Dana? Dana, can you hear me? | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
Just follow the instructions. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
No! No "N"! | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |

Guys, there's nothing I can do. The meeting's going to be cancelled. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
Top four floors are closed off. Don't know what's going on. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
It doesn't matter. Nobody's supposed to be there. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
Just follow the instructions. Is that so hard? Clifford... | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
It's 2.30, and my interns are stranded. Where is he? | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
-He's coming. -He's coming? -He's coming. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
OK. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
-I think we got something. -Oh, my God. Is that him? | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
-Do you see it? -That's him! -Oh, my God! | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
-He's here! He's here! -Clear the roof! | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
-Get your things! -Go! Come on! -All right, all right! | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
He keeps his promises. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
Fake. Fake. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
-Yes. -Malika, Clifford is the man who wrote Fake, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
excellent book about the...guy... artist...I'm blanking... | 0:02:52 | 0:02:57 | |
-(ALL) The art forger. -Exactly. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
Elmyr de Hory was his name. He forged Picassos, Matisses... | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
-Modiglianis... -The whole theory of, er... | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
-..in museums. -..forgery as art, what is art... | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
-Very subversive kind of act. -The book sold poorly. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
-It could've done better... -Let's not talk about that. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
The new one! Fiction. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
-Yes. -Rudnick's Problem. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
I like it. You were right. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
-Malika liked it, too. -I did. It was stunning. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
It scared the hell out of me. It's an angry book. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
But funny! I read it. I think it was hilarious. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
It wasn't angry to me. It was nice. It made me laugh. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
-But anger's important. We need it. -Which will help us in Germany. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:46 | |
Regardless. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:47 | |
-Marry us and have our children. -(ALL LAUGH) | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
Brad Silber at Life is reading it right now for serialisation rights. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:55 | |
-Harold McGraw himself is reading it this weekend. -You're kidding me! | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
-It's just a formality. -You have waited, Cliff. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
You've watched, as less talented writers have bypassed you. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
Justice at last! | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
They're going to push this one hard. They're going to bet the bank. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
-Is that a promise? -You can set your watch by it. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
-I don't have a watch. -Well, buy one. Trust me. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
'You can afford it.' | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
Calls unreturned... They don't read you for six months... | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
They're indifferent! And overnight... | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
-Dick, can you hear me? Dick! -Hmm? | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
-Here, try these. They're bigger. -(MUFFLED) They're fine. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
We're doing a vacation, a gentlemen's celebration thing. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
You got harpoons? The ones that shoot? | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
-Yeah, most of them shoot. -Good. He looks like a sausage. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
I'll take the whole outfit. Set me up an account. Monthly payments... | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
You are a brick, Robert! You played me like a harp. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
Whitewalls, leather... Is this guy a salesman? | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
When my accountant comes by with the cheque, should he talk to you? | 0:05:00 | 0:05:05 | |
He should speak to me, yeah. The cheque. Y-Yeah. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
Call the police! There's a beautiful woman in front of my house! | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
(SCREAMS) | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-I love you! -(BOTH LAUGH) | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
-What's the matter? You haven't seen a best-selling author before? -Oh! | 0:05:22 | 0:05:27 | |
Yes! You didn't think I was going to do it, did you? | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
Stop, please. Look! They are taking the sofa. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
-Oh, I loved that sofa. -Hey, guys. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
How you doing? Ah, fuck the sofa. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
-Close your eyes. -What? -Close them. Close them. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
OK. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
-Oh, Cliff! Cliff! -(BOTH LAUGH) | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
Perfect. You're a beautiful man. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
-I am sure you would desert me. -No. "Will" desert you. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
-The tense is future active. -Don't correct the grammar. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
You are not this perfect person. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
Honey, it's finished. I told you, it's finished. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
It's finished, Pear. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
-Good night. -Cliff? | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
-Keys. -Yeah. -To my new car. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |

Andrea? Andrea! Hi! Isn't this amazing? Isn't this wild? | 0:06:26 | 0:06:31 | |
-Can I talk to you? -Let's talk on Monday. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
It's important. Look, 30,000 copies is not going to do it. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
A short run like that sends out a message, and it's not a good one. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
-We're not publishing the book. -Exactly. With 30,000 copies, | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
it's like we're not really publishing... | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
Brad Silber hated it. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
He called it "a third-rate Philip Roth knock-off". | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
He told Harold, and it was awful. It just rolled like a snowball. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
I wanted to tell you on Monday. I'm sorry. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
-Fine. We'll do The New Yorker. -You're not listening. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
McGraw Hill is not publishing your book. Book gone. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
The bomb has dropped. It's... It's over. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
But you said that this was a formality. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
Well, apparently I was mistaken. Look, if you have other ideas, | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
my door is always open to you. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |

You know what I'm getting for dinner? Swordfish steak. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
Sounds good! Sounds enticing. Oh, come on, Cliff. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
-Forget it. Forget it. -(SIGHS) | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
All right, enough. Enough. I want to talk about my friend. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
-Tell me about your children's book. -Oh, Richard The Lionheart? | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
-It's going OK. I should be done by the end of the year. -Good. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
It's a great subject. War, sodomy... The war part's great. Kids love war. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |
But what do you do with the sodomy? I want to be historically accurate... | 0:08:50 | 0:08:55 | |
And you'll make it so, because you are a superb researcher. | 0:08:55 | 0:09:00 | |
And a fine writer. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
Thank you. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |

Think about this. Henry Miller was 38 years old, unpublished. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:25 | |
His wife left him for a lesbian. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
You're kind to tell me that, Dick. You're a very good man. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:32 | |
-You're a good friend. Need a loan? -Always. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
-No, no. I was kidding. Cliff... -You got a pen? -I was kidding. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |

Everyone will be relocated to another hotel. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
Excuse me. Can you... | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
Someone told me that Howard Hughes is moving into this hotel. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
What is this? What's going on? | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
It's an executive decision to close the facility for the weekend, sir. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:23 | |
-You are being relocated. -Executive decision? | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
Howard Hughes wants to the pool to himself, so he's kicking us out? | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |

Mr Clifford? Andrea's running late. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
She said we should go ahead and start the meeting without her. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
"Mr Clifford"? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
Wait a minute. Er... | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
A meeting with you? | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
Mm-hm. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |

Oh, no... Er, excuse me! | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
Mr Clifford! | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
-(KNOCKS) Excuse me. Hello. I'm sorry, everybody. -I did tell him. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
Cliff, I'm in the middle of a conference meeting. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
Andrea, our personal history demands that I bring this to you first. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
Bring what? | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
I'm working on the most important book of the 20th century. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
It's unprecedented. I'm going to discuss it tomorrow. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
I'm going to present the details tomorrow... | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
-OK. -..morning, 9am. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
-Thank you. -At Nathan's Bowling Alley in Queens. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:17 | |
-Did I ever take you there before? -Sir... | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
OK, I'm going. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
You'd better be sure that I don't have anything. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
Cos Simon & Schuster's coming. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
"Of the century"? Couldn't you have just said "of the decade"? | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
-All right, all right. -And why a bowling alley? | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
Make a contribution here. First thing that comes to your mind. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
-Potato famine. -Too Irish. -A history of agriculture. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
-That's a best-seller(!) -Shedding new light on World War I. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
-What's the new light? -Write about Picasso. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
-Everyone loves Picasso. -I don't. -Charlemagne. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
-Too French. -History of the Vatican. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
-Oh, I'm dying. -Well, gimme a clue here. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
I'm being self-destructive. I've got to call Barbara. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
I'm burning bridges, Edith. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
They never appreciated you there. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
-I need lunch. -I'm having a breakdown. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
My gallery show is in three weeks. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |

Size seven. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
-How? -No-one knows where he is. I show up. I've seen him! | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
I've seen the Snowman. I send him my de Hory book. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
He reads it. It's a positive portrayal of a very complex man. | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
Oh, my God, I get a response! Correspondence, sparks fly. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
We become best of friends. What do you think? | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
-What is it? What's the book? -Wait. Wait. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
Where's Simon & Schuster, Tolstoy? | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
This is the key to it. A strong, continuous line. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |

'All these articles say the same thing.' | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
Hughes runs a billion-dollar network of companies, | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
but he only communicates by handwritten memos. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
There's no direct contact. That's why it's going to work. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
Tell me my dick grew five inches last night. I'll still use a ruler. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
No, I had an address from a friend of a friend, so I sent... | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
Howard Hughes?! Howard Hughes, the billionaire? | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
His exclusive, authorised autobiography. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
He wants Cliff to write it with him, and they want us to publish it. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:35 | |
Handwriting analysis? Can we bring it over right now? | 0:15:35 | 0:15:39 | |
"It would not suit me to die without having stated the truth | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
-"about my life." -My life. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
"I therefore authorise Clifford Irving | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
"to act as intermediary as to any arrangements | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
"regarding the publishing of my memoir." | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
"It would not suit me to die | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
"without having certain misconceptions cleared up | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
"and without having stated the truth about my life." | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
So... | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
-taking you at your word... -Yeah. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
..how does Mr Hughes propose we proceed? | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
I, er... | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
(LAUGHS) This is all very strange. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
I'm just getting the lay of the land here myself. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
But what...what I can gather so far | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
is that he refuses to go outdoors. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
He will only initiate, never accept, phone calls. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
(PHONE RINGS) Those two rumours seem to be true. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
But he did say he would provide handwritten contracts | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
for legal purposes, and, er, whatever questions you... | 0:16:43 | 0:16:47 | |
If you give them to me, I'll pass them on when he makes contact. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
Beyond that, I don't know what to say. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
(SIGHS THOUGHTFULLY) Why you, Cliff? | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
He could have any writer in the world do this for him. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
I have absolutely no idea. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
This is the strangest thing that has ever happened to me. Best guess? | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
He likes me. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
So, matching against the reprinted letters from Newsweek Magazine, | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
Osborn Associates' preliminary opinion | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
is that the handwriting samples are genuine. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
-OK. Well. -Excuse me one second. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
Sure. Yeah. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |

Did you and...Howard discuss how much you both wanted? | 0:17:39 | 0:17:44 | |
Because we would like to make you an offer...today. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
We did, Andrea. We did. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
We... We...we did discuss that. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
-Can I weigh in here? -No. A man walks in. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
He says something completely implausible. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
For that exact reason, he's believed. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
It's an Aquarian phenomenon. Very, very spiritual. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
Lawyers are not spiritual! Presumably this is going to make news. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
Howard Hughes hasn't spoken to the press in 15 years. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
What are you so nervous about? You can't think. No thinking. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
Once this gets out, this guy could sue our asses off. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
Three words. "TWA shareholder lawsuit." | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
Howard has a judgement of 137 million bucks waiting to hit him | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
if he walks into any courtroom, so the book comes out, | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
-it doesn't matter. He can't sue. -He can still say it's a fake. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
He doesn't say anything about anything. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
He uses ripped-up Kleenex boxes for slippers. He drinks his own piss. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
-He's psychotic. -Have you heard of Intertel? | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
He has his own private CIA. Ruthless advisors! | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
His advisors don't know about the book | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
because he's too paranoid to tell 'em. He'll never come out of hiding | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
long enough to denounce me because... he's a lunatic hermit. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:13 | |
And I am the spokesperson for the lunatic hermit, | 0:19:13 | 0:19:17 | |
so the more outrageous I sound, the more convincing I am. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
Can you believe this? The perfection! | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
-(They offered half a million.) -(Half a million dollars?) | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
-400 grand for Howard, and 100 grand for us. -Oh. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
-I thought you meant half a million for us. -It's all for us! | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
There is no Howard Hughes! Dick, are you paying attention to me? | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
-Yeah! -The problem is this. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
It's an oral agreement. The lawyers are going to jump all over this. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
So we have to leave right now, to become experts on this man's life! | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
-Here. -And if we find dirt, and it rings true, | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
the top guys will shove this deal right down the lawyers' throats. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
Cliff... | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |

I'm not going to do anything to jeopardise what we've rebuilt. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
-OK? -You just said to warn you when you get excited. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:10 | |
-You seem excited. -(CHUCKLES) Well... | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |

Barbara's often remarked on it. But to take down the Library of Congress... | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
-God, the adrenaline! -You took a nice picture of your leg. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
-Or is that your ankle? -Where? -Right there. Right there. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
-It's my ankle. -Oh. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
-It's all out of focus anyway. -Jesus! -Want another drink? | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |

Harold, this book will sell more copies than the Bible. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |

they will do anything they can to destroy it. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
I say we sign this contract immediately, | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |

Within reason. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
From now on, we refer to Hughes... as Octavio. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
The book is called Project Octavio. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:34 | |

(LAUGHS) Well, to be honest with you, sergeant, no, we don't. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:13 | |
Mr Hughes doesn't like to share information. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
-That's very frustrating for us. -You want frustration? | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |

Ralph, what happened was this. I got a phone call, | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
really out of the blue, from a man named George Gordon Holmes, | 0:34:09 | 0:34:14 | |

He says he wants us to fly down to Mexico City, wait for a call. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:21 | |
So we go ahead and do this. We fly down there, | 0:34:21 | 0:34:23 | |

sand-crabs in the bathtub. I say, "The hell with him,"... | 0:34:29 | 0:34:32 | |
when we spot an envelope, shoved under the door. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:36 | |
'.."he usually booked into a remote hotel"...' | 0:34:36 | 0:34:40 | |
It says, "There's a pilot waiting to take you to Juchitan." | 0:34:40 | 0:34:45 | |
'So at 6:00am, we're flying low over the mountains.' | 0:34:47 | 0:34:51 | |
'And I'm nervous, but he's got touch, this bush pilot.' | 0:34:51 | 0:34:54 | |
He brings it right down onto a grey pebble landing strip. | 0:34:54 | 0:34:58 | |
Out of the corner of my eye I see a jeep coming down from the mountains. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:03 | |
'Mexican military?' | 0:35:03 | 0:35:05 | |
'No.' | 0:35:05 | 0:35:07 | |
'It's Holmes.' | 0:35:07 | 0:35:09 | |
-Mr Irving? -Yes, that's right. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:11 | |
-Mr Holmes? -Who is this? -Dick Suskind, sir. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:15 | |
He's a little surprised to see Dick, but I explained | 0:35:15 | 0:35:18 | |
that Dick was my researcher, and I couldn't do without him. | 0:35:18 | 0:35:21 | |
We get in the jeep, and he takes us on this endless ride | 0:35:21 | 0:35:25 | |
up through the mountains. We circled round the top of this hill, | 0:35:25 | 0:35:29 | |
and we got to this hotel, which was called, er... | 0:35:29 | 0:35:32 | |
Salina Cruz. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:34 | |
'Holmes motions for us to follow.' | 0:35:36 | 0:35:39 | |
'It's quiet.' | 0:35:41 | 0:35:43 | |
'Ssh. Ssh.' | 0:35:43 | 0:35:46 | |
'And there's a room, way in the back, like a hut.' | 0:35:47 | 0:35:51 | |
'Doesn't even have a view of the ocean.' | 0:35:51 | 0:35:54 | |
'We can barely see.' | 0:35:58 | 0:36:00 | |
'And there's a little slip of a man on a bed, | 0:36:00 | 0:36:05 | |
..sitting like a monk.' | 0:36:06 | 0:36:08 | |
'Howard Hughes!' | 0:36:11 | 0:36:13 | |
Howard Hughes. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:19 | |
Howard Hughes is sitting right there. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
(CHUCKLES) My heart... | 0:36:23 | 0:36:25 | |
It just went... | 0:36:25 | 0:36:27 | |
And then he was reaching out through the mosquito netting... | 0:36:28 | 0:36:33 | |
..and he offered Dick a... | 0:36:34 | 0:36:37 | |
A prune. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:39 | |
A prune. | 0:36:39 | 0:36:42 | |
'Dick takes the prune... | 0:36:42 | 0:36:44 | |
..eats the prune...' | 0:36:55 | 0:36:57 | |
'Not bad!' | 0:36:57 | 0:37:00 | |
'(LAUGHTER)' | 0:37:00 | 0:37:01 | |
He started talking about the value of Mexican soil, organic farming, | 0:37:01 | 0:37:06 | |
organic food... The two of them started jabbering like old friends. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:09 | |
We talked a little bit about business, and Dick and I went home. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:14 | |
-I'm a little hungry. -Let's eat. -(LAUGHS) | 0:37:15 | 0:37:19 | |
Ralph, pick something fabulous. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:21 | |
I think... the Latour, please. '61. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:24 | |
-(ALL MUTTER APPROVINGLY) -Oh, yes. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:27 | |
-And some beluga, shall we, gentlemen? -Sounds good. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:31 | |
You know, Howard Hughes doesn't like caviar. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:34 | |
-Really? -Really. In fact, he made a special point of saying so. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:38 | |
I remember that. I... It was such a non sequitur. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:41 | |
It was just after Clifford finished talking about the, er... | 0:37:41 | 0:37:47 | |
The crash. You know, in Beverly Hills. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:49 | |
His plane hit the top of that house. He parked it on top of the house. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:53 | |
-He hurt his back, but he walked away. -And he said, er, | 0:37:53 | 0:37:56 | |
people in Beverly Hills eat caviar. He doesn't like it. | 0:37:56 | 0:37:59 | |
And then he crashed his plane. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:02 | |
OK. Then, let's make it two beluga appetisers, please. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:07 | |
Three, maybe. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:09 | |
-Er, three. Yeah. Make it three. -Andrea? Yeah? Good. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:14 | |
Did you get any sense of his business acumen? | 0:38:16 | 0:38:19 | |
-Go ahead. -Well, it's interesting. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:22 | |
It's very interesting. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:25 | |
He said that people often think of business as business, | 0:38:25 | 0:38:29 | |
which, of course, it is, but in business there is also pleasure. | 0:38:29 | 0:38:32 | |
Pleasure can be a business. Business has pleasure. It's both | 0:38:32 | 0:38:37 | |
at the same time. I didn't really understand it, | 0:38:37 | 0:38:40 | |
but after a while it sunk in, and I realised... | 0:38:40 | 0:38:42 | |
that's his genius! | 0:38:42 | 0:38:45 | |
This is your cheque for writing services. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:57 | |
The second cheque, for Mr Hughes... or Octavio, sorry... | 0:38:57 | 0:39:01 | |
is going to take a little longer to process. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:04 | |
I understand you're authorised to receive Mr Hughes' payment. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:07 | |
Yeah, I am. Don't take too long, all right? | 0:39:07 | 0:39:10 | |
Life magazine is prepared to offer 250,000 | 0:39:10 | 0:39:13 | |
for worldwide exclusive rights to serialise the Howard Hughes story. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:17 | |
That's a record, Harold. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:23 | |
I'm wondering if it's enough of a record, Ralph. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:28 | |
-Oh, jeez. -The money makes this real! | 0:39:31 | 0:39:34 | |
-You can still back out, but you got to tell me now. -Back out?! | 0:39:34 | 0:39:37 | |
-Yeah. -No! We're the goddamn musketeers! | 0:39:37 | 0:39:40 | |
Good. Don't spend any money, though! Better we keep it in case we need it. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:45 | |
Absolutely. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:46 | |
"The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the TWA shareholders' case | 0:39:46 | 0:39:50 | |
"against reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes. | 0:39:50 | 0:39:53 | |
"A loss could cost Hughes 137 million, | 0:39:53 | 0:39:56 | |

"The Nixon justice department has..." | 0:39:58 | 0:40:01 | |
We go for texture, gritty details. We need blood, money... | 0:40:01 | 0:40:05 | |
juice, Shakespearean, big stuff. You want to critique a sitting president | 0:40:05 | 0:40:09 | |
who's also a war criminal? You can. You can impact culture with this. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:13 | |
I want to make some money and not get caught. It has to be plausible. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:17 | |
Dick, I handed them three yellow letters. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:19 | |
They gave me 500 grand. Is that plausible? | 0:40:19 | 0:40:22 | |
I don't think so. (LAUGHS) | 0:40:22 | 0:40:25 | |
You want to get a drink? I'm going to change my shirt. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:30 | |
I'll be right out. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:32 | |
-I'm heading home. -I got it. I'm sitting for a while. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:36 | |
See ya, Tom. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:38 | |
-Tommy, can I use your phone? -Sure. Go right ahead. | 0:40:57 | 0:41:01 | |
I saw Elmyr a few months ago in Ibiza. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:07 | |
-So, how is our old friend Elmyr? -I was having dinner with friends, | 0:41:07 | 0:41:11 | |
and he was at the bar, sitting all alone, drinking. | 0:41:11 | 0:41:14 | |
He came up to me and said, "I always found your affair with Clifford | 0:41:14 | 0:41:18 | |
"to be common and immoral." And he stormed out. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:22 | |
-(BOTH LAUGH) -You're lying. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:24 | |
-Elmyr didn't say that. -Oh, I'm the liar?! | 0:41:24 | 0:41:27 | |
Who's writing a fake book about the most famous man in the world? | 0:41:27 | 0:41:32 | |
-Got to get back. -(GASPS) No! | 0:41:34 | 0:41:37 | |
No. The clock is broken. You stay. | 0:41:37 | 0:41:40 | |
OK, just to confirm... you're still rich | 0:41:42 | 0:41:44 | |
-and you're still not going to leave him. -Oh, I want to, Cliff. I want to. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:49 | |
But, no, I'm not going to. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:53 | |
I'm shallow, Cliff. | 0:41:57 | 0:41:59 | |
My greatest desire is to be an American movie star. | 0:42:00 | 0:42:04 | |
-How shallow is that? -It's pretty shallow. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:07 | |
Why does it bother you so much that I'm your mistress? | 0:42:08 | 0:42:12 | |
-Brecht, Hemingway, they all had mistresses. -The lying... | 0:42:12 | 0:42:16 | |
-gives me a headache. -Oh, I forgot. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:18 | |
You're a devoted husband. I think I forgot while you were screwing me. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:23 | |
Oh, sorry! | 0:42:26 | 0:42:28 | |
Sorry. I know I shouldn't have called you. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:32 | |
I'm not going to go through this again. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:34 | |
I can't do it to her. I can't. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:38 | |
I'll see you next time? | 0:42:40 | 0:42:42 | |
-(GROANS) -"Oh, Dick, Nina..." | 0:42:46 | 0:42:48 | |
"There's no future with her. She weakens me." | 0:42:48 | 0:42:52 | |
-Thank you so much. -"Edith is stability. She's my rock." | 0:42:52 | 0:42:55 | |
-Gimme a break, will you, please? -Did you tell Nina about the book? | 0:42:55 | 0:43:00 | |
Are you out of your fuckin' mind? | 0:43:00 | 0:43:03 | |
I got the "I'm an asshole" part down pretty good. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:06 | |
It's the "what do I do" part I need help with. Be my friend! | 0:43:06 | 0:43:09 | |
-Are you my friend? -Yeah, I'm your friend. | 0:43:09 | 0:43:12 | |
I don't know what I want to do if asks me where I went. | 0:43:12 | 0:43:16 | |
Come clean. | 0:43:16 | 0:43:18 | |
She'll leave me. For good. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:21 | |
It's the best I got. What else can I tell you? | 0:43:21 | 0:43:24 | |
You want to hear this? | 0:43:24 | 0:43:27 | |
-Yeah. -This is the Senate hearings, 1947. | 0:43:28 | 0:43:31 | |
'I'm not even sure if that's a correct statement, | 0:43:31 | 0:43:35 | |
'but the fact remains that if I made 15 million, | 0:43:35 | 0:43:39 | |
'I made it selling oil-well tools and beer, | 0:43:39 | 0:43:42 | |
'beer, to people down in Texas...' | 0:43:42 | 0:43:45 | |

-Furthermore... -Senator... | 0:44:00 | 0:44:02 | |
-'..a little money somewhere...' -(LAUGHS) | 0:44:02 | 0:44:05 | |

-in my pocket! -(LAUGHS) | 0:44:08 | 0:44:11 | |
'Mr Hughes, where would you like to begin?' | 0:44:11 | 0:44:14 | |
Family, friends, father... Yeah. Father. Father. | 0:44:16 | 0:44:20 | |
(IMITATING HUGHES) Er... | 0:44:22 | 0:44:24 | |
..people called my father... Big Howard. | 0:44:25 | 0:44:29 | |
Big Howard... Big Howard made his money... | 0:44:31 | 0:44:34 | |
leasing drilling bits in the oil business. | 0:44:34 | 0:44:38 | |
He said to me... He said, "Sonny"... | 0:44:40 | 0:44:42 | |
"Sonny, these drill bits are your bread and butter!" | 0:44:44 | 0:44:47 | |
"Don't ever let 'em go!" | 0:44:47 | 0:44:50 | |
Big Howard died when I was, er... | 0:44:52 | 0:44:55 | |
when I was 18. | 0:44:55 | 0:44:57 | |
His bunch of Texas roughneck friends tried to sell his company. | 0:44:59 | 0:45:05 | |
Pushed me out of the picture. I don't like being pushed! | 0:45:07 | 0:45:10 | |
Now, when two parties negotiate, | 0:45:11 | 0:45:15 | |
you got a lion and a donkey. | 0:45:15 | 0:45:18 | |
One party, through bluster or leverage, | 0:45:21 | 0:45:25 | |
claims control of the situation right away. That's the lion. | 0:45:25 | 0:45:29 | |
At 18, I sued these men trying to sell my father's company. | 0:45:31 | 0:45:36 | |
I sued them, I attacked them, I blackmailed them. | 0:45:36 | 0:45:39 | |
I pushed every which way I could! | 0:45:39 | 0:45:42 | |
I learned to be a lion. | 0:45:44 | 0:45:46 | |
Jesus, Cliff. | 0:45:59 | 0:46:01 | |
-Read the women's rags lately? -Hey. | 0:46:10 | 0:46:13 | |
Excerpts from Howard Hughes's autobiography | 0:46:13 | 0:46:16 | |
in the Ladies' Home Journal, from the book by Robert Eaton! | 0:46:16 | 0:46:20 | |
Life's lawyers are gnawing the flesh from my bones. | 0:46:22 | 0:46:25 | |
-Tell me what the fuck is going on! -I don't know anything about this. | 0:46:25 | 0:46:29 | |
This Eaton supposedly has the same hand-written memos that you've got. | 0:46:29 | 0:46:33 | |
So either you're selling this twice, using Eaton as a pen name... | 0:46:33 | 0:46:37 | |
I won't dignify that with a response. | 0:46:37 | 0:46:40 | |
Or, more likely, your demigod lunatic friend is using two writers. | 0:46:40 | 0:46:45 | |
You get it? All the sharks at my company have is you. | 0:46:45 | 0:46:48 | |
Which means they will sue your skinny ass | 0:46:48 | 0:46:51 | |
for every cent of the advance, plus damages, | 0:46:51 | 0:46:54 | |
-for making false representations... -I made no false representations! | 0:46:54 | 0:46:58 | |
You said you could deliver! | 0:46:58 | 0:47:00 | |
-So she said that they would sue us both? -Yeah. | 0:47:00 | 0:47:03 | |
-Both? She mentioned me by name? -Yes! | 0:47:03 | 0:47:05 | |
-I can't believe the sonofabitch had the same idea. -I spent the money. | 0:47:05 | 0:47:09 | |
I told you we might have to give it back! Jeez, Dick! | 0:47:09 | 0:47:13 | |
It wasn't a huge percentage to begin with. Just pay the money, | 0:47:13 | 0:47:17 | |
tell them that Hughes has changed his mind, | 0:47:17 | 0:47:19 | |
-and I'll owe you the difference. -Can't. I'm down most of it myself. | 0:47:19 | 0:47:23 | |
Well, borrow it. This isn't a prank any more, Cliff. | 0:47:23 | 0:47:27 | |
If we go to the press with this, we'll have Howard Hughes chasing us. | 0:47:27 | 0:47:31 | |
And Intertel! They'll stab us with sodium pentothal! | 0:47:31 | 0:47:35 | |
They'll kill us, or - or - or tie us up or something. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:38 | |
Howard won't be coming after us. His advisors, maybe, but he won't. | 0:47:38 | 0:47:42 | |
-Oh, really? What, he tell you that over breakfast? -Yeah. | 0:47:42 | 0:47:46 | |
What if this other book's the real thing? Have you thought about that? | 0:47:46 | 0:47:50 | |
What would Howard do in a situation like this? | 0:47:50 | 0:47:53 | |
I dunno. Buy a fucking airline. | 0:47:53 | 0:47:55 | |
Diversion. End run. Surprise. | 0:47:57 | 0:48:01 | |

I assure you, that chain will not be connected to Life Magazine. | 0:49:35 | 0:49:39 | |

a slight impact on writers' careers, my friend, | 0:50:16 | 0:50:19 | |
and we... we are not afraid of civil litigation. | 0:50:19 | 0:50:23 | |
There's the tone. Right there, you got that? Watch it. | 0:50:23 | 0:50:26 | |
That it? | 0:50:36 | 0:50:38 | |
Shelton, while you're reading this, assuming Howard wrote what he told me | 0:50:38 | 0:50:43 | |
he was going to write, I will give a summary to the group. | 0:50:43 | 0:50:46 | |
Howard doesn't know who Eaton is. The book is a fake. | 0:50:46 | 0:50:50 | |
But that doesn't really matter now because he found out that McGraw-Hill | 0:50:50 | 0:50:54 | |
sold the serialisation rights to Life Magazine, without his authorisation, | 0:50:54 | 0:50:59 | |
he became... what's the word? Apoplectic. | 0:50:59 | 0:51:03 | |
You got a problem, Ralph. | 0:51:05 | 0:51:07 | |
Your magazine is owned by Henry Luce. | 0:51:07 | 0:51:10 | |
What's the matter with Henry Luce? | 0:51:10 | 0:51:13 | |
According to Howard? | 0:51:13 | 0:51:15 | |
Well, Luce is in bed with Trippe, | 0:51:15 | 0:51:17 | |
at Pan Am, he's a goddamn socialist and he's a lousy golfer. | 0:51:17 | 0:51:20 | |
It's just... It's a rant. | 0:51:20 | 0:51:23 | |
It's basically a three-page rant about what a bastard Luce is. | 0:51:23 | 0:51:27 | |
That's Howard's words, it's not mine. I don't have a problem with Luce. | 0:51:27 | 0:51:31 | |
The postmark is Nassau. | 0:51:31 | 0:51:33 | |
That is completely irrelevant. And we are talking about | 0:51:33 | 0:51:37 | |
a business agreement that will hold up in a court of law. | 0:51:37 | 0:51:42 | |
We... We had a business agreement. Not any more. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:46 | |
I pleaded with him... to reconsider, but I was unsuccessful, so... | 0:51:47 | 0:51:52 | |
..per Howard's instructions... | 0:51:54 | 0:51:57 | |
I am... | 0:51:57 | 0:51:59 | |
returning... | 0:51:59 | 0:52:01 | |
this 100,000 advance cheque to you. | 0:52:01 | 0:52:05 | |
You can chase it in court. Meanwhile, we'll look for another publisher. | 0:52:08 | 0:52:12 | |
Wait, no. Clifford, er, Mr Irving, | 0:52:12 | 0:52:15 | |
we have a contract with you, | 0:52:15 | 0:52:18 | |
which means that our company owns the property. | 0:52:18 | 0:52:21 | |
Wrong. Through all of my pleading, hours of it, believe me, | 0:52:21 | 0:52:26 | |
it could be yours, Shelton, it could. You could make a public announcement | 0:52:26 | 0:52:30 | |
within the week and he's all right with Ralph still being involved with this, | 0:52:30 | 0:52:34 | |
provided... you increase his advance to one million dollars. | 0:52:34 | 0:52:39 | |
And not a penny less. (ALL GASP) | 0:52:39 | 0:52:41 | |
-What?! -A million dollars? | 0:52:41 | 0:52:44 | |
-Yes. -(LAUGHS) A million dollars? -I think we should try | 0:52:44 | 0:52:49 | |
-to maintain an atmosphere of goodwill and trust here. -Trust?! | 0:52:49 | 0:52:52 | |
-Yeah. -The man's a Texan copperhead. Trust. | 0:52:52 | 0:52:55 | |
-Right. Thank you. -Where are you going? | 0:52:55 | 0:52:58 | |
Where are you going? Wait! Let me tell you something. The book's mine. | 0:52:58 | 0:53:03 | |
Signed and sealed. And I'm not paying any goddamn million dollars. | 0:53:03 | 0:53:07 | |
You understand that? You listen to me, Mr Clifford fucking Irving, | 0:53:07 | 0:53:10 | |
-you go and tell - -I'm not Clifford Irving. I'm Howard Hughes! | 0:53:10 | 0:53:14 | |
Howard's mouth, Howard's words! | 0:53:14 | 0:53:16 | |
One million dollars or we walk across the street to Doubleday, your choice. | 0:53:16 | 0:53:20 | |
Shelton, I just want to share this with you, one of Howard's | 0:53:27 | 0:53:31 | |
alternate ideas. He said, | 0:53:31 | 0:53:33 | |
"Why don't I just buy a controlling interest in McGraw-Hill?" | 0:53:33 | 0:53:36 | |
What was it he said? "I'll just keep the printing presses | 0:53:36 | 0:53:39 | |
and get rid of the idiots." That's an exact quote. | 0:53:39 | 0:53:42 | |
Bye. | 0:53:44 | 0:53:46 | |

-That's it. Thank you. -Sure. | 0:54:02 | 0:54:06 | |

Whoo. | 0:54:15 | 0:54:17 | |
-Why are the boys so glum? -In the midst of our brilliant scheme, | 0:54:17 | 0:54:21 | |
we forgot to figure out how to cash a cheque made out to Howard Hughes. | 0:54:21 | 0:54:25 | |
Open up a Swiss account, | 0:54:27 | 0:54:29 | |
-in his name, for yourself. -We were going to do that, | 0:54:29 | 0:54:32 | |
and then we found out that you need Social Security numbers | 0:54:32 | 0:54:36 | |
and it's traceable, even in Switzerland. | 0:54:36 | 0:54:38 | |
We've gone over everything. | 0:54:38 | 0:54:41 | |
What if a woman deposits the cheque? | 0:54:41 | 0:54:44 | |
No, the same person who opens the account has to be the same person | 0:54:44 | 0:54:47 | |
who cashes the cheque. Has to be a man. | 0:54:47 | 0:54:50 | |
Tell his publisher he changed his mind. | 0:54:51 | 0:54:55 | |
He wants the cheques written to his initials now. | 0:54:56 | 0:55:00 | |
H R Hughes. | 0:55:00 | 0:55:02 | |
Then... a fake passport, a fake name. | 0:55:02 | 0:55:05 | |
Harriet Rhonda Hughes. Helga Rhinoceros Hughes. | 0:55:05 | 0:55:10 | |
-(BOTH CHUCKLE) -And I can cash the cheque. | 0:55:10 | 0:55:14 | |
-No, you're not going to Switzerland. -Jesus, that's a great idea. | 0:55:14 | 0:55:17 | |
-That's going to work. -She's my wife. | 0:55:17 | 0:55:20 | |
I know. I've reminded you of that fact from time to time. | 0:55:20 | 0:55:24 | |
You know... | 0:55:24 | 0:55:27 | |
when he doesn't call, stuff like that. | 0:55:27 | 0:55:29 | |
-We've talked about it already. -No, I... -It's just about anonymity. | 0:55:32 | 0:55:36 | |
-That's all. Great. Which one's mine. -No, that's the old... | 0:55:36 | 0:55:40 | |
-Are you going to destroy this? OK. -There you go, OK? -Thanks. | 0:55:40 | 0:55:43 | |
It's going to take at least a week for the cheque to clear | 0:55:43 | 0:55:47 | |
so you're going to have plenty of time to enjoy Zurich. | 0:55:47 | 0:55:51 | |

for a book that he is going to sue me for publishing? | 0:56:13 | 0:56:17 | |
My back is broken. What did you order? | 0:56:17 | 0:56:21 | |
If you were concerned, maybe you could ask Howard | 0:56:22 | 0:56:25 | |
'to stop the more adamant denials.' | 0:56:25 | 0:56:28 | |
Yeah. | 0:56:28 | 0:56:30 | |

A month ago, you wanted more credit! | 0:56:52 | 0:56:56 | |
Hughes' people, they're all ex CIA, you know that? | 0:56:56 | 0:56:59 | |
They're all trained in martial arts. | 0:56:59 | 0:57:02 | |
Good! I hope they drop kick some sense into you. Shit! | 0:57:02 | 0:57:06 | |
-What is that? -It's over with her?! Over with her?! | 0:57:06 | 0:57:09 | |
I don't know what this is! Edith, Edith, she did this deliberately. | 0:57:09 | 0:57:13 | |
Maliciously, because I cut off communication with her. | 0:57:13 | 0:57:16 | |
-She wanted to separate us. -Did you see her? | 0:57:16 | 0:57:20 | |
-No, don't. -(CAR HORN TOOTS) -I don't want to know. | 0:57:20 | 0:57:23 | |

-Dick, we got it, we got it. -Got what? -You won't believe this. | 0:58:47 | 0:58:51 | |
OK, listen. Rebozo. | 0:58:51 | 0:58:54 | |
"Rebozo accepted 100,000 in cash | 0:58:54 | 0:58:56 | |
"to redecorate Nixon's home." | 0:58:56 | 0:58:59 | |
"The acceptance was understood to mean that a TWA appeal | 0:58:59 | 0:59:03 | |
"and the Air West matter would be of highest priority." | 0:59:03 | 0:59:07 | |
Also, 1956, Hughes gave Nixon's brother 205,000 | 0:59:07 | 0:59:10 | |
to secure Pentagon contracts. | 0:59:10 | 0:59:13 | |
This... This is money laundering, it's bribery! It's the end! | 0:59:13 | 0:59:17 | |
This is... We publish this... | 0:59:17 | 0:59:19 | |
..Nixon... Nixon, the President, | 0:59:20 | 0:59:24 | |
is impeached. Do you understand the power this gives us? | 0:59:24 | 0:59:28 | |
-Cliff, I'm not sure I want the power this gives us. -Well, I do. | 0:59:39 | 0:59:42 | |
You publish this, you will have a storm of shit rained down on you. | 0:59:42 | 0:59:47 | |
And there are people now, God knows who, | 0:59:47 | 0:59:50 | |
Nixon's political enemies, Hughes' advisors, | 0:59:50 | 0:59:54 | |
-they know where you live! -Yes. | 0:59:54 | 0:59:56 | |
-I say you forget you ever saw this. -Forget it? | 0:59:56 | 0:59:59 | |
This is like a Torah! Sent down from God! | 0:59:59 | 1:00:04 | |
Make us part of history! And you want to forget it? | 1:00:04 | 1:00:07 | |
Come here, let me show you something. Postmarked Nevada, Hughes' country. | 1:00:07 | 1:00:11 | |
-What are you saying? -He wants us to help him bust Nixon. | 1:00:11 | 1:00:15 | |
He's with us, Dick! Howard is with us! | 1:00:15 | 1:00:19 | |
How did you know the Dillon Read Hydraulic Systems were faulty? | 1:00:28 | 1:00:31 | |
(IMITATES HUGHES) You're not listening, Clifford, goddamn it! | 1:00:31 | 1:00:35 | |
I made sure they were faulty through a couple of well-placed bribes. | 1:00:35 | 1:00:38 | |
Why not go to Defence with the information and get the contract? | 1:00:38 | 1:00:42 | |
Well, I couldn't have handled the contracts then. | 1:00:42 | 1:00:46 | |
Instead of tattling on them, I... fixed their planes. | 1:00:46 | 1:00:49 | |
I... intertwined our technologies, | 1:00:50 | 1:00:53 | |
I ate that company from within. | 1:00:53 | 1:00:56 | |
And they let me, because they were hypnotised. | 1:00:56 | 1:00:59 | |
That's the way, Clifford. When your rival is powerful, | 1:00:59 | 1:01:03 | |
find an opportunity, create a crisis for him. | 1:01:03 | 1:01:06 | |
But instead of taking short-term advantage, | 1:01:06 | 1:01:09 | |
save the day for him. | 1:01:09 | 1:01:12 | |
Nothing confuses a man more | 1:01:12 | 1:01:15 | |
than a kind gesture from his enemy. | 1:01:15 | 1:01:18 | |
Nothing renders him... more vulnerable. | 1:01:18 | 1:01:22 | |
(PHONE RINGS) It's Edith. Turn it off, turn it off. | 1:01:23 | 1:01:27 | |
"I made sure they were faulty..." | 1:01:33 | 1:01:35 | |
It was Andrea! We got a problem. | 1:01:35 | 1:01:38 | |
Keep it down, guys, you're going to wake the neighbours(!) | 1:01:43 | 1:01:46 | |
Clifford, I don't believe you've met Frank McCullough. | 1:01:46 | 1:01:50 | |
-No, hi, Frank. -How are you? | 1:01:50 | 1:01:53 | |
-Dick Suskind. Dick? -Hello. | 1:01:53 | 1:01:56 | |
Er, I got a phone call yesterday, from Chester Davis, | 1:01:57 | 1:02:01 | |
-whose Hughes' personal attorney. -Yes, yes. | 1:02:01 | 1:02:04 | |
Er, apparently, at 1pm, our time, Howard Hughes is going to call, | 1:02:04 | 1:02:08 | |
to speak to an intermediary by telephone. | 1:02:08 | 1:02:11 | |
And, as the...last journalist to have spoken to Mr Hughes, | 1:02:11 | 1:02:15 | |
we mutually agreed that Mr McCullough should receive the call, | 1:02:15 | 1:02:20 | |
because of his ability to identify Mr Hughes by voice. | 1:02:20 | 1:02:23 | |
Mr McCullough has also assured us, at least for the moment, | 1:02:23 | 1:02:26 | |
that all of this will remain off the record. | 1:02:26 | 1:02:29 | |
Mr Davis also insisted that Ralph Graves be present at the time of the phone call, | 1:02:29 | 1:02:34 | |
which, I have to say, Cliff, that one surprised me. | 1:02:34 | 1:02:37 | |
Given Hughes' representations of Life | 1:02:37 | 1:02:41 | |
in your alleged communications with him. | 1:02:41 | 1:02:44 | |
Er, if you'll excuse me. | 1:02:45 | 1:02:48 | |
I have to go to the bathroom. | 1:02:48 | 1:02:51 | |
Shelton, this... (LAUGHS) What am I supposed to say? | 1:02:55 | 1:03:00 | |
This is an ambush! You know exactly what the guy's going to say. | 1:03:00 | 1:03:03 | |
That's why Mr McCullough's here, to identify the voice | 1:03:03 | 1:03:07 | |
-of the man in question. -I'm neutral here, Mr Irving. | 1:03:07 | 1:03:10 | |
So...now we wait. | 1:03:13 | 1:03:16 | |
(PHONE RINGS) | 1:03:27 | 1:03:29 | |
I can't watch this charade. | 1:03:32 | 1:03:34 | |
You'll find me in the lobby. | 1:03:34 | 1:03:37 | |
-Stay close, Clifford. -Hello? | 1:03:37 | 1:03:41 | |
-It says exit, there's no exit. -Shit! (ALARM SOUNDS) | 1:04:04 | 1:04:08 | |
-We can't get out. -Howard Hughes? My God! | 1:04:09 | 1:04:13 | |
All right, we have no reason to believe that that was him. | 1:04:13 | 1:04:16 | |
McCullough hasn't heard from him, hasn't spoken to him in 12 years! | 1:04:16 | 1:04:20 | |
-Breathe. -There's an angry billionaire, he's chasing me. | 1:04:20 | 1:04:23 | |
-Hating me. -Walk. We're going up here. | 1:04:23 | 1:04:27 | |
Keep going, come on. Come on. | 1:04:31 | 1:04:36 | |
Cliff, I can't. I gotta take a piss. | 1:04:36 | 1:04:39 | |
I'll confess, I'll do anything they want. Just let me use the bathroom. | 1:04:39 | 1:04:44 | |
OK, right here, right here. Hide in there. | 1:04:44 | 1:04:47 | |
Watch your head. Hide. | 1:04:47 | 1:04:49 | |
-You gotta piss your pants, go ahead. Just stay there. -All right. | 1:04:49 | 1:04:53 | |
I'll be back. | 1:04:53 | 1:04:55 | |
What happened? | 1:05:06 | 1:05:08 | |
We don't know yet. McCullough asked us to leave the room. | 1:05:08 | 1:05:11 | |
The man I just spoke to was Howard Hughes. His speech patterns | 1:05:17 | 1:05:21 | |
and inflections would be impossible to imitate. | 1:05:21 | 1:05:24 | |
And he told me that he's never met you. | 1:05:24 | 1:05:27 | |
And that your book is a fraud. | 1:05:27 | 1:05:29 | |
A hoax. | 1:05:30 | 1:05:33 | |
Mr Irving? | 1:05:33 | 1:05:36 | |
-I'm listening. -Now, knowing Howard, I don't find this to be conclusive, | 1:05:36 | 1:05:41 | |
at all. He is a very strange man. | 1:05:41 | 1:05:43 | |
Um... but, considering the scarcity of proof that you've provided, | 1:05:43 | 1:05:47 | |
my best guess, at this moment, | 1:05:47 | 1:05:50 | |
is that you are a charlatan. | 1:05:50 | 1:05:53 | |
If there is even a whiff of impropriety to this, | 1:05:53 | 1:05:56 | |
if you have exaggerated or changed even the slightest detail, | 1:05:56 | 1:06:00 | |
I will prosecute you to the full extent of the law for grand larceny | 1:06:00 | 1:06:03 | |
and mail fraud, unless you tell me just what the bald fuck is going on. | 1:06:03 | 1:06:08 | |
I have... (COUGHS) | 1:06:11 | 1:06:13 | |
'I have betrayed... your trust.' | 1:06:17 | 1:06:21 | |
'The book, the entire story is false.' | 1:06:22 | 1:06:25 | |
'I've... lied to the entire world.' | 1:06:28 | 1:06:31 | |
'And, no matter what happens now, | 1:06:31 | 1:06:34 | |
'I am so... | 1:06:34 | 1:06:36 | |
'relieved.' | 1:06:36 | 1:06:39 | |
I have... | 1:06:41 | 1:06:44 | |
off-the-record material on that two-faced prick | 1:06:44 | 1:06:48 | |
that puts him in fucking jail! I'm going to tell Howard, | 1:06:48 | 1:06:51 | |
either he shows his ant-bitten face... | 1:06:51 | 1:06:55 | |
or I release it! | 1:06:55 | 1:06:57 | |
I've had it! | 1:06:57 | 1:07:00 | |
You have three days to produce Howard Hughes and the manuscript! | 1:07:03 | 1:07:07 | |
Grand larceny, Cliff? Mail fraud. | 1:07:07 | 1:07:10 | |
Jesus, you know what? This is just too much, too much. | 1:07:10 | 1:07:14 | |
-I've got a move, there is a move here. -Move, move. Stop the car. | 1:07:14 | 1:07:17 | |
-I've gotta make a call. -What are you doing? -What am I doing? | 1:07:17 | 1:07:21 | |
I'm calling Barbara, that's what I'm doing. | 1:07:21 | 1:07:24 | |
Hi, it's me. | 1:07:27 | 1:07:29 | |
What? | 1:07:35 | 1:07:37 | |
It's over, Cliff, I can't go to jail. | 1:07:38 | 1:07:41 | |
And, with you or without you, I'm going to tell them tomorrow | 1:07:41 | 1:07:46 | |
that Howard Hughes called and he pulled out of the deal. | 1:07:46 | 1:07:49 | |
You can pay them back the money. I talked to Barbara, | 1:07:49 | 1:07:52 | |
-she had very strong feelings about this. -Sure she did. | 1:07:52 | 1:07:56 | |
You're an honourable man, Dick. | 1:07:58 | 1:08:00 | |
Aren't you? Are you an honourable man? | 1:08:01 | 1:08:05 | |
Did you make a commitment to me, Dick? | 1:08:05 | 1:08:08 | |
-Did you say you were in this till the end? -Yeah. -Yeah, yeah, yeah. | 1:08:08 | 1:08:11 | |
Reaching a worldwide audience, taking down a corrupt president, | 1:08:11 | 1:08:15 | |
that's the end! Not this! | 1:08:15 | 1:08:17 | |

You know, Clifford, I have worked in various capacities for Mr Hughes | 1:20:15 | 1:20:19 | |
for 19 years, and never once have I referred to him by his first name. | 1:20:19 | 1:20:24 | |

you didn't, and that it's not the topic of the evening. | 1:20:31 | 1:20:35 | |
-What is? -The world Mr Hughes has created is vast, Clifford. | 1:20:35 | 1:20:39 | |
It covers many industries and many endeavours. | 1:20:39 | 1:20:42 | |
There are...fiefdoms and factions, | 1:20:43 | 1:20:47 | |
traitors and minor rebellions. | 1:20:47 | 1:20:50 | |
You see, Clifford, the men Mr Hughes uses as his instruments in the world | 1:20:50 | 1:20:54 | |
are often themselves the makers of history. | 1:20:54 | 1:20:58 | |

-Shit. -He thinks they're sipping tea at the Watergate Hotel reading it. | 1:27:35 | 1:27:38 | |
I'll call Hans and have him send his guys in, see if the DNC has a copy. | 1:27:38 | 1:27:43 | |
And prepare something for the President if this breaks early. | 1:27:43 | 1:27:47 | |
-If he has to address the nation... -To say what? | 1:27:47 | 1:27:50 | |
That Checkers had puppies. How the fuck should I know? | 1:27:50 | 1:27:53 | |
I was on the plane and I was thinking, for a long... time. | 1:27:54 | 1:27:59 | |
I was thinking about all of your lies from before. | 1:27:59 | 1:28:03 | |
I guess, maybe, I am not | 1:28:03 | 1:28:05 | |
beautiful or...very sexual. | 1:28:05 | 1:28:08 | |
-No, honey, no, no, it's not true. -You have made me feel that. | 1:28:08 | 1:28:12 | |
So...I'm leaving. | 1:28:13 | 1:28:16 | |
And I'm giving back all of... | 1:28:16 | 1:28:19 | |
the money, all of the book money. | 1:28:19 | 1:28:21 | |
Look, you've worked so hard. | 1:28:21 | 1:28:24 | |
On us and the book. | 1:28:24 | 1:28:26 | |
-Punish me but don't punish yourself. -You're always so careful | 1:28:28 | 1:28:32 | |
when you talk, always so... | 1:28:32 | 1:28:34 | |
..soft, like a cushion for what you want. | 1:28:36 | 1:28:40 | |
But I am leaving. | 1:28:40 | 1:28:42 | |
But before I go, I give you something. | 1:28:44 | 1:28:47 | |
You are exhausted from your lies. | 1:28:47 | 1:28:50 | |
So tell the truth. | 1:28:55 | 1:28:57 | |
Tell me the truth. About what you did with her. | 1:28:58 | 1:29:03 | |
This time. | 1:29:03 | 1:29:05 | |
It is your moment. | 1:29:05 | 1:29:07 | |
To be clean. | 1:29:07 | 1:29:09 | |
I saw her. | 1:29:20 | 1:29:22 | |
When? | 1:29:24 | 1:29:26 | |
Last month. | 1:29:26 | 1:29:29 | |
It was in town. Down in the village. | 1:29:32 | 1:29:36 | |
We were... | 1:29:40 | 1:29:42 | |
talking about the past and... | 1:29:42 | 1:29:45 | |
I... | 1:29:45 | 1:29:47 | |
I was tempted. | 1:29:47 | 1:29:49 | |
I was tempted enough that I... I, er... | 1:29:49 | 1:29:53 | |
..I went with her... | 1:29:54 | 1:29:56 | |
back to her apartment. | 1:29:56 | 1:29:59 | |
And I kissed her. | 1:30:03 | 1:30:05 | |
And, er... | 1:30:07 | 1:30:10 | |
..and then something happened and I... | 1:30:22 | 1:30:25 | |
..something physically, I just...recoiled | 1:30:28 | 1:30:31 | |
and, um... | 1:30:31 | 1:30:34 | |
..I couldn't go through with it. I couldn't do it. | 1:30:35 | 1:30:39 | |
I, er, just left her standing there and... | 1:30:39 | 1:30:42 | |
I ran down the stairs. | 1:30:42 | 1:30:44 | |
I know you're making a really big decision right now, I understand. | 1:30:46 | 1:30:50 | |
I, er... | 1:30:50 | 1:30:52 | |
I just want you to know that's the truth. That's the truth. | 1:30:54 | 1:30:58 | |
I hate you. | 1:31:13 | 1:31:15 | |
(SOBS) | 1:31:15 | 1:31:18 | |
Yeah, I love you. | 1:31:18 | 1:31:20 | |
I hate you. | 1:31:20 | 1:31:22 | |

an investment, I thought there was someone in there. Jesus Christ! | 1:33:01 | 1:33:05 | |

-You need your freedom, Dick. -What's that? What is that, your opinion? | 1:33:21 | 1:33:25 | |
-You ruined my life because of your fucking opinion?! -I wanted it | 1:33:25 | 1:33:28 | |
for you more than for me. The whole thing, I always did and we did it! | 1:33:28 | 1:33:32 | |

-Can I run something by you, George? -Certainly, Clifford, | 1:39:50 | 1:39:53 | |
-that's what I'm here for. -This was a really bad year for Howard, wasn't it? | 1:39:53 | 1:39:57 | |
The TWA thing, the Air West merger unravelling. | 1:39:57 | 1:40:03 | |
He lost control of... Nixon, his fixer, too, didn't he? | 1:40:03 | 1:40:07 | |
He needed something. He needed... | 1:40:07 | 1:40:10 | |
some leverage, keep him back in line. | 1:40:10 | 1:40:14 | |
"A loss could cost Hughes 137 million." | 1:40:14 | 1:40:18 | |
So one day, he opens his disinfected newspaper and there we are. | 1:40:18 | 1:40:23 | |
Us, with our little book. | 1:40:23 | 1:40:25 | |
When your rival is powerful... find an opportunity. | 1:40:25 | 1:40:29 | |
Create a...a crisis for him. | 1:40:29 | 1:40:32 | |
Hardly had to do anything, just... just a little push. | 1:40:32 | 1:40:35 | |
Then he fed us some dirt. | 1:40:37 | 1:40:40 | |
To get Nixon's attention, a little more dirt. | 1:40:40 | 1:40:43 | |
President thinks this is authentic? | 1:40:43 | 1:40:46 | |
Nixon gets hysterical, thinks the book is real. | 1:40:46 | 1:40:49 | |
Instead of taking short-term advantage, | 1:40:49 | 1:40:52 | |
save the day for them. | 1:40:52 | 1:40:54 | |
And then Howard makes it good for the President. | 1:40:55 | 1:40:58 | |
Cashes in his chit. | 1:40:58 | 1:41:00 | |
And we get buried. | 1:41:00 | 1:41:03 | |
"I take it, sir, you do not know a man named Clifford Irving then?" | 1:41:03 | 1:41:06 | |
"No, I never saw him, I never even heard of him until..." | 1:41:06 | 1:41:10 | |
I'm not angry, George... I'm disappointed. | 1:41:10 | 1:41:14 | |
You know, I thought that, maybe... | 1:41:14 | 1:41:16 | |
..I thought we were partners, Howard and I. | 1:41:18 | 1:41:22 | |
You must not take it personally, Clifford. | 1:41:22 | 1:41:25 | |
Just as...the trees must not take it personally | 1:41:25 | 1:41:28 | |
when a forest is razed for lumber. | 1:41:28 | 1:41:31 | |
They're part of a grand design. | 1:41:31 | 1:41:34 | |
I played it good for a while though, didn't I? | 1:41:34 | 1:41:38 | |
You were tremendous, Clifford. Mr Hughes commented on it. | 1:41:38 | 1:41:42 | |
-Really? -Would I lie to you? | 1:41:42 | 1:41:46 | |
Thank you. Thank you. | 1:41:54 | 1:41:56 | |
