2:09:02
Created a Frankenstein
with those damn Cubans.
2:09:05
Eight words back in '72:
2:09:08
"I covered up."
2:09:10
"I was wrong."
2:09:12
"I'm sorry."
2:09:13
And the American public
would've forgiven him.
2:09:17
But we never opened
our mouths, John.
2:09:20
We failed him.
2:09:22
Dick Nixon saying "I'm sorry"?
2:09:24
Thall be the day.
2:09:26
His whole suit of armour
would fall off.
2:09:29
So, you tell Mitchell.
2:09:30
Yeah.
2:09:32
And John, you do know
that we're next, don't you?
2:09:51
You're early, John.
2:09:55
If you'd been that stealthy at the
Watergate, we wouldn't be in this mess.
2:10:00
I was sorry to hear about your wife.
Yes.
2:10:05
Take out the money.
2:10:07
The president would like to know if
that was the last payment.
2:10:10
I'll bet he would.
2:10:12
Is it?
2:10:14
In Richard Nixon's long history
of underhanded dealings...
2:10:16
...he's never had better value
for his money.
2:10:19
If I were to open my mouth,
all the dominoes would fall.
2:10:24
Can I ask you a question?
2:10:26
How the hell you have the temerity to blackmail
the president of the United States?
2:10:32
Thas not the question,
John.
2:10:34
The question is,
why is he paying?
2:10:36
To protect his people.
2:10:38
I'm one of his people.
The Cubans are his people.
2:10:41
And we're going to jail
for him.
2:10:43
Howard, you will serve no more
than two years, then he'll pardon you.
2:10:47
Maybe.
Maybe not.
2:10:51
But you don't leave your men
on the beach, John.
2:10:54
You don't make them
beg for their money like thieves.
2:10:57
You don't dump men with families
who've served their country.
