Because that isn't a crime.

Right now the president
needs your advice.
37
00:04:16,625 --> 00:04:20,041
Yeah, Hoover's run the FBI,
what, 40 years?
38

- Fifty.
- Fifty goddamn years.

wanted to fire him, don't you?

But they didn't have the balls.

00:04:28,084 --> 00:04:33,083
If the president were to ask
Mr. Hoover to step aside,
42
00:04:33,876 --> 00:04:35,624
how would you suggest he do it?
43
00:04:38,333 --> 00:04:40,958
We know you to be a friend
to this administration.

- There is no line, Mr. Mitchell.

Mr. Hoover would want to keep
his bullet-proof car.

If I may.
52
00:05:12,792 --> 00:05:16,791
There is one thing Mr. Hoover knows
that's been on all your minds.
53
00:05:19,792 --> 00:05:23,583
Whenever the FBI hears
a piece of gossip or information,
54
00:05:23,667 --> 00:05:28,833
such as "I saw so-and-so out
with another woman, not his wife,"
55
00:05:29,417 --> 00:05:32,624
or a man, not his wife,
56
00:05:33,375 --> 00:05:35,833
we're supposed
to write everything down, and we do.
57
00:05:35,917 --> 00:05:37,791
We write it all down in memos.
58
00:05:39,126 --> 00:05:40,749
These memos come to me,
59
00:05:40,876 --> 00:05:44,416
and I decide what information
Mr. Hoover needs to know,
60
00:05:44,709 --> 00:05:46,833
and send that up to Mr. Hoover.
61
00:05:47,417 --> 00:05:50,708
And Mr. Hoover puts it all away
in his private files,
62
00:05:51,792 --> 00:05:53,624
to be kept safe,
63
00:05:53,709 --> 00:05:56,791
out of the hands of people
without discretion,
64
00:05:56,876 --> 00:06:01,499
people who could do harm should that
information be leaked, for instance,
65
00:06:01,625 --> 00:06:04,833
and put before
the court of public opinion.
66
00:06:06,375 --> 00:06:09,541
And then sometimes Mr. Hoover
will go, for instance,
67
00:06:09,625 --> 00:06:13,291
to the president's closest aides
and say,
68
00:06:13,834 --> 00:06:17,249

69
00:06:17,333 --> 00:06:19,875

Competent, reliable, loyal.

- Nothing.

Yes.

Well, I have enjoyed every day of it.
191
00:16:16,333 --> 00:16:21,082
The FBI has been home to me
and my family for 30 years and...
192
00:16:22,250 --> 00:16:23,291
Yes.
193
00:16:32,125 --> 00:16:33,748
"A new day."
194
00:16:35,375 --> 00:16:38,040
Yes, a fresh start.
195

I'm sorry. Could you repeat that? Who?
198
00:16:56,167 --> 00:16:59,207
- Welcome to the FBI.
- A friendly face.
199
00:16:59,375 --> 00:17:00,623
Gentlemen.
200
00:17:01,333 --> 00:17:02,707
Now, Mr. Gray.
201
00:17:02,791 --> 00:17:05,832
I know the bureau
has its closets and skeletons.
202
00:17:05,958 --> 00:17:08,498
You can count on me
to keep those doors shut.
203
00:17:08,958 --> 00:17:10,582
I'll be candid with you.
204
00:17:10,666 --> 00:17:12,707
I was a submarine commander in the navy.
205
00:17:12,833 --> 00:17:16,498
I was father, confessor and friend
to 18-year-olds.
206
00:17:16,583 --> 00:17:18,166
Did you know that?
207
00:17:18,875 --> 00:17:21,040
I'm not a suspicious man by nature.
208
00:17:21,125 --> 00:17:23,874
That probably makes me
a strange choice to run the FBI.
209
00:17:23,958 --> 00:17:26,915
In fact,
when the president called my wife
210
00:17:27,041 --> 00:17:28,999
she begged me to turn him down, but...
211
00:17:30,875 --> 00:17:33,874
But the president wasn't asking,
if you know what I mean.
212
00:17:36,333 --> 00:17:39,166
Now, let me be candid with you,
Mr. Gray.
213
00:17:39,708 --> 00:17:43,207
The FBI is the most respected
institution in the world.
214
00:17:43,292 --> 00:17:46,291
It is one of the two cockpits
that fly America,
215
00:17:46,375 --> 00:17:50,623
and it is what it is because no one
from the outside ever got inside.
216
00:17:52,833 --> 00:17:54,999
Mr. Hoover has been old, a long time.
217
00:17:55,083 --> 00:17:56,999
We all know it's been you
running the FBI, Felt.
218
00:17:57,083 --> 00:17:59,498
- Your reputation is stellar.
- Let me finish.
219
00:18:00,624 --> 00:18:03,332
You have no law enforcement experience.
You're an outsider.
220
00:18:03,541 --> 00:18:07,082
That is your battle to fight,
but I'm going to help you.
221
00:18:07,167 --> 00:18:08,915
- Well, I appreciate that.
- Don't.
222
00:18:09,167 --> 00:18:11,415
It's not an act of generosity.
223

That is all I care about.
226

As long as you keep the FBI first,
227
00:18:22,541 --> 00:18:24,540
you'll be able to count on me.
228

Don't you remember
why he said he liked you so much?
234
00:19:23,875 --> 00:19:28,249
He always said
you and he had the same enemies.

That's why.
236
00:19:38,583 --> 00:19:39,915
Thirty years.

00:19:43,583 --> 00:19:45,249

240

I left behind every friend I ever made.
241
00:19:59,374 --> 00:20:01,623
And I kept my mouth shut,

left in my head.

at least Mark's going to get that job.

Then, this morning,
our Time magazine pal, Sandy Smith,

called the acting director
to say that he is prepping a story

that the FBI is plotting a whitewash.

is talking to the press.

The point, Mr. Lano,
453
00:37:13,249 --> 00:37:15,206
is that leaks kill investigations.

- Whoa, whoa. Okay.
- Take it down, Angie.

00:42:20,790 --> 00:42:22,205
are doing a hell of a job.
523
00:42:22,665 --> 00:42:26,122
Well, thank Mr. Gray, and not to worry.
We'll gather the whole ball of yarn.
524
00:42:26,206 --> 00:42:27,873
Mr. Gray also wanted you to know
525
00:42:27,956 --> 00:42:32,080
that there was gonna be a small change
in procedure in the information flow.
526
00:42:33,165 --> 00:42:36,247
How and, more precisely, where it flows.
527
00:42:36,498 --> 00:42:39,455
Not just the headlines,
but the story itself.
528
00:42:39,748 --> 00:42:41,914
The details, as it were.
529
00:42:43,540 --> 00:42:45,622
Does Mr. Felt know?
530
00:42:46,956 --> 00:42:48,372
Of course.

Angie Lano called me last night.
533
00:43:47,081 --> 00:43:48,747
He told me
that he called the White House
534
00:43:48,832 --> 00:43:50,789
to set up a round of interviews.
535
00:43:51,165 --> 00:43:53,455
Half hour later
the White House called back
536
00:43:53,540 --> 00:43:56,455
to tell me that we can't talk
to two of the guys
537
00:43:56,832 --> 00:43:59,330
because their names
were taken off the list.
538
00:44:00,248 --> 00:44:01,747
The two names you told me.
539
00:44:03,123 --> 00:44:05,122
How would the White House know?
540
00:44:06,081 --> 00:44:08,122
I guess somebody told them.
541
00:44:09,456 --> 00:44:12,205
The only people who knew
were me and you.
542
00:44:13,540 --> 00:44:15,038
And Mr. Gray.
543
00:44:16,832 --> 00:44:18,247
And Mr. Gray.
544
00:44:21,081 --> 00:44:23,205
BATES:
We need to find out what Gray has,
545
00:44:24,540 --> 00:44:26,205
and how he's getting it.
546
00:44:30,290 --> 00:44:32,289
Did I do something wrong?
547
00:44:32,373 --> 00:44:33,913
Mr. Bates tells me
548
00:44:34,956 --> 00:44:38,706
you've been giving Mr. Gray everything
we're collecting on Watergate.
549
00:44:39,623 --> 00:44:41,913
All our interviews, all of our files.
550
00:44:44,081 --> 00:44:46,789
Did Mr. Gray tell you to bypass me?
551
00:44:46,956 --> 00:44:48,997
Well, he didn't say
it was a secret or anything.
552
00:44:52,248 --> 00:44:54,247
But he said that you knew.
553
00:44:56,123 --> 00:44:59,038
How often did you give him our files?
554
00:44:59,123 --> 00:45:00,830
- Every day.
- Why?
555
00:45:02,373 --> 00:45:04,372
We know why.
556
00:45:08,956 --> 00:45:12,414
Did you give the Attorney General
any information about our investigation?
557
00:45:12,498 --> 00:45:14,955
- I don't talk to the Attorney General.
- Did you, Mr. Bates?
558
00:45:16,331 --> 00:45:17,788
Mr. Miller?
559
00:45:23,248 --> 00:45:25,247
The Attorney General
called me this morning
560
00:45:25,373 --> 00:45:28,747
about something
he could only have heard from the FBI.
561
00:45:35,831 --> 00:45:37,955
He's putting a box around Watergate.
562
00:45:39,831 --> 00:45:42,747
We can't touch anything
before the break-in.
563
00:45:42,831 --> 00:45:45,706
We have to stay away
from all the White House corruption.
564
00:45:47,039 --> 00:45:50,746
In other words,
the crimes that matter don't matter.
565
00:45:51,540 --> 00:45:54,746
For the first time in its history,
the FBI
566
00:45:55,914 --> 00:45:57,913
has been quarantined.
567
00:45:57,998 --> 00:46:01,955
Crimes that it knows about
will go uninvestigated.
568
00:46:06,373 --> 00:46:09,038
- Mr. Felt...
- Thank you, Mr. Kunkel.
569
00:46:22,290 --> 00:46:25,455
So, with everything we have right now,
570
00:46:27,039 --> 00:46:29,122
if we could get indictments,
571
00:46:30,956 --> 00:46:34,455
in your opinion, who would we get?
572
00:46:35,540 --> 00:46:36,830
How high?
573
00:46:40,081 --> 00:46:41,955
Maybe Attorney General.
574
00:46:45,665 --> 00:46:47,205
What about the president?
575
00:46:52,165 --> 00:46:53,955
What about the president?
576
00:46:54,706 --> 00:46:56,997
If the president's lying...
577
00:46:58,956 --> 00:47:00,581
Is the president lying?
578
00:47:00,665 --> 00:47:02,330
They're all lying.
579
00:47:04,956 --> 00:47:06,247
Then, yes.
580
00:47:09,039 --> 00:47:10,414
Maybe the president.
581
00:47:12,373 --> 00:47:14,414
RICHARD NIXON:
As the investigations went forward,
582
00:47:14,498 --> 00:47:19,247
I repeatedly askedthose conducting the investigation
583
00:47:19,623 --> 00:47:21,955
whether there was any reason to believe
584
00:47:22,039 --> 00:47:26,122
that members of my administrationwere in any way involved.
585
00:47:26,956 --> 00:47:31,247
I received repeated assurancesthat there were none.
586
00:47:31,582 --> 00:47:33,830
I discounted the stories in the press.

00:47:34,039 --> 00:47:36,705
DICK CAVETT: Who do you think gave
the orders to bug the Watergate?
588
00:47:36,956 --> 00:47:40,164
RICHARD KLEINDIENST: Well,
the persons who the grand jury indicted
589
00:47:40,248 --> 00:47:41,913
in Washington, DC, last week,
590
00:47:42,039 --> 00:47:43,622
gave the orders to do it.
591
00:47:43,706 --> 00:47:45,164
You don't thinkthey were following orders, then?
592
00:47:45,373 --> 00:47:47,080
- No, I do not.- There's nobody higher?
593
00:47:47,165 --> 00:47:49,205
There has been no evidencepresented that anybody did that.
594
00:47:49,331 --> 00:47:51,997
I think the opposition is disappointed
595
00:47:52,081 --> 00:47:54,788
that after such a thorough,intensive investigation
596
00:47:54,873 --> 00:47:57,372
that just seven persons were indicted.

00:53:17,455 --> 00:53:20,496
The Justice Department has now completed
697
00:53:21,039 --> 00:53:23,580
its criminal investigation
698
00:53:23,664 --> 00:53:26,746
without implicating any present official
699
00:53:27,330 --> 00:53:28,955
of either the White House
700
00:53:29,455 --> 00:53:32,496
or the Committeeto Re-elect the President.
701
00:53:32,831 --> 00:53:34,122
- Completed?
- KLEINDIENST: Any questions?
702
00:53:34,206 --> 00:53:35,454
What the hell, man?
703
00:53:35,998 --> 00:53:37,329
Get me Felt on the phone.
704
00:53:37,414 --> 00:53:39,164
- DEAN: As to the White House?
- Hold on, hold on. Wait a second.
705
00:53:39,372 --> 00:53:44,288
I understand the FBI's Watergateinvestigation is in a state of repose
706
00:53:44,372 --> 00:53:46,371
and unlikely to be reopened.
707
00:53:46,455 --> 00:53:48,454
Anybody tell us this was over yet?
708
00:53:49,039 --> 00:53:51,830
Get me Felt on the phone! Or Bates!
709
00:53:53,165 --> 00:53:54,538
God damn it, get me Felt!
710
00:53:54,622 --> 00:53:55,997
- She can't.
- Why the hell not?
711
00:53:56,081 --> 00:53:57,580
'Cause he's right there.
712
00:53:57,664 --> 00:54:01,205
And now, let's return to the pressconference of the US Attorney General.
713
00:54:47,998 --> 00:54:49,205
Maybe she's dead.
714
00:54:53,289 --> 00:54:54,955
Maybe she just gave up.
715
00:54:55,956 --> 00:54:57,705
Didn't think anybody cared.
716
00:55:00,789 --> 00:55:03,038
Maybe she's right out there watching us.
717
00:55:04,247 --> 00:55:06,288
To see what a man like you does
718
00:55:06,372 --> 00:55:08,621
when your daughter
just vanishes one night
719
00:55:08,706 --> 00:55:10,164
for no good reason.
720
00:55:10,247 --> 00:55:11,746
Joan had a reason for everything.
721
00:55:12,789 --> 00:55:13,913
You hated her.
722
00:55:19,873 --> 00:55:21,663
Mothers don't hate their daughters.
723
00:55:23,414 --> 00:55:25,663
It's just not always easy being one.
724
00:55:26,289 --> 00:55:28,246
You dressed her up like a doll,
725
00:55:29,123 --> 00:55:31,413
until she got old enough
to look just like you.
726
00:55:31,497 --> 00:55:32,496
Mark.
727
00:55:32,581 --> 00:55:35,204
You kept telling her to get out
until one day she listened to you.
728
00:55:35,289 --> 00:55:36,746
Listen to me.
729
00:55:37,914 --> 00:55:39,288
I had no mother.
730
00:55:39,372 --> 00:55:40,872
But she did.
731
00:55:40,956 --> 00:55:42,122
Yes.
732
00:55:42,998 --> 00:55:44,080
She did.
733
00:55:45,039 --> 00:55:46,454
My fatherjust left.
734
00:55:48,330 --> 00:55:50,329
So, yes, she gave me up
735
00:55:51,414 --> 00:55:53,080
to foster homes,
736
00:55:53,622 --> 00:55:55,329
then the orphanage.
737
00:55:57,914 --> 00:55:59,955
- But you know all about that, don't you?
- Yeah.
738
00:56:06,914 --> 00:56:08,705
Then I made my own way.
739
00:56:11,039 --> 00:56:12,329
Until you.
740
00:56:13,372 --> 00:56:14,746
My white knight.
741
00:56:17,747 --> 00:56:20,788
Our homes are the only homes
I've ever known.
742
00:56:29,247 --> 00:56:31,080
You were both mine.
743
00:56:34,789 --> 00:56:35,788
GRAY: How's home, Mark?
744
00:56:39,414 --> 00:56:40,580
Why are you asking?
745
00:56:41,330 --> 00:56:43,080
That daughter of yours, Jill?
746
00:56:44,873 --> 00:56:45,872
Joan.
747
00:56:46,914 --> 00:56:48,371
Well, I hear she's terrific.
748
00:56:49,622 --> 00:56:52,621
Fulbright scholar,
first girl in the country.
749
00:56:54,414 --> 00:56:55,997
A chip off the old block.
750
00:57:02,706 --> 00:57:06,163
I want you to be the first
to hear my statement to the press.
751
00:57:11,664 --> 00:57:13,454
"No pressure has been put on me
752
00:57:14,289 --> 00:57:17,621
"or any of my special agents
in the FBI's investigation
753
00:57:17,706 --> 00:57:21,163
"and that it strains..." I thought
I would just nip this in the bud.
754
00:57:21,706 --> 00:57:24,329
"It strains credulity
that President Nixon
755
00:57:24,414 --> 00:57:26,830
"could have done a con job
on the whole American people."
756
00:57:29,414 --> 00:57:30,830
What do you think?
757
00:57:33,664 --> 00:57:35,163
It's just fine.
758
00:57:40,164 --> 00:57:42,913
KUNKEL: The Democrats
have issued a statement this morning.
759
00:57:44,664 --> 00:57:48,538
"The FBI's Watergate investigationis a whitewash.
760
00:57:51,122 --> 00:57:55,371
"What is involved here is not only
the political life of this nation
761
00:57:56,330 --> 00:58:00,288
"but the very morality of our leaders
762
00:58:01,539 --> 00:58:05,204
"at a time when the United States
desperately needs to revitalize
763
00:58:05,289 --> 00:58:07,454
"its moral standards."
764
00:58:10,330 --> 00:58:13,788
"The FBI's Watergate investigation
765
00:58:16,289 --> 00:58:17,746
"is a whitewash."
766
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:23,371
That's it.
767
00:58:29,706 --> 00:58:31,371
Well, gentlemen.
768
00:58:31,455 --> 00:58:32,955
Here's what we know.
769
00:58:34,205 --> 00:58:36,705
We know what we've heard
out of the Department of Justice
770
00:58:36,789 --> 00:58:38,663
the past two days is bullshit.
771
00:58:41,164 --> 00:58:44,204
We know the men
who broke into the Watergate
772
00:58:44,289 --> 00:58:45,955
are not the end of this thing,
773
00:58:47,622 --> 00:58:49,079
but the beginning.
774
00:58:50,038 --> 00:58:51,746
We know this is the latest link
775
00:58:51,831 --> 00:58:56,872
in a chain of illegal,
covert intelligence operations
776
00:58:57,247 --> 00:58:59,288
by the president's re-election campaign.
777
00:59:00,414 --> 00:59:03,746
We know we are facing obstruction
from multiple fronts.
778
00:59:03,831 --> 00:59:05,204
From the White House.
779
00:59:05,622 --> 00:59:07,079
From the CIA.
780
00:59:08,205 --> 00:59:10,788
From the Attorney General
of the United States,
781
00:59:10,873 --> 00:59:13,580
who is our boss, by the way.
782
00:59:14,747 --> 00:59:18,204
It is not ourjob to speculate
on the involvement of the president.
783
00:59:20,664 --> 00:59:23,037
It is ourjob
to follow the bread crumbs.
784
00:59:24,289 --> 00:59:27,705
But those bread crumbs
appear to be taking us
785
00:59:27,789 --> 00:59:30,288
on a tour of the West Wing
of the White House,
786
00:59:32,205 --> 00:59:34,996
and in the general direction
of the Oval Office.
787
00:59:36,706 --> 00:59:41,288
We also know we've been ordered
to shut down our pursuit of all this
788
00:59:41,372 --> 00:59:42,830
as of today.
789
00:59:44,372 --> 00:59:47,246
And we know that except
for the 30 men in this room,
790
00:59:48,913 --> 00:59:52,371
no one in the entire country
knows any of this
791
00:59:52,455 --> 00:59:54,954
and may never know any of this.
792
00:59:59,122 --> 01:00:02,621
No one can stop the driving force
of an FBI investigation.
793
01:00:03,330 --> 01:00:05,329
Not even the FBI.
794
01:00:34,247 --> 01:00:35,454
MARK: Segretti.
795
01:01:13,497 --> 01:01:15,163
I'm going to give you the name of a man
796
01:01:15,247 --> 01:01:17,621
who was asked to work
for the Nixon administration
797
01:01:18,539 --> 01:01:20,037
in an unusual way.
798
01:01:20,955 --> 01:01:21,996
What are you talking about?
799
01:01:22,997 --> 01:01:26,204
There's only one way to understand
what Watergate really means,
800
01:01:26,289 --> 01:01:27,454
and this is it.
801
01:01:29,539 --> 01:01:30,580
The name
802
01:01:33,289 --> 01:01:35,246
is Alex Shipley.
803
01:01:35,330 --> 01:01:36,371
Shipley.
804
01:01:37,539 --> 01:01:39,371
He lives in Nashville.
805
01:01:39,455 --> 01:01:43,079
The man who approached him
was a lawyer out of LA
806
01:01:43,164 --> 01:01:44,663
named Donald Segretti.
807
01:01:45,164 --> 01:01:46,163
Segretti.
808
01:01:48,372 --> 01:01:50,621
Shipley can tell you everything
you need to know.
809
01:01:51,164 --> 01:01:52,580
Will Shipley talk?
810
01:01:53,872 --> 01:01:56,413
I guess you're going
to have to find that out.
811
01:01:57,038 --> 01:01:58,079
One more thing.
812
01:01:59,913 --> 01:02:02,663
This comes from classified FBI files.
813
01:02:03,205 --> 01:02:05,996
The Department of Justice has it,
the White House has it,
814
01:02:07,289 --> 01:02:08,787
and, now, you have it.
815
01:02:11,497 --> 01:02:15,079
REPORTER 1: Let's just get on
with the election and stop this nonsense
816
01:02:15,164 --> 01:02:17,371
about there having beena political espionage campaign
817
01:02:17,455 --> 01:02:18,454
against the Democrats.
818
01:02:18,539 --> 01:02:20,996
REPORTER 2: Here's what's making
the news at the top of the hour.
819
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:25,204
North Vietnamese military attemptsto break through South Vietnamese lines
820
01:02:25,289 --> 01:02:29,079
have been met with an intensebombing attack by a US aircraft.
821
01:02:29,164 --> 01:02:32,705
General Creighton Abrams,the United States commander in Vietnam,
822
01:02:32,788 --> 01:02:34,871
ordered every available B-52
823
01:02:34,955 --> 01:02:36,787
into the northern sectorof South Vietnam.
824
01:02:36,872 --> 01:02:38,663
REPORTER 3:
Though baseball season is over,
825
01:02:38,746 --> 01:02:42,163
the Philadelphia Phils went tothe Ozarks for a new manager today.
826
01:02:42,247 --> 01:02:45,329
Los Angeles coach Danny Ozarkwas the surprise choice
827
01:02:45,414 --> 01:02:48,121
of Phils' general manager, Paul Owens.
828
01:02:48,205 --> 01:02:51,413
Ozark has had no big leaguemanagerial experience...
829
01:03:35,664 --> 01:03:36,912
MARK: Mr. Woodward.
830
01:03:39,497 --> 01:03:40,871
The story isn't moving.
831
01:03:41,955 --> 01:03:43,871
Everyone stopped listening to you.
832
01:03:43,955 --> 01:03:45,580
This isn't the same as before.
833
01:03:48,913 --> 01:03:50,246
We're lost in detail.
834
01:03:51,746 --> 01:03:53,371
That's their plan.
835
01:03:54,372 --> 01:03:56,871
They want everyone confused.
836
01:03:57,746 --> 01:03:59,580
Confusion is control.
837
01:04:05,913 --> 01:04:08,829
The truth could ruin the administration.
838
01:04:11,913 --> 01:04:12,954
How high?
839
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:15,371
How high does it go?
840
01:04:24,372 --> 01:04:26,621
MARK: You still don't understand
what I'm giving you.
841
01:04:30,830 --> 01:04:33,787
This is dangerous stuff
you're playing with.
842
01:04:35,164 --> 01:04:37,829
Especially, if it's known
before November 7th.
843
01:04:39,414 --> 01:04:41,204
That's election day.
844
01:04:41,289 --> 01:04:44,163
You put out the right story,
the public will scream.
845
01:04:45,372 --> 01:04:47,745
The Attorney General
will have to let me keep going.
846
01:05:10,830 --> 01:05:13,620
My editors know
that I'm talking to somebody,
847
01:05:13,705 --> 01:05:14,954
but not who.
848
01:05:15,038 --> 01:05:16,288
They don't ask.
849
01:05:21,580 --> 01:05:24,704
No one understands
how one person knows so much.
850
01:05:24,788 --> 01:05:27,204
No one can possibly know
how much I know.
851
01:05:30,913 --> 01:05:32,371
With all this mystery,
852
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:35,871
there's a nickname for you at the paper.
853
01:05:38,497 --> 01:05:40,662
- Deep Throat.
- What?
854
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:43,037
They didn't know what else to call you.
855
01:05:44,122 --> 01:05:45,163
That's just...
856
01:05:46,872 --> 01:05:49,037
They shouldn't have to call me anything.
857
01:05:58,955 --> 01:06:01,246
Take out your notebook. There's more.
858

in The Washington Post this morning
865

Mr. Felt,
you had something you wanted to say.
879
01:07:19,372 --> 01:07:21,537
The last few days,
I've heard various people
880
01:07:21,621 --> 01:07:24,121
accuse Mr. Lano of leaking to the press.
881
01:07:24,205 --> 01:07:25,662
- You've got to be kidding me!
- Him?

01:07:26,538 --> 01:07:28,912
And that he
and certain newspaper reporters
883
01:07:29,372 --> 01:07:31,288
- have been seen together.
- I'm going to be sick.
884
01:07:31,372 --> 01:07:34,204
I wanted to say to you, Mr. Lano,
in front of everyone here
885
01:07:34,830 --> 01:07:37,829
that I know these are
vicious lies by jealous agents.

1047
01:23:32,246 --> 01:23:34,287
and all come tumbling down.
1048
01:23:35,829 --> 01:23:37,828
The molecules are beginning to scramble.
1049
01:23:37,912 --> 01:23:40,953
The FBI is coming apart.
Do you know where that takes us?
1050
01:23:41,246 --> 01:23:44,412
Do you want a country
this big, this angry, this confused
1051
01:23:44,495 --> 01:23:46,078
without a police department?
1052
01:23:51,413 --> 01:23:52,703
Get out your notebook.
1053
01:23:55,163 --> 01:23:57,786
May, 1969 and February, 1971.
1054
01:23:57,871 --> 01:24:01,536
Mark, are you sure about this?
1055
01:24:01,662 --> 01:24:04,703
Between those dates,
White House employees were wiretapped.
1056
01:24:04,787 --> 01:24:07,619
Many of them aides
to the Secretary of State
1057
01:24:07,871 --> 01:24:10,536
and five reporters,
including The New York Times.
1058
01:24:12,037 --> 01:24:13,328
You're kidding.
1059
01:24:17,745 --> 01:24:20,370
- This is hard for you.
- What part?
1060
01:24:22,745 --> 01:24:24,494
All this truth.
1061
01:24:27,037 --> 01:24:29,786
The truth is hard for you.
1062
01:24:37,204 --> 01:24:41,494
The FBI illegally,
unconstitutionally and reprehensibly
1063
01:24:41,579 --> 01:24:44,036
bugged and taped
1064
01:24:44,121 --> 01:24:46,452
and secretly photographed
and memorialized
1065
01:24:46,537 --> 01:24:48,703
every move that those people made.
1066
01:24:49,537 --> 01:24:52,953
Them and their wives and
their mistresses and homosexual lovers.
1067
01:24:56,204 --> 01:24:58,036
- Who did the wiretaps?
- Bill Sullivan.
1068
01:24:58,246 --> 01:25:00,661
It became a rogue FBI operation.
1069
01:25:01,246 --> 01:25:04,245
Sullivan drove it. Sullivan and
the White House by themselves.
1070
01:25:06,288 --> 01:25:07,578
How 'bout you?
1071
01:25:09,537 --> 01:25:10,744
What do you know?
1072
01:25:10,829 --> 01:25:15,494
About everything else,
I knew every sordid little detail.
1073
01:25:15,579 --> 01:25:16,870
But not this.
1074
01:25:17,704 --> 01:25:19,328
They knew
they couldn't tell me about this.
1075
01:25:20,371 --> 01:25:21,703
Yeah, they couldn't count on you.
1076
01:25:23,288 --> 01:25:27,578
The White House is packing
all its crimes in separate little boxes.
1077
01:25:27,662 --> 01:25:30,995
Watergate, the spying,
the ugliness, the rot.
1078
01:25:31,453 --> 01:25:34,411
Each thing in a different box,
so that no one can put it together,
1079
01:25:34,495 --> 01:25:36,786
so that no one sees it's all connected.
1080
01:25:36,871 --> 01:25:40,661
And no one will care.
But it's all the same big thing.
1081
01:25:44,288 --> 01:25:47,328
And Watergate? Just the gateway.
1082
01:25:53,370 --> 01:25:55,995
Can you get the story out
before Gray's confirmation hearing?
1083
01:25:57,453 --> 01:25:58,786
What you're doing
1084
01:26:00,329 --> 01:26:02,828
will bring down
the whole house of cards.
1085
01:26:05,495 --> 01:26:07,953
But then, you already knew that.
1086
01:26:11,829 --> 01:26:13,536
SANDY: Gray is ready to fall now.
1087
01:26:14,079 --> 01:26:15,619
Watch where it leads.
1088
01:26:31,745 --> 01:26:33,619
Any last-minute advice?
1089
01:26:35,745 --> 01:26:37,287
We've gone over everything.
1090
01:26:38,495 --> 01:26:40,078
They'll go easy.
1091

You're the president's man.
1092

Mr. Gray. What about this?
1093
01:26:49,412 --> 01:26:51,452
I don't know what my position should be.

SENATOR: Mr. Gray, this Time magazine
article by Sandy Smith
1098
01:27:06,537 --> 01:27:10,411
contains information on alleged wiretaps
requested by the White House
1099
01:27:10,495 --> 01:27:12,245
installed by the FBI.
1100
01:27:12,328 --> 01:27:13,828
How do you respond to these charges?
1101
01:27:15,037 --> 01:27:16,786
It was before my time, Senator.
1102
01:27:19,704 --> 01:27:22,369
What about the assertion in this article
1103
01:27:22,579 --> 01:27:25,828
that a White House aide
slipped Donald Segretti,
1104
01:27:25,912 --> 01:27:28,744
a target of the bureau's
Watergate investigation,
1105

copies of what the FBI had?
1106
01:27:31,328 --> 01:27:32,661
We didn't look into that.
1107
01:27:32,745 --> 01:27:35,078
- Why on Earth not?
- I'll have to look into that.
1108
01:27:35,163 --> 01:27:38,036
SENATOR: Did you know that the White
House had your confidential file?
1109
01:27:40,079 --> 01:27:41,703
I did. Yes, Senator.
1110
01:27:51,287 --> 01:27:53,162
Let me tell you
how that might have happened.
1111
01:27:53,245 --> 01:27:54,452
SENATOR: Please do.
1112
01:27:54,537 --> 01:27:57,036
GRAY: White House counsel
John Dean told me
1113
01:27:57,121 --> 01:28:01,036
the White House wanted everything
the FBI had on Watergate
1114
01:28:01,121 --> 01:28:03,203
to help with its own investigation.
1115
01:28:04,163 --> 01:28:06,369
Mr. Dean took all those FBI files.
1116
01:28:06,495 --> 01:28:09,244
SENATOR: How many Bureau reports
are we talking about?
1117
01:28:09,453 --> 01:28:12,494
How many reports did you give Mr. Dean?
1118
01:28:13,453 --> 01:28:15,078
I believe it was 82.
1119
01:28:16,037 --> 01:28:20,286
As the acting director of the FBI,
why on Earth would you do that?
1120
01:28:20,453 --> 01:28:22,703
- Because I was told to.
- SENATOR: By who?
1121
01:28:22,787 --> 01:28:24,411
Who would have ordered that?

decisions of my presidency,

that there was a cancer growingon the presidency,
1138
01:29:19,954 --> 01:29:22,995

for the sound of the Constitution.

You hear that?

It doesn't make quite as much noise
as a bomb, does it?

01:36:53,703 --> 01:36:56,077
frequently briefed
the Nixon White House on the case.
1218
01:36:56,162 --> 01:37:00,369
Maybe you could just give us
a quick snapshot on how that all worked.
1219
01:37:01,537 --> 01:37:05,910
I was in constant contact
with the White House on many matters.
1220
01:37:08,620 --> 01:37:11,286
In fact, I was in the
Oval Office so often,
1221
01:37:12,287 --> 01:37:15,327
people used to say
I had to be Deep Throat.
1222
01:37:22,162 --> 01:37:23,827
What did you just say?
1223
01:37:24,162 --> 01:37:28,494
I said I was with the White House,
Dean and so forth, so often,
1224
01:37:28,579 --> 01:37:32,785
people thought I was The Washington
Post's source for Watergate.
1225
01:37:33,120 --> 01:37:35,119
The person they called, "Deep Throat."
1226
01:37:43,786 --> 01:37:45,452
Before the witness is excused,
1227
01:37:47,287 --> 01:37:48,910
are there any questions from the jury?
1228
01:37:52,537 --> 01:37:54,411
JUROR: Well, were you?
1229
01:37:55,579 --> 01:37:59,244
- Was I what?
- JUROR: Were you Deep Throat?
