Gaslit (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Year of the Rat - full transcript
Look,
let's just both take a breath.
My mama slaps me harder
than that.
True immortality rests
in a pure and mighty will...
♪ ♪
For history isn't written
by the feeble masses.
It is written and rewritten
by soldiers
carrying the banner of kings.
There she is, machos.
Our destiny.
That is what it means
to be strong.
I want you to know
that I fired those bastards.
They had no right roughing
you up the way they did.
You are the first person
that I am aware of
to publicly accuse
the president
of responsibility
for the Watergate break-in.
Pretty sure
I won't be the last.
How do you feel about your wife
potentially speaking
to the Senate?
Well, I support Martha
in whatever she decides to do.
I'm testifying on Monday.
They said
the judge was sending you
to a bad prison
for a long time.
When I was a boy,
my only friend was my nanny,
Frau Teresa.
She told me the story of a boy
who, from the power
of his own will,
became the leader
of her Fatherland.
She made me realize that I,
too, could choose to be strong.
This will be
Father's trial by fire.
I'm at the center
of this thing.
I mean, that guy...
Well, what if you're the guy
who saw an injustice
and decided to do something
about it?
Mr. Dean, Mr. Dean,
how do you feel?
Everyone seems to think
you did pretty darn good.
I hear Martha is on deck
for Thursday.
The problem
with loving something too much
is that you can't do
what needs to be done.
I trust you'll do
what needs to be done.

Well, let's see.
I don't, uh, know
where I end up on this thing.
According to this, I was born
in the Year of the Rat.
Says I'm bright, patient,
and inspiring to others.
Somebody's been reading
your mail.
Fuck off.
It also says
I can be happy on my own
or make an outstanding partner.
I'll be sure
to inform your wife.
Yeah, good idea.
What's going on
with these girls?
I thought they were supposed
to be here at 7:00.
John, you're not screening them
for the secretarial pool.
As long as they know
their way around an inseam...
I don't think they heard you
in the kitchen.
Who gives a shit?
Nobody speaky
the Engrish around here.
You're a terrible man.
I've learned it all from you.
But before they do come in,
there's something you should
probably know about your girl.
I-I...
Don't tell me she's a cryer.
I can't deal
with another cryer.
No, nothing like that.
But she's married.
Married?
- Not happily.
- Oh, Christ.
As though I-I don't have
enough stress in my life.
So she's married.
You've been with married girls
before, and this...
this broad's got a rack
like Claudia Cardinale.
You're gonna love her.
Trust me.
She's a real alley cat, boy.
Yeah, I should go.
No, why?
Because these girls
are 20 minutes late,
and the only marriage I
can stand getting in the way of
right now is my own.
Come on, don't be like this,
John.
Look. Hey, speak of the devil.
Ladies,
we've been waiting for you.
Sorry. It was bumper-to-bumper
all the way to Columbus Circle.
Hey, John,
this is Peggy Quinn.
- Pleasure.
- And, uh,
I'm sorry, darling.
What's your name again?
- Martha Jennings.
- Martha Jennings.
John Mitchell,
meet Martha Jennings.
I'm-I'm John.
I heard.
Are you going somewhere?
Uh, no, I was, uh...
Looking for the coatroom.
Yes, could you take this?
Thank you.
Could you point me
toward the restroom?
No, no, no. I'll walk you.
It's right up here.
Okay, great. Thank you.
Would you?
Oh, sure. Sorry.
Thank you.
Sir?
Yes, thank you. Uh, may I?

Where is everybody?
Your lawyer opted
for a closed-door session,
Mrs. Mitchell.
No press. Take a seat.
Now, we've got
a long day ahead of us,
so let's get to it.
I understand, uh, you have
an opening statement prepared.
Yes, Sam. Thank you.
Mr. Chairman, before we begin,
I would just like to register
the minority's skepticism
regarding the relevance
of Mrs. Mitchell's testimony.
It's still unclear to me
what official role
she held
within the administration.
Senator Gurney,
as Mrs. Mitchell's counsel
stipulated,
she maintained an official
public relations role
within
the Committee to Re-Elect.
Mm-hmm.
Doing what,
appearing on game shows?
Ed, that's...
Now just hold on a second.
I was employed in the campaign
at the direct request
of the president.
Oh, and I'm sure
we're all very appreciative
of your tireless dedication
to your own celebrity...
Pardon me?
...but I'm still unsure
what any of that has to do
with the matters that uh, we are
examining in this committee.
Honestly, Ed,
this is beneath you.
SenatorGurney will suffice.
Not according to your wife.
- Mr. Chairman.
- Order.
With all due respect,
there are significant facts
that this witness
has failed to disclose.
I would like to submit
this official report
from Bellevue Hospital.
So submitted.
It indicates that
Mrs. Mitchell
was institutionalized
after the birth
of her daughter,
January of 1961.
It was given to me
by a close, personal source.
♪ ♪
Your father suffered
from acute mental illness,
just like you.
Isn't that so?
I do not suffer
from acute mental illness.
♪ ♪
In interviews,
you have stated
that your father
died in a car accident,
but that isn't true, is it?
In fact, he, uh...
he was
a drunken, degenerate gambler,
a fanaticist prone
to paranoia, delusion,
and, ultimately, suicide.
What's your point, Ed?
Isn't it possible
that your instability
could perhaps have been
passed down from your father?
Could it be that... that
that's why you see conspiracies
and plots where...
where none, in fact, exist?
♪ ♪
But if there is an issue
with her mental stability...
There are no issues.
Then why risk your marriage?
Why risk
your husband's position?
♪ ♪
♪ ♪
Mrs. Mitchell, why risk the
happiness of your own daughter?
Because it's the truth.
♪ ♪
It is the truth.
And what about your husband?
Does he share your
understanding of the truth?
♪ ♪
The fuck are you doing?
What are you doing?
You told them everything.
Told who what?
What are you talking about?
You know exactly
what I'm talking about.
You set me up.
You gave them the knife,
and you told them exactly
where to stick it!
Sweetheart,
I only wanted to keep you
on the right side
of this whole goddamn thing.
You're the one
who wanted to testify.
Oh, my God,
you're driving me crazy!
You make me feel
like I am losing my mind!
What's going on?
Go back to your room, honey.
- But...
- Now!
Oh, cleaning up
after Martha again.
I'm grown so used to it.
Big John Mitchell,
lord of the manor,
living in devoted service
to a man who won't even return
his phone calls.
Okay. Just... you're just drunk.
It's enough. Another drunk.
Martha's on another...
Blow it out your ass, Mitchell!
- Yeah.
- Huh?
Yeah.
I've been watching you for
months just sitting around here
staring at the phone
like some teenage girl
waiting for a call from the boy
with the magic fingers.
When are you gonna get it
through
your thick fucking skull
that nobody
on the whole fucking planet
gives a goddamn what you think?
Plenty of people care
what I think.
Barbara Walters wants me
on The Today Show
to tell my story.
Huh? My story!
They're just looking
for a fucking sideshow!
And that's you, lady!
Do you know why Dick
hasn't called you back?
Why he hasn't made any effort
at all to contact you?
Oh, fuck off!
Because he doesn't give a shit.
He never gave a shit
about you ever!
You think you're so much better
than the rest of them, right?
Don't you?
Dean, Magruder, Haldeman.
Oh, they're just in it
for the money or ambition,
but you're the only one
dumb enough to think
you actually matter to Dick,
that he valued your friendship.
Hey, Martha, I am warning you...
You have ruined everything
in your life, in my life!
Your reputation, your marriage,
and for what?
For what?
I can't stand the sound
of your voice!
Well, that makes two of us!
- I can't stand to look at you!
- I can't stand you!
- I can't stand your face!
- Get fucking off of me!
I love you, Martha,
'cause you're America's clown,
and you're a pig.
And all your moaning
and bitching
and your morning drinking
and your day drinking
and your night drinking,
and your own daughter
has to fish you out of the tub
'cause you're too stoned
on pills and booze to stand.
Whose idea were the pills?
- To stand!
- Who?
I thought it would help you!
I didn't know you were gonna
eat them like M&M's!
It's the only way I can sleep
in my bed
when it smells
like your whores.
Oh, you fucking bitch.
I should have had them
go harder on you in California.
- What did you just say?
- Yeah, you heard me.
Even you can't be
so fucking dense
as to think that this was just
an overzealous bodyguard.
You're a cheap joke, Martha.
And every fucking word
that comes out of your mouth
humiliates you
and humiliates me.
Is it...
- See, no...
- No.
- No, no, no.
- No.
I'm leaving you,
and I'm taking Marty with me.
I'm not going to let her
watch you melt the fuck down.
No.
No. No, you will not.
You can't take her.
You can't... wait.
Mitchell,
you will not take my daughter.
You... I know what you've done.
I'll tell everyone.
You and Dick, both of you,
worse than the break-in
at Watergate.
Worse than anyone knows.
And who the hell is gonna
believe you, Martha,
after all this?
Who's gonna believe
little Martha?
I'm just realizing this is my
favorite new position with you.
What's that, Martha?
You're gonna have to speak up,
'cause for once,
I can't hear you.
Go back to your room, honey.
Oh, I love this.
This is great.
How groovy.
Yeah, maybe we could do
a little uh, shaken not
stirred.
That's great.
Hey, sweetheart,
can you fix his hair?
Right on.
Just one thing more.
I'm the first married woman
in Playboy.
Nice.
Great. Uh, could you put
your arm around her?
Yeah.
Gotta say, Mr. Dean,
for a man who just went through
a nationally televised
gauntlet,
you seem to be
in incredible spirits.
Oh. Well, thank you.
I, uh... I didn't go
through it alone, so...
Why did you decide to come out
and speak at all?
I mean, wouldn't it have been
easier if you'd kept quiet?
Well, sure.
Um, I guess you could
say I, uh, I saw an injustice,
and I decided to say
something about it.
Simple as that.
And, uh, how have you held up
throughout this experience,
Mrs. Dean?
I imagine it's been
uh, difficult.
On the contrary, uh,
I think when you strip
everything away from someone,
you know,
all the power and prestige,
that's when you really
get a glimpse
of who they truly are inside.
John and I have gotten to know
each other more completely
than we would have if
Watergate had never happened.
And that's, um... that's a gift.
You'll have to be sure
and send a thank-you card
to the president.
Right.
Straight up his ass.
Don't... don't print that.
Would you um,
would you excuse me?
Please don't print that.
Um...
Oh, Charlie. Come on in.
Hey, everybody, this is
Charlie Shaffer, my lawyer.
This is, uh, Anthony
and uh, Joaquin from Playboy.
I'm trying to convince them
to give us the centerfold.
John, do you mind if I talk
to you in private?
It's, uh, urgent.
Oh, sure. Uh, excuse us.
Just through here.
You want a ice water
or a Prosecco?
We're doing mimosas.
No, thanks.
Hey, look, uh,
I know you said keep
the interviews to a minimum,
but, you know, it's Playboy.
And, uh, they said
they might even publish
one of Mo's short stories,
so cheers.
Yeah, I'm-I'm not, uh,
here about that.
Um, John, do you wanna, uh,
maybe sit down
in the other room?
No, I'm fine. What's going on?
I got word on
Sirica's preliminary ruling
on your case.
He's recommending
a sentence of five years.
W-what? I testified.
I was the first to flip.
I... I cooperated.
He took that into account.
A reduced sentence
was never part of the deal.
Then what the hell
did I go through all of this
for then, huh?
Ostensibly, because
you wanted to do what was
best for the country.
Oh, fuck that.
John, the good news
is that you can still
appeal for leniency
if you cooperate further.
The special prosecutor's going
after Haldeman and Ehrlichman
and... and then Mitchell.
No, no, no way.
I am not ratting
on anybody else.
John, I hear you.
That was not part of the deal,
Charlie.
They can't ask me to do that.
They are not asking you
to do anything, John.
You obstructed justice.
You broke the law.
Oh, fuck that, Charlie.
People break the law
all the time.
What, you think Kennedy's boys
didn't color outside the line?
Or Johnson's or Roosevelt's?
They all lied.
They all cheated.
And not a single one of them
would hesitate to do it again
if it suited their needs.
- Maybe.
- No, definitely, Charlie.
Definitely.
So how do they get
to walk away scot-free,
and I'm the one
who spends five years
testifying against my friends,
sleeping in a cell?
Fuck.
Oh, God.
You're not wrong, John.
Thing is, those guys...
they didn't get caught.
You did.

As Congress begins
its historic
impeachment inquiry,
I take a moment
to sit with the woman
who claims to know more
about the inner workings
of Watergate than anyone else.
The indomitable,
the formidable,
the complicated
Martha Mitchell.
She joins us to set the record
straight right after this.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Mitchell,
but you're wanted on stage.
Thank you.
All right.
We'll see you in a minute.
It's a throbbing of my heart
to the beat of the wing!
It's me and Carol riding off
into the sunset!
Welcome back to The Today Show.
Last Monday night, I received
a telephone call from someone
I had not heard from in quite
some time, Martha Mitchell.
For the past two months,
Mrs. Mitchell
has been living alone
in a luxurious
Washington apartment
her husband used
to call the Taj Mahal.
Her husband, John Mitchell,
left her after
a 16-year marriage.
He now lives
in a Georgetown hotel.
Some say that
in a matter of weeks,
Mr. Mitchell is expected
to be indicted
by a grand jury for conspiracy,
obstruction of justice,
and perjury in connection
with the Watergate break-in.
Mrs. Mitchell told me
that she would like to clear up
some matters which have
been reported inaccurately.
We asked her to appear
on this program.
She gave us her word that
she would, and now she's here.
Good morning, Barbara.
How are you?
I'm fine.
I'm sorry I cannot welcome you
to the Taj Mahal.
Well, we welcome you here.
It's a lonely place,
but it's awfully pretty.
You have said,
and you said to me last week,
that President Nixon
is asking his subordinates
to take the blame for things
of which he is guilty.
What do you know, Martha?
Well, Barbara, you can't say
that I-I know anything,
and I would tell this to
the Senate Watergate Committee
if they ever asked
to see me again,
is that I am now so confused
by what I have read,
what I've heard,
what I've seen,
that I-I-I-I couldn't
possibly be a good witness,
not in the slightest.
Do you think the President
should be impeached, Martha?
I have no idea whether the
President should be impeached.
I can't answer that.
I'm not sitting in...
Let's move on.
Let-let me ask you some
questions
- about you.
- Oh, Martha.
Let's talk about Martha.
Great.
I started out by asking you,
why after 16 years?
Why after a marriage
that looked awfully good
to an awful lot of people?
- It was. It was great.
- Why-
It was the greatest thing
in the world.
You think perhaps somebody's
forced him to leave you?
I think very definitely,
because a man
doesn't tell you two weeks
before he walks out and causes
a conspiracy on his wife
that it's legitimate,
put it that way.
Why do you think they did this,
Martha?
Whoever they are?
Well, I don't... I don't know.
That would be, uh,
hard for me to say.
I...
Again, I just need
to get myself
back to a train of thought
where I'm not so emotionally
involved, you see?
I need to do a doctorme...
documentary on the whole thing
to analyze it.
Yes.
When you called me
the other day,
you said something to me.
Very frankly, you said,
"Barbara, a lot of people
say that-that I drink,
that I am an alcoholic..."
Why are you watching this?
"And that's why
I say a lot of things."
- It's depressing.
- Let me interrupt you.
Do you drink, Martha?
Do you drink when you
make those phone calls?
When I...
when I make phone crawls?
Phone calls?
What I think has happened,
Barbara,
is that the...
the media has kinda
built me
into this sort of character,
and a lot of people
don't even know me.
Martha, we have
three minutes left.
Is that all?
I know you have a lot of fans
watching, Martha.
What would you most want them
to know about things now?
I think just that
the trying things
that have been imposed on me...
no one in this country realizes
or understands
that I... I'm working very hard.
I'm not just sitting
in an apartment lonely.
I'm doing a great deal
of research on this book,
and you've done a book.
You know how much work
it takes.
And... and I have other offers
and all kinds of various
and sundry things
and other things
to keep me busy.
I'm not just sitting lonely.
I ha-I have my bad days.
I have days
when I'm terribly blue,
but other days when...
when I-I-I can get ahold of
myself and-and go ahead.
So just that's all that.
And uh, and also, I-I want to
say to all the people
who have always
corresponded with me
that my mail
hasn't been coming through.
Well, we've laughed together,
we've been
on programs together,
and I want to just say now
that I think
for a great many people
that you have, at this point,
our compassion.
We look forward to your book.
We know it's been
a hard time for you,
and I thank you for being here
and for expressing yourself.
Thank you, Barbara.
We'll be right back
after this message.
And we're out.
That was wonderful.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And you look beautiful, and I
really hope I see you again,
and I'm thinking about you
and your family.
- Take good care.
- Okay.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.
She can kiss
that book deal goodbye.

"Dearest Frances,
I'm not sure

Mr. Chairman, before we begin,
I would just like to register
the minority's skepticism
regarding the relevance
of Mrs. Mitchell's testimony.
It's still unclear to me
what official role
she held
within the administration.
Senator Gurney,
as Mrs. Mitchell's counsel
stipulated,
she maintained an official
public relations role
within
the Committee to Re-Elect.
Mm-hmm.
Doing what,
appearing on game shows?
Ed, that's...
Now just hold on a second.
I was employed in the campaign
at the direct request
of the president.
Oh, and I'm sure
we're all very appreciative
of your tireless dedication
to your own celebrity...
Pardon me?
...but I'm still unsure
what any of that has to do
with the matters that uh, we are
examining in this committee.
Honestly, Ed,
this is beneath you.
SenatorGurney will suffice.
Not according to your wife.

- Order.
With all due respect,
there are significant facts
that this witness
has failed to disclose.
I would like to submit
this official report

Mrs. Mitchell

Her husband, John Mitchell,
left her after
a 16-year marriage.
He now lives
in a Georgetown hotel.
Some say that
in a matter of weeks,
Mr. Mitchell is expected
to be indicted
by a grand jury for conspiracy,
obstruction of justice,
and perjury in connection
with the Watergate break-in.

that she would like to clear up
some matters which have
been reported inaccurately.
We asked her to appear
on this program.
She gave us her word that
she would, and now she's here.
Good morning, Barbara.
How are you?
I'm fine.
I'm sorry I cannot welcome you
to the Taj Mahal.
Well, we welcome you here.
It's a lonely place,
but it's awfully pretty.
You have said,
and you said to me last week,
that President Nixon
is asking his subordinates
to take the blame for things
of which he is guilty.
What do you know, Martha?
Well, Barbara, you can't say
that I-I know anything,
and I would tell this to
the Senate Watergate Committee
if they ever asked
to see me again,
is that I am now so confused
by what I have read,
what I've heard,
what I've seen,
that I-I-I-I couldn't
possibly be a good witness,
not in the slightest.
Do you think the President
should be impeached, Martha?
I have no idea whether the
President should be impeached.
I can't answer that.
I'm not sitting in...
Let's move on.
Let-let me ask you some
questions
- about you.
- Oh, Martha.
Let's talk about Martha.
Great.
I started out by asking you,
why after 16 years?
Why after a marriage
that looked awfully good
to an awful lot of people?
- It was. It was great.
- Why-
It was the greatest thing
in the world.
You think perhaps somebody's
forced him to leave you?
I think very definitely,
because a man
doesn't tell you two weeks
before he walks out and causes
a conspiracy on his wife
that it's legitimate,
put it that way.
Why do you think they did this,
Martha?
Whoever they are?
Well, I don't... I don't know.
That would be, uh,
hard for me to say.
I...
Again, I just need
to get myself
back to a train of thought
where I'm not so emotionally
involved, you see?
I need to do a doctorme...
documentary on the whole thing
to analyze it.
Yes.
When you called me
the other day,
you said something to me.
Very frankly, you said,
"Barbara, a lot of people
say that-that I drink,
that I am an alcoholic..."
Why are you watching this?
"And that's why
I say a lot of things."
- It's depressing.
- Let me interrupt you.
Do you drink, Martha?
Do you drink when you
make those phone calls?
When I...
when I make phone crawls?
Phone calls?
What I think has happened,
Barbara,
is that the...
the media has kinda
built me
into this sort of character,
and a lot of people
don't even know me.
Martha, we have
three minutes left.
Is that all?
I know you have a lot of fans
watching, Martha.
What would you most want them
to know about things now?
I think just that
the trying things
that have been imposed on me...
no one in this country realizes
or understands
that I... I'm working very hard.
I'm not just sitting
in an apartment lonely.
I'm doing a great deal
of research on this book,
and you've done a book.
You know how much work
it takes.
And... and I have other offers
and all kinds of various
and sundry things
and other things
to keep me busy.
I'm not just sitting lonely.
I ha-I have my bad days.
I have days
when I'm terribly blue,
but other days when...
when I-I-I can get ahold of
myself and-and go ahead.
So just that's all that.
And uh, and also, I-I want to
say to all the people
who have always
corresponded with me
that my mail
hasn't been coming through.
Well, we've laughed together,
we've been
on programs together,
and I want to just say now
that I think
for a great many people
that you have, at this point,
our compassion.
We look forward to your book.
We know it's been
a hard time for you,
and I thank you for being here
and for expressing yourself.
Thank you, Barbara.
We'll be right back
after this message.
And we're out.
That was wonderful.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And you look beautiful, and I
really hope I see you again,
and I'm thinking about you
and your family.
- Take good care.
- Okay.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.
She can kiss
that book deal goodbye.
