00:09:55,682 --> 00:09:56,857
Whoa, get off of me.

180
00:09:56,857 --> 00:09:58,336
You bitch, just stop
a sec, okay?

181
00:09:58,336 --> 00:09:59,729
Get the fuck...

182
00:09:59,729 --> 00:10:01,818
Dude! Take a hint!

183
00:10:03,298 --> 00:10:05,822
Whoa, what are you? 12?

184
00:10:05,822 --> 00:10:08,695
Yeah. Hit a kid,
that'’ll definitely get her off.

185
00:10:09,260 --> 00:10:10,653
You'’re into that, right?

186
00:10:12,046 --> 00:10:13,395
Get the fuck out of here.

187
00:10:13,395 --> 00:10:15,136
No, I'’m good.

188
00:10:15,484 --> 00:10:17,094
Like there'’s literally no choice
here except you leaving

189
00:10:17,094 --> 00:10:18,879
that doesn'’t make shit
way more awkward.

190
00:10:22,273 --> 00:10:23,535
What the fuck?

191
00:10:29,454 --> 00:10:30,891
Fuck this.

192
00:10:31,413 --> 00:10:32,544
Fuck you.

193
00:10:35,286 --> 00:10:36,592
[chuckles]

194
00:10:37,071 --> 00:10:39,769
Oh, my God.
Are you okay?

195
00:10:39,769 --> 00:10:41,815
Yeah. Are you good?

196
00:10:41,815 --> 00:10:42,946
Yeah.

197
00:10:43,599 --> 00:10:46,167
Hey, you need me to walk
you home or something?

198
00:10:46,167 --> 00:10:48,082
No, I live like
right over there.

199
00:10:48,082 --> 00:10:49,953
Okay well, should
be easy then.

200
00:10:51,868 --> 00:10:54,044
You know that guy?

201
00:10:54,044 --> 00:10:55,089
Not really.

202
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,136
And you went on a night time
walk with him?

203
00:10:59,833 --> 00:11:01,922
I didn'’t expect him
to go all...

204
00:11:02,618 --> 00:11:03,837
Zodiac?

205
00:11:03,837 --> 00:11:06,143
No, he killed people.

206
00:11:06,143 --> 00:11:07,536
Good thing I was here then.

207
00:11:11,845 --> 00:11:13,063
Thanks.

208
00:11:13,803 --> 00:11:15,413
Actually, do you want to come in
for a bit?

209
00:11:15,849 --> 00:11:18,503
Uh, no, no.
I'’m good thanks.

210
00:11:18,982 --> 00:11:21,115
Alright. I'’ll see you around.

211
00:11:38,219 --> 00:11:40,003
You live here?

212
00:11:40,003 --> 00:11:41,570
You sound surprised.

213
00:11:41,570 --> 00:11:43,746
Well, yeah.

214
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,620
Okay what'’s your name?
Mine'’s Igor Nowak.

215
00:11:48,620 --> 00:11:50,361
Mia Scott.

216
00:12:00,894 --> 00:12:02,112
What'’s this?

217
00:12:03,244 --> 00:12:04,288
It'’s brandy.

218
00:12:05,855 --> 00:12:07,727
It'’s what you give to people
after shit happens.

219
00:12:10,207 --> 00:12:12,166
Uh, yeah I'’m good thanks.

220
00:12:16,344 --> 00:12:18,694
Hm, did your Mom or Dad
draw these?

221
00:12:19,042 --> 00:12:22,002
Oh, she'’s not here.
Dad'’s an executive.

222
00:12:22,002 --> 00:12:23,394
Neither can draw for shit.

223
00:12:24,395 --> 00:12:26,702
So, you did them?

224
00:12:26,702 --> 00:12:27,834
You like them?

225
00:12:27,834 --> 00:12:30,097
Yeah, they'’re incredible.

226
00:12:31,489 --> 00:12:33,317
So what do you do?
Model?

227
00:12:34,057 --> 00:12:35,145
Study.

228
00:12:37,191 --> 00:12:38,888
What happened to your face?

229
00:12:40,672 --> 00:12:42,849
Maybe you'’re not the only damsel
I saved tonight.

230
00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:49,116
Well, uh... this has been
fucking weird, dude.

231
00:12:49,725 --> 00:12:50,900
I was just helping.

232
00:12:51,727 --> 00:12:54,599
Igor means '‘warrior of peace'’
in polish.

233
00:12:54,599 --> 00:12:55,513
Hm.

234
00:12:56,645 --> 00:12:58,342
So, you know, just buy me lunch
or something.

235
00:13:00,692 --> 00:13:01,737
Or something?

236
00:13:05,523 --> 00:13:07,264
[overlapping chatter]

237
00:13:11,747 --> 00:13:12,922
[laughter]

238
00:13:22,932 --> 00:13:25,935
[melancholy music]

239
00:13:53,615 --> 00:13:55,356
You all should know by now
that this class

240
00:13:55,356 --> 00:13:58,620
involves a significant
story assignment.

241
00:14:00,578 --> 00:14:02,189
A word of warning...

242
00:14:03,930 --> 00:14:06,280
this is a very competitive
field.

243
00:14:07,411 --> 00:14:09,631
It's competitive to get a job.

244
00:14:09,631 --> 00:14:12,025
It's competitive to keep a job.

245
00:14:12,025 --> 00:14:15,898
If you get it,
and if you keep it,

246
00:14:15,898 --> 00:14:18,770
you will be fighting over bagels
in the break room.

247
00:14:19,902 --> 00:14:22,600
I'm going to treat this class
exactly the same way.

248
00:14:24,733 --> 00:14:27,649
[Diane] Over the next few weeks,
each of you will research,

249
00:14:27,649 --> 00:14:31,827
shoot and produce a 20-minute
investigative segment.

250
00:14:32,697 --> 00:14:35,439
Choose your topic carefully.

251
00:14:35,918 --> 00:14:37,746
Hi, my name is Mia Scott.

252
00:14:37,746 --> 00:14:39,704
I was wondering if there'’s
someone I could talk to

253
00:14:39,704 --> 00:14:43,099
about writing a potential
article on your company.

254
00:14:43,099 --> 00:14:46,276
Okay, yeah, sure.

255
00:14:46,668 --> 00:14:48,148
[Diane] I'’m looking for insight.

256
00:14:48,148 --> 00:14:49,845
I don'’t want to hear
that homelessness is hard

257
00:14:49,845 --> 00:14:51,368
or that racism is bad.

258
00:14:52,326 --> 00:14:55,590
Hello? Hi, my name is
Mia Scott. I'’m a student.

259
00:14:55,590 --> 00:14:58,332
I was wondering if you'’d be
interested in having an article

260
00:14:58,332 --> 00:14:59,550
written on your company.

261
00:15:01,596 --> 00:15:05,469
[Diane] I want to feel angered.
Galvanized.

262
00:15:05,469 --> 00:15:07,907
[Mia] What'’s behind the
millennial rise of astrology?

263
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,041
Okay, yeah, sure.
Thanks for your time.

264
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,130
How do sewage workers
risk their lives

265
00:15:14,130 --> 00:15:15,610
to keep things running?

266
00:15:15,610 --> 00:15:18,221
I want an actual story.

267
00:15:18,221 --> 00:15:21,485
Yeah, I was hoping to do a story
about Senator Bekerman

268
00:15:21,485 --> 00:15:23,792
and his resounding
election victory.

269
00:15:23,792 --> 00:15:25,750
[Diane] And I don'’t care if your
subjects end up hating you.

270
00:15:25,750 --> 00:15:28,057
[Mia] What do you struggle with
the most?

271
00:15:29,929 --> 00:15:30,886
[Alix] Mia!

272
00:15:30,886 --> 00:15:31,931
[Diane] You are not there...

273
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:33,323
[Alix] Mia!

274
00:15:33,628 --> 00:15:35,369
[Diane] ...to get emotionally
involved or to make friends.

275
00:15:36,239 --> 00:15:39,155
You're there to do whatever
it takes to get the truth.

276
00:15:39,634 --> 00:15:40,983
- [Alix] Mia!
- [knocks on the window]

277
00:15:40,983 --> 00:15:42,506
What about the accusation
that the only reason

278
00:15:42,506 --> 00:15:44,421
you'’re in this position is
because of your parentage?

279
00:15:44,421 --> 00:15:45,945
I think it's a smear...

280
00:15:45,945 --> 00:15:47,990
And whichever one of you
bring me the best story...

281
00:15:47,990 --> 00:15:49,905
Hi I'’m a student,
my name is Mia Scott.

282
00:15:49,905 --> 00:15:51,559
I'’m a journalism student.

283
00:15:51,559 --> 00:15:52,995
My name is Mia Scott.

284
00:15:52,995 --> 00:15:53,822
Mia Scott.

285
00:15:53,822 --> 00:15:55,606
It'’s Mia Scott.

286
00:15:55,606 --> 00:15:56,825
Oh, hello?

287
00:15:56,825 --> 00:15:59,741
Hi, I was wondering if you...
okay.

288
00:15:59,741 --> 00:16:00,785
Thank you.

289
00:16:01,134 --> 00:16:02,962
...your segment will air
on the night report.

290
00:16:02,962 --> 00:16:05,790
You talk a lot about preserving
white American identity

291
00:16:05,790 --> 00:16:08,228
but isn'’t it true that your
former leader had an affair

292
00:16:08,228 --> 00:16:09,925
with a Black woman?

293
00:16:11,274 --> 00:16:15,148
What about your staff'’s
accusations of discrimination?

294
00:16:15,148 --> 00:16:16,976
[Diane] For the rest of you...

295
00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:20,283
You have defrauded hundreds
of thousands of dollars.

296
00:16:20,283 --> 00:16:21,589
Do you care to comment?

297
00:16:21,589 --> 00:16:23,069
I have no comment at this time.

298
00:16:23,069 --> 00:16:25,506
Isn't that hugely ironic
given your own company's...

299
00:16:25,506 --> 00:16:27,856
[Diane] You'’ll be lucky if you
get a letter of recommendation.

300
00:16:34,906 --> 00:16:38,040
[Diane] We believe journalists
like yourself are so important.

301
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,564
The senator thinks of you
as bastions of our democracy

302
00:16:40,564 --> 00:16:42,740
and the fact that you are
pursuing this profession

303
00:16:42,740 --> 00:16:46,309
should be a source
of real pride.

304
00:16:46,309 --> 00:16:49,617
However, we get so many
interview requests from so many

305
00:16:49,617 --> 00:16:52,359
reputable publications
and even they often-

306
00:16:52,359 --> 00:17:00,367
[hangs up]

307
00:17:00,367 --> 00:17:01,629
You'’re early.

308
00:17:04,284 --> 00:17:05,807
With nothing to show for it.

309
00:17:05,807 --> 00:17:07,504
I'’m working on it.

310
00:17:09,332 --> 00:17:11,160
You don'’t need to.

311
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,770
What do you mean?

312
00:17:12,770 --> 00:17:13,858
I mean...

313
00:17:16,296 --> 00:17:18,341
if you want to drop the class
there'’s no shame in it.

314
00:17:18,341 --> 00:17:20,169
No, no no no.
I want to be here.

315
00:17:20,169 --> 00:17:22,867
I put you in a really
tough spot,

316
00:17:22,867 --> 00:17:25,479
giving you a place when I wasn'’t
sure if it was for you.

317
00:17:25,479 --> 00:17:28,438
It'’s for me.
It'’s for me.

318
00:17:30,832 --> 00:17:32,007
Hm.

319
00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:35,576
Who'’s read Lippmann?

320
00:17:40,711 --> 00:17:41,973
Yes?

321
00:17:41,973 --> 00:17:43,410
The Almond-Lippmann
consensus states...

322
00:17:43,410 --> 00:17:45,238
I'’m sorry, can someone get
this girl a megaphone?

323
00:17:45,238 --> 00:17:47,240
I can'’t hear you.
You want to try that again?

324
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,371
Louder?

325
00:17:51,940 --> 00:17:54,203
The Almond-Lippmann consensus
states that public opinion

326
00:17:54,203 --> 00:17:56,031
is volatile and irrational
and...

327
00:17:56,031 --> 00:17:58,425
Oh, it was the text.

328
00:17:58,425 --> 00:18:01,471
Does anyone want to offer
some actual insight?

329
00:18:07,260 --> 00:18:08,435
Yes?

330
00:18:10,045 --> 00:18:13,179
Well I think that one of the
problems with the consensus

331
00:18:13,179 --> 00:18:16,138
is that it relies on the idea
that people'’s views

332
00:18:16,138 --> 00:18:18,662
are easily shifted.

333
00:18:18,662 --> 00:18:19,750
And?

334
00:18:21,361 --> 00:18:25,191
And when you look
at voting records

335
00:18:25,191 --> 00:18:30,761
or electoral races
or at Page and Shapiro
survey suggests that...

336
00:18:30,761 --> 00:18:33,938
[dramatic music]

337
00:18:35,026 --> 00:18:36,506
Someone challenge her.

338
00:18:38,595 --> 00:18:40,336
She goes really hard.

339
00:18:40,336 --> 00:18:42,425
So did you.

340
00:18:42,425 --> 00:18:45,602
Well, I'’m just glad the words
came out.

341
00:18:45,602 --> 00:18:47,952
Fifty-fifty it was going
to be puke.

342
00:18:50,607 --> 00:18:55,090
Hey so guess what?
My story came through.

343
00:18:55,090 --> 00:18:56,787
The senator'’s office?

344
00:18:56,787 --> 00:18:58,702
Mhmm.

345
00:18:58,702 --> 00:19:02,053
They ghosted me.
Dumped me by a voicemail.

346
00:19:02,053 --> 00:19:04,447
Oh well I guess
I just got lucky.

347
00:19:04,447 --> 00:19:05,883
I found a source on the inside

348
00:19:05,883 --> 00:19:07,233
with some juice
they want to share.

349
00:19:07,233 --> 00:19:08,799
You already knew
someone there?

350
00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:12,238
I wish. I just asked nicely.

351
00:19:12,238 --> 00:19:15,154
Sounds excellent, Connolly.
Good work today.

352
00:19:20,594 --> 00:19:22,248
[water running]

353
00:19:27,296 --> 00:19:28,602
Is everything okay?

354
00:19:32,649 --> 00:19:34,042

Or maybe there'’s something
you'’re not dealing with.

00:57:20,611 --> 00:57:25,703
You ever wonder if your Mom
could see her perfect boy now,

898

You are a journalist?

903
00:57:51,163 --> 00:57:54,166
You'’ve come in here to open
old wounds?

904
00:57:58,083 --> 00:58:00,128
You think she'’s writing
about you?

905
00:58:07,484 --> 00:58:09,181
Is it for TV?

906
00:58:09,181 --> 00:58:11,749
There'’s a chance it could air
but it'’s really not likely.

907
00:58:11,749 --> 00:58:16,797
So, you go behind my back,
you come into my home,

908
00:58:16,797 --> 00:58:19,931
you talk to my son,
you invade our privacy?

909
00:58:19,931 --> 00:58:21,149
I should have asked you first

910
00:58:21,149 --> 00:58:22,847
You shouldn'’t be here

911

Okay, okay I apologize.

story of loss and strength

on the table now, huh?

extramarital whoring,

944

you'’re going to need a metric
shit ton of proof.

945
01:00:00,335 --> 01:00:04,078
I'’m not going to accuse him.
The rumor is not the story.

Down the line, I can see you
sitting in that chair.

01:02:48,634 --> 01:02:50,288

good with the lipstick

from, you know.

What does that mean?

1015
01:04:40,267 --> 01:04:42,791
I never told you about my Mom.

1016

when I was eight.

1017

Shit, I'’m sorry.

1019
01:04:52,758 --> 01:04:55,413
It's okay. It's okay.

1020
01:04:57,763 --> 01:05:00,200
I was the only person in
the apartment at the time.

1021
01:05:01,854 --> 01:05:04,988
Suddenly I heard this screaming.

1022
01:05:06,380 --> 01:05:08,817
Calling my name,
telling me to call 911.

1023
01:05:11,472 --> 01:05:16,260
So I run and I find her
in the tub,

1024
01:05:16,260 --> 01:05:18,523
panicking because
she's changed her mind.

1025
01:05:23,441 --> 01:05:26,096
Now it's actually happening,
she wants to turn back.

1026
01:05:28,402 --> 01:05:30,143
And um, and...

1027
01:05:34,974 --> 01:05:39,979
she was screaming at me to go
and get towels to wrap around

1028
01:05:39,979 --> 01:05:46,029
her arms because her fingers
had stopped working.

1029
01:05:52,818 --> 01:05:56,996
Then um, I tried to go
to tie them

1030
01:05:56,996 --> 01:06:01,783
but my hands were trembling...

1031
01:06:05,004 --> 01:06:06,832
because I'm scared.

1032
01:06:11,010 --> 01:06:15,232
The blood wasn't stopping
and then she was screaming

1033
01:06:15,232 --> 01:06:20,063
at me about what 911
did I call, are they coming.

1034
01:06:20,063 --> 01:06:23,762
And I hadn't so I run to go
and do it,

1035
01:06:23,762 --> 01:06:25,372
and the ties were undone

1036
01:06:25,372 --> 01:06:27,635
and there was just never
enough time.

1037
01:06:35,078 --> 01:06:36,993
That's why I know where you
are now.

1038
01:06:40,953 --> 01:06:42,999
I bottled it up after.

1039
01:06:44,174 --> 01:06:46,045
I didn't talk about it and I...

1040
01:06:47,568 --> 01:06:50,397
pushed people away, I lashed
out, I got into fights.

1041
01:06:51,007 --> 01:06:53,009
You think it makes you stronger
but it doesn't.

1042
01:06:56,099 --> 01:06:57,970
You have a gentle heart.

1043
01:06:59,145 --> 01:07:01,060
And that's a good thing.

1044
01:07:03,367 --> 01:07:05,195
But because of the way you are,

1045
01:07:05,195 --> 01:07:08,720
because of what happened to you,
it makes you vulnerable.

1046
01:07:09,547 --> 01:07:12,158
And it makes you an easier
target for bullies.

1047
01:07:14,117 --> 01:07:16,162
I'’m not a fucking target.

don'’t have a fucking brain cell

they try me again

01:23:41,016 --> 01:23:50,068
Elliott who obsess over every
tiny little ethical detail.

1243
01:23:54,377 --> 01:23:59,034
But you and I know,
story is king.

1244
01:24:02,733 --> 01:24:04,604
That'’s what got you on the air.

1245
01:24:05,649 --> 01:24:08,913
Really?
Because I only saw you.

1246
01:24:11,916 --> 01:24:13,439
Do you know where I grew up?

1247
01:24:15,746 --> 01:24:17,574
Tell me.

1248
01:24:17,574 --> 01:24:19,793
Chino Hills, California.

1249
01:24:21,143 --> 01:24:23,754
My Dad shined shoes
for a living.

1250
01:24:29,716 --> 01:24:31,588
Then he would drink
after work.

1251
01:24:33,372 --> 01:24:35,548
I had this one friend
and we would go to

1252
01:24:35,548 --> 01:24:40,249
the Chino Hills Mall, and we
would just talk and waste time.

1253
01:24:42,033 --> 01:24:44,253
If I was lucky my Mom
would call on the weekends.

1254
01:24:47,778 --> 01:24:49,084
That was it.

1255
01:24:51,434 --> 01:24:55,916
I knew I was going to come here
and I was going to be somebody.

1256
01:24:57,614 --> 01:25:00,704
My Dad used to say that
the odds were against me.

1257
01:25:01,574 --> 01:25:06,797
Little Black girl,
comes from nothing.

1258
01:25:10,801 --> 01:25:14,065
People don'’t assume you're
going to be a success.

1259
01:25:14,065 --> 01:25:16,807
And if you do it anyway,

1260
01:25:16,807 --> 01:25:18,678
they think it'’s because
of who you are,

1261
01:25:18,678 --> 01:25:20,811
not because of what
you'’ve done.

1262
01:25:22,813 --> 01:25:26,251
You gotta make those two things
the same, no matter what.

1263
01:25:29,515 --> 01:25:31,909
I'’m Diane Heger.

1264
01:25:31,909 --> 01:25:35,608
Journalist, host of
The Night Report.

1265
01:25:35,608 --> 01:25:41,571
I'’m the iron hammer
of interviewers.

1266
01:25:41,571 --> 01:25:43,355
That'’s who I am.

1267
01:25:44,922 --> 01:25:46,532
That'’s what I've done.

1268
01:25:47,054 --> 01:25:49,622
Doesn'’t matter what people
know or not.

1269
01:25:51,972 --> 01:25:54,105
Is that why you stole my story?

1270
01:25:57,543 --> 01:26:03,419
You can pretend
that I stole your story.

1271
01:26:03,419 --> 01:26:06,639
But it was a home video
without me.

1272
01:26:07,771 --> 01:26:09,816
Nowak kid doing fine?

1273
01:26:10,339 --> 01:26:12,819
I made sure that you
pushed him to the brink.

1274
01:26:12,819 --> 01:26:18,521
I made sure that you edited
in the right direction.

1275
01:26:18,521 --> 01:26:21,219
Because that'’s what made
the story work.

1276
01:26:22,829 --> 01:26:25,136
And if you stick with me,
you will keep working.

1277
01:26:25,745 --> 01:26:29,358
You will keep climbing
to the top

1278
01:26:29,358 --> 01:26:34,667
until the Alex Neimans
and the Kim Connollys,

1279
01:26:34,667 --> 01:26:37,583
they'’ll be sitting on the other
side of your desk.

1280
01:26:40,630 --> 01:26:44,024
Laughing like you'’re
their best friend,

1281
01:26:44,895 --> 01:26:47,811
and it won'’t matter that
you screwed them over.

1282
01:26:51,293 --> 01:26:54,905
It doesn'’t matter the bridges
that you burn to get there.

1283
01:26:54,905 --> 01:26:57,647
Everyone else is just going to
build them back for you anyway.

1284
01:26:59,692 --> 01:27:01,651
Success is not the reward.

1285
01:27:02,347 --> 01:27:10,137
Success is a resource and if
people need something from you,

1286
01:27:10,137 --> 01:27:11,965
then you are never alone.

1287
01:27:20,322 --> 01:27:23,455
Yeah, um, get back to work.

1288
01:27:42,735 --> 01:27:47,914
[Diane] Journalism isn'’t
a vocation, it'’s a persona.

1289
01:27:47,914 --> 01:27:50,917
It has to be.

1290
01:27:50,917 --> 01:27:52,310
You'’re trying to wrangle

1291
01:27:52,310 --> 01:27:55,705
deep uncomfortable truths
from people.

1292
01:27:56,358 --> 01:27:57,968
Truth that if revealed

1293
01:27:57,968 --> 01:28:00,449
can change the course
of their lives.

1294
01:28:02,625 --> 01:28:04,757
Takes a particular
kind of person.
