00:00:39 The Pelican Brief
00:03:14 Any signs got my name on them?
00:03:17 Quite a few.
00:03:19 What do they say?
00:03:22 The usual.
00:03:24 "Death to Rosenberg. "
00:03:26 "Retire Rosenberg. "
00:03:29 "Cut off the oxygen. "
00:03:32 That's my favorite.
00:03:37 Of course, you, Mr. Grantham...
00:03:39 ...did pretty good by me
00:03:43 "Rosenberg equals the government
00:03:47 ...the individual over government,
00:03:51 ...and the Indians, oh,
00:03:55 With all due respect,
00:03:59 From one of your unnamed
00:04:03 Senior White House bastard,
00:04:06 Got in there by...
00:04:07 ...stirring up these people,
00:04:13 Never fails to amaze me...
00:04:15 ...what a man will do
00:06:46 Yes?
00:06:47 Looking for Mr. Sneller.
00:06:50 Yes, Mr. Edwin F. Sneller.
00:07:25 Hello.
00:07:27 All the money must be there
00:07:30 It will be there
00:07:34 It will be finished.
00:07:42 May I help you?
00:07:45 - What would you like?
00:07:48 ...scrambled eggs, whole-wheat toast
00:07:51 It'll be about 15 minutes.
00:07:53 When we substitute
00:07:56 ...violence for principle,
00:07:59 ...to overcome our capacity for reason.
00:08:01 Passion and self-interest
00:08:06 ...which brings us
00:08:09 A police officer entered Mr. Hardwick's
00:08:14 ...for an unpaid violation
00:08:18 They caught him with an open beer.
00:08:20 When he entered
00:08:23 ...he found him in bed with a man.
00:08:26 The officer arrested Hardwick...
00:08:28 ...for violating Georgia's statute
00:08:31 Even though Georgia dropped the case...
00:08:34 ...Hardwick challenged
00:08:38 Now, what was his claim?
00:08:40 - That it violates the right of privacy.
00:08:45 He's got the right to do
00:08:49 But what if he decided to sell drugs
00:08:55 Those actions don't fit
00:08:58 The court, beginning with Griswold...
00:09:00 ...has limited the right of privacy
00:09:04 ...which are deeply personal,
00:09:08 ...to define who we are.
00:09:10 But is that a constitutional claim?
00:09:13 ...right to define oneself
00:09:16 It's not even in the Bill of Rights.
00:09:18 If the State of Georgia can regulate
00:09:22 ...engaged in private with consenting
00:09:25 The Constitution ensures
00:09:28 If there's no right of privacy
00:09:32 ...we sacrifice the liberty the framers
00:09:35 The Supreme Court disagreed with you.
00:09:38 They found that the statute
00:09:41 Why?
00:09:42 They're wrong.
00:10:07 So all three of you girls
00:10:12 Sexual attraction.
00:10:14 You mean he's just got it?
00:10:16 Does he ever!
00:10:18 What you're saying...
00:10:20 ...is that if you could clone
00:10:23 Okay, tell us, what is your secret?
00:10:27 I'm not sure I can say on TV.
00:10:29 But what I can say is
00:10:32 A very big secret.
00:10:36 My goodness gracious!
00:10:39 Hope my mom's not watching.
00:10:41 She hopes so too!
00:10:42 Ma, I was just kidding.
00:10:44 Ladies, have you changed
00:10:47 You still like him?
00:10:49 I like big guys!
00:10:52 I think your fan club has increased.
00:10:54 Everything has increased!
00:13:42 They found Rosenberg around 1 A.M.
00:13:45 His nurse was also murdered.
00:13:47 Jensen was found two hours later
00:13:50 Voyles called me, wildly upset.
00:13:55 He and Giminski are on the way.
00:13:57 Yes. The CIA should be involved,
00:14:00 You must wait two hours to address
00:14:06 A coat and tie may seem a bit rehearsed.
00:14:09 You want me to talk to the nation in a
00:14:14 Mr. President...
00:14:16 ...I've already told Justice
00:14:21 Restructuring the court
00:14:24 Mr. President.
00:14:27 Mr. Voyles,
00:14:30 It's too soon.
00:14:31 We'll have ballistics
00:14:34 I would like to have a report
00:14:39 You're assuming it broke down.
00:14:42 We have two dead judges, both of whom
00:14:47 Bob, I'd like a straight answer.
00:14:49 Are these killings in any way
00:14:53 ...or to any other agency
00:14:57 I'm shocked you'd think that.
00:14:59 Bob, just look into it, okay?
00:15:02 I suggest we meet back here at five.
00:15:05 Five, gentlemen.
00:15:15 It's rally-around-the-leader time.
00:15:18 Your approval ratings will go
00:15:22 That's the weather
00:15:25 We interrupt our program now
00:15:28 In a special address,
00:15:31 ...the president of the United States.
00:15:35 My fellow Americans...
00:15:37 ...our country has suffered
00:15:41 Last night...
00:15:44 ...Supreme Court Justices
00:15:48 ...were assassinated.
00:15:51 These assassinations may be an
00:15:57 ...of our government.
00:15:59 But I can assure each...
00:16:02 ...and every American...
00:16:04 ...that these dastardly acts
00:16:10 Everything...
00:16:12 ...is being and will be done
00:16:16 ...or culprits to justice.
00:16:20 For justice must...
00:16:22 ...and shall prevail.
00:16:26 I wish you could have known him
00:16:30 Last time I saw him,
00:16:33 That's why they killed him.
00:16:35 That mind was still a threat.
00:16:39 But why kill him now,
00:16:43 Maybe they couldn't take a chance
00:16:47 So why Jensen?
00:16:49 He and Rosenberg had almost
00:16:54 That's what they should look for.
00:16:57 Decisions on which they both agreed.
00:17:01 Boy, if there ever was a moment
00:17:08 One day at a time, right?
00:17:21 We're talking a conspiracy,
00:17:25 If we've let foreign terrorists in,
00:17:30 The intelligence community can't be
00:17:35 Denton, who are your suspects?
00:17:38 This has to be kept very quiet.
00:17:41 Of course.
00:17:46 At least 11 Underground Army members
00:17:51 ...and we suspect them in at least
00:17:55 ...porno houses,
00:17:58 The truth is,
00:18:04 Correct?
00:18:07 Watch your claws.
00:18:15 Gray Grantham covers the
00:18:19 You actually interviewed
00:18:23 ...before he was shot on,
00:18:27 Did he say anything that might shed
00:18:32 Yes. He spoke about things...
00:18:33 ...off the record,
00:18:38 But I think it would be appropriate
00:18:42 He said, "The campaign waged
00:18:45 ...in its manipulation of the
00:18:50 ...had been so exploitive and divisive
00:18:55 You know, that Grantham's
00:18:59 Everyone wants to know
00:19:03 That includes me.
00:19:06 You know what they say:
00:19:11 What do they recommend for anguish?
00:19:15 The library. I studied a printout
00:19:18 I even made a list of possible suspects.
00:19:21 And then threw it away
00:19:26 Then you looked for areas
00:19:30 Exactly.
00:19:31 Jensen generally protected the rights
00:19:35 Some notable exceptions.
00:19:37 He wrote 3 majority opinions
00:19:41 And almost always supported
00:19:43 So they might have been assassinated
00:19:48 As yet, I rule no one out.
00:19:51 Everyone is assuming the motive
00:19:54 Or an attempt to influence
00:19:58 What if the issue involved
00:20:01 A case that involves
00:20:04 - Can I help you?
00:20:08 Why?
00:20:10 It's public record, isn't it?
00:20:12 Semi-public.
00:20:14 Are you familiar with
00:20:19 This file has the pleading...
00:20:21 ...and correspondence.
00:20:24 When was the trial?
00:20:26 Went on for 2 months.
00:20:28 Not perfected yet.
00:22:02 So, who done it?
00:22:05 You have some obscure suspect unknown
00:22:09 ...Secret Service
00:22:13 I had one...
00:22:15 ...which I have now discarded.
00:22:19 You skipped class, ignored me for a
00:22:23 Let me see it.
00:22:26 Don't laugh. It was ludicrous of me
00:22:31 Hubris of the young, huh?
00:22:33 Don't knock the hubris that I love.
00:22:42 I'm leaving tomorrow.
00:22:44 I'm going up to Rosenberg's memorial
00:22:51 I went through Rosenberg's decisions
00:22:56 ...and in the back of my mind
00:23:00 ...to do a book on him.
00:23:02 No one could do it better.
00:23:05 I started making notes...
00:23:09 ...about what he meant to me:
00:23:18 I started to get very thirsty.
00:23:26 I deserted you this week.
00:23:28 Not the greatest timing.
00:23:30 You're here to study law,
00:23:36 It's Alice.
00:23:40 Want to come out with me for a burger?
00:23:43 No, thanks.
00:23:45 It might do you good to get out.
00:23:48 I'm fine, thanks.
00:23:50 You sure?
00:23:54 Okay, bye.
00:24:00 Hey, Sarge.
00:24:01 Hey, son.
00:24:05 Dark coffee, three sugars.
00:24:07 So how's the president?
00:24:09 Which one?
00:24:11 Not Coal, the real one.
00:24:12 Cool and mellow.
00:24:14 Would you believe he's all tore up
00:24:19 And all fired up about...
00:24:21 ...restructuring the court.
00:24:23 Thinks it'll make his place in history.
00:24:25 Sounds like Coal.
00:24:28 There's a short list of nominees.
00:24:31 The original had 20 or so names,
00:24:35 What about the investigation?
00:24:37 I haven't heard much...
00:24:39 ...but I'll keep my ears open.
00:24:41 - I know you will. Thanks.
00:24:44 I'll see you later.
00:24:46 Mellow, mellow, mellow.
00:24:51 Martini, please.
00:24:53 Good day.
00:24:56 Another coffee, please.
00:25:00 You read the Grantham article.
00:25:02 It had me running around all day.
00:25:05 Coal blasted the director, saying the
00:25:09 The director said Coal had leaked them
00:25:14 Coal ran the most divisive campaign
00:25:18 ...and the president did nothing.
00:25:21 I'd like to have seen your name
00:25:24 We all voted you
00:25:28 These days, it's hard enough
00:25:33 How old is she, this time?
00:25:36 Twenty-four. But she's...
00:25:39 ...extremely mature.
00:25:42 At 24, she's mature.
00:25:45 I don't know if I believe that.
00:25:48 No, I don't. She's not a puppy dog
00:25:52 Thank God.
00:25:55 Who killed them, Gavin?
00:25:57 I'm just a lawyer with the Bureau,
00:26:02 But, as I recall, you have great ears.
00:26:05 To be honest, we don't have a clue.
00:26:10 My girlfriend wrote
00:26:14 ...on who might have ordered
00:26:17 Your girlfriend has a theory?
00:26:21 Here, take a look at it. You'll get
00:26:45 Is this Gray Grantham?
00:26:48 Sorry to call at such a crazy hour.
00:26:53 I can't call from home or the office.
00:26:56 What kind of office?
00:26:58 I'm an attorney.
00:27:00 Private or government?
00:27:02 I'd rather not say.
00:27:05 I may know something
00:27:09 Are you recording this?
00:27:11 Can this call be traced?
00:27:14 I'm not recording it or tracing it.
00:27:17 I may know who killed them.
00:27:22 What's your name?
00:27:24 Garcia.
00:27:28 That's not your real name.
00:27:32 I think I saw something at the office
00:27:38 Do you have a copy?
00:27:43 I need to think about this.
00:27:45 - I understand.
00:27:49 Listen, I promise you...
00:27:52 ...I will protect you
00:28:02 Hello.
00:28:18 Got you.
00:28:28 Mr. Grantham's not here,
00:28:35 It's Garcia.
00:28:38 Mr. Garcia...
00:28:40 ...I've gone to jail
00:28:45 I know what kind of hell
00:28:49 You're clearly a decent human being,
00:28:53 But could you live with yourself
00:28:59 MORGAN
00:29:33 Taxi!
00:29:43 French authorities reviewed footage
00:29:47 ...and think they recognized a face
00:29:52 He may have arrived here on a flight
00:29:59 Anything else?
00:30:01 Maybe a small new wrinkle.
00:30:05 What's the wrinkle?
00:30:06 It's a theory that surfaced
00:30:10 Voyles is really intrigued by it.
00:30:13 He's afraid it might be damaging
00:30:19 How's that?
00:30:20 It's all there in the brief.
00:30:32 It's amateur stuff...
00:30:34 ...but how often does something make
00:30:37 He didn't exactly sweat in front of us.
00:30:40 But his stone face showed
00:30:43 Did he have any symptoms?
00:30:45 As I told you, the president
00:30:49 I wish I was in as good shape.
00:30:51 Was this timed to counter
00:30:54 Why didn't I think of that?
00:30:56 He hasn't decided whether to run again.
00:30:58 When will he decide?
00:31:00 Do you really expect me to answer that?
00:31:03 One rumor I can deny is
00:31:07 Although could you blame him?
00:31:11 Thank you again.
00:31:14 Commander, go downstairs and tell them
00:31:19 Yes, sir!
00:31:22 It's killing the press
00:31:24 Good.
00:31:27 This is...
00:31:29 ...a brief...
00:31:31 ...written by an eager-beaver
00:31:34 It's a theory about the assassinations.
00:31:38 And indirectly...
00:31:39 ...it implicates the White House.
00:31:43 The premise is so far-fetched
00:31:47 But Director Voyles, for reasons
00:31:51 ...is going after it.
00:31:56 Well, we...
00:31:58 We can't interfere
00:32:02 You should ask Giminski
00:32:05 When we confirm that this is garbage,
00:32:11 It's domestic.
00:32:14 The CIA can't go nosing around.
00:32:18 Yes, technically.
00:32:22 What about...
00:32:23 ...your friend...
00:32:25 ...Barr, and the Unit,
00:32:29 I've spoken to Barr.
00:32:32 They're very good
00:32:34 ...but they aren't the CIA.
00:32:37 How does it implicate the White House?
00:32:42 One name.
00:32:45 Someone we both know?
00:33:11 Mr. President...
00:33:20 I've decided my agenda for the future.
00:33:23 I'll stay in bed...
00:33:25 ...drink...
00:33:28 ...make love...
00:33:31 ...and forget the whole damn business.
00:33:35 You don't approve.
00:33:38 What about the book on Rosenberg?
00:33:40 You should write it.
00:33:43 - Let's go.
00:33:45 You have the youth, the energy,
00:33:49 You'd be perfect.
00:33:51 Can I have the keys?
00:33:59 I'm perfectly capable of driving.
00:34:02 You've drunk too much.
00:34:08 Give me the keys.
00:34:11 Remember the Mashed Potato?
00:34:14 - You're too young.
00:34:16 Do you remember the Fishback?
00:34:19 - The Slide?
00:34:21 - Please what?
00:34:23 Give me the keys.
00:34:27 You'll walk?
00:34:31 Have a nice stroll.
00:34:43 Miss Shaw!
00:34:46 You take my breath away!
00:34:56 Thomas!
00:35:01 Oh, my God!
00:35:22 Watch the door.
00:35:27 I'm Sergeant Rupert, NOPD.
00:35:31 You'll be safe in my car.
00:35:38 Your name?
00:35:47 Darby Shaw.
00:35:53 Let's go.
00:36:02 Is this your car?
00:36:07 Come here.
00:36:10 I'm Lieutenant Olsen, NOPD.
00:36:12 I'm taking you to the hospital.
00:36:15 Check the plates.
00:36:18 Did you know the man in the car?
00:36:26 Thomas Callahan.
00:36:39 It'll be a few minutes.
00:36:42 Are you sure that the man who
00:36:52 We don't have a record of a cop
00:36:55 ...has no record of the tag numbers of
00:37:02 I'll go move the car.
00:37:05 All right?
00:40:14 Gavin Verheek?
00:40:17 This is Darby Shaw.
00:40:20 We have a mutual friend.
00:40:23 Thomas gave you a copy of my theory.
00:40:25 Yes, he did.
00:40:27 Where is it?
00:40:29 I read it and I showed it
00:40:32 ...who sent it to Director Voyles.
00:40:35 Has it been seen outside of the FBI?
00:40:37 I can't answer that.
00:40:40 Then I won't tell you
00:40:44 Okay, yes.
00:40:46 It's been seen outside the FBI,
00:40:51 He's dead, Gavin.
00:40:53 He was murdered. Someone planted
00:40:56 I got lucky, but they're after me.
00:41:01 What's your phone number?
00:41:04 Not so fast.
00:41:06 Come on! Thomas Callahan
00:41:10 I'll have agents pick you up.
00:41:14 Thomas is dead because he talked
00:41:18 VERHEEK'S WIFE: Turn up the TV,
00:41:25 Down.
00:41:32 Mr. President.
00:41:35 Sit down. You must see this.
00:41:40 You have your first audience.
00:41:42 Over. Roll over.
00:41:46 Roll over.
00:41:47 How serious is this Pelican thing?
00:41:50 I've assigned 14 agents in New Orleans.
00:41:53 I doubt if there's anything to it,
00:41:57 I don't have to tell you...
00:41:59 ...how much trouble and pain
00:42:03 ...if the press gets wind of it.
00:42:05 Oh, well, you got half of it.
00:42:11 I just wish...
00:42:12 ...that you'd...
00:42:14 ...back off the thing...
00:42:17 I mean...
00:42:18 ...it's a goose chase.
00:42:21 Are you asking me to ignore a suspect,
00:42:26 If the press...
00:42:28 ...gets wind of what you're after
00:42:31 We'll be crucified.
00:42:37 So you're asking me to back off?
00:42:43 Back off and chase the real suspects.
00:42:47 Ignore it for a few weeks, that's all.
00:42:51 Your hatchet man did a real number on me
00:42:55 ...over the security...
00:42:57 ...we provided Jensen and Rosenberg.
00:43:01 Get that pit bull off my ass and
00:45:27 May I have your card?
00:45:30 I'll pay with cash.
00:45:34 Verheek.
00:45:37 What did Voyles say?
00:45:40 Mr. Voyles has been unavailable.
00:45:43 But I will try to speak to him
00:45:49 I expected more.
00:45:51 There's a memorial service tomorrow.
00:45:54 I'll be there tonight.
00:45:56 I think we should meet.
00:45:58 Darby, I can save your life.
00:46:02 You can't even talk to the director.
00:46:07 Where will you stay?
00:46:10 At the Westin, by the river.
00:46:15 Okay.
00:46:44 She's watching TV.
00:46:47 GIMINSKl: They've been looking under
00:46:50 She'll be dead in 48 hours.
00:46:52 I'll give her 72.
00:46:55 GIMINSKl:
00:46:58 All right, Bob.
00:47:00 Hooten, stay.
00:47:08 This means her little brief
00:47:13 Will you notify the president?
00:47:16 GIMINSKY:
00:47:18 ...means notifying Coal.
00:47:21 Gray Grantham's article
00:47:25 ...maintains that, according
00:47:27 ...the Mid-Eastern terrorist, Khamel...
00:47:30 ...may be among those who assassinated
00:47:35 Those sources say that a country known
00:47:40 ...may have hired Khamel.
00:47:47 It's Garcia.
00:47:48 I'm on the corner of
00:47:52 Take down my license number;
00:47:56 8-5-6...
00:47:59 ...V-N-N.
00:48:03 Right.
00:48:05 Ten minutes.
00:48:14 My keys!
00:48:21 GARCIA:
00:48:25 Let's get together anyway.
00:48:29 You'll feel better if we meet
00:48:33 I have a wife and daughter.
00:48:35 There's a chance they know that I know.
00:48:38 The guys at the firm?
00:48:40 I didn't tell you I was in a firm.
00:48:43 You go to work too early
00:48:46 You must work at a firm
00:48:49 ...to work at least 100 hours a week.
00:49:12 Garcia, we can work this thing out
00:49:17 Garcia?
00:49:21 Who's this?
00:49:22 Is this Gray Grantham?
00:49:24 Yes. Who's this?
00:49:27 Have you heard of the Pelican Brief?
00:49:30 The what?
00:49:32 Pelican Brief.
00:49:37 No. Never heard of it.
00:49:39 It's an unlikely little theory
00:49:43 A friend of mine took it to Washington.
00:49:45 He gave it to a friend in the FBI
00:49:49 My friend was killed in a car bomb.
00:49:52 Wait now.
00:49:54 Your friend took it to the FBI...
00:49:57 ...and then he was killed?
00:50:01 I can't tell you that.
00:50:04 How do you know all this?
00:50:07 I wrote the brief.
00:50:10 Are you a lawyer?
00:50:12 No.
00:50:15 Where are you calling from?
00:50:17 I'd rather you not
00:50:21 You called me.
00:50:23 What's your name?
00:50:25 - Alice.
00:50:29 Can you get a list of the major
00:50:34 Yes. Sure.
00:50:38 You know who did these killings?
00:50:42 Yes.
00:50:45 Let's cut to the chase.
00:50:48 Let's take it slow.
00:50:50 When?
00:51:25 Hi.
00:51:27 How are you?
00:51:29 How are you?
00:51:32 Did you get into my apartment?
00:51:35 Your computer's gone.
00:51:38 So are your floppy disks.
00:51:40 And your red expandable files.
00:51:44 I need you to do me a favor.
00:51:47 Go to the memorial service tomorrow...
00:51:51 ...and spread the word I called to say
00:51:56 And I won't be back until fall.
00:52:01 What is going on?
00:52:07 Are you okay about money?
00:52:11 I have the money my father left me.
00:52:16 Who are you hiding from?
00:52:23 I think you better go now, Alice.
00:52:33 It would be better for me if you go now.
00:52:54 That's not fair.
00:52:56 The prettiest girl in the Quarter,
00:53:02 I can't get you to give me a smile?
00:53:10 I saw that.
00:53:12 That's something.
00:53:22 Just one beer?
00:53:26 I've found my mission in life.
00:53:28 To make you smile.
00:53:30 You must find another mission.
00:53:41 Wait!
00:53:43 Will you marry me,
00:53:45 I know it's stupid,
00:53:49 I must go now.
00:53:51 Please, you're not going to
00:53:54 I'd walk a million miles
00:53:57 For one of your smiles
00:53:59 You beautiful
00:54:00 You wonderful girl
00:54:02 From the laundry
00:54:07 You've got the wrong girl.
00:54:12 Go get her.
00:54:43 Please, help me!
00:55:34 Looking for Mr. Sneller.
00:55:35 Mr. Sneller?
00:55:37 Yes, Mr. Edwin F. Sneller.
00:56:32 FRIEND:
00:56:35 Yes, I did.
00:56:36 I got a note from her.
00:56:40 But she's going to
00:56:55 I'll see you later.
00:57:23 Gavin, it's Darby.
00:57:26 I'd just about given up on you.
00:57:29 Tell me where you want to meet
00:57:33 I thought the FBI was not involved.
00:57:35 It's not involved, not yet.
00:57:38 We can get you out of the city tonight,
00:57:42 I promise you'll meet Voyles.
00:57:44 We'll go from there.
00:57:47 At noon tomorrow,
00:57:50 Wait, Riverwalk?
00:57:52 Wear a long sleeve shirt
00:57:56 Wait on the riverside
00:57:59 ...and I'll find you.
00:58:01 The riverside bandstand.
00:58:05 - How tall are you?
00:58:07 Your weight?
00:58:09 About 180,
00:58:12 I'll see you tomorrow.
00:58:14 Tomorrow.
01:00:36 Gavin, it's Darby.
01:00:38 I'd just about given up on you.
01:00:41 Tell me where you want to meet
01:00:45 I thought the FBI was not involved.
01:00:49 It's not involved, not yet.
01:00:51 I have friends.
01:00:53 We'll get you out of the city tonight,
01:00:57 I promise you'll meet Voyles.
01:01:00 We'll go from there.
01:01:02 At noon tomorrow,
01:01:07 Wear a long sleeve shirt
01:01:11 Wait on the riverside at the bandstand
01:01:14 The riverside bandstand?
01:01:19 - How tall are you?
01:01:21 Your weight?
01:01:23 About 180,
01:01:27 All right.
01:01:33 Tell me where you want to meet...
01:01:37 Tell me where you want to meet...
01:01:40 ...and within an hour
01:05:18 Mr. Sneller on line 2.
01:05:25 Khamel is dead.
01:05:29 - And the girl?
01:05:31 We lost her.
01:05:50 There's been another murder.
01:05:52 You remember my friend gave
01:05:58 The FBI friend was killed yesterday.
01:06:02 How do you know?
01:06:05 I was holding his hand.
01:06:08 ...in broad daylight
01:06:12 I'm very sorry.
01:06:14 I'm in New York now.
01:06:16 You'll have to give me
01:06:20 We get crank calls from people claiming
01:06:26 Something you can confirm?
01:06:28 Please.
01:06:29 Such as?
01:06:32 The name of the friend
01:06:39 Take your time.
01:06:42 Callahan.
01:06:45 His first name?
01:06:47 Thomas.
01:06:48 Where did it happen?
01:06:51 In New Orleans.
01:06:57 All right.
01:07:01 What's the name of the friend
01:07:05 Verheek.
01:07:07 Gavin Verheek.
01:07:10 Voyles' Chief Counsel.
01:07:12 I think that's more than enough.
01:07:16 I'll be on a plane this afternoon.
01:07:18 You must follow my instructions.
01:07:35 This is Gray Grantham.
01:07:39 That's right.
01:07:45 Got it.
01:08:02 Did you follow my instructions?
01:08:05 Yes.
01:08:37 You must think I'm crazy.
01:08:41 Yes, I did...
01:08:44 ...till I checked New Orleans.
01:08:47 Callahan was...
01:08:49 ...killed exactly as you said.
01:08:51 I also checked Verheek.
01:08:55 ...they found his body 2 days ago...
01:08:58 ...in a hotel room early in the morning.
01:09:02 He'd been dead for at least 8 hours.
01:09:07 That can't be.
01:09:11 Want to talk about the brief?
01:09:15 Everyone I've told
01:09:19 I'll take my chances.
01:09:22 You can't, under any circumstances,
01:09:26 ...or reveal how you got
01:09:29 Or publish anything until
01:09:33 Unless I can convince you otherwise.
01:09:35 You can't.
01:09:40 May I sit down?
01:09:45 Mind if I use a tape recorder?
01:09:59 Interesting read, isn't it?
01:10:03 What'd the president say?
01:10:06 He spoke to Voyles...
01:10:10 ...who will leave it alone for a while.
01:10:13 The president asked Voyles to back off?
01:10:16 We thought it was just another shot
01:10:20 That's obstruction of justice.
01:10:23 Assuming the brief turns out to be true.
01:10:26 If it does, you'll be the fall guy.
01:10:32 I won't be the only one.
01:10:34 The old Nixon two-step.
01:10:37 Don't even think that name.
01:10:39 Look at the hopeful side,
01:10:42 Good chance it won't come out.
01:10:46 What's up with Grantham?
01:10:48 We got his car phone.
01:10:52 Why not?
01:10:54 We almost got caught
01:11:01 Grantham knows about the brief.
01:11:04 He called 3 White House aides today...
01:11:07 ...and God knows who else.
01:11:09 What made you hone in
01:11:14 I remembered this piece
01:11:20 ...about the young lawyer
01:11:25 They said he'd committed suicide,
01:11:34 After the assassinations,
01:11:38 They said he had
01:11:42 ...but medication had taken care of it.
01:11:47 His doctor confirmed
01:11:50 They told the police
01:11:57 But the police
01:12:02 Exactly.
01:12:10 That's it.
01:12:17 Maybe we could...
01:12:19 ...finish up in the morning?
01:12:33 I'll be up late going over my notes...
01:12:35 ...while they're fresh in my head.
01:12:39 Call me when you wake up.
01:12:45 Try and get some sleep.
01:12:55 Mr. Grantham.
01:13:01 I know it sounds silly, but...
01:13:04 ...would you sleep on the sofa?
01:13:11 No problem.
01:13:20 Good night.
01:13:22 Listen...
01:13:24 At the risk of sounding old-fashioned...
01:13:28 ...isn't it time I knew your real name?
01:13:33 Darby Shaw.
01:13:36 What made you pick me,
01:13:42 Callahan was a fan.
01:13:55 Does the name Victor Mattiece
01:13:58 Money.
01:13:59 Power.
01:14:01 Influence.
01:14:04 He's made and lost several
01:14:10 In 1979...
01:14:12 ...his oil company punched some holes
01:14:16 A lot of oil.
01:14:18 He needed governmental permission...
01:14:21 ...to dredge a channel though
01:14:26 Enter Mattiece,
01:14:29 ...and as night follows day...
01:14:31 ...government permission
01:14:36 Mattiece is that close
01:14:40 ...when Green Fund...
01:14:41 ...an obscure environmental outfit...
01:14:43 ...trots down to the U.S. District court
01:14:48 ...to stop the entire operation.
01:14:51 Of course, Mattiece spares no expense
01:14:54 I don't think there's a top law firm
01:14:59 ...that he hasn't hired.
01:15:01 Fucking PBS!
01:15:04 By the time the Green Fund lawyers...
01:15:07 ...all two of them...
01:15:08 ...wade in, the joint ventures...
01:15:10 ...limited partnerships
01:15:14 ...form an impenetrable maze
01:15:18 Luckily for the Green Fund's lawsuit...
01:15:20 ...the heart of the new oil reserve
01:15:25 Osprey, egrets, pelicans,
01:15:30 The pelican becomes the hero.
01:15:33 After 30 years of contamination
01:15:38 ...the Louisiana brown pelican is
01:15:41 Green Fund seizes the bird
01:15:45 ...from around the country
01:15:49 It takes 7 years for the pelican suit
01:15:53 The 3-man jury, caring less
01:15:58 ...votes in favor of Mattiece.
01:16:01 But the judge rules to keep the
01:16:05 ...he thinks Green Fund has proven
01:16:09 ...a federally-protected species,
01:16:13 What's the lawsuit's status?
01:16:16 From the trial level...
01:16:18 ...it will be appealed to the Court
01:16:23 Any idea what the court will do?
01:16:25 It could be reversed.
01:16:27 Then the fun starts. If either side
01:16:32 ...they can appeal
01:16:35 From today, how long would it take
01:16:39 Anywhere from 3 to 5 years.
01:16:42 Rosenberg would have died.
01:16:44 But another president could be
01:16:48 So if you're Mattiece...
01:16:50 ...and you don't mind killing
01:16:53 ...now's the time to kill them,
01:16:57 But why Jensen?
01:16:59 He shared one piece
01:17:02 Protecting the environment.
01:17:47 I didn't mean to wake you.
01:17:57 You said that Mattiece hired law firms
01:18:03 Were there any in Washington?
01:18:06 Maybe two.
01:18:10 White & Blazevich...
01:18:14 ...and Brim, Stearns & Somebody.
01:18:18 Great!
01:18:20 I got a call from a lawyer in D.C...
01:18:22 ...who saw something
01:18:26 He backed out of our meeting.
01:18:30 He gave me a phony name,
01:18:34 How?
01:18:35 Long story. If he works at one of these
01:18:41 I hope you find him.
01:18:44 Come with me to Washington.
01:18:48 I've had enough.
01:18:51 If you're right about Mattiece,
01:18:54 It'll probably work.
01:18:56 How do you know?
01:18:58 I called the Herald morgue last night.
01:19:01 Two years ago, a reporter
01:19:04 ...on "Violations of
01:19:08 He found out that, hidden under
01:19:12 ...and PAC's and corporations,
01:19:17 ...by far...
01:19:19 ...to the president's campaign.
01:19:21 We ran a picture, with the article,
01:19:25 It was taken unbeknownst to either one.
01:19:28 In it, the president and Mattiece are
01:19:32 ...sipping on some bourbon,
01:19:35 The best of pals.
01:19:36 The captions said:
01:19:39 ...and Generous Contributor. "
01:19:43 Now if your brief is right
01:19:47 ...the president loses
01:19:50 The men around the president
01:19:53 I checked with my sources.
01:19:58 ...all said the brief doesn't exist.
01:20:02 You may be the only witness to the fact
01:20:07 ...so does justice.
01:20:12 Is that what Callahan would want?
01:20:18 He'd want me to see my 25th birthday.
01:20:22 Darby.
01:20:24 If this thing reaches as deep
01:20:29 ...they'll do anything
01:20:33 Where can you hide?
01:20:35 Go back to Washington.
01:20:46 They're all shook up
01:20:50 I expected that.
01:20:51 It's like the Gestapo over there.
01:20:54 They put me on medical leave
01:20:57 - What's wrong with you?
01:20:59 One thing I do know,
01:21:03 I'm worried about you, son.
01:21:09 Gray, it's Darby.
01:21:11 When you hear this, I'll be in the air
01:21:17 Try to understand.
01:21:20 I can't keep you on that story.
01:21:23 I'm sending you to Arkansas.
01:21:25 The Times, the networks...
01:21:27 ...are there checking out the judge
01:21:31 I need more time.
01:21:32 For what?
01:21:33 You lost your White House sources,
01:21:38 Not your best week.
01:21:41 You can't take me off this story.
01:21:45 What do you know for fact?
01:21:47 An unidentified guy says
01:21:51 He works in a law firm, you don't know
01:21:55 That's not very promising.
01:21:58 There's something there, I can smell it.
01:22:02 Evidence based on olfactory prowess is
01:22:07 Then there's a girl...
01:22:08 ...with her bird brief for which
01:22:11 Not yet.
01:22:12 She also cut off contact, something
01:22:17 They're waiting for you upstairs.
01:22:19 Everything she said about
01:22:23 The FBI says Verheek was killed
01:22:27 - That's what you told me.
01:22:29 And they said they knew of
01:22:32 What else would they say?
01:22:37 Let's look at what I have confirmed.
01:22:39 Callahan was killed.
01:22:43 Give it to the Times-Picayune.
01:22:47 I also found that Callahan clerked
01:22:50 Life is filled with odd coincidence.
01:22:52 Not a coincidence if the brief-
01:22:54 You have no confirmation
01:22:56 I confirmed Verheek and Callahan
01:22:59 They met here a few weeks ago,
01:23:03 - Supposition again.
01:23:06 On which she has based her suppositions.
01:23:11 You know what Mattiece could do?
01:23:13 I know what he has done already.
01:23:15 He has a bizarre history.
01:23:17 So do I, according to my ex-wife. It
01:23:21 But it means it's worth exploring.
01:23:25 Go down to that crappy cabin of yours
01:23:30 Prove you have a way to revitalize
01:23:37 But if I were you, I'd check
01:23:46 This is the story of
01:23:50 The story of a brilliant young lawyer
01:23:54 ...and wanted to fight to preserve it
01:23:58 ...until his abrupt death...
01:24:00 ...a few months ago.
01:24:03 His body was found in a lonely cottage,
01:24:08 There was a bullet in his head...
01:24:10 ...and a gun beside him.
01:24:12 The coroner and police
01:24:16 But he died sitting at a computer,
01:24:20 ...for what he called
01:24:24 His friends and family ask...
01:24:27 ...would anyone commit suicide
01:24:30 ...at such a time?
01:24:33 Tonight, Frontline explores
01:25:26 Who's there?
01:25:29 It's Darby!
01:25:51 I got your message.
01:25:55 If they bugged your phone,
01:26:05 Did you find that lawyer in D.C.?
01:26:08 Not yet.
01:26:10 My editor wants to take me
01:26:15 I could help you find him.
01:26:20 How'd you find me?
01:26:23 I called your editor.
01:26:27 He told you?
01:26:31 I told him I was your sister Mary
01:26:39 How'd you know I had a sister Mary?
01:26:43 You're not the only one doing research.
01:27:12 It was a beautiful service.
01:27:15 Thank you, Mr. President.
01:27:29 I'll have an announcement
01:27:42 It was the right thing to do,
01:27:54 You can't announce
01:27:56 You said they'd be vetted this weekend.
01:27:59 There must be a change in plans.
01:28:01 I don't understand.
01:28:03 The Pelican Brief.
01:28:06 What about the Pelican Brief?
01:28:09 I thought that was ancient history.
01:28:12 We believe that Grantham's
01:28:15 Mattiece will sue them
01:28:19 Not if it's true.
01:28:26 You think it's true?
01:28:29 I know what Grantham will write:
01:28:31 "A man who gave
01:28:34 ...had two Supreme Court Justices killed
01:28:37 ...could appoint
01:28:40 ...so his oil could be harvested. "
01:28:43 If Voyles says you told him to back off
01:28:47 Oh, Jesus!
01:28:52 There's a way to handle this.
01:28:54 Handle it how?
01:28:57 We appoint two nature-lovers
01:29:01 Good environmentalists
01:29:05 Meet with Voyles, in the presence
01:29:09 ...and demand an investigation
01:29:12 I'll leak the brief
01:29:15 Then we ride out the storm.
01:29:18 But there has to be some way to keep
01:29:23 I'm working on it.
01:29:26 What?
01:29:28 Mr. President...
01:29:30 ...you don't want to know.
01:29:42 What's this all about?
01:29:44 A trip to Mt. Vernon will do you good.
01:29:46 Are you losing it?
01:29:48 First I order you to go to Little Rock,
01:29:52 You refuse to tell me why,
01:29:55 ...your boss, I might add...
01:29:57 ...to drop everything
01:30:01 I thought of making you unemployed...
01:30:03 ...but you'd sue me for discrimination.
01:30:06 She's here.
01:30:08 - The bird girl?
01:30:11 - You could've told me.
01:30:13 By the way, refusing to tell me
01:30:17 ...didn't leave a good impression.
01:30:19 It's too risky to go to my apartment
01:30:22 - Where have you been?
01:30:25 This is a hell of a time
01:30:28 We're not in the same hotel.
01:30:31 It sounds like she's in control.
01:30:34 It's the only way she'd play.
01:30:36 So what if you can't find Garcia?
01:30:38 We go to plan B.
01:30:40 We attack the lawyers directly.
01:30:43 We go to plan C.
01:30:45 We didn't go that far.
01:30:48 I must be able to get in touch with you.
01:30:52 I'm at the Marbury Hotel, room 833.
01:30:56 Write it down.
01:31:00 You mind getting off at the next exit?
01:31:02 Why?
01:31:04 A tan car's been two cars behind us...
01:31:07 ...since we got on the parkway.
01:31:29 I thought it was following us.
01:31:31 Right.
01:32:15 Georgetown Law School, please.
01:32:24 Hurry.
01:33:31 Meet me by the stacks.
01:33:47 Someone was in my room.
01:33:51 Did you tell anyone where you were?
01:33:53 Smith Keen, but he'd never repeat it.
01:33:56 Did you tell him by phone?
01:33:58 No.
01:34:01 We were in his car.
01:34:03 Georgetown Law Center.
01:34:05 One moment, please.
01:34:07 This is Susan Johnson.
01:34:11 We're trying to reconstruct
01:34:15 May I have the names of your students
01:34:20 I'm from White & Blazevich.
01:34:25 Would you sign this, please?
01:34:34 - Thank you, Mr. Stevens.
01:34:37 I'll call these five and see who's home.
01:34:40 I'll take the two with no phone number
01:34:50 See you later.
01:34:57 I'm from the Washington Herald.
01:35:01 - ... Robert Akers and Laura Kaas.
01:35:03 No.
01:35:06 Are they in class this morning?
01:35:10 One moment, please.
01:35:19 Excuse me.
01:35:21 Do you have ID?
01:35:24 Could I speak to Dennis Maylor, please?
01:35:29 KEITH:
01:35:31 I'm sorry to bother you.
01:35:38 Akers has Criminal Procedure,
01:35:42 I'll try to find them. Maylor,
01:35:46 I can go to Maylor's.
01:35:50 Excuse me.
01:35:52 - Do you know Laura Kaas?
01:36:02 Do you recognize this man?
01:36:07 We're down to Akers and Linney.
01:36:09 Linney's phone was disconnected.
01:36:11 I'll get his class schedule.
01:36:13 I'll keep looking for Akers.
01:36:15 It's me again.
01:36:17 I need the class schedule
01:36:20 I'm sorry, Mr. Grantham.
01:36:22 A student you talked to called
01:36:27 No more class schedules for reporters.
01:36:41 Mr. Grantham.
01:36:44 I know Edward.
01:36:46 He's dropped out of school for a while.
01:36:51 Where is he?
01:36:53 His parents put him
01:36:56 He's being detoxified.
01:37:00 Look, he's a good guy.
01:37:04 Parklane Hospital.
01:37:31 Good afternoon.
01:37:34 May I see Edward Linney?
01:37:36 - What room is he in?
01:37:38 Gray Grantham, Washington Herald.
01:37:42 The law school said I could see him.
01:37:45 RECEPTIONIST:
01:37:48 We run this hospital
01:37:52 May I see your administrator?
01:37:55 I'll see if I can find him.
01:38:22 Mr. Grantham.
01:38:24 Great architecture.
01:38:26 I'm sorry, Mr. Grantham.
01:38:29 ADMINISTRATOR: Visitation
01:38:32 ...and then only family.
01:38:34 When will he be discharged?
01:38:36 ADMINISTRATOR:
01:38:40 Perhaps when his insurance expires?
01:38:45 Do you recognize that man?
01:38:49 What's his name?
01:38:51 That's the point, I don't know.
01:38:55 What is his name?
01:39:01 He works in the oil and gas section
01:39:09 Morgan.
01:39:13 Yes. Morgan.
01:39:16 His first name's something like...
01:39:18 ...Charles, but that's not it.
01:39:21 I can't tell you how grateful I am.
01:39:26 When you opened the door...
01:39:30 ...I thought I was hallucinating.
01:39:34 I'm sorry.
01:39:36 I'll take a hallucination like that...
01:39:40 ...anytime.
01:39:44 Take care of yourself.
01:39:50 SECURITY:
01:39:54 Visiting my brother.
01:39:55 Who is your brother?
01:39:57 Edward Linney.
01:40:00 This your sister?
01:40:08 Yes.
01:40:09 Leave her alone.
01:40:12 Mom will come on the weekend.
01:40:15 Sis?
01:40:17 Come back soon.
01:40:18 I'll try.
01:40:21 I know you'd agree with me about
01:40:25 ADMINISTRATOR:
01:40:27 We pride ourselves on our
01:40:31 Thank you very much for your time.
01:40:36 We'll be happy to have you back
01:40:45 Curtis Morgan, oil and gas.
01:40:58 White & Blazevich, please.
01:41:00 Second floor.
01:41:24 RECEPTIONIST:
01:41:25 Dorothy Blythe, to see Curtis Morgan.
01:41:30 Have a seat.
01:42:07 - You have a meeting with Mr. Morgan?
01:42:11 - When was your appointment?
01:42:14 May I ask why?
01:42:16 Obviously, I need an oil and gas lawyer.
01:42:20 Curtis Morgan is dead.
01:42:24 Why didn't anyone call me?
01:42:26 We have no record of your appointment.
01:42:29 What happened?
01:42:31 He was mugged a week ago.
01:42:33 Shot by street punks, we believe.
01:42:36 Do you have some identification?
01:42:39 He's Security.
01:42:40 Security for what?
01:42:43 Come with us,
01:42:46 After this treatment, I have no interest
01:43:07 They killed him!
01:43:18 I can't breathe!
01:43:35 It's all right.
01:43:38 Let it go.
01:43:44 It's all right.
01:43:53 We ran the story about a week ago.
01:43:57 Didn't make the Metro front page.
01:44:00 Curtis Morgan...
01:44:01 ...225 Willow Road, Bethesda.
01:44:04 225 Willow Road...
01:44:07 ...Bethesda.
01:44:09 That's what I wanted.
01:44:11 Report in before noon tomorrow.
01:44:16 You know...
01:44:17 ...good help is hard to find.
01:44:26 I'm going with you.
01:44:32 Look at me.
01:44:43 I want you to leave.
01:44:47 And if you need confirmation
01:44:51 I'm on my own.
01:44:56 What's changed your mind?
01:45:02 I want you to reach 25.
01:45:11 I'm coming.
01:45:41 Good evening.
01:45:42 I'm Grantham of the Herald.
01:45:45 - Could we see Mrs. Morgan?
01:45:50 I respect her privacy.
01:45:54 When did you people
01:45:58 I feel that way about most reporters.
01:46:04 ...3 times before he died.
01:46:06 I believe his death
01:46:10 She doesn't want to talk.
01:46:16 You change your mind...
01:46:19 ...I'll be at this number.
01:47:29 Mr. Grantham?
01:47:33 This is Mrs. Morgan.
01:47:36 Do you still want to see me?
01:47:42 Did you know your husband called me?
01:47:48 No. How would he know
01:47:51 I have no idea.
01:47:55 Did he keep any...
01:47:57 ...unusual documents...
01:47:59 ...or papers?
01:48:02 We have a lock box at the bank
01:48:06 I looked at it last Thursday.
01:48:12 On Saturday morning...
01:48:14 ...I was going through his...
01:48:18 ...desk in the bedroom.
01:48:22 I found something a bit unusual.
01:48:26 A key.
01:48:29 A key to what?
01:48:32 Another lock box.
01:48:36 Which bank?
01:48:39 Riggs Bank.
01:48:44 We've never banked there.
01:48:46 And you knew nothing
01:48:49 ...box?
01:48:51 Not until Saturday morning.
01:48:53 I figured...
01:48:56 ...I'll run by when I felt up to it.
01:48:59 Maybe you should check it, Mrs. Morgan.
01:49:04 Could be a clue to who killed him.
01:49:07 Are you saying Curtis was killed...
01:49:10 ...because he knew something
01:49:14 That's exactly what I'm saying.
01:49:17 Do you think there
01:49:22 ...that may reveal what Curtis knew
01:49:26 There could be.
01:49:31 My child's lost one parent.
01:49:37 I can't let her lose another.
01:49:41 I'll check it for you.
01:49:44 No one has to know you have the key.
01:49:50 They will only give it to his wife.
01:49:53 My partner's a woman.
01:49:57 I would have one condition.
01:49:59 If you find something that disparages
01:50:05 You have my word, Mrs. Morgan.
01:51:42 Where are the safe-deposit boxes?
01:51:44 SECURITY:
01:53:07 I need access to a box, please.
01:53:09 - The number, please?
01:53:14 - This box was rented two weeks ago.
01:53:18 - I assume you're Mrs. Morgan?
01:53:22 - The address?
01:53:26 - Phone number?
01:53:30 Who rented this box?
01:53:32 - My husband, Curtis D. Morgan.
01:53:40 510-96-8686.
01:53:44 Will you sign here, please?
01:53:47 May I help you?
01:53:48 I'd like to rent a box.
01:53:50 Will you have a seat?
01:53:55 You have a key?
01:53:56 Yes, I do.
01:54:00 Follow me.
01:55:42 It's a four-page affidavit...
01:55:45 ...signed under oath.
01:55:47 It's dated the day before
01:55:53 He worked at White & Blazevich
01:56:00 Listen to this!
01:56:01 During that time...
01:56:03 ...he worked for a client who
01:56:07 The client was a man
01:56:11 ...who he's never met.
01:56:13 Lots about the lawsuit,
01:56:17 Just as if you wrote it.
01:56:20 A partner named Sims Wakefield...
01:56:23 ...supervised the case for W & B.
01:56:28 He took files and documents
01:56:32 ...not related to the case.
01:56:34 When he got back to his own office, he
01:56:39 He'd inadvertently taken it
01:56:42 A copy of the memo
01:56:45 He copied the memo and left the memo
01:56:50 Next stop, Washington Herald!
01:56:55 No! Stop!
02:00:12 EDITOR: There was a car explosion
02:00:16 The police traced the car
02:00:20 It was rented yesterday by Grantham.
02:00:25 Have you heard from Grantham?
02:00:28 Not since yesterday.
02:00:31 I should've taken him off that story.
02:00:34 What story?
02:00:38 See what you can find.
02:01:02 Smith Keen...
02:01:04 ...meet Darby Shaw.
02:01:07 So, Mr. Grantham...
02:01:09 ...what the hell is going on?
02:01:21 Sweetheart, I'm down here
02:01:26 It's about two in the morning.
02:01:31 This is...
02:01:33 ...an affidavit...
02:01:37 ...concerning a memo
02:01:41 I'm going to trust you
02:01:46 The memo's from Velmano,
02:01:52 It was dated September 28th...
02:01:56 ...addressed to Wakefield and it read:
02:01:59 "Sims, advise client
02:02:03 The bench will sit much softer
02:02:07 The second retirement is a bit unusual.
02:02:12 Advise further that the pelican
02:02:16 ...assuming other factors. "
02:02:19 There's no signature.
02:02:21 Then Justices Rosenberg and Jensen
02:02:27 I firmly believe that this is
02:02:31 Memo doesn't mention Mattiece,
02:02:34 Wakefield had no other clients.
02:02:36 And no client had as much to gain
02:02:41 I thought that I was protecting us
02:02:47 You'll only see this if I'm gone,
02:02:52 I'm sorry, sweetheart.
02:02:59 I'll always be with you.
02:03:03 Always.
02:03:07 This is Marty Velmano. What a pleasure!
02:03:12 We're doing a story
02:03:15 ...and his involvement in the deaths
02:03:20 Great! We'll sue you for the next 20
02:03:25 Oh, this will be great.
02:03:27 Victor Mattiece will own the Herald.
02:03:30 Have you heard of the Pelican Brief?
02:03:35 We also have a copy of a memo
02:03:39 ...in which you suggest your client's
02:03:44 ...by the removal of Rosenberg
02:03:48 I noticed you waited till five.
02:03:51 An hour earlier, we could've
02:03:54 You deny you wrote the memo?
02:04:00 It's a fabrication.
02:04:03 You have no lawsuit, Mr. Velmano.
02:04:06 You know it.
02:04:07 You son of a bitch!
02:04:12 Mr. Coal?
02:04:14 Have you read the Pelican Brief?
02:04:17 We're running a story which verifies
02:04:22 We've confirmed Mattiece
02:04:25 ...to the president's last campaign.
02:04:28 4,200,000, all through legal channels.
02:04:30 That's right.
02:04:31 We believe the White House tried
02:04:36 ...and we wonder
02:04:39 The White House denies
02:04:42 ...in this investigation.
02:04:45 You've received some bad information.
02:04:56 Mr. Voyles, it's Grantham.
02:04:59 We're running a story
02:05:02 ...in the murders of
02:05:05 We're naming Mattiece, an oil
02:05:09 We believe the FBI knew about Mattiece,
02:05:13 ...at the urging of the White House.
02:06:29 I think we'll have great
02:06:32 They were really very pleased...
02:06:35 ...and genuinely cooperative.
02:06:38 What's up?
02:07:24 You know Gray Grantham.
02:07:27 And this is Darby Shaw.
02:07:37 So you're the little lady
02:07:42 I think you have me confused
02:07:46 I have some comments,
02:07:59 First, we got the Pelican Brief
02:08:02 ...and submitted it to the White House
02:08:05 It was not considered high priority in
02:08:10 ...Special Counsel to the Director,
02:08:13 Did the White House interfere
02:08:18 I'll discuss it...
02:08:20 ...off the record.
02:08:29 Last Wednesday the president asked me
02:08:34 In his words...
02:08:36 ...he asked me to "back off. "
02:08:39 I have a tape...
02:08:41 ...which I will allow no one to hear...
02:08:44 ...unless the president
02:08:48 So what do you do now?
02:08:50 There'll be a grand jury by
02:08:56 And we'll find Mattiece.
02:09:00 I'd like a few minutes alone
02:09:04 If she doesn't mind.
02:09:06 I'd like Mr. Grantham to stay.
02:09:29 What's next for you?
02:09:31 Who killed the man disguised as Verheek?
02:09:34 Oh, you mean the assassin, Khamel.
02:09:38 Off the record, Khamel was killed
02:09:41 ...hired independently by the CIA.
02:09:44 Rupert?
02:09:45 He probably has 20 names.
02:09:47 Why was he following her?
02:09:50 I think the brief initially
02:09:54 And he probably...
02:09:56 ...sent Rupert...
02:09:57 ...to trail Darby...
02:09:59 ...in part to watch,
02:10:05 We can help.
02:10:11 To leave the country, alone.
02:10:16 All right.
02:10:18 We'll get you out of here,
02:10:21 We'll fly you anywhere you want
02:10:24 But you must allow me to contact you...
02:10:27 ...through Mr. Grantham...
02:10:29 ...if, and only if,
02:10:34 That's fine.
02:10:38 I want no one on the plane but me,
02:10:43 After takeoff, I'll tell the pilot
02:10:46 He has to file a flight plan
02:10:50 You're the director of the FBI.
02:10:54 Set it up.
02:14:51 Our guest today is Gray Grantham...
02:14:53 ...who has, as just about everyone
02:14:57 ...revealed the plot behind the
02:15:02 The ripple effects of this story
02:15:06 As of this broadcast, Victor Mattiece,
02:15:10 ...has been indicted, along with
02:15:14 Fletcher Coal, the president's Chief
02:15:18 And we're getting strong indications
02:15:22 ...will not run again.
02:15:24 That's what we know.
02:15:28 We know the Pelican Brief was written
02:15:33 ...but we don't know who that is.
02:15:35 Who is Darby Shaw?
02:15:40 That's a question for Darby Shaw.
02:15:43 Next question.
02:15:48 ...who are in a feeding frenzy to
02:15:51 ...where is Darby Shaw?
02:15:53 That's also a question for Darby Shaw.
02:15:57 ...to answer questions
02:16:01 Does that mean
02:16:05 I didn't say that.
02:16:06 Then you do know.
02:16:12 I take it this cryptic smile means...
02:16:14 ...you're not answering.
02:16:18 In view of all this, you know that...
02:16:22 ...there's speculation...
02:16:24 ...that this woman is a figment
02:16:28 That you created her
02:16:33 Just as there are people who believe
02:16:36 ...there are those who believe
02:16:40 In other words,
02:16:44 She almost is.
