Remember, John,
back in '48?
1:42:03
Nobody believed Alger Hiss
was a Communist except me.
1:42:06
Well, they loved Hiss like they loved
this Ellsberg character.
1:42:09
He was their kind-
Ivy League establishment.
1:42:12
I am not,
and never have been...
1:42:14
Mr. Hiss is lying.
Mr. Hiss?
1:42:16
I was dirt to them, nothing.
And Dick kicked the shit out of'em.
1:42:21
I wouldn't have if Hiss hadn't lied
about knowing Chambers.
1:42:24
The documents were old and out of date,
just like these Pentagon papers.
1:42:28
The key thing we proved
was that Hiss was a liar.
1:42:31
Then people bought
that he was a spy.
1:42:34
Is the lie that gets you.
1:42:37
All right, Henry,
we're gonna go your way.
1:42:39
Crush this Ellsberg
same way we did Hiss.
1:42:42
There is no other choice,
Mr. President.
1:42:44
We're gonna hit him so hard, he'll look
like everything thas sick and evil...
1:42:47
...about the eastern establishment.
1:42:49
You and your plumbers, you're gonna
get all the dirt on this guy.
1:42:52
Les see him going to the bathroom
in front of the American public.
1:42:55
And when we finish with him,
they'll crucify him.
1:42:57
Then we'll get our second term.
1:43:14
The claws are out,
Frank.
1:43:17
You seen the guys?
They're around.
1:43:20
Why? You gota customer?
1:43:24
The White House.
1:43:27
You're fuckin' me.
We're gonna be plumbers, Frank.
1:43:29
We're gonna plug leaks.
1:43:32
Who are we workin' for?
A guy named Gordon Liddy.
1:43:34
He thinks he's Martin Bormann.
1:43:37
He wants to meet you.
1:43:40
Gordon Liddy,
Frank Sturgis.
1:43:43
Hey, Frank.
1:43:50
Did you see the look on
Hoover's face? He's redder than a beet.
1:43:53
That little closet fairy's
got no choice.
1:43:55
He hates McGovern and Kennedy
so much, he's gotta love me.
1:43:58
And Lyndon?
He looked old, didn't he?
