00:06:40	All right, stay there.
00:06:43	I already got something for you.
00:06:45	A couple sleeping in bed,
00:06:47	goes through the bedroom,
00:06:49	Good morning. Crash.
00:06:50	Lewis is over at Democratic headquarters.
00:06:52	One of the burglars had $814.
00:06:55	One $230, one $215, and one $234.
00:06:58	Most of it was in $100 bills
00:07:03	-Woodward?
00:07:04	There's been a break-in
00:07:06	-There's been an arrest.
00:07:08	They were bugging the place.
00:07:09	Check the time of arraignment,
00:07:12	And, Woodward,
00:07:14	All right.
00:07:17	-Anything else?
00:07:19	Break-in, car crash.
00:07:22	Okay, let me know what happens.
00:07:24	Got anything on that couple?
00:07:25	Harry, I know somebody on the staff
00:07:28	Bernstein, why don't you finish one story
00:07:31	I finished it.
00:07:33	-The Virginia Legislature story?
00:07:35	All right, give it to me.
00:07:37	I'm just polishing it. I'll work the phones.
00:07:39	Polishing it? Yeah, you work the phones.
00:07:47	Excuse me, I'm sorry, who are the lawyers
00:07:50	Do you know?
00:07:52	-Well, these two were assigned to it.
00:07:54	These two were appointed to the case.
00:07:56	But only now it turns out
00:07:59	-The burglars have their own counsel?
00:08:02	That's kind of unusual, wouldn't you say?
00:08:04	For burglars it's unusual.
00:08:05	-You know the name of the counsel?
00:08:10	JUDGE: You are charged
00:08:12	at 14th and east street.
00:08:14	And you get as your solicitor,
00:08:18	Your Honor, Mrs. Hawkin has in the past
00:08:22	Parents are sworn over.
00:08:26	Excuse me, what is your name?
00:08:30	I'm Bob Woodward
00:08:33	-Markham.
00:08:35	Mr. Markham, are you here in connection
00:08:39	I'm not here.
00:08:44	Okay.
00:08:47	Well, clearly, I am here...
00:08:50	but only as an individual,
00:08:53	Who is?
00:08:55	Mr. Starkey.
00:08:58	-Do you have any--
00:09:00	you'll have to get it from him.
00:09:13	Starkey. S-T-....
00:09:19	Mr. Starkey was very helpful.
00:09:21	Four Cuban Americans
00:09:25	Look, I told you inside,
00:09:28	I understand that.
00:09:30	What I don't understand is
00:09:33	I assure you there's nothing
00:09:36	Well, a little while ago, I was talking
00:09:39	assigned to represent the burglars.
00:09:41	So?
00:09:42	They never would have been assigned
00:09:45	had anyone known the burglars
00:09:48	Only, the burglars couldn't have arranged
00:09:50	since they never even made a phone call.
00:09:53	So, if no one asked you to be here,
00:09:57	I don't want you
00:09:59	-Woodward.
00:10:00	It'd be a mistake to do that.
00:10:03	I just don't have anything to say.
00:10:16	Did one of the other men
00:10:21	What reason do you have to assume
00:10:24	Well, one of your clients
00:10:27	They're not my clients.
00:10:29	Now, I don't want
00:10:31	You're a lawyer and you're here.
00:10:35	One of the defendants, Mr. Barker,
00:10:39	-Where?
00:10:42	A Miami social occasion?
00:10:43	Mr. Starkey says
00:10:46	L-62, James McCord.
00:10:48	L-63, Bernard Barker.
00:10:50	L-64, Virgil Gonzales.
00:10:53	L-65, Eugenio Martinez.
00:10:55	L-66, Frank Sturgis.
00:10:58	Please step forward, Attorney Starkey.
00:11:00	All charged with Burglary 2.
00:11:05	-Mr. Starkey, will you represent all five?
00:11:08	And are all five gentlemen charged
00:11:11	Yes, Your Honor.
00:11:12	JUDGE: Your names, please,
00:11:15	Bernard Barker, anti-communist.
00:11:18	Anti-communist?
00:11:25	James McCord, security consultant.
00:11:28	JUDGE: Where?
00:11:29	Government. Recently retired.
00:11:32	-Where in the government?
00:11:36	Where?
00:11:38	The CIA.
00:11:39	Sturgis, Frank A., salvage operator.
00:11:43	Holy shit!
00:11:45	Eugenio Martinez, known as Gene Valdez.
00:11:48	James W. McCord, alias Edward Martin.
00:11:50	Frank Sturgis, alias Frank Fiorini.
00:11:52	All five of them had at least one alias.
00:11:54	Is there any proof they were trying to bug
00:11:57	It's obvious
00:11:59	They wouldn't go to all that trouble
00:12:01	-There's no proof.
00:12:02	I called a lawyer in Miami I know.
00:12:03	He said four of the guys
00:12:06	Gonzales, Martinez, Sturgis, and Barker.
00:12:08	Yeah, Barker. And all four of them
00:12:12	-No, they weren't.
00:12:14	No, only one of them was admitted CIA,
00:12:17	In fact, they deny even knowing McCord.
00:12:19	Yeah, but I just think it's obvious that
00:12:22	they weren't out to work by themselves.
00:12:26	I'm not interested
00:12:27	I'm interested in what you know.
00:12:29	What we don't know is why they wanted
00:12:31	Whether they were working
00:12:33	or other individuals or other organizations.
00:12:34	Could be a story,
00:12:36	Bachinski, when you get there tonight,
00:12:39	The police are nervous.
00:12:42	[Telephone ringing]
00:12:48	Yeah?
00:12:50	Bachinski, calling from
00:12:51	A friend just showed me
00:12:54	of the Watergate burglars.
00:12:55	There's something here
00:12:57	Hang on. Okay, go ahead.
00:12:59	There's a strange entry
00:13:02	-Yeah.
00:13:06	The other says, "Howard Hunt, W. House."
00:13:12	You can dial the White House direct,
00:13:14	SECRETARY: Yeah.
00:13:15	BOB: What's the number?
00:13:30	OPERATOR: White House.
00:13:32	Mr. Hunt isn't here just now.
00:13:35	He might be in Mr. Colson's office.
00:13:38	Thank you.
00:13:40	-Charles Colson's office.
00:13:43	-Mr. Hunt isn't here just now.
00:13:46	No, I don't.
00:13:48	Okay, thank you.
00:13:49	-Have you tried the Mullen Firm?
00:13:52	He also works as a writer at
00:13:54	Do you have a phone on that
00:13:57	No, I don't. I'm sorry.
00:13:58	All right, thank you.
00:14:03	Harry?
00:14:05	Who's Charles Colson?
00:14:08	Who's Charles Colson?
00:14:10	Sit down.
00:14:13	You know, I'm glad
00:14:15	The reason I'm glad you asked me
00:14:17	if you had asked Simons or Bradlee,
00:14:19	"You know we're going to have to fire this
00:14:23	Who is Charles Colson?
00:14:25	The most powerful man
00:14:29	You've heard of him?
00:14:32	Charles Colson is
00:14:35	There's a cartoon on his wall.
00:14:38	Caption reads,
00:14:41	"their hearts and minds will follow."
00:14:50	OPERATOR: Mullen & Company.
00:14:51	-Howard Hunt, please.
00:14:55	Howard Hunt here.
00:14:57	Hi, I'm Bob Woodward
00:15:00	Yes, what is it?
00:15:02	I was just kind of wondering
00:15:05	were in the address books of
00:15:08	Good God!
00:15:11	Do you care to comment?
00:15:12	In view that the matter is under
00:15:16	WOMAN: Hello?
00:15:17	This is Bob Woodward
00:15:20	I was told that you had worked
00:15:23	Why would anyone say that?
00:15:25	You do know Mr. Hunt?
00:15:27	No, I don't believe so, and I can't imagine
00:15:30	Listen, I'm really sorry,
00:15:33	Could we just confirm a couple.... Bye.
00:15:39	PUBLISHER: Did you say
00:15:41	Yes, that's right, the Post.
00:15:42	Your publishing firm was listed in some
00:15:47	Yeah, he's one of our authors.
00:15:49	He wrote spy novels, I think.
00:15:51	What type of spy novels were they?
00:15:55	You say, "wrote"? You mean
00:15:57	No, not at this time.
00:15:58	How long has it been
00:16:01	A couple of years, I think.
00:16:02	Could you tell me some of the names
00:16:07	BOB: Hello? Is this Mr. Paul Herrera?
00:16:10	This is Bob Woodward
00:16:13	Bob Woodward of the....
00:16:16	[Man speaking in Spanish]
00:16:17	[In Spanish] Momento, momento.
00:16:19	Do any of you guys speak English?
00:16:24	[Man rambling in Spanish over phone]
00:16:27	-Señor.
00:16:29	[Speaking in rustic Spanish]
00:16:34	Never mind. Thank you.
00:16:36	Thank you. Never mind.
00:16:44	-Hello.
00:16:45	-Yes.
00:16:47	of the Washington Post.
00:16:48	Sorry to bother you at home.
00:16:49	I was wondering
00:16:51	on one of your employees,
00:16:53	What kind of information?
00:16:54	It's just profile information mostly.
00:16:56	We know, for example,
00:16:58	or did work for Mullen & Company
00:17:02	We know that he works in the office of
00:17:05	And the CIA.
00:17:08	And the CIA.
00:17:09	If you're conducting
00:17:12	then certainly it comes as no surprise
00:17:16	No, no surprise at all.
00:17:21	Hunt worked for the CIA till 1970.
00:17:23	From '49 to '70.
00:17:25	but the FBI thinks
00:17:28	What else you got?
00:17:29	According to White House personnel...
00:17:30	Hunt definitely worked there
00:17:33	That's Charles Colson,
00:17:36	Did you call the White House Press Office?
00:17:38	I went over there. I talked to them.
00:17:39	They said Hunt hadn't worked there
00:17:42	Then a PR guy said this weird thing to me.
00:17:46	He said, "I'm convinced
00:17:48	"nor anyone at the White House...
00:17:50	"had any knowledge of
00:17:52	"this deplorable incident
00:17:56	-Isn't that what you'd expect them to say?
00:18:00	So?
00:18:02	I never asked about Watergate.
00:18:04	I simply asked what were Hunt's duties
00:18:08	They volunteered he was innocent
00:18:13	Be careful how you write it.
00:18:17	Looks like we've got a White House
00:18:20	Harry, this isn't a police story anymore.
00:18:22	We need a top political writer on it.
00:18:24	Well, they don't want it.
00:18:26	They're all over the goddamned map
00:18:28	Besides, this guy has busted his ass.
00:18:30	He's been on this paper
00:18:32	-What's the matter with you?
00:18:34	What's he been writing about,
00:18:36	-He's got no experience.
00:18:39	Minor incidents.
00:18:41	Have Mr. Moffitt come in here, please.
00:18:44	I want Ben to hear this.
00:18:45	Sure Moffitt'll want the story
00:18:47	now that we've built it into something.
00:18:49	Even Bernstein's busting his ass!
00:18:50	I read that cockamamie memorandum
00:18:53	All right, so some of it was bullshit.
00:18:55	What is the matter with you?
00:18:57	You told me yourself
00:19:01	Look, he wants on the story bad.
00:19:05	He knows a lot of people.
00:19:08	Howard, they're hungry!
00:19:10	You remember when you were hungry?
00:20:28	MAN: Hello. Can you get me Nigel....
00:20:35	Right away.
00:20:49	-How's it going?
00:20:51	-Polishing it a little.
00:20:53	-Polishing it.
00:20:54	Nothing. Nothing. It's good.
00:20:56	Then what are you doing with it?
00:20:57	I'm just helping. It's a little fuzzy.
00:21:00	May I have it?
00:21:01	I don't think you're saying what you mean.
00:21:03	I know exactly what I mean.
00:21:04	Not here, I can't tell from this whether...
00:21:06	Hunt works for Colson
00:21:08	-May I have it, please?
00:21:10	-May I have it?
00:21:12	I'm not looking for a fight, either.
00:21:13	I'm just aware of the fact that
00:21:17	What's that got to do with anything?
00:21:18	I've been in the business since I'm 16.
00:21:19	What are you saying?
00:21:20	I'm trying to tell you that
00:21:23	-May I read yours?
00:21:26	I walked by, gave yours a glance,
00:21:28	so I just figured I'd refine it a little.
00:21:29	The first paragraph
00:21:31	if the reader's going to understand it.
00:21:33	You don't mention Colson's name
00:21:36	I think mine's better.
00:21:38	If you think yours is better,
00:21:40	I've got Colson's name up front.
00:21:43	He's a White House consultant
00:21:45	You're right.
00:21:47	Yours is better.
00:22:00	If you're going to do it, do it right.
00:22:02	If you're going to hype it,
00:22:04	I don't mind what you did.
00:22:08	Woodward. Bernstein.
00:22:10	You're both on the story.
00:22:18	CARL: Steuben, what's the name of
00:22:22	-that works in Colson's office?
00:22:26	SHARON: Why are you looking at me
00:22:28	CARL: You're attractive.
00:22:31	You are very attractive.
00:22:33	You know, my girlfriend told me
00:22:35	-Who?
00:22:39	Steuben said you worked for Colson.
00:22:44	Steuben's crazy.
00:22:46	That's what he said.
00:22:48	I worked for an assistant.
00:22:52	Even if I had worked for him,
00:22:57	Did you know Howard Hunt?
00:23:01	Yeah, I knew Howard.
00:23:02	-Nice?
00:23:04	He's secretive, he is secretive,
00:23:08	Do you have any idea what he did?
00:23:12	The White House said
00:23:15	What do you say?
00:23:16	[Sharon chuckling]
00:23:18	-He was doing investigative work.
00:23:23	-Different things.
00:23:27	She warned me.
00:23:28	I'm not going to take my book out.
00:23:32	The scuttlebutt for a while was that
00:23:35	Go on.
00:23:36	The White House was real paranoid
00:23:41	I remember seeing a book about
00:23:44	And he was always getting material
00:23:47	and the Library of Congress,
00:23:52	RECEPTIONIST: White House Library.
00:23:54	Hi, this is Carl Bernstein
00:23:56	and I was just wondering
00:23:58	any books that a Howard Hunt
00:24:02	-Howard Hunt?
00:24:05	Yes, I think I do remember.
00:24:08	He took out a whole lot of material.
00:24:10	-Why don't you hold on and I'll see?
00:24:27	-Mr. Bernstein?
00:24:29	-I was wrong.
00:24:31	The truth is, I don't have a card
00:24:37	I don't remember getting material for....
00:24:39	I do remember getting material
00:24:42	All right.
00:24:44	The truth is, I didn't have any requests
00:24:51	The truth is, I don't know any Mr. Hunt.
00:24:58	I was just wondering
00:25:06	BOB: Yes,
00:25:09	We'd just like to find out
00:25:12	when he worked out as a White House
00:25:15	Yes, I'd appreciate that, if you could.
00:25:17	Yes, sir. Thank you.
00:25:19	I just got off the phone
00:25:21	You want to look at the notes on it?
00:25:25	This is some stuff from
00:25:28	that Hunt was connected with.
00:25:33	Did you call the
00:25:35	No, I just got off the phone
00:25:38	-524-743.
00:25:42	Between the first and second quote
00:25:45	It's a space of about five seconds.
00:25:47	-My feeling is--
00:25:48	SECRETARY: Mr. Clawson's office.
00:25:49	This is Bob Woodward
00:25:51	-Could I talk to Mr. Clawson, please?
00:25:53	Thank you.
00:25:55	When she came back
00:25:57	-Ken Clawson.
00:26:00	Carl Bernstein of the Washington Post
00:26:02	with a White House librarian...
00:26:04	on some books a Mr. Howard Hunt
00:26:07	She first said that Howard Hunt
00:26:10	and then she denied even knowing
00:26:13	I was wondering if you'd like to comment
00:26:15	Listen, let me call you back on this matter.
00:26:18	-I'm going to check on it for you.
00:26:21	-Call back?
00:26:22	-This was all one conversation?
00:26:24	She says first of all,
00:26:27	She comes back five seconds later, she
00:26:30	It's obvious someone got to her.
00:26:31	Not enough proof.
00:26:34	that said that Hunt was taking out books
00:26:37	Like a.... I don't know, library slip.
00:26:38	Hunt also took out books
00:26:40	but what's more important is that
00:26:43	-How do you know somebody got to her?
00:26:46	There was a lot of books
00:26:48	And then she comes back
00:26:50	-Woodward.
00:26:53	-I've just talked with the librarian.
00:26:56	She denies that the conversation
00:27:00	She said she referred him
00:27:02	Excuse me, I'm sorry, you say
00:27:04	about the conversation taking place?
00:27:06	That's right. She said someone
00:27:11	but all she did was refer him
00:27:13	and she denies that...
00:27:15	-any other conversation took place.
00:27:17	-I hope that's been of some help to you.
00:27:24	-We've got to get something on paper.
00:27:29	BOB: Mona?
00:27:30	Excuse me, Mona, could you take
00:27:33	-Sure.
00:27:35	If I get any calls....
00:27:38	-Will you be back later?
00:27:54	You want all the material
00:27:58	All White House transactions
00:28:02	Thank you very much, gentlemen.
00:28:09	-We need a sympathetic face.
00:28:13	You want every request since when?
00:28:16	CARL: When did he start?
00:28:18	CARL: I imagine the whole last year.
00:28:22	I'm not sure you want them,
00:29:18	Maybe they pulled the cards.
00:29:20	Maybe they changed the names.
00:29:21	There might have been a card there,
00:29:24	Hey, wait a minute.
00:29:27	I met a White House aide once
00:29:30	-So?
00:29:34	BOB: Do we need W.H. in White House?
00:29:37	-I don't think we do. Do we?
00:29:39	-White House.
00:29:41	I want to know about Colson.
00:29:43	-Special consultant to the President.
00:29:48	These notes on the White House librarian,
00:29:52	The White House librarian,
00:29:54	Yeah, but I wanna hear him say it.
00:30:16	-Okay, let's have it.
00:30:19	It's a good, solid piece
00:30:22	that the New York Times doesn't have.
00:30:47	You haven't got it.
00:30:48	A librarian and a secretary saying
00:30:51	That's not good enough.
00:30:52	A White House aide told me
00:30:55	Who was it?
00:30:57	Who was it?
00:30:59	No, how senior, how high up?
00:31:01	I don't know titles.
00:31:16	"Showed a special interest."
00:31:17	No, we said the White House
00:31:20	"Showed a special interest in him."
00:31:21	Jesus, the story's stronger than that.
00:31:23	The White House librarian says
00:31:25	We got a secretary in Colson's office
00:31:28	All right, Carl. Ben, that's a Page 1 story.
00:31:32	Stick it inside someplace.
00:31:36	This is a goddamn important story.
00:31:43	Get some harder information next time.
00:31:50	Asshole. Bradlee's just sticking up
00:31:53	-We didn't have it, that's all.
00:31:55	-No, we didn't.
00:31:57	Do you think bitching about it is going
00:32:02	Throw it in the can.
00:32:31	[Phone ringing]
00:32:34	MAN: Yes?
00:32:38	I want to talk about Watergate. I know--
00:32:40	We're not going to talk about that subject.
00:32:44	-We talked about Wallace.
00:32:48	That was about the shooting
00:32:52	-This is different.
00:32:55	Not about this story. Don't call me again.
00:33:05	[News reporter on radio]
00:34:20	MAN: Good luck, Mr. President.
00:34:48	Taxi.
00:36:04	[Lighter flicking open]
00:36:22	-Where are you?
00:36:25	The story's stalled on us.
00:36:30	And you thought I'd help?
00:36:34	I'll never quote you.
00:36:38	I wouldn't quote you
00:36:41	You'd be on deep background.
00:36:46	You can trust me. You know that.
00:36:51	Go on.
00:36:55	-Can you tell me what you know?
00:37:03	Hunt worked for Colson
00:37:07	Hunt was investigating Kennedy
00:37:10	That should tell you a lot.
00:37:12	What else?
00:37:14	We're beginning to hear a lot about
00:37:19	who's....
00:37:20	[Man whistling]
00:37:33	Gordon Liddy...
00:37:35	was fired by Mitchell
00:37:39	-You'll hear more.
00:37:47	I was at a party once, and...
00:37:49	Liddy put his hand over a candle,
00:37:54	He kept it right in the flame
00:37:59	Somebody said, "What's the trick?"
00:38:07	The story is dry.
00:38:10	All we've got are pieces.
00:38:13	We can't seem to figure out
00:38:16	John Mitchell resigns
00:38:19	and says that he wants to spend
00:38:22	Sounds like bullshit.
00:38:24	No, but it's touching.
00:38:29	Forget the myths the media's created
00:38:34	The truth is,
00:38:37	and things got out of hand.
00:38:40	Hunt's come in from the cold.
00:38:43	Supposedly, he's got a lawyer
00:38:47	Follow the money.
00:38:51	What do you mean? Where?
00:38:54	I can't tell you that.
00:38:56	But you could tell me that.
00:38:59	No, I have to do this my way.
00:39:01	You tell me what you know
00:39:05	I'll keep you in the right direction if I can,
00:39:12	Just follow the money.
00:39:24	CARL: Goddamn New York Times.
00:39:29	Phone calls from burglars in Miami
00:39:36	Fifteen phone calls.
00:39:37	At least 15 phone calls and those phone
00:39:41	which is a full three months
00:39:43	"$89,000 issued in the name
00:39:46	$89,000 in Mexican checks?
00:39:49	Why didn't we get this?
00:39:52	Who are their sources?
00:39:53	I even know someone
00:39:57	Carl, if John Mitchell
00:39:59	you'd be running around yelling
00:40:02	Was the New York Times article accurate?
00:40:03	-Yeah, but I can't get you a fuller listing.
00:40:06	They've subpoenaed
00:40:08	I think they're trying to find out if the
00:40:14	-Who subpoenaed them?
00:40:16	-What's his name?
00:40:18	But, the guy who's heading
00:40:21	Dardis. What's his first name?
00:40:23	I don't know his first name.
00:40:34	Hi. I'm Carl Bernstein, I have
00:40:37	Yes, Mr. Bernstein,
00:40:39	won't be able to see you this morning.
00:40:41	His calendar is really quite full.
00:40:42	There must be a mistake. I made
00:40:45	-I called from Washington.
00:40:47	If you care to wait,
00:40:50	Oh, thanks very much.
00:40:53	I guess it's difficult
00:40:57	Yes, well, we try to handle it.
00:41:02	[Knocking on door]
00:41:07	It's 4:00, we'll be back in 15 minutes.
00:41:11	-Coffee, black.
00:41:18	I'm still here.
00:41:20	[Laughing] I'm so glad.
00:41:21	If you could just get me in to see him
00:41:24	-No, Mr. Bernstein.
00:41:27	We're going to try.
00:41:31	Oh, hi. He's expecting you.
00:41:39	I do have a couple of things to do. I'll be
00:41:43	If he has any space tomorrow,
00:41:46	-Fine.
00:41:48	Thank you, Mr. Bernstein.
00:41:52	I guess so.
00:41:57	SECRETARY: Mr. Dardis' office.
00:41:59	Hi. Please tell Mr. Dardis
00:42:02	He'll be available all day tomorrow.
00:42:04	I think we can probably
00:42:07	Yes.
00:42:08	And please tell Mr. Dardis that he doesn't
00:42:12	-Yes, I will.
00:42:17	[Telephone ringing]
00:42:22	Mr. Dardis' office.
00:42:23	CARL: This is Mr. Martinson--
00:42:25	Martinson, over at
00:42:27	There's some records here
00:42:29	Could you come and get them?
00:42:31	Well, yes, I'll be right over.
00:42:57	DARDIS: Could be easier, too.
00:43:00	DARDIS: What?
00:43:02	Hi. Can I help you in some way?
00:43:04	I'm Carl Bernstein.
00:43:06	-Would you wait outside?
00:43:08	-Go ahead. Finish your call.
00:43:10	No. I'm the reporter
00:43:13	We talked on the telephone yesterday...
00:43:15	and you told me to come on down here
00:43:17	Okay, yeah. I've got the press here.
00:43:20	If you didn't want to see me
00:43:22	you didn't tell me
00:43:23	I just wasted a whole goddamned day
00:43:26	You tell me yesterday to come here.
00:43:29	-I've been waiting out here the whole day.
00:43:32	The man I work for
00:43:34	Now, we're gonna have to see each other
00:43:37	No, sir, I'm facing a deadline
00:43:39	-I just don't have a minute now.
00:43:43	Mr. Dardis, I'm really very sorry
00:43:46	I beg your pardon, ma'am,
00:43:48	made the appointment
00:43:49	And I think the Washington Post
00:43:52	as any of the people waiting out there,
00:43:54	I'll buzz you in about five minutes.
00:43:58	The lady takes good care of me.
00:44:01	The fact is we just can't go into it
00:44:03	It's going to have to wait
00:44:05	I just wish you could've told me that
00:44:07	because I gotta go back to my paper now
00:44:10	one way or another, that's all.
00:44:15	Do you want to see Mr. Barker's
00:44:18	You told me on the phone if I'd come here
00:44:22	-That's all I want.
00:44:24	Well, that's fine.
00:44:25	Okay, you and I are going to have to have
00:44:28	that you're not going to reveal
00:44:31	DARDIS: All these are cashier's checks
00:44:36	CARL: All these checks from Mexico?
00:44:37	CARL: How come?
00:44:39	DARDIS: Well,
00:44:43	CARL: Wait a minute, what's this one?
00:44:45	DARDIS: What's.... Okay, $25,000.
00:44:47	CARL: Who's that?
00:44:49	DARDIS: We haven't been able to ascertain
00:44:52	Bob, listen, I think I got something.
00:44:54	But somewhere in the world
00:44:56	And we've got to get to him
00:44:58	Because I think they have
00:45:00	Got a pencil? Write this down. Quick.
00:45:02	Kenneth H. Dahlberg. D-A-H-L-B-E-R-G.
00:45:06	TV ANNOUNCER: McGovern, who at first
00:45:09	has more recently expressed doubts...
00:45:11	and said that Eagleton
00:45:14	whether to stay or leave the ticket.
00:45:17	You're the one that wanted the articles...
00:45:19	-on Dahlberg, Kenneth H. Dahlberg?
00:45:21	Couldn't find anything in the clip file at all.
00:45:23	Oh, wonderful.
00:45:25	I did find one picture though,
00:45:30	Thanks.
00:45:37	Minnesota.
00:45:44	Minneapolis....
00:46:01	MAN: [On TV] I base that conclusion
00:46:06	and my close personal
00:46:10	BOB: Outside line, please.
00:46:12	-Thank you.
00:46:13	that we have reached tonight,
00:46:18	But the public debate...
00:46:20	over Senator Eagleton's
00:46:24	continues to divert attention
00:46:28	that need to be discussed.
00:46:30	I have referred to
00:46:34	for Senator Eagleton's withdrawal.
00:46:38	DAHLBERG: Hello?
00:46:39	-Could I please.... Mr. Dahlberg?
00:46:41	-Kenneth Dahlberg?
00:46:44	This is Bob Woodward
00:46:48	-Yes?
00:46:51	deposited in the bank account
00:46:53	Mr. Bernard Barker....
00:46:57	As you know, sir,
00:47:01	We were doing a story on this...
00:47:03	and I was wondering if
00:47:06	I turn all my money
00:47:09	What committee is that, sir?
00:47:12	-Yes.
00:47:16	I raise a lot of money.
00:47:21	For the Committee to Re-Elect?
00:47:23	-Hello?
00:47:26	How do you think your check got into the
00:47:30	I'm a proper citizen. What I do is proper.
00:47:35	Oh, I understand.
00:47:36	I've just been through a terrible ordeal.
00:47:39	My neighbor's wife has been kidnapped.
00:47:42	How do you think your check

00:48:18	OPERATOR: Committee to Re-Elect
00:48:19	Could I speak to Mr. Clark MacGregor?

00:48:27	This is Bob Woodward

00:48:32	This is Bob Woodward
00:48:34	I just spoke to a Mr. Kenneth Dahlberg...
00:48:36	who says that he is
00:48:38	Yeah, I know Ken Dahlberg.
00:48:40	Well, I can't seem to get an explanation
00:48:43	for $25,000 made out to Mr. Dahlberg...
00:48:45	that he apparently sent to the Committee
00:48:48	would end up in the bank account
00:48:50	I don't know.
00:48:51	-But you're head of the Committee, sir.
00:48:54	John Mitchell was the head
00:48:56	Well, what would the explanation
00:48:58	I don't know.
00:48:59	You're implying that I should know...
00:49:01	and if you print that,
00:49:05	Sir, we don't have a relationship.
00:49:07	MACGREGOR: The issues of the campaign
00:49:10	not a campaign check.

00:49:32	Can I call you right back, sir?
00:49:34	-Yeah, okay.
00:49:36	Yes. I'm sorry I hung up before.
00:49:39	I wasn't sure you were
00:49:42	I believe we were talking about
00:49:46	Obviously this is difficult for me.
00:49:50	I'm caught in the middle
00:49:53	I don't know what.
00:49:55	What do you think it could be?
00:49:58	I deal with a lot of important people.
00:50:00	People who work
00:50:02	For the Committee.
00:50:04	-The Committee to Re-Elect the President?
00:50:06	You see, I raised that money in cash...
00:50:09	and I have a winter home in Florida.
00:50:11	-Is that Miami?
00:50:15	and I didn't want to carry
00:50:17	-Now, you can understand that.
00:50:20	So, I had it exchanged
00:50:23	And how do you think
00:50:28	I know I shouldn't be telling you this....
00:50:33	I gave it to Mr. Stans.
00:50:38	I beg your pardon?
00:50:40	I gave it to Stans.
00:50:42	Maurice Stans?
00:50:44	-The head of finance for Nixon?
00:50:47	Now what he did with it,
00:50:51	I see. Were there any other checks
00:50:55	That's all I have to say.
00:50:58	Mr. MacGregor.... Mr. Dahlberg...
00:51:01	I'm sorry. Thank you very much.
00:51:13	[Telephone ringing]
00:51:15	[Typewriter clicking]

00:51:25	-Yeah?
00:51:26	-Bernstein.
00:51:28	-I just.... I got it.
00:51:29	I just talked to him.
00:51:31	Bernstein, listen,
00:51:33	-What're you talking about?
00:51:35	He gave the check to Stans
00:51:37	-Did he say that?
00:51:40	-Jesus.
00:51:42	That money winds up in the bank account
00:51:44	-Yes!
00:51:46	Okay.
00:51:49	TV ANNOUNCER: ...catapulted

00:52:12	Incidentally, that's a great parallel story...
00:52:15	if you're going to do that piece on détente.
00:52:18	Right, "Queen Elizabeth proclaims
00:52:20	"to deal with what we call a 'dock strike."'

00:53:30	They want a 17% increase in pay
00:53:34	Harry, I think we could mention
00:53:38	to go to the front page
00:53:40	-Oh, come on!
00:53:42	Ben, this time it could go all the way.
00:53:45	The House is going to vote next week
00:53:48	Okay then, well, when they pass it,
00:53:50	Okay, fellas,
00:53:53	Taiwan emergency, Philippines.
00:53:55	Okay, fine. National?
00:53:56	I'll stand on the Eagleton follow-ups...
00:53:58	McGovern not being able
00:54:00	He's offered it to Humphrey, Kennedy,
00:54:02	That's the Page 1 lead right there.
00:54:04	You're ignoring the importance
00:54:06	Nobody cares about
00:54:09	Now look, it was our story
00:54:11	to start an audit with CREEP Finance.
00:54:13	We printed that didn't we? When the
00:54:17	Let me tell you what happened today.
00:54:19	I was having lunch
00:54:24	this White House guy, a good one, a pro...
00:54:26	came up and asked me, "What is this
00:54:29	Compulsion? This is a story.
00:54:32	I said, "Well, we think it's important."
00:54:35	"If it's so goddamn important, who in
00:54:39	Now, what do you expect him to say
00:54:41	"You're doing a great job"?
00:54:42	Why don't you ask him
00:54:44	He wants to take the story away
00:54:47	-give it to his National desk.
00:54:49	some experienced guys sitting around
00:54:51	-who have the contacts.
00:54:54	You said it. Sitting around.
00:54:56	Ben, it's a dangerous story for this paper.
00:54:59	-What if your boys get it wrong?
00:55:03	We all have to go out
00:55:06	National gets eight columns.
00:55:08	Nine for Foreign.
00:55:10	Metro, 15.
00:55:13	That's it, fellas.
00:55:18	Hey, Scott, I need to see you.
00:55:22	How dangerous?
00:55:28	Well, it's not just that we're using
00:55:32	or that everything we print,
00:55:36	or that almost no other papers
00:55:39	What then?
00:55:41	Look, there are over 2,000 reporters
00:55:43	are there five on Watergate?
00:55:46	Where did the Washington Post
00:55:51	Why would the Republicans do it?
00:55:53	McGovern is self-destructing, just like
00:55:59	I don't believe their story.
00:56:02	It doesn't make sense.
00:56:06	Yeah, Bernstein.
00:56:08	Now? All right.
00:56:10	Woodward, Bradlee will see us now.
00:56:13	Answer the phone for me, will you?
00:56:14	Are you trying to find the
00:56:35	Ben, it's the hottest item.
00:56:37	-It's in over 500 papers.
00:56:39	Yesterday's weather report
00:56:41	and slept all day.
00:56:42	Jesus! Send it out...
00:56:43	to the San Francisco Chronicle.
00:56:45	-How about the crossword puzzle?
00:56:46	Anagrams?
00:56:48	-No space, Mickey.
00:56:50	The last thing you bought
00:56:53	-Make him buy something, will you?
00:56:55	Hey, what do you guys want?
00:56:56	The GAO report's due out
00:56:59	Sit down.
00:57:01	Well, that's two weeks from now.
00:57:04	Since they're only responsible
00:57:05	there's no way the White House
00:57:08	There's a source over
00:57:11	there's a whole rat's nest
00:57:14	-Like what?
00:57:16	Hundreds of thousands of dollars
00:57:19	Hundreds of thousands of dollars?
00:57:20	Any comment from CREEP?
00:57:21	Yes. Unavailable for comment.
00:57:24	But what else besides the money?
00:57:29	The money's the key to whatever this is.
00:57:31	-Says who?
00:57:32	-Who?
00:57:35	his source in the executive--
00:57:36	Garage freak? Jesus, what kind of a crazy,
00:57:40	Who did you say?
00:57:44	He's on deep background.
00:57:49	Look, McGovern's dropped to nothing...
00:57:51	Nixon's guaranteed the renomination...
00:57:52	and the Post is stuck
00:57:55	lt'll sink the goddamn paper.
00:57:56	Everyone says, "Get off it, Ben."
00:57:59	and I say, "You'll see.
00:58:01	But the truth is,
00:58:07	What else are you working on?
00:58:09	We're after a list of CREEP employees.
00:58:11	-Where is it?
00:58:13	-How are you gonna get it?
00:58:16	Get some.
00:58:23	Anything else?
00:58:33	You made a mistake in there.
00:58:39	What?
00:58:40	You said to Brad
00:58:42	and that's the thing that he jumps on.
00:58:45	If you can't talk in specifics,
00:58:54	Is there any place you don't smoke?
00:58:58	-What?
00:59:00	-What're you doing?
00:59:02	BOB: Doesn't she go with a guy that
00:59:05	KAY: The E.R.
00:59:07	-Eddy? Hey. Kay, can--
00:59:10	-757-6521.
00:59:14	Don't you go with a guy that works
00:59:19	-Not anymore.
00:59:21	I think you were engaged to him,
00:59:22	-Yeah.
00:59:26	-So?
00:59:31	Look, we need a list of the people
00:59:33	Do you think that....
00:59:35	-I can't do that.
00:59:38	It's personal.
00:59:39	What do you mean? You said it was over.
00:59:44	You're asking me to use a guy
00:59:46	CARL: No.
00:59:48	Well, sure--
00:59:49	CARL: ...just to help us.
00:59:52	My only chance of getting that story
00:59:54	I don't want to see him again.
00:59:56	-Do you have to see him?
00:59:58	No. Do you have to see him that way?
00:59:59	Can't you just call him up
01:00:01	and say you want to have
01:00:03	You say the relationship is over.
01:00:08	Forget it.
01:00:10	We don't want you to do anything
01:00:12	or that you don't feel right about.
01:00:15	Forget it.
01:00:25	Don't let her just get off.
01:00:28	You just overdramatized it,
01:00:30	It's over.
01:00:31	-What?
01:01:16	CARL: Is this the whole list?
01:01:17	BOB: Look what it says. "Personnel,
01:01:22	CARL: This is all in alphabetical order.
01:01:25	BOB: Well, find out the department heads
01:01:28	CARL: Here. John Mitchell.
01:01:30	BOB: What's the number?
01:01:31	BOB: All right. Find somebody
01:01:34	BOB: They probably work for him.
01:01:36	Okay.
01:01:39	CARL: We have to find out how the money
01:01:42	BOB: Somebody who worked in Finance.
01:01:45	CARL: All right. Here's the head of Finance.
01:01:48	BOB: If we can just get somebody
01:01:52	CARL: Sloan? You need him?
01:01:54	BOB: What's the number?
01:01:56	BOB: Is there a secretary?
01:01:59	BOB: Wait a minute. Manley.
01:02:03	1406 Lee Jackson Memorial Highway.
01:02:06	-Hi, I'm Bob Woodward.
01:02:08	We're from the Washington Post.
01:02:09	We'd like to know if we could
01:02:11	We understand your daughter works
01:02:14	-Wouldn't be anything embarrassing.
01:02:19	-Yes?
01:02:20	Miss Milland? Betty Milland?
01:02:21	-I'm Bob Woodward.
01:02:23	We're from the Washington Post.
01:02:24	I know you're trying to do your job.
01:02:28	You don't understand
01:02:30	It'll just take a couple of seconds.
01:02:33	-No, I really don't--
01:02:35	We understand that there was
01:02:37	that were shredded at the Committee.
01:02:38	Well, there....
01:02:40	There's often shredding. We do that a lot.
01:02:42	-Were you there during the shredding?
01:02:45	I see.
01:02:47	the Committee who were also present?
01:02:49	Yes. Mr. Mitchell came in one night.
01:02:52	John Mitchell? The Attorney General?
01:02:54	He was carrying a raincoat over his head.
01:02:58	I thought he was going to go....
01:03:01	Did he supervise the shredding?
01:03:03	Can I not answer any more questions?
01:03:06	Okay? Maybe I could call you?
01:03:09	-Are you being told not to talk?
01:03:13	I don't know.
01:03:15	I'll try.
01:03:16	What about all that shredding
01:03:19	Need to know more about the papers
01:03:21	I think you've some idea
01:03:22	when the former Attorney General
01:03:24	when it's taking place
01:03:26	and got a raincoat over his head.
01:03:28	Could be raining
01:03:29	Let me go through the story again.
01:03:31	You got a woman who's frightened
01:03:33	She said there's shredding taking place.
01:03:36	We know the former Attorney General
01:03:39	It could be raining.
01:03:41	We don't know what he asked them.
01:03:43	Now, will you please tell me
01:03:45	There's a story in the fact that the
01:03:48	but in the office
01:03:50	How's there a story in that?
01:03:51	There's a story
01:03:53	-I mean, you're more resistant than she is.
01:03:55	-Why?
01:03:58	CARL: Let's just turn around and go back
01:04:03	-This won't take long at all. We just want--
01:04:06	Will you please leave before they see you.
01:04:09	-Who did you mean by--
01:04:12	Could you give us their names?
01:04:13	We haven't revealed the sources
01:04:18	You know, I really can't talk
01:04:20	Would "they" be members
01:04:25	CARL: Someone got to that woman.
01:04:26	It's the key to the whole cover-up.
01:04:28	How can you write that
01:04:30	We don't know that there's a cover-up!
01:04:31	Well, then, I don't know
01:04:33	So, you tell me what you need.
01:04:36	I need more fact for a story
01:04:38	and I think you should
01:04:39	Okay, if you get in the car...
01:04:41	and there's music playing
01:04:44	There's music playing in the car
01:04:46	and there's no commercial.
01:04:48	-Is it AM or FM?
01:04:50	Is it AM or FM?
01:04:51	A guy can come up to me on the street
01:04:55	Now, is the man interrogating me,
01:04:58	What kind of a story do I write?
01:04:59	What kind of a deduction
01:05:01	Because you don't have a gut feeling
01:05:04	No, I don't have enough gut feeling
01:05:08	We're from the Washington Post....
01:05:10	[Door slamming]
01:05:13	[Door slamming]
01:05:14	BOB: Abbott, Addis, Agusto, Albus....
01:05:25	BOB: Is there something that
01:05:28	-What?
01:05:30	to the way they're not talking.
01:05:31	The way they say "no"all the time.
01:05:35	-Mrs. Hambling?
01:05:36	Hi, we're from the Washington Post.
01:05:39	I'm Carl Bernstein, this is Bob Woodward.
01:05:41	A friend of the Committee said
01:05:44	-Who was it?
01:05:46	You can talk to us.
01:05:48	You people....
01:05:51	You think you can come into my home,
01:05:54	have me destroy the reputations
01:06:00	Do you understand loyalty?
01:06:03	Have you ever heard of loyalty?
01:06:06	-Hi.
01:06:07	I'm Bob Woodward.
01:06:08	Carl Bernstein.
01:06:10	Yes.
01:06:11	I've read what you've written.
01:06:15	I've been a Republican all my life,
01:06:18	Would you mind if we asked you
01:06:21	No. Come in. Would you like coffee?
01:06:24	Sure.
01:06:26	What they've done
01:06:29	It goes against everything we stand for.
01:06:31	Could you be a little bit more specific
01:06:34	I'm afraid your articles
01:06:36	You don't mind if I just take a few notes,
01:06:39	No.
01:06:41	How long have you worked
01:06:44	Committee?
01:06:45	Yes, the Committee
01:06:49	Oh, I don't work at the Committee
01:06:53	I work at Garfinkel's,
01:07:00	-Miss Abbott?
01:07:04	Judith Abbott?
01:07:08	Carolyn Abbott.
01:07:12	We're just doing something wrong.
01:07:17	-Never been there.
01:07:20	We're doing something wrong.
01:07:22	It's just not good enough.
01:07:24	How can you keep going at something
01:07:28	We just have to start all over again.
01:07:35	CARL: Nasmith, Narrow, Ness...
01:07:38	Nickels, Nixon....
01:07:40	BOB: Ed Nixon.
01:07:42	Jolson, Jones...
01:07:45	Jordan, Jost.
01:07:47	CARL: If we could only get somebody
01:07:50	I can't believe it.
01:07:51	BOB: What about the bookkeeper?
01:07:53	BOB: The bookkeeper that worked
01:07:55	CARL: Oh, you're all right.
01:07:57	CARL: I've been there. I've called her twice.
01:08:00	BOB: I say we should start again.
01:08:02	Abbott, Addis, Agusto...
01:08:05	Albus, Aldus, Alexander...
01:08:09	CARL: Balowski, Clan, Donstille...
01:08:12	Boyle, Brenner, Bromley...
01:08:15	BOB: Jost, Nasmith...
01:08:18	CARL: Narrow, Ness, Nickels...
01:08:21	BOB: Martini, Sandstrom...
01:08:25	Skroes, Skully....
01:08:28	Skully. We've been there twice.
01:08:30	All right, Willcox, Windfall, Winter--
01:08:35	Two weeks' work, half the names
01:08:38	People aren't talking, Harry.
01:08:40	And it's the way they're not talking
01:08:43	Harry, we've been up all night.
01:08:46	-Slamming doors in our faces.
01:08:49	Want to hear some real news?
01:08:51	That GAO report
01:08:53	well, it 's been postponed
01:08:56	-What do you mean?
01:08:59	Says he has new information,
01:09:01	They're going to bury the report
01:09:04	The Grand Jury indictment will be out
01:09:06	the indictment will stop at the five
01:09:10	And that's the end of your story.
01:09:16	FORD: [On TV] The vote
01:09:22	The vote for Richard Nixon...

01:10:37	[Crowd cheering on TV]
01:10:59	[Doorbell jingling]
01:11:00	Hi, I'm Carl Bernstein
01:11:03	I just want to ask you
01:11:05	Well, you don't want me.
01:11:07	It's for you. It's Carl Bernstein.
01:11:10	Oh, my God. He's the guy from the Post.
01:11:12	Could I just borrow one
01:11:14	Sure.
01:11:16	You've really got to go.
01:11:18	Sure. Could I just get a match?
01:11:21	I can understand your being afraid.
01:11:22	There's a lot of people
01:11:25	who wanted to tell the truth
01:11:28	Certain people have gone back
01:11:31	to give information
01:11:36	You were Hugh Sloan's bookkeeper when
01:11:39	and we were just wondering if you were...
01:11:42	promoted to work for Mr. Stans
01:11:46	or whether there was some time lapse?
01:11:52	I never worked for Sloan or Stans.
01:11:57	Can I get you some coffee or something?
01:12:00	Yeah. Thanks very much.
01:12:04	[Doorbell jingling]
01:12:06	Door sticks.
01:12:11	Could I just sit down for a second?
01:12:16	Sure, you can sit down,
01:12:21	Okay.
01:12:43	I was just curious why you lied just then.
01:12:46	Have you been threatened
01:12:50	No.
01:12:52	Never in so many words.
01:12:54	-How do you like it?
01:12:55	-Thanks.
01:12:58	I saw in the wires
01:13:02	Is she feeling better?
01:13:08	The GAO, the General Accounting
01:13:12	there was $350,000 in the safe of
01:13:18	Were you aware that it was that kind
01:13:25	A lot of people are watching me.
01:13:29	Was it all in $100 bills?
01:13:31	A lot of it was.
01:13:34	I thought it was
01:13:36	you know, for taking fat cats to dinner,
01:13:39	$350,000 for dinners?
01:13:44	How was it paid out?
01:13:50	Not in one big chunk.
01:13:54	There was a list of 15 names
01:13:56	given to each person next to the name.
01:13:59	What happened to the list?
01:14:03	It was destroyed. It was the only record.
01:14:08	Don't pay attention to this.
01:14:13	I have a very bad memory.
01:14:16	You won't be quoted by name.
01:14:18	In fact, we get confirmations
01:14:21	I can't be...
01:14:23	positive that that money was used
01:14:26	Yes, I do.
01:14:27	-But, people sure are worried.
01:14:37	Think you could help me
01:14:41	in terms of the number of people
01:14:47	A group of them. About five.
01:14:49	Would Mr. Sloan know?
01:14:57	-Would he--
01:15:09	I won't be much longer.
01:15:12	I wondered if you could just
01:15:17	the money. We hear all kinds of figures.
01:15:23	-There's so much of it.
01:15:27	In one two-day period, $6 million came in.
01:15:31	-Six!
01:15:36	We didn't know where to put it all.
01:15:39	I thought it was all legal.
01:15:42	after the break-in when I remembered
01:15:45	-This is Mr. Liddy?
01:15:49	It's getting worse.
01:15:52	And the only one I care about
01:15:55	His wife was going to leave him if he
01:15:59	So, he quit.
01:16:02	I was wondering...
01:16:05	if Hugh Sloan was being set up now
01:16:11	What do you think?
01:16:20	If you guys could get John Mitchell,
01:16:31	Coffee's cold.
01:16:35	Is there any evidence that...
01:16:38	any of Mr. Mitchell's assistants...
01:16:42	were part of this?
01:16:44	I had all the evidence. It was destroyed.
01:16:48	-I think Gordon did a lot of shredding.
01:16:51	Well, I can't say that it would positively
01:16:55	but it would come pretty close.
01:16:57	Can you tell me anything
01:17:02	We have...
01:17:04	had some help on this
01:17:08	and this is a way of confirming it.
01:17:14	I don't want you to feel
01:17:16	where you have to disclose names.
01:17:18	I can just ask you initials...
01:17:21	and then that way you're not
01:17:24	We have some idea.
01:17:32	Was there an "M"?
01:17:36	Can you just nod either way?
01:17:40	Did it go that high up?
01:17:45	"L"?
01:17:48	I don't want to say any more, okay?
01:17:50	I'm sorry. You said "L"...
01:17:53	or...I get confused.
01:17:55	Could we just go back for a second?
01:17:57	In one six-day period,
01:18:00	You wouldn't believe what
01:18:02	The stuff was just ready to pour out.
01:18:03	I'm pouring down cups of coffee
01:18:05	before she throws me out of the house.
01:18:07	-Give me your notes so--
01:18:08	-These are the notes?
01:18:11	I'm writing in the bathroom
01:18:13	-I'm a walking litter basket!
01:18:15	You'd be crazy, too,
01:18:17	Could you give me something
01:18:19	I got it. I got it all.
01:18:20	Okay. Write.
01:18:22	-Mitchell was in control.
01:18:25	-There were men working under Mitchell--
01:18:27	I don't know how many,
01:18:29	received the money from the slush fund.
01:18:31	Do we know how much money?
01:18:32	We're talking about
01:18:34	And these men are the key
01:18:37	Boy, that woman was paranoid.
01:18:39	At one point, I suddenly wondered
01:18:41	and her paranoia finally got to me.
01:18:43	I thought what we had was so hot,
01:18:45	would come in through the windows
01:18:47	You're both paranoid.
01:18:48	She's afraid of John Mitchell,
01:18:51	-Right.
01:18:54	Here. "L," "P," and "M."
01:18:58	-What do you mean?
01:18:59	-She'd only give initials.
01:19:01	The initials are the name of the men that
01:19:04	You couldn't get the names?
01:19:08	If I could've gotten the names,
01:19:10	I'm with the woman,
01:19:11	She said "L," "P," and "M,"
01:19:13	are the people who worked under Mitchell.
01:19:15	She said something about Mitchell.
01:19:18	She said, "John Mitchell....
01:19:19	"If you guys could get John Mitchell,
01:19:22	Wait a minute, what's this here?
01:19:24	"Sloan was the treasurer
01:19:26	"His wife is pregnant and she made
01:19:29	"he no longer wanted to be a part of it."
01:19:30	We've got to go see Sloan.
01:19:32	Okay. Make a note of it.
01:19:34	Where's that matchbook?
01:19:35	-Here.
01:19:37	Okay, "L," "P," and "M."
01:19:38	-"L" could be La Rue. It could be Liddy.
01:19:41	-How do we know that?
01:19:43	Right here.
01:19:45	"there was so much money
01:19:47	"that I know Gordon got part of it."
01:19:48	So I said, "You mean Gordon Liddy?"
01:19:50	So, "L" is Liddy.
01:19:52	"P" could be...
01:19:55	Parkinson. It could be Porter. It could be--
01:19:58	Wait a minute! There was a guy once.
01:20:01	Didn't he say
01:20:03	who at one time was
01:20:05	Porter was called before
01:20:07	So "P" is definitely Porter.
01:20:08	"P" could be Porter.
01:20:09	"P" is Porter, "L" is Liddy.
01:20:13	"M" could be McCord? That's out.
01:20:16	It could be Mardian.
01:20:18	It could be...
01:20:20	-Magruder!
01:20:22	-I think it's Magruder, too.
01:20:24	Because he was second in command
01:20:26	Why do you think it's Magruder?
01:20:27	Because at one time
01:20:29	of the Committee to Re-Elect,
01:20:31	I don't want a cookie.
01:20:32	We've got to get that bookkeeper
01:20:35	Never get her to say anything about "M."
01:20:36	We have got to go back there
01:20:39	If we could make names of the initials...
01:20:42	then we'll know the people at CREEP
01:20:44	We'll at least know who got the money.
01:20:48	The indictments that came down
01:20:51	stopped...
01:20:53	with the five burglars, Hunt and Liddy.
01:20:56	Carl, we have got to go back there
01:20:58	to say who the names are and not initials.
01:21:00	She ain't going to give it to you...
01:21:01	because I was with the woman
01:21:03	-We have to try.
01:21:05	-She's not going to do it.
01:21:07	-You know what we could do?
01:21:12	-Listen, we go back there...
01:21:14	-...and you ask her who "P" is.
01:21:17	And then I say, "No, don't worry about it...
01:21:18	"we know 'P' is Porter." I just bury it.
01:21:20	Okay. Now, wait a minute.
01:21:22	-And then you say to me--
01:21:25	-You mean, you try to fake her out?
01:21:27	-And what if she denies it?
01:21:29	-So?
01:21:31	-We know "P" is Porter.
01:21:43	Hi.
01:21:44	They'll see you.
01:21:46	Not if you let us in, they won't.
01:21:48	And I'm Bob Woodward.
01:21:50	-They'll see your car.
01:21:54	You have answers
01:21:57	If we did, we wouldn't be here.
01:22:01	You wrote what I told you.
01:22:02	Oh, no. Not your name.
01:22:04	Could you tell us who got the money?
01:22:07	And how much?
01:22:09	You mean like, "What did you do
01:22:13	What?
01:22:15	Little jokes they're making
01:22:19	If people are to be convinced...
01:22:20	that Stans and Sloan are innocent,
01:22:23	and you can help us.
01:22:25	Who is "P"?
01:22:26	"P" we know, is Porter.
01:22:29	Is that how much Porter got?
01:22:35	Was it more?
01:22:41	Was it more than $50,000?
01:22:46	Was Magruder the only "M"
01:22:56	Who told you about Porter?
01:23:00	TV INTERVIEWER: I'd like to move on now...
01:23:02	to the subject of the break-in
01:23:05	and the controversies
01:23:07	It has recently,
01:23:10	some documents were torn up...
01:23:12	at the Committee
01:23:14	Are you investigating the tearing up
01:23:18	ATTORNEY GENERAL: I think that came out
01:23:20	-Yes.
01:23:22	that has just concluded itself...
01:23:24	has probably been
01:23:26	that the Department of Justice
01:23:30	Some 1,500 persons were interviewed...
01:23:32	1,800 leads were followed,
01:23:36	14,000 man-hours...
01:23:39	fifty-one of the 59 FBI field officers
01:23:43	And that, I think...
01:23:46	is a great credit to justice in this country.
01:23:49	Did you know
01:23:51	No, I did not.
01:23:55	All these neat little houses
01:23:59	It's hard to believe that something's
01:24:04	No, it isn't.
01:24:07	-Hello, I'm Carl Bernstein.
01:24:09	We'd just like to talk to Mr. Sloan
01:24:12	-He's resting right now.
01:24:16	-You're the two from the Post, aren't you?
01:24:20	This is an honest house.
01:24:21	That's why we'd like to see your husband.
01:24:24	Faced with certain criminal charges
01:24:26	against some people that are innocent,
01:24:28	It's really for his benefit.
01:24:30	No, it's not.
01:24:35	No, it's not.
01:24:38	SLOAN: Deborah, tell them to come in.
01:24:41	Thanks.
01:24:42	-Hi, Carl Bernstein.
01:24:44	-Bob Woodward.
01:24:46	I appreciate you giving us the time.
01:24:55	You know, the reason
01:24:57	is that we've talked
01:24:59	have indicated that the reason
01:25:01	was because you no longer
01:25:03	Yeah, right. Maybe there's
01:25:05	why the money was handed
01:25:12	Try to understand this.
01:25:15	-I'm a Republican.
01:25:17	Well, I believe in Richard Nixon.
01:25:19	I worked in the White House
01:25:22	What happened on June 17, I don't
01:25:27	Is it possible that some of his people
01:25:29	I'm not sure about that.
01:25:30	Do you think the truth
01:25:32	-That's another thing I'm not sure about.
01:25:34	Well, obviously, because certain people
01:25:37	No.
01:25:39	But the message was clear, though.
01:25:41	In other words, by their very silence,
01:25:44	Well, they didn't urge us
01:25:47	"They," meaning the White House?
01:25:49	Well, the Committee's not
01:25:51	Everything's cleared
01:25:53	And I don't think the FBI or
01:25:56	That report on the cash...
01:25:59	in the CREEP safe, that $350,000?
01:26:02	-No, more.
01:26:05	No, it was closer to $1,000,000.
01:26:09	And, as treasurer,
01:26:11	When so ordered.
01:26:13	We don't know the names of the people
01:26:15	-We just know that there were four.
01:26:18	Mitchell, Stans, Magruder,
01:26:21	-There had to be a White House overseer.
01:26:25	No, Colson's too smart to get involved
01:26:29	It's Haldeman.
01:26:33	Right?
01:26:36	I won't talk about the other two.
01:26:37	They both worked at the White House?
01:26:39	One of them did, the other one's not
01:26:43	-Kalmbach.
01:26:45	-Right?
01:26:47	I can't say anything. I'm sorry.
01:26:51	-Well....
01:26:56	Soon. Next month.
01:26:58	-Are you going to stay here?
01:27:01	Decided where you're gonna go?
01:27:03	I've been looking for a job
01:27:06	It's very hard.
01:27:11	You know, one thing I'm just
01:27:15	When you handed out the money,
01:27:18	Badly.
01:27:23	I think what Bob means is, that
01:27:27	Routine. I'd call John Mitchell
01:27:31	He'd say, "Go ahead, give out the money."
01:27:32	This was all done verbally?
01:27:35	Yes.
01:27:37	Okay, we know there were five men
01:27:40	Mitchell, Stans, and Magruder.
01:27:41	Yeah, those three we've got. And all three
01:27:44	What about the other two?
01:27:46	-Kalmbach.
01:27:48	Maybe we better wait
01:27:51	Certain on Mitchell?
01:27:52	We know that he approved payments
01:27:55	-You've got more than one source?
01:27:57	-Who are they?
01:27:58	Sloan and who else?
01:27:59	There's another guy at Justice
01:28:01	the names of the others who
01:28:04	-What about Deep Throat?
01:28:06	-But do any of them have an axe?
01:28:07	Personal, political, sexual.
01:28:09	-Is there anything at all on Mitchell?
01:28:10	-Then can we use their names?
01:28:12	God damn it! When is somebody
01:28:18	You guys are about to write a story
01:28:21	the highest ranking law enforcement
01:28:28	Just be sure you're right.
01:28:33	OPERATOR: Essex House, may I help you?
01:28:44	MITCHELL: Yes?
01:28:46	Sir, this is Carl Bernstein
01:28:48	and I'm sorry to disturb you at this hour.
01:28:50	Tomorrow we're running a story
01:28:54	and we just think that you should
01:28:59	What does it say?
01:29:01	"John M. Mitchell, while serving...
01:29:03	"as United States Attorney General...
01:29:06	"personally controlled a secret cash fund...
01:29:09	"that was used to gather information
01:29:11	-"according to"--
01:29:13	"...sources involved
01:29:15	-Jesus.
01:29:18	"almost a year before he left
01:29:20	"to become President Nixon's
01:29:22	"on March 1, Mitchell personally
01:29:26	All that crap.
01:29:29	-Well--
01:29:32	You tell your publisher,
01:29:34	she's going to get her tit caught in
01:29:37	Christ, that's the most
01:29:39	Sir, I was just wondering
01:29:42	-What time is it?
01:29:45	11:30? Is it morning or night?
01:29:48	It's 1 1 :30 at night, sir.
01:29:51	Sir, the Committee to Re-Elect
01:29:55	but there are just a couple of questions--
01:29:57	Did the Committee tell you
01:30:00	You fellows have got
01:30:02	As soon as you're done,
01:30:06	Sir, there's just a couple of questions--
01:30:08	Call my law office in the morning.
01:30:12	There's no question
01:30:15	He said it right off the top.
01:30:18	Mitchell know
01:30:20	Yeah, but I think I woke him up.
01:30:23	-Get good notes?
01:30:26	He really said that about Mrs. Graham?
01:30:30	Well, I'd cut the words "her tit"
01:30:32	Why?
01:30:33	This is a family newspaper.
01:30:39	You know, once when I was reporting...
01:30:40	Lyndon Johnson's top guy
01:30:43	They were looking for a successor
01:30:46	I wrote it and the day it appeared,
01:30:50	and appointed Hoover
01:30:53	When he was done,
01:30:56	and the President said,
01:31:00	Then everybody said,
01:31:02	"You stuck us with Hoover forever."
01:31:06	I screwed up, but I wasn't wrong.
01:31:12	How much can you tell me
01:31:16	How much do you need to know?
01:31:18	Do you trust him?
01:31:21	Yeah.
01:31:24	I can't do the reporting for my reporters
01:31:30	And I hate trusting anybody.
01:31:40	Run that, baby.
01:32:20	TV ANNOUNCER: The Washington Post
01:32:22	while still in office as Attorney General...
01:32:24	John Mitchell had personally
01:32:28	Mitchell denied any such involvement
01:32:32	The new charge also brought a response
01:32:35	at his stop in Tampa.
01:32:37	I have full confidence in Mr. Mitchell...
01:32:40	and in the people
01:32:43	And I think that that kind
01:32:47	at a time like this is counterproductive.
01:32:50	We must bear in mind
01:32:55	have already shown
01:32:58	TV ANNOUNCER: A band
01:32:59	All non-denial denials.
01:33:01	They doubt our ancestry,
01:33:04	I mean, did you understand
01:33:06	What I can't figure out is,
01:33:09	Well, if they start calling us goddamn liars,
01:33:13	When do you think they'll start doing that?
01:33:15	When they get out of Tampa.
01:33:17	CARL: Joe, come on.
01:33:20	I've been trying to get to you for weeks.
01:33:22	Your secretary says you're not in.
01:33:23	Last night I called,
01:33:25	and this morning, as soon as
01:33:28	you call me and say you've got
01:33:30	Look, you guys have been causing
01:33:33	Why?
01:33:34	Our reports are showing up
01:33:38	I mean, you've really been on the mark,
01:33:41	Now, we didn't have that...
01:33:44	-that he controlled the funds.
01:33:46	Our agents have been busting ass...
01:33:48	but we're gonna go back now
01:33:51	What I don't understand is all the people...
01:33:52	who might know details
01:33:54	the FBI hasn't even talked to.
01:33:56	And why have you conducted your
01:33:59	at CREEP headquarters...
01:34:00	instead of at their homes
01:34:03	Joe, wait a minute.
01:34:04	Why have the interviews at CREEP
01:34:07	within the presence of the lawyer
01:34:09	Look, you know I can't answer
01:34:12	-Oh, come on, I'm just--
01:34:16	I followed my orders. Period.
01:34:24	What orders?
01:34:30	CARL: Wait. Woodward!
01:34:34	Wait!
01:34:36	Bob!
01:34:40	Out of the blue. Out of the blue.
01:34:45	Okay, this morning I get a tip
01:34:48	who is now the Assistant
01:34:50	Now, the guy told me, that called me,
01:34:53	He said that Shipley was asked
01:34:55	by an old army buddy, a Donald Segretti...
01:34:58	to join a group of other lawyers...
01:35:00	for Nixon's campaign to sabotage
01:35:02	Listen, make a left when you can.
01:35:04	Sabotage Democratic candidates?
01:35:05	That's right. Now, I was able to make
01:35:08	and I got Segretti's records for the year....
01:35:10	His travel records for the years 1971-'72.
01:35:13	Does the FBI know about....
01:35:14	-Did you say left or right?
01:35:15	We're going to my place.
01:35:18	-Does the FBI know about Segretti?
01:35:21	and found out he wasn't involved
01:35:23	They didn't follow through on it.
01:35:24	-Where is he?
01:35:27	BOB: Jesus, look at this.
01:35:28	BOB: Segretti crisscrossed the country
01:35:33	He only stayed in cities
01:35:36	CARL: If the break-in is just one incident
01:35:39	that began a whole year
01:35:41	BOB: Then for the first time,
01:35:43	CARL: This isn't so crazy.
01:35:44	This thing didn't start
01:35:47	Segretti was doing this
01:35:49	And a year before,
01:35:50	He was running behind Muskie,
01:35:54	If he self-destructed.
01:35:57	-Hi. Donald Segretti?
01:36:00	I'm Carl Bernstein
01:36:03	Hi.
01:36:05	What can I do for you?
01:36:07	Well, my paper just sent me out here
01:36:11	Why me?
01:36:13	I guess because you were
01:36:15	of Nixon's sabotage campaign
01:36:19	-Carl, you want some coffee?
01:36:28	Carl, tell me something.
01:36:31	What do you imagine
01:36:33	Well, I guess basically you're involved
01:36:37	other lawyers.
01:36:38	-Lawyers?
01:36:42	I made it clear that I would not do
01:36:46	What do you mean by illegal?
01:36:48	Watergate, I mean, that's....
01:36:52	And what kind of stuff
01:36:54	Nickel-and-dime stuff.
01:36:57	Stuff. Stuff with a little wit attached to it.
01:37:01	You mean, when you sent out
01:37:03	Senator Hubert Humphrey
01:37:06	Listen, if anything,
01:37:09	What was the one
01:37:12	that said that Scoop Jackson
01:37:16	So, sometimes it got up to a quarter.
01:37:20	I think one of the most interesting ones
01:37:24	What about it?
01:37:27	Come on. Where you claimed
01:37:30	No, I didn't write that.
01:37:32	Do you know who did?
01:37:34	Carl, when you guys print it in the papers,
01:37:37	Smart guy, Donald.
01:37:39	You're no dummy.
01:37:41	I'm a lawyer, Carl.
01:37:44	I'm a lawyer. I'm a good lawyer...
01:37:47	and I'll probably wind up
01:37:51	and I don't know what I did
01:38:01	I'll tell you something.
01:38:04	I didn't go looking for the job.
01:38:05	Well, that's important.
01:38:08	Chapin came to you.
01:38:17	You know what?
01:38:18	It's funny, but I keep forgetting that
01:38:22	You were friends at SC, you and Chapin.
01:38:26	There was me...
01:38:28	Dwight...
01:38:29	Ziegler...
01:38:31	all the USC mafia.
01:38:33	And that's when you got involved
01:38:35	when you start to try to get your man in
01:38:39	What's that term you guys use
01:38:43	-Rat-fucking.
01:38:45	You were just doing
01:38:47	when you were out campaigning
01:38:50	Let me tell you something,
01:38:55	Look, let me ask you something, Carl.
01:38:57	What would you have done
01:39:00	been away from the real world
01:39:02	didn't know what kind of law
01:39:05	and one day you get a call
01:39:08	asking if you want to go to work
01:39:12	Chapin was the appointment
01:39:16	Yeah. Listen,
01:39:19	I don't think Dwight
01:39:21	He just did what he was told.
01:39:22	Told by who?
01:39:34	What's the topic for tonight?
01:39:41	Rat-fucking.
01:39:45	In my day it was simply known
01:39:49	In our present context...
01:39:52	it means infiltration of the Democrats.
01:39:57	Segretti won't go on the record...
01:39:59	but if he would,
01:40:04	And that would put you
01:40:08	Who?
01:40:11	Be specific.
01:40:13	How high up?
01:40:18	You'll have to find that out for yourself.
01:40:22	I don't like newspapers.
01:40:26	I don't care for inexactitude...
01:40:29	and shallowness.
01:40:32	The CREEP slush fund
01:40:35	we've just about got that nailed down.
01:40:38	Did you change cabs?
01:40:46	Yeah.
01:40:48	Does the FBI know what we know?
01:40:54	Does Justice?
01:41:00	Why haven't they done anything?
01:41:03	If it didn't deal directly with the break-in,
01:41:08	Who told them not to?
01:41:10	Don't you understand what you're on to?
01:41:16	-Mitchell knew?
01:41:20	Do you think something this size
01:41:23	Haldeman had to know, too.
01:41:24	You'll get nothing from me
01:41:31	Segretti said that--
01:41:32	Don't concentrate on Segretti.
01:41:38	The letter that destroyed
01:41:41	the Canuck letter,
01:41:43	You're missing the overall.
01:41:45	But what overall?
01:41:47	They were frightened of Muskie,
01:41:50	They wanted to run against McGovern.
01:41:54	They bugged, they followed people...
01:41:57	false press leaks, fake letters.
01:42:00	They canceled
01:42:02	They investigated
01:42:06	They planted spies, stole documents,
01:42:09	Now, don't tell me you think this is
01:42:16	The FBI and Justice know this?
01:42:21	[Car engine starting]
01:44:42	-Carl?
01:44:44	Why don't you pick up
01:44:46	-Right. You got a cigarette?
01:44:48	Who's Pete Teller?
01:44:49	I haven't the slightest idea, Carl.
01:44:52	-Carl?
01:44:55	Tell him to leave his phone number
01:44:58	Listen, do you guys know
01:45:00	Yep. I'm sorry, I'm late.
01:45:01	I just wanted to make sure
01:45:05	What? What!
01:45:08	You mean the letter that sabotaged
01:45:10	All right, come here.
01:45:12	When did he tell you this?
01:45:14	[Mumbling]
01:45:17	Gotta tell Bob.
01:45:22	-Woodward.
01:45:24	One second. Very important.... Come here.
01:45:28	Tell him what you told me.
01:45:31	Here, sit down.
01:45:34	Just exactly the way you said it to me,
01:45:38	Ken Clawson told me
01:45:40	The letter that said Muskie
01:45:42	Clawson?
01:45:43	The Deputy Director of White House
01:45:46	-When did he tell you this?
01:45:48	-Where were you?
01:45:50	-When did you say he told you?
01:45:52	What else did he say?
01:45:55	Come on, you're hedging.
01:45:56	You think he said it to impress you
01:45:59	-Jesus.
01:46:01	Do you think he said that to impress you,
01:46:04	Why did it take you two weeks
01:46:08	I guess I don't have the taste
01:46:15	You're claiming
01:46:17	CLAWSON: Absolutely.
01:46:19	I never told her that I wrote that letter.
01:46:21	We were just shooting the breeze
01:46:23	She's an awfully good reporter.
01:46:24	I don't remember her getting
01:46:27	Look,
01:46:29	That is a question
01:46:32	Listen. One last thing.
01:46:33	Do you remember where
01:46:36	What do you mean, where?
01:46:38	I mean, was it a restaurant,
01:46:41	Now, look.
01:46:43	but it most certainly
01:46:45	-Do you remember when it took place?
01:46:48	Did you get all that?
01:46:50	What did he say about
01:46:52	He said he forgot the entire incident.
01:46:53	-That means he didn't deny it.
01:46:55	Wichita, Kansas?
01:46:57	Yeah, he said
01:46:59	I know what he said.
01:47:01	Hey, Bob, Carl. He's on the phone.
01:47:03	-Who?
01:47:08	Get over there on line 4
01:47:12	-Four?
01:47:15	Yes, Ken.
01:47:17	Sally, for Christ's sakes,
01:47:20	Why not? What's wrong
01:47:22	You and me? In your apartment?
01:47:26	Well?
01:47:27	Jesus Christ, you just shot me down.
01:47:30	If that appears in the papers
01:47:34	-Do you know what that does?
01:47:37	You don't? You don't?
01:47:40	-There's nothing bad about it.
01:47:45	This is just incredible.
01:47:48	Well, I have a clear conscience.
01:47:50	Sally, I have a wife, and a family,
01:47:54	She said that he was in her house
01:47:56	Now, look, I don't care where it happened.
01:47:59	When we asked him about it,
01:48:02	BRADLEE: Yeah?
01:48:05	-Ken Clawson on the line.
01:48:10	Ken. What's up, kid?
01:48:12	Ben, now, look, this whole thing
01:48:14	I want you to know that I never
01:48:17	Says he never wrote the letter.
01:48:19	It's some kind of misunderstanding,
01:48:22	Slow down, Ken. You sound frazzled.
01:48:25	Now, Ben, please, listen.
01:48:26	If you're going to refer to that
01:48:30	you can't print that it took place
01:48:32	I have a wife, and a family,
01:48:35	"A wife, and a family,
01:48:37	Right, Ken, right. Yeah.
01:48:39	Now, Ken, I don't want to print
01:48:42	Thank God.
01:48:44	I just want to know what you said
01:48:48	[Telephone ringing]
01:48:59	CARL: Hello.
01:49:01	I just got a tip from our FBI source.
01:49:04	-Jesus.
01:49:06	Chapin hired Segretti, we know that.
01:49:09	Haldeman has to be the fifth name
01:49:13	Sloan knows.
01:49:16	We've only got four out of the five
01:49:19	It has to be Haldeman.
01:49:20	I don't think we've got it.
01:49:22	We know the fifth
01:49:24	But no one has said it.
01:49:26	-No one's denied it.
01:49:32	If you go to bed at night
01:49:34	when you wake up
01:49:36	you can say it snowed during the night,
01:49:39	But if we can't prove the fifth man
01:49:41	Everything in that campaign
01:49:43	We know that everybody
01:49:45	does so with his knowledge.
01:49:47	And everybody is under Haldeman,
01:49:49	Common sense says it's Haldeman.
01:49:53	If we go and see Sloan...
01:49:55	and we tell him that we know that
01:50:01	Then all we would need to do
01:50:04	Right.
01:50:05	-Want to do it that way?
01:50:08	Let's go back and see Sloan.
01:50:14	We can't go now 'cause he's not home yet.
01:50:17	He may not be answering,
01:50:28	[Rapping at door]
01:50:34	-Hi.
01:50:35	Listen, we've already written the story.
01:50:37	Deborah's in the hospital
01:50:39	-Two questions?
01:50:41	Two questions?
01:50:46	The cash that financed
01:50:48	five men had control of the fund.
01:50:50	Mitchell, Stans, Magruder, Kalmbach.
01:50:53	-We just found out Haldeman's the fifth.
01:50:56	We're not asking you to be our source.
01:50:58	I'm not your source on Haldeman.
01:51:00	Okay, look, when you were questioned
01:51:02	You had to name names.
01:51:03	-Of course, everything they asked, yes.
01:51:09	I don't know.... Say we wrote a story
01:51:12	was the fifth name to control the fund.
01:51:13	-Would we be in any trouble?
01:51:20	Let me put it this way.
01:51:22	I would have no problems
01:51:25	-You wouldn't?
01:51:28	-That's okay. Yeah.
01:51:31	-Oh, you had a baby.
01:51:33	-Little boy or girl?
01:51:34	It's a girl.
01:51:36	-Congratulations.
01:51:37	-We're sorry to bother you.
01:51:39	-Will you give our best to her?
01:51:45	Well, I think that, Woodward,
01:51:48	that the FBI, in its entire inquiry,
01:51:51	Or did any inquiries into the second
01:51:54	JOE: You don't seem to understand.
01:51:56	No, you get nothing about Haldeman
01:51:59	But we don't need to know anything, Joe.
01:52:00	Tomorrow we're going
01:52:03	Now, what does that mean?
01:52:04	And we're going to establish
01:52:06	that you guys just about blew
01:52:08	Oh, no, we didn't miss so much.
01:52:10	You didn't know Haldeman
01:52:12	Oh, yes, we did. It's all in our files.
01:52:14	-Not about Haldeman.
01:52:16	Look, now, look, I'm very busy.
01:52:21	That's the confirmation right there.
01:52:25	Wait a minute, wait a sec.
01:52:28	-He said Haldeman.
01:52:30	What the hell difference does it make
01:52:32	There's only one Haldeman.
01:52:33	Yeah, well, Isaiah or David
01:52:37	I don't know, it still feels thin.
01:52:39	Christ, I just wish we knew
01:52:41	Now wait a minute,
01:52:43	but once they did, they're fair game!
01:52:45	Harry, let's go over your sources again.
01:52:47	Sloan told the Grand Jury.
01:52:50	That means
01:52:52	He told the Grand Jury, the FBI confirms.
01:52:55	I happen to love this country.
01:52:56	You know, we're not a bunch of zanies
01:52:58	Harry, weren't you arguing
01:53:00	No, not at all.
01:53:02	All right, now hold it.
01:53:03	One thing has nothing to do
01:53:05	We're about to accuse Haldeman
01:53:08	the second-most-important man
01:53:09	of conducting a criminal conspiracy
01:53:12	It would be nice if we were right.
01:53:14	-Have you double-checked your sources?
01:53:16	-Bernstein, are you sure on this story?
01:53:19	-Woodward?
01:53:21	I'm not. It still seems thin.
01:53:24	Get another source.
01:53:25	How many fucking sources
01:53:31	-Are you sure Deep Throat won't confirm?
01:53:35	What about the guy in Justice?
01:53:36	You can't call him.
01:53:38	-We have no choice. It's trouble.
01:53:40	I don't even know
01:53:57	OPERATOR: Dr. Kissinger's office.
01:54:04	Do you know when you expect him back?
01:54:06	No, sir. I believe he's left for the evening.
01:54:08	If you'd like to leave a message....
01:54:12	Hi, this is Carl.
01:54:14	but we're going with the story
01:54:16	in control of the fund
01:54:18	We've got three confirmations.
01:54:21	LAWYER: I won't say anything
01:54:23	I understand.
01:54:24	We know it's against the law
01:54:26	If there's a way you could warn us
01:54:29	I'd really like to help you, but I can't.
01:54:31	Look, I'm going to count to 10, all right?
01:54:34	If there's any reason
01:54:36	hang up the phone before I get to 10.
01:54:37	If the story's all right, you just be on
01:54:41	-Hang up, right?
01:54:43	-You got it?
01:54:44	We're straight. All right,
01:54:47	-We all right?
01:54:48	Okay, I'm counting.
01:54:50	One, two...
01:54:52	three, four, five...
01:54:56	six, seven...
01:54:59	eight, nine, ten.
01:55:05	You got it straight now? Everything okay?
01:55:08	Everything's fine.
01:55:13	Woodward!
01:55:19	We got it.
01:55:23	-He confirmed.
01:55:24	I said if I get up to 10
01:55:26	-Did he confirm it?
01:55:28	We've got to tell Bradlee!
01:55:38	Bernstein got another source.
01:55:42	If there's any doubt,
01:55:43	You don't have to. The story's solid.
01:55:45	I just got off the phone with him. It's gold.
01:55:49	Okay, we go with it.
01:56:04	Woodstein!
01:56:20	-You know what it's about?
01:56:23	TV ANNOUNCER: Sloan, who resigned
01:56:25	after the Watergate break-in...
01:56:27	showed up for a deposition
01:56:29	disclosure of campaign contributions,
01:56:33	Mr. Sloan, would you care to comment
01:56:36	I'd like my attorney
01:56:38	Gentlemen, the answer is
01:56:40	Mr. Sloan did not implicate Mr. Haldeman
01:56:43	It is in his testimony
01:56:45	-that it was an espionage fund?
01:56:47	Did he mention any use of funds
01:56:49	None, whatsoever. Thank you, gentlemen.
01:56:51	TV ANNOUNCER: He expanded his denial
01:56:54	and to all federal authorities.
01:56:57	News Secretary Ronald Ziegler
01:57:00	on the Washington Post.
01:57:02	ZIEGLER: Why is the Post trying to do it?
01:57:06	who is the editor of the Washington Post
01:57:09	I think anyone
01:57:13	what his political persuasions are, would...
01:57:16	I think come to the conclusion,
01:57:18	that he is not a supporter
01:57:21	I respect the free press.
01:57:23	I don't respect the type of journalism...
01:57:26	the shabby journalism that is
01:57:30	All I know is that the story
01:57:34	is incorrect and it's been so...
01:57:37	stated as being incorrect...
01:57:39	by not only me, but by the individual...
01:57:42	whose Grand Jury,
01:57:45	they based their story on.
01:57:47	And that individual has denied
01:57:51	TV ANNOUNCER: No sooner had
01:57:53	than the President's campaign manager...
01:57:54	Clark MacGregor, met with reporters.
01:57:56	MACGREGOR: Using innuendo...
01:57:58	third-person hearsay...
01:58:00	unsubstantiated charges,
01:58:03	and huge, scare headlines...
01:58:05	the Post has maliciously
01:58:08	of a direct connection between
01:58:11	A charge which the Post knows...
01:58:13	and half a dozen investigations
01:58:17	The hallmark of the Post campaign
01:58:21	and its celebrated double standard
01:58:25	I'm not talking to you about
01:58:28	-Then what went wrong?
01:58:29	Just tell us what went wrong?
01:58:30	Didn't you say that the FBI had
01:58:33	-No.
01:58:34	from the conversation
01:58:36	We have to go talk to your boss
01:58:39	What the hell are you talking about?
01:58:41	We're not trying
01:58:43	We're just trying to find out
01:58:45	If we made a mistake,
01:58:47	Just tell us if we're wrong.
01:58:51	I'm not talking about it.
01:58:53	I am not talking to you
01:58:56	In fact, I can't even be seen talking
01:58:58	-What are you afraid of? Who got to you?
01:59:03	-Are we, Joe? Tell us!
01:59:04	-Just tell us, we won't print it.
01:59:07	And fuck you!
01:59:15	Honest to God, I just don't know.
01:59:16	-Oh, I see.
01:59:19	Yeah, we had another call on a long list
01:59:23	-Did you mean Bob Haldeman?
01:59:28	Jesus, what was our mistake?
01:59:30	Maybe there was no mistake.
01:59:32	Then they're just setting us up.
01:59:38	And they just hung us.
01:59:40	More denunciations.
01:59:43	One senator just gave a speech
01:59:47	I knew we had enemies,
01:59:51	Wow, look at this.
01:59:55	My non-denial denial.
02:00:05	Fuck it, let's stand by the boys.
02:00:08	Okay. Foreign?
02:00:11	All right, here's our headline.
02:00:13	Radio Hanoi reports the
02:00:16	for a settlement of the Vietnam War.
02:00:19	[Telephone ringing]
02:00:26	CARL: Woodward, what did you find out?
02:00:28	What time is it?
02:00:30	-You fell asleep?
02:01:53	DEEP THROAT: Over here.
02:02:17	You let Haldeman slip away.
02:02:19	Yes.
02:02:20	You've done worse
02:02:22	You've got people feeling sorry for him.
02:02:26	In a conspiracy like this...
02:02:28	you build from the outer edges
02:02:31	If you shoot too high and miss,
02:02:35	-You put the investigation back months.
02:02:39	And if we're wrong, we're resigning.
02:02:43	Were we wrong?
02:02:46	You'll have to find that out, won't you?
02:02:48	Listen, I'm tired
02:02:52	I don't want hints.
02:02:54	I need to know what you know.
02:03:12	It was a Haldeman operation.
02:03:15	The whole business was run by Haldeman,
02:03:19	It won't be easy getting at him. He was
02:03:27	Mitchell started doing covert stuff
02:03:30	The list is longer than anyone can imagine.
02:03:35	It involves the entire
02:03:40	FBI...
02:03:43	CIA, Justice. It's incredible.
02:03:49	The cover-up
02:03:51	It was mainly to protect
02:03:56	It leads everywhere.
02:04:01	Get out your notebook. There's more.
02:04:09	Your lives are in danger.
02:04:13	Hi, I finally got Sloan on the phone.
02:04:26	[Classical music blaring]
02:05:31	Why the hell didn't you tell me
02:05:33	-Woodward says phones aren't safe.
02:05:35	-Come on in.
02:05:37	Woodward says
02:05:56	-Surveillance? Who's doing it?
02:05:58	People's lives are in danger.
02:06:01	What happened to that
02:06:02	I guess I made the instructions
02:06:04	Because he thought I said "hang up"
02:06:07	-Oh, Jesus!
02:06:09	Haldeman was the fifth name
02:06:11	-and Sloan would've told the Grand Jury.
02:06:14	-Why didn't he?
02:06:15	Nobody asked him.
02:06:17	The cover-up had little to do
02:06:18	It was to protect covert operations
02:06:21	involving the entire
02:06:23	Did Deep Throat say
02:06:26	Yes.
02:06:27	-What else did he say?
02:06:38	You know the results
02:06:41	Half the country never even
02:06:44	Nobody gives a shit.
02:06:48	You guys are probably pretty tired, right?
02:06:51	You should be. Go on home.
02:06:54	Get a nice hot bath, rest up 15 minutes...
02:06:57	then get your asses back in gear.
02:06:59	We're under a lot of pressure,
02:07:04	Nothing's riding on this except the
02:07:09	freedom of the press,
02:07:14	Not that any of that matters...
02:07:17	but if you guys fuck up again,
02:07:22	Goodnight.
