1
00:04:01,239 --> 00:04:02,839
Ambulance!
2
00:04:03,590 --> 00:04:05,778
Stay with him, stay with him!
Get the mic down.
3
00:04:05,779 --> 00:04:07,079
Got a two-shot?
4
00:04:07,467 --> 00:04:10,567
- Ambulance!
Keep down the mic, keep it down.
5
00:04:11,116 --> 00:04:12,616
Keep shooting!
6
00:04:12,696 --> 00:04:14,596
Somebody bring an ambulance!
7
00:04:14,659 --> 00:04:16,659
Stay close. Watch out!
8
00:04:16,780 --> 00:04:18,479
An ambulance, for Christ's sake!
9
00:04:18,865 --> 00:04:20,565
Get this shot, right here!
10
00:04:21,122 --> 00:04:23,926
Go away! Go away!
Keep shooting. Bring it around.
11
00:04:24,026 --> 00:04:25,681
Go away!
12
00:04:26,249 --> 00:04:29,016
Roberto, let's go.
It's dangerous out here, come on.
13
00:04:29,017 --> 00:04:31,117
Not until an ambulance arrives.
14
00:04:31,217 --> 00:04:32,918
The ambulance and a doctor
are already on the way.
15
00:04:32,919 --> 00:04:34,513
- Are you sure?
- Yes, positive. Let's go.
16
00:04:34,514 --> 00:04:36,514
- Are you sure?
- Let's go, let's go.
17
00:04:50,148 --> 00:04:52,230
Roberto! Roberto!
18
00:04:52,780 --> 00:04:54,248
Come on, hurry!
19
00:04:56,449 --> 00:04:58,449
Cut, cut, cut!
20
00:05:31,154 --> 00:05:33,354
So, who did it? The guerillas?
21
00:05:34,303 --> 00:05:35,703
Maybe.
22
00:05:36,713 --> 00:05:38,717
Christ, you were terrific!
23
00:05:38,889 --> 00:05:40,789
It was an incredible moment!
24
00:05:41,856 --> 00:05:43,377
I'm gonna cut the film
tonight in New York...
25
00:05:43,378 --> 00:05:45,578
...and have it flown back
down tomorrow.
26
00:05:46,222 --> 00:05:49,722
We're gonna take this thing.
We're gonna take it.
27
00:05:50,140 --> 00:05:52,140
When are you coming back?
28
00:05:53,035 --> 00:05:56,735
I don't know yet, but I've gone over
everything with Miguel.
29
00:05:57,032 --> 00:05:58,741
He's gonna be handling...
30
00:05:58,742 --> 00:06:01,042
...all the print contracts,
the billboards, the posters.
31
00:06:01,177 --> 00:06:04,197
He also's gonna be having
the payroll,
32
00:06:04,198 --> 00:06:07,898
which includes the reporters.
I gave him a list already.
33
00:06:10,518 --> 00:06:13,418
From now until the election,
34
00:06:14,712 --> 00:06:17,112
every speech, every appearance,
35
00:06:17,450 --> 00:06:19,650
you're gonna wear this shirt.
36
00:06:20,898 --> 00:06:24,098
You keep your jacket on
till just before the finish,
37
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:26,759
then slowly take it off...
38
00:06:26,918 --> 00:06:30,661
...and you just stand there,
let the whole country see it.
39
00:06:30,761 --> 00:06:34,061
"They want to hurt us,
they want to destroy us,"
40
00:06:34,217 --> 00:06:36,619
"but they'll spill our blood
before they defeat us."
41
00:06:36,620 --> 00:06:38,220
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
42
00:07:27,768 --> 00:07:29,371
Nice trip, Mr. St. John?
43
00:07:29,471 --> 00:07:31,527
- Tired?
- I can't tell yet.
44
00:07:31,528 --> 00:07:33,174
We booked the mixing room
for the rest of the night.
45
00:07:33,175 --> 00:07:35,563
- Did you bring the film?
- Yeah, but I wanna clean up a bit.
46
00:07:35,564 --> 00:07:38,321
I want you to stick around
when I do the cuts.
47
00:07:39,420 --> 00:07:42,028
I assume you found some decent
talent for the voice-over.
48
00:07:42,029 --> 00:07:43,521
No, I found some great talent.
49
00:07:43,522 --> 00:07:45,526
He's an actor.
He does Spanish soaps here.
50
00:07:45,527 --> 00:07:47,934
He used to be a radio announcer
in South America.
51
00:07:47,935 --> 00:07:50,125
Mom, I hope you didn't wait up.
52
00:07:50,851 --> 00:07:53,782
God, you look like shit.
And this is only March.
53
00:07:53,783 --> 00:07:55,819
What will you look like
in November?
54
00:07:55,820 --> 00:07:57,120
I don't know.
55
00:07:57,193 --> 00:07:59,359
I had him talk to my friend
Patricia, and according to her,
56
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,360
he has a very sexy accent.
57
00:08:01,803 --> 00:08:04,094
I advise you to wrap this thing up
early tonight because...
58
00:08:04,095 --> 00:08:06,075
...Wallace Furman is coming
in the morning.
59
00:08:06,076 --> 00:08:09,480
- For how long?
- Definitely, no longer than all day.
60
00:08:10,247 --> 00:08:11,547
What did Ellen want?
61
00:08:11,611 --> 00:08:14,650
She said some decent information,
for a change.
62
00:08:14,750 --> 00:08:16,135
You're having dinner
tomorrow night with...
63
00:08:16,136 --> 00:08:19,127
-...Senator Hastings and his wife.
- In Washington?
64
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:21,683
Yeah, the plane will be
at LaGuardia at 6:00.
65
00:08:21,684 --> 00:08:23,957
Even with traffic, you should
get there by 8:30.
66
00:08:23,958 --> 00:08:25,803
You pulled the file
from the last campaign?
67
00:08:25,804 --> 00:08:28,070
Yeah.
Also the Stannard files.
68
00:08:28,570 --> 00:08:29,991
Oh, Garber called last week.
69
00:08:29,992 --> 00:08:32,189
We pushed your meeting
up to the 12th.
70
00:08:32,190 --> 00:08:35,094
You'll go to Seattle
right out of D.C.
71
00:08:35,207 --> 00:08:38,107
I'll go there tomorrow and
brief them on the new numbers.
72
00:08:38,812 --> 00:08:40,312
You did good.
73
00:08:40,478 --> 00:08:42,078
Syd, you are sensational!
74
00:08:42,901 --> 00:08:44,476
No problem!
75
00:08:44,726 --> 00:08:46,801
You're my kind of guy.
76
00:08:47,178 --> 00:08:48,478
And what kind is that?
77
00:08:48,574 --> 00:08:50,074
Temporary.
78
00:08:52,863 --> 00:08:55,045
So, let us move ahead,
79
00:08:55,046 --> 00:08:59,167
with energy,
with compassion, and...
80
00:08:59,849 --> 00:09:03,949
...united by the vision
of what New Mexico can be...
81
00:09:04,043 --> 00:09:07,043
...if only we dare
to make it so.
82
00:09:08,004 --> 00:09:09,022
Darling,
83
00:09:09,072 --> 00:09:11,204
you are so positive.
84
00:09:11,398 --> 00:09:13,687
- No, I'm not.
- Your strength flows right off--
85
00:09:13,688 --> 00:09:16,038
- Oh, no, please--
- I'm not just saying that!
86
00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:17,939
- I was terrible.
- You're so strong...
87
00:09:17,940 --> 00:09:20,547
...in a nice, understated way.
Now, granted,
88
00:09:20,597 --> 00:09:24,042
I may be a bit biased, Mr. St. John,
but you have got to admit that...
89
00:09:24,043 --> 00:09:27,237
...Wallace has just got
that certain-- you know.
90
00:09:27,326 --> 00:09:30,126
Mrs. Furman, Wallace,
I'll be right down.
91
00:09:31,922 --> 00:09:34,378
Are you sure you want to handle
this campaign?
92
00:09:34,478 --> 00:09:36,878
- Why?
- Why?
93
00:09:36,998 --> 00:09:41,098
If this guy were masturbating
his hand would fall asleep.
94
00:09:42,042 --> 00:09:43,542
We have nothing to lose.
95
00:09:43,613 --> 00:09:46,599
Anything that gets over 39%
makes us look good.
96
00:09:46,699 --> 00:09:49,003
And it pays the overhead.
97
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,752
Wallace, you're running
for governor.
98
00:09:55,753 --> 00:09:57,794
It's not gonna be easy.
99
00:09:57,894 --> 00:10:01,061
What we're aiming for here,
the ideal,
100
00:10:01,062 --> 00:10:04,327
is that you personify
the themes of the campaign.
101
00:10:04,428 --> 00:10:07,528
That you make a statement
just by standing up. Now,
102
00:10:07,585 --> 00:10:09,785
our themes are:
103
00:10:09,921 --> 00:10:12,321
new ideas, new directions.
104
00:10:12,802 --> 00:10:15,102
Change! Vigor!
105
00:10:15,756 --> 00:10:18,251
No offense, but you look
too soft to change a tire...
106
00:10:18,252 --> 00:10:20,552
- ...much less a state.
- That's ridiculous.
107
00:10:20,646 --> 00:10:23,246
- What are you saying?
- He's saying you're a wimp.
108
00:10:23,372 --> 00:10:24,762
What I'm saying is,
109
00:10:24,763 --> 00:10:27,572
you've got to align
the perception with the reality.
110
00:10:27,676 --> 00:10:30,083
We've got two immediate problems.
One, you were born into money.
111
00:10:30,084 --> 00:10:32,214
Two, you did it out of state,
which wasn't too smart,
112
00:10:32,215 --> 00:10:35,415
but these are turnable,
we'll manage this whole thing.
113
00:10:36,501 --> 00:10:39,044
All right, I want you to go
on a high protein diet...
114
00:10:39,045 --> 00:10:40,558
...and start working out
on a Nautilus,
115
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,455
three times a week,
minimum.
116
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,212
We also gotta work on punching up
this delivery of yours.
117
00:10:45,213 --> 00:10:48,204
And energyze it, make it track
with the message. Okay?
118
00:10:48,205 --> 00:10:50,405
- Yeah, okay.
- Now let's talk about colors.
119
00:10:50,498 --> 00:10:52,336
Syd's gonna take you
to this guy on 57th Street...
120
00:10:52,337 --> 00:10:55,737
...for a couple of dozen shirts,
once we get set on the shades.
121
00:10:55,896 --> 00:10:58,196
I don't like you in blue or gray.
Too cold for you.
122
00:10:58,662 --> 00:11:00,662
You're running
in New Mexico.
123
00:11:00,816 --> 00:11:02,560
You look a little
washed out.
124
00:11:02,610 --> 00:11:04,420
Don't you ever
get outside at all?
125
00:11:04,489 --> 00:11:06,461
I've asked him
to stay out of the sun...
126
00:11:06,462 --> 00:11:09,762
...because his family has
a history of skin cancer.
127
00:11:12,187 --> 00:11:14,087
But you've never had it.
128
00:11:15,124 --> 00:11:16,324
No.
129
00:11:17,312 --> 00:11:18,498
Long-term exposure, right?
130
00:11:18,499 --> 00:11:21,978
This is only going to be
for the next six months.
131
00:11:21,979 --> 00:11:23,605
I don't see anything
to worry about.
132
00:11:23,606 --> 00:11:27,344
Wait, I-I'm paying you,
you-you work for me--
133
00:11:27,471 --> 00:11:29,625
You're trying
to run my life here!
134
00:11:29,626 --> 00:11:32,326
Wallace, Wallace, Wallace...
135
00:11:32,993 --> 00:11:36,993
You are paying me
to make you a new life!
136
00:11:37,113 --> 00:11:39,439
Politics! And in order
for me to do that,
137
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,186
I gotta be in charge of
all the elements that go into it.
138
00:11:42,187 --> 00:11:44,087
It's the only way I work.
139
00:11:44,347 --> 00:11:46,533
That means, framing
the overall strategy...
140
00:11:46,534 --> 00:11:49,147
...as well as deciding
all the specifics.
141
00:11:49,222 --> 00:11:53,163
The look of the campaign,
the look of the billboards.
142
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,240
Bumper stickers, what colors
they're going to be?
143
00:11:55,321 --> 00:11:58,521
It means the polling, the ads,
radio, TV, newspapers.
144
00:11:58,596 --> 00:12:02,061
It means coordinating every piece
of information out of this office...
145
00:12:02,062 --> 00:12:04,076
...to make sure it fits with
what a polling tells us...
146
00:12:04,077 --> 00:12:05,857
...the people are
worrying about.
147
00:12:05,858 --> 00:12:07,392
Or what they're
feeling good about!
148
00:12:07,442 --> 00:12:10,561
But, aside from the campaign themes,
I want to address...
149
00:12:10,562 --> 00:12:13,106
- ...some of my long-term plans!
- Yes, I'm sure they're great,
150
00:12:13,107 --> 00:12:14,498
but they're not important.
151
00:12:14,648 --> 00:12:17,072
See, my job is to get you in.
Once you're there,
152
00:12:17,073 --> 00:12:20,517
you do whatever your conscience
tells you to do.
153
00:12:52,014 --> 00:12:54,614
...before the largest crowd
of the campaign.
154
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:57,612
It now appears the bloody
terrorist attack succeeded only...
155
00:12:57,613 --> 00:13:00,076
...in adding momentum
and conferring legitimacy...
156
00:13:00,077 --> 00:13:02,613
...on the one-time
underdog Cepeda.
157
00:13:03,177 --> 00:13:06,077
Well, Mr. Billings,
this is not good news.
158
00:13:06,659 --> 00:13:08,863
It certainly is not,
Your Excellency.
159
00:13:08,936 --> 00:13:11,036
Do you know
how it happened?
160
00:13:11,161 --> 00:13:14,161
Well, we know that none of
our people were involved.
161
00:13:14,497 --> 00:13:17,297
Perhaps, the guerillas.
I'll know more tonight.
162
00:13:17,368 --> 00:13:20,068
How will the bombing
affect us?
163
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,459
It's hard to know.
164
00:13:22,898 --> 00:13:25,398
Cepeda could gather
tremendous support.
165
00:13:27,262 --> 00:13:28,462
The only thing I know for sure...
166
00:13:28,604 --> 00:13:32,204
...is that Pete St. John will milk
this thing for all it's worth.
167
00:13:32,977 --> 00:13:36,387
- Milk it?
- Exploit. Use.
168
00:13:36,884 --> 00:13:39,991
An incident like this
is tailor-made for St. John.
169
00:13:40,975 --> 00:13:43,036
He managed the Cepeda campaign
brilliantly.
170
00:13:43,037 --> 00:13:45,637
He'll probably manipulate him
into the presidency.
171
00:13:45,762 --> 00:13:47,482
That is what I fear.
172
00:13:48,475 --> 00:13:52,175
We have spent considerable
amounts of money down there.
173
00:13:52,418 --> 00:13:56,018
His Majesty will not be pleased,
Mr. Billings.
174
00:13:57,564 --> 00:13:59,164
Nor am I, Excellency.
175
00:13:59,387 --> 00:14:01,587
These have been
difficult years for us.
176
00:14:02,566 --> 00:14:04,566
Prices keep falling.
177
00:14:05,602 --> 00:14:08,177
Populists like Cepeda keep...
178
00:14:08,827 --> 00:14:11,902
...nationalizing their oil
and entering the market.
179
00:14:12,272 --> 00:14:15,669
Here, we have senators
and congressmen talking of...
180
00:14:15,719 --> 00:14:19,172
...solar generation and
electrical wind generators...
181
00:14:19,304 --> 00:14:22,480
...and other such--
impractical ideas.
182
00:14:24,442 --> 00:14:28,242
Your upcoming elections are
important to us, Mr. Billings.
183
00:14:28,868 --> 00:14:30,568
We're well prepared.
184
00:14:32,037 --> 00:14:35,337
I feel completely secure
about Senator Hastings.
185
00:14:35,724 --> 00:14:39,224
And the man who will be
replacing him in...
186
00:14:40,672 --> 00:14:43,772
- ...Oheeo?
- Ohio.
187
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,520
Thank you, Mr. Billings.
188
00:14:46,869 --> 00:14:49,273
A superb candidate,
Your Excellency.
189
00:14:49,648 --> 00:14:52,348
Who will be in charge
of his campaign?
190
00:14:52,822 --> 00:14:55,122
Well, we have one of the
top campaign consultants.
191
00:14:55,198 --> 00:14:58,398
Why not... Pete St. John?
192
00:14:59,336 --> 00:15:02,136
He may be too close
to Senator Hastings.
193
00:15:02,936 --> 00:15:05,136
He may have
conflicting loyalties.
194
00:15:05,270 --> 00:15:09,070
From what I know of St. John,
he has no loyalties.
195
00:15:09,158 --> 00:15:12,258
His candidates seem to be on the left,
on the right, in the center--
196
00:15:12,873 --> 00:15:16,073
He seems to be loyal
only to money.
197
00:15:16,512 --> 00:15:18,212
And we have money.
198
00:15:19,352 --> 00:15:21,141
- I want to think about it.
- Is he the best?
199
00:15:21,191 --> 00:15:24,683
- Yes, certainly one of the best.
- Then, please, Billings...
200
00:15:24,684 --> 00:15:26,484
...do think about it.
201
00:15:26,607 --> 00:15:29,807
I don't want His Majesty upset
with another failure,
202
00:15:29,918 --> 00:15:31,618
mine...
203
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,500
...or yours.
204
00:15:49,211 --> 00:15:51,211
...We can't afford you
anymore, Pete.
205
00:15:51,294 --> 00:15:54,060
Naah, you don't have to, Senator.
I'm like Mother Teresa.
206
00:15:54,061 --> 00:15:56,468
My work's only
for the truly needy.
207
00:15:56,602 --> 00:15:58,556
I ran into Phil Healston.
He said he saw you...
208
00:15:58,557 --> 00:16:00,303
...at the Aspen conference
last month.
209
00:16:00,304 --> 00:16:01,995
How's Phil doing?
210
00:16:02,095 --> 00:16:04,810
Great, absolutely great.
He said he was very impressed...
211
00:16:04,811 --> 00:16:07,248
...with the paper you gave him
on solar generation.
212
00:16:07,249 --> 00:16:08,449
- He showed it to you?
- Mm-hm.
213
00:16:08,563 --> 00:16:10,363
What do you think?
214
00:16:10,974 --> 00:16:12,474
What else?
215
00:16:12,677 --> 00:16:14,677
If that new design works...
216
00:16:14,734 --> 00:16:17,342
...shake-out will be
absolutely incredible.
217
00:16:17,442 --> 00:16:20,105
I mean, if this gets funded,
218
00:16:20,107 --> 00:16:22,093
actually worked...
219
00:16:22,094 --> 00:16:23,594
My God!
220
00:16:24,010 --> 00:16:26,355
We're talking, ten,
fifteen years?
221
00:16:26,505 --> 00:16:29,559
Just the Sun Belt alone, what,
30%-40% of the population?
222
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,710
That's it for the utilities.
Gone.
223
00:16:31,711 --> 00:16:34,313
This is the fuel oil,
electric, gas, everything...
224
00:16:34,414 --> 00:16:36,460
...right down the tubes.
225
00:16:38,186 --> 00:16:40,001
This must've leaked out by now.
226
00:16:40,002 --> 00:16:43,182
You and your committee must be
getting squeezed like hell.
227
00:16:45,869 --> 00:16:47,269
God!
228
00:16:51,079 --> 00:16:52,820
When I talked
with Syd,
229
00:16:52,821 --> 00:16:55,583
naturally, given
the timing, she, uh,
230
00:16:55,639 --> 00:16:57,639
...she assumed--
231
00:17:04,185 --> 00:17:08,485
I'm not running again,
I've made the decision. It's done.
232
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:12,028
I'm not feeling well.
I'm ill.
233
00:17:12,117 --> 00:17:14,117
That's what'll come out.
234
00:17:16,259 --> 00:17:17,863
Sam, I didn't know.
235
00:17:19,205 --> 00:17:20,562
It's over, Pete.
236
00:17:20,563 --> 00:17:24,208
I'm sorry about the campaign,
but-- it's over.
237
00:17:24,209 --> 00:17:26,509
Fuck the campaign.
238
00:17:26,865 --> 00:17:28,465
Just tell me how're you
going to be.
239
00:17:28,609 --> 00:17:30,109
I'll be all right.
240
00:17:34,419 --> 00:17:36,419
Is it terminal?
241
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,300
No, it's, uh--
242
00:17:42,034 --> 00:17:45,338
After a while, when we have
some time, we'll talk.
243
00:17:45,431 --> 00:17:49,731
I asked you down here, well,
first, to tell you.
244
00:17:50,357 --> 00:17:53,128
Then, to ask you to help me
with the statement.
245
00:17:53,129 --> 00:17:56,046
I don't want to get
into specifics, but,
246
00:17:56,047 --> 00:17:58,177
it must be unequivocal.
247
00:17:59,815 --> 00:18:02,615
I've thought you'd be
the guy to write it.
248
00:18:03,866 --> 00:18:05,666
When do you want
this thing?
249
00:18:06,849 --> 00:18:09,419
I asked my press secretary to...
250
00:18:09,970 --> 00:18:13,253
...call a news conference,
10:00 in the morning.
251
00:18:15,535 --> 00:18:16,935
Tomorrow?
252
00:18:24,327 --> 00:18:27,126
Sam, you know you can
postpone this a couple of days--
253
00:18:27,127 --> 00:18:28,227
No!
254
00:18:34,452 --> 00:18:35,952
Okay.
255
00:18:38,024 --> 00:18:41,924
There's a few calls you're
gonna have to make tonight...
256
00:18:42,108 --> 00:18:45,308
...to let people know before
they hear it on the news.
257
00:18:45,378 --> 00:18:47,278
Yes, I forgot.
You're right.
258
00:18:48,553 --> 00:18:50,553
The Majority Leader,
259
00:18:53,715 --> 00:18:57,115
the... State Party Chairman...
260
00:19:09,959 --> 00:19:12,159
Sam, I'm really sorry.
261
00:19:15,870 --> 00:19:18,970
You're one of the three or four guys
who made a difference up there.
262
00:19:56,673 --> 00:19:58,673
- Yeah.
- Mr. St. John?
263
00:19:59,725 --> 00:20:00,825
Who are you?
264
00:20:01,148 --> 00:20:04,048
Arnold Billings. I'm calling
on behalf of Jerome Cade.
265
00:20:05,385 --> 00:20:07,685
- Never heard of him.
- Yes, I know.
266
00:20:07,792 --> 00:20:09,338
I'd like to arrange
an introduction.
267
00:20:09,339 --> 00:20:12,059
Mr. Cade will be running
for Senator Hastings' seat.
268
00:20:13,865 --> 00:20:17,035
- How did you find out?
- We just heard.
269
00:20:18,756 --> 00:20:20,356
He'll be entering
the primary?
270
00:20:20,509 --> 00:20:22,809
Yes, but I expect
he'll be unopposed.
271
00:20:23,635 --> 00:20:25,935
I seriously doubt that,
Mr. Billings.
272
00:20:26,379 --> 00:20:29,810
Nonetheless, that's the opinion here.
The filing deadline's the 1st.
273
00:20:29,811 --> 00:20:31,895
We already organized
to collect signatures.
274
00:20:31,896 --> 00:20:33,681
Mr. Cade is well-known
within Ohio and...
275
00:20:33,682 --> 00:20:36,382
...the Senate seat is something
he's giving serious thought to.
276
00:20:36,806 --> 00:20:38,110
You know my price?
277
00:20:38,226 --> 00:20:40,256
$25,000 a month plus expenses,
278
00:20:40,257 --> 00:20:42,726
15% override on all media buys.
279
00:20:45,682 --> 00:20:48,282
Tell me more
about Mr. Cade.
280
00:20:51,142 --> 00:20:53,342
Senator, how are you, sir?
281
00:20:53,693 --> 00:20:55,793
How are you? It's good
to see you again.
282
00:20:56,455 --> 00:20:57,655
Madam.
283
00:20:58,191 --> 00:20:59,445
I got one for you.
284
00:20:59,446 --> 00:21:01,841
Why did they put windshield wipers
on a Polish airline...
285
00:21:01,842 --> 00:21:03,637
- ...on the inside?
- Why?
286
00:21:06,394 --> 00:21:09,794
- Hey! How're you doing?
- Wilfred, you old reprobate!
287
00:21:13,851 --> 00:21:15,505
I hear you're gonna resign
from the paper and finally...
288
00:21:15,506 --> 00:21:18,206
- ...do some good in the world.
- Oh, God.
289
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:20,820
- Good to see you.
- Nice seeing you.
290
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,760
- My Goodness.
- Good morning.
291
00:21:25,333 --> 00:21:27,535
I was worried for a while
I was gonna break our string.
292
00:21:27,625 --> 00:21:30,625
Oh, no, I got your message.
You were in London last week.
293
00:21:30,711 --> 00:21:33,197
Yes, Leonard and I were summoned
by our news editor for some...
294
00:21:33,198 --> 00:21:35,879
...in-depth preplanning of our--
295
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,349
let's see, of our--
296
00:21:37,450 --> 00:21:39,472
American election coverage.
297
00:21:42,158 --> 00:21:44,522
- Wilfred?
- Yes?
298
00:21:45,177 --> 00:21:49,277
What have you heard about, um,
about Sam Hastings?
299
00:21:49,732 --> 00:21:53,436
Oh! Nothing yet.
He's supposed to be sick.
300
00:21:53,881 --> 00:21:55,743
Hm! No ideas, huh?
301
00:21:55,793 --> 00:21:57,413
Are you writing this down,
Ellen, honey?
302
00:21:57,414 --> 00:22:00,014
No, no, no.
I'm just curious.
303
00:22:00,698 --> 00:22:02,898
All I know is he--
- Have you decided?
304
00:22:02,959 --> 00:22:04,659
Oh, uh, yes.
305
00:22:05,237 --> 00:22:07,073
Have you got any freshly
squeezed orange juice?
306
00:22:07,074 --> 00:22:08,883
- You didn't have any the last time.
- We have.
307
00:22:08,884 --> 00:22:11,151
Right. I'll have
a large glass and...
308
00:22:11,152 --> 00:22:12,582
...and English muffin.
309
00:22:12,651 --> 00:22:16,096
I'll have that juice, too,
with a little vodka and ice.
310
00:22:16,097 --> 00:22:18,301
- Anything else, Mr. Buckley?
- A doughnut plain.
311
00:22:20,393 --> 00:22:23,180
All I know is, I ran into him
three weeks ago...
312
00:22:23,181 --> 00:22:25,957
...at the Gridiron thing,
and everything was great.
313
00:22:25,958 --> 00:22:28,189
He looks great,
like usual.
314
00:22:28,190 --> 00:22:31,164
He feels good, just had
his physical at Walter Reed,
315
00:22:31,165 --> 00:22:33,393
everything cheked out
just fine,
316
00:22:33,545 --> 00:22:35,296
and, all of a sudden,
317
00:22:35,446 --> 00:22:38,167
he's walking away from
the U.S. Senate. Mmm?
318
00:22:38,168 --> 00:22:40,114
This means that
Mr. St. John loses...
319
00:22:40,115 --> 00:22:42,790
...one of his "A" clients.
320
00:22:43,614 --> 00:22:46,414
How's our boy?
Have you seen him lately?
321
00:22:46,576 --> 00:22:48,149
I called him,
he's in South America.
322
00:22:48,150 --> 00:22:50,122
He was doing the...
323
00:22:50,123 --> 00:22:53,050
...presidential campaign
last week, there.
324
00:22:53,428 --> 00:22:55,228
Are you two getting
back together?
325
00:22:56,586 --> 00:22:58,586
- Are you?
- No.
326
00:22:58,933 --> 00:23:00,533
Let's get right to it, shall we?
327
00:23:00,708 --> 00:23:03,208
Did he screw you
as good as he did me?
328
00:23:05,073 --> 00:23:07,273
- Have you seen him?
- No.
329
00:23:07,684 --> 00:23:10,284
You're doing the New Mexico
gubernatorial race, uh...
330
00:23:10,565 --> 00:23:12,565
- ...Frank McKusker, right?
- Yeah.
331
00:23:12,618 --> 00:23:15,218
You'll be seeing him
very soon.
332
00:23:15,866 --> 00:23:19,266
- He got Wallace Furman.
- Yeah, I heard he signed on.
333
00:23:19,508 --> 00:23:21,868
Well, why not? Get the best
money can buy, right?
334
00:23:21,869 --> 00:23:24,174
That's what he is, isn't he?
I mean, he's the very best.
335
00:23:24,175 --> 00:23:27,856
It doesn't matter what or who
gets hurt in the process.
336
00:23:28,801 --> 00:23:32,001
Sometimes I look at him
and he seems the same.
337
00:23:32,530 --> 00:23:34,934
You were married to him,
so tell me,
338
00:23:34,935 --> 00:23:36,435
when did it happen?
339
00:23:37,178 --> 00:23:39,558
I keep thinking back and
I can't figure it out.
340
00:23:41,675 --> 00:23:44,875
When did he start thinking
it didn't matter anymore?
341
00:23:46,052 --> 00:23:48,090
I never heard of this guy.
He's got me on the phone...
342
00:23:48,091 --> 00:23:51,642
...one hour, 55 minutes
after you'd made the calls.
343
00:23:51,742 --> 00:23:55,342
I'm not surprised.
We knew it would get around.
344
00:23:56,156 --> 00:23:57,400
Who is he?
345
00:23:57,401 --> 00:24:00,005
- Billings or Cade?
- Either one.
346
00:24:00,866 --> 00:24:03,166
Well, I've met Billings once.
347
00:24:03,633 --> 00:24:05,133
He's in Washington.
348
00:24:05,382 --> 00:24:08,285
I believe he has a
public relations firm,
349
00:24:08,286 --> 00:24:10,232
I'm not exactly sure.
350
00:24:10,332 --> 00:24:13,332
And Cade, owns
a number of businesses.
351
00:24:14,088 --> 00:24:17,438
Trucking, bottling,
352
00:24:17,588 --> 00:24:21,088
and something with pipelines,
mostly in the Midwest.
353
00:24:21,147 --> 00:24:24,451
He's made some large contributions
to the State party.
354
00:24:24,568 --> 00:24:26,368
He got a lot of
publicity last year.
355
00:24:26,430 --> 00:24:29,429
He headed a
blue-ribbon commission on...
356
00:24:29,430 --> 00:24:31,330
...governmental waste.
357
00:24:33,932 --> 00:24:35,446
What do you think?
358
00:24:35,596 --> 00:24:37,232
About what?
359
00:24:38,409 --> 00:24:39,709
Cade.
360
00:24:44,062 --> 00:24:45,762
Should I take him on?
361
00:24:45,813 --> 00:24:48,191
Well, I'd give it
some serious thought.
362
00:24:48,192 --> 00:24:49,892
Is that the new draft?
363
00:24:51,978 --> 00:24:54,190
Yeah. Yeah, that's it.
364
00:24:56,028 --> 00:24:58,443
Still, you must be happy about
connecting with McKusker.
365
00:24:58,444 --> 00:25:01,418
- He's the big favorite, right?
- Oh, I sure am, honey.
366
00:25:01,419 --> 00:25:03,619
Gotta look out for
my batting average.
367
00:25:04,022 --> 00:25:06,222
Speak of the devil!
Look at this.
368
00:25:07,570 --> 00:25:09,570
As I live and breathe.
369
00:25:09,907 --> 00:25:10,988
Hello.
370
00:25:10,989 --> 00:25:12,307
Darling.
371
00:25:13,232 --> 00:25:15,732
- I'm sorry about Sam.
- Yeah.
372
00:25:16,165 --> 00:25:18,165
How's Claire taking it?
373
00:25:18,747 --> 00:25:21,197
She's doing fine.
So is he.
374
00:25:21,198 --> 00:25:23,348
Pete, Pete-- um--
375
00:25:24,683 --> 00:25:26,578
Is it-- Is it cancer?
376
00:25:26,579 --> 00:25:28,483
I-I know his physical
last month was good--
377
00:25:28,568 --> 00:25:30,568
His press conference
is at 10:00.
378
00:25:30,998 --> 00:25:32,256
What did he say?
379
00:25:32,406 --> 00:25:35,198
- "His press conference is at 10:00."
- Oh.
380
00:25:37,451 --> 00:25:38,754
Thanks.
381
00:25:41,233 --> 00:25:44,736
I hear we'll be running into
each other around New Mexico.
382
00:25:44,737 --> 00:25:46,933
Yeah. How about we keep it
close till the last week?
383
00:25:46,934 --> 00:25:48,634
Then flip a coin.
384
00:25:49,837 --> 00:25:51,737
I saw you on Brinkley.
It's incredible but I think...
385
00:25:51,738 --> 00:25:54,096
...you're more arrogant
since we got divorced.
386
00:25:54,097 --> 00:25:57,336
Hey, look, don't go
blaming yourself.
387
00:26:00,218 --> 00:26:03,308
You're meeting with
Jerome Cade at 10:30.
388
00:26:03,508 --> 00:26:05,760
- Tonight?
- Look, his people called!
389
00:26:05,761 --> 00:26:07,641
You're going flat out
the rest of the week and...
390
00:26:07,642 --> 00:26:10,301
...they wanted this meeting
as soon as possible.
391
00:26:13,256 --> 00:26:14,456
Look,
392
00:26:15,489 --> 00:26:17,024
I'll call back
and postpone.
393
00:26:17,025 --> 00:26:18,889
You don't need to take
this guy on.
394
00:26:18,973 --> 00:26:22,035
Besides Stannard in Seattle,
we still got Cepeda.
395
00:26:22,036 --> 00:26:25,232
And Furman in New Mexico's
gonna take a lot of time.
396
00:26:25,332 --> 00:26:26,832
It's all right.
397
00:26:41,860 --> 00:26:44,181
All right, it boils down
to this, Governor.
398
00:26:44,182 --> 00:26:47,682
We don't wait for Murdoch
to bust our balls, we jump his.
399
00:26:47,941 --> 00:26:49,555
Now, you've seen how
he's braked out.
400
00:26:49,556 --> 00:26:52,860
You're getting killed on
the death penalty veto.
401
00:26:53,053 --> 00:26:57,153
Ever wonder why the Eastwood movies
do so good up here?
402
00:26:57,606 --> 00:26:59,786
And then, there is the--
403
00:26:59,936 --> 00:27:02,006
the divorce.
404
00:27:02,101 --> 00:27:03,501
Not so much that you split up,
405
00:27:03,620 --> 00:27:06,733
...but we had been pushing
the family image...
406
00:27:06,784 --> 00:27:08,220
...in the first campaign.
407
00:27:09,775 --> 00:27:12,232
I read the report
this morning, Pete.
408
00:27:12,233 --> 00:27:14,001
Not unexpected,
409
00:27:14,002 --> 00:27:16,060
but the fact that the resentment
has lasted this long...
410
00:27:16,061 --> 00:27:17,688
...was surprising.
411
00:27:17,689 --> 00:27:20,928
Look, Governor, if you go over
the focus group interview...
412
00:27:20,929 --> 00:27:23,204
you'll see they keep
mentioning the fact...
413
00:27:23,205 --> 00:27:26,235
...that you married
your campaign manager.
414
00:27:29,375 --> 00:27:32,475
They also keep mentioning
that campfire commercial.
415
00:27:33,733 --> 00:27:35,309
Harry cooking eggs
over the fire...
416
00:27:35,310 --> 00:27:38,210
...for the kids, while
you're chopping wood?
417
00:27:39,002 --> 00:27:41,802
That was almost four years ago.
Hell of a spot!
418
00:27:41,860 --> 00:27:45,964
The election's this fall.
I gotta teach you how to cook.
419
00:27:49,781 --> 00:27:51,381
Governor, this is
my recommendation.
420
00:27:51,504 --> 00:27:53,990
We advance the media buys
three weeks,
421
00:27:53,991 --> 00:27:57,033
shift money from the fall schedule
if we have to and blow him away now.
422
00:27:57,034 --> 00:27:59,628
Back him off, before he nails you
for mothering killers and...
423
00:27:59,629 --> 00:28:03,529
- ...dumping Harry and the kids.
- She didn't dump them.
424
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,244
Yeah, anyway,
that's my recommendation.
425
00:28:16,777 --> 00:28:20,177
We've leased 30 minutes
of satellite time.
426
00:28:20,383 --> 00:28:23,683
They'll be beaming him in
in about 90 seconds.
427
00:28:23,776 --> 00:28:27,276
So, let's move our chairs
a little closer.
428
00:28:28,272 --> 00:28:31,272
Charles, go ahead, sit down.
Mrs. Furman.
429
00:28:31,533 --> 00:28:33,837
Put the chairs close
so we can talk into the mic.
430
00:28:33,970 --> 00:28:35,370
Who is this guy?
Captain Video?
431
00:28:35,463 --> 00:28:39,063
No, he's the best numbers-cruncher
in the free world.
432
00:28:40,403 --> 00:28:42,847
I'll be heading back to New York
in about 10 minutes,
433
00:28:42,848 --> 00:28:44,422
but Syd's going to stick around
for a couple of days...
434
00:28:44,423 --> 00:28:46,034
...and make sure
everything's on line.
435
00:28:46,035 --> 00:28:48,295
I thought you were going
to be in charge.
436
00:28:48,571 --> 00:28:50,871
I am, Mrs. Furman.
I'm in overall charge.
437
00:28:50,977 --> 00:28:53,229
Fortunately, Syd has consented
to make sure...
438
00:28:53,230 --> 00:28:56,077
...I don't screw up on
any of those details.
439
00:28:59,023 --> 00:29:01,323
It'll take a minute.
St. John to Ralph.
440
00:29:01,855 --> 00:29:04,055
St. John to Ralph.
441
00:29:04,909 --> 00:29:07,109
St. John to Ralph.
442
00:29:07,899 --> 00:29:09,299
There he is.
443
00:29:09,771 --> 00:29:12,071
- Sorry, Pete.
- It's okay, Ralph.
444
00:29:13,723 --> 00:29:16,223
- Sorry, Pete.
- All right. You're looking good, Ralph.
445
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,640
I try.
446
00:29:18,062 --> 00:29:20,762
Ralph, I got
Mr. and Mrs. Furman here,
447
00:29:20,832 --> 00:29:22,232
and Charles Whiting,
their campaign manager.
448
00:29:22,333 --> 00:29:24,846
They're excited to hear about
what you can do for them, so,
449
00:29:24,847 --> 00:29:27,051
just lay out the program...
450
00:29:27,052 --> 00:29:28,747
...and they'll cut in
if they have any questions.
451
00:29:28,969 --> 00:29:31,469
- The sound level's okay?
- Yeah, it's great.
452
00:29:31,957 --> 00:29:34,236
The principle is simple enough.
453
00:29:34,336 --> 00:29:37,222
We take the last census data...
454
00:29:37,223 --> 00:29:40,167
...and we match it against
all the New Mexico zip codes.
455
00:29:40,168 --> 00:29:42,309
Then we combine that with what
the field research has determined...
456
00:29:42,310 --> 00:29:44,806
...should be the targeted
population clusters.
457
00:29:44,807 --> 00:29:49,011
In your case we've isolated
18 neutral or favorable clusters.
458
00:29:49,238 --> 00:29:53,438
For example, we concluded
a high favorable is, uh...
459
00:29:54,494 --> 00:29:56,358
...pools and patios.
460
00:29:56,359 --> 00:29:59,927
Suburban, white-collar,
married, 25 to 49 years old.
461
00:29:59,928 --> 00:30:02,196
We tailor the mail and the
phone pitches to each group...
462
00:30:02,197 --> 00:30:05,457
...based on what we already know
is bothering them.
463
00:30:05,732 --> 00:30:10,332
But the really exciting stuff comes
when I work out a simulation model.
464
00:30:10,610 --> 00:30:12,709
That's when you tell me
what you're thinking of saying...
465
00:30:12,710 --> 00:30:14,810
...and I'll tell you how
they're going to react.
466
00:30:14,994 --> 00:30:16,994
Even then, the short range
possibilities of a simulation--
467
00:30:17,063 --> 00:30:18,463
- Err-- excuse me...
- Yeah.
468
00:30:18,603 --> 00:30:20,779
What is a simulation model?
469
00:30:20,980 --> 00:30:22,980
It's a little complicated
but I'll try to explain.
470
00:30:23,210 --> 00:30:25,288
See you around the block.
It's based on the idea that...
471
00:30:25,289 --> 00:30:26,845
See you.
...a small number can represent...
472
00:30:26,846 --> 00:30:28,295
...a much larger number.
473
00:30:28,296 --> 00:30:30,601
We start out with
the breakdown of, let's say,
474
00:30:30,602 --> 00:30:32,227
a city like Albuquerque.
475
00:30:32,377 --> 00:30:34,002
We break it down
demographically by...
476
00:30:40,081 --> 00:30:42,381
- Are you all right?
- I'm all right, yeah.
477
00:30:44,211 --> 00:30:45,811
- Bye!
- Goodbye.
478
00:30:53,556 --> 00:30:55,056
Pete!
479
00:30:56,709 --> 00:30:58,809
Wallace Furman?
480
00:30:59,106 --> 00:31:00,716
Oh, God!
481
00:31:02,366 --> 00:31:04,910
Wallace Furman?
482
00:31:08,434 --> 00:31:11,234
You got a real piece of work
this time, Pete!
483
00:31:11,814 --> 00:31:14,714
What's gonna happen to your
boy Furman when you go home...
484
00:31:14,861 --> 00:31:17,561
...and he's got to stand all by himself,
and let all the folks in on...
485
00:31:17,696 --> 00:31:21,896
...whatever he could possibly have
on his feeble mind? Goddamn!
486
00:31:22,195 --> 00:31:23,795
How could you sell this guy?
487
00:31:23,875 --> 00:31:26,775
It's just for governor,
he doesn't have to be perfect.
488
00:31:26,883 --> 00:31:29,387
There's more
than just winning!
489
00:31:29,448 --> 00:31:31,728
I told you that the first time
you came in the door!
490
00:31:31,729 --> 00:31:33,330
And you used to
believe in that, too!
491
00:31:33,331 --> 00:31:36,255
- You used to believe that--
- I used to believe in tooth fairies, OK?
492
00:31:36,256 --> 00:31:39,256
Oh! You wanna talk
about fairies?
493
00:31:39,778 --> 00:31:41,778
What about Willet?
494
00:31:43,196 --> 00:31:45,496
The man fucks chickens!
495
00:31:46,332 --> 00:31:49,011
Yeah! This guy
goes down to Haiti...
496
00:31:49,012 --> 00:31:52,916
...and he gets his rocks off
drinking blood of fucking chickens!
497
00:31:53,257 --> 00:31:55,087
We had pictures!
498
00:31:59,305 --> 00:32:02,005
We had pictures and
we couldn't even use 'em!
499
00:32:02,269 --> 00:32:06,169
You put a pervert in the U.S. Congress
who fucks chickens!
500
00:32:08,823 --> 00:32:12,423
I wouldn't be concerned.
He's probably exaggerating.
501
00:32:18,012 --> 00:32:19,955
Pete, they're backed up
at LaGuardia.
502
00:32:19,956 --> 00:32:22,256
We'll be circling for about
ten minutes.
503
00:32:34,426 --> 00:32:35,826
Mr. Cade.
504
00:32:38,026 --> 00:32:39,426
Sorry I'm late.
505
00:32:39,585 --> 00:32:41,985
I've been looking forward to
meeting you, Mr. St. John.
506
00:32:42,037 --> 00:32:44,227
I hope you're going into
this thing prepared to be...
507
00:32:44,228 --> 00:32:47,128
...the official hydrant
for the State of Ohio?
508
00:32:47,319 --> 00:32:50,519
You'll find that I'm prepared
for whatever it takes.
509
00:32:51,286 --> 00:32:53,586
Does that go for the
energy market as well?
510
00:32:53,725 --> 00:32:56,235
Ah! I see you've been
making inquiries.
511
00:32:56,236 --> 00:32:58,336
I'd have been concerned
if you hadn't.
512
00:32:58,467 --> 00:33:00,467
John, Henry, Mr. St. John.
513
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,980
Can we expedite this?
514
00:33:04,577 --> 00:33:06,314
Is there something
you haven't found out yet,
515
00:33:06,315 --> 00:33:07,881
that you'd like to know?
516
00:33:11,324 --> 00:33:13,524
What's your
biggest weakness?
517
00:33:16,659 --> 00:33:19,059
You mean, in running
for the Senate?
518
00:33:21,537 --> 00:33:25,037
Probably, the fact that I
haven't held public office yet.
519
00:33:25,443 --> 00:33:27,943
Although I personally
consider that a plus.
520
00:33:28,672 --> 00:33:30,491
It's not critical.
521
00:33:30,492 --> 00:33:33,796
You have done some
public service stuff.
522
00:33:34,145 --> 00:33:36,093
Even as far as issues
that could get you...
523
00:33:36,094 --> 00:33:39,272
...into a Kennedy School seminar,
or get your position paper...
524
00:33:39,273 --> 00:33:42,288
...printed in the
Times' op-ed page.
525
00:33:43,129 --> 00:33:45,274
I take it money
is not a problem.
526
00:33:45,275 --> 00:33:46,603
No.
527
00:33:47,016 --> 00:33:49,024
So, you would start--
528
00:33:50,174 --> 00:33:52,274
I haven't done any
polls yet, I'd figure...
529
00:33:52,275 --> 00:33:55,316
...16, 17, 18 points down.
530
00:33:55,698 --> 00:33:58,702
And just by getting the nomination
that would jump.
531
00:33:59,005 --> 00:34:01,905
So, I take it you're with me,
then, Mr. St. John?
532
00:34:05,399 --> 00:34:07,081
Have you got
a couple of minutes?
533
00:34:07,082 --> 00:34:09,482
I'd like to show you something
down in the basement.
534
00:34:15,658 --> 00:34:17,258
Gentlemen, thank you.
535
00:34:17,351 --> 00:34:18,851
Mr. Cade.
536
00:34:31,307 --> 00:34:33,155
The Senate put in
new chairs,
537
00:34:33,156 --> 00:34:35,549
right before Sam's
last campaign.
538
00:34:35,550 --> 00:34:38,750
I talked him into letting me
keep his old one.
539
00:34:40,398 --> 00:34:43,898
We used it in four or five
of his last TV spots.
540
00:34:54,475 --> 00:34:56,275
Sit in it.
541
00:35:09,272 --> 00:35:12,751
- How does it feel?
- It feels quite comfortable.
542
00:35:12,752 --> 00:35:15,288
And please, don't play
games with me, Mr. St. John.
543
00:35:15,289 --> 00:35:18,444
I've known what I wanted
for a very long time.
544
00:35:20,922 --> 00:35:23,822
You want one like that?
It's going to run you...
545
00:35:24,291 --> 00:35:28,291
- ...ten, eleven million bucks.
- An absurd sum, Mr. St. John.
546
00:35:28,390 --> 00:35:31,984
But the real absurdity is to spend
that kind of money and not get it.
547
00:35:31,985 --> 00:35:34,604
Now, you tell me,
if I pay you what you want,
548
00:35:34,605 --> 00:35:37,248
will you be able to give me
the amount of time I require...
549
00:35:37,249 --> 00:35:39,776
...or you'll be spread too thin
among your other candidates?
550
00:35:39,777 --> 00:35:43,247
You'll get all the time
you require, Mr. Cade.
551
00:35:47,829 --> 00:35:50,829
You do know that
if I take you on,
552
00:35:51,263 --> 00:35:52,895
I'll be in control.
553
00:35:53,045 --> 00:35:56,447
Just so we're clear,
that means strategy, budget--
554
00:35:56,448 --> 00:35:58,421
The process doesn't interest me,
Mr. St. John.
555
00:35:58,422 --> 00:36:01,664
What does is that you have
an 85% success rate.
556
00:36:01,665 --> 00:36:04,633
I will pay you to play
those percentages.
557
00:36:04,634 --> 00:36:08,834
My sole concern is my work
once I'm elected.
558
00:36:09,263 --> 00:36:11,263
Why should I take you on?
559
00:36:11,511 --> 00:36:14,200
Because some guy named Arnold
Billings got my phone number...
560
00:36:14,201 --> 00:36:16,439
- ...and got to me first?
- Because once I get in--
561
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,618
and I will, with your help
or with someone else's,
562
00:36:18,619 --> 00:36:21,353
I can accomplish
what has to be done.
563
00:36:21,354 --> 00:36:23,786
Change the policies that
are strangling this country.
564
00:36:23,787 --> 00:36:25,754
Now, I'm ready to begin.
565
00:36:25,860 --> 00:36:27,663
Are you with me?
566
00:36:28,752 --> 00:36:31,352
Where is Billings
in all this?
567
00:36:32,487 --> 00:36:35,328
Mr. Billings is a business
associate of mine.
568
00:36:35,329 --> 00:36:38,221
He handles public relations work
for some of my companies.
569
00:36:38,222 --> 00:36:41,122
He has no official position
in my campaign.
570
00:36:41,302 --> 00:36:44,474
He told me you were going to
line up with Sam on the issues.
571
00:36:44,475 --> 00:36:46,611
- Did he get that right?
- That's correct.
572
00:36:46,612 --> 00:36:50,612
Except for the solar energy bill,
I don't believe that approach is sound.
573
00:36:54,250 --> 00:36:56,513
No, no. You explain it to me.
574
00:36:56,613 --> 00:36:59,013
He's with you except
on solar energy.
575
00:36:59,188 --> 00:37:01,688
Like being with Gloria Steinem
except on women.
576
00:37:02,014 --> 00:37:03,295
I don't understand, Pete.
577
00:37:03,445 --> 00:37:05,612
You were never much interested
on how your clients...
578
00:37:05,613 --> 00:37:08,020
...stood on the issues before.
579
00:37:08,021 --> 00:37:10,521
- I am now.
- Why?
580
00:37:11,780 --> 00:37:13,780
He'd be replacing you.
581
00:37:14,466 --> 00:37:17,467
What's the big problem?
Take him on.
582
00:37:31,169 --> 00:37:32,669
Leonard...
583
00:37:33,438 --> 00:37:35,486
I want to cancel the
West Coast trip.
584
00:37:35,487 --> 00:37:38,303
We can get a stringer from L. A.
if we really need it, can't we?
585
00:37:38,304 --> 00:37:40,194
Okay.
586
00:37:40,338 --> 00:37:44,642
I want to take a look
into Sam Hastings.
587
00:37:45,607 --> 00:37:48,307
Right, you're friendly with him
and he's wife, right?
588
00:37:48,587 --> 00:37:50,131
Have you heard anything?
589
00:37:50,132 --> 00:37:53,011
- Nothing special, no, but I--
- Coordinate it with Manny.
590
00:37:53,012 --> 00:37:55,330
He's pulled a couple of people
from metro just to...
591
00:37:55,331 --> 00:37:57,391
...chase down the rumors.
592
00:37:57,596 --> 00:37:59,348
Have you heard the latest?
593
00:37:59,349 --> 00:38:01,249
He's got AIDS.
594
00:38:01,349 --> 00:38:03,651
Jesus, I love Washington!
595
00:38:07,584 --> 00:38:09,786
Thank you for
your note, Ellen.
596
00:38:10,111 --> 00:38:12,311
It meant a great deal to us,
it really did.
597
00:38:12,321 --> 00:38:14,255
I meant everything
I wrote in it.
598
00:38:14,256 --> 00:38:16,456
It's a great loss
for the country.
599
00:38:16,694 --> 00:38:19,314
Sam is what the Senate
is all about.
600
00:38:19,315 --> 00:38:20,594
Thank you.
601
00:38:23,406 --> 00:38:24,706
Claire!
602
00:38:25,470 --> 00:38:29,570
Claire! You're new home
is absolutely beautiful.
603
00:38:29,845 --> 00:38:32,512
- You've never been here before?
- No.
604
00:38:32,513 --> 00:38:35,866
Oh, I can't believe it.
Oh, I feel terrible!
605
00:38:35,967 --> 00:38:38,367
Claire, it's my fault.
606
00:38:38,526 --> 00:38:41,390
It's ridiculous, but,
when you get divorced...
607
00:38:41,391 --> 00:38:44,329
...you don't know where you stand
anymore with your old friends.
608
00:38:44,330 --> 00:38:48,327
You tend to avoid them in case
you make them feel awkward.
609
00:38:48,328 --> 00:38:51,312
You assume they're all
going to take sides.
610
00:38:51,313 --> 00:38:52,824
And I assumed--
611
00:38:52,825 --> 00:38:55,386
well, Sam and Pete
are so close...
612
00:38:56,901 --> 00:38:58,499
I really appreciate
your decision...
613
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:01,805
...to keep the details of the
illness a family matter.
614
00:39:03,714 --> 00:39:06,589
Well, it was very hard.
615
00:39:06,939 --> 00:39:10,014
Yes. Yes, I can imagine.
616
00:39:10,927 --> 00:39:13,327
Is Sam being treated here
or in Ohio?
617
00:39:14,261 --> 00:39:17,161
Well, that hasn't been
determined yet.
618
00:39:17,511 --> 00:39:19,730
And how are the boys
taking it?
619
00:39:19,731 --> 00:39:22,311
Oh, I am so proud of them.
620
00:39:23,145 --> 00:39:26,345
They have been so strong,
so good.
621
00:39:26,462 --> 00:39:29,139
I wouldn't have gotten through this
without those guys.
622
00:39:29,140 --> 00:39:31,497
And your mother,
how's she doing?
623
00:39:31,498 --> 00:39:32,812
Well,
624
00:39:33,462 --> 00:39:36,798
this thing's been
very hard on her.
625
00:39:37,035 --> 00:39:39,679
We talk to each other every night
on the phone and I--
626
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,323
- She's in Charleston, hm?
- No, no.
627
00:39:42,324 --> 00:39:45,343
She moved back to New Orleans
several years ago.
628
00:39:45,344 --> 00:39:46,544
Oh!
629
00:39:48,049 --> 00:39:49,849
Ralph, I need some help
on this Billings guy.
630
00:39:49,914 --> 00:39:51,231
Why's it this tough?
631
00:39:51,232 --> 00:39:53,956
How many top black lobbyists
can there be in Washington?
632
00:39:53,957 --> 00:39:55,410
Maybe his client list.
633
00:39:55,409 --> 00:39:57,400
Maybe if you pass by all
the probable data banks?
634
00:39:57,401 --> 00:39:58,754
I'd appreciate it.
635
00:39:58,755 --> 00:40:01,353
If they're international
we could try wire transfers.
636
00:40:01,354 --> 00:40:02,983
But don't hold your breath.
637
00:40:02,984 --> 00:40:05,108
Ever since those kids started
breaking into everything,
638
00:40:05,109 --> 00:40:07,609
everyone's gotten meshugah
on access codes.
639
00:40:07,869 --> 00:40:10,669
Maybe if you take a run by
all the standard industry stuff.
640
00:40:10,740 --> 00:40:14,380
Billings Associates's a privately held
corporation. That won't help.
641
00:40:14,381 --> 00:40:16,381
Billings is the only
listed officer.
642
00:40:19,316 --> 00:40:21,316
You need this by when?
643
00:40:21,445 --> 00:40:23,345
As soon as possible.
644
00:40:24,405 --> 00:40:26,370
I'm flying down to South America
in 24 hours.
645
00:40:26,371 --> 00:40:28,055
I'm in New Mexico the next
couple of days,
646
00:40:28,056 --> 00:40:29,671
Ohio the rest of the week.
647
00:40:29,902 --> 00:40:33,902
- I know you're busy as hell--
- Have a safe trip. Go.
648
00:40:34,093 --> 00:40:35,393
Pete!
649
00:40:35,485 --> 00:40:37,385
How's the South American guy doing?
650
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:39,181
He's going to take it.
651
00:42:27,915 --> 00:42:30,815
My husband felt
such shame, you see.
652
00:42:32,064 --> 00:42:34,864
No one in his family, not one,
653
00:42:35,012 --> 00:42:38,612
with all their money,
ever offered to help us out.
654
00:42:39,241 --> 00:42:41,741
They just washed their hands,
655
00:42:42,322 --> 00:42:44,526
every single one of them.
656
00:42:45,831 --> 00:42:47,831
Well, except once...
657
00:42:48,937 --> 00:42:51,979
...when Claire was getting ready
to go to college,
658
00:42:51,980 --> 00:42:55,207
I had a call from her grandfather,
that he wanted to know...
659
00:42:55,208 --> 00:42:58,408
...if Claire needed any money
for her education.
660
00:42:58,990 --> 00:43:01,362
I told him what to do
with his money.
661
00:43:02,589 --> 00:43:05,856
I told him that Claire
was valedictorian...
662
00:43:05,857 --> 00:43:08,361
...and we'd get along somehow.
663
00:43:09,417 --> 00:43:11,817
Well, he passed away.
664
00:43:12,452 --> 00:43:13,921
I don't remember,
665
00:43:13,971 --> 00:43:16,852
I guess it was several years later.
666
00:43:18,549 --> 00:43:20,549
I did not go to the funeral.
667
00:43:21,692 --> 00:43:25,492
But I did say a prayer
for his soul.
668
00:43:59,404 --> 00:44:01,404
- You okay?
- Yeah.
669
00:44:01,873 --> 00:44:03,473
Go get'em, tiger.
670
00:44:03,532 --> 00:44:05,432
Okay, take him back.
- Okay, let's go.
671
00:44:13,707 --> 00:44:15,007
Okay.
672
00:44:18,214 --> 00:44:19,814
It looks good from here.
673
00:44:20,273 --> 00:44:21,563
Yeah, we can see
the whole thing.
674
00:44:21,564 --> 00:44:23,278
You about 50 feet?
675
00:44:23,279 --> 00:44:24,915
A little less.
676
00:44:25,558 --> 00:44:27,358
Stand by.
Eddie, can you read me?
677
00:44:27,401 --> 00:44:28,701
Yeah, go ahead.
678
00:44:28,958 --> 00:44:30,558
You got them lined up yet?
679
00:44:30,627 --> 00:44:33,377
Yeah, we finally got'em
but you better hurry up.
680
00:44:34,483 --> 00:44:37,483
Okay, I wanna stay clear
on channel 1.
681
00:44:37,647 --> 00:44:40,647
And I want to hear if there's
any troubles, right now!
682
00:44:41,484 --> 00:44:43,272
Martha, I want to get
a rough time on this,
683
00:44:43,273 --> 00:44:45,678
so, start reading as soon as
the wagons go, okay?
684
00:44:46,738 --> 00:44:49,442
Okay... roll tape!
685
00:44:49,717 --> 00:44:51,417
Let me know when you got speed.
686
00:44:52,644 --> 00:44:54,144
Speed!
687
00:44:54,318 --> 00:44:55,818
Background action!
688
00:44:56,064 --> 00:44:57,364
Cue Wallace!
689
00:44:57,435 --> 00:45:00,735
New Mexico is a special land,
blessed with mountains, deserts,
690
00:45:00,827 --> 00:45:03,327
clean air and pure waters.
691
00:45:03,384 --> 00:45:05,084
But besides her natural resources,
692
00:45:05,202 --> 00:45:07,702
our state has been blessed
with its human resources,
693
00:45:07,787 --> 00:45:11,587
from the proud Apache and Navajo tribes
who first hunted and planted here,
694
00:45:11,810 --> 00:45:14,514
to our long history of people
who have journeyed here.
695
00:45:14,593 --> 00:45:17,412
Whether they came from Mexico,
or Europe or Asia...
696
00:45:17,413 --> 00:45:18,913
...or other parts
of this country,
697
00:45:19,050 --> 00:45:20,850
they all shared
a common dream:
698
00:45:20,988 --> 00:45:23,270
to live in a land where
their opportunities were limited...
699
00:45:23,271 --> 00:45:25,071
...only by their own vision...
700
00:45:25,131 --> 00:45:27,307
and to make this special place
even better...
701
00:45:27,308 --> 00:45:29,708
...for their own children
and other generations.
702
00:45:29,882 --> 00:45:32,482
We are surely blessed
by that heritage.
703
00:45:32,553 --> 00:45:36,153
Wallace Furman believes
that pioneer spirit is still alive.
704
00:45:40,035 --> 00:45:43,635
Wallace Furman,
a governor we can trust.
705
00:45:55,779 --> 00:45:57,779
Back to one.
706
00:45:58,270 --> 00:46:00,470
Back to number one.
Take it back.
707
00:46:00,535 --> 00:46:02,435
Eddie, take them back
to number one.
708
00:46:02,564 --> 00:46:04,566
Back to number one,
line it all up again!
709
00:46:05,209 --> 00:46:07,509
It'll be close to an hour, Pete.
710
00:46:07,701 --> 00:46:09,383
We're not gonna have
enough light left.
711
00:46:09,384 --> 00:46:12,594
- 50,000! We'll come back tomorrow!
- Weather prediction's bad for tomorrow!
712
00:46:12,658 --> 00:46:14,458
Hold it a second, everybody.
713
00:46:14,652 --> 00:46:16,852
You want us back
at number one, Pete?
714
00:46:17,833 --> 00:46:19,008
Wait.
715
00:46:20,158 --> 00:46:21,933
Wait a minute.
716
00:46:22,716 --> 00:46:24,816
Move it, move it!
Back it up.
717
00:46:25,739 --> 00:46:28,743
Back! Move on back!
Do you hear me?
718
00:46:30,443 --> 00:46:32,943
Tommy, roll it up to
where the schmuck fell off.
719
00:46:38,064 --> 00:46:39,764
Okay, take it back.
720
00:46:40,634 --> 00:46:42,634
Back, back, back,
back, back...
721
00:46:43,769 --> 00:46:46,069
Back... back...
OK, now forward.
722
00:46:46,283 --> 00:46:48,083
Slowly, very slow...
723
00:46:49,094 --> 00:46:50,894
Slow, slow...
724
00:46:51,147 --> 00:46:52,447
...slow...
725
00:46:52,741 --> 00:46:53,884
...slow...
726
00:46:54,034 --> 00:46:55,342
...freeze!
727
00:46:57,730 --> 00:47:00,530
Okay, mark it.
Take it back to the top.
728
00:47:10,022 --> 00:47:12,722
Okay, forward. Real time.
729
00:47:14,054 --> 00:47:17,555
New Mexico is a special land,
blessed with mountains, deserts,
730
00:47:17,643 --> 00:47:20,245
clean air and pure waters.
731
00:47:20,348 --> 00:47:22,048
But besides her natural resources,
732
00:47:22,186 --> 00:47:24,686
our state has been blessed
with its human resources,
733
00:47:24,830 --> 00:47:28,630
from the proud Apache and Navajo tribes
who first hunted and planted here,
734
00:47:28,746 --> 00:47:31,446
to our long history of people
who have journeyed here.
735
00:47:31,504 --> 00:47:34,104
Whether they came from Mexico,
or Europe or Asia...
736
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:35,800
...or other parts of this country,
737
00:47:35,884 --> 00:47:37,884
they all shared a common dream:
738
00:47:37,937 --> 00:47:40,152
to live in a land where
their opportunities were limited...
739
00:47:40,153 --> 00:47:41,753
...only by their own vision...
740
00:47:41,985 --> 00:47:44,089
and to make this special place
even better...
741
00:47:44,175 --> 00:47:46,575
...for their own children
and other generations.
742
00:47:46,850 --> 00:47:49,150
We are surely blessed
by that heritage.
743
00:47:49,464 --> 00:47:52,864
Wallace Furman believes
that pioneer spirit is still alive!
744
00:47:53,039 --> 00:47:55,439
Wallace Furman,
a governor we can trust.
745
00:47:56,659 --> 00:47:58,059
Let's go home.
746
00:48:13,161 --> 00:48:15,961
What's overriding is that
we pinpoint the audience.
747
00:48:16,188 --> 00:48:18,888
Tomorrow morning I want to go
with TV news coverage.
748
00:48:18,991 --> 00:48:20,791
But, every time we hit
a new medium market,
749
00:48:20,853 --> 00:48:24,157
we'll have live remotes set up
for the noon or 6:00.
750
00:48:24,158 --> 00:48:25,605
Local anchors don't know shit--
751
00:48:25,606 --> 00:48:27,427
even less than reporters.
This way we'll be able to give...
752
00:48:27,428 --> 00:48:29,128
- ...our message straight--
- Hold it, hold it.
753
00:48:29,237 --> 00:48:31,437
On the state level, a new entry
into the Senate race...
754
00:48:31,557 --> 00:48:33,561
...for the seat of Sam Hastings.
755
00:48:33,916 --> 00:48:37,416
Phillip Aarons, an Oberlin College
History professor, who's known...
756
00:48:37,543 --> 00:48:41,143
...for his involvement in antinuclear
and state environmental causes,
757
00:48:41,226 --> 00:48:42,926
called a news conference
this morning...
758
00:48:43,017 --> 00:48:45,717
...to announce his candidacy
as an independent.
759
00:48:47,161 --> 00:48:49,461
I am announcing my candidacy...
760
00:48:49,697 --> 00:48:53,097
...as an alternative, and
perhaps an answer,
761
00:48:53,242 --> 00:48:56,699
...to the regressive,
short-sighted policies of...
762
00:48:56,849 --> 00:48:59,746
...Mr. Westbrook and Mr. Cade.
763
00:49:04,195 --> 00:49:08,395
I, along with many other
people of Ohio,
764
00:49:08,710 --> 00:49:12,210
was particularly disappointed
by Mr. Cade's decision...
765
00:49:13,094 --> 00:49:17,094
...not to follow the example
set by Senator Hastings...
766
00:49:17,263 --> 00:49:19,963
...in the national leadership
of the development of...
767
00:49:20,041 --> 00:49:24,245
...renewable non-polluting energy
offered by solar generation.
768
00:49:28,545 --> 00:49:31,427
I intend to use this campaign
as a sounding board...
769
00:49:31,428 --> 00:49:33,683
...to educate the people of Ohio...
770
00:49:34,392 --> 00:49:38,492
...and, more importantly,
the politicians of Ohio,
771
00:49:39,678 --> 00:49:43,278
as to certain facts having to do
with our environment.
772
00:49:47,278 --> 00:49:48,882
Pardon me.
773
00:49:50,412 --> 00:49:52,412
We can... no longer--
774
00:49:55,357 --> 00:49:57,357
What the hell does that mean?
775
00:50:01,274 --> 00:50:02,774
Nothing. Not a damn thing.
776
00:50:02,994 --> 00:50:05,594
He'll make a little noise,
feel real good, and he'll get his...
777
00:50:05,695 --> 00:50:08,456
...4% from the veggies
and save-the-whalers.
778
00:50:08,457 --> 00:50:11,085
He's not going to hurt us.
They'll hate your guts anyway.
779
00:50:11,086 --> 00:50:13,590
But-- there is something.
780
00:50:15,134 --> 00:50:18,134
Our first poll's showing
a problem with...
781
00:50:18,197 --> 00:50:20,597
...college-educated women
21 to 35.
782
00:50:20,724 --> 00:50:23,124
There's something about you
they don't trust.
783
00:50:28,433 --> 00:50:31,433
- How are you today, Mr. Billings?
- Just fine, thank you.
784
00:50:54,907 --> 00:50:56,907
Are you expecting a print-out
from Ralph?
785
00:50:57,030 --> 00:50:58,430
Yeah, I sure am.
786
00:51:15,574 --> 00:51:17,974
It must've gotten caught
in the printer.
787
00:51:23,675 --> 00:51:25,437
Have Ralph send me
another one.
788
00:51:56,125 --> 00:51:57,455
Governor?
789
00:51:57,743 --> 00:51:59,143
Hello, Pete.
790
00:51:59,238 --> 00:52:01,138
I think we gotta talk about
the death penalty thing.
791
00:52:01,245 --> 00:52:03,245
Absolutely not.
That is not negotiable.
792
00:52:03,351 --> 00:52:05,851
I'm not talking about
backing down.
793
00:52:05,963 --> 00:52:07,863
But tell me this:
where does it say...
794
00:52:07,864 --> 00:52:09,526
...just because you gotta follow
your conscience...
795
00:52:09,527 --> 00:52:11,448
...we gotta stand still
and get kicked?
796
00:52:11,449 --> 00:52:13,211
Any thoughts on the subject?
797
00:52:13,212 --> 00:52:15,355
Yes, I do. One.
Frank Coleco.
798
00:52:15,446 --> 00:52:18,014
For Christ sakes.
The man is a neanderthal!
799
00:52:18,015 --> 00:52:20,015
So what?
He's our neanderthal, isn't he?
800
00:52:20,145 --> 00:52:23,458
He happens to be speaking for
a constituency we could use.
801
00:52:23,459 --> 00:52:26,585
- Or you wanna argue about that?
- You ever actually heard him?
802
00:52:26,586 --> 00:52:28,586
In the State House, on the floor,
803
00:52:28,683 --> 00:52:31,536
he said he'd pull the switch and then
drive home and eat a pizza.
804
00:52:31,537 --> 00:52:33,637
This is very, very simple.
805
00:52:33,926 --> 00:52:37,136
He crosses the line, endorses
the opposition, we start to bleed.
806
00:52:37,137 --> 00:52:38,271
Come on, Pete!
807
00:52:38,272 --> 00:52:40,272
You got any guarantees he won't?
808
00:52:40,634 --> 00:52:43,738
I put out a wire.
What do I hear?
809
00:52:44,395 --> 00:52:47,787
It turns out the Senator's
next greatest passion,
810
00:52:47,788 --> 00:52:50,488
next to frying convicts,
is high school football,
811
00:52:50,702 --> 00:52:52,967
specifically, Eagle Lake High,
812
00:52:52,968 --> 00:52:55,468
where Frank Jr. happens to be
starting left tackle.
813
00:52:56,112 --> 00:52:58,159
He's so proud of the kid
he goes out and buys him...
814
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:01,438
...a brand-new Dodge pick-up.
Then, to make it really special,
815
00:53:01,439 --> 00:53:04,663
he calls the Governor's assistant...
816
00:53:04,664 --> 00:53:07,178
...for a little help
in getting plate nbr. 76,
817
00:53:07,179 --> 00:53:08,489
Frank Jr.'s football number.
818
00:53:08,490 --> 00:53:11,460
- You're way out of line, pal.
- Coleco calls once.
819
00:53:11,461 --> 00:53:13,591
He can't get through.
He leaves a message.
820
00:53:13,642 --> 00:53:17,227
He calls back again. The Governor's
assistant is still in conference.
821
00:53:17,228 --> 00:53:20,625
His secretary calls back
two days later...
822
00:53:20,626 --> 00:53:24,554
...and says his request for
plate 76 will be considered!
823
00:53:24,555 --> 00:53:26,055
What is the thought there?
824
00:53:26,197 --> 00:53:28,821
You're turning a philosophical
disagreement into a vendetta?
825
00:53:28,822 --> 00:53:30,287
Our office has never delivered--
826
00:53:30,288 --> 00:53:33,292
Just get him the goddamn plate,
all right?!
827
00:54:00,732 --> 00:54:03,532
Well, as you know, I've lived
in this state all my life.
828
00:54:03,659 --> 00:54:05,459
And I've got
a lot of confidence...
829
00:54:05,460 --> 00:54:08,047
...in the plain horse sense
of the voters of New Mexico.
830
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:11,471
That they'll be able to see
the real issues of this campaign,
831
00:54:11,472 --> 00:54:15,072
who has the experience and
the proven ability to lead...
832
00:54:15,393 --> 00:54:18,093
...and that we simply
cannot afford...
833
00:54:18,241 --> 00:54:21,941
...a governor who needs
on-the-job training.
834
00:54:22,168 --> 00:54:24,472
Thank you very much, ladies and
gentlemen. Pardon me.
835
00:54:25,736 --> 00:54:27,736
Hi there!
Thanks, people. Thanks.
836
00:54:27,884 --> 00:54:29,884
Right! Hey, you're looking good
over there!
837
00:54:30,126 --> 00:54:31,335
That's good, Frank.
838
00:54:31,485 --> 00:54:33,126
- Real good, Frank.
- I'm worried, Will.
839
00:54:33,254 --> 00:54:35,254
Oh, there's nothing to worry about.
840
00:54:35,324 --> 00:54:38,013
- He's starting to move.
- Well, of course he is.
841
00:54:38,014 --> 00:54:40,786
He started so far down
he got no place to go but up.
842
00:54:40,787 --> 00:54:43,387
But still, he's coming up
in the poll.
843
00:54:43,625 --> 00:54:47,702
Look, if can't beat some geek,
maybe we don't deserve to win.
844
00:54:47,703 --> 00:54:48,835
You're going to ice him, Frank.
845
00:54:48,985 --> 00:54:50,605
Hi, there! How are you?
846
00:54:50,994 --> 00:54:52,794
- You want him to hold?
Excuse me...
847
00:54:52,886 --> 00:54:54,473
- One minute.
What do you think of someone...
848
00:54:54,474 --> 00:54:57,084
...coming from New Mexico
to be governor of New York?
849
00:54:57,167 --> 00:55:00,467
What? Is this a joke?
You're not serious, are you?
850
00:55:00,695 --> 00:55:02,892
And what about you, ma'am?
What do you think of someone...
851
00:55:02,893 --> 00:55:05,486
...coming from New Mexico
to be governor of New York?
852
00:55:05,487 --> 00:55:07,587
Utterly preposterous, young man.
853
00:55:07,696 --> 00:55:09,696
Not worthy of discussion.
854
00:55:10,048 --> 00:55:11,485
From New Mexico?
855
00:55:11,486 --> 00:55:14,130
Is this some kind of
affirmative action thing?
856
00:55:14,342 --> 00:55:16,742
A cow-boy, governor of New York?
857
00:55:16,927 --> 00:55:19,327
What do I think of a cow-boy
governor of New York?
858
00:55:19,732 --> 00:55:21,732
C'mon, will you? Gee...
859
00:55:22,412 --> 00:55:24,412
Crazy. Stupid!
860
00:55:25,321 --> 00:55:27,621
Wilfred, you are great.
McKusker...
861
00:55:27,694 --> 00:55:29,894
...from New Mexico
for New Mexico.
862
00:55:30,490 --> 00:55:33,190
You didn't have a date or anything
tonight, did you?
863
00:55:33,891 --> 00:55:35,791
Not anymore.
864
00:55:39,044 --> 00:55:40,644
Oh, wow.
865
00:55:43,693 --> 00:55:45,693
Wallace! How're you doing?
866
00:55:47,862 --> 00:55:50,662
Yeah, yeah. I just saw it.
It was terrific, huh?
867
00:55:52,164 --> 00:55:54,064
Yeah, Wallace...
868
00:55:54,232 --> 00:55:56,932
Wallace-- look--
Stop worrying, Wallace.
869
00:55:57,037 --> 00:55:59,837
We'll be making a rebuttal
commercial tonight.
870
00:56:07,901 --> 00:56:09,801
Yeah, say it again.
871
00:56:24,735 --> 00:56:26,735
Listen, can I call you
right back?
872
00:56:27,330 --> 00:56:29,434
Yeah, right. Thanks.
873
00:57:06,193 --> 00:57:07,793
Helen?
874
00:57:13,697 --> 00:57:16,097
I want you to call Jack Rosack.
875
00:57:16,703 --> 00:57:20,531
I want him to do a sweep of the
offices, studios, everything.
876
00:57:20,532 --> 00:57:22,532
- Right away?
- Right away.
877
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:26,480
- I want him to do the apartment, too.
- The apartment-- okay, all right.
878
00:57:30,831 --> 00:57:32,831
...Wallace Furman can give
our state.
879
00:57:33,630 --> 00:57:35,695
He didn't HAVE to come here.
880
00:57:35,696 --> 00:57:37,690
He WANTED to.
881
00:57:37,691 --> 00:57:39,591
Wallace Furman for governor.
882
00:57:39,643 --> 00:57:42,243
A new vision for New Mexico.
883
00:57:43,634 --> 00:57:46,734
- Is that a buy, Pete?
- That's it.
884
00:57:46,839 --> 00:57:50,139
- I can go home now?
- Let's go home!
885
00:57:54,738 --> 00:57:58,338
This is the upper East side
of New York.
886
00:57:59,028 --> 00:58:01,428
This is Monte Carlo.
887
00:58:01,558 --> 00:58:04,458
This is Beverly Hills,
California.
888
00:58:04,811 --> 00:58:08,377
Wallace Furman could have lived
in any of these places.
889
00:58:08,378 --> 00:58:11,678
Instead, he chose to live
in New Mexico.
890
00:58:12,444 --> 00:58:16,188
Not because it was
more exciting or luxurious,
891
00:58:16,189 --> 00:58:19,008
but because,
unlike Monte Carlo...
892
00:58:19,258 --> 00:58:20,789
...or Beverly Hills,
893
00:58:20,854 --> 00:58:23,154
it was a place that needed help,
894
00:58:23,512 --> 00:58:26,007
needed the energy
and the new leadership...
895
00:58:26,008 --> 00:58:28,808
...that Wallace Furman
can give our state.
896
00:58:28,953 --> 00:58:31,014
He didn't HAVE to come here.
897
00:58:31,015 --> 00:58:32,983
He WANTED to.
898
00:58:32,984 --> 00:58:35,066
Wallace Furman for governor.
899
00:58:35,116 --> 00:58:37,616
A new vision for New Mexico.
900
00:58:46,976 --> 00:58:48,976
What about the photo session?
901
00:58:59,147 --> 00:59:01,047
Syd! Syd!
902
00:59:01,128 --> 00:59:03,128
I've got Pete on the line.
903
00:59:03,392 --> 00:59:05,492
The newspaper you wanted me
to research?
904
00:59:11,957 --> 00:59:14,259
We just got the overnights,
we stopped the erosion.
905
00:59:14,260 --> 00:59:16,860
That carpetbagger thing
is a dead issue.
906
00:59:17,017 --> 00:59:20,497
I know you don't need to hear this,
but that mansion spot was brilliant.
907
00:59:20,643 --> 00:59:23,210
Yeah, that was great.
Look, I'm going to be here one...
908
00:59:23,211 --> 00:59:25,411
...maybe two more days,
and then back to New York.
909
00:59:25,503 --> 00:59:26,913
I want to go over this stuff
that Mitch sent,
910
00:59:26,914 --> 00:59:29,514
then we have to talk about
the rehearsal for the debate.
911
00:59:30,687 --> 00:59:33,687
Oh, almost forgot
the best part. Listen.
912
00:59:34,855 --> 00:59:36,855
The story going around
down there is that...
913
00:59:37,060 --> 00:59:39,560
...McKusker got the new numbers...
914
00:59:39,703 --> 00:59:41,803
...and he panicked.
915
00:59:41,938 --> 00:59:45,538
I have it from two sources
that he fired Wilfred Buckley...
916
00:59:45,639 --> 00:59:47,842
...and he hired John Dietrich.
917
00:59:50,683 --> 00:59:52,683
Isn't that incredible?
918
01:00:04,523 --> 01:00:06,323
Jerome.
919
01:00:08,935 --> 01:00:10,635
Yeah, Billings?
920
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,360
- He's doing everything he should?
- Mm-hmm.
921
01:00:16,561 --> 01:00:18,639
- The quality is...?
- Well, you've seen it.
922
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:20,840
The polling, the ads.
First rate.
923
01:00:23,493 --> 01:00:25,193
I don't know...
924
01:00:29,994 --> 01:00:31,994
Baggage will arrive
at the low level.
925
01:00:32,104 --> 01:00:35,904
Buses for downtown Cleveland
are available outside main hall.
926
01:00:36,104 --> 01:00:38,108
Thanks for meeting me, Pete.
927
01:00:38,264 --> 01:00:40,658
I thought you'd get out
of all the travelling this year.
928
01:00:40,659 --> 01:00:42,459
So did I!
929
01:00:43,041 --> 01:00:46,441
- Spoken to Sam recently?
- Last week.
930
01:00:46,655 --> 01:00:48,655
Talked about his illness?
931
01:00:49,539 --> 01:00:51,239
Off the record.
932
01:00:52,018 --> 01:00:53,518
Not much.
933
01:00:53,821 --> 01:00:55,624
Mostly about whether or not
he's going to stay in Washington...
934
01:00:55,625 --> 01:00:57,539
...and practice law...
935
01:00:57,540 --> 01:00:59,540
...or go back to Ohio.
936
01:01:00,453 --> 01:01:02,253
I don't think he's ill.
937
01:01:02,749 --> 01:01:04,350
Is that so?
938
01:01:06,117 --> 01:01:07,607
I'm curious,
939
01:01:07,757 --> 01:01:12,017
how much do you actually know
about Sam? Financially, I mean.
940
01:01:12,850 --> 01:01:15,650
He's never had that much.
It's just his salary.
941
01:01:15,977 --> 01:01:17,777
And Claire?
942
01:01:18,145 --> 01:01:20,145
Her family's got dough.
943
01:01:20,691 --> 01:01:22,384
Yes, but she never
got any, did she?
944
01:01:22,385 --> 01:01:23,885
Her father blew his share.
945
01:01:24,016 --> 01:01:25,671
Did you know
she needed scolarships...
946
01:01:25,672 --> 01:01:28,076
- ...to get through college?
- You've been busy.
947
01:01:28,341 --> 01:01:29,641
Pete...
948
01:01:35,749 --> 01:01:38,449
How many times have you been
to their house?
949
01:01:38,594 --> 01:01:41,894
Have you ever wondered
how they carried that place?
950
01:01:43,243 --> 01:01:46,692
Look, that house's gotta be worth
at least $600,000.
951
01:01:46,693 --> 01:01:49,293
The mortgage is under $200,000.
952
01:01:49,702 --> 01:01:51,878
I know they didn't get
anything like that...
953
01:01:51,879 --> 01:01:54,383
...when they sold the other house
in Virginia.
954
01:01:55,236 --> 01:01:59,236
Have you ever noticed
the furniture? The antiques?
955
01:01:59,762 --> 01:02:03,066
- Claire paid for those, all in cash.
- What are you trying to tell me?
956
01:02:03,067 --> 01:02:04,967
That Sam's on the take?
Is that it?
957
01:02:05,098 --> 01:02:07,564
Is that the line that'd let you
win the Snoop-Of-The-Year award?
958
01:02:07,565 --> 01:02:10,359
Cause if it is, you've got
this one little problem.
959
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,660
Why's he taking a walk?
960
01:02:12,852 --> 01:02:14,537
I don't have the story yet.
961
01:02:14,538 --> 01:02:16,652
I don't know why he's leaving.
962
01:02:17,864 --> 01:02:20,465
Pete, Sam is your friend.
963
01:02:21,079 --> 01:02:22,879
If you're--
Any bad judgement--
964
01:02:22,981 --> 01:02:26,181
You're talking to me, remember?
965
01:02:26,324 --> 01:02:28,027
You're praying so hard
he's fucked up,
966
01:02:28,028 --> 01:02:30,724
you're salivating.
You're f--
967
01:02:33,102 --> 01:02:35,602
You're fucked up. Not him.
968
01:02:37,545 --> 01:02:39,545
You're a fuck-up.
969
01:02:52,795 --> 01:02:54,895
Look, there's a lot of stuff
flying around Washington...
970
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,024
...about why you're leaving.
971
01:02:57,281 --> 01:02:59,176
About how you can afford
all those antiques,
972
01:02:59,177 --> 01:03:01,377
about buying the new house.
973
01:03:04,154 --> 01:03:05,954
As a friend...
974
01:03:06,555 --> 01:03:09,046
...I appreciate you
telling me that, Pete.
975
01:03:11,020 --> 01:03:13,320
I love my job.
976
01:03:14,048 --> 01:03:16,448
A man couldn't ask
for a better one.
977
01:03:17,702 --> 01:03:20,655
But it's precisely because of
crap like that...
978
01:03:20,656 --> 01:03:22,756
...I'm glad I'm getting out.
979
01:03:23,238 --> 01:03:26,638
Those things are Claire's.
She collects them.
980
01:03:27,156 --> 01:03:29,556
The money's from her inheritance.
981
01:05:10,184 --> 01:05:11,630
Here you are, Mr. St. John.
982
01:05:11,631 --> 01:05:13,388
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
983
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:49,564
You were right.
I shouldn't have done that.
984
01:05:49,565 --> 01:05:51,365
It was stupid.
985
01:05:51,641 --> 01:05:55,041
I just wanted you to know
that I... recognize that.
986
01:05:55,171 --> 01:05:56,671
So...
987
01:05:57,857 --> 01:06:00,057
Maybe, buy you a drink?
988
01:06:12,386 --> 01:06:14,586
How'd you know
I'd be here tonight?
989
01:06:15,397 --> 01:06:17,670
Well, the receptionist said
you hadn't checked out,
990
01:06:17,671 --> 01:06:21,471
and your office in New York said
you weren't due until tomorrow and...
991
01:06:29,487 --> 01:06:31,187
I saw Sam.
992
01:06:32,659 --> 01:06:34,059
Oh.
993
01:06:35,726 --> 01:06:37,564
You knew I would. That's why
you've been camping...
994
01:06:37,565 --> 01:06:39,551
...out here all night.
995
01:06:39,552 --> 01:06:43,152
It's all right, it's okay.
You're good. You're real good.
996
01:06:43,738 --> 01:06:46,138
I mean, on that
we've always agreed.
997
01:06:54,071 --> 01:06:56,371
I'm going to tell you
what Sam said.
998
01:07:01,542 --> 01:07:04,742
He said the money came
from her inheritance.
999
01:07:15,057 --> 01:07:16,957
Christ, he lied to me.
1000
01:07:19,611 --> 01:07:21,702
For a politician, you'd think
he'd be pretty good.
1001
01:07:21,703 --> 01:07:23,903
He was so fucking bad.
1002
01:07:27,474 --> 01:07:29,974
You've been lied to before.
1003
01:07:33,114 --> 01:07:35,314
Oh, yeah, right. I forgot.
1004
01:07:36,211 --> 01:07:38,612
Are you going to hold that
over me forever?
1005
01:07:38,712 --> 01:07:42,112
Good old Saint Pete, who never
told a lie to his wife.
1006
01:07:42,624 --> 01:07:44,126
You never asked.
1007
01:07:44,190 --> 01:07:45,890
Well, I'm asking now!
1008
01:07:46,299 --> 01:07:48,299
How many?
1009
01:07:49,885 --> 01:07:51,385
Times or women?
1010
01:07:51,510 --> 01:07:53,910
Oh, let's keep this
to one night. Women.
1011
01:08:06,166 --> 01:08:09,370
All right, let's set
the history straight here.
1012
01:08:12,215 --> 01:08:15,415
Towards the end, you and I were close
if we were in the same time zone.
1013
01:08:21,970 --> 01:08:23,570
You got any idea
what it's like...
1014
01:08:23,571 --> 01:08:25,951
...to spend ten days
massaging some poll?
1015
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,680
And wind up at 1:00 a.m.
in some bar in Cleveland...
1016
01:08:31,104 --> 01:08:33,808
...and notice some lady
across the room...
1017
01:08:33,919 --> 01:08:36,119
...with a lot of hair
on her chin?
1018
01:08:37,608 --> 01:08:39,808
Yes, I have an idea.
1019
01:08:40,229 --> 01:08:42,929
It must be like chasing a story
for a week and a half,
1020
01:08:43,001 --> 01:08:44,601
getting nothing but
doors slammed in your face...
1021
01:08:44,912 --> 01:08:48,777
...and ending up in some bar
in the Ramada Inn in Akron,
1022
01:08:48,778 --> 01:08:50,990
next to a guy with a clean shirt,
1023
01:08:51,140 --> 01:08:53,778
whose hands don't sweat?
1024
01:08:57,801 --> 01:08:59,402
No.
1025
01:09:00,044 --> 01:09:02,044
Nothing like that at all.
1026
01:09:26,192 --> 01:09:28,692
Well, they're now
in his room, fucking.
1027
01:09:29,135 --> 01:09:31,435
So what? They used to be married.
1028
01:09:33,163 --> 01:09:35,163
Look, what has he actually done?
1029
01:09:35,641 --> 01:09:38,641
He went to see Hastings.
He's the best friend he's got.
1030
01:09:38,721 --> 01:09:40,619
We know he run a check on me.
1031
01:09:40,620 --> 01:09:42,847
You put him in touch with me,
so, he run a check on you.
1032
01:09:42,848 --> 01:09:44,278
Now, he's screwing
his ex-wife.
1033
01:09:44,327 --> 01:09:46,373
Uh, she's a problem.
I don't care how you cut it.
1034
01:09:46,374 --> 01:09:49,149
Trip to New Orleans,
a session with Hastings wife--
1035
01:09:49,150 --> 01:09:50,778
I can't help but
find that troubling.
1036
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,540
All right, Billings, what are you
going to do about it?
1037
01:10:07,917 --> 01:10:09,617
- Yeah.
- Breakfast, sir.
1038
01:10:09,624 --> 01:10:11,324
Okay
1039
01:10:28,471 --> 01:10:30,871
- Didn't you order Canadian bacon?
- Uh-huh
1040
01:10:31,667 --> 01:10:33,667
Didn't bring it.
1041
01:10:47,337 --> 01:10:49,037
...it comes!
1042
01:10:49,139 --> 01:10:52,739
Television's most exciting hour
of fantastic prizes!
1043
01:10:53,127 --> 01:10:56,727
The fabulous 60-minute
"Price is Right"!
1044
01:10:58,576 --> 01:11:00,376
Tammy Garland!
1045
01:11:01,029 --> 01:11:03,033
Come on down!
1046
01:11:07,795 --> 01:11:10,795
Wally...!
There's a tap on the phone.
1047
01:11:11,674 --> 01:11:14,374
My office phone too.
I found a bug.
1048
01:11:14,759 --> 01:11:16,259
Who?
1049
01:11:16,816 --> 01:11:18,816
I'm not sure.
1050
01:11:21,288 --> 01:11:23,088
I don't know.
1051
01:11:24,708 --> 01:11:26,508
Arnold Billings.
1052
01:11:27,021 --> 01:11:28,825
Ever heard of him?
1053
01:11:29,542 --> 01:11:32,642
He works out of Washington,
does some kind of corporate PR.
1054
01:11:32,827 --> 01:11:34,527
But, why?
1055
01:11:37,635 --> 01:11:39,635
I checked him out.
1056
01:11:41,167 --> 01:11:43,367
This is connected with Sam?
1057
01:11:46,245 --> 01:11:47,745
Sam says no.
1058
01:12:02,637 --> 01:12:05,037
Andrea's on the line.
Today's poll is worse.
1059
01:12:07,078 --> 01:12:09,244
The shift is starting to build.
The feedback says...
1060
01:12:09,245 --> 01:12:11,845
...it's coming from those
family image spots.
1061
01:12:11,936 --> 01:12:13,836
A man called just before
it's out of control.
1062
01:12:14,113 --> 01:12:16,476
He says the last couple of days
have been total saturation...
1063
01:12:16,477 --> 01:12:17,880
Hey, Mom.
1064
01:12:20,223 --> 01:12:22,223
Okay, get the voice.
1065
01:12:22,435 --> 01:12:25,623
Check the room 44, I think
he's doing a new Pepsi spot.
1066
01:12:25,624 --> 01:12:28,024
Tell him to be
at the studio at 11:00.
1067
01:12:29,147 --> 01:12:31,147
And I want you to go
to the archives.
1068
01:12:31,405 --> 01:12:34,805
Jan shot some cover footage
some time last year.
1069
01:12:34,931 --> 01:12:38,731
Somewhere in the middle of that
there's about 10 seconds...
1070
01:12:39,532 --> 01:12:41,561
...of some kid that looks like
Ricky Schroeder that...
1071
01:12:41,562 --> 01:12:43,766
...runs up to her and hugs her.
1072
01:12:44,694 --> 01:12:47,386
If you have some trouble
finding that, ask Phil.
1073
01:12:47,387 --> 01:12:49,387
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
1074
01:13:01,215 --> 01:13:02,308
Governor!
1075
01:13:02,458 --> 01:13:04,770
Word here is you've missed the cut
for Mother Of The Year.
1076
01:13:04,771 --> 01:13:06,571
Have you seen
this latest commercial?
1077
01:13:06,717 --> 01:13:08,664
Not "The-Sanctity-Of-The-Family" one.
1078
01:13:08,665 --> 01:13:10,265
This one is grotesque.
1079
01:13:10,343 --> 01:13:13,330
They have these kids--
who aren't that cute,
1080
01:13:13,331 --> 01:13:16,331
all lined up begging for
a governor they can look up to.
1081
01:13:17,147 --> 01:13:18,747
You know, Andrea,
1082
01:13:18,864 --> 01:13:20,564
you and I have this, uh...
1083
01:13:20,620 --> 01:13:22,754
...this fantastic symbiosis.
1084
01:13:22,854 --> 01:13:24,854
Even more than with your husband.
1085
01:13:25,004 --> 01:13:27,655
You want to stay in office,
I want to stay in business.
1086
01:13:28,970 --> 01:13:30,970
I think I'll be able
to take care of it.
1087
01:13:31,113 --> 01:13:34,017
I want to destroy him now.
I swear I do.
1088
01:13:42,924 --> 01:13:44,824
Throughout her public life,
1089
01:13:44,946 --> 01:13:46,946
Andrea Stannard has shown
the courage...
1090
01:13:47,078 --> 01:13:48,878
...to fight for
what she believes in,
1091
01:13:48,959 --> 01:13:50,655
and the compassion
to defend those...
1092
01:13:50,656 --> 01:13:52,652
...who can't fight
for themselves.
1093
01:13:52,653 --> 01:13:55,112
But lately,
Albert Murdoch has chosen...
1094
01:13:55,113 --> 01:13:57,253
...not to attack her beliefs.
1095
01:13:57,340 --> 01:14:00,444
Instead, he has smeared
her personal life.
1096
01:14:00,548 --> 01:14:02,203
Smeared her family.
1097
01:14:02,353 --> 01:14:04,848
Smeared her name
and reputation.
1098
01:14:04,971 --> 01:14:06,618
Albert Murdoch thinks
that's the way...
1099
01:14:06,619 --> 01:14:08,671
...you get elected
Governor of Washington.
1100
01:14:08,796 --> 01:14:10,196
Do you?
1101
01:14:10,273 --> 01:14:13,453
Andrea Stannard.
Courage, compassion.
1102
01:14:13,553 --> 01:14:15,553
Now, more than ever.
1103
01:14:17,862 --> 01:14:19,862
Okay, take it back
to the top.
1104
01:14:21,387 --> 01:14:23,691
Let's animate it this time
with the paint box.
1105
01:14:24,797 --> 01:14:26,797
We're ready, Pete.
You want the A. D. O.?
1106
01:14:26,906 --> 01:14:29,406
Yeah, everything this time.
Jackson, you too.
1107
01:14:29,561 --> 01:14:30,871
Right, Pete.
1108
01:14:31,787 --> 01:14:34,487
Okay. Hit the tape.
1109
01:14:35,004 --> 01:14:37,904
Throughout her public life,
Andrea Stannard has shown...
1110
01:14:38,031 --> 01:14:40,531
...the courage to fight for
what she believes in,
1111
01:14:40,582 --> 01:14:42,782
and the compassion
to defend those...
1112
01:14:42,837 --> 01:14:45,037
...who can't fight
for themselves.
1113
01:14:45,095 --> 01:14:47,095
But lately,
Albert Murdoch has chosen...
1114
01:14:47,233 --> 01:14:49,237
...not to attack her beliefs.
1115
01:14:49,403 --> 01:14:52,603
Instead, he has smeared
her personal life.
1116
01:14:52,741 --> 01:14:54,476
Smeared her family.
1117
01:14:54,525 --> 01:14:56,741
Smeared her name
and reputation.
1118
01:14:57,230 --> 01:14:58,872
Albert Murdoch thinks
that's the way...
1119
01:14:58,873 --> 01:15:01,173
...you get elected
Governor of Washington.
1120
01:15:01,307 --> 01:15:02,671
Do you?
1121
01:15:02,672 --> 01:15:06,114
Andrea Stannard.
Courage, compassion.
1122
01:15:06,231 --> 01:15:07,831
Now, more than ever.
1123
01:15:07,955 --> 01:15:09,255
All right!
1124
01:15:09,371 --> 01:15:11,371
Right! Yeah!
1125
01:15:17,419 --> 01:15:19,019
How did I do?
1126
01:15:19,347 --> 01:15:22,747
You got me so worked up,
I nearly went up and register.
1127
01:15:23,414 --> 01:15:25,514
You want me
Tuesday afternoon?
1128
01:15:25,797 --> 01:15:28,197
Yeah, for the two
new Cade spots.
1129
01:15:28,336 --> 01:15:29,836
- Good night, people.
- Good night.
1130
01:15:29,897 --> 01:15:31,297
Thanks.
1131
01:15:36,531 --> 01:15:39,835
Monday, Rosten's office called.
1132
01:15:40,441 --> 01:15:44,441
They said he's reconsidering
running for mayor next year.
1133
01:15:44,517 --> 01:15:46,917
He might take a shot
at the Senate.
1134
01:15:47,545 --> 01:15:50,045
They want to cancel
his contract.
1135
01:15:51,865 --> 01:15:54,665
They even want
their retainer back.
1136
01:15:57,855 --> 01:16:01,255
They say anything about us
doing the Senate campaign?
1137
01:16:03,375 --> 01:16:05,875
- That's all they said?
- Yeah.
1138
01:16:06,116 --> 01:16:07,916
Wednesday, Gazziano called.
1139
01:16:08,036 --> 01:16:11,686
Pretty much the same thing.
They said he's reassessing...
1140
01:16:11,687 --> 01:16:14,196
...his campaign plans
for next year.
1141
01:16:14,801 --> 01:16:16,401
He's out.
1142
01:16:21,310 --> 01:16:22,610
Hmm.
1143
01:16:26,243 --> 01:16:29,547
Santa Fe Ground,
Westwind-407-Whiskey to parking.
1144
01:16:30,616 --> 01:16:33,316
Santa Fe Ground to Westwind-407.
Roger.
1145
01:16:35,065 --> 01:16:37,230
Forget about the debate rules
you learned in school.
1146
01:16:37,231 --> 01:16:39,231
Gary, just keep it rolling.
1147
01:16:39,467 --> 01:16:42,367
You can turn any question
into what you want to say.
1148
01:16:42,498 --> 01:16:44,675
If the questions hit
our key points, great.
1149
01:16:44,676 --> 01:16:47,671
If they don't, just slide off.
1150
01:16:47,732 --> 01:16:50,532
Keep pounding away on
our themes, which are:
1151
01:16:50,666 --> 01:16:52,686
Integrity, new ideas,
1152
01:16:52,687 --> 01:16:54,721
no IOU's, no special interests.
1153
01:16:54,722 --> 01:16:55,873
- All right?
- Right.
1154
01:16:55,974 --> 01:16:57,774
Okay, bring it down a little.
1155
01:16:57,871 --> 01:17:00,696
Now, you're going to find
yourself very nervous.
1156
01:17:00,706 --> 01:17:02,798
That's to be expected,
it's okay.
1157
01:17:02,799 --> 01:17:05,681
Don't forget McKusker
is going to be nervous, too.
1158
01:17:05,682 --> 01:17:07,567
If your hands
start to shake,
1159
01:17:07,568 --> 01:17:10,568
just rest them
on the podium, that's all.
1160
01:17:12,135 --> 01:17:14,882
Now, when he hits you
with the rich boy shot,
1161
01:17:14,881 --> 01:17:16,618
and you make your response,
1162
01:17:16,619 --> 01:17:18,311
don't look at him.
Forget him.
1163
01:17:18,312 --> 01:17:20,412
Just look straight ahead
into the camera.
1164
01:17:20,499 --> 01:17:22,013
Listen, what about the road tax?
1165
01:17:22,014 --> 01:17:23,645
If we come out with a
limited increase,
1166
01:17:23,646 --> 01:17:25,976
- tied to the road tax, we can--
- No, no,no!
1167
01:17:25,999 --> 01:17:29,499
You want to win the uncommitteds?
You've got to stay uncommitted.
1168
01:17:29,678 --> 01:17:31,178
Right there, okay, perfect.
1169
01:17:31,281 --> 01:17:33,520
Now, tomorrow night--
this is very important,
1170
01:17:33,521 --> 01:17:35,762
when you and McKusker come out,
1171
01:17:35,763 --> 01:17:38,371
if that key light isn't high
hitting you dead on...
1172
01:17:38,372 --> 01:17:39,692
...you just walk off.
1173
01:17:39,693 --> 01:17:41,174
Don't come back till
they fix it, OK?
1174
01:17:41,175 --> 01:17:42,848
- Right.
- All right.
1175
01:17:44,256 --> 01:17:47,356
Okay, let me see
the opening statement again.
1176
01:17:50,127 --> 01:17:52,127
No, nothing, Ellen.
1177
01:17:52,434 --> 01:17:55,434
No, I just want to know
if you found anything out yet.
1178
01:17:58,073 --> 01:17:59,473
Yeah.
1179
01:18:03,535 --> 01:18:05,235
Syd, come on.
1180
01:18:15,966 --> 01:18:17,006
Jack?
1181
01:18:17,007 --> 01:18:19,702
Pete, you're going to have to
fly back to New York commercial.
1182
01:18:19,703 --> 01:18:23,213
- I've already booked you.
- All right, what's the matter?
1183
01:18:23,296 --> 01:18:25,796
I got back from dinner
and the airplane was gone.
1184
01:18:26,071 --> 01:18:28,971
The guys in the hangar said
a truck hooked it up and towed it.
1185
01:18:29,098 --> 01:18:30,998
They thought I knew about it.
1186
01:18:31,083 --> 01:18:34,912
We found it way the hell and back
by the old runway.
1187
01:18:34,913 --> 01:18:36,621
Whoever it was,
went through it,
1188
01:18:36,622 --> 01:18:38,822
but I can't find
anything gone.
1189
01:18:38,988 --> 01:18:42,767
I've got to hold it here and
have it checked out tomorrow.
1190
01:18:42,768 --> 01:18:45,768
Do you have any idea
what the hell is going on here?
1191
01:18:48,455 --> 01:18:50,055
You have a visitor.
1192
01:18:50,190 --> 01:18:51,690
Mr. Buckley.
1193
01:18:53,445 --> 01:18:55,045
Send him in, Helen.
1194
01:19:02,697 --> 01:19:04,697
Ohhh, my!
1195
01:19:05,675 --> 01:19:07,875
I thought you never
came around these parts.
1196
01:19:09,673 --> 01:19:11,473
Yeah... Oh!
1197
01:19:11,771 --> 01:19:13,759
I read someplace, uh--
Reader's Digest,
1198
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:15,415
that life is dynamic
and you got to--
1199
01:19:15,414 --> 01:19:18,314
keep trying new things--
you got to-- I...
1200
01:19:19,894 --> 01:19:22,897
I couldn't believe it when I heard
about the McKusker thing.
1201
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,400
It wouldn't be the first time
I had a butt-head firing me.
1202
01:19:27,930 --> 01:19:29,730
- What's that-- over there...?
- Yeah, go ahead.
1203
01:19:29,869 --> 01:19:31,369
Oh, thank you!
1204
01:19:31,475 --> 01:19:33,875
Ah, it was a good lesson.
We'd lost focus.
1205
01:19:34,337 --> 01:19:36,037
He's crapping in his pants
all the time about...
1206
01:19:36,172 --> 01:19:38,172
...what you're going to do next.
1207
01:19:38,490 --> 01:19:40,290
I just let it get away from me.
1208
01:19:40,353 --> 01:19:42,653
What's this--? Ooh!
1209
01:19:43,855 --> 01:19:45,855
Yeah, I lost control
of the terrain.
1210
01:19:45,945 --> 01:19:49,449
Started reacting, and sure as shit,
start losing the battle.
1211
01:19:51,062 --> 01:19:52,562
What now?
1212
01:19:52,925 --> 01:19:55,425
I'm going to be in Ohio.
1213
01:19:55,673 --> 01:19:57,673
- Ohio?
- Mm-hmm.
1214
01:19:57,863 --> 01:20:02,126
- Westbrook-- You with Westbrook?
- No, with college professor Aarons.
1215
01:20:05,376 --> 01:20:07,776
Why, Will?
The guy's a loser.
1216
01:20:07,896 --> 01:20:09,696
Well, it's real simple.
1217
01:20:09,978 --> 01:20:12,594
He's smart, he's straight,
he needs the help,
1218
01:20:12,595 --> 01:20:14,198
and I need the work.
1219
01:20:14,225 --> 01:20:16,225
I'm going down there,
pull another 6 or 8 points,
1220
01:20:16,344 --> 01:20:18,344
double his share--
it ain't impossible.
1221
01:20:18,492 --> 01:20:21,992
What he got going now, it'll make me
look like a fuckin' miracle worker.
1222
01:20:22,116 --> 01:20:24,816
See? It's real simple.
1223
01:20:25,961 --> 01:20:27,461
Yeah.
1224
01:20:28,575 --> 01:20:32,075
Well, if they're out there,
I've seen the polling...
1225
01:20:34,189 --> 01:20:38,793
But, Will, we're not talking about
undecideds planning to vote here.
1226
01:20:39,602 --> 01:20:43,392
You got 7 weeks to identify
and roust 50,000 people...
1227
01:20:43,393 --> 01:20:45,420
...about as removed
from the system as he is.
1228
01:20:45,421 --> 01:20:49,621
That's when I figured that the votes
wouldn't be coming from Cade.
1229
01:20:57,434 --> 01:20:59,434
Are you going to make me ask?
1230
01:21:03,864 --> 01:21:05,664
Ask what, Will?
1231
01:21:05,798 --> 01:21:09,098
Your demographics, goddamn it!
The polls.
1232
01:21:09,199 --> 01:21:10,712
You're right.
1233
01:21:10,861 --> 01:21:13,399
There's no time.
There's no money.
1234
01:21:13,500 --> 01:21:15,300
I need them. Listen to me,
1235
01:21:15,359 --> 01:21:18,159
I'm calling everything in.
After this, you owe nothing to me.
1236
01:21:18,457 --> 01:21:20,057
I owe--!
1237
01:21:20,601 --> 01:21:23,701
I don't owe you anything now,
all right?
1238
01:21:24,421 --> 01:21:26,221
I left you for an opportunity.
1239
01:21:26,298 --> 01:21:28,734
You didn't want to go with the guy,
I did, so I left.
1240
01:21:28,735 --> 01:21:31,674
He was slime!
He didn't deserve getting you!
1241
01:21:31,675 --> 01:21:34,010
And I didn't deserve being left
in the middle of a campaign!
1242
01:21:34,011 --> 01:21:36,211
I didn't deserve that from you!
1243
01:21:38,782 --> 01:21:42,682
Hey-- goddamn it,
are you going to make me beg?
1244
01:21:44,727 --> 01:21:47,727
What in the hell did you do?
1245
01:21:47,827 --> 01:21:52,628
We billed Cade over $200,000
for those two polls.
1246
01:21:53,252 --> 01:21:55,096
That makes him
the biggest contributor...
1247
01:21:55,097 --> 01:21:58,397
...to the Phil Aarons
for U.S. Senate campaign.
1248
01:21:59,143 --> 01:22:01,143
It's illegal.
1249
01:22:03,272 --> 01:22:05,272
And it's stupid.
1250
01:22:14,459 --> 01:22:16,559
We're running
short of time.
1251
01:22:16,826 --> 01:22:21,130
From now on, this campaign
frames a single question:
1252
01:22:21,516 --> 01:22:23,916
"Is it or isn't it
time for a change?"
1253
01:22:24,782 --> 01:22:26,385
Now, we reshape the question,
1254
01:22:26,386 --> 01:22:28,186
and make the other two guys
part of the problem.
1255
01:22:28,259 --> 01:22:30,736
But, the critical thing is,
we don't get bogged down...
1256
01:22:30,737 --> 01:22:32,637
...trying to come up
with the answers!
1257
01:22:32,704 --> 01:22:34,680
By November, there's going to be
a feel out there...
1258
01:22:34,681 --> 01:22:36,671
...that you can do a better job
to find them.
1259
01:22:36,672 --> 01:22:38,732
- Look, I know you're--
- Phillip!
1260
01:22:38,872 --> 01:22:41,563
I could squeeze you out the whole
foot and a half of bullshit,
1261
01:22:41,564 --> 01:22:43,994
but neither of us has the time.
1262
01:22:44,094 --> 01:22:47,077
Everything I learned in the last
26 years boils down to this:
1263
01:22:47,078 --> 01:22:50,666
if they like you,
they'll vote for you. Period.
1264
01:22:50,667 --> 01:22:52,706
People don't vote issues,
they vote people.
1265
01:22:52,707 --> 01:22:53,992
Yeah, but the whole point of--
1266
01:22:53,993 --> 01:22:56,893
Phillip, you're the best guy
running, am I right?
1267
01:22:57,284 --> 01:23:00,684
I wouldn't be here
if I didn't believe that, right?
1268
01:23:01,713 --> 01:23:03,913
I think that's why you called me,
in the first place.
1269
01:23:06,232 --> 01:23:08,936
Now, the leaves
are starting to turn.
1270
01:23:09,131 --> 01:23:11,600
We got a debate
coming up, Phillip,
1271
01:23:11,650 --> 01:23:13,850
with statewide exposure.
1272
01:23:14,422 --> 01:23:16,622
You got a question
you got to answer:
1273
01:23:17,107 --> 01:23:19,007
Phillip,
1274
01:23:19,087 --> 01:23:21,887
are you running for office
or running for principle?
1275
01:23:25,792 --> 01:23:27,592
I hope I'm running for both.
1276
01:23:29,305 --> 01:23:31,405
Oh, Phillip... Phillip!
1277
01:23:31,499 --> 01:23:34,030
I'm personally convinced you'll do
a hell of a job once you get in,
1278
01:23:34,029 --> 01:23:36,829
but you got to get
through that door!
1279
01:23:37,748 --> 01:23:40,048
What's the price of admission?
1280
01:23:40,550 --> 01:23:42,860
Why just kiss off
the middle class?
1281
01:23:43,872 --> 01:23:45,872
I've seen some intriguing numbers.
1282
01:23:45,978 --> 01:23:47,978
A lot of them out there
like what you're saying,
1283
01:23:48,122 --> 01:23:49,922
but they're not going to
vote for you. You know why?
1284
01:23:50,013 --> 01:23:52,862
Because they don't really know you.
They think they know you.
1285
01:23:52,962 --> 01:23:54,162
They see you
without a tie,
1286
01:23:54,276 --> 01:23:56,176
wearing an old beat-up jacket
and chinos...
1287
01:23:56,288 --> 01:23:57,891
They get frightened!
1288
01:23:58,025 --> 01:23:59,926
We're throwing those votes away!
1289
01:24:00,024 --> 01:24:02,401
On the gut issues, you're not
that far away from them.
1290
01:24:02,402 --> 01:24:04,749
You got to ease off on the ones
that you are, though.
1291
01:24:04,750 --> 01:24:06,250
Look, Phil.
1292
01:24:06,312 --> 01:24:07,912
They're scared about the future.
1293
01:24:08,017 --> 01:24:10,221
Whether or not they're going to
have a job next year.
1294
01:24:10,222 --> 01:24:12,122
You got to make sure
they really listen to you.
1295
01:24:12,364 --> 01:24:14,950
They all turn off when you
stand up wearing a flannel shirt,
1296
01:24:14,951 --> 01:24:18,751
and hiking boots, looking like you
just came off a picket line.
1297
01:24:21,412 --> 01:24:24,716
Yeah. That's all you got to do.
1298
01:24:33,590 --> 01:24:36,590
- Are you through with the file?
- Yes, I think so.
1299
01:24:36,643 --> 01:24:38,643
I just want to make quite sure,
1300
01:24:38,703 --> 01:24:41,103
if there were any outstanding notes
on their property,
1301
01:24:41,221 --> 01:24:44,521
any liens, things like that,
it would be recorded here?
1302
01:24:44,693 --> 01:24:46,960
Well, are they residents here
and is the property here?
1303
01:24:46,961 --> 01:24:49,134
- Yes, Georgetown.
- Then, it'll be here.
1304
01:24:49,135 --> 01:24:50,835
Okay.
1305
01:24:51,284 --> 01:24:53,084
Thank you.
1306
01:24:59,987 --> 01:25:01,787
Yeah, Ellen.
1307
01:25:01,897 --> 01:25:03,597
All right, fellows,
bring the boxes in here.
1308
01:25:03,745 --> 01:25:05,245
What?
1309
01:25:06,047 --> 01:25:08,799
- What is going on out there?
- The pipes in the basement burst.
1310
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:10,683
There's 6 inches of water
down there.
1311
01:25:10,684 --> 01:25:12,284
Yeah, say it again.
1312
01:25:14,555 --> 01:25:16,755
No, don't say it
over the phone.
1313
01:25:17,681 --> 01:25:19,681
I'll meet you there.
1314
01:25:20,119 --> 01:25:22,819
4:30, right?
Yeah, bye.
1315
01:25:24,107 --> 01:25:26,107
What time will you be back?
1316
01:25:28,273 --> 01:25:30,073
It never opened.
1317
01:25:30,924 --> 01:25:33,498
The construction costs went
way over budget and...
1318
01:25:33,499 --> 01:25:36,199
...they couldn't get the rents
they were asking.
1319
01:25:36,596 --> 01:25:38,400
I don't get it.
1320
01:25:39,585 --> 01:25:43,585
The owner is the Liberty Mall
Development Corporation.
1321
01:25:45,403 --> 01:25:47,403
General partners...
1322
01:25:49,128 --> 01:25:52,128
...Arnold Billings and
Claire Hastings.
1323
01:25:56,113 --> 01:25:58,501
He advanced me some money.
1324
01:25:58,550 --> 01:26:00,407
A lot of money...
1325
01:26:00,408 --> 01:26:02,609
...for my share
in the partnership.
1326
01:26:02,915 --> 01:26:04,916
Well, I bought this house and--
1327
01:26:05,092 --> 01:26:08,892
redecoration got out of control,
I took a second advance.
1328
01:26:09,458 --> 01:26:12,458
in anticipation of profits,
when they--
1329
01:26:12,685 --> 01:26:14,589
sold the share to the
limited partners...
1330
01:26:14,590 --> 01:26:16,890
...and the rents
started coming in.
1331
01:26:17,796 --> 01:26:21,996
That whole neighborhood was due
for urban renewal,
1332
01:26:22,221 --> 01:26:26,021
until it got killed
in some goddamn committee.
1333
01:26:26,690 --> 01:26:29,315
And, ludicrous as it may seem,
1334
01:26:29,316 --> 01:26:31,771
I still believed, even then,
that in the end...
1335
01:26:31,772 --> 01:26:34,682
...everything was going to
turn out all right.
1336
01:26:35,207 --> 01:26:37,907
When did Billings
start leaning on you?
1337
01:26:39,378 --> 01:26:41,378
In January.
1338
01:26:42,415 --> 01:26:45,353
He said a couple of clients
would be hurt...
1339
01:26:45,354 --> 01:26:47,700
...by the new solar design
and he asked me...
1340
01:26:47,701 --> 01:26:50,845
...to persuade Sam
to stop pushing it.
1341
01:26:50,846 --> 01:26:53,820
I told him he was crazy!
I mean, my God, Sam--
1342
01:26:53,821 --> 01:26:55,778
wouldn't listen to me
on the abortion!
1343
01:26:55,779 --> 01:26:59,679
It was damned sure he wouldn't
listen on solar generation.
1344
01:27:00,119 --> 01:27:02,893
This went on for a month,
six weeks,
1345
01:27:02,993 --> 01:27:06,893
and then, he brought up
a surprise:
1346
01:27:07,907 --> 01:27:09,707
the money.
1347
01:27:12,101 --> 01:27:14,401
How much money
did he give you?
1348
01:27:17,349 --> 01:27:19,853
380,000 dollars.
1349
01:27:20,512 --> 01:27:22,512
A little more.
1350
01:27:24,826 --> 01:27:26,943
What was so funny
was I thought...
1351
01:27:26,944 --> 01:27:29,544
...that I could handle it--
and him!
1352
01:27:30,220 --> 01:27:31,790
Even when he started to...
1353
01:27:31,791 --> 01:27:33,734
...come to the house and
show up all the time,
1354
01:27:33,735 --> 01:27:35,435
I still thought that I--
1355
01:27:35,526 --> 01:27:38,026
it was only a little kind
of intimidation.
1356
01:27:38,426 --> 01:27:40,121
And then, one day, he--
1357
01:27:40,270 --> 01:27:43,330
walked right past me
into Sam's office, and...
1358
01:27:44,307 --> 01:27:47,407
...laid it on the line.
Laid it on the line!
1359
01:27:47,489 --> 01:27:50,089
And he asked Sam
to kill the appropriation.
1360
01:27:50,144 --> 01:27:54,444
Sam threw him out of the house!
And then--
1361
01:27:54,530 --> 01:27:55,905
because of me, because--
1362
01:27:55,955 --> 01:27:59,430
of what might happen to me,
1363
01:27:59,579 --> 01:28:01,510
he's walking away
from a job...
1364
01:28:01,511 --> 01:28:05,279
...that he's put his life
and soul into.
1365
01:28:08,094 --> 01:28:11,394
Remember when you
were here last...
1366
01:28:11,946 --> 01:28:15,546
...and you spoke about friendship?
You didn't tell me...
1367
01:28:15,670 --> 01:28:17,799
...that you had come here
to dig up something on us, but...
1368
01:28:17,800 --> 01:28:21,416
...after you had left,
I knew why you had come!
1369
01:28:21,516 --> 01:28:25,916
That was one thing I could
figure out for myself!
1370
01:28:32,230 --> 01:28:34,634
When you write this,
1371
01:28:35,656 --> 01:28:38,956
make sure I am the monster.
1372
01:28:46,801 --> 01:28:49,381
Right, right, right.
Just send it to me. If, uh,
1373
01:28:49,380 --> 01:28:53,095
if I have any questions
I'll get back to you.
1374
01:28:53,845 --> 01:28:55,480
Yeah, okay.
1375
01:29:02,509 --> 01:29:05,809
I had a long talk with
Claire Hastings last night.
1376
01:29:07,708 --> 01:29:10,698
Well, I happen to know
Mrs. Hastings quite well.
1377
01:29:10,798 --> 01:29:14,326
I don't know if she told you,
but we were business partners.
1378
01:29:14,954 --> 01:29:16,754
I'm out.
1379
01:29:17,947 --> 01:29:19,781
I assume that means
you're resigning from...
1380
01:29:19,782 --> 01:29:22,684
...the Cade campaign. Is that
what you mean, Mr. St. John?
1381
01:29:23,205 --> 01:29:26,205
The plane. The phones.
1382
01:29:27,222 --> 01:29:30,822
Two clients cancelling out,
what was the point?
1383
01:29:38,755 --> 01:29:41,655
The point-- to what?
The point is...
1384
01:29:42,057 --> 01:29:44,057
...I didn't trust you, okay?
1385
01:29:44,529 --> 01:29:47,229
I didn't want you
on this campaign.
1386
01:29:47,385 --> 01:29:49,865
One, you're much too close
to Hastings and, out of nowhere,
1387
01:29:49,866 --> 01:29:51,803
this Aarons jumps in the race,
1388
01:29:51,804 --> 01:29:54,820
and your old pal Buckley
is calling the shots on that one?
1389
01:29:54,821 --> 01:29:56,821
No, no.
1390
01:29:58,141 --> 01:30:00,141
Look,
1391
01:30:00,530 --> 01:30:03,630
we hired you to do a job,
Mr. St. John,
1392
01:30:03,813 --> 01:30:06,814
and it wasn't to investigate
me and my company...
1393
01:30:06,815 --> 01:30:10,115
...and it sure wasn't to exchange
information with your ex-wife.
1394
01:30:14,497 --> 01:30:16,224
Look, we wanted you to know...
1395
01:30:16,225 --> 01:30:19,508
...that if you really
did try and screw us,
1396
01:30:19,509 --> 01:30:22,809
that something bad
could happen to you.
1397
01:30:23,033 --> 01:30:25,210
That's the message
we were trying to convey.
1398
01:30:25,211 --> 01:30:28,231
Now, the plane,
the phones...
1399
01:30:28,853 --> 01:30:31,453
...merely dramatic illustrations.
1400
01:30:34,823 --> 01:30:37,223
Don't you walk out on me.
1401
01:30:37,670 --> 01:30:40,205
Oh, you think it's all
some kinda game, don't you?
1402
01:30:40,206 --> 01:30:43,806
You just walk in,
you jerk the locals around,
1403
01:30:43,825 --> 01:30:46,825
you put in whoever's paying you
and you leave.
1404
01:30:46,951 --> 01:30:49,751
It is no fucking game!
1405
01:30:49,875 --> 01:30:52,275
You are deciding
who's running this country,
1406
01:30:52,350 --> 01:30:54,847
who's running other countries.
I care about that.
1407
01:30:55,147 --> 01:30:57,408
My clients have to deal
with the consequences.
1408
01:30:57,409 --> 01:30:59,409
You don't give a shit!
1409
01:31:07,966 --> 01:31:09,966
Look, I, uh--
1410
01:31:10,863 --> 01:31:13,056
Come on, we're the same guys,
you and me.
1411
01:31:13,057 --> 01:31:16,816
Why don't you just do
what you've always done?
1412
01:31:16,827 --> 01:31:20,209
Just elect Cade,
and get paid,
1413
01:31:20,276 --> 01:31:22,276
and leave.
1414
01:31:24,021 --> 01:31:26,521
What is the problem, Peter?
1415
01:32:30,525 --> 01:32:32,325
I hate this.
1416
01:32:33,086 --> 01:32:35,686
You're going to do good, Phillip.
Real good.
1417
01:32:35,804 --> 01:32:37,304
- I've got an idea.
- What?
1418
01:32:37,376 --> 01:32:39,676
Instead of me trying
to impersonate a statesman,
1419
01:32:39,677 --> 01:32:41,679
when it's my turn to speak
maybe we should just...
1420
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:44,984
...turn down the lights and run
"Mr. Smith Goes to Washington".
1421
01:32:45,543 --> 01:32:46,792
Now we're starting to move.
1422
01:32:46,793 --> 01:32:48,250
You could feel it
on our last trip.
1423
01:32:48,251 --> 01:32:51,251
You're framing the right message
and it's getting through.
1424
01:32:56,822 --> 01:32:58,122
Will--
1425
01:32:58,429 --> 01:33:00,829
I know this is a real bad time.
Could I have a couple of minutes?
1426
01:33:00,904 --> 01:33:03,804
Yeah, you're right, it is bad.
We're just on our way out.
1427
01:33:03,973 --> 01:33:05,773
Phillip, this is Pete St. John.
1428
01:33:05,843 --> 01:33:07,301
I've read about you.
1429
01:33:07,859 --> 01:33:09,261
Yeah. Hello.
1430
01:33:09,339 --> 01:33:11,239
We'll talk later, uh?
1431
01:33:11,347 --> 01:33:15,486
Look, I gave you two polls.
You can give me two minutes.
1432
01:33:15,487 --> 01:33:18,487
What did I give you?
What did you do with it?
1433
01:33:19,581 --> 01:33:22,881
I sold out! All right, Will?
I sold out!
1434
01:33:23,327 --> 01:33:25,138
He thinks because he won't work
for someone like Cade,
1435
01:33:25,239 --> 01:33:26,863
...makes everything okay.
It makes me a shit...
1436
01:33:26,964 --> 01:33:30,456
...and him, some kind of
a holy crusader. We're the same!
1437
01:33:31,014 --> 01:33:33,117
He got you this suit, right?
1438
01:33:33,312 --> 01:33:36,312
New haircut. Contacts.
1439
01:33:37,787 --> 01:33:41,187
And what you've been saying
has started to shift?
1440
01:33:42,248 --> 01:33:43,808
Have you softened anything
you were saying...
1441
01:33:43,809 --> 01:33:45,986
...before he came along
to help you out?
1442
01:33:46,679 --> 01:33:48,435
Hmm? Well, that's OK.
1443
01:33:48,436 --> 01:33:51,036
That's his job, to get you in.
1444
01:33:51,208 --> 01:33:54,808
Once you're elected, you can do
anything you want to do.
1445
01:33:55,206 --> 01:33:57,006
That sound familiar?
1446
01:33:59,502 --> 01:34:01,432
Look, I know I'm going to
hurt your feelings, but...
1447
01:34:01,433 --> 01:34:02,937
...you don't have a chance.
1448
01:34:02,938 --> 01:34:05,089
- You got a lot of gall--
- No, no, no, no--
1449
01:34:05,090 --> 01:34:06,690
It's OK, Wilfred.
I want to hear this.
1450
01:34:06,825 --> 01:34:08,125
You're a bright guy,
you teach college,
1451
01:34:08,126 --> 01:34:10,869
just can't be news.
You do not have a prayer.
1452
01:34:11,772 --> 01:34:13,503
It's just one of
those awkward realities...
1453
01:34:13,504 --> 01:34:17,804
...we don't say out loud
in front of the paying clients.
1454
01:34:20,616 --> 01:34:22,431
Instead of just going back
and teach History...
1455
01:34:22,432 --> 01:34:24,636
...why don't you go out there
tonight and make some?
1456
01:34:24,908 --> 01:34:26,858
You got nothing to lose!
Why don't you go out there...
1457
01:34:26,859 --> 01:34:29,293
...stand up and say
exactly what you think?
1458
01:34:29,881 --> 01:34:31,881
What you think!
1459
01:34:32,213 --> 01:34:34,713
Maybe even what you feel!
1460
01:34:35,261 --> 01:34:37,488
Not what the polls say,
or what Wilfred says, or what I--
1461
01:34:37,489 --> 01:34:39,622
Are you saying
I can't handle my client?
1462
01:34:39,623 --> 01:34:42,821
Wilfred, I'm not talking about you.
You're the best of all of us.
1463
01:34:42,822 --> 01:34:44,714
But it doesn't mean a damn
who's running the show!
1464
01:34:44,715 --> 01:34:46,251
- It's a show!
- What do you want to do?
1465
01:34:46,252 --> 01:34:48,210
Go back to the old days?
Like it was before?
1466
01:34:48,211 --> 01:34:50,211
Have the machines
put their boys in?
1467
01:34:50,285 --> 01:34:52,890
Is that what you want?
Have the newspapers in charge?
1468
01:34:52,891 --> 01:34:55,891
Have the "Los Angeles Times"
create another Richard Nixon?
1469
01:34:56,654 --> 01:34:59,054
If you want to walk,
just walk. Go ahead.
1470
01:34:59,136 --> 01:35:01,736
You shit on your own life,
not on mine.
1471
01:35:01,852 --> 01:35:03,837
Come on, Phillip.
1472
01:35:18,443 --> 01:35:20,943
We're irrelevant.
1473
01:35:29,654 --> 01:35:32,054
But you're staying.
1474
01:35:33,417 --> 01:35:37,920
Those people there sure as hell
aren't going anywhere.
1475
01:35:41,957 --> 01:35:45,757
Can you look at 'em and
say exactly what you feel?
1476
01:35:50,925 --> 01:35:53,825
I'm not saying you may not make
a horse's ass of yourself.
1477
01:35:55,074 --> 01:35:58,074
But, just the spectacle of
something human out there...
1478
01:35:58,336 --> 01:36:01,957
...may make hordes of people
come tumbling out of their homes...
1479
01:36:01,958 --> 01:36:04,962
...in a huge tidal wave of emotion
and vote for you.
1480
01:36:09,343 --> 01:36:10,893
You read the papers,
you got to know...
1481
01:36:10,894 --> 01:36:15,030
...there's a higher voters' percentage
in Bolivia than in the U.S.
1482
01:36:16,636 --> 01:36:20,836
I don't know, maybe they feel
connected to what's going on.
1483
01:36:22,522 --> 01:36:25,719
Maybe it takes too much
in America-- too much energy,
1484
01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:30,324
too much attention
to follow it all.
1485
01:36:32,294 --> 01:36:35,094
Maybe that's why they like to get
their candidates predigested,
1486
01:36:35,204 --> 01:36:38,404
prepackaged, like TV dinners.
1487
01:36:41,870 --> 01:36:44,870
I've become a very rich man
believing that.
1488
01:36:49,720 --> 01:36:52,722
Prove me wrong.
1489
01:37:09,356 --> 01:37:11,186
Hi, Pete.
1490
01:37:27,051 --> 01:37:28,551
Syd, come on.
1491
01:37:28,594 --> 01:37:30,794
We can watch from the booth.
1492
01:37:38,138 --> 01:37:42,338
As President of the Ohio
League of Women Voters,
1493
01:37:43,159 --> 01:37:45,959
I wish to personally
welcome you...
1494
01:37:46,070 --> 01:37:49,370
...to the United States
Senatorial debate tonight.
1495
01:37:58,731 --> 01:38:00,900
The order of opening
and closing statements...
1496
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:03,200
...was determined
this afternoon by lot.
1497
01:38:03,568 --> 01:38:06,668
Mr. Aarons will give
the first opening statement,
1498
01:38:06,717 --> 01:38:09,921
followed by Mr. Westbrook
and Mr. Cade.
1499
01:38:15,464 --> 01:38:18,264
- Mr. Aarons.
- Thank you, Mrs. Bernhardt.
1500
01:38:19,176 --> 01:38:21,898
For those of you who still
don't know who I am,
1501
01:38:21,899 --> 01:38:25,439
I'm the guy for whom this job
actually means a raise in pay.
1502
01:38:25,889 --> 01:38:27,364
Ladies and gentlemen!
1503
01:38:27,414 --> 01:38:29,789
Ladies and gentlemen!
Ladies and gentlemen...
1504
01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:34,251
I would like to remind you...
1505
01:38:34,252 --> 01:38:35,818
...to please refrain
from any kind...
1506
01:38:35,819 --> 01:38:38,552
...of public demonstration
during the debate.
1507
01:38:44,457 --> 01:38:46,457
I, uh,
1508
01:38:46,892 --> 01:38:49,092
feel very uncomfortable
right now.
1509
01:38:50,739 --> 01:38:53,059
I feel uncomfortable
standing up here,
1510
01:38:53,060 --> 01:38:54,960
under all these lights,
1511
01:38:55,028 --> 01:38:58,932
trying to fit what I believe in
into a 180 seconds.
1512
01:38:59,349 --> 01:39:01,149
But more than that,
1513
01:39:01,221 --> 01:39:04,921
I feel uncomfortable with the job
of being a candidate.
1514
01:39:05,434 --> 01:39:07,863
With trying to convince you
that by electing me...
1515
01:39:07,864 --> 01:39:09,734
...to the U.S. Senate...
1516
01:39:09,822 --> 01:39:11,897
...you're going to get
a better job,
1517
01:39:11,898 --> 01:39:14,098
you're going to
make more money,
1518
01:39:14,237 --> 01:39:17,437
that your lives are somehow
going to magically improve,
1519
01:39:19,511 --> 01:39:21,911
because that's not
going to happen.
1520
01:39:22,477 --> 01:39:25,180
It's not going to happen
if you elect me,
1521
01:39:25,275 --> 01:39:28,275
or Mr. Cade
or Mr. Westbrook.
1522
01:39:29,561 --> 01:39:31,117
Therefore,
1523
01:39:31,267 --> 01:39:34,261
I am not going to ask you
now for your vote.
1524
01:39:34,701 --> 01:39:36,451
I am going to ask
that you listen to me...
1525
01:39:36,452 --> 01:39:40,152
...for the next few minutes, and
during the rest of the debate,
1526
01:39:40,234 --> 01:39:42,934
and then just think about
what I've said.
1527
01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:47,646
I think that, above all else,
our real problems--
1528
01:39:47,647 --> 01:39:50,350
chronic poverty,
shrinking resources,
1529
01:39:50,440 --> 01:39:52,440
are long-term.
1530
01:39:52,642 --> 01:39:54,682
But the solutions
we're being given...
1531
01:39:54,683 --> 01:39:57,486
...are designed to get
the politicians elected,
1532
01:39:57,487 --> 01:39:59,687
not to solve the problems.
1533
01:39:59,860 --> 01:40:01,360
Ladies and gentlemen!
1534
01:40:01,564 --> 01:40:03,564
Ladies and gentlemen!
1535
01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:08,600
Once more I remind
the audience...
1536
01:40:08,650 --> 01:40:10,820
...not to cheer or applaud.
1537
01:40:10,946 --> 01:40:13,450
You only take time away
from your candidate.
1538
01:40:13,741 --> 01:40:16,241
You only take time away
from your candidate.
1539
01:40:16,837 --> 01:40:18,037
Thank you.
1540
01:40:18,252 --> 01:40:21,252
Right now,
right here in Ohio,
1541
01:40:21,719 --> 01:40:24,419
why can't we be the first
to forget about the election?
1542
01:40:24,540 --> 01:40:27,540
And think past November.
And past next year. And--
1543
01:40:27,694 --> 01:40:30,955
maybe even beyond our own
lifetimes and begin to...
1544
01:40:30,956 --> 01:40:33,556
...really think about
the real answers.
1545
01:40:33,791 --> 01:40:36,991
If there is an early pattern
in this off-year election,
1546
01:40:37,088 --> 01:40:38,626
is that the voters...
1547
01:40:38,776 --> 01:40:41,092
...are sending a strong signal
to the politicians,
1548
01:40:41,169 --> 01:40:43,369
saying any politician
who takes them for granted...
1549
01:40:43,442 --> 01:40:45,642
...does so at his or her
own peril.
1550
01:40:45,756 --> 01:40:48,056
For instance, Senate races
in New York, Florida and Oregon,
1551
01:40:48,117 --> 01:40:50,948
had been predicted by the experts
as easy contests.
1552
01:40:50,949 --> 01:40:52,349
They're horse races.
1553
01:40:52,482 --> 01:40:55,482
Jim Hart, it's an hour or so
before the polls close in the West.
1554
01:40:55,578 --> 01:40:58,078
What do our exit polls
show us so far?
1555
01:40:58,148 --> 01:41:01,148
Roger, one contest in which
the experts appear to be right,
1556
01:41:01,295 --> 01:41:03,999
though it was exceptionally
bitter and hard-fought
1557
01:41:04,146 --> 01:41:08,146
and closer than expected, is the
New Mexico gubernatorial race.
1558
01:41:08,229 --> 01:41:09,529
Based on our numbers,
1559
01:41:09,588 --> 01:41:11,943
we believe that congressman
Frank McKusker...
1560
01:41:11,944 --> 01:41:14,244
...will wind up with about
53% of the vote,
1561
01:41:14,438 --> 01:41:16,638
defeating millionaire
Wallace Furman...
1562
01:41:16,871 --> 01:41:20,571
...who spend more than
an estimate of $5,000,000...
1563
01:41:21,905 --> 01:41:23,905
Wallace, I'm sorry!
1564
01:41:26,198 --> 01:41:29,202
Oh, yeah, Wilfred called me
last week.
1565
01:41:30,703 --> 01:41:32,603
Yeah? How is he?
1566
01:41:33,197 --> 01:41:35,597
Well, he was pretty upset
when he called.
1567
01:41:35,777 --> 01:41:38,030
Something about
you storming in...
1568
01:41:38,031 --> 01:41:40,131
...like the mad prophet of doom.
1569
01:41:40,249 --> 01:41:42,549
That's the way he put it.
1570
01:41:43,148 --> 01:41:46,248
He was pleased
you left Cade.
1571
01:41:47,411 --> 01:41:49,811
But he seemed, hum--
1572
01:41:49,878 --> 01:41:53,081
upset about something
you'd said to Aarons.
1573
01:41:53,312 --> 01:41:55,612
What did you say
to him, Pete? He--
1574
01:41:55,865 --> 01:41:58,165
wouldn't be specific.
1575
01:41:59,341 --> 01:42:01,541
The truth, I think.
1576
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:04,580
Finally, all he had to offer
was himself.
1577
01:42:11,194 --> 01:42:14,931
Thank you. Based on our
ABC exit polls,
1578
01:42:14,932 --> 01:42:17,256
and early results from
key precincts...
1579
01:42:17,406 --> 01:42:20,293
...in the State of Washington,
we're now projecting...
1580
01:42:20,294 --> 01:42:22,720
...that incumbent Governor
Andrea Stannard...
1581
01:42:22,721 --> 01:42:24,921
...will win a second
four-year term...
1582
01:42:25,112 --> 01:42:26,912
Thank God.
1583
01:42:28,553 --> 01:42:30,553
Well done.
1584
01:42:32,707 --> 01:42:34,207
- Well done.
- Thank you very much.
1585
01:42:34,324 --> 01:42:36,324
Thank you. Thank you.
1586
01:42:38,766 --> 01:42:41,166
You having problems
with your story?
1587
01:42:41,660 --> 01:42:43,564
How do you mean?
1588
01:42:43,660 --> 01:42:45,660
It's just that
I haven't seen it yet.
1589
01:42:45,991 --> 01:42:47,491
I'm surprised, that's all.
1590
01:42:47,544 --> 01:42:49,344
No. No, it's fine.
1591
01:42:49,432 --> 01:42:51,932
Just a-- a mess.
1592
01:42:53,404 --> 01:42:55,204
You having trouble
finding sources?
1593
01:42:55,338 --> 01:42:57,238
Oh, uh--
1594
01:42:57,848 --> 01:42:59,848
No, no.
1595
01:43:01,644 --> 01:43:03,444
What is it?
1596
01:43:04,406 --> 01:43:06,206
I, uh--
1597
01:43:06,421 --> 01:43:10,225
I just-- I decided
not to do a story about, uh...
1598
01:43:10,334 --> 01:43:12,334
Sam and Claire, that's all.
1599
01:43:13,915 --> 01:43:15,415
Why?
1600
01:43:18,420 --> 01:43:20,696
Well, first of all,
Sam didn't commit any crime.
1601
01:43:20,697 --> 01:43:22,297
He didn't do
anything wrong.
1602
01:43:22,386 --> 01:43:24,286
The only person who did
anything was Claire.
1603
01:43:24,508 --> 01:43:26,721
Billings went into business
with a Senator's wife...
1604
01:43:26,722 --> 01:43:28,322
...and tried to influence
his vote.
1605
01:43:28,433 --> 01:43:30,300
Of course, it's nasty and
it's against all the rules,
1606
01:43:30,301 --> 01:43:32,101
but it's just
a question of degree.
1607
01:43:32,188 --> 01:43:33,904
The man's basically
a lobbyist, right?
1608
01:43:33,905 --> 01:43:36,204
That's what he gets paid for,
trying to influence votes.
1609
01:43:36,205 --> 01:43:38,005
Do you know what
the real story is?
1610
01:43:38,130 --> 01:43:40,130
Foreign influence
in American elections.
1611
01:43:40,202 --> 01:43:43,202
Do you know what
I found out since--?
1612
01:43:46,376 --> 01:43:48,376
That's what's going in
next week, anyway.
1613
01:43:48,525 --> 01:43:49,925
I don't believe this!
1614
01:43:49,926 --> 01:43:51,952
Even I think Sam and Claire's
a terrific story.
1615
01:43:51,953 --> 01:43:54,445
I hate the idea of it--
1616
01:43:54,571 --> 01:43:57,071
You're not getting
human on me, are you?
1617
01:43:57,622 --> 01:43:59,225
Hey.
1618
01:44:02,155 --> 01:44:05,155
I don't believe this.
You're not blushing, are you?
1619
01:44:10,039 --> 01:44:12,339
- Hmm?
- Excuse me.
1620
01:44:14,177 --> 01:44:16,577
Certainly, one of the big
surprises of this election night--
1621
01:44:16,678 --> 01:44:18,278
and we're having
a lot of them--
1622
01:44:18,412 --> 01:44:20,958
was the apparent second-place
finish by an independent...
1623
01:44:20,959 --> 01:44:23,062
...running for the Senate
in Ohio.
1624
01:44:23,192 --> 01:44:24,593
Phillip Aarons,
not long ago,
1625
01:44:24,784 --> 01:44:27,284
was an unknown
college History professor.
1626
01:44:27,392 --> 01:44:30,572
He has been beaten by
Michael Westbrook, a republican,
1627
01:44:30,573 --> 01:44:32,973
but now clearly,
and some say, miraculously,
1628
01:44:33,454 --> 01:44:35,601
he will finish ahead
of Jerome Cade...
1629
01:44:35,602 --> 01:44:38,502
...in a contest that
no-one had predicted.
1630
01:44:39,582 --> 01:44:41,582
As you can hear,
the excitement and...
1631
01:44:41,638 --> 01:44:44,038
...enthusiasm here at
Phil Aarons' headquarters...
1632
01:44:44,171 --> 01:44:46,571
...is running high and wild.
1633
01:44:47,477 --> 01:44:49,480
You get the impression
from these young people...
1634
01:44:49,818 --> 01:44:53,118
...that their man has just won
the Presidency of the U.S.,
1635
01:44:53,237 --> 01:44:55,737
when in fact,
he lost an election.
1636
01:44:55,827 --> 01:44:59,227
Phil's phools fooled
the political experts...
1637
01:44:59,347 --> 01:45:02,347
...by catapulting their man
from a virtual unknown...
1638
01:45:02,403 --> 01:45:05,203
...to a second place
in the highly contested freeway...
1639
01:45:05,458 --> 01:45:07,458
We are number two!
1640
01:45:09,043 --> 01:45:11,943
Now, let's go to the podium
for the man of the hour,
1641
01:45:12,047 --> 01:45:13,951
in what many here
consider to be...
1642
01:45:14,101 --> 01:45:15,856
...a victory speech.
1643
01:45:17,618 --> 01:45:20,118
He's about to address
his cheering supporters...
1644
01:45:20,236 --> 01:45:22,236
...and the American public.
1645
01:45:23,141 --> 01:45:25,141
Good night.
1646
01:45:31,559 --> 01:45:34,559
Something that none
of the comentators,
1647
01:45:34,682 --> 01:45:36,707
none of the newspapers,
1648
01:45:36,857 --> 01:45:41,010
none of the so-called
"media wizards" predicted...
1649
01:45:41,011 --> 01:45:43,011
...came into this race.
1650
01:45:46,695 --> 01:45:48,195
Something...
1651
01:45:48,343 --> 01:45:50,943
...something human
came into this race.
1652
01:45:51,043 --> 01:45:54,943
Some straight talk,
some honest feeling,
1653
01:45:55,011 --> 01:45:57,611
something that wasn't slick
and prepackaged,
1654
01:45:57,746 --> 01:46:01,746
that wasn't engineered
by these media wizards,
1655
01:46:08,064 --> 01:46:09,864
We...
1656
01:46:12,441 --> 01:46:16,041
...we, together,
have achieved...
1657
01:46:16,106 --> 01:46:19,106
...that historic moment
in politics.
1658
01:46:19,924 --> 01:46:24,624
And we have come too far
to turn back now.
1659
01:46:36,480 --> 01:46:38,180
Tonight...
1660
01:46:39,361 --> 01:46:41,061
...tonight...
