:29:02
How's that?
:29:03
It's all there in the brief.
:29:14
It's amateur stuff...
:29:16
...but how often does something make
Coal sweat and run for cover?

:29:20
He didn't exactly sweat in front of us.
:29:23
But his stone face showed
he wasn't happy.

:29:25
Did he have any symptoms?
:29:27
As I told you, the President is here
for his annual checkup.

:29:31
I wish I was in as good shape.
:29:33
Was this timed to counter the age
issue in the next election?

:29:35
Why didn't I think of that?
:29:37
He hasn't decided whether to run again.
:29:40
When will he decide?
:29:41
Do you really expect me to answer that?
:29:44
One rumor I can deny is
that he checked in to get away from you.

:29:49
Although could you blame him?
:29:52
Thank you again.
:29:55
Commander, go downstairs and tell them
I have a date for golf this afternoon.

:29:59
Yes, sir!
:30:02
It's killing the press
you're so healthy.

:30:05
Good. Now, what's so important?
:30:08
This is...
:30:09
...a brief...
:30:11
...written by an eager-beaver
law student.

:30:14
It's a theory about the assassinations.
:30:18
And indirectly...
:30:19
...it implicates the White House.
:30:23
The premise is so far-fetched
it's absurd.

:30:27
But Director Voyles, for reasons
both you and I can guess...

:30:30
...is going after it.
:30:35
Well, we....
:30:37
We can't interfere
with his investigation.

:30:40
You should ask Giminski
to have the CIA investigate.

:30:44
When we confirm that this is garbage,
you can ask Voyles to back off.

:30:49
It's domestic.
:30:52
The CIA can't go nosing around.
It's illegal.

:30:56
Technically.
