponent, Bob Roberts,

209
00:14:47,378 --> 00:14:51,045
is creating quite a sensation
in his election tour,

210
00:14:51,216 --> 00:14:54,336
playing to sold-out audiences
from Scranton to Pittsburgh.

211
00:14:54,510 --> 00:14:58,341
He was in town today
paying a visit to the local Menck clinic.

212
00:14:58,512 --> 00:15:00,921
With the story, Rose Pondell. Rose?

213
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:05,559
This is the Menck Clinic in Scranton,
set up with money raised by Broken Dove,

214
00:15:05,729 --> 00:15:08,930
senatorial candidate Bob Roberts'
private relief organisation.

215
00:15:09,105 --> 00:15:13,932
The clinic and Broken Dove honoured
Bob Roberts in a ceremony at the clinic.

216
00:15:14,110 --> 00:15:18,357
Honouring you as patriot of the year.

217
00:15:19,364 --> 00:15:22,318
Bob has a great vision
for the future of our country

218
00:15:22,492 --> 00:15:25,445
and for the future of the children
of our country.

219
00:15:25,619 --> 00:15:27,862
He is the only man to vote for.

220
00:15:28,038 --> 00:15:31,405
He's amazing. He's a poet and a genius.

221
00:15:31,582 --> 00:15:35,081
It's clear to all present here
that drugs are a tough problem

222
00:15:35,252 --> 00:15:37,873
and a tough man is needed to tackle it.

223
00:15:38,048 --> 00:15:41,580
From all indications,
Bob Roberts just might be that man.

224
00:15:41,758 --> 00:15:47,131
At the Roberts campaign in Scranton,
this is Rose Pondell, WAPW, Action News.

225
00:15:47,304 --> 00:15:50,886
- Thank you, Rose. Chuck?
- Thank you, Carol.

226
00:15:51,059 --> 00:15:55,220
Polls show incumbent Senator Paiste
in the lead over Roberts by 10%,

227
00:15:55,395 --> 00:15:59,310
but sources in the Roberts campaign
say Roberts will be a strong finisher.

228
00:15:59,482 --> 00:16:03,145
I could use a strong finisher myself, Carol.
How about you?

230
00:16:06,195 --> 00:16:07,819
Mr Hart loves it.

231
00:16:07,988 --> 00:16:10,905
- What about Bob?
- Bob loves it, too.

232
00:16:11,074 --> 00:16:15,024
What is Lukas Hart's connection
with Bob's success?

233
00:16:15,204 --> 00:16:18,652
- No connection.
- He's helping send Bob to Washington.

234
00:16:19,623 --> 00:16:22,375
They do this every morning for hours.

235
00:16:22,543 --> 00:16:27,916
It throws me behind schedule and pisses me
off. I'm the one that gets the speeding tickets.

236
00:16:28,090 --> 00:16:31,539
I really don't give a shit
but I do the best I can.

237
00:16:35,887 --> 00:16:37,049
Good morning, Philadelphia.

238
00:16:37,221 --> 00:16:42,845
Senator Brickley Paiste denied allegations
in a report in the Pittsburgh Post Times

239
00:16:43,018 --> 00:16:46,635
accusing him of an extramarital liaison
with a campaign worker.

240
00:16:46,814 --> 00:16:49,730
The girl is a friend of my granddaughter.

241
00:16:49,899 --> 00:16:55,403
The entire photograph shows that
my granddaughter is in the back of the car.

242
00:16:55,569 --> 00:17:01,405
I deeply resent this slander and you can be
sure I'm going to find out who's behind it.

243
00:17:01,574 --> 00:17:05,738
Polls show that Senator Paiste's lead
has slipped considerably

244
00:17:05,912 --> 00:17:08,069
and he's ahead by only a narrow margin.

245
00:17:08,248 --> 00:17:12,624
We are doing very well
in every area of the state.

246
00:17:12,792 --> 00:17:15,411
We're doing well in the depressed areas.

247
00:17:15,586 --> 00:17:18,955
These areas have been hit hard.
They're depressed economically.

248
00:17:19,131 --> 00:17:21,800
Plants and their supporting industries
have closed.

249
00:17:21,966 --> 00:17:25,550
People don't have jobs.
They can't afford to feed their families.

250
00:17:25,721 --> 00:17:27,759
They're foreclosing on their homes.

251
00:17:27,932 --> 00:17:31,263
Something has to be done for them.
Bob's going to do it.

252
00:17:31,433 --> 00:17:34,386
Check our security coordinates.

253
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,645
- Call...
- Henry.

254
00:17:37,814 --> 00:17:41,682
Come on, next. On my screen.
Key in, key in.

255
00:17:41,860 --> 00:17:44,147
- 5,006.
- Next.

256
00:17:44,318 --> 00:17:47,438
- 5,000...
- I sent a fax on that, Bob.

257
00:17:47,615 --> 00:17:50,650
Lavalle, you'll be on a slow boat
to Tiananmen Square.

258
00:17:50,824 --> 00:17:54,573
Bob Roberts is a tribute
to the possibilities of the American dream.

259
00:17:54,745 --> 00:17:57,531
A self-made man at the age of 35,

260
00:17:57,706 --> 00:18:01,702
he is rumoured to have a net worth
of something over $40 million.

261
00:18:01,876 --> 00:18:06,336
I'm waiting to meet Bob Roberts
in the sanitary confines of the Pride,

262
00:18:06,505 --> 00:18:10,004
his functionally designed
two-room trading floor on wheels.

263
00:18:10,174 --> 00:18:14,552
Ever since this Iraq business, talking to your
broker's like talking to an insecure child.

264
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,546
- Who was that?
- Lavalle.

265
00:18:16,722 --> 00:18:20,219
- There goes the pool.
- And the house in the country.

266
00:18:20,391 --> 00:18:24,304
Tell me something. The markets
have been in a tumultuous state

267
00:18:24,478 --> 00:18:27,596
for the last three years, since the crash of '87.

268
00:18:27,772 --> 00:18:30,726
Did you lose money in the crash?

269
00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:33,937
- Yeah, right.
- What's funny?

270
00:18:34,112 --> 00:18:37,644
Back to work.
The slow lost money in that crash.

271
00:18:37,821 --> 00:18:41,239
The smart money got out
before the junk bond hit the fan.

272
00:18:41,409 --> 00:18:45,785
That up-to-the-minute, gold-plated information
cost me considerable effort.

273
00:18:45,954 --> 00:18:50,947
If I had been out when those calls came in,
I'd have been screwed, but I am smart.

274
00:18:51,126 --> 00:18:54,743
I know the importance of paging systems
and mobile phones.

275
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,503
Everyone's nerous about the lack of control
of the political situation overseas.

276
00:18:58,674 --> 00:19:02,717
You can't readily obtain that information
but you can stay in touch.

277
00:19:02,886 --> 00:19:06,418
I won't say too much.
There are things you can do.

278
00:19:06,596 --> 00:19:10,428
There are ways you can read the world.
And what I read excites me.

279
00:19:12,643 --> 00:19:14,932
W- W-W-W-Wall Street

280
00:19:15,104 --> 00:19:17,594
W- W-W-Wall Street

281
00:19:17,773 --> 00:19:19,812
Wall Street rap

282
00:19:19,983 --> 00:19:22,059
Michael takes a loan
from a Midwestern SandL

283
00:19:22,235 --> 00:19:24,357
He puts the money in a quick-drying inkwell

284
00:19:24,529 --> 00:19:26,650
Takes a loss, gets cross
Walks to the corner store

285
00:19:26,821 --> 00:19:28,946
Pulls a knife, calls his wife
Can't take it any more

286
00:19:29,116 --> 00:19:31,238
Look out, Joe, how far will it go

287
00:19:31,409 --> 00:19:34,326
Take away the fire
And where does the water flow?

288
00:19:34,496 --> 00:19:37,945
SandL
SandL

289
00:19:38,123 --> 00:19:40,411
Jerry's in the attic, messing with the static

290
00:19:40,584 --> 00:19:42,540
Junior's on the telephone
Nothing problematic

291
00:19:42,710 --> 00:19:44,834
Julie's selling T-bonds
Her bill is turning over

292
00:19:45,006 --> 00:19:47,043
John is building walls
Manipulating a takeover

293
00:19:47,213 --> 00:19:49,420
Look out, Joe, how far will it go

294
00:19:49,591 --> 00:19:51,666
Take away the fire
And where does the water flow?

295
00:19:53,761 --> 00:19:55,884
Manipulating a takeover

296
00:19:56,057 --> 00:19:58,343
Get tough, get right
Try to get some sleep at night

297
00:19:58,515 --> 00:20:00,425
Try hard, get harder
Love to win, live to fight

298
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,676
Own the town, love the best
Don't share the treasure chest

299
00:20:02,852 --> 00:20:04,974
If you cheat, get away
Lead them down an alleyway

300
00:20:05,146 --> 00:20:07,102
Look out, Joe, how far will it go

301
00:20:07,273 --> 00:20:10,556
Take away the fire
and where does the water flow?

302
00:20:13,861 --> 00:20:15,984
Look out, Joe, how far will it go

303
00:20:16,155 --> 00:20:19,738
Take away the fire
and where does the water flow?

304
00:20:24,329 --> 00:20:26,073
Po-po-po-po-po-pork

305
00:20:26,247 --> 00:20:29,911
Pork pork pork
Pork bellies

306
00:20:30,083 --> 00:20:34,495
Now is the time to invest. We mustn't
be intimidated by Third World madmen.

307
00:20:34,670 --> 00:20:39,746
We must stay strong and market confident.
Reluctance feeds the aggressor.

308
00:20:39,926 --> 00:20:42,926
As we say, if you're afraid of an act of market...

309
00:20:43,094 --> 00:20:45,132
You're a dead man!

310
00:20:45,305 --> 00:20:47,132
Let's lock and load.

311
00:20:47,307 --> 00:20:51,221
There'll be a resolution in the Mid-East
and a bull market. Mark my words.

312
00:20:51,394 --> 00:20:53,468
Thank you for your time.

313
00:20:53,646 --> 00:20:55,436
We're on the move.

315
00:21:02,819 --> 00:21:04,692
Good luck, Bob!

316
00:21:04,862 --> 00:21:06,986
To the right, please.

317
00:21:07,282 --> 00:21:10,731
Everybody to the right, please.
To the right, thank you.

318
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:15,406
To the right, please.

319
00:21:16,330 --> 00:21:19,533
Mr Roberts, I contacted your campaign office.

320
00:21:19,709 --> 00:21:24,037
They told me I had to be connected
to a major news network or newspaper.

321
00:21:24,213 --> 00:21:28,376
That's ridiculous. Talk to Chet MacGregor
and he'll take care of it.

322
00:21:36,264 --> 00:21:38,968
- What is your name?
- Bugs.

323
00:21:39,142 --> 00:21:41,132
John Alijah Raplin.

324
00:21:41,309 --> 00:21:43,054
John Raplin. Publication?

325
00:21:43,229 --> 00:21:45,055
Troubled Times.

326
00:21:45,230 --> 00:21:47,518
There'll be a pass at the door tonight.

327
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:50,523
Yeah. Sure.

329
00:21:53,443 --> 00:21:56,444
- It scares the hell out of me.
- My goodness.

330
00:21:56,615 --> 00:22:00,482
- I don't think so.
- Of course not. It's a bad idea.

331
00:22:00,659 --> 00:22:01,940
You wanted to see it through.

332
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,531
Mr Hart thinks we should stick with the red,
white and blue. Simplicity and strength.

333
00:22:06,707 --> 00:22:10,075
I agree with Mr Hart. This one is too basic.

334
00:22:10,249 --> 00:22:13,039
This one, I like it but it's too strong.

335
00:22:13,212 --> 00:22:17,126
This one is a nightmare. It scares me.

336
00:22:17,299 --> 00:22:22,255
I tend to agree with Mr Hart as well.
Stick with the current campaign. Bart?

337
00:22:22,427 --> 00:22:24,301
- Absolutely.
- Straight up.

338
00:22:24,471 --> 00:22:28,763
- Terry, what do you think?
- Me? No question. That's the one.

339
00:22:28,933 --> 00:22:31,554
- How about you?
- Nigel?

340
00:22:33,145 --> 00:22:35,637
The nodding Nigel. Thank you.

341
00:22:35,814 --> 00:22:38,731
Next, our new television commercial.

342
00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:42,730
Guys, get out of the way.
Bob, you sit here. Scat, Bart.

343
00:22:44,153 --> 00:22:48,613
It's 15 seconds. It makes its point strongly.
It starts airing tomorrow.

344
00:22:48,784 --> 00:22:53,777
<i>[Choir] For a new day dawning</i>

345
00:22:58,123 --> 00:23:00,745
- What do you think, Bart?
- I love it, Bob.

346
00:23:00,918 --> 00:23:02,165
- Perrigrew?
- Great, Bob.

347
00:23:02,336 --> 00:23:04,956
- Dockett?
- Chilly most, Bob.

348
00:23:05,130 --> 00:23:06,838
- What'd he say?
- Chilly most.

349
00:23:07,007 --> 00:23:10,007
- What's that?
- It means terrific, Bob.

350
00:23:10,176 --> 00:23:14,255
Glad you like it.
We have two more spots in production.

351
00:23:14,429 --> 00:23:18,093
We have the mayor's wife outside,
lovely lady, who wants to see you

352
00:23:18,266 --> 00:23:21,432
and three boys who want to say hello
to Bob Roberts.

353
00:23:21,602 --> 00:23:23,808
Cobra Two, we're on the move.

354
00:23:23,978 --> 00:23:25,557
- Hello.
- Hi.

355
00:23:25,732 --> 00:23:27,770
Mrs Davis, this is Bob Roberts.

356
00:23:27,940 --> 00:23:30,265
We're so happy to have you here.

357
00:23:30,442 --> 00:23:33,609
We're so proud to play your music
in our home.

358
00:23:33,779 --> 00:23:37,280
Sometimes I play it when I'm alone,
but don't tell my husband.

359
00:23:40,700 --> 00:23:46,325
Frank and I agree that you are an excellent
example for the youth of this country.

360
00:23:46,498 --> 00:23:51,159
We wish there were more singers like you
and we intend to vote for you.

361
00:23:51,336 --> 00:23:55,035
We're so tired of Brickley Paiste
and his philandering.

362
00:23:55,214 --> 00:24:01,250
- This is my son Roger and his two friends.
- We got all... both album...

363
00:24:01,427 --> 00:24:03,919
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.

364
00:24:07,765 --> 00:24:09,973
We got a band. We play some of your songs.

365
00:24:10,144 --> 00:24:14,187
We play Retake America
and This Land Was Made For Me.

366
00:24:14,356 --> 00:24:17,189
- What instrument do you play?
- Guitar. We all play guitar.

367
00:24:17,357 --> 00:24:22,483
When Roger first wanted his guitar,
my husband I were fit as birds.

368
00:24:22,654 --> 00:24:27,859
But my husband trusted that his son
would take the lessons of the Lord with him,

369
00:24:28,032 --> 00:24:31,616
no matter what instrument of the Devil
caressed his hand.

370
00:24:31,787 --> 00:24:33,862
You inspire us to do, like, stuff.

371
00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:38,201
- You... you're great.
- I wish that there was... you know, stuff.

372
00:24:38,377 --> 00:24:42,537
Like, you know, if there was...
When I heard that...

373
00:24:42,712 --> 00:24:47,005
Are there any more stuff?
Has... When's the new album?

374
00:24:47,175 --> 00:24:49,415
Election Day. We're releasing it Election Day.

375
00:24:49,594 --> 00:24:53,425
Mr Roberts has to be on his way.
What are the songs about?

376
00:24:53,596 --> 00:24:56,170
Various things. Congress, liberals, Iraq.

377
00:24:56,349 --> 00:24:58,506
We heard about that. Iraq.

378
00:24:58,684 --> 00:25:00,925
Yeah. I hope we kick their ass.

379
00:25:01,101 --> 00:25:03,973
So do I. Will it be necessary to use force?

380
00:25:04,146 --> 00:25:07,515
We must be strong
whenever democracy is threatened.

381
00:25:07,691 --> 00:25:13,029
We want to avoid violence but it might
be necessary. Hussein is a madman.

382
00:25:13,195 --> 00:25:16,279
- Sorry, Bob has a show to get ready for.
- Of course.

383
00:25:16,449 --> 00:25:22,534
It's been a pleasure meeting you. I wish there
was a way I could vote for you 100 times.

384
00:25:22,703 --> 00:25:24,993
- There is, actually.
- Really?

385
00:25:25,957 --> 00:25:27,664
Just kidding.

388
00:25:44,305 --> 00:25:47,970
Let's not show this.
Come on over here with me.

389
00:25:48,141 --> 00:25:52,554
To understand who Bob Roberts is,
you have to understand who Lukas Hart llI is.

390
00:25:52,730 --> 00:25:56,228
Lukas Hart is a spook,
one of the Langley crowd new guard.

391
00:25:56,398 --> 00:25:58,640
Hart has been in the shadows for years.

392
00:25:58,818 --> 00:26:03,527
A lieutenant in Vietnam, Special Forces.
Worked on the infamous Phoenix programme.

393
00:26:03,698 --> 00:26:07,112
Transferred to South America,
helped overthrow Allende.

394
00:26:07,283 --> 00:26:10,615
In Central America,
he probably popped a couple of heads.

395
00:26:10,784 --> 00:26:16,289
Set up an organisation, Broken Dove, which
supplied transport planes to US operatives.

396
00:26:16,458 --> 00:26:19,577
Got his hands dirty in Iran-Contra,
but the Senate washed him clean.

397
00:26:19,753 --> 00:26:23,700
- I can't recall, sir.
- You can't recall. I see.

398
00:26:24,507 --> 00:26:27,957
Did you or your organisation Broken Dove

399
00:26:28,135 --> 00:26:31,966
have anything to do with a transport plane
downed in Nicaragua...

400
00:26:32,137 --> 00:26:34,591
- Sir...
... on May 23rd, 1987?

401
00:26:34,764 --> 00:26:37,800
The plane was contracted
to fly humanitarian supplies

402
00:26:37,975 --> 00:26:42,353
into impoverished regions
in southern Honduras.

403
00:26:42,521 --> 00:26:45,723
Broken Dove is a private relief corporation.

404
00:26:45,898 --> 00:26:48,935
You had no knowledge of the guns
on that plane?

405
00:26:49,111 --> 00:26:50,355
No, sir.

406
00:26:50,529 --> 00:26:53,812
The three men were all
close business associates of yours?

407
00:26:53,989 --> 00:26:56,313
Rest their souls, yes.

408
00:26:56,491 --> 00:26:59,860
They were patriots acting
on their own volition, their own beliefs.

409
00:27:00,035 --> 00:27:02,407
Can you sum up these beliefs for us?

410
00:27:02,579 --> 00:27:07,787
That the US Congress was restricting
the growth and safeguard of democracy

411
00:27:07,959 --> 00:27:10,247
in Central America.

412
00:27:10,419 --> 00:27:13,835
That the actions of these men,
although against the Boland Amendment,

413
00:27:14,006 --> 00:27:17,171
were nevertheless on the side
of goodness and decency.

414
00:27:17,342 --> 00:27:19,714
I have a copy of an FBI report

415
00:27:19,884 --> 00:27:23,835
regarding traces of cocaine
found on one of the transport planes.

416
00:27:24,013 --> 00:27:27,217
This is sensitive material
that should be dealt with in closed session.

417
00:27:27,393 --> 00:27:32,977
This is an example of the depths to which
the US Congress is prepared to sink.

418
00:27:33,146 --> 00:27:35,020
This is a travesty.

419
00:27:35,191 --> 00:27:39,769
The charges were found to be
groundless and Broken Dove was exonerated.

420
00:27:39,945 --> 00:27:42,102
The whole investigation was a sham.

421
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,193
They discovered a secret government of liars
and drug smugglers and did nothing.

422
00:27:46,367 --> 00:27:49,652
Slap on the wrist.
The story died in the major press.

423
00:27:49,827 --> 00:27:53,361
Idiots like me keep investigating
to find out how deep it goes.

424
00:27:53,538 --> 00:27:56,077
I have a contact who claims to have evidence

425
00:27:56,249 --> 00:28:01,327
that connects Broken Dove to a failed
savings and loan. It could be big. Gotta go.

426
00:28:01,504 --> 00:28:06,046
I cannot believe the lies
and innuendo you have been the victim of.

427
00:28:06,216 --> 00:28:12,550
It is clear that you had no involvement with
this escapade and we're wasting your time.

428
00:28:12,722 --> 00:28:15,804
- I am sorry.
- I appreciate that.

429
00:28:15,974 --> 00:28:19,058
Is there anything
that you would like to add, Mr Hart?

430
00:28:19,229 --> 00:28:23,935
These allegations are erroneous at best,
always have been, always will be.

431
00:28:24,106 --> 00:28:27,973
How much more of this fiction
must my family suffer?

432
00:28:28,150 --> 00:28:30,772
God knows, I've done enough by now

433
00:28:30,946 --> 00:28:34,610
to make my position on narcotics
perfectly clear.

434
00:28:34,781 --> 00:28:36,858
Drugs stink

435
00:28:37,034 --> 00:28:38,575
They make me sick

436
00:28:39,662 --> 00:28:41,489
Those that sell 'em

437
00:28:41,663 --> 00:28:43,988
And those who do 'em

438
00:28:44,165 --> 00:28:46,156
String 'em up

439
00:28:46,333 --> 00:28:48,490
From the highest tree

440
00:28:48,667 --> 00:28:52,713
Without a trace of sympathy

441
00:28:53,464 --> 00:28:55,836
Drugs stink

442
00:28:56,009 --> 00:28:58,130
Drugs stink

443
00:28:58,301 --> 00:29:02,761
Be a clean-living man
with a rope in your hand

444
00:29:02,931 --> 00:29:05,171
Drugs stink

445
00:29:05,348 --> 00:29:07,424
Drugs stink

446
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,645
Hang 'em high for a clean-living land

447
00:29:11,813 --> 00:29:14,102
Pot-headed weirdos

448
00:29:14,274 --> 00:29:16,146
Sex deviates

449
00:29:17,025 --> 00:29:18,768
Dancing fools

450
00:29:18,943 --> 00:29:21,068
Their day is done

451
00:29:21,238 --> 00:29:25,816
It's time to leave the face of this earth

452
00:29:25,991 --> 00:29:28,147
Dope-smoking morons

453
00:29:28,326 --> 00:29:30,818
Dirty hippie freaks

454
00:29:30,995 --> 00:29:33,202
Drugs stink

455
00:29:33,374 --> 00:29:35,412
Drugs stink

456
00:29:35,582 --> 00:29:39,996
Be a clean-living man
with a rope in your hand

457
00:29:40,171 --> 00:29:42,411
Drugs stink

458
00:29:42,589 --> 00:29:44,627
Drugs stink

459
00:29:44,798 --> 00:29:49,127
Hang 'em high for a clean-living land

460
00:29:49,303 --> 00:29:58,339
Hang 'em high for a clean-living land

461
00:29:58,852 --> 00:30:00,928
Hey!

462
00:30:07,651 --> 00:30:13,523
Despite indications of a stagnant economy,
one business is showing an increase in profit.

463
00:30:13,697 --> 00:30:16,733
Ribbon manufacturers have had
a huge increase in demand

464
00:30:16,909 --> 00:30:20,443
as Americans are showing support
of our troops in the Persian Gulf.

465
00:30:20,620 --> 00:30:25,199
Mr Bob Roberts suggested he knew
which way I was leaning

466
00:30:25,374 --> 00:30:27,663
on the question of war in the Middle East.

467
00:30:27,835 --> 00:30:32,081
I am totally opposed to it.
It's the enemy of the month club again.

468
00:30:32,255 --> 00:30:37,378
Saddam Hussein, I believe, is the most
evil man - what did the President say? -

469
00:30:37,552 --> 00:30:39,590
since Adolf Hitler.

470
00:30:39,761 --> 00:30:45,465
Before that, it was Noriega.
He was the most evil man since Fu Manchu.

471
00:30:45,642 --> 00:30:48,677
And there was Gaddafi and there was Castro.

472
00:30:48,853 --> 00:30:53,643
And these figures are thrown out to the media
and made into great monsters.

473
00:30:53,814 --> 00:30:57,481
Why? Because we must justify
the military budget.

474
00:30:57,652 --> 00:31:00,687
In order to do that, you must have enemies.

475
00:31:00,863 --> 00:31:06,816
So we blow up these local thugs
into these huge, Hitler-like figures

476
00:31:06,993 --> 00:31:09,909
and pretend it's World War II all over again.

477
00:31:10,079 --> 00:31:13,163
[Aide] Do not pin your hopes and dreams
on transport planes.

478
00:31:13,331 --> 00:31:16,782
They'll only build transport planes
if the shooting war is prolonged.

479
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,254
It's not going to be another Vietnam.
A little bird tells me this.

480
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:27,630
- Was it Hart, Dockett?
- Hi, Lisa. Mr Bourne will be dropping by.

481
00:31:27,802 --> 00:31:31,846
Don't wait for him. Come on, get it.

482
00:31:32,014 --> 00:31:36,093
Buy 6,012. Next. Sell 45,000.

483
00:31:36,267 --> 00:31:38,260
- Hang on to those puts.

484
00:31:38,437 --> 00:31:40,309
How can I help you vote Bob?

485
00:31:50,446 --> 00:31:51,903
Bob, you're the best.

486
00:31:52,072 --> 00:31:56,365
- We love you, Bob.
- Cheez whiz, Calvin, don't be a fag! God!

487
00:31:57,119 --> 00:31:59,276
You support Broken Dove?

488
00:31:59,452 --> 00:32:03,700
Yes, proudly. Broken Dove works effectively
to keep children off drugs.

489
00:32:03,875 --> 00:32:06,995
Before its current incarnation
as an anti-drugs organisation,

490
00:32:07,169 --> 00:32:11,379
Broken Dove bought transport planes
that smuggled drugs.

491
00:32:11,547 --> 00:32:14,501
That is absurd and subversive and old news.

492
00:32:14,673 --> 00:32:18,921
Broken Dove was exonerated of these
ridiculous charges by the US Senate.

493
00:32:19,096 --> 00:32:24,052
Evidence suggests these planes were bought
with money from a low-income housing loan

494
00:32:24,224 --> 00:32:27,475
from West Pennsylvania Savings and Loan,
now insolvent.

495
00:32:27,644 --> 00:32:28,723
What are you saying?

496
00:32:28,895 --> 00:32:32,644
You took money meant for housing
to buy planes to smuggle drugs.

497
00:32:32,815 --> 00:32:35,020
Ridiculous. Chet, did you hear that?

498
00:32:35,192 --> 00:32:38,396
- Where is the money from those loans?
- Building housing.

499
00:32:38,570 --> 00:32:41,190
Where exactly are these houses?

500
00:32:42,322 --> 00:32:46,734
Do you feel any responsibility for the illegal
activities carried out by groups you support?

501
00:32:46,910 --> 00:32:51,786
I told you. Broken Dove was exonerated
of these charges.

502
00:32:51,956 --> 00:32:55,823
Why would you ask a question like that?
What would motivate you?

503
00:32:56,001 --> 00:33:01,206
I am talking about new evidence
connecting Broken Dove to the failed SandL.

504
00:33:01,381 --> 00:33:03,752
What is your question? Ask the question.

505
00:33:03,924 --> 00:33:07,706
A group that you support
was recently implicated...

506
00:33:07,886 --> 00:33:10,127
What is meant by the word "implicated"?

507
00:33:10,305 --> 00:33:14,348
- To suggest. To connect.
- Not proved. Not to indict.

508
00:33:14,516 --> 00:33:17,851
Are you making allegations
you're willing to back up in court?

509
00:33:18,020 --> 00:33:21,187
The camera just documented all this on film.

510
00:33:21,357 --> 00:33:24,025
I don't think you're being fair.

511
00:33:24,191 --> 00:33:27,062
- Where is your evidence?
- I have a sworn affidavit.

512
00:33:27,235 --> 00:33:31,944
You're not showing any respect and you're
abusing your responsibility as a journalist.

513
00:33:32,116 --> 00:33:34,273
Leave it on.

514
00:33:34,450 --> 00:33:39,110
Is being responsible as a journalist to ignore
the issues, to gloss over the facts?

515
00:33:39,287 --> 00:33:42,203
No. Responsible journalism is objective.

516
00:33:42,373 --> 00:33:46,452
The interiewer does not bring
his own opinions into the interiew.

517
00:33:46,629 --> 00:33:49,497
I asked a question and you evaded it.

518
00:33:49,671 --> 00:33:54,416
I evaded nothing. You have asked a slanted
question based on lies and conjecture

519
00:33:54,591 --> 00:33:58,506
and I have given an answer appropriate
to that kind of yellow journalism.

520
00:33:58,678 --> 00:34:03,423
- That answer is?
- The answer is I don't talk to liars or gossips.

521
00:34:03,599 --> 00:34:07,761
- The interiew is over. Thanks for your time.
- Turn the camera off now, please.

522
00:34:07,936 --> 00:34:11,353
Bart, please escort this gentleman to the door.

523
00:34:11,523 --> 00:34:15,769
Mr Roberts, is it true you referred to crack
as a great equaliser?

524
00:34:15,942 --> 00:34:17,059
Camera off.

525
00:34:17,236 --> 00:34:21,897
And suggesting that crack seres
to reduce the African-American population?

526
00:34:22,073 --> 00:34:26,070
- When Bob says cut it off, cut it off.
- It's off now.

527
00:34:26,242 --> 00:34:28,282
- Is that off?
- Yes, it's off.

528
00:34:28,453 --> 00:34:31,324
What the hell is this? This is a meltdown!

529
00:34:31,498 --> 00:34:33,705
- Where were your men?
- We took the wrong door.

530
00:34:33,875 --> 00:34:36,494
Clark, this can't happen.

531
00:34:36,669 --> 00:34:42,789
You were supposed to go where? You were
supposed to meet me upstairs. Listen to me.

532
00:34:42,966 --> 00:34:45,800
We have a campaign we've got to win.

533
00:34:46,343 --> 00:34:47,969
Listen.

535
00:35:08,988 --> 00:35:12,652
She's a beautiful girl

536
00:35:13,700 --> 00:35:16,818
As pretty as a picture

537
00:35:18,245 --> 00:35:20,653
She's a day in May

538
00:35:20,830 --> 00:35:22,409
As real as today

539
00:35:22,583 --> 00:35:26,082
She's got to be a girl

540
00:35:27,295 --> 00:35:30,995
She's a beautiful girl

541
00:35:32,257 --> 00:35:35,424
A face full of flowers

542
00:35:37,096 --> 00:35:38,719
A dynamite dame

543
00:35:38,888 --> 00:35:41,129
- She's destined for fame
- Bob!

544
00:35:41,306 --> 00:35:43,300
She's got to be a girl

545
00:35:43,476 --> 00:35:47,222
Ladies and gentlemen,
our finalists are Miss Crucible...

546
00:35:49,147 --> 00:35:51,387
...Miss Broken Dove...

547
00:35:52,607 --> 00:35:55,562
...Miss Three Mile Island...

548
00:35:56,569 --> 00:35:58,977
...Miss Pittsburgh...

549
00:35:59,155 --> 00:36:01,609
...Miss Roadkill...

550
00:36:02,991 --> 00:36:05,825
...Miss Philadelphia.

551
00:36:05,993 --> 00:36:08,744
She's a beautiful girl...

552
00:36:08,912 --> 00:36:11,320
Take care of her, Bart.

553
00:36:11,498 --> 00:36:15,661
- Bye, Mom.
- Goodbye, Mother!

554
00:36:15,835 --> 00:36:17,709
A five-alarm fire

555
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,037
- There he is!
- Our heart's desire

556
00:36:20,214 --> 00:36:23,416
A beautiful girl...

557
00:36:23,592 --> 00:36:27,339
A drug smuggler. And you're gonna pay!
You're gonna pay!

558
00:36:28,639 --> 00:36:33,382
You've sold out your country, Mr Roberts,
and I'm going to get you!

559
00:36:34,267 --> 00:36:36,841
You're looking at me, Bob! At me!

560
00:36:37,021 --> 00:36:39,688
- Just wait there, ma'am.
- Give me that.

561
00:36:39,854 --> 00:36:47,399
A spectacular girl

562
00:36:47,572 --> 00:36:50,857
I'm gonna get you, Bob Roberts!

563
00:36:51,031 --> 00:36:55,324
A recent report on homelessness
by the Coalition for the Homeless

564
00:36:55,493 --> 00:36:57,368
estimates that over...

565
00:36:57,538 --> 00:37:00,111
I can't read that.

566
00:37:00,290 --> 00:37:02,863
...Americans live without homes

567
00:37:03,042 --> 00:37:06,790
and a lot of Americans
live below the poverty level.

568
00:37:06,961 --> 00:37:11,423
At a press conference, Senator
Brickley Paiste addressed the problem.

569
00:37:11,591 --> 00:37:16,419
We've discussed the Paiste amendment,
which I shall introduce into the Senate.

570
00:37:16,595 --> 00:37:21,172
This will earmark $200 million
for the homeless throughout the country.

571
00:37:21,348 --> 00:37:24,967
Where does the money come from?
It's the famous peace dividend

572
00:37:25,143 --> 00:37:30,847
which I hope very much the President
will not transform into an investment in war.

573
00:37:31,023 --> 00:37:36,860
On a lighter note, the Miss Independence
Beauty Contest was held tonight in Altoona.

574
00:37:37,029 --> 00:37:39,436
Contestants came from throughout the state,

575
00:37:39,614 --> 00:37:44,525
vying for top honours and the chance to
represent Pennsylvania in the national finals.

576
00:37:44,702 --> 00:37:49,328
Senatorial candidate Bob Roberts was there,
lending his support for the contest.

577
00:37:49,497 --> 00:37:53,542
- And the winner was Miss Crucible.
- There she is. Beautiful.

578
00:37:53,708 --> 00:37:57,707
- You talked a lot about your childhood.
- You do? That's exciting.

579
00:37:57,879 --> 00:38:02,920
- Yeah. She had really great rhythm.
- She told me she never had fried chicken.

580
00:38:05,928 --> 00:38:11,267
Polls show Bob Roberts ahead of Senator
Brickley Paiste in their race for the Senate.

581
00:38:11,434 --> 00:38:15,263
Paiste can't seem to shake
the accusations of sexual misconduct

582
00:38:15,436 --> 00:38:17,594
that hit his campaign last week.

583
00:38:17,771 --> 00:38:20,177
Have the allegations hurt your campaign?

584
00:38:20,355 --> 00:38:24,934
Of course not. This is America.
Virtue always prevails.

585
00:38:37,663 --> 00:38:42,621
Reports suggest that the Roberts campaign
has been behind the leak of the story

586
00:38:42,792 --> 00:38:45,199
regarding yourself and a campaign worker.

587
00:38:45,378 --> 00:38:48,414
- That is a lie.
- The whole thing is a lie.

588
00:38:48,589 --> 00:38:52,752
I've already explained that the girl
is a close friend of my granddaughter

589
00:38:52,925 --> 00:38:55,380
and I was driving them both home.

590
00:38:55,552 --> 00:39:00,298
I'm also distressed that a 16-year-old
who has done nothing wrong

591
00:39:00,473 --> 00:39:02,880
should be so publicly vilified.

592
00:39:03,059 --> 00:39:08,764
As for Bob Roberts,
I could imply guilt by association,

593
00:39:08,939 --> 00:39:11,345
which I think you would like me to do.

594
00:39:11,525 --> 00:39:12,936
But I won't

595
00:39:13,110 --> 00:39:18,232
because I do not believe, and I have
never believed, in negative campaigning.

596
00:39:18,404 --> 00:39:22,237
Ladies and gentlemen,
why can't you get ahead?

597
00:39:22,409 --> 00:39:28,493
Why can't you have the home of your
dreams, the fast car, a nice vacation?

598
00:39:28,663 --> 00:39:33,823
Let's tackle the homeless problem.
Let's tackle childcare, health care.

599
00:39:34,001 --> 00:39:39,588
Why has your American dream been
relegated to the trash heap of history?

600
00:39:39,756 --> 00:39:41,583
I'll tell you why.

601
00:39:41,759 --> 00:39:46,584
Because of the wasteful social programmes
of Brickley Paiste.

602
00:39:46,762 --> 00:39:49,086
Let's put people back to work,

603
00:39:49,264 --> 00:39:52,634
create jobs, encourage industry.

604
00:39:53,434 --> 00:39:56,638
I can see a brighter future

605
00:39:56,813 --> 00:40:01,771
but we have to work hard
and, dare I say it, sacrifice.

606
00:40:01,941 --> 00:40:03,899
And I remind the public

607
00:40:04,068 --> 00:40:06,561
that Brickley Paiste still has not told us

608
00:40:06,738 --> 00:40:10,271
how he will vote
on the use of force in the Persian Gulf.

609
00:40:10,449 --> 00:40:15,988
We need a strong America,
dedicated to issues that matter.

610
00:40:16,163 --> 00:40:19,246
We need to care about people.

611
00:40:19,414 --> 00:40:25,333
Let's cut taxes, let's make it possible for the
working man to keep the money he earns.

612
00:40:25,504 --> 00:40:30,248
Because that is what politics is really about.

613
00:40:30,424 --> 00:40:34,468
Reality, not image.

614
00:40:34,636 --> 00:40:40,009
Vote for me and I will bring the values of the
common man to bear in Washington, DC.

615
00:40:40,182 --> 00:40:42,719
I will bring youth and experience

616
00:40:42,893 --> 00:40:45,431
and passion and belief.

617
00:40:45,603 --> 00:40:49,766
So let us be real together.

618
00:40:49,939 --> 00:40:52,181
Thank you for your vote.

620
00:41:30,766 --> 00:41:35,842
I was quite disturbed during
our famous debate, if it could be called that.

621
00:41:36,104 --> 00:41:39,270
A series of photo opportunities
is perhaps more precise.

622
00:41:40,943 --> 00:41:45,402
I get vibrations from Mr Bob Roberts

623
00:41:45,570 --> 00:41:47,978
of a very disturbing sort.

624
00:41:48,155 --> 00:41:52,532
I haven't any idea who he is.
I haven't any idea what he's like.

625
00:41:53,577 --> 00:41:56,412
I don't think I'm supposed to have any idea.

626
00:41:56,579 --> 00:42:02,663
I know that he proved to be a master
of pushing racist buttons and sexist buttons,

627
00:42:02,835 --> 00:42:04,626
this and that.

628
00:42:04,794 --> 00:42:07,166
The politics of emotion.

629
00:42:07,339 --> 00:42:09,711
He's very good at that.

630
00:42:09,883 --> 00:42:14,176
What's behind it?
I don't see anybody at home.

631
00:42:15,220 --> 00:42:19,965
But I will say that once or twice
in the course of our debate

632
00:42:20,140 --> 00:42:26,095
I detected a slight whiff of sulphur in the air.

633
00:42:27,398 --> 00:42:30,017
I'm a bleeding heart

634
00:42:30,191 --> 00:42:32,764
Let's give money away

635
00:42:32,944 --> 00:42:35,694
To lazy people in the slums

636
00:42:35,863 --> 00:42:38,152
I'm a bleeding heart

637
00:42:38,325 --> 00:42:41,194
Let's eliminate our nuclear bombs

638
00:42:41,368 --> 00:42:44,403
Arabs can be

639
00:42:45,163 --> 00:42:46,907
Our friends

640
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,159
Right (I)

641
00:42:48,332 --> 00:42:50,870
Don't vote if you believe in that

642
00:42:51,043 --> 00:42:53,794
We'll be fine without you

643
00:42:53,961 --> 00:42:56,630
It's plain to see what you believe

644
00:42:56,798 --> 00:42:58,789
Will lead to anarchy

645
00:42:58,966 --> 00:43:04,634
I've been up all night to meet the deadline.
Bob Roberts and SandL, by Bugs Raplin.

646
00:43:04,804 --> 00:43:08,469
And I quote, this based on a source
I spoke to last night...

647
00:43:08,639 --> 00:43:10,762
October 22nd.  Today.

648
00:43:10,934 --> 00:43:15,261
An unidentified source in the West
Pennsylvania Savings and Loan disaster

649
00:43:15,438 --> 00:43:20,679
told this reporter that in 1986 an organisation
called Broken Dove procured real estate loans

650
00:43:20,860 --> 00:43:23,432
under the pretence of building housing
for the homeless

651
00:43:23,611 --> 00:43:27,656
and used the money to buy
transport planes for private enterprise. 

652
00:43:27,823 --> 00:43:32,816
Active board members at the time
included businessmen Lukas Hart III

653
00:43:32,994 --> 00:43:35,745
and US senatorial candidate Bob Roberts. 

654
00:43:35,914 --> 00:43:38,450
So if you're hanging to the right

655
00:43:38,623 --> 00:43:41,541
You can vote for me

656
00:43:41,710 --> 00:43:44,081
It is your God-given right

657
00:43:44,253 --> 00:43:47,040
From sea to shining sea

658
00:43:47,214 --> 00:43:51,046
Roberts and Hart ripped off
savings and loans to buy planes.

659
00:43:51,218 --> 00:43:56,377
The money meant for low-income housing
went to buy planes to smuggle drugs.

660
00:43:56,555 --> 00:44:01,549
- This is an astonishing accusation.
- This is the smoking gun. He's going down.

661
00:44:02,644 --> 00:44:05,349
Together we'll be strong

662
00:44:07,189 --> 00:44:11,732
If the majors pick up this story,
I'll be surprised. I don't expect they will.

663
00:44:11,901 --> 00:44:17,026
I have a contact at a TV station in Harrisburg.
Maybe he'll run it. This could be big.

664
00:44:17,198 --> 00:44:19,025
I gotta go. You keep that.

667
00:44:33,713 --> 00:44:36,334
How about a big hand for Clarissa Flan?

669
00:44:46,182 --> 00:44:47,889
Thanks, Clarrie.

670
00:44:49,058 --> 00:44:53,719
- This next little ditty is dedicated to...
- Bob stinks!

672
00:44:58,941 --> 00:45:01,147
This next little ditty is dedicated to you.

673
00:45:01,317 --> 00:45:05,480
- One, two, three, four!
- Cobra, come in.

674
00:45:11,577 --> 00:45:13,984
Some people must have

675
00:45:15,371 --> 00:45:17,743
Some people have not

676
00:45:19,042 --> 00:45:24,746
And they complain and complain
and complain and complain and complain

677
00:45:27,007 --> 00:45:29,413
Some people will work

678
00:45:31,260 --> 00:45:33,467
Some simply will not

679
00:45:34,722 --> 00:45:40,639
But they'll complain and complain
and complain and complain and complain

680
00:45:41,809 --> 00:45:42,842
Like this

681
00:45:43,020 --> 00:45:47,017
It's society's fault I don't have a job
It's society's fault I am a slob

682
00:45:47,190 --> 00:45:52,066
I've got potential no one can see
Give me welfare, let me be me...

683
00:45:52,236 --> 00:45:54,561
What's going on?

684
00:45:54,986 --> 00:45:58,688
Hey, bud
You're living in the land of the free

685
00:45:58,866 --> 00:46:04,951
No one's gonna hand you opportunity...

686
00:46:05,122 --> 00:46:08,738
Bob Roberts doesn't represent the common
man. He represents big business.

687
00:46:08,915 --> 00:46:12,500
- Contemptible yuppie scum.
- It's about his money.

688
00:46:12,669 --> 00:46:16,668
He talks about traditional American values,
as if he defined what they were,

689
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:21,751
as if traditional American values
meant greed, distrust and avarice.

690
00:46:21,927 --> 00:46:25,758
He passes the blame onto the silent,
who he knows will not respond.

691
00:46:25,931 --> 00:46:30,141
According to Bob Roberts,
the disenfranchised are the problem,

692
00:46:30,310 --> 00:46:33,760
like blaming the woman for the rape
or the dead for the murder.

693
00:46:33,937 --> 00:46:36,973
What I learned about
traditional American values

694
00:46:37,149 --> 00:46:42,937
was that they had something to do
with altruism, equality and kindness.

695
00:46:43,112 --> 00:46:47,987
Forget human rights, forget
women's rights, forget helping the homeless.

696
00:46:48,158 --> 00:46:49,699
All that's gonna go away.

697
00:46:49,866 --> 00:46:53,995
They'll take all the money everybody makes
and use it for their own benefit.

698
00:46:54,162 --> 00:46:56,450
Bob Roberts is not for the people.

699
00:46:56,622 --> 00:47:00,785
He's for himself and the people
who have made him powerful.

700
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,826
He reminds me of the roast beef
at the butcher's shop, up front,

701
00:47:05,005 --> 00:47:06,713
the good piece of meat.

702
00:47:06,881 --> 00:47:10,131
The powerful, whoever they are,
are bringing out this guy.

703
00:47:10,302 --> 00:47:13,883
But underneath that beef,
something smells, let me tell you.

704
00:47:16,139 --> 00:47:21,974
...but they'll complain and complain
and complain and complain and complain

705
00:47:23,855 --> 00:47:31,100
Yeah, they'll complain and complain
and complain and complain and complain

707
00:47:43,912 --> 00:47:45,372
You're commie liberals!

709
00:47:51,670 --> 00:47:53,746
screams]

710
00:47:56,632 --> 00:48:00,332
- Get away!
- What are you doing?!

711
00:48:00,511 --> 00:48:05,550
We are marching always forward

716
00:48:49,300 --> 00:48:55,386
- Wiedersehen, Peter.
- We're marching for the honest

717
00:48:56,306 --> 00:49:01,383
And silently, as one

718
00:49:01,562 --> 00:49:06,103
We march for brighter days

719
00:49:06,275 --> 00:49:11,434
- Days of profit proudly won...

720
00:49:11,821 --> 00:49:15,948
- We're marching on and on...
- Good evening. At the top of our news:

721
00:49:16,116 --> 00:49:20,444
Violence broke out during a Bob Roberts
concert at Penn State University.

722
00:49:20,619 --> 00:49:26,158
Sources say that 20 to 30 students began
verbally abusing the popular singer-candidate

723
00:49:26,331 --> 00:49:28,074
midway into the concert.

724
00:49:28,251 --> 00:49:31,750
As they were removed,
the protestors attacked security guards

725
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:33,545
and a m�l�e ensued.

726
00:49:33,714 --> 00:49:37,081
Sources close to the candidate
say that he is unharmed

727
00:49:37,258 --> 00:49:41,124
but upset at the preponderance
of radicals on campuses today

728
00:49:41,303 --> 00:49:43,591
The '60s are over, said Roberts.

729
00:49:43,764 --> 00:49:45,672
I couldn't agree more, Tawna.

730
00:49:45,849 --> 00:49:49,631
Polls indicate that Brickley Paiste
is running neck and neck

731
00:49:49,810 --> 00:49:53,060
in his race against
the folk-singing politician Bob Roberts.

732
00:49:53,229 --> 00:49:57,891
Paiste has been hurt recently by rumours
of an affair with a teenage campaign worker.

733
00:49:58,067 --> 00:50:02,360
Although he's denied the allegations,
Paiste has not recovered in the polls.

734
00:50:04,449 --> 00:50:09,607
We are marching for our children

735
00:50:09,786 --> 00:50:14,862
We are marching for the poor

736
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:20,543
We're marching for self-interest

737
00:50:20,712 --> 00:50:27,542
We'll march for ever more

738
00:50:34,347 --> 00:50:37,099
A bombshell dropped overnight, Chuck.

739
00:50:37,267 --> 00:50:42,308
The morning finds us with a story destined
to be troubling for the Bob Roberts campaign.

740
00:50:42,481 --> 00:50:47,021
From our sister station in Harrisburg,
correspondent Rock Bork.

741
00:50:47,191 --> 00:50:50,561
Behind me was once
the West Pennsylvania Savings and Loan

742
00:50:50,737 --> 00:50:53,274
which until last year was a viable thrift.

743
00:50:53,446 --> 00:50:55,984
Federal regulators closed the bank

744
00:50:56,158 --> 00:51:00,071
and began an investigation of improprieties
involving misuse of funds.

745
00:51:00,245 --> 00:51:04,870
Today comes information that Lukas Hart III,
Bob Roberts' campaign chairman,

746
00:51:05,039 --> 00:51:10,330
may be subpoenaed to tell the regulators
what he knows about Broken Dove

747
00:51:10,502 --> 00:51:12,460
and unpaid housing loans.

748
00:51:12,630 --> 00:51:17,920
Hello, reality check. Broken Dove ripping off
SandLs? Its altruism surpasses net worth.

749
00:51:18,092 --> 00:51:21,295
Broken Dove whose donations
to hospitals keep youngsters off drugs.

750
00:51:21,470 --> 00:51:24,140
- Accuse your enemy of your worst crime.
- Disinformation.

751
00:51:24,305 --> 00:51:26,678
- Credo hipocritus.
- Pot calling the kettle black.

752
00:51:26,851 --> 00:51:31,760
Terry, most political campaigns
would pale in comparison,

753
00:51:31,938 --> 00:51:34,095
but this one is a peach.

754
00:51:34,273 --> 00:51:38,104
- It's like a vicious, hard-fought game.

755
00:51:38,276 --> 00:51:42,189
Close to the final minute,
absolute chaos reigns

756
00:51:42,362 --> 00:51:46,941
and then one team explodes
right through the proverbial roof.

757
00:51:47,117 --> 00:51:50,070
The dust settles, the blood is flowing,
it's a massacre

758
00:51:50,244 --> 00:51:54,454
but one team is jumping up and down
with big, silly grins on their faces.

759
00:51:54,623 --> 00:51:57,623
That's gonna be us, Terry.
That's what it's all about, fun.

760
00:51:57,793 --> 00:52:00,793
There's nothing like the unbridled fun
of a hard-fought campaign.

761
00:52:00,962 --> 00:52:03,418
- He's down!
- Bob! Bob!

762
00:52:03,590 --> 00:52:06,258
- Stay down!
- My God! Bob!

764
00:52:10,053 --> 00:52:13,503
- Seal the wound!
- Call an ambulance!

765
00:52:16,767 --> 00:52:19,173
Get your goddamn hands off me, you fag!

766
00:52:19,353 --> 00:52:22,270
- Move it!
- Get the bike!

767
00:52:25,149 --> 00:52:27,023
Put your guns away!

768
00:52:28,984 --> 00:52:32,069
You get on the goddamn bus.
Security's falling apart.

769
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,314
Bush league, pal.

770
00:52:34,489 --> 00:52:38,569
- Get the goddamn camera out of here!
- Terry, ride behind in the van.

771
00:52:39,828 --> 00:52:43,528
We shall not
Not be moved

772
00:52:44,124 --> 00:52:48,036
We shall not
Not be moved

773
00:52:48,208 --> 00:52:51,744
Times are changin' back
Times are changin' back

774
00:52:51,921 --> 00:52:55,788
Times are changin' back today

775
00:52:56,591 --> 00:52:59,795
Deep in my heart I do believe

776
00:52:59,970 --> 00:53:02,047
Times are changin' back today

777
00:53:02,221 --> 00:53:04,927
Today, children, I am talking hypocrisy.

778
00:53:05,100 --> 00:53:08,466
We shall not be moved
We shall not be moved

779
00:53:09,978 --> 00:53:15,351
Hypocrisy that winds itself down every day
from Washington, DC.

780
00:53:17,235 --> 00:53:23,521
The hypocrisy of an organisation
that calls itself the US Congress.

781
00:53:23,699 --> 00:53:32,737
Times are changin' back today...

782
00:53:32,914 --> 00:53:38,371
The hypocrisy of an investigation
that seeks to implicate patriots,

783
00:53:38,543 --> 00:53:40,536
our dearest friends,

784
00:53:40,713 --> 00:53:44,840
in the constant struggle
to make this land a pure one again.

785
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,085
Times are changin'
Changin' back

786
00:53:49,261 --> 00:53:54,503
Whoa... yeah

787
00:53:54,807 --> 00:54:00,725
Lord, pave the way for a rebel's path
to Washington, DC.

788
00:54:00,897 --> 00:54:05,025
Make the road a smooth one for Bob Roberts.

789
00:54:05,192 --> 00:54:10,433
A man who can clean up the Devil's mess
in our capital.

790
00:54:10,612 --> 00:54:12,403
- Say amen.
- Amen.

791
00:54:12,572 --> 00:54:15,942
- Say amen.
- Amen!

792
00:54:16,119 --> 00:54:18,525
- Amen!
- Amen!

793
00:54:18,702 --> 00:54:22,617
Despite his efforts to rise above
what may or may not be the truth,

794
00:54:22,790 --> 00:54:26,204
trouble seems to be following
the Roberts campaign. Chuck?

795
00:54:26,376 --> 00:54:29,292
It seems more bad news
has come for Roberts.

796
00:54:29,462 --> 00:54:34,502
It was announced that Lukas Hart III,
Bob Roberts' friend and campaign chairman,

797
00:54:34,673 --> 00:54:37,164
was subpoenaed to appear
before the sub-committee

798
00:54:37,342 --> 00:54:40,713
investigating
the West Pennsylvania SandL scandal.

799
00:54:40,888 --> 00:54:45,299
Partisan manoeuvring. Unsubstantiated
innuendo. These allegations are hogwash.

800
00:54:45,474 --> 00:54:47,800
The timing is meant to hurt us

801
00:54:47,978 --> 00:54:52,935
but the voters will see straight through
this pathetic attempt to derail our campaign.

802
00:54:55,442 --> 00:54:58,811
The subpoena has come
as a shock to the campaign.

803
00:54:58,986 --> 00:55:01,358
Campaign staffers fear a slippage in the polls.

804
00:55:01,531 --> 00:55:06,107
Despite Hart's denials, this could spell trouble
for the Roberts campaign. Carol?

805
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,282
More news in a moment.

807
00:55:13,289 --> 00:55:19,623
The current senator of Pennsylvania believes
in giving free rides to welfare recipients.

808
00:55:19,795 --> 00:55:24,836
The current senator of Pennsylvania believes
in giving unqualified men and women jobs

809
00:55:25,009 --> 00:55:27,216
that could be yours.

810
00:55:27,385 --> 00:55:33,637
The current senator of Pennsylvania
voted to give himself a pay raise last year.

811
00:55:33,807 --> 00:55:35,006
Paiste.

812
00:55:35,184 --> 00:55:39,596
As he sleeps, we live his nightmare.

813
00:55:39,772 --> 00:55:42,476
Wake up. Vote Bob.

814
00:55:45,984 --> 00:55:50,443
One week before the election,
amidst controversy and declining polls,

815
00:55:50,614 --> 00:55:55,156
the Roberts campaign travels
from Pennsylvania to New York City.

816
00:55:57,326 --> 00:55:59,449
Can't touch this!

817
00:56:01,038 --> 00:56:03,363
Immigrants.

818
00:56:03,540 --> 00:56:09,244
Bob has been invited to perform
on the top-rated TV show Cutting Edge Live.

819
00:56:09,421 --> 00:56:14,793
The show reaches 20 million people
nationally, one million in Pennsylvania alone.

820
00:56:15,883 --> 00:56:17,509
We hope so.

821
00:56:18,846 --> 00:56:21,335
Not in a real interesting way.

822
00:56:21,513 --> 00:56:26,423
- More like in expense of the immigrants.
- Immigrants love the Kornhausers.

823
00:56:26,602 --> 00:56:29,601
- My grandfather's an immigrant.
- Excuse me.

824
00:56:29,771 --> 00:56:32,439
Bob, how are you? Nice to see you.

825
00:56:32,606 --> 00:56:35,440
- Good to see you, too.
- This is Polly Roberts.

826
00:56:35,608 --> 00:56:38,978
- I'm Michael James.
- It's such a pleasure for us to be here.

827
00:56:39,155 --> 00:56:44,065
I can't tell you what big flan... fans we are
of the show. I'm so nerous!

828
00:56:44,242 --> 00:56:49,069
- It's an honour to be here.
- It's an honour for me to be here.

829
00:56:49,246 --> 00:56:53,575
- Uh... this is my assistant Carol.
- Hello, Carol. My wife Polly.

830
00:56:53,751 --> 00:56:57,829
- Our guest host is...
- Working on his lines.

831
00:56:58,003 --> 00:57:02,082
- Immig... 
- I love the Kornhausers. It's my favourite.

832
00:57:02,256 --> 00:57:04,926
Can't touch this!

833
00:57:05,092 --> 00:57:09,670
Is the lobster family gonna be on?
Polly's favourite is the lobster family.

834
00:57:11,055 --> 00:57:14,673
- Sorry to interrupt. Just carry on.
- Bye-bye.

835
00:57:15,141 --> 00:57:16,719
See you, Bob.

836
00:57:16,894 --> 00:57:18,767
- Michael, Michael, Michael.
- Yes?

837
00:57:18,937 --> 00:57:21,144
- What's up with Bob Roberts?
- Musical guest.

838
00:57:21,313 --> 00:57:24,150
You said KRS-One
was gonna be the musical guest.

839
00:57:24,317 --> 00:57:27,650
- Right, and they're sick.
- Standards.

840
00:57:27,820 --> 00:57:29,777
- In LA.
- Standards.

841
00:57:29,945 --> 00:57:34,108
- They got sick in LA. They can't fly.
- It was definitely standards.

842
00:57:34,283 --> 00:57:39,409
- I think it's an ear thing and they can't fly.
- Standards.

843
00:57:39,579 --> 00:57:43,576
- In five, four, three, two...
- Am I in this one?

844
00:57:43,749 --> 00:57:48,494
Hi. Join us for Cutting Edge Live.
Watch me grovel before the video altar

845
00:57:48,671 --> 00:57:51,920
with a guest who I thought
was gonna be KRS-One.

846
00:57:52,089 --> 00:57:54,461
- Can't touch this.
- Stop saying that.

847
00:57:54,633 --> 00:57:58,501
- Good, I love it. How'd we do?
- That was good for time.

848
00:57:58,678 --> 00:58:01,300
- He didn't say...
- I'm not going to say that.

849
00:58:01,472 --> 00:58:05,635
Bob, if you strum a bit.
John, if you say the first part over again.

850
00:58:05,809 --> 00:58:09,510
- With the both of them?
- And they have to stand together.

851
00:58:09,689 --> 00:58:11,644
All right, here we go.

852
00:58:11,815 --> 00:58:16,393
- This is promo number two.
- Want me to say Can't touch this?

853
00:58:16,569 --> 00:58:19,688
In five, four, three, two...

854
00:58:24,284 --> 00:58:26,571
Hi. I'm sorry.

855
00:58:26,745 --> 00:58:28,453
I'm... leaving.

856
00:58:28,621 --> 00:58:34,291
Offhand, I would not say that being
a professional singer is the best background

857
00:58:34,460 --> 00:58:37,375
for a legislator of the United States.

858
00:58:37,545 --> 00:58:41,328
I believe in Mr Bob Roberts' background,

859
00:58:41,506 --> 00:58:46,926
if it is true that he has had
some experience with the CIA,

860
00:58:47,094 --> 00:58:50,678
then he comes better prepared
than most people do to the Senate

861
00:58:50,847 --> 00:58:55,058
with a knowledge of what the real government
of the United States is,

862
00:58:55,227 --> 00:58:57,349
which is the National Security Council.

863
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:00,603
It was created in 1950 by Harry Truman

864
00:59:00,773 --> 00:59:04,521
and the country is governed
by the National Security Council,

865
00:59:04,692 --> 00:59:07,184
which is the Defense Department, the CIA,

866
00:59:07,361 --> 00:59:12,781
in combination with the great makers
of weapons around the country.

867
00:59:12,950 --> 00:59:16,898
So he's already had some initiation
into true power.

868
00:59:17,078 --> 00:59:20,113
In the beginning, our great company
provided appliances.

869
00:59:20,289 --> 00:59:24,582
We heated your home, refrigerated your food,
improved the quality of your life.

870
00:59:24,750 --> 00:59:30,622
We prospered and grew into a multinational
corporation. We own this very network.

871
00:59:30,797 --> 00:59:33,467
- Don't Vote and a new song.
- Brand-new.

872
00:59:33,633 --> 00:59:39,006
Don't Smoke, that's what we agreed on.
Yeah, and Prevailing Tides. Michael?

873
00:59:39,180 --> 00:59:43,128
Our chief source of income, however,
is the arms industry.

874
00:59:43,307 --> 00:59:47,850
Yes, we rely heavily
on those fat government contracts

875
00:59:48,020 --> 00:59:51,388
to make these useless weapons
of mass destruction.

876
00:59:51,565 --> 00:59:55,183
Even though we have been convicted
for fraud several times,

877
00:59:55,360 --> 01:00:00,651
you don't hear too much about our bad side
because, well, we own our own news division.

878
01:00:00,823 --> 01:00:03,443
- Bob doesn't care what we agreed on.
- Really?

879
01:00:03,615 --> 01:00:07,484
He feels very strongly about the new material.

880
01:00:07,663 --> 01:00:11,364
He feels it should be said right now
and will not back down.

881
01:00:11,541 --> 01:00:15,040
Chances are slim that you'll hear
of our environmental mishaps

882
01:00:15,210 --> 01:00:17,747
or the way we bust those unions.

883
01:00:17,922 --> 01:00:20,543
We even have a highly rated show

884
01:00:20,714 --> 01:00:23,999
that the public buys as entertainment
with a leftist slant.

885
01:00:24,175 --> 01:00:30,010
I'm sorry, but we have a policy that no new
material is performed until it's proven to work.

886
01:00:30,182 --> 01:00:33,051
This is live television. This is not a party.

887
01:00:33,225 --> 01:00:35,763
- It doesn't work.
- It's not funny.

888
01:00:35,937 --> 01:00:40,313
It's self-hating.
It's shooting your paycheque in the foot.

889
01:00:40,481 --> 01:00:42,354
- It's not funny.
- I think it's funny.

890
01:00:42,525 --> 01:00:44,482
You don't have to work here next week.

891
01:00:44,651 --> 01:00:47,355
We want to change the world
but also keep our jobs.

892
01:00:47,530 --> 01:00:51,478
I personally find him repulsive.
I fought his appearance on this show.

893
01:00:51,657 --> 01:00:56,734
But the network has new owners and they like
Bob Roberts, a lot of things we don't like.

894
01:00:56,912 --> 01:01:01,204
They're the boss.
They can tell us Bob's on the show.

895
01:01:01,374 --> 01:01:06,665
You've got to be crazy if you think we're going
to let that fascist yuppie go on live television

896
01:01:06,836 --> 01:01:08,913
and sing whatever he wants to.

897
01:01:09,090 --> 01:01:11,248
Please calm down.

898
01:01:11,424 --> 01:01:12,883
Let me assure you,

899
01:01:13,051 --> 01:01:16,668
Bob says he'll walk off
if he is not allowed to express himself freely.

900
01:01:16,845 --> 01:01:18,126
Let him walk.

901
01:01:18,303 --> 01:01:21,507
We're gonna go to my office
and talk about this.

902
01:01:21,683 --> 01:01:24,885
Carol, have Bonnie place a call to Lukas Hart.

903
01:01:25,060 --> 01:01:27,597
How do I find him? What jail is he in?

904
01:01:27,772 --> 01:01:30,522
That was uncalled for!
- Excusez-moil

905
01:01:30,690 --> 01:01:32,932
- She is a loud, abrasive woman!
- Shove it!

906
01:01:33,110 --> 01:01:35,433
And she's rude!

907
01:01:35,611 --> 01:01:37,187
It is not funny!

908
01:01:37,404 --> 01:01:40,074
It's been a crazy week, full moon and all.

909
01:01:40,239 --> 01:01:43,691
We're an hour away from air
and I can't find the host.

910
01:01:43,868 --> 01:01:45,029
- Michael?
- Where is he?

911
01:01:45,202 --> 01:01:48,618
- I don't know.
- That's not an answer. Find him.

912
01:01:48,789 --> 01:01:51,030
- What are you guys watching?
- The news.

913
01:01:51,207 --> 01:01:53,080
- Real news?
- Michael!

914
01:01:53,250 --> 01:01:56,002
Excuse me, guys. Michael, it's taken care of.

915
01:01:56,170 --> 01:01:58,079
The occupying army...

916
01:01:58,256 --> 01:02:00,792
Network wants a copy of the lyrics.

917
01:02:00,966 --> 01:02:04,498
- Mr Hart's on his way down. We'll be OK.
... growing disenchantment...

918
01:02:08,973 --> 01:02:11,675
Can't touch this!

919
01:02:15,061 --> 01:02:20,185
And now, once again,
Pride recording label artist Bob Robertsl

921
01:02:28,573 --> 01:02:31,774
I was going to sing
a song called Don't Smoke.

922
01:02:31,950 --> 01:02:36,113
But in the spirit of live television,
I'd like to sing a song I just wrote,

923
01:02:36,287 --> 01:02:40,533
about courage and conviction
in these troubled times.

925
01:02:51,341 --> 01:02:52,584
Shit.

926
01:02:53,842 --> 01:02:57,792
There's a man for all seasons
There's a man with a plan

927
01:02:58,431 --> 01:03:02,842
Who has the courage
To take an honest stand...

928
01:03:05,688 --> 01:03:09,352
- What is going on?
- Calm down. Get the camera out.

929
01:03:09,523 --> 01:03:12,358
- Go to commercial.
- No.

930
01:03:13,151 --> 01:03:15,987
- You lied to me.
- The network wants it on.

931
01:03:16,155 --> 01:03:19,902
- You can't fucking do this.
- The network reviewed the material.

932
01:03:20,075 --> 01:03:25,233
How dare you? This is obscene. This is
a fucking commercial for a political candidate.

933
01:03:26,287 --> 01:03:31,411
You've got nothing left, Michael. You're
nothing but a fucking shell with goo inside.

934
01:03:31,584 --> 01:03:34,253
Are you having your period?

936
01:03:38,756 --> 01:03:42,623
Only one man understands
The American way

937
01:03:42,801 --> 01:03:44,081
Shit!

938
01:03:44,260 --> 01:03:48,471
America is a work of art

939
01:03:49,015 --> 01:03:55,099
- And I thank the Lord for America

940
01:03:55,895 --> 01:03:59,180
Retake America...

941
01:04:00,439 --> 01:04:02,729
Cocksucking Nazi. Fuck you.

943
01:04:09,031 --> 01:04:11,568
What happened?

944
01:04:18,163 --> 01:04:22,492
- What happened?
- You get out now. You are finished.

945
01:04:22,666 --> 01:04:24,626
- Boo-hoo!
- Get out now!

946
01:04:24,795 --> 01:04:27,462
- No problem!
- Move it!

947
01:04:27,630 --> 01:04:30,205
- Ready with the lobster sketch?
- Yes.

948
01:04:30,383 --> 01:04:35,588
I want to apologise, very humble apologies.
You're gonna be on this show again.

949
01:04:35,762 --> 01:04:40,175
Everybody, a nice round of applause
to Bob Roberts.

951
01:04:57,405 --> 01:04:58,686
Where's Polly?

952
01:04:58,864 --> 01:05:03,278
She stayed behind to watch the lobsters.
She'll join us at the hotel later.

953
01:05:03,454 --> 01:05:04,864
We're coming out.

955
01:05:17,714 --> 01:05:19,588
Mr Roberts!

956
01:05:21,259 --> 01:05:24,212
Did you read my article, Mr Roberts?

957
01:05:25,845 --> 01:05:27,339
- Go! Go!

959
01:05:31,141 --> 01:05:34,059
It's not me! It's not me!

960
01:05:34,853 --> 01:05:39,181
Call an ambulance! Call an ambulance! Bob!

961
01:05:39,357 --> 01:05:41,432
Somebody call an ambulance!

962
01:05:41,608 --> 01:05:45,688
We can't wait for the ambulance.
Let's just get him in the car.

964
01:06:07,381 --> 01:06:10,215
Get the door! Get the door!

965
01:06:11,717 --> 01:06:13,543
Clear the door!

966
01:06:15,262 --> 01:06:18,630
- Hang on!
- Watch the steps!

967
01:06:19,307 --> 01:06:23,386
- Watch his head!
- Easy! Easy, easy, easy!

968
01:06:26,646 --> 01:06:28,390
Nigel, hurry up.

969
01:06:30,858 --> 01:06:32,731
Watch his head, Bart.

970
01:06:32,902 --> 01:06:37,231
- Move, move, move!

971
01:06:41,993 --> 01:06:45,694
I was waiting for Bob and then - gunshots.
Seven or eight of them.

972
01:06:45,872 --> 01:06:47,580
I jumped to protect him.

973
01:06:47,749 --> 01:06:52,042
Then I saw seven or eight Arabs. I disarmed
the main guy, knocked him unconscious...

974
01:06:52,210 --> 01:06:53,954
- Terry Manchester?
- Who wants to know?

975
01:06:54,128 --> 01:06:57,663
Don't get smart with me.
You Terry Manchester?

976
01:06:57,839 --> 01:06:59,879
You were filming during the shooting.

977
01:07:00,052 --> 01:07:03,500
We want to see the footage.
It might provide us with evidence.

978
01:07:03,677 --> 01:07:04,960
I'll get it.

979
01:07:05,138 --> 01:07:10,476
I hope he dies. I swear to God,
I'm gonna fucking find that guy.

980
01:07:12,395 --> 01:07:16,604
Please, Jesus, please, Jesus.
Save Bob, save Bob...

981
01:07:16,772 --> 01:07:22,811
At 12.17 am this morning, Pennsylvania
senatorial candidate Bob Roberts was shot

982
01:07:22,986 --> 01:07:27,114
as he was leaving
the Cutting Edge Live television show.

983
01:07:27,281 --> 01:07:32,024
He was shot twice at close range
with a. 22-calibre pistol.

984
01:07:32,201 --> 01:07:35,570
- His condition has been listed as critical.
- Is there a suspect?

985
01:07:35,746 --> 01:07:38,830
Yes, we have a suspect in custody
under interrogation.

986
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:43,043
- Who is it?
- I cannot reveal that information at this time.

987
01:07:43,500 --> 01:07:47,745
Theirs is a fool's game and those that play

988
01:07:47,922 --> 01:07:53,704
Will find their hands tied
And their hearts dry

989
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:58,174
Prevailing tides will drown you

990
01:07:58,340 --> 01:08:03,462
Unless you learn to swim against them

991
01:08:03,635 --> 01:08:07,927
He's in serious condition, Jack,
and they don't know if he'll live or not.

992
01:08:08,093 --> 01:08:12,635
Minutes ago, we learned the name of
the suspect from Frank Ryan of the NYPD.

993
01:08:12,806 --> 01:08:17,345
His name is John Alijah Raplin,
nickname Bugs.

994
01:08:17,516 --> 01:08:20,763
He's an ethnic male,
approximately 35 years old.

995
01:08:20,936 --> 01:08:23,932
Not much else is known about him at present.

996
01:08:24,103 --> 01:08:29,011
They'll be moving him shortly from
the 33rd Precinct for further questioning.

997
01:08:29,185 --> 01:08:33,267
This is Ernesto Galiano reporting live
from Mid-Manhattan Presbyterian Hospital.

998
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,393
- Where's the 33rd Precinct?
- Sh...!

999
01:08:36,565 --> 01:08:38,770
Alijah. He's an Arab.

1001
01:08:44,445 --> 01:08:47,065
- Let's go!
- Come on!

1002
01:08:47,237 --> 01:08:49,644
Come on, let's go!

1003
01:08:52,865 --> 01:08:57,076
- Come on!
- We're getting the assassin! Let's go!

1004
01:09:01,286 --> 01:09:03,611
What's going on? Come on.

1006
01:09:11,209 --> 01:09:13,578
Stop it.

1007
01:09:16,796 --> 01:09:19,794
- Are you all right?
- Get off of me!

1008
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:23,328
- Fuck you, man!
- Did you get that?

1010
01:09:49,559 --> 01:09:53,506
- We shall not be moved

1011
01:09:53,687 --> 01:09:56,935
We shall not be moved

1012
01:09:57,103 --> 01:10:03,769
We shall not be moved today

1013
01:10:03,939 --> 01:10:09,180
Our minds are quick
And our hearts are smooth

1014
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:15,358
We shall not be moved today

1015
01:10:17,114 --> 01:10:20,233
Times are changing back

1016
01:10:20,406 --> 01:10:22,814
Times are changing back...

1017
01:10:23,821 --> 01:10:27,404
I'm evil. I killed him. It was my fault.

1018
01:10:27,576 --> 01:10:29,734
I'm bad luck.

1019
01:10:29,910 --> 01:10:32,946
He said I could. He said I could kiss him.

1020
01:10:33,118 --> 01:10:37,412
- Who said you could?
- One of the Bob men.

1021
01:10:37,580 --> 01:10:41,909
The men with black strings in their ears.
He said, You can kiss Bob. 

1022
01:10:42,082 --> 01:10:47,157
He said, "Bob wants you to give him a kiss.
I kissed him and he was shot.

1023
01:10:47,335 --> 01:10:49,909
- I just came for some air.
- How's Bob?

1024
01:10:50,086 --> 01:10:52,922
He's going to live. Thank God.

1025
01:10:54,546 --> 01:10:58,838
He probably won't walk... for a while.

1026
01:10:59,006 --> 01:11:02,126
But he's gonna live and that's what counts.

1027
01:11:02,302 --> 01:11:05,882
You've had a very rough evening.
I'm sorry we had to bother you.

1028
01:11:06,051 --> 01:11:07,545
That's OK.

1029
01:11:07,721 --> 01:11:09,626
Just... No mind.

1030
01:11:09,805 --> 01:11:12,838
Um... I'm... I'm gonna go back up.

1031
01:11:13,014 --> 01:11:19,214
We have a doctor who can shed light on Mr
Roberts' medical condition. Dr Caleb Menck.

1032
01:11:19,391 --> 01:11:21,548
I'm Bob Roberts' personal physician.

1033
01:11:21,729 --> 01:11:25,555
I flew out from Philadelphia
the moment I learned of the shooting.

1034
01:11:25,728 --> 01:11:28,053
Mr Roberts' condition is critical.

1035
01:11:28,229 --> 01:11:31,014
One of the bullets, regrettably,

1036
01:11:31,188 --> 01:11:34,972
entered the spinal column at the L-5 vertebra.

1037
01:11:35,566 --> 01:11:38,187
Paralysis has incurred in both of his legs.

1038
01:11:38,361 --> 01:11:40,016
Mike, right here.

1039
01:11:40,192 --> 01:11:44,937
Is there any truth to the rumour
that the assassination attempt was filmed?

1040
01:11:45,111 --> 01:11:49,652
Yes, there was a documentary film-maker
present at the scene of the crime

1041
01:11:49,822 --> 01:11:53,023
and we are now in possession of that film.

1042
01:11:54,073 --> 01:11:56,529
Does the film identify the assassin?

1043
01:11:56,700 --> 01:11:59,449
I have no answer for that question at this time.

1044
01:11:59,620 --> 01:12:03,993
The film is being analysed.
We will inform you as soon as we know.

1045
01:12:04,164 --> 01:12:08,986
It was Raplin. I was standing
right behind him. I saw him shoot Bob.

1046
01:12:09,165 --> 01:12:12,909
The fact that men like Raplin exist
shows what you get with a liberal agenda.

1047
01:12:13,083 --> 01:12:17,210
You pump people full of drugs
and they come gunning for people like Bob.

1048
01:12:17,377 --> 01:12:23,375
But they don't realise you can't kill the truth.
Bob Roberts won't be stopped by any bullet.

1049
01:12:23,545 --> 01:12:27,624
He'll be back and you'd better watch out.
He's headed straight for Washington.

1050
01:12:27,797 --> 01:12:32,124
That's all I've got to say.
Excuse me. I have to go pray.

1052
01:12:37,593 --> 01:12:41,506
The film offers no concrete evidence
of any kind regarding my client.

1053
01:12:41,679 --> 01:12:44,882
Mr Raplin asserts that the gun
was placed on him at the scene,

1054
01:12:45,054 --> 01:12:46,518
that he was set up.

1055
01:12:46,678 --> 01:12:50,261
- Who did it if not Raplin?
- That's for the police to find out.

1056
01:12:50,435 --> 01:12:51,714
I'm just representing the accused.

1057
01:12:51,894 --> 01:12:56,634
Is it true that the assassin was a card-carrying
member of the American Civil Liberties Union?

1058
01:12:56,812 --> 01:13:00,558
- I do not know. If he was, so what?
- Will Raplin be released?

1059
01:13:00,730 --> 01:13:05,555
No. There are witnesses who say he pulled
the trigger. He's being held without bail.

1060
01:13:05,733 --> 01:13:08,018
That's all for now. Thank you.

1061
01:13:08,193 --> 01:13:12,565
 After the attack on Bob's life,
the media outcry is unprecedented.

1062
01:13:12,735 --> 01:13:15,272
His face echoes across
the American landscape,

1063
01:13:15,444 --> 01:13:20,354
on the covers of magazines,
in newspapers and on TV news broadcasts.

1064
01:13:20,531 --> 01:13:25,735
Roberts is proclaimed an American hero,
a martyr of the new right,

1065
01:13:25,907 --> 01:13:29,570
a crippled prophet for the future.

1066
01:13:29,742 --> 01:13:31,199
We want Bob!

1067
01:13:31,371 --> 01:13:34,452
 A week after the shooting,
Bob is to be released

1068
01:13:34,618 --> 01:13:38,947
and transported to Pennsylvania by
Medevac helicopter in time for the election.

1069
01:13:39,119 --> 01:13:41,530
He's coming from the back.

1070
01:13:41,708 --> 01:13:42,737
Let's go!

1071
01:13:42,915 --> 01:13:45,486
 We want Bob!

1073
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:56,453
What are the possibilities
of complete recovery?

1074
01:13:56,631 --> 01:14:01,123
 Like I said, it's up to the individual.
After surgery and rehabilitation,

1075
01:14:01,298 --> 01:14:05,876
he could move his toes in a couple of years
and walk a few years later.

1076
01:14:06,052 --> 01:14:07,295
To tell you the truth,

1077
01:14:07,467 --> 01:14:10,880
it would be a miracle if he ever walks again.

1078
01:14:11,054 --> 01:14:12,760
As you've been denied access to him,

1079
01:14:12,927 --> 01:14:16,297
Mr Raplin has asked me
to convey his feelings to you.

1080
01:14:16,473 --> 01:14:18,926
First, he asserts his absolute innocence.

1081
01:14:19,099 --> 01:14:24,337
Due to a restrictive palsy in his right hand,
he would never have been able to fire the gun.

1082
01:14:24,519 --> 01:14:30,021
Second, he would like to express his beliefs
that Bob Roberts is involved in dirty dealings

1083
01:14:30,186 --> 01:14:33,685
involving guns, drugs and savings and loans.

1084
01:14:33,855 --> 01:14:36,605
And lastly and most importantly,

1085
01:14:36,776 --> 01:14:40,306
he would like to say
that as a witness to this incident,

1086
01:14:40,481 --> 01:14:44,313
he saw the gun fired twice into the ground,
not at Bob Roberts.

1087
01:14:44,485 --> 01:14:46,688
What?

1088
01:14:46,859 --> 01:14:49,776
Mr Raplin contends that Bob Roberts
was not shot.

1090
01:14:55,198 --> 01:14:57,654
It's not me! It's not me!

1091
01:14:58,284 --> 01:15:02,490
Charges were dropped today
for lack of evidence against Lukas Hart III

1092
01:15:02,663 --> 01:15:06,325
in the investigation of the West Pennsylvania
Savings and Loan scandal.

1093
01:15:06,498 --> 01:15:09,163
The case, in which there was
new evidence last month,

1094
01:15:09,328 --> 01:15:14,621
was said by the committee chairman to be
utter contrivance and ludicrous fantasy

1095
01:15:14,790 --> 01:15:17,577
Meanwhile, tensions mount in the Mid-East

1096
01:15:17,753 --> 01:15:21,747
Intelligence suggests that Iraq
is close to developing a nuclear bomb

1097
01:15:21,919 --> 01:15:25,866
and that Saddam Hussein
could have a nuclear device within months.

1098
01:15:26,962 --> 01:15:30,912
 On Election Day, his new album,
entitled Bob On Bob, is released

1099
01:15:31,090 --> 01:15:34,504
and debuts with a bullet
at number two on the charts.

1100
01:15:34,679 --> 01:15:39,715
His video and single I Want To Live
go to number one.

1102
01:15:54,642 --> 01:15:59,599
Paiste leads in Franklin County, but Bedford
and Somerset give the edge to Bob Roberts.

1103
01:15:59,771 --> 01:16:05,688
In the northwest, Erie is leaning towards
Paiste but Roberts is strong in Crawford.

1104
01:16:05,857 --> 01:16:10,397
In Allegheny, Cambria and Westmoreland,
it's too close to call.

1105
01:16:10,568 --> 01:16:14,513
The Roberts campaign is depending
on a late return to tip the balance.

1106
01:16:14,695 --> 01:16:18,562
That's the news.
Now, more music with Tim Freeman.

1107
01:16:36,287 --> 01:16:40,830
I want to live

1108
01:16:40,997 --> 01:16:44,697
Chances are I will

1109
01:16:45,873 --> 01:16:50,084
In the hearts and minds

1110
01:16:50,711 --> 01:16:53,579
Of those that care

1111
01:16:55,589 --> 01:17:01,623
Of those that hold their banner high

1112
01:17:02,841 --> 01:17:06,338
Of those with pride

1113
01:17:07,466 --> 01:17:11,047
I want to live

1114
01:17:12,222 --> 01:17:16,086
Beyond my years

1115
01:17:17,138 --> 01:17:22,096
In Elysian fields

1116
01:17:22,264 --> 01:17:27,139
Where poets wrestle with injustice

1117
01:17:27,310 --> 01:17:31,518
Where my heart could rest

1118
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:36,768
Where my words would never die

1119
01:17:40,440 --> 01:17:44,934
Take me to the heart of this beautiful land

1120
01:17:45,110 --> 01:17:49,771
And walk with me down its fine white roads

1121
01:17:49,946 --> 01:17:54,654
Of justice and supremacy

1122
01:17:54,824 --> 01:18:01,273
Of roads built by you and me

1123
01:18:05,786 --> 01:18:09,283
Mm mm

1124
01:18:10,497 --> 01:18:14,408
Mm mm

1125
01:18:15,332 --> 01:18:18,912
Mm mm

1126
01:18:21,293 --> 01:18:24,742
Ooh

1127
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:29,296
Ooh ooh

1128
01:18:31,133 --> 01:18:34,665
Ooh

1129
01:18:34,838 --> 01:18:39,418
Ooh ooh

1130
01:18:41,134 --> 01:18:44,584
It's as if he knew what was
going to happen to him.

1131
01:18:44,762 --> 01:18:47,763
We have to use the word "prophestic.

1132
01:18:48,140 --> 01:18:53,130
- This is Tack Manners, APWNews.

1133
01:18:53,306 --> 01:18:56,925
Pennsylvania voters
have been turning out in record numbers

1134
01:18:57,101 --> 01:19:01,227
to vote in a senatorial race
that has been full of controversy and drama.

1135
01:19:01,395 --> 01:19:05,521
Brickley Paiste and Bob Roberts
have been running neck and neck

1136
01:19:05,689 --> 01:19:09,101
but APWNews has learned
that a winner has been declared.

1137
01:19:09,271 --> 01:19:13,316
With 98% of precincts reporting,
Brickley Paiste shows 48

1138
01:19:13,482 --> 01:19:15,562
and Bob Roberts 52

1140
01:19:20,404 --> 01:19:24,398
Bob! Bob! Bob!

1143
01:19:54,584 --> 01:19:57,669
Thanks are due a lot of people.

1144
01:19:58,714 --> 01:20:03,503
But I would like to take a moment
out of this festive celebration

1145
01:20:03,675 --> 01:20:08,582
to remember a good friend of ours
who lies at home tonight.

1146
01:20:08,759 --> 01:20:12,755
A man who was shot
for having the courage to take a stand.

1147
01:20:13,512 --> 01:20:17,209
A young man who speaks his mind
for a better America.

1148
01:20:19,221 --> 01:20:20,966
Let's all bow our heads

1149
01:20:21,138 --> 01:20:26,344
and pray for the safe recovery
of Senator Bob Roberts.

1150
01:20:34,313 --> 01:20:36,980
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

1151
01:20:37,150 --> 01:20:39,683
Thank you, Lukas.

1152
01:20:39,857 --> 01:20:42,854
I am truly honoured to be selected

1153
01:20:43,024 --> 01:20:47,352
as the next senator
of the great state of Pennsylvania.

1154
01:20:47,526 --> 01:20:52,187
I hereby humbly vow
to serve you, the people,

1155
01:20:52,364 --> 01:20:56,902
to the best of my ability,
as long as God will allow.

1156
01:20:57,948 --> 01:21:02,158
Polly and I thank God and thank you

1157
01:21:02,327 --> 01:21:04,564
for this wonderful opportunity.

1158
01:21:06,993 --> 01:21:09,281
We won't let you down.

1160
01:21:15,956 --> 01:21:19,074
Bob! Bob! Bob!

1161
01:21:22,837 --> 01:21:27,375
It's almost exactly 30 years
since I came to the Senate.

1162
01:21:27,544 --> 01:21:32,255
It was 1960.
Jack Kennedy had been elected President.

1163
01:21:32,424 --> 01:21:35,295
We're going to get America moving again. 

1164
01:21:35,466 --> 01:21:38,002
There was going to be a new frontier.

1165
01:21:38,174 --> 01:21:41,339
And the world was going to be a better place.

1166
01:21:41,511 --> 01:21:45,633
Well, the new frontier
turned out to be Vietnam

1167
01:21:45,805 --> 01:21:49,138
and we sort of fell off the edge.

1168
01:21:54,138 --> 01:21:59,380
With the agreement yesterday of the five
permanent Security Council members,

1169
01:21:59,559 --> 01:22:03,806
the coalition the US has mustered
against Iraqi president Saddam Hussein

1170
01:22:03,980 --> 01:22:08,273
has crossed a crucial threshold,
authorising the use of military force.

1171
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:12,648
The United States has won the backing of
the Soviet Union, China, Britain and France

1172
01:22:12,815 --> 01:22:17,061
for a UN resolution threatening
to use all necessary means

1173
01:22:17,237 --> 01:22:21,610
to drive Iraq from Kuwait
if it does not leave by January 15th.

1174
01:22:21,780 --> 01:22:25,940
 Six weeks after the shooting,
we receive a call from Chet MacGregor.

1175
01:22:26,116 --> 01:22:30,856
Bob wants to see our footage of the tragic
incident at the Cutting Edge Live show.

1176
01:22:31,032 --> 01:22:35,739
We have transferred the film to videotape
and are just arriving at Fair Acres,

1177
01:22:35,911 --> 01:22:40,569
Bob's palatial estate at Bryn Mawr
in suburban Pennsylvania.

1178
01:22:40,745 --> 01:22:44,691
The glory of His righteousness

1179
01:22:44,873 --> 01:22:48,817
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love

1180
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:53,491
And wonders, wonders of His love

1181
01:22:50,013 --> 01:22:55,430
This is precious. Bob, sweetie, look at this.
It's from a little girl in Stowe, Vermont.

1182
01:22:55,599 --> 01:23:00,011
Dear Bob, even though it's not
Valentine's Day, will you be mine?

1183
01:23:00,185 --> 01:23:05,309
- Signed, Amy Biddle Richman, aged seven. 
- Oh, that's sweet. Look at that.

1184
01:23:07,606 --> 01:23:09,432
Why don't we send a letter back to her?

1185
01:23:09,608 --> 01:23:14,066
Dear Amy, your Valentine has made
this difficult transition much easier.

1186
01:23:14,233 --> 01:23:17,269
Be good and don't do crack.
It's a ghetto drug. 

1187
01:23:17,445 --> 01:23:19,319
Straight up, Bob.

1188
01:23:19,489 --> 01:23:22,571
To Amy. And all the future soldiers
throughout the land.

1189
01:23:22,738 --> 01:23:24,777
Hear, hear.

1190
01:23:24,487 --> 01:23:29,988
Make America great for Christian people.
God bless, Doreen Graff, Millersville. 

1191
01:23:30,158 --> 01:23:34,236
Somebody got off an early Christmas card.
Merry Christmas. 

1192
01:23:34,412 --> 01:23:39,614
Where the body is, there will the vultures
be gathered. Love, Billy LaRay. 

1193
01:23:39,786 --> 01:23:42,704
Here's one from the board of directors
at Interunys.

1194
01:23:42,873 --> 01:23:46,158
We send our support.
Best wishes for a complete recovery.

1195

Interunys is a Fortune 500 company,

1196

specialising in waste management
and genetic engineering. 

1197
01:23:51,422 --> 01:23:56,045
Our philosophy is much in tune with yours.
We play This Land... 

1198
01:23:56,215 --> 01:24:00,509
- There it is. The gun, right there.
- Yeah.

1199
01:24:02,596 --> 01:24:07,383
We play This Land as an anthem before
our board meetings. God bless you, Bob. 

1200
01:24:07,632 --> 01:24:13,051
May he rot in hell.
May God's vengeful sword carry that...

1201
01:24:13,217 --> 01:24:17,165
...terrible man that shot you's heart
to the pit of hell for eternity.

PS. Don't... Do more songs like Don't Vote. 

1204
01:24:30,187 --> 01:24:32,593
Well, I'm going.

1205
01:24:32,774 --> 01:24:34,682
Goodbye, all.

1206
01:24:34,856 --> 01:24:38,604
Dolores, maybe you better lie down for a while.

1207
01:24:38,774 --> 01:24:41,644
- Dolores.
- Something wrong?

1208
01:24:41,820 --> 01:24:45,864
She's been working very hard.
I think she's had a bit of the bubbly.

1209
01:24:46,032 --> 01:24:48,190
She could never say no to the P�rignon.

1210
01:24:55,536 --> 01:24:58,075
You better watch yourself, my friend!

1211
01:24:58,246 --> 01:25:01,826
I've got my eye on you, my friend!
You're dead!

1212
01:25:05,917 --> 01:25:09,916
It appears that the gun was placed
on my client's person

1213
01:25:10,087 --> 01:25:13,171
- by a third party at the time of the shooting.
- How do you know?

1214
01:25:13,341 --> 01:25:17,006
Fingerprints indicate that the gun
was fired by Mr Raplin's right hand.

1215
01:25:17,177 --> 01:25:21,086
He cannot pick up a fork, let alone fire a gun.

1216
01:25:21,261 --> 01:25:25,472
He has constrictive palsy,
which cripples motor functions in that limb.

1217
01:25:25,639 --> 01:25:28,389
There were no powder burns on his clothing.

1218
01:25:28,556 --> 01:25:31,722
- Why was he held in custody?
- You tell me.

1219
01:25:31,896 --> 01:25:34,678
Dolores? Dolores?

1220
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:39,180
Dolores?

1221
01:25:39,355 --> 01:25:41,975
- I can't talk to you.
- Have you left Bob?

1222
01:25:42,150 --> 01:25:44,818
- Are you no longer working for him?
- That is correct.

1223
01:25:44,985 --> 01:25:48,814
- What happened?
- A mutual decision. I felt it was time to go.

1224
01:25:48,989 --> 01:25:51,143
- I don't believe you.
- Sorry about that.

1225
01:25:51,321 --> 01:25:56,905
Raplin's been released. He couldn't have fired
the gun. Is there something we should know?

1226
01:25:58,283 --> 01:26:04,403
You see, the truth of this is that American
taxpayers have been paying for covert war.

1227
01:26:04,580 --> 01:26:08,992
Illegal covert war waged in countries
we haven't even heard of.

1228
01:26:09,164 --> 01:26:11,739
Central America, thousands have died.

1229
01:26:11,918 --> 01:26:15,120
Chile, Indonesia, Africa.

1230
01:26:15,295 --> 01:26:19,957
Until now, Americans paid for these wars
every time they did cocaine or crack or heroin

1231
01:26:20,131 --> 01:26:26,300
or any other illegal drug smuggled in
by these self-proclaimed patriots.

1232
01:26:26,466 --> 01:26:32,171
Now we have a situation where all Americans
will soon pay for these smugglings of drugs

1233
01:26:32,347 --> 01:26:35,882
in the form of taxes
to bail out failed savings and loans.

1234
01:26:36,059 --> 01:26:38,547
Savings and loans
that misused people's funds

1235
01:26:38,726 --> 01:26:42,508
and provided money
to illegal covert drug smuggling operations.

1236
01:26:42,688 --> 01:26:44,393
And surprise.

1237
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:48,771
We find ourselves with a seemingly
insurmountable drug problem.

1238

<i>[Airport tannoy announcement]</i>

1239
01:26:55,236 --> 01:26:59,234
- How do you feel, Bob?
- Great. There's a new day dawning.

1240
01:26:59,404 --> 01:27:01,692
What about the release of Alijah Raplin?

1241
01:27:01,864 --> 01:27:05,613
It's obvious that the legal system
is too lenient on criminals.

1242
01:27:05,783 --> 01:27:09,199
I will see to it that this leniency
ends in our lifetime

1243
01:27:09,370 --> 01:27:11,657
and criminals like Raplin get their just due.

1244
01:27:11,831 --> 01:27:14,865
- Have you been to Washington before?
- Yes. This time is special.

1245
01:27:15,041 --> 01:27:19,787
It's a new town now
because Bob Roberts is here to stay.

1246
01:27:25,918 --> 01:27:30,380
[Bugs] Iran-Contra happened because no one
did anything substantial about Watergate.

1247
01:27:30,550 --> 01:27:34,842
And Watergate happened because there
were no consequences from the Bay of Pigs.

1248
01:27:35,011 --> 01:27:36,718
They're all the same operatives.

1249
01:27:36,887 --> 01:27:39,922
The soldiers in the Bay of Pigs,
the plumbers busted at Watergate,

1250
01:27:40,099 --> 01:27:43,547
the gun-runners in Iran-Contra,
all the same people.

1251
01:27:43,724 --> 01:27:46,011
It's easy to figure out the connection -

1252
01:27:46,185 --> 01:27:50,309
a secret government beyond the control
of the people and accountable to no one.

1253
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:55,684
The closer we are to finding the connection,
the more Congress turns a blind eye to it.

1254
01:27:55,858 --> 01:27:59,984
We can't talk about that in open session,
they say. National security.

1255
01:28:00,148 --> 01:28:05,308
The truth lies dormant and they stay blind
out of choice. A conspiracy of silence.

1256
01:28:05,485 --> 01:28:10,397
I think the entire Congress is quite aware
of the National Security Council

1257
01:28:10,575 --> 01:28:15,862
and its powers and its functions and the fact
that this is a national security state

1258
01:28:16,035 --> 01:28:19,201
and less and less of a representative one.

1259
01:28:19,371 --> 01:28:25,411
It's... You know the story of the frog
in the... in the pan of cold water?

1260
01:28:25,584 --> 01:28:30,575
If you throw a frog into hot water,
it'll jump around and suffer greatly and die.

1261
01:28:30,753 --> 01:28:35,460
If you put the frog in a pan of cold water
and put that on the stove

1262
01:28:35,631 --> 01:28:40,921
and you heat it to the boiling point,
the frog doesn't stir, he doesn't feel it.

1263
01:28:41,093 --> 01:28:43,331
And at the end of it, he's dead.

1264
01:28:43,512 --> 01:28:46,426
These things happen incrementally,
they're gradual.

1265
01:28:46,595 --> 01:28:50,509
Are we complicit? Yes, we are.
Are we revolutionaries?

1266
01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:52,473
How do you do it once you're here?

1267
01:28:52,642 --> 01:28:57,682
There are no Mr Smiths in Washington.
Mr Smith has been bought.

1268
01:28:59,731 --> 01:29:02,268
Just a bunch of deal-makers.

1269
01:29:02,440 --> 01:29:06,815
No visionaries. No one really concerned
with the disenfranchised.

1270
01:29:06,983 --> 01:29:11,562
Just a secret state of business liaisons
so out of control

1271
01:29:11,737 --> 01:29:16,811
that they're willing to send American soldiers
to war to protect their business interests.

1272
01:29:25,911 --> 01:29:30,288
Walls may come down but what is let in

1273
01:29:30,458 --> 01:29:34,868
Godless men, godless men

1274
01:29:35,042 --> 01:29:39,169
They'll take the jobs of the decent ones

1275
01:29:39,338 --> 01:29:44,957
And wait for the day that their leaders

1276
01:29:45,135 --> 01:29:49,793
Will make you their slaves

1277
01:29:51,011 --> 01:29:55,467
This world turns its back on God

1278
01:29:55,639 --> 01:29:59,257
We must fight to protect Him

1279
01:30:00,182 --> 01:30:04,678
This world turns its back on God

1280
01:30:04,855 --> 01:30:09,015
We must die to join Him

1281
01:30:09,189 --> 01:30:13,898
The desert teems with dangerous schemes

1282
01:30:14,069 --> 01:30:18,479
Godless men, godless men

1283
01:30:18,653 --> 01:30:22,732
They take the innocent
And stroke their face

1284
01:30:22,906 --> 01:30:26,903
And wait for the day that their oil

1285
01:30:28,617 --> 01:30:33,278
Will make you their slaves

1286
01:30:34,540 --> 01:30:38,948
This world turns its back on God

1287
01:30:39,124 --> 01:30:42,623
We must fight to protect Him

1288
01:30:43,670 --> 01:30:48,165
This world turns its back on God

1289
01:30:48,339 --> 01:30:52,383
We must die to join Him

1290
01:30:52,550 --> 01:30:54,707
Meet fury with fury

1291
01:30:54,884 --> 01:30:57,377
<i>Belief with belief

1292
01:30:57,553 --> 01:31:01,634
God against the Devil
An eternal fight

1293
01:31:01,807 --> 01:31:04,047
March on, march on

1294
01:31:04,225 --> 01:31:06,262
Brave young men

1295
01:31:06,430 --> 01:31:11,557
Our prayers go with you

1296
01:31:11,726 --> 01:31:15,971
To the holy land

1297
01:31:18,066 --> 01:31:22,392
This world turns its back on God

1298
01:31:22,568 --> 01:31:26,894
We must fight to protect Him

1299
01:31:27,072 --> 01:31:31,362
This world turns its back on God

1300
01:31:31,533 --> 01:31:36,191
We must die to join Him

1301
01:31:36,369 --> 01:31:40,496
This world turns its back on God

1302
01:31:40,660 --> 01:31:45,204
We must fight to protect Him

1303
01:31:45,376 --> 01:31:49,833
This world turns its back on God

1304
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:54,913
We must kill to join Him

1306
01:32:09,808 --> 01:32:12,426
 No poll will tell you the truth.

1307
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:15,467
The corporations that own the networks,

1308
01:32:15,643 --> 01:32:19,934
major newspapers,
It's not in their interest to tell you the truth.

1309
01:32:20,103 --> 01:32:21,727
It's too dangerous to them.

1310
01:32:21,896 --> 01:32:25,727
If you want the truth in this country...

1311
01:32:26,899 --> 01:32:29,057
...you have to seek it out.

1312
01:32:30,066 --> 01:32:32,306
You must be vigilant...

1313
01:32:32,486 --> 01:32:34,065
...unrelenting...

1314
01:32:34,237 --> 01:32:36,394
...uncompromising.

1315
01:32:39,199 --> 01:32:41,524
I will get Bob Roberts.

1316
01:32:43,284 --> 01:32:45,654
I don't need a gun to do it.

1317
01:32:48,287 --> 01:32:53,281
Then I found him. Scooped up Calvin,
he had all the candles ready.

1318
01:32:53,457 --> 01:32:55,616
I was the first one to find out, though.

1319
01:32:55,792 --> 01:33:00,619
He's in that room up there.
I saw him in the wheelchair earlier.

1320
01:33:00,795 --> 01:33:04,579
He waved... I couldn't believe it...
I think he recognised me.

1321
01:33:04,755 --> 01:33:06,296
 Which room?

1322
01:33:06,466 --> 01:33:08,622
Three up, seven to the left.

1323
01:33:08,801 --> 01:33:12,049
The curtain's closed now. It was open before.

1324
01:33:12,221 --> 01:33:14,923
So how's the documentary going?

1325
01:33:15,093 --> 01:33:18,299
Well, I'm learning a great deal
about Bob Roberts.

1326
01:33:18,475 --> 01:33:23,216
You're lucky to be spending so much time
with Bob Roberts.

1327
01:33:23,393 --> 01:33:25,182
I don't know if I'm lucky.

1328
01:33:25,354 --> 01:33:27,390
What do you mean?

1329
01:33:27,559 --> 01:33:30,181
I don't know if I really like him.

1330
01:33:30,355 --> 01:33:34,519
I don't know if he's healthy for your country.
Why do you like him?

1331
01:33:34,694 --> 01:33:39,647
- He's righteous and he sticks up for you.
- In what way does he stick up for you?

1332
01:33:39,820 --> 01:33:43,861
He believes in America,
believes in making money, being rich.

1333
01:33:44,029 --> 01:33:46,239
He's not one of those sensitive liberals

1334
01:33:46,407 --> 01:33:49,690
that makes you feel responsible
for everything that's gone wrong.

1335
01:33:49,866 --> 01:33:53,150
Have you heard about his connection
to the failed savings and loan

1336
01:33:53,329 --> 01:33:55,947
and his involvement with drug smuggling?

1337
01:33:56,121 --> 01:34:00,497
- No.
- Yeah, I heard about that. That's bullshit.

1338
01:34:00,664 --> 01:34:04,530
- It may be, yes.
- It's the press. They always lie.

1339
01:34:04,710 --> 01:34:06,203
That may be as well.

1340
01:34:08,214 --> 01:34:11,497
 Roger! Calvin! Roger, Calvin!

1341
01:34:11,675 --> 01:34:14,376
He's dead! He's dead. They got him.

1342
01:34:14,551 --> 01:34:17,548
-  Who's dead?
- Bugs Raplin. He's dead!

1344
01:34:26,267 --> 01:34:31,006
We are moving for the great day

1345
01:34:31,184 --> 01:34:36,308
- A day of triumph in the mind
-  Bob! Bob! Bob!

1346
01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:42,481
We are marching for the Lord

1347
01:34:42,650 --> 01:34:46,147
Of the silent nameless one

1348
01:34:47,194 --> 01:34:52,483
- Working hard for brighter days


1349
01:34:52,657 --> 01:34:54,982
There's a prophet on the run...

1350
01:34:55,158 --> 01:34:59,320
Journalist John Alijah Raplin
was shot at 6.30 pm at close range

1351
01:34:59,494 --> 01:35:02,827
by a man calling himself
a member of the Arm of Justice,

1352
01:35:02,998 --> 01:35:07,873
a right-wing group dedicated
to undoing injustices in the criminal system.

1353
01:35:08,039 --> 01:35:10,711
Outside the 3rd Precinct in Philadelphia,

1354
01:35:10,877 --> 01:35:13,710
the as yet unidentified radical
yelled at reporters and police,

1355
01:35:13,880 --> 01:35:16,417
saying he is one of many
throughout the country

1356
01:35:16,586 --> 01:35:20,037
and that his action
is the beginning of a new era for justice.

1357
01:35:20,216 --> 01:35:24,462
Mr Raplin died at 8.30 pm
after a prolonged attempt to revive him failed.

1358
01:35:24,635 --> 01:35:28,880
Raplin, who suffered from cerebral palsy,
was released last month

1359
01:35:29,056 --> 01:35:32,421
and cleared of any connection to the attack
on Senator Bob Roberts.

1360
01:35:32,596 --> 01:35:36,216
Raplin is a self-professed radical
and leaves no surviving family.

1361
01:35:36,394 --> 01:35:40,141
A United Nations delegation led by
Secretary General Javier P�rez de Cu�llar

1362
01:35:40,312 --> 01:35:44,142
left Baghdad tonight after a last-minute
attempt at diplomacy in Iraq.

1363
01:35:44,313 --> 01:35:47,348
The Iraqis have refused
to withdraw from Kuwait

1364
01:35:47,523 --> 01:35:50,808
<i>as the UN-mandated deadline
approaches at 12 midnight.

1365
01:35:50,985 --> 01:35:54,813
President Bush said that every attempt
at diplomacy has been exhausted

1366
01:35:54,988 --> 01:35:59,564
and that the job of repelling the aggressor
has reached a crucial stage.

1367
01:35:59,739 --> 01:36:04,151
The Senate voted overwhelmingly to support
the President if force becomes necessary.

1368
01:36:04,324 --> 01:36:08,534
Two weeks ago, 48% of Congress
had been opposed to the use of force.

1369
01:36:08,703 --> 01:36:13,031
The Democratic majority leader said today
that since war appears imminent,

1370
01:36:13,205 --> 01:36:15,495
it is important
that we stand behind the President.

1371
01:36:15,670 --> 01:36:18,415
A poll today shows that the American public

1372
01:36:18,585 --> 01:36:22,628
are now supporting the use of force
in the Persian Gulf.

1373
01:36:22,795 --> 01:36:26,660
Two weeks ago, 58% of the American public
opposed intervention.

1374
01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:32,378
Tonight, on the eve of war, only 40%
oppose the use of force, the poll says.

1375
01:36:42,099 --> 01:36:45,713
 I've Got To Know

1376
01:37:05,822 --> 01:37:12,070
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know, friend

1377
01:37:12,242 --> 01:37:17,579
Hungry lips ask me
Wherever I go

1378
01:37:19,791 --> 01:37:25,163
Comrades and friends all falling around me

1379
01:37:25,336 --> 01:37:30,837
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know

1380
01:37:33,421 --> 01:37:38,843
Why do your war boats
Ride on my waters?

1381
01:37:39,008 --> 01:37:44,468
Why do your death bombs
Fall down from our skies?

1382
01:37:45,515 --> 01:37:51,016
Tell me why do you burn
My farm and my town down?

1383
01:37:51,185 --> 01:37:56,425
I've got to know, friend
I've got to know

1384
01:37:57,937 --> 01:38:02,977
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know, friend

1385
01:38:03,147 --> 01:38:08,734
Hungry lips ask me
Wherever I go

1386
01:38:09,737 --> 01:38:14,860
Comrades and friends all falling around me

1387
01:38:15,032 --> 01:38:20,487
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know

1388
01:38:23,120 --> 01:38:28,456
What makes your boat
Haul death to my people?

1389
01:38:28,623 --> 01:38:33,747
Nitro blockbusters
Big cannons and guns?

1390
01:38:35,253 --> 01:38:40,125
Why doesn't your ship
Bring food and some clothing?

1391
01:38:40,295 --> 01:38:45,171
I've got to know, folks
I've got to know

1392
01:38:47,676 --> 01:38:52,585
Why can't my two hands
Get a good paid job?

1393
01:38:52,763 --> 01:38:57,505
I can still plough and plant
I can still sow

1394
01:38:59,392 --> 01:39:04,980
Why did your lawbook
Chase me off my good land?

1395
01:39:05,146 --> 01:39:10,220
I'd sure like to know, friend
I've just got to know

1396
01:39:14,526 --> 01:39:19,188
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know, friend

1397
01:39:19,362 --> 01:39:25,401
Hungry lips ask me
Wherever I go

1398
01:39:25,575 --> 01:39:30,236
and friends all falling around me

1399
01:39:30,415 --> 01:39:35,236
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know

1400
01:39:37,791 --> 01:39:42,581
What good work did you do?
I'd like to ask you

1401
01:39:42,752 --> 01:39:48,335
To give you my money
Right out of my hands

1402
01:39:48,506 --> 01:39:53,959
I built your big house here
To hide from my people

1403
01:39:54,134 --> 01:39:59,718
Why did you hide so?
I'd like to know

1404
01:40:00,637 --> 01:40:05,014
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know, friend

1405
01:40:05,185 --> 01:40:09,810
Hungry lips ask me
Wherever I go

1406
01:40:10,936 --> 01:40:15,348
Comrades and friends all falling around me

1407
01:40:15,524 --> 01:40:20,229
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know

1408
01:40:22,528 --> 01:40:27,069
You keep me in jail
And you lock me in prison

1409
01:40:28,198 --> 01:40:33,240
Your hospital's jammed
And your crazy house full

1410
01:40:35,118 --> 01:40:39,990
What made your cop kill
My trade union worker?

1411
01:40:40,163 --> 01:40:45,867
You'll have to talk plain
'Cause I've sure got to know

1412
01:40:47,128 --> 01:40:52,200
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know, friend

1413
01:40:52,379 --> 01:40:57,882
Hungry lips ask me
Wherever I go

1414
01:41:00,759 --> 01:41:04,922
Comrades and friends all falling around me

1415
01:41:05,096 --> 01:41:09,590
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know

1416
01:41:14,060 --> 01:41:18,305
Why can't I get work
And cash a big paycheque?

1417
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:24,099
Why can't I buy things
In your place and your store?

1418
01:41:26,608 --> 01:41:31,682
Why do you close my plant
and my... down?

1419
01:41:31,862 --> 01:41:37,231
I'm asking you, man
'Cause I sure got to know

1420
01:41:38,364 --> 01:41:42,444
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know, friend

1421
01:41:42,617 --> 01:41:47,777
Hungry lips ask me
Wherever I go

1422
01:41:48,954 --> 01:41:52,822
Comrades and friends all falling around me

1423
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:57,624
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know
