1
00:00:57,060 --> 00:00:58,664
You got a cloudy Monday ahead today
2
00:00:58,740 --> 00:01:00,265
here in the nation's capital.
3
00:01:00,340 --> 00:01:04,948
Chance of rain showers and a likely
chance of some drizzle that continues...
4
00:01:05,060 --> 00:01:08,428
With President Nixon
facing an uncertain re-election,
5
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:11,185
candidates for the Democratic Party
are accusing him
6
00:01:11,260 --> 00:01:14,423
of failing to end
American involvement in Vietnam.
7
00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:17,582
Members of the Committee
to re-elect the President
8
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:21,022
were in Jacksonville today
on their campaign trip through Florida.
9
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:24,104
And for a report on that,
here's Georgia Wilson.
10
00:01:24,180 --> 00:01:27,229
Wife of the Attorney
General, Mrs. Richard Kleindienst.
11
00:01:29,420 --> 00:01:30,626
This is the final weekend
12
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:32,623
of our month-long extravaganza sale.
13
00:01:33,420 --> 00:01:35,343
All sizes all on sale!
14
00:01:35,420 --> 00:01:37,946
In Washington,
yet another public demonstration
15
00:01:38,020 --> 00:01:40,785
by some citizens
opposed to the Vietnam War.
16
00:01:41,140 --> 00:01:42,949
Reporter Alan Witten.
17
00:01:43,140 --> 00:01:45,950
It was festive
as the crowd turned to Capitol Hill.
18
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:49,229
In an hour's time,
several thousand people had joined hands
19
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:53,589
to form a complete circle of war protest
around the US Capitol.
20
00:02:01,940 --> 00:02:04,540
Clean and Shine
to the rescue! Cleans up stains,
21
00:02:04,620 --> 00:02:08,545
only the shine remains. No rubbing.
No trimming, no foul smells.
22
00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:11,703
A sharp recession
has shaken economic confidence.
23
00:02:11,780 --> 00:02:14,989
As a result, a large field of
Democratic challengers has emerged
24
00:02:15,060 --> 00:02:17,904
and would beat Nixon
if the election were held today.
25
00:02:17,980 --> 00:02:20,267
- Five different flavors!
- Five different meals!
26
00:02:20,340 --> 00:02:22,422
One happy family!
27
00:03:41,780 --> 00:03:45,341
One, two, three, four!
We don't want your fucking war!
28
00:03:45,580 --> 00:03:49,301
One, two, three, four!
We don't want your fucking war!
29
00:03:52,660 --> 00:03:55,061
Mark Fell'.
30
00:04:01,020 --> 00:04:03,705
Gentlemen. Mr. Dean.
31
00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:06,028
Goddamn Russian revolution out there.
32
00:04:06,940 --> 00:04:08,590
Why aren't we arresting anybody?
33
00:04:08,820 --> 00:04:11,221
Because that isn't a crime.
34
00:04:14,980 --> 00:04:16,903
Right now the president
needs your advice.
35
00:04:16,980 --> 00:04:20,427
Yeah, Hoover's run the FBI,
what, 40 years?
36
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:23,185
- Fifty.
- Fifty goddamn years.
37
00:04:23,460 --> 00:04:26,703
You know, Johnson and Kennedy
wanted to fire him, don't you?
38
00:04:27,020 --> 00:04:28,260
But they didn't have the balls.
39
00:04:28,460 --> 00:04:33,466
If the president were to ask
Mr. Hoover to step aside,
40
00:04:34,260 --> 00:04:36,024
how would you suggest he do it?
41
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:41,351
We know you to be a friend
to this administration.
42
00:04:41,580 --> 00:04:44,060
We like to see our friends
get what they deserve.
43
00:04:44,140 --> 00:04:47,349
- You're next in line.
- There is no line, Mr. Mitchell.
44
00:04:48,740 --> 00:04:50,663
The president is asking.
45
00:04:53,340 --> 00:04:56,822
Mr. Hoover would want to keep
his bullet-proof car.
46
00:05:00,020 --> 00:05:02,626
You're a real politician, Felt.
47
00:05:04,420 --> 00:05:06,502
Then thanks for popping by.
48
00:05:09,820 --> 00:05:10,981
If I may.
49
00:05:13,220 --> 00:05:17,225
There is one thing Mr. Hoover knows
that's been on all your minds.
50
00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:24,020
Whenever the FBI hears
a piece of gossip or information,
51
00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:29,266
such as "I saw so-and-so out
with another woman, not his wife,"
52
00:05:29,860 --> 00:05:33,069
or a man, not his wife,
53
00:05:33,820 --> 00:05:36,266
we're supposed
to write everything down, and we do.
54
00:05:36,340 --> 00:05:38,229
We write it all down in memos.
55
00:05:39,580 --> 00:05:41,184
These memos come to me,
56
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:44,861
and I decide what information
Mr. Hoover needs to know,
57
00:05:45,140 --> 00:05:47,302
and send that up to Mr. Hoover.
58
00:05:47,860 --> 00:05:51,148
And Mr. Hoover puts it all away
in his private files,
59
00:05:52,260 --> 00:05:54,069
to be kept safe,
60
00:05:54,180 --> 00:05:57,263
out of the hands of people
without discretion,
61
00:05:57,340 --> 00:06:01,982
people who could do harm should that
information be leaked, for instance,
62
00:06:02,100 --> 00:06:05,309
and put before
the court of public opinion.
63
00:06:06,860 --> 00:06:10,023
And then sometimes Mr. Hoover
will go, for instance,
64
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:13,786
to the president's closest aides
and say,
65
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:17,747
Mr. Ehrlichman or Mr. Mitchell,
66
00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:20,346
"I want you to know
that we received that report
67
00:06:20,420 --> 00:06:22,024
"about you and that other woman,
68
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:26,071
"and I want to tell you
that there is absolutely no reason
69
00:06:26,180 --> 00:06:28,990
"for us to take any further action.
70
00:06:29,060 --> 00:06:31,461
"There is no violation.
71
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:34,543
"You're safe.
72
00:06:34,620 --> 00:06:36,270
"We, the FBI...
73
00:06:37,340 --> 00:06:41,026
"All your secrets are safe with us."
74
00:06:45,540 --> 00:06:47,668
How long have you been in the FBI, Felt?
75
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:49,665
Thirty years.
76
00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:51,629
Thirty years.
77
00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:55,949
That's a lot of information,
a lot of files.
78
00:07:00,860 --> 00:07:02,021
Thank you, Mr. Felt.
79
00:07:02,420 --> 00:07:04,991
Thank you, gentlemen. Mr. Dean.
80
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:15,826
Choke on your Manhattan.
81
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:18,068
Have a little something.
82
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:20,662
- Hello, darling.
- Hey, sweetie.
83
00:07:20,740 --> 00:07:25,064
I give you the chief dragon slayer
and guardian of the American dream.
84
00:07:26,660 --> 00:07:29,869
Oh, come on, Mark.
Crack a smile, at least!
85
00:07:31,060 --> 00:07:32,186
Eddie, let me go.
86
00:07:32,260 --> 00:07:34,661
Eddie, leave her alone.
She's the best. Come here, you.
87
00:07:34,780 --> 00:07:36,145
- Did you hear that?
- I need a drink.
88
00:07:36,220 --> 00:07:37,460
- I am the best.
- I heard that.
89
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:39,707
- Hi, hon.
- Hi, sweetie.
90
00:07:42,020 --> 00:07:43,226
- Look what I've done.
- Look what you're doing.
91
00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:44,301
What were you doing?
92
00:07:52,220 --> 00:07:53,506
Yes, sir.
93
00:08:03,660 --> 00:08:05,662
Keep the hips down.
94
00:08:07,660 --> 00:08:09,185
Look at your feet.
95
00:08:09,260 --> 00:08:11,501
Come on, attitude.
96
00:08:11,620 --> 00:08:13,270
Eddie, they're elegant!
97
00:09:19,020 --> 00:09:21,102
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
98
00:09:23,540 --> 00:09:25,542
- Is the director in?
- Not yet.
99
00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:34,302
Here's that Weather Underground file.
100
00:09:48,780 --> 00:09:51,590
- How many bombings now?
- Couple dozen.
101
00:09:51,660 --> 00:09:53,583
Precise numbers, Mr. Miller.
102
00:09:53,660 --> 00:09:54,866
Twenty-nine.
103
00:09:54,940 --> 00:09:56,669
Nails and ball bearings.
104
00:09:56,780 --> 00:09:58,987
These kids aren't messing around.
105
00:10:01,420 --> 00:10:03,229
They're embarrassing the FBI.
106
00:10:04,420 --> 00:10:05,990
Get the New York office.
107
00:10:08,380 --> 00:10:09,381
He's dead.
108
00:10:10,020 --> 00:10:11,181
Who?
109
00:10:12,220 --> 00:10:13,710
Mr. Hoover's dead.
110
00:10:15,940 --> 00:10:18,022
His housekeeper found him on the floor.
111
00:10:18,220 --> 00:10:19,949
He wasn't breathing.
112
00:10:20,020 --> 00:10:22,068
It looks like a stroke.
113
00:10:27,340 --> 00:10:29,229
Put everything into motion.
114
00:10:30,420 --> 00:10:33,344
No mistakes, gentlemen. Not one.
115
00:11:19,820 --> 00:11:20,821
Good morning, Felt.
116
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:22,823
The assistant Attorney General.
117
00:11:22,900 --> 00:11:24,106
Pat Gray.
118
00:11:24,380 --> 00:11:26,269
Complicated morning for all of us.
119
00:11:26,340 --> 00:11:29,947
Indeed. Mr. Miller, here, will be
handling the funeral arrangements.
120
00:11:30,020 --> 00:11:32,705
I have the Attorney General's
instructions on seating and protocol.
121
00:11:32,780 --> 00:11:34,270
The funeral will be handled by the FBI.
122
00:11:34,340 --> 00:11:36,741
The Attorney General
will sit beside the vice president.
123
00:11:36,820 --> 00:11:39,869
Handled by the FBI
in its own way, Mr. Gray.
124
00:11:42,340 --> 00:11:45,264
I also have instructions
on Mr. Hoover's files.
125
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:48,429
I am to take possession of them
and bring them to the White House.
126
00:11:48,740 --> 00:11:50,583
What files?
127
00:11:53,420 --> 00:11:56,981
Mr. Hoover's secret files.
The Personal and Confidentials.
128
00:11:58,540 --> 00:12:00,463
Official and Confidentials.
129
00:12:00,540 --> 00:12:02,542
There are no secret files.
130
00:12:47,420 --> 00:12:52,631
We thank thee this day
with arms open for J. Edgar Hoover,
131
00:12:52,980 --> 00:12:55,665
for his lifelong trust in thee,
132
00:12:55,820 --> 00:12:58,426
his steadfast devotion to the nation,
133
00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:00,987
his elevated patriotism,
134
00:13:01,340 --> 00:13:04,981
his commitment to justice
and peace in the nation.
135
00:13:07,780 --> 00:13:09,782
We ask that we may be as strong,
136
00:13:10,940 --> 00:13:13,511
- brave as he was brave...
- Excuse me.
137
00:13:13,620 --> 00:13:16,385
- Loyal as he was loyal...
- Pardon me.
138
00:13:16,460 --> 00:13:18,542
Serve as he sewed,
139
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:22,666
love the nation as he loved it.
140
00:13:38,980 --> 00:13:40,220
Felt!
141
00:13:42,020 --> 00:13:43,624
Jesus. Bill Sullivan.
142
00:13:45,980 --> 00:13:47,789
I'd like a word with you.
143
00:13:52,660 --> 00:13:55,823
Bill Sullivan and Mark Felt,
together again.
144
00:13:55,900 --> 00:13:57,061
Who would have thought it?
145
00:13:57,140 --> 00:13:59,108
I think I was the one
who recommended you to the old man
146
00:13:59,180 --> 00:14:00,261
for your first big promotion.
147
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:03,310
- You know you were.
- That's right. Mark Felt never forgets.
148
00:14:03,740 --> 00:14:05,265
That's why everyone likes you.
149
00:14:05,380 --> 00:14:08,350
Hell, I even like you.
150
00:14:08,420 --> 00:14:09,865
And I don't like anybody.
151
00:14:09,980 --> 00:14:11,470
What do you want?
152
00:14:13,180 --> 00:14:15,342
I had 30 years in the bureau.
153
00:14:15,820 --> 00:14:17,504
Same as you.
154
00:14:17,580 --> 00:14:19,582
- You were the director's bag man.
- Oh, yeah?
155
00:14:19,660 --> 00:14:22,027
You taped Martin Luther King
with other women
156
00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:24,341
and sent the pictures to his wife.
157
00:14:25,100 --> 00:14:27,023
Do you need me to actually say it?
158
00:14:28,140 --> 00:14:31,189
Those days were gone. You had to go.
159
00:14:33,900 --> 00:14:38,667
You could be you, Mark,
only because I was who I was.
160
00:14:40,700 --> 00:14:42,862
You and I were an ecosystem.
161
00:14:42,940 --> 00:14:45,147
That's how nature works.
162
00:14:45,420 --> 00:14:47,263
Keeps everything in a balance.
163
00:14:49,420 --> 00:14:51,024
Now, the king is dead.
164
00:14:51,660 --> 00:14:53,230
Long live the king.
165
00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:57,544
- Are you the new king?
- You tell me.
166
00:14:57,980 --> 00:15:00,551
You're the president's new best friend.
167
00:15:03,340 --> 00:15:04,751
Mark Felt.
168
00:15:05,940 --> 00:15:09,228
Integrity, bravery, fidelity.
169
00:15:09,420 --> 00:15:11,104
Ladies and gentlemen, the G-man's G-man.
170
00:15:11,380 --> 00:15:14,463
You want to know what everybody
really thinks of you? Do you?
171
00:15:15,180 --> 00:15:19,230
Competent, reliable, loyal.
172
00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:21,382
- What's wrong with that?
- Nothing.
173
00:15:22,540 --> 00:15:24,508
If you're a golden retriever.
174
00:15:26,060 --> 00:15:27,061
Hoover's gone.
175
00:15:28,780 --> 00:15:30,270
You're alone now,
176
00:15:32,540 --> 00:15:35,908
holding the end of your own leash.
177
00:15:55,540 --> 00:15:57,660
Attorney General, line one-
178
00:16:08,700 --> 00:16:09,747
Dick.
179
00:16:12,900 --> 00:16:14,140
Yes.
180
00:16:14,260 --> 00:16:17,343
Well, I have enjoyed every day of it.
181
00:16:17,420 --> 00:16:22,187
The FBI has been home to me
and my family for 30 years and...
182
00:16:23,340 --> 00:16:24,387
Yes.
183
00:16:33,220 --> 00:16:34,870
"A new day."
184
00:16:36,460 --> 00:16:39,145
Yes, a fresh start.
185
00:16:39,340 --> 00:16:41,866
It's what I would do.
186
00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:46,302
Who do you have in mind?
187
00:16:49,340 --> 00:16:52,264
I'm sorry. Could you repeat that? Who?
188
00:16:57,300 --> 00:17:00,349
- Welcome to the FBI.
- A friendly face.
189
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:01,740
Gentlemen.
190
00:17:02,460 --> 00:17:03,825
Now, Mr. Gray.
191
00:17:03,900 --> 00:17:06,949
I know the bureau
has its closets and skeletons.
192
00:17:07,100 --> 00:17:09,626
You can count on me
to keep those doors shut.
193
00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:11,704
I'll be candid with you.
194
00:17:11,780 --> 00:17:13,862
I was a submarine commander in the navy.
195
00:17:13,980 --> 00:17:17,621
I was father, confessor and friend
to 18-year-olds.
196
00:17:17,740 --> 00:17:19,310
Did you know that?
197
00:17:20,020 --> 00:17:22,182
I'm not a suspicious man by nature.
198
00:17:22,260 --> 00:17:25,025
That probably makes me
a strange choice to run the FBI.
199
00:17:25,100 --> 00:17:28,070
In fact,
when the president called my wife
200
00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:30,148
she begged me to turn him down, but...
201
00:17:32,020 --> 00:17:35,024
But the president wasn't asking,
if you know what I mean.
202
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:40,344
Now, let me be candid with you,
Mr. Gray.
203
00:17:40,860 --> 00:17:44,387
The FBI is the most respected
institution in the world.
204
00:17:44,460 --> 00:17:47,464
It is one of the two cockpits
that fly America,
205
00:17:47,540 --> 00:17:51,784
and it is what it is because no one
from the outside ever got inside.
206
00:17:54,020 --> 00:17:56,182
Mr. Hoover has been old, a long time.
207
00:17:56,260 --> 00:17:58,183
We all know it's been you
running the FBI, Felt.
208
00:17:58,260 --> 00:18:00,706
- Your reputation is stellar.
- Let me finish.
209
00:18:01,820 --> 00:18:04,505
You have no law enforcement experience.
You're an outsider.
210
00:18:04,740 --> 00:18:08,267
That is your battle to fight,
but I'm going to help you.
211
00:18:08,340 --> 00:18:10,104
- Well, I appreciate that.
- Don't.
212
00:18:10,340 --> 00:18:12,627
It's not an act of generosity.
213
00:18:12,860 --> 00:18:15,830
This is about this building
and what goes on in here
214
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:17,789
and what it means to the country.
215
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:19,670
That is all I care about.
216
00:18:20,340 --> 00:18:23,583
As long as you keep the FBI first,
217
00:18:23,740 --> 00:18:25,742
you'll be able to count on me.
218
00:18:31,460 --> 00:18:32,950
This is your office.
219
00:19:00,620 --> 00:19:02,622
I thought the job was yours.
220
00:19:05,900 --> 00:19:07,629
What did I miss?
221
00:19:15,180 --> 00:19:17,308
You and Mr. Hoover.
222
00:19:20,580 --> 00:19:24,710
Don't you remember
why he said he liked you so much?
223
00:19:25,140 --> 00:19:29,509
He always said
you and he had the same enemies.
224
00:19:31,940 --> 00:19:33,704
That's why.
225
00:19:39,860 --> 00:19:41,191
Thirty years.
226
00:19:44,860 --> 00:19:46,544
Thirteen transfers.
227
00:19:50,580 --> 00:19:52,184
Thirteen homes to leave.
228
00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:55,386
Thirteen homes to make.
229
00:19:56,820 --> 00:19:59,664
I left behind every friend I ever made.
230
00:20:00,660 --> 00:20:02,947
And I kept my mouth shut,
231
00:20:03,020 --> 00:20:05,341
like the perfect little FBI wife.
232
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:08,945
Until one day you wake up
233
00:20:09,020 --> 00:20:10,704
and you're so different
than you used to be
234
00:20:10,780 --> 00:20:14,182
you can't even remember
what the point was in the first place.
235
00:20:16,020 --> 00:20:20,025
Till there's just one thing
left in my head.
236
00:20:21,060 --> 00:20:26,464
The one idea left in my head is,
at least Mark's going to get that job.
237
00:20:27,260 --> 00:20:29,991
- And that will make up for everything.
- Audrey.
238
00:20:31,220 --> 00:20:33,348
They don't deserve you.
239
00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:36,501
They don't deserve us.
240
00:20:41,180 --> 00:20:42,750
You need to resign.
241
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:10,506
When the bureau is in better hands,
242
00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:14,550
then, I'll go.
243
00:21:32,460 --> 00:21:34,747
- What is it?
- This is getting complicated.
244
00:21:34,900 --> 00:21:36,709
You better get down here.
245
00:21:36,940 --> 00:21:40,023
Five men wearing white gloves
and carrying cameras
246
00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:41,909
were caught early today
in the headquarters
247
00:21:41,980 --> 00:21:44,790
of the Democratic National Committee,
in Washington.
248
00:21:44,860 --> 00:21:46,100
They apparently were unarmed
249
00:21:46,180 --> 00:21:49,423
and nobody knows yet
why they were even there.
250
00:22:07,620 --> 00:22:09,031
Mr. Kunkel.
251
00:22:09,860 --> 00:22:13,069
Straight into the Democrat offices
in the Watergate.
252
00:22:14,460 --> 00:22:16,110
Who's our spy?
253
00:22:16,180 --> 00:22:17,864
Baldwin, Alfred C.
254
00:22:18,020 --> 00:22:20,022
Checked in six weeks ago.
255
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:22,023
Says he was more than just the lookout.
256
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,180
He says he was supposed
to listen for "girlie stuff."
257
00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:26,701
Guess the Dems are having
a lot of trouble with their wives.
258
00:22:26,780 --> 00:22:28,464
He say where he got his instructions?
259
00:22:28,540 --> 00:22:30,542
Baldwin is one of ours.
260
00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:33,223
EX-FBI.
261
00:22:34,060 --> 00:22:35,505
He worked under Bill Sullivan.
262
00:22:36,420 --> 00:22:38,701
When he was in the bureau,
was he in Mr. Sullivan's group?
263
00:22:39,140 --> 00:22:40,346
We think so.
264
00:22:40,420 --> 00:22:42,343
What about CIA connections?
265
00:22:42,420 --> 00:22:43,751
No idea. Why?
266
00:22:44,300 --> 00:22:47,588
Because 30 minutes ago
four of those burglars told a judge
267
00:22:47,660 --> 00:22:49,662
they are ex-CIA.
268
00:22:51,380 --> 00:22:53,223
What the hell is this?
269
00:22:54,580 --> 00:22:56,981
One of the most fascinating
and exotic stories
270
00:22:57,060 --> 00:22:58,903
ever to come out of Washington, DC,
271
00:22:58,980 --> 00:23:01,062
was the talk of the capital today.
272
00:23:01,140 --> 00:23:03,188
Robert Endicott covered the story.
273
00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:05,826
Democratic officials today
held a series of meetings
274
00:23:05,900 --> 00:23:07,504
to talk about tighter security
275
00:23:07,580 --> 00:23:09,070
at the national headquarters
here in Washington.
276
00:23:09,140 --> 00:23:11,302
The White House
has so far offered no official comment,
277
00:23:11,380 --> 00:23:14,987
but a close adviser to the president,
seen here visiting China last month,
278
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:17,506
has said the president
is most concerned about the break-in
279
00:23:17,580 --> 00:23:20,709
and will be keeping
a very close eye on the investigation.
280
00:23:20,780 --> 00:23:22,544
Now, turning to other news...
281
00:23:24,020 --> 00:23:25,670
Mr. Lano is running street on this.
282
00:23:26,740 --> 00:23:28,549
2:15, Sunday morning,
283
00:23:28,620 --> 00:23:32,102
Metro finds our perps inside the
Democratic National Committee office.
284
00:23:32,420 --> 00:23:35,549
We ID'd the lead. He's a pro.
285
00:23:35,620 --> 00:23:39,022
Five years in the FBI, 19 in the CIA.
286
00:23:39,940 --> 00:23:43,228
Then he left the CIA to run security
for the Attorney General.
287
00:23:43,660 --> 00:23:45,981
Then he ran security for the White House
288
00:23:46,060 --> 00:23:47,869
for the Committee
to Re-elect the President.
289
00:23:47,940 --> 00:23:49,351
The lead burglar ran security
290
00:23:49,420 --> 00:23:50,706
for the Committee
to Re-elect the President?
291
00:23:50,780 --> 00:23:53,784
- Is that what you said?
- That's what he said. Keep going.
292
00:23:53,860 --> 00:23:55,100
Yeah, it gets weirder.
293
00:23:55,220 --> 00:23:57,700
The lookout in here, three years FBI.
294
00:23:57,780 --> 00:24:01,387
Then the Attorney General recruits him
to be his wife's personal bodyguard.
295
00:24:06,260 --> 00:24:07,500
Just keep going.
296
00:24:07,660 --> 00:24:10,266
The lookout makes
a Howard Hunt the ringleader.
297
00:24:10,660 --> 00:24:12,264
Hunt's also ex-CIA.
298
00:24:12,340 --> 00:24:13,341
But get this,
299
00:24:13,540 --> 00:24:15,304
a year ago we were asked to do
a background check
300
00:24:15,380 --> 00:24:16,541
on Hunt for a government job.
301
00:24:16,620 --> 00:24:18,748
- Did we clear him?
- Yeah.
302
00:24:18,980 --> 00:24:20,948
For a job at the White House
303
00:24:21,020 --> 00:24:24,820
as a "consultant on highly sensitive,
confidential matters."
304
00:24:26,460 --> 00:24:27,586
That's a job title?
305
00:24:32,380 --> 00:24:35,065
White House, Justice and the CIA
306
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:37,746
are gonna want to know
everything we know.
307
00:24:40,220 --> 00:24:42,666
But we aren't going to tell them.
Anything.
308
00:24:42,820 --> 00:24:44,709
The Attorney General already called.
309
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:46,823
Nobody talks to the Attorney General.
310
00:24:46,900 --> 00:24:49,744
- We answer to the Attorney General.
- You answer to me.
311
00:24:51,140 --> 00:24:52,949
What about the director?
312
00:24:53,220 --> 00:24:55,427
I'll take care of the director.
313
00:24:56,260 --> 00:24:58,866
There is still no explanation
why the Watergate suspects
314
00:24:58,940 --> 00:25:01,420
might have attempted
to bug Democratic headquarters.
315
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:03,867
A spokesman for the Attorney General
said yesterday
316
00:25:03,940 --> 00:25:05,863
that the FBI is already investigating.
317
00:25:05,940 --> 00:25:09,342
Their report will be turned over to the
criminal division for appropriate...
318
00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:35,025
John Dean, the president's counsel,
just went into the director's office.
319
00:25:36,060 --> 00:25:38,586
- Let me know when he comes out.
- Yes, Mr. Felt.
320
00:25:51,260 --> 00:25:53,020
Mr. Dean has left.
321
00:25:53,180 --> 00:25:55,182
The director's leaving in a bit
to play golf.
322
00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:04,551
What's John Dean
doing here in this building?
323
00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:12,221
This is a remarkable amount
of information
324
00:26:12,580 --> 00:26:14,105
about the break-in.
325
00:26:14,180 --> 00:26:17,309
We're still gathering string.
This is just the beginning.
326
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:19,270
Okay.
327
00:26:21,580 --> 00:26:24,026
First of all,
there are no more interviews
328
00:26:24,140 --> 00:26:27,349
with White House or CIA people
without permission.
329
00:26:27,420 --> 00:26:28,865
- What?
- Whose permission?
330
00:26:32,140 --> 00:26:33,665
Give us a minute.
331
00:26:37,780 --> 00:26:39,509
Get out.
332
00:26:42,740 --> 00:26:44,868
The FBI is an independent body.
333
00:26:44,980 --> 00:26:45,981
I'm aware of that.
334
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:48,865
Are you also aware that means
we don't need permission
335
00:26:48,940 --> 00:26:51,022
to do anything from anybody?
336
00:26:51,780 --> 00:26:55,387
You give that up just one time,
you don't ever get it back. Ever.
337
00:26:55,460 --> 00:26:57,428
Let's not get dramatic.
We don't even know what this is.
338
00:26:57,500 --> 00:26:59,423
That's right. We don't.
339
00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:02,151
But we're going to find out.
That's what we do.
340
00:27:02,940 --> 00:27:05,022
You don't work for them.
341
00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:07,671
You're the director of the FBI now.
342
00:27:17,780 --> 00:27:19,464
Forty-eight hours.
343
00:27:21,260 --> 00:27:24,662
We put the investigation to bed
and get on with the rest of our lives
344
00:27:25,060 --> 00:27:26,710
in two days.
345
00:27:29,620 --> 00:27:31,702
You've got 48 hours.
346
00:27:33,420 --> 00:27:34,751
Thank you.
347
00:28:19,060 --> 00:28:20,664
Nice to see you.
348
00:28:20,740 --> 00:28:22,504
What brings you back?
349
00:28:23,500 --> 00:28:25,025
Two words.
350
00:28:26,180 --> 00:28:27,864
Re... Venge.
351
00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:10,025
Was everything all right, Daniel?
352
00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:11,306
It's great as always.
353
00:29:11,420 --> 00:29:13,661
Your total's going to be $47.70.
354
00:29:13,740 --> 00:29:14,980
Thanks, darlin'.
355
00:29:16,300 --> 00:29:17,950
There you go.
I'll see you next time.
356
00:29:18,140 --> 00:29:19,585
Say hi to your mama.
357
00:29:26,820 --> 00:29:28,629
You look like hell.
358
00:29:31,580 --> 00:29:32,820
Have some food.
359
00:29:32,900 --> 00:29:35,107
- How are you, sir?
- Just coffee, thanks.
360
00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:42,424
So, what does this look like
to you, Sandy,
361
00:29:42,500 --> 00:29:44,229
and your pals at Time magazine?
362
00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:46,029
Oh, the Watergate thing?
363
00:29:48,380 --> 00:29:49,586
Honestly, I...
364
00:29:51,220 --> 00:29:54,144
No one at Time magazine or any newspaper
I know can figure it out.
365
00:29:54,900 --> 00:29:57,870
Ex-spooks get caught planting bugs?
366
00:30:04,620 --> 00:30:06,987
Does have a particular
odor to it though.
367
00:30:16,740 --> 00:30:20,540
I bet your old pal Bill Sullivan
sure misses the FBI.
368
00:30:23,420 --> 00:30:27,505
Because I heard the White House
gave him some bullshit job,
369
00:30:27,580 --> 00:30:28,991
waiting for Hoover to kick off.
370
00:30:29,820 --> 00:30:31,948
Sullivan wants back in.
371
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:35,422
The president wants him back in
to run the FBI their way.
372
00:30:38,540 --> 00:30:40,542
Nixon and Sullivan.
373
00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:43,910
Those two were made for each other.
374
00:30:48,740 --> 00:30:50,105
Here you go.
375
00:30:52,700 --> 00:30:54,464
Could we have some pie, please?
376
00:30:54,820 --> 00:30:57,266
What kind?
We have apple, blueberry...
377
00:30:57,340 --> 00:30:58,466
You pick.
378
00:31:00,460 --> 00:31:02,462
What are we doing out here, Mark?
379
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:06,989
I was given 48 hours.
380
00:31:08,980 --> 00:31:10,311
To do what?
381
00:31:11,980 --> 00:31:14,347
Wrap up the Watergate investigation.
382
00:31:15,660 --> 00:31:16,661
BY Who?
383
00:31:20,700 --> 00:31:22,225
Gray?
384
00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:27,749
Pat Gray, the director of the FBI,
385
00:31:28,620 --> 00:31:31,430
ordered the FBI
to stop its own investigation?
386
00:31:32,420 --> 00:31:34,502
There are calls
we are not allowed to make
387
00:31:34,580 --> 00:31:37,470
and phone and bank records
we can't go near.
388
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:42,550
Thank you.
389
00:31:56,500 --> 00:32:01,108
In all the years I've known you,
you've never given up a single,
390
00:32:01,220 --> 00:32:03,029
real secret.
391
00:32:06,420 --> 00:32:08,149
Nothing but the company line.
392
00:32:13,020 --> 00:32:15,466
These are uncharted waters for you.
393
00:32:20,860 --> 00:32:22,942
So, one more time. What are we doing?
394
00:32:24,060 --> 00:32:26,108
You looking for a little help?
395
00:32:27,140 --> 00:32:28,187
Payback?
396
00:32:28,940 --> 00:32:31,671
I want the FBI left alone to do its job.
397
00:32:33,380 --> 00:32:35,109
That's all I want.
398
00:32:36,380 --> 00:32:39,111
And you want me to light a fire
around the edges
399
00:32:40,140 --> 00:32:41,141
with a story.
400
00:32:43,540 --> 00:32:45,747
Well, I can see why
they didn't give you the job.
401
00:32:50,180 --> 00:32:52,342
They must be terrified of you.
402
00:33:28,580 --> 00:33:31,026
- Come on, come on.
- Washington Post.
403
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:03,151
I miss you.
I know I'm not supposed to say that.
404
00:34:04,660 --> 00:34:07,027
- It's okay to say that.
- No.
405
00:34:08,180 --> 00:34:09,750
It's too touchy-feely.
406
00:34:10,740 --> 00:34:12,788
I need you too much.
407
00:34:14,820 --> 00:34:16,663
Where were you tonight?
408
00:34:16,860 --> 00:34:19,181
The switchboard said
they didn't know where you were.
409
00:34:19,820 --> 00:34:22,266
Because I didn't tell them.
410
00:34:22,340 --> 00:34:24,183
Well, what about Mrs. Tschudy?
411
00:34:24,780 --> 00:34:26,191
She didn't know either.
412
00:34:27,700 --> 00:34:30,544
But you taught her
to always say that, didn't you?
413
00:34:39,140 --> 00:34:41,541
Have you been making the calls
about Joan?
414
00:34:43,020 --> 00:34:44,670
I've called all her friends.
415
00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:49,071
They haven't heard from her
in nearly a year.
416
00:34:54,500 --> 00:34:55,945
Are you looking for her?
417
00:34:57,420 --> 00:34:59,741
Is the most powerful
law enforcement agency
418
00:34:59,820 --> 00:35:01,549
in the world looking for her?
419
00:35:01,620 --> 00:35:03,110
I can't do that.
420
00:35:03,940 --> 00:35:05,021
Oh.
421
00:35:06,020 --> 00:35:07,829
It's against the rules?
422
00:35:12,860 --> 00:35:15,386
We don't know what they will find.
423
00:35:16,980 --> 00:35:17,981
Do we?
424
00:36:21,180 --> 00:36:23,182
Where the hell did they get that?
425
00:36:48,380 --> 00:36:49,506
Mr. Bates.
426
00:36:49,580 --> 00:36:53,027
This Washington Post story says
we know who the Watergate ringleader is.
427
00:36:54,020 --> 00:36:57,866
Then, this morning,
our Time magazine pal, Sandy Smith,
428
00:36:57,940 --> 00:37:01,501
called the acting director
to say that he is prepping a story
429
00:37:01,580 --> 00:37:04,060
that the FBI is plotting a whitewash.
430
00:37:04,140 --> 00:37:08,828
He said the director has put
a 48-hour cap on the investigation.
431
00:37:09,220 --> 00:37:10,870
- What's your point?
- Ls that true?
432
00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:14,065
Someone in this office
is talking to the press.
433
00:37:14,140 --> 00:37:15,505
The point, Mr. Lano,
434
00:37:15,580 --> 00:37:17,548
is that leaks kill investigations.
435
00:37:17,620 --> 00:37:19,782
- Whoa, whoa. Okay.
- Take it down, Angie.
436
00:37:19,860 --> 00:37:23,103
You want to conduct
a leak investigation, be my guest.
437
00:37:23,180 --> 00:37:26,468
But you got 200 field agents from
here to LA all chasing down leads,
438
00:37:26,620 --> 00:37:28,349
so you're gonna have to
ask them all, too.
439
00:37:28,420 --> 00:37:30,149
Tone, in front of Mr. Felt.
440
00:37:30,220 --> 00:37:33,986
I can guarantee it wasn't me
or any of the guys in this room.
441
00:37:34,100 --> 00:37:36,580
Donald H. Segretti.
442
00:37:36,860 --> 00:37:39,227
You pulled that name
from Howard Hunt's phone records.
443
00:37:39,300 --> 00:37:41,064
He called Hunt a few dozen times, yeah.
444
00:37:41,300 --> 00:37:44,747
This says Segretti used to be a lawyer
in the Treasury Department,
445
00:37:44,900 --> 00:37:47,187
paid out of the account
that funded the Watergate.
446
00:37:47,300 --> 00:37:50,543
An account belonging to
the Committee to Re-elect the President.
447
00:37:50,660 --> 00:37:52,583
- Who is the head of the committee?
- John Mitchell.
448
00:37:52,660 --> 00:37:55,470
Former Attorney General, John Mitchell.
449
00:37:55,980 --> 00:37:58,711
The best we can make out is
Segretti's some kind of prankster.
450
00:37:58,860 --> 00:38:02,626
You know, like he's spying on the Dems,
sending their wives dirty pictures.
451
00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:06,022
- It's all bottom-feeder, frat boy stuff.
- Indictable under election laws.
452
00:38:06,100 --> 00:38:07,909
Forget the plot of the story,
Mr. Kunkel.
453
00:38:07,980 --> 00:38:10,142
What's the theme? What's it saying?
What does it mean?
454
00:38:10,220 --> 00:38:13,064
Like Angie, like Mr. Lano said,
we are still vetting the leads.
455
00:38:13,140 --> 00:38:17,031
All the ugly politics,
all the dirty money, all the sleaze.
456
00:38:17,140 --> 00:38:20,144
It means the goddamn punks
are running the country!
457
00:38:28,300 --> 00:38:29,426
Keep going.
458
00:38:30,980 --> 00:38:33,790
You might want to talk to
the White House about those leaks.
459
00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:40,509
- Why?
- 'Cause whenever I'm lucky enough
460
00:38:40,580 --> 00:38:42,628
to get someone over there
to actually talk to me,
461
00:38:43,020 --> 00:38:44,784
they know what I'm gonna ask
before I ask it.
462
00:38:47,740 --> 00:38:49,708
It's like they already know
what I want to know.
463
00:38:57,580 --> 00:39:00,902
Mr. Felt, I have the White House
on the phone. Mr. John Dean.
464
00:39:20,820 --> 00:39:22,026
Put him through.
465
00:39:25,780 --> 00:39:26,906
Mr. Dean.
466
00:39:27,020 --> 00:39:29,466
The White House is concerned
about these press leaks.
467
00:39:31,940 --> 00:39:33,430
Of course.
468
00:39:33,500 --> 00:39:36,743
We think the source
must be someone in the FBI.
469
00:39:42,980 --> 00:39:44,982
Why FBI?
470
00:39:45,180 --> 00:39:47,387
That's where the information is.
471
00:39:48,500 --> 00:39:51,470
Those stories could have come
from someone in the White House.
472
00:39:54,860 --> 00:39:57,181
We want you to do something
about it, Mr. Felt.
473
00:39:57,260 --> 00:39:59,501
- Okay.
- Now.
474
00:39:59,900 --> 00:40:01,345
Fine.
475
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:02,945
But I don't understand.
476
00:40:04,340 --> 00:40:07,071
- Which part?
- The part about you calling me.
477
00:40:07,500 --> 00:40:10,629
The White House
has no authority over the FBI.
478
00:40:14,780 --> 00:40:17,989
- We can...
- At all, Mr. Dean.
479
00:40:21,060 --> 00:40:22,425
But we can suggest...
480
00:40:22,540 --> 00:40:26,022
I'm afraid the White House
has nothing to suggest to the FBI.
481
00:40:29,820 --> 00:40:32,903
- Thank you, Mr. Felt.
- Thank you, Mr. Dean.
482
00:41:01,300 --> 00:41:05,305
I want you to disappear
our investigation on these two names.
483
00:41:05,540 --> 00:41:07,668
Get them off the interview list.
484
00:41:07,740 --> 00:41:09,344
I don't get it. They're nobody.
485
00:41:09,460 --> 00:41:10,871
Just do it.
486
00:41:15,260 --> 00:41:18,901
Then make sure you say you did it
in Monday's memo for the director.
487
00:41:26,020 --> 00:41:27,226
Thank you.
488
00:41:30,100 --> 00:41:32,387
Your daily Watergate briefing.
489
00:41:34,740 --> 00:41:37,789
Thanks, Charlie. May I call you Charlie?
490
00:41:39,540 --> 00:41:42,862
How much of what we are getting
on Watergate am I actually seeing?
491
00:41:45,220 --> 00:41:47,268
Mr. Felt gives me the headlines.
I type them up.
492
00:41:47,340 --> 00:41:49,911
I give Mr. Felt the original
and bring you a copy.
493
00:41:51,460 --> 00:41:54,031
Mr. Felt doesn't want
to waste your time with details.
494
00:42:01,500 --> 00:42:02,501
Okay.
495
00:42:03,900 --> 00:42:05,311
Okay, Mr. Gray.
496
00:42:17,940 --> 00:42:19,305
Mr. Kunkel!
497
00:42:20,820 --> 00:42:23,380
Director Gray wanted you to know
he understands you and your boys
498
00:42:23,420 --> 00:42:24,865
are doing a hell of a job.
499
00:42:25,300 --> 00:42:28,782
Well, thank Mr. Gray, and not to worry.
We'll gather the whole ball of yarn.
500
00:42:28,860 --> 00:42:30,544
Mr. Gray also wanted you to know
501
00:42:30,620 --> 00:42:34,750
that there was gonna be a small change
in procedure in the information flow.
502
00:42:35,820 --> 00:42:38,903
How and, more precisely, where it flows.
503
00:42:39,140 --> 00:42:42,110
Not just the headlines,
but the story itself.
504
00:42:42,420 --> 00:42:44,582
The details, as it were.
505
00:42:46,220 --> 00:42:48,302
Does Mr. Felt know?
506
00:42:49,620 --> 00:42:51,065
Of course.
507
00:43:46,300 --> 00:43:48,507
Angie Lano called me last night.
508
00:43:49,820 --> 00:43:51,470
He told me
that he called the White House
509
00:43:51,580 --> 00:43:53,548
to set up a round of interviews.
510
00:43:53,900 --> 00:43:56,187
Half hour later
the White House called back
511
00:43:56,260 --> 00:43:59,184
to tell me that we can't talk
to two of the guys
512
00:43:59,580 --> 00:44:02,060
because their names
were taken off the list.
513
00:44:02,980 --> 00:44:04,505
The two names you told me.
514
00:44:05,860 --> 00:44:07,862
How would the White House know?
515
00:44:08,820 --> 00:44:10,868
I guess somebody told them.
516
00:44:12,220 --> 00:44:14,985
The only people who knew
were me and you.
517
00:44:16,300 --> 00:44:17,790
And Mr. Gray.
518
00:44:19,580 --> 00:44:21,025
And Mr. Gray.
519
00:44:23,860 --> 00:44:25,988
We need to find out what Gray has,
520
00:44:27,300 --> 00:44:28,984
and how he's getting it.
521
00:44:33,060 --> 00:44:35,062
Did I do something wrong?
522
00:44:35,140 --> 00:44:36,710
Mr. Bates tells me
523
00:44:37,740 --> 00:44:41,506
you've been giving Mr. Gray everything
we're collecting on Watergate.
524
00:44:42,420 --> 00:44:44,707
All our interviews, all of our files.
525
00:44:46,860 --> 00:44:49,591
Did Mr. Gray tell you to bypass me?
526
00:44:49,740 --> 00:44:51,788
Well, he didn't say
it was a secret or anything.
527
00:44:55,060 --> 00:44:57,062
But he said that you knew.
528
00:44:58,940 --> 00:45:01,864
How often did you give him our files?
529
00:45:01,940 --> 00:45:03,624
- Every day.
- Why?
530
00:45:05,180 --> 00:45:07,182
We know why.
531
00:45:11,780 --> 00:45:15,227
Did you give the Attorney General
any information about our investigation?
532
00:45:15,300 --> 00:45:17,780
- I don't talk to the Attorney General.
- Did you, Mr. Bates?
533
00:45:19,140 --> 00:45:20,630
Mr. Miller?
534
00:45:26,060 --> 00:45:28,062
The Attorney General
called me this morning
535
00:45:28,220 --> 00:45:31,588
about something
he could only have heard from the FBI.
536
00:45:38,660 --> 00:45:40,788
He's putting a box around Watergate.
537
00:45:42,660 --> 00:45:45,584
We can't touch anything
before the break-in.
538
00:45:45,660 --> 00:45:48,550
We have to stay away
from all the White House corruption.
539
00:45:49,900 --> 00:45:53,621
In other words,
the crimes that matter don't matter.
540
00:45:54,380 --> 00:45:57,623
For the first time in its history,
the FBI
541
00:45:58,780 --> 00:46:00,782
has been quarantined.
542
00:46:00,860 --> 00:46:04,831
Crimes that it knows about
will go uninvestigated.
543
00:46:09,260 --> 00:46:11,911
- Mr. Felt...
- Thank you, Mr. Kunkel.
544
00:46:25,180 --> 00:46:28,343
So, with everything we have right now,
545
00:46:29,940 --> 00:46:32,022
if we could get indictments,
546
00:46:33,860 --> 00:46:37,342
in your opinion, who would we get?
547
00:46:38,420 --> 00:46:39,751
How high?
548
00:46:42,980 --> 00:46:44,869
Maybe Attorney General.
549
00:46:48,580 --> 00:46:50,105
What about the president?
550
00:46:55,060 --> 00:46:56,869
What about the president?
551
00:46:57,620 --> 00:46:59,907
If the president's lying...
552
00:47:01,860 --> 00:47:03,510
ls the president lying?
553
00:47:03,580 --> 00:47:05,264
They're all lying.
554
00:47:07,900 --> 00:47:09,186
Then, yes.
555
00:47:11,980 --> 00:47:13,345
Maybe the president.
556
00:47:15,300 --> 00:47:17,348
As the investigations went forward,
557
00:47:17,420 --> 00:47:22,187
I repeatedly asked
those conducting the investigation
558
00:47:22,580 --> 00:47:24,901
whether there was any reason to believe
559
00:47:24,980 --> 00:47:29,065
that members of my administration
were in any way involved.
560
00:47:29,900 --> 00:47:34,224
I received repeated assurances
that there were none.
561
00:47:34,540 --> 00:47:36,781
I discounted the stories in the press.
562
00:47:36,980 --> 00:47:39,665
Who do you think gave
the orders to bug the Watergate?
563
00:47:39,900 --> 00:47:43,143
Well,
the persons who the grand jury indicted
564
00:47:43,220 --> 00:47:44,870
in Washington, DC, last week,
565
00:47:45,020 --> 00:47:46,590
gave the orders to do it.
566
00:47:46,660 --> 00:47:48,150
You don't think
they were following orders, then?
567
00:47:48,340 --> 00:47:50,069
- No, I do not.
- There's nobody higher?
568
00:47:50,140 --> 00:47:52,188
There has been no evidence
presented that anybody did that.
569
00:47:52,300 --> 00:47:54,985
I think the opposition is disappointed
570
00:47:55,060 --> 00:47:57,791
that after such a thorough,
intensive investigation
571
00:47:57,860 --> 00:48:00,340
that just seven persons were indicted.
572
00:48:00,420 --> 00:48:02,946
The Watergate break-in
took a dramatic turn
573
00:48:03,020 --> 00:48:04,226
when one of the defendants,
574
00:48:04,300 --> 00:48:06,587
former White House consultant
E. Howard Hunt,
575
00:48:06,660 --> 00:48:07,946
changed his plea to guilty.
576
00:48:08,020 --> 00:48:10,944
The judge accepted
the guilty pleas of the four Miami men
577
00:48:11,020 --> 00:48:13,261
on the condition
that they answer his questions
578
00:48:13,340 --> 00:48:15,627
on who else was involved in Watergate.
579
00:48:15,700 --> 00:48:19,864
With the crucial questions
of who, and what, were behind it all
580
00:48:19,940 --> 00:48:21,066
still unanswered.
581
00:48:22,780 --> 00:48:24,748
I got a call
from across the river.
582
00:48:25,820 --> 00:48:28,505
- Which river is that?
- The Potomac.
583
00:48:28,740 --> 00:48:30,071
The CIA.
584
00:48:31,060 --> 00:48:33,540
The CIA is telling us
we need to taper off.
585
00:48:33,620 --> 00:48:35,349
Taper off?
586
00:48:36,180 --> 00:48:38,786
- We're getting too close.
- Too close to what?
587
00:48:38,860 --> 00:48:40,021
I can't tell you.
588
00:48:40,100 --> 00:48:42,148
You can't, or you won't?
589
00:48:42,220 --> 00:48:44,222
It's a matter of national security.
590
00:48:44,380 --> 00:48:48,704
We are doing everything that
we can to investigate this incident.
591
00:48:48,980 --> 00:48:52,541
No one on the White House staff,
no one in this administration
592
00:48:52,620 --> 00:48:56,341
was involved in this
very bizarre incident.
593
00:48:57,060 --> 00:48:59,631
The CIA is telling us
we need to taper off.
594
00:49:00,380 --> 00:49:02,462
Disappointed. Disappointed.
595
00:49:02,540 --> 00:49:04,588
No one in this administration...
596
00:49:04,660 --> 00:49:07,982
We're getting too close.
It's a matter of national security.
597
00:49:11,580 --> 00:49:14,345
A bomb exploded
early this morning in the Pentagon
598
00:49:14,420 --> 00:49:16,627
and left-wing terrorists
telephoned newspapers
599
00:49:16,740 --> 00:49:18,105
to say they were responsible.
600
00:49:19,900 --> 00:49:21,425
People calling themselves members
of the Weather Underground...
601
00:49:21,500 --> 00:49:22,911
- Yes?
- Are you watching this?
602
00:49:22,980 --> 00:49:24,220
I see it.
603
00:49:24,900 --> 00:49:27,380
- What about the White House?
- It's at the top of their list.
604
00:49:27,500 --> 00:49:29,104
I told you that three months ago.
605
00:49:29,180 --> 00:49:33,788
- But can they really hit it?
- They just hit the Pentagon.
606
00:49:34,300 --> 00:49:36,189
I want us to open files on every member
607
00:49:36,300 --> 00:49:38,951
of every counterculture organization
in the country.
608
00:49:39,020 --> 00:49:41,546
Hunt them to exhaustion.
No holds barred.
609
00:49:42,060 --> 00:49:44,540
The president is fighting
for the White House.
610
00:49:44,740 --> 00:49:46,390
That's not my job.
611
00:49:46,620 --> 00:49:48,065
The president needs order.
612
00:49:48,140 --> 00:49:50,666
I promised the president
he'd have order.
613
00:49:53,740 --> 00:49:56,425
Which brings me
to my next point, Felt.
614
00:49:57,900 --> 00:50:00,221
I spoke to the Attorney General.
615
00:50:01,780 --> 00:50:04,704
The Attorney General
is going to officially announce
616
00:50:04,860 --> 00:50:08,182
we have found nothing
connecting the president on Watergate.
617
00:50:08,260 --> 00:50:10,740
What? But that's not real.
618
00:50:10,820 --> 00:50:15,701
I know. And the president knows
you are still pursuing it.
619
00:50:18,180 --> 00:50:20,308
You're never going to find
what you're chasing.
620
00:50:20,380 --> 00:50:23,031
I want it to end.
It's time to finish it.
621
00:50:23,140 --> 00:50:24,790
Shut it down.
622
00:50:27,300 --> 00:50:30,224
I hear you and your wife
are registered Democrats, Mark.
623
00:50:30,860 --> 00:50:32,942
I hope you're not going
to let that get in the way.
624
00:50:37,780 --> 00:50:40,260
The Weather Underground,
they're combining.
625
00:50:40,340 --> 00:50:42,104
They're multiplying.
626
00:50:42,180 --> 00:50:43,750
We'll never get warrants. Not now.
627
00:50:43,820 --> 00:50:44,821
Warrants?
628
00:50:45,140 --> 00:50:48,110
We're not talking about the kids
sleeping out there in the parks.
629
00:50:48,180 --> 00:50:52,071
We're talking about people who would
burn your children alive in their beds.
630
00:50:52,140 --> 00:50:54,302
People die because we stick
to the letter of the law,
631
00:50:54,420 --> 00:50:56,582
we lose everything, including the law.
632
00:50:57,580 --> 00:50:58,741
We're taking off the gloves.
633
00:50:59,460 --> 00:51:01,827
Entries, taps, nothing on paper.
634
00:51:01,900 --> 00:51:03,709
No warrants.
635
00:51:03,780 --> 00:51:05,623
Mr. Miller's people
report to Mr. Miller.
636
00:51:05,700 --> 00:51:06,861
Mr. Miller reports to me.
637
00:51:06,940 --> 00:51:08,544
Just like the bad old days.
638
00:51:08,860 --> 00:51:10,783
Where's Bill Sullivan when you need him?
639
00:51:10,860 --> 00:51:12,430
He's over at the White House,
640
00:51:12,500 --> 00:51:16,186
protecting the nation by spying
on senators and their mistresses
641
00:51:16,420 --> 00:51:20,061
while we're here just trying to
keep all this goddamn mess together.
642
00:51:26,940 --> 00:51:28,180
Hey, look.
643
00:51:29,780 --> 00:51:31,430
We're on your side here.
644
00:51:31,900 --> 00:51:34,028
All I'm saying is,
all that was behind us.
645
00:51:34,260 --> 00:51:35,910
Even Hoover knew
the dirty stuff was over.
646
00:51:35,980 --> 00:51:37,391
That's why Bill's gone.
647
00:51:38,380 --> 00:51:41,270
All I'm saying is, everyone is watching.
648
00:51:41,540 --> 00:51:44,146
How many more kids do we have to lose?
649
00:51:44,260 --> 00:51:47,230
How many more
do we let just vanish into eternity?
650
00:51:47,940 --> 00:51:49,829
I am not Bill Sullivan.
651
00:51:50,620 --> 00:51:53,066
This is still the goddamn FBI.
652
00:52:15,660 --> 00:52:17,025
I don't want to intrude.
653
00:52:18,420 --> 00:52:19,546
Then don't.
654
00:52:24,180 --> 00:52:25,261
You heard from her?
655
00:52:26,860 --> 00:52:28,146
Joan.
656
00:52:31,340 --> 00:52:33,661
You think she's involved with all this?
657
00:52:34,780 --> 00:52:36,020
The Underground?
658
00:52:37,700 --> 00:52:39,031
How could she?
659
00:52:39,740 --> 00:52:42,027
She's just like me. Exactly like me.
660
00:52:42,100 --> 00:52:43,340
She worships you.
661
00:52:49,780 --> 00:52:50,827
She's okay.
662
00:52:52,980 --> 00:52:54,220
I can feel it, Mark.
663
00:52:57,340 --> 00:52:59,911
There's a price to pay for what we do,
Mr. Miller.
664
00:53:00,020 --> 00:53:02,261
There's a price to pay
for what we become.
665
00:53:04,300 --> 00:53:06,507
We all pay it, one way or another.
666
00:53:09,220 --> 00:53:11,188
Watergate
was the most intensive,
667
00:53:11,260 --> 00:53:14,662
objective and thorough investigation
668
00:53:15,060 --> 00:53:19,702
in the history of the
US Attorney's office and the FBI.
669
00:53:20,740 --> 00:53:23,823
The Justice Department has now completed
670
00:53:24,340 --> 00:53:26,911
its criminal investigation
671
00:53:26,980 --> 00:53:30,063
without implicating any present official
672
00:53:30,660 --> 00:53:32,264
of either the White House
673
00:53:32,780 --> 00:53:35,829
or the Committee
to Re-elect the President.
674
00:53:36,140 --> 00:53:37,426
- Completed?
- Any questions?
675
00:53:37,540 --> 00:53:38,780
What the hell, man?
676
00:53:39,300 --> 00:53:40,665
Get me Felt on the phone.
677
00:53:40,740 --> 00:53:42,504
- As to the White House?
- Hold on, hold on. Wait a second.
678
00:53:42,700 --> 00:53:47,627
I understand the FBi's Watergate
investigation is in a state of repose
679
00:53:47,700 --> 00:53:49,702
and unlikely to be reopened.
680
00:53:49,780 --> 00:53:51,782
Anybody tell us this was over yet?
681
00:53:52,380 --> 00:53:55,190
Get me Felt on the phone! Or Bates!
682
00:53:56,500 --> 00:53:57,865
God damn it, get me Felt!
683
00:53:57,980 --> 00:53:59,345
- She can't.
- Why the hell not?
684
00:53:59,420 --> 00:54:00,945
'Cause he's right there.
685
00:54:01,020 --> 00:54:04,547
And now, let's return to the press
conference of the US Attorney General.
686
00:54:51,380 --> 00:54:52,586
Maybe she's dead.
687
00:54:56,700 --> 00:54:58,350
Maybe she just gave up.
688
00:54:59,340 --> 00:55:01,104
Didn't think anybody cared.
689
00:55:04,180 --> 00:55:06,467
Maybe she's right out there watching us.
690
00:55:07,660 --> 00:55:09,708
To see what a man like you does
691
00:55:09,780 --> 00:55:12,021
when your daughter
just vanishes one night
692
00:55:12,100 --> 00:55:13,590
for no good reason.
693
00:55:13,660 --> 00:55:15,185
Joan had a reason for everything.
694
00:55:16,220 --> 00:55:17,346
You hated her.
695
00:55:23,300 --> 00:55:25,109
Mothers don't hate their daughters.
696
00:55:26,860 --> 00:55:29,101
It's just not always easy being one.
697
00:55:29,700 --> 00:55:31,668
You dressed her up like a doll,
698
00:55:32,540 --> 00:55:34,861
until she got old enough
to look just like you.
699
00:55:34,940 --> 00:55:35,941
Mark.
700
00:55:36,020 --> 00:55:38,671
You kept telling her to get out
until one day she listened to you.
701
00:55:38,740 --> 00:55:40,185
Listen to me.
702
00:55:41,340 --> 00:55:42,751
I had no mother.
703
00:55:42,820 --> 00:55:44,310
But she did.
704
00:55:44,380 --> 00:55:45,586
Yes.
705
00:55:46,460 --> 00:55:47,541
She did.
706
00:55:48,500 --> 00:55:49,911
My father just left.
707
00:55:51,780 --> 00:55:53,782
So, yes, she gave me up
708
00:55:54,860 --> 00:55:56,544
to foster homes,
709
00:55:57,060 --> 00:55:58,789
then the orphanage.
710
00:56:01,380 --> 00:56:03,428
- But you know all about that, don't you?
- Yeah.
711
00:56:10,380 --> 00:56:12,189
Then I made my own way.
712
00:56:14,500 --> 00:56:15,831
Until you.
713
00:56:16,860 --> 00:56:18,225
My White knight.
714
00:56:21,220 --> 00:56:24,269
Our homes are the only homes
I've ever known.
715
00:56:32,740 --> 00:56:34,583
You were both mine.
716
00:56:38,300 --> 00:56:39,301
How's home, Mark?
717
00:56:42,900 --> 00:56:44,106
Why are you asking?
718
00:56:44,820 --> 00:56:46,584
That daughter of yours, Jill?
719
00:56:48,380 --> 00:56:49,381
Joan.
720
00:56:50,420 --> 00:56:51,910
Well, I hear she's terrific.
721
00:56:53,140 --> 00:56:56,144
Fulbright scholar,
first girl in the country.
722
00:56:57,940 --> 00:56:59,510
A chip off the old block.
723
00:57:06,220 --> 00:57:09,702
I want you to be the first
to hear my statement to the press.
724
00:57:15,180 --> 00:57:16,989
"No pressure has been put on me
725
00:57:17,820 --> 00:57:21,188
"or any of my special agents
in the FBI's investigation
726
00:57:21,260 --> 00:57:24,707
"and that it strains..." I thought
I would just nip this in the bud.
727
00:57:25,260 --> 00:57:27,866
"It strains credulity
that President Nixon
728
00:57:27,980 --> 00:57:30,381
"could have done a con job
on the whole American people."
729
00:57:32,980 --> 00:57:34,391
What do you think?
730
00:57:37,220 --> 00:57:38,745
It's just fine.
731
00:57:43,740 --> 00:57:46,505
The Democrats
have issued a statement this morning.
732
00:57:48,220 --> 00:57:52,111
"The FBI's Watergate investigation
is a whitewash.
733
00:57:54,700 --> 00:57:58,944
"What is involved here is not only
the political life of this nation
734
00:57:59,900 --> 00:58:03,871
"but the very morality of our leaders
735
00:58:05,140 --> 00:58:08,781
"at a time when the United States
desperately needs to revitalize
736
00:58:08,860 --> 00:58:11,067
"its moral standards."
737
00:58:13,940 --> 00:58:17,387
"The FBI's Watergate investigation
738
00:58:19,900 --> 00:58:21,345
"is a whitewash."
739
00:58:25,700 --> 00:58:26,986
That's it.
740
00:58:33,300 --> 00:58:34,984
Well, gentlemen.
741
00:58:35,060 --> 00:58:36,585
Here's what we know.
742
00:58:37,820 --> 00:58:40,346
We know what we've heard
out of the Department of Justice
743
00:58:40,420 --> 00:58:42,309
the past two days is bullshit.
744
00:58:44,780 --> 00:58:47,829
We know the men
who broke into the Watergate
745
00:58:47,900 --> 00:58:49,584
are not the end of this thing,
746
00:58:51,260 --> 00:58:52,705
but the beginning.
747
00:58:53,660 --> 00:58:55,389
We know this is the latest link
748
00:58:55,460 --> 00:59:00,500
in a chain of illegal,
covert intelligence operations
749
00:59:00,900 --> 00:59:02,948
by the president's re-election campaign.
750
00:59:04,060 --> 00:59:07,382
We know we are facing obstruction
from multiple fronts.
751
00:59:07,460 --> 00:59:08,871
From the White House.
752
00:59:09,260 --> 00:59:10,750
From the CIA.
753
00:59:11,860 --> 00:59:14,466
From the Attorney General
of the United States,
754
00:59:14,540 --> 00:59:17,225
who is our boss, by the way.
755
00:59:18,420 --> 00:59:21,867
It is not our job to speculate
on the involvement of the president.
756
00:59:24,340 --> 00:59:26,707
It is our job
to follow the bread crumbs.
757
00:59:27,940 --> 00:59:31,387
But those bread crumbs
appear to be taking us
758
00:59:31,460 --> 00:59:33,986
on a tour of the West Wing
of the White House,
759
00:59:35,900 --> 00:59:38,665
and in the general direction
of the Oval Office.
760
00:59:40,380 --> 00:59:44,988
We also know we've been ordered
to shut down our pursuit of all this
761
00:59:45,060 --> 00:59:46,505
as of today.
762
00:59:48,060 --> 00:59:50,950
And we know that except
for the 30 men in this room,
763
00:59:52,620 --> 00:59:56,067
no one in the entire country
knows any of this
764
00:59:56,140 --> 00:59:58,666
and may never know any of this.
765
01:00:02,820 --> 01:00:06,347
No one can stop the driving force
of an FBI investigation.
766
01:00:07,020 --> 01:00:09,022
Not even the FBI.
767
01:00:37,980 --> 01:00:39,186
Segretti.
768
01:01:17,260 --> 01:01:18,944
I'm going to give you the name of a man
769
01:01:19,020 --> 01:01:21,421
who was asked to work
for the Nixon administration
770
01:01:22,340 --> 01:01:23,830
in an unusual way.
771
01:01:24,740 --> 01:01:25,820
What are you talking about?
772
01:01:26,780 --> 01:01:29,989
There's only one way to understand
what Watergate really means,
773
01:01:30,060 --> 01:01:31,266
and this is it.
774
01:01:33,340 --> 01:01:34,387
The name
775
01:01:37,100 --> 01:01:39,068
is Alex Shipley.
776
01:01:39,140 --> 01:01:40,187
Shipley.-
777
01:01:41,340 --> 01:01:43,183
He lives in Nashville.
778
01:01:43,260 --> 01:01:46,901
The man who approached him
was a lawyer out of LA
779
01:01:46,980 --> 01:01:48,470
named Donald Segretti.
780
01:01:48,980 --> 01:01:49,981
Segretti.
781
01:01:52,180 --> 01:01:54,421
Shipley can tell you everything
you need to know.
782
01:01:54,980 --> 01:01:56,391
Will Shipley talk?
783
01:01:57,700 --> 01:02:00,226
I guess you're going
to have to find that out.
784
01:02:00,860 --> 01:02:01,907
One more thing.
785
01:02:03,740 --> 01:02:06,505
This comes from classified FBI files.
786
01:02:07,020 --> 01:02:09,830
The Department of Justice has it,
the White House has it,
787
01:02:11,100 --> 01:02:12,625
and, now, you have it.
788
01:02:15,340 --> 01:02:18,901
Let's just get on
with the election and stop this nonsense
789
01:02:19,020 --> 01:02:21,227
about there having been
a political espionage campaign
790
01:02:21,300 --> 01:02:22,301
against the Democrats.
791
01:02:22,380 --> 01:02:24,860
Here's what's making
the news at the top of the hour.
792
01:02:24,940 --> 01:02:29,070
North Vietnamese military attempts
to break through South Vietnamese lines
793
01:02:29,140 --> 01:02:32,940
have been met with an intense
bombing attack by a US aircraft.
794
01:02:33,020 --> 01:02:36,581
General Creighton Abrams,
the United States commander in Vietnam,
795
01:02:36,660 --> 01:02:38,742
ordered every available B-52
796
01:02:38,820 --> 01:02:40,663
into the northern sector
of South Vietnam.
797
01:02:40,740 --> 01:02:42,549
Though baseball season is over,
798
01:02:42,620 --> 01:02:46,022
the Philadelphia Phils went to
the Ozarks for a new manager today.
799
01:02:46,100 --> 01:02:49,183
Los Angeles coach Danny Ozark
was the surprise choice
800
01:02:49,300 --> 01:02:51,985
of Phils' general manager, Paul Owens.
801
01:02:52,060 --> 01:02:55,303
Ozark has had no big league
managerial experience...
802
01:03:39,580 --> 01:03:40,820
Mr. Woodward.
803
01:03:43,420 --> 01:03:44,785
The story isn't moving.
804
01:03:45,900 --> 01:03:47,789
Everyone stopped listening to you.
805
01:03:47,900 --> 01:03:49,504
This isn't the same as before.
806
01:03:52,860 --> 01:03:54,191
We're lost in detail.
807
01:03:55,700 --> 01:03:57,304
That's their plan.
808
01:03:58,300 --> 01:04:00,826
They want everyone confused.
809
01:04:01,700 --> 01:04:03,543
Confusion is control.
810
01:04:09,860 --> 01:04:12,784
The truth could ruin the administration.
811
01:04:15,860 --> 01:04:16,907
How high?
812
01:04:18,020 --> 01:04:19,351
How high does it go?
813
01:04:28,340 --> 01:04:30,581
You still don't understand
what I'm giving you.
814
01:04:34,820 --> 01:04:37,790
This is dangerous stuff
you're playing with.
815
01:04:39,140 --> 01:04:41,825
Especially, if it's known
before November 7th.
816
01:04:43,380 --> 01:04:45,189
That's election day.
817
01:04:45,260 --> 01:04:48,150
You put out the right story,
the public will scream.
818
01:04:49,380 --> 01:04:51,747
The Attorney General
will have to let me keep going.
819
01:05:14,860 --> 01:05:17,625
My editors know
that I'm talking to somebody,
820
01:05:17,740 --> 01:05:18,980
but not who.
821
01:05:19,060 --> 01:05:20,300
They don't ask.
822
01:05:25,620 --> 01:05:28,749
No one understands
how one person knows so much.
823
01:05:28,820 --> 01:05:31,221
No one can possibly know
how much I know.
824
01:05:34,940 --> 01:05:36,430
With all this mystery,
825
01:05:37,700 --> 01:05:39,907
there's a nickname for you at the paper.
826
01:05:42,540 --> 01:05:44,702
- Deep Throat.
- What?
827
01:05:45,140 --> 01:05:47,108
They didn't know what else to call you.
828
01:05:48,180 --> 01:05:49,227
That's just...
829
01:05:50,940 --> 01:05:53,102
They shouldn't have to call me anything.
830
01:06:03,020 --> 01:06:05,307
Take out your notebook. There's more.
831
01:06:18,020 --> 01:06:22,184
"FBI agents have established
Watergate bugging incident,
832
01:06:22,380 --> 01:06:25,907
"massive campaign
of political spying and sabotage.
833
01:06:26,540 --> 01:06:28,260
"'There is some
very powerful information, '
834
01:06:28,300 --> 01:06:30,064
"said one federal official,
835
01:06:30,140 --> 01:06:31,505
“especially if it's known
before election day.".
836
01:06:31,580 --> 01:06:32,945
The White House
is vigorously denouncing a story
837
01:06:33,020 --> 01:06:34,431
in The Washington Post this morning
838
01:06:34,500 --> 01:06:38,107
accusing the administration
of engaging in a secret political war.
839
01:06:38,260 --> 01:06:41,104
White House Press Secretary
Ron Ziegler is calling the story
840
01:06:41,180 --> 01:06:43,387
a pack of scurrilous lies and innuendo.
841
01:06:43,500 --> 01:06:45,901
Based on baseless,
cowardly sources
842
01:06:45,980 --> 01:06:47,311
inside the Department of Justice.
843
01:06:52,820 --> 01:06:55,027
He's here, Mark. He has to be.
844
01:06:55,100 --> 01:06:56,989
There's a spy in the FBI.
845
01:06:57,420 --> 01:06:59,422
"FBI agents have established..."
846
01:06:59,500 --> 01:07:01,423
"One federal investigative
official said..."
847
01:07:01,500 --> 01:07:03,343
"According to FBI reports..."
848
01:07:03,420 --> 01:07:04,910
That's us, God damn it.
849
01:07:07,260 --> 01:07:11,868
There is information in here
that the bureau only got 72 hours ago.
850
01:07:12,060 --> 01:07:13,983
Are you goddamn joking?
851
01:07:15,660 --> 01:07:18,470
Mr. Felt,
you had something you wanted to say.
852
01:07:23,500 --> 01:07:25,707
The last few days,
I've heard various people
853
01:07:25,780 --> 01:07:28,260
accuse Mr. Lano of leaking to the press.
854
01:07:28,340 --> 01:07:29,830
- You've got to be kidding me!
- Him?
855
01:07:30,700 --> 01:07:33,067
And that he
and certain newspaper reporters
856
01:07:33,540 --> 01:07:35,500
- have been seen together.
- I'm going to be sick.
857
01:07:35,540 --> 01:07:38,384
I wanted to say to you, Mr. Lano,
in front of everyone here
858
01:07:38,980 --> 01:07:41,984
that I know these are
vicious lies by jealous agents.
859
01:07:44,020 --> 01:07:46,307
You're doing a fine job,
and no matter what,
860
01:07:46,380 --> 01:07:47,905
the director and I will support you.
861
01:07:48,780 --> 01:07:50,111
Mr. Gray.
862
01:07:51,780 --> 01:07:54,784
I may not be an FBI lifer
like some of you.
863
01:07:55,700 --> 01:07:57,623
I'm certainly no Mark Felt.
864
01:07:58,100 --> 01:08:01,343
Since I arrived here,
I have put up with paranoia,
865
01:08:01,820 --> 01:08:04,107
insubordination, second-guessing.
866
01:08:04,180 --> 01:08:06,148
Gentlemen, it's come to Jesus time.
867
01:08:08,100 --> 01:08:12,901
Whoever the leaker is,
whoever is the Judas among you,
868
01:08:12,980 --> 01:08:16,587
betraying me,
the other good men in this room,
869
01:08:16,660 --> 01:08:18,230
his family, God,
870
01:08:18,300 --> 01:08:21,429
not to mention the bureau
and the legacy of J. Edgar Hoover,
871
01:08:21,500 --> 01:08:22,547
step forward.
872
01:08:24,500 --> 01:08:27,504
Right here, right now.
873
01:08:52,260 --> 01:08:56,265
Charlie, we got an office pool
on who the leak is.
874
01:08:57,060 --> 01:08:58,789
My money's on you.
875
01:09:20,020 --> 01:09:21,620
It's just one big game, Charlie.
876
01:09:23,380 --> 01:09:25,826
We're all just chess pieces.
You gotta remember that.
877
01:09:28,260 --> 01:09:30,069
What's the body count?
878
01:09:31,140 --> 01:09:32,790
Eight, so far.
879
01:09:33,260 --> 01:09:36,662
You, me, a few guys on my team.
880
01:09:40,020 --> 01:09:42,751
- Where are they sending you?
- St. Louis.
881
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,988
But I don't know
how much more I have left in me.
882
01:09:48,660 --> 01:09:49,741
You'?
883
01:09:50,780 --> 01:09:52,020
San Francisco.
884
01:09:53,140 --> 01:09:54,471
Well, at least, it's Frisco.
885
01:09:55,340 --> 01:09:56,387
Yeah.
886
01:09:58,700 --> 01:09:59,747
Great.
887
01:10:01,780 --> 01:10:03,862
How many years you put in here, Charlie?
888
01:10:11,100 --> 01:10:12,147
The whole run.
889
01:10:13,420 --> 01:10:14,945
My kids were born here.
890
01:10:20,860 --> 01:10:23,227
Whatever Watergate was,
whatever it wasn't,
891
01:10:23,300 --> 01:10:26,304
the American people don't seem
to understand, nor care,
892
01:10:26,540 --> 01:10:29,384
as Nixon has won in a landslide.
893
01:10:39,820 --> 01:10:42,027
I appreciate you taking the time,
Mr. Felt.
894
01:10:42,660 --> 01:10:45,869
I always take care of my people,
Mr. Bates.
895
01:10:48,380 --> 01:10:50,860
In fact, my father always said to me,
896
01:10:51,220 --> 01:10:57,262
"Mark, whatever we do,
we have to make our lives vectors."
897
01:10:57,580 --> 01:11:01,949
Lines with force and direction.
898
01:11:06,900 --> 01:11:12,031
You have to destroy anything
that is sick beyond repair
899
01:11:12,100 --> 01:11:15,149
to rescue it from its agony.
900
01:11:15,220 --> 01:11:16,301
Mark.
901
01:11:17,460 --> 01:11:18,461
And...
902
01:11:19,220 --> 01:11:23,225
And the agony it causes everyone else,
Mr. Bates.
903
01:11:31,980 --> 01:11:35,109
It was thought that he might
have a little bit of difficulty.
904
01:11:49,540 --> 01:11:51,827
- Mr. Felt.
- What are you doing, Charlie?
905
01:11:57,380 --> 01:11:59,462
What is it, Mr. Bates?
906
01:12:11,580 --> 01:12:13,981
Here's to you. Bravo.
907
01:13:27,700 --> 01:13:29,987
Genesis commune.
908
01:13:30,060 --> 01:13:31,869
Ben Lomond, California.
909
01:13:32,500 --> 01:13:33,626
Check it thoroughly.
910
01:13:56,620 --> 01:13:59,464
These leaks
are driving the White House crazy.
911
01:14:01,140 --> 01:14:02,983
The White House
thinks it knows who it is.
912
01:14:04,820 --> 01:14:06,231
Your name came up.
913
01:14:09,660 --> 01:14:15,508
Do you have any idea
what that would mean?
914
01:14:15,860 --> 01:14:17,385
Treason, for one.
915
01:14:18,100 --> 01:14:21,104
Betrayal of everything
the FBI stands for, for another.
916
01:14:21,180 --> 01:14:22,944
Everything you stand for.
917
01:14:23,860 --> 01:14:25,464
So, why would I do it?
918
01:14:26,220 --> 01:14:27,301
I don't know.
919
01:14:28,660 --> 01:14:30,628
I can't imagine their thinking.
920
01:14:33,860 --> 01:14:35,783
Why don't they fire me then?
921
01:14:36,500 --> 01:14:37,911
You know everything.
922
01:14:38,940 --> 01:14:42,990
To them, the only thing worse
than keeping you is firing you.
923
01:14:47,380 --> 01:14:49,109
Dean did say something strange.
924
01:14:49,540 --> 01:14:52,384
Apparently, they know everything
going on inside our shop.
925
01:14:52,900 --> 01:14:56,029
- They have a source.
- Inside the FBI?
926
01:14:56,580 --> 01:15:01,825
He said they hear everything.
927
01:15:21,740 --> 01:15:24,141
We just swept your office for bugs,
Mr. Felt.
928
01:15:24,220 --> 01:15:25,631
Do it again!
929
01:15:43,460 --> 01:15:44,746
The knives are out.
930
01:15:45,700 --> 01:15:47,111
More than you know.
931
01:15:48,300 --> 01:15:49,426
Am I safe?
932
01:15:50,060 --> 01:15:51,107
No One is.
933
01:15:52,300 --> 01:15:55,349
The White House
is gonna sanitize the entire town.
934
01:15:55,500 --> 01:15:59,107
The director of Central Intelligence
will be gone by morning.
935
01:15:59,180 --> 01:16:00,306
Why?
936
01:16:00,380 --> 01:16:03,702
Apparently, he couldn't
smoke you out fast enough.
937
01:16:05,260 --> 01:16:06,386
The source
938
01:16:07,820 --> 01:16:09,390
of all those stories.
939
01:16:11,940 --> 01:16:13,590
Where does the CIA stand?
940
01:16:14,860 --> 01:16:17,022
The CIA is building a wall.
941
01:16:18,380 --> 01:16:19,506
We'll stay out of your way,
942
01:16:19,580 --> 01:16:21,503
but if we're forced
to protect ourselves,
943
01:16:21,980 --> 01:16:22,981
we will.
944
01:16:24,100 --> 01:16:27,422
The FBI will
never reach the CIA on this.
945
01:16:27,500 --> 01:16:28,786
And the White House?
946
01:16:29,500 --> 01:16:32,151
Presidents come and go,
947
01:16:32,260 --> 01:16:33,750
but the CIA stays.
948
01:16:34,380 --> 01:16:35,745
The FBI stays.
949
01:16:37,980 --> 01:16:39,470
We are the constants.
950
01:16:41,180 --> 01:16:42,466
I almost forgot.
951
01:16:43,820 --> 01:16:47,461
Time magazine's person of the year
is going to be Richard Nixon.
952
01:16:51,620 --> 01:16:52,906
I thought you'd like to know.
953
01:16:55,980 --> 01:16:57,027
Happy holidays.
954
01:17:36,620 --> 01:17:39,385
The president told me
the unthinkable has happened.
955
01:17:40,260 --> 01:17:42,069
He actually misses Hoover.
956
01:17:43,300 --> 01:17:45,462
"Hoover would have gotten
the dogs off him," he said.
957
01:17:46,340 --> 01:17:48,342
"He'd have everyone scared to death."
958
01:17:57,620 --> 01:18:00,783
The White House is going
to make me director permanently.
959
01:18:01,900 --> 01:18:03,106
Congratulations.
960
01:18:07,740 --> 01:18:09,868
Bill Sullivan
will be my number two.
961
01:18:21,020 --> 01:18:22,909
You know what the president
said to me today?
962
01:18:23,020 --> 01:18:26,866
He said, "The Germans had the right idea
during World War ll.
963
01:18:28,260 --> 01:18:32,151
"If they went through a town and one
of their soldiers got hit by a sniper,
964
01:18:32,220 --> 01:18:35,588
"they'd line up the whole goddamn town
and kill everyone."
965
01:18:38,180 --> 01:18:42,265
He said,
"It's time to clean out the FBI."
966
01:18:47,700 --> 01:18:49,748
You know what that will mean for me.
967
01:18:49,820 --> 01:18:51,424
Remember, they're afraid of you.
968
01:18:58,020 --> 01:19:01,069
Mark, if you did know something,
you could come to me.
969
01:19:01,540 --> 01:19:04,260
We'd be able to work it out together.
We could do something about it.
970
01:19:06,460 --> 01:19:08,349
I can't protect you anymore.
971
01:19:11,540 --> 01:19:13,065
Just give 'em what they want.
972
01:19:14,820 --> 01:19:16,663
The traitor's head on a platter.
973
01:20:05,420 --> 01:20:07,582
So, the president asked me
what he should do.
974
01:20:07,660 --> 01:20:11,381
And, I tell him, get rid of everyone
in the interest of the nation.
975
01:20:11,980 --> 01:20:13,584
I didn't mean me, of course.
976
01:20:18,660 --> 01:20:20,503
You don't have many friends left,
you know.
977
01:20:21,380 --> 01:20:24,748
A bunch of your FBI pals
told me to cut your nuts off.
978
01:20:28,340 --> 01:20:30,422
Think they'll let you keep your badge?
979
01:20:31,500 --> 01:20:33,343
You got a lot of people worried
in Washington.
980
01:20:33,900 --> 01:20:35,540
They think
you're gonna unwrap everything.
981
01:20:36,100 --> 01:20:37,750
Everything from all the years.
982
01:20:38,180 --> 01:20:42,788
Everything we, you and I, know.
983
01:20:43,060 --> 01:20:44,630
Is that what you want to know, Bill?
984
01:20:46,220 --> 01:20:48,746
This your last little errand?
985
01:20:50,860 --> 01:20:52,544
To help the president sleep at night.
986
01:20:54,660 --> 01:20:56,742
I'm just sayin', you open those scabs,
987
01:20:58,500 --> 01:20:59,865
a lot of things underneath.
988
01:21:01,060 --> 01:21:02,710
Just remember, no one likes informers.
989
01:21:03,740 --> 01:21:05,583
They only remember you as a rat,
990
01:21:05,900 --> 01:21:09,222
even if you were their...
Even if you were their rat!
991
01:21:16,420 --> 01:21:19,981
Mr. Felt, Mr. Miller's on the phone.
He needs to speak with you.
992
01:21:38,020 --> 01:21:40,500
- This is Special Agent Clark.
- I don't want to know his name.
993
01:21:41,620 --> 01:21:43,384
Tell him what you told Mr. Bates and me.
994
01:21:44,180 --> 01:21:46,420
I don't think you have anything
to worry about, Mr. Felt.
995
01:21:47,980 --> 01:21:49,345
You don't think.
996
01:21:49,420 --> 01:21:50,501
Specific.
997
01:21:56,620 --> 01:21:59,544
The commune where the subject,
Joan Felt...
998
01:21:59,660 --> 01:22:01,025
Do not say her name.
999
01:22:06,140 --> 01:22:07,187
Where the target is...
1000
01:22:09,180 --> 01:22:11,023
Definitely some people
of interest in there.
1001
01:22:13,060 --> 01:22:15,301
- Maybe some with the Underground.
- But the target?
1002
01:22:18,580 --> 01:22:20,025
If you ask me,
1003
01:22:21,340 --> 01:22:23,468
just someone's kid
looking for a way home.
1004
01:22:34,900 --> 01:22:37,062
We never spoke. No paper.
1005
01:22:37,140 --> 01:22:38,301
You don't know anything.
1006
01:23:08,420 --> 01:23:10,149
Do you know your physics, Sandy?
1007
01:23:12,420 --> 01:23:13,945
If you tap repeatedly
1008
01:23:14,860 --> 01:23:17,704
on the post of a building,
and the tapping is relentless,
1009
01:23:20,220 --> 01:23:21,460
it creates a rhythm.
1010
01:23:22,900 --> 01:23:26,347
If you do that long enough
and steadily enough, it will feed back.
1011
01:23:26,420 --> 01:23:28,548
The frequencies will align,
1012
01:23:28,620 --> 01:23:30,588
the molecules will scramble,
1013
01:23:30,660 --> 01:23:35,541
and the whole thing, the whole building
will come apart from the inside
1014
01:23:35,660 --> 01:23:37,264
and collapse in on itself,
1015
01:23:37,380 --> 01:23:39,428
and all come tumbling down.
1016
01:23:40,940 --> 01:23:42,942
The molecules are beginning to scramble.
1017
01:23:43,020 --> 01:23:46,069
The FBI is coming apart.
Do you know where that takes us?
1018
01:23:46,380 --> 01:23:49,543
Do you want a country
this big, this angry, this confused
1019
01:23:49,620 --> 01:23:51,224
without a police department?
1020
01:23:56,540 --> 01:23:57,871
Get out your notebook.
1021
01:24:00,300 --> 01:24:02,951
May, 1969 and February, 1971.
1022
01:24:03,020 --> 01:24:06,706
Mark, are you sure about this?
1023
01:24:06,820 --> 01:24:09,869
Between those dates,
White House employees were wiretapped.
1024
01:24:09,940 --> 01:24:12,784
Many of them aides
to the Secretary of State
1025
01:24:13,020 --> 01:24:15,705
and five reporters,
including The New York Times.
1026
01:24:17,180 --> 01:24:18,511
You're kidding.
1027
01:24:22,900 --> 01:24:25,551
- This is hard for you.
- What part?
1028
01:24:27,900 --> 01:24:29,664
All this truth.
1029
01:24:32,220 --> 01:24:34,985
The truth is hard for you.
1030
01:24:42,380 --> 01:24:46,704
The FBI illegally,
unconstitutionally and reprehensibly
1031
01:24:46,780 --> 01:24:49,226
bugged and taped
1032
01:24:49,300 --> 01:24:51,667
and secretly photographed
and memorialized
1033
01:24:51,740 --> 01:24:53,902
every move that those people made.
1034
01:24:54,740 --> 01:24:58,142
Them and their wives and
their mistresses and homosexual lovers.
1035
01:25:01,420 --> 01:25:03,263
- Who did the wiretaps?
- Bill Sullivan.
1036
01:25:03,460 --> 01:25:05,861
It became a rogue FBI operation.
1037
01:25:06,460 --> 01:25:09,464
Sullivan drove it. Sullivan and
the White House by themselves.
1038
01:25:11,500 --> 01:25:12,786
How 'bout you?
1039
01:25:14,740 --> 01:25:15,980
What do you know?
1040
01:25:16,060 --> 01:25:20,702
About everything else,
I knew every sordid little detail.
1041
01:25:20,780 --> 01:25:22,111
But not this.
1042
01:25:22,940 --> 01:25:24,620
They knew
they couldn't tell me about this.
1043
01:25:25,580 --> 01:25:26,945
Yeah, they couldn't count on you.
1044
01:25:28,500 --> 01:25:32,824
The White House is packing
all its crimes in separate little boxes.
1045
01:25:32,900 --> 01:25:36,222
Watergate, the spying,
the ugliness, the rot.
1046
01:25:36,700 --> 01:25:39,670
Each thing in a different box,
so that no one can put it together,
1047
01:25:39,740 --> 01:25:42,027
so that no one sees it's all connected.
1048
01:25:42,100 --> 01:25:45,900
And no one will care.
But it's all the same big thing.
1049
01:25:49,540 --> 01:25:52,589
And Watergate? Just the gateway.
1050
01:25:58,620 --> 01:26:01,271
Can you get the story out
before Gray's confirmation hearing?
1051
01:26:02,700 --> 01:26:04,065
What you're doing
1052
01:26:05,580 --> 01:26:08,106
will bring down
the whole house of cards.
1053
01:26:10,780 --> 01:26:13,226
But then, you already knew that.
1054
01:26:17,100 --> 01:26:18,829
Gray is ready to fall now.
1055
01:26:19,340 --> 01:26:20,910
Watch where it leads.
1056
01:26:37,060 --> 01:26:38,903
Any last-minute advice?
1057
01:26:41,060 --> 01:26:42,585
We've gone over everything.
1058
01:26:43,780 --> 01:26:45,384
They'll go easy-
1059
01:26:46,100 --> 01:26:48,102
You're the president's man.
1060
01:26:50,740 --> 01:26:52,981
Mr. Gray. What about this?
1061
01:26:54,740 --> 01:26:56,788
I don't know what my position should be.
1062
01:26:58,380 --> 01:27:00,064
It was before your time.
1063
01:27:01,860 --> 01:27:03,305
Tell the truth.
1064
01:27:04,540 --> 01:27:06,190
No one can argue with the truth.
1065
01:27:08,780 --> 01:27:11,784
Mr. Gray, this Time magazine
article by Sandy Smith
1066
01:27:11,860 --> 01:27:15,751
contains information on alleged wiretaps
requested by the White House
1067
01:27:15,820 --> 01:27:17,584
installed by the FBI.
1068
01:27:17,660 --> 01:27:19,185
How do you respond to these charges?
1069
01:27:20,380 --> 01:27:22,144
It was before my time, Senator.
1070
01:27:25,060 --> 01:27:27,711
What about the assertion in this article
1071
01:27:27,940 --> 01:27:31,183
that a White House aide
slipped Donald Segretti,
1072
01:27:31,260 --> 01:27:34,104
a target of the bureau's
Watergate investigation,
1073
01:27:34,180 --> 01:27:36,103
copies of what the FBI had?
1074
01:27:36,700 --> 01:27:38,031
We didn't look into that.
1075
01:27:38,100 --> 01:27:40,421
- Why on Earth not?
- I'll have to look into that.
1076
01:27:40,540 --> 01:27:43,430
Did you know that the White
House had your confidential file?
1077
01:27:45,460 --> 01:27:47,064
I did. Yes, Senator.
1078
01:27:56,660 --> 01:27:58,549
Let me tell you
how that might have happened.
1079
01:27:58,620 --> 01:27:59,826
Please do.
1080
01:27:59,900 --> 01:28:02,426
White House counsel
John Dean told me
1081
01:28:02,500 --> 01:28:06,425
the White House wanted everything
the FBI had on Watergate
1082
01:28:06,500 --> 01:28:08,582
to help with its own investigation.
1083
01:28:09,540 --> 01:28:11,781
Mr. Dean took all those FBI files.
1084
01:28:11,900 --> 01:28:14,631
How many Bureau reports
are we talking about?
1085
01:28:14,860 --> 01:28:17,909
How many reports did you give Mr. Dean?
1086
01:28:18,860 --> 01:28:20,464
I believe it was 82.
1087
01:28:21,420 --> 01:28:25,709
As the acting director of the FBI,
why on Earth would you do that?
1088
01:28:25,860 --> 01:28:28,101
- Because I was told to.
- By who?
1089
01:28:28,180 --> 01:28:29,830
Who would have ordered that?
1090
01:28:37,020 --> 01:28:39,307
The president.
1091
01:28:41,820 --> 01:28:45,063
One of the most difficult
decisions of my presidency,
1092
01:28:45,140 --> 01:28:46,710
I accepted the resignations
1093
01:28:46,780 --> 01:28:50,102
of two of my closest associates
in the White House,
1094
01:28:50,180 --> 01:28:52,831
Bob Haldeman and John Ehrlichman.
1095
01:28:52,900 --> 01:28:57,701
The counsel to the president,
John Dean, has also resigned.
1096
01:28:58,140 --> 01:29:00,381
The nation tonight
is in the midst of what may be
1097
01:29:00,460 --> 01:29:04,101
the most critical constitutional crisis
in its history.
1098
01:29:04,180 --> 01:29:08,583
As a result of the president's action,
the Attorney General has resigned.
1099
01:29:09,820 --> 01:29:13,142
L. Patrick Gray,
head of the FBI for nearly a year,
1100
01:29:13,260 --> 01:29:17,185
will now never take the chair
occupied by J. Edgar Hoover.
1101
01:29:17,260 --> 01:29:19,228
John Dean told me,
during a conversation,
1102
01:29:19,300 --> 01:29:21,428
that the White House
masterminded a cover-up.
1103
01:29:21,500 --> 01:29:23,020
I began by telling the president
1104
01:29:23,060 --> 01:29:25,347
that there was a cancer growing
on the presidency,
1105
01:29:25,420 --> 01:29:28,469
that it was important this cancer
be removed immediately
1106
01:29:28,540 --> 01:29:31,020
because it was growing
more deadly every day.
1107
01:29:40,700 --> 01:29:42,031
I found Joan.
1108
01:29:43,220 --> 01:29:44,745
Let's go get her.
1109
01:30:01,060 --> 01:30:03,711
Oh, my God. It's my parents.
1110
01:30:13,820 --> 01:30:15,788
It's all right. I know.
1111
01:30:24,380 --> 01:30:25,745
Mark?
1112
01:30:36,340 --> 01:30:37,751
Dad.
1113
01:30:53,780 --> 01:30:55,145
This is your grandson.
1114
01:30:58,380 --> 01:31:00,269
Come here, sweetheart.
1115
01:31:00,900 --> 01:31:01,901
There we go.
1116
01:31:15,860 --> 01:31:17,624
I had this feeling when I was little,
1117
01:31:21,580 --> 01:31:23,184
that I couldn't see into his eyes,
1118
01:31:28,740 --> 01:31:30,185
that he didn't approve of me.
1119
01:31:33,900 --> 01:31:38,269
That he was holding me up
to some impossible standard.
1120
01:31:42,780 --> 01:31:44,020
That was me.
1121
01:31:49,180 --> 01:31:50,864
When you were sick and you were little,
1122
01:31:50,940 --> 01:31:53,068
it was your father
who climbed into bed with you
1123
01:31:54,020 --> 01:31:55,545
in his shoes,
1124
01:31:56,740 --> 01:31:58,230
his holster, his suit.
1125
01:32:01,060 --> 01:32:05,145
He'd sit with you for hours
and rock you till you fell back asleep.
1126
01:32:58,260 --> 01:33:01,981
Oh!
Look at that big baby.
1127
01:33:12,860 --> 01:33:13,907
Thank you.
1128
01:33:16,980 --> 01:33:19,426
- Mr. Director? We're ready.
- Mr. Felt.
1129
01:33:26,100 --> 01:33:27,784
- Mark.
- Mr. Ruckelshaus.
1130
01:33:31,820 --> 01:33:33,106
Thank you.
1131
01:33:34,260 --> 01:33:37,343
Mr. Felt, thank you
for 31 years of service
1132
01:33:37,420 --> 01:33:39,229
to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
1133
01:33:39,820 --> 01:33:41,470
- Thank you.
- Hear, hear!
1134
01:33:51,460 --> 01:33:52,700
Congratulations.
1135
01:34:26,580 --> 01:34:28,582
- Hey, congratulations.
- Good luck, Mark.
1136
01:34:28,700 --> 01:34:29,906
Well done, Mark.
1137
01:34:33,180 --> 01:34:34,306
Congratulations, sir.
1138
01:34:34,380 --> 01:34:36,701
I have never been a quitter.
1139
01:34:37,300 --> 01:34:39,906
To leave office
before my term is completed
1140
01:34:39,980 --> 01:34:42,711
is abhorrent to
every instinct in my body.
1141
01:34:44,900 --> 01:34:46,345
But as president,
1142
01:34:46,700 --> 01:34:49,829
I must put
the interests of America first.
1143
01:34:56,700 --> 01:34:57,747
Therefore,
1144
01:34:58,900 --> 01:35:02,507
I shall resign the presidency
effective at noon tomorrow.
1145
01:35:03,460 --> 01:35:07,545
Vice President Ford,
will be sworn in as president
1146
01:35:07,860 --> 01:35:10,545
at that hour, in this office.
1147
01:35:20,500 --> 01:35:22,628
Counterespionage expert.
1148
01:35:22,700 --> 01:35:23,861
Nazi hunter.
1149
01:35:25,620 --> 01:35:28,066
You, Mr. Felt, are the G-man's G-man,
1150
01:35:29,020 --> 01:35:30,226
a hero and a patriot,
1151
01:35:31,340 --> 01:35:33,183
and we are a grateful nation.
1152
01:35:34,420 --> 01:35:37,469
Ladies and gentlemen,
for the past few weeks
1153
01:35:37,580 --> 01:35:40,470
you've heard through testimony
the sounds of the bombs
1154
01:35:40,540 --> 01:35:43,942
of the PLO and the Weather Underground
ringing in your ears.
1155
01:35:44,020 --> 01:35:45,670
People died.
1156
01:35:45,740 --> 01:35:48,391
We were a nation at war
at home and abroad.
1157
01:35:49,220 --> 01:35:50,585
We don't dispute that.
1158
01:35:51,540 --> 01:35:54,350
Now, we ask you to listen
for the sound of the Constitution.
1159
01:35:56,780 --> 01:35:57,827
You hear that?
1160
01:35:59,300 --> 01:36:01,460
It doesn't make quite as much noise
as a bomb, does it?
1161
01:36:03,020 --> 01:36:05,910
It just sits there, silent,
like our conscience,
1162
01:36:05,980 --> 01:36:09,701
just as it's done
for the last 200 years.
1163
01:36:10,420 --> 01:36:11,660
Mr. Felt.
1164
01:36:13,260 --> 01:36:15,069
On September 8th, 1972,
1165
01:36:15,180 --> 01:36:19,185
did you order 143 FBI agents
across the country
1166
01:36:19,260 --> 01:36:20,785
to break into the homes of relatives
1167
01:36:20,860 --> 01:36:22,828
of alleged members
of the Weather Underground,
1168
01:36:22,900 --> 01:36:24,823
to wiretap their phones
and bug their homes?
1169
01:36:24,940 --> 01:36:26,590
- Yes.
- Who else?
1170
01:36:26,900 --> 01:36:27,947
Who else what?
1171
01:36:28,020 --> 01:36:30,068
Who else participated
in giving those orders?
1172
01:36:33,420 --> 01:36:36,230
- Assistant Director Edward Miller?
- I gave the order.
1173
01:36:36,300 --> 01:36:38,906
Acting Director
L. Patrick Gray the third?
1174
01:36:38,980 --> 01:36:40,584
I gave the order.
1175
01:36:41,060 --> 01:36:42,061
Charles Bates?
1176
01:36:47,540 --> 01:36:49,224
You're really gonna
sit there and do that?
1177
01:36:50,900 --> 01:36:53,631
You're really gonna take that on
for everybody?
1178
01:36:54,740 --> 01:36:56,071
I gave the order.
1179
01:36:56,940 --> 01:36:59,546
Mr. Felt, you stated that you
1180
01:36:59,620 --> 01:37:02,021
frequently briefed
the Nixon White House on the case.
1181
01:37:02,100 --> 01:37:06,310
Maybe you could just give us
a quick snapshot on how that all worked.
1182
01:37:07,460 --> 01:37:11,863
I was in constant contact
with the White House on many matters.
1183
01:37:14,540 --> 01:37:17,225
In fact, I was in the
Oval Office so often,
1184
01:37:18,220 --> 01:37:21,269
people used to say
I had to be Deep Throat.
1185
01:37:28,100 --> 01:37:29,784
What did you just say?
1186
01:37:30,100 --> 01:37:34,469
I said I was with the White House,
Dean and so forth, so often,
1187
01:37:34,540 --> 01:37:38,750
people thought I was The Washington
Post's source for Watergate.
1188
01:37:39,060 --> 01:37:41,108
The person they called, "Deep Throat."
1189
01:37:49,740 --> 01:37:51,424
Before the witness is excused,
1190
01:37:53,260 --> 01:37:54,910
are there any questions from the jury?
1191
01:37:58,500 --> 01:38:00,389
Well, were you?
1192
01:38:01,540 --> 01:38:05,226
- Was I what?
- Were you Deep Throat?
