...would you sleep on the sofa?
1:10:09
No problem.
1:10:17
Good night.
1:10:19
Listen....
1:10:21
At the risk of sounding old-fashioned...
1:10:24
...isn't it time I knew your real name?
1:10:30
Darby Shaw.
1:10:33
What made you pick me,
Darby Shaw?

1:10:38
Callahan was a fan.
1:10:50
Does the name Victor Mattiece
mean anything to you?

1:10:53
Money.
1:10:55
Power.
1:10:56
Influence.
1:10:59
He's made and lost several fortunes
drilling for oil in south Louisiana.

1:11:05
In 1979...
1:11:07
...his oil company punched some holes
in Terrebonne Parish and hit oil.

1:11:11
A lot of oil.
1:11:13
He needed governmental permission...
1:11:15
... to dredge a channel though
the marshlands to get the oil out.

1:11:20
Enter Mattiece,
the great campaign contributor...

1:11:23
...and as night follows day...
1:11:25
...government permission
to gouge through the endangered marshes.

1:11:30
Mattiece is that close
to at least a billion dollars...

1:11:33
... when Green Fund...
1:11:35
...an obscure environmental outfit...
1:11:37
... trots down to the U.S. District court
in Lafayette and files a lawsuit...

1:11:41
... to stop the entire operation.
1:11:44
Of course, Mattiece spares no expense
to win the lawsuit.

1:11:47
I don't think there's a top law firm
between Houston and New Orleans...

1:11:52
... that he hasn't hired.
1:11:54
Fucking PBS!
1:11:56
By the time the Green Fund lawyers...
1:11:59
...all two of them...
