It's Godbolt.

I know who he is. It's what he's saying I find so damned interesting.

SECOND CLERGYMAN
|
[V.O. ON TV] Isn't an accident the result of divine providence, a mistake the result of human error?
|
|
|

|
GOLDBOLT
|
[V.O. ON TV] Yes, but my friend prefers to think that some malevolent force took a hand in his daughter's death, whereas in reality, it was simply a mistake.

GOLDBOLT
|
[V.O. ON TV] But you can't explain that to someone who's overcome with grief.

|
GOLDBOLT
|
You have to escalate the rhetoric the way you two do, and talk about God and faith and destiny.

So men make mistakes...

Oh, yes.

GOLDBOLT
|
In your terms, God, in mine, history. As far as history is concerned, history cannot make mistakes.

What the hell was that all about?

CRAVEN
|
I don't know.
|

|
JEDBURGH
|
That man had an irresistible urge to tell 5 million people that your daughter was murdered by mistake.

JEDBURGH
|
[O.S.] The man's trying to tell you something, Craven.

Unfortunately, you weren't here so you missed it.
