Great!
1:15:05
I got a call from a lawyer in DC...
1:15:07
...who saw something
concerning Rosenberg and Jensen.

1:15:10
He backed out of our meeting.
I never heard from him again.

1:15:14
He gave me a phony name,
but I got his picture.

1:15:18
How?
1:15:19
Long story. If he works at one of these
law firms, he could be our confirmation.

1:15:25
I hope you find him.
1:15:28
Come with me to Washington.
1:15:32
I've had enough.
1:15:35
If you're right about Mattiece,
then there'll be a cover-up.

1:15:38
It'll probably work.
1:15:40
How do you know?
1:15:41
I called the Herald morgue last night.
1:15:44
Two years ago, a reporter
did a piece...

1:15:47
...on "Violations of
Campaign Financing Laws. "

1:15:51
He found out that, hidden under
a lot of other names of individuals...

1:15:55
...and PAC's and corporations,
Mattiece was the biggest contributor...

1:16:00
...by far...
1:16:01
...to the President's campaign.
1:16:03
We ran a picture, with the article,
of the President and Mattiece.

1:16:07
It was taken unbeknownst to either one.
1:16:10
In it, the President and Mattiece are
in front of Mattiece's hunting lodge...

1:16:14
...sipping on some bourbon,
having a good laugh.

1:16:16
The best of pals.
1:16:18
The captions said:
"The President's Most Secret...

1:16:21
...and Generous Contributor. "
1:16:25
Now if your brief is right
and it ever reaches the light of day...

1:16:29
...the President loses
any chance of reelection.

1:16:31
The men around the President
won't let that happen.

1:16:34
I checked with my sources.
The Bureau, Langley, the White House...

1:16:39
...all said the brief doesn't exist.
1:16:43
You may be the only witness to the fact
there is a brief. If you disappear...

1:16:48
...so does justice.
1:16:53
Is that what Callahan would want?
1:16:58
He'd want me to see my 25th birthday.
