Boardwalk Empire, Season 4

J. Edgar Hoover:
You seem to be a clever fellow. Who do you think gets to decide what the truth is?

Valentin Narcisse:
Truth is what those in power wish it to be.

J. Edgar Hoover:
During the course of investigating the seditious activities of Marcus Garvey, James M. Tolliver, Special Agent with the Bureau of Investigation, was murdered in Atlantic City, New Jersey by an unidentified colored male. Dr. Valentin Narcisse assisted the Bureau in apprehending the suspect. He further agreed, during a private conversation with Director Hoover, to provide ongoing, secret intelligence regarding Mr. Garvey, with particular concern to his radical agenda and his ties to foreign powers.

Valentin Narcisse:
And why would he do that?

J. Edgar Hoover:
To demonstrate his commitment to the values of his adopted land.

Valentin Narcisse:
Brother Garvey is a hero, dedicated to liberation of a great people.

J. Edgar Hoover:
But you are not. You are just a peddler and a pimp sitting in a jail cell.

Valentin Narcisse:
I am a businessman and a follower of Christ.

J. Edgar Hoover:
You agree to cooperate, you can go on pretending to be anything you want. You don't, and I will make sure you never see daylight in America again.

Valentin Narcisse:
[to himself] Sufficient unto the days the evil thereof...

J. Edgar Hoover:
I cannot hear you.

Valentin Narcisse:
I said yes.

J. Edgar Hoover:
Yes, what?

Valentin Narcisse:
Yes... sir.
