:01:05
My God. Mallory said that?
:01:08
- Is it true?
- Of course not.
:01:09
I can go on the air
and say you deny it?
:01:12
Of course not.
:01:13
It would be to admit
there's something to deny.
:01:16
Could the CIA do it
without Lockwood's knowledge?
:01:19
- Ask him.
- When?
:01:20
As soon as possible.
:01:21
Police found one of the Arab's hands.
Couple of fingers intact.
:01:25
FBI ran the prints through a computer.
Nothing so far.
:01:28
- Last night, I saw Mallory.
- We know.
:01:31
- He said that...
- We know.
:01:33
- What don't you know?
- Did Mallory buy the suitcases?
:01:36
- What's in them?
- Who's got them?
:01:38
Ma'am,
this is the elusive Mr. Hubbard.
:01:41
Yes, sir.
:01:43
I tried to see the president.
:01:45
Got stopped by his "can do" man.
:01:48
All I got was double talk.
:01:50
- He denied everything.
- It's called "plausible deniability."
:01:55
If you're wired, it'll be erased.
:01:58
Plausible deniability, which means?
:02:01
When a president
does something sticky...
:02:03
...he can say he didn't do it
and plausibly deny it.
:02:06
- Nice term.
- Eisenhower used it.
:02:08
Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon,
Ford and Carter used it.
:02:11
Who takes the rap?
:02:13
Whoever did what the president
said he didn't do, but did.
:02:17
- Are you saying Lockwood did?
- Did what?
:02:22
What he didn't do.
:02:26
Do you have any idea how many
people hate the CIA?
:02:30
You know how many people
have tried to destroy us?
:02:33
Congressmen have tried, senators.
:02:36
Even some of our own agents
have tried.
:02:40
Your rat's just died.
:02:42
The autopsy will show it died
of a heart attack.
:02:46
That's a hell of a pen.
:02:47
Do you really think it's important
who killed King Awad?
:02:50
- Well, don't you?
- No.
:02:55
I do.
:02:57
And you're ready to go on national
television and blame the CIA?
