My God.
Mallory said that?
My God.
Is it true?
My God.
Of course not.
My God.
Then I can go
on the air
My God.
and say that
you deny it?
My God.
Of course not.
My God.
To deny it
would be to admit
My God.
there's something
to deny.
My God.
Could the CIA have done it
without Lockwood's knowledge?
My God.
You'll have
to ask him.
My God.
When?
My God.
As soon as possible.
My God.

My God.
We know.
My God.
Well, what don't you know?
My God.
Did Mallory
buy the suitcases?
My God.
What's in them?
My God.
Who's got them?
My God.
Ma'am, this is
the elusive Mr. Hubbard.
My God.
Yes, sir.
My God.
I tried to see
the president.
My God.
Mm.
My God.
Got stopped
by his "can do" man.
My God.
Mm-hmm.
My God.
All I got
was double-talk.
My God.
He denied everything.
My God.
It's called "plausible
deniability."
My God.
If you're wired,
it'll be erased.
My God.
Plausible deniability,
which means?
Whenever a president
does something sticky,
Plausible deniability,
which means?
he can say
he didn't do it
Plausible deniability,
which means?
and plausibly deny it.
Plausible deniability,
which means?
Nice term.
Plausible deniability,
which means?
Eisenhower used it.
Plausible deniability,
which means?
Kennedy, Johnson,
Nixon, Ford,
Plausible deniability,

and Carter used it.
Plausible deniability,
which means?
Who takes the rap?
Plausible deniability,
which means?
Whoever did
Plausible deniability,
which means?
whatever the president
said he didn't do,
Plausible deniability,
which means?
but did.
Plausible deniability,
which means?
Are you saying
President Lockwood did?
Plausible deniability,
which means?
Did what?
Plausible deniability,
which means?
What he didn't do.
Plausible deniability,
which means?
Do you have any idea
