00:01:59,411 --> 00:02:00,537
[Cory] Hey.
5
00:02:00,537 --> 00:02:04,249
Kyle, here we go. [laughing]

00:02:06,376 --> 00:02:07,419
[Kyle speaks indistinctly]
7
00:02:09,295 --> 00:02:12,799
My saving grace.
Where would we be without Retta?
8
00:02:12,799 --> 00:02:14,301
- Nowhere.
- Nowhere.
9
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:17,513
Thank you, all.
10
00:02:19,264 --> 00:02:20,766
- All right. Here we go.
- [Yanko] I mean,
11
00:02:20,766 --> 00:02:21,850
- I know I'm shticky--
- Hey, Cory.
12
00:02:21,850 --> 00:02:24,061
- Hey!
- [Cory] Ladies and gentlemen, here we go.
13
00:02:24,061 --> 00:02:25,312
- [chuckles]
- Here we go.
14
00:02:25,312 --> 00:02:26,522
Let's sing for our supper.
15
00:02:26,522 --> 00:02:27,731
- [Christina] Yeah.
- Run up the bill.
16
00:02:27,731 --> 00:02:29,650
- We're hungry. We're gonna kill it.
- [Christina laughs]

[crowd cheering]
18
00:02:41,411 --> 00:02:45,457
- [Retta] Hi, everybody. How's it going?
- [cheering continues]

[dog barks]
20
00:02:59,638 --> 00:03:03,851
- [exclaims] The UBA pooch! [chuckles]
- [barking continues]
21
00:03:09,064 --> 00:03:10,274
Hello, Bradley.
22
00:03:14,194 --> 00:03:15,612
UBA, am I right?
23
00:03:15,612 --> 00:03:17,906
[Cory] What a privilege. I salute you.
24
00:03:17,906 --> 00:03:21,034
- Thank you for your service to UBA.
- Thank you, sir.
25
00:03:22,119 --> 00:03:25,372
This is the show. I love it. Great energy.
26
00:03:34,173 --> 00:03:35,174
[knocks]
27
00:03:35,716 --> 00:03:38,051
- Thank you. [chuckles]
- Ugh.
28
00:03:42,764 --> 00:03:44,683
[Cory] You're gonna have your work
cut out for you.
29
00:03:45,475 --> 00:03:46,768
Let it rip. [groans]
30
00:03:48,478 --> 00:03:52,816
[Retta] Here at UBA, we've been hearing
the word "canceled" a lot.
31
00:03:52,816 --> 00:03:55,444
And I'm not gonna lie to you.
I'm starting to freak out a little bit.
32
00:03:55,444 --> 00:03:58,447
I'm just saying. When I hear people
talking about The Donner Party,
33
00:03:58,447 --> 00:04:02,659
I can't be sure if they're talking about
our number one hit drama series
34
00:04:02,659 --> 00:04:04,703
or lunch at the commissary.
35
00:04:04,703 --> 00:04:06,872
- [Stella] Knock knock.
- Oh, baby's first upfronts.
36
00:04:06,872 --> 00:04:10,751
[sighs] God, I miss COVID.
Can't we just do all of this on Zoom?
37
00:04:10,751 --> 00:04:13,504
[laughs]
Come on, it's tradition. It's fun.
38
00:04:13,504 --> 00:04:17,089
It's a thousand ad execs from Chicago
binge eating takeout from Flavortown.
39
00:04:17,089 --> 00:04:19,885
Stella, don't be a snob.
40
00:04:19,885 --> 00:04:22,596
[sighs] Fine. You ready?
41
00:04:22,596 --> 00:04:23,597
Yep.
42
00:04:23,597 --> 00:04:24,681
- [artist] Good to go.
- Great.
43
00:04:24,681 --> 00:04:27,309
[gasps] My best self. Thank you.
44
00:04:27,309 --> 00:04:30,687
Look, this is all, like,
a-a necessary evil, right?
45
00:04:30,687 --> 00:04:35,609
Oh, it's the beautiful thing
about bullshit. It can't be outsourced.
46
00:04:35,609 --> 00:04:38,320
[Retta]
...institutional racism, and I'm like,
47
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,697
- "Yeah, the writing was on the wall...
- [Cory sighs]
48
00:04:40,697 --> 00:04:42,407
[Retta]
...when they canceled Basketball Wives."
49
00:04:42,407 --> 00:04:46,620
'Cause that shit was good.
And then the suits, they always say,
50
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,665
"Black people don't sell well overseas."
51
00:04:49,665 --> 00:04:53,669
And I'm like, "Really? 'Cause it seems
to me we sold well for centuries."
52
00:04:53,669 --> 00:04:57,339
- [audience groans]
- Yeah, I said it. But y'all did it.
53
00:04:57,339 --> 00:04:58,590
[audience cheering, laughing]
54
00:04:58,590 --> 00:05:00,008
[Stella] Wow, she's amazing.
55
00:05:00,008 --> 00:05:01,385
- Who's worse?
- [Cory] Yeah.
56
00:05:01,385 --> 00:05:02,761
Do you have eyes on the Ellipse boys?
57
00:05:02,761 --> 00:05:05,722
Yeah, they're out there.
Looking bored out of their minds.
58
00:05:05,722 --> 00:05:08,892
- Are you ready to lock this shit down?
- [Retta] ...a lot of sketchy shit...
59
00:05:08,892 --> 00:05:11,436
If I get them to commit
to $300 million in ad sales,
60
00:05:11,436 --> 00:05:13,397
- I want a raise and a Birkin bag.
- [Retta] ...because one old white lady...
61
00:05:13,397 --> 00:05:15,190
- Oh, well, I'll do you one better.
- [Retta] ...wrote Aunt Jemima.
62
00:05:15,190 --> 00:05:18,861
If you get 'em to commit to $300 million,
we all get to keep our jobs.
63
00:05:18,861 --> 00:05:20,988
- [Stella] Mmm.
- [Retta] Does no one remember...
64
00:05:20,988 --> 00:05:24,074
We don't get our loan
unless the ad boys pony up.
65
00:05:24,074 --> 00:05:26,410
Now if you don't think you can
pull it off, I can send Leonard.
66
00:05:26,410 --> 00:05:29,454
- Trust me, I've got this.
- [Retta] ...and his sext messages...
67
00:05:29,454 --> 00:05:32,291
All right, well, singing a song of
gladness and cheer.
68
00:05:32,958 --> 00:05:34,668
Hi. Two minutes till you're on.
69
00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:35,836
Knock 'em dead.
70
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,921
Thank you.
71
00:05:39,548 --> 00:05:40,591
[sighs]
72
00:05:42,009 --> 00:05:43,010
Thanks, Retta.
73
00:05:43,844 --> 00:05:46,221
Secretly, I've been... [stammers]
...dreading this. Nah.
74
00:05:46,221 --> 00:05:50,642
Thanks, Retta. Secretly--
"Hey, I've been s--" I've been secretly--
75
00:05:50,642 --> 00:05:53,562
Thanks, Retta.
I've been secretly dreading this.
76
00:05:54,563 --> 00:05:58,233
Thanks, Retta. [sighs]
I've been secretly dreading this.
77
00:06:01,236 --> 00:06:06,575
[chuckles] Thanks, Retta.
I've been secretly dreading this.
78
00:06:07,075 --> 00:06:10,495
[breathes deeply]
79
00:06:10,495 --> 00:06:13,707
- [audience laughs]
- And now, the man behind the curtain.
80
00:06:13,707 --> 00:06:18,212
Some call him captain of the Titanic,
others Napoleon at Waterloo.
81
00:06:18,212 --> 00:06:21,381
I call him the man who definitely
did not cut the brake lines
82
00:06:21,381 --> 00:06:23,842
- in Mitch Kessler's car.
- [audience laughing]
83
00:06:23,842 --> 00:06:28,722
Please give it up for UBA's CEO,
Cory Ellison.
84
00:06:28,722 --> 00:06:31,642
- [audience cheering, laughing]
- [sighs]
85
00:06:36,647 --> 00:06:38,649
Oh, shit. Hey, Napoleon.
86
00:06:38,649 --> 00:06:39,566
- Oh.
- Hi.
87
00:06:39,566 --> 00:06:42,778
I didn't see my, uh, docuseries
on your fancy sizzle reel this morning.
88
00:06:42,778 --> 00:06:44,905
- [groans] Oh, my.
- Are you not picking up the show?
89
00:06:45,531 --> 00:06:47,616
Are you asking me as talent
who needs placating
90
00:06:47,616 --> 00:06:50,494
- or as a partner with a vested interest?
- Don't fuck with me. Speak English.
91
00:06:50,494 --> 00:06:54,122
- Just tell me what's happening.
- [sighing]
92
00:06:54,122 --> 00:06:58,085
We are flirting with financial disaster.
[chuckles]
93
00:06:58,836 --> 00:07:01,088
Okay, so does that--
You are not picking up the show?
94
00:07:01,088 --> 00:07:04,049
Oh, the God's honest truth,
I haven't made a decision about that.
95
00:07:04,049 --> 00:07:05,634
I have to see how things go this week.
96
00:07:05,634 --> 00:07:08,178
What is going on?
Are we in that much trouble?
97
00:07:08,178 --> 00:07:12,182
[chuckles] It is... [stammers] ...dire, Alex.
No bueno.
98
00:07:13,559 --> 00:07:16,353
Okay, I'm s-- I'm very confused.
I am very confused.
99
00:07:16,353 --> 00:07:19,189
I thought you were all in with Paul Marks.
100
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:20,732
Oh, no. That deal is toast.
101
00:07:20,732 --> 00:07:22,442
- It's toast? What? Wha--
- Yeah.
102
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:23,944
I guess he didn't like
being cucked by you.
103
00:07:25,237 --> 00:07:27,656
Okay... [stammers] ...first of all,
I didn't cuck anybody.
104
00:07:27,656 --> 00:07:29,324
Oh, yeah, that was a cucking.
105
00:07:29,324 --> 00:07:31,410
And believe me
when I tell you, the male ego is fragile.
106
00:07:31,410 --> 00:07:33,662
Some guys aren't into that kind of thing.
107
00:07:33,662 --> 00:07:36,790
Especially if you've spent the last
20 years reinventing jet propulsion.
108
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,042
But if you wanna help keep the lights on,
109
00:07:39,042 --> 00:07:44,381
we could use your considerable
superpowers to woo some ad execs tonight.
110
00:07:47,301 --> 00:07:49,344
Mmm. [clicks tongue, inhales deeply]
111
00:07:49,887 --> 00:07:53,807
- I wooed all morning, but okay.
- Ah.
112
00:07:53,807 --> 00:07:57,686
I will woo. I'll keep wooing
till the cows come home.
113
00:07:59,897 --> 00:08:00,898
- Thank you.
- Sure.
114
00:08:02,858 --> 00:08:03,692
[blows]
115
00:08:09,198 --> 00:08:10,532
Hey, will you do me a favor?
116
00:08:10,532 --> 00:08:13,911
Sure. Here are your pants for tonight
for Cory's Hamptons thing.
117
00:08:13,911 --> 00:08:17,497
Oh, right. Um, will you find out
if Paul Marks is in town?
118
00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:19,583
I was sure I was gonna see him
this morning.
119
00:08:19,583 --> 00:08:21,919
Yeah, I-I heard he was going
to the YDA party.
120
00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:23,212
He's staying at the Mercer.
121
00:08:23,712 --> 00:08:25,047
- Really?
- Yeah.
122
00:08:25,047 --> 00:08:26,548
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
123
00:08:29,176 --> 00:08:30,177
[phone dings]
124
00:08:44,483 --> 00:08:49,196
Unfortunately, NBN's very own
Laura Peterson was implicated
125
00:08:49,196 --> 00:08:53,492
in UBA's hack.
Unsurprisingly, no dick pics.
126
00:08:53,492 --> 00:08:54,701
- [audience laughing]
- [scoffs]
127
00:08:54,701 --> 00:08:59,748
But we did find unreleased photos of
Laura and Bradley gone wild.
128
00:08:59,748 --> 00:09:02,209
- Oh.
- Sorry, I meant in the wild.
129
00:09:02,793 --> 00:09:06,547
I mean, by the looks of it, we're in for
a Sound of Music lesbian reboot.
130
00:09:07,548 --> 00:09:10,300
Whoo, my hills are alive
just thinking about it.
131
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:12,302
[audience cheering, laughing]
132
00:09:22,354 --> 00:09:23,730
[phone dialing]
133
00:09:23,730 --> 00:09:25,107
[phone ringing]
134
00:09:26,358 --> 00:09:27,943
Hey. How are you?
135
00:09:27,943 --> 00:09:30,112
Hey... [sighs] ...I'm good. [chuckles]
136
00:09:30,821 --> 00:09:32,573
Who would've ever thought
we were aspirational?
137
00:09:32,573 --> 00:09:36,660
[laughs] I know.
We should design a line of bonnets.
138
00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:39,329
[chuckles] I'd be willing to open
an Etsy store with you
139
00:09:39,329 --> 00:09:41,039
if you come to Cory's party later.
140
00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:45,169
I, um-- I thought maybe we could,
uh, catch up.
141
00:09:45,169 --> 00:09:47,337
I-- Uh, okay.
142
00:09:48,255 --> 00:09:51,800
Yeah, I mean, if I can sneak away
later from our skate party.
143
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,844
Things are a little crazy
around here right now.
144
00:09:53,844 --> 00:09:58,307
Oh, really? I always thought NBN had
their shit together, unlike this asylum.
145
00:09:58,307 --> 00:10:02,102
[chuckles] No, we just put up
a really good front.
146
00:10:02,936 --> 00:10:05,022
I'm sorry. I have to run.
I'm late for a Q and A
147
00:10:05,022 --> 00:10:07,900
on legacy media in the digital age.
Good times.
148
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:10,819
[chuckles] Oh, yeah, okay.
Well, I'll-I'll see you later.
149
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,240
- Maybe.
- [knocks]
150
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,284
Hey, Bradley.
Mia was hoping you had a minute.
151
00:10:17,284 --> 00:10:18,368
Oh, yeah. Sure.
152
00:10:23,624 --> 00:10:28,295
Uh, yeah. Yeah. I understand.
Thank you. [smacks lips]
153
00:10:28,295 --> 00:10:31,215
Hey, I wanna interview the train conductor
from the subway shooting.
154
00:10:31,215 --> 00:10:32,508
- You good with that?
- Yeah, sure.
155
00:10:32,508 --> 00:10:34,635
I have a slot for it
on Thursday after Awkwafina.
156
00:10:34,635 --> 00:10:36,053
Have Layla chase it while we're at Cory's.
157
00:10:36,053 --> 00:10:38,055
Do I really have to go to this party?
158
00:10:39,389 --> 00:10:41,642
It's gonna be fun.
I mean, we'll-we'll get tipsy.
159
00:10:41,642 --> 00:10:44,478
- We'll talk shit about everybody.
- We can just do that here.
160
00:10:45,062 --> 00:10:47,397
- [stammering] I...
- Okay.
161
00:10:48,357 --> 00:10:50,192
- Hey, are you going to the Hamptons?
- [Christina] Mm-hmm.
162
00:10:50,192 --> 00:10:52,903
Pack snacks. It's a long-ass drive.
What's up?
163
00:10:53,487 --> 00:10:56,031
There's been a bombing in Mariupol.
It's gonna be a big story.
164
00:10:56,698 --> 00:10:58,742
The international news desk
won't send a correspondent.
165
00:10:58,742 --> 00:11:01,203
Everybody is scared because of
what happened to that French news crew.
166
00:11:01,203 --> 00:11:03,288
But if we can be the first
to break this, Bradley--
167
00:11:03,288 --> 00:11:04,540
- What do you need?
- I need a fixer.
168
00:11:04,540 --> 00:11:06,250
Someone who can at least
get my photographer in.
169
00:11:06,250 --> 00:11:09,127
And since you were there in February,
I thought maybe you might have someone.
170
00:11:09,127 --> 00:11:12,172
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I have this guy, Pavlo. He's, um--
171
00:11:12,172 --> 00:11:14,800
His English isn't great,
but he's pretty reliable.
172
00:11:15,801 --> 00:11:18,262
Thanks. I know this is a bit off-book,
but, um-- [sighs]
173
00:11:18,262 --> 00:11:22,432
Please. I'm tap dancing for ad executives
while people are dying in Ukraine.
174
00:11:22,975 --> 00:11:24,309
Let's do this.
175
00:11:25,853 --> 00:11:27,604
How'd it go this morning? [sighs]
176
00:11:27,604 --> 00:11:29,481
[sighs] Well, they were--
177
00:11:29,481 --> 00:11:32,150
seem really excited about the dog
with superpowers show,
178
00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:35,279
but meanwhile there's zero interest
in our Texas abortion documentary.
179
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:36,405
[Mia chuckles] Yikes.
180
00:11:36,405 --> 00:11:39,116
- [sighs] Oh, here he is.
- [phone dialing]
181
00:11:41,076 --> 00:11:42,077
[Pavlo speaking Ukrainian]
182
00:11:42,077 --> 00:11:44,913
- Pavlo, uh, it's Bradley Jackson.
- Ugh.
183
00:11:44,913 --> 00:11:48,125
Yes, from UBA.
I'm here with my colleague, Mia Jordan.
184
00:11:48,125 --> 00:11:49,751
[Pavlo speaking Ukrainian]
185
00:11:49,751 --> 00:11:52,212
[sighs] I'm sorry.
Is there someone who speaks English?
186
00:11:52,212 --> 00:11:53,839
[Pavlo speaking Ukrainian]
187
00:11:53,839 --> 00:11:55,340
[speaking Russian]
188
00:11:55,883 --> 00:12:01,597
- [Pavlo speaking Russian]
- [speaking Russian]
189
00:12:01,597 --> 00:12:03,098
[Pavlo scoffs, speaking Russian]
190
00:12:03,932 --> 00:12:05,058
[speaking Russian]
191
00:12:06,852 --> 00:12:08,937
- [Pavlo speaking Russian]
- [speaks Russian]
192
00:12:10,105 --> 00:12:11,315
- Is that it?
- Mmm.
193
00:12:11,315 --> 00:12:12,399
Uh, okay, bye.
194
00:12:12,983 --> 00:12:14,985
- What? I-- [chuckles]
- Oh, right. My--
195
00:12:14,985 --> 00:12:16,570
I did not know you spoke Russian.
196
00:12:16,570 --> 00:12:20,157
My father was stationed in Berlin
in the '80s, and I-I studied Russian.
197
00:12:20,157 --> 00:12:21,074
It's a long story.
198
00:12:21,074 --> 00:12:23,452
That is wildly impressive.
And how come I didn't know?
199
00:12:23,452 --> 00:12:25,287
- [sighs]
- Do you pull that out on dates?
200
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:27,080
What's a date?
201
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,832
[chuckles]
202
00:12:28,832 --> 00:12:31,168
He wants $2,500. I'm calling André.
203
00:12:32,461 --> 00:12:33,629
- [sighs]
- [phone dials]
204
00:12:33,629 --> 00:12:35,714
[reporter, speaking Ukrainian]
205
00:12:35,714 --> 00:12:37,799
[phone ringing]
206
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:44,515
- [phone continues ringing]
- [sighs]
207
00:12:44,515 --> 00:12:46,642
- Hello?
- Hey. How are you?
208
00:12:46,642 --> 00:12:47,726
Hey.
209
00:12:48,977 --> 00:12:50,479
Uh, you calling
about the hospital bombing?
210
00:12:53,232 --> 00:12:55,776
Yeah, I got a guy
who can get you in Mariupol.
211
00:12:55,776 --> 00:12:58,946
Fan-fucking-tastic.
How soon can he be here?
212
00:12:58,946 --> 00:13:00,739
Well, I can get you his info
as soon as we're off,
213
00:13:00,739 --> 00:13:02,282
but I need you
to understand the risk here.
214
00:13:02,282 --> 00:13:03,659
[André] Yeah, yeah.
I agree to all the terms...
215
00:13:03,659 --> 00:13:05,661
- André, I'm serious.
- ...and conditions.
216
00:13:05,661 --> 00:13:07,246
From what I'm hearing, it's a shit show.
217
00:13:07,246 --> 00:13:09,623
So you are assuming all liability.
218
00:13:09,623 --> 00:13:13,293
[Mia] Under no circumstances can you say
that you are working with UBA.
219
00:13:13,293 --> 00:13:16,547
- I'll take it to the grave.
- But no body bags for you, okay?
220
00:13:17,339 --> 00:13:19,842
Fine, I'll live.
Just please get me in there.
221
00:13:19,842 --> 00:13:23,136
Okay. More soon. Bye.
222
00:13:27,850 --> 00:13:29,184
- [Bradley chuckles]
- What?
223
00:13:30,435 --> 00:13:31,436
Nothing.
224
00:13:32,354 --> 00:13:33,355
Nothing at all.
225
00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:38,777
- Stop, Bradley.
- [chuckles]
226
00:13:39,945 --> 00:13:40,779
Mmm.
227
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:46,577
[Reed]
Revenue's down 23% year to date.
228
00:13:46,577 --> 00:13:50,122
That's a 16 bil market cap,
and your credit ratios are in free fall.
229
00:13:50,122 --> 00:13:52,499
Well, nah, it's really more of
a controlled dive.
230
00:13:52,499 --> 00:13:54,585
We're gonna do a barrel roll.
231
00:13:54,585 --> 00:13:57,421
Hit the thrusters.
Climb back up to 30,000 feet.
232
00:13:58,130 --> 00:14:00,632
Ad revenue's 46% of your business.
233
00:14:01,133 --> 00:14:03,343
We're willing to engage
if you can beat last year's spend.
234
00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:07,431
Given what's been going on at UBA,
that seems implausible.
235
00:14:07,431 --> 00:14:08,891
Well, what is implausible is that
236
00:14:08,891 --> 00:14:13,520
Men of the Ice Age averages
7.2 million viewers in its fifth season.
237
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,397
They just discovered fire last week.
238
00:14:15,397 --> 00:14:19,443
That ice storm lasted 2.5 million years
and so will we.
239
00:14:19,443 --> 00:14:22,905
But to your point,
my most capable lieutenant, Stella Bak,
240
00:14:23,405 --> 00:14:26,450
she's locking down ad commitments
as we speak.
241
00:14:26,450 --> 00:14:28,869
- We will have the money. Trust me.
- [scoffs]
242
00:14:28,869 --> 00:14:31,663
In this line of work,
trust is a euphemism for fucked.
243
00:14:32,164 --> 00:14:35,584
- [Cory chuckles]
- But hey, happy to be surprised.
244
00:14:36,502 --> 00:14:39,254
You let us know if you get there.
We'll be ready to underwrite the loan.
245
00:14:40,214 --> 00:14:41,882
[Sahil] In the meantime, enjoy your party.
246
00:14:41,882 --> 00:14:44,176
I heard you snagged
that stunner on West End.
247
00:14:44,176 --> 00:14:47,304
- Yeah, early pandemic buy. [chuckles]
- Good for you.
248
00:14:48,972 --> 00:14:50,557
We should get a round in
at Maidstone sometime.
249
00:14:50,557 --> 00:14:51,725
That sounds great.
250
00:14:51,725 --> 00:14:54,686
Yeah, of all the anti-Semitic clubs,
that one's my favorite.
251
00:14:55,270 --> 00:14:57,481
Well, some older members belong.
252
00:14:57,481 --> 00:15:00,359
- [chuckles] Mayflower Jews.
- [chuckling]
253
00:15:00,359 --> 00:15:02,778
See, this is the problem with New America.
It's the same menu.
254
00:15:02,778 --> 00:15:06,365
- Petit filet. King salmon.
- No lobster tagliolini.
255
00:15:06,365 --> 00:15:07,282
[clicks tongue] Aw.
256
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:09,576
Drew was really hoping
you'd take us to Carbone.
257
00:15:10,285 --> 00:15:14,122
Carbone, seriously?
Carbone is where you take your wife.
258
00:15:14,122 --> 00:15:18,168
[chuckling] You get my wife
to eat anything even resembling a carb,
259
00:15:18,168 --> 00:15:20,671
- and you can have my fucking job.
- [chuckling]
260
00:15:21,547 --> 00:15:24,424
Good afternoon. I'm Erica.
I'll be taking care of you today.
261
00:15:24,424 --> 00:15:25,801
- Mmm. Yeah.
- I feel better already.
262
00:15:26,885 --> 00:15:29,388
Can I get you started on drinks
while you're looking at the menus?
263
00:15:29,388 --> 00:15:30,347
- Yes, please.
- Yeah.
264
00:15:30,347 --> 00:15:32,975
We will actually start
with an order of the Hamachi Crudo,
265
00:15:32,975 --> 00:15:38,230
the yellowfin tuna tartare
and, ooh, the full caviar service.
266
00:15:38,730 --> 00:15:41,733
And I will have a Grey Goose martini.
Dirty. Three olives.
267
00:15:41,733 --> 00:15:43,235
- Two of those.
- [mouthing words] Okay.
268
00:15:44,152 --> 00:15:45,153
Stella?
269
00:15:45,904 --> 00:15:48,365
Bombay Sapphire.
Up, with a twist. And keep 'em coming.
270
00:15:48,365 --> 00:15:51,785
[chuckles] Okay.
Damn the torpedoes, right?
271
00:15:51,785 --> 00:15:53,453
- I like this woman.
- [Zach] Yeah.
272
00:15:53,453 --> 00:15:55,873
- I heard you guys could drink.
- [Zach] I guess we'll find out.
273
00:15:56,373 --> 00:15:59,543
- We sure will.
- [both chuckle]
274
00:15:59,543 --> 00:16:00,878
This'll be fun.
275
00:16:34,703 --> 00:16:35,746
[Alex] Hi.
276
00:16:36,663 --> 00:16:37,664
Hi.
277
00:16:38,165 --> 00:16:40,292
Did you hire some ex-Mossad
to stalk me or something?
278
00:16:40,292 --> 00:16:44,171
Well, if by ex-Mossad
you mean my assistant, then yes.
279
00:16:46,882 --> 00:16:50,469
- [sighs] Yeah. Cory send you?
- God, no.
280
00:16:50,469 --> 00:16:52,471
Because if this
is some kind of elaborate ploy
281
00:16:52,471 --> 00:16:54,681
to rope me back into the fold,
I am not interested.
282
00:16:55,849 --> 00:16:58,477
Well, why don't you
get in the car and find out?
283
00:16:58,477 --> 00:17:02,022
While I appreciate the ambush apology,
I do actually have plans.
284
00:17:02,022 --> 00:17:03,148
Okay... [stammers] ...the YDA--
285
00:17:03,148 --> 00:17:06,401
Are you seriously going
to the YDA ice-skating thing?
286
00:17:06,401 --> 00:17:08,069
[chuckling]
287
00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:11,365
[chuckles] I swear,
I'm not stalking you. People talk.
288
00:17:11,365 --> 00:17:12,449
Yeah, I know they do.
289
00:17:12,449 --> 00:17:14,617
Especially when a $40 billion deal
is on the line.
290
00:17:17,246 --> 00:17:22,626
Just get in the car.
I have a suborbital surprise for you.
291
00:17:25,628 --> 00:17:27,798
[chuckles] You are relentless.
292
00:17:28,507 --> 00:17:31,677
You don't wanna show up to those things
while people are still sober.
293
00:17:33,762 --> 00:17:36,807
All right, Levy. Let's see what you got.
294
00:17:39,685 --> 00:17:43,021
- Oh, no. Who's that?
- Yeah, that's Howie, my security.
295
00:17:43,021 --> 00:17:45,607
Well, can you tell Howie to stand down?
296
00:17:45,607 --> 00:17:48,443
I mean, it's SoHo.
You really think I'm kidnapping you?
297
00:17:48,443 --> 00:17:50,946
[chuckles] Well, believe it or not,
it wouldn't be the first time.
298
00:17:54,074 --> 00:17:56,368
Wow. Instantly just got more interesting.
299
00:18:02,291 --> 00:18:04,334
["What Can I Say" playing]
300
00:18:16,388 --> 00:18:19,766
- [Cory] All right. How we doing?
- Great. Everything is pretty much set.
301
00:18:22,394 --> 00:18:23,645
We're gonna have to move the raw bar.
302
00:18:23,645 --> 00:18:25,480
I thought you wanted it
next to the cocktail tables.
303
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,358
Well, we can't have the oysters
languishing in the sun.
304
00:18:28,358 --> 00:18:34,281
The sunset is at 7:38,
280 degrees Northwest.
305
00:18:34,281 --> 00:18:36,909
Salmonella isn't sybaritic, Kendra.
306
00:18:36,909 --> 00:18:38,619
- We're on it.
- Good.
307
00:18:38,619 --> 00:18:41,038
Sixty minutes, people.
This is fun. Let's go!
308
00:18:43,290 --> 00:18:44,875
[restaurant crowd chattering]
309
00:18:51,256 --> 00:18:52,299
Ooh, yes. Thank you.
310
00:18:53,592 --> 00:18:57,221
So how do we know UBA+
isn't another CBN+ situation?
311
00:18:57,221 --> 00:18:58,722
It barely has any programming.
312
00:18:58,722 --> 00:19:00,599
[scoffs] What does CBN+ have?
313
00:19:00,599 --> 00:19:04,394
Alex Unfiltered reached
an unprecedented number of households,
314
00:19:04,895 --> 00:19:07,981
put UBA+ on the map,
and we've only grown from there.
315
00:19:08,482 --> 00:19:10,943
- My wife subscribed for Alex.
- [Zach] Mmm.
316
00:19:10,943 --> 00:19:12,986
She made her book club read Alex's memoir.
317
00:19:12,986 --> 00:19:14,154
[Zach] Mmm.
318
00:19:14,154 --> 00:19:16,698
She has a lot of theories
about Alex's divorce.
319
00:19:17,491 --> 00:19:19,243
Thought she should've ended up
with Chip Black.
320
00:19:19,993 --> 00:19:21,620
Well, she's still America's sweetheart.
321
00:19:21,620 --> 00:19:23,455
[Zach] Didn't seem sweet
in Maggie Brener's book.
322
00:19:23,455 --> 00:19:26,750
Maggie took her shot. No one gave a shit.
Where is she now?
323
00:19:26,750 --> 00:19:29,044
- [chuckles]
- Still. [sighs]
324
00:19:29,837 --> 00:19:33,131
Some of our clients
have concerns about brand affinity.
325
00:19:33,131 --> 00:19:35,008
It seems like every week
there's a new scandal.
326
00:19:36,927 --> 00:19:41,056
But your wife, she's all in, right?
327
00:19:42,850 --> 00:19:44,434
I think she likes the mess.
328
00:19:44,434 --> 00:19:49,022
A lot of people do. Post-hack,
our web traffic increased 250%.
329
00:19:49,022 --> 00:19:53,443
Scandals get clicks. That's an organic
migration from web to streaming.
330
00:19:53,443 --> 00:19:56,154
Prying eyes became subscribers.
331
00:19:56,154 --> 00:19:59,324
So I would lock this shit down
before the number gets any higher,
332
00:19:59,324 --> 00:20:01,577
and we stop giving you
a friends-and-family discount.
333
00:20:01,577 --> 00:20:03,078
[both chuckle]
334
00:20:03,078 --> 00:20:05,789
Wow, I like you, Stella.
You're surprising.
335
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,712
But you see, I'm gonna need
another drink to think it over. So...
336
00:20:11,712 --> 00:20:12,629
[snaps]
337
00:20:12,629 --> 00:20:13,547
- Ah, yes.
- [Drew sighs]
338
00:20:13,547 --> 00:20:15,507
- [Erica] Another round? [sighs]
- You read my mind.
339
00:20:19,761 --> 00:20:22,723
- [Drew sighs]
- Excuse me. Need the ladies'.
340
00:20:27,477 --> 00:20:28,478
Hey.
341
00:20:30,606 --> 00:20:33,567
I'd be eternally grateful
if you could bring water instead of gin.
342
00:20:33,567 --> 00:20:35,777
These guys are impossible to keep up with.
343
00:20:35,777 --> 00:20:37,404
- No problem.
- Thanks.
344
00:20:46,663 --> 00:20:48,999
I'm setting a 90-minute timer,
then I'm gone.
345
00:20:49,499 --> 00:20:51,293
I'll swim back to Manhattan if I have to.
346
00:20:51,293 --> 00:20:57,090
Uh, you are not leaving me alone
in this palace of sadness.
347
00:20:59,009 --> 00:21:01,136
It does kinda scream,
348
00:21:01,136 --> 00:21:03,430
"Really, I'm fine being single."
[chuckles]
349
00:21:03,430 --> 00:21:05,057
[both chuckling]
350
00:21:05,599 --> 00:21:07,100
[party guests chattering]
351
00:21:08,936 --> 00:21:10,896
- [Bradley] All right.
- Come on in.
352
00:21:10,896 --> 00:21:11,980
Thanks.
353
00:21:20,906 --> 00:21:22,115
Excuse me one second. Hi.
354
00:21:22,991 --> 00:21:24,284
Hey. Your place looks great.
355
00:21:24,284 --> 00:21:27,037
Oh, yeah. I made a few additions
since, uh, you were last here.
356
00:21:27,037 --> 00:21:28,872
You mean the ad execs
don't come with the house?
357
00:21:28,872 --> 00:21:31,708
That group of mouth breathers
in the vintage Men's Warehouse
358
00:21:31,708 --> 00:21:33,836
could really use
the Bradley Jackson razzle-dazzle.
359
00:21:33,836 --> 00:21:35,170
You wanna go say hi? Good. Thank you.
360
00:21:39,967 --> 00:21:41,051
[sighs]
361
00:21:42,177 --> 00:21:43,220
[mouthing words] Hi.
362
00:21:44,096 --> 00:21:45,097
I'm Bradley Jackson.
363
00:21:45,097 --> 00:21:46,306
- Very nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet--
364
00:21:46,306 --> 00:21:49,017
[announcer]
Next ride. Welcome. [speaks indistinctly]
365
00:21:49,017 --> 00:21:50,477
The one and only Coney Island.
366
00:21:51,103 --> 00:21:55,065
[people laughing, yelling, screaming]
367
00:21:55,065 --> 00:21:59,361
So this place was called Astroland,
and the whole park had a space theme.
368
00:21:59,361 --> 00:22:01,405
- Ah. I see.
- And I worked here
369
00:22:01,405 --> 00:22:02,990
the summer before college.
370
00:22:02,990 --> 00:22:05,868
Turned down an internship
at The New Yorker...
371
00:22:05,868 --> 00:22:08,287
- [smacks lips] Ah.
- ...to salt margarita glasses.
372
00:22:08,287 --> 00:22:10,205
Well, your parents must've been so proud.
373
00:22:10,205 --> 00:22:14,793
Oh. My father, he said if he'd known
he was raising a cocktail waitress,
374
00:22:14,793 --> 00:22:16,753
he would've never bothered
to teach me to read.
375
00:22:16,753 --> 00:22:20,299
Huh. Well, is that what this is then?
Is this a-a walk down memory lane?
376
00:22:20,299 --> 00:22:23,969
No, no. I act--
I really just wanted to apologize.
377
00:22:24,887 --> 00:22:26,805
I'm so sorry I bailed on the launch.
378
00:22:27,389 --> 00:22:30,726
- I was just so pissed.
- Right, so what was that about?
379
00:22:32,728 --> 00:22:35,731
[stammers]
It had nothing to do with you. Nothing.
380
00:22:36,231 --> 00:22:38,150
Kinda felt like it had
an awful lot to do with me.
381
00:22:38,150 --> 00:22:41,486
I know. I'm sorry. I just have such--
382
00:22:43,363 --> 00:22:46,742
I have a very complicated history
with UBA.
383
00:22:47,451 --> 00:22:52,539
Um, men trying to...
384
00:22:53,624 --> 00:22:55,542
[stammers] ...control my destiny.
385
00:22:55,542 --> 00:22:57,085
And that is not on you.
386
00:22:58,295 --> 00:23:00,839
And you were right when you said
we should take some time
387
00:23:00,839 --> 00:23:03,425
to get to know each other,
and I screwed that up.
388
00:23:04,968 --> 00:23:07,137
Well, that was back when there
was a deal on the table.
389
00:23:07,137 --> 00:23:08,222
That ship has sailed.
390
00:23:10,140 --> 00:23:13,435
Mmm. Well, ha-- has it?
391
00:23:15,020 --> 00:23:16,522
[sighs] I mean, you're here.
392
00:23:18,065 --> 00:23:21,360
[chuckles] Under duress.
393
00:23:21,902 --> 00:23:23,070
[Alex] Mmm.
394
00:23:25,364 --> 00:23:27,866
[inaudible dialogue]
395
00:23:27,866 --> 00:23:30,619
["Love Is Back" playing]
396
00:23:41,171 --> 00:23:44,049
Well, your suborbital surprise
awaits you, sir.
397
00:23:44,049 --> 00:23:46,176
- [riders screaming]
- [Paul] Really?
398
00:23:46,176 --> 00:23:49,054
[chuckles] Come on. Come on,
I owe you a ride. Let's go.
399
00:23:49,054 --> 00:23:51,765
- Let's have some fun.
- I hate standing in lines.
400
00:23:51,765 --> 00:23:55,060
[chuckles] Oh, my goodness.
It's barely a line, moneybags.
401
00:23:55,060 --> 00:23:57,604
Moneybags? Like you do
your own grocery shopping.
402
00:23:57,604 --> 00:23:59,022
And you do yours?
403
00:23:59,022 --> 00:24:00,691
- No, I have a farm.
- You do?
404
00:24:00,691 --> 00:24:02,234
It's completely self-sustainable.
405
00:24:02,234 --> 00:24:04,444
- Oh, what do you grow, Bitcoin?
- [chuckles]
406
00:24:06,989 --> 00:24:07,990
All right.
407
00:24:08,532 --> 00:24:11,451
Strap in. Here we go. [grunts]
408
00:24:14,872 --> 00:24:17,040
Passed up a ride on my rocket for this?
409
00:24:18,458 --> 00:24:20,836
Regrets, I've had a few.
410
00:24:21,587 --> 00:24:23,964
[riders screaming]
411
00:24:32,306 --> 00:24:33,640
[speaking indistinctly]
412
00:24:34,474 --> 00:24:37,686
[guest] ...chambers and the senators
running for their lives. [chuckles]
413
00:24:37,686 --> 00:24:39,688
I actually--
I didn't see the Vice President.
414
00:24:39,688 --> 00:24:41,690
I was in a different part
of the building, but--
415
00:24:41,690 --> 00:24:43,650
Well, you're covering...
[speaking indistinctly] ...right?
416
00:24:43,650 --> 00:24:45,777
You kinda know anything new
that's going on?
417
00:24:45,777 --> 00:24:47,905
Well, there's different, you know, things.
418
00:24:47,905 --> 00:24:49,573
- Indictments, you know--
- So sorry to interrupt.
419
00:24:49,573 --> 00:24:50,490
- [guest] Yeah.
- Oh.
420
00:24:51,366 --> 00:24:52,743
Can I borrow Bradley for a minute?
421
00:24:52,743 --> 00:24:54,286
[guest] Yeah. Of course. Of course.
422
00:24:54,286 --> 00:24:57,247
- Hey. My daughter's a big fan.
- Thanks. Nice meeting you all.
423
00:25:02,085 --> 00:25:03,295
Oh, my God. Thank you.
424
00:25:03,295 --> 00:25:04,755
I could hear you dying inside.
425
00:25:04,755 --> 00:25:06,006
[chuckles]
426
00:25:06,590 --> 00:25:09,176
Well, you better be careful
or we're gonna end up on Page Six.
427
00:25:09,176 --> 00:25:10,385
[chuckling]
428
00:25:11,303 --> 00:25:12,971
I'm really surprised you came.
429
00:25:12,971 --> 00:25:15,224
Well, you know,
it beats the YDA skate-athon.
430
00:25:15,224 --> 00:25:18,727
- Audra, drunk, on ice is a lot.
- [sucks teeth] Mmm. She's a lot.
431
00:25:20,521 --> 00:25:21,855
And I wanted to see you.
432
00:25:23,857 --> 00:25:24,983
[Mia] Laura.
433
00:25:25,692 --> 00:25:27,486
- Mia.
- [Mia] Hey. How are you?
434
00:25:27,486 --> 00:25:28,987
- Never better.
- [chuckles]
435
00:25:28,987 --> 00:25:32,449
Look at us, all together.
Like the early days of the pandemic.
436
00:25:32,449 --> 00:25:33,659
- Oh, yeah. [chuckles]
- Oh, my gosh.
437
00:25:33,659 --> 00:25:35,869
Hey, how's André?
Did he make it to Mariupol?
438
00:25:35,869 --> 00:25:37,371
I'm just waiting on word.
439
00:25:38,205 --> 00:25:40,791
The hospital bombing?
You have André Ford working on that?
440
00:25:40,791 --> 00:25:42,668
- [Mia] Yeah.
- He's incredible.
441
00:25:43,377 --> 00:25:44,753
YDA is running something too?
442
00:25:44,753 --> 00:25:47,840
We were supposed to open with it tomorrow,
but at this point, who knows anything?
443
00:25:48,423 --> 00:25:50,050
Well, I can't wait to see your coverage.
444
00:25:50,050 --> 00:25:51,051
- [Laura] Likewise.
- Okay.
445
00:25:51,051 --> 00:25:52,886
- Okay, let me know.
- Okay. [chuckles]
446
00:25:53,846 --> 00:25:58,225
Oh, my God. [sighs]
This party's never gonna end.
447
00:25:58,225 --> 00:26:00,686
Aw. Already burnt out
from your first upfronts?
448
00:26:00,686 --> 00:26:03,021
I've had to endure this for
the past 25 years.
449
00:26:03,021 --> 00:26:05,566
Although, at least in the '90s,
you could smoke,
450
00:26:05,566 --> 00:26:06,900
and cocaine couldn't kill you.
451
00:26:06,900 --> 00:26:10,988
Ooh. I'm gonna need the details.
Maybe even pictures if you have them.
452
00:26:10,988 --> 00:26:14,449
Oh, yeah. Well, it's shocking, isn't it?
You know, I wasn't always this boring.
453
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,201
Speaking of...
454
00:26:17,870 --> 00:26:20,038
should we go and explore the king's lair?
455
00:26:22,207 --> 00:26:24,668
Uh... [stammers] ...I don't know. No.
456
00:26:24,668 --> 00:26:25,752
Come on.
457
00:26:31,341 --> 00:26:32,342
Hurry.
458
00:26:34,845 --> 00:26:38,849
Our analytics team estimates
that two billion hours of UBA content
459
00:26:38,849 --> 00:26:40,726
will be streamed by year-end.
460
00:26:41,602 --> 00:26:43,312
That's an impressive number.
461
00:26:43,312 --> 00:26:46,440
Hmm. What's impressive
is how high your tolerance is.
462
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,484
Especially for someone so petite.
463
00:26:50,485 --> 00:26:51,486
[stammers] What?
464
00:26:51,486 --> 00:26:53,780
Yeah, Stella.
465
00:26:53,780 --> 00:26:56,116
- How have you been keeping up with us?
- [Stella] Oh, hey.
466
00:26:56,116 --> 00:26:58,368
- Covid. S--
- [Drew] Let me s-- Ah. [chuckles]
467
00:26:58,994 --> 00:27:00,621
No, it's fine. It's fine.
468
00:27:00,621 --> 00:27:02,331
- Let me get that.
- No, leave it.
469
00:27:03,749 --> 00:27:06,460
Actually,
maybe you can help us solve a debate.
470
00:27:06,460 --> 00:27:10,130
Do you think that there's gin in there,
or is it just water?
471
00:27:13,842 --> 00:27:15,928
You see,
I think you two have been working us.
472
00:27:18,847 --> 00:27:22,309
I got to get to the Hamptons.
So, I'd love to lock in a rate.
473
00:27:23,185 --> 00:27:26,605
She licks up that drink, and I'll close
at 150k per prime-time spot.
474
00:27:30,817 --> 00:27:32,653
Guys, leave her out of this.
475
00:27:33,445 --> 00:27:34,446
I'm serious.
476
00:27:35,322 --> 00:27:37,658
You buy something for me,
I buy something for you.
477
00:27:40,244 --> 00:27:42,287
Don't lowball me, Zach.
478
00:27:43,163 --> 00:27:47,084
200k per spot, best and final.
479
00:27:50,963 --> 00:27:54,424
[sighs]
480
00:27:54,424 --> 00:27:55,509
[Zach] Okay.
481
00:27:56,260 --> 00:28:00,597
$20,000 tip and everybody wins.
482
00:28:13,986 --> 00:28:17,155
Run my card now, if you want.
I promise I'm good for it.
483
00:28:38,802 --> 00:28:40,512
Oh, attagirl.

We have a deal.

00:28:59,239 --> 00:29:02,075
You are an animal. [chuckles]
488
00:29:02,075 --> 00:29:03,785
I, uh-- I can't take him anywhere.
489
00:29:03,785 --> 00:29:05,704
[Zach] That's a joke. She'll be fine.
490
00:29:07,581 --> 00:29:08,707
I think we're done here.

00:29:37,152 --> 00:29:38,153
[sniffs]
494
00:30:12,354 --> 00:30:13,355
[sighs]
495
00:30:17,109 --> 00:30:19,236
- Oh, shit. [chuckles]
- Oh, Chris, hello. You having a good time?
496
00:30:19,236 --> 00:30:23,031
Yeah, just getting myself together.
Lots more suits to take selfies with.
497
00:30:23,031 --> 00:30:24,241
Well, thank you for that.
498
00:30:24,241 --> 00:30:29,371
It always helps for them to, uh-- to get
to see the stars up close, you know?
499
00:30:29,371 --> 00:30:33,166
Speaking of which, congrats,
Mr. New Board Chairman.
500
00:30:33,166 --> 00:30:35,210
[chuckles] Thank you. Thank you.
501
00:30:35,210 --> 00:30:38,463
Do you know, we-we haven't actually had
a chance to connect since, uh,
502
00:30:38,463 --> 00:30:40,132
Cybil's departure, have we?
503
00:30:40,132 --> 00:30:45,137
But I want you to know that it's
a whole new world at UBA.
504
00:30:45,137 --> 00:30:46,805
Right. I keep hearing that.
505
00:30:46,805 --> 00:30:51,435
Well, it's very important to us
that our ad partners hear that too.
506
00:30:52,019 --> 00:30:53,103
Mmm.
507
00:30:53,103 --> 00:30:56,982
Well, so with all this money that we're
pulling in this week for the network,
508
00:30:56,982 --> 00:30:58,275
where's it going?
509
00:30:58,984 --> 00:30:59,985
[stammers]
510
00:31:01,278 --> 00:31:02,654
What do you mean?
511
00:31:02,654 --> 00:31:05,490
Is any of it being used to address
the pay equity issue?
512
00:31:06,074 --> 00:31:10,037
Oh, have your l-lawyers not seen our
new contract proposal for your services?
513
00:31:10,037 --> 00:31:12,497
- Yeah. Marcus is still looking that over.
- Well--
514
00:31:12,497 --> 00:31:15,042
But I'm talking about people
who don't have lawyers.
515
00:31:16,168 --> 00:31:20,214
Like Layla, my producer. Julia,
our stage manager. People like them.
516
00:31:20,214 --> 00:31:25,427
Well... [chuckles] ...I can assure you,
it is an absolute priority for us
517
00:31:25,427 --> 00:31:27,763
to address that issue as an institution.
518
00:31:27,763 --> 00:31:31,475
That is what, uh, Cybil said.
[chuckles] Like verbatim.
519
00:31:32,267 --> 00:31:33,977
R-Right. Hmm.
520
00:31:35,145 --> 00:31:39,149
Since Jemima-gate,
I gained 200,000 followers.
521
00:31:39,149 --> 00:31:41,527
Maybe I should ask them
what they think about this.
522
00:31:42,110 --> 00:31:43,987
TV loves a focus group, right?
523
00:31:44,613 --> 00:31:46,073
- [stammers] Right.
- [chuckles]
524
00:31:46,073 --> 00:31:47,741
[stammers] I'll tell you what... [stammers]
525
00:31:47,741 --> 00:31:51,620
...it's a board meeting this week,
and I'm going to raise this issue.
526
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,082
- All right? Okay.
- Thanks.
527
00:31:55,082 --> 00:31:56,583
Thank you. Mmm.
528
00:31:58,168 --> 00:31:59,127
[chuckles]
529
00:32:05,217 --> 00:32:08,887
[stammers]
So, when you say you were kidnapped,
530
00:32:08,887 --> 00:32:11,557
do you mean
like you were kidnapped-kidnapped?
531
00:32:11,557 --> 00:32:13,058
Yeah, well, sort of.
532
00:32:13,058 --> 00:32:18,230
Uh,
my stepfather pulled me out of 9th grade
533
00:32:18,230 --> 00:32:20,858
and put me in one of
those wilderness reform camps
534
00:32:20,858 --> 00:32:23,485
where I was literally stuck in
a tent by myself for a month.
535
00:32:23,485 --> 00:32:24,945
Oh, my God.
536
00:32:24,945 --> 00:32:27,739
I thought you were gonna say guns
and cartel, not child abuse.
537
00:32:29,074 --> 00:32:30,534
Yeah. I mean, I don't know.
538
00:32:31,243 --> 00:32:33,620
Once I kinda figured out that no one
was really coming for me,
539
00:32:33,620 --> 00:32:36,665
I kinda got into it.
540
00:32:37,332 --> 00:32:40,919
No light pollution, no people,
being outside. Come on.
541
00:32:40,919 --> 00:32:43,130
Wow. That sounds divine.
542
00:32:43,130 --> 00:32:45,424
I would've loved that during the pandemic.
543
00:32:46,216 --> 00:32:47,217
Yeah. How about that?
544
00:32:47,217 --> 00:32:49,928
What was it like having Covid
with a camera in your face?
545
00:32:49,928 --> 00:32:51,930
Oh. [chuckles] You watched that, huh?
546
00:32:52,931 --> 00:32:56,268
Yeah. Yes, I did.
Me and the rest of America.
547
00:32:57,811 --> 00:32:58,854
Huh.
548
00:33:01,607 --> 00:33:03,984
- Mmm.
- What?
549
00:33:04,610 --> 00:33:06,653
Marks, I wanna make a deal with you.
550
00:33:07,404 --> 00:33:11,408
If I win this game, you reengage with UBA.
551
00:33:11,408 --> 00:33:12,993
Well, what happens if I win?
552
00:33:13,744 --> 00:33:15,704
[scoffs] You're not gonna win, but--
553
00:33:15,704 --> 00:33:16,997
- Really?
- Mmm.
554
00:33:18,165 --> 00:33:19,875
Okay.
Well, can you explain something to me?
555
00:33:19,875 --> 00:33:22,836
I don't understand why you
are fighting so hard for this place.
556
00:33:22,836 --> 00:33:25,422
From where I stand, it looks like
you could do whatever you want.
557
00:33:25,422 --> 00:33:26,590
You could go wherever you want.
558
00:33:26,590 --> 00:33:29,051
You could write another book,
you could start your own shop.
559
00:33:29,051 --> 00:33:31,220
And yet, here you are in Coney Island,
560
00:33:31,220 --> 00:33:33,847
playing a pinball game
in order to save UBA.
561
00:33:33,847 --> 00:33:36,183
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Ugh.
562
00:33:36,850 --> 00:33:38,310
- My turn.
- [groans]
563
00:33:44,191 --> 00:33:47,236
I don't know. Maybe I think
I owe them something, you know?
564
00:33:50,739 --> 00:33:51,990
Do you though?
565
00:33:54,076 --> 00:33:56,119
Well, yeah.
I'd like to finish what I started.
566
00:33:56,745 --> 00:34:00,207
We said we were gonna make a lot
of changes, and we are not there yet.
567
00:34:00,207 --> 00:34:03,293
And you could be a part of all of that.
568
00:34:04,962 --> 00:34:07,673
Well, I just beat your score.
569
00:34:09,216 --> 00:34:10,050
[scoffs]
570
00:34:11,552 --> 00:34:15,179
Listen. Let's just enjoy the day, okay?
571
00:34:18,641 --> 00:34:19,518
Okay.
572
00:34:22,020 --> 00:34:26,358
Ooh.
I think this might be the primary suite.
573
00:34:27,150 --> 00:34:29,069
- Do you think so?
- Well...
574
00:34:29,069 --> 00:34:30,696
No pictures or anything.
575
00:34:33,282 --> 00:34:35,242
Lots of character.
576
00:34:35,242 --> 00:34:38,411
[both laughing]
577
00:34:38,411 --> 00:34:39,830
[Laura] You seem better.
578
00:34:39,830 --> 00:34:41,581
I am, yeah.
579
00:34:41,581 --> 00:34:45,627
Uh, when you came to UBA the other day,
I was--
580
00:34:46,670 --> 00:34:49,130
- Uh, I lost it.
- [sighs] That was brutal.
581
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,216
[Bradley groans] Yeah.
582
00:34:52,509 --> 00:34:55,219
I wanted to ask,
that video never surfaced.
583
00:34:55,219 --> 00:34:58,182
And God knows those hackers
posted everything else.
584
00:34:58,182 --> 00:35:01,894
Yeah. I think Cory paid them to bury it.
585
00:35:02,519 --> 00:35:06,148
Our cyber guys connected with the hacker
or hackers.
586
00:35:06,732 --> 00:35:07,733
I don't really know.
587
00:35:09,735 --> 00:35:12,654
Well... [chuckles] ...that was nice of him.
588
00:35:13,947 --> 00:35:14,948
Yeah.
589
00:35:16,074 --> 00:35:17,743
Oh, I'm reading that too.
590
00:35:20,287 --> 00:35:21,288
Oof!
591
00:35:23,123 --> 00:35:27,169
Extra, extra firm.
Not a lot of sex happening here.
592
00:35:28,587 --> 00:35:30,547
I think that's his bed from the hotel.
593
00:35:31,256 --> 00:35:32,216
What?
594
00:35:33,217 --> 00:35:36,178
Yeah. I had that bed.
But different room, obviously.
595
00:35:36,762 --> 00:35:39,389
Cory bought his bed from the Archer Gray?
596
00:35:40,933 --> 00:35:45,229
I think Mr. Ellison misses having you
just down the hall from him.
597
00:35:47,481 --> 00:35:48,398
Laura.
598
00:35:50,901 --> 00:35:52,402
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.
599
00:35:52,402 --> 00:35:55,864
I just don't know why you would
say something like that.
600
00:35:55,864 --> 00:35:57,658
Bradley, I meant nothing by it.
601
00:36:01,245 --> 00:36:03,580
I think we should go back downstairs.
[sighs]
602
00:36:03,580 --> 00:36:05,832
I don't want people
wondering where we are. [sighs]
603
00:36:07,417 --> 00:36:08,418
Okay.
604
00:36:14,508 --> 00:36:15,843
[sighs]
605
00:36:17,010 --> 00:36:18,846
[people chattering]
606
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:31,567
I need a drink.
607
00:36:31,567 --> 00:36:33,235
Oh, my God. Chris Hunter.
608
00:36:33,235 --> 00:36:35,153
Okay. Hey, hey. Can I get your autograph?
Can I get a selfie?
609
00:36:35,153 --> 00:36:36,613
- I won't post it, I promise.
- Who? Me?
610
00:36:36,613 --> 00:36:38,448
The Rosa Parks of Legacy Media.
611
00:36:38,448 --> 00:36:40,826
Oh, please. [stammers]
You're in the back of the bus,
612
00:36:40,826 --> 00:36:43,912
then I'm the illegal alien cleaning
the office at night. Please.
613
00:36:43,912 --> 00:36:45,706
A tequila? Yeah? Okay.
614
00:36:45,706 --> 00:36:47,541
- Uh, two shots of tequila, please, friend.
- Coming right up.
615
00:36:47,541 --> 00:36:49,459
[in Spanish] Para tokenización...
[in English] ...right here.
616
00:36:49,459 --> 00:36:50,544
Come on. [chuckles]
617
00:36:52,462 --> 00:36:55,132
I just grilled Leonard about how slow
the company's moving
618
00:36:55,132 --> 00:36:57,426
- on the pay equity issue.
- That's probably 'cause UBA's broke.
619
00:36:58,343 --> 00:37:00,888
Yeah. I've never seen them
go all out like this, for reference.
620
00:37:00,888 --> 00:37:03,140
- Really?
- Yeah. But hey, that's not your problem.
621
00:37:03,140 --> 00:37:05,809
I mean, Leonard should be able
to walk and chew gum at the same time.
622
00:37:05,809 --> 00:37:07,311
I did kinda lightweight threaten him.
623
00:37:07,311 --> 00:37:10,272
The only thing these corporate
people understand is public pressure.
624
00:37:10,272 --> 00:37:12,232
Oh, the followers. Right, yeah.
625
00:37:12,232 --> 00:37:13,567
[stammers] Careful with that.
626
00:37:13,567 --> 00:37:15,903
- You don't want the tail wagging the dog.
- What do you mean?
627
00:37:15,903 --> 00:37:17,279
- [bartender] Your two shots.
- Thanks, bud.
628
00:37:17,279 --> 00:37:18,655
You know how social media can be.
629
00:37:18,655 --> 00:37:21,783
Before you know it, they're
a mob making you their poster child.
630
00:37:21,783 --> 00:37:26,580
Yeah, but I can mobilize them
and think for myself at the same time.
631
00:37:26,580 --> 00:37:27,748
I know, all right?
632
00:37:27,748 --> 00:37:29,750
Everybody does after your interview
with Cybil,
633
00:37:29,750 --> 00:37:31,084
- but it's not about that, Chris.
- Hmm.
634
00:37:31,084 --> 00:37:35,005
I just-- I-- I don't wanna see you
get dragged into the culture wars, okay?
635
00:37:35,005 --> 00:37:37,341
And believe me.
I speak from experience here.
636
00:37:37,341 --> 00:37:38,759
No good deed goes unpunished.
637
00:37:38,759 --> 00:37:40,052
Hmm.
638
00:37:40,052 --> 00:37:42,513
I guess we'll see. Won't we?
639
00:37:50,604 --> 00:37:51,897
[guests chattering]
640
00:37:56,610 --> 00:37:59,071
- Oh.
- [Cory] ...in another country.
641
00:38:00,739 --> 00:38:03,909
- Hey. I can barely hear you. Sorry.
- [André] Connection's shitty.
642
00:38:03,909 --> 00:38:05,536
Might take a minute to upload
all of the footage.
643
00:38:05,536 --> 00:38:06,745
I'm working off a BGAN.
644
00:38:06,745 --> 00:38:09,915
- Where are they evacuating the wounded?
- A military hospital in Donetsk.
645
00:38:09,915 --> 00:38:11,959
Russians are back to shelling
the shit out of this place.
646
00:38:11,959 --> 00:38:14,211
- I'm gonna just stay put for the moment.
- Are you okay?
647
00:38:14,211 --> 00:38:15,796
It-- It looks really bad.
648
00:38:15,796 --> 00:38:17,548
I'm below ground. I'm fine.
649
00:38:17,548 --> 00:38:19,591
As long as you can get
those pictures out there.
650
00:38:19,591 --> 00:38:21,218
Mia, the Russians.
It's not just a bombing.
651
00:38:21,218 --> 00:38:23,220
[sighs]
They're shooting civilians in the street.
652
00:38:23,220 --> 00:38:25,931
Jesus. Okay. Yeah. I-I hear you.
653
00:38:25,931 --> 00:38:28,016
Um, if it's okay with you,
654
00:38:28,016 --> 00:38:30,769
then I was thinking that I would
run these photos tonight.
655
00:38:30,769 --> 00:38:33,272
Just don't do anything
until I'm outta here, okay?
656
00:38:33,272 --> 00:38:34,481
[child crying]
657
00:38:34,481 --> 00:38:37,234
I gotta go. [sighs] This call's gonna
eat up too much bandwidth.
658
00:38:37,234 --> 00:38:39,236
Okay. Let me know when you're safe.
659
00:38:39,236 --> 00:38:40,529
- [phone beeps]
- André?
660
00:38:45,242 --> 00:38:46,326
- [sighs]
- [phone dings]
661
00:38:49,663 --> 00:38:50,873
Oh, my God.
662
00:38:52,583 --> 00:38:54,209
Holy shit.
663
00:39:16,273 --> 00:39:17,316
[exhales sharply]
664
00:39:20,777 --> 00:39:22,821
Ah. Excuse me one second.
665
00:39:22,821 --> 00:39:23,906
Of course.
666
00:39:27,451 --> 00:39:32,372
There she is.
UBA's assassin in athleisure wear.
667
00:39:32,372 --> 00:39:34,541
You live in a fucking terrarium.
668
00:39:34,541 --> 00:39:35,667
[chuckles]
669
00:39:35,667 --> 00:39:37,503
Wow. Hey, yeah.
670
00:39:37,503 --> 00:39:40,339
I guess they-they really--
They put you through the wringer, huh?
671
00:39:41,131 --> 00:39:42,132
I don't wanna talk about it.
672
00:39:42,883 --> 00:39:43,926
[exhales sharply]
673
00:39:44,468 --> 00:39:45,511
[stammers] Um.
674
00:39:46,220 --> 00:39:47,221
Excuse me.
675
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:49,681
Stella,
676
00:39:50,933 --> 00:39:53,185
you locked down the ad revenue,
which means we locked down the loan.
677
00:39:53,185 --> 00:39:57,064
Which means 22,000 employees
get to keep their jobs,
678
00:39:57,064 --> 00:40:00,984
their health insurance,
the roof over their heads.
679
00:40:01,902 --> 00:40:04,446
We just gotta sign the paperwork now.
680
00:40:05,531 --> 00:40:10,244
And UBA lives to fight another day.
681
00:40:12,871 --> 00:40:14,748
[chuckles, sniffs]
682
00:40:19,586 --> 00:40:21,129
[sighs]
683
00:40:22,130 --> 00:40:24,383
Who the fuck invited Fred?
684
00:40:29,096 --> 00:40:30,097
Excuse me.
685
00:40:46,321 --> 00:40:47,823
[Alex] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay.
686
00:40:47,823 --> 00:40:50,284
We are not leaving without
getting one of these.
687
00:40:50,284 --> 00:40:52,494
[Paul] Little fried dough for the road?
688
00:40:52,494 --> 00:40:56,373
- Yes, that's right. Oh, my God. Smell it.
- Smell better than they taste.
689
00:40:56,373 --> 00:41:00,002
- Oh, my gosh. This is my hangover cure.
- What can I get you, darling?
690
00:41:00,002 --> 00:41:03,505
I would love a funnel cake with
whipped cream and strawberries, please.
691
00:41:03,505 --> 00:41:06,258
And I will do the Oreo Lovers.
Heart attack waiting to happen.
692
00:41:06,758 --> 00:41:08,051
[Alex chuckles]
693
00:41:08,051 --> 00:41:09,803
- I know who you are.
- [chuckles]
694
00:41:09,803 --> 00:41:11,221
Hi, nice to see you.
695
00:41:11,221 --> 00:41:12,389
You're the cocktease.
696
00:41:13,807 --> 00:41:16,643
- I'm sorry. Wha-What did you just say?
- She's a cocktease.
697
00:41:17,144 --> 00:41:20,189
Mitch Kessler kills himself,
and I still gotta watch her on the news.
698
00:41:20,189 --> 00:41:22,024
Wow, you're a real ignorant piece of shit.
699
00:41:22,024 --> 00:41:23,317
- You know that, guy?
- Let's just go.
700
00:41:23,317 --> 00:41:25,819
You're just pissed
'cause your girlfriend cries "rape."
701
00:41:25,819 --> 00:41:28,322
No, no, no. I'm pissed
because you're being a fucking prick.
702
00:41:28,322 --> 00:41:30,741
I think what you meant to say is,
"Thank you." And you should apologize.
703
00:41:30,741 --> 00:41:32,784
- You understand me? Fuck you!
- Stop it, please!
704
00:41:32,784 --> 00:41:33,952
- Kidding me? Huh?
- Fuck you.
705
00:41:33,952 --> 00:41:35,245
- Fuck you. Fuck me.
- Stop it.
706
00:41:35,245 --> 00:41:36,830
- Enough.
- What are you f-- [stammers] ...crazy?
707
00:41:36,830 --> 00:41:38,582
- You have to listen to that shit?
- No. Thank you, but...
708
00:41:38,582 --> 00:41:39,833
[stammers] ...you just cannot engage.
709
00:41:39,833 --> 00:41:42,377
But doesn't that get to you though?
I mean, seriously.
710
00:41:42,377 --> 00:41:44,838
Some asshole like that can say
whatever the fuck he wants,
711
00:41:44,838 --> 00:41:46,673
and you just have
to sit there and take it?
712
00:41:46,673 --> 00:41:48,759
[stammers] It gets to me all the time.
713
00:41:49,927 --> 00:41:51,512
But that guy, he's not mad at me.
714
00:41:52,221 --> 00:41:55,516
He's mad at Mitch
for not being who he said he was.
715
00:41:56,058 --> 00:41:59,228
And I'm the one still here, so yeah.
716
00:41:59,228 --> 00:42:01,146
Strangers take a lot of shit out on me.
717
00:42:01,980 --> 00:42:04,274
Whatever they can't say
to their girlfriends or their wives,
718
00:42:04,274 --> 00:42:05,609
I'm the punching bag.
719
00:42:06,860 --> 00:42:08,529
It's okay. It's part of the job.
720
00:42:14,243 --> 00:42:16,537
Come on, let's get outta here. Let's go.
721
00:42:23,794 --> 00:42:26,380
- [Fred] Good to see you, Mark.
- [Mark] Give my best to Genevieve.
722
00:42:26,380 --> 00:42:28,882
All right, Mark. See you later. [chuckles]
723
00:42:29,925 --> 00:42:31,802
Fred Micklen.
724
00:42:31,802 --> 00:42:33,470
Crashing upfronts parties.
725
00:42:33,470 --> 00:42:36,390
Oh. [stammers] Retirement, right?
You got all that time on your hands.
726
00:42:36,390 --> 00:42:39,601
You probably get... [sniffs]
...pretty restless over there.
727
00:42:39,601 --> 00:42:42,479
You know,
I hear Zen gardens are very calming.
728
00:42:42,479 --> 00:42:47,860
Nothing like a little meditative raking to
soothe the restless, jobless soul.
729
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:49,987
- [chuckles]
- I missed you too, Cory.
730
00:42:50,696 --> 00:42:53,198
Hey, congrats on the house.
I know the previous owner.
731
00:42:54,116 --> 00:42:56,243
He's been trying to unload it for ages.
732
00:42:56,243 --> 00:42:57,911
[laughs] Gee, thanks.
733
00:42:57,911 --> 00:43:01,915
Yeah. I-I probably shouldn't have,
but I decided to splurge.
734
00:43:01,915 --> 00:43:04,710
You have to celebrate the victories,
you know?
735
00:43:05,294 --> 00:43:06,753
I do. I do.
736
00:43:06,753 --> 00:43:10,716
Though I hear Q1 revenue is down 23%.
737
00:43:11,717 --> 00:43:13,927
You're cutting back on programming
for UBA+,
738
00:43:13,927 --> 00:43:16,597
the, uh, incredible shrinking network.
739
00:43:16,597 --> 00:43:20,142
Fred, are you digging through my trash?
You're so obsessed with me.
740
00:43:20,142 --> 00:43:23,562
I told you a streamer was a fool's errand.
741
00:43:23,562 --> 00:43:26,982
You were late to the game,
and too many people wanted to play.
742
00:43:26,982 --> 00:43:30,319
We were late because you shot down
the idea at every fucking turn.
743
00:43:30,319 --> 00:43:33,488
So, thanks for that. Appreciate the help.
What are you doing at my house?
744
00:43:33,488 --> 00:43:35,574
I don't know.
I just love seeing you shake your tin cup
745
00:43:35,574 --> 00:43:36,909
for the spare nickel or two.
746
00:43:36,909 --> 00:43:39,661
I mean, since your little bromance
with Paul Marks didn't pan out.
747
00:43:39,661 --> 00:43:41,663
Does this look like
we are on the breadline?
748
00:43:41,663 --> 00:43:44,208
[sighs]
Breadline? Try debtor's prison.
749
00:43:46,001 --> 00:43:47,211
That loan you got today,
750
00:43:48,879 --> 00:43:53,133
Sloan asked me to keep an eye on it
since I know the lay of the land.
751
00:43:53,133 --> 00:43:54,218
Off the books, of course.
752
00:43:55,177 --> 00:44:00,390
Every major fiscal decision,
you're gonna be running by me.
753
00:44:02,559 --> 00:44:04,561
I'm your sugar daddy, Cory.
754
00:44:05,354 --> 00:44:07,689
You're gonna work for me. Again.
755
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:12,653
Well, as your sugar baby,
756
00:44:12,653 --> 00:44:14,947
I'm looking forward
to the wining and dining. [chuckles]
757
00:44:14,947 --> 00:44:17,658
You'll be wearing golden handcuffs
when I fuck you.
758
00:44:17,658 --> 00:44:18,742
[Cory chuckles]
759
00:44:18,742 --> 00:44:22,371
I'll send the papers to your office.
Hey, just wanted to give you a heads-up.
760
00:44:31,338 --> 00:44:32,339
How are you doing?
761
00:44:39,555 --> 00:44:42,182
Gayle says you wanna bump the Macron piece
for Mariupol.
762
00:44:42,933 --> 00:44:43,934
Hospital bombing.
763
00:44:45,352 --> 00:44:48,230
- [Stella] Oh, my God. Are these verified?
- [Mia] Yeah, they are.
764
00:44:48,230 --> 00:44:51,191
YDA's all over this story,
but these are exclusive to us.
765
00:44:51,191 --> 00:44:54,403
- Great. So, let's run it tonight.
- Yeah, I told the photojournalist
766
00:44:54,403 --> 00:44:56,822
that I'd wait until I got confirmation
that he was out of harm's way.
767
00:44:56,822 --> 00:44:58,323
I haven't heard from him yet.
768
00:44:59,366 --> 00:45:02,202
This is the guy who got us those photos
of Putin's inner circle, right?
769
00:45:02,202 --> 00:45:04,496
- Yeah. André Ford.
- He's a freelancer.
770
00:45:05,247 --> 00:45:07,916
So, he's assumed liability.
He's aware of the risk.
771
00:45:07,916 --> 00:45:10,794
The press has been targeted. These photos
could land him on a kill list.
772
00:45:11,420 --> 00:45:13,046
[stammers] I'm confused.
773
00:45:13,547 --> 00:45:16,049
Y-You wanna hold a breaking exclusive?
774
00:45:16,049 --> 00:45:18,302
Stella, a life is on the line.
775
00:45:18,302 --> 00:45:19,386
That's a job.
776
00:45:19,386 --> 00:45:21,972
He's doing it. So, you can do yours.
777
00:45:21,972 --> 00:45:23,557
These images are important.
778
00:45:23,557 --> 00:45:26,268
They can drive the conversation
about increasing aid to Ukraine.
779
00:45:27,394 --> 00:45:29,438
But it's your call, of course.
780
00:45:31,773 --> 00:45:32,858
Whatever you think.
781
00:45:34,318 --> 00:45:35,819
I'm gonna wait a little longer.
782
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:41,992
- Here.
- Hey, thanks.
783
00:45:46,330 --> 00:45:48,457
I'm sorry
if I made you uncomfortable earlier.
784
00:45:49,583 --> 00:45:50,918
Oh, no. It's okay.
785
00:45:52,044 --> 00:45:53,295
It's just confusing.
786
00:45:53,879 --> 00:45:54,880
What is?
787
00:45:55,881 --> 00:45:57,799
[sighs] Thinking about us.
788
00:45:58,967 --> 00:46:00,093
Being with you.
789
00:46:01,970 --> 00:46:03,972
I'm not asking for any of that.
790
00:46:05,140 --> 00:46:06,308
It's just good to see you.
791
00:46:07,017 --> 00:46:08,018
Oh, I know.
792
00:46:08,602 --> 00:46:12,397
And part of me just wants to run away
with you...
793
00:46:12,397 --> 00:46:15,108
- [chuckles]
- ...and leave all of this behind.
794
00:46:16,401 --> 00:46:21,281
And part of me remembers
how miserable I was.
795
00:46:21,865 --> 00:46:24,993
But it's not the same.
Uh, we're not the same.
796
00:46:26,078 --> 00:46:28,121
And you were going through so much.
797
00:46:31,124 --> 00:46:34,127
I wanted to be close to you.
798
00:46:39,508 --> 00:46:40,551
[Bradley sighs]
799
00:46:41,301 --> 00:46:44,471
- Not seeing many ad buyers up here.
- I was just taking a little breather.
800
00:46:44,471 --> 00:46:45,931
Well, you're still on the clock.
801
00:46:46,598 --> 00:46:49,518
Okay... [chuckles] ...boss.
I didn't realize I'd lost my time card.
802
00:46:49,518 --> 00:46:52,646
Ah, you are being asked
to drink free champagne
803
00:46:52,646 --> 00:46:55,274
and talk to the nice people
whose ads pay for your salary.
804
00:46:55,274 --> 00:46:57,860
- It's really not that hard.
- [stammers] Okay, okay.
805
00:46:57,860 --> 00:47:00,153
Is there somebody
you would like me to meet?
806
00:47:00,153 --> 00:47:02,364
Um, you know what? I should head out.
807
00:47:02,364 --> 00:47:05,367
- You have a lovely home, Cory.
- Thanks for dropping by, Laura.
808
00:47:10,706 --> 00:47:13,750
I'm really not asking that much
considering everything I've done for you.
809
00:47:22,509 --> 00:47:23,635
[sighs]
810
00:47:28,390 --> 00:47:29,391
Fuck.
811
00:47:29,975 --> 00:47:31,185
[sighs]
812
00:47:39,276 --> 00:47:40,736
Hey, it's Mia.
813
00:47:42,946 --> 00:47:45,908
I know it can take a while
to get to some place safe.
814
00:47:47,701 --> 00:47:49,453
God knows the Russians
are doing everything they can
815
00:47:49,453 --> 00:47:50,954
to knock out communications.
816
00:47:53,498 --> 00:47:54,499
Anyway...
817
00:47:56,627 --> 00:47:59,129
I just wanted to tell you
I hope you made it out of there.
818
00:48:02,382 --> 00:48:03,842
Call me as soon as you can.
819
00:48:09,473 --> 00:48:11,183
[inhales sharply, sighs]
820
00:48:20,651 --> 00:48:21,818
Hey, Gayle, it's Mia.
821
00:48:22,361 --> 00:48:25,572
Yeah, I-- I know everyone is standing by.
822
00:48:27,866 --> 00:48:29,076
Run the photos.
823
00:48:31,495 --> 00:48:33,080
No, I don't need to see the copy.
824
00:48:36,750 --> 00:48:38,085
Okay, thank you, Gayle.
825
00:48:40,587 --> 00:48:41,588
Good night.
826
00:48:47,177 --> 00:48:48,303
[sighs]
827
00:48:54,810 --> 00:48:56,186
[grunts, sniffs]
828
00:48:57,521 --> 00:48:58,897
Hey, you wanted to see me?
829
00:48:58,897 --> 00:48:59,940
[Cory] Yeah, uh,
830
00:48:59,940 --> 00:49:04,278
you know, the beautiful thing about the
human body is its capacity for survival.
831
00:49:04,278 --> 00:49:07,322
You can lose 40% of your blood.
Still keep going.
832
00:49:07,322 --> 00:49:09,241
After that you go into hypovolemic shock--
833
00:49:09,241 --> 00:49:11,618
[stammers] Wait, hold on. What are you--
What are you talking about?
834
00:49:11,618 --> 00:49:14,079
Didn't we just score, like, $8 billion?
835
00:49:15,539 --> 00:49:17,207
[sighs] So, Fred,
836
00:49:17,207 --> 00:49:22,045
he dropped by to let me know that
he is working for Sloan,
837
00:49:22,045 --> 00:49:24,173
consulting off the books.
838
00:49:24,173 --> 00:49:26,216
And we take that loan, he owns us.
839
00:49:26,216 --> 00:49:29,469
And then the Times, and then
the tabloids and Maggie fucking Brener,
840
00:49:29,469 --> 00:49:31,513
they'll find out that Fred is still
creeping around UBA.
841
00:49:31,513 --> 00:49:33,640
And then they'll own us,
and we'll be done, and--
842
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,350
So, you know.
843
00:49:35,350 --> 00:49:36,977
Okay. [sighs]
844
00:49:38,604 --> 00:49:43,859
Maybe next time do some due diligence
before you make me eat shit with Ellipse.
845
00:49:43,859 --> 00:49:45,194
Sorry.
846
00:49:45,194 --> 00:49:47,404
Yeah. [stammers, sighs] I should've known.
847
00:49:47,404 --> 00:49:50,741
- They wanted me by the throat.
- Oh, my God. I don't fucking believe this.
848
00:49:52,159 --> 00:49:54,077
[Cory] Sorry, Stella. And hey.
849
00:49:56,663 --> 00:49:57,873
I'm gonna find the funding.
850
00:50:01,084 --> 00:50:02,085
Good luck with that.
851
00:50:05,923 --> 00:50:06,924
[sighs]
852
00:50:09,176 --> 00:50:12,137
["Truth Hurts" playing]
853
00:50:27,945 --> 00:50:30,739
[helicopter approaching]
854
00:50:43,460 --> 00:50:44,962
[Chip] Who the hell is that?
855
00:50:45,504 --> 00:50:47,631
Ron Perlman lives next door.
856
00:50:48,715 --> 00:50:50,592
He abuses his air rights.
857
00:51:19,204 --> 00:51:21,373
Un-fucking-believable.
858
00:51:22,624 --> 00:51:25,377
Alex Levy brought home the kill.
