[00:01.01] Mister Vice President
[00:03.80] Mister Madison
[00:06.53] Senator Burr
[00:09.27] What is this?
[00:11.30] We have the check stubs, from separate accounts
[00:13.54] Almost a thousand dollars, paid in different amounts
[00:16.29] To a Mister James Reynolds way back in
[00:18.55] Seventeen ninety-one
[00:19.81] Is that what you have, are you done?
[00:21.81] You are uniquely situated by virtue of your position
[00:24.84] Though 'virtue' is not a word I'd apply to this situation
[00:27.39] To seek financial gain, to stray from your sacred mission
[00:30.13] And the evidence suggests you've engaged in speculation
[00:33.14] An immigrant embezzling our government funds
[00:35.67] I can almost see the headline, your career is done
[00:38.98] I hope you saved some money for your daughter and sons
[00:41.39] Ya best g'wan run back where ya come from
[00:45.00] Ha you don't even know what you're asking me to confess
[00:49.51] Confess
[00:50.54] You have nothing, I don't have to tell you anything at all
[00:54.03] Unless
[00:54.84] Unless
[00:55.88] If I can prove that I never broke the law
[00:57.92] Do you promise not to tell another soul what you saw?
[01:02.16] No one else was in the room where it happened
[01:03.91] Is that a yes?
[01:05.39] Um, yes
[01:08.66] Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health
[01:12.41] And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
[01:15.19] In the pockets of people like me, down on their luck
[01:18.14] You see, that was my wife who you decided to
[01:20.14] What
[01:21.39] She courted me
[01:21.91] Escorted me to bed and when she had me in a corner
[01:24.16] That's when Reynolds extorted me
[01:26.48] For a sordid fee
[01:27.46] I paid him quarterly
[01:28.48] I may have mortally wounded my prospects
[01:30.23] But my papers are orderly
[01:32.20] As you can see I kept a record of every check in my checkered history
[01:35.47] Check it again against your list n' see consistency
[01:38.71] I never spent a cent that wasn't mine
[01:40.44] You sent the dogs after my scent, that's fine
[01:44.00] Yes, I have reasons for shame
[01:45.47] But I have not committed treason and sullied my good name
[01:48.78] As you can see I have done nothing to provoke legal action
[01:52.01] Are my answers to your satisfaction?
[01:56.54] My God
[01:58.26] Gentlemen, let's go
[02:00.53] So?
[02:02.03] The people won't know what we know
[02:05.02] Burr
[02:06.03] How do I know you won't use this against me
[02:08.06] The next time we go toe to toe?
[02:10.54] Alexander, rumors only grow
[02:13.79] And we both know what we know
