00:00:25,483 --> 00:00:26,817
HOOVER:
Let me tell you something.
2
00:00:26,985 --> 00:00:30,446
The SCLC has direct Communist ties.
3
00:00:30,613 --> 00:00:33,282
Even great men can be corrupted,
can't they?
4
00:00:33,450 --> 00:00:36,994
Communism is not a political party.
It is a disease.
5
00:00:37,162 --> 00:00:39,788
It corrupts the soul,
turning even the gentlest of men...
6
00:00:39,956 --> 00:00:43,167
...into vicious, evil tyrants.
7
00:00:43,334 --> 00:00:46,754
What we are seeing is a pervasive
contempt for law and order.
8
00:00:46,921 --> 00:00:48,005
Crime rates are soaring.
9
00:00:48,173 --> 00:00:50,883
There's widespread,
open defiance of our authority...
10
00:00:51,051 --> 00:00:53,552
...and, mark my words,
if this goes unchecked...
11
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,400
{\an8}Improved Captions by Sailor420
{\an8}!!! Hope you enjoy the film !!!
12
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,307
...it will once again plunge our nation
into the depths of anarchy.
13
00:00:58,475 --> 00:01:01,310
It all starts out peacefully,
doesn't it, Mr. Irwin?
14
00:01:01,478 --> 00:01:03,020
You have to live with the fact...
15
00:01:03,188 --> 00:01:06,106
...that you could've helped prevent
the bombings and the violence.
16
00:01:06,274 --> 00:01:08,817
I'm more interested in what this says
about your FBI.
17
00:01:08,985 --> 00:01:11,361
I have worked too long and hard
to just sit back...
18
00:01:11,529 --> 00:01:15,324
...and watch the bad guys capture
the spotlight again, haven't I?
19
00:01:15,492 --> 00:01:17,201
The funny thing about notoriety...
20
00:01:17,368 --> 00:01:21,830
...especially the kind that needs
adoration, fame for fame's sake...
21
00:01:21,998 --> 00:01:24,249
...if unchecked,
it inevitably leads to villainy.
22
00:01:24,417 --> 00:01:27,669
I suggest you look at what this
squabble is really about...
23
00:01:27,837 --> 00:01:31,673
...before you destroy the reputation
of the thing we both know you love most.
24
00:01:41,643 --> 00:01:43,519
(intercom buzzes)
25
00:01:46,356 --> 00:01:48,982
ROBERTA: Yes. I think. Yes.
42
00:03:01,347 --> 00:03:03,056
(girl screams)
43
00:03:03,308 --> 00:03:05,267
(roberta crying)
44
00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:08,604
(girl screaming)
45
00:03:19,115 --> 00:03:22,284
PALMER:
it's all right. Come here.
46
00:03:22,452 --> 00:03:25,954
- It's all right, it's all right.
ROBERTA: No, it's okay.
47
00:03:26,122 --> 00:03:28,916
Are you okay? it's okay.
48
00:03:32,837 --> 00:03:34,755
Are you okay?
49
00:03:45,850 --> 00:03:47,226
00:04:28,308
(people chattering)
60
00:04:29,686 --> 00:04:32,562
HOOVER: It was clear to me
the radical's bomb went off too soon...
61
00:04:32,730 --> 00:04:35,524
...leaving only his blood in the street.
62
00:04:35,692 --> 00:04:40,320
But the inspectors used buckets to
clean up the mess instead of collecting it.
63
00:04:40,488 --> 00:04:43,865
They discarded his gun
instead of preserving its prints.
64
00:04:44,033 --> 00:04:46,201
But you see,
this wasn't clumsy police work.
65
00:04:46,369 --> 00:04:49,496
In those times, it was normal procedure.
66
00:04:49,664 --> 00:04:52,958
This may be the end of days
for this country, Dwight.
67
00:04:57,380 --> 00:05:01,550
HOOVER: it was 1919, before anyone
respected criminal science...
68
00:05:01,718 --> 00:05:04,720
...before federal powers, before the FBI.
69
00:05:05,555 --> 00:05:10,475
It was that night my eyes were opened.
That very night.
70
00:05:11,227 --> 00:05:12,769
Is he a neighbor, sir?
71
00:05:13,271 --> 00:05:15,188
No. He works in my office.
72
00:05:17,358 --> 00:05:21,903
HOOVER: "There will have to be murder.
We will kill because it is necessary.
73
00:05:22,071 --> 00:05:25,866
We will destroy to rid the world
of your tyrannical institutions."
74
00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:36,710
SMITH: You were at Attorney General
Palmer's home that night?
75
00:05:36,878 --> 00:05:39,463
HOOVER: Well, let's leave that
to the reader's imagination.
76
00:05:39,672 --> 00:05:43,550
You see, it's important we give
our protagonist a bit of mystery.
77
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,720
SMITH: I could allude to a young man
who matches your description.
78
00:05:46,888 --> 00:05:48,347
The best of both worlds.
79
00:05:48,514 --> 00:05:50,724
Where did you get your law degree?
80
00:05:50,892 --> 00:05:53,060
George Washington. I grew up here.
81
00:05:53,227 --> 00:05:55,520
I had a mom to take care of,
so I stayed close.
82
00:05:55,688 --> 00:05:57,939
I received an English degree there also.
83
00:05:58,775 --> 00:06:02,944
Then I don't need to tell you that
what determines a man's legacy...
84
00:06:03,112 --> 00:06:05,405
...is often what isn't seen.
85
00:06:05,698 --> 00:06:07,991
What's critical at this moment is...
86
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:12,454
...that we re-clarify the difference
between villain and hero.
87
00:06:13,956 --> 00:06:16,625
How do you think that compares
with today?
88
00:06:17,627 --> 00:06:20,420
I'm not sure, sir. I'd like to hear more.
89
00:06:20,588 --> 00:06:22,589
I could come back tomorrow.
90
00:06:23,299 --> 00:06:26,593
Fine. But the pages stay here.
91
00:06:26,761 --> 00:06:28,095
Of course, sir.
92
00:06:29,972 --> 00:06:31,139
Agent Smith.
93
00:06:31,307 --> 00:06:32,391
Thank you, sir.
94
00:06:40,650 --> 00:06:42,776
Never a good idea to talk too loud.
95
00:06:49,325 --> 00:06:50,617
Good morning, John.
96
00:06:50,785 --> 00:06:53,870
Mr. Palmer has asked that you attend
the emergency meeting today.
97
00:06:54,038 --> 00:06:55,580
Miss Gladwell, please remember...
98
00:06:56,916 --> 00:06:58,417
...it's Mr. Hoover.
99
00:06:58,584 --> 00:07:00,502
Two o'clock.
100
00:07:00,670 --> 00:07:04,339
Don't be too early this time.
It's as rude as being tardy.
101
00:07:05,174 --> 00:07:08,760
And who is this lovely addition
to the secretarial pool?
102
00:07:11,806 --> 00:07:13,849
Helen, introduce yourself.
103
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:15,142
Oh.
104
00:07:15,309 --> 00:07:18,145
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Hoover.
I'm Helen Gandy.
105
00:07:18,312 --> 00:07:21,356
Pleased to meet you.
Welcome to the Department of Justice.
106
00:07:22,859 --> 00:07:25,444
You can notify Mr. Palmer
that I will attend.
107
00:07:26,195 --> 00:07:27,654
Of course.
108
00:07:30,366 --> 00:07:33,410
GLADWELL: He's always a charmer.
I wouldn't take anything very seriously.
109
00:07:42,712 --> 00:07:44,504
MAN:
Jeremy, I need your help.
110
00:07:44,672 --> 00:07:46,339
I need, uh... Uh, help.
111
00:07:46,507 --> 00:07:47,966
I need your help.
112
00:08:06,194 --> 00:08:07,360
Good evening, Mother.
113
00:08:11,073 --> 00:08:12,240
Edgar.
114
00:08:14,076 --> 00:08:16,912
Madame Marcia held court this morning.
115
00:08:17,538 --> 00:08:20,248
Her premonition, I should buy a dress.
116
00:08:21,250 --> 00:08:23,752
She says your father will die soon.
117
00:08:24,670 --> 00:08:29,591
And when he does, you will rise to be
the most powerful man in the country.
118
00:08:33,471 --> 00:08:35,764
Your brother's a good man, Edgar...
119
00:08:35,932 --> 00:08:39,434
...but you will restore our family
to greatness.
120
00:08:42,730 --> 00:08:43,772
Edgar?
121
00:08:43,940 --> 00:08:46,441
Edgar? Am I boring you?
122
00:08:46,609 --> 00:08:49,277
I'm listening, Mother. You fired the maid.
123
00:08:50,112 --> 00:08:52,322
I told her when she was through,
she could quit.
124
00:08:52,490 --> 00:08:56,952
I'm not paying for her impudence.
The whole Negro race is in open revolt.
125
00:08:57,119 --> 00:08:59,287
- I could open an investigation.
- Gotten too comfortable.
126
00:08:59,455 --> 00:09:02,415
Did you hear what I said?
I said I could open an investigation.
127
00:09:02,583 --> 00:09:03,708
Say what you mean.
128
00:09:04,293 --> 00:09:08,255
Mr. Palmer called me into a meeting today.
The war against the Bolsheviks has begun.
129
00:09:08,422 --> 00:09:11,633
He's insisted that I lead
a new anti-radical division.
130
00:09:11,801 --> 00:09:13,301
Did you leap like a dog?
131
00:09:14,011 --> 00:09:17,138
I told him this is the greatest
threat our nation has ever faced...
132
00:09:17,306 --> 00:09:21,142
...and I cannot take the job unless
I feel certain I can be effective.
133
00:09:21,310 --> 00:09:23,770
Well done. But you'll take it.
134
00:09:23,938 --> 00:09:25,814
Three thousand a year, Mother.
135
00:09:25,982 --> 00:09:28,984
I've got to get new clothes.
You can't look like that anymore.
136
00:09:31,237 --> 00:09:34,781
I have 40 names of suspected radicals
already in only four hours.
137
00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:36,825
I should have 10,000
by end of the month.
138
00:09:36,993 --> 00:09:41,788
And I have my own staff, trusted agents.
139
00:09:41,956 --> 00:09:44,499
Edgar, are you smoking?
140
00:09:45,293 --> 00:09:48,670
- Doesn't come naturally, Mother.
- Listen to the doctor.
141
00:09:48,838 --> 00:09:52,299
With this new burden,
your nerves could get the better of you.
142
00:09:56,012 --> 00:09:57,971
You don't want to end up like your father.
143
00:09:58,139 --> 00:10:00,682
Go and try one now.
You can put your father in his room.
144
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:02,350
I have to get ready for dinner.
145
00:10:04,687 --> 00:10:06,438
Are you abandoning me tonight?
146
00:10:07,648 --> 00:10:10,025
It's with a typist. She's very organized.
147
00:10:11,402 --> 00:10:12,444
Is it a date?
148
00:10:12,612 --> 00:10:14,654
I think so. I think so.
149
00:10:14,822 --> 00:10:19,200
I'm gonna show her my old card catalog
system at the Library of Congress.
150
00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:21,244
Romance her.
151
00:10:22,038 --> 00:10:23,622
Wear a blue tie.
152
00:10:24,582 --> 00:10:26,958
You look so handsome in your blue tie.
153
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,720
Look at the ceiling.
154
00:10:38,888 --> 00:10:40,388
It's incredible.
155
00:10:44,727 --> 00:10:47,520
I've never been here before.
156
00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:51,775
(hoover speaks indistinctly
then helen chuckles)
157
00:10:54,987 --> 00:10:56,363
I helped organize it.
158
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,074
See, every item is assigned
its own index card...
159
00:10:59,241 --> 00:11:00,992
...with its own unique code...
160
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,121
...indicating the title, author,
location, and topic.
161
00:11:05,289 --> 00:11:09,668
What used to take days to locate
now only takes a matter of minutes.
162
00:11:09,835 --> 00:11:13,171
Go on. Give me an author
or a topic. Anything.
163
00:11:14,173 --> 00:11:15,215
Indiscretion.
164
00:11:15,383 --> 00:11:16,591
What era?
165
00:11:16,842 --> 00:11:17,884
Present day.
166
00:11:18,052 --> 00:11:20,512
Good. Time me.
167
00:11:47,164 --> 00:11:48,623
Hmm.
168
00:11:49,625 --> 00:11:51,126
(chuckles)
169
00:11:51,961 --> 00:11:53,503
Heh.
170
00:11:55,506 --> 00:11:57,966
Almost there, heh.
171
00:12:02,179 --> 00:12:04,806
How do you know I didn't mean
political indiscretion?
172
00:12:05,683 --> 00:12:08,268
Well, if you'd like,
I can start all over again.
173
00:12:08,436 --> 00:12:09,602
This will do.
174
00:12:09,770 --> 00:12:11,479
How long did I take?
175
00:12:11,647 --> 00:12:13,815
One minute, 10 seconds.
176
00:12:13,983 --> 00:12:17,610
Now imagine if every citizen in this
country were uniquely identifiable...
177
00:12:17,778 --> 00:12:21,990
...by their own card and number,
say, the pattern on their fingers.
178
00:12:22,992 --> 00:12:27,036
Imagine how quickly we could find them
if they committed a crime.
179
00:12:27,496 --> 00:12:29,330
It's all very impressive, John.
180
00:12:30,666 --> 00:12:34,919
Well, would you like to stay here
or would you like to go somewhere else?
181
00:12:35,796 --> 00:12:37,213
It's up to you.
182
00:12:38,966 --> 00:12:40,550
(chuckles)
183
00:12:41,886 --> 00:12:42,927
Mr. Hoover.
184
00:12:45,514 --> 00:12:48,016
I'm not sure where you think
this is headed.
185
00:12:48,601 --> 00:12:50,185
Right, of course.
186
00:12:52,688 --> 00:12:53,980
Miss Gandy.
187
00:12:56,734 --> 00:12:59,027
I know we've only known each other
a brief time...
188
00:12:59,195 --> 00:13:01,529
...but you would
make the finest of companions.
189
00:13:01,697 --> 00:13:05,158
Your strength, your character,
your education.
190
00:13:05,326 --> 00:13:07,285
Are you poking fun at me?
191
00:13:07,953 --> 00:13:10,789
No. No, no, no. No, no, of course not.
192
00:13:11,749 --> 00:13:14,209
Then please, Mr. Hoover, stand up.
193
00:13:18,130 --> 00:13:21,716
I'd appreciate it
if you wouldn't share this...
194
00:13:21,884 --> 00:13:24,886
...with any of the other women
in the typing pool.
195
00:13:25,054 --> 00:13:26,554
No, of course not.
196
00:13:26,722 --> 00:13:29,224
All right. May I ask what... What...
197
00:13:30,142 --> 00:13:33,728
What particular flaw
you seem to find in my character?
198
00:13:34,438 --> 00:13:36,397
No. We just met.
199
00:13:36,565 --> 00:13:37,732
Right, of course.
200
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:40,902
But I believe that I am a fast
and accurate judge of character.
201
00:13:41,070 --> 00:13:43,404
We've gone out three times,
but I don't need more.
202
00:13:43,572 --> 00:13:47,033
Most people do, but I don't.
I see people right off for what they are.
203
00:13:47,201 --> 00:13:50,578
And please, call me Edgar.
It's what my mother uses.
204
00:13:50,746 --> 00:13:52,664
- Edgar?
- Yes?
205
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:55,083
Can you keep a secret?
206
00:13:55,876 --> 00:13:58,753
Yes. Of course. You have my word.
207
00:14:00,422 --> 00:14:04,926
I'm not interested in getting married.
My work comes first.
208
00:14:06,136 --> 00:14:07,637
Hmm.
209
00:14:08,889 --> 00:14:14,435
Then perhaps you would consider
a position as my personal secretary.
210
00:14:16,730 --> 00:14:18,106
00:15:48,738
Before I moved to this office,
we were powerless.
240
00:15:48,906 --> 00:15:51,658
We had few federal laws,
no right to carry firearms...
241
00:15:51,825 --> 00:15:53,993
...and Congress liked it that way.
242
00:15:54,161 --> 00:15:58,414
Criminals ran free, but there was no law
against keeping track of them...
243
00:15:58,582 --> 00:16:00,750
...so I made a decision on my own.
244
00:16:00,918 --> 00:16:03,461
I compiled note cards
and over five thousand names...
245
00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:05,880
...and called the one department
in Washington...
246
00:16:06,048 --> 00:16:08,716
...that still held a small piece
of untested power.
247
00:16:08,884 --> 00:16:12,553
Was that the Department of Labor?
The power to deport, sir?
248
00:16:12,721 --> 00:16:15,264
But only to deport those
who checked two boxes.
249
00:16:15,432 --> 00:16:20,269
They had to be foreign citizens and they
had to be working to harm our country.
250
00:16:20,437 --> 00:16:22,188
And they cooperated with you?
251
00:16:22,356 --> 00:16:23,982
Of course not.
252
00:16:24,149 --> 00:16:28,319
No one freely shares power
in Washington, D.C., Agent Smith.
253
00:16:28,487 --> 00:16:31,239
PALMER: There is no law
under which you can issue a warrant...
254
00:16:31,407 --> 00:16:33,241
...for the arrest of an alien...
255
00:16:33,409 --> 00:16:36,077
...when I have certified that
he is subject to deportation?
256
00:16:36,245 --> 00:16:38,997
Without any evidence,
Mr. Attorney General, no.
257
00:16:39,164 --> 00:16:41,749
- There exists a due process of law.
- Due process of law?
258
00:16:43,168 --> 00:16:45,712
- What about the threat?
- There might be a threat...
259
00:16:45,879 --> 00:16:47,005
Might be?
260
00:16:47,172 --> 00:16:49,882
Fine. There is a threat to our country.
261
00:16:50,050 --> 00:16:53,469
But with no proof of a crime,
there's no cause for deportation.
262
00:16:53,637 --> 00:16:55,596
We'll see about that.
263
00:16:55,764 --> 00:16:57,598
You'll be hearing from me.
264
00:16:59,435 --> 00:17:01,936
HOOVER:
But one of their heads was a Mr. Caminetti.
265
00:17:02,104 --> 00:17:06,858
He was weary of our Justice Department,
but he hated one person even more.
266
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:10,194
I am a revolutionist by nature...
267
00:17:10,362 --> 00:17:11,446
...and as such...
268
00:17:11,613 --> 00:17:15,783
...I claim the right to rebel
and resist invasion...
269
00:17:15,951 --> 00:17:19,454
...by all means, force included.
270
00:17:19,621 --> 00:17:22,915
HOOVER: Emma Goldman. She was the hero
of the radical movement.
271
00:17:23,083 --> 00:17:27,587
If I could hand Caminetti Emma Goldman,
he would deport her without a thought.
272
00:17:27,755 --> 00:17:30,089
But she was a citizen.
273
00:17:33,635 --> 00:17:34,969
Would you like to stop, sir?
274
00:17:39,058 --> 00:17:40,558
No.
275
00:17:40,726 --> 00:17:44,228
I know it's hard for you to imagine today,
but there was a time...
276
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:49,358
...when the average American feared
for their safety and survival, Agent Smith.
277
00:17:49,902 --> 00:17:54,864
HOOVER: In Chicago, a coal strike started
by communist labor shut off all the power.
278
00:17:55,032 --> 00:17:56,324
Riots followed.
279
00:17:56,492 --> 00:17:59,160
And on Armistice Day
in Centralia, Washington...
280
00:17:59,328 --> 00:18:02,830
...veterans fresh back from the war
were murdered by radicals.
281
00:18:02,998 --> 00:18:04,040
(grunts)
282
00:18:04,208 --> 00:18:07,752
HOOVER:
The red revolution had arrived on our soil.
283
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,214
00:18:30,066
Now listen, I want a card on every
radical person in this country.
289
00:18:30,234 --> 00:18:31,984
Against the wall, gentlemen.
290
00:18:32,152 --> 00:18:35,321
I wanna know who, where they're from,
what group, what they say.
291
00:18:35,489 --> 00:18:37,073
Who have already committed crimes?
292
00:18:37,241 --> 00:18:41,786
I care more whether they intend to.
Against the wall, gentlemen, thank you.
293
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:44,705
- How many are on our team?
- Only you four for now.
294
00:18:44,873 --> 00:18:46,666
I'll have locks installed.
295
00:18:46,834 --> 00:18:49,544
No, Miss Gandy.
That would bring too much attention.
296
00:18:49,711 --> 00:18:51,712
Nothing is to be alphabetically ordered.
297
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,799
I want the cards to be broken down
into subjects and categories.
298
00:18:54,967 --> 00:18:57,385
Now, this system should be easy enough
if explained.
299
00:18:57,553 --> 00:19:00,513
If not, finding information
should prove impossible.
300
00:19:02,307 --> 00:19:05,393
And trust no one,
not even our fellow agents.
301
00:19:05,561 --> 00:19:08,062
Half our colleagues are on both sides
of the payroll.
302
00:19:08,564 --> 00:19:11,524
But the crimes we're investigating
aren't crimes, they're ideas.
303
00:19:11,692 --> 00:19:12,984
Well, if your idea...
304
00:19:13,152 --> 00:19:15,319
Against the wall, gentlemen. Thank you.
305
00:19:15,487 --> 00:19:19,574
If your idea is to come into our country
and plot the overthrow of our government...
306
00:19:19,741 --> 00:19:21,534
...then, yes, indeed, that is a crime.
307
00:19:21,702 --> 00:19:24,162
Mrs. Goldman married a U.S. citizen.
308
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,583
The man she married hasn't visited
her once in prison, yet this man...
309
00:19:28,750 --> 00:19:31,752
...the man she's lived with since her
wedding, he visits nightly.
310
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,964
What happens when we raid
this list of yours and find nothing?
311
00:19:35,132 --> 00:19:38,467
No guns, no bombs,
just innocent people deported.
312
00:19:38,635 --> 00:19:41,762
From every corner of this nation,
the American people...
313
00:19:41,930 --> 00:19:45,016
...have urged the Attorney General
to do something about this...
314
00:19:45,184 --> 00:19:47,351
...and return the United States
back to peace.
315
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:50,438
Now, I'm happy to send your objections
to Mr. Palmer himself...
316
00:19:50,606 --> 00:19:53,691
...but, in the meantime,
expose Miss Goldman's sham marriage...
317
00:19:53,859 --> 00:19:57,111
...and you will change that suit of yours.
318
00:19:57,279 --> 00:19:59,363
- Pardon me, John?
- Your suit, sir, your suit.
319
00:19:59,531 --> 00:20:00,573
This isn't a saloon.
320
00:20:00,741 --> 00:20:03,117
Have respect for yourself,
but, more importantly...
321
00:20:03,285 --> 00:20:04,952
...have respect for this department.
322
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:06,746
Miss Gandy?
323
00:20:13,712 --> 00:20:15,463
MAN:
Miss Goldman, are you an anarchist?
324
00:20:15,631 --> 00:20:17,048
I decline to answer.
325
00:20:17,216 --> 00:20:19,300
MAN:
Do you deny that you are an anarchist?
326
00:20:19,468 --> 00:20:21,469
I decline to answer.
327
00:20:21,637 --> 00:20:25,223
Do you believe in the overthrow
of the government of the United States?
328
00:20:25,390 --> 00:20:26,891
I refuse to answer.
329
00:20:27,059 --> 00:20:29,560
Do you advocate the assassination
of public officials?
330
00:20:29,728 --> 00:20:32,480
I refuse to answer.
331
00:20:34,775 --> 00:20:39,820
This alien has refused to answer questions
pertaining to the charges in the warrant...
332
00:20:39,988 --> 00:20:43,241
...notwithstanding the fact that
every opportunity was afforded her.
333
00:20:43,408 --> 00:20:45,117
I recommend deportation.
334
00:20:45,911 --> 00:20:47,161
(crowd gasps)
335
00:20:47,621 --> 00:20:50,998
HOOVER:
And just like that, we had our precedent.
336
00:20:53,001 --> 00:20:57,505
Edgar, should I arrange our travel
to Paterson on Valentine's Day?
337
00:20:58,173 --> 00:21:00,675
Yes, of course, Miss Gandy.
338
00:21:05,180 --> 00:21:09,475
00:21:37,128
- Are we allowed to use these, sir?
- These are gifts.
348
00:21:37,296 --> 00:21:40,047
There is no law that prevents us
from using our own weapons.
349
00:21:40,215 --> 00:21:42,883
Gentlemen, grab your guns.
350
00:21:45,721 --> 00:21:47,388
Gentlemen, quickly.
351
00:21:51,393 --> 00:21:52,727
Let's move.
352
00:22:04,906 --> 00:22:06,532
OFFICER:
Police! This is a raid!
353
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:08,409
(indistinct chattering)
354
00:22:16,460 --> 00:22:19,253
OFFICER:
He's going for the window, stop him!
355
00:22:29,890 --> 00:22:33,017
(all grunting)
356
00:22:51,328 --> 00:22:52,703
That's enough!
357
00:23:12,849 --> 00:23:15,851
HOOVER:
The leaflets matched exactly.
358
00:23:16,186 --> 00:23:18,771
We'd solved the bombings.
359
00:23:19,022 --> 00:23:23,401
And, in the end, we arrested nearly
4000 communist radicals...
360
00:23:23,568 --> 00:23:25,820
...and deported over 500 of them.
361
00:23:27,155 --> 00:23:31,617
It was accomplished against great odds
and at great personal peril.
362
00:23:34,287 --> 00:23:39,375
They found the counterfeiting press,
five pistols, two automatics.
363
00:23:39,543 --> 00:23:43,921
And in Trenton, they found gunpowder,
copper, brass wire, and batteries.
364
00:23:44,089 --> 00:23:46,340
- A bomb factory.
- Yes.
365
00:23:46,508 --> 00:23:52,847
One hundred and twenty arrests in Detroit,
41 in Philadelphia, and 17 here so far.
366
00:23:53,014 --> 00:23:56,142
SMITH: But everyone in the Bureau involved
lost their job, correct?
367
00:23:56,309 --> 00:23:57,685
Even Palmer himself?
368
00:23:57,853 --> 00:23:59,979
HOOVER:
Some did, and there's the lesson.
369
00:24:00,147 --> 00:24:02,648
You see, the bombs stopped,
and peace came.
370
00:24:02,816 --> 00:24:05,860
The American people had forgotten
there ever was a threat.
371
00:24:06,027 --> 00:24:08,863
So when political adversaries
attacked Palmer...
372
00:24:09,030 --> 00:24:11,699
...for trying to protect this nation
from communism...
373
00:24:11,867 --> 00:24:13,701
...our countrymen allowed it to happen.
374
00:24:14,661 --> 00:24:19,582
Because like today, they've forgotten
the bombs, the blood, the fear.
375
00:24:19,749 --> 00:24:22,460
SMITH: But why Palmer and not you,
if you orchestrated the raids?
376
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,340
I was 24 years old, Agent Smith.
I was just following orders.
377
00:24:28,508 --> 00:24:29,925
I understand, sir.
378
00:24:30,093 --> 00:24:34,346
And if we hadn't, you may very well
have been born into a communist state...
379
00:24:34,514 --> 00:24:37,224
...rather than the country you love today.
380
00:24:37,392 --> 00:24:39,310
- Am I right?
- Of course, sir.
381
00:24:39,478 --> 00:24:40,519
Hmm.
382
00:24:40,687 --> 00:24:41,729
00:30:36,750
Can you read that?
478
00:30:39,921 --> 00:30:41,255
(chuckles)
479
00:30:41,422 --> 00:30:43,006
You proud of your uncle?
480
00:30:43,174 --> 00:30:44,633
(girl and hoover chuckle)
481
00:30:51,599 --> 00:30:53,058
(speaking indistinctly)
482
00:30:59,274 --> 00:31:00,315
MAN:
Gentlemen.
483
00:31:04,237 --> 00:31:06,280
I want to introduce you. Come with me.
484
00:31:09,075 --> 00:31:10,742
Edgar, good to see you.
485
00:31:10,910 --> 00:31:12,286
00:32:03,545
Has a family in New York
and a new baby."
502
00:32:03,713 --> 00:32:04,755
No interview.
503
00:32:05,381 --> 00:32:07,507
The family in New York or the baby?
504
00:32:07,675 --> 00:32:11,470
Miss Gandy, five years is not enough. We
need men willing to dedicate their lives.
505
00:32:11,638 --> 00:32:13,138
How many is that so far?
506
00:32:13,306 --> 00:32:18,560
- That's 320 denied and 21 interviews.
- Hmm.
507
00:32:18,728 --> 00:32:22,856
Did we receive an application
from a Mr. Tolson?
508
00:32:23,024 --> 00:32:25,192
Yes.
509
00:32:27,528 --> 00:32:31,156
Yes, his report states
he has confidence, poise...
510
00:32:31,324 --> 00:32:33,742
...his diction is excellent.
511
00:32:33,910 --> 00:32:38,413
But although physically fitted for it,
might be displeased with rugged work.
512
00:32:38,581 --> 00:32:42,876
His only interest is to gain experience
that would benefit a private law practice.
513
00:32:43,044 --> 00:32:46,630
And he has no interest in being here
for any period of time...
514
00:32:46,798 --> 00:32:49,675
...which would render
employment speculative.
515
00:32:50,468 --> 00:32:51,885
Hmm.
516
00:32:52,053 --> 00:32:54,763
He did receive
a letter of recommendation...
517
00:32:54,931 --> 00:32:58,392
...from the executive assistant
of the Secretary of War.
518
00:32:59,060 --> 00:33:01,019
That's fantastic, Miss Gandy.
519
00:33:01,187 --> 00:33:08,193
Yes. it mentions here that Mr. Tolson
showed no particular interest in women.
520
00:33:10,738 --> 00:33:16,076
Then again, some of our best agents excel
because they have no family encumbrance.
521
00:33:17,245 --> 00:33:20,414
Yes, you're right. Set up an interview.
522
00:33:23,543 --> 00:33:25,544
You know what the problem is,
Miss Gandy?
523
00:33:25,753 --> 00:33:28,714
These men, they don't...
They don't look up to me.
524
00:33:28,881 --> 00:33:30,048
Of course they do.
525
00:33:30,216 --> 00:33:35,137
I don't mean figuratively.
I mean they don't look up to me.
526
00:33:35,304 --> 00:33:39,266
Well, if you could conduct the entire
interview from behind your desk...
527
00:33:39,434 --> 00:33:44,646
...instead of walking about the office,
I could correct that.
528
00:33:44,814 --> 00:33:46,481
Indeed.
529
00:33:48,735 --> 00:33:52,779
Miss Gandy, suppose I had information
on someone in a position of power...
530
00:33:54,115 --> 00:33:56,324
...harmful information.
531
00:33:57,118 --> 00:33:59,703
It goes against my nature
to destroy such information...
532
00:33:59,871 --> 00:34:02,873
...but I don't trust it
in the general files either.
533
00:34:04,959 --> 00:34:06,626
Could I trust it with you?
534
00:34:06,794 --> 00:34:10,881
If we were to create a confidential file?
535
00:34:11,799 --> 00:34:13,508
Of course, Edgar.
536
00:34:15,678 --> 00:34:16,762
Thank you, Miss Gandy.
537
00:34:20,892 --> 00:34:23,101
HOOVER:
information is power.
538
00:34:23,269 --> 00:34:26,229
It protected us from the communists
in 1919...
539
00:34:26,397 --> 00:34:30,734
...and since has been vigilantly collected,
organized, and maintained by our FBI.
540
00:34:30,902 --> 00:34:32,569
(phone rings)
541
00:34:32,737 --> 00:34:35,489
WOMAN:
Attorney General Kennedy's Office.
542
00:34:39,744 --> 00:34:44,122
Did you always have this fireplace
or did you have it put in?
543
00:34:44,540 --> 00:34:45,582
KENNEDY:
it was put in.
544
00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:48,335
What were you doing with wiretaps
in that house?
545
00:34:49,545 --> 00:34:53,507
You asked that I pursue this
organized crime element, Mr. Kennedy...
546
00:34:53,674 --> 00:34:56,176
...and I did so, sir, with diligence.
547
00:34:56,844 --> 00:34:59,137
- Do you use the fireplace?
- Rarely.
548
00:34:59,305 --> 00:35:00,847
Who else has heard the recording?
549
00:35:01,849 --> 00:35:05,352
I have filed the matter
personal and confidential.
550
00:35:05,686 --> 00:35:07,646
I'm the only person with access to it.
551
00:35:09,232 --> 00:35:11,900
Mr. Hoover, I asked you to pursue
a real threat.
552
00:35:12,068 --> 00:35:15,695
Instead, you've publicly denied
the existence of organized crime...
553
00:35:15,863 --> 00:35:18,198
...and now this gross display
of intimidation.
554
00:35:18,366 --> 00:35:22,035
Mr. Attorney General,
I was only following orders.
555
00:35:22,203 --> 00:35:24,454
We bugged the basement of a home
in Los Angeles...
556
00:35:24,622 --> 00:35:27,541
...that was a known gathering place
for lawbreakers.
557
00:35:27,708 --> 00:35:32,129
How was I to know that an East German
communist would be down there...
558
00:35:32,296 --> 00:35:36,049
...having sex with your brother,
the President of the United States?
559
00:35:37,051 --> 00:35:40,637
Do not shoot the messenger, sir.
I am here to protect you both.
560
00:35:40,805 --> 00:35:42,472
Remember that.
561
00:35:45,434 --> 00:35:47,018
What do you want from me?
562
00:35:50,064 --> 00:35:52,732
If this information were to go public...
563
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:57,737
...it would create widespread distrust
in your brother's leadership capabilities.
564
00:35:58,197 --> 00:36:01,741
And above all else, I hold the well-being
of our country paramount.
565
00:36:01,909 --> 00:36:04,536
So how may I help you, Mr. Hoover?
566
00:36:04,704 --> 00:36:09,583
Well, if I am to pursue the elements
that you consider a threat...
567
00:36:09,750 --> 00:36:13,420
...I humbly request that you allow me
the same power and access...
568
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,423
...to follow the groups that I see
as an immediate threat.
569
00:36:16,591 --> 00:36:18,925
It's not 1920 anymore.
570
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:22,929
You know who Stanley Levinson is, sir?
571
00:36:24,390 --> 00:36:25,724
A lawyer.
572
00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:30,103
A white, communist lawyer
organizing at the highest levels...
573
00:36:30,271 --> 00:36:32,022
...including the SCLC.
574
00:36:32,190 --> 00:36:33,940
Now, their group is growing.
575
00:36:34,108 --> 00:36:36,318
They are entirely self-serving...
576
00:36:36,527 --> 00:36:40,113
...and their leadership is openly critical
of this department here.
577
00:36:40,281 --> 00:36:42,032
Did you read the memos that I sent?
578
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,451
No, no, I can't say that I have.
579
00:36:46,454 --> 00:36:48,455
It says right here, Mr. Kennedy.
580
00:36:48,623 --> 00:36:50,290
They claim we are...
581
00:36:50,458 --> 00:36:53,919
..."unable to get convictions in even
the worst, most heinous crimes..."
582
00:36:54,086 --> 00:36:57,214
...and that we have "faltered under
the pressure, complexities...
583
00:36:57,381 --> 00:36:59,674
...and responsibilities of our office,"
in print.
584
00:36:59,842 --> 00:37:03,553
- Right here in "The Washington Post."
- You can't bear a little criticism?
585
00:37:03,721 --> 00:37:05,972
Well, it depends on what their aim is.
586
00:37:06,140 --> 00:37:08,308
They are gaining considerable power.
587
00:37:08,476 --> 00:37:11,353
Their priorities are singularly focused
on their own issues.
588
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,730
They are trying to incite revolt.
589
00:37:14,649 --> 00:37:17,484
Frankly, they sound more critical
of your office than mine.
590
00:37:18,194 --> 00:37:21,112
There's a new face to communism,
Edgar, and this isn't it.
591
00:37:23,157 --> 00:37:25,825
Communism is a foreign threat now,
not domestic.
592
00:37:28,162 --> 00:37:31,831
Mr. Kennedy,
before you were even born...
593
00:37:32,833 --> 00:37:36,294
...I heard that very same argument
from a Mr. Mitchell Palmer.
594
00:37:37,338 --> 00:37:39,839
Do you know what it took
to change his mind?
595
00:37:40,174 --> 00:37:41,174
A bomb.
596
00:37:41,842 --> 00:37:45,428
If he would have sat in his rocking chair
five more minutes in 1919...
597
00:37:45,596 --> 00:37:49,599
...we'd have been lucky enough
to find an intact index finger.
598
00:37:49,767 --> 00:37:53,144
Now, I do not want that to happen
to you or your brother, sir.
599
00:37:54,021 --> 00:37:57,190
There's no reason
we both can't get what we want.
600
00:37:57,358 --> 00:38:01,695
We can wage a war on two fronts, sir.
You understand?
601
00:38:03,906 --> 00:38:06,533
You can go now, Mr. Hoover.
602
00:38:09,704 --> 00:38:10,996
Yes, sir.
603
00:38:12,123 --> 00:38:14,541
Please leave the transcripts here with me.
604
00:38:16,752 --> 00:38:18,003
Yes, sir.
605
00:38:23,801 --> 00:38:26,803
Oh, and feel free and share them
with your brother.
606
00:38:28,889 --> 00:38:33,310
Oh, and let him know that I have
a copy of my own in safekeeping.
607
00:38:42,194 --> 00:38:43,778
(door closes)
608
00:38:47,491 --> 00:38:49,034
(knocking on door)
609
00:38:50,870 --> 00:38:52,954
- Unh.
- Your 4:00 is here, sir.
610
00:38:53,122 --> 00:38:55,540
Thank you, Miss Gandy.
Send him right in, thank you.
611
00:38:59,879 --> 00:39:03,214
Please, have a seat, Mr. Tolson.
612
00:39:03,382 --> 00:39:06,012
Mr. Hoover, thank
you for this opportunity.
613
00:39:06,036 --> 00:39:07,093
Yes. Please.
614
00:39:07,261 --> 00:39:09,596
- Have a seat.
- Thank you, sir.
615
00:39:09,764 --> 00:39:13,224
There were several problems
with your application, Mr. Tolson...
616
00:39:13,392 --> 00:39:16,311
...not the least of which is the fact
that you did not show...
617
00:39:16,479 --> 00:39:18,730
...the proper requirement to the Bureau...
618
00:39:18,898 --> 00:39:20,273
(stammering)
619
00:39:20,441 --> 00:39:24,069
...nor the proper dedication
to protecting the American people...
620
00:39:24,236 --> 00:39:25,278
...and the American way.
621
00:39:25,446 --> 00:39:27,864
May I remind you
that this is not a platform...
622
00:39:28,032 --> 00:39:31,451
...to a fatter paycheck in
private practice, Mr. Tolson?
623
00:39:35,456 --> 00:39:38,291
Is there something the matter,
Mr. Tolson?
624
00:39:38,459 --> 00:39:40,460
No, sir.
625
00:39:40,628 --> 00:39:43,630
Is exercise a requirement
for all agents, sir?
626
00:39:45,883 --> 00:39:49,803
Yes. All our agents need to be
in top physical condition.
627
00:39:49,970 --> 00:39:54,307
We must outsmart and outmatch
the public enemy at every turn.
628
00:39:54,475 --> 00:39:56,017
Yes, of course.
629
00:39:56,185 --> 00:39:59,479
So, uh, what routine do you do, sir?
630
00:39:59,647 --> 00:40:03,108
Push-ups, sit-ups, and squatting.
631
00:40:04,485 --> 00:40:05,777
I see.
632
00:40:05,945 --> 00:40:07,654
Would you like me to fix the curtain?
633
00:40:08,406 --> 00:40:09,989
Or perhaps I could open a window.
634
00:40:10,157 --> 00:40:12,617
I always prefer
a little bit of air after exercise.
635
00:40:12,785 --> 00:40:14,702
Don't you?
636
00:40:15,496 --> 00:40:16,996
If it would please you.
637
00:40:18,124 --> 00:40:21,126
And, sir, where I may fall short
in terms of résumé...
638
00:40:22,128 --> 00:40:25,797
...I apparently far exceed
the rest in terms of honesty.
639
00:40:26,924 --> 00:40:28,591
I didn't lie to get this appointment, sir.
640
00:40:28,759 --> 00:40:31,219
Like the rest, yes,
I would like to start a practice...
641
00:40:31,387 --> 00:40:37,016
...but I could be persuaded otherwise
if the right opportunities were to arise.
642
00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:40,019
Hmm.
643
00:40:41,564 --> 00:40:44,107
Fair enough, Mr. Tolson.
644
00:40:46,193 --> 00:40:47,485
Fair enough.
645
00:41:00,291 --> 00:41:02,292
These sleeves seem to be
the correct length.
646
00:41:02,460 --> 00:41:04,002
I found you two tie options.
647
00:41:04,170 --> 00:41:06,379
This one is a bit more fashion-forward...
648
00:41:06,547 --> 00:41:09,090
...but it would complement this suit
and cut and fabric.
649
00:41:09,258 --> 00:41:10,800
It's too loud, don't you think?
650
00:41:10,968 --> 00:41:13,678
Too loud? Okay, which is why
I found this one, the backup.
651
00:41:13,846 --> 00:41:16,240
It's a bit more
directorial, a little bit more...
652
00:41:16,264 --> 00:41:18,558
it's a little bit more
reserved, I agree.
653
00:41:18,726 --> 00:41:22,729
Let's keep this as a second option, please.
Thank you, Clyde.
654
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:26,733
Are you Mr. John Hoover?
655
00:41:26,901 --> 00:41:28,193
I am. Is there a problem?
656
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,489
It seems there's a Mr. John Hoover
whose credit has gone bad with us.
657
00:41:32,656 --> 00:41:34,199
That would appear to be you.
658
00:41:34,366 --> 00:41:36,993
That is not me, sir, on my word.
659
00:41:37,161 --> 00:41:41,956
My mother calls me Edgar, my niece calls
me J.E., and I sign John E., not John.
660
00:41:42,124 --> 00:41:45,877
Well, sir, if you're a friend
of Mr. Tolson's...
661
00:41:46,045 --> 00:41:49,589
...just choose one name and reapply.
662
00:41:49,757 --> 00:41:51,591
All right.
663
00:41:52,218 --> 00:41:53,551
Thank you very much.
664
00:42:03,896 --> 00:42:04,938
Morning, Miss Gandy.
665
00:42:05,648 --> 00:42:07,649
What? You don't like it?
666
00:42:09,068 --> 00:42:12,904
Mr. Hoover,
there's been a massacre in Kansas City.
667
00:42:15,032 --> 00:42:16,074
One of our own?
668
00:42:18,744 --> 00:42:20,620
Special Agent Caffrey?
669
00:42:21,330 --> 00:42:22,372
MAN:
Let him have it!
670
00:42:23,290 --> 00:42:26,793
HOOVER: By 1930, the communist threat
had been beaten back...
671
00:42:27,378 --> 00:42:30,630
...but the Depression had hit
and there was a new threat.
672
00:42:30,798 --> 00:42:33,508
The bank robber, the car thief,
and the kidnapper.
673
00:42:33,676 --> 00:42:38,972
But, unfortunately, as with communism,
America didn't react with scorn.
674
00:42:39,139 --> 00:42:42,225
They gave the American gangster
admiration.
675
00:42:42,393 --> 00:42:44,894
HOOVER: And the defiance by desperate,
armed criminals...
676
00:42:45,062 --> 00:42:49,190
...of the forces of society and
civilization can no longer be ignored.
677
00:42:49,358 --> 00:42:53,236
Bugs Moran and Al Capone
top the list of public enemies.
678
00:42:53,404 --> 00:42:56,531
Look around you.
They could be anywhere.
679
00:42:56,699 --> 00:43:01,286
May I remind you that the Bureau of
Investigation seeks to be your protector.
680
00:43:01,453 --> 00:43:04,664
It belongs to you. It is as close to you
as your nearest telephone.
681
00:43:04,832 --> 00:43:05,873
(crowd booing)
682
00:43:06,041 --> 00:43:07,500
And with your help...
683
00:43:08,294 --> 00:43:11,462
ANNOUNCER: Warner Bros. presents
a Vitaphone production of,
684
00:43:11,630 --> 00:43:13,339
"The Public Enemy."
685
00:43:14,049 --> 00:43:17,677
James Cagney plays
public enemy number one.
686
00:43:19,013 --> 00:43:20,513
- Why, you.
- Aah!
687
00:43:22,224 --> 00:43:24,267
TOM:
There you go with that wishing stuff again.
688
00:43:24,435 --> 00:43:26,227
Maybe you found someone
you like better.
689
00:43:29,189 --> 00:43:31,524
ANNOUNCER:
Coming soon to your neighborhood theater.
690
00:43:32,818 --> 00:43:33,860
MAN:
Fantastic.
691
00:43:34,737 --> 00:43:39,365
That summer, a single crime opened
the door to set things right.
692
00:43:40,075 --> 00:43:42,827
Do you know what that was, Mr. Jones?
693
00:43:42,995 --> 00:43:44,329
Sorry, sir, what was that?
694
00:43:44,496 --> 00:43:47,665
Who is the most famous man
of the 20th Century thus far?
695
00:43:48,834 --> 00:43:50,209
Joe McCarthy, sir?
696
00:43:51,587 --> 00:43:54,589
Mr. McCarthy was an opportunist...
697
00:43:55,090 --> 00:43:57,175
...not a patriot, Mr. Jones.
698
00:44:00,888 --> 00:44:04,724
Who is the most famous man
of the 20th Century thus far?
699
00:44:05,476 --> 00:44:07,226
The most famous?
700
00:44:07,770 --> 00:44:09,896
Is that you, sir?
701
00:44:14,902 --> 00:44:16,694
(coughs then clears throat)
702
00:44:17,404 --> 00:44:20,740
Well, I suppose his notoriety
depends on the field that he is in.
703
00:44:20,908 --> 00:44:24,077
His field was in the clouds.
704
00:44:25,245 --> 00:44:27,205
Well, then Charles Lindbergh, sir.
705
00:44:30,501 --> 00:44:31,542
(chuckles)
706
00:44:31,710 --> 00:44:34,712
(phone ringing)
707
00:44:40,511 --> 00:44:41,552
Yes?
708
00:44:41,720 --> 00:44:44,681
MAN: (over phone) Charles Lindbergh's
baby has been kidnapped from his home.
709
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,434
Send officers from Trenton.
I'll be on the first train.
710
00:44:53,565 --> 00:44:54,774
What is it?
711
00:44:57,778 --> 00:45:00,738
Charles Lindbergh...
Lindbergh's baby's been kidnapped.
712
00:45:02,616 --> 00:45:03,700
You've got to find him.
713
00:45:06,078 --> 00:45:07,954
He has to be brought home alive.
714
00:45:09,206 --> 00:45:10,248
Yes, Mother.
715
00:45:13,585 --> 00:45:15,294
Yes, Mother, I know.
716
00:45:18,215 --> 00:45:22,927
HOOVER: When we arrived at Mr. Lindbergh's
home that morning in 1932...
717
00:45:23,095 --> 00:45:26,431
...we began an investigation that would
forever change our Bureau.
718
00:45:26,598 --> 00:45:29,892
This morning we've heard from
the Pennsylvania Railroad, Will Rogers...
719
00:45:30,060 --> 00:45:32,979
...President Hoover,
Governor Roosevelt, Customs...
720
00:45:33,147 --> 00:45:34,897
...the U.S. Mail, and the Boy Scouts.
721
00:45:35,065 --> 00:45:36,649
HOOVER:
All of you. Get off of that dirt.
722
00:45:36,817 --> 00:45:39,485
You're trampling evidence.
Immediately! Get off!
723
00:45:39,653 --> 00:45:42,613
There's nothing there. We checked.
No defined footprints.
724
00:45:42,781 --> 00:45:44,991
It appears he was wearing fabric
on his shoes.
725
00:45:45,159 --> 00:45:47,827
You don't think the size
could've held some value?
726
00:45:47,995 --> 00:45:51,330
How did he get up there? Are there
marks on the window and wall as well?
727
00:45:51,498 --> 00:45:53,458
A ladder.
We found it 100 yards away.
728
00:45:53,625 --> 00:45:55,084
We moved it inside.
729
00:45:55,252 --> 00:45:56,419
You moved it?
730
00:45:56,587 --> 00:45:58,171
Yes, for safekeeping.
731
00:45:58,338 --> 00:46:02,341
Congratulations, Mr. Schwarzkopf.
You have contaminated the crime scene.
732
00:46:02,509 --> 00:46:04,594
Now, get your boots off this property.
733
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:07,054
And what right do you have
to be here, Mister, uh...?
734
00:46:07,222 --> 00:46:09,849
J. Edgar Hoover,
director of the Bureau of investigation.
735
00:46:10,017 --> 00:46:13,019
We've been sent by President Hoover
to ensure the investigation...
736
00:46:13,187 --> 00:46:16,272
The president has authorized access
to all documents and evidence.
737
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,276
Mr. Hoover, you're free to observe, but
New Jersey's not the president's domain.
738
00:46:20,444 --> 00:46:24,030
And where is Mr. Lindbergh?
I'd like to hear his opinion on the matter.
739
00:46:24,198 --> 00:46:26,282
- Mr. Lindbergh's around back.
- After you, sir.
740
00:46:26,450 --> 00:46:28,117
He's been up all night.
741
00:46:28,285 --> 00:46:31,329
HOOVER: Mr. Lindbergh himself
came down to meet me.
742
00:46:31,497 --> 00:46:36,542
He shook my hand and expressed his
gratitude and faith in our young Bureau.
743
00:46:37,294 --> 00:46:39,295
He fell five feet.
744
00:46:39,463 --> 00:46:40,713
Who did?
745
00:46:42,841 --> 00:46:45,218
The kidnapper, with the child in his arms.
746
00:46:46,470 --> 00:46:48,179
That's speculation, Mr. Hoover.
747
00:46:48,347 --> 00:46:53,017
Mr. Lindbergh, sir, if the ladder had split
while the person was on their way up...
748
00:46:53,185 --> 00:46:55,978
...it would have collapsed.
You see, it was a miscalculation.
749
00:46:56,146 --> 00:47:00,691
It was meant to bear the weight of a man,
but not the weight of a man and child.
750
00:47:00,859 --> 00:47:01,901
We have other theories.
751
00:47:02,903 --> 00:47:04,028
Where's the ransom note?
752
00:47:04,988 --> 00:47:06,197
Of course.
753
00:47:07,825 --> 00:47:10,368
And you are touching that
with your bare hands as well?
754
00:47:10,536 --> 00:47:11,577
We checked.
755
00:47:11,745 --> 00:47:15,122
There are none of those finger imprints
that you fancy so valuable.
756
00:47:15,290 --> 00:47:17,083
Please hand it over, Mr. Schwarzkopf.
757
00:47:17,251 --> 00:47:19,919
00:47:29,011
"We will inform you where,"
spelled W-E-R-E, "to deliver the money"...
760
00:47:29,179 --> 00:47:30,513
...spelled M-O-N-Y.
761
00:47:30,681 --> 00:47:34,851
"We warn you for making anything public
or for notify the police.
762
00:47:35,018 --> 00:47:39,772
Indication for all letters are signature,"
S-l-N-G, "singnature."
763
00:47:40,691 --> 00:47:42,275
Three holes.
764
00:47:43,861 --> 00:47:45,945
I want this letter and the ladder.
765
00:47:46,113 --> 00:47:48,281
No jurisdiction.
I've showed what you asked for.
766
00:47:48,448 --> 00:47:50,867
- It's time for you to go.
- Mr. Lindbergh, please...
767
00:47:51,034 --> 00:47:54,412
Mr. Hoover, thank you. As you can see,
we have everything under control.
768
00:47:54,580 --> 00:47:56,372
Thank you, gentlemen.
769
00:47:56,540 --> 00:47:58,624
Thank you for your time, Mr. Lindbergh.
770
00:48:00,043 --> 00:48:01,085
Clyde.
771
00:48:09,845 --> 00:48:12,930
Clyde, I'm afraid for his boy.
772
00:48:13,348 --> 00:48:15,641
He trusts the local police more than us.
773
00:48:15,851 --> 00:48:17,310
He thinks we're all fools.
774
00:48:17,477 --> 00:48:21,397
He'll go around them too.
He's going to bargain with the kidnappers.
775
00:48:23,567 --> 00:48:26,611
President Hoover called me the morning
the child was taken...
776
00:48:26,778 --> 00:48:29,947
...and asked me to do whatever was
in my power to solve this crime.
777
00:48:30,115 --> 00:48:33,075
But do you know what all the power
of the Bureau means...
778
00:48:33,243 --> 00:48:38,205
...without federal laws, without arms,
without the ability to make arrests?
779
00:48:38,373 --> 00:48:40,207
It means nothing.
780
00:48:40,375 --> 00:48:43,961
Mr. Chairman, I urge passage
of the Lindbergh Law...
781
00:48:44,129 --> 00:48:46,505
...making kidnapping a federal offense.
782
00:48:46,673 --> 00:48:50,676
To immediately deliver all the fingerprints
in this country to my office...
783
00:48:50,844 --> 00:48:53,012
...so that we may create a central file.
784
00:48:53,180 --> 00:48:56,349
To help arm our agents
so that they have a fighting chance...
785
00:48:56,516 --> 00:49:00,353
...against the submachine guns of some
of the most dangerous characters...
786
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,480
...in the history of American criminality.
787
00:49:02,648 --> 00:49:06,067
And I urge you to do this
in the name of Little Lindy.
788
00:49:06,234 --> 00:49:09,528
Because if he can be taken,
then what child is safe?
789
00:49:09,696 --> 00:49:15,451
And if we cannot aid in his safe return,
then what use are we?
790
00:49:32,010 --> 00:49:33,636
(inaudible dialogue)
791
00:49:38,016 --> 00:49:40,142
HOOVER: Every fingerprint
from the local authorities...
792
00:49:40,310 --> 00:49:44,522
...across the country began flowing in.
Finally, we had a centralized system.
793
00:49:44,690 --> 00:49:46,232
What is it, Edgar?
794
00:49:47,651 --> 00:49:50,027
The last of the fingerprints came in
from Chicago.
795
00:49:52,072 --> 00:49:57,118
You know our new president has scheduled
a meeting with me, Miss Gandy?
796
00:49:58,578 --> 00:50:02,748
Do you know that there are talks
of reorganizing the Bureau?
797
00:50:03,375 --> 00:50:05,668
Yes, I've heard similar whispers.
798
00:50:05,836 --> 00:50:07,003
Hmm.
799
00:50:07,170 --> 00:50:08,754
Have you?
800
00:50:10,966 --> 00:50:15,094
Miss Gandy, do you remember that file
we created on his wife?
801
00:50:15,262 --> 00:50:16,846
Mrs. Roosevelt?
802
00:50:17,014 --> 00:50:18,597
Yes.
803
00:50:18,765 --> 00:50:20,933
Will you make a copy for me, please?
804
00:50:21,768 --> 00:50:23,602
Yes, of course.
805
00:50:25,272 --> 00:50:27,106
Thank you, Miss Gandy.
806
00:50:27,274 --> 00:50:29,400
(crowd cheering in distance)
807
00:51:00,766 --> 00:51:03,934
Lindbergh hired criminals to find his son.
808
00:51:04,227 --> 00:51:06,520
Off the desk now, Agent Garrison,
follow me.
809
00:51:06,688 --> 00:51:07,730
Yes, sir.
810
00:51:07,898 --> 00:51:10,983
He even got an offer from Al Capone
to help pay the ransom money...
811
00:51:11,151 --> 00:51:15,071
...but, in the end, he employed an
eccentric by the name of John Condon...
812
00:51:15,238 --> 00:51:19,492
...who placed a newspaper ad to act
as a go-between with the kidnappers.
813
00:51:19,659 --> 00:51:22,078
Now, was Condon a criminal too?
814
00:51:22,245 --> 00:51:25,623
He most certainly wasn't
an agent of the law, Mr. Garrison.
815
00:51:25,791 --> 00:51:27,333
Why are you doing this?
816
00:51:28,460 --> 00:51:30,920
So a mother may have her baby again.
817
00:51:31,546 --> 00:51:34,673
And you may know that the
American people are grateful...
818
00:51:34,841 --> 00:51:37,968
...for the honor bestowed upon them
by your pluck and daring.
819
00:51:38,136 --> 00:51:42,515
And how do we know the kidnapper is the
same that wrote the letters that you have?
820
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:47,770
The symbol, uh, matches
the original letter's symbol, doesn't it?
821
00:51:51,691 --> 00:51:53,484
What is it, Mr. Lindbergh?
822
00:51:56,696 --> 00:51:59,698
In a moment of thoughtlessness...
823
00:51:59,866 --> 00:52:02,034
...I showed the symbol
to some other men...
824
00:52:02,202 --> 00:52:05,037
...and I'm not sure
that they were trustworthy.
825
00:52:06,373 --> 00:52:08,165
I'm not sure anyone is trustworthy.
826
00:52:10,001 --> 00:52:11,877
I will be having your letters analyzed...
827
00:52:12,045 --> 00:52:15,381
...to make sure that they
are from the same author.
828
00:52:16,216 --> 00:52:19,552
HOOVER: And while Mr. Lindbergh
placed his faith in hoodlums...
829
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:23,222
...we began cultivating the one thing
criminals couldn't fight...
830
00:52:23,390 --> 00:52:25,057
...with all the guns in the world.
831
00:52:25,225 --> 00:52:29,353
Gentlemen, please leave this room.
Clear all these tables. Time to go, now.
832
00:52:29,521 --> 00:52:30,688
Where can we smoke, sir?
833
00:52:30,856 --> 00:52:32,439
Not my concern. Out of my sight.
834
00:52:32,607 --> 00:52:35,734
- Mr. Osborne, tell us what you need.
- Uh, bright lights, a microscope...
835
00:52:35,902 --> 00:52:38,404
...measuring instruments,
magnifying glasses. A, uh, projector.
836
00:52:38,572 --> 00:52:41,532
You have the full resources of the Bureau.
Don't be shy.
837
00:52:41,700 --> 00:52:43,826
Paper samples from
every regional manufacturer.
838
00:52:43,994 --> 00:52:47,621
Mr. Osborne, this is Mr. Tolson.
Supply Mr. Osborne whatever he needs...
839
00:52:47,789 --> 00:52:51,333
...to conclude without a doubt that
these letters came from the same author.
840
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:53,043
Hmm?
841
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,047
Gentlemen, please. Thank you.
842
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:02,887
- Should we tell the attorney general?
- So he can say no a third time?
843
00:53:03,054 --> 00:53:04,534
Just post a
sign, like this one.
844
00:53:04,558 --> 00:53:06,807
What would you like
it to say, "keep out"?
845
00:53:06,975 --> 00:53:09,560
"The Bureau of investigations
Technical Laboratory."
846
00:53:09,728 --> 00:53:11,600
Have it carved and
nailed to the wall. If
847
00:53:11,624 --> 00:53:13,731
he wants it gone,
he'll have to tear it out.
848
00:53:13,899 --> 00:53:16,901
It's time we at least have one thing
the bad guys don't.
849
00:53:17,068 --> 00:53:18,110
Decorating skills?
850
00:53:18,278 --> 00:53:19,820
Science, Clyde. Science.
851
00:53:19,988 --> 00:53:24,116
Uh, the ink is different,
but the handwriting is a match.
852
00:53:24,284 --> 00:53:29,079
Whoever Mr. Condon is corresponding with
is the person who wrote the original note.
853
00:53:29,247 --> 00:53:31,207
Or Condon wrote all the notes himself.
854
00:53:31,374 --> 00:53:34,001
Lindbergh is planning on using
Condon to deliver the ransom.
855
00:53:34,169 --> 00:53:36,629
- May have already happened.
- Call the internal Revenue Service.
856
00:53:36,796 --> 00:53:40,633
Get them to Lindbergh's home.
I insist that all those bills be marked.
857
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:41,884
Yes, sir.
858
00:53:42,052 --> 00:53:44,887
Is that all, Mr. Hoover?
I have a 2:30 p.m. class to teach.
859
00:53:45,055 --> 00:53:47,139
No, you don't.
Consider your pay doubled.
860
00:53:47,307 --> 00:53:52,144
You work for your country now,
Mr. Osborne. Congratulations.
861
00:53:54,731 --> 00:53:56,148
MAN:
Doctor!
862
00:54:06,576 --> 00:54:08,160
00:54:48,659
I'm only the messenger.
875
00:54:49,244 --> 00:54:50,995
Eh!
876
00:54:51,162 --> 00:54:52,997
MAN:
What if the baby is dead?
877
00:54:54,249 --> 00:54:55,874
Would I burn if the baby is dead?
878
00:54:57,544 --> 00:55:00,045
Why would we be meeting
if the baby was dead?
879
00:55:00,213 --> 00:55:03,507
Place another ad in the paper
when you have the money.
880
00:55:09,889 --> 00:55:14,226
HOOVER: So if a ransom had to be paid,
we needed those bills traced.
881
00:55:14,394 --> 00:55:18,564
We brought in the IRS, and, for his
own good, we had to force his hand.
882
00:55:18,732 --> 00:55:21,567
I thought gold notes were going
out of circulation, Mr. Irey.
883
00:55:21,735 --> 00:55:23,068
That's our hope.
884
00:55:23,236 --> 00:55:25,112
It'll make these bills more identifiable.
885
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,865
I have no need for the money.
I just want my son.
886
00:55:29,409 --> 00:55:32,369
This isn't just about your son,
Mr. Lindbergh.
887
00:55:32,537 --> 00:55:36,415
If these kidnappers go free,
then no child in this country will be safe.
888
00:55:36,583 --> 00:55:41,378
That's why I've assembled a 26-man team,
headed by Special Agent Sisk here.
889
00:55:41,546 --> 00:55:45,758
And if they find out you're involved,
I may never see my son again.
890
00:55:46,551 --> 00:55:49,470
Mr. Lindbergh, sir,
we will not pursue a single lead...
891
00:55:49,637 --> 00:55:51,930
...until your child is safe
in his mother's arms.
892
00:55:52,098 --> 00:55:54,850
You have my word, sir.
893
00:55:59,814 --> 00:56:01,565
(door opens)
894
00:56:01,733 --> 00:56:02,775
(door closes)
895
00:56:02,942 --> 00:56:05,944
ANNOUNCER: The kidnapping of
Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., was a tragedy...
896
00:56:06,112 --> 00:56:08,697
...not only to Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh,
but to the nation.
897
00:56:08,865 --> 00:56:11,950
His abduction from his Hopewell home
was a challenge to America.
898
00:56:12,118 --> 00:56:14,870
This ladder, the only clue
to the kidnapping, was homemade.
899
00:56:15,038 --> 00:56:17,956
Let the developments in the Lindbergh
case start a new drive...
900
00:56:18,124 --> 00:56:21,001
...to wipe out the stain,
not only of that wanton kidnapping...
901
00:56:21,169 --> 00:56:24,088
...but of all kidnapping and crimes.
902
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:28,217
MAN:
Hey, doctor!
903
00:56:29,219 --> 00:56:32,262
Give your word not to open for six hours.
904
00:56:34,474 --> 00:56:35,599
Thank you.
905
00:56:43,775 --> 00:56:45,943
I talked him out of 20,000 dollars.
906
00:56:46,111 --> 00:56:49,488
I'd prefer him happy than save the money.
I don't want to upset him.
907
00:56:50,573 --> 00:56:51,824
Where is the baby?
908
00:56:51,991 --> 00:56:54,576
I promised not to open this for six hours.
909
00:56:54,744 --> 00:56:57,329
You gave your word, I did not.
910
00:56:58,832 --> 00:57:03,293
"The boy is on boat Nelly.
It is a small boat, 28 feet long.
911
00:57:03,461 --> 00:57:06,505
Two persons are on the boat.
They are innocent.
912
00:57:06,673 --> 00:57:11,677
You'll find the boat between Horseneck's
Beach and Gay Head near Elizabeth island."
913
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,846
That's Nantucket, right?
914
00:57:17,851 --> 00:57:19,059
GARRISON:
What was in the boat?
915
00:57:19,227 --> 00:57:20,602
HOOVER:
There was no boat.
916
00:57:20,770 --> 00:57:23,439
Lindbergh didn't trust us.
He wanted to do things his way.
917
00:57:23,606 --> 00:57:27,192
And who can blame him?
No one respected us at that time.
918
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,069
Mr. Hoover, we've been calling.
919
00:57:29,237 --> 00:57:30,863
TOLSON:
Edgar.
920
00:57:33,450 --> 00:57:35,659
Time to go, Agent Garrison. Right now.
921
00:57:36,536 --> 00:57:39,705
The Attorney General has authorized
your wiretaps.
922
00:57:39,873 --> 00:57:41,707
Very good, Miss Gandy.
923
00:57:42,542 --> 00:57:46,712
Edgar, are you sure about this?
Once you do this, Edgar, it's done.
924
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,674
When I prove myself correct, we will have
saved this country another revolution.
925
00:57:50,842 --> 00:57:52,509
History will remember that, Clyde.
926
00:57:52,677 --> 00:57:53,886
But if you are wrong...
927
00:57:54,053 --> 00:57:57,389
...history will remember it as an
illegal move over a petty grudge.
928
00:57:57,557 --> 00:58:00,517
Do you consider our reputation petty,
Mr. Tolson?
929
00:58:00,685 --> 00:58:03,312
- No, I...
- Then order the wires.
930
00:58:04,814 --> 00:58:08,150
- Can we discuss this over dinner?
- After you've ordered the wires.
931
00:58:10,445 --> 00:58:11,987
Yes, sir.
932
00:58:21,998 --> 00:58:24,416
(phone rings)
933
00:58:24,584 --> 00:58:26,335
The director's on his way.
934
00:58:46,272 --> 00:58:47,648
(elevator bell dings)
935
00:58:49,817 --> 00:58:51,985
TOLSON: Ahem.
MAN: After you.
936
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:15,092
OFFICER:
Wait, please.
937
00:59:21,808 --> 00:59:24,768
01:00:03,473
ROOSEVELT:
Come in. Have a seat, Mr. Hoover.
946
01:00:06,519 --> 01:00:09,646
It's the same dance each time.
They make me wait.
947
01:00:09,814 --> 01:00:14,860
They imagine I'm sweating, that they're
gonna show me who's boss, I play along.
948
01:00:15,028 --> 01:00:16,653
Thank you.
949
01:00:16,821 --> 01:00:18,697
And then did you show him
the transcript?
950
01:00:18,865 --> 01:00:21,825
No. He didn't want to read it.
That was unique.
951
01:00:21,993 --> 01:00:24,202
He wanted me to tell him about it.
952
01:00:24,370 --> 01:00:26,079
What, how you came across it?
953
01:00:26,247 --> 01:00:30,375
No, I explained to him up front
we never expected to find Mrs. Roosevelt...
954
01:00:30,543 --> 01:00:32,961
...in the bedroom of
a known communist agitator...
955
01:00:33,129 --> 01:00:36,548
...much less having what sounded like
an intimate moment.
956
01:00:36,716 --> 01:00:39,718
That I needed his advice
on how to proceed.
957
01:00:39,886 --> 01:00:42,346
I wanted to let him know he had an ally.
958
01:00:42,513 --> 01:00:44,514
Before he had a chance
to ask you to resign.
959
01:00:44,682 --> 01:00:45,932
Exactly.
960
01:00:46,100 --> 01:00:48,894
When I was finished,
he simply pushed the file aside...
961
01:00:49,062 --> 01:00:53,315
...as if he was unconcerned with it.
962
01:00:53,483 --> 01:00:57,361
Clyde, the President of the United States
is afraid.
963
01:00:58,488 --> 01:01:00,072
What, he's afraid of you?
964
01:01:00,239 --> 01:01:04,117
Of a potential invasion from abroad.
965
01:01:04,994 --> 01:01:07,579
We'll have two glasses
of your finest champagne.
966
01:01:07,747 --> 01:01:09,206
Of course, Mr. Hoover.
967
01:01:10,083 --> 01:01:12,584
HOOVER: Ahem.
- You're drinking now?
968
01:01:12,752 --> 01:01:14,753
We're celebrating, Clyde,
we're celebrating.
969
01:01:15,546 --> 01:01:18,131
You know I feel I could trust you
with anything, right?
970
01:01:18,299 --> 01:01:19,925
Well, I'd like to think so.
971
01:01:22,303 --> 01:01:24,971
The president signed a secret order...
972
01:01:25,139 --> 01:01:27,432
...granting me increased power
of surveillance...
973
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:32,354
...secret surveillance of communists
and radicals, without warrant.
974
01:01:33,064 --> 01:01:34,106
Is that legal?
975
01:01:34,273 --> 01:01:36,692
Sometimes you need
to bend the rules a little...
976
01:01:36,859 --> 01:01:39,277
...in order to keep
your country safe, right?
977
01:01:39,445 --> 01:01:41,664
And to make sure I
hadn't heard it wrong, I
978
01:01:41,688 --> 01:01:43,907
clarified this with
Secretary of State Hull.
979
01:01:44,075 --> 01:01:48,412
And he said, and I quote, "You go ahead
and investigate those cocksuckers."
980
01:01:49,664 --> 01:01:52,708
- Vulgar.
- Hmm, agreed.
981
01:01:53,918 --> 01:01:54,960
(sniffs)
982
01:01:55,128 --> 01:01:56,712
Clyde...
983
01:01:57,463 --> 01:01:59,464
...I've been meaning
to ask you something.
984
01:02:00,174 --> 01:02:01,466
Feel free.
985
01:02:02,301 --> 01:02:05,804
I need someone who understands
what's at stake here...
986
01:02:05,972 --> 01:02:07,264
...you understand?
987
01:02:07,432 --> 01:02:09,975
Someone who I can trust...
988
01:02:11,144 --> 01:02:12,978
...an associate director of the Bureau.
989
01:02:13,146 --> 01:02:16,606
I know you've only been in your
current position for, what, 12 months now.
990
01:02:16,774 --> 01:02:18,650
Oh, almost 18 now, sir.
991
01:02:18,818 --> 01:02:21,236
You're missing my point, Clyde.
992
01:02:21,404 --> 01:02:23,488
I want you to be my number-two man.
993
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:29,077
I'm not much for the spotlight, Edgar.
994
01:02:32,498 --> 01:02:34,374
I need you, Clyde.
995
01:02:34,792 --> 01:02:36,501
Do you understand? I need you.
996
01:02:39,672 --> 01:02:41,631
On one condition.
997
01:02:42,258 --> 01:02:45,260
Good day or bad,
whether we agree or disagree...
998
01:02:45,428 --> 01:02:49,347
...we never miss a lunch
or a dinner together.
999
01:02:50,183 --> 01:02:52,684
Well, I would have it no other way.
1000
01:03:02,195 --> 01:03:04,488
Hey, pull over.
1001
01:03:04,655 --> 01:03:07,949
- Only a half a mile to Mount Rose.
- Can't wait.
1002
01:03:09,535 --> 01:03:12,496
(grunts)
1003
01:03:22,715 --> 01:03:24,341
(sighs)
1004
01:03:38,064 --> 01:03:39,064
Orville!
1005
01:03:45,571 --> 01:03:47,572
(thunder rumbling)
1006
01:03:52,954 --> 01:03:57,415
HOOVER: In the end, the child's body
was found just within sight...
1007
01:03:57,583 --> 01:03:59,668
...of Mr. Lindbergh's home.
1008
01:04:01,087 --> 01:04:02,921
The body was blackened...
1009
01:04:03,089 --> 01:04:06,049
...the left leg missing
from the knee down.
1010
01:04:06,676 --> 01:04:09,594
There was a visible fracture on the skull.
1011
01:04:10,096 --> 01:04:13,265
He'd suffered a violent blow to the head.
I told them months ago.
1012
01:04:13,432 --> 01:04:17,727
He must've fallen on the way down,
with the baby in his arms.
1013
01:04:18,771 --> 01:04:21,231
ANNA:
We are the sinners, Edgar.
1014
01:04:24,193 --> 01:04:29,114
We tolerated lawlessness in the land
until it grew to diabolical proportions.
1015
01:04:30,783 --> 01:04:33,952
The baby's blood is on all our hands,
Edgar.
1016
01:04:35,454 --> 01:04:37,497
On your hands, Edgar.
1017
01:04:43,796 --> 01:04:45,213
Yes, Mother.
1018
01:04:48,801 --> 01:04:50,510
(thunder rumbling)
1019
01:04:58,519 --> 01:05:00,353
HOOVER:
Six weeks after the kidnapping...
1020
01:05:00,521 --> 01:05:02,355
...Congress passed the Lindbergh Law...
1021
01:05:02,523 --> 01:05:05,275
...making kidnapping a federal offense.
1022
01:05:05,443 --> 01:05:09,321
The right to make arrests followed
and the right to bear arms.
1023
01:05:09,488 --> 01:05:13,950
So I continued collecting the finest
scientific minds in the country.
1024
01:05:16,787 --> 01:05:20,123
He claims to be the world expert
on wood analysis.
1025
01:05:20,541 --> 01:05:24,419
It's easy to be the expert if you're the
only person in the world with any interest.
1026
01:05:24,587 --> 01:05:26,922
He does claim he can tell
as much from a cut of wood...
1027
01:05:27,089 --> 01:05:29,257
- ...as a doctor can from an autopsy.
- Ah.
1028
01:05:29,425 --> 01:05:31,843
He has, um, social difficulties.
1029
01:05:32,011 --> 01:05:34,179
He is mentally ill, isn't he?
1030
01:05:34,347 --> 01:05:37,682
He's only as mad as you are. Sir.
1031
01:05:38,517 --> 01:05:41,269
This was supposed to be temporary,
Mr. Hoover.
1032
01:05:41,437 --> 01:05:43,605
If you want your Sherlock Holmes
playing time...
1033
01:05:43,773 --> 01:05:46,358
Where do you suggest we go, sir, where?
1034
01:05:46,525 --> 01:05:48,443
I suggest you take your case
to Congress.
1035
01:05:48,611 --> 01:05:49,903
Fine, sir. Have it your way.
1036
01:05:50,071 --> 01:05:52,519
I'll tell people we
could not solve the case
1037
01:05:52,543 --> 01:05:54,991
because we could
not afford laboratories...
1038
01:05:55,159 --> 01:05:58,078
...and the Attorney General
wouldn't allow us to use his lounge.
1039
01:05:58,245 --> 01:06:01,706
Fine. Now get your science fair project
out of here.
1040
01:06:01,874 --> 01:06:03,625
Yes, sir. Right away, sir.
1041
01:06:06,212 --> 01:06:07,295
Gentlemen, keep working.
1042
01:06:07,463 --> 01:06:10,507
Mr. Tolson,
let's get the president on the phone.
1043
01:06:12,885 --> 01:06:17,722
The depravations of vicious outlaws, roving
from state to state like packs of wolves...
1044
01:06:17,932 --> 01:06:20,600
...amounts to an actual
armed invasion of America.
1045
01:06:20,768 --> 01:06:24,521
We must outsmart and outwit the criminal,
foreign and domestic.
1046
01:06:24,689 --> 01:06:28,650
They have chemists building bombs.
We need chemists tracing their efforts.
1047
01:06:28,818 --> 01:06:31,569
We must have the most advanced
force in the world...
1048
01:06:31,737 --> 01:06:34,155
...if we are to have the safest nation
on earth.
1049
01:06:34,323 --> 01:06:37,909
And, please, gentlemen, let us not
for a moment lose sight of our goals.
1050
01:06:38,077 --> 01:06:39,536
To protect the honest citizen...
1051
01:06:39,704 --> 01:06:43,581
...to teach the criminal that
regardless of his subterfuges...
1052
01:06:43,749 --> 01:06:46,334
...his twisting, his squirming
and slimy wriggling...
1053
01:06:46,502 --> 01:06:49,796
...he cannot escape the one
inexorable rule of law enforcement...
1054
01:06:49,964 --> 01:06:51,923
...that you can't get away with it.
1055
01:06:52,091 --> 01:06:53,758
Thank you.
1056
01:06:53,926 --> 01:06:54,926
MAN:
Thank you, Mr. Hoover.
1057
01:06:55,094 --> 01:07:01,016
But your agency is already one of the most
well-funded in Washington, is it not?
1058
01:07:01,183 --> 01:07:02,684
Yes, that is true, sir...
1059
01:07:02,852 --> 01:07:06,771
...but our car and bank robbery recoveries
totaled 6.5 million last year...
1060
01:07:06,939 --> 01:07:09,399
...and our budget is only,
well, two million.
1061
01:07:09,567 --> 01:07:13,111
Unlike other departments in Washington,
we actually run a profit.
1062
01:07:13,279 --> 01:07:15,113
(all chuckle)
1063
01:07:15,281 --> 01:07:17,782
We cannot quantify
the value of our successes...
1064
01:07:17,950 --> 01:07:22,037
...with the hoodlums Pretty Boy Floyd,
Baby Face Nelson, Machine Gun Kelly...
1065
01:07:22,204 --> 01:07:24,330
...and other hoodlums of that nature.
1066
01:07:24,498 --> 01:07:30,128
Mr. Hoover, is it true that you spend
the Bureau's money on advertising?
1067
01:07:31,922 --> 01:07:36,301
We are not permitted to engage
in advertising of any kind, sir. No.
1068
01:07:36,469 --> 01:07:40,972
But you take part, for instance, in the
making of radio shows and comic books.
1069
01:07:41,140 --> 01:07:43,641
I've listened to several
of these G-Men programs.
1070
01:07:43,809 --> 01:07:48,063
Your picture seems to be shown
in conjunction with them quite frequently.
1071
01:07:49,315 --> 01:07:53,193
We declined emphatically to lend
any form of endorsement...
1072
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:55,705
...had nothing to do
with their production,
1073
01:07:55,729 --> 01:07:58,073
furnished no advice,
technical or otherwise.
1074
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:01,451
Well, the very advertisement says
that broadcasts were...
1075
01:08:01,619 --> 01:08:05,830
..."true reflections,
as contained in the official records...
1076
01:08:05,998 --> 01:08:09,751
...based on actual cases from the files
of the Federal Bureau of investigation...
1077
01:08:09,919 --> 01:08:11,961
...Saturday night at 8:00."
1078
01:08:13,130 --> 01:08:15,673
Mr. Hoover,
what are your exact qualifications...
1079
01:08:15,841 --> 01:08:18,343
...for your position of leadership
in this Bureau?
1080
01:08:18,511 --> 01:08:19,761
My qualifications, sir?
1081
01:08:19,929 --> 01:08:23,807
Nineteen years with the
Department of Justice. Nineteen.
1082
01:08:23,974 --> 01:08:25,517
Twelve as director.
1083
01:08:25,684 --> 01:08:29,312
In all that time,
you ever make an arrest yourself?
1084
01:08:31,023 --> 01:08:35,443
I have made investigations.
I administer several cases at once.
1085
01:08:36,612 --> 01:08:38,029
Well, that's not what I asked.
1086
01:08:38,197 --> 01:08:42,867
The comic books show you with a machine
gun, making arrests. Is that just fiction?
1087
01:08:46,539 --> 01:08:48,164
(clears throat)
1088
01:08:49,834 --> 01:08:52,377
I am responsible for
thousands of arrests, sir.
1089
01:08:53,587 --> 01:08:56,881
So you admit it is pure fiction.
1090
01:08:57,466 --> 01:09:02,220
In fact, it wasn't you who hunted down
and captured John Dillinger at all.
1091
01:09:02,513 --> 01:09:05,140
It was Agent Purvis. Is that correct?
1092
01:09:06,392 --> 01:09:10,520
I was in charge of all of those
investigations...
1093
01:09:10,855 --> 01:09:14,899
...but, no, sir, I have not personally
made an arrest.
1094
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:23,241
Any other questions, gentlemen?
1095
01:09:24,243 --> 01:09:26,369
MAN:
Let's bring it to a vote.
1096
01:09:29,874 --> 01:09:31,332
Put those away.
1097
01:09:36,422 --> 01:09:37,839
TOLSON:
Well, that didn't go well.
1098
01:09:38,007 --> 01:09:40,758
We spend our lives working
and we get a political attack?
1099
01:09:40,926 --> 01:09:44,429
What does he expect, crimes to go
unsolved? Why is he fighting me?
1100
01:09:44,597 --> 01:09:46,681
I want you to start a file
on Senator McKellar.
1101
01:09:46,849 --> 01:09:48,641
I want four agents on him at all times.
1102
01:09:48,809 --> 01:09:51,769
I want to know what's in his trash,
photograph him at dinner.
1103
01:09:51,937 --> 01:09:55,607
Don't get in the car. You can walk back.
1104
01:09:55,774 --> 01:09:58,276
We have lunch.
We don't miss lunch, no matter what.
1105
01:09:58,444 --> 01:10:00,278
You pulled away from me in there.
1106
01:10:00,446 --> 01:10:03,781
You perjured yourself, Edgar,
and the lie was an easily provable one.
1107
01:10:03,949 --> 01:10:05,950
There's no telling
how much worse it could've been.
1108
01:10:06,118 --> 01:10:09,996
Find Agent Purvis. He is to be
demoted immediately or, better yet, fired.
1109
01:10:10,164 --> 01:10:12,832
Firing the man who killed John Dillinger
would be a PR disaster.
1110
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,251
Then he is to spend the rest of his career
behind a desk.
1111
01:10:15,419 --> 01:10:19,339
And if he'd like to keep that job,
he'd best stay out of the papers. Go.
1112
01:10:29,225 --> 01:10:32,060
I don't know who I can trust anymore.
1113
01:10:33,896 --> 01:10:34,979
Only you.
1114
01:10:37,483 --> 01:10:38,942
Only you, Mother.
1115
01:10:39,652 --> 01:10:43,154
You're all I have to keep me safe,
you understand that?
1116
01:10:44,198 --> 01:10:46,407
Please, Mother,
let me take you to a doctor.
1117
01:10:46,575 --> 01:10:49,619
A simple examination isn't unholy, is it?
1118
01:10:51,497 --> 01:10:52,538
Mother.
1119
01:10:54,833 --> 01:10:55,959
Mother, please.
1120
01:10:58,837 --> 01:11:01,172
Faith, Edgar.
1121
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:03,258
Faith.
1122
01:11:04,843 --> 01:11:07,637
Don't wilt like a little flower.
1123
01:11:08,347 --> 01:11:09,722
Be strong.
1124
01:11:10,766 --> 01:11:12,267
Yes, Mother.
1125
01:11:14,645 --> 01:11:19,607
I will.
1126
01:11:24,113 --> 01:11:28,157
01:11:58,396
Move.
1137
01:11:58,564 --> 01:12:01,024
Mr. Karpis, you are under arrest.
1138
01:12:02,234 --> 01:12:06,029
Mr. Hoover himself.
I'm gonna be famous.
1139
01:12:06,905 --> 01:12:08,698
Put the handcuffs on him.
1140
01:12:10,659 --> 01:12:12,618
(gun cocks)
1141
01:12:13,662 --> 01:12:15,705
Don't move, Mr. Mahan.
1142
01:12:16,749 --> 01:12:18,166
Blow it down.
1143
01:12:21,879 --> 01:12:22,920
Move.
1144
01:12:23,380 --> 01:12:24,422
(door opens)
1145
01:12:28,719 --> 01:12:30,511
(explosion)
1146
01:12:32,348 --> 01:12:34,557
(man coughing)
1147
01:12:34,725 --> 01:12:37,101
Mr. Brunette, you are under arrest.
1148
01:12:37,269 --> 01:12:39,172
Alvin Karpis got
he couldn't be taken
1149
01:12:39,196 --> 01:12:41,564
alive, but we took him
without firing a shot.
1150
01:12:41,732 --> 01:12:45,568
And let me tell you, he shook all over.
His voice, his hands, and his knees.
1151
01:12:45,736 --> 01:12:48,780
You arrested Harry Campbell in Toledo
and Brunette in Manhattan?
1152
01:12:48,947 --> 01:12:50,448
And William Mahan in California.
1153
01:12:50,657 --> 01:12:53,159
But let me clarify
without a shadow of a doubt...
1154
01:12:53,327 --> 01:12:55,912
...this was a "we" job, not an "I" job.
1155
01:13:02,711 --> 01:13:05,463
Edgar, look at this.
We made the Post Toasties box.
1156
01:13:06,465 --> 01:13:09,801
"Melvin Purvis,
the FBI agent that caught Dillinger."
1157
01:13:10,511 --> 01:13:12,303
Write the cereal-maker.
Let them know...
1158
01:13:13,222 --> 01:13:15,640
Oh. "Junior G-Man." Hmm.
1159
01:13:15,808 --> 01:13:20,978
Tell them they ought to print any further
boxes to read "former agent of the FBI."
1160
01:13:21,647 --> 01:13:23,564
Sit down, Clyde.
I'm gonna read something.
1161
01:13:27,986 --> 01:13:29,779
"Only eight more days.
1162
01:13:29,947 --> 01:13:32,990
Funny how even the dearest face
will fade away in time.
1163
01:13:33,158 --> 01:13:34,867
Most clearly, I remember your eyes...
1164
01:13:35,035 --> 01:13:39,247
...with a sort of teasing smile in them,
and the feeling of that soft spot...
1165
01:13:39,415 --> 01:13:43,000
...just northeast of the corner
of your mouth against my lips."
1166
01:13:43,168 --> 01:13:44,585
TOLSON:
What is it?
1167
01:13:44,753 --> 01:13:46,379
It's a letter from Lorena Hickok...
1168
01:13:46,547 --> 01:13:50,633
...the White House reporter with
the bad breath, to Mrs. Roosevelt.
1169
01:13:51,301 --> 01:13:54,178
No. What are you gonna do with it?
1170
01:13:54,346 --> 01:13:56,931
Nothing. I accused her
of having an affair with a man...
1171
01:13:57,099 --> 01:14:00,017
...and Old Horse Face is having
an affair with Mrs. Bat Breath!
1172
01:14:00,185 --> 01:14:01,185
(chuckling)
1173
01:14:01,353 --> 01:14:03,771
- A woman! Can you believe it?
- Mm.
1174
01:14:03,939 --> 01:14:05,231
(laughing)
1175
01:14:05,399 --> 01:14:06,941
(knocking on door)
1176
01:14:08,193 --> 01:14:11,362
Oh, excuse me, Mr. Hoover.
They'd like to see you in the laboratory.
1177
01:14:11,530 --> 01:14:14,782
Yes, Miss Gandy. You tell them
I'll be there in one minute. Thank you.
1178
01:14:15,033 --> 01:14:16,200
We'll get to this later.
1179
01:14:16,827 --> 01:14:21,497
Speaking of horses, Clyde,
I'm going to Del Mar this weekend.
1180
01:14:22,332 --> 01:14:24,333
I was thinking of taking
a quick vacation...
1181
01:14:24,501 --> 01:14:27,670
...and, well,
I thought you'd like to join me.
1182
01:14:27,838 --> 01:14:30,047
Well, I've never been
to the horse races, Edgar.
1183
01:14:30,215 --> 01:14:31,299
Well, it's wonderful.
1184
01:14:31,467 --> 01:14:36,721
And between me and you, when I lose,
the track, they actually cover the losses.
1185
01:14:36,889 --> 01:14:40,558
- So, what happens if you win?
- They still pay.
1186
01:14:40,726 --> 01:14:41,809
Then where's the thrill?
1187
01:14:41,977 --> 01:14:45,855
In the sun that falls on the stands,
the hotel rooms, the service...
1188
01:14:46,023 --> 01:14:49,400
...the restaurants, but, most of all,
Clyde, it's the company.
1189
01:14:51,069 --> 01:14:53,154
- Come with me.
- I'd love to.
1190
01:14:53,322 --> 01:14:56,491
Fantastic. I'll have Miss Gandy
make all the arrangements.
1191
01:14:56,658 --> 01:14:59,911
Well, I can't go now. But maybe
in a couple months after I've saved up.
1192
01:15:00,078 --> 01:15:03,414
- It's completely covered, Clyde.
- Edgar, I can't let you do that.
1193
01:15:03,582 --> 01:15:07,835
Listen, you've done so much for me,
for this Bureau. Consider it a thank you.
1194
01:15:08,003 --> 01:15:10,171
I don't know that I'd feel comfortable.
1195
01:15:11,340 --> 01:15:14,217
Tell you what, Clyde,
I'll get a suite with adjoining rooms...
1196
01:15:14,384 --> 01:15:17,887
...rather than having us stay separate.
That'll be savings enough.
1197
01:15:18,347 --> 01:15:19,388
Deal.
1198
01:15:20,182 --> 01:15:21,933
What do you have for me, Mr. Koehler?
1199
01:15:22,100 --> 01:15:25,436
Well, as you can see, ahem,
there are several kinds of wood here.
1200
01:15:25,604 --> 01:15:29,941
Pine, birch, fir, and, if you look closely,
you will see...
1201
01:15:30,108 --> 01:15:31,275
- Thank you.
- Mr. Tolson.
1202
01:15:31,443 --> 01:15:35,112
That each has its own internal markings,
rings and knots...
1203
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:39,116
...and its own external markings from the
machinery used to mill the raw timber...
1204
01:15:39,284 --> 01:15:42,703
...and these that mark the tools
used to build the ladder.
1205
01:15:42,871 --> 01:15:46,958
The question is, how does this help us
identify the kidnappers, Mr. Koehler?
1206
01:15:47,125 --> 01:15:48,751
I need more money, sir.
1207
01:15:48,919 --> 01:15:51,420
- More money, sir, for what?
- Postage.
1208
01:15:51,588 --> 01:15:54,090
I need to write every mill
on the East Coast...
1209
01:15:54,258 --> 01:15:57,635
...and see if their blades
match these marks.
1210
01:15:57,803 --> 01:15:59,178
Hmm.
1211
01:15:59,638 --> 01:16:02,807
I want a report from each mill
and a map tracking all leads.
1212
01:16:02,975 --> 01:16:06,310
By the time I get back from New York,
I want something to report.
1213
01:16:06,478 --> 01:16:07,645
Good day.
1214
01:16:16,655 --> 01:16:18,823
01:16:56,027
(all chattering indistinctly)
1225
01:16:59,698 --> 01:17:00,865
MAN:
Miss Temple!
1226
01:17:01,033 --> 01:17:04,744
Mr. Hoover, I was wondering
if you would join my police force.
1227
01:17:04,911 --> 01:17:06,287
Why, yes, Miss Temple.
1228
01:17:06,455 --> 01:17:10,666
If you agree to be an honorary G-Woman,
and give me one little kiss.
1229
01:17:11,501 --> 01:17:14,045
I don't know if your wife would approve,
Mr. Hoover.
1230
01:17:14,212 --> 01:17:15,463
(both chuckle)
1231
01:17:15,631 --> 01:17:17,798
But, you see,
I still live with my mother.
1232
01:17:18,884 --> 01:17:21,469
01:19:27,845
Of course.
1266
01:19:28,013 --> 01:19:30,473
The gold notes from
the ransom money have surfaced.
1267
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:32,349
And can you guess where?
1268
01:19:32,517 --> 01:19:34,018
Tell us. Please, Mr. Hoover.
1269
01:19:34,186 --> 01:19:36,395
In the Bronx, on three occasions.
1270
01:19:36,563 --> 01:19:38,439
And each one of the shop owners claim...
1271
01:19:38,607 --> 01:19:42,860
...they received them from a man with
a pointed chin and a German accent.
1272
01:19:45,363 --> 01:19:48,199
Take my word for it, Mr. Hoover.
1273
01:19:48,366 --> 01:19:51,202
All the admiration in the world
can't fill the spot love goes.
1274
01:19:51,369 --> 01:19:52,411
Hmm.
1275
01:19:52,579 --> 01:19:54,205
Or keep your bed warm.
1276
01:19:56,708 --> 01:19:58,584
I serve my country, Miss Colby.
1277
01:19:58,752 --> 01:20:01,796
The nation's admiration
is more than enough for me. Heh.
1278
01:20:02,464 --> 01:20:05,216
But it likely makes for a cold bed.
1279
01:20:06,718 --> 01:20:10,179
Mr. Hoover, would it be out of the question
to bother you for a dance?
1280
01:20:10,347 --> 01:20:12,223
Oh, uh, how do you mean?
1281
01:20:13,475 --> 01:20:15,309
Well, simply a dance.
1282
01:20:15,602 --> 01:20:17,311
You do dance, don't you?
1283
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:20,981
Well, that is a skill
that, um, I haven't yet mastered.
1284
01:20:21,191 --> 01:20:24,318
And the night is getting long,
isn't it, Mr. Tolson? Mr. Tolson?
1285
01:20:24,486 --> 01:20:27,196
No time like the present.
It's my favorite song, come on.
1286
01:20:27,364 --> 01:20:29,865
It's time we leave.
Uh, we have a great deal of work.
1287
01:20:30,033 --> 01:20:32,243
We... We...
We have a great deal of work tomorrow...
1288
01:20:32,410 --> 01:20:36,163
...and I'm afraid we don't have time
to dance. We're very busy, aren't we?
1289
01:20:36,331 --> 01:20:37,623
Yes.
1290
01:20:37,791 --> 01:20:40,084
And my sincere apologies. I...
1291
01:20:40,252 --> 01:20:42,211
Right now, Mr. Tolson.
Thank you very much.
1292
01:20:42,379 --> 01:20:43,838
- Good evening.
LELA: Ha, ha.
1293
01:20:44,005 --> 01:20:45,256
Good night.
1294
01:20:45,423 --> 01:20:47,258
(both chuckle)
1295
01:20:49,302 --> 01:20:50,511
I don't...
1296
01:20:51,263 --> 01:20:52,304
I...
1297
01:20:52,472 --> 01:20:55,266
I don't... I don't like to...
I don't like to dance, Mother.
1298
01:20:55,433 --> 01:20:58,394
- I don't like to da...
- Edgar, go look in the mirror.
1299
01:20:58,562 --> 01:21:01,689
Talk the way the doctor taught you to.
Be my little Speedy.
1300
01:21:09,489 --> 01:21:11,949
(sighs)
1301
01:21:12,784 --> 01:21:14,952
I can spit my words out with... With...
1302
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:16,203
(exhales)
1303
01:21:16,371 --> 01:21:19,790
I can spit my words out with precision,
diction, and clarity.
1304
01:21:19,958 --> 01:21:24,461
I can sp... Spit my words out
with precision, diction, and clarity.
1305
01:21:26,423 --> 01:21:32,386
I'm a proficient, remarkable lad,
capable of remarkable feats.
1306
01:21:32,554 --> 01:21:35,472
I'm a profic... Mother.
Mother, I don't like to dance.
1307
01:21:36,641 --> 01:21:39,393
Mostly I don't like to dance with women.
1308
01:21:39,561 --> 01:21:41,520
I think it's time you knew this.
1309
01:21:41,688 --> 01:21:44,315
And I find it humiliating
and I refuse to be humiliated.
1310
01:21:44,482 --> 01:21:46,650
Edgar, stop.
1311
01:21:47,986 --> 01:21:49,486
Do you remember Barton Pincus?
1312
01:21:51,197 --> 01:21:52,781
Yes, Mother.
1313
01:21:52,949 --> 01:21:54,992
His father was a watchmaker.
1314
01:21:55,660 --> 01:21:58,871
He was 10 years younger than me
and you used to call him...
1315
01:22:00,790 --> 01:22:03,834
...Birdy or Daffy
or something to that effect.
1316
01:22:04,002 --> 01:22:06,503
And do you remember
what happened to Daffy?
1317
01:22:06,671 --> 01:22:10,841
After the school custodian discovered him
in a hoop skirt and flower bonnet?
1318
01:22:13,011 --> 01:22:15,512
He was made to stand outside
in front of the school...
1319
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:18,849
...wearing the bonnet and skirt
as punishment.
1320
01:22:19,559 --> 01:22:22,019
Did you ever wonder why
we called him Daffy?
1321
01:22:23,229 --> 01:22:26,857
For his odd behavior, I believe.
1322
01:22:28,068 --> 01:22:30,736
It's short for "daffodil," Edgar.
1323
01:22:32,530 --> 01:22:34,990
Do you remember what happened
to Daffodil Pincus?
1324
01:22:36,618 --> 01:22:38,035
Yes, Mother. He...
1325
01:22:39,204 --> 01:22:41,080
He shot himself six weeks after.
1326
01:22:41,247 --> 01:22:42,289
That's right.
1327
01:22:43,208 --> 01:22:47,211
And I thank God every day that my own
sons don't suffer from his condition.
1328
01:22:48,213 --> 01:22:49,463
Edgar.
1329
01:22:51,424 --> 01:22:54,551
I'd rather have a dead son
than a daffodil for a son.
1330
01:22:59,391 --> 01:23:02,726
And now, I'm gonna teach you to dance.
1331
01:23:06,773 --> 01:23:08,148
Yes, Mother.
1332
01:23:15,031 --> 01:23:16,657
(hoover humming)
1333
01:23:42,976 --> 01:23:45,436
- Bring this right over here, please.
- Sure, sir.
1334
01:23:46,271 --> 01:23:49,773
All right. Now, when did you get
this shipment?
1335
01:23:50,483 --> 01:23:54,778
It's a long while back.
I'm thinking, uh, November 1931.
1336
01:23:55,822 --> 01:23:57,823
Three months before the kidnapping.
1337
01:23:59,325 --> 01:24:00,701
All right. Thank you.
1338
01:24:00,910 --> 01:24:04,371
The lumberyard is a cash business,
there aren't any receipts or names.
1339
01:24:04,539 --> 01:24:07,416
It tells us where he was shopping
before we were looking.
1340
01:24:07,584 --> 01:24:10,461
Show me the addresses of where
the ransom bills have shown up.
1341
01:24:10,628 --> 01:24:13,047
01:28:15,122
...for a long time.
1406
01:28:15,290 --> 01:28:17,082
(recording fast-forwarding)
1407
01:28:19,627 --> 01:28:20,961
WOMAN:
Slow down a little bit.
1408
01:28:21,129 --> 01:28:22,170
MAN:
All right.
1409
01:28:22,714 --> 01:28:24,256
(both moaning)
1410
01:28:24,424 --> 01:28:26,049
WOMAN:
Let me take this off.
1411
01:28:26,676 --> 01:28:28,051
MAN:
Turn around.
1412
01:28:30,722 --> 01:28:31,972
WOMAN:
You got it?
1413
01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:40,564
(both moaning)
1414
01:28:48,865 --> 01:28:50,490
(intercom buzzes)
1415
01:28:54,203 --> 01:28:56,580
Miss Gandy, I told you
I am not to be disturbed.
1416
01:28:56,748 --> 01:28:58,373
HELEN: (over phone)
I'm sorry. Mr. Hoover?
1417
01:28:58,541 --> 01:29:02,169
Yes, it's urgent. I have Agent Shanklin
on the line from Dallas.
1418
01:29:02,337 --> 01:29:03,920
SHANKLIN:
My apologies, Mr. Hoover.
1419
01:29:04,088 --> 01:29:05,630
I told Miss Gandy to put me through.
1420
01:29:05,798 --> 01:29:08,091
What is it, Agent Shanklin?
1421
01:29:08,551 --> 01:29:11,636
Sir, the president has been shot.
1422
01:29:13,639 --> 01:29:15,015
Who else knows about this?
1423
01:29:15,183 --> 01:29:18,643
No one, sir. I thought you should know
before the press reports it.
1424
01:29:19,771 --> 01:29:22,064
- Thank you, Agent Shanklin.
- Yes, sir.
1425
01:29:29,530 --> 01:29:31,948
MAN: (on recording)
Oh, that feels so good.
1426
01:29:58,059 --> 01:30:00,644
Get me Robert Kennedy immediately.
1427
01:30:07,193 --> 01:30:08,485
Mr. Hoover?
1428
01:30:09,112 --> 01:30:12,739
Mr. Kennedy,
the president has been shot.
1429
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:15,242
What?
1430
01:30:15,785 --> 01:30:17,828
Mr. Hoover? What?
1431
01:30:20,498 --> 01:30:21,832
Mr. Hoover?
1432
01:30:30,675 --> 01:30:32,676
(bell rings)
1433
01:30:32,844 --> 01:30:34,886
01:30:58,368
I'm not sure if I bet on that one.
1442
01:30:58,536 --> 01:31:01,705
Ah. We lost again, Clyde.
1443
01:31:01,914 --> 01:31:04,332
ANNOUNCER:
Dextro back by a half-length on the rail.
1444
01:31:04,500 --> 01:31:07,586
Dextro now making his move.
Findlay gives him the whip.
1445
01:31:07,753 --> 01:31:09,504
Oh, there he goes, there he goes!
1446
01:31:09,672 --> 01:31:11,548
Come on, Dextro, come on, Dextro!
1447
01:31:11,716 --> 01:31:13,383
(all cheering)
1448
01:31:14,510 --> 01:31:16,219
(announcer speaking indistinctly
over pa)
1449
01:31:36,157 --> 01:31:38,241
(clears throat)
1450
01:31:55,092 --> 01:31:56,343
01:37:02,106
(sighs)
1527
01:37:02,566 --> 01:37:04,901
- Unh. Ugh.
- What is it, Clyde?
1528
01:37:05,069 --> 01:37:06,611
Clyde?
1529
01:37:06,779 --> 01:37:08,154
Someone get a doctor.
1530
01:37:08,322 --> 01:37:09,489
Clyde.
1531
01:37:09,657 --> 01:37:13,576
Someone get a doctor now!
Someone get a doctor!
1532
01:37:13,744 --> 01:37:16,079
Clyde, look at me. Look at me.
1533
01:37:16,831 --> 01:37:19,415
Someone get a doctor now!
1534
01:37:19,583 --> 01:37:21,084
Help!
1535
01:37:21,252 --> 01:37:23,086
He'll recover most of his function...
1536
01:37:23,254 --> 01:37:26,256
...but a stroke like this,
it will limit the hours he can work...
1537
01:37:26,423 --> 01:37:28,007
...the information he can process.
1538
01:37:28,175 --> 01:37:29,884
Are you okay, Mr. Hoover?
1539
01:37:30,594 --> 01:37:34,097
Yes, I'm fine. I just... l was playing
with my dog in the yard on Saturday.
1540
01:37:34,265 --> 01:37:36,266
Perhaps it's dehydration.
1541
01:37:37,101 --> 01:37:40,228
That could do it, but it may be wise
to reduce your hours as well.
1542
01:37:40,396 --> 01:37:42,564
At your age, it's important to take leave.
1543
01:37:43,482 --> 01:37:46,484
Miss Gandy, please, give us some privacy.
1544
01:37:51,782 --> 01:37:55,159
Let me tell you, if you ever denigrate me
in front of my staff again...
1545
01:37:55,369 --> 01:37:58,288
...I'll have you railroaded out of your
profession. Understand?
1546
01:37:59,456 --> 01:38:00,623
I apologize, sir.
1547
01:38:01,458 --> 01:38:02,876
Tell me something.
1548
01:38:03,294 --> 01:38:05,128
What do you have for energy?
1549
01:38:05,296 --> 01:38:08,631
We have diet medications
which tend to give a boost.
1550
01:38:08,799 --> 01:38:12,302
So I could lose a few pounds
and have more energy as well?
1551
01:38:12,469 --> 01:38:15,305
Wouldn't worry about your weight, sir.
It's solid weight.
1552
01:38:15,514 --> 01:38:16,931
Hmm.
1553
01:38:17,474 --> 01:38:18,975
Schedule a daily visit.
1554
01:38:20,519 --> 01:38:21,686
Yes, sir.
1555
01:38:30,487 --> 01:38:34,157
They're giving King the Nobel Prize.
Can you believe it?
1556
01:38:34,325 --> 01:38:37,327
The degenerates and radicals
are being lifted up internationally.
1557
01:38:37,494 --> 01:38:40,663
It's like it's 1920 all over again.
1558
01:38:40,998 --> 01:38:42,165
Don't.
1559
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:45,627
When he finds out
that we have this audiotape...
1560
01:38:45,794 --> 01:38:48,004
...that we know the truth
about his character...
1561
01:38:48,172 --> 01:38:51,507
...he's going to decline the award,
Clyde, believe me.
1562
01:38:51,967 --> 01:38:54,052
President Johnson...
1563
01:38:54,219 --> 01:38:55,261
Wait.
1564
01:38:55,846 --> 01:38:57,013
- Clyde.
- Wait.
1565
01:38:57,181 --> 01:39:01,100
You're gonna have to learn to enunciate.
I can't seem to understand you.
1566
01:39:01,268 --> 01:39:05,229
Now, the problem is this;
we have no legal tools.
1567
01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:08,024
You see, our laws have not kept pace...
1568
01:39:08,192 --> 01:39:10,860
...with the improved tactics
of today's criminals.
1569
01:39:11,028 --> 01:39:12,820
I'm gonna do this for you.
1570
01:39:13,072 --> 01:39:15,365
What's your idea?
1571
01:39:15,532 --> 01:39:18,201
Well, we have friends in the press, right?
1572
01:39:18,369 --> 01:39:21,245
We plant stories with them to ensure...
1573
01:39:21,455 --> 01:39:25,333
...that the activities of suspected
radicals see the light of day.
1574
01:39:26,001 --> 01:39:27,877
They'll trace it.
1575
01:39:28,504 --> 01:39:30,213
Well, only if it's true.
1576
01:39:31,006 --> 01:39:33,007
See, it's called counterintelligence,
Clyde.
1577
01:39:33,175 --> 01:39:36,511
The more untrue the story,
the more dramatic the impact.
1578
01:39:36,679 --> 01:39:39,681
Now, I'm going to send
the hotel recording...
1579
01:39:39,848 --> 01:39:44,227
...along with a personal letter
the day before he gets the Nobel Prize.
1580
01:39:44,395 --> 01:39:48,398
And if he accepts the award,
we'll send the tape straight to the press.
1581
01:39:50,025 --> 01:39:54,904
Are you sure that you want to be involved
with that kind of surveillance?
1582
01:39:55,072 --> 01:39:57,615
Well, that's why the letter
won't be from me.
1583
01:39:57,783 --> 01:40:00,243
It'll be a fictitious letter
from one of his own.
1584
01:40:01,745 --> 01:40:07,333
Then there can be no room for error.
I'm not sure that we could ensu...
1585
01:40:07,501 --> 01:40:11,087
I cannot understand what
you're saying, Clyde. Please.
1586
01:40:11,255 --> 01:40:14,382
Come on now. Learn to speak up.
1587
01:40:14,550 --> 01:40:15,717
(chuckles)
1588
01:40:18,220 --> 01:40:22,598
Now, listen, I'm gonna need you
in the office tomorrow. No time to relent.
1589
01:40:25,227 --> 01:40:26,769
I can't.
1590
01:40:27,730 --> 01:40:29,063
Yes, you can.
1591
01:40:29,815 --> 01:40:31,107
Now eat.
1592
01:40:32,609 --> 01:40:36,654
You'd think after all this time
she'd be able to cook my egg correctly.
1593
01:40:38,115 --> 01:40:40,283
01:41:02,764
You know you are a complete fraud and
a great liability to all of us Negroes."
1598
01:41:02,931 --> 01:41:06,309
I said "us," Miss Gandy, "us," not "the."
1599
01:41:06,810 --> 01:41:08,269
You're a Negro now, sir?
1600
01:41:08,437 --> 01:41:11,314
Write every word as I say it,
is that understood?
1601
01:41:11,482 --> 01:41:14,984
Now, "White people in this country
have enough frauds of their own...
1602
01:41:15,152 --> 01:41:17,153
...but they do not
have one at this time...
1603
01:41:17,321 --> 01:41:19,238
...that is anywhere near your equal.
1604
01:41:19,406 --> 01:41:22,325
- I repeat..."
- Sir, what is this exercise?
1605
01:41:22,493 --> 01:41:26,662
Miss Gandy, I am not going to entertain
questions during my dictation, now write.
1606
01:41:27,790 --> 01:41:32,752
"I repeat, you are a colossal fraud
and an evil, vicious one, at that!
1607
01:41:32,920 --> 01:41:36,756
You do not believe in God. You do not
believe in any personal moral principles!"
1608
01:41:36,924 --> 01:41:39,217
Sir, may I ask who this
will be addressed to...
1609
01:41:39,384 --> 01:41:41,928
The question is not to whom,
Miss Gandy, not to whom...
1610
01:41:42,096 --> 01:41:45,348
...but from whom and it is not from
this office, is that understood?
1611
01:41:45,516 --> 01:41:47,767
"You have turned out to be not a leader...
1612
01:41:47,935 --> 01:41:51,437
...but a dissolute, abnormal,
moral imbecile.
1613
01:41:51,605 --> 01:41:54,357
There's only one thing left to do
and you know what that is.
1614
01:41:54,525 --> 01:41:57,026
There's but one way out,
and you better take it...
1615
01:41:57,194 --> 01:42:02,281
...before your filthy, abnormal,
fraudulent self is bared to this nation."
1616
01:42:02,449 --> 01:42:04,033
Did you get everything?
1617
01:42:04,910 --> 01:42:07,203
- Edgar.
- Type it up.
1618
01:42:08,247 --> 01:42:09,789
Type it up.
1619
01:42:11,542 --> 01:42:13,084
(door opens)
1620
01:42:14,002 --> 01:42:15,044
01:43:32,538
..."boad" for "boat,"
and notice the inverted capital N's.
1643
01:43:32,706 --> 01:43:35,708
And the Y's that look like J's.
1644
01:43:35,876 --> 01:43:37,960
LAWYER: Mr. Lindbergh,
you said you heard a voice...
1645
01:43:38,128 --> 01:43:39,462
...in the cemetery that night.
1646
01:43:39,630 --> 01:43:41,881
Yes, very clearly.
1647
01:43:42,049 --> 01:43:44,634
A voice,
to the best of my belief...
1648
01:43:44,801 --> 01:43:48,471
...calling Dr. Condon in a foreign accent.
1649
01:43:48,639 --> 01:43:49,639
"Hey, doctor."
1650
01:43:49,806 --> 01:43:50,848
LAWYER:
Since that time...
1651
01:43:51,016 --> 01:43:52,808
...have you heard the same voice?
1652
01:43:52,976 --> 01:43:54,477
Yes, I have.
1653
01:43:54,645 --> 01:43:57,647
Whose voice was it that you
heard in the cemetery that night...
1654
01:43:57,814 --> 01:43:59,649
...saying, "Hey, doctor"?
1655
01:43:59,816 --> 01:44:01,651
That was Hauptmann's voice.
1656
01:44:04,154 --> 01:44:05,947
But did he act alone?
1657
01:44:07,282 --> 01:44:11,202
He never confessed,
but what sociopath ever does?
1658
01:44:11,370 --> 01:44:13,120
The evidence was clear.
1659
01:44:13,288 --> 01:44:18,542
He was indicted for murder in the
first degree while perpetrating a burglary.
1660
01:44:18,710 --> 01:44:22,004
In New Jersey,
that is punishable by death.
1661
01:44:22,172 --> 01:44:23,381
LAWYER:
Mr. Hauptmann...
1662
01:44:23,548 --> 01:44:26,008
...you've had an opportunity
in this courtroom today...
1663
01:44:26,176 --> 01:44:28,219
...to tell the whole truth.
1664
01:44:28,387 --> 01:44:29,804
Have you told the truth?
1665
01:44:29,972 --> 01:44:32,181
I told the truth already.
1666
01:44:32,349 --> 01:44:33,432
LAWYER:
And the statements...
1667
01:44:33,600 --> 01:44:36,018
...to District Attorney Foley.
Did you tell him the truth?
1668
01:44:36,979 --> 01:44:38,271
To a certain extent.
1669
01:44:38,438 --> 01:44:42,858
To a certain extent you didn't
tell him the truth. Is that right?
1670
01:44:45,195 --> 01:44:49,949
This board that was found
in your closet, S-204...
1671
01:44:50,117 --> 01:44:52,868
...has these numbers written on it.
1672
01:44:53,036 --> 01:44:54,870
It's a little blurred now, isn't it?
1673
01:44:55,038 --> 01:44:56,330
Looks like it.
1674
01:44:56,498 --> 01:44:59,292
Between are some words.
It looks like Decatur and Sedgwick.
1675
01:44:59,459 --> 01:45:00,501
You see that?
1676
01:45:02,296 --> 01:45:05,047
You know what that means, don't you?
That address on there?
1677
01:45:06,049 --> 01:45:07,216
Not exactly.
1678
01:45:07,384 --> 01:45:08,426
(scoffs)
1679
01:45:08,593 --> 01:45:11,554
it is the address and telephone number
of Dr. Condon...
1680
01:45:11,722 --> 01:45:13,222
...the man who paid the ransom...
1681
01:45:13,390 --> 01:45:17,310
...written in your writing,
found on a board in your closet.
1682
01:45:17,477 --> 01:45:20,688
HELEN: (over phone)
Mr. Hoover, the doctor's here to see you.
1683
01:45:20,856 --> 01:45:22,982
MAN: (on radio)
Following Dr. King's historic speech...
1684
01:45:23,150 --> 01:45:26,986
...many said that day brought about a new
awakening in the conscience of the nation.
1685
01:45:27,154 --> 01:45:29,572
Others called it a national disgrace.
1686
01:45:29,740 --> 01:45:34,410
In the long history of man's cruelty
to man, this was a day of hope.
1687
01:45:34,578 --> 01:45:35,995
KING: (on tv)
I have a dream...
1688
01:45:36,997 --> 01:45:39,457
...that one day...
1689
01:45:39,624 --> 01:45:43,336
...this nation will rise up...
1690
01:45:43,503 --> 01:45:46,172
...and live out the true meaning
of its creeds.
1691
01:45:47,090 --> 01:45:51,635
A man's legacy is determined by where
the story ends, Agent Owens.
1692
01:45:51,803 --> 01:45:54,722
Let's think about that tonight
and make a decision tomorrow.
1693
01:45:55,474 --> 01:45:56,891
Is this about a man's legacy?
1694
01:45:58,435 --> 01:46:00,269
Or an institution's reputation?
1695
01:46:01,438 --> 01:46:03,272
The two are connected, Agent Owens.
1696
01:46:03,440 --> 01:46:05,941
One invented the other and vice versa.
1697
01:46:06,109 --> 01:46:07,943
Good day to you.
1698
01:46:09,404 --> 01:46:10,946
Yes, sir.
1699
01:46:11,114 --> 01:46:14,492
We the jury find the defendant,
Bruno Richard Hauptmann...
1700
01:46:14,659 --> 01:46:16,535
...guilty of murder in the first degree.
1701
01:46:16,703 --> 01:46:18,120
(all applauding)
1702
01:46:19,498 --> 01:46:21,874
(gavel banging)
1703
01:46:27,798 --> 01:46:30,716
Your Honor,
I ask for immediate sentencing.
1704
01:46:33,804 --> 01:46:37,431
According to the law of this state...
1705
01:46:37,599 --> 01:46:40,893
...I rule that Mr. Bruno Hauptmann
suffer death...
1706
01:46:41,061 --> 01:46:46,649
...at the time and place
and in the manner provided by law.
1707
01:46:49,403 --> 01:46:51,487
(all murmuring)
1708
01:46:54,825 --> 01:46:56,826
it's death for Hauptmann!
1709
01:46:56,993 --> 01:46:59,245
(all cheering)
1710
01:47:02,165 --> 01:47:03,499
HOOVER:
The trial of the century...
1711
01:47:03,667 --> 01:47:08,462
...the criminal shamed,
the FBI cemented as the public hero.
1712
01:47:08,630 --> 01:47:11,257
That's our, that's our ending, agent.
1713
01:47:13,510 --> 01:47:15,177
But did he do it alone?
1714
01:47:15,554 --> 01:47:18,472
Is he the one who actually took the child?
How can you be sure?
1715
01:47:19,724 --> 01:47:23,644
Well, the mountain of evidence
we discovered, uncovered...
1716
01:47:23,812 --> 01:47:26,689
...confirmed, and clarified,
you cannot dispute it.
1717
01:47:26,857 --> 01:47:29,316
- Clarence Darrow did.
- Of course. Heh.
1718
01:47:30,193 --> 01:47:32,194
Of course, Agent Owens.
That's what he does.
1719
01:47:32,362 --> 01:47:34,905
Mrs. Roosevelt issued
a statement questioning his guilt.
1720
01:47:35,073 --> 01:47:40,202
Well, she has enough to hide on her own
when it comes to un-American activities.
1721
01:47:42,747 --> 01:47:46,375
Well, if you're comfortable with it
as an ending, I'll do my best with it.
1722
01:47:47,127 --> 01:47:50,129
Yes. Yes, I am.
1723
01:47:50,839 --> 01:47:52,339
Sir.
1724
01:47:55,302 --> 01:47:56,760
(reporter speaking indistinctly
on tv)
1725
01:47:56,928 --> 01:47:58,053
01:52:49,428
...to the Capitol Building
for the inauguration.
1757
01:52:49,596 --> 01:52:51,013
(marching band
playing music on tv)
1758
01:52:52,515 --> 01:52:56,769
You can see the Roosevelt High
Marching Band leading the way.
1759
01:52:59,272 --> 01:53:03,692
The motorcade is making progress
down Pennsylvania Avenue...
1760
01:53:05,069 --> 01:53:08,030
...carrying our 37th president.
1761
01:53:14,204 --> 01:53:16,872
Richard Milhous Nixon
waves to the crowd.
1762
01:53:17,040 --> 01:53:20,042
Yep, there's the president
and his wife Pat...
1763
01:53:20,585 --> 01:53:22,211
...happily waving.
1764
01:53:22,712 --> 01:53:24,379
(crowd cheering)
1765
01:53:58,081 --> 01:54:00,415
HOOVER:
When morals decline...
1766
01:54:01,209 --> 01:54:03,585
...and good men do nothing...
1767
01:54:04,546 --> 01:54:06,588
...evil flourishes.
1768
01:54:09,926 --> 01:54:14,596
Every citizen has a duty to learn of this
that threatens his home...
1769
01:54:16,099 --> 01:54:17,266
...his children.
1770
01:54:21,604 --> 01:54:25,941
A society uninterested and unwilling
to learn from the past...
1771
01:54:26,734 --> 01:54:27,860
...is doomed.
1772
01:54:30,280 --> 01:54:31,822
(gunshot)
1773
01:54:31,990 --> 01:54:33,949
HOOVER:
We must never forget our history.
1774
01:54:39,747 --> 01:54:42,624
We must never lower our guard.
1775
01:54:49,173 --> 01:54:55,262
Even today, there are organizations
that have America as their prime target.
1776
01:54:55,430 --> 01:54:59,683
They would destroy the safety
and the happiness of every individual...
1777
01:54:59,893 --> 01:55:03,312
...and thrust us into
a condition of lawlessness...
1778
01:55:03,479 --> 01:55:07,024
...immorality that passes the imagination.
1779
01:55:08,985 --> 01:55:11,653
The president will see you now,
Mr. Hoover.
1780
01:55:11,988 --> 01:55:13,155
Alrighty.
1781
01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:17,534
(grunts)
1782
01:55:24,626 --> 01:55:26,168
NIXON:
Edgar, come in.
1783
01:55:30,173 --> 01:55:31,882
(knocking on door)
1784
01:55:32,050 --> 01:55:33,258
01:58:43,156
But he knows.
1826
01:58:43,866 --> 01:58:48,787
He wants us to expand our wiretaps
to include news reporters now, Clyde.
1827
01:58:49,956 --> 01:58:53,291
We can't do that, especially not now.
1828
01:58:53,459 --> 01:58:55,168
That's the problem, Clyde.
1829
01:58:55,336 --> 01:59:00,215
If I don't agree to do his black bag jobs,
he'll create his own private force.
1830
01:59:00,675 --> 01:59:03,135
Oh, that's illegal.
1831
01:59:03,553 --> 01:59:09,224
Yes, well, he didn't say it outright,
but I saw it in his eyes.
1832
01:59:09,392 --> 01:59:11,393
He won't be controlled, Clyde.
1833
01:59:11,561 --> 01:59:15,480
He's a menace who'll do anything
to hold on to power.
1834
01:59:16,732 --> 01:59:18,733
Right. I see.
1835
01:59:19,569 --> 01:59:23,905
Yes. See, I never played his game,
that's the problem.
1836
01:59:24,073 --> 01:59:26,533
And if to some what I did
seemed like rule-bending...
1837
01:59:26,701 --> 01:59:30,120
...then perhaps they need to figure out
what it is they did...
1838
01:59:30,288 --> 01:59:33,748
...that made them feel blackmailed
or intimidated.
1839
01:59:34,250 --> 01:59:36,251
I wasn't thinking that.
1840
01:59:37,503 --> 01:59:41,464
Then what? What were you thinking?
1841
01:59:42,592 --> 01:59:46,386
I was thinking it might be time
for us to retire.
1842
01:59:47,430 --> 01:59:48,889
Shut up, Clyde.
1843
01:59:50,725 --> 01:59:53,602
You built a great thing, Edgar.
1844
01:59:54,353 --> 01:59:57,647
And if you stop now,
you'll be celebrated.
1845
01:59:58,524 --> 02:00:00,609
That's what you've
always wanted, isn't it?
1846
02:00:00,776 --> 02:00:03,445
Our country's lasting adoration?
1847
02:00:03,613 --> 02:00:06,114
Well, there's a chance you could have it.
1848
02:00:06,949 --> 02:00:10,368
Yes. Yes, and why wouldn't I? Hmm?
1849
02:00:10,536 --> 02:00:12,162
Why wouldn't I, Clyde?
1850
02:00:12,330 --> 02:00:15,874
I saved this country
from a Bolshevik invasion...
1851
02:00:16,042 --> 02:00:19,961
...rid this country of radicals,
captured Machine Gun Kelly...
1852
02:00:20,129 --> 02:00:23,548
...killed Dillinger, captured Karpis,
convicted Bruno Hauptmann.
1853
02:00:23,758 --> 02:00:27,344
And now, with my last breath when
I try to help save this country again...
1854
02:00:27,511 --> 02:00:30,013
...I'm rewarded with a forced retirement?
1855
02:00:30,181 --> 02:00:32,974
I will not go down,
and the fact that you suggest that...
1856
02:00:33,142 --> 02:00:35,518
...makes me question your very loyalty.
1857
02:00:36,562 --> 02:00:38,563
My loyalty, Edgar?
1858
02:00:38,773 --> 02:00:41,191
Yes, your loyalty, Clyde.
1859
02:00:42,276 --> 02:00:45,070
I read your manuscript, Edgar.
1860
02:00:46,155 --> 02:00:48,490
You didn't arrest Karpis.
1861
02:00:48,658 --> 02:00:52,827
And you know as well as I do
there was no white horse in the street...
1862
02:00:53,829 --> 02:00:56,039
...no gun in the back seat.
1863
02:00:56,999 --> 02:01:01,503
And you didn't kill Dillinger.
Agent Purvis did.
1864
02:01:02,004 --> 02:01:05,882
But you kept all the glory for yourself.
1865
02:01:06,217 --> 02:01:10,845
And Machine Gun Kelly never said,
"Don't shoot, G-Men."
1866
02:01:11,514 --> 02:01:16,977
You made that up
to sell comic books, Edgar.
1867
02:01:17,520 --> 02:01:22,315
And when we went to the scene
of the greatest crime of the century...
1868
02:01:22,900 --> 02:01:26,945
...Mr. Lindbergh didn't come out
and shake your hand...
1869
02:01:27,113 --> 02:01:31,574
...and express his faith in the FBI.
1870
02:01:31,742 --> 02:01:38,039
He called you a fussy little man,
and he refused to even meet you.
1871
02:01:40,376 --> 02:01:43,003
And you didn't arrest Hauptmann.
1872
02:01:44,171 --> 02:01:46,464
Agent Sisk did.
1873
02:01:46,632 --> 02:01:51,136
You weren't even at the scene, Edgar.
Only the photo op.
1874
02:01:51,304 --> 02:01:55,348
Edgar, most of what you wrote
is exaggeration...
1875
02:01:55,516 --> 02:02:00,895
...some of it blatant lies, and I don't
even know if you realize it anymore.
1876
02:02:02,773 --> 02:02:04,899
Edgar...
1877
02:02:05,067 --> 02:02:09,070
...you can lie to everyone else,
the whole world...
1878
02:02:09,238 --> 02:02:12,907
...for your own sake,
for the sake of the Bureau...
1879
02:02:13,617 --> 02:02:15,744
...but you cannot lie to me.
1880
02:02:19,248 --> 02:02:22,667
I should've never given you
your job, Clyde.
1881
02:02:24,420 --> 02:02:25,754
You know that?
1882
02:02:27,923 --> 02:02:30,216
You weren't even qualified.
1883
02:02:33,304 --> 02:02:36,264
You remember the day
you came in for your interview?
1884
02:02:37,475 --> 02:02:39,184
I do.
1885
02:02:41,270 --> 02:02:45,648
You walked into my office
and you fixed my window...
1886
02:02:45,816 --> 02:02:48,526
...you picked up my handkerchief.
1887
02:02:48,944 --> 02:02:50,612
You handed it to me.
1888
02:02:52,990 --> 02:02:55,658
You remember why I was sweating,
Clyde?
1889
02:02:57,203 --> 02:02:59,788
It's because you were exercising.
1890
02:03:01,957 --> 02:03:03,291
No, I was...
1891
02:03:04,502 --> 02:03:06,461
I was sweating because I...
1892
02:03:07,296 --> 02:03:09,464
I knew at that very moment...
1893
02:03:11,300 --> 02:03:13,635
I knew at that very moment that I...
1894
02:03:15,137 --> 02:03:16,638
I needed you.
1895
02:03:18,307 --> 02:03:21,976
And I've never needed anyone else
in my entire life.
1896
02:03:24,063 --> 02:03:25,647
Not like that.
1897
02:03:27,525 --> 02:03:29,943
So I began to perspire.
1898
02:03:30,861 --> 02:03:32,070
I know.
1899
02:03:32,863 --> 02:03:34,572
(hoover gasps)
1900
02:03:34,990 --> 02:03:37,492
Edgar, are you all right?
1901
02:03:38,494 --> 02:03:39,828
Yes, yes, it's...
1902
02:03:40,955 --> 02:03:45,166
it's just indigestion, Clyde.
1903
02:03:48,754 --> 02:03:52,924
Let's go to dinner tomorrow night,
shall we? Our old corner booth.
1904
02:03:54,593 --> 02:03:56,177
Perhaps if I feel better.
1905
02:03:56,345 --> 02:03:58,096
Yes.
1906
02:03:58,264 --> 02:03:59,514
And you must...
1907
02:03:59,682 --> 02:04:04,477
You must...
We have a great many things to discuss.
1908
02:04:04,645 --> 02:04:08,523
And now I can't trust anyone else
at the Bureau right now.
1909
02:04:10,025 --> 02:04:11,985
Can only depend on you.
1910
02:04:31,505 --> 02:04:33,506
Thank you, Edgar.
1911
02:04:48,439 --> 02:04:49,898
Good night, Clyde.
1912
02:04:51,525 --> 02:04:53,276
Good night, Edgar.
1913
02:05:19,053 --> 02:05:20,595
02:06:03,638
Yes?
1924
02:06:04,348 --> 02:06:07,809
ANNIE: (over phone)
This is Annie from Mr. Hoover's residence.
1925
02:06:07,977 --> 02:06:10,395
Mr. Hoover has passed.
1926
02:06:39,341 --> 02:06:40,550
- Yeah?
MAN: Sir.
1927
02:06:40,718 --> 02:06:42,635
(inaudible dialogue)
1928
02:06:44,179 --> 02:06:46,514
Jesus Christ.
1929
02:06:47,182 --> 02:06:49,434
That old cocksucker.
1930
02:06:49,602 --> 02:06:52,270
I'll get a speech prepared.
We should go on television.
1931
02:06:52,438 --> 02:06:53,938
Not yet.
1932
02:06:54,106 --> 02:06:58,401
First seal off his office, change his
locks, do whatever you have to do.
1933
02:06:58,569 --> 02:07:01,195
I want those fucking files.
1934
02:07:02,031 --> 02:07:03,197
Yes, sir.
1935
02:07:12,041 --> 02:07:13,708
ANNIE:
Oh, good.
1936
02:07:14,543 --> 02:07:16,377
Come in.
1937
02:07:21,925 --> 02:07:24,218
He's upstairs.
1938
02:08:50,389 --> 02:08:54,058
(whimpering)
1939
02:09:28,510 --> 02:09:32,847
Ladies and gentlemen, it is with
a profound sense of personal loss...
1940
02:09:33,015 --> 02:09:36,017
...that I learned of the death
of J. Edgar Hoover.
1941
02:09:36,685 --> 02:09:40,855
This truly remarkable man
has served his country for 48 years...
1942
02:09:41,023 --> 02:09:43,691
...under eight presidents,
as director of the FBI...
1943
02:09:43,859 --> 02:09:49,697
...with unparalleled devotion
and ability and dedication.
1944
02:09:49,865 --> 02:09:54,535
For 25 years, from the time I came to
Washington as a freshman congressman...
1945
02:09:55,078 --> 02:09:59,373
...he has been one of my closest
personal friends and advisors.
1946
02:09:59,541 --> 02:10:03,461
And every American, in my opinion,
owes J. Edgar Hoover a great debt...
1947
02:10:03,629 --> 02:10:08,049
...for building the FBI into the finest
law enforcement organization...
1948
02:10:08,217 --> 02:10:10,134
...in the entire world.
1949
02:10:11,970 --> 02:10:14,152
I've ordered that
all the flags of the
1950
02:10:14,176 --> 02:10:16,891
government buildings
be flown at half mast...
1951
02:10:17,059 --> 02:10:19,727
...but I will say that, in doing so,
that Edgar Hoover...
1952
02:10:19,895 --> 02:10:24,607
...because of his indomitable courage
against sometimes very vicious attack...
1953
02:10:24,775 --> 02:10:31,072
...has made certain that the
flag of the FBI will always fly high.
1954
02:10:31,240 --> 02:10:38,246
The FBI is the eternal monument
honoring this great American.
1955
02:10:40,249 --> 02:10:42,083
HOOVER:
Funny how even the dearest face...
1956
02:10:42,251 --> 02:10:44,752
...will fade away in time...
1957
02:10:45,295 --> 02:10:50,258
...but most clearly I remember your eyes
with a sort of teasing smile in them...
1958
02:10:50,676 --> 02:10:53,427
...and the feeling of that soft spot...
1959
02:10:53,595 --> 02:10:56,764
...just northeast
of the corner of your mouth.
