thing here you make you said the

magistrate who sits in judgment on him

this

time you may put him out of your life in

a way he cannot recover

[Music]

[Music]

it was the final ascendancy of the

Common

Man the Crux of the American

civilization was that the common man

could express himself in and through

this

society and be himself responsible for

that expression he did not have to be

Noble

born or have inherited wealth or be a

member of a bureaucratic or a political

Elite if there was nobility it was less

in looking to the hero than in the

individual's own

striving his nobility was expressed not

so much in what he achieved but in his

testing of

himself in striving for the limits of

his ability

[Applause]

[Music]

my M CL you look like you got yourself

involved in some honest labor Jim allow

me to introduce the young Mr William

mford well now I'm pleased to meet you

actually you've been in a bit of the

news of late made the area wide radio

well Clayton Cullen what have you gone

and gotten yourself into

now this is my wife Melanie

William this is Devon Milford son

William Milford

ain't he

just come on William let me show you

where you can clean up and then we'll

get something to that stomach of yours

you like to be called William or Bill or

what they're real serious about this one

we're not going to stay long I don't

know I don't think we're spotted you go

through the usual people

mostly stronger threats bigger

bribes everybody's got a

limit he's

important feeling a little bit at old

religious commitment sneaking back up on

[Music]

[Music]

you clear very

good everything will be

fine you're keeping something from

me no no you have as much information as

I do no I I don't mean about Devon about

you about what

I I don't know why do you think

this you've never told me

everything and

[Music]

you more

more ultimately there are things none of

us know no matter how much we think we

know plan there is there is all was the

unexpected so

surprise we

will my little My Little

American

soon who knows you may be leading your

own

country why is it every time we leave

each other

I I feel I'll never see you

again one time it will be

true do

you do we love each other you of course

we do lovers

comrades I betrayed my husband with you

for the boss and we were

a wonderful result

[Music]

this time she'll have him executed I

don't know could be a little tricky for

her this new job Deputy Governor General

she's got to look

good putting her ex in the front of the

firing squad I don't know some people

might think that's a little too tough a

way to get

divorced a show trial public

humiliation that's

good disgraced hero comes back kidnaps

one kid assaults the

other the great Devon Milford just

another criminal maybe there's even some

conditioning from the camp they can

trigger get him

to confess his errors and declare

himself an enemy of the people so what

do we

do

nothing maybe for now we just get the

word around that he's here and they've

got him what good will that do I don't

know but it'll be a chance to see see if

the name Devon Milford really does mean

anything anymore to who to us to

them maybe even to

him there seems to be a

problem I'm

told you'll still have some kind of

following a kind of hero and

Absentia in my position here I have a

responsibility to see that things go

smoothly in this area now your Behavior

your presence here seems to be

disruptive now what if we execute you it

would certainly end it from one

standpoint but would that make you into

a Marty more of a threat dead than

alive tell

me what were you going to do once you've

got your children

take them and Join the Revolution

against their mother or were they going

to become

fugitives always hiding or were you

going to try to make it back to

Milford your wife would tear down that

town house by house to find

them to destroy

you maybe I'm just trying to understand

how a man who had your father following

your

strength could allow himself to be

betrayed by the woman closest to

him or were you like the rest of your

countrymen almost happy to accept

failure because it meant you didn't

really have to take responsibility

anymore when it came down to

it you allowed yourself to be betrayed

allowed it to

happen maybe you were even grateful that

it saved you from having to prove

yourself and this debate will be the

only time the three candidates have

faced each other the independent

candidate Massachusetts congressman

Devon Milford is just arve we'll see if

we can't get a a word with Congressman

Milford Congressman Milford is Accused

by the Republican candidate Senator

winrop and Democratic hopeful Daniel

brand of being a spoiler with no real

chance of winning while bringing into

the campaign confusion and device of

this how's it going so far sir can we

have a comment why participate in this

debate if you consider the election

great the only access I'll have to the

national press and the national network

as you know I've not been allowed to

reach the American

people rum that your candidacy has been

run every one of you knows that this

election is a farce you ladies and

gentlemen of the press have been less

than honest in reporting to the American

people what's going on in this country

in the principle of Free Press America

has allowed itself to be controlled by

special interests and ultimately by a

foreign power just as by abandoning the

principle of the United Nations we've

allowed the Russians to usurp its name

and debase its function who do you are

you only talking like this because

you've been Senator Senator what do you

say about the allegation the congressman

has made about the elections being

rigged by the Soviets let me answer you

Congressman are you afraid to confront

the truth I'm asking for the truth

Senator I'm absolutely amazed that any

American let alone a candidate for the

top Office of the land would have that

kind of demoralized defeated picture of

this great country of ours I mean I

travel across this country back and

forth and I see us on the verge of a

wonderful dyamic productive future many

of these ladies and gentlemen of the

press have traveled with me have you

seen any Russian troops no well hell

we've gone through the tough times but

but we're coming out of them I think I

can shed some light on that Mr turn

right up here sir

I've been troubled by Congressman

milford's approach to this election I

think this election is one of the most

important in this country's history

we're just beginning to see the light at

the end of the tunnel and for the first

time as far back as I can remember I

don't wake up every morning afraid that

the world is going to be annihilated by

nuclear war whether intentionally or

accidentally what I wake up with is a

faith in America restored as strong as

ever not militarily but spiritually and

I wonder who wants a weak and divided

America something which would come about

through the same kind of campaign that

Devin Milfred is running sowing seeds of

Doubt of division and I wonder who would

think of this election as a chance to

gain control which they do not already

have let's get past the innuendos and

talk about some facts these are not

innuendo sir I have proof where's the

proof where's it from Mr where's it from

where Proof come from Mr BR Charles

abery the state department correspondent

for the Washington star has this

afternoon brought forth some astounding

evidence that proves not only that

Congressman Milford is a sham candidate

but also that he is a traitor to his

country Congress respons watch it

where did you get this where did you get

this I accuse you Devin Milford of being

a Soviet agent and you have been one

since you return from Vietnam and your

wife what the hell is this let him talk

let him talk let him talk your wife you

leave my wife out of this has for the

past 3 years been forced by her husband

her agent husband to sleep with the

Soviet k

look at her look at her face tell me

that's not true look at her

look tell me that isn't

true she was of course seen as a mar the

best political

platform M

them what's the matter with you man you

were betrayed and yet you just sit there

were all your guts ripped out in the

camp or didn't you ever really have

any my

grandfather spent years in a camp that

would make the one you were in look like

a vacation and yet with his last breath

his last ounce of strength he was never

beaten

destroyed but never damn

you damn you

damn you for forcing your way into my

[Music]

life we got the whole floor can you

believe it this gu's all over the place

is this the way it's going to be got to

get a bigger car for dates it's a little

exaggerated at the moment because it's a

transition and nobody knows quite what

to expect including us God daddyy you

Maan how does it feel picking up uh

where the meat packing Baron of Omaha

left off well you said you didn't want

[Music]

same are

you I'm not

things been through things I never even

dreamed

of what just happened to me wasn't real

was

like old pictures out of Nazi

concentration

camps couldn't happen to

me Amanda I know how you

feel now how do you know how I feel you

weren't there how could you know it

wasn't just nothing that happened there

Peter it was an atrocity I don't want

Comfort that's not what I need

now something happened

there

something something

wonderful in the midst of all that

horror I found something in

myself we all did the

town all the feeling we had toward the

Exiles the fear and the

hostility when their Camp was destroyed

the town's people took them in and it

wasn't just charity or

generosity I found

courage I found

that scared as I

was I could do something

do something I believed

in the last few days in

Washington I needed you so much us being

able to talk things over

I thought about what's happened to us

the last few years the kind of society

were

becoming a

fear

paranoia and I

realized it's not nearly as bad as it

could

be or maybe will be if somebody anybody

who has a chance doesn't do

something

me if maybe I don't try to do

[Music]

something I went to the Lincoln

Memorial and I thought if he were here

today he wouldn't be thinking the most

important thing was keeping the country

[Music]

together but to hang on to some of the

princip

principles somehow keeping something out

of

this our

dignity the hope that it can be better

more of what we always thought we were

as a

people I have to do

that that's what I've

decided and to do that I have to make

choices compromises

[Music]

people at least in appearance if you are

going to

survive I know what I'm doing if you

blindly

unjustified murder of the father of your

children you will become a feared and

despised person and whatever exaggerated

ideas you have of yourself you are

taken for arraignment

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

I will not be intimidated take this

information he's still dangerous don't

you see that what a

sybol symbols can be

turned who could have imagined Abraham

Lincoln turned on his

head can you keep it

straight all the strategies and

deceptions I

wonder is it time just

about I'm what about the

defense he refused the public

defender thank you

what for

All

Rise the fourth district area court is

now in session people's Magistrate Mar

and Andrews reciting

[Applause]

The Prisoner has rejected Council yes

your honor the state applied public

defender was

refused why I don't know your honor

it's my duty to make you

aware of your right to councel if not of

your choosing then appointed by the

court do you understand the seriousness

of the charges against you I understand

you have the power to do pretty much

what you want to do how does the

defendant plead damn it Marion I don't

plead this court holds the power to

judge you and of will what does that

mean holds a

power over what life and

death I think a simple divorce would

have been

sufficient I I I pity

you it's sad enough that you destroyed

your life now you want to come back here

and Destroy ours you've done a pretty

good job of that by yourself you're in

contempt of this court I'm in contempt

of everything you've

done I saw

Caleb restrain the prisoner I saw what

you've done for him you're his mother

for God's sake where's

Billy he's free

[Applause]

I had hoped you'd be more Cooperative at

least where the welfare of your own

child is

concerned do you remember when he was

born

for the longest time the kid refused to

be

born then all of a sudden he

came pushing his way

out big and strong and

yelling nothing could stop

him he was

beautiful it wasn't

yours it wasn't

mine he belonged to himself

I see the prison has done nothing to

help you become a better

citizen you're still a dangerous

subversive you're blinded by thoughts of

Revenge toward me and would

use innocent children to get at

me you know what's

funny I don't hate

you I wish I

could but I do hate you for what you've

done to the

children what you tried to do to Billy

and what you've done to

Caleb and for that I'll fight

you Court finds in your behavior clear

indication of mental imbalance

the court finds the defendant incapable

of Discerning the issues of these

proceedings as it

rules the defendant be remanded to the

custody of the psychiatric evaluation

[Music]

division for observation and

determination of

the defendant's confidence to stand

trial All

Rise

Maran if you have the

power why are you so afraid right

[Music]

Dam him damn

him

sir there is a dispute over the

disposition of the prisoner members of

the party intelligence agency have come

to take

custody they don't want to miss this

time it's an internal matter what

difference does make to

us indeed

what he is under my

protection protection sir

control just make sure no one but our

security man even come near him is that

clear yes

sir it's

okay have you ever been a prisoner no

sir

sometimes I feel like I've been one my

entire life

sir Serge what of the man who stood here

this afternoon

sir what is your impression

honestly a man of

courage or a

fool in any case he's not afraid

our agents tried to take control of them

and were refused that means the area

adviser is not through with them

yet what does Andre

want I don't trust him how long can he

hold Milford it's not an area

matter you can always play your trump

card they won't allow themselves to be

used against each

other besides generald sanov has no

respect for those who can't solve their

own

problems as Deputy Governor General

you'll have clearer

jurisdiction don't lose

him I think the best way to handle this

might be the facility in Omaha from a

public perspective he would simply be

going in for psychological

evaluation and we could apply some of

the experimental techniques we see

what's left of him when they're through

with him I don't want him

altered I want him

killed I don't care how you do it um the

hospital can do it or you can it doesn't

matter just want to be free of him

Colonel Denise off

man' sorry to Burge in on your like

this comrade Denise off ah Mr

L well you feel excuse

me final solution to the child custody

dispute

H I would like you to order the Special

Service Unit in Milford back to town to

find

Billy I will make you a trade what do

you want I want to prevent you from

doing something which will damage

yourself and our overall

cause if you are seen to be too closely

involved

in whatever happens to

him that will be something which in the

future will damage you much more than

anything you have to fear from here

you're still trying to protect him allow

him to make a statement are you mad to

the people out in the

street now what can he say the only

dissemination would be by Word of

Mouth a simple gesture would make it

look as if you are indifferent to him as

if you have nothing to fear from him now

that would be a much stronger statement

than anything he can

say then turn him over to the new

Administration let the governor

General's office take care of the court

order you will order the UNS you into

Milford to conduct a search only you

give me your word that you'll deliver

him for

evaluation wherever you

choose Omaha the people's acceptance

Hospital fine

hey hey hey hey what the hell you doing

here hey what you mean it was on the

assignment sheet shut that stuff off

there not to be any coverage of this

none look I just go where I'm told I

mean the assignments come out of the

advisory committe well somebody's going

to lose his job magistrate Andrews wants

no coverage of

this all right looks like a mistake to

me it's a good story for the magistrate

I'm sure she'll appreciate your

opinion okay Bo pack it

up John come here

turn the camera on and let it

run do you understand what might happen

to

you yes and you are not afraid of course

I'm afraid

yet you do nothing to save yourself I do

everything to save myself no no no that

is

sophistry I would like to save your

life

why I see no purpose served by your

death as long as you're responsible for

the subjugation of my

country we're still enemies I am

responsible

for things being much better than they

might have been I am responsible for

trying to find a solution to the

occupation which leaves you with some

honor and some hope for the future I've

seen your

future reflected in my

wife my sons there will never be another

America that is a fact of life all it is

an issue is the nature of what is to

come you can help your people not give

them false hope but genuinely help

them

now your friend Peter

Bradford do you believe he is a good man

an honest

man

yes is the no governor general he will

do everything that is possible for the

benefit of his

countrymen that's his

Instinct now we accept him because there

is a way for his best effort efforts for

the area to be compatible with the

interests of the Soviet Union but he

needs

support he needs to be able to

survive possibly even

against the influence of

people like your

wife across the road from this

Courthouse are a great many people

perhaps you noticed them when you

arrived all presumably

because of

you you still have

influence and you want me to say

something in support of

Peter something you genuinely believe

about the

man particularly in contrast to your

wife 5 years ago I might have killed

you I might have thought that would do

the more was

good it would have done

nothing at least no good
