All language subtitles for the Runner 2015 1080 BluRay x265-RARBG

A day and a half
after deep water horizon exploded,

the flames, fed by crude
from the bottom of the sea,

were simply too big to contain.

For the families
of the 11 missing crew members,

hope of their rescue is fading.

The search for survivors
will end before dawn tomorrow.

The forced
feeding of mud and cement

into the well failed to work.

The well continues to spew oil
with the force of seven fire hoses.

Today, that slick is 12 miles long,
covering 100 square miles.

Winds are coming
from the south and they're strong,

about 30 miles an hour,
pushing that oil towards the coast.

Congressman, all of our sites
are outlined here.

We've got our east
operations all the way up here.

Over here, our west operations.

Up here we're working with local Indian
tribes to protect their burial grounds.

How you doing on boom supply?

Hard boom we clean and reuse,
so we're good there.

Soft boom needs to be replaced
when it's oil soaked, so...

Demand is never ending.

It's something new.

It's something we had to figure out
on our own because we're shrimpers.

We didn't know nothing about
cleaning up oil until last week.

Floyd told me you got six boats.

BP contract them all?
Two of them.

The other four shut down
because we ain't allowed to shrimp.

How much are they paying you?

1350 a day a boat.

And out of that I got to pay for
fuel, crew, all the other expenses.

Normahyyoup bernahng
whaf? 35? Yeah.

Going to have to start
laying off workers soon.

First Katrina took it away
and now BP.

What you going to do?

The chair recognizes the
gentleman from Louisiana, Mr. Pryce.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Today we saw reports
that BP's spill in the Gulf

has grown to nearly
20 million gallons,

which is roughly twice
the size of exxon valdez.

This is the most devastating man-made
environmental disaster in u. 8. History.

It's also an economic
and cultural disaster.

People of the Gulf coast
will be living with this reality

long after the TV cameras
have gone home

and the nation's attention
has turned elsewhere.

Long after the politicians
have finished making their statements,

these people
will continue to suffer.

Today I'm not
a federal official.

Today I'm a resident
of the Louisiana Gulf coast.

These fishermen,
these restaurant owners,

these folks who run the bait shops
and the corner stores,

they're people I grew up with.
They're people my parents grew up with.

People I look in the eye
every single day.

They've never asked
for a handout in their lives.

They've bled for this country, their sons
and daughters have bled for this country,

and right now
they need our help.

They need firm commitments
from BP and the government

that'll not just
help them rebuild,

but that'll assure them
we stand by their side.

That we have their backs
just like they've had ours.

Everything I know,
everything I love is at risk.

And even though these marshes
lie along coastal Louisiana...

These are america's wetlands.

And even though this is
British petroleum's spill...

It is america's ocean.

Excuse me, I'd just like to submit
the rest of my statement for the record.

Thank you.

Been calling the house.

I needed time to clear my head.

That was quite
a show you put on.

It wasn't a show.
I dropped the lines

about the necessity
for a central czar.

Most important part of the
speech. You were honest.

And that's the way it
came off. No, I was weak.

You haven't heard.

Who else picked it up? Everyone.

Today it appears
the sun is shining

on a Louisiana congressman
nobody knows.

You want to milk this.

I want to milk
the shit out of it

and ride it straight
into the senate seat.

This is what
we've been waiting for.

You're not capitalizing
on the spill.

This...

This is you.

All right. All right.

We're going to use this, frank,

to ensure BP and transocean

take responsibility
for what they've done.

Shine alight
in their goddamn faces.

You're on the 9:15
out of Reagan.

And Colin...

If we're going to do this,
we need to be buttoned up.

I want the coast guard
and the epa closed to press.

But frank explicitly said... I don't
care what frank said. This is priority.

Let's keep this tasteful. Would
you consider 20/20 tasteful?

They're going to open
with you on June 15th.

It seems like this speech
is going to have some legs.

Congressman, care to
comment on yesterday's speech?

Jen, how you doing this
morning? Hanging in there, sir.

Unfortunately, the congressman
requested this be a closed-door meeting.

Sorry, folks.
Are you running for senate?

Since you were last here, we've
made a significant number of changes.

Just trying to be more
aggressive containing the oil.

How often are you receiving
shipments of soft boom?

Not often enough.

I'll see what I can find
out and circle back.

If you need anything else, you call
me. You've got my personal number.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Enlighten me,
Mr. Morris, who do I need to call

to get trucks bringing in
soft boom every day?

Admiral Allen?
Goddamned president?

No, no, no. Believe me, I understand,
and I'm not trying to be rude.

I'm just sick
of all this posturing.

You don't think I've been
through this before?

Katrina, Rita, Gustav, ike.

Thank you. That's all
I wanted to hear.

Louisiana needs the oil industry

and the oil industry
needs Louisiana.

That was true 100 years ago
and it will be true in another 100 years.

The spill was a tragedy,

but it is in everyone's best interest
to keep American oil healthy.

My husband isn't
doubting how reliant

our local economy
is on industry.

My fund runs a diversified
energy portfolio

with an emphasis
on Gulf producers.

I know you've leaned left
on energy in the past,

but I'm looking to back a horse
that will support our interests.

You can find a lot
of politicians around here

in the party whose interests
align with yours.

Why me? You're a winner.

People are talking about you,
congressman. Even in my world.

Well, then, you should know
I don't pander to campaign financing.

Well, you won't win the senate seat
unless you reconsider.

I'm sorry, I was under the
impression this was a lobby meeting.

We haven't decided
if we're going to run for senate.

Colin, just hear him out.

We are in the middle
of a recession.

This election is going
to be about the economy.

And a moratorium will be
more devastating than the spill itself.

Mark, I don't think
you quite understand,

I'm not just advocating
for a temporary moratorium.

I think we ought
to phase out drilling altogether.

Colin. Oil is an addiction.

And right now it's going to be pretty
damn tricky to deny how harmful it is,

how antiquated it is.

We need to develop
a sustainable infrastructure.

Mark, you're a man
with foresight.

You know green is how
we ought to be creating jobs.

Am I hearing
what I think I'm hearing?

I'm sorry.

We've wasted your time.

You're not going to win.

We'll see.

It's not smart.

You told him we're planning to run
before we've announced.

You humiliated me.

Do you have any idea how much
business my firm does with that man?

I didn't ask you to do that.

I won't be beholden
to Mark lavin or anyone else.

Thatspeech was a godsend.

Don't blow it.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

See you at home.

Frank told me you've been
calling the office.

Why would you do that?

What were you thinking, Lucy?

I'm sorry.

Terrence knows about us.

He came home drunk last night talking
all sorts of shit, and I don't know.

But don't worry,
he ain't going to say nothing.

I think you've had enough.

Don't you think you've
fucking had enough?

I do.

Okay, I'm sorry, Lucy, okay?

I'm sorry.

I miss you, Colin.

Please.

Just sit with me.
Just for a minute. Please.

Tell it like it is, pryce!

You've got my vote.
All right, brother.

Fl sun come up fl

fl it was blue and gold fl

fl sun come up fl

fl it was blue and gold fl

fl sun come up fl

fl it was blue and gold... fl

you need to get ready.

Car is picking us up
in 15 minutes.

The parish school board fundraiser.

Sit with me for a minute.

Just one minute,
and I promise I'll cooperate.

Since when did we start
stocking the house with alcohol?

You've been sober for 16 years.

I think we're safe.

Besides, we can't all
get high on diet coke.

You remember
our first legislature run?

Planting posters at 2:00 am.
On the median of highway 90?

Two kids,
fresh out of law school.

Colin...

I want you to see
someone with me.

I know you don't want to,
but we don't have a choice.

Did you have a choice

when you slept with that
27-year-old cheerleader coach?

Frank told you.

Who fucking cares who told me?

I'm sorry.

I was trying, Deb.
Believe me, I really was.

Do you expect me
to congratulate you

because you tried to keep
your dick in your pants?

What is it you want to hear?

That I'm fine you keep risking
everything we've worked for?

Not everything
is about our career.

I wish that were true.

One, two, three,
four, five, flx, seven, e@ht

all right, good job, girls.
Good job.

I uc y hall?

Kara, take over for a couple
minutes, okay? Okay. No problem.

I'm a reporter
for the lafitte gazette.

As uncomfortable as this is,

I got to ask about your relationship
with congressman pryce.

There must be some mistake.

Honestly, I have no idea
who you're talking about.

You've been elected twice in a district
that is 60 percent African-American

and one that has historically elected
black officials since the seventies.

What do you think
that says about you?

Well, I think it says
a lot about the city.

I took office in 2006
straight after Katrina.

People were rightfully
craving change.

Folks don't care what color your skin is
anymore, what your economic standing is.

What people want, what they need
is a leader to produce.

I spent eight years in the state
legislature, I did a term in city council.

My wife is a well-respected attorney
around here.

So I think
it's a matter of trust.

You grew up in a
political family. Yes, sir.

Your father, Rayne pryce,
was mayor during the seventies.

He created
numerous opportunities

for the city's black population.

I'd imagine folk down here
still love your daddy, don't they?

Yes, they do. Very much.

Needless to say,
the civil rights movement

wasn't popular
in the south back then.

What he did, it took guts.

Talk to me about
his post-mayoral career.

It's no secret that Rayne lost
three consecutive senate elections

and was involved
in a number of incidents.

What happened to him?

My father
is an alcoholic, Byron.

No one is
available to take your call.

Please leave a mess...

Come on, Colin. Come on.

Let's focus on the
fact that for the first time

since the storm, people
are moving back into the city.

Which makes the spill
that much more devastating.

Right. And that's precisely
why we need to remain vigilant,

why we need to hold
all parties accountable.

Now, BP has vowed to pay
all legitimate claims,

but folks don't have a lot of room
to wait around for checks to come

or I should say
not to come in the mail.

And I want people to know
I'm going to be there for them.

Get rid of that suit.

Whoa, don't touch that oil
with your bare hands.

Use some gloves, man.

All right, we're taking off
in 15 minutes, fellas.

Terrence?

Terrence hall?

What's next for you? Any
plans to run, say, for the senate?

Well, that's a ways off. Right now
we need to focus on the oil spill.

Right now I have
a job representing

the second district
of Louisiana in congress.

I think we have enough here.

It's been a real pleasure.
Thank you, Colin.

Thank you for having
me, Byron. Yes, sir.

Thanks for coming
on such short notice.

He's in the kitchen.

How long before
a major picks this up?

I'd give it until the morning.

People are going to think he knew
that slut was the fisherman's wife.

She's right. They're going to
think he knew the fisherman.

Terrence. What?

The fisherman.
His name is Terrence hall.

An nbc affiliate has footage
of me speaking at his oyster company.

That's how I met the girl.

We'll start polling damage
first thing in the morning.

Well, I'm going to have to come
clean, so set a press conference.

I think we should
hold off on that.

I think we need to see how
this is going to play out.

Why? You think it's
going to blow over?

No, I don't think
it's going to blow over,

but I think it's possible
that we can weather this.

Frank, it's not like
my husband committed a crime.

With all due respect, have you
forgotten what's going on out there?

How do you think
it's going to look

when people find out
that congressman pryce,

the superhero
of the BP oil spill

is fucking the wife
of a local fisherman,

the black wife
of a black local fisherman?

How do you think
that's going to look?

You're being dramatic. Oh, am I?

This is going to snowball.

Colin is not going to have
one solitary friend in Washington.

Not with every person in america
having watched him cry

on national television
five days ago.

Maybe you're right.

But we need to stay cool.

Think about Owens
and the prostitution scandal.

That was less than a year ago.
This is Louisiana.

Owens was re-elected.
We're not going to be in November.

Colin is a white congressman
in a black district.

He can barely win here
with nothing hanging over him.

That's why the senate made sense,
where there are at least white voters.

Still does.

What's on for tomorrow?

The claims fair. That's
right. The claims fair.

The release go out yet?
No, not yet.

Well, let's see that it does.

That's what you should
be focusing on.

Not this bullshit.

Come on, let's get some sleep.

Yeah?

Hi, congressman pryce?
Hi, it's Jen Wyman.

Who?

It's Jen.

Lieutenant Wyman
from the coast guard?

Oh, Jen, of course.

What's on your mind?
We got a real problem here.

We haven't received a shipment of soft boom
in over a week, and we're running real low.

Projections show the oil moving
west and we don't have enough

to protect the western coastline
of Mississippi.

I'm sorry to call
on your personal line, sir,

but you did say to reach out
if there's an emergency.

You haven't heard
what's been going on?

What's wrong, sir?

I'm going to put you in touch
with my friend, Dave Erikson,

president of plaquemines parish.
He'll be able to help you.

Bernadette, you're on in three...

Over the
weekend, calls for a resignation

have intensified with statements

from the house minority leader
and national committee chair.

Both said a temporary
leave of absence is not enough.

This has
become a sensational story,

a symbol to many of everything
that's wrong in Washington.

Louisiana simply can't
afford to face this disaster

with a scandal that could distract
from the real problems at hand.

Price couldn't even attend
his own claims fair.

Thank you, Jimmy.
All right, sir.

Long time, pryce.

Oh, how's the wife, Stan?

Busting my balls as usual.
That's what they do.

Mm-hmm. Got anything for me? How's
your son doing? Is he going to resign?

Did he know she was
the fisherman's wife?

Just remember this, folks,

Louisiana has always been
one big family.

And we don't abandon our family
when they make a mistake.

I wouldn't be standing here
today if that truth failed to exist.

Thank you. Mr. Pryce!

Now, moulay ismail,
that Moroccan ruler,

fathered 900 children
with his concubines.

900 children.

Genghis Khan, well,
he made old ismail look barren.

One out of every 200 men
on this planet has a direct line

stretching back
to that son of a bitch.

Yeah. Is thatright?

What's your point, dad?
Point is, a lot of powerful men,

jfk, fdr, Clinton,
behave the same way.

Now, I was never much
of a philanderer when I was in office,

but I get where
you're coming from.

No offense, miss Deborah.

All right, that's enough.

What am I doing here?

I haven't heard from you
for over a year,

now you want me
to be a part of this fiasco?

I didn't invite you.

Rayne, seeing as how you're uniquely
qualified on the subject of scandals,

why don't you give
your son some advice?

Want my advice?

Fuck them.

Fuck the party.
Fuck the administration.

Hell, fuck the people.

This spill will be over soon,
and they'll forgive you.

You just got to fight
through it like a man.

Something funny about
what I said? Like a man?

We're in the middle
of a disaster here.

People are suffering
and I can't even leave my house.

I've already left
these people out to dry.

This ain't about
you doing your job...

Of course not.
It was never about that for you.

I was the best mayor this city ever
had. And then you lost again and again.

Why are you here?
Why is he here?

Colin, I understand you're
under an enormous amount of pressure,

but you need to think
about yourself,

and you need to think about us.

Colin, look at me.

Look at me!

You're not going to resign.

I've decided to resign.

I think you're
doing the right thing.

I need you to help me
get through this.

Why? It's over.

I'm not retiring.

We'll miss the senate
run, I know that, but...

After the spill's over.

Look, I can't name anyone
who has come back

after a resignation
and been elected again.

You need to think about doing
something else with your life.

You remember why I hired you?

Because my father
worked for your father

and you thought
he was a miracle worker?

No, that's why I sought
you out. Why'd I hire you?

What'd I tell you when
we met? Colin, please.

What'd I say?

That I don't have
my head up my ass

like those other beltway pricks.

I trust you, Kate.

You want some free advice?

Stay out of the press.

Stay out of the press
for a long time.

Give people time to forgive you.

How long are we talking?

I don't know.
You are in unchartered waters.

Congressman, the public would
like to hear your side of the story!

Congressman pryce,
when will you step down?

I don't know what hurts more...

The fact that
you're stepping down

or that I wasn't
the first person you told.

This isn't about the spill.

Or the people or you not
being able to do your job.

You're just scared.

You're just scared everyone
will stop loving you.

Your whores, your father,
your constituents.

Stop. It's all the same.

Would you just stop?

I don't care
about this city anymore.

If you resign...

I'm going to leave you.

Good afternoon.

Let's get some reaction
now to what we've been hearing

from senator Tom Owens
of Louisiana,

whose state, of course,
has been the hardest hit.

What's your immediate
reaction, senator?

Hallelujah. Let's hope that the
spill has indeed been contained.

Let's hope this cap holds
and they can finally

kill that well and stop the
flow of oil. 87 days.

That's, of course, how long
this has all been unfolding.

Give us a little bit
of a sense of what

the Gulf coast residents
are feeling right now.

Well,
there is a sense of relief, sure.

But what you have to understand
is right now folks are concerned

with where their next
paycheck is coming from,

how they're going
to pay their mortgage,

how they're going
to put food on the table.

For us right now this is only the
beginning of a long rebuilding process.

And we're all just
a little numb right now.

But yes, this is
certainly good news, wolf.

Colin, it's me.
Pick up if you're there.

I'm reminding you
about your 9:00 am.

With granda/f's
fisherman's co-op.

I'm hoping you're already on your
way. Please don't be late again.

Anyway, I'll see you
at the foundation.

We try shrimping,

but since the spill,
there ain't nothing out there.

And I could have a boat
on the water for three hours,

it comes back with barely enough
to make a gumbo with.

People think it don't hurt
because they capped the well

and they cleaning up
and all that,

but I ain't never seen
the water this dead before.

I sympathize, Mr. Provich, I do.

But Louisiana national simply
isn't in a position to help.

Seems to me this is a matter you should
take up with the claims fund BP set up.

Claims process is fucked.

Excuse my English.

Ain't none of us
got a penny from BP

since the emergency funding
back in may.

I'm sorry to hear that, but
we have a policy... a policy?

I've had to lay off
half my workers.

We've been clients
of national for 15 years.

We just looking
for a little help.

Please, let's all
calm down. Sorry I'm late.

I'd like a word
with Mr. Musgrave

if it's all right with y'all.

Now, bill,
over the past few months,

my organization has been providing
legal counsel to the cooperative.

Forgive me, Mr. Pryce,
I'm not familiar with your organization.

It's a New Orleans
based nonprofit, pro bono

for small business owners
affected by the spill.

I'm their attorney.

Now, this is our proposal
to uniformly restructure

the co-op's boat
and real estate mortgages.

This is BP's obligation,
not ours.

You know damn well these men aren't getting
any payments from the gccf anytime soon.

They're already in default,
and if you don't come through,

they won't make it
through another season.

If you foreclose,
the liquidation value

will be less than keeping these fishermen
in business while the industry recovers.

This is very much
in your interest as well.

It's too low.

Well, what are our options?

File for chapter 11.

It's not ideal,
but it'll allow us

to have your assets
revalued in bankruptcy court,

which would force national
to cooperate.

We don't want to go down
that road. It'll taint our names.

I understand, hal. But at this
point it's all about surviving.

You can handle this?

I have a number of clients in the
same position as your co-op, hal.

Hotels, restaurants,
even a used car salesman in lafitte.

It's going to take money
and it's going to take manpower.

Yeah, money you ain't got.

I'm working on it.

Thank you, Colin.

Mr. Pryce,
I'm from the daily kingfish.

I already told you guys,
I'm not doing interviews.

The story's on the gccf. The
focus will be on your foundation.

Do you think it'll be enough
to get you re-elected someday, Mr. Pryce?

Don't be a jackass.

Sorry, we're running
a little behind today.

We'll be with you
as soon as we can.

Morning.

We're backed up out there.
How about a little help?

This is the proposal
for billick canner to outsource.

How high?

Did you explain to billick
that this is for fucking charity?

And I politely reminded him
that you were his mentor at tulane.

Even if we get billick
down to 100 an hour,

we still need 200 here to take the
fishery co-op through bankruptcy.

And that doesn't include the
restaurant groups or anyone else.

I'll wire more money.
You don't have more money.

I have enough to bring on a few
more employees to help with the raise.

The raise?
Maybe that would make sense

if we had even a modicum of
success with our current setup.

It's just difficult because
of your... my what?

My reputation?

You're not thinking clearly.

It's a great cause.

It's just not working.

BP's compensation fund
has made a final settlement payment

to one out of 91,000 people
waiting for checks,

and that was a $10 million
payout to a BP business partner.

The talk line is 555-261-1677.

Of course, today, our guest is
Louisiana Attorney General Chris wilcox.

There have been rumors that you
would support a permanent ban on drilling.

Those aren't just rumors.

Some would call that
a radical position.

It's radical to those who haven't
researched alternative energy.

No one's saying it's going to
be easy, but Mark my words,

the green energy revolution is going
to dwarf the technology revolution.

We need to be forward
thinking. Let's go.

And quite frankly,
we don't have any time to waste.

But I heard wilcox is going to run
for senate. He hasn't decided that.

That's funny, because I heard
you're going to run his campaign.

It's a small town.

Mm-hmm.

So, what do you have in mind?
Consultant. We'd keep it dark.

And what do you get out of being a shadow
consultant for wilcox's senate campaign?

I do good work for Chris,

maybe he gives me
a position down the line.

Can I get you two something else?
Yes, ma'am. I'll have another diet coke.

I'm good.

Sure you don't want a beer?

Or a bourbon?

It's a small town.

I'm fine.

Trust me, I'm fine.

It's too risky.

If word gets out,
the campaign could be damaged.

We've known each other
since high school.

I'm asking you for a favor.

Nine months.
It's just been nine months.

Kate!

Kate, god damn it,
I completely forgot.

It's fine.

I have a 6:00 P.M., so
we don't have a lot of time.

How long are you in town for?

I'm leaving in the morning.

Do you have dinner plans?
Let me take you to cochon.

No. I mean, yes.
I can't tonight.

Mostly bloggers andlocal

it's what you'd expect.

Speculation about
a return to politics,

questions about the motives
behind your organization.

And people calling me
a narcissistic asshole.

I warned you the press
was going to spin it this way.

You didn't wait long enough
for the dust to settle.

At least you haven't
commented publicly.

I just don't understand how my
work can be construed as a negative.

I mean, this isn't
some resume builder, Kate.

Then why do you
have a publicist?

No good deed goes unscrutinzed?

Not when you're a politician.

How are you, Kate?

I'm great.

Everything is great.

Do you really want
to know how I am?

Vveh_. Yeah.

Let's see, my husband and I
recently separated.

I'm thinking of leaving my job.

My kids are a pain in the ass.

Other than that, I'm great.

Oh, come on, blow off your
6:00 pm. And get a drink with me.

You don't want to be burdened by some
37-year-old woman's midlife crisis, believe me.

Let's get back to it, shall we?

You're only 37? Fuck off.

Is it terrible that
I'm drinking with you?

How loose is your definition
of terrible?

You're not going to end up...

Passed out naked
in some doorway?

No, it was never like that.

No, I was a functioning alcoholic
until I wasn't.

You know, sometimes I look back
on my life, what was driving my life,

Jesus, I don't know,

with all the campaigning
and the meetings

and the speeches...

I just miss it, you know?

This will get easier.

We said we wouldn't do this.

You're a real special one,
you know that?

Hey, Maria. Is Mrs. Pryce home?

I'm sorry, Mr. Pryce.
She's still at the office.

She asked me to come by and drop
off these papers from the lawyers.

It's good to see you,
mr.Pryce. You, too.

Colin.

Colin.

Hello, James.

How you doing?

I spoke to your doctor.

You're going
to need to have surgery.

What for?

70 percent of my liver
has stopped dead.

I'm making arrangements
to take care of the bills.

I don't want your damn money.

You're in the red from
financing your last campaign.

You don't have any money, dad.

Well, don't shit your pants.

You ain't going to be saddled
with my debt or my fiascos.

I wouldn't do that to your wife.

Yeah.

How's that pro bono work going?

Could be worse.

Not what I heard.

My advice is stop
spending your own money.

Keep it simple.

You don't have to be the hero.

You just have
to make it look good.

What the hell
is that supposed to mean?

You know, it's funny.

I walk around this city, people
come up to me to shake my hand,

want to thank me for doing the
things I did for them while I was mayor.

They don't remember
anything after that.

The speeches I gave
under the influence.

That fucking spitting incident.

None of it.

Yes, sir. Louisiana
is a mighty funny place.

You'll be back
on that horse soon enough.

Is that what you think this is?

Some sort of publicity stunt?

Well, ain't it?

You mind getting me some more?

You shouldn't be drinking
or smoking for that matter.

You sound just like your mother.

May she rest in peace.

What?

You may hate my guts,

but you turned out all right.

After all, the apple
didn't fall too far.

You really think you're better
than me, don't you?

No, I don't.

But I'm nothing like you.

Hey there. You're up early.

I had a dream about you.

Really?

We were in high school together.

But we looked the same.
Middle-aged high-schoolers.

I was asking you to the prom or
something, I don't remember exactly.

You were nervous and blushing,

and I gave you
one hell of a kiss.

Did we go to prom together?

I don't know.
You sped off crying.

That sounds about right.

Listen, what would you think about
coming down here for a few days to visit?

Come on. Shoes off, please.

I want my damned pancakes.

Watch your mouth.
Yeah, shut up, Robbie.

How about this weekend?

This weekend?

This weekend's good.

Okay, I got to run.
I will call you later.

Okay.

Colin!

Colin!

At 7:00 am. I get a call
from Gail Dixon with the gccf.

She's in feinberg's office.

She tells me BP admires the
work the foundation is doing

and has decided to give us
a $3.5 million Grant.

Three million
for existing clients' claims,

and the remainder
for their bankruptcy needs.

This right here is too good to
be true. That's what I thought.

So I get to the office,

I log into the donation account,

and the money is there. The
numbers match up. But why us?

There's got to be ten other
organizations just like ours.

Pubhchy? Exactly.
So if you're BP,

why associate yourself
with a disgraced politician?

Muddles the story.

But this barely
touches on the scandal.

Do you want
to send back the money?

Hell, no.

I poked around
with a BP publicist.

She didn't know
who authorized the Grant,

but she thought it would ignite a
wave of funding, which makes sense.

I mean, the gccf's been hit
with a ton of criticism.

Yeah, okay.
Then why start with me?

Who knows? Who
cares? Just be thankful.

This is a blessing for your
foundation and your image.

And I know the press
have taken their shots,

but you are coming off
of this a winner.

All right, enough about work.

So, what's the plan?

Are you hungry?

Client of mine's having
a barbecue in grand isle.

The fishing village?
Yeah, the fishing village.

Who do you think my clients are?

Only kind of seafood
won't kill you these days.

You got your potatos,
you got your corns,

little bit of crab oil,
some garlic,

then you got your cajun spices,

and god help you if you
get this in your eyeball.

And once you get it
smoking real good,

then you know
you got yourself a boil.

You married quite the chef, huh?

No, there ain't a man in
Louisiana don't know how to cook.

Oh, she got a mouth
on her. What? It's true.

Y'all want a beer?

You have a soda or something?

What, you don't drink?
Trying not to.

Oh. Me, too.

Can I tell you something?

Sure.

I think you got a bum deal.
Lay...

I mean, you got that
son of a bitch senator Owens

sleeping with hookers.
He keeps getting elected.

You, you cheated on your wife.
Big fucking deal.

I mean, people are broke,
sick with the dispersants,

you're the only one down here
doing a goddamn thing for us.

Can I help you
with those drinks?

Sure.

That lady of yours,
she's something else.

No, no. We just
work together, hal.

I heard you was
rattling cages over at BP.

Looks like we're in business.

I think more like
we ain't out of business yet.

You done good, congressman.

In beaking
news, yet another scandal

is sending shockwa ves
through our nation's capital.

This one involving two-term
republican senator Tom Owens

of Louisiana who was detained
by federal agents late last night.

On Saturday morning
FBI agents raided

senator Owens' Washington, d. C.
And metairie homes

as part of an ongoing
corruption probe.

Sources familiar
with the investigation said investigators

are looking into whether
Owens used his influence... yeah?

In various business dealings.

Who? No formal charges
have been filed against me.

We don't know the extent or the
precise nature of this investigation,

but / am cooperating
with the authorities fully and...

3:00 pm. Works. Uh-huh.

Who was that?

Mark will just be a minute.
Can I get you something to drink?

No, thanks, I'm fine.

Sorry, honey.

No, you cannot go
to the kanye concert alone.

Janie is not an adult.

160,000 cash.
That's what the feds

found in the attic
of Owens' Georgetown home.

Your stepfather can take you.

He's cool. He's hip.

Okay, pumpkin.
All right, love you.

My daughter is 14.

What else do you know
about Tom Owens?

I know that he took a bribe
from a Florida businessman.

Tom's going to resign? No.

Theinvesfigafion could take 18
months, and if Owens decides

to fight, which he will,
a conviction could take years.

What's the problem, then? Tom may not be in
the party, but he supports your interests.

It's not Owens
I'm worried about.

It's Chris wilcox.

He's going to beat him.

You know I can't win. Really?

Well, our polls
are telling us differently.

Seems the public would be
receptive to your running.

You just need the right spin
and a machine to spin it.

You authorized that Grant.

Being one of BP's most influential
shareholders has its perks.

So you had them donate
$3.5 million into my foundation

to test the waters
for a senate run?

What's it to them?

Who's going
to finance the campaign? BP?

.I am.

We need someone from Louisiana
fighting for our side.

And you think it makes
a hell of a story,

Colin pryce, working to bridge
the gap between BP

and all the hardworking folks
of Louisiana.

This goes way beyond BP.

This is about
the entire industry.

This is about
protecting investments.

The next few years,
every major oil and gas company

will be spending
more and more token money

on alternative energy
and safe drilling.

Billions of ad dollars will be
spent to cleanse their images.

And we'll make sure that
you're in the center of it all.

But you're not just asking me
to change my energy position.

You're asking me to turn my
back on the claims process.

Look at it this way,

if it's not you,
we'll find someone else.

Chris wilcox
is not going to win.

You can bet on that.

What makes you think
I'd do this?

You're standing here.

You want to know
how I rationalize it?

I ask myself,
would I rather that claims money

be in the hands of a bunch
of podunk fishermen

or invested back
into the economy

by a corporation who's been creating
jobs down here since before I was born.

As for a moratorium,

that is just not
economically sound for anyone.

Thank you for your time.

You know what I always found
most interesting about politicians

is that they're so blinded
by delusions of grandeur

that they forget
who they really are.

In your case, the only thing anyone
is going to remember about you

is that you fucked
a fisherman's wife.

Most people
won't even remember that.

You're going to need
someone like me, Colin.

I know.

I know what you're thinking.

It's really not my place.

I'm not going
to work with him, Kate.

Then why take the meeting?

Because I at least needed to...

Hear him out? Why?

Even if I never resigned, I still
wouldn't have won that senate seat.

They were always maneuvering me.

I was in denial.

That's not true.

You stand for something.

Will you stay
for a couple more days?

I wish I could.

But unfortunately
I have work and...

Children. So...

Well, what would you think about
me coming up there to visit you soon?

I could spend time
with your kids.

I'm not divorced yet, Colin.

And neither are you.

You know damn well
it's right with us.

What about your career?

Do you have any idea
what this would look like?

We've already been
incredibly reckless.

This feels real to me.

And if it means
I can't run for office again,

so be it.

I thought I was taking you
to the airport.

I called a cab.

I figured I'd let you sleep.

Folks, the Grant was given to us
for claims we already submitted.

Are any of you existing clients?

Meaning people
we worked with in the past?

All right, who's next?

We had to treat
your father's alcohol withdrawal

to maximize the safety
of his surgery.

Detox.

Detox was kind of rocky for him.

Both emotionally and physically.

We're going to take him
into the or about 40 minutes.

The surgery should take
five to seven hours.

Take your time
with him until then.

Yeah. Thank you.

Heard you were in the middle
of a class action.

I didn't think you'd be here.

I postponed the depositions,
but I have to get back

to the office during surgery.

He's my father, too.

I'll be outside.

How are you feeling?

Ask me that in seven hours.

You're going to be okay.

You know, I was thinking
about something on the ride over.

You remember that speech
you gave during the '69 campaign

about the anti-discrimination
ordinance, you remember?

You were shouting,
pounding your fist,

spitting like a mad dog.

I was too young to understand
much of what you were saying,

but I did understand
it was about race.

Blacks and whites,
right and wrong.

And I never...

Do me a favor, Colin.

What?

Don't feel sorry for me.

Oh, Christ.

All right.

Close the damn shades.

The sun is hurting my eyes.

You've been sleeping
with your consultant.

That's none of your business.

Another disaster
waiting to happen.

What does it matter
to you anyway?

It's difficult to stop
caring about someone

you've spent 25 years
of your life with.

But you did.

I apologize.

I'm willing to admit that...

I've been wrong. And I'm sorry.

What are you talking about?

I don't want to sign.

If you fall on one issue,

you make that sacrifice,

we can accomplish
everything we've worked for.

You won't be able
to make this on your own terms.

Not this time.

500,000.

That's how many people
have filed with the gccf.

I'd be responsible
for all of them.

It won't change a thing,
and you know it.

Why are you doing this?

I love you.

Whether you take
the deal or not.

Do me a favor.

Don't come back here
after the surgery.

You've reached Kate haber,
you can leave me a message...

City and state, please.

Arlington, Virginia.
Katherine haber.

Hello?

Kate.

Why are you calling me at home?

Can we talk for a minute?

This isn't a good time.

Just call the office tomorrow
and we can talk then.

I miss you.

Honey, we're starting the movie.

Can... I just need a minute.

I'll just be a minute.

That was your husband.

We've decided to try
and work things out.

Were you going
to bother telling me?

Yes, of course / was.

But it just happened and...

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

But what did you think
was going to happen?

That I'd campaign with you?

That I'd stand up there
on that podium by your side?

You weren't giving up politics
to be with me.

And if you did,
you would have been miserable.

You would have resented me.

Maybe not at first,
but what about in six months?

Or a year?

Do you love him?

Oh, Colin,
tell me that I'm wrong.

Tell me that I'm wrong.

I'm sorry to have
called so late.

You have a good night.

Colin?

Colin, open the door.

Colin. Colin.

Open the door.

Unlock the door.

Colin.

You've always
been a decent man, Colin.

But that's
not why / married you.

I married you because / knew
you had it in you to be a great man.

And great men,

men who build legacies,
they aren't always decent.

They understand that people...

They need someone
to tell them what to remember.

And what to forget.

They need great men
to insulate them from frailty.

What's good, what's bad.

Because only great men know how to
make people's powerlessness tolerable.

My mother grew up a
couple miles east of here in metairie.

My father grew up in the city.

I was raised in broadmoor.
Graduated jesuit high.

My parents had friends
who worked at this plant.

I had friends whose parents
worked at this plant.

And I have friends now
who work at this plant,

some of you are here today.

Sol understand
the problems that we face.

I understand our frustrations.

And / am here
to be the solution.

We must not let ourselves forget
the 11 men who died

on that transocean rig

or the impact the spill
has had on the Gulf coast.

But we also can't allow tragedy
to force us into making foolish decisions.

Instead of wasting our energy
vilifying the oil industry

and the gccf,
we need to be patient.

We need to work together.

Because the fact
of the matter is,

we need each other.

Good legislating
is the art of compromise.

Good business
is the art of compromise.

Life will forever be
the art of compromise.

Chris wilcox doesn't understand
that around here people go

from seafood to oil field
and from oilfield to seafood.

He doesn't understand that
a permanent ban on drilling

will devastate
our local economy.

He doesn't understand that
you cannot afford to send

hard-earned American dollars
to the middle east.

I am running for senate
to move things forward,

not only for this
great state of Louisiana,

but for this great country.
