Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,390
I still can't understand why Pete
would wanna go into politics.
2
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,952
Maybe he wants to do something
to help his city.
3
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,193
Since when did a politician
wanna help anybody except himself?
4
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,437
- They're all crooks and liars.
- Oh, come on, Mark.
5
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,751
There's a lot of good, honest people
in public office.
6
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,400
Honest? You can't be honest.
7
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,438
You tell the truth,
you don't get elected.
8
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,240
Whose fault is that? The politician
or the people who vote for him?
9
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,439
Both. The people want the government
to be everything for them.
10
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,559
But they won't elect the guy who says
they're gonna have to pay for it.
11
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,760
I mean, we're getting to be like a
bunch of spoiled kids with bad parents.
12
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,275
Would you tell me why we're going
13
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,273
to your friend's
campaign headquarters to help?
14
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,711
Because Pete Nelson
is not a politician.
15
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,832
He's a cop who worked his way
through law school.
16
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,349
Thinks he can make a difference.
17
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,274
Man, you look in the dictionary
under the word "integrity,"
18
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,920
you'll find Pete's picture there.
19
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,471
Then he's running for mayor because
he wants to do something for his city.
20
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,391
- Isn't that what I just said?
- Yeah, one of us said it.
21
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:42,950
The other one said
he doesn't trust any politicians.
22
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,791
What are you listening to him for?
23
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,073
He doesn't even look like
a politician.
24
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,232
How would you know
what a politician looks like?
25
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,153
- Hey, Pete, how are you?
- Hey.
26
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,279
Oh, you always were good
at sneaking up on people.
27
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,512
Listen, I want you to meet
my friend Jonathan Smith.
28
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,634
Listen, we kind of work together
these days, if that's all right with you.
29
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:31,870
- Welcome aboard.
- Thank you.
30
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,550
I can use all the help I can get.
Come in, I'll show you around.
31
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,071
Where are you taking us?
To a smoke-filled room?
32
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,552
As a matter of fact, I am.
Except nobody smokes anymore.
33
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,911
Ann, look who I found
out on the street.
34
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,550
Mark Gordon. Oakland's finest.
35
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,399
- How you doing?
- Oh, I'm fine.
36
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,758
I'm so glad to see you.
37
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,869
I'd like you to meet
my campaign manager, Phil Schott.
38
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,750
Phil, this is Mark Gordon
and Jonathan Smith.
39
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,229
Our new advance men.
40
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,040
We've already got advance men,
professional advance men.
41
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,352
That's the problem. You professionals
treat me like I'm running for president.
42
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,712
Now, I can't even go to the bathroom
without a press release.
43
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,520
I've known Mark Gordon
for 20 years.
44
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,513
He's a buddy, not a PR man.
45
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,310
Besides, if anyone
can keep his perspective under fire,
46
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,114
- it's Mark Gordon.
- Right.
47
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,352
Perspective doesn't win elections,
Pete.
48
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:31,710
Money wins elections.
49
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,511
Media exposure wins elections.
Advertising wins elections.
50
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,075
You'll have to forgive Phil.
51
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,073
He doesn't have much faith
in the voter.
52
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,674
I don't have much faith in anything,
53
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,912
except getting my candidate
up on the podium
54
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,715
with a smile on his face
come election night.
55
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,351
There is only one rule in politics,
that's to win.
56
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,791
Richard Osbourne knows that rule,
believe me.
57
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,110
Who's Richard Osbourne?
58
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,593
He's the enemy. Right, Dad?
59
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,439
Don't tell me this is Jeff.
60
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,754
Well, it'd better be or I've been feeding
the wrong boy all these years.
61
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,872
This is the guy who threw
the first pass you ever caught, son.
62
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,472
And now
he's All City Tight End, Mark.
63
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,952
- You're Mark Gordon?
- Yeah, that's right.
64
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,032
Well, I'll be.
65
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,391
The last time I saw you,
you were about this high.
66
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,199
I remember you
being a little bigger too.
67
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,955
Well, everybody changes
over the years.
68
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,192
Almost everybody.
69
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,190
I can't promise
to change the system overnight,
70
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,194
but I guarantee you
that if I'm elected mayor,
71
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,080
there will be enough books
in the schoolrooms
72
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,518
and the kids will be able to play
in their schoolyard without fear.
73
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,912
That's what the last mayor said.
Now, what makes you different?
74
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,992
The last mayor
didn't make you pay the price.
75
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,640
What price? Higher taxes?
76
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,031
I won't rule out higher taxes
if necessary.
77
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:51,115
Look, in Japan, teachers are in the
upper 10 percent of the wage scale.
78
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,751
In the United States,
they're in the bottom 10 percent.
79
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,074
But I'm talking about what you,
what you must pay as parents.
80
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,199
The best teacher in the world
is a parent.
81
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,909
The best crime prevention I know of
82
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,631
is the example
parents give their children at home.
83
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,234
You believe that Nelson?
84
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,834
First he won't rule out higher taxes,
85
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,072
then he wants the people
to solve their own problems.
86
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,471
You see, people want answers,
they don't want lectures.
87
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,991
Yeah, well,
whatever he's saying, it's working.
88
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,959
These overnight tracking polls
still have him
89
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,080
with higher integrity numbers
than you have and lower negatives.
90
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,994
Well, we'll see what Pete Nelson's
integrity numbers are
91
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,994
after we nail his father-in-law.
92
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,439
Pratt, how are you
and the U.S. Attorney doing
93
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,592
on the Steelgrave case?
94
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,511
Of course he did inside trading
and he cheated on his taxes.
95
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,594
Nobody made that kind of money
by being honest.
96
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,711
That's what I'd like to hear. Yeah.
97
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,074
Don't let anybody know
where you got this idea.
98
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,360
- Dad.
- What?
99
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,193
Are we still going
to the game on Saturday?
100
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,430
What game?
101
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,034
The game between
Taft and Kennedy.
102
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:01,511
What, you want me to go watch
Nelson's kid beat your school?
103
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,830
Jeff Nelson isn't that good.
We can beat them.
104
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,033
"We? We?"
What are you talking about, "We?"
105
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:08,794
You didn't even make the team.
106
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,838
Sheila, I wanna go over
these debate notes.
107
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,594
Good idea.
108
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,071
Look, I think the harder we hit
the drug issue, the better.
109
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,710
I mean, it's headline stuff
every day now.
110
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,150
You can't go wrong.
111
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,399
Well, I wanna drop that bombshell
on Nelson tonight.
112
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,552
I thought you wanted
to save that one for a while.
113
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,473
Well, no, I think it's good timing
right now.
114
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,758
Because, look,
it got Ginsburg out in nothing flat.
115
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,750
How are you doing today?
There's seats right there for you.
116
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,993
How are you doing? Nice to see you
here. Follow these guys here.
117
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,994
- You're Richie Osbourne, aren't you?
- Yeah, what of it?
118
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,550
I'm Jeff Nelson.
I'm Pete Nelson's son.
119
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,115
Yeah, I know who you are.
120
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,791
- Hey, you go to Taft, don't you?
- Yeah.
121
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,640
- We play you guys Saturday.
- So what?
122
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,673
- That was Jeff Nelson?
- You know it was, Mom.
123
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,555
His picture's only in the paper
every other day.
124
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,235
We can't escape it.
It's in the news every day.
125
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,518
And both of you know
what I'm talking about.
126
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,480
What are you gonna do about the drug
problem in our city, Mr. Osbourne?
127
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,519
Warren, as district attorney
of this city for the last four years,
128
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,719
I've prosecuted more drug offenders
than anyone in the whole state.
129
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,351
Now, unlike my opponent,
I wholeheartedly endorse
130
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,752
the new procedures given to us
by the court and the police
131
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,232
to deal with the scum
who would poison our children.
132
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,752
Zero tolerance.
133
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,671
Searching trash, hot pursuit,
looking through school lockers.
134
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,230
I mean, finally,
we're getting the tools
135
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:52,270
to bring those who deal with drugs
to their knees.
136
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,230
Mr. Nelson.
137
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,711
There is no more pressing problem
in our society today than drug abuse.
138
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,590
When our children aren't safe from
drugs even in our elementary schools,
139
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,395
then it's time for drastic action.
140
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,111
But it's my opinion that action should
centre on education and interdiction,
141
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,000
not the hysterical tramplings
of our constitutional rights
142
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,799
as favoured by Mr. Osbourne.
143
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,030
Drug dealers have no rights.
144
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,630
That's the kind of demagogic rhetoric
that confuses the issue.
145
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,351
All American citizens have rights
until proven guilty of a crime.
146
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,991
That's what this country has fought
147
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,870
But what kind of message
are we sending our young people
148
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,634
when our own government
makes deals
149
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,872
with drug dealers
and foreign governments
150
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,232
while taking away the constitutional
rights of its own citizens?
151
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,069
That's exactly the kind of remark
152
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,471
I'd expect to hear
from a former drug user.
153
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,800
How did they get that?
154
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,872
Those are pretty serious charges,
Mr. Osbourne.
155
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,759
I don't make charges I can't back up.
156
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,914
I believe Mr. Osbourne
is alluding to a period
157
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,879
twenty years ago,
when I was in college.
158
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,793
If it weren't for people like you
in the '60s,
159
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,271
we wouldn't have
any drug addicts in the '80s.
160
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:03,951
I admit I smoked marijuana
when I was in Berkeley.
161
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,351
We all do things when we're young
that we aren't proud of.
162
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,274
If we didn't make mistakes,
we'd never learn.
163
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,838
I've tried to teach my own son
about the horror of drugs
164
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,391
including this nation's
most vicious killer, alcohol.
165
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,791
When you give your body
and your mind over to a chemical,
166
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,311
nothing good can happen.
167
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:28,310
And I promise you that drug dealers
and drug users will be prosecuted
168
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,671
just as vigorously
under a Nelson administration
169
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,792
as they would be
under my opponent's.
170
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,590
I'd also like to add
that if the DA's office wasn't so busy
171
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,031
rummaging through people's
172
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,313
they'd know that I worked for six years
in the Oakland Police Department
173
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:43,835
in the Narcotics Division.
174
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:48,799
My office is interested in truth
and justice, not excuses.
175
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,520
When it comes
to getting tough on crime,
176
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,114
you don't sound very much
like a cop.
177
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,680
Maybe that's why
you became a lawyer,
178
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,673
because you're interested
in defending criminals
179
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,713
instead of arresting them.
180
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,671
That's okay. That's okay.
181
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,590
- Good morning.
- Good morning, honey.
182
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,879
- Your breakfast is on the table.
- Thank you.
183
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,038
Well, you ready
for the Taft game, son?
184
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,034
We better be.
The city championship's on the line.
185
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,671
I hope that little dust-up with Osbourne
on the marijuana issue last night
186
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,952
doesn't get a lot of tongues
wagging at school.
187
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,550
Most of the kids are pretty cool
about things like that, Dad.
188
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,440
You're still gonna get some flack,
you know that.
189
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,553
I can handle it.
190
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,952
Not easy
being in the public eye, is it?
191
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,393
- Dad, I said I can handle it.
- All right.
192
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,474
I gotta go. I don't wanna miss
geography class.
193
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,112
You mean you don't wanna miss
Tracy Clark before geography class.
194
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,671
Dad, when you're right, you're right.
195
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,917
- Bye, Mom.
- Bye.
196
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,871
I didn't want Jeff to see this.
197
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,355
"U.S. Attorney indicts financier.
198
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:14,119
Bill Steelgrave is accused
of insider trading and tax fraud.
199
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:19,435
Steelgrave, father-in-law
of mayoral candidate Pete Nelson,
200
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:22,991
will be indicted
in federal court next week."
201
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,199
Oh, God, now they're attacking
your father.
202
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,790
Welcome to the wonderful world
of politics.
203
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,474
Thanks.
204
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,518
There you go, Richie,
just like you like them.
205
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,670
Cut it. Is that good for you?
206
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,274
All right, that was fine.
207
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,034
Now we're gonna do
that walking shot.
208
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,560
Come on. Richie.
209
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,678
Come on, Richie, let's move it.
210
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,433
There we go, all right.
211
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,710
- One big happy family.
- Shut up.
212
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,872
- Stand up straight.
- I am.
213
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,430
Okay, dolly, zoom,
we're gonna keep it tight three.
214
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,752
Okay? We're all set.
215
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,912
Okay, now I want you
to start walking toward me.
216
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,152
Big smiles.
217
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,879
That's it.
218
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,072
How can the voters
resist this family?
219
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,951
And cut it.
220
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,310
We'll go one more time.
221
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,950
Okay, this time, I don't want you
to follow him the whole way.
222
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,032
Don't pan with him.
Let him walk up, okay?
223
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,553
Richard, these are the latest
tracking polls.
224
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,951
- These are the latest?
- Yeah, they're the overnights.
225
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,551
You're still 10 points behind Nelson.
Twenty points with women.
226
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,154
The only group you're leading with
is white males over 50.
227
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,830
Well, these can't be right.
Nelson is an admitted drug user.
228
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,753
And his father-in-law is a crook.
229
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,834
Yeah, I can't figure it either,
but the numbers don't lie.
230
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,992
People must like him.
231
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,550
Or they don't like me.
Look at all these negatives.
232
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,110
They'd like you, Dad,
if you gave them a chance.
233
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,479
If you spent some more time
talking to them, like Nelson does.
234
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,400
What, are you a political consultant?
235
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,432
You can't even get into college, but you
know how to run a campaign, huh?
236
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,712
He was just trying to help, Richard.
237
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,280
Yeah, well, I don't want his help.
238
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,751
He can't help himself,
so how can I expect him to help me?
239
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,520
Mr. Osbourne, we're losing the light.
240
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,310
Yeah, we're losing the light.
We're losing the damn election.
241
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,040
Come on, let's get this over with.
242
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,034
Hey, Richie, come on.
Come on, please.
243
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,871
I hate wearing tuxedos.
I feel like a penguin in a straitjacket.
244
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,960
You mean you feel auk-ward?
245
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,274
What's funny?
246
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,830
Auk-ward, auk. A-U-K.
247
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,032
An auk. An auk,
it's a type of penguin.
248
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,959
It's a joke.
249
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,677
Oh, that's funny.
250
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,750
These just came across the wire
on the city news service.
251
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,150
Look at those numbers.
252
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,433
We've got that weasel Osbourne
by the short hairs.
253
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,512
Come on, you know I don't trust polls,
Phil.
254
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,111
Maybe you don't,
but these folks sure do.
255
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,080
May I have your attention, folks?
256
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,951
May I have your attention, folks?
257
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,272
I'd like to announce the results
of the latest mayoralty tracking poll
258
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,591
taken over the past 24 hours.
259
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,634
Pete Nelson, 53 percent.
260
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,874
Richard Osbourne, 42 percent
with 5 percent undecided.
261
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,630
- We got them now.
- Hey, don't be so sure.
262
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:17,791
Remember Thomas Dewey
263
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,032
would've been
the 33rd President of the United States
264
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:21,634
if candidates were elected by polls.
265
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,190
Come on, Jonathan,
don't be such a killjoy.
266
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,040
I'll tell you what, you don't
remind me of Thomas Dewey
267
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,069
and I won't remind you
of your auk-ward joke.
268
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,119
As I told you
at the start of the evening,
269
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,511
we're gonna keep
the speeches brief.
270
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,719
Thank you.
271
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,149
And to lead off the evening,
I'd like to introduce a young man
272
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,030
who I am sure knows Pete Nelson
better than any other man in this room.
273
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,471
He's a well-known gentleman
in his own right.
274
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,832
He's an honour student,
an All CityTight End
275
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,952
and a son to make any father proud.
276
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,232
Jeff Nelson.
277
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,909
Thank you. Thank you very much.
278
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,910
When my father asked me
to introduce him here this evening.
279
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,590
I was, well, I was very proud,
280
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,671
because, well, it gives me a chance
to be his son.
281
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,192
You know, when I was younger,
my father worked as a policeman.
282
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,790
And at night,
he'd go to school to study law.
283
00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:30,954
Now, that's not an easy task.
284
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,712
You know, but somehow,
he always found time for his family.
285
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,311
For Mom and for me.
286
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,240
He coached me in T-ball,
and then Pop Warner.
287
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:42,914
He loved sports.
288
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,311
But he always made sure
I kept them in perspective.
289
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,915
Made sure my education came first.
290
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,311
He taught me to love reading.
291
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,640
And he showed me how hard work
can give a person a sense of pride.
292
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,752
He taught me how to be a man.
293
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,830
Oh, he was rough on me
when he had to. Trust me.
294
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,150
He doesn't abide telling lies.
295
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,909
Mistakes he can understand,
but lies he won't put up with.
296
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,039
But I'll tell you one thing,
297
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,511
he was always gentle with me
when I was hurt.
298
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,793
I know this kind of thing
embarrasses you, Dad,
299
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,600
but it's your fault
for asking me to introduce you.
300
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,235
Ladies and gentlemen,
I give you the next mayor
301
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,759
and the best father
any kid could ever have, Pete Nelson.
302
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,439
- Jeff.
- Hey, morning, Mr. Lee.
303
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,070
I received a disturbing phone call
this morning.
304
00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:34,272
A boy who said he was a student
here at Kennedy,
305
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,631
but who wouldn't give me his name,
306
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,031
told me you were selling marijuana
here at school.
307
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,350
What?
308
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,671
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to
search your locker, Jeff.
309
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,030
You're gonna search my locker
310
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,794
because of some
anonymous phone call?
311
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,111
That's right, son. I'm sorry.
312
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,672
I'll open it for you.
313
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,470
You know, I know as a parent
the pride a father has in his children.
314
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:36,590
I mean, my own son, Richie, is a
senior in high school like Jeff Nelson.
315
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,550
And my first reaction was,
there but for the grace of God go I.
316
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,840
Come on, turn the television off.
I don't wanna watch this hypocrite.
317
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,390
I also know as a parent
you have to talk to them.
318
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,310
You have to try to understand them.
319
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,550
I ask for one favour, one lousy favour,
turn off the television.
320
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,712
Mark, you were closer to the set
than I was.
321
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,920
This lousy motel
doesn't have remote control, you do.
322
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,274
I'm sorry, Jon.
323
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,911
This whole thing with Pete and Jeff
and the campaign.
324
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,313
I mean,
Pete would make a great mayor.
325
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,314
And I know Jeff
wasn't selling drugs in his school.
326
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,870
That kid hasn't touched
anything stronger than wheat germ.
327
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,712
Well, you're right about that.
It wasn't his.
328
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,350
I mean, all you gotta do
is look at him--
329
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,112
- It wasn't?
- No.
330
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,632
You know that for a fact?
Of course you know that for a fact.
331
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,759
Who was it? Who planted the stuff?
It was Osbourne, wasn't it?
332
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,395
- I can't tell you who it was.
- What do you mean you can't tell me?
333
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,393
You don't tell me
then Pete loses the election.
334
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,233
Not to mention
what's gonna happen to Jeff.
335
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,312
I can't tell you who it was
because I don't know.
336
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,233
Even if I did know,
we couldn't prove it.
337
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,440
Kid's innocent, he's being crucified.
We've gotta do something.
338
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,639
Now, it was Osbourne. You know
it was Osbourne, and I know it.
339
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,190
Now, I'm gonna do something
to prove that.
340
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,073
- Bye.
- Bye.
341
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,072
That was great.
342
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,351
Martha, let's get going.
343
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,639
There's no way we can keep
our heads in the sand any longer.
344
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,634
Working mothers make up more
and more of today's work force,
345
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,271
yet our city has only three
daycare centres in operation.
346
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,474
That's not only bad government,
it's bad politics.
347
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,072
- Pete. Pete.
- Excuse me.
348
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,311
- What is it?
- Daddy's in the hospital.
349
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,991
It's his heart again. Jeff went straight
over there. Can you come now?
350
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,350
I'm sorry, something's come up.
351
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,479
Family matter.
I have to go to the hospital.
352
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,240
Now you get that look off your face.
353
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,678
It'll take more than a little palpitation of
the ticker for me to cash in my chips.
354
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,913
- You got us worried, though.
- Well, stop worrying.
355
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,755
I'm not gonna kick off
until my name is cleared.
356
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,720
I'm not paying those lawyers
all that money
357
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,599
just to miss my day in court.
358
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,991
You wouldn't be in court
if it wasn't for me.
359
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,278
Dad, Pete's thinking about
giving up the race.
360
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:58,033
He what? Is that true?
361
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,159
We've talked about it.
362
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,392
Last couple of days
have been rough on everyone.
363
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:08,752
Rough, maybe.
Nobody ever said politics was easy.
364
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,791
I remember once,
reading about an English MP.
365
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,912
His name was Burke.
366
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,755
- Edmund Burke.
- Grandpa.
367
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,598
Edmund Burke was Irish
and he lived in the 17th century.
368
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,432
Irish, of course.
369
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,672
I'm glad to se that our schools
are teaching something
370
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,240
other than computer Ping-Pong.
371
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,231
Anyway, this Burke was a member
372
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,035
of one of the most corrupt
British Parliaments.
373
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:41,150
So bad that many of the best men
would have nothing to do with politics.
374
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,518
And one day, his countrymen
were complaining to him
375
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,752
about the sorry state
of the parliament
376
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,880
and how the king was driving
their country to ruin.
377
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,639
Well, old Burke fixed these fellows
with a hard stare and said:
378
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:01,231
"For evil to triumph,
good men must do nothing."
379
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,830
Seems to me those words
mean as much today as they did then.
380
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:09,190
What do you think?
381
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,272
Maybe even more.
382
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,152
What are you doing?
383
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:16,954
Nothing.
384
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,793
Yes, you are. What are you doing?
385
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,313
I'm not doing anything.
386
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,075
Why don't you go ride your bike?
387
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,111
I know what you're doing.
You're looking for food.
388
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,350
Yeah, right.
389
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:31,715
You're a bum, aren't you?
390
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,677
No, I am not a bum.
Now why don't you go ride your trike?
391
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,110
If you're not a bum,
then why are you looking for food?
392
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,480
Look, I am not looking for food
and I am not a bum.
393
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,112
All right. All right.
394
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,831
You look like a bum.
395
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,234
Excuse me.
396
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,040
I'm looking for some rolling papers.
397
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,199
A friend of mine
said I could buy them here.
398
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,830
Sure, you can buy them here.
399
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,119
How many do you want?
400
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:29,670
One'll be fine.
401
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,872
I also need some tobacco.
402
00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:33,474
We only sell pipe tobacco.
403
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,592
You sell cigarette rolling papers,
but you don't sell cigarette tobacco?
404
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,350
Right.
405
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,950
There's no law against it.
All the stores do it.
406
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,038
Everybody knows
what the papers are for.
407
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,799
- It'll be 66 cents.
- You sell a lot of these?
408
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,799
Look, what's your game, mister?
You some kind of cop?
409
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,631
Actually, I'm a private investigator.
410
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,195
- You're a PI?
- Yeah.
411
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,229
I need some information
on this market sales slip.
412
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,312
- It's from two days ago.
- I know.
413
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,279
We got a magazine,
bag of potato chips,
414
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:07,874
packet of cigarette papers.
415
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:11,192
Hey, cigarette papers.
This guy smokes doobie too.
416
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,871
It says, "Charge," there on the slip,
but it doesn't say who charged it.
417
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,119
Well, I wasn't here two days ago,
but it'd be easy to find out.
418
00:28:19,360 --> 00:28:20,999
All our charge customers
have these numbers.
419
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,550
All I'd have to do would be to...
420
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,113
Look it up.
421
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:35,511
And tell you this customer's name
is Osbourne.
422
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,592
4419 Loma Linda Drive.
423
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:39,991
Thanks.
424
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,432
Hey, mister,
you forgot to pay for the papers.
425
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,439
I don't smoke.
426
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,709
This slip proves that somebody
in the Osbourne family,
427
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,714
probably Richie, bought a pack
of cigarette rolling papers
428
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:02,555
the day before Jeff was framed.
429
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,270
Where did you get this slip, Mark?
430
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,633
Where did you get it?
431
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,034
Osbourne trash.
432
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,430
I had a hunch about Osbourne.
433
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,791
Only way I could prove it
was to go through his trash.
434
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,679
With Osbourne's account number
on that slip,
435
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,719
all we have to do is point the reporters
in the right direction.
436
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,030
They'll find enough witnesses.
437
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,112
Are you sure, Mark,
this is Osbourne's?
438
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,710
The clerk wouldn't lie.
Not for 40 bucks.
439
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,392
You mean, you bribed someone
for this information?
440
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:29,960
Give him a break, Pete.
441
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,431
He saved your kid's reputation,
not to mention the election.
442
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,154
What more do you want?
443
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,153
I can't wait to see the look
on Osbourne's face
444
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,198
when he finds out
we searched his trash.
445
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,999
Hoisted on his own petard.
446
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,919
I just can't believe Osbourne
would do something like this.
447
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,640
We have to give him a chance
to explain.
448
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:46,950
Explain?
449
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,590
His kid didn't think this scheme up
on his own.
450
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,200
I don't have to tell you, Pete,
451
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,194
if Osbourne had this on you,
he'd go straight to the press.
452
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,070
And I don't have to tell you,
I'm not Richard Osbourne.
453
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,394
Yeah. Yeah.
454
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,309
Yeah.
455
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,712
Sheila, you know,
that's a swing of over 20 points.
456
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,873
No, no, I'll play it very low-key
at the debate tonight.
457
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,031
Yes.
458
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,199
One father understanding
the pain of another.
459
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,231
Don't worry.
460
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,399
You know, I didn't just come to town
on a load of hay.
461
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,555
Sheila, we're in, you know that?
462
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,598
I'll see you tonight.
463
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,032
We're ready and the car's waiting.
464
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,512
Oh, that was Sheila,
just got the results of the latest poll.
465
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,951
Nelson is down by ten
and I'm up by 11.
466
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,913
So what do you think of that,
Mrs. Mayor?
467
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:36,954
It's wonderful.
468
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,634
That Nelson kid, I could kiss him,
469
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,553
that big speech he made
about his old man.
470
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:41,870
Well, he buried him.
471
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,191
I can't wait to get to that debate
tonight.
472
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,000
And you, you gotta stand up straight,
you gotta watch your posture.
473
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,640
You'll be the son of the next mayor.
474
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,473
Let's go.
475
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,192
Of course he's gonna win.
You've seen the polls.
476
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,110
No, no, we won't forget.
477
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,119
I will. I'll tell him.
478
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,431
Okay, bye.
479
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,511
Richie, get that, please.
480
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,471
Richie, I'd like to have a word
with your father if I could.
481
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,191
You work for Nelson, don't you?
What do you want?
482
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,880
Yeah, my name's Jonathan Smith.
483
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,270
Mr. Nelson asked me to come over
484
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,711
and try to arrange a meeting
with you tonight, privately,
485
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,235
before the debate.
486
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,279
He wants to see me now?
What about?
487
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:38,630
He's dropping out, right?
488
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,353
All I know is it's a private matter.
489
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,472
Anything that he wants to say
in front of me,
490
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,633
he can say in front of my family,
so if he's so anxious to see me,
491
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,280
you tell him to come here himself.
492
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,240
I'll tell him.
493
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,518
It's over, I guarantee it.
494
00:31:58,760 --> 00:31:59,989
He knows it, he knows it.
495
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,914
He just wants to avoid that debate
because he knows it's a done deal.
496
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,471
Sheila, chill up the champagne.
497
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:14,270
Come on in.
498
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,030
Hi, Pete, what's on your mind?
499
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,200
This isn't easy for me, Richard.
500
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,278
Well, I'm sure it's not.
501
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,510
My campaign has found evidence
that leads us to conclude
502
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,271
that your son Richie
planted the marijuana and papers
503
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,472
in Jeff's locker.
504
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,790
Well, I know you're desperate,
but that's absurd.
505
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:51,278
This is a photocopy of a market receipt
charged to your account.
506
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,035
One of the items
is a pack of cigarette papers
507
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,192
like those found in Jeff's locker.
508
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,591
What do you mean, a photocopy?
509
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,400
How did you get my market receipt?
510
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,838
I'm afraid you can blame me for that.
I went through your trash.
511
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,720
You had your people
go into my trash?
512
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,714
You?
The protector of the Constitution?
513
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,394
You know,
I should sue you for slander.
514
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:24,112
You know, accusing me and my family
for setting up your drugged-out kid.
515
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,471
Why don't you ask your son
if he bought those papers?
516
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,198
I don't have to.
517
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,639
Richie?
518
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,680
The clerk will be able to identify you,
son. There's no use lying about it.
519
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,559
Richie?
520
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,033
Richie?
521
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,280
It's true. I planted the stuff.
522
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,193
I'll be happy
to let you speak first, Richard,
523
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,113
if you wanna clear the air.
524
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,955
But I have to warn you, if you don't say
anything about this matter,
525
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,837
I'll be forced to talk about it.
526
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,471
Not to hurt Richie,
but to redeem my own son's name.
527
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,120
I swear
I didn't know anything about this, Pete.
528
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,720
Yeah, I believe you.
529
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,520
Well, what we need now
is some serious damage control.
530
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,959
No, Sheila, what we need now
is for our family to talk, alone.
531
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,591
- We have a debate starting in a few--
- Get out.
532
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,440
Do you know what you've done?
Do you?
533
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,239
Do you know what you've done?
534
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:00,550
- I'm sorry.
- You're sorry.
535
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,194
You hear that, Liz? He's sorry.
536
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:03,510
He's cost me the election.
537
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,240
Why did you do it, Richie?
538
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,631
Why did he do it?
Because he's stupid, that's why.
539
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,639
It doesn't make any difference,
it's over.
540
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,951
Let him answer.
541
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:13,590
Why, Richie?
542
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,554
I wanted to do something
to help Dad.
543
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,792
Help me? Oh, help me.
544
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,554
Let him finish.
545
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,351
You were always making
such a big deal over Nelson's kid.
546
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,953
I knew you wished
you had a son like that.
547
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,991
And I hated him, because I knew.
548
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,073
So I did it.
549
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:51,312
So you'd win and wouldn't wanna
have a son like him.
550
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,592
I love you, Dad.
551
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:11,952
I'm sorry.
552
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:13,870
Please forgive me.
553
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,032
No, get away from me.
554
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,752
Richie.
555
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,153
Richie.
556
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,118
Even now, with your own son
begging for your love and mercy,
557
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,192
you can't stop being the candidate.
558
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,711
The hell with your son.
The election's the important thing.
559
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,360
What he did was wrong.
It was stupid.
560
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,114
Are you trying to justify it?
561
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,400
What Richie did he did out of pain.
Out of hurt.
562
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,360
He was desperate and tried to help
his father the only way he knew how.
563
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,751
Political hardball is what you'd call it.
564
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,271
Negative campaigning
taken to its logical conclusion
565
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,950
by a 17-year-old boy.
566
00:36:53,240 --> 00:36:55,232
You seed an investigation
into Nelson's father-in-law.
567
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:56,880
Richie plants seeds
on Nelson's son.
568
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:58,110
There's a difference, Liz.
569
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,192
Maybe in degree, not in kind.
570
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,920
This conversation
is getting us nowhere.
571
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,391
I've got five minutes
to try to salvage my political career.
572
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,310
Your career. Always your career.
573
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,634
For 20 years, I have listened
to you moralizing and speechifying
574
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,190
about justice and truth.
575
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:20,390
You know, the funny part is,
a part of me really believed that.
576
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:30,960
I should have known
577
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,351
why all these years,
you never had any time for your son.
578
00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:39,471
He wasn't old enough to vote.
579
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,754
Welcome to the final
League of Women Voters' Debate
580
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,310
for this year's mayoral race.
581
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,353
Now, by mutual agreement,
582
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,160
Richard Osbourne
will be speaking first,
583
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,800
and then Pete Nelson.
584
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,272
Ladies and gentlemen,
District Attorney Richard Osbourne.
585
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:16,911
Warren.
586
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,760
Ladies and gentlemen, before I make
my introductory remarks,
587
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,959
I would like to relay some information
that I received
588
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,874
shortly before I came
on stage tonight.
589
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:27,914
I'm sure you're all aware of the fact
590
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,550
that my opponent's son
was suspended from school last week.
591
00:38:31,720 --> 00:38:34,280
Marijuana was found in his locker.
592
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,992
I have just been told
by my son, Richie,
593
00:38:39,240 --> 00:38:43,120
that Jeff Nelson was the victim
of a cruel prank.
594
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:50,392
A prank that I sadly report
was perpetrated by my son.
595
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:01,232
I would like to take this opportunity
to apologise to my friend, Pete,
596
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,991
to his lovely wife, Ann,
and to his son.
597
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:12,950
I knew nothing of Richie's action,
and as difficult as it is for me,
598
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,792
I would just like to say
I take heart in the fact
599
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,350
that when we make a mistake,
we can learn from it.
600
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:23,432
I know that Richie
has already learned a great deal
601
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,351
from his error in judgement.
602
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:33,710
An error of a son trying to help
his father win an election.
603
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,909
But I know that I've learned
a great deal.
604
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,631
I have learned
that a father can only do his best,
605
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,440
that both of us,
both parent and child,
606
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,752
must be assume responsibility
for our deeds.
607
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:54,552
Now, I will stand by Richie,
as I've always done,
608
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,191
but I will not shield him
from his guilt.
609
00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:00,234
A guilt that is his alone.
610
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,312
You're the DA.
Why don't you prosecute him?
611
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,119
Think how good that'd look
in the press.
612
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,750
"DA shows no favouritism,
convicts own son."
613
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,112
That should be worth ten points
in the election polls.
614
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,151
Obviously, my wife
is very distraught by this affair.
615
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,272
I'm sure you understand that.
616
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,075
Ladies and gentlemen, Pete Nelson.
617
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:49,472
Before I came here tonight,
I had a speech all prepared.
618
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:57,074
It was about the future of our city
and my role in that future.
619
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,991
But then listening to Richard,
I began to wonder
620
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,273
if the important thing
about this election,
621
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:10,549
indeed, all elections, isn't what
the politician can do for the citizen,
622
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,191
but what the citizen should do
for himself and his community.
623
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:16,879
Travelling our city
the past few months,
624
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,112
I haven't seen a lot of hope.
625
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,354
I've seen fear, I've seen cynicism
and I've seen apathy.
626
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,438
People ask why our country
has lost it's competitive edge.
627
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,151
Why its citizens
have lost their pride.
628
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:37,151
It's because politicians like myself
ask for your vote
629
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,518
by telling you
that everything will be all right.
630
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,750
By giving you the good news,
but not the bad.
631
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,040
By placating you, the voter,
not challenging you.
632
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,032
Every day,
I'm flooded with polling information
633
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,590
telling me what to do
to boost my numbers
634
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,360
with black women or white men.
635
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,193
That's my son-in-law.
636
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,433
Everything about politics today
is to appease and appeal
637
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,273
to the various voting groups.
638
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,830
Tell them what they wanna hear,
not what they need to hear.
639
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:08,560
Give it to us, Pete.
640
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,110
If this country is about freedom
and equality,
641
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,671
why do we have black polls
and white polls
642
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,429
and women's polls and age polls
and income polls?
643
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,000
What's he doing?
644
00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:20,118
He's being a leader
instead of a politician.
645
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,591
Is that how you bring people together?
By separating them?
646
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:23,950
Well, I don't think so.
647
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,669
But campaign managers tell you
that you need the information
648
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:31,073
in order to know what promises
to make the different voting groups.
649
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,631
And that's how you win.
And winning is everything.
650
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,913
And don't worry about those promises
once you're elected,
651
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,514
because you don't
have to keep them.
652
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,352
The people are so used
to broken promises,
653
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,353
they don't care anymore.
654
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,919
Politics has become a game
packaged by Madison Avenue.
655
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,391
You wanna appeal to men,
they film you throwing a football.
656
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,597
You wanna appeal to women,
you kiss the babies.
657
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,160
And whatever you do, don't sweat.
658
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,869
Because sweating
is the kiss of death on television.
659
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,352
Well, I'm here to warn you
that if I'm elected mayor of this city,
660
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:01,551
I'm going to sweat,
661
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,629
because it's a tough job,
and you're gonna have to sweat too.
662
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,032
Because having a city
that you can be proud of is a tough job.
663
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,312
And in order to get that job done,
664
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,195
we're gonna have
to work together as a team
665
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,591
and stop thinking about ourselves.
666
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,113
I dream of a city with pride,
667
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,120
where people care about each other.
668
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,319
Not just with words,
but with actions.
669
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:30,839
We have to help the poor.
670
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:32,992
We have to educate our children.
671
00:43:33,240 --> 00:43:36,039
We have to clean up
our environment.
672
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,594
And we have to make our streets
safe again for all our people.
673
00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:43,232
But I can't promise you
all those things,
674
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,591
although my campaign manager
would like me to,
675
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,030
because it's not up to me.
676
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:48,959
It's up to us.
677
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,795
This is our city, this is our country.
678
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:56,353
And what happens to it
is up to all of us.
679
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,633
Thank you.
680
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,040
Heck of a speech he made tonight,
wasn't it?
681
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,352
Yeah, it sure was.
682
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,192
Think it could ever happen?
683
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:42,551
What?
684
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,675
You know, like what he was saying,
you know, people working together,
685
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,674
helping each other
to make this city, this country,
686
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,912
the kind of place it should be.
687
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,231
You think that could ever be?
688
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,073
I don't know.
689
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,154
It's like Pete said, it's up to all of us.
690
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,519
Yeah.
691
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,313
Hey, what are you doing
throwing your trash in the street?
692
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,074
Big deal. What do you care?
693
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,831
I care about you trashing up
this city.
694
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,192
That's what we got street cleaners for,
stupid.
