00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,891
Too bad.

338
00:19:07,605 --> 00:19:09,439
You can't lose.

339
00:19:11,734 --> 00:19:13,568
MOLLY: Uh, Stephen?
Mm?

340
00:19:13,736 --> 00:19:16,696
MOLLY: You have a call on Line 3.
It's your dad.

341
00:19:16,864 --> 00:19:18,490
Okay.

342
00:19:19,242 --> 00:19:21,117
You and Ben work it
into the speech.

343
00:19:21,285 --> 00:19:24,079
Get me a hard copy
and I'll write it in my own words.

344
00:19:24,247 --> 00:19:27,707
You have Charlie Rose at 6.
Right. Yeah. Why am I doing him?

345
00:19:27,875 --> 00:19:29,876
It's long-form.
He's flying in.

MORRIS:
Paul going?

347
00:19:31,254 --> 00:19:33,880
Paul won't be in,
but Ben and I will take you.

348
00:19:36,092 --> 00:19:37,968
Just don't tell me someone's died.

349
00:19:38,135 --> 00:19:39,261
DUFFY:
Hey, Steve.

350
00:19:39,428 --> 00:19:41,221
Who is this?
Tom Duffy.

351
00:19:41,389 --> 00:19:42,639
Sorry about the dad bit.

352
00:19:42,807 --> 00:19:45,600
I just figured you wouldn't
want my name called out

353
00:19:45,768 --> 00:19:48,103
at a Morris campaign office.

354
00:19:48,271 --> 00:19:50,605
What do you want?
You got a couple minutes?

355
00:19:50,773 --> 00:19:53,358
I'd like to sit down with you.
What for?

356
00:19:53,526 --> 00:19:55,068
Well, I think it's important.

357
00:19:55,236 --> 00:19:58,446
If it's important, don't you think
you should be calling Paul?

358
00:19:58,614 --> 00:20:00,115
I'm calling you.

359
00:20:03,786 --> 00:20:06,204
This is on the up-and-up.
Give me five minutes.

360
00:20:06,372 --> 00:20:08,957
I can't be talking to you.
I hear you.

361
00:20:09,125 --> 00:20:12,335
But I'm gonna be at the Head First
for the next couple hours.

362
00:20:12,503 --> 00:20:14,087
I can't, Tom.

363

There won't be anybody there.
Okay?

there's something I wanna show you.

366
00:20:40,489 --> 00:20:43,909

DUFFY:
You're working for the wrong man.

368
00:20:55,171 --> 00:20:56,212
STEVE:
You are.

369
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:59,257
DUFFY: Oh, on the contrary, you
are working for the wrong man.

370
00:20:59,425 --> 00:21:01,676
You got something
the other guys don't have.

371
00:21:01,844 --> 00:21:03,470
Oh, yeah?
What is it exactly?

372
00:21:03,638 --> 00:21:05,221
"Charm" is not
the right word.

373
00:21:05,389 --> 00:21:08,058
It is the right word.
No, it's more than that.

374
00:21:08,225 --> 00:21:10,518
You exude something.
You draw people in.

375
00:21:11,938 --> 00:21:15,357
All the reporters love you.
Even the ones that hate you love you.

376
00:21:15,524 --> 00:21:19,444
You play them like pieces on a
chessboard and make it look effortless.

377
00:21:20,321 --> 00:21:22,113
And we both know
how hard it is

378
00:21:22,281 --> 00:21:25,784
constantly being on guard,
weighing every word, every move.

379
00:21:26,702 --> 00:21:31,039
But from the outside,
you make it look easy.

380
00:21:31,207 --> 00:21:32,540
People are scared of you.

381
00:21:32,708 --> 00:21:35,961
They don't understand how you do
it, and they love you for it.

382
00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:38,630
That's the most valuable thing
in this business.

383
00:21:38,798 --> 00:21:40,799
The ability to win
people's respect

384
00:21:40,967 --> 00:21:43,802
by making them mistake
their fear for love.

385
00:21:43,970 --> 00:21:45,553
Guess what
I'm gonna say next.

386
00:21:45,721 --> 00:21:48,640
I don't think that I can.
I want you to work for us.

387
00:21:49,976 --> 00:21:52,727
What, are you kidding?
No, not in the least.

388
00:21:55,231 --> 00:21:57,065
You're gonna lose Ohio.
I am not.

389
00:21:57,233 --> 00:22:00,527
Oh, you're sitting on about
a 6-percent lead in both polls.

390
00:22:00,695 --> 00:22:02,696
Six percent
of all Democrats polled.

391
00:22:02,863 --> 00:22:05,073
Eight.
No, six. Doesn't matter.

392
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:07,909
Ohio's an open primary,
right?

393
00:22:08,077 --> 00:22:11,329
Independents and Republicans
vote on the Democratic candidate.

394
00:22:11,497 --> 00:22:13,206
Do you think they like your guy?

395
00:22:13,374 --> 00:22:18,253
A pro-choice tax-and-spend liberal?
No. Fuck, no. No, they hate him.

396
00:22:18,421 --> 00:22:20,755
They think
they can beat my guy.

397
00:22:20,923 --> 00:22:23,091
But they're very worried
about yours.

398
00:22:25,428 --> 00:22:29,431
So starting tomorrow morning,
you're gonna see a fucking blitz.

399
00:22:29,598 --> 00:22:32,100
Limbaugh, Hannity,
all those right-wing blogs

400
00:22:32,268 --> 00:22:34,561
are starting
a get-out-the-vote campaign.

401
00:22:34,729 --> 00:22:36,062
It's started already.

402
00:22:36,230 --> 00:22:39,607
Every conservative in Ohio
is gonna line up around the block

403
00:22:39,775 --> 00:22:42,736
to punch my guy's ticket,
and that's just one step.

404
00:22:42,903 --> 00:22:46,239
Ohio's gone.
Polls don't mean shit.

405
00:22:46,407 --> 00:22:48,116
Tomorrow everybody's
gonna know.

406
00:22:48,284 --> 00:22:52,203
That's why I want you to handle the
fallout that we'll have in the press.

407
00:22:54,623 --> 00:22:56,624
Oh, and we got Thompson
in the bag too.

408
00:22:57,710 --> 00:22:59,335
I know you don't have Thompson.

409
00:22:59,503 --> 00:23:01,588
No, we promised him
secretary of state.

410
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:05,425
Ohio's over.
It has been over for weeks.

411
00:23:07,261 --> 00:23:10,305
And now with
Thompson's delegates? Huh.

412
00:23:10,848 --> 00:23:14,309
I'm thinking down the road here, man.
That is why I want you.

413
00:23:14,810 --> 00:23:17,103
I can't do it.
Bring you in at the top.

414
00:23:17,271 --> 00:23:19,981
All right. I don't need
an answer right this moment.

415
00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:22,650
Look, I've played dirty.
I'm sorry to hear it.

416
00:23:22,818 --> 00:23:26,571
But I don't have to play dirty anymore.
You know why? I got Morris.

417
00:23:26,739 --> 00:23:30,158
None of this is about
the democratic process, Steve.

418
00:23:30,326 --> 00:23:33,078
This is the shit Republicans pull.
You know what?

419
00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:37,916
This is the shit the Republicans pull,
and it's time we learned from them.

420
00:23:38,084 --> 00:23:42,003
They're meaner, they're tougher,
they're more disciplined than we are.

I've been in this business
25 years.

422
00:23:44,215 --> 00:23:46,549
I've seen too many Democrats
bite the dust

423
00:23:46,717 --> 00:23:50,512
because they wouldn't get down in
the mud with the fucking elephants.

Uh, he wants something, but...

We'll be fine.
What was so important?

433
00:24:23,712 --> 00:24:26,422
Nothing. Figured it out.

00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,306
All right.
I'll be on my cell if you need me.

Good answer.

When did they do that?

Would I do it? No.

You would appoint
a judge...?

458
00:25:41,624 --> 00:25:46,336
MORRIS: I would consider it arrogant to judge
anyone until I've walked in their shoes.

459
00:25:46,503 --> 00:25:48,463
ROSE: But you're against
the death penalty?

460
00:25:48,631 --> 00:25:51,007
Because of what it says
about us as a society.

461
00:25:51,175 --> 00:25:53,176
Suppose, governor,
it was your wife.

462
00:25:53,344 --> 00:25:55,511
And she was murdered,
what would I do?

463
00:25:55,679 --> 00:25:57,680
It gets complicated
when it's personal.

Sure.
Well, if I could get to him,

465
00:26:01,268 --> 00:26:03,811
uh, I would find a way to kill him.

466
00:26:03,979 --> 00:26:07,232
So you, you, governor,
would impose a death penalty.

467
00:26:07,399 --> 00:26:11,069
No, I would commit a crime
for which I would happily go to jail.

468
00:26:11,237 --> 00:26:13,655
Then why not let
society do that?

469
00:26:13,822 --> 00:26:16,908
Because society has to be
better than the individual.

470
00:26:17,076 --> 00:26:19,077
If I were to do that,
I would be wrong.

Thirty.

505

You think I'm 30?
Sorry. How old are you?

506
00:27:59,428 --> 00:28:01,137
Thirty.

Twenty-one?

510
00:28:13,567 --> 00:28:15,610
Twenty.
Yep.

511
00:28:17,029 --> 00:28:18,654
That's young.

512
00:28:21,742 --> 00:28:24,619
Is that too young
to fuck a 30-year-old?

513
00:28:27,664 --> 00:28:29,290
Well...

514
00:28:30,292 --> 00:28:33,169
the laws are different
in different states.

515
00:28:33,337 --> 00:28:37,423
Here, at your hotel here in
Kentucky, it's frowned upon.

516
00:28:37,591 --> 00:28:38,966
Oh.

517
00:28:39,134 --> 00:28:41,469
But if we go across
the bridge into Ohio...

518
00:28:41,637 --> 00:28:43,888
Where your hotel is.
Yeah, surprisingly,

519
00:28:44,056 --> 00:28:47,141
they're very lax about their
child-endangerment laws.

520
00:28:47,309 --> 00:28:50,812
Do you have a car? I don't drive.
I took a cab.

521
00:28:57,069 --> 00:28:59,654
I have the keys
to the campaign bus.

522
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:04,325
MAN [ON TV]:
This has been tried before.

523
00:29:04,493 --> 00:29:06,619
Operation Chaos,
as Limbaugh called it,

524
00:29:06,787 --> 00:29:11,707
where Republicans voted for a Democrat
they could beat in the general election.

525
00:29:11,875 --> 00:29:14,293
We asked Senator Pullman's
campaign manager

526
00:29:14,461 --> 00:29:17,338
if he's happy getting the votes
of right-wingers.

527
00:29:17,506 --> 00:29:19,882
Is it decisive? No, of course not.

528
00:29:20,050 --> 00:29:23,094
But we believe the polls
are within the margin of error

529
00:29:23,262 --> 00:29:25,346
and that the senator
will win Ohio.

530
00:29:25,848 --> 00:29:28,057
Yeah, what time's Paul get in?

531
00:29:28,225 --> 00:29:31,811
Shit. Who do we talk to
about polling?

532
00:29:31,979 --> 00:29:36,065
I gotta get some internal polling
on the independents and wing nuts.

533
00:29:36,233 --> 00:29:37,525
Do you want me to go?

534
00:29:37,693 --> 00:29:40,361
What's that guy's name
from the Wall Street Journal?

535
00:29:40,529 --> 00:29:44,824
You sound busy. I should go.
Hold on, I'd like to talk to you.

536
00:29:44,992 --> 00:29:47,452
Adler, yeah. Get him on the line.

537

Nobody. The cleaning lady.

538
00:29:50,038 --> 00:29:53,499
Tell him we're gonna take
the same position we've always said:

539
00:29:53,667 --> 00:29:56,377
The race is a lot closer
than the polling.

540
00:29:57,796 --> 00:30:00,006
No, don't say that. Don't.

541
00:30:00,174 --> 00:30:03,885
Just get him on the line and call me.
I'll take care of it. I'm sorry.

542

Yeah.

543
00:30:07,347 --> 00:30:09,599
You called me
the cleaning lady.

544
00:30:11,226 --> 00:30:13,060
You're not mad
about that, are you?

545
00:30:13,228 --> 00:30:14,645
No, why would I be mad?
Right.

I spoke with Jack Stearns.

Oh, hey. Look.

STEARNS: I know you're looking
for a reaction, but listen.

549
00:30:20,986 --> 00:30:23,571
We have two great candidates
in a very tight race.

550
00:30:23,739 --> 00:30:26,574
And at the end of the day,
the voters will decide

551
00:30:26,742 --> 00:30:28,743
who best can
represent this party.

552
00:30:28,911 --> 00:30:30,786
But doesn't this kind disruption

553
00:30:30,954 --> 00:30:33,748
take away from what you
wanna be pushing this year?

554
00:30:33,916 --> 00:30:36,792
You're right.
Your dad is an asshole.

555
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:41,047
I'm gonna tell him you said that.
Heh. Yeah, do that.

556
00:30:41,924 --> 00:30:43,257
You wanted to talk?

557
00:30:43,425 --> 00:30:46,844
I just wanna be clear.
I don't want there to be any confusion.

558
00:30:47,012 --> 00:30:49,263
I'm not gonna tell anybody
about last night.

That'd be great.

You know how people are.
Yeah.

I like you.

I just don't want there
to be any expectations.

565

You don't have to say anything.
All right.

00:31:08,283 --> 00:31:10,618
I just don't want you
to think I'm a player.

You are kind of a player, but...

00:31:14,706 --> 00:31:17,625
I was being polite.
Bullshit.

569
00:31:17,793 --> 00:31:20,920
You were trying to pick me up.
No, I wasn't.

570
00:31:21,088 --> 00:31:23,214
You were pretty obvious about it.

I was?
Yeah.

00:31:25,592 --> 00:31:29,637
I thought I was being subtle.
No, you were pretty forward.

It's kind of slutty of me, huh?
Not at all.

I respect it in some strange way.
Good.

All right. I'll...
I'll be there in three hours.

Yeah. Trying to figure out our stops.

Governor, there's a big difference
between Paul and me.

608
00:33:42,771 --> 00:33:46,357
Paul only believes in winning,
so he'll do or say anything to win.

609
00:33:46,525 --> 00:33:47,942
But you wouldn't.

610
00:33:48,110 --> 00:33:50,486
I'll do or say anything
if I believe in it.

Well, I won't be out of this line of
work as long as you're in it, sir.
