Benteen Realty,
Benteen Medical Associates...
:13:04
Gold Mine Communications,
BENagra...
:13:07
which produces the poo-poo
the Pilagers clean up...
:13:11
Bentel Stadium.
:13:12
So he's the Bentel Corporation.
:13:15
- Founder and CEO.
- Big money guy.
:13:17
- Mega.
- And a real piece ofwork.
:13:19
During the Iran-Contra thing, he sent
Oliver North's boys a set of cargo planes.
:13:24
He used blacks and Chicanos
to bust the unions in slaughterhouses...
:13:27
and then he fired half ofthem
and brought in migrants without papers.
:13:30
He's never once been hit on
by the Immigration Service.
:13:34
And he and the senator?.
:13:36
When Richard, the son,
who is fondly referred to...
:13:39
by his frat mates as "Dim Dickie"...
:13:41
sinks his inheritance into Silver City,
a ghost town with an abandoned mine...
:13:46
which turns out to be abandoned
for a good reason...
:13:49
guess who bails him out by paying six
million dollars over its original value.
:13:54
Wes Benteen.
A personal favor.
:13:56
One contributor putting up
over halfthe money for a senate run.
:14:00
- Looks kind offishy.
- Unless it comes from within the family.
:14:04
So, Dickie Pilager.
:14:07
Not a public official yet.
:14:09
Serves as a front to Benteen,
bankrolling his father's campaign.
:14:14
Benteen is in real estate.
He's in cattle.
:14:17
He's in publishing, media, mining...
:14:19
utilities, waste disposal.
:14:22
How much federal regulation
doyou thinkthat entails?.
:14:24
When Benteen wanted to end
health and safety inspections...
:14:27
at his meat processing plant,
SenatorJud led the charge.
:14:30
So he wants his own man in the governor's
mansion, someone corruptible.
:14:34
There is not a corrupt bone in Dickie
Pilager's body. He's just- What?.
:14:38
He's user-friendly.
:14:41
Wes Benteen, Chuck Raven just saywhatever
they thinkwill get them what theywant.
:14:46
Dickie Pilager is a true believer.
:14:51
These are the guys
you're working for, pal.
:14:53
I wasn't even born when most ofthis
happened, and it still pisses me off.
:14:56
It's not like I'm helping them
get elected or anything.
:14:59
You're just trying to pay
the rent like everybody else, right?.
