00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,160
<i>You got a cloudy Monday ahead today
here in the nation's capital.</i>

2
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,848
<i>Chance of rain showers and a likely
chance of some drizzle that continues...</i>

3
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:08,320
<i>With President Nixon
facing an uncertain re-election,</i>

4
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,080
<i>candidates for the Democratic Party
are accusing him</i>

5
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,323
<i>of failing to end
American involvement in Vietnam.</i>

6
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,487
<i>Members of the Committee
to re-elect the President</i>

7
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,920
<i>were in Jacksonville today
on their campaign trip through Florida.</i>

8
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
<i>And for a report on that,
here's Georgia Wilson.</i>

9
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,129
<i>Wife of the Attorney General,
Mrs. Richard Kleindienst.</i>

10
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:32,529
<i>This is the final weekend
of our month-long extravaganza sale.</i>

11
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:35,240
<i>All sizes all on sale!</i>

12
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:37,840
<i>In Washington,
yet another public demonstration</i>

13
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,685
<i>by some citizens opposed to the Vietnam War.</i>

14
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,849
<i>Reporter Alan Witten.</i>

15
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,850
<i>It was festive
as the crowd turned to Capitol Hill.</i>

16
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,120
<i>In an hour's time,
several thousand people had joined hands</i>

17
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,490
<i>to form a complete circle of war protest
around the US Capitol.</i>

18
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,320
<i>Clean and Shine to the rescue!
Cleans up stains,</i>

19
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,440
<i>only the shine remains. No rubbing.
No trimming, no foul smells.</i>

20
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,600
<i>A sharp recession
has shaken economic confidence.</i>

21
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,880
<i>As a result, a large field of
Democratic challengers has emerged</i>

22
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,800
<i>and would beat Nixon
if the elections were held today.</i>

23
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,160
- <i>Five different flavors!</i>
- <i>Five different meals!</i>

24
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,322
<i>One happy family!</i>

25
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,241
<i>One, two, three, four!
We don't want your fucking war!</i>

26
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,201
<i>One, two, three, four!
We don't want your fucking war!</i>

27
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,965
<i>Mark Felt.</i>

28
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,605
Gentlemen. Mr. Dean.

29
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,928
Goddamn Russian revolution out there.

30
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,490
Why aren't we arresting anybody?

31
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,121
Because that isn't a crime.

32
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,560
Right now the president needs your advice.

33
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,520
Yeah, Hoover's run the FBI, what, 40 years?

34
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,280
- Fifty.
- Fifty goddamn years.

35
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,603
You know, Johnson and Kennedy
wanted to fire him, don't you?

36
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,160
But they didn't have the balls.

37
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,366
If the president were to ask
Mr. Hoover to step aside,

38
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,924
how would you suggest he do it?

39
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,400
We know you to be a friend
of this administration.

40
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,722
We like to see our friends
get what they deserve.

41
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,523
- You're next in line.
- There is no line, Mr. Mitchell.

42
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,563
The president is asking.

43
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,722
Mr. Hoover would want to keep
his bullet-proof car.

44
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,766
You're a real politician, Felt.

45
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,402
Then thanks for popping by.

46
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,881
If I may.

47
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,125
There is one thing Mr. Hoover knows
that's been on all your minds.

48
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,920
Whenever the FBI hears
a piece of gossip or information,

49
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,166
such as "I saw so-and-so out
with another woman, not his wife,"

50
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,969
or a man, not his wife,

51
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,160
we're supposed
to write everything down, and we do.

52
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,129
We write it all down in memos.

53
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,084
These memos come to me,

54
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,761
and I decide what information
Mr. Hoover needs to know,

55
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,202
and send that up to Mr. Hoover.

56
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,048
And Mr. Hoover puts it all away
in his private files,

57
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,969
to be kept safe,

58
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,160
out of the hands of people
without discretion,

59
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,882
people who could do harm should that
information be leaked, for instance,

60
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,368
and put before the court of public opinion.

61
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,920
And then sometimes Mr. Hoover
will go, for instance,

62
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,846
to the president's closest aides and say,

63
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,640
Mr. Ehrlichman or Mr. Mitchell,

64
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,240
"I want you to know
that we received that report

65
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,920
"about you and that other woman,

66
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,971
"and I want to tell you
that there is absolutely no reason

67
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,880
"for us to take any further action.

68
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,361
"There is no violation.

69
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,440
"You're safe.

70
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,170
"We, the FBI...

71
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,927
"All your secrets are safe with us."

72
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,568
How long have you been in the FBI, Felt?

73
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,522
Thirty years.

74
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,849
That's a lot of information, a lot of files.

75
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:01,921
Thank you, Mr. Felt.

76
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,891
Thank you, gentlemen. Mr. Dean.

77
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,723
Choke on your Manhattan.

78
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,968
Have a little something.

79
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,560
- Hello, darling.
- Hey, sweetie.

80
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,964
I give you the chief dragon slayer
and guardian of the American dream.

81
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,769
Come on, Mark. Crack a smile, at least!

82
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,080
Eddie, let me go.

83
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,561
Eddie, leave her alone.
She's the best. Come here, you.

84
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,040
- Did you hear that?
- I need a drink.

85
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,167
- I am the best.
- I heard that.

86
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,607
- Hi, hon.
- Hi, sweetie.

87
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,000
- Look what I've done.
- Look what you're doing.

88
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,127
What were you doing?

89
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,406
Yes, sir.

90
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,563
Keep the hips down.

91
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,080
Look at your feet.

92
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,402
Come on, attitude.

93
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,568
Eddie, they're elegant!

94
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,002
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

95
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,443
- Is the director in?
- Not yet.

96
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,203
Here's that Weather Underground file.

97
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:51,480
- How many bombings now?
- Couple dozen.

98
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:53,480
Precise numbers, Mr. Miller.

99
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:54,760
Twenty-nine.

100
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,570
Nails and ball bearings.

101
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:58,887
These kids aren't messing around.

102
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,129
They're embarrassing the FBI.

103
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,890
Get the New York office.

104
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:09,281
He's dead.

105
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,081
Who?

106
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,611
Mr. Hoover's dead.

107
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,922
His housekeeper found him on the floor.

108
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,840
He wasn't breathing.

109
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,968
It looks like a stroke.

110
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,129
Put everything into motion.

111
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,244
No mistakes, gentlemen. Not one.

112
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:20,720
Good morning, Felt.

113
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,720
The assistant Attorney General.

114
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,006
Pat Gray.

115
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,160
Complicated morning for all of us.

116
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,840
Indeed. Mr. Miller, here, will be
handling the funeral arrangements.

117
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,600
I have the Attorney General's
instructions on seating and protocol.

118
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:34,160
The funeral will be handled by the FBI.

119
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,640
The Attorney General
will sit beside the vice president.

120
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,769
Handled by the FBI in its own way, Mr. Gray.

121
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,164
I also have instructions
on Mr. Hoover's files.

122
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,329
I am to take possession of them
and bring them to the White House.

123
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,483
What files?

124
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,881
Mr. Hoover's secret files.
The Personal and Confidentials.

125
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,360
Official and Confidentials.

126
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,443
There are no secret files.

127
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,531
<i>We thank thee this day
with arms open for J. Edgar Hoover,</i>

128
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,565
for his lifelong trust in thee,

129
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,326
his steadfast devotion to the nation,

130
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,887
his elevated patriotism,

131
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,881
his commitment to justice
and peace in the nation.

132
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:10,160
We ask that we may be as strong,

133
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,411
- brave as he was brave...
- Excuse me.

134
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,280
- Loyal as he was loyal...
- Pardon me.

135
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,442
Serve as he served,

136
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,566
love the nation as he loved it.

137
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,160
Felt!

138
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,524
Jesus. Bill Sullivan.

139
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,689
I'd like a word with you.

140
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:55,720
Bill Sullivan and Mark Felt, together again.

141
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:56,960
Who would have thought it?

142
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,000
I think I was the one
who recommended you to the old man

143
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,160
for your first big promotion.

144
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,210
- You know you were.
- That's right. Mark Felt never forgets.

145
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,165
That's why everyone likes you.

146
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,240
Hell, I even like you.

147
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,765
And I don't like anybody.

148
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,371
What do you want?

149
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,242
I had 30 years in the bureau.

150
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,400
Same as you.

151
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,480
- You were the director's bag man.
- Yeah?

152
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,040
You taped Martin Luther King with other women

153
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,362
and sent the pictures to his wife.

154
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,923
Do you need me to actually say it?

155
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,089
Those days were gone. You had to go.

156
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,567
You could be you, Mark,
only because I was who I was.

157
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,760
You and I were an ecosystem.

158
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,047
That's how nature works.

159
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,163
Keeps everything in a balance.

160
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,924
Now, the king is dead.

161
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,130
Long live the king.

162
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,445
- Are you the new king?
- You tell me.

163
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,451
You're the president's new best friend.

164
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:04,651
Mark Felt.

165
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,128
Integrity, bravery, fidelity.

166
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,004
Ladies and gentlemen, the G-man's G-man.

167
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,363
You want to know what everybody
really thinks of you? Do you?

168
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,120
Competent, reliable, loyal.

169
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,282
- What's wrong with that?
- Nothing.

170
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,408
If you're a golden retriever.

171
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:26,961
Hoover's gone.

172
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,171
You're alone now,

173
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,808
holding the end of your own leash.

174
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,204
<i>Attorney general, line one.</i>

175
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:09,647
Dick.

176
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,040
Yes.

177
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,240
Well, I have enjoyed every day of it.

178
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:22,087
The FBI has been home to me
and my family for 30 years and...

179
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,287
Yes.

180
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,770
"A new day."

181
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,045
Yes, a fresh start.

182
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,766
It's what I would do.

183
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,203
Who do you have in mind?

184
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,164
I'm sorry. Could you repeat that? Who?

185
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,249
- Welcome to the FBI.
- A friendly face.

186
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:01,640
Gentlemen.

187
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,720
Now, Mr. Gray.

188
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,849
I know the bureau
has its closets and skeletons.

189
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,526
You can count on me to keep those doors shut.

190
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,600
I'll be candid with you.

191
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,762
I was a submarine commander in the navy.

192
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,521
I was father, confessor and friend
to 18-year-olds.

193
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,210
Did you know that?

194
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,080
I'm not a suspicious man by nature.

195
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,920
That probably makes me
a strange choice to run the FBI.

196
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,970
In fact, when the president called my wife

197
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,048
she begged me to turn him down, but...

198
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,924
But the president wasn't asking,
if you know what I mean.

199
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,245
Now, let me be candid with you, Mr. Gray.

200
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,280
The FBI is the most respected
institution in the world.

201
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:47,360
It is one of the two cockpits
that fly America,

202
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,242
and it is what it is because no one
from the outside ever got inside.

203
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,080
Mr. Hoover has been old, a long time.

204
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,080
We all know it's been you running
the FBI, Felt.

205
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,606
- Your reputation is stellar.
- Let me finish.

206
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,405
You have no law enforcement experience.
You're an outsider.

207
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,160
That is your battle to fight,
but I'm going to help you.

208
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,004
- Well, I appreciate that.
- Don't.

209
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,527
It's not an act of generosity.

210
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,720
This is about this building
and what goes on in here

211
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,689
and what it means to the country.

212
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,570
That is all I care about.

213
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,483
As long as you keep the FBI first,

214
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,643
you'll be able to count on me.

215
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,851
This is your office.

216
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,523
I thought the job was yours.

217
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,530
What did I miss?

218
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,208
You and Mr. Hoover.

219
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,610
Don't you remember
why he said he liked you so much?

220
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,409
He always said
you and he had the same enemies.

221
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,604
That's why.

222
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,091
Thirty years.

223
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,444
Thirteen transfers.

224
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,084
Thirteen homes to leave.

225
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,286
Thirteen homes to make.

226
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,565
I left behind every friend I ever made.

227
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,840
And I kept my mouth shut,

228
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,241
like the perfect little FBI wife.

229
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,840
Until one day you wake up

230
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,600
and you're so different than you used to be

231
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,082
you can't even remember
what the point was in the first place.

232
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,925
Till there's just one thing left in my head.

233
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:27,047
The one idea left in my head is,
at least Mark's going to get that job.

234
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,891
- And that will make up for everything.
- Audrey.

235
00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:33,248
They don't deserve you.

236
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,401
They don't deserve us.

237
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,650
You need to resign.

238
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,406
When the bureau is in better hands,

239
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,450
then, I'll go.

240
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:34,647
- What is it?
- <i>This is getting complicated.</i>

241
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,609
<i>You better get down here.</i>

242
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,920
<i>Five men wearing white gloves
and carrying cameras</i>

243
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,800
<i>were caught early today in the headquarters</i>

244
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,680
<i>of the Democratic National Committee,
in Washington.</i>

245
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,000
<i>They apparently were unarmed</i>

246
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,323
<i>and nobody knows yet
why they were even there.</i>

247
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,931
Mr. Kunkel.

248
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,969
Straight into the Democrat offices
in the Watergate.

249
00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:16,000
Who's our spy?

250
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,764
Baldwin, Alfred C.

251
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,920
Checked in six weeks ago.

252
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,920
Says he was more than just the lookout.

253
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,048
He says he was supposed
to listen for "girlie stuff."

254
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,600
Guess the Dems are having
a lot of trouble with their wives.

255
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,360
He say where he got his instructions?

256
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,443
Baldwin is one of ours.

257
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,123
Ex-FBI.

258
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,405
He worked under Bill Sullivan.

259
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,960
When he was in the bureau,
was he in Mr. Sullivan's group?

260
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,240
We think so.

261
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,240
What about CIA connections?

262
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,651
No idea. Why?

263
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,480
Because 30 minutes ago
four of those burglars told a judge

264
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,563
they are ex-CIA.

265
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,123
What the hell is this?

266
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,880
<i>One of the most fascinating
and exotic stories</i>

267
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,800
<i>ever to come out of Washington, DC,</i>

268
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,960
<i>is the talk of the capital today.</i>

269
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,088
<i>Robert Endicott covered the story.</i>

270
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,720
<i>Democratic officials today
held a series of meetings</i>

271
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,400
<i>to talk about tighter security</i>

272
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:08,960
<i>at the national headquarters
here in Washington.</i>

273
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,200
<i>The White House has so far
offered no official comment,</i>

274
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,880
<i>but a close adviser to the president,
seen here visiting China last month,</i>

275
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,400
<i>has said the president
is most concerned about the break-in</i>

276
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,600
<i>and will be keeping
a very close eye on the investigation.</i>

277
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,444
<i>Now, turning to other news...</i>

278
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,730
Mr. Lano is running street on this.

279
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,440
2:15, Sunday morning,

280
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,002
Metro finds our perps inside the
Democratic National Committee office.

281
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,440
We ID'd the lead. He's a pro.

282
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,922
Five years in the FBI, 19 in the CIA.

283
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,128
Then he left the CIA to run security
for the Attorney General.

284
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,000
Then he ran security for the White House

285
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,880
for the Committee to Re-elect the President.

286
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,600
The lead burglar ran security for the
Committee to Re-elect the President?

287
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,680
- Is that what you said?
- That's what he said. Keep going.

288
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,000
Yeah, it gets weirder.

289
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:57,600
The lookout in here, three years FBI.

290
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,287
Then the Attorney General recruits him
to be his wife's personal bodyguard.

291
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,400
Just keep going.

292
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,405
The lookout makes a Howard Hunt
the ringleader.

293
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,160
Hunt's also ex-CIA.

294
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,241
But get this,

295
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,200
a year ago we were asked to do
a background check

296
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,440
on Hunt for a government job.

297
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,648
- Did we clear him?
- Yeah.

298
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,840
For a job at the White House

299
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,720
as a "consultant on highly sensitive,
confidential matters."

300
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,209
That's a job title?

301
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,960
White House, Justice and the CIA

302
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,646
are gonna want to know everything we know.

303
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:42,566
But we aren't going to tell them. Anything.

304
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,609
The Attorney General already called.

305
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,720
Nobody talks to the Attorney General.

306
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,645
- We answer to the Attorney General.
- You answer to me.

307
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:52,849
What about the director?

308
00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:55,327
I'll take care of the director.

309
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,040
<i>There is still no explanation
why the Watergate suspects</i>

310
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:01,320
<i>might have attempted
to bug Democratic headquarters.</i>

311
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,760
<i>A spokesman for the Attorney General
said yesterday</i>

312
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,760
<i>that the FBI is already investigating.</i>

313
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,322
<i>Their report will be turned over to the
criminal division for appropriate...</i>

314
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,925
John Dean, the president's counsel,
just went into the director's office.

315
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,486
- Let me know when he comes out.
- Yes, Mr. Felt.

316
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,890
<i>Mr. Dean has left.</i>

317
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,083
<i>The director's leaving in a bit to play golf.</i>

318
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,451
What's John Dean doing here in this building?

319
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,121
This is a remarkable amount of information

320
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,000
about the break-in.

321
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,209
We're still gathering string.
This is just the beginning.

322
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,170
Okay.

323
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,926
First of all, there are no more interviews

324
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,240
with White House or CIA people
without permission.

325
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,129
- What?
- Whose permission?

326
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:34,009
Give us a minute.

327
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,410
Get out.

328
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,768
The FBI is an independent body.

329
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,080
I'm aware of that.

330
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,760
Are you also aware that means
we don't need permission

331
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,922
to do anything from anybody?

332
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,280
You give that up just one time,
you don't ever get it back. Ever.

333
00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:57,320
Let's not get dramatic.
We don't even know what this is.

334
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,320
That's right. We don't.

335
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,051
But we're going to find out.
That's what we do.

336
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,920
You don't work for them.

337
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,571
You're the director of the FBI now.

338
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,364
Forty-eight hours.

339
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,562
We put the investigation to bed
and get on with the rest of our lives

340
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,610
in two days.

341
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,602
You've got 48 hours.

342
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:34,651
Thank you.

343
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,560
Nice to see you.

344
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,404
What brings you back?

345
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:24,925
Two words.

346
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,764
Re... Venge.

347
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,211
- Was everything all right, Daniel?
- It's great as always.

348
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,881
- Your total's going to be $47.70.
- Thanks, darlin'.

349
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,850
There you go. I'll see you next time.

350
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,485
Say hi to your mama.

351
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,529
You look like hell.

352
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:32,720
Have some food.

353
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,007
- How are you, sir?
- Just coffee, thanks.

354
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,320
So, what does this look like to you, Sandy,

355
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,120
and your pals at <i>Time</i> magazine?

356
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,930
The Watergate thing?

357
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,486
Honestly, I...

358
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,044
No one at <i>Time</i> magazine or any newspaper
I know can figure it out.

359
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,770
Ex-spooks get caught planting bugs?

360
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,887
Does have a particular odor to it though.

361
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,440
I bet your old pal Bill Sullivan
sure misses the FBI.

362
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,400
Because I heard the White House
gave him some bullshit job,

363
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:28,891
waiting for Hoover to kick off.

364
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,848
Sullivan wants back in.

365
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,322
The president wants him back in
to run the FBI their way.

366
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,443
Nixon and Sullivan.

367
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:43,810
Those two are made for each other.

368
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,005
Here you go.

369
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,364
Could we have some pie, please?

370
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,160
What kind? We have apple, blueberry...

371
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,367
You pick.

372
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,363
What are we doing out here, Mark?

373
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,889
I was given 48 hours.

374
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,211
To do what?

375
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,247
Wrap up the Watergate investigation.

376
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,365
By who?

377
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,125
Gray?

378
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,649
Pat Gray, the director of the FBI,

379
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,330
ordered the FBI
to stop its own investigation?

380
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,400
There are calls we are not allowed to make

381
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,370
and phone and bank records we can't go near.

382
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,450
Thank you.

383
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:01,008
In all the years I've known you,
you've never given up a single,

384
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,929
real secret.

385
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,050
Nothing but the company line.

386
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,366
These are uncharted waters for you.

387
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,842
So, one more time. What are we doing?

388
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,008
You looking for a little help?

389
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,087
Payback?

390
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,571
I want the FBI left alone to do its job.

391
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,010
That's all I want.

392
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,011
And you want me to light a fire
around the edges

393
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,041
with a story.

394
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,647
Well, I can see why
they didn't give you the job.

395
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,242
They must be terrified of you.

396
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,926
- Come on, come on.
- <i>Washington Post.</i>

397
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,051
I miss you.
I know I'm not supposed to say that.

398
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,722
- It is okay to say that.
- No.

399
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,650
It's too touchy-feely.

400
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,688
I need you too much.

401
00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:16,563
Where were you tonight?

402
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,081
The switchboard said
they didn't know where you were.

403
00:34:19,720 --> 00:34:22,160
Because I didn't tell them.

404
00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:24,083
Well, what about Mrs. Tschudy?

405
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,091
She didn't know either.

406
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,445
But you taught her
to always say that, didn't you?

407
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,441
Have you been making the calls about Joan?

408
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,570
I've called all her friends.

409
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,971
They haven't heard from her in nearly a year.

410
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,845
Are you looking for her?

411
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,640
Is the most powerful law enforcement agency

412
00:34:59,720 --> 00:35:01,440
in the world looking for her?

413
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,011
I can't do that.

414
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,729
It's against the rules?

415
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,286
We don't know what they will find.

416
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:17,881
Do we?

417
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,083
Where the hell did they get that?

418
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,400
Mr. Bates.

419
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,928
This <i>Washington Post</i> story says
we know who the Watergate ringleader is.

420
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,760
Then, this morning,
our <i>Time</i> magazine pal, Sandy Smith,

421
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,400
called the acting director
to say that he is prepping a story

422
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,960
that the FBI is plotting a whitewash.

423
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,728
He said the director has put
a 48-hour cap on the investigation.

424
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,120
- What's your point?
- Is that true?

425
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,960
Someone in this office
is talking to the press.

426
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,640
The point, Mr. Lano,

427
00:37:15,720 --> 00:37:17,440
is that leaks kill investigations.

428
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,680
- Okay. Okay.
- Take it down, Angie.

429
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,000
You want to conduct
a leak investigation, be my guest.

430
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,368
But you got 200 field agents from
here to LA all chasing down leads,

431
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,240
so you're gonna have to ask them all, too.

432
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,040
Tone, in front of Mr. Felt.

433
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,886
I can guarantee it wasn't me
or any of the guys in this room.

434
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,480
Donald H. Segretti.

435
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,120
You pulled that name
from Howard Hunt's phone records.

436
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:40,964
He called Hunt a few dozen times, yeah.

437
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,648
This says Segretti used to be a lawyer
in the Treasury Department,

438
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,087
paid out of the account
that funded the Watergate.

439
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,443
An account belonging to
the Committee to Re-elect the President.

440
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,480
- Who is the head of the committee?
- John Mitchell.

441
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,370
Former Attorney General, John Mitchell.

442
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,611
The best we can make out is
Segretti's some kind of prankster.

443
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,800
You know, like he's spying on the Dems,
sending their wives dirty pictures.

444
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,920
- It's all bottom-feeder, frat boy stuff.
- Indictable under election laws.

445
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,800
Forget the plot of the story, Mr. Kunkel.

446
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,040
What's the theme? What's it saying?
What does it mean?

447
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,960
Like Angie, like Mr. Lano said,
we are still vetting the leads.

448
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,931
All the ugly politics,
all the dirty money, all the sleaze.

449
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,044
It means the goddamn punks
are running the country!

450
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:29,327
Keep going.

451
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,690
You might want to talk to
the White House about those leaks.

452
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,400
- Why?
- 'Cause whenever I'm lucky enough

453
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,528
to get someone over there
to actually talk to me,

454
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,566
they know what I'm gonna ask before I ask it.

455
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,608
It's like they already know
what I want to know.

456
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,802
Mr. Felt, I have the White House
on the phone. Mr. John Dean.

457
00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:21,926
Put him through.

458
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:26,807
Mr. Dean.

459
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,366
<i>The White House is concerned
about these press leaks.</i>

460
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,320
Of course.

461
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,643
<i>We think the source
must be someone in the FBI.</i>

462
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,883
Why FBI?

463
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,287
<i>That's where the information is.</i>

464
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,370
Those stories could have come
from someone in the White House.

465
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,080
We want you to do something
about it, Mr. Felt.

466
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,402
- <i>Okay.</i>
- Now.

467
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,245
Fine.

468
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:02,845
But I don't understand.

469
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:06,971
- Which part?
- The part about you calling me.

470
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,529
The White House
has no authority over the FBI.

471
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,889
- We can...
- At all, Mr. Dean.

472
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,325
But we can suggest...

473
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,922
I'm afraid the White House
has nothing to suggest to the FBI.

474
00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:32,883
- <i>Thank you, Mr. Felt.</i>
- Thank you, Mr. Dean.

475
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:05,205
I want you to disappear
our investigation on these two names.

476
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,560
Get them off the interview list.

477
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,244
I don't get it. They're nobody.

478
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:10,771
Just do it.

479
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,801
Then make sure you say you did it
in Monday's memo for the director.

480
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,126
Thank you.

481
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,287
Your daily Watergate briefing.

482
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,689
Thanks, Charlie. May I call you Charlie?

483
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,762
How much of what we are getting
on Watergate am I actually seeing?

484
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,160
Mr. Felt gives me the headlines.
I type them up.

485
00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:50,323
I give Mr. Felt the original
and bring you a copy.

486
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,931
Mr. Felt doesn't want
to waste your time with details.

487
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:02,845
Okay.

488
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,211
Okay, Mr. Gray.

489
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,205
Mr. Kunkel!

490
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:23,240
Director Gray wanted you to know
he understands you and your boys

491
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:24,765
are doing a hell of a job.

492
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,680
Well, thank Mr. Gray, and not to worry.
We'll gather the whole ball of yarn.

493
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,440
Mr. Gray also wanted you to know

494
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:35,242
that there was gonna be a small change
in procedure in the information flow.

495
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:38,803
How and, more precisely, where it flows.

496
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,010
Not just the headlines, but the story itself.

497
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,482
The details, as it were.

498
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,202
Does Mr. Felt know?

499
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:50,965
Of course.

500
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,407
Angie Lano called me last night.

501
00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:51,370
He told me that he called the White House

502
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,448
to set up a round of interviews.

503
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,080
Half hour later the White House called back

504
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,084
to tell me that we can't talk
to two of the guys

505
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,960
because their names were taken off the list.

506
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,445
The two names you told me.

507
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,763
How would the White House know?

508
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:10,768
I guess somebody told them.

509
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,885
The only people who knew were me and you.

510
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:17,691
And Mr. Gray.

511
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:20,925
And Mr. Gray.

512
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,888
We need to find out what Gray has,

513
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:28,884
and how he's getting it.

514
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,960
Did I do something wrong?

515
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,610
Mr. Bates tells me

516
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,406
you've been giving Mr. Gray everything
we're collecting on Watergate.

517
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,607
All our interviews, all of our files.

518
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,491
Did Mr. Gray tell you to bypass me?

519
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,688
Well, he didn't say
it was a secret or anything.

520
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,963
But he said that you knew.

521
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,760
How often did you give him our files?

522
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,524
- Every day.
- Why?

523
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,083
We know why.

524
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,120
Did you give the Attorney General
any information about our investigation?

525
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,680
- I don't talk to the Attorney General.
- Did you, Mr. Bates?

526
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,531
Mr. Miller?

527
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,963
The Attorney General called me this morning

528
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,488
about something
he could only have heard from the FBI.

529
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,688
He's putting a box around Watergate.

530
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,480
We can't touch anything before the break-in.

531
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:49,167
We have to stay away
from all the White House corruption.

532
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,521
In other words,
the crimes that matter don't matter.

533
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,523
For the first time in its history, the FBI

534
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,680
has been quarantined.

535
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,731
Crimes that it knows about
will go uninvestigated.

536
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,811
- Mr. Felt...
- Thank you, Mr. Kunkel.

537
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,243
So, with everything we have right now,

538
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:31,922
if we could get indictments,

539
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,242
in your opinion, who would we get?

540
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:39,651
How high?

541
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,769
Maybe Attorney General.

542
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,005
What about the president?

543
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:56,769
What about the president?

544
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,807
If the president's lying...

545
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,560
Is the president lying?

546
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,324
They're all lying.

547
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,086
Then, yes.

548
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:13,245
Maybe the president.

549
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,520
<i>As the investigations went forward,</i>

550
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:22,367
<i>I repeatedly asked
those conducting the investigation</i>

551
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,800
<i>whether there was any reason to believe</i>

552
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,965
<i>that members of my administration
were in any way involved.</i>

553
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:34,124
<i>I received repeated assurances
that there were none.</i>

554
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,682
<i>I discounted the stories in the press.</i>

555
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,565
<i>Who do you think gave the orders
to bug the Watergate?</i>

556
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:44,761
<i>Well, the persons who the grand jury
indicted in Washington, DC, last week,</i>

557
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,480
<i>gave the orders to do it.</i>

558
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,051
<i>You don't think
they were following orders, then?</i>

559
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:49,960
- <i>No, I do not.</i>
- <i>There's nobody higher?</i>

560
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,088
<i>There has been no evidence
presented that anybody did that.</i>

561
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,880
<i>I think the opposition is disappointed</i>

562
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,680
<i>that after such a thorough,
intensive investigation</i>

563
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,240
<i>that just seven persons were indicted.</i>

564
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,840
<i>The Watergate break-in took a dramatic turn</i>

565
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:04,120
<i>when one of the defendants,</i>

566
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,480
former White House consultant E. Howard Hunt,

567
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:07,840
changed his plea to guilty.

568
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,840
<i>The judge accepted the guilty pleas
of the four Miami men</i>

569
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,160
<i>on the condition
that they answer his questions</i>

570
00:48:13,240 --> 00:48:15,520
<i>on who else was involved in Watergate.</i>

571
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,760
<i>With the crucial questions
of who, and what, were behind it all</i>

572
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:20,967
<i>still unanswered.</i>

573
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,648
<i>I got a call from across the river.</i>

574
00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:28,405
- <i>Which river is that?</i>
- <i>The Potomac.</i>

575
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:29,971
The CIA.

576
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,440
The CIA is telling us we need to taper off.

577
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,250
Taper off?

578
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,840
- We're getting too close.
- Too close to what?

579
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:39,920
I can't tell you.

580
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,040
You can't, or you won't?

581
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,123
It's a matter of national security.

582
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:48,604
<i>We are doing everything that we can
to investigate this incident.</i>

583
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:52,440
<i>No one on the White House staff,
no one in this administration</i>

584
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,241
<i>was involved in this very bizarre incident.</i>

585
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,531
<i>The CIA is telling us we need to taper off.</i>

586
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,360
<i>Disappointed. Disappointed.</i>

587
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,480
<i>No one in this administration...</i>

588
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,882
- <i>We're getting too close.</i>
- <i>It's a matter of national security.</i>

589
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,240
<i>A bomb exploded early this morning
in the Pentagon</i>

590
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,527
<i>and left-wing terrorists
telephoned newspapers</i>

591
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:18,005
<i>to say they were responsible.</i>

592
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,320
<i>People calling themselves members
of the Weather Underground...</i>

593
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:22,800
- Yes?
- <i>Are you watching this?</i>

594
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:24,120
I see it.

595
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,520
- <i>What about the White House?</i>
- It's at the top of their list.

596
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,120
I told you that three months ago.

597
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:33,808
- But can they really hit it?
- They just hit the Pentagon.

598
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,089
I want us to open files on every member

599
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,840
of every counterculture organization
in the country.

600
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,446
<i>Hunt them to exhaustion. No holds barred.</i>

601
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,440
The president is fighting
for the White House.

602
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,290
That's not my job.

603
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:47,960
The president needs order.

604
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,566
I promised the president he'd have order.

605
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,325
Which brings me to my next point, Felt.

606
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,121
I spoke to the Attorney General.

607
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,604
The Attorney General
is going to officially announce

608
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,080
we have found nothing
connecting the president on Watergate.

609
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,640
What? But that's not real.

610
00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:15,601
I know. And the president knows
you are still pursuing it.

611
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,200
<i>You're never going to find
what you're chasing.</i>

612
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,931
<i>I want it to end. It's time to finish it.</i>

613
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:24,690
<i>Shut it down.</i>

614
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,124
I hear you and your wife
are registered Democrats, Mark.

615
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,644
I hope you're not going
to let that get in the way.

616
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,160
<i>The Weather Underground, they're combining.</i>

617
00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:42,000
They're multiplying.

618
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:43,640
We'll never get warrants. Not now.

619
00:50:43,720 --> 00:50:44,721
Warrants?

620
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,000
We're not talking about the kids
sleeping out there in the parks.

621
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,960
We're talking about people who would
burn your children alive in their beds.

622
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,400
People die because we stick to the
letter of the law, we lose everything,

623
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:56,481
including the law.

624
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:58,641
We're taking off the gloves.

625
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,720
Entries, taps, nothing on paper.

626
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,600
No warrants.

627
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,520
Mr. Miller's people report to Mr. Miller.

628
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:06,760
Mr. Miller reports to me.

629
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:08,444
Just like the bad old days.

630
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,680
Where's Bill Sullivan when you need him?

631
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:12,320
He's over at the White House,

632
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:16,087
protecting the nation by
spying on senators and their mistresses

633
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,961
while we're here just trying to
keep all this goddamn mess together.

634
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:28,080
Hey, look.

635
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,330
We're on your side here.

636
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,928
All I'm saying is, all that was behind us.

637
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:35,800
Even Hoover knew the dirty stuff was over.

638
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:37,291
That's why Bill's gone.

639
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,170
All I'm saying is, everyone is watching.

640
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,046
How many more kids do we have to lose?

641
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,130
How many more
do we let just vanish into eternity?

642
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,440
I am not Bill Sullivan.

643
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,966
This is still the goddamn FBI.

644
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:16,925
I don't want to intrude.

645
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:19,447
Then don't.

646
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:25,161
You heard from her?

647
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,046
Joan.

648
00:52:31,240 --> 00:52:33,561
You think she's involved with all this?

649
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:35,920
The Underground?

650
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:38,931
How could she?

651
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,920
She's just like me. Exactly like me.

652
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,240
She worships you.

653
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:50,727
She's okay.

654
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:54,120
I can feel it, Mark.

655
00:52:57,240 --> 00:52:59,811
There's a price to pay for what we do,
Mr. Miller.

656
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:02,162
There's a price to pay for what we become.

657
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,407
We all pay it, one way or another.

658
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:14,570
<i>Watergate was the most intensive,
objective and thorough investigation</i>

659
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:19,602
<i>in the history of the
US attorney's office and the FBI.</i>

660
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,160
<i>The Justice Department has now completed</i>

661
00:53:24,240 --> 00:53:26,527
<i>its criminal investigation</i>

662
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,962
<i>without implicating any present official</i>

663
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,164
<i>of either the White House</i>

664
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,729
<i>or the Committee to Re-elect the President.</i>

665
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:37,326
- Completed?
- <i>Any questions?</i>

666
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:38,680
What the hell, man?

667
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:40,680
Get me Felt on the phone.

668
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:42,520
- <i>As to the White House?</i>
- Hold on, hold on. Wait a second.

669
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:47,520
<i>I understand the FBI's Watergate
investigation is in a state of repose</i>

670
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:48,647
<i>and unlikely to be reopened.</i>

671
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:51,683
Anybody tell us this was over yet?

672
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,090
Get me Felt on the phone! Or Bates!

673
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:57,811
God damn it, get me Felt!

674
00:53:58,080 --> 00:53:59,320
- She can't.
- Why the hell not?

675
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:00,480
'Cause he's right there.

676
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:04,326
<i>And now, let's return to the press
conference of the US Attorney General.</i>

677
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:52,486
Maybe she's dead.

678
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,250
Maybe she just gave up.

679
00:54:59,240 --> 00:55:01,004
Didn't think anybody cared.

680
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,367
Maybe she's right out there watching us.

681
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,920
To see what a man like you does when
your daughter just vanishes one night

682
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,480
for no good reason.

683
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,085
Joan had a reason for everything.

684
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:17,247
You hated her.

685
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,009
Mothers don't hate their daughters.

686
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,002
It's just not always easy being one.

687
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:31,568
You dressed her up like a doll,

688
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,760
until she got old enough
to look just like you.

689
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:35,840
Mark.

690
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,560
You kept telling her to get out
until one day she listened to you.

691
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:39,846
Listen to me.

692
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:42,760
I had no mother.

693
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:44,200
But she did.

694
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:45,486
Yes.

695
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:47,441
She did.

696
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:49,811
My father just left.

697
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,569
So, yes, she gave me up

698
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:56,444
to foster homes,

699
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:58,690
then the orphanage.

700
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,328
- But you know all about that, don't you?
- Yeah.

701
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:12,089
Then I made my own way.

702
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:15,731
Until you.

703
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:18,125
My white knight.

704
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,169
Our homes are the only homes I've ever known.

705
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,483
You were both mine.

706
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:39,201
<i>How's home, Mark?</i>

707
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,006
Why are you asking?

708
00:56:44,720 --> 00:56:46,484
That daughter of yours, Jill?

709
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:49,281
Joan.

710
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:51,811
Well, I hear she's terrific.

711
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:56,044
Fulbright scholar, first girl in the country.

712
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,410
A chip off the old block.

713
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:09,602
I want you to be the first
to hear my statement to the press.

714
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:16,889
"No pressure has been put on me

715
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:21,080
"or any of my special agents
in the FBI's investigation

716
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,608
"and that it strains..." I thought
I would just nip this in the bud.

717
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:27,766
"It strains credulity that President Nixon

718
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,281
"could have done a con job
on the whole American people."

719
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:34,291
What do you think?

720
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:38,645
It's just fine.

721
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,246
The Democrats
have issued a statement this morning.

722
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:52,011
"The FBI's Watergate investigation
is a whitewash.

723
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,844
"What is involved here is not only
the political life of this nation

724
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:03,771
"but the very morality of our leaders

725
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:08,680
"at a time when the United States
desperately needs to revitalize

726
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,967
"its moral standards."

727
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:17,288
"The FBI's Watergate investigation

728
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:21,245
"is a whitewash."

729
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:26,886
That's it.

730
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:34,880
Well, gentlemen.

731
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:36,485
Here's what we know.

732
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,240
We know what we've heard
out of the Department of Justice

733
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,209
the past two days is bullshit.

734
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,720
We know the men who broke into the Watergate

735
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:49,484
are not the end of this thing,

736
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:52,605
but the beginning.

737
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:55,280
We know this is the latest link

738
00:58:55,360 --> 00:59:00,400
in a chain of illegal,
covert intelligence operations

739
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:02,848
by the president's re-election campaign.

740
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:07,280
We know we are facing obstruction
from multiple fronts.

741
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:08,771
From the White House.

742
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:10,651
From the CIA.

743
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,360
From the Attorney General
of the United States,

744
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:17,125
who is our boss, by the way.

745
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,768
It is not our job to speculate
on the involvement of the president.

746
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:26,607
It is our job to follow the bread crumbs.

747
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,280
But those bread crumbs appear to be taking us

748
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,886
on a tour of the West Wing
of the White House,

749
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,565
and in the general direction
of the Oval Office.

750
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:44,640
We also know we've been ordered
to shut down our pursuit of all this

751
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:46,245
as of today.

752
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,850
And we know that except
for the 30 men in this room,

753
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,960
no one in the entire country
knows any of this

754
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,566
and may never know any of this.

755
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:06,247
No one can stop the driving force
of an FBI investigation.

756
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:08,923
Not even the FBI.

757
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:39,086
Segretti.

758
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:18,840
I'm going to give you the name of a man

759
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:21,287
who was asked to work
for the Nixon administration

760
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:23,731
in an unusual way.

761
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:25,687
<i>What are you talking about?</i>

762
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,880
There's only one way to understand
what Watergate really means,

763
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:31,166
and this is it.

764
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:34,287
The name

765
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:38,960
is Alex Shipley.

766
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:40,087
Shipley.

767
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:43,080
He lives in Nashville.

768
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,800
The man who approached him
was a lawyer out of LA

769
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:48,371
named Donald Segretti.

770
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:49,881
Segretti.

771
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,322
Shipley can tell you everything
you need to know.

772
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:56,291
<i>Will Shipley talk?</i>

773
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:00,126
I guess you're going
to have to find that out.

774
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:01,807
One more thing.

775
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:06,405
This comes from classified FBI files.

776
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,730
The Department of Justice has it,
the White House has it,

777
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:12,525
and, now, you have it.

778
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,801
<i>Let's just get on with the election
and stop this nonsense</i>

779
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,120
<i>about there having been
a political espionage campaign</i>

780
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:22,200
<i>against the Democrats.</i>

781
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,760
<i>Here's what's making the news
at the top of the hour.</i>

782
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:28,960
<i>North Vietnamese military attempts
to break through South Vietnamese lines</i>

783
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:32,840
<i>have been met with an intense
bombing attack by a US aircraft.</i>

784
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:36,480
<i>General Creighton Abrams,
the United States commander in Vietnam,</i>

785
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:38,640
<i>ordered every available B-52</i>

786
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,560
<i>into the northern sector of South Vietnam.</i>

787
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:42,440
<i>Though baseball season is over,</i>

788
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:45,920
<i>the Philadelphia Phils went to
the Ozarks for a new manager today.</i>

789
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:49,083
<i>Los Angeles coach Danny Ozark
was the surprise choice</i>

790
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,880
<i>of Phils' general manager, Paul Owens.</i>

791
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:55,203
<i>Ozark has had no big league
managerial experience...</i>

792
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:40,720
Mr. Woodward.

793
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:44,685
The story isn't moving.

794
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:47,689
Everyone stopped listening to you.

795
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:49,404
This isn't the same as before.

796
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:54,091
We're lost in detail.

797
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:57,204
That's their plan.

798
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,726
They want everyone confused.

799
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,443
Confusion is control.

800
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,684
The truth could ruin the administration.

801
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:16,807
How high?

802
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:19,251
How high does it go?

803
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,482
You still don't understand
what I'm giving you.

804
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,690
This is dangerous stuff you're playing with.

805
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,725
Especially, if it's known
before November seventh.

806
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,080
That's election day.

807
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,050
You put out the right story,
the public will scream.

808
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,647
The Attorney General
will have to let me keep going.

809
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:17,525
My editors know that I'm talking to somebody,

810
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:18,880
but not who.

811
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:20,200
They don't ask.

812
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,640
No one understands
how one person knows so much.

813
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:31,121
No one can possibly know how much I know.

814
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:36,331
With all this mystery,

815
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:39,807
there's a nickname for you at the paper.

816
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,602
- Deep Throat.
- What?

817
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,008
They didn't know what else to call you.

818
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:49,127
That's just...

819
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,002
They shouldn't have to call me anything.

820
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:05,207
Take out your notebook. There's more.

821
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:22,080
<i>"FBI agents have established
Watergate bugging incident,</i>

822
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:26,085
"massive campaign

<i>Based on baseless, cowardly sources

832
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:54,920
He's here, Mark. He has to be.

833
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:56,889
There's a spy in the FBI.

834
01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:59,320
FBI agents have established,

835
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:03,240
one federal investigative official said,
according to FBI reports.

836
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:04,811
That's us, god damn it.

837
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:11,768
There is information in here
that the bureau only got 72 hours ago.

838
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:13,883
Are you goddamn joking?

839
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,370
Mr. Felt,
you had something you wanted to say.

840
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:25,600
The last few days, I've heard various people

841
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,160
accuse Mr. Lano of leaking to the press.

842
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:29,731
- You've got to be kidding me!
- Him?

843
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:32,967
And that he and certain newspaper reporters

844
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,360
- have been seen together.
- I'm going to be sick.

845
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,285
I wanted to say to you, Mr. Lano,
in front of everyone here

846
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:41,884
that I know these are
vicious lies by jealous agents.

847
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:46,200
You're doing a fine job, and no matter what,

848
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:47,805
the director and I will support you.

849
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,011
Mr. Gray.

850
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,684
I may not be an FBI lifer like some of you.

851
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:57,523
I'm certainly no Mark Felt.

852
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:01,607
Since I arrived here,
I have put up with paranoia,

853
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,000
insubordination, second-guessing.

854
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,048
Gentlemen, it's come-to-Jesus time.

855
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:12,800
Whoever the leaker is,
whoever is the Judas among you,

856
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:16,480
betraying me,
the other good men in this room,

857
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,120
his family, God,

858
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:21,320
not to mention the bureau
and the legacy of J. Edgar Hoover,

859
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:22,447
step forward.

860
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:27,404
Right here, right now.

861
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:56,165
Charlie, we got an office pool
on who the leak is.

862
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:58,690
My money's on you.

863
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:21,490
It's just one big game, Charlie.

864
01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:25,726
We're all just chess pieces.
You gotta remember that.

865
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:29,969
What's the body count?

866
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:32,690
Eight, so far.

867
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:36,562
You, me, a few guys on my team.

868
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:42,651
- Where are they sending you?
- St. Louis.

869
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:46,888
But I don't know
how much more I have left in me.

870
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:49,641
You?

871
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:51,920
San Francisco.

872
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:54,371
Well, at least, it's Frisco.

873
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:56,287
Yeah.

874
01:09:58,600 --> 01:09:59,647
Great.

875
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:03,762
How many years you put in here, Charlie?

876
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:12,047
The whole run.

877
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:14,845
My kids were born here.

878
01:10:21,480 --> 01:10:23,120
<i>Whatever Watergate was, whatever it wasn't,</i>

879
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:26,204
<i>the American people don't seem
to understand, nor care,</i>

880
01:10:26,440 --> 01:10:29,285
<i>as Nixon has won in a landslide.</i>

881
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:41,927
I appreciate you taking the time, Mr. Felt.

882
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:45,769
I always take care of my people, Mr. Bates.

883
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:50,760
In fact, my father always said to me,

884
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:57,162
"Mark, whatever we do,
we have to make our lives vectors."

885
01:10:57,480 --> 01:11:01,849
Lines with force and direction.

886
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:11,920
You have to destroy anything
that is sick beyond repair

887
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:15,040
to rescue it from its agony.

888
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:16,201
Mark.

889
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:18,361
And...

890
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:23,125
And the agony it causes everyone else,
Mr. Bates.

891
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:35,009
<i>It was thought that he might have
a little bit of difficulty.</i>

892
01:11:49,440 --> 01:11:51,727
- Mr. Felt.
- What are you doing, Charlie?

893
01:11:57,280 --> 01:11:59,169
What is it, Mr. Bates?

894
01:12:11,480 --> 01:12:13,881
Here's to you. Bravo.

895
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:29,880
Genesis commune.

896
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:31,769
Ben Lomond, California.

897
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:33,527
Check it thoroughly.

898
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:59,365
These leaks
are driving the White House crazy.

899
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:02,883
The White House thinks it knows who it is.

900
01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:06,131
Your name came up.

901
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:15,408
Do you have any idea what that would mean?

902
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:17,285
Treason, for one.

903
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:21,000
Betrayal of everything
the FBI stands for, for another.

904
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:22,844
Everything you stand for.

905
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:25,364
So, why would I do it?

906
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:27,201
I don't know.

907
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:30,528
I can't imagine their thinking.

908
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:35,683
Why don't they fire me then?

909
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:37,811
You know everything.

910
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:42,891
To them, the only thing worse
than keeping you is firing you.

911
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:49,010
Dean did say something strange.

912
01:14:49,440 --> 01:14:52,285
Apparently, they know everything
going on inside our shop.

913
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:55,929
- They have a source.
- Inside the FBI?

914
01:14:56,480 --> 01:15:01,725
He said they hear everything.

915
01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:24,040
We just swept your office for bugs, Mr. Felt.

916
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:25,531
Do it again!

917
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:44,646
The knives are out.

918
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:47,011
More than you know.

919
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:49,327
<i>Am I safe?</i>

920
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:51,207
<i>No one is.</i>

921
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,249
The White House
is gonna sanitize the entire town.

922
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:59,000
<i>The director of Central Intelligence
will be gone by morning.</i>

923
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:00,200
<i>Why?</i>

924
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:03,602
Apparently, he couldn't
smoke you out fast enough.

925
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:06,287
The source

926
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:09,290
of all those stories.

927
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:13,490
Where does the CIA stand?

928
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:16,922
<i>The CIA is building a wall.</i>

929
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:19,400
<i>We'll stay out of your way,</i>

930
01:16:19,480 --> 01:16:21,403
but if we're forced to protect ourselves,

931
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:22,881
we will.

932
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:27,320
<i>The FBI will never reach the CIA on this.</i>

933
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:28,686
And the White House?

934
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:32,051
Presidents come and go,

935
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:33,651
but the CIA stays.

936
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:35,645
The FBI stays.

937
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:39,371
We are the constants.

938
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:42,366
<i>I almost forgot.</i>

939
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:47,361
<i>Time</i> magazine's person of the year
is going to be Richard Nixon.

940
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:52,806
I thought you'd like to know.

941
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:56,927
Happy holidays.

942
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:39,285
The president told me
the unthinkable has happened.

943
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:41,969
He actually misses Hoover.

944
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,362
"Hoover would have gotten
the dogs off him," he said.

945
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:48,243
"He'd have everyone scared to death."

946
01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:00,683
The White House is going
to make me director permanently.

947
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:03,006
Congratulations.

948
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:09,768
Bill Sullivan will be my number two.

949
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:22,809
You know what the president said to me today?

950
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:26,766
He said, "The Germans had the right idea
during World War ll.

951
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:32,040
"If they went through a town and one
of their soldiers got hit by a sniper,

952
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:35,488
"they'd line up the whole goddamn town
and kill everyone."

953
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:42,165
He said, "It's time to clean out the FBI."

954
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:49,640
You know what that will mean for me.

955
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,324
Remember, they're afraid of you.

956
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:00,969
Mark, if you did know something,
you could come to me.

957
01:19:01,440 --> 01:19:04,091
We'd be able to work it out together.
We could do something about it.

958
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:08,249
I can't protect you anymore.

959
01:19:11,440 --> 01:19:12,965
Just give 'em what they want.

960
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:16,563
The traitor's head on a platter.

961
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:07,480
So, the president asked me what he should do.

962
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:11,281
And, I tell him, get rid of everyone
in the interest of the nation.

963
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:13,484
I didn't mean me, of course.

964
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:20,403
You don't have many friends left, you know.

965
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:24,648
A bunch of your FBI pals
told me to cut your nuts off.

966
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:30,322
Think they'll let you keep your badge?

967
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:33,243
You got a lot of people worried
in Washington.

968
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:35,404
They think you're gonna unwrap everything.

969
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:37,650
Everything from all the years.

970
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:42,688
Everything we, you and I, know.

971
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:44,530
Is that what you want to know, Bill?

972
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:48,646
This your last little errand?

973
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:52,444
To help the president sleep at night.

974
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:56,642
I'm just sayin', you open those scabs,

975
01:20:58,400 --> 01:20:59,765
a lot of things underneath.

976
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:02,610
Just remember, no one likes informers.

977
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:05,483
They only remember you as a rat,

978
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:09,122
even if you were their...
Even if you were their rat!

979
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:19,881
Mr. Felt, Mr. Miller's on the phone.
He needs to speak with you.

980
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:40,287
- This is Special Agent Clark.
- I don't want to know his name.

981
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:43,284
Tell him what you told Mr. Bates and me.

982
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:46,003
I don't think you have anything
to worry about, Mr. Felt.

983
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:49,240
You don't think.

984
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:50,401
Specific.

985
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:59,444
The commune where the subject, Joan Felt...

986
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:00,925
Do not say her name.

987
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:07,087
Where the target is...

988
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:10,923
Definitely some people of interest in there.

989
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:15,202
- Maybe some with the Underground.
- But the target?

990
01:22:18,480 --> 01:22:19,925
If you ask me,

991
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:23,368
just someone's kid looking for a way home.

992
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:36,960
We never spoke. No paper.

993
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:38,201
You don't know anything.

994
01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:10,050
Do you know your physics, Sandy?

995
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:13,845
If you tap repeatedly

996
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:17,605
on the post of a building,
and the tapping is relentless,

997
01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:21,360
it creates a rhythm.

998
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:26,240
If you do that long enough
and steadily enough, it will feed back.

999
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:28,440
The frequencies will align,

1000
01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:30,480
the molecules will scramble,

1001
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:35,441
and the whole thing, the whole building
will come apart from the inside

1002
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:37,164
and collapse in on itself,

1003
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:39,328
and all come tumbling down.

1004
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:42,840
The molecules are beginning to scramble.

1005
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:45,969
The FBI is coming apart.
Do you know where that takes us?

1006
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:49,440
Do you want a country
this big, this angry, this confused

1007
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:51,124
without a police department?

1008
01:23:56,440 --> 01:23:57,771
Get out your notebook.

1009
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:02,840
May, 1969 and February, 1971.

1010
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:06,607
Mark, are you sure about this?

1011
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:09,760
Between those dates,
White House employees were wiretapped.

1012
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:12,685
Many of them aides to the Secretary of State

1013
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:15,605
and five reporters,
including <i>The New York Times.</i>

1014
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:18,411
You're kidding.

1015
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,451
- This is hard for you.
- What part?

1016
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:29,564
All this truth.

1017
01:24:32,120 --> 01:24:34,885
The truth is hard for you.

1018
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:46,600
The FBI illegally,
unconstitutionally and reprehensibly

1019
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:49,120
bugged and taped

1020
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:51,560
and secretly photographed and memorialized

1021
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:53,802
every move that those people made.

1022
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:58,042
Them and their wives and
their mistresses and homosexual lovers.

1023
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:03,163
- Who did the wiretaps?
- Bill Sullivan.

1024
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:05,761
It became a rogue FBI operation.

1025
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:09,364
Sullivan drove it. Sullivan and
the White House by themselves.

1026
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:12,686
How 'bout you?

1027
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:15,880
What do you know?

1028
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:20,600
About everything else,
I knew every sordid little detail.

1029
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:22,011
But not this.

1030
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:24,444
They knew they couldn't tell me about this.

1031
01:25:25,480 --> 01:25:26,845
Yeah, they couldn't count on you.

1032
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:32,720
The White House is packing
all its crimes in separate little boxes.

1033
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:36,122
Watergate, the spying, the ugliness, the rot.

1034
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:39,560
Each thing in a different box,
so that no one can put it together,

1035
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:41,920
so that no one sees it's all connected.

1036
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:45,800
And no one will care.
But it's all the same big thing.

1037
01:25:49,440 --> 01:25:52,489
And Watergate? Just the gateway.

1038
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,171
Can you get the story out
before Gray's confirmation hearing?

1039
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:03,965
What you're doing

1040
01:26:05,480 --> 01:26:08,006
will bring down the whole house of cards.

1041
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:13,126
But then, you already knew that.

1042
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:18,730
<i>Gray is ready to fall now.</i>

1043
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:20,810
<i>Watch where it leads.</i>

1044
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:38,803
Any last-minute advice?

1045
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:42,485
We've gone over everything.

1046
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:45,284
They'll go easy.

1047
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,003
You're the president's man.

1048
01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:52,882
Mr. Gray. What about this?

1049
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:56,688
I don't know what my position should be.

1050
01:26:58,280 --> 01:26:59,964
It was before your time.

1051
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:03,205
Tell the truth.

1052
01:27:04,440 --> 01:27:06,090
No one can argue with the truth.

1053
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:11,680
Mr. Gray, this <i>Time</i> magazine article
by Sandy Smith

1054
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:15,640
contains information on alleged wiretaps
requested by the White House

1055
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:17,480
installed by the FBI.

1056
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:19,085
How do you respond to these charges?

1057
01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:22,044
It was before my time, Senator.

1058
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:27,611
What about the assertion in this article

1059
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:31,080
that a White House aide
slipped Donald Segretti,

1060
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:34,000
a target of the bureau's
Watergate investigation,

1061
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:36,003
copies of what the FBI had?

1062
01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:37,920
We didn't look into that.

1063
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:40,321
- Why on Earth not?
- I'll have to look into that.

1064
01:27:40,440 --> 01:27:43,330
Did you know that the White House
had your confidential file?

1065
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:46,964
I did. Yes, Senator.

1066
01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:58,440
Let me tell you how that might have happened.

1067
01:27:58,520 --> 01:27:59,920
Please do.

1068
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,320
White House counsel John Dean told me

1069
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:06,320
the White House wanted everything
the FBI had on Watergate

1070
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:08,482
to help with its own investigation.

1071
01:28:09,440 --> 01:28:11,682
Mr. Dean took all those FBI files.

1072
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:14,531
How many Bureau reports are we talking about?

1073
01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:17,809
How many reports did you give Mr. Dean?

1074
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:20,364
I believe it was 82.

1075
01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:25,610
As the acting director of the FBI,
why on Earth would you do that?

1076
01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:28,000
- Because I was told to.
- By who?

1077
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:29,730
Who would have ordered that?

1078
01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:38,285
The president.

1079
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:44,960
<i>One of the most difficult decisions
of my presidency,</i>

1080
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:46,600
<i>I accepted the resignations</i>

1081
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:50,000
<i>of two of my closest associates
in the White House,</i>

1082
01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:52,720
<i>Bob Haldeman and John Ehrlichman.</i>

1083
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:57,602
<i>The counsel to the president, John Dean,
has also resigned.</i>

1084
01:28:58,040 --> 01:29:00,280
<i>The nation tonight is in the midst
of what may be</i>

1085
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:04,000
<i>the most critical constitutional crisis
in its history.</i>

1086
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:08,483
<i>As a result of the president's action,
the Attorney General has resigned.</i>

1087
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:13,042
<i>L. Patrick Gray,
head of the FBI for nearly a year,</i>

1088
01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:17,080
<i>will now never take the chair
occupied by J. Edgar Hoover.</i>

1089
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:19,120
<i>John Dean told me, during a conversation,</i>

1090
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:21,320
<i>that the White House masterminded a cover-up.</i>

1091
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:22,845
<i>I began by telling the president</i>

1092
01:29:22,960 --> 01:29:25,240
<i>that there was a cancer growing
on the presidency,</i>

1093
01:29:25,320 --> 01:29:28,360
<i>that it was important this cancer
be removed immediately</i>

1094
01:29:28,440 --> 01:29:30,920
<i>because it was growing more deadly every day.</i>

1095
01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:41,931
I found Joan.

1096
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:44,645
Let's go get her.

1097
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:03,611
My God. It's my parents.

1098
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:15,688
It's all right. I know.

1099
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:25,645
Mark?

1100
01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:37,651
Dad.

1101
01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:55,045
This is your grandson.

1102
01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:00,169
Come here, sweetheart.

1103
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:01,801
There we go.

1104
01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:17,524
I had this feeling when I was little,

1105
01:31:21,480 --> 01:31:23,084
that I couldn't see into his eyes,

1106
01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:30,085
that he didn't approve of me.

1107
01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:38,169
That he was holding me up
to some impossible standard.

1108
01:31:42,680 --> 01:31:43,920
That was me.

1109
01:31:49,080 --> 01:31:50,760
When you were sick and you were little,

1110
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:52,968
it was your father
who climbed into bed with you

1111
01:31:53,920 --> 01:31:55,445
in his shoes,

1112
01:31:56,640 --> 01:31:58,131
his holster, his suit.

1113
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:05,045
He'd sit with you for hours
and rock you till you fell back asleep.

1114
01:32:58,160 --> 01:33:01,005
Look at that big baby.

1115
01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:13,807
Thank you.

1116
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:19,326
- Mr. Director? We're ready.
- Mr. Felt.

1117
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:27,684
- Mark.
- Mr. Ruckelshaus.

1118
01:33:31,720 --> 01:33:33,006
Thank you.

1119
01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:37,240
Mr. Felt, thank you for 31 years of service

1120
01:33:37,320 --> 01:33:39,129
to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

1121
01:33:39,720 --> 01:33:41,370
- Thank you.
- Hear, hear!

1122
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:52,600
Congratulations.

1123
01:34:26,480 --> 01:34:28,483
- Hey, congratulations.
- Good luck, Mark.

1124
01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:29,806
Well done, Mark.

1125
01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:34,200
Congratulations, sir.

1126
01:34:34,280 --> 01:34:36,601
<i>I have never been a quitter.</i>

1127
01:34:37,200 --> 01:34:39,800
To leave office before my term is completed

1128
01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:42,611
is abhorrent to every instinct in my body.

1129
01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:46,245
<i>But as president,</i>

1130
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:49,729
<i>I must put the interests of America first.</i>

1131
01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:57,647
<i>Therefore,</i>

1132
01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:02,407
I shall resign the presidency
effective at noon tomorrow.

1133
01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:07,445
<i>Vice President Ford,
will be sworn in as president</i>

1134
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:10,445
<i>at that hour, in this office.</i>

1135
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:22,520
Counterespionage expert.

1136
01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:23,761
Nazi hunter.

1137
01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:27,966
You, Mr. Felt, are the G-man's G-man,

1138
01:35:28,920 --> 01:35:30,126
a hero and a patriot,

1139
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:33,083
and we are a grateful nation.

1140
01:35:34,320 --> 01:35:37,369
Ladies and gentlemen, for the past few weeks

1141
01:35:37,480 --> 01:35:40,360
you've heard through testimony
the sounds of the bombs

1142
01:35:40,440 --> 01:35:43,840
of the PLO and the Weather Underground
ringing in your ears.

1143
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:45,560
People died.

1144
01:35:45,640 --> 01:35:48,291
We were a nation at war at home and abroad.

1145
01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:50,485
We don't dispute that.

1146
01:35:51,440 --> 01:35:54,250
Now, we ask you to listen
for the sound of the Constitution.

1147
01:35:56,680 --> 01:35:57,727
You hear that?

1148
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:01,248
It doesn't make quite as much noise
as a bomb, does it?

1149
01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:05,800
It just sits there, silent,
like our conscience,

1150
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:09,601
just as it's done for the last 200 years.

1151
01:36:10,320 --> 01:36:11,560
Mr. Felt.

1152
01:36:13,160 --> 01:36:14,969
On September eighth, 1972,

1153
01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:19,080
did you order 143 FBI agents
across the country

1154
01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:20,680
to break into the homes of relatives

1155
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:22,720
of alleged members
of the Weather Underground,

1156
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:24,723
to wiretap their phones and bug their homes?

1157
01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:26,490
- Yes.
- Who else?

1158
01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:27,840
Who else what?

1159
01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:29,968
Who else participated in giving those orders?

1160
01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:36,120
- Assistant Director Edward Miller?
- I gave the order.

1161
01:36:36,200 --> 01:36:38,800
Acting Director L. Patrick Gray the third?

1162
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:40,484
I gave the order.

1163
01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:41,961
Charles Bates?

1164
01:36:47,440 --> 01:36:49,124
You're really gonna sit there and do that?

1165
01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:53,531
You're really gonna take that on
for everybody?

1166
01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:55,971
I gave the order.

1167
01:36:56,840 --> 01:36:59,440
Mr. Felt, you stated that you

1168
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:01,920
frequently briefed
the Nixon White House on the case.

1169
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:06,210
Maybe you could just give us
a quick snapshot on how that all worked.

1170
01:37:07,360 --> 01:37:11,763
I was in constant contact
with the White House on many matters.

1171
01:37:14,440 --> 01:37:17,125
In fact, I was in the Oval Office so often,

1172
01:37:18,120 --> 01:37:21,169
people used to say I had to be Deep Throat.

1173
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:29,684
What did you just say?

1174
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:34,360
I said I was with the White House,
Dean and so forth, so often,

1175
01:37:34,440 --> 01:37:38,650
people thought I was <i>The Washington</i>
<i>Post's</i> source for Watergate.

1176
01:37:38,960 --> 01:37:41,008
The person they called, "Deep Throat."

1177
01:37:49,640 --> 01:37:51,324
Before the witness is excused,

1178
01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:54,810
are there any questions from the jury?

1179
01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:00,289
Well, were you?

1180
01:38:01,440 --> 01:38:05,127
- Was I what?
- Were you Deep Throat?
