:32:00
Somebody's going to go down.
:32:01
Have you checked your facts?
Are you sure you're on safe ground?
:32:06
- Bill, it's time. Show our cards.
- My cards. You lose, what happens?
:32:12
Five guys find themselves out of work.
:32:14
I'm responsible for a hell of a lot more
than five goddamn reporters. Let it go.
:32:20
McCan'thy will self-destruct,
Cohn, all of them.
:32:23
Bill, you said Corporate would not interfere
with Editorial and the News...
:32:26
We don't make the news,
we report the news.
:32:29
99 percent of the time he's wrong
about the people he's...
:32:32
If he goes too far, the Senate will
investigate him and we will report on that.
:32:35
He's wrong all the time
when he oversteps civil liberties.
:32:38
You're trying him in the press.
Does he get the right to face his accuser?
:32:42
You've just decided on this
and now you're presenting it as fact.
:32:45
I write your check.
:32:46
I put you in your country house,
and I put your son through school.
:32:51
You should have told me about this
before it went so far down the road.
:33:06
Every one of your boys
needs to be clean.
:33:08
Do you understand? No ties.
:33:10
If Aarors mother so much as went
to a group fundraiser in 1932, he's out.
:33:15
Hewitt too. Anyone in that room,
you make no mistake...
:33:18
...I will cut them loose.
:33:20
Corporate won't interfere with Editorial. But
Editorial will not jeopardize the employees...
:33:26
...of the Columbia Broadcasting System.
Do I make myself clear?
:33:30
Yes?
:33:37
Fellas, our next show is gonna
be about Senator McCan'thy.
:33:41
And we"re gonna go right at him.
:33:44
I don't need to tell you how careful
we have to be.
:33:47
If we do this, Ed and I need
you to be straight with us.
:33:50
We need to know
for the good of the piece...
:33:52
...if you have any connection at all...
:33:54
...if you subscribed to a newsletter,
if you attended a party, anything.
:33:58
Anything that could compromise this,
anything at all...
