Deep Throat:
What's the topic for tonight? Bob Woodward:
Ratfucking. Deep Throat:
[lights a cigarette]
In my day it was called the double-cross. In simple context, it means infiltration of the Democrats. Bob Woodward:
Segretti wouldn't cooperate, but if he would we know he would implicate Chapin. Deep Throat:
And that will put you inside the White House. Bob Woodward:
Be specific. How high up? Deep Throat:
You'll have to find that out for yourself. I'm taking great risk meeting you here. I don't like newspapers. I don't care for any inexactitudes or shallowness. Bob Woodward:
CREEP's slush fund... we've just about got that down nailed town with the rat-fucking, I don't know how... [footsteps are heard in the distance] Deep Throat:
Did you remember to change cabs before coming here? Bob Woodward:
Yeah. Does the FBI know what we know? Does the Justice Department? Why haven't they done anything? Deep Throat:
If it didn't deal directly with the Watergate break-in, they didn't pursue

What's the topic for tonight?
00:00:10.383 --> 00:00:11.794
Rat-fucking.
00:00:13.886 --> 00:00:17.009
In my day it was simply known
as the double-cross.
00:00:17.974 --> 00:00:20.002
In our present context...
00:00:21.769 --> 00:00:24.521
it means infiltration of the Democrats.
00:00:26.441 --> 00:00:28.848
Segretti won't go on the record...
00:00:29.001 --> 00:00:32.354
but if he would,
we know he would implicate Chapin.
00:00:33.865 --> 00:00:36.866
And that would put you
inside the White House.
00:00:37.702 --> 00:00:38.781
Who?
00:00:41.164 --> 00:00:42.539
Be specific.
00:00:43.666 --> 00:00:45.998
How high up?
00:00:48.379 --> 00:00:51.214
You'll have to find that out for yourself.
00:00:52.717 --> 00:00:54.674
I don't like newspapers.
00:00:56.721 --> 00:00:59.556
I don't care for inexactitude...
00:01:00.475 --> 00:01:02.997
and shallowness.
00:01:03.478 --> 00:01:06.681
The CREEP slush fund
that financed the rat-fucking...
00:01:06.773 --> 00:01:09.998
we've just about got that nailed down.
I don't know how...
00:01:09.001 --> 00:01:10.001
Did you change cabs?
00:01:18.117 --> 00:01:19.197
Yeah.
00:01:19.911 --> 00:01:22.236
Does the FBI know what we know?
00:01:26.417 --> 00:01:27.001
Does Justice?
00:01:32.001 --> 00:01:34.042
Why haven't they done anything?
00:01:35.004 --> 00:01:39.554
If it didn't deal directly with the break-in,
they didn't pursue.
00:01:40.682 --> 00:01:42.473
Who told them not to?
00:01:42.809 --> 00:01:45.514
Don't you understand what you're on to?
00:01:49.998 --> 00:01:52.102
- Mitchell knew?
- Of course Mitchell knew.
00:01:53.006 --> 00:01:55.779
Do you think something this size
just happens?
00:01:55.864 --> 00:01:57.691
Haldeman had to know, too.
00:01:57.782 --> 00:02:00.569
You'll get nothing from me
about Haldeman.
00:02:04.622 --> 00:02:06.003
Segretti said that...
00:02:06.166 --> 00:02:09.999
Don't concentrate on Segretti.
You'll miss the overall.
00:02:11.999 --> 00:02:15.999
The letter that destroyed
the Muskie candidacy...
00:02:15.001 --> 00:02:17.625
the Canuck letter,
did that come from inside the White...
00:02:17.999 --> 00:02:19.999
You're missing the overall.
00:02:19.679 --> 00:02:21.098
But what overall?
00:02:21.008 --> 00:02:24.001
They were frightened of Muskie,
and look who got destroyed.
00:02:24.476 --> 00:02:28.999
They wanted to run against McGovern.
Look who they're running against.
00:02:28.999 --> 00:02:31.999
They bugged, they followed people...
