A natural resource that

should be controlled

By the government

for the people,

Not by the private entity

whose major interests

Are to maximize profit.

We have individuals

Who can't even afford

to buy a piece of bread,

And now they won't even

be able to afford

Drinking

a glass of water.

This is something

that cannot occur.

This is something

that we have to stop.

You're listening

to Francisco Francis

On "the truth." Next caller.

I just want to know

What the hell

makes people like Swinton

Step over the line

the way he did.

We all have demons.

Each of us.

Oh, come on!

Bruce Swinton was greedy!

He just wanted

more and more.

It's not only about greed.

It's about many things:

Fear, selfishness.

Are you excusing him, jack?

Is that what you're doing?

It's just not that simple.

I'm not defending him,

I'm not excusing him,

nor am I excusing myself.

You know,

jack, sometimes we...

We do things...

That are difficult

for us to let go of,

Surrendering control,

Even of the thought

that we can...

Judge or forgive

ourselves.

All the things that we've done,

the things we carry in our past,

They only add up to this...

To this moment.

Hi.

Where are you?

I'm at the lake house.

Even violence.

Non-Violence itself is

Not the absence

of fighting the enemy.

It's... it's the ability

to fight

The Dee of the enemy,

not the human being.

The lake house?

And I know that

what you have done

Has opened up

a road to save

Thousands and thousands

of people.

God, we used

to come here a lot

When we were kids,

didn't we?

Yeah.

It's a little chilly but...

It's beautiful as ever.

You taught me how to swim there.

You have brought light...

To a situation...

That was in the dark.

Bruce, I'm on my way.

You've saved

Countless amounts

of people,

And for that I'm very

thankful to you, jack Begosian.

Morgan.

- Yeah?

- I'm proud of you.

Don't...

Bruce?

At the end of the day,

all we can do is

Search for the truth,

Learn from it and most

importantly defend it.

So on behalf of myself

and Francisco Francis,

I am jack Begosian and you're

listening to "the truth".

Good night

and make it a good day.

- Thanks for having me.

- All right.

I, myself... I'm

going home and that's...

That's a good place

to start.

Come here.

Beyond the

ideas of wrong-Doings

And right-Doings

is a field.

I'll meet you there.
