ll be the main building.
Fifteen stories high.
That's the laboratory.
World's finest equipment.
What are you trying to do?
I've taken the job.
Why?
My reasons are my own.
- Why are you building the hospital?
- To do good for the people.
And get votes.
- There's lots of ways to get votes.
- I know.
I won't stand for any interference.
I won't interfere.
I may fire you,
but I won't interfere.
You're wasting your time with threats.
You know what I think of you.
Yes, I know.
I'll tell you what.
We'll each stay
on our own side of the fence.
Is that a deal?
Now he had us all. 
Me, Anne and Adam. 
Now we all worked for him. 
So the eyes of the entire nation
are now focused upon Governor Stark... 
... an amazing phenomenon
on the political scene. 
A whole state is filled
with his accomplishments. 
Each one of them
bearing his personal signature... 
... to make sure
no one will ever forget him. 
This is the way
the roads used to be. 
But some claim
that they were adequate... 
... that you don't need a 4-lane
highway for a horse and buggy. 
When Stark boasts of his great
school system, his critics say: 
"You can't go to school
and work fields at the same time."
They question the benefit
of these projects... 
... charging that need and poverty
is as great as before. 
Willie Stark has never forgotten
the source of his power: 
The people who supported him. 
He still keeps his touch
with these people of the backwoods... 
... making periodic trips
to such places as Kanoma City... 
... now famous as his birthplace. 
For those who say Stark
is a man of destiny... 
... there are others who claim
that he is evil. 
A man who cares neither
for the people or the state... 
... but only for his own
personal power and ambition. 
Obviously, these ambitions go
far beyond the state's boundaries. 
Just how far, 
only time will tell. 
Meanwhile, he is here. 
From the looks of things, 
he is here to stay. 
Willie Stark. 
No good.
No good.
Mr. Speaker!
I offer a house resolution: 
Whereas Willie Stark...
...governor of the state...
...has been guilty of incompetence...
...corruption
and favoritism in office...
...and other high crimes.
And he is hereby impeached...
...and ordered to be tried.
- What's the score?
- They're lined up against you solid.
Were you there?
- What would I be doing there?
- Selling me out.
- How many votes have we got?
- Eleven.
- We need 20.
- We might dig up a few more.
- Do you know how?
- No, do you?
Jack, come here.
What do you got on your friend?
- Who do you mean?
- Your friend, the judge.
- Lf you need it...
- I need it.
He's got four senators in his pocket.
What do you got?
If he can prove it isn't true,
I won't spill it.
I ought to bust you.
- I promised two people I'd do this.
- Who are they?
Myself and someone else.
It doesn't matter who.
- I'll give him a break.
- But if you got facts, you got them.
- The truth is sufficient.
- That's the way it's going to be.
All right, boy.
I trust you.
Where you going?
I'll be around.
Who else do you think he promised?
He's smart.
Play square with him.
You're going to need people
like us around.
Are you sure?
The chips were down
and Willie knew it. 
He was fighting for his life. 
He roared across the state
making speeches. 
All of them adding up
to the same thing: 
"It's not me they're after. 
It's you!"
Willie hollered "foul."
He knew if you hollered
hard and loud enough... 
... people begin to believe.
