00:02It's called Lewy body.
00:04Degenerative progression is slow.
00:06There is no known cure.
00:08Sam Miller, Sentinel.
00:10He's asking her about you.
00:13Dad.
00:14Emma.
00:15How are you?
00:16Can I give you a lift somewhere?
00:19How's the kid looking?
00:20Is he ready? He's ready.
00:23My friend, Governor Matt Cullen,
00:25is going back to Springfield.
00:27I want you to run for Governor.
00:29Against Matt Cullen in the primary.
00:30This toilet. This fucking thing.
00:38How does this affect O'Hare, sir?
00:40I need something to get those maggots on the city council off my back.
00:42Something to give me control over the cemetery without their oversight.
00:46Something they can't vote against.
00:47What about trash?
00:49Let the streets run with shit.
01:01Satan, your kingdom must come down.
01:07Satan, your kingdom must come down.
01:12I heard the voice of Jesus cry.
01:17Satan, your kingdom must come down.
01:50No,Proves of truth.
01:50No,Proves of truth.
01:51This is a source of death and no plan is true.
01:56Shame on us that our leaders have such little regard for the potential of our wrath, because
02:04they know we have no wrath.
02:07Games are played so brazenly, and yet we go about our lives, burying them, absorbing them,
02:11not even bothering to shrug a shoulder of them.
02:14It's Tuesday.
02:16One week of stalemate over the trash collection ordinance.
02:19One week since a procedural round of voting led to nothing in the council.
02:22One week of shit collecting on our streets.
02:27Forgive me, I'm angry.
02:32We don't know when the vote will come to the floor again.
02:35The mayor is, if anything, a man accustomed to winning.
02:38If he is holding off, it's because he does not have the numbers.
02:43Send him in.
02:44The issue of St. Johannes Cemetery being tied to the ordinance, so touted by his
02:49council opponents as an affront to the democratic process is nothing but a smokescreen.
02:54Where is our outrage?
02:56Every member of that hallowed hall should be dragged from his home in handcuffs.
03:01Where is our wrath?
03:05Public outrage.
03:08Is this Bentley?
03:11Yep.
03:12Same lines, holding pretty well at the times.
03:15How long before opinion changes?
03:17Hard to say.
03:18You're clean for now.
03:18People have lives.
03:20No time for the minutia.
03:21For them, you're trying to get things done in the face of pure obstruction.
03:25And they're paying for it with shit on the streets.
03:28Alright.
03:30Who we got where?
03:31Our block's safe, and we've peeled off most of the middle.
03:33Ross's opposition's also holding steady.
03:35Who's left?
03:36The week is shaking it down to three.
03:38We need two for a majority.
03:40Carmona?
03:41He's out.
03:42Problem's in his ward.
03:43He's going now.
03:44Richie?
03:45He's just posturing.
03:46He's got to look like he's standing up to me once in a while to please his Hyde Park
03:48independence, but he'll come around on the main vote.
03:51Where's Tony?
03:52I'll confirm.
03:54Solomon.
03:55Just late in the game.
03:56What's he playing at?
03:58I don't know, sir.
03:59He's your guy.
04:00Reel him in.
04:03Got to need to.
04:05You happy with that?
04:09Nah, me neither.
04:13One more.
04:14I don't know.
04:14I don't know.
04:17What about Alverson?
04:19Too far a swing.
04:20He thinks of himself as an independent, but he votes with Ross on almost every issue.
04:24I'll have a crack at him.
04:25Find out where he is.
04:26Rem, tell the Sarge about the vote.
04:28We're gonna make it happen tonight.
04:30Yes, sir.
04:35Tarosian's a handshake for the five million.
04:37We're heading back now.
04:38Should be at O'Hare at 8 p.m.
04:42Yeah, I thought it's...
04:44Zajac Oppo, talk to me.
04:46Blank so far.
04:47There's nothing on him in any of our databases.
04:49How far back do they go?
04:50Several decades.
04:52Alright, so we find it from scratch.
04:54When is he announcing?
04:55Tomorrow.
04:56The Hilton.
04:57I want to know all vulnerabilities.
04:58Legal, criminal, credit reports, wives, ex-wives, girlfriends, boyfriends.
05:03What rashes he's had.
05:05If he flunked class.
05:07Borrowed money.
05:08From whom, what rate.
05:09Anything he's ever said on TV, radio, print.
05:11If he's a Mac or a fucking PC, I want to know.
05:14Because I want to know every fucking thing there is to know under the sun about him.
05:18And I want you to do whatever you need to do to get it.
05:21Tomorrow, before he even opens his mouth, I want him slammed shut.
05:25Sir, are we skirting a little too close to Hatch here?
05:27Hot day.
05:28What?
05:29Hatch Act of 1939 prohibits the use of public office for partisan advocacy.
05:34Yeah, I know what fucking Hatch is.
05:36Do your fucking job.
05:37And stop using words like skirting.
05:40Fucking skirting.
05:41You have your, um...
05:55Without sound?
06:05It'll work.
06:07What about Sajak?
06:09We've got the tape.
06:10It's, uh, rough.
06:12Taken almost 20 years ago.
06:14Shot on high eight, so we had to digitize it.
06:16How does he look?
06:18It's dark, taken at night.
06:20Halstead Street outside the dormitories at U of C.
06:23You have campus police crowding him and a bunch of other students going bananas.
06:27He looks younger, but it's him.
06:29It's Sajak.
06:31How do you want to get it to Cullen?
06:35I think we just mail it to him.
06:38There is no mystery behind the experience.
06:42If it's governed by your impulse, your personal desire,
06:48if you haven't given yourself up to something you don't fully understand,
06:53what do you gain?
06:57Because you know what you lose.
07:00In your heart, you know.
07:03There is a mystery to the message of the book.
07:08A mystery and a completeness.
07:12It must be embraced as a whole.
07:16All of it, or none of it at all.
07:21In every action, in every thought,
07:27you cannot pick and choose.
07:31Where is the honesty in that?
07:34Where is belief?
07:40Yeah?
07:42Emma, can we go for a walk?
07:46It's old, taken almost 20 years ago, but it's him.
08:03We check student records.
08:04He was there at U of C.
08:06There's no report of the beating, no arrests.
08:08Nothing else, just this.
08:10Where is he?
08:12No record.
08:13Who filmed this?
08:14No record.
08:17How did you find it?
08:19It was mailed to us.
08:24This, this is a turd wrapped in a bow.
08:29What do you want to do about it?
08:31Fuck.
08:33It stinks.
08:35I got no qualms hitting him with unsubstantiated shit.
08:38In fact, unsubstantiated shit is exactly what I'd like to bury him with.
08:42But this thing, this thing doesn't feel right.
08:47If we make sure it can't be traced to us,
08:49the worst it can do is not damage him the way we want.
08:51And if it is what it looks like, Zajac is DOA.
09:04Put it out.
09:07My friend, Chief English of the Potawatomi.
09:10Representatives from the Illinois Heritage Fund,
09:12St. John's Church, and other interested parties.
09:15We are before you together today, in a sense,
09:18because history has compelled us here.
09:20We have reached an agreement for the safe transfer
09:24and permanent exhibition of the St. Johannes finds
09:27at the Chicago History Museum.
09:29I await approval from the council, and the deal is done.
09:32That's it for that.
09:33A few quick ones.
09:34Where does the city council stand on this, sir?
09:37Well, swinging straight to frustration.
09:38Unfortunately, unpredictably, they're dragging.
09:41We need a minimal ordinance to make this a reality,
09:43and I'm still waiting.
09:45All the bested parties have agreed.
09:48So, as you can see, there really is no excuse,
09:51unless some alderman are more interested in political posturing
09:54than letting the city run its business.
09:56How is the city's trash tied to the fine?
09:58Good question.
10:00And it begs another.
10:02If this here is a good thing, and certainly collecting trash is a good thing,
10:06then would somebody from that hallowed hall please tell me
10:08how tying the two together makes either of them a bad thing?
10:12I'm just trying to move here.
10:14I think those currently playing the no-game will soon come to see.
10:42You
10:42If a wife Tom your wife my wife
10:47I know what you're all thinking. Why the pictures of kids?
10:52Well, aside from it being a deft piece of photo opportunism, by some...
10:57Did you just see what you just did?
10:59There is an actual purpose.
11:01The city's board of education has graciously allocated a grant to subsidize trips
11:07to the proposed exhibition for all fourth, fifth, and sixth graders in public schools.
11:12Mr. Mayor, when do you anticipate the visits to start?
11:15As soon as the exhibit is approved and opened.
11:18Next, Bobby, you...
11:20She's good.
11:20Mr. Mayor, sir, back to the trash work.
11:26I'd like you to take a look at something.
11:28What is it?
11:29The clinic. I have trouble reading this stuff myself,
11:32but all I can tell you is that a lot of those minuses should not be minuses.
11:37So, what does it mean?
11:40The archdiocese doesn't think that it's workable.
11:43Cost-effective is what they say.
11:45Drugs are expensive.
11:47But you mean closing it?
11:50Maybe.
11:53More than maybe.
11:56Cost-effective.
11:58What about their health?
11:59You know what I would tell you.
12:01But here's what they would tell you.
12:03That our first obligation is the community's spiritual health.
12:08If attendance went up, donations with it, they might be inclined to see things differently.
12:13How?
12:14Maybe help us understand what you're saying up there.
12:18Your sermons.
12:19People need to get it.
12:21And try easing up a bit.
12:23You're not doing yourself any favors.
12:26Rigidity scares people.
12:30What?
12:30I don't know.
12:30I'm telling you this, but I'm not giving you any of my gags.
12:48I'll be right in.
12:51Yeah, uh, the, uh, presentation, the, uh, museum thing.
12:56I'm saying you're honest, fine.
12:57What I just did.
12:59I need the coverage.
13:00The raw footage.
13:01Yes, sir, which station?
13:02Annie.
13:04Chamber clerks have set the vote for 9 p.m.
13:05Good.
13:06I'll swing three.
13:08Stone spoke to Alderman Ritchie.
13:09He's a lock.
13:10What about Salamu?
13:11I'm seeing him this afternoon.
13:12What is he doing?
13:13I don't know, sir.
13:14Look, if he's jockeying, I want to know why I don't know what for.
13:18Yes, sir.
13:19You ever pulled this kind of thing when you worked his office?
13:21No.
13:21You should know his moves.
13:23Cold.
13:24Before he does himself.
13:25Yes.
13:28Okay.
13:30Alverson.
13:30He'll be at West Town Funeral Home at 3 p.m.
13:34Who died?
13:36Cal Lewis.
13:39I knew him.
13:41Used to run the 34th.
13:43For 20 years.
13:45Back in the old man's time.
13:46Gosh, he must have been what?
13:4992.
13:5392.
13:55Stone wanted me to let you know that Ross will be there as well.
13:58He thought it might be too hard to push for Alverson, given the situation.
14:04Yeah.
14:04Yeah, the situation.
14:05You know, I think it'll actually help him.
14:07Get everything out in the open.
14:10Take tiptoeing out of the equation.
14:12He's got nothing to hide.
14:16Yeah.
14:18Tell desk boy to stick it on my schedule.
14:20Yes, sir.
14:22How's our guy doing with his big announcement?
14:25Nervous.
14:26But he'll be all right.
14:26I'm headed there now.
14:28Watch him.
14:29Yes, sir.
14:34Fucking 92.
14:36Fuck you.
14:38Shocking footage surfacing today that places state treasurer Sajak at the center of a race attack.
14:44The incident is believed to have taken place 20 years ago while Mr. Sajak was a student at the University
14:49of Chicago.
14:50No word yet from the treasurer's office on the continent of the video.
14:54He is expected to announce his run against Governor McCall Cullen in the upcoming gubernatorial primary sometime later today.
15:01The tape's not vetted, so we need to make sure we're not linked morally or physically.
15:04We put it out through an anonymous blog, impossible to trace back to us.
15:07Okay, and morally?
15:08Not to say.
15:09Limits.
15:10Boundaries.
15:11For Christ's sake, yes.
15:12Don't pass judgment.
15:13Let the tape do its own thing.
15:14It's his problem.
15:15Let the press pass judgment.
15:17Don't make it personal.
15:18Personal.
15:20Governor, Sajak has been hammering you for weeks now on your integrity, on cronyism.
15:23Care to comment about the tape?
15:24I got it.
15:25Governor, he's called your honesty into question.
15:27Yes, yes, open it.
15:31Boys, boys, slow down.
15:34Slow down.
15:35All right.
15:36Obviously, I have seen the images, and I do find them troubling.
15:40I would like to say, however, that we must not rush to judgment.
15:44I am sure the treasurer, Sajak, has a good explanation for what we've all clearly seen,
15:52and this issue will be resolved pretty quickly.
15:54What do you believe the explanation could be?
15:56You see, man, that's not for me to say.
15:59Well, do you know treasurer Sajak personally, Governor?
16:02Well, we work together for the state.
16:04I've always found him to be an affable and forthright young man.
16:08What about you, sir?
16:08Governor, are you for...
16:09Now, you see, now that's the game, and you know that I'm...
16:12Has he just lost this, sir, as opposed to you winning?
16:19Let me put it this way.
16:21Those images, to me, tell only one story.
16:26It's disgusting.
16:27And it's not a good one for young Mr. Sajak.
16:31Give us more details, sir.
16:32Please give us more details, sir.
16:37Hey.
16:37Oh, man.
16:39Did he really just go that far?
16:41Disgusting young Mr. Sajak?
16:43What is this, 1953?
16:45This?
16:46This is chump bait.
16:48You know what that is?
16:48I've only been sitting here five feet away from you for the past three years.
16:52Yes, I know.
16:57Okay, what's on your mind?
16:59Honestly, you look at something like this, and you instantly just know it's bullshit.
17:02It's means that the chumps will pick it up and put it out for other chumps to feed on.
17:05Like a chump bait.
17:08And where'd they say it came from?
17:09A blog.
17:09An anonymous blog for you.
17:12Mm-hmm.
17:14Move, move, move.
17:15Never stop, never question.
17:17If he's the beast, gotta keep their attention, give them something new, bullshit, truth be damned.
17:23Truth be damned?
17:24Dude.
17:24Man, we sit here making sure everything is vetted, checked, rechecked, checked on the recheck,
17:29and along comes Mr. Happy, shiny blogger puts out what the fuck ever, and it's everywhere.
17:34Where the fuck is journalism?
17:39Chump bait.
17:40So let me see if I'm hearing this right.
17:46I, uh, brought more Cepitomol to refill his breathing device, but his packs don't fall.
17:54For thinking of him.
17:55Yeah.
17:59Yeah.
18:24So, why are you here?
18:31I got it covered.
18:34So, are you, um, are you looking for something else?
18:38Like, like last time?
18:40Or, uh, is it something else?
18:44What is it?
18:45I'm standing on my tip and toe and ain't none to it.
18:51I'm standing on my tip and toe and ain't none to it.
18:51What is it?
18:52My head saying, get him, my head saying, get him, it's got me thinking about it.
18:56I think I'm going to hit him.
19:05I think I'm going to hit him.
19:08I think I'm going to hit him.
19:09I think I'm going to hit him.
19:09I think I'm going to hit him.
19:20How'd you come across the find?
19:22We were helping the Exumers.
19:24Earth just gave away.
19:26I guess if you dig, you're going to find something.
19:32You want a bite, buddy?
19:34No, I'm okay.
19:35Are you sure?
19:35I mean, I got plenty more.
19:38Thanks.
19:39Buen provecho.
19:46Habaneros.
19:48He likes a lot of them.
19:50Yeah, me too.
19:51Me too.
19:52Just a few more questions.
19:54I know why the cemetery's been left with the work half done, but why aren't you guys working here?
20:01Most days we don't work.
20:03Most of the work's done by the, uh, trabajadores de noche.
20:08Tranquilo, chismoso.
20:09Night group?
20:10Yeah, the night crew.
20:11We come in the morning and we find these piles of dirt from them, from the night.
20:15Sometimes we bet, you know, to figure out where they're going to be next.
20:21You all right, buddy?
20:24Do you have water?
20:32Yeah, it's funky, right?
20:35Just breathe through your nose and it kind of smells like orange juice.
20:40Yeah.
20:45Let them come at you.
20:46Let them hit you with all they want.
20:49Don't rush it.
20:50Wait.
20:51Even when you think you've waited long enough, wait some more.
20:56Let them run out of steam.
20:57Only then, you come in.
21:03Okay?
21:04All right.
21:05All right.
21:31All right.
22:01Many of us, I would say all of us,
22:03who've had enough time living life encounter situations that we regret.
22:08Not all of us are given opportunities to address that regret.
22:12Maybe some way set something straight.
22:15I have an apology to make, to you.
22:20I regret that events have led us to this point, this unwarranted scrutiny.
22:25I'm seeking high public office.
22:27I expect and deserve the microscope to be placed on me.
22:30I chose this.
22:32You did not.
22:34And I am sorry that you now feel the same simply because you had the courage to come here today
22:38and let the truth be known about a traumatic moment in your life.
22:45Thank you, my friend.
22:49Thank you, John.
22:50Thank you, John.
22:58I'm going to take your best.
23:01Thank you, John.
23:04Thank you, John.
23:04Wow.
23:06How about that?
23:0820 years ago, I was a student at the University of Chicago.
23:12I lived in the dorms off Halstead Street.
23:14One night I was walking home. It was late.
23:17And I came across something that I wish I could forget.
23:20A man. This man, my friend, John, was in a fight.
23:26He was taking a vicious beating from a mob of drunk and angry young men.
23:30I was scared. I didn't know what to do.
23:33I tried to shout them off, but they turned on me too.
23:36So on impulse, I ran, and I called for campus police.
23:39By the time we got back, John was on the ground, barely conscious.
23:43I wish, I regret, that I did not do more.
23:56Moments like that have made me who I am.
24:01Chicago. I'm an Illinoisan.
24:03I know my city, and I know my state, and I know how to fight to make them better.
24:07I am proud to be running for governor for reasons like this.
24:11I know the dark side of us as well as the good.
24:14And I know that there is still much hatred that, unfortunately, courses through the veins of this city, this state,
24:20and this country.
24:22But I can fight it.
24:23What does not help, what we must all overcome, is that kind of prejudice, that rush to judgment, that political
24:29circus play that has always thrived on our fears.
24:32The kind that allows our highest state official to jump to devastating, unfounded conclusions without a thorough investigation.
24:39That will not be the case with me.
24:44Highest state official.
24:47We give him that?
24:48Could be kidding.
24:49Could be his own.
24:51Time to put out the news on Cullen.
24:56Sorry to interrupt, sir.
24:57The coverage you asked for of your exhibit presentation of the Indian find earlier.
25:08O'Hare.
25:09Yeah.
25:10I've spoken to him.
25:11They're going to pick up the pace.
25:12How long before it's done?
25:14Two, maybe three weeks.
25:15Quicker the better.
25:17Boy, this Indian thing couldn't have come at a worse time, could it?
25:20Like a giant fucking arrow saying, look at me.
25:23They're going to put on some extra security at night.
25:26Yeah.
25:32It's like the 80s around here with all these tapes, huh?
25:41I'll let you be.
26:08I do believe that those currently playing the no-game will soon come to see this.
26:25The city's Department of Education has graciously allocated a grant to subsidize trips to the proposed exhibition for all four
26:34fifth and sixth graders in public school.
26:36When do you anticipate the visitors to start?
26:39As soon as the exhibit is approved and opened, then I'll pop it here.
26:44That's Mr. Mayor, sir.
26:45Back to the transfer.
26:48Mr. Mayor, sir?
26:49Can you find my wife?
26:50Yes, sir.
26:52Well, God tell you.
26:57Hey, hon.
26:59It's Kane.
27:00I'll just be a second.
27:01Meet you in your car.
27:02Sure.
27:03Come on, boys.
27:20Come on, boys.
27:48What do you want?
28:00Is this what you want?
28:10Is this what you want?
28:41Is this what you want?
28:43Quicker than I thought.
28:45Hey, guys.
28:46What did you think of Daddy's speech?
28:47It was okay.
28:50Ruddy face, red cheek, high up a peak,
28:55in hand, held firmly his kite.
28:58The wind is there.
29:00The open air today will give it flight.
29:04He unfurls the twine, lets loose the line.
29:08It soars into the sky.
29:15And to and fro the ribbons go.
29:18This kite, it flies so high.
29:22Is that press?
29:23No. Internal promotional video for the opening of the new wing.
29:27Part of Mrs. Your wife's patronage.
29:31Would you like to join our circle?
29:33Just a few minutes. We'd be so grateful.
29:37How much water we need?
29:38Just a few minutes.
29:40But before he knows, a sharp gust blows.
29:44A kite plummets to a tree.
29:47Thanks for stepping in the way you did this morning.
29:50It's tangled there, quite mangled there.
29:53An awful sight to see.
29:56Creep of age, not getting any younger.
29:58So up he climbs, but in no time.
30:00His balance makes him wobble.
30:03The branch, it shakes, cracks, shudders, breaks.
30:08And down he comes a topple.
30:12I spoke to Emma last week.
30:17Why?
30:23Cry as he might.
30:25His beloved kite will never fly again.
30:28Why, Tom?
30:33For both the boy and his banged up toy, forever broken shall remain.
30:40Why?
30:46Just checking in.
30:47I'm gonna see if she's still breathing.
30:50All right.
30:51Enough.
30:56Even as he grows, childhood comes to a close.
31:00One thing in his eyes still burns.
31:03Up in the trees, it's all he sees.
31:07The kite for which he yearns.
31:20It's been a long time.
31:23Five years.
31:25You look well.
31:26I'm not sure why you're here, Dad.
31:28I wanted to talk to you.
31:30About what?
31:33Doing a lot of thinking lately.
31:36Been kind of forced to.
31:39I wanted to tell you about things I regret.
31:46Okay.
31:47You know, let me start over.
31:50You don't look well.
31:51It was bullshit.
31:52You look beautiful.
31:55Emma!
31:57I have to go.
31:58Wait.
31:59Wait, Emma.
31:59Maybe I could just call you.
32:01From time to time.
32:03I don't know, Dad.
32:04Emma, please.
32:05Just to talk.
32:08Please.
32:19Okay.
32:20Phone calls.
32:30Mrs. Cain.
32:31Just a...
32:31You have a quick moment?
32:33You from the hospital?
32:34No, I'm a reporter with the Sentinel, Sam Miller.
32:37I'm doing a profile on your husband, and I was wondering if you'd consider giving me an interview.
32:41You can contact my office.
32:43I have several times.
32:44I can't seem to get a response.
32:46Persevere, Mr. Miller.
32:47It'll get you places.
32:49Just a few quick questions right here.
32:51I seem to recall a man from the Sentinel orchestrating quite the embarrassing situation for me at the recent school
32:56event.
32:57Now, you guys all look the same to me, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't you.
33:04He was...cleaner looking.
33:06All right.
33:08Uh...
33:09Well, because of my lack of cleanliness, then just one question.
33:13Are you aware that your husband's been to see Dr. Harris?
33:16Dr. Ella Harris?
33:17She's a neurologist?
33:21Maybe there's something that the public should know?
33:23My husband suffers from migraines.
33:25Always has.
33:27Dr. Harris is treating him.
33:29The only news here is that he's switched doctors.
33:31And yes, I absolutely agree that the Sentinel should be reporting this kind of breaking news.
33:36It's perfect for your brand of cutting-edge journalism.
33:41Migraines.
33:44Thank you for your...time.
34:07Thank you for having me.
34:39We can meander around the issue for as long as each of us feels the situation requires
34:43us too for the sake of let's say false propriety and I figured I'd just save us both a lot
34:50of trouble the trash ordinance I'm here because I want your vote I want to end the
34:55charade tonight I don't have to go your way mr. mayor you don't have anything on
35:01me you're right I don't does Ross no no he doesn't then why do you act like he owns
35:12you like you're not your own man you have voted with him on 98% of ordinances since
35:18you joined the council that's more than party affiliation or a whip line or even
35:24an ideology what exactly is it sometimes it's good to proclaim your independence
35:34otherwise you're always just a foregone conclusion
35:40I didn't think you knew him
35:48does it matter
35:55you know I grew up on a farm
36:00one thing I learned I'll tell you this I never seen no chickens follow a turkey
36:17Alderman Solomon
36:21what are you doing Nick I remember when you first came to work for me before the big
36:27man sucked you into his orbit you didn't know a thing but I could see it in you instantly your
36:34instinct for survival took you all of what a day to figure out how that happens in this place go
36:42with
36:42Cain what do you want because I have to say not knowing what it is is making me look really
36:48bad in
36:48front of him nothing so you're voting with us or not they're even asking me that is wrong it's
36:55fucking games okay so what is this is this a sudden conflict of conscience maybe I've seen
37:00it one too many times the trash gets attached to trash this is what you taught me this is how
37:08things work wins accumulate on top of wins and form streaks remember it doesn't matter what the vote
37:14is about streaks give you capital when you're winning that's when you can do everything else
37:19spend your capital and the other things that matter
37:23if he loses this think of all the other things that are going to fall by the wayside
37:28Cain is the city and everything we do that is good for the city comes from the fact that he
37:33has
37:33the power to do it do the right thing who is knocking
38:02well this is a surprise
38:09do you want to go get something to eat wow a complete surprise why
38:20all right I'm sorry for what happened at the clinic what you told me ain't I've been thinking
38:37we have a bond right Tom yes I suppose we do for God sakes I'm not trying to play you
38:45here
38:46all right maybe you'll let me come to that conclusion on my own why have you been talking to Emma
38:55I told you
38:56do I need to remind you the danger she poses do you believe in change even if people can't circumstances
39:05do
39:15I'll tell you what I believe I believe that to preserve what we have we made a choice
39:21one that is completely outside the realm of such fluff with changing circumstances we chose to fortify
39:30ourselves against all my natural instincts and distance ourselves from our daughter I recall
39:40you being very clear to me about why this was necessary so don't sit there and waver with whatever it
39:49is
39:49you have you have going on in your head we chose we committed
39:59Emma's a liability was then is now to the life we have her behavior could not be tolerated
40:11she had to be cut loose that does not change I cannot have that change
40:28do you understand why
40:32yes
40:40is there something else I should know no
40:47there is one other thing yes who's Dr. Ella Harris

42:01He doesn't really live here. You know that.
42:06Yeah, sorry.
42:08Why don't you call him during the day, at work?
42:12Are you awake in the daytime?
42:15He came to see me. If we speak to him, we just tell him I called.
42:21Why did he want to see you?
42:22I don't know, Mom. I have to go.
42:25Do you need money? Hmm?

47:04Instant polling shows Zajac passing us in a vote-to-day matchup by ten points.
47:11Opinions are ranging.
47:13Tour de force in political births.
47:16Bad news for the incumbent Governor McCall Cullen.
47:19With his beautiful family, our hearts have been won by this vital young man.
47:28Oh, fuck.
47:30Sir, we went personal.
47:32If we try to approach this, don't.
47:35Sir?
47:38What?
47:46More footage surfacing today heating up Illinois' tightening gubernatorial primary race.
47:51The images show incumbent Governor Matt Cullen on a recent trip to Miami with a close friend.
47:57No word yet from the Governor's campaign as to the nature of this trip.
48:01So take a look.
48:02Text us, email us, and tell us what you see.
48:08Vote is started, sir.
48:10Blocks are progressing as forecasted.
48:12Where are we with our swing three?
48:14None of cash yet.
48:15Albertson's given no early indication.
48:17Solomon would say he's okay.
48:18Richie, we think he's up now.
48:29Richie's in the bag.
48:30We need two out of three.
48:32Worst case scenario, sir, if we only get one, should I hold the floor open for you to come
48:36down and break the top?
48:37I want to win this without.
48:38Yes, sir, I understand.
48:40Just a moment.
48:57Solomon, nay.
48:58Should I hold the floor for you, sir?
48:59What about Albertson?
49:01Just a moment.
49:07Albertson, sir.
49:15He just voted for you.
49:16Good.
49:24I'll talk to him tomorrow.
49:26Set him straight.
49:27We should have won this.
49:28No.
49:29What we're looking at here is that the mayor never should have lost this.
49:34And he came close.
49:37He came real close.
49:44I do believe that those currently playing the no game will soon come to see them.
49:54I do believe that those currently playing the no game will soon come to see them.
50:06I do believe that those currently playing the no game will soon come to see them.
50:15Tom?
50:22Tom?
50:33Tom.
50:34Tom.
50:45What do you want me to do?
50:55Have another all of them. See yourself out.
51:03Cal Lewis died.
51:09You should have seen him. They had him done up like a Victorian choir boy.
51:16Fucking guy was 92. I remember back when you used to run things.
51:21Now he'd conk you out from his perch at the 34. Scruples as bendable as soft plastic in everything he
51:30did.
51:31There he is lying there, flat-faced and dead. And everybody's crying like they lost some fucking saint.
51:45Man, where's that daughter of yours? I don't think I can go there. Tell her, you know?
51:52You're the one tough girl. Tougher than you. She came to me that way already. Fully formed you could say.
52:00And I have wondered many times just what you did to make her the way she is.
52:17Sir? Is it okay if I interrupt?
52:19Oh, yeah.
52:24Mayor Ruppage, I have a little snack for you.
52:26Okay. Here we go.
52:47Even under catatonic disturbance, people retain their sucking reflex. All you need to do is rub it across their licks
52:53and the reflex takes over.
53:06Well, I-I can't give him that.
53:23Will you be staying alone, sir?
53:25A little while?
53:28Y-I expenses.
