Silver City
We are miners
Hard rock miners
To the shaft house
We must go
Pour your bottles
On our shoulders
We are marching to the slow
On the line, boys
Freedom of religious worship
and expression.
Drill your holes and stand in line
And his lack of political experience.
Soldiers ready...
His positions on crime,
immigration and gay marriage...
have earned him the endorsement of several
Christian and family values organizations.
Can't you feel the rock dust
In your lungs
It'll cut down a miner
When he is still young
Two years and the silicosis
Takes hold
Freedom from the cultural tyranny...
and the new-age demagogues.
- I do mean citizen.
- Yes, I feel like I'm dying
From mining for gold
What I'm talking about comes down to
that precious word "freedom."
Richard Pilager cares
about Colorado.
I always turn to nature...
when I need to sort things out
in my mind...
to make sense of the world.
But our environment is under siege...
Under siege?
Under fire? Under attack?
It's not under anything, Dickie.
It's endangered.
I always turn to nature when...
Okay. Okay. All right.
Look. No, no!
We'll buy 10 of the 20-second spots...
and you'll put a hold
on the next 12.
All right.
No, I'm here! I'm here!
I'm shooting
and the press is gonna be here
in about an hour...
and we're gonna have to give them
a photo op and position quotes.
So have the helicopter ready
on my signal.
If they get really pushy,
I'll whisk him away.
Can't you find something less garish?
Look at this!
- It looks like a French tickler.
- It's supposed to attract the big ones.
We're trying to attract voters, okay?
Not fish.
Folks. Let's set up for rehearsal.
Director guy, the trout
are gonna spit this thing out.
No, Dickie, we just want you to go
through the action, okay?
Nice and smooth, so we can
- We'll deal with the props later.
- Let me get out of your way.
Okay. Let's start in nice and tight
on the hands, move up to his face...
and then go around to the front.
Okay, here we go!
We're rehearsing!
Roll sound.
Action!
You know, I've always
turned back to nature...
to sort things out in my mind,
to make sense of the world...
but our environment...
Damn it.
Our environment is endangered.
I'm hung up on something here.
- Here, let me get that for you.
- No, I can get it.
Think I hooked a Russian submarine!
Dang, it's a whopper,
whatever it is.
Oh, God.
Put that down.
Turn that off. Now!
Turn it off, now!
Donna, we're scrambling here.
- What is the backup location for this?
- Wilson's Creek.
Donna, we're gonna change
location to Wilson's Creek.
Notify the press people
and get the chopper in here immediately.
Dickie, you're on the chopper. Go!
- Somebody's screwing with us, Chuck.
- I'll deal with it.
Find out who it is
and cut him off at the knees!
I'm on top of it. Just go.
All right. People?
We're gonna relocate,
and I want you all to follow Leslie...
to Wilson's Creek, okay?
Hey.
Come here. Come here.
Come on.
Hold this. Hold it.
There you go.
Leslie, I don't want
any of these people to leave...
before I debrief them.
- Should I call the police?
- No. I'll do that.
- Sir?
- Yeah?
What do you want me to do with this?
You don't reel it in,
and you don't let it get away.
Boy's been through the wringer.
You understand how much we appreciate
a low profile here, Sheriff?
I've already spoken to Captain Fox
at the State Patrol.
You have, have you?
You do your job...
and I am certain that
you're very good at it...
and I'm just doing mine.
Sheriff, I found something!
I don't think that's what
killed him, Davis! Keep looking.
Enthusiastic kid. Just hired him.
Do you have any idea,
any guess as to what this might be?
Henry does all the guesswork
on the cold ones.
These people insist on floating
to the surface on my day off.
Henry.
Chuck Raven. We met at
the fund-raiser for Clark Hodges.
Right. You're Dickie...
We were just about to shoot
an environmental spot...
beautiful setting, beautiful day...
then this happens.
I'm surprised you caught anything
with this lure.
Kermit, my man!
What's shakin'?
You might want to run the Dustbuster
over him while you're at it, Lupe.
Boss wants to see you.
Just filling out my time sheet.
She told me to let her know
the minute you come in.
What'd I f*** up this time?
Danny boy!
My favorite snoop.
Mort, how's
the real estate moving?
Got a big one on the hook, Danny.
Just gotta land her.
Later, folks!
Mort the mogul. He's had a big one
on the hook since the day I met him.
Danny?
I have a client in my office...
who's brought a lot of business
to this firm over the years...
and I need you to be
on your best behavior.
Obviously, we at the campaign...
don't want to seem
too interested.
We don't want to be associated
in the public mind with...
Why don't you just walk away from it?
That's exactly what I intend to do.
These things tend to stick
in the public mind.
People get distracted
from the message.
Gerald Ford falling down
that flight of stairs.
And Carter whacking
that little rabbit with his paddle.
I don't want my candidate
remembered as...
As the guy who hooked a stiff
in Arapaho Lake.
Exactly.
There's also the remote possibility
that this is not a coincidence.
I don't think
I'm being paranoid...
when I consider the possibility...
that one of our opponents
had something to do with it.
You mean somebody put a dead body
in the lake as a prank?
I'm not accusing
the other side.
I'm saying that when you
play this game to win...
you're bound to step on a few toes.
There are a few loose cannons
on this deck...
people who hold grudges.
Who'd hold a grudge
against Dickie Pilager?
Unless it was some hazing incident
from his fraternity days.
I am the best at what I do
because I have the best intelligence.
Here are three names.
These are people
who I consider to be...
unstable enough
or vindictive enough...
And you want them investigated?
I want them confronted.
Let them know
they're being watched.
Don't be subtle.
A good, stiff warning.
Nothing actionable.
And, of course, the press is not to
hear a whisper of this.
Totally confidential.
by... next Thursday.
Happy hunting.
I ought to put a muzzle on you.
Sorry.
Okay, you're off jury prep.
You're on this.
or expenses.
I really appreciate
your confidence, Grace.
Don't.
Peters is still in Grand Rapids
chasing the trust fund kid...
and Kelly's stuck in court
for the next two weeks.
What I want to know is,
can I trust you?
I always pictured you in some smoky hole
in the wall, hunched over your computer...
spewing your bile at the military
industrial complex.
Yeah, well,
it is a hole in the wall...
but I'm surrounded by a bunch
of anti-tobacco fascists.
I think we call 'em
pro-oxygen these days.
