Ladies and gentlemen, we're
sorry about that little scuffle

back there, but you're
going to have that

every once in a while.

We're going to bring Jack
back in just a few minutes.

But first, I want you to meet
one of the greatest bands

around-- New Grass Revival!

Let's hear it!

[cheering]

[music playing]

This is Charlie Chase.

And I'm Lorianne Crook.

And we are again reporting
live from the Opryland Hotel

Pickin' Parlor where
earlier this evening,

a knife-wielding
assailant was tackled

while walking
toward presidential

candidate Jack Tanner.

That's right.

We do know that one person
was injured in the attack.

However, the identity
of that individual

has not yet been
released by the police.

Where is he?

Right over there.

OK, I don't want
any press in here, OK?

Emile, are you--

Hold still.

I'm supposed to say that.
What?

It's nothing.
- --are you all right?

Oh, god.

I, uh-- I tackled
an irate husband.

You what?

I-- I saw this guy
coming through the crowd,

and he had this big knife!

And he was walking
right towards you.

So I assumed he was coming
for you, so I jumped him.

Turns out he was only
looking for his wife.

You were screwing around
with some guy's wife?

TJ, come here.

Great work, Emile.

It's good.

Deke, would you stop?

Get out of here, Deke.

[mixed chatter]

Too rich for my blood.

Why, he doesn't get cable?

No, he doesn't get cable.

How much did you get?

$75?

I'm out.

Welcome to the club, Burt.

Tell me again, sweetheart.

Why, are you going
somewhere? [snorting]

Does anyone want
a throat lozenger?

Oh, would you knock it off?

You're driving everyone crazy.

All right, Seidelman.
$10 says you're an asshole.

Whoa!
[whistling]

I'm out.
I already know that.

Well--

[singing]

[excited yelling]

[cheering]

Don't get my money wet!

What did you have?

A deuce and a nine.

And you drew
those three hearts?

No!

It's illogical.

You're crazy!

And I had such
a pretty straight!

Hey, has anybody ever seen
Burt's pictures of Reagan

crying at Normandy?

Oh, Burt's is classic.

Tight enough to see bacteria.

[laughing]

What else could I do?

I see someone going
into tears, I go macro.

Was primo Daver?

Give me cemetery, tight
on the wheelchairs, please.

Cue Rawhide, then lose it.

Must have been there to
see Muskie come unglued.

Ooh, you're aging yourself.

Frankie, that was '72!

In '72, Burt was a mere
slip of a bursary boy

working his way through Vassar.

Get out of here.

Vassar?

No shit, Burt a Vassar boy?

I thought Vassar
was a girl's college.

I was a legacy.

My mother went.

[laughing]

The old pink and
gray, huh, Burt?

Hey, look!

Look, it's Hayes.

It's Gephardt.

No, no!

Gephardt, Molly.

No, back there.

That's Hayes!

[whistling]

We're going to
change our country--

What are you doing
in the shot, Hayes?

Lookin' good, making news.

[laughing]

[music playing]

Thanks very much, fellas.

Um, what have you heard
about the press bus?

Uh, just talked to the drive.

They're still outside
of Clarksville.

Some of them are hitching in.

What about Andrea?

I think it would
be good to have

somebody take a look at it.

Daddy, don't you
think that Emile

should go to the hospital?
I can take him.

No!
Jack, I'm fine.

It's-- it's just a scratch.

It won't hurt,
Emile, you know?

Jack, how are you?

After what you've
been through?

Big guy with a big knife
attack-- I mean, you-- you

could have been killed, right?
Right?

Be shaken up, OK?

God just tapped you
on the shoulder.

It happens.

I can't dwell on it, you know.

I wouldn't be able
to function, right?

Where did you get this?

"The Candidate's
Manliness Manual"?

Look, Jack, if
you're up to it,

it would be great if
you went back out there.

Maybe even finish your speech.
- Yeah.

No, I think that's
a really stupid idea.

Only if he's up to it.

It would play great, TJ, Like
Reagan joking with the doctors,

remember?

No.

I think he's right, honey.

I can't hide out in
the kitchen, you know?

Look, here.

Take these with you.

If you can be eating
at a time like this,

you definitely have
the right stuff.

[laughing]

All right, give me three.

Let's get some
pajamas for Stanley.

Two for me--

Bigger and bigger.

It's on you, Mike.

Oh, wait, wait.

Newsflash, newsflash.

[shushing]

Newsflash!

CHARLIE CHASE (ON TV):
Congressman Jack Tanner

in his bid for the presidency.

Waylon Jennings was
the headline act.

Several other artists
are here to raise money

for his bid for the presidency.

Apparently, all
that has gone sour.

We understand inside the Pickin'
Parlor, just moments ago,

there was an attack,
apparently on the life

of Congressman Jack.
- Oh my gosh!

LORIANNE CROOK (ON TV):
Actually, that fact

has not yet been confirmed.
- Shut up, shut up!

CHARLIE CHASE (ON TV): Whether
or not the Congressman was

indeed attacked, one thing we do
know for sure is at this point,

Congressman Jack
has not been harmed.

Look!

This is a possible
assassination attempt,

and it's being
covered by twinkies!

Now move it!
- Shut up!

CHARLIE CHASE (ON
TV): --functionary

was indeed injured
during the incident

inside the Pickin' Parlor.

LORIANNE CROOK (ON
TV): That's right.

We do know that one person
was injured in the attack.

However, the identity
of that individual

has not yet been released.

Maybe some car will come by.

Oh, god.

Wait, here comes a car!

Here comes a car!

What are you
gonna do, stop them?

[music playing]

[cheering]

Thank you very much.

[cheering]

Thank you very much.

I see Mr. Tanner coming in now.

Ladies and gentlemen, the next
president of the United States,

Jack Tanner!

[cheering]

[guitar playing]

CROWD: Tanner!

Tanner!

Tanner!

Tanner!

I love the fries.

Good French fries.

Well, where was I?

[laughing]

Seems that guy was looking
for a friend of his wife.

[laughing]

Wasn't lookin' for me.

No.

--back on the
track here, folks.

You know the Democratic
Party has its work

cut out for it this year.

We've got a very
tough act to follow.

For the past seven years,
the overwhelming popularity

of Ronald Reagan has been used
to question the motives of even

the most loyal of opposition.

Now, while there's no question
that this president is

responsible for a great
resurgence of pride

in this country,
Reagan sometimes

reminds me of a quote a woman
made to the sportscaster

Heywood Broun after
the Triple Crown

victories of the great
racehorse Secretariat.

Now after the trauma of
Vietnam and Watergate,

she told Broun that
Secretariat had, quote,

"restored her faith in mankind."

[laughing]

Now, I would submit to
you that Ronald Reagan

is the Secretariat of the 80s.

[laughing]

[applause]

CROWD: You tell 'em!

For the past seven
years, he's presided over

the systematic transformation
of a country that once

sought to be good
to a country that

now seeks only to feel good.

CROWD: Mm-hm.

Get your skirt up, Molly.

Great!

Come on, guys!

Great, great.

Hi.

Can you drive us to Nashville?

Yup.

Get in.

What are you doing in here?

Get in!

Got the camera!

Go!

Go, go, go, go!

[shouting]

[honking]

(SHOUTING) Hey!

Can you take me to Nashville?

[applause]

David Stockman and more
recently, Michael Deaver

have written about a White House
that's intellectually inert,

obsessed with television,
bored by introspection

and ideas of substance.

In fact, the closest
Ronald Reagan

has come to the challenge
of competing ideas

was the day he uttered the
phrase, "Well, sure, we've

got problems, but
let's not throw

the baby out with the dishes."

[laughing]

Thanks very much.

[applause]

[music playing]

He's good.

Good.

[radio music playing]

Boy, that is a fine
way to get killed.

You know, I thought
you were deer.

Shit.

I can't get an interview.

You thought she was a deer?

Well, it wouldn't have
been the first time.

Hell.

Listen, y'all want out up
here at the Chevron station?

No, no, no.

We're going to Nashville.

We thought you-- you were,
uh, driving to Nashville?

Well, I'm going
in that direction.

Yeah, that's right.

But about, um--
about 80 miles aside.

Great.

Well, um-- look, if
you take us to Nashville,

we'll give you $200 cash.

$2-- $200?

Cash!

(WHISPERING) $200?

We're down to the bottom here!

Why, hell.

I reckon I'm just going to
have to get into the house

a little bit late tonight.

Great.

[chatter]

Hey, listen, is there
something going on in Nashville

I don't know about?

Yeah, yup.

It's a presidential candidate
may have been attacked.

We don't know, Jack Tanner.

- No, it's--
- Tanner?

You've had it on AM, right?

Tanner?

Tanner-- I heard of him.

Shit.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, Burt, give
me your monitor.

One step ahead of you, Hayes.

Here, check this out.

Ma'am--

Check that.

Watch out for the battery cable.

Um, are you guys with
some of the local stations

like Knoxville or Jackson?

I'm network.

NBC?

Molly Hark, in the news.

What's local?

You've seen her
mug on the tube, man.

Yeah, you couldn't miss that.

- Well, sure I have!
- Yeah.

I've seen you before!

Well--

[chatter]

I'd be delighted to take
you guys to Nashville!

Great.

Oh thank you, that's great.

For $1,000.

Um, would you take a check?

This is Charlie Chase, and
we're here at the Opryland

Hotel Pickin' Parlor, trying
to put together all the events

surrounding this
bizarre incident that

has occurred here this evening.

The one thing we can tell
you now is that the candidate

has reacted coolly.

He has been described
by people still

inside at the party as
being buoyant, relaxed,

and he's also hungry.

Well, there was
one person injured

in the attack inside the
Pickin' Parlor tonight.

And for more on the
unidentified victim,

Lorianne Crook is standing by
in another section of the hotel.

She is there with the
medic who treated him.

Lorianne.

Oh.

Oh, thank you, Charlie.

I'm going to be
talking to-- I guess

I should say I will be
talking to the actual medic

from Vanderbilt Hospital.

His name is Alfredo Santiga.

Uh, no, ma'am.

I'm-- I'm Bobby Rose.

I was the security here.

Oh, security.

Mr. Rose.

Yes, ma'am.

OK, Mr. Rose, can you
tell me in your own words,

what is the condition of
the victim at this point?

Real good.

It was just a real minor
cut-- no problem, really.

Just a lot of blood
and-- but there was

really no big problem there.

Do you realize I pushed a
state trooper out of the way

to jump on the guy
with the knife?

You what?

I just reacted.

I mean, I wasn't even thinking.

I saw this guy, I
saw the trooper.

I pushed the trooper
out of the way.

I jump on the guy, the
trooper jumps on me.

He's grabbing me, I'm grabbing
the guy, we're rolling around--

(LAUGHING) That's very funny!

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry!

No, no, it really
was very brave.

And-- and you were
protecting Dad.

[laughing]

Thank you.

[kissing]

(LAUGHING) I still can't wait to
see Deke's tape of it, though.

Yeah?

Hey, Jack.

Come over here.

Someone here I want you to meet.

Sure.

This is our good
sheriff, Fay Thomas.

Congressman, how
in the world are ya?

Good to meet you.

Yeah, I didn't
know-- we didn't have

to have the sheriff out here.

Well, I-- did
you have a problem?

No, no, no.

A little minor altercation.

Well, I hope nothing
serious happened.

No, no.

I wish you all the
luck in the world.

Thanks very much.

- You did well in Nashville.
- Thank you.

I don't know how you done it.

[laughing]

Well, uh--

Sheriff, I'll see you later.

Thank you.

Hey, Jack, sit
down here a minute.

I want to talk to
you about something.

Do you know-- maybe we
should get you to a hospital.

Get you some shots or something?

No, no shots.

No.

I hate shots.

God, I'd rather have rabies.

Emile, the treatment for
rabies is, like, 100 shots--

- Shots in the--
- --stomach.

Yup, I know.

No, it's a lot--

Well, I think you may be
making a mistake, you know?

You've got a whole pack
of them, and ain't nobody

saying nothing, you know?

I mean, maybe you-- you
gotta be a lead dog,

you gotta jump out there.

Jump on somebody, beat them up.

Mm-hm.

Gore or maybe
Dukakis or one of them.

Yeah.

But you can't just, you
know-- You gotta-- you

gotta just beat up on somebody.

Yeah, that's a good point.

JACK TANNER (ON TV): Better
move to the right on defense

and a lot of other issues.

And lately, you've been sounding
more like Al Haig than Al Gore.

[applause]

AL GORE (ON TV): That--
that line sounds more like

Richard Nixon than Richard--

CHARLIE CHASE (ON
TV): What we can

tell you now is that
national police are working--

That's Charlie Chase.

It's on Channel 2.

LORIANNE CROOK (ON
TV): That's right.

police lieutenant
Alfredo Santiga has--

Can you believe
these yokels are

sitting on this entire story?

And that is Lorianne Crook.

She is fine.

Nice lips.

Source of local pride, is she?

Yeah.

Yeah, you know some people think
she is the next Charlie Chase?

Would you like the, uh,
follow-up question, David?

Yeah, how much
further to Nashville?

Oh, I don't know.

I never been there before.

Neither one jumps out there.
Do something.

Right.
I'm going to do it.

All right.

Thanks for tonight,
Will, you know?

Besides that, too, don't
forget them preachers.

You just gotta--
you gotta remember,

they put their britches on the
same way you do every morning.

And all them's got some
skeletons in their closet

just sure as the world.
- Yeah.

I tell you what--
they keep talking

about the great Judgment Day.

Why don't you help them
along a little bit?

(LAUGHING) OK.

Yeah, make 'em
'fess up a little bit.

Cleanse their soul.
- OK.

- It'll work.
- Thanks again.

Aw, good luck.

I'll see you soon.

See you later.

Danny.

Mr. Jennings, M if I
join you for a minute?

You skipped on me.

I was looking for you.

How are ya?

Oh, I was talking to
the old lady on the phone.

Jesus, you look great.

You can't still be
drinking like you used to.

Needless to say, I still am.

Yeah, well, whatever you're
doing, you're doing it right.

You were killing them.

Hell, I mailed it
in and you know it.

Oh, watch the road
just for a second?

Son, I have been driving
since I was 12 years old.

I-- I know what I'm doing.
- I'm just trying to--

Y'all asked me.

I got all wound up now.

I'm gonna tell you what's wrong.

The Ayatollah is a asshole.

We got a sticker around
here that says that.

Do you ever see that?

I bet you don't have one
of them up in New York.

In the Jew York--
that's what-- I'm sorry

if any of y'all
were Jews-- we call

it the Jew York in Nashville.

For damn good reason, too.

This is David Seidelman and--

[clearing throat]

Oh, OK, all right.

No offense, no offense.

I'm just-- that's a little joke.

You know my daddy said
that kind of thing.

But I tell you what-- there's
only two things in this world

that's always in season.

You know what it is?

That's a goat and a woman.

You seen Billy
since you got in town?

Billy?

Billy's in Nashville?

That's not like you, Jack.

You used to keep up.

Yeah, Billy's a
chaplain over at Fisk.

He's also still in
the thick of it.

And a lot of people
think if he wants it,

he's got a good shot at
Sasser's seat in '89.

Is that right?

Yeah, go see him, Jack.

Billy would be
really disappointed

if he-- he found out you
hit town and didn't call.

Right, I'll do it.

Yup.

It's good to see you, Danny.

Good to see you.

Take care of yourself.

[raining]

Have you ever met Andrea Hart?

No, Hayes, I haven't.

You should.

It's not my responsibility
to think about Gary

Hart's daughter, Hayes.

It's Gary's.

The same is true of Joe
Biden and his family.

The same is true of
Paul Lexalt and his.

These people make
their own choices.

All we can do is react.

So where does that
leave us with our choices?

Jesus, Hayes, you know, I--
I just don't understand you.

You-- you pick through
other people's trash.

And when you find something
that genuinely stinks,

you just hold your nose.

You end up writing
these fuzzy, warm,

he's only human, uh,
humanistic profiles.

And what-- what does that do?

What does that get you?

Forgive me, David.

See, I-- I'm more interested
in, uh, understanding

than, uh, condemning.

Jesus.

No wonder nobody wants
to sit next to you.

I'm telling you,
it's the truth.

Don't go away.

I can't wait to find out.

Please don't go away.

You can buy some new clothes?

Uh, bartender, let
me ask you a question.

Yes, ma'am.

I need to know where
the nearest drugstore is.

Through the main lobby, ma'am.

OK.

Teej--

What?

- Get real.
- What?

You don't think he's cute?

He's cute, but
he's a musician.

So?

Get one night of him, and
you never see his ass again.

How do you know this?

I know.

She knows.

[chuckling]

Do you want to make
a difference, Hayes?

Or don't you?

These guys-- each of
them wants to be the most

powerful person on the planet!

You know what that means?

That means right away,
we're not dealing

with well-adjusted here.

We're-- we're dealing
with obsession.

And obsession cannot
go ignored, not here.

The stakes are too high.

So yeah, you-- you go
with whatever it is you

have on Tanner.

Quit jerking yourself around.

Go.

Because you know, that it's
only a question of time

before I find about it myself.

And go with it myself.

How did you know I
have anything on Tanner?

I didn't.

Now I do.

[music playing]

[chuckling]

Let me-- let me
tell you something.

No Joe-- Joe-- just hang in
there with me for a minute, OK?

3 o'clock in the morning is not
a classy time to call somebody,

you know?

10 o'clock starts to be classy.

[sniffling]

Tomorrow?

How can they report out
of committee tomorrow?

Tomorrow's the weekend.

Mm.

Um, well call-- uh,
well, what's his name?

The Republican from Ohio?

Tolland, right.

Call him.

Tell him the facts of life.

This administration's
only got nine more months.

They're losing their leverage,
they've lost their ability

to control events effectively.

God.

Somebody has got to
tell Elliott Abrams

that the world has changed.

The Cold War is
over, and we won.

Listen, I gotta go.

I-- I gotta get some sleep.

I'm flying to Detroit
in the morning.

Yeah.

Well let me know what happens.

Bye.

Shit, I didn't know
we won the Cold War.

How do you, uh, get
your hair to do this, huh?

Electroshock.

[laughing] Shock me.

(SINGING) Every time I feel
the Spirit moving in my heart,

I will pray.

Every time I feel the
Spirit moving in my heart.

Thank you.

CHOIR: (SINGING) --I will pray.

On the mountain, my Lord
spoke out of his mouth

came fire and smoke.

Thanks.

I'm going over to
Fisk University.

Know where that is?

CHOIR: (SINGING) Every time
I feel the Spirit moving

in my heart, I will pray.

Every time I feel the
Spirit moving in my heart,

I will pray.

On the mountain, my Lord
spoke, out of his mouth

came fire and smoke.

Jordan River, chilly
and cold, chills

the body but not the soul.

Every time I hear the
Spirit moving in my heart,

I will pray.

Every time I hear the
Spirit, moving in my heart,

I will pray.

All around me looked
so fine, asked

the Lord if all were mine.

Ain't but one train
on the track--

Hold it.

Hold it, hold it, hold it.

Modulation, modulation.

I want some
modulation, all right?

[group protesting]
- Modulation?

What are you trying to--
kill off the Jubilee Singers?

I'm not trying to kill
off the Jubilee Singers.

You all are magnificent.

You are the best.

Now, I want you to transcend
your own greatness, all right?

Come on.

Come on.

Let's take that
last refrain again.

1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2--

CHOIR: (SINGING)
Every time I hear--

How come you don't have
any gray in your hair?

Jack!

Jack Tanner!

How are you, Billy?

Real good, real
good, real good.

Uh, listen up,
everybody, I want you

to meet an old friend of mine.

Jack Tanner, he's
running for president.

[group chatter]

Well, he's a good man, but
I'm going to have to beat him.

OK, you all, uh, continue on.

I gotta catch up on 20 years.

Hey, come on up here.

Well, it's about time that
you, uh, stopped by to-- you

know, I think you must have
blown in town five times

this winter without,
uh, giving me a call!

Well, I didn't know
you were in Nashville.

I ran into Darst last night.

He told me you were here.

Yeah, ol' Danny.

Now, that's a serious sinner.

He also told me you were the
power in the black community.

He says you're known
throughout the New South.

Is that right?

You found that real
interesting, huh?

What do you mean?

Well, Jack, it's been 20
years since you looked me up.

Well, Billy, come on.

That's out of line.

Now, that-- that cuts
both ways, right?

Yeah, but I'm not
running for president.

Hey, that's not the
purpose of this visit.

I mean, come on.

I came here alone and unarmed.

Give me a break.

Are we gonna reminisce
about Memphis Mary or what?

Memphis Mary.

You know, Memphis got married?

Is that right?

Yeah.

Not to you, I hope.

Oh, no, no, no.

But I conducted the service.

I could-- I could barely
keep a straight face.

God, those kids are good.

Yeah, they're coming along.

Alex?

Yeah, Stringer.

Hope I didn't wake you.

To answer the phone.

Right, yeah, sorry.

Uh, look, is your dad around?

I can't find him anywhere.

He's supposed to have 10:30
with local TV, and he's nowhere.

Who?

Billy Crier?

Is that who-- like you mean the
Reverend Billy Crier at Fisk?

My god, does he know him?

Why didn't he tell me?

Are you kidding?

Crier would be a
tremendous boost for him

in this part of the world.

Molly!

Hold a minute.

Now, where'd he go?

Over to the campus?

Right.

No, don't worry.

I'll find him.

Thanks.

What's up?

Scoop.

Yeah.

Welcome to Nashville.

Walk this way.

CHOIR: (SINGING) Done
made my vow to the Lord

and I never will turn back.

I will go.

I shall go to see
what the end will be.

Done opened my mouth to the
Lord and I never will turn back.

Oh, I will go.

I shall go.

To see what the end will be.

Now, I think she was
a friend of Andy's.

By the way, have you
seen Andy lately?

Yeah, just before
Super Tuesday.

He was at a rally down
at the Peach Tree.

Turns out he still
likes being mayor,

which surprises me, frankly.

I thought he'd be
restless by now.

Yeah, well, Atlanta
is manageable.

It's got a future.

Which means that Andy does, too.

Do you remember the final leg
of the march into Montgomery?

And Andy brought me and a
bunch of other ministers

to be on the front
line with Martin?

Yeah.

Do you know that Andy put us
up there because he had gotten

word through SNCC
that there might be

an assassination
attempt on Martin's life

when we entered into town?

Yeah.

So Andy, knowing that there
wasn't a prayer that Martin

would drop out, decided to take
white folks at their word--

that we all look alike to them.

So there we were, all in blue
suits, marching with Martin.

Yeah, sure.

Spreading the danger.

Distributing the risk.

It's at the heart of
the nonviolent strategy.

That's a good strategy
