:56:03
Or I thought I did.
:56:06
Esparza- thatwas his name.
:56:09
Vincent Esparza.
:56:11
He told me theywere pushing
all the contaminants to one side.
:56:15
No treatment,
no containment.
:56:17
Just leaving it out there
forthe elements.
:56:19
And thatwas what's getting
into ourwater system.
:56:24
He even helped me plan
my surprise inspection.
:56:29
But when I got there...
:56:32
nothing but a bunch
of empty pits...
:56:36
and a workforce
with their lips buttoned.
:56:44
I felt like an idiot.
:56:46
I'd brought the press,
photographers.
:56:49
And your inside man, Esparza?.
:56:52
Gone with the wind. They said
he'd been fired months earlier.
:56:56
You got sandbagged.
:56:58
Benteen, he doesn't take any prisoners.
:57:01
He had his friend,
Senator Pilager...
:57:04
appoint a new man
at the top...
:57:06
whose only mission was
to castrate the agency.
:57:10
And who doyou think
got fired first?.
:57:13
Then they started allegations
of misuse offunds.
:57:18
There were even public hints
about a drinking problem.
:57:22
And when I tried to go back to work
as a mining engineer...
:57:25
I found out soon enough I was
all but unhireable in the industry.
:57:29
Yeah.
:57:31
And then I figured, well...
:57:34
since they accused me of
having a drinking problem...
:57:37
I just might as well develop one.
:57:43
And even with all that,
you still wouldn't-
:57:48
They don't have to worry about me,
the Pilagers.
:57:53
I know when I'm licked.
