American Crime Story 3x10

1. Everything can go in the bedroom. Thank you.

2. - Hi. I'm checked in. It's room 3405,

3. - you can come up now. - Okay.

4. Mom, how much does this room cost?

5. Don't worry about that.

6. Just tell me, how did it all go?

7. Most places don't want to do a book deal with me,

8. but there was one team that seemed kind of interested,

9. and they don't seem like a tabloid, which is good.

10. Did you get the feeling that they wanted you

11. to go into a lot of detail?

12. They said it would be my version of the story,

13. however I feel comfortable telling it.

14. And they said if I want, I can write it with Andrew Morton.

15. Guy who wrote Princess Diana's book with her.

16. - Wow. - That book was the...

17. the thing that finally let people see her side of it all.

18. Mom, we need to pay for these lawyers.

19. I know.

20. And maybe I'm naive, but...

21. it could give me a chance to show people who I really am.

22. Finally.

23. At all. Seriously. I mean...

24. Kavanaugh. Section two, subsection four of the grounds,

25. you put in, "Wanting to go down on her,

26. but she stops him"?

27. - So? - So, you're doing grounds for impeachment.

28. - Paul and I are doing the full narrative. - Right here.

29. She stopped him for a physical reason,

30. Ms. Lewinsky did then perform oral sex on him."

31. Take it out of your part.

32. Then my subsection four is just "He fondled her bare breasts

33. with his hands and mouth."

34. Okay, what... - The...

35. Why would I only describe half of what happened?

36. That whole day goes into his intent to arouse.

37. Yes, that's why it's in our section,

38. - which comes before yours. - You're assuming

39. that they're gonna be reading it in order.

40. What does that even mean? What other way is there to read it?

41. You're just pissed that I took Clinton

42. jerking off into a sink from you.

43. Okay, why is that even in the report?

44. I mean, how does it have anything

45. to do with him touching her with the intent to arouse?

46. - Shut up, Mikey. Emmick - You are such a commie.

47. can't handle her bullshit. - Hey.

48. Just leave it all where it is. We don't have time.

49. We have to start printing now.

50. Boys and girls, this is it.

51. What have we got here?

52. Great job, everybody.

53. Big day.

54. All right. Oh.

55. Here's the big guy.

56. The leader.

57. Everyone, if I may.

58. The media has accused us

59. of an unfair, partisan crusade,

60. a witch hunt that would inevitably come to nothing.

61. And they tried to kill your faith,

62. but they he did not know your fortitude.

63. So, in prayerful, steady, quiet,

64. you built this.

65. I am proud of this report.

66. It is thorough, bulletproof, irrefutably true.

67. It shows that no president is above the law.

68. That's good. Thank you, sir.

69. Hey. Must be how the Democrats felt

70. before they sacked Nixon, right?

71. Uh, you know what? Uh...

72. All right, I'll meet you down there.

73. I'll-I'll see you down there. I'll be right back.

74. - Hurry up! - All right.

75. - Myers. - Yeah, it's me. Our report is done.

76. I got a van ready to roll, less than five minutes.

77. - What? - Yeah.

78. Call New York. Tell them to put Brokaw on a desk.

79. Get me a camera crew and a producer.

80. I'm going to the Capitol.

81. Hey. What's up?

82. David, do you have a comment on Ken Starr's report being done?

83. - I hear it's on its way to the Capitol. - W-What, today?

84. - Nope, now. - Now?

85. - Right no...

86. Hello? - Betty. It's David.

87. Is the president in?

88. No one on the Hill got a heads-up?

89. How is that even possible?

90. MAN and try to get some answers for you.

91. Again, it's, uh, what is unfolding.

92. Mr. President? David Kendall.

93. - David. - I just got a call from NBC

94. asking for comment.

95. Ken Starr's report is on its way.

96. - To us? - To the Capitol, sir.

97. Guys, can we get your help down here?

98. You can open up that up. Open up the back. Come on.

99. Take the red ones.

100. I need the red ones into the minivan.

101. The rest go up to the committee.

102. Hey, Dan.

103. What?

104. Monica, get in here.

105. Newt Gingrich and the sergeant at arms

106. were only notified about the arrival of the report

107. a short time ago.

108. Oh, my God.

109. What we're watching right now is the Capitol Police...

110. How fast can we get our hands on that report?

111. Ingraham might know. She's dating Lindsey Graham now.

112. Four years, Mike.

113. Nothing worth doing is easy, right? Huh?

114. Come on.

115. - What's in it? - We still don't have a copy.

116. When will we?

117. Very soon, like everyone else.

118. The hell does that mean?

119. Congressional leadership decidd to put it on the Internet.

120. The complete report.

121. Here we go.

122. The seal will be broken

123. by the sergeant at arms of the House,

124. and they will begin making Xerox copies of this report.

125. So, the followings things you should know,

126. that on the CBS website, if you want to get the report

127. during, uh, this afternoon, this is our Internet address.

128. Uh, we'll have a special broadcast...

129. coming up on this CBS station,

130. we'll bring you the details, uh, of the Starr Report

131. as soon as we get them.

132. There'll be complete coverage, of course,

133. on tonight's CBS Evening News.

134. Do you think we could get a couple of copies over here?

135. I need it. I'm on in 30 seconds.

136. - Now... Wait, what is it? What?

137. Wait, what did it say?

138. - Oh, my God. - Holy shit.

139. - Oh, my God. - Page 174, "He put a cigar in her..."

140. - Why don't we give you a second

141. to take a deep breath so you can scan that over?

142. - Did you get it? - Not yet.

143. Is it arriving?

144. Hello?

145. Oh, it's your dad.

146. Um, no, no, it's-it's just a white page.

147. There's a-a little, um, an hourglass,

148. and it-it's just turning.

149. - Uh, what does that mean? - It's trying to load, Mom.

150. Okay, well... Oh, well...

151. He says that his nurses are having trouble

152. putting it on their computers, too.

153. Well, why-why don't you just ask a resident?

154. Wouldn't that help?

155. - I got it. I got it. - What does it say?

156. Hold on, hold on. I'm at the table of contents.

157. Oh, my God, November 15.

158. "Sexual encounter."

159. Go to it. Go to it!

160. This goes into considerable detail,

161. some of which I won't go into.

162. Uh, let me just read one passage...

163. Oh, my God, Mom. You have to tell Dad not to read this.

164. Bernie, don't look at it. Don't look at it.

165. He fucked her

166. with a cigar.

167. What?

168. - Right here. - I'm sure it doesn't say that.

169. "The president inserted a cigar into Miss Lewinsky's vagina,

170. then put the cigar in his mouth and said, 'It tastes good.'"

171. - Am I high? - No.

172. Did I take LSD?

173. No, this is real.

174. This is a real report to U.S. Congress.

175. Ms. Lewinsky testified, "When I was working there

176. "in the White House, we'd start in the back,

177. "in or near his private study,

178. "and we'd talk, and that was where

179. we were physically intimate."

180. Aside from his family, friends and staff,

181. which I don't know exactly which category that would be i.

182. So, at one time during this relationship,

183. the president was complaining, uh, that

184. he was getting bad treatment from Monica...

185. - Oh, come on.

186. Uh, here's another...

187. - Come on.

188. No, no, no, no, no, no!

189. Goddamn it!

190. According to Ms. Lewinsky, she noticed stains on the garment

191. the next time she took it from her closet.

192. From their location, she surmised,

193. in essence, that the stains— I'm paraphrasing now—

194. um, were in essence, the president's, uh, bodily fluid.

195. Wait, what? I don't understand where any of this happened.

196. Right by the Oval Office.

197. Poor Monica.

198. Why would she tell them all this detail?

199. During this time, the president took a phone cal,

200. so we moved into another office where, uh,

201. she allegedly performed oral sex on the president.

202. Uh, I think I ought to read

203. some more of this. I may go down a little...

204. Sir, the whole Internet is down. We're doing everything

205. we can to bring it back up. I don't understand

206. - why you're using this tone... - No, I have this tone, sir,

207. because I am paying you to host a political news site,

208. which you apparently can't keep running, even in the middle

209. of the biggest political news story of our lives!

210. Mr. Drudge, we can do a post saying it's not updating

211. - right now. - No, I don't want you to post.

212. I need to post! I need to post!

213. The government is falling. Fix it!

214. "The president zipped up quickly and went out.

215. "Ms. Lewinsky remembers laughing because he walked out

216. to his office visibly aroused." Uh...

217. - Wait, fuck. Hey, fuck, it's not loading.

218. - The servers are down. - Try the Library of Congress site.

219. Uh, that's been crashed for an hour.

220. - Wait, Kim, do you have it? - I loaded the file.

221. Yeah, come on, come on. Let's see.

222. - Come on, come on. I need to see. - Shut up.

223. Shut up, I'm reading.

224. Huh, he ejaculated.

225. - Ew. - Oh, my God.

226. Ken Starr wrote this?

227. Ken Starr, who probably conceived his children

228. through a hole in the wall

229. between his garage and his prayer room?

230. These chapter titles. "Ms. Lewinsky's Frustrations"?

231. Like Danielle Steel.

232. Oh, hold on. Okay, finally, on page 154.

233. I'm-I'm looking at a legal argument.

234. "grounds for impeachment."

235. It... No, it's just more sex.

236. What were they doing?

237. I don't know, but it is spectacular.

238. Hey, I need those stats. Do you have them?

239. In the whole report, the word "impeachment" appears

240. 15 times, "breasts" 62 times,

241. "cigar" 23 times, "semen" 19 times,

242. "vagina," five times,

243. "genital" or "genitalia" 64 times.

244. "Love" 18 times.

245. That's right, Tom, the scene here at the Capitol

246. is one of palpable shock.

247. Page 18, it describes phone sex

248. between the president and Monica Lewinsky.

249. This, according to her testimony.

250. Page 32, a form of a sex game allegedly played

251. by the president and Monica Lewinsky.

252. She had orgasms on three or four occasions

253. when he touched her genitals.

254. Once he covered her mouth

255. to keep her quiet as she orgasmed.

256. I mean, Strom Thurmond is reading this right now.

257. - Yeah, with one hand. - I need to take a shower.

258. Yeah, I can't believe the OIC did this.

259. You know, nobody's gonna read this

260. a-and think about his actual crimes.

261. Okay, relax, Conway.

262. Yes, Bill Clinton is the most shameless

263. coagulum of skin ever born in a trailer park,

264. but even he can't withstand this.

265. - You think he'll resign? - It's too humiliating.

266. He embarrassed the country.

267. He embarrassed humanity. He's done.

268. It's...

269. It's hundreds

270. - of pages of... - I've read it.

271. Mr. President, it's vile.

272. But ultimately, what they are arguing

273. is possible perjury in a minor lawsuit

274. on a topic totally unrelated to Paula Jones herself.

275. That that is a crime against the republic—

276. y... no sane person would find that impeachable.

277. Have you met Republican leadership?

278. You're right.

279. I spoke to Schumer just now.

280. The GOP is writing up the articles.

281. Of course they are. They were always going to.

282. Honestly, sir, I-I...

283. I think that Starr has made a huge mistake.

284. This whole thing is completely out of proportion.

285. It's way too personal.

286. That'll be our argument.

287. Well, go make it.

288. Hillary.

289. I haven't read it.

290. I won't read it.

291. But Chelsea has.

292. Listen, the truth is on your side.

293. This is impeachment, So hang in there.

294. Good luck, kid. Now...

295. if it's not too much trouble, back into me.

296. Yeah, no, slowly. Yeah.

297. No, no, no, no. Oh.

298. Yeah, baby. Is that a thong?

299. - Shipoopi.

300. I'm just going to, uh, Semmes, Bowen & Semmes.

301. Sign in, please.

302. Can I see photo ID?

303. - Go ahead. - Thank you.

304. - That's Linda Tripp.

305. You doing okay?

306. I've, uh, I've been sending emails to Ken Bacon,

307. asking to return to my duty station at the Pentagon.

308. - You have to stop contacting him. - I know he won't reply,

309. but I had the idea to, uh, create a paper trail.

310. I-I understand that you don't think it wise

311. - to file suit against DoD... - L-Linda, stop.

312. T-That's enough, that's enough.

313. We...

314. We have a serious problem in Maryland.

315. I heard from the state prosecutor's office,

316. and they are preparing an indictment against you

317. for the taping.

318. What?

319. T-That that's not possible.

320. I have immunity from prosecution.

321. They're arguing you have federal immunity and not state.

322. That's not at all what I was told.

323. Uh, call Judge Starr.

324. This area of the law is-is a little complicated.

325. It's not complicated.

326. The Starr Report only exists

327. because I called OIC one night and offered access

328. to my tapes in exchange for full immunity.

329. I made the extraordinary decision

330. to pick up that phone precisely

331. so that this would never, ever happen.

332. You have to make them stop.

333. Linda, Maryland is a Democratic state.

334. - And I don't know how to put this nicely,

335. but prosecuting you for the tapings is a very popular idea.

336. Well, that's horrifying, but actually,

337. it shouldn't matter because I have immunity,

338. Which I will argue before a judge,

339. but we have to prepare for the possibility of a trial.

340. And unfortunately, given all the charged emotions

341. around this case,

342. Monica Lewinsky will be a very persuasive witness.

343. Monica?

344. She would come testify against you.

345. That can't happen.

346. That cannot happen.

347. We'll do our best to fight it.

348. Do you understand what my life is like right now?

349. Every day there is a new investigation being launched

350. against me by some arm of the government.

351. - It's just... - I'm being locked out of my job.

352. I can't go anywhere without being sneered at.

353. Every night, I-I go check on all of my locks on my doors

354. and then-then, I just lie there, awake in bed, terrified,

355. because people know where I live.

356. I tried to do the right thing.

357. I trusted our institutions to protect a person like me,

358. but instead I've been abandoned to an unceasing nightmare

359. in which everyone on the planet somehow agrees

360. that in this whole, god-awful national tragedy,

361. I'm the villain.

362. It doesn't make any sense.

363. A group of leading feminists held a press conference today

364. to show their support for President Clinton

365. as impeachment charges swell in the House.

366. We are witnessing a revenge campaign

367. to hound President Clinton out of office.

368. As feminist leaders, we will not stand idly by

369. while Congress, made up of nearly 90% men,

370. attempt to remove the first president

371. elected by women voters.

372. Meanwhile, reports today that the House Judiciary Committee

373. will soon release the 37 tapes.

374. It is 22 hours of information, conversations secretly...

375. Hey.

376. I'm making some coffee if you want some.

377. - Sure. - Ugh, I need to wake up.

378. I have to talk to my lawyers later.

379. Um, I'm, uh, I'm gonna go with Golden Delicious.

380. Monica?

381. I didn't read it.

382. Are you searching for wisdom in your life?

383. Hi, I'm Paula Jones. That's right.

384. Connect with me and I will guie you with answers and advice.

385. Get help finding love, money or the career you deserve.

386. Call 1-900-884-1221, and I will inform you

387. of your future. Satisfaction guaranteed.

388. Paula?

389. Preston, what are you doing, honey?

390. - Mama, c-can you watch him? - Oh, I'm sorry.

391. Hello, this is the Celebrity Psychic Friends Network.

392. This is Paula Jones. What is your name?

393. Um, it's Ginger.

394. Oh, hello, Ginger.

395. I'm-I'm so glad you called.

396. Are you having to make a big decision in,

397. uh, in your life,

398. or should I just tell you what I'm sensing?

399. - Uh, Ginger,

400. I am sensing that you are at a crossroads in your life.

401. Do you feel that there is someone

402. who is holding you back from taking the right path?

403. Ginger?

404. Ginger, have you been drinking, girl?

405. - Someone wants to talk to you. - Shh! Shh!

406. Oh, okay.

407. MAN Hey, Paula, you seen my saxophone?

408. I need you to blow on it.

409. At least you're getting calls.

410. If they hang up before five minutes, I get nothing.

411. What are we gonna do?

412. I don't see why Steve can't help more.

413. Still doesn't have a job, Mommy. He's got nothing to send.

414. Well. Well, last night, I got to thinking,

415. can't you go and get your job with the state again?

416. - They know you. - Mama, no one's gonna

417. hire me there after everything.

418. I can't even get a job at the Pizza Hut on Center

419. 'cause they said that I would distract

420. the customers and the clientele.

421. Honey, you can always stay here as long as you need.

422. Can't she? I want you both here.

423. Now, come on.

424. Come out with us, baby.

425. - It'll be fun. Okay. - It's okay.

426. All right.

427. - Mom... - Don't... Go do it.

428. Don't let Grandma smash you.

429. Oh, my God.

430. Monica. - Plato, are you watching?

431. They're about to release them.

432. We've been through this. We had no way to stop it.

433. Yes, I know, I-I thought...

434. I just thought that you could just call Kenneth Starr, okay?

435. And you could tell him that I have to release a statement

436. because I have to say how sorry I am about all this,

437. and that I'm-I'm sorry, Hillary, and I'm sorry to Chelsea.

438. - Okay? Please. - Monica, you're under a gag order.

439. You do not understand how bad these tapes are.

440. Okay? And this is the first time

441. that the public's gonna hear my voice. I...

442. - I understand. - I just want to say two sentences.

443. That's it.

444. I know, but Starr will never allow it.

445. Not until after you testify. I'm sorry.

446. - Barb, I'm just gonna stay in today.

447. Hi.

448. - Actually not Barb. - Oh, my God!

449. How have you been?

450. It's crazy, I never hear anything about you.

451. How are you here?

452. I heard they might be playing the tapes today,

453. so I thought I'd get on a plane and come distract you.

454. Cat, that's...

455. Um...

456. - Jesus Christ. - It's just Estazolam.

457. Don't worry, I was gonna sleep through it.

458. This isn't my first day like today,

459. - and I've learned to plan ahead. - Oh.

460. Well, I had a different plan.

461. What?

462. Okay, I think we have our first tape queued up

463. and ready to go here.

464. A conversation between Monica Lewinsky

465. and Linda Tripp concerning various topics.

466. Let's listen.

467. Any news on the job front?

468. Ugh. No, but I just got back from the mall,

469. and I bought you a mixtape to kick-start your workout pla.

470. I think you'll like it, 'cause it's songs for your generation.

471. What songs? "Heard It Through the Grapevine."

472. Okay. "Stop! In the Name of Love."

473. - Do Like any of those songs? No, Monica. I don't.

474. Did you read it?

475. Of course not.

476. Well, that makes, uh, you and my dad out of six billion.

477. At least you helped the whole world

478. learn how to use the Internet.

479. Not really how I wanted to contribute to society.

480. Okay.

481. It's not all you'll do in life.

482. Oh, really? What do you see for me? I'm gonna...

483. what, open a school for troubled children, or...

484. - Sure. - Hi, I'm Monica Lewinsky.

485. - I'm gonna teach your kids now. - Why not?

486. Okay. Hi, I'm Monica Lewinsky,

487. and today we're gonna learn about the great men

488. that have served as President of the United States.

489. And who better to speak to that?

490. - You're wrong.

491. That's not nice.

492. - Oh, God, I haven't laughed in a long time. - Oh.

493. Look... next year, you'll be in New York.

494. We'll be at some mediocre brunch place,

495. and you'll be telling me about some funny date you had.

496. Yeah, it's gonna go really well for me.

497. I just need to find someone who's been in a...

498. - a coma for a really long time. - Stop.

499. No, you don't get it.

500. It's that or it's a long line of guys

501. that just want to brag to their friends

502. that they did everything that's in the Starr Report.

503. - You can weed those guys out. - And be left with what—

504. a decent person who wants to start a family?

505. Yes.

506. Cat, you're looking at the best-selling

507. Halloween costume this year.

508. - That's who you're on hike with. - I know.

509. Came with a cigar.

510. I know.

511. Saw that.

512. - I bought one for myself. - What?

513. Oh, my God.

514. Look at that.

515. Wow.

516. What?

517. - Nothing. - Aw.

518. Had to think about the tapes.

519. I can't help it. There're that bad.

520. They put me in a conference room,

521. and I had to sit and listen to each tape

522. - and sign that it was me. - What?

523. I was so sad at that time,

524. and she captured every single second of it.

525. When I listen to it back, I mean, it's...

526. it's so clear she knew she was taping.

527. In the moment, I had no idea, and...

528. God, the things you say when you're not even thinking.

529. I mean, the random shit that comes out of your mouth

530. when you're just-just talking,

531. killing time on the phone to a friend,

532. and when I talk about him...

533. I-I clearly couldn't see how bad it was at the time

534. because I did not recognize myself.

535. I sound...

536. so lost and-and obsessed and desperate.

537. Totally out of control.

538. And now everyone gets to listen to it.

539. And watch it on TV.

540. Hey.

541. It's either moping on this hill,

542. or making the 1:00 You've Got Mail.

543. Meg.

544. - Good answer.

545. Well, I mean, it... Look, it's fascinating.

546. Linda Tripp in that nasal tone, manipulating

547. the higher-pitch Monica Lewinsy

548. Let me just say one thing.

549. Nobody deserves Linda Tripp.

550. You know, for the life of me, I don't understand

551. how you work with someone every day,

552. you look them in the eyes as a friend,

553. and then at night you go home and hit the on button

554. on your RadioShack tape recorder.

555. To me, you do that,

556. you lose membership in the human family.

557. Hey.

558. You all right?

559. Yeah. I am, actually.

560. All right, so, uh, in summation...

561. What Lewinsky might find is that the public is very fickle,

562. that men in sex scandals often get second chances,

563. and that women rarely do.

564. Well, can you imagine your son coming home and sayin,

565. "I'm going to marry Monica Lewinsky"?

566. Is the congressman in?

567. - He's at a fundraiser. - I need to show you something.

568. I'm working on the impeachment charges.

569. I've been digging into the appendices.

570. My whole life is Ken Starr's appendices.

571. - Sounds fun. - I kept hitting this footnote

572. about one of the Paula Jones witnesses.

573. Jane Doe 5.

574. She had some kind of messed-up encounter with Clinton.

575. - What do you mean, "messed-up"? - That's just it. It was confusing.

576. And the source it pointed to wasn't anywhere I can find.

577. Then I realized— it's in the vault.

578. This is where they keep all the sealed evidence.

579. Shut that.

580. Jane Doe 5 filed this affidavit last year,

581. saying she never had any encounter with Bill Clinton.

582. But here is what she told the FBI this year

583. when they came to follow up on it.

584. Who knows about this?

585. Juanita, my name is Richard Perry.

586. I work with Congressman Lindsey Graham.

587. The congressman would like to have

588. an informal phone conversation with you.

589. Please give us a call back at 202-555-7893.

590. Hi, Mike Walker with the National Enquirer.

591. I've got a cash offer I would like to talk to you about.

592. Give me a buzz back at 310-555-0122.

593. Hi, Juanita, this is Lisa Myer.

594. I'm a reporter with NBC News.

595. I wonder if you and I could talk.

596. The date. Right. Okay, all right.

597. Where do I look when I'm talking?

598. To me, just like a normal conversation.

599. When will we know when it'll air?

600. NBC should decide soon.

601. But don't worry, I won't let it take you by surprise.

602. But it'll be before it's all over, the impeachment?

603. I have every reason to believe it will.

604. Are you ready?

605. - Okay, we are rolling.

606. If the impeachment vote were today,

607. it would be 204 yeas, 195 nays

608. and 35 undecided.

609. - Where is Shays? - Undecided right now.

610. Wh... I thought we had him.

611. A lot of the moderates are leaning no,

612. - but they're getting pressure from the right.

613. The whole goddamn party is going insane.

614. We-we just need to keep giving them reasons

615. - to stay in our tent. - Yeah, I-I'm going crazy doing nothing.

616. I feel I should be working the phones.

617. Sir, you know you can't do that.

618. - I-If that got out... - I do... I have, uh, one thought.

619. Some of the undecideds are in districts

620. where the first lady is pretty popular,

621. and we thought that if she were to make

622. a few targeted calls, it-it might help.

623. Uh, people, they want to hear from Hillary.

624. - Maybe you could talk to her staff. - Sure.

625. - Absolutely, Mr. President, - Mr. President.

626. Have you seen the polling? Hillary's numbers are insane.

627. God, if you had told me in 1992 she'd ever be this popular,

628. I'd have thought you were on crack.

629. The Vogue shoot is next week.

630. They want to use The Roosevelt Room.

631. Okay, whatever they think is best.

632. Ma'am, Congressman Rangel.

633. Hey, Charlie, what can I do for you?

634. Moynihan's making it official he's retiring.

635. There's going to be an open Senate seat

636. in the great state of New York.

637. The whole party here, all of us—

638. down to the girl who gets the coffees—

639. you're our first choice, Hillary.

640. What do you say?

641. She's good at it. You ready?

642. - Oh. Oh, bravo!

643. So good.

644. Want to try another one? Okay.

645. Keep on hitting the pool.

646. Hello.

647. Paula? It's Susan.

648. Oh, my gosh. Susie!

649. I miss you.

650. Um, I'm actually...

651. - I'm coming out there soon. - Yes, I know.

652. I also heard who's bringing you out and what for.

653. Paula?

654. This is the worst thing that you could possibly do.

655. Many of our friends are very distraught

656. over your psychic hotline.

657. - Oh, you know, that was just me reading a script. - No, no, no.

658. It is against our religion, Paula.

659. It deals with the occult,

660. but I defended you.

661. I said, "It's not her, it's a mistake.

662. Let it go."

663. But now this?

664. This I cannot defend.

665. - I won't. - Well, you-you don't have to,

666. because it is just, um,

667. an interview about my experience,

668. um, you know, with the case.

669. - It is Penthouse magazine.

670. No, but-but they said that, um...

671. They said it was just a few tasteful photos.

672. You know, real tasteful.

673. It is cowardly to lie to yourself about what this is

674. and what men use this magazine for.

675. Susie.

676. I have legal problems, tax problems,

677. that I don't... I don't even understand.

678. Something about my legal fund being set up all wrong.

679. - And... - No, no, no, no. Don't.

680. Don't try to blame this on the many generous people

681. - who have helped you. - Well, I'm not, I'm not,

682. but nobody...

683. nobody is around anymore,

684. and, um...

685. I can't get a job here, so, um...

686. So I don't... I don't have a choice.

687. Of course you have a choice.

688. Now, you are going to hang up

689. and call them and tell them that you are backing out.

690. I already signed it.

691. I can't do that.

692. Susie, I need the money.

693. Mrs. Clinton.

694. Yeah, I pinch myself to get to work

695. - in all these beautiful houses.

696. Let's get you up to Teresa.

697. She takes you through the work. Come on up.

698. - I would like you to sit on the sofa,

699. - if you don't mind. - Okay.

700. Your hair

701. holds the sexy texture so well.

702. I know.

703. Gosh, the past few years,

704. people have been making me wear it so flat, but...

705. I like my hair happy,

706. and I like to dress pretty and attractive, and...

707. I don't know what's so wrong with that.

708. Some people try to make you feel bad

709. - for looking good. - Right? I know.

710. - What do you think? - Oh, I love it.

711. Oh, you are so talented. Thank you so much.

712. - Gosh, I wish I could do that.

713. - Can I ask you something? - Mm-hmm.

714. Just between us?

715. When you were alone with the President in that room...

716. you did it, didn't you?

717. Thank you.

718. - Is that what she's wearing? - Yeah.

719. All right, Paula. Uh, just relax, relax.

720. - Put your arms down. That's good. Okay.

721. Good, just open this up a little bit.

722. - Uh, lean forward. Good.

723. Uh, lean forward. Let me see what that looks like.

724. Okay, good.

725. - Can you look right at me? - Yeah.

726. Perfect.

727. Can you put your leg up on that banister?

728. - Okay. - Yeah.

729. - Now do you knee. Great. - Okay.

730. Okay, give me a profile.

731. All right, we got it. Let's do the nudes.

732. Tony, let me talk to you for a sec.

733. - Go slay it. Okay.

734. Here we go.

735. - Having fun, Paula? - Oh, so much fun.

736. Uh, I'm gonna put you right up there.

737. - Okay. - Oh, Paula, Paula.

738. Take your top off.

739. You agreed to the nudes. Remember?

740. Uh, right. Yes, um...

741. Uh, we said they were gonna be really tasteful, right?

742. Of course they will be, sweetheart.

743. Now can I please see you without your top on?

744. - Go ahead. - Okay.

745. All the way off.

746. Great. Good.

747. Bottoms, too.

748. - That's great. That's good.

749. - Good, let me see you smile.

750. Podesta says we just lost Castle.

751. Nine are going with him, and now Shays is leaning yes.

752. The fuck is going on?

753. Do you know a woman named Juanita Broderick?

754. - She's a... - I know who she is.

755. She was a campaign supporter in the '70s.

756. Why are you asking?

757. She's the reason we're losing the votes.

758. Well, that doesn't make any sense.

759. You know, the lunatic right in Little Rock

760. tried to start a rumor about me and her years ago.

761. She said many times it isn't true.

762. She said it under oath.

763. She even came out this year and said nothing happened

764. - in an affidavit. - Well, that's the problem.

765. Apparently, she told Starr's agents

766. that affidavit was a lie.

767. Starr put the FBI 302 in with the sealed evidence

768. that got sent to the Hill.

769. - What does it say? Be specific. - We don't have access,

770. but I have heard from several people

771. that it says

772. that you assaulted her.

773. She's fucking lying.

774. You know, they take these women

775. and they hound 'em and they scare 'em.

776. 20 years they've been working on her

777. until she finally broke.

778. It's fucking insane.

779. And fucking Starr takes his little poison pill

780. and puts it in his little box.

781. He knows what he's doing.

782. I can't fight a charge I can't even see.

783. You know, they-they create a lie about me

784. and another lie and another lie,

785. and I can't... I can't even get the truth out,

786. because if I say anything

787. then i-it just brings it more attention.

788. But when they spread something like this,

789. you know, once-once it gets out, there's nothing you can do.

790. It never goes away.

791. It's a lie.

792. It's another fucking lie.

793. It's... it's not even a new one.

794. Well, I know, sir, but I got to tell you,

795. Sid says that she is doing a sit-down with Dateline.

796. - When? - We don't know.

797. But no matter what, it is tipping the undecideds

798. to yes on impeachment.

799. Holy crap, she's here.

800. - I can't believe she would show her face.

801. Ah!

802. There's a broad who could use a goddamn drink.

803. - Hi.

804. All right, come on, let's get sauced.

805. Oh...

806. So, tell me,

807. what's it like to be incredibly notorious?

808. Well...

809. The White House and Pentagon have, uh, deployed

810. a multipronged strategy

811. to destroy my career and my reputation.

812. And now the state of Maryland is-is pursuing

813. an extrajudicial political prosecution

814. - against me. - Jesus.

815. Clearly, Mrs. Clinton has made a few calls,

816. but you know how it is.

817. As long as there's no curiously-timed Mack truck

818. in my future, I'll consider myself lucky.

819. Well, the upside to being cast as a black cat

820. in this fiasco is that you're too famous

821. to be on their kill list.

822. Let's hope so.

823. Listen, I wanted you to hear this for me first.

824. Monica's doing a book.

825. St. Martin's Press, half a mil.

826. That got Andrew Morton to write it with her,

827. like he did for Lady Di.

828. That book was a smash.

829. Diana?

830. Yeah.

831. - It'll be huge. - Princess Diana.

832. You dong the president, you get the rewards.

833. Everyone wants to hear from Monica.

834. Well...

835. She finally has the attention she has always craved.

836. I bet she is absolutely loving this.

837. Look, I can make a few calls,

838. see if one of the small conservative presses might bite,

839. but the truth is...

840. the truth is the Starr Report's already put all the goods out

841. on the avenue, the market's gone soft,

842. and with Monica...

843. This was never about a book for me.

844. All right.

845. But you can't say we didn't have fun.

846. Mmm. God, I'll miss the Clintons when they go.

847. They were great for books.

848. Come on, let's go make the rounds.

849. No, all right, well, then I'll take care of it.

850. - I mean, we just need to...

851. Got to drop our stuff...

852. - Yes, please, please. Can we? - Yes.

853. Excuse me. Do you know, uh, is the restaurant here any good?

854. Oh, uh, yes, very classic.

855. - Their Cobb salad is famous.

856. Are you Linda Tripp?

857. You did a hideous thing.

858. Well said. What?

859. What's going on?

860. I'm just planning my day for tomorrow.

861. NSA briefing in the morning.

862. Lunch with Podesta.

863. Impeached in the afternoon.

864. Then I'll face the country.

865. History will savage them, Bill.

866. That's fine.

867. I just don't know what we do right now.

868. we keep fighting.

869. We're not done. Not even close.

870. Here is Dan Rather.

871. Good day, from the nation's capital,

872. on a solemn and pivotal day

873. for the president, for the Congress and the country.

874. They're voting on Article I.

875. Charging the president with perjury before a grand jury.

876. I think what you may be seeing is Democrats leaving the chambr

877. to go out to the front steps of the House.

878. They intend to stay out for just a short period of tim.

879. On this vote, the yeas are 228,

880. the nays are 206.

881. - Article I is adopted.

882. This is how history will change—

883. with the sound of laughter in the background.

884. William Jefferson Clinton has been impeached

885. by the House of Representatives

886. on at least one article.

887. This guarantees that this will go to the Senat.

888. Want to hear a joke?

889. There's this guy

890. caught on a cliff in a storm.

891. Wind and rain raging.

892. He's trying to hold on to a branch.

893. It's about to slip out of his hands.

894. He's about to fall.

895. He looks up and he says,

896. "Why me, God?"

897. And God looks down on him and says...

898. "I just don't like you."

899. Matt Drudge here, Fox News,

900. somewhere in midtown Manhattan.

901. NBC bigwigs at war

902. over their Juanita Broaddrick interview.

903. Monica back in D.C. to testify

904. and Paula Jones in Penthouse.

905. Joining me here to talk about all this at the desk

906. is Ann Coulter, author of High Crimes and Misdemeano.

907. Ann, what's your take on all this?

908. Um, let me just say, Juanita Broaddrick

909. is very credible, but even worse than that

910. is Paula Jones.

911. I'm deeply, pathetically

912. despondent over what she's done.

913. I mean, she was our Rosa Parks.

914. She was the hero in "a David and Goliath" conflict.

915. She used to have dignity

916. and nobility and tremendous courage.

917. And now?

918. Turns out she's just the trailer park trash they said she was.

919. - Oh. Did you like my set?

920. I told them Dragnet meets Star Trek.

921. It's very fun. It's so unusual.

922. How do you think I'm doing?

923. You're so good at sitting still out there.

924. Oh, takes practice.

925. You'll do it.

926. That's what Roger Ailes just said.

927. It takes time.

928. When does this air again?

929. Saturday night at 9:00.

930. Oh, well, that's a great time for a news show.

931. God.

932. what about you? Would you ever want to do your own show?

933. I was told

934. I would get too many FCC violations.

935. Oh, well, I'm not crying for you,

936. - Ms. New York Times Best Seller. - Oh.

937. You know, I'm doing a segment on this moment.

938. What do you mean?

939. Our moment.

940. It's the dawn of a new conservative era.

941. Can't argue, we're all in demand.

942. Even Ingraham.

943. But, Drudge, the sitting president

944. of the United States is a felon.

945. We exposed him— you, me,

946. Conway... Starr exposed

947. more disgusting detail than we even knew existed.

948. But if he ran

949. for a third term today, he'd win.

950. Hillary, a walking void

951. of charisma, a sentient bag of ice chips

952. is-is so popular right now.

953. She's going to be in the Senate.

954. We showed this country exactly who they are and they said,

955. "Yes, please, could we have some more?"

956. They're who America want in power.

957. Not us.

958. Oh, I don't know if it's all that bleak.

959. The head of our justice system lied under oath

960. and got off scot-free.

961. We have no rule of law anymore.

962. But sure, Drudge, don't worry,

963. our side is going to run

964. the stupidest Bush for president.

965. Oh, and the impotent GOP is calling

966. on our secret weapon for the thousandth time.

967. I cannot believe they're calling her in again.

968. She must hate it.

969. Oh, she'll be fine.

970. If there's one thing we know she loves,

971. it's being in a room with old men.

972. It's true.

973. It'll be three Republican members of congress.

974. They don't have enough votes to convict him,

975. so they're gonna try to rattle you.

976. - Have you say something different than... - This is my 22nd time

977. being questioned about this. I got it.

978. You signed an affidavit stating you never

979. had sexual relations with the president.

980. Was that untrue?

981. Yes, it was, as I stated in my prior testimony.

982. So do you believe it was in President Clinton's

983. best interest for you to lie on that affidavit?

984. I don't really feel comfortable speaking what he believed

985. to be in his best interest.

986. Well, it certainly wasn't in your own best interest.

987. No, actually it was.

988. Why w... why would it be in your best interest

989. to file a false affidavit?

990. 'Cause I was trying to avoid testifying in public

991. about a personal relationship like I'm doing right now.

992. Can we move along here?

993. I'm paying my lawyers umpteen thousand dollars an hour.

994. It's coming out of my pocket.

995. Please, can we get this over with?

996. Miss Lewinsky, Miss Lewinsky.

997. The, uh, president wanted us to relay

998. a message to you on his behalf.

999. We just wanted to express how sorry he is

1000. for everything that you've been through.

1001. Is that it?

1002. Uh, well, Charles and I are also very sorry

1003. for-for everything that you've experienced.

1004. Yes.

1005. Indeed.

1006. Thank you.

1007. Fellas.

1008. An acquittal is virtually assured

1009. on both of the two counts...

1010. So there's no confusion, acquittal for the president

1011. on both of the charges now seemed assured.

1012. The first charge, perjury,

1013. seems destined not to get even a simple majority.

1014. Can't believe this.

1015. It's so fucking gross.

1016. Language.

1017. It doesn't make any sense.

1018. It was always gonna end this way.

1019. You said that he was gonna have to resign.

1020. Well, I got caught up in the dramatics

1021. - of the whole scenario. - Okay, so that's it, then?

1022. - The lesson here is that you should've just lied. - No.

1023. That's not the lesson.

1024. You know why

1025. I never told you about my father?

1026. Because I didn't want to let my child know how completely

1027. fantastic life tends to turn out for liars.

1028. Of course, as a kid, I didn't

1029. realize what he was.

1030. I worshipped him.

1031. He was an incredibly strict man.

1032. He was sort of a... avatar

1033. of moral certitude.

1034. And then one day, when I was a teenager,

1035. he announced he was...

1036. Walking out of our family.

1037. To be with a woman

1038. he met at the school.

1039. I mean, I begged him to stay.

1040. I knew it was pathetic.

1041. I offered him my room.

1042. He didn't care.

1043. He got in his car and drove away.

1044. But...

1045. that wasn't the worst of it. Because after he left,

1046. the truth came out.

1047. For years— my entire life—

1048. he'd been having affairs with women

1049. all over Morris County.

1050. And everyone had known.

1051. The kids at school, all the neighbors, everyone.

1052. It was so humiliating. And my mother...

1053. She barely survived that.

1054. Why didn't anyone tell her?

1055. Because they liked him.

1056. They liked him more than her or me.

1057. He was a cheater.

1058. He was a liar.

1059. And nobody held it against him.

1060. That's the truth.

1061. Men like that.

1062. Men like Bill Clinton— they ruin lives.

1063. And they get away with it.

1064. They just do.

1065. God.

1066. "Congratulations, you've been accepted

1067. into the White House internship program."

1068. - Oh, honey. - I'm fine.

1069. I honestly cannot stop thinking about that apology

1070. his lawyer said was from him.

1071. He's sorry for all that you've been through? I...

1072. That's something that you say to a coworker

1073. who's having a tough month,

1074. one that you're not even that close to.

1075. I would have done anything to protect him.

1076. I did.

1077. Because that's how much he meant to me.

1078. But him? Every single chance

1079. that he had to help me, he-he chose to do nothing.

1080. When I got that subpoena, he...

1081. he could have said, "Monica, don't lie.

1082. Don't break the law. Don't do that for me."

1083. And that-and that first week,

1084. when this all came out and everyone was saying

1085. that I was a stalker and that I was making it all up,

1086. he just...

1087. he just sat there a-and let them.

1088. He could have stopped this at any time.

1089. She is known as Jane Doe #5,

1090. but tonight, we can reveal her

1091. as 56-year-old Juanita Broaddrick.

1092. She met Bill Clinton in 1978.

1093. He invited her to drop by his campaign office

1094. in Little Rock.

1095. - Did you like him? Yes.

1096. I became a supporter.

1097. And he told me if I was ever in Little Rock

1098. to come down to the campaign office.

1099. So, next time I was there, I did,

1100. and we made a plan to meet for coffee

1101. and talk about state reimbursements

1102. to nursing homes.

1103. But Broaddrick says when Clinton arrived,

1104. Clinton asked to meet in her hotel room.

1105. Did you have any qualms about that?

1106. I was a little uneasy.

1107. But I didn't feel any...

1108. any sense of danger.

1109. But then

1110. we were talking in my room,

1111. and all of a sudden,

1112. he sort of turned me around

1113. and started kissing me.

1114. That was a real shock.

1115. What did you do?

1116. I-I pushed him away at first.

1117. I just told him, "Please don't do that."

1118. And he said,

1119. "Well, did you not know why I was coming up here?"

1120. And then what happened?

1121. Then he tries to kiss me again.

1122. And the second time he tries to kiss me,

1123. he starts... biting.

1124. On my lip.

1125. I... Just...

1126. I try to pull away from him,

1127. and then he forces me down on the bed.

1128. And I just was...

1129. very frightened.

1130. And I tried to pull away from him.

1131. I tried to get away,

1132. and I told him no.

1133. That this was not something that I wanted to happen,

1134. and he just didn't listen to me.

1135. Did you resist?

1136. Did you tell him to stop?

1137. Yes, I told him, "Please, don't."

1138. But he... was just a different person.

1139. He was just a...

1140. vicious, awful person.

1141. Then everything was over with,

1142. and he got up and straightened himself,

1143. and I was crying and...

1144. He walks to the door

1145. and just calmly puts on his sunglasses.

1146. Before he goes out, he says,

1147. "Better get some ice on that."

1148. So, you're saying that Bill Clinton

1149. sexually assaulted you?

1150. - That he raped you? - Yes.

1151. Ugh, God, another Clinton woman.

1152. Aren't the Grammys on?

1153. Oh, great.

1154. We missed it.

1155. What are you and Val doing this weekend?

1156. Santana and Rob Thomas are coming

1157. to the Merriweather Post Pavilion.

1158. Nice.

1159. Ms. Tripp.

1160. I'm awake.

1161. I'm awake. It didn't work.

1162. Oh, no, it's over. All done.

1163. You're in recovery.

1164. We'll move you to your own room soon.

1165. I'll be going with you.

1166. I'm Tina. I'm your private nurse.

1167. What?

1168. We can't afford that.

1169. Well, I think it's all paid for. Remember?

1170. Oh, yeah.

1171. Lucianne.

1172. Who's that?

1173. My literary agent.

1174. Her friends.

1175. They wanted to help me look better.

1176. That's so nice.

1177. Can I have my cigarettes?

1178. Sorry.

1179. - Hi. You all moved in?

1180. No. You're such a freak.

1181. It's been two days. I kind of like

1182. to take my time. Find a place for everything.

1183. You know your book is everywhere, right?

1184. I know. It's so weird.

1185. - I have a signing later today. - Are you nervous?

1186. I just want it all to be over with.

1187. - And how are you doing? - Fine.

1188. I mean, really.

1189. Cat, I'm fine. Honestly.

1190. It's nice here. Sometimes people leave me alone.

1191. Oh, Cat, I have to go. I have to start getting ready

1192. to go out and be Monica.

1193. Well, give other Monica my bes.

1194. I will. Love you.

1195. - Hi. You joining us for lunch? - I'm meeting someone.

1196. Oh, thank you.

1197. Uh, the reservation should be under Collins.

1198. He works for George.

1199. - George magazine. - Yes, he's here.

1200. Follow me.

1201. - This way. - Thank you.

1202. Hello.

1203. Oh, hi.

1204. God, uh, I hope it's okay to say I didn't recognize you.

1205. Thank you. I hope you can write that.

1206. - That I look different.

1207. - I'm a fan of your magazine. - Oh, thanks.

1208. Did you ever get to meet JFK Jr.?

1209. Yeah, of course. He was my boss.

1210. Oh, I nearly met him once.

1211. I used to, uh, be director

1212. of this extremely visible program

1213. under, uh, the secretary of defense.

1214. We organized tours.

1215. Back in '97, he almost attended one.

1216. Oh.

1217. What happened to him was so sad.

1218. - It's very tragic. - Yeah.

1219. It was.

1220. It was devastating.

1221. It okay if I, uh...?

1222. Oh. Well,

1223. if anyone would have to agree to that, it's me.

1224. Right.

1225. So,

1226. you're finally talking to press.

1227. Why?

1228. I made a horrendous mistake.

1229. For a long time, I didn't think it appropriate

1230. to come forward,

1231. but, uh, that allowed other forces

1232. to, um, shape the conventional wisdom

1233. as it relates to Linda Tripp.

1234. You feel like there's been a smear campaign against you?

1235. Of course, but that's not all of it.

1236. Clearly, I generate, uh, a visceral response in people.

1237. You think that would change with a new look?

1238. I hope so.

1239. I mean, when the story broke and I saw pictures of myself,

1240. I wanted to sink into the earth.

1241. Until all this happened, I didn't know how ugly I was.

1242. Go for an hour. Nothing more, nothing less.

1243. We've told them you'll only sign copies of the book,

1244. nothing else, and they can only ask nice questions.

1245. - Nice questions? You'll do awesome.

1246. They're here because they want to see you.

1247. Have you read Monica's book?

1248. - Parts of it. - I was surprised

1249. by how upsetting it is.

1250. She's been in a lot of pain.

1251. And she wrote she couldn't believe the cruelty

1252. of someone who would tape that pain.

1253. I wonder how you feel about that.

1254. Well, uh, I don't know what to say to that.

1255. It's bigger than I thought.

1256. I know. It's an amazing turnout.

1257. When was the last time

1258. - you spoke to Monica? - Thank you.

1259. Uh, at the mall.

1260. That day.

1261. Do you remember what you said?

1262. I told her they'd done the same thing to me.

1263. Was that true?

1264. No.

1265. No, it was a lie.

1266. But...

1267. I didn't... I didn't know what to say

1268. in that moment.

1269. What would you say to her now? If you saw her?

1270. Would you ever try to reach out to her?

1271. Oh, I don't, uh, I don't think that would be welcome.

1272. Monica! Monica! Over here!

1273. - Monica! Monica!

1274. Monica, you look so gorgeous.

1275. Monica! Monica?

1276. We love you, Monica!

1277. We love you! We love you!

1278. Oh, my God, Monica.

1279. Hi, Monica.

1280. - Monica! Monica! - Thank you.

1281. Monica!

1282. I'm just trying to talk to Monica.

1283. Monica! Monica!

1284. I love your lipstick.

1285. Hey, do you still love Bill?

1286. No questions!

1287. She can answer a question if she wants!

1288. Come on.

1289. Monica, I'm your biggest fan.

1290. - I need a moment.

1291. I know in a million years,

1292. she'll probably never understand.

1293. What do you want her to understand?

1294. I know it looks horrible.

1295. I know it looks like a betrayal.

1296. But she was his victim.

1297. He caused all this.

1298. He did.

1299. I just wish she could see that I saved her.

1300. Monica, are you okay?

1301. Just need a minute.

1302. I'll be okay.
