Is a night I'll never forget
11
00:02:36,703 --> 00:02:38,603
Some of the boys
got loaded drunk
12

And they ain't got sober yet

00:02:41,074 --> 00:02:43,542

a bottle was passed around

respect for Paddy Murphy

That's how they showed
their honor and their pride
19
00:02:56,156 --> 00:02:57,748
They said it was
a sin and shame
20
00:02:57,891 --> 00:02:59,483
And they winked
at one another
21
00:02:59,559 --> 00:03:01,322

tearing down the street

They went into an empty room
27
00:03:17,577 --> 00:03:19,169
And a bottle of whiskey stole
28
00:03:19,246 --> 00:03:21,180
They put the bottle
with the corpse
29
00:03:21,248 --> 00:03:22,840
To keep that whiskey cold
30
00:03:22,916 --> 00:03:25,316
That's how they showed
their respect for...
31
00:03:26,753 --> 00:03:28,311
They took the white
kid to the hospital.
32
00:03:28,455 --> 00:03:30,013

find out anyway.

by her staff badge.

Vernon Sando.

Yeah, I'll get
to it, Ferris.
80
00:06:52,025 --> 00:06:54,084
Because it's a great human interest
story. Yeah, human interest.
81
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,218
So what's the deal?
82
00:06:55,295 --> 00:06:58,287
Stagg's drug deal goes wrong,
and this guy just rides by?
83
00:06:58,364 --> 00:06:59,797
Yeah, something like that,
I think.
84
00:06:59,866 --> 00:07:01,128
That's a remarkable
feat of survival.

little bit of a zip code to it.

right?
87
00:07:04,971 --> 00:07:07,804

that this guy Vernon Sando

to read a couple of blogs

form an opinion.

be rocked with another bombshell.
160
00:10:46,993 --> 00:10:49,826
Speculation is rife
that Stephen Collins
161
00:10:49,896 --> 00:10:51,090
may have been
romantically linked

found dead this morning.

another political cloud...

be worse for Collins.

He needs all the political
leverage he can get

into the Defense Department's

00:21:45,584 --> 00:21:48,144
514A or 514B?
351
00:21:50,522 --> 00:21:52,956
It doesn't say. Is
there a big difference?
352
00:21:53,025 --> 00:21:56,722
Big enough. You looking for
Uniform Squad or Investigation?
353
00:21:58,263 --> 00:22:00,993
I don't know.
Cal McAffrey sent me.
354
00:22:02,167 --> 00:22:03,634
Why didn't you say so?
355
00:22:03,769 --> 00:22:05,236
You Cal's new assistant?
356
00:22:06,005 --> 00:22:07,336
No, I'm not.
357
00:22:08,207 --> 00:22:09,504
Hey, can I see that?
358
00:22:11,310 --> 00:22:13,710
Yeah, it's right
down the hallway here.
359
00:22:13,779 --> 00:22:14,768
Thank you.
360
00:22:14,847 --> 00:22:16,405
Like a police escort?
361
00:22:16,682 --> 00:22:18,343
No, I'm okay.
Thank you.
362
00:22:18,417 --> 00:22:21,545
Hey, no trouble. I'm just grabbing
some dinner here real quick.
363
00:22:21,620 --> 00:22:24,088
So, how long have
you known Cal?
364
00:22:24,156 --> 00:22:25,282
Too long.
365
00:22:30,963 --> 00:22:32,555
What's your title?
Okay, Sergeant,
366
00:22:32,698 --> 00:22:34,290
I can file
a public records request
367
00:22:34,366 --> 00:22:36,095
and get
the information anyway.
368
00:22:43,776 --> 00:22:45,209
You got nothing?
369
00:22:45,344 --> 00:22:46,811
No.
370
00:22:47,446 --> 00:22:50,108
They've got 56 cameras
covering the track platforms.
371
00:22:50,182 --> 00:22:52,616
There are three blind spots
in the entire system,
372
00:22:52,685 --> 00:22:54,880
and Sonia Baker went
down in one of them.
373
00:22:54,953 --> 00:22:56,682
You got copy for me, Cal?
374
00:22:56,755 --> 00:22:58,985
The shooting delivery guy,
what are we doing?
375
00:22:59,058 --> 00:23:00,116
I'm on it.
376
00:23:00,192 --> 00:23:02,217
Well, I got Marty lined up to
take some pictures of the family.
377
00:23:02,294 --> 00:23:04,319
If you'd like, I can send
somebody out there with him.
378
00:23:04,396 --> 00:23:06,296
He can do the crying, you
can do the nuts and bolts.
379
00:23:06,365 --> 00:23:08,424
No. No need. I'm on it.
You'll have it tonight.
380
00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:09,967
You're on it.
381
00:23:11,270 --> 00:23:12,999
(EXHALING) Okay.
You know what you gotta do?
382
00:23:13,138 --> 00:23:14,867
Call Leon, all right?
383
00:23:14,940 --> 00:23:16,840
Just sort of push
him for the details.
384
00:23:16,909 --> 00:23:18,376
Ask him a few more questions.
You know...
385
00:23:18,444 --> 00:23:22,904
Nine suicides in 20 years. There
were five accidental deaths,
386
00:23:22,981 --> 00:23:24,346
three from people
trying to get their stuff
387
00:23:24,483 --> 00:23:25,848
off the tracks
before the train came
388
00:23:25,918 --> 00:23:28,409
and two of the psycho-on-stranger
pushing attacks.
389
00:23:28,487 --> 00:23:30,182
Did Collins sleep at
your place last night?
390
00:23:30,889 --> 00:23:32,516
What?
Hmm?
391
00:23:34,259 --> 00:23:36,989
I was just trying to
get my facts straight.
392
00:23:37,196 --> 00:23:38,220
(PHONE RINGING)
393
00:23:38,297 --> 00:23:40,527
Excuse me. Della here.
394
00:23:44,903 --> 00:23:46,393
Yeah, just a sec.
He's right here.
395
00:23:46,538 --> 00:23:48,028
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
396
00:23:49,675 --> 00:23:51,836
It's Anne Collins.
397
00:23:54,913 --> 00:23:58,178
Hey, I'm not at my desk at the
moment. Can I call you back?
398
00:23:58,684 --> 00:23:59,844
Yeah.
399
00:24:01,186 --> 00:24:04,246
You know, look into the two
psycho-on-stranger cases,
400
00:24:04,323 --> 00:24:06,518
see if anything correlates
or anything connects.
401
00:24:06,625 --> 00:24:07,614
Mmm-hmm.
402
00:24:09,194 --> 00:24:10,752
(PHONE RINGING)
403
00:24:16,368 --> 00:24:18,097
Hello?
CAL: Hey.
404
00:24:19,037 --> 00:24:20,527
You okay?
No.
405
00:24:21,774 --> 00:24:23,139
There are
paparazzi on my lawn,
406
00:24:23,208 --> 00:24:26,871
so I guess that entitles me
to half off on Us Weekly.
407
00:24:28,814 --> 00:24:30,076
I've been trying
to call you.
408
00:24:31,283 --> 00:24:33,012
I had my phone off.
409
00:24:33,786 --> 00:24:35,253
You talk to Stephen yet?
410
00:24:35,387 --> 00:24:36,854
No.
411
00:24:38,957 --> 00:24:41,892
They want me to come down
for a press conference.
412
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,452
Well, you know if you don't, they're
gonna toss him on the bonfire.
413
00:24:47,099 --> 00:24:48,760
You know,
I'm not that hurt.
414
00:24:48,901 --> 00:24:50,596
I'm not even that surprised.
415
00:24:52,504 --> 00:24:54,802
It's just so humiliating,
you know.
416
00:24:55,107 --> 00:24:56,096
(SIGHING)
417
00:24:57,709 --> 00:24:58,733
Tell me you
didn't know about her.
418
00:24:58,811 --> 00:24:59,903
I didn't.
419
00:24:59,978 --> 00:25:01,969
I did not know
about her, okay?
420
00:25:03,515 --> 00:25:04,709
I'll take the train down.
421
00:25:05,851 --> 00:25:07,842
Will you buy me
a drink after?
422
00:25:09,254 --> 00:25:13,054
Of course. Hey, just
call him, all right?
423
00:25:13,125 --> 00:25:14,820
Just call Stephen.
424
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,655
Thanks.
425
00:25:28,340 --> 00:25:29,967
CAL: Deshaun Stagg.
426
00:25:30,108 --> 00:25:31,769
Be nice if they could
spell his name right.
427
00:25:31,844 --> 00:25:33,368
No one's even come
to get his stuff yet.
428
00:25:33,512 --> 00:25:35,070
It's appalling.
429
00:25:35,147 --> 00:25:37,012
Never happen
to a white man.
430
00:25:37,082 --> 00:25:39,050
Skip it.
I'm not in the mood.
431
00:25:39,117 --> 00:25:40,880
What, no love,
no politics?
432
00:25:41,019 --> 00:25:42,782
What are we gonna talk about?
433
00:25:42,855 --> 00:25:44,482
We're not.
You gotta get out of here
434
00:25:44,623 --> 00:25:46,284
before we both
get into trouble.
435
00:25:48,093 --> 00:25:50,288
They're saying it was only
one shooter. What do you think?
436
00:25:50,362 --> 00:25:51,590
No idea.
437
00:25:53,498 --> 00:25:55,056
What about drugs?
438
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,792
It's a good bet.
439
00:25:57,569 --> 00:25:59,469
Come on, Cal,
leave that shit alone.
440
00:25:59,538 --> 00:26:02,166
Close your eyes. I'm just
checking out his cell phone.
441
00:26:03,742 --> 00:26:05,505
(SIGHING) Watch, this will be
the moment they decide
442
00:26:05,644 --> 00:26:07,407
to come and pick
all this shit up.
443
00:26:07,479 --> 00:26:09,572
Then what are you gonna do?
444
00:26:09,715 --> 00:26:11,842
Write some articles,
get me my job back?
445
00:26:11,917 --> 00:26:13,509
You know I will.
446
00:26:13,886 --> 00:26:15,114
Cal?
447
00:26:16,622 --> 00:26:19,455
Cal, for Christ's sakes, what
do I tell Jack if he walks in?
448
00:26:19,524 --> 00:26:21,492
Nothing, 'cause I'm done.
449
00:26:25,330 --> 00:26:27,798
I'll give you a hug
next time, all right?
450
00:26:29,534 --> 00:26:30,592
Bye.
451
00:26:37,209 --> 00:26:38,870
Buy me a soda?
452
00:26:42,180 --> 00:26:43,408
Not diet.
453
00:26:54,192 --> 00:26:55,352
Thanks.

Yo, yo, if you want to leave
a message for Kippy,

00:27:03,969 --> 00:27:05,459
make sure you leave
your number, all right?
457
00:27:05,537 --> 00:27:07,869
That way I can call you back.

It's me, man. Who that?

Me who? Bitch, you the one
got your number blocked!

Don't be fronting me, man.
It's Deshaun. Come on.

00:27:26,358 --> 00:27:27,450
No.
Where you at?
465
00:27:27,526 --> 00:27:29,460
Who the hell gave
you my number, fool?
466
00:27:29,528 --> 00:27:31,052
I was just talking to Kippy.

Hi. You've reached
Sonia Baker.
470
00:27:46,278 --> 00:27:47,609
I can't take
your call right now,

but if you leave
your name, number,
472
00:27:49,147 --> 00:27:52,344
and the time you called, I'll be
sure to get back to you. Thanks.

Hi. You've reached
Sonia Baker.
474

I can't take
your call right now,

but if you leave
your name, number,

and the time you called, I'll be
sure to get back to you. Thanks.

Sonia Baker.
479
00:28:25,350 --> 00:28:27,284
We got any kind of
drug angle on her?
480
00:28:27,352 --> 00:28:29,718
She ever arrested or rehabbed
or anything like that?
481
00:28:29,788 --> 00:28:31,619
Who's asking?
Me.
482
00:28:32,124 --> 00:28:34,149
You're not on the story.
483
00:28:34,226 --> 00:28:36,126
I gave you
the Metro tapes idea, right?
484
00:28:36,628 --> 00:28:38,027
Yeah.
485
00:28:38,964 --> 00:28:42,491
So are you trying to ruin
what's left of her reputation?
486
00:28:43,435 --> 00:28:45,403
Are you doing
this for Collins?
487
00:28:45,537 --> 00:28:47,505
A little context on Sonia?
488
00:28:49,608 --> 00:28:51,542
You gotta be kidding.

Sure. Hey, Jay!

I need a chili cheeseburger, a chili
cheese fry, and a chili half-smoke.

I got the burger on!

00:29:30,348 --> 00:29:31,372

How's it going, Happy?
499
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,638
That's a long way to
go for another soda.
500
00:30:00,011 --> 00:30:03,947
You want to buy something from
the last bag Deshaun ever stole?
501
00:30:04,449 --> 00:30:05,916
I need 500 bucks.
502
00:30:24,402 --> 00:30:25,562
Did you get the train okay?
503
00:30:25,704 --> 00:30:26,864
What?
504
00:30:26,938 --> 00:30:28,997
Did you get on
the train all right?
505
00:30:29,141 --> 00:30:31,200
Get through.
Everything okay?
506
00:30:32,611 --> 00:30:34,909
You're gonna
make small talk?
507
00:30:40,185 --> 00:30:42,813
(CLEARING THROAT) I will go
check on the arrangements.
508
00:31:01,006 --> 00:31:02,337
I'm sorry.
509
00:31:09,748 --> 00:31:11,875
It doesn't have to be
a detailed statement.
510
00:31:12,017 --> 00:31:14,952
Short and dignified,
and we'll be out of here.
511
00:31:15,020 --> 00:31:17,750
Dignified. Got it.
512
00:31:26,298 --> 00:31:28,289
MAN: Ladies and gentlemen, thank
you for joining us here today.
513
00:31:28,366 --> 00:31:31,529
Mr. And Mrs. Collins would like
to give you a brief statement.
514
00:31:49,287 --> 00:31:51,983
GIRL: Deshaun boosted
this metal briefcase
515
00:31:52,123 --> 00:31:54,819
from some guy
outside of Starbucks.
516
00:31:55,694 --> 00:31:57,924
That's what we did,
you know?
517
00:31:59,297 --> 00:32:02,698
Grab a guy's bag and
sell it back to him.
518
00:32:07,572 --> 00:32:11,565
Usually we just got, like,
people's business papers and shit.
519
00:32:12,544 --> 00:32:15,445
This one?
This one was different.
520
00:32:46,278 --> 00:32:48,576
GIRL: There was a gun
in there, too,
521
00:32:49,147 --> 00:32:52,605
and a little bag of these
weird-looking bullets.
522
00:32:54,085 --> 00:32:55,484
Did you see the guy
that owned the bag?
523
00:32:55,620 --> 00:32:57,019
No.
524
00:32:59,858 --> 00:33:03,157
I told Deshaun we shouldn't
sell this bag back.
525
00:33:03,695 --> 00:33:05,492
I mean, you know,
what about the girl?
526
00:33:05,563 --> 00:33:08,930
But he needed
a fix real bad,
527
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,562
and he and this guy figured
out a time and place.
528
00:33:13,638 --> 00:33:15,435
And that was it.
529
00:33:18,677 --> 00:33:20,645
My boy never came back.
530
00:33:21,413 --> 00:33:23,973
You took these out of
the briefcase first,
531
00:33:24,616 --> 00:33:26,846
and then you called her
from Deshaun's phone.
532
00:33:26,918 --> 00:33:28,909
Her number was there, too.
533
00:33:29,521 --> 00:33:31,489
I figured someone
had to warn her
534
00:33:31,556 --> 00:33:33,820
that this psycho was
following her around.
535
00:33:35,393 --> 00:33:37,327
She just didn't pick up.
536
00:33:38,096 --> 00:33:40,462
Mr. Collins moved to
staunch a growing tide
537
00:33:40,598 --> 00:33:42,998
of hostility towards him
this afternoon
538
00:33:43,068 --> 00:33:44,501
when he appeared
together with his...
539
00:33:44,569 --> 00:33:46,093
...the long line of
politicians' wives.
540
00:33:46,171 --> 00:33:48,867
We've had triumphs
and disappointments,
541
00:33:48,940 --> 00:33:51,408
and we've both made mistakes
that have caused...
542
00:33:51,476 --> 00:33:56,209
MAN: Apologize for his affair and
offer an apology to his constituents.
543
00:33:56,281 --> 00:33:57,680
Can you believe this?
544
00:33:57,749 --> 00:33:59,512
We're on six channels
simultaneously.
545
00:34:00,018 --> 00:34:02,384
CAL: Who might have
wanted Sonia dead?
546
00:34:03,421 --> 00:34:05,150
What? Is there something in her history,
547
00:34:05,223 --> 00:34:06,417
you know, something you
haven't told me about?
548
00:34:06,491 --> 00:34:09,426
Some connections that might
have got her in trouble?
549
00:34:09,494 --> 00:34:13,260
No. No, no. Wait, who...
550
00:34:13,331 --> 00:34:14,320
Am I talking to
my friend now,
551
00:34:14,466 --> 00:34:15,490
or am I talking
to a reporter?
552
00:34:18,236 --> 00:34:19,828
I gotta be both.
553
00:34:19,904 --> 00:34:22,304
You ever heard of a guy
called Deshaun Stagg?
554
00:34:22,374 --> 00:34:23,363
No.
555
00:34:23,441 --> 00:34:25,033
Was a kid. Minor criminal.
556
00:34:25,110 --> 00:34:28,841
Drug addict. Got shot and killed
the night before Sonia died.
557
00:34:28,913 --> 00:34:31,177
Cal, Sonia didn't have
anything to do with drugs.
558
00:34:32,083 --> 00:34:34,142
Look, Stephen,
I'm telling you things
559
00:34:34,219 --> 00:34:36,210
that I haven't even
discussed with the paper.
560
00:34:36,287 --> 00:34:38,255
Okay, you gotta
think about this.
561
00:34:38,390 --> 00:34:40,358
Who might have
wanted Sonia dead?
562
00:34:56,808 --> 00:35:00,710
CHRIS: Who is this man here in all
the photographs where she's crying?
563
00:35:00,779 --> 00:35:02,644
CAL: We don't know that yet.
564
00:35:03,982 --> 00:35:07,611
And what was her background before
she started working with Collins?
565
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:10,711
DELLA: Well, she has some very
random moments in her resume.
566
00:35:10,789 --> 00:35:13,189
She was... She
waitressed a couple times.
567
00:35:13,258 --> 00:35:15,249
She had
a string of bad debts.
568
00:35:15,393 --> 00:35:17,418
Shoplifting conviction
two years ago.
569
00:35:17,495 --> 00:35:19,463
Don't they do background
checks on the Hill?
570
00:35:19,531 --> 00:35:21,522
DELLA: She wrote position
papers for Collins
571
00:35:21,666 --> 00:35:23,691
about bank regulations
and the SEC.
572
00:35:23,768 --> 00:35:25,702
I mean, a lot of people
thought she was a star.
573
00:35:25,770 --> 00:35:29,706
She was also the lead researcher
on the PointCorp hearings.
574
00:35:30,475 --> 00:35:31,635
CAMERON: So?
575
00:35:33,578 --> 00:35:37,378
Stephen represents the loss of
a lot of money for those guys.
576
00:35:39,050 --> 00:35:42,508
Look, what if all of
this is just an attempt
577
00:35:42,587 --> 00:35:44,350
to marginalize
Stephen Collins?
578
00:35:45,990 --> 00:35:47,787
CAMERON: You've gotta love him
for it, haven't you?
579
00:35:47,859 --> 00:35:51,090
I mean, you give him 24
hours, body in the alley,
580
00:35:51,162 --> 00:35:52,823
and this geezer
will turn it into
581
00:35:52,964 --> 00:35:54,625
a full-blown
corporate conspiracy.
582
00:35:54,699 --> 00:35:55,825
You don't see
any connection?
583
00:35:55,967 --> 00:35:57,127
No.
584
00:35:57,669 --> 00:35:59,830
All right. Let's go
through what we know, okay?
585
00:35:59,904 --> 00:36:02,702
The guy that was
stalking Sonia Baker,
586
00:36:02,841 --> 00:36:05,639
he shot Deshaun Stagg
and Vernon Sando.
587
00:36:07,212 --> 00:36:10,978
Deshaun Stagg, of no fixed
abode, he boosts a briefcase.
588
00:36:11,049 --> 00:36:13,711
Now, in that briefcase
are these photographs,
589
00:36:13,785 --> 00:36:17,778
and according to our source, a
little baggie of weird bullets.
590
00:36:18,990 --> 00:36:20,321
Metro PD ballistics tell me
591
00:36:20,391 --> 00:36:24,157
the casings at the crime scene
were reloads, untraceable.
592
00:36:25,029 --> 00:36:29,329
The slugs were hand cast at twice
the weight of store-bought bullets,
593
00:36:30,168 --> 00:36:31,658
X'ed for expansion.
594
00:36:31,736 --> 00:36:34,466
So that means that the
shooter intended to kill.
595
00:36:36,107 --> 00:36:38,302
Stagg and Sando were
both double-tapped,
596
00:36:38,376 --> 00:36:41,004
one bullet in the spine, one in
the head. That is the mark of a pro,
597
00:36:41,079 --> 00:36:44,071
or at the very least, somebody
with a military background,
598
00:36:44,182 --> 00:36:46,173
perhaps even Special Forces.
599
00:36:46,718 --> 00:36:52,714
PointCorp founded by,
staffed by 100% ex-military.
600
00:36:55,393 --> 00:36:57,953
I think that's a
connection we can't ignore.
601
00:37:01,866 --> 00:37:04,699
Chris, how long before
we have to hand these over?
602
00:37:05,837 --> 00:37:08,271
CHRIS: Time to verify,
consult relevant case files,
603
00:37:08,406 --> 00:37:10,840
outside counsel,
48 hours, tops.
604
00:37:12,744 --> 00:37:16,077
But if this is evidence,
don't they need to see it now?
605
00:37:26,858 --> 00:37:28,348
How's he doing?
606
00:37:47,278 --> 00:37:49,143
Hey, you gonna let me know if
I gotta call the ID team, right?
607
00:37:49,213 --> 00:37:50,544
NURSE: I'll let you know.
608
00:37:55,420 --> 00:37:59,254
Walter Schroyer, Army buddy
of your libidinous friend,
609
00:37:59,324 --> 00:38:01,588
gives his moving tribute
to Stephen Collins
610
00:38:01,659 --> 00:38:04,651
in that asswipe excuse of
a paper and not to us. Why?
611
00:38:05,129 --> 00:38:08,064
CAL: Platitudes,
padding and fluff.
612
00:38:08,633 --> 00:38:10,692
I'm a journalist.
I'm not a publicist.
613
00:38:10,768 --> 00:38:12,099
CAMERON: I want to bring
some more people in
614
00:38:12,236 --> 00:38:13,567
to work with
you on this, Cal,
615
00:38:13,638 --> 00:38:16,607
on the political side,
people with real experience.
616
00:38:16,674 --> 00:38:18,039
I'm thinking Ted Moody.
617
00:38:18,176 --> 00:38:19,541
I mean,
Ted's perfect for this.
618
00:38:19,611 --> 00:38:22,136
Are you taking me
off the story?
619
00:38:22,213 --> 00:38:25,205
No, no.
Not off, just off point.
620
00:38:25,283 --> 00:38:27,513
If this is as big as he
says it is, a big "if,"
621
00:38:27,652 --> 00:38:29,916
then it's gonna
be good for you.
622
00:38:29,988 --> 00:38:31,956
How? How is that good?
623
00:38:32,023 --> 00:38:33,718
Well, watching
seasoned reporters
624
00:38:33,858 --> 00:38:35,553
that work on
a big story, you know,
625
00:38:35,627 --> 00:38:37,254
being a part of it all,
you'll learn a lot.
626
00:38:37,395 --> 00:38:39,056
So, Ted Moody,
what do you think?
627
00:38:39,130 --> 00:38:40,256
Don't let her do it.
628
00:38:40,331 --> 00:38:43,767
And, Cal, if you're on this, I want
this to be clean through and through.
629
00:38:43,835 --> 00:38:45,803
Tell her to forget it.
It's your gig.
630
00:38:45,937 --> 00:38:47,928
You got it. Get loud now.
631
00:38:48,506 --> 00:38:49,996
Excuse me.
You're defending her now?
632
00:38:50,074 --> 00:38:52,372
She's fine.
I can work with her.
633
00:38:52,910 --> 00:38:54,969
But, Cal,
she's inexperienced.
634
00:38:55,046 --> 00:38:56,172
Inexperience isn't fatal.
635
00:38:56,247 --> 00:38:58,374
I'm not giving up the story!
636
00:38:59,984 --> 00:39:02,544
I just... Sorry. I just...
637
00:39:02,620 --> 00:39:05,680
If I could just have
a few more days with it,
638
00:39:05,757 --> 00:39:08,555
I promise you I'm not
gonna let you down.
639
00:39:11,329 --> 00:39:13,058
For Christ's sake.
640
00:39:14,432 --> 00:39:16,764
Don't throw those dewy
cub reporter eyes at me.
641
00:39:16,834 --> 00:39:17,926
It's nauseating.
642
00:39:21,673 --> 00:39:22,799
And fuck you very much.
643
00:39:22,940 --> 00:39:24,066
Pleasure.
644
00:39:26,277 --> 00:39:28,177
This is Nurse Leif and
myself... The lab work's back.
645
00:39:28,246 --> 00:39:29,713
It's the panel 13 you ordered?
646
00:39:29,781 --> 00:39:32,272
Yeah, well, we called for
a neurologist a half hour ago.
647
00:39:32,650 --> 00:39:34,948
You can't use
that phone here, sir.
648
00:39:35,019 --> 00:39:37,385
Hey. What's up, Carnes?
How you doing?
649
00:39:38,156 --> 00:39:39,180
Yeah. Yeah.
650
00:39:39,323 --> 00:39:40,381
Looks like that
Sando guy's waking up.
651
00:39:40,825 --> 00:39:42,122
You sending anyone over?
652
00:39:48,766 --> 00:39:49,755
You ever been
to D.C. Hospital?
653
00:39:49,901 --> 00:39:50,925
No.
654
00:39:51,002 --> 00:39:52,765
Don't worry about it.
It's easy.
655
00:39:52,837 --> 00:39:55,897
CAL: All right, there's a uniformed
officer on the third floor ICU.
656
00:39:55,973 --> 00:39:57,838
Okay.
Write it down. Got a pen?
657
00:39:57,909 --> 00:39:58,967
Yes.
Here.
658
00:39:59,043 --> 00:40:00,476
I have a pen.
Okay.
659
00:40:00,545 --> 00:40:03,207
The uniformed officer's
name is Brown.
660
00:40:03,314 --> 00:40:04,338
Okay.
Brown.
661
00:40:04,415 --> 00:40:07,782
Third floor ICU. Tell
him that Detective Bynes,
662
00:40:07,852 --> 00:40:09,012
B- Y-N-E-S, Joe Bynes...
663
00:40:09,153 --> 00:40:10,313
Okay.
664
00:40:10,388 --> 00:40:11,980
All right,
he cleared you for access.
665
00:40:12,123 --> 00:40:13,750
Access for what?
666
00:40:14,625 --> 00:40:17,924
Vernon Sando, the pizza guy,
looks like he's coming around.
667
00:40:17,995 --> 00:40:19,724
That's your side
of the story.
668
00:40:19,797 --> 00:40:21,094
Excuse me?
669
00:40:21,232 --> 00:40:22,529
You heard me.
670
00:40:23,301 --> 00:40:26,134
You want me to go and sit
around in some hospital,
671
00:40:26,204 --> 00:40:29,765
waiting for a guy who looks like
he might be coming out of a coma,
672
00:40:29,841 --> 00:40:32,537
while you clean up
the rest of the story?
673
00:40:33,077 --> 00:40:35,978
I mean, is that what
that was all about in there?
674
00:40:36,047 --> 00:40:39,778
Look, this is a real story.
675
00:40:39,851 --> 00:40:41,614
It's not open
for interpretation.
676
00:40:41,753 --> 00:40:43,550
It does not require opinion.
677
00:40:43,621 --> 00:40:46,681
We got two dead bodies,
and we got a guy in a coma,
678
00:40:47,525 --> 00:40:49,322
and we got us with a lead
that nobody else has got.
679
00:40:49,393 --> 00:40:50,519
So you gotta make
a decision,
680
00:40:50,595 --> 00:40:52,256
because I have to follow
another lead tonight,
681
00:40:52,330 --> 00:40:55,026
and I cannot be in
two places at one time.
682
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,633
So, are you gonna
be okay slumming it
683
00:40:57,702 --> 00:40:59,897
to find out if Vernon Sando's
coming around or not?
684
00:41:03,174 --> 00:41:04,334
Good.
685
00:41:05,076 --> 00:41:09,604
If we're gonna work together,
we gotta work together.
686
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,375
Yeah? Deal?
687
00:41:18,189 --> 00:41:20,157
All right, see you later.
688
00:41:27,131 --> 00:41:28,120
(CROWD CHATTERING)
689
00:42:06,871 --> 00:42:08,202
Excuse me.
690
00:42:22,820 --> 00:42:25,345
Don't tell me
you're still lost.
691
00:42:25,423 --> 00:42:27,050
Hey, what are you
doing here?
692

You're Officer Brown?

00:42:32,597 --> 00:42:34,656
You're who I'm looking for.
695
00:42:34,732 --> 00:42:36,791
(CHUCKLING) I knew
you'd come around.
696
00:42:37,301 --> 00:42:39,565
(CELL PHONE RINGING) How about
Sando? Is he coming around?
697
00:42:39,637 --> 00:42:41,798
Yeah, yeah,
it looks that way.
698
00:42:41,939 --> 00:42:44,134
They're sending a
detective over right now.
699
00:42:44,208 --> 00:42:45,470
Maybe get an ID.
700
00:42:45,610 --> 00:42:46,872
Really?
701
00:42:47,912 --> 00:42:49,174
I gotta take this.
702
00:42:49,313 --> 00:42:50,575
Yeah, go ahead.
703
00:42:50,648 --> 00:42:52,479
Yeah, Officer Brown.

00:42:54,318 --> 00:42:55,376
No, sir.
705
00:42:56,187 --> 00:42:57,586
You okay?
706
00:42:59,690 --> 00:43:02,386
My dad did warn me
about politicians.
707
00:43:03,361 --> 00:43:07,354
The only people he hated
more was journalists.
708
00:43:09,634 --> 00:43:11,124
Smart man.
709
00:43:14,538 --> 00:43:16,199
I'm making you nervous.
710
00:43:16,340 --> 00:43:18,035
You always did.
711
00:43:20,177 --> 00:43:23,010
Well, they say sex is the
best way to ruin a friendship.
712
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,139
They do, do they?
And who's they?
713
00:43:25,283 --> 00:43:28,810
What, Cosmopolitan magazine?
Teen Beat?
714
00:43:28,953 --> 00:43:30,045
Come on.
715
00:43:31,222 --> 00:43:33,417
Tell me, please,
it didn't ruin ours.
716
00:43:33,557 --> 00:43:35,787
It hasn't ruined anything.

00:44:01,085 --> 00:44:05,146

00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,591
Miss, you cannot be in here.
I'd just like to

ask him a couple of questions.

No, I'm sorry.
Come on. Look.

You know you're not
supposed to be in here.

yours, right? What is it?

It's just
a little bit of blood.

we could have stopped this!

What, by being psychic?
748
00:45:42,787 --> 00:45:46,223
No. We should have given
the police that file.

What if there were
fingerprints on the photographs?
750

people get hurt like that.

you had these when?

I'll get on
the phone right now.

before we called outside counsel.

It's a little late.

This was it,

00:46:52,289 --> 00:46:54,450
and we've kept it
for less than a day.
777
00:46:55,459 --> 00:46:58,951
Detective, until last night, we
didn't actually know what we had here.
778
00:46:59,029 --> 00:47:00,394
Bullshit.

No, sir.

00:47:05,269 --> 00:47:07,134
You knew exactly
what you had.
782
00:47:07,204 --> 00:47:10,605
You just decided that your
need was greater than ours,
783
00:47:10,674 --> 00:47:12,301
and now you have
blood on your hands.

785
00:47:13,511 --> 00:47:14,535
CAMERON: Detective, look.
786
00:47:15,479 --> 00:47:17,276
The thesis that
we are pursuing
787
00:47:17,348 --> 00:47:21,842
involves a certain company that
Congressman Collins is investigating.
788
00:47:21,952 --> 00:47:23,920
DONALD: What, this is
corporate conspiracies
789
00:47:24,054 --> 00:47:26,045
that threaten
the highest levels?
790
00:47:26,123 --> 00:47:29,354
All my years on the job, I've
only ever seen that on TV.
791
00:47:29,426 --> 00:47:32,759
All the years I've known you, you've
only ever watched sports on TV.
792
00:47:32,830 --> 00:47:36,926
CAMERON: So, Detective, in
exchange for our cooperation,
793
00:47:37,001 --> 00:47:39,629
can we be assured that you
will open your books to us?
794
00:47:39,703 --> 00:47:41,762
Quid pro quo?
795
00:47:45,910 --> 00:47:48,174
If we decide to go public with
this, we'll give you six hours,
796
00:47:48,245 --> 00:47:49,405
but that's the end of it.
797
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,209
This is an open
homicide investigation.
798
00:47:51,282 --> 00:47:52,977
You slow us down,
endanger the public
799
00:47:53,117 --> 00:47:54,812
any more than
you already have,
800
00:47:54,885 --> 00:47:56,113
it won't be pretty.
801
00:47:56,187 --> 00:47:57,586
For the record,
I'm still not happy
802
00:47:57,655 --> 00:47:59,020
the way you presented
the evidence.
803
00:47:59,089 --> 00:48:01,785
I'm just gonna
put that out there.
804
00:48:05,362 --> 00:48:06,886
CAMERON: Police gossip
being what it is,
805
00:48:06,964 --> 00:48:08,864
I'm guessing that even
Entertainment Tonight
806
00:48:08,933 --> 00:48:11,731
will know as much as we do
within 48 hours.
807
00:48:11,802 --> 00:48:14,032
So we've gotta have
something solid today.
808
00:48:14,104 --> 00:48:16,629
That means no assumptions,
no unnamed sources.
809
00:48:16,707 --> 00:48:19,505
Not fast and loose.
I want this thing wrung out.
810
00:48:20,377 --> 00:48:24,040
Damned if we can't do a better
job of it than those cops.
811
00:48:25,616 --> 00:48:27,447
Della, how are you?
812
00:48:28,252 --> 00:48:29,412
I'm good.
813
00:48:29,954 --> 00:48:31,148
Yeah?
Mmm-hmm.
814
00:48:31,422 --> 00:48:32,548
Good, okay.
815
00:48:32,623 --> 00:48:33,715
Well, you take
Sonia Baker, okay?
816
00:48:33,791 --> 00:48:35,588
I want to know everything
that we can about her,
817
00:48:35,659 --> 00:48:38,423
who she knew, who she blew,
the color of her knickers.
818
00:48:38,495 --> 00:48:40,326
Got it.
PointCorp?
819
00:48:41,031 --> 00:48:42,362
Okay. Hank and Pete,
you work with Cal.
820
00:48:42,499 --> 00:48:43,864
Cool.
821
00:48:43,934 --> 00:48:45,492
The rule on this
one is discretion.
822
00:48:45,569 --> 00:48:49,869
This is not a good subject for
gossip over drinks at the Monocle,
823
00:48:49,940 --> 00:48:53,432
or spliffs in the
stationery cupboard, you.
824
00:48:53,510 --> 00:48:54,738
I'm offended, truly.
825
00:48:54,878 --> 00:48:56,106
CAMERON: Well, be offended.
826
00:48:56,180 --> 00:48:58,011
Go downstairs, get your
stuff, bring it in here,
827
00:48:58,082 --> 00:49:00,141
because this is
your new home.
828
00:49:00,217 --> 00:49:02,048
Go on!
829
00:49:02,186 --> 00:49:04,017
Okay! Yes, yes, yes.
Speed of light.
830
00:49:11,495 --> 00:49:14,828
Cal? Any conflict
of interest here?
831
00:49:17,167 --> 00:49:18,327
No.
832
00:49:20,638 --> 00:49:22,265
SLATOFF: Perhaps this is
a good opportunity
833
00:49:22,339 --> 00:49:24,136
to address another issue
that's been discussed
834
00:49:24,208 --> 00:49:27,473
during these hearings,
your price structure.
835
00:49:27,544 --> 00:49:29,876
Surely, and I thank you for giving me
836
00:49:30,014 --> 00:49:32,380
an opportunity to
touch on that today.
837
00:49:33,017 --> 00:49:35,577
Our price structure follows
the Defense Department model
838
00:49:35,653 --> 00:49:38,121
as established in
the first Gulf War,
839
00:49:38,255 --> 00:49:40,723
adjusted, of course,
for inflation.
840
00:49:40,791 --> 00:49:44,227
Happily, what's costing
us so much this time around
841
00:49:44,295 --> 00:49:48,026
are some incredible advances
in on-field medical care.
842
00:49:48,465 --> 00:49:50,126
But, simply,
we're now keeping more...
843
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,361
Sir, I'm sorry. Just...
844
00:49:52,436 --> 00:49:54,666
When you were in the military,
did you see any combat duty?
845
00:49:54,738 --> 00:49:56,262
No, sir, I did not.
No.
846
00:49:56,340 --> 00:49:58,308
Do you think if you had, you
might see things differently?
847
00:49:58,375 --> 00:50:00,206
MAN: We're all aware of
your war record, Congressman.
848
00:50:00,277 --> 00:50:01,710
STEPHEN: I'm not talking
about my record.
849
00:50:01,779 --> 00:50:05,271
I'm talking about the numerous
allegations of atrocities
850
00:50:05,349 --> 00:50:08,443
committed by PointCorp and
its subsidiary contractors
851
00:50:08,519 --> 00:50:11,113
against the civilian population
in Iraq and Afghanistan.
852
00:50:11,188 --> 00:50:14,248
MAN: Those are
unsubstantiated allegations.
853
00:50:14,325 --> 00:50:16,793
Okay.
This is straightforward.
854
00:50:16,994 --> 00:50:20,361
Since a war on
terror was declared,
855
00:50:20,431 --> 00:50:24,629
has your personal net worth gone
up by more than $250 million?
856
00:50:30,274 --> 00:50:32,265
Straightforward question.
857
00:50:32,343 --> 00:50:35,369
Excuse me, I was told that
personal financial data
858
00:50:35,446 --> 00:50:38,381
would not be addressed
in open session.
859
00:50:38,449 --> 00:50:39,780
Adapt.
860
00:50:42,286 --> 00:50:43,981
Isn't that your slogan?
861
00:50:44,121 --> 00:50:45,816
"Adapt and Achieve?"
862
00:50:46,890 --> 00:50:49,358
It's on the brochure here.
863
00:50:50,194 --> 00:50:53,163
"Commoda et Confice. "
You have it in Latin.

Putting war in

and those who
consider it a business
867
00:50:59,503 --> 00:51:01,733
is a contradiction in
terms in any language.
868
00:51:01,805 --> 00:51:04,171

they cost, not because of it.

the men you dishonor by
calling them mercenaries

are, by and large, retired
American military personnel.

They're loyal to nothing
but a paycheck.

It's the Muslim
terror gold rush.
995

You've been watching
these hearings? Yeah.
996
00:57:41,204 --> 00:57:43,638
So, the head of the committee
there, Stephen Collins...
997
00:57:43,707 --> 00:57:44,867
He's finished.
998
00:57:44,941 --> 00:57:47,273
They'll just keep knocking
him down until he goes away.
999
00:57:47,344 --> 00:57:49,209
Do you have any idea
what he's threatening here?
1000
00:57:49,279 --> 00:57:52,373
This is $30 or $40
billion annually.
1001
00:57:52,449 --> 00:57:54,076
That's wrath of God money.
1002
00:57:54,151 --> 00:57:56,449
The hearings
are saying 3 or 4.
1003
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,011
Overseas. The real
money is what PointCorp
1004
00:57:59,156 --> 00:58:01,681
stands to make in its
domestic operations.
1005
00:58:02,125 --> 00:58:04,025
I wasn't aware
that they had any.
1006
00:58:04,094 --> 00:58:08,258
Who was sent in for crowd control
after Hurricane Katrina? Us.
1007
00:58:08,765 --> 00:58:10,562
Private security
contractors deputized

00:58:10,700 --> 00:58:12,531
to shoot at
American citizens.
1009
00:58:13,370 --> 00:58:16,669
Who's training Chicago police
on new interrogation techniques?
1010
00:58:17,307 --> 00:58:20,003
Soon, PointCorp will
take over from the NSA
1011
00:58:20,143 --> 00:58:22,873
on phone taps, terrorist
databases, all of it.
1012
00:58:23,647 --> 00:58:25,547
It's a fundamental
restructuring
1013
00:58:25,615 --> 00:58:27,674
of domestic
intelligence policy.
1014
00:58:28,451 --> 00:58:31,318
It is the privatization
of Homeland Security.
1015
00:58:31,388 --> 00:58:33,822
Billions and
billions of dollars.
1016
00:58:34,157 --> 00:58:36,625
Now you really think they're
gonna forfeit all that
1017
00:58:36,693 --> 00:58:38,627
because some hero
from the seventh district
1018
00:58:38,762 --> 00:58:40,696

that they should?
1019
00:58:40,764 --> 00:58:41,753
Hey.
1020
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,426
CAL: I just got told by a
former PointCorp employee
1021
00:58:46,503 --> 00:58:49,131
that they have a plan to
monopolize domestic security
1022
00:58:49,206 --> 00:58:50,901
that's worth about
$40 billion a year.
1023
00:58:51,041 --> 00:58:52,736
Is that true?
1024
00:58:52,809 --> 00:58:54,606
STEPHEN: Yes.
CAL: How?
1025
00:58:54,678 --> 00:58:57,203
You cannot connect anything
that I tell you back to me.
1026
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:58,474
You understand?
Of course.
1027
00:58:58,548 --> 00:58:59,537
Okay.
1028
00:59:00,684 --> 00:59:03,881
Last year, 47 companies bid on
major Homeland Security contracts.
1029
00:59:03,954 --> 00:59:06,616
Of those, 16 companies
were granted the bids.
1030
00:59:06,690 --> 00:59:10,751
Of those, I could make
connections between 14 companies,
1031
00:59:10,827 --> 00:59:12,795
and I'm not just talking about
someone leaving one company
1032
00:59:12,863 --> 00:59:13,887
and go work for another.
1033
00:59:13,964 --> 00:59:15,795
I'm talking about
shared banking practices.
1034
00:59:15,932 --> 00:59:17,763
I'm talking about
collusive behavior.
1035
00:59:17,834 --> 00:59:20,166
Now, my belief is,
when all's said and done
1036
00:59:20,303 --> 00:59:22,635
and when
the veil is pulled away,
1037
00:59:22,706 --> 00:59:25,834
you will not see 14
individual companies.
1038
00:59:26,476 --> 00:59:30,310
You will see one company.
You understand?
1039
00:59:31,681 --> 00:59:32,875
And you've been
digging around
1040
00:59:33,016 --> 00:59:34,210
trying to make
those connections clear.
1041
00:59:34,284 --> 00:59:36,115
Yeah. That's right.
1042
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:39,345
And Sonia was
working on that?
1043
00:59:39,422 --> 00:59:41,287
She was my lead researcher.
1044
00:59:41,424 --> 00:59:43,324
She was involved in
everything we did.
1045
00:59:43,393 --> 00:59:45,987
They're gonna get you,
Stephen, one way or another.
1046
00:59:46,062 --> 00:59:49,623
They got 40 billion good reasons
to want you out of the way.
1047
00:59:49,699 --> 00:59:51,064
You gotta go on the record.
1048
00:59:51,201 --> 00:59:52,566
Swing the spotlight
back on them.
1049
00:59:52,636 --> 00:59:55,127
You gotta
protect yourself, man.
1050
00:59:56,406 --> 01:00:00,069
You go out there
and find me evidence
1051
01:00:00,710 --> 01:00:03,474
linking Sonia's
death to PointCorp.
1052
01:00:05,248 --> 01:00:07,580
I will go on the record.
1053
01:00:07,717 --> 01:00:10,049
I will shout this thing
from the rooftops.
1054
01:00:11,054 --> 01:00:12,612
I can do that.
1055
01:00:16,593 --> 01:00:20,256
All right. I gotta get
back. I'll be in touch.
1056
01:00:20,330 --> 01:00:22,264
Stephen.
Yeah?
1057
01:00:22,899 --> 01:00:24,662
Just watch your back.
1058
01:00:24,801 --> 01:00:26,564
You, too.
1059
01:00:35,812 --> 01:00:37,575
Hi. Is Rhonda here?
1060
01:00:37,714 --> 01:00:39,477
Yeah, she's just
right over there.
1061
01:00:40,283 --> 01:00:41,272
(SINGING) Whoa
1062
01:00:41,418 --> 01:00:43,613
I'm walking on sunshine
1063
01:00:43,954 --> 01:00:45,649
Whoa
1064
01:00:45,789 --> 01:00:48,349
I'm walking on sunshine
1065
01:00:48,425 --> 01:00:50,017
Whoa
1066
01:00:50,260 --> 01:00:52,125
And don't it feel good
1067
01:00:52,329 --> 01:00:53,318
Yeah!
1068
01:00:53,530 --> 01:00:56,897
DELLA: Cal, you're not gonna believe
what Sonia's old roommate just told me.
1069
01:00:57,867 --> 01:01:00,165
You're right. I don't
believe a word of it.
1070
01:01:00,236 --> 01:01:02,397
You got no corroboration,
no independent witness,
1071
01:01:02,472 --> 01:01:04,565
and she obviously has
a financial motivation.
1072
01:01:04,641 --> 01:01:06,632
We've got Sonia
Baker's roommate claiming
1073
01:01:06,710 --> 01:01:08,678
she had a threesome
with Stephen Collins,
1074
01:01:08,745 --> 01:01:09,837
and you want to ignore that?
1075
01:01:09,913 --> 01:01:12,541
I am not saying ignore it.
I am saying consider it.
1076
01:01:12,615 --> 01:01:14,549
Consider how it impacts
everything else we have,
1077
01:01:14,617 --> 01:01:16,551
and consider that
she is full of shit!
1078
01:01:16,619 --> 01:01:18,917
Yeah, but, Cal,
she's also saying
1079
01:01:18,989 --> 01:01:22,356
that Stephen paid off Sonia's
$40,000 credit card debt.
1080
01:01:22,425 --> 01:01:23,756
That is a story.
1081
01:01:23,827 --> 01:01:25,658
Somebody's gonna put that
on the front page.
1082
01:01:25,729 --> 01:01:28,459
Okay, is that
the right thing to do?
1083
01:01:28,531 --> 01:01:31,898
Look, it's your half of
the story. It's your scoop.
1084
01:01:31,968 --> 01:01:34,596
Your decision.
Do whatever you want.
1085
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,147
ANNE: But I do know
that Stephen and I
1086
01:01:47,283 --> 01:01:50,150
have been through
far too much together
1087
01:01:50,220 --> 01:01:53,917
to make this one moment the
thing that defines us forever.
1088
01:01:53,990 --> 01:01:55,287
REPORTER: The political
future...
1089
01:02:10,540 --> 01:02:12,235
I tried to call.
1090
01:02:12,742 --> 01:02:17,042
I mean, I actually did call about
12 times, but I hung up every time.
1091
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,581
Well, you know,
I'm glad you dropped by,
1092
01:02:21,418 --> 01:02:24,182
'cause I've been
wanting to talk to you.
1093
01:02:27,791 --> 01:02:30,351
Remember you brought
that girl from Humboldt?
1094
01:02:30,427 --> 01:02:31,826
Soleil,
or whatever her name was.
1095
01:02:31,895 --> 01:02:32,987
Luna.
1096
01:02:33,063 --> 01:02:35,691
Luna. That's right.
