1
00:03:07,647 --> 00:03:08,899
Are you in trouble?
2
00:03:11,651 --> 00:03:15,447
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have come to your office.
3
00:03:15,530 --> 00:03:17,240
I shouldn't have done that.
4
00:03:17,324 --> 00:03:19,451
I just wasn't in my right mind, you know?
5
00:03:22,579 --> 00:03:24,873
What you were doing,
it just hurt me so much.
6
00:03:25,457 --> 00:03:28,251
Well, then,
I guess I should apologize to you?
7
00:03:29,252 --> 00:03:30,420
Where are my manners?
8
00:03:34,216 --> 00:03:35,258
I'm sorry.
9
00:03:38,637 --> 00:03:39,721
I'm an idiot.
10
00:03:42,224 --> 00:03:45,060
I wanted to hurt you.
11
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,273
I wanted to see you hurt
the way that you hurt me.
12
00:03:53,860 --> 00:03:55,612
Because I'm pathetic.
13
00:03:58,490 --> 00:04:02,410
I know I don't deserve another chance,
14
00:04:02,494 --> 00:04:04,079
but please give me one anyway.
15
00:04:07,624 --> 00:04:08,917
I'll go to rehab.
16
00:04:10,377 --> 00:04:15,590
I'll swallow whatever little bit of pride
that I have left.
17
00:04:15,674 --> 00:04:17,716
I will let you pay-- I will stay.
18
00:04:18,884 --> 00:04:22,430
I won't let Mom pull me out.
19
00:04:29,062 --> 00:04:30,438
I will fix it.
20
00:04:36,570 --> 00:04:37,654
Please.
21
00:04:59,801 --> 00:05:01,761
Look, there's nothing to be nervous about.
22
00:05:01,845 --> 00:05:03,263
It's fine.
23
00:05:03,930 --> 00:05:06,057
Just gotta sit there and take your lumps.
24
00:05:06,141 --> 00:05:07,893
I know what I need to say.
25
00:05:07,976 --> 00:05:09,561
Please let me do the talking.
26
00:05:10,186 --> 00:05:11,980
Hey, can you pull us around back?
27
00:05:12,063 --> 00:05:15,692
-This is fine. This is fine. This is fine.
-It's a zoo out here.
28
00:05:15,775 --> 00:05:19,446
Alex, Alex, right here.
How do you feel about Mitch's death?
29
00:05:21,281 --> 00:05:23,617
When was the last time
you spoke with Mitch?
30
00:05:31,082 --> 00:05:33,126
-Alex! Alex!
-Alex!
31
00:05:33,209 --> 00:05:34,294
Alex! Alex!
32
00:05:34,377 --> 00:05:37,505
Alex, I'm very sorry for your loss.
33
00:05:37,589 --> 00:05:39,758
I know you and Mitch
had a complicated relationship.
34
00:05:39,841 --> 00:05:41,968
It wasn't complicated. They were partners.
35
00:05:42,052 --> 00:05:44,304
One of them was a sexual predator
who was fired,
36
00:05:44,387 --> 00:05:46,181
and one of them suffered the consequences.
37
00:05:46,264 --> 00:05:48,141
And she just visited him? In Italy?
38
00:05:48,225 --> 00:05:50,060
It's a private matter, whatever it is.
39
00:05:50,143 --> 00:05:52,979
And you never would've known
if your employees hadn't committed fraud
40
00:05:53,063 --> 00:05:54,940
and hacked into her credit card and email.
41
00:05:55,023 --> 00:05:56,024
It's fine. It's fi--
42
00:05:56,107 --> 00:05:58,026
Alex has time off
written into her contract.
43
00:05:58,109 --> 00:06:00,737
It's unorthodox to have taken it so early,
but it's kosher.
44
00:06:00,820 --> 00:06:04,241
Doug, either you let us talk,
or you're going out in the hall.
45
00:06:06,159 --> 00:06:08,411
Alex, you're family.
46
00:06:08,495 --> 00:06:12,123
Well, you're closer than family, really,
because we chose to be related.
47
00:06:12,207 --> 00:06:14,084
And we'd never pay our family
25 million per.
48
00:06:14,167 --> 00:06:17,128
That means we love you, no matter what.
49
00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:22,133
If there is any backlash,
we will support you,
50
00:06:22,217 --> 00:06:24,219
and we will get you through this.
51
00:06:25,470 --> 00:06:26,471
Good.
52
00:06:27,347 --> 00:06:28,598
I'm giving it back.
53
00:06:28,682 --> 00:06:30,308
We're not asking for it back.
54
00:06:30,392 --> 00:06:32,185
Wait, what are you giving back?
55
00:06:32,269 --> 00:06:34,354
The money. I'm giving back the money.
56
00:06:34,437 --> 00:06:38,775
Coming back here was a big mistake,
and I can see that now.
57
00:06:38,858 --> 00:06:40,777
This isn't a decision you should make
while you're still--
58
00:06:40,860 --> 00:06:43,029
My mind is made up, Doug. Okay?
59
00:06:44,030 --> 00:06:47,784
I mean, keep your commission.
Absolutely understand that, but
60
00:06:48,702 --> 00:06:51,538
March 16th will be my last day at TMS.
61
00:06:51,621 --> 00:06:53,123
What about prime time?
62
00:06:53,206 --> 00:06:54,457
What am I missing?
63
00:06:54,541 --> 00:06:57,460
Maggie Brener's book comes out
on the 17th.
64
00:06:57,544 --> 00:07:00,964
And there's going to be
some damning information in there on me.
65
00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:13,977
Do you feel comfortable sharing?
66
00:07:19,566 --> 00:07:22,360
She doesn't. And there's a chance
that it never sees the light of day.
67
00:07:22,444 --> 00:07:24,529
YDA shelved their interview
with Maggie, so…
68
00:07:24,613 --> 00:07:27,240
Doug, Stella,
69
00:07:27,324 --> 00:07:29,409
would you give Alex and I
a minute alone, please?
70
00:07:29,492 --> 00:07:30,493
Okay.
71
00:07:32,829 --> 00:07:34,205
Look, Alex, you didn't--
72
00:07:34,289 --> 00:07:36,374
Doug. Come on. Outside.
73
00:07:37,167 --> 00:07:38,168
Thank you.
74
00:07:56,853 --> 00:07:58,230
I'm gonna be canceled…
75
00:08:00,190 --> 00:08:02,275
Cory, for things that I did.
76
00:08:03,318 --> 00:08:07,280
Well, unless I hear that you hurled
racial epithets or homophobic slurs,
77
00:08:07,364 --> 00:08:09,991
I'm not voiding your contract. Dude, no.
78
00:08:10,075 --> 00:08:13,203
So, why don't you go
get the back surgery out of the way?
79
00:08:13,286 --> 00:08:14,788
We'll let Laura fill in for you,
80
00:08:14,871 --> 00:08:17,999
and then you make
this triumphant return to prime time.
81
00:08:18,083 --> 00:08:19,918
I slept with Mitch.
82
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,217
Okay. Well, we have no idea
how this book's gonna play out.
83
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:29,344
He is a sexual predator.
84
00:08:29,886 --> 00:08:33,640
Your feminist hero slept with the enemy.
85
00:08:34,765 --> 00:08:35,892
Did it on purpose,
86
00:08:36,976 --> 00:08:38,061
not coerced,
87
00:08:38,979 --> 00:08:40,313
while married.
88
00:08:40,397 --> 00:08:43,441
And she doesn't regret it one bit.
89
00:08:44,776 --> 00:08:46,194
That's who I am.
90
00:08:46,278 --> 00:08:49,781
I don't want the money.
I'm done. I'm just done.
91
00:08:49,864 --> 00:08:52,742
You can give it to charity,
but you can't force me to take it back.
92
00:08:52,826 --> 00:08:54,619
Oh, God, Cory.
93
00:08:56,705 --> 00:08:59,207
You ever played pinball, Alex? Pinball.
94
00:08:59,291 --> 00:09:01,918
There are those bumpers on there.
95
00:09:02,002 --> 00:09:04,838
Their only purpose is
to knock the crap out of your ball
96
00:09:04,921 --> 00:09:06,089
and put you off your game.
97
00:09:06,172 --> 00:09:08,925
Now, the more punishment you take,
the more points you can rack up,
98
00:09:09,009 --> 00:09:11,887
but you can't pay attention to them.
99
00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:13,638
It's just noise.
100
00:09:13,722 --> 00:09:15,932
You gotta steel your nerves,
keep your eye on the ball
101
00:09:16,016 --> 00:09:18,768
because the game,
it's actually down at the flippers.
102
00:09:18,852 --> 00:09:20,937
And the flippers, they can send that ball
103
00:09:21,021 --> 00:09:23,106
flying up the ramp so fast,
it'll make your head spin
104
00:09:23,189 --> 00:09:26,651
and that's where
you score the real points.
105
00:09:26,735 --> 00:09:29,529
You just have to
let the flippers do the work.
106
00:09:32,908 --> 00:09:35,076
Thank you
for the very weird pep talk, Cory.
107
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,703
Okay, but sometimes,
108
00:09:36,786 --> 00:09:40,415
and just call it your dumb, silly luck,
109
00:09:40,498 --> 00:09:43,126
you realize that ball
is heading straight down the drain.
110
00:09:43,209 --> 00:09:45,170
It's completely out of the reach
of the flippers,
111
00:09:45,253 --> 00:09:49,216
and you think, "All right, well, I guess
that's the end of the road." Right?
112
00:09:49,299 --> 00:09:52,010
"It's my last ball,
and I'm plumb out of quarters."
113
00:09:52,093 --> 00:09:56,932
That's the moment
you conjure the strength of a mother
114
00:09:57,015 --> 00:09:59,059
whose baby is trapped beneath a Pontiac,
115
00:09:59,142 --> 00:10:02,604
and you tilt the fuck outta
that machine because you can.
116
00:10:02,687 --> 00:10:05,315
I am not taking the money back.
117
00:10:05,398 --> 00:10:09,361
I put my quarters in, and nobody's
gonna forget that I pulled the plunger.
118
00:10:10,111 --> 00:10:12,072
And I got balls left to play.
119
00:10:17,702 --> 00:10:20,330
You'll always have balls
left to play, Cory.
120
00:10:20,413 --> 00:10:21,539
It's who you are.
121
00:10:25,126 --> 00:10:27,796
I just wanna finish out my days
at The Morning Show,
122
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,175
and as I said, I'll be leaving
the day before the book comes out.
123
00:10:32,759 --> 00:10:33,843
So just take care.
124
00:10:33,927 --> 00:10:36,846
Take care of the show and yourself.
125
00:10:37,514 --> 00:10:38,640
Do what you need to do.
126
00:10:50,151 --> 00:10:51,361
Welcome back, Alex.
127
00:10:52,862 --> 00:10:54,114
Thanks, Jimbo.
128
00:11:05,041 --> 00:11:06,042
Okay.
129
00:11:08,378 --> 00:11:09,462
Oh, God.
130
00:11:11,423 --> 00:11:12,507
Yep?
131
00:11:13,884 --> 00:11:14,885
Hello.
132
00:11:16,136 --> 00:11:17,137
Hey.
133
00:11:17,220 --> 00:11:19,973
-Can I come in for a second?
-Yeah, of course.
134
00:11:20,891 --> 00:11:23,518
I'm sorry I left so abruptly.
135
00:11:23,602 --> 00:11:26,313
-Thanks for covering.
-Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's okay.
136
00:11:26,980 --> 00:11:28,648
-Yeah.
-How are you?
137
00:11:29,316 --> 00:11:31,902
I'm good. I'll be back Monday.
138
00:11:33,528 --> 00:11:35,822
Are you sure
you don't need a little more time?
139
00:11:35,906 --> 00:11:38,158
No. You know, they advertised you and me,
140
00:11:38,241 --> 00:11:40,619
and I think we should
give them you and me.
141
00:11:41,202 --> 00:11:42,203
Okay.
142
00:11:42,913 --> 00:11:44,456
I just-- I'm not here on Monday.
143
00:11:44,539 --> 00:11:45,916
I…
144
00:11:45,999 --> 00:11:48,376
I have to drop off my brother at rehab.
145
00:11:48,460 --> 00:11:49,961
No.
146
00:11:50,045 --> 00:11:52,380
I am so sorry
you have to deal with that again.
147
00:11:52,464 --> 00:11:53,924
Yeah. Thanks.
148
00:11:55,133 --> 00:11:57,302
Okay, so that means
it'll be me and Daniel.
149
00:11:58,345 --> 00:12:01,514
Well, Laura offered
to fill in for me on Monday,
150
00:12:01,598 --> 00:12:04,851
so maybe you wanna consider
coming back Tuesday instead?
151
00:12:06,061 --> 00:12:07,938
No, I'll be there.
152
00:12:08,021 --> 00:12:10,398
-I'll be there. I'll see you Tuesday.
-Okay.
153
00:12:11,858 --> 00:12:15,153
And maybe we could go get a drink
or something next week?
154
00:12:15,237 --> 00:12:17,614
I just-- I feel like when you came back,
155
00:12:17,697 --> 00:12:20,825
I had all these barriers up,
and it just wasn't fair.
156
00:12:23,745 --> 00:12:26,164
I would really love that. I would.
157
00:12:27,082 --> 00:12:31,878
But you might wanna distance yourself
from me a little.
158
00:12:32,837 --> 00:12:34,130
Distance?
159
00:12:35,590 --> 00:12:36,841
It's for your own--
160
00:12:37,717 --> 00:12:39,219
Yeah, just trust me.
161
00:12:41,763 --> 00:12:43,014
Are you okay?
162
00:12:43,098 --> 00:12:46,560
I'm gonna be fine. Thanks.
163
00:12:46,643 --> 00:12:48,353
-Have a good weekend.
-Okay.
164
00:12:48,436 --> 00:12:49,437
Okay.
165
00:13:00,490 --> 00:13:02,534
Ms. Kessler, I'm sorry for your loss.
166
00:13:03,368 --> 00:13:05,120
That's very nice. Thank you.
167
00:13:13,795 --> 00:13:15,797
-People do know I'm coming, right?
-They do.
168
00:13:15,881 --> 00:13:18,216
Some people will be there,
and some people won't.
169
00:13:20,594 --> 00:13:22,929
I have to do this, but it does feel weird.
170
00:13:24,306 --> 00:13:27,559
Hey, at least you're not wearing a mask.
I feel like Michael Jackson.
171
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:30,645
You have an excuse for being cautious.
172
00:13:36,067 --> 00:13:37,402
Is Mia avoiding me?
173
00:13:37,485 --> 00:13:39,154
She just had somewhere else to be.
174
00:13:39,237 --> 00:13:41,531
Hello, everyone,
can I have your attention?
175
00:13:44,409 --> 00:13:46,578
Thank you for letting me come in
and talk to you.
176
00:13:47,370 --> 00:13:53,168
For those of you who don't know me,
my name is Paige Jacobs, formerly Kessler.
177
00:13:53,919 --> 00:13:57,047
I know this is odd. An imposition.
178
00:13:57,130 --> 00:14:02,928
And I spent the last day
planning a memorial for someone I hate,
179
00:14:03,511 --> 00:14:06,556
calling the people
I thought might actually attend.
180
00:14:07,474 --> 00:14:08,475
Yeah.
181
00:14:08,558 --> 00:14:15,398
But my youngest asked me this morning
if all of Dad's friends would be there.
182
00:14:19,152 --> 00:14:21,613
Anyway, I'm here because I am a mother.
183
00:14:23,031 --> 00:14:27,744
Mitch's body is still in Italy,
so if that makes it easier.
184
00:14:28,453 --> 00:14:30,622
It'll be a week from Monday.
185
00:14:32,457 --> 00:14:37,045
I apologize if I offended anyone
by being here. Thank you.
186
00:14:37,629 --> 00:14:39,256
I know my way out.
187
00:15:27,554 --> 00:15:30,181
Why aren't we talking to Biden?
We should be talking to the winner.
188
00:15:30,265 --> 00:15:33,393
He did the Sunday show,
so we got Greg Schultz.
189
00:15:33,476 --> 00:15:34,895
Greg Schultz.
190
00:15:34,978 --> 00:15:36,563
Alex, welcome back.
191
00:15:36,646 --> 00:15:38,273
-Hi.
-Hey.
192
00:15:38,356 --> 00:15:39,733
Quick heads-up.
193
00:15:39,816 --> 00:15:41,401
Trying to get ahead of
this coronavirus thing,
194
00:15:41,484 --> 00:15:43,778
so we're going to put studios
in everybody's places.
195
00:15:46,615 --> 00:15:47,991
Studios in our homes?
196
00:15:48,074 --> 00:15:50,035
Yeah.
It's just in case the virus gets bad,
197
00:15:50,118 --> 00:15:51,828
-and it's not gonna be intrusive.
-Oh, God.
198
00:15:53,955 --> 00:15:57,542
Well, I just don't think it's necessary.
199
00:15:57,626 --> 00:16:00,045
But-- Excuse me.
200
00:16:00,128 --> 00:16:01,296
Sure.
201
00:16:02,881 --> 00:16:04,424
-Hey.
-Hey there.
202
00:16:05,300 --> 00:16:07,219
So, I…
203
00:16:16,019 --> 00:16:19,731
I didn't expect to see you today.
I hadn't heard from you.
204
00:16:22,067 --> 00:16:23,735
I wonder how that feels.
205
00:16:27,656 --> 00:16:32,369
Look, I'm gonna stick around
until you find someone new to produce you.
206
00:16:33,161 --> 00:16:34,287
Okay.
207
00:16:34,371 --> 00:16:37,958
Or until you get canceled.
You know, whatever happens first.
208
00:16:41,044 --> 00:16:43,588
-Hey, Alex.
-Hi.
209
00:16:43,672 --> 00:16:46,800
I just wanna make sure
before we head out there.
210
00:16:46,883 --> 00:16:48,301
We're professionals, right?
211
00:16:49,761 --> 00:16:50,762
Of course.
212
00:16:50,845 --> 00:16:53,223
-Great. I will see you out there.
-Okay.
213
00:16:53,932 --> 00:16:55,058
Oh, God.
214
00:17:08,154 --> 00:17:11,157
All right. Here we go.
215
00:17:11,241 --> 00:17:12,534
Yes indeed.
216
00:17:14,660 --> 00:17:17,622
I have a story that happened this weekend.
217
00:17:17,706 --> 00:17:20,500
So, if you don't mind just teeing me up?
218
00:17:20,583 --> 00:17:21,709
Definitely. Of course.
219
00:17:21,793 --> 00:17:23,253
Okay, people.
220
00:17:23,335 --> 00:17:26,381
In five, four, three…
221
00:17:29,384 --> 00:17:30,427
Roll 12.
222
00:17:30,510 --> 00:17:33,597
We just won,
and we've won big because of you.
223
00:17:34,306 --> 00:17:36,308
Good morning. Breaking news last night.
224
00:17:36,391 --> 00:17:40,979
After Joe Biden's decisive victory in
the South Carolina primary this weekend,
225
00:17:41,062 --> 00:17:43,982
former South Bend, Indiana,
Mayor Pete Buttigieg,
226
00:17:44,065 --> 00:17:45,984
dropped out of the race
for the Democratic nomination…
227
00:17:46,067 --> 00:17:49,362
Standby to roll, A. Roll A.
228
00:17:49,446 --> 00:17:53,909
…that I'm delighted to endorse
and support Joe Biden for president.
229
00:17:53,992 --> 00:17:56,912
Breaking overnight,
the second death linked to coronavirus
230
00:17:56,995 --> 00:17:59,331
on US soil has been confirmed.
231
00:18:00,498 --> 00:18:03,335
This doesn't even seem real,
this coronavirus.
232
00:18:03,418 --> 00:18:05,170
-It's out of control.
-I mean--
233
00:18:05,253 --> 00:18:08,632
You know, in '89, Ebola hit US soil,
and we never knew about it.
234
00:18:08,715 --> 00:18:10,175
It was in Richard Preston's book.
235
00:18:10,258 --> 00:18:12,052
-Yeah.
-It's unbelievable.
236
00:18:12,135 --> 00:18:15,013
Can you imagine if we have to
live through that all over again?
237
00:18:15,096 --> 00:18:17,682
-…with Alex Levy…
-Camera two, get ready to make your move.
238
00:18:17,766 --> 00:18:21,061
-…and special guest host, Laura Peterson.
-And cue Alex.
239
00:18:21,144 --> 00:18:23,939
Thank you all for joining us
this Monday morning.
240
00:18:24,022 --> 00:18:26,816
And thank you, Laura,
for joining us again.
241
00:18:26,900 --> 00:18:29,236
Finally getting my turn
to sit next to you.
242
00:18:29,319 --> 00:18:31,529
Well, it's a pleasure for me too.
243
00:18:31,613 --> 00:18:33,198
A busy news weekend.
244
00:18:33,281 --> 00:18:36,201
We're coming up empty
on those COVID-19 tests.
245
00:18:36,284 --> 00:18:37,827
What are you getting COVID tests for?
246
00:18:37,911 --> 00:18:39,788
Do you watch the news?
247
00:18:39,871 --> 00:18:44,501
And here to tell us what we can be doing
to help control the spread of coronavirus
248
00:18:44,584 --> 00:18:48,838
is UBA's chief medical correspondent
Dr. Gwen Zeegers-Bottum.
249
00:18:48,922 --> 00:18:50,549
-Hi.
-Hi.
250
00:18:50,632 --> 00:18:52,217
So the Surgeon General is right.
251
00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:54,261
Some people are surprised to find out
252
00:18:54,344 --> 00:18:56,096
how long they should be
washing their hands.
253
00:18:56,179 --> 00:18:57,973
So, let's do a demonstration.
254
00:18:58,056 --> 00:19:00,392
-Grab a little bit of soap.
-Okay.
255
00:19:00,475 --> 00:19:02,519
Get in there and really scrub. It's--
256
00:19:02,602 --> 00:19:04,229
You wanna get in the crevices.
257
00:19:04,312 --> 00:19:08,316
So the CDC recommends
we wash our hands for about 20 seconds.
258
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:09,401
For 20 seconds?
259
00:19:09,484 --> 00:19:12,904
And that's about the same length
as singing "Happy Birthday" twice.
260
00:19:12,988 --> 00:19:15,699
That is-- Laura looks shocked.
261
00:19:15,782 --> 00:19:18,076
Well, I mean, I am.
That's a really long time.
262
00:19:18,159 --> 00:19:20,203
It's a lo--
How long have you been washing your hands?
263
00:19:20,287 --> 00:19:22,497
-Thirty years, at least.
-Well, then you're--
264
00:19:22,581 --> 00:19:24,082
you're good.
265
00:19:24,165 --> 00:19:26,918
Hell has frozen over.
266
00:19:27,002 --> 00:19:30,046
Yeah. Well, why don't we make up
our own handwashing song,
267
00:19:30,130 --> 00:19:32,716
-and then we'll be royalty-free?
-Gosh. Okay, hit it.
268
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:34,801
-Okay.
-You start.
269
00:19:34,885 --> 00:19:37,137
Washing our hands on The Morning Show
270
00:19:37,220 --> 00:19:40,098
Clean, clean hands is the way to go
271
00:19:41,725 --> 00:19:44,185
When Dr. Gwen says to scrub
272
00:19:44,269 --> 00:19:46,187
You don't ever say "no"
273
00:19:46,271 --> 00:19:48,273
Yes!
So now let's get on with the show
274
00:19:48,356 --> 00:19:49,482
-One more time.
-Oh, my gosh.
275
00:19:49,566 --> 00:19:51,568
Washing our hands on The Morning Show
276
00:19:51,651 --> 00:19:53,486
Clean, clean hands is the way to go
277
00:19:53,570 --> 00:19:56,740
When Dr. Gwen says scrub
278
00:19:56,823 --> 00:19:59,159
-Don't say "no"
-Don't you ever, ever say "no"
279
00:19:59,242 --> 00:20:01,578
Now let's get on with the show
280
00:20:01,661 --> 00:20:03,663
Well done. Let's keep our day jobs.
281
00:20:20,472 --> 00:20:21,932
What do you think about this?
282
00:20:22,015 --> 00:20:26,061
I get out of treatment,
we go to Disney World.
283
00:20:26,144 --> 00:20:29,773
-That's for kids, Hal.
-Yeah, but we never got to be kids.
284
00:20:30,357 --> 00:20:33,526
I was just thinking about it in the car.
285
00:20:33,610 --> 00:20:35,987
You remember the one vacation
that we ever tried to take?
286
00:20:36,071 --> 00:20:39,449
Yeah, it was a nightmare.
Mom and Dad got wasted at Epcot.
287
00:20:39,532 --> 00:20:43,536
Yeah, but we'd do it right.
I mean, I won't be drinking.
288
00:20:43,620 --> 00:20:45,789
I can't get away like that. You know that.
289
00:20:45,872 --> 00:20:48,166
It was really hard for me
to get today off.
290
00:20:48,250 --> 00:20:50,544
-And I got Super Tuesday coming up and--
-I understand.
291
00:20:50,627 --> 00:20:52,671
It doesn't have to be that exactly.
292
00:20:52,754 --> 00:20:55,549
We'll just take, like, a long weekend,
you know?
293
00:20:55,632 --> 00:20:57,551
Cooperstown's around here.
294
00:20:57,634 --> 00:20:59,261
We could go to the beach.
295
00:20:59,344 --> 00:21:02,097
Okay, it would just give me something
to look forward to.
296
00:21:02,180 --> 00:21:03,515
Hal, can you just stop?
297
00:21:05,934 --> 00:21:09,479
I love you, but I'm not gonna be able to
see you when you get out.
298
00:21:10,855 --> 00:21:13,358
I'm not gonna be able to talk to you
when you get out.
299
00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:16,027
I just can't. I can't go backwards.
300
00:21:16,111 --> 00:21:19,155
It was hard enough for me
to get where I'm at, and I just-- I can't.
301
00:21:19,239 --> 00:21:21,783
And I can't even fix my own problems.
302
00:21:21,866 --> 00:21:26,204
And I want good things for you
and for Mom, but I just--
303
00:21:27,289 --> 00:21:29,332
I just don't think
it's a good idea to talk.
304
00:21:31,835 --> 00:21:33,128
No, you can't--
305
00:21:33,670 --> 00:21:36,047
You can't do that.
You can't leave me here.
306
00:21:36,131 --> 00:21:38,800
You said you wanted to get better.
This place is the best.
307
00:21:38,884 --> 00:21:41,428
I did all the fucking research.
Go in and get better.
308
00:21:41,511 --> 00:21:43,930
No, what is the fucking point
of going to rehab
309
00:21:44,014 --> 00:21:46,308
if my family's not even gonna be here
when I get out?
310
00:21:46,391 --> 00:21:48,518
What is the point of getting clean?
Fuck you!
311
00:21:48,602 --> 00:21:50,854
-Hal, I'm leaving. Don't follow me!
-I am not staying here!
312
00:21:50,937 --> 00:21:52,314
No, hey, hey. Hey!
313
00:21:52,397 --> 00:21:53,648
-I'm not fucking going in!
-Look--
314
00:21:54,232 --> 00:21:56,610
-God.
-I'm not fucking going inside.
315
00:21:56,693 --> 00:21:58,862
I can't make you go to rehab.
I hope you do.
316
00:21:58,945 --> 00:22:02,282
I want you to get healthy,
but I can't make you do anything.
317
00:22:02,365 --> 00:22:03,950
You are a grown man.
318
00:22:04,034 --> 00:22:06,286
I have paid for this fucking place. Just--
319
00:22:06,369 --> 00:22:08,955
Just figure it out.
I'm leaving, and you can't come with me.
320
00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:11,625
So, what,
you're just gonna fucking strand me?
321
00:22:11,708 --> 00:22:13,084
-I'm not gonna strand you.
-Your fucking brother!
322
00:22:13,168 --> 00:22:15,045
What do you want?
You want money? I have money.
323
00:22:15,128 --> 00:22:17,005
-No--
-Take it. Here's a few hundred dollars.
324
00:22:17,088 --> 00:22:19,758
I don't care about fucking money.
Just go home or something.
325
00:22:19,841 --> 00:22:23,428
Hey, how about I take this fucking money,
and I use it to buy drugs and OD.
326
00:22:23,511 --> 00:22:24,971
You'll never have to fucking see me again
327
00:22:25,055 --> 00:22:27,015
-because I'll be dead!
-Stop threatening me!
328
00:22:27,098 --> 00:22:30,018
Stop it! This is your life!
329
00:22:35,106 --> 00:22:37,150
Go in, don't go in. I don't kn--
330
00:22:37,234 --> 00:22:38,485
Just…
331
00:22:38,568 --> 00:22:39,778
This is your life.
332
00:22:43,073 --> 00:22:45,242
Figure out what you wanna do with it.
333
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,093
-The real at-risk group is the elderly.
-Sorry.
334
00:23:03,718 --> 00:23:06,513
And I want you to call me
if that back starts acting up again.
335
00:23:06,596 --> 00:23:09,266
I will. I will. Thank you so much, Gwen.
336
00:23:10,850 --> 00:23:13,311
-Do you mind?
-No. Be my guest.
337
00:23:15,897 --> 00:23:17,023
So…
338
00:23:22,153 --> 00:23:24,781
So, are you going to the Mitch thing?
339
00:23:27,492 --> 00:23:30,036
Do you remember that night
when a bunch of us went to see
340
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:31,997
Bring in 'da Noise, Bring in 'da Funk?
341
00:23:34,958 --> 00:23:38,920
It was you, and it was me,
and, Joe, Sydney…
342
00:23:40,213 --> 00:23:42,883
-Maggie--
-No, yeah. I remember.
343
00:23:46,761 --> 00:23:47,929
That was fun.
344
00:23:50,307 --> 00:23:52,559
Yeah. It was.
345
00:23:56,104 --> 00:23:59,274
Why don't you like me? What did I do?
346
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:04,362
You have no idea?
347
00:24:04,446 --> 00:24:06,573
No. No.
348
00:24:07,949 --> 00:24:10,869
All I know is one day,
you and I were friends,
349
00:24:10,952 --> 00:24:14,456
and then the next day, you pretended
like you didn't even know me.
350
00:24:14,539 --> 00:24:17,417
Really? 'Cause one day
I suddenly didn't like you anymore?
351
00:24:18,126 --> 00:24:21,213
Do you remember what was happening
around that time?
352
00:24:21,963 --> 00:24:26,176
Yes. I do. And it was really hard for you.
353
00:24:26,259 --> 00:24:28,053
And you needed your space.
354
00:24:28,136 --> 00:24:31,640
I needed my space? Did I tell you that?
355
00:24:33,516 --> 00:24:34,517
No.
356
00:24:36,353 --> 00:24:38,813
But we weren't really that close.
357
00:24:38,897 --> 00:24:42,317
Well, we were close enough to go and see
Bring in 'da Noise, Bring in 'da Funk.
358
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,070
I mean, you came to my house for dinner
a bunch that summer.
359
00:24:47,614 --> 00:24:50,116
Well, I was friends with your friends.
360
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,954
And I had just moved to New York.
I just knew that I had liked you.
361
00:24:55,789 --> 00:24:57,499
I was successful.
362
00:24:58,208 --> 00:25:00,544
That was pretty much
your only prerequisite.
363
00:25:05,131 --> 00:25:06,967
Wow. Do you really believe that?
364
00:25:07,676 --> 00:25:11,513
Well, we weren't really friends anymore
365
00:25:11,596 --> 00:25:14,391
after things went south for me, were we?
366
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:22,482
So all I know is that you moseyed in
on my friends, and you like to talk.
367
00:25:22,566 --> 00:25:26,361
And voilà,
the world knows all my private business.
368
00:25:30,824 --> 00:25:31,866
Yeah.
369
00:25:32,701 --> 00:25:37,038
I guess you're right. I did talk about it.
370
00:25:37,706 --> 00:25:38,957
It was gossip.
371
00:25:40,959 --> 00:25:42,419
Everybody talked about it.
372
00:25:45,547 --> 00:25:48,967
Boy, gossip seemed
so much less vicious back then.
373
00:25:50,635 --> 00:25:53,805
Well, that's because
nobody was gossiping about you yet.
374
00:25:56,892 --> 00:25:59,561
And I imagine
that you had no ill intent, but…
375
00:26:01,271 --> 00:26:02,564
we are our actions.
376
00:26:08,194 --> 00:26:09,195
Yeah.
377
00:26:14,451 --> 00:26:17,621
I wish we had
straightened that out sooner.
378
00:26:20,498 --> 00:26:21,708
What would you have said?
379
00:26:23,043 --> 00:26:27,214
If I asked you back then
if you were gossiping?
380
00:26:31,509 --> 00:26:33,637
I probably would have denied it.
381
00:26:36,514 --> 00:26:37,515
Yeah.
382
00:26:39,142 --> 00:26:42,562
Well, I really enjoyed
doing the show with you today.
383
00:26:46,107 --> 00:26:47,108
Really did.
384
00:26:48,151 --> 00:26:49,527
And it would've been fun
385
00:26:50,487 --> 00:26:52,697
to have been friends
over the last few years.
386
00:26:53,198 --> 00:26:54,908
I'm really sorry I screwed that up.
387
00:26:56,117 --> 00:26:57,118
Hey.
388
00:27:00,247 --> 00:27:01,831
I said shit about you too.
389
00:27:04,751 --> 00:27:06,753
Well, thank you for that.
390
00:28:28,627 --> 00:28:32,464
And in five, four, three…
391
00:28:35,091 --> 00:28:40,138
It's Tuesday, March 3rd, 2020,
and what a Super Tuesday it is.
392
00:28:44,809 --> 00:28:47,562
Now, my first guest
is a giant of television,
393
00:28:47,646 --> 00:28:49,606
a visionary, a humanitarian,
394
00:28:49,689 --> 00:28:52,651
and like all network executives,
a pinhead,
395
00:28:52,734 --> 00:28:53,985
but he's our pinhead.
396
00:28:54,069 --> 00:28:56,863
So please welcome UBA CEO
and the man who locked the door,
397
00:28:56,947 --> 00:28:57,948
Cory Ellison.
398
00:29:01,868 --> 00:29:03,119
That's right.
399
00:29:05,205 --> 00:29:06,831
Well…
400
00:29:06,915 --> 00:29:08,833
Swing it, daddy. Cory, welcome.
401
00:29:08,917 --> 00:29:10,627
Just shaking a leg for you.
402
00:29:10,710 --> 00:29:13,129
-Cory, I'm gonna jump right into this.
-Okay.
403
00:29:13,213 --> 00:29:16,299
Now, why a streaming service, and why now?
404
00:29:16,383 --> 00:29:18,843
-Why now? Well, now is when I live.
-Yeah.
405
00:29:18,927 --> 00:29:21,763
-And why a streaming service at UBA?
-Yeah.
406
00:29:21,846 --> 00:29:26,184
Because I believe in what we do, Peter,
and the power of content compels me.
407
00:29:26,268 --> 00:29:29,479
Wow. Well, Reverend,
can I ask you this question, then?
408
00:29:29,563 --> 00:29:31,856
Why is it that some people
refuse to get on board,
409
00:29:31,940 --> 00:29:33,942
-like this nitwit right here?
-Well…
410
00:29:34,025 --> 00:29:35,569
Is it just sour grapes, do you think?
411
00:29:35,652 --> 00:29:38,280
Everybody's entitled to their own opinion.
412
00:29:38,363 --> 00:29:40,198
-That's a shame.
-Yeah, but I do believe--
413
00:29:40,282 --> 00:29:41,950
Do you know the story
The Princess and the Pea?
414
00:29:42,033 --> 00:29:43,493
-Of course I do.
-Yeah.
415
00:29:43,577 --> 00:29:45,745
Yeah, that's the title
of the Donald Trump Russian sex tape.
416
00:29:47,163 --> 00:29:48,164
Right?
417
00:29:48,248 --> 00:29:49,749
This is a different one
that I'm thinking of.
418
00:29:49,833 --> 00:29:52,127
It's like all of these columnists
419
00:29:52,210 --> 00:29:54,963
think there's someone out there
hiding peas across the land.
420
00:29:55,046 --> 00:29:57,173
And if only they can be
the one to spot the pea
421
00:29:57,257 --> 00:29:58,717
and prove that they're so sensitive,
422
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,635
that it bruised them
and kept them up all night,
423
00:30:00,719 --> 00:30:02,888
then they can make
the world believe they're royalty.
424
00:30:02,971 --> 00:30:05,265
Only, they don't know where the peas are,
425
00:30:05,348 --> 00:30:09,185
so they just act bruised by everything
and hope they guess right one time.
426
00:30:09,269 --> 00:30:11,605
Well, you just took the words
right out of my mouth.
427
00:30:12,188 --> 00:30:15,525
Cory, are you at all concerned
about this Maggie Brener book?
428
00:30:15,609 --> 00:30:18,904
From what I've read,
it's unfortunate, to put it mildly.
429
00:30:18,987 --> 00:30:20,947
But as a network, I'm not concerned.
430
00:30:21,031 --> 00:30:22,032
In fact…
431
00:30:23,116 --> 00:30:27,120
I'd like to invite Maggie on UBA
or UBANC for an interview.
432
00:30:27,203 --> 00:30:29,581
We'd be happy to have her anytime.
433
00:30:30,665 --> 00:30:32,876
You heard it here, folks.
Think that's a scoop.
434
00:30:32,959 --> 00:30:35,128
And I don't even think
we're allowed to do those.
435
00:30:35,212 --> 00:30:37,714
We're gonna continue
to be in a lot of trouble,
436
00:30:37,797 --> 00:30:39,591
and there's gonna be a lot of hurt.
437
00:30:42,886 --> 00:30:45,472
Oh, my God. Meredith.
438
00:30:45,555 --> 00:30:48,934
Two times in two months, Meredith?
I mean-- What, are you stalking me now?
439
00:30:49,017 --> 00:30:51,436
Hey. Yeah, funny.
440
00:30:51,519 --> 00:30:52,854
How you been? You be--
441
00:30:55,732 --> 00:30:57,025
Yanko.
442
00:30:58,401 --> 00:30:59,402
What?
443
00:31:00,070 --> 00:31:02,072
I mean,
I can't believe I'm running into you here.
444
00:31:02,155 --> 00:31:05,325
What? I'm the one who told you
about this place.
445
00:31:07,744 --> 00:31:10,455
So, what are you--
I mean, what are you guys up to?
446
00:31:10,538 --> 00:31:12,415
We're about to head uptown.
447
00:31:12,499 --> 00:31:15,502
You know, it's okay.
I can meet up with you later.
448
00:31:15,585 --> 00:31:16,670
Unless you're busy?
449
00:31:20,507 --> 00:31:22,842
…for less than ten dollars.
450
00:31:22,926 --> 00:31:26,388
All right, so you're gonna receive
12 Whitetail Cutlery.
451
00:31:26,471 --> 00:31:28,598
It's been in our line for decades.
452
00:31:28,682 --> 00:31:31,726
I actually first started selling them
when I was doing shows.
453
00:31:35,063 --> 00:31:36,147
Hey.
454
00:31:37,274 --> 00:31:39,317
Do you want me to ask why you're not okay?
455
00:31:40,610 --> 00:31:42,404
No. Not really.
456
00:31:43,530 --> 00:31:46,157
I saw you on Bullard.
You were really good.
457
00:31:46,241 --> 00:31:47,367
Thank you for noticing.
458
00:31:47,450 --> 00:31:49,536
So you know how I offered
to have Maggie on.
459
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:51,288
Yeah. She accepted?
460
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,206
Will you do it?
461
00:31:54,124 --> 00:31:56,251
Interview her Monday night?
462
00:31:56,751 --> 00:31:57,878
The book's coming out,
463
00:31:57,961 --> 00:31:59,921
and I know
I said I'm not concerned about it,
464
00:32:00,964 --> 00:32:01,965
but I am.
465
00:32:02,549 --> 00:32:04,801
And I know Alex is too.
466
00:32:04,885 --> 00:32:07,429
We haven't read it yet,
but you'd get an advance copy.
467
00:32:08,513 --> 00:32:09,639
Why me?
468
00:32:11,516 --> 00:32:14,769
Because, Bradley, I know you'll be fair.
469
00:32:18,857 --> 00:32:20,233
Okay. I can do it.
470
00:32:21,985 --> 00:32:24,905
Thank you. I'll set it up.
471
00:32:24,988 --> 00:32:25,989
Bye.
472
00:32:33,872 --> 00:32:35,457
-Especially here.
-What time is it?
473
00:32:35,540 --> 00:32:37,375
-I don't know.
-I should go.
474
00:32:37,459 --> 00:32:40,086
Wow. I guess it got late.
475
00:32:40,170 --> 00:32:41,922
-I leave town next week.
-Come on.
476
00:32:42,005 --> 00:32:44,549
But do you maybe
want to get together again?
477
00:32:44,633 --> 00:32:46,468
-I don't know.
-It would have to be Monday.
478
00:32:46,551 --> 00:32:49,095
No. I can't Monday. I can do Tuesday.
479
00:32:49,179 --> 00:32:50,722
-No, that's the only day I can do.
-No.
480
00:32:50,805 --> 00:32:52,515
-Can you not reschedule?
-No, I really can't.
481
00:32:53,141 --> 00:32:55,227
Come on. What's so important?
482
00:32:56,061 --> 00:32:58,605
I'm going to a memorial service.
483
00:33:01,775 --> 00:33:04,110
You're not going to
Mitch Kessler's memorial, are you?
484
00:33:06,655 --> 00:33:07,864
I am.
485
00:33:07,948 --> 00:33:09,407
I am. I worked with him a long time.
486
00:33:09,491 --> 00:33:11,660
He raped my friend.
487
00:33:12,369 --> 00:33:15,872
-Okay. I'm sorry, all right?
-He raped Hannah.
488
00:33:15,956 --> 00:33:17,916
And you're memorializing him?
489
00:33:17,999 --> 00:33:19,751
I knew this was gonna be a loaded subject.
490
00:33:19,834 --> 00:33:21,795
That's why I didn't wanna bring him up.
Okay?
491
00:33:21,878 --> 00:33:23,880
How does not telling me
make it any better?
492
00:33:23,964 --> 00:33:26,216
No, it doesn't, but I-- Where you going?
493
00:33:26,299 --> 00:33:28,301
I can explain why it's important
if you give me a minute.
494
00:33:28,385 --> 00:33:30,053
He killed my friend!
495
00:33:30,136 --> 00:33:32,764
-He didn't kill her. She OD'd.
-I'm glad he's dead.
496
00:33:32,847 --> 00:33:37,477
I should only hope that Fred Micklen
and his 119.2 million aren't far behind.
497
00:33:37,561 --> 00:33:38,979
He might have to give all that back
498
00:33:39,062 --> 00:33:40,730
'cause Hannah's dad's suing him
and the network.
499
00:33:40,814 --> 00:33:43,775
I know. Who do you think's paying for it?
Hannah's dad?
500
00:33:45,402 --> 00:33:47,362
What? What are you saying?
501
00:33:47,445 --> 00:33:49,781
I was so horrible to her
the night she died.
502
00:33:49,864 --> 00:33:51,700
-I had to do something.
-Claire.
503
00:33:51,783 --> 00:33:53,577
You can't blame yourself
for what happened.
504
00:33:53,660 --> 00:33:57,080
-Don't tell me what to do. Thank you.
-What are you doing?
505
00:33:57,163 --> 00:33:59,791
What are you doing? Where you going?
Claire? Claire, come on!
506
00:34:10,385 --> 00:34:11,760
Buzz us if you need anything.
507
00:34:12,345 --> 00:34:15,097
And if you need to take a break,
we'll have someone walk you outside.
508
00:34:15,181 --> 00:34:16,432
Okay, great. Thank you.
509
00:34:42,208 --> 00:34:44,794
"Hurricane Alex
wasn't just the stuff of legend.
510
00:34:44,878 --> 00:34:48,465
It was the stuff of campfire horror story.
511
00:34:48,965 --> 00:34:52,469
Mitch Kessler and Alex Levy
were inseparable.
512
00:34:52,552 --> 00:34:57,432
Levy had a blind spot for him.
If Kessler did it, it couldn't be wrong.
513
00:34:57,515 --> 00:35:02,020
Nobody could have expected what Levy saw
when she opened his dressing room door."
514
00:35:02,103 --> 00:35:03,605
Oh, my God.
515
00:35:03,688 --> 00:35:06,524
"And it was in that Chilean hotel room
516
00:35:06,608 --> 00:35:11,780
that Kessler and Levy consummated
their on-air and off-air sexual tension.
517
00:35:12,864 --> 00:35:18,286
Everybody is flawed, but Levy is damaged."
518
00:35:24,501 --> 00:35:27,003
Do you know
if they're still doing Mitch's memorial?
519
00:35:27,087 --> 00:35:28,380
As far as I know.
520
00:35:29,965 --> 00:35:31,925
You know, I don't think it's a good idea
521
00:35:32,008 --> 00:35:34,052
for you to be in a crowded place
right now.
522
00:35:34,135 --> 00:35:36,304
And I don't think you owe it to Mitch.
523
00:35:36,388 --> 00:35:38,807
It's not your job to protect me anymore.
524
00:35:48,483 --> 00:35:50,986
Mitch never stopped loving baseball.
525
00:35:52,237 --> 00:35:56,366
And I'd like to think
that's he's with his mom and dad now…
526
00:35:58,451 --> 00:35:59,452
stealing home.
527
00:36:00,912 --> 00:36:04,124
Let's all celebrate.
528
00:36:04,207 --> 00:36:06,543
Be happy remembering Mitch.
529
00:36:09,546 --> 00:36:10,881
God bless you, Mitchy.
530
00:36:15,427 --> 00:36:16,845
With love, Uncle Mike.
531
00:36:27,606 --> 00:36:30,817
You know, I know everyone wants to pretend
532
00:36:32,110 --> 00:36:38,491
that death isn't the most
profoundly sad thing to befall a life.
533
00:36:39,659 --> 00:36:44,581
And everyone wants to laugh
and dance and sing and have fun, and--
534
00:36:45,832 --> 00:36:47,876
'Cause Mitch would've wanted it that way.
535
00:36:49,127 --> 00:36:51,671
This is a celebration of life, isn't it?
536
00:36:53,340 --> 00:36:54,799
I have to tell you…
537
00:36:56,676 --> 00:36:58,803
that it turns my stomach.
538
00:37:02,182 --> 00:37:05,227
Because if any of you had cared
539
00:37:06,311 --> 00:37:09,773
remotely what Mitch wanted,
540
00:37:11,608 --> 00:37:14,319
do you know when the time
would've been to share it?
541
00:37:16,488 --> 00:37:19,241
I don't know.
How about when he was still alive?
542
00:37:19,324 --> 00:37:21,910
-That's enough!
-A heckler.
543
00:37:23,245 --> 00:37:27,249
Why are you so scared
of someone speaking his mind?
544
00:37:27,749 --> 00:37:28,959
Now,
545
00:37:30,335 --> 00:37:35,340
listen, Mitch was not a perfect person.
546
00:37:37,217 --> 00:37:39,928
He wasn't a great driver, for example.
547
00:37:42,889 --> 00:37:45,225
Oh, boy. I know. Too soon.
548
00:37:47,519 --> 00:37:49,688
You know who would've laughed at that?
549
00:37:52,983 --> 00:37:55,610
Young Mitchell would've laughed at that.
550
00:37:57,487 --> 00:38:01,032
Maybe the world has to
stop playing games with people's lives.
551
00:38:01,616 --> 00:38:04,119
Maybe they have to stop judging people
552
00:38:04,953 --> 00:38:09,207
for ordering something
from a different page of the sexual menu.
553
00:38:10,750 --> 00:38:14,421
Stop treating people
like single-use plastic,
554
00:38:14,504 --> 00:38:16,423
because you may never see them again.
555
00:38:17,924 --> 00:38:24,306
But there is a mountain of dead reprobates
somewhere in the Orient.
556
00:38:24,973 --> 00:38:30,186
And, someday, each and every one
of our death certificates will read,
557
00:38:30,270 --> 00:38:34,900
"Cause of death: cancel culture."
558
00:38:35,901 --> 00:38:36,902
God.
559
00:38:38,778 --> 00:38:42,115
I'm so sorry this happened to you, Mitch.
560
00:38:46,202 --> 00:38:47,621
I'm so sorry…
561
00:38:52,167 --> 00:38:57,797
that we never got to make our peace.
562
00:39:00,175 --> 00:39:01,676
You were a good friend to me…
563
00:39:04,095 --> 00:39:05,597
for a long time.
564
00:39:07,891 --> 00:39:09,392
A long time.
565
00:39:17,359 --> 00:39:18,443
Fuck 'em!
566
00:40:07,075 --> 00:40:08,076
Hi.
567
00:40:09,828 --> 00:40:12,664
Paola. I'm so glad you made it.
568
00:40:12,747 --> 00:40:15,458
-Thank you. Thank you for the flight.
-Of course.
569
00:40:15,542 --> 00:40:19,921
It feels sort of funny to be here
at his funeral when he isn't.
570
00:40:20,672 --> 00:40:24,634
Crazy world,
but I'm glad there is one friendly face.
571
00:40:27,721 --> 00:40:29,848
Actually, Mitch--
572
00:40:29,931 --> 00:40:30,932
I promised Mitch
573
00:40:31,016 --> 00:40:35,687
that I would introduce you
to the right people in the business
574
00:40:35,770 --> 00:40:36,938
when you're ready.
575
00:40:37,022 --> 00:40:41,651
Well, I've thrown myself into my work
since Mitch died.
576
00:40:41,735 --> 00:40:43,653
But I'm not ready yet.
577
00:40:44,863 --> 00:40:47,073
It's been a very emotional time,
578
00:40:47,157 --> 00:40:49,618
and I'll let you know
when I come up for air.
579
00:40:50,452 --> 00:40:52,579
Okay. Well, I just don't know
580
00:40:53,413 --> 00:40:55,832
how long people are gonna be
returning my phone calls.
581
00:40:55,916 --> 00:40:59,211
So you might wanna come up for air
a little bit quicker.
582
00:40:59,294 --> 00:41:00,962
Okay. Thank you.
583
00:41:01,046 --> 00:41:03,340
-Excuse me for a second, okay?
-Of course. Of course.
584
00:41:07,594 --> 00:41:08,595
Excuse me.
585
00:41:09,971 --> 00:41:12,515
I'm so sorry to interrupt.
586
00:41:15,936 --> 00:41:17,187
I wasn't gonna come, but
587
00:41:18,772 --> 00:41:22,025
I just kept feeling that I had to
588
00:41:23,902 --> 00:41:29,282
and to say a few words about Mitch
589
00:41:29,991 --> 00:41:31,534
and what he meant to me.
590
00:41:32,661 --> 00:41:34,329
Paige, please bear with me.
591
00:41:45,257 --> 00:41:46,633
Some--
592
00:41:51,888 --> 00:41:53,014
Sorry.
593
00:41:55,433 --> 00:41:57,644
Some people are just never satisfied.
594
00:41:59,479 --> 00:42:00,480
And…
595
00:42:03,108 --> 00:42:05,068
by satisfied, I mean fulfilled.
596
00:42:05,652 --> 00:42:08,488
I include myself in that group.
597
00:42:17,622 --> 00:42:18,665
You should--
598
00:42:18,748 --> 00:42:21,376
And it's always a "should."
It always starts with a "should."
599
00:42:22,544 --> 00:42:24,963
You should always be striving for more.
600
00:42:25,046 --> 00:42:29,009
You should always strive
to get to that next rung of the ladder.
601
00:42:29,676 --> 00:42:33,346
Should always just keep wanting more.
602
00:42:38,852 --> 00:42:44,691
But if you just spend all of your time
wanting more, striving for more,
603
00:42:46,026 --> 00:42:48,320
you don't spend any of your time…
604
00:42:50,697 --> 00:42:51,698
living.
605
00:43:00,332 --> 00:43:05,962
Mitch made unforgivable choices.
606
00:43:09,007 --> 00:43:10,091
And…
607
00:43:12,093 --> 00:43:14,179
Yes. Yeah.
608
00:43:14,262 --> 00:43:17,098
I went to see Mitch in Italy.
609
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,231
I saw him the day he died.
610
00:43:28,526 --> 00:43:30,237
And I wanted you to know that
611
00:43:31,571 --> 00:43:36,201
he was really starting
to understand the effects of his actions.
612
00:43:39,037 --> 00:43:42,165
He was remorseful.
613
00:43:45,961 --> 00:43:49,089
He wanted to do better.
He wanted to be better.
614
00:43:51,550 --> 00:43:55,971
And I know that's not enough.
And it will never, ever be enough. Ever.
615
00:43:57,055 --> 00:43:59,599
But I just wanted you to know that.
616
00:44:04,854 --> 00:44:07,691
And I also wanted him
to be remembered for that too.
617
00:44:13,029 --> 00:44:15,657
Mitch had a beautiful family
618
00:44:15,740 --> 00:44:18,702
with two beautiful boys
and a wife he knew he did not deserve.
619
00:44:21,246 --> 00:44:22,247
Paige.
620
00:44:24,165 --> 00:44:26,126
I'm just so sorry for all of it.
621
00:44:39,389 --> 00:44:41,182
Well, you tell me.
622
00:44:41,266 --> 00:44:46,271
That day I interviewed you last year,
I also went to a fundraiser at Alex Levy's
623
00:44:46,354 --> 00:44:49,482
where she told me that she had coached you
624
00:44:49,566 --> 00:44:52,360
on how best
to get to Ashley Brown's truth.
625
00:44:52,444 --> 00:44:56,990
She was positioning herself
as sort of a paragon of feminism.
626
00:44:57,490 --> 00:44:59,701
You're the truth-teller. Was that true?
627
00:45:01,828 --> 00:45:02,996
Not exactly.
628
00:45:04,414 --> 00:45:05,624
There you go.
629
00:45:05,707 --> 00:45:07,834
Are you watching this? Alex?
630
00:45:08,460 --> 00:45:10,879
Alex? You've gotta call me back.
631
00:45:13,632 --> 00:45:15,300
Do you know how I got this job?
632
00:45:16,384 --> 00:45:18,511
I have some sense of it.
633
00:45:18,595 --> 00:45:20,472
Yeah, I think you do.
634
00:45:20,555 --> 00:45:21,973
But you didn't put it in the book.
635
00:45:22,057 --> 00:45:24,184
Well, you can't include everything.
636
00:45:24,768 --> 00:45:26,561
I was actually kinda disappointed.
637
00:45:26,645 --> 00:45:28,688
I wonder if you wanna break it here.
638
00:45:28,772 --> 00:45:30,857
It's a pretty interesting story,
don't you think?
639
00:45:30,941 --> 00:45:33,235
Please, feel free. In your own words.
640
00:45:33,318 --> 00:45:37,239
Okay. In my vaguest recollection,
641
00:45:37,322 --> 00:45:41,952
you were not even of the remotest
consideration to replace Mitch.
642
00:45:42,577 --> 00:45:45,080
-And then what happened?
-And then Alex Levy,
643
00:45:45,163 --> 00:45:48,458
in a game of cat and mouse
that she often believes she's playing,
644
00:45:48,541 --> 00:45:52,963
announced you completely out of nowhere
to be her coanchor.
645
00:45:53,505 --> 00:45:57,300
And it absolutely shocked everybody
at the network,
646
00:45:57,384 --> 00:46:00,595
but Alex had backed them all
into a corner,
647
00:46:00,679 --> 00:46:03,265
and there was nothing they could do
to get rid of you. So…
648
00:46:04,224 --> 00:46:06,434
See, that's an interesting story.
649
00:46:06,935 --> 00:46:07,936
And it's true.
650
00:46:08,853 --> 00:46:10,105
So, why didn't you print it?
651
00:46:10,188 --> 00:46:12,983
Okay. If you wanna do this.
652
00:46:13,483 --> 00:46:15,610
You did lie when I interviewed you.
653
00:46:15,694 --> 00:46:20,615
You didn't say any of what I just said,
which you are now admitting to be true.
654
00:46:21,324 --> 00:46:23,493
No, you're right. I guess I lied.
655
00:46:23,577 --> 00:46:26,079
And I didn't want people
knowing my private business.
656
00:46:26,162 --> 00:46:28,832
-Yeah, well…
-Doesn't make me look very good right now.
657
00:46:29,583 --> 00:46:32,002
But I do think
I've been doing a pretty good job,
658
00:46:32,085 --> 00:46:35,005
and I wouldn't have had that opportunity
if it wasn't for her.
659
00:46:38,174 --> 00:46:40,719
I wonder why so much
of your book is dedicated
660
00:46:40,802 --> 00:46:44,431
to Alex and Mitch Kessler's
consensual relationship.
661
00:46:45,015 --> 00:46:48,018
I mean, sure, it's an extramarital affair.
I see that.
662
00:46:48,101 --> 00:46:51,104
But, at this point,
that feels sort of quaint.
663
00:46:51,187 --> 00:46:54,482
And there are a myriad terrible things
that Mitch has done that you say in here,
664
00:46:54,566 --> 00:46:56,484
and those seem like fair game.
665
00:46:58,153 --> 00:47:00,238
But why rope Alex into it?
666
00:47:00,780 --> 00:47:03,992
I mean, did you have
something personal against Alex Levy?
667
00:47:04,075 --> 00:47:05,619
No, no, no. No, I don't.
668
00:47:06,411 --> 00:47:07,704
In fact, I…
669
00:47:08,496 --> 00:47:11,750
I held some things back
because they seemed unkind.
670
00:47:11,833 --> 00:47:13,376
Really? Wow. I mean,
671
00:47:13,460 --> 00:47:16,671
-I hear you saying that, but--
-Okay, you wanna push me?
672
00:47:16,755 --> 00:47:18,048
I'll play.
673
00:47:18,131 --> 00:47:21,051
Just last month, I was in Las Vegas,
where I know you were too.
674
00:47:21,134 --> 00:47:23,053
-Good job on the debate, by the way.
-Thank you.
675
00:47:23,136 --> 00:47:25,805
And I was sitting in my hotel room
late at night,
676
00:47:25,889 --> 00:47:30,268
this is the night before the debate,
just minding my own business,
677
00:47:31,186 --> 00:47:35,440
when suddenly,
your coanchor began knocking on my door,
678
00:47:36,107 --> 00:47:38,026
losing her mind.
679
00:47:41,947 --> 00:47:42,948
Alex?
680
00:47:43,990 --> 00:47:46,826
-She was losing her mind?
-Losing her mind.
681
00:47:47,369 --> 00:47:49,913
I say that with no judgment.
It was a fact.
682
00:47:52,666 --> 00:47:54,918
She wanted to know
if I had an extra copy of my book.
683
00:47:55,001 --> 00:47:56,169
I said I did not.
684
00:47:57,879 --> 00:47:59,923
Well, did she say why?
685
00:48:00,674 --> 00:48:02,217
She wanted to know if I had included
686
00:48:02,300 --> 00:48:04,803
the part about
her sleeping with Mitch Kessler.
687
00:48:05,804 --> 00:48:07,973
I told her I had.
688
00:48:09,015 --> 00:48:11,017
And what did she want you to do?
689
00:48:11,601 --> 00:48:12,894
To take it out.
690
00:48:18,483 --> 00:48:21,861
So, a woman that you have known
for a very long time
691
00:48:21,945 --> 00:48:25,490
came to you in major distress
over a mistake
692
00:48:25,574 --> 00:48:27,409
that she made how many years ago?
693
00:48:27,492 --> 00:48:29,035
Ten, but she's a journalist. So…
694
00:48:29,119 --> 00:48:32,914
Okay. Well, it was a mistake
that happened ten years ago.
695
00:48:33,498 --> 00:48:37,544
And she was in major distress,
and she asked you to take it out,
696
00:48:37,627 --> 00:48:39,713
and you published it anyway?
697
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,050
Who's the worst person
you ever slept with, Maggie?
698
00:48:44,134 --> 00:48:45,176
I'm just curious.
699
00:48:45,260 --> 00:48:46,970
How terrible of a person are you?
700
00:48:49,556 --> 00:48:50,557
Bradley,
701
00:48:51,308 --> 00:48:57,689
my book is about a corrupt network
hiding sexual misconduct.
702
00:48:57,772 --> 00:49:01,109
Just a litany of inappropriate behavior.
703
00:49:01,192 --> 00:49:06,448
And, yes, there are plenty of stories
that also show you the real Alex Levy.
704
00:49:06,531 --> 00:49:09,659
I agree. And you do hold
the network accountable,
705
00:49:09,743 --> 00:49:13,288
but it's interesting
that Alex is the cover of this book.
706
00:49:13,997 --> 00:49:17,500
And this Alex Levy is
the woman who gave me my career.
707
00:49:17,584 --> 00:49:18,877
Pretty nice of her, isn't it?
708
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,671
But she didn't do it for you, Bradley.
She did it for her.
709
00:49:21,755 --> 00:49:25,175
Well, you don't get to where she is
by making other people's lunch.
710
00:49:25,258 --> 00:49:26,509
I know you know that.
711
00:49:27,093 --> 00:49:28,637
I mean, you're sitting here
712
00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:31,973
because you are publicizing
a very high-profile book
713
00:49:32,057 --> 00:49:36,519
with stories from five, ten, 15 years ago.
714
00:49:36,603 --> 00:49:40,857
But the one story you didn't publish
was the story of a changed woman,
715
00:49:40,941 --> 00:49:45,987
who came to you and begged for mercy,
and you declined.
716
00:49:47,030 --> 00:49:50,951
Instead,
you put her on the cover of your book.
717
00:49:52,494 --> 00:49:55,038
Now, you do know
that Alex and I broke the story
718
00:49:55,121 --> 00:49:57,666
about Fred Micklen
right here on this network.
719
00:49:57,749 --> 00:50:01,002
That we risked our careers
just to get the truth out there.
720
00:50:02,629 --> 00:50:05,632
Yeah, I know you know
because we scooped you, didn't we?
721
00:50:05,715 --> 00:50:07,008
Rightly so.
722
00:50:09,010 --> 00:50:11,346
There's a lot of stories
about Alex Levy in this book,
723
00:50:12,347 --> 00:50:14,474
but I think that's the old Alex Levy.
724
00:50:15,058 --> 00:50:17,811
And I think that people change.
725
00:50:18,895 --> 00:50:20,230
I think people grow.
726
00:50:20,814 --> 00:50:24,317
I know I'm evolving. I wonder if you are.
727
00:50:27,112 --> 00:50:29,864
I'm being told
that it's time for a commercial.
728
00:50:29,948 --> 00:50:33,285
But we will be back
with more Maggie Brener.
729
00:50:47,716 --> 00:50:50,218
What on earth?
730
00:50:58,935 --> 00:51:00,270
You gotta be kidding me.
731
00:51:04,816 --> 00:51:06,276
Thank God.
732
00:51:07,068 --> 00:51:08,320
Oh, God.
733
00:51:14,159 --> 00:51:15,952
Oh, God.
734
00:51:16,036 --> 00:51:18,163
You're an interesting girl, Bradley.
735
00:51:19,372 --> 00:51:21,249
What's so interesting about me?
736
00:51:22,083 --> 00:51:24,419
Well, you know, a couple of months ago
when we first met,
737
00:51:24,502 --> 00:51:28,632
all you talked about was
how much you didn't like Alex
738
00:51:28,715 --> 00:51:29,883
and that she was unfair.
739
00:51:29,966 --> 00:51:32,260
No. I didn't say I didn't like Alex.
740
00:51:32,344 --> 00:51:33,511
Well, close enough.
741
00:51:33,595 --> 00:51:37,766
But the point is,
tonight you had the chance to bury her,
742
00:51:38,266 --> 00:51:41,645
but instead, you went
so far out of your way to defend her.
743
00:51:41,728 --> 00:51:44,064
And in the process,
you buried the person who wrote the book
744
00:51:44,147 --> 00:51:46,316
that had everything in it
you wanted exposed.
745
00:51:47,317 --> 00:51:49,194
How does any of that make sense?
746
00:51:49,277 --> 00:51:51,363
Well, I do believe everything I said.
747
00:51:51,988 --> 00:51:55,158
I just-- I really don't feel
like Maggie was being fair.
748
00:51:55,242 --> 00:51:58,411
And how I feel about Alex is
of minor relevance.
749
00:51:58,995 --> 00:52:01,581
Well, it was pretty goddamn impressive.
750
00:52:02,082 --> 00:52:04,167
You are impressive in a lot of ways.
751
00:52:04,751 --> 00:52:07,003
Thank you. That's better than interesting.
752
00:52:13,051 --> 00:52:17,681
You know, with my heart condition
and COVID,
753
00:52:17,764 --> 00:52:23,103
I'm gonna go to my place
in Montana for a month or two,
754
00:52:23,186 --> 00:52:25,146
whenever this is over.
755
00:52:25,772 --> 00:52:30,819
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, sure. That makes sense.
756
00:52:32,821 --> 00:52:35,657
But I'm gonna miss you. A lot.
757
00:52:38,910 --> 00:52:41,079
You should think about
coming out to stay with me.
758
00:52:43,206 --> 00:52:45,375
But I'm on TV five days a week.
759
00:52:46,710 --> 00:52:49,170
So, give it up. For me.
760
00:52:50,755 --> 00:52:52,883
I don't like it when my woman works.
761
00:52:53,466 --> 00:52:54,718
Are you serious?
762
00:52:56,011 --> 00:52:58,013
No, I'm not serious.
763
00:52:58,096 --> 00:52:59,973
I have a little studio on the ranch.
764
00:53:00,056 --> 00:53:01,933
No. Not that.
765
00:53:04,269 --> 00:53:05,729
Am I your woman?
766
00:53:09,107 --> 00:53:12,569
Well, I'm not gonna lie to you.
767
00:53:12,652 --> 00:53:15,280
You do scare me a little.
768
00:53:15,947 --> 00:53:17,073
Okay.
769
00:53:17,574 --> 00:53:19,659
But, yeah.
770
00:53:21,620 --> 00:53:22,787
Something like that.
771
00:53:34,174 --> 00:53:37,010
-Wow, really? That's timing.
-I'll be right back.
772
00:53:37,093 --> 00:53:39,721
Okay. I'll be in the bedroom.
773
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,478
-Hey, Harry. What can I do for you?
-Someone dropped this off earlier.
774
00:53:46,561 --> 00:53:48,897
Thanks.
I'll get you something, just a minute.
775
00:53:55,570 --> 00:53:57,030
When did they drop this off?
776
00:53:57,113 --> 00:54:00,700
I'm not sure. It was before my shift.
Maybe five or six hours ago.
777
00:54:00,784 --> 00:54:02,535
Can you find out? It's really important.
778
00:54:02,619 --> 00:54:04,079
-Of course.
-Thank you.
779
00:54:23,098 --> 00:54:24,307
Oh, God.
780
00:54:43,535 --> 00:54:44,619
No.
781
00:54:45,245 --> 00:54:46,246
No.
782
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:48,081
No.
783
00:54:51,668 --> 00:54:52,669
Fuck.
784
00:54:53,753 --> 00:54:54,754
Fuck.
785
00:54:57,757 --> 00:55:01,136
I mean, what can you say,
other than, "Wow"?
786
00:55:01,219 --> 00:55:03,430
Bradley Jackson
did a hell of a job convincing us
787
00:55:03,513 --> 00:55:05,724
that Alex Levy was a changed person
788
00:55:05,807 --> 00:55:07,767
and that we shouldn't
hold her past against her.
789
00:55:07,851 --> 00:55:09,978
But this just happened.
790
00:55:10,061 --> 00:55:12,230
I went to see Mitch in Italy.
791
00:55:12,981 --> 00:55:14,733
I saw him the day that he died.
792
00:55:14,816 --> 00:55:16,443
-The day that he died?
-Oh, God.
793
00:55:16,526 --> 00:55:19,195
I thought she wasn't
in a relationship with him anymore.
794
00:55:19,279 --> 00:55:21,323
That was supposed to be ten years ago.
795
00:55:21,406 --> 00:55:24,868
Not to mention she endangered
her coworkers with a deadly virus.
796
00:55:24,951 --> 00:55:27,621
It brings up some very
uncomfortable questions.
797
00:55:27,704 --> 00:55:30,123
Why was she involved with
a known sexual abuser?
798
00:55:30,206 --> 00:55:32,083
And how did Kessler really die?
799
00:55:32,167 --> 00:55:33,418
First Jeffrey Epstein--
800
00:55:47,307 --> 00:55:48,308
Oh, God.
801
00:55:50,518 --> 00:55:53,104
What? What the fuck?
802
00:55:53,188 --> 00:55:55,148
There's no room inside the hospital.
803
00:55:55,232 --> 00:55:57,609
We are making tents outside the hospital
804
00:55:57,692 --> 00:56:00,153
to care for patients and…
805
00:56:00,237 --> 00:56:01,238
Oh, God.
806
00:56:04,532 --> 00:56:06,368
Doug, what the fuck? What's happening?
807
00:56:06,451 --> 00:56:08,119
Good to hear your voice.
808
00:56:08,203 --> 00:56:10,080
You fell and hit your head
during the night.
809
00:56:10,163 --> 00:56:11,498
Chip found you.
810
00:56:11,581 --> 00:56:14,209
Minor concussion.
And sorry about the other thing.
811
00:56:14,292 --> 00:56:16,044
Yeah. I got canceled.
812
00:56:16,127 --> 00:56:17,754
Well, yeah. But…
813
00:56:18,630 --> 00:56:20,048
They haven't told you?
814
00:56:21,007 --> 00:56:22,300
What? Told me what?
815
00:56:22,384 --> 00:56:23,969
I should let the doctor tell you.
816
00:56:24,052 --> 00:56:26,304
No, no. Come on, Doug.
You're scaring me. Come on.
817
00:56:26,388 --> 00:56:29,057
They tested you in the emergency room,
818
00:56:29,140 --> 00:56:33,270
and you tested positive for COVID.
819
00:56:34,187 --> 00:56:35,480
Fuck.
820
00:56:36,439 --> 00:56:37,732
Fuck.
