1
00:00:06,074 --> 00:00:08,642
( ringing )

2
00:00:17,918 --> 00:00:19,887
HELLO?

3
00:00:19,987 --> 00:00:22,423
OH, HI, PATRICK.

4
00:00:25,693 --> 00:00:28,629
CAN YOU SLOW--
SLOW DOWN FOR A MINUTE?

5
00:00:32,032 --> 00:00:33,534
WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE F--

6
00:00:33,634 --> 00:00:35,469
HE FELL?

7
00:00:35,569 --> 00:00:38,639
B-B-BUT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
DAD WAS IN THE HOSPITAL.

8
00:00:40,341 --> 00:00:43,511
( sighs )
OKAY OKAY, FINE FINE.

9
00:00:43,611 --> 00:00:46,980
I'LL-- I'LL PAY
MORE ATTENTION TO HIM.

10
00:00:47,081 --> 00:00:48,649
WAIT!

11
00:00:48,749 --> 00:00:50,818
WHEN DID
THEY TRANSFER HIM?

12
00:00:52,653 --> 00:00:55,756
BUT HOW LONG
AFTER HE HAD THE FEVER?

13
00:00:57,358 --> 00:01:00,361
IT'S A FUCKING NURSING HOME.
THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT!

14
00:01:01,462 --> 00:01:03,331
OKAY OK--

15
00:01:04,598 --> 00:01:08,102
OKAY, I'M NOT YELLING
AT YOU. I'M SORRY.

16
00:01:09,437 --> 00:01:12,140
OKAY, I'LL BE THERE
ON SATURDAY.

17
00:01:21,249 --> 00:01:24,685
( theme music playing )

18
00:01:57,117 --> 00:01:59,420
WELL, YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY
ABOUT ONE THING:

19
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,756
THEY TOOK AWAY MY PHONE
AND MY BLACKBERRY.

20
00:02:02,856 --> 00:02:06,360
I HATED THOSE THINGS.

21
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:09,363
IN MY DAY AN EXEC
NEVER TYPED A NOTE.

22
00:02:09,463 --> 00:02:12,933
NEVER TOOK ONE.
NEVER CARRIED ANYTHING.

23
00:02:13,033 --> 00:02:16,570
I GUESS THAT MAKES ME
A DINOSAUR.

24
00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:22,142
- I'M GLAD YOU CAME.
- ( chuckles )

25
00:02:22,243 --> 00:02:24,512
I HOPE YOU DON'T FEEL
ANY PRESSURE TODAY.

26
00:02:24,612 --> 00:02:26,547
I MEAN, I FINALLY HAVE
THE TIME TO TALK TO YOU,

27
00:02:26,647 --> 00:02:28,816
BUT IT'S TOO LATE
FOR YOU TO HELP.

28
00:02:30,384 --> 00:02:33,554
HOW ARE
YOU HANDLING IT?

29
00:02:33,654 --> 00:02:37,558
( dryly )
OH, I'M WONDERFUL, PAUL.
ACES.

30
00:02:37,658 --> 00:02:41,229
I KNOW YOU SAID THAT YOU'RE
PAST THE POINT WHERE--

31
00:02:41,329 --> 00:02:44,064
WHERE TALKING
COULD BE OF HELP.

32
00:02:44,164 --> 00:02:48,101
BUT LONG AS YOU'RE HERE,
WHY DON'T WE--

33
00:02:48,202 --> 00:02:50,338
WHY DON'T WE TRY?

34
00:02:52,273 --> 00:02:54,508
WELL, WHAT IS THERE
TO SAY?

35
00:02:54,608 --> 00:02:59,012
I'VE LOST MY JOB, MY NAME.
I CAN'T LEAVE THE HOUSE.

36
00:02:59,112 --> 00:03:03,317
THERE'S A PACK OF REPORTERS
ON THE STREET WAITING
FOR ME TO COME OUT

37
00:03:03,417 --> 00:03:06,520
SO THEY CAN STICK MICROPHONES
AND CAMERAS IN MY FACE.

38
00:03:06,620 --> 00:03:08,989
SO COMING HERE TODAY MEANT
YOU HAD TO RUN A--

39
00:03:09,089 --> 00:03:11,725
- RUN A GAUNTLET.
- OH, I CAN HANDLE THAT.

40
00:03:11,825 --> 00:03:13,361
I TELL THEM THE TRUTH.

41
00:03:13,461 --> 00:03:15,429
I DID EVERYTHING
I WAS SUPPOSED TO,

42
00:03:15,529 --> 00:03:17,831
THAT I TOOK
THE PAGES STRAIGHT
FROM THE PLAYBOOK.

43
00:03:17,931 --> 00:03:21,602
- WHAT PLAYBOOK IS THAT?
- JOHNSON & JOHNSON,

44
00:03:21,702 --> 00:03:23,437
THE TYLENOL SCANDAL:

45
00:03:23,537 --> 00:03:25,606
SEVEN DEAD
FROM PRODUCT TAMPERING

46
00:03:25,706 --> 00:03:27,675
AND THE COMPANY HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH IT,

47
00:03:27,775 --> 00:03:30,278
BUT THEY PULLED
EVERY BOTTLE NATIONWIDE.

48
00:03:30,378 --> 00:03:32,980
IT'S STILL THE GOLD STANDARD
FOR CRISIS MANAGEMENT.

49
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,584
AT THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE,
YOU DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN

50
00:03:36,684 --> 00:03:39,720
TO INFORM
AND PROTECT THE PUBLIC
AND PROTECT YOUR NAME

51
00:03:39,820 --> 00:03:41,622
LONG TERM.

52
00:03:41,722 --> 00:03:44,592
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK
WENT WRONG?

53
00:03:44,692 --> 00:03:48,462
HERE, CONNIE LET ME READ
THIS ONE ARTICLE...

54
00:03:49,297 --> 00:03:51,699
IN THE "JOURNAL."

55
00:03:53,233 --> 00:03:55,936
UH...

56
00:03:56,036 --> 00:03:58,672
THEY CAME FLAT OUT AND SAID
I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT.

57
00:03:58,772 --> 00:04:00,674
"PLAYED BY THE RULES."

58
00:04:00,774 --> 00:04:04,912
THE ONLY THING IS THE WORLD'S
CHANGED A LOT SINCE 1982.

59
00:04:05,012 --> 00:04:08,482
IT'S MORE PREDATORY.
THE MINUTE WE ASSUMED
RESPONSIBILITY

60
00:04:08,582 --> 00:04:10,618
THE BLOGGERS,
THE PRESS,

61
00:04:10,718 --> 00:04:13,587
THE CLASS-ACTION LAWYERS
CAME AFTER US.

62
00:04:13,687 --> 00:04:16,624
THEN THE SHORT-SELLERS
HAMMERED THE STOCK DOWN

63
00:04:16,724 --> 00:04:20,794
AND THAT'S WHEN THE PARASITES
IN MY OWN COMPANY

64
00:04:20,894 --> 00:04:24,097
SAW THIS AS SOME FUCKING
OPPORTUNITY FOR THEMSELVES.

65
00:04:24,197 --> 00:04:27,368
AND THEN THE DONALDSONS
CAPITULATED.

66
00:04:27,468 --> 00:04:30,871
"A PERFECT STORM"
THEY CALLED IT.

67
00:04:30,971 --> 00:04:34,708
SO WHEN YOU'RE READING
AN ARTICLE LIKE THIS,
HOW DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL?

68
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:38,746
( sighs )

69
00:04:38,846 --> 00:04:40,314
LIKE AN OLD MAN

70
00:04:40,414 --> 00:04:43,283
WHO STAYED TOO LONG
IN THE RING.

71
00:04:43,384 --> 00:04:46,987
YOU FEEL LIKE A--
LIKE A BOXER

72
00:04:47,087 --> 00:04:49,690
WHO'S TAKEN A BEATING.

73
00:04:51,258 --> 00:04:53,994
I DROPPED
MY GUARD, PAUL.

74
00:04:54,094 --> 00:04:57,565
I DESERVE EVERYTHING
I'VE GOTTEN.

75
00:05:04,037 --> 00:05:07,408
- ARE YOU EATING?
- YEAH, I EAT WHEN I HAVE TO.

76
00:05:07,508 --> 00:05:10,378
SHREDDED WHEAT,
CHICKEN SOUP--

77
00:05:10,478 --> 00:05:12,446
THAT'S WHAT
I HAD TODAY, OKAY?

78
00:05:12,546 --> 00:05:14,181
HOW ABOUT SLEEP,
ARE YOU GETTING ANY?

79
00:05:14,281 --> 00:05:16,617
ARE YOU A THERAPIST
OR A PEDIATRICIAN?

80
00:05:18,318 --> 00:05:20,621
YEAH, I SLEEP.
THE PILLS HELP.

81
00:05:20,721 --> 00:05:23,491
HAS YOUR DOCTOR WRITTEN ANY
OTHER PRESCRIPTIONS FOR YOU?

82
00:05:23,591 --> 00:05:26,460
WELL, UNDER
NATALIE'S NAME, YEAH.

83
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,530
ANY DAY NOW THERE'LL BE
A HEADLINE IN "THE POST":

84
00:05:29,630 --> 00:05:32,666
"BABY-KILLER C.E.O.
BINGES OUT ON PILLS."

85
00:05:32,766 --> 00:05:36,136
BABY KILLER?
IS THAT HOW YOU FEEL
THAT YOU'RE BEING DEPICTED?

86
00:05:36,236 --> 00:05:39,039
WELL, I DON'T KNOW
ACTUALLY.

87
00:05:39,139 --> 00:05:42,943
MY WIFE ISN'T EVEN LETTING ME
WATCH TV EXCEPT FOR OLD MOVIES.

88
00:05:44,445 --> 00:05:47,047
I'M IN A BUNKER
WITH A REMOTE CONTROL

89
00:05:47,147 --> 00:05:49,817
AND PILLS
BY MY BEDSIDE.

90
00:05:51,719 --> 00:05:54,087
WHAT PILLS
DO YOU TAKE?

91
00:05:54,187 --> 00:05:56,223
UH... IT'S CALLED...

92
00:05:56,323 --> 00:05:58,592
KLONI-- KLOPI--
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

93
00:05:58,692 --> 00:06:00,260
WHATEVER IT IS,
IT HELPS ME SLEEP.

94
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,730
AND HOW MANY
ARE YOU TAKING?

95
00:06:02,830 --> 00:06:04,364
WELL, IT DEPENDS.

96
00:06:04,465 --> 00:06:06,867
- MAYBE THREE OR FOUR.
- A DAY?

97
00:06:06,967 --> 00:06:09,470
IS THAT THE DOSAGE THAT
DR. WELLS HAS PRESCRIBED?

98
00:06:09,570 --> 00:06:11,672
THAT'S WHAT I NEED
TO SLEEP.

99
00:06:11,772 --> 00:06:14,174
BUT YOU HAVE TO LET HIM KNOW
HOW MANY YOU'RE TAKING, WALTER.

100
00:06:14,274 --> 00:06:17,978
I MEAN, YOU'RE NOT
SOMEBODY WHO'S HAD A LOT
OF EXPOSURE TO PILLS,

101
00:06:18,078 --> 00:06:21,281
SO YOU MAY NOT
HAVE THE TOLERANCE
THAT OTHER PEOPLE DO.

102
00:06:21,381 --> 00:06:24,284
WELL, WHAT'S GONNA
HAPPEN, PAUL?

103
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:26,319
I FALL ASLEEP
AND I DON'T WAKE UP?

104
00:06:26,420 --> 00:06:29,256
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

105
00:06:29,356 --> 00:06:31,459
TAKE A PILL,
FALL ASLEEP,
NOT WAKE UP?

106
00:06:31,559 --> 00:06:33,093
NO NO,
I WANT TO WAKE UP.

107
00:06:33,193 --> 00:06:36,597
I WANT TO FIND THAT
THE LAST TWO MONTHS
WERE JUST A NIGHTMARE,

108
00:06:36,697 --> 00:06:39,266
THAT THE PIPELINE
DIDN'T GET CONTAMINATED,

109
00:06:39,366 --> 00:06:40,968
THAT THE PRESS DIDN'T
VILIFY ME,

110
00:06:41,068 --> 00:06:43,937
THAT THE PEOPLE UNDERNEATH ME
DIDN'T LIE TO ME.

111
00:06:44,037 --> 00:06:46,540
THAT'S WHAT I'D LIKE.

112
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,709
I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT
YOU MIGHT FEEL THAT WAY,

113
00:06:48,809 --> 00:06:51,945
BUT SINCE YOU KNOW THAT
THAT'S NOT THE CASE,

114
00:06:52,045 --> 00:06:55,449
HAVE YOU FOUND YOURSELF

115
00:06:55,549 --> 00:06:58,952
THINKING
THAT NOT WAKING UP

116
00:06:59,052 --> 00:07:00,688
MIGHT BE A SOLUTION?

117
00:07:00,788 --> 00:07:03,123
WHAT DO--

118
00:07:03,223 --> 00:07:05,759
OH, COME ON, PAUL!

119
00:07:05,859 --> 00:07:07,294
NO, I--

120
00:07:07,394 --> 00:07:10,297
I DON'T QUIT.
YOU KNOW ME BETTER THAN THAT.

121
00:07:10,397 --> 00:07:14,001
AND I WOULD NEVER
LEAVE A MESS LIKE THAT
FOR MY WIFE TO CLEAN UP.

122
00:07:14,101 --> 00:07:17,771
AS IT IS, SHE CAN'T
EVEN LOOK AT ME WITHOUT
BURSTING INTO TEARS.

123
00:07:17,871 --> 00:07:20,440
THAT MUST BE SOMETHING THAT
NEITHER OF YOU ARE USED TO.

124
00:07:20,541 --> 00:07:22,810
WELL, THE TEARS,
I'VE SEEN PLENTY OF THOSE.

125
00:07:22,910 --> 00:07:25,579
USUALLY RIGHT
BEFORE I CAVE IN

126
00:07:25,679 --> 00:07:29,116
AND GIVE HER THE SECOND BABY
OR THE THIRD BABY

127
00:07:29,216 --> 00:07:31,251
OR WHATEVER ELSE
SHE'S EVER WANTED.

128
00:07:31,351 --> 00:07:33,654
BUT WHAT IS NEW IS
THIS LOOK OF PITY.

129
00:07:33,754 --> 00:07:35,689
I-- IT'S JUST GOD-AWFUL.

130
00:07:35,789 --> 00:07:39,159
I TOLD HER NEVER TO LOOK
AT ME LIKE THAT AGAIN.

131
00:07:39,259 --> 00:07:41,662
YOU SURE IT'S PITY?

132
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:47,367
I MEAN, SHE'S YOUR WIFE.
YOU'VE BEEN MARRIED
FOR 44 YEARS.

133
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:49,336
SHE LOVES YOU.

134
00:07:49,436 --> 00:07:51,004
WHEN SHE SPOKE TO ME
ON THE PHONE--

135
00:07:51,104 --> 00:07:53,707
THAT'S ANOTHER THING!
I TOLD HER NEVER
TO DO THAT AGAIN.

136
00:07:53,807 --> 00:07:56,810
SHE FELT THAT THESE WERE
EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES.

137
00:07:56,910 --> 00:07:58,946
WHAT? I GOT FIRED.
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

138
00:07:59,046 --> 00:08:01,649
THE WHOLE COUNTRY'S
GETTING FRIED-- FIRED--

139
00:08:01,749 --> 00:08:03,216
FIRED!

140
00:08:04,918 --> 00:08:09,022
BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN
I GET AN ORCHESTRATED
SHOW OF COMPASSION,

141
00:08:09,122 --> 00:08:12,793
TEAMS OF PEOPLE DROPPING IN.
IT'S LIKE AN EPISODE OF
"THIS IS YOUR LIFE."

142
00:08:12,893 --> 00:08:14,795
SO IT HASN'T BEEN
A COMFORT FOR YOU TO KNOW

143
00:08:14,895 --> 00:08:16,730
HOW MUCH YOU'VE
TOUCHED THESE PEOPLE?

144
00:08:16,830 --> 00:08:18,899
IT'S BEEN EMBARRASSING.

145
00:08:18,999 --> 00:08:22,169
I TOLD HER YESTERDAY,
"THAT'S IT. I DON'T WANT
TO SEE ANYONE ELSE.

146
00:08:22,269 --> 00:08:25,773
TELL THEM I'M SICK."
I HAD TO PROMISE HER
I'D COME AND SEE YOU

147
00:08:25,873 --> 00:08:27,808
BEFORE SHE'D
GO ALONG WITH ME.

148
00:08:27,908 --> 00:08:31,111
SO BASICALLY YOU USED ME
AS A BARGAINING CHIP.
I DON'T MIND.

149
00:08:31,211 --> 00:08:34,014
LONG AS IT GOT YOU HERE.

150
00:08:36,149 --> 00:08:39,687
AND NOW WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA
TELL ME, PAUL?

151
00:08:41,021 --> 00:08:44,692
THAT LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL?
THAT NOTHING HAPPENED?

152
00:08:44,792 --> 00:08:47,294
THAT IT COULD ALL
BE A BLESSING?

153
00:08:47,394 --> 00:08:50,497
I DON'T THINK
NOTHING HAPPENED.

154
00:08:50,598 --> 00:08:53,433
ON THE CONTRARY, I IMAGINE
IT MIGHT FEEL LIKE

155
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:57,370
YOU'RE GOING THROUGH
SOME KIND OF CRUCIBLE.

156
00:08:57,470 --> 00:08:59,239
PEOPLE GIVE ME
ALL THESE NOSTRUMS,

157
00:08:59,339 --> 00:09:00,941
THIS SELF-HELP GARBAGE.

158
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:03,844
NOT WHAT YOU NEED TO HEAR
RIGHT NOW, I'M SURE.

159
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:08,515
AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE,

160
00:09:08,616 --> 00:09:11,318
DEAN LaRUE,
CAME BY THE APARTMENT

161
00:09:11,418 --> 00:09:13,053
ALL THE WAY FROM ROCHESTER.

162
00:09:13,153 --> 00:09:15,288
I DON'T KNOW WHAT CONNIE TOLD
HIM TO GET HIM THERE.

163
00:09:15,388 --> 00:09:18,425
BUT HE'S MY AGE.

164
00:09:18,525 --> 00:09:22,495
WE WERE
R.O.T.C. BUDDIES.

165
00:09:22,596 --> 00:09:25,398
TWO YEARS AGO
THEY FIRED HIM

166
00:09:25,498 --> 00:09:28,001
FROM A COMPANY
THAT HE HAD BUILT

167
00:09:28,101 --> 00:09:29,670
FROM THE GROUND UP.

168
00:09:29,770 --> 00:09:32,139
SO HE'S SOMEBODY UP HERE

169
00:09:32,239 --> 00:09:34,507
WHO'S GONE THROUGH

170
00:09:34,608 --> 00:09:37,010
- WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.
- NAW.

171
00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:39,279
HE TELLS ME
HE'S FOUND A HOBBY.

172
00:09:39,379 --> 00:09:40,714
HE'S STARTED
TAKING PICTURES--

173
00:09:40,814 --> 00:09:45,118
LANDSCAPES,
OLD FACTORIES
AND FISHING BOATS.

174
00:09:45,218 --> 00:09:47,254
THEN HE PRINTS THEM UP
AND MAKES THEM

175
00:09:47,354 --> 00:09:49,356
INTO BOOKS
AND GIVES THEM
TO HIS FRIENDS.

176
00:09:49,456 --> 00:09:51,558
HE GAVE ME ONE--

177
00:09:51,659 --> 00:09:54,928
A PHOTOGRAPHIC ESSAY
OF CENTRALIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

178
00:09:55,028 --> 00:09:57,898
IS THAT THE COAL TOWN
WITH THE UNDERGROUND FIRE?

179
00:09:59,566 --> 00:10:02,169
I'M SURE YOU WONDERED
WHY HE GAVE YOU THAT.

180
00:10:03,603 --> 00:10:05,538
NO-- WELL,
WHAT DO I CARE?

181
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:07,841
I DON'T CARE
ABOUT THAT.

182
00:10:07,941 --> 00:10:11,845
THE POINT IS,
DOES HE REALIZE
HOW STUPID HE LOOKS?

183
00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:15,315
- SO YOU DON'T BUY IT?
- IF THERE'S ONE THING
I CAN'T STAND

184
00:10:15,415 --> 00:10:17,584
IT'S PEOPLE
WHO FOOL THEMSELVES,

185
00:10:17,685 --> 00:10:21,755
LEAD FAKE LIVES,
BECOME FAKE HUMAN BEINGS.

186
00:10:21,855 --> 00:10:24,457
NOT ALWAYS
A CHOICE, WALTER,

187
00:10:24,557 --> 00:10:27,728
SO MUCH AS THE WAY
THE TWIG WAS BENT.

188
00:10:27,828 --> 00:10:30,764
I WANT TO SHAKE DEAN
AND SAY, "DON'T YOU KNOW

189
00:10:30,864 --> 00:10:34,534
EVERYBODY IS LAUGHING
AT YOU, YOU OLD FOOL?"

190
00:10:34,634 --> 00:10:36,837
I THREW THE BOOK OUT
AS SOON AS HE LEFT.

191
00:10:36,937 --> 00:10:39,707
I MEAN, WHAT THE HELL AM
I GONNA DO WITH A PICTURE

192
00:10:39,807 --> 00:10:42,475
OF SOME SMOLDERING MEADOW
WHERE A TOWN USED TO BE?

193
00:10:42,575 --> 00:10:44,644
WHAT IF HE WAS REALLY
PROUD OF THE BOOK?

194
00:10:44,745 --> 00:10:47,447
DO YOU THINK IT MIGHT HAVE
GIVEN HIM A DIFFERENT SENSE

195
00:10:47,547 --> 00:10:49,516
OF ACCOMPLISHMENT,
OF ACHIEVEMENT?

196
00:10:49,616 --> 00:10:51,919
OR BROUGHT OUT A SIDE
OF HIM THAT MAYBE HE--

197
00:10:52,019 --> 00:10:55,655
NO, PAUL.
YOU'RE A SMART MAN.
YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.

198
00:10:55,756 --> 00:10:58,391
IF THAT COMPANY CALLED HIM
BACK RIGHT NOW AND SAID,

199
00:10:58,491 --> 00:11:00,560
"HEY, WE MADE
A MISTAKE, DEAN.

200
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:04,464
WE'D LIKE TO HAVE YOU BACK,"
HE'D GO RUNNING
IN A HEARTBEAT.

201
00:11:04,564 --> 00:11:09,436
NO, THE TRUTH IS
THAT HE'S OUTLIVED
HIS USEFULNESS.

202
00:11:09,536 --> 00:11:11,438
I'VE GOT A COUPLE
OF YEARS LEFT

203
00:11:11,538 --> 00:11:13,606
TO TAKE PHOTOS
AND LICK STAMPS,

204
00:11:13,707 --> 00:11:16,043
BUT LET'S FACE IT--

205
00:11:16,143 --> 00:11:18,846
DEATH IS JUST

206
00:11:18,946 --> 00:11:21,381
THE OFFICIAL
ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

207
00:11:21,481 --> 00:11:24,217
THE SHOW'S OVER.

208
00:11:24,317 --> 00:11:27,220
SO YOU DON'T
WANT YOUR FAMILY
TO SHOW CONCERN.

209
00:11:28,555 --> 00:11:30,457
YOU DON'T WANT
FRIENDS OR A THERAPIST

210
00:11:30,557 --> 00:11:33,994
TO OFFER YOU SUPPORT
OR NOSTRUMS.

211
00:11:35,595 --> 00:11:38,832
YOUR LIFE'S OVER,
LIKE DEAN'S.

212
00:11:38,932 --> 00:11:42,602
- IS THAT WHAT YOU REALLY THINK?
- WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME, PAUL?

213
00:11:42,702 --> 00:11:44,337
BETTER YET,

214
00:11:44,437 --> 00:11:47,174
WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME
WHAT YOU THINK OF ME?

215
00:11:47,274 --> 00:11:51,178
THE FIRST TIME I WALKED
IN HERE, WHAT DID
YOU THINK I WAS?

216
00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:54,014
I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT YOU THOUGHT.

217
00:11:54,114 --> 00:11:56,249
YOU THOUGHT I WAS
A PIECE OF SHIT
WHO DIDN'T CARE

218
00:11:56,349 --> 00:11:58,685
IF HIS PRODUCTS
WERE KILLING INFANTS.

219
00:11:58,786 --> 00:12:02,355
YOU THOUGHT I WAS
GREEDY, INSENSITIVE,

220
00:12:02,455 --> 00:12:03,824
A SON OF A BITCH.

221
00:12:03,924 --> 00:12:05,959
YOU FEEL THAT I'VE JUDGED
YOU FROM THE BEGINNING?

222
00:12:06,059 --> 00:12:10,563
PAUL, I TOLD YOU
I CAN'T STAND FAKE
FUCKING HUMAN BEINGS.

223
00:12:10,663 --> 00:12:13,466
DON'T PATRONIZE ME
AND DON'T LIE TO ME.

224
00:12:13,566 --> 00:12:16,369
I'VE HAD ENOUGH
OF THAT THIS WEEK.
JUST TELL ME THE TRUTH.

225
00:12:16,469 --> 00:12:18,872
THE TRUTH IS
I'M ANGRY.

226
00:12:18,972 --> 00:12:21,775
YEAH. I'M SURPRISED
AT THAT REACTION,

227
00:12:21,875 --> 00:12:25,578
BUT I AM. I'M ANGRY
AT WHAT THEY DID TO YOU

228
00:12:25,678 --> 00:12:27,680
AND I'M ANGRY
AT THE WAY THEY DID IT.

229
00:12:27,781 --> 00:12:30,383
I THINK YOU'RE
A MAN OF INTEGRITY.

230
00:12:30,483 --> 00:12:33,253
I'M NOT GOING THROUGH
WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH,
OBVIOUSLY.

231
00:12:33,353 --> 00:12:36,523
BUT I CAN UNDERSTAND
YOUR SENSE OF ANGER,

232
00:12:36,623 --> 00:12:39,426
YOUR SENSE OF BETRAYAL.

233
00:12:46,699 --> 00:12:49,669
I TEACH--
OR TAUGHT--

234
00:12:49,769 --> 00:12:52,705
CLASSES
IN BUSINESS SCHOOLS

235
00:12:52,806 --> 00:12:55,642
ON CORPORATE
RESPONSIBILITY.

236
00:12:55,742 --> 00:12:57,577
I GUESS
THOSE DAYS ARE OVER.

237
00:12:57,677 --> 00:13:00,680
THEY'D BRING ME IN
AS A GUEST LECTURER

238
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:02,682
AND I'D LOOK
AT ALL THOSE KIDS

239
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:04,918
WHO'D ALL GONE
TO BIZ SCHOOL

240
00:13:05,018 --> 00:13:07,687
FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS,
AND I KNEW I HAD

241
00:13:07,787 --> 00:13:11,992
AN HOUR TO MAYBE REACH
ONE OR TWO OF THEM.

242
00:13:13,393 --> 00:13:16,897
TO TRY TO GET THEM
TO UNDERSTAND THAT
A COMPANY'S NAME,

243
00:13:16,997 --> 00:13:20,533
A PRODUCT'S REPUTATION
IS ALL THAT YOU HAVE.

244
00:13:20,633 --> 00:13:25,005
THAT IF YOU LOSE YOUR NAME,

245
00:13:25,105 --> 00:13:28,175
YOU'VE LOST EVERYTHING.

246
00:13:30,978 --> 00:13:33,113
DO YOU FEEL THAT
YOU'VE LOST THAT NOW?

247
00:13:33,213 --> 00:13:36,149
WELL, I DIDN'T LOSE IT.
IT WAS TAKEN FROM ME.

248
00:13:36,249 --> 00:13:39,052
YOU MEAN
BY THE DONALDSONS?

249
00:13:39,152 --> 00:13:41,554
YOU-- YOU HAVEN'T MENTIONED
THEIR PART IN ALL THIS.

250
00:13:41,654 --> 00:13:46,093
WHAT CAN YOU SAY?
MR. DONALDSON'S
OLD WORLD, LIKE ME.

251
00:13:46,193 --> 00:13:48,929
HE GOT SCARED.
I DON'T BLAME HIM.

252
00:13:49,029 --> 00:13:52,565
BUT ISN'T LOYALTY
PART OF BEING...

253
00:13:52,665 --> 00:13:54,534
OLD WORLD?

254
00:13:54,634 --> 00:13:56,536
IT'S NOT JUST
THE OLD MAN NOW.

255
00:13:56,636 --> 00:13:59,072
HE STILL HAS
HIS WITS ABOUT HIM,

256
00:13:59,172 --> 00:14:01,108
BUT THE DAUGHTERS
ARE INVOLVED

257
00:14:01,208 --> 00:14:03,510
AND THE GRANDKIDS
AND THE FUCKING LAWYERS

258
00:14:03,610 --> 00:14:05,512
AND PUNKS LIKE JACE.

259
00:14:05,612 --> 00:14:07,680
YOU KNOW, THEY PUT
HIM IN CHARGE.

260
00:14:07,780 --> 00:14:10,083
BUT YOU SAID THAT
THE FAMILY, I THINK,

261
00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:12,752
HAS A MAJORITY INTEREST
IN THE COMPANY.

262
00:14:12,852 --> 00:14:14,621
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

263
00:14:14,721 --> 00:14:19,192
SO IT WASN'T JUST THE PRESS
OR THE PARASITES WHO
FORCED YOU OUT.

264
00:14:19,292 --> 00:14:21,828
THE DONALDSONS HAD
TO GO ALONG WITH IT.

265
00:14:21,929 --> 00:14:25,899
THEY HAD--
CREDIT MARKET'S
DRYING UP.

266
00:14:25,999 --> 00:14:27,700
THE STOCK WAS
IN THE TANK--

267
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,903
WELL, EVERYBODY'S STOCK
IS IN THE TANK NOW,

268
00:14:30,003 --> 00:14:32,339
BUT THIS WAS CARNAGE.

269
00:14:32,439 --> 00:14:37,144
THE MINUTE THEY GAVE ME UP,
THE STOCK GAINED IT ALL BACK.

270
00:14:37,244 --> 00:14:39,512
HAVE YOU SPOKEN
TO THEM LATELY?

271
00:14:39,612 --> 00:14:43,250
THE OLD MAN,
HE COULD BARELY LOOK
AT ME AT THE MEETING.

272
00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:46,286
I WENT OVER
TO HIM AFTER--

273
00:14:46,386 --> 00:14:49,622
AFTERWARDS

274
00:14:49,722 --> 00:14:53,060
AND I THANKED HIM
FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES
HE'D GIVEN ME AND...

275
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,529
HE SAID,
"GOOD LUCK, WALTER."

276
00:14:56,629 --> 00:15:00,367
- THAT WAS IT.
- HOW LONG HAVE YOU
WORKED FOR THIS MAN?

277
00:15:02,502 --> 00:15:05,072
35 YEARS.

278
00:15:05,172 --> 00:15:08,708
YOU KNOW, WHEN I CAME IN,
HIS SON JAMES WAS--

279
00:15:08,808 --> 00:15:10,677
( sighs )

280
00:15:10,777 --> 00:15:12,312
WELL, HE WAS RECKLESS.

281
00:15:12,412 --> 00:15:15,115
THE OLD MAN ASKED ME
TO KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.

282
00:15:15,215 --> 00:15:17,750
JAMES WAS HIS ONLY SON.

283
00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:20,620
AND A FEW YEARS LATER,
JAMES WENT WEST

284
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,191
TO LOOK FOR SOME
NEW MARKETS.

285
00:15:24,291 --> 00:15:27,627
AND ONE NIGHT HE DROVE
HIS CAR INTO A TREE.

286
00:15:29,196 --> 00:15:32,232
RIGHT AWAY THE SHARKS
STARTED CIRCLING THE COMPANY.

287
00:15:32,332 --> 00:15:34,567
THE OLD MAN WAS
BARELY HANGING ON.

288
00:15:34,667 --> 00:15:38,171
BUT I TOLD HIM
NOT TO GIVE IN.
I PROMISED HIM

289
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,041
THAT WE WOULD BUILD
SOMETHING SPECIAL,

290
00:15:41,141 --> 00:15:43,543
AND WE DID.
WE DID.

291
00:15:43,643 --> 00:15:46,879
ARE YOU SAYING YOU TURNED HIM
INTO ONE OF THE WEALTHIEST MEN
IN THE COUNTRY?

292
00:15:46,980 --> 00:15:50,817
- I DID OKAY TOO.
- AND AFTER 35 YEARS

293
00:15:50,917 --> 00:15:53,920
ALL HE HAS TO SAY
IS GOOD LUCK?

294
00:15:54,021 --> 00:15:56,023
WELL, HE SAID
ONE OTHER THING

295
00:15:56,123 --> 00:15:57,790
BEFORE HE WISHED ME
GOOD LUCK.

296
00:15:57,890 --> 00:16:01,261
HE-- HE SAID,

297
00:16:01,361 --> 00:16:03,130
"THEY TELL ME NATALIE'S
IN RWANDA.

298
00:16:03,230 --> 00:16:05,132
WHAT THE HELL IS
SHE DOING OVER THERE?"

299
00:16:05,232 --> 00:16:06,899
WHAT DO YOU THINK
HE MEANT BY THAT?

300
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,801
I THINK THAT WAS
HIS WAY OF SAYING

301
00:16:08,901 --> 00:16:10,903
THAT I'D DUG
MY OWN GRAVE.

302
00:16:11,004 --> 00:16:12,472
HOW DO YOU MEAN?

303
00:16:12,572 --> 00:16:14,841
YOU SAID YOURSELF
LAST WEEK: IN THE MIDDLE
OF A CRISIS

304
00:16:14,941 --> 00:16:18,511
I IGNORED MY RESPONSIBILITY
TO THE DONALDSONS AND
TO THE COMPANY.

305
00:16:18,611 --> 00:16:21,914
I ALSO REMEMBER SAYING
THAT THERE WERE TWO CRISES,

306
00:16:22,015 --> 00:16:24,017
ONE WITH YOUR DAUGHTER
AND ONE HERE.

307
00:16:24,117 --> 00:16:28,121
AND WE TALKED ABOUT
THE WAY YOU EXPERIENCED
YOUR DAUGHTER'S DISTANCE,

308
00:16:28,221 --> 00:16:31,224
HOW THAT ANXIETY MIGHT
HAVE COLORED YOUR JUDGMENT.

309
00:16:31,324 --> 00:16:33,593
SO YOU'RE
AGREEING WITH ME.

310
00:16:33,693 --> 00:16:35,928
I MISREAD
BOTH SITUATIONS.

311
00:16:36,029 --> 00:16:38,898
MY JUDGMENT WAS BAD.

312
00:16:38,998 --> 00:16:42,602
PERHAPS YOUR GOING AWAY
DID CONTRIBUTE TO THIS
SITUATION EXPLODING.

313
00:16:42,702 --> 00:16:44,937
WE KNOW ON SOME LEVEL
THAT YOUR BODY HAD BEEN

314
00:16:45,038 --> 00:16:47,974
TRYING TO TELL YOU
SOMETHING WAS VERY WRONG--

315
00:16:48,075 --> 00:16:51,344
YOUR-- YOUR INSOMNIA
TO THE PANIC ATTACKS.

316
00:16:51,444 --> 00:16:53,246
BY GOING TO NATALIE
WHEN YOU DID,

317
00:16:53,346 --> 00:16:56,249
YOU WERE TRYING TO BRING
THIS CRISIS TO A HEAD.

318
00:16:58,918 --> 00:17:03,523
NO, IT WAS ALREADY
PAST THAT POINT.

319
00:17:03,623 --> 00:17:07,160
JACE WAS A CANCER I SHOULD
HAVE CUT OUT LONG AGO.

320
00:17:07,260 --> 00:17:10,563
I TRUSTED
THE WRONG PEOPLE,

321
00:17:10,663 --> 00:17:12,932
THE WRONG LABS.

322
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:15,135
UNDER MY WATCH

323
00:17:15,235 --> 00:17:18,905
THIS-- THIS POISON GOT
INTO THE PIPELINE

324
00:17:19,005 --> 00:17:20,540
AND ONTO THE SHELVES.

325
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,042
BUT YOU ISSUED A RECALL
THE MINUTE YOU FOUND OUT.

326
00:17:23,143 --> 00:17:25,078
WELL...

327
00:17:25,178 --> 00:17:28,315
THE PAPERS--
THE ONES MY WIFE
WON'T LET ME READ--

328
00:17:28,415 --> 00:17:31,984
THEY'RE-- THEY'RE ALL
SAYING KIDS DIED

329
00:17:32,085 --> 00:17:33,753
AND IT WAS MY FAULT.

330
00:17:33,853 --> 00:17:38,758
- IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK?
- NATALIE THINKS SO TOO.

331
00:17:38,858 --> 00:17:41,194
WHEN SHE EMAILED
CONNIE YOU COULD TELL
SHE THOUGHT I WAS

332
00:17:41,294 --> 00:17:44,697
SOME SORT OF
CORPORATE CRIMINAL.

333
00:17:44,797 --> 00:17:46,933
YOU SAID I THINK YOU'RE GUILTY,
THE PAPERS THINK SO,

334
00:17:47,033 --> 00:17:50,303
- NOW YOU'RE SAYING NATALIE--
- IT'S NOT PARANOIA, PAUL,

335
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:52,172
IF THAT'S WHERE
YOU'RE GOING.

336
00:17:52,272 --> 00:17:54,574
PART OF YOU BELIEVES YOU DID
EVERYTHING THAT YOU COULD

337
00:17:54,674 --> 00:17:57,310
PROPERLY AND PART OF YOU
IS PUNISHING YOURSELF

338
00:17:57,410 --> 00:18:00,513
FOR NOT DOING MORE.

339
00:18:08,121 --> 00:18:10,857
I'M OKAY DURING THE DAY
MOST DAYS.

340
00:18:12,192 --> 00:18:14,227
BUT AT NIGHT I WAKE UP
IN A COLD SWEAT,

341
00:18:14,327 --> 00:18:17,430
WONDERING HOW I MISSED IT,
WHAT I COULD HAVE DONE,

342
00:18:17,530 --> 00:18:21,268
WHAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE,
HOW MUCH HURT I'VE CAUSED

343
00:18:21,368 --> 00:18:24,171
TO FAMILIES,
TO THE COMPANY.

344
00:18:24,271 --> 00:18:27,774
GOD, IF YOU COULD SEE
THE OLD MAN'S FACE.

345
00:18:27,874 --> 00:18:29,309
HE LOOKED STRICKEN.

346
00:18:29,409 --> 00:18:31,144
THAT MUST HAVE MADE
YOU FEEL TERRIBLE,

347
00:18:31,244 --> 00:18:33,480
TO DISAPPOINT
THE OLD MAN.

348
00:18:35,182 --> 00:18:37,116
WHAT?

349
00:18:38,651 --> 00:18:41,388
YOU SEEM TO TALK
ABOUT HIM AS IF HE'S...

350
00:18:41,488 --> 00:18:43,823
A FATHER THAT
YOU'VE LET DOWN.

351
00:18:43,923 --> 00:18:46,193
IT'S MY FAULT,
PAUL, NOT HIS.

352
00:18:46,293 --> 00:18:49,996
I SEE YOU STRUGGLING
TO UNDERSTAND

353
00:18:50,096 --> 00:18:52,064
WHAT HAPPENED
AND WHY IT HAPPENED.

354
00:18:52,165 --> 00:18:54,467
BUT AS HARD
AS YOU'RE WORKING

355
00:18:54,567 --> 00:18:57,237
TO DEAL WITH THIS GUILT,
THIS SENSE OF BETRAYAL,

356
00:18:57,337 --> 00:19:00,340
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT
YOU'RE WORKING JUST AS HARD

357
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,410
TO AVOID LOOKING AT HIM
AND HIS ROLE IN THIS.

358
00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:06,045
WHY DO YOU KEEP
HARPING ON HIM?

359
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:07,547
HE DID THE BEST
HE COULD.

360
00:19:07,647 --> 00:19:09,849
YOU SAID THAT
WHEN HIS SON JAMES DIED,

361
00:19:09,949 --> 00:19:13,486
OLD DONALDSON WAS READY
TO JUST GIVE IT ALL UP.

362
00:19:13,586 --> 00:19:16,756
BUT YOU WOULDN'T LET HIM.
YOU TOOK ON THE FAMILY BUSINESS

363
00:19:16,856 --> 00:19:18,291
FOR 35 YEARS.

364
00:19:18,391 --> 00:19:20,193
THEIR SON WAS DEAD.

365
00:19:20,293 --> 00:19:22,229
AND DID YOU FEEL
GUILTY ABOUT THAT?

366
00:19:22,329 --> 00:19:25,765
WELL, I'D PROMISED
TO KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.

367
00:19:25,865 --> 00:19:27,567
AND SO FOR WHAT,
SOME PENANCE

368
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:30,637
YOU TOOK ON THIS
ENORMOUS RESPONSIBILITY?

369
00:19:30,737 --> 00:19:33,540
THE SAME WAY THAT
YOU TOOK RESPONSIBILITY
FOR YOUR PARENTS' LIVES

370
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,576
- AFTER YOUR BROTHER
TOMMY DIED?
- I HAD NO CHOICE.

371
00:19:36,676 --> 00:19:40,112
- WALTER, YOU WERE JUST A BOY.
- I HAD NO CHOICE.

372
00:19:40,213 --> 00:19:43,783
YOU WERE SIX YEARS OLD.
IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN YOUR TIME
TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PARENTS.

373
00:19:43,883 --> 00:19:47,420
- THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN
TAKING CARE OF YOU.
- IT WAS MY FAULT!

374
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,057
THAT'S WHY
I HAD NO CHOICE--
IT WAS MY FAULT.

375
00:19:51,157 --> 00:19:54,227
WHAT WAS
YOUR FAULT, WALTER?

376
00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:12,745
A HOT SUMMER NIGHT,
BEFORE AIR CONDITIONING.

377
00:20:14,146 --> 00:20:16,849
THE AIR WAS
DEAD STILL.

378
00:20:18,785 --> 00:20:21,854
TOMMY WAS JUST
GOING TO SNEAK OUT
TO THE QUARRY LAKE TO COOL OFF.

379
00:20:24,924 --> 00:20:27,093
HE CAME TO MY ROOM

380
00:20:27,193 --> 00:20:30,297
AND SAID TONIGHT
WAS THE NIGHT

381
00:20:30,397 --> 00:20:33,232
HE WAS GOING TO JUMP OFF
THE HIGHEST CLIFF.

382
00:20:34,734 --> 00:20:37,870
BUT HE WAS ASKING ME, REALLY,
MORE THAN TELLING ME.

383
00:20:39,672 --> 00:20:41,641
AND WHAT DID
YOU TELL HIM?

384
00:20:41,741 --> 00:20:44,877
( tearfully )
I SAID, "TOMMY,
YOU CAN DO IT.

385
00:20:44,977 --> 00:20:48,481
YOU CAN DO IT, TOMMY."

386
00:20:50,149 --> 00:20:51,984
AND I TOLD HIM
IN THE MORNING

387
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:55,322
I'D BRAG ABOUT HIM
TO EVERYONE.

388
00:20:58,291 --> 00:21:01,461
THEN HE KISSED ME
GOOD NIGHT.

389
00:21:04,130 --> 00:21:05,932
HE NEVER MADE IT BACK.

390
00:21:06,032 --> 00:21:09,101
AND YOU FELT RESPONSIBLE
FOR YOUR BROTHER'S DEATH.

391
00:21:09,201 --> 00:21:11,538
I WAS. I AM.

392
00:21:11,638 --> 00:21:14,106
WALTER,
YOUR BROTHER JUMPED.

393
00:21:14,206 --> 00:21:15,975
YOU DIDN'T PUSH HIM
OFF THE EDGE.

394
00:21:16,075 --> 00:21:18,645
HE CHOSE TO JUMP.

395
00:21:18,745 --> 00:21:22,482
AND IN A FLASH
A FAMILY WAS DESTROYED.

396
00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:26,619
THAT'S IT.

397
00:21:26,719 --> 00:21:29,221
IT HAPPENS.

398
00:21:29,322 --> 00:21:31,558
THERE ARE LOTS OF THEM--

399
00:21:32,459 --> 00:21:35,428
DESTROYED FAMILIES.

400
00:21:43,636 --> 00:21:45,905
ARE YOU OKAY,
WALTER?

401
00:21:47,540 --> 00:21:49,208
( sniffles )
I HAVE TO GO.

402
00:21:49,308 --> 00:21:51,878
LOOK, I KNOW THIS WEEK
YOUR SENSE OF GUILT
ABOUT ALL THIS,

403
00:21:51,978 --> 00:21:55,147
IT MUST FEEL
LIKE AN AVALANCHE.
I KNOW YOU MUST

404
00:21:55,247 --> 00:21:57,884
FEEL OVERWHELMED,
BUT IT'S URGENT

405
00:21:57,984 --> 00:22:00,420
THAT WE TALK ABOUT THIS
FEELING IN HERE.

406
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,422
MY WIFE'S WAITING
FOR ME OUTSIDE.

407
00:22:02,522 --> 00:22:05,191
CAN WE ARRANGE SOMETHING
FOR TOMORROW MORNING?

408
00:22:05,291 --> 00:22:08,828
SOMETIMES IF I'M UP ALL NIGHT,
I NEED THE MORNINGS TO SLEEP.

409
00:22:10,096 --> 00:22:12,399
WHAT ABOUT
MONDAY AFTERNOON?

410
00:22:12,499 --> 00:22:14,967
I'M FINE, FELLA.

411
00:22:16,268 --> 00:22:18,605
DO YOU MIND IF I CALL
YOUR DOCTOR AND...

412
00:22:18,705 --> 00:22:21,641
- TALK ABOUT
THOSE PRESCRIPTIONS?
- I SAID I'M FINE.

413
00:22:24,644 --> 00:22:27,046
I'LL--

414
00:22:27,146 --> 00:22:29,616
I'LL SEE YOU
NEXT WEEK, WALTER.

415
00:22:29,716 --> 00:22:32,051
MY WIFE'S WAITING
FOR ME OUTSIDE.

416
00:22:40,126 --> 00:22:42,562
( melancholy music playing )
