All the President's Men Scene 14 Summary

  • Woodward and Bernstein start calling up people on the list.
  • One woman says the attorney general John Mitchell was there one night, supervising the shredding of documents.
  • Woodward still thinks they don't have enough facts to continue. If only they could unshred the documents…but they don't have that much scotch tape.
  • They go back to question the woman.
  • She says, "Please go away before they see you."
  • They? Who's they?
  • She starts to cry. Way to go, guys.
  • Bernstein thinks this is evidence of a cover-up, but Woodward wants more hard evidence.
  • Cue door-slamming montage showing us the gathering of evidence is not going well.
