honest than good guys.

And more fun.

- Life lessons by Gary Webb.

- No, Mom. You actually have to read this.

I did already. It's great.

You guys gotta go, come on.

You heard the lady!

Come on! Who wants to ride

in the green machine?

- Dad's taking us?

- I'm taking you.

You're not going in your PJ's, are you?

Come on, guys!

- Let's get smushed.

- That's where I sit.

Got it? Step in like sardines.

Bye, Momma!

Bye Momma!

- Bye, Momma!

- Bye.

Bye Momma!

- One, two, three...

- Bye, Mom!

Here you go.

- It's probably cold.

- Thank you.

Hey, I know how bad you want

to do the Guv today.

Some real reporter work.

Yeah. How that sh*t gives you satisfaction,

I'll never know.

Hey, that story this morning?

That was a big one.

- But not the" big one.

- Yeah, what would that be?

Catching Clinton breaking into Watergate?

Hey.

Rich Kline, LA Times. How you doing?

My editors are pissed that

we missed the drug forfeiture story.

I'm sure they are.

It's an amazing job, by the way.

You got any advice for me, or...?

Ah, yeah. Don't let the a**holes win?

I don't know.

Hey, who's Coral Baca and

why does she keep calling me?

Nobody?

She called five times...?

- Hola?

- Hi, this is Gary Webb.

He finally calls. I like your work.

You follow my work?

I do now.

Okay, what can I do for you?

It's what I can do for you.

Okay, what can you do for me?

My boyfriend Raffie's in prison,

for cocaine trafficking.

That's Rafael Cornejo.

Was that Columbian?

- Nicaraguan.

- Nicaraguan.

He has this gorgeous house

the government just took.

Good story, no?

Yes, it is. I just wrote it.

But Raffie's story is different.

He sold drugs for the government.

You want to say that again?

He brought four tons

of cocaine into the country...

...for the U.S. government.

Look, you have a very lovely voice.

- Thank you-

- I've copied every piece of paper.

Selling drugs for the government.

Have you written that story?

This is the thing you need to see.

Wait a minute.

You gotta be kidding me.

Grand Jury transcript?

How'd you get ahold of it?

The government turned it over

on discovery by mistake.

Yeah, some mistake.

It was Russell Dodson.

Federal prosecutor Russell Dodson?

The little b*tch.

I called the cops on him once.

Called the cops on the feds?

His goons were sneaking around my house.

Could have been rapists.

I think I'm gonna like you.

So who's this Danilo Blandon?

Wait.

Ok. Let's see.

That's who sold drugs for the government.

He was a friend.

He played with my kid.

Then he rats.

He's probably the biggest trafficker

in the whole country.

Way bigger than Raffie.

Why use whale to catch catfish?

- That make sense to you Gary Webb?
