they all seem a little bit too dirty. well, that's funny,because you didn't say anything about my footage of the iraqishanging all over our troops. they were dirty. yeah, but that's different. they weren't american.they had an excuse. (jake) can you cue that up? d, can you rewind that back? yeah.
yeah, i know who you are, i know what you're doing, [atmospheric piano music] (woman)as the city braces itself for the upcomingrepublican national convention, mayor bloomberg yesterdayissued a warning about the possibilityof terrorist attacks on new york during the event. in response to the threats,
homeland security chieftom ridge has raised the terror levelto orange or high alert, the second highest level on the government'sfive-tier spectrum. hey. is chloe in there? yeah, they're in therewaiting for you. jake. bob.
heard you shotsome great stuff up in boston. you going to air it? bob wants to runa series of segments on how the city is preparingfor the convention. snapshots of new york at a timeof great political upheaval. it's not really my gig. see, that's the thing.
everyone shits on itbecause it sounds boring. that's why i want youto do it, jake, because you have an instinct for conflict. you do that, and i'll see if chloe can't geta prime-time special scheduled during the convention itself. all right. [punchy rock music] you still, uh, humping chloe?
do you have to beso crass about it? all right, you still making loveto that woman? i really don't think that's any of your business. what else are we going to talk about all day? let's talk about you. who are you seeing? i told you about that girlfrom upstate. why are they always from upstatewith you?
i don't like dating girlsfrom the city. they're too fast and busyfor me. right, so you must see her a lot. ah, there's kind of a situation. oh, yeah? she's, uh, married. oh, you must be proudof yourself. there's a kid. great.
so have you met the kid yet? yeah.he thinks i'm his uncle. how do you feel about the rnccoming to new york? i'm actuallylooking forward to the demonstrationsor whatever is going to happen, all the mischief and craziness. i hope it gets blown upand out of control. (jake)do you think the protestersshould be allowed to march? well, of course theyshould be allowed to march,
but they don't realizethey're not doing anything. they're counterproductive. who goes to war? not bush's kids. not kerry's kids.not cheney's kids. it's--okay,it's that guy over there; it's this guy over here;it's his son, her daughter. the ones who arepunching in their time clocks, making minimum wage,those are the people who go.
[laid-back electronic music] mom! (woman) yeah? can jesse and ruizstay for dinner? (woman) oh. they can't, baby. i didn't get enoughfor all four of us. would you guys wantto come over next week? all right, that's cool.ask your moms.
[groovy instrumental music] i'm kind of tryingto get a pulse of how the city's feeling,you know? my question: why are we in town? why haven't we leftlike all the smart people? [laughs] i think a lot of new yorkersare thinking the same thing, that, you know,they're blitzing every tunnel
before the onslaught arrives. just having the juxtapositionof these two conventions-- okay, i watchedthe democratic convention. i felt it was showbizall the way. oh, shoot 'em in the head. do you know what they dowith white women over in saudi arabia? they fuck youand throw you off a ship. so why haven't-- oh, come on.
oh, yeah, you don't know that? so wait,you were embedded in iraq? yeah, for about six months. what was that like? it was like a mass experimentin the stockholm syndrome. what does that mean? okay, i don't know about you, but i'm certainly not goingto sacrifice profits to honor some idealistic viewof what journalism should be.
you know, that's funny, because that's the way it was30 years ago. that was the ideal,you know, standard, that journalistswould risk their lives to tell the truth. yeah, but truthis subjective. we gave the publiceverything that we had, and it was up to them to makea decision about the war. what about the imagesof dead iraqi children?
what, don't you get aljazeera? hey. what, are youleaving already? yeah, i thinki'm going to walk home. you know, i'm not muchfor small talk. oh, come on. stay a little longer. come on.let's go get a drink. there's some reallyimportant people in there.
yeah, i know.maybe for you, okay? but i'm not goingto stand around pretending to beinterested. well, then stay for me. you can still pretendto do that, can't you? come on, look. that's not what i'm saying. okay? hey, i'm just overall this shit.
these people can opendoors for you, jake, for both of us. i know, okay? but just try to listen to mefor one second, all right? i don't care what's goingto happen to me in five years, all right? and i'm sure as hellnot going to start sucking up to these corporate fucks so that i can get a job
running a news division. oh, thanks, jake. [quietly]oh, my god. you know what i want? no. what do you want? i want to do something that'simportant, okay, to people, something that i--i actually care about. yeah, so do i,jake. that's why i'm workingat a major news network.
i know. since i got backfrom baghdad, okay, i care less and lessabout this shit, about bcn, ratings,kramer-- me? no. not you. chloe, i love you.you know that. you're just--let me loose now.
of course. [siren blaring] [speaking arabic] [chanting in arabic] [gunshots] [gunshots and yelling] (jake) how do you feel about the rnc coming to the city? i think the city is gonna be in complete chaos, frankly.
[tense electronic music] (woman) is this what we're exporting to iraq? [tape whining] and thieves, okay? that's not supposed to be what happens in a democracy. is this what we'reexporting to iraq? [knocking] hi, isyour mother home?
do you knowwhere she is? working. how about your dad? can you tell mewhere he is? he's fighting the war. which war? the one in iraq. now, what do you wantto talk about? tell me.

no, no,little man, no. it's no place for kids,you know? only adults can go to war. besides, i need you here. you're gonna bein charge now, taking care of your mamaand everything. and the pigeons. that's right. and the pigeons. hand me the 16.
(man) hey, man, turn your camera on over here. actually,we're late for something. bullshit. you're just afraidof the truth. okay. you've got one minuteto tell me the truth. all right, then. just tell me when. you're on.
the neocon-controlledbush administration staged the 9/11 attacks in order to justifythe imperial conquest of american military powerinto the oil-soaked middle east. this "war on terror"has nothing to do with al-qaida. al-qaida was createdand sponsored by the cia during the afghanistan warin the 1970s right on upthrough the late 1990s. you don't believe me?
just hop on the web and google the namehashim thaci, leader of the kla, a group the republicansthemselves call the drug-traffickingterrorist organization with links to osama bin laden,and you can find pictures of u.s. officialsshaking hands with this man. but you don't evenhave to go back that far. just check outthe september of 2000 manifesto
from the right-wing think tank the projectfor the new american century. you know,the one cheney, rumsfeld, and wolfowitz belong to? anyway, the manifesto is called rebuilding america's defenses, and it lays out a strategy for americanglobal military dominance and calls for a transformationthat will be slow if not for, and i quote,
"a catastrophicand catalyzing event like a new pearl harbor." there is no war on terror. there's a war on freedom. you got that? educate yourself. (jake) you really think those kids believe what they're talking about? probably not,but what are you gonna do?
let's just get some food. we just ate15 minutes ago. i'm still hungry. jesus. hold this.hey! what'd you do to the kid? nothing.little shit got away. well, what's that? lunch.
we're here,all right? fine. excuse me. does this belongto anyone here? actually, yes.where'd you find that? just over in this parking lotover by the bridge. richie! it's cool. i got it.
richie? so is that your husband? is he in country? you know iraq. yeah. i mean, i was embeddedover there during the invasion. huh. he'll get back safe. actually, no,he won't.
he was a machinist, but they had himout raiding villages. he was in baghdadabout two weeks when his convoy got hit with a rocket-propelledgrenade launcher. died instantly. [sighs]kid who fired it was 16. i'm sorry. you must have seena lot of that, though, yeah?
you're a reporter? cameraman, mostly. so what do you do? you just ride around in tanks filming u.s. troopsinvading foreign countries? as long as they pay me. i'm sorry,and... it's okay. i hope everything'sall right.
oh, yeah. i wasn't--i wasn't surewhat to feed it, so... oh, it eats just aboutanything, but thank you. bye. (jake)dex, you see what's going onover there? (dexter)yeah, it looks like some guyjust got pulled over. (jake)all right, well hold on.i'm going to go get this. it's clean. i know it's clean, dawg.
thank you. your license flaggedon our system. just a routine check. we're on high alert with the president coming to town. yeah, y'all motherfuckers betterbe on high alert, a'ight? you got a lot bigger problemsthan terrorism in this motherfucker. this is the oldest warin america, a'ight,
and y'all know that. a war against the poor,a war against people-- sir, would you please get in the car and leave? you know, you don't need to talk to me like that. i know what terrorism is,man. back in the day,all y'all needed was a rope and a treeor some tar and some feathers, and that's all y'all needed. you know what?
what you gonna do,arrest me, beat me up? that's right. a white cop ain't never done that to me before, right? beware of the man who ain't got nothing to lose. we don't got no oil contracts; we don't gotno weapons contracts. niggers don't got health care in the hood. we don't got nothin' to lose. you better be on high alert,you motherfucking pig.
what an asshole. a controversial rulingshook up the nypd yesterday as judge robert sweetprohibited blanket searches of protestersmarching outside of the rnc. police officials planto urge mayor bloomberg to appeal the ruling, saying it is giving an open doorto terrorists. the nypd is planning to have over 35,000 police officerson duty for the convention.
estimates put the overtime costs somewhere in excessof $59 million for the four-day event. what's up? it's about the texas segment. what about it? they're not going to run it. why not? the guy had chemical weapons in there.
he had a cyanide bombbig enough to kill everybody in a 30,000-square-footbuilding, and you're telling methat's not news? yes. jesus. you remember jose padilla? huh? see, there's a guywith no bomb-making material and no way to get it,and he winds up
on the front pageof every paper in the country. it's bullshit. so if you're not gonna air my shit, then don't send me halfwayacross the country to get it. you done? whatever. good. how isthe rnc run-up stuff coming? it's coming.

what do i do, just-- throw him up. ready? (richie) when one goes, they all go. (tina) richie? see? it's just slowerthan the other one. the one on the sideis a lot faster. are we that muchof a charity case?
actually,it's not charity. it's just an attemptto atone for my ignorance. well, richie never getsto have anyone over for dinner, so if he feels like it,you can invite him. if it'sall right with you. i'll be readyin about a half an hour. and i'm not buying youone of those. [laughing] wonderful story, sweetheart.
that's why i don'tmake friends anymore, mama. oh, goodness. how old were youwhen you had this guy? 16. yeah? cruz and i didn't think twiceabout it, but i had to quit schoolonce i got too big, and he went and started workingat his dad's garage as a mechanic,and...
and it's all my fault. stop it. if i had my way, actually, i'd never let youout of my clutches. good thing you don't have your way. [laughs] are we done? yeah, i guess. hey, mom?
yes? can me and jakeplay freedom fighter? did you finish all the chaptersin your book? well, you told me to read nine.i read eight. right, exactly. i did most of them. finish the--finish, and then you can play. and no skimming, 'cause i'm goingto test you on it.
do you want some coffee? what? nothing. no, nothing. you're doin' it. all this with richieand whatnot, it's, like, making me feel like i'm an adolescent. well, i'm definitelya long way from martha stewart,
so... i don't know about that. no, having kids is definitely-- it's different. i mean, before i had richie,i didn't-- i didn't really think abouttrying to change the world or control itor affect it at all. i was just tryingto navigate my way through and get the thingsthat i wanted. but i don't know.
since i've had him,i'm sort of inspired to... make it better,more fair, humane. for him, you know? there's one thing i've learned: the world is one nasty,complicated mess, and we are way too insignificantto change anything. i mean, you're just-- you're really just better offfocusing on richie and preparing himfor the future.
i used to think like thatbefore cruz died, but it's different now. does richie know what happened? um, well,he knows his dad went to war, and he knowsthat he's not coming back, but, um, i don't think he'sfully grasped that he's dead or what that means. it's a hard thingfor a kid to accept. mothers too.
want the coffee? (woman)with just one day to go before the republicannational convention, mayor bloomberghas refused to grant a permit for over 250,000 protestersto assemble in central park, claimingthere just isn't enough room for a demonstrationof that size. in response, several hundred activist groupshave threatened to use the park
as their base of operationsduring the four-day convention. while the mayor's officedownplayed the potential for conflictbetween protesters and nypd, officials statedthat they haven't ruled out the use of force if demonstrators do not complywith the city's laws. oh, yes. i'm sure the protesterswill protest, and there may be some abuseof civil liberties.
i love that guy. you really like him? i love him.we have to use him. mark him. okay, good. okay, kramer likeswhat you're getting, but we need to get somethinga little more, um... spit it out. dangerous.
translation? militant, dramatic,whatever. just get into the enemy's camp,you know? find out what the protestorsare planning. find out who the leaders areof the anti-bush movement. chloe, that'sa whole different type of job. i can't just walk intoan activist planning meeting with dexter and a boom. okay, but, well,
maybe you need to goand do stuff on your own. just be more low-key. you know the conventionis in a few days, don't you? all right,i'll see what i can get. thank you. oh, check out this guy, arthur robins. see if you can get a clip. dinner later?
sure. rewind that one back. (robins)and out of 90,000 artists, they happened to choose the onethat doesn't despise bush. okay, but go backto the beginning. i mean, how did youget surveilled by the joint terroristtask force? well, i was going to show my artin front of the met, and it was raining,
so i actuallywent into the museum and decided to look at the art, and after about a half hour, the security officersstopped me, and they took me to a little room and then interrogated me, and then they claimedthey had some kind of tapes that showed that i hungsome painting up on the wall, and then they let me goafter about a half hour.
then what happened? well, that night, five nypd detectivesburst into my house and demanded that i answer some questions. what did they want? well, i videotaped it.i could show you. they let you shoot them? well, what, i can't shoot peoplein my own apartment? i wasn't saying anythingabout that.
well, that wasmy argument to them, because, i mean,they didn't even have a warrant. right. do you have the stuff? yeah, it's right here. it's already ready to go. we just want to knowwhat you're protesting. what i'm protesting? yes, sir.
who saidi'm protesting something? your artspeaks for itself. what are youtalking about? (man) why are we here, arthur? (robins) i don't know. i really don't know. well, we do. well, tell mewhat you know. arthur, look.listen to me.
i'm not gonna,you know, get into this with youright now, all right? i'm going to just ask youone quick question. you ever been livingwith any psychological problems? no, never.never. all right,do me a favor. put your shoes on. you're going to haveto come back with us. you're kidding.
nope. (robins)am i under arrest? (man)i'm asking youto put your shoes on. (robins)but am i under arrest? no, sir,you're not under arrest. okay, do ihave to go back? no, you don't haveto come back. you want to ask mesomething then? you can ask meany question you want here.
(man) what we're just trying to find out right now is who and why. the bottom line is,all right, you understandin this day and age, there's some serioussecurity concerns, terrorismand everything else. yeah, right. and i really fitthat bill, don't i? no, i don't thinkyou're a terrorist at all.
(robins)by the way, would it betoo much for me to-- can i photographyour ids? no, that would not go on. could i--could i video your ids? no, absolutely not. [tense music] (man) my name is elisha herrik blaine. uh, e-l-i-s-h-a, last name is blaine,b-l-a-i-n-e.
i'm from somerville, mass. [break beat music] (woman) so the 831 action coalition is calling for a day of nonviolentcivil disobedience. (man) in the past, large protests-- all violence has been initiatedand perpetuated by the police forces who try to disperse usfrom the streets. i think the state believesthat we pose a threat to them.
i think they're very muchconcerned about us, and i actually think very specifically what we're dealing withright now in terms ofthe terrorist threats that they're posing out there is very muchbecause they're concerned. [spacey rock music] you wouldn't happen to knowabout any meetings being held for the protest of the rnc,would you?
yeah, sure. have you triedunited for peace and justice or not in our name? yeah, i looked intoall that stuff. i was just-- i was just looking for somethinga little more radical, you know? radical? you know anythingabout the black bloc? yeah, the black bloc'sa street tactic.
it's not an organizationper se. yeah, i know, but they have,uh, you know, they have meetingsto plan their activities, don't they? people are meeting. there's plenty of meetings. you might check outthe west side. cool, thanks. yeah, take care.

i knew that. richie had a really good timewith you the other night. it's kind of hard for him to make friends with peoplearound his dad's age, so it was actuallyreally nice to see. anyway, i just--i want to apologize if i came off a little too harshthe first time we met, and... no, no.it's cool. i apologize too,so...
so i was-- hey, what are you doing-- you go first. you want to go for a rideafter you get out of work? by ride, i assumeyou mean motorcycle. um, actually, i havethis thing tonight, so... okay, that's cool. and if you're interested,maybe you could give me a ride.

(woman)today new york is the center of the americanpolitical universe as the rnc has officially begun. inside madison square garden, hundreds of delegatesare gathering to celebrate the candidacyof george w. bush while outside the convention, hundreds of thousandsof activists are expected to hit the streetsin protest of his candidacy

okay, but this isdifferent, jake. really?how? we got a green light. fuck off. you got a prime-time special? it airs right after bush's speech. oh, that's great,chloe. it could be, jake, but i need you to get right in there, you know,
as if you were embedded in any other war zone. kramer wants it to look like modern urban warfare or some shit. i think he alreadyhas a lead. you got to hear this shit. "while american troops fightguerilla mercenaries in iraq, "america's youth are battling police in the streets of new york." you got to befucking kidding me.
nope, i'm not, but you really got toblend in, you know? i mean, get in there. get me face-to-face with all ofthe most radical groups, the anarchists, communists,peaceniks, feminists, fucking botanistsif they have a gun. i don't give a shit. just get methe edgiest stuff you can.
i will. (woman) if what you're trying to do is stop hate, why would you want to just dosomething you're trying to stop? you're totally going against yourself and being hypocritical. no, it's--it's a measurethat's taken before-- it's stopping hatebefore it starts, okay? that's what we do. by doing more hateful acts?
we're a 200-year-old country. we've already beenin ten major wars. the world is warlike.it's not just us. (man) okay, but guys, guys, we could spend all day arguing about how we're gonnatake power back from the political and economicelites of this country, but at the end of that day, we'd still be sittingin this small, sweaty room
looking at the same 20 faces i've been looking atfor the last month while uptown in air-conditioned offices, those who truly rule this country, will be plotting out the next 50 yearsof global domination, so let's getreally fucking serious, okay? this revolution is not aboutvoting democrat or republican.
it's not about being liberal or conservative. shit, it's not even aboutbeing capitalist or communist, because those are justfictitious emblems propped up by the elites to further dividethe american public. and look at us.they succeeded. just look at this country. we're divided, and in this way,
we're rendered impotentof any true political power. i am not doing anything wrong. why can't i cross the street?

free speech is alive and well in the united states? they're trying to terrorizepeople into submission, but the revolutionwill not be terrorized. i'm a pro-bush anarchist, and i don't think thatthat's an oxymoron at all. actually, i know anarchistswho voted for bush last time because they predicted this. they predictedhe would be so fucked, it would absolutely causea revolution.
it doesn't fucking matterwho's going to end up in office, 'cause they're gonnatake their cues from the fucking pentagon,the military-industrial complex. i mean, it's a fucki'' multibillion-dollar industry. you think anybody's gonnafuckin' listen to the voters? no, fucking boeingand fucking mcdonnell douglas and all the fuckingabrams tank people and all those motherfuckers are gonna spend moneyon whoever the fuck's in office.
it's not gonna change. they're gonna do whateverthe fuck they tell them to do. what about dr. evil? we got to be there, man. they've got to feela sense of siege. they feel that, then maybe they'll stopholding events in cities. what the fuck? what the fuck is going on?

look, man, if we wantto talk to the fucking camera without our mask,it's our prerogative, all right? these masks represent militant resistance, man. okay, so leave your mask on, man. hey, get that fucking camera out of my face. whoa, all right? what's your fucki''problem, huh? all they're doing is breaking down the philosophyof the movement.
i don't give a shitif they're reciting malatesta. take that cameraand go home. show's over, man. look, i'm gonna getmy last shot. fuck. stop, dude! all right, that's enough. shit, man. give me the fuckin' camera!

fuck! shit. you a'ight? you know you crossedthe line up there, yeah? i mean, you gotta understand.anonymity's all we got. otherwise,we can't be effective. the only effect you're having is making a spectaclefor the networks. you're a news producer'swet dream.
masks, broken windows? are you kidding me? you guys are a ratings bonanza. well, what do you expect? are we supposed to justfuckin' walk in organized lines smiling at the policeand fuckin' carrying puppets? so you're the radicals,huh? yeah, call us whatever the hell you want. if you think it's radical,
that says more about you than it does about us. as for those other protesters, they can do whateverthe hell they want. they don't realizeall they're doing is propping up the lieof democracy and giving these fuckin' politicians an excuse to call this a fuckin' free society where there is no censorshipof opinion,
where there is no class warfare. but this is a class war, and if they're too comfortableto fight it, then we will. give me a fuckin' break. i'll bet you've gotmiddle-class parents from brooklyn. you talk about a class-- what the fuck do you know about a class war, huh? is that some shityou read in some pamphlet?
you don't know me. oh, yes, i do. i used to be one of you. let me tell you something. the whole militant idealism fades about one week afteryou get the first paycheck. you don't believe in anything. you have never had to fight for fucking anything. you have never lost anything.
oh, yeah?what have you lost? what have i lost,motherfucker? what have i lost? huh, jake? what the fuck have i lost, right? i don't knowwhat the fuck i'm talking about, right? i'm sorry, tina. [sobs]
the media just looksat these masked kids and just immediatelywrites them off as just a-- spoiled bratswho have no reason to complain or juvenile delinquents who just use these protestsas an excuse to fuck shit up, but that's bullshit,because i know those people, and they're just doingwhat they feel is necessary to have to fightagainst something that just seems so largeand unconquerable.
i mean, people just seemto have forgotten that this fucking countrywas built as a reaction to that kind ofimperialistic, fascistic bullshitin the first place. i'm telling you, jake, when i lost cruz, i started really thinking about what it isthat i was gonna do about it, because the richwill always be fighting wars
over oil and landand cheap labor pools. especially now that there'sso much less of everything. and we're always going to beon the front lines. we're the ones who have to throw dirton the coffins of our families, whether it's my husband... my cruz from harlem, or some--some poor kid's fatherfrom saudi arabia or italy or the philippines.
and where's that story? where's thaton the evening news, jake? 'cause it's the only storythat we got, and if the fucking media triedto sell that story as much as they fucking soldthat war in iraq, there'd be fucking fightingin the streets, and then all this shitwould have to come down. that's what i want to see,all right? fuck you.
[applause] listening to nixon speak sounded more likea breath of fresh air. i said to my friend,i said, "what party is he?" my friend said,"he is a republican." i said,"then i am a republican." jake, what happened to you? jesus, jake.who hit you, the police?
i just got a little too closeto some of the militants. they wonder why we don't givethem any positive coverage. activists, my ass. they're a bunch of fuckingdrug addicts and thugs. they deservewhat they get. you don't knowwhat you're talking about. oh, really? no, you don't. you ever think maybeit's our fault
they getso goddamn pissed off? those kids i met today were some of the most articulateand level-headed kids i've met in a long time. jake, it is just like youto romanticize them. hey, what, you spend one daywith the great unwashed, and suddenly you're one of them? you know what?fuck you. i was just kidding, jake.relax.
yeah, you were, and you weren't. i don't know, you know? i mean, yeah,they beat me up. i was pissed at first,but you know what? they were suspicious of me, just like the iraqis were suspicious of us when we rode into baghdad with the troops. [softly]fuck, i don't know.
it's like i've becomeindistinguishable from the empire itself. the empire? jake, come on.you're delusional. those protesters are out therebecause they don't have jobs. they have nothing better to do. they're on welfare,for fuck's sake. chloe, do you hear yourself?do you? 'cause you soundlike fuckin' rush limbaugh.
yeah, and you sound likefucking ani difranco. you done? fuck you. lower manhattanerupted into chaos yesterday as protesters defied police and refusedto clear the streets. over 1,200 people were arrested and held in makeshift pensat pier 57. with one day to go
before george w. bush delivers the keynote speechof the convention, the city is bracing itselffor another day of marches and mass demonstrations. bcn, good morning. is chloe there? actually, jake,she's in a production meeting. can i have her call-- shit.
[energetic techno music] chloe, where are my tapes? relax, jake.they're getting dubbed. okay, listen to me. there's something on one of themthat you can't use, and i need it right now. well, you can't have it. chloe, why not? can you wait a second,please?
i'm sorry, mark. can you just have thismessengered over right away? okay.thank you. jake, what the fuck isthe matter with you? you can't come in hereyelling-- where are my tapes? they're not here. what do you mean,they're not here? look, there's somebodyon that tape
that can not affordto be seen, okay? i shot herwithout her permission. now give methe fuckin' tape! i don't have them.they'll be back by noon. what do you mean,you don't have 'em? back from where? well, i might as welltell you, because you're the last personon earth to know. kramer made a dealwith homeland security
that they could scan the footagefor potential terror threats. and i-- oh, my god. you got to beshitting me. chloe, tell meyou're kidding, huh? listen, you get-- so what, i'm out there nowspying on the protesters, huh? i'm doing surveillancefor the feds, and you don't even tell meabout it?
jake, i didn't think that-- you didn't think what? you didn't think 'cause you knewi wouldn't do it. i do not do surveillancefor fucking homeland security. now here'sanother thing, okay? those kids out therein the streets, they know exactlywhat the fuck we're doing, okay? and you want to knowsomething else? if you want to send me out thereto risk my fuckin' ass,
you've gota whole nother thing coming. dude, you gota camera in here? just a 170. is there a tape in it? yeah, good to go. what happened to you? is kramer in? um, yeah, but wait.you can't go in-- hello, jake.
hey, bob. what happened to your face? this? it's modern urban warfare, bob. isn't that what you wanted? no, not if it put youat risk. if it put me at risk. that's funny. 'cause you knowwhy i got beat up, don't you?
no, i don't, jake,but maybe-- well, i'll tell you. you see, these crazy kids,they got the idea that some of ushere at the network were shooting protest footageand giving it to the feds. that's crazy,huh, bob? i don't know whatyou're talking about, jake. but if you want to betransferred off the assignment, i would understand.
you know what?cut the shit, bob, okay? 'cause i already spokewith chloe. is that thing on? would it really make a difference if it was? listen, you arrogant shit. you don't come in hereand start threatening me. now, turn that thing off. no, no.you listen to me, okay? you send me out there onsome goddamn covert spy mission
which almost gets me killed? now i want to knowsomething, okay? i want to know exactlywhat the fuck is going on at this network. turn the camera off. turn off the camera,and then we'll talk. now, jake,let's be clear. when i send you outwith this company's cameras into the protest masses,
i own that footage. and if i can use that footageto put this station and its parent companyand its shareholders in a better positionwith the government, you can bet i will do itevery single time. bob, have you lost all senseof ethical perspective? jesus christ. you want to talkabout ethical perspective? as an officerof this corporation,
my ethical perspectiveis focused on profitability and market share. officer of the corporation? you're a journalist. this is a news organization. no, jake, i am the presidentof broadcast operations. that's my title. i stopped beinga journalist years ago. tell me, how do you thinkthis whole apparatus works?
or do you everreally think about it? as long as i keepsigning your checks and sending youaround the planet so your adrenaline addiction doesn't turn youmanic-depressive, you don't really thinkabout it at all. what the fuckare you talking about? i'm talking aboutplaying the game, jake. i am talkingabout competing
in the most aggressive corporatemedia environment in the world, for christ's sakes,and winning. how the hell do you thinki got you embedded with the top militaryofficials in iraq? you were the first reporterin baghdad. you ever wonderabout that, jake? is he in? yeah, but jake'sin there with him. what? how long has hebeen in there?
ten minutes.what's going on? and when the pentagoncalls me up and asks me not to broadcastyour footage of dead iraqi civilians, i don't. and when homeland securitycalls and says, "hey, we hear you've gotjake cassavetes on the ground "with the boston protesters. "we'd like to lookat that footage
and scan itfor possible terrorists," those tapesare with a courier over to their officethat minute. bob, don't tell meyou actually think that they're scanningthose tapes for terrorists. they're collecting a databasefor the protesters. we did a whole report on itfor chloe's show. jake, i don't give a shitwhat they do with it.
if it's not us,it's gonna be somebody else, and we can't affordto lose that opportunity. you've lost your mind,you know? you want to know something? news flash, bob. it's 2004, and reporters are spyingon dissidents for the feds. 20 years too late,but you know what? orwell was righton the fuckin' money.
call security. [dramatic music] (tina)when i lost cruz,i started really thinking about what it is that i was gonna do about it, because the rich will always be fighting wars over oil and land, and we're always gonna beon the front lines. we're the ones who haveto throw dirt on the coffins of our families.
