Segretti, we know that...
...and we know Haldeman hired Chapin.
Haldeman has to be the fifth name
to control the fund.
Sloan knows.
We've only got four out of the five
who controlled the fund.
lt has to be Haldeman.
l don't think we've got it.
We know the fifth
is a top White House official.
No one has said it.
No one has named Haldeman.
No one's denied it.
That still doesn't prove it was Haldeman.
lf you go to bed at night
and there's no snow...
...and when you wake up there's snow...
...you can say it snowed,
although you didn't see it snowing.
lf we can't prove the fifth man is
Haldeman, we're wiped out.
Everything in that campaign
is done with his approval.
We know that everybody
who works under Haldeman...
...does so with his knowledge.
And everybody is under Haldeman,
except the President.
Common sense says it's Haldeman.
lf we go and see Sloan...
...and tell him we know he named
Haldeman to the Grand Jury....
Then all we would need to do
is have him confirm it.
Want to do it that way?
Yes.
Let's go back and see Sloan.
We can't go now. He's not home yet.
He might not be answering,
but he might be there.
Please....
We've already written the story.
We just need you to define--
Debbie's in the hospital.
My in-laws are coming over....
-Two questions?
-We understand.
The cash that financed
the Watergate break-in.
Five men had control of the fund.
Mitchell, Stans, Magruder, Kalmbach.
We have confirmations on those four.
-We found out Haldeman's the fifth.
-l'm not your source on that.
We're not asking you to be our source.
We ask you to confirm it.
l'm not your source on Haldeman!
When you were questioned
by the Grand Jury....
You had to name names.
Of course, if they asked, yes.
Say we wrote a story that said Haldeman
was the fifth name to control the fund.
Would we be in any trouble?
Would we be wrong?
Let me put it this way.
l would have no problems
if you wrote a story like that.
-You wouldn't?
-No.
That's okay.
-Oh, you had a baby!
-My wife did.
-Little boy or girl?
-lt's a girl.
Congratulations.
We're sorry to bother you.
-Will you give our best to her?
-l will.
Woodward and l are curious of the fact...
...that the FBl, in its entire inquiry,
never talked to the...
...or did any inquiries into the second-
most-powerful man to the President.
You don't seem to understand. You get
nothing about Haldeman out of me.
But we don't need to know anything.
Tomorrow we're going
with a story on the FBl.
And we're going to establish in that story...
...that you guys blew
the whole investigation.
No, we didn't miss so much!
You didn't know Haldeman
had control of the slush fund.
We did. It's all in our files!
-Not about him.
-Yeah, Haldeman. John Haldeman!
Now, look, I'm very busy.
I've got to go put the kids to bed.
That's the confirmation right there!
Wait a minute. Did he say John?
-He said Haldeman.
-He said John Haldeman!
What difference does it make
if he said lsaiah or David?
There's only one Haldeman.
Well, lsaiah or David aren't
assistants to the President.
l don't know, it still feels thin.
l wish we knew if we could print this!
We didn't make them do these things,
but once they did, they're fair game!
Let's go over your sources again.
l want to hear it.
Sloan told the Grand Jury.
He answered everything they asked him.
That means there's
got to be a record somewhere.
He told the Grand Jury, the FBl confirms.
What more do you need?
l happen to love this country.
We're not a bunch of zanies
out to bring it down!
Weren't you arguing the opposite way?
No, no!
Hold it!
We're about to accuse Haldeman...
...who happens to be the second-
most-important man in this country...
...of conducting a criminal conspiracy
from inside the White House.
lt would be nice if we were right.
Have you double-checked your sources?
Bernstein, are you sure on this story?
Absolutely!
-Woodward?
-l'm sure.
l'm not. lt
