1
00:01:14,628 --> 00:01:17,995
To find something, anything...
2
00:01:18,165 --> 00:01:22,625
... a great truth,
or a lost pair of glasses...
3
00:01:23,103 --> 00:01:27,506
... you must first believe there will be
some advantage in finding it.
4
00:01:28,708 --> 00:01:31,176
I found something a long time ago...
5
00:01:31,344 --> 00:01:34,939
... and have held on to it
for grim death ever since.
6
00:01:35,115 --> 00:01:38,107
I owe my success in life to it.
7
00:01:38,285 --> 00:01:40,753
It put me where I am today.
8
00:01:40,921 --> 00:01:42,980
This principle:
9
00:01:44,491 --> 00:01:48,825
What you don't know won't hurt you.
10
00:01:51,965 --> 00:01:56,834
They called it idealism
in a book I read.
11
00:03:07,908 --> 00:03:10,900
Get the gun.
Get the gun. Get the gun.
12
00:03:15,282 --> 00:03:17,113
Oh, my God.
13
00:03:44,611 --> 00:03:46,010
The judge won't scare easy.
14
00:03:48,381 --> 00:03:51,509
I don't count on him scaring easy.
15
00:03:55,355 --> 00:03:57,721
You think it's beneath my dignity?
16
00:03:57,891 --> 00:03:59,654
Well, you're governor, they tell me.
17
00:03:59,826 --> 00:04:02,317
Yeah, I'm governor.
18
00:04:02,495 --> 00:04:05,658
The trouble with governors is they
think they gotta keep their dignity.
19
00:04:05,832 --> 00:04:08,528
There's nothing worth doing
a man can do to keep his dignity.
20
00:04:08,702 --> 00:04:10,226
Human frame ain't built that way.
21
00:04:12,105 --> 00:04:14,505
When I'm not governor anymore
because I'm president...
22
00:04:14,674 --> 00:04:17,234
...I wanna meet somebody at midnight,
I'll do that then too.
23
00:04:17,978 --> 00:04:20,469
Hope you leave me
to get a night's sleep.
24
00:04:20,647 --> 00:04:23,241
No, Jack, you going with me
because that's what you want.
25
00:04:23,750 --> 00:04:25,877
Yeah, you and Sugar
with me in the White House.
26
00:04:26,052 --> 00:04:28,885
I'll give Sugar a pistol range
right out there in the garden.
27
00:04:29,589 --> 00:04:32,387
Brace of Republican senators
can set up his tin cans for him.
28
00:04:32,559 --> 00:04:35,119
And I'm gonna appoint
a special member to Cabinet for you:
29
00:04:35,295 --> 00:04:39,061
Secretary to the Bedchamber
of Mr. Jack Burden.
30
00:04:40,066 --> 00:04:42,330
Somebody to keep them
telephone numbers straight...
31
00:04:42,502 --> 00:04:45,994
...and return their little pink silk articles
that get left behind.
32
00:04:47,774 --> 00:04:49,742
But we gotta do this first.
33
00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:53,003
In the middle of the night when we
could just do it in town sometime.
34
00:04:53,179 --> 00:04:56,080
Sometime ain't never now.
35
00:04:57,584 --> 00:04:59,677
Bastard.
36
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:01,948
Which way up there?
37
00:05:04,391 --> 00:05:07,360
Jack, tell Sugar
how to get to the house.
38
00:05:07,894 --> 00:05:10,590
It's your people live down here.
39
00:05:27,547 --> 00:05:29,276
Suppose he don't open up?
40
00:05:31,051 --> 00:05:33,611
Make him. What I pay you for?
41
00:06:07,954 --> 00:06:09,854
Hey, Jack.
42
00:06:10,023 --> 00:06:11,991
Mr. Duffy.
43
00:06:12,992 --> 00:06:15,358
This is Willie Stark
from up Mason City.
44
00:06:15,528 --> 00:06:17,496
- County treasurer.
- Glad to meet you.
45
00:06:18,465 --> 00:06:20,831
- Jack Burden.
- From The Chronicle.
46
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,490
Good to meet you, Mr. Burden.
47
00:06:22,669 --> 00:06:25,069
Yeah, Willie's on business
for Mason City.
48
00:06:25,238 --> 00:06:26,569
Bond issue them got up there.
49
00:06:26,740 --> 00:06:28,867
Gonna build a schoolhouse.
50
00:06:29,042 --> 00:06:32,773
Yeah. Me and Willie
was in school together.
51
00:06:32,946 --> 00:06:36,848
Oh, you was in school, Alex.
I didn't know.
52
00:06:37,016 --> 00:06:39,109
Not the teacher's favorite,
I don't expect.
53
00:06:39,285 --> 00:06:41,549
No, sir, that's true.
54
00:06:41,721 --> 00:06:44,952
Willie was, though.
Still is, ain't you, Willie?
55
00:06:45,125 --> 00:06:47,457
Yeah, Willie married
a schoolteacher.
56
00:06:48,528 --> 00:06:49,756
Well, you know...
57
00:06:49,929 --> 00:06:53,330
...they tell me that schoolteachers
are made with it...
58
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:55,365
...in the same place as the rest.
59
00:06:56,035 --> 00:06:58,697
Now, is that right or not, Mr. Stark?
60
00:07:03,042 --> 00:07:05,101
Yeah, that's right.
61
00:07:08,047 --> 00:07:09,514
Slade!
62
00:07:09,682 --> 00:07:11,616
Beers all around.
63
00:07:11,785 --> 00:07:13,252
Not for me, thanks.
64
00:07:13,419 --> 00:07:16,183
Oh, that little schoolteacher
don't like it when you drink?
65
00:07:16,356 --> 00:07:18,984
Well, she don't favor it, for a fact.
66
00:07:21,761 --> 00:07:23,888
Well, beers all around.
67
00:07:24,531 --> 00:07:26,556
Well, I sell beer
to those who want it.
68
00:07:27,066 --> 00:07:29,591
I don't make nobody drink them.
69
00:07:30,336 --> 00:07:33,567
Well, maybe you got some
orange pop for him.
70
00:07:33,740 --> 00:07:34,968
That's what he wants.
71
00:07:36,409 --> 00:07:40,436
Yeah, I think I'd like some orange pop.
Two straws.
72
00:07:45,718 --> 00:07:48,016
Jack, get up Mason City.
73
00:07:48,188 --> 00:07:50,520
See who's this fella
who thinks he's Jesus Christ...
74
00:07:50,857 --> 00:07:53,519
...come down off the cross to scourge
the moneychangers...
75
00:07:53,693 --> 00:07:56,253
...out of that shinplaster courthouse
they got them there.
76
00:07:56,429 --> 00:07:59,159
I know who he is.
Fella with a Christmas tie...
77
00:07:59,332 --> 00:08:00,765
...pushed a school bond through.
78
00:08:01,234 --> 00:08:03,429
- You know him?
- Met him.
79
00:08:03,603 --> 00:08:05,730
Watched him drink
a bottle of orange pop once...
80
00:08:05,905 --> 00:08:09,068
...through two straws on account
of a wife who don't favor drinking.
81
00:08:09,242 --> 00:08:11,403
She favor him
staying parish treasurer?
82
00:08:11,578 --> 00:08:13,443
Don't you know
how things are run up there?
83
00:08:13,613 --> 00:08:15,877
Run up there
like they're run down here.
84
00:08:16,049 --> 00:08:20,952
Yeah? Well, you leave down here
and run on up there.
85
00:08:28,862 --> 00:08:31,888
As a commissioner, as chairman,
I guess you're in a position...
86
00:08:32,065 --> 00:08:34,727
...to know the situation
regarding the schoolhouse contract.
87
00:08:34,901 --> 00:08:36,129
Ain't no situation.
88
00:08:36,302 --> 00:08:38,133
Maybe not, but maybe so.
89
00:08:38,304 --> 00:08:40,067
Ain't any situation.
90
00:08:40,573 --> 00:08:41,835
Board took a bid offer.
91
00:08:42,008 --> 00:08:44,101
A.J. Moore's bid, the fella's name...
92
00:08:44,277 --> 00:08:46,370
...schoolhouse gets built.
93
00:08:46,546 --> 00:08:48,878
This Moore fella's bid,
I take it, was the lowest?
94
00:08:49,382 --> 00:08:51,111
Now, you lookie here.
95
00:08:51,284 --> 00:08:54,276
Ain't nobody tells a board
what bid to take.
96
00:08:54,454 --> 00:08:57,389
Anybody can come along
put in a little pissant bid.
97
00:08:57,557 --> 00:08:58,888
Board doesn't have to take it.
98
00:08:59,058 --> 00:09:01,185
Board takes somebody
who can do the work right.
99
00:09:01,361 --> 00:09:02,885
Ain't nothing done but legal.
100
00:09:03,062 --> 00:09:05,826
Who was it
put in the little pissant bid?
101
00:09:05,999 --> 00:09:08,900
- Name of Jeffers, if I recollect.
- Jeffers Construction?
102
00:09:09,068 --> 00:09:11,866
- Yeah.
- Well, that's a real firm, a big firm.
103
00:09:12,739 --> 00:09:15,833
The board picks
who can do the work right.
104
00:09:16,009 --> 00:09:18,534
That's all I got to say.
105
00:09:19,178 --> 00:09:20,406
Don't you wanna tell mama...
106
00:09:20,580 --> 00:09:23,378
...you wanna see yourself
shining in the table? No?
107
00:09:23,549 --> 00:09:27,041
All right. I wish I could have
sold some to you.
108
00:09:27,220 --> 00:09:29,984
Be out of your way in a second here.
And no brushes, you sure?
109
00:09:30,156 --> 00:09:31,453
- I'm sure.
- All right.
110
00:09:31,624 --> 00:09:34,115
Thank you.
Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
111
00:09:34,294 --> 00:09:35,522
Mr. Stark.
112
00:09:38,164 --> 00:09:42,032
Why, Mr. Jack Burden,
how are you, sir?
113
00:09:42,201 --> 00:09:45,534
You know, people would think
parish treasurer paid well enough...
114
00:09:45,705 --> 00:09:48,799
...a man wouldn't have to sell
household fix-it kits door-to-door.
115
00:09:48,975 --> 00:09:51,876
- People would think.
- Doesn't in Mason City.
116
00:09:52,045 --> 00:09:55,071
Well, I'm maybe not so good
at mathematics...
117
00:09:55,248 --> 00:09:57,443
...as some other parish treasurers
you may've met.
118
00:09:57,617 --> 00:09:59,744
Or too good at it.
119
00:10:00,386 --> 00:10:03,014
How much they steal
on the schoolhouse contract?
120
00:10:03,189 --> 00:10:04,884
Well, let's see...
121
00:10:05,491 --> 00:10:08,324
Jeffers come in $ 142,000.
122
00:10:08,494 --> 00:10:10,792
Moore, $ 175,000.
123
00:10:10,964 --> 00:10:15,094
That's $33,000 split six ways,
5500 per commissioner.
124
00:10:15,268 --> 00:10:19,466
They done it so plain and pretty, well,
you'd almost have to admire them.
125
00:10:19,639 --> 00:10:22,301
Just point out Jeffers
uses nigra laborers...
126
00:10:22,475 --> 00:10:25,342
...skilled men, you know?
127
00:10:25,511 --> 00:10:29,208
Next thing, it's, "Lookie here, nigras
making more money than you men.
128
00:10:29,382 --> 00:10:31,316
Pushing wheelbarrows,
hauling dirt."
129
00:10:32,285 --> 00:10:35,777
And that's it. "Goodbye, Mr. Jeffers
and your low bid.
130
00:10:35,955 --> 00:10:38,856
You go build your nigra schoolhouse
somewhere else."
131
00:10:39,025 --> 00:10:41,926
Not that you didn't try and get people
to see what was going on.
132
00:10:42,095 --> 00:10:46,532
Oh, I yelled so long and loud about
these old boys lining they pockets...
133
00:10:46,699 --> 00:10:48,997
...I'm lucky to have
any job in Mason City:
134
00:10:49,168 --> 00:10:51,261
Government, door-to-door,
or any other variety.
135
00:10:51,437 --> 00:10:53,268
I stood out there
on that street corner...
136
00:10:53,439 --> 00:10:55,430
...pencil in one hand,
paper in the other...
137
00:10:55,608 --> 00:10:57,599
...trying to show people
the numbers.
138
00:10:57,777 --> 00:11:00,473
But you stop people out there
in that hot sun...
139
00:11:00,646 --> 00:11:02,876
...try to show them arithmetic...
140
00:11:03,049 --> 00:11:05,210
...well, they can't see it so clear...
141
00:11:05,385 --> 00:11:08,752
...through the sweat pouring in they
own eyes from they own hard labor.
142
00:11:08,921 --> 00:11:11,754
Especially if you put nigras
in the equation.
143
00:11:11,924 --> 00:11:14,757
- Why, you're likely to get beat up.
- Likely?
144
00:11:14,927 --> 00:11:17,020
Once or twice.
145
00:11:17,864 --> 00:11:19,297
You gonna run again in November?
146
00:11:19,465 --> 00:11:24,300
No, I'm done. A lame duck. Lucy too.
They got her fired from teaching.
147
00:11:24,470 --> 00:11:28,304
And I don't care. I don't want to teach
there just so they can steal money.
148
00:11:28,474 --> 00:11:31,910
That's right. You're looking at your
own private two-person leper colony.
149
00:11:32,078 --> 00:11:33,705
Sipping pop.
150
00:11:34,313 --> 00:11:36,247
So, what are you gonna do, then?
151
00:11:36,416 --> 00:11:41,581
I don't know. String my pa a fence,
slop some pigs, milk some cows.
152
00:11:45,024 --> 00:11:49,188
I'm gonna keep the faith, Mr. Burden,
that's what I'm gonna do.
153
00:11:49,729 --> 00:11:53,995
I'm gonna keep the faith
in the people, because you know why?
154
00:11:55,802 --> 00:11:57,929
Time...
155
00:11:58,104 --> 00:12:01,471
...brings all things to light.
156
00:12:02,075 --> 00:12:04,475
I trust it's so.
157
00:12:38,311 --> 00:12:39,676
Joe.
158
00:12:39,846 --> 00:12:41,871
Did you get a photograph of him?
159
00:12:42,048 --> 00:12:43,538
Who?
160
00:12:46,786 --> 00:12:49,277
The next mayor of this town.
161
00:13:00,933 --> 00:13:03,458
You know what people are saying?
162
00:13:04,337 --> 00:13:06,931
People are saying
that God himself had a hand...
163
00:13:07,106 --> 00:13:10,098
...in this schoolhouse business.
164
00:13:10,276 --> 00:13:15,009
That God stepped in
on Willie Stark's side.
165
00:13:15,548 --> 00:13:20,042
Yes, sir. He does work
in mysterious ways sometimes.
166
00:13:20,219 --> 00:13:22,119
Sometimes...
167
00:13:22,288 --> 00:13:25,121
...he has somebody else do it.
168
00:13:25,291 --> 00:13:30,160
Sends over a fat man in a striped suit
with a big car to do his will.
169
00:13:30,329 --> 00:13:33,765
Well, I have had
some worse employers, I admit that.
170
00:13:34,901 --> 00:13:36,732
What you want?
171
00:13:37,170 --> 00:13:40,162
Well, I wanna work for you,
Mr. Stark.
172
00:13:40,339 --> 00:13:43,775
And you wanna work for the people,
unless I been misinformed.
173
00:13:43,943 --> 00:13:46,207
People vote me,
I'd be privileged to serve them.
174
00:13:46,379 --> 00:13:50,338
- What, as the county treasurer?
- Yes, sir.
175
00:13:51,918 --> 00:13:54,409
Mr. Stark, you could run
for mayor of Mason City...
176
00:13:54,587 --> 00:13:58,114
...and you could win without climbing
out of bed in the morning.
177
00:13:58,291 --> 00:14:00,020
You just put the word out...
178
00:14:00,459 --> 00:14:04,327
...about Willie Stark, who tried to take
on the crooks single-handed...
179
00:14:04,497 --> 00:14:06,829
...Willie Stark,
who tried to warn us...
180
00:14:06,999 --> 00:14:11,800
...Willie Stark, who could have saved
our kids if we'd have just listened.
181
00:14:12,705 --> 00:14:18,234
Now, I'm not talking about Willie Stark
for the mayor of Mason City. No, sir.
182
00:14:18,411 --> 00:14:20,902
I'm talking about Willie Stark...
183
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,881
...as the next governor
of the great state of Louisiana.
184
00:14:27,553 --> 00:14:31,045
Now, you saw a man
holding out a handful of cash to you...
185
00:14:31,224 --> 00:14:33,124
...and you said no.
186
00:14:33,292 --> 00:14:34,884
This is what I see.
187
00:14:35,061 --> 00:14:37,529
I see a man in a booth...
188
00:14:37,697 --> 00:14:40,632
...looking down at a ballot,
a working man.
189
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,931
And he sees three names there:
Harrison, MacMurphy and Stark.
190
00:14:46,339 --> 00:14:48,068
Now, what this man really sees...
191
00:14:48,241 --> 00:14:51,210
...is that picture in the newspaper
of them three little coffins...
192
00:14:51,644 --> 00:14:54,738
...and the one man since
the great Governor Stanton died...
193
00:14:54,914 --> 00:14:58,543
...that had the guts to buck the powers
that killed them.
194
00:14:59,852 --> 00:15:02,150
Now, that man, that voting man,
he's got a pencil...
195
00:15:02,321 --> 00:15:04,448
...he checks a box,
you wake up governor.
196
00:15:04,824 --> 00:15:07,418
And that little lady lying
beside you...
197
00:15:07,593 --> 00:15:11,893
...the one that don't favor liquor...
198
00:15:12,331 --> 00:15:15,232
...she wakes up the governor's wife.
199
00:15:20,373 --> 00:15:21,931
That's what I see.
200
00:15:23,409 --> 00:15:27,709
Now, why don't you take a minute
with your orange pop...
201
00:15:29,181 --> 00:15:31,479
...see if you can't see it too...
202
00:15:33,085 --> 00:15:34,780
...governor.
203
00:16:04,450 --> 00:16:06,281
You got your speech?
204
00:16:06,519 --> 00:16:08,248
All right.
205
00:16:11,824 --> 00:16:13,724
Willie Stark!
206
00:16:19,165 --> 00:16:21,065
Thank you, folks.
207
00:16:22,968 --> 00:16:24,526
Thank you kindly.
208
00:16:26,339 --> 00:16:28,705
My name's Willie Stark
from Mason City yonder...
209
00:16:30,142 --> 00:16:33,703
...and I'm pleased to have a chance
to talk with you all here today.
210
00:16:33,879 --> 00:16:35,847
Now, friends...
211
00:16:36,682 --> 00:16:40,413
...what I wanna talk about is
something that's been troubling me.
212
00:16:40,586 --> 00:16:43,384
- Coffee, please.
- Yes, ma'am.
213
00:16:47,727 --> 00:16:49,991
Can I sit with you?
214
00:16:50,162 --> 00:16:51,720
Or anything else.
215
00:16:53,065 --> 00:16:54,726
No, thanks.
216
00:16:55,368 --> 00:16:58,394
- You don't like my looks?
- I don't care about anybody's looks...
217
00:16:58,571 --> 00:17:00,562
...but I can't recall
ever going for anyone...
218
00:17:00,740 --> 00:17:03,265
...who reminds me
of a box of spilled spaghetti.
219
00:17:03,809 --> 00:17:06,972
Miss Burke, I'm sitting here
having a cup of coffee.
220
00:17:07,146 --> 00:17:09,444
I'm almost through,
then you couldn't sit with me...
221
00:17:09,615 --> 00:17:12,550
...which is what you asked for.
- Sorry.
222
00:17:15,454 --> 00:17:17,183
Not working
for Sen-Sen Puckett anymore.
223
00:17:17,757 --> 00:17:20,920
- Now, he wasn't a bad-looking fellow.
- Heel.
224
00:17:21,093 --> 00:17:23,323
Well, sure, politically and elsewise.
225
00:17:23,496 --> 00:17:25,327
Who didn't know that?
226
00:17:25,498 --> 00:17:27,728
I guess I'm slower on some things
than others.
227
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:29,800
- Like you.
- Am I?
228
00:17:29,969 --> 00:17:32,096
- I think so.
- I think not.
229
00:17:32,271 --> 00:17:33,533
Not on this charade.
230
00:17:34,974 --> 00:17:37,602
That's the topic of the interview.
231
00:17:37,777 --> 00:17:40,507
Then tell me, if you're so smart.
232
00:17:40,679 --> 00:17:44,547
All right. Harrison's a city man,
MacMurphy's a cracker.
233
00:17:44,717 --> 00:17:47,515
Not a cracker precisely,
but enough of one to worry Harrison...
234
00:17:47,686 --> 00:17:49,051
...that crackers won't know
the difference.
235
00:17:49,221 --> 00:17:52,782
So Harrison looks for someone
to split the cracker vote.
236
00:17:52,958 --> 00:17:55,654
Hears about an honest man
up in Crackerville...
237
00:17:55,828 --> 00:17:58,296
...where some cracker kids go down
with a fire escape...
238
00:17:58,464 --> 00:18:01,331
...that was supposed to be stuck with
more than spit to their schoolhouse.
239
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:04,128
Sends his man Tiny Duffy up there
to romance him...
240
00:18:04,303 --> 00:18:07,568
...and then Sadie Burke
to romance him some more.
241
00:18:07,740 --> 00:18:09,367
Both telling him how good he is...
242
00:18:09,542 --> 00:18:12,909
...how he has better than a chance
in hell to change things in this state...
243
00:18:13,078 --> 00:18:14,602
...where nothing will ever change.
244
00:18:14,780 --> 00:18:16,645
Because you and Tiny
and the rest of them...
245
00:18:16,816 --> 00:18:19,910
...don't care how much of a fool
you make a man.
246
00:18:20,085 --> 00:18:22,417
And you do care, I suppose?
247
00:18:22,588 --> 00:18:24,818
I didn't say that. I don't care.
248
00:18:24,990 --> 00:18:27,982
If I did, I'd do something about it,
wouldn't I?
249
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,254
No, I'd rather watch from here.
250
00:18:32,465 --> 00:18:35,093
Like passing a car crash.
251
00:18:35,634 --> 00:18:38,569
I know you all can't see this
from all the way back there...
252
00:18:38,737 --> 00:18:41,467
...but I've got a pie chart
representing it.
253
00:18:41,807 --> 00:18:45,402
And you can see here where
public welfare and hospitals end up.
254
00:19:02,127 --> 00:19:05,893
They should be the same.
255
00:19:06,532 --> 00:19:09,501
Rather, the ratio....
256
00:19:27,553 --> 00:19:29,521
We should go.
257
00:19:30,723 --> 00:19:32,520
Not yet.
258
00:19:32,691 --> 00:19:34,750
Let's go in again.
259
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,237
You don't wanna swim?
260
00:20:09,261 --> 00:20:11,752
How you think we doing?
261
00:20:12,665 --> 00:20:14,064
Fine, I guess.
262
00:20:15,301 --> 00:20:16,529
You think?
263
00:20:17,169 --> 00:20:19,637
That how you reporting it?
264
00:20:20,072 --> 00:20:21,369
Sure.
265
00:20:22,942 --> 00:20:27,845
Seems to me they listen less and less
the further I get from home.
266
00:20:28,013 --> 00:20:30,675
Well, that makes sense,
don't you think?
267
00:20:34,486 --> 00:20:36,181
Maybe...
268
00:20:37,690 --> 00:20:39,214
...you trying to say too much.
269
00:20:41,026 --> 00:20:42,926
I'm telling them
what they need to know:
270
00:20:43,095 --> 00:20:44,824
Taxes, wages, highways.
271
00:20:44,997 --> 00:20:46,794
Well, maybe it's how
you're telling them.
272
00:20:46,966 --> 00:20:49,764
Maybe if you told them
the way you tell Lucy or Tiny or me...
273
00:20:49,935 --> 00:20:52,096
...or anyone face to face,
they'd listen better.
274
00:20:52,605 --> 00:20:54,038
I don't know how that is.
275
00:20:54,206 --> 00:20:56,470
Hard to know how you sound
to somebody else.
276
00:20:56,642 --> 00:20:59,907
Mad, fed up, like you mean business
is how you sound.
277
00:21:00,079 --> 00:21:02,240
But not on the platform.
You climb three steps...
278
00:21:02,414 --> 00:21:06,510
...you sound like the rest of them. Like
a man who wants to win an election.
279
00:21:09,822 --> 00:21:11,756
Willie....
280
00:21:12,891 --> 00:21:14,449
Yeah?
281
00:21:15,527 --> 00:21:16,755
What?
282
00:21:20,933 --> 00:21:22,457
Nothing.
283
00:21:23,669 --> 00:21:27,366
Well, a man don't have to be governor.
284
00:21:28,741 --> 00:21:30,675
I don't deny wanting it.
285
00:21:30,843 --> 00:21:35,041
I won't lie to you,
I lie awake wanting it.
286
00:21:35,214 --> 00:21:39,878
But sometimes a man
can want something so bad...
287
00:21:40,252 --> 00:21:43,244
...be so full of want...
288
00:21:44,356 --> 00:21:48,690
...he plain forget what it is he want.
289
00:21:50,896 --> 00:21:53,592
I could have been a good governor.
290
00:21:53,832 --> 00:21:56,892
A lot better than them other fellas.
291
00:22:00,005 --> 00:22:02,838
But I ain't gonna be governor.
292
00:22:09,148 --> 00:22:10,376
Hi.
293
00:22:10,549 --> 00:22:12,540
Come on in. Why not?
294
00:22:13,385 --> 00:22:15,717
Oh, Mr. Stark.
295
00:22:17,756 --> 00:22:19,189
Sadie.
296
00:22:22,995 --> 00:22:24,292
What's up?
297
00:22:24,463 --> 00:22:27,330
Willie here was just telling me
how he's not gonna be governor.
298
00:22:29,301 --> 00:22:30,529
You told him?
299
00:22:34,073 --> 00:22:36,633
No, I didn't, as a matter of fact, no.
300
00:22:39,211 --> 00:22:40,838
Told me what?
301
00:22:46,185 --> 00:22:49,814
Told me what?
302
00:23:01,967 --> 00:23:05,027
Oh, yeah, well, that makes sense.
303
00:23:05,204 --> 00:23:07,297
I see.
304
00:23:10,943 --> 00:23:13,912
So that's true? I'm being used.
305
00:23:14,079 --> 00:23:16,377
So they tell me.
306
00:23:17,883 --> 00:23:22,081
I saw it in his eyes the first time
he come to see me, Tiny.
307
00:23:23,388 --> 00:23:26,585
But I just pushed it out of my head.
308
00:23:28,093 --> 00:23:30,653
Pushed it clean out.
309
00:23:34,333 --> 00:23:36,062
I should've known better.
310
00:24:00,826 --> 00:24:02,885
Mr. Stark?
311
00:24:03,395 --> 00:24:04,623
Mr. Stark?
312
00:24:15,007 --> 00:24:18,067
You thought you were the little
white lamb of God, didn't you?
313
00:24:19,211 --> 00:24:23,307
Just waiting for the chance to stand
on your hind legs and make a speech.
314
00:24:24,917 --> 00:24:28,478
They would have paid you
to play the part. They pay me.
315
00:24:28,754 --> 00:24:31,848
But you were too stupid
to see even that.
316
00:24:32,524 --> 00:24:34,719
You did it for free.
317
00:24:36,562 --> 00:24:41,431
You're just their dumb sacrificial sap
and I'm....
318
00:24:46,605 --> 00:24:49,165
I'm sorry I let them.
319
00:25:13,165 --> 00:25:16,362
Your stomachaches, your colics,
your bloats, your diarrhea.
320
00:25:30,349 --> 00:25:32,340
You're looking a little peaked.
321
00:25:33,852 --> 00:25:35,911
I can't imagine.
322
00:25:36,088 --> 00:25:37,715
Slept like a baby.
323
00:25:40,125 --> 00:25:41,387
Got your speech?
324
00:25:44,296 --> 00:25:46,662
All right, then. Let's go. It's time.
325
00:25:47,799 --> 00:25:50,063
"Hail, Hail, The Gang's All Here."
326
00:25:51,403 --> 00:25:52,768
What?
327
00:25:53,238 --> 00:25:55,172
The song.
328
00:25:56,808 --> 00:26:00,244
Yeah. That's what it is.
329
00:26:25,837 --> 00:26:27,862
Hello. Hello.
330
00:26:28,373 --> 00:26:30,238
How are you?
331
00:26:30,409 --> 00:26:33,378
Here's that speech
you was just asking about.
332
00:26:36,148 --> 00:26:40,551
My name is Willie Stark
from Mason City yonder.
333
00:26:41,687 --> 00:26:43,154
I had a speech...
334
00:26:43,555 --> 00:26:46,217
...about this state and what it needs.
335
00:26:47,092 --> 00:26:49,788
There's no use in me telling you
about it, you are the state.
336
00:26:49,962 --> 00:26:51,827
You know what you need.
337
00:26:51,997 --> 00:26:55,091
Look at the knees of your pants.
338
00:26:55,567 --> 00:26:57,728
Look at your crops.
339
00:26:57,903 --> 00:26:59,234
Look at your kids.
340
00:26:59,404 --> 00:27:02,396
You got holes and rot...
341
00:27:02,574 --> 00:27:05,737
...and ignorant offspring
on account of this state.
342
00:27:07,412 --> 00:27:11,109
Well, I had a speech,
but I ain't got it no more.
343
00:27:11,283 --> 00:27:14,810
Mr. Duffy got it now
in his fat little hands.
344
00:27:14,987 --> 00:27:16,215
Don't you, Tiny?
345
00:27:16,388 --> 00:27:19,755
Go ahead, show the people.
Hold it up.
346
00:27:21,460 --> 00:27:24,122
Well, since he got it...
347
00:27:24,296 --> 00:27:26,856
...I'm gonna have to say
something else.
348
00:27:27,466 --> 00:27:29,525
It's all right.
349
00:27:30,002 --> 00:27:33,028
Because I got something else
to say.
350
00:27:33,505 --> 00:27:37,805
I got a story about a redneck hick.
351
00:27:37,976 --> 00:27:40,376
He's like yourselves, if you please.
352
00:27:40,846 --> 00:27:46,250
Well, this fella, a while back,
this hick...
353
00:27:47,219 --> 00:27:50,655
...started thinking about
all the other hicks...
354
00:27:50,822 --> 00:27:53,188
...what he could do for them.
355
00:27:54,326 --> 00:27:56,294
Well, one day...
356
00:27:56,461 --> 00:28:01,398
...it came down
with the powerful force...
357
00:28:01,566 --> 00:28:04,194
...of God's own hand...
358
00:28:04,803 --> 00:28:09,331
...when the only brick schoolhouse
ever built in his parish...
359
00:28:09,508 --> 00:28:14,969
...collapsed on account of it was built
with politics-rotted brick.
360
00:28:15,147 --> 00:28:20,881
And it killed and mangled
a batch of poor, young scholars.
361
00:28:22,788 --> 00:28:25,279
Oh, you know this story.
362
00:28:25,457 --> 00:28:27,152
You heard it.
363
00:28:27,325 --> 00:28:29,725
He fought the politics
that built that schoolhouse...
364
00:28:29,895 --> 00:28:32,193
...with rotten brick and bolts.
365
00:28:33,698 --> 00:28:35,563
But he lost.
366
00:28:35,734 --> 00:28:37,497
He lost.
367
00:28:37,936 --> 00:28:39,870
And it fell.
368
00:28:40,372 --> 00:28:41,600
It fell.
369
00:28:44,042 --> 00:28:47,205
Well, it wasn't long...
370
00:28:47,379 --> 00:28:52,078
...before some public officials
from the city...
371
00:28:52,250 --> 00:28:55,219
...rode out in their big fine car...
372
00:28:55,387 --> 00:29:00,415
...and told this hick how they
wanted him to run for governor.
373
00:29:01,393 --> 00:29:03,759
Them in them striped pants,
they told me...
374
00:29:03,929 --> 00:29:06,762
...MacMurphy was a limberback...
375
00:29:06,932 --> 00:29:11,130
...Joe Harrison, he was just a tool
of the city machine.
376
00:29:11,303 --> 00:29:16,605
And they wanted this nobody,
do-gooder hick...
377
00:29:16,775 --> 00:29:18,902
...to step in,
give them some honest government.
378
00:29:19,077 --> 00:29:20,874
You know who they were?
379
00:29:21,947 --> 00:29:24,177
In that big fine car?
380
00:29:28,019 --> 00:29:32,115
They was Joe Harrison's
own lickspittles...
381
00:29:32,290 --> 00:29:35,657
...coming in to split MacMurphy's
hick vote!
382
00:29:35,827 --> 00:29:38,295
That's right! Your hick vote!
383
00:29:38,463 --> 00:29:40,397
There he is!
384
00:29:40,565 --> 00:29:41,827
There he is right there.
385
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,734
There's the Judas Iscariot lickspittle
nose-wiper from the city, right there.
386
00:29:47,906 --> 00:29:51,569
Come on, Tiny. Look at him.
Joe Harrison's dummy.
387
00:29:51,743 --> 00:29:54,803
Come on, take a bow. Come on. No,
come on now, people wanna see you.
388
00:29:54,980 --> 00:29:57,972
Take a bow, come on.
There he goes.
389
00:29:58,683 --> 00:30:01,345
No! No, let him lie! Let him lie!
390
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,648
Let that hog lie in his own filth!
391
00:30:04,823 --> 00:30:07,291
Let him lie,
but listen to me, you hicks.
392
00:30:07,459 --> 00:30:11,088
That's right, I'm not the only one here.
You hicks too.
393
00:30:11,263 --> 00:30:15,962
They fooled you, too, just like
they fooled me a thousand times.
394
00:30:16,134 --> 00:30:18,694
But it's time I fooled somebody.
395
00:30:18,870 --> 00:30:21,361
It's time I fooled them.
396
00:30:21,540 --> 00:30:25,340
Them big-city, striped-pants lickspittle
hick-haters.
397
00:30:25,510 --> 00:30:28,377
I'm running for governor on my own.
398
00:30:28,547 --> 00:30:32,881
I'm coming for them
and I'm coming for blood!
399
00:30:38,623 --> 00:30:40,818
First thing I'm gonna do
is build me a road out...
400
00:30:40,992 --> 00:30:44,860
...across the swamps and alligators
and anything else that gets in my way.
401
00:30:45,030 --> 00:30:47,931
A thousand miles of concrete,
if that's what it takes...
402
00:30:48,099 --> 00:30:51,967
...so I can come out here and visit with
my fellow hicks on a regular basis.
403
00:30:52,137 --> 00:30:55,197
Then I'm gonna build me a bridge
across that mighty Mississippi.
404
00:30:55,373 --> 00:30:58,171
Name it after myself
because I'm the one who built it.
405
00:30:58,343 --> 00:31:00,368
Then I'm gonna build you all
new schools.
406
00:31:00,545 --> 00:31:04,345
Send your kids home with free tablets
and pencils and books...
407
00:31:04,516 --> 00:31:08,418
...to study and learn on the way
to the new university I'm gonna build...
408
00:31:08,587 --> 00:31:11,215
...where every one of them can go.
409
00:31:11,389 --> 00:31:12,981
Same as rich folks' kids.
410
00:31:13,625 --> 00:31:17,220
Now, I hope you're listening,
you hicks.
411
00:31:17,395 --> 00:31:21,092
Because I don't wanna drive
all the way back home...
412
00:31:21,266 --> 00:31:25,066
...just to drive back out here
next week to tell you again.
413
00:31:25,237 --> 00:31:26,602
And this is it:
414
00:31:28,373 --> 00:31:30,841
If you don't vote...
415
00:31:31,009 --> 00:31:33,239
...you don't matter.
You don't matter!
416
00:31:33,411 --> 00:31:35,174
You don't matter!
417
00:31:35,347 --> 00:31:38,544
And then you're just as ignorant
as them in the city say you are...
418
00:31:38,717 --> 00:31:40,708
...while they stealing food
off your table...
419
00:31:40,885 --> 00:31:43,376
...and every nickel out your pocket,
saying, "Thank you."
420
00:31:43,555 --> 00:31:48,720
Because then you are just a bunch
of ignorant hicks who got nothing...
421
00:31:48,893 --> 00:31:50,884
...because you deserve nothing.
422
00:31:51,263 --> 00:31:53,026
So listen to me.
423
00:31:53,198 --> 00:31:54,790
Listen here.
424
00:31:54,966 --> 00:31:56,558
Lift your eyes...
425
00:31:56,735 --> 00:32:01,536
...and look on the God's blessed
and unflyblown truth:
426
00:32:01,706 --> 00:32:07,110
You are a hick and ain't nobody
never helped a hick but a hick hisself.
427
00:32:07,279 --> 00:32:12,273
It's up to you
to nail these parasites up.
428
00:32:12,450 --> 00:32:16,716
- Up to you and me and God.
- Amen!
429
00:32:16,888 --> 00:32:20,153
- Nail up Joe Harrison!
- Nail him up!
430
00:32:20,325 --> 00:32:23,021
- Nail up MacMurphy!
- Nail him up!
431
00:32:23,194 --> 00:32:26,425
And nail up any bastard
that gets between you...
432
00:32:26,598 --> 00:32:28,793
...and the roads and the bridges
and schools...
433
00:32:28,967 --> 00:32:30,457
...and the food you need.
434
00:32:30,635 --> 00:32:33,069
You give me the hammer
and I'll do it.
435
00:32:33,238 --> 00:32:35,798
I'll nail their hides to the barn door.
436
00:32:35,974 --> 00:32:37,805
- Nail them up!
- Nail them up!
437
00:32:37,976 --> 00:32:39,637
- Nail them up!
- Nail them up!
438
00:32:39,811 --> 00:32:41,506
- Nail them up!
- Nail them up!
439
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,511
- Nail them up!
- Nail them up!
440
00:32:43,682 --> 00:32:45,411
- Nail them up!
- Nail them up!
441
00:32:45,583 --> 00:32:47,312
- Nail them up!
- Nail them up!
442
00:32:47,485 --> 00:32:49,248
- Nail them up!
- Nail them up!
443
00:32:49,421 --> 00:32:51,082
- Nail them up!
- Nail them up!
444
00:32:51,256 --> 00:32:52,985
- Nail them up!
- Nail them up!
445
00:32:53,158 --> 00:32:54,750
- Nail them up!
- Nail them up!
446
00:32:54,926 --> 00:32:56,757
- Nail them up!
- Nail them up!
447
00:32:56,928 --> 00:32:58,589
- Nail them up!
- Nail them up!
448
00:33:27,692 --> 00:33:29,819
More about Stark?
449
00:33:29,994 --> 00:33:32,087
He's colorful. Makes it easy.
450
00:33:32,263 --> 00:33:35,198
You know me,
always looking for easy.
451
00:33:47,078 --> 00:33:50,377
Jack. You know what
The Chronicle line is on the election.
452
00:33:50,715 --> 00:33:54,811
Sure. MacMurphy again because of his
brilliant record as an administrator...
453
00:33:54,986 --> 00:33:57,216
...and high integrity as a statesman.
454
00:33:57,389 --> 00:34:01,223
Why can't you put that in your column,
a little less of Stark's raving madness?
455
00:34:05,797 --> 00:34:08,493
Listen, Jack.
I know Stark's a friend of yours but--
456
00:34:08,666 --> 00:34:11,635
He's not a friend of mine. Personally,
I don't care who's governor.
457
00:34:11,803 --> 00:34:13,703
Are you telling me what to write,
or am I mistaken?
458
00:34:13,872 --> 00:34:16,705
- You know The Chronicle line.
- All right.
459
00:34:18,376 --> 00:34:21,174
What do you mean, "All right"?
460
00:34:25,784 --> 00:34:28,048
I mean it the way I said it.
461
00:34:39,597 --> 00:34:43,363
I, Willie Stark, do solemnly swear...
462
00:34:43,535 --> 00:34:47,938
...that I will support the constitution
and laws of the state of Louisiana.
463
00:34:48,106 --> 00:34:51,542
Willie didn't need me
to get himself elected.
464
00:34:51,709 --> 00:34:53,734
He won by a landslide.
465
00:34:54,379 --> 00:34:57,906
By the biggest margin in the history
of the state.
466
00:34:58,082 --> 00:35:02,280
- All the duties incumbent upon me
as governor so help me God.
467
00:35:03,087 --> 00:35:05,521
Which isn't to say
everyone voted for him.
468
00:35:05,690 --> 00:35:07,749
Jack, get up Mason City.
469
00:35:07,926 --> 00:35:09,518
My editor didn't vote for him.
470
00:35:09,694 --> 00:35:12,128
- Thinks he's Jesus Christ
come down off the cross...
471
00:35:13,698 --> 00:35:15,825
The publisher of this paper
didn't vote for him.
472
00:35:17,268 --> 00:35:20,601
These men didn't vote for him.
473
00:35:22,006 --> 00:35:23,735
Or these.
474
00:35:23,908 --> 00:35:26,877
The governor's education bill
does not pass.
475
00:35:27,045 --> 00:35:32,176
Or the old boys in the Senate who
were in the pockets of the oilmen.
476
00:35:37,121 --> 00:35:39,817
My mother didn't vote for him.
477
00:35:42,193 --> 00:35:44,889
This is my mother.
478
00:35:46,030 --> 00:35:48,328
She doesn't vote.
479
00:35:49,934 --> 00:35:54,633
Over there, on her dressing table...
480
00:35:54,806 --> 00:35:57,502
... that's her with her first husband.
481
00:35:57,675 --> 00:36:01,805
First of four, if I recollect.
482
00:36:01,980 --> 00:36:06,747
And that's my godfather on the right,
the best man.
483
00:36:06,918 --> 00:36:09,716
He didn't vote for Willie either.
484
00:36:10,421 --> 00:36:11,854
In fact...
485
00:36:12,023 --> 00:36:16,323
... I think it's safe to say nobody from
where I'm from voted for Willie Stark.
486
00:36:17,228 --> 00:36:19,696
And why should they?
487
00:36:19,864 --> 00:36:21,695
His promises to the poor...
488
00:36:21,866 --> 00:36:23,959
... to build roads and bridges
and schools...
489
00:36:24,435 --> 00:36:27,893
... were a declaration of war
on the rich.
490
00:36:30,475 --> 00:36:32,670
They wanted him out.
491
00:36:47,258 --> 00:36:48,589
You Jack Burden?
492
00:36:53,164 --> 00:36:55,928
I've come at the behest of the boss.
493
00:36:56,267 --> 00:36:57,564
Who?
494
00:36:57,735 --> 00:37:00,033
The boss? The governor?
495
00:37:08,479 --> 00:37:11,414
Governor, let me put it in simple words
so you understand:
496
00:37:11,583 --> 00:37:15,019
There's no money for all these things
you wanna do for the poor.
497
00:37:15,186 --> 00:37:16,778
Oh, there's money, senator.
498
00:37:16,955 --> 00:37:19,389
You're wrong there.
There's plenty of money.
499
00:37:19,657 --> 00:37:23,115
Every kilowatt comes out of the river,
every barrel of oil from the ground.
500
00:37:23,294 --> 00:37:25,785
But that doesn't belong to you, sir.
501
00:37:25,964 --> 00:37:29,764
That's right. Don't belong to you either
or them. Belongs to the state.
502
00:37:30,602 --> 00:37:35,039
How about the state don't tax just 5%
to build my roads, we take it all?
503
00:37:35,206 --> 00:37:38,300
These are some powerful companies
you talking about taking money from.
504
00:37:38,476 --> 00:37:40,876
- They ain't gonna stand for it.
- They ain't the power.
505
00:37:41,045 --> 00:37:43,036
The power's in the hands
of the powerless...
506
00:37:43,214 --> 00:37:45,239
...and those hands
have handed it to me.
507
00:37:51,456 --> 00:37:54,289
Realistically, they'll approve
half the money, maybe.
508
00:37:54,459 --> 00:37:56,120
And that's after we beat them up.
509
00:37:56,294 --> 00:37:58,524
So we build them half a highway.
510
00:37:58,696 --> 00:38:01,597
Mile of concrete, mile of dirt,
mile of concrete, mile of dirt...
511
00:38:01,766 --> 00:38:03,256
...all the way to Shreveport.
512
00:38:03,434 --> 00:38:05,902
Now, how's anybody gonna drive
on that?
513
00:38:06,070 --> 00:38:07,799
People ain't gonna stand for that.
514
00:38:07,972 --> 00:38:09,769
They like their roads finished.
515
00:38:09,941 --> 00:38:11,169
That's right.
516
00:38:12,043 --> 00:38:13,601
What's right?
517
00:38:13,945 --> 00:38:16,641
Hey, Jack. Sadie, take Tiny
out of here, explain it to him.
518
00:38:16,814 --> 00:38:19,146
- He just said it and he don't get it.
- Come on, Tiny.
519
00:38:19,317 --> 00:38:21,182
- You want something to eat?
- No, thank you.
520
00:38:21,352 --> 00:38:22,785
- Well, sit down.
- Hi, Sadie.
521
00:38:22,954 --> 00:38:24,285
Hey.
522
00:38:27,792 --> 00:38:29,191
I heard you got fired.
523
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,920
Oh, you heard wrong. I quit.
524
00:38:32,096 --> 00:38:35,862
That's smart. When I get done with that
outfit, they won't be able to pay you...
525
00:38:36,034 --> 00:38:38,832
...nor the nigra
who sweeps the floor.
526
00:38:39,003 --> 00:38:41,733
- You want a job?
- Working for whom?
527
00:38:41,906 --> 00:38:44,932
- The state?
- Hell, no.
528
00:38:45,343 --> 00:38:46,640
Me.
529
00:38:46,811 --> 00:38:48,802
You, me, Sadie, Tiny.
530
00:38:48,980 --> 00:38:52,347
Tiny? I was surprised to hear
Tiny was back.
531
00:38:53,351 --> 00:38:56,047
Well, somebody gotta be
lieutenant governor.
532
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,288
Yeah, sure.
533
00:39:00,658 --> 00:39:02,990
I keep Tiny around...
534
00:39:03,194 --> 00:39:06,652
...to remind me of something
I never wanna forget.
535
00:39:07,398 --> 00:39:09,127
And that is?
536
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:14,264
When they come around
sweet-talking, don't listen.
537
00:39:14,806 --> 00:39:16,433
Never again.
538
00:39:19,777 --> 00:39:22,769
What would I be doing for you?
539
00:39:25,750 --> 00:39:27,843
Sweet-talking.
540
00:39:34,792 --> 00:39:36,851
All right, everybody.
541
00:39:37,028 --> 00:39:38,723
What on earth is that?
542
00:39:38,896 --> 00:39:41,160
- This is a ballista.
- A what?
543
00:39:41,332 --> 00:39:45,166
Jack will tell you all about it.
Jack, come on. Tell them.
544
00:39:45,336 --> 00:39:49,397
It's a pre-gunpowder weapon
fired with the tension of animal sinew.
545
00:39:49,574 --> 00:39:51,132
Oh, my God.
546
00:40:05,556 --> 00:40:06,784
Jack?
547
00:40:09,026 --> 00:40:12,462
Right. See the eagle
on top of the clock?
548
00:40:14,265 --> 00:40:15,755
One...
549
00:40:16,734 --> 00:40:17,962
...two....
550
00:40:32,550 --> 00:40:35,348
They say you're in politics,
Mr. Burden?
551
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,920
It must be fascinating
to be in politics.
552
00:40:38,489 --> 00:40:41,754
It's not, I assure you.
553
00:40:41,926 --> 00:40:44,451
Well, they say
you're very influential.
554
00:40:44,629 --> 00:40:47,655
It must be fascinating
to be very influential.
555
00:40:47,832 --> 00:40:49,129
I honestly wouldn't know.
556
00:40:49,300 --> 00:40:54,033
Don't let him kid you, Miss DuMonde.
My godson Jack is very influential.
557
00:40:54,205 --> 00:40:56,105
Like when he was a newspaperman.
558
00:40:56,274 --> 00:40:57,969
All right, then, yes, I'm influential.
559
00:40:58,142 --> 00:41:01,305
Any pals in the pen anyone
wants pardoned, I'll put in the word.
560
00:41:01,479 --> 00:41:03,913
Well, there is gonna be
somebody in the pen.
561
00:41:04,081 --> 00:41:06,743
Before it's over,
what's going on there?
562
00:41:06,918 --> 00:41:08,909
All these wild goings-on.
563
00:41:10,021 --> 00:41:14,117
Fella giving away the state.
Free this, free that, free the other.
564
00:41:14,292 --> 00:41:18,194
Every wool-hat jackass
thinking the world is free.
565
00:41:18,596 --> 00:41:20,689
Who's gonna pay?
That's what I wanna know.
566
00:41:21,365 --> 00:41:22,957
Who's he think's gonna pay?
567
00:41:23,134 --> 00:41:25,694
Standard Oil and the utility companies,
I imagine.
568
00:41:25,870 --> 00:41:28,338
And anyone else that can afford
to pay their share.
569
00:41:28,506 --> 00:41:30,701
You and me, George. We'll pay.
570
00:41:30,875 --> 00:41:32,706
Government's committed
these days...
571
00:41:32,877 --> 00:41:36,574
...giving services
we never heard of back when.
572
00:41:36,747 --> 00:41:41,116
And he's gonna tax this state to death.
Drive business right out.
573
00:41:41,285 --> 00:41:43,344
You don't think it boils down to this:
574
00:41:43,521 --> 00:41:45,580
If the government,
for quite a long time now...
575
00:41:45,756 --> 00:41:47,519
...had done anything
for the people...
576
00:41:47,692 --> 00:41:50,525
...they wouldn't have got fed up
and elected Mr. Stark.
577
00:41:51,495 --> 00:41:55,295
Well, you ask him this
next time you see him:
578
00:41:55,466 --> 00:41:59,835
Ask him how much grabbing there is,
all that money flowing.
579
00:42:00,872 --> 00:42:04,069
Then you ask him what's he gonna do
when they impeach him.
580
00:42:04,842 --> 00:42:07,242
There's a constitution in this state...
581
00:42:07,411 --> 00:42:10,676
...or was, before he blew it to hell.
582
00:42:11,549 --> 00:42:14,985
- I'll be sure to ask him.
- You do that.
583
00:42:15,152 --> 00:42:18,588
Jack, Miss DuMonde plays the piano.
584
00:42:19,390 --> 00:42:21,187
That's nice.
585
00:42:25,396 --> 00:42:29,492
You weren't like yourself today, son,
like you used to be.
586
00:42:29,667 --> 00:42:33,763
Mother, if I'm ever like I used to be,
do me a favor and shoot me.
587
00:42:36,407 --> 00:42:37,840
Who was that at lunch anyway?
588
00:42:38,009 --> 00:42:40,307
Mr. Peyton.
You've known him all your life.
589
00:42:40,478 --> 00:42:42,912
He builds electrical plants
or some such.
590
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,980
The girl, Mother. Miss DuMonde.
591
00:42:45,149 --> 00:42:50,143
That's Mr. Orton's sister's child
and she will inherit his money.
592
00:42:50,321 --> 00:42:53,222
Somebody ought to wait
until she inherits it, then marry her...
593
00:42:53,391 --> 00:42:56,087
...and drown her in her bathtub.
594
00:42:56,827 --> 00:42:59,853
Oh, don't worry,
I'd like to drown her but I won't.
595
00:43:00,898 --> 00:43:03,230
Was Mr. Peyton saying
those people you're with...
596
00:43:03,401 --> 00:43:06,302
...are mixed up in some sort of graft?
597
00:43:06,470 --> 00:43:08,631
Graft's what you call it
when who's doing it...
598
00:43:08,806 --> 00:43:11,741
...doesn't know which fork to use.
- Well, whatever you call it.
599
00:43:11,909 --> 00:43:14,036
- Because I worry to think that--
- I don't know.
600
00:43:14,211 --> 00:43:17,271
How would I, careful as I am not
to know what anybody anywhere...
601
00:43:17,481 --> 00:43:19,540
...is doing at any time?
602
00:43:33,731 --> 00:43:35,130
Oh, Jack, make a note.
603
00:43:35,299 --> 00:43:38,063
Find out where they got
Senator Tucson's boy locked up.
604
00:43:38,235 --> 00:43:41,568
- What's his name?
- The boy? Hell, I don't remember.
605
00:43:41,739 --> 00:43:44,173
Find out when's the trial,
get a lawyer down there.
606
00:43:45,743 --> 00:43:48,871
- Who? Evans?
- Not Evans.
607
00:43:49,046 --> 00:43:51,276
Find somebody
with less oil in his hair...
608
00:43:51,449 --> 00:43:53,280
...and don't look like he sing
with a band.
609
00:43:53,451 --> 00:43:55,817
Put one of your pals on it.
610
00:43:56,821 --> 00:43:58,618
You have any idea who it was got cut?
611
00:43:58,789 --> 00:44:02,657
I don't care if it was the sainted aunt
of the Apostle Paul.
612
00:44:02,827 --> 00:44:04,988
Well, I just happen to know.
613
00:44:05,162 --> 00:44:07,392
Fella's son of a doctor, paper said.
614
00:44:07,565 --> 00:44:10,762
They're pretty important around here,
you know, a doctor in the country.
615
00:44:10,935 --> 00:44:13,369
They think they're somebody.
616
00:44:13,537 --> 00:44:16,563
And maybe it gets out you're
trying to fix it to get the boy off.
617
00:44:16,741 --> 00:44:18,675
Wouldn't do you any good.
618
00:44:19,076 --> 00:44:22,136
- Now, it appears to me, maybe--
- You don't know a goddamn thing.
619
00:44:22,913 --> 00:44:24,642
Had you been listening...
620
00:44:24,815 --> 00:44:27,443
...I told Jack to prime
the lawyer through a pal.
621
00:44:27,618 --> 00:44:30,382
Find somebody who don't need to
see his name in lights.
622
00:44:30,554 --> 00:44:33,682
That way, nobody knows
who picked him wasn't me.
623
00:44:34,725 --> 00:44:38,991
Might as well been the pope
himself far as anybody knows.
624
00:44:39,563 --> 00:44:40,825
All right.
625
00:44:41,866 --> 00:44:43,493
I get you.
626
00:44:43,667 --> 00:44:45,658
Yeah, just barely.
627
00:45:03,354 --> 00:45:05,254
- Hey, there, Pop.
- How you doing, son?
628
00:45:05,923 --> 00:45:09,450
- How you making out?
- Oh, I'm getting along.
629
00:45:09,627 --> 00:45:11,993
Good to see you.
You looking good.
630
00:45:13,397 --> 00:45:17,197
- I brought the infantry here.
- How are you?
631
00:45:17,368 --> 00:45:20,303
- More prettier than ever.
- Hey, Grandpa.
632
00:45:20,638 --> 00:45:22,230
How you doing, buddy?
How's the arm?
633
00:45:22,406 --> 00:45:25,239
- He gonna be all-American.
- I know he is. I know he is.
634
00:45:27,478 --> 00:45:32,814
All right, governor, sir, here we go.
One, two....
635
00:45:58,809 --> 00:46:00,333
Bastard.
636
00:46:05,649 --> 00:46:07,344
Give me a slug.
637
00:46:10,788 --> 00:46:13,279
Pa don't favor drinking.
638
00:46:13,457 --> 00:46:15,982
Used to be Lucy didn't favor it.
639
00:46:18,329 --> 00:46:21,662
I don't know what she do
or don't favor no more.
640
00:46:21,999 --> 00:46:23,967
Not that it matters.
641
00:46:27,338 --> 00:46:32,105
Yeah, I must have poured 10,000
gallons of swill in them troughs.
642
00:46:33,010 --> 00:46:35,808
Still doing it. Pouring swill.
643
00:46:35,980 --> 00:46:38,380
Some things never change.
644
00:46:42,586 --> 00:46:43,575
Hey.
645
00:46:46,490 --> 00:46:49,084
- What's up?
- Judge Irwin.
646
00:46:51,595 --> 00:46:53,222
Judge Irwin what?
647
00:46:54,165 --> 00:46:56,429
- Spill it.
- I'll spill it when I have my breath.
648
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,898
You're using it up
explaining you don't have it.
649
00:46:59,069 --> 00:47:01,697
You think it's funny?
You won't when I tell you.
650
00:47:02,006 --> 00:47:04,804
- You tell me later.
- Byram rang up.
651
00:47:05,442 --> 00:47:08,036
He said the afternoon papers
have got the judge saying...
652
00:47:08,212 --> 00:47:11,545
...the allegations warrant
a full-on investigation.
653
00:47:12,449 --> 00:47:13,677
Two-timing bastard.
654
00:47:15,252 --> 00:47:17,720
That two-timing bastard.
655
00:47:19,890 --> 00:47:21,118
Clear them out.
656
00:47:21,292 --> 00:47:23,226
Tiny was figuring
on having supper up here.
657
00:47:23,394 --> 00:47:25,123
Clear them all out.
658
00:47:42,813 --> 00:47:44,246
Which way up there?
659
00:47:46,217 --> 00:47:49,084
Jack, tell Sugar
how to get to the house.
660
00:47:50,087 --> 00:47:52,681
It's your people live down here.
661
00:48:09,506 --> 00:48:10,996
Suppose he don't open up?
662
00:48:12,843 --> 00:48:15,334
Make him. What I pay you for?
663
00:48:27,691 --> 00:48:30,922
- Yeah, who is it?
- It's Jack.
664
00:48:32,596 --> 00:48:34,223
Jack?
665
00:48:34,398 --> 00:48:35,729
Well, I'll be.
666
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,231
Hey, come on in.
667
00:48:40,504 --> 00:48:42,233
You're not in any trouble, are you?
668
00:48:43,941 --> 00:48:46,205
No, Jack's not in any trouble.
669
00:48:46,377 --> 00:48:49,608
Matter of fact, he doing all right,
all things considered.
670
00:48:55,252 --> 00:48:59,052
I trust you don't mind
if Jack pours me a slug.
671
00:48:59,423 --> 00:49:01,857
I didn't know his duties
ran to those of manservant...
672
00:49:02,026 --> 00:49:04,460
...but if I'm mistaken, I'm sorry.
- Oh, hell.
673
00:49:04,628 --> 00:49:07,688
Sometimes Jack pours me a drink,
sometimes I pour him one.
674
00:49:07,865 --> 00:49:10,425
Sometimes I pour myself one.
675
00:49:10,934 --> 00:49:12,595
I could pour you one.
676
00:49:12,770 --> 00:49:14,465
No, thank you.
677
00:49:19,376 --> 00:49:21,037
This today's?
678
00:49:21,211 --> 00:49:24,442
Yeah, I don't get much time
to read the papers...
679
00:49:24,615 --> 00:49:27,413
...rushing around the state
doing the good work.
680
00:49:27,785 --> 00:49:30,413
Well, perhaps, I can relieve
your curiosity on one point.
681
00:49:30,587 --> 00:49:32,578
Somewhere in there's my opinion
on the severity...
682
00:49:32,756 --> 00:49:35,281
...of the allegations against you,
if that's of interest.
683
00:49:35,459 --> 00:49:37,586
Somebody told me that.
684
00:49:38,262 --> 00:49:41,231
But you know how rumor
hath a thousand tongues.
685
00:49:41,398 --> 00:49:45,027
And how them newspaper boys,
they can exaggerate some.
686
00:49:45,469 --> 00:49:47,096
It's no exaggeration.
687
00:49:48,238 --> 00:49:49,899
Yeah, I see.
688
00:49:51,241 --> 00:49:53,232
If you're clear on that
and finished with your drink...
689
00:49:53,410 --> 00:49:55,344
...I'd appreciate it
if you'd just get out.
690
00:49:55,512 --> 00:49:58,447
Hey, thank you, judge,
I think I will have just one more spot.
691
00:50:01,318 --> 00:50:04,776
So I see it there in the paper,
and I hear you say it...
692
00:50:04,955 --> 00:50:07,890
...but are you sure
you took it to the Lord in prayer?
693
00:50:08,592 --> 00:50:10,457
I settled it in my mind.
694
00:50:10,627 --> 00:50:14,085
See, that's unsettling.
695
00:50:14,264 --> 00:50:16,732
Because if I recollect right,
I recollect that...
696
00:50:16,900 --> 00:50:19,300
...when we had our conversation
in town that time...
697
00:50:19,470 --> 00:50:23,031
...you sort of felt like what MacMurphy
and his boys were saying about me...
698
00:50:23,307 --> 00:50:24,569
...was beneath contempt.
699
00:50:24,742 --> 00:50:27,540
I made no commitment to you
or to them, only to my conscience.
700
00:50:27,711 --> 00:50:30,737
- I beg your pardon, your what?
- I beg yours.
701
00:50:34,952 --> 00:50:38,319
You been toiling around politics too
long to use a word like conscience...
702
00:50:38,489 --> 00:50:40,013
...so easily.
703
00:50:40,190 --> 00:50:44,024
No, my change of conscience came
when certain features of your...
704
00:50:44,395 --> 00:50:47,193
...public services, shall we say,
came to my attention.
705
00:50:47,364 --> 00:50:50,265
Somebody dug something up for you?
In the dirt?
706
00:50:50,434 --> 00:50:53,369
Yeah, not just one thing
and not very deep.
707
00:50:53,937 --> 00:50:55,165
Well, dirt's a funny thing.
708
00:50:55,339 --> 00:50:59,969
Ain't nothing but dirt on God's green
earth except what's under the water.
709
00:51:00,144 --> 00:51:02,977
And that's dirt too,
come to think of it.
710
00:51:03,547 --> 00:51:05,208
Dirt makes the grass green...
711
00:51:05,749 --> 00:51:07,307
...let it breathe.
712
00:51:07,484 --> 00:51:11,511
The diamond on my wife's finger
ain't nothing but dirt got awful hot.
713
00:51:11,688 --> 00:51:14,657
What are we, but dirt blowed off
the hands of God almighty?
714
00:51:14,825 --> 00:51:17,851
You and me
and George Washington.
715
00:51:19,763 --> 00:51:21,196
And Jack there.
716
00:51:24,201 --> 00:51:25,498
Still doesn't alter the fact.
717
00:51:25,669 --> 00:51:29,537
I'm not trying to alter anything,
just illuminate it.
718
00:51:31,074 --> 00:51:32,302
Yeah.
719
00:51:32,476 --> 00:51:35,843
You saying MacMurphy and his bunch,
yelling for my impeachment...
720
00:51:36,013 --> 00:51:38,811
...they're responsible,
law-abiding men?
721
00:51:39,082 --> 00:51:42,347
Yeah, they're responsible all right,
to Alta Power and oil companies...
722
00:51:42,519 --> 00:51:43,986
...and the rest of them thieves.
723
00:51:44,154 --> 00:51:45,382
I wouldn't know about that.
724
00:51:45,556 --> 00:51:49,322
Only way to not know
is to not wanna know.
725
00:51:51,094 --> 00:51:54,825
I'm retired, Mr. Stark. A reporter
asked my opinion and I gave it.
726
00:51:54,998 --> 00:51:58,229
If you was retired, no reporter
would wanna ask you anything.
727
00:51:59,336 --> 00:52:01,463
What you say matters.
728
00:52:01,772 --> 00:52:04,434
A lot more than you pretend it don't.
729
00:52:06,276 --> 00:52:08,267
So I'm asking you...
730
00:52:09,179 --> 00:52:11,113
...call off the dogs.
731
00:52:12,216 --> 00:52:17,085
Asking is different than telling
and that sounded like telling to me.
732
00:52:17,821 --> 00:52:19,846
Didn't it to you, Jack?
733
00:52:24,228 --> 00:52:26,526
You been a judge a long time.
734
00:52:26,697 --> 00:52:28,324
Yes, I have.
735
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,868
How would it feel, do you think...
736
00:52:34,104 --> 00:52:36,629
...to not be one no more?
737
00:52:39,910 --> 00:52:43,175
No man has ever been able
to intimidate me.
738
00:52:43,347 --> 00:52:47,147
I said what I said and I see no reason
to say or think anything different.
739
00:52:47,951 --> 00:52:51,853
Despite your expositions
on laws and men, sir.
740
00:52:54,458 --> 00:52:55,686
Suit yourself.
741
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:00,691
You're right, Jack.
He don't scare easy.
742
00:53:03,066 --> 00:53:08,333
Judge, it's more in pain
than wrath I go.
743
00:53:08,906 --> 00:53:12,069
Let's go.
It's past Sugar Boy's bedtime.
744
00:53:13,243 --> 00:53:15,211
Your employer is calling you, Jack.
745
00:53:16,046 --> 00:53:19,015
I wouldn't go around
advertising this visit to anyone.
746
00:53:19,182 --> 00:53:20,979
In case you change your mind.
747
00:53:31,461 --> 00:53:33,190
Bastard.
748
00:53:34,097 --> 00:53:37,692
Well, Jackie,
you got a job cut out for you.
749
00:53:38,302 --> 00:53:41,738
- MacMurphy.
- No, the judge.
750
00:53:43,206 --> 00:53:45,174
You bring down the lion...
751
00:53:45,342 --> 00:53:49,210
...the rest of the jungle will quake
in fear and they'll all fall into line.
752
00:53:49,813 --> 00:53:53,044
- I won't find anything.
- Oh, yes, you will.
753
00:53:53,250 --> 00:53:57,914
A man is conceived in sin
and born in corruption...
754
00:53:58,088 --> 00:54:01,546
...and passeth from the stink of
the didie to the stench of the shroud.
755
00:54:03,627 --> 00:54:05,492
You'll find something.
756
00:54:06,330 --> 00:54:07,888
And make it stick.
757
00:54:16,506 --> 00:54:20,237
Apart from pleasing the boss,
I could see little advantage...
758
00:54:20,410 --> 00:54:26,076
... in finding anything beyond what
was already known about Judge Irwin.
759
00:54:28,852 --> 00:54:32,015
What was known
was that he was kind to you...
760
00:54:32,189 --> 00:54:35,920
... when your father left you
and your mother without saying why.
761
00:54:38,428 --> 00:54:40,293
What was known
was that he taught you...
762
00:54:40,464 --> 00:54:42,932
... the things your father
should have:
763
00:54:44,001 --> 00:54:46,128
How to be a gentleman.
764
00:54:46,336 --> 00:54:48,930
How to firmly shake a hand.
765
00:54:49,439 --> 00:54:53,136
How to safely load a shotgun
and lead a duck if you wanted to hit it.
766
00:54:56,947 --> 00:54:58,881
What was known...
767
00:54:59,383 --> 00:55:03,251
... was that he was more of a father
to you than your real father...
768
00:55:05,422 --> 00:55:07,856
... who you didn't know at all.
769
00:56:33,810 --> 00:56:35,778
Hold it, please.
770
00:56:36,313 --> 00:56:38,577
Governor's penthouse.
771
00:56:43,487 --> 00:56:46,547
How you doing digging
something up on Judge Irwin?
772
00:56:46,923 --> 00:56:48,413
Nothing.
773
00:56:48,625 --> 00:56:50,855
Nothing. Found nothing
or done nothing?
774
00:56:51,027 --> 00:56:55,054
There was nothing to find. I could
dig to China, wouldn't find anything.
775
00:56:55,232 --> 00:56:57,063
- And I'm not framing him.
- Framing?
776
00:56:57,234 --> 00:56:59,259
Ain't nobody talking about framing.
777
00:56:59,436 --> 00:57:00,801
That's never necessary.
778
00:57:00,971 --> 00:57:03,963
The truth is always sufficient.
You just find the truth.
779
00:57:04,374 --> 00:57:05,898
It's a waste of time and money.
780
00:57:06,076 --> 00:57:08,544
Jesus, doesn't anybody listen
to what I say anymore?
781
00:57:08,712 --> 00:57:12,273
You don't wanna do it, don't do it.
Or are you just looking for a raise?
782
00:57:12,983 --> 00:57:15,884
I'm gonna give you $ 100 raise
whether you want it or not.
783
00:57:16,052 --> 00:57:17,644
If I wanted more money, I'd make it.
784
00:57:19,623 --> 00:57:21,648
You gonna tell me
you work for me for love?
785
00:57:21,825 --> 00:57:24,726
I don't know why I work for you,
but it ain't for love or money.
786
00:57:24,895 --> 00:57:26,294
Well, that's right, it's not.
787
00:57:27,197 --> 00:57:29,427
And you don't know why.
788
00:57:31,434 --> 00:57:32,833
But I do.
789
00:57:34,237 --> 00:57:35,636
Why?
790
00:57:35,972 --> 00:57:40,773
Boy, you work for me
because I'm the way I am...
791
00:57:40,944 --> 00:57:43,310
...and you the way you are...
792
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:47,439
...and that's just an arrangement
founded in the natural order of things.
793
00:57:55,258 --> 00:57:57,624
She sure could skate.
794
00:58:01,298 --> 00:58:03,027
Right now...
795
00:58:03,567 --> 00:58:05,831
...hidden away in chambers...
796
00:58:06,303 --> 00:58:09,431
...not out here in the open
like you and me...
797
00:58:10,607 --> 00:58:14,008
...there's a legislature
full of hyena-headed...
798
00:58:14,177 --> 00:58:17,613
...belly-dragging sons of bitches...
799
00:58:17,848 --> 00:58:21,477
...setting around trying to figure out
how to impeach me.
800
00:58:23,019 --> 00:58:26,182
Now, they say it's because
I got crooks on the payroll.
801
00:58:26,356 --> 00:58:28,221
I say, "Is that all?"
802
00:58:29,326 --> 00:58:32,295
Of course I got them.
I got a can of oil in the garage too...
803
00:58:32,462 --> 00:58:34,225
...because there ain't a machine
made by man...
804
00:58:34,397 --> 00:58:38,800
...don't need a squirt of that
from time to time just to keep running!
805
00:58:41,571 --> 00:58:43,801
But my crooks...
806
00:58:45,008 --> 00:58:47,203
...unlike theirs...
807
00:58:47,377 --> 00:58:50,278
...are all atremble...
808
00:58:50,513 --> 00:58:52,879
...to be too crooked.
809
00:58:53,750 --> 00:58:57,481
They're itty-bitty compared
to their crooks in there.
810
00:58:57,654 --> 00:59:00,122
The Standard Oil
and the power companies.
811
00:59:00,290 --> 00:59:02,485
Besides, I got my eye on mine.
812
00:59:02,659 --> 00:59:05,287
Ain't nobody watching
over these crooks.
813
00:59:05,896 --> 00:59:08,922
Ain't nobody got their eye on them...
814
00:59:09,099 --> 00:59:13,468
...while they rob
the resources of this state!
815
00:59:14,905 --> 00:59:17,703
Who made that son of a bitch
what he is? Who made him governor?
816
00:59:17,874 --> 00:59:20,308
And he goes and two-times me?
I'll kill him.
817
00:59:20,777 --> 00:59:23,473
No, he's two-timing Lucy.
818
00:59:23,647 --> 00:59:26,844
You need some other kind of
arithmetic for what he's doing to you.
819
00:59:27,017 --> 00:59:30,077
Lucy, she's a fool. She's....
820
00:59:31,054 --> 00:59:33,614
- I don't know what.
- His wife.
821
00:59:34,758 --> 00:59:38,626
A hick with a college degree
from some Baptist hole in the ground.
822
00:59:41,097 --> 00:59:42,894
What was she like?
823
00:59:43,867 --> 00:59:46,927
- I didn't know Lucy any further back--
- The slut on skates.
824
00:59:48,238 --> 00:59:50,570
I don't know,
I was looking at her skates.
825
00:59:50,740 --> 00:59:52,731
Sure you were.
826
00:59:55,111 --> 00:59:58,274
- Was she pretty?
- Look, just forget it.
827
00:59:59,716 --> 01:00:01,616
How young was she?
828
01:00:02,519 --> 01:00:05,283
- Who cares?
- Look at me.
829
01:00:20,470 --> 01:00:24,770
He'll be back.
The world is full of sluts on skates.
830
01:00:26,609 --> 01:00:31,012
Skates, grass skirts, geisha outfits.
831
01:00:36,786 --> 01:00:38,811
Contortionists.
832
01:00:42,058 --> 01:00:46,324
Every man a king
Every man a king
833
01:00:46,496 --> 01:00:50,660
For you can be a millionaire
834
01:00:50,834 --> 01:00:54,827
But there's something
Belonging to others
835
01:00:55,005 --> 01:00:58,805
Well, there's enough
For all people to share
836
01:00:59,242 --> 01:01:03,611
When it's sunny June
Or December too
837
01:01:03,780 --> 01:01:07,181
In the wintertime or spring
838
01:01:07,851 --> 01:01:09,944
Well, there'll be peace without end
839
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:12,452
Every neighbor a friend
840
01:01:12,622 --> 01:01:16,285
With every man a king
841
01:01:23,500 --> 01:01:26,992
The judge married money.
Savannah money.
842
01:01:27,170 --> 01:01:29,798
The daughter of an industrialist
out there.
843
01:01:29,973 --> 01:01:31,941
He's clean, Willie.
He's washed in the blood.
844
01:01:34,344 --> 01:01:37,905
- You call yourself a detective.
- I'm most certainly not--
845
01:01:38,081 --> 01:01:40,845
The son of a bitch
is washed in whitewash!
846
01:01:41,017 --> 01:01:42,678
- Wanting it isn't the same as being it.
- I know!
847
01:01:42,852 --> 01:01:45,343
- I can feel it.
- That isn't the same either.
848
01:01:45,522 --> 01:01:47,387
Where did you find this itty-bitty out?
849
01:01:47,557 --> 01:01:49,422
Hall of Records. It's all there.
850
01:01:49,592 --> 01:01:51,890
Marriage licenses,
property deeds, public record.
851
01:01:52,062 --> 01:01:55,828
The public record is for the public,
not us. That's why it's called that.
852
01:01:55,999 --> 01:01:57,728
You ain't gonna find nothing there!
853
01:01:58,668 --> 01:02:01,228
Now, I told you to dig,
not scuff your shoe a little bit.
854
01:02:01,387 --> 01:02:04,720
- You gotta get out and talk to them.
- To whom?
855
01:02:05,191 --> 01:02:06,886
The public.
856
01:02:07,427 --> 01:02:09,156
The people who knew him.
857
01:02:09,328 --> 01:02:10,818
This was a long time ago.
858
01:02:10,997 --> 01:02:15,331
Well, look, he's still alive, isn't he?
Causing trouble.
859
01:02:15,501 --> 01:02:18,493
So you gotta chafe up your hands
a little, for chrissake...
860
01:02:18,671 --> 01:02:20,832
...like the rest of us.
861
01:02:26,345 --> 01:02:28,745
Where the hell is everybody?
862
01:02:29,549 --> 01:02:33,349
Whatever there was to find
in the case of the upright judge...
863
01:02:33,519 --> 01:02:36,317
... would be long-buried
in the past...
864
01:02:36,489 --> 01:02:39,390
... like a dead cat in the back yard.
865
01:02:42,395 --> 01:02:44,260
But what could be buried there
like that...
866
01:02:45,565 --> 01:02:48,261
... in a place like Burden's Landing?
867
01:02:48,634 --> 01:02:51,125
Where you and your friends
grew up...
868
01:02:51,304 --> 01:02:55,070
... shaded
by 300-year-old live oaks...
869
01:02:55,274 --> 01:02:57,834
... and the sense
of your own entitlement.
870
01:02:59,445 --> 01:03:04,075
To dig around that past
in that back yard...
871
01:03:04,317 --> 01:03:09,983
... you must first- - You tell yourself.
- seek out the girl from that past:
872
01:03:10,523 --> 01:03:12,388
Anne Stanton.
873
01:03:12,558 --> 01:03:15,254
The daughter of the governor
back then.
874
01:03:15,595 --> 01:03:18,689
The little sister
of your best friend, Adam...
875
01:03:20,366 --> 01:03:22,095
... who, one day, you noticed...
876
01:03:22,268 --> 01:03:25,203
... and it struck you
kind of all of a sudden...
877
01:03:25,371 --> 01:03:27,737
... wasn't little anymore.
878
01:03:30,576 --> 01:03:33,773
She was the first one
you loved like that.
879
01:03:34,213 --> 01:03:37,046
And the last, it turns out.
880
01:03:39,185 --> 01:03:41,653
So you hold on to her pictures
in your mind...
881
01:03:42,388 --> 01:03:44,219
... year after year...
882
01:03:44,390 --> 01:03:48,520
... in the belief that someday
it'll be like that again...
883
01:03:48,694 --> 01:03:51,128
... even though
you have no evidence.
884
01:03:53,132 --> 01:03:54,997
In church, they call this faith.
885
01:03:56,869 --> 01:03:58,928
So that's what I'll call it.
886
01:03:59,472 --> 01:04:02,999
Every month or so,
I come out here and light a fire.
887
01:04:03,242 --> 01:04:05,233
Dry the place out.
888
01:04:07,813 --> 01:04:10,714
I know it doesn't really
accomplish that...
889
01:04:10,883 --> 01:04:14,410
...but I got a feeling if I didn't,
if nobody ever came...
890
01:04:15,421 --> 01:04:17,889
...the place would just one day
cave in on itself.
891
01:04:18,724 --> 01:04:20,282
Adam never comes out?
892
01:04:20,459 --> 01:04:22,484
No. Not anymore.
893
01:04:23,696 --> 01:04:26,688
He took the piano, or someone did.
894
01:04:26,899 --> 01:04:30,198
Took it and put it in that place
he's living. Have you seen it?
895
01:04:32,638 --> 01:04:36,404
God forbid my brother
ever spent any money on himself.
896
01:04:36,742 --> 01:04:38,869
Or that people knew it.
897
01:04:42,315 --> 01:04:44,215
How's your wife?
898
01:04:44,450 --> 01:04:47,510
I'm sorry, I've forgotten her name.
899
01:04:48,955 --> 01:04:51,423
That didn't quite work out
as I'd hoped.
900
01:04:52,592 --> 01:04:55,186
A lot of tangled bedclothes
and unspoken loathing...
901
01:04:55,361 --> 01:04:57,693
...then spoken loathing
and no tangled bedclothes.
902
01:05:00,132 --> 01:05:03,101
Didn't I read of your engagement
in the society column?
903
01:05:03,269 --> 01:05:06,796
Which you know
I always turn to first in the paper.
904
01:05:07,540 --> 01:05:10,202
I was engaged. More than once.
905
01:05:11,344 --> 01:05:12,811
Adam didn't care for any of them.
906
01:05:14,013 --> 01:05:17,744
- Why that should matter, I don't know.
- Who needs them, anyway?
907
01:05:25,258 --> 01:05:30,195
Anne, way back,
was Judge Irwin ever broke?
908
01:05:31,430 --> 01:05:32,658
What?
909
01:05:33,099 --> 01:05:35,533
Judges don't make
the kind of money your father did...
910
01:05:35,701 --> 01:05:37,566
...or my father,
or anyone who lives here.
911
01:05:38,271 --> 01:05:41,240
Why on earth would you want
to know such a thing?
912
01:05:41,407 --> 01:05:44,934
- Someone asked me and I didn't know.
- Asked you what?
913
01:05:45,511 --> 01:05:47,411
What I just asked you.
914
01:05:47,580 --> 01:05:49,138
Why?
915
01:05:51,851 --> 01:05:53,842
Oh, Jack,
what are you doing for that man?
916
01:05:54,020 --> 01:05:56,750
- That man.
- Whatever it is, don't.
917
01:05:56,922 --> 01:06:00,050
That man is what those pushed
away from the trough call him.
918
01:06:00,226 --> 01:06:03,753
Those invited to it
should find another name.
919
01:06:03,929 --> 01:06:06,489
Accepting state money
for scholarships...
920
01:06:06,666 --> 01:06:08,725
...is different
from being on his payroll.
921
01:06:08,901 --> 01:06:11,927
- Is it?
- Yes, it is.
922
01:06:16,976 --> 01:06:19,638
- Oh, don't ruin it.
- What?
923
01:06:20,112 --> 01:06:21,739
Don't ruin this?
924
01:06:21,914 --> 01:06:25,475
Or that fine, beautiful time
we all had here once?
925
01:06:26,519 --> 01:06:28,646
You sure that's what it was?
926
01:06:29,588 --> 01:06:33,581
- Yes.
- Then why did it turn into this time?
927
01:06:34,193 --> 01:06:37,128
With me drinking myself to death...
928
01:06:37,296 --> 01:06:40,663
...Adam getting more reclusive
and strange...
929
01:06:40,833 --> 01:06:44,599
...and you once a month coming out
to a house with the electricity cut off?
930
01:06:45,738 --> 01:06:48,206
This time came from that time.
931
01:06:51,344 --> 01:06:53,073
We should go.
932
01:06:54,814 --> 01:06:56,213
The fire can burn.
933
01:06:56,949 --> 01:06:59,179
It will anyway, you know, one day.
934
01:06:59,352 --> 01:07:00,785
What will what anyway?
935
01:07:02,521 --> 01:07:04,921
Cave in on itself.
936
01:07:06,492 --> 01:07:08,221
Everything.
937
01:08:06,619 --> 01:08:09,452
Is the Seaboard Bank in Savannah?
938
01:08:09,622 --> 01:08:12,352
Not since 1938.
939
01:08:12,691 --> 01:08:14,488
What happened in '38?
940
01:08:14,660 --> 01:08:17,527
Bought out by Georgia Fidelity.
941
01:08:17,930 --> 01:08:20,398
Got any idea
who was president then?
942
01:08:21,133 --> 01:08:22,964
Franklin Roosevelt.
943
01:08:24,403 --> 01:08:27,839
Ma'am, of the bank.
944
01:08:28,073 --> 01:08:31,099
LeMoyne Carruthers was my friend.
945
01:08:31,444 --> 01:08:33,309
A dear friend.
946
01:08:34,380 --> 01:08:39,579
And his daughter, Mabel,
well, I did what I could for her...
947
01:08:39,752 --> 01:08:43,085
...even after her financial reversal.
948
01:08:44,723 --> 01:08:48,250
The year of her financial reversal
was roughly what?
949
01:08:48,427 --> 01:08:50,395
She threw that inheritance away.
950
01:08:50,930 --> 01:08:53,398
Two or three notes I paid myself.
951
01:08:53,599 --> 01:08:56,432
For the memory of LeMoyne,
my dear friend.
952
01:08:56,602 --> 01:09:01,733
But she'd come back at me without
shame and say, "I want money."
953
01:09:01,907 --> 01:09:06,105
For parties and balls
and to adorn herself.
954
01:09:06,278 --> 01:09:09,179
For she was plain, to be kind.
955
01:09:09,448 --> 01:09:11,507
Then she was broke
when she met the judge.
956
01:09:11,851 --> 01:09:14,649
So was he. This is when
he was still attorney general...
957
01:09:14,820 --> 01:09:17,288
...under Governor Stanton
pulling down 3400 a year...
958
01:09:17,456 --> 01:09:22,120
...while paying off liens on his place
on the Row to the tune of 42,000.
959
01:09:23,596 --> 01:09:26,326
Well, you see there,
you are a detective.
960
01:09:26,499 --> 01:09:28,126
You dug and chinked
the metal box...
961
01:09:28,300 --> 01:09:31,428
...and are enjoying the sound of it
a bit, if I'm not mistaken.
962
01:09:31,604 --> 01:09:32,935
Might still be empty.
963
01:09:33,105 --> 01:09:35,096
No, it's full.
964
01:09:35,274 --> 01:09:37,902
Crawling with maggots
by now, maybe...
965
01:09:38,077 --> 01:09:41,342
...but still a little something they was
chewing on. Just have to look.
966
01:09:41,547 --> 01:09:44,345
Still have to find the key.
And that ain't gonna be easy.
967
01:09:44,550 --> 01:09:47,314
Well, there's nothing easy
that means anything.
968
01:09:47,486 --> 01:09:49,283
You'll do it. I have faith.
969
01:09:50,956 --> 01:09:53,288
I like this one, Slade.
970
01:09:55,828 --> 01:10:01,130
Now, they all is yelling that I got
no right to what's on their table.
971
01:10:01,300 --> 01:10:04,133
What's on their table is theirs.
972
01:10:05,037 --> 01:10:08,006
I'm not trying to take it.
973
01:10:08,173 --> 01:10:11,404
"Go ahead, sit down at that table,"
I tell.
974
01:10:11,744 --> 01:10:15,180
"Have all you want to eat.
Eat till you can't eat no more.
975
01:10:15,347 --> 01:10:19,215
Now, what's left on that table...
976
01:10:19,385 --> 01:10:22,548
...when you can't eat no more,
even if you tried...
977
01:10:22,721 --> 01:10:27,954
...leave that there
because that's for the rest of us."
978
01:10:30,696 --> 01:10:34,860
And for that, they're trying to ruin me.
979
01:10:35,034 --> 01:10:37,559
For taking
what they left on the table...
980
01:10:37,736 --> 01:10:41,228
...and using it
to build something for you!
981
01:10:42,041 --> 01:10:46,171
To build 3000 miles
of paved highways...
982
01:10:46,345 --> 01:10:50,338
...a hundred and eleven new bridges,
208 new schools...
983
01:10:50,516 --> 01:10:54,077
...60,000 brand-new jobs!
984
01:10:59,625 --> 01:11:02,321
Now, they wanna ruin me...
985
01:11:05,230 --> 01:11:07,664
...because they wanna ruin you.
986
01:11:09,335 --> 01:11:13,999
But your will is my strength.
987
01:11:14,907 --> 01:11:18,365
Your need is my justice.
988
01:11:18,544 --> 01:11:22,810
And I won't let them!
989
01:11:35,027 --> 01:11:37,723
It come to me in a dream.
990
01:11:38,097 --> 01:11:41,396
Whilst you were up in Savannah with
your pail and shovel, eating oysters.
991
01:11:41,567 --> 01:11:42,795
What did?
992
01:11:43,435 --> 01:11:47,064
I'm gonna build me
the best-staffed, best-equipped...
993
01:11:47,239 --> 01:11:50,208
...biggest goddamn health center
this state ever saw.
994
01:11:50,376 --> 01:11:53,903
This country ever saw.
The All-Father hisself.
995
01:11:54,079 --> 01:11:58,015
You want me to do what
to further this noble enterprise?
996
01:11:58,183 --> 01:12:00,242
Deliver me my chief of staff.
997
01:12:00,419 --> 01:12:03,217
Fine. You give me a list
of who you're thinking to run it.
998
01:12:03,389 --> 01:12:04,822
Only one name on it:
999
01:12:05,324 --> 01:12:07,155
Dr. Adam Stanton.
1000
01:12:07,326 --> 01:12:11,660
That's my boy, Tom! That's the way!
You see that?
1001
01:12:11,864 --> 01:12:16,631
That's an all-American pass.
Goddamn it. Attaboy, Tom!
1002
01:12:22,474 --> 01:12:26,308
Well, somebody gotta
run this hospital.
1003
01:12:26,478 --> 01:12:28,912
He's gotta be the best, don't he?
1004
01:12:29,081 --> 01:12:32,482
- Adam Stanton is not the best.
- Well, he is for what I need.
1005
01:12:32,651 --> 01:12:34,619
They'll never approve
the money otherwise.
1006
01:12:35,354 --> 01:12:37,015
Willie, Adam's an old friend of mine.
1007
01:12:37,189 --> 01:12:39,316
As I certainly know,
else I wouldn't be asking.
1008
01:12:39,491 --> 01:12:41,516
I know him and I know you.
He won't do it.
1009
01:12:42,027 --> 01:12:43,722
What's wrong with me?
1010
01:12:43,896 --> 01:12:46,023
To him, what isn't?
1011
01:12:46,198 --> 01:12:48,166
You're everything
his father fought against.
1012
01:12:48,333 --> 01:12:50,528
He hates what you represent,
if not you yourself.
1013
01:12:51,103 --> 01:12:53,594
I'm not asking him to love me.
1014
01:12:53,772 --> 01:12:56,002
- I'm asking him to run a hospital.
- Your hospital.
1015
01:12:56,175 --> 01:12:59,542
The people's hospital, where any poor
redneck and nigger can get the best...
1016
01:12:59,712 --> 01:13:02,078
...without paying a dime.
He ought to like that.
1017
01:13:02,247 --> 01:13:06,479
No. What you're asking is for him
to put his family's name next to yours.
1018
01:13:06,652 --> 01:13:09,120
So you can trot him out
in front of senators and say:
1019
01:13:09,288 --> 01:13:11,654
"Lookie here,
lookie who I got standing next to me.
1020
01:13:11,824 --> 01:13:14,987
The son of the most honorable man
who ever served this state."
1021
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:16,889
Just get him.
1022
01:13:24,570 --> 01:13:26,868
Not easy being the son
of a great man.
1023
01:13:28,974 --> 01:13:32,068
It don't look so hard
for my boy Tom out there.
1024
01:13:33,879 --> 01:13:35,676
Far as you know.
1025
01:13:46,925 --> 01:13:48,722
We should go.
1026
01:13:49,928 --> 01:13:53,659
Not yet. Let's go in again.
1027
01:14:09,548 --> 01:14:12,176
The friend of your youth...
1028
01:14:12,718 --> 01:14:15,619
... is the only friend you'll ever have.
1029
01:14:15,788 --> 01:14:18,086
For he doesn't really see you.
1030
01:14:20,092 --> 01:14:24,620
He sees in his mind a face,
which doesn't exist anymore.
1031
01:14:24,797 --> 01:14:26,662
And speaks a name- -
1032
01:14:26,832 --> 01:14:32,566
Spike, Bud, Red, Rusty, Jack.
1033
01:14:32,905 --> 01:14:37,069
- that belongs
to that now nonexistent face.
1034
01:14:38,410 --> 01:14:41,846
He's still the young idealist
you used to be.
1035
01:14:42,147 --> 01:14:45,480
Still sees good and bad
in black and white...
1036
01:14:45,818 --> 01:14:48,946
... and men as sinners or saints,
but never both.
1037
01:14:49,121 --> 01:14:52,147
- Hey, Adam.
- Feels superior in the knowledge...
1038
01:14:52,324 --> 01:14:55,054
... that you no longer
can distinguish the two.
1039
01:14:55,227 --> 01:14:57,422
- Jack.
- That's what drives you to it...
1040
01:14:57,596 --> 01:15:00,030
- ... try to stick the knife in.
- Come on in.
1041
01:15:00,199 --> 01:15:03,600
For there's a kind
of snobbery in failure.
1042
01:15:03,769 --> 01:15:06,829
Like the twist
to the mouth of a drunk.
1043
01:15:09,107 --> 01:15:10,472
You're looking good, Jack.
1044
01:15:10,642 --> 01:15:13,042
Thank you.
I'll take that as a compliment.
1045
01:15:16,582 --> 01:15:18,447
Been playing much?
1046
01:15:18,817 --> 01:15:20,614
Who wants to know, my sister?
1047
01:15:21,086 --> 01:15:23,213
It was just a question.
1048
01:15:24,022 --> 01:15:28,652
- Everything good?
- Yes, Jack, everything's good.
1049
01:15:28,961 --> 01:15:31,327
All right.
I'm gonna tell you something.
1050
01:15:31,496 --> 01:15:34,863
I don't want you to start yelling at me
until I'm finished.
1051
01:15:35,300 --> 01:15:37,165
Governor Stark
wants you as director...
1052
01:15:37,336 --> 01:15:39,998
...of the medical center he's building.
Whatever you want...
1053
01:15:40,572 --> 01:15:43,040
...all you have to do is say,
it's yours.
1054
01:15:43,208 --> 01:15:44,698
- Money?
- I didn't say that.
1055
01:15:44,877 --> 01:15:48,574
What do I want money for?
I got everything I want. Look around.
1056
01:15:48,747 --> 01:15:49,975
I didn't say money.
1057
01:15:50,148 --> 01:15:52,981
Then what?
What's next when that doesn't work?
1058
01:15:53,151 --> 01:15:55,676
- A threat of some kind?
- Of course not.
1059
01:15:55,854 --> 01:15:58,254
That's how he gets things done?
What he relies on?
1060
01:15:58,423 --> 01:15:59,981
The bribe and the threat?
1061
01:16:00,292 --> 01:16:04,228
I would never do that to you
or let anyone else. You know that.
1062
01:16:04,763 --> 01:16:07,061
I don't know what you think
he's thinking, Jack...
1063
01:16:07,232 --> 01:16:10,599
...or what you're thinking,
but couldn't be flattery.
1064
01:16:10,769 --> 01:16:13,829
He's thinking what he thinks about
anybody he wants something from...
1065
01:16:14,006 --> 01:16:16,236
...who doesn't wanna give it.
- Something from their past.
1066
01:16:16,675 --> 01:16:19,701
- You just said he wasn't.
- Not their past, their weakness.
1067
01:16:19,878 --> 01:16:21,971
- Same thing.
- No, it isn't.
1068
01:16:22,147 --> 01:16:25,173
I'm not gonna debate it with you, Jack.
We're not in school anymore.
1069
01:16:25,350 --> 01:16:28,581
I don't care if you know I'm right.
I don't care if I am right. But I am.
1070
01:16:32,591 --> 01:16:35,082
Then what is it, Jack?
What is my weakness?
1071
01:16:36,561 --> 01:16:38,620
You can't look at anybody
with something broke...
1072
01:16:38,797 --> 01:16:40,355
...without wanting to fix it.
1073
01:16:40,532 --> 01:16:42,898
- And that's a weakness?
- Some would say.
1074
01:16:43,068 --> 01:16:44,296
You would say.
1075
01:16:45,337 --> 01:16:47,430
- It's no disgrace.
- Well, then tell me, Jack.
1076
01:16:47,606 --> 01:16:49,631
Tell me, please.
How is that a weakness?
1077
01:16:51,143 --> 01:16:53,907
- I don't need to tell you.
- I think you do.
1078
01:16:54,079 --> 01:16:57,048
If you don't know, I'll leave you
to think about it. It'll come to you.
1079
01:16:57,215 --> 01:16:59,775
No, it won't, Jack.
And you'll have to go to your boss...
1080
01:16:59,952 --> 01:17:02,546
...and tell him you failed
without taking out the big guns.
1081
01:17:02,721 --> 01:17:05,986
So tell me, for your sake,
how is that a weakness?
1082
01:17:06,158 --> 01:17:08,956
Because it makes you do things
you don't wanna do.
1083
01:17:09,127 --> 01:17:11,027
If they're good.
1084
01:17:11,196 --> 01:17:13,926
And this is. He may not be...
1085
01:17:14,967 --> 01:17:16,696
...but this is.
1086
01:17:30,082 --> 01:17:32,107
It was good to see you, Adam.
1087
01:18:04,504 --> 01:18:08,759
Now, before I tell y'all the story
about how this great university...
1088
01:18:09,445 --> 01:18:11,969
...changed the life of a boy
from Mason City...
1089
01:18:11,989 --> 01:18:14,589
...who, by all rights,
should still be swilling hogs...
1090
01:18:15,729 --> 01:18:19,079
...first, I'm gonna set your minds at ease
on another point of interest.
1091
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:21,487
I brung my checkbook with me.
1092
01:18:27,659 --> 01:18:30,673
- You own one share?
- I do. I just bought it.
1093
01:18:31,046 --> 01:18:32,899
Now, that gives me the right
as a stockholder...
1094
01:18:32,912 --> 01:18:36,134
...to view the company's
equity records, doesn't it?
1095
01:18:45,669 --> 01:18:47,335
Governor, sir?
1096
01:19:44,208 --> 01:19:46,142
Miss Littlepaugh?
1097
01:19:55,519 --> 01:19:57,419
You're from the insurance company.
1098
01:19:57,821 --> 01:20:00,221
No, no, I'm not.
1099
01:20:00,390 --> 01:20:02,688
But I know about your brother's
insurance policy.
1100
01:20:04,795 --> 01:20:06,786
Not that there was much left on it
to collect.
1101
01:20:06,964 --> 01:20:09,762
He borrowed against it
almost down to nothing. Didn't he?
1102
01:20:10,167 --> 01:20:12,226
Which means you lied...
1103
01:20:12,402 --> 01:20:14,199
...for almost nothing.
1104
01:20:14,571 --> 01:20:18,337
Now, don't you go
jumping out a window.
1105
01:20:19,076 --> 01:20:20,771
It wasn't the money...
1106
01:20:20,944 --> 01:20:23,037
...it was the disgrace.
1107
01:20:23,213 --> 01:20:25,647
I wanted him buried in the good part
of the cemetery...
1108
01:20:26,316 --> 01:20:28,716
...not in the back,
with all the sinners.
1109
01:20:28,886 --> 01:20:31,013
Why did he kill himself?
1110
01:20:31,321 --> 01:20:36,281
They drove him to it.
To make room for that thief, Irwin.
1111
01:20:37,294 --> 01:20:39,626
My brother went
to the Justice Department...
1112
01:20:39,796 --> 01:20:42,765
...and told them he knew
all about their man Irwin...
1113
01:20:42,933 --> 01:20:44,423
...and the bribes...
1114
01:20:44,601 --> 01:20:45,932
...but they wouldn't listen.
1115
01:20:48,906 --> 01:20:52,273
- Are you lying to me?
- No, that's what killed him.
1116
01:20:52,676 --> 01:20:54,940
He wrote the letter to me
and told me.
1117
01:20:55,112 --> 01:20:57,478
And then that night he....
1118
01:20:58,448 --> 01:21:02,646
All right, wait. What letter?
1119
01:21:02,819 --> 01:21:05,219
The letter he wrote me
explaining it all.
1120
01:21:05,389 --> 01:21:08,790
The lawsuit Irwin was paid
to let up on...
1121
01:21:08,959 --> 01:21:11,154
...and how the power company
hid the payoffs...
1122
01:21:11,328 --> 01:21:15,230
...by firing my brother
and giving Irwin his job.
1123
01:21:17,067 --> 01:21:19,035
Where's the letter now?
What happened to it?
1124
01:21:19,202 --> 01:21:20,635
Oh, I have it.
1125
01:21:21,538 --> 01:21:22,971
Kept it all this time?
1126
01:21:25,709 --> 01:21:27,939
You have the letter here?
1127
01:21:33,350 --> 01:21:35,375
You bring down the lion...
1128
01:21:35,552 --> 01:21:37,611
... the rest of the jungle
will quake in fear...
1129
01:21:37,788 --> 01:21:39,653
... and they'll all fall into line.
1130
01:21:41,725 --> 01:21:44,523
Your employer is calling you, Jack.
1131
01:21:51,101 --> 01:21:53,160
Thank you.
1132
01:22:24,735 --> 01:22:26,168
Hello.
1133
01:22:26,436 --> 01:22:28,301
Hello, Anne.
1134
01:22:32,442 --> 01:22:35,411
- What's that?
- Orange soda.
1135
01:22:35,579 --> 01:22:36,841
Two straws.
1136
01:22:38,048 --> 01:22:41,848
- I think I might want something else.
- I didn't say one of them was for you.
1137
01:22:42,586 --> 01:22:45,578
It's the way it's drunk. Tradition.
1138
01:22:49,626 --> 01:22:53,392
- I know you went to see Adam.
- I did. What of it?
1139
01:22:53,563 --> 01:22:55,622
What did you say to him?
1140
01:22:55,799 --> 01:22:59,860
I went there and I offered him a job.
No use blaming me.
1141
01:23:00,037 --> 01:23:02,597
- I'm not blaming you.
- Well, that's what it sounds like.
1142
01:23:02,773 --> 01:23:06,766
That's what you sound like.
If you could hear yourself.
1143
01:23:06,943 --> 01:23:09,036
I want him to take it.
I want you to go back...
1144
01:23:09,212 --> 01:23:11,305
...and ask him again.
1145
01:23:12,049 --> 01:23:16,145
Jack, you know how it is.
My brother is the son of a governor...
1146
01:23:16,319 --> 01:23:19,083
...the grandson of a senator,
the great-grandson of a general.
1147
01:23:19,256 --> 01:23:24,319
She wasn't telling me anything
I didn't already know about Adam.
1148
01:23:25,162 --> 01:23:27,460
But she was doing it
walking next to me...
1149
01:23:27,631 --> 01:23:30,156
... which is all that mattered.
1150
01:23:31,201 --> 01:23:35,433
So I let her go on
as long as she wanted.
1151
01:23:37,507 --> 01:23:40,840
I knew that Adam
had already made his decision.
1152
01:23:41,011 --> 01:23:44,742
He had decided to take the job
when I first brought it up.
1153
01:23:45,449 --> 01:23:48,976
He was just putting some time
between my visit and now...
1154
01:23:49,152 --> 01:23:51,279
... out of pride.
1155
01:23:53,223 --> 01:23:55,748
He needs to do this
to be part of something himself...
1156
01:23:55,926 --> 01:23:57,223
...before he disappears.
1157
01:23:57,394 --> 01:24:01,023
But something about
what she was saying bothered me.
1158
01:24:01,331 --> 01:24:03,856
The way an off-stage noise
bothers you.
1159
01:24:04,034 --> 01:24:05,399
What kind of life is that?
1160
01:24:05,569 --> 01:24:07,196
Something you hear- -
1161
01:24:07,370 --> 01:24:08,598
He's a guardian of dead men.
1162
01:24:08,772 --> 01:24:10,831
- but not clear enough
to catch the meaning of.
1163
01:24:11,007 --> 01:24:14,534
I want him to take it.
He has to do it.
1164
01:24:14,711 --> 01:24:17,111
So you push it aside.
1165
01:24:24,187 --> 01:24:26,747
I guess that's one of your gunmen
I've heard about.
1166
01:24:26,923 --> 01:24:28,151
Sugar Boy, hell, no.
1167
01:24:28,325 --> 01:24:30,520
He just carry that peashooter
for decoration.
1168
01:24:30,694 --> 01:24:33,925
I tell you one thing, though.
Ain't nobody can drive like him.
1169
01:24:37,801 --> 01:24:40,065
So, what do you think, doc?
1170
01:24:41,238 --> 01:24:43,706
I think it'll do the people of the state
some good...
1171
01:24:43,874 --> 01:24:46,172
...and get you some votes.
1172
01:24:46,376 --> 01:24:48,503
There's a lot of ways to get votes.
Cheaper ones.
1173
01:24:49,980 --> 01:24:51,709
So I understand.
1174
01:24:51,882 --> 01:24:53,782
Because there are some things
I understand.
1175
01:24:53,950 --> 01:24:57,044
And some things you don't.
Just like there's some I don't.
1176
01:24:57,220 --> 01:24:59,347
What I do know
is what makes the mare go.
1177
01:24:59,523 --> 01:25:01,855
And that you can always
make goodness out of badness.
1178
01:25:02,025 --> 01:25:04,823
- That would be two things.
- Them's the two things I know, then.
1179
01:25:04,995 --> 01:25:06,223
And both of them wrong.
1180
01:25:06,396 --> 01:25:09,695
No, neither one of them, sir.
I beg your pardon.
1181
01:25:09,866 --> 01:25:12,733
You can always make good from bad,
in all things.
1182
01:25:13,103 --> 01:25:14,502
In politics, poetry...
1183
01:25:14,671 --> 01:25:17,435
...everything in between.
Makes no difference.
1184
01:25:17,908 --> 01:25:20,240
A man writes a sonnet...
1185
01:25:20,410 --> 01:25:22,275
...and it's good.
1186
01:25:22,445 --> 01:25:24,174
Is it less good if it turns out...
1187
01:25:24,347 --> 01:25:27,111
...the dame he wrote it about
is married to someone else?
1188
01:25:27,284 --> 01:25:30,048
That his passion was illicit?
1189
01:25:31,221 --> 01:25:33,451
Come on,
I wanna show you something.
1190
01:25:34,724 --> 01:25:37,989
I wouldn't mind
understanding something, actually.
1191
01:25:39,029 --> 01:25:43,329
Lf, as you say, there's only bad
to start with from conception on...
1192
01:25:43,500 --> 01:25:45,297
...and that good must be made
from bad...
1193
01:25:45,468 --> 01:25:47,459
...then how do you ever know
what the good is?
1194
01:25:48,205 --> 01:25:51,663
Well, that's simple.
You just make it up as you go along.
1195
01:25:51,841 --> 01:25:53,069
Make up what?
1196
01:25:53,243 --> 01:25:55,074
The good. What else
are we talking about?
1197
01:25:55,545 --> 01:25:57,274
Make it up as you go along?
1198
01:25:57,447 --> 01:25:59,915
Yeah. Just like folks have been doing
for a million years.
1199
01:26:00,083 --> 01:26:02,210
Since we fall out of trees,
crawl out the swamp.
1200
01:26:02,385 --> 01:26:03,943
They just cook up what is right.
1201
01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:06,680
If nobody likes that, well,
just cook it up again...
1202
01:26:06,856 --> 01:26:08,517
...a little different with a lid on.
1203
01:26:08,692 --> 01:26:09,920
And you know what?
1204
01:26:10,093 --> 01:26:12,653
Things under a lid
don't look no different than things...
1205
01:26:12,829 --> 01:26:14,660
...not under a lid
when there's one on it.
1206
01:26:14,831 --> 01:26:17,629
You don't have to convince me
of anything, Mr. Stark.
1207
01:26:17,801 --> 01:26:20,964
You've already done that.
I'm here, aren't I?
1208
01:26:21,404 --> 01:26:25,272
That's right.
And you're a good boy too, doc.
1209
01:26:25,442 --> 01:26:27,603
A lot better than you think.
1210
01:26:27,978 --> 01:26:30,105
So goddamn it.
1211
01:26:30,814 --> 01:26:34,841
Don't let none of them bastards
tell you no different.
1212
01:26:44,794 --> 01:26:47,854
I got a question since everybody's
trying to understand everything...
1213
01:26:48,031 --> 01:26:49,726
...all of a sudden.
1214
01:26:50,867 --> 01:26:52,095
Back when we met...
1215
01:26:52,936 --> 01:26:54,927
...at Slade's old place,
when we shook hands--
1216
01:26:55,105 --> 01:26:56,663
Do you remember that moment?
1217
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:58,364
Like it was yesterday.
1218
01:26:59,576 --> 01:27:02,170
Did you or did you not
give me a wink?
1219
01:27:02,612 --> 01:27:04,637
A wink?
1220
01:27:07,050 --> 01:27:10,816
Well, that's just gonna have to remain
a mystery.
1221
01:27:10,987 --> 01:27:13,547
- You don't remember.
- Sure I do.
1222
01:27:14,858 --> 01:27:16,723
Then...?
1223
01:27:22,232 --> 01:27:23,893
You know, I....
1224
01:27:24,067 --> 01:27:27,867
I just do recall giving you a wink.
1225
01:27:29,205 --> 01:27:32,003
But then,
maybe I got something in my eye...
1226
01:27:32,175 --> 01:27:34,700
...which would make it more
of a blink.
1227
01:27:36,413 --> 01:27:38,643
Did you have something
in your eye?
1228
01:27:39,983 --> 01:27:42,008
What if I didn't?
1229
01:27:42,619 --> 01:27:44,143
What would that mean?
1230
01:27:44,454 --> 01:27:46,081
That maybe you figured
you and me...
1231
01:27:46,256 --> 01:27:48,747
...had something in common
the others didn't.
1232
01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:55,161
Well, I'm not gonna tell you
and deprive you of the mystery.
1233
01:27:55,932 --> 01:28:00,426
There's just too few honest-to-God
mysteries left to go around.
1234
01:28:04,574 --> 01:28:07,566
And long after I'm dead and gone...
1235
01:28:08,345 --> 01:28:13,305
...and long after these sons of bitches
are dead and gone...
1236
01:28:13,483 --> 01:28:16,714
...I'm talking eternally now...
1237
01:28:18,288 --> 01:28:23,248
...the Willie Stark Hospital
will still be standing.
1238
01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:27,594
Where every man,
woman and child...
1239
01:28:27,764 --> 01:28:30,790
...who's sick or in pain can go in...
1240
01:28:30,967 --> 01:28:33,731
...knowing they'll get
all a man can do.
1241
01:28:33,903 --> 01:28:38,499
Not as charity,
but as a right, as your right!
1242
01:28:38,675 --> 01:28:42,873
As it is that every child
shall have a complete education!
1243
01:28:43,046 --> 01:28:48,382
That no person, aged or infirm,
shall want or beg for bread!
1244
01:28:48,551 --> 01:28:52,385
That no poor man's land
or house will be taxed!
1245
01:28:52,555 --> 01:28:55,752
That you shall not be deprived
of hope!
1246
01:29:02,198 --> 01:29:04,758
And if any man...
1247
01:29:05,602 --> 01:29:08,571
...stands between me...
1248
01:29:09,172 --> 01:29:11,606
...and fulfilling your rights...
1249
01:29:11,775 --> 01:29:14,869
...I will strike him down...
1250
01:29:15,044 --> 01:29:17,638
...so help me God!
1251
01:29:17,814 --> 01:29:22,183
Hip, shin, thigh and neck bone,
I will hit him.
1252
01:29:22,352 --> 01:29:24,820
I will hit him with a meat ax.
1253
01:29:24,988 --> 01:29:27,218
Somebody give me a meat ax...
1254
01:29:27,390 --> 01:29:30,848
...and bring me another one
for my friend and ally!
1255
01:29:31,428 --> 01:29:35,865
Because it's not only God's only son
with us on this one.
1256
01:29:36,032 --> 01:29:40,025
It's the son of the last
great leader of this state:
1257
01:29:40,203 --> 01:29:45,505
Governor Joe Stanton's boy,
Dr. Adam Stanton!
1258
01:30:02,459 --> 01:30:05,724
All right. See there?
1259
01:30:05,895 --> 01:30:09,296
It's not so bad.
It's not gonna kill you.
1260
01:30:29,752 --> 01:30:31,447
What's up?
1261
01:30:32,455 --> 01:30:33,820
Sadie.
1262
01:30:39,662 --> 01:30:41,653
Now he's done it.
1263
01:30:43,333 --> 01:30:46,131
He's done it again,
and I swear this time....
1264
01:30:46,302 --> 01:30:49,032
- Done?
- Don't act so dumb.
1265
01:30:49,205 --> 01:30:52,402
Or any dumber than you are.
He's two-timing me again.
1266
01:30:52,575 --> 01:30:55,066
Or four or one or whatever timing
you wanna call it...
1267
01:30:55,245 --> 01:30:57,372
...because you're such a smartass.
1268
01:30:57,547 --> 01:31:00,641
- She skate?
- Shut up.
1269
01:31:01,017 --> 01:31:04,350
You and your friends.
Your highbrow friends.
1270
01:31:04,521 --> 01:31:06,716
All the money and privilege
and everything else...
1271
01:31:06,890 --> 01:31:11,088
...you pretend means nothing.
To someone with it, it means nothing.
1272
01:31:13,062 --> 01:31:15,223
Don't look so dumb.
I said it annoys me.
1273
01:31:15,398 --> 01:31:17,866
I have no idea
what you're talking about...
1274
01:31:18,034 --> 01:31:21,128
...or what it was tangled you two up
in the first place, love or hate.
1275
01:31:21,304 --> 01:31:22,771
You know what I'm talking about.
1276
01:31:22,939 --> 01:31:25,134
Maybe you fixed it up.
I'm sure you did.
1277
01:31:25,308 --> 01:31:27,435
Surely he's fixed you up,
like that pathetic...
1278
01:31:27,610 --> 01:31:30,135
...crazy brother of hers,
to say thanks.
1279
01:31:30,313 --> 01:31:35,182
"Thanks, Jack.
She is a looker, I do declare.
1280
01:31:35,351 --> 01:31:37,842
I'm naming you SDP,
yes, sir.
1281
01:31:38,021 --> 01:31:40,717
State Director of Pimps."
1282
01:31:43,593 --> 01:31:45,117
What are you saying?
1283
01:31:48,831 --> 01:31:50,628
Are you saying...?
1284
01:32:01,144 --> 01:32:02,372
Thank you.
1285
01:32:05,481 --> 01:32:07,278
Are you s--?
1286
01:33:15,918 --> 01:33:18,386
I love you.
1287
01:33:36,406 --> 01:33:38,567
We're gonna walk some more.
1288
01:33:42,845 --> 01:33:44,608
All right.
1289
01:33:57,360 --> 01:33:59,055
Hello.
1290
01:33:59,228 --> 01:34:00,627
Hello, Mother.
1291
01:34:00,963 --> 01:34:03,898
Yes, Mother. Yes.
1292
01:34:08,538 --> 01:34:10,233
All right.
1293
01:34:10,673 --> 01:34:12,436
All right, Mother.
1294
01:34:12,608 --> 01:34:14,439
Goodbye.
1295
01:34:21,050 --> 01:34:23,416
She and the Peytons
and the bridge partner...
1296
01:34:23,586 --> 01:34:26,453
...are going to La Grange
for a nightcap.
1297
01:35:02,191 --> 01:35:05,524
- Jackie.
- What?
1298
01:35:07,430 --> 01:35:09,523
I came up here.
1299
01:35:27,717 --> 01:35:30,811
This was years ago,
you understand.
1300
01:35:32,088 --> 01:35:35,546
Back when things
weren't set in concrete.
1301
01:35:37,093 --> 01:35:40,688
Back when you had a way
of changing the course of things.
1302
01:35:41,264 --> 01:35:43,198
If you knew how.
1303
01:35:46,469 --> 01:35:48,596
She was perfect.
1304
01:35:49,739 --> 01:35:52,105
She had always been perfect.
1305
01:35:53,109 --> 01:35:55,600
I wanted to keep her that way...
1306
01:35:56,379 --> 01:35:58,677
... and like this.
1307
01:36:00,082 --> 01:36:03,074
To be young and older...
1308
01:36:03,753 --> 01:36:05,516
... somehow.
1309
01:36:10,493 --> 01:36:13,951
Of course that's not
what it looked like to her.
1310
01:36:17,366 --> 01:36:19,493
When I came home
from school at Christmas...
1311
01:36:19,669 --> 01:36:21,933
... we saw each other, of course.
1312
01:36:22,104 --> 01:36:25,437
We talked about things,
but never that.
1313
01:36:25,608 --> 01:36:28,441
We talked about love in general.
1314
01:36:28,611 --> 01:36:32,377
Like it was the subject of an essay
instead of real.
1315
01:36:33,649 --> 01:36:38,552
She said it was like jumping off
the high dive, love was.
1316
01:36:38,988 --> 01:36:41,923
Or like almost getting drowned.
1317
01:36:42,391 --> 01:36:44,222
Which, honestly,
I didn't understand.
1318
01:36:46,095 --> 01:36:48,188
For a long time.
1319
01:36:52,435 --> 01:36:55,666
You wanna know the reason
I stopped that night?
1320
01:36:56,339 --> 01:36:58,637
It wasn't nobility.
1321
01:36:58,808 --> 01:37:01,276
That's only what I told myself.
1322
01:37:01,677 --> 01:37:04,669
We have all the time
in the world, right?
1323
01:37:12,655 --> 01:37:15,419
It was that I knew something
was about to be taken from us...
1324
01:37:16,492 --> 01:37:20,861
... leaving in its place
something we didn't know.
1325
01:37:22,164 --> 01:37:24,724
Which didn't make her sad...
1326
01:37:25,701 --> 01:37:27,669
... but it did me.
1327
01:37:29,639 --> 01:37:34,042
You only get a couple of moments
that determine your life.
1328
01:37:35,211 --> 01:37:37,509
Sometimes only one.
1329
01:37:39,048 --> 01:37:40,913
And then it's gone.
1330
01:37:44,186 --> 01:37:45,915
Forever.
1331
01:37:48,891 --> 01:37:51,758
I talked to Senator Loden
this morning.
1332
01:37:51,928 --> 01:37:54,829
He said you find something nice
to put on his plate...
1333
01:37:54,997 --> 01:37:58,296
...he might come around.
Vote any way you like.
1334
01:37:58,467 --> 01:38:00,458
While you cut yourself a slice.
1335
01:38:01,237 --> 01:38:03,671
- I ain't saying that.
- I know what you're saying, Tiny.
1336
01:38:03,839 --> 01:38:06,034
You know, I'd rather bust a man
than buy him.
1337
01:38:06,776 --> 01:38:11,440
- Well, that's up to you now.
- Yeah, sure is. Now go on. Get.
1338
01:38:22,658 --> 01:38:26,116
Do you have
any information for me?
1339
01:38:28,831 --> 01:38:31,493
You sure there's not something
you neglected to mention?
1340
01:38:31,667 --> 01:38:33,532
Something you forgot?
1341
01:38:35,571 --> 01:38:37,129
Jack.
1342
01:38:39,141 --> 01:38:40,608
No.
1343
01:38:41,310 --> 01:38:42,800
Nothing.
1344
01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:46,313
Nothing. Well.
1345
01:38:47,350 --> 01:38:51,218
How about that, Sugar? Nothing.
Am I alone in this?
1346
01:38:51,387 --> 01:38:53,287
The bastards
are pounding at the gate...
1347
01:38:53,456 --> 01:38:56,050
...they're gonna put a vote
of impeachment on the calendar!
1348
01:38:56,225 --> 01:38:58,557
They take that vote today, I'm out!
1349
01:39:03,766 --> 01:39:06,633
I need Judge Irwin with me.
1350
01:39:07,837 --> 01:39:10,601
Or at least not against me.
1351
01:39:16,078 --> 01:39:18,672
So whatever it is...
1352
01:39:18,948 --> 01:39:21,041
...that you don't have on him...
1353
01:39:25,521 --> 01:39:27,250
...use it.
1354
01:39:30,726 --> 01:39:33,160
I'm sorry, what did you say?
1355
01:39:33,329 --> 01:39:36,162
I said I'm going over to the judge's.
1356
01:39:36,932 --> 01:39:40,868
Well, you mean later.
He'll be napping this time of day.
1357
01:39:41,037 --> 01:39:42,971
There isn't any time
he'll wanna hear...
1358
01:39:43,139 --> 01:39:44,436
...what I have to tell him.
1359
01:39:46,208 --> 01:39:48,802
He's not well, you know.
1360
01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:52,814
I can't help that.
1361
01:39:54,183 --> 01:39:56,913
I do wish
you wouldn't get mixed up in things.
1362
01:39:57,820 --> 01:40:00,550
It isn't me mixed up in them.
1363
01:40:01,424 --> 01:40:03,289
The judge is napping right now,
Mr. Burden.
1364
01:40:03,459 --> 01:40:06,019
I'll wait in his study
until he comes down.
1365
01:40:17,139 --> 01:40:19,733
Fire this marble.
1366
01:40:21,710 --> 01:40:24,144
Watch the chandelier.
1367
01:40:24,847 --> 01:40:26,314
Okay, you can fire.
1368
01:40:29,018 --> 01:40:32,613
Hello, Jack. I didn't know
you were at your mother's.
1369
01:40:32,788 --> 01:40:34,278
- You just get in?
- Last night.
1370
01:40:34,824 --> 01:40:39,056
Yeah. It's a bit early in the day,
but what do you think?
1371
01:40:39,228 --> 01:40:42,095
A touch of bourbon
never hurt anyone.
1372
01:40:42,264 --> 01:40:43,492
Least not you and me.
1373
01:40:43,732 --> 01:40:47,099
We're indestructible, aren't we,
you and me?
1374
01:40:47,269 --> 01:40:49,931
- No, thanks.
- "No, thanks," he says.
1375
01:40:50,339 --> 01:40:53,069
Begging the question,
as the old man pours just one drink...
1376
01:40:53,242 --> 01:40:54,971
...what's on your mind?
1377
01:40:56,612 --> 01:40:58,341
Out with it.
1378
01:40:58,914 --> 01:41:00,745
You know who I work for.
1379
01:41:00,916 --> 01:41:02,281
How could I forget?
1380
01:41:02,718 --> 01:41:05,744
But let's just sit
and pretend that I have.
1381
01:41:05,988 --> 01:41:07,353
Come sit over here with me.
1382
01:41:19,535 --> 01:41:22,003
The truth is I don't hold
the same low opinion of him...
1383
01:41:22,171 --> 01:41:23,763
...as many of our friends
on the Row.
1384
01:41:23,939 --> 01:41:25,463
I was almost for him at one time.
1385
01:41:25,641 --> 01:41:30,601
He was busting out windowpanes
and, yeah, letting in some fresh air.
1386
01:41:30,779 --> 01:41:34,909
But now I am worried about him
knocking down the whole house.
1387
01:41:35,084 --> 01:41:37,917
So you threw in with his enemies
after you said you wouldn't.
1388
01:41:38,087 --> 01:41:39,611
Oh, Jack.
1389
01:41:39,822 --> 01:41:41,847
What is politics
but a matter of choices?
1390
01:41:42,024 --> 01:41:44,788
You make a choice knowing there's
a chance it's the wrong one.
1391
01:41:44,960 --> 01:41:48,088
You've made a choice
and you know how much it's cost you.
1392
01:41:48,264 --> 01:41:50,562
There's always a price
for everything we do.
1393
01:41:51,967 --> 01:41:54,731
When we came by that night
and were leaving...
1394
01:41:54,904 --> 01:41:56,496
...you said you would think
about it.
1395
01:41:56,672 --> 01:41:59,607
About calling off the dogs?
No, I did not say that.
1396
01:41:59,775 --> 01:42:02,608
Your memory is faulty, sir.
He said, "Think about it"...
1397
01:42:02,778 --> 01:42:04,006
...which I don't have to.
1398
01:42:04,180 --> 01:42:06,444
I don't have to think
about things I already know.
1399
01:42:06,615 --> 01:42:09,209
You should think it over.
Even now...
1400
01:42:09,385 --> 01:42:12,183
...because it's not too late.
1401
01:42:16,058 --> 01:42:17,923
Too late for what?
1402
01:42:21,964 --> 01:42:23,556
Hey, Jack.
1403
01:42:24,366 --> 01:42:25,924
Jesus.
1404
01:42:26,635 --> 01:42:29,103
- What is it?
- Just say you'll back Stark...
1405
01:42:29,271 --> 01:42:31,034
...against these attacks.
- No!
1406
01:42:36,445 --> 01:42:39,278
Now, that has the sound of finality,
don't it?
1407
01:42:39,448 --> 01:42:42,144
- Yes, it does.
- Yeah.
1408
01:43:12,548 --> 01:43:15,483
You know,
I find this difficult to believe.
1409
01:43:15,651 --> 01:43:17,516
For me too.
1410
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:21,612
And that your boss would even think
he could pressure me.
1411
01:43:21,790 --> 01:43:23,280
Could blackmail me.
1412
01:43:23,525 --> 01:43:28,553
- The first word is better.
- The first word is prettier, not better.
1413
01:43:29,598 --> 01:43:34,194
Don't you know that this stuff
wouldn't stand up? Not in any court.
1414
01:43:34,370 --> 01:43:36,668
It happened almost 25 years ago.
1415
01:43:36,839 --> 01:43:38,329
You couldn't get any testimony...
1416
01:43:39,041 --> 01:43:41,601
...except from that woman
who is related...
1417
01:43:41,777 --> 01:43:45,474
...and whose testimony,
if she gave it...
1418
01:43:45,748 --> 01:43:47,773
...would be worthless.
1419
01:43:48,851 --> 01:43:51,547
And everybody else, Jack...
1420
01:43:53,122 --> 01:43:55,420
...everybody else is dead.
1421
01:43:56,625 --> 01:43:58,320
You're not.
1422
01:43:58,894 --> 01:44:01,863
You're not dead.
And you don't live in any court.
1423
01:44:02,031 --> 01:44:05,228
You live in the world, where people
think you're a certain kind of man.
1424
01:44:05,401 --> 01:44:07,392
I am a certain kind of man.
1425
01:44:18,013 --> 01:44:21,312
You know, when I was a kid
it seemed natural...
1426
01:44:21,483 --> 01:44:24,247
...that a grown man
would stay up nights with catgut...
1427
01:44:24,420 --> 01:44:28,220
...and steel wire, pliers and scissors,
and make little catapults.
1428
01:44:28,390 --> 01:44:30,517
Read books about them.
1429
01:44:36,498 --> 01:44:37,897
Will you change your mind?
1430
01:44:42,371 --> 01:44:44,931
You know, I could hurt you, Jack.
1431
01:44:45,140 --> 01:44:47,404
Like you're trying to hurt me.
1432
01:44:47,943 --> 01:44:50,173
I could say something.
1433
01:44:50,779 --> 01:44:52,940
I could tell you something...
1434
01:44:53,115 --> 01:44:55,049
...that would hurt.
1435
01:45:01,557 --> 01:45:03,081
But I won't.
1436
01:45:06,862 --> 01:45:08,989
Think it over. I'll be by tomorrow.
1437
01:45:09,164 --> 01:45:11,689
My mind's made up now.
1438
01:45:13,869 --> 01:45:16,064
I'll come back tomorrow.
1439
01:45:20,476 --> 01:45:22,501
Made up now.
1440
01:45:59,214 --> 01:46:02,411
Mother. Mother.
1441
01:46:03,452 --> 01:46:07,252
- Mother. Mama.
- You! You! You did it!
1442
01:46:07,423 --> 01:46:09,118
- What?
- You killed him!
1443
01:46:09,291 --> 01:46:10,656
- Who?
- You killed him.
1444
01:46:10,826 --> 01:46:12,487
- Mother, who?
- You killed him.
1445
01:46:12,661 --> 01:46:14,185
- Who?
- You killed him!
1446
01:46:14,363 --> 01:46:16,228
- Who, M--?
- You killed him! You killed him!
1447
01:46:16,398 --> 01:46:17,626
- Who, Mother?
- Your father!
1448
01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:19,131
You killed your father!
1449
01:47:07,216 --> 01:47:09,980
"I am the resurrection and the life,"
saith the Lord.
1450
01:47:10,152 --> 01:47:12,780
"He that believeth in me,
though he were dead...
1451
01:47:12,955 --> 01:47:14,980
...yet shall he live.
1452
01:47:15,157 --> 01:47:18,217
Whosoever liveth and
believeth in me shall never die."
1453
01:47:18,393 --> 01:47:19,860
I know that my redeemer liveth...
1454
01:47:20,028 --> 01:47:22,428
...and that he shall stand
at the latter day upon the earth.
1455
01:47:23,699 --> 01:47:27,294
And though this body be destroyed,
yet shall I see God...
1456
01:47:27,469 --> 01:47:28,936
...and I shall see for myself...
1457
01:47:29,771 --> 01:47:32,865
...and mine eyes shall behold,
and not as a stranger.
1458
01:47:33,041 --> 01:47:35,305
We brought nothing
into this world...
1459
01:47:35,477 --> 01:47:38,503
...and it is certain
we can carry nothing out.
1460
01:48:11,413 --> 01:48:16,510
- The city of God, the holy place
of the tabernacle of the Most Highest.
1461
01:48:17,986 --> 01:48:20,045
God is in the midst of her.
1462
01:48:20,222 --> 01:48:22,952
Therefore,
shall she not be removed.
1463
01:48:30,699 --> 01:48:32,394
- In every good work to do his will...
1464
01:48:33,969 --> 01:48:35,664
...working in you that which
is well pleasing in his sight...
1465
01:48:35,837 --> 01:48:40,934
...through Jesus Christ to whom
be glory forever and ever. Amen.
1466
01:49:03,198 --> 01:49:05,666
I told you to scare him,
not scare him to death.
1467
01:49:05,834 --> 01:49:09,167
- He wasn't scared.
- Then why did he do it?
1468
01:49:09,771 --> 01:49:12,365
- Jack?
- I don't wanna discuss it.
1469
01:49:12,641 --> 01:49:13,903
Well, let me just say this.
1470
01:49:14,076 --> 01:49:16,510
I know that he was some kind of
friend of the family...
1471
01:49:16,678 --> 01:49:19,977
...growing up, all that, so I'm sorry
the old bastard shot himself...
1472
01:49:20,148 --> 01:49:22,616
...but we still got MacMurphy
and his boys to deal with.
1473
01:49:22,784 --> 01:49:24,877
And that didn't work out
the way we hoped.
1474
01:49:25,053 --> 01:49:27,521
You need to get someone else
for all of it. I'm through.
1475
01:49:27,689 --> 01:49:29,953
Through with it or with me?
1476
01:49:30,292 --> 01:49:32,157
I don't wanna discuss it.
1477
01:49:38,967 --> 01:49:42,869
After any great trauma or crisis...
1478
01:49:43,405 --> 01:49:46,306
... after the shock subsides
and the nerves stop twitching...
1479
01:49:47,476 --> 01:49:49,944
... you settle down
to the new condition of things...
1480
01:49:50,112 --> 01:49:53,240
... because you know that all possibility
of any more change...
1481
01:49:53,415 --> 01:49:55,178
... has been used up.
1482
01:49:55,350 --> 01:49:57,648
You've seen the pattern finally...
1483
01:49:57,819 --> 01:50:01,880
... because you've stepped back far
enough to take in the whole picture.
1484
01:50:03,692 --> 01:50:08,129
But it's too late now to do anything
but accommodate yourself to it.
1485
01:50:08,797 --> 01:50:10,731
And that's it.
1486
01:50:11,199 --> 01:50:14,600
There's nothing left to do or say...
1487
01:50:14,936 --> 01:50:18,531
... except that God and nothing
have a lot in common.
1488
01:50:19,775 --> 01:50:21,402
The end.
1489
01:50:23,545 --> 01:50:26,537
What you don't know
is that you're wrong.
1490
01:50:30,819 --> 01:50:32,844
Oh, God, Jack.
1491
01:50:38,193 --> 01:50:40,024
You've gotta help me.
1492
01:50:40,195 --> 01:50:42,993
He's crazy. He came to see me,
said the most terrible things...
1493
01:50:43,165 --> 01:50:46,464
...and then he walked out.
- Who? Willie?
1494
01:50:46,635 --> 01:50:48,660
No, Adam.
1495
01:50:48,904 --> 01:50:51,270
He said it was my fault.
1496
01:50:51,440 --> 01:50:54,204
- Everything was my fault.
- Well...
1497
01:50:54,376 --> 01:50:56,173
Someone called him...
1498
01:50:56,344 --> 01:50:58,369
...and told him...
1499
01:50:59,614 --> 01:51:01,548
...about me.
1500
01:51:02,050 --> 01:51:03,950
About you?
1501
01:51:05,554 --> 01:51:07,681
About you and the governor.
You can say it, Anne.
1502
01:51:07,856 --> 01:51:10,450
It doesn't hurt any more to hear it
than to know it.
1503
01:51:11,259 --> 01:51:12,749
He told him what I'd done...
1504
01:51:12,928 --> 01:51:15,590
...and he said that I'd do anything
to help the governor...
1505
01:51:15,764 --> 01:51:17,698
...get what he wanted.
Even if that meant...
1506
01:51:17,866 --> 01:51:20,562
...sacrificing my brother
to some kind of fraud.
1507
01:51:22,337 --> 01:51:24,567
Which is all the hospital was.
1508
01:51:24,740 --> 01:51:27,641
Nothing but a scheme to rob the state.
1509
01:51:27,809 --> 01:51:29,640
And that when the truth came out...
1510
01:51:29,811 --> 01:51:32,974
...and it would,
Adam would take the blame.
1511
01:51:33,148 --> 01:51:37,881
He'd go to prison. For every scheme
needs a fall guy and he's it.
1512
01:51:38,053 --> 01:51:41,682
- Whoever said that is lying.
- I know.
1513
01:51:41,857 --> 01:51:45,725
I tried to tell him that's not the way
it was. That he was wrong.
1514
01:51:45,894 --> 01:51:47,122
But he wouldn't listen.
1515
01:51:47,295 --> 01:51:50,753
He grabbed me and said
that he would not be made a fool.
1516
01:51:51,133 --> 01:51:53,499
That everything else
could be filthy and corrupt...
1517
01:51:53,668 --> 01:51:56,364
...but that a man didn't have to be.
1518
01:51:58,006 --> 01:52:00,406
And then he said that...
1519
01:52:01,843 --> 01:52:05,540
...he wouldn't be a paid pimp
to his sister's whore.
1520
01:52:12,621 --> 01:52:14,782
He said that to me.
1521
01:52:17,492 --> 01:52:19,289
Well, neither will I.
1522
01:52:27,035 --> 01:52:28,366
Why did you do it?
1523
01:52:29,037 --> 01:52:32,473
- You knew what it would do to me.
- It had nothing to do with you.
1524
01:52:32,641 --> 01:52:34,006
- Then what?
- I don't know!
1525
01:52:34,176 --> 01:52:36,770
- Well, you better think of something!
- I wasn't thinking--!
1526
01:52:36,945 --> 01:52:38,310
Yes, you were! Yes, you were.
1527
01:52:38,480 --> 01:52:40,607
Was it because of me
or in spite of me?
1528
01:52:40,782 --> 01:52:42,477
I'd never hurt you like that.
1529
01:52:42,918 --> 01:52:45,682
You would and you have.
1530
01:52:55,463 --> 01:52:58,523
Oh, God, Jack.
You have to help me.
1531
01:53:00,535 --> 01:53:03,231
I'm afraid Adam's gonna
do something to himself.
1532
01:53:33,235 --> 01:53:34,463
Adam?
1533
01:53:50,619 --> 01:53:52,833
Dear God, you are the unseen Lord
of this chamber...
1534
01:53:52,868 --> 01:53:55,048
Dear God, you are the unseen Lord
of this chamber...
1535
01:53:55,857 --> 01:53:57,256
...the silent listener...
1536
01:53:57,425 --> 01:53:59,620
...the judge of our deliberations.
1537
01:54:00,495 --> 01:54:02,861
Bless the senators you sit among.
1538
01:54:03,031 --> 01:54:05,932
We place our trust
in your guidance.
1539
01:54:06,101 --> 01:54:07,568
You are our Lord and Savior.
1540
01:54:08,103 --> 01:54:10,071
- Amen.
- Amen.
1541
01:54:11,673 --> 01:54:14,335
All persons are commanded
to keep silent...
1542
01:54:14,509 --> 01:54:16,636
- ... on pain of imprisonment...
- Adam!
1543
01:54:16,811 --> 01:54:19,746
...while the Senate
of the state of Louisiana...
1544
01:54:19,915 --> 01:54:24,852
... sits for the trial
of the articles of impeachment...
1545
01:54:25,020 --> 01:54:30,856
... against the honorable William
Stark, governor of state of Louisiana.
1546
01:54:31,559 --> 01:54:34,323
I'll go up and make some calls.
1547
01:54:39,768 --> 01:54:40,996
Anne...
1548
01:54:47,075 --> 01:54:49,566
...I'm sure it's gonna be fine.
1549
01:55:04,826 --> 01:55:07,294
- Mr. Gidr�.
- Nay.
1550
01:55:07,495 --> 01:55:10,521
- Mr. Honor�.
- Yea.
1551
01:55:10,699 --> 01:55:12,860
- Mr. Hobbes.
- Nay.
1552
01:55:13,935 --> 01:55:17,336
- Mr. Landmark.
- Nay.
1553
01:55:17,505 --> 01:55:20,804
- Mr. Latch�.
- Yea.
1554
01:55:20,976 --> 01:55:24,468
- Mr. Mouton.
- Nay.
1555
01:55:24,879 --> 01:55:26,710
- Mr. Pelerant.
- Nay.
1556
01:55:28,883 --> 01:55:32,046
- Mr. Rivette.
- Yea.
1557
01:55:32,220 --> 01:55:36,213
- Mr. Rousseau.
- Nay.
1558
01:55:36,391 --> 01:55:39,155
- Mr. Savoir.
- Nay.
1559
01:55:39,761 --> 01:55:42,889
- Mr. Tesh.
- Nay.
1560
01:55:46,668 --> 01:55:50,832
Seventeen yeas, 22 nays.
1561
01:55:51,006 --> 01:55:55,375
The impeachment
of Governor Willie Stark fails.
1562
01:55:55,543 --> 01:55:59,172
There is a line between
what is acceptable and what is not.
1563
01:55:59,347 --> 01:56:02,714
Now, the governor has stepped over
that line to guide this vote...
1564
01:56:02,884 --> 01:56:05,045
...using means
that are inappropriate.
1565
01:56:05,220 --> 01:56:08,348
Now, I'll call that undue influence.
1566
01:56:08,523 --> 01:56:11,651
I'll go further, I'll call it coercion.
1567
01:56:11,826 --> 01:56:13,885
Mr. MacMurphy!
1568
01:56:17,265 --> 01:56:20,428
You say every word
but the one you mean, sir!
1569
01:56:21,202 --> 01:56:24,831
Go ahead, say it out loud.
We're all friends here.
1570
01:56:25,407 --> 01:56:30,572
But I blackmailed nobody,
to be factual!
1571
01:56:30,745 --> 01:56:32,645
I merely gave you
the opportunity to act...
1572
01:56:32,814 --> 01:56:34,805
...in accordance
with your own nature...
1573
01:56:34,983 --> 01:56:40,319
...and like all good men,
rise above principle.
1574
01:56:45,560 --> 01:56:47,152
Jack!
1575
01:57:14,222 --> 01:57:17,555
We did it! We did it, boy!
We stopped that clock!
1576
01:57:17,725 --> 01:57:19,352
Ain't gonna be
no impeachment today!
1577
01:57:27,435 --> 01:57:30,370
Someone called him, Adam.
1578
01:57:30,538 --> 01:57:33,632
And said that I'd do anything to
help the governor get what he wanted.
1579
01:57:33,808 --> 01:57:37,835
Even if that meant sacrificing
my brother to some kind of fraud.
1580
01:57:38,513 --> 01:57:40,572
Which is all the hospital was.
1581
01:57:40,748 --> 01:57:43,216
Nothing but a scheme
to rob the state.
1582
01:57:43,384 --> 01:57:45,318
Adam would take the blame.
1583
01:57:45,487 --> 01:57:50,015
He'd go to prison. For every scheme
needs a fall guy and he's it.
1584
01:57:53,228 --> 01:57:54,991
That's not true.
1585
01:57:56,598 --> 01:57:58,498
Whoever said that is lying.
1586
01:58:06,608 --> 01:58:09,634
Hey, doc. Where you been?
You been out there swimming?
1587
02:00:43,498 --> 02:00:47,059
So listen to me. Listen here...
1588
02:00:47,235 --> 02:00:48,759
... and lift your eyes...
1589
02:00:48,936 --> 02:00:53,236
... and look on the God's blessed
and unflyblown truth:
1590
02:00:53,408 --> 02:00:58,573
You are a hick and ain't nobody
never helped a hick but a hick hisself.
1591
02:00:58,746 --> 02:01:03,740
It's up to you
to nail these parasites up.
1592
02:01:04,252 --> 02:01:08,450
Up to you and me and God.
1593
02:01:08,623 --> 02:01:11,649
- Nail up Joe Harrison!
- Nail him up!
1594
02:01:11,826 --> 02:01:14,386
- Nail up MacMurphy!
- Nail him up!
1595
02:01:14,562 --> 02:01:17,827
And nail up any bastard
that gets between you...
1596
02:01:17,999 --> 02:01:20,331
...and the roads and the bridges
and the schools...
1597
02:01:20,501 --> 02:01:24,835
...and the food you need.
You give me the hammer and I'll do it.
