Watergate: Blueprint for a Scandal - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
The Break-In
Fifty years ago, the break-in at the Watergate began a chain reaction that started with a cover-up and ended with the resignation of President Nixon. John Dean, former counsel to the President, gives color to the narrative that this wasn't a two-bit bungled endeavor; instead, it was one of many operations orchestrated by Nixon's people. We reveal the real story behind the beginning of the cover-up and Dean being pulled onto center stage.
The Coverup Continues
Dean is pulled deeper into the cover-up until it becomes too much to bear, and he realizes that he must convince Nixon to end it. He decides to take Nixon through problems that can only be solved by the truth. Events follow quickly as Dean's superiors plan to make him the scapegoat for their actions. But they have selected the wrong person, for as Bob Woodward later described it: Dean was willing to blow himself up to end the coverup. Dean doesn't flip, instead, he simply tells the truth, which Nixon later described in his memoir as information from which they could never recover.
The Whistleblower
As the Nixon Administration sinks deeper into the Watergate scandal, Dean plays a multi-dimensional chess game to appease the White House, Watergate investigators, and a new wife. The heart-pumping back and forth reveals the importance of Dean's April 15 conversation with Nixon, and the eventual unraveling of the cover-up and the resignations, culminating with Dean's infamous testimony in front of the Senate, and the world.
The Downfall
With the bombshell revelation of Nixon's White House tape recording system, a battle begins for the tapes that will eventually lead to the collapse of the Nixon presidency. Was that the end of Watergate, or are we still seeing the same abuses of power in politics today?
