I want you to run for governor against Mac Cullen.
I know my city and I know my state.
I know the dark side of us as well as the good.
We've got the tape. It'll work.
Reporter: The images show incumbent governor Mac Cullen
on a recent trip to Miami with... a close friend?
Miller: I'm doing a story,
taking a deeper look at Tom Kane.
- O'Hare. - Tom: Yeah.
How long before it's done?
Stone: They're gonna put on some extra security at night.
But we come in the morning and we find these piles of dirt from the night.
I spoke to Emma last week.
Meredith: Emma's a liability.
Do I need to remind you the danger she poses?
Dr. Harris: It's called Lewy body. There is no known cure.
Are you aware that your husband has been to see Dr. Harris?
She's a neurologist.
Maybe there's something that the public should know?

- ( Bangs washer ) - ( Sighs )
What are you doing?
Washing my sheets.
- Why? - Spilled some wine.
- It's 3:00 in the morning. - I know.
Why don't you use the machine?
( Sighs )
I can't turn it on.
Why are you here?
I don't know.
What does it matter?
Does it matter?
No.
Meredith.
I'm sorry I woke you up.
Leave those for the maid.
Oh, I've been coming here since I was about your age.
The only difference now is that back then
a side of fries cost a quarter.
- How about a bite, sir? - Huh? Oh yeah!
- ( Camera clicks ) - ( Laughing )
Mm.
Well, a pleasure having lunch with you.
I hope I can count on your vote.
Gotta get 'em young.
- They want a few questions. - Fuckin' fat, salt, sugar. Fuckin' shit.
Why do you keep setting these things up in diners?
My fucking stomach lining-- Jesus.
We asked them to stay away from the whole airport tape thing,
- but we can't guarantee-- - all right, I'll do it.
Dilip: All right, everyone, the governor will take a few questions.
Let's try to keep today happy.
Yeah, Andy.
Zajac's bump in the polls-- it's sticking, sir.
Yeah, it's an entrance applause.
Besides, at this stage in the game,
checking polls is like digging up your garden
- to see how everything's growing. - ( Laughter )
- Andy: Two weeks out? - The metaphor still holds. Next.
- A quick follow-up, sir. - Yeah.
The young man with you at the airport--
can you finally confirm the nature of your relationship?
There is no relationship.
- Woman: So he's not your lover, sir? - No, he is not.
Man: There are rumors that you were paying for his services.
Come on, Jim, you know me better than that.
I mean for one thing, it's illegal--
- buying sex, not homosexuality. - They're in it now.
- Tom: Who's in the pack? - Salazar.
- Ask him. - Yep.
Flight records indicate that you've
traveled to Miami six times.
Governor, flight records indicate that you've traveled
to Miami six times in the past two months.
What exactly was the nature of these trips?
Those trips were, uh, personal in nature.
And by personal--
- what were you doing in Miami? - What were you doing in Miami?
What were you doing in Miami, sir?
The nature of those trips is personal.
- I don't need to justify-- - hit him again.
Why have you been going to Miami?
You know, I have a tremendous amount of respect
for the gay community.
- This is not about that. - Again.
Miami, sir-- why have you been going there?
My record will show my strong support--
- again. - Please answer the question, sir.
- Miami? - Even at great personal risk...
Sometimes...
- He's done. - Yep.
Thank you for coming.
I'm not sure I had much of a choice.
One of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century.
Men bold enough to believe they could do the impossible--
change the river's flow.
They did it.
Some things are not reversible.
You should have told me what to expect,
about the side effects.
The only thing I prescribed to you was Xanax.
We are both in predicaments we did not choose.
I am sorry
about the overzealousness of certain communications.
The method was unintended.
You have my word it won't happen again.
What happened?
I wet the bed this morning, pissed myself.
How much rivastigmine are you taking?
- 6mg. - Cut it down to 2mg.
Stay away from coffee and alcohol. Avoid antihistamines.
This is for ditropan. It's common.
Controls urination.
Once a day in the morning.
- Did you bring it? - Yes.
I still think it's a mistake.
It's a lot to take in.
I want to know.
Our research indicates he's now seen as a serious opponent,
so marketing suggests going with this line--
darker suits, maybe gray in the hair.
We're testing regional issues
for inclusion in his current platform as well as generating
a statewide sector-specific list of topics he should avoid.
We've scheduled face time with Danziger
of the Illinois corn growers coalition,
the head of the northeastern Illinois federation of labor.
His name is--
Chuck Deakins.
And he doesn't need any face time with him
because they are already good friends.
And just to clarify, he has no intentions
of changing his suits or his hair.
He's going to do something radical in this election.
He's going to run a response-based campaign.
Listen, respond and win.
There's two weeks left, okay?
If he goes with tired insider-versus-outsider formulas,
experience versus the future,
he knows he may as well call it quits right now.
It's a primary.
These are voters who engage, okay? They give a shit.
Tired formulas means they'll slot him into a box and they'll move on.
And they won't listen to anything he has to say
because they'll believe they already know his answers.
Branding will kill him.
So instead, he's going to ask his team to craft
the message as they go.
Win every cycle, tailor every moment,
day by day, hour by hour.
How do you avoid looking like a flip-flopper?
Stick to the truth.
For most people they only know one such thing.
See, it's when you get into all of this
that it just becomes another shapeable factor.
So we've set a 4:00 with natural propane gas
and a 4:30 with service employees international union.
- Will you be there? - No.
We have to maintain the appearance of impartiality.
Both are establishing PACs for you.
And as long as you're in town,
we recommend the Chicago lawyers' committee for civil rights.
They can do a 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.
- You've closed all the blinds. - Yeah...
I have.
I don't think it's a good idea.
Me neither.
And an 11:00 coffee
with the international brotherhood of teamsters.
I think there's a good chance we can get them to...
( Zipper )
( Gasps, moans )
...Switch their support.
God damn it, I'll just tell the truth.
Fuckin' homo bullshit!
Sir, if you take Torossian's money,
it will put a spotlight on Miami.
So I'll just come out--
I'll admit to it. My bad.
So I went over the limitation on out-of-state contributions.
Shit happens.
People will at least understand that the travel was for money,
not fuckin', you know-- Jesus.
We've run the hypotheticals. And in every iteration, it is better for you
to remain ambiguous about your sexual orientation
than to admit to taking illegal amounts
of out-of-state money.
Are you telling me it's better
if people think I suck cock?
No offense.
( Mouthing words )
Sir, you are up three points with Asian Americans.
Oh? Good. Why?
Apparently, they...
Approve of your taste in men.
Yo, I don't know what you're talking about.
Your guys at O'Hare sitting on their asses all day?
As long as the city writes you a check every week,
there's no point in completing the job, right?
There have been a couple of obstacles.
Obstacles?
- But the work is progressing. - Yeah, at night.
Then it's-- it's crazy over there.
What's going on that we're not supposed to see?
I don't know what you're talking about.
And this-- this is over.
What happened to your head?
Car accident. Thank you for the concern.
Please go.
Okay.
Well, here's my card.
You can throw it away if you want.
- Thank you for your time. - Yeah.
( Dial tones beeping )
Lalo?
( Speaking Spanish )
Where's the, uh, exit?
( Continues in Spanish )
( Receiver clicks )
His teacher say he was playing on the monkey bars,
swinging upside down and he fall.
She send him to the school nurse
and she say Desmond just bump his head,
but ever since that time he been acting queer.
- How do you mean? Tired? - Yes, he sleep more and more.
Does he seem confused?
Maybe, but he's always waking up from a nap,
- so he just seems groggy, you know? - Okay.
- Does he have headaches? - He says they go away when he sleep.
- Is he going to be all right? - Yeah, of course.
I can tell a strong healthy boy when I see one.
But just to be safe, let's have the doctor take a look at him.
He'll be here within the hour. Do you mind waiting?
No, it's this or the emergency room
and I don't have that magic little card.
Well, I'm glad we can help.
Desmond! Desmond!
Oh my God, what's going on?
Hold him down and watch his mouth.
In three-- we need valproate now!
We're out of valproate.
Emma: Well, try the old supply cabinet.
We ran out last week. We don't have any.
Tegretol or depakote?
Desmond!
- ( Gurgling ) - Call 911.
Aricept, 23ml.
Exelon, I could only get them at 3mg,
so you're going to have to split them.
That comes in a patch too,
so let me know if you want to try it that way.
Reminyl. The generic's cheaper-- Galantamine.
I don't trust it. You get what you pay for.
Let me know what you want. Everything else is here.
Ari at 3, ex at 2, remi at 7--
can we hurry this up?
- You want to shop somewhere else? - No.
If you think that private corporations like Scientia
can do a better job of running our schools
than the people that we elected,
then why don't we just let them run the whole country?
Education is not a consumer product.
It is an inalienable right guaranteed to all of us.
If we sell this right to profiteers,
we defeat the purpose of education
to create thinking citizens capable of governing themselves.
I for one am not willing to give that up
so that Scientia can dictate how my kids learn
based on their return-on-investment projections--
- your two minutes is up. - No no.
It is up to me to decide that
when I go to the ballot box and elect my school board.
That's how it is done in a free democracy.
- Thank you. - ( Applause )
Hi, everyone.
Forgive me for dropping in unannounced,
but the matters involved here are too important.
When I went to school, this country was number one
in the world in math and science.
Today we're 48th. 48th.
Underperforming schools-- that's the real threat
to our children's freedom and future.
By outsourcing school services
like lunches, janitorial work and transportation,
we can increase the salaries of deserving teachers.
And because private companies are not bound by any union,
they can and will fire those teachers
who are doing a bad job, regardless of tenure.
Our purpose, after all, is to educate children,
not to protect bad teachers.
Does it make sense to pay inflated prices
for basketballs and school supplies
when they can be bought in bulk
and allocated across several school districts
for a fraction of the cost?
Now those costs are being put on you,
on your children, on their learning.
The problems in our public schools are fixable,
but we have to get our heads out of the clouds
and do the math.
This is not a problem of ideology;
it's about what works.
I think we all want what works.
Thanks for listening.
Meredith: I'm so glad to finally meet you.
My husband has told me great things about you.
I've been meaning to call you about a project I'm spearheading
over at children's memorial-- a neurology wing.
- I'd really love your input on-- - I'm sorry, Mrs. Kane,
but I really can't discuss anything about your husband with you.
Excuse me.
Narrator: Weakness is progressive,
muscle wasting and muscle fasciculation,
spasticity in the arms and legs
and overactive tendon reflexes.
Neurological tests indicate upper and lower neuron degeneration,
often eliciting the Babinski sign.
Transcranial stimulations and Enbrel injections
directly into the spinal vein
so far have proven ineffective,
as have stem cell transplantation
and gene therapy.
Stone: Tom...
What do you want to do?
With Solomou?
Yeah.
Sir, if I may, I just wanted to say
his loyalty has never been in question.
This was the first vote he ever broke ranks on.
My guess is he was sure the ordinance would pass without his vote and--
- when is he up for re-election? - This year.
Tell him he's going alone.
Sir, can I tell him?
Thank you.
( Speaking Spanish )
Alderman Mata? Excuse me.
What's your connection with Alberto ruiz, sir?
- I know you. - I know who you are.
You know who I am. We know who he is.
- Maybe we should stop and talk. - No.
Was it true he was given the contract at your insistence?
Maybe you know why his workers are being paid
to sit around and do nothing.
What about you? Will you talk?
Say something? Here, here's my card.
- ( Honks ) - Nice people.
Get stone on the phone.
( Laughing )
- ( Both laughing ) - Okay.
You can't just ask him?
Things are too complicated with my father.
He's not really someone you ask for help.
So what are you trying to say?
I thought that maybe you'd know some way
of getting the medicine for less.
( Scoffs )
Well, it's the main burden of the clinic.
If-- if we can't find a way of getting it for cheaper,
then they're going to close it down.
So you want to go into business with me?
I just don't want to lose the clinic.
You sure you know what you're doing?
That's all right. I shouldn't have asked.
No no.
( Sighs )
I'll see what I can do.
Okay?
Man: I don't know what I can do for you, Mac.
I'm asking for a runway, just enough to see us through the primary.
Yeah, but we've been here before.
You promised me O'Hare.
Yeah, and you could've gotten it
if Kane hadn't decided to fuck over the rest of Illinois.
It happened under your watch.
It can come around again.
How's it going to be different?
Each day is its own battle.
What I want right now, what I'm asking,
is to be in a position to take another look at it
when it does come around.
And I promise you, when it does this time,
you'll be the happy beneficiary,
guaranteed.
Here's what I know, Mac.
There are contracts right now in the hands
of some spic alderman and his spic kind--
Moco what have you.
And I'm left with my thumb up my ass
and my hard-working American crews
out in the cold with no jobs,
all because I backed the wrong horse.
It's a big state. I'll find you something great.
20 shopping malls-- that's what we're looking at
when we're looking at O'Hare money.
How long have we been friends, Jerry?
Come on.
- I think we're about finished here. - There's still a fight here.
Don't get emotional. I'm talking about investment.
You couldn't be doing this to me at a worse time,
I swear to God.
Come back to me when you've got something real.
Then we can talk. Quid pro quo.
You have a good day now.
You know, they ought to give some free concerts
in the city this summer.
Split them up between Ravinia and Millennium Park.
We've got the number-one symphony in the country.
We ought to give the people who actually live here
a chance to hear it sometime.
- Hey, Jack. Good to see ya. - Tom.
You've met Suzannah.
Yes, of course. Lovely to see you again.
- You know stony. - Hi.
Oh, Stravinsky. Dear God.
We have an understanding-- she gets season tickets
to the symphony, I get them to the Cubs.
And every once in a while we force each other to go.
Cubbies? You poor thing. How could you?
Say, tell that music critic of yours to throw
a good line or two in about the C.S.O.
Tell? I don't know. I can suggest it.
Music critics answer only to God and Mozart.
- ( Laughter ) - Jack, Suzannah.
( Cell phone buzzes )
I'll be right back.
Yeah. Whiskey, two. Glenlivet rocks?
This is stone.
I've been trying to reach you.
It's this guy from "The Chicago Sentinel"-- Miller.
His questions are getting more pertinent.
- Are you answering them? - No, of course not.
He interviewed Ruiz too.
- And? - Nothing.
He listens much better now.
Good. Keep it that way.
- Mata. - Oh, thank you.
A reporter sniffing around O'Hare.
- A problem? - No, not yet.
- What paper? - "The Sentinel."
Bentley. He's right over there.
Too soon for that.
Until it's something it's nothing
and we don't want to shine a light on nothing.
- Cheers. - Yes indeed.
Quid pro quo.
12 years he got every contract he asked for.
Swink wouldn't exist without me.
Fucking O'Hare!
If only we had known back then how much losing it
would come back to haunt us.
- You have an opinion? - No, sir.
We could try a Barton, sir.
- What? - David Barton.
He used Facebook and got 20,000 hits in one day.
Fields, when he ran for Lieutenant Governor,
won the primary by 5,000 votes.
Said it never would've happened without social media.
What we do is we put your face
to the right of your profile page--
what is this, the fucking children's crusade?
This is a primary. Pri-ma-ry.
We're talking about political obsessives,
medicaiders, nothing-to-doers, geriatrics.
Who the fuck else cares about primaries?
And you're showing me fucking Facebook?
For them it's a photo album.
Get that thing out of my face.
Reporter: You're watching the infamous footage here,
of course, of the intimate moment caught on tape
between the governor and what is purported to be his male escort.
Move on, for the love of God!
Mayor Kane, who has remained conspicuously silent...
Wait.
...was asked if the current Cullen controversy would have any effect
on his recent show of support for the governor.
Oh, you know me, guys.
I've always been an independent thinker.
I'm not about to change that now.
That's it:
Generous, fair, non-judgmental.
He just buried me alive.
Sir, what if you went and talked to him?
He hasn't committed himself one way or the other.
Maybe he just needs you to ask for his help.
You really do want to see me suck cock, don't you?
The kid's got something. Took me by surprise too.
I know. Let's just say it.
- He's got it all-- the youth, the looks... - Wife and kids.
( Laughs ) Makes perfect sense.
But is he coming in too soon?
There is a youth vote, but it isn't big, not in a primary.
I've got him beat with men over 50, so it's a wash.
He's nine points ahead with women,
but can he hold on to that with Walsh?
That's what I'm afraid of. He's untested.
It's a big risk-- too big.
( Chuckles )
15 years.
We've made a great team, Tom.
Send me back to Springfield one more time
and we can groom the kid together.
I'm telling you, in four years I guarantee you
he'll be able to take on the world.
Four years?
Four years.
Panem et circenses.
Tom?
Panem et circenses.
We have neglected our duties.
The people wait for only bread and circuses.
You okay, Tom?
Am I okay?
- Yeah yeah. You seem to-- - Am I okay?
Moral turpitude--
that's what I want to talk about.
You know why?
Because even though I am a bad man
and have done some bad fucking things,
I've always known why.
And when I look into the face of another bad man,
I see his deeds and I know his fucking soul.
You know what I see when I look at you, Mac?
A piece of shit, a stain,
a man whose moral turpitude taints the office he has
sworn to uphold,
compromises the people he has sworn to serve
and who doesn't even have the fucking competence
to do bad things well.
You don't deserve your position.
You don't deserve your place and title.
What you have...
I gave you.
You want to help me?
You don't have the stuff it takes.
So thank you
for your offer to help, governor,
but I'm afraid I must decline.
Get the fuck out of my office.
Excuse me, sir.
It's the right way to go.
We need fresh blood.
I'm right with you, Tom.
We'll make it work.
- What was that about? - What do you mean?
In there with Cullen, what just happened?
He gave us an opening. Why didn't we take it?
The mayor has decided to double down
on the state treasurer for governor.
Is there something about that that you don't understand?
- No. - Good.
Come in.
That is not a feature on Tom Kane.
It was. It led into something else.
Corruption in Chicago?
That's not news. That's a history lesson.
That's because you don't know where I'm going with it.
Okay, where are you going with it?
I am dropping one bread crumb at a time
to heighten the suspense.
You know, like Hitchcock--
the way he tells you only what he wants you to know
when he wants you to know it, to keep you on the edge of your seat?
Only more horrifying
with lots of plot twists.
Just get me the fuckin' story.
I didn't tell you to stop.
That's right.
Do what you do without me.
"The steed does not retain its speed forever."
( Pills rattling )
Well, to put it more colloquially,
the old gray mayor--
he ain't what he used to be.
You know, the biggest difference
between the old gray mare and the old gray mayor?
Peristalsis--
the muscular motion in the digestive track
that moves the food toward the belly.
The mare has a throat that's twice as large as the mayor.
So the animal can easily swallow pills as large as hockey pucks,
but the two-footed mayor--
he gags and chokes and heaves,
finally inducing reverse peristalsis,
which is just a $10 word for "vomits."
( Laughing )
My kingdom...
For a horse.
( Laughing )
No no, that's fine,
as long as you bring him back early.
No, he's got a soccer game at 9:00.
Okay, just tell him I love him
and I'll see him in the morning.
Please stay where you are. Don't run, don't scream.
It's not in your interest.
What do you want?
I'm here to discuss your relocation.
Relocation?
You'll be picked up in the morning at 9:00--
you and Max.
Whatever you can't take will be sent.
This is not a request.
Where?
That's not important right now.
You'll be comfortable there.
- How long for? - Permanently.
Well, what about my work? This house? People will ask--
you don't have to concern yourself with that.
Wh-- what if I say no?
You don't want your ex-husband
to have sole custody of your son.
I didn't tell her anything.
I didn't even know she'd be there.
We know.
We just want to ensure your comfort and safety.
( Truck approaching )
Boy: Now it's a machine gun.
( Ben laughing ) A cow with a machine gun?
Cows don't have machine guns. Rawr!
Hey, I just have a couple of last-minute changes
- I want to go over with you. - I'm a cow.
Okay. Be quiet. Sit still.
All right, so I think we should tread really lightly
on the listen versus the respond.
Just keep it really upbeat. Trust they're going to get it.
- Meet me later. - Your kids are right there.
I know. Meet me later.
We should start soon.
The boys are so loaded up on sugar,
I think we'll have to tie them down with anchors.
Not exactly the message we want to convey.
No.
Thank you for taking such good care of him.
And the mayor's support? We feel incredibly blessed.
- Don't we? - Blessed. Yes, we do.
- We do. - It's our pleasure.
- All right, back to work. - Yeah.
- I think we should. - Bye.
All right, back to work. You, come here.
( Laughing )
( Chattering )
( Chatter continues )
Come on.
- Man: Action! - So how do we fix what's broken?
Empty promises? Cookie-cutter solutions?
Things that haven't worked before won't again.
And business as usual will give us the usual business.
We need to listen to each other,
respond to our real concerns with real solutions.
This isn't about left/right, rich/poor;
it's about fixing what's wrong for all of us.
Right, buddy?
Together we can create a brighter tomorrow
for our children and our children's children.
One hour from now. Come on, say yes.
No.
Ben.
Good job today.
Ben: Are they buckled in?
- Maggie: No. - ( Ben laughs )
Did it ever bother you that of the three mayors
assassinated in this country,
two were from Chicago?
Harrison and Cermak.
Of course, the most that can be said of Harrison's death
is that it put a damper on the World's Columbia Exposition.
But Cermak--
thousands packed into Chicago Stadium for his funeral,
as if getting hit by the bullet intended for Roosevelt
made him some kind of fuckin' hero.
Galling, really.
Cermak's real accomplishments--
defeating Big Bill Thompson and bringing the city's factions together,
things that took real guts.
Nobody remembers those.
They don't care about what he did as mayor when he was alive.
All they remember is how he died--
taking a bullet for Roosevelt.
As if he had some choice.
- Do you even know who I am? - Woman: He does.
You looked like you could use a little something.
Oh.
We went for a nice walk today.
He knows everyone.
You'd think he were still the mayor.
He appreciates this, you know,
your taking the time to visit him.
How do you know?
I know when he feels good.
- It's in his eyes. - Hmm.
And I know when he doesn't, when he needs something.
You're tired.
( Plate clatters )
( Foghorn blares )
( Phone rings )
Camden Waste. Dara Prescott. Let's talk trash.
Hi, this is Sam Miller with "The Chicago Sentinel."
Yes, Sam Miller of "The Chicago Sentinel,"
what can I do for you?
I'm doing an article about the cost effectiveness
of interstate waste exportation
and I was wondering if I could ask you
- a couple of questions. - Shoot.
A-- a barge left the Port of Chicago two nights ago.
- Can you tell me if it's arrived yet? - Just a minute.
A barge carrying 2,178 tons
arrived at the transfer station
at 8:23 Eastern Standard Time.
That would be us.
And can you tell me what the waste consisted of?
The shipment will go through a waste identification process tomorrow.
But whatever it is, it ain't pretty,
- I can tell you that. - What do you mean?
It's got this sick chemical smell,
like if you mixed orange juice and Mr. Clean.
Thank you, Dara. You've been very helpful.
Oh, Inspector Gadget.
- Hey, man. - Hey.
- How ya doing? - ( Chuckles )
Working hard?
Resentment, anger, bitterness--
they'll make you sick, like drinking poison
and expecting someone else to die.
And the pain of feeling wronged,
of feeling righteous is an addiction,
twists you up, corrodes you inside.
An addiction--
an addiction you cannot break by yourself.
You have to turn to him.
Ask him to show you how
because he will not leave you
alone in the dark.
His compassion sounds loud,
his Grace casts a blinding light
and he will show you the way.
He is present always,
everywhere,
for in him we live and move and have our being.
Trust in him.
Surrender to him.
Ask him for help
and he will respond.
( Phone ringing )
Woman: Rush University Medical Center, can I help you?
Yes, can you connect me with Dr. Harris in neurology, please?
One moment, please.
I'm sorry, but Dr. Harris no longer works at this hospital.
Ma'am?
Yes, um,
I don't suppose she left a number where she can be reached?
No, I'm sorry. She didn't.
Thanks.
I thought we agreed to start things slowly--
phone calls, that kind of thing.
I wanted to see you.
You're pretty good up there.
Well, I'm trying to lighten it up a bit.
- You're a natural. - Like my father.
( Chuckles ) Yeah.
What do you want, Dad?
Lewy body.
Some kind of protein
up here
causes progressive decline--
mental, physical.
There is no cure.
I have it.
I'm sorry.
Me too.
Does mom know?
No.
No one knows. Just you.
And that's-- that's why you've been calling,
why you've been showing up.
- I wanted to see you. - Why?
- I thought-- - What?
That I'd take care of you?
Go with you on your doctor visits,
sit by you in your hospital bed?
I'm not that person. You're not that person.
I'm sorry.
Did you-- did you ever think to come here
just because you missed me?
Maybe because you just wanted to see me?
- I did. I do. - No.
The only thing you care about is you--
what you want, what you need.
I'm sorry, Dad. It's too late.
There's nothing here.
- Emma, wait. - What did you expect?
- ( Phone rings ) - Hello?
- Man: Mr. Miller? - Yeah, this is Miller.
Geo Labs.
I've got the results for the water sample you sent over.
( Jazz music playing )
It's nice of him to send you.
You must have known this would be the end.
Why did you do it?
Sometimes a vote is just a vote.
Right, but you knew this would happen.
So what are you going to do now?
I'm not sure--
go back to teaching.
Then again maybe not.
I don't know that I'm the one to inspire others
towards a life in politics.
You inspired me.
It's funny.
I've spent a lot of time imagining the future,
trying to envision how the end would come.
And when it does, it's got nothing to do
with the people you're serving
or what you had hoped you'd accomplish.
It's just politics.
I hope it'll be different for you.
( Sighs )
Buy you a drink?
Oh, no thanks.
It's been a long day.
Yeah.
Yeah, mine too.
You sure?
Mike here makes a mean Martini.
- Oh hey, what are you doing? - Shut up.
Sit still.
( Grunts )
Okay.
Let's go.
Stone: Something Homeland Security said about us having
the best surveillance of any city in the country.
Now the ACLU's up in arms. Usual bullshit--
that a camera on every corner,
especially ones with facial recognition,
is a breach of the right to privacy.
I told Myers to counter that the government's
actually interfering less because of them,
that they're functioning as deterrents
and that there have been fewer arrests
because citizens are actually self-monitoring their behavior
because they know they're being watched.
Anyway, that's it.
We can deal with it in the morning.
- Have a good night. - You too.
Watch yourself.
