WEBVTT
01:00.258 --> 01:01.428
Hey!
03:27.740 --> 03:29.330
They took the white
kid to the hospital.
03:29.491 --> 03:30.491
He's in a coma.
03:31.619 --> 03:33.999
Officer, you should check in
with the family.
03:38.192 --> 03:40.692
Whatever you're selling,
I ain't buying.
03:41.295 --> 03:43.005
- Okay, guys, take off.
- Yes, sir.
03:44.298 --> 03:46.008
Coffee's free
for friends of the press.
03:50.379 --> 03:52.049
I heard Metro ballistics
was just here.
03:52.765 --> 03:53.845
Who told you that?
03:54.808 --> 03:55.938
You just did.
03:56.719 --> 03:58.179
You got the names
of the victims for me?
03:58.554 --> 03:59.554
You gotta be kidding me.
03:59.805 --> 04:01.265
You know I'm gonna find out anyway.
04:01.599 --> 04:02.729
Not from me.
04:03.517 --> 04:06.397
Okay, you want to play
a little confirm or deny?
04:07.271 --> 04:08.601
I'm not playing this game
with you, Cal.
04:10.191 --> 04:12.691
Look, Don,
I got a living to make, all right?
04:12.818 --> 04:14.818
I got mouths to feed,
goldfish.
04:15.071 --> 04:17.691
No names, no quotes, all right?
04:20.326 --> 04:21.326
Okay.
04:22.227 --> 04:24.607
- Two victims, one shooter?
- Confirm.
04:24.922 --> 04:27.792
- One dead, one in the hospital?
- Confirm.
04:28.842 --> 04:32.012
- Drug-related?
- Confirm, but deny later if I have to.
05:45.060 --> 05:46.670
- Good morning.
- - Good morning, Congressman.
05:46.751 --> 05:48.601
- Good morning, sir.
- Okay, I'm late. I know.
05:48.689 --> 05:50.029
I don't need to be reminded of it.
05:50.149 --> 05:51.909
I've been over the briefing notes
a thousand times.
05:52.026 --> 05:53.106
- Stephen.
- Yes?
05:53.594 --> 05:54.844
Metro Police just called.
05:55.496 --> 05:56.666
What?
05:57.781 --> 06:02.031
Sonia Baker was killed in an accident
on the Metro this morning.
06:03.369 --> 06:05.829
They identified her by her staff badge.
06:07.916 --> 06:10.256
Horrible news for all of us.
06:11.711 --> 06:13.581
But, Stephen,
we're scheduled to start now.
06:14.589 --> 06:15.889
What do you want to do?
06:35.568 --> 06:37.568
- Morning, Pittsburgh.
- Yinzer.
06:40.198 --> 06:41.538
- Cal.
- Morning.
06:41.741 --> 06:42.901
Talk to me about this shooting.
06:43.451 --> 06:44.781
We got one guy still alive.
06:45.245 --> 06:47.205
- Deshaun Stagg?
- No, he's dead.
06:47.330 --> 06:49.460
The other guy on the bike,
Vernon Sando.
06:49.582 --> 06:51.982
Hey, Gene, did you read
the guinea pig piece I filed?
06:52.066 --> 06:53.086
Yeah, I'll get to it, Ferris.
06:53.209 --> 06:54.639
Because it's a great
human interest story.
06:54.758 --> 06:56.398
- Yeah, human interest.
- - So what's the deal?
06:56.520 --> 06:58.840
Stagg's drug deal goes wrong,
and this guy just rides by?
06:58.960 --> 07:00.470
Yeah, something like that, I think.
07:00.628 --> 07:02.088
That's a remarkable feat of survival.
07:02.255 --> 07:04.045
Well, at least we got a little bit
of a zip code to it.
07:04.174 --> 07:05.464
Georgetown's the angle, right?
07:05.592 --> 07:08.302
No, no, the angle is
that this guy, Vernon Sando,
07:08.428 --> 07:09.808
has got an MBA from Duke.
07:09.929 --> 07:12.349
- What's he doing on a bike?
- He's buying a pizza franchise.
07:12.432 --> 07:13.712
You know, when they make you ride the bike
07:13.808 --> 07:15.158
for the first six months
to learn the ropes.
07:15.238 --> 07:17.768
He's got a wife, two kids,
mortgage, total citizen.
07:17.854 --> 07:19.104
What's his condition?
07:19.230 --> 07:21.570
Critical, nonreactive.
Paragraph three. He's in a coma.
07:21.900 --> 07:25.450
- Oh, okay. Uh, let me know.
- I will.
07:29.816 --> 07:32.156
- Good morning.
- - Good morning.
07:32.693 --> 07:33.983
Welcome to our hearings
07:34.070 --> 07:36.580
with private security contractor,
PointCorp,
07:36.753 --> 07:38.993
part of the inquiry
into the Defense Department's
07:39.075 --> 07:41.865
privatization and outsourcing practices.
07:42.036 --> 07:43.286
Before we begin...
07:44.455 --> 07:46.455
I just received
some terrible news.
07:48.417 --> 07:49.627
Sonia Baker,
07:50.962 --> 07:55.112
who is the lead researcher
for this committee
07:55.202 --> 08:00.152
and a valued member of my staff,
died this morning.
08:02.590 --> 08:05.970
The circumstances of her death
are not yet clear.
08:13.734 --> 08:17.904
Well, I'd like to send
my condolences to... to her family.
08:29.300 --> 08:30.850
Oh, my God, are those tears?
08:31.719 --> 08:33.519
Fifty bucks says he's balling her.
08:33.888 --> 08:36.438
Fifty bucks?
Wait, you owe me 50 bucks.
08:36.599 --> 08:38.149
Bad Congressman! Bad.
08:38.267 --> 08:39.767
What a scumball!
08:40.269 --> 08:41.859
Somebody get me a picture of the girl.
08:42.438 --> 08:44.488
Let's hope she's not 5'2"
and 300 pounds.
08:44.983 --> 08:48.153
Gene, Gene, what is your obsession
with fat girls?
08:48.277 --> 08:49.867
If you want to have sex with Pete,
you should just say it.
08:49.946 --> 08:51.026
Not tonight, I got a headache.
08:51.114 --> 08:53.194
- Say it. Say it, Gene.
- Picture! Picture!
08:53.366 --> 08:54.446
Say it.
08:54.575 --> 08:55.905
...reaction to the tragic death
08:56.057 --> 08:58.667
was initially and understandably
one of shock.
08:58.871 --> 09:01.281
Yet questions immediately
began to surface
09:01.457 --> 09:03.797
as soon as Ms. Baker's death
was announced.
09:09.298 --> 09:11.098
- Tell him I'll call him back.
- - All right.
09:13.886 --> 09:15.596
Hey, Joe, Cal McAffrey
over at the Globe.
09:16.139 --> 09:18.689
Just calling about that shooting
in Georgetown last night.
09:19.308 --> 09:21.858
I heard the dead kid had
a couple of priors as a purse snatcher.
09:24.063 --> 09:25.433
Got any more details for me?
09:28.317 --> 09:30.407
Uh-huh.
Call me back?
09:31.112 --> 09:32.272
Yeah, yeah. You, too.
09:34.198 --> 09:35.998
Hey, I got a question for you.
09:36.492 --> 09:37.612
Stephen Collins.
09:37.744 --> 09:39.284
He's an old friend of yours,
is that right?
09:40.997 --> 09:42.087
Yeah.
09:42.206 --> 09:43.746
I'm Della. Della Frye.
09:44.417 --> 09:46.377
I write the Capitol Hill blog.
09:46.794 --> 09:47.874
- All right.
- Online side.
09:47.962 --> 09:50.212
- Uh-huh.
- I'm a big fan of your work.
09:52.633 --> 09:57.133
So, I'm writing this piece
on personal relationships
09:57.221 --> 09:58.511
in the political sphere,
09:58.639 --> 10:01.149
"single girl in the corridors of power"
kind of thing,
10:01.309 --> 10:03.109
and as you probably know,
10:03.227 --> 10:06.277
there was this incident this morning
on the Hill at your friend's hearing.
10:06.355 --> 10:08.105
Is there a question on the horizon?
10:11.027 --> 10:12.817
Yeah. Have you spoken to him today?
10:14.197 --> 10:16.247
Are you trying to make me
part of your story?
10:16.991 --> 10:19.031
No, I'm trying to get a little context.
10:20.078 --> 10:21.668
Context, re: dirt?
10:23.956 --> 10:26.546
Well, do you think he was having
an affair with that girl?
10:27.585 --> 10:29.375
Gee, uh, Della?
10:30.213 --> 10:31.673
- Yeah.
- I don't know.
10:32.340 --> 10:35.600
I'd have to read a couple of blogs
before I could form an opinion.
10:37.845 --> 10:40.015
- Okay. Thanks for your help.
- Anytime!
10:44.936 --> 10:47.686
Capitol Hill may be
rocked with another bombshell.
10:47.772 --> 10:51.812
Speculation is rife that Stephen Collins
may have been romantically linked
10:51.943 --> 10:54.113
with the young aide found dead
this morning.
10:54.195 --> 10:56.575
His spokesmen called this
"another political cloud"...
10:56.656 --> 10:58.996
The timing couldn't be worse for Collins.
10:59.242 --> 11:01.952
He needs all the political
leverage he can get
11:02.286 --> 11:05.036
as he begins looking
into the Defense Department's
11:05.164 --> 11:06.664
outsourcing practices.
11:06.749 --> 11:09.839
Called mercenaries
by some, and saviors by others,
11:09.961 --> 11:13.381
PointCorp, the controversial
private military contractor,
11:13.548 --> 11:17.428
is said to be the biggest beneficiary
in the Defense Department's outsourcing
11:17.510 --> 11:19.180
in Iraq and Afghanistan.
11:19.303 --> 11:22.433
Collins, who'd been married for ten years
to his college sweetheart,
11:22.598 --> 11:25.438
is thought to have refused
to leave his wife for Miss Baker.
11:38.447 --> 11:39.657
Brass tacks.
11:40.616 --> 11:42.406
Were you having a relationship
with this girl?
11:46.672 --> 11:47.672
Yes.
11:48.332 --> 11:51.372
And I can't tell you how sorry I am,
about all of this.
11:52.628 --> 11:53.678
Okay.
11:54.839 --> 11:58.809
I've asked Andrew here to help us
handle things from a media point of view.
11:59.468 --> 12:01.518
If anyone can steer us through this,
he can.
12:02.388 --> 12:05.098
Well, the next 72 hours
are gonna be brutal.
12:05.516 --> 12:06.896
You ought to brace yourself for that.
12:07.393 --> 12:10.143
For a while, you're gonna be everything
that's wrong with politics.
12:11.063 --> 12:12.433
You're still a star, Steve.
12:13.691 --> 12:15.151
The party takes care of its stars.
12:15.401 --> 12:17.361
You just have to lay low for a while.
12:18.321 --> 12:19.441
How low?
12:19.655 --> 12:20.825
Low.
12:22.074 --> 12:25.704
Nothing that would bring
any undue attention to yourself.
12:26.829 --> 12:28.839
At the hearings, for instance.
12:30.583 --> 12:32.203
We're not finished with PointCorp.
12:32.543 --> 12:33.963
No, but you are.
12:36.255 --> 12:39.005
If you open up fire
on those guys right now,
12:39.175 --> 12:41.005
that's not gonna look like
good governance,
12:41.093 --> 12:43.513
just a calculated distraction.
12:45.973 --> 12:47.643
Is your wife speaking to you?
12:49.101 --> 12:50.561
No, not right now.
12:52.396 --> 12:53.856
Then that's job one, isn't it?
12:59.445 --> 13:02.405
Yinzer.
She knows you got the message,
13:02.782 --> 13:04.282
and she knows you're in the building.
13:06.953 --> 13:07.953
Yes.
13:10.665 --> 13:11.875
I'm not pressing, I'm asking.
13:18.381 --> 13:19.461
Morning.
13:19.632 --> 13:22.052
So, where are we?
Was he knobbing her or not?
13:23.386 --> 13:25.346
- Morning, Cam.
- You know what's funny about you?
13:25.471 --> 13:27.301
Every time your friend runs
for re-election
13:27.390 --> 13:29.690
or conducts a hearing,
you drop his name to me
13:29.767 --> 13:31.267
until we give him some coverage.
13:31.394 --> 13:32.564
But he finally does something
13:32.687 --> 13:34.897
that actually might
sell some newspapers,
13:35.022 --> 13:36.102
you're rendered mute.
13:36.524 --> 13:37.984
It's incongruous.
13:38.109 --> 13:40.409
Oh, it is not. It's inconsistent.
13:40.528 --> 13:42.238
Don't be an ass.
13:46.325 --> 13:47.405
What do you think?
13:47.785 --> 13:49.785
Those are the ideas
for our face-lift.
13:52.456 --> 13:54.206
I know. I know.
It's crap.
13:55.710 --> 13:59.300
Our new owners have this odd idea
that we ought to be turning a profit.
13:59.422 --> 14:02.292
Yeah, well, I hear our online side
is doing great.
14:02.508 --> 14:05.058
I mean, not like I'm the kind of guy
that would notice that sort of thing.
14:05.177 --> 14:07.847
I've been here, what,
uh, 15 years.
14:08.264 --> 14:10.094
I use a 16-year-old computer.
14:10.850 --> 14:13.610
She's been here 15 minutes,
and she could launch a Russian satellite
14:13.769 --> 14:14.769
with the gear she's got.
14:14.895 --> 14:16.775
Yeah, she told me you behaved like a pig.
14:17.189 --> 14:19.359
- That's too strong.
- Well, piggish.
14:20.276 --> 14:22.446
I showed her a little snout.
Uh-huh.
14:24.280 --> 14:27.580
Well, I happen to like Ms. Della Frye.
14:27.783 --> 14:30.663
And, yes, I did send her down there
to winkle something out of you.
14:32.496 --> 14:35.546
She's hungry, she's cheap,
and she churns out copy every hour.
14:35.708 --> 14:37.838
Yeah, I know, I'm overfed,
I'm too expensive,
14:37.960 --> 14:40.260
- and I take way too long.
- Yes, you do.
14:40.546 --> 14:43.256
I was Stephen Collins' roommate
in college.
14:43.924 --> 14:45.214
I don't live with him now.
14:45.843 --> 14:47.303
Well, that's a shame, isn't it?
14:47.428 --> 14:49.138
Yeah, 'cause that could sell
some newspapers.
14:51.766 --> 14:53.976
Miss Baker died
this morning in an apparent accident
14:54.185 --> 14:55.475
on the DC Metro.
14:55.936 --> 14:57.396
Suicide has not been ruled out.
14:59.231 --> 15:00.441
It appears to be a suicide.
15:00.566 --> 15:02.816
...orchestrated
to distract from the major issues...
15:03.027 --> 15:04.907
Stephen Collins cried over the death...
15:04.987 --> 15:07.447
People close to
the case say that Congressman Collins,
15:07.531 --> 15:09.901
quote, "took advantage
of this young girl,"
15:09.992 --> 15:11.612
resulting in today's suicide.
15:11.827 --> 15:13.117
- Suicide.
- Suicide.
15:41.440 --> 15:42.860
So I know what you're thinking,
15:43.442 --> 15:45.612
"This guy's gotta be pretty desperate
to show up here."
15:47.571 --> 15:50.031
No, I was thinking
I can finally give you back
15:50.157 --> 15:52.407
that Roxy Music CD
you left in my car.
15:53.661 --> 15:55.531
Is that where that one went?
I was looking for that.
15:57.248 --> 16:01.008
I got three dozen reporters
camped in front of my place.
16:02.878 --> 16:04.508
I'd go somewhere else,
16:04.672 --> 16:08.752
but I don't have
anywhere else to go.
16:11.595 --> 16:13.435
- Come in.
- Thanks.
16:21.730 --> 16:23.070
I see you redecorated.
16:23.315 --> 16:26.315
Yeah. I moved that couch
a couple of feet.
16:26.444 --> 16:29.864
Looks good.
16:30.781 --> 16:32.651
Aren't you gonna ask me
how I could be so stupid?
16:33.659 --> 16:34.869
- In a minute.
- Okay.
16:40.082 --> 16:43.962
You know, I cosponsored two bills
in the last three years.
16:44.253 --> 16:46.253
I'm in the middle of
coauthoring another one,
16:46.422 --> 16:48.082
and this is what I'm gonna be
remembered for.
16:49.800 --> 16:51.180
I'm gonna get
more coverage on this
16:51.260 --> 16:53.770
than anything else I do
for the rest of my life.
16:54.930 --> 16:58.100
The nature of the beast,
public office.
17:04.273 --> 17:05.443
Okay.
17:10.362 --> 17:11.772
Look, Cal,
17:14.241 --> 17:16.201
I know the last time I saw you,
I said a few things.
17:16.285 --> 17:17.365
Hey...
17:18.370 --> 17:21.090
I deserved it, all of it.
17:24.376 --> 17:26.756
Annie and I were having
problems in the marriage,
17:26.962 --> 17:28.172
obviously.
17:33.385 --> 17:35.345
You're the only real friend I got.
17:37.306 --> 17:38.806
I'm in trouble, man.
17:41.185 --> 17:42.355
You know?
17:42.978 --> 17:45.568
This whole thing with Sonia,
what happened,
17:45.731 --> 17:47.481
it just snuck up on me.
17:49.318 --> 17:50.738
She was an amazing woman,
17:52.029 --> 17:55.409
beautiful and really funny, smart.
17:56.700 --> 17:59.500
And she, uh--
she adored me.
18:00.496 --> 18:02.336
That was nice, you know?
18:03.457 --> 18:04.627
For a change.
18:10.339 --> 18:11.549
Have you called her parents?
18:12.258 --> 18:15.718
No, I haven't called her parents.
18:15.970 --> 18:17.020
You should.
18:17.513 --> 18:19.633
Tomorrow, you're gonna make
a condolence call.
18:19.974 --> 18:22.514
The first thing the attack dogs
will pick up on, you know,
18:22.643 --> 18:25.813
"He never so much as called
after our daughter's suicide."
18:29.900 --> 18:31.030
She didn't kill herself.
18:32.987 --> 18:34.327
How do you know that?
18:42.371 --> 18:46.331
Hey, baby, um, I just wanted
to wish you good luck.
18:46.417 --> 18:48.337
I want you to give 'em hell,
and, um...
18:49.295 --> 18:50.675
I can't wait for this weekend.
18:50.963 --> 18:53.003
I love you. Bye.
18:54.300 --> 18:55.640
That's this morning.
18:56.468 --> 18:58.638
Look like someone who's about
to go out and commit suicide?
18:59.430 --> 19:00.520
No.
19:03.267 --> 19:04.397
You showed this to anybody?
19:04.476 --> 19:06.356
- Well, I thought about
firing it up on YouTube.
19:06.437 --> 19:07.687
Hey, you know what?
19:08.105 --> 19:11.355
This is the moment where I ask you
how stupid could you be.
19:11.984 --> 19:13.484
This changes everything.
19:14.028 --> 19:15.278
Gonna bring it all back your way.
19:15.404 --> 19:16.734
How are you gonna do that?
19:16.947 --> 19:19.947
Because we're gonna fight back
with our own facts.
19:20.200 --> 19:21.910
All we have to do is,
we have to build
19:22.036 --> 19:24.286
a plausible alternative story,
all right?
19:26.832 --> 19:27.992
Now, look.
19:29.918 --> 19:33.178
"Unfortunately,
it appears that Sonia Baker
19:33.339 --> 19:36.259
has met with a tragic accident
on a subway platform.
19:39.011 --> 19:41.801
So questions have to be asked
about transit safety."
19:43.223 --> 19:44.343
- Okay?
- Cal...
19:44.433 --> 19:45.433
Now, Stephen...
19:46.769 --> 19:49.069
you gotta be proactive, okay?
19:49.396 --> 19:51.986
If you're not, then you're just
letting the bloodsuckers
19:52.066 --> 19:53.696
and the bloggers
have another free shot at you.
19:54.109 --> 19:55.869
"Bloodsuckers and the bloggers."
19:56.820 --> 19:58.790
Have you seen the Globe's
website tonight?
19:59.865 --> 20:00.995
No.
20:17.466 --> 20:18.426
Hello?
20:18.550 --> 20:21.220
Miss Capitol Hill Blog?
It's Cal McAffrey.
20:21.470 --> 20:23.520
- Do you have a pen?
- What?
20:23.806 --> 20:27.266
Sonia Baker, right? I have a source,
and you need to talk to him.
20:27.559 --> 20:29.269
Well, why?
20:29.436 --> 20:30.726
Do you have a pen?
20:30.979 --> 20:32.069
Yeah.
20:33.399 --> 20:35.859
- Lieutenant Leon Comey.
- Pen, pen, pen.
20:36.318 --> 20:38.528
Write that down.
C-O-M-E-Y.
20:39.154 --> 20:40.534
C-O-M-E-Y.
20:40.781 --> 20:44.951
202-555-0167.
20:45.077 --> 20:47.417
He's gonna show you
an off-the-record preview
20:48.163 --> 20:50.793
of the security camera tapes
from the Metro station.
20:51.041 --> 20:52.911
What, you mean--
Do you mean, like, now?
20:53.043 --> 20:55.253
Yeah, like now.
Sorry. Who am I calling?
20:55.337 --> 20:57.257
I was trying to get Della Frye,
the reporter.
20:57.339 --> 20:59.719
Gee, I'm sorry,
I thought that I was talking
20:59.842 --> 21:01.752
to the guy who wouldn't give me
the time of day this morning.
21:01.844 --> 21:06.684
Look, I am just trying to help you
get a few facts in the mix
21:06.932 --> 21:09.302
next time you decide
to upchuck online.
21:09.685 --> 21:11.605
What?
21:15.899 --> 21:17.449
I'm not doing it.
I'm not.
21:26.493 --> 21:27.743
Oh, my God.
21:41.842 --> 21:44.342
Does anybody know where
room 514 is?
21:46.180 --> 21:48.810
514A or 514B?
21:50.058 --> 21:53.188
Uh, it doesn't say.
Is there a big difference?
21:53.562 --> 21:57.022
Big enough. You looking for
Uniform Squad or Investigation?
21:58.400 --> 22:01.490
I don't know.
Cal McAffrey sent me.
22:01.653 --> 22:03.783
Why didn't you say so?
22:04.198 --> 22:05.328
You Cal's new assistant?
22:06.617 --> 22:07.957
No, I'm not.
22:08.035 --> 22:09.825
Oh. Hey, can I see that?
22:11.747 --> 22:13.337
Yeah, it's right down the hallway here.
22:13.707 --> 22:15.167
Okay. Thank you.
22:15.250 --> 22:16.590
Like a police escort?
22:17.377 --> 22:19.627
- No, I'm okay. Thank you.
- Hey, no trouble.
22:19.755 --> 22:21.505
I'm just grabbing some dinner
here real quick.
22:22.257 --> 22:23.677
So how long have you known Cal?
22:24.259 --> 22:25.599
Um, too long.
22:31.475 --> 22:33.225
What's your title?
Okay, Sergeant,
22:33.310 --> 22:36.730
I can file a public records request
and get the information anyway.
22:44.446 --> 22:46.826
- You got nothing?
- No.
22:48.075 --> 22:50.825
They've got 56 cameras
covering the track platforms.
22:50.953 --> 22:53.163
There are three blind spots
in the entire system,
22:53.330 --> 22:55.340
and Sonia Baker went down
in one of them.
22:55.666 --> 22:56.996
You got copy for me, Cal?
22:57.417 --> 22:59.337
The shooting, delivery guy--
what are we doing?
22:59.711 --> 23:01.621
- I'm on it.
- Well, I got Marty lined up
23:01.713 --> 23:02.833
to take some pictures
of the family.
23:02.923 --> 23:05.093
If you'd like, I can send
somebody out there with him.
23:05.175 --> 23:06.965
He can do the crying,
you can do the nuts and bolts.
23:07.052 --> 23:09.092
No, no need. I'm on it.
You'll have it tonight.
23:09.429 --> 23:10.389
You're on it.
23:10.806 --> 23:13.806
Okay.
You know what you gotta do?
23:13.934 --> 23:17.434
Call Leon, all right?
Just sort of push him for the details.
23:17.688 --> 23:19.238
Ask him a few more questions.
You know--
23:19.356 --> 23:21.316
Nine suicides in 20 years.
23:22.109 --> 23:23.569
There were five accidental deaths,
23:23.735 --> 23:24.985
three from people
trying to get their stuff
23:25.112 --> 23:26.522
off the tracks before the train came,
23:26.613 --> 23:29.153
and two of these psycho-on-stranger
pushing attacks.
23:29.283 --> 23:31.033
Did Collins sleep
at your place last night?
23:31.660 --> 23:33.250
- What?
- Hmm?
23:34.830 --> 23:36.880
Oh, I was just trying
to get my facts straight.
23:39.001 --> 23:41.291
Excuse me. Della here.
23:44.423 --> 23:47.093
Uh, yeah, just a sec.
He's right here.
23:47.259 --> 23:48.599
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
23:50.345 --> 23:52.435
It's Anne Collins.
23:55.601 --> 23:56.891
Hey, I'm not at my desk
at the moment.
23:56.977 --> 24:00.027
Can I call you back?
Yeah.
24:01.940 --> 24:04.320
You know, look into the two
psycho-on-stranger cases.
24:04.985 --> 24:06.905
See if anything correlates
or anything connects.
24:07.237 --> 24:08.407
Mm-hmm.
24:17.164 --> 24:18.744
- Hello?
- - Hey.
24:19.583 --> 24:20.913
- You okay?
- No.
24:22.502 --> 24:23.962
There are paparazzi
on my lawn,
24:24.087 --> 24:27.347
so I guess that entitles me
to half off on a Us Weekly.
24:29.593 --> 24:30.843
I've been trying to call you.
24:31.887 --> 24:33.307
I had my phone off.
24:34.473 --> 24:36.973
- You talk to Stephen yet?
- No.
24:39.645 --> 24:41.775
They want me to come down
for a press conference.
24:42.606 --> 24:45.356
Well, you know if you don't,
they're gonna toss him on the bonfire.
24:47.611 --> 24:50.611
You know, I'm not that hurt.
I'm not even that surprised.
24:52.950 --> 24:55.000
It's just so humiliating,
you know.
24:58.288 --> 24:59.588
Tell me you didn't know about her.
24:59.748 --> 25:02.338
I didn't.
I did not know about her, okay?
25:04.127 --> 25:05.337
I'll take the train down.
25:06.421 --> 25:07.961
Will you buy me a drink after?
25:10.008 --> 25:11.008
Of course.
25:11.093 --> 25:13.553
Hey, just call him, all right?
25:13.887 --> 25:15.017
Just call Stephen.
25:16.014 --> 25:17.184
Thanks.
25:29.152 --> 25:30.272
Deshaun Stagg.
25:30.570 --> 25:32.030
Be nice if they could
spell his name right.
25:32.614 --> 25:34.534
No one's even come
to get his stuff yet.
25:34.616 --> 25:35.616
It's appalling.
25:35.826 --> 25:37.116
Never happen to a white man.
25:37.869 --> 25:39.289
Skip it.
I'm not in the mood.
25:39.955 --> 25:41.745
What, no love, no politics?
25:42.290 --> 25:43.420
What are we gonna talk about?
25:43.542 --> 25:46.462
We're not. You better get out of here
before we both get into trouble.
25:48.714 --> 25:50.214
They're saying it was only one shooter.
25:50.382 --> 25:51.752
- What do you think?
- No idea.
25:52.634 --> 25:55.264
Uh-huh.
What about drugs?
25:55.929 --> 25:57.099
It's a good bet.
25:58.348 --> 26:00.268
Come on, Cal,
leave that shit alone.
26:00.392 --> 26:02.602
Close your eyes,
just checking out his cell phone.
26:04.438 --> 26:06.398
Watch, this will be
the moment they decide
26:06.523 --> 26:07.983
to come and pick all this shit up.
26:08.066 --> 26:09.406
Then what are you gonna do?
26:09.818 --> 26:12.738
Write some articles,
get me my job back?
26:12.821 --> 26:13.861
You know I will.
26:14.698 --> 26:15.658
Cal?
26:17.284 --> 26:19.914
Cal, for Christ sakes,
what do I tell Jack if he walks in?
26:20.203 --> 26:22.123
Nothing, 'cause I'm done.
26:26.209 --> 26:27.589
I'll give you a hug next time, all right?
26:30.130 --> 26:31.220
Bye.
26:37.846 --> 26:39.096
Buy me a soda?
26:42.893 --> 26:44.063
Not diet.
26:54.821 --> 26:55.901
Thanks.
27:02.412 --> 27:04.622
Yo, yo, if you want to leave
a message for Kippy,
27:04.790 --> 27:06.130
make sure you leave
your number, all right?
27:06.208 --> 27:08.338
That way I can call you back.
Later for you.
27:11.171 --> 27:13.461
We're sorry, your call cannot be--
27:18.011 --> 27:20.301
- Yo, who this?
- It's me, man. Who that?
27:20.889 --> 27:23.599
- Me who? Bitch, you the one
got your number blocked!
27:23.725 --> 27:26.935
Don't be fronting me, man.
It's Deshaun. Come on.
27:27.104 --> 27:28.184
- No.
- Where you at?
27:28.271 --> 27:29.931
Who the hell gave you my number, fool?
27:30.273 --> 27:31.603
I was just talking to Kippy.
27:31.942 --> 27:33.312
- Skippy?
- Kippy, man.
27:33.401 --> 27:34.861
This shit ain't funny, trick.
27:45.330 --> 27:46.790
Hi. You've reached Sonia Baker.
27:46.873 --> 27:49.913
I can't take your call right now,
but if you leave your name, number,
27:50.001 --> 27:51.871
and the time you called,
I'll be sure to get back to you.
27:52.087 --> 27:53.127
Thanks.
28:04.766 --> 28:06.306
Hi. You've reached Sonia Baker.
28:06.518 --> 28:09.478
I can't take your call right now,
but if you leave your name, number,
28:09.646 --> 28:12.026
and the time you called,
I'll be sure to get back to you. Thanks.
28:19.573 --> 28:20.783
Excuse me.
28:24.119 --> 28:25.249
Sonia Baker.
28:26.163 --> 28:27.873
We got any kind of drug angle on her?
28:28.039 --> 28:30.049
She ever arrested or rehabbed
or anything like that?
28:30.375 --> 28:32.255
- Who's asking?
- Me.
28:32.836 --> 28:34.046
You're not on the story.
28:35.005 --> 28:36.465
I gave you the Metro tapes idea, right?
28:37.424 --> 28:38.504
Yeah.
28:39.676 --> 28:42.886
So are you trying to ruin
what's left of her reputation?
28:44.222 --> 28:48.142
Are you doing this for Collins?
A little context on Sonia?
28:50.395 --> 28:51.895
You gotta be kidding.
29:03.783 --> 29:06.663
- Hey, Maurice.
- Hey, Cal. You getting your regular?
29:07.162 --> 29:08.122
Yeah.
29:08.246 --> 29:10.376
- Sure. Hey, Jay!
- Yo.
29:10.498 --> 29:13.378
I need a chili cheeseburger,
a chili cheese fry,
29:13.752 --> 29:15.002
and a chili half-smoke.
29:15.295 --> 29:16.795
I got the burger on!
29:18.798 --> 29:20.098
Anybody get you yet?
29:29.184 --> 29:31.104
All right.
You're a hungry man, eh?
29:31.228 --> 29:33.148
- Yeah.
- How's it going, Happy?
29:55.794 --> 29:57.464
That's a long way to go for another soda.
30:00.966 --> 30:03.886
You want to buy something
from the last bag Deshaun ever stole?
30:05.136 --> 30:06.676
I need 500 bucks.
30:25.156 --> 30:27.246
- Did you get the train okay?
- What?
30:27.659 --> 30:28.909
Did you get on the train all right?
30:29.202 --> 30:31.992
Get through.
Everything okay?
30:33.290 --> 30:34.920
You're gonna make small talk?
30:39.879 --> 30:42.719
Um...
I will go check on the arrangements.
31:01.985 --> 31:03.405
I'm sorry.
31:10.493 --> 31:12.203
It doesn't have to be
a detailed statement.
31:12.787 --> 31:14.497
Short and dignified,
and we'll be out of here.
31:15.957 --> 31:18.377
Dignified. Got it.
31:27.010 --> 31:29.100
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for joining us here today.
31:29.220 --> 31:31.390
Mr. and Mrs. Collins would like
to give a brief statement.
31:49.991 --> 31:52.451
Deshaun boosted
this metal briefcase
31:52.535 --> 31:55.285
from some guy outside a Starbucks.
31:56.331 --> 31:58.041
That's what we did, you know?
32:00.001 --> 32:03.291
Grab a guy's bag
and sell it back to him.
32:08.343 --> 32:09.843
Usually we just got, like,
32:09.928 --> 32:12.178
people's business papers
and shit.
32:13.181 --> 32:16.141
This one?
This one was different.
32:47.090 --> 32:48.720
There was a gun
in there, too,
32:49.843 --> 32:52.973
and a little bag of these
weird-looking bullets.
32:54.556 --> 32:56.266
Did you see the guy
that owned the bag?
32:56.599 --> 32:57.649
No.
33:00.395 --> 33:03.775
I told Deshaun we shouldn't
sell this bag back.
33:04.274 --> 33:06.194
I mean, you know,
what about the girl?
33:06.276 --> 33:09.566
But he needed a fix real bad,
33:09.654 --> 33:14.324
and he and this guy figured out
a time and place.
33:14.409 --> 33:16.209
And that was it.
33:19.414 --> 33:20.954
My boy never came back.
33:22.083 --> 33:23.913
You took these out
of the briefcase first,
33:25.420 --> 33:27.550
and then you called her
from Deshaun's phone.
33:27.755 --> 33:29.215
Her number was there, too.
33:30.300 --> 33:31.600
Figured someone had to warn her
33:31.676 --> 33:34.096
that this psycho
was following her around.
33:36.222 --> 33:37.632
She just didn't pick up.
33:38.641 --> 33:42.101
Mr. Collins moved to staunch
a growing tide of hostility
33:42.228 --> 33:43.608
towards him this afternoon
33:43.730 --> 33:45.190
when he appeared
together with his...
33:45.315 --> 33:46.895
...the long line of politicians' wives.
33:47.025 --> 33:48.905
We've had triumphs
and disappointments,
33:49.569 --> 33:52.279
and we've both made mistakes
that have caused...
33:52.489 --> 33:55.369
...apologize
for his affair and offer an apology
33:55.450 --> 33:56.580
to his constituents.
33:56.993 --> 33:58.073
Can you believe this?
33:58.411 --> 34:00.371
We're on six channels
simultaneously.
34:00.705 --> 34:01.955
Who might have wanted
Sonia dead?
34:03.708 --> 34:04.708
What?
34:04.834 --> 34:05.954
Is there something in her history,
34:06.044 --> 34:07.294
you know, something
you haven't told me about?
34:07.378 --> 34:10.048
Some connections that might have
got her in trouble?
34:10.173 --> 34:13.883
No. No, no. Wait, who--
34:14.052 --> 34:16.342
Am I talking to my friend now,
or am I talking to a reporter?
34:19.015 --> 34:20.015
I gotta be both.
34:20.517 --> 34:22.937
You ever heard of a guy
called Deshaun Stagg?
34:23.144 --> 34:25.474
- No.
- Was a kid. Minor criminal.
34:26.022 --> 34:27.022
Drug addict.
34:27.524 --> 34:29.484
Got shot and killed
the night before Sonia died.
34:29.692 --> 34:31.862
Cal, Sonia didn't have
anything to do with drugs.
34:32.737 --> 34:34.827
Look, Stephen,
I'm telling you things
34:34.906 --> 34:36.656
that I haven't even
discussed with the paper.
34:37.033 --> 34:38.153
Okay, you gotta think about this.
34:38.910 --> 34:40.580
Who might have wanted
Sonia dead?
34:57.595 --> 35:00.135
Who is this man here
in all the photographs
35:00.223 --> 35:01.513
where she's crying?
35:01.641 --> 35:02.761
We don't know that yet.
35:04.602 --> 35:07.272
And what was her background
before she started working with Collins?
35:07.855 --> 35:11.525
Um, well, she has some very
random moments in her résumé.
35:11.609 --> 35:13.869
She was--
she waitressed a couple times.
35:14.028 --> 35:15.528
She had a string of bad debts.
35:16.281 --> 35:17.991
Shoplifting conviction
two years ago.
35:18.157 --> 35:19.997
Do they do background
checks on the Hill?
35:20.368 --> 35:24.328
She wrote position papers for Collins
about bank regulations and the SEC.
35:24.455 --> 35:26.415
I mean, a lot of people thought
she was a star.
35:26.624 --> 35:30.334
She was also the lead researcher
on the PointCorp hearings.
35:31.129 --> 35:32.219
So?
35:34.465 --> 35:37.505
Stephen represents the loss
of a lot of money for those guys.
35:39.679 --> 35:43.059
Look, what if all of this
is just an attempt
35:43.141 --> 35:44.641
to marginalize
Stephen Collins?
35:46.644 --> 35:48.524
Oh, you've gotta
love him for it, haven't you?
35:48.646 --> 35:51.686
I mean, you give him 24 hours,
body in the alley,
35:51.774 --> 35:55.404
and this geezer will turn it
into a full-blown corporate conspiracy.
35:55.486 --> 35:57.736
- You don't see any connection?
- No.
35:58.406 --> 36:00.286
All right, let's go through
what we know, okay?
36:00.617 --> 36:02.577
The guy that was stalking Sonia Baker,
36:03.620 --> 36:06.210
he shot Deshaun Stagg
and Vernon Sando.
36:07.874 --> 36:11.204
Deshaun Stagg, of no fixed abode,
he boosts a briefcase.
36:11.753 --> 36:13.713
Now, in that briefcase
are these photographs,
36:14.255 --> 36:16.425
and, according to our source,
36:16.716 --> 36:18.306
a little Baggie of weird bullets.
36:19.510 --> 36:22.640
Metro PD ballistics tell me
the casings at the crime scene
36:23.181 --> 36:24.891
were reloads, untraceable.
36:25.725 --> 36:28.145
The slugs were hand-cast,
36:28.227 --> 36:29.977
twice the weight of store-bought bullets.
36:31.230 --> 36:32.320
X'd for expansion.
36:32.482 --> 36:35.522
So that means that the shooter
intended to kill.
36:36.944 --> 36:38.944
Stagg and Sando
were both double-tapped,
36:39.030 --> 36:40.540
one bullet in the spine,
one in the head.
36:40.615 --> 36:43.115
That is the mark of a pro
or, at the very least,
36:43.242 --> 36:44.742
somebody with a military
background,
36:44.911 --> 36:46.321
perhaps even Special Forces.
36:47.538 --> 36:53.378
PointCorp founded by,
staffed by 100% ex-military.
36:56.172 --> 36:57.882
I think that's a connection
we can't ignore.
37:02.720 --> 37:04.810
Chris, how long before
we have to hand these over?
37:06.557 --> 37:09.357
Time to verify,
consult relevant case files,
37:09.477 --> 37:11.357
outside counsel--
48 hours, tops.
37:13.481 --> 37:15.941
But if this is evidence,
don't they need to see it now?
37:27.537 --> 37:28.707
How's he doing?
37:48.141 --> 37:49.841
Hey, you gonna let me know
if I gotta call the ID team, right?
37:49.934 --> 37:51.054
I'll let you know.
37:56.190 --> 37:57.280
Walter Schroyer,
37:57.650 --> 37:59.820
army buddy of your libidinous friend,
38:00.027 --> 38:02.327
gives his moving tribute
to Stephen Collins
38:02.488 --> 38:05.408
in that asswipe excuse of a paper
and not to us. Why?
38:06.075 --> 38:08.615
Platitudes, padding, and fluff.
38:09.537 --> 38:10.827
I'm a journalist.
I'm not a publicist.
38:11.581 --> 38:14.161
I want to bring some more people in
to work with you on this, Cal,
38:14.250 --> 38:17.050
on the political side.
People with real experience.
38:17.378 --> 38:18.878
I'm thinking Ted Moody.
38:19.046 --> 38:22.096
- I mean, Ted's perfect for this.
- Are you taking me off the story?
38:22.884 --> 38:25.594
No, no.
Not off, just off point.
38:26.053 --> 38:28.553
If this is as big
as he says it is, a big "if,"
38:28.848 --> 38:30.398
then it's gonna be good for you.
38:30.683 --> 38:32.303
How? How is that good?
38:32.643 --> 38:36.313
Well, watching seasoned reporters
at work on a big story, you know,
38:36.439 --> 38:38.149
being a part of it all,
you'll learn a lot.
38:38.232 --> 38:39.772
So Ted Moody,
what do you think?
38:39.859 --> 38:42.409
- Don't let her do it.
- And, Cal, if you're on this,
38:42.487 --> 38:44.447
I want this to be clean
through and through.
38:44.530 --> 38:46.660
Tell her to forget it.
It's your gig.
38:46.824 --> 38:48.494
You got it.
Get loud now.
38:49.285 --> 38:50.535
Excuse me.
You're defending her now?
38:50.661 --> 38:52.031
She's fine.
I can work with her.
38:53.498 --> 38:56.838
- But, Cal, she's inexperienced.
- Inexperience isn't fatal.
38:56.918 --> 38:58.468
I'm not giving up the story!
39:00.546 --> 39:03.216
I just...
sorry, I just--
39:03.299 --> 39:06.179
If I could just have
a few more days with it,
39:06.385 --> 39:08.135
I promise you
I'm not gonna let you down.
39:11.849 --> 39:13.189
Oh, for Christ's sake.
39:15.102 --> 39:17.352
Don't throw those dewy
cub reporter eyes at me.
39:17.438 --> 39:18.438
It's nauseating.
39:22.527 --> 39:24.237
- And fuck you very much.
- - Pleasure.
39:28.157 --> 39:30.247
The lab work's back.
It's the panel 13 you ordered?
39:30.493 --> 39:32.743
Yeah, well, we called for
a neurologist a half hour ago.
39:33.579 --> 39:34.919
You can't use that phone here, sir.
39:35.665 --> 39:37.455
Hey. What's up, Carnes?
How you doing?
39:38.584 --> 39:39.624
Yeah. Yeah.
39:39.710 --> 39:41.170
Looks like that
Sando guy's waking up.
39:41.254 --> 39:42.374
You sending anyone over?
39:49.428 --> 39:51.728
- You ever been to DC Hospital?
- - No.
39:51.848 --> 39:53.138
Don't worry about it.
It's easy.
39:53.516 --> 39:56.226
All right, there's a uniformed
officer on the third floor ICU.
39:56.602 --> 39:58.512
- Okay.
- Write it down. Got a pen?
39:58.604 --> 39:59.724
- Yes...
- Here.
39:59.814 --> 40:01.184
- I have a pen.
- Okay.
40:01.274 --> 40:02.944
The uniformed officer's
name is Brown.
40:03.901 --> 40:04.981
- Okay?
- Brown.
40:05.111 --> 40:06.731
- Third floor ICU.
- Uh-huh.
40:06.863 --> 40:08.323
Tell him that Detective Bynes--
40:08.573 --> 40:11.033
- B-Y-N-E-S, Joe Bynes...
- Okay.
40:11.200 --> 40:13.830
- All right, he cleared you for access.
- Access for what?
40:15.371 --> 40:17.701
Vernon Sando, the pizza guy,
looks like he's coming around.
40:18.708 --> 40:20.128
That's your side of the story.
40:20.626 --> 40:22.586
- Excuse me?
- You heard me.
40:23.963 --> 40:26.753
You want me to go and sit around
in some hospital,
40:27.008 --> 40:30.308
waiting for a guy who looks like
he might be coming out of a coma,
40:30.511 --> 40:32.381
while you clean up
the rest of the story?
40:33.681 --> 40:36.091
I mean, is that what
that was all about in there?
40:36.809 --> 40:40.109
Look, this is a real story.
40:40.730 --> 40:43.530
It's not open for interpretation.
It does not require opinion.
40:44.275 --> 40:47.065
We got two dead bodies,
and we got a guy in a coma,
40:48.279 --> 40:49.989
and we got us with a lead
that nobody else has got.
40:50.156 --> 40:51.286
So you gotta make a decision,
40:51.449 --> 40:52.999
because I have to follow
another lead tonight,
40:53.117 --> 40:55.077
and I cannot be
in two places at one time.
40:56.787 --> 40:58.247
So are you gonna be okay slumming it
40:58.372 --> 41:00.452
to find out if Vernon Sando's
coming around or not?
41:03.969 --> 41:05.139
Good.
41:05.921 --> 41:10.051
If we're gonna work together,
we gotta work together.
41:10.408 --> 41:12.248
Yeah? Deal?
41:18.893 --> 41:20.103
All right, see you later.
42:07.191 --> 42:08.351
Excuse me.
42:23.708 --> 42:24.838
Don't tell me you're still lost.
42:26.085 --> 42:28.005
Hey, what are you doing here?
42:28.254 --> 42:29.254
Working.
42:30.715 --> 42:31.885
You're Officer Brown?
42:33.300 --> 42:34.600
You're who I'm looking for.
42:34.677 --> 42:36.597
I knew you'd come around.
42:36.679 --> 42:38.729
How about Sando?
42:38.806 --> 42:39.976
Is he coming around?
42:40.349 --> 42:41.939
Yeah, yeah, it looks that way.
42:42.059 --> 42:44.069
They're sending a detective over
right now.
42:44.854 --> 42:46.644
- Maybe get an ID.
- Really?
42:47.273 --> 42:50.603
- Um, I gotta take this.
- Yeah, go ahead.
42:51.152 --> 42:52.522
Yeah, Officer Brown.
42:55.114 --> 42:56.114
No, sir.
42:56.957 --> 42:58.167
You okay?
43:00.327 --> 43:02.497
My dad did warn me
about politicians.
43:04.155 --> 43:07.615
Only people he hated more
was journalists.
43:10.463 --> 43:11.543
Smart man.
43:15.334 --> 43:16.584
Am I making you nervous?
43:17.178 --> 43:18.308
You always did.
43:20.848 --> 43:23.478
Well, they say sex is the best way
to ruin a friendship.
43:23.642 --> 43:25.722
They do, do they?
And who's "they"?
43:25.811 --> 43:29.141
What, Cosmopolitan magazine?
Teen Beat?
43:29.857 --> 43:30.947
Come on.
43:31.942 --> 43:33.942
Tell me, please, it didn't ruin ours.
43:34.779 --> 43:36.159
It hasn't ruined anything.
44:00.387 --> 44:01.597
Pulse is 82.
44:01.680 --> 44:05.920
BP is 105 over 79, O2 sat's 94.
44:06.002 --> 44:07.162
He seems stable.
44:07.645 --> 44:10.315
Okay, let's do another
blood workup, CBCs...
44:10.481 --> 44:11.641
Miss, you cannot be in here.
44:11.732 --> 44:13.272
- I'd just like to ask him...
- Miss, please!
44:13.818 --> 44:15.198
- No, I'm sorry.
- Come on, look,
44:15.319 --> 44:16.869
you know you're not
supposed to be in here.
44:17.029 --> 44:18.829
I know, I just--
44:21.909 --> 44:23.079
Get on the ground!
44:26.914 --> 44:28.624
Stand back! Stay down.
44:46.475 --> 44:48.605
That's a colleague of mine.
I'm gonna have to go.
44:49.311 --> 44:51.811
I'm really sorry.
I'll see you soon.
44:51.897 --> 44:53.067
Okay.
44:59.780 --> 45:02.250
Let him through.
Blockade, let him through.
45:02.616 --> 45:04.616
- Hey, Ricky!
- - Let him through.
45:09.874 --> 45:10.994
Della!
45:15.421 --> 45:17.171
You okay? You all right?
45:17.715 --> 45:18.965
- You okay?
- - Yeah.
45:21.218 --> 45:23.098
Della, tell me that's not yours, right?
45:23.179 --> 45:25.099
- What is it?
- It's just a little bit of blood.
45:25.222 --> 45:28.302
It's all right. I got it.
I got it, I got it. It's okay.
45:29.351 --> 45:31.011
It's okay.
45:34.231 --> 45:36.441
It's all right.
It's all right. It's all right.
45:39.153 --> 45:41.523
Oh, my God, Cal,
we could have stopped this!
45:41.989 --> 45:43.369
What, by being psychic?
45:43.449 --> 45:46.709
No. We should have given
the police that file.
45:46.785 --> 45:49.125
What if there were fingerprints
on the photographs?
45:51.207 --> 45:54.587
God, Cal, we can't just let
people get hurt like that.
45:54.710 --> 45:56.050
Look, it's over.
It's all right. It's okay.
45:56.128 --> 45:57.418
We can't just keep
letting people get killed.
45:57.504 --> 45:59.044
- It's okay.
- No, it's not okay.
45:59.131 --> 46:01.671
It's okay. It's over.
It's over.
46:02.509 --> 46:06.269
It's over... all right?
It's okay.
46:13.969 --> 46:16.489
You're sitting on evidence
in an execution homicide.
46:16.690 --> 46:18.530
How do you think that's gonna
play with the family of the guy
46:18.609 --> 46:20.699
- that just got shot last night?
- Chris, let's be productive.
46:20.778 --> 46:22.028
Hold on, I'm actually not done.
46:22.112 --> 46:24.942
Our reporter made
a full statement last night.
46:25.032 --> 46:26.862
- What, you had these when?
- Cam, don't answer that!
46:26.951 --> 46:29.201
When did you have these?
You want subpoenas?
46:29.328 --> 46:30.778
- I'll get on the phone right now.
- We called you!
46:30.859 --> 46:32.789
We called you before
we called outside counsel.
46:32.873 --> 46:34.413
A little late. It's a little late.
46:34.500 --> 46:36.010
Oh, give me a break.
46:39.922 --> 46:41.082
How you doing, Don?
46:41.799 --> 46:44.509
- I'm hanging in, Cal. You?
- Good. Good.
46:46.845 --> 46:49.225
This source have anything else
I might need to do my job?
46:49.606 --> 46:50.686
Wait a minute.
46:50.766 --> 46:54.726
Nothing, all right? This was it,
and we've kept it for less than a day.
46:56.188 --> 46:57.738
Detective, until last night, we--
46:57.815 --> 46:59.565
we didn't actually know
what we had here.
46:59.692 --> 47:00.652
Bullshit.
47:02.194 --> 47:03.984
Who do you think I am,
Bambi's baby brother?
47:04.655 --> 47:05.785
No, sir.
47:05.906 --> 47:07.286
You knew exactly what you had.
47:07.992 --> 47:10.532
You just decided that your need
was greater than ours,
47:11.328 --> 47:12.788
and now you have blood
on your hands.
47:13.038 --> 47:15.338
- Hold on.
- Detective, look.
47:16.041 --> 47:19.831
The thesis that we are pursuing
involves a certain company
47:19.920 --> 47:22.390
that Congressman Collins
is investigating.
47:22.673 --> 47:26.343
What, this is corporate conspiracies
that threaten the highest levels?
47:26.760 --> 47:29.520
All my years on the job,
I've only ever seen that on TV.
47:30.055 --> 47:32.895
All the years I've known you,
you've only ever watched sports on TV.
47:33.475 --> 47:37.435
So, Detective,
in exchange for our cooperation,
47:37.646 --> 47:40.356
can we be assured that you will
open your books to us?
47:40.524 --> 47:41.734
Quid pro quo?
47:46.613 --> 47:47.863
If we decide to go public with this,
47:47.948 --> 47:49.948
we'll give you six hours,
but that's the end of it.
47:50.075 --> 47:52.075
This is an open
homicide investigation.
47:52.202 --> 47:54.032
You slow us down,
endanger the public
47:54.163 --> 47:56.493
any more than you already have,
it won't be pretty.
47:56.874 --> 47:59.914
For the record, I'm still not happy
the way you presented the evidence.
48:00.044 --> 48:02.334
I'm just gonna put that out there.
48:06.091 --> 48:07.381
Police gossip being what it is,
48:07.468 --> 48:09.678
I'm guessing that even
Entertainment Tonight
48:09.762 --> 48:12.132
will know as much as we do
within 48 hours.
48:12.473 --> 48:14.303
So we've gotta have
something solid today.
48:14.850 --> 48:17.360
That means no assumptions,
no unnamed sources.
48:17.436 --> 48:20.046
Not fast and loose.
I want this thing wrung out.
48:21.106 --> 48:23.776
Damned if we can't do a better
job of it than those cops.
48:26.327 --> 48:27.617
Della, how are you?
48:28.996 --> 48:30.166
I'm good.
48:30.957 --> 48:32.087
- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
48:32.166 --> 48:34.456
Good, okay.
Well, you take Sonia Baker, okay?
48:34.660 --> 48:36.330
I want to know everything
that we can about her,
48:36.412 --> 48:38.702
who she knew, who she blew,
the color of her knickers.
48:39.207 --> 48:40.667
- Got it.
- PointCorp?
48:41.709 --> 48:43.669
Okay, Hank and Pete,
you work with Cal.
48:43.836 --> 48:44.696
Cool.
48:44.784 --> 48:46.284
The rule on this one is discretion.
48:46.369 --> 48:49.539
This is not a good subject for gossip
over drinks at the Monocle.
48:50.665 --> 48:52.795
Or spliffs in the stationery cupboard,
you.
48:54.168 --> 48:56.878
- I'm offended, truly.
- Well, be offended.
48:57.004 --> 48:58.544
Go downstairs, get your stuff,
bring it in here,
48:58.673 --> 49:00.173
because this is your new home.
49:00.842 --> 49:04.262
- Go on!
- Okay! Yes, yes, yes. Speed of light.
49:12.145 --> 49:15.235
Cal, any conflict of interest here?
49:17.958 --> 49:19.008
No.
49:21.453 --> 49:22.993
Perhaps this is a good opportunity
49:23.076 --> 49:24.866
to address another issue
that's been discussed
49:24.994 --> 49:27.744
during these hearings,
your price structure.
49:28.331 --> 49:30.581
Surely, and I thank you
for giving me
49:30.708 --> 49:32.758
an opportunity to touch on that today.
49:33.544 --> 49:36.124
Our price structure follows
the Defense Department model
49:36.214 --> 49:38.254
as established in the first Gulf War,
49:38.466 --> 49:40.676
adjusted, of course, for inflation.
49:41.386 --> 49:44.676
Happily, what's costing us
so much this time around
49:44.889 --> 49:48.309
are some incredible advances
in on-field medical care.
49:49.102 --> 49:50.812
Put simply,
we're now keeping more--
49:50.937 --> 49:52.277
Sir, I'm sorry, just...
49:52.939 --> 49:55.279
When you were in the military,
did you see any combat duty?
49:55.400 --> 49:56.610
- No, sir, I did not.
- No.
49:57.151 --> 49:58.771
Do you think if you had,
you might see things differently?
49:59.070 --> 50:01.090
We're all aware
of your war record, Congressman.
50:01.210 --> 50:02.360
I'm not talking about my record.
50:02.485 --> 50:05.825
I'm talking about the numerous
allegations of atrocities
50:05.910 --> 50:08.960
committed by PointCorp
and its subsidiary contractors
50:09.080 --> 50:11.790
against the civilian population
in Iraq and Afghanistan.
50:11.874 --> 50:14.874
Those are unsubstantiated allegations.
50:15.211 --> 50:16.671
Okay.
This is straightforward.
50:17.505 --> 50:20.345
Since a war on terror was declared,
50:21.050 --> 50:24.970
has your personal net worth
gone up by more than $250 million?
50:31.241 --> 50:32.081
Straightforward question.
50:33.045 --> 50:35.925
Excuse me, I was told that
personal financial data
50:36.048 --> 50:38.098
would not be addressed
in open session.
50:39.218 --> 50:40.138
Adapt.
50:43.097 --> 50:44.187
Isn't that your slogan?
50:44.954 --> 50:46.514
"Adapt and Achieve"?
50:47.636 --> 50:50.106
It's on the brochure here.
50:51.021 --> 50:53.271
"Commoda et Confice."
You have it in Latin.
50:54.419 --> 50:55.649
Your point being?
50:55.797 --> 50:59.737
Putting war in the hands of mercenaries
and those who consider it a business
51:00.322 --> 51:02.502
is a contradiction in terms
in any language.
51:02.592 --> 51:07.342
May I remind you, sir, that the wars
this country fought, that defined it,
51:07.672 --> 51:10.122
were fought despite what they cost,
not because of it.
51:10.666 --> 51:13.166
I didn't come here for a lesson
in morality, Congressman.
51:13.419 --> 51:14.629
No, I expect you didn't.
51:15.980 --> 51:17.320
Well, especially from you.
51:18.524 --> 51:19.774
The men who work for PointCorp,
51:19.900 --> 51:22.280
the men you dishonor
by calling them mercenaries
51:22.361 --> 51:26.991
are, by and large, retired
American military personnel.
51:29.285 --> 51:30.615
It's a great system, isn't it?
51:31.454 --> 51:32.784
We pay to train these men,
51:33.205 --> 51:34.915
and you get rich by killing them.
51:45.343 --> 51:48.013
PointCorp, well, they're on a roll.
51:48.095 --> 51:50.935
They just bought 60,000 acres
to expand their facility.
51:51.057 --> 51:52.227
- 60,000 acres?
- - Yeah.
51:52.308 --> 51:55.268
- Where?
- In Conway, North Carolina.
51:55.770 --> 51:58.360
The locals call it
"Little Baghdad."
51:58.439 --> 51:59.529
Not so little.
52:00.566 --> 52:03.616
They've also got some
interesting real estate locally.
52:04.236 --> 52:06.026
Offices at the Watergate building.
52:07.114 --> 52:08.324
Check that out.
52:08.616 --> 52:11.246
"Medal of Freedom Initiative."
What's that?
52:11.911 --> 52:13.031
It's a lobbying interest.
52:13.537 --> 52:16.417
Yeah, according to the website,
"MOFI," the Medal of Freedom Initiative,
52:16.574 --> 52:19.834
is an umbrella group for a bunch
of these private defense contractors.
52:20.961 --> 52:24.041
You know, they lobby a little,
party a little, kill things.
52:24.173 --> 52:25.923
MOFI! Whoo!
52:26.592 --> 52:27.712
Hello?
52:28.094 --> 52:30.634
We went down there,
the place is totally empty,
52:30.721 --> 52:33.181
like they're just waiting
for all their new recruits.
52:33.265 --> 52:35.305
Did they outsource to Mumbai
or something?
52:35.559 --> 52:37.939
Or are they just getting ready
for an expansion?
52:39.814 --> 52:40.814
Hello?
52:42.316 --> 52:45.116
This is Della Frye.
I'm a reporter over at the Globe.
52:45.361 --> 52:48.821
You were Sonia Baker's attorney
on her shoplifting case, correct?
52:50.866 --> 52:52.326
Did Dominic give you my number?
52:54.704 --> 52:57.164
Yes, how do you know Dominic?
52:57.748 --> 53:00.338
Well, I'm sorry,
this really isn't appropriate.
53:00.668 --> 53:01.878
I unders--
53:02.086 --> 53:06.386
Hey, Michael, I need someone to help me
dig a little deeper into PointCorp.
53:07.341 --> 53:08.921
I need somebody on the inside,
53:09.009 --> 53:10.429
somebody who knows
the way they operate.
53:14.807 --> 53:17.357
She owed everybody money.
53:17.685 --> 53:20.145
Oh, God, that's how
she always walked around,
53:20.229 --> 53:21.899
in her underwear.
53:22.982 --> 53:24.522
- Yeah!
- You moved. You can't move.
53:24.650 --> 53:25.740
Hi! Hi, yes, yes.
53:25.818 --> 53:28.368
Who is this? He looks familiar.
53:28.612 --> 53:30.862
Dominic Foy. He's a friend of Sonia's.
53:30.990 --> 53:32.000
Dominic.
53:32.366 --> 53:34.576
Hey, Michael, it's Cal.
So what did you find out?
53:38.247 --> 53:40.457
- Hi. Mr. Statler?
- Yes?
53:40.583 --> 53:41.793
Yes, I'm from the Globe.
53:41.876 --> 53:44.376
I'm writing an article
on the death of Sonia Baker,
53:44.462 --> 53:45.672
and I just wanted to--
53:45.892 --> 53:47.832
And he was, like,
high up in PointCorp?
53:48.632 --> 53:50.882
Hi. Della Frye from
the Washington Globe.
53:51.886 --> 53:54.016
I... could I speak to you?
Please don't--
53:54.263 --> 53:56.133
Yes, I'm still holding
'cause that's what I do.
53:56.307 --> 53:57.227
That's what I like to do.
53:59.268 --> 54:01.688
Sonia Baker's ex-roommate,
Rhonda Silver.
54:01.812 --> 54:02.932
Nobody's got her yet.
54:03.105 --> 54:04.945
She changed her name a couple
times in the past year.
54:06.408 --> 54:07.618
How'd you get it?
54:07.868 --> 54:09.668
I had to agree to go on not one,
54:09.787 --> 54:11.707
but two dates with
a sweaty guy named Vic.
54:14.834 --> 54:17.004
Don't even ask me.
54:17.378 --> 54:18.628
Hey, Bob, it's Cal.
54:18.796 --> 54:20.546
Want to run a Social Security
number for me?
54:27.471 --> 54:30.141
Ha. Rhonda Silver's number.
54:31.100 --> 54:32.270
Did we just break the law?
54:32.351 --> 54:34.221
Nope, that's what you call
damn fine reporting.
54:34.603 --> 54:35.723
- Your pen.
- Keep it.
54:37.732 --> 54:39.232
- You're welcome!
- Thank you!
54:41.902 --> 54:43.772
Hi. Is Rhonda there, please?
54:45.030 --> 54:47.330
I'm actually an old friend
of Rhonda's from school.
54:47.450 --> 54:51.330
I'm in town for the day, and I thought
maybe I'd stop by and see her.
54:51.454 --> 54:53.574
Do you think I could
show up at her work?
54:53.664 --> 54:54.874
Would that be all right?
54:57.918 --> 54:59.048
Mm.
55:09.430 --> 55:11.480
Actually, sir, can I--
can I call you back?
55:13.726 --> 55:15.016
That page and the next page.
55:16.061 --> 55:18.641
This guy, Jerry Symes,
local politician,
55:18.898 --> 55:20.528
he campaigns against
the expansion,
55:20.649 --> 55:22.159
and then he dies in
a freak car accident.
55:22.401 --> 55:24.561
All right, what does
"freak car accident" mean?
55:24.737 --> 55:26.657
Middle of the day,
no witnesses.
55:26.739 --> 55:28.289
- ...30 miles an hour
- ...no skid marks.
55:28.407 --> 55:29.407
- ...car turns over.
- Oh.
55:29.575 --> 55:31.955
- And the police think
it might be sleep apnea.
55:32.203 --> 55:35.163
Cal. Sorry,
I really need to talk to you.
55:37.620 --> 55:38.600
What do you got?
55:38.682 --> 55:42.622
So, I was looking for images of Sonia
in the Metro security footage, right?
55:42.963 --> 55:46.093
And 20 seconds after
she went into the blind spot,
55:46.300 --> 55:47.510
this guy appears.
55:48.594 --> 55:49.674
Okay?
55:52.681 --> 55:54.551
I think that I saw him
last night at the hospital.
56:02.449 --> 56:03.539
Are you sure?
56:18.090 --> 56:19.300
Michael, it's Cal.
56:19.883 --> 56:23.463
Your PointCorp insider,
I need to meet him, now.
56:28.350 --> 56:30.060
Nice jumbo crab legs,
fresh shrimp...
56:54.001 --> 56:56.711
I want you to know something.
I love my country.
56:57.254 --> 56:59.924
I love the military.
My aim here is to save them.
57:00.090 --> 57:02.260
You understand my terms?
I will not give you my name.
57:02.342 --> 57:04.842
I will not give you my rank in
the PointCorp military structure
57:04.970 --> 57:06.480
or the in and out
dates of my service.
57:06.638 --> 57:07.728
Understand.
57:09.641 --> 57:11.601
I'm looking for a guy
that PointCorp are using
57:11.685 --> 57:14.315
on a covert operation.
Total deniability.
57:14.480 --> 57:18.200
Our mutual friend at the DOD thought
you might be able to help us find him.
57:20.319 --> 57:22.579
I don't know.
I'll check it out.
57:25.824 --> 57:28.154
So what's your understanding
of the PointCorp M.O.?
57:29.078 --> 57:30.208
Their M.O.?
57:30.471 --> 57:31.801
They do whatever the hell they want.
57:32.664 --> 57:34.414
These soldiers are
answerable to no one.
57:34.541 --> 57:36.451
They're loyal to nothing
but a paycheck.
57:36.969 --> 57:38.979
It's the Muslim terror gold rush.
57:39.755 --> 57:41.795
- You been watching these hearings?
- Yeah.
57:42.049 --> 57:44.469
So the head of the committee there,
Stephen Collins--
57:44.551 --> 57:45.551
He's finished.
57:45.707 --> 57:47.847
They'll just keep knocking him
down until he goes away.
57:48.033 --> 57:50.003
Do you have any idea
what he's threatening here?
57:50.108 --> 57:52.728
This is $30 or $40 billion, annually.
57:53.310 --> 57:54.860
That's wrath of God money.
57:55.020 --> 57:57.280
The hearings are saying 3 or 4.
57:57.356 --> 58:01.906
Overseas. The real money is what PointCorp
stands to make in its domestic operations.
58:02.945 --> 58:04.655
I wasn't aware that they had any.
58:04.905 --> 58:09.035
Who was sent in for crowd control
after Hurricane Katrina? Us.
58:09.535 --> 58:13.625
Private security contractors deputized
to shoot at American citizens.
58:14.149 --> 58:17.129
Who's training Chicago police
on new interrogation techniques?
58:18.127 --> 58:20.417
Soon, PointCorp
will take over from the NSA
58:20.546 --> 58:23.176
on phone taps, terrorist databases,
all of it.
58:24.449 --> 58:28.269
It's a fundamental restructuring
of domestic intelligence policy.
58:29.179 --> 58:31.389
It is the privatization
of Homeland Security.
58:32.015 --> 58:34.265
Billions and billions of dollars.
58:34.985 --> 58:36.945
Now, you really think
they're gonna forfeit all that
58:37.166 --> 58:39.316
because some hero
from the seventh district
58:39.398 --> 58:41.318
of Pennsylvania
thinks that they should?
58:41.567 --> 58:42.447
Hey.
58:44.319 --> 58:47.029
I just got told by a former
PointCorp employee
58:47.364 --> 58:49.824
that they have a plan
to monopolize domestic security
58:49.992 --> 58:52.112
that's worth about
$40 billion a year.
58:52.494 --> 58:53.534
Is that true?
58:53.745 --> 58:55.315
- Yes.
- How?
58:55.506 --> 58:58.126
You cannot connect anything
that I tell you back to me.
58:58.208 --> 58:59.298
- You understand?
- Of course.
58:59.418 --> 59:00.418
Okay.
59:01.503 --> 59:04.543
Last year, 47 companies bid on
major Homeland Security contracts.
59:04.732 --> 59:07.352
Of those, 16 companies
were granted the bids.
59:07.468 --> 59:11.388
Of those, I can make connections
between 14 companies.
59:11.546 --> 59:13.306
And I'm not just talking about
someone leaving one company
59:13.390 --> 59:14.520
and go work for another.
59:14.600 --> 59:16.190
I'm talking about
shared banking practices.
59:16.268 --> 59:18.358
I'm talking about collusive behavior.
59:18.479 --> 59:21.529
Now, my belief is,
when all's said and done,
59:21.607 --> 59:23.197
when the veil is pulled away,
59:23.317 --> 59:26.487
you will not see 14 individual companies.
59:27.237 --> 59:31.117
You will see one company.
You understand?
59:32.534 --> 59:34.994
And you've been digging around,
trying to make those connections clear.
59:35.120 --> 59:36.210
Yeah. That's right.
59:38.040 --> 59:39.340
And Sonia was working on that?
59:40.292 --> 59:43.412
She was my lead researcher.
She was involved in everything we did.
59:44.129 --> 59:46.679
They're gonna get you,
Stephen, one way or another.
59:46.799 --> 59:49.509
They've got 40 billion good reasons
to want you out of the way.
59:50.427 --> 59:51.807
You gotta go on the record.
59:52.012 --> 59:53.422
Swing the spotlight back on them.
59:53.555 --> 59:54.935
You gotta protect yourself, man.
59:57.267 --> 01:00:00.567
You go out there
and find me evidence
01:00:01.438 --> 01:00:04.278
linking Sonia's death
to PointCorp...
01:00:06.068 --> 01:00:07.568
I will go on the record.
01:00:07.653 --> 01:00:10.783
I will shout this thing
from the rooftops.
01:00:11.907 --> 01:00:13.037
I can do that.
01:00:17.329 --> 01:00:21.089
All right. I gotta get back.
I'll be in touch.
01:00:21.250 --> 01:00:23.090
- Stephen.
- Yeah?
01:00:23.669 --> 01:00:24.839
Just watch your back.
01:00:25.921 --> 01:00:27.041
You, too.
01:00:36.348 --> 01:00:39.768
- Hi. Is Rhonda here?
- Yeah, she's just right over there.
01:00:53.115 --> 01:00:54.245
Yeah!
01:00:54.408 --> 01:00:57.328
Cal, you're not gonna believe
what Sonia's old roommate just told me.
01:00:58.787 --> 01:01:00.877
You're right.
I don't believe a word of it.
01:01:01.081 --> 01:01:03.121
You got no corroboration,
no independent witness,
01:01:03.208 --> 01:01:05.208
and she obviously has
a financial motivation.
01:01:05.377 --> 01:01:07.297
We've got Sonia Baker's roommate
01:01:07.379 --> 01:01:09.589
claiming she had a threesome
with Stephen Collins,
01:01:09.673 --> 01:01:10.753
and you want to ignore that?
01:01:10.883 --> 01:01:13.303
I am not saying ignore it.
I am saying consider it.
01:01:13.427 --> 01:01:15.217
Consider how it impacts
everything else we have,
01:01:15.387 --> 01:01:17.307
and consider that
she is full of shit!
01:01:17.431 --> 01:01:19.641
Yeah, but, Cal,
she's also saying
01:01:19.766 --> 01:01:23.106
that Stephen paid off Sonia's
$40,000 credit card debt.
01:01:23.228 --> 01:01:24.358
That is a story.
01:01:24.605 --> 01:01:26.525
Somebody's gonna put that
on the front page.
01:01:26.648 --> 01:01:28.108
Okay, is that the right thing to do?
01:01:29.359 --> 01:01:31.319
Look, it's your half of the story.
01:01:31.695 --> 01:01:33.405
It's your scoop, your decision.
01:01:33.989 --> 01:01:35.239
Do whatever you want.
01:01:44.958 --> 01:01:48.008
But I do know that Stephen and I
01:01:48.170 --> 01:01:50.910
have been through
far too much together
01:01:50.989 --> 01:01:52.289
to make this one moment...
01:02:11.109 --> 01:02:12.359
I tried to call.
01:02:13.528 --> 01:02:15.368
I mean, I actually did call
about 12 times,
01:02:15.447 --> 01:02:16.617
but I hung up every time.
01:02:18.450 --> 01:02:20.660
Well, you know,
I'm glad you dropped by,
01:02:22.329 --> 01:02:23.959
'cause I've been
wanting to talk to you.
01:02:28.543 --> 01:02:30.373
Remember you brought that girl
from Humboldt?
01:02:31.171 --> 01:02:32.751
Soleil,
or whatever her name was.
01:02:32.964 --> 01:02:36.214
- Luna.
- Luna. That's right.
01:02:36.801 --> 01:02:40.241
And you two were stoned
the whole time.
01:02:40.329 --> 01:02:41.429
Yep.
01:02:41.511 --> 01:02:43.261
You managed to flip the boat,
and we lost everything.
01:02:43.350 --> 01:02:44.690
We had to walk
the rest of the way.
01:02:44.809 --> 01:02:46.229
- We flipped the boat?
- You did.
01:02:47.354 --> 01:02:48.644
It was an adventure.
01:02:49.731 --> 01:02:51.021
That's what you kept saying.
01:02:51.650 --> 01:02:52.910
Irish wine.
01:02:53.109 --> 01:02:54.409
Whiskey?
01:02:55.070 --> 01:02:56.870
- Cheers.
- Sláinte.
01:03:03.036 --> 01:03:04.166
- So...
- So...
01:03:06.248 --> 01:03:07.588
- I've been think--
- I wanted to ask--
01:03:08.083 --> 01:03:09.543
- Sorry.
- You first.
01:03:11.878 --> 01:03:13.088
I was wondering...
01:03:16.383 --> 01:03:18.803
do you think Stephen could have
pulled together $40,000
01:03:18.885 --> 01:03:19.925
without you knowing?
01:03:20.929 --> 01:03:22.019
What?
01:03:22.347 --> 01:03:23.597
Well, it's a story that might break
01:03:23.723 --> 01:03:26.183
that basically accuses Stephen
of doing something
01:03:26.268 --> 01:03:30.728
that would require his having access
to a large amount of cash.
01:03:30.855 --> 01:03:32.945
I was just wondering,
could he do that?
01:03:33.441 --> 01:03:34.521
A story that might break?
01:03:34.609 --> 01:03:36.699
You mean something
that you're involved in?
01:03:36.778 --> 01:03:38.278
- Indirectly.
- What are you doing?
01:03:38.613 --> 01:03:40.653
I'm trying to help Stephen.
I'm trying to protect you.
01:03:41.908 --> 01:03:43.498
Bullshit!
01:03:45.578 --> 01:03:46.998
You always do this.
01:03:49.416 --> 01:03:52.456
Sometimes I feel like
we all made this deal,
01:03:52.711 --> 01:03:55.501
and it works out great for you
and Stephen and not for me.
01:03:56.840 --> 01:03:58.260
And instead of us just figuring it out,
01:03:58.341 --> 01:04:01.381
you guys are just fine walking around
as if nothing ever happened.
01:04:08.184 --> 01:04:09.264
Okay.
01:04:13.064 --> 01:04:14.184
Okay, let's start over.
01:04:15.191 --> 01:04:17.851
I come here to tell you that I'm thinking
about walking away from my marriage,
01:04:17.944 --> 01:04:19.404
and you say what?
01:04:20.655 --> 01:04:23.905
I say it's too late.
We're way past this.
01:04:24.993 --> 01:04:26.203
You made your choice.
01:04:26.786 --> 01:04:30.376
Because you wouldn't step up.
What do you mean?
01:04:31.374 --> 01:04:33.664
Not then, not now,
not in college.
01:04:35.837 --> 01:04:39.087
I'm saying that you're asking me
for something that's not real.
01:04:40.383 --> 01:04:41.633
That's what I'm saying.
01:04:44.846 --> 01:04:45.926
Annie...
01:04:58.837 --> 01:05:00.997
We have two mortgages.
01:05:01.162 --> 01:05:04.992
We have the place in Virginia.
We've got the apartment here.
01:05:05.658 --> 01:05:07.078
Basically, we spend
everything we make,
01:05:07.202 --> 01:05:10.282
so there's no way Stephen could
have given anyone $40,000
01:05:10.914 --> 01:05:12.284
without me knowing about it.
01:05:15.460 --> 01:05:17.260
- Annie...
- It's okay.
01:05:20.256 --> 01:05:24.676
Now I'm just a source,
so the pressure's off.
01:05:48.493 --> 01:05:49.663
Ow.
01:05:57.502 --> 01:05:58.462
Hello?
01:05:58.553 --> 01:06:00.343
Who's the great-looking blonde, Cal?
01:06:01.297 --> 01:06:03.637
- Who's this?
- Across the street.
01:06:19.023 --> 01:06:20.313
I like your style, man.
01:06:22.277 --> 01:06:23.317
I got something for you.
01:06:23.528 --> 01:06:24.988
And you couldn't
just ring the doorbell?
01:06:26.114 --> 01:06:27.364
Precautions.
01:06:28.324 --> 01:06:29.944
The guy in the photo,
I asked around...
01:06:30.034 --> 01:06:31.284
he's definitely a grunt.
01:06:32.287 --> 01:06:34.957
Buddy of mine used to see him
at security trade shows.
01:06:35.790 --> 01:06:37.000
Never knew his name,
01:06:37.584 --> 01:06:39.914
but he worked for an old-timer
called Fred Summers.
01:06:40.670 --> 01:06:43.010
Does alarm installations,
shit like that.
01:06:43.756 --> 01:06:44.966
Here's Fred's address.
01:06:46.384 --> 01:06:47.464
Crystal City.
01:06:52.307 --> 01:06:53.477
Thanks.
01:08:22.814 --> 01:08:24.734
Mr. Summers?
01:08:33.992 --> 01:08:34.952
Hey.
01:08:35.368 --> 01:08:36.618
Who you looking for?
01:08:38.204 --> 01:08:40.584
Fred. Fred Summers.
Do you know him?
01:08:41.082 --> 01:08:43.372
- Fred's not here.
- Oh, yeah? Uh-huh.
01:08:43.668 --> 01:08:46.298
Oh, do you live here?
You're his roommate. Sorry. Okay.
01:08:47.797 --> 01:08:50.347
- Do you know where he might be?
- He's overseas. He shipped out last week.
01:08:50.466 --> 01:08:51.556
Overseas like...
01:08:52.176 --> 01:08:53.716
Look, I don't really know
what Fred's into, okay?
01:08:53.845 --> 01:08:55.345
He ships out,
and he comes back.
01:08:55.722 --> 01:08:57.722
Okay. Could you pass a message?
01:08:59.316 --> 01:09:00.446
Take it easy.
01:09:01.853 --> 01:09:03.103
All right. Okay.
01:09:18.745 --> 01:09:20.375
Hey, Joey? Cal McAffrey.
01:09:20.830 --> 01:09:21.960
Yeah, yeah, shut up.
Listen! Listen!
01:09:22.123 --> 01:09:24.703
Tell Bill he's gotta
send some cops to 566...
01:13:17.441 --> 01:13:18.561
Ow.
01:13:22.864 --> 01:13:24.484
- So?
- - No sign of the guy.
01:13:24.657 --> 01:13:25.907
Did you get a name?
01:13:26.909 --> 01:13:28.369
How about the apartment?
You find something?
01:13:30.162 --> 01:13:31.162
Nothing?
01:13:31.581 --> 01:13:33.741
Place belongs to a guy
named Fred Summers,
01:13:33.833 --> 01:13:36.413
except Fred passed away
last March.
01:13:37.211 --> 01:13:39.921
Neighbors say that his nephew
stays there from time to time
01:13:40.047 --> 01:13:41.757
while the probate
is being worked out.
01:13:42.133 --> 01:13:43.383
Except he doesn't have a nephew.
01:13:43.801 --> 01:13:45.011
You're catching on fast.
01:13:46.762 --> 01:13:48.472
Cal, I thought we had
an understanding.
01:13:49.640 --> 01:13:51.440
You were supposed to share
your information with us.
01:13:51.517 --> 01:13:52.517
Do you remember that?
01:13:52.643 --> 01:13:55.523
Don, I went there to talk to a guy
01:13:55.980 --> 01:13:58.740
named Fred Summers, right,
who I now find out is deceased.
01:13:58.816 --> 01:14:00.276
Do you think I would have gone there
01:14:00.359 --> 01:14:02.159
if I knew what I was
gonna be walking into?
01:14:02.486 --> 01:14:04.526
- Just happened to be there, huh?
- Yeah.
01:14:05.406 --> 01:14:07.036
Now, do you mind if I get back
on with my story?
01:14:07.116 --> 01:14:08.616
It's not a story. It's a case!
01:14:09.702 --> 01:14:11.322
And--
and just so you know,
01:14:11.787 --> 01:14:16.417
girl by the name of Mandi Brokaw,
16, junkie, turned up dead tonight.
01:14:17.376 --> 01:14:18.546
Probable homicide.
01:14:20.588 --> 01:14:21.758
She look familiar?
01:14:22.757 --> 01:14:26.137
We got her fingerprints off of those
surveillance photos you so kindly gave us.
01:14:31.307 --> 01:14:34.187
Hello, I'm Rhonda Silver.
01:14:34.936 --> 01:14:36.016
It began like--
01:14:36.270 --> 01:14:38.150
like I said,
that's what he called...
01:14:38.648 --> 01:14:39.898
"being in committee".
01:14:42.193 --> 01:14:43.693
I know you got shot at last night,
01:14:43.778 --> 01:14:45.778
and I know I should be making
you a nice cup of cocoa,
01:14:45.947 --> 01:14:48.237
but I'm just so bloody angry!
01:14:48.407 --> 01:14:50.537
I mean, the decision,
I'm assuming,
01:14:50.660 --> 01:14:52.040
was that this was not news.
01:14:52.870 --> 01:14:55.130
We-- Look, we didn't--
we were worried that--
01:14:55.206 --> 01:14:57.626
It was my call, Cam.
All right?
01:14:57.750 --> 01:14:59.880
I didn't, and I don't, believe her.
01:15:00.503 --> 01:15:01.793
She's not credible.
01:15:02.421 --> 01:15:04.671
She was just trying to sell us
her sexy scrapbook photos
01:15:04.757 --> 01:15:05.967
of her friend, Sonia Baker.
01:15:06.300 --> 01:15:07.430
Her dead friend.
01:15:07.593 --> 01:15:09.673
Yeah, well, why the hell
couldn't we have printed that?
01:15:10.054 --> 01:15:12.804
A waitress comes forward
with a claim about a sex scandal.
01:15:13.015 --> 01:15:14.435
Great, that's an A-1 story.
01:15:14.517 --> 01:15:15.977
Then he denies it.
There's another story.
01:15:16.143 --> 01:15:18.773
And then one of them cracks,
and there's another story.
01:15:18.896 --> 01:15:20.436
Meantime, people are reading about it,
01:15:20.564 --> 01:15:23.524
and they're reading us about it,
because we had it first!
01:15:23.693 --> 01:15:25.403
Except we didn't, did we?
Oh, no, no, no,
01:15:25.528 --> 01:15:27.578
'cause some wanker
decided it was beneath us.
01:15:27.738 --> 01:15:29.518
Look at her, come on!
Look at her!
01:15:29.782 --> 01:15:32.242
She's a sideshow!
It's a smear campaign.
01:15:32.493 --> 01:15:35.823
It's exactly what these companies do
to destroy people who get in their way.
01:15:36.038 --> 01:15:39.588
The true story here,
the real story here is PointCorp.
01:15:40.626 --> 01:15:44.836
The real story is the sinking
of this bloody newspaper!
01:15:46.298 --> 01:15:47.468
Christ!
01:15:52.555 --> 01:15:54.975
We have new management
to answer to now, Cal,
01:15:55.057 --> 01:15:58.397
and they are interested in sales,
not discretion.
01:15:58.519 --> 01:15:59.859
I mean, how am I gonna tell them
01:15:59.979 --> 01:16:02.359
that we are now behind a story
we were once in front of?
01:16:04.859 --> 01:16:07.909
Well, we're running with
what we've got today.
01:16:08.112 --> 01:16:09.772
No! No.
01:16:11.824 --> 01:16:13.364
- You can't do that.
- Why not?
01:16:13.451 --> 01:16:14.781
We've got more than enough to go with.
01:16:15.077 --> 01:16:17.707
You run with it, and you're gonna
frighten off the wildlife.
01:16:17.788 --> 01:16:19.248
And we haven't got the rest of the story.
01:16:19.331 --> 01:16:22.581
I do not give a shit
about the rest of the story!
01:16:23.627 --> 01:16:27.227
We are going to press tonight.
01:16:27.882 --> 01:16:29.042
You've got eight hours.
01:16:32.386 --> 01:16:34.176
You look tired.
Want some coffee?
01:16:34.346 --> 01:16:35.726
Yeah, that's nice.
01:16:38.517 --> 01:16:39.807
Can you hold on for one second?
01:16:41.145 --> 01:16:43.315
George, a word with you for a minute?
01:16:43.481 --> 01:16:44.641
- Sure, Steve.
- Thanks.
01:16:45.316 --> 01:16:47.776
Uh, listen,
I just want you to know
01:16:47.902 --> 01:16:49.112
my speaking up in the hearings
the other day
01:16:49.195 --> 01:16:53.995
was not meant in any way
as a gesture of disrespect to you
01:16:54.575 --> 01:16:58.415
or a lack of gratitude for the
support that you've shown me.
01:16:58.579 --> 01:16:59.789
No, no. Not at all.
01:16:59.872 --> 01:17:01.332
It was a very
impressive performance.
01:17:01.832 --> 01:17:03.662
You have your passions,
I understand that.
01:17:04.043 --> 01:17:06.873
All right, good.
Well, that's a relief to know.
01:17:07.004 --> 01:17:09.584
You have your show horses,
and you have your work horses.
01:17:09.715 --> 01:17:11.755
I'm sure we can all
find a way to get along.
01:17:20.768 --> 01:17:21.858
There's no way.
01:17:22.103 --> 01:17:24.273
There is no way
we can meet that deadline.
01:17:24.438 --> 01:17:26.398
Yes, we can.
All right, guys,
01:17:26.482 --> 01:17:28.062
we're getting our balls busted--
what do you got?
01:17:28.150 --> 01:17:29.450
All right,
the guy you had us check out,
01:17:29.566 --> 01:17:31.156
Dominic Foy,
turns out he's a gold mine.
01:17:31.695 --> 01:17:32.695
- Dominic?
- Foy.
01:17:32.822 --> 01:17:35.322
- Right.
- He's a guy I keep hearing about.
01:17:36.158 --> 01:17:37.748
A friend of Sonia's
in all the surveillance photos
01:17:37.868 --> 01:17:38.828
where she's crying.
01:17:38.911 --> 01:17:41.071
And he's in Rhonda's
cell phone shots.
01:17:41.205 --> 01:17:43.245
Mm-hmm.
Okay, so, is this Halloween,
01:17:43.374 --> 01:17:45.084
- or is he some kind of freak?
- - Freak.
01:17:45.292 --> 01:17:46.702
He runs a legitimate
PR business.
01:17:46.836 --> 01:17:49.466
Handful of corporate clients.
He just likes to party on the weekends.
01:17:49.755 --> 01:17:50.965
Special parties.
01:17:51.674 --> 01:17:53.004
- Tell him the good part.
- - Oh, yeah.
01:17:53.134 --> 01:17:54.634
Mostly works out of the Daily Grill,
01:17:54.760 --> 01:17:56.270
but guess where his
registered office is?
01:17:56.387 --> 01:17:57.347
- Where?
- Guess.
01:17:58.097 --> 01:18:00.057
- Where?
- - The Watergate.
01:18:00.891 --> 01:18:03.351
- Oh.
- - Not only that, Suite 413.
01:18:03.561 --> 01:18:06.521
Same suite as the Medal
of Freedom Initiative, which is...
01:18:07.189 --> 01:18:09.029
The lobbying
subsidiary of PointCorp.
01:18:17.032 --> 01:18:17.992
Let's get him on tape.
01:18:18.659 --> 01:18:20.179
You want me to call Rodney
and get the gear?
01:18:20.325 --> 01:18:23.125
- Yeah, same place.
- What... I'm sorry.
01:18:23.289 --> 01:18:24.499
You want to put him on tape?
01:18:24.999 --> 01:18:25.999
Yeah.
01:18:27.334 --> 01:18:31.504
What, are we cops now?
That's totally illegal.
01:18:31.630 --> 01:18:34.640
If Dominic Foy can connect
Sonia Baker to PointCorp,
01:18:35.342 --> 01:18:36.502
he's gonna be
under a lot of pressure
01:18:36.594 --> 01:18:38.594
to recant anything he might
tell us, all right?
01:18:38.721 --> 01:18:40.431
So we put him on tape.
That's our insurance.
01:18:40.681 --> 01:18:42.681
And why do you think
he's even gonna talk to you?
01:18:42.850 --> 01:18:45.480
- Because he's scared.
- - How do you know?
01:18:46.395 --> 01:18:47.775
Because I'm gonna scare him.
01:19:21.305 --> 01:19:23.515
Hey, is that your Cadillac
out there?
01:19:26.101 --> 01:19:27.061
Yes.
01:19:27.519 --> 01:19:29.819
V8 XLR, 320 horsepower.
01:19:29.897 --> 01:19:31.817
Adaptive cruise control,
heads-up display?
01:19:31.899 --> 01:19:34.109
- That's the one.
- That's a hell of an impressive car.
01:19:34.360 --> 01:19:35.530
Yes, I know.
01:19:37.154 --> 01:19:40.654
What do you-- what do you got
in your gay rage?
01:19:41.408 --> 01:19:42.448
Excuse me?
01:19:42.534 --> 01:19:44.534
Your gay-rage. Your garage.
01:19:44.745 --> 01:19:46.415
- Oh, right.
- You drive the same thing?
01:19:46.497 --> 01:19:49.747
No, I don't.
I have a 1990 Saab.
01:19:50.125 --> 01:19:51.705
- Oh.
- Yeah. I got velour seats.
01:19:51.835 --> 01:19:56.715
The passenger side one's ripped,
but it gets me from A to B, you know.
01:19:56.840 --> 01:19:57.850
Sorry to hear that.
01:19:58.384 --> 01:20:00.174
If only I could get a job in PR, right?
01:20:04.890 --> 01:20:06.020
Who the hell are you?
01:20:06.767 --> 01:20:08.227
Do you read the newspapers,
Dominic?
01:20:08.894 --> 01:20:10.274
- Sometimes.
- Okay.
01:20:10.604 --> 01:20:12.604
I got something I want
to run by you, all right?
01:20:12.731 --> 01:20:14.441
It ain't finished.
I'm still working it up.
01:20:15.109 --> 01:20:16.489
See how you feel about this.
01:20:18.112 --> 01:20:20.612
"Dominic Foy,
a DC public relations figure
01:20:20.739 --> 01:20:23.579
with known ties to defense
contractor PointCorp,
01:20:23.659 --> 01:20:25.829
was yesterday linked to the death
01:20:25.911 --> 01:20:27.871
of Capitol Hill staffer, Sonia Baker."
01:20:27.955 --> 01:20:29.455
Oh, come on.
What are you, a reporter?
01:20:29.581 --> 01:20:32.201
This is not cool.
This is definitely not cool.
01:20:32.293 --> 01:20:33.873
Very unprofessional.
I'm just sitting here...
01:20:34.003 --> 01:20:36.923
- Cal McAffrey from the Globe.
- Congratulations. Keep it.
01:20:37.047 --> 01:20:40.637
That's gonna run tomorrow unless
you can tell me what I need to know today.
01:20:40.718 --> 01:20:42.348
- I don't think so.
- I got a car out the back.
01:20:42.511 --> 01:20:44.551
I got a nice, safe place
where you and I can talk.
01:20:44.680 --> 01:20:47.560
Hey, hey, Saab. I don't know
anything about anything.
01:20:47.641 --> 01:20:50.181
All right? I'm a PR guy. Got it?
01:20:50.311 --> 01:20:54.021
Be that as it may, there's two ways
this article can run, Dominic...
01:20:54.440 --> 01:20:57.030
without your name
or with your name.
01:20:57.609 --> 01:20:59.619
And maybe even
a photo from your website.
01:21:00.195 --> 01:21:02.655
Now, who knows who that's gonna
piss off and how badly?
01:21:03.782 --> 01:21:05.862
I'm trying to be your friend,
Dominic, all right?
01:21:06.118 --> 01:21:08.538
I'd hate to see you end up
under a train like Sonia Baker.
01:21:11.206 --> 01:21:13.166
And you promised never
to use my name, right?
01:21:13.751 --> 01:21:14.791
Yes, I did.
01:21:15.169 --> 01:21:16.669
This place is nice?
It's classy?
01:21:16.754 --> 01:21:18.334
- I'm gonna be comfortable?
- Uh-huh.
01:21:38.067 --> 01:21:40.737
What kind of dump is this?
Where have you brought me?
01:21:41.737 --> 01:21:45.737
No booze in the mini-bar.
There's no On Demand on the TV.
01:21:45.824 --> 01:21:47.154
What kind of hotel is this?
01:21:47.284 --> 01:21:48.994
Little bit more of a motel,
I'd say, isn't it?
01:21:49.078 --> 01:21:50.668
Nobody's gonna find
you here, Dominic.
01:21:50.996 --> 01:21:53.036
How are your beer-getting
skills, sweet pea?
01:21:53.165 --> 01:21:54.745
You want to go get
Uncle Foy a nice frosty?
01:21:55.542 --> 01:21:56.952
- I'll time you.
- - Christ.
01:21:57.294 --> 01:22:00.424
So let's start from the beginning.
Where did you meet Sonia Baker?
01:22:02.424 --> 01:22:04.304
Why don't we start
with a little compensation?
01:22:04.426 --> 01:22:06.766
This guy's stoned off his face,
and now he wants a beer?
01:22:07.554 --> 01:22:09.094
- Can I have one?
- Yeah.
01:22:09.431 --> 01:22:10.801
What's he taken exactly?
01:22:11.392 --> 01:22:14.182
Oh, dude, downers.
This guy's losing his shit.
01:22:15.396 --> 01:22:18.436
For what? For what?
Me helping you out.
01:22:18.565 --> 01:22:20.735
Me losing my business.
Me--
01:22:20.943 --> 01:22:24.523
This bed's disgusting.
Compensate me, okay?
01:22:24.988 --> 01:22:28.828
Okay, so you want to be paid
to help solve Sonia's murder?
01:22:29.034 --> 01:22:30.994
Save it, all right? I'm in PR.
01:22:31.078 --> 01:22:32.328
I know a little bit
about phrasing questions.
01:22:32.413 --> 01:22:33.743
Why don't you try
phrasing it like this?
01:22:33.872 --> 01:22:36.492
Would I like to be paid
for helping you get a book deal?
01:22:37.084 --> 01:22:38.294
Nobody's here for a book deal.
01:22:38.460 --> 01:22:39.970
Really? Everybody wants a book deal.
01:22:40.087 --> 01:22:42.337
And I'd like my cut, okay?
That's just fair.
01:22:42.464 --> 01:22:45.594
- When did you meet Sonia?
- Compensation, compensation.
01:22:45.759 --> 01:22:47.139
You came here to talk, Dominic.
01:22:47.302 --> 01:22:50.552
You know, mouse, I'm the talent,
and I don't like the vibe.
01:22:50.681 --> 01:22:52.511
So why don't you
change that up, okay?
01:22:52.599 --> 01:22:55.359
- It's a nonsmoking room.
- It's under your name.
01:22:56.311 --> 01:22:57.971
- He's a douche.
- I love this guy.
01:22:58.188 --> 01:22:59.488
I want to call my lawyer.
01:23:00.023 --> 01:23:01.443
I think you should think that through.
01:23:01.775 --> 01:23:03.565
Can we get a signal in this rat hole?
01:23:03.986 --> 01:23:06.406
Why don't you
think it through? Hmm?
01:23:06.572 --> 01:23:09.282
Dominic, let me just lay this
out for you one more time,
01:23:09.408 --> 01:23:10.578
because I don't think you're getting it!
01:23:10.701 --> 01:23:12.321
- So I'll lay it out for you!
- Relax.
01:23:12.453 --> 01:23:14.413
I'll lay it out for you nice and clear!
01:23:14.746 --> 01:23:17.996
The newspaper can slant this
any which way they want to,
01:23:18.125 --> 01:23:21.165
and they can make you the one
and only principal source.
01:23:21.295 --> 01:23:22.585
How do you think
that's gonna go down
01:23:22.671 --> 01:23:24.331
- with your friends at PointCorp?
- Not great.
01:23:24.423 --> 01:23:25.633
And anybody else
you're connected to?
01:23:25.757 --> 01:23:27.597
Don't do that.
Please don't do that.
01:23:33.682 --> 01:23:37.642
The more you talk,
the more you give us,
01:23:39.354 --> 01:23:40.734
the more protected you are.
01:23:41.064 --> 01:23:42.444
That's the way we work.
01:23:44.776 --> 01:23:47.616
And your compensation
is your anonymity,
01:23:48.447 --> 01:23:49.987
and that is all you're gonna get from us.
01:23:57.998 --> 01:23:59.378
- Okay?
- Yeah.
01:24:00.709 --> 01:24:02.129
Great.
01:24:02.377 --> 01:24:03.467
Okay, how's it going in here?
01:24:03.587 --> 01:24:05.177
- Sounds frigging great.
- - We're just about ready.
01:24:05.797 --> 01:24:07.257
- Let's do it.
- Great. Good.
01:24:07.382 --> 01:24:08.342
Come on.
01:24:08.509 --> 01:24:10.139
I'm not gonna do it.
I'm gonna open the door,
01:24:10.260 --> 01:24:12.390
and I'm gonna let you say it.
You have to talk to her.
01:24:12.554 --> 01:24:14.134
Cal is asking us to push the deadline.
01:24:14.264 --> 01:24:15.764
We really can't afford to keep doing
this type of thing
01:24:15.849 --> 01:24:17.309
- Where the hell are they?
- Wait.
01:24:17.518 --> 01:24:19.728
- You saying that as if I should know?
- Yeah, well, you just spoke to him.
01:24:19.895 --> 01:24:21.645
Yeah, well, they didn't tell me
where they were.
01:24:21.772 --> 01:24:23.682
- $20,000 an hour.
- Yeah... all right!
01:24:24.274 --> 01:24:25.354
Bugger off!
01:24:32.199 --> 01:24:33.199
Shit.
01:24:36.511 --> 01:24:41.081
It was just this guy, okay, that I knew
from the clubs, all right?
01:24:41.166 --> 01:24:43.046
And he worked for a PR firm,
a very big one.
01:24:43.168 --> 01:24:44.088
- Name?
- And he--
01:24:44.169 --> 01:24:45.509
No, I'm not gonna
give you his name.
01:24:45.587 --> 01:24:47.677
He was a friend, okay?
He had this, uh...
01:24:48.298 --> 01:24:50.098
He had this...
Well, the company that he worked for
01:24:50.217 --> 01:24:51.807
had a client, a very special client.
01:24:51.885 --> 01:24:54.515
- Name?
- I'll give you that one.
01:24:54.596 --> 01:24:55.806
PointCorp.
01:24:55.931 --> 01:24:58.341
And they wanted
a special employee.
01:24:59.393 --> 01:25:00.603
They needed a girl.
01:25:02.604 --> 01:25:04.484
I thought of Sonia.
01:25:09.027 --> 01:25:10.117
You got that?
01:25:12.906 --> 01:25:15.156
I'm sorry, are you saying that Sonia
was working for PointCorp?
01:25:16.285 --> 01:25:17.745
Like a steel trap, this one.
01:25:18.203 --> 01:25:19.743
Don't lose her to another paper.
01:25:19.913 --> 01:25:21.203
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
01:25:21.373 --> 01:25:22.453
Turn it up, turn it up.
01:25:23.125 --> 01:25:25.715
She was a perfect fit.
She had balls. She was smart.
01:25:25.836 --> 01:25:26.966
She was in debt.
01:25:27.087 --> 01:25:30.887
And she was in debt, exactly. Yeah.
They paid her $26,000 a month.
01:25:31.091 --> 01:25:32.251
Whole hell of a lot
more than they gave me.
01:25:32.426 --> 01:25:33.676
- They paid me a flat 20.
- That's big.
01:25:33.760 --> 01:25:35.100
They tell you what the job was?
01:25:35.345 --> 01:25:37.305
No, they did not.
She told me what it was, though.
01:25:37.472 --> 01:25:39.762
She told me about Collins.
She told me about spying on him.
01:25:40.267 --> 01:25:42.437
And did they want Sonia
to sleep with Collins?
01:25:43.186 --> 01:25:47.696
No, she got on her back all by herself
and screwed everything up, didn't she?
01:25:48.317 --> 01:25:50.157
How did they get her onto Collins' staff?
01:25:50.402 --> 01:25:52.562
That I'm not gonna tell you.
You can forget it.
01:25:52.654 --> 01:25:55.534
You can kidnap and torture
someone else for that toughie.
01:25:55.657 --> 01:25:56.997
- We have a deal.
- Yeah.
01:25:57.117 --> 01:25:58.787
- I've done my work.
- Nobody's here to screw you,
01:25:59.077 --> 01:26:02.667
but we need to know who was
working this on the Hill.
01:26:02.831 --> 01:26:04.041
Mm-hmm.
01:26:04.916 --> 01:26:08.216
From the Hill, huh? Well, from the Hill
they found a guy to fix it.
01:26:08.378 --> 01:26:09.588
- Name?
- No.
01:26:09.921 --> 01:26:11.211
- Who?
- Leave it.
01:26:11.340 --> 01:26:12.510
- Who?
- Come on.
01:26:12.591 --> 01:26:14.251
What, are you not hearing me?
01:26:14.384 --> 01:26:19.094
Forget it. I'd be afraid to start that
sweet-ass Caddy every morning.
01:26:20.015 --> 01:26:23.515
I mean, keep in mind, if I was driving
that wheelbarrow Saab of yours,
01:26:23.644 --> 01:26:25.604
I'd probably blow it up myself,
with me in it.
01:26:26.730 --> 01:26:30.320
You seen that thing?
It's like a lawn mower.
01:26:30.442 --> 01:26:32.022
I'm gonna get you another beer.
01:26:33.362 --> 01:26:36.232
Hey. Oi.
01:26:36.698 --> 01:26:38.198
Are you sleeping with that guy?
01:26:40.744 --> 01:26:42.374
I mean,
what are you doing here?
01:26:42.788 --> 01:26:44.628
Are you sleeping with him?
Hmm?
01:26:44.790 --> 01:26:47.130
Or you got a guy.
You got a guy, right?
01:26:47.751 --> 01:26:48.791
Donna?
01:26:49.711 --> 01:26:51.371
- Della.
- - Della.
01:26:52.172 --> 01:26:54.752
I got a guy. Got a girl, too.
01:26:56.301 --> 01:26:57.921
Right? I don't want
to leave anybody out.
01:26:58.011 --> 01:26:59.921
Hey, Stephen.
How did you find Sonia?
01:27:00.488 --> 01:27:01.618
What?
01:27:01.723 --> 01:27:03.183
How did she come
to work in your office?
01:27:03.308 --> 01:27:04.808
Was somebody--
did somebody recommend her?
01:27:04.935 --> 01:27:06.105
What are you talking about?
01:27:06.478 --> 01:27:08.568
- I think you've been played.
- Really?
01:27:08.980 --> 01:27:10.110
Who gave you her name?
01:27:10.524 --> 01:27:11.564
What is this about?
01:27:11.650 --> 01:27:13.360
Don't dick around about this,
Stephen, all right?
01:27:13.485 --> 01:27:15.695
Two questions. How the hell did she
come to work in your office,
01:27:15.904 --> 01:27:18.404
and the name of the individual
who recommended her.
01:27:21.243 --> 01:27:25.243
Fergus. George Fergus.
01:27:26.231 --> 01:27:28.561
Said she was the daughter
of an old family friend.
01:27:32.087 --> 01:27:33.547
Doug Sponder's bachelor party.
01:27:33.714 --> 01:27:35.254
You remember that hotel,
the Americana?
01:27:36.133 --> 01:27:37.213
Yes.
01:27:37.467 --> 01:27:39.807
Get here now, alone.
01:27:39.928 --> 01:27:41.558
I'm in Room 408.
01:27:46.393 --> 01:27:48.723
- I'll meet you at the office.
- Stephen, we're late already.
01:27:48.895 --> 01:27:51.605
- I'll call in.
- Stephen, we are late already.
01:27:51.690 --> 01:27:52.780
- I'll call in.
- Okay.
01:28:02.242 --> 01:28:04.032
Don't check your voicemail.
01:28:04.119 --> 01:28:06.169
Cameron's going on a rampage
about this deadline.
01:28:07.456 --> 01:28:09.036
So did you cue it where I asked?
01:28:09.207 --> 01:28:10.707
- Close enough.
- Okay.
01:28:10.792 --> 01:28:12.462
So, guys, I'm gonna need you
to clear the room.
01:28:13.754 --> 01:28:15.504
- That means you, too.
- - What?
01:28:18.675 --> 01:28:20.135
I've got Stephen Collins
coming in here.
01:28:20.469 --> 01:28:21.809
It's gonna be a lot
more comfortable for him
01:28:21.928 --> 01:28:23.518
if you're not here, all right?
01:28:24.806 --> 01:28:25.936
Oh, tell me you're kidding.
01:28:28.059 --> 01:28:30.979
Since when does the subject
of an investigation
01:28:31.062 --> 01:28:33.642
get his own private preview of
another subject's interview?
01:28:33.732 --> 01:28:34.732
That's crazy!
01:28:35.025 --> 01:28:36.525
You're polluting the story!
01:28:37.402 --> 01:28:40.072
- Special circumstance.
- What? What?
01:28:40.655 --> 01:28:43.285
Is it that he's a congressman
or that he's your friend
01:28:43.366 --> 01:28:45.406
or that you have
a crush on his wife?
01:28:45.577 --> 01:28:46.787
Could you fill me in here?
01:28:47.954 --> 01:28:49.334
All of the above.
01:28:49.498 --> 01:28:51.338
Oh, my God--
you're such a hypocrite!
01:28:51.792 --> 01:28:54.452
This is my story, too,
and you are about to kill it forever
01:28:54.544 --> 01:28:55.964
by letting him come in here.
01:28:59.415 --> 01:29:00.625
I'm gonna bring him in.
01:29:01.343 --> 01:29:03.093
I'm gonna sit him down,
show him this.
01:29:03.428 --> 01:29:04.848
I'm gonna get him on the record,
01:29:05.013 --> 01:29:06.973
then we've got both sides of the story.
01:29:12.903 --> 01:29:14.023
Hey.
01:29:14.481 --> 01:29:16.641
Stephen Collins, Della Frye.
01:29:17.150 --> 01:29:18.280
Congressman.
01:29:19.727 --> 01:29:21.227
You know this guy?
01:29:21.529 --> 01:29:22.739
No.
01:29:22.847 --> 01:29:24.137
You don't recognize him at all?
01:29:25.700 --> 01:29:28.040
I don't know. Maybe.
Is this in here?
01:29:28.161 --> 01:29:30.121
No, no, it's next door.
He's sleeping it off.
01:29:31.839 --> 01:29:33.329
Sit down.
01:29:34.167 --> 01:29:35.337
Okay.
01:29:38.922 --> 01:29:41.922
PointCorp wanted to plant
someone on your staff.
01:29:43.051 --> 01:29:46.091
This guy, Dominic Foy,
he finds Sonia.
01:29:46.596 --> 01:29:49.266
He takes a fee.
George Fergus does the rest.
01:29:50.392 --> 01:29:52.762
- No. That's not possible.
- They paid off her debt,
01:29:52.978 --> 01:29:55.028
and they paid her monthly
to report back
01:29:55.188 --> 01:29:57.068
every single thing
that you were doing.
01:29:57.691 --> 01:30:00.981
And when she went dry,
they killed her for it.
01:30:03.071 --> 01:30:04.281
How do you know this?
01:30:07.951 --> 01:30:10.451
And so I get a call,
I gotta go down to a street corner.
01:30:10.579 --> 01:30:12.999
I gotta buy a magazine.
I gotta meet some new guy.
01:30:13.081 --> 01:30:14.291
This guy, you know,
01:30:14.416 --> 01:30:16.416
he's some hardcore,
thick-neck, corn-fed,
01:30:16.501 --> 01:30:18.251
Navy SEAL-looking guy,
you know?
01:30:18.378 --> 01:30:21.178
And he's all up in my face,
scaring the hell out of me
01:30:21.256 --> 01:30:22.426
because he's pissed off and...
01:30:22.674 --> 01:30:24.674
- When was this?
- - This was like a month ago.
01:30:24.759 --> 01:30:26.309
You know,
he's pissed off because
01:30:26.386 --> 01:30:28.266
Sonia's not giving
him anything anymore.
01:30:28.346 --> 01:30:29.596
And what did he want you
to do about it?
01:30:29.806 --> 01:30:32.556
He wants me to fix it
like one of my hair dryers.
01:30:32.684 --> 01:30:33.804
And did you?
01:30:34.185 --> 01:30:35.265
I tried.
01:30:36.605 --> 01:30:38.605
I tried. I called.
She wouldn't take my call.
01:30:38.732 --> 01:30:40.232
I go over there.
I try to talk to her.
01:30:41.026 --> 01:30:43.196
- She's crying.
- - Why is she crying?
01:30:43.320 --> 01:30:44.780
She's scared somebody's after her?
01:30:44.863 --> 01:30:47.483
No, she's crying because of Collins.
01:30:47.616 --> 01:30:51.036
She was in love with him,
and she was pregnant...
01:30:56.124 --> 01:30:57.664
And she didn't tell him.
01:31:00.295 --> 01:31:02.545
She didn't tell him,
and, you know,
01:31:02.631 --> 01:31:05.251
she was petrified that he was
gonna find out what she did,
01:31:05.342 --> 01:31:08.262
and that he's not gonna want her,
and he's not gonna want the baby and--
01:31:08.678 --> 01:31:11.638
she got so wrecked about it
that she burned
01:31:11.723 --> 01:31:13.263
thousands of dollars' worth
of paychecks.
01:31:13.350 --> 01:31:14.520
Who does that?
01:31:14.684 --> 01:31:16.974
I tried to get her to just relax,
01:31:17.145 --> 01:31:19.525
to think about the publicity
01:31:19.606 --> 01:31:21.856
or think about an abortion,
or think about...
01:31:22.984 --> 01:31:24.524
you know, her word.
01:31:24.611 --> 01:31:26.361
"Just keep your word.
And what about how
01:31:26.446 --> 01:31:28.236
your decisions are gonna
affect me?"
01:31:28.323 --> 01:31:30.443
And then she's dead,
you know?
01:31:30.533 --> 01:31:31.953
I hear it's a murder,
01:31:32.285 --> 01:31:35.345
and so I don't want anything more
to do with this thing, you know?
01:31:36.039 --> 01:31:39.169
I'm just terrified,
and I want to go someplace warm,
01:31:39.250 --> 01:31:41.050
and I want to come back to a clean slate.
01:31:41.127 --> 01:31:43.337
And you guys write your article
and just get them off me.
01:31:44.172 --> 01:31:48.422
I'm nothing.
I'm nothing to those guys.
01:31:51.429 --> 01:31:52.939
So you were right, man. Okay?
01:31:53.098 --> 01:31:55.268
And now we can prove it.
I get you on the record.
01:31:55.392 --> 01:31:57.642
We can nail these mothers
to the wall!
01:31:57.978 --> 01:32:00.068
Sliberty? We can nail them
to the wall, all right? We win!
01:32:00.146 --> 01:32:01.526
- Yeah. Just...
- All right?
01:32:03.942 --> 01:32:06.982
Just... will you just
give me a minute?
01:32:07.278 --> 01:32:08.488
Okay.
01:32:09.831 --> 01:32:11.031
He just needs a minute.
01:32:14.786 --> 01:32:15.916
Shit!
01:32:16.454 --> 01:32:19.204
- Get off! Get off of me!
- You fucking...
01:32:20.750 --> 01:32:22.670
Help! Help!
01:32:23.503 --> 01:32:25.123
Stephen!
01:32:27.382 --> 01:32:28.792
Get up!
What are you doing?
01:32:30.808 --> 01:32:32.348
- Hey, stop!
- No!
01:32:34.806 --> 01:32:37.186
- Come on, man!
- Hey! Hey!
01:32:37.517 --> 01:32:39.517
- Get off!
- What the hell are you doing?
01:32:49.863 --> 01:32:50.903
Stephen!
01:32:53.742 --> 01:32:54.822
Stephen!
01:32:55.952 --> 01:32:57.912
Stephen! Stephen!
01:32:58.121 --> 01:33:01.011
- Hey, I'm trying to help you, man.
- She was pregnant, Cal.
01:33:01.117 --> 01:33:02.457
- Yeah.
- Did I need to hear that?
01:33:02.625 --> 01:33:03.585
- Yeah.
- Huh?
01:33:03.668 --> 01:33:05.168
You couldn't tell me yourself?
01:33:05.336 --> 01:33:07.626
You had to do it like that?
Was that important to you--
01:33:07.714 --> 01:33:10.214
- I thought you'd want to hear the truth.
- That's right.
01:33:10.341 --> 01:33:12.051
You were just seeking
the truth, that's all.
01:33:12.218 --> 01:33:13.718
You're just--
you're a truth seeker.
01:33:13.845 --> 01:33:15.135
That's all.
You can't help it.
01:33:15.221 --> 01:33:17.131
It's who you are.
You're such a hypocrite.
01:33:17.223 --> 01:33:18.513
You're not interested in me.
01:33:18.641 --> 01:33:21.561
Me coming here was all about you
and getting your story.
01:33:22.937 --> 01:33:24.187
I trusted you.
01:33:25.523 --> 01:33:26.893
You're my friend!
01:33:27.984 --> 01:33:31.074
You were supposed to be my friend
when you were screwing my wife!
01:33:31.821 --> 01:33:35.151
You're my friend, Cal.
I never would have done this to you!
01:33:37.911 --> 01:33:39.661
I'm sorry, Stephen, okay?
01:33:40.330 --> 01:33:41.670
I'm sorry about all of it.
01:33:41.915 --> 01:33:44.705
Please, look, I've been an asshole,
01:33:44.834 --> 01:33:46.714
and I can understand
why you hate me for it.
01:33:47.378 --> 01:33:51.298
You've just gotta put aside
how you feel about me
01:33:51.758 --> 01:33:53.678
and stay with this.
We're so close.
01:33:58.515 --> 01:34:02.935
Every single part of this,
I have put myself on the line.
01:34:05.605 --> 01:34:06.855
Stephen.
01:34:12.112 --> 01:34:13.232
Stephen!
01:35:09.711 --> 01:35:11.541
I need a minute
with Congressman Fergus.
01:35:11.671 --> 01:35:13.421
Tell him it's Cal McAffrey
from the Globe,
01:35:13.590 --> 01:35:14.930
and I'm on a deadline.
01:35:28.788 --> 01:35:29.998
Fuck him.
01:35:30.781 --> 01:35:31.941
Asshole.
01:35:35.028 --> 01:35:36.368
It's all right. I saw that.
01:35:37.229 --> 01:35:38.399
Just give him this card,
01:35:39.240 --> 01:35:41.660
and tell him it's an issue
that directly concerns him.
01:35:49.175 --> 01:35:50.925
He asked me to give you this.
01:35:56.716 --> 01:35:57.966
Excuse me.
01:36:03.389 --> 01:36:04.599
Congressman.
01:36:04.807 --> 01:36:06.437
That Cal McAffrey.
01:36:11.105 --> 01:36:12.815
What's up?
How'd you find me?
01:36:12.899 --> 01:36:14.449
I followed the trail of crumbs,
Congressman.
01:36:15.443 --> 01:36:16.813
I need a confirmation from you
01:36:16.945 --> 01:36:18.695
for an article that
we're running tomorrow.
01:36:19.697 --> 01:36:21.657
I have been told
that you recommended
01:36:21.741 --> 01:36:23.441
to Greer Thornton
to hire Sonia Baker.
01:36:23.534 --> 01:36:24.704
Is that correct?
01:36:25.203 --> 01:36:26.283
So?
01:36:28.289 --> 01:36:31.339
So if it turns out that Sonia Baker was,
in fact, gathering information
01:36:31.542 --> 01:36:33.412
on Stephen Collins' committee findings,
01:36:33.503 --> 01:36:35.253
and passing that information
back to the very company
01:36:35.380 --> 01:36:36.550
that was being investigated,
01:36:36.631 --> 01:36:39.041
and that company
is complicit in her murder...
01:36:41.427 --> 01:36:44.597
Well, Jesus Christ, it's not gonna look
too good for you, is it, Congressman?
01:36:46.224 --> 01:36:49.354
One, never use the Lord's name
in vain with me.
01:36:50.687 --> 01:36:56.147
Two, how could you even assume
that a bright, naive, 25-year-old girl
01:36:56.234 --> 01:36:58.564
was, what, a double agent?
01:36:59.320 --> 01:37:02.700
Mr. McAffrey,
I went to bat for a young girl
01:37:02.782 --> 01:37:04.492
whose family I met
and respected.
01:37:04.784 --> 01:37:08.784
A family that seemed like
the wholesome ideal
01:37:08.871 --> 01:37:10.871
upon which this country
was founded.
01:37:11.624 --> 01:37:13.834
And Sonia Baker's
mother's first name is?
01:37:17.380 --> 01:37:21.600
- Pardon me?
- You heard me... family friend.
01:37:27.890 --> 01:37:29.480
Do you really think
that your new owners,
01:37:29.600 --> 01:37:31.270
these responsible
corporate citizens,
01:37:31.394 --> 01:37:34.434
are going to allow you to publish this...
01:37:34.564 --> 01:37:38.354
this speculative drivel?
01:37:40.403 --> 01:37:44.533
You are gonna be out of a job before
the devil can even say your name...
01:37:46.117 --> 01:37:47.117
son.
01:37:50.663 --> 01:37:51.703
Janine.
01:37:54.792 --> 01:37:56.502
Sonia's mother's first name is Janine.
01:38:17.315 --> 01:38:18.485
You're missing the point.
01:38:18.566 --> 01:38:20.446
You didn't see his face.
I saw his face.
01:38:20.526 --> 01:38:22.316
Fergus is at the heart
of this story.
01:38:22.487 --> 01:38:24.407
This story is dead, Cal.
01:38:24.697 --> 01:38:28.787
One way or another,
PointCorp pushed Sonia Baker
01:38:28.868 --> 01:38:31.418
- in front of that train.
- Oh, really? The trouble is,
01:38:31.662 --> 01:38:34.162
our new corporate owners
won't let me print any of this
01:38:34.374 --> 01:38:36.874
unless I have one of the major
players on the record.
01:38:37.043 --> 01:38:38.873
On the record, Cal!
01:38:39.796 --> 01:38:41.546
And the only person
who could do that won't.
01:38:41.631 --> 01:38:43.121
Would you like to tell me why?
01:38:43.424 --> 01:38:45.054
Or is it just that
you shagged his wife?
01:38:53.851 --> 01:38:56.601
Maybe you'd like to explain to me
how, when, and why
01:38:56.771 --> 01:38:58.431
MediaCorp chopped off your balls.
01:38:59.107 --> 01:39:01.607
This is as big and as connected
as it gets.
01:39:01.818 --> 01:39:04.568
You follow any fissure of this,
it's a massive story.
01:39:04.695 --> 01:39:06.825
You got Fergus,
you got PointCorp,
01:39:07.073 --> 01:39:09.153
and now you got MediaCorp,
all connected,
01:39:09.325 --> 01:39:11.615
all in collusion, all playing
for the same country club.
01:39:12.703 --> 01:39:14.203
I didn't realize you'd taken up the game.
01:39:14.414 --> 01:39:17.704
Oh... oh, Cal, if there's any corruption
involved here,
01:39:17.917 --> 01:39:19.047
it's coming from you.
01:39:19.127 --> 01:39:21.217
You have injected yourself
in this story
01:39:21.379 --> 01:39:23.799
right from the beginning,
and we all know why.
01:39:25.591 --> 01:39:27.501
It's over, Cal,
as far as you're concerned.
01:39:27.844 --> 01:39:29.554
I can't protect you anymore.
01:39:30.972 --> 01:39:32.842
And right now,
I'm not too sure I'd want to.
01:40:01.252 --> 01:40:02.502
You want the story?
01:40:05.756 --> 01:40:08.506
Yeah. Come on.
01:40:23.858 --> 01:40:28.988
I was first introduced to Sonia Baker
01:40:29.906 --> 01:40:33.996
in April of 2007.
01:40:35.495 --> 01:40:38.245
She was hired as a research
assistant on my staff.
01:40:39.415 --> 01:40:43.665
She was recommended
by the majority whip,
01:40:45.004 --> 01:40:49.174
congressman from West Virginia,
George Fergus.
01:40:51.511 --> 01:40:53.631
Three months into her time there,
01:40:54.680 --> 01:40:57.690
Sonia and I began...
01:40:59.727 --> 01:41:02.317
a romantic relationship.
01:41:03.272 --> 01:41:06.392
I have emailed copies
of documents to you
01:41:06.526 --> 01:41:08.696
which show, beyond doubt,
01:41:09.111 --> 01:41:11.651
the corruption between
members of my own party...
01:41:11.864 --> 01:41:16.994
I now know that she had been
placed in my office as a spy.
01:41:17.078 --> 01:41:19.208
PointCorp's tentacles reach
into every corner
01:41:19.288 --> 01:41:21.418
of the ever-growing
private security industry,
01:41:21.541 --> 01:41:22.951
both at home and abroad.
01:41:23.042 --> 01:41:24.412
Not only does this pose a great...
01:41:24.544 --> 01:41:27.294
It is a violation of our laws
on monopolistic business...
01:41:27.463 --> 01:41:31.553
...obstruct and otherwise destroy
my investigation into PointCorp.
01:41:32.635 --> 01:41:35.885
Sonia was paid to make regular
reports to PointCorp...
01:41:35.972 --> 01:41:38.802
Left unchecked, I believe
that within five years,
01:41:38.891 --> 01:41:41.471
PointCorp will have its own
standing army on US soil.
01:41:41.561 --> 01:41:42.601
...fraudulent practices...
01:41:42.687 --> 01:41:44.937
It will control our intelligence-gathering
apparatus...
01:41:45.022 --> 01:41:46.142
What happened in committee...
01:41:46.482 --> 01:41:47.892
She had access to
everything we were doing
01:41:47.984 --> 01:41:50.064
and effectively crippled
our investigation.
01:41:50.236 --> 01:41:53.656
It is a frightening vision,
and one which must be stopped.
01:41:55.408 --> 01:41:59.328
However,
when my relationship with her grew,
01:41:59.537 --> 01:42:01.787
she ceased her spying on their behalf,
01:42:02.748 --> 01:42:04.208
and I believe they killed her for it.
01:42:08.713 --> 01:42:10.173
For people like this,
who I've spent
01:42:10.256 --> 01:42:12.676
the last year and a half
of my life investigating,
01:42:13.342 --> 01:42:15.632
innocent civilians are really
little more than...
01:42:17.096 --> 01:42:21.266
disposable lives thought of
as collateral damage.
01:42:23.185 --> 01:42:25.935
And I believe it was simply
the public nature of my position that...
01:42:28.065 --> 01:42:29.605
saved me from a similar fate.
01:42:33.779 --> 01:42:34.829
So...
01:42:36.532 --> 01:42:38.492
as political suicides go,
01:42:40.202 --> 01:42:41.282
how was that?
01:42:50.254 --> 01:42:51.544
Thank you, Congressman.
01:43:06.479 --> 01:43:07.819
- You okay?
- Yeah.
01:43:08.581 --> 01:43:09.661
He was set up.
01:43:11.859 --> 01:43:14.949
She was sleeping with him
for $26,000 a month, I mean...
01:43:19.475 --> 01:43:20.515
Sliberty.
01:43:21.243 --> 01:43:22.363
Cal.
01:43:24.497 --> 01:43:25.667
- You all set?
- Mm-hmm.
01:43:25.873 --> 01:43:28.203
Okay. Let's go.
01:43:50.481 --> 01:43:53.061
- You still here?
- Yeah.
01:43:53.484 --> 01:43:55.104
I thought you would've been
down at your desk,
01:43:55.194 --> 01:43:56.404
blasting it online.
01:43:57.530 --> 01:43:59.290
Well, you know, a piece this big,
01:43:59.365 --> 01:44:01.115
people should probably have
newsprint on their hands
01:44:01.200 --> 01:44:03.160
when they read it,
don't you think?
01:44:05.663 --> 01:44:08.543
I'll do Collins, Fergus,
PointCorp,
01:44:08.666 --> 01:44:10.416
and corporate and government
malfeasance.
01:44:10.543 --> 01:44:12.163
- Okay.
- You do Sonia Baker...
01:44:12.253 --> 01:44:15.383
The murder, Mandi,
Rhonda Silver.
01:44:15.881 --> 01:44:17.211
And the Dominic Foy connection.
01:44:17.466 --> 01:44:18.506
- All right?
- Yeah.
01:44:18.592 --> 01:44:20.212
- Retire to the neutral corner.
- Okay.
01:44:20.428 --> 01:44:21.728
Gentle. Thank you.
01:44:31.564 --> 01:44:32.814
Sir, it's Robert Bingham.
01:44:33.649 --> 01:44:35.199
I'm sorry to call you directly.
01:44:35.943 --> 01:44:38.903
I want to assure you that
I'm ready to finish what we started.
01:44:40.990 --> 01:44:42.080
Good-bye.
01:45:55.189 --> 01:45:56.609
I won't be more than an hour.
01:46:04.031 --> 01:46:06.281
- Hey, guys.
- Evening, sir. How you doing?
01:46:18.546 --> 01:46:19.966
- Hello.
- Is it a night for it?
01:46:21.507 --> 01:46:25.057
Oh, uh, yeah, yeah.
I think it is.
01:46:33.143 --> 01:46:36.563
So, how old are you?
Actually, don't tell me.
01:46:36.689 --> 01:46:37.939
It would just make me sick.
01:46:38.023 --> 01:46:40.023
You never ask a girl her age.
01:46:40.383 --> 01:46:42.233
Well, see, I look at you,
I don't see a girl.
01:46:42.319 --> 01:46:43.449
I just see a reporter.
01:46:44.196 --> 01:46:46.156
- At last.
- Anyway, back to the story.
01:46:46.282 --> 01:46:47.402
Yes.
01:46:48.033 --> 01:46:50.283
So I had this, uh,
English teacher in high school.
01:46:50.578 --> 01:46:53.788
He was a kind of a long-haired
hippie kind of guy.
01:46:53.914 --> 01:46:56.334
- Mm-hmm.
- He had a pen problem.
01:46:56.917 --> 01:46:58.127
- Oh.
- Yeah.
01:46:58.544 --> 01:47:01.624
He solved it by having
a piece of leather string around his neck.
01:47:02.339 --> 01:47:04.969
- And that's where he'd keep his pen.
- Smart.
01:47:05.509 --> 01:47:07.429
- So I started thinking...
- Mm-hmm.
01:47:07.553 --> 01:47:09.423
..."My friend Della's
got a pen problem.
01:47:10.222 --> 01:47:11.842
How do I solve it?"
01:47:12.558 --> 01:47:14.308
- And I came up with this.
- What is it?
01:47:14.476 --> 01:47:17.566
I call it the Della Frye
Nubian Princess
01:47:17.897 --> 01:47:21.197
"I'm never without a pen"
celebratory necklace.
01:47:21.442 --> 01:47:23.652
Oh, it's beautiful!
01:47:23.736 --> 01:47:25.946
I always wanted one of these.
01:47:30.075 --> 01:47:31.495
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
01:47:35.623 --> 01:47:36.873
You know,
I wanted to tell you something
01:47:37.917 --> 01:47:39.207
about Anne Collins.
01:47:40.419 --> 01:47:41.589
Okay.
01:47:58.854 --> 01:48:00.434
I was just talking to her.
01:48:05.235 --> 01:48:06.775
How does Anne Collins know
that Sonia Baker
01:48:06.862 --> 01:48:08.522
was earning $26,000 a month?
01:48:11.557 --> 01:48:12.597
What?
01:48:14.954 --> 01:48:16.874
How does she know how much
Sonia Baker was earning?
01:48:17.164 --> 01:48:18.374
- We know that.
- Yeah.
01:48:18.582 --> 01:48:19.992
How does Anne Collins know that?
01:48:20.292 --> 01:48:23.962
Well, I mean,
Stephen must have heard it
01:48:24.129 --> 01:48:25.299
in the Foy interview.
01:48:26.548 --> 01:48:28.808
We played him a specific part
of that tape,
01:48:28.968 --> 01:48:30.598
and that figure
is never mentioned.
01:48:49.488 --> 01:48:51.788
Cal, wait.
What are you doing?
01:49:04.035 --> 01:49:05.115
What are you doing?
01:49:06.254 --> 01:49:07.294
Cal?
01:49:13.012 --> 01:49:14.302
Uh, you gonna fill me in?
01:49:14.513 --> 01:49:16.223
Just tell Cameron,
"Hold the story."
01:49:18.132 --> 01:49:20.172
What? Cal?
01:49:21.562 --> 01:49:22.602
Cal!
01:49:26.049 --> 01:49:27.139
Shit.
01:49:52.468 --> 01:49:53.888
Who's Robert Bingham,
Stephen?
01:50:06.797 --> 01:50:08.177
Who is Robert Bingham?
01:50:27.336 --> 01:50:28.626
Are the police outside?
01:50:30.831 --> 01:50:31.871
No.
01:50:34.510 --> 01:50:37.100
I saved Robert Bingham's life
in Kuwait in '91.
01:50:38.555 --> 01:50:40.285
He was a 17-year-old kid.
01:50:40.808 --> 01:50:43.058
He was a good soldier.
01:50:43.268 --> 01:50:44.728
He was proud of what we did.
01:50:46.105 --> 01:50:47.855
The army was his life.
01:50:47.981 --> 01:50:50.601
He had problems
when he got discharged.
01:50:51.485 --> 01:50:54.445
So you had a guy that
you knew to be unstable...
01:50:55.797 --> 01:50:57.337
do what, exactly?
01:50:58.075 --> 01:51:00.115
Scare her?
Maybe beat her up a little?
01:51:00.244 --> 01:51:02.534
No, Cal.
I had him follow her.
01:51:03.196 --> 01:51:04.286
Why?
01:51:04.373 --> 01:51:07.503
Because I knew she was
hiding something from me.
01:51:08.585 --> 01:51:09.965
Because when I'd--
I'd be at her house
01:51:10.045 --> 01:51:11.835
and a fax would come in,
she'd get nervous.
01:51:11.922 --> 01:51:14.342
Because there were
phone calls late at night.
01:51:14.508 --> 01:51:15.598
I was suspicious.
01:51:16.385 --> 01:51:19.725
I asked Bingham to observe her
and report back to me.
01:51:20.389 --> 01:51:21.439
That's all.
01:51:23.392 --> 01:51:24.512
You're a liar, Stephen.
01:51:24.643 --> 01:51:27.543
He was more upset about what
she was doing than I was.
01:51:27.643 --> 01:51:29.933
You have to understand what
the military means to Bingham.
01:51:30.023 --> 01:51:32.153
He hates PointCorp
for what they're trying to do to it.
01:51:32.484 --> 01:51:33.904
In his mind,
she just had to stop.
01:51:33.986 --> 01:51:35.026
But she did stop, right?
01:51:35.595 --> 01:51:37.945
She tore up her paychecks,
and she put her life at risk for you.
01:51:38.157 --> 01:51:39.787
Yes, but I didn't know that.
01:51:40.475 --> 01:51:42.725
I didn't know that
he was gonna kill her.
01:51:43.662 --> 01:51:45.452
I didn't know he had killed her.
01:51:45.622 --> 01:51:47.372
When I found out, my thought
was just the same as yours.
01:51:47.457 --> 01:51:48.877
I thought PointCorp had done it.
01:51:49.585 --> 01:51:51.415
- And when you did find out?
- What was I supposed to do?
01:51:51.503 --> 01:51:52.583
- Tell someone.
- I tried.
01:51:53.297 --> 01:51:54.327
- When?
- When I came to your house
01:51:54.430 --> 01:51:55.590
and I wanted to
talk to you about it,
01:51:55.674 --> 01:51:57.004
and all you cared
about was the story.
01:51:57.092 --> 01:52:00.012
No, Stephen,
I cared about helping you.
01:52:00.095 --> 01:52:01.345
Bullshit. Bullshit.
01:52:01.597 --> 01:52:03.347
All you cared about was
clearing your conscience
01:52:03.473 --> 01:52:05.013
over this little soap opera
you have with Annie.
01:52:05.184 --> 01:52:06.854
- So you used me.
- No, Cal.
01:52:06.935 --> 01:52:08.765
- Same way as you used Bingham.
- I was suspicious of her.
01:52:08.854 --> 01:52:10.314
I brought him in.
That's all it was!
01:52:10.397 --> 01:52:12.817
It was a mistake!
It's my responsibility.
01:52:12.900 --> 01:52:16.200
I should never have done that.
But I never asked him to kill her.
01:52:16.361 --> 01:52:18.441
He owed you his life!
01:52:20.365 --> 01:52:21.695
That's why you called him.
01:52:23.285 --> 01:52:25.205
You called him,
and you used him.
01:52:26.038 --> 01:52:27.878
Like you've been trying
to use me.
01:52:29.333 --> 01:52:32.163
One to kill,
and one to cover it up.
01:52:32.753 --> 01:52:34.503
If PointCorp and Fergus
hadn't hired her,
01:52:34.588 --> 01:52:36.468
- none of this would've happened!
- This is not about Bingham
01:52:36.548 --> 01:52:38.548
and PointCorp and Fergus, man!
01:52:38.800 --> 01:52:41.890
It's about you and the decisions
that you have made
01:52:42.012 --> 01:52:43.802
that have led to four people
being killed.
01:52:45.933 --> 01:52:47.723
One of them was
delivering a pizza, Stephen.
01:52:50.687 --> 01:52:51.567
Cal...
01:52:53.065 --> 01:52:54.065
What are you gonna do?
01:52:55.484 --> 01:52:56.654
You know what I'm gonna do.
01:53:00.239 --> 01:53:02.499
You know, it's laughable,
01:53:03.408 --> 01:53:05.078
your sense of your own
self-worth.
01:53:06.328 --> 01:53:09.168
Why is that?
'Cause nobody reads the papers anymore?
01:53:09.289 --> 01:53:10.249
Is that it?
01:53:11.124 --> 01:53:13.294
It's just another story,
a couple days of shit-storm,
01:53:13.377 --> 01:53:14.627
and it's wrapping paper?
01:53:15.254 --> 01:53:17.334
You know, in the middle of all
this gossip and speculation
01:53:17.464 --> 01:53:18.674
that permeates people's lives,
01:53:18.757 --> 01:53:21.637
I still think they know the difference
between real news and bullshit.
01:53:22.594 --> 01:53:24.634
And they're glad that
someone cares enough
01:53:25.305 --> 01:53:27.515
to get things on the record
and print the truth.
01:53:27.766 --> 01:53:30.476
Cal. Please,
Cal, don't do this. Please.
01:53:30.978 --> 01:53:32.898
I'm asking you as your friend.
01:53:35.857 --> 01:53:37.567
You got about three minutes
before the cops get here.
01:53:41.613 --> 01:53:43.233
I thought you said
you didn't call them.
01:53:45.617 --> 01:53:46.707
I lied.
01:54:35.500 --> 01:54:39.180
A good soldier fights for
his country and his friends.
01:54:41.465 --> 01:54:43.965
But these guys, they want to
make it all about the money.
01:54:47.596 --> 01:54:48.976
You want to live
in a world like that?
01:54:49.056 --> 01:54:50.386
Drop the weapon!
01:54:51.308 --> 01:54:53.858
The story about Stephen comes out
whether I write it or not.
01:54:54.061 --> 01:54:56.471
Drop your weapon!
Drop it!
01:54:57.356 --> 01:54:58.686
I'd rather be nothing.
01:54:58.982 --> 01:55:01.152
I repeat, drop your weapon!
01:57:05.108 --> 01:57:06.528
Well, aren't you gonna send it?
01:57:08.111 --> 01:57:11.031
I've only been holding the front page
for four hours after all.
01:57:12.699 --> 01:57:13.869
You send it.
01:57:19.498 --> 01:57:21.128
Good night, everybody.
See you tomorrow.
01:57:27.214 --> 01:57:29.004
- Yinzer.
- Yinzer.
