1
00:01:14,491 --> 00:01:17,869
To find something, anything . . .
2
00:01:18,036 --> 00:01:22,499
. . . a great truth ,
or a lost pair of glasses. . .
3
00:01:22,999 --> 00:01:27,378
. . .you must first believe there will be
some advantage in finding it.
4
00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:31,049
l found something a long time ago . . .
5
00:01:31,216 --> 00:01:34,844
. . . and have held on to it
for grim death ever since .
6
00:01:35,011 --> 00:01:38,014
l owe my success in life to it.
7
00:01:38,181 --> 00:01:40,642
lt put me where l am today .
8
00:01:40,809 --> 00:01:42,852
This principle:
9
00:01:44,354 --> 00:01:48,691
What you don't know won't hurt you .
10
00:01:51,861 --> 00:01:56,699
They called it idealism
in a book l read .
11
00:03:07,770 --> 00:03:10,773
Get the gun .
Get the gun . Get the gun .
12
00:03:15,153 --> 00:03:16,988
Oh , my God .
13
00:03:44,474 --> 00:03:45,892
The judge won't scare easy .
14
00:03:48,269 --> 00:03:51,397
l don't count on him scaring easy .
15
00:03:55,235 --> 00:03:57,612
You think it's beneath my dignity?
16
00:03:57,779 --> 00:03:59,530
Well , you're governor, they tell me .
17
00:03:59,697 --> 00:04:02,200
Yeah , l'm governor.
18
00:04:02,367 --> 00:04:05,536
The trouble with governors is they
think they gotta keep their dignity .
19
00:04:05,703 --> 00:04:08,414
There's nothing worth doing
a man can do to keep his dignity .
20
00:04:08,581 --> 00:04:10,124
H uman frame ain't built that way .
21
00:04:12,001 --> 00:04:14,379
When l'm not governor anymore
because l'm president. . .
22
00:04:14,545 --> 00:04:17,131
. . . l wanna meet somebody at midnight,
l'll do that then too .
23
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:20,343
Hope you leave me
to get a night's sleep .
24
00:04:20,510 --> 00:04:23,137
No , Jack, you going with me
because that's what you want.
25
00:04:23,638 --> 00:04:25,765
Yeah , you and Sugar
with me in the White House .
26
00:04:25,932 --> 00:04:28,768
l'll give Sugar a pistol range
right out there in the garden .
27
00:04:29,477 --> 00:04:32,272
Brace of Republican senators
can set up his tin cans for him .
28
00:04:32,438 --> 00:04:35,024
And l'm gonna appoint
a special member to Cabinet for you :
29
00:04:35,191 --> 00:04:38,945
Secretary to the Bedchamber
of Mr. Jack Burden .
30
00:04:39,946 --> 00:04:42,198
Somebody to keep them
telephone numbers straight. . .
31
00:04:42,365 --> 00:04:45,868
. . . and return their little pink silk
articles that get left behind .
32
00:04:47,662 --> 00:04:49,622
But we gotta do this first.
33
00:04:49,789 --> 00:04:52,875
l n the middle of the night when we
could just do it in town sometime .
34
00:04:53,042 --> 00:04:55,962
Sometime ain't never now.
35
00:04:57,463 --> 00:04:59,549
Bastard .
36
00:05:00,591 --> 00:05:01,843
Which way up there?
37
00:05:04,262 --> 00:05:07,223
Jack, tell Sugar
how to get to the house .
38
00:05:07,765 --> 00:05:10,476
lt's your people live down here .
39
00:05:27,410 --> 00:05:29,162
Suppose he don't open up?
40
00:05:30,913 --> 00:05:33,499
Make him . What l pay you for?
41
00:06:07,825 --> 00:06:09,744

Oh , you was in school , Alex.

52
00:06:36,896 --> 00:06:38,981
Not the teacher's favorite ,
l don't expect.
53
00:06:39,148 --> 00:06:41,442
No , sir, that's true .
54
00:06:41,609 --> 00:06:44,821
Willie was , though .
Still is, ain't you , Willie?
55
00:06:44,987 --> 00:06:47,323
Yeah , Willie married

56
00:06:48,408 --> 00:06:49,659
Well , you know. . .

00:06:53,371 --> 00:06:55,248
. . . in the same place as the rest.
59
00:06:55,915 --> 00:06:58,584
Now, is that right or not, Mr. Stark?
60
00:07:02,922 --> 00:07:05,007
Yeah , that's right.
61
00:07:07,927 --> 00:07:09,387

Oh , that little schoolteacher
don't like it when you drink?
65

Well , beers all around .

00:07:24,402 --> 00:07:26,446
Well , l sell beer

l don't make nobody drink them .
69
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:33,453
Well , maybe you got some
orange pop for him .
70
00:07:33,619 --> 00:07:34,871
That's what he wants.
71
00:07:36,289 --> 00:07:40,334
Yeah , l think l'd like some orange pop .
Two straws .
72
00:07:45,590 --> 00:07:47,884
Jack, get up Mason City .
73
00:07:48,050 --> 00:07:50,386
See who's this fella
who thinks he's Jesus Christ. . .
74
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,389
. . . come down off the cross to scourge
the moneychangers . . .
75
00:07:53,556 --> 00:07:56,142
. . . out of that shinplaster courthouse
they got them there .
76
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:59,061
l know who he is .
Fella with a Christmas tie . . .
77
00:07:59,228 --> 00:08:00,646
. . . pushed a school bond through .
78
00:08:01,105 --> 00:08:03,316
-You know him?
-Met him .
79
00:08:03,483 --> 00:08:05,610
Watched him drink
a bottle of orange pop once . . .
80
00:08:05,776 --> 00:08:08,946
. . .through two straws on account
of a wife who don't favor drinking .
81
00:08:09,113 --> 00:08:11,282
She favor him
staying parish treasurer?
82
00:08:11,449 --> 00:08:13,326
Don't you know
how things are run up there?
83
00:08:13,493 --> 00:08:15,745
Run up there
like they're run down here .
84
00:08:15,912 --> 00:08:20,833
Yeah? Well , you leave down here
and run on up there .
85
00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:31,761
As a commissioner, as chairman ,
l guess you're in a position . . .
86
00:08:31,928 --> 00:08:34,597
. . .to know the situation
regarding the schoolhouse contract.
87
00:08:34,764 --> 00:08:36,015
Ain't no situation .
88
00:08:36,182 --> 00:08:38,017
Maybe not, but maybe so .
89
00:08:38,184 --> 00:08:39,936
Ain't any situation .
90
00:08:40,436 --> 00:08:41,729
Board took a bid offer.
91
00:08:41,896 --> 00:08:43,981
A. J . Moore's bid , the fella's name . . .
92
00:08:44,148 --> 00:08:46,275
. . . schoolhouse gets built.
93
00:08:46,442 --> 00:08:48,778
This Moore fella's bid ,
l take it, was the lowest?
94
00:08:49,278 --> 00:08:50,988
Now, you lookie here .
95
00:08:51,155 --> 00:08:54,158
Ain't nobody tells a board
what bid to take .
96
00:08:54,325 --> 00:08:57,286
Anybody can come along
put in a little pissant bid .
97
00:08:57,453 --> 00:08:58,788
Board doesn't have to take it.
98
00:08:58,955 --> 00:09:01,082
Board takes somebody
who can do the work right.
99
00:09:01,249 --> 00:09:02,792
Ain't nothing done but legal .
100
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:05,711
Who was it
put in the little pissant bid?
101
00:09:05,878 --> 00:09:08,798
-Name of Jeffers, if l recollect.
-Jeffers Construction?
102
00:09:08,965 --> 00:09:11,759
-Yeah .
-Well , that's a real firm , a big firm .
103
00:09:12,635 --> 00:09:15,721
The board picks
who can do the work right.
104
00:09:15,888 --> 00:09:18,432
That's all l got to say .
105
00:09:19,058 --> 00:09:20,309
Don't you wanna tell mama. . .
106
00:09:20,476 --> 00:09:23,271
. . . you wanna see yourself
shining in the table? No?
107
00:09:23,437 --> 00:09:26,941
All right. l wish l could have
sold some to you .
108
00:09:27,108 --> 00:09:29,860
Be out of your way in a second here .
And no brushes , you sure?
109
00:09:30,027 --> 00:09:31,320
-l'm sure .
-All right.
110
00:09:31,487 --> 00:09:33,990
Thank you .
Thank you for your time . Bye-bye .
111
00:09:34,156 --> 00:09:35,408
Mr. Stark.
112
00:09:38,035 --> 00:09:41,914
Why , Mr. Jack Burden ,
how are you , sir?
113
00:09:42,081 --> 00:09:45,418
You know , people would think
parish treasurer paid well enough . . .
114
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:48,671
. . . a man wouldn't have to sell
household fix-it kits door-to-door.
115
00:09:48,838 --> 00:09:51,757
-People would think.
-Doesn't in Mason City .
116
00:09:51,924 --> 00:09:54,969
Well , l'm maybe not so good
at mathematics . . .
117
00:09:55,136 --> 00:09:57,346
. . . as some other parish treasurers
you may've met.
118
00:09:57,513 --> 00:09:59,640
Or too good at it.
119
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:02,893
How much they steal
on the schoolhouse contract?
120
00:10:03,060 --> 00:10:04,770
Well , let's see . . . .
121
00:10:05,354 --> 00:10:08,190
Jeffers come in $ 1 42, 000 .
122
00:10:08,357 --> 00:10:10,693
Moore , $ 1 75 , 000 .
123
00:10:10,860 --> 00:10:14,989
That's $33 , 000 split six ways,
5500 per commissioner.
124
00:10:15,156 --> 00:10:19,368
They done it so plain and pretty , well ,
you'd almost have to admire them .
125
00:10:19,535 --> 00:10:22,204
J ust point out Jeffers
uses nigra laborers . . .
126
00:10:22,371 --> 00:10:25,207
. . . skilled men , you know?
127
00:10:25,374 --> 00:10:29,086
Next thing , it's, "Lookie here , nigras
making more money than you men .
128
00:10:29,253 --> 00:10:31,213
Pushing wheelbarrows ,
hauling dirt. "
129
00:10:32,173 --> 00:10:35,676
And that's it. "Goodbye , Mr. Jeffers
and your low bid .
130
00:10:35,843 --> 00:10:38,721
You go build your nigra schoolhouse
somewhere else . "
131
00:10:38,888 --> 00:10:41,807
Not that you didn't try and get people
to see what was going on .
132
00:10:41,974 --> 00:10:46,395
Oh , l yelled so long and loud about
these old boys lining they pockets . . .
133
00:10:46,562 --> 00:10:48,898
. . . l'm lucky to have
any job in Mason City:
134
00:10:49,065 --> 00:10:51,150
Government, door-to-door,
or any other variety .
135
00:10:51,317 --> 00:10:53,152
l stood out there
on that street corner. . .
136
00:10:53,319 --> 00:10:55,321
. . . pencil in one hand ,
paper in the other. . .
137
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:57,490
. . .trying to show people
the numbers .
138
00:10:57,657 --> 00:11:00,368
But you stop people out there
in that hot sun . . .
139
00:11:00,534 --> 00:11:02,745
. . .try to show them arithmetic. . .
140
00:11:02,912 --> 00:11:05,081
. . .well , they can't see it so clear. . .
141
00:11:05,247 --> 00:11:08,626
. . .through the sweat pouring in they
own eyes from they own hard labor.
142
00:11:08,793 --> 00:11:11,629
Especially if you put nigras
in the equation .
143
00:11:11,796 --> 00:11:14,632
-Why , you're likely to get beat up .
-Likely?
144
00:11:14,799 --> 00:11:16,926
Once or twice .
145
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,178
You gonna run again in November?
146
00:11:19,345 --> 00:11:24,183
No , l'm done . A lame duck. Lucy too .
They got her fired from teaching .
147
00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:28,187
And l don't care . l don't want to teach
there just so they can steal money .
148
00:11:28,354 --> 00:11:31,774
That's right. You're looking at your
own private two-person leper colony .
149
00:11:31,941 --> 00:11:33,609
Sipping pop .
150
00:11:34,193 --> 00:11:36,112
So , what are you gonna do , then?
151
00:11:36,278 --> 00:11:41,450
l don't know. String my pa a fence ,
slop some pigs , milk some cows .
152
00:11:44,912 --> 00:11:49,083
l'm gonna keep the faith , Mr. Burden ,
that's what l'm gonna do .
153
00:11:49,625 --> 00:11:53,879
l'm gonna keep the faith
in the people , because you know why?
154
00:11:55,673 --> 00:11:57,800
Time . . .
155
00:11:57,967 --> 00:12:01,345
. . . brings all things to light.
156
00:12:01,971 --> 00:12:04,348
l trust it's so .
157
00:12:38,174 --> 00:12:39,550
Joe .
158
00:12:39,717 --> 00:12:41,761
Did you get a photograph of him?
159
00:12:41,927 --> 00:12:43,429
Who?
160
00:12:46,682 --> 00:12:49,185
The next mayor of this town .
161
00:13:00,821 --> 00:13:03,365
You know what people are saying?
162
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,827
People are saying
that God himself had a hand . . .
163
00:13:06,994 --> 00:13:09,997
. . . in this schoolhouse business .
164
00:13:10,164 --> 00:13:14,877
That God stepped in
on Willie Stark's side .
165
00:13:15,419 --> 00:13:19,924
Yes , sir. He does work
in mysterious ways sometimes .
166
00:13:20,090 --> 00:13:22,009
Sometimes. . .
167
00:13:22,176 --> 00:13:25,012
. . . he has somebody else do it.
168
00:13:25,179 --> 00:13:30,059
Sends over a fat man in a striped suit
with a big car to do his will .
169
00:13:30,226 --> 00:13:33,646
Well , l have had
some worse employers , l admit that.
170
00:13:34,772 --> 00:13:36,607
What you want?
171
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:40,069
Well , l wanna work for you ,
Mr. Stark.
172
00:13:40,236 --> 00:13:43,656
And you wanna work for the people ,
unless l been misinformed .
173
00:13:43,823 --> 00:13:46,075
People vote me ,
l'd be privileged to serve them .
174
00:13:46,242 --> 00:13:50,246
-What, as the county treasurer?
-Yes , sir.
175
00:13:51,789 --> 00:13:54,291
Mr. Stark, you could run
for mayor of Mason City . . .
176
00:13:54,458 --> 00:13:58,003
. . . and you could win without climbing
out of bed in the morning .
177
00:13:58,170 --> 00:13:59,922
You just put the word out. . .
178
00:14:00,339 --> 00:14:04,218
. . . about Willie Stark, who tried to take
on the crooks single-handed . . .
179
00:14:04,385 --> 00:14:06,720
. . .Willie Stark,
who tried to warn us . . .
180
00:14:06,887 --> 00:14:11,684
. . . Willie Stark, who could have saved
our kids if we'd have just listened .
181
00:14:12,601 --> 00:14:18,107
Now, l'm not talking about Willie Stark
for the mayor of Mason City . No , sir.
182
00:14:18,274 --> 00:14:20,776
l'm talking about Willie Stark. . .
183
00:14:20,943 --> 00:14:25,781
. . . as the next governor
of the great state of Louisiana.
184
00:14:27,449 --> 00:14:30,953
Now, you saw a man
holding out a handful of cash to you . . .
185
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,997
. . . and you said no .
186
00:14:33,163 --> 00:14:34,790
This is what l see .
187
00:14:34,957 --> 00:14:37,418
l see a man in a booth . . .
188
00:14:37,585 --> 00:14:40,504
. . . looking down at a ballot,
a working man .
189
00:14:40,671 --> 00:14:45,801
And he sees three names there:
Harrison , MacMurphy and Stark.
190
00:14:46,218 --> 00:14:47,970
Now, what this man really sees . . .
191
00:14:48,137 --> 00:14:51,098
. . . is that picture in the newspaper
of them three little coffins . . .
192
00:14:51,515 --> 00:14:54,643
. . . and the one man since
the great Governor Stanton died . . .
193
00:14:54,810 --> 00:14:58,439
. . .that had the guts to buck the powers
that killed them .
194
00:14:59,732 --> 00:15:02,026
Now, that man , that voting man ,
he's got a pencil . . .
195
00:15:02,192 --> 00:15:04,320
. . . he checks a box,
you wake up governor.
196
00:15:04,695 --> 00:15:07,323
And that little lady lying
beside you . . .
197
00:15:07,489 --> 00:15:11,785
. . .the one that don't favor liquor. . .
198
00:15:12,202 --> 00:15:15,122
. . . she wakes up the governor's wife .
199
00:15:20,252 --> 00:15:21,837
That's what l see .
200
00:15:23,297 --> 00:15:27,593
Now, why don't you take a minute
with your orange pop . . .
201
00:15:29,053 --> 00:15:31,347
. . . see if you can't see it too . . .
202
00:15:32,973 --> 00:15:34,683
. . . governor.
203
00:16:04,338 --> 00:16:06,173
You got your speech?
204
00:16:06,382 --> 00:16:08,133
All right.
205
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,597
Willie Stark !
206
00:16:19,061 --> 00:16:20,938
Thank you , folks.
207
00:16:22,856 --> 00:16:24,400
Thank you kindly .
208
00:16:26,235 --> 00:16:28,570
My name's Willie Stark
from Mason City yonder. . .
209
00:16:30,030 --> 00:16:33,575
. . . and l'm pleased to have a chance
to talk with you all here today .
210
00:16:33,742 --> 00:16:35,744
Now, friends . . .
211
00:16:36,578 --> 00:16:40,290
. . .what l wanna talk about is
something that's been troubling me .
212
00:16:40,457 --> 00:16:43,252
-Coffee , please .
-Yes , ma'am .
213
00:16:47,589 --> 00:16:49,883
Can l sit with you?
214
00:16:50,050 --> 00:16:51,593
Or anything else .
215
00:16:52,928 --> 00:16:54,596
No , thanks .
216
00:16:55,264 --> 00:16:58,267
-You don't like my looks?
-l don't care about anybody's looks . . .
217
00:16:58,434 --> 00:17:00,436
. . . but l can't recall
ever going for anyone . . .
218
00:17:00,602 --> 00:17:03,147
. . .who reminds me
of a box of spilled spaghetti .
219
00:17:03,689 --> 00:17:06,859
Miss Burke , l'm sitting here
having a cup of coffee .
220
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:09,319
l'm almost through ,
then you couldn't sit with me . . .
221
00:17:09,486 --> 00:17:12,448
- . . .which is what you asked for.
-Sorry .
222
00:17:15,325 --> 00:17:17,077
Not working
for Sen-Sen Puckett anymore .
223
00:17:17,619 --> 00:17:20,789
-Now, he wasn't a bad-looking fellow.
-Heel .
224
00:17:20,956 --> 00:17:23,208
Well , sure , politically and elsewise .
225
00:17:23,375 --> 00:17:25,210
Who didn't know that?
226
00:17:25,377 --> 00:17:27,629
l guess l'm slower on some things
than others .
227
00:17:27,796 --> 00:17:29,673
-Like you .
-Am l?
228
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,967
-l think so .
-l think not.
229
00:17:32,134 --> 00:17:33,427
Not on this charade .
230
00:17:34,845 --> 00:17:37,473
That's the topic of the interview.
231
00:17:37,639 --> 00:17:40,392
Then tell me , if you're so smart.
232
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:44,438
All right. Harrison's a city man ,
MacMurphy's a cracker.
233
00:17:44,605 --> 00:17:47,399
Not a cracker precisely ,
but enough of one to worry Harrison . . .
234
00:17:47,566 --> 00:17:48,942
. . .that crackers won't know
the difference .
235
00:17:49,109 --> 00:17:52,654
So Harrison looks for someone
to split the cracker vote .
236
00:17:52,821 --> 00:17:55,532
Hears about an honest man
up in Crackerville . . .
237
00:17:55,699 --> 00:17:58,160
. . .where some cracker kids go down
with a fire escape . . .
238
00:17:58,327 --> 00:18:01,205
. . .that was supposed to be stuck with
more than spit to their schooIhouse .
239
00:18:01,371 --> 00:18:03,999
Sends his man Tiny Duffy up there
to romance him . . .
240
00:18:04,166 --> 00:18:07,461
. . . and then Sadie Burke
to romance him some more .
241
00:18:07,628 --> 00:18:09,254
Both telling him how good he is. . .
242
00:18:09,421 --> 00:18:12,800
. . . how he has better than a chance
in hell to change things in this state . . .
243
00:18:12,966 --> 00:18:14,510
. . .where nothing will ever change .
244
00:18:14,676 --> 00:18:16,512
Because you and Tiny
and the rest of them . . .
245
00:18:16,678 --> 00:18:19,807
. . . don't care how much of a fool
you make a man .
246
00:18:19,973 --> 00:18:22,309
And you do care , l suppose?
247
00:18:22,476 --> 00:18:24,686
l didn't say that. l don't care .
248
00:18:24,853 --> 00:18:27,856
lf l did , l'd do something about it,
wouldn't l?
249
00:18:28,023 --> 00:18:31,151
No , l'd rather watch from here .
250
00:18:32,361 --> 00:18:34,988
Like passing a car crash .
251
00:18:35,531 --> 00:18:38,450
l know you all can't see this
from all the way back there . . .
252
00:18:38,617 --> 00:18:41,370
. . . but l've got a pie chart
representing it.
253
00:18:41,703 --> 00:18:45,290
And you can see here where
public welfare and hospitals end up .
254
00:19:02,015 --> 00:19:05,769
They should be the same .
255
00:19:06,395 --> 00:19:09,398
Rather, the ratio . . . .
256
00:19:27,416 --> 00:19:29,418
We should go .
257
00:19:30,586 --> 00:19:32,421
Not yet.
258
00:19:32,588 --> 00:19:34,631
Let's go in again .
259
00:19:48,312 --> 00:19:50,105
You don't wanna swim?
260
00:20:09,124 --> 00:20:11,627
How you think we doing?
261
00:20:12,544 --> 00:20:13,962
Fine , l guess .
262
00:20:15,172 --> 00:20:16,423
You think?
263
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:19,509
That how you reporting it?
264
00:20:19,968 --> 00:20:21,261
Sure .
265
00:20:22,804 --> 00:20:27,726
Seems to me they listen less and less
the further l get from home .
266
00:20:27,893 --> 00:20:30,562
Well , that makes sense ,
don't you think?
267
00:20:34,358 --> 00:20:36,068
Maybe . . .
268
00:20:37,569 --> 00:20:39,112
. . . you trying to say too much .
269
00:20:40,906 --> 00:20:42,824
l'm telling them
what they need to know:
270
00:20:42,991 --> 00:20:44,701
Taxes , wages , highways .
271
00:20:44,868 --> 00:20:46,662
Well , maybe it's how
you're telling them .
272
00:20:46,828 --> 00:20:49,665
Maybe if you told them
the way you tell Lucy or Tiny or me . . .
273
00:20:49,831 --> 00:20:52,000
. . . or anyone face to face ,
they'd listen better.
274
00:20:52,501 --> 00:20:53,919
l don't know how that is .
275
00:20:54,086 --> 00:20:56,338
Hard to know how you sound
to somebody else .
276
00:20:56,505 --> 00:20:59,800
Mad , fed up , like you mean business
is how you sound .
277
00:20:59,967 --> 00:21:02,135
But not on the platform .
You climb three steps . . .
278
00:21:02,302 --> 00:21:06,390
. . . you sound like the rest of them . Like
a man who wants to win an election .
279
00:21:09,685 --> 00:21:11,645
Willie . . . .
280
00:21:12,771 --> 00:21:14,356
Yeah?
281
00:21:15,399 --> 00:21:16,650
What?
282
00:21:20,821 --> 00:21:22,364
Nothing .
283
00:21:23,532 --> 00:21:27,244
Well , a man don't have to be governor.
284
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:30,539
l don't deny wanting it.
285
00:21:30,706 --> 00:21:34,918
l won't lie to you ,
l lie awake wanting it.
286
00:21:35,085 --> 00:21:39,756
But sometimes a man
can want something so bad . . .
287
00:21:40,132 --> 00:21:43,135
. . . be so full of want. . .
288
00:21:44,219 --> 00:21:48,557
. . . he plain forget what it is he want.
289
00:21:50,767 --> 00:21:53,478
l could have been a good governor.
290
00:21:53,729 --> 00:21:56,773
A lot better than them other fellas .
291
00:21:59,901 --> 00:22:02,738
But l ain't gonna be governor.
292
00:22:09,036 --> 00:22:10,245
H i .
293
00:22:10,412 --> 00:22:12,414
Come on in . Why not?
294
00:22:13,248 --> 00:22:15,584
Oh , Mr. Stark.
295
00:22:17,627 --> 00:22:19,087
Sadie .
296
00:22:22,883 --> 00:22:24,176
What's up?
297
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:27,220
Willie here was just telling me
how he's not gonna be governor.
298
00:22:29,181 --> 00:22:30,432
You told him?
299
00:22:33,935 --> 00:22:36,521
No , l didn't, as a matter of fact, no .
300
00:22:39,107 --> 00:22:40,734
Told me what?
301
00:22:46,073 --> 00:22:49,701
Told me what?
302
00:23:01,838 --> 00:23:04,925
Oh , yeah , well , that makes sense .
303
00:23:05,092 --> 00:23:07,177
l see .
304
00:23:10,806 --> 00:23:13,809
So that's true? l'm being used .
305
00:23:13,975 --> 00:23:16,269
So they tell me .
306
00:23:17,771 --> 00:23:21,983
l saw it in his eyes the first time
he come to see me , Tiny .
307
00:23:23,276 --> 00:23:26,488
But l just pushed it out of my head .
308
00:23:27,989 --> 00:23:30,534
Pushed it clean out.
309
00:23:34,204 --> 00:23:35,956
l should've known better.
310
00:24:00,689 --> 00:24:02,774
Mr. Stark?
311
00:24:03,275 --> 00:24:04,526
Mr. Stark?
312
00:24:14,870 --> 00:24:17,956
You thought you were the little
white lamb of God , didn't you?
313
00:24:19,082 --> 00:24:23,211
J ust waiting for the chance to stand
on your hind legs and make a speech .
314
00:24:24,796 --> 00:24:28,383
They would have paid you
to play the part. They pay me .
315
00:24:28,633 --> 00:24:31,720
But you were too stupid
to see even that.
316
00:24:32,387 --> 00:24:34,598
You did it for free .
317
00:24:36,433 --> 00:24:41,313
You're just their dumb sacrificial sap
and l'm . . . .
318
00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:49,070
l'm sorry l let them .
319
00:25:13,053 --> 00:25:16,264
Your stomachaches , your colics ,
your bloats , your diarrhea.
320
00:25:30,237 --> 00:25:32,239
You're looking a little peaked .
321
00:25:33,740 --> 00:25:35,784
l can't imagine .
322
00:25:35,951 --> 00:25:37,619
Slept like a baby .
323
00:25:39,996 --> 00:25:41,289
Got your speech?
324
00:25:44,167 --> 00:25:46,545
All right, then . Let's go . lt's time .
325
00:25:47,671 --> 00:25:49,965
"Hail ! Hail ! The Gang's All Here . "
326
00:25:51,299 --> 00:25:52,634
What?
327
00:25:53,134 --> 00:25:55,053
The song .
328
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,141
Yeah . That's what it is.
329
00:26:25,709 --> 00:26:27,752
Hello . Hello .
330
00:26:28,253 --> 00:26:30,130
How are you?
331
00:26:30,297 --> 00:26:33,258
Here's that speech
you was just asking about.
332
00:26:36,011 --> 00:26:40,432
My name is Willie Stark
from Mason City yonder.
333
00:26:41,558 --> 00:26:43,018
l had a speech . . .
334
00:26:43,435 --> 00:26:46,104
. . . about this state and what it needs .
335
00:26:46,980 --> 00:26:49,691
There's no use in me telling you
about it, you are the state .
336
00:26:49,858 --> 00:26:51,693
You know what you need .
337
00:26:51,860 --> 00:26:54,988
Look at the knees of your pants .
338
00:26:55,447 --> 00:26:57,616
Look at your crops .
339
00:26:57,782 --> 00:26:59,117
Look at your kids .
340
00:26:59,284 --> 00:27:02,287
You got holes and rot. . .
341
00:27:02,454 --> 00:27:05,624
. . . and ignorant offspring
on account of this state .
342
00:27:07,292 --> 00:27:11,004
Well , l had a speech ,
but l ain't got it no more .
343
00:27:11,171 --> 00:27:14,716
Mr. Duffy got it now
in his fat little hands .
344
00:27:14,883 --> 00:27:16,092
Don't you , Tiny?
345
00:27:16,259 --> 00:27:19,638
Go ahead , show the people .
Hold it up .
346
00:27:21,348 --> 00:27:24,017
Well , since he got it. . .
347
00:27:24,184 --> 00:27:26,728
. . . l'm gonna have to say
something else .
348
00:27:27,354 --> 00:27:29,397
lt's all right.
349
00:27:29,898 --> 00:27:32,901
Because l got something else
to say .
350
00:27:33,401 --> 00:27:37,697
l got a story about a redneck hick.
351
00:27:37,864 --> 00:27:40,241
He's like yourselves , if you please .
352
00:27:40,742 --> 00:27:46,122
Well , this fella, a while back,
this hick. . .
353
00:27:47,082 --> 00:27:50,543
. . . started thinking about
all the other hicks . . .
354
00:27:50,710 --> 00:27:53,088
. . .what he could do for them .
355
00:27:54,214 --> 00:27:56,174
Well , one day . . .
356
00:27:56,341 --> 00:28:01,262
. . . it came down
with the powerful force . . .
357
00:28:01,429 --> 00:28:04,099
. . . of God's own hand . . .
358
00:28:04,683 --> 00:28:09,229
. . .when the only brick schoolhouse
ever built in his parish . . .
359
00:28:09,396 --> 00:28:14,859
. . . collapsed on account of it was built
with politics-rotted brick.
360
00:28:15,026 --> 00:28:20,782
And it killed and mangled
a batch of poor, young scholars .
361
00:28:22,659 --> 00:28:25,161
Oh , you know this story .
362
00:28:25,328 --> 00:28:27,038
You heard it.
363
00:28:27,205 --> 00:28:29,624
He fought the politics
that built that schoolhouse . . .
364
00:28:29,791 --> 00:28:32,085
. . .with rotten brick and bolts .
365
00:28:33,586 --> 00:28:35,463
But he lost.
366
00:28:35,630 --> 00:28:37,382
He lost.
367
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:39,759
And it fell .
368
00:28:40,260 --> 00:28:41,469
lt fell .
369
00:28:43,930 --> 00:28:47,100
Well , it wasn't long . . .
370
00:28:47,267 --> 00:28:51,980
. . . before some public officials
from the city . . .
371
00:28:52,147 --> 00:28:55,108
. . . rode out in their big fine car. . .
372
00:28:55,275 --> 00:29:00,321
. . . and told this hick how they
wanted him to run for governor.
373
00:29:01,281 --> 00:29:03,658
Them in them striped pants,
they told me . . .
374
00:29:03,825 --> 00:29:06,661
. . . MacMurphy was a limberback. . .
375
00:29:06,828 --> 00:29:10,999
. . . Joe Harrison , he was just a tool
of the city machine .
376
00:29:11,166 --> 00:29:16,504
And they wanted this nobody ,
do-gooder hick. . .
377
00:29:16,671 --> 00:29:18,798
. . .to step in ,
give them some honest government.
378
00:29:18,965 --> 00:29:20,759
You know who they were?
379
00:29:21,843 --> 00:29:24,053
l n that big fine car?
380
00:29:27,891 --> 00:29:32,020
They was Joe Harrison's
own lickspittles . . .
381
00:29:32,187 --> 00:29:35,523
. . . coming in to split MacMurphy's
hick vote !
382
00:29:35,690 --> 00:29:38,193
That's right! Your hick vote !
383
00:29:38,359 --> 00:29:40,278
There he is !
384
00:29:40,445 --> 00:29:41,696
There he is right there .
385
00:29:41,863 --> 00:29:47,619
There's the J udas lscariot lickspittle
nose-wiper from the city , right there.
386
00:29:47,786 --> 00:29:51,456
Come on , Tiny . Look at him .
Joe Harrison's dummy .
387
00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:54,709
Come on , take a bow. Come on . No ,
come on now, people wanna see you .
388
00:29:54,876 --> 00:29:57,879
Take a bow, come on .
There he goes .
389
00:29:58,546 --> 00:30:01,216
No ! No , let him lie ! Let him lie !
390
00:30:01,382 --> 00:30:04,552
Let that hog lie in his own filth !
391
00:30:04,719 --> 00:30:07,180
Let him lie ,
but listen to me , you hicks .
392
00:30:07,347 --> 00:30:10,975
That's right, l'm not the only one here .
You hicks too .
393
00:30:11,142 --> 00:30:15,855
They fooled you , too , just like
they fooled me a thousand times .
394
00:30:16,022 --> 00:30:18,566
But it's time l fooled somebody .
395
00:30:18,733 --> 00:30:21,236
lt's time l fooled them .
396
00:30:21,402 --> 00:30:25,240
Them big-city , striped-pants lickspittle
hick-haters .
397
00:30:25,406 --> 00:30:28,243
l'm running for governor on my own .
398
00:30:28,409 --> 00:30:32,747
l'm coming for them
and l'm coming for blood !
399
00:30:38,503 --> 00:30:40,713
First thing l'm gonna do
is build me a road out. . .
400
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,759
. . . across the swamps and alligators
and anything else that gets in my way .
401
00:30:44,926 --> 00:30:47,804
A thousand miles of concrete ,
if that's what it takes . . .
402
00:30:47,971 --> 00:30:51,850
. . . so l can come out here and visit with
my fellow hicks on a regular basis .
403
00:30:52,016 --> 00:30:55,103
Then l'm gonna build me a bridge
across that mighty Mississippi .
404
00:30:55,270 --> 00:30:58,064
Name it after myself
because l'm the one who built it.
405
00:30:58,231 --> 00:31:00,275
Then l'm gonna build you all
new schools .
406
00:31:00,441 --> 00:31:04,237
Send your kids home with free tablets
and pencils and books . . .
407
00:31:04,404 --> 00:31:08,283
. . .to study and learn on the way
to the new university l'm gonna build . . .
408
00:31:08,449 --> 00:31:11,119
. . .where every one of them can go .
409
00:31:11,286 --> 00:31:12,871
Same as rich folks' kids.
410
00:31:13,496 --> 00:31:17,125
Now, l hope you're listening ,
you hicks .
411
00:31:17,292 --> 00:31:20,962
Because l don't wanna drive
all the way back home . . .
412
00:31:21,129 --> 00:31:24,966
. . .just to drive back out here
next week to tell you again .
413
00:31:25,133 --> 00:31:26,467
And this is it:
414
00:31:28,261 --> 00:31:30,722
lf you don't vote . . .
415
00:31:30,889 --> 00:31:33,141
. . . you don't matter.
You don't matter!
416
00:31:33,308 --> 00:31:35,059
You don't matter!
417
00:31:35,226 --> 00:31:38,438
And then you're just as ignorant
as them in the city say you are . . .
418
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,607
. . .while they stealing food
off your table . . .
419
00:31:40,773 --> 00:31:43,276
. . . and every nickel out your pocket,
saying , "Thank you . "
420
00:31:43,443 --> 00:31:48,615
Because then you are just a bunch
of ignorant hicks who got nothing . . .
421
00:31:48,781 --> 00:31:50,783
. . . because you deserve nothing .
422
00:31:51,159 --> 00:31:52,911
So listen to me .
423
00:31:53,077 --> 00:31:54,662
Listen here .
424
00:31:54,829 --> 00:31:56,456
Lift your eyes . . .
425
00:31:56,623 --> 00:32:01,419
. . . and look on the God's blessed
and unflyblown truth :
426
00:32:01,586 --> 00:32:07,008
You are a hick and ain't nobody
never helped a hick but a hick hisself.
427
00:32:07,175 --> 00:32:12,180
lt's up to you
to nail these parasites up .
428
00:32:12,347 --> 00:32:16,601
-U p to you and me and God .
-Amen !
429
00:32:16,768 --> 00:32:20,021
-Nail up Joe Harrison !
-Nail him up !
430
00:32:20,188 --> 00:32:22,899
-Nail up MacMurphy !
-Nail him up !
431
00:32:23,066 --> 00:32:26,319
And nail up any bastard
that gets between you . . .
432
00:32:26,486 --> 00:32:28,696
. . . and the roads and the bridges
and schools . . .
433
00:32:28,863 --> 00:32:30,365
. . . and the food you need .
434
00:32:30,531 --> 00:32:32,951
You give me the hammer
and l'll do it.
435
00:32:33,117 --> 00:32:35,703
l'll nail their hides to the barn door.
436
00:32:35,870 --> 00:32:37,705
-Nail them up !
-Nail them up !
437
00:32:37,872 --> 00:32:39,540
-Nail them up !
-Nail them up !
438
00:32:39,707 --> 00:32:41,376
-Nail them up !
-Nail them up !
439
00:32:41,542 --> 00:32:43,378
-Nail them up !
-Nail them up !
440
00:32:43,544 --> 00:32:45,296
-Nail them up !
-Nail them up !
441
00:32:45,463 --> 00:32:47,215
-Nail them up !
-Nail them up !
442
00:32:47,382 --> 00:32:49,133
-Nail them up !
-Nail them up !
443
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:50,969
-Nail them up !
-Nail them up !
444
00:32:51,135 --> 00:32:52,887
-Nail them up !
-Nail them up !
445
00:32:53,054 --> 00:32:54,639
-Nail them up !
-Nail them up !
446
00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:56,641
-Nail them up !
-Nail them up !
447
00:32:56,808 --> 00:32:58,476
-Nail them up !
-Nail them up !
448
00:33:27,588 --> 00:33:29,716
More about Stark?
449
00:33:29,882 --> 00:33:31,968
He's colorful . Makes it easy .
450
00:33:32,135 --> 00:33:35,096
You know me ,
always looking for easy .
451
00:33:46,941 --> 00:33:50,278
Jack. You know what
The Chronicle line is on the election .
452
00:33:50,611 --> 00:33:54,699
Sure . MacMurphy again because of his
brilliant record as an administrator. . .
453
00:33:54,866 --> 00:33:57,118
. . . and high integrity as a statesman .
454
00:33:57,285 --> 00:34:01,122
Why can't you put that in your column ,
a little less of Stark's raving madness?
455
00:34:05,668 --> 00:34:08,379
Listen , Jack.
l know Stark's a friend of yours but--
456
00:34:08,546 --> 00:34:11,507
He's not a friend of mine . Personally ,
l don't care who's governor.
457
00:34:11,674 --> 00:34:13,593
Are you telling me what to write ,
or am l mistaken?
458
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,596
-You know The Chronicle line .
-All right.
459
00:34:18,264 --> 00:34:21,059
What do you mean , "All right"?
460
00:34:25,646 --> 00:34:27,940
l mean it the way l said it.
461
00:34:39,494 --> 00:34:43,247
l , Willie Stark, do solemnly swear. . .
462
00:34:43,414 --> 00:34:47,835
. . .that l will support the constitution
and laws of the state of Louisiana.
463
00:34:48,002 --> 00:34:51,422
Willie didn't need me
to get himself elected .
464
00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:53,633
He won by a landslide .
465
00:34:54,258 --> 00:34:57,804
By the biggest margin in the history
of the state .
466
00:34:57,970 --> 00:35:02,183
--all the duties incumbent upon me
as governor so help me God .
467
00:35:02,975 --> 00:35:05,394
Which isn't to say
everyone voted for him .
468
00:35:05,561 --> 00:35:07,647
Jack, get up Mason City .
469
00:35:07,814 --> 00:35:09,398
My editor didn't vote for him .
470
00:35:09,565 --> 00:35:12,026
--thinks he's Jesus Christ
come down off the cross . . . .
471
00:35:13,569 --> 00:35:15,696
The publisher of this paper
didn't vote for him .
472
00:35:17,156 --> 00:35:20,493
These men didn't vote for him .
473
00:35:21,869 --> 00:35:23,621
Or these .
474
00:35:23,788 --> 00:35:26,749
The governor's education bill
does not pass .
475
00:35:26,916 --> 00:35:32,046
Or the old boys in the Senate who
were in the pockets of the oilmen .
476
00:35:37,009 --> 00:35:39,720
My mother didn't vote for him .
477
00:35:42,056 --> 00:35:44,767
This is my mother.
478
00:35:45,893 --> 00:35:48,229
She doesn't vote .
479
00:35:49,814 --> 00:35:54,527
Over there , on her dressing table . . .
480
00:35:54,694 --> 00:35:57,405
. . .that's her with her first husband .
481
00:35:57,572 --> 00:36:01,701
First of four, if l recollect.
482
00:36:01,868 --> 00:36:06,622
And that's my godfather on the right,
the best man .
483
00:36:06,789 --> 00:36:09,584
He didn't vote for Willie either.
484
00:36:10,293 --> 00:36:11,752
ln fact. . .
485
00:36:11,919 --> 00:36:16,215
. . . l think it's safe to say nobody from
where l'm from voted for Willie Stark.
486
00:36:17,091 --> 00:36:19,594
And why should they?
487
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,596
His promises to the poor. . .
488
00:36:21,762 --> 00:36:23,848
. . .to build roads and bridges
and schools. . .
489
00:36:24,307 --> 00:36:27,768
. . .were a declaration of war
on the rich .
490
00:36:30,354 --> 00:36:32,565
They wanted him out.
491
00:36:47,121 --> 00:36:48,456
You Jack Burden?
492
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:55,796
l've come at the behest of the boss .
493
00:36:56,130 --> 00:36:57,465
Who?
494
00:36:57,632 --> 00:36:59,926
The boss? The governor?
495
00:37:08,351 --> 00:37:11,312
Governor, let me put it in simple words
so you understand :
496
00:37:11,479 --> 00:37:14,899
There's no money for all these things
you wanna do for the poor.
497
00:37:15,066 --> 00:37:16,651
Oh , there's money , senator.
498
00:37:16,817 --> 00:37:19,278
You're wrong there .
There's plenty of money .
499
00:37:19,528 --> 00:37:22,990
Every kilowatt comes out of the river,
every barrel of oil from the ground .
500
00:37:23,157 --> 00:37:25,660
But that doesn't belong to you , sir.
501
00:37:25,826 --> 00:37:29,664
That's right. Don't belong to you either
or them . Belongs to the state .
502
00:37:30,498 --> 00:37:34,919
How about the state don't tax just 5%
to build my roads , we take it all?
503
00:37:35,086 --> 00:37:38,172
These are some powerful companies
you talking about taking money from .
504
00:37:38,339 --> 00:37:40,758
-They ain't gonna stand for it.
-They ain't the power.
505
00:37:40,925 --> 00:37:42,927
The power's in the hands
of the powerless . . .
506
00:37:43,094 --> 00:37:45,137
. . . and those hands
have handed it to me .
507
00:37:51,352 --> 00:37:54,188
Realistically , they'll approve
half the money , maybe .
508
00:37:54,355 --> 00:37:56,023
And that's after we beat them up .
509
00:37:56,190 --> 00:37:58,401
So we build them half a highway .
510
00:37:58,567 --> 00:38:01,487
Mile of concrete , mile of dirt,
mile of concrete , mile of dirt. . .
511
00:38:01,654 --> 00:38:03,155
. . . all the way to Shreveport.
512
00:38:03,322 --> 00:38:05,783
Now, how's anybody gonna drive
on that?
513
00:38:05,950 --> 00:38:07,702
People ain't gonna stand for that.
514
00:38:07,868 --> 00:38:09,662
They like their roads finished .
515
00:38:09,829 --> 00:38:11,038
That's right.
516
00:38:11,914 --> 00:38:13,499
What's right?
517
00:38:13,833 --> 00:38:16,544
Hey , Jack. Sadie , take Tiny
out of here , explain it to him .
518
00:38:16,711 --> 00:38:19,046
-He just said it and he don't get it.
-Come on , Tiny .
519
00:38:19,213 --> 00:38:21,048
-You want something to eat?
-No , thank you .
520
00:38:21,215 --> 00:38:22,675
-Well , sit down .
-H i , Sadie .
521
00:38:22,842 --> 00:38:24,176
Hey .
522
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,056
l heard you got fired .
523
00:38:29,223 --> 00:38:31,809
Oh , you heard wrong . l quit.
524
00:38:31,976 --> 00:38:35,730
That's smart. When l get done with that
outfit, they won't be able to pay you . . .
525
00:38:35,896 --> 00:38:38,733
. . . nor the nigra
who sweeps the floor.
526
00:38:38,899 --> 00:38:41,610
-You want a job?
-Working for whom?
527
00:38:41,777 --> 00:38:44,822
-The state?
-Hell , no .
528
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,532
Me .
529
00:38:46,699 --> 00:38:48,701
You , me , Sadie , Tiny .
530
00:38:48,868 --> 00:38:52,246
Tiny? l was surprised to hear
Tiny was back.
531
00:38:53,247 --> 00:38:55,916
Well , somebody gotta be
lieutenant governor.
532
00:38:56,208 --> 00:38:58,169
Yeah , sure .
533
00:39:00,546 --> 00:39:02,882
l keep Tiny around . . .
534
00:39:03,090 --> 00:39:06,552
. . .to remind me of something
l never wanna forget.
535
00:39:07,261 --> 00:39:09,013
And that is?
536
00:39:09,472 --> 00:39:14,143
When they come around
sweet-talking , don't listen .
537
00:39:14,685 --> 00:39:16,312
Never again .
538
00:39:19,648 --> 00:39:22,651
What would l be doing for you?
539
00:39:25,613 --> 00:39:27,740
Sweet-talking .
540
00:39:34,663 --> 00:39:36,749
All right, everybody .
541
00:39:36,916 --> 00:39:38,626
What on earth is that?
542
00:39:38,793 --> 00:39:41,045
-This is a ballista.
-A what?
543
00:39:41,212 --> 00:39:45,049
Jack will tell you all about it.
Jack, come on . Tell them .
544
00:39:45,216 --> 00:39:49,303
lt's a pre-gunpowder weapon
fired with the tension of animal sinew.
545
00:39:49,470 --> 00:39:51,013
Oh , my God .
546
00:40:05,444 --> 00:40:06,654
Jack?
547
00:40:08,906 --> 00:40:12,326
Right. See the eagle
on top of the clock?
548
00:40:14,161 --> 00:40:15,663
One . . .
549
00:40:16,622 --> 00:40:17,832
. . .two . . . .
550
00:40:32,430 --> 00:40:35,224
They say you're in politics,
Mr. Burden?
551
00:40:35,391 --> 00:40:37,810
lt must be fascinating
to be in politics.
552
00:40:38,352 --> 00:40:41,647
lt's not, l assure you .
553
00:40:41,814 --> 00:40:44,358
Well , they say
you're very influential .
554
00:40:44,525 --> 00:40:47,528
lt must be fascinating
to be very influential .
555
00:40:47,695 --> 00:40:49,029
l honestly wouldn't know.
556
00:40:49,196 --> 00:40:53,909
Don't let him kid you , Miss DuMonde .
My godson Jack is very influential .
557
00:40:54,076 --> 00:40:55,995
Like when he was a newspaperman .
558
00:40:56,162 --> 00:40:57,872
All right, then , yes, l'm influential .
559
00:40:58,038 --> 00:41:01,208
Any pals in the pen anyone
wants pardoned , l'll put in the word .
560
00:41:01,375 --> 00:41:03,794
Well , there is gonna be
somebody in the pen .
561
00:41:03,961 --> 00:41:06,630
Before it's over,
what's going on there?
562
00:41:06,797 --> 00:41:08,799
All these wild goings-on .
563
00:41:09,884 --> 00:41:14,013
Fella giving away the state .
Free this, free that, free the other.
564
00:41:14,180 --> 00:41:18,058
Every wool-hat jackass
thinking the world is free .
565
00:41:18,476 --> 00:41:20,561
Who's gonna pay?
That's what l wanna know.
566
00:41:21,228 --> 00:41:22,855
Who's he think's gonna pay?
567
00:41:23,022 --> 00:41:25,566
Standard Oil and the utility companies,
l imagine .
568
00:41:25,733 --> 00:41:28,235
And anyone else that can afford
to pay their share .
569
00:41:28,402 --> 00:41:30,571
You and me , George . We'll pay .
570
00:41:30,738 --> 00:41:32,573
Government's committed
these days . . .
571
00:41:32,740 --> 00:41:36,452
. . . giving services
we never heard of back when .
572
00:41:36,619 --> 00:41:40,998
And he's gonna tax this state to death .
Drive business right out.
573
00:41:41,165 --> 00:41:43,250
You don't think it boils down to this:
574
00:41:43,417 --> 00:41:45,461
lf the government,
for quite a long time now. . .
575
00:41:45,628 --> 00:41:47,421
. . . had done anything
for the people . . .
576
00:41:47,588 --> 00:41:50,424
. . .they wouldn't have got fed up
and elected Mr. Stark.
577
00:41:51,383 --> 00:41:55,179
Well , you ask him this
next time you see him :
578
00:41:55,346 --> 00:41:59,725
Ask him how much grabbing there is ,
all that money flowing .
579
00:42:00,768 --> 00:42:03,938
Then you ask him what's he gonna do
when they impeach him .
580
00:42:04,730 --> 00:42:07,107
There's a constitution in this state . . .
581
00:42:07,274 --> 00:42:10,569
. . . or was , before he blew it to hell .
582
00:42:11,445 --> 00:42:14,865
-l'll be sure to ask him .
-You do that.
583
00:42:15,032 --> 00:42:18,452
Jack, Miss DuMonde plays the piano .
584
00:42:19,286 --> 00:42:21,080
That's nice .
585
00:42:25,292 --> 00:42:29,380
You weren't like yourself today , son ,
like you used to be .
586
00:42:29,547 --> 00:42:33,634
Mother, if l'm ever like l used to be ,
do me a favor and shoot me .
587
00:42:36,303 --> 00:42:37,721
Who was that at lunch anyway?
588
00:42:37,888 --> 00:42:40,182
Mr. Peyton .
You've known him all your life .
589
00:42:40,349 --> 00:42:42,810
He builds electrical plants
or some such .
590
00:42:42,977 --> 00:42:44,853
The girl , Mother. Miss DuMonde .
591
00:42:45,020 --> 00:42:50,025
That's Mr. Orton's sister's child
and she will inherit his money .
592
00:42:50,192 --> 00:42:53,112
Somebody ought to wait
until she inherits it, then marry her. . .
593
00:42:53,279 --> 00:42:55,990
. . . and drown her in her bathtub .
594
00:42:56,699 --> 00:42:59,743
Oh , don't worry ,
l'd like to drown her but l won't.
595
00:43:00,786 --> 00:43:03,122
Was Mr. Peyton saying
those people you're with . . .
596
00:43:03,289 --> 00:43:06,166
. . . are mixed up in some sort of graft?
597
00:43:06,333 --> 00:43:08,502
Graft's what you call it
when who's doing it. . .
598
00:43:08,669 --> 00:43:11,630
- . . . doesn't know which fork to use .
-Well , whatever you call it.
599
00:43:11,797 --> 00:43:13,924
-Because l worry to think that--
-l don't know.
600
00:43:14,091 --> 00:43:17,177
How would l , careful as l am not
to know what anybody anywhere . . .
601
00:43:17,344 --> 00:43:19,430
. . . is doing at any time?
602
00:43:33,611 --> 00:43:35,029
Oh , Jack, make a note .
603
00:43:35,195 --> 00:43:37,948
Find out where they got
Senator Tucson's boy locked up .
604
00:43:38,115 --> 00:43:41,452
-What's his name?
-The boy? Hell , l don't remember.
605
00:43:41,619 --> 00:43:44,038
Find out when's the trial ,
get a lawyer down there .
606
00:43:45,623 --> 00:43:48,751
-Who? Evans?
-Not Evans .
607
00:43:48,917 --> 00:43:51,170
Find somebody
with less oil in his hair. . .
608
00:43:51,337 --> 00:43:53,172
. . . and don't look like he sing
with a band .
609
00:43:54,506 --> 00:43:55,716
Put one of your pals on it.
610
00:43:56,717 --> 00:43:58,510
You any idea who it was got cut?
611
00:43:58,677 --> 00:44:02,556
l don't care if it was the sainted aunt
of the Apostle Paul .
612
00:44:02,723 --> 00:44:04,892
Well , l just happen to know.
613
00:44:05,059 --> 00:44:07,269
Fella's son of a doctor, paper said .
614
00:44:07,436 --> 00:44:10,648
They're pretty important around here ,
you know, a doctor in the country .
615
00:44:10,814 --> 00:44:13,233
They think they're somebody .
616
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,445
And maybe it gets out you're
trying to fix it to get the boy off.
617
00:44:16,612 --> 00:44:18,572
Wouldn't do you any good .
618
00:44:18,947 --> 00:44:22,034
-Now, it appears to me , maybe--
-You don't know a goddamn thing .
619
00:44:22,785 --> 00:44:24,536
Had you been listening . . .
620
00:44:24,703 --> 00:44:27,331
. . . l told Jack to prime
the lawyer through a pal .
621
00:44:27,498 --> 00:44:30,250
Find somebody who don't need to
see his name in lights .
622
00:44:30,417 --> 00:44:33,587
That way , nobody knows
who picked him wasn't me .
623
00:44:34,588 --> 00:44:38,884
Might as well been the pope
himself far as anybody knows .
624
00:44:39,426 --> 00:44:40,719
All right.
625
00:44:41,762 --> 00:44:43,389
l get you .
626
00:44:43,555 --> 00:44:45,557
Yeah , just barely .
627
00:45:03,242 --> 00:45:05,119
-Hey , there , Pop .
-How you doing , son?
628
00:45:05,786 --> 00:45:09,331
-How you making out?
-Oh , l'm getting along .
629
00:45:09,498 --> 00:45:11,875
-Good to see you .
-You looking good .
630
00:45:13,293 --> 00:45:17,089
-l brought the infantry here .
-How are you?
631
00:45:17,256 --> 00:45:20,175
-More prettier than ever.
-Hey , Grandpa.
632
00:45:20,509 --> 00:45:22,136
How you doing , buddy?
How's the arm?
633
00:45:22,302 --> 00:45:25,139
-He gonna be all-American .
-l know he is . l know he is .
634
00:45:27,349 --> 00:45:32,688
All right, governor, sir, here we go .
One , two . . . .
635
00:45:58,672 --> 00:46:00,215

Give me a slug .
637
00:46:10,684 --> 00:46:13,187
Pa don't favor drinking .
638
00:46:13,353 --> 00:46:15,856
Used to be Lucy didn't favor it.
639
00:46:18,192 --> 00:46:21,528
l don't know what she do
or don't favor no more .
640
00:46:21,862 --> 00:46:23,864
Not that it matters .
641
00:46:27,201 --> 00:46:31,997
Yeah , l must have poured 1 0 , 000
gallons of swill in them troughs .
642
00:46:32,873 --> 00:46:35,709
Still doing it. Pouring swill .
643
00:46:35,876 --> 00:46:38,253
Some things never change .
644
00:46:42,466 --> 00:46:43,467

-Spill it.
-l'll spill it when l have my breath .
648
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,774
You're using it up
explaining you don't have it.
649
00:46:58,941 --> 00:47:01,568
You think it's funny?
You won't when l tell you .
650
00:47:01,902 --> 00:47:04,696
-You tell me later.
-Byram rang up .
651
00:47:05,322 --> 00:47:07,908
He said the afternoon papers

. . .the allegations warrant
a full-on investigation .
653
00:47:12,329 --> 00:47:13,580
Two-timing bastard .
654
00:47:15,123 --> 00:47:17,584
That two-timing bastard .
655
00:47:19,753 --> 00:47:21,004
Clear them out.
656
00:47:21,171 --> 00:47:23,090
Tiny was figuring

00:47:23,257 --> 00:47:25,008
Clear them all out.
658
00:47:42,693 --> 00:47:44,111

00:48:43,837 --> 00:48:46,089
No , Jack's not in any trouble .
669
00:48:46,256 --> 00:48:49,509
Matter of fact, he doing all right,
all things considered .
670
00:48:55,140 --> 00:48:58,936
l trust you don't mind
if Jack pours me a slug .
671
00:48:59,311 --> 00:49:01,730
l didn't know his duties
ran to those of manservant. . .
672
00:49:01,897 --> 00:49:04,358
- . . . but if l'm mistaken , l'm sorry .
-Oh , hell .
673
00:49:04,524 --> 00:49:07,569
Sometimes Jack pours me a drink,
sometimes l pour him one .
674
00:49:07,736 --> 00:49:10,322
Sometimes l pour myself one .
675
00:49:10,822 --> 00:49:12,491
l could pour you one .
676
00:49:12,658 --> 00:49:14,368
No , thank you .
677
00:49:19,247 --> 00:49:20,916
This today's?
678
00:49:21,083 --> 00:49:24,336
Yeah , l don't get much time
to read the papers . . .
679
00:49:24,503 --> 00:49:27,297
. . . rushing around the state
doing the good work.
680
00:49:27,673 --> 00:49:30,300
Well , perhaps , l can relieve
your curiosity on one point.
681
00:49:30,467 --> 00:49:32,469
Somewhere in there's my opinion
on the severity . . .
682
00:49:32,636 --> 00:49:35,180
. . . of the allegations against you ,
if that's of interest.
683
00:49:35,347 --> 00:49:37,474
Somebody told me that.
684
00:49:38,141 --> 00:49:41,103
But you know how rumor
hath a thousand tongues .
685
00:49:41,269 --> 00:49:44,898
And how them newspaper boys ,
they can exaggerate some .
686
00:49:45,357 --> 00:49:46,984
lt's no exaggeration .
687
00:49:48,110 --> 00:49:49,778
Yeah , l see .
688
00:49:51,113 --> 00:49:53,115
lf you're clear on that
and finished with your drink. . .
689
00:49:53,281 --> 00:49:55,242
. . . l'd appreciate it
if you'd just get out.
690
00:49:55,409 --> 00:49:58,328
Hey , thank you , judge ,
l think l will have just one more spot.
691
00:50:01,206 --> 00:50:04,668
So l see it there in the paper,
and l hear you say it. . .
692
00:50:04,835 --> 00:50:07,754
. . . but are you sure
you took it to the Lord in prayer?
693
00:50:08,463 --> 00:50:10,340
l settled it in my mind .
694
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:13,969
See , that's unsettling .
695
00:50:14,136 --> 00:50:16,596
Because if l recollect right,
l recollect that. . .
696
00:50:16,763 --> 00:50:19,182
. . .when we had our conversation
in town that time . . .
697
00:50:19,349 --> 00:50:22,936
. . . you sort of felt like what MacMurphy
and his boys were saying about me . . .
698
00:50:23,186 --> 00:50:24,438
. . .was beneath contempt.
699
00:50:24,604 --> 00:50:27,441
l made no commitment to you
or to them , only to my conscience .
700
00:50:27,607 --> 00:50:30,610
-l beg your pardon , your what?
-l beg yours .
701
00:50:34,823 --> 00:50:38,201
You been toiling around politics too
long to use a word like conscience . . .
702
00:50:38,368 --> 00:50:39,911
. . . so easily .
703
00:50:40,078 --> 00:50:43,915
No , my change of conscience came
when certain features of your. . .
704
00:50:44,291 --> 00:50:47,085
. . . public services , shall we say ,
came to my attention .
705
00:50:47,252 --> 00:50:50,130
Somebody dug something up for you?
l n the dirt?
706
00:50:50,297 --> 00:50:53,258
Yeah , not just one thing
and not very deep .
707
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,052
Well , dirt's a funny thing .
708
00:50:55,218 --> 00:50:59,848
Ain't nothing but dirt on God's green
earth except what's under the water.
709
00:51:00,015 --> 00:51:02,851
And that's dirt too ,
come to think of it.
710
00:51:03,435 --> 00:51:05,103
Dirt makes the grass green . . .
711
00:51:05,645 --> 00:51:07,189
. . . let it breathe .
712
00:51:07,355 --> 00:51:11,401
The diamond on my wife's finger
ain't nothing but dirt got awful hot.
713
00:51:11,568 --> 00:51:14,529
What are we , but dirt blowed off
the hands of God almighty?
714
00:51:14,696 --> 00:51:17,741
You and me
and George Washington .
715
00:51:19,659 --> 00:51:21,078
And Jack there .
716
00:51:24,081 --> 00:51:25,373
Still doesn't alter the fact.
717
00:51:25,540 --> 00:51:29,419
l'm not trying to alter anything ,
just illuminate it.
718
00:51:30,962 --> 00:51:32,172
Yeah .
719
00:51:32,339 --> 00:51:35,717
You saying MacMurphy and his bunch ,
yelling for my impeachment. . .
720
00:51:35,884 --> 00:51:38,678
. . .they're responsible ,
law-abiding men?
721
00:51:38,970 --> 00:51:42,224
Yeah , they're responsible all right,
to Alta Power and oil companies. . .
722
00:51:42,390 --> 00:51:43,850
. . . and the rest of them thieves .
723
00:51:44,017 --> 00:51:45,268
l wouldn't know about that.
724
00:51:45,435 --> 00:51:49,189
Only way to not know
is to not wanna know.
725
00:51:50,982 --> 00:51:54,694
l'm retired , Mr. Stark. A reporter
asked my opinion and l gave it.
726
00:51:54,861 --> 00:51:58,115
lf you was retired , no reporter
would wanna ask you anything .
727
00:51:59,199 --> 00:52:01,368
What you say matters .
728
00:52:01,660 --> 00:52:04,329
A lot more than you pretend it don't.
729
00:52:06,164 --> 00:52:08,166
So l'm asking you . . .
730
00:52:09,042 --> 00:52:11,002
. . . call off the dogs .
731
00:52:12,087 --> 00:52:16,967
Asking is different than telling
and that sounded like telling to me .
732
00:52:17,717 --> 00:52:19,719
Didn't it to you , Jack?
733
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:26,393
You been a judge a long time .
734
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,228
Yes , l have .
735
00:52:30,272 --> 00:52:32,732
How would it feel , do you think. . .
736
00:52:33,984 --> 00:52:36,528
. . .to not be one no more?
737
00:52:39,781 --> 00:52:43,076
No man has ever been able
to intimidate me .
738
00:52:43,243 --> 00:52:47,038
l said what l said and l see no reason
to say or think anything different.
739
00:52:47,831 --> 00:52:51,751
Despite your expositions
on laws and men , sir.
740
00:52:54,337 --> 00:52:55,589
Suit yourself.
741
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,594
You're right, Jack.
He don't scare easy .
742
00:53:02,929 --> 00:53:08,226
J udge , it's more in pain
than wrath l go .
743
00:53:08,768 --> 00:53:11,938
Let's go .
lt's past Sugar Boy's bedtime .
744
00:53:13,106 --> 00:53:15,108
Your employer is calling you , Jack.
745
00:53:15,942 --> 00:53:18,904
l wouldn't go around
advertising this visit to anyone .
746
00:53:19,070 --> 00:53:20,864
l n case you change your mind .
747
00:53:31,333 --> 00:53:33,084
Bastard .
748
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:37,589
Well , Jackie ,
you got a job cut out for you .
749
00:53:38,173 --> 00:53:41,635
-MacMurphy .
-No , the judge .
750
00:53:43,094 --> 00:53:45,055
You bring down the lion . . .
751
00:53:45,222 --> 00:53:49,100
. . .the rest of the jungle will quake
in fear and they'll all fall into line .
752
00:53:49,684 --> 00:53:52,938
-l won't find anything .
-Oh , yes, you will .
753
00:53:53,146 --> 00:53:57,817
A man is conceived in sin
and born in corruption . . .
754
00:53:57,984 --> 00:54:01,446
. . . and passeth from the stink of
the didie to the stench of the shroud .
755
00:54:03,490 --> 00:54:05,367
You'll find something .
756
00:54:06,201 --> 00:54:07,786
And make it stick.
757
00:54:16,378 --> 00:54:20,131
Apart from pleasing the boss,
l could see little advantage . . .
758
00:54:20,298 --> 00:54:25,971
. . . in finding anything beyond what
was already known about Judge lrwin .
759
00:54:28,723 --> 00:54:31,893
What was known
was that he was kind to you . . .
760
00:54:32,060 --> 00:54:35,814
. . .when your father left you
and your mother without saying why .
761
00:54:38,316 --> 00:54:40,193
What was known
was that he taught you . . .
762
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,821
. . .the things your father
should have:
763
00:54:43,863 --> 00:54:46,032
How to be a gentleman .
764
00:54:46,199 --> 00:54:48,827
How to firmly shake a hand .
765
00:54:49,327 --> 00:54:53,039
How to safely load a shotgun
and lead a duck if you wanted to hit it.
766
00:54:56,835 --> 00:54:58,753
What was known . . .
767
00:54:59,254 --> 00:55:03,133
. . .was that he was more of a father
to you than your real father. . .
768
00:55:05,302 --> 00:55:07,721
. . .who you didn't know at all .
769
00:56:33,681 --> 00:56:35,642
Hold it, please .
770
00:56:36,184 --> 00:56:38,478
Governor's penthouse .
771
00:56:43,358 --> 00:56:46,444
How you doing digging
something up on J udge l rwin?
772
00:56:46,820 --> 00:56:48,321
Nothing .
773
00:56:48,488 --> 00:56:50,740
Nothing . Found nothing
or done nothing?
774
00:56:50,907 --> 00:56:54,953
There was nothing to find . l could
dig to China, wouldn't find anything .
775
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:56,955
-And l'm not framing him .
-Framing?
776
00:56:57,122 --> 00:56:59,165
Ain't nobody talking about framing .
777
00:56:59,332 --> 00:57:00,667
That's never necessary .
778
00:57:00,834 --> 00:57:03,837
The truth is always sufficient.
You just find the truth .
779
00:57:04,254 --> 00:57:05,797
lt's a waste of time and money .
780
00:57:05,964 --> 00:57:08,425
Jesus , doesn't anybody listen
to what l say anymore?
781
00:57:08,591 --> 00:57:12,178
You don't wanna do it, don't do it.
Or are you just looking for a raise?
782
00:57:12,846 --> 00:57:15,765
l'm gonna give you $ 1 00 raise
whether you want it or not.
783
00:57:15,932 --> 00:57:17,517
lf l wanted more money , l'd make it.
784
00:57:19,519 --> 00:57:21,521
You gonna tell me
you work for me for love?
785
00:57:21,688 --> 00:57:24,607
l don't know why l work for you ,
but it ain't for love or money .
786
00:57:24,774 --> 00:57:26,192
Well , that's right, it's not.
787
00:57:27,068 --> 00:57:29,320
And you don't know why .
788
00:57:31,322 --> 00:57:32,699
But l do .
789
00:57:34,117 --> 00:57:35,535
Why?
790
00:57:35,869 --> 00:57:40,665
Boy , you work for me
because l'm the way l am . . .
791
00:57:40,832 --> 00:57:43,209
. . . and you the way you are . . .
792
00:57:43,376 --> 00:57:47,338
. . . and that's just an arrangement
founded in the natural order of things .
793
00:57:55,138 --> 00:57:57,515
She sure could skate .
794
00:58:01,186 --> 00:58:02,896
Right now. . .
795
00:58:03,438 --> 00:58:05,732
. . . hidden away in chambers . . .
796
00:58:06,191 --> 00:58:09,319
. . . not out here in the open
like you and me . . .
797
00:58:10,487 --> 00:58:13,907
. . .there's a legislature
full of hyena-headed . . .
798
00:58:14,073 --> 00:58:17,494
. . . belly-dragging sons of bitches . . .
799
00:58:17,744 --> 00:58:21,372
. . . setting around trying to figure out
how to impeach me .
800
00:58:22,916 --> 00:58:26,085
Now, they say it's because
l got crooks on the payroll .
801
00:58:26,252 --> 00:58:28,087
l say , "ls that all?"
802
00:58:29,214 --> 00:58:32,175
Of course l got them .
l got a can of oil in the garage too . . .
803
00:58:32,342 --> 00:58:34,093
. . . because there ain't a machine
made by man . . .
804
00:58:34,260 --> 00:58:38,681
. . . don't need a squirt of that
from time to time just to keep running !
805
00:58:41,434 --> 00:58:43,686
But my crooks . . .
806
00:58:44,896 --> 00:58:47,106
. . . unlike theirs . . .
807
00:58:47,273 --> 00:58:50,151
. . . are all atremble . . .
808
00:58:50,401 --> 00:58:52,779
. . .to be too crooked .
809
00:58:53,613 --> 00:58:57,367
They're itty-bitty compared
to their crooks in there .
810
00:58:57,534 --> 00:58:59,994
The Standard Oil
and the power companies .
811
00:59:00,161 --> 00:59:02,372
Besides , l got my eye on mine .
812
00:59:02,539 --> 00:59:05,166
Ain't nobody watching
over these crooks .
813
00:59:05,792 --> 00:59:08,795
Ain't nobody got their eye on them . . .
814
00:59:08,962 --> 00:59:13,341
. . .while they rob
the resources of this state !
815
00:59:14,801 --> 00:59:17,595
Who made that son of a bitch
what he is? Who made him governor?
816
00:59:17,762 --> 00:59:20,181
And he goes and two-times me?
l'll kill him .
817
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,351
No , he's two-timing Lucy .
818
00:59:23,518 --> 00:59:26,729
You need some other kind of
arithmetic for what he's doing to you .
819
00:59:26,896 --> 00:59:29,983
Lucy , she's a fool . She's. . . .
820
00:59:30,942 --> 00:59:33,486
-l don't know what.
-H is wife .
821
00:59:34,654 --> 00:59:38,491
A hick with a college degree
from some Baptist hole in the ground .
822
00:59:40,994 --> 00:59:42,787
What was she like?
823
00:59:43,746 --> 00:59:46,833
-l didn't know Lucy any further back--
-The slut on skates .
824
00:59:48,126 --> 00:59:50,461
l don't know,
l was looking at her skates .
825
00:59:50,628 --> 00:59:52,630
Sure you were .
826
00:59:55,008 --> 00:59:58,177
-Was she pretty?
-Look, just forget it.
827
00:59:59,596 --> 01:00:01,514
How young was she?
828
01:00:02,390 --> 01:00:05,184
-Who cares?
-Look at me .
829
01:00:20,366 --> 01:00:24,662
He'll be back.
The world is full of sluts on skates.
830
01:00:26,497 --> 01:00:30,877
Skates, grass skirts, geisha outfits.
831
01:00:36,674 --> 01:00:38,718
Contortionists.
832
01:00:41,929 --> 01:00:46,225
Every man a king
Every man a king
833
01:00:46,392 --> 01:00:50,563
For you can be a millionaire
834
01:00:50,730 --> 01:00:54,734
But there's something
Belonging to others
835
01:00:54,901 --> 01:00:58,696
Well , there's enough
For all people to share
836
01:00:59,113 --> 01:01:03,493
When it's sunny June
Or December too
837
01:01:03,660 --> 01:01:07,080
ln the wintertime or spring
838
01:01:07,747 --> 01:01:09,832
Well, there'll be peace without end
839
01:01:09,999 --> 01:01:12,335
Every neighbor a friend
840
01:01:12,502 --> 01:01:16,172
With every man a king
841
01:01:23,388 --> 01:01:26,891
The judge married money .
Savannah money .
842
01:01:27,058 --> 01:01:29,686
The daughter of an industrialist
out there .
843
01:01:29,852 --> 01:01:31,813
He's clean , Willie .
He's washed in the blood .
844
01:01:34,232 --> 01:01:37,777
-You call yourself a detective .
-l'm most certainly not--
845
01:01:37,944 --> 01:01:40,738
The son of a bitch
is washed in whitewash !
846
01:01:40,905 --> 01:01:42,573
-Wanting it isn't the same as being it.
-l know!
847
01:01:42,740 --> 01:01:45,243
-l can feel it.
-That isn't the same either.
848
01:01:45,410 --> 01:01:47,286
Where did you find this itty-bitty out?
849
01:01:47,453 --> 01:01:49,288
Hall of Records. lt's all there .
850
01:01:49,455 --> 01:01:51,791
Marriage licences ,
property deeds , public record .
851
01:01:51,958 --> 01:01:55,712
The public record is for the public,
not us. That's why it's called that.
852
01:01:55,878 --> 01:01:57,630
You ain't gonna find nothing there !
853
01:01:58,548 --> 01:02:01,134
Now, l told you to dig ,
not scuff your shoe a little bit.
854
01:02:01,300 --> 01:02:04,637
-You gotta get out and talk to them .
-To whom?
855
01:02:05,096 --> 01:02:06,806
The public.
856
01:02:07,306 --> 01:02:09,058
The people who knew him .
857
01:02:09,225 --> 01:02:10,727
This was a long time ago .
858
01:02:10,893 --> 01:02:15,231
Well , look, he's still alive , isn't he?
Causing trouble .
859
01:02:15,398 --> 01:02:18,401
So you gotta chafe up your hands
a little , for chrissake . . .
860
01:02:18,568 --> 01:02:20,737
. . . like the rest of us .
861
01:02:26,242 --> 01:02:28,661
Where the hell is everybody?
862
01:02:29,454 --> 01:02:33,249
Whatever there was to find
in the case of the upright judge . . .
863
01:02:33,416 --> 01:02:36,210
. . .would be long-buried
in the past. . .
864
01:02:36,377 --> 01:02:39,297
. . . like a dead cat in the back yard .
865
01:02:42,300 --> 01:02:44,177
But what could be buried there
like that. . .
866
01:02:45,470 --> 01:02:48,181
. . . in a place like Burden's Landing?
867
01:02:48,514 --> 01:02:51,017
Where you and your friends
grew up . . .
868
01:02:51,184 --> 01:02:54,979
. . . shaded
by 300-year-old live oaks. . .
869
01:02:55,188 --> 01:02:57,732
. . . and the sense
of your own entitlement.
870
01:02:59,358 --> 01:03:03,988
To dig around that past
in that back yard . . .
871
01:03:04,197 --> 01:03:09,869
. . .you must first-- You tell yourself.
--seek out the girl from that past:
872
01:03:10,411 --> 01:03:12,288
Anne Stanton .
873
01:03:12,455 --> 01:03:15,166
The daughter of the governor
back then .
874
01:03:15,500 --> 01:03:18,586
The little sister
of your best friend, Adam . . .
875
01:03:20,254 --> 01:03:22,006
. . .who , one day , you noticed . . .
876
01:03:22,173 --> 01:03:25,092
. . . and it struck you
kind of all of a sudden . . .
877
01:03:25,259 --> 01:03:27,637
. . .wasn't little anymore .
878
01:03:30,473 --> 01:03:33,684
She was the first one
you loved like that.
879
01:03:34,101 --> 01:03:36,938
And the last, it turns out.
880
01:03:39,065 --> 01:03:41,567
So you hold on to her pictures
in your mind . . .
881
01:03:42,276 --> 01:03:44,111
. . .year after year. . .
882
01:03:44,278 --> 01:03:48,407
. . . in the belief that someday
it'll be like that again . . .
883
01:03:48,574 --> 01:03:51,035
. . .even though
you have no evidence .
884
01:03:53,037 --> 01:03:54,914
l n church , they call this faith .
885
01:03:56,749 --> 01:03:58,835
So that's what l'll call it.
886
01:03:59,377 --> 01:04:02,922
Every month or so ,
l come out here and light a fire .
887
01:04:03,130 --> 01:04:05,132
Dry the place out.
888
01:04:07,718 --> 01:04:10,596
l know it doesn't really
accomplish that. . .
889
01:04:10,763 --> 01:04:14,308
. . . but l got a feeling if l didn't,
if nobody ever came . . .
890
01:04:15,309 --> 01:04:17,770
. . .the place would just one day
cave in on itself.
891
01:04:18,604 --> 01:04:20,189
Adam never comes out?
892
01:04:20,356 --> 01:04:22,400
No . Not anymore .
893
01:04:23,609 --> 01:04:26,612
He took the piano , or someone did .
894
01:04:26,779 --> 01:04:30,116
Took it and put it in that place
he's living . Have you seen it?
895
01:04:32,535 --> 01:04:36,289
God forbid my brother
ever spent any money on himself.
896
01:04:36,622 --> 01:04:38,791
Or that people knew it.
897
01:04:42,211 --> 01:04:44,130
How's your wife?
898
01:04:44,338 --> 01:04:47,425
l'm sorry , l've forgotten her name .
899
01:04:48,843 --> 01:04:51,304
That didn't quite work out
as l'd hoped .
900
01:04:52,471 --> 01:04:55,099
A lot of tangled bedclothes
and unspoken loathing . . .
901
01:04:55,266 --> 01:04:57,602
. . .then spoken loathing
and no tangled bedclothes .
902
01:05:00,021 --> 01:05:02,982
Didn't l read of your engagement
in the society column?
903
01:05:03,149 --> 01:05:06,694
Which you know
l always turn to first in the paper.
904
01:05:07,445 --> 01:05:10,114
l was engaged . More than once .
905
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:12,700
Adam didn't care for any of them .
906
01:05:13,910 --> 01:05:17,663
-Why that should matter, l don't know.
-Who needs them , anyway?
907
01:05:25,171 --> 01:05:30,092
Anne , way back,
was J udge l rwin ever broke?
908
01:05:31,344 --> 01:05:32,553
What?
909
01:05:33,012 --> 01:05:35,431
J udges don't make
the kind of money your father did . . .
910
01:05:35,598 --> 01:05:37,475
. . . or my father,
or anyone who lives here .
911
01:05:38,184 --> 01:05:41,145
Why on earth would you want
to know such a thing?
912
01:05:41,312 --> 01:05:44,857
-Someone asked me and l didn't know.
-Asked you what?
913
01:05:45,399 --> 01:05:47,318
What l just asked you .
914
01:05:47,485 --> 01:05:49,028
Why?
915
01:05:51,739 --> 01:05:53,741
Oh , Jack,
what are you doing for that man?
916
01:05:53,908 --> 01:05:56,661
-That man .
-Whatever it is , don't.
917
01:05:56,827 --> 01:05:59,956
That man is what those pushed
away from the trough call him .
918
01:06:00,122 --> 01:06:03,668
Those invited to it
should find another name .
919
01:06:03,834 --> 01:06:06,379
Accepting state money
for scholarships . . .
920
01:06:06,545 --> 01:06:08,631
. . . is different
from being on his payroll .
921
01:06:08,798 --> 01:06:11,842
-ls it?
-Yes , it is .
922
01:06:16,889 --> 01:06:19,558
-Oh , don't ruin it.
-What?
923
01:06:20,017 --> 01:06:21,644
Don't ruin this?
924
01:06:21,811 --> 01:06:25,398
Or that fine , beautiful time
we all had here once?
925
01:06:26,399 --> 01:06:28,567
You sure that's what it was?
926
01:06:29,485 --> 01:06:33,489
-Yes .
-Then why did it turn into this time?
927
01:06:34,073 --> 01:06:37,034
With me drinking myself to death . . .
928
01:06:37,201 --> 01:06:40,579
. . .Adam getting more reclusive
and strange . . .
929
01:06:40,746 --> 01:06:44,500
. . . and you once a month coming out
to a house with the electricity cut off?
930
01:06:45,626 --> 01:06:48,087
This time came from that time .
931
01:06:51,257 --> 01:06:52,967
We should go .
932
01:06:54,719 --> 01:06:56,095
The fire can burn .
933
01:06:56,846 --> 01:06:59,098
lt will anyway , you know, one day .
934
01:06:59,265 --> 01:07:00,683
What will what anyway?
935
01:07:02,435 --> 01:07:04,812
Cave in on itself.
936
01:07:06,397 --> 01:07:08,107
Everything .
937
01:08:06,499 --> 01:08:09,335
ls the Seaboard Bank in Savannah?
938
01:08:09,502 --> 01:08:12,254
Not since 1 938 .
939
01:08:12,588 --> 01:08:14,381
What happened in '38?
940
01:08:14,548 --> 01:08:17,426
Bought out by Georgia Fidelity .
941
01:08:17,843 --> 01:08:20,304
Got any idea
who was president then?
942
01:08:21,013 --> 01:08:22,848
F ranklin Roosevelt.
943
01:08:24,308 --> 01:08:27,728
Ma'am , of the bank.
944
01:08:27,978 --> 01:08:31,023
LeMoyne Carruthers was my friend .
945
01:08:31,357 --> 01:08:33,192
A dear friend .
946
01:08:34,276 --> 01:08:39,490
And his daughter, Mabel ,
well , l did what l could for her. . .
947
01:08:39,657 --> 01:08:42,993
. . . even after her financial reversal .
948
01:08:44,620 --> 01:08:48,165
The year of her financial reversal
was roughly what?
949
01:08:48,332 --> 01:08:50,292
She threw that inheritance away .
950
01:08:50,835 --> 01:08:53,295
Two or three notes l paid myself.
951
01:08:53,504 --> 01:08:56,340
For the memory of LeMoyne ,
my dear friend .
952
01:08:56,507 --> 01:09:01,637
But she'd come back at me without
shame and say , "l want money . "
953
01:09:01,804 --> 01:09:06,016
For parties and balls
and to adorn herself.
954
01:09:06,183 --> 01:09:09,061
For she was plain , to be kind .
955
01:09:09,353 --> 01:09:11,397
Then she was broke
when she met the judge .
956
01:09:11,730 --> 01:09:14,567
So was he . This is when
he was still attorney general . . .
957
01:09:14,733 --> 01:09:17,194
. . . under Governor Stanton
pulling down 3400 a year. . .
958
01:09:17,361 --> 01:09:22,032
. . .while paying off liens on his place
on the Row to the tune of 42, 000 .
959
01:09:23,492 --> 01:09:26,245
Well , you see there ,
you are a detective .
960
01:09:26,412 --> 01:09:28,038
You dug and chinked
the metal box. . .
961
01:09:28,205 --> 01:09:31,333
. . . and are enjoying the sound of it
a bit, if l'm not mistaken .
962
01:09:31,500 --> 01:09:32,835
Might still be empty .
963
01:09:33,002 --> 01:09:35,004
No , it's full .
964
01:09:35,171 --> 01:09:37,798
Crawling with maggots
by now, maybe . . .
965
01:09:37,965 --> 01:09:41,260
. . . but still a little something they was
chewing on . J ust have to look.
966
01:09:41,427 --> 01:09:44,263
Still have to find the key .
And that ain't gonna be easy .
967
01:09:44,430 --> 01:09:47,224
Well , there's nothing easy
that means anything .
968
01:09:47,391 --> 01:09:49,185
You'll do it. l have faith .
969
01:09:50,853 --> 01:09:53,189
l like this one , Slade .
970
01:09:55,733 --> 01:10:01,030
Now , they all is yelling that l got
no right to what's on their table .
971
01:10:01,197 --> 01:10:04,033
What's on their table is theirs.
972
01:10:04,950 --> 01:10:07,912
l'm not trying to take it.
973
01:10:08,078 --> 01:10:11,290
"Go ahead , sit down at that table , "
l tell .
974
01:10:11,624 --> 01:10:15,085
"Have all you want to eat.
Eat till you can't eat no more .
975
01:10:15,252 --> 01:10:19,131
Now, what's left on that table . . .
976
01:10:19,298 --> 01:10:22,468
. . .when you can't eat no more ,
even if you tried . . .
977
01:10:22,635 --> 01:10:27,848
. . . leave that there
because that's for the rest of us . "
978
01:10:30,601 --> 01:10:34,772
And for that, they're trying to ruin me .
979
01:10:34,939 --> 01:10:37,483
For taking
what they left on the table . . .
980
01:10:37,650 --> 01:10:41,153
. . . and using it
to build something for you !
981
01:10:41,946 --> 01:10:46,075
To build 3000 miles
of paved highways . . .
982
01:10:46,242 --> 01:10:50,246
. . . a hundred and eleven new bridges ,
208 new schools . . .
983
01:10:50,412 --> 01:10:53,999
. . . 60 , 000 brand-new jobs !
984
01:10:59,505 --> 01:11:02,216
Now, they wanna ruin me . . .
985
01:11:05,135 --> 01:11:07,554
. . . because they wanna ruin you .
986
01:11:09,223 --> 01:11:13,894
But your will is my strength .
987
01:11:14,812 --> 01:11:18,274
Your need is my justice .
988
01:11:18,440 --> 01:11:22,695
And l won't let them !
989
01:11:34,915 --> 01:11:37,626
lt come to me in a dream .
990
01:11:38,002 --> 01:11:41,297
Whilst you were up in Savannah with
your pail and shovel , eating oysters.
991
01:11:41,463 --> 01:11:42,715
What did?
992
01:11:43,340 --> 01:11:46,969
l'm gonna build me
the best-staffed , best-equipped . . .
993
01:11:47,136 --> 01:11:50,097
. . . biggest goddamn health center
this state ever saw.
994
01:11:50,264 --> 01:11:53,809
This country ever saw.
The All-Father hisself.
995
01:11:53,976 --> 01:11:57,896
You want me to do what
to further this noble enterprise?
996
01:11:58,063 --> 01:12:00,149
Deliver me my chief of staff.
997
01:12:00,316 --> 01:12:03,110
Fine . You give me a list
of who you're thinking to run it.
998
01:12:03,277 --> 01:12:04,737
Only one name on it:
999
01:12:05,237 --> 01:12:07,072
Dr. Adam Stanton .
1000
01:12:07,239 --> 01:12:11,577
That's my boy , Tom ! That's the way !
You see that?
1001
01:12:11,744 --> 01:12:16,540
That's an all-American pass.
Goddamn it. Attaboy , Tom !
1002
01:12:22,379 --> 01:12:26,216
Well , somebody gotta
run this hospital .
1003
01:12:26,383 --> 01:12:28,802
He's gotta be the best, don't he?
1004
01:12:28,969 --> 01:12:32,389
-Adam Stanton is not the best.
-Well , he is for what l need .
1005
01:12:32,556 --> 01:12:34,516
They'll never approve
the money otherwise .
1006
01:12:35,267 --> 01:12:36,935
Willie , Adam's an old friend of mine .
1007
01:12:37,102 --> 01:12:39,229
As l certainly know,
else l wouldn't be asking .
1008
01:12:39,396 --> 01:12:41,440
l know him and l know you .
He won't do it.
1009
01:12:41,940 --> 01:12:43,609
What's wrong with me?
1010
01:12:43,776 --> 01:12:45,944
To him , what isn't?
1011
01:12:46,111 --> 01:12:48,072
You're everything
his father fought against.
1012
01:12:48,238 --> 01:12:50,449
He hates what you represent,
if not you yourself.
1013
01:12:50,991 --> 01:12:53,494
l'm not asking him to love me .
1014
01:12:53,660 --> 01:12:55,913
-l'm asking him to run a hospital .
-Your hospital .
1015
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:59,458
The people's hospital , where any poor
redneck and nigger can get the best. . .
1016
01:12:59,625 --> 01:13:01,960
. . .without paying a dime .
He ought to like that.
1017
01:13:02,127 --> 01:13:06,382
No . What you're asking is for him
to put his family's name next to yours .
1018
01:13:06,548 --> 01:13:09,009
So you can trot him out
in front of senators and say:
1019
01:13:09,176 --> 01:13:11,553
"Lookie here ,
lookie who l got standing next to me .
1020
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:14,890
The son of the most honorable man
who ever served this state . "
1021
01:13:15,057 --> 01:13:16,809
J ust get him .
1022
01:13:24,483 --> 01:13:26,777
Not easy being the son
of a great man .
1023
01:13:28,862 --> 01:13:31,990
lt don't look so hard
for my boy Tom out there .
1024
01:13:33,784 --> 01:13:35,577
Far as you know.
1025
01:13:46,839 --> 01:13:48,632
We should go .
1026
01:13:49,842 --> 01:13:53,554
Not yet. Let's go in again .
1027
01:14:09,445 --> 01:14:12,072
The friend of your youth . . .
1028
01:14:12,614 --> 01:14:15,534
. . . is the only friend you'll ever have .
1029
01:14:15,701 --> 01:14:17,995
For he doesn't really see you .
1030
01:14:19,997 --> 01:14:24,543
He sees in his mind a face ,
which doesn't exist anymore .
1031
01:14:24,710 --> 01:14:26,545
And speaks a name--
1032
01:14:26,712 --> 01:14:32,468
Spike , Bud , Red , Rusty , Jack.
1033
01:14:32,801 --> 01:14:36,972
--that belongs
to that now-nonexistent face .
1034
01:14:38,307 --> 01:14:41,727
He's still the young idealist
you used to be .
1035
01:14:42,060 --> 01:14:45,397
Still sees good and bad
in black and white . . .
1036
01:14:45,731 --> 01:14:48,859
. . . and men as sinners or saints,
but never both .
1037
01:14:49,026 --> 01:14:52,070
-Hey , Adam .
-Feels superior in the knowledge . . .
1038
01:14:52,237 --> 01:14:54,948
. . .that you no longer
can distinguish the two .
1039
01:14:55,115 --> 01:14:57,326
-Jack.
-That's what drives you to it. . .
1040
01:14:57,493 --> 01:14:59,912
- . . .try to stick the knife in .
-Come on in .
1041
01:15:00,078 --> 01:15:03,499
For there's a kind
of snobbery in failure .
1042
01:15:03,665 --> 01:15:06,752
Like the twist
to the mouth of a drunk.
1043
01:15:09,004 --> 01:15:10,380
You're looking good , Jack.
1044
01:15:10,547 --> 01:15:12,925
Thank you .
l'll take that as a compliment.
1045
01:15:16,470 --> 01:15:18,347
Been playing much?
1046
01:15:18,722 --> 01:15:20,516
Who wants to know, my sister?
1047
01:15:20,974 --> 01:15:23,101
lt was just a question .
1048
01:15:23,936 --> 01:15:28,565
-Everything good?
-Yes , Jack, everything's good .
1049
01:15:28,857 --> 01:15:31,235
All right.
l'm gonna tell you something .
1050
01:15:31,401 --> 01:15:34,780
l don't want you to start yelling at me
until l'm finished .
1051
01:15:35,197 --> 01:15:37,074
Governor Stark
wants you as director. . .
1052
01:15:37,241 --> 01:15:39,910
. . . of the medical center he's building .
Whatever you want. . .
1053
01:15:40,452 --> 01:15:42,955
. . . all you have to do is say ,
it's yours .
1054
01:15:43,121 --> 01:15:44,623
-Money?
-l didn't say that.
1055
01:15:44,790 --> 01:15:48,460
What do l want money for?
l got everything l want. Look around .
1056
01:15:48,627 --> 01:15:49,878
l didn't say money .
1057
01:15:50,045 --> 01:15:52,881
Then what?
What's next when that doesn't work?
1058
01:15:53,048 --> 01:15:55,592
-A threat of some kind?
-Of course not.
1059
01:15:55,759 --> 01:15:58,136
That's how he gets things done?
What he relies on?
1060
01:15:58,303 --> 01:15:59,888
The bribe and the threat?
1061
01:16:00,180 --> 01:16:04,142
l would never do that to you
or let anyone else . You know that.
1062
01:16:04,643 --> 01:16:06,979
l don't know what you think
he's thinking , Jack. . .
1063
01:16:07,145 --> 01:16:10,482
. . . or what you're thinking ,
but couldn't be flattery .
1064
01:16:10,649 --> 01:16:13,735
He's thinking what he thinks about
anybody he wants something from . . .
1065
01:16:13,902 --> 01:16:16,154
- . . .who doesn't wanna give it.
-Something from their past.
1066
01:16:16,572 --> 01:16:19,616
-You just said he wasn't.
-Not their past, their weakness .
1067
01:16:19,783 --> 01:16:21,868
-Same thing .
-No , it isn't.
1068
01:16:22,035 --> 01:16:25,080
l'm not gonna debate it with you , Jack.
We're not in school anymore .
1069
01:16:25,247 --> 01:16:28,500
l don't care if you know l'm right.
l don't care if l am right. But l am .
1070
01:16:32,504 --> 01:16:35,007
Then what is it, Jack?
What is my weakness?
1071
01:16:36,466 --> 01:16:38,510
You can't look at anybody
with a thing broke . . .
1072
01:16:38,677 --> 01:16:40,262
. . .without wanting to fix it.
1073
01:16:40,429 --> 01:16:42,806
-And that's a weakness?
-Some would say .
1074
01:16:42,973 --> 01:16:44,182
You would say .
1075
01:16:45,225 --> 01:16:47,352
-lt's no disgrace .
-Well , then tell me , Jack.
1076
01:16:47,519 --> 01:16:49,521
Tell me , please .
How is that a weakness?
1077
01:16:51,023 --> 01:16:53,817
-l don't need to tell you .
-l think you do .
1078
01:16:53,984 --> 01:16:56,945
lf you don't know, l'll leave you
to think about it. lt'll come to you .
1079
01:16:57,112 --> 01:16:59,698
No , it won't, Jack.
And you'll have to go to your boss . . .
1080
01:16:59,865 --> 01:17:02,451
. . . and tell him you failed
without taking out the big guns .
1081
01:17:02,618 --> 01:17:05,871
So tell me , for your sake ,
how is that a weakness?
1082
01:17:06,038 --> 01:17:08,874
Because it makes you do things
you don't wanna do .
1083
01:17:09,041 --> 01:17:10,917
lf they're good .
1084
01:17:11,084 --> 01:17:13,837
And this is . He may not be . . .
1085
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:16,590
. . . but this is .
1086
01:17:29,978 --> 01:17:32,022
lt was good to see you , Adam .
1087
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:09,267
Now, before l tell y'all the story
about how this great university . . .
1088
01:18:09,434 --> 01:18:12,104
. . . changed the life of a boy
from Mason City . . .
1089
01:18:12,270 --> 01:18:15,399
. . .who , by all rights ,
should still be swilling hogs. . .
1090
01:18:15,649 --> 01:18:18,902
. . .first, l'm gonna set your minds at
ease on another point of interest.
1091
01:18:19,069 --> 01:18:22,280
l brung my checkbook with me .
1092
01:18:27,577 --> 01:18:30,664
-You own one share?
-l do . l just bought it.
1093
01:18:30,831 --> 01:18:32,958
Now, that gives me the right
as a stockholder. . .
1094
01:18:33,125 --> 01:18:36,837
. . .to view the company's
equity records , doesn't it?
1095
01:18:45,387 --> 01:18:47,472
Governor, sir?
1096
01:19:44,154 --> 01:19:46,072
Miss Littlepaugh?
1097
01:19:55,457 --> 01:19:57,375
You're from the insurance company .
1098
01:19:57,751 --> 01:20:00,170
No , no , l'm not.
1099
01:20:00,337 --> 01:20:02,631
But l know about your brother's
insurance policy .
1100
01:20:04,716 --> 01:20:06,718
Not that there was much left on it
to collect.
1101
01:20:06,885 --> 01:20:09,721
He borrowed against it
almost down to nothing . Didn't he?
1102
01:20:10,096 --> 01:20:12,182
Which means you lied . . .
1103
01:20:12,349 --> 01:20:14,142
. . .for almost nothing .
1104
01:20:14,518 --> 01:20:18,271
Now, don't you go
jumping out a window.
1105
01:20:19,022 --> 01:20:20,732
lt wasn't the money . . .
1106
01:20:20,899 --> 01:20:22,984
. . . it was the disgrace .
1107
01:20:23,151 --> 01:20:25,570
l wanted him buried in the good part
of the cemetery . . .
1108
01:20:26,238 --> 01:20:28,657
. . . not in the back,
with all the sinners .
1109
01:20:28,824 --> 01:20:30,951
Why did he kill himself?
1110
01:20:31,243 --> 01:20:36,248
They drove him to it.
To make room for that thief, l rwin .
1111
01:20:37,249 --> 01:20:39,584
My brother went
to the J ustice Department. . .
1112
01:20:39,751 --> 01:20:42,712
. . . and told them he knew
all about their man l rwin . . .
1113
01:20:42,879 --> 01:20:44,381
. . . and the bribes . . .
1114
01:20:44,548 --> 01:20:45,882
. . . but they wouldn't listen .
1115
01:20:48,844 --> 01:20:52,222
-Are you lying to me?
-No , that's what killed him .
1116
01:20:52,597 --> 01:20:54,891
He wrote the letter to me
and told me .
1117
01:20:55,058 --> 01:20:57,435
And then that night he . . . .
1118
01:20:58,395 --> 01:21:02,607
All right, wait. What letter?
1119
01:21:02,774 --> 01:21:05,151
The letter he wrote me
explaining it all .
1120
01:21:05,318 --> 01:21:08,738
The lawsuit l rwin was paid
to let up on . . .
1121
01:21:08,905 --> 01:21:11,116
. . . and how the power company
hid the payoffs . . .
1122
01:21:11,283 --> 01:21:15,161
. . . by firing my brother
and giving l rwin his job .
1123
01:21:16,997 --> 01:21:18,957
Where's the letter now?
What happened to it?
1124
01:21:19,124 --> 01:21:20,584
Well , l have it.
1125
01:21:21,459 --> 01:21:22,919
Kept it all this time?
1126
01:21:25,630 --> 01:21:27,883
You have the letter here?
1127
01:21:33,305 --> 01:21:35,307
You bring down the lion . . .
1128
01:21:35,473 --> 01:21:37,559
. . .the rest of the jungle
will quake in fear. . .
1129
01:21:37,726 --> 01:21:39,603
. . . and they'll all fall into line .
1130
01:21:41,646 --> 01:21:44,482
Your employer is calling you , Jack.
1131
01:21:51,031 --> 01:21:53,116
Thank you .
1132
01:22:24,689 --> 01:22:26,107
Hello .
1133
01:22:26,358 --> 01:22:28,234
Hello , Anne .
1134
01:22:32,364 --> 01:22:35,367
-What's that?
-Orange soda.
1135
01:22:35,533 --> 01:22:36,785
Two straws .
1136
01:22:37,994 --> 01:22:41,790
-l think l might want something else .
-l didn't say one of them was for you .
1137
01:22:42,540 --> 01:22:45,543
lt's the way it's drunk. Tradition .
1138
01:22:49,547 --> 01:22:53,343
-l know you went to see Adam .
-l did . What of it?
1139
01:22:53,510 --> 01:22:55,553
What did you say to him?
1140
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:59,808
l went there and l offered him a job .
No use blaming me .
1141
01:22:59,975 --> 01:23:02,560
-l'm not blaming you .
-Well , that's what it sounds like .
1142
01:23:02,727 --> 01:23:06,731
That's what you sound like .
lf you could hear yourself.
1143
01:23:06,898 --> 01:23:08,984
l want him to take it.
l want you to go back. . .
1144
01:23:09,150 --> 01:23:11,236
. . . and ask him again .
1145
01:23:11,987 --> 01:23:16,074
Jack, you know how it is .
My brother is the son of a governor. . .
1146
01:23:16,241 --> 01:23:19,035
. . .the grandson of a senator,
the great-grandson of a general .
1147
01:23:19,202 --> 01:23:24,249
She wasn't telling me anything
l didn't already know about Adam .
1148
01:23:25,083 --> 01:23:27,419
But she was doing it
walking next to me . . .
1149
01:23:27,585 --> 01:23:30,088
. . .which is all that mattered .
1150
01:23:31,131 --> 01:23:35,385
So l let her go on
as long as she wanted .
1151
01:23:37,429 --> 01:23:40,765
l knew that Adam
had already made his decision .
1152
01:23:40,932 --> 01:23:44,686
He had decided to take the job
when l first brought it up .
1153
01:23:45,395 --> 01:23:48,940
He was just putting some time
between my visit and now . . .
1154
01:23:49,107 --> 01:23:51,234
. . .out of pride .
1155
01:23:53,153 --> 01:23:55,697
He needs to do this
to be part of something himself. . .
1156
01:23:55,864 --> 01:23:57,157
. . . before he disappears .
1157
01:23:57,323 --> 01:24:00,952
But something about
what she was saying bothered me .
1158
01:24:01,286 --> 01:24:03,788
The way an off-stage noise
bothers you .
1159
01:24:03,955 --> 01:24:05,331
What kind of life is that?
1160
01:24:05,498 --> 01:24:07,125
Something you hear--
1161
01:24:07,292 --> 01:24:08,543
He's a guardian of dead men .
1162
01:24:08,710 --> 01:24:10,795
--but not clear enough
to catch the meaning of.
1163
01:24:10,962 --> 01:24:14,466
l want him to take it.
He has to do it.
1164
01:24:14,632 --> 01:24:17,052
So you push it aside .
1165
01:24:24,142 --> 01:24:26,686
l guess that's one of your gunmen
l've heard about.
1166
01:24:26,853 --> 01:24:28,104
Sugar Boy , hell , no .
1167
01:24:28,271 --> 01:24:30,482
He just carry that peashooter
for decoration .
1168
01:24:30,648 --> 01:24:33,860
l tell you one thing , though .
Ain't nobody can drive like him .
1169
01:24:37,739 --> 01:24:39,991
So , what do you think, doc?
1170
01:24:41,159 --> 01:24:43,661
l think it'll do the people of the state
some good . . .
1171
01:24:43,828 --> 01:24:46,122
. . . and get you some votes .
1172
01:24:46,331 --> 01:24:48,458
There's a lot of ways to get votes.
Cheaper ones.
1173
01:24:49,918 --> 01:24:51,669
So l understand .
1174
01:24:51,836 --> 01:24:53,713
Because there are some things
l understand .
1175
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:57,008
And some things you don't.
J ust like there's some l don't.
1176
01:24:57,175 --> 01:24:59,302
What l do know
is what makes the mare go .
1177
01:24:59,469 --> 01:25:01,805
And that you can always
make goodness out of badness .
1178
01:25:01,971 --> 01:25:04,766
-That would be two things.
-Them's the two things l know, then .
1179
01:25:04,933 --> 01:25:06,184
And both of them wrong .
1180
01:25:06,351 --> 01:25:09,646
No , neither one of them , sir.
l beg your pardon .
1181
01:25:09,813 --> 01:25:12,690
You can always make good from bad ,
in all things .
1182
01:25:13,024 --> 01:25:14,442
l n politics , poetry . . .
1183
01:25:14,609 --> 01:25:17,362
. . . everything in between .
Makes no difference .
1184
01:25:17,862 --> 01:25:20,198
A man writes a sonnet. . .
1185
01:25:20,365 --> 01:25:22,200
. . . and it's good .
1186
01:25:22,367 --> 01:25:24,119
ls it less good if it turns out. . .
1187
01:25:24,285 --> 01:25:27,038
. . .the dame he wrote it about
is married to someone else?
1188
01:25:27,205 --> 01:25:29,999
That his passion was illicit?
1189
01:25:31,167 --> 01:25:33,378
Come on ,
l wanna show you something .
1190
01:25:34,671 --> 01:25:37,924
l wouldn't mind
understanding something, actually .
1191
01:25:38,967 --> 01:25:43,263
lf, as you say , there's only bad
to start with from conception on . . .
1192
01:25:43,429 --> 01:25:45,223
. . . and that good must be made
from bad . . .
1193
01:25:45,390 --> 01:25:47,392
. . .then how do you ever know
what the good is?
1194
01:25:48,143 --> 01:25:51,604
Well , that's simple .
You just make it up as you go along .
1195
01:25:51,771 --> 01:25:53,022
Make up what?
1196
01:25:53,189 --> 01:25:55,024
The good . What else
are we talking about?
1197
01:25:55,483 --> 01:25:57,235
Make it up as you go along?
1198
01:25:57,402 --> 01:25:59,863
Yeah . J ust like folks have been doing
for a million years .
1199
01:26:00,029 --> 01:26:02,157
Since we fall out of trees,
crawl out the swamp .
1200
01:26:02,323 --> 01:26:03,908
They just cook up what is right.
1201
01:26:04,075 --> 01:26:06,619
lf nobody likes that, well ,
just cook it up again . . .
1202
01:26:06,786 --> 01:26:08,454
. . . a little different with a lid on .
1203
01:26:08,621 --> 01:26:09,873
And you know what?
1204
01:26:10,039 --> 01:26:12,584
Things under a lid
don't look no different than things. . .
1205
01:26:12,750 --> 01:26:14,586
. . . not under a lid
when there's one on it.
1206
01:26:14,752 --> 01:26:17,589
You don't have to convince me
of anything , Mr. Stark.
1207
01:26:17,755 --> 01:26:20,925
You've already done that.
l'm here , aren't l?
1208
01:26:21,342 --> 01:26:25,221
That's right.
And you're a good boy too , doc.
1209
01:26:25,388 --> 01:26:27,557
A lot better than you think.
1210
01:26:27,932 --> 01:26:30,059
So goddamn it.
1211
01:26:30,768 --> 01:26:34,772
Don't let none of them bastards
tell you no different.
1212
01:26:44,741 --> 01:26:47,785
l got a question since everybody's
trying to understand everything . . .
1213
01:26:47,952 --> 01:26:49,662
. . . all of a sudden .
1214
01:26:50,788 --> 01:26:52,040
Back when we met. . .
1215
01:26:52,874 --> 01:26:54,876
. . . at Slade's old place ,
when we shook hands--
1216
01:26:55,043 --> 01:26:56,628
Do you remember that moment?
1217
01:26:56,794 --> 01:26:58,296
Like it was yesterday .
1218
01:26:59,505 --> 01:27:02,133
Did you or did you not
give me a wink?
1219
01:27:02,550 --> 01:27:04,594
A wink?
1220
01:27:06,971 --> 01:27:10,767
Well , that's just gonna have to remain
a mystery .
1221
01:27:10,934 --> 01:27:13,478
-You don't remember.
-Sure l do .
1222
01:27:14,812 --> 01:27:16,648
Then . . . ?
1223
01:27:22,153 --> 01:27:23,821
You know, l . . . .
1224
01:27:23,988 --> 01:27:27,825
l just do recall giving you a wink.
1225
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:31,955
But then ,
maybe l got something in my eye . . .
1226
01:27:32,121 --> 01:27:34,666
. . .which would make it more
of a blink.
1227
01:27:36,334 --> 01:27:38,586
Did you have something
in your eye?
1228
01:27:39,921 --> 01:27:41,965
What if l didn't?
1229
01:27:42,548 --> 01:27:44,092
What would that mean?
1230
01:27:44,384 --> 01:27:46,010
That maybe you figured
you and me . . .
1231
01:27:46,177 --> 01:27:48,680
. . . had something in common
the others didn't.
1232
01:27:50,306 --> 01:27:55,103
Well , l'm not gonna tell you
and deprive you of the mystery .
1233
01:27:55,853 --> 01:28:00,358
There's just too few honest-to-God
mysteries left to go around .
1234
01:28:04,529 --> 01:28:07,532
And long after l'm dead and gone . . .
1235
01:28:08,283 --> 01:28:13,246
. . . and long after these sons of bitches
are dead and gone . . .
1236
01:28:13,413 --> 01:28:16,666
. . . l'm talking eternally now. . .
1237
01:28:18,209 --> 01:28:23,214
. . .the Willie Stark Hospital
will still be standing .
1238
01:28:23,715 --> 01:28:27,552
Where every man ,
woman and child . . .
1239
01:28:27,719 --> 01:28:30,722
. . .who's sick or in pain can go in . . .
1240
01:28:30,888 --> 01:28:33,683
. . . knowing they'll get
all a man can do .
1241
01:28:33,850 --> 01:28:38,438
Not as charity ,
but as a right, as your right!
1242
01:28:38,604 --> 01:28:42,817
As it is that every child
shall have a complete education !
1243
01:28:42,984 --> 01:28:48,323
That no person , aged or infirm ,
shall want or beg for bread !
1244
01:28:48,489 --> 01:28:52,327
That no poor man's land
or house will be taxed !
1245
01:28:52,493 --> 01:28:55,705
That you shall not be deprived
of hope !
1246
01:29:02,128 --> 01:29:04,714
And if any man . . .
1247
01:29:05,548 --> 01:29:08,509
. . . stands between me . . .
1248
01:29:09,093 --> 01:29:11,554
. . . and fulfilling your rights . . .
1249
01:29:11,721 --> 01:29:14,807
. . . l will strike him down . . .
1250
01:29:14,974 --> 01:29:17,602
. . . so help me God !
1251
01:29:17,769 --> 01:29:22,106
H ip , shin , thigh and neck bone ,
l will hit him .
1252
01:29:22,273 --> 01:29:24,776
l will hit him with a meat ax.
1253
01:29:24,942 --> 01:29:27,153
Somebody give me a meat ax. . .
1254
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:30,782
. . . and bring me another one
for my friend and ally !
1255
01:29:31,366 --> 01:29:35,787
Because it's not only God's only son
with us on this one .
1256
01:29:35,953 --> 01:29:39,957
lt's the son of the last
great leader of this state:
1257
01:29:40,124 --> 01:29:45,463
Governor Joe Stanton's boy ,
Dr. Adam Stanton !
1258
01:30:02,397 --> 01:30:05,650
All right. See there?
1259
01:30:05,817 --> 01:30:09,237
lt's not so bad .
lt's not gonna kill you .
1260
01:30:29,674 --> 01:30:31,384
What's up?
1261
01:30:32,385 --> 01:30:33,761
Sadie .
1262
01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:41,602
Now he's done it.
1263
01:30:43,271 --> 01:30:46,065
He's done it again ,
and l swear this time . . . .
1264
01:30:46,232 --> 01:30:48,985
-Done?
-Don't act so dumb .
1265
01:30:49,152 --> 01:30:52,363
Or any dumber than you are .
He's two-timing me again .
1266
01:30:52,530 --> 01:30:55,032
Or four or one or whatever timing
you wanna call it. . .
1267
01:30:55,199 --> 01:30:57,326
. . . because you're such a smartass .
1268
01:30:57,493 --> 01:31:00,580
-She skate?
-Shut up .
1269
01:31:00,955 --> 01:31:04,292
You and your friends .
Your highbrow friends .
1270
01:31:04,459 --> 01:31:06,669
All the money and privilege
and everything else . . .
1271
01:31:06,836 --> 01:31:11,048
. . . you pretend means nothing .
To someone with it, it means nothing .
1272
01:31:13,009 --> 01:31:15,178
Don't look so dumb .
l said it annoys me .
1273
01:31:15,344 --> 01:31:17,805
l have no idea
what you're talking about. . .
1274
01:31:17,972 --> 01:31:21,058
. . . or what it was tangled you two up
in the first place , love or hate .
1275
01:31:21,225 --> 01:31:22,727
You know what l'm talking about.
1276
01:31:22,894 --> 01:31:25,062
Maybe you fixed it up .
l'm sure you did .
1277
01:31:25,229 --> 01:31:27,398
Surely he's fixed you up ,
like that pathetic. . .
1278
01:31:27,565 --> 01:31:30,067
. . . crazy brother of hers ,
to say thanks .
1279
01:31:30,234 --> 01:31:35,114
"Thanks, Jack.
She is a looker, l do declare .
1280
01:31:35,281 --> 01:31:37,783
l'm naming you SDP ,
yes , sir.
1281
01:31:37,950 --> 01:31:40,661
State Director of Pimps. "
1282
01:31:43,539 --> 01:31:45,082
What are you saying?
1283
01:31:48,753 --> 01:31:50,588
Are you saying . . . ?
1284
01:32:01,098 --> 01:32:02,308
Thank you .
1285
01:32:05,436 --> 01:32:07,230
Are you s--?
1286
01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:18,342
l love you .
1287
01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:38,529
We're gonna walk some more .
1288
01:33:42,783 --> 01:33:44,535
All right.
1289
01:33:57,298 --> 01:33:59,008
Hello .
1290
01:33:59,175 --> 01:34:00,551
Hello , Mother.
1291
01:34:00,885 --> 01:34:03,846
Yes, Mother. Yes.
1292
01:34:08,476 --> 01:34:10,186
All right.
1293
01:34:10,603 --> 01:34:12,396
All right, Mother.
1294
01:34:12,563 --> 01:34:14,398
Goodbye .
1295
01:34:20,988 --> 01:34:23,366
She and the Peytons
and the bridge partner. . .
1296
01:34:23,532 --> 01:34:26,410
. . . are going to La Grange
for a nightcap .
1297
01:35:02,113 --> 01:35:05,449
-Jackie .
-What?
1298
01:35:07,368 --> 01:35:09,453
l came up here .
1299
01:35:27,638 --> 01:35:30,766
This was years ago ,
you understand .
1300
01:35:32,017 --> 01:35:35,479
Back when things
weren't set in concrete .
1301
01:35:37,022 --> 01:35:40,651
Back when you had a way
of changing the course of things.
1302
01:35:41,193 --> 01:35:43,154
lf you knew how .
1303
01:35:46,407 --> 01:35:48,534
She was perfect.
1304
01:35:49,660 --> 01:35:52,037
She had always been perfect.
1305
01:35:53,038 --> 01:35:55,541
l wanted to keep her that way . . .
1306
01:35:56,333 --> 01:35:58,627
. . . and like this.
1307
01:36:00,004 --> 01:36:03,007
To be young and older. . .
1308
01:36:03,674 --> 01:36:05,468
. . . somehow .
1309
01:36:10,431 --> 01:36:13,893
Of course that's not
what it looked like to her.
1310
01:36:17,313 --> 01:36:19,440
When l came home
from school at Christmas. . .
1311
01:36:19,607 --> 01:36:21,859
. . .we saw each other, of course .
1312
01:36:22,026 --> 01:36:25,362
We talked about things,
but never that.
1313
01:36:25,529 --> 01:36:28,365
We talked about love in general .
1314
01:36:28,532 --> 01:36:32,328
Like it was the subject of an essay
instead of real .
1315
01:36:33,579 --> 01:36:38,501
She said it was like jumping off
the high dive , love was.
1316
01:36:38,918 --> 01:36:41,879
Or like almost getting drowned .
1317
01:36:42,338 --> 01:36:44,173
Which , honestly ,
l didn't understand .
1318
01:36:46,050 --> 01:36:48,135
For a long time .
1319
01:36:52,389 --> 01:36:55,601
You wanna know the reason
l stopped that night?
1320
01:36:56,268 --> 01:36:58,562
lt wasn't nobility .
1321
01:36:58,729 --> 01:37:01,232
That's only what l told myself.
1322
01:37:01,607 --> 01:37:04,610
We have all the time
in the world , right?
1323
01:37:12,576 --> 01:37:15,371
lt was that l knew something
was about to be taken from us. . .
1324
01:37:16,413 --> 01:37:20,793
. . . leaving in its place
something we didn't know .
1325
01:37:22,086 --> 01:37:24,672
Which didn't make her sad . . .
1326
01:37:25,631 --> 01:37:27,591
. . . but it did me .
1327
01:37:29,593 --> 01:37:33,973
You only get a couple of moments
that determine your life .
1328
01:37:35,140 --> 01:37:37,434
Sometimes only one .
1329
01:37:38,978 --> 01:37:40,855
And then it's gone .
1330
01:37:44,108 --> 01:37:45,860
Forever.
1331
01:37:48,821 --> 01:37:51,699
l talked to Senator Loden
this morning .
1332
01:37:51,866 --> 01:37:54,785
He said you find something nice
to put on his plate . . .
1333
01:37:54,952 --> 01:37:58,247
. . . he might come around .
Vote any way you like .
1334
01:37:58,414 --> 01:38:00,416
While you cut yourself a slice .
1335
01:38:01,166 --> 01:38:03,627
-l ain't saying that.
-l know what you're saying , Tiny .
1336
01:38:03,794 --> 01:38:05,963
You know, l'd rather bust a man
than buy him .
1337
01:38:06,714 --> 01:38:11,385
-Well , that's up to you now.
-Yeah , sure is. Now go on . Get.
1338
01:38:22,605 --> 01:38:26,066
Do you have
any information for me?
1339
01:38:28,777 --> 01:38:31,447
You sure there's not something
you neglected to mention?
1340
01:38:31,614 --> 01:38:33,490
Something you forgot?
1341
01:38:35,492 --> 01:38:37,077
Jack.
1342
01:38:39,079 --> 01:38:40,539
No .
1343
01:38:41,248 --> 01:38:42,750
Nothing .
1344
01:38:44,835 --> 01:38:46,253
Nothing . Well .
1345
01:38:47,296 --> 01:38:51,175
How about that, Sugar? Nothing .
Am l alone in this?
1346
01:38:51,342 --> 01:38:53,218
The bastards
are pounding at the gate . . .
1347
01:38:53,385 --> 01:38:56,013
. . .they're gonna put a vote
of impeachment on the calendar!
1348
01:38:56,180 --> 01:38:58,515
They take that vote today , l'm out!
1349
01:39:03,687 --> 01:39:06,565
l need J udge l rwin with me .
1350
01:39:07,775 --> 01:39:10,527
Or at least not against me .
1351
01:39:16,033 --> 01:39:18,619
So whatever it is. . .
1352
01:39:18,869 --> 01:39:20,996
. . .that you don't have on him . . .
1353
01:39:25,459 --> 01:39:27,211
. . . use it.
1354
01:39:30,673 --> 01:39:33,092
l'm sorry , what did you say?
1355
01:39:33,258 --> 01:39:36,095
l said l'm going over to the judge's .
1356
01:39:36,887 --> 01:39:40,808
Well , you mean later.
He'll be napping this time of day .
1357
01:39:40,975 --> 01:39:42,893
There isn't any time
he'll wanna hear. . .
1358
01:39:43,060 --> 01:39:44,395
. . .what l have to tell him .
1359
01:39:46,146 --> 01:39:48,732
He's not well , you know.
1360
01:39:50,818 --> 01:39:52,736
l can't help that.
1361
01:39:54,113 --> 01:39:56,865
l do wish
you wouldn't get mixed up in things .
1362
01:39:57,741 --> 01:40:00,494
lt isn't me mixed up in them .
1363
01:40:01,370 --> 01:40:03,247
The judge is napping right now,
Mr. Burden .
1364
01:40:03,414 --> 01:40:05,958
l'll wait in his study
until he comes down .
1365
01:40:17,094 --> 01:40:19,680
Fire this marble .
1366
01:40:21,640 --> 01:40:24,101
Watch the chandelier.
1367
01:40:24,768 --> 01:40:26,270
Okay , you can fire .
1368
01:40:28,939 --> 01:40:32,568
Hello , Jack. l didn't know
you were at your mother's .
1369
01:40:32,735 --> 01:40:34,236
-You just get in?
-Last night.
1370
01:40:34,778 --> 01:40:38,991
Yeah . lt's a bit early in the day ,
but what do you think?
1371
01:40:39,158 --> 01:40:42,036
A touch of bourbon
never hurt anyone .
1372
01:40:42,202 --> 01:40:43,454
Least not you and me .
1373
01:40:43,662 --> 01:40:47,041
We're indestructible , aren't we ,
you and me?
1374
01:40:47,207 --> 01:40:49,877
-No , thanks .
-"No , thanks , " he says .
1375
01:40:50,294 --> 01:40:53,005
Begging the question ,
as the old man pours just one drink. . .
1376
01:40:53,172 --> 01:40:54,923
. . .what's on your mind?
1377
01:40:56,550 --> 01:40:58,302
Out with it.
1378
01:40:58,844 --> 01:41:00,679
You know who l work for.
1379
01:41:00,846 --> 01:41:02,222
How could l forget?
1380
01:41:02,639 --> 01:41:05,684
But let's just sit
and pretend that l have .
1381
01:41:05,934 --> 01:41:07,311
Come sit over here with me .
1382
01:41:19,490 --> 01:41:21,950
The truth is l don't hold
the same low opinion of him . . .
1383
01:41:22,117 --> 01:41:23,702
. . . as many of our friends
on the Row.
1384
01:41:23,869 --> 01:41:25,412
l was almost for him at one time .
1385
01:41:25,579 --> 01:41:30,542
He was busting out windowpanes
and , yeah , letting in some fresh air.
1386
01:41:30,709 --> 01:41:34,838
But now l am worried about him
knocking down the whole house .
1387
01:41:35,005 --> 01:41:37,841
So you threw in with his enemies
after you said you wouldn't.
1388
01:41:38,008 --> 01:41:39,551
Oh , Jack.
1389
01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:41,804
What is politics
but a matter of choices?
1390
01:41:41,970 --> 01:41:44,723
You make a choice knowing there's
a chance it's the wrong one .
1391
01:41:44,890 --> 01:41:48,018
You've made a choice
and you know how much it's cost you .
1392
01:41:48,185 --> 01:41:50,521
There's always a price
for everything we do .
1393
01:41:51,897 --> 01:41:54,691
When we came by that night
and were leaving . . .
1394
01:41:54,858 --> 01:41:56,443
. . . you said you would think
about it.
1395
01:41:56,610 --> 01:41:59,530
About calling off the dogs?
No , l did not say that.
1396
01:41:59,696 --> 01:42:02,533
Your memory is faulty , sir.
He said , "Think about it" . . .
1397
01:42:02,699 --> 01:42:03,951
. . .which l don't have to .
1398
01:42:04,118 --> 01:42:06,370
l don't have to think
about things l already know.
1399
01:42:06,537 --> 01:42:09,164
You should think it over.
Even now. . .
1400
01:42:09,331 --> 01:42:12,126
. . . because it's not too late .
1401
01:42:16,004 --> 01:42:17,881
Too late for what?
1402
01:42:21,885 --> 01:42:23,512
Hey , Jack.
1403
01:42:24,304 --> 01:42:25,889
Jesus .
1404
01:42:26,557 --> 01:42:29,059
-What is it?
-J ust say you'll back Stark. . .
1405
01:42:29,226 --> 01:42:30,978
- . . . against these attacks .
-No !
1406
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:39,236
Now, that has the sound of finality ,
don't it?
1407
01:42:39,403 --> 01:42:42,072
-Yes , it does .
-Yeah .
1408
01:43:12,477 --> 01:43:15,439
You know,
l find this difficult to believe .
1409
01:43:15,606 --> 01:43:17,441
For me too .
1410
01:43:18,066 --> 01:43:21,570
And that your boss would even think
he could pressure me .
1411
01:43:21,737 --> 01:43:23,238
Could blackmail me .
1412
01:43:23,447 --> 01:43:28,493
-The first word is better.
-The first word is prettier, not better.
1413
01:43:29,536 --> 01:43:34,124
Don't you know that this stuff
wouldn't stand up? Not in any court.
1414
01:43:34,291 --> 01:43:36,627
lt happened almost 25 years ago .
1415
01:43:36,793 --> 01:43:38,295
You couldn't get any testimony . . .
1416
01:43:38,962 --> 01:43:41,548
. . . except from that woman
who is related . . .
1417
01:43:41,715 --> 01:43:45,427
. . . and whose testimony ,
if she gave it. . .
1418
01:43:45,677 --> 01:43:47,721
. . .would be worthless .
1419
01:43:48,805 --> 01:43:51,475
And everybody else , Jack. . .
1420
01:43:53,060 --> 01:43:55,354
. . . everybody else is dead .
1421
01:43:56,563 --> 01:43:58,273
You're not.
1422
01:43:58,815 --> 01:44:01,818
You're not dead .
And you don't live in any court.
1423
01:44:01,985 --> 01:44:05,155
You live in the world , where people
think you're a certain kind of man .
1424
01:44:05,322 --> 01:44:07,324
l am a certain kind of man .
1425
01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:21,255
You know, when l was a kid
it seemed natural . . .
1426
01:44:21,421 --> 01:44:24,174
. . .that a grown man
would stay up nights with catgut. . .
1427
01:44:24,341 --> 01:44:28,178
. . . and steel wire , pliers and scissors ,
and make little catapults .
1428
01:44:28,345 --> 01:44:30,472
Read books about them .
1429
01:44:36,436 --> 01:44:37,854
Will you change your mind?
1430
01:44:42,317 --> 01:44:44,861
You know, l could hurt you , Jack.
1431
01:44:45,070 --> 01:44:47,364
Like you're trying to hurt me .
1432
01:44:47,864 --> 01:44:50,117
l could say something .
1433
01:44:50,701 --> 01:44:52,869
l could tell you something . . .
1434
01:44:53,036 --> 01:44:54,997
. . .that would hurt.
1435
01:45:01,503 --> 01:45:03,046
But l won't.
1436
01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:08,927
Think it over. l'll be by tomorrow.
1437
01:45:09,094 --> 01:45:11,638
My mind's made up now.
1438
01:45:13,807 --> 01:45:16,018
l'll come back tomorrow.
1439
01:45:20,397 --> 01:45:22,441
Made up now.
1440
01:45:59,144 --> 01:46:02,356
Mother. Mother.
1441
01:46:03,398 --> 01:46:07,194
-Mother. Mama.
-You ! You ! You did it!
1442
01:46:07,361 --> 01:46:09,071
-What?
-You killed him !
1443
01:46:09,237 --> 01:46:10,614
-Who?
-You killed him .
1444
01:46:10,781 --> 01:46:12,449
-Mother, who?
-You killed him .
1445
01:46:12,616 --> 01:46:14,117
- Who?
-You killed him !
1446
01:46:14,284 --> 01:46:16,161
-Who , M--?
-You killed him ! You killed him !
1447
01:46:16,328 --> 01:46:17,579
-Who , Mother?
-Your father!
1448
01:46:17,746 --> 01:46:19,081
You killed your father!
1449
01:47:07,170 --> 01:47:09,923
"l am the resurrection and the life , "
saith the Lord .
1450
01:47:10,090 --> 01:47:12,717
"He that believeth in me ,
though he were dead . . .
1451
01:47:12,884 --> 01:47:14,928
. . . yet shall he live .
1452
01:47:15,095 --> 01:47:18,181
Whosoever liveth and
believeth in me shall never die . "
1453
01:47:18,348 --> 01:47:19,808
l know that my redeemer liveth . . .
1454
01:47:19,975 --> 01:47:22,352
. . . and that he shall stand
at the latter day upon the earth .
1455
01:47:23,645 --> 01:47:27,232
And though this body be destroyed ,
yet shall l see God . . .
1456
01:47:27,399 --> 01:47:28,859
. . . and l shall see for myself. . .
1457
01:47:29,693 --> 01:47:32,821
. . . and mine eyes shall behold,
and not as a stranger.
1458
01:47:32,988 --> 01:47:35,240
We brought nothing
into this world . . .
1459
01:47:35,407 --> 01:47:38,452
. . . and it is certain
we can carry nothing out.
1460
01:48:11,359 --> 01:48:16,448
--the city of God , the holy place
of the tabernacle of the Most H ighest.
1461
01:48:17,908 --> 01:48:19,993
God is in the midst of her.
1462
01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:22,913
Therefore ,
shall she not be removed .
1463
01:48:30,629 --> 01:48:32,339
--in every good work to do his will . . .
1464
01:48:33,924 --> 01:48:35,592
. . .working in you that which
is well pleasing in his sight. . .
1465
01:48:35,759 --> 01:48:40,889
. . .through Jesus Christ to whom
be glory forever and ever. Amen .
1466
01:49:03,119 --> 01:49:05,622
l told you to scare him ,
not scare him to death .
1467
01:49:05,789 --> 01:49:09,125
-He wasn't scared .
-Then why did he do it?
1468
01:49:09,709 --> 01:49:12,295
-Jack?
-l don't wanna discuss it.
1469
01:49:12,587 --> 01:49:13,838
Well , let me just say this .
1470
01:49:14,005 --> 01:49:16,466
l know that he was some kind of
friend of the family . . .
1471
01:49:16,633 --> 01:49:19,928
. . . growing up , all that, so l'm sorry
the old bastard shot himself. . .
1472
01:49:20,095 --> 01:49:22,556
. . . but we still got MacMurphy
and his boys to deal with .
1473
01:49:22,722 --> 01:49:24,808
And that didn't work out
the way we hoped .
1474
01:49:24,975 --> 01:49:27,477
You need to get someone else
for all of it. l'm through .
1475
01:49:27,644 --> 01:49:29,896
Through with it or with me?
1476
01:49:30,230 --> 01:49:32,107
l don't wanna discuss it.
1477
01:49:38,905 --> 01:49:42,826
After any great trauma or crisis. . .
1478
01:49:43,326 --> 01:49:46,246
. . . after the shock subsides
and the nerves stop twitching . . .
1479
01:49:47,414 --> 01:49:49,874
. . .you settle down
to the new condition of things. . .
1480
01:49:50,041 --> 01:49:53,169
. . . because you know that all possibility
of any more change . . .
1481
01:49:53,336 --> 01:49:55,130
. . . has been used up .
1482
01:49:55,297 --> 01:49:57,591
You've seen the pattern finally . . .
1483
01:49:57,757 --> 01:50:01,845
. . . because you've stepped back far
enough to take in the whole picture .
1484
01:50:03,638 --> 01:50:08,059
But it's too late now to do anything
but accommodate yourself to it.
1485
01:50:08,727 --> 01:50:10,687
And that's it.
1486
01:50:11,146 --> 01:50:14,524
There's nothing left to do or say . . .
1487
01:50:14,858 --> 01:50:18,486
. . .except that God and nothing
have a lot in common .
1488
01:50:19,696 --> 01:50:21,364
The end .
1489
01:50:23,491 --> 01:50:26,494
What you don't know
is that you're wrong .
1490
01:50:30,749 --> 01:50:32,792
Oh , God , Jack.
1491
01:50:38,131 --> 01:50:39,966
You've gotta help me .
1492
01:50:40,133 --> 01:50:42,927
He's crazy . He came to see me ,
said the most terrible things . . .
1493
01:50:43,094 --> 01:50:46,389
- . . . and then he walked out.
-Who? Willie?
1494
01:50:46,556 --> 01:50:48,600
No , Adam .
1495
01:50:48,850 --> 01:50:51,227
He said it was my fault.
1496
01:50:51,394 --> 01:50:54,147
-Everything was my fault.
-Well . . . .
1497
01:50:54,314 --> 01:50:56,107
Someone called him . . .
1498
01:50:56,274 --> 01:50:58,318
. . . and told him . . .
1499
01:50:59,569 --> 01:51:01,488
. . . about me .
1500
01:51:01,988 --> 01:51:03,907
About you?
1501
01:51:05,492 --> 01:51:07,619
About you and the governor.
You can say it, Anne .
1502
01:51:07,786 --> 01:51:10,413
lt doesn't hurt any more to hear it
than to know it.
1503
01:51:11,206 --> 01:51:12,707
He told him what l'd done . . .
1504
01:51:12,874 --> 01:51:15,543
. . . and he said that l'd do anything
to help the governor. . .
1505
01:51:15,710 --> 01:51:17,629
. . . get what he wanted .
Even if that meant. . .
1506
01:51:17,796 --> 01:51:20,507
. . . sacrificing my brother
to some kind of fraud .
1507
01:51:22,258 --> 01:51:24,511
Which is all the hospital was.
1508
01:51:24,678 --> 01:51:27,597
Nothing but a scheme
to rob the state .
1509
01:51:27,764 --> 01:51:29,599
And that when the truth came out. . .
1510
01:51:29,766 --> 01:51:32,936
. . . and it would,
Adam would take the blame .
1511
01:51:33,103 --> 01:51:37,816
He'd go to prison . For every scheme
needs a fall guy and he's it.
1512
01:51:37,982 --> 01:51:41,611
-Whoever said that is lying .
-l know .
1513
01:51:41,778 --> 01:51:45,657
l tried to tell him that's not the way
it was . That he was wrong .
1514
01:51:45,824 --> 01:51:47,075
But he wouldn't listen .
1515
01:51:47,242 --> 01:51:50,704
He grabbed me and said
that he would not be made a fool .
1516
01:51:51,079 --> 01:51:53,456
That everything else
could be filthy and corrupt. . .
1517
01:51:53,623 --> 01:51:56,292
. . . but that a man didn't have to be .
1518
01:51:57,961 --> 01:52:00,338
And then he said that. . .
1519
01:52:01,798 --> 01:52:05,468
. . . he wouldn't be a paid pimp
to his sister's whore .
1520
01:52:12,559 --> 01:52:14,728
He said that to me .
1521
01:52:17,439 --> 01:52:19,232
Well , neither will l .
1522
01:52:26,990 --> 01:52:28,324
Why did you do it?
1523
01:52:28,992 --> 01:52:32,412
-You knew what it would do to me .
-lt had nothing to do with you .
1524
01:52:32,579 --> 01:52:33,955
-Then what?
-l don't know!
1525
01:52:34,122 --> 01:52:36,708
-Well , you better think of something !
-l wasn't thinking-- !
1526
01:52:36,875 --> 01:52:38,251
Yes , you were ! Yes , you were .
1527
01:52:38,418 --> 01:52:40,545
Was it because of me
or in spite of me?
1528
01:52:40,712 --> 01:52:42,422
l'd never hurt you like that.
1529
01:52:42,839 --> 01:52:45,633
You would and you have .
1530
01:52:55,393 --> 01:52:58,480
Oh , God , Jack.
You have to help me .
1531
01:53:00,482 --> 01:53:03,193
l'm afraid Adam's gonna
do something to himself.
1532
01:53:33,181 --> 01:53:34,390
Adam?
1533
01:53:50,573 --> 01:53:54,994
Dear God , you are the unseen Lord
of this chamber. . .
1534
01:53:55,787 --> 01:53:57,205
. . .the silent listener. . .
1535
01:53:57,372 --> 01:53:59,582
. . .the judge of our deliberations .
1536
01:54:00,416 --> 01:54:02,794
Bless the senators you sit among .
1537
01:54:02,961 --> 01:54:05,880
We place our trust
in your guidance .
1538
01:54:06,047 --> 01:54:07,507
You are our Lord and Savior.
1539
01:54:08,049 --> 01:54:10,009
-Amen .
-Amen .
1540
01:54:11,594 --> 01:54:14,264
All persons are commanded
to keep silent. . .
1541
01:54:14,430 --> 01:54:16,599
- . . .on pain of imprisonment. . .
-Adam !
1542
01:54:16,766 --> 01:54:19,686
. . .while the Senate
of the state of Louisiana . . .
1543
01:54:19,853 --> 01:54:24,774
. . . sits for the trial
of the articles of impeachment. . .
1544
01:54:24,941 --> 01:54:30,780
. . . against the honorable William
Stark, governor of state of Louisiana .
1545
01:54:31,489 --> 01:54:34,284
l'll go up and make some calls .
1546
01:54:39,706 --> 01:54:40,957
Anne . . .
1547
01:54:47,005 --> 01:54:49,507
. . . l'm sure it's gonna be fine .
1548
01:55:04,772 --> 01:55:07,233
-Mr. Gidr?? .
-Nay .
1549
01:55:07,442 --> 01:55:10,486
-Mr. Honor?? .
-Yea .
1550
01:55:10,653 --> 01:55:12,822
-Mr. Hobbes.
-Nay .
1551
01:55:13,865 --> 01:55:17,285
-Mr. Landmark.
-Nay .
1552
01:55:17,452 --> 01:55:20,747
-Mr. Latch?? .
-Yea.
1553
01:55:20,914 --> 01:55:24,417
-Mr. Mouton .
-Nay .
1554
01:55:24,834 --> 01:55:26,669
-Mr. Pelerant.
-Nay .
1555
01:55:28,838 --> 01:55:32,008
-Mr. Rivette .
-Yea .
1556
01:55:32,175 --> 01:55:36,179
-Mr. Rousseau .
-Nay .
1557
01:55:36,346 --> 01:55:39,098
-Mr. Savoir.
-Nay .
1558
01:55:39,682 --> 01:55:42,852
-Mr. Tesh .
-Nay .
1559
01:55:46,606 --> 01:55:50,777
Seventeen yeas, 22 nays.
1560
01:55:50,944 --> 01:55:55,323
The impeachment
of Governor Willie Stark fails.
1561
01:55:55,490 --> 01:55:59,118
There is a line between
what is acceptable and what is not.
1562
01:55:59,285 --> 01:56:02,664
Now, the governor has stepped over
that line to guide this vote . . .
1563
01:56:02,830 --> 01:56:04,999
. . . using means
that are inappropriate .
1564
01:56:05,166 --> 01:56:08,294
Now, l'll call that undue influence .
1565
01:56:08,461 --> 01:56:11,589
l'll go further, l'll call it coercion .
1566
01:56:11,756 --> 01:56:13,841
Mr. MacMurphy !
1567
01:56:17,220 --> 01:56:20,390
You say every word
but the one you mean , sir!
1568
01:56:21,140 --> 01:56:24,769
Go ahead , say it out loud .
We're all friends here .
1569
01:56:25,353 --> 01:56:30,525
But l blackmailed nobody ,
to be factual !
1570
01:56:30,692 --> 01:56:32,568
l merely gave you
the opportunity to act. . .
1571
01:56:32,735 --> 01:56:34,737
. . . in accordance
with your own nature . . .
1572
01:56:34,904 --> 01:56:40,243
. . . and like all good men ,
rise above principle .
1573
01:56:45,498 --> 01:56:47,083
Jack !
1574
01:57:14,152 --> 01:57:17,488
We did it! We did it, boy !
We stopped that clock !
1575
01:57:17,655 --> 01:57:19,282
Ain't gonna be
no impeachment today !
1576
01:57:27,373 --> 01:57:30,293
Someone called him, Adam .
1577
01:57:30,460 --> 01:57:33,588
And said that l'd do anything to
help the governor get what he wanted .
1578
01:57:33,755 --> 01:57:37,800
Even if that meant sacrificing
my brother to some kind of fraud .
1579
01:57:38,468 --> 01:57:40,511
Which is all the hospital was.
1580
01:57:40,678 --> 01:57:43,139
Nothing but a scheme
to rob the state .
1581
01:57:43,306 --> 01:57:45,266
Adam would take the blame .
1582
01:57:45,433 --> 01:57:49,979
He'd go to prison . For every scheme
needs a fall guy and he's it.
1583
01:57:53,149 --> 01:57:54,942
That's not true .
1584
01:57:56,527 --> 01:57:58,446
Whoever said that is lying .
1585
01:58:06,537 --> 01:58:09,582
Hey , doc. Where you been?
You been out there swimming?
1586
02:00:43,444 --> 02:00:46,989
So listen to me . Listen here . . .
1587
02:00:47,156 --> 02:00:48,699
. . . and lift your eyes. . .
1588
02:00:48,866 --> 02:00:53,162
. . . and look on the God's blessed
and unflyblown truth :
1589
02:00:53,329 --> 02:00:58,501
You are a hick and ain't nobody
never helped a hick but a hick hisself.
1590
02:00:58,668 --> 02:01:03,673
lt's up to you
to nail these parasites up .
1591
02:01:04,173 --> 02:01:08,386
U p to you and me and God .
1592
02:01:08,552 --> 02:01:11,597
-Nail up Joe Harrison !
-Nail him up !
1593
02:01:11,764 --> 02:01:14,350
-Nail up MacMurphy !
-Nail him up !
1594
02:01:14,517 --> 02:01:17,770
And nail up any bastard
that gets between you . . .
1595
02:01:17,937 --> 02:01:20,273
. . . and the roads and the bridges
and the schools . . .
1596
02:01:20,439 --> 02:01:24,777
. . . and the food you need .
You give me the hammer and l'll do it.
