We Know [Hungarian translation]

[HAMILTON]

Mr. Vice President

Mr. Madison

Senator Burr

What is this?

[JEFFERSON]

We have the check stubs. From separate accounts…

[MADISON]

Almost a thousand dollars, paid in different amounts…

[BURR]

To a Mr. James Reynolds way back in

Seventeen ninety-one

[HAMILTON]

Is that what you have? Are you done?

[MADISON]

You are uniquely situated by virtue of your position—

[JEFFERSON]

Though ‘virtue’ is not a word I’d apply to this situation—

[MADISON]

To seek financial gain, to stray from your sacred mission—

[JEFFERSON]

And the evidence suggests you’ve engaged in speculation—

[BURR]

An immigrant embezzling our government funds—

[JEFFERSON/MADISON]

I can almost see the headline, your career is done

[BURR]

I hope you saved some money for your daughter and sons

[BURR/JEFFERSON/MADISON]

Ya best g'wan run back where ya come from!

[HAMILTON]

Ha! You don’t even know what you’re asking me to confess

[JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR]

Confess

[HAMILTON]

You got nothing. I don’t have to tell you anything at all

Unless

[JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR]

Unless

[HAMILTON]

If I can prove that I never broke the law

Do you promise not to tell another soul what you saw?

[BURR]

No one else was in the room where it happened

[HAMILTON]

Is that a yes?

[JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR]

Um, yes

[BURR]

“Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health

And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth

In the pockets of people like me: down on their luck

You see, that was my wife who you decided to—”

[JEFFERSON]

Whaaaat—

[HAMILTON]

She courted me

Escorted me to bed and when she had me in a corner

That’s when Reynolds extorted me

For a sordid fee

I paid him quarterly

I may have mortally wounded my prospects

But my papers are orderly!

As you can see I kept a record of every check in my checkered

History. Check it again against your list n’ see consistency

I never spent a cent that wasn’t mine

You sent the dogs after my scent, that’s fine

Yes, I have reasons for shame

But I have not committed treason and sullied my good name

As you can see I have done nothing to provoke legal action

Are my answers to your satisfaction?

[JEFFERSON]

My God

[MADISON]

Gentlemen, let’s go

[HAMILTON]

So?

[JEFFERSON AND MADISON]

The people won't know what we know

[HAMILTON]

Burr!

How do I know you won’t use this against me

The next time we go toe to toe?

[BURR]

Alexander, rumors only grow. And we both

Know what we know
