2:10:00
I was sorry to hear about your wife.
Yes.
2:10:05
Take out the money.
2:10:07
The president would like to know if
that was the last payment.
2:10:10
I'll bet he would.
2:10:12
Is it?
2:10:14
In Richard Nixon's long history
of underhanded dealings...
2:10:16
...he's never had better value
for his money.
2:10:19
If I were to open my mouth,
all the dominoes would fall.
2:10:24
Can I ask you a question?
2:10:26
How the hell you have the temerity to blackmail
the president of the United States?
2:10:32
Thas not the question,
John.
2:10:34
The question is,
why is he paying?
2:10:36
To protect his people.
2:10:38
I'm one of his people.
The Cubans are his people.
2:10:41
And we're going to jail
for him.
2:10:43
Howard, you will serve no more
than two years, then he'll pardon you.
2:10:47
Maybe.
Maybe not.
2:10:51
But you don't leave your men
on the beach, John.
2:10:54
You don't make them
beg for their money like thieves.
2:10:57
You don't dump men with families
who've served their country.
2:11:00
He didn't know.
This thing has gotten out of hand.
2:11:03
You think a man as controlled as Richard
Nixon would've allowed a break-in...
2:11:06
...at the Democratic National Headquarters
without knowing it?
2:11:10
You think Mitchell or Haldeman wouldn't
have run it by him at least once?
2:11:15
The presidens men
did nothing... nothing...
2:11:17
...without Richard Nixon's
permission.
2:11:24
John, sooner or later...
2:11:26
...sooner, I think...
2:11:28
You're going to learn the lesson
thas been learned...
2:11:31
...by everyone who's ever gotten close
to Richard Nixon.
2:11:34
That he's the darkness reaching out
for the darkness.
2:11:39
And eventually
is either you or him.
2:11:46
Your grave's
already been dug, John.
