00:07:30,030 --> 00:07:32,730
Shot Dead On Hearst's Boat!"
180
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,930
But then,
181
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,340
the evening edition said,
182
00:07:35,410 --> 00:07:37,840
Ha Ha Ha! Whoops! Just Kidding!
183
00:07:37,910 --> 00:07:42,440
He Actually Died Of Heart
Failure In Hearst's Home.
184
00:07:42,470 --> 00:07:43,480
[RASPBERRIES]
185
00:07:43,550 --> 00:07:44,750
So, yeah. Weird.
186
00:07:44,810 --> 00:07:47,150
But things get more confusing,
187
00:07:47,220 --> 00:07:49,380
because at Thomas' funeral,
188
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,590
Ince's wife, Elinor, was like,
189
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,490
it's so terrible that
my husband has died.
190
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,460
Okay, thanks. Come again.
191
00:07:56,530 --> 00:08:00,260
And then she cremated him immediately
192
00:08:00,330 --> 00:08:01,700
and fucked off to Europe.
193
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,860
So that was kind of odd.
194
00:08:03,930 --> 00:08:05,020
We know he's dead.
195
00:08:05,050 --> 00:08:06,820
That's the one fact that we know.
196
00:08:06,850 --> 00:08:08,800
But since there was so
many different stories,
197
00:08:08,870 --> 00:08:11,300
I mean, it's pretty much
like the movie "Clue."
198
00:08:11,370 --> 00:08:12,770
But we're gonna figure it out.
199
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,910
We're gonna figure it out.
200
00:08:14,980 --> 00:08:17,980
So one of the theories
is that Thomas Ince
201
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,060
had a problem with ulcers,
202
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,740
because he was a big Hollywood producer
203
00:08:20,750 --> 00:08:23,119
and had a lot of stress
and shit on his mind.
204
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,600
Of course, when he gets on the yacht,
205
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,500
champagne's flowing.
206
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,050
They were having hootenannies
and bee-baw-billies
207
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,560
and blah-blah-blahs, and
then Ince is like, oh.
208
00:08:31,630 --> 00:08:35,160
Salted almonds, yes. I
probably shouldn't.
209
00:08:35,230 --> 00:08:36,900
Okay, I'll have 1 or 40.
210
00:08:36,970 --> 00:08:39,100
And then of course when it
comes to toasting time,
211
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,270
it was like, okay, it's
my fucking birthday.
212
00:08:41,340 --> 00:08:42,400
Toast to me.
213
00:08:42,470 --> 00:08:44,900
Love... mm...
214
00:08:44,970 --> 00:08:46,360
But because of that,
215
00:08:46,390 --> 00:08:47,820
it ruptured his ulcer,
216
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,910
and the next morning, he wakes
up with a heart attack...
217
00:08:51,980 --> 00:08:55,180
not that cool... and then died.
218
00:08:55,250 --> 00:08:56,280
That's theory one.
219
00:08:56,350 --> 00:08:57,480
That's theory one.
220
00:08:57,550 --> 00:09:00,300
So theory two is:
221
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,420
they're having a great,
old time for three days.
222
00:09:02,490 --> 00:09:05,660

alone, suicidal.

There's a diamond-crusted pistol.

Ince comes in, is like, hey, Chappy!

What's going on?

have a pistol... oh, shit.

But here's the prevailing theory:
243
00:09:42,460 --> 00:09:44,630
Hearst had a whole yacht party.

[CHUCKLES]

00:10:05,220 --> 00:10:10,320
And cut to Ince and Hearst
going down the hall.
256
00:10:10,390 --> 00:10:11,860
And Hearst is like,
257
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,860
oh, I love Chaplin because
he does nice things
258
00:10:14,930 --> 00:10:18,730
to my bankroll. I love Davies because
259
00:10:18,740 --> 00:10:21,240
she does nice things to my downstairs.
260
00:10:21,260 --> 00:10:22,730
Oh!
261
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,300
They see Chaplin and
Davies having some...
262
00:10:31,410 --> 00:10:33,840
- Sex.
- Yes.
263
00:10:33,910 --> 00:10:39,680
So then back to Hearst had
a diamond-crusted pistol
264
00:10:39,700 --> 00:10:44,720
and was like, how dare
you, Charlie Ma-Chaplin.
265
00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:47,720
Not Ma-Chaplin, but...
how dare you, Chaplin!

I'm going to shoot you both.

And someone got shot, and it was Ince.

00:11:35,270 --> 00:11:38,410
I think that Hearst shot him
286
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,640
on the yacht
287
00:11:39,650 --> 00:11:41,480
with the revolva...

revolver.
289
00:11:43,950 --> 00:11:47,460
And he was buying up everyone
to shut them the fuck up.
290
00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:50,420
I mean, he bought this gossip columnist.
291
00:11:50,490 --> 00:11:52,420
He bought Ince's wife.
292
00:11:52,490 --> 00:11:55,260
And he got away with it.
293
00:11:55,330 --> 00:11:58,930
Because Hearst owns everything.
294
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,400
He owns all of the newspapers.
295
00:12:01,470 --> 00:12:04,900
He is the Citizen Kane, the rosebud.

God damn you, James Callender,
360
00:14:41,770 --> 00:14:43,350
you son of a bitch.
361
00:14:43,420 --> 00:14:44,440
Gone.
362
00:14:44,460 --> 00:14:46,050
Callender sits back and is like,
363
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,580
that's where I get my high.
364
00:14:47,650 --> 00:14:50,120
But out of the shadows
365
00:14:50,190 --> 00:14:51,820
comes Thomas Jefferson.
366
00:14:51,890 --> 00:14:53,280
And he was like, hey.
367
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:55,960
I saw what you did with Hamilton.
368
00:14:56,030 --> 00:14:57,490
Nice work.
369
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,430
Uh, John Adams right now
is the sitting president.
370
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:02,600
Callender goes, uh-duh.
371
00:15:02,670 --> 00:15:04,000
And Jefferson's like,
372
00:15:04,070 --> 00:15:05,700
I want to be a president.
373
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,470
Take Adams out. I will hook you up.
374
00:15:08,540 --> 00:15:09,670
Callender's like,
375
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,110
I doubt you can do what I want,
376
00:15:11,130 --> 00:15:12,840
because I want to become
the Postmaster General
377
00:15:12,910 --> 00:15:13,980
of Richmond.
378
00:15:14,050 --> 00:15:16,350
And Jefferson goes,
379
00:15:16,410 --> 00:15:20,620
dude, I shit Postmaster Generals
380
00:15:20,690 --> 00:15:22,550
of Richmonds for breakfast.
381
00:15:22,620 --> 00:15:26,280
[LAUGHTER]
382
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:27,520
And
383
00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:29,580
Callender goes, fine.
384
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:30,830
Let's do it.
385
00:15:30,900 --> 00:15:32,960
Bitches.
386
00:15:33,030 --> 00:15:34,230
Let's do it.
387
00:15:34,250 --> 00:15:36,570
Callender writes a new article.
388
00:15:36,630 --> 00:15:40,000
He calls Adams pro-monarch.
389
00:15:40,070 --> 00:15:41,370
That was bad.
390
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,520
John Adams was sitting there going like,
391
00:15:43,540 --> 00:15:46,510
what? No, I'm not. I am not pro-monarch.
392
00:15:46,580 --> 00:15:48,740
But the people believe it immediately.
393
00:15:48,810 --> 00:15:51,380
So Jefferson becomes president.
394
00:15:51,450 --> 00:15:54,550
But guess who's going to jail?
395
00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:56,020
Callender.
396
00:15:56,090 --> 00:15:59,120
Uh, for sedition charges.
397
00:15:59,190 --> 00:16:03,280
Uh, basically, writing to, um...
398
00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:06,260
create revolt against the government.
399
00:16:06,330 --> 00:16:08,660
And Callender's like,
this is pretty rough,
400
00:16:08,730 --> 00:16:12,760
but Jefferson promised
me this'll be worth it.
401
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,240
And Jefferson is like, holy shit.
402
00:16:16,310 --> 00:16:19,470
I'm president. Adams is out. I'm in.
403
00:16:19,540 --> 00:16:21,180
And Callender... oh!
404
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,180
Holy shit. Callender's in jail.
405
00:16:23,250 --> 00:16:25,680
Hey. Hey. Jerry?
406
00:16:25,750 --> 00:16:29,480
Jerry, can we pardon, uh...
407
00:16:29,550 --> 00:16:33,920
Can we pardon...
408
00:16:33,990 --> 00:16:36,690
Callender?
409
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:37,920
And Jerry's like,
410
00:16:37,990 --> 00:16:40,460
no... yeah, we can
pardon anyone we want.
411
00:16:40,470 --> 00:16:42,800
You're the goddamn president.
412
00:16:42,860 --> 00:16:46,030
He goes, okay. Pardon Callender.
413
00:16:46,050 --> 00:16:47,370
He gets out of jail,
414
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,770
runs to see Jefferson.
415
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,200
He's like,
416
00:16:51,270 --> 00:16:53,010
Thomas... [SIGHS]
417
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,570
That was awesome. We did it.
418
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,780
Let's make me the Postmaster
General of Richmond.
419
00:16:58,850 --> 00:17:00,250
And Jefferson literally was like,
420
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,680
yeah, um...
421
00:17:01,700 --> 00:17:05,150
Jerry, could you please pay Callender
422
00:17:05,220 --> 00:17:09,660
uh, $50 and then escort him out?
423
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,990
Callender's, like, are you kidding me?
424
00:17:13,060 --> 00:17:15,290
I'll take the $50 for sure,
425
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:17,260
but guess what, Jefferson?
426
00:17:17,330 --> 00:17:19,000
You wanna mess with me?
427
00:17:19,070 --> 00:17:22,770
I got one gun, and that's called gossip.
428
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,640
And ka-pu-possip.
Gossip. Gossip. Gossip.

Sorry... that's my pillow.
432
00:17:32,310 --> 00:17:34,550
So it doesn't matter.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
435
00:17:38,580 --> 00:17:41,370
And so Callender puts out
a piece of information
436
00:17:41,390 --> 00:17:44,160
so damning, nobody could survive it.
437
00:17:44,220 --> 00:17:45,420
Hey, guess what?
438
00:17:45,490 --> 00:17:48,520
Jefferson's not as cool as you think.
439
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:54,630
Uh, he is having an affair
with Sally Hemings.
440
00:17:54,700 --> 00:17:55,850
Who's Sally Hemings?
441

Oh. Just his slave.

Are you kidding me?

about that pamphlet?

you hear about this?

448
00:18:09,790 --> 00:18:12,980
don't put it so close to my face, Jerry.
449
00:18:13,050 --> 00:18:15,560

So...
457
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,600
Everyone's, like, looking to Jefferson
458
00:18:30,620 --> 00:18:31,930
to see what he says.
459
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,040
But guess what?
460
00:18:33,110 --> 00:18:35,140
He decides to ignore it.
461
00:18:35,210 --> 00:18:37,670
He just goes, hm.
462
00:18:37,740 --> 00:18:38,810
I'm sorry.
463
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,310
I don't know what you mean.
464
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,330
I don't know. And he's
slowly backing out the door.
465
00:18:42,350 --> 00:18:43,720
And Callender's like,
no, no, no, no, no,
466
00:18:43,740 --> 00:18:45,840
you can't leave. You
have to address this.
467
00:18:45,850 --> 00:18:47,620
Everybody in my past has
addressed these things
468
00:18:47,690 --> 00:18:48,880
as they have come up.
469
00:18:48,950 --> 00:18:51,540
And he just goes, no.
470
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,660
Bye.
471
00:18:54,730 --> 00:18:55,919
[LAUGHS]
472
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,340
And Callender's jaw dropped, like,
473
00:18:58,420 --> 00:18:59,890
what did he just pull on me?
474
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:01,360
And because he didn't care,
475
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,730
the people didn't really care as much.
476
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,200
They're like, hey, Callender,
477
00:19:06,270 --> 00:19:07,290
Callender,
478
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:10,270
nice try, you dink.
479
00:19:10,340 --> 00:19:12,010
His drinking got worse.
480
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,280
He's broke.
481
00:19:13,340 --> 00:19:16,580
And here we are in 1803.
482
00:19:16,650 --> 00:19:18,350
So what happened?
483
00:19:18,420 --> 00:19:20,440
Did he walk down to the James River,
484
00:19:20,460 --> 00:19:23,119
and maybe he was too
wasted and he stumbled?
485
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:24,390
Boom, hit his head,
486
00:19:24,460 --> 00:19:26,490
floated out to the middle, and died?
487
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:27,820
It's possible.
488
00:19:27,890 --> 00:19:31,060
Or was something more sinister going on?
489
00:19:31,130 --> 00:19:33,630
He had a lot of enemies at that point.
490
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:36,870
Hamilton, Adams, uh, Jefferson.
491
00:19:36,930 --> 00:19:39,110
They're founding fathers of America,
492
00:19:39,140 --> 00:19:41,830
and to think that they are suspects
493
00:19:41,860 --> 00:19:43,400
in a murder mystery
494
00:19:43,470 --> 00:19:45,510
is sort of mind-blowing.
