Gary Webb, San Jose Mercury News.

Do you believe in conspiracy theories, Gary?

No, __________1__________.

Conspiracies, yes. If I believe it, there is nothing theory about it. 

Was the government aware that ___________2__________ into the US?

Yes. The government knew.

This leads to very sensitive national security matters.

National security and crack cocaine in the same sentence. Does that not sound strange to you? 

I'm gonna tell you the whole truth. I'm willing to introduce you to people you should talk to. And then you will be faced with the most important decision of your life.

Oh yeah? What's that?

Deciding whether to share it or not.

One of the DEA's most wanted brought in thousands of kilos of cocaine to the US every day. For them. 

For who?

The US government. Or with them, or at least while they were looking the other way.

Jesus.

LA, New York, Atlanta, I couldn't sell it fast enough to _____3______.

Fancy information you have there. Dangerous.

What you found here, Gary, is a monster.

You have no idea what you're getting into.

Are you really telling me that I should just walk away from this?

You'd be an idiot not to.

This story scares people. 

Well, it should.

Be careful.

There are ongoing operations you're in danger of exposing.

We know you were in Nicaragua. 

Am I being followed?

I thought my job was to tell the public the truth, the facts, pretty or not, and let the publishing of those facts make a difference in how people look at things, at themselves, at what they stand for.

We'd never threaten your children, Mr Webb.

What'd you say?

It's over. 

I'm not finished with it! I'm not finished! This is a true story.

Some stories are just too true to tell.
