1
00:00:01,084 --> 00:00:04,086
I have an easy fall guy
when all this goes to shit.
2
00:00:04,546 --> 00:00:05,923
Oh, we're talking about me, right?
3
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:07,341
[beeping]
4
00:00:07,966 --> 00:00:09,635
- Chip. Mitch is here.
- [mutters]
5
00:00:09,718 --> 00:00:10,904
[Mitch] This is scary. I get it.
6
00:00:10,928 --> 00:00:14,515
Saying things that are unpopular about
people that are unpopular in the moment.
7
00:00:14,598 --> 00:00:16,058
But this is my fucking life!
8
00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:17,410
[Bradley] Who else knew what was going on?
9
00:00:17,434 --> 00:00:18,519
Who do you think?
10
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:20,812
I want a divorce.
11
00:00:20,896 --> 00:00:22,773
Well, no.
12
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:26,401
Jason, I'm sorry I did that.
I'm sorry I left you at the party alo...
13
00:00:26,485 --> 00:00:28,028
Breathe. Just breathe.
14
00:00:28,111 --> 00:00:30,089
[Bradley] Look, life is messy.
Everybody's life is messy.
15
00:00:30,113 --> 00:00:32,783
And I want you to know
that you can trust me.
16
00:00:32,866 --> 00:00:34,868
You can tell me things,
you can be vulnerable.
17
00:00:34,952 --> 00:00:36,036
It's okay.
18
00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:37,119
Okay.
19
00:00:37,162 --> 00:00:38,580
I am sure it has crossed your mind.
20
00:00:38,664 --> 00:00:40,832
Fred's left holding the bag
and you're kicking ass,
21
00:00:40,916 --> 00:00:44,545
then you could quickly
find yourself in Fred's seat.
22
00:00:44,628 --> 00:00:48,841
I don't see Fred getting taken out unless
something specific comes out on him.
23
00:00:48,924 --> 00:00:51,051
- Like what?
- I don't know, Chip. Like what?
24
00:00:51,134 --> 00:00:53,613
You're not impartial on this subject.
You knew what Mitch was doing.
25
00:00:53,637 --> 00:00:56,014
I don't ever remember
you confiding in me about Mitch.
26
00:00:56,098 --> 00:00:57,367
- Asking me for help.
- Asking me for help.
27
00:00:57,391 --> 00:01:00,310
I remember you being pretty capable
of taking good care of yourself.
1
28
00:01:08,991 --> 00:01:11,619
["Nemesis" playing]
29
00:02:42,251 --> 00:02:43,252
[music ends]
30
00:02:44,628 --> 00:02:45,838
[chattering]
31
00:02:45,921 --> 00:02:49,091
Well, didn't I tell you?
Best falafel in all five boroughs.
32
00:02:49,175 --> 00:02:52,136
I read about it on Eater.
You know about Eater, right?
33
00:02:52,219 --> 00:02:53,899
- Yeah. Eater's a great website.
- Love it.
34
00:02:53,929 --> 00:02:55,222
Fuck, I love Eater too.
35
00:02:55,306 --> 00:02:56,950
Can we get back
to what we were talking about, please?
36
00:02:56,974 --> 00:02:58,809
Oh, yeah, please continue.
It was titillating.
37
00:02:58,893 --> 00:03:00,662
You were saying you
got your hands on some e-mails.
38
00:03:00,686 --> 00:03:04,481
Yes. Evidence of transfers.
Payoffs. Shuttled complaints.
39
00:03:04,565 --> 00:03:07,234
And I know people
who can back all this up.
40
00:03:07,318 --> 00:03:09,986
- There's a former VP in HR.
- Yeah.
41
00:03:10,070 --> 00:03:12,364
A producer in evening news.
42
00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:16,994
Unfortunately,
nobody can tie this directly to Fred.
43
00:03:17,077 --> 00:03:18,972
- 'Cause, you know, he's too fucking smart.
- [sighs]
44
00:03:18,996 --> 00:03:21,457
But of course
he's at the center of all this. You know.
45
00:03:21,540 --> 00:03:23,834
I mean,
nobody's doing this shit in a vacuum.
46
00:03:23,918 --> 00:03:26,712
Everybody's too busy
just trying to fucking survive.
47
00:03:27,796 --> 00:03:28,839
Including you.
48
00:03:30,299 --> 00:03:33,844
Hey, look. Just... hear me out.
49
00:03:34,637 --> 00:03:39,475
Let's say that I background some
of this evidence to a reporter, you know.
50
00:03:39,558 --> 00:03:41,495
I know somebody at the Times
or it could be somebody else,
51
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:43,896
or somebody young and hungry.
I don't know,
52
00:03:43,979 --> 00:03:48,067
but I could allude to a larger story
about network complicity, okay.
53
00:03:48,150 --> 00:03:51,403
I wouldn't give them any details,
but I'd kind of usher them towards it
54
00:03:51,487 --> 00:03:52,923
and then just fucking let 'em run with it.
55
00:03:52,947 --> 00:03:56,116
Let it build and build,
and it turns into a fucking runaway train.
56
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,119
- And then we just sit back and...
- Let that train crash into Fred.
57
00:03:59,203 --> 00:04:00,246
Yes.
58
00:04:03,165 --> 00:04:05,668
[car horn honks]
59
00:04:08,796 --> 00:04:11,006
- Are you gonna...
- You've seen Planet Earth, right?
60
00:04:12,341 --> 00:04:13,759
The... The nature documentary?
61
00:04:15,511 --> 00:04:20,140
Documentary series, but, yeah.
It's really moving, and it's educational.
62
00:04:20,224 --> 00:04:21,910
You should fucking watch it.
It's David Attenborough.
63
00:04:21,934 --> 00:04:24,788
Anyway, there's this category of animals,
they're called ambush predators.
64
00:04:24,812 --> 00:04:26,647
And they run the gamut between starfish,
65
00:04:26,730 --> 00:04:30,609
cephalopods, crustaceans,
spiders, snakes, cats even.
66
00:04:30,693 --> 00:04:34,280
And ambush predators,
they wait for the prey
67
00:04:34,363 --> 00:04:37,032
to come within ambush distance
before striking.
68
00:04:37,116 --> 00:04:39,326
They're deliberate.
They usually remain hidden,
69
00:04:39,410 --> 00:04:41,912
in camouflage right up
until the moment they strike.
70
00:04:41,996 --> 00:04:44,623
But when they do strike,
it's over before it began.
71
00:04:44,707 --> 00:04:48,711
And then there is pursuit predation.
It's a different strategy.
72
00:04:48,794 --> 00:04:50,296
Direct. Aggressive.
73
00:04:50,379 --> 00:04:53,841
But it only tends to work when
the predator is faster than the prey.
74
00:04:53,924 --> 00:04:56,886
Look, I'm not an amateur, all right.
I'm faster than you think.
75
00:04:56,969 --> 00:04:59,388
You're not as fast as Fred.
76
00:04:59,805 --> 00:05:03,142
This is his wilderness,
and he's been running for a long time.
77
00:05:03,225 --> 00:05:05,102
He is fucking fast.
78
00:05:05,186 --> 00:05:08,314
You do not chase
Fred Micklen out in the open
79
00:05:08,397 --> 00:05:11,233
unless you know you can take him down.
80
00:05:11,317 --> 00:05:13,402
Otherwise,
he's gonna turn around, attack you,
81
00:05:13,486 --> 00:05:16,614
gut you and eat your innards
in the middle of the fucking savanna.
82
00:05:16,697 --> 00:05:18,532
And that's gonna hurt. A lot.
83
00:05:19,532 --> 00:05:22,745
I mean, what the fuck am I supposed to do?
84
00:05:23,370 --> 00:05:25,748
You wait, man. Were you listening to me?
85
00:05:25,831 --> 00:05:28,417
Until the timing is right
and we have enough ammunition.
86
00:05:28,501 --> 00:05:31,962
Actual airtight evidence
that links Fred to a cover-up.
87
00:05:32,046 --> 00:05:33,366
Yeah. That's easy for you to say.
88
00:05:33,422 --> 00:05:36,258
Fred has me fucking
trained in his rifle sights, okay?
89
00:05:36,342 --> 00:05:39,261
Hey, man. I just gotta point out right now
you seem really desperate,
90
00:05:39,345 --> 00:05:42,264
and desperation is not
a strong position to make a big move.
91
00:05:43,432 --> 00:05:46,101
Is that something else you learned
from your nature documentary?
92
00:05:46,185 --> 00:05:47,895
No. That's Sun Tzu. Art of War.
93
00:05:48,354 --> 00:05:50,648
Jesus. Somebody
fucking kill me right now. I just...
94
00:05:50,731 --> 00:05:53,234
Look. Chippy. Come on. You're tired.
95
00:05:54,652 --> 00:05:56,153
You just got back from LA.
96
00:05:56,570 --> 00:05:58,072
Focus on the show.
97
00:05:59,114 --> 00:06:01,492
And be patient.
98
00:06:02,701 --> 00:06:03,702
Wait.
99
00:06:08,749 --> 00:06:09,917
Night, Chip.
100
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,585
Yeah. Fuck you. Good night.
101
00:06:19,552 --> 00:06:21,762
[Mitch]
And, finally, new details have emerged
102
00:06:21,846 --> 00:06:25,391
illuminating Weinstein's mind-set
in the final hours before his firing.
103
00:06:25,474 --> 00:06:29,061
In an e-mail that leaked to the press,
he wrote to his friends and colleagues,
104
00:06:29,478 --> 00:06:31,230
"I'm desperate for your help.
105
00:06:31,313 --> 00:06:33,107
Just give me the time to have therapy.
106
00:06:33,190 --> 00:06:34,483
Do not let me be fired.
107
00:06:34,567 --> 00:06:36,944
If the industry supports me,
that's all I need."
108
00:06:37,027 --> 00:06:39,071
Wow. So interesting.
109
00:06:39,155 --> 00:06:41,782
Yeah, it's a real window
into how he operated
110
00:06:41,866 --> 00:06:44,066
and how he was able
to manipulate the people around him.
111
00:06:44,118 --> 00:06:47,496
Yeah, I know. It's how the culture
of silence lasted so long.
112
00:06:50,791 --> 00:06:52,710
[sighs]
113
00:06:52,793 --> 00:06:54,461
What the fuck am I doing?
114
00:07:31,957 --> 00:07:33,250
[Mitch] About a week ago,
115
00:07:33,876 --> 00:07:35,169
you jumped into an elevator
116
00:07:35,252 --> 00:07:37,671
to ask me
who else knew about what was going on.
117
00:07:38,297 --> 00:07:39,298
Yes, I did that.
118
00:07:39,381 --> 00:07:42,676
Well, if you really wanna know,
I can give you the whole story.
119
00:07:43,761 --> 00:07:47,473
And I assure you that it is Shakespearean
in scope.
120
00:07:48,516 --> 00:07:49,934
The things that went down.
121
00:07:50,351 --> 00:07:52,353
Who knew. Who covered.
122
00:07:54,939 --> 00:07:57,816
Well, that's a bit general.
I'm gonna need some detail.
123
00:07:58,567 --> 00:08:00,420
Actually, there's something
that I want from you,
124
00:08:00,444 --> 00:08:03,197
so I'm not gonna give up the goods
just yet.
125
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,990
What could you possibly want from me?
126
00:08:06,242 --> 00:08:08,202
I want my old platform back.
127
00:08:08,285 --> 00:08:09,370
To tell my story.
128
00:08:09,453 --> 00:08:13,040
I want... you to interview me on the show.
129
00:08:19,672 --> 00:08:21,924
Look, an interview is not gonna happen.
130
00:08:22,007 --> 00:08:23,884
I will tell you that right now.
131
00:08:23,968 --> 00:08:25,886
No? Why not?
132
00:08:26,637 --> 00:08:28,264
The ratings would go insane.
133
00:08:28,347 --> 00:08:29,849
Yeah, so would the critics.
134
00:08:29,932 --> 00:08:30,933
And social media.
135
00:08:31,016 --> 00:08:34,228
And... And public opinion
would not be in the favor of the show.
136
00:08:34,311 --> 00:08:36,647
Hmm. You don't strike me
as the type of person
137
00:08:36,730 --> 00:08:38,399
who gives a shit about public opinion.
138
00:08:39,567 --> 00:08:43,654
Meeting me for 30 seconds in an elevator
qualifies you to know me somehow?
139
00:08:44,071 --> 00:08:45,072
No.
140
00:08:46,198 --> 00:08:47,408
But am I wrong?
141
00:08:50,077 --> 00:08:53,956
Look, you're a journalist.
I am bringing you a story.
142
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:56,876
Disgraced predator going home,
143
00:08:57,376 --> 00:09:01,755
talking about his reprehensible behavior.
144
00:09:02,339 --> 00:09:04,425
And also, he lifts the veil
145
00:09:04,508 --> 00:09:06,969
that protects
the corporate puppet masters.
146
00:09:07,595 --> 00:09:09,805
Who, quite frankly,
run the whole fucking country.
147
00:09:10,556 --> 00:09:11,599
I mean...
148
00:09:12,766 --> 00:09:13,809
come on.
149
00:09:15,936 --> 00:09:17,855
You know Alex will never go for this.
150
00:09:17,938 --> 00:09:20,816
Not in a million years.
Or Chip, for that matter.
151
00:09:20,900 --> 00:09:23,360
No, you're right.
Alex would not wanna do it,
152
00:09:23,444 --> 00:09:25,279
for a myriad of reasons.
153
00:09:25,362 --> 00:09:29,033
The main one being,
she is hardly innocent herself.
154
00:09:32,578 --> 00:09:33,621
What are you saying?
155
00:09:33,704 --> 00:09:35,788
Hmm, she...
156
00:09:37,081 --> 00:09:38,249
She wasn't blind.
157
00:09:39,167 --> 00:09:41,128
And as for Chip, he's a dead man.
158
00:09:41,211 --> 00:09:44,006
There is no way he survives this.
159
00:09:45,132 --> 00:09:46,550
It's in the tea leaves.
160
00:09:46,634 --> 00:09:48,135
Can't fuck with the tea leaves.
161
00:09:51,055 --> 00:09:52,097
I know what you're doing.
162
00:09:52,515 --> 00:09:57,811
[chuckles] Oh, really? Please.
Please tell me my motivation here.
163
00:09:57,895 --> 00:10:00,981
Because everybody else
is having such a good time doing that.
164
00:10:01,065 --> 00:10:02,983
You're not doing this to be altruistic,
165
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,570
to take down the big,
bad executives at UBA.
166
00:10:07,112 --> 00:10:09,782
You're doing this
'cause you're hoping to get exonerated.
167
00:10:10,574 --> 00:10:11,992
And I don't want any part of that.
168
00:10:12,451 --> 00:10:13,452
Hmm.
169
00:10:14,995 --> 00:10:16,288
Hey, Bradley.
170
00:10:20,626 --> 00:10:21,794
I have proof.
171
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,547
And I can dig up some witnesses.
172
00:10:26,131 --> 00:10:27,341
What kinda witnesses?
173
00:10:27,758 --> 00:10:30,135
Off the top of my head,
I can think of one.
174
00:10:30,219 --> 00:10:32,137
A woman I had relations with.
175
00:10:33,681 --> 00:10:36,851
She basically used me
to get a career bump.
176
00:10:37,268 --> 00:10:38,435
She doesn't hate me.
177
00:10:39,061 --> 00:10:42,147
And I think I can get her to back me up.
178
00:10:45,025 --> 00:10:48,154
- [scoffs]
- I am offering you news.
179
00:10:48,237 --> 00:10:49,864
This is an important story.
180
00:10:50,281 --> 00:10:51,282
It matters.
181
00:10:53,826 --> 00:10:55,661
It could change things. You know that.
182
00:10:58,956 --> 00:11:01,375
What if that important story
takes down the network,
183
00:11:01,458 --> 00:11:04,461
but at the same time, it takes
down the show and everybody on it?
184
00:11:05,546 --> 00:11:07,798
Yeah, that could happen. That's a risk.
185
00:11:09,425 --> 00:11:12,553
But you have to ask yourself,
is that a risk worth taking?
186
00:11:17,892 --> 00:11:20,269
Anyway, let me know.
187
00:11:20,728 --> 00:11:21,729
Soon.
188
00:11:21,812 --> 00:11:24,273
Because I'm going out with this,
with or without you.
189
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,412
Oh, my God. Just tell me what is going on.
190
00:11:39,079 --> 00:11:40,748
I know it's something horrible.
191
00:11:42,082 --> 00:11:43,125
Is someone sick?
192
00:11:43,209 --> 00:11:44,793
- No. No. No one is sick.
- No, no. No.
193
00:11:45,377 --> 00:11:46,670
No one is sick.
194
00:11:46,754 --> 00:11:47,963
Okay, Lizzy.
195
00:11:49,465 --> 00:11:51,133
We love you so much.
196
00:11:51,217 --> 00:11:53,469
And nothing's gonna change.
197
00:11:54,553 --> 00:11:57,765
We're a family, and we will always...
198
00:11:57,848 --> 00:12:00,017
Okay. What are you saying? Just say it.
199
00:12:02,728 --> 00:12:04,980
Your father and I are getting a divorce.
200
00:12:09,860 --> 00:12:10,861
What?
201
00:12:10,945 --> 00:12:12,112
No, no, no.
202
00:12:12,196 --> 00:12:14,674
No, you told me you were separating
so you could work things out.
203
00:12:14,698 --> 00:12:16,075
How did this happen so quickly?
204
00:12:16,158 --> 00:12:17,326
That was the reason.
205
00:12:17,409 --> 00:12:19,453
It was. Honey, and... and... it was.
206
00:12:20,204 --> 00:12:21,831
So you lied to me?
207
00:12:22,498 --> 00:12:23,582
- No.
- [Jason] No.
208
00:12:23,666 --> 00:12:25,334
No, we did not lie to you, honey.
209
00:12:26,168 --> 00:12:27,628
And we did. We tried.
210
00:12:28,462 --> 00:12:29,797
We did try.
211
00:12:30,256 --> 00:12:33,884
- Did you, Mom?
- Um, yes.
212
00:12:33,968 --> 00:12:35,928
How? When? How did you try?
213
00:12:36,345 --> 00:12:39,014
- How did you ever try, Mom?
- No. Come on. Come on, Lizzy.
214
00:12:39,098 --> 00:12:40,641
It's okay. It's okay.
215
00:12:42,142 --> 00:12:43,143
Um...
216
00:12:47,231 --> 00:12:50,693
I... I tried for years, honey.
217
00:12:52,194 --> 00:12:54,947
I don't think you tried.
I think you pretended to try.
218
00:12:56,157 --> 00:12:58,576
Our lives have always been about your job.
219
00:12:59,410 --> 00:13:02,621
And you act like that's a hardship,
but you love your job. You need it.
220
00:13:03,122 --> 00:13:06,709
- You need it more than you need us.
- No, no. That is not fair.
221
00:13:07,293 --> 00:13:10,296
That is so untrue.
222
00:13:10,713 --> 00:13:14,425
Lizzy, I love you
more than I love anything in the world.
223
00:13:14,508 --> 00:13:17,469
You say you love us,
but we are never the priority.
224
00:13:18,345 --> 00:13:22,183
No, Lizzy. Lizzy.
Your mother loves you very much.
225
00:13:22,266 --> 00:13:24,643
Honey, I am doing the best that I can.
226
00:13:25,269 --> 00:13:28,480
- I... I did what I had to do.
- Yeah, for you.
227
00:13:29,190 --> 00:13:30,858
And we have enabled it.
228
00:13:32,151 --> 00:13:33,944
Okay. So I see the therapy's kicking in.
229
00:13:35,821 --> 00:13:37,698
Don't make me feel bad about therapy.
230
00:13:38,574 --> 00:13:41,243
I have never had a normal family
or a normal life.
231
00:13:42,369 --> 00:13:44,997
You have never been really present
for me or for Dad.
232
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,833
And we have been your cheerleaders
and your favorite assistants.
233
00:13:48,250 --> 00:13:49,793
We have not been your priorities.
234
00:13:50,961 --> 00:13:52,213
Okay.
235
00:13:55,549 --> 00:13:56,634
Lizzy, Lizzy.
236
00:14:00,054 --> 00:14:03,682
I was the one who asked for a divorce.
Okay?
237
00:14:04,683 --> 00:14:08,395
If that's true, it's only because
she gave you no other choice.
238
00:14:11,941 --> 00:14:13,275
Oh, God.
239
00:14:14,151 --> 00:14:15,319
Um...
240
00:14:15,402 --> 00:14:18,239
[clears throat]
Would you go after her? She's very upset.
241
00:14:19,281 --> 00:14:21,617
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, come on. She had to...
242
00:14:23,077 --> 00:14:24,662
She had to blame someone, you know?
243
00:14:24,745 --> 00:14:26,413
Yeah, all right. Lizzy.
244
00:14:27,540 --> 00:14:28,916
- Jesus. God.
- Lizzy.
245
00:14:33,045 --> 00:14:35,506
[whirring]
246
00:14:35,589 --> 00:14:37,132
[footsteps pounding]
247
00:14:37,216 --> 00:14:39,176
[panting]
248
00:14:45,558 --> 00:14:46,934
[beeps]
249
00:14:54,817 --> 00:14:55,860
[beeps]
250
00:15:00,239 --> 00:15:01,448
- [groans]
- [button beeps]
251
00:15:02,074 --> 00:15:03,826
[panting]
252
00:15:07,580 --> 00:15:09,623
[cries]
253
00:15:14,670 --> 00:15:15,671
Oh, shit!
254
00:15:19,049 --> 00:15:20,801
Okay. [panting]
255
00:15:23,721 --> 00:15:25,181
[cries]
256
00:15:41,071 --> 00:15:42,448
[phone buzzes]
257
00:15:45,493 --> 00:15:48,746
[exhales] Shit.
258
00:15:49,997 --> 00:15:53,834
[man]
"I did abuse the power I had as president.
259
00:15:54,585 --> 00:15:59,507
Or, not fulfill
the totality of the oath of office."
260
00:15:59,590 --> 00:16:01,258
That's the second thing.
261
00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:03,219
And thirdly,
262
00:16:04,929 --> 00:16:08,474
"I put the American people
through two years of needless agony,
263
00:16:08,557 --> 00:16:09,975
and I apologize for that."
264
00:16:11,602 --> 00:16:14,605
And I say
that you explained your motives...
265
00:16:16,190 --> 00:16:17,733
You don't think I still look puffy?
266
00:16:18,484 --> 00:16:20,945
[woman] You think I would let you
go out there looking puffy?
267
00:16:21,028 --> 00:16:22,279
Okay, easy.
268
00:16:22,738 --> 00:16:23,948
I guess I just feel it.
269
00:16:24,615 --> 00:16:26,617
- Thank you.
- [woman] You got it.
270
00:16:30,037 --> 00:16:31,372
- [Alex sighs]
- Hey.
271
00:16:32,456 --> 00:16:33,874
- Yeah?
- Hey there. I was...
272
00:16:33,958 --> 00:16:34,959
Good morning.
273
00:16:35,042 --> 00:16:36,377
Just wanted to say hello.
274
00:16:37,086 --> 00:16:38,128
Oh.
275
00:16:39,129 --> 00:16:40,339
Yeah, um...
276
00:16:41,632 --> 00:16:43,259
so glad we're out of those fires.
277
00:16:44,468 --> 00:16:45,553
Oh.
278
00:16:45,636 --> 00:16:46,804
Yeah. Sure.
279
00:16:46,887 --> 00:16:50,182
I mean, if I had to spend
another night at the Safari Inn,
280
00:16:50,266 --> 00:16:52,560
I think I might've... I might've just died.
281
00:16:56,564 --> 00:16:58,232
So how are you doing?
282
00:16:58,941 --> 00:17:00,818
Oh. [sighs]
283
00:17:02,486 --> 00:17:06,073
Well, I had to tell Lizzy last night.
284
00:17:06,574 --> 00:17:07,783
Actually Jason and I.
285
00:17:09,118 --> 00:17:11,495
- We told her.
- Oh, oh.
286
00:17:11,996 --> 00:17:13,164
I'm so sorry.
287
00:17:13,539 --> 00:17:14,540
Yeah.
288
00:17:17,918 --> 00:17:19,920
But hopefully
it was like ripping off a Band-Aid?
289
00:17:20,379 --> 00:17:21,589
Oof.
290
00:17:21,672 --> 00:17:22,673
Ripped.
291
00:17:23,090 --> 00:17:24,800
Quick and painful.
292
00:17:27,136 --> 00:17:28,304
[sighs]
293
00:17:30,472 --> 00:17:31,473
Uh!
294
00:17:36,979 --> 00:17:40,900
Do you ever just not know who you are...
295
00:17:43,819 --> 00:17:46,530
or what you want?
296
00:17:48,324 --> 00:17:51,410
All of a sudden
you just don't feel anything?
297
00:17:57,750 --> 00:18:00,127
Um, some of that. Yeah.
298
00:18:01,879 --> 00:18:02,880
I don't like it.
299
00:18:06,759 --> 00:18:09,011
Is there anything I can do to be helpful?
300
00:18:09,637 --> 00:18:12,805
Yes. Could you please get the team
photo shoot taken off the schedule?
301
00:18:12,890 --> 00:18:14,641
- [chuckles]
- For later today?
302
00:18:14,725 --> 00:18:16,851
I beg of you.
The idea of fake smiling right now...
303
00:18:18,020 --> 00:18:19,188
I know what you mean.
304
00:18:19,271 --> 00:18:21,524
Why do I feel like
I'm having yearbook anxiety?
305
00:18:21,607 --> 00:18:25,361
Oh, because you're about to have your face
plastered all over New York City.
306
00:18:25,444 --> 00:18:28,447
- Oh, God.
- On buses, on buildings.
307
00:18:28,531 --> 00:18:30,198
I've never seen myself on a building.
308
00:18:30,282 --> 00:18:31,659
- Yeah.
- [chuckles]
309
00:18:31,742 --> 00:18:33,202
Why is that necessary?
310
00:18:33,285 --> 00:18:34,328
Well,
311
00:18:34,662 --> 00:18:40,751
because they have to erase Mitch Kessler
from everyone's memory.
312
00:18:44,713 --> 00:18:46,215
Like he was never here.
313
00:18:52,054 --> 00:18:53,264
Do you miss him?
314
00:18:57,101 --> 00:18:58,352
Mm-hmm. I do.
315
00:19:02,565 --> 00:19:07,194
Have you...
tried to talk to him since he was fired?
316
00:19:11,907 --> 00:19:13,951
I've reached out to him once or twice.
317
00:19:16,328 --> 00:19:18,497
He thought hiring you was batshit crazy.
318
00:19:18,581 --> 00:19:21,792
[chuckles]
Well, he's not wrong about that.
319
00:19:21,876 --> 00:19:22,877
Mm.
320
00:19:24,378 --> 00:19:29,049
Yeah. Mitch has a way
of not being wrong a lot.
321
00:19:29,550 --> 00:19:30,593
The fucker.
322
00:19:36,056 --> 00:19:38,893
- Well, I guess the show has to go on.
- Mm-hmm.
323
00:19:38,976 --> 00:19:41,353
- Yes, it does.
- I will see you in the big teacup.
324
00:19:41,437 --> 00:19:43,355
- I'll see you there.
- [chuckles]
325
00:19:43,772 --> 00:19:46,275
Hey, thanks for checking in on me.
326
00:19:47,276 --> 00:19:48,486
Yeah.
327
00:19:54,074 --> 00:19:55,552
[Bradley] Now, folks, if you're like me,
328
00:19:55,576 --> 00:19:59,455
you used to dream of a day when robots
are part of our everyday lives.
329
00:19:59,538 --> 00:20:02,249
So, we are pushing
the bird flu scare to the D block.
330
00:20:02,333 --> 00:20:04,668
CDC hasn't even officially responded,
so I don't know,
331
00:20:04,752 --> 00:20:06,045
fuck them and fuck the birds.
332
00:20:06,128 --> 00:20:07,522
But now we have a gap in the C block.
333
00:20:07,546 --> 00:20:10,382
Gotta fill it quickly.
I'm open to ideas. Go.
334
00:20:10,466 --> 00:20:12,152
Bradley's pre-tape
with the high school lacrosse coach
335
00:20:12,176 --> 00:20:14,220
who doped up his players
is in the can for tomorrow.
336
00:20:14,303 --> 00:20:16,573
It's a really strong interview.
She holds his feet to the fire.
337
00:20:16,597 --> 00:20:18,909
It's juicy, but does it really
have the impact of the bird flu?
338
00:20:18,933 --> 00:20:21,227
It's provocative.
It's about power, manipulation.
339
00:20:21,310 --> 00:20:22,770
It has national resonance.
340
00:20:22,853 --> 00:20:24,623
What about the EPA's
new report on climate change?
341
00:20:24,647 --> 00:20:25,898
We already cut that segment.
342
00:20:25,981 --> 00:20:27,661
- Are we reconsidering?
- The report's dry.
343
00:20:27,691 --> 00:20:29,836
- There's nothing revelatory in it.
- Fact that the human race is going
344
00:20:29,860 --> 00:20:32,340
to burst into flames in 20 years
feels like a pretty big story.
345
00:20:32,404 --> 00:20:34,341
Really? Twenty years?
I guess I missed that section.
346
00:20:34,365 --> 00:20:36,301
- Maybe you read between the lines.
- It's not there.
347
00:20:36,325 --> 00:20:37,365
All right. Enough. Enough.
348
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,346
Let's pull up Bradley's interview.
349
00:20:39,370 --> 00:20:41,223
Mia's right.
It's strong. The story's blowing up.
350
00:20:41,247 --> 00:20:43,558
Just one last thing,
the climate change report is actual news.
351
00:20:43,582 --> 00:20:45,709
- [scoffs]
- Whoa. Let it go, Nicky.
352
00:20:45,793 --> 00:20:47,729
It's connected to the fires
we just spent half of the week covering.
353
00:20:47,753 --> 00:20:49,839
Stop pushing. Chip is your boss.
354
00:20:49,922 --> 00:20:52,174
Well, he's yours too,
so pull your lips off his ass.
355
00:20:52,633 --> 00:20:54,635
Everybody already knows
that's your specialty.
356
00:20:55,135 --> 00:20:58,472
[Bradley] Yes. Well, I will be sending
well-wishes to the whole family.
357
00:20:58,556 --> 00:21:00,391
[Alex] Yes, we are. We are.
358
00:21:00,474 --> 00:21:02,852
And also,
we have exciting news in the world...
359
00:21:02,935 --> 00:21:05,187
Sorry, that was, uh... I'm sorry, Mia.
360
00:21:05,271 --> 00:21:06,689
It's okay. Let's move on.
361
00:21:06,772 --> 00:21:08,983
[Alex]
Frank Marklan's explosive new book,
362
00:21:09,066 --> 00:21:12,027
Five Days in October, was released today.
363
00:21:12,111 --> 00:21:13,612
We're not moving on.
364
00:21:14,822 --> 00:21:16,448
Pack up your stuff. You're done.
365
00:21:17,032 --> 00:21:18,576
- What?
- Chip.
366
00:21:18,659 --> 00:21:20,536
Get the fuck out of my control room.
367
00:21:20,619 --> 00:21:23,223
[Bradley] ...here in the studio
to discuss the controversial details
368
00:21:23,247 --> 00:21:24,540
he's alleging in the book.
369
00:21:24,623 --> 00:21:27,918
[Alex] I am so excited for that interview,
Bradley.
370
00:21:28,002 --> 00:21:29,042
[Bradley] Thank you, Alex.
371
00:21:29,086 --> 00:21:31,547
- [Alex] And now on to a big story...
- [Nicky scoffs]
372
00:21:32,715 --> 00:21:35,092
Great. This is...
373
00:21:35,176 --> 00:21:37,863
[Bradley] ...Congress has been working on
a foreign aid package to help the victims.
374
00:21:37,887 --> 00:21:38,888
Awesome.
375
00:21:39,722 --> 00:21:42,617
I'm being punished for saying to her face
what every single person who works here
376
00:21:42,641 --> 00:21:44,703
has been already saying
behind her back for 18 months?
377
00:21:44,727 --> 00:21:46,204
- Really fucking great!
- Get the fuck out!
378
00:21:46,228 --> 00:21:47,396
Thank you.
379
00:21:47,479 --> 00:21:49,064
[Bradley] With the president's veto,
380
00:21:49,148 --> 00:21:51,108
Congress would be sent back
to square one...
381
00:21:51,192 --> 00:21:52,776
[Donny] Stand by for live feed.
382
00:21:52,860 --> 00:21:55,029
Okay. Come on. Nothing to see here.
383
00:21:55,112 --> 00:21:57,031
Got a show to do. Let's get back to work.
384
00:21:57,114 --> 00:21:58,717
[Bradley] ...chief Washington
correspondent, Andrea Lasson,
385
00:21:58,741 --> 00:21:59,867
has more on this story...
386
00:21:59,950 --> 00:22:01,869
[Donny] And take it live feed.
387
00:22:14,632 --> 00:22:15,799
[Chip sighs]
388
00:22:17,635 --> 00:22:20,238
- You have to hire him back!
- Are you fucking kidding me right now?
389
00:22:20,262 --> 00:22:22,262
Do you think you're helping me?
Because you're not!
390
00:22:22,306 --> 00:22:24,266
God, Mia, this is not just about you.
I'm sorry...
391
00:22:24,308 --> 00:22:25,684
You just made everything worse!
392
00:22:25,768 --> 00:22:27,645
What the fuck do you want from me?
393
00:22:27,728 --> 00:22:28,938
I did not fuck Mitch!
394
00:22:29,021 --> 00:22:30,731
I did not make that terrible decision!
395
00:22:30,814 --> 00:22:34,193
I'm the one who's fucking
paying for it every day! F...
396
00:22:35,027 --> 00:22:36,028
[sighs]
397
00:22:38,489 --> 00:22:39,657
Look, I can't...
398
00:22:40,074 --> 00:22:43,410
I wasn't perfect. I know that.
But I can't fucking fix it all.
399
00:22:43,494 --> 00:22:46,038
That's all I'm ever going to be
to everyone here, isn't it?
400
00:22:46,622 --> 00:22:50,000
Come on, Mia. I'm just at the end
of my rope. I'm sorry. I didn't...
401
00:22:51,836 --> 00:22:52,962
[sighs]
402
00:22:53,587 --> 00:22:55,881
- I have to get back to work.
- I'm sorry. Fuck.
403
00:22:59,343 --> 00:23:00,886
Oh, shit.
404
00:23:02,054 --> 00:23:03,097
Oh, shit.
405
00:23:13,482 --> 00:23:15,001
[floor director] Weather is up after tape.
406
00:23:15,025 --> 00:23:16,443
Over large portions of the...
407
00:23:18,237 --> 00:23:20,156
- Something you need?
- Look at your e-mail.
408
00:23:20,447 --> 00:23:21,824
- What?
- Did you get an e-mail?
409
00:23:21,907 --> 00:23:23,409
- I get a lot of e-mails.
- Do it!
410
00:23:23,492 --> 00:23:24,493
Okay.
411
00:23:27,454 --> 00:23:28,581
Shit.
412
00:23:28,914 --> 00:23:32,334
HR. They want to speak to me.
Did you get the same thing?
413
00:23:33,002 --> 00:23:35,671
- Do they know?
- Maybe someone saw us. Someone told them.
414
00:23:36,338 --> 00:23:38,465
I feel like my body is going into shock.
415
00:23:38,549 --> 00:23:41,927
I feel weak. And clammy. What do we do?
416
00:23:42,344 --> 00:23:44,305
Don't vomit.
Just drink a little orange juice.
417
00:23:44,388 --> 00:23:45,556
Yanko, I'm terrified.
418
00:23:46,974 --> 00:23:48,517
Okay. Okay. Give me this.
419
00:23:51,437 --> 00:23:53,230
Okay. Okay. Just listen to me, all right?
420
00:23:53,314 --> 00:23:58,194
We, um... We just... We go to HR together,
and we just tell them that we're dating.
421
00:23:58,277 --> 00:24:01,155
And that they should put that
on the record. We get ahead of it.
422
00:24:01,238 --> 00:24:04,992
Or I have another idea.
We go to HR, and we deny, deny, deny.
423
00:24:05,075 --> 00:24:07,244
- No, it's not gonna work.
- It worked for Clinton.
424
00:24:07,328 --> 00:24:08,662
Clinton was impeached, okay?
425
00:24:08,746 --> 00:24:10,831
It's right.
Clinton was impeached. I'd forgotten.
426
00:24:10,915 --> 00:24:12,392
- Thank you for the research.
- [floor director] Back in 60 seconds.
427
00:24:12,416 --> 00:24:14,502
- Throwing to Yanko.
- You got it. Thank you.
428
00:24:18,214 --> 00:24:19,215
I love you.
429
00:24:20,299 --> 00:24:23,385
And I hate every moment
that I have to hide it.
430
00:24:24,261 --> 00:24:28,182
I wanna take you to dinner
at a nice restaurant,
431
00:24:28,265 --> 00:24:30,601
where we can order steak and drink wine,
432
00:24:30,684 --> 00:24:33,103
and I can hold your hand and kiss you.
433
00:24:33,187 --> 00:24:35,022
Make really bad jokes.
434
00:24:39,068 --> 00:24:40,319
Will you go with me?
435
00:24:41,403 --> 00:24:43,531
- Yanko.
- Now is the time.
436
00:24:53,165 --> 00:24:54,834
I'll meet you in HR.
437
00:24:55,459 --> 00:24:56,877
After the photo shoot.
438
00:24:58,337 --> 00:24:59,338
I can't wait.
439
00:24:59,672 --> 00:25:02,091
[floor director] And we're back in...
440
00:25:03,092 --> 00:25:06,470
five, four, three...
441
00:25:10,641 --> 00:25:13,352
Thank you, Andrea. Great reporting.
That was fascinating.
442
00:25:13,894 --> 00:25:17,231
Of course, Bradley was a bit of
an unknown quantity on the national stage,
443
00:25:17,314 --> 00:25:21,277
but she came to us with
an extensive body of work and experience.
444
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:24,780
So, any hiccups we had with her
as coanchor were really because we...
445
00:25:24,864 --> 00:25:26,240
I mean, let's face it,
446
00:25:26,323 --> 00:25:31,662
I was slow to tailor
the show to the talent, you know.
447
00:25:31,745 --> 00:25:35,916
It's like we were forcing
Steph Curry to play in the paint.
448
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,877
Which is just bad coaching, you know.
449
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,837
When you got a player like Bradley,
450
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,881
you hand her the ball
beyond the three-point line
451
00:25:41,964 --> 00:25:43,483
and you just give her the green light.
452
00:25:43,507 --> 00:25:45,402
And now's really the fun part
where we get to sit back
453
00:25:45,426 --> 00:25:48,345
and really, you know,
watch her do what she does.
454
00:25:48,429 --> 00:25:52,099
Okay. Great. That should do it.
455
00:25:54,351 --> 00:25:56,896
- That's it?
- Mm-hmm. That's it.
456
00:25:57,313 --> 00:25:59,190
With that basketball analogy,
457
00:25:59,273 --> 00:26:01,817
this profile
is practically gonna write itself.
458
00:26:03,569 --> 00:26:05,738
You didn't ask me about Mitch
or any of that stuff.
459
00:26:05,821 --> 00:26:08,157
I don't have time for boilerplate denials.
460
00:26:08,574 --> 00:26:09,867
I've got what I need.
461
00:26:14,497 --> 00:26:15,748
You think you've got it.
462
00:26:16,874 --> 00:26:18,042
Is that right?
463
00:26:18,459 --> 00:26:21,962
Well, I'm not writing that story anyway.
464
00:26:22,046 --> 00:26:26,217
Which, seems to me, should come
as a major relief to you, Chip.
465
00:26:27,301 --> 00:26:29,053
Mag... Maggie, Maggie, Maggie.
466
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,138
Can you... Can you do me a favor?
467
00:26:31,222 --> 00:26:33,599
Can you fucking trust me
for a second here, please?
468
00:26:35,851 --> 00:26:36,852
What?
469
00:26:38,020 --> 00:26:40,397
Look, I'm trying to... I can tell you...
470
00:26:41,941 --> 00:26:43,984
I can share with you some things,
471
00:26:45,653 --> 00:26:47,571
point you toward things
472
00:26:47,655 --> 00:26:51,700
that incriminate the network
to the highest level.
473
00:26:51,784 --> 00:26:55,454
Primarily, the highest fucking level.
474
00:26:56,539 --> 00:27:01,460
Obviously this would have to be
on deep, deep fucking background.
475
00:27:02,336 --> 00:27:07,174
And if you're interested, I'd want you to
get back to me sooner rather than later.
476
00:27:09,969 --> 00:27:12,096
Do I understand what you're saying to me?
477
00:27:13,347 --> 00:27:14,807
Yes, you understand.
478
00:27:17,017 --> 00:27:18,519
This isn't like you.
479
00:27:19,228 --> 00:27:21,814
You have the reputation as a good soldier.
480
00:27:22,481 --> 00:27:24,733
Yeah.
Well, this good soldier's not really...
481
00:27:25,484 --> 00:27:27,945
Not really sure what
he's protecting anymore, you know, so...
482
00:27:30,531 --> 00:27:32,825
What's making you feel bold?
483
00:27:35,661 --> 00:27:37,997
What if it was 15 years of complicity?
484
00:27:38,414 --> 00:27:39,540
No. Sorry.
485
00:27:40,124 --> 00:27:42,209
You don't grow a conscience overnight.
486
00:27:42,835 --> 00:27:45,546
Not when you're in charge
of the jewel asset
487
00:27:45,629 --> 00:27:47,923
of a multibillion-dollar corporation.
488
00:27:48,007 --> 00:27:49,550
You grow a conscience...
489
00:27:50,384 --> 00:27:55,389
when someone from that corporation
gives you permission to have one.
490
00:27:58,058 --> 00:28:00,436
Maggie,
I'm offering you a really good story here.
491
00:28:00,519 --> 00:28:02,605
And I'm looking for the better one.
492
00:28:05,357 --> 00:28:06,358
Okay.
493
00:28:07,026 --> 00:28:10,237
Let's both think about it,
and I'll call you.
494
00:28:21,457 --> 00:28:25,294
Cory, my office is going to reach out
to yours about setting a meeting.
495
00:28:25,711 --> 00:28:26,921
Ooh. Okay.
496
00:28:27,379 --> 00:28:28,923
Fun. Who with?
497
00:28:29,006 --> 00:28:30,716
No. Don't tell me. I like to be surprised.
498
00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:32,092
It's with Marlon Tate.
499
00:28:32,176 --> 00:28:34,720
Potential EP candidate
for The Morning Show.
500
00:28:39,016 --> 00:28:40,726
Chip finally had that heart attack?
501
00:28:40,809 --> 00:28:42,520
Damn it. Condolences.
502
00:28:43,103 --> 00:28:45,147
The internal investigation
will wrap up soon.
503
00:28:45,231 --> 00:28:46,833
We don't know what will be in the report,
504
00:28:46,857 --> 00:28:49,777
and we need
to be ready with contingencies.
505
00:28:50,194 --> 00:28:52,446
Marlon's good. I've known him for years.
506
00:28:52,863 --> 00:28:55,282
Came up in evening news,
but he gets the morning audience.
507
00:28:55,366 --> 00:28:57,368
Thank you for the recommendation, Fred.
508
00:28:57,952 --> 00:28:59,578
It's not a recommendation.
509
00:29:00,538 --> 00:29:01,580
Marlon's the guy.
510
00:29:09,296 --> 00:29:10,506
I hear you, Fred.
511
00:29:11,674 --> 00:29:14,885
And as head of the news division,
I'll take it under advisement.
512
00:29:20,891 --> 00:29:22,935
Is there something
you'd like to say to me?
513
00:29:27,857 --> 00:29:28,858
Yes.
514
00:29:32,528 --> 00:29:34,905
- Are you happy, Fred?
- 'Scuse me?
515
00:29:34,989 --> 00:29:37,408
Are you like a happy person in life?
516
00:29:37,491 --> 00:29:39,910
I know you have a wife,
a couple houses and a network,
517
00:29:39,994 --> 00:29:42,997
but you don't seem very fulfilled
by any of it.
518
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,374
I honestly
don't think I've ever seen you smile
519
00:29:45,457 --> 00:29:47,251
for more than a second or two in a row.
520
00:29:47,334 --> 00:29:50,796
Which is too bad,
because smiling, it's fun to smile.
521
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,131
It feels good.
522
00:29:52,548 --> 00:29:54,884
You should spend
more time doing things that you enjoy.
523
00:29:54,967 --> 00:29:57,636
Maybe you'll have more time
to do that soon. I sure hope so.
524
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,265
It's just some personal advice.
Take it or leave it.
525
00:30:01,348 --> 00:30:02,892
I thought I'd share...
526
00:30:04,685 --> 00:30:08,397
before you find yourself
left with nothing but a permanent frown.
527
00:30:12,568 --> 00:30:14,570
Let me know how it goes with Marlon.
528
00:30:28,209 --> 00:30:33,464
Okay. So, unfortunately,
this is not the best time to get divorced.
529
00:30:35,966 --> 00:30:39,929
Are you suggesting that there
is a good time to get divorced?
530
00:30:40,596 --> 00:30:43,724
Well, if someone
has been the victim of abuse,
531
00:30:44,308 --> 00:30:47,019
filing for divorce
is perceived to be empowering.
532
00:30:47,102 --> 00:30:49,271
It's someone taking back
the reins on their own life.
533
00:30:49,355 --> 00:30:50,731
[Alex] Mm-hmm.
534
00:30:50,814 --> 00:30:53,400
- Is there anything there?
- Abuse?
535
00:30:54,151 --> 00:30:56,487
Um. Oh. [chuckles]
536
00:30:57,196 --> 00:31:00,491
Nope. No abuse. Bummer.
537
00:31:00,825 --> 00:31:02,243
Yeah, cross that off.
538
00:31:02,326 --> 00:31:05,204
Oh, my gosh.
Are you really kidding me with this?
539
00:31:05,746 --> 00:31:09,542
It's a marriage. Marriages end.
I mean, my God.
540
00:31:09,625 --> 00:31:13,379
Especially celebrity marriages, I mean,
they should be measured in dog years.
541
00:31:14,088 --> 00:31:15,172
[chuckles]
542
00:31:15,589 --> 00:31:18,217
Jason and I would be celebrating
140 years.
543
00:31:19,009 --> 00:31:20,094
Success.
544
00:31:20,427 --> 00:31:22,388
That's not how people are gonna see it.
545
00:31:22,471 --> 00:31:25,975
First of all, they're gonna wonder
if you were having an affair with Mitch.
546
00:31:26,058 --> 00:31:27,518
- Mm.
- And if you did, that's okay.
547
00:31:27,601 --> 00:31:30,646
- Okay.
- You just... should tell us.
548
00:31:30,729 --> 00:31:32,769
- It's better to get ahead of these things.
- Right.
549
00:31:32,815 --> 00:31:37,236
Either way, people are definitely
going to notice that Mitch's wife
550
00:31:37,319 --> 00:31:40,823
filed for divorce
right before your divorce was announced.
551
00:31:41,407 --> 00:31:45,202
And then there's the matter
of which of you files for the divorce.
552
00:31:45,619 --> 00:31:48,622
If you file, people will think
that it makes you look heartless.
553
00:31:48,706 --> 00:31:52,418
If Jason files, people will think
that he caught you with another man.
554
00:31:52,835 --> 00:31:56,630
Either that or he just couldn't put up
with a high-maintenance celebrity anymore,
555
00:31:56,714 --> 00:31:58,424
which makes you read pathetic.
556
00:31:58,507 --> 00:32:03,262
Unless of course, Jason was cheating
on you with, let's say, a younger woman.
557
00:32:03,596 --> 00:32:05,097
That plays well.
558
00:32:05,181 --> 00:32:07,016
People will look at you with pity.
559
00:32:07,099 --> 00:32:09,143
But it's pity mixed with sympathy,
560
00:32:09,685 --> 00:32:11,645
so definitely let us know about that.
561
00:32:11,729 --> 00:32:13,689
[low rumbling in distance]
562
00:32:17,234 --> 00:32:20,279
[woman]
Daniel, your show is a fucking car crash.
563
00:32:20,738 --> 00:32:24,408
Even I'm watching.
I mean, Alex crying over that fucking dog.
564
00:32:24,492 --> 00:32:26,952
Who would turn away?
But it's not gonna last.
565
00:32:27,995 --> 00:32:30,414
Look, you're on the winning team for now.
566
00:32:30,498 --> 00:32:32,917
But the real beauty
about being on the number-two show
567
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,962
is that they will spend whatever it takes
on talent to get them to number one.
568
00:32:37,046 --> 00:32:39,590
The remuneration at UBA is not my problem.
569
00:32:39,673 --> 00:32:40,674
What is your problem?
570
00:32:40,758 --> 00:32:45,012
Because my problem is UBA
parading around a couple of white women
571
00:32:45,095 --> 00:32:48,432
to show how progressive the network is
for having two female coanchors
572
00:32:48,516 --> 00:32:50,236
while the brown people
are left to make sure
573
00:32:50,267 --> 00:32:52,467
that the trains
of their dresses don't touch the ground.
574
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,730
I would be outraged.
575
00:32:55,147 --> 00:32:56,941
This is the thing that outrages me.
576
00:32:57,900 --> 00:33:01,987
TMS pulled me from a job
which I actually liked,
577
00:33:02,655 --> 00:33:04,698
wooed me based on my political acumen,
578
00:33:04,782 --> 00:33:08,702
promised me a space
to do what I love to do.
579
00:33:09,578 --> 00:33:13,624
Instead,
they have me doing the fucking Twist.
580
00:33:14,291 --> 00:33:19,922
So while, once again, my ego loves
that you're interested in me...
581
00:33:20,005 --> 00:33:20,840
Mm-hmm.
582
00:33:20,923 --> 00:33:24,635
My fear is that YDA
would just be a lateral move
583
00:33:24,718 --> 00:33:26,929
to a longer version of The Twist.
584
00:33:28,430 --> 00:33:30,140
I want to do the news.
585
00:33:30,224 --> 00:33:32,351
I want people to be excited about it.
586
00:33:32,810 --> 00:33:34,436
And I want that to be enough.
587
00:33:37,356 --> 00:33:40,818
See? This is why I want you on YDA.
588
00:33:41,235 --> 00:33:46,782
Daniel, you are a beautiful, deep-feeling,
boring man who loves hard news.
589
00:33:46,866 --> 00:33:49,201
- I'm not kidding.
- Neither am I.
590
00:33:49,285 --> 00:33:51,412
Okay, people watch YDA because it's fun.
591
00:33:51,495 --> 00:33:54,874
It's light, it's poppy.
And Jimmy and I, we have that covered.
592
00:33:54,957 --> 00:33:58,836
Hell, I enjoy interviewing the surviving
members of the Bay City Rollers.
593
00:33:58,919 --> 00:34:01,922
But we are never going
to beat TMS by being fun.
594
00:34:02,006 --> 00:34:05,426
We need boring. We need gravitas.
595
00:34:05,509 --> 00:34:07,469
We need political credibility.
596
00:34:07,553 --> 00:34:09,471
And you have that coming out the wazoo.
597
00:34:09,555 --> 00:34:11,182
TMS is vulnerable right now.
598
00:34:12,516 --> 00:34:14,518
There are people there that I care about,
599
00:34:14,977 --> 00:34:17,521
people that would be hurt if I jump.
600
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:19,648
Alison, Yanko...
601
00:34:19,732 --> 00:34:23,527
Yes. I know. Your lovely friends
at the Minority Report.
602
00:34:23,611 --> 00:34:25,279
- Low blow.
- Accurate.
603
00:34:26,113 --> 00:34:29,408
Still. It's not easy.
604
00:34:30,075 --> 00:34:33,204
Well, the TMS family is broken,
605
00:34:33,621 --> 00:34:37,458
and it never really included anyone
whose name wasn't Mitch or Alex.
606
00:34:41,962 --> 00:34:45,633
[Bradley] And, you know, if you've
seen it on WebMD or something.
607
00:34:45,716 --> 00:34:47,777
As soon as possible,
but tell them I don't wanna know.
608
00:34:47,801 --> 00:34:49,220
- All right.
- Thank you.
609
00:34:50,596 --> 00:34:51,972
Where's the rest of the family?
610
00:34:52,056 --> 00:34:54,141
I don't know.
Maybe they're walking the dog.
611
00:34:54,767 --> 00:34:55,976
Funny kind of family.
612
00:34:56,894 --> 00:34:59,647
Yep. Dysfunctional.
613
00:35:00,064 --> 00:35:01,565
Just like a real family.
614
00:35:02,483 --> 00:35:04,360
[Alex] All right. I'm back.
615
00:35:04,443 --> 00:35:05,528
[Alison] All here.
616
00:35:05,611 --> 00:35:07,822
Let's capture this happy shit.
617
00:35:09,782 --> 00:35:11,784
- Can I talk to you for a second?
- Yeah.
618
00:35:13,661 --> 00:35:14,912
- Um...
- Yeah.
619
00:35:15,663 --> 00:35:21,000
So, apparently I have to announce
my divorce on the show sometime next week.
620
00:35:21,085 --> 00:35:22,962
- Oh, gosh. I'm sorry.
- That's okay.
621
00:35:23,045 --> 00:35:26,841
I just wanted to give you the heads-up.
So, be prepared for some awkward airtime.
622
00:35:26,924 --> 00:35:28,884
Well, awkward airtime is my specialty.
623
00:35:28,968 --> 00:35:31,053
- [chuckles]
- But thank you for the heads-up.
624
00:35:31,136 --> 00:35:34,181
Yeah. And obviously this stays between us.
625
00:35:34,598 --> 00:35:36,058
- Of course.
- Okay. Thank you.
626
00:35:36,141 --> 00:35:38,268
I just have to be
so careful about what I say.
627
00:35:38,686 --> 00:35:42,605
I mean, I just met with this PR woman
who scared the crap out of me.
628
00:35:43,190 --> 00:35:47,111
Reminded me that I'm walking
into this land mine of speculation and...
629
00:35:47,652 --> 00:35:51,323
about my marriage and my sanity and...
630
00:35:52,158 --> 00:35:53,325
Mitch.
631
00:35:53,951 --> 00:35:55,953
Fuck, I don't know, you and me.
632
00:35:56,036 --> 00:35:57,580
Maybe you and I are in love.
633
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,840
- God, that would be preferable.
- [chuckles]
634
00:36:00,457 --> 00:36:02,668
- Well, that all sounds brutal.
- Mm.
635
00:36:02,751 --> 00:36:03,951
I'm here if you need anything.
636
00:36:04,545 --> 00:36:05,671
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay?
637
00:36:05,754 --> 00:36:06,881
Wait.
638
00:36:07,923 --> 00:36:08,966
Actually.
639
00:36:10,885 --> 00:36:13,012
Maybe we could work on something together?
640
00:36:14,638 --> 00:36:16,056
For your divorce announcement?
641
00:36:16,515 --> 00:36:19,852
Yeah. I mean, you're sitting right there
642
00:36:19,935 --> 00:36:21,478
- when I have to do it.
- Right.
643
00:36:21,562 --> 00:36:23,606
You know,
we could make it into a dialogue.
644
00:36:24,481 --> 00:36:27,443
And since your specialty seems to be...
645
00:36:29,653 --> 00:36:30,946
um...
646
00:36:31,030 --> 00:36:32,239
being human.
647
00:36:33,032 --> 00:36:34,074
Couldn't hurt.
648
00:36:35,868 --> 00:36:40,289
I mean, we could workshop it
over dinner tonight at my apartment.
649
00:36:41,540 --> 00:36:43,542
- Oh, um, that would be great.
- Yeah?
650
00:36:43,626 --> 00:36:46,712
No. Yeah. I would love that.
Um, I'll bring some food.
651
00:36:46,795 --> 00:36:48,398
Oh, you don't have to do that.
I have it covered.
652
00:36:48,422 --> 00:36:49,924
- [both] Okay.
- [man] Okay, ladies.
653
00:36:50,007 --> 00:36:51,818
- Yeah.
- You look beautiful. And you're ready.
654
00:36:51,842 --> 00:36:53,093
So, what do you say we do this?
655
00:36:53,177 --> 00:36:54,178
- Ugh.
- All right.
656
00:36:54,261 --> 00:36:55,489
- [photographer] Let's go be a family.
- Oh, God.
657
00:36:55,513 --> 00:36:56,907
- [Yanko] Pictures.
- [Alex] Okay, guys. Come on.
658
00:36:56,931 --> 00:36:58,200
- [photographer] Here we go.
- [Alex] Happy. Happiness.
659
00:36:58,224 --> 00:37:00,476
[photographer]
Happy family. Good. One, two, three.
660
00:37:00,559 --> 00:37:01,560
Good. Big smiles.
661
00:37:01,644 --> 00:37:03,437
Tilt your hips
towards me a tiny bit. Good.
662
00:37:03,521 --> 00:37:05,916
- That looks good. Right there. Freeze.
- [Daniel] Serious or smiling?
663
00:37:05,940 --> 00:37:07,542
[photographer] That's nice, that's nice.
Right there. That's a good shot.
664
00:37:07,566 --> 00:37:09,860
One, two, three.
Good. Chins up a little bit.
665
00:37:09,944 --> 00:37:12,071
Shift a little bit this way
so you can lean in.
666
00:37:12,154 --> 00:37:14,073
Good. Good. Smile. Great. Good idea.
667
00:37:14,156 --> 00:37:15,884
- Beautiful.
- Everybody knows this is my wrong side...
668
00:37:15,908 --> 00:37:17,618
There is no wrong side for you. Stop it.
669
00:37:17,701 --> 00:37:19,787
- I had caffeine.
- [photographer] Thank you.
670
00:37:20,329 --> 00:37:22,164
Good. Bradley, chin up a little bit?
671
00:37:22,248 --> 00:37:25,000
One, two, three. Good. Big smiles.
There we go.
672
00:37:27,086 --> 00:37:28,170
[Mia sighs]
673
00:37:36,136 --> 00:37:38,180
You know, Nicky was just making a joke.
674
00:37:39,598 --> 00:37:41,100
He's a good kid.
675
00:37:42,101 --> 00:37:44,103
Shouldn't have his life ruined
over making a joke.
676
00:37:44,186 --> 00:37:47,356
- I mean, he apologized.
- I didn't fire him. Chip fired him.
677
00:37:48,649 --> 00:37:49,900
If you say so.
678
00:37:50,734 --> 00:37:53,320
Bart, drop it.
679
00:37:53,988 --> 00:37:55,823
Yeah. I'll drop it.
680
00:38:01,745 --> 00:38:04,623
Some other people
are never gonna drop it though.
681
00:38:21,432 --> 00:38:22,600
Hi, everyone.
682
00:38:24,226 --> 00:38:25,644
Can I have your attention, please?
683
00:38:28,856 --> 00:38:30,065
It's Mia Jordan here.
684
00:38:30,149 --> 00:38:32,651
- Can I have everyone's attention?
- What is that?
685
00:38:32,985 --> 00:38:33,986
Hi.
686
00:38:34,862 --> 00:38:37,823
I'm the scorned, oversensitive woman
687
00:38:37,907 --> 00:38:40,451
- who screwed the lead anchor...
- Oh, fuck.
688
00:38:40,868 --> 00:38:42,077
To help her career.
689
00:38:42,161 --> 00:38:44,788
And got him fired
690
00:38:45,289 --> 00:38:47,333
when he didn't want to leave his wife.
691
00:38:47,416 --> 00:38:48,834
And now I'm out for blood.
692
00:38:48,918 --> 00:38:51,879
So, everybody with a dick
better be careful
693
00:38:51,962 --> 00:38:53,631
'cause she hates dicks now.
694
00:38:57,218 --> 00:38:59,220
Dicks, beware!
695
00:39:00,679 --> 00:39:03,182
Don't leave your home at night
without an escort,
696
00:39:04,266 --> 00:39:08,979
because the vengeful,
slutty, feminist bitch,
697
00:39:09,063 --> 00:39:12,066
Mia Jordan, is out there somewhere.
698
00:39:12,149 --> 00:39:13,585
[Yanko] Well, should we do something here?
699
00:39:13,609 --> 00:39:15,903
No, no, we should let her speak.
Let her speak.
700
00:39:15,986 --> 00:39:19,156
- Look, Mia, I'm sorry.
- You can shut the fuck up, Bart.
701
00:39:19,240 --> 00:39:21,325
Okay, everyone, I got it.
702
00:39:25,162 --> 00:39:27,540
I'm well aware
of what everyone is saying about me.
703
00:39:29,375 --> 00:39:31,836
And now apparently,
704
00:39:33,587 --> 00:39:37,091
I personally got Nicky fired,
and I leaked about Mitch to the Times,
705
00:39:37,174 --> 00:39:40,302
and I'm sure I'm also the Zodiac Killer,
706
00:39:40,386 --> 00:39:43,097
and I probably assassinated
Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
707
00:39:43,180 --> 00:39:44,932
I mean, this fucking list goes on.
708
00:39:45,015 --> 00:39:47,268
And I could deny a lot of that.
709
00:39:47,351 --> 00:39:49,019
Most of it is lies.
710
00:39:49,937 --> 00:39:53,023
Bullshit gossip. But I am just so...
711
00:39:53,899 --> 00:39:56,777
fucking tired.
712
00:39:57,444 --> 00:39:58,863
[laughs]
713
00:40:04,201 --> 00:40:06,245
I don't have the energy to deny it.
714
00:40:08,747 --> 00:40:10,541
What's the point, anyway?
715
00:40:12,751 --> 00:40:15,337
Everybody's already decided
what they believe.
716
00:40:16,005 --> 00:40:18,257
Some of you hate me, some of you pity me,
717
00:40:18,340 --> 00:40:20,050
some of you think I'm a victim,
718
00:40:20,134 --> 00:40:21,886
some of you think I'm a slut.
719
00:40:25,431 --> 00:40:28,142
Everybody's got their fucking opinions,
and you know what?
720
00:40:30,686 --> 00:40:31,812
Have 'em.
721
00:40:33,397 --> 00:40:35,816
I just wanna move on with my fucking life.
722
00:40:37,735 --> 00:40:39,504
- Mia, if you wanna just put the mike...
- [clicks button]
723
00:40:39,528 --> 00:40:43,032
Chip, I'm almost done here, unless you
wanna join in, make this a dialogue here.
724
00:40:45,993 --> 00:40:47,578
- Okay, go ahead.
- [clicks button]
725
00:40:50,748 --> 00:40:51,957
We're all human.
726
00:40:55,002 --> 00:40:56,337
We all have regrets.
727
00:40:59,006 --> 00:41:02,426
No matter which side
of that Me Too line you fall on,
728
00:41:02,510 --> 00:41:05,888
we are all just people
who wanna do our jobs,
729
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:07,890
do good work.
730
00:41:09,725 --> 00:41:13,312
So, that's what I'm gonna focus on.
731
00:41:15,105 --> 00:41:16,106
My work.
732
00:41:19,527 --> 00:41:21,570
'Cause I'd like to be known in this world
733
00:41:21,654 --> 00:41:23,906
for something other than
fucking Mitch Kessler,
734
00:41:23,989 --> 00:41:26,283
and I think I deserve that opportunity.
735
00:41:48,347 --> 00:41:49,890
All right, everybody. Let's...
736
00:41:52,017 --> 00:41:54,395
Let's take that good advice and, uh...
737
00:41:56,355 --> 00:41:57,606
and get back to work.
738
00:42:04,697 --> 00:42:07,074
Mia. Hey.
739
00:42:07,158 --> 00:42:08,159
Bradley.
740
00:42:08,993 --> 00:42:11,328
God, I should've told you.
I wanted to be your producer.
741
00:42:11,412 --> 00:42:14,748
- I didn't want you to think less of me...
- Please. I don't.
742
00:42:15,207 --> 00:42:16,208
I don't.
743
00:42:16,792 --> 00:42:18,919
And I'm so glad you did that just now.
744
00:42:19,712 --> 00:42:23,757
I'm just so sorry that
you've had to deal with this by yourself.
745
00:42:25,926 --> 00:42:27,261
Thank you.
746
00:42:29,013 --> 00:42:31,724
Okay, so... Look,
we gotta prep a show for tomorrow.
747
00:42:31,807 --> 00:42:33,559
- Okay.
- Meet you in your office in ten?
748
00:42:33,642 --> 00:42:35,060
Yeah. Sounds great.
749
00:42:39,773 --> 00:42:41,066
[woman] Now, Claire,
750
00:42:41,150 --> 00:42:44,945
Mr. Flores has stated that he'd like to go
on public record about this relationship.
751
00:42:45,029 --> 00:42:46,572
Well, he spoke,
752
00:42:46,655 --> 00:42:49,533
but we'd both like to
go on record publicly,
753
00:42:50,534 --> 00:42:53,287
but ideally confidentially,
if that's an option.
754
00:42:53,704 --> 00:42:58,542
Well, what I need to better understand
is how this relationship began.
755
00:42:59,835 --> 00:43:02,588
Did you initiate an intimate relationship?
756
00:43:03,547 --> 00:43:06,050
No, I did not.
No. And I never would've thought of that.
757
00:43:06,133 --> 00:43:08,552
No, we became friends, you know?
758
00:43:09,261 --> 00:43:11,263
Claire would...
She'd come in with her research,
759
00:43:11,347 --> 00:43:16,060
and she was willing to listen and
genuinely engage with my work.
760
00:43:16,143 --> 00:43:17,978
Which is not always the case.
761
00:43:18,062 --> 00:43:19,188
People rely on the weather,
762
00:43:19,271 --> 00:43:21,690
but they have a problem
taking it seriously.
763
00:43:21,774 --> 00:43:22,775
Not Claire.
764
00:43:22,858 --> 00:43:26,570
His brain is just really fucking sexy.
765
00:43:26,654 --> 00:43:30,407
It didn't seem like a crime to
transition that feeling into actual sex.
766
00:43:30,491 --> 00:43:31,611
I never said it was a crime.
767
00:43:31,659 --> 00:43:34,787
I'm merely asking how
your first sexual encounter came about.
768
00:43:36,121 --> 00:43:38,791
"Merely asking." That's a very polite way
769
00:43:38,874 --> 00:43:41,377
to ask something that's
really none of your business.
770
00:43:41,794 --> 00:43:44,713
No. I was the one who stopped the kiss.
771
00:43:46,131 --> 00:43:48,968
Look, of course I worried
that it was inappropriate.
772
00:43:50,594 --> 00:43:53,013
I was in deep denial
about my own feelings.
773
00:43:53,097 --> 00:43:55,891
I was. She was completely unfazed.
774
00:43:55,975 --> 00:43:58,102
I mean, she told me that she liked me,
775
00:43:58,185 --> 00:44:00,271
and that she liked me for a while.
776
00:44:00,354 --> 00:44:02,273
And I was knocked back by that.
777
00:44:02,356 --> 00:44:04,275
Yes, we had sex that night.
778
00:44:04,358 --> 00:44:06,277
Yes, it was at Yanko's apartment.
779
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,588
But only because he's the one
who actually knows how to cook,
780
00:44:08,612 --> 00:44:10,531
and I like a good fucking paella.
781
00:44:10,948 --> 00:44:12,283
So then I asked her to dinner,
782
00:44:12,366 --> 00:44:15,035
and then we both just thought
it was smarter to keep it private.
783
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:18,956
Look, I hit on him. I'm the creep here.
784
00:44:19,373 --> 00:44:21,500
I never said either of you were creeps.
785
00:44:21,584 --> 00:44:23,794
Mm, but that's the implication, isn't it?
786
00:44:23,878 --> 00:44:25,918
That he has to have been
tricking me into liking him
787
00:44:25,963 --> 00:44:29,383
because of the very nature
of his professional position of power.
788
00:44:29,466 --> 00:44:32,011
We've thought many, many times
about coming forward and...
789
00:44:32,094 --> 00:44:34,513
And yet only when summoned
did you actually come...
790
00:44:34,597 --> 00:44:37,224
Right. And you could
choose to indict us for that.
791
00:44:37,641 --> 00:44:40,895
And you could choose
to compare the nature of our relationship
792
00:44:40,978 --> 00:44:43,105
with the despicable acts
committed by Mitch Kessler.
793
00:44:43,189 --> 00:44:45,191
You have to understand something, Sheila.
794
00:44:45,524 --> 00:44:48,944
That was the very fear
that motivated us to stay silent.
795
00:44:49,612 --> 00:44:53,240
Has Mr. Flores ever asked you
to do things you're uncomfortable with?
796
00:44:56,285 --> 00:44:57,286
No.
797
00:44:58,037 --> 00:44:59,038
Never?
798
00:44:59,955 --> 00:45:03,083
Well, I suppose he asked me to come here,
and now I feel uncomfortable.
799
00:45:07,213 --> 00:45:10,424
Look, the work you do
here in this room is noble.
800
00:45:10,508 --> 00:45:13,719
Okay? And I appreciate
all of the tough questions, I do.
801
00:45:13,802 --> 00:45:19,183
But Claire and I hope that
we can represent a new way to navigate
802
00:45:19,934 --> 00:45:22,269
this kind of a workplace relationship.
803
00:45:22,353 --> 00:45:26,357
Would you consider
your relationship with Mr. Flores serious?
804
00:45:28,734 --> 00:45:30,319
Why... Why is that relevant?
805
00:45:30,736 --> 00:45:32,822
Because it's our job to examine
806
00:45:32,905 --> 00:45:36,116
whether the two of you working
in the same environment is sustainable.
807
00:45:38,202 --> 00:45:40,746
- Are you saying I could be fired?
- Well, it's just...
808
00:45:40,830 --> 00:45:42,873
But you're not going
to fire the fucking weatherman.
809
00:45:42,957 --> 00:45:45,018
Claire, I'm not saying that
anything's gonna happen to anyone.
810
00:45:45,042 --> 00:45:48,379
I really don't want to be here.
This was a mistake.
811
00:45:48,462 --> 00:45:49,588
Do you need a minute?
812
00:45:49,672 --> 00:45:51,382
No, I need to get out
of this fucking room.
813
00:45:51,465 --> 00:45:54,009
Claire, it's our responsibility
to ask these questions.
814
00:45:54,093 --> 00:45:57,346
And I feel like
I'm still entitled to a shred of privacy.
815
00:45:57,429 --> 00:45:58,973
You chose to come here.
816
00:45:59,056 --> 00:46:00,724
I didn't choose anything.
817
00:46:01,183 --> 00:46:02,226
Claire?
818
00:46:02,309 --> 00:46:03,477
What?
819
00:46:03,561 --> 00:46:05,896
Do you need help
getting out of this relationship?
820
00:46:08,065 --> 00:46:09,066
Oh, my God.
821
00:46:17,700 --> 00:46:19,952
[Yanko whispering indistinctly]
822
00:46:20,035 --> 00:46:22,288
- Oh, my God. You okay?
- I'm not sure.
823
00:46:22,371 --> 00:46:24,582
- What can they do? What can...
- Yanko! Careful.
824
00:46:24,665 --> 00:46:25,666
- I know.
- People.
825
00:46:25,749 --> 00:46:28,169
I know, I know.
I'm just... I'm so relieved.
826
00:46:28,252 --> 00:46:29,461
I think we might be okay.
827
00:46:30,004 --> 00:46:31,255
How was it for you?
828
00:46:31,338 --> 00:46:33,174
- Hard to describe in a...
- [Bradley] Hi.
829
00:46:34,091 --> 00:46:36,010
Oh, good night, Yanko.
830
00:46:36,468 --> 00:46:40,389
Hey. I will get you that research
on the Holmes interview in an hour or so.
831
00:46:40,472 --> 00:46:41,592
- Is that okay?
- Yeah, yeah.
832
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,184
- Good night, Claire.
- Good night.
833
00:46:45,269 --> 00:46:46,896
- Hey.
- Hey.
834
00:46:48,105 --> 00:46:49,356
- How are you?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
835
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,193
Sorry, I'm just thinking about rain,
you know?
836
00:46:52,276 --> 00:46:54,653
It's likely to rain tomorrow,
so opt for rain boots.
837
00:46:54,737 --> 00:46:57,948
Noted. Hey, um, is Claire all right?
838
00:46:59,950 --> 00:47:01,660
Yeah, yeah, I think she's okay.
839
00:47:02,495 --> 00:47:05,748
- All right.
- Yeah. She's incredibly talented. Yeah.
840
00:47:06,499 --> 00:47:09,418
I'm really glad you saw that
and gave her an opportunity.
841
00:47:22,223 --> 00:47:25,518
- Hey.
- Oh, hey. Fancy meeting you here.
842
00:47:25,601 --> 00:47:26,977
What are the odds?
843
00:47:34,193 --> 00:47:35,444
It's okay. Don't be embarrassed
844
00:47:35,528 --> 00:47:37,214
that you were waiting
by the elevator for an hour
845
00:47:37,238 --> 00:47:39,532
hoping you would
catch me leaving the office.
846
00:47:39,615 --> 00:47:40,783
- You're funny.
- Mm-hmm.
847
00:47:40,866 --> 00:47:44,328
[chuckles] It's sort of silly
we're going back to the same place.
848
00:47:44,411 --> 00:47:46,413
It's like we live in the same dorm
or something.
849
00:47:46,497 --> 00:47:47,498
Yeah, I got a crazy idea.
850
00:47:47,581 --> 00:47:50,626
Why don't we tell our cars to fuck off
and walk back to the hotel?
851
00:47:50,709 --> 00:47:52,169
Why are we being driven?
852
00:47:52,253 --> 00:47:55,256
We're in New York fucking City.
Let's go get in it.
853
00:47:55,339 --> 00:47:58,175
Wow. Someone in this building
wants to get into the actual street?
854
00:47:58,259 --> 00:47:59,510
- Yeah.
- Let's do it.
855
00:47:59,593 --> 00:48:01,720
- Oh, yeah.
- [chuckles]
856
00:48:05,099 --> 00:48:08,227
So, it must've been nice to be at home
last week. Sleep in your own bed?
857
00:48:08,310 --> 00:48:12,064
Nah, I spent most of the time, uh,
in a screening room watching pilots.
858
00:48:12,147 --> 00:48:13,274
Oh. Anything good?
859
00:48:14,191 --> 00:48:17,319
You know, a month ago or so
I might've said yes,
860
00:48:17,403 --> 00:48:20,156
but I had this very funny realization
861
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,784
while I was sitting there watching
this expensive and amazing fiction...
862
00:48:23,868 --> 00:48:27,830
- Yeah.
- Which is truth is stranger than fiction.
863
00:48:27,913 --> 00:48:31,167
- I mean, the shows were... They were fine.
- Yeah.
864
00:48:31,250 --> 00:48:32,850
Some of them were pretty good, actually.
865
00:48:32,918 --> 00:48:35,045
But it's just not the same as the truth.
Real life.
866
00:48:35,796 --> 00:48:38,215
I'm into that shit right now, Bradley.
Thanks a lot.
867
00:48:39,508 --> 00:48:40,759
I like the truth.
868
00:48:40,843 --> 00:48:43,345
Although it's bit me in the ass
more times than I can count,
869
00:48:43,429 --> 00:48:44,513
but I do like it.
870
00:48:45,514 --> 00:48:47,516
Hey. Let's do something stupid.
871
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:48,851
You wanna do something stupid?
872
00:48:48,934 --> 00:48:51,663
- Depends on what you mean by stupid.
- All right, here's what I'm thinking.
873
00:48:51,687 --> 00:48:54,440
We hustle up to Central Park
and find that fucking carousel.
874
00:48:54,523 --> 00:48:56,042
No, no, no. We'll go for a carriage ride.
875
00:48:56,066 --> 00:48:59,069
It'll be really politically incorrect
and stupidly fun.
876
00:48:59,695 --> 00:49:02,281
As much as, in general, I love stupid fun,
877
00:49:02,364 --> 00:49:06,869
I... I kinda just need
to figure some stuff out right now.
878
00:49:06,952 --> 00:49:08,787
- All right.
- But can I get a rain check?
879
00:49:10,456 --> 00:49:12,750
Well, it's a limited-time-only offer.
880
00:49:13,167 --> 00:49:15,002
Shut up. No, it's not.
881
00:49:20,216 --> 00:49:22,801
- [chatter]

882
00:49:27,014 --> 00:49:28,182
[sighs]
883
00:49:33,479 --> 00:49:35,564
- Hi, honey.
- What are you doing here?
884
00:49:36,607 --> 00:49:37,608
I...
885
00:49:37,691 --> 00:49:38,984
I come bearing pizza.
886
00:49:39,777 --> 00:49:40,778
I already ate.
887
00:49:43,072 --> 00:49:45,157
Honey, I really want to talk to you.
888
00:49:45,574 --> 00:49:47,117
Samantha is here.
889
00:49:47,201 --> 00:49:49,662
Hey, I was just gonna
run over to the library.
890
00:49:49,745 --> 00:49:51,872
Hi, Sam. How are you, honey?
891
00:49:51,956 --> 00:49:54,083
Hi, Alex. I'm fine.
892
00:49:58,671 --> 00:50:00,422
Come in, I guess.
893
00:50:01,715 --> 00:50:04,677
I should've told you that I was coming.
894
00:50:05,094 --> 00:50:06,303
Yeah, maybe.
895
00:50:07,930 --> 00:50:08,931
[sighs]
896
00:50:12,184 --> 00:50:13,185
What?
897
00:50:13,602 --> 00:50:15,729
Wow. Okay.
898
00:50:20,234 --> 00:50:22,486
I'm sorry I broke your heart.
899
00:50:23,821 --> 00:50:25,239
I'm so sorry.
900
00:50:28,534 --> 00:50:29,785
Why is this happening now?
901
00:50:32,121 --> 00:50:34,281
Does it have something
to do with all this Mitch stuff?
902
00:50:36,959 --> 00:50:39,253
No. Of course not.
903
00:50:39,336 --> 00:50:40,379
Really?
904
00:50:41,046 --> 00:50:43,883
Because you've been
melting down ever since he left,
905
00:50:44,383 --> 00:50:46,010
doing all this crazy stuff.
906
00:50:48,846 --> 00:50:50,264
"Melting down"?
907
00:50:50,347 --> 00:50:52,808
Is that how you characterize
what I've been going through?
908
00:50:52,892 --> 00:50:55,728
Announcing Bradley Jackson
out of nowhere like that?
909
00:50:56,270 --> 00:50:59,481
The whole Page Six thing with you
wandering through the halls at work.
910
00:50:59,565 --> 00:51:02,485
Lizzy. How do you read Page Six
and believe it?
911
00:51:07,198 --> 00:51:08,741
Okay. Lizzy...
912
00:51:14,788 --> 00:51:16,165
I know this hurts.
913
00:51:18,209 --> 00:51:20,377
It doesn't hurt you. You don't care.
914
00:51:20,461 --> 00:51:21,629
What?
915
00:51:22,046 --> 00:51:26,217
Dad loves you so much.
He does everything for you.
916
00:51:27,885 --> 00:51:29,512
Why isn't he good enough?
917
00:51:29,595 --> 00:51:33,641
Oh, honey, this... This has nothing to do
with your father not being good enough.
918
00:51:33,724 --> 00:51:36,435
He's smart. He's handsome. He's funny.
919
00:51:36,519 --> 00:51:38,604
He's a respected professor at NYU.
920
00:51:38,687 --> 00:51:42,566
He's written best-selling books
on world economics, for fuck's sake.
921
00:51:42,650 --> 00:51:44,610
I know all of that, honey.
I know all of it.
922
00:51:44,693 --> 00:51:47,112
Then how can you be so selfish?
923
00:51:56,288 --> 00:52:01,544
Oh, Lizzy. Honey.
The thing is you're only seeing this
924
00:52:01,627 --> 00:52:04,588
from the part that you can see,
and that's as it should be.
925
00:52:06,757 --> 00:52:10,636
But 25 years is a really long time.
926
00:52:13,681 --> 00:52:15,891
We were two completely different people
when we met.
927
00:52:17,393 --> 00:52:18,394
And we just...
928
00:52:21,730 --> 00:52:24,441
I just don't feel the same way anymore.
929
00:52:24,859 --> 00:52:26,402
And I haven't for years.
930
00:52:28,571 --> 00:52:30,990
And I have tried, baby. I've tried.
931
00:52:32,992 --> 00:52:35,578
And I can't tell you how lonely I've been.
932
00:52:38,539 --> 00:52:41,250
And I know this makes you angry and hurt.
933
00:52:41,876 --> 00:52:45,087
But I just want you to try to see
that there is a bigger picture here.
934
00:52:45,171 --> 00:52:48,215
Well, I can't right now, Mom.
I'm too fucking hurt and angry.
935
00:52:48,299 --> 00:52:50,259
Okay. No, honey, let's just...
Please, come on.
936
00:52:51,468 --> 00:52:54,471
We've always been there for each other.
Always.
937
00:52:56,724 --> 00:52:59,685
You're my baby.
Let's just not do this right now.
938
00:52:59,768 --> 00:53:01,103
You need to leave.
939
00:53:01,187 --> 00:53:03,189
I can't even believe
what you're doing now.
940
00:53:05,316 --> 00:53:07,234
What am... What am I doing?
941
00:53:07,318 --> 00:53:10,112
I'm not going
to take care of you right now.
942
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,875
Okay. Okay. Then I will leave.
943
00:53:22,958 --> 00:53:26,253
Great. Go share it with America.
They'll take care of you.
944
00:53:26,587 --> 00:53:30,132
- Well, fuck you, kid. Fuck you!
- [gasps]
945
00:53:31,425 --> 00:53:32,718
Did you really just say that?
946
00:53:32,801 --> 00:53:34,762
Yeah, I did. I just said, "Fuck you."
947
00:53:35,638 --> 00:53:38,098
And, I mean, how fucking dare you.
948
00:53:38,849 --> 00:53:42,561
After all that I have done
and all that I have given to you.
949
00:53:43,103 --> 00:53:46,106
My life. My love. My body.
950
00:53:46,941 --> 00:53:50,861
I broke my fucking vagina
with that big, fucking head of yours.
951
00:53:50,945 --> 00:53:52,947
And I had to be surgically
sewn back together.
952
00:53:53,030 --> 00:53:54,470
I bet you didn't know that, did you?
953
00:53:54,949 --> 00:53:57,701
Oh, and effing just staying
with your father
954
00:53:58,244 --> 00:54:02,665
after all these years of him driving me
insane with his condescending "my loves."
955
00:54:03,082 --> 00:54:06,794
He talked to me like I was a fucking
five-year-old, and I am sick of it.
956
00:54:06,877 --> 00:54:08,254
I am sick of it.
957
00:54:08,337 --> 00:54:11,423
I want happiness. I earned happiness.
958
00:54:11,507 --> 00:54:13,551
I'm a human being, Lizzy.
959
00:54:14,677 --> 00:54:15,678
And you know what else?
960
00:54:15,761 --> 00:54:19,223
Don't you dare bitch at me
about my career,
961
00:54:19,723 --> 00:54:22,434
little Miss I'm-So-Progressive.
962
00:54:22,518 --> 00:54:26,856
Yes, I worked my ass off
to get where I am.
963
00:54:27,648 --> 00:54:28,941
And I wanted it.
964
00:54:29,900 --> 00:54:34,321
I wanted to be something.
I wanted to mean something in this world.
965
00:54:34,864 --> 00:54:36,866
I didn't know that was a fucking crime.
966
00:54:37,491 --> 00:54:39,034
Life isn't perfect, okay, baby?
967
00:54:39,118 --> 00:54:40,619
We don't get everything we want.
968
00:54:40,703 --> 00:54:43,080
You're young, you know?
Go make the life that you want,
969
00:54:43,164 --> 00:54:44,790
and you see how fucking easy it is.
970
00:54:45,249 --> 00:54:49,336
And stop bitching
and complaining and blaming me.
971
00:54:50,588 --> 00:54:52,423
And you get your own fucking pizza.
972
00:54:52,506 --> 00:54:56,010
This is my pizza.
I'm taking my pizza. I earned this shit.
973
00:54:56,093 --> 00:54:58,179
- Fuck you, Mom.
- Oh, fuck you, kid.

It's Bradley Jackson.

If you can find somebody
to corroborate your story,

I might be interested.

Well, you got something out of me.
