00:00The elevated pitch is this man named Mark Felt.
00:05Who was the heir apparent to J. Edgar Hoover at the FBI and when Hoover
00:10died, Nixon put his own guy as director who was a non-FBI guy, Patrick Gray.
00:15Ex-submarine commander.
00:20In shock because there had never been an outsider and Nixon wanted to control the Justice Department.
00:25And shortly thereafter Watergate happened.
00:27The FBI was ordered to shut down that investigation.
00:30And Mark Felt made the very painful decision to leak to the Washington.
00:35Post all what was going on inside the White House.
00:38How'd I do, Pete?
00:40In a very tall building.
00:42An elevator in a very tall building.
00:43All the floors.
00:44But you hit all the floors.
00:45Oh!
00:46I didn't think of these two houses, John.
00:47Don't look for the engraving politician, Yeap in the house.
00:50As you just saw, the3000 family.
00:51As the organelles were rockers.
00:52Sohrwwitgan.org
00:53As The victim school.
00:54You see a couple years ago.
00:55Share your hand.
00:56Why you see a few shots!
00:58I might have been himself.
00:59I was toys.
01:00I was here.
01:01Well, after the mess, you find funny lines.
01:03You, I know you're like, I'm in your Wash.
01:05None-Roy No.
01:06But you're very.
01:08And that's just a story.
01:10What may have been learned in the late UN?
01:12The factory of the awkwardness anduff host.
01:13and unattended, you know. I wrote this movie 10 years ago. We made it a year ago.
01:17Liam and Peter, can you talk about
01:18what characteristics of the real mark felt you wanted to make sure really came through on?
01:23For me, it was the hair. The hair had to be accurate.
01:28He was quite charismatic, but there was still a shudder came down.
01:33He just couldn't quite read what was happening behind his eyes.
01:38And that's 30 years in the FBI, you know.
01:41When you guys were shooting this,
01:43did you find it troubling to try to avoid looking at your phone in between takes?
01:48Or anything? And read the headlines? Or what was that like for you guys?
01:53We spent most of our time looking at our phone in between takes.
01:56I did it during takes.
01:57And making fun of...
01:58You know, the idea of a Trump presidency was ludicrous.
02:01Even though it was, you know, sort of...
02:03unwilling like a bad hurricane off in the distance.
02:05But I don't think anyone really thought there was a sense that it...
02:08it was realistic.
02:09And we really sat around and traded, you know, news stories as...
02:13junkies of the madness of it all as it was boiling.
02:17And then the...
02:18The fact of the matter is I don't think any of us anticipated there would be a Trump presidency
02:21and much less be a Trump presidency where the...
02:23man fired the head of the FBI and proceeded to do all of the things that the movie's about.
02:28So surreal.
02:29It becomes ludicrous.
02:30It works.
02:31In fact, investigative journalism, I think, was invented.
02:33And Peter is an ex-investigative journalist.
02:36No man in certain...
02:38Certainly not the president is above the law.
02:40He has to be accountable.
02:43I was at the side of the facade.
02:45He's a disillusionist...
02:46He'd go on.
02:47Oh no...
02:48It doesn't mean Ïαfuntsă...
02:50Absolutely not evenlie75.
02:52What matter is in the sense of maybe he...
02:53He has to be
03:03And the love and the love...
03:08That was Trump.
03:09I have a rat-fat mechanic...
