- Um, it's a Halloween costume.
- Uh.
181
00:07:25,227 --> 00:07:27,142
I gotta say, I think
the adults are having

Did Shaw Plastics pay you

We do this kind of stuff
all the time, ma.

Do you know what it would take
to get people to watch a story

He was her boss.

at Syracuse her freshman year.

- Not bad, actually.

I hired her at WCNU

limits on the amount of ads.

No idea. It wasn't like
she was breaking Watergate.

was about mall walkers.

00:30:03,105 --> 00:30:04,846
I screened every tape
Jane ever touched.
705
00:30:04,933 --> 00:30:06,239
[Rush]
'Could've brought it
home with her.'
706
00:30:06,326 --> 00:30:08,589
That's what
I would've done.
707
00:30:08,676 --> 00:30:09,938
Who packed up Jane's house?
708
00:30:14,551 --> 00:30:17,772
Here are the rest of them.
Been in there for years.
709
00:30:17,859 --> 00:30:20,035
Just couldn't bring myself
to throw anything away.
710
00:30:21,515 --> 00:30:23,125
Did Jane ever tell
you about the last story
711
00:30:23,212 --> 00:30:24,648
she was working on?
712
00:30:24,735 --> 00:30:26,912
Was, um, something
about people
713
00:30:26,999 --> 00:30:29,001
walking in malls
for exercise, wasn't it?
714
00:30:29,088 --> 00:30:30,350
Lil, I got something.
715
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,615
"November 2, 1988."
716
00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:37,400
A day before she died.
717
00:30:37,487 --> 00:30:39,315
People deserve to know
the truth about
718
00:30:39,402 --> 00:30:41,317
what's happening to them.
719
00:30:41,404 --> 00:30:44,277
Why it's happening.
People are dying.
720
00:30:44,364 --> 00:30:45,844
[Jane]
'The people you're
referring to are'
721
00:30:45,931 --> 00:30:48,107
'employees of Shaw Plastics?'
722
00:30:48,194 --> 00:30:49,412
[male #5 on TV]
'Factory workers.'
723
00:30:49,499 --> 00:30:51,632
They're being exposed
to a dangerous toxin
724
00:30:51,719 --> 00:30:53,242
called asbestos.
725
00:30:53,329 --> 00:30:54,374
How do you know this?
726
00:30:54,461 --> 00:30:56,332
Because I have the memo.
727
00:30:56,419 --> 00:30:57,856
[paper rustles]
728
00:30:57,943 --> 00:31:00,728
Shaw Plastics was aware
of the effects of asbestos.
729
00:31:00,815 --> 00:31:03,905
[Jane]
'Can you explain what
that means exactly?'
730
00:31:03,992 --> 00:31:06,777
[male #5 on TV]
'Well, if-if you drill it down'
731
00:31:06,865 --> 00:31:09,998
it means the company knew
asbestos was causing cancer.
732
00:31:11,695 --> 00:31:15,525
And instead of doing
anything about it
733
00:31:15,612 --> 00:31:16,657
'they covered it up.'
734
00:31:19,225 --> 00:31:20,704
Exactly?
735
00:31:20,791 --> 00:31:23,620
Well, if-if you drill it down
736
00:31:23,707 --> 00:31:26,058
it means the company knew..
737
00:31:26,145 --> 00:31:27,537
There's our smoking gun.
738
00:31:27,624 --> 00:31:29,496
That spin doctor, Wyatt.
739
00:31:29,583 --> 00:31:33,282
Bad PR from a big, fat liar.
740
00:31:33,369 --> 00:31:34,718
I'd like to see him spin this.
741
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,204
What'd you talk about
742
00:31:42,291 --> 00:31:43,553
'last time you saw Jane?'
743
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:44,859
[Wyatt]
'A few fundraisers.'
744
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:46,817
I told you,
I-I barely knew her.
745
00:31:46,905 --> 00:31:51,344
That why you called
her about at 11:46 P.M.
746
00:31:51,431 --> 00:31:53,912
the night before she
- was killed?
- A Fundraiser?
747
00:31:53,999 --> 00:31:57,219
Shaw Plastics was knowingly
harming people, hmm?
748
00:31:57,306 --> 00:32:00,657
Company falsified the results
of mandatory drug tests
749
00:32:00,744 --> 00:32:02,616
to flush out anyone
who opened their mouth.
750
00:32:03,965 --> 00:32:05,358
And you knew about it.
751
00:32:05,445 --> 00:32:07,577
The thing is,
21 years later
752
00:32:07,664 --> 00:32:08,970
you're still working there.
753
00:32:09,057 --> 00:32:11,233
- What's that make you?
- This is ridiculous.
754
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,322
You people don't know
what you're talking about.
755
00:32:16,717 --> 00:32:19,850
[Jane]
'Can you...explain
what that means exactly?'
756
00:32:19,938 --> 00:32:22,810
Well, if-if you drill it down
757
00:32:22,897 --> 00:32:25,813
it means the company knew
asbestos was causing cancer.
758
00:32:27,684 --> 00:32:31,601
'And instead of doing
anything about it'
759
00:32:31,688 --> 00:32:33,342
'they covered it up.'
760
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,175
I'm gonna ask again.
761
00:32:40,262 --> 00:32:43,004
What were you calling about
night before she died?
762
00:32:45,441 --> 00:32:48,183
I didn't kill her.
763
00:32:48,270 --> 00:32:49,663
"You did the right thing.
764
00:32:49,750 --> 00:32:51,882
Don't make any
decisions tonight."
765
00:32:51,970 --> 00:32:53,797
Got your conversation
on tape.
766
00:32:53,884 --> 00:32:55,190
You drill it down
767
00:32:55,277 --> 00:32:57,236
she was trying to
warm your cold feet.
768
00:32:57,323 --> 00:32:59,151
Interview never aired.
You changed your mind.
769
00:32:59,238 --> 00:33:00,413
And got rid of her
to cover it up.
770
00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:02,981
"I'll be there
in 20 minutes."
771
00:33:03,068 --> 00:33:04,199
She was going
to meet you
772
00:33:04,286 --> 00:33:05,984
makes you the last
to see her alive.
773
00:33:06,071 --> 00:33:09,378
I was trying to help those
people who were getting sick.
774
00:33:09,465 --> 00:33:13,121
I tried.
I really did.
775
00:33:13,208 --> 00:33:16,385
And then I thought about
what the company would do.
776
00:33:16,472 --> 00:33:18,170
Intimidation, blacklists..
777
00:33:18,257 --> 00:33:19,606
People's lives get ruined.
778
00:33:19,693 --> 00:33:20,868
Lives did get ruined.
779
00:33:20,955 --> 00:33:23,827
It takes courage
being a whistle-blower.
780
00:33:23,914 --> 00:33:26,830
Heavy lifting for
a schmuck like you.
781
00:33:26,917 --> 00:33:28,919
Family corporation
and all.
782
00:33:33,402 --> 00:33:35,143
I thought I could
talk her out of it.
783
00:33:38,407 --> 00:33:40,018
I shouldn't have
talked to you.
784
00:33:40,105 --> 00:33:42,281
I want you to
destroy the tape.
785
00:33:42,368 --> 00:33:44,109
I gave Briggs
my word, David.
786
00:33:44,196 --> 00:33:47,068
Look, what the company
is doing is wrong.
787
00:33:47,155 --> 00:33:49,027
- That-that's not the issue.
- So what is?
788
00:33:51,638 --> 00:33:54,902
What are they gonna do
to us when they find out?
789
00:33:54,989 --> 00:33:56,947
Once the story's out,
Shaw can't touch us.
790
00:33:57,035 --> 00:33:58,732
Everyone will
know the truth.
791
00:33:58,819 --> 00:34:00,168
Don't back out
on us, David.
792
00:34:00,255 --> 00:34:02,518
Every minute we sit here
someone else gets sick.
793
00:34:04,955 --> 00:34:06,348
Now, tell me
you're with me.
794
00:34:09,699 --> 00:34:12,137
Alright.
795
00:34:12,224 --> 00:34:14,400
For every one of
those people..
796
00:34:15,879 --> 00:34:17,272
...thank you.
797
00:34:36,726 --> 00:34:38,728
I called Powers.
798
00:34:38,815 --> 00:34:40,991
Bastard was sailing
in the Cayman Islands.
799
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:43,472
You...told him
about Jane?
800
00:34:43,559 --> 00:34:45,909
The interview
you gave her?
801
00:34:45,996 --> 00:34:48,651
I thought he'd fire me.
802
00:34:48,738 --> 00:34:50,088
Instead I got promoted.
803
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:52,960
Keeping his enemies closer.
804
00:34:53,047 --> 00:34:55,789
Well, you keep your 401[k]
805
00:34:55,876 --> 00:34:57,617
and Jane ends up dead.
806
00:34:57,704 --> 00:34:58,835
You sleep at night?
807
00:34:58,922 --> 00:35:01,490
I asked him
to fix the problem
808
00:35:01,577 --> 00:35:05,190
so that more people
would not get sick.
809
00:35:05,277 --> 00:35:07,105
What'd he say he was
gonna do about it?
810
00:35:09,542 --> 00:35:12,240
He said all he had to do
was call the station
811
00:35:12,327 --> 00:35:14,112
and the story
would disappear.
812
00:35:16,723 --> 00:35:18,942
No wonder he didn't
stick around last time we met.
813
00:35:22,337 --> 00:35:25,427
[Vera]
'Andrew Powers?'
814
00:35:25,514 --> 00:35:27,037
Remember that
asbestos scandal
815
00:35:27,125 --> 00:35:28,300
you covered up
back in '88?
816
00:35:28,387 --> 00:35:29,779
Looks like it's
making a comeback.
817
00:35:29,866 --> 00:35:30,911
If you got stock
in the company
818
00:35:30,998 --> 00:35:32,217
you might wanna
call your broker.
819
00:35:32,304 --> 00:35:33,261
Insider information tip.
820
00:35:33,348 --> 00:35:34,958
- 'Andrew.'
- Yeah.
821
00:35:35,045 --> 00:35:36,090
[male #6]
'I'll meet you at
the restaurant.'
822
00:35:39,267 --> 00:35:40,312
What do you want?
823
00:35:40,399 --> 00:35:41,748
We're thinking
you're a conspirator
824
00:35:41,835 --> 00:35:43,576
to the murder
of Jane Everett.
825
00:35:43,663 --> 00:35:44,794
Murder?
826
00:35:44,881 --> 00:35:46,100
I didn't touch that girl.
827
00:35:46,187 --> 00:35:47,188
I was in
the Cayman Islands.
828
00:35:47,275 --> 00:35:48,494
[Vera]
'We know.'
829
00:35:48,581 --> 00:35:51,149
You called someone at WCNU
from your house
830
00:35:51,236 --> 00:35:53,760
a few hours before
Jane showed up dead.
831
00:35:53,847 --> 00:35:55,065
Got the phone records
to prove it.
832
00:35:55,153 --> 00:35:56,545
[Jeffries]
'You tell us
who you called'
833
00:35:56,632 --> 00:35:58,068
maybe the conspiracy
goes away.
834
00:36:00,375 --> 00:36:02,551
I only wanted
to kill a story.
835
00:36:02,638 --> 00:36:04,684
Never intended for
anyone to get hurt.
836
00:36:04,771 --> 00:36:06,860
We'll let
the jury decide that.
837
00:36:06,947 --> 00:36:08,427
All we want is a name.
838
00:36:16,783 --> 00:36:18,611
You friends with
Andrew Powers, Nathan?
839
00:36:18,698 --> 00:36:20,700
Station covered a few
Shaw fundraisers
840
00:36:20,787 --> 00:36:22,528
but no, I didn't know
him personally.
841
00:36:24,965 --> 00:36:27,228
Think of any reason why
he might've been calling
842
00:36:27,315 --> 00:36:29,622
your extension
at WCNU from his house
843
00:36:29,709 --> 00:36:32,407
in the Cayman Islands?
844
00:36:32,494 --> 00:36:34,453
Corporate bigwigs liked
throwing their weight around
845
00:36:34,540 --> 00:36:35,584
bitching about a story
846
00:36:35,671 --> 00:36:37,543
so sometimes they call.
847
00:36:37,630 --> 00:36:38,935
Mm-hmm.
848
00:36:39,022 --> 00:36:40,894
Uh, this particular
conversation
849
00:36:40,981 --> 00:36:43,462
happened at 1:15
in the morning
850
00:36:43,549 --> 00:36:45,725
few hours before
Jane was killed.
851
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,991
Probably had some idea
he wanted the station to cover.
852
00:36:51,078 --> 00:36:52,514
Looked into your
financials, Nathan.
853
00:36:54,037 --> 00:36:55,082
Yeah?
854
00:36:55,169 --> 00:36:56,997
You bought stock
in Shaw Plastics
855
00:36:57,084 --> 00:37:00,522
two weeks before Meijers
bought the company, huh?
856
00:37:00,609 --> 00:37:03,264
Stroke of genius made you
a millionaire overnight.
857
00:37:03,351 --> 00:37:05,005
What can I say?
I had a good broker.
858
00:37:05,092 --> 00:37:06,224
It was the '80s.
859
00:37:06,311 --> 00:37:07,964
Guys like Powers
were making millions
860
00:37:08,051 --> 00:37:10,228
and you wanted
a piece of the pie.
861
00:37:10,315 --> 00:37:11,838
Nothing wrong
with free enterprise.
862
00:37:11,925 --> 00:37:13,361
Except there was nothing
freeabout it.
863
00:37:13,448 --> 00:37:15,450
The stock tip came
with strings attached.
864
00:37:15,537 --> 00:37:17,496
Powers was calling
you that night
865
00:37:17,583 --> 00:37:19,759
because he wanted
a story to go away.
866
00:37:19,846 --> 00:37:21,587
And he was right.
867
00:37:21,674 --> 00:37:24,329
Jane had no business
taking that interview.
868
00:37:24,416 --> 00:37:26,896
I know David Wyatt
was no scientist.
869
00:37:26,983 --> 00:37:30,378
I mean,youhad taught
her better than that.
870
00:37:30,465 --> 00:37:32,467
Letting her heart
lead a story.
871
00:37:32,554 --> 00:37:35,383
It's called
journalistic integrity.
872
00:37:35,470 --> 00:37:37,429
You don't just take
the word of some PR hack.
873
00:37:42,042 --> 00:37:43,696
How'd you know
about that interview?
874
00:37:45,654 --> 00:37:47,090
What?
875
00:37:47,177 --> 00:37:49,179
The one Jane had
with David Wyatt
876
00:37:49,267 --> 00:37:50,616
that "PR hack"?
877
00:37:52,531 --> 00:37:53,488
Did Powers tell you about it?
878
00:37:53,575 --> 00:37:55,708

talk about at Syracuse.

Employees at Shaw Plastics
are getting sick.
909

I found an executive
who admitted management

I got him on tape

913

Jane Everett,
you cracked a story.
914
00:39:29,541 --> 00:39:31,151
We break this story.
915
00:39:31,238 --> 00:39:33,283
I mean, employees get a chance
at getting their compensation.
916
00:39:33,371 --> 00:39:34,981
They get, they get
their medical bills paid.
917
00:39:35,068 --> 00:39:36,243
Right.
918
00:39:36,330 --> 00:39:39,377
So, uh, where is it?
919
00:39:39,464 --> 00:39:40,856
What..
Where's what?
920
00:39:40,943 --> 00:39:42,249
The tape.
921
00:39:42,336 --> 00:39:44,991
- It's-it's in a safe place.
- Great.
922
00:39:45,078 --> 00:39:47,167
I'll need to vet it
with, uh, legal first.
923
00:39:47,254 --> 00:39:50,213
Legal? No, these people don't
have that kind of time, Nathan.
924
00:39:50,300 --> 00:39:51,563
We're exposed on this.

to the cleaners.
