...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.
1:17:04
If this thing reaches as deep
and goes as high as we think it does...

1:17:08
...they'll do anything
not to be exposed.

1:17:13
Where can you hide?
1:17:14
Go back to Washington.
1:17:25
They're all shook up
about you asking about something.

1:17:29
I expected that.
1:17:30
It's like the Gestapo over there.
Coal clears everything.

1:17:33
They put me on medical leave
for 90 days.

1:17:36
-What's wrong with you?
-I don't know.

1:17:38
One thing I do know,
I've never seen it this bad.

1:17:41
I'm worried about you, son.
1:17:48
Gray, it's Darby.
1:17:49
When you hear this, I'll be in the air
on my way to nowhere.

1:17:55
Try to understand.
1:17:58
I can 't keep you on that story.
