00:08:50 lt was just
00:08:52 Apparently it was
00:08:54 O`Brien doesn`t even use that office.
00:08:55 lt`s possible they were
00:08:57 of an illegal Howard Hughes donation
00:08:59 The Democrats could make
00:09:01 lt was a contribution.
00:09:04 See, it`s just not clear the burglars
00:09:06 They were headed for McGovern`s office
00:09:09 Jesus Christ.
00:09:11 l don`t know. Mitchell`s...
00:09:14 Martha put her head
00:09:16 Oh,Jesus. Through a window?
00:09:18 Yeah. They`re taking her to Bellevue.
00:09:21 Yeah. Martha`s an idiot.
00:09:24 She`ll do anything to get
00:09:27 lf Mitchell had been minding the store
00:09:29 we wouldn`t have this kid Magruder
00:09:33 We feel the bigger concern
00:09:36 - Liddy? That fruitcake? What about him?
00:09:39 H-He is a nut. He used to work here
00:09:41 and now he turns up
00:09:44 Remember his plan to firebomb
00:09:48 - What`s Liddy got?
00:09:51 that was laundered for us
00:09:54 - We could have a problem with that.
00:09:58 So if-- Yeah, if Liddy
00:10:01 we can take care of him
00:10:03 l don`t have time for all this shit.
00:10:07 Keep it out of the White House.
00:10:10 He`s throwing a tantrum,
00:10:16 What else?
00:10:20 Well, sir, it turns out...
00:10:22 one of the people implicated
00:10:25 Who? Not another goddamn Cuban.
00:10:28 Uh, no, sir. A guy named Hunt.
00:10:31 Howard Hunt, sir.
00:10:33 Hunt? Howard Hunt?
00:10:39 Dumb bastard left his White House
00:10:42 He works for Colson.
00:10:46 After the arrest, this guy dumped
00:10:49 We`re still trying to figure out
00:10:54 Howard Hunt is working
00:10:57 Jesus Christ.
00:11:00 This is goddamn Disneyland.
00:11:02 Since Chappaquiddick. You wanted dirt
00:11:06 You know Hunt, sir?
00:11:09 Yeah, on the list of horribles.
00:11:11 l know what he is and
00:11:15 - You say he was involved
00:11:17 Colson had him, uh, trying to
00:11:21 to plant McGovern`s
00:11:25 l had nothing to do with that.
00:11:28 - He was in this Ellsberg thing too?
00:11:32 l did?
00:11:33 lt was right after
00:11:36 They went in to get
00:11:38 That`s when we were,
00:11:45 Fuck.
00:11:55 Fuck! What the fuck? You`re not
00:11:57 You`re supposed to be taking pictures
00:12:03 Howard Hunt.
00:12:05 Jesus Christ.
00:12:07 You open up that scab,
00:12:10 What do you mean?
00:12:14 - Where`s Hunt now?
00:12:16 - He sent Liddy in to talk to Dean.
00:12:20 He wants money.
00:12:22 - Then pay him.
00:12:24 l told him to get out of the country.
00:12:26 What the hell are you doing,John,
00:12:30 l don`t care how much he wants.
00:12:32 Well what are we
00:12:36 - Silence.
00:12:39 lt`s only this Ellsberg thing, and if
00:12:53 l say we cut ourselves loose from these
00:12:57 No, it`s more than that.
00:13:00 We`ve never done that before, sir.
00:13:03 We should set up
00:13:08 - Should we talk to Trini
00:13:11 And for God`s sake,
00:13:14 lt`s time we baptize
00:13:18 That meansJohn can never talk about it.
00:13:22 - Uh-huh.
00:13:25 - Don`t worry, sir.
00:13:32 Okay.
00:13:36 Did l approve
00:13:41 You know, l`m glad we tape
00:13:45 l never approved the break-in
00:13:49 Oh, maybe l approved it
00:13:53 Someday we gotta start
00:13:56 You approved that before the fact
00:14:00 Yeah, but of course l--
00:14:02 That`s right. And it`s really
00:14:05 He`s the one who fixed Hunt up
00:14:07 But what else does Hunt have on us?
00:14:14 We gotta turn off the F.B.l., Bob.
00:14:17 You go to the C.l.A.
00:14:22 Tell him Hunt and his Cuban
00:14:25 and, uh, if he goes public--
00:14:28 it will be a fiasco
00:14:32 - He`ll know what l`m talking about.
00:14:35 Play it tough. That`s the way
00:14:39 Don`t lie to Helms and say
00:14:42 Just say this is, uh...
00:14:44 sort of a comedy of errors-- bizarre--
00:14:48 and, uh, say
00:14:50 it`s gonna open up
00:14:54 Now, tell Helms he should call
00:14:57 and say that we wish,
00:15:00 Don`t go any further
00:15:05 Bay of Pigs?
00:15:08 That was Kennedy`s screw-up.
00:15:11 Just do what l say, Bob.
00:15:14 The only problem with that, sir--it
00:15:19 lt`s got nothing to do with justice,
00:15:23 -How is this national security?
00:15:27 Now, this isn`t
00:15:29 My job is to protect
00:15:32 and its enemies
00:15:35 We gotta keep our enemies
00:15:37 or our whole program
00:15:41 Uh, Vietnam, China,
00:15:44 -So when you look at the big picture,
00:15:46 end up doing a hell of a lot
00:15:49 So let`s not screw it up
00:15:53 What should l tell Ziegler
00:15:55 Well, tell `em what we always tell `em.
00:16:01 - Fuck!
00:16:03 it`s gonna open up
00:16:07 - Put me in this position.
00:16:09 - Expose me like this.
00:16:12 Why don`t they just
00:16:14 ln the election of 1860...
00:16:16 Abraham Lincoln said the question
00:16:20 half-slave or half-free.
00:16:22 ln the election of 1 960,
00:16:26 the question is whether the world
00:16:31 and l think, in the final analysis,
00:16:36 l think it`s time America
00:16:39 -Mr. Nixon?
00:16:43 through the years l have sat
00:16:47 l have been in the Cabinet; l have met
00:16:53 - Relax, everybody, relax.
00:16:54 and had discussions
00:16:58 uh, two emperors
00:17:01 Jesus Christ. Has he told them
00:17:05 -Let`s take hydroelectric power.
00:17:08 He just got out of the hospital,
00:17:12 When we consider the lineup
00:17:15 we find there are...
00:17:20 800 million people
00:17:23 - Should`ve slapped
00:17:26 -We`d better hope not.
00:17:30 What are you doing to him, Murray?
00:17:32 He`s not well. He doesn`t
00:17:35 - The odds are 5-3 against us.
00:17:38 - When it comes to politics--
00:17:40 -Senator Kennedy,you have
00:17:43 Castro is only the beginning of our
00:17:46 - The big struggles that we have seen--
00:17:49 We have seen Cuba
00:17:51 Eight jet minutes
00:17:54 We must attempt to strengthen the
00:17:58 These fighters have had virtually
00:18:01 - Son of a bitch.
00:18:03 Kennedy was briefed last week
00:18:06 - He knows we can`t respond.
00:18:08 - that we are now providing...
00:18:10 we might never have had Castro.
00:18:11 Why didn`t we?
00:18:13 - Mr. Nixon?
00:18:15 -Come on, Dick. Dick, this is it.
00:18:18 -Come on, attack the bastard.
00:18:27 -Mr. Nixon.
00:18:31 Well, l think--l think
00:18:36 - very dangerous and
00:18:38 - that`s--
00:18:40 -Helping the Cuban exiles...
00:18:42 who oppose Castro would, uh...
00:18:45 -not only be, uh,
00:18:48 -it would be, uh,
00:18:51 The popular vote column, by the way,
00:18:54 Uh, Senator Kennedy`s lead...
00:18:57 is about, uh, 700,000.
00:19:00 You think maybe that son of a bitch
00:19:03 ln Texas they had
00:19:06 lt was the closest race in history,
00:19:11 - He outspent us and he still cheated.
00:19:14 A guy who`s got everything.
00:19:18 We came to Congress together. We were
00:19:23 lt all figures, Dick. lt`s an obvious
00:19:26 Don`t be ridiculous.
00:19:30 Who`s gonna do the counting?
00:19:32 The Democrats control Texas.
00:19:35 We shift 25,000 votes in two states.
00:19:37 - And how long will that take?
00:19:40 Meanwhile, what happens
00:19:43 - lf l`d called his shot
00:19:45 lt made me look soft.
00:19:47 - ''l feel very sorry for Nixon...
00:19:49 - No.
00:19:51 Do you believe this? ''At each stop
00:19:54 he`s gonna be at the moment,
00:19:58 -Jack Kennedy.
00:20:00 - ''Nixon is a shifty-eyed,
00:20:03 and if he had to stick to the truth,
00:20:06 lf you vote for Nixon,
00:20:10 That`s what killed us, Dick. Not Cuba.
00:20:14 - You gonna let the son-of-a-bitch
00:20:18 Goes to Harvard. His father hands him
00:20:23 All my life
00:20:26 Not the right clothes; not the right
00:20:31 Then he steals from me.
00:20:34 He says l have no class,
00:20:37 Dick,you`re only 47.
00:20:41 lf you contest this election,
00:20:44 You gotta swallow this one.
00:20:46 They stole it fair and square.
00:20:55 We`ll get `em next time.
00:20:59 What makes you think there`s
00:21:03 Because if he`s not this Nixon...
00:21:06 he`s nobody.
00:21:12 - Good morning, sir.
00:21:24 - Hi.
00:21:28 We lost.
00:21:31 l know.
00:21:34 l hate to lose.
00:21:41 lt makes us human.
00:21:44 lt`s not fair, Buddy.
00:21:48 l can take the insults.
00:21:51 But l can`t take the losing.
00:21:53 l hate it.
00:21:59 We don`t have to put ourselves
00:22:04 We worked for it.
00:22:07 lt`s ours.
00:22:09 lt is. We know that.
00:22:13 And it`s enough that we know.
00:22:20 Just think of the girls.
00:22:23 They`re still young.
00:22:26 We never see them.
00:22:31 l lost my parents when l was young.
00:22:47 Maybe l should
00:22:51 What do you think, Buddy?
00:22:54 l can go back to being a lawyer...
00:22:57 end up with something solid,
00:23:03 You know, l, uh...
00:23:06 keep thinking of
00:23:10 - He was a failure too.
00:23:14 You know how much money he had
00:23:19 Nothing.
00:23:21 He was so damned honest.
00:23:25 But l miss him.
00:23:29 l miss him a hell of a lot.
00:23:50 - Dad? Dad?
00:23:53 - Dad.

00:23:57 l`ve got work to do.

00:24:12 - What`d he say?
00:24:17 - What`d you say?
00:24:21 Oh, no. Harold.
00:24:24 He doesn`t respond well to humor.
00:24:27 Maybe if you talk to Mother
00:24:29 l`d rather get a whipping rather than
00:24:31 - Shh!
00:24:38 - Donald, finish thy sweeping,
00:24:44 l`m working.
00:24:48 Richard, come with me,

00:30:03 in what is shaping up to be
00:30:06 against popular incumbent
00:30:09 Brown`s campaign has benefited greatly
00:30:13 while Nixon has had trouble

00:39:04 - Thank you and good day.
00:39:08 Are you staying in politics?
00:39:18 Here in California we can now officially
00:39:21 of Richard Milhous Nixon.
00:39:24 A small-town lawyer like Lincoln,
00:39:28 and a senator at 35...
00:39:29 as part of the postwar Republican sweep
00:39:33 that attacked F.D.R.`s
00:39:36 Running as a South Pacific veteran,
00:39:39 over CongressmanJerry Voorhis
00:39:43 that, to Nixon,
00:39:45 He didn`t have opponents,
00:39:47 Why, she`s pink,
00:39:50 Nixon became one of
00:39:52 on the notorious House
00:39:55 questioning labor leaders,
00:39:59 lf l had my way about it,
00:40:02 But it was the Alger Hiss case
00:40:05 One of the architects
00:40:08 intimate of F.D.R.
00:40:10 Alger Hiss was
00:40:13 accused by freelance journalist
00:40:15 - of passing secret documents
00:40:19 Hiss claimed he was being set up
00:40:22 to discredit
00:40:24 l am not and never have been
00:40:30 The case came down
00:40:32 and a roll of film
00:40:37 l asked Hiss if he`d
00:40:39 When he said ''no,`` that`s when l knew he
00:40:42 After two trials, Hiss was convicted
00:40:47 To some Nixon was a hero
00:40:49 But to many he was
00:40:52 Eleanor Roosevelt
00:40:55 Nixon continued
00:40:59 for losing mainland China
00:41:02 and blamed the Korean War
00:41:05 l promise to expose
00:41:08 the people that have sold
00:41:10 His speeches, if more subtle than those
00:41:16 - All of`em!
00:41:17 You know-- You know the direct result
00:41:20 is that China
00:41:23 Mao is a monster! Why?
00:41:26 Who in the State Department
00:41:29 Who has given the Russians
00:41:31 The Soviet Union is an example of a
00:41:37 Driven by demons that seemed
00:41:41 Nixon became Eisenhower`s
00:41:45 But then came
00:41:47 Nixon was accused of hiding
00:41:51 About to be kicked off
00:41:54 - l`m going to use this time...
00:41:56 to give to this television audience
00:42:00 - Everything l`ve earned...
00:42:03 - their Oldsmobile...
00:42:06 and lastly, in what was
00:42:09 a sentimental gift
00:42:11 You know what it was?
00:42:14 in a crate that he`d sent all the way
00:42:19 Our little girl Tricia,
00:42:23 -58 million people saw it.
00:42:27 -lt was shameless.
00:42:29 - lt was manipulative.
00:42:33 lt was a huge success.
00:42:36 He stayed on the national scene,
00:42:41 - We`re on television.
00:42:44 - and stoned by Latin mobs
00:42:46 Nixon once again
00:42:49 But it all came to a crashing end
00:42:53 and Pat Brown
00:42:57 And thus ends a great
00:43:00 The truth is, we never knew
00:43:04 and now that he is gone
00:43:15 Oh, poor little Tricia.
00:43:17 l told her her daddy couldn`t
00:43:21 Every white-shoe lawyer firm turned me

00:48:43 These are dangerous times, Dick,

01:07:14 They climb all over each other
01:07:18 He`ll ride his brother`s corpse
01:07:23 lf things remain as they are,
01:07:27 Or he`ll steal it,
01:07:30 Bobby`s a mean little
01:07:33 You know, he had the l.R.S.
01:07:37 - l know.
01:07:44 l wanna fight

01:07:54 The son of a bitch is not
01:07:57 Can you back me up on this?
01:08:02 l look at it from the point of view that
01:08:05 - Yeah.
01:08:08 - Yeah.
01:08:14 The late Dr. King, for example.
01:08:16 A moral hypocrite.
01:08:19 Screwing women
01:08:21 stirring up the blacks,
01:08:27 Sometimes a system
01:08:33 We`ve already had one radical
01:08:37 l don`t believe it would
01:08:45 -Well, like l said, uh, Edgar--
01:08:52 As long as l can count on yours.
01:09:01 Yeah, the old queen
01:09:04 You know, he wasn`t protecting me.
01:09:08 - What? That you knewJohnny Roselli?
01:09:10 Hoover knew a lot of gangsters.
01:09:13 Johnny Roselli
01:09:16 Johnny Roselli was one of the gangsters
01:09:21 No, l know a man named Bob Engel.
01:09:23 Oh. Well, l know
01:09:25 l don`t understand it.
01:09:28 Yeah, Chile, Congo,
01:09:33 Wherever there is need for, uh,
01:09:40 ln Cuba, Track 1 was, uh,
01:09:45 Track 2 was our idea.
01:09:48 We thought that the invasion wouldn`t
01:09:51 So we asked ourselves, uh,
01:09:58 whether Mafia or money people?
01:10:00 So we put together Track 2.
01:10:17 First assassination attempt
01:10:20 - Uh,just before the election.
01:10:22 Eisenhower approved that?
01:10:25 Yeah. Well, he didn`t veto it.
01:10:28 l ran the White House side and...
01:10:31 uh, the Mob contact
01:10:35 One of the C.l.A. guys
01:10:38 Howard Hunt.
01:10:40 -Jesus.
01:10:43 Not just Howard Hunt, but Frank Sturgis
01:10:50 All of them in the Watergate--
01:10:53 Uh, they were all involved in Cuba.
01:11:02 Yeah, Hunt reported
01:11:06 l don`t know how much Hunt knows,
01:11:09 but...you never know.
01:11:13 So you wanted Castro dead.
01:11:19 You know, if Hunt
01:11:22 why don`t we just dump this
01:11:26 - Let Dick Helms take the fall.
01:11:30 Because Helms knows,
01:11:35 lf there`s anyone in this
01:11:39 and you don`t fuck
01:11:42 All right.
01:11:44 But why, if Kennedy was so clean
01:11:48 Because he didn`t even
01:11:52 The C.l.A., uh, never told him.
01:11:57 Like it had a life of its own,
01:12:01 kind of a thing,you know?
01:12:04 Doesn`t even know it exists.
01:12:06 Just eats people when it
01:12:11 Two days after the Bay of Pigs...
01:12:14 Kennedy called me in
01:12:19 - He`d just found out about Track 2.
01:12:22 l didn`t want him-- didn`t
01:12:26 He said l`d stabbed him
01:12:31 lf l kissed you
01:12:36 Fever in the morning
01:12:39 - Fever all through the night
01:12:43 Play it on a runway in Paris
01:12:46 - The models do a--
01:12:52 arms stretched out like that
01:12:56 Stay back!
01:12:59 l knew then l`d be president.
01:13:03 His death paved the way, didn`t it?
01:13:06 Yeah. Vietnam, the Kennedys...
01:13:09 cleared a path through
01:13:15 Over the bodies.
01:13:20 Four bodies.
01:13:28 You mean two.
01:13:31 Two bodies.
01:13:36 Four.
01:13:50 How many did you have?
01:13:53 Hundreds of thousands?
01:13:59 Where would we be
01:14:04 Abe?
01:14:11 Who`s helping us?
01:14:15 ls it God, or is it...
01:14:19 death?
01:15:15 Harold.
01:15:17 Harold, why don`t you
01:15:22 Here.
01:15:28 That was a whopper.
01:15:36 You`ll be able to do it now.
01:15:39 - What?
01:15:42 - Mom and Dad`ll be able
01:15:46 Mama expects great things from you.
01:15:50 Can l-- Can l get you anything?
01:15:56 Relax, Dick.
01:15:59 lt`s just me, huh?
01:16:07 The desert`s so beautiful,
01:16:16 l want to go home, Dick.
01:16:19 Time to go home.
01:16:22 You--
01:16:24 You`re not gonna quit on me now,
01:16:56 Down came the rain
01:17:01 Out came the sun
01:17:07 The itsy-bitsy spider--
01:17:13 Richard.
01:17:17 - l can`t.
01:17:22 This law school,
01:17:26 He had to die
01:17:34 Something has to come of this.
01:17:38 lt`s meant to make us stronger.
01:17:41 Thee art stronger than Harold,
01:17:45 God has chosen thee to survive.
01:17:48 What about happiness, Mother?
01:17:53 You will find thy peace
01:17:57 Strength in this life,
01:18:50 Now tell me you didn`t
01:19:01 Hey!
01:19:22 When the strongest nation
01:19:26 for four years in a war
01:19:30 when the richest nation in the world
01:19:34 when the nation with the greatest
01:19:38 is plagued
01:19:41 when a nation that has been known for
01:19:45 is torn by unprecedented
01:19:49 and when the president of the
01:19:53 or to any major city at home...
01:19:55 without fear
01:19:57 then it is time for new leadership
01:20:05 As we look at America, we see cities
01:20:09 millions of Americans
01:20:12 ''Did we come all the way for this?
01:20:15 Did American boys die in Normandy
01:20:21 l pledge to you that
01:20:24 will not be
01:20:29 Now let us begin by committing
01:20:33 to find the truth,
01:20:35 and to live the truth.
01:20:37 A new voice is being heard
01:20:40 lt is not the voice
01:20:43 lt is the quiet voice of the majority
01:20:47 The non-shouters.
01:20:51 They`re the good people. They work hard
01:20:56 Now, who are they?
01:20:59 They`re in this audience
01:21:01 They`re the white Americans
01:21:03 Mexican-Americans
01:21:06 They`re the great
01:21:08 and they have
01:21:11 Angry, not with hate, but angry,
01:21:15 and they don`t like what`s happened
01:21:19 Let us understand,
01:21:22 cannot defeat or humiliate
01:21:24 Only Americans can do that!
01:21:30 l say to you tonight--
01:21:32 l say to you tonight we must have
01:21:36 of self-discipline.
01:21:37 We must look to renew
01:21:40 We must have a complete reform
01:21:44 - Fear!
01:21:48 we can have full prosperity
01:21:50 Yes, we can cut
01:21:53 We can reduce, uh,
01:21:56 We can restore
01:21:58 We can improve health care and make it
01:22:01 and yes, we can have
01:22:05 We can have
01:22:21 The whole world is watching!
01:22:25 The whole world is watching!
01:22:33 lt`d be a disaster. There`s a lot
01:22:39 Tiny, little neutral
01:22:42 They`ll be rioting in the streets,
01:22:46 Building the Cambodian army up?
01:22:50 They have no tradition.
01:22:52 - Mr. President,
01:22:56 - That`s what you`re saying.
01:22:58 The same old horseshit.
01:23:01 l`m sick of being pushed around
01:23:04 like we`re some, uh,
01:23:07 Uh, they`re using our P.O.W.s
01:23:11 What we need now is a,
01:23:14 and go right after their,
01:23:17 and, uh, uh, make `em scream,
01:23:21 - What do you think, Henry?
01:23:25 most of my staff have weighed in
01:23:28 They believe it will fail to achieve
01:23:33 and will result in crushing
01:23:37 l didn`t ask what your staff thinks.
01:23:41 What l think is,
01:23:43 Their opposition represents the
01:23:49 They don`t realize,
01:23:52 that the Communists
01:23:54 and they will only negotiate
01:24:00 Exactly. Unpredictability
01:24:03 We`ve gotta take the war to `em. Hit `em
01:24:06 More assassinations, right, Al?
01:24:08 That`s what they`re doing,
01:24:11 See,your people in
01:24:15 - You gotta--
01:24:16 You gotta electrify people
01:24:18 l mean, bold moves make history,
01:24:21 T.R., rushing up San Juan Hill.
01:24:26 Small event but dramatic.
01:24:28 Yes, well, they`ll
01:24:30 lf we sneak out of this war,
01:24:35 We bite the bullet here
01:24:40 We bomb the hell
01:24:46 Tonight,American
01:24:49 will attack the headquarters of the
01:24:54 in South Vietnam.
01:24:55 This is not an invasion of Cambodia.
01:24:58 We take this action not for the purpose
01:25:03 but for the purpose
01:25:12 All across the nation today,
01:25:17 rocked college campuses.
01:25:19 At Jackson State, two Negro students
01:25:23 - Unanimously and united behind--
01:25:28 were attacked by construction workers
01:25:34 -ln Washington,protestors have
01:25:37 and are camping out
01:25:44 We don`t want your fucking war!
01:25:51 See, when l think of those kids out
01:25:54 uh, l bet they were scared.
01:25:56 l-l was when l was there. Uh--
01:25:58 But when it comes down to it,you really
01:26:01 because they`re the greatest.
01:26:06 No more war!
01:26:09 l mean,you see these bums,you know,
01:26:12 burning books and so forth...
01:26:15 and they call themselves,
01:26:18 l call `em spoiled rotten,
01:26:22 A good old-fashioned trip
01:26:25 - Yes.
01:26:27 That`s what these bums need.
00:00:03 - Thank you, sir.
00:00:05 - Thanks, everybody. Bye.
00:00:29 Less than 24 hours after President Nixon

00:00:44 Now stop this pussyfooting around.
00:00:46 Jesus Christ. l mean, dead kids.
00:00:51 Well, one way or the other,
00:00:54 - We have to get out
00:00:57 - Follow the money.
00:00:59 These kids are being manipulated by
00:01:04 - What`s the matter with you?
00:01:08 How do you know that,John?
00:01:11 Well, he called the other day, sir.
00:01:17 - Maybe we can have,
00:01:20 Come on. These are not
00:01:25 - This is anarchy. lt`s a revolution.
00:01:28 Why not?
00:01:31 Well, is it worth it, sir? l mean,
00:01:36 Because right now l think
00:01:37 l will not go down as the first
00:01:40 Going to Cambodia,
00:01:43 buys us time so we can get out and give
00:01:47 - Exactly, sir.
00:01:51 - What, w-win Vietnam, sir?
00:01:54 No, but what we can do is drive
00:01:59 Henry`s getting strong signals
00:02:02 Oh, they fear the Vietnamese
00:02:05 and they`re worried
00:02:08 Now, if we stick it out,
00:02:11 with both the Chinese
00:02:14 and we`d get better deals
00:02:17 That is triangular diplomacy,
00:02:21 Exactly, Mr. President.
00:02:23 That`s what geopolitics is about.
00:02:26 The linking of the whole world
00:02:30 So,you tell me, Ron, how the hell
00:02:32 to a bunch of simpleminded reporters
00:02:36 Uh,yeah, but what am l telling
00:02:38 Ah, tell them what the hell
00:02:41 Excuse me, sir.
00:02:45 Are you saying you`re
00:02:48 l mean, that would cost us
00:02:50 No, l can do this because
00:02:54 building
00:02:56 lf Kennedy orJohnson had tried it,
00:03:00 Damned risky, Mr. President.
00:03:04 - This`ll get us a second term,John.
00:03:07 Damn it! Without risk, there`s
00:03:11 Nixon was born to do this.
00:03:14 - Come on!
00:03:15 l mean, if Cambodia
00:03:17 we`ll bomb Hanoi if we have to.
00:03:20 That`s right. And if necessary,
00:03:27 We have to entertain
00:03:35 Goddamn it!
00:03:38 Manolo, there`s blood
00:03:40 l`m sorry, sir.
00:03:56 - You all right?
00:04:01 My brother Harold was
00:04:05 - Tuberculosis got him.
00:04:10 The soldiers were kids too.
00:04:14 Yeah.
00:04:16 They were throwing rocks,John.
00:04:23 They don`t think l feel,
00:04:29 l just can`t let our whole policy
00:04:33 You`re doing the right thing.
00:04:36 No.
00:04:39 You know, it broke my heart
00:04:42 Oh, that was a long time ago.
00:04:46 Yeah. l think that`s when
00:04:51 The laughs and snubs
00:04:55 because you`re poor
00:05:01 just ugly.
00:05:03 Get off that.
00:05:08 But you should offer condolences
00:05:12 Sure.
00:05:15 l`d like to. l`d like
00:05:21 But Nixon can`t.
00:05:37 Manolo?
00:05:43 - Manolo?
00:05:46 - Yeah.
00:05:52 What can l get you?
00:05:55 - Well,you know.
00:06:12 Do you miss Cuba, Manolo?
00:06:16 Yes, Mr. President.
00:06:23 We let you down, didn`t we?
00:06:26 Your people.
00:06:28 That was Mr. Kennedy, sir.
00:06:32 Oh.
00:06:37 You don`t think
00:06:42 He was a politician.
00:06:55 Did you cry when he died?

00:07:04 Why?
00:07:07 l don`t know. l--
00:07:10 He... made me...

00:07:32 Why do they hate me so much?
00:08:14 He has loosed
00:08:17 Of his terrible swift sword
00:08:19 His truth is marching on
00:08:26 l have seen Him in the watch fires
00:08:31 They have builded Him an altar
00:08:36 l can read his righteous sentence
00:08:41 His day is marching on
00:08:51 l have read the fiery Gospel

00:12:34 Please.
00:12:39 You can`t stop it, can you?
00:12:45 `Cause it`s not you.

00:16:03 - The New York Times.
00:16:10 lt`s the happiest day of my life.
00:16:19 The New York Times
00:16:21 the first in a series of 47 volumes
00:16:26 relating to the war in Vietnam.
00:16:28 The papers, leaked by
00:16:31 reveal a systematic pattern
00:16:36 Mr. President, we are
00:16:40 We are under siege.
00:16:44 The State Department under Rogers
00:16:46 And now, this little
00:16:50 publishing all the diplomatic secrets
00:16:53 is destroying our ability
00:16:56 l wonder if there are many
00:16:59 was very cheap if they could contribute
00:17:01 The man has become a drug fiend.
00:17:04 He shot people from helicopters
00:17:07 He`s had sexual relations with his wife
00:17:11 He sees a shrink in L.A.
00:17:14 And now he`s trying to look good
00:17:18 And if he gets away with it,
00:17:21 This man must be stopped at all costs.
00:17:23 l`m as frustrated as you are,
00:17:27 They started the war.
00:17:29 But, Mr. President,
00:17:33 - lt makes you look like a weakling.
00:17:36 How long have we had this jackass dog?
00:17:40 We need a dog that looks happy
00:17:42 -He`s photogenic.Just try new biscuits.
00:17:44 He doesn`t like me,John.
00:17:47 - l beg your pardon?
00:17:50 Uh, this Ellsberg. Wasn`t he
00:17:55 l mean, uh, he`s your idea, Henry.
00:17:58 Well,yes, we taught
00:18:00 b-but you know these backstabbing
00:18:03 - No, l don`t, Henry. l don`t.
00:18:07 Go for an injunction.
00:18:09 Yeah, but it`s not, bottom line,
00:18:12 The... question is,
00:18:16 it puts the fear of God
00:18:19 The other issue is, how the hell
00:18:21 Now, someone is talking
00:18:26 You hear me? Then we can go
00:18:29 - Sir, if l might?
00:18:32 We can do this ourselves.
00:18:34 The C.l.A. and the F.B.l.
00:18:37 Now, we can create our own
00:18:44 - Well, why not?
00:18:48 - To plug the leaks?
00:18:50 - Like plumbers.
00:18:56 l like it.
00:18:59 Yeah, but, uh, is it legal?
00:19:04 Hát persze.
00:19:06 Lyndon,J.F.K., F.D.R.
00:19:10 l mean, uh, Truman, uh, cut the shit
00:19:13 of the Hiss case back in `48.
00:19:15 And what he did was illegal.
00:19:17 You know, this kind of thing,
00:19:18 A leak happens, the whole damn place
00:19:21 Really. l mean,you do it
00:19:25 lf they went through these towns,
00:19:28 they`d line the whole
00:19:30 ''Now, until you talk,
00:19:33 Really, l think that`s
00:19:35 l don`t think you can be
00:19:37 You just whisper the word
00:19:41 - We`re not Germans.
00:19:44 Ellsberg`s not the issue.
00:19:46 Pentagon papers aren`t the issue.
00:19:50 lt`s the lie.
00:19:53 - Mr. Hiss is lying.
00:19:57 Remember,John, back in `48?
00:20:02 Well, they loved Hiss
00:20:05 He was their kind.
00:20:08 l am not,
00:20:10 - Mr. Hiss is lying.
00:20:13 l was dirt to them. Nothing.
00:20:15 And Dick kicked the shit out of`em.
00:20:17 l wouldn`t have if Hiss
00:20:21 The documents were old and out-of-date,
00:20:25 The key thing we proved
00:20:28 Then people bought
00:20:31 lt`s the lie that gets you.
00:20:35 All right, Henry, we`re gonna go
00:20:39 There is no other choice,
00:20:41 We`re gonna hit him so hard, he`ll look
00:20:44 about the Eastern establishment.
00:20:47 You and your plumbers,you`re gonna
00:20:50 Let`s see him going to the bathroom
00:20:52 And when we finish with him,
00:20:55 Then we`ll get our second term.
00:21:12 The claws are out, Frank.
00:21:16 - You seen the guys?
00:21:19 Why? You got a customer?
00:21:23 The White House.

00:24:48 You want that? You know?
00:24:50 You wanna see that, Buddy.

00:25:08 l gotta keep fighting, Buddy,

00:26:22 We`re taking a step
00:26:24 - Oye, Liddy. Aquí tengo folder.

00:26:29 What else you got?

00:27:10 l am too old to be afraid
00:27:22 Don`t ever trust them.
00:27:26 or honor their commitments.
00:27:28 Vietnamese are like Russians.
00:27:33 Mr. Chairman,
00:27:37 The enemy of my enemy
00:27:42 - That has added virtue of being true.
00:27:46 Your writings have changed
00:27:52 Bullshit. My writings
00:28:00 l want to know your secret.
00:28:03 My secret, Mr. Chairman?
00:28:11 How a fat man gets so many girls.
00:28:18 Power, Mr. Chairman...
00:28:20 is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
00:28:29 You know, l voted for you
00:28:33 l was the lesser of two evils.
00:28:37 You are too modest, Mr. Nixon.
00:28:41 You are as evil as l am.
00:28:45 We are the new emperors.
00:28:49 We are both
00:28:51 and others pay to feed
00:28:55 ln my case,
00:28:58 ln your case,
00:29:02 Civil war is always

00:29:08 The United States, China.
00:29:10 Peace? ls peace all
00:29:14 The real war is in us.
00:29:22 History is a symptom
00:29:30 ln a surprise Christmas bombing
00:29:33 President Nixon today delivered
00:29:39 lt is without doubt the most brutal
00:29:43 Newspapers are calling it
00:29:47 and Nixon a maddened tyrant.
00:29:49 Nixon`s response:
00:29:50 ''When the Vietnamese take
00:29:54 l`ll stop.`'
00:30:10 Penny for your thoughts.
00:30:15 Just think of the--
00:30:17 Think of the life Mao`s led.
00:30:21 ln `52, l--
00:30:25 Now he could be
00:30:29 Only Nixon could`ve done that.
00:30:32 You`re a long way from Whittier.

00:33:12 Now, Kissinger`s misunderstood.
00:33:15 but he`s even tougher than l am.
00:33:18 So Kissinger stays.
00:33:24 Yeah. He stays.
00:33:28 And you are comfortable
00:33:34 Desi`s got a point.

00:36:05 As the new term begins,
00:36:07 the Watergate investigations
00:36:11 in any significant way.

00:36:19 isn`t China or Russia.
00:36:22 lt`s pulling out of Vietnam
00:36:25 l believe you`re right.
00:36:27 But even the presidency
00:36:31 Sir?
00:36:34 The presidency by itself

00:37:53 Claims that he was dead set
00:37:55 that you are unstable, and that
00:37:59 That explains his press notices.
00:38:06 My God. He talked
00:38:09 - Yes, he did.
00:38:14 And you know what, sir?
00:38:17 l would personally volunteer

00:41:03 Nor will l comment on a matter
00:41:06 - Mr. President!
00:41:08 - Sir!

00:42:18 l got SALT l with the Russians;
00:42:22 So why are these assholes
00:42:25 `Cause they don`t like the way l look.
00:42:28 - Because they`re not Americans.
00:42:31 Why would they?
00:42:36 Who are these people?
00:42:38 Their parents are gold traders
00:42:41 And they buy things. They
00:42:44 and one of the things they buy,
00:42:49 You know what? You should be proud,
00:42:53 Because we speak
00:42:56 You know why
00:42:59 lt`s because they`re not serious
00:43:02 They`re playing with power.
00:43:04 They`re forgetting
00:43:07 ln the old days, people knew
00:43:11 They wouldn`t have torn this country
00:43:15 For Christ`s sake...
00:43:16 now all they care about is--
00:43:20 Beating out other papers
00:43:22 Wondering whether someone
00:43:25 All short-term
00:43:27 - Ben Bradlee worrying about
00:43:32 - Get Mr. Dean in here, will you?
00:43:37 We are playing
00:43:39 We have to get ahead of the ball.
00:43:41 Now, we all know
00:43:47 Then let`s take off the gloves.
00:43:50 - Let`s do a housecleaning.
00:44:01 No, it could be ugly,
00:44:04 lt must be done, sir.
00:44:06 All kinds of shit could come out.
00:44:09 Yeah, even you knew about that one,
00:44:10 Well, l heard something.
00:44:13 ''ldiotic.``
00:44:15 l thought it was your idea
00:44:18 l guess somebody just
00:44:20 l never suggested that
00:44:25 lt doesn`t matter, Henry.
00:44:29 if the media starts sniffing
00:44:32 Sir, l never had anything
00:44:36 Resent it all you want, Henry,
00:44:41 Cambodia. Ellsberg.
00:44:43 The wire taps you put in.
00:44:46 The president wants you to know
00:44:49 lt`s your ass too, Henry, and it`s in
00:45:05 - Sir.
00:45:07 There are times
00:45:11 can go too far.
00:45:17 Played it perfectly, sir.
00:45:21 Yeah.
00:45:23 He`ll be looking in his toilet bowl
00:45:28 Pardon them all. Hunt and the Cubans
00:45:33 Nobody`s gonna investigate
00:45:36 - Yeah, l like that. l like--
00:45:40 Pardoning them means we`re all guilty.
00:45:43 What am l supposed to do,just sit here
00:45:45 eating their way
00:45:48 Lyndon bugged; so did Kennedy.
00:45:52 Christ, even Eisenhower
00:45:55 What`s so special about me? Huh?
00:46:00 l don`t know.
00:46:03 l just know we`ve made
00:46:06 Now, there are... things l can say when
00:46:11 When l say them,
00:46:16 Then we`re going to have to
00:46:21 Mitchell`s family.
00:46:24 Either it goes to Mitchell,
00:46:28 John`s right, boss.
00:46:31 lt`s not personal.
00:46:35 Sometimes you gotta punt.
00:46:43 Hey, he`s wrong,you know.
00:46:46 - About Kennedy, L.B.J. and Truman.
00:46:50 Well, l mean, sure, they did stuff,
00:46:54 l mean, forget about the break-in,
00:46:59 You got the attempted firebombing
00:47:03 Planting McGovern`s stuff
00:47:06 Trying to slip L.S.D.
00:47:08 The old man plays politics
00:47:11 You think this is about politics?
00:47:13 You think L.B.J. would ever have
00:47:16 implicating Kennedy in the assassination
00:47:21 - How long have you known him?
00:47:24 named after our 26th president.
00:47:26 This is about Richard Nixon.
00:47:28 l mean,you got people dying because he
00:47:31 You got the Constitution
00:47:34 because he went to Whittier,
00:47:38 And what is this Bay of Pigs
00:47:44 lt`s a code or something.
00:47:46 Well, shit,
00:47:49 No, l think he means--
00:47:52 - The Kennedy assassination.
00:47:55 They went after Castro,
00:48:00 l don`t think the old man
00:48:03 But he`s afraid to find out,
00:48:04 He`s shitting peach pits
00:48:07 - Created a Frankenstein
00:48:10 Eight words back in `72:
00:48:13 ''l covered up.
00:48:15 l was wrong. l`m sorry.``
00:48:19 And the American public
00:48:22 But we never opened
00:48:25 We failed him.
00:48:28 Dick Nixon saying ''l`m sorry``?
00:48:32 His whole suit of armor
00:48:35 - So...you tell Mitchell.
00:48:39 And,John,you do know
00:48:58 You`re early,John.
00:49:03 lf you`d been
00:49:08 l was... sorry to hear
00:49:11 Yes.
00:49:13 l got the money.
00:49:15 The president would like to know
00:49:18 - l`ll bet he would.
00:49:22 ln Richard Nixon`s long history
00:49:25 he`s never had better value
00:49:28 lf l were to open my mouth,
00:49:33 Can l ask you a question?
00:49:36 How the hell do you have
00:49:41 That`s not the question,John.
00:49:45 - To protect his people.
00:49:49 The Cubans are his people.
00:49:52 Howard,you will serve no more
00:49:56 Maybe. Maybe not.
00:50:00 But you don`t leave
00:50:04 You don`t make them beg
00:50:06 You don`t dump men with families
00:50:10 He didn`t know. This thing
00:50:13 Do you think a man
00:50:16 at the Democratic National
00:50:20 You really thinkJohn Mitchell
00:50:25 The president`s men
00:50:28 nothing without
00:50:35 John, sooner or later--
00:50:37 sooner, l think--you`re going to learn
00:50:42 by everyone who`s ever gotten
00:50:46 That he`s the darkness...
00:50:48 reaching out for the darkness.
00:50:52 And eventually,
00:50:58 Your grave`s already
00:51:15 F.B.l. director-designate
00:51:18 shocked the Senate by revealing
00:51:21 has been secretly receiving
00:51:24 - Crown, this is Echo Six.
00:51:27 Gray also said that Dean lied
00:51:29 did not have an office
00:51:32 - How is he?
00:51:41 This is the sort of thing Mafia
00:51:45 We just don`t know about these things
00:51:47 How much you need?
00:51:51 l would say these people
00:51:53 a million dollars
00:51:57 - We could get that.
00:51:59 Get a million dollars in cash.
00:52:06 l`m still not confident
00:52:09 Some people are gonna have to go
00:52:12 Haldeman let me use
00:52:15 in his safe
00:52:17 Ehrlichman had a role-- a big role--
00:52:21 Oh, l-- l don`t know about that.
00:52:23 And-- And l`m--
00:52:27 l think it`s time we begin to think
00:52:31 Yeah.
00:52:35 Are you saying-- You`re saying cut
00:52:38 And,you know, suppose the thing blows
00:52:43 Jesus,you`d never recover
00:52:46 No, it`s better to fight it out
00:52:51 Sir, l-- l still don`t think
00:52:56 There`s a cancer on the presidency and
00:53:00 Jesus,you know, every--
00:53:02 Everything`s a crisis among the upper
00:53:06 But the average people don`t think
00:53:09 For Christ`s sake, this is not Vietnam.
00:53:13 - l mean, isn`t it ridiculous?
00:53:15 - lt`s-- lt`s ridiculous, but--
00:53:18 Goldwater was right when
00:53:22 We know that.
00:53:25 lt`s the cover-up,John, not the deed,
00:53:31 lf only Mitchell could just step up
00:53:36 You know, give `em
00:53:38 Maybe they won`t come back
00:53:42 You know,
00:53:44 Mitchell`s gonna get it
00:53:48 They`re not paying attention.
00:53:50 He won`t.
00:53:54 You tell my good friend Dick...
00:53:56 l got suckered into this thing
00:54:01 l don`t have a guilty conscience,
00:54:06 Yeah.
00:54:12 Well, he`s right.
00:54:14 Maybe it is time to go
00:54:19 A full and thorough investigation.
00:54:21 We`ve cooperated with the F.B.l.
00:54:26 - What have we gotta hide?
00:54:29 No. Nothing to hide.
00:54:31 You know, the only--
00:54:34 they`re not gonna believe the truth
00:54:37 l agree.
00:54:41 Everything seems
00:54:44 - People would never understand.
00:54:47 John, l want you to get away from
00:54:51 l want you to go up to
00:54:56 Put everything you know
00:55:00 ''Mr. President,
00:55:02 You want me to put it all
00:55:07 Well, uh, nobody knows more
00:55:10 And, uh,you know, the details. And
00:55:17 Uh-huh.
00:55:19 Sir... l`m not going to be
00:55:24 Haldeman and Ehrlichman
00:55:26 No, now,John,you don`t
00:55:29 l-- You know,
00:55:31 Whittaker Chambers
00:55:35 And he was a man
00:55:37 And he said, ''On the road
00:55:42 Now... it`s beyond you
00:55:45 - lt`s-- lt`s the country.
00:55:47 - lt`s the presidency.
00:55:48 You know, l-- You know
00:55:50 l-- l`m not gonna let any of my people
00:55:55 Now, the important thing is
00:55:59 And l`m trusting you to do
00:56:04 - l`ll work on it.
00:56:06 Now you say hi to
00:56:08 - Yes, sir.
00:56:12 - lt happens.
00:56:13 - Yeah.
00:56:19 l was determined that we should
00:56:23 and the truth
00:56:28 Today, in one of the most
00:56:33 l accepted the resignations of two of my
00:56:37 Bob Haldeman
00:56:40 two of the finest public servants
00:56:48 More light, Chief?.
00:56:51 No, Bob.
00:57:00 - Six bodies.
00:57:05 l will not place the blame
00:57:08 on people whose zeal
00:57:11 and who may have done wrong in a cause
00:57:18 ln any organization, the man at the top
00:57:23 That responsibility, therefore, belongs
00:57:29 There can be no whitewash
00:57:31 Two wrongs do not make a right.
00:57:35 Now, l love America.
00:57:37 God bless America, and God bless
00:57:43 And we`re clear.
00:57:49 Out.
00:58:10 Thank you.
00:58:18 Are you going
00:58:21 - Yeah.
00:58:26 Tomorrow.
00:58:35 Ron told me that, um...
00:58:38 Bob Haldeman has been calling,
00:58:43 lf he`s convicted,
00:58:49 No.
00:58:57 Why are you cutting yourself off
00:59:03 - Can`t we discuss this?
00:59:07 You. What you`re doing.
00:59:11 - What am l doing?
00:59:14 You`re hiding.
00:59:18 - Hiding what?
00:59:23 You`re letting it
00:59:27 You won`t even ask for hel--
00:59:34 Manolo, uh,
00:59:43 l am the only one left, Dick.
00:59:46 lf you don`t even talk to me--
00:59:58 Brezhnev`s coming in three days.
01:00:01 l don`t wanna deal with them
01:00:07 How much more--
01:00:10 When do the rest of us
01:00:18 l`d like to finish
01:00:22 if it`s not too much to ask.
01:00:29 No, it isn`t.
01:00:35 l won`t interfere with you anymore.
01:00:40 Thank you.
01:00:43 ''Thank you``?
01:00:45 Dick, sometimes l understand
01:00:57 The committee will come to order,
01:01:00 - Thank you.
01:01:04 After l departed
01:01:06 l subsequently went to a meeting
01:01:10 The sum and substance
01:01:13 the way to handle this now
01:01:17 lt was a tremendous disappointment
01:01:20 that the cover-up,
01:01:23 was concerned,
01:01:26 - Why is he doing this?
01:01:28 lf he had a problem,
01:01:31 Just remember,
01:01:34 - l, for the first time, said--
01:01:38 ...were all indictable
01:01:41 And that was the reason
01:01:45 - Give `em hell, General.
01:01:54 Mao taught me in 1 963...
01:01:59 if l have nuclear weapons...
01:02:05 let 400 million Chinese die...
01:02:08 300 million will be left.
01:02:12 - Mao.
01:02:16 - You want to know what happened?
01:02:18 You want names? l can give you names.
01:02:20 l can give you-- l`m talking
01:02:22 - Mao.
01:02:24 l can give you the president.
01:02:26 ...this man
01:02:31 You want him
01:02:34 Well, he was your ally
01:02:38 Yes,yes, Dick.
01:02:44 Mr. Nixon.
01:02:48 Life is the best teacher,
01:02:51 with the building of the SALT ll treaty
01:02:59 Peace in our era is possible.
01:03:04 - Excuse me, Leonid.
01:03:22 He`s spilling his guts to
01:03:43 Did you, Daddy?
01:03:46 - What?
01:03:56 You think l`d do something
01:04:02 Well, then you can`t give up.
01:04:06 You`re one of the best presidents
01:04:09 You`ve done what Lincoln did--
01:04:14 You can`t let your enemies
01:04:17 You`ve gotta stay and fight.
01:04:21 Nobody knows the real you,
01:04:24 how nice you are to people.
01:04:27 l`ll tell them.
01:04:30 You`re the most
01:04:36 l just hope l haven`t
01:04:41 They just don`t know
01:04:45 They just don`t know.
01:04:47 Tricky Dick always knew
01:04:52 Every last goddamn detail.
01:04:56 - And my husband is not going
01:04:59 - Martha,just a few questions.
01:05:04 She doesn`t know
01:05:07 Ah, hell, she`s nuts.
01:05:09 Mr. Mitchell, are you and Martha
01:05:11 Our marriage is finished.
01:05:21 Now, were the visitors that went
01:05:26 their conversations
01:05:29 - Again, l am not aware
01:05:32 we have the high school students
01:05:34 -...telephones is often times--
01:05:37 - Women`s Republican Club.
01:05:40 - And Sunday you`ll be--
01:05:43 - ...the west wing of the White House--
01:05:46 He revealed the existence
01:05:48 that may have recorded conversations
01:05:51 the Executive Office Building,
01:05:54 You said also taped--
01:05:58 of whatever nature and character
01:06:01 - Yes, the tape would not discriminate.
01:06:03 had knowledge that their conversations
01:06:06 - This is a stunning revelation.
01:06:08 lf such tapes exist,
01:06:11 what did the president know,
01:06:15 l want Hunt paid.
01:06:17 Maybe it`s time to go
01:06:21 -lf they fear the madman--
01:06:24 - Who the hell authorized this? Colson?
01:06:27 - The Bay of Pigs?
01:06:29 -lt was Kennedy`s screw-up.
01:06:33 - and it`s growing with every day--
01:06:35 Too damn much.
01:06:37 lf he goes public--
01:06:39 - This thing we created--
01:06:41 They`re like love letters.
01:06:44 You should burn `em.
01:06:47 Why didn`t you?
01:06:51 They`re evidence.
01:06:55 You don`t expect me to believe
01:06:59 Huh?
01:07:01 Does it matter
01:07:04 Really? Murder, Dick? Sex?
01:07:07 Your secrets? Your fantasies?
01:07:11 Don`t be ridiculous.
01:07:13 l remember Alger Hiss.
01:07:16 l know how ugly you can be.
01:07:19 You`re capable of anything.
01:07:29 You see, it doesn`t really matter
01:07:33 because you have
01:07:35 No concept of remorse.
01:07:38 You want the tapes to get out.
01:07:42 - You`re drunk.
01:07:44 No one`ll ever see those tapes,
01:07:46 And what would l find out
01:07:52 What makes it so damn sad...
01:07:55 is that you couldn`t
01:07:57 You had to make a record
01:08:02 They were for me.
01:08:04 They`re not yours.
01:08:15 You should burn them.
01:08:36 - What has changed in you, Richard?
01:08:50 These guys went after Castro
01:08:54 What, do you think people like that,
01:08:57 They just don`t walk away.
01:09:04 - What do you think--
01:09:07 - Ten times. Never.
01:09:12 Castro. These guys
01:09:21 lf this got out,
01:09:23 Forget Kennedy orJohnson.
01:09:28 lt`s Nixon.
01:09:45 Whoever killed Kennedy
01:09:49 this beast.
01:09:56 ln the latest bombshell,
01:09:59 that there is
01:10:01 in a critical Watergate tape.
01:10:03 Reactions of disbelief and anger
01:10:12 My God! Pat!
01:10:16 - Pat!
01:10:19 - Has he had chest pains?
01:10:22 - Has he been short of breath?
01:10:25 - Why T.B.?
01:10:30 - Lie down on there.
01:10:33 Richard.
01:10:36 Okay, ladies,
01:10:43 - Please lie down, Dick.
01:10:46 Dick.
01:10:52 - Richard?
01:10:58 Maybe a trip
01:11:01 Daddy, did--
01:11:43 Vice President Agnew
01:11:45 pleading no contest to charges
01:11:49 This follows Watergate
01:11:51 Archibald Cox`s
01:11:54 into President Nixon`s finances.
01:11:56 - Apparently, the president
01:11:58 -in the years 1 970, `7 1 and `72,
01:12:02 and may have used government
01:12:06 Where`s the blood coming from?
01:12:08 Well, he`s got an acute viral pneumonia
01:12:12 - lf a clot were to break loose,
01:12:17 The president, recovering,
01:12:19 But Archibald Cox has declared war
01:12:25 Never! Over my dead body!
01:12:28 l`ll never give up my tapes
01:12:30 Kennedy-loving,
01:12:33 This could trigger the impeachment.
01:12:36 l appointed three of those bastards,
01:12:40 Can the president afford
01:12:43 Who the hell does Cox think
01:12:47 l`m honest.
01:12:50 You know, that son of a bitch Cox,
01:12:55 The last gasp
01:12:58 Yeah, they got the hell
01:13:00 so they now they gotta squeal

01:16:44 Acting Attorney General

01:17:30 - We`re doing the best we can, sir.
01:17:32 Well, would you have us
01:17:34 We could. We could write
01:17:36 Cut all these ''goddamns``

01:18:28 Five seconds, Mr. President.
01:18:32 three, two--
01:18:40 Good evening,
01:18:43 Tonight, l`m taking an action...
01:18:45 unprecedented in the history
01:18:48 l had no knowledge of the cover-up
01:18:51 - Oh, l think l`m going to throw up.
01:18:54 ...no payment to Hunt
01:18:57 - He`s completely
01:18:59 l`ve made my mistakes.
01:19:01 But in all my years of public life,
01:19:05 - Can you imagine what this man...
01:19:07 -would have been
01:19:09 l`ve earned every penny.
01:19:11 ln all of my years of public life,
01:19:14 - lt`s a tragedy, because he
01:19:19 But he had the defects
01:19:22 - Now, l made $250,000 from a book...
01:19:25 Does anybody really care anymore?
01:19:27 which many of you
01:19:30 -Also, in that period,
01:19:34 and $250,000 every year.
01:19:37 When l, in 1 968...
01:19:39 decided to become a candidate
01:19:42 l decided to clean the decks
01:19:46 And so, that`s where the money
01:19:51 That`s what we have
01:19:54 Because people have got to know
01:19:57 president`s a crook.
01:19:59 Well, l am not a crook.
01:20:01 -l`ve earned everything l have--
01:20:04 -Everything l`ve earned--
01:20:07 And l always tell her that
01:20:11 There has never been
01:20:14 Not in this administration.
01:20:17 Now, let me just say this.
01:20:19 And l want to say this
01:20:22 The Supreme Court ruled today
01:20:26 executive privilege cannot
01:20:30 - all subpoenaed tapes.
01:20:31 -Firestorm on Capitol Hill--
01:20:34 to recommend impeachment
01:20:36 The deliberations now go
01:20:39 ln its report,
01:20:41 that Nixon obstructed justice
01:20:45 that he encouraged his aides
01:20:48 and that Nixon abused the powers
01:20:51 ln a separate report,
01:20:53 details the misuse
01:20:55 the F.B.l., the C.l.A.
01:20:59 lt denounces the Plumbers
01:21:02 of whether the United States
01:21:21 Come in.
01:21:34 Victory At Sea, Al. Henry.
01:21:37 The Pacific theater.
01:21:40 Christ,you can almost hear
01:21:49 l`m afraid we have
01:21:53 Excuse me, gentlemen.
01:21:59 June 23rd, `72, sir.
01:22:05 Your instructions to Haldeman
01:22:08 and the F.B.l.
01:22:10 So?
01:22:12 Your lawyers feel that...
01:22:18 That`s totally out of context.
01:22:20 Sir, the deadline is today.
01:22:26 Can we get around this, Al?
01:22:29 lt`s the Supreme Court, sir. You--
01:22:31 You don`t get around it.
01:22:37 lf--
01:22:40 lf you resign,you can keep
01:22:44 You could fight them for years.
01:22:49 What if l stay?
01:22:55 You have the army.
01:22:57 The army?
01:23:01 Lincoln used it.
01:23:09 - We`ll have civil war.
01:23:17 Oh, God.
01:23:19 We can`t survive this, sir.
01:23:24 They also...
01:23:26 have you instructing Dean
01:23:30 There`s nothing in that statement
01:23:33 But, sir,you talked about opening up
01:23:39 - That`s right.
01:23:43 - The one with the 1 8-minute gap.
01:23:46 You mentioned
01:23:49 Sooner or later, they`re going
01:23:53 They`re going to want to know
01:23:56 lt`s gone. No one will ever
01:24:02 They might...
01:24:08 And we both know it`s possible.
01:24:15 l know for a fact
01:24:22 l`ve spoken to Ford.
01:24:23 There`s a very strong chance
01:24:28 l don`t need a goddamned deal,
01:24:32 This is something that you
01:24:39 l thought you`d rather
01:24:48 l`ll wait outside.
01:24:56 Sir.
01:24:58 May l say, sir,
01:25:02 it will paralyze the nation
01:25:10 You always had
01:25:13 When to give...
01:25:16 and when to take.
01:25:20 How do you think Mao
01:25:25 Do you think
01:25:27 after all the great things
01:25:30 as some kind of--
01:25:33 of crooks?
01:25:35 They will understand.
01:25:37 To be undone by a third-rate burglary
01:25:45 History will treat you far more kindly
01:25:49 Yeah.
01:25:51 lt depends on who writes
01:25:55 l`m not a quitter.
01:25:58 And l`m not stupid either.
01:26:01 The trial would kill me.
01:26:05 They won`t get it.
01:26:08 Fuck `em.
01:26:31 lf they harass you, l, too, will resign,
01:26:35 Don`t be stupid.
01:26:41 You always saw the big picture.
01:26:47 You were my equal in many ways.
01:26:59 You`re the only friend l got, Henry.
01:27:05 Do you ever pray?
01:27:08 You know, believe in a...
01:27:12 supreme being?
01:27:15 Uh, not really.
01:27:18 You mean, on my knees?
01:27:23 My mother used to pray a lot.
01:27:28 lt`s been a long time
01:27:38 Let`s pray, Henry.
01:27:41 Let`s pray a little.
01:27:43 Just you and me.
01:27:54 l hope this doesn`t
01:27:56 No, sir, not at all. No.
01:27:59 This is not going to leak, is it?
01:28:06 Don`t be too proud, Henry.
01:28:09 Never be too proud to go
01:28:26 God.
01:28:34 How can a--
01:28:36 How can a country
01:28:40 Wh-- What have l done wrong?
01:28:45 l opened China.
01:28:47 l made peace with Russia.
01:28:50 l ended the war.
01:28:55 l did what l thought was right.
01:29:03 God, why do they hate me so?
01:29:06 lt`s unbelievable.
01:29:12 Oh, M-Mom, l`m sorry.
01:29:16 l-l didn`t mean it.
01:29:19 l don`t know why
01:29:22 l can`t believe it.
01:29:31 Al.
01:29:48 They smelled the blood on me
01:29:54 That rusty, metallic smell.
01:29:58 - l know it well, sir.
01:30:02 - Sir?
01:30:06 l mean, everyone suffered so much.
01:30:09 Their boys killed.
01:30:12 Uh, they need
01:30:16 You know,
01:30:20 Mars,Jupiter.
01:30:26 l am that blood, General.
01:30:31 l am that sacrifice.
01:30:34 ln the highest place of all.
01:30:41 Yeah. All leaders
01:30:46 Things won`t be the same
01:30:49 No, l played by the rules.
01:30:52 The rules changed right
01:30:55 There`s no respect
01:31:01 No, people are cynical.
01:31:04 The press--
01:31:09 People spit on soldiers.
01:31:12 Government secrets mean nothing.
01:31:16 l pity the next guy
01:31:22 Good night, gentlemen.
01:31:30 Mr. President.
01:32:09 When they look at you,
01:32:17 When they look at me...
01:32:20 they see what they are.
01:32:27 Dick, please don`t.
01:32:37 l can`t.
01:32:39 l don`t have the strength anymore.
01:32:44 lt`ll be over soon.
01:32:47 No, it`s gonna start now.
01:32:50 Oh, Buddy.
01:32:53 lf l could just sleep.
01:32:55 - lf l could just sleep.
01:32:59 Yeah.
01:33:05 You know, once when
01:33:10 my mother gave me
01:33:14 she made me swallow it.
01:33:16 lt made me throw up
01:33:20 l--
01:33:22 l wish l could do that now.
01:33:31 l`m so afraid.
01:33:34 There`s darkness out there.
01:33:39 l could always see
01:33:43 But it`s dark out there.
01:33:47 God, l`ve always been
01:33:53 Buddy.
01:34:22 There are many fine careers.
01:34:24 This country needs good farmers,
01:34:29 good plumbers, good carpenters.
01:34:36 l remember my old man.
01:34:39 l think that they would`ve
01:34:43 sort of a little man,
01:34:46 Well, he didn`t
01:34:52 You know what he was? He was
01:34:57 Then he was a farmer.
01:35:00 Then he had a lemon ranch.
01:35:02 lt was the poorest lemon ranch
01:35:06 He sold it
01:35:12 And then he was a grocer.
01:35:15 But he was a great man
01:35:21 And every job counts,
01:35:24 regardless of what happens.
01:35:28 Nobody will ever write a book,
01:35:32 Well, l guess all of you would
01:35:39 My mother was a saint.
01:35:43 And l think of her...
01:35:45 two boys dying of tuberculosis...
01:35:48 and seeing each of them die.
01:35:51 And when they died--
01:35:58 Yes, she will have no books
01:36:04 But she was a saint.
01:36:09 Now, however,
01:36:13 l remember something, uh,
01:36:17 when his first wife died
01:36:22 He thought the light had gone
01:36:25 But he went on, and he
01:36:29 but as an ex-president
01:36:32 always in the arena,
01:36:36 sometimes right,
01:36:39 But he was a man.
01:36:42 And as l leave, that`s an example
01:36:48 See, we think sometimes
01:36:51 that don`t go the right way--
01:36:54 we think that when
01:36:57 uh, when we lose an election...
01:37:00 or when we suffer defeat,
01:37:04 Not true.
01:37:06 lt`s only a beginning, always...
01:37:09 because the greatness comes not
01:37:13 but the greatness comes
01:37:17 when you take some knocks,
01:37:21 when sadness comes.
01:37:23 Because only if you`ve been
01:37:28 can you ever know
01:37:33 to be on the highest mountain.
01:37:39 So, l say to you
01:37:42 we leave,proud of the people who have
01:37:47 and served this government
01:37:50 We want you to continue to serve
01:37:55 Remember, always give your best.
01:37:59 Never get discouraged.
01:38:01 Never be petty.
01:38:03 Always remember,
01:38:07 but those who hate you don`t win
01:38:12 and then,
01:38:16 And so we leave
01:38:19 and good spirits
01:38:22 And l say to each
01:38:24 not only will we always
01:38:27 but always you will be
01:38:32 and you`ll be in our prayers.
01:38:37 And only then will you find
01:38:40 ''peace at the center.`'
01:38:57 He gave of himself
01:39:01 and devotion to duty.
01:39:03 Richard Nixon was buried
01:39:06 on April 26, 1 994...
01:39:09 less than a year after
01:39:14 Nixon always maintained that if he
01:39:18 the North Vietnamese would not have
01:39:23 ln a sideshow, Cambodian society was
01:39:28 The second half
01:39:30 will be known
01:39:33 ln his absence, Russia
01:39:35 returned to a decade of high-budget
01:39:40 Nixon, who was pardoned
01:39:43 lived to write six books...
01:39:46 and travel the world
01:39:49 For the remainder of his life, he fought
