Asshole! Bradlee's just sticking up
for the Kennedys!
-We didn't have it, that's all.
-We had it.
-No, we didn't.
-Why didn't you say something?
Do you think bitching about it will get
the story where we want it?
-Yes?
-This is Woodward.
l want to talk about Watergate.
We're not going to talk about that subject.
We talked about Wallace.
But this is different.
That was about the shooting
of a man running for President!
-This is different.
-How?
Not about this story. Don't call me again.
Where are you?
Stuck.
The story's stalled on us.
And you thought l'd help?
l'll never quote you.
l wouldn't quote you even
as an anonymous source.
You'd be on deep background.
You can trust me. You know that.
Go on.
Can you tell me what you know?
You tell me what you know.
Hunt worked for Colson
at the White House.
Hunt was investigating Kennedy
at Chappaquiddick.
That should tell you a lot.
What else?
We're beginning to hear a lot about
a lawyer at CREEP named Gordon Liddy.
Gordon Liddy...
...was fired by Mitchell
because he wouldn't talk to the FBl.
You'll hear more.
Will he talk?
l was at a party once, and...
...Liddy put his hand over a candle,
and he kept it there...
...he kept it right in the flame
until his flesh was burned.
Somebody said, ''What's the trick?''
Liddy said, ''The trick is not minding.''
The story is dry.
All we've got are...pieces.
We can't seem to figure out what
the puzzle is supposed to look like.
John Mitchell resigns
as the head of CREEP...
...says he wants to spend
more time with his family.
Sounds like bullshit.
We don't exactly believe that.
No, but it's touching.
Forget the myths the media's created
about the White House.
The truth is,
these are not very bright guys...
...and things got out of hand.
Hunt's come in from the cold.
Supposedly, he's got a lawyer
with $25,000 in a brown paper bag.
Follow the money.
What do you mean?
Where?
l can't tell you that.
But you could tell me that.
No, l have to do this my way.
You tell me what you know and l'll confirm.
l'll keep you in the right direction if l can,
but that's all.
Just...follow the money.
Goddamn New York Times!
Phone calls from the burglars in Miami
to the Committee to Re-Elect!
Fifteen phone calls!
At least fifteen phone calls made
as early as March 15th, which is...
...three months before the break-in!
''$89,000 issued in the name
of a prominent Mexican lawyer.''
$89,000 in Mexican checks?
Why didn't we get this?
Who are their sources?
l even know someone
who works at the phone company.
Carl, if John Mitchell
wanted your phone records...
...you'd be running around
yelling invasion of privacy.
Was the New York Times article accurate?
-Yeah, but l can't get you a fuller listing.
-Why?
They've subpoenaed all
of Barker's phone records.
l think they're trying to find out if the
Watergate burglars broke any Florida law.
-Who subpoenaed them?
-Miami DA.
-What's his name?
-l don't know.
But, the guy who's heading
the investigation is named Dardis.
Dardis. What's his first name?
l don't know his first name.
l guess you'll have to find that out.
Hi. l have a 9:15 appointment
with Mr. Dardis.
l'm afraid that Mr. Dardis
won't be able to see you this morning.
His calendar is really quite full.
There must be a mistake.
l made it with him personally.
-l called from Washington.
-lt should've been made through me.
l'll see if l can squeeze you in later.
Oh, thanks very much.
l guess it's difficult when
he makes his own appointments.
Yes, well, we try to handle it.
lt's 4:00, we'll be back in fifteen minutes.
Want anything?
Coffee, black.
l'm still here.
l'm so glad.
lf you could get me in for five minutes,
l'd appreciate it.
-Yes, Mr. Bernstein.
-l have to get back.
We're going to try.
Oh, hi. He's expecting you.
l have a few things to do. l'll be at
the Sheraton if you want to reach me.
lf he has any space tomorrow,
l'd appreciate it.
