Episodes
1. Break-In
This episode looks at the break-in at the Democrats' headquarters in the Watergate Hotel on the night of 17 June 1972.
2. Cover-Up
Nixon's burglars are caught and the president himself is at the head of a cover-up that links the crime to the White House. In November 1972, five months after the break-in, Nixon is returned to office.
3. Scapegoat
President Richard Nixon had the Watergate burglars paid to keep silent about their links to the White House, a cover-up that enabled him to win a second presidential term in 1972. But once the facts began to emerge, the president sought a succession of scapegoats. The revelation that conversations in his office had been recorded meant his crimes were no longer a secret.
