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. |
