It's been worked on here and in Russia,
on and off, for over eight years.

1:46:08
I shall force someone
to take the body away from him.

1:46:11
Then Johnny will really hit
those microphones and those cameras,

1:46:15
with blood all over him,
fighting off anyone who tries to help,

1:46:18
defending America
even if it means his own death!

1:46:22
Rallying a nation of television viewers
into hysteria,

1:46:25
to sweep us up into the White House
1:46:27
with powers that will make martial law
seem like anarchy!

1:46:32
Now, this is very important.
1:46:36
I want the nominee to be dead
1:46:38
about two minutes after
he begins his acceptance speech,

1:46:41
depending on his reading time
under pressure.

1:46:44
You are to hit him right at the point
that he finishes the phrase

1:46:49
"Nor would I ask of any fellow American
in defence of his freedom

1:46:54
that which I would not
gladly give myself."

1:46:59
"My life before my liberty."
1:47:03
Is that absolutely clear?
1:47:10
Would you repeat it for me, Raymond?
1:47:13
"Nor would I ask of any fellow American
1:47:16
- in defence of his freedom
- in defence of his freedom

1:47:19
- that which I would not gladly
- that which I would not gladly give

1:47:22
- give myself."
- Myself."

1:47:24
- "My life before my liberty."
- "My life before my liberty."

1:47:41
I know you will never entirely
comprehend this, Raymond,

1:47:45
but you must believe
I did not know it would be you.

1:47:50
I served them, I fought for them,
1:47:54
I'm about to win them the greatest
foothold they will ever have here,

1:47:58
and they paid me back
by taking your soul away from you.
