Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House Page #3

---

if you know what I mean.

Now, let me be candid with you, Mr. Gray.

The FBI is the most respected

institution in the world.

It is one of the two cockpits

that fly America,

and it is what it is because no one

from the outside ever got inside.

Mr. Hoover has been old, a long time.

We all know it's been you

running the FBI, Felt.

- Your reputation is stellar.

- Let me finish.

You have no law enforcement experience.

You're an outsider.

That is your battle to fight,

but I'm going to help you.

- Well, I appreciate that.

- Don't.

It's not an act of generosity.

This is about this building

and what goes on in here

and what it means to the country.

That is all I care about.

As long as you keep the FBI first,

you'll be able to count on me.

This is your office.

(DOOR OPENS)

I thought the job was yours.

What did I miss?

You and Mr. Hoover.

Don't you remember

why he said he liked you so much?

He always said

you and he had the same enemies.

That's why.

Thirty years.

Thirteen transfers.

Thirteen homes to leave.

Thirteen homes to make.

I left behind every friend I ever made.

And I kept my mouth shut,

like the perfect little FBI wife.

Until one day you wake up

and you're so different than you used to be

you can't even remember

what the point was in the first place.

Till there's just one thing left in my head.

The one idea left in my head is,

at least Mark's going to get that job.

- And that will make up for everything.

- Audrey.

They don't deserve you.

They don't deserve us.

You need to resign.

When the bureau is in better hands,

then, I'll go.

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

- What is it?

- This is getting complicated.

You better get down here.

REPORTER:
Five men wearing white gloves

and carrying cameras

were caught early today in the headquarters

of the Democratic National Committee,

in Washington.

They apparently were unarmed

and nobody knows yet

why they were even there.

MARK:
Mr. Kunkel.

Straight into the Democrat offices

in the Watergate.

Who's our spy?

ROBERT KUNKEL:
Baldwin, Alfred C.

Checked in six weeks ago.

Says he was more than just the lookout.

He says he was supposed

to listen for "girlie stuff."

Guess the Dems are having

a lot of trouble with their wives.

He say where he got his instructions?

Baldwin is one of ours.

Ex-FBI.

He worked under Bill Sullivan.

When he was in the bureau,

was he in Mr. Sullivan's group?

KUNKEL:
We think so.

MARK:
What about CIA connections?

No idea. Why?

Because 30 minutes ago

four of those burglars told a judge

they are ex-CIA.

What the hell is this?

REPORTER:
One of the most fascinating

and exotic stories

ever to come out of Washington, DC,
