Nick continues walking Julian through the Franklin Scandal, and this segment goes to some of the darkest and least-covered corners of the case. He lays out who Lawrence King and Craig Spence were, and why Spence, a well-connected DC lobbyist, has long been suspected of being a CIA asset, a claim that only deepens the questions around how he died. From there, Nick tells the story of Alisha Owens, one of the case's central witnesses, and the deeply troubling outcome where she ended up indicted rather than the people she accused.

The conversation then moves to Boystown in Omaha and the alleged CIA connection to what was happening there, a thread Nick has spent years trying to piece together. He details a confession from a figure known as Ru that Nick says helped unravel part of the cover-up, and connects it directly to the fall of former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, whose own history of abuse took decades to catch up with him. Nick closes the segment with the Confessions of a DC Madam, tying the Beltway prostitution scandal back into the same web of names and power that's run through the entire conversation.

This is dense, difficult material, real court records, real names, and a pattern Nick argues has been documented for decades but rarely connected out loud. Listen with that in mind.
