Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:54,489 --> 00:01:55,532
I still can't understand
2
00:01:55,616 --> 00:01:57,534
why Pete would want
to go into politics.
3
00:01:58,327 --> 00:02:00,037
Maybe he wants to do
something to help his city.
4
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,790
[scoffs] Since when did
a politician want to help
anybody except himself?
5
00:02:03,874 --> 00:02:05,709
You know, they're all
crooks and liars.
6
00:02:05,792 --> 00:02:08,503
Oh come on, Mark,
there's a lot of good,
honest people in public office.
7
00:02:08,587 --> 00:02:10,464
Honest?
You can't be honest.
8
00:02:10,547 --> 00:02:12,633
You tell the truth,
you don't get elected.
9
00:02:12,716 --> 00:02:13,759
Well, whose fault is that?
10
00:02:13,842 --> 00:02:15,302
The politician
or the people
who vote for him?
11
00:02:15,385 --> 00:02:18,847
Both. The people want
the government to be
everything for them.
12
00:02:18,930 --> 00:02:22,100
But they won't elect
the guy who says they're
gonna have to pay for it.
13
00:02:22,184 --> 00:02:25,896
We're getting to be like
a bunch of spoiled kids
with bad parents.
14
00:02:26,563 --> 00:02:28,023
Would you mind telling me
why we are going over
15
00:02:28,106 --> 00:02:29,900
to your friend's
campaign headquarters
to help?
16
00:02:30,233 --> 00:02:32,235
Because Pete Nelson
is not a politician.
17
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:34,780
He's a cop who
worked his way
through law school,
18
00:02:34,863 --> 00:02:36,365
thinks he can
make a difference.
19
00:02:36,448 --> 00:02:39,368
When you look in the dictionary
under the word "integrity,"
20
00:02:39,451 --> 00:02:40,952
you'll find Pete's
picture there.
21
00:02:41,036 --> 00:02:42,412
Then he's
running for mayor,
22
00:02:42,496 --> 00:02:44,706
because he wants to do
something for his city.
23
00:02:45,582 --> 00:02:46,833
Isn't that what
I just said?
24
00:02:46,917 --> 00:02:48,168
Yeah, one of us said it.
25
00:02:48,251 --> 00:02:50,462
The other one said
that he doesn't trust
any politicians.
26
00:02:52,047 --> 00:02:53,965
What are you
listening to him for?
27
00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:26,957
[Mark] I told you,
he don't even look
like a politician.
28
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,668
How would you know
what a politician looks like?
29
00:03:29,751 --> 00:03:31,420
Hey, how are you?
30
00:03:31,503 --> 00:03:34,131
You always were good at
sneaking up on people.
31
00:03:34,881 --> 00:03:37,008
Hey, listen, I want you to meet
my friend, Jonathan Smith.
32
00:03:37,092 --> 00:03:40,178
Listen, we kind of work
together these days,
if that's all right with you.
33
00:03:40,262 --> 00:03:41,388
-Welcome aboard.
-Thank you.
34
00:03:41,471 --> 00:03:42,806
I can use
all the help
I can get.
35
00:03:42,889 --> 00:03:44,224
Come on in,
I'll show you around.
36
00:03:44,307 --> 00:03:46,017
Where you taking us to,
a smoke-filled room?
37
00:03:46,101 --> 00:03:49,521
As a matter of fact,
I am, except nobody
smokes anymore.
38
00:03:58,071 --> 00:04:00,240
Ann, look who I found
out in the streets.
39
00:04:01,283 --> 00:04:04,244
Mark Gordon.
Oakland's finest.
40
00:04:05,162 --> 00:04:06,204
How you doing?
41
00:04:06,288 --> 00:04:09,416
Oh, I'm fine.
I'm so glad
to see you.
42
00:04:11,126 --> 00:04:14,004
I'd like you to meet my
campaign manager, Phil Schott.
43
00:04:14,087 --> 00:04:17,841
Phil, this is Mark Gordon
and Jonathan Smith,
44
00:04:17,924 --> 00:04:19,551
our new advance men.
45
00:04:19,634 --> 00:04:22,220
We've already got advance men,
professional advance men.
46
00:04:22,387 --> 00:04:23,555
[Mark] That's the problem.
47
00:04:23,638 --> 00:04:25,682
You professionals
treat me like I'm
running for president.
48
00:04:26,099 --> 00:04:29,227
I can't even go to the bathroom
without a press release.
49
00:04:29,311 --> 00:04:32,063
I've known Mark Gordon
for 20 years.
50
00:04:32,147 --> 00:04:34,608
He's a buddy,
not a PR man.
51
00:04:34,691 --> 00:04:38,445
Besides, if anyone can keep
his perspective under fire,
52
00:04:38,528 --> 00:04:40,030
-it's Mark Gordon.
-Right.
53
00:04:40,405 --> 00:04:42,741
Perspective doesn't
win elections, Pete.
54
00:04:42,824 --> 00:04:44,117
Money wins elections,
55
00:04:44,201 --> 00:04:45,869
media exposure
wins elections,
56
00:04:45,952 --> 00:04:47,496
advertising wins elections.
57
00:04:48,163 --> 00:04:49,706
You'll have to
forgive Phil.
58
00:04:49,790 --> 00:04:51,458
He doesn't have much
faith in the voter.
59
00:04:51,541 --> 00:04:53,543
I don't have
much faith
in anything
60
00:04:53,627 --> 00:04:55,754
except getting my candidate
up on the podium
61
00:04:55,837 --> 00:04:58,673
with a smile on his face,
come election night.
62
00:04:58,757 --> 00:05:02,177
There is only one rule
in politics. That's to win.
63
00:05:02,260 --> 00:05:04,971
Richard Osbourne knows
that rule, believe me.
64
00:05:05,055 --> 00:05:06,181
Who's Richard Osbourne?
65
00:05:07,057 --> 00:05:08,767
He's the enemy,
right, dad?
66
00:05:10,936 --> 00:05:12,979
Don't tell me
this is Jeff!
67
00:05:13,063 --> 00:05:14,231
Well, it had better be.
68
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:17,234
Or I've been feeding
the wrong boy
all these years.
69
00:05:18,235 --> 00:05:21,488
This is the guy who threw
the first pass you ever
caught, son.
70
00:05:22,113 --> 00:05:24,491
And now he's all-city
tight end, Mark.
71
00:05:24,574 --> 00:05:25,784
You're Mark Gordon?
72
00:05:26,117 --> 00:05:27,619
Yeah, that's right.
73
00:05:27,994 --> 00:05:29,329
Well, I'll be...
74
00:05:30,372 --> 00:05:32,666
The last time I saw you,
you were about this high.
75
00:05:32,749 --> 00:05:34,501
I remember you being
a little bigger, too.
76
00:05:34,584 --> 00:05:36,503
Well, everybody changes
over the years.
77
00:05:37,546 --> 00:05:38,672
Almost everybody.
78
00:05:40,423 --> 00:05:42,884
I can't promise to change
the system overnight,
79
00:05:42,968 --> 00:05:46,096
but I guarantee you that
if I'm elected mayor,
80
00:05:46,179 --> 00:05:49,057
there will be enough books
in the schoolrooms,
81
00:05:49,140 --> 00:05:52,352
and the kids will be
able to play in their
schoolyard without fear.
82
00:05:52,435 --> 00:05:54,062
That's what
the last mayor said.
83
00:05:54,145 --> 00:05:55,897
Now what makes
you different?
84
00:05:55,981 --> 00:05:58,066
Because the last mayor didn't
make you pay the price.
85
00:05:58,149 --> 00:05:59,776
What price?
Higher taxes?
86
00:05:59,859 --> 00:06:02,612
I won't rule outhigher taxes if necessary.
87
00:06:02,696 --> 00:06:06,866
Look, in Japan, teachersare in the upper 10%of the wage scale.
88
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:10,579
In the United States,they're in the bottom 10%.
89
00:06:10,662 --> 00:06:12,872
But I'm talkingabout what you,
90
00:06:12,956 --> 00:06:15,166
what you must payas parents.
91
00:06:15,250 --> 00:06:18,336
The best teacherin the world is a parent.
92
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:21,214
The best crime preventionI know of
93
00:06:21,298 --> 00:06:24,884
is the example parentsgive their children at home.
94
00:06:24,968 --> 00:06:26,761
[scoffs] You believe
that Nelson?
95
00:06:26,845 --> 00:06:28,388
First, he won't
rule out higher taxes,
96
00:06:28,471 --> 00:06:30,557
then he wants the people
to solve their own problems.
97
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,392
You see, people want answers,
they don't want lectures.
98
00:06:33,310 --> 00:06:35,812
Yeah, well, whatever he's
saying, it's working.
99
00:06:35,895 --> 00:06:37,314
These overnight
tracking polls
100
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:40,066
still have him with
higher integrity numbers
than you have,
101
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:41,943
and lower negatives.
102
00:06:42,027 --> 00:06:45,238
Well, we'll see what
Pete Nelson's
integrity numbers are
103
00:06:45,322 --> 00:06:47,365
after we nail
his father-in-law.
104
00:06:49,826 --> 00:06:53,288
Pratt, how are you
and the U.S. Attorney
doing on the Steelgrave case?
105
00:06:53,955 --> 00:06:54,831
Hmm?
106
00:06:55,582 --> 00:06:57,334
Of course he did
inside trading,
107
00:06:57,417 --> 00:06:59,252
and he cheated
on his taxes.
108
00:06:59,336 --> 00:07:01,630
Nobody made that kind of
money by being honest.
109
00:07:01,713 --> 00:07:02,964
[chuckles]
110
00:07:04,341 --> 00:07:06,217
That's what I like
to hear, yeah.
111
00:07:06,301 --> 00:07:09,387
Um... don't let anybody know
where you got this idea.
112
00:07:11,097 --> 00:07:12,724
-Dad.
-What?
113
00:07:12,807 --> 00:07:14,559
Are we still going to
the game on Saturday?
114
00:07:14,643 --> 00:07:15,852
[Richard] What game?
115
00:07:15,936 --> 00:07:17,354
The game between
Taft and Kennedy.
116
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:20,065
Well you want me to
go watch Nelson's kid
beat your school?
117
00:07:21,149 --> 00:07:22,609
Jeff Nelson
isn't that good.
118
00:07:22,692 --> 00:07:23,568
We can beat them.
119
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:26,196
"We"? "We"? What are you
talking about, "we"?
120
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:27,280
You didn't
make the team.
121
00:07:27,864 --> 00:07:29,658
Sheila, I want to go over
these debate notes.
122
00:07:29,741 --> 00:07:31,117
[Sheila] Good idea.
123
00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:34,162
Look, I think the harder
we hit the drug issue,
the better.
124
00:07:34,245 --> 00:07:36,539
I mean, it's headline
stuff every day now.
125
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,541
We can't go wrong.
126
00:07:38,625 --> 00:07:42,003
[Richard] Well, I want
to drop that bombshell
on Nelson tonight.
127
00:07:42,087 --> 00:07:44,214
[Sheila] I thought
you wanted to save
that one for a while.
128
00:07:44,297 --> 00:07:46,216
[Richard] Well, no, I think
it's good timing right now
129
00:07:46,299 --> 00:07:49,177
because look, it got Ginsburg
out in nothing, flat.
130
00:07:55,141 --> 00:07:56,267
-How you doing today?
-Good.
131
00:07:56,351 --> 00:07:57,769
There's some
seats right there.
132
00:07:57,852 --> 00:07:59,062
Hi, how you doing?
133
00:07:59,145 --> 00:08:01,272
Nice to see you here.
Follow these guys here.
134
00:08:01,356 --> 00:08:03,483
Hey, you're
Richie Osbourne,
aren't you?
135
00:08:03,566 --> 00:08:04,567
Yeah. What of it?
136
00:08:04,651 --> 00:08:06,653
I'm Jeff Nelson.
I'm Pete Nelson's son.
137
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,655
Yeah, I know who you are.
138
00:08:10,198 --> 00:08:11,700
Hey, you go to
Taft, don't you?
139
00:08:11,783 --> 00:08:12,784
Yeah.
140
00:08:12,867 --> 00:08:14,327
We'll play you guys, Saturday.
141
00:08:14,411 --> 00:08:15,453
So what?
142
00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:27,173
-That was Jeff Nelson--
-You know it was, mom.
143
00:08:27,257 --> 00:08:29,300
His picture's
only in the paper
every other day.
144
00:08:33,888 --> 00:08:35,515
We can't escape it.
145
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,183
It's in the news everyday,
146
00:08:37,267 --> 00:08:39,686
and both of you know
what I'm talking about.
147
00:08:40,603 --> 00:08:43,815
What are you going to do
about the drug problem
in our city, Mr. Osbourne?
148
00:08:43,898 --> 00:08:46,776
As District Attorney of
this city for the last 4 years,
149
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:50,113
I have prosecuted
more drug offenders
than anyone in the whole state.
150
00:08:50,196 --> 00:08:52,240
Now, unlike
my opponent,
151
00:08:52,323 --> 00:08:54,701
I wholeheartedly
endorse the new procedures
152
00:08:54,784 --> 00:08:57,454
given to us by the court
and the police
153
00:08:57,537 --> 00:09:00,874
to deal with the scum
who would poison our children.
154
00:09:01,666 --> 00:09:03,084
Zero tolerance.
155
00:09:03,543 --> 00:09:05,628
Searching trash.
156
00:09:05,712 --> 00:09:07,172
Hot pursuit.
157
00:09:07,255 --> 00:09:09,466
Looking through
school lockers.
158
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:11,676
Finally we're
getting the tools
159
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,555
to bring those
who deal with drugs
to their knees.
160
00:09:17,474 --> 00:09:18,558
Mr. Nelson?
161
00:09:19,517 --> 00:09:21,102
There is no more
pressing problem
162
00:09:21,186 --> 00:09:23,521
in our society today
than drug abuse.
163
00:09:24,481 --> 00:09:26,900
When our children
aren't safe from drugs,
164
00:09:26,983 --> 00:09:28,318
even in our
elementary schools,
165
00:09:28,401 --> 00:09:30,653
then it's time
for drastic action.
166
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:32,530
It's my opinion
167
00:09:32,614 --> 00:09:35,408
that actions should
center on education
and interdiction,
168
00:09:35,492 --> 00:09:38,703
not the hysterical
tramplings of our
constitutional rights
169
00:09:38,787 --> 00:09:40,080
as favored by
Mr. Osbourne.
170
00:09:40,163 --> 00:09:41,372
Drug dealers
have no rights.
171
00:09:41,456 --> 00:09:43,208
That's the kind of
demagogic rhetoric
172
00:09:43,291 --> 00:09:44,250
that confuses the issue.
173
00:09:44,334 --> 00:09:46,252
All American citizens
have rights
174
00:09:46,336 --> 00:09:48,213
until proven guilty
of a crime.
175
00:09:48,296 --> 00:09:51,508
That's what this country
has fought 200 years for.
176
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:55,762
What kind of message
are we sending
our young people
177
00:09:55,845 --> 00:09:59,891
when our own government
makes deals with drug dealers
in foreign governments
178
00:09:59,974 --> 00:10:03,478
while taking away
the constitutional rights
of it's own citizens?
179
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:07,899
That's exactly the kind
of remark I'd expect to hear
from a former drug user.
180
00:10:09,692 --> 00:10:11,277
How'd they get that?
181
00:10:11,361 --> 00:10:13,530
Those are pretty serious
charges, Mr. Osbourne.
182
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:15,323
I don't make charges
I can't back up.
183
00:10:15,406 --> 00:10:18,284
[Pete] I...
I believe...
184
00:10:18,368 --> 00:10:21,746
Mr. Osbourne is alluding
to a period 20 years ago
when I was in college.
185
00:10:21,830 --> 00:10:24,082
If it weren't for people
like you in the '60s,
186
00:10:24,165 --> 00:10:26,376
we wouldn't have any
drug addicts in the '80s.
187
00:10:26,459 --> 00:10:30,171
I admit, I smoked marijuana
when I was in Berkeley.
188
00:10:30,255 --> 00:10:32,715
We all do things
when we're young that
we aren't proud of.
189
00:10:32,799 --> 00:10:35,093
If we didn't make mistakes,
we'd never learn.
190
00:10:36,136 --> 00:10:39,430
I've tried to teach
my own son about
the horror of drugs,
191
00:10:39,514 --> 00:10:43,184
including this nation's
most vicious killer, alcohol.
192
00:10:43,268 --> 00:10:46,020
When you give your
body and your mind
over to a chemical,
193
00:10:46,104 --> 00:10:47,605
nothing good can happen.
194
00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:50,567
And I promise you,
195
00:10:51,818 --> 00:10:54,320
that drug dealers
and drug users
196
00:10:54,404 --> 00:10:55,864
will be prosecuted
197
00:10:55,947 --> 00:10:58,408
just as vigorously
under a Nelson
administration
198
00:10:58,491 --> 00:11:00,618
as they would be
under my opponent's.
199
00:11:00,702 --> 00:11:02,328
And I'd also like to add
200
00:11:02,453 --> 00:11:04,455
that is the DA's office
wasn't so busy
201
00:11:04,539 --> 00:11:06,916
rummaging through
people's 20-year-old trash,
202
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,877
they'd know that
I worked for six years
203
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,880
in the Oakland
Police Department in
the narcotics division.
204
00:11:12,505 --> 00:11:16,634
My office is interested
in truth and justice,
not excuses.
205
00:11:17,385 --> 00:11:20,638
When it comes to getting
tough on crime, you don't
sound very much like a cop.
206
00:11:20,722 --> 00:11:22,098
Now maybe that's why
you became a lawyer.
207
00:11:22,181 --> 00:11:24,183
Because you're more interested
in defending the criminals,
208
00:11:24,267 --> 00:11:25,518
instead of arresting them.
209
00:11:25,602 --> 00:11:26,895
[applause]
210
00:11:26,978 --> 00:11:29,731
That's okay.
That's okay.
211
00:11:30,481 --> 00:11:35,069
[dog barking]
212
00:11:38,406 --> 00:11:40,199
-Good morning.
-Good morning, honey.
213
00:11:41,034 --> 00:11:42,452
Your breakfast
is on the table.
214
00:11:42,535 --> 00:11:43,536
Thank you.
215
00:11:45,246 --> 00:11:48,791
Well, ready for
the Taft game, son?
216
00:11:48,875 --> 00:11:51,336
I better be.
City championship's
on the line.
217
00:11:51,794 --> 00:11:53,963
I hope that little dust-up
with Osbourne
218
00:11:54,047 --> 00:11:55,632
on the marijuana issue
last night
219
00:11:55,715 --> 00:11:58,134
doesn't get
a lot of tongues
wagging at school.
220
00:11:58,217 --> 00:12:00,219
Most of the kids
are pretty cool
about things like that.
221
00:12:00,303 --> 00:12:02,805
But you're still
gonna get some flak,
you know that.
222
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:04,599
I can handle it.
223
00:12:06,267 --> 00:12:08,269
Not easy being in
the public eye, is it?
224
00:12:08,770 --> 00:12:10,647
Dad, I said
I can handle it.
225
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:11,731
All right.
226
00:12:11,814 --> 00:12:14,651
[chuckles]
I got to go.
227
00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:15,985
I don't want to miss
geography class.
228
00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:20,823
You mean you don't
want to miss Tracy Clark
before geography class, hmm?
229
00:12:20,907 --> 00:12:24,327
Dad, when you're right,
you're right.
230
00:12:24,827 --> 00:12:26,412
-Bye, mom.
-Bye, honey.
231
00:12:33,962 --> 00:12:35,838
I didn't want Jeff
to see this.
232
00:12:37,423 --> 00:12:40,134
-"U.S. Attorney
indicts financier.
-Hmm.
233
00:12:40,218 --> 00:12:41,928
Bill Steelgrave...
234
00:12:43,054 --> 00:12:46,432
was accused
of insider trading
and tax fraud.
235
00:12:46,516 --> 00:12:49,852
Steelgrave, father-in-law
of mayoral candidate
236
00:12:49,936 --> 00:12:51,729
Pete Nelson,
237
00:12:51,813 --> 00:12:54,565
will be indicted
in federal court
next week."
238
00:12:56,484 --> 00:12:59,445
Oh God, now they're
attacking your father.
239
00:13:00,989 --> 00:13:03,491
Welcome to
the wonderful world
of politics.
240
00:13:03,574 --> 00:13:05,159
Thanks.
241
00:13:16,796 --> 00:13:18,756
There you go, Richie.
Just like you like 'em.
242
00:13:19,424 --> 00:13:20,550
Cut it!
243
00:13:20,633 --> 00:13:22,176
That good for you?
244
00:13:22,260 --> 00:13:23,845
Alright, that was fine.
245
00:13:23,928 --> 00:13:25,596
Now we'll do
that walking shot.
246
00:13:26,139 --> 00:13:28,683
Come on. Richie?
247
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:30,727
Come on, Richie,
let's move it.
248
00:13:32,186 --> 00:13:34,605
There we go.
All right.
249
00:13:36,357 --> 00:13:38,359
-One big happy family.
-Shut up.
250
00:13:38,943 --> 00:13:40,862
-Stand up straight.
-I am.
251
00:13:40,945 --> 00:13:43,823
Okay, Dolly zoom, we're gonna
keep it tight three.
252
00:13:43,906 --> 00:13:46,034
Okay, we're all set.
253
00:13:46,117 --> 00:13:48,286
Okay, now I want you to
start walking toward me.
254
00:13:48,369 --> 00:13:49,829
Big smiles.
255
00:13:52,874 --> 00:13:53,833
That's it.
256
00:13:55,585 --> 00:13:57,879
How can the voters
resist this family?
257
00:13:58,713 --> 00:14:00,965
And... Cut it!
258
00:14:01,049 --> 00:14:02,675
We'll go
one more time.
259
00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:05,386
Okay, this time, I don't
want you to follow them
the whole way.
260
00:14:05,470 --> 00:14:07,305
Don't pan with them.
Let them walk out. Okay?
261
00:14:08,931 --> 00:14:11,142
Richard, these
are the latest
tracking polls.
262
00:14:11,225 --> 00:14:12,310
These are the latest?
263
00:14:12,393 --> 00:14:13,394
Yeah. They're
the overnights.
264
00:14:13,478 --> 00:14:15,688
You're still 10 points
behind Nelson.
265
00:14:15,772 --> 00:14:17,190
20 points with women.
266
00:14:17,732 --> 00:14:21,152
The only group
you're leading with
is white males over 50.
267
00:14:23,029 --> 00:14:24,405
Well, these
can't be right.
268
00:14:25,114 --> 00:14:27,116
Because Nelson is
an admitted drug user
269
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,701
and his father-in-law
is a crook.
270
00:14:28,785 --> 00:14:32,246
Yeah, I can't figure it either,
but the numbers don't lie.
271
00:14:32,330 --> 00:14:34,332
People must like him.
272
00:14:35,458 --> 00:14:38,127
Or they don't like me.
Look at all these negatives.
273
00:14:38,211 --> 00:14:40,838
They'd like you, dad,
if you gave them a chance,
274
00:14:40,922 --> 00:14:44,217
If you spent more time
talking to them,
like Nelson does.
275
00:14:46,511 --> 00:14:48,888
What are you,
a political consultant?
276
00:14:49,806 --> 00:14:51,265
You can't even
get into college,
277
00:14:51,349 --> 00:14:53,810
But you you know how to
run a campaign, huh?
278
00:14:53,893 --> 00:14:55,770
He was just trying
to help, Richard.
279
00:14:55,853 --> 00:14:57,772
Yeah, well, I don't
want his help.
280
00:14:57,855 --> 00:15:00,316
He can't help himself.
So how can I expect
him to help me?
281
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,068
[photographer] Mr. Osbourne,
we're losing the light.
282
00:15:02,151 --> 00:15:03,569
Yeah, we're
losing the light.
283
00:15:03,653 --> 00:15:05,321
We're losing
the damn election.
284
00:15:05,988 --> 00:15:07,698
Come on, let's
get this over with.
285
00:15:07,782 --> 00:15:10,284
Hey, Richie, come on.
Come on, please.
286
00:15:47,697 --> 00:15:49,449
I hate wearing tuxedos.
287
00:15:49,532 --> 00:15:52,201
Feel like a penguin
in a straitjacket.
288
00:15:52,827 --> 00:15:54,704
You mean,
you feel auk-ward?
289
00:15:54,787 --> 00:15:57,415
[laughs]
290
00:15:57,498 --> 00:15:58,875
What's funny?
291
00:15:59,208 --> 00:16:02,503
Awkward. Auk... A-u-k. Auk.
292
00:16:02,587 --> 00:16:05,298
An auk. It's a type
of a penguin.
It's a joke.
293
00:16:07,049 --> 00:16:08,384
Oh, that's funny.
294
00:16:11,846 --> 00:16:14,265
[laughs]
295
00:16:16,934 --> 00:16:19,520
These just came
across the wire on
the city news service.
296
00:16:19,604 --> 00:16:20,980
Look at those numbers.
297
00:16:21,063 --> 00:16:23,858
We've got that weasel Osbourne
by the short hairs.
298
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:26,736
You know I don't
trust polls, Phil.
299
00:16:26,819 --> 00:16:29,447
Maybe you don't.
But these folks sure do.
300
00:16:32,783 --> 00:16:34,285
May I have your
attention, folks?
301
00:16:35,995 --> 00:16:37,538
May I have
your attention, folks?
302
00:16:40,541 --> 00:16:42,210
I'd like to announce
the results
303
00:16:42,293 --> 00:16:44,045
of the latest
mayoralty tracking poll
304
00:16:44,128 --> 00:16:46,255
taken over
the past 24 hours.
305
00:16:47,757 --> 00:16:52,303
Pete Nelson, 53%.
Richard Osbourne, 42%,
306
00:16:52,386 --> 00:16:53,763
with 5% undecided.
307
00:16:56,432 --> 00:16:57,767
We got him now.
308
00:16:57,850 --> 00:16:59,352
Don't be so sure.
309
00:16:59,435 --> 00:17:02,188
Thomas Dewey would have
been the 33rd President
of the United States
310
00:17:02,271 --> 00:17:03,981
if candidates were
elected by polls.
311
00:17:04,065 --> 00:17:07,026
Oh, come one, Jonathan,
don't be such a killjoy.
312
00:17:07,109 --> 00:17:09,987
You don't remind me
of Thomas Dewey,
313
00:17:10,071 --> 00:17:13,115
and I won't remind you
of your auk-ward joke.
314
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:14,200
Hmm?
315
00:17:14,283 --> 00:17:16,953
[laughing]
316
00:17:21,624 --> 00:17:23,251
As I told you
at the start
of the evening,
317
00:17:23,334 --> 00:17:25,211
we're gonna keep
the speeches brief.
318
00:17:27,129 --> 00:17:28,047
Thank you.
319
00:17:30,091 --> 00:17:31,133
And to lead off
the evening,
320
00:17:31,217 --> 00:17:33,052
I'd like to introduce
a young man
321
00:17:33,135 --> 00:17:34,178
who I'm sure
knows Pete Nelson
322
00:17:34,262 --> 00:17:36,264
better than any other
man in this room.
323
00:17:37,265 --> 00:17:39,308
He's a well-known gentleman
in his own right.
324
00:17:39,684 --> 00:17:43,104
He's an honor student,
an all-city tight end,
325
00:17:43,187 --> 00:17:45,189
and a son to make
any father proud.
326
00:17:45,273 --> 00:17:46,190
Jeff Nelson.
327
00:17:52,530 --> 00:17:54,657
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
328
00:17:56,158 --> 00:17:58,869
You know, when my father
asked me to introduce him
here this evening, I was...
329
00:18:00,454 --> 00:18:06,085
I was very proud,
because, well, it gives me
a chance to be his son.
330
00:18:07,044 --> 00:18:08,087
When I was younger,
331
00:18:08,170 --> 00:18:09,797
my father was a policeman.
332
00:18:10,673 --> 00:18:13,009
And at night he'd
go to law school
to study law.
333
00:18:13,092 --> 00:18:15,469
Now, that's not
an easy task.
334
00:18:16,887 --> 00:18:20,474
You know, but somehow
he always found time
for his family.
335
00:18:20,558 --> 00:18:23,603
For mom and for me.
336
00:18:24,186 --> 00:18:27,023
Oh, he coached me in T-ball,
then Pop Warner.
337
00:18:27,106 --> 00:18:28,608
He loved sports.
338
00:18:28,983 --> 00:18:31,319
But he always made sure
I kept them in perspective,
339
00:18:32,361 --> 00:18:34,405
Made sure
my education came first.
340
00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:37,116
Taught me to love reading,
341
00:18:37,783 --> 00:18:39,327
and he showed me
how hard work
342
00:18:39,410 --> 00:18:41,412
can give a person
a sense of pride.
343
00:18:44,415 --> 00:18:45,791
He taught me
how to be a man.
344
00:18:47,918 --> 00:18:50,838
Oh, he was rough on me
when he had to. Trust me.
345
00:18:53,883 --> 00:18:55,301
He doesn't abide
telling lies.
346
00:18:55,384 --> 00:18:58,012
Mistakes he can understand,
but lies he won't put up with.
347
00:19:01,932 --> 00:19:03,559
I'll tell you one thing.
348
00:19:03,643 --> 00:19:05,936
He was always gentlewith me when I was hurt.
349
00:19:07,730 --> 00:19:09,649
I know this kid of thingembarrasses you, dad,
350
00:19:09,732 --> 00:19:12,068
but it's your faultfor asking meto introduce you.
351
00:19:13,402 --> 00:19:16,238
Ladies and gentlemen,
I give you the next mayor,
352
00:19:18,449 --> 00:19:20,660
and the best father
any kid could ever have,
353
00:19:20,743 --> 00:19:22,078
Pete Nelson.
354
00:19:22,161 --> 00:19:27,041
[applause]
355
00:19:35,591 --> 00:19:40,429
[gloomy music]
356
00:20:17,883 --> 00:20:18,843
Jeff.
357
00:20:18,926 --> 00:20:20,177
Hey, good morning, Mr. Lee.
358
00:20:20,261 --> 00:20:22,596
I received a disturbing
phone call this morning.
359
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:25,349
A boy who said
he was a student
here at Kennedy,
360
00:20:25,433 --> 00:20:27,560
but who wouldn't
give me his name,
361
00:20:27,643 --> 00:20:29,937
told me you were selling
marijuana here at school.
362
00:20:30,020 --> 00:20:31,313
What?
363
00:20:31,397 --> 00:20:34,066
I'm afraid I'm going to have
to search your locker, Jeff.
364
00:20:34,150 --> 00:20:36,861
You'll search my locker
because of some
anonymous phone call?
365
00:20:36,944 --> 00:20:39,363
That's right, son.
I'm sorry.
366
00:20:42,742 --> 00:20:44,535
I'll open it
for you.
367
00:21:19,403 --> 00:21:24,825
You know, I know as a parentthe pride a fatherhas in his children.
368
00:21:24,909 --> 00:21:28,954
I mean, my own son Richieis a senior in High Schoollike Jeff Nelson.
369
00:21:30,331 --> 00:21:32,082
And my first reaction was
370
00:21:32,291 --> 00:21:34,084
there, but forthe grace of God, go I.
371
00:21:34,168 --> 00:21:35,961
Come on, Jonathan,
turn the television off.
372
00:21:36,045 --> 00:21:37,922
I don't want to watch
this hypocrite.
373
00:21:38,631 --> 00:21:41,425
I also know as a parentyou have to talk to them.
374
00:21:41,509 --> 00:21:44,553
You have to try
to understand them.
375
00:21:46,055 --> 00:21:48,307
I ask for one favor,
one lousy favor.
376
00:21:48,390 --> 00:21:49,642
Turn off the television.
377
00:21:49,725 --> 00:21:52,019
Mark, you were closer
to the set than I was.
378
00:21:52,102 --> 00:21:54,522
This lousy motel
doesn't have
remote control.
379
00:21:54,605 --> 00:21:55,731
You do!
380
00:21:59,318 --> 00:22:00,778
I'm sorry, Jonathan.
381
00:22:01,237 --> 00:22:04,323
It's this whole thing
with Pete and Jeff
and the campaign.
382
00:22:05,407 --> 00:22:07,326
I mean, Pete would
make a great mayor.
383
00:22:07,409 --> 00:22:10,579
And I know Jeff wasn't
selling drugs in a school
384
00:22:10,663 --> 00:22:13,040
That kid doesn't
touch anything
stronger than wheat germ.
385
00:22:15,084 --> 00:22:16,877
Well, you're right
about that, it wasn't his.
386
00:22:16,961 --> 00:22:19,046
I mean, all you've
got to do is look at him.
387
00:22:20,256 --> 00:22:21,131
It wasn't?
388
00:22:22,258 --> 00:22:23,217
No.
389
00:22:23,634 --> 00:22:25,177
You know that
for a fact?
390
00:22:25,261 --> 00:22:26,971
Of course you
know that for a fact.
391
00:22:27,513 --> 00:22:29,348
Well, who was it?
Who planted the stuff?
392
00:22:29,431 --> 00:22:30,558
It was Osbourne, wasn't it?
393
00:22:31,684 --> 00:22:33,143
I can't tell you
who it was, Mark.
394
00:22:33,227 --> 00:22:34,270
What do you mean
you can't tell me?
395
00:22:34,353 --> 00:22:36,605
You don't tell me,
then Pete loses the election.
396
00:22:36,689 --> 00:22:38,274
Not to mention what's
going to happen to Jeff.
397
00:22:38,357 --> 00:22:39,984
Mark, I can't
tell you who it was
398
00:22:40,067 --> 00:22:41,110
because I don't know.
399
00:22:41,193 --> 00:22:42,528
And even it I did
now we couldn't prove it.
400
00:22:42,611 --> 00:22:45,114
The kid's innocent.
He's being crucified.
401
00:22:45,197 --> 00:22:47,199
We've got to do something.
402
00:22:47,283 --> 00:22:50,369
It was Osbourne.
You know it was Osbourne,
and I know it.
403
00:22:50,452 --> 00:22:52,913
Now I'm going to do
something to prove that.
404
00:23:29,742 --> 00:23:33,287
There is no way we can
keep our heads
in the sand any longer.
405
00:23:33,370 --> 00:23:36,040
Working mothers
make up more and more
of today's work force,
406
00:23:36,123 --> 00:23:40,294
Yet our city has only
three day-care centers
in operation.
407
00:23:40,377 --> 00:23:43,130
That's not only
bad government
it's bad politics.
408
00:23:43,213 --> 00:23:48,093
[horn honking]
409
00:23:50,888 --> 00:23:52,765
Pete! Pete!
410
00:23:52,848 --> 00:23:53,766
Excuse me.
411
00:24:04,610 --> 00:24:05,486
What is it?
412
00:24:05,569 --> 00:24:07,029
Daddy's in the hospital.
413
00:24:07,112 --> 00:24:08,739
It's his heart again.
414
00:24:08,822 --> 00:24:10,866
Jeff went straight over there.
Can you come now?
415
00:24:10,949 --> 00:24:13,035
I'm sorry,
something's come up,
family matter.
416
00:24:13,118 --> 00:24:14,620
I have to go
to the hospital.
417
00:24:32,429 --> 00:24:34,640
Now you get that
look off your face.
418
00:24:35,516 --> 00:24:37,184
It'll take more than
a little palpitation
419
00:24:37,267 --> 00:24:38,852
...to cash in my chips.
420
00:24:38,936 --> 00:24:40,312
You had us worried though.
421
00:24:40,396 --> 00:24:41,939
Well, stop worrying.
422
00:24:42,231 --> 00:24:45,234
I'm not gonna kick off
until my name is cleared.
423
00:24:45,317 --> 00:24:48,278
I'm not paying those
lawyers all that money
424
00:24:48,362 --> 00:24:49,988
just to miss
my day in court.
425
00:24:50,072 --> 00:24:52,783
You wouldn't be in court
if it wasn't for me.
426
00:24:52,866 --> 00:24:56,078
Dad, Pete's thinking
about giving up the race.
427
00:24:56,912 --> 00:24:58,038
He what?
428
00:24:58,914 --> 00:24:59,957
Is that true?
429
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:02,793
We've talked about it.
430
00:25:03,335 --> 00:25:05,587
Last couple of days
have been rough
on everyone.
431
00:25:06,547 --> 00:25:08,340
Rough, maybe.
432
00:25:08,424 --> 00:25:10,968
Nobody ever said
politics was easy.
433
00:25:11,343 --> 00:25:15,514
I remember once
reading about
434
00:25:15,597 --> 00:25:18,142
an English M.P.,
his name was Burke.
435
00:25:18,851 --> 00:25:20,728
-Edmund Burke.
-Grandpa,
436
00:25:22,271 --> 00:25:25,566
Edmund Burke was Irish,
and he lived in
the 17th century.
437
00:25:26,483 --> 00:25:27,860
Irish, of course.
438
00:25:28,736 --> 00:25:31,029
I'm glad to see that
our schools are
teaching something
439
00:25:31,113 --> 00:25:32,406
other than
computer ping-pong.
440
00:25:32,489 --> 00:25:33,782
[all laugh]
441
00:25:34,324 --> 00:25:36,660
Anyway, this Burke
was a member
442
00:25:36,744 --> 00:25:39,913
of one of the most corrupt
British parliaments.
443
00:25:39,997 --> 00:25:42,291
So bad that many
of the best men
444
00:25:42,374 --> 00:25:44,376
would have nothing
to do with politics.
445
00:25:45,252 --> 00:25:48,672
One day, his countrymen
were complaining to him
446
00:25:48,756 --> 00:25:51,008
about the sorry state
of the parliament
447
00:25:51,091 --> 00:25:54,261
and how the king was
driving their country to ruin.
448
00:25:55,596 --> 00:25:59,266
Old Burke fixed these fellows
with a hard stare and said,
449
00:26:00,851 --> 00:26:05,481
"For evil to triumph,
good men must do nothing."
450
00:26:07,941 --> 00:26:10,986
Seems to me those words
mean as much today
as they did then.
451
00:26:12,780 --> 00:26:14,198
What do you think?
452
00:26:16,408 --> 00:26:17,618
Maybe even more.
453
00:27:20,973 --> 00:27:22,099
What are you doing?
454
00:27:22,891 --> 00:27:24,142
Uh... nothing.
455
00:27:24,977 --> 00:27:26,687
Yes, you are.
What are you doing?
456
00:27:27,688 --> 00:27:28,981
I'm not doing anything.
457
00:27:29,565 --> 00:27:31,775
Why don't you go
ride your bike?
458
00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:35,445
I know what you're doing.
You're looking for food.
459
00:27:36,572 --> 00:27:37,781
That right?
460
00:27:38,407 --> 00:27:40,242
You're a bum,
aren't you?
461
00:27:41,702 --> 00:27:43,412
No, I am not a bum.
462
00:27:43,495 --> 00:27:45,747
Now, why don't you
go ride your trike, huh?
463
00:27:47,791 --> 00:27:50,294
If you're not a bum,
then why are you
looking for food?
464
00:27:50,377 --> 00:27:53,797
Look, I am not
looking for food,
and I am not a bum.
465
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:02,514
All right. All right.
466
00:28:03,974 --> 00:28:05,767
You look like a bum.
467
00:28:26,163 --> 00:28:29,917
Excuse me.
I'm looking for
some rolling papers.
468
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:32,753
Friend of mine said
I can buy them here.
469
00:28:33,253 --> 00:28:34,838
Sure, you can
buy them here.
470
00:28:37,090 --> 00:28:38,425
How many you want?
471
00:28:38,508 --> 00:28:40,844
Oh, one will be fine.
472
00:28:40,928 --> 00:28:42,971
I also need
some tobacco.
473
00:28:43,055 --> 00:28:44,556
We only sell
pipe tobacco.
474
00:28:45,682 --> 00:28:47,142
You sell cigarette
rolling papers,
475
00:28:47,226 --> 00:28:48,977
but you don't sell
cigarette tobacco?
476
00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:51,939
You're right.
There's no law
against it.
477
00:28:52,022 --> 00:28:53,607
All the stores do it.
478
00:28:53,690 --> 00:28:55,609
Everybody knows what
the papers are for.
479
00:28:56,526 --> 00:28:58,320
That'll be 66 cents.
480
00:28:58,403 --> 00:28:59,571
You sell a lot of these?
481
00:29:00,822 --> 00:29:02,282
What's your game,
mister?
482
00:29:02,366 --> 00:29:03,742
Are you some kind of cop?
483
00:29:05,452 --> 00:29:07,955
Actually, I'm
a private investigator.
484
00:29:08,038 --> 00:29:09,122
You're a P.I.?
485
00:29:09,206 --> 00:29:10,958
Yeah. I need
some information
486
00:29:11,041 --> 00:29:12,960
on this market sales slip.
487
00:29:13,543 --> 00:29:15,712
-It's from two days ago.
-I know.
488
00:29:17,172 --> 00:29:19,049
They got a magazine,
bag of potato chips,
489
00:29:19,132 --> 00:29:20,759
packet of cigarette papers...
490
00:29:20,842 --> 00:29:22,511
Hey, cigarette papers.
491
00:29:22,594 --> 00:29:23,929
This guy smokes
doobie, too.
492
00:29:25,180 --> 00:29:26,431
It says "charge"
there on the slip,
493
00:29:26,515 --> 00:29:28,267
but it doesn't say
who charged it.
494
00:29:29,184 --> 00:29:32,521
I wasn't here two days ago,
but it would be
easy to find out.
495
00:29:32,604 --> 00:29:33,981
Our charge customers
have these numbers.
496
00:29:34,064 --> 00:29:36,108
All I'd have to do
would be to...
497
00:29:38,777 --> 00:29:39,945
Look it up,
498
00:29:42,990 --> 00:29:44,741
and tell you
499
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,743
this customer's
name is...
500
00:29:48,078 --> 00:29:49,371
Osbourne.
501
00:29:49,454 --> 00:29:51,498
4419 Loma Linda Drive.
502
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,084
Thanks.
503
00:29:54,167 --> 00:29:55,294
Hey, mister.
504
00:29:55,377 --> 00:29:57,004
You forgot to pay
for the papers.
505
00:29:57,754 --> 00:29:59,006
I don't smoke.
506
00:30:08,515 --> 00:30:11,643
This slip proves that somebody
in the Osbourne family,
507
00:30:11,727 --> 00:30:14,855
probably Richie,
bought a pack of
cigarette rolling papers
508
00:30:14,938 --> 00:30:16,690
the day before
Jeff was framed.
509
00:30:17,899 --> 00:30:19,609
Where did you
get this slip, Mark?
510
00:30:20,694 --> 00:30:22,070
Where did you get it?
511
00:30:23,613 --> 00:30:25,157
The Osbourne trash.
512
00:30:25,615 --> 00:30:26,950
Listen, I had a hunch
about Osbourne.
513
00:30:27,034 --> 00:30:29,119
The only way I could
prove it was to go
through his trash.
514
00:30:29,453 --> 00:30:31,288
With Osbourne's
account number
on that slip,
515
00:30:31,371 --> 00:30:34,541
all we have to do
is point the reporters
in the right direction.
516
00:30:34,624 --> 00:30:35,751
They'll find
enough witnesses.
517
00:30:36,918 --> 00:30:38,920
Are you sure, Mark,
this is Osbourne's?
518
00:30:39,504 --> 00:30:41,673
The clerk wouldn't lie,
not for $40.
519
00:30:42,507 --> 00:30:44,676
You mean you bribed
someone for this information?
520
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,721
Give him a break, Pete.
He saved your kid's reputation,
521
00:30:47,804 --> 00:30:50,057
not to mention the election.
What more do you want?
522
00:30:50,766 --> 00:30:52,642
I can't wait to see
the look on Osbourne's face
523
00:30:52,726 --> 00:30:54,853
when he finds out
we searched his trash.
524
00:30:54,936 --> 00:30:56,521
Hoisted on his
own petard!
525
00:30:57,606 --> 00:31:00,901
I just can't believe
Osbourne would do
something like this.
526
00:31:00,984 --> 00:31:02,778
We have to give him
a chance to explain.
527
00:31:02,903 --> 00:31:06,782
Explain? His kid didn't think
this scheme up on his own.
528
00:31:06,865 --> 00:31:08,408
I don't have to
tell you, Pete.
529
00:31:08,492 --> 00:31:11,244
If Osbourne
had this on you,
he'd go to the press.
530
00:31:11,328 --> 00:31:12,621
And I don't have
to tell you,
531
00:31:12,704 --> 00:31:14,539
I'm not Richard Osbourne.
532
00:31:16,041 --> 00:31:18,251
Yeah. Yeah.
533
00:31:19,628 --> 00:31:23,548
Yeah. [chuckles]
Sheila, you know that's
a sway of over 20 points.
534
00:31:23,632 --> 00:31:29,012
Hmm? No, no, I know,
I'll play it very low-key
at the debate tonight. Yes.
535
00:31:29,096 --> 00:31:32,474
One father understanding
the pain of another. Hmm?
536
00:31:33,433 --> 00:31:36,937
Don''t worry. You know,
I didn't just...
a load of hay
537
00:31:38,397 --> 00:31:42,442
Sheila, we're in.
You know what?
I'll see you tonight.
538
00:31:42,526 --> 00:31:43,527
[chuckles]
539
00:31:43,610 --> 00:31:45,987
We are ready.
And the car's ready.
540
00:31:46,071 --> 00:31:49,491
Oh. By the way Sheila
just got the results
of the latest poll.
541
00:31:49,574 --> 00:31:52,119
Nelson is down by ten,
and I'm up by 11.
542
00:31:52,202 --> 00:31:53,745
So what do you think
of that, Mrs. Mayor.
543
00:31:54,538 --> 00:31:56,206
-It's wonderful.
-[laughs]
544
00:31:56,289 --> 00:31:57,791
That Nelson kid,
I'd kiss him,
545
00:31:57,916 --> 00:31:59,960
that big speech he
made about his old man,
546
00:32:00,043 --> 00:32:01,002
totally buried him.
547
00:32:01,086 --> 00:32:02,921
I can't wait to
get to that debate.
548
00:32:03,672 --> 00:32:06,508
And you, you got to
stand up straight, you
got to watch your posture.
549
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:08,218
You're going to be
the son of the next mayor.
550
00:32:08,301 --> 00:32:09,302
Let's go.
551
00:32:20,897 --> 00:32:24,025
Of course
he's going to win.
You've seen the polls.
552
00:32:24,609 --> 00:32:27,904
No, no,
we won't forget.
553
00:32:28,655 --> 00:32:32,242
I will. I'll tell him.
Okay. Bye.
554
00:32:32,325 --> 00:32:33,743
[knock on door]
555
00:32:33,827 --> 00:32:35,412
Richie,
get that,
please.
556
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,421
Richie, I'd like to have
a word with your father
if I could.
557
00:32:45,088 --> 00:32:47,257
You work for
Nelson, don't you?
What do you want?
558
00:32:47,841 --> 00:32:49,384
Yeah, my name's
Jonathan Smith.
559
00:32:49,468 --> 00:32:50,594
Mr. Nelson asked me
to come over
560
00:32:50,677 --> 00:32:52,137
and thought to arrange
a meeting with him tonight
561
00:32:52,220 --> 00:32:53,889
A private meeting
before the debate.
562
00:32:54,723 --> 00:32:57,309
He wants to
see me now?
What about?
563
00:32:59,019 --> 00:33:00,312
He's dropping out, right?
564
00:33:01,229 --> 00:33:03,106
All I know is,
it's a private matter.
565
00:33:03,482 --> 00:33:06,526
Well, anything that he wants
to say in front of me, he can
say in front of my family.
566
00:33:06,610 --> 00:33:08,945
So, if he's so anxious
to see me,
567
00:33:09,029 --> 00:33:10,280
you tell him to
come here himself.
568
00:33:11,490 --> 00:33:12,991
I'll tell him.
569
00:33:17,621 --> 00:33:21,249
[chuckles] It's over.
I guarantee it.
570
00:33:21,333 --> 00:33:22,751
He knows it.
He knows it.
571
00:33:22,834 --> 00:33:24,211
He just wants to
avoid that debate.
572
00:33:24,294 --> 00:33:25,962
'Cause he knows
it's a done deal.
573
00:33:26,046 --> 00:33:28,590
Sheila, chill up
the champagne.
574
00:33:29,341 --> 00:33:30,842
[knock on door]
575
00:33:36,306 --> 00:33:37,390
Come on in.
576
00:33:40,018 --> 00:33:41,811
Hi, Pete. What's
on your mind?
577
00:33:46,066 --> 00:33:47,943
This isn't easy
for me, Richard.
578
00:33:48,777 --> 00:33:50,987
Well, I'm sure it's not.
579
00:33:52,489 --> 00:33:55,116
My campaign has
found evidence
580
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,745
that leads us to conclude
that your son Richie
581
00:33:58,828 --> 00:34:01,498
planted the marijuana
and papers in Jeff's locker.
582
00:34:06,586 --> 00:34:09,297
Well, I know
you're desperate,
but that's absurd.
583
00:34:11,299 --> 00:34:14,052
This is a photocopy
of a market receipt
584
00:34:14,135 --> 00:34:15,595
charged to your account.
585
00:34:16,263 --> 00:34:19,099
One of the items is
a pack of cigarette papers
586
00:34:19,182 --> 00:34:21,142
like those found
in Jeff's locker.
587
00:34:23,353 --> 00:34:25,105
What do you mean
a photocopy?
588
00:34:32,195 --> 00:34:33,738
How did you get
my market receipt?
589
00:34:33,822 --> 00:34:35,156
...you can
blame me for that.
590
00:34:35,240 --> 00:34:36,408
I went through
your trash.
591
00:34:37,742 --> 00:34:40,412
You had your people
go into my trash?
592
00:34:40,495 --> 00:34:43,582
You? The protector
of the constitution?
593
00:34:43,665 --> 00:34:45,500
You know, I should
sue you for slander.
594
00:34:45,584 --> 00:34:48,044
You're accusing me
and my family
595
00:34:48,128 --> 00:34:50,171
for setting up your
drugged-out kid.
596
00:34:50,255 --> 00:34:52,716
Why don't you ask your son
if he bought those papers?
597
00:34:53,508 --> 00:34:54,884
I don't have to.
598
00:34:56,303 --> 00:34:57,262
Richie?
599
00:34:59,180 --> 00:35:01,016
The clerk will be able
to identify you, son.
600
00:35:01,099 --> 00:35:02,434
There's no use
lying about it.
601
00:35:06,646 --> 00:35:07,606
Richie?
602
00:35:11,276 --> 00:35:12,193
Richie?
603
00:35:13,695 --> 00:35:16,448
It's true.
I planted the stuff.
604
00:35:25,832 --> 00:35:27,917
I'll be happy to
let you speak
first, Richard
605
00:35:28,001 --> 00:35:29,419
if you want to
clear the air.
606
00:35:30,086 --> 00:35:32,589
But I have to warn you,
if you don't say anything
about this matter,
607
00:35:32,672 --> 00:35:36,009
I'll be...
forced to talk about it.
608
00:35:37,135 --> 00:35:38,345
Not to hurt Richie,
609
00:35:38,428 --> 00:35:40,597
but to redeem
my own son's name.
610
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:49,606
I swear I didn't know
anything about this, Pete.
611
00:35:52,692 --> 00:35:54,819
Yeah. I believe you.
612
00:36:00,533 --> 00:36:05,080
Well, what we need now
is some serious damage control.
613
00:36:05,163 --> 00:36:06,539
No, Sheila, what we need now
614
00:36:06,623 --> 00:36:08,958
is for our family
to talk. Alone.
615
00:36:09,584 --> 00:36:10,877
We have a debate
starting in a few--
616
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,170
Get out!
617
00:36:24,766 --> 00:36:27,644
Do you know
what you've done?
Hmm? Do you?
618
00:36:27,727 --> 00:36:29,062
Do you know
what you've done?
619
00:36:29,729 --> 00:36:30,980
-I'm sorry.
-You're sorry.
620
00:36:31,064 --> 00:36:32,440
Hear that, Liz?
He's sorry.
621
00:36:32,857 --> 00:36:34,234
He's cost me
the election!
622
00:36:34,317 --> 00:36:35,527
Why did you
do it, Richie?
623
00:36:35,610 --> 00:36:38,321
Why did he do it?
Because he's stupid,
that's why!
624
00:36:38,405 --> 00:36:40,407
I don't think...
What the hell, it's over.
625
00:36:40,490 --> 00:36:41,908
Let him answer.
626
00:36:43,201 --> 00:36:44,452
Why, Richie?
627
00:36:44,536 --> 00:36:46,371
I wanted to do
something to help dad.
628
00:36:46,454 --> 00:36:48,790
Help me? Oh!
Help me.
629
00:36:48,873 --> 00:36:50,333
Let him finish.
630
00:36:56,089 --> 00:36:58,967
You were always making
such a big deal
over Nelson's kid.
631
00:37:01,261 --> 00:37:03,805
I knew you wished
you had a son like that.
632
00:37:06,057 --> 00:37:07,475
And I hated him...
633
00:37:09,018 --> 00:37:10,145
Because I knew.
634
00:37:13,398 --> 00:37:14,399
So I did it.
635
00:37:17,819 --> 00:37:19,154
So you'd win, and...
636
00:37:20,989 --> 00:37:22,949
Wouldn't want to have
a son like him.
637
00:37:38,465 --> 00:37:40,091
I love you, dad.
638
00:37:43,136 --> 00:37:44,596
I'm sorry.
639
00:37:45,930 --> 00:37:47,223
Please forgive me.
640
00:37:47,307 --> 00:37:48,475
No. Get away from me.
641
00:37:54,147 --> 00:37:55,690
Richie!
642
00:37:57,108 --> 00:37:58,401
Richie!
643
00:38:00,945 --> 00:38:04,324
Even now, with your
own son begging for
your love and mercy,
644
00:38:04,407 --> 00:38:06,576
you can't stop
being the candidate.
645
00:38:06,659 --> 00:38:09,245
The hell with your son!
Election's the important thing.
646
00:38:09,329 --> 00:38:11,122
What he did was wrong.
It was stupid.
647
00:38:11,206 --> 00:38:12,499
Are you trying
to justify it?
648
00:38:12,582 --> 00:38:15,376
What Richie did,
he did out of pain!
649
00:38:15,460 --> 00:38:16,544
Out of hurt.
650
00:38:17,212 --> 00:38:18,880
He was desperately
trying to help his father
651
00:38:18,963 --> 00:38:20,173
the only way he knew how.
652
00:38:20,256 --> 00:38:22,258
Political hardball,
is what you'd call it.
653
00:38:22,842 --> 00:38:25,345
Negative campaigning
taken to it's
logical conclusion
654
00:38:25,428 --> 00:38:27,764
By a 17-year-old boy.
655
00:38:28,181 --> 00:38:30,433
You seeded an investigation
of Nelson's father-in-law,
656
00:38:30,517 --> 00:38:32,352
Richie plants seeds
on Nelson's son.
657
00:38:32,435 --> 00:38:33,728
There's a difference, Liz.
658
00:38:33,812 --> 00:38:35,772
Oh, maybe in degree,
not in kind.
659
00:38:35,855 --> 00:38:37,398
This conversation is
getting us nowhere.
660
00:38:37,482 --> 00:38:40,318
I've got five minutes to try
to salvage a political career.
661
00:38:40,401 --> 00:38:43,905
Your career.
Always your career.
662
00:38:43,988 --> 00:38:47,617
For 20 years I have
listened to you moralizing
663
00:38:47,700 --> 00:38:50,954
and speechifying
about justice and truth.
664
00:38:51,496 --> 00:38:53,414
You know,
the funny part is
665
00:38:53,498 --> 00:38:56,125
a part of me
really believed that.
666
00:39:06,177 --> 00:39:07,512
I should have known
667
00:39:08,513 --> 00:39:11,724
Why all those years,
you never had
any time for your son.
668
00:39:14,227 --> 00:39:15,854
He wasn't
old enough to vote.
669
00:39:17,230 --> 00:39:22,151
[somber music]
670
00:39:32,745 --> 00:39:35,999
Welcome to the final league
of women voters' debate
671
00:39:36,082 --> 00:39:37,709
for this year's mayoral race.
672
00:39:38,293 --> 00:39:40,461
Now by mutual agreement,
673
00:39:40,545 --> 00:39:43,256
Richard Osbourne
will be speaking first,
674
00:39:43,339 --> 00:39:45,216
And then Pete Nelson.
675
00:39:45,300 --> 00:39:47,844
Ladies and gentlemen,
District attorney
Richard Osbourne.
676
00:39:48,636 --> 00:39:53,391
[applause]
677
00:39:54,183 --> 00:39:55,602
Warren.
678
00:39:55,685 --> 00:39:58,730
Ladies and gentlemen,
before I make my
introductory remarks,
679
00:39:58,813 --> 00:40:00,481
I would like to
680
00:40:00,565 --> 00:40:04,027
relay some information that
I received shortly before I
came on stage tonight.
681
00:40:05,612 --> 00:40:08,281
I'm sure you're all
aware of the fact
that my opponent's son
682
00:40:08,364 --> 00:40:09,824
was suspended from
school last week.
683
00:40:10,950 --> 00:40:12,702
Marijuana was found
in his locker.
684
00:40:13,870 --> 00:40:17,874
I have just been told
by my son, Richie,
685
00:40:18,750 --> 00:40:22,003
That Jeff Nelson
was the victim
of a cruel prank.
686
00:40:23,254 --> 00:40:24,422
A prank
687
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:30,428
that I sadly report
was perpetrated by my son.
688
00:40:30,511 --> 00:40:35,266
[murmuring]
689
00:40:37,185 --> 00:40:38,811
I would like to take
this opportunity
690
00:40:38,895 --> 00:40:41,814
to apologize
to my friend Pete,
691
00:40:41,898 --> 00:40:44,150
to his lovely wife, Ann,
692
00:40:44,233 --> 00:40:45,735
and to his son.
693
00:40:47,028 --> 00:40:49,697
I knew nothing
of Richie's action.
694
00:40:51,074 --> 00:40:53,159
And as difficult
as it is for me,
695
00:40:55,078 --> 00:40:57,205
I would just like to say
I take heart in the fact
696
00:40:57,288 --> 00:40:59,415
that when we make a mistake,
we can learn from it.
697
00:41:00,208 --> 00:41:03,294
I know that Richie
has already learned
698
00:41:03,378 --> 00:41:06,506
a great deal, uh...
from his...
699
00:41:06,589 --> 00:41:08,299
error in judgment.
700
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,220
An error of a son
701
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,847
trying to help his father
win an election.
702
00:41:16,140 --> 00:41:19,102
But I know that I've
learned a great deal.
703
00:41:19,185 --> 00:41:23,064
I've learned that a father
can only do his best,
704
00:41:23,147 --> 00:41:25,900
That both of us,
both parent and child,
705
00:41:25,984 --> 00:41:29,070
must assume
responsibility
for our deeds.
706
00:41:29,946 --> 00:41:32,699
Now, I will
stand by Richie,
707
00:41:34,075 --> 00:41:36,536
As...
I've always done.
708
00:41:37,620 --> 00:41:40,498
But I will not shield him
from his guilt.
709
00:41:41,582 --> 00:41:43,292
A guilt that
is his alone.
710
00:41:43,376 --> 00:41:45,878
You're the DA.
Why don't you
prosecute him?
711
00:41:45,962 --> 00:41:47,338
Think how good
that would look
in the press.
712
00:41:47,422 --> 00:41:50,341
DA shows no favoritism.
Convicts own son.
713
00:41:50,425 --> 00:41:52,760
Should be worth
10 points in
the election polls.
714
00:42:02,395 --> 00:42:05,857
Obviously my wife
is very distraught
by this affair.
715
00:42:07,358 --> 00:42:08,735
I'm sure you
understand that.
716
00:42:14,782 --> 00:42:17,452
Ladies and gentlemen,
Pete Nelson.
717
00:42:17,535 --> 00:42:22,206
[applause]
718
00:42:30,131 --> 00:42:31,549
Before I came
here tonight,
719
00:42:32,050 --> 00:42:33,634
I had a speech
all prepared.
720
00:42:35,470 --> 00:42:39,265
It was about
the future of our city
721
00:42:39,974 --> 00:42:42,310
And my role
in that future.
722
00:42:43,561 --> 00:42:44,729
But then listening
to Richard,
723
00:42:46,689 --> 00:42:47,982
I began to wonder
724
00:42:49,358 --> 00:42:53,446
If the important thing
about this election,
indeed, all elections,
725
00:42:53,529 --> 00:42:56,741
isn't what the politician
can do for the citizen,
726
00:42:56,824 --> 00:43:00,411
but what the citizen
should do for himself
and his community.
727
00:43:01,370 --> 00:43:03,414
Traveling our city,
the past few months,
728
00:43:03,498 --> 00:43:05,083
I haven't seen
a lot of hope.
729
00:43:05,792 --> 00:43:09,712
I've seen fear,
I've seen cynicism,
and I've seen apathy.
730
00:43:10,505 --> 00:43:14,884
People ask why our country
has lost it's competitive edge,
731
00:43:15,426 --> 00:43:18,596
why it's citizens
have lost their pride.
732
00:43:19,347 --> 00:43:22,767
It's because
politicians like myself
733
00:43:22,850 --> 00:43:24,602
Ask for your vote
by telling you
734
00:43:24,685 --> 00:43:27,355
that everything
will be all right,
735
00:43:28,773 --> 00:43:31,317
By giving you the good news
but not the bad,
736
00:43:32,401 --> 00:43:36,739
by placating you,
the voter,
not challenging you.
737
00:43:37,448 --> 00:43:40,827
Every day I'm floodedwith polling information,
738
00:43:40,910 --> 00:43:44,080
telling me what to doto boost my numbers
739
00:43:44,163 --> 00:43:45,623
with black womenor white men.
740
00:43:45,706 --> 00:43:47,250
That's my son-in-law.
741
00:43:47,333 --> 00:43:49,001
Everything about politics today
742
00:43:49,085 --> 00:43:52,547
is to appease and appealto the various voting groups.
743
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:55,258
Tell them whatthey want to hear,not what they need to hear.
744
00:43:55,341 --> 00:43:57,009
Give it to it, Pete.
745
00:43:57,093 --> 00:43:59,971
If this country is about
freedom and equality,
746
00:44:00,054 --> 00:44:03,266
why do we have black polls
and white polls
and women's polls,
747
00:44:03,349 --> 00:44:05,518
and age polls,
and income polls?
748
00:44:05,601 --> 00:44:07,061
What's he doing?
749
00:44:07,145 --> 00:44:09,397
He's being
a leader instead
of a politician.
750
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,066
[Pete] Is that how
you bring people together?
By separating them?
751
00:44:12,150 --> 00:44:13,067
Well, I don't think so.
752
00:44:13,151 --> 00:44:16,237
But campaign managers
tell you that you
need the information
753
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:20,032
in order to know what
promises to make
the different voting groups.
754
00:44:20,741 --> 00:44:24,495
And that's how you win,
and winning is everything.
755
00:44:24,579 --> 00:44:27,832
Oh, and don't worry
about those promises
once you're elected.
756
00:44:27,915 --> 00:44:29,417
Because you don't
have to keep them.
757
00:44:30,209 --> 00:44:32,545
People are so used to
broken promises,
758
00:44:32,628 --> 00:44:34,213
they don't care anymore.
759
00:44:35,006 --> 00:44:38,301
Politics has become a game
packaged by Madison Avenue.
760
00:44:38,384 --> 00:44:40,970
You want to appeal to men,
they show me
throwing a football.
761
00:44:41,053 --> 00:44:43,264
You want to appeal to women,
you kiss the babies.
762
00:44:43,347 --> 00:44:44,557
And whatever
you do, don't sweat!
763
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,727
Sweating is the kiss
of death on television.
764
00:44:47,810 --> 00:44:51,480
Well, I'm here to warn you,
if I'm elected mayor
of this city,
765
00:44:51,564 --> 00:44:54,525
I'm going to sweat,
because it's a tough job!
766
00:44:54,609 --> 00:44:56,777
And you're going to
have to sweat, too!
767
00:44:56,861 --> 00:44:58,821
Because having a city
that you can be proud of
768
00:44:58,905 --> 00:45:00,281
is a tough job!
769
00:45:00,364 --> 00:45:02,825
And in order to
get that job done,
770
00:45:02,909 --> 00:45:05,119
we're going to have
to work together
as a team.
771
00:45:05,786 --> 00:45:08,080
And stop thinking
about ourselves.
772
00:45:11,834 --> 00:45:13,878
I dream of a city
with pride,
773
00:45:15,588 --> 00:45:17,256
where people care
about each other,
774
00:45:17,340 --> 00:45:19,467
not just with words,
but with actions.
775
00:45:21,135 --> 00:45:23,095
We have to help the poor,
776
00:45:23,179 --> 00:45:25,348
we have to
educate our children,
777
00:45:25,431 --> 00:45:27,600
we have to clean up
our environment,
778
00:45:28,809 --> 00:45:31,187
and we have to make
our streets safe again
779
00:45:31,270 --> 00:45:33,105
for all our people!
780
00:45:33,731 --> 00:45:36,067
But I can't promise you
all those things,
781
00:45:36,150 --> 00:45:38,527
although my campaign
manager would like me to.
782
00:45:38,611 --> 00:45:41,447
Because it's not
up to me,
it's up to us!
783
00:45:42,114 --> 00:45:44,992
This is our city!
This is our country!
784
00:45:45,076 --> 00:45:49,080
And what happens to it,
is up to all of us!
785
00:46:27,284 --> 00:46:29,370
Heck of a speech
he made tonight,
wasn't it?
786
00:46:30,287 --> 00:46:31,580
It sure was.
787
00:46:33,958 --> 00:46:35,543
Think it could
ever happen?
788
00:46:36,502 --> 00:46:37,545
What?
789
00:46:37,753 --> 00:46:39,672
You know, like
he was saying,
790
00:46:39,755 --> 00:46:41,966
people working
together,
791
00:46:42,049 --> 00:46:44,885
helping each other
to make this city,
792
00:46:44,969 --> 00:46:46,762
this country,
the kind of place
it should be.
793
00:46:47,638 --> 00:46:49,223
Think that
could ever be?
794
00:46:51,058 --> 00:46:52,268
I don't know.
795
00:46:53,060 --> 00:46:54,979
It's like Pete said,
it's up to all of us.
796
00:47:09,702 --> 00:47:10,870
Hey!
797
00:47:10,953 --> 00:47:12,788
What are you doing
throwing your trash
in the street?
798
00:47:12,872 --> 00:47:14,790
Big deal.
What do you care?
799
00:47:14,874 --> 00:47:17,376
I care about you
trashing up the city!
800
00:47:17,460 --> 00:47:20,421
That's what we got
street cleaners for,
stupid.
