I am to take possession of them
and bring them to the White House.
What files?
Mr. Hoover's secret files.
The Personal and Confidentials.
(WHISPERS INAUDIBLY)
Official and Confidentials.
There are no secret files.
MAN:
We thank thee this daywith arms open for J. Edgar Hoover,
for his lifelong trust in thee,
his steadfast devotion to the nation,
his elevated patriotism,
his commitment to justice
and peace in the nation.
We ask that we may be as strong,
- brave as he was brave...
- Excuse me.
- MAN:
Loyal as he was loyal...- Pardon me.
Serve as he served,
love the nation as he loved it.
MAN:
Felt!ED:
Jesus. Bill Sullivan.I'd like a word with you.
Bill Sullivan and Mark Felt, together again.
I think I was the one
who recommended you to the old man
for your first big promotion.
- MARK:
You know you were.- That's right. Mark Felt never forgets.
That's why everyone likes you.
Hell, I even like you.
And I don't like anybody.
What do you want?
I had 30 years in the bureau.
Same as you.
- You were the director's bag man.
- Oh, yeah?
You taped Martin Luther King with other women
and sent the pictures to his wife.

only because I was who I was.
You and I were an ecosystem.
That's how nature works.

Now, the king is dead.
Long live the king.
- Are you the new king?
- You tell me.
You're the president's new best friend.
Mark Felt.
Integrity, bravery, fidelity.
Ladies and gentlemen, the G-man's G-man.
You want to know what everybody
really thinks of you? Do you?
Competent, reliable, loyal.
- What's wrong with that?
- Nothing.
If you're a golden retriever.
Hoover's gone.
You're alone now,
holding the end of your own leash.

SECRETARY:
(OVER INTERCOM)Attorney General, line one.
Dick.
Yes.
Well, I have enjoyed every day of it.
The FBI has been home to me
and my family for 30 years and...
Yes.
"A new day."
Yes, a fresh start.
It's what I would do.
Who do you have in mind?
I'm sorry. Could you repeat that? Who?
- Welcome to the FBI.
- A friendly face.
Gentlemen.
Now, Mr. Gray.
I know the bureau
has its closets and skeletons.
You can count on me to keep those doors shut.
I'll be candid with you.
I was a submarine commander in the navy.
I was father, confessor and friend
to 18-year-olds.
Did you know that?
I'm not a suspicious man by nature.
a strange choice to run the FBI.
In fact, when the president called my wife
