This is Marty Velmano. What a pleasure!
What can I do for you?

1:58:06
We're doing a story
about Victor Mattiece...

1:58:10
...and his involvement in the deaths
of Rosenberg and Jensen.

1:58:14
Great! We'll sue you for the next 20
years. You'll be named as a defendant.

1:58:19
Oh, this will be great.
1:58:21
Victor Mattiece will own the Herald.
1:58:24
Have you heard of the Pelican Brief?
We have a copy of it.

1:58:28
We also have a copy of a memo
sent by you to Sims Wakefield...

1:58:32
...in which you suggest your client's
position would be greatly improved...

1:58:37
...by the removal of Rosenberg
and Jensen from the court.

1:58:41
I noticed you waited till five.
1:58:44
An hour earlier, we could've
run to court, stopped this.

1:58:47
You deny you wrote the memo?
1:58:52
It's a fabrication.
1:58:55
You have no lawsuit, Mr. Velmano.
1:58:58
You know it.
1:59:00
You son of a bitch!
1:59:04
Mr. Coal?
1:59:06
-Have you read the Pelican Brief?
-I have.

1:59:09
We're running a story which verifies
the facts set forth in that brief.

1:59:13
We've confirmed Mattiece
contributed over $4 million...

1:59:17
... to the President's last campaign.
1:59:19
4,200,000, all through legal channels.
1:59:21
That's right.
1:59:23
We believe the White House tried
to obstruct the FBI investigation...

1:59:27
...and we wonder
if there are any comments.

1:59:30
The White House denies
any direct or indirect involvement...

1:59:33
...in this investigation.
1:59:36
You've received some bad information.
1:59:46
Mr. Voyles, it's Grantham.
1:59:49
We're running a story
detailing a conspiracy...

1:59:52
...in the murders of
Rosenberg and Jensen.

1:59:54
We're naming Mattiece, an oil
speculator, and two of his lawyers.

1:59:59
We believe the FBI knew about Mattiece,
but didn't investigate...
