I had the perfect life until
I was in a coma for six years.
And then I woke up
and found my fianc�e
married to another man.
My son doesn't know
who I am.
Everything has changed
including me.
One touch and I can
see things
things that happened,
things that will happen.
You should see what I see.
Narrator:
Previously, on "The Dead Zone"
My support
for Greg Stillson is founded
on his vision for the future
which promises to be very bright.
Johnny Smith, Greg Stillson.
Stillson: Because the day
of reckoning is coming.
Greg Stillson
is coming to Washington.
- You're giving up your life for this.
- This has a high priority.
So
what did you think?
I know these people.
They're my neighbors.
And they will applaud for apple pie
and the American flag,
but come election day,
they will not vote for you
unless you actually have
something to say.
Ouch.
Find our more about her.
Sarah: Honestly, I think that
you make a lot of noise
and people react to noise.
I think that you're crude,
uh aggressive,
and bullheaded.
Good coffee.
Again, that's just as a public figure.
I don't mean to imply
Of course you do,
and that's fine.
I like to hear it.
I never get to hear this stuff.
And do you know why?
Everyone around you
is always kissing your ***?
Because everyone around me
is always kissing my ***.
I like to say that I am the last
honest politician
but I can't find any people
who will be honest for me.
And that is why I'm always
on the lookout for people like you.
But you don't even know me.
Bachelor's in Political Science
from the University of Maine.
And you want Harrison Fisher
out of office, as do the rest of us.
Who do you think is going to do that?
It is true I intend to shake things up.
I want to make a difference,
and empower others to do the same.
How do you feel
about making a difference?
- Smart woman.
- Did you ask her about John Smith?
Naw, I decided not to.
Old wounds, and all that.
Greg, we have to deal with this.
You really have it in
for this Smith guy.
- He's asking questions about you.
- The wrong kind of questions?
It's not just that.
It's like he knows
what he's looking for already.
This psychic thing
it really freaks you out.
All I'm saying is that
we gotta deal with this.
Don't worry, Sonny.
I'm way ahead of you.
(softly)
I'm way, way ahead of you.
Anything about me in there?
Nope.
It's the sports section.
(laughs)
Is there anything
about me in there?
- Can I help you, Mr.
Stillson?
- No, it's Greg, please.
We've met a couple of times,
just never had a proper sit down.
Gene Purdy seems to think you're
the greatest thing since Christian rock.
He says,
"Greg, get to know this guy.
"
I'd call first, but I figured
you'd sense me coming anyway.
- Doesn't work that way.
- No?
How does it work?
You touch someone,
and you get a vision of them
doing something bad?
Like kidnapping a kid,
or murdering some girl
then you try
to make it right, right?
Something like that.
And at the rally,
when we shook hands
you had a vision of me
doing something bad
and now you
want to make it right.
I may have done things in the past
I'm not proud of, but upon reflection
I realize I had good reasons
and best intentions for all of them.
Whatever you
saw you probably
well, you probably
just took out of context.
You can't
see good intentions.
Can you?
As if I have to justify myself
to a fortune-teller.
I know what this is about.
You want a chip in the big game,
and I don't blame you.
- I don't want anything from you.
- Then stop going through my closet.
I got enough to worry about
with Harrison Fisher,
- I don't have time to worry about you.
- Then don't.
Look, I know you've seen
some awful things
wicked, brutal things
but you ain't seen politics up close.
And trust me,
you don't want to.
(laughing)
What'd you see?
Do I win?
Don't tell me.
Don't you tell me, Johnny.
Don't you tell me.
(theme music playing)
* Oooh *
* Fall in love, fall in love,
fall in love *
* Fall in love *
* Feel no shame
for what you are *
* Feel no shame for what
you are *
* Feel no shame
for what you are *
* Fall in love,
fall in love *
* Fall in love.

I got a bad feeling
about this, Johnny.
So do I.
I got a real bad feeling
about the end of the world, Bruce.
You seen my black
leather case, man?
Oh! Look,
how do you know that?
What are you talking about?
You know how I know.
You told me you touched Stillson
and saw Washington DC in flames,
but how did it get that way?
Was it a nuclear attack?
Did you see Greg Stillson
breathe fire down?
Did you actually see
him doing anything?
I've been sitting here for two months,
digging up the past,
- trying to find a connection, clue.
- And?
I'm sick of waiting.
I know this guy is linked
no, he's responsible for a future
atrocity that will end in apocalypse.
I just know it.
Look, if you had the chance
to go back in time
and kill Hitler,
would you do it?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down, okay?
No, think.
It's 1926,
he still hasn't risen to power yet.
You can still get to him.
You're alone in a room
with him with a gun in your hand.
- What would you do?
- Did you buy a gun, John?
I don't need a gun.
All I need to do
is just change one small detail.
And all of life changes, right?
Bruce, today
I found that one detail.
Guess who showed it to me.
- I know that you're not gonna say
- Greg Stillson.
He said I've got enough to worry
about with Harrison Fisher,
I don't have time to worry about you.
I don't know why I didn't see it before.
See what?
If I can help Fisher win the election,
Stillson's rise to power is shut down.
Are you sure this is how
you should be using yourself?
It's the only thing I've been
sure about in a long time.
Man: We are two days
into the debates, people,
and let's face facts,
we are losing.
Greg Stillson will say pretty much
anything and as a result
he's closing the gap
in the polls.
We need to change
our angle of approach.
This isn't issue versus issue,
it's candidate versus candidate.
It's experience
versus ignorance.
It's decorated past
versus shady past.
No, let's not go there.
I've managed to stay in office
for 15 years without name-calling.
It'll just look like weakness.
No, the dirtier Stillson plays,
the cleaner we play.
Hey, Sylvia,
what's going on here?
- Just taking an application.
- An application?
- Hi, John Smith.
- Yes, I know who you are.
I read the papers cover to cover
every morning, Mr.
Smith.
Do you start with the funnies?
Because sometimes I think
- I'm the only one that does that.
- I always like
Sylvia, please.
What do you want?
I want to volunteer
my services, Mr
Phil Rogers.
I'm the party's campaign liaison.
And I can't help wondering
why a local celebrity and known
Stillson supporter is lurking in our
offices in the middle of the debates.
I wouldn't call
this lurking, Phil.
Maybe you shouldn't believe
everything in the papers.
It's hard to misinterpret a photo
of you and Greg Stillson hand in hand,
- at a rally for his benefit
- Mr.
Fisher!
- Phil: Rick!
- Is there a problem, Phil?
Yes, Greg Stillson
sent over a celebrity spy.
- That's not true, sir.
- Channel 9, you do the weather right?
- Guys, guys, let the man speak.
- I'm not a spy for Stillson, sir.
I don't do the weather.
Some people call
me a psychic, which is a broad term.
I have used my abilities in the past to
help the police and some other people,
but never for a political cause,
which is why I think this is important.
We think volunteers are important, too.
Thanks for coming down.
- Congressman
- Excuse me.
I'm sorry, Mr.
Smith.
The congressman's time is very limited
and I'm afraid we don't have room
for a psychic in our circus.
Thanks, Phil.
For the last 15 years,
all it's been about
is tax breaks
and campaign kickbacks.
And woe to any mere mortal
who stands in the way.
Mr.
Stillson, please,
back your arguments up with the facts.
Fact: In August of '99
you voted yes on HR-232,
which awarded 300,000 acres
of North Woods to Harper Lumber,
the biggest timber company in Maine
and your major campaign contributor.
You didn't care that it forced
a smaller logging business under.
You put 138 people out of work.
I'd have to check on that incident,
but I'm sure that my vote
was in the best interests
of our citizens and workers.
Oh, we're all sure
of that, Harry.
(applauding)
Hey, what are you
doing up there?
I'm getting good at this.
- Uh-huh, bill 222
- Johnny: No, 232.
232.
Listen,
Stillson's gonna to try to sandbag him
about some logging company,
and how HR-232 shut them down
and put people out of work.
I'll pass it on.
Thank you for calling,
Mr.
Schmidt.
Fisher for Congress.
Candidate: List of things that folks
have told me are important to them.
At the top of that list, affordable
prescription drugs for the elderly.
(applauding)
- Come on.
Come on.
- Don't get nervous, man.
- You'll make me nervous.
- I'm not nervous.
I'm psyched.
- Psyched?
- Bruce, you should have seen me today.
I walked right up there
on that stage,
I touched the podium and I saw
everything that was going to happen.
So? That's what you
always do.
Is that what you think?
That I'm in control of this thing?
The visions have
a life of their own, man.
I work for them.
But today, up there,
they worked for me.
I wonder what Purdy
will think when he finds out
I'm standing against
his little golden boy, up there.
Forget Purdy.
What's that about?
Sarah? What's she doing
sitting with Stillson's people?
Mr.
Stillson, please,
back your arguments up with the facts.
Stillson:
Fact: In August '99
you voted yes on HR-232,
which awarded 300,00 acres
of North Forest
to Harper Timber,
the largest
lumber company in Maine
and your major
campaign contributor.
- Come on.
Come on
- You didn't seem to care that it forced
a smaller lumber company to go under.
Put 138 people out of work.
Well, you are right
about one thing, Greg.
Aaron Harper is my primary
campaign contributor.
I asked him to step in
and clean up a mess.
Ajax Logging,
that smaller business,
had been clear-cutting
the area to shreds.
I allowed Harper Lumber
to annex the land
under the condition that
they employ selective cutting
and we saved that forest.
Mr.
Harper, I believe
you're in the audience tonight.
Would you stand up, please?
Come on, Aaron, get up.
(cheering)
Let these folks see
what a corporate monster looks like.
Sylvia:
Excuse me.
Congressman Fisher would like you
to stop by our post-debate meeting
at campaign headquarters,
if you're available.
Johnny:
Okay, thank you.
I don't care, Sonny.
We got a leak somewhere.
When I find it, I'm gonna plug it
with my bare hands.
I looked like a fool.
Greg, there's no way he could have
seen that question coming.
No way.
Thank you.
What's the fallout?
Word is the night
pretty much went to Fisher.
I looked like an idiot up there.
Completely unprepared.
Harder.
Your dad's not happy about
you calling out Aaron Harper.
Harper doesn't care.
Harder!
I think you made a bad play
with John Smith, today.
So I can feel it!
Go.
Go!
He's all yours.
Johnny Smith
*** crippled freak.
I hate freaks, Sonny.
I really do.
Like that retarded chick in that movie
I just wanted to strangle her.
- What was the name of that movie?
- Maybe I should have a talk with him.
No.
I don't think
that's necessary just yet.
We'll give him some more time.
Man: Here he is, here he is.
This is the guy! This is the guy!
Get him some punch.
Get the boss in here, quickly.
You, sir,
you may have some punch.
- Oh, thank you.
- No.
(applauding)
You know,
you could say it's a
an unexplained phenomenon
that Stillson's gaining on us.
I guess maybe we can use
a psychic around here after all.
(distant bomb falling)
(explodes)
(screaming)
(soldiers shouting)
(gun ***)
Johnny: Get in there!
Get in there! Go!
Move it!
Now! Now!
Get in there!
Go! Move!
Get in there! Where are the men?!
Where are the weapons?!
Soldier #1: This is the place!
These are the coordinates!
- Keep your eyes on them!
- These are civilians!
Soldier #2:
Everybody calm down.
- Grenade!
- (automatic gunfire)
Soldier: Go! Go!
Johnny:
Stand down!
Stand down!
(frantic screaming)
Johnny: It was a can of corn, Mulvert!
It was a can of corn!
You okay?
Yeah, yeah.
No, it's nothing.
What'd you guys
put in the punch, anyway, huh?
Sarah: I didn't know you'd
be coming by.
What's up?
Johnny: I wanted to ask you
a question in person.
- Okay.
- Nothing serious, just
I saw you last night
at the debates at Town Hall.
Were you sitting
with Stillson's people?
Yeah, um
I guess you could say that
I'm working for his campaign now.
What were you doing
at Town Hall?
Just observing.
Because, people are saying that you
joined Harrison Fisher's campaign.
- I knew that couldn't be true.
- Who told you that?
It's just the word
around the Stillson camp.
Has Stillson been asking you
questions about me?
Why would he ask
questions about you?
Better yet, why are you
asking questions about him?
Is this true, about
the Harrison Fisher thing?
(Sarah gasps)
You have always voted against him.
And now you want
to keep him in office?
Since when do you even
get involved like that?
Let's just say I want things
to stay how they are.
You're not using your ability
to influence this election, are you?
Because, that would be really wrong,
Johnny.
I mean really wrong.
- Believe me, Sarah, I have my reasons.
- What reasons?
What is it?
I don't feel too good.
I'm gonna take off.
Are you okay?
Bruce: Damn.
I knew you saw
something last night,
but not My Lai.
Johnny: On a smaller scale, that's
what it felt like.
Except one guy.
He had a gun.
He was probably protecting his family.
They were all women and children.
I looked up the citation
for Fisher's Bronze Star,
it said the raid took out
and they destroyed
a weapons cache.
They reported a lie, man.
Do you realize
how huge this is?
We're sitting on top
of a major scandal.
We gotta find somebody
to corroborate
we gotta get witnesses
who were there.
No.
Harrison Fisher
is a decorated war hero.
If the truth comes out, it's like
you said, it would be a major scandal.
Big enough to kill
his chances for re-election,
which gives Stillson
a clear path to power.
You're talking about
covering up for a guy who lied
about murdering
innocent people.
Except,
Fisher's not a bad guy.
All right? He got caught up
in a bad situation.
He wasn't in command.
So you're just gonna
let him off the hook?
- Are you allowed to do that?
- What do you mean, am I allowed?
I mean, can you just ignore
one of your visions?
I though you worked for them.
Not when they're working
against each other.
Bruce, if I want to try
to change the future,
I gotta let the past
stay where it is.
I gotta tell you, Phil,
I can't see any limit to this thing.
See the future, see the past,
see our polling team
fire them,
we don't need them anymore.
This is the epitome
of out-of-the-box thinking, sir.
The reception for the Daughters
of the American Revolution!
It's at the Governor's Mansion.
All the candidates will be there.
- Do you have a tux?
- No way! Look,
if it gets out that Harrison Fisher
is consulting a psychic,
we'll get laughed out of office!
- Sir, please.
- Would you guys mind stepping out?
I'd like to have a word
with John.
- Man: Sure.
- Thank you.
Got your wallet on you, John?
- Uh yeah.
- Slide it over here.
Show you a trick.
See, I can tell everything
about a man by looking at his wallet.
Let's see now.
Under a year old.
Looks like department store leather.
I'm guessing you
didn't buy this yourself.
- No, that was a gift.
- From your girlfriend.
- Not at that time.
- Ah
Let's see you hate having
driver's license photos taken
just like everybody else.
$25 you travel light.
One credit card.
One Cleaves Mills
Public Library card.
Frayed laminate
you actually use it.
Insurance.
No pictures, but
- jackpot!
- Business cards are the jackpot?
Each one is a story.
Sheriff
CEO
website designer
You know
what this wallet says?
Here is a man whose life
is stripped down
unstructured
and very, very complicated,
because your life is more focused
on other people than yourself.
In that regard,
you and I are a lot alike.
I like your wallet, John.
Thanks.
I suppose you already know
what's in mine.
Not without looking.
My abilities don't tell me everything.
They just kind of lead me to where
I'm needed, or where I can be of use.
Oh, well you can definitely
be of use around here.
But I agree with Phil
that we should
keep a low profile.
You should come to the reception
tonight, but come alone.
And we should probably keep interaction
between us to a minimum.
- Yes, sir.
I think that's best.
- (knocks)
Sir, Congressman Russell
is on the phone for you.
Thank you.
Well welcome aboard.
- Excuse me.
- Good day, sir.
(jazz music playing)
- Hey, Johnny.
- Waitress: Champagne, sir?
- There you go.
- You clean up very nicely.
Yeah, all I need is a top hat.
Come on,
I'll show you around.
Over here, Patty Keenan,
wife of the governor,
DAR officer,
puts this whole party together.
Bald guy with the baby face,
Benny Sarver Mayor of Augusta.
Johnny, this gentleman
with the red bowtie is Henry Chao.
- Supreme Court Justice?
- Bingo.
I definitely want you
to touch him later.
And here
is our Congressman
talking to Aaron Harper
of Harper Lumber.
That guy creeps me out.
Everybody in this place
creeps me out.
Hey, this is supposed to be
the glamorous side of politics.
Yeah, well, glamour looks better
on you than it does on me.
I think you look
very debonair.
- Yeah?
- Yes.
Bannerman.
Walt Bannerman.
Mr.
Bannerman.
Hey, what's he doing here?
(couple moaning)
(knocks)
- Three minutes.
- Smith is here.
Why don't we
hold this thought?
Johnny, I didn't expect
to see you here.
Me neither.
Nice tux.
Thank you.
Now, what in God's name
do you think you're doing?
I do so many things in God's name, Gene.
Which are you referring to?
Is this because of
something I've done?
If so, there are easier ways
to get my attention.
Doesn't concern you.
Faith Heritage Alliance is backing
Greg Stillson for Congress
- to have our
- Mascot?
most visible representative,
besides myself,
turn his back on that endorsement
this concerns me.
Hey, it's a free country, Gene.
Two
years ago you endorsed Harrison Fisher.
You didn't have any problems
turning your back on him.
Johnny, look, I need to
understand your reasons.
Hello, boys.
You tried those
stuffed chicken things? Ugh!
But I always have the corn-bread.
Corn-bread's good.
Reverend, may I have
the honor of this dance?
- Oh, I don't
- Go for it, Reverend.
I think he wants to talk to me.
Thought you might like to chat,
just the two of us.
Not really.
I gotta say, Smith, I'm a bit
disappointed in your performance so far.
Not really living up to the hype.
You have
my deepest apologies.
Now listen, I know sending you over
to Fisher was a bit of a gamble
but in my experience,
risk provides the greatest pay off.
What did you say?
Now that trick you did
at the debates, that was
that was good.
I don't know how you did that, but
I figured you'd be of use to Fisher,
but I was betting by now
you'd have blown the lid
off his little secret.
Whatever he did has got to be
10 times worse than anything I did.
(softly)
Yeah, well
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Come on, Johnny.
There's no one else here.
I'm being honest with you.
I know Fisher's hiding something,
I just don't know what it is.
I actually found out
about a year ago,
when I tracked down an ex-Nam buddy
of his name of John Mulvert
used to be in the Navy SEALs.
Well, by the time I got ahold
of him he was a useless drunk.
But I did get excited one time when
Mulvert said he wanted to spill his guts
about something he wanted
to get off his chest.
But I never had a chance
to talk to the fat lush,
'cause he blew
his brains out with a.
45.
I know it is damn shame,
but it made me realize that there is
an awful truth to be found.
And I knew that if
I sweet-talk you just right,
you'd go see Fisher.
And if you did go see Fisher,
you'd see that awful truth.
'Cause
'cause that's what you do.
Yeah.
Listen,
I'm sorry to break it to you,
but Fisher's
got nothing to hide.
And now, thanks to you,
he's got nothing to worry about.
I'm gonna
make sure he wins this.
(laughs)
I think I can tell when somebody
has something to hide, Johnny.
I don't have second sight,
but my first sight's pretty solid.
I could see inside of five minutes Sarah
Bannerman spread for you not long ago.
- You son of a ***!
- Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Hey, easy.
You're secret's safe
with me, partner.
(muffled cries)
(gasps)
Stand down!
Stand down!
You okay?
Man:
Who was that?
(women crying)
Shoot them!
Kill them all!
Elliman:
Too much to drink?
- What do you want?
- We didn't get a chance to chat inside.
- I said, what do you want?
- I want you off my radar.
I know my boss is having
fun playing games with you,
but sometimes he has too much fun
playing too many games.
Maybe you should have
that conversation with your boss.
I wanted to work it out
between you and me.
No games.
Do not stand
against Greg Stillson,
or anywhere near him,
or your family will suffer.
I was hoping you'd do that.
Stillson: Sorry about calling you
out like that at the debate.
I certainly
meant no disrespect.
Greg, one of my sayings is that I know
which way the tree is going to fall,
and it seems pretty clear
that Fisher is going to be under it.
But I think you got a damn
good chance at this office.
And I don't mind helping you out
with a little boost to get you there.
- A little boost?
- Yeah.
Say in the neighborhood
of $6 million.
And if you look out
for me on Capitol Hill,
you call me anything
you want in public.
Aaron, one of the main
platforms I run on
is campaign finance reform,
so we're gonna have to keep this
between you and me.
Mr.
Fisher!
Mr.
Fisher.
They told me you were here.
I found something out.
- Something big.
- Have you?
Aaron Harper cut a backdoor deal
with Stillson.
He's giving his campaign
six million bucks.
I don't know how
Stillson's gonna hide it.
- I know.
- You know?
I know that you know, John.
That operation was
code named Hondo.
Captain Aulbach named all
our operations after old Westerns.
The objective was to take down
this Viet Cong outfit
that was hiding weapons
along the Mekong river.
Turns out
there were no weapons.
No soldiers.
But you already knew that.
I saw the look in your eyes
the first time we shook hands.
You looked sick
and drained.
Tired.
And I recognized that look,
I just didn't know from where.
And then it came to me.
It's the same one I see
in the mirror every morning.
I saw what happened.
It wasn't your fault, sir.
- Mulvert opened fire
- Mulvert opened fire.
He couldn't see it was
a C-rat can.
It was dark
those excuses are
what's kept me going.
Maybe if you told the Navy
they would have understood
Instead, we told them a lie!
We told them a lie!
And then that's what all
those excuses became.
And every time I try to remember them,
all I can see is this
one face.
The little boy.
You're the first person I've talked to
about any of this outside the unit.
My wife still thinks
that I deserve that Bronze Star.
My own son
is in harm's way right now,
because he had to follow
in his father's heroic footsteps.
(laughs, pants)
I've been living with this lie for so
long, it feels like it's a part of me.
Like it's an extra arm
that nobody can see, but I can feel
and I am tired of it!
I'm tired of it!
(softly)
I'm tired
Let's talk about this.
I know you want
to keep it secret, John.
If you didn't, you'd have already
gone to the press with it.
If this gets to the press
your campaign's over.
Your political career's over.
Collateral damage.
Casualties of war.
The casualties we'll suffer
if Stillson wins the election
- are 100 times worse.
- How do you know?
Trust me, sir.
I know what your hell looks like,
and I'm willing to stay there
for as long as it takes
to bring Stillson down.
Stillson: The truth is,
Harrison Fisher has lost sight
of what's truly important
the people.
Big business is all it's about and all
it's ever been about for 15 years.
We need to introduce policy
that's going to protect
Maine's most endangered species,
the middle class.
You claim to stand against
corrupt corporate influence,
against serving special interests
Business has no business
in government.
They don't control us
and we certainly don't control
So then you would never
accept campaign support
from one of the state's
largest corporations
for a sum like $10 million?
My contributions cap
is $2,500.
That's a little rich for my blood,
so I'm sorry, no.
How about $6 million?
- Can I bid a dollar, Bob?
- (audience laughs)
So then, you would say,
in good faith,
that you would never
accept a campaign contribution
for a sum of $6 million
from a big company like
Culp & Belling,
or ProTEK, or
Harper Lumber?
Absolutely not.
I'll be holding you to that,
and the people
will be holding you to that.
I will be watching you
from the sidelines,
which you may discover
affords a much clearer view.
Teddy, I would like to announce
that I am withdrawing
from the congressional race
tonight.
My
my decision to withdraw
is not based on any change
in my commitment
or dedication to the office.
It is instead
deeply personal, painful,
and something that I need
to tell you all about
because you deserve to know.
For the past 32 years
I have been living a lie.
The Bronze Star I received
in Vietnam was not
awarded appropriately.
The true story
of what happened then
has been sent by me to the media
and you'll all get a chance
to read about it
tomorrow morning.
All I wish to say tonight
is that I'm sorry for
deceiving you for so long
as to who I am.
Because my past
is a part of me.
And I have found that
to deny who you are
is much more painful
than to confront
what you hate about yourself.
It takes courage to face yourself,
but I was too weak to admit
how weak I was.
Guilt drove me to silence
and guilt forced me
to the truth.
It is something
that we should embrace
because it is the only weapon
our morality has
to wield against us
when we forget ourselves.
Thank you.
Good night.
I just want to thank you for doing
what I consider to be the right thing.
I knew you would.
Although when he said
that crap about Harper Lumber
I wanted to rip your throat out.
How did you find out about that?
Did you touch Harper at the party?
You can thank
your lap-dog Sonny for that.
- All it takes is one touch.
- Sonny.
That boy's heart
is in the right place.
He just
he really needs to learn
a little bit of finesse.
That's pretty forgiving for someone
who cost you $6 million.
No way you could hide
that money now, right?
This is true, and that does hurt,
but I choose to look at it this way.
It is a very, very small price to pay
for the House seat.
So I think it evened out in the end.
Wouldn't you agree?
No.
What makes you think
this is the end?
I like you, Johnny.
Now, I see why
Purdy's so high on you,
'cause you see the truth.
It's as simple as that.
You know, I see the truth, too
inside me.
And I know I'm right.
It's a powerful feeling
to know you're right.
I mean, lots of people think it,
but you and I, we know it.
- Do you know what you want?
- If we go toe to toe
I know how that ends,
and I don't find it that interesting.
But if we go side by side,
If we join forces
I have no idea where that goes,
but I gotta tell ya,
it makes me curious.
What are you thinking?
I don't think you'll find it
that interesting.
You keep this paper.
(theme music playing)
- No no!
- Yes yes!
You're grounded!
