Mitchell? The Attorney General?
He was carrying a raincoat over his head.
l thought he was going to go
''woo-who, woo-who''....
Did he supervise the shredding?
Can l not answer anymore questions?
l'd just as soon not....
Okay? Maybe l could call you?
Are you being told not to talk?
Will you call us?
l don't know.
l'll try.
What about the shredding that
took place after the break-in?
We need to know more about the papers
that were in the shredding.
l think you have some idea
what's in the papers...
...when the former Attorney General
comes in the office...
...when it's taking place
at the Committee to Re-Elect.
He's got a raincoat over his head.
Why is he wearing a raincoat?
lt could be raining
is what could have happened.
Let me go through the story again.
You got a woman who's frightened
at the door. She works for CREEP.
She said there's shredding taking place.
We don't know what's in the papers.
We know the former Attorney General
comes in with an overcoat over his head.
lt could be raining.
There's a lawyer present.
We don't know what he asked them.
She wouldn't talk about that.
Now, will you please tell me
where there's a story?
There's a story in the fact...
...that the interview did not
take place in her home...
...but took place in the office
of the Committee to Re-Elect.
How is there a story in that?
lt's not enough!
There's a story in that because
there's a lawyer in the office.
-You're more resistant than she is!
-That's right.
-Why?
-Because there's not enough fact.
Let's just turn around and go back
and question her again.
-This won't take long at all.
-Please go away, okay?
Please, leave before they see you.
-Who did you mean by...?
-What do you mean by ''they''?
Could you give us their names?
We haven't revealed the sources
of the people that have talked to us.
You know,
l really can't talk about this because....
Would ''they'' be members
of the Committee?
Someone got to that woman!
It's the key to the whole cover-up!
How can you write that there's a cover-up?
We don't know that there's a cover-up!
Then, I don't know what the hell you need!
So, you tell me what you need.
l need more fact for a story...
...and l think you should
need the same thing.
Okay, if you get in the car...
...and there's music playing
in the car, hypothetically....
There's music playing in the car
for ten minutes...
...and there's no commercial.
What can you deduce from that?
-ls it AM or FM?
-Come on, Bernstein!
ls it AM or FM?
A guy can come up to me on the street...
...and he can ask me an address.
Now, is the man interrogating me,
or is he lost?
What kind of a story do l write?
What kind of a deduction
do l make from that?
Because you don't have a gut feeling
that the woman is trying to help us?
No, l don't have enough gut feeling
and l wish l did.
We're from the Washington Post....
Abbott, Addison, Augusto....
Is there something that
strikes you as odd about this?
It's like there's a pattern
to the way they're not talking...
...the way they say ''no'' all the time.
I think it's odd.
-Mrs. Hambling?
-Yes!
We're from the Washington Post.
l'm Carl Bernstein, this is Bob Woodward.
A friend of the Committee said
that we could contact you.
Who was it?
We can't reveal that.
You can talk to us.
We don't reveal our sources.
You people....
You think you can come into my home,
ask a few questions...
...have me destroy the reputations
of men that l work for and respect?
Do you understand loyalty?
Have you ever heard of loyalty?
-Hi.
-Yes?
l'm Bob Woodward.
Carl Bernstein.
We're from the Washington Post.
Yes!
l've read what you've written.
l want to thank you.
l've been a Republican all my life,
but this goes beyond party politics.
Would you mind if we
asked you a few questions?
No, no. Come in. Would you like coffee?
Sure.
What they've done
is a threat to the Constitution.
lt goes against everything we stand for.
