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