I needed this, like, yesterday.

I have a project due

in a couple of days.

Come on, Jessie. I've

been coming to you forever.

I'll do what I can.

Get out so I can work.

So... tonight?

Get out.

Thank you.

With the

jobless and crime rates

At an all-time high,

This city needs someone

who can deliver results.

So, if you want results,

And you're tired of broken promises,

Then vote Lee Rudman.

You'll be glad you did.

I'm Lee Rudman. And I

approved this message

As all of you know,

During Mayor Stanwood's administration,

I became his most trusted assistant.

More than that, he

became a father to me.

The father I never had.

Now, he didn't want a lot

Of lavish expenses going

into his funeral. He...

Even in his death had the best interest

Of the people he served in

the forefront of his mind.

I think now is a good time...

To take a moment and

say your final goodbyes.

Well, we'll give this guy a day.

Tomorrow we pay him a visit.

I trust you, James.

Thank you, sir.

You're welcome.

Sometimes more than the

other people that I work with.

I'm sick, James.

And... I need to keep

my condition secret.

Well, what do you mean sick?

We can get you

treatments, specialists...

I've already gone through all of that.

There's nothing else that can be done.

I can delay the process

But there's nothing else I can do.

So, uh...

I don't want to alarm anyone.

That's why I want you and...

we, to keep this under wraps.

We could figure out a way for

you to get me my medication

Without anybody finding out.

Yes, sir.

I need to talk to you

about how I want you

To handle things after I'm gone.

It's open.

Your assistant said

you wanted to see me.

I came as soon as I could.

Have a seat.

How are you holding up?

Yeah, I know.

Sam was a good man.

Even though we were political opponents,

He still treated me with respect.

Every bad thing he ever said about

you had to do with your golf game.

That sounds like Stan.

How's your wife doing? I

know they were old friends.

Well, you can imagine.

They worked together on

quite a few city projects.

That's actually how I

got bitten by the bug.

Give her my best.

I will.

So what's on your mind?

A job.

A job? For me or you?

For me. Working for you.

I already have a bunch of interns.

With Stan gone, it's

only a matter of time

Before I'm handed my walking papers.

You and I both know the

vice mayor is not well enough

To continue her duties.

Those duties most certainly

will not be coming my way.

What exactly are you looking for?

Make me your campaign manager.

I already got one of those.

He's the best in the business.

I know, and I respect what he does
