<i>...public enemy number one

3

<i>In order to fight and defeat this enemy...</i>

4
00:00:25,265 --> 00:00:30,151
<i>it is necessary to wage a new,
all-out offensive.</i>

5
00:00:31,391 --> 00:00:34,558
<i>For nearly a year,
I have been devoting increasing attention...</i>

6
00:00:34,635 --> 00:00:38,530
<i>to a problem which strikes at the
very heart of our national well-being:</i>

7
00:00:38,599 --> 00:00:39,761
<i>Drug abuse.</i>

8
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,815
<i>I did not condone any drug abuse,
and we'll do everything possible to reduce...</i>

9
00:00:43,924 --> 00:00:45,894
<i>this serious threat to our society.</i>

10
00:00:45,966 --> 00:00:48,255
<i>Drugs are menacing our society.</i>

11
00:00:48,328 --> 00:00:51,814
<i>They're threatening our values and
undercutting our institutions.</i>

12
00:00:52,092 --> 00:00:54,222
<i>They're killing our children.</i>

13
00:00:57,457 --> 00:00:58,984
Thank you very much.

14
00:01:00,180 --> 00:01:04,109
<i>...and when it comes to
drugs and alcohol, just say“no.”</i>

15

<i>Reagan says he will make it
a priority of his presidency...</i>

16
00:01:07,067 --> 00:01:09,436
<i>...to stop drug abuse in the United States.</i>

17
00:01:09,790 --> 00:01:11,395
<i>This is your brain on drugs.</i>

18
00:01:11,472 --> 00:01:15,845
<i>Those who smuggle and sell drugs are
as dangerous to our national security...</i>

19
00:01:15,916 --> 00:01:18,650
<i>...as any terrorist or foreign dictatorship.</i>

20
00:01:18,759 --> 00:01:22,484
<i>The Reagan administration

21
00:01:22,563 --> 00:01:24,613
<i>...the war on drugs at home

<i>If we do not act decisively

24
00:01:30,010 --> 00:01:33,780
<i>...new Cubas will arise from
the ruins of today's conflicts.</i>

25
00:01:33,854 --> 00:01:35,984
<i>We will consult closely
with the Freedom Fighters.</i>

26

<i>The anti-communist
rebels known as the “contras”...</i>

<i>By nineteen eighty-four,</i>

43
00:02:27,668 --> 00:02:31,643
There must be no Soviet beachhead

44
00:02:49,650 --> 00:02:50,732
Good morning.

45
00:02:52,212 --> 00:02:53,453
Who the fuck are you?

46
00:02:53,574 --> 00:02:56,056
Gary Webb. San Jose Mercury-News.

47
00:02:57,417 --> 00:02:58,580
What do you want?

48
00:02:58,659 --> 00:03:02,428
I called you about the government seizure of
property of accused narcotics dealers?

49
00:03:02,543 --> 00:03:06,187
Yeah. The accused. Yeah, that's me.
Come on in.

50
00:03:06,266 --> 00:03:08,270
Okay, great. Thanks.

51
00:03:10,751 --> 00:03:13,438
- My last house, this sweet pad in Laguna -
- Yeah?

52
00:03:13,554 --> 00:03:16,400
Charges didn't stick and
the feds still didn't give it back.

53
00:03:16,757 --> 00:03:19,000
- But you did it?
- Did what?

54
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,412
Well, off the record,
I mean, you sold the dope.

55
00:03:22,583 --> 00:03:25,826
Yeah, but you're missing the point.
They took the freaking roof over my head.

56
00:03:26,967 --> 00:03:28,129
Look, wait a sec...

57
00:03:28,248 --> 00:03:31,016
All this stuff that you bought
with the drug money - the houses,

58
00:03:31,131 --> 00:03:32,783
the cars, what have you -

59
00:03:33,494 --> 00:03:36,067
...you lose it because it's
the crime that paid for it, right?

60
00:03:36,136 --> 00:03:38,140
Did it, didn't do it... Who gives a shit?

61
00:03:38,499 --> 00:03:41,904
Can't take a man's shelter.
Anyway, they didn't prove it, did they?

62
00:03:41,982 --> 00:03:43,428
LA Sheriff's Department
- nobody move!

63
00:03:43,504 --> 00:03:44,995
- Let me see your hands!

64
00:03:45,065 --> 00:03:47,195
Christ. Here we go again.

65
00:03:47,307 --> 00:03:49,311
- Down, motherfucker down!
- Get the girl!

66
00:03:49,429 --> 00:03:50,478
Secure the girl!

67
00:03:50,551 --> 00:03:51,313
Look, I'm a reporter.

68
00:03:51,391 --> 00:03:52,474
Shut the fuck up!

69
00:03:52,553 --> 00:03:53,621
Better get that story out there.

70
00:03:53,634 --> 00:03:55,957
- San Jose Mercury News -
- Hey!

71
00:03:58,438 --> 00:04:00,010
I'm a reporter!

72
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,971
Quite a ruckus over there, huh?

73
00:04:02,042 --> 00:04:04,810
<i>Yeah, this guy almost broke my fucking arm,
the prick.</i>

74
00:04:07,327 --> 00:04:08,329
All right.

75
00:04:09,970 --> 00:04:11,336
Hey, wait a minute.

76
00:04:13,133 --> 00:04:16,858
Where...

77
00:04:17,337 --> 00:04:19,820
Yeah, I'm sorry. We ran outta inches.

78
00:04:19,980 --> 00:04:23,305
Look, you cut the kicker and you're gonna
blow the whole point to this thing.

79
00:04:23,383 --> 00:04:26,071
The government takes
these people's shit, all right?

80
00:04:26,186 --> 00:04:28,635
Their cars, their houses,
they take everything forever.

81
00:04:28,709 --> 00:04:30,600
This is before they're convicted.

82
00:04:30,671 --> 00:04:33,199
<i>Even if they're acquitted,
they don't get it back.</i>

83
00:04:33,514 --> 00:04:35,040
They're drug dealers.

84
00:04:35,155 --> 00:04:38,845
Alleged drug dealers, with rights.
Because this is America.

85
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,086
Four minutes until deadline.

86
00:04:41,201 --> 00:04:43,365
Well, take my name off the story.

87
00:04:43,484 --> 00:04:45,693
<i>God, you can be such an asshole.</i>

88
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:49,020
I'm an asshole because
I believe in due process?

89
00:04:49,650 --> 00:04:51,700
<i>Come on. This is our job.</i>

90
00:04:52,452 --> 00:04:53,785
<i>Clock's ticking.</i>

91
00:04:54,895 --> 00:04:58,266
It's ticking.

92
00:04:58,859 --> 00:05:00,545
<i>It's still ticking.</i>

93
00:05:01,061 --> 00:05:02,872
And...

94
00:05:04,064 --> 00:05:05,636
...don't call back.

95
00:05:10,871 --> 00:05:13,274
This guy just had a shotgun in his ear.
Give him a break.

96
00:05:13,794 --> 00:05:15,764
No, there was no shotgun. All right, look,

97
00:05:15,876 --> 00:05:17,878
you're gonna have
to wait to read the article.

98
00:05:19,079 --> 00:05:21,083
Your son is sixteen. Just FYI.

99
00:05:21,201 --> 00:05:22,773
- I see you! Get rid of it. Honey?

100
00:05:22,883 --> 00:05:24,694
Come on, don't do that.

101
00:05:24,825 --> 00:05:26,527
- That's bad.
- That's amazing parenting.

102
00:05:26,567 --> 00:05:28,252
- "Don't do that."
- Don't do that.

103
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:30,094
It's really not a big deal.

104
00:05:31,572 --> 00:05:32,734
Would somebody watch this?

105
00:05:33,293 --> 00:05:34,899
I gotta show you guys something.

106
00:05:40,821 --> 00:05:42,632
New addition to the family...

107
00:05:44,344 --> 00:05:45,187
Oh my god!

108
00:05:45,265 --> 00:05:46,553
Dad!

109
00:05:47,207 --> 00:05:49,952
Holy...
This is a '71 Tiger Sports Triumph.

110
00:05:50,110 --> 00:05:51,735
It's a beautiful bike or
it was a beautiful bike

111
00:05:51,761 --> 00:05:53,220
and we're going to make
it beautiful again.

112
00:05:53,273 --> 00:05:54,321
This is the only deal.

113
00:05:54,434 --> 00:05:56,883
- You and I have to rebuild it together, okay?
- Hey, hotshot.

114
00:05:56,957 --> 00:05:58,423
- Okay. I love you, Dad.
- All right. I love you.

115
00:05:58,438 --> 00:06:00,762
- We're happy.
- Goddammit.

116
00:06:00,881 --> 00:06:02,567
Yes?

117
00:06:02,883 --> 00:06:04,614
- We talked about this.
- Come on...

118
00:06:04,725 --> 00:06:05,887
- No, "come on." No.
- Look at him.

119
00:06:05,966 --> 00:06:07,652
- Look at this. Look at the bike...
- I see it.

120
00:06:07,768 --> 00:06:10,091
Look at this face.

121
00:06:10,170 --> 00:06:11,776
Inside my head.

122
00:06:11,892 --> 00:06:15,787
Me and my boy riding side by side,
to the mountaintops...

123
00:06:15,856 --> 00:06:17,188
- Touching the sky.
- Isn't that right?

124
00:06:17,297 --> 00:06:18,549
Anything happens to him
while he's on that bike

125
00:06:18,575 --> 00:06:19,566
Nothing's going
to happen to him.

126
00:06:19,620 --> 00:06:22,706
...I will cut these off
while you are sleeping.

127
00:06:22,783 --> 00:06:26,108
- Wow.
- I thought you already cut those off.

128
00:06:26,186 --> 00:06:28,715
While I'm sleeping!

129
00:06:38,238 --> 00:06:40,447
Dad, you hang out with
some insanely bad people.

130
00:06:40,521 --> 00:06:42,012
Don't eat your hair.

131
00:06:42,162 --> 00:06:42,962
Well...

132
00:06:43,003 --> 00:06:45,167
bad guys are usually more
honest than good guys.

133
00:06:45,285 --> 00:06:46,891
And more fun.

134
00:06:47,167 --> 00:06:49,741
- Life lessons by Gary Webb.
- No, Mom. You actually have to read this.

135
00:06:49,810 --> 00:06:51,655
I did already. It's great.

136
00:06:53,774 --> 00:06:54,899
You guys gotta go, come on.

137
00:06:54,935 --> 00:06:55,744
You heard the lady!

138
00:06:55,816 --> 00:06:58,709
Come on! Who wants to ride
in the green machine?

139
00:06:58,819 --> 00:07:00,823
- Dad's taking us?
- I'm taking you.

140
00:07:00,941 --> 00:07:02,832
You're not going in your PJ's, are you?

141
00:07:03,824 --> 00:07:05,156
Come on, guys!

142
00:07:05,225 --> 00:07:06,672
- Let's get smushed.
- That's where I sit.

143
00:07:06,787 --> 00:07:09,235
Got it? Step in like sardines.

144
00:07:09,349 --> 00:07:10,716
Bye, Momma!

145
00:07:10,791 --> 00:07:12,123
Bye Momma!

146
00:07:12,312 --> 00:07:13,884
- Bye, Momma!
- Bye.

147
00:07:14,194 --> 00:07:15,686
Bye Momma!

148
00:07:16,997 --> 00:07:20,288
- One, two, three...
- Bye, Mom!

149
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:41,301
Here you go.

150
00:07:41,702 --> 00:07:43,627
- It's probably cold.
- Thank you.

151
00:07:44,024 --> 00:07:46,028
Hey, I know how bad you want
to do the Guv today.

152
00:07:46,346 --> 00:07:47,873
Some real reporter work.

153
00:07:47,988 --> 00:07:50,231
Yeah. How that shit gives you satisfaction,
I'll never know.

154
00:07:50,350 --> 00:07:51,763
Hey, that story this morning?

155
00:07:51,872 --> 00:07:53,034
That was a big one.

156
00:07:53,193 --> 00:07:55,563
- But not “the" big one.
- Yeah, what would that be?

157
00:07:55,676 --> 00:07:57,840
Catching Clinton breaking into Watergate?

158
00:07:58,078 --> 00:07:59,240
Hey.

159
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,485
Rich Kline, LA Times. How you doing?

160
00:08:01,762 --> 00:08:04,449
My editors are pissed that
we missed the drug forfeiture story.

161
00:08:04,565 --> 00:08:06,056
I'm sure they are.

162
00:08:07,047 --> 00:08:09,974
It's an amazing job, by the way.
You got any advice for me, or...?

163
00:08:10,330 --> 00:08:13,577
Ah, yeah. Don't let the assholes win?
I don't know.

164
00:08:13,654 --> 00:08:16,341
Hey, who's Coral Baca and
why does she keep calling me?

165
00:08:16,416 --> 00:08:17,988
Nobody?

166
00:08:21,622 --> 00:08:23,352
She called five times...?

167
00:08:26,426 --> 00:08:29,035
- <i>Hola?</i>
- Hi, this is Gary Webb.

168
00:08:29,109 --> 00:08:33,118
<i>He finally calls. I like your work.</i>

169
00:08:33,474 --> 00:08:35,079
You follow my work?

170
00:08:35,435 --> 00:08:37,087
<i>I do now.</i>

171
00:08:37,838 --> 00:08:39,443
Okay, what can I do for you?

172
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,329
<i>It's what I can do for you.</i>

173
00:08:42,563 --> 00:08:44,089
Okay, what can you do for me?

174
00:08:44,204 --> 00:08:48,133
<i>My boyfriend Raffie's in prison,
for cocaine trafficking.</i>

175
00:08:48,288 --> 00:08:50,897
<i>That's Rafael Cornejo.</i>

176
00:08:51,612 --> 00:08:53,024
Was that Columbian?

177
00:08:53,093 --> 00:08:53,981
- <i>Nicaraguan.</i>

178
00:08:54,094 --> 00:08:55,095
- Nicaraguan.

179
00:08:55,135 --> 00:08:58,939
<i>He has this gorgeous house
the government just took.</i>

180
00:08:59,259 --> 00:09:00,786
<i>Good story, no?</i>

181
00:09:00,901 --> 00:09:02,392
Yes, it is. I just wrote it.

182
00:09:02,463 --> 00:09:07,599
<i>But Raffie's story is different.
He sold drugs for the government.</i>

183
00:09:10,671 --> 00:09:12,117
You want to say that again?

184
00:09:12,232 --> 00:09:16,127
<i>He brought four tons
of cocaine into the country...</i>

185
00:09:16,236 --> 00:09:18,810
<i>...for the U.S. government.</i>

186
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,569
Look, you have a very lovely voice.

187
00:09:23,644 --> 00:09:26,856
- Thank you-
- <i>I've copied every piece of paper.</i>

188
00:09:27,047 --> 00:09:29,496
<i>Selling drugs for the government.</i>

189
00:09:29,610 --> 00:09:33,778
<i>Have you written that story?</i>

190
00:09:50,471 --> 00:09:52,395
This is the thing you need to see.

191
00:09:57,077 --> 00:09:58,364
Wait a minute.

192
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,772
You gotta be kidding me.

193
00:10:02,322 --> 00:10:03,849
Grand Jury transcript?

194
00:10:05,445 --> 00:10:06,733
How'd you get ahold of it?

195
00:10:06,847 --> 00:10:09,535
The government turned it over
on discovery by mistake.

196
00:10:09,610 --> 00:10:11,101
Yeah, some mistake.

197
00:10:12,172 --> 00:10:14,063
It was Russell Dodson.

198
00:10:14,374 --> 00:10:16,140
Federal prosecutor Russell Dodson?

199
00:10:16,216 --> 00:10:19,348
The little bitch.
I called the cops on him once.

200
00:10:19,940 --> 00:10:21,386
Called the cops on the feds?

201
00:10:21,502 --> 00:10:24,348
His goons were sneaking around my house.

202
00:10:24,705 --> 00:10:26,390
Could have been rapists.

203
00:10:29,990 --> 00:10:31,721
I think I'm gonna like you.

204
00:10:33,073 --> 00:10:35,043
So who's this Danilo Blandon?

205
00:10:35,115 --> 00:10:36,642
Wait.

206
00:10:36,717 --> 00:10:39,564
Ok. Let's see.

207
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,927
That's who sold drugs for the government.

208
00:10:43,403 --> 00:10:44,770
He was a friend.

209
00:10:44,885 --> 00:10:46,935
He played with my kid.

210
00:10:47,047 --> 00:10:48,379
Then he rats.

211
00:10:48,448 --> 00:10:51,182
He's probably the biggest trafficker
in the whole country.

212
00:10:51,251 --> 00:10:53,415
Way bigger than Raffie.

213
00:10:53,534 --> 00:10:57,223
Why use whale to catch catfish?

214
00:10:59,419 --> 00:11:03,827
- That make sense to you Gary Webb?
- Not very much sense. No it doesn't.

215
00:11:06,066 --> 00:11:07,752
You have more documents?

216
00:11:07,948 --> 00:11:09,918
Everything is at my house.

217
00:11:10,270 --> 00:11:11,922
You want to come over?

218
00:11:17,678 --> 00:11:21,402
Why don't you just send the documents
to my office? How's that?

219
00:11:22,763 --> 00:11:26,088
First things first, Gary Webb.

220
00:11:28,769 --> 00:11:30,819
Raffie's got court tomorrow.

221
00:11:32,773 --> 00:11:34,378
- Yeah?
- Be there.

222
00:12:29,109 --> 00:12:30,157
Am I late?

223
00:12:30,350 --> 00:12:32,354
The judge called an early recess.

224
00:12:33,754 --> 00:12:35,724
It could be fifteen minutes or so.

225
00:12:35,836 --> 00:12:38,922
- Right. Yeah. So we've got time.
- There's my boyfriend, Raffie...

226
00:12:40,681 --> 00:12:42,526
He looks friendly.

227
00:12:42,603 --> 00:12:44,926
He doesn't like seeing me with other men.

228
00:12:46,006 --> 00:12:48,375
And there is the little bitch.

229
00:12:48,689 --> 00:12:50,454
Russell Dodson.

230
00:12:52,332 --> 00:12:53,859
Be right back.

231
00:13:08,188 --> 00:13:12,163
So, Dodson. Gary Webb,
San Jose Mercury News.

232
00:13:13,714 --> 00:13:17,882
- You always follow people into bathrooms?
- No. Not really.

233
00:13:18,879 --> 00:13:21,692
So why is the local news
interested in this case?

234
00:13:22,082 --> 00:13:23,848
I'm not.

235
00:13:24,364 --> 00:13:27,177
But I am interested in Danilo Blandon.

236
00:13:30,491 --> 00:13:32,301
Never heard of him.

237
00:13:35,335 --> 00:13:37,385
Then why is he on your witness list?

238
00:13:39,780 --> 00:13:42,753
You had this guy cold on major
narcotics trafficking

239
00:13:42,823 --> 00:13:44,349
and you let him walk.

240
00:13:44,424 --> 00:13:45,712
Why?

241
00:13:48,428 --> 00:13:50,593
I have his grand jury transcript.

242
00:13:51,752 --> 00:13:51,957
I know.

243
00:13:52,072 --> 00:13:56,161
I've seen some screw ups outta
you guys but boy is that a big one.

244
00:14:30,991 --> 00:14:34,316
So what's the story? Feds use
a bad guy to catch other bad guy?

245
00:14:34,434 --> 00:14:37,247
- Do you even know what you have there?
- Yes, I know what this is.

246
00:14:37,317 --> 00:14:39,561
Well, it's unheard of. It's a gift.

247
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,006
And I asked around about Danilo Blandon.

248
00:14:41,121 --> 00:14:43,285
- No one has seemed-...
- We're talking here.

249
00:14:44,925 --> 00:14:45,734
I'm telling you...

250
00:14:45,806 --> 00:14:49,291
whatever I got near,
it made him very nervous.

251
00:14:50,210 --> 00:14:51,417
I know what I saw.

252
00:14:51,492 --> 00:14:53,656
- And I've been doing this a long time,
- okay? So -

253
00:14:53,734 --> 00:14:56,137
Don't do old and wise. I hate that.

254
00:14:56,256 --> 00:14:57,498
I'm not old.

255
00:14:57,558 --> 00:14:59,184
Come on. It's why you brought me in here.

256
00:14:59,199 --> 00:15:00,501
To go after stories like this.

257
00:15:00,581 --> 00:15:03,508
- But we're not the LA Times.
- We're not small-time, either.

258
00:15:03,664 --> 00:15:05,987
There's more here, I promise you.

259
00:15:13,474 --> 00:15:16,686
Get more info on Blandon
and then we'll take it to Jerry.

260
00:15:16,797 --> 00:15:18,483
I gotta get back to San Jose.

261
00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:20,290
Okay.

262
00:15:21,842 --> 00:15:23,892
Hello, hello!

263
00:15:26,487 --> 00:15:28,058
Smells good.

264
00:15:28,448 --> 00:15:29,975
Who's Coral?

265
00:15:30,531 --> 00:15:32,136
She's hot.

266
00:15:33,213 --> 00:15:34,979
She drove a Camaro.

267
00:15:35,055 --> 00:15:36,707
Of course she did.

268
00:15:36,897 --> 00:15:38,309
She left this?

269
00:15:38,859 --> 00:15:40,670
- Eat it.
- Mom, can we start?

270
00:15:40,741 --> 00:15:44,112
- Yes.
- Yes. That looks so good.

271
00:15:44,184 --> 00:15:47,556
- Yummy.
- Hello, gents.

272
00:15:48,068 --> 00:15:50,391
- Hi.
- Why does she know where you live?

273
00:15:50,511 --> 00:15:51,843
I don't know.

274
00:15:54,154 --> 00:15:57,879
- She's a source.
- Yeah? For a story about strippers?

275
00:15:57,998 --> 00:16:00,481
No. But that's a good one, though.

276
00:16:00,561 --> 00:16:01,210
Drug dealers.

277
00:16:01,281 --> 00:16:03,491
Okay. That's better.

278
00:16:06,366 --> 00:16:08,052
Is it happening again?

279
00:16:09,009 --> 00:16:11,902
- No.
- Is what happening again?

280
00:16:12,212 --> 00:16:13,214
Come on.

281
00:16:13,293 --> 00:16:14,093
Nothing.

282
00:16:14,174 --> 00:16:16,224
- What's in the box?
- Eat your food.

283
00:16:21,181 --> 00:16:22,514
- What happened with her?
- Nothing.

284
00:16:22,583 --> 00:16:24,234
What happened with her?

285
00:16:24,585 --> 00:16:26,236
Nothing.

286
00:16:26,547 --> 00:16:29,439
I mean, I'm not going to do this again.
It's why we left my family, my friends...

287
00:16:29,550 --> 00:16:32,134
- I know, I know.
- ...left Cleveland, moved out to California,

288
00:16:32,232 --> 00:16:33,075
which I hate...

289
00:16:33,193 --> 00:16:36,279
all this stupid sunshine
and shiny happy faces...

290
00:16:36,396 --> 00:16:39,084
- Sunshine is so dumb. It's terrible.
- I'm being serious.

291
00:16:39,159 --> 00:16:41,402
I know; well so am I.

292
00:16:42,122 --> 00:16:43,363
Baby...

293
00:16:44,084 --> 00:16:45,850
I'm not going to screw this up.

294
00:16:45,926 --> 00:16:47,452
Understand?

295
00:16:47,888 --> 00:16:49,574
Don't smile.

296
00:16:51,131 --> 00:16:54,183
She said there's another hearing tomorrow.
Seriously, I fucking hate you.

297
00:16:54,254 --> 00:16:56,065
I love you.

298
00:17:04,204 --> 00:17:05,737
...dismiss all charges against Mr.Cornejo.

299
00:17:05,786 --> 00:17:10,079
We are no longer proceeding
with the case, you Honor.

300
00:17:10,310 --> 00:17:11,598
Hey.

301
00:17:11,712 --> 00:17:13,124
Hi.

302
00:17:14,114 --> 00:17:15,276
So what's going on?

303
00:17:15,355 --> 00:17:17,964
I don't know. They've
been up there for a while.

304
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,449
The charges against Mr,
Cornejo are dismissed.

305
00:17:21,522 --> 00:17:23,366
You are free to go.

306
00:17:25,245 --> 00:17:26,897
What?

307
00:17:28,448 --> 00:17:31,182
Very impressive, Gary Webb.

308
00:17:31,411 --> 00:17:32,778
What just happened?

309
00:17:32,853 --> 00:17:34,983
You terrified them.

310
00:17:35,175 --> 00:17:39,070
They just stuffed
Danilo Blandon under a rug.

311
00:17:39,139 --> 00:17:43,148
He's off their witness list.
No Blandon, no case.

312
00:17:43,904 --> 00:17:45,874
Raffie walks.

313
00:17:53,674 --> 00:17:55,006
Hey, hey, hey-

314
00:17:56,316 --> 00:17:58,481
So you used me to get this
fucking case dropped?

315
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:00,609
I'm just the bimbo, remember?

316
00:18:02,483 --> 00:18:03,485
Yeah, fuck you.

317
00:18:03,564 --> 00:18:05,853
Be happy, Gary Webb.

318
00:18:06,847 --> 00:18:09,170
You thought you were
getting a piece of cheese,

319
00:18:09,249 --> 00:18:11,493
but I just gave you the mouse.

320
00:18:13,854 --> 00:18:15,380
There's your story.

321
00:18:16,857 --> 00:18:18,463
Danilo Blandon.

322
00:19:00,340 --> 00:19:01,912
West coast...

323
00:19:32,172 --> 00:19:33,585
Sorry about the air conditioning.

324
00:19:33,694 --> 00:19:35,026
Come on in.

325
00:19:37,017 --> 00:19:39,260
- How you doing?
- Pretty well.

326
00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:42,754
You represent Ricky Ross,
the crack dealer?

327
00:19:44,505 --> 00:19:46,349
Alleged crack dealer.

328
00:19:46,547 --> 00:19:50,032
"Freeway Ricky Ross.
Biggest dealer in Los Angeles...

329
00:19:50,110 --> 00:19:53,914
the epicenter of the national
crack epidemic" L.A. Times.

330
00:19:54,194 --> 00:19:55,435
Who do you write for?

331
00:19:55,516 --> 00:19:57,600
- San Jose Mercury News.
- Never heard of them.

332
00:19:57,718 --> 00:20:00,087
Russell Dodson is the
prosecutor on your case?

333
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,812
That's public record. Yes.

334
00:20:01,962 --> 00:20:03,887
What about Danilo Blandon?

335
00:20:04,725 --> 00:20:07,518
- Maybe.
- Because I think he's going to testify

336
00:20:07,628 --> 00:20:08,837
against your client tomorrow.

337
00:20:08,869 --> 00:20:11,456
No, you've got that backwards.

338
00:20:11,572 --> 00:20:14,738
Blandon and my client
are friends and associates.

339
00:20:14,815 --> 00:20:18,300
If he's going to testify,
he'll be testifying for Ricky.

340
00:20:18,659 --> 00:20:20,310
That would be awkward.

341
00:20:20,461 --> 00:20:21,987
Why's that?

342
00:20:22,182 --> 00:20:23,993
Because he's a government informant.

343
00:20:24,064 --> 00:20:25,065
That's bullshit.

344
00:20:25,105 --> 00:20:28,191
I have a Grand Jury transcript
released on discovery by mistake...

345
00:20:28,308 --> 00:20:29,800
by our Russell Dodson.

346
00:20:29,910 --> 00:20:33,555
In it is evidence of Blandon testifying
against other drug dealers.

347
00:20:42,162 --> 00:20:44,850
Goddammit!

348
00:20:45,005 --> 00:20:47,009
Jesus, does that make sense.

349
00:20:47,087 --> 00:20:50,378
You would not believe the horseshit
that Dodson puts me through...

350
00:20:50,491 --> 00:20:52,495
every time I ask him who
his secret weapon is.

351
00:20:52,513 --> 00:20:53,601
Well it's not just Ricky,

352
00:20:53,614 --> 00:20:56,587
it's probably half a dozen guys
he's going to testify against-

353
00:20:56,657 --> 00:20:58,980
Fuck me! They block me!

354
00:20:59,059 --> 00:21:00,825
Every time I ask for something.

355
00:21:00,941 --> 00:21:02,148
Claiming - get this -

356
00:21:02,222 --> 00:21:04,033
National Security.

357
00:21:04,184 --> 00:21:07,236
National security and crack
cocaine in the same sentence?

358
00:21:07,427 --> 00:21:09,238
Does that not sound strange to you?

359
00:21:16,396 --> 00:21:18,800
Ok, what exactly do you want?

360
00:21:30,611 --> 00:21:31,693
Who's this?

361
00:21:32,172 --> 00:21:33,664
He's a reporter.

362
00:21:36,336 --> 00:21:38,306
So what do you know about Danilo Blandon?

363
00:21:44,064 --> 00:21:45,909
I don't know him.

364
00:21:49,229 --> 00:21:52,441
Come on Ricky. Danilo's going
to testify against you tomorrow.

365
00:21:52,553 --> 00:21:54,796
He's the witness they've been hiding.

366
00:21:56,036 --> 00:21:57,881
Man, there ain't no way
they flipped Danilo!

367
00:21:58,038 --> 00:22:01,090
Sit down, and listen to what he has to say.

368
00:22:04,685 --> 00:22:06,336
They didn't flip anyone.

369
00:22:07,207 --> 00:22:08,859
Ricky,

370
00:22:08,929 --> 00:22:11,742
Blandon was working for
the government the entire time.

371
00:22:12,893 --> 00:22:14,863
- You for real?
- Yeah.

372
00:22:14,935 --> 00:22:16,860
He for real?

373
00:22:17,217 --> 00:22:19,381
Blandon a snitch?

374
00:22:19,660 --> 00:22:21,585
Look here, man,
he was a thousand time heavier than

375
00:22:21,662 --> 00:22:22,585
I'll ever be.

376
00:22:22,663 --> 00:22:25,396
He's LA, New York, Atlanta,
He's everywhere.

377
00:22:25,466 --> 00:22:27,709
I couldn't sell it fast enough
to keep up with supply.

378
00:22:27,788 --> 00:22:29,554
- Slow down.
- Wait. You mean demand.

379
00:22:29,630 --> 00:22:31,281
No. I mean supply.

380
00:22:31,351 --> 00:22:33,675
I was buying a hundred kilos a week.

381
00:22:33,754 --> 00:22:35,724
Selling three million dollars a day.

382
00:22:35,796 --> 00:22:37,926
And still couldn't get rid of
that inventory fast enough, man.

383
00:22:38,038 --> 00:22:39,039
It was raining coke.

384
00:22:39,079 --> 00:22:39,729
- Allegedly, Ricky.
- Allegedly.

385
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,132
Allegedly.

386
00:22:41,241 --> 00:22:46,291
Look here, man. I gave him...
six million a week. Allegedly.

387
00:22:49,129 --> 00:22:51,099
- That's impossible.
- Is it?

388
00:22:51,932 --> 00:22:54,141
- I'm exaggerating, Fenster?
- Yeah, I hope so.

389
00:22:54,214 --> 00:22:56,344
How do you sell that much
cocaine on the street?

390
00:22:56,456 --> 00:22:58,142
Look here, man, we used to cook it.

391
00:22:58,218 --> 00:22:59,459
With baking soda.

392
00:22:59,580 --> 00:23:02,792
We called it Ready Rock.
Powder was for rich folks.

393
00:23:02,903 --> 00:23:04,555
Holy shit.

394
00:23:05,225 --> 00:23:09,792
Look here, man, I was just the elf.
Blandon was Santa Claus.

395
00:23:22,122 --> 00:23:24,492
This is where Ricky ran his operation.

396
00:23:28,448 --> 00:23:30,259
No, don't get out of the car!

397
00:24:14,695 --> 00:24:16,620
Are you out of your fucking mind?

398
00:24:18,178 --> 00:24:19,180
How did this happen?

399
00:24:19,259 --> 00:24:21,708
Exactly. Which is why we're
going to get the hell out of here.

400
00:24:21,782 --> 00:24:24,390
What about this doesn't piss you off?

401
00:24:24,945 --> 00:24:26,152
It's complicated for me.

402
00:24:26,226 --> 00:24:28,550
Whatever the hell happened,
all this shit has run downhill,

403
00:24:28,629 --> 00:24:29,711
right here.

404
00:24:30,350 --> 00:24:32,161
I need to speak with Blandon.

405
00:24:32,212 --> 00:24:33,494
He's a protected witness.
How are you going to do that?

406
00:24:33,514 --> 00:24:36,600
Yes, I know. I can't.

407
00:24:37,558 --> 00:24:39,528
But you can.

408
00:24:42,362 --> 00:24:43,695
<i>Mr. Blandon.</i>

409
00:24:44,284 --> 00:24:46,574
During the years when you
were acting as a paid

410
00:24:46,687 --> 00:24:48,213
informant of the U.S. government.

411
00:24:48,288 --> 00:24:53,644
The years you say you wholesaled cocaine
to my client in Los Angeles...

412
00:24:53,654 --> 00:24:55,230
was the government aware that you were

413
00:24:55,255 --> 00:24:57,909
smuggling tons of cocaine
into the United States.

414
00:24:58,018 --> 00:25:00,991
Objection. Relevance. Inflammatory.

415
00:25:01,061 --> 00:25:03,065
The government called this witness,
your honor.

416
00:25:03,223 --> 00:25:05,752
He is a paid confidential informant.

417
00:25:05,826 --> 00:25:08,912
The jury has a right to know
the scope of his expertise.

418
00:25:09,429 --> 00:25:11,354
Overruled.

419
00:25:13,594 --> 00:25:15,758
- Approach, your honor?
- Later.

420
00:25:18,398 --> 00:25:19,845
Mr. Blandon?

421
00:25:20,921 --> 00:25:21,923
Yes.

422
00:25:22,002 --> 00:25:23,813
- Yes what?
- The government knew.

423
00:25:23,924 --> 00:25:27,136
- Knew everything?
- Objection. Speculation.

424
00:25:27,287 --> 00:25:29,257
Sustained.

425
00:25:29,449 --> 00:25:30,737
Mr. Blandon...

426
00:25:30,811 --> 00:25:34,296
how much money did you
take in from cocaine sales

427
00:25:34,374 --> 00:25:37,062
while you were working
for the U.S. government?

428
00:25:40,821 --> 00:25:44,796
One and a half billion dollars.

429
00:25:44,865 --> 00:25:46,106
That's correct.

430
00:25:46,266 --> 00:25:47,872
What did you do with that money?

431
00:25:47,948 --> 00:25:53,323
We made so much money we had to keep an
apartment just to keep the cash.

432
00:25:54,074 --> 00:25:56,683
It was floor to ceiling dollars.

433
00:25:56,957 --> 00:25:59,360
We had to rotate the money
from the top to the bottom...

434
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,492
to prevent mold from coming
on the money from the humidity.

435
00:26:04,565 --> 00:26:05,473
What the fuck does this say?

436
00:26:05,486 --> 00:26:07,536
Did he have a partner
or a government agency he

437
00:26:07,648 --> 00:26:09,299
was working with?

438
00:26:09,369 --> 00:26:14,141
Mr. Blandon, were you working
with a partner at that time?

439
00:26:14,294 --> 00:26:15,342
Yes.

440
00:26:15,856 --> 00:26:19,068
Norwin Meneses.

441
00:26:19,139 --> 00:26:20,506
That's correct.

442
00:26:20,521 --> 00:26:22,904
Wait a second, what exactly
is happening here, your honor?

443
00:26:22,943 --> 00:26:26,075
Clearly, this reporter
is giving direction to counsel.

444
00:26:26,146 --> 00:26:28,196
- Approach.
- Thank you.

445
00:26:31,191 --> 00:26:34,357
Your honor, this man
in the first row is a reporter

446
00:26:34,434 --> 00:26:36,040
and he's giving questions to counsel.

447
00:26:36,156 --> 00:26:38,001
If he is, and I'm not saying that he is...

448
00:26:38,078 --> 00:26:40,003
Well, he is.

449
00:26:43,003 --> 00:26:46,374
Ok, he is. But there's nothing in
the rules that says he can't.

450
00:26:46,446 --> 00:26:47,654
I don't like it.

451
00:26:47,728 --> 00:26:49,732
But I'm not going to stop it.
For now.

452
00:26:49,850 --> 00:26:52,743
Then I am compelled to warn
the court that this door leads to

453
00:26:52,853 --> 00:26:55,301
very sensitive national security matters.

454
00:26:55,375 --> 00:26:57,665
Then maybe you shouldn't
have opened it.

455
00:27:05,666 --> 00:27:09,561
Mr. Blandon, is it true
that you and Norwin Meneses...

456
00:27:09,630 --> 00:27:13,559
were in communication with
the federal government together?

457
00:27:15,876 --> 00:27:18,199
Can you tell us who in the
federal government you

458
00:27:18,358 --> 00:27:19,930
were in communication with?

459
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,726
Who were you working with?

460
00:27:23,003 --> 00:27:24,609
The FBI?

461
00:27:30,731 --> 00:27:34,979
Mr. Dodson can't answer
that question for you, Mr. Blandon.

462
00:27:35,175 --> 00:27:37,579
Remember, you're under oath.

463
00:27:38,418 --> 00:27:40,422
The DEA?

464
00:27:41,782 --> 00:27:43,627
No.

465
00:27:43,824 --> 00:27:46,033
It was the CIA.

466
00:27:46,106 --> 00:27:48,874
The Central Intelligence Agency.

467
00:27:50,430 --> 00:27:52,434
Yes.

468
00:27:52,993 --> 00:27:55,282
So, Mr. Blandon...

469
00:27:55,996 --> 00:27:58,285
what did the CIA have you do?

470
00:27:58,438 --> 00:28:00,044
Objection! Relevance, your honor!

471
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:03,606
Overruled. Mr. Blandon,
answer the question.

472
00:28:17,097 --> 00:28:20,422
We were asked to support...

473
00:28:20,781 --> 00:28:25,474
a free and democratic Nicaragua
- the Contras...

474
00:28:25,546 --> 00:28:27,117
the rebels...

475
00:28:27,628 --> 00:28:31,078
by sending planes into
Nicaragua and raising money here

476
00:28:31,151 --> 00:28:33,634
in the U.S. for the war.

477
00:28:36,997 --> 00:28:38,808
Mr. Blandon...

478
00:28:39,399 --> 00:28:44,410
did the CIA specifically know
that you were selling cocaine...

479
00:28:44,485 --> 00:28:47,492
to buy guns and supplies
to support its cause?

480
00:28:47,568 --> 00:28:51,782
Objection! This line of
questioning has absolutely no relevance.

481
00:28:51,852 --> 00:28:54,334
Overruled.

482
00:28:55,295 --> 00:28:57,585
They knew who we were.

483
00:28:57,858 --> 00:29:00,227
Why else would they come to us?

484
00:29:15,556 --> 00:29:16,795
<i>The day Ronald Reagan got elected,</i>

485
00:29:16,821 --> 00:29:18,654
<i>the Cubans and the Soviets
started triggering...</i>

486
00:29:18,739 --> 00:29:20,962
revolutions all over
South and Central America.

487
00:29:21,041 --> 00:29:22,328
And when they got Nicaragua...

488
00:29:22,483 --> 00:29:23,929
that put them fifty miles
from the Panama Canal.

489
00:29:24,004 --> 00:29:25,379
Reagan drew the line in the sand.

490
00:29:25,526 --> 00:29:28,088
And that's where America was
going to win the Cold War. Except...

491
00:29:28,168 --> 00:29:30,971
Congress hated Reagan's guts,
so they wanted nothing to do with him.

492
00:29:31,011 --> 00:29:33,699
They were never going to
fund his little Contra war.

493
00:29:33,814 --> 00:29:36,548
So the White House needed money.
Lots and lots of money.

494
00:29:36,617 --> 00:29:37,701
Guys, that's the eighties.

495
00:29:37,738 --> 00:29:38,661
It's ten year old news.
What's the story?

496
00:29:38,739 --> 00:29:39,342
Jerry, just let him finish.

497
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:44,671
Look, one of the DEA's most wanted
- not only not in jail for eternity...

498
00:29:44,745 --> 00:29:46,316
but apparently
on the government payroll.

499
00:29:46,386 --> 00:29:48,551
Admitting in open court
that he brought in thousands

500
00:29:48,669 --> 00:29:51,151
of kilos of cocaine to the US every day.

501
00:29:51,231 --> 00:29:52,074
For them.

502
00:29:52,192 --> 00:29:52,842
For who?

503
00:29:52,913 --> 00:29:54,325
The US government.
Or with them.

504
00:29:54,394 --> 00:29:56,684
Or at least while
they were looking the other way.

505
00:29:56,877 --> 00:29:57,720
Jesus.

506
00:29:57,798 --> 00:29:59,723
That little stunt
you pulled in that courtroom...

507
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,852
I got complaints
from Justice in Sacramento and Washington.

508
00:30:02,923 --> 00:30:04,005
Yeah, but I got Blandon.

509
00:30:04,084 --> 00:30:05,211
Jerry.

510
00:30:05,726 --> 00:30:08,299
This is the biggest
story the Merc's ever had.

511
00:30:08,368 --> 00:30:11,740
That's what worries me.
A lot of blind spots, you know?

512
00:30:11,852 --> 00:30:14,221
We don't know Washington.
We don't do International.

513
00:30:14,334 --> 00:30:15,177
We do now.

514
00:30:15,255 --> 00:30:18,148
We do, do we? How many
CIA sources to you have?

515
00:30:18,218 --> 00:30:20,222
- None yet.
- Get one.

516
00:30:21,742 --> 00:30:23,508
What are they saying officially?

517
00:30:23,944 --> 00:30:25,356
They're not even calling me back.

518
00:30:26,747 --> 00:30:28,318
Holy shit.

519
00:30:29,510 --> 00:30:30,637
Gary...

520
00:30:30,751 --> 00:30:33,598
You get some sources on the record,
see where we're at.

521
00:30:33,674 --> 00:30:35,325
Watch your ass.

522
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,245
<i>The success of Communism in
Central America poses the threat...</i>

523
00:30:43,363 --> 00:30:47,578
<i>that a hundred million people from Panama
to the open border at our south...</i>

524
00:30:47,648 --> 00:30:50,734
<i>could come under the control
of pro-Soviet regimes.</i>

525
00:30:50,931 --> 00:30:52,901
<i>If we cut off the freedom fighters...</i>

526
00:30:52,973 --> 00:30:57,141
<i>we will be giving the Soviets
a free hand in Central America.</i>

527
00:32:06,446 --> 00:32:08,177
Mr.Meneses?

528
00:32:09,329 --> 00:32:12,017
Hi. Gary Webb. How are you?

529
00:32:13,413 --> 00:32:16,546
Ok. What took you so long?

530
00:32:17,898 --> 00:32:19,504
How's that?

531
00:32:19,660 --> 00:32:22,142
No other reporter
has ever tried to find me.

532
00:32:23,063 --> 00:32:25,193
Are you a friend, Mr. Webb?

533
00:32:25,265 --> 00:32:28,192
Because your country
is no longer a friend of mine.

534
00:32:28,629 --> 00:32:30,394
I'm not an enemy.

535
00:32:33,674 --> 00:32:34,915
You play golf?

536
00:32:36,877 --> 00:32:38,368
Hockey.

537
00:32:39,119 --> 00:32:41,408
Step into my parlor.

538
00:32:57,017 --> 00:32:58,383
The five iron.

539
00:32:58,899 --> 00:33:00,903
A perfectly designed club.

540
00:33:01,542 --> 00:33:05,231
In golf, if you have a five iron,
you don't need anything else.

541
00:33:05,305 --> 00:33:09,075
If you use it, like a tool.
You can carve any shot in the game.

542
00:33:09,149 --> 00:33:12,714
You can even slice a man open
if you know how to use it properly.

543
00:33:18,158 --> 00:33:20,562
So, guns for drugs...

544
00:33:22,002 --> 00:33:25,407
You know, it's easy to think that
this situation was only about drugs.

545
00:33:25,526 --> 00:33:27,929
But you need to look at
it from our point of view.

546
00:33:28,008 --> 00:33:31,254
If the Contra movement would
have no friends and no money...

547
00:33:31,331 --> 00:33:33,940
we would have been forced to live under
a government that tells you what to say,

548
00:33:34,054 --> 00:33:36,423
what not to say, what to think,
what not to think.

549
00:33:36,497 --> 00:33:38,706
If you were me,
would you sit still and watch as your

550
00:33:38,779 --> 00:33:39,268
children are forced...

551
00:33:39,379 --> 00:33:45,154
to live a life of
irrelevance and servitude?

552
00:33:45,385 --> 00:33:47,276
And you watched
from the deck of your yacht?

553
00:33:47,347 --> 00:33:48,714
My yacht?

554
00:33:48,789 --> 00:33:52,957
Norwin, you were arrested for trafficking
narcotics for the first time in 1975.

555
00:33:53,033 --> 00:33:55,322
That's ten years before the Contra war.

556
00:33:55,796 --> 00:33:58,643
Come on, you're not a freedom fighter.

557
00:33:59,279 --> 00:34:01,283
I thought you were my friend.

558
00:34:01,522 --> 00:34:03,207
Just looking for the truth.

559
00:34:03,283 --> 00:34:05,094
Well you're gonna get the truth.

560
00:34:05,165 --> 00:34:07,329
You got someone else down here
I could talk to?

561
00:34:07,447 --> 00:34:10,101
I can introduce you to my banker, Mr. Baier.

562
00:34:10,170 --> 00:34:11,776
I'd like that.

563
00:34:19,019 --> 00:34:21,149
Come, I show you the airstrip now.

564
00:34:24,384 --> 00:34:25,831
<i>So when did all of this start?</i>

565
00:34:26,026 --> 00:34:29,477
They were always looking
for ways to raise money to fight this war.

566
00:34:30,310 --> 00:34:32,475
There was this one time when Ollie...

567
00:34:33,193 --> 00:34:35,676
Ollie went to his friends in Washington,

568
00:34:35,836 --> 00:34:39,127
- and this is years ago-
- Oliver North?

569
00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:40,612
Oliver North.

570
00:34:40,801 --> 00:34:43,569
No, Oliver Hardy. Yes, Oliver North.

571
00:34:43,644 --> 00:34:47,094
So he said why don't we use the cash
seized from the cocaine arrests...

572
00:34:47,167 --> 00:34:49,537
to fund and support the Contra war?

573
00:34:49,650 --> 00:34:51,301
Of course, they declined you know.

574
00:34:51,371 --> 00:34:52,419
But as you can see,

575
00:34:52,493 --> 00:34:55,659
Ollie wasn't the only
person with ideas like this.

576
00:35:02,142 --> 00:35:03,509
<i>Did it have to be drugs?</i>

577
00:35:03,904 --> 00:35:05,988
The ends justify the means.

578
00:35:06,426 --> 00:35:07,714
Yeah, write that down.

579
00:35:07,868 --> 00:35:09,520
You Americans don't
want coconuts or bananas.

580
00:35:09,630 --> 00:35:12,363
You want cocaine,
and I know where to find cocaine.

581
00:35:12,473 --> 00:35:17,005
<i>And my pilots were already flying
from Central America to the United States.</i>

582
00:35:17,077 --> 00:35:18,683
<i>And they were American.</i>

583
00:35:18,839 --> 00:35:20,570
How long ago was this shut down?

584
00:35:21,081 --> 00:35:23,530
Eight to ten years ago.

585
00:35:24,885 --> 00:35:26,969
The land is now privately owned.

586
00:35:30,090 --> 00:35:34,544
If I was in the CIA and I was risking my life
overseas doing something illegal...

587
00:35:34,975 --> 00:35:40,066
believe me, I would want someone
like me to help do the job.

588
00:35:40,661 --> 00:35:42,745
Write this name down: Fred Weil.

589
00:35:42,903 --> 00:35:44,669
W-E-I-L

590
00:35:44,985 --> 00:35:46,910
That's the guy you have to talk to.

591
00:35:48,709 --> 00:35:49,950
What was stored here?

592
00:35:50,070 --> 00:35:53,043
Weapons. Cash.

593
00:35:53,113 --> 00:35:55,847
Lots and lots of cash.

594
00:35:57,918 --> 00:35:59,729
These pilots, do you know their names?

595
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:01,725
I don't know.

596
00:36:03,644 --> 00:36:05,806
Now that you know the truth,
you will be faced with the

597
00:36:05,846 --> 00:36:07,691
most important decision of your life.

598
00:36:07,768 --> 00:36:09,419
Oh yeah. What's that?

599
00:36:10,090 --> 00:36:12,220
Deciding whether to share it or not.

600
00:36:15,415 --> 00:36:17,705
You have a family? You married?

601
00:36:21,502 --> 00:36:23,312
Like I said.

602
00:36:27,267 --> 00:36:32,153
The pilots used little airstrips
in Florida, Arizona, California.

603
00:36:32,272 --> 00:36:33,685
Come.

604
00:36:53,253 --> 00:36:54,745
I'll take care of it.

605
00:36:56,256 --> 00:36:58,739
Down on your knees.
Keep your head down.

606
00:36:59,540 --> 00:37:00,702
Don't answer that.

607
00:37:03,464 --> 00:37:05,274
Passport.

608
00:37:20,481 --> 00:37:22,804
Yes, we have to go now.
We're leaving.

609
00:37:22,963 --> 00:37:25,206
Nice and calm.

610
00:37:27,447 --> 00:37:29,338
Nice and calm.

611
00:38:09,770 --> 00:38:10,613
You're where?

612
00:38:10,691 --> 00:38:12,695
I'm in DC. And look, don't worry.

613
00:38:12,813 --> 00:38:13,613
You want me here.

614
00:38:13,654 --> 00:38:14,816
Trust me on this, Anna.

615
00:38:14,895 --> 00:38:15,863
The guys are getting nervous.

616
00:38:15,976 --> 00:38:17,138
You're supposed to be back here.

617
00:38:17,217 --> 00:38:20,064
<i>Look, I changed planes in Miami.
I kept all my receipts.</i>

618
00:38:20,180 --> 00:38:23,506
I'll pay for my own damn flight back
home if I have to, all right?

619
00:38:23,584 --> 00:38:24,392
We can't do this on the phone,

620
00:38:24,465 --> 00:38:26,434
and I don't want
to do this on the phone.

621
00:38:26,547 --> 00:38:28,836
Look, I've got to go.

622
00:38:42,042 --> 00:38:43,169
Fred Weil?

623
00:38:44,124 --> 00:38:46,254
Gary Webb, San Jose Mercury-News.

624
00:38:46,446 --> 00:38:48,736
I don't talk to the press.
Call Public Affairs.

625
00:38:50,370 --> 00:38:52,215
I spoke to Norwin Meneses.

626
00:38:57,017 --> 00:39:00,183
That's classified. How did you get it?

627
00:39:00,621 --> 00:39:02,466
Got it from a drug dealer.

628
00:39:05,145 --> 00:39:06,352
Perfect.

629
00:39:08,028 --> 00:39:13,518
Listen, I was John Kerry's lead investigator on
the senate subcommittee that investigated this.

630
00:39:13,594 --> 00:39:16,806
You have no idea
what you're getting into.

631
00:39:19,159 --> 00:39:20,207
Why don't you tell me?

632
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,886
Tell me what I'm getting into.

633
00:39:27,848 --> 00:39:30,934
I'm on the National
Security Council now.

634
00:39:31,932 --> 00:39:35,782
And I have the trust
of the President and his cabinet.

635
00:39:37,978 --> 00:39:41,428
It took me ten years
to get back to that place.

636
00:39:41,502 --> 00:39:43,905
Your name goes nowhere near this.

637
00:39:44,304 --> 00:39:47,517
This conversation never happened.
You have my word on that.

638
00:39:49,069 --> 00:39:50,671
You ever done anything like this before?

639
00:39:50,751 --> 00:39:51,913
No.

640
00:39:51,992 --> 00:39:53,199
Has your paper?

641
00:39:53,313 --> 00:39:54,646
Not that I'm aware of.

642
00:39:56,877 --> 00:39:59,166
Some fancy information that you have there.

643
00:40:00,801 --> 00:40:02,372
And dangerous.

644
00:40:02,483 --> 00:40:04,533
I'd be remiss if I didn't
tell you that other reporters

645
00:40:04,645 --> 00:40:07,457
have been down this rabbit hole.

646
00:40:07,528 --> 00:40:10,374
Seasoned reporters.
Who knew their way around Washington.

647
00:40:10,491 --> 00:40:11,492
And Central America.

648
00:40:11,532 --> 00:40:14,014
- So what are you telling me?
- I had an American citizen...

649
00:40:14,174 --> 00:40:18,342
a rich Republican Party fund-raiser,
a White House favorite, in my office..

650
00:40:18,418 --> 00:40:20,263
upset about things he was hearing.

651
00:40:20,340 --> 00:40:23,347
He believed in freedom
and defeating communism...

652
00:40:23,423 --> 00:40:26,350
but not in laundering
narcotics money for guns.

653
00:40:26,426 --> 00:40:30,116
And he's sitting
in my office in the U.S. Senate...

654
00:40:30,190 --> 00:40:35,042
and he gets a phone call
telling him that if he talked to me...

655
00:40:35,195 --> 00:40:36,722
he'd die.

656
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,926
This is your ticket out of small time,
right?

657
00:40:43,363 --> 00:40:45,972
- You're going to make your bones on this.
- This is a true story

658
00:40:46,046 --> 00:40:48,939
My friend, some stories
are just too true to tell.

659
00:40:50,531 --> 00:40:52,182
That's bullshit.

660
00:40:52,252 --> 00:40:53,459
Yeah?

661
00:40:55,496 --> 00:40:57,226
And yes, it is.

662
00:40:57,538 --> 00:40:59,508
Congratulations.
You figured that out.

663
00:41:03,063 --> 00:41:04,988
“Too true to tell.”

664
00:41:14,915 --> 00:41:18,240
<i>Welcome to San Francisco
International airport.</i>

665
00:41:18,318 --> 00:41:20,801
<i>Please do not leave your bags unattended.</i>

666
00:43:00,300 --> 00:43:04,515
Sometimes I wish I could just climb
inside that head of yours

667
00:43:05,025 --> 00:43:07,268
and see all the shit you carry around.

668
00:43:07,347 --> 00:43:08,839
Really?

669
00:43:08,909 --> 00:43:11,677
No. Not really.

670
00:43:15,435 --> 00:43:17,166
There's too many bad guys.

671
00:43:18,599 --> 00:43:20,170
And ghosts.

672
00:43:20,481 --> 00:43:23,214
And scary monsters running around.

673
00:43:23,484 --> 00:43:26,889
Well, what do you want me to do,
Sue? Do something else for a living?

674
00:43:28,368 --> 00:43:29,531
No.

675
00:43:35,375 --> 00:43:37,027
This one just scares me.

676
00:43:42,943 --> 00:43:43,944
Be careful.

677
00:43:45,866 --> 00:43:47,028
Hey.

678
00:43:55,716 --> 00:43:56,717
Yeah.

679
00:44:02,923 --> 00:44:04,449
Jesus.

680
00:44:08,729 --> 00:44:09,731
Hello?

681
00:44:09,850 --> 00:44:11,581
<i>It's Russell Dodson.</i>

682
00:44:15,455 --> 00:44:16,947
Hello, Russell Dodson.

683
00:44:17,057 --> 00:44:20,223
<i>Listen, we haven't
handled this right at all.</i>

684
00:44:20,380 --> 00:44:22,670
<i>Before you print anything,
there's a few guys from</i>

685
00:44:22,743 --> 00:44:25,066
<i>D.C. that would like
to sit down with you.</i>

686
00:44:25,626 --> 00:44:27,517
<i>You should hear them out.</i>

687
00:44:28,709 --> 00:44:30,155
I'm listening.

688
00:44:51,131 --> 00:44:52,213
Gary.

689
00:44:52,533 --> 00:44:53,899
Thanks for coming.

690
00:44:53,974 --> 00:44:56,628
I'm Agent Miller,
and this is Agent Jones.

691
00:44:56,937 --> 00:44:59,625
- Can we get you a cup of coffee?
- No.

692
00:45:00,180 --> 00:45:02,150
How about one of those cappuccinos?

693
00:45:02,262 --> 00:45:06,477
Just got a new espresso machine probably
cost the tax payers thirty grand.

694
00:45:07,708 --> 00:45:09,120
No, I'm fine.

695
00:45:10,991 --> 00:45:12,757
Get him a cappuccino.

696
00:45:16,837 --> 00:45:18,879
Now we don't agree
with everything that happens in

697
00:45:18,919 --> 00:45:21,528
our agencies, so this
is a little awkward for us.

698
00:45:21,642 --> 00:45:24,933
But you're getting
into some sensitive areas.

699
00:45:25,005 --> 00:45:29,059
There are ongoing operations
you're in danger of exposing.

700
00:45:29,409 --> 00:45:33,304
Operations that have taken months,
years to set up.

701
00:45:33,453 --> 00:45:36,666
Thousands of man hours,
millions to fund.

702
00:45:40,501 --> 00:45:41,992
And how do you know that?

703
00:45:42,422 --> 00:45:46,830
We know you were in Nicaragua.
We know you saw Meneses.

704
00:45:51,151 --> 00:45:52,723
Am I being followed?

705
00:45:53,233 --> 00:45:54,234
What's your angle, Webb?

706
00:45:54,314 --> 00:45:56,843
Some governmental informants are scumbags?

707
00:45:56,917 --> 00:45:59,959
Look, I was under the impression that
you guys had something to say to me?

708
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,845
But, to answer your question, no.

709
00:46:01,962 --> 00:46:04,092
My angle is that the
American government knew drugs were

710
00:46:04,164 --> 00:46:06,328
put on the streets
to fund an illegal war.

711
00:46:06,446 --> 00:46:09,533
What you want to say happened,
never happened.

712
00:46:13,293 --> 00:46:15,104
Then why am I here?

713
00:46:15,335 --> 00:46:16,862
American kids...

714
00:46:16,937 --> 00:46:18,703
were going to die in that war.

715
00:46:19,019 --> 00:46:21,832
American kids did die.
They're still dying.

716
00:46:22,022 --> 00:46:24,551
Just not the ones you care about,
apparently.

717
00:46:24,905 --> 00:46:27,559
We'd never threaten your children, Mr. Webb.

718
00:46:27,628 --> 00:46:29,358
My children?

719
00:46:30,471 --> 00:46:32,281
What did you say?

720
00:46:43,043 --> 00:46:44,729
I'm writing the story.

721
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,927
Okay. I'm about to press “send”.

722
00:48:43,203 --> 00:48:45,732
<i>We're ready. All hands on deck.</i>

723
00:48:45,846 --> 00:48:47,498
Don't over-edit it.

724
00:48:48,008 --> 00:48:49,249
<i>Don't worry.</i>

725
00:48:50,971 --> 00:48:51,972
Anna.

726
00:48:52,172 --> 00:48:54,542
<i>Gary. I got it.</i>

727
00:48:55,335 --> 00:48:57,339
<i>Go enjoy your family.</i>

728
00:49:16,837 --> 00:49:19,001
Let's go, let's go, let's go!

729
00:49:19,079 --> 00:49:21,688
All right last one in is a rotten egg!

730
00:49:25,886 --> 00:49:27,572
Is it cold or warm?

731
00:49:27,728 --> 00:49:28,571
- It's warm.
- Ready?

732
00:49:28,729 --> 00:49:30,779
All right; precious cargo.

733
00:49:32,533 --> 00:49:33,945
Dizzy yet?

734
00:49:34,054 --> 00:49:35,181
- No.
- Okay.

735
00:49:35,255 --> 00:49:37,339
Come on, Momma!

736
00:49:37,417 --> 00:49:39,502
- Come on, Mom, get in.
- Why do they gang up on momma?

737
00:49:39,580 --> 00:49:43,304
- You have to dry my hair!
- Where you going, Dad?

738
00:49:44,745 --> 00:49:46,795
- Dad...
- Don't!

739
00:49:59,119 --> 00:50:01,089
Dad, it's up! It's online!

740
00:50:01,562 --> 00:50:02,689
Mom!

741
00:50:03,363 --> 00:50:06,769
Oh my god, Mom, check this out.
It just went up. It's everywhere.

742
00:50:07,888 --> 00:50:08,688
Gary!

743
00:50:08,769 --> 00:50:09,896
For the better part of a decade,

744
00:50:09,970 --> 00:50:12,704
a San Francisco Bay-area
drug ring sold tons of cocaine...

745
00:50:12,773 --> 00:50:16,023
to the Crips and Bloods street gangs of
Los Angeles and funneled millions...

746
00:50:16,096 --> 00:50:18,625
in drug profits to
Latin American guerrilla army run

747
00:50:18,779 --> 00:50:20,145
by the US Central Intelligence Agency...

748
00:50:20,260 --> 00:50:22,185
a Mercury news investigation has found.

749
00:50:22,262 --> 00:50:25,012
This drug network opened the first
pipeline between Columbia and...

750
00:50:38,198 --> 00:50:39,280
Hey.

751
00:50:40,961 --> 00:50:42,452
Hey.

752
00:50:43,323 --> 00:50:44,895
You did it.

753
00:50:46,206 --> 00:50:47,812
Yeah.

754
00:50:49,169 --> 00:50:51,173
Want to go fool around in the woods?

755
00:50:54,334 --> 00:50:55,134
Yeah.

756
00:50:55,175 --> 00:50:57,829
- Yes, I do.
- Yes, I do.

757
00:50:59,139 --> 00:51:02,864
- Don't look, don't look.
- Hey, come on!

758
00:51:02,983 --> 00:51:06,308
<i>You should see our switchboard!
It is lit up like a Christmas tree!</i>

759
00:51:06,386 --> 00:51:08,428
<i>We're getting calls
from all over the world. Gary.</i>

760
00:51:08,469 --> 00:51:09,915
What do you want to do?

761
00:51:09,990 --> 00:51:12,473
Well, it's just the beginning,
isn't it?

762
00:51:12,593 --> 00:51:14,323
I think there's more to do.

763
00:51:14,434 --> 00:51:16,804
<i>Got to keep riding out the story.
Keep digging.</i>

764
00:51:16,877 --> 00:51:17,686
Anything you need.

765
00:51:17,838 --> 00:51:20,002
Okay? But take a victory lap.

766
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,284
<i>Hey, that graphic you guys used?</i>

767
00:51:22,362 --> 00:51:24,936
The crack pipe on the CIA emblem?

768
00:51:25,125 --> 00:51:25,968
Are you out of your mind?

769
00:51:26,046 --> 00:51:27,971
It's like the CIA is cooking
crack in their basement.

770
00:51:28,048 --> 00:51:31,260
Gary. That was my idea,
so blame me, but come on.

771
00:51:31,331 --> 00:51:32,903
We got their attention, didn't we?

772
00:51:33,013 --> 00:51:35,336
We're just calling
to say thanks for doing this.

773
00:51:35,415 --> 00:51:39,903
<i>- There is a lot of pride here this morning.
- Congratulations, buddy.</i>

774
00:51:40,020 --> 00:51:41,352
Hey. Gary.

775
00:51:41,421 --> 00:51:42,788
<i>Yeah?</i>

776
00:51:42,983 --> 00:51:44,349
You did it.

777
00:51:44,465 --> 00:51:46,070
<i>This is the big one.</i>

778
00:51:46,507 --> 00:51:48,397
<i>Enjoy yourself!</i>

779
00:52:13,053 --> 00:52:16,424
Let's focus on the Washington Post,
New York Times and the LA Times.

780
00:52:16,537 --> 00:52:18,347
And get Richard Zuckerman on the phone.

781
00:52:30,390 --> 00:52:34,160
What interests me is who is gonna tell me
how we missed this goddamned story.

782
00:52:34,234 --> 00:52:36,000
How'd the San Jose Mercury News,

783
00:52:36,076 --> 00:52:38,923
a paper one-fifth the size
of the Los Angeles Times...

784
00:52:39,039 --> 00:52:40,930
and three hundred
miles away-scooped us...

785
00:52:41,041 --> 00:52:42,168
on one of the most
important stories in this city in,

786
00:52:42,242 --> 00:52:44,451
in what? Twenty years?

787
00:52:44,645 --> 00:52:46,854
How about you, Rich?
Didn't you cover Ricky Ross?

788
00:52:46,927 --> 00:52:48,579
- Parts of it.
- Yeah, apparently the wrong parts.

789
00:52:48,689 --> 00:52:50,170
We had Blandon in one of our stories.

790
00:52:50,250 --> 00:52:51,856
- As what?
- A government source.

791
00:52:51,932 --> 00:52:53,094
He's also apparently almost single-handedly

792
00:52:53,213 --> 00:52:54,944
responsible for the crack epidemic.

793
00:52:55,055 --> 00:52:56,468
Which, by the way, started right here...

794
00:52:56,577 --> 00:53:00,426
in Watts,
five fucking miles from where we're sitting.

795
00:53:01,462 --> 00:53:02,510
Look, I don't need to tell you this...

796
00:53:02,583 --> 00:53:06,672
but if this story stands,
some of your people are going to jail.

797
00:53:06,747 --> 00:53:09,195
<i>The idea that any one person
could have played a decisive</i>

798
00:53:09,269 --> 00:53:09,520
<i>role in the crack epidemic...</i>

799
00:53:09,590 --> 00:53:13,040
- ...is absurd.
- <i>What about Norwin Meneses?</i>

800
00:53:13,113 --> 00:53:13,603
We have no documentation...

801
00:53:13,674 --> 00:53:16,327
<i>...that this guy ever
did any business with us.</i>

802
00:53:16,436 --> 00:53:18,680
This Gary Webb, he's got nothing.

803
00:53:18,759 --> 00:53:21,686
<i>He's got drug dealers and
money launderers as sources.</i>

804
00:53:21,762 --> 00:53:23,812
Rich, you know this guy Webb.
What do you think?

805
00:53:23,964 --> 00:53:25,616
It's thin.

806
00:53:26,246 --> 00:53:29,618
Except that he posted all
his sources on the Merc website.

807
00:53:29,690 --> 00:53:31,535
- So?
- So nobody's done that before.

808
00:53:31,612 --> 00:53:34,824
I need every line of that story taken
apart and checked for inaccuracies.

809
00:53:34,975 --> 00:53:37,025
Get Dominic Brady
back here from Washington.

810
00:53:37,137 --> 00:53:39,120
I want at least 15
people on this thing.

811
00:53:39,146 --> 00:53:40,568
What if we're over reacting?

812
00:53:40,621 --> 00:53:42,431
I mean, it's the San Jose Mercury News.

813
00:53:42,503 --> 00:53:44,792
Is anyone even going to pay attention?

814
00:53:45,145 --> 00:53:48,311
<i>A reporter for the
San Jose Mercury News suggested...</i>

815
00:53:48,388 --> 00:53:50,997
<i>that the CIA might have played a role...</i>

816
00:53:51,071 --> 00:53:53,405
<i>in permitting Nicaraguan
drug dealers to distribute...</i>

817
00:53:53,433 --> 00:53:58,205
<i>crack cocaine in south central
Los Angeles during the 1980's.</i>

818
00:53:58,318 --> 00:54:02,647
That had enormous resonance within
the African-American community.

819
00:54:02,763 --> 00:54:06,567
We have been faked out,
we have been tricked,

820
00:54:06,647 --> 00:54:08,457
and we have been undermined.

821
00:54:08,529 --> 00:54:11,502
If they had put that crack
in Beverly Hills,

822
00:54:11,612 --> 00:54:13,742
it would be a presidential issue.

823
00:54:13,814 --> 00:54:17,026
We love our children.
Just like you love yours.

824
00:54:17,097 --> 00:54:19,546
I think it is enough information here...

825
00:54:19,660 --> 00:54:23,349
to say to the CIA,
you stand accused.

826
00:54:23,423 --> 00:54:26,988
<i>President Clinton will be back out
on the campaign trail next week -</i>

827
00:54:29,550 --> 00:54:31,280
I've got...

828
00:54:31,351 --> 00:54:35,201
requests for you from CNN, CNBC...

829
00:54:35,315 --> 00:54:39,723
Jerry Springer,
Geraldo Rivera and Montel Williams.

830
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,745
The London Times and Le Monde
are sending in to interview you...

831
00:54:42,843 --> 00:54:46,214
and Sixty Minutes
and Dateline both want you, but

832
00:54:46,286 --> 00:54:47,745
only if you don't do the other one.

833
00:54:47,848 --> 00:54:50,376
And I just got the call last night...

834
00:54:50,851 --> 00:54:54,415
the National Press
Association Journalist of the Year...

835
00:54:54,535 --> 00:54:56,539
is Mr. Gary Webb.

836
00:54:56,657 --> 00:54:58,069
Congratulations. Gary.

837
00:55:03,263 --> 00:55:05,872
On, baby!

838
00:55:09,229 --> 00:55:09,833
Thank you.

839
00:55:09,910 --> 00:55:11,596
Life's beautiful.

840
00:55:18,759 --> 00:55:21,925
<i>It's checking out Richard.
I spoke with the banker in Panama City.</i>

841
00:55:22,082 --> 00:55:25,568
<i>His name is Hans Jorg Baier.
He met with Webb. He confirmed...</i>

842
00:55:25,686 --> 00:55:28,009
he laundered drug money for the Contras.

843
00:55:28,088 --> 00:55:29,899
<i>Norwin Meneses was his client.</i>

844
00:55:30,050 --> 00:55:32,419
Are these sources reliable enough?
For the Post?

845
00:55:32,493 --> 00:55:34,258
I mean, they're all drug dealers.

846
00:55:34,374 --> 00:55:36,140
The banker isn't a drug dealer.

847
00:55:36,256 --> 00:55:40,185
<i>Also, there's this American ex-pat that had
a ranch in the jungle for thirty years.</i>

848
00:55:40,260 --> 00:55:44,030
<i>And he let these two American pilots
land and take off from his airstrip.</i>

849
00:55:44,104 --> 00:55:47,111
And, he let them store
dope on his property.

850
00:55:47,187 --> 00:55:49,229
You're talking to drug
dealers and money launderers.

851
00:55:49,269 --> 00:55:51,160
I'm talking to Langley.

852
00:55:51,271 --> 00:55:52,398
<i>Well, I'm filing.</i>

853
00:55:52,473 --> 00:55:54,442
You guys do whatever you want with it.

854
00:55:59,119 --> 00:56:00,451
So what's our point of view?

855
00:56:00,561 --> 00:56:03,043
That Webb doesn't have any
legitimate sources...

856
00:56:03,283 --> 00:56:06,609
That the CIA would never use these
low-lifes and in fact denies it,

857
00:56:06,727 --> 00:56:08,061
in fact denies it unequivocally.

858
00:56:08,128 --> 00:56:11,135
That basically, he's a
fraud and so is his story.

859
00:56:14,094 --> 00:56:16,464
I'll take that upstairs
and see if it'll fly.

860
00:56:19,459 --> 00:56:21,783
Yeah, you're going to turn into a chip.

861
00:56:21,902 --> 00:56:23,268
Hey, wait you guys, it's on.

862
00:56:23,343 --> 00:56:24,949
Come here, it's on.

863
00:56:25,105 --> 00:56:27,998
<i>In tonight's Eye on America,
accusations...</i>

864
00:56:28,148 --> 00:56:30,802
<i>underscore the word
accusations” that are nothing...</i>

865
00:56:30,871 --> 00:56:33,353
<i>short of explosive.
hat the CIA...</i>

866
00:56:33,474 --> 00:56:38,883
<i>knowingly and intentionally did what amounts
to pump crack cocaine into Los Angeles...</i>

867
00:56:38,959 --> 00:56:39,882
That's not what he said.

868
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:41,487
<i>...to help fund rebels in Nicaragua.</i>

869
00:56:41,602 --> 00:56:42,729
You never said “intentionally.”

870
00:56:42,803 --> 00:56:45,969
<i>Whether or not these claims prove true,
they anger they...</i>

871
00:56:52,092 --> 00:56:53,619
<i>A lot of people are saying...</i>

872
00:56:53,694 --> 00:56:55,903
of course,
including people in Congress...

873
00:56:55,976 --> 00:57:01,705
that the CIA intentionally addicted
African Americans to crack cocaine.

874
00:57:01,822 --> 00:57:05,272
Right. Well, what you and others are
doing is putting words in my mouth.

875
00:57:05,345 --> 00:57:06,553
We never made that claim.

876
00:57:06,667 --> 00:57:10,277
<i>What have you got to prove that
Americans working in the US government...</i>

877
00:57:10,350 --> 00:57:12,799
<i>collaborated in selling
crack cocaine into the</i>

878
00:57:12,873 --> 00:57:15,607
<i>African American community of Los Angeles?</i>

879
00:57:15,676 --> 00:57:18,842
<i>Well, first of all, we never
said that Americans working</i>

880
00:57:18,919 --> 00:57:20,280
<i>in the government were doing this.</i>

881
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,929
<i>These were Nicaraguans
working for the CIA-run army.</i>

882
00:57:23,003 --> 00:57:26,055
<i>Okay. It's not CIA-U.S. officials.</i>

883
00:57:26,206 --> 00:57:27,288
<i>Not that we know so far.</i>

884
00:57:27,367 --> 00:57:29,292
<i>Okay. It's not U.S. officials.
Okay. Go ahead.</i>

885
00:57:29,369 --> 00:57:33,936
What the CIA wanted to do was to fight
a war that Congress didn't want.

886
00:57:34,014 --> 00:57:35,223
And the ripple effect of that

887
00:57:35,335 --> 00:57:37,146
- what happened in south Los Angeles
and other American cities

888
00:57:37,217 --> 00:57:38,823
- well that was a mistake.

889
00:57:38,899 --> 00:57:40,983
This is a smoking cannon...

890
00:57:41,061 --> 00:57:44,386
that leads all the
way to the White House.

891
00:57:44,785 --> 00:57:46,231
<i>We have no evidence...</i>

892
00:57:46,306 --> 00:57:48,072
of a conspiracy by the CIA...

893
00:57:48,228 --> 00:57:50,882
to engage in encouraging
drug traffickers in Nicaragua...

894
00:57:50,991 --> 00:57:52,882
I am going to make somebody...

895
00:57:52,993 --> 00:57:57,845
pay for what they have done
to my community and to my people.

896
00:57:57,918 --> 00:57:59,684
Don't give me the conspiracy bull -

897
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:04,292
There has never been
a conspiracy in this country.

898
00:58:26,947 --> 00:58:28,109
Senior Baier...

899
00:58:44,605 --> 00:58:45,607
Hello?

900
00:58:45,686 --> 00:58:47,451
It's Fred Weil.

901
00:58:49,770 --> 00:58:51,900
You haven't seen the east coast papers yet?

902
00:58:52,893 --> 00:58:54,100
No.

903
00:58:55,135 --> 00:58:56,901
It's 4 AM.

904
00:59:01,902 --> 00:59:03,986
I was you once. Gary,

905
00:59:04,785 --> 00:59:09,351
<i>I started down this road.
Though nowhere near as far as you are.</i>

906
00:59:10,531 --> 00:59:11,331
<i>When they saw...</i>

907
00:59:11,371 --> 00:59:14,503
I wasn't gonna stop,
they 'controversialized' me.

908
00:59:18,038 --> 00:59:20,042
<i>Do you have any idea
what I'm talking about?</i>

909
00:59:23,123 --> 00:59:25,446
<i>They make you the story.</i>

910
00:59:26,927 --> 00:59:32,257
<i>And you have a history of schizophrenia,
you're a liar, you're a homo...</i>

911
00:59:32,332 --> 00:59:34,257
you beat your dog...

912
00:59:34,495 --> 00:59:35,018
you're a pedophile -

913
00:59:35,135 --> 00:59:37,139
it doesn't matter if none of it's true.
The point is...

914
00:59:37,257 --> 00:59:40,663
<i>no one remembers what you found.
They remember you...</i>

915
00:59:41,622 --> 00:59:43,467
<i>and you're nuts.</i>

916
00:59:43,904 --> 00:59:45,795
<i>You cease to exist.</i>

917
00:59:50,511 --> 00:59:52,162
<i>You there?</i>

918
00:59:53,914 --> 00:59:55,725
Yeah, I'm here.

919
00:59:55,836 --> 00:59:58,079
<i>Remember, you get the most flak...</i>

920
00:59:58,519 --> 01:00:01,127
<i>when you're right above the target.</i>

921
01:00:02,763 --> 01:00:04,680
<i>That's when they empty
all their guns into you.</i>

922
01:00:04,725 --> 01:00:08,289
<i>When you're about
to drop a bomb on the on the Kremlin...</i>

923
01:00:10,330 --> 01:00:13,064
<i>Or in this case,
the Central Intelligence Agency.</i>

924
01:00:16,617 --> 01:00:18,542
<i>Hang in there. Gary.</i>

925
01:00:46,687 --> 01:00:47,894
Morning.

926
01:00:53,774 --> 01:00:55,186
You guys don't look so good.

927
01:00:55,255 --> 01:00:56,256
Morning, Gary.

928
01:00:56,336 --> 01:00:57,703
Good morning.

929
01:00:57,938 --> 01:00:59,429
We just want to take your temperature,
you know, get

930
01:00:59,500 --> 01:01:01,823
your perspective before we weigh in here.

931
01:01:02,422 --> 01:01:03,471
About what?

932
01:01:03,584 --> 01:01:06,591
Well, the CIA's response to you for one.

933
01:01:06,707 --> 01:01:08,871
Well, there isn't one really, is there?

934
01:01:09,149 --> 01:01:10,436
Still nothing?

935
01:01:10,551 --> 01:01:12,555
Not a single source?
I mean...

936
01:01:12,633 --> 01:01:16,680
at this point, I'll take anybody who
takes home a check from the CIA. Anyone.

937
01:01:16,757 --> 01:01:18,362
They're a secretive organization,

938
01:01:18,438 --> 01:01:21,192
Jerry. I mean, that's what they do.
They're secretive. They don't talk.

939
01:01:21,201 --> 01:01:23,410
Well, at least the Washington
Post isn't saying we got

940
01:01:23,443 --> 01:01:24,366
all our facts wrong.

941
01:01:24,444 --> 01:01:25,607
Because they're not.

942
01:01:25,626 --> 01:01:28,413
But what the Post is saying is that
we're just here to attest to the moral

943
01:01:28,489 --> 01:01:31,097
purity of the
Central Intelligence Agency.

944
01:01:31,171 --> 01:01:33,575
Gary, Walter Zuckerman is a living legend.

945
01:01:33,654 --> 01:01:36,467
Yeah, who thinks his job
is to defend the CIA.

946
01:01:36,577 --> 01:01:37,659
He used to work for them.

947
01:01:37,778 --> 01:01:40,785
He was a media intern for
god's sakes. Am I crazy?

948
01:01:40,861 --> 01:01:43,470
I mean reading this stuff
is like reading Pravda circa 1953,

949
01:01:43,544 --> 01:01:45,309
you guys. I mean,
what am I missing here?

950
01:01:45,466 --> 01:01:49,235
Gary, cards on the table.
We got a call from Corporate this morning.

951
01:01:49,309 --> 01:01:50,671
They are getting a little nervous.

952
01:01:50,711 --> 01:01:52,920
And so we're just going to take a beat,
step back,

953
01:01:52,993 --> 01:01:55,043
look at the big picture
on behalf of the paper.

954
01:01:55,115 --> 01:01:58,008
We don't want to print anything else
until we get our ducks in a row, ok?

955
01:01:58,118 --> 01:01:59,804
And we're keeping you in the loop.

956
01:02:00,481 --> 01:02:02,645
No big deal

957
01:02:02,723 --> 01:02:05,046
- Gary, can I talk to you for a second?
- Yeah.

958
01:02:21,542 --> 01:02:22,908
I just got a call.

959
01:02:23,023 --> 01:02:25,950
NBC's canceling their segment on the
story. They're not gonna run it.

960
01:02:26,026 --> 01:02:27,712
And you're not going to believe this,
but we've heard

961
01:02:27,828 --> 01:02:29,480
the Washington Post is going
to say you're an active

962
01:02:29,550 --> 01:02:31,360
part of Ricky Ross' defense...

963
01:02:31,512 --> 01:02:33,197
that your involvement verges
on complicity and that

964
01:02:33,313 --> 01:02:36,240
you and Ricky Ross are telling
this fairy tale together.

965
01:02:36,997 --> 01:02:38,808
- It's not funny.
- Come on.

966
01:02:38,879 --> 01:02:41,202
- It's funny.
- No, our careers could be on the line.

967
01:02:41,321 --> 01:02:43,405
Look, we drew blood.
They're going to say anything.

968
01:02:43,524 --> 01:02:44,890
Would you?

969
01:02:45,606 --> 01:02:46,813
What?

970
01:02:48,168 --> 01:02:50,457
I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.

971
01:02:50,851 --> 01:02:52,217
You think I'd make some shit up?

972
01:02:52,332 --> 01:02:53,859
No.

973
01:02:54,535 --> 01:02:56,379
- You're my editor.
- I know.

974
01:02:57,137 --> 01:03:00,223
It's my name on this story but it's
your name on that damn door.

975
01:03:00,741 --> 01:03:02,346
Don't forget that.

976
01:03:02,663 --> 01:03:04,234
Right there.

977
01:03:11,231 --> 01:03:12,644
It's Rich Kline.

978
01:03:13,193 --> 01:03:14,685
<i>It's Gary Webb.</i>

979
01:03:15,556 --> 01:03:17,047
Really?

980
01:03:17,798 --> 01:03:19,848
Ok.

981
01:03:22,042 --> 01:03:23,408
Hello?

982
01:03:23,564 --> 01:03:25,249
What's happening here, Rich?

983
01:03:26,366 --> 01:03:28,576
The only people you have in your story...

984
01:03:28,649 --> 01:03:30,220
is the former Director of the CIA,

985
01:03:30,330 --> 01:03:32,654
the current Director
of the CIA and - guess who -

986
01:03:32,733 --> 01:03:35,022
a bunch of CIA officials.

987
01:03:35,415 --> 01:03:37,181
<i>Are you following up on anything
I wrote or are you</i>

988
01:03:37,257 --> 01:03:38,670
<i>just talking to the CIA?</i>

989
01:03:38,739 --> 01:03:40,265
I can't be talking to you.

990
01:03:41,181 --> 01:03:42,514
<i>Why?</i>

991
01:03:43,944 --> 01:03:45,630
I don't know. I'm sorry.

992
01:03:50,591 --> 01:03:52,641
Son of a bitch.

993
01:04:47,648 --> 01:04:49,139
What the fuck.

994
01:05:35,736 --> 01:05:36,863
Hey!

995
01:05:41,862 --> 01:05:43,353
What the hell you doing?

996
01:05:49,470 --> 01:05:50,961
I can see you!

997
01:06:16,056 --> 01:06:17,422
Son of a bitch

998
01:06:20,501 --> 01:06:21,788
Son of a bitch!

999
01:06:21,902 --> 01:06:23,827
I saw him and I chased
him down the goddamned street.

1000
01:06:23,904 --> 01:06:25,908
Ok, so then you tried to shoot the guy.

1001
01:06:26,386 --> 01:06:28,117
I fired a warning shot.

1002
01:06:28,469 --> 01:06:29,915
I have a family to protect.

1003
01:06:30,030 --> 01:06:31,032
Did he try to break in?

1004
01:06:31,111 --> 01:06:34,915
No. He was at the back of my car.
He wasn't trying to steal it.

1005
01:06:35,075 --> 01:06:37,444
I don't know what the hell he was
doing but he was there.

1006
01:06:37,558 --> 01:06:40,245
See his fingerprints or some shit.

1007
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,054
He was messing with it,
I don't know what he was doing.

1008
01:06:52,613 --> 01:06:54,025
What are you doing?

1009
01:06:55,135 --> 01:06:58,028
Do you have any reason to believe
your family's in danger, Mr. Webb?

1010
01:07:01,341 --> 01:07:02,583
No.

1011
01:07:03,864 --> 01:07:05,390
No.

1012
01:07:06,587 --> 01:07:07,714
Dad!

1013
01:07:07,788 --> 01:07:08,789
What is that?

1014
01:07:09,309 --> 01:07:10,517
That's Ian.

1015
01:07:11,792 --> 01:07:13,084
You can't - put that shit down.

1016
01:07:13,153 --> 01:07:14,600
Hey dad! Dad!

1017
01:07:14,755 --> 01:07:17,630
All these people just came down and
are looking through all your shit!

1018
01:07:18,318 --> 01:07:19,890
Can I help you?

1019
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:20,883
You can't be in here.

1020
01:07:20,961 --> 01:07:22,878
- It's a crime scene.
- It's not a crime scene.

1021
01:07:23,764 --> 01:07:26,771
Excuse me, this is my house
- what are you doing?

1022
01:07:26,847 --> 01:07:28,772
Who the fuck are you?

1023
01:07:28,849 --> 01:07:31,776
Hey, will you put this down?
This is my shit! This is my house!

1024
01:07:31,852 --> 01:07:33,822
Get the fuck out!

1025
01:07:33,894 --> 01:07:35,385
Get the fuck out of here!

1026
01:07:43,103 --> 01:07:45,996
Ian, anybody comes down here,
hit them with that.

1027
01:07:56,076 --> 01:07:57,523
I see you!

1028
01:08:09,650 --> 01:08:12,172
I know you had a hard night
last night but I need to warn you...

1029
01:08:12,212 --> 01:08:14,379
before you come into work
tomorrow that the next week

1030
01:08:14,495 --> 01:08:17,341
or so is going to be rough.

1031
01:08:18,859 --> 01:08:20,989
Now Dateline thinks you lied to
them so they're coming after you.

1032
01:08:21,061 --> 01:08:23,590
And so is Nightline,

1033
01:08:23,664 --> 01:08:26,033
and every other major that
hasn't had their shot yet.

1034
01:08:28,669 --> 01:08:30,320
Well, the story's tight.

1035
01:08:30,791 --> 01:08:32,442
It's not perfect.

1036
01:08:32,513 --> 01:08:35,359
Well, Jerry put the brakes on.
I need to keep going.

1037
01:08:35,676 --> 01:08:37,680
I'm not done, Anna.

1038
01:08:37,838 --> 01:08:40,685
And I need you to protect me so
I can finish what we started.

1039
01:08:41,041 --> 01:08:43,205
It's not the story now.

1040
01:08:43,443 --> 01:08:45,209
This is about you.

1041
01:08:45,445 --> 01:08:48,209
The New York Times gave us a courtesy call.
They went into everything.

1042
01:08:48,248 --> 01:08:50,298
Every closet and corner of your life.

1043
01:08:50,370 --> 01:08:54,619
Every speeding ticket, every bar fight,
every libel suit

1044
01:08:54,695 --> 01:08:56,061
That's gossip, that's not news.

1045
01:08:56,176 --> 01:08:57,064
And now Jerry's talking
about you working out of the

1046
01:08:57,137 --> 01:08:58,709
Cupertino office for a while.

1047
01:08:58,859 --> 01:09:01,307
Jerry's out of his mind.
That's not happening.

1048
01:09:01,381 --> 01:09:03,226
Hey bud, come on in.

1049
01:09:03,464 --> 01:09:05,274
That's not a good idea.

1050
01:09:06,386 --> 01:09:07,992
Ian, go to your room.

1051
01:09:17,998 --> 01:09:19,525
What is this?

1052
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:22,004
They found out about that woman?

1053
01:09:26,286 --> 01:09:29,054
The woman in Cleveland,
at the Plain Dealer.

1054
01:09:29,129 --> 01:09:30,656
Yeah? And?

1055
01:09:32,893 --> 01:09:35,057
Why didn't you tell us the whole story?

1056
01:09:39,259 --> 01:09:41,583
What the fuck.

1057
01:09:41,862 --> 01:09:46,349
Look, who I do or what the fuck I do in my life
is not your concern, you understand that?

1058
01:09:46,426 --> 01:09:48,909
- This is between my wife and I, god -
- Excuse me.

1059
01:09:51,752 --> 01:09:55,202
It's between my wife and I,
goddammit it's not your fucking concern.

1060
01:09:56,396 --> 01:10:00,486
You can take any man's life,
put in under a microscope.

1061
01:10:00,601 --> 01:10:03,653
You can dissect it, turn a simple
man's life into a circus sideshow,

1062
01:10:03,764 --> 01:10:05,335
you know that.

1063
01:10:07,688 --> 01:10:09,293
What about the rest of me?

1064
01:10:09,610 --> 01:10:11,614
Can we focus on that?

1065
01:10:25,105 --> 01:10:26,757
Dad, what happened in Cleveland?

1066
01:10:37,117 --> 01:10:38,279
Come on.

1067
01:10:44,404 --> 01:10:47,331
There's no such thing as
a little mistake, Ian.

1068
01:10:48,368 --> 01:10:50,817
One wrong turn and you're lost.

1069
01:10:51,532 --> 01:10:54,857
- Keep turning trying to get back-
- You sound like a writer, writing.

1070
01:10:55,496 --> 01:10:58,422
I'm asking my father
what happened in Cleveland.

1071
01:11:03,864 --> 01:11:05,355
I screwed up.

1072
01:11:10,591 --> 01:11:12,082
Who was it?

1073
01:11:15,275 --> 01:11:17,120
A reporter in the newsroom.

1074
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:21,250
What was her name?

1075
01:11:23,564 --> 01:11:26,456
- Why does that matter?
- It matters to me.

1076
01:11:31,291 --> 01:11:32,863
Barbara.

1077
01:11:36,697 --> 01:11:38,463
Did you love her?

1078
01:11:39,500 --> 01:11:41,071
No.

1079
01:11:41,542 --> 01:11:43,272
Do you love mom?

1080
01:11:43,904 --> 01:11:45,829
I love your mother.

1081
01:11:46,066 --> 01:11:50,554
You, your brother, your sister,
your mother...

1082
01:11:51,712 --> 01:11:54,399
You're everything to me.
You're all I got.

1083
01:11:55,716 --> 01:11:57,766
I couldn't stand losing that.

1084
01:11:59,480 --> 01:12:01,210
What happened to her?

1085
01:12:09,650 --> 01:12:11,575
She committed suicide.

1086
01:12:18,859 --> 01:12:20,350
That's really shitty.

1087
01:12:21,021 --> 01:12:23,105
Yeah it was.

1088
01:12:23,584 --> 01:12:25,714
Is that why we left Ohio?

1089
01:12:26,306 --> 01:12:27,912
Because you ran away?

1090
01:12:28,589 --> 01:12:31,071
Yeah, we needed a fresh start.

1091
01:12:33,113 --> 01:12:35,767
God, I'm really disappointed in you.

1092
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:41,927
Mom's amazing.

1093
01:13:13,474 --> 01:13:15,956
<i>We don't have a choice, Gary.
This is the only option</i>

1094
01:13:16,116 --> 01:13:17,802
<i>on the table right now.</i>

1095
01:13:17,918 --> 01:13:19,922
<i>Good for you to get out
of the line of fire for a beat.</i>

1096
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,975
<i>You can cool off, pop out
some easy human interest stuff.</i>

1097
01:13:45,466 --> 01:13:47,276
Dad, what's in Cupertino?

1098
01:13:47,347 --> 01:13:49,272
It's the paper's bureau for losers.

1099
01:13:51,351 --> 01:13:52,878
Where I won't get in trouble.

1100
01:13:53,474 --> 01:13:54,840
Or so they think.

1101
01:13:55,836 --> 01:13:58,000
Maybe just don't go, Daddy.

1102
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:03,933
I know. But honey, Daddy's
got to go to work.

1103
01:14:04,004 --> 01:14:06,054
We've got the house to pay for
and all these school clothes.

1104
01:14:06,206 --> 01:14:08,176
You guys are growing like weeds.

1105
01:14:10,050 --> 01:14:11,382
Look after them.

1106
01:14:12,853 --> 01:14:14,379
You guys be good.

1107
01:14:16,857 --> 01:14:19,670
Photos. Your old records.

1108
01:14:20,981 --> 01:14:23,429
- Some of Christine's drawings.
- Ok.

1109
01:14:24,264 --> 01:14:25,950
That kind of thing.

1110
01:14:26,467 --> 01:14:27,879
I hate this.

1111
01:14:27,948 --> 01:14:29,439
I know.

1112
01:14:32,673 --> 01:14:34,278
I don't want to be alone.

1113
01:14:36,797 --> 01:14:38,927
I'm no good at it, you know that.

1114
01:14:41,321 --> 01:14:43,804
Maybe some time apart will be a good thing.

1115
01:14:47,568 --> 01:14:49,378
Well, it's got to be.

1116
01:14:56,657 --> 01:14:57,784
Ok.

1117
01:14:59,059 --> 01:14:59,902
I love you, daddy.

1118
01:14:59,980 --> 01:15:01,950
- Bye.
- Love you too.

1119
01:15:03,383 --> 01:15:05,274
Love you, daddy!

1120
01:15:57,478 --> 01:15:59,960
I was told that the
Police Department is having trouble

1121
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:02,363
keeping the troopers' horses healthy...

1122
01:16:04,765 --> 01:16:08,136
Yeah, I hear it was bowel trouble?

1123
01:16:09,810 --> 01:16:11,301
Constipation.

1124
01:16:26,426 --> 01:16:28,926
I have you on record as working
in Nicaragua with John Cullen

1125
01:16:28,989 --> 01:16:31,119
and Barry Reid between '81 and '85.

1126
01:16:31,191 --> 01:16:33,925
<i>Yeah, I worked with Reid,
but I don't know Cullen.</i>

1127
01:16:33,994 --> 01:16:35,998
You got any contact info for Reid?

1128
01:16:36,076 --> 01:16:38,969
<i>Last I heard he was in New Orleans.
I think he died though.</i>

1129
01:16:39,039 --> 01:16:41,488
I'd like to review your flight logs.
Names of pilots-

1130
01:16:41,562 --> 01:16:43,088
<i>I can't do that, Mr. Webb.</i>

1131
01:16:43,163 --> 01:16:44,815
Is there anyone else I can speak to?

1132
01:16:44,885 --> 01:16:47,208
<i>I don't know, maybe if you try back
in a week you can talk to my boss.</i>

1133
01:16:47,367 --> 01:16:48,859
Is Cullen residing in Lake City?

1134
01:16:48,969 --> 01:16:51,703
<i>Down in Florida maybe? Look,
I can't talk to you.</i>

1135
01:17:33,854 --> 01:17:36,382
You didn't even open the box I gave you.

1136
01:17:37,377 --> 01:17:42,628
What? Oh honey, I can't open that.

1137
01:17:43,464 --> 01:17:44,830
You can't?

1138
01:17:44,905 --> 01:17:46,636
Look, I gotta focus.

1139
01:17:46,747 --> 01:17:49,720
You understand? I gotta focus
so I can finish this thing.

1140
01:17:52,673 --> 01:17:54,244
And then what happens?

1141
01:17:55,596 --> 01:17:57,247
Then it's done.

1142
01:17:57,798 --> 01:17:59,403
And then what?

1143
01:18:02,282 --> 01:18:06,291
Then what? What? I didn't choose
what's happening here, Sue.

1144
01:18:07,447 --> 01:18:10,101
I didn't choose this.
I don't want to fucking be here in

1145
01:18:10,170 --> 01:18:13,017
this shitbox. Away from home.

1146
01:18:13,253 --> 01:18:16,260
Come on. What is this?

1147
01:18:16,617 --> 01:18:18,268
What do you mean?

1148
01:18:18,699 --> 01:18:21,831
Can't you see what this
is doing to all of us?

1149
01:18:25,105 --> 01:18:26,871
That's not fair.

1150
01:18:27,988 --> 01:18:30,471
Look, you are who you always were, Gary.

1151
01:18:31,472 --> 01:18:33,522
No regret...

1152
01:18:33,674 --> 01:18:37,159
no blame, no judgment, it's just a fact.

1153
01:18:41,642 --> 01:18:43,965
I guess it's me who's changed.

1154
01:18:49,690 --> 01:18:51,455
What are you saying?

1155
01:18:58,298 --> 01:19:00,508
- What are you saying?
- I don't know.

1156
01:19:06,987 --> 01:19:08,514
You do know.

1157
01:19:14,835 --> 01:19:16,521
Say it!

1158
01:19:20,521 --> 01:19:22,251
I don't know.

1159
01:20:12,813 --> 01:20:14,579
Don't turn on the light.

1160
01:20:19,860 --> 01:20:21,705
I'm John Cullen.

1161
01:20:24,224 --> 01:20:25,910
Do you know that name?

1162
01:20:34,875 --> 01:20:39,407
What you found here, Gary, is a monster.

1163
01:21:10,951 --> 01:21:13,639
I was recruited by the Agency...

1164
01:21:14,835 --> 01:21:16,805
out of college.

1165
01:21:18,318 --> 01:21:20,972
I knew Spanish and Law...

1166
01:21:21,642 --> 01:21:24,011
and I wanted to do good.

1167
01:21:24,444 --> 01:21:27,371
I wanted to fight some evil empire.

1168
01:21:30,130 --> 01:21:32,704
I went to Central America.

1169
01:21:33,654 --> 01:21:36,501
Made nice with radicals.

1170
01:21:38,178 --> 01:21:40,627
Slept with some of the pretty ones.

1171
01:21:42,983 --> 01:21:45,113
And turned in names.

1172
01:21:47,988 --> 01:21:53,683
Then I started noticing
that they were disappearing.

1173
01:21:55,075 --> 01:21:56,886
Permanently.

1174
01:21:57,478 --> 01:21:59,847
The people that we hunted...

1175
01:22:00,641 --> 01:22:02,691
Murdered...

1176
01:22:03,884 --> 01:22:05,490
All they had...

1177
01:22:05,646 --> 01:22:11,340
was a deep desire to reform the
government and have free elections.

1178
01:22:13,694 --> 01:22:15,824
That's it.

1179
01:22:17,257 --> 01:22:18,624
After I left the Agency,

1180
01:22:18,699 --> 01:22:21,386
I worked my way
into a major drug cartel.

1181
01:22:21,502 --> 01:22:23,506
It was early Medellin.

1182
01:22:24,745 --> 01:22:27,479
I solved logistical issues.

1183
01:22:27,988 --> 01:22:31,359
Bringing supply into the United States.

1184
01:22:32,032 --> 01:22:34,515
Paved the way, you might say...

1185
01:22:35,395 --> 01:22:39,165
as the traffic grew. And grew.

1186
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:45,288
Well someone in Washington knows what
you do and is doing nothing to stop it.

1187
01:22:45,365 --> 01:22:47,894
It's all lies and corruption, Gary.

1188
01:22:47,968 --> 01:22:51,818
You become attracted to the power,
then you become addicted to the power...

1189
01:22:51,892 --> 01:22:54,466
then you're devoured by the power.

1190
01:22:56,817 --> 01:23:01,429
Your thing and my thing,
are they connected?

1191
01:23:09,149 --> 01:23:10,801
Are they the same?

1192
01:23:18,158 --> 01:23:21,723
Yes. They are the same.

1193
01:23:28,969 --> 01:23:30,860
Danilo Blandon.

1194
01:23:36,256 --> 01:23:38,944
This is him. Yesterday.

1195
01:23:39,339 --> 01:23:41,788
This is you here. Today.

1196
01:23:42,543 --> 01:23:45,789
Nobody wants to hear your sad story,
Gary.

1197
01:23:48,068 --> 01:23:49,720
You can go on record.

1198
01:23:51,912 --> 01:23:53,962
And end up dead?

1199
01:23:55,155 --> 01:23:56,602
No.

1200
01:24:00,881 --> 01:24:02,452
Then why are you here?

1201
01:24:06,086 --> 01:24:07,452
I'm confessing.

1202
01:24:09,890 --> 01:24:11,656
Who else am I going to tell?

1203
01:24:29,309 --> 01:24:30,676
Anna?

1204
01:24:35,916 --> 01:24:37,157
Who is it?

1205
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:40,926
It's Gary

1206
01:24:48,208 --> 01:24:49,575
It's six in the morning.

1207
01:24:49,650 --> 01:24:51,301
I found him. Or he found me.

1208
01:24:51,371 --> 01:24:53,023
- Who?
- The asset.

1209
01:24:53,093 --> 01:24:55,576
It's the piece I've been missing.
The only thing I didn't have.

1210
01:24:55,656 --> 01:24:58,788
It's what you kept asking for.
So I can keep going.

1211
01:24:59,099 --> 01:25:04,031
He was a part of the operation, Anna.
You understand that? CIA.

1212
01:25:05,906 --> 01:25:08,275
Look if I can just get him to go on record,

1213
01:25:08,348 --> 01:25:09,157
he'll confirm everything.

1214
01:25:09,229 --> 01:25:11,040
He came to my goddamned motel room.

1215
01:25:11,151 --> 01:25:12,392
- I'm not finished with it.
- You gotta talk to Jerry about this.

1216
01:25:12,513 --> 01:25:13,321
Calm down.

1217
01:25:13,393 --> 01:25:14,556
I'm not finished!

1218
01:25:14,675 --> 01:25:19,048
Look, I'm trying to keep you on the payroll,
ok? I'm trying to save your career.

1219
01:25:19,159 --> 01:25:22,849
I know I'm not just gonna sit back
and be quiet and do nothing

1220
01:25:22,923 --> 01:25:24,495
so I can collect your goddamn check.

1221
01:25:24,565 --> 01:25:26,170
- I understand.
- You know that. You know me.

1222
01:25:26,246 --> 01:25:27,488
I'm gonna keep going.

1223
01:25:27,568 --> 01:25:28,900
I'm gonna finish this.

1224
01:25:28,969 --> 01:25:31,896
For you.
Or I'm gonna do it for somebody else.

1225
01:25:32,893 --> 01:25:34,134
Look, there's a staff meeting tomorrow.

1226
01:25:34,214 --> 01:25:36,504
We'll talk about it there. OK?

1227
01:25:37,177 --> 01:25:38,544
OK.

1228
01:25:40,941 --> 01:25:42,866
OK.

1229
01:26:30,110 --> 01:26:31,557
Morning, Gary.

1230
01:26:34,194 --> 01:26:36,119
I wanted to run a couple
ideas past you guys.

1231
01:26:36,196 --> 01:26:37,927
About this asset, the CIA asset.

1232
01:26:37,998 --> 01:26:39,570
Gary, have a seat.

1233
01:26:46,406 --> 01:26:47,933
- Hey Pete.
- Hey.

1234
01:26:48,929 --> 01:26:50,455
When'd you get in from Washington?

1235
01:26:50,531 --> 01:26:53,457
No easy way to say this,
Gary so I'm just going to say it.

1236
01:26:54,294 --> 01:26:57,620
We've had Pete backtrack
a few of your leads.

1237
01:26:59,379 --> 01:27:00,826
Why didn't you tell me?

1238
01:27:00,981 --> 01:27:02,792
Well I'm telling you now.

1239
01:27:03,103 --> 01:27:03,946
Pete, why didn't you say anything?

1240
01:27:04,024 --> 01:27:07,589
We didn't like some of the some of the
stuff that Pete brought back, ok?

1241
01:27:07,668 --> 01:27:09,991
Some of your sources
have changed their stories.

1242
01:27:10,070 --> 01:27:11,152
Of course they did.

1243
01:27:11,231 --> 01:27:14,796
Well, they're saying they never said
the things you have them saying.

1244
01:27:14,955 --> 01:27:17,005
Well that's how they operate, Jerry.

1245
01:27:17,117 --> 01:27:18,803
- “They"?
- The Agency.

1246
01:27:18,919 --> 01:27:20,001
They deny everything.

1247
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:22,814
Everyone who works with the CIA,
the CIA denies everything.

1248
01:27:22,923 --> 01:27:26,055
Did you ever get an actual
CIA operative on the record?

1249
01:27:26,487 --> 01:27:27,249
We never made that claim.

1250
01:27:27,327 --> 01:27:29,537
I think that's been
very clear at this point.

1251
01:27:29,650 --> 01:27:31,814
Did you not tell them about
the guy who came to my hotel room?

1252
01:27:31,932 --> 01:27:34,414
But he said he's not going
on the record, Gary.

1253
01:27:35,175 --> 01:27:37,020
- No. I think I made-
- Did you get anyone who works

1254
01:27:37,137 --> 01:27:39,507
for the CIA on the record?

1255
01:27:40,461 --> 01:27:41,463
Who is this guy?

1256
01:27:41,542 --> 01:27:42,350
Outside Counsel.

1257
01:27:42,463 --> 01:27:45,709
OK, let me catch you up
to speed here, counselor.

1258
01:27:45,826 --> 01:27:49,197
The CIA uses people who work for the CIA.

1259
01:27:49,269 --> 01:27:51,593
They also use people who work with the CIA.

1260
01:27:51,672 --> 01:27:52,481
You get the difference.

1261
01:27:52,553 --> 01:27:55,206
We don't operate in a
courtroom or in absolutes, Gary.

1262
01:27:55,275 --> 01:27:57,041
We operate in shades of grey.

1263
01:27:57,518 --> 01:27:59,522
I didn't realize truth
was a shade of grey.

1264
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:00,044
Anyone else?

1265
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:02,244
It's not what you can prove,
it's what people say they remember.

1266
01:28:02,362 --> 01:28:04,207
Your word against theirs.

1267
01:28:04,284 --> 01:28:06,858
Would have been wonderful to get a couple
of innocent people on the record.

1268
01:28:06,967 --> 01:28:09,449
Yeah, well nobody a part
of this story's innocent, Jerry.

1269
01:28:09,530 --> 01:28:11,420
You know, call Norwin Meneses.

1270
01:28:11,612 --> 01:28:13,537
He's in Managua.
He's in a prison.

1271
01:28:13,614 --> 01:28:15,299
He was happy to speak
to me when I came down...

1272
01:28:15,375 --> 01:28:17,300
He said he never spoke to you.

1273
01:28:18,819 --> 01:28:20,505
You kidding me?

1274
01:28:21,782 --> 01:28:23,627
I was in Managua for three days,
you know this-

1275
01:28:23,704 --> 01:28:25,275
I know you were in Managua.

1276
01:28:25,385 --> 01:28:27,550
He said you never got
inside the prison.

1277
01:28:27,828 --> 01:28:29,035
He said he never saw you.

1278
01:28:29,109 --> 01:28:30,875
Well there were five hundred
other people who did.

1279
01:28:30,991 --> 01:28:32,882
Yeah, but can you prove it?

1280
01:28:34,555 --> 01:28:37,597
What, you mean, like did I bring home
a t-shirt from the prison gift shop?

1281
01:28:37,638 --> 01:28:40,724
Do you have any proof you were
actually inside that prison?

1282
01:28:40,881 --> 01:28:42,088
I bribed my way in.

1283
01:28:42,162 --> 01:28:42,573
For Christ's sake.

1284
01:28:42,643 --> 01:28:45,809
It's a third world country.
What did you expect me to do?

1285
01:28:45,886 --> 01:28:46,888
What about all my notes?

1286
01:28:47,047 --> 01:28:50,020
Legally, they're just your notes.
All it means is you wrote them.

1287
01:28:50,090 --> 01:28:51,582
You could have made them up later.

1288
01:28:51,652 --> 01:28:53,257
- Fuck you.
- Easy Gary.

1289
01:28:53,373 --> 01:28:54,661
Fuck you both.

1290
01:28:54,735 --> 01:28:56,466
You questioning my ethics?

1291
01:28:56,777 --> 01:28:59,670
Thinking I'd re-engineer a goddam thing.

1292
01:29:00,060 --> 01:29:01,826
- How fucking dare you!
- Calm down.

1293
01:29:01,902 --> 01:29:05,193
What about this Swiss banker? Baier?

1294
01:29:05,385 --> 01:29:07,071
Yeah, what about him?

1295
01:29:07,147 --> 01:29:08,594
- I can't find him.
- We're going to have to

1296
01:29:08,669 --> 01:29:09,753
look a little harder then.

1297
01:29:09,830 --> 01:29:11,321
No one's heard from him, Gary.

1298
01:29:11,431 --> 01:29:14,278
This is crazy. This is nuts.

1299
01:29:14,635 --> 01:29:17,518
The CIA can't take a piss without
getting their dicks caught in their fly

1300
01:29:17,558 --> 01:29:19,267
but they're absolutely fantastic at this.

1301
01:29:19,319 --> 01:29:21,861
I mean, look at you guys.
You're looking at me like I'm crazy.

1302
01:29:21,922 --> 01:29:22,731
Like I'm lying.

1303
01:29:22,803 --> 01:29:24,489
- This is-
- That's what you're doing!

1304
01:29:24,605 --> 01:29:25,607
Nobody's saying that.

1305
01:29:25,686 --> 01:29:27,816
- This is not personal. Do not-
- How is this not personal?

1306
01:29:27,928 --> 01:29:33,144
Look, we got into this together,
so we're going to get out of it together.

1307
01:29:37,938 --> 01:29:39,988
How are we going to get out of it?

1308
01:29:40,461 --> 01:29:43,353
We are going to print an open letter...

1309
01:29:43,464 --> 01:29:44,830
saying that some mistakes were made.

1310
01:29:44,945 --> 01:29:46,472
Don't do that.
Don't do that.

1311
01:29:46,547 --> 01:29:48,597
Come on, there's a bigger
picture here, open your eyes.

1312
01:29:48,669 --> 01:29:50,434
My eyes are wide open.
Know what I see?

1313
01:29:50,511 --> 01:29:53,357
I see a bunch of people who are
worried about their reputations.

1314
01:29:53,474 --> 01:29:55,079
Terrified that the Post
or the Times aren't going to

1315
01:29:55,155 --> 01:29:57,604
pluck you from the foothills of San Jose...

1316
01:29:57,678 --> 01:29:59,408
and give you a job on the mountaintop.

1317
01:29:59,480 --> 01:30:02,726
You know Jerry, you print that letter,
you can't undo it.

1318
01:30:02,803 --> 01:30:09,135
Not ever. You become a paper that tells the
truth only when you fucking feel like it.

1319
01:30:11,131 --> 01:30:14,821
<i>Some of the heavyweights of American
journalism have examined Webb's work...</i>

1320
01:30:14,895 --> 01:30:18,027
<i>and found it reckless, often wrong.</i>

1321
01:30:18,178 --> 01:30:21,310
<i>Just this week, Webb was
pulled off the CIA story...</i>

1322
01:30:21,381 --> 01:30:23,864
<i>after his own executive
editor admitted the articles...</i>

1323
01:30:23,984 --> 01:30:27,230
<i>oversimplified the origins
of the crack epidemic.</i>

1324
01:30:27,347 --> 01:30:28,348
<i>He also wrote,</i>

1325
01:30:28,388 --> 01:30:33,035
<i>“I feel that we did not have proof
that top CIA officials knew.”</i>

1326
01:30:33,313 --> 01:30:36,719
<i>Many Americans do seem willing
to believe that their own government...</i>

1327
01:30:36,837 --> 01:30:39,001
<i>could have been involved
in drug smuggling.</i>

1328
01:30:39,159 --> 01:30:41,642
<i>Despite the criticism of
Mr. Webb's work...</i>

1329
01:30:41,722 --> 01:30:45,366
<i>he is scheduled to receive the
Bay Area Journalist of the Year Award.</i>

1330
01:30:45,486 --> 01:30:49,210
<i>Some within the organization are
debating whether he is worthy of this-</i>

1331
01:31:44,264 --> 01:31:47,032
Where the fuck's my bike?
Come on. Come on!

1332
01:31:48,669 --> 01:31:49,352
Hey, excuse me,

1333
01:31:49,429 --> 01:31:52,197
have you seen a bike that was here?
motorcycle?

1334
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:03,210
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

1335
01:32:07,488 --> 01:32:08,979
God!

1336
01:32:13,774 --> 01:32:15,345
Come on.

1337
01:32:17,778 --> 01:32:19,669
What are you looking at?

1338
01:33:23,003 --> 01:33:24,734
- He's here!
- I see his car!

1339
01:33:24,845 --> 01:33:26,177
Daddy!

1340
01:33:26,406 --> 01:33:26,532
Dad!

1341
01:33:26,607 --> 01:33:28,657
Hey munchkins!

1342
01:33:30,370 --> 01:33:31,942
How are you?
How you doing?

1343
01:33:32,012 --> 01:33:36,180
Good to see you. How you doing, kiddo?

1344
01:33:36,296 --> 01:33:37,184
What happened to your hand?

1345
01:33:37,337 --> 01:33:39,946
That's just a little scratch.
It's nothing.

1346
01:33:40,020 --> 01:33:41,386
You ever coming home?

1347
01:33:41,462 --> 01:33:42,794
Working on it kiddo, we're working on it.

1348
01:33:42,863 --> 01:33:44,309
Mom! Dad's here!

1349
01:33:44,384 --> 01:33:45,876
Hi, chicken.

1350
01:33:50,551 --> 01:33:52,395
- Hey mom.
- Look at you.

1351
01:33:52,713 --> 01:33:54,204
Come on, Christine, let's go.

1352
01:33:56,957 --> 01:33:57,958
You look beautiful.

1353
01:33:59,439 --> 01:34:01,125
I look beautiful.

1354
01:34:02,122 --> 01:34:03,124
Come in.

1355
01:34:05,405 --> 01:34:06,568
What's this?

1356
01:34:06,647 --> 01:34:10,416
It's a long story.
It's nothing. It's boring.

1357
01:34:11,652 --> 01:34:12,653
Hi.

1358
01:34:14,374 --> 01:34:15,821
How you been?

1359
01:34:16,897 --> 01:34:19,631
Really good, considering.

1360
01:34:20,861 --> 01:34:24,027
I've decided to continue
writing on my own...

1361
01:34:25,345 --> 01:34:27,076
without the paper.

1362
01:34:29,470 --> 01:34:30,357
You're resigning?

1363
01:34:30,430 --> 01:34:31,922
Yeah.

1364
01:34:34,034 --> 01:34:35,765
- Well that's good.
- Yeah.

1365
01:34:35,836 --> 01:34:40,688
I mean, you know.
Walk away. Fresh start.

1366
01:34:41,602 --> 01:34:43,652
Make room for something new.

1367
01:34:44,084 --> 01:34:45,497
Yeah.

1368
01:34:47,768 --> 01:34:50,820
Thanks for coming with me.
It means a lot.

1369
01:34:50,931 --> 01:34:52,856
Tonight's going to be a good night.

1370
01:34:53,133 --> 01:34:54,260
Journalist of the Year

1371
01:34:54,414 --> 01:34:55,941
Yeah. You ready? You look ready.

1372
01:34:56,016 --> 01:34:58,146
- You guys behave.
- Love you guys.

1373
01:34:58,258 --> 01:34:59,864
Where's Ian?

1374
01:35:04,625 --> 01:35:06,595
No way.

1375
01:35:06,827 --> 01:35:08,991
No way.

1376
01:35:10,551 --> 01:35:11,758
What?

1377
01:35:13,393 --> 01:35:15,045
What?

1378
01:35:17,718 --> 01:35:18,800
This is great!

1379
01:35:18,919 --> 01:35:19,719
Yeah.

1380
01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:22,123
Oh man. Look at her.

1381
01:35:22,242 --> 01:35:24,246
You did it! You did it! You did it!

1382
01:35:24,324 --> 01:35:25,851
Thank you.

1383
01:35:26,967 --> 01:35:28,619
I'm so proud of you.

1384
01:35:28,929 --> 01:35:31,298
- Thank you.
- I'm super proud of you.

1385
01:35:31,852 --> 01:35:35,223
All right! Yes!

1386
01:35:37,097 --> 01:35:38,145
I'll follow you.

1387
01:35:38,258 --> 01:35:40,149
Yeah, don't drive too fast.

1388
01:35:41,502 --> 01:35:43,506
- Well what?
- We'll see.

1389
01:36:19,339 --> 01:36:20,547
Unbelievable!

1390
01:36:23,023 --> 01:36:24,515
Unbelievable.

1391
01:36:24,945 --> 01:36:26,311
Congratulations.

1392
01:36:28,869 --> 01:36:30,555
Congratulations, Gary! Good job!

1393
01:36:30,631 --> 01:36:32,761
Thank you, thank you.

1394
01:36:33,794 --> 01:36:35,639
Good to see you, good to see you.

1395
01:37:32,813 --> 01:37:38,667
My first story was about a dog that
should have died, but wouldn't.

1396
01:37:42,142 --> 01:37:43,143
I was twenty-two.

1397
01:37:43,223 --> 01:37:45,991
It was a stupid little feature,
but I was proud of it.

1398
01:37:46,106 --> 01:37:48,794
I put it in a frame
and hung it on my wall.

1399
01:37:50,991 --> 01:37:54,761
And believed I joined a secret
guild of reporters that day.

1400
01:37:55,756 --> 01:37:58,079
If there was ever a believer,
it was me.

1401
01:38:00,280 --> 01:38:04,813
My last story was about a police
horse in Cupertino, California...

1402
01:38:05,926 --> 01:38:08,056
who died of constipation.

1403
01:38:10,370 --> 01:38:12,944
Actually, it's not a joke.

1404
01:38:14,134 --> 01:38:17,266
But to begin with a dog
and end with a pile of horseshit...

1405
01:38:18,819 --> 01:38:21,826
there's a kind of poetry in there,
somewhere.

1406
01:38:27,668 --> 01:38:29,911
But this, this is horseshit.

1407
01:38:30,190 --> 01:38:32,433
Me being up here.

1408
01:38:32,873 --> 01:38:36,005
Look, I know I pissed off
a lot of people over the years.

1409
01:38:36,837 --> 01:38:39,650
Many of whom are
in this room right now.

1410
01:38:42,082 --> 01:38:45,009
But I think that's what good
investigative reporting does.

1411
01:38:45,085 --> 01:38:46,691
It ruffles feathers.

1412
01:38:48,248 --> 01:38:49,900
But I was never fired.

1413
01:38:50,130 --> 01:38:52,500
And my editors never
threw me under the bus.

1414
01:38:54,214 --> 01:38:57,187
And that's because I never
wrote anything until now...

1415
01:38:58,819 --> 01:39:02,828
that really mattered to a lot of people.

1416
01:39:03,984 --> 01:39:05,795
Mattered in a scary way.

1417
01:39:10,030 --> 01:39:11,761
I'm not going to take it back.

1418
01:39:12,352 --> 01:39:16,077
Make nice to save my job.

1419
01:39:17,718 --> 01:39:19,448
Because I thought my job...

1420
01:39:26,006 --> 01:39:27,418
Sorry.

1421
01:39:34,454 --> 01:39:37,381
I thought my job was
to tell the public the truth.

1422
01:39:37,898 --> 01:39:39,868
The facts, pretty or not.

1423
01:39:39,940 --> 01:39:42,309
And let the publishing of those facts...

1424
01:39:42,382 --> 01:39:44,273
make a difference...

1425
01:39:45,866 --> 01:39:47,200
in how people look at things.

1426
01:39:47,227 --> 01:39:49,391
At themselves,
at what they stand for.

1427
01:39:50,831 --> 01:39:52,483
That's shame on me.

1428
01:39:57,918 --> 01:40:00,400
This is the only thing
I ever wanted to do.

1429
01:40:06,927 --> 01:40:08,772
And for a while...

1430
01:40:11,411 --> 01:40:13,576
a long while, it was an honor.

1431
01:40:50,130 --> 01:40:55,939
Before we say goodnight,
there's one more item of business.

1432
01:41:06,507 --> 01:41:07,839
Hey dad.

1433
01:41:11,231 --> 01:41:13,201
Hey bud.

1434
01:41:13,754 --> 01:41:15,439
You ok?

1435
01:41:16,196 --> 01:41:18,360
I'm not sure.

1436
01:41:21,161 --> 01:41:23,052
Well, I'm really proud of you.

1437
01:41:31,892 --> 01:41:33,498
Thanks bud.

1438
01:41:40,300 --> 01:41:41,827
Listen.

1439
01:41:43,624 --> 01:41:47,029
I've done a lot of things
that I'm not proud of.

1440
01:41:50,270 --> 01:41:52,434
But I've never stopped loving you.

1441
01:41:53,914 --> 01:41:55,600
Not once.

1442
01:41:58,078 --> 01:41:59,684
I know.

1443
01:42:04,885 --> 01:42:06,935
- I need some air.
- Yeah.

1444
01:42:08,969 --> 01:42:10,735
Hey dad, don't go too far.

1445
01:42:39,079 --> 01:42:43,407
<i>This town hall meeting allows the
South Central community to interact...</i>

1446
01:42:43,484 --> 01:42:45,887
...with the director of Central intelligence.

1447
01:42:45,966 --> 01:42:50,294
Please join me in welcoming CIA Director,
John Deutch.

1448
01:43:03,343 --> 01:43:06,190
How are we supposed to trust...

1449
01:43:06,266 --> 01:43:10,640
the CIA officials to investigate themselves?

1450
01:43:10,751 --> 01:43:12,596
Is Gary Webb in the house
is the first thing I want to ask?

1451
01:43:12,673 --> 01:43:14,039
Is Gary Webb in here?

1452
01:43:14,434 --> 01:43:16,684
Gary Webb is the reporter
for the San Jose Mercury News

1453
01:43:16,757 --> 01:43:18,523
who broke the story wide open.

1454
01:43:18,599 --> 01:43:23,690
Allow Gary Webb to have full access to the
Investigator General's full documentation...

1455
01:43:23,764 --> 01:43:27,739
and comparatively go through
it as the investigation goes on.

1456
01:43:55,435 --> 01:43:58,328
There's no question
in my mind there is a complicity

1457
01:43:58,398 --> 01:44:00,289
in the flow of drugs into this country.

1458
01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:04,005
<i>Same pilots, same airstrips,
same airplanes...</i>

1459
01:44:04,124 --> 01:44:09,374
<i>...carrying guns and drugs at the same time.
And people knew it.</i>

1460
01:44:09,490 --> 01:44:12,975
South Central Los Angeles and
every other city in America...

1461
01:44:13,053 --> 01:44:15,601
<i>...are owed an explanation.</i>
