i'm just looking for clarity here

oh yeah i don't have a problem with that

bring it on

water in the lungs and stomach over this

tension of the pulmonary alveoli so

pleural belay hemorrhage

did you weigh the heart of course

why do one test when i can get paid for

three

i checked the femur for diatoms the

distribution was even and systemic

diatoms what's that it's a one-celled

organism that enters the bloodstream

through the lungs if his heart was

beating when he hit the water there'd be

diatoms in his bone marrow and you found

them

so he drowned

you have 63 unheard voice messages first

message

tom i'm so sorry

[Music]

before we go to rideau hall and the

official swearing-in of mark levine i

would like to turn to jeffrey kingman

jeff

mark levine's career path has been

unconventional to say the latest very

much so

in his early years he was an ardent

separatist then he jumped ship and

entered the federal ranks

he's a man whose intelligence is as

fierce as his passion indeed he's a

firebrand and he's about to become this

country's next prime minister i

mark levine

do solemnly and sincerely promise and

swear

that i will truly

and faithful still no sign of the manzil

woman yeah to get here sir now we found

a life jacket but no sign of the body

yet

that river is full of sinkholes so

she'll surface eventually so what we

have here is a drowning tragic but

accidental nonetheless is that our

official position sir we have no

official position sergeant what we have

is a state funeral and an internal

review for which we need a lot of

answers which means we have a lot of t's

to cross and eyes to dot which is why i

need you here in ottawa thank you sir

okay

what

isn't that guy one time i don't know who

he said there are no accidents in

politics

i think it was roosevelt

the one with the big stick no no the one

with the wheelchair

[Applause]

nice working with you

see here

[Music]

and the dignitaries continue to arrive

at the basilica on sussex drive among

them the u.s delegation led by president

monroe the white haired gentleman is of

course randall spear the media baron

we take you now to the motorcade as it

makes its way to the basilica

[Music]

i got a good smear

[Music]

keith i assume you're seeing what i'm

seeing this is quite a breach of

protocol is it not yes it is brendo's

but that's tom mclaughlin a man who has

followed his own path

he's a rhodes scholar a divorcee he's

pursued a career in law and lived

something of a peripatetic life he's a

bit hard to pin down actually on the one

hand he's defended big tobacco and on

the other hand he's prosecuted war

criminals at the world court

[Music]

my

[Music]

i

am

[Music]

[Applause]

27 years ago my father articulated a

theme that would inform his long and

eminent public life

service

i'm sorry i

i have no doubt these words are

heartfelt but

i didn't write them

and i'm not sure that i'm

the truth is i have no idea

why my father entered politics

whatever his initial reasons however i

know that they changed and i know this

because i was there to see them change

ironically it was on a canoe trip

i was uh

i was not an easy teenager

and my mother

insisted

that my father take me on a paddle down

the great nahani river thinking it might

shake me into line

which it did

but as much as it shook me

it rattled my father to the poem

one night we

we sat on the bank of the river and we

watched this herd of caribou moving

through the valley

this

impossibly huge sun was setting

this equally huge moon was rising

[Music]

and i looked at my father and

[Music]

i could see that he was crying and i

said boy

[Music]

why are you crying

and he said because this is ours

all of this is part of our country

[Music]

and we carry that moment

my father and i

we carried that

[Music]

and from that point on

whenever he was presented with the

question what is canada my father never

had to search for an answer because he

knew

he knew that the question itself

is the answer

is your name teddy jackman

yes my name is teddy jackman and to

those who live among us and they do live

among us who would say what is so rare

about this nation that we should

struggle to preserve it

my father would say

[Music]

for shame

for shame

and he would buy them a ticket

on an airplane or

a train or a bus or a boat or he himself

would drive them to another country so

they can look back at their own nation

and see it for what it is see it

for its singular beauty

because we we are like the river we're

always moving and we are not set in

stone because even the hardest of stones

cannot endure

and the only thing that does endure is

change

the ever whirling

wheel of change

and we are not finished

we are not nearly finished we are not

remotely finished

no sir we are not

finished

[Music]

oh

[Music]

the internal review expects to hear from

teddy jackman the only one lachlan's

eulogy has prompted an outpouring of

sentiment nationwide mclaughlin struck a

deep emotional cord that's just the kind

of political gold campaigners have wet

dreams about

why the hell didn't you see this coming

down the track he wasn't scheduled to

speak sir it was a last-minute thing

it's like a shooting gallery this

country mark please calm down

the man says he has no interest in

politics but let's say that's a sham

what does the smart man do

he gets out in front of the problem

calls a convention and ratifies his

leadership

the nation needs stability

a cockroach can live for nine days

without its head why wait you have the

delegates

are they out of the house

they're packing as we speak

well

they all seem to love you my son you're

a palpable hit

now with you i take it

oh i thought it was a masterful piece of

[ __ ] and apparently

all off the curve well if you can call

an entire lifetime off the cuff i guess

it was

they're going to ask you to run

over my dead body

over your father's dead body you mean

how have you managed to keep it a secret

for so long

what

the fact that you're a battle ax

is it just me

or is this bun's rush slightly unseemly

you were only ever a tenant

true

but i've never been evicted before

and i can't say it agrees with me

he was no saint

we both know that

but underneath it all he loved us

[Music]

that was ryan he's in with provisions

but yeah give back a run that opens the

door in the maritimes and with mcconnell

that opens another one in the west dude

we can do this guys if we can get him to

run i'm in the sling we could be talking

about our next prime minister here

yes this is the new editorial policy and

i want to apply to all my assets that

includes the conventional broadcaster

the specialty channels and the 203

newspapers

water is the only story

pound the hell out of it

the u.s environmental protection agency

released figures today suggesting that

the drought in the u.s heartland is at

its worst polar icecap is at its

thinnest since the last ice age

according to a report tabled by the

northwest passage theoretically open to

heavy shipping concerns are being raised

about canonists for clarity's sake i

must stress to this review that the body

in water will float face down blood will

rush into the wounds which will be

naturally washed clean by the water

which makes it impossible to determine

whether the wounds were post or

perimortem further analysis of the

organ tissue thank you that's enough

i have no abiding interest in knowing

the contents of my husband's stomach

no tom

the liberating thing about being the

wife of a dead politician is that one no

longer has to engage in

hypocrisy

or accept condolences from a corrosive

little [ __ ] like you mark

and since you have unceremoniously

elected to kick me out of my house

you'll have to excuse me i've got bags

to pack

well

i'm sure that was as pleasant for you as

it was for me

but i thank you nonetheless it's a much

appreciated courtesy well that's the

least we could do sir if there's

anything else

i don't think so

although i suppose i i should take your

cards

f.i.t

forensic investigation team sir

thank you sergeant collins

tom

your father

he's the reason i'm no longer a

separatist

he's a great man

you know how i feel

no mark can't say that i do

you kicked this great man's wife out of

her house with barely enough time to

pack

[Music]

spectral final trace deposit angle the

gunner in the midsection

did you match blood type yeah same type

as menzel's but wasn't a gusher and like

that i'm talking teeny weeny so it could

have been a paper cut a broken blister

tells us nothing right tells us she was

in the boat

sergeant collins

yeah

hi hi

what's up richard cesas

uh look i really don't want to step on

anybody's toes here but

you want us to check make sure there's

no

jurisdictional overlaps i understand

we're looking at an accident that

resulted in one confirmed drowning and

one presumed

nothing out of line

hematology prince

tissue

anything else

i think you just might be stepping on

the toes they're done

i hear you i'll i'll step out

uh mind if i check in with you

time to time i'll be my guest

appreciate it

good hunting

i just hate those spooks me too

we don't call them spooks anymore we

call them freaks

you can see it sir you can see it as

well as we can the country's drifting

it's wounded tsx is down 700 plus as of

today and the dollar shaking like an old

lady we've been checking the poll number

sir and they're unbelievable even on

crosstabs you hit a home run in that

church that's what we need this country

needs a home run i appreciate your

enthusiasm guys but for all you know i

could be another tupper supper he was pm

in the 1800s less than two months and

seven days

as i would not be a slave so i would not

be a master

abrahamling

you make a great case guys but i'm not

your man

sorry

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

hi it's sergeant collins for tom

mclaughlin come in sergeant

it's not quite the official residence

but we call it home

how do you find fingerprints if

something's been under water

we put it in a vacuum chamber and missed

it with gold dust it raises the rich

patterns

hmm

but you only found one set of prints and

jackman said that

he passed the paddle to manzel who in

turn passed it to my father jackman

cleared the polygraph sir why weren't

manzel's prince on the paddle maybe she

was wearing gloves or uh

long cuffs

you're like a mystery don't you

is that a segue or a conclusion

it's neither

i asked you here because i wanted to

thank you for your contributions to the

review

in particular for the details you chose

to omit

i refer to ms manziel

my father's lexicon canoe trip had a

unique definition

it's not something my mother needs to

know about so

thank you

are you gonna run sir

for public office you mean no i don't

think so you'd vote for me well i i

thought the tribute to your father was

very moving doesn't mean you vote for me

do you even vote

i could be persuaded

i see and would that persuasion be a

difficult undertaking

not if you stay on message

aren't you saying

are you saying i could put a sign on

your lawn

if i had a lawn yes you could

so in the interest of healing our

country's wounds i will request the

national executive of our party to call

a leadership convention at the earliest

possible convenience okay

[Music]

well

you got what you wanted

did i

oh please

i'm your mother

as i recall you were the one who didn't

want to move

[Music]

god help you

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Music]

berger it's mclaughlin

get yourself some heavy-duty sneakers

we're gonna run

[Music]

we welcome those viewers just tuning in

to what is proving to be one of the most

exciting conventions in many years

to put you in the picture gary kleiber

has just pulled out of the race freeing

his some 280 delegates charles amore

what does that do to our projections

well michael we have three men standing

mark levine cam richie and tom

mclaughlin and the spread is very close

making clyburn's withdrawal critical it

frees up 280 delegates all right

there's over 280 votes out there people

and every one of them's up for grabs

let's go go go let's do it i think we

can safely say those liberated delegates

will have no trouble finding a date

tonight to have a clan

no michael they're everyone's favorite

drink right now and in my experience

that drink is three-part seduction and

two parts arm twister for a second stop

thinking about this guy and listen to

what i'm saying to you for a long time

[Applause]

just reeled in grossman that's five more

potentially 622. this is insane this is

totally out of control who's your daddy

it's a mad house out there

let them

those

boys

run it

it's what they do

i might win hmm

and then what

i love because he's a flow head of hair

and he's just like the country's most

eligible bachelor and he's a virgin but

not in that in the union

youth and vigor versus asian experience

anthony isn't that about the way you see

the fault line well yes i do michael uh

and certainly the youth vote in

mclaughlin's convincing by-election

victory supports that but there's

another factor at play here and that's

the

odium that lingers around levine's

separatist past

i'll give him some goddamodium mark

please stop this what do you want want

me on my hands and knees begging to cam

rich here man that spits on the side of

me leave richie to me when we need him

we're really men

[Applause]

hey it's collins

i was wondering when you'd call what

have you got it's what i don't have

that's bothering me i went to a second

opinion on pathology my guy won't commit

it's an open door

there's only one set of prints on the

paddle and uh they belong to jackman

want to send me those reports why don't

i just bring them to you

[Music]

i've been doing a little digging myself

look at this our man jackman

i'm just a river guy the man is hardcore

can you repeat that michael it's pretty

loud down here on the floor are you

sensing the shift in momentum

the excitement in the mclaughlin camp is

crazy

charles put us in the picture well

michael our unofficial head count has

mclaughlin carrying most of clyburn's

delegates which would give him something

around 39

and levine is sitting at 42. it's close

no question is richie in the driver's

seat ivy i would say so the big question

is what does cam richie want this isn't

going to come cheap

richie is a man of integrity

that's just a polite way of saying kick

me

it's a typical wasp lots of buzz no

sting

[Applause]

vayne's making a move i'm richie

okay so we got a joke you got to make

richie a counter off not an offer a

question okay what does he want and if

he wants the store you give it to him

who is thinking fisheries

what fish

defense

or army finance what money

you know cam a man is the sum of his

compromises

can't play the game if you're standing

on the sidelines

you know how this is supposed to go

right in exchange for your support i'm

supposed to offer you a cabinet post

i'm not gonna do that

then why should i support you because

i'm not gonna do that

jackman said they tipped in here

that's where they found the prime

minister's body in that eddy over there

25 times i've done this and this dummies

exact same proportions as the pm

but it never ends up there

25 times you've done this

yep and as yet there's still no word

from richie's cat you don't like in here

michael i see cam richie's head of this

ring

mr richie what can you tell us well

monsieur levine's parliamentary record

speaks for itself

[Music]

[Applause]

but you know brenda

sometimes we forget this is about

democracy and democracy is not a

political machine it's an attitude of

the mind are you saying levine offered

you a backroom deal sir i'm saying my

heart goes to the honest man always has

and i believe the democratic attitude of

mind honestly burns inside

tom mclaughlin

[Applause]

you told me you could be bought

so i made a mistake

you sold me down the river

politics is a rough game

the mclaughlin team is understandably

excited michael cam richie's endorsement

gives them a fighting chance here but of

course it all comes down to the ballot

box

this hall is about to explode charles

that's too close to call michael 40 or

50 votes we'll decide this thing yeah

she'll have to go all the way back to

1919

to find the leadership contest this

close mackenzie king defeated fielding

by a margin of only 38 votes

[Music]

not exactly living large is he

if you're looking for teddy you're out

of luck and like it's not even hunting

season where is he going hunting season

he's got a camp outside of madawaska

or so he says

you find him shoot him for me i'll even

pay

and faithfully

and to the best of my skill and

knowledge

gsr positive

[Applause]

mark

i i just

for god's sake look at me

maybe you could try tomorrow

thank you

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

morning everybody we have a very crowded

agenda and a very short mandate so i'm

gonna dispense with formalities and we

will dive right in jim what you have in

front of you represents the executive

slate for the next 30 days coded by

department and accompanied by timeline

and i will deal with details on an

individual basis as we move forward

but today i would like to jump on a

couple of hot button issues first up is

orazac trust and those

charming mafiosi from belarus

where is my solicitor general mark

living

well let's pray to god it's not terminal

i'll throw this over to finance cam

do we have these mobsters in a box yes

we do sir under c22 chapter 17 proceeds

of crimea melville let's pull the

trigger

as of tomorrow end of day all assets of

orozak trust will be frozen and seized

any objections good next the ongava

compact

now this was one of my father's better

pieces of legislation and i failed to

understand why it is sitting on a shelf

i believe it got bogged down at the

regulations stage shouldn't have been

it's good for the first nations it's

good for the country so it's coming off

the shelf all orders and council

relating to pc 1321 will be enacted and

i want them gazetted by this time

tomorrow any objections

good next the one issue that will

undoubtedly

kill us all

healthcare

prime minister mclaughlin tabled an

ambitious agenda that recalls much of

his father's action represents a major

breakthrough for the first nation the

assets of orozak trust should be

funneled through general revenue but

mclaughlin bypassed that law by writing

a check in the same amount nice move tom

the time the good guys got their piece

of the pie

[Music]

president monroe will be calling it 0-8

to confirm details of our first state

visit meeting kofi and ann at the u.n at

0 9 30 search just a purely social visit

just to meet and greet

all right thanks jim gather around guys

this is as far as you go i'm gonna make

some changes cars will take you back to

the office on your desk you'll find

three postings options

council's general your choice

compensation more than agreeable

what we want

this isn't personal guys

it's just governance

friends are friends

business is business sorry fellas

there was a major shakeup of the pmo

today as the prime minister replaced his

chief advisors incoming staff include

deirdre mills a recent media advisor to

tony blair nate morgan a specialist in

corporate turnaround and doug mckay who

lately mediated for the world bank on

third world debt relief the country also

has a new clerk of the privy council the

office that oversees the vast civil

service like to uh extend my gratitude

to the prime minister and underline my

dedication to smoothing relations

between the bureaucracy

i'm sorry the public service and our

elected officials

we use 500 times the water than the

average swiss citizen one thousand times

out of someone in pakistan let's face it

people we are water pigs

a spokesman said that the manufacture of

one computer microchip required 500

gallons of water if the municipality

can't guarantee the water supply oil

producers alberta ranchers toe-to-toe

and it's all about

water is the thing that dominates the

agenda of the burnham woods institute

gathering of the world's wealthy and

pound almost 400 million acres are in

drought

eighty percent of china's rivers are

unfit for human consumption

and fifty percent of our cities are in

water shortage

to underscore the problem

the yellow river didn't reach the sea

for

253 days last year the bullet removed

the soft palate that entered the cranial

cavity and shredded the brain stem so

cause of death is gunshot oh my yes of

course but he was going to die anyway

you see these string formations

repeat that string formations yeah

string formations on the liver well

that's from drinking right

is he a joint i'm sure he was but this

is cancer terminal

two months at the outside

okay

jackman had the cancer leah

the guy was dying

thanks

i will choose the time and place of my

own demise

it's odd word demise

it's almost antique

griffology has confirmed it as his

handwriting

and there's still no sign of this uh the

woman's body

madeline manziel no not yet sir

filled with remorse dying anyway makes

sense i guess

so this is

oh what is that hideous word we overuse

these days uh closure

well such a thing is

possible the downside of course is that

you will no longer visit me

that made you uncomfortable

not entirely prime minister would you

mind not doing that

what sir calling me prime minister it's

very

bulky

i'm really not very good at this am i

by this you mean talking to you

well good men never are

maybe it's just my gun

[Laughter]

you saying i'm gun shy

maybe

i was married you know

i'm not anymore and uh

i think it's largely my fault i'm very

driven and

judgmental

anyway it ended poorly so

i may be a little gun-shy

can i ask you about that scar

i don't know you very well

no that's true

so uh

maybe you and i could

sorry

yep the internal reviews tabling their

results sir in spite of the reviews

conclusion that this tragedy was

accidental

we have undertaken a number of measures

in addition to resignations

and disciplinary action we will begin

implementation of the new security

protocols as outlined in appendix c

justice green's exhaustive report

at least he did up till teddy snuffed it

do you happen to know what mr pritchard

did for a living

who is pritchard

what did he call himself

well

now this ain't no charity

50 bucks worthy cause help us with the

new

building guy's name is halt

lieutenant daniel holt

the ungava compact was mclaughlin's

senior sped project

yes it was and the pmo pushed it hard it

passed both houses without problem then

it sat on the shelf

but their eggs and orders and council

were written up weren't they yes but

they were red flagged and never

implemented the bill just sat there

until tom the younger dusted it off and

signed all the ocs and here's where it

gets kind of interesting

one of the main environmental

negotiators on the bill was also the

main architect of the orders and council

who madeline manziel

the woman presumed to have drowned

[Music]

are my blacks back from the cleaners

how's this for an idea what do you say

we clear some of the rhetorical [ __ ] off

the table

the mother of all bills is coming due

and it has a name

it is called health care

and no matter what you as the premier of

ontario or you as the premier of quebec

claim publicly we all know that you are

running deficits in double digits your

fiscal houses make uganda look flush

eventually you're gonna turn to me well

my friends

the bank is empty

so you've brought us here for abuse no

i invited you here to propose a way out

two birds with one stone healthcare

equals hydroelectricity plus

x

and what's x

we share a common resource

one that could provide us all with

sustainable wealth but we will have to

be brave

are you talking about water

the voters would kill us and the first

nations would carve us up

i believe you were all familiar with

grand chief blackfire the assembly first

nations

is cecilia

it's nice to be finally at the table

oh it's

just a security precaution

we none of us leave this table until we

have an agreement at least in principle

cut to the trees tell me about order in

council 1451 well as i read it from now

on anytime a federal project involves

first nations land the requirement for

environmental impact assessment is

minimal minimal as in minimal isn't gone

as long as the contractor has native

partners they don't have to do

environmental impact studies the hell

would allow that well nobody in their

right mind and that's why matthew

mclaughlin would flag it but here's the

thing when his son took it off the shelf

the other day all of manzel's original

wording state nothing was changed not

one word

and the effect is

take a look at one artery council 32102

it assigns a joint federal provincial

contract for the construction of a hydro

corridor to a company called cantron

steel where is this hydra corridor

northern quebec and it runs through

crenation lands now because of the

umgava compact it's not obligated to the

usual environmental impact cities

these specifications make no sense

300 yards wide 60 feet deep and the

whole thing to be fenced

this is not a hydra corridor

then what is it minister i have no idea

this is not for hydro electricity

okay here we go department of national

defense army service records halt d

lieutenant

peacekeeping tours in cyprus kosovo

kosovo

jesus

special ops training

22nd ses herfensher

seconded to jtf2

oh god

what don pritchard aka daniel holt was

involved in a car bombing kabul three

years ago

listed as k.i.a wait a minute

our guy is a dead guy officially

our guy is a dead guy

mark

what's wrong this stupid machine it's

all pop-ups then i click on

more pop-ups

what is the ijc

it's the international joint commission

i think

they regulate boundary watchers no yeah

they oversee things like um

the great lakes for example

it's bilateral it's u.s and canada

we are point three there point three has

there been anyone in the house today

no just me

is something wrong um

can you send someone from mighty over

here i've got a computer problem also

can you pull out the recent appointments

to the international joint commission

thank you

what's happening

i don't know

i checked out the ijc appointments two

of them were meaningless the third alec

davies that's a different story

wasn't davey's a consultant on the free

trade negotiations back in the 80s he

was there when water fell off the table

after that he took over his ceo for a

company called international water and

power

that's an american company traded on the

big board

davies built the company up and left it

last year no parachute

international water and power secured

future contracts on water supply to 23

municipalities in the u.s sun belt

find me someone an environment

someone we can trust

someone in the basement

let the ugg know that we're sympathetic

to the grain subsidy and here's a lulu

15 million for a museum of dental

implements bounce that one back to

heritage

so how are we playing out there you've

got several tracking poles on your desk

sir it's looking good the ground is off

the water issues playing i think we're

in pretty good shape what did we bring

in the u.s i think we wait till the

state visit there is one other concern

sir

we've been crunching the calendar and

we're getting worried about the timeline

and by law your father's mandate runs

out in six months we don't think that

six months is enough time to get

everything done

you're saying we might have to call an

election it's a possibility

you know an outstanding homosexual once

said the democracy simply means the

bludgeoning of the people by the people

for the people

let's do a little bludgeoning

huh

[Music]

ugh

[Music]

you're up

i never sleep huh me neither

[Music]

what's wrong

i

i was just with your father

i was

i was with him in the water

[Music]

i don't know how much you know about

water sir but what i know is that we are

all downstream we are the only nation on

the planet that has refused to ratify

water as a human right at the u.n human

rights commission strange huh

maybe not so strange if you take a

snapshot of north america

this

is the breadbasket of the us

it is fed by the ogallala aquifer

580 000 square miles of an underground

lake left after the last ice age now

back in 1914 there were less than one

thousand drills mining that water today

there are over two hundred thousand

the water table is dropping by six

meters per year it'll dry up in ten

years

moving west

virtually every river has been damned or

diverted they're all drying up and the

reservoirs are filling up with silt

you see

water is a zero-sum game if you're

running out you basically only have four

choices find another source reduce

consumption lower the population or

steal it

our current trade agreements made step

legal

back to source

something else would have to feed the

bread basket like the mississippi river

or the missouri but they in turn have to

be bed which brings us to the great

lakes

but

you can't just

drain the great lakes so you look

further north where you find james bay

it was called the grand canal project

the plans were drawn up in the 60s

build a causeway across the top

divert the rivers into the bay

force the salt water out

convert this into a fresh water

reservoir the size of lake superior

build a corridor to pump this fresh

water over the shield into the great

lakes

drain the great lakes feed the bread

basket

oh

it doesn't stop here though the whole

49th parallel is lining up lake of the

woods over to lake winnipeg to the

rafferty alameda dam to the old mandam

and finally the fraser watershed

it's one big reservoir waiting to be

drained

but thank christ it's never going to

happen right i mean you you'd have to be

some kind of evil genius to pull that

one off

because first you'd have to secure the

water contracts to pay for it and you'd

have to find a way around the

environmental impact assessments and

then

you'd have to stack the international

joint commission

yeah

like that's ever going to happen

[Music]

analysis confirms that the rock

fragments in manzel's cow came from the

river

what else well we ran the bone marrow

for diatoms we didn't find any

none none

she was dead before she hit the water

blunt forced trauma to the back of the

head very strong blow

there were three people in that canoe

jackman had rock caved in the back of

mantle's head the prime minister

panicked tried to jump out of the

held him underwater till he was dead

this is now a murder investigation

i had no choice but to keep the cabinet

in the dark

the emotions that swirl around the issue

of water so primal they preclude

reasonable debate but i implore you mark

look at it rationally we are still a

nation that hews wood and draws water

there isn't a thing that we don't pull

out of the earth hack off the ground all

out of the ocean so we don't sell we

don't sell water

[ __ ] we don't

we sell 200 million liters of bottled

water into the united states every year

we treat it as a commodity

and next month the grievance will come

before the nafta tribunal claiming just

that and under nafta if something is

considered a commodity it can't be

withheld from market it's a bullet to

the head and they're probably going to

win and there is nothing any government

can do about it

i didn't make this bed mark but it is

the one i sleep in

from free trade to gat the wto to nafta

it is a straight line to this

conversation and no [ __ ] around

in two weeks the epa will release a

report revising their estimate for when

the ogallala aquifer runs dry

downward

to eight years

they will need water and when they need

it they will take it and that puts us in

the [ __ ] unless we can do a deal now

dictate the terms manage the resource

and exact a price that will sustain this

nation into the future because the

alternative

there is no [ __ ] alternative

we could tell the

truth it's not an alternative that's a

failure of leadership

you know your father used to love this

park

we often come here when there were big

decisions to be made

never talked just

walked

i'm counting

[Music]

mark for the love of god is nothing

sacred we are talking about water

and so is every newspaper and tv station

and radio station you think they

stumbled across this idea on their own

no

was handed to them

mclaughlin has framed the question and

the question is this

your neighbor is thirsty would you deny

him a glass of water no i won't deny him

a glass of water but i will give him a

glass of water not sell him a glass of

water it's the core of life

how can that become a commodity if a

country any country mark opens that door

that door cannot be closed that country

will be lost you're hysterical i miss

damn you mark

you're going to let him do this

we've been partners for 22 years

if you think i'm just going to roll over

for tom mclaughlin then we've wasted a

lot of time together

but i can't just snap my fingers matty

he's the prime minister

and if he wakes up tomorrow morning and

decides our official language as swedish

we'll be speaking swedish by lunch

his approval rating is in the 80s he

controls the civil service that's a lot

of leverage me

i have what

the courts

the government can't sue the government

you can bring the government down for

that i need votes

to win a non-confidence i need all the

opposition and a lot of my own party

i don't have that many friends

what about this informant this person

who leaves you these notes i don't even

know who he or she is or or what side

they're on

i

i'm alone

and these politics are lethal

so in the end it's only about politics

in the end there is only politics

[Music]

find anything on manzel that river is

like god's washing machine we got

nothing on her clothes nothing on her

shoes

but we got her wallet

it contains the usual stuff and hey this

a clipping

from the far eastern economic review no

less

so we run at minus 200 degrees like

magic the ice crystals in the paper turn

into voila

is there any way we can enhance this

photo

not with a water mold but you know the

name of the publication and the date so

you could access their archives

[Music]

so

[Music]

tom mclaughlin

and madeleine menzel

health and welfare is reporting an avian

flu outbreak in southern saskatchewan

but leave it's contained and the west we

want us to frame up the agenda for the

dc visit

and finally uh

there's something we think you should

see sir

it's a copy of the manziel autopsy the

contents are disturbing

jesus

jesus christ

determination of death blunt force

trauma to the back of it

this woman didn't drown this woman was

how did we get a hold of this a secure

source

no one on the investigating team knows

we have this

okay um give me uh

just give me a minute here

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

they took my father and they drowned

them

but underneath it all he loved us

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

hi

i'm sorry i kept you waiting and i

hope this didn't seem like a summons or

can i uh would you

like a drink yes thank you

so what does your night hold sergeant

i'm thinking about a romantic evening

you know maybe dinner for one other wine

who knows i might get lucky

well you could uh accompany me

do a dinner at the chinese embassy

i don't think that would be a wise

career move sir

no

no

probably not

oh god who designs these things they're

diabolical

i understand you found manziel's body

that must be

grizzly

it is

what's the word uh

onomatopoeia

that's what a corpse is i think

and i can't help wondering what she was

like when she was alive

was she kind

was she funny

i wouldn't know i never met her

thank you

and so what were the results anyway of

the uh autopsy i mean

well it's not complete yet but uh

all the evidence is pointing towards

accidental drowning

well you won't be missing anything

tonight the chinese ambassador i'm told

only has one sentence in english which

is your country is beautiful and i have

only one sentence in cantonese which is

paul

what does that mean

means

i'm going to shoot my canon

[Music]

she lied

and i lied

this is a dirty shitty

game the black dog of politics finally

has you by the throat i am well and

truly caught

just like your father

no it's not quite the same

[Music]

it's like the worst thing my father ever

did and then add on then add on some

more and keep adding on

even then you won't get close

[Music]

i don't understand you

as long as i run this shop you never

will

[Music]

it's my burden

it's not yours

[Applause]

well another 25 000.

[Applause]

the simple question at the end 25 000

twice who made the donations

it's called an anonymous donation

because it's anonymous

fax instructions and the money was wired

directly to the trust account but no

conditions

only one

where the new hall opens it's called the

jackman branch

give me the transit number

it's

in the bank it came from or i will make

your life a goddamn nightmare

if this leaves my office

the law society will kill me

where's your fax machine

[Music]

the u.s environmental protection agency

released discouraging statistics

continues to plague america's heartland

where water rationing is in force in

over 32 counties mr mclaughlin was in

washington for a state visit today he

and president monroe met for more than

two i'm proud to announce that our

country

has a new friend

someone

we can do business with

we

talked about the war on terror

we talked about our mutual security

and i made a personal appeal to the

prime minister regarding the drought

that is currently choking our heartland

he has agreed to consider a one-time

only emergency measure whereby we would

take a tiny and i mean a tiny portion of

our shared great lakes and get it to

those folks who desperately

[Music]

and so it begins

[Music]

it's for you

[Music]

sir

i need your help

[Music]

a river guide with terminal cancer who

has since committed suicide

had a grudge against the prime minister

and killed him and is mr scarless

there's more sir

there's more

tom mclaughlin told me he had never met

ms manziel that's madeline manziel on

the right in that photo it was taken in

wuhan in central china it's a signing

ceremony for the three gorgeous dam

project

tom mclaughlin was working as a

consultant for the world bank and ms

manzel had written a series of

environmental disclaimers on loan

conditions for a company called uh

cantron steel

can trans to you

oh my god

you realize what we're talking about

don't you

only a couple hundred billion dollars in

the future of a country

madeleine manzel wrote a series of

regulations for a bill

that would have paved the way for a

massive project to sell water south

but the regulations were red flagged

probably by mclaughlin senior and the

bill was never implemented and then

one day he takes her on a canoe trip why

can't just be for sex no

he needs to talk to her

not just her those who are working above

her you're right

the canoe trip was just the pretext he

was trying to send a puppet masters a

message a warning

then he dies gets

killed jesus

and his son rises

and the whole scheme is alive and

cooking

kicking sir

and what i'm kicking

i'm gonna have to push mclaughlin and

see where this sleeps

what's your guess sir

i don't know

there was a fanatic one time an english

fanatic

he said

necessity hath no law

he beheaded a king

[Music]

[Music]

did this man jackman did he act alone we

don't believe so another man keeps

cropping up

uh lieutenant daniel holt he was jackman

superior in the airborne regiment but he

introduced himself to me as a ceaseless

agent

is he with ceases no sir

bolaf is out on him now but army records

indicate that he died in afghanistan

three years ago

there is a word for this is there not

yes there is prime minister it's called

assassination

[Music]

you know this house we're in

was built in 1866 by joseph merrill

courier

he was a lumberman

served as an mp

he built it as a wedding present for his

wife

christened it gorfwistfa

which i am told is a welsh word that

means peace

if i go public with this i could drive

them underground

for advice sergeant the time for that is

passed

what i need now is loyalty and support

been assassinated hi

a sandbox my

father measures had to be taken

my father's son

bottom of the ocean

[Music]

underwater you think you alone will

float

it's all or nothing tom you can't back

out now there is no plausible

deniability in kosovo the tigers would

mark you so the follow-up teams would

know which ones to kill and they would

mark you with an x right here like this

[Music]

under no

circumstances well i allow the

sovereignty and integrity of our great

nation to be imperiled

your government will meet this threat

with all the resources at its disposal i
