Who are the real-world Illuminati ?

2
00:00:57,475 --> 00:00:59,602
Lobbying is about foresight.
3
00:01:01,729 --> 00:01:04,065
About anticipating
your opponent's moves
4
00:01:05,107 --> 00:01:07,193
and devising countermeasures.
5
00:01:10,279 --> 00:01:13,657
The winner plots one step
ahead of the opposition,
6
00:01:15,409 --> 00:01:16,869
and plays her trump card
7
00:01:18,496 --> 00:01:20,456
just after they play theirs.
8
00:01:22,833 --> 00:01:24,085
You better not be saying that
9
00:01:24,168 --> 00:01:25,336
when you're in there.
10
00:01:26,045 --> 00:01:27,880
It's about making sure
you surprise them,
11
00:01:30,299 --> 00:01:32,426
and they don't surprise you.
12
00:01:39,183 --> 00:01:40,518
13
00:01:41,602 --> 00:01:42,895
I'm gonna ask you again.
14
00:01:43,229 --> 00:01:44,230
Miss Sloane, could you please
15
00:01:44,313 --> 00:01:45,731
describe the nature
of your work?
16
00:01:51,737 --> 00:01:53,030
On the advice of counsel,
17
00:01:53,114 --> 00:01:54,824
I respectfully decline
to answer your question,
18
00:01:54,907 --> 00:01:56,742
based on my rights
under the Fifth Amendment
19
00:01:56,826 --> 00:01:57,827
to the United States Constitution.
20
00:02:00,371 --> 00:02:01,580
Those words,
21
00:02:02,748 --> 00:02:04,500
when you're not taking the
oath or confirming details,
22
00:02:04,583 --> 00:02:06,669
those words, in that order,
are all you're gonna say.
23
00:02:11,715 --> 00:02:14,009
"On average, would you say
you bribed public officials
24
00:02:14,093 --> 00:02:15,302
"more or less
than once a month?"
25
00:02:15,928 --> 00:02:18,722
Upon the advice of counsel...
Can I deviate slightly?
26
00:02:18,806 --> 00:02:20,057
"On the advice of counsel"?
On the advice
27
00:02:20,766 --> 00:02:21,767
- "of my attorney"?
- You do not...
28
00:02:21,851 --> 00:02:23,936
Okay, okay, I understand
that last one's
29
00:02:24,019 --> 00:02:25,187
too adventurous for you.
30
00:02:28,482 --> 00:02:29,900
This would be
a whole lot easier
31
00:02:30,234 --> 00:02:31,652
if I could just shout "Fifth."
32
00:02:32,194 --> 00:02:33,362
They want you behind bars.
33
00:02:34,655 --> 00:02:35,698
You make one statement,
34
00:02:35,781 --> 00:02:37,324
you correct one
nefarious allegation,
35
00:02:37,408 --> 00:02:38,868
that's it.
36
00:02:38,951 --> 00:02:40,202
You waive your right
to the Fifth
37
00:02:40,286 --> 00:02:41,537
and you're compelled
to answer everything.
38
00:02:43,205 --> 00:02:44,331
They're taking you
to the woodshed
39
00:02:44,415 --> 00:02:45,416
in front of
the national press.
40
00:02:46,292 --> 00:02:47,835
They're gonna rile you so bad
41
00:02:48,085 --> 00:02:50,129
they'd make Gandhi wanna
cut their tongues out.
42
00:02:52,965 --> 00:02:54,049
"Did you arrange for
benefits such as travel,
43
00:02:54,675 --> 00:02:55,759
"luxury accommodations,
44
00:02:55,843 --> 00:02:57,136
"and sports tickets
to be furnished
45
00:02:57,219 --> 00:02:58,304
"to members of Congress
46
00:02:58,387 --> 00:02:59,763
"at the behest
of your clients?"
47
00:03:03,267 --> 00:03:04,935
"Did you arrange for benefits
such as travel,
48
00:03:05,019 --> 00:03:07,271
"luxury accommodations,
and sports tickets to..."
49
00:03:07,354 --> 00:03:08,564
Daniel. When I take the stand,
50
00:03:08,647 --> 00:03:10,149
you'll see nothing
but a granite wall.
51
00:03:12,234 --> 00:03:13,402
Good.
52
00:03:13,777 --> 00:03:14,987
53
00:03:33,380 --> 00:03:34,673
Miss Sloane!
54
00:03:34,757 --> 00:03:36,091
55
00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:38,761
56
00:03:38,844 --> 00:03:40,930
Nothing to say, guys,
thank you.
57
00:03:43,766 --> 00:03:45,309
58
00:03:54,109 --> 00:03:55,778
Miss Sloane, Miss Sloane!
59
00:04:00,824 --> 00:04:02,201
This is tight.
60
00:04:03,035 --> 00:04:05,037
You'd think they would choose
a more appropriate venue.
61
00:04:05,788 --> 00:04:07,915
Well, turns out the Nationals
had a home game.
62
00:04:15,839 --> 00:04:16,966
Good morning.
63
00:04:17,049 --> 00:04:19,260
I am Senator Ronald Sperling,
64
00:04:19,343 --> 00:04:21,637
Chair of this Hearing.
Miss Sloane...
65
00:04:28,185 --> 00:04:29,645
Please raise your right hand.
66
00:04:31,355 --> 00:04:33,482
Do you solemnly swear
that you will tell the truth,
67
00:04:33,565 --> 00:04:35,109
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,
68
00:04:35,192 --> 00:04:37,486
under pains and penalties
of perjury?
69
00:04:37,569 --> 00:04:39,113
- I do.
- Please, sit.
70
00:04:40,906 --> 00:04:42,992
Will the witness please
state her full name
71
00:04:43,075 --> 00:04:44,326
for the record?
72
00:04:44,410 --> 00:04:45,786
Madeline Elizabeth Sloane.
73
00:04:45,869 --> 00:04:47,037
Louder, please.
74
00:04:48,789 --> 00:04:50,666
Madeline Elizabeth Sloane.
75
00:04:50,874 --> 00:04:52,418
And could the witness
please confirm
76
00:04:52,501 --> 00:04:54,962
that these details
are accurate...
77
00:04:55,296 --> 00:04:56,463
Uh...
78
00:04:56,547 --> 00:05:00,342
Date of birth,
July 26, 1976, address...
79
00:05:00,926 --> 00:05:02,094
Suite 504, Watergate South,
80
00:05:02,177 --> 00:05:04,388
700 New Hampshire Avenue
North West, Washington D.C.?
81
00:05:05,055 --> 00:05:06,098
Correct.
82
00:05:06,181 --> 00:05:11,061
You were employed by Cole,
Kravitz and Waterman LLP
83
00:05:11,312 --> 00:05:13,647
for a 10-year period
between 2006 and 2016,
84
00:05:13,731 --> 00:05:14,732
before moving on earlier...
85
00:05:14,815 --> 00:05:15,816
Eleven year period.
86
00:05:17,401 --> 00:05:18,444
Excuse me?
87
00:05:18,527 --> 00:05:21,530
There are 11 years
between 2006 and 2016.
88
00:05:26,493 --> 00:05:27,619
What was the nature
of your work
89
00:05:27,745 --> 00:05:29,997
with Cole, Kravitz
and Waterman LLP?
90
00:05:34,543 --> 00:05:35,669
Upon the advice of counsel,
91
00:05:35,753 --> 00:05:37,838
I must respectfully decline
to answer your question,
92
00:05:38,630 --> 00:05:40,299
based on my rights
under the Fifth Amendment
93
00:05:40,382 --> 00:05:42,092
to the United States Constitution.
94
00:05:42,676 --> 00:05:45,554
Did you,
October 12th of last year,
95
00:05:45,637 --> 00:05:47,639
accept as a client
the government
96
00:05:47,723 --> 00:05:49,975
of the Asian Republic
of Indonesia,
97
00:05:50,059 --> 00:05:51,769
for the purpose of
campaigning against
98
00:05:51,852 --> 00:05:54,229
the levy of additional
Federal duties
99
00:05:54,313 --> 00:05:57,608
on the importation of palm oil
into the United States?
100
00:05:59,526 --> 00:06:00,778
Upon the advice of counsel,
101
00:06:00,861 --> 00:06:03,238
I must respectfully decline
to answer your question,
102
00:06:03,322 --> 00:06:05,240
based on my rights
under the Fifth Amendment
103
00:06:05,491 --> 00:06:07,534
to the United States Constitution.
104
00:06:07,618 --> 00:06:08,744
105
00:06:11,997 --> 00:06:13,874
Today is a landmark day,
you know why?
106
00:06:13,957 --> 00:06:15,042
Because I'm free.
107
00:06:15,125 --> 00:06:16,377
Name one thing
you can do today
108
00:06:16,460 --> 00:06:17,628
that you couldn't have
done yesterday.
109
00:06:17,711 --> 00:06:18,712
Quit my job.
110
00:06:18,796 --> 00:06:19,838
You could've
done that yesterday,
111
00:06:19,922 --> 00:06:20,923
but it would've been stupid.
112
00:06:21,006 --> 00:06:22,841
- I can quit today and...
- It'd still be stupid.
113
00:06:22,925 --> 00:06:24,093
You clear your college debt
114
00:06:24,176 --> 00:06:25,886
and celebrate by
enrolling in post-grad?
115
00:06:27,137 --> 00:06:28,806
Academia's more my scene.
116
00:06:28,931 --> 00:06:30,182
You didn't follow me
into the crapper
117
00:06:30,265 --> 00:06:32,267
to gloat about freedom, Jane.
118
00:06:32,351 --> 00:06:34,770
Talk to me about
the Nutella Tax.
119
00:06:34,853 --> 00:06:36,772
Uh, we're really calling it
the "Nutella Tax"?
120
00:06:36,855 --> 00:06:38,607
Palm oil is a key ingredient
in Nutella.
121
00:06:39,066 --> 00:06:40,859
If the Federal Government
taxes it at 300%,
122
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,487
it'll cost more for us
to gorge ourselves on it.
123
00:06:44,113 --> 00:06:46,031
Isn't palm oil in
pretty much everything?
124
00:06:46,698 --> 00:06:48,075
We could have called it
the Soap Tax,
125
00:06:48,158 --> 00:06:49,326
but the public cares
more about Nutella
126
00:06:49,410 --> 00:06:50,411
than they do soap.
127
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,371
Anyway, we get
four more senators
128
00:06:52,454 --> 00:06:53,539
to come out against the bill,
129
00:06:53,622 --> 00:06:55,040
we can lean on Jacobs
to withdraw it.
130
00:06:55,124 --> 00:06:56,125
131
00:06:56,208 --> 00:06:57,376
What are you gonna do?
132
00:06:58,127 --> 00:07:00,337
Tell the Indonesians they're
going to host Senator Jacobs
133
00:07:00,421 --> 00:07:02,381
on a field trip to
one of their plantations.
134
00:07:02,464 --> 00:07:04,299
You never washed your hands.
135
00:07:06,093 --> 00:07:09,430
He'll take the wife and kids
on a tropical vacation.
136
00:07:09,513 --> 00:07:12,057
Come back hailing
their conservation efforts.
137
00:07:12,724 --> 00:07:14,560
His bill dies a quiet death.
138
00:07:14,643 --> 00:07:16,228
If the Indonesian
government pays for it,
139
00:07:16,311 --> 00:07:17,396
it's illegal.
140
00:07:17,479 --> 00:07:19,773
If they use a non-profit c3
to sponsor the travel,
141
00:07:19,857 --> 00:07:21,233
it's perfectly legal.
142
00:07:21,316 --> 00:07:23,193
As long as the trip
is for educational purposes.
143
00:07:23,402 --> 00:07:25,696
But, the Indonesian government
is still paying for it.
144
00:07:25,779 --> 00:07:28,157
See, this is why I'm thinking
about post-grad.
145
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,784
Jane, we go to school to
prepare us for the real world.
146
00:07:30,868 --> 00:07:32,369
I'm not sure
I like the real world.
147
00:07:32,453 --> 00:07:33,954
So you want to bury
your head in Socrates?
148
00:07:34,037 --> 00:07:36,874
You know that Socrates
never actually wrote anything.
149
00:07:37,791 --> 00:07:38,917
That's beside the point.
150
00:07:39,001 --> 00:07:40,502
If you don't like it,
you change it.
151
00:07:40,586 --> 00:07:42,629
- That's why you're here.
- Miss Sloane!
152
00:07:42,713 --> 00:07:44,381
They're ready for you
in the conference room.
153
00:07:44,465 --> 00:07:46,383
Hey, Spencer, did you know
that Americans care more
154
00:07:46,467 --> 00:07:48,594
about Nutella than
they do about soap?
155
00:07:50,179 --> 00:07:51,388
Uh, okay.
156
00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:53,056
See that?
157
00:07:53,474 --> 00:07:54,766
No reaction.
158
00:07:55,225 --> 00:07:56,727
Okay, guys, we gotta
be quick this morning,
159
00:07:56,810 --> 00:07:58,145
I've got a meeting to get to.
160
00:07:58,228 --> 00:08:00,147
How many are they
expecting at the IMF rally?
161
00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:01,440
Between 500 and 1,000.
162
00:08:01,523 --> 00:08:03,358
There's a margin of 100%?
163
00:08:03,442 --> 00:08:05,360
Does that technically mean
that nobody might show up?
164
00:08:05,444 --> 00:08:07,863
Five hundred's the minimum,
the rest depends on weather.
165
00:08:07,946 --> 00:08:09,865
Seems more people hate
banks when the sun's out.
166
00:08:09,948 --> 00:08:11,533
- What's the weather forecast?
- Liz?
167
00:08:11,617 --> 00:08:12,659
Time we sold Jacobs
on Indonesia.
168
00:08:12,743 --> 00:08:13,827
I know.
169
00:08:13,911 --> 00:08:16,455
- When Henry falls we've got...
- Critical mass, I'm aware.
170
00:08:16,538 --> 00:08:18,790
Get a non-profit
to sponsor a vacation.
171
00:08:18,874 --> 00:08:20,876
They give him face
and he'll pull it.
172
00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:23,045
Did you just come from
the ladies' room?
173
00:08:23,295 --> 00:08:24,880
Uh, I have no idea
what you're talking about.
174
00:08:25,047 --> 00:08:26,924
We're talking about
numbers at the IMF rally.
175
00:08:27,007 --> 00:08:29,051
All right, Alex,
put Metro Talent on notice,
176
00:08:29,134 --> 00:08:31,094
- we may need reinforcements.
- I'm on it.
177
00:08:31,178 --> 00:08:32,262
We're really gonna
use movie extras?
178
00:08:32,346 --> 00:08:33,722
The guy shouting about
corporate greed
179
00:08:33,805 --> 00:08:35,432
becomes a lot less
credible standing next
180
00:08:35,516 --> 00:08:37,059
to a hobo from central casting,
181
00:08:37,142 --> 00:08:39,520
with a banner that reads,
"Abolish money."
182
00:08:39,603 --> 00:08:40,771
"Shit is fucked up
183
00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:42,189
- "and bullshit."
184
00:08:42,564 --> 00:08:44,983
Best banner at Occupy.
Tell me that was one of ours.
185
00:08:45,067 --> 00:08:47,736
Oh, no, that was creative
way beyond my capabilities.
186
00:08:47,819 --> 00:08:50,781
- Franklin! Shmallow Cakes?
- Uh, yeah!
187
00:08:50,864 --> 00:08:52,324
Does sales tax apply
to cakes and cookies,
188
00:08:52,449 --> 00:08:53,450
or only to one of those?
189
00:08:54,660 --> 00:08:56,495
I don't know.
190
00:09:00,916 --> 00:09:01,959
You don't know?
191
00:09:03,502 --> 00:09:04,503
All right, everybody,
listen up!
192
00:09:04,586 --> 00:09:05,712
I'm going to tell you a story.
193
00:09:05,796 --> 00:09:06,838
Please, no.
194
00:09:06,922 --> 00:09:08,173
A priest is
giving a young nun
195
00:09:08,257 --> 00:09:09,633
a lift home from
church one day,
196
00:09:09,716 --> 00:09:11,301
and as he's shifting gears,
197
00:09:11,385 --> 00:09:13,971
he rests his hand
on the nun's knee.
198
00:09:14,471 --> 00:09:15,639
This is offensive
and inappropriate.
199
00:09:15,764 --> 00:09:16,932
The young nun looks up
at the priest and says,
200
00:09:17,307 --> 00:09:20,102
"Father, remember Luke 14:10."
201
00:09:20,978 --> 00:09:22,854
The priest withdraws his hand,
embarrassed.
202
00:09:23,105 --> 00:09:24,815
Next time
they stop at a light,
203
00:09:25,023 --> 00:09:27,568
he places his hand a little
higher up on her thigh,
204
00:09:27,651 --> 00:09:31,113
again the nun says,
"Remember Luke 14:10, Father."
205
00:09:31,697 --> 00:09:33,073
The priest apologizes.
206
00:09:33,156 --> 00:09:35,450
"The flesh is weak," he says.
207
00:09:35,659 --> 00:09:37,202
So he drops her off,
and when he gets home,
208
00:09:37,286 --> 00:09:40,914
he reaches for his bible
and he flips to Luke 14:10.
209
00:09:40,998 --> 00:09:42,541
Anyone know what it says? Hmm?
210
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:45,544
What does it say, Pat?
211
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:49,298
"Friend, come up higher,
then shalt thou have glory!"
212
00:09:49,381 --> 00:09:51,425
- Know your subject, people!
213
00:09:52,384 --> 00:09:53,844
Failure to do so may result
214
00:09:53,927 --> 00:09:55,470
in the loss of
a golden opportunity.
215
00:09:55,721 --> 00:09:57,264
When I see you this afternoon,
216
00:09:57,347 --> 00:09:58,348
you'd better be
ready to recite
217
00:09:58,432 --> 00:10:00,601
that tax code in Esperanto.
218
00:10:04,104 --> 00:10:07,691
I'm... I'm told I should
offer her my hand, huh?
219
00:10:08,734 --> 00:10:10,277
How do you mean?
220
00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:13,989
Well, when we meet,
I'm told that
221
00:10:14,072 --> 00:10:17,075
she doesn't care for
all that kissy-kissy stuff
222
00:10:17,159 --> 00:10:19,494
that most women do these days.
223
00:10:19,578 --> 00:10:21,913
You two have never met?
224
00:10:21,997 --> 00:10:24,458
Well, we've been to several
of the same functions, yeah,
225
00:10:24,541 --> 00:10:26,043
but we've never
been introduced.
226
00:10:26,126 --> 00:10:28,629
In a town this small,
how does that happen?
227
00:10:30,422 --> 00:10:32,716
So, should I offer my hand?
228
00:10:32,799 --> 00:10:34,134
I wouldn't worry about it.
229
00:10:35,761 --> 00:10:37,804
- Liz?
- Good morning!
230
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:39,222
Bill Sandford.
231
00:10:39,306 --> 00:10:40,766
I'm amazed
it's taken this long.
232
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:43,101
Well, you know, I wanted
to introduce myself
233
00:10:43,185 --> 00:10:44,353
at the Free Enterprise Dinner,
234
00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:47,105
but you were the first one
out the door.
235
00:10:47,189 --> 00:10:48,982
Minor crisis on the Hill.
236
00:10:49,608 --> 00:10:50,776
Well, a lesser commander
237
00:10:50,859 --> 00:10:52,361
would've left that
to a soldier,
238
00:10:52,444 --> 00:10:54,196
which is the reason I'm here.
239
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:56,239
Why exactly are you here?
240
00:10:56,323 --> 00:10:58,158
Killing bills
like Heaton-Harris,
241
00:10:58,241 --> 00:10:59,785
that's food and drink
to you guys.
242
00:10:59,868 --> 00:11:02,120
- So you've read it?
- No, but I know what it is.
243
00:11:02,204 --> 00:11:03,747
It's a bipartisan gun bill
244
00:11:03,830 --> 00:11:05,374
requiring universal
background checks.
245
00:11:05,791 --> 00:11:08,794
On all sales of firearms.
246
00:11:08,877 --> 00:11:10,212
Now, come on.
247
00:11:10,295 --> 00:11:13,507
A father and his son,
lifelong friends.
248
00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:16,301
It just means longer delays.
249
00:11:16,385 --> 00:11:18,303
It's some kind of
Big Brother type criminal
250
00:11:18,387 --> 00:11:20,222
and mental health database.
251
00:11:20,305 --> 00:11:23,058
An unconstitutional fetter
on the Second Amendment
252
00:11:23,141 --> 00:11:25,018
which, as you said,
253
00:11:26,395 --> 00:11:27,771
we will eat for breakfast.
254
00:11:28,063 --> 00:11:29,106
255
00:11:29,981 --> 00:11:32,359
Mr. Sandford, I deal
primarily in taxation
256
00:11:32,693 --> 00:11:33,902
and Federal Government
interference
257
00:11:33,985 --> 00:11:35,028
in free enterprise. This...
258
00:11:35,112 --> 00:11:36,697
I'm aware, I am aware.
259
00:11:37,364 --> 00:11:38,365
But I'll tell you,
260
00:11:38,448 --> 00:11:40,450
the reputation you have
garnered for yourself,
261
00:11:40,534 --> 00:11:42,911
we were just looking for
an excuse to engage you.
262
00:11:43,954 --> 00:11:45,330
Okay. Let's have it.
263
00:11:51,378 --> 00:11:52,546
Women.
264
00:11:53,505 --> 00:11:55,048
Our polling data is telling us
265
00:11:55,132 --> 00:11:57,175
that we're not connecting
with the female voter.
266
00:11:58,969 --> 00:12:01,263
So, we want to change
the narrative.
267
00:12:01,346 --> 00:12:04,516
From mothers losing
their kids to guns,
268
00:12:04,599 --> 00:12:07,227
to mothers protecting
their kids with guns.
269
00:12:08,353 --> 00:12:10,814
From a battered wife
threatened by a bullet,
270
00:12:10,897 --> 00:12:14,484
to fending off her
violent husband with a .38.
271
00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:17,654
Guns as tools
of female empowerment.
272
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:20,657
What's the saying?
God created humans...
273
00:12:20,741 --> 00:12:23,535
Samuel Colt made them equal.
274
00:12:23,618 --> 00:12:24,619
275
00:12:26,204 --> 00:12:29,916
Now, Liz, imagine
a new organization,
276
00:12:31,001 --> 00:12:33,462
pitched at women
who are deterred
277
00:12:34,463 --> 00:12:37,257
by the strong rhetoric of the
Second Amendment groups,
278
00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:40,218
and by our association
with the political right.
279
00:12:41,553 --> 00:12:44,765
But no links to us,
no baggage.
280
00:12:45,724 --> 00:12:47,851
No overt position on guns.
281
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:50,520
And you
282
00:12:51,313 --> 00:12:54,524
will build it up,
you will drive its agenda,
283
00:12:54,608 --> 00:12:57,402
and slowly but surely,
284
00:12:58,236 --> 00:13:00,155
you will turn those members
285
00:13:00,489 --> 00:13:03,909
into paid-up guardians
of the Second Amendment.
286
00:13:03,992 --> 00:13:06,077
287
00:13:14,169 --> 00:13:16,129
288
00:13:23,303 --> 00:13:24,971
So, what? Um...
289
00:13:25,055 --> 00:13:27,516
Mothers For A Safer America...
290
00:13:27,599 --> 00:13:30,602
Achieved by making sure
291
00:13:30,685 --> 00:13:32,938
every last citizen is
armed to the teeth?
292
00:13:33,188 --> 00:13:34,189
Liz?
293
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,316
Jesus, is this the reputation
I've garnered?
294
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:38,318
Gold medalist
in ethical limbo?
295
00:13:39,236 --> 00:13:41,822
I see no ethical problem
with reframing an issue.
296
00:13:42,072 --> 00:13:44,741
Trying to win the female vote
by taking the gun lobby
297
00:13:44,825 --> 00:13:46,952
and dressing it up
in a frilly pink frock,
298
00:13:47,035 --> 00:13:48,078
it is so crude,
299
00:13:48,161 --> 00:13:50,247
it could only have originated
in a room full of old men.
300
00:13:50,413 --> 00:13:51,414
Well, it didn't!
301
00:13:55,001 --> 00:13:56,461
This is my own idea.
302
00:13:57,337 --> 00:14:00,715
Well, my advice
is to kill it in utero.
303
00:14:01,174 --> 00:14:02,717
You'll need more
than the trite wisdom
304
00:14:02,801 --> 00:14:04,094
that we value security
305
00:14:04,177 --> 00:14:06,596
to get us behind your views
on the Second Amendment.
306
00:14:14,563 --> 00:14:15,897
Well, the fact remains
307
00:14:15,981 --> 00:14:17,482
that when it comes
to the female voter,
308
00:14:17,983 --> 00:14:19,651
our numbers need to be better.
309
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,408
I see.
310
00:14:27,450 --> 00:14:29,327
Well, why don't I take
a look at the numbers
311
00:14:29,411 --> 00:14:30,996
and then we'll proceed
from there?
312
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:34,082
Who the hell
does she think she is?
313
00:14:34,207 --> 00:14:35,333
It can be spun.
314
00:14:35,417 --> 00:14:36,626
For the purpose of
gaining trust,
315
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:38,086
it may've been
the right tactical move.
316
00:14:38,169 --> 00:14:40,547
And do you believe,
for one nanosecond,
317
00:14:40,630 --> 00:14:42,591
that was at the forefront
of her mind
318
00:14:42,674 --> 00:14:44,175
when she told him
to take his business
319
00:14:44,467 --> 00:14:46,011
and shove it up
his gun barrel?
320
00:14:46,094 --> 00:14:47,095
Candice!
321
00:14:47,262 --> 00:14:48,930
I want Sloane
in my office now!
322
00:14:50,807 --> 00:14:52,017
She's good, isn't she?
323
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:53,560
You'll look at the numbers?
324
00:14:54,352 --> 00:14:55,520
I'm sure the president
325
00:14:55,604 --> 00:14:58,481
of one of the most powerful
groups on the Hill
326
00:14:58,565 --> 00:15:00,233
will be honored
that Her Majesty
327
00:15:00,317 --> 00:15:02,777
has agreed to look
at the fucking numbers!
328
00:15:04,613 --> 00:15:05,947
What's going on with you?
329
00:15:06,031 --> 00:15:07,824
The current system
is so porous, it floats.
330
00:15:07,908 --> 00:15:09,743
I don't remember
you caring, ever,
331
00:15:09,826 --> 00:15:11,661
one way or another about guns!
332
00:15:11,745 --> 00:15:13,413
My position solidified somewhere
333
00:15:13,496 --> 00:15:15,332
between Columbine
and Charleston.
334
00:15:15,582 --> 00:15:17,417
Come on, George,
any head-case,
335
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:19,878
felon or terrorist can
buy an assault rifle
336
00:15:19,961 --> 00:15:21,379
from a gun show, the Internet,
337
00:15:21,463 --> 00:15:23,924
or his buddy
at the Bowl-O-Rama
338
00:15:24,007 --> 00:15:26,468
without so much as an ID.
339
00:15:26,676 --> 00:15:27,802
Heaton-Harris
puts a stop to that.
340
00:15:27,886 --> 00:15:29,804
Christ, Liz,
this is the gun lobby.
341
00:15:29,888 --> 00:15:30,972
Do you have any idea
342
00:15:31,056 --> 00:15:32,682
how long I've been trying
to reel them in?
343
00:15:33,308 --> 00:15:34,559
No.
344
00:15:34,643 --> 00:15:35,727
Something happened.
345
00:15:36,144 --> 00:15:38,730
Someone you know
was the victim of a gun crime.
346
00:15:38,813 --> 00:15:41,149
Nonsense.
I just formed an opinion.
347
00:15:41,441 --> 00:15:43,693
You're the champion
of the free market.
348
00:15:44,194 --> 00:15:46,071
You abhor frivolous
government intervention...
349
00:15:46,154 --> 00:15:47,322
I would hardly categorize
350
00:15:47,405 --> 00:15:48,698
responsible gun laws
as frivolous...
351
00:15:48,782 --> 00:15:49,908
Indonesians!
352
00:15:50,450 --> 00:15:53,870
For Christ's sake,
you rep Indonesians!
353
00:15:54,162 --> 00:15:55,747
To stop our government
from looting
354
00:15:55,830 --> 00:15:57,248
one of their
few sources of income.
355
00:15:57,332 --> 00:15:58,667
And what is wrong
with Indonesia?
356
00:15:58,750 --> 00:15:59,751
We're about to
secure Al Jacobs
357
00:15:59,834 --> 00:16:01,127
with a field trip there.
358
00:16:01,211 --> 00:16:02,712
Is that a promise or a threat?
359
00:16:03,171 --> 00:16:04,547
I can just picture
the good Senator
360
00:16:04,631 --> 00:16:06,049
being boiled in a cauldron
361
00:16:06,132 --> 00:16:08,385
with all these natives
dancing around him.
362
00:16:08,843 --> 00:16:11,471
Get back to
your Fortune 500 clients.
363
00:16:11,721 --> 00:16:13,932
Your colorful interventions
are the cause of
364
00:16:14,015 --> 00:16:16,768
a lot of industry backchat
this firm could do without.
365
00:16:16,851 --> 00:16:18,728
I work on behalf of
causes I believe in.
366
00:16:18,812 --> 00:16:20,146
That's how I sleep at night.
367
00:16:20,355 --> 00:16:21,940
You don't sleep at night.
368
00:16:23,066 --> 00:16:25,402
You sit and obsess
about winning,
369
00:16:25,777 --> 00:16:27,237
no matter the cause.
370
00:16:28,321 --> 00:16:29,698
Those little pills
in your purse
371
00:16:29,781 --> 00:16:31,491
are not the kind that
lull you to sleep.
372
00:16:32,033 --> 00:16:33,952
The only reason you
373
00:16:34,035 --> 00:16:38,248
and your team of gum-chewing
ragamuffins are here
374
00:16:38,665 --> 00:16:42,043
is that your arrogant pranks
might generate enough buzz
375
00:16:42,127 --> 00:16:44,295
to attract clients
like Bill Sandford.
376
00:16:44,796 --> 00:16:48,800
Meaning, if you don't dedicate
yourself to his cause,
377
00:16:49,217 --> 00:16:51,344
this firm won't have
any use for you.
378
00:16:55,348 --> 00:16:58,518
Now go away,
look into those numbers,
379
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:01,271
and start getting
women into guns.
380
00:17:06,276 --> 00:17:09,279
Any dizziness? Nausea?
No.
381
00:17:09,362 --> 00:17:11,990
- That's what you always say.
382
00:17:12,073 --> 00:17:13,533
Doctor, I'm fine.
383
00:17:13,616 --> 00:17:15,035
If my insurance company
weren't such sticklers,
384
00:17:15,118 --> 00:17:16,786
we wouldn't even be having
this conversation.
385
00:17:16,911 --> 00:17:17,954
What time are you
getting to sleep?
386
00:17:18,580 --> 00:17:19,622
I sleep a lot, it varies.
387
00:17:19,998 --> 00:17:21,791
What time did you get to
sleep last night?
388
00:17:23,043 --> 00:17:24,294
Did you get any sleep at all?
389
00:17:24,377 --> 00:17:25,503
These are busy times.
390
00:17:25,587 --> 00:17:27,881
You don't need
a doctor to tell you
391
00:17:27,964 --> 00:17:29,883
that you're working yourself
into an early grave.
392
00:17:30,341 --> 00:17:31,551
The long hours...
393
00:17:31,634 --> 00:17:32,761
Okay, when you
called me just now,
394
00:17:32,844 --> 00:17:34,095
what number did you dial?
395
00:17:34,179 --> 00:17:35,221
Your home number.
396
00:17:35,513 --> 00:17:36,806
Cell is off,
cocoa is on the stove,
397
00:17:36,890 --> 00:17:38,099
book is at my bedside.
398
00:17:38,183 --> 00:17:39,684
I'll be asleep
in under two hours.
399
00:17:40,018 --> 00:17:41,478
Thanks for calling, Doctor.
400
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:42,771
In the Republican party,
401
00:17:42,854 --> 00:17:44,022
he can help you out
in California...
402
00:17:44,689 --> 00:17:45,899
Okay!
403
00:17:45,982 --> 00:17:47,317
Good, welcome.
404
00:17:49,402 --> 00:17:51,071
Yes! Yeah.
405
00:17:51,404 --> 00:17:52,989
I want you to meet
Senator Davidson.
406
00:17:54,074 --> 00:17:56,993
Yes. I appreciate you coming
to every fundraiser.
407
00:17:57,452 --> 00:17:58,870
Yeah, I'll be right back.
408
00:18:07,212 --> 00:18:08,421
409
00:18:27,690 --> 00:18:29,317
Hello! I expect to
see you next time.
410
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,777
Yes. That would be great.
411
00:18:30,985 --> 00:18:32,362
Yes, nice to see you.
412
00:18:43,581 --> 00:18:44,874
Early night?
413
00:18:46,084 --> 00:18:48,419
If you're looking for a quote,
you're wasting your time.
414
00:18:49,045 --> 00:18:50,421
I've just watched you
extricate yourself
415
00:18:50,505 --> 00:18:51,673
from three conversations
416
00:18:51,756 --> 00:18:53,716
to use the ladies' room
in the space of 30 minutes.
417
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,553
You busted me.
I'm incontinent. Write it up.
418
00:18:58,012 --> 00:18:59,055
I hope I'm wrong,
419
00:18:59,139 --> 00:19:00,640
but one might think
you're sick of this town.
420
00:19:00,723 --> 00:19:03,059
You from the
Post?
How did you get in?
421
00:19:03,143 --> 00:19:04,686
I'd just like five minutes
of your time.
422
00:19:04,769 --> 00:19:05,770
Fine.
423
00:19:05,854 --> 00:19:08,106
Walk to my car is three,
get to the point.
424
00:19:09,023 --> 00:19:10,567
The word on the Hill
is that the gun lobby
425
00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:11,985
approached you
over Heaton-Harris
426
00:19:12,068 --> 00:19:13,236
and you refused.
427
00:19:13,945 --> 00:19:15,947
I don't comment on
"word on the Hill."
428
00:19:16,030 --> 00:19:17,532
I know the only way
you'd do that
429
00:19:17,615 --> 00:19:19,325
is if you support the bill.
430
00:19:19,409 --> 00:19:20,702
That's quite a story.
431
00:19:21,035 --> 00:19:22,662
Turning down
a prized client because
432
00:19:22,745 --> 00:19:24,372
you can't accept
what they stand for.
433
00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:27,333
Elizabeth Sloane, the
conviction lobbyist. Who knew?
434
00:19:27,417 --> 00:19:29,043
- I said, get to the point.
435
00:19:30,128 --> 00:19:32,338
Will you admit
the present system is broken?
436
00:19:32,422 --> 00:19:34,299
I remain committed
to the Second Amendment.
437
00:19:34,841 --> 00:19:36,759
Dildos are illegal in Texas,
438
00:19:36,843 --> 00:19:38,803
but Joe Public can
walk into a sports store
439
00:19:38,887 --> 00:19:40,180
and walk out with a shotgun.
440
00:19:40,263 --> 00:19:41,806
That would explain
the low rate
441
00:19:41,890 --> 00:19:43,433
of dildo-related
murders in Texas.
442
00:19:43,808 --> 00:19:45,018
443
00:19:45,101 --> 00:19:46,895
Okay, it wasn't that funny.
444
00:19:47,645 --> 00:19:48,980
What do you want?
445
00:19:49,063 --> 00:19:50,315
Your quote.
446
00:19:52,275 --> 00:19:54,277
Fine. A conviction lobbyist
447
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:56,946
need only believe
in their ability to win.
448
00:19:59,282 --> 00:20:00,408
That's a keeper.
449
00:20:01,451 --> 00:20:03,119
One more thing,
off the record.
450
00:20:03,203 --> 00:20:04,454
- Mmm-hmm.
- What do you know about
451
00:20:04,537 --> 00:20:06,206
- the gun lobby's opponents?
- The Brady Campaign?
452
00:20:06,289 --> 00:20:08,208
I know they're going to lose
because their total budget
453
00:20:08,291 --> 00:20:09,459
is less than what
the gun lobby pays
454
00:20:09,542 --> 00:20:10,543
to get their shoes shined.
455
00:20:11,252 --> 00:20:12,962
What about their lobbyists,
Peterson Wyatt?
456
00:20:13,087 --> 00:20:14,047
457
00:20:14,130 --> 00:20:16,466
They're a boutique bipartisan
Government Affairs agency.
458
00:20:16,591 --> 00:20:19,969
"Boutique" is a euphemism
for "little fish."
459
00:20:20,053 --> 00:20:22,305
"Bipartisan" denotes
a bunch of hippies in suits.
460
00:20:22,805 --> 00:20:24,307
Do you know anything
about their CEO?
461
00:20:24,432 --> 00:20:25,558
Guy named Schmidt?
462
00:20:25,642 --> 00:20:26,976
No, never heard of him.
463
00:20:27,101 --> 00:20:29,562
But if the firm is built
in his image,
464
00:20:29,646 --> 00:20:30,813
I'm sure he's a simpering wuss
465
00:20:30,939 --> 00:20:32,482
with a Ph.D in
style-over-substance.
466
00:20:32,607 --> 00:20:33,608
Got it.
467
00:20:34,817 --> 00:20:36,653
I never introduced myself,
by the way.
468
00:20:37,570 --> 00:20:38,821
My name's Rodolfo Schmidt,
469
00:20:39,822 --> 00:20:40,990
CEO of Peterson Wyatt.
470
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,161
What's the matter?
471
00:20:45,245 --> 00:20:46,329
Am I not simpering
hard enough?
472
00:20:46,996 --> 00:20:48,248
Your firm's 12 years old,
473
00:20:48,331 --> 00:20:49,916
I'd think your name
would be Peterson or...
474
00:20:49,999 --> 00:20:51,417
What...
475
00:20:51,834 --> 00:20:53,294
What is this about?
476
00:20:54,003 --> 00:20:55,421
You're pro-Heaton-Harris.
477
00:20:55,505 --> 00:20:56,506
It's an open secret
478
00:20:56,589 --> 00:20:57,924
you're at war with
your firm's leadership.
479
00:20:58,007 --> 00:20:59,342
The Brady Campaign wants you
480
00:20:59,425 --> 00:21:00,843
to lead the fight
to pass the bill.
481
00:21:01,177 --> 00:21:02,845
You'd run defense
out of our office.
482
00:21:02,971 --> 00:21:04,264
When it's over,
483
00:21:04,347 --> 00:21:06,182
you can choose from
any of the D.C. behemoths
484
00:21:06,432 --> 00:21:07,684
lining up for your signature.
485
00:21:10,687 --> 00:21:14,232
This is Peterson Wyatt's quote
for your services.
486
00:21:19,862 --> 00:21:21,698
I don't know
if I should be flattered
487
00:21:21,781 --> 00:21:22,865
or insulted, Mr. Schmidt,
488
00:21:22,991 --> 00:21:25,285
but you clearly have
the wrong opinion of me.
489
00:21:25,785 --> 00:21:27,161
I think my opinion
of you is right on.
490
00:21:27,870 --> 00:21:29,789
Don't tell me you don't want
to take a swing at this.
491
00:21:29,998 --> 00:21:31,165
Goodbye, Mr. Schmidt.
492
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:33,543
Where's your car?
493
00:21:33,626 --> 00:21:35,753
Should be at the valet by now.
I don't drive.
494
00:21:38,381 --> 00:21:39,424
495
00:22:03,573 --> 00:22:04,574
496
00:22:06,576 --> 00:22:08,036
497
00:22:11,164 --> 00:22:12,540
Hi, Jane?
498
00:22:13,082 --> 00:22:14,083
Yeah, I know what time it is.
499
00:22:14,751 --> 00:22:16,044
Listen...
500
00:22:16,919 --> 00:22:18,504
If, uh, Socrates never
wrote anything,
501
00:22:19,380 --> 00:22:21,257
how is it anyone's
ever heard of him?
502
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:24,969
Look, we need a meeting.
503
00:22:27,597 --> 00:22:28,681
Where are they putting
Senator Jacobs?
504
00:22:28,765 --> 00:22:29,766
The Lombok Lodge?
505
00:22:29,849 --> 00:22:30,933
Yes.
506
00:22:31,059 --> 00:22:32,435
- It's on the beach?
- Yes.
507
00:22:32,602 --> 00:22:33,811
Good.
508
00:22:34,103 --> 00:22:35,188
This goes off to
the Senate Ethics Committee.
509
00:22:35,772 --> 00:22:36,856
Once they authorize
the travel,
510
00:22:36,939 --> 00:22:38,024
Jacobs is on a plane.
511
00:22:38,107 --> 00:22:40,026
- Is that okay?
- It's fine.
512
00:22:40,109 --> 00:22:42,278
- Technically, I mean?
- Don't worry about it.
513
00:22:42,403 --> 00:22:44,280
It's just... As lobbyists,
we can't be involved
514
00:22:44,405 --> 00:22:46,532
in arranging overseas travel
for members of Congress.
515
00:22:47,283 --> 00:22:49,202
I read ethics regs when
I want to look busy.
516
00:22:49,535 --> 00:22:51,037
If you weren't just
pretending to be busy,
517
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:52,121
you'd know that the workaround
518
00:22:52,246 --> 00:22:53,289
is to get this
to the non-profit,
519
00:22:53,373 --> 00:22:55,541
have them sign and file
with the Ethics Committee.
520
00:22:55,625 --> 00:22:57,377
Do I seem unduly concerned?
521
00:22:57,877 --> 00:22:58,961
Okay.
522
00:22:59,045 --> 00:23:01,547
George told me
what happened with Sandford.
523
00:23:01,631 --> 00:23:03,007
- Mmm.
- Are you retarded?
524
00:23:03,424 --> 00:23:05,385
Why are you eating
a chocolate cake for breakfast?
525
00:23:05,635 --> 00:23:07,220
- Have you no shame?
- It's a muffin.
526
00:23:07,804 --> 00:23:09,555
You never had
a muffin for breakfast?
527
00:23:09,639 --> 00:23:10,890
A muffin, let's see.
528
00:23:10,973 --> 00:23:13,643
Eggs, milk, flour, sugar,
cocoa powder, chocolate.
529
00:23:13,726 --> 00:23:15,686
That sounds exactly like
a cake, but of course,
530
00:23:16,062 --> 00:23:17,730
no civilized person
would ever eat
531
00:23:17,814 --> 00:23:19,315
a chocolate cake
for breakfast.
532
00:23:19,774 --> 00:23:20,900
You've lost your mind.
533
00:23:20,983 --> 00:23:22,568
Franklin,
are you getting this?
534
00:23:22,652 --> 00:23:23,820
'Cause I'm really
talking to you.
535
00:23:23,945 --> 00:23:24,987
Huh?
536
00:23:25,113 --> 00:23:26,406
Shmallow Cakes
aren't really cakes.
537
00:23:26,489 --> 00:23:28,157
They're marshmallow
paste sandwiched
538
00:23:28,282 --> 00:23:29,742
between two cookies
covered in chocolate.
539
00:23:29,826 --> 00:23:31,244
And while our tax code
deems cakes
540
00:23:31,661 --> 00:23:33,830
luxury items
and hits them harder,
541
00:23:34,163 --> 00:23:36,499
cookies are obviously
necessities,
542
00:23:36,624 --> 00:23:37,792
and therefore exempt.
543
00:23:38,126 --> 00:23:39,419
- Are you getting this?
- What?
544
00:23:39,502 --> 00:23:41,504
Have Shmallow Cakes
re-designated as cookies,
545
00:23:41,629 --> 00:23:43,923
argue cake in the name
is merely marketing puff.
546
00:23:44,173 --> 00:23:45,508
You'll need evidence in court,
547
00:23:45,633 --> 00:23:47,093
but get a team
of scientists to opine
548
00:23:47,176 --> 00:23:52,640
that they are in fact 80%
cookie and zero percent cake.
549
00:23:53,182 --> 00:23:54,350
That's how you win.
550
00:23:54,809 --> 00:23:56,018
You knew that all along?
551
00:23:56,144 --> 00:23:57,854
You would have
got there eventually.
552
00:23:57,937 --> 00:23:59,021
Then why are you
telling me this?
553
00:23:59,105 --> 00:24:00,523
In case you're not
coming with me.
554
00:24:04,527 --> 00:24:06,112
What's going on?
555
00:24:06,195 --> 00:24:07,363
All right, everyone.
556
00:24:07,447 --> 00:24:08,448
I called you here
to announce that,
557
00:24:08,531 --> 00:24:09,532
effective immediately,
558
00:24:09,657 --> 00:24:11,701
I am leaving Cole Kravitz
559
00:24:11,826 --> 00:24:13,369
and starting work
as lead consultant
560
00:24:13,494 --> 00:24:15,580
for the Brady Campaign
at Peterson Wyatt.
561
00:24:15,788 --> 00:24:18,416
I've secured positions
for everyone in this room
562
00:24:18,708 --> 00:24:20,543
without change to
your current compensation.
563
00:24:21,836 --> 00:24:23,129
So, who's with me on this?
564
00:24:23,212 --> 00:24:26,883
I just spent the last hour
wiping your shit
565
00:24:27,216 --> 00:24:28,426
off Bill Sandford's shoes,
566
00:24:29,552 --> 00:24:31,220
assuring him that
you're the right lady
567
00:24:31,304 --> 00:24:32,722
to broaden his membership!
568
00:24:33,514 --> 00:24:35,558
We're inches from
a green fucking light!
569
00:24:35,808 --> 00:24:37,602
So, you're saying I should
put you down as a maybe?
570
00:24:40,229 --> 00:24:42,482
You can't possibly win this!
571
00:24:43,357 --> 00:24:44,817
Who's with me?
572
00:24:52,074 --> 00:24:53,117
I'm with you.
573
00:24:53,493 --> 00:24:55,828
Whoa, whoa, Ross,
hey, come on, I need you.
574
00:24:55,912 --> 00:24:57,079
She needs me more.
575
00:24:57,330 --> 00:24:58,581
Alex?
576
00:24:59,582 --> 00:25:00,666
Lauren?
577
00:25:03,377 --> 00:25:05,546
The fuck is this?
Jerry Maguire?
578
00:25:05,922 --> 00:25:07,048
You've seen
Jerry Maguire?
579
00:25:08,549 --> 00:25:09,759
Guns frighten me.
580
00:25:13,429 --> 00:25:16,265
So, Sloane and Co.
versus Connors and who else?
581
00:25:18,351 --> 00:25:21,687
Mmm. O'Hara, Wickman,
Moore, the God Squad.
582
00:25:22,021 --> 00:25:23,147
Ramirez,
583
00:25:25,274 --> 00:25:26,943
how many Tec-9s
do you own again?
584
00:25:27,026 --> 00:25:28,194
Enough to defend my property.
585
00:25:28,903 --> 00:25:30,446
Plus two more
to piss off the lefties.
586
00:25:31,781 --> 00:25:32,782
All right, Jane,
587
00:25:32,907 --> 00:25:34,367
contact Rodolfo Schmidt
at Peterson Wyatt,
588
00:25:34,450 --> 00:25:36,327
and tell him there's
a total of six coming over.
589
00:25:38,579 --> 00:25:39,830
I count five.
590
00:25:40,790 --> 00:25:42,291
Mathematician you are not.
591
00:25:43,042 --> 00:25:44,210
Who said I was coming?
592
00:25:44,293 --> 00:25:45,461
I did. Call Rodolfo.
593
00:25:46,128 --> 00:25:47,296
What if I'm staying?
594
00:25:47,964 --> 00:25:49,715
Jesus, now is not
the time to develop
595
00:25:50,132 --> 00:25:51,509
a sense of humor, Jane.
596
00:25:51,759 --> 00:25:53,594
That's good, 'cause I'm not.
597
00:25:57,390 --> 00:25:59,058
Seriously, kid, go.
598
00:25:59,642 --> 00:26:00,726
I could care less.
599
00:26:03,312 --> 00:26:04,605
You were right before.
600
00:26:04,981 --> 00:26:06,566
About post-grad.
Maybe it is a cop-out.
601
00:26:06,649 --> 00:26:08,442
I'm at one of the best firms
in the city.
602
00:26:09,652 --> 00:26:11,696
Your reputation
might survive a move
603
00:26:11,821 --> 00:26:15,658
to some third-tier outfit
to fight a losing battle.
604
00:26:16,659 --> 00:26:18,160
Mine won't.
605
00:26:18,244 --> 00:26:19,287
No shit.
606
00:26:19,996 --> 00:26:21,330
I take it back.
607
00:26:22,999 --> 00:26:26,002
I've learned a lot from you
these last couple years, Liz.
608
00:26:26,836 --> 00:26:28,170
I'll miss you.
609
00:26:29,171 --> 00:26:30,840
The 3:00 a.m. wake-up calls?
610
00:26:31,257 --> 00:26:32,675
Not so much.
611
00:26:34,176 --> 00:26:36,178
You've obviously learned
more than you let on.
612
00:26:36,637 --> 00:26:38,681
You've shown more ambition
in the last 60 seconds
613
00:26:38,764 --> 00:26:41,017
than I've seen
in the prior two years,
614
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:42,310
but you are delusional
615
00:26:43,019 --> 00:26:45,021
if you think you can
survive without me.
616
00:26:46,022 --> 00:26:47,523
If we butt heads on this,
617
00:26:47,607 --> 00:26:49,817
don't think I'll show you
any compassion.
618
00:26:51,527 --> 00:26:52,778
And with that in mind,
619
00:26:52,862 --> 00:26:55,573
I will give you a final
opportunity to reconsider.
620
00:27:07,209 --> 00:27:08,210
621
00:27:08,336 --> 00:27:11,213
All right. I'm off to say my goodbye
to the money-man.
622
00:27:11,547 --> 00:27:13,799
When this town guts you
like a trout
623
00:27:13,883 --> 00:27:15,968
and chokes you
with your own entrails,
624
00:27:16,052 --> 00:27:18,137
don't come sniveling to me.
625
00:27:19,889 --> 00:27:21,390
We'll come back
626
00:27:21,557 --> 00:27:23,601
to the Asian Republic
of Indonesia later,
627
00:27:25,353 --> 00:27:27,563
but, you see, what troubles me
628
00:27:27,647 --> 00:27:30,733
is the amount
of influence you had.
629
00:27:31,025 --> 00:27:32,902
We've seen communications
630
00:27:33,027 --> 00:27:35,738
from senior figures
in Washington
631
00:27:36,238 --> 00:27:39,742
who feared that you,
a lobbyist,
632
00:27:40,409 --> 00:27:43,079
could destroy their careers
with a snap of your fingers.
633
00:27:45,247 --> 00:27:46,832
Is this reputation something
634
00:27:46,916 --> 00:27:48,292
you've cultivated,
Miss Sloane?
635
00:27:50,252 --> 00:27:51,462
Upon the advice of counsel,
636
00:27:51,545 --> 00:27:52,880
I must respectfully decline
to answer your question,
637
00:27:53,756 --> 00:27:55,424
based on my rights
under the Fifth Amendment
638
00:27:55,508 --> 00:27:57,343
to the United States Constitution.
639
00:27:57,677 --> 00:27:59,261
You see, it's bad enough
one person
640
00:27:59,345 --> 00:28:01,180
having that much influence,
641
00:28:01,681 --> 00:28:05,434
but if they're out of control,
if she has a problem,
642
00:28:06,602 --> 00:28:08,854
an addiction, well,
643
00:28:10,106 --> 00:28:12,316
it would be like the ship
of American politics
644
00:28:12,733 --> 00:28:14,110
is being steered by a drunk.
645
00:28:16,779 --> 00:28:19,782
Do you, or have you ever had,
646
00:28:20,199 --> 00:28:22,118
any problems with
substance abuse?
647
00:28:22,785 --> 00:28:24,120
Upon the advice of counsel,
648
00:28:24,203 --> 00:28:26,622
I must respectfully decline
to answer your question,
649
00:28:26,747 --> 00:28:28,457
based on my rights
under the Fifth Amendment
650
00:28:28,582 --> 00:28:29,583
to the United States Constitution.
651
00:28:30,459 --> 00:28:31,919
I understand you have difficulty sleeping?
652
00:28:36,132 --> 00:28:39,135
We subpoenaed medical records.
653
00:28:39,427 --> 00:28:43,639
You're a long-time sufferer
from chronic insomnia.
654
00:28:43,764 --> 00:28:45,224
655
00:28:45,307 --> 00:28:48,477
You regularly work
over 16 hours a day.
656
00:28:48,602 --> 00:28:51,605
But you can't get off
to sleep. Is this accurate?
657
00:28:52,982 --> 00:28:55,317
Upon the advice of counsel,
I respectfully...
658
00:28:55,401 --> 00:28:57,653
I must respectfully decline
to answer your question,
659
00:28:57,778 --> 00:28:59,655
based on my rights under
660
00:28:59,739 --> 00:29:01,323
the Fifth Amendment
of the United States...
661
00:29:01,449 --> 00:29:02,658
To the Constitution.
662
00:29:02,783 --> 00:29:04,076
Whatever.
663
00:29:04,660 --> 00:29:05,661
You were prescribed
664
00:29:06,078 --> 00:29:10,332
multiple courses
of benzodiazepines,
665
00:29:10,958 --> 00:29:12,001
but according to
the deposition
666
00:29:12,126 --> 00:29:13,419
of one of our witnesses,
667
00:29:13,502 --> 00:29:16,589
you've been procuring,
off-prescription,
668
00:29:16,672 --> 00:29:18,758
a course of psycho-stimulants,
669
00:29:19,175 --> 00:29:23,596
with the aim of keeping you
awake a little longer.
670
00:29:24,346 --> 00:29:25,806
Is this true?
671
00:29:26,807 --> 00:29:28,184
Miss Sloane?
672
00:29:30,478 --> 00:29:31,520
Upon the advice of counsel,
673
00:29:31,604 --> 00:29:33,355
I must respectfully decline
to answer your question,
674
00:29:33,439 --> 00:29:34,857
based on my rights
under the Fifth Amendment
675
00:29:34,982 --> 00:29:36,692
to the United States Constitution.
676
00:29:38,527 --> 00:29:40,696
Okay. Getting back
to this business
677
00:29:40,780 --> 00:29:42,364
of the Asian Republic
of Indonesia...
678
00:29:42,490 --> 00:29:43,949
I am not a drug addict,
679
00:29:44,033 --> 00:29:46,202
and this line of questioning
has no revel...
680
00:29:46,285 --> 00:29:47,787
Relevance in this case.
681
00:29:47,870 --> 00:29:49,538
My medication doesn't
affect my judgment
682
00:29:49,622 --> 00:29:51,290
any more than
a double espresso.
683
00:29:51,373 --> 00:29:53,542
And speaking of intoxication,
684
00:29:53,667 --> 00:29:55,127
I can recite from memory
685
00:29:55,211 --> 00:29:57,630
a list of upstanding,
elected Senators
686
00:29:57,713 --> 00:30:01,050
who voted on legislation
while severely inebriated.
687
00:30:01,342 --> 00:30:03,552
And just so you know,
I think, by now,
688
00:30:03,886 --> 00:30:05,054
we are fully aware,
689
00:30:05,179 --> 00:30:07,306
and in no danger
of forgetting,
690
00:30:07,389 --> 00:30:09,642
that Indonesia is a republic,
691
00:30:09,725 --> 00:30:13,562
which happens to be situated
on the continent of Asia.
692
00:30:15,731 --> 00:30:16,899
Miss Sloane.
693
00:30:19,568 --> 00:30:21,070
Welcome to the party.
694
00:30:26,492 --> 00:30:27,910
Five years.
695
00:30:30,663 --> 00:30:31,872
Was it really worth it?
696
00:30:32,581 --> 00:30:34,416
- Five years minimum.
- What's five years?
697
00:30:34,542 --> 00:30:37,753
All for some puerile quip
about Indonesia being in Asia.
698
00:30:39,213 --> 00:30:42,508
Can't you see that whole
construct was designed to...
699
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:43,592
And it worked.
700
00:30:44,385 --> 00:30:46,095
Are you gonna tell me
what five years is?
701
00:30:46,220 --> 00:30:47,346
You fell for it.
702
00:30:48,055 --> 00:30:49,682
The smartest operative
on the Hill
703
00:30:49,765 --> 00:30:51,350
JUST got played
by Grampa Simpson!
704
00:30:51,433 --> 00:30:52,434
Is it how long
this conversation's
705
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:53,602
gonna feel like?
706
00:30:53,686 --> 00:30:56,605
It's the going rate for
perjury before Congress.
707
00:30:56,689 --> 00:30:57,857
Now you've
thrown out the Fifth,
708
00:30:57,940 --> 00:30:59,358
anyone who wants you
in the ground,
709
00:30:59,441 --> 00:31:01,861
and that's a lot of people,
they're hard at work
710
00:31:01,944 --> 00:31:04,196
dedicating their creative
and intellectual efforts
711
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,614
to catching you in a lie.
712
00:31:05,739 --> 00:31:08,117
Well, what if I just
stay silent?
713
00:31:08,534 --> 00:31:10,119
Well, that's a great idea.
714
00:31:10,202 --> 00:31:11,787
Shit, why didn't your lawyer
think of that?
715
00:31:11,871 --> 00:31:13,038
If I refuse to answer...
716
00:31:13,122 --> 00:31:14,206
They'll throw you in jail
717
00:31:14,290 --> 00:31:15,708
- for contempt of Congress!
- Shh!
718
00:31:16,458 --> 00:31:18,377
You've just blown
this thing wide open!
719
00:31:18,460 --> 00:31:19,545
Calm down, Daniel.
720
00:31:19,962 --> 00:31:21,130
You're starting
to look like you care.
721
00:31:21,463 --> 00:31:22,631
No.
722
00:31:22,756 --> 00:31:23,716
I don't care about you
723
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:24,800
any further than
I can throw you.
724
00:31:25,801 --> 00:31:28,220
I work for the one ethical
lobbying practice on the Hill,
725
00:31:28,304 --> 00:31:30,556
and I wind up defending
the poster child
726
00:31:30,639 --> 00:31:32,057
for the most morally bankrupt
727
00:31:32,141 --> 00:31:33,309
profession since
faith healing.
728
00:31:34,518 --> 00:31:35,519
729
00:31:37,479 --> 00:31:39,231
- Your car's downstairs.
730
00:31:39,315 --> 00:31:42,985
Go home, stare at the ceiling,
get ready to be crucified.
731
00:31:44,612 --> 00:31:46,155
I know I don't have
the most stellar record
732
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:47,323
in heeding your advice...
733
00:31:47,448 --> 00:31:48,991
Don't perjure yourself!
734
00:31:56,165 --> 00:31:58,125
Too bad things didn't
pan out with Elizabeth.
735
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:01,170
Oh, we have other options.
736
00:32:02,004 --> 00:32:03,839
What the hell is
"Amish chicken"?
737
00:32:03,964 --> 00:32:05,507
A marketing exercise?
738
00:32:05,841 --> 00:32:08,385
No, we'll just try and find
ourselves another lobbyist.
739
00:32:09,929 --> 00:32:12,264
I was talking about
the Amish chicken.
740
00:32:12,848 --> 00:32:13,849
Oh.
741
00:32:14,183 --> 00:32:15,601
She's your enemy now.
742
00:32:16,769 --> 00:32:18,604
I invited you here
because nobody
743
00:32:18,687 --> 00:32:20,856
is better placed
to neutralize her than us.
744
00:32:20,981 --> 00:32:22,024
We worked together for years.
745
00:32:22,816 --> 00:32:24,526
We know exactly
how she operates.
746
00:32:28,364 --> 00:32:29,865
Oh, that is just
a regular bird
747
00:32:29,949 --> 00:32:31,283
raised in Amish country,
by the way.
748
00:32:31,367 --> 00:32:32,368
Ah.
749
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,870
It tastes better because
it can't use Google, huh?
750
00:32:35,537 --> 00:32:36,705
751
00:32:38,874 --> 00:32:40,125
Look, there's over
five million of us.
752
00:32:40,209 --> 00:32:41,377
And we're armed.
753
00:32:42,169 --> 00:32:44,129
We've beaten
this kind of bill before,
754
00:32:44,213 --> 00:32:45,673
we'll beat it again.
755
00:32:46,298 --> 00:32:47,967
They'll make a lot of noise,
756
00:32:48,050 --> 00:32:51,220
they'll wave their banners,
but in the end
757
00:32:51,303 --> 00:32:52,513
it's so predictable.
758
00:32:53,013 --> 00:32:54,556
She's not predictable.
759
00:32:57,226 --> 00:32:59,228
She aims to surprise.
760
00:33:00,980 --> 00:33:02,231
She'll share things
with her team,
761
00:33:02,356 --> 00:33:03,482
but she won't
share everything.
762
00:33:04,066 --> 00:33:05,651
She'll have a plan
for certain people,
763
00:33:05,734 --> 00:33:07,486
but they won't know
until they're dropped
764
00:33:07,569 --> 00:33:08,696
right into the middle of it.
765
00:33:09,029 --> 00:33:10,823
There's always something
else going on with her.
766
00:33:10,906 --> 00:33:12,074
It's just how she works.
767
00:33:12,157 --> 00:33:14,201
We have a good idea
which Senators she'll go for
768
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,412
and we can get in first.
769
00:33:17,162 --> 00:33:18,747
And they're vulnerable
on other members
770
00:33:18,831 --> 00:33:19,832
they're already counting on.
771
00:33:19,915 --> 00:33:21,041
Badgley, Michigan.
772
00:33:21,834 --> 00:33:23,877
He can bring maybe six votes.
773
00:33:24,336 --> 00:33:26,255
We get to him,
it's a quick win.
774
00:33:31,844 --> 00:33:32,928
All right.
775
00:33:33,595 --> 00:33:35,097
Show me some tradecraft.
776
00:33:35,931 --> 00:33:38,100
- Filet mignon, rare.
- Same, well done.
777
00:33:38,767 --> 00:33:39,977
Well done too.
778
00:33:40,227 --> 00:33:41,353
The Arctic char.
779
00:33:41,603 --> 00:33:43,230
Amish chicken salad, please.
780
00:33:44,023 --> 00:33:45,941
781
00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:48,235
Excuse me.
782
00:33:51,530 --> 00:33:54,116
That kind of insight is
exactly why you're here.
783
00:33:55,617 --> 00:33:57,911
I'm sorry,
who closed him again?
784
00:34:16,388 --> 00:34:17,765
Who the hell are you?
785
00:34:18,390 --> 00:34:19,683
Evening, ma'am.
786
00:34:23,062 --> 00:34:24,813
What happened to
the usual guy? Mark.
787
00:34:26,148 --> 00:34:27,733
If that's his real name.
788
00:34:28,150 --> 00:34:29,735
Mark's moved on.
789
00:34:30,277 --> 00:34:31,487
Call me Forde.
790
00:34:32,780 --> 00:34:33,947
Is that your real name?
791
00:34:34,490 --> 00:34:35,574
Is to you.
792
00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:38,827
- How about you, gorgeous?
- Oh, God.
793
00:34:39,161 --> 00:34:41,163
You a politico, or one of
these corporate-types?
794
00:34:42,414 --> 00:34:44,541
What brings a fine lady
like you to room 904?
795
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,461
Not the conversation.
How much you had to drink?
796
00:34:48,629 --> 00:34:51,090
Well, a free minibar,
I'd say not nearly enough.
797
00:34:51,173 --> 00:34:52,841
You're not allowed
to smoke in here.
798
00:34:54,259 --> 00:34:55,677
You're not allowed
to buy company in here,
799
00:34:55,928 --> 00:34:57,262
yet here you are.
800
00:34:57,346 --> 00:34:58,680
Smoke is detectable.
801
00:34:59,014 --> 00:35:00,849
It could draw attention.
It is unprofessional.
802
00:35:00,974 --> 00:35:02,184
Okay.
803
00:35:02,935 --> 00:35:05,020
Corporate-type. Lawyer, maybe.
804
00:35:05,104 --> 00:35:06,355
If we're going to proceed,
805
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,023
I require
a certain standard of...
806
00:35:08,107 --> 00:35:09,316
Agency rules, lady.
807
00:35:09,775 --> 00:35:11,026
Payment in cash,
I'm the only one
808
00:35:11,110 --> 00:35:12,528
to know this little party
here ever happened.
809
00:35:13,153 --> 00:35:15,114
And that's with half a minibar
down my gullet.
810
00:35:18,659 --> 00:35:20,369
I understand if you were
looking for something else.
811
00:35:24,873 --> 00:35:26,250
You'll do fine.
812
00:35:27,835 --> 00:35:29,002
Let's get to the point.
813
00:35:29,711 --> 00:35:30,712
814
00:35:32,381 --> 00:35:33,632
All right.
815
00:35:35,050 --> 00:35:36,051
816
00:35:40,764 --> 00:35:42,558
Hey, I hope you guys don't
feel like you're slumming.
817
00:35:43,183 --> 00:35:44,560
I thought it'd be weirder.
818
00:35:44,643 --> 00:35:46,645
Bean bags,
couple swings, maybe.
819
00:35:46,728 --> 00:35:48,230
At least tell me you guys
have shower rooms.
820
00:35:48,355 --> 00:35:49,982
Cole Kravitz had shower rooms?
821
00:35:50,065 --> 00:35:51,066
Clients felt like
they needed one
822
00:35:51,191 --> 00:35:52,317
after 30 minutes with him.
823
00:35:52,401 --> 00:35:54,653
We had all the facilities,
and no time to use them.
824
00:35:54,736 --> 00:35:55,737
This'll do fine.
825
00:35:55,863 --> 00:35:57,614
The vending machine
downstairs is weird.
826
00:35:57,906 --> 00:35:58,991
Wouldn't give me my beverage
827
00:35:59,074 --> 00:36:00,576
until I told it my gender
and age range.
828
00:36:00,742 --> 00:36:02,161
The vending machine
company sells
829
00:36:02,244 --> 00:36:03,412
our personal details
to Big Advertising.
830
00:36:03,495 --> 00:36:05,330
- I already posted a complaint.
831
00:36:05,414 --> 00:36:06,582
It's okay, I just lied.
832
00:36:06,707 --> 00:36:08,250
You told it you were
an adult male?
833
00:36:08,375 --> 00:36:09,918
Why are you
so horrible to him?
834
00:36:10,002 --> 00:36:11,753
Jacobs just pulled
the Nutella Tax.
835
00:36:11,879 --> 00:36:13,422
- When did that happen?
- I just got it.
836
00:36:13,547 --> 00:36:15,507
The tax on palm oil?
You're the ones who killed it?
837
00:36:15,591 --> 00:36:16,675
Dead with the dodo.
838
00:36:16,758 --> 00:36:17,926
Along with how many
other unique species
839
00:36:18,051 --> 00:36:19,178
in the Indonesian rainforest?
840
00:36:19,261 --> 00:36:20,596
Not your greatest
analogy there.
841
00:36:21,221 --> 00:36:22,431
I guess it should
be up to them,
842
00:36:22,514 --> 00:36:24,183
I mean, it is, after all,
their country.
843
00:36:24,266 --> 00:36:26,185
Do you know how much pollution
their slashing and burning
844
00:36:26,268 --> 00:36:27,436
pumps into the atmosphere?
845
00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:30,355
Less than 0.2% of global
greenhouse emissions.
846
00:36:30,439 --> 00:36:32,608
- So, are the rumors true?
- Yes.
847
00:36:32,733 --> 00:36:34,276
Ross is really a woman.
848
00:36:34,776 --> 00:36:37,029
Is Sloane the personification
of an ice cube?
849
00:36:37,112 --> 00:36:38,530
She pees standing up.
850
00:36:38,614 --> 00:36:40,574
And, like...
I don't even do that.
851
00:36:40,782 --> 00:36:42,201
Do you think before you speak?
852
00:36:42,284 --> 00:36:43,785
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
853
00:36:43,911 --> 00:36:44,953
- Morning.
- Morning.
854
00:36:45,078 --> 00:36:47,623
I was thinking, perhaps,
we go around the table,
855
00:36:47,748 --> 00:36:48,957
introduce ourselves.
856
00:36:49,041 --> 00:36:50,626
Let's spare ourselves
the tedium.
857
00:36:50,709 --> 00:36:53,045
If you want to break the ice,
do it with insight.
858
00:36:53,128 --> 00:36:54,713
We're all here to ensure
safe passage
859
00:36:54,796 --> 00:36:56,965
of the Heaton-Harris Bill
into Federal law.
860
00:36:57,507 --> 00:36:58,800
How do we do it?
861
00:37:00,594 --> 00:37:01,929
Realistically, we don't.
862
00:37:02,971 --> 00:37:04,473
We fight as hard as we can,
863
00:37:04,598 --> 00:37:06,141
build a strong base
of support,
864
00:37:06,225 --> 00:37:07,392
so we have a better chance
865
00:37:07,476 --> 00:37:08,977
when they introduce
next year's Heaton-Harris,
866
00:37:09,061 --> 00:37:10,145
or the one after that.
867
00:37:10,229 --> 00:37:11,480
I didn't just move across town
868
00:37:11,605 --> 00:37:13,148
with the aim of losing
as slowly as possible.
869
00:37:13,232 --> 00:37:14,566
Name and seniority?
870
00:37:15,275 --> 00:37:17,319
Esme Manucharian, nine years.
871
00:37:17,444 --> 00:37:19,238
Manucharian,
I've heard that name.
872
00:37:19,738 --> 00:37:21,657
Esme's our authority
on gun control.
873
00:37:22,282 --> 00:37:23,325
When it comes
to facts and figures,
874
00:37:23,450 --> 00:37:24,493
she has no equal.
875
00:37:24,618 --> 00:37:25,994
You led the fight to preserve
876
00:37:26,119 --> 00:37:27,663
the concealed carry ban
in Illinois.
877
00:37:28,497 --> 00:37:29,915
Ultimately unsuccessfully,
but, yes.
878
00:37:31,083 --> 00:37:32,542
Okay, Esme.
Why are we going to lose?
879
00:37:33,502 --> 00:37:35,921
For every dollar Brady spends
on campaign contributions,
880
00:37:36,004 --> 00:37:37,297
you know how much
the gun lobby spends?
881
00:37:37,381 --> 00:37:38,423
- Thirty-eight.
- Thirty-eight.
882
00:37:39,675 --> 00:37:41,760
So, politicians bow
to money. But, why?
883
00:37:41,843 --> 00:37:43,929
It's not going into their
pocket, that'd be bribery.
884
00:37:44,012 --> 00:37:46,098
Like what the Indonesians
just did to Senator Jacobs?
885
00:37:46,181 --> 00:37:47,182
That was legal bribery
886
00:37:47,474 --> 00:37:49,017
for educational purposes.
But, yes.
887
00:37:49,101 --> 00:37:51,645
A senator's priority
isn't representing the people,
888
00:37:51,853 --> 00:37:53,146
it's keeping his ass
in office.
889
00:37:53,438 --> 00:37:54,439
That is so cynical.
890
00:37:54,523 --> 00:37:56,108
"Cynical" is a word
used by Pollyannas
891
00:37:56,191 --> 00:37:58,026
to denote an absence
of the naivety
892
00:37:58,151 --> 00:37:59,987
they so keenly exhibit.
893
00:38:00,362 --> 00:38:01,488
Wow. You settle in fast.
894
00:38:02,489 --> 00:38:06,118
If senators only care about
protecting their position,
895
00:38:06,493 --> 00:38:08,870
wouldn't that make them
slaves to public opinion?
896
00:38:08,996 --> 00:38:11,123
Polling data puts
a majority of Americans
897
00:38:11,206 --> 00:38:12,457
in favor of Heaton-Harris.
898
00:38:12,541 --> 00:38:14,668
And that's exactly why
you keep losing.
899
00:38:15,002 --> 00:38:16,712
Well, this is actually
our first crack at guns,
900
00:38:16,837 --> 00:38:17,879
but I take your point.
901
00:38:18,005 --> 00:38:19,214
What point?
902
00:38:19,339 --> 00:38:20,966
Public opinion is overrated.
903
00:38:21,049 --> 00:38:23,969
Midterm re-election rates
for senators was 82%.
904
00:38:24,052 --> 00:38:25,804
Voter turnout was 36.
905
00:38:25,887 --> 00:38:26,888
And I'll bet most of them were
906
00:38:27,014 --> 00:38:28,307
paid-up members
of the gun lobby.
907
00:38:28,390 --> 00:38:29,474
Thank you.
908
00:38:29,558 --> 00:38:31,310
Our opposition has created
a base of voters,
909
00:38:31,393 --> 00:38:32,894
vast and fanatical,
910
00:38:32,978 --> 00:38:34,229
who go out and vote
exclusively
911
00:38:34,354 --> 00:38:35,397
on the issue of guns.
912
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:36,565
How do we compete with that?
913
00:38:36,690 --> 00:38:38,233
We build our own base
of supporters,
914
00:38:38,317 --> 00:38:39,401
who demonstrate a willingness
915
00:38:39,484 --> 00:38:42,321
to get their asses into booths
and vote against guns.
916
00:38:42,404 --> 00:38:44,156
What's the best indicator
of voter intention?
917
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:45,324
- Money!
- Finance!
918
00:38:45,407 --> 00:38:46,742
That's our first prong.
919
00:38:46,825 --> 00:38:48,243
Grassroots action
920
00:38:48,327 --> 00:38:49,661
aimed squarely at
soliciting donations.
921
00:38:50,412 --> 00:38:52,873
Not names on a petition,
not clicks in cyberspace.
922
00:38:52,956 --> 00:38:54,124
Will they know
how much we're raising?
923
00:38:54,249 --> 00:38:56,251
Non-profits have to
report on their finances.
924
00:38:56,585 --> 00:38:58,003
And every
Congressional staffer
925
00:38:58,086 --> 00:38:59,254
watches filing day
like a hawk.
926
00:38:59,338 --> 00:39:00,589
While you're
out there hustling,
927
00:39:00,714 --> 00:39:02,174
I'll be working
influential senators
928
00:39:02,257 --> 00:39:03,925
who can deliver
their colleagues' votes.
929
00:39:04,009 --> 00:39:05,510
That's our second prong.
930
00:39:05,594 --> 00:39:07,179
Our third is to identify
931
00:39:07,262 --> 00:39:09,264
who holds sway
in target states.
932
00:39:09,389 --> 00:39:11,266
Employers, workers' groups.
933
00:39:11,350 --> 00:39:13,769
Don't just waltz into
a senator's office
934
00:39:13,852 --> 00:39:15,103
and make your case.
935
00:39:15,187 --> 00:39:16,813
Find out who they trust,
936
00:39:17,022 --> 00:39:19,524
who they can't afford
to piss off.
937
00:39:19,608 --> 00:39:22,486
Convince that person
to make your case.
938
00:39:23,445 --> 00:39:26,406
That is how we win.
939
00:39:32,704 --> 00:39:34,289
Not a driver?
940
00:39:34,831 --> 00:39:35,916
I can, but I don't.
941
00:39:36,708 --> 00:39:39,378
Well, you got further than me,
I don't even have a license.
942
00:39:39,461 --> 00:39:41,296
My bank account
and liberal conscience
943
00:39:41,380 --> 00:39:42,714
won't justify my own car.
944
00:39:43,965 --> 00:39:45,092
What's your excuse?
945
00:39:45,300 --> 00:39:47,135
To be honest, I suck at it.
946
00:39:47,469 --> 00:39:49,221
I took my test when I was 16.
947
00:39:49,304 --> 00:39:50,889
Only exam I ever failed.
948
00:39:51,139 --> 00:39:53,392
My instructor told me
I was reckless,
949
00:39:53,475 --> 00:39:55,310
I lacked due care
and attention.
950
00:39:55,811 --> 00:39:57,896
Knew then and there
I had a career in politics.
951
00:39:58,438 --> 00:39:59,606
952
00:40:00,607 --> 00:40:02,317
You weren't
messing around in there.
953
00:40:03,652 --> 00:40:04,820
Did you know someone?
954
00:40:06,238 --> 00:40:07,572
Someone who was
a victim of gun violence.
955
00:40:07,656 --> 00:40:09,157
No, why does everyone
assume that?
956
00:40:09,825 --> 00:40:11,159
Strong opinions, maybe?
957
00:40:11,284 --> 00:40:12,994
As if I can only see
the merits of an argument
958
00:40:13,078 --> 00:40:14,996
when I feel the effects
personally.
959
00:40:15,497 --> 00:40:18,250
There was a Congressman,
I don't remember his name,
960
00:40:18,333 --> 00:40:20,627
his whole career
he was against gay rights,
961
00:40:21,002 --> 00:40:23,672
only to do a complete U-turn
when his brother came out.
962
00:40:23,797 --> 00:40:26,341
What a well-reasoned
basis for an opinion.
963
00:40:26,675 --> 00:40:28,468
Give him a gavel,
put him in a courthouse.
964
00:40:28,677 --> 00:40:29,678
965
00:40:33,056 --> 00:40:34,057
Are you hungry?
966
00:40:40,814 --> 00:40:42,858
You eat here every night?
967
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:45,735
Pretty much.
Place never closes.
968
00:40:46,027 --> 00:40:47,362
How do you
not get bored of it?
969
00:40:48,822 --> 00:40:49,865
It's a necessity.
970
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:51,450
It's like asking if I get
bored of going to the toilet.
971
00:40:52,033 --> 00:40:53,076
972
00:40:53,535 --> 00:40:55,620
Okay, this is going to
sound alien to you,
973
00:40:55,704 --> 00:40:58,790
but food takes up an inordinate
amount of space in my head.
974
00:41:00,292 --> 00:41:01,543
How about guns?
975
00:41:04,129 --> 00:41:05,839
In doing my due diligence,
your résumé stood out.
976
00:41:06,590 --> 00:41:08,592
I noticed a lot of your work
pertains to firearms.
977
00:41:08,675 --> 00:41:10,469
I'm guessing that was
a conscious decision
978
00:41:10,552 --> 00:41:12,262
to steer things
in that direction.
979
00:41:13,930 --> 00:41:16,266
It's an issue I feel
strongly about.
980
00:41:20,770 --> 00:41:21,855
It's none of my business,
981
00:41:21,938 --> 00:41:23,231
but there was a gap
in your profile.
982
00:41:23,732 --> 00:41:25,650
Before Berkeley,
you attended high school
983
00:41:25,734 --> 00:41:27,402
in Bloomington, Indiana,
in the late '90s.
984
00:41:28,862 --> 00:41:30,906
The name of the school
isn't listed.
985
00:41:36,536 --> 00:41:37,996
Who else knows about this?
986
00:41:40,415 --> 00:41:42,501
Rodolfo. That's all.
987
00:41:45,295 --> 00:41:46,379
You can imagine
what I'm thinking.
988
00:41:46,463 --> 00:41:50,884
I'm sorry, Elizabeth,
but I earned my reputation.
989
00:41:52,260 --> 00:41:53,261
It didn't come from something
990
00:41:53,345 --> 00:41:54,387
that happened when
I was in high school.
991
00:41:54,679 --> 00:41:56,681
Even if my views did.
992
00:41:56,765 --> 00:41:58,308
Going public could even
weaken my standing.
993
00:41:58,391 --> 00:41:59,893
They'll say I'm too emotional.
994
00:42:01,102 --> 00:42:03,772
Anyway, the shooters
didn't even buy their guns.
995
00:42:04,856 --> 00:42:06,233
Heaton-Harris
wouldn't have made
996
00:42:06,316 --> 00:42:07,442
a shred of
difference that day.
997
00:42:08,652 --> 00:42:12,155
You fear a weakened standing
will damage your ability to effect change.
998
00:42:12,656 --> 00:42:14,491
But if acknowledging it
was the difference
999
00:42:14,574 --> 00:42:16,117
between winning and losing?
1000
00:42:19,829 --> 00:42:21,623
I'd appreciate it
if you just treated me
1001
00:42:21,706 --> 00:42:22,958
as one of the team.
1002
00:42:26,336 --> 00:42:28,505
A highly competent one,
I can tell.
1003
00:42:29,214 --> 00:42:30,340
We're lucky to have you.
1004
00:42:34,970 --> 00:42:36,054
Sixty is the magic number.
1005
00:42:36,137 --> 00:42:38,056
Sixty votes
breaks a filibuster.
1006
00:42:38,139 --> 00:42:39,766
So, the gun lobby
wins with 41?
1007
00:42:39,849 --> 00:42:41,351
They could win with fewer.
1008
00:42:41,434 --> 00:42:44,145
We need to hit 60.
Anything less doesn't cut it.
1009
00:42:44,312 --> 00:42:45,605
Fifty-nine doesn't cut it.
1010
00:42:46,273 --> 00:42:48,233
We need 60 senators
to show up and vote.
1011
00:42:48,650 --> 00:42:50,402
We don't get that,
they win, period.
1012
00:42:51,319 --> 00:42:52,529
As I was saying...
1013
00:42:52,904 --> 00:42:53,947
1014
00:42:54,739 --> 00:42:56,533
That by my reckoning,
the gun lobby
1015
00:42:56,616 --> 00:42:59,286
has 34 votes
pretty much locked.
1016
00:42:59,619 --> 00:43:00,870
And that's this side.
1017
00:43:01,329 --> 00:43:03,832
I'd say we have 44 locked
over here on this side.
1018
00:43:04,332 --> 00:43:06,876
That leaves 22
that are still in play.
1019
00:43:07,210 --> 00:43:09,504
These fine ladies and
gentlemen in the middle.
1020
00:43:09,838 --> 00:43:11,089
Heaton-Harris, provisionally,
1021
00:43:11,172 --> 00:43:13,174
makes it to the floor
in 84 days.
1022
00:43:13,925 --> 00:43:15,176
The good news is,
1023
00:43:15,260 --> 00:43:17,304
if we can lock 16,
we're over the line.
1024
00:43:17,554 --> 00:43:18,847
I'm sorry,
that's the good news?
1025
00:43:19,139 --> 00:43:20,682
We need 16 out of 22 votes?
1026
00:43:21,099 --> 00:43:22,851
That's like sitting an exam
where the passing grade is...
1027
00:43:23,018 --> 00:43:24,019
72%.
1028
00:43:24,185 --> 00:43:25,645
And the bad news
is that the gun lobby
1029
00:43:25,729 --> 00:43:27,230
is rich beyond
our wildest dreams?
1030
00:43:27,314 --> 00:43:28,315
There is that.
1031
00:43:28,398 --> 00:43:30,066
Or that it's not
a whole lot of time
1032
00:43:30,150 --> 00:43:32,027
to steal 16 votes from the
most powerful group in D.C.?
1033
00:43:32,277 --> 00:43:33,445
That, too.
1034
00:43:33,528 --> 00:43:35,864
What Ross is fumbling for is,
we need 16.
1035
00:43:36,197 --> 00:43:37,574
They only need seven.
1036
00:43:38,408 --> 00:43:39,451
Shit.
1037
00:43:41,328 --> 00:43:43,705
...and the man who did this
1038
00:43:43,788 --> 00:43:48,209
robbed us of their smiles,
of their laughter.
1039
00:43:50,337 --> 00:43:53,381
And I just can't accept
that we allowed it to happen.
1040
00:43:55,759 --> 00:44:00,513
Our beautiful girls,
and we could have stopped it.
1041
00:44:00,597 --> 00:44:01,848
We could have taken the gun
1042
00:44:01,931 --> 00:44:03,141
out of his hand
and my babies...
1043
00:44:03,224 --> 00:44:04,809
Jesus Christ.
1044
00:44:04,893 --> 00:44:05,894
We get the idea.
1045
00:44:07,062 --> 00:44:09,105
Brenda and Joel Patterson.
1046
00:44:09,189 --> 00:44:10,732
The shooting sparked
a new wave
1047
00:44:10,815 --> 00:44:12,442
of anti-gun sentiment
in Wisconsin.
1048
00:44:12,525 --> 00:44:14,110
And that was
more than a month ago.
1049
00:44:14,194 --> 00:44:15,236
It's not dying down.
1050
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,155
Brenda's become
a prominent figure
1051
00:44:17,238 --> 00:44:18,448
in the Mothers Demand
Action movement.
1052
00:44:19,032 --> 00:44:20,742
Public outrage
after a gun attack
1053
00:44:20,825 --> 00:44:23,578
lasts maybe
a week per casualty.
1054
00:44:23,662 --> 00:44:26,206
This whole Pattinson story
should be in the ground by now.
1055
00:44:26,289 --> 00:44:28,333
- Patterson.
- Huh?
1056
00:44:28,416 --> 00:44:30,460
Their name.
The Patterson family.
1057
00:44:30,543 --> 00:44:32,379
I don't give a shit if they're
the fucking Partridge Family.
1058
00:44:34,005 --> 00:44:35,256
This is her.
1059
00:44:35,340 --> 00:44:36,341
Sandford needs to know.
1060
00:44:36,675 --> 00:44:38,968
Our delivery must be tailored
for maximum impact.
1061
00:44:39,052 --> 00:44:42,055
Support for gun control is up
8% in the last two weeks.
1062
00:44:42,138 --> 00:44:43,973
Both Wisconsin senators
are vulnerable.
1063
00:44:44,057 --> 00:44:45,767
If they don't declare
for Heaton-Harris,
1064
00:44:45,850 --> 00:44:47,310
Kirkpatrick won't make it
through the fall,
1065
00:44:47,477 --> 00:44:48,603
and Wallace is toast
in two years...
1066
00:44:48,687 --> 00:44:50,105
Who's going to that
medical thing?
1067
00:44:52,273 --> 00:44:53,274
Senator Wallace.
1068
00:44:53,358 --> 00:44:54,984
He can deliver
two other moderates.
1069
00:44:55,068 --> 00:44:57,904
And sure as she was
born screaming,
1070
00:44:57,987 --> 00:45:00,657
she'll see that as her chance
to box them in.
1071
00:45:00,740 --> 00:45:02,492
No, Carlos,
that's unacceptable.
1072
00:45:02,575 --> 00:45:05,578
The media has to be there,
that's the whole point.
1073
00:45:05,662 --> 00:45:08,164
It has to be digitally stored
and ready to be trotted out
1074
00:45:08,248 --> 00:45:10,667
should he even think
about backing down.
1075
00:45:10,750 --> 00:45:12,502
I'm gonna send you a photo
of Clara Thomson.
1076
00:45:12,585 --> 00:45:14,003
She'll be front-left,
wearing a...
1077
00:45:14,087 --> 00:45:15,088
Clara, what are you wearing?
1078
00:45:15,171 --> 00:45:16,214
One-shoulder
black crepe dress.
1079
00:45:16,297 --> 00:45:18,133
A one-shoulder
black crepe dress.
1080
00:45:18,216 --> 00:45:20,135
If we're lucky, it'll be
the only one in the room.
1081
00:45:20,218 --> 00:45:21,386
Thanks, Carlos.
1082
00:45:21,469 --> 00:45:23,888
Hey, Alex, tell me
it's feasible that a doctor
1083
00:45:23,972 --> 00:45:26,057
wouldn't have time for all
this social media bullshit.
1084
00:45:26,182 --> 00:45:28,435
Yeah, if you're pulling
15-hour shifts, I guess.
1085
00:45:28,518 --> 00:45:29,644
Great.
1086
00:45:29,728 --> 00:45:30,729
But he'd be on
Doximity probably.
1087
00:45:31,563 --> 00:45:32,939
The Medical version
of LinkedIn.
1088
00:45:33,022 --> 00:45:34,858
Could you not have just
stopped when I said "great"?
1089
00:45:34,941 --> 00:45:36,359
Good morning.
1090
00:45:36,776 --> 00:45:37,777
Light reading?
1091
00:45:38,445 --> 00:45:40,697
Do you even know
what pulmonology is?
1092
00:45:40,780 --> 00:45:41,906
Yes, I do.
1093
00:45:42,532 --> 00:45:43,908
It's the study of pulmon.
1094
00:45:44,743 --> 00:45:46,578
Lungs are asymmetrical.
Right has three lobes, left two.
1095
00:45:46,661 --> 00:45:47,620
You know why?
1096
00:45:47,704 --> 00:45:48,747
Your heart needs
the real estate?
1097
00:45:48,997 --> 00:45:50,081
Bravo.
1098
00:45:50,165 --> 00:45:51,666
All right, everybody,
listen up!
1099
00:45:51,750 --> 00:45:52,917
Not a problem for you,
I should imagine.
1100
00:45:53,793 --> 00:45:56,671
What have they got? Come on!
Arguments and rebuttals.
1101
00:45:56,755 --> 00:45:58,173
Let's have it, wake up!
1102
00:45:59,257 --> 00:46:02,218
It's the first step toward a
national register of firearms.
1103
00:46:02,594 --> 00:46:03,636
Scare mongering.
1104
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:04,929
No one's even come close
to proposing that.
1105
00:46:05,013 --> 00:46:06,473
And if they did,
1106
00:46:06,556 --> 00:46:08,391
it would have its own day
in Congress. Next.
1107
00:46:09,225 --> 00:46:11,436
And it's two steps away
from confiscation.
1108
00:46:11,811 --> 00:46:13,688
The gun lobby's rhetoric
is based on the falsehood
1109
00:46:13,772 --> 00:46:16,775
that we want to take something
away from people. We don't.
1110
00:46:16,858 --> 00:46:18,151
We want to make it
more difficult
1111
00:46:18,234 --> 00:46:21,070
for dangerous people
to buy firearms.
1112
00:46:21,154 --> 00:46:22,530
If we can't burst
this fallacy,
1113
00:46:22,614 --> 00:46:23,990
we may as well go home.
1114
00:46:24,073 --> 00:46:25,658
Esme, get me a bio
on Wendy Furniss, please?
1115
00:46:25,742 --> 00:46:28,203
- Sure.
- Harwood Norton's CEO?
1116
00:46:28,286 --> 00:46:29,954
Mmm-hmm. Second largest
employer in Virginia.
1117
00:46:30,038 --> 00:46:31,331
Both senators are teetering,
1118
00:46:31,414 --> 00:46:33,124
but if I can get her
to reach out to them...
1119
00:46:33,374 --> 00:46:34,375
You don't see the irony
1120
00:46:34,459 --> 00:46:36,127
in asking the CEO
of a defense contractor
1121
00:46:36,211 --> 00:46:37,295
to advocate for a ban on guns?
1122
00:46:37,837 --> 00:46:38,838
We're not banning anything!
1123
00:46:38,922 --> 00:46:39,964
Jesus, you sound like
one of them.
1124
00:46:40,048 --> 00:46:41,174
I'm in character.
1125
00:46:41,257 --> 00:46:42,342
Next!
1126
00:46:42,425 --> 00:46:43,551
Uh, the new rules
will increase
1127
00:46:43,927 --> 00:46:45,220
wait times by two weeks.
1128
00:46:45,303 --> 00:46:46,429
Welcome to America,
1129
00:46:46,805 --> 00:46:48,306
where you'll wait
six months for an X-ray,
1130
00:46:48,389 --> 00:46:50,099
but, hey, you can buy an AR-15
1131
00:46:50,183 --> 00:46:51,893
- in five minutes flat.
1132
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:53,561
You going to be
that flippant in public?
1133
00:46:54,229 --> 00:46:55,814
Pussyfooting isn't memorable.
Sound bites are.
1134
00:46:55,897 --> 00:46:58,107
And the appropriate one
goes like this,
1135
00:46:58,191 --> 00:47:01,194
anyone that desperate
to get their hands on a gun
1136
00:47:01,277 --> 00:47:03,696
shouldn't be allowed
anywhere near one.
1137
00:47:03,780 --> 00:47:06,366
The total number of
MRI machines in Wisconsin...
1138
00:47:06,449 --> 00:47:08,618
If the good Senator
ever finishes this speech,
1139
00:47:08,701 --> 00:47:09,994
he will open it to the floor.
1140
00:47:10,078 --> 00:47:11,120
You'll be
question number three.
1141
00:47:11,704 --> 00:47:13,289
You think he'll go for it?
1142
00:47:13,581 --> 00:47:14,666
He knows the media is here,
1143
00:47:14,749 --> 00:47:16,751
won't risk being heckled
at his own fundraiser.
1144
00:47:16,835 --> 00:47:19,128
Back him into a corner,
and he'll have no choice.
1145
00:47:19,212 --> 00:47:21,047
...of an additional $2 million
1146
00:47:21,130 --> 00:47:23,800
for the purchase of
four brand-new machines
1147
00:47:23,883 --> 00:47:26,386
within the first year
of my next term.
1148
00:47:26,469 --> 00:47:28,221
- Thank you.
1149
00:47:28,304 --> 00:47:31,349
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
1150
00:47:31,683 --> 00:47:33,184
All right,
a few more questions
1151
00:47:33,268 --> 00:47:34,769
for the Senator,
then we'll wrap up.
1152
00:47:35,103 --> 00:47:36,396
Uh, yes, the lady in white.
1153
00:47:36,479 --> 00:47:39,691
Mr. Senator, I'm Chair of
the Westfield Center...
1154
00:47:40,525 --> 00:47:42,735
He was supposed to go to me third,
what's he doing?
1155
00:47:43,069 --> 00:47:44,737
Following orders.
1156
00:47:45,446 --> 00:47:47,115
Three tables behind you,
two to the right.
1157
00:47:47,782 --> 00:47:49,534
They've been tracking us
through Wisconsin.
1158
00:47:49,617 --> 00:47:51,286
They would have had everyone
on that list vetted.
1159
00:47:51,494 --> 00:47:52,912
You're blown.
1160
00:47:52,996 --> 00:47:54,289
- What do you mean?
1161
00:47:54,539 --> 00:47:56,958
I mean that it's time
for plan B.
1162
00:47:58,626 --> 00:48:03,214
And our final question
goes to Dr. Raj Amarasekara.
1163
00:48:03,298 --> 00:48:04,340
I hope I'm
pronouncing that right.
1164
00:48:05,049 --> 00:48:06,926
Of the Pulmonary
Associates of America.
1165
00:48:07,010 --> 00:48:08,261
Thank you.
1166
00:48:10,054 --> 00:48:11,097
Raj Amarasekara
is a working actor
1167
00:48:11,180 --> 00:48:12,599
named Matthew Kantaria.
1168
00:48:12,682 --> 00:48:14,559
They think he's about to
ask a benign question
1169
00:48:14,642 --> 00:48:15,685
about the
clean air initiative.
1170
00:48:16,144 --> 00:48:19,147
...it's a safe bet we'll see
three or four gunshot victims.
1171
00:48:19,856 --> 00:48:22,400
Some are kids, teenagers.
1172
00:48:23,484 --> 00:48:26,029
How do you intend to vote
on the Heaton-Harris Bill
1173
00:48:26,112 --> 00:48:28,239
when it's put before Congress?
1174
00:48:28,323 --> 00:48:29,365
1175
00:48:31,701 --> 00:48:33,369
Well...
1176
00:48:33,453 --> 00:48:36,080
As you have experienced, uh,
1177
00:48:37,165 --> 00:48:39,334
gun violence
is a real problem...
1178
00:48:39,626 --> 00:48:40,960
You decoyed me?
1179
00:48:41,044 --> 00:48:43,296
Raj Amarasekara has
personally plagiarized
1180
00:48:43,379 --> 00:48:46,549
seven research papers,
all available online.
1181
00:48:46,633 --> 00:48:48,009
He even has
a Doximity account.
1182
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,553
...financial burden
is the fact that
1183
00:48:50,637 --> 00:48:53,181
some of the victims
are the, um...
1184
00:48:53,681 --> 00:48:54,724
Kids.
1185
00:48:55,224 --> 00:48:57,769
- The young.
1186
00:48:57,852 --> 00:49:00,521
So, I think it's,
uh, first and foremost,
1187
00:49:00,605 --> 00:49:05,401
to put our sympathies with
the families of these victims.
1188
00:49:05,902 --> 00:49:07,111
1189
00:49:07,195 --> 00:49:10,615
But it's true, gun violence
puts an enormous strain
1190
00:49:10,698 --> 00:49:14,160
on our healthcare system
and its work force.
1191
00:49:14,869 --> 00:49:16,746
- Absolutely, yes.
1192
00:49:16,829 --> 00:49:19,874
That's why I intend to give
my whole-hearted support
1193
00:49:21,250 --> 00:49:22,752
to the Heaton-Harris Bill.
1194
00:49:22,835 --> 00:49:24,170
1195
00:49:24,253 --> 00:49:25,713
And that's a wrap.
1196
00:49:26,589 --> 00:49:29,634
Thank you.
Absolutely, thank you.
1197
00:49:39,268 --> 00:49:40,395
Who else does he bring?
1198
00:49:40,812 --> 00:49:42,522
Fascitelli and Garcia.
1199
00:49:43,606 --> 00:49:46,234
Hey, Esme, I have a surprise
for you on Wednesday.
1200
00:49:46,567 --> 00:49:48,194
We're going to
a new restaurant?
1201
00:49:48,528 --> 00:49:50,738
How about a Second Amendment
debate at NYU Law School?
1202
00:49:52,031 --> 00:49:53,574
Don't shout this
from the rooftops,
1203
00:49:53,908 --> 00:49:55,159
but I trust you
to do a better job
1204
00:49:55,243 --> 00:49:56,494
than anyone else on the team.
1205
00:49:56,577 --> 00:49:57,912
You can't make it?
1206
00:49:57,996 --> 00:50:00,331
I'm including myself
as part of the team.
1207
00:50:00,540 --> 00:50:01,874
I wasn't cool enough to relate
1208
00:50:01,958 --> 00:50:03,251
to college kids
when I was a college kid.
1209
00:50:04,377 --> 00:50:05,586
I'll forward you the details.
1210
00:50:10,216 --> 00:50:11,259
You again.
1211
00:50:11,342 --> 00:50:12,385
1212
00:50:13,011 --> 00:50:15,680
I called them and I
specifically asked for Mark.
1213
00:50:16,347 --> 00:50:18,099
And I specifically told you
he skipped town.
1214
00:50:18,808 --> 00:50:20,476
Well, what agency
did he move to?
1215
00:50:20,935 --> 00:50:22,311
How should I know?
1216
00:50:22,395 --> 00:50:23,563
- I ain't his parole officer.
1217
00:50:24,439 --> 00:50:25,565
He's in trouble?
1218
00:50:26,649 --> 00:50:27,734
I was kidding.
1219
00:50:30,486 --> 00:50:33,406
Aww, we had so much fun
the other night.
1220
00:50:36,075 --> 00:50:37,660
Well, you know
where the door is, lady.
1221
00:50:37,744 --> 00:50:38,870
Go run to your Mark.
1222
00:50:40,788 --> 00:50:42,457
1223
00:50:48,963 --> 00:50:51,049
1224
00:51:13,613 --> 00:51:15,198
1225
00:51:20,036 --> 00:51:21,579
I've got work to do tonight.
1226
00:51:24,832 --> 00:51:26,167
Big case?
1227
00:51:26,417 --> 00:51:28,211
Forde, human interaction
is an exchange.
1228
00:51:28,503 --> 00:51:29,962
My money for your...
1229
00:51:30,171 --> 00:51:31,172
Dick?
1230
00:51:31,297 --> 00:51:33,049
I was gonna say "skill set."
1231
00:51:33,591 --> 00:51:36,010
But that's the only exchange
I'm willing to make.
1232
00:51:36,552 --> 00:51:38,137
Now you sound like a banker.
1233
00:51:39,347 --> 00:51:40,765
I got to do prep anyways.
1234
00:51:40,848 --> 00:51:41,933
For what?
1235
00:51:42,391 --> 00:51:44,685
Another client,
tomorrow night.
1236
00:51:46,395 --> 00:51:47,939
You do prep?
1237
00:51:48,189 --> 00:51:49,190
For functions.
1238
00:51:49,941 --> 00:51:51,150
Believe it or not,
1239
00:51:51,692 --> 00:51:55,154
not everyone hires me
for my skill set.
1240
00:51:56,197 --> 00:51:57,698
Half my clients just
want me on their arm.
1241
00:51:58,157 --> 00:51:59,283
Some just want
someone to talk to
1242
00:51:59,367 --> 00:52:00,409
from a different neck
of the woods,
1243
00:52:00,493 --> 00:52:02,829
- who ain't gonna judge them.
- That is so pathetic.
1244
00:52:02,912 --> 00:52:04,038
Functions are different.
1245
00:52:04,831 --> 00:52:06,707
The agency gave me
a list of covers.
1246
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,711
Insurance exec, marketing guy.
1247
00:52:11,295 --> 00:52:12,296
Tomorrow is oil and gas.
1248
00:52:12,964 --> 00:52:14,090
I'll be seeing you.
1249
00:52:16,717 --> 00:52:18,511
I think you owe me
something more.
1250
00:52:18,594 --> 00:52:19,887
No, it's all there. Count it.
1251
00:52:20,263 --> 00:52:21,722
This covers my services.
1252
00:52:23,266 --> 00:52:24,642
But I just gave you
a whole lot of information
1253
00:52:24,725 --> 00:52:25,726
about my line of work.
1254
00:52:26,185 --> 00:52:27,270
On your principles
of exchange...
1255
00:52:27,353 --> 00:52:28,354
Oh, my God!
1256
00:52:28,437 --> 00:52:30,565
Okay, that was a voluntary
donation on your part.
1257
00:52:31,899 --> 00:52:34,569
I pay you so I can
imagine a life I chose
1258
00:52:34,652 --> 00:52:36,487
to forego in the pursuit
of my career.
1259
00:52:37,822 --> 00:52:38,990
So, why don't you
go out and get it?
1260
00:52:39,073 --> 00:52:40,158
It's not for me.
1261
00:52:40,241 --> 00:52:41,367
Not when I was
in my early 20s,
1262
00:52:41,450 --> 00:52:42,535
and sure as hell not now.
1263
00:52:43,161 --> 00:52:44,370
So, "no house you call home,
1264
00:52:44,453 --> 00:52:45,538
"no folks you call family,"
1265
00:52:45,621 --> 00:52:46,914
- sort of thing, huh?
- Uh-uh.
1266
00:52:46,998 --> 00:52:49,041
- You ever regret that?
- Not for a second.
1267
00:52:50,877 --> 00:52:52,170
At least now
we're peeling a layer.
1268
00:52:52,587 --> 00:52:55,298
And that is all my principles
of exchange will allow.
1269
00:52:56,048 --> 00:52:57,592
Goodbye, Forde.
1270
00:53:15,318 --> 00:53:16,319
1271
00:53:16,402 --> 00:53:17,570
If you're a terrorist,
1272
00:53:17,653 --> 00:53:19,739
or someone who shouldn't
be allowed on that plane,
1273
00:53:19,822 --> 00:53:21,324
which lane are you
going to walk through?
1274
00:53:21,407 --> 00:53:22,575
Yeah, well, obviously...
1275
00:53:22,658 --> 00:53:23,951
Thursday morning.
1276
00:53:24,035 --> 00:53:25,036
Okay, I'll hold.
1277
00:53:25,453 --> 00:53:27,872
- Lauren! Boston, Thursday!
- Got it!
1278
00:53:29,081 --> 00:53:31,751
I deleted every vestige
of my online existence.
1279
00:53:31,834 --> 00:53:32,960
You didn't replace it,
1280
00:53:33,044 --> 00:53:34,212
leaving a Clara-sized
hole in Google,
1281
00:53:34,295 --> 00:53:36,005
which they flagged
in due diligence.
1282
00:53:36,088 --> 00:53:37,381
I did replace it.
1283
00:53:37,590 --> 00:53:38,799
Esme!
1284
00:53:40,551 --> 00:53:43,054
Clara Thomson just returned
from a 2-year stint
1285
00:53:43,137 --> 00:53:45,181
with Médecins Sans Frontières.
It was solid.
1286
00:53:46,098 --> 00:53:49,268
Why didn't you tell me
about Raj...
1287
00:53:49,352 --> 00:53:50,686
Just call him Matthew.
1288
00:53:50,770 --> 00:53:52,188
I checked with Finance.
1289
00:53:52,980 --> 00:53:54,398
Your actor wasn't
paid from our account.
1290
00:53:54,482 --> 00:53:56,150
You ran him out
of your own pocket.
1291
00:53:57,652 --> 00:53:59,403
It's good practice
to keep your circle small.
1292
00:53:59,779 --> 00:54:01,072
In this town,
no matter where you are,
1293
00:54:01,155 --> 00:54:02,740
you're never more than
two feet away from a rat.
1294
00:54:04,951 --> 00:54:08,454
Hey! I want you on the podium
at the ARS dinner.
1295
00:54:09,121 --> 00:54:10,581
Wait, that's a huge deal.
1296
00:54:10,665 --> 00:54:11,666
You don't think
we should share
1297
00:54:11,749 --> 00:54:12,792
the public speaking a little?
1298
00:54:12,875 --> 00:54:14,543
And blow all the goodwill
you've racked up?
1299
00:54:14,627 --> 00:54:16,963
I'm not sure I'm comfortable
in the spotlight.
1300
00:54:17,046 --> 00:54:18,047
Doing all the press.
1301
00:54:18,130 --> 00:54:19,257
Get comfortable,
that ship has sailed.
1302
00:54:21,008 --> 00:54:23,010
Hey, yes. Thursday morning,
I'll be there.
1303
00:54:24,595 --> 00:54:26,013
Every day,
48 children or teens are shot.
1304
00:54:26,097 --> 00:54:27,598
That's not across
the world, folks,
1305
00:54:27,682 --> 00:54:29,100
that's right here in America.
1306
00:54:29,225 --> 00:54:30,434
We are joined right now
by a representative
1307
00:54:30,518 --> 00:54:31,644
from the Brady Campaign,
1308
00:54:31,894 --> 00:54:35,356
- Esme Manchurian.
- It's Manucharian.
1309
00:54:35,815 --> 00:54:38,609
Knocking on doors,
making house calls?
1310
00:54:40,236 --> 00:54:41,696
How long did it take you
to even get to this place?
1311
00:54:41,779 --> 00:54:43,030
Consider it a sign
of how important
1312
00:54:43,447 --> 00:54:44,740
it is that we get you
on board.
1313
00:54:45,032 --> 00:54:46,033
Why?
1314
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:47,743
In your long and
distinguished career,
1315
00:54:47,827 --> 00:54:49,912
you've done precisely
jack-shit for feminism.
1316
00:54:50,413 --> 00:54:51,789
Because gender
doesn't interest me.
1317
00:54:52,081 --> 00:54:54,208
The only thing
you're missing is a dick.
1318
00:54:54,292 --> 00:54:56,043
I think your
presence in the room
1319
00:54:56,127 --> 00:54:57,962
would be a great help
1320
00:54:58,045 --> 00:55:00,298
as I make our case
to Senator Hofland.
1321
00:55:00,381 --> 00:55:01,632
God willing,
we can help protect
1322
00:55:01,716 --> 00:55:04,552
our neighbors from the kind of tragedy
America has endured...
1323
00:55:04,635 --> 00:55:08,389
Esme... Manchurian.
1324
00:55:08,639 --> 00:55:09,890
Manucharian.
1325
00:55:11,267 --> 00:55:13,728
In this country,
nine women are shot
1326
00:55:13,894 --> 00:55:15,521
and killed by their intimate
partners every week.
1327
00:55:15,604 --> 00:55:18,399
The risk of homicide
goes up 500%...
1328
00:55:18,482 --> 00:55:20,735
Don't hurl stats at me,
I'm not a fucking journalist.
1329
00:55:21,986 --> 00:55:23,487
You think
I don't know all this?
1330
00:55:23,571 --> 00:55:24,613
Does your membership?
1331
00:55:24,697 --> 00:55:26,657
Because now would be
a great time to tell them.
1332
00:55:27,491 --> 00:55:29,160
Larsson and Parr have donated
1333
00:55:29,243 --> 00:55:30,536
millions of
their personal fortunes.
1334
00:55:30,619 --> 00:55:32,538
- Yeah.
- I can't go hat-in-hand for more.
1335
00:55:33,247 --> 00:55:34,373
Hey, Manchurian!
1336
00:55:34,457 --> 00:55:36,834
Mandel's on the brink,
I need conversational topics.
1337
00:55:36,917 --> 00:55:38,627
- What do you mean?
- Small talk.
1338
00:55:38,711 --> 00:55:40,963
Idle nonsense of no import
to anything.
1339
00:55:41,047 --> 00:55:42,965
You outsource
your social interactions?
1340
00:55:43,049 --> 00:55:45,301
Yeah. Interests,
hobbies... Kids!
1341
00:55:46,677 --> 00:55:47,720
There's no better way
to butter up a parent
1342
00:55:47,803 --> 00:55:49,221
than to tell him
how hot his kids are.
1343
00:55:49,305 --> 00:55:50,348
On it.
1344
00:55:50,431 --> 00:55:51,932
The last time we met,
your youngest was
1345
00:55:52,016 --> 00:55:53,976
knocking on the door
of the Ivy League.
1346
00:55:54,060 --> 00:55:55,269
- Yes.
- Logan, was it?
1347
00:55:55,353 --> 00:55:57,104
Christ! I can't even remember
that conversation.
1348
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,065
Mandy Hamlyn from the American
Nurses Association
1349
00:55:59,148 --> 00:56:00,149
- on line three!
- Ah!
1350
00:56:00,232 --> 00:56:01,609
I think there are
a great many on the Hill
1351
00:56:01,692 --> 00:56:03,652
who have become so accustomed
to your generous support,
1352
00:56:03,736 --> 00:56:05,613
it wouldn't hurt to give them
a short, sharp shock.
1353
00:56:06,405 --> 00:56:08,908
Your donors, don't ask
for more. Ask for less.
1354
00:56:08,991 --> 00:56:10,576
If you feel strongly
about Heaton-Harris,
1355
00:56:10,659 --> 00:56:11,827
you could do worse
1356
00:56:11,911 --> 00:56:13,454
than to pledge to cut ties
to any senator
1357
00:56:13,537 --> 00:56:14,705
who doesn't come out in favor.
1358
00:56:14,789 --> 00:56:16,749
So, what, we're
turning the screw,
1359
00:56:16,832 --> 00:56:18,626
and saving money
at the same time?
1360
00:56:19,126 --> 00:56:20,586
I don't want to
live in a society where there
1361
00:56:20,669 --> 00:56:22,505
is a new school shooting
every week!
1362
00:56:22,755 --> 00:56:24,006
1363
00:56:24,632 --> 00:56:27,426
That is why when put to vote,
1364
00:56:27,510 --> 00:56:29,929
I will be supporting
the Heaton-Harris Bill!
1365
00:56:33,349 --> 00:56:34,392
It came in anonymously,
1366
00:56:34,475 --> 00:56:35,684
but everyone's
thinking Bloomberg.
1367
00:56:35,768 --> 00:56:38,562
Five hundred grand?
That's over 12% of our budget!
1368
00:56:38,646 --> 00:56:39,688
If you were donating
that much,
1369
00:56:39,772 --> 00:56:40,856
why would you do it
anonymously?
1370
00:56:40,940 --> 00:56:41,941
Obvious reason.
1371
00:56:42,024 --> 00:56:44,402
- What? Privacy?
- No.
1372
00:56:44,485 --> 00:56:46,654
It makes you look noble
when you leak your identity.
1373
00:56:46,737 --> 00:56:49,073
Oh, my God.
Were you born that cynical?
1374
00:56:49,156 --> 00:56:51,117
That is just a word to
denote the absence...
1375
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:55,371
Of the naivety I so keenly
exhibit? Yeah, right.
1376
00:56:57,039 --> 00:56:59,708
Back on in three, people.
1377
00:56:59,792 --> 00:57:01,460
Since when
were you camera-shy?
1378
00:57:02,211 --> 00:57:04,046
What happened?
You find a wrinkle?
1379
00:57:04,130 --> 00:57:06,465
If it isn't
Bill Sandford's poodle.
1380
00:57:06,757 --> 00:57:08,467
Let me guess,
on a tight leash,
1381
00:57:08,551 --> 00:57:10,261
sniffing at his ass
for business?
1382
00:57:10,845 --> 00:57:12,096
If you weren't such a joke,
1383
00:57:12,179 --> 00:57:13,389
we'd already have
his business.
1384
00:57:13,973 --> 00:57:15,599
So how about this?
1385
00:57:15,683 --> 00:57:17,059
Give Mini-Me a day off,
1386
00:57:17,143 --> 00:57:19,395
and I'll give you
a shot at the title.
1387
00:57:19,478 --> 00:57:21,897
Live TV debate, you and me.
1388
00:57:23,149 --> 00:57:24,191
You must be desperate
1389
00:57:24,275 --> 00:57:25,276
if you're willing
to give me airtime.
1390
00:57:25,443 --> 00:57:26,694
I kick your bony ass
hard enough,
1391
00:57:26,777 --> 00:57:28,112
Bill Sandford will realize
1392
00:57:28,195 --> 00:57:29,321
why he came to us
in the first place.
1393
00:57:29,864 --> 00:57:31,866
Uh-uh. You need me strong
to make him worried.
1394
00:57:33,159 --> 00:57:35,661
You're not looking so strong
after a head-on with me.
1395
00:57:37,288 --> 00:57:39,373
All right. I'll grant you
a job interview
1396
00:57:39,457 --> 00:57:40,791
on national television.
1397
00:57:40,875 --> 00:57:43,461
You can show your master
what a big, tough dog you are.
1398
00:57:53,304 --> 00:57:54,346
What we're about to discuss
1399
00:57:54,430 --> 00:57:55,931
should only be
referred to in code
1400
00:57:56,015 --> 00:57:57,558
in the office and over e-mail.
1401
00:57:58,934 --> 00:58:00,936
My ex-employers aren't
beyond bugging and hacking.
1402
00:58:01,312 --> 00:58:03,189
You think our conference room
is wearing a wire?
1403
00:58:03,272 --> 00:58:04,732
We're gonna target
a senator from a state
1404
00:58:05,024 --> 00:58:06,734
we have zero right to swing.
1405
00:58:07,109 --> 00:58:08,277
Oh, please, God, don't say...
1406
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,488
Alberto Gomez,
Republican, Florida.
1407
00:58:10,946 --> 00:58:12,114
What?
1408
00:58:12,198 --> 00:58:13,532
I thought you were
gonna say Missouri.
1409
00:58:13,616 --> 00:58:14,658
Florida's preposterous.
1410
00:58:14,950 --> 00:58:16,035
I'm being optimistic.
1411
00:58:16,785 --> 00:58:18,245
Public opinion runs against
Heaton-Harris in Florida.
1412
00:58:18,787 --> 00:58:20,706
- Let's talk later.
- In the office?
1413
00:58:21,499 --> 00:58:24,084
How do I register my dissent?
By semaphore?
1414
00:58:24,293 --> 00:58:25,377
Alex, you're in charge
of ad banners,
1415
00:58:25,461 --> 00:58:26,962
you have a 2:00 at JWT.
1416
00:58:27,046 --> 00:58:28,756
I want two phone pitches.
1417
00:58:28,839 --> 00:58:30,257
Clara, Brian, Lauren,
you're one.
1418
00:58:30,341 --> 00:58:32,676
Cynthia, Esme, Franklin,
you're two.
1419
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,387
Ross, get stats to both.
Come on, get to it.
1420
00:58:40,184 --> 00:58:41,769
What the hell
are you thinking?
1421
00:58:41,852 --> 00:58:43,270
That you should
let me do my job.
1422
00:58:43,354 --> 00:58:44,730
This ain't Cole Kravitz,
damn it.
1423
00:58:45,523 --> 00:58:47,107
Our client's a non-profit,
1424
00:58:47,191 --> 00:58:48,984
not some cashed-up
conglomerate.
1425
00:58:49,652 --> 00:58:51,820
I'm hiding in the bushes
with my begging bowl,
1426
00:58:51,904 --> 00:58:53,697
waiting to leap out at anyone
who looks like money,
1427
00:58:53,781 --> 00:58:55,074
and you're getting ready
to set fire
1428
00:58:55,157 --> 00:58:57,409
to half a million dollars
on some hare-brained...
1429
00:58:59,787 --> 00:59:02,164
I mean this James Bond
shit's endearingly wacky,
1430
00:59:02,581 --> 00:59:04,291
but if you think you're
seriously going to get
1431
00:59:04,375 --> 00:59:06,210
any traction out of Florida,
you're way out.
1432
00:59:06,293 --> 00:59:09,129
Rodolfo, it was explicit
in your pitch to lure me here
1433
00:59:09,213 --> 00:59:10,589
that you held
a certain degree of trust
1434
00:59:10,673 --> 00:59:12,299
in my ability
to run this campaign.
1435
00:59:12,383 --> 00:59:13,801
George, it's me.
1436
00:59:13,884 --> 00:59:15,177
I know what I'm doing.
1437
00:59:15,261 --> 00:59:17,263
We need to talk about Florida.
1438
00:59:17,346 --> 00:59:19,098
And I don't do hare-brained.
1439
00:59:21,642 --> 00:59:23,143
1440
00:59:35,698 --> 00:59:37,199
Fucking A right.
1441
00:59:37,491 --> 00:59:39,827
From the way you been
kicking my ass all morning,
1442
00:59:39,910 --> 00:59:41,078
I'm starting to think
1443
00:59:41,161 --> 00:59:43,330
you invited yourself here
just to kick my ass.
1444
00:59:45,624 --> 00:59:48,002
I'm personally in favor
of Heaton-Harris.
1445
00:59:48,544 --> 00:59:51,255
I've publicly declared,
my voters are behind me.
1446
00:59:51,672 --> 00:59:54,967
Did you want to meet
just to kick my ass?
1447
00:59:55,634 --> 00:59:57,761
Look, you're sitting on six votes.
1448
00:59:58,387 --> 00:59:59,597
Sandford's not a punk,
1449
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,724
he knows the opposition's
counting on them.
1450
01:00:02,558 --> 01:00:04,184
He also knows
if they don't get them,
1451
01:00:04,268 --> 01:00:05,811
their campaign will be over.
1452
01:00:07,313 --> 01:00:08,689
So, what are you gonna do?
1453
01:00:08,981 --> 01:00:10,107
Walk into my club,
1454
01:00:10,190 --> 01:00:11,483
bend me over
a green baize table,
1455
01:00:11,567 --> 01:00:13,569
and give me the spiel
about freedom?
1456
01:00:14,820 --> 01:00:15,946
About how,
if the liberals get their way,
1457
01:00:16,030 --> 01:00:17,156
in a couple of hundred years,
1458
01:00:17,239 --> 01:00:18,824
the Second Amendment
will enshrine
1459
01:00:18,907 --> 01:00:20,492
our rights to bear
baseball bats?
1460
01:00:20,951 --> 01:00:22,661
No, that's the argument
you're gonna make
1461
01:00:22,745 --> 01:00:24,413
to your friends
in the Blue Dog Coalition
1462
01:00:24,496 --> 01:00:26,332
when you tell them
you're changing your position.
1463
01:00:26,999 --> 01:00:28,459
1464
01:00:30,502 --> 01:00:32,755
Bill Sandford's thinking about
backing a new candidate.
1465
01:00:33,756 --> 01:00:36,216
One of their own.
A real up-and-comer. Hispanic.
1466
01:00:36,717 --> 01:00:39,386
Got offers from
eight Ivy League schools.
1467
01:00:39,845 --> 01:00:41,096
Ivy League schools?
1468
01:00:41,847 --> 01:00:43,432
Have you seen
my approval ratings, Pat?
1469
01:00:43,515 --> 01:00:45,225
No, he's not running
against you.
1470
01:00:46,727 --> 01:00:47,895
He's running against your son.
1471
01:00:55,235 --> 01:00:57,071
The gun lobby wants
your support, Hank.
1472
01:00:59,907 --> 01:01:01,367
They know your boy's
running for Michigan.
1473
01:01:01,450 --> 01:01:02,826
They'll handpick an opponent.
1474
01:01:03,494 --> 01:01:04,912
Back him to the hilt.
1475
01:01:05,954 --> 01:01:07,706
I tried to talk Sandford
out of it, but...
1476
01:01:07,790 --> 01:01:08,916
Bullshit, Connors,
you probably
1477
01:01:08,999 --> 01:01:10,376
put him up to it,
you motherfucker.
1478
01:01:10,459 --> 01:01:11,835
About those approval ratings.
1479
01:01:13,754 --> 01:01:15,589
You can go either way.
1480
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,135
Quietly recant,
protect your son.
1481
01:01:21,220 --> 01:01:22,638
Sandford won't forget it.
1482
01:01:23,972 --> 01:01:26,642
You disappoint him...
1483
01:01:28,227 --> 01:01:29,770
He won't forget that, either.
1484
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:37,778
So, how was Pittsburgh?
1485
01:01:38,612 --> 01:01:40,030
What are you, a Fed?
1486
01:01:40,781 --> 01:01:43,283
The President of the Mid-Atlantic
Association of Women
1487
01:01:43,367 --> 01:01:45,703
in Law Enforcement called
to say thanks for lunch.
1488
01:01:47,287 --> 01:01:48,831
I wasn't aware they were
part of our plan.
1489
01:01:49,790 --> 01:01:50,916
It wasn't expensed.
1490
01:01:50,999 --> 01:01:52,292
It was a 30-minute lunch.
1491
01:01:52,376 --> 01:01:53,711
They're not
a part of our plan,
1492
01:01:53,794 --> 01:01:56,004
which is why
it wasn't expensed.
1493
01:01:56,130 --> 01:01:57,673
Am I not allowed
a social life?
1494
01:01:57,798 --> 01:01:58,966
I didn't know you had one.
1495
01:01:59,383 --> 01:02:00,801
As someone who has
her underlings
1496
01:02:00,884 --> 01:02:02,302
root for
conversational topics.
1497
01:02:02,386 --> 01:02:04,388
I maintain
a small circle of allies.
1498
01:02:04,471 --> 01:02:06,181
Uh-huh. Cops and nurses?
1499
01:02:06,682 --> 01:02:09,727
Well, I can provide a list if
you require full disclosure.
1500
01:02:10,561 --> 01:02:13,605
So, grand unveiling.
1501
01:02:14,732 --> 01:02:16,442
- You coming?
- We got a bigger problem.
1502
01:02:16,734 --> 01:02:18,402
While you've been jetting
around the country for lunch,
1503
01:02:18,485 --> 01:02:19,987
our opponents have been
doing their job.
1504
01:02:20,404 --> 01:02:22,364
Hank Badgley,
Chairman of the Blue Dog,
1505
01:02:22,489 --> 01:02:23,866
who controls the votes of...
1506
01:02:23,991 --> 01:02:26,326
Six Senators, I know who
he is. He's in our pocket.
1507
01:02:26,410 --> 01:02:27,995
Really? That what you think?
1508
01:02:29,037 --> 01:02:31,665
He was on board,
but he just did a 180.
1509
01:02:32,499 --> 01:02:34,126
Says he wants to wait and see.
1510
01:02:36,003 --> 01:02:37,671
"Wait and see"
is more like a 90.
1511
01:02:38,088 --> 01:02:39,923
We're chasing Senators
who are in play.
1512
01:02:40,007 --> 01:02:42,217
We can't afford to lose
seven votes we had locked.
1513
01:02:42,342 --> 01:02:43,594
We won't recover.
1514
01:02:43,886 --> 01:02:45,763
We have him on camera
pledging support?
1515
01:02:45,846 --> 01:02:46,847
Absolutely.
1516
01:02:47,431 --> 01:02:49,099
Then we'll have to
make him feel it.
1517
01:02:56,774 --> 01:02:58,066
Thank you.
1518
01:03:04,698 --> 01:03:07,618
Alex, these banners are good.
1519
01:03:08,577 --> 01:03:09,745
Could you say that again
1520
01:03:09,870 --> 01:03:11,079
and sound a little
less surprised?
1521
01:03:11,705 --> 01:03:13,415
Hold on, this can't be right.
1522
01:03:13,791 --> 01:03:15,959
- Senator Gomez...
- We're not going to Florida.
1523
01:03:17,169 --> 01:03:18,170
What?
1524
01:03:19,463 --> 01:03:20,547
Florida's out.
1525
01:03:22,007 --> 01:03:23,008
But you said that
we were going to Florida
1526
01:03:23,091 --> 01:03:24,092
to swing Gomez...
1527
01:03:24,176 --> 01:03:26,470
Everyone turn to Tab 9,
please.
1528
01:03:31,934 --> 01:03:33,519
I don't have
anything at Tab 9.
1529
01:03:47,449 --> 01:03:49,368
Security, lock down
Cynthia Green's desk.
1530
01:03:49,451 --> 01:03:51,078
Secure her files
and her hard drives,
1531
01:03:51,161 --> 01:03:52,412
and escort her
off the premises.
1532
01:03:53,747 --> 01:03:54,915
Your Blackberry, now.
1533
01:03:57,251 --> 01:03:58,627
Now!
1534
01:04:00,838 --> 01:04:01,964
Let's go.
1535
01:04:02,422 --> 01:04:03,757
He offered me
partnership track.
1536
01:04:04,007 --> 01:04:05,384
Good luck with that.
1537
01:04:05,926 --> 01:04:07,261
Clear the office.
1538
01:04:08,345 --> 01:04:09,763
Come on, come on, come on!
Everybody out.
1539
01:04:15,269 --> 01:04:16,520
I'll have the place
swept for taps.
1540
01:04:17,938 --> 01:04:19,648
Sounds like James Bond
shit to me.
1541
01:04:19,940 --> 01:04:21,483
We will talk about this later.
1542
01:04:24,111 --> 01:04:25,904
Come on, everybody,
clear the building!
1543
01:04:26,947 --> 01:04:28,949
Let's go! Out! Come on!
1544
01:04:40,460 --> 01:04:41,420
I can't believe the whole
1545
01:04:41,503 --> 01:04:43,338
Gomez-Florida thing
was a ruse.
1546
01:04:43,463 --> 01:04:45,340
We're coming out of
left field to take Colorado
1547
01:04:45,465 --> 01:04:48,093
before they figure out which
hole they got screwed in.
1548
01:04:48,176 --> 01:04:49,469
How could she do that?
1549
01:04:50,220 --> 01:04:51,930
How does someone
even think like that?
1550
01:04:52,014 --> 01:04:53,265
Maybe in her naivety,
1551
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:54,850
she figured it'd be good
for her career.
1552
01:04:57,394 --> 01:04:58,645
I wasn't talking
about Cynthia.
1553
01:05:13,660 --> 01:05:14,745
Morning.
1554
01:05:18,373 --> 01:05:19,625
Please take a seat.
1555
01:05:19,708 --> 01:05:21,376
We're not saying
it can't be done.
1556
01:05:21,835 --> 01:05:22,878
But it's risky.
1557
01:05:23,003 --> 01:05:25,130
- We only get one shot.
- Hey!
1558
01:05:27,424 --> 01:05:28,550
Were you followed?
1559
01:05:28,675 --> 01:05:29,718
Evidently.
1560
01:05:31,762 --> 01:05:33,013
Let him in.
1561
01:05:33,347 --> 01:05:34,348
Do you solemnly swear
1562
01:05:34,431 --> 01:05:35,432
that you will tell the truth,
1563
01:05:35,515 --> 01:05:37,309
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,
1564
01:05:37,392 --> 01:05:39,061
upon pains and penalties
of perjury?
1565
01:05:41,229 --> 01:05:42,689
I do.
1566
01:05:46,860 --> 01:05:48,445
State your full name, please.
1567
01:05:48,862 --> 01:05:50,238
Well, look at this.
1568
01:05:50,948 --> 01:05:52,741
Rodolfo Vittorio Schmidt.
1569
01:05:54,701 --> 01:05:57,704
I'm guessing this gear
ain't for tuning my '69 Chevy?
1570
01:05:58,372 --> 01:06:00,707
Rodolfo, my unofficial support team.
1571
01:06:01,959 --> 01:06:03,126
Big Sam.
1572
01:06:03,418 --> 01:06:04,628
Little Sam.
1573
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:07,756
During the time that you
worked alongside Miss Sloane,
1574
01:06:08,131 --> 01:06:09,925
did you hold any discussions
1575
01:06:10,050 --> 01:06:11,051
pertaining to the use
1576
01:06:11,134 --> 01:06:12,928
of illegal
surveillance techniques?
1577
01:06:16,223 --> 01:06:17,766
So, how big
is your organization?
1578
01:06:17,891 --> 01:06:20,519
Well, there are six of us,
four are out on assignment.
1579
01:06:21,061 --> 01:06:22,980
- And you're ex...
- NSA.
1580
01:06:24,147 --> 01:06:25,357
Badgley is flip-flopping.
1581
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:26,984
But, quickest way
to get him in line
1582
01:06:27,067 --> 01:06:28,360
is to mine for sordid details,
1583
01:06:28,443 --> 01:06:30,028
and then let him know
we're in possession of them.
1584
01:06:30,404 --> 01:06:33,573
Mr. Schmidt, did you?
1585
01:06:34,074 --> 01:06:35,659
Yes, Senator, we did.
1586
01:06:35,742 --> 01:06:37,786
And what means did they have
at their disposal
1587
01:06:37,911 --> 01:06:40,414
to carry out these
surveillance practices?
1588
01:06:40,497 --> 01:06:42,958
Standard 24-hour
video and audio surveillance,
1589
01:06:43,083 --> 01:06:44,626
cell phone and online
account hacking,
1590
01:06:45,085 --> 01:06:49,089
location tracking,
and, with our latest tech,
1591
01:06:49,631 --> 01:06:52,884
close-quarters audio,
anytime, anyplace.
1592
01:06:55,095 --> 01:06:56,763
You ever hear the expression
"Fly on the wall"?
1593
01:06:57,347 --> 01:06:59,391
Well, meet the cutting edge
in eavesdropping.
1594
01:07:00,934 --> 01:07:02,019
It's a cockroach.
1595
01:07:02,102 --> 01:07:03,895
Which can be retro-fitted
1596
01:07:03,979 --> 01:07:07,524
as a cybernetic
robe-roach with this.
1597
01:07:09,109 --> 01:07:11,403
We glue electrodes
to its antennae,
1598
01:07:11,486 --> 01:07:12,779
perforate the thorax,
1599
01:07:12,863 --> 01:07:14,865
and we can control
its movement remotely.
1600
01:07:14,948 --> 01:07:16,658
Don't call PETA, Schmidt.
1601
01:07:16,783 --> 01:07:18,243
These guys can
crawl under doors,
1602
01:07:18,326 --> 01:07:20,704
into crevices, bags,
completely undetected.
1603
01:07:21,288 --> 01:07:23,623
They can go weeks without food
and still be mobile.
1604
01:07:24,207 --> 01:07:27,836
And how did you react to
the possibility of all this?
1605
01:07:27,961 --> 01:07:30,881
I told her it was
mind-boggling, ingenious,
1606
01:07:30,964 --> 01:07:33,300
morally repugnant
and completely unacceptable.
1607
01:07:33,842 --> 01:07:35,052
Boo!
1608
01:07:35,135 --> 01:07:36,803
You're talking
about blackmailing
1609
01:07:36,887 --> 01:07:38,513
a United States Senator.
1610
01:07:39,890 --> 01:07:42,184
Have you any idea of the
damage if this ever came out?
1611
01:07:42,309 --> 01:07:44,561
No more than the damage done
if we don't get Badgley back.
1612
01:07:45,479 --> 01:07:47,230
Without prejudice
to the undoubtedly
1613
01:07:47,314 --> 01:07:48,774
stellar job that you guys do.
1614
01:07:49,733 --> 01:07:51,234
Our firm has certain standards
1615
01:07:51,318 --> 01:07:53,070
below which I'm not
prepared to stoop.
1616
01:07:55,155 --> 01:07:56,198
Let me out of here.
1617
01:07:57,157 --> 01:07:58,241
Schmidt.
1618
01:07:59,242 --> 01:08:00,535
Find another way.
1619
01:08:02,329 --> 01:08:03,497
1620
01:08:07,209 --> 01:08:08,668
It was a rude awakening
1621
01:08:08,752 --> 01:08:10,295
for Michigan Senator,
Hank Badgley, today
1622
01:08:11,004 --> 01:08:14,716
as he was tailed from his home
to his workplace by this...
1623
01:08:15,175 --> 01:08:16,551
What the fuck is that?
1624
01:08:16,676 --> 01:08:18,428
...organized by gun safety
campaigners
1625
01:08:18,512 --> 01:08:19,805
in response
to what they perceive
1626
01:08:19,888 --> 01:08:21,014
as a U-turn on his support...
1627
01:08:21,098 --> 01:08:24,559
Can you believe...
I do not fucking believe!
1628
01:08:24,684 --> 01:08:25,852
1629
01:08:25,936 --> 01:08:29,022
...in the shadow
of a giant rat.
1630
01:08:30,607 --> 01:08:33,235
It's on all of
the national news outlets.
1631
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:35,529
How the hell
did she manage that?
1632
01:08:35,612 --> 01:08:38,156
She didn't. They swing
left all on their own.
1633
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:39,741
It has its own Twitter feed.
1634
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:41,201
Huh?
1635
01:08:43,537 --> 01:08:44,830
The rat.
1636
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,791
Really, I think that
this whole rat business
1637
01:08:47,874 --> 01:08:50,627
is little more than an
unfortunate misunderstanding.
1638
01:08:51,044 --> 01:08:53,088
I was one of the first
members of the senate
1639
01:08:53,213 --> 01:08:55,382
to lend my support
to Heaton-Harris.
1640
01:08:55,465 --> 01:08:56,800
I've always maintained that
1641
01:08:56,883 --> 01:08:58,426
the Bill is integral
to public safety,
1642
01:08:58,552 --> 01:09:01,096
and my support for it
is unwavering.
1643
01:09:01,221 --> 01:09:03,140
Now, I sincerely hope that
1644
01:09:03,223 --> 01:09:04,891
we can get past
all this silliness...
1645
01:09:04,975 --> 01:09:06,226
Three more
Blue Dog Senators
1646
01:09:06,309 --> 01:09:08,478
have press conferences
scheduled for next week.
1647
01:09:08,562 --> 01:09:09,813
Keep hammering the point
1648
01:09:09,896 --> 01:09:11,898
that we're not arguing
for confiscation.
1649
01:09:11,982 --> 01:09:13,358
Heaton-Harris
is about stopping...
1650
01:09:13,441 --> 01:09:14,860
Criminals and psychopaths.
1651
01:09:14,943 --> 01:09:16,361
Yeah, I'm a pro
at this now, Liz.
1652
01:09:16,444 --> 01:09:18,238
I'll see you in there.
1653
01:09:19,072 --> 01:09:21,158
So you knew there was
a leak from when?
1654
01:09:21,241 --> 01:09:22,450
- Sorry?
- Cynthia.
1655
01:09:22,576 --> 01:09:24,828
When did you start to
suspect there was a leak?
1656
01:09:24,911 --> 01:09:26,705
Uh, after the UAPD fundraiser.
1657
01:09:26,788 --> 01:09:28,540
And you had her
followed by a PI?
1658
01:09:28,623 --> 01:09:30,292
- How did you know it was her?
1659
01:09:30,417 --> 01:09:31,710
Sorry?
1660
01:09:31,793 --> 01:09:33,837
The leak, you had
Cynthia watched.
1661
01:09:34,129 --> 01:09:35,589
How did you know it was her?
1662
01:09:36,298 --> 01:09:37,841
I didn't.
1663
01:09:39,259 --> 01:09:40,760
You had us all watched?
1664
01:09:41,761 --> 01:09:43,096
Howdy.
1665
01:09:44,097 --> 01:09:46,433
Cal Sneider,
banking and actuarial.
1666
01:09:47,934 --> 01:09:48,935
I'm sure we've
been introduced,
1667
01:09:49,102 --> 01:09:50,103
but your name escapes me.
1668
01:09:50,312 --> 01:09:51,688
I'm sorry, you have
the wrong person.
1669
01:09:51,980 --> 01:09:53,148
I'm pretty sure I don't.
1670
01:09:53,356 --> 01:09:54,816
Have a good memory for faces.
1671
01:09:55,275 --> 01:09:56,526
This one I wouldn't
readily forget.
1672
01:09:57,444 --> 01:09:59,112
Really, Mr. Sneider,
1673
01:09:59,529 --> 01:10:01,323
I've no idea
who you think I am.
1674
01:10:01,448 --> 01:10:02,824
Excuse me.
1675
01:10:11,333 --> 01:10:13,043
Uh-huh. You know
we're not really
1676
01:10:13,126 --> 01:10:14,377
supposed to be having
this conversation, right?
1677
01:10:14,628 --> 01:10:16,379
Half of Oregon
is protected Federal parkland.
1678
01:10:16,630 --> 01:10:18,048
They can't develop it.
1679
01:10:18,131 --> 01:10:19,799
So, state budgets
come from logging revenues.
1680
01:10:19,883 --> 01:10:20,884
- I got it...
- Liz?
1681
01:10:20,967 --> 01:10:22,469
Whatever clearing your head
looks like, this isn't it.
1682
01:10:23,470 --> 01:10:25,263
So, loggers are
a very influential group.
1683
01:10:25,513 --> 01:10:26,640
Excuse me!
1684
01:10:26,723 --> 01:10:28,475
Can someone have her
makeup done, too, please?
1685
01:10:28,558 --> 01:10:29,643
I'm not a part of this!
1686
01:10:29,726 --> 01:10:31,186
You're a public figure
in a room full of cameras.
1687
01:10:31,269 --> 01:10:32,395
Is that her?
1688
01:10:34,272 --> 01:10:35,273
Liz?
1689
01:10:35,815 --> 01:10:37,943
Hey, we have to get
Bryan on these loggers.
1690
01:10:38,026 --> 01:10:39,194
We're on top of
the goddamn loggers!
1691
01:10:39,277 --> 01:10:40,237
Just clear your head!
1692
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:41,321
One moment.
1693
01:10:41,488 --> 01:10:42,989
Clear your head,
like I told you.
1694
01:10:43,323 --> 01:10:44,407
Hello?
1695
01:10:47,077 --> 01:10:49,412
- Fine.
- Ms. Sloane, welcome.
1696
01:10:49,996 --> 01:10:52,249
Pat. Please, take a seat.
1697
01:10:52,832 --> 01:10:54,125
I know Friday's Filing Day
1698
01:10:54,209 --> 01:10:55,293
and your campaign
will be over,
1699
01:10:55,377 --> 01:10:56,378
but if you're thinking
I'm gonna go easy,
1700
01:10:56,503 --> 01:10:57,504
I can't do that.
1701
01:10:57,921 --> 01:11:00,590
This is live TV,
so no colorful language.
1702
01:11:00,674 --> 01:11:02,509
Bullshit job offers to my staff,
1703
01:11:02,592 --> 01:11:04,094
you've plumbed new depths.
1704
01:11:04,177 --> 01:11:05,804
A giant inflatable rodent?
Please.
1705
01:11:05,887 --> 01:11:07,097
You ruined that girl's career.
1706
01:11:07,180 --> 01:11:10,517
All right, shut up,
the both of you. Let's go!
1707
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:11,643
1708
01:11:15,730 --> 01:11:17,857
Hello, America,
I'm Jon O'Neill,
1709
01:11:17,941 --> 01:11:20,860
welcome to a special edition
of This Week In Washington.
1710
01:11:21,361 --> 01:11:23,822
Guns! More or Less?
1711
01:11:23,905 --> 01:11:26,783
There were 372
mass shootings last year,
1712
01:11:26,866 --> 01:11:28,410
64 school shootings,
1713
01:11:28,535 --> 01:11:31,413
and there are over 300
million guns in our country...
1714
01:11:31,705 --> 01:11:33,164
You used to
work with Connors?
1715
01:11:33,248 --> 01:11:34,457
Four years.
1716
01:11:34,541 --> 01:11:39,296
Foul-mouthed, unexpected,
and very effective.
1717
01:11:40,547 --> 01:11:43,008
If background checks
are to be of any use,
1718
01:11:43,091 --> 01:11:45,760
they should apply to
all gun sales, not just some.
1719
01:11:45,885 --> 01:11:48,096
Isn't that what Heaton-Harris
is proposing?
1720
01:11:48,221 --> 01:11:51,850
Precisely. The bill expands
the scope of gun regulation,
1721
01:11:51,933 --> 01:11:53,226
and it's yet another affront
1722
01:11:53,310 --> 01:11:55,061
to Americans'
Constitutional rights.
1723
01:11:55,145 --> 01:11:57,564
No, the bill closes
an absurd loophole
1724
01:11:57,647 --> 01:12:00,025
which allows people
on terrorist watch-lists
1725
01:12:00,108 --> 01:12:02,319
to buy guns without
any checks whatsoever.
1726
01:12:02,402 --> 01:12:04,362
It's an incursion
into individual liberty
1727
01:12:04,446 --> 01:12:05,989
by an all-powerful government...
1728
01:12:06,072 --> 01:12:08,575
- What, like drivers' licenses?
- Drivers' licenses?
1729
01:12:08,825 --> 01:12:10,285
It's illegal to operate a car
1730
01:12:10,410 --> 01:12:11,411
without going through rigorous
1731
01:12:11,494 --> 01:12:13,121
theoretical and practical
assessments.
1732
01:12:13,413 --> 01:12:15,498
- That's a clear constraint...
- Fugu chefs.
1733
01:12:15,582 --> 01:12:17,459
...on the freedom of
individuals to drive cars,
1734
01:12:17,584 --> 01:12:20,045
- or pilots to fly planes.
- Come on. Fugu chefs.
1735
01:12:20,128 --> 01:12:22,922
You know, in Japan,
chefs train for seven years
1736
01:12:23,006 --> 01:12:24,299
before they're
allowed to serve
1737
01:12:24,424 --> 01:12:25,425
a poisonous blowfish
called fugu.
1738
01:12:25,759 --> 01:12:26,801
Yes!
1739
01:12:26,926 --> 01:12:27,927
What does any of this
1740
01:12:28,011 --> 01:12:29,304
have to do with
background checks?
1741
01:12:29,429 --> 01:12:30,930
Is a fair question.
1742
01:12:31,014 --> 01:12:32,182
Does anyone in this room
1743
01:12:32,265 --> 01:12:33,975
think the government should
abolish drivers' licenses?
1744
01:12:34,684 --> 01:12:35,977
- That's absurd.
- Why?
1745
01:12:36,102 --> 01:12:38,271
They're a government incursion
into individual liberty.
1746
01:12:38,772 --> 01:12:40,815
We accept them because
they make sense.
1747
01:12:40,940 --> 01:12:42,525
The more dangerous
the machinery,
1748
01:12:42,609 --> 01:12:44,319
the more rigorous
the tests should be.
1749
01:12:44,444 --> 01:12:46,196
I think we can
extend our definition
1750
01:12:46,279 --> 01:12:48,990
of dangerous machinery
to semi-automatic firearms.
1751
01:12:49,115 --> 01:12:50,950
Except that the Second
Amendment to the Constitution
1752
01:12:51,034 --> 01:12:53,453
doesn't guarantee
the right to drive cars,
1753
01:12:53,536 --> 01:12:57,123
or operate machinery or serve
blowfish for that matter.
1754
01:12:57,207 --> 01:13:00,293
It guarantees the right
to keep and bear arms.
1755
01:13:00,877 --> 01:13:02,420
Perhaps you haven't
read it lately.
1756
01:13:02,504 --> 01:13:03,963
Nothing in the bill
1757
01:13:04,047 --> 01:13:06,925
infringes the rights of the
people to keep and bear arms.
1758
01:13:07,008 --> 01:13:08,426
The Second Amendment
was signed in a time
1759
01:13:08,510 --> 01:13:10,387
where the average
life expectancy was 38,
1760
01:13:10,470 --> 01:13:13,056
and it was common practice
for our Founding Fathers
1761
01:13:13,139 --> 01:13:16,601
to resolve their differences
at dawn in a gunfight.
1762
01:13:16,684 --> 01:13:19,646
What may have been perfectly
sensible in those alien times
1763
01:13:20,021 --> 01:13:22,232
is wholly inadequate to solve
the problems of the present.
1764
01:13:22,315 --> 01:13:24,192
That's not the rebuttal,
what's she doing?
1765
01:13:24,317 --> 01:13:25,652
The United States Constitution
1766
01:13:25,735 --> 01:13:27,278
has stood the test of time.
1767
01:13:27,362 --> 01:13:31,032
It's authored to confer
unimpeachable rights,
1768
01:13:31,157 --> 01:13:32,367
which don't change depending
1769
01:13:32,742 --> 01:13:34,452
on which way
the Wind's blowing.
1770
01:13:34,661 --> 01:13:36,413
It's so authored
with the specific intent
1771
01:13:36,496 --> 01:13:37,664
of keeping at bay
1772
01:13:37,747 --> 01:13:39,499
the Elizabeth Sloanes
of this world,
1773
01:13:39,582 --> 01:13:41,334
who wanna wipe their asses
with the Constitution...
1774
01:13:41,501 --> 01:13:42,669
Okay, let's...
1775
01:13:42,752 --> 01:13:44,295
...and replace it
with their own judgment,
1776
01:13:44,504 --> 01:13:45,880
because she knows better than
1777
01:13:46,005 --> 01:13:47,674
the Founding Fathers
of this great nation.
1778
01:13:48,007 --> 01:13:51,803
Nothing is unimpeachable,
not even the Constitution.
1779
01:13:51,886 --> 01:13:54,097
It's ironic that the very
statement of rights
1780
01:13:54,180 --> 01:13:55,682
you're so quick to invoke
1781
01:13:55,765 --> 01:13:57,684
is in fact an Amendment.
1782
01:13:58,017 --> 01:13:59,602
I may not
like it either, Elizabeth,
1783
01:14:00,186 --> 01:14:01,688
but it's the Second Amendment.
1784
01:14:01,771 --> 01:14:05,191
Comes right after freedom of
speech, religion, and press,
1785
01:14:05,275 --> 01:14:07,152
and somewhere before
freedom from search
1786
01:14:07,527 --> 01:14:09,070
and from having to testify
against yourself.
1787
01:14:09,446 --> 01:14:10,697
They're all sort of
bunched together.
1788
01:14:11,197 --> 01:14:12,407
It's called
the Bill of Rights.
1789
01:14:12,782 --> 01:14:14,701
- How do you get around that?
- We don't need to.
1790
01:14:14,951 --> 01:14:16,494
Supreme Court
already made it clear
1791
01:14:16,578 --> 01:14:18,121
that the right to own a gun
1792
01:14:18,204 --> 01:14:19,831
is subject to
lawful restriction.
1793
01:14:19,914 --> 01:14:21,499
One of those
is background checks.
1794
01:14:21,583 --> 01:14:24,711
Universal background checks
are an infringement.
1795
01:14:25,420 --> 01:14:27,297
What part of
"shall not be infringed"
1796
01:14:27,380 --> 01:14:28,590
don't you get?
1797
01:14:28,715 --> 01:14:31,634
I get that that's the weakest,
most mind-numbing retort
1798
01:14:31,926 --> 01:14:33,720
in your impoverished arsenal.
1799
01:14:33,887 --> 01:14:35,388
Sort of a last refuge
for those
1800
01:14:35,472 --> 01:14:36,598
with no real argument at all.
1801
01:14:36,723 --> 01:14:37,807
You're talking about
1802
01:14:37,891 --> 01:14:38,933
the United States Constitution.
1803
01:14:39,309 --> 01:14:41,686
If they could produce
a rational winning argument,
1804
01:14:41,769 --> 01:14:43,813
I'd gladly migrate
to their side,
1805
01:14:43,897 --> 01:14:46,774
but "because it says so
in the Constitution,
1806
01:14:46,900 --> 01:14:50,945
"the Bible, or my horoscope,"
it's not a winning argument!
1807
01:14:51,070 --> 01:14:52,113
It's a ripcord.
1808
01:14:52,238 --> 01:14:54,449
An intellectual equivalent
of a yellow,
1809
01:14:54,574 --> 01:14:57,494
pant-pissing wimp
cowering behind mommy's skirt.
1810
01:14:57,577 --> 01:15:00,079
- Why don't we bring this back.
- No, no, no. Let's not!
1811
01:15:00,163 --> 01:15:02,040
Why don't we ask
all the mothers out there
1812
01:15:02,123 --> 01:15:04,834
who lost their children
to an armed sociopath,
1813
01:15:04,918 --> 01:15:07,253
if they believe
in his unimpeachable
1814
01:15:07,337 --> 01:15:09,672
Constitutional right
to bear arms?
1815
01:15:09,756 --> 01:15:11,382
Why not ask the terrified girl
1816
01:15:11,466 --> 01:15:13,510
who locked herself
in a janitor's closet
1817
01:15:13,593 --> 01:15:14,802
at Bloomington High,
1818
01:15:14,928 --> 01:15:16,095
forced to listen
1819
01:15:16,179 --> 01:15:18,348
as her peers were
being massacred?
1820
01:15:18,973 --> 01:15:20,600
Go ahead, ask her!
1821
01:15:20,683 --> 01:15:22,977
Her name is Esme Manucharian.
1822
01:15:25,438 --> 01:15:26,439
She's standing right there!
1823
01:15:32,445 --> 01:15:34,030
Jesus Christ, Liz.
1824
01:15:35,114 --> 01:15:36,574
Okay, time out!
1825
01:15:36,658 --> 01:15:38,409
We're going to take a break,
and when we come back,
1826
01:15:39,452 --> 01:15:41,162
maybe these two
will stop playing
1827
01:15:41,287 --> 01:15:43,873
Patty Cake and
the gloves'll really come off.
1828
01:15:43,957 --> 01:15:45,542
Be right back!
1829
01:15:54,884 --> 01:15:56,219
1830
01:16:09,148 --> 01:16:10,775
I won't insult
your intelligence
1831
01:16:10,858 --> 01:16:12,652
by claiming that came out
in the heat of the moment.
1832
01:16:17,740 --> 01:16:19,200
How far back?
1833
01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:23,413
Once I started getting
used to all the media?
1834
01:16:26,374 --> 01:16:28,626
Okay. Day one.
1835
01:16:30,545 --> 01:16:31,588
Wow.
1836
01:16:37,010 --> 01:16:38,636
At dinner that night...
1837
01:16:40,930 --> 01:16:42,640
You asked me if I'd go public
1838
01:16:42,724 --> 01:16:45,184
if it was the difference
between victory and defeat.
1839
01:16:48,938 --> 01:16:50,231
What if I'd said no?
1840
01:16:51,024 --> 01:16:52,066
1841
01:16:52,191 --> 01:16:53,651
Would you still have done it?
1842
01:16:54,527 --> 01:16:55,862
Probably.
1843
01:16:57,113 --> 01:16:58,489
I was hired to win,
1844
01:16:58,948 --> 01:17:00,408
and I have a responsibility
1845
01:17:00,533 --> 01:17:02,160
to use whatever
resource I have.
1846
01:17:02,952 --> 01:17:04,454
The press we're going to
get from this,
1847
01:17:04,537 --> 01:17:06,414
it's practically a dereliction
of duty not to use it.
1848
01:17:06,539 --> 01:17:08,291
That's it? I'm a "resource"?
1849
01:17:08,374 --> 01:17:09,709
Professionally, yes.
1850
01:17:12,295 --> 01:17:15,173
I understand you have
feelings, and a life,
1851
01:17:15,256 --> 01:17:16,883
but I have no duty to them.
1852
01:17:18,217 --> 01:17:20,511
I have a duty to the cause,
and if the two conflict,
1853
01:17:20,595 --> 01:17:23,056
there will only
ever be one winner.
1854
01:17:26,309 --> 01:17:28,061
Well, hooray for
straight talk.
1855
01:17:30,146 --> 01:17:31,606
Okay.
1856
01:17:31,731 --> 01:17:34,817
Get ready, Esme.
Network wants a statement.
1857
01:17:34,901 --> 01:17:38,071
Re-apply your makeup.
We'll walk out arm-in-arm.
1858
01:17:38,154 --> 01:17:39,989
We'll be brief. No questions.
1859
01:17:40,823 --> 01:17:43,660
Tonight, we'll leave them
wanting more.
1860
01:17:49,248 --> 01:17:50,750
First of all,
1861
01:17:50,833 --> 01:17:52,877
I want to make it clear
that I have dedicated my life
1862
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:56,756
to gun safety issues because
the current system is broken.
1863
01:17:57,173 --> 01:17:58,508
That's a rational judgment.
1864
01:17:58,925 --> 01:18:00,259
Not an emotional one.
1865
01:18:04,931 --> 01:18:06,307
I am a survivor
1866
01:18:07,433 --> 01:18:10,436
of the Bloomington High School
massacre of 1998.
1867
01:18:12,105 --> 01:18:15,233
For years, I sought to hide
the pain and the trauma,
1868
01:18:15,316 --> 01:18:16,609
for fear of having to
relive it.
1869
01:18:17,777 --> 01:18:19,278
But I've come to realize
1870
01:18:20,279 --> 01:18:23,449
that the thousands of people
affected by gun violence
1871
01:18:23,533 --> 01:18:25,952
need to stand up
and be counted.
1872
01:18:27,453 --> 01:18:28,955
They need a representative
1873
01:18:29,622 --> 01:18:31,999
who can speak out
for what they have endured.
1874
01:18:32,625 --> 01:18:33,876
Let's call Sandford.
1875
01:18:34,293 --> 01:18:35,753
Someone who can relate
their experience...
1876
01:18:35,837 --> 01:18:37,171
There might be
life in this yet.
1877
01:18:37,296 --> 01:18:38,548
...to the public at large.
1878
01:19:14,167 --> 01:19:15,793
You're a piece of work,
Elizabeth.
1879
01:19:21,674 --> 01:19:23,384
If you want to
set yourself on fire
1880
01:19:24,010 --> 01:19:27,513
to service your need to win,
I won't protest, but Esme?
1881
01:19:29,432 --> 01:19:30,433
The end is my concern.
1882
01:19:30,516 --> 01:19:32,977
You liberal goody-goodies
can fret over the means.
1883
01:19:33,060 --> 01:19:34,520
- You need me.
- The end?
1884
01:19:34,896 --> 01:19:36,063
It disappeared over the Hill
1885
01:19:36,189 --> 01:19:38,107
when you cocked your leg
and pissed all over the flag!
1886
01:19:38,191 --> 01:19:41,152
Comparing the United States
Constitution to a horoscope?
1887
01:19:42,111 --> 01:19:44,280
That's the kind of shit
the gun lobby thrives on.
1888
01:19:45,782 --> 01:19:47,283
Or have you realized by now
we're going to lose anyway?
1889
01:19:47,366 --> 01:19:49,452
This is more important
than my career,
1890
01:19:49,535 --> 01:19:51,370
or Esme's unease
at fighting reporters
1891
01:19:51,454 --> 01:19:52,997
every time she has to
take out the trash.
1892
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:55,374
- You're out of control.
- We're not gonna lose.
1893
01:19:56,709 --> 01:19:58,002
1894
01:19:58,085 --> 01:19:59,337
What if I told you
1895
01:20:01,714 --> 01:20:03,382
this whole strategy
was a shell game?
1896
01:20:04,425 --> 01:20:08,221
For the benefit of the
Cynthia Greens of this firm.
1897
01:20:09,931 --> 01:20:11,140
What are you talking about?
1898
01:20:12,308 --> 01:20:13,810
Bill Sandford was right.
1899
01:20:14,894 --> 01:20:17,897
Women are the
gun lobby's blind spot.
1900
01:20:19,816 --> 01:20:22,610
A massive power base
that they don't speak to
1901
01:20:23,236 --> 01:20:24,695
and they can't control.
1902
01:20:25,571 --> 01:20:26,572
And?
1903
01:20:28,282 --> 01:20:30,284
Those strange excursions
on my itinerary?
1904
01:20:32,245 --> 01:20:35,623
Women's representative bodies,
feminist groups,
1905
01:20:36,457 --> 01:20:37,792
female CEOs.
1906
01:20:38,835 --> 01:20:40,336
I've talked as many as I could
1907
01:20:40,419 --> 01:20:42,129
into brow-beating
their membership
1908
01:20:42,255 --> 01:20:43,506
to donate to my PAC.
1909
01:20:43,589 --> 01:20:44,590
You have a PAC?
1910
01:20:46,342 --> 01:20:48,094
Bill Sandford's getting
a nasty surprise
1911
01:20:48,511 --> 01:20:49,595
come filing day.
1912
01:20:50,263 --> 01:20:51,430
How nasty are we talking?
1913
01:20:51,931 --> 01:20:54,725
Fifteen million from over
three million donors-nasty.
1914
01:20:56,352 --> 01:20:57,603
In one quarter?
1915
01:21:01,107 --> 01:21:02,984
- Actually, less.
1916
01:21:04,819 --> 01:21:06,696
- Unbelievable.
1917
01:21:09,824 --> 01:21:10,992
Why are you
telling me this now?
1918
01:21:12,493 --> 01:21:13,619
You kept this
from me all along,
1919
01:21:13,703 --> 01:21:14,829
and you're telling me tonight?
1920
01:21:14,954 --> 01:21:16,831
Oh, my God, I tell you
we're back in the game,
1921
01:21:16,956 --> 01:21:18,124
and all you can say is that?
1922
01:21:18,207 --> 01:21:20,001
You knew you were
gonna screw Esme tonight,
1923
01:21:20,126 --> 01:21:21,586
so you kept this from me
to blindside me
1924
01:21:21,669 --> 01:21:22,670
before I had a chance
to fire you.
1925
01:21:23,838 --> 01:21:26,132
You have unusual insight
for a "boutique" lobbyist.
1926
01:21:26,799 --> 01:21:28,342
You've been pulling
all the strings, all along.
1927
01:21:30,386 --> 01:21:31,721
Lobbying is about foresight.
1928
01:21:31,804 --> 01:21:34,098
You anticipate your opponent's
moves, you devise...
1929
01:21:34,515 --> 01:21:36,976
I am not your
fucking opponent!
1930
01:21:40,187 --> 01:21:42,732
Were you ever normal?
1931
01:21:43,232 --> 01:21:44,233
1932
01:21:44,525 --> 01:21:45,651
As a child?
1933
01:21:46,819 --> 01:21:49,280
Or were the twisted
thought processes in your mind
1934
01:21:49,363 --> 01:21:50,489
hard-wired in the womb?
1935
01:21:50,990 --> 01:21:52,575
Because I'm having
a really hard time
1936
01:21:53,492 --> 01:21:55,369
understanding how
somebody gets to this.
1937
01:21:56,329 --> 01:21:57,330
1938
01:22:00,333 --> 01:22:01,834
Guess I'm just
a piece of work.
1939
01:22:10,009 --> 01:22:11,385
I'll see you tomorrow.
1940
01:22:23,689 --> 01:22:24,690
1941
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:42,708
You're Madeline Elizabeth Sloane.
1942
01:22:43,542 --> 01:22:45,920
You work in government affairs
at a communications company.
1943
01:22:46,379 --> 01:22:47,713
Well googled.
1944
01:22:48,756 --> 01:22:50,883
So what was that?
At the fundraiser?
1945
01:22:51,884 --> 01:22:53,135
You pretended
like we're strangers.
1946
01:22:53,594 --> 01:22:54,929
What did you expect?
1947
01:22:56,847 --> 01:22:58,057
You all right?
1948
01:22:58,599 --> 01:22:59,600
Mmm...
1949
01:23:02,228 --> 01:23:04,313
The only person to call me
Madeline was my mother.
1950
01:23:06,565 --> 01:23:08,859
Government affairs
and communications
1951
01:23:08,943 --> 01:23:10,778
are just fancy words
for lobbying.
1952
01:23:11,404 --> 01:23:13,572
And lobbying's a fancy word
for what, exactly?
1953
01:23:13,698 --> 01:23:15,282
Outside this room,
we're strangers.
1954
01:23:16,450 --> 01:23:17,910
Those were the rules
of this engagement.
1955
01:23:18,035 --> 01:23:19,120
We were alone...
1956
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,163
In a public place.
1957
01:23:21,622 --> 01:23:23,416
I can't be associated
with you there.
1958
01:23:24,125 --> 01:23:25,918
At least one other person
knew who you were.
1959
01:23:26,919 --> 01:23:28,087
Who was she, anyway?
1960
01:23:28,796 --> 01:23:30,506
I never reveal
my clients. Ever.
1961
01:23:30,589 --> 01:23:32,758
You just, uh, pry into
their personal lives,
1962
01:23:32,883 --> 01:23:34,093
google for the truth.
1963
01:23:34,301 --> 01:23:36,095
Yeah, I hear you lobbyists
ain't so good with the truth.
1964
01:23:36,387 --> 01:23:37,763
Says the guy
with four identities,
1965
01:23:37,888 --> 01:23:38,931
who sleeps with
strangers for money?
1966
01:23:39,306 --> 01:23:41,350
I'm just surprised by what
a natural bullshitter you are.
1967
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:43,519
I grew up lying, Forde.
1968
01:23:43,602 --> 01:23:45,271
Didn't want to. I had to.
1969
01:23:45,896 --> 01:23:47,273
That's why I excel at it.
1970
01:23:48,441 --> 01:23:50,151
It's a skill I would've
happily traded
1971
01:23:50,276 --> 01:23:51,277
for a normal life.
1972
01:23:53,612 --> 01:23:55,072
Normal's overrated.
1973
01:24:11,756 --> 01:24:12,965
1974
01:24:37,490 --> 01:24:38,491
I'm sorry.
1975
01:24:39,408 --> 01:24:40,451
I'm sorry.
1976
01:24:43,287 --> 01:24:44,663
But I can't.
1977
01:24:45,623 --> 01:24:46,832
What's wrong?
1978
01:24:49,168 --> 01:24:50,169
1979
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:54,632
I'm sorry.
Forget about tonight.
1980
01:24:55,508 --> 01:24:57,259
Why? I do somethin'?
1981
01:24:57,343 --> 01:24:59,053
No, it's, um...
1982
01:25:00,679 --> 01:25:02,515
I'm not in
the right frame of mind.
1983
01:25:04,225 --> 01:25:05,518
Here.
1984
01:25:06,310 --> 01:25:08,854
- Easiest money you ever made.
- I didn't do anything.
1985
01:25:09,688 --> 01:25:12,608
Well, you showed up,
I wasted your time, so, yeah.
1986
01:25:13,150 --> 01:25:14,860
You know, we could just
sit and talk, and...
1987
01:25:14,985 --> 01:25:16,362
Take the fucking money,
Forde!
1988
01:25:22,910 --> 01:25:24,203
Get out, please.
1989
01:25:30,668 --> 01:25:32,086
Suit yourself.
1990
01:25:46,559 --> 01:25:47,560
1991
01:25:48,561 --> 01:25:49,770
Neumark.
1992
01:25:50,104 --> 01:25:51,772
- Milner.
- Two hands here, come on.
1993
01:25:51,897 --> 01:25:53,941
- Carlson...
- Wade Powell, Virginia.
1994
01:25:54,066 --> 01:25:55,067
Hackman's come over too.
1995
01:25:55,192 --> 01:25:57,278
We've lost Milner, Neumark,
Carlson, Hackman.
1996
01:25:57,403 --> 01:25:59,196
Adamou's chief of staff said
he's softening his position.
1997
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:00,948
- Alex?
- I'll soften his fuckin'...
1998
01:26:01,073 --> 01:26:02,449
Bill Sandford's on line 3.
1999
01:26:02,575 --> 01:26:03,993
Closing Adamou
right the fuck now.
2000
01:26:04,076 --> 01:26:05,077
2001
01:26:06,662 --> 01:26:07,705
She takes my own idea
2002
01:26:07,788 --> 01:26:08,956
and goes up
against us with it.
2003
01:26:09,081 --> 01:26:10,249
We did try
to warn you, Bill.
2004
01:26:10,958 --> 01:26:13,460
Fifteen million.
From three million donors.
2005
01:26:13,586 --> 01:26:14,753
In less than a quarter.
2006
01:26:14,879 --> 01:26:17,131
You stop her,
you stop Heaton-Harris.
2007
01:26:17,256 --> 01:26:18,591
We have to
make it personal now.
2008
01:26:18,716 --> 01:26:19,842
She becomes the story.
2009
01:26:20,092 --> 01:26:22,136
We can use our
media relationships, Bill,
2010
01:26:22,261 --> 01:26:23,429
put her on the defensive.
2011
01:26:23,554 --> 01:26:25,181
I don't just want her
on the defensive.
2012
01:26:25,472 --> 01:26:27,683
I don't just want her
off the campaign.
2013
01:26:27,975 --> 01:26:30,811
I want her to be the reason
that people think twice
2014
01:26:30,936 --> 01:26:33,480
before taking on the guardians
of the Second Amendment.
2015
01:26:34,148 --> 01:26:36,066
I want her career.
2016
01:26:38,652 --> 01:26:40,446
Hey, Alex, it's me.
I just landed.
2017
01:26:41,155 --> 01:26:42,948
Philadelphia was as good as
what we could have hoped for.
2018
01:26:43,490 --> 01:26:45,701
- So how are we doing?
- That's four to go, people.
2019
01:26:45,784 --> 01:26:47,244
2020
01:26:47,453 --> 01:26:48,829
You're kidding me.
2021
01:26:50,956 --> 01:26:52,708
Wow, that's amazing.
2022
01:26:52,791 --> 01:26:53,792
All right.
2023
01:26:53,876 --> 01:26:55,211
We're joined now
by Esme Manucharian.
2024
01:26:55,586 --> 01:26:57,087
Esme, thanks for joining us.
2025
01:26:57,171 --> 01:26:58,964
Would you say that
the gun debate is now
2026
01:26:59,089 --> 01:27:00,257
largely become
a women's issue?
2027
01:27:00,341 --> 01:27:02,009
You need only
look at the numbers
2028
01:27:02,134 --> 01:27:03,761
to see that gun safety
has become
2029
01:27:03,844 --> 01:27:05,429
a deciding issue
for American women.
2030
01:27:06,347 --> 01:27:08,057
If their representative
isn't listening,
2031
01:27:08,140 --> 01:27:09,934
they'll go to the polls
and elect someone who will.
2032
01:27:20,903 --> 01:27:22,112
What do you want?
2033
01:27:22,821 --> 01:27:24,073
I got 15 million to blow.
2034
01:27:25,532 --> 01:27:27,159
Lauren was going
through your letters.
2035
01:27:27,660 --> 01:27:30,162
Between the death threats and
the hate mail, she found this.
2036
01:27:31,664 --> 01:27:33,123
Pru Walsh
of
The Sentinel is doing
2037
01:27:33,207 --> 01:27:34,375
a feature on
the lobbying industry.
2038
01:27:34,500 --> 01:27:35,542
That means you.
2039
01:27:35,668 --> 01:27:37,503
Well, if she wants to meet me,
why did she send a letter?
2040
01:27:38,128 --> 01:27:39,546
Because she doesn't really
want to meet you.
2041
01:27:39,672 --> 01:27:40,923
She wants to say
she reached out to you
2042
01:27:41,006 --> 01:27:42,091
for an interview,
but didn't hear back.
2043
01:27:43,008 --> 01:27:44,009
It's a takedown.
2044
01:27:44,134 --> 01:27:45,719
Well, the least we can do
is disappoint her.
2045
01:27:47,346 --> 01:27:48,347
Set it up.
2046
01:27:49,390 --> 01:27:50,808
I've canceled your 10:00 a.m.
2047
01:27:50,891 --> 01:27:52,184
You're gonna see
our in-house attorney.
2048
01:27:53,185 --> 01:27:54,436
I don't believe
you two have met.
2049
01:27:56,397 --> 01:27:57,648
You know how
I feel about this.
2050
01:27:57,731 --> 01:27:58,983
I was against you
ever hiring her.
2051
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:01,568
Because your job is not
winning lobbying fights,
2052
01:28:01,860 --> 01:28:03,612
your job is
to stop us from getting...
2053
01:28:03,696 --> 01:28:04,905
2054
01:28:06,824 --> 01:28:08,951
Quite independently of her
being utterly contemptible.
2055
01:28:09,368 --> 01:28:10,786
What the hell
were you thinking?
2056
01:28:10,869 --> 01:28:12,246
You know, whatever it was,
2057
01:28:12,371 --> 01:28:14,164
I guess it seems
pretty stupid now.
2058
01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:17,167
Liz, meet your protection.
2059
01:28:28,595 --> 01:28:30,222
Daniel Posner, Head of Legal.
2060
01:28:30,347 --> 01:28:32,266
Liz Sloane,
contemptible liability.
2061
01:28:32,349 --> 01:28:33,559
And amateur lip-reader.
2062
01:28:35,102 --> 01:28:37,104
Whose idea were
the glass walls? Seriously?
2063
01:28:37,604 --> 01:28:38,689
2064
01:28:38,772 --> 01:28:40,566
Two TV slots tomorrow,
2065
01:28:40,733 --> 01:28:44,069
then a radio thing, and
finally I'm done in Illinois.
2066
01:28:44,570 --> 01:28:45,863
Where are you?
2067
01:28:45,946 --> 01:28:47,281
Gold Stone,
waiting for them to hurry up
2068
01:28:47,364 --> 01:28:48,449
and invent the food pill.
2069
01:28:48,907 --> 01:28:50,492
That may take a while.
2070
01:28:50,743 --> 01:28:53,329
And plotting to ensnare
our last four senators.
2071
01:28:53,579 --> 01:28:56,081
Fifty-six down, four to go.
We're actually doing... Oh!
2072
01:28:56,582 --> 01:28:58,834
- I'm sorry.
- I'm so sorry. My fault.
2073
01:29:02,588 --> 01:29:04,298
- Thanks. Thank you.
- Here you go.
2074
01:29:05,049 --> 01:29:06,050
Okay.
2075
01:29:08,427 --> 01:29:09,720
Sorry about that.
2076
01:29:09,803 --> 01:29:11,930
Remember that first day when
I asked how do we win,
2077
01:29:12,056 --> 01:29:13,766
and you said
"Realistically, we don't"?
2078
01:29:14,641 --> 01:29:16,435
I stand by every word of that.
2079
01:29:16,769 --> 01:29:17,853
Excuse me?
2080
01:29:18,228 --> 01:29:19,813
So you're going to downplay
the 15 million?
2081
01:29:19,938 --> 01:29:20,939
Yeah, 'cause
we can't sound like
2082
01:29:21,065 --> 01:29:23,275
we're bragging about
how much we're pulling in.
2083
01:29:24,610 --> 01:29:27,154
Senators link donations
to voting intention,
2084
01:29:27,279 --> 01:29:28,864
we can't say anything
that might stop...
2085
01:29:28,947 --> 01:29:30,324
You wanna take this, bitch?
2086
01:29:31,950 --> 01:29:32,951
Huh?
2087
01:29:34,328 --> 01:29:35,329
Esme, you're still there?
2088
01:29:35,829 --> 01:29:37,039
Come on.
2089
01:29:38,916 --> 01:29:40,084
Take it.
2090
01:29:41,919 --> 01:29:43,170
2091
01:29:44,338 --> 01:29:45,339
Esme? What the hell was that?
2092
01:29:46,131 --> 01:29:47,299
You been here before, right?
2093
01:29:48,092 --> 01:29:49,093
Esme?
2094
01:29:49,426 --> 01:29:50,719
- Look at me!
2095
01:29:51,428 --> 01:29:52,596
Esme?
2096
01:29:53,138 --> 01:29:54,556
Except I'm gonna
do it right this time.
2097
01:29:56,183 --> 01:29:57,267
2098
01:30:03,524 --> 01:30:05,109
2099
01:30:11,031 --> 01:30:12,491
2100
01:30:16,662 --> 01:30:17,913
I'm standing at the scene
2101
01:30:17,996 --> 01:30:19,248
of last night's shooting.
2102
01:30:19,331 --> 01:30:20,791
We understand
that the assailant
2103
01:30:21,125 --> 01:30:23,961
was targeting a leading figure
in the gun control movement,
2104
01:30:24,044 --> 01:30:26,380
and was then shot dead
by a civilian
2105
01:30:26,547 --> 01:30:29,007
carrying a registered,
concealed firearm.
2106
01:30:29,675 --> 01:30:32,386
The name of the vigilante
has yet to be revealed...
2107
01:30:33,679 --> 01:30:35,889
George?
2108
01:30:36,181 --> 01:30:37,516
You're watching the news?
2109
01:30:38,016 --> 01:30:39,685
Yeah, whole bunch of
Christmases
2110
01:30:39,810 --> 01:30:41,228
just came early
for Bill Sandford.
2111
01:30:42,020 --> 01:30:45,149
I'm headed to the airport.
Get ready to spend some money.
2112
01:30:46,358 --> 01:30:48,277
Police have confirmed his
identity as Frank McGill.
2113
01:30:49,027 --> 01:30:52,531
McGill was a legal owner
of a registered weapon.
2114
01:30:52,823 --> 01:30:54,867
Heaton-Harris wouldn't have
touched him.
2115
01:30:55,492 --> 01:30:56,910
But it might
have made it harder
2116
01:30:57,035 --> 01:30:58,370
for the other son of a bitch.
2117
01:30:58,495 --> 01:31:01,457
What do we know about him?
Where'd he get his piece?
2118
01:31:01,540 --> 01:31:03,584
Did he have an arsenal
stashed in his basement...
2119
01:31:04,710 --> 01:31:05,878
For the Second Amendment,
2120
01:31:06,003 --> 01:31:08,213
which guaranteed her right
to be protected
2121
01:31:08,338 --> 01:31:09,673
from a sick individual.
2122
01:31:09,756 --> 01:31:12,009
And most of all,
for Frank McGill.
2123
01:31:12,092 --> 01:31:15,304
Model citizen,
vigilant, responsible,
2124
01:31:15,387 --> 01:31:16,930
and his aim is true.
2125
01:31:36,700 --> 01:31:39,203
2126
01:31:46,543 --> 01:31:47,920
How are you doing?
2127
01:31:58,055 --> 01:31:59,264
You heading home?
2128
01:32:02,267 --> 01:32:03,810
You make a round-trip
from D.C.
2129
01:32:03,936 --> 01:32:05,270
to pin me
in a departure lounge?
2130
01:32:06,939 --> 01:32:08,649
So you can
check me off your list?
2131
01:32:12,277 --> 01:32:14,613
I betrayed your confidence.
I set you down this path.
2132
01:32:16,114 --> 01:32:17,616
"Don't worry, Liz,
it's not your fault."
2133
01:32:17,741 --> 01:32:19,117
Is that what you wanna hear?
2134
01:32:20,244 --> 01:32:21,870
"How could you
possibly have known?"
2135
01:32:23,664 --> 01:32:24,998
You're not gonna get it.
2136
01:32:26,959 --> 01:32:28,293
He wanted to kill me.
2137
01:32:36,468 --> 01:32:38,845
I didn't know
where the line was, Esme.
2138
01:32:45,143 --> 01:32:47,980
I never, never know
where the line is.
2139
01:32:50,816 --> 01:32:51,817
2140
01:32:57,322 --> 01:32:58,740
Obviously,
take all the time you want.
2141
01:32:59,157 --> 01:33:00,200
And when you're ready,
2142
01:33:00,325 --> 01:33:01,618
we'd love to have you
back on the campaign.
2143
01:33:02,869 --> 01:33:04,121
Your own terms.
2144
01:33:04,204 --> 01:33:05,455
No media, you can work
behind the scenes.
2145
01:33:09,001 --> 01:33:10,460
If you don't want
to work with me,
2146
01:33:12,671 --> 01:33:14,089
I'll resign from the campaign.
2147
01:33:16,633 --> 01:33:18,010
If that's what you want.
2148
01:33:18,719 --> 01:33:20,846
Is that your move
to get me back at my desk?
2149
01:33:22,347 --> 01:33:23,765
You want me
in front of a camera
2150
01:33:23,849 --> 01:33:25,142
to counter Frank McGill?
2151
01:33:30,856 --> 01:33:34,359
It even crossed my mind
that this was all you.
2152
01:33:35,986 --> 01:33:37,237
You just didn't account
2153
01:33:37,362 --> 01:33:38,822
for an armed civilian
right behind me.
2154
01:33:40,198 --> 01:33:41,158
Esme...
2155
01:33:41,241 --> 01:33:42,743
I'll keep fighting, Elizabeth.
2156
01:33:43,910 --> 01:33:45,370
Wherever I can
make a difference.
2157
01:33:47,331 --> 01:33:50,250
But as far as possible
away from you.
2158
01:33:54,379 --> 01:33:56,089
You crossed the line
when you stopped
2159
01:33:56,214 --> 01:33:57,382
treating people with respect.
2160
01:33:58,884 --> 01:34:00,135
You're smart enough
to know that.
2161
01:34:01,887 --> 01:34:03,055
You just don't care.
2162
01:34:08,894 --> 01:34:10,520
Thank you, thank you.
Welcome back.
2163
01:34:11,063 --> 01:34:12,397
Our next guest this morning is
2164
01:34:12,522 --> 01:34:13,649
the kind of guy
you'd want to have around
2165
01:34:13,732 --> 01:34:15,567
when you're walking home
from work one night
2166
01:34:15,776 --> 01:34:17,694
and some dude sticks
a gun in your face.
2167
01:34:17,778 --> 01:34:18,904
After his military career,
2168
01:34:19,029 --> 01:34:20,656
McGill worked
as a commercial pilot...
2169
01:34:20,739 --> 01:34:22,532
Let's face it,
folks, the streets ain't safe.
2170
01:34:22,616 --> 01:34:24,326
And if it wasn't for
the courage, bravery,
2171
01:34:24,409 --> 01:34:26,495
and damn fine aim
of our next guest,
2172
01:34:27,704 --> 01:34:30,082
we'd be reflecting
on yet another tragedy.
2173
01:34:30,457 --> 01:34:32,250
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome
2174
01:34:32,376 --> 01:34:34,961
the man of the moment,
Frank McGill.
2175
01:34:35,921 --> 01:34:37,130
2176
01:34:38,215 --> 01:34:41,677
So, Frank McGill,
all-American hero.
2177
01:34:41,927 --> 01:34:43,512
Not at all.
An ordinary guy
2178
01:34:43,595 --> 01:34:45,138
in the right place
at the right time.
2179
01:34:45,263 --> 01:34:46,682
With a 9 milli. under his belt.
2180
01:34:47,432 --> 01:34:51,353
I'm curious. The person whose
life you saved once campaigned
2181
01:34:51,436 --> 01:34:53,689
for a ban on concealed carry.
2182
01:34:53,772 --> 01:34:55,273
How do you feel about that?
2183
01:34:55,399 --> 01:34:57,442
I respectfully disagree
with those views.
2184
01:34:57,567 --> 01:34:59,319
But the young lady is
entitled to her opinion
2185
01:34:59,653 --> 01:35:01,321
and nobody should be
attacking her for that,
2186
01:35:01,780 --> 01:35:03,156
much less holding her
at gunpoint.
2187
01:35:04,116 --> 01:35:05,784
McGill's a gift from God.
2188
01:35:07,452 --> 01:35:08,954
But it won't last forever.
2189
01:35:09,955 --> 01:35:11,540
We're looking to parlay that
2190
01:35:11,623 --> 01:35:13,291
into a closer examination
of Sloane.
2191
01:35:13,500 --> 01:35:15,460
I'm thinking of
a Congressional hearing
2192
01:35:15,585 --> 01:35:19,089
into her unorthodox
lobbying practices.
2193
01:35:20,424 --> 01:35:23,969
I'm sure we can find a senator
who may be open to the idea.
2194
01:35:24,469 --> 01:35:25,971
You want to talk trash
about her in the press,
2195
01:35:26,096 --> 01:35:27,055
that's one thing.
2196
01:35:27,139 --> 01:35:28,890
A Congressional hearing
requires
2197
01:35:28,974 --> 01:35:31,601
a convincing allegation
of impropriety.
2198
01:35:31,685 --> 01:35:34,187
I'd give my left nut to drag
her rep through the dirt,
2199
01:35:34,312 --> 01:35:35,605
but you're not gonna get it.
2200
01:35:35,689 --> 01:35:37,566
She's a CYA specialist.
2201
01:35:38,608 --> 01:35:40,986
I've never met
anyone so pedantic...
2202
01:35:41,111 --> 01:35:42,487
Start an inquisition.
2203
01:35:43,989 --> 01:35:46,616
Let's see how well-covered
her ass really is.
2204
01:35:49,578 --> 01:35:50,662
Hi.
2205
01:35:52,205 --> 01:35:54,040
Pru Walsh. Thanks so much
for coming over.
2206
01:35:54,291 --> 01:35:55,751
This is Mike Gordon
from our legal department.
2207
01:35:56,501 --> 01:35:57,711
Daniel Posner from ours.
2208
01:35:58,044 --> 01:36:00,130
Miss Sloane,
you're at the forefront
2209
01:36:00,213 --> 01:36:02,382
of an industry
with a terrible reputation.
2210
01:36:02,674 --> 01:36:03,842
Do you think that's deserved?
2211
01:36:05,802 --> 01:36:07,262
The only reason this bill
wasn't passed decades ago
2212
01:36:07,345 --> 01:36:08,805
is because of the power
of special interests.
2213
01:36:09,222 --> 01:36:10,682
When a lobbyist
raises finance...
2214
01:36:11,183 --> 01:36:12,476
We haven't heard
from Esme Manucharian
2215
01:36:12,559 --> 01:36:14,936
since the attack.
Are you in contact with her?
2216
01:36:16,021 --> 01:36:17,439
That's a private matter.
2217
01:36:17,689 --> 01:36:18,815
I think what's important
to remember...
2218
01:36:19,149 --> 01:36:20,650
So have you
talked to her at all?
2219
01:36:21,067 --> 01:36:23,361
What is important to remember
here is that Frank McGill
2220
01:36:23,653 --> 01:36:25,280
is exactly
the kind of law-abiding,
2221
01:36:25,697 --> 01:36:27,073
responsible gun owner
2222
01:36:27,199 --> 01:36:29,201
whose rights the
Heaton-Harris Bill protects.
2223
01:36:29,326 --> 01:36:30,702
Do you feel any guilt
about what happened?
2224
01:36:31,328 --> 01:36:32,537
Why would I feel guilt?
2225
01:36:32,871 --> 01:36:34,915
You made Esme the face
of your campaign.
2226
01:36:35,207 --> 01:36:36,583
You thrust her
into the limelight
2227
01:36:36,666 --> 01:36:37,793
that night on the debate.
2228
01:36:37,876 --> 01:36:39,419
- I'm not talking about this.
- You don't have to.
2229
01:36:39,544 --> 01:36:40,504
Did she know
that you were going to
2230
01:36:40,587 --> 01:36:42,547
out her on national TV?
Did she agree to that?
2231
01:36:42,839 --> 01:36:45,258
Why not report that
the majority of gun owners
2232
01:36:45,383 --> 01:36:47,135
favor more extensive
background checks?
2233
01:36:47,219 --> 01:36:48,470
She probably went
her entire career
2234
01:36:48,553 --> 01:36:49,679
trying to keep that
a carefully guarded secret.
2235
01:36:49,763 --> 01:36:50,889
That the gun lobby's
fear-mongering rhetoric
2236
01:36:50,972 --> 01:36:52,599
is trying to paint Heaton-Harris
into something it's not.
2237
01:36:53,725 --> 01:36:55,227
Do you think
that your little revelation
2238
01:36:55,685 --> 01:36:57,270
is what made her a target?
2239
01:36:57,395 --> 01:36:58,438
It's clear Miss Sloane
2240
01:36:58,563 --> 01:36:59,648
doesn't wish to discuss
Ms. Manucharian.
2241
01:36:59,731 --> 01:37:00,732
What's really clear is that
2242
01:37:00,899 --> 01:37:02,067
your article's
already written.
2243
01:37:02,275 --> 01:37:03,318
Don't respond to that.
2244
01:37:03,401 --> 01:37:04,611
That's purely speculative
on your part.
2245
01:37:05,070 --> 01:37:06,947
- Who's controlling you?
- Let's not do this.
2246
01:37:07,072 --> 01:37:08,698
Look, the fact is,
you have no way of knowing
2247
01:37:08,907 --> 01:37:10,116
what Ms. Walsh
intends to do...
2248
01:37:10,242 --> 01:37:11,493
The fact is that
you have no interest
2249
01:37:11,576 --> 01:37:12,828
in what Miss Sloane
has to say.
2250
01:37:13,203 --> 01:37:15,163
- And how would you know that?
- Your Dictaphone's off.
2251
01:37:20,752 --> 01:37:22,087
Takedown.
2252
01:37:22,420 --> 01:37:23,463
It could've been worse.
2253
01:37:23,922 --> 01:37:26,007
I've got four
factual errors so far.
2254
01:37:26,550 --> 01:37:27,801
This is not good, Liz.
2255
01:37:28,093 --> 01:37:29,386
Dump it in the recycling.
2256
01:37:29,469 --> 01:37:30,679
They'll make
pencils out of it.
2257
01:37:31,221 --> 01:37:32,430
Maybe one will
find its way into
2258
01:37:32,514 --> 01:37:34,266
the hands of a reporter
with some integrity.
2259
01:37:34,599 --> 01:37:35,767
It will go away.
2260
01:37:38,270 --> 01:37:39,479
Okay, thank you.
2261
01:37:41,106 --> 01:37:42,107
Bye.
2262
01:37:45,110 --> 01:37:47,529
Funny how all these senators
are suddenly very busy.
2263
01:37:49,781 --> 01:37:51,449
We all know why that is.
2264
01:37:55,579 --> 01:37:57,080
Okay, so it's not great.
2265
01:37:58,164 --> 01:38:00,083
The 15 million
helped us get this far,
2266
01:38:00,166 --> 01:38:01,918
but it doesn't last long
when you're fighting
2267
01:38:02,002 --> 01:38:03,253
the richest group on the Hill.
2268
01:38:03,503 --> 01:38:04,588
Let's get to the point.
2269
01:38:04,671 --> 01:38:05,797
How does it shake out
when it comes to the vote?
2270
01:38:06,172 --> 01:38:09,009
We'd run them close.
But by latest projections,
2271
01:38:09,634 --> 01:38:11,803
we'll be between four
to seven votes short.
2272
01:38:13,346 --> 01:38:14,848
There's nothing more
we can do tonight.
2273
01:38:16,141 --> 01:38:17,392
Liz, we don't have to leave.
2274
01:38:17,809 --> 01:38:19,144
The West Coast is still awake.
2275
01:38:19,477 --> 01:38:20,562
We can connect with Oregon.
2276
01:38:20,645 --> 01:38:21,980
If we close those
goddamn loggers,
2277
01:38:22,105 --> 01:38:23,315
we could get it
to five votes tonight.
2278
01:38:23,523 --> 01:38:25,525
Go home
and get some rest, guys.
2279
01:38:25,650 --> 01:38:26,818
You've done enough for today.
2280
01:38:27,485 --> 01:38:29,070
I'll take to the streets
and rip down those
2281
01:38:29,154 --> 01:38:31,740
fucking Frank McGill posters
one at a time if I have to.
2282
01:38:32,157 --> 01:38:33,992
Go home,
sharpen your knives.
2283
01:38:34,451 --> 01:38:35,744
It'll still be on tomorrow.
2284
01:39:09,235 --> 01:39:10,654
So we keep on fighting.
2285
01:39:11,363 --> 01:39:12,864
That's all we can do.
2286
01:39:13,698 --> 01:39:15,158
As my ex-wife used to say.
2287
01:39:20,080 --> 01:39:21,414
I met you running
from a fundraiser.
2288
01:39:23,208 --> 01:39:24,209
You could be done
with all this.
2289
01:39:25,919 --> 01:39:27,212
Why don't you quit?
2290
01:39:31,758 --> 01:39:33,218
And do what?
2291
01:39:41,184 --> 01:39:42,352
2292
01:39:48,191 --> 01:39:49,526
Good night.
2293
01:40:25,103 --> 01:40:26,271
Hello?
2294
01:40:27,939 --> 01:40:29,357
I'm surprised you picked up.
2295
01:40:31,943 --> 01:40:33,486
I'm sorry, you have
the wrong number.
2296
01:40:57,677 --> 01:40:58,678
2297
01:41:03,641 --> 01:41:04,642
2298
01:41:06,686 --> 01:41:08,271
2299
01:41:50,188 --> 01:41:52,774
She'd ply Congressmen
with benefits,
2300
01:41:53,399 --> 01:41:56,694
free meals, tickets to events,
golfing weekends.
2301
01:41:56,778 --> 01:41:59,197
All paid for by our clients,
via the firm.
2302
01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:00,740
Well, that right there's
enough.
2303
01:42:00,824 --> 01:42:02,617
She'd make a point
of invoicing them,
2304
01:42:02,700 --> 01:42:04,536
though they were never
expected to pay.
2305
01:42:05,036 --> 01:42:06,830
The debt shows as an asset
on our balance sheet.
2306
01:42:06,913 --> 01:42:08,790
We can call it in
any time we want.
2307
01:42:08,873 --> 01:42:10,917
You were her
right hand for two years.
2308
01:42:12,877 --> 01:42:15,046
There's got to be something.
2309
01:42:17,507 --> 01:42:18,967
Why's nobody
on her files?
2310
01:42:19,050 --> 01:42:21,302
There were a ton of us,
but the others got pulled out.
2311
01:42:21,386 --> 01:42:22,637
It's not like we're in danger
of finding anything.
2312
01:42:23,179 --> 01:42:24,347
Well, how far d'you get?
2313
01:42:24,430 --> 01:42:26,015
We worked backwards
from her last deal
2314
01:42:26,099 --> 01:42:27,225
before she jumped ship.
2315
01:42:27,308 --> 01:42:28,476
They said it'd
be better if we can
2316
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:29,686
nail her on something recent.
2317
01:42:29,769 --> 01:42:31,980
- Which was?
- Shmallow Cakes.
2318
01:42:32,063 --> 01:42:33,106
Some tax thing.
2319
01:42:33,189 --> 01:42:35,108
She left halfway through.
2320
01:42:35,191 --> 01:42:36,818
I thought it was
the palm oil thing.
2321
01:42:36,901 --> 01:42:37,944
Palm oil?
2322
01:42:38,027 --> 01:42:39,279
Nutella Tax.
2323
01:42:40,697 --> 01:42:41,823
Hold on.
2324
01:42:43,116 --> 01:42:44,826
The Indonesians?
2325
01:42:44,909 --> 01:42:46,411
I don't remember seeing that.
2326
01:42:54,210 --> 01:42:55,420
What are you looking for?
2327
01:42:59,215 --> 01:43:00,425
Mr. Dupont,
2328
01:43:01,134 --> 01:43:02,760
she's in breach of
Senate Ethics rules.
2329
01:43:03,469 --> 01:43:04,554
We can prove it.
2330
01:43:24,490 --> 01:43:27,118
Things not looking so good
for you this cycle, Ron.
2331
01:43:29,495 --> 01:43:32,457
You ask me, you're gonna need
a lot more paid media.
2332
01:43:32,957 --> 01:43:34,000
I didn't ask you.
2333
01:43:34,083 --> 01:43:38,963
Now, who might just be able to
fund those coveted TV spots?
2334
01:43:39,339 --> 01:43:41,049
I'm committed
to Heaton-Harris,
2335
01:43:41,299 --> 01:43:43,009
I can't vote for it
with one hand
2336
01:43:43,384 --> 01:43:44,886
and choke it with the other.
2337
01:43:44,969 --> 01:43:46,971
Under cover of impartiality,
sure you can.
2338
01:43:47,513 --> 01:43:50,516
You've been a vocal critic
of lobbyists in the past.
2339
01:43:50,725 --> 01:43:53,561
You'll lead an inquiry
into Sloane's affairs
2340
01:43:53,645 --> 01:43:55,939
in response to
growing media pressure
2341
01:43:56,147 --> 01:43:58,316
regarding her
litany of misdeeds.
2342
01:43:58,900 --> 01:44:03,321
The cost of hearings
is paid from the public purse.
2343
01:44:04,072 --> 01:44:06,407
Ron, our clients
have identified you
2344
01:44:06,491 --> 01:44:08,618
as the man to pull this off.
2345
01:44:08,701 --> 01:44:09,744
If you decline,
2346
01:44:09,827 --> 01:44:11,287
I can't stop them from
2347
01:44:11,371 --> 01:44:13,706
blitzing you
with negative finance.
2348
01:44:14,499 --> 01:44:17,627
They won't stop
until they annihilate you.
2349
01:44:19,045 --> 01:44:21,589
You know the root
of the word "annihilate"?
2350
01:44:22,674 --> 01:44:23,800
It's Latin.
2351
01:44:25,301 --> 01:44:27,470
It means, "reduce to nothing."
2352
01:44:29,222 --> 01:44:31,474
That's what they're
going to do to you, Ron.
2353
01:44:31,557 --> 01:44:34,644
So, what? I'll be taking
a wedge from Bill Sandford
2354
01:44:35,520 --> 01:44:36,771
and leading the attack
2355
01:44:36,854 --> 01:44:39,065
on Heaton-Harris'
most visible advocate?
2356
01:44:39,148 --> 01:44:41,276
A 6th grader could
connect the dots.
2357
01:44:41,359 --> 01:44:44,904
We can create a structure
to obfuscate the source.
2358
01:44:45,405 --> 01:44:46,948
Your big wedge will arrive
2359
01:44:47,031 --> 01:44:50,076
courtesy of eight to 12 smaller entities
2360
01:44:50,159 --> 01:44:52,120
with no affiliation to guns.
2361
01:44:55,581 --> 01:44:57,000
How big a wedge we talking?
2362
01:44:59,877 --> 01:45:01,254
Big enough
2363
01:45:02,088 --> 01:45:03,589
to be the difference between
2364
01:45:03,673 --> 01:45:05,383
the continuation
of your duties
2365
01:45:05,466 --> 01:45:07,176
as a United States Senator
2366
01:45:07,844 --> 01:45:10,346
and the reduction
of your career to nothing.
2367
01:45:17,395 --> 01:45:18,563
2368
01:45:22,025 --> 01:45:23,276
2369
01:45:26,279 --> 01:45:27,488
This is every hit since
2370
01:45:27,572 --> 01:45:29,907
the original Pru Walsh
hack-job two weeks ago.
2371
01:45:30,867 --> 01:45:32,285
My personal favorite
is the one
2372
01:45:32,368 --> 01:45:33,453
about how you toppled
2373
01:45:33,536 --> 01:45:34,829
the head of the High School
Student Council
2374
01:45:34,912 --> 01:45:36,831
with a fabricated
plagiarism scandal.
2375
01:45:37,623 --> 01:45:39,292
I'm assuming
that's not libelous
2376
01:45:39,375 --> 01:45:40,793
'cause I can totally see it.
2377
01:45:41,169 --> 01:45:42,712
That witch was insufferable.
2378
01:45:43,755 --> 01:45:44,964
I'm taking you
off the campaign.
2379
01:45:45,590 --> 01:45:46,591
What?
2380
01:45:47,675 --> 01:45:49,052
Not you, her.
2381
01:45:50,219 --> 01:45:51,220
I'll be outside.
2382
01:45:52,764 --> 01:45:54,182
What are you talking about?
2383
01:45:54,265 --> 01:45:55,475
Heaton-Harris gets colder
2384
01:45:55,558 --> 01:45:56,934
every day you're
associated with it.
2385
01:45:57,977 --> 01:45:59,103
Sperling's got
the hots for you.
2386
01:45:59,771 --> 01:46:01,481
I haven't even met him,
this is a setup.
2387
01:46:01,981 --> 01:46:03,316
If they're orchestrating it,
2388
01:46:03,399 --> 01:46:05,068
it's because they want me
off the campaign.
2389
01:46:07,278 --> 01:46:08,780
Right now, you're lawyering up
for a hearing.
2390
01:46:13,701 --> 01:46:15,078
Regarding your representation
2391
01:46:15,161 --> 01:46:16,371
of the Indonesian government.
2392
01:46:16,454 --> 01:46:17,705
Dan, are you busy?
2393
01:46:17,789 --> 01:46:18,831
Senator Allen Jacobs,
2394
01:46:19,374 --> 01:46:22,627
the sponsor of the bill
you dubbed the Nutella Tax,
2395
01:46:24,921 --> 01:46:27,006
was flown to Indonesia
first-class with his family,
2396
01:46:27,215 --> 01:46:29,425
and put up at a 5-star hotel.
2397
01:46:30,176 --> 01:46:34,138
Our audit puts the cost
of this trip at over $30,000.
2398
01:46:34,472 --> 01:46:36,140
Shortly after his return,
2399
01:46:36,224 --> 01:46:38,935
the bill was pulled
from consideration.
2400
01:46:40,770 --> 01:46:42,814
Now, why do you suppose
this happened?
2401
01:46:42,897 --> 01:46:45,691
I understand the trip was
for educational purposes.
2402
01:46:45,775 --> 01:46:48,361
I can surmise that
he learned how his bill
2403
01:46:48,444 --> 01:46:49,946
would have strangled
a key industry,
2404
01:46:50,029 --> 01:46:51,572
and confined thousands
2405
01:46:51,656 --> 01:46:54,283
of impoverished farmers
to destitution.
2406
01:46:54,367 --> 01:46:56,077
- From his private beach?
2407
01:46:57,161 --> 01:47:00,498
No. The truth is,
your client funded this trip
2408
01:47:00,581 --> 01:47:03,793
as an inducement for the
senator to withdraw his bill.
2409
01:47:04,168 --> 01:47:05,503
- Isn't that right?
- Not at all.
2410
01:47:05,586 --> 01:47:07,338
My client was
the Indonesian Government.
2411
01:47:07,422 --> 01:47:08,631
The trip was sponsored
2412
01:47:08,714 --> 01:47:10,383
by the Institute of
Environmental Studies,
2413
01:47:10,466 --> 01:47:13,553
a 501 C-3
non-profit organization.
2414
01:47:13,636 --> 01:47:14,762
Travel was pre-approved
2415
01:47:14,846 --> 01:47:16,681
by the Senate Ethics
Committee.
2416
01:47:16,764 --> 01:47:19,559
Has your client ever
donated to this non-profit?
2417
01:47:20,017 --> 01:47:21,227
I wouldn't know that.
2418
01:47:21,310 --> 01:47:22,979
I'm not privy
to their list of donors.
2419
01:47:23,062 --> 01:47:26,065
Nor had I any role
in arranging funding for this.
2420
01:47:26,816 --> 01:47:28,317
- No role?
- Mmm.
2421
01:47:29,026 --> 01:47:31,362
Of course,
you couldn't have any role
2422
01:47:31,904 --> 01:47:34,907
because the Senate Ethics
rules prevent lobbyists
2423
01:47:35,241 --> 01:47:38,077
from arranging overseas travel
for members of Congress.
2424
01:47:38,161 --> 01:47:39,412
Indeed.
2425
01:47:43,040 --> 01:47:44,292
Do you know what this is?
2426
01:47:46,419 --> 01:47:47,587
Perhaps we can get you a copy.
2427
01:47:55,553 --> 01:47:56,888
Are you familiar
with that form?
2428
01:47:58,306 --> 01:48:00,183
Yes. It's a Private Sponsor
Certification Form.
2429
01:48:00,266 --> 01:48:01,934
It's a copy of the same
2430
01:48:02,018 --> 01:48:03,728
Private Sponsor
Certification Form
2431
01:48:03,811 --> 01:48:06,063
that was submitted
to the Senate Ethics Committee
2432
01:48:06,147 --> 01:48:08,900
to pre-authorize
Senator Jacobs' travel
2433
01:48:08,983 --> 01:48:10,151
to Indonesia.
2434
01:48:10,693 --> 01:48:13,279
Look at the handwriting
on that form, Miss Sloane.
2435
01:48:15,156 --> 01:48:16,866
Do you recognize
that handwriting?
2436
01:48:17,700 --> 01:48:18,743
Yes, I do.
2437
01:48:18,826 --> 01:48:20,077
Is it your handwriting?
2438
01:48:23,122 --> 01:48:24,290
It is.
2439
01:48:26,459 --> 01:48:28,085
Well, it seems
we have a problem.
2440
01:48:28,836 --> 01:48:30,963
Even though
the form was signed
2441
01:48:31,047 --> 01:48:32,215
and filed by the non-profit,
2442
01:48:32,298 --> 01:48:34,008
you were the one
who filled it out.
2443
01:48:34,550 --> 01:48:36,219
This is prima facie evidence
2444
01:48:36,302 --> 01:48:38,304
that you were involved
in arranging
2445
01:48:38,387 --> 01:48:40,389
overseas travel for
a member of Congress.
2446
01:48:41,140 --> 01:48:45,019
Constituting a clear breach
of Senate Ethics rules.
2447
01:48:45,228 --> 01:48:46,646
Is that your trump card?
2448
01:48:48,272 --> 01:48:49,482
You drag me in here,
2449
01:48:49,565 --> 01:48:51,734
wedge an endoscope
up my posterior,
2450
01:48:52,026 --> 01:48:54,570
and all this time,
the only incriminating item
2451
01:48:54,654 --> 01:48:57,281
you have in your possession
is a filing snafu?
2452
01:48:57,365 --> 01:48:59,242
How about surveillance,
Miss Sloane?
2453
01:48:59,450 --> 01:49:02,578
Mr. Rodolfo Schmidt
has stated in deposition
2454
01:49:03,037 --> 01:49:05,248
that you intended
to use methods
2455
01:49:05,331 --> 01:49:07,041
such as bugging and tapping
2456
01:49:07,124 --> 01:49:10,378
to entrap Senator
Hank Badgley. Is this true?
2457
01:49:10,461 --> 01:49:13,881
I did, for a brief moment,
intend to use such methods.
2458
01:49:13,965 --> 01:49:16,008
But that intention
was never acted upon.
2459
01:49:16,092 --> 01:49:17,260
And why was that?
2460
01:49:17,343 --> 01:49:19,262
Mr. Schmidt
expressly forbade it,
2461
01:49:19,345 --> 01:49:21,305
as he no doubt told you
in his deposition.
2462
01:49:21,389 --> 01:49:22,473
But you were clearly
comfortable
2463
01:49:22,557 --> 01:49:23,599
with these methods.
2464
01:49:24,058 --> 01:49:27,311
Did you employ the tactics
of espionage
2465
01:49:27,395 --> 01:49:29,605
regularly throughout
your lobbying career?
2466
01:49:29,689 --> 01:49:30,940
No, I did not.
2467
01:49:31,023 --> 01:49:32,066
Then let me ask you this.
2468
01:49:32,149 --> 01:49:34,068
Have you ever authorized,
ordered,
2469
01:49:34,151 --> 01:49:35,778
or otherwise brought about
2470
01:49:35,861 --> 01:49:38,906
any kind of unlawful
surveillance on any person?
2471
01:49:39,949 --> 01:49:41,951
Let me remind you that perjury
2472
01:49:42,034 --> 01:49:43,744
before Congress
is a felony, which...
2473
01:49:43,828 --> 01:49:44,870
The answer is no.
2474
01:49:46,414 --> 01:49:49,584
I have never authorized
illegal surveillance.
2475
01:49:50,793 --> 01:49:52,128
2476
01:49:53,170 --> 01:49:55,172
This concludes my questioning
of the witness.
2477
01:49:55,256 --> 01:49:56,549
Thank you, Miss Sloane.
2478
01:50:05,725 --> 01:50:07,184
We have one further witness.
2479
01:50:08,936 --> 01:50:10,771
Either you just
perjured yourself,
2480
01:50:10,855 --> 01:50:12,690
or you're not
so sleazy after all.
2481
01:50:13,441 --> 01:50:14,817
The Committee
calls Mr. Robert Forde.
2482
01:50:16,110 --> 01:50:17,445
I wouldn't count on that.
2483
01:50:19,405 --> 01:50:20,656
Mr. Chairman, I don't recall
2484
01:50:20,740 --> 01:50:22,158
being notified
of your intention to...
2485
01:50:22,241 --> 01:50:23,284
We were only recently
2486
01:50:23,367 --> 01:50:24,410
able to locate
the witness, Mr. Posner.
2487
01:50:24,702 --> 01:50:25,745
Let it play.
2488
01:50:26,537 --> 01:50:28,205
A moment
with my client, please?
2489
01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:30,875
What is this?
Who's Robert Forde?
2490
01:50:32,168 --> 01:50:33,628
Look, I can make
a public appeal...
2491
01:50:33,711 --> 01:50:34,754
Let it play, damn it.
2492
01:50:34,837 --> 01:50:36,213
They're going to get it
out there one way or another.
2493
01:50:50,436 --> 01:50:52,730
Mr. Forde,
please raise your right hand.
2494
01:50:54,023 --> 01:50:56,067
Do you solemnly swear
that you will tell the truth,
2495
01:50:56,150 --> 01:50:58,069
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,
2496
01:50:58,444 --> 01:51:00,196
under pains and penalties
of perjury?
2497
01:51:00,529 --> 01:51:02,073
- I swear.
- Please sit.
2498
01:51:07,870 --> 01:51:10,331
Mr. Forde,
could you please describe
2499
01:51:10,414 --> 01:51:11,999
the nature of your work?
2500
01:51:14,460 --> 01:51:15,878
I got many jobs.
2501
01:51:18,047 --> 01:51:21,092
What would you say earns you
the most income at present?
2502
01:51:22,927 --> 01:51:23,928
I work as an escort in D.C.
2503
01:51:25,638 --> 01:51:26,931
2504
01:51:29,767 --> 01:51:31,435
You sleep
with women for money?
2505
01:51:32,061 --> 01:51:33,479
I meet the clients' needs.
2506
01:51:34,480 --> 01:51:35,690
Whatever they may be.
2507
01:51:36,732 --> 01:51:39,360
Sometimes, the client don't
even know what they need.
2508
01:51:40,236 --> 01:51:42,071
Part of my job's
to figure that out.
2509
01:51:42,154 --> 01:51:43,781
But, sometimes,
your job entails
2510
01:51:44,448 --> 01:51:46,242
having intercourse
for payment?
2511
01:51:47,910 --> 01:51:49,203
Yes, sir.
2512
01:51:49,912 --> 01:51:52,039
Have you ever met
Elizabeth Sloane?
2513
01:51:52,123 --> 01:51:53,582
Mr. Chairman, the Senate
has no business
2514
01:51:53,666 --> 01:51:55,543
prying into the personal
affairs of Miss Sloane.
2515
01:51:55,626 --> 01:51:56,961
Solicitation
is a criminal offense.
2516
01:51:57,044 --> 01:51:59,380
It's well within the remit
of this hearing
2517
01:51:59,463 --> 01:52:00,798
to establish
whether Miss Sloane
2518
01:52:00,881 --> 01:52:01,966
has broken any laws.
2519
01:52:02,800 --> 01:52:03,843
Mr. Forde.
2520
01:52:04,427 --> 01:52:06,721
Have you ever met Miss Sloane?
2521
01:52:08,347 --> 01:52:09,390
Yep.
2522
01:52:09,849 --> 01:52:11,392
Could you
identify her, please?
2523
01:52:13,728 --> 01:52:14,895
Sittin' right there.
2524
01:52:15,646 --> 01:52:18,023
What was the nature
of your relationship?
2525
01:52:20,985 --> 01:52:23,154
I was attendin'
a function with a client.
2526
01:52:23,988 --> 01:52:25,865
I tried to introduce myself,
but she bucked me off.
2527
01:52:28,492 --> 01:52:29,827
Mr. Forde, have you ever
2528
01:52:29,910 --> 01:52:31,120
entertained Miss Sloane
as a client?
2529
01:52:36,459 --> 01:52:37,501
No, sir.
2530
01:52:39,295 --> 01:52:41,172
I can produce sworn statements
2531
01:52:41,255 --> 01:52:43,674
from two employees
of the Carver Hotel,
2532
01:52:43,758 --> 01:52:46,677
to the effect that they saw
Miss Sloane in the lobby
2533
01:52:47,136 --> 01:52:48,929
on the same day
that you, Mr. Forde,
2534
01:52:49,013 --> 01:52:50,514
held a reservation there.
2535
01:52:50,973 --> 01:52:52,057
I ask again.
2536
01:52:52,141 --> 01:52:56,061
Did you entertain Miss Sloane
in any capacity, for profit?
2537
01:52:56,270 --> 01:52:57,521
No, sir. I did not.
2538
01:52:57,646 --> 01:52:58,856
2539
01:53:01,066 --> 01:53:02,777
Thank you, Mr. Forde.
2540
01:53:03,569 --> 01:53:04,862
You're dismissed.
2541
01:53:10,493 --> 01:53:12,286
These proceedings
will conclude tomorrow,
2542
01:53:13,287 --> 01:53:16,957
when Miss Sloane is referred
to the Senate Ethics Committee
2543
01:53:17,041 --> 01:53:18,459
for their judgment.
2544
01:53:29,053 --> 01:53:31,305
I can't believe those fuckers
dragged that guy...
2545
01:53:31,388 --> 01:53:32,556
Ross?
2546
01:53:36,435 --> 01:53:37,770
How's our old friend
Heaton-Harris?
2547
01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:42,858
Comatose. The whole
issue's gone cold.
2548
01:53:44,819 --> 01:53:46,320
That is what they wanted.
2549
01:53:47,613 --> 01:53:49,365
We all know what
it would take to revive it.
2550
01:53:50,741 --> 01:53:52,910
Seriously, an earthquake.
2551
01:53:55,412 --> 01:53:57,248
We got closer than
we had any right to.
2552
01:54:06,131 --> 01:54:07,591
We'll all be there tomorrow.
2553
01:54:41,876 --> 01:54:43,294
Excuse me,
Miss Sloane, over here.
2554
01:54:43,377 --> 01:54:44,461
May I have a comment?
2555
01:54:44,670 --> 01:54:46,797
2556
01:55:02,646 --> 01:55:03,731
Good morning.
2557
01:55:04,899 --> 01:55:06,108
2558
01:55:09,904 --> 01:55:12,323
Before referring
the witness's testimony
2559
01:55:12,406 --> 01:55:14,450
to the Office
of Congressional Ethics,
2560
01:55:14,533 --> 01:55:16,160
she is entitled
to make a statement.
2561
01:55:19,163 --> 01:55:22,458
Miss Sloane, is there
something you'd like to say?
2562
01:55:35,679 --> 01:55:37,890
Mr. Chairman, my client does
not wish to make a statement.
2563
01:55:39,850 --> 01:55:40,893
Very well.
2564
01:55:40,976 --> 01:55:42,478
I will now read the referral
2565
01:55:42,561 --> 01:55:44,313
to the office of
Congressional Ethics...
2566
01:55:44,396 --> 01:55:46,190
There is something
I'd like to say, Senator.
2567
01:55:56,200 --> 01:55:57,534
2568
01:56:15,719 --> 01:56:18,555
I have been censured by
the press and by this hearing
2569
01:56:19,390 --> 01:56:20,808
as a parasite
2570
01:56:21,767 --> 01:56:23,394
on American democracy.
2571
01:56:24,645 --> 01:56:27,189
It's insinuated
that I led the fight
2572
01:56:28,232 --> 01:56:32,444
for increased gun regulation
in the interest of my career.
2573
01:56:35,072 --> 01:56:37,199
Sometimes we act,
not for ourselves,
2574
01:56:39,618 --> 01:56:41,954
but because we believe
plainly and simply
2575
01:56:42,079 --> 01:56:43,455
it is the right thing to do.
2576
01:56:43,580 --> 01:56:46,083
Miss Sloane, is this pertinent
to the discussions we...
2577
01:56:46,166 --> 01:56:49,294
I understand I have the right
to say what I wish, Senator.
2578
01:56:50,421 --> 01:56:51,422
Proceed.
2579
01:56:53,590 --> 01:56:55,217
I believe
the Heaton-Harris Bill
2580
01:56:55,300 --> 01:56:56,593
is the right thing to do.
2581
01:56:59,596 --> 01:57:00,889
But I also recognize
2582
01:57:01,432 --> 01:57:05,477
that this wasn't
what motivated me.
2583
01:57:08,147 --> 01:57:10,524
When I was offered a position
on the campaign,
2584
01:57:10,607 --> 01:57:12,609
I was in thrall
to the challenge.
2585
01:57:15,029 --> 01:57:19,825
My decision to accept
was based on my desire to win.
2586
01:57:23,620 --> 01:57:25,622
And to win bigger
than I ever had before.
2587
01:57:29,877 --> 01:57:32,755
It's clear that my behavior
has fallen well short
2588
01:57:34,339 --> 01:57:37,468
of acceptable
ethical standards.
2589
01:57:39,303 --> 01:57:43,348
I've crossed lines
with devastating consequences
2590
01:57:44,558 --> 01:57:46,393
in the service
of my obsession.
2591
01:57:48,854 --> 01:57:50,939
I've betrayed the people
closest to me.
2592
01:57:54,359 --> 01:57:55,861
I've endangered lives.
2593
01:57:58,906 --> 01:58:00,532
I deserve censure for this
2594
01:58:01,575 --> 01:58:04,661
far more than for
any filing irregularity.
2595
01:58:07,706 --> 01:58:10,167
When they consider
the Heaton-Harris Bill, I wish
2596
01:58:11,502 --> 01:58:13,212
that each member of Congress
2597
01:58:13,337 --> 01:58:15,589
would follow the example set,
not by me,
2598
01:58:17,049 --> 01:58:19,885
but by the group of people
that sit behind me.
2599
01:58:21,720 --> 01:58:24,098
Who have made great sacrifices
2600
01:58:24,681 --> 01:58:28,185
in the name of doing
what they believe is right.
2601
01:58:29,686 --> 01:58:33,941
I wish that those members
would use their votes,
2602
01:58:34,024 --> 01:58:37,945
not in the interest of
their political advancement,
2603
01:58:38,779 --> 01:58:43,200
but for what they believe
is right for their country.
2604
01:58:45,410 --> 01:58:46,954
But I know my wishes
are wasted.
2605
01:58:48,455 --> 01:58:50,124
And that this will
never happen.
2606
01:58:51,416 --> 01:58:54,878
Because our system is rotten.
2607
01:58:54,962 --> 01:58:56,380
2608
01:58:57,381 --> 01:58:59,675
It doesn't reward
honest politicians,
2609
01:58:59,758 --> 01:59:01,051
who vote with
their conscience.
2610
01:59:02,886 --> 01:59:04,221
It rewards
2611
01:59:05,305 --> 01:59:06,473
rats
2612
01:59:07,558 --> 01:59:09,351
who are willing to
sell out their country
2613
01:59:09,434 --> 01:59:10,727
to keep their noses
in the trough.
2614
01:59:12,729 --> 01:59:14,273
Make no mistake.
2615
01:59:15,232 --> 01:59:18,360
These rats are
the real parasites
2616
01:59:19,403 --> 01:59:20,988
on American democracy.
2617
01:59:34,251 --> 01:59:36,920
I anticipated if we had
sufficient success
2618
01:59:37,004 --> 01:59:39,006
in lobbying for
the Heaton-Harris Bill,
2619
01:59:39,089 --> 01:59:40,465
there may be
2620
01:59:41,675 --> 01:59:43,594
an assault
against me personally,
2621
01:59:45,262 --> 01:59:49,516
to stall our momentum
and to damage our credibility.
2622
01:59:52,769 --> 01:59:54,271
Lobbying is about foresight.
2623
01:59:56,106 --> 01:59:58,108
About anticipating
your opponent's moves
2624
02:00:00,277 --> 02:00:01,528
and devising counter-measures.
2625
02:00:02,321 --> 02:00:03,822
I'd like to discuss my future.
2626
02:00:04,781 --> 02:00:06,491
This is hardly
the time, cookie.
2627
02:00:07,284 --> 02:00:10,621
The winner plots one step
ahead of the opposition,
2628
02:00:12,122 --> 02:00:15,834
and plays a trump card
just after they play theirs.
2629
02:00:16,710 --> 02:00:18,086
Actually, it is the time.
2630
02:00:18,962 --> 02:00:20,172
It's about making sure
2631
02:00:20,297 --> 02:00:21,506
you surprise them.
2632
02:00:22,633 --> 02:00:24,051
The fuck is this?
2633
02:00:24,801 --> 02:00:26,220
And that they don't
surprise you.
2634
02:00:27,012 --> 02:00:28,388
My resignation.
2635
02:00:28,972 --> 02:00:30,641
Academia's more my scene.
2636
02:00:35,646 --> 02:00:38,649
When I left Cole, Kravitz,
and Waterman,
2637
02:00:39,858 --> 02:00:43,195
I retained an operative
of mine in their ranks.
2638
02:00:44,863 --> 02:00:46,240
All right, Jane.
2639
02:00:46,323 --> 02:00:47,574
Contact Rodolfo Schmidt
and tell him
2640
02:00:47,658 --> 02:00:48,951
there is a total
of six coming over.
2641
02:00:49,034 --> 02:00:50,077
Who says I'm coming?
2642
02:00:50,994 --> 02:00:52,246
A plan was hatched to
2643
02:00:52,329 --> 02:00:53,497
bankroll a trumped-up hearing
2644
02:00:54,039 --> 02:00:55,832
at the behest
of the gun lobby.
2645
02:00:55,916 --> 02:00:57,459
There's got to be something.
2646
02:00:59,378 --> 02:01:00,462
I'm surprised you picked up.
2647
02:01:00,587 --> 02:01:01,880
I'm sorry, you have
the wrong number.
2648
02:01:03,757 --> 02:01:05,133
She's in breach
of Senate Ethics rules.
2649
02:01:06,343 --> 02:01:07,511
We can prove it.
2650
02:01:08,220 --> 02:01:10,347
I placed George Dupont
under surveillance
2651
02:01:11,556 --> 02:01:13,350
until he met with
a member of Congress
2652
02:01:13,892 --> 02:01:15,978
who exhibited sufficient
moral bankruptcy
2653
02:01:16,353 --> 02:01:18,730
to collude with such a plan.
2654
02:01:18,855 --> 02:01:20,023
And go.
2655
02:01:23,777 --> 02:01:25,570
That member was
2656
02:01:25,696 --> 02:01:28,031
Senator Ronald Michael Sperling.
2657
02:01:28,282 --> 02:01:29,866
2658
02:01:30,242 --> 02:01:31,285
Order.
2659
02:01:31,368 --> 02:01:33,370
This is not a platform
you can use
2660
02:01:33,453 --> 02:01:35,163
to make malicious,
defamatory accusations...
2661
02:01:35,247 --> 02:01:36,540
Input the following address
into your browser.
2662
02:01:39,418 --> 02:01:42,879
193-dot-184
2663
02:01:43,630 --> 02:01:48,885
dot-216-dot-449.
2664
02:01:49,386 --> 02:01:52,764
Download a file
named "Earthquake."
2665
02:01:54,558 --> 02:01:56,518
I can't
vote for it with one hand
2666
02:01:56,601 --> 02:01:58,228
and choke it with the other...
2667
02:01:58,770 --> 02:02:00,230
2668
02:02:07,446 --> 02:02:08,655
Get the car.
2669
02:02:16,330 --> 02:02:17,414
2670
02:02:18,290 --> 02:02:20,751
In light of these allegations,
this hearing is adjourned.
2671
02:02:29,426 --> 02:02:30,844
Back up, please.
Back up. Back up.
2672
02:03:10,050 --> 02:03:11,093
2673
02:03:48,672 --> 02:03:49,923
2674
02:04:07,899 --> 02:04:09,276
I'm surprised you showed.
2675
02:04:10,068 --> 02:04:11,111
I hear I'm not the only one
2676
02:04:11,194 --> 02:04:12,529
whose visits
you've been refusing.
2677
02:04:15,365 --> 02:04:16,867
You look good.
2678
02:04:17,701 --> 02:04:19,703
Prison's not so bad
if you don't have a penis.
2679
02:04:20,203 --> 02:04:22,539
We don't shank each other,
we form self-help groups.
2680
02:04:24,040 --> 02:04:25,250
There's a black market
in lip gloss.
2681
02:04:25,709 --> 02:04:26,710
Hmm.
2682
02:04:27,961 --> 02:04:29,045
Why this time?
2683
02:04:31,423 --> 02:04:32,883
They told me it was business.
2684
02:04:33,425 --> 02:04:34,718
Yeah. Um...
2685
02:04:35,552 --> 02:04:36,761
Now that the Sperling
and Dupont hearings
2686
02:04:36,887 --> 02:04:37,971
are on the schedule,
2687
02:04:38,054 --> 02:04:39,514
I'm petitioning
for an early release.
2688
02:04:40,265 --> 02:04:41,558
You look good, too,
by the way.
2689
02:04:42,058 --> 02:04:43,393
Thank you.
2690
02:04:44,728 --> 02:04:48,231
I think we are looking
at four, maybe six months.
2691
02:04:53,612 --> 02:04:55,113
You instigated
the whole thing.
2692
02:04:58,283 --> 02:04:59,784
You weaponized yourself,
2693
02:05:01,119 --> 02:05:02,662
brought the roof
of the US Capitol
2694
02:05:02,746 --> 02:05:04,080
crashing down on your head.
2695
02:05:04,998 --> 02:05:07,167
For what, a gun bill?
2696
02:05:09,169 --> 02:05:11,463
- Worked, didn't it?
- Well, congrats.
2697
02:05:12,422 --> 02:05:13,840
Criminals must now
endure the hassle
2698
02:05:13,924 --> 02:05:15,675
of procuring their guns
on the black market.
2699
02:05:17,511 --> 02:05:19,179
Was that really
worth your career?
2700
02:05:21,681 --> 02:05:23,266
Career suicide is
not so bad when you
2701
02:05:23,433 --> 02:05:26,019
consider the alternative
is suicide by career.
2702
02:05:27,938 --> 02:05:29,105
My doctor would tell you
2703
02:05:29,648 --> 02:05:31,441
I've served
my interest very well.
2704
02:05:34,194 --> 02:05:35,195
Hmm.
2705
02:05:38,156 --> 02:05:39,449
Thanks for coming, Daniel.
2706
02:05:42,160 --> 02:05:43,411
I'm curious.
2707
02:05:46,122 --> 02:05:47,541
Your little filing snafu?
2708
02:05:49,459 --> 02:05:50,794
You filled out
that form deliberately.
2709
02:05:51,002 --> 02:05:52,295
That was you,
throwing them a bone.
2710
02:05:53,672 --> 02:05:55,507
Without it, they would have
nothing to incite the hearing.
2711
02:05:57,175 --> 02:05:59,135
And you're under no obligation
to answer that.
2712
02:06:05,350 --> 02:06:06,851
And you neglected
to mention this
2713
02:06:06,977 --> 02:06:08,103
to any of your team because...
2714
02:06:08,186 --> 02:06:09,312
Five years minimum.
2715
02:06:16,236 --> 02:06:17,445
I'll be seeing you.
2715
