What the fuck is going on?
12
00:01:45,122 --> 00:01:48,074
- They're taking our hard drives.
- Is it Neal's story?
13
00:01:48,125 --> 00:01:49,743
They've got a warrant
to search the hard drives.
14
00:01:49,745 --> 00:01:51,294
- Is this for real?
- What's your name?
15
00:01:51,329 --> 00:01:52,746
- My name?
- Yeah.
16
00:01:52,748 --> 00:01:54,914
It's spelled arrest me
or go fuck yourself.
17
00:01:54,916 --> 00:01:57,917
- We've been raided.
- It's Saturday night and you got the graveyard shift.
18
00:01:57,919 --> 00:02:00,220
What would I find if I stop and frisk you,
Snoop Dogg?
19
00:02:00,254 --> 00:02:02,255
Unless that warrant says you can
stick your hand in my pockets,
20
00:02:02,306 --> 00:02:05,592
you're gonna find yourself in a conversation
about illegal search and seizure.
21
00:02:05,594 --> 00:02:08,762
All right, back off.
Everybody just cooperate.
22
00:02:10,398 --> 00:02:12,399
- My password's N-Y...
- I don't need your password.
23
00:02:12,433 --> 00:02:16,236
- That's a comfort.
- Please stand away from your desk.
24
00:02:16,270 --> 00:02:18,188
Do you know where
Neal Sampat is?
25
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:20,023
What are my rights
in this situation?
26
00:02:20,074 --> 00:02:23,109
You don't answer and you don't get
to keep asking that question.
27
00:02:23,111 --> 00:02:25,779
Actually, she does,
but nobody has to answer.
28
00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:27,364
So just turn down
the temperature a litt...
29
00:02:27,415 --> 00:02:29,115
- This is a fucking outrage, Molly.
- Okay.
30
00:02:29,117 --> 00:02:30,950
And this is a fucking warrant
from a federal court, Mac.
31
00:02:30,952 --> 00:02:33,953
And we are the physical manifestation
of the will of that court.
32
00:02:33,955 --> 00:02:35,922
The fuck are you,
Marley's ghost?
33
00:02:35,956 --> 00:02:37,590
You kiss your sources
with that mouth?
34
00:02:37,625 --> 00:02:39,342
Don, please stay where you are.
35
00:02:39,377 --> 00:02:41,428
I'd like to make sure my
phones aren't being tapped.
36
00:02:41,462 --> 00:02:42,796
They don't have permission
to tap our phones.
37
00:02:42,798 --> 00:02:44,464
Then I guess this
would be the first time
38
00:02:44,466 --> 00:02:46,099
the FBI has used
a warrantless wiretap.
39
00:02:46,133 --> 00:02:47,767
Can I save you guys some time?
40
00:02:47,802 --> 00:02:49,519
Neal is a smart guy and there's
no way he left a trail
41
00:02:49,553 --> 00:02:51,971
to a government source on something
that can be seized by the government.
42
00:02:52,023 --> 00:02:53,973
Sloan I've got privileged stock
information on my computer.
43
00:02:54,025 --> 00:02:55,558
I see one of you guys
buy a speedboat...
44
00:02:55,609 --> 00:02:57,527
They're just doing their jobs.
45
00:02:57,561 --> 00:02:59,562
And I'm doing mine.
46
00:02:59,613 --> 00:03:01,865
Charlie.
47
00:03:01,899 --> 00:03:05,118
It's Charlie Skinner.
Give me LA control, please.
48
00:03:05,152 --> 00:03:07,487
Please put the phone down,
Mr. Skinner.
49
00:03:07,489 --> 00:03:09,406
Don, Jim,
power up our control room.
50
00:03:09,457 --> 00:03:12,125
- Yeah.
- Gary, grab a camera.
51
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:14,494
- Can you get me wired?
- Guys!
52
00:03:14,496 --> 00:03:16,212
It's Charlie in New York.
53
00:03:16,247 --> 00:03:18,832
We're gonna be breaking
in live in three minutes.
54
00:03:23,337 --> 00:03:25,555
Do you have the first idea how
any of this equipment works?
55
00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:27,390
I don't know how electricity works.
Just start pressing buttons.
56
00:03:27,425 --> 00:03:28,892
We don't know how
to broadcast anything.
57
00:03:28,926 --> 00:03:30,510
Charlie was on the phone
with Domino's Pizza.
58
00:03:30,561 --> 00:03:31,761
We're not broadcasting
anything.
59
00:03:31,812 --> 00:03:33,480
Just get an in-house feed
up on the monitors.
60
00:03:36,901 --> 00:03:38,818
Don't make things
harder on yourselves.
61
00:03:38,853 --> 00:03:40,687
I think I'm making
things harder for you.
62
00:03:40,738 --> 00:03:43,356
Come on, Mac. We've been friends forever.
I'm coming to your wedding.
63
00:03:43,358 --> 00:03:45,909
Well, I haven't gotten your RSVP yet,
Molly.
64
00:03:45,943 --> 00:03:47,660
So how'd you like
your name chyroned?
65
00:03:47,695 --> 00:03:49,079
This is now out of control.
66
00:03:49,113 --> 00:03:51,414
It's not hard to promptly RSVP.
67
00:03:51,449 --> 00:03:54,033
- It's a common courtesy.
- 90 seconds.
68
00:03:55,369 --> 00:03:56,703
They're bluffing.
69
00:03:59,373 --> 00:04:01,508
Hook me up, quick.
70
00:04:04,795 --> 00:04:07,430
Come on, guys.
Find some lights.
71
00:04:08,883 --> 00:04:11,634
See, I don't think there's
gonna be an on-off switch.
72
00:04:13,437 --> 00:04:16,222
- Check it out.
- What did you press?
73
00:04:16,273 --> 00:04:18,691
It's an on-off switch.
74
00:04:18,726 --> 00:04:20,059
What is on our air?
75
00:04:20,111 --> 00:04:22,095
Red Carpet Roundup.
We need a studio feed.
76
00:04:22,129 --> 00:04:24,397
Can I just say that this network's
Saturday night programming is...
77
00:04:24,448 --> 00:04:26,900
- Maybe now's not the time. But I do agree.
- Yeah.
78
00:04:26,951 --> 00:04:29,119
How have neither of you
in all this time
79
00:04:29,153 --> 00:04:31,287
absorbed any of
the technology involved
80
00:04:31,322 --> 00:04:33,790
with broadcasting the news you,
you know, do?
81
00:04:33,824 --> 00:04:35,875
Well, I can't speak for Don,
but my experience is...
82
00:04:35,910 --> 00:04:37,510
Shut up.
83
00:04:46,086 --> 00:04:48,838
Do we have sound?
Can anybody hear me?
84
00:04:51,175 --> 00:04:53,760
We're gonna need your first
name for the banner.
85
00:04:53,811 --> 00:04:55,211
Is it Kip?
86
00:04:55,246 --> 00:04:57,514
Your lack of cooperation
will be noted for our report.
87
00:04:57,565 --> 00:04:59,265
I hope that doesn't
leak to the press.
88
00:04:59,267 --> 00:05:01,734
- Oh, I'm gonna make sure it does.
- I'm being cooperative.
89
00:05:01,769 --> 00:05:04,103
Can it be noted that some of
us are being downright docile?
90
00:05:04,105 --> 00:05:06,906
- So it's Kip?
- Rodger with a D.
91
00:05:06,941 --> 00:05:10,076
- We're gonna misspell it.
- $210 a plate, Molly.
92
00:05:10,110 --> 00:05:12,328
It's nice to have a head count.
He's not made of money.
93
00:05:12,363 --> 00:05:14,113
I do fine.
We can afford it.
94
00:05:14,115 --> 00:05:16,783
- We're up.
- That's nice, Gary.
95
00:05:16,785 --> 00:05:19,369
Yeah, start on the windbreakers
96
00:05:19,420 --> 00:05:21,287
and then come over and frame up
97
00:05:21,289 --> 00:05:23,506
Special Agent Levy
for the hero shot.
98
00:05:27,595 --> 00:05:29,128
There's a typo.
You left out the R.
99
00:05:29,130 --> 00:05:31,347
- Where?
- It says "beaking news."
100
00:05:31,382 --> 00:05:34,717
Calm down.
Can she hear you on the IFB?
101
00:05:34,768 --> 00:05:38,104
No. Please, please,
pretend you can hear me.
102
00:05:38,138 --> 00:05:40,023
- Copy, I can hear you.
- She did it!
103
00:05:40,057 --> 00:05:43,026
- She felt my vibe.
- I think she can really hear you.
104
00:05:43,060 --> 00:05:44,611
- It says "baking news" now.
- Fuck!
105
00:05:44,645 --> 00:05:47,730
- 15 seconds.
- Good talking to you, Molly.
106
00:05:47,781 --> 00:05:50,867
You and your men continue your
government raid of an American newsroom.
107
00:05:50,901 --> 00:05:53,786
I'm gonna go executive
produce a special report.
108
00:05:53,821 --> 00:05:55,905
Stand them down.
109
00:06:05,749 --> 00:06:07,834
Stand down.
110
00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:13,089
Everybody stand down.
111
00:06:18,812 --> 00:06:20,647
LA control, keep your air.
112
00:06:28,906 --> 00:06:31,074
They're stopping!
Shh.
113
00:06:32,526 --> 00:06:33,860
We did it.
114
00:06:33,911 --> 00:06:37,080
Freedom won and not
a bullet was fired.
115
00:06:37,114 --> 00:06:38,748
Let this day
be recorded in the all...
116
00:06:38,782 --> 00:06:40,700
Your fly is unzipped.
117
00:06:43,921 --> 00:06:46,172
I'm not sure how I feel
about new confident Maggie.
118
00:06:46,206 --> 00:06:48,207
She's looking good.
119
00:06:48,242 --> 00:06:50,376
I can still hear you.
120
00:06:51,795 --> 00:06:53,263
Do you think there's
any chance she's...
121
00:06:53,297 --> 00:06:55,298
I'm not pretending.
122
00:07:03,057 --> 00:07:06,559
Seems like lately a lot of people have
been playing fast and loose with the law.
123
00:07:06,610 --> 00:07:08,611
I didn't break any laws.
124
00:07:08,646 --> 00:07:11,397
It was a solid warrant and they had
a solid reason for seeking it.
125
00:07:11,448 --> 00:07:13,149
I'm not at all convinced
we're the good guys.
126
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,201
- Where was he supposed to go?
- The source?
127
00:07:15,235 --> 00:07:17,287
Where was he supposed to go?
The police?
128
00:07:17,321 --> 00:07:20,206
He's not supposed to go anywhere
with classified information.
129
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,909
That was the Assistant
Attorney General,
130
00:07:22,911 --> 00:07:24,377
the US Attorney
for the Southern District,
131
00:07:24,411 --> 00:07:26,296
and the Deputy Director
of the FBI on the phone.
132
00:07:26,330 --> 00:07:27,914
And?
133
00:07:27,965 --> 00:07:31,884
We've negotiated
a one-week ceasefire.
134
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:34,837
Friday night we'll all meet
up at Main Justice in DC
135
00:07:34,888 --> 00:07:36,673
and try to dig our way
out of this.
136
00:07:36,724 --> 00:07:38,474
I'm not holding
this story for a week.
137
00:07:38,509 --> 00:07:40,760
- Holding the story for a week isn't a problem.
- It's a problem for me.
138
00:07:40,811 --> 00:07:43,429
Doesn't it take at least a
week to vet 27,000 documents?
139
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,932
If you put the same scrupulous
attention into vetting this story
140
00:07:45,983 --> 00:07:47,850
as you did with Genoa,
you should be done in no time.
141
00:07:47,901 --> 00:07:49,769
You are sitting
at the loser table.
142
00:07:49,820 --> 00:07:52,855
- At your wedding, what else is available?
- There goes your plus one.
143
00:07:52,890 --> 00:07:54,657
All right, look,
what I need is an assurance
144
00:07:54,692 --> 00:07:56,576
that it's safe for Neal
to come out of the dark.
145
00:07:56,610 --> 00:07:59,028
The government is not going to
make a move on either of you
146
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:01,280
until Friday,
and then hopefully never.
147
00:08:01,332 --> 00:08:03,683
- They're still walking out of here with...
- Shh, shh, shh.
148
00:08:03,717 --> 00:08:05,952
Agents Levy, Hutchinson,
thank you very much.
149
00:08:06,003 --> 00:08:07,920
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
150
00:08:09,306 --> 00:08:11,557
You're getting the fish
and the fish is gonna suck!
151
00:08:11,592 --> 00:08:13,142
You're talking about
your own wedding.
152
00:08:13,177 --> 00:08:15,211
- She's got a point.
- Where's Neal?
153
00:08:15,262 --> 00:08:16,596
- I don't know.
- Come on.
154
00:08:16,630 --> 00:08:18,931
- I don't know where he is.
- Good.
155
00:08:18,966 --> 00:08:21,801
- You did something right.
- He's safe.
156
00:08:24,138 --> 00:08:25,221
What?
157
00:08:27,107 --> 00:08:28,775
He's safe.
That's all I know.
158
00:08:28,809 --> 00:08:30,560
And don't ask me about it again,
okay?
159
00:08:30,611 --> 00:08:32,111
Yeah.
160
00:08:32,146 --> 00:08:34,313
Can I speak with you?
161
00:08:34,315 --> 00:08:36,866
I'm not sure I like
the deal you just made.
162
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:39,369
I don't care.
How do you know he's safe?
163
00:08:39,403 --> 00:08:41,487
It's a premonition.
164
00:08:41,538 --> 00:08:43,239
Did you...
Fucking hell.
165
00:08:43,290 --> 00:08:44,907
- Did you tell him where to go?
- No.
166
00:08:44,958 --> 00:08:48,161
- Did you give him money? A bus ticket?
- No.
167
00:08:50,497 --> 00:08:54,000
What happens Friday night?
168
00:08:54,051 --> 00:08:56,135
The investigators are
gonna ask you and Neal
169
00:08:56,170 --> 00:08:58,921
to tell them everything you can
without revealing the source.
170
00:08:58,972 --> 00:09:02,392
If they can connect the dots without
the identity of the source, great.
171
00:09:02,426 --> 00:09:04,177
If they can't?
172
00:09:04,228 --> 00:09:07,513
I don't know a district court
judge who's ever let a reporter
173
00:09:07,564 --> 00:09:10,183
keep his source when national
security was involved.
174
00:09:10,185 --> 00:09:12,351
And who decides if national
security is involved?
175
00:09:12,353 --> 00:09:14,020
- The judge.
- You see my problem?
176
00:09:14,022 --> 00:09:15,521
The judge is the one
who's supposed to decide,
177
00:09:15,556 --> 00:09:17,690
not Matthew Broderick in WarGames,
not Neal, and not me.
178
00:09:17,692 --> 00:09:19,742
- That's a prosecutor talking.
- Yes, it is.
179
00:09:19,810 --> 00:09:21,577
And how are we supposed
to be in DC Friday night?
180
00:09:21,612 --> 00:09:24,580
- We do the news here at 8:00.
- The meeting's at midnight.
181
00:09:24,615 --> 00:09:26,766
All right,
obviously we'll talk more before then.
182
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,203
But for now just go drink... Home.
Just go home.
183
00:09:30,205 --> 00:09:34,173
That stunt with the cameras,
that wasn't cool.
184
00:09:34,208 --> 00:09:35,675
Neither am I.
185
00:09:37,261 --> 00:09:38,761
All right.
186
00:09:38,796 --> 00:09:41,380
We give them
everything they want,
187
00:09:41,382 --> 00:09:43,683
and in exchange we get
to not go to jail?
188
00:09:43,717 --> 00:09:45,435
We also get to run the story.
189
00:09:45,469 --> 00:09:47,637
We get the guidance
we need to run the story
190
00:09:47,688 --> 00:09:51,724
without risking national
security or anyone's life.
191
00:09:51,726 --> 00:09:53,860
Good night.
192
00:09:54,895 --> 00:09:56,395
I'm only going to ask you once.
193
00:09:59,533 --> 00:10:02,535
Do you really know
the identity of the source?
194
00:10:02,569 --> 00:10:04,454
- Yes.
- That was stupid.
195
00:10:04,488 --> 00:10:05,955
That was something I would do.
196
00:10:05,989 --> 00:10:07,990
They're not gonna lock me up.
I'm too big to jail.
197
00:10:08,041 --> 00:10:11,577
Until about half an hour ago,
I thought they wouldn't raid a newsroom.
198
00:10:11,628 --> 00:10:13,579
They've got his hard drive
now and if there's anything
199
00:10:13,630 --> 00:10:15,164
on there that shows
he's aided and abetted,
200
00:10:15,215 --> 00:10:18,634
then you and Neal are in two
very different situations.
201
00:10:18,669 --> 00:10:20,586
He used an air-gapped computer,
remember?
202
00:10:20,637 --> 00:10:22,472
- And where is he?
- I don't know.
203
00:10:22,506 --> 00:10:25,057
- Are you lying to me?
- No.
204
00:10:28,312 --> 00:10:31,314
You know,
since it's not possible
205
00:10:31,348 --> 00:10:33,766
for everyone to like you,
I really think...
206
00:10:33,768 --> 00:10:35,768
I wasn't trying to get
the FBI to like me.
207
00:10:35,819 --> 00:10:37,436
They just happen to be
the only ones in the room
208
00:10:37,488 --> 00:10:39,155
authorized to do
what they're doing.
209
00:10:39,189 --> 00:10:41,023
Why do we have a loser table?
210
00:10:41,074 --> 00:10:43,910
- Your friends.
- All right.
211
00:11:13,974 --> 00:11:17,310
Hi. I have here
an EPA report that's been...
212
00:11:17,361 --> 00:11:19,695
- Hi.
- Hi.
213
00:11:19,730 --> 00:11:22,648
I have here an EPA report
that's been embargoed.
214
00:11:22,650 --> 00:11:24,984
- How did you get it?
- It doesn't matter.
215
00:11:24,986 --> 00:11:28,070
The Scripps Institution
of Oceanography in San Diego
216
00:11:28,121 --> 00:11:29,956
measured the levels
of carbon dioxide
217
00:11:29,990 --> 00:11:31,791
atop Mauna Loa,
a volcano in Hawaii,
218
00:11:31,825 --> 00:11:34,493
and found that it's passed
a long-feared milestone,
219
00:11:34,545 --> 00:11:36,629
400 parts per million,
which is a concentration
220
00:11:36,663 --> 00:11:39,332
not seen on Earth
in millions of years.
221
00:11:39,383 --> 00:11:40,800
Here's what happened.
222
00:11:40,834 --> 00:11:42,418
You started talking
about CO2 levels
223
00:11:42,469 --> 00:11:45,004
and I started thinking about
other things in my head.
224
00:11:46,974 --> 00:11:48,391
CO2 is a gas.
225
00:11:48,425 --> 00:11:51,010
The Scripps Institution
of Oceanography,
226
00:11:51,012 --> 00:11:52,845
which is made up
of professional scientists,
227
00:11:52,847 --> 00:11:55,348
measured the level of CO2
in the air and found...
228
00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:58,184
The Mets need speed. The Mets need power.
The Mets need pitching.
229
00:11:58,186 --> 00:11:59,902
That's what I'm thinking
about right now.
230
00:12:02,072 --> 00:12:05,024
Living things need oxygen
to stay alive.
231
00:12:05,075 --> 00:12:06,492
- I want a hot dog right now.
- Look...
232
00:12:06,526 --> 00:12:07,693
Have you come to me for help?
233
00:12:07,744 --> 00:12:09,495
- Have I...
- Come to me for help?
234
00:12:09,529 --> 00:12:10,830
- No.
- What can I do for you?
235
00:12:10,864 --> 00:12:12,198
I'd like some advice.
236
00:12:12,249 --> 00:12:13,866
What's another word for advice?
237
00:12:13,868 --> 00:12:16,202
- Look...
- You showed a lot of wisdom coming to me for help.
238
00:12:16,253 --> 00:12:17,536
- I don't need help.
- Great.
239
00:12:17,588 --> 00:12:19,622
- I need help.
- Hit me.
240
00:12:21,124 --> 00:12:22,959
Yeah,
I think you know what I meant.
241
00:12:23,010 --> 00:12:24,093
Yeah, I think I did.
242
00:12:24,127 --> 00:12:26,212
This is an embargoed
EPA report.
243
00:12:26,263 --> 00:12:27,880
- How'd you get it?
- Doesn't matter.
244
00:12:27,882 --> 00:12:30,383
The last time the levels were this
high was three million years ago.
245
00:12:30,434 --> 00:12:32,635
- We survived it then, right?
- No, there were no humans.
246
00:12:32,686 --> 00:12:34,020
It wiped out all the humans?
247
00:12:34,054 --> 00:12:36,022
There were no humans before,
you moron.
248
00:12:36,056 --> 00:12:38,224
Talking like that is no way
to get me to help you.
249
00:12:38,226 --> 00:12:40,559
The last time the CO2
level was this high,
250
00:12:40,611 --> 00:12:43,396
the climate was far warmer,
the ice caps were smaller,
251
00:12:43,447 --> 00:12:45,147
the sea levels
60-80 feet higher.
252
00:12:45,198 --> 00:12:47,199
Scientists believe
that humanity
253
00:12:47,234 --> 00:12:49,819
is precipitating a return to those conditions,
only this time...
254
00:12:49,870 --> 00:12:51,821
- Billions of people are in harm's way.
- Yes.
255
00:12:51,872 --> 00:12:54,707
I would take any one of the three...
Speed, power, or pitching.
256
00:12:54,741 --> 00:12:57,043
And this is my problem.
257
00:12:57,077 --> 00:12:58,961
- That environmental stories aren't exciting?
- Right.
258
00:12:58,996 --> 00:13:01,047
I've been doing a dramatic
rendering of that problem.
259
00:13:01,081 --> 00:13:03,716
This report says the world
is coming to an end.
260
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:06,752
I am preparing an interview
for Will to conduct on Friday
261
00:13:06,754 --> 00:13:09,422
with the the Deputy Assistant
Administrator of the EPA.
262
00:13:09,424 --> 00:13:11,674
On Friday when everybody
watches the news.
263
00:13:11,725 --> 00:13:13,676
Mac's put it in the B block.
264
00:13:13,727 --> 00:13:15,895
When I asked her what story
265
00:13:15,929 --> 00:13:17,980
she felt was going to trump
the end of the world,
266
00:13:18,015 --> 00:13:20,599
she said, "I don't know,
but I'm sure something will come up."
267
00:13:20,651 --> 00:13:22,902
So you want this to feel more
like a Jim Harper segment
268
00:13:22,936 --> 00:13:25,438
and less like
a Maggie Jordan segment?
269
00:13:25,489 --> 00:13:26,939
Just say yes.
270
00:13:26,990 --> 00:13:28,941
- Yes.
- Have you marked this up?
271
00:13:28,992 --> 00:13:30,776
Yeah.
272
00:13:43,423 --> 00:13:45,374
There's nothing
unimportant in there.
273
00:13:45,425 --> 00:13:46,959
Then what was the point
of highlighting it?
274
00:13:47,010 --> 00:13:48,711
To amplify its importance.
275
00:13:48,762 --> 00:13:51,180
And how much time do we have to tell our
audience about the end of the world?
276
00:13:51,214 --> 00:13:53,632
- Four minutes and 10 seconds.
- Who's the interview with?
277
00:13:53,634 --> 00:13:55,885
The Deputy Assistant
Administrator of the EPA.
278
00:13:55,936 --> 00:13:57,103
We can't get
the head of the EPA?
279
00:13:57,137 --> 00:13:58,521
There is no head of the EPA.
280
00:13:58,555 --> 00:14:00,106
Tell me when you're done
reading the report
281
00:14:00,140 --> 00:14:01,774
- so I can explain it to you.
- I'll be able to understand it.
282
00:14:01,808 --> 00:14:03,859
- Without Neal here to help?
- I know how to use a dictionary.
283
00:14:03,894 --> 00:14:05,144
Without Neal here to show you?
284
00:14:05,195 --> 00:14:06,645
Looking forward
to working with you.
285
00:14:06,697 --> 00:14:08,447
I'm dreading it.
Have a good day.
286
00:14:09,866 --> 00:14:11,484
How'd you get the report?
287
00:14:11,535 --> 00:14:14,987
Ahem, CO2 means two parts of oxygen
for every one part of carbon.
288
00:14:14,989 --> 00:14:18,991
I know that.
Wait... Yeah, I know that.
289
00:14:20,994 --> 00:14:23,329
- Yeah, I'll let him know.
- Thanks.
290
00:14:24,664 --> 00:14:26,165
Ahem.
291
00:14:27,667 --> 00:14:30,753
Reese and Mrs. Lansing are on
their way down to see you.
292
00:14:30,804 --> 00:14:33,639
- They're coming down here?
- Yeah.
293
00:14:33,673 --> 00:14:36,175
You sure they didn't
want me to come up there?
294
00:14:36,226 --> 00:14:38,310
No, they're on their way.
295
00:14:40,313 --> 00:14:41,814
Everyone knows
something's going on.
296
00:14:41,848 --> 00:14:43,599
We just don't know what.
297
00:14:43,650 --> 00:14:45,568
Yeah, I know.
298
00:14:46,770 --> 00:14:48,521
Just show them in
when they get here.
299
00:14:48,523 --> 00:14:50,523
They're here.
300
00:14:50,574 --> 00:14:52,658
Thank you.
301
00:14:58,081 --> 00:15:01,784
Leona, I didn't know you
knew where my office was.
302
00:15:01,835 --> 00:15:03,619
I followed Reese.
303
00:15:03,670 --> 00:15:06,005
I'm assuming you didn't
come down to tell me
304
00:15:06,039 --> 00:15:09,542
- you found $4 billion in the glove compartment.
- Well, I tried.
305
00:15:09,544 --> 00:15:12,211
The glove compartment may be the
only place I haven't looked.
306
00:15:12,262 --> 00:15:15,131
Where do you look for that kind of money,
just out of curiosity?
307
00:15:15,182 --> 00:15:16,882
We offered shares
to a special investor
308
00:15:16,933 --> 00:15:20,019
to buy up a portion of the company and
dilute the ownership stake of the twins,
309
00:15:20,053 --> 00:15:22,772
but we hit a roadblock
with the board.
310
00:15:22,806 --> 00:15:25,808
We thought about changing the bylaws,
but the lawyer said it wouldn't hold.
311
00:15:25,859 --> 00:15:27,810
We tried banks and hedge funds,
312
00:15:27,861 --> 00:15:29,728
but they know we're
already too leveraged.
313
00:15:29,780 --> 00:15:31,614
I have a $58 million
Jackson Pollock,
314
00:15:31,648 --> 00:15:33,449
$140 million yacht.
315
00:15:33,483 --> 00:15:35,217
It's not nearly
enough collateral.
316
00:15:35,252 --> 00:15:38,120
Boy, listen closely,
you can almost hear someone singing
317
00:15:38,155 --> 00:15:39,789
"Brother,
Can You Spare a Dime?"
318
00:15:39,823 --> 00:15:42,491
- Yeah, I know.
- I had a perfectly good idea.
319
00:15:42,542 --> 00:15:44,043
- No, you didn't.
- What was it?
320
00:15:44,077 --> 00:15:46,212
Poison them.
Poison my half-brother and sister.
321
00:15:46,246 --> 00:15:47,746
Just go Shakespeare
on their ass.
322
00:15:47,798 --> 00:15:50,583
- I know people, you know people.
- I don't know people.
323
00:15:50,634 --> 00:15:52,551
All right, well,
there's no such thing as a bad idea.
324
00:15:52,586 --> 00:15:54,804
Yes,
there is such a thing as a bad idea.
325
00:15:54,838 --> 00:15:56,806
Horizontal stripes.
That.
326
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,674
I think I know what's coming.
327
00:15:58,725 --> 00:16:00,259
- Charlie.
- Yeah?
328
00:16:00,261 --> 00:16:02,595
Randy and Blair, but especially Blair,
and mostly Blair,
329
00:16:02,646 --> 00:16:05,564
have to be stopped from selling
their shares to Savannah.
330
00:16:05,599 --> 00:16:07,566
The only way to raise
the money before they...
331
00:16:07,601 --> 00:16:10,486
Is to spin off ACN.
332
00:16:15,775 --> 00:16:18,027
Yeah.
333
00:16:20,413 --> 00:16:24,783
The buyer is a man named Lucas Pruit.
He's 43 and lives...
334
00:16:24,785 --> 00:16:26,619
In Palo Alto.
No wife, no kids.
335
00:16:26,621 --> 00:16:27,920
Stanford '92.
Harvard MBA.
336
00:16:27,954 --> 00:16:29,672
Goldman for five years
as a tech analyst,
337
00:16:29,706 --> 00:16:31,173
then he left to start
his own company.
338
00:16:31,208 --> 00:16:32,374
Yeah,
I don't know what they do.
339
00:16:32,425 --> 00:16:33,792
They made a WiFi accelerator.
340
00:16:33,844 --> 00:16:36,378
He's the 1,398th richest
person in the world.
341
00:16:36,429 --> 00:16:37,997
Can I ask some questions?
342
00:16:38,031 --> 00:16:40,132
- Did they try to dilute the twins' ownership stake?
- Yes.
343
00:16:40,183 --> 00:16:41,800
- Changing the bylaws?
- Lawyer said no.
344
00:16:41,802 --> 00:16:43,552
Offering long-term
contracts and platinum...
345
00:16:43,603 --> 00:16:45,137
They tried everything.
346
00:16:45,139 --> 00:16:47,306
What about selling another division?
Why us?
347
00:16:47,357 --> 00:16:49,308
Tax consequences.
We were the right price.
348
00:16:49,310 --> 00:16:51,360
- And...
- It's a trophy sale.
349
00:16:51,394 --> 00:16:53,646
Yeah.
Owning a news network's
350
00:16:53,648 --> 00:16:56,649
cooler than owning a location
detection software company.
351
00:16:56,651 --> 00:16:58,617
Would you coven of knee-jerk,
lefty bigots
352
00:16:58,652 --> 00:17:00,786
not condemn the man until
after he's said hello?
353
00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:03,572
I know he's committed the unpardonable
crime of making a lot of money,
354
00:17:03,623 --> 00:17:05,741
but perhaps in spite of his talent,
hard work,
355
00:17:05,792 --> 00:17:08,627
and enormous accomplishments,
he's still a decent guy.
356
00:17:08,662 --> 00:17:11,630
Yeah,
whose ideas are worth listening to.
357
00:17:11,665 --> 00:17:13,832
Yeah. Wait, what?
358
00:17:13,834 --> 00:17:16,552
- He has ideas?
- Yeah.
359
00:17:16,586 --> 00:17:18,654
So here's what I need us to do.
360
00:17:18,722 --> 00:17:21,340
What you need us to do or what
the Lansings need us to do?
361
00:17:21,391 --> 00:17:24,310
At this moment,
what the Lansings want is what I want.
362
00:17:24,344 --> 00:17:26,896
They spent the last year doing
nothing but standing by us
363
00:17:26,930 --> 00:17:29,148
when it made a lot
more sense to not.
364
00:17:29,182 --> 00:17:31,600
Not to.
Not to stand by...
365
00:17:31,651 --> 00:17:33,686
To not stand by...
366
00:17:33,737 --> 00:17:36,322
- I'm saying it would have made more sense...
- Find your way home.
367
00:17:36,356 --> 00:17:38,357
- ...to dump us.
- I agree.
368
00:17:38,408 --> 00:17:41,777
And since the alternative
to selling ACN to Pruit
369
00:17:41,828 --> 00:17:44,863
is ACN being dissolved
by Savannah Capital,
370
00:17:44,865 --> 00:17:47,416
- we're gonna love his ideas.
- Sure.
371
00:17:47,450 --> 00:17:49,752
Saturday night at
the Correspondents' Dinner.
372
00:17:49,786 --> 00:17:51,620
We're not going to
the Correspondents' Dinner.
373
00:17:51,671 --> 00:17:53,038
- We are now.
- I can't.
374
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,207
The Justice Department
is Friday night
375
00:17:55,258 --> 00:17:57,209
and the Correspondents'
Dinner is Saturday.
376
00:17:57,260 --> 00:18:00,379
We can't go because last year he railed
against the Correspondents' Dinner
377
00:18:00,381 --> 00:18:02,214
and said
we'd no longer be going.
378
00:18:02,216 --> 00:18:04,216
- Where?
- To the Correspondents' Dinner.
379
00:18:04,267 --> 00:18:07,136
- Where did you rail against it?
- On TV.
380
00:18:07,187 --> 00:18:09,688
- What network?
- This one. My show.
381
00:18:09,723 --> 00:18:11,724
I think I remember now.
382
00:18:11,775 --> 00:18:17,029
"ACN won't be attending
the Saturnalia of incestuous ingratiation"...
383
00:18:17,063 --> 00:18:18,981
- Oh, brother.
- ..."that does little to instill confidence
384
00:18:19,032 --> 00:18:22,901
in the public that the press
isn't ensorcelled by the powerful."
385
00:18:22,953 --> 00:18:25,070
I think I was trying
to quit smoking that week.
386
00:18:25,072 --> 00:18:27,990
Well, don't do that again,
'cause that was some huckleberry-bad writing.
387
00:18:28,041 --> 00:18:29,825
- What do you want us to do?
- Go anyway.
388
00:18:29,876 --> 00:18:31,627
Yeah, you got to eat it.
389
00:18:31,661 --> 00:18:34,296
Hope nobody remembers
your on-air
390
00:18:34,331 --> 00:18:36,999
bacchanal of
boisterous buffoonery
391
00:18:37,050 --> 00:18:38,417
'cause Pruit wants to meet you.
392
00:18:38,419 --> 00:18:40,669
And Leona says
he wants to be charmed.
393
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,222
- What do I do?
- Be the charming one.
394
00:18:43,256 --> 00:18:46,008
- And what do you do?
- Clean up when she goes berserk.
395
00:18:46,059 --> 00:18:48,927
I do not go berserk,
396
00:18:48,929 --> 00:18:52,931
you addle-minded bit
of American tripe.
397
00:18:52,983 --> 00:18:55,484
This is a sad day for dignity.
398
00:18:55,518 --> 00:18:57,569
I'll need a dress.
399
00:19:02,942 --> 00:19:04,610
This is the part
I keep tripping on.
400
00:19:04,612 --> 00:19:07,613
- What's that?
- I'm still looking at your contract.
401
00:19:07,615 --> 00:19:11,283
45K. 45 large,
my young friend.
402
00:19:11,334 --> 00:19:12,868
45 Grover Clevelands.
403
00:19:12,919 --> 00:19:14,553
Grover Cleveland's
on the $1,000 bill?
404
00:19:14,587 --> 00:19:16,121
Back when we printed them.
405
00:19:16,123 --> 00:19:18,674
They're not in circulation anymore,
but imagine 45 of them.
406
00:19:18,708 --> 00:19:21,460
That'll give you a sense of my
annual salary beginning Monday.
407
00:19:21,511 --> 00:19:23,796
It's not Jim Harper money,
but it'll pay the rent.
408
00:19:23,847 --> 00:19:25,347
As long as I don't pay
any other bills.
409
00:19:25,382 --> 00:19:27,132
It's more than 45
with the incentives.
410
00:19:27,183 --> 00:19:29,501
I know,
but I'm not counting my chickens.
411
00:19:29,536 --> 00:19:31,887
- Do you feel like...
- Just my Clevelands.
412
00:19:34,074 --> 00:19:36,025
Okay.
413
00:19:37,477 --> 00:19:39,645
- What were you gonna say?
- Nothing.
414
00:19:40,647 --> 00:19:42,865
- What?
- The incentives.
415
00:19:42,899 --> 00:19:45,234
James, they're not incentives,
they're bonuses.
416
00:19:45,285 --> 00:19:46,985
- For page views.
- Yeah.
417
00:19:47,037 --> 00:19:49,488
The more page views you get,
the more money you're paid.
418
00:19:49,522 --> 00:19:52,374
Welcome to capitalism.
We're happy to have you.
419
00:19:52,409 --> 00:19:54,043
They're bonuses,
they're not incentives.
420
00:19:54,077 --> 00:19:55,577
- Hallie, look.
- What?
421
00:19:55,628 --> 00:19:57,996
- If you're okay with it, be okay with it.
- I am.
422
00:19:58,048 --> 00:20:00,132
If you were,
then you wouldn't need to call it something else.
423
00:20:00,166 --> 00:20:02,735
It says bonuses right there.
I'm not the one calling it something else.
424
00:20:02,769 --> 00:20:05,220
If you're writing about
a cabinet secretary
425
00:20:05,255 --> 00:20:07,222
who testified in front of the
House Oversight Committee,
426
00:20:07,257 --> 00:20:10,559
are you more likely to write about
the content of the testimony
427
00:20:10,593 --> 00:20:13,512
or "Cabinet Secretary
Blasts Darrell Issa"?
428
00:20:13,563 --> 00:20:15,514
Your hero is Will McAvoy,
right?
429
00:20:15,516 --> 00:20:17,683
- He's getting there.
- Your hero is Ed Murrow, right?
430
00:20:17,734 --> 00:20:20,936
- Yeah.
- Will is paid millions of dollars a year
431
00:20:20,987 --> 00:20:23,188
and Murrow was paid the equivalent
of millions of dollars a year
432
00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:25,774
for the same reason anyone in the
private sector is paid anything...
433
00:20:25,825 --> 00:20:27,693
Their ability to make
money for other people.
434
00:20:27,744 --> 00:20:29,578
Will doesn't get paid
per view or per story.
435
00:20:29,612 --> 00:20:32,531
That's either heart-stopping
naiveté or denial.
436
00:20:32,582 --> 00:20:36,034
Our rundown meetings don't include
a discussion of what's grabby.
437
00:20:36,086 --> 00:20:38,370
And after a week of covering Boston,
you're now in fourth place.
438
00:20:38,372 --> 00:20:40,873
And Charlie makes sure we don't care.
That's my point.
439
00:20:40,875 --> 00:20:43,342
I understand how market
forces work in the news,
440
00:20:43,376 --> 00:20:45,844
but journalists have always been the
people pushing back against them.
441
00:20:45,879 --> 00:20:47,429
And now you're being
incentivized to...
442
00:20:47,464 --> 00:20:49,848
My incentives are no different than
a reporter at The New York Times.
443
00:20:49,883 --> 00:20:52,551
If those reporters were being paid
per person reading their story,
444
00:20:52,602 --> 00:20:54,219
the front page of the Times
would look a lot different.
445
00:20:54,221 --> 00:20:55,854
And because it doesn't
look a lot different,
446
00:20:55,889 --> 00:20:57,806
there are a lot fewer people
reading their stories.
447
00:20:57,857 --> 00:21:00,058
Who, Hallie,
gives a genuine shit
448
00:21:00,060 --> 00:21:02,761
how many people are reading a
story if the story is hyped?
449
00:21:02,796 --> 00:21:05,030
Someone who gets paid
per page view.
450
00:21:07,317 --> 00:21:08,901
Your confidence in my integrity
451
00:21:08,903 --> 00:21:10,953
moves me in ways I don't
even know what to do.
452
00:21:10,987 --> 00:21:14,072
- Don't take this job.
- This is an exciting startup founded by people...
453
00:21:14,074 --> 00:21:17,042
- Who are self-serving tools.
- That's exactly what they say about you.
454
00:21:17,076 --> 00:21:19,661
And you don't think that has something
to do with why they want to hire you?
455
00:21:19,712 --> 00:21:22,214
Hmm?
Someone who just got fired from ACN
456
00:21:22,248 --> 00:21:23,799
for tweeting a snarky joke?
457
00:21:23,833 --> 00:21:26,084
I think my talent has something to
do with why they want to hire me.
458
00:21:26,136 --> 00:21:28,086
Of course your talent
is why they want to hire you,
459
00:21:28,088 --> 00:21:30,172
but are you the only talented
person that they interviewed?
460
00:21:30,223 --> 00:21:32,057
I'm the most talented person
that they interviewed.
461
00:21:32,091 --> 00:21:34,176
- I believe that.
- You believe they want to hire me
462
00:21:34,227 --> 00:21:35,928
because I have
an ax to grind with ACN,
463
00:21:35,979 --> 00:21:39,181
which, for the 100th time,
I do not.
464
00:21:40,767 --> 00:21:43,735
You know a lot of things,
Hallie, because of me.
465
00:21:44,938 --> 00:21:46,605
You know a lot about Genoa.
466
00:21:46,607 --> 00:21:48,574
You know a lot about private
behavior in the newsroom.
467
00:21:48,608 --> 00:21:51,109
- Look...
- And you know some things about Neal.
468
00:21:52,946 --> 00:21:55,280
Not everything,
but you know some things.
469
00:21:56,449 --> 00:21:58,784
And it's really dangerous.
470
00:22:05,375 --> 00:22:08,927
You think I'd tell secrets?
Things you've told me in this room?
471
00:22:08,962 --> 00:22:10,596
What's your bonus again?
472
00:22:12,215 --> 00:22:14,099
- Holy shit.
- I was kidding.
473
00:22:14,133 --> 00:22:16,034
The only way for you to get out
of this conversation alive
474
00:22:16,069 --> 00:22:18,854
is to roll over, turn off the light,
and go to sleep.
475
00:22:20,023 --> 00:22:21,773
- I was kidding.
- Do what I said.
476
00:22:23,393 --> 00:22:25,511
We're not supposed
to go to bed mad.
477
00:22:25,545 --> 00:22:27,312
Honey,
it would take a Bradley Fighting Vehicle
478
00:22:27,314 --> 00:22:29,648
to move me to mad from my
current level of furious.
479
00:22:29,650 --> 00:22:31,567
So turn off the fucking light,
go to sleep,
480
00:22:31,618 --> 00:22:33,235
and we'll try this
again tomorrow.
481
00:22:33,286 --> 00:22:35,320
Okay.
482
00:22:35,371 --> 00:22:37,906
Don't go to sleep.
We're gonna talk about this.
483
00:22:37,957 --> 00:22:39,741
Okay.
484
00:22:57,510 --> 00:22:59,611
They should be here any second.
485
00:23:01,848 --> 00:23:04,182
You're the first person
I've ever met named Wyatt.
486
00:23:04,184 --> 00:23:05,684
It's a family name.
487
00:23:08,571 --> 00:23:10,606
How'd you like to have
Earp as a last name?
488
00:23:10,657 --> 00:23:12,858
That had to be tough on the playground,
hmm?
489
00:23:12,860 --> 00:23:15,244
Maybe that's how
he got so tough.
490
00:23:16,863 --> 00:23:18,864
Am I making you nervous?
491
00:23:18,866 --> 00:23:20,198
No.
492
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,451
Sometimes people
get nervous around HR.
493
00:23:22,502 --> 00:23:24,536
I don't get nervous.
You know who gets nervous?
494
00:23:24,538 --> 00:23:26,538
Criminals.
495
00:23:26,589 --> 00:23:28,423
Come on in.
496
00:23:30,593 --> 00:23:32,878
Gary Cooper, Alex Thacker,
this is Wyatt Geary
497
00:23:32,929 --> 00:23:35,213
and he is the new VP of
Human Resources for AWM.
498
00:23:35,215 --> 00:23:37,215
- Please have a seat.
- There are no chairs left.
499
00:23:37,217 --> 00:23:39,885
- Alex, HR received a complaint from you.
- That's right.
500
00:23:39,936 --> 00:23:42,104
And it was kicked down the chain
from Charlie to Mac to me.
501
00:23:42,138 --> 00:23:43,605
So why don't you
tell us what happened?
502
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,774
It's in the report I wrote
that's in front of you.
503
00:23:47,226 --> 00:23:49,278
Yes, I want them to tell me
in their own words.
504
00:23:49,312 --> 00:23:51,113
- Don, it's really nothing.
- I have no doubt.
505
00:23:51,147 --> 00:23:52,898
- It's not nothing.
- Okay.
506
00:23:52,900 --> 00:23:55,033
You asked for 20 seconds
of copy for Elliot
507
00:23:55,068 --> 00:23:56,652
on Justin Bieber visiting
Anne Frank's house.
508
00:23:56,703 --> 00:23:59,538
Why, you know,
in the world would I do that?
509
00:23:59,572 --> 00:24:01,623
Because Bieber signed the
guestbook on his way out
510
00:24:01,658 --> 00:24:03,709
and wrote
"Hopefully she would have been a Belieber."
511
00:24:03,743 --> 00:24:06,662
And then you and Elliot got drunk and
you told him you'd give him $100
512
00:24:06,713 --> 00:24:08,664
if he could read the story off
the prompter without laughing.
513
00:24:08,715 --> 00:24:11,583
Once again,
this is the new HR rep for our parent company.
514
00:24:11,585 --> 00:24:14,052
The copy should have been assigned to me,
but Gary assigned it to Stacey.
515
00:24:14,087 --> 00:24:16,305
Once I give it to Gary,
Gary gets to make that call.
516
00:24:16,339 --> 00:24:17,756
Based on merit,
not based on who
517
00:24:17,807 --> 00:24:19,758
he prefers to sleep with
at any particular moment.
518
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,260
I'm not sleeping and I've
never slept with Stacey.
519
00:24:22,262 --> 00:24:24,262
That may or may not be,
but probably is a lie.
520
00:24:24,314 --> 00:24:26,598
What we know for sure
is Gary flirted with me,
521
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,600
hit on me, took me out five times,
slept with me twice,
522
00:24:28,651 --> 00:24:31,987
and then dumped me in a pile with the rest
of the staffers he's used for his pleasure.
523
00:24:32,021 --> 00:24:34,773
I can't emphasize this enough...
This is the new HR rep.
524
00:24:34,775 --> 00:24:36,158
And I'm fine with all of that.
525
00:24:36,192 --> 00:24:37,793
- So we're cool.
- No.
526
00:24:37,827 --> 00:24:40,162
What I am not fine with is being
passed over for an assignment at work
527
00:24:40,196 --> 00:24:42,280
because I exercised poor
judgment in my personal life.
528
00:24:42,332 --> 00:24:44,449
I gave it to her because she's
better at this kind of thing.
529
00:24:44,451 --> 00:24:46,368
What kind of thing?
530
00:24:46,419 --> 00:24:48,837
The intersection of pop
culture and the Holocaust.
531
00:24:48,871 --> 00:24:50,505
- That might sound crazy.
- It did.
532
00:24:50,540 --> 00:24:52,791
Look, I've gone out with several
of the women in this building.
533
00:24:52,793 --> 00:24:55,377
Maybe you don't understand
what HR does.
534
00:24:55,428 --> 00:24:57,346
You're saying Stacey is a
better writer than I am?
535
00:24:57,380 --> 00:24:59,631
- She's a different writer than you.
- Different?
536
00:24:59,633 --> 00:25:01,633
Like I'm tired of this one,
so I'll try a different one?
537
00:25:01,684 --> 00:25:04,186
I told Gary to give it to Stacey, all right?
He is covering for me.
538
00:25:04,220 --> 00:25:07,105
I told him to give it to her because
she is a better writer than you are.
539
00:25:08,141 --> 00:25:09,891
Well, what am I supposed to do?
540
00:25:09,942 --> 00:25:11,810
Write better.
541
00:25:11,844 --> 00:25:13,845
That's it.
Thank you both.
542
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,897
Thank you.
543
00:25:20,787 --> 00:25:23,789
All right.
Close the books on that one.
544
00:25:23,823 --> 00:25:27,376
Fraternization between
superiors and subordinates
545
00:25:27,410 --> 00:25:29,711
exposes the company
to all kinds of problems,
546
00:25:29,746 --> 00:25:32,130
- including the one you just saw.
- And we don't tolerate it.
547
00:25:32,165 --> 00:25:34,750
- You're the EP of the 10:00 hour.
- I am.
548
00:25:34,801 --> 00:25:38,003
- Which is sometimes anchored by Sloan Sabbith.
- Yes.
549
00:25:38,054 --> 00:25:41,757
So if you and Sloan Sabbith
were in a relationship,
550
00:25:41,808 --> 00:25:44,760
there's a chance we'd have to move
one of you to a different bureau.
551
00:25:44,811 --> 00:25:47,262
- DC or LA.
- Yeah, but we're not.
552
00:25:47,313 --> 00:25:49,347
- Are you sure about that?
- Am I sure?
553
00:25:49,349 --> 00:25:50,565
- Yes.
- Yes.
554
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,151
Because then lying about it
would make it worse.
555
00:25:56,322 --> 00:25:58,073
Mm-hmm.
556
00:25:58,107 --> 00:25:59,524
I can see that.
557
00:25:59,575 --> 00:26:03,028
My predecessor was pretty relaxed
about this kind of thing.
558
00:26:03,030 --> 00:26:06,364
And we're already in a tricky spot
with Will McAvoy marrying his EP.
559
00:26:06,366 --> 00:26:08,750
But no one's gonna
mess with Will,
560
00:26:08,785 --> 00:26:12,537
so I guess my point is if you're
going to date a subordinate,
561
00:26:12,588 --> 00:26:14,122
you better have
stronger ratings.
562
00:26:14,173 --> 00:26:17,542
I don't see our ratings going up any time soon,
563
00:26:17,544 --> 00:26:19,795
so I guess I'll just keep the
company directory in the drawer.
564
00:26:19,846 --> 00:26:21,296
- Okay.
- Okay.
565
00:26:21,347 --> 00:26:23,048
Can you tell me how to get
to Sloan Sabbith's office?
566
00:26:23,099 --> 00:26:26,134
Back to the elevators
and it's on 22.
567
00:26:26,185 --> 00:26:27,886
Thank you.
568
00:26:27,937 --> 00:26:30,055
Welcome to the company.
569
00:26:38,564 --> 00:26:40,565
Ahem.
570
00:26:53,663 --> 00:26:55,413
We're not dating.
571
00:26:56,966 --> 00:26:58,750
Okay.
572
00:27:04,841 --> 00:27:06,324
Hey.
573
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,678
Ahem, "What forms of alternative
energy are real options
574
00:27:09,729 --> 00:27:12,430
to replace coal and gasoline,
and why are they taking so long
575
00:27:12,482 --> 00:27:14,399
to assume sizable parts
of the marketplace?"
576
00:27:14,433 --> 00:27:16,184
- Great question.
- Yeah, you wrote it.
577
00:27:16,235 --> 00:27:18,236
I thought the idea
was to figure out a way
578
00:27:18,271 --> 00:27:20,272
to capture people's
attention with the report
579
00:27:20,274 --> 00:27:21,907
and the interview
with the head of the EPA.
580
00:27:21,941 --> 00:27:24,609
You said he was the Deputy Assistant
Administrator of the EPA.
581
00:27:24,660 --> 00:27:27,162
So let's be sure we identify him,
you know, right.
582
00:27:27,196 --> 00:27:30,415
Yeah, but I think that's
the least of our problems.
583
00:27:30,449 --> 00:27:31,950
No, it's not.
It's just the first of our problems.
584
00:27:32,001 --> 00:27:34,753
And I'm saying the guy has a job and
a title and can we not hype it up?
585
00:27:34,787 --> 00:27:37,622
I have confidence in the graphic,
but where I need your help...
586
00:27:37,624 --> 00:27:38,957
Is in hyping it up.
587
00:27:38,959 --> 00:27:41,760
The air has a very dangerous
level of poison gas in it.
588
00:27:41,794 --> 00:27:44,179
Why do we have to write Will
questions like it's a sex test
589
00:27:44,213 --> 00:27:46,681
in Sex, you know,
Magazine or something?
590
00:27:46,716 --> 00:27:48,884
- Sex Magazine?
- Yeah, I couldn't think of a real...
591
00:27:48,935 --> 00:27:51,553
We've switched sides.
Yesterday you told me I was boring you.
592
00:27:51,604 --> 00:27:53,305
I was wrong.
593
00:27:53,307 --> 00:27:55,607
"China's demand
for coal is increasing
594
00:27:55,641 --> 00:27:57,893
as it continues to urbanize
and industrialize,
595
00:27:57,944 --> 00:28:00,812
but so has its demand for
solar power and wind energy."
596
00:28:00,863 --> 00:28:02,480
- That isn't even a question.
- No, look.
597
00:28:02,532 --> 00:28:04,199
"Your thoughts?"
598
00:28:04,233 --> 00:28:06,117
I want to hear his thoughts.
599
00:28:06,152 --> 00:28:09,538
I came over and told you
about the EPA report
600
00:28:09,572 --> 00:28:11,873
- and the interview Friday with Richard Westbrook.
- Yeah.
601
00:28:11,958 --> 00:28:13,742
You told me I was boring you.
602
00:28:13,793 --> 00:28:15,710
I asked for help.
You gloated.
603
00:28:15,745 --> 00:28:18,330
And then what?
604
00:28:19,715 --> 00:28:21,499
Did you know there are
online news outlets
605
00:28:21,501 --> 00:28:24,386
that offer bonuses to their
reporters for page views?
606
00:28:24,420 --> 00:28:27,172
- Yes.
- I didn't know that.
607
00:28:27,223 --> 00:28:29,674
That's because you live
in the time of King Arthur
608
00:28:29,676 --> 00:28:31,176
along with Don, Will,
and Charlie.
609
00:28:31,178 --> 00:28:32,477
I don't live in the time
of King Arthur.
610
00:28:32,511 --> 00:28:33,979
You live in the time
of King Arthur.
611
00:28:34,013 --> 00:28:35,013
You don't see
an immediate danger
612
00:28:35,064 --> 00:28:37,849
in offering cash
for trash on a news site?
613
00:28:37,900 --> 00:28:39,568
I understand.
614
00:28:39,602 --> 00:28:40,852
Thank you.
615
00:28:40,854 --> 00:28:42,687
You were a dick to Hallie.
616
00:28:42,689 --> 00:28:44,773
- No, I wasn't.
- Tiny bit dicky?
617
00:28:44,824 --> 00:28:47,108
What am I supposed to say
when she comes home
618
00:28:47,159 --> 00:28:49,527
with a contract for a job at a
new website called "Carnivore"?
619
00:28:49,529 --> 00:28:50,862
"Congratulations."
620
00:28:50,913 --> 00:28:53,198
I said congratulations.
I supported her ass off.
621
00:28:53,249 --> 00:28:54,833
- And then?
- I saw the contract.
622
00:28:54,867 --> 00:28:56,284
- And you were a dick.
- I wasn't.
623
00:28:56,335 --> 00:28:58,286
A little bit Dickensian
in your special way
624
00:28:58,337 --> 00:29:00,755
that says,
"I love you, but you suck."
625
00:29:00,790 --> 00:29:04,175
She got fired.
She was humiliated.
626
00:29:04,210 --> 00:29:05,794
And I'm sure
you were there for her,
627
00:29:05,845 --> 00:29:08,463
but I'm also 100% certain
628
00:29:08,514 --> 00:29:12,300
there was something in your voice that said,
"You deserved it."
629
00:29:15,771 --> 00:29:17,555
Ahem,
I don't want what I'm about to say
630
00:29:17,607 --> 00:29:19,608
to be misconstrued
as agreeing with you,
631
00:29:19,642 --> 00:29:23,812
but I'll try to be conscious
of that and do better.
632
00:29:25,147 --> 00:29:26,698
Good.
633
00:29:26,732 --> 00:29:28,867
Who are you bringing to
the Correspondents' Dinner?
634
00:29:28,901 --> 00:29:31,736
I met a really nice guy on
the train back from Boston.
635
00:29:31,787 --> 00:29:33,955
Guess what he teaches
at Fordham Law School.
636
00:29:33,990 --> 00:29:36,574
- What?
- Ethics.
637
00:29:36,626 --> 00:29:38,793
Leave it to you to find
the only person in the world
638
00:29:38,828 --> 00:29:40,378
who can make money
being ethical.
639
00:29:40,413 --> 00:29:41,746
I know.
640
00:29:43,299 --> 00:29:45,500
How did you get the EPA report
and the exclusive interview?
641
00:30:06,238 --> 00:30:08,406
This was really
the best place to meet?
642
00:30:08,441 --> 00:30:10,325
- Yeah. Were you followed?
- No.
643
00:30:10,359 --> 00:30:11,993
- You were followed.
- By who?
644
00:30:12,028 --> 00:30:14,079
Me,
just to show you that I can.
645
00:30:14,113 --> 00:30:15,780
Just stand up a second.
646
00:30:15,782 --> 00:30:17,916
You asked for the meeting.
647
00:30:17,950 --> 00:30:19,284
Please.
648
00:30:24,790 --> 00:30:28,343
We've known each other since we
were too young to rent a car.
649
00:30:28,377 --> 00:30:30,295
That's the only reason
I'm here.
650
00:30:32,298 --> 00:30:35,850
If anyone knew I was,
I'd be asked to hand over my badge and my gun
651
00:30:35,885 --> 00:30:38,353
and I would never in my
life be able to get a job
652
00:30:38,387 --> 00:30:40,388
that required trustworthiness.
653
00:30:40,439 --> 00:30:43,141
Can you think of a job
that doesn't?
654
00:30:43,143 --> 00:30:45,477
- No.
- So there we are.
655
00:30:47,446 --> 00:30:50,281
We found some compelling
evidence on Neal's hard drive
656
00:30:50,316 --> 00:30:53,201
that he helped his source transfer
the docs from the SIPRNet.
657
00:30:56,989 --> 00:30:58,690
How compelling?
658
00:31:00,226 --> 00:31:02,410
If you're able
to contact him...
659
00:31:02,461 --> 00:31:04,996
I don't know if you are...
660
00:31:05,031 --> 00:31:07,232
but if someone is able
to contact him,
661
00:31:07,266 --> 00:31:10,301
they should tell him
to come in.
662
00:31:10,336 --> 00:31:14,372
He needs a lawyer
and he needs to cooperate.
663
00:31:14,407 --> 00:31:16,474
To commit the crime
you're suggesting,
664
00:31:16,509 --> 00:31:19,427
Neal would have had to have had
knowledge he was committing a crime,
665
00:31:19,478 --> 00:31:21,563
knowledge he couldn't
possibly have had
666
00:31:21,597 --> 00:31:22,764
when the source contacted him.
667
00:31:22,815 --> 00:31:24,482
A reporter you'd be
willing to work with
668
00:31:24,517 --> 00:31:27,085
can't tell the difference between
a credible source and a fugazi?
669
00:31:27,119 --> 00:31:30,188
Yes, I'd be willing to work
with Dan Rather and CBS News.
670
00:31:30,190 --> 00:31:32,190
We don't want Neal.
671
00:31:32,192 --> 00:31:35,927
We want...
We have to have his source.
672
00:31:38,197 --> 00:31:39,931
This is a bad guy.
673
00:31:39,965 --> 00:31:42,534
And what are you gonna do
to Neal to get his name?
674
00:31:42,536 --> 00:31:44,869
We're not gonna throw
a bag over his head.
675
00:31:44,871 --> 00:31:47,956
But you are gonna threaten him with
conspiracy to commit espionage.
676
00:31:48,007 --> 00:31:49,707
It's not gonna be
an idle threat.
677
00:31:49,709 --> 00:31:52,544
Our experts were very impressed
678
00:31:52,595 --> 00:31:54,963
with his technical
sophistication.
679
00:31:55,014 --> 00:31:57,015
You can bring him in
680
00:31:57,049 --> 00:31:59,267
or we can kick his door down.
681
00:32:08,194 --> 00:32:09,894
Okay.
682
00:32:12,531 --> 00:32:16,334
You know you just revealed to me that you
knew he helped with the document transfer.
683
00:32:16,368 --> 00:32:18,953
Yeah.
684
00:32:18,988 --> 00:32:20,872
Trust.
685
00:32:43,345 --> 00:32:45,480
Thanks for meeting me so late.
686
00:32:45,514 --> 00:32:47,649
What's going on?
687
00:32:49,318 --> 00:32:52,353
I want to ask you something and I
want you to tell me the truth,
688
00:32:52,404 --> 00:32:55,190
but I don't want you to tell
me any more than you're asked.
689
00:32:59,411 --> 00:33:01,412
All right.
690
00:33:01,447 --> 00:33:04,415
Is anyone in touch with Neal?
691
00:33:04,450 --> 00:33:07,952
Through an uncle who talks to his cousin?
Anything?
692
00:33:15,177 --> 00:33:17,679
Yes,
somebody's in touch with Neal.
693
00:33:17,713 --> 00:33:20,014
Get a message
to him to come in.
694
00:33:22,134 --> 00:33:24,519
Friday night in DC
at Main Justice.
695
00:33:24,553 --> 00:33:27,055
He'll have immunity
at the meeting.
696
00:33:27,106 --> 00:33:29,023
What about after the meeting?
697
00:33:32,478 --> 00:33:35,947
No reporter's ever been charged
under the Espionage Act.
698
00:33:46,158 --> 00:33:48,076
All right.
699
00:33:51,330 --> 00:33:52,664
Okay.
700
00:34:02,424 --> 00:34:04,309
Anzar Tsarnaev,
the father of...
701
00:34:04,343 --> 00:34:06,678
- Stand by, G7 and 7A.
- Standing.
702
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,763
...will be traveling from
Russia to the US this week.
703
00:34:08,797 --> 00:34:10,682
Meanwhile,
Jahar remains hospitalized
704
00:34:10,733 --> 00:34:13,184
- and no date yet has been set for his arraignment.
- Go 7.
705
00:34:13,235 --> 00:34:16,321
Today the federal government
released a startling finding
706
00:34:16,355 --> 00:34:18,940
on the level of carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere.
707
00:34:18,991 --> 00:34:21,075
We'll have EPA Deputy Assistant
Administrator Richard...
708
00:34:21,110 --> 00:34:23,027
- Ready SOT-4.
- Ready.
709
00:34:23,078 --> 00:34:26,114
- But first, ACN's Maggie Jordan filed this report.
- Go SOT-4.
710
00:34:26,198 --> 00:34:28,082
A grave warning
today from scientists
711
00:34:28,117 --> 00:34:31,252
at the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration.
712
00:34:31,287 --> 00:34:34,038
The world has passed
a long-feared milestone.
713
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,008
- Mr. Westbrook?
- Yeah.
714
00:34:37,042 --> 00:34:38,543
I'll take you
to the studio now.
715
00:34:38,545 --> 00:34:41,045
Okay.
716
00:34:41,096 --> 00:34:43,681
...reaching a concentration
not seen on the Earth
717
00:34:43,716 --> 00:34:45,049
for millions of years.
718
00:34:45,051 --> 00:34:46,551
Scientists took this reading...
719
00:34:46,553 --> 00:34:48,853
Will, we're running light.
720
00:34:48,887 --> 00:34:51,856
- Can you tease the interview out another 40 seconds?
- Yeah.
721
00:34:54,109 --> 00:34:55,893
30 seconds.
722
00:34:55,895 --> 00:34:58,980
- How are you? I'm Will.
- Nice to meet you.
723
00:34:59,031 --> 00:35:00,982
So there won't be
any hard questions.
724
00:35:01,033 --> 00:35:02,650
I'm just gonna ask you
to expand on the report.
725
00:35:02,701 --> 00:35:04,902
Pretend you're an expert
witness and I'm your lawyer.
726
00:35:04,954 --> 00:35:06,404
- Sounds good.
- In 10.
727
00:35:06,406 --> 00:35:08,539
- Here we go.
- Stand by, camera one.
728
00:35:08,574 --> 00:35:11,459
...the 450 parts per
million will soon be crossed.
729
00:35:11,493 --> 00:35:15,163
The question remains,
how will we respond?
730
00:35:15,214 --> 00:35:17,465
And joining us now in studio
is Richard Westbrook,
731
00:35:17,499 --> 00:35:19,550
Deputy Assistant
Administrator of the EPA.
732
00:35:19,585 --> 00:35:21,419
- Welcome.
- Thank you.
733
00:35:21,421 --> 00:35:23,554
Mr. Westbrook,
you've spent most of your professional career
734
00:35:23,589 --> 00:35:25,840
as a climate scientist
in the public sector.
735
00:35:25,891 --> 00:35:29,177
Yes, 10 years as a supervisory
management analyst
736
00:35:29,228 --> 00:35:31,262
in the Office of
Environmental Information.
737
00:35:31,264 --> 00:35:33,848
And before that,
I was a program specialist
738
00:35:33,899 --> 00:35:36,100
in the EPA's Resource
Management Division.
739
00:35:36,102 --> 00:35:38,686
And you have a PhD in climate
science from Stanford.
740
00:35:38,771 --> 00:35:41,105
Yes, and another in chemistry
with a masters in biology.
741
00:35:41,107 --> 00:35:44,108
Okay. Tell us about the findings in
the report that was just released.
742
00:35:44,159 --> 00:35:48,079
The latest measurements
taken at Mauna Loa in Hawaii
743
00:35:48,113 --> 00:35:51,366
indicate a CO2 level
of 400 parts per million.
744
00:35:51,417 --> 00:35:53,618
Just so we know
what we're talking about,
745
00:35:53,620 --> 00:35:55,787
if you were a doctor
and we were the patient,
746
00:35:55,789 --> 00:35:59,340
what's your prognosis?
1,000 years? 2,000 years?
747
00:35:59,375 --> 00:36:01,626
A person has already
been born who will die
748
00:36:01,628 --> 00:36:03,878
due to catastrophic
failure of the planet.
749
00:36:05,714 --> 00:36:07,548
What did he just say?
750
00:36:09,134 --> 00:36:13,354
- Okay, can you expand on that?
- Sure.
751
00:36:13,389 --> 00:36:16,274
The last time there was
this much CO2 in the air,
752
00:36:16,308 --> 00:36:18,976
the oceans were 80 feet
higher than they are now.
753
00:36:19,028 --> 00:36:21,863
Two things you should know...
Half the world's population
754
00:36:21,897 --> 00:36:24,816
lives within 120 miles
of an ocean.
755
00:36:24,818 --> 00:36:27,568
- And the other?
- Humans can't breathe under water.
756
00:36:27,619 --> 00:36:30,455
You're saying
the situation's dire?
757
00:36:30,489 --> 00:36:32,373
Not exactly.
758
00:36:32,408 --> 00:36:35,159
Your house is burning to the ground,
the situation's dire.
759
00:36:35,161 --> 00:36:39,297
Your house has already burned to the ground,
the situation's over.
760
00:36:39,331 --> 00:36:42,050
So what can we do
to reverse this?
761
00:36:42,084 --> 00:36:43,584
- There's a lot we could do.
- Good.
762
00:36:43,635 --> 00:36:46,754
If it were 20 years ago
or even 10 years ago.
763
00:36:46,805 --> 00:36:48,840
But now... No.
764
00:36:48,842 --> 00:36:53,428
Can you make an analogy
that might help us understand?
765
00:36:53,479 --> 00:36:56,647
Sure.
It's as if you're sitting in your car
766
00:36:56,682 --> 00:37:00,685
in your garage with the engine
running and the door closed
767
00:37:00,736 --> 00:37:03,521
and you've slipped
into unconsciousness.
768
00:37:03,523 --> 00:37:06,190
And that...
That's it.
769
00:37:06,192 --> 00:37:08,626
What if someone comes
and opens the door?
770
00:37:08,660 --> 00:37:11,112
- You're already dead.
- What if the person got there in time?
771
00:37:11,163 --> 00:37:12,780
- You'd be saved.
- Okay.
772
00:37:12,831 --> 00:37:16,501
So now what's the CO2 equivalent
of the getting there on time?
773
00:37:16,535 --> 00:37:19,203
Shutting off the car
20 years ago.
774
00:37:20,756 --> 00:37:23,040
You sound like you're
saying it's hopeless.
775
00:37:23,042 --> 00:37:24,759
Yeah.
776
00:37:24,793 --> 00:37:27,345
Is that the administration's
position or yours?
777
00:37:27,379 --> 00:37:29,680
There isn't a position
on this any more than
778
00:37:29,715 --> 00:37:33,601
there's a position on the
temperature at which water boils.
779
00:37:33,635 --> 00:37:36,888
The administration...
Let me try to... Your administration...
780
00:37:36,890 --> 00:37:39,390
And don't forget
I need you to stretch 40.
781
00:37:39,392 --> 00:37:41,192
...clean coal,
nuclear power,
782
00:37:41,226 --> 00:37:42,977
raising fuel economy standards
783
00:37:43,028 --> 00:37:45,563
and building a more efficient
electrical grid.
784
00:37:45,614 --> 00:37:47,398
- Yes.
- And?
785
00:37:47,449 --> 00:37:49,650
That would have been great.
786
00:37:49,701 --> 00:37:51,869
Let's see if we can't
find a better spin.
787
00:37:51,904 --> 00:37:53,404
People are starting
their weekends.
788
00:37:53,455 --> 00:37:58,326
The report says we can release
565 more gigatons of CO2
789
00:37:58,377 --> 00:37:59,911
without the effects
being calamitous.
790
00:37:59,962 --> 00:38:01,913
It says we can only
release 565 gigatons.
791
00:38:01,964 --> 00:38:03,915
So,
what if we only release 564?
792
00:38:03,966 --> 00:38:06,968
Well, then we would have a
reasonable shot at some form
793
00:38:07,002 --> 00:38:09,420
of dystopian,
post-apocalyptic life.
794
00:38:09,422 --> 00:38:12,340
But the carbon dioxide
in the oil
795
00:38:12,391 --> 00:38:16,928
that we've already leased
is 2,795 gigatons.
796
00:38:16,979 --> 00:38:18,846
So...
797
00:38:20,566 --> 00:38:22,233
What would all this look like?
798
00:38:22,267 --> 00:38:26,187
Well, mass migrations,
food and water shortages,
799
00:38:26,271 --> 00:38:29,407
spread of deadly disease,
endless wildfires.
800
00:38:29,441 --> 00:38:32,109
Way too many to keep
under control.
801
00:38:32,111 --> 00:38:34,946
Storms that have the power
to level cities,
802
00:38:34,948 --> 00:38:38,332
blacken out the sky,
and create permanent darkness.
803
00:38:38,367 --> 00:38:41,536
Are you gonna get in trouble
for saying this publicly?
804
00:38:41,587 --> 00:38:42,920
Who cares?
805
00:38:42,955 --> 00:38:45,423
Mr. Westbrook,
we want to inform people,
806
00:38:45,457 --> 00:38:46,974
but we don't want
to alarm them.
807
00:38:47,009 --> 00:38:49,510
Can you give us a reason
to be optimistic?
808
00:38:49,545 --> 00:38:51,712
Well, that's the thing, Will.
809
00:38:51,763 --> 00:38:54,465
Americans are
optimistic by nature.
810
00:38:54,467 --> 00:38:57,852
And if we face
this problem head on,
811
00:38:57,886 --> 00:39:00,388
if we listen to our
best scientists,
812
00:39:00,439 --> 00:39:04,559
and act decisively
and passionately,
813
00:39:04,610 --> 00:39:06,477
I still don't see
any way we can survive.
814
00:39:06,479 --> 00:39:07,645
Okay, Richard Westbrook,
815
00:39:07,647 --> 00:39:10,114
Deputy Assistant
Administrator of the EPA.
816
00:39:10,148 --> 00:39:11,816
- Thank you for joining us.
- Thanks for having me.
817
00:39:11,867 --> 00:39:14,485
This is News Night.
We'll be back right after this.
818
00:39:15,537 --> 00:39:17,455
Herb?
819
00:39:17,489 --> 00:39:19,073
Yeah, yeah.
We're out.
820
00:39:34,423 --> 00:39:37,842
Is this a tactic,
making us wait?
821
00:39:37,893 --> 00:39:40,761
Have you done this?
822
00:39:40,812 --> 00:39:43,931
Look, US, US, US, US.
823
00:39:43,982 --> 00:39:46,817
We're on the same team.
824
00:39:46,852 --> 00:39:49,687
But, yes, it's a tactic.
825
00:39:49,738 --> 00:39:52,607
When we meet Pruit tomorrow night,
let's not mention this.
826
00:39:52,658 --> 00:39:54,692
He's gonna find out
sooner or later.
827
00:39:54,694 --> 00:39:56,527
I want it to be later,
after his check clears.
828
00:40:07,372 --> 00:40:10,174
- Maybe he's...
- Don't get up.
829
00:40:10,208 --> 00:40:12,927
I'm Barry Lasenthal,
Assistant Attorney General
830
00:40:12,961 --> 00:40:14,679
for National Security.
831
00:40:14,713 --> 00:40:17,048
- You're Rebecca Halliday?
- Yes, sir.
832
00:40:17,099 --> 00:40:19,183
You've let your clients know there'll
be no record of this meeting?
833
00:40:19,217 --> 00:40:20,801
- Yes.
- I wish there was.
834
00:40:20,852 --> 00:40:23,304
- What's that?
- I said I wish there was.
835
00:40:23,355 --> 00:40:25,356
Do you mind if I ask why
you're sitting so far away?
836
00:40:25,390 --> 00:40:27,975
I do mind.
Would you like to register a complaint?
837
00:40:29,361 --> 00:40:30,861
Reporters having their asses
838
00:40:30,896 --> 00:40:32,480
hauled into the Justice
Department doesn't sit well...
839
00:40:32,531 --> 00:40:34,949
I'll see that your concerns make
it straight to the children
840
00:40:34,983 --> 00:40:38,202
of undercover agents who've been killed
when their identities were made known.
841
00:40:39,738 --> 00:40:42,173
You're bringing out your queen a little early,
aren't you?
842
00:40:42,207 --> 00:40:45,409
Mr. Lasenthal,
our intention is to work with the FBI
843
00:40:45,411 --> 00:40:48,412
or any relevant officials
as we've always done in the past
844
00:40:48,447 --> 00:40:51,999
to ensure the story
is responsibly reported.
845
00:40:52,050 --> 00:40:53,651
But it'll be reported.
846
00:40:54,620 --> 00:40:56,220
Not my pig, not my farm.
847
00:40:57,222 --> 00:40:58,506
I don't know that expression.
848
00:40:58,557 --> 00:41:01,392
He's saying someone else
is handling the story.
849
00:41:01,426 --> 00:41:04,595
See,
Will is from Nebraska, too.
850
00:41:04,630 --> 00:41:06,864
But I wasn't recruited
by Nebraska,
851
00:41:06,898 --> 00:41:09,750
so I played fullback at A&M.
852
00:41:09,785 --> 00:41:14,071
And we lost to Nebraska
all four years I was there.
853
00:41:14,106 --> 00:41:16,407
Whew.
854
00:41:16,441 --> 00:41:18,609
The story is someone
else's concern.
855
00:41:18,660 --> 00:41:21,412
But I can tell you if you report
news that was gathered illegally,
856
00:41:21,446 --> 00:41:24,281
you'll face criminal fines in an
amount that will bankrupt you.
857
00:41:24,283 --> 00:41:26,083
They understand that.
Let's begin.
858
00:41:26,118 --> 00:41:27,835
My problem is what's
on that flash drive.
859
00:41:27,869 --> 00:41:29,620
- Let's begin.
- Are you running this meeting?
860
00:41:29,671 --> 00:41:32,757
- When I need to.
- How about we cool it, okay?
861
00:41:32,791 --> 00:41:35,543
You want to see what
information we can give you
862
00:41:35,594 --> 00:41:37,712
without us naming the source,
and that's fair.
863
00:41:37,763 --> 00:41:40,131
But any conversation
has to start
864
00:41:40,165 --> 00:41:43,467
with our knowing that Neal
Sampat is safe from prosecution.
865
00:41:44,469 --> 00:41:45,886
He is safe from prosecution.
866
00:41:45,937 --> 00:41:47,438
We need that in writing.
867
00:41:47,472 --> 00:41:50,141
Neal Sampat is in Maracaibo,
Venezuela.
868
00:41:53,895 --> 00:41:57,782
He flew there yesterday from Calgary
International Airport by way of Cuba.
869
00:41:57,816 --> 00:42:00,534
Not for nothing,
but this is a building full of lawyers
870
00:42:00,569 --> 00:42:03,237
who'd have no problem making
that look an awful lot to a jury
871
00:42:03,288 --> 00:42:06,157
like tradecraft from a
dark-skinned young man.
872
00:42:06,208 --> 00:42:07,875
Now maybe it's just
a coincidence,
873
00:42:07,909 --> 00:42:09,660
but in all three
of those pictures,
874
00:42:09,711 --> 00:42:12,163
he's looking over
his shoulder a little.
875
00:42:12,214 --> 00:42:14,248
He'll be doing that
for the rest of his life.
876
00:42:14,299 --> 00:42:16,500
- That's his punishment.
- Punishment for what?
877
00:42:16,551 --> 00:42:19,220
I don't believe what...
His punishment?
878
00:42:19,254 --> 00:42:21,672
Punishment for what?
879
00:42:21,674 --> 00:42:23,874
We're a couple of inches
away from being able
880
00:42:23,909 --> 00:42:26,177
to show he induced his source
to commit a felony.
881
00:42:26,179 --> 00:42:27,978
You're a long way off
from demonstrating
882
00:42:28,013 --> 00:42:29,847
that he had knowledge
he was committing a crime.
883
00:42:29,849 --> 00:42:32,983
Closer now that he's vacationing in a
country with no extradition treaty.
884
00:42:33,018 --> 00:42:36,353
Jesus Christ,
you scared the shit out of this kid.
885
00:42:36,405 --> 00:42:38,739
I've seen some things,
you know?
886
00:42:38,774 --> 00:42:43,327
I have been around,
but we've got to work on getting him back now.
887
00:42:43,361 --> 00:42:46,030
Counsel, ask your questions.
888
00:42:49,618 --> 00:42:52,369
What time did Mr. Sampat
first make contact?
889
00:42:52,371 --> 00:42:54,839
Monday evening, April 15.
A week ago Monday.
890
00:42:54,873 --> 00:42:56,207
Where was he at the time?
891
00:42:56,209 --> 00:42:58,008
His desk at ACN's
New York bureau.
892
00:42:58,043 --> 00:43:01,212
The source made contact with Mr. Sampat,
not the other way.
893
00:43:01,214 --> 00:43:03,347
My next question was
how was contact made.
894
00:43:03,381 --> 00:43:05,883
The source contacted
Neal over ACN.com
895
00:43:05,885 --> 00:43:07,134
and asked for his
encryption key.
896
00:43:07,185 --> 00:43:09,854
- And what was his response?
- To give it to him.
897
00:43:09,888 --> 00:43:11,972
And then the source asked for
a higher level of encryption?
898
00:43:12,023 --> 00:43:14,692
I won't answer that
at this time.
899
00:43:16,661 --> 00:43:18,446
Did Mr. Sampat tell you
the name of the source?
900
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,998
- Yes.
- Did he tell you anything else about the source?
901
00:43:21,032 --> 00:43:23,167
- Yes.
- Will you tell us the name of the source?
902
00:43:23,201 --> 00:43:25,836
- No, sir.
- Will you tell us anything else about the source?
903
00:43:25,871 --> 00:43:28,906
- No.
- Well, you've got a problem.
904
00:43:30,275 --> 00:43:32,109
For one thing,
it's a myth that the First Amendment
905
00:43:32,144 --> 00:43:34,962
protects you in situations like this.
Branzburg v. Hayes...
906
00:43:34,996 --> 00:43:37,414
Justice Powell made it clear
the exception exists.
907
00:43:37,416 --> 00:43:39,717
Not clear enough.
908
00:43:39,751 --> 00:43:43,387
A laptop computer was purchased
with your American Express card
909
00:43:43,421 --> 00:43:46,257
at the Best Buy at 44th
and 5th in Manhattan,
910
00:43:46,259 --> 00:43:50,294
but the signature on the receipt
doesn't match your handwriting.
911
00:43:50,328 --> 00:43:52,596
You gave your credit card
to Neal Sampat
912
00:43:52,598 --> 00:43:54,482
to buy an air-gapped computer,
right?
913
00:43:54,566 --> 00:43:56,066
This ends our cooperation.
914
00:43:56,101 --> 00:43:59,487
What I think is this is
exactly where you were going.
915
00:43:59,521 --> 00:44:04,074
See, what I think is that either to
protect Neal or be a hero or both,
916
00:44:04,109 --> 00:44:07,611
you engineered this whole thing
so that Neal was cleared out
917
00:44:07,613 --> 00:44:09,413
and you were left
holding the bag.
918
00:44:11,883 --> 00:44:14,869
But you forgot what else
was in the bag.
919
00:44:16,421 --> 00:44:18,756
This receipt.
920
00:44:20,592 --> 00:44:22,893
Who's the source, Will?
921
00:44:22,928 --> 00:44:24,762
No one has to know
you gave him up.
922
00:44:24,796 --> 00:44:27,498
No one has to know it was you.
923
00:44:32,103 --> 00:44:35,222
- I'll tell you what, Mr. Lasenthal.
- Yeah?
924
00:44:35,273 --> 00:44:38,809
- You're bad at this.
- Is that right?
925
00:44:40,011 --> 00:44:41,979
You come in here
like Brian Dennehy.
926
00:44:41,981 --> 00:44:45,032
You're at the other end of the table
'cause it's some Jedi mind shit
927
00:44:45,066 --> 00:44:47,201
you were taught at a three-day
seminar in Hilton Head.
928
00:44:47,235 --> 00:44:49,904
I was the one most apt
to cooperate.
929
00:44:49,955 --> 00:44:51,572
The agents must have
reported that to you.
930
00:44:51,623 --> 00:44:53,290
That's the signal
I was sending you.
931
00:44:53,325 --> 00:44:56,460
But you insulted our lawyer
and you insulted my producer
932
00:44:56,494 --> 00:44:58,829
who happens to be my fiancée,
which you also know.
933
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:00,798
And you insulted
Charlie Skinner,
934
00:45:00,832 --> 00:45:03,384
which your people would have told you
wasn't gonna make any of us happy.
935
00:45:03,418 --> 00:45:05,169
And you threatened
to bankrupt us
936
00:45:05,220 --> 00:45:07,054
and to have
the same PR operation
937
00:45:07,088 --> 00:45:11,008
that got 38 people killed
turn Neal into a radical.
938
00:45:11,010 --> 00:45:14,678
Yeah, I moved the pieces so
they'd end up looking like this.
939
00:45:14,729 --> 00:45:16,430
Except Neal's supposed
to be in a Super 8
940
00:45:16,481 --> 00:45:19,266
in Bayonne, New Jersey,
and not South America.
941
00:45:19,317 --> 00:45:22,186
And I did it because,
while I have no doubt
942
00:45:22,188 --> 00:45:24,738
that you'd shake Neal up and down
until he gave you the source,
943
00:45:24,773 --> 00:45:27,024
which would never happen,
944
00:45:27,026 --> 00:45:29,443
your jaw-dropping
government overreach
945
00:45:29,494 --> 00:45:34,098
simply won't extend to putting a
TV star in jail for contempt.
946
00:45:34,132 --> 00:45:38,085
You bungled this and I
can't help you anymore.
947
00:45:41,289 --> 00:45:43,457
That's it.
948
00:45:50,098 --> 00:45:52,299
I fucking hated
losing to Nebraska.
949
00:45:52,350 --> 00:45:55,052
I'd have thought you'd
have gotten used to it.
950
00:46:03,812 --> 00:46:06,647
I... Look, I get it.
951
00:46:06,698 --> 00:46:10,067
These days I look in the
mirror and I have to admit
952
00:46:10,118 --> 00:46:13,671
I'm not the strapping young Muslim
Socialist that I used to be.
953
00:46:19,494 --> 00:46:22,212
Time passes,
954
00:46:22,247 --> 00:46:23,914
you get a little grey.
955
00:46:32,590 --> 00:46:34,892
Hey.
956
00:46:34,926 --> 00:46:37,428
Uh, Hallie Shea, Jim Harper,
957
00:46:37,479 --> 00:46:39,229
this is Jack Spaniel.
958
00:46:39,264 --> 00:46:40,931
- Nice to meet you.
- It's nice to meet you.
959
00:46:40,982 --> 00:46:42,433
How'd you two meet?
960
00:46:42,484 --> 00:46:44,935
It was on a train
coming back from Boston.
961
00:46:44,937 --> 00:46:47,021
Maggie overheard a man
talking to a reporter,
962
00:46:47,072 --> 00:46:49,273
but passed on the story
because she didn't like
963
00:46:49,275 --> 00:46:51,442
that she slid down
in her seat to get it.
964
00:46:51,444 --> 00:46:53,610
The man she overheard was
so impressed by her ethics
965
00:46:53,612 --> 00:46:55,779
that he gave her an exclusive.
966
00:46:55,781 --> 00:46:57,114
I teach ethics,
967
00:46:57,116 --> 00:46:59,833
so I was vocationally
attracted to the situation.
968
00:46:59,868 --> 00:47:03,203
And the story you got in exchange was
that the world was coming to an end.
969
00:47:03,254 --> 00:47:05,255
Pretty good for a Friday.
970
00:47:05,290 --> 00:47:07,091
It almost sounds like something
you read in a tabloid.
971
00:47:07,125 --> 00:47:09,126
Hey,
nothing's wrong with tabloids.
972
00:47:09,177 --> 00:47:12,930
Elvis ever comes back,
you're not gonna read about it in The Washington Post.
973
00:47:12,964 --> 00:47:14,798
Good point.
974
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,134
We are gonna get
something to eat.
975
00:47:17,136 --> 00:47:19,053
Oh, okay.
976
00:47:21,890 --> 00:47:23,941
Was that for me,
the ethics parable?
977
00:47:23,975 --> 00:47:25,893
I hadn't heard that story
until just now.
978
00:47:25,944 --> 00:47:27,561
Charlie wants to see
everyone in five minutes
979
00:47:27,612 --> 00:47:29,313
in the kitchen in the west
side of the building.
980
00:47:29,315 --> 00:47:31,148
Okay.
981
00:47:32,617 --> 00:47:34,868
You're the one
who asked how they met.
982
00:47:39,657 --> 00:47:43,243
I sent in at least three jokes
that would have killed.
983
00:47:43,294 --> 00:47:45,713
Those guys never use my jokes.
You know why?
984
00:47:45,747 --> 00:47:48,048
- I do.
- Speech writer snobbery.
985
00:47:48,083 --> 00:47:49,666
I think it's something else.
986
00:47:49,701 --> 00:47:51,385
Mmm, taste this.
It's fantastic.
987
00:47:51,419 --> 00:47:53,003
What is it?
988
00:47:53,005 --> 00:47:54,388
I don't believe it.
He's here.
989
00:47:54,422 --> 00:47:57,341
Sir,
you really have to try this.
990
00:47:57,392 --> 00:47:59,176
Delicious, right?
991
00:48:01,429 --> 00:48:04,148
Don, Sloan.
992
00:48:04,182 --> 00:48:06,600
What a coincidence
seeing you together.
993
00:48:06,651 --> 00:48:08,068
Not really.
The whole staff is here.
994
00:48:08,103 --> 00:48:09,987
It's a little bit more
unusual that you're here.
995
00:48:10,021 --> 00:48:13,240
I'm a vice president at the seventh
largest media company in the world.
996
00:48:13,274 --> 00:48:15,492
- Wyatt thinks we're dating.
- You and him?
997
00:48:15,527 --> 00:48:17,578
- Me and you.
- Are you serious?
998
00:48:17,612 --> 00:48:19,747
- Yep.
- Don and me?
999
00:48:19,781 --> 00:48:21,949
Have you Googled
my romantic history?
1000
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,867
I date guys called
Mr. Chairman.
1001
00:48:23,918 --> 00:48:25,202
I date first round draft picks,
1002
00:48:25,204 --> 00:48:26,870
high second round
if it's a skill position.
1003
00:48:26,921 --> 00:48:29,089
You think I'm dating the EP
of a 10:00 PM newscast
1004
00:48:29,124 --> 00:48:31,959
that barely outrates
a rerun of Just Shoot Me?
1005
00:48:33,178 --> 00:48:36,430
I absolutely do.
And I'm gonna nail you.
1006
00:48:36,464 --> 00:48:37,965
Charlie wants to see
everyone in the kitchen
1007
00:48:38,016 --> 00:48:40,350
in the west end of the
building in five minutes.
1008
00:48:40,385 --> 00:48:42,352
Okay.
1009
00:48:42,387 --> 00:48:44,388
See ya.
1010
00:48:47,275 --> 00:48:50,561
- Was that too much before?
- That was way, way too much.
1011
00:48:52,063 --> 00:48:53,564
Excuse me.
1012
00:48:53,566 --> 00:48:55,783
Excuse me,
do you happen to have any Schweppes Bitter Lemon?
1013
00:48:55,817 --> 00:48:57,401
- Yes, ma'am.
- You have Schweppes?
1014
00:48:57,403 --> 00:48:58,786
It's Canada Dry, I think.
1015
00:48:58,820 --> 00:49:00,904
My boss has to have Schweppes.
1016
00:49:00,906 --> 00:49:03,624
Do you happen to know if there's a
nearby liquor store or a grocery store?
1017
00:49:03,658 --> 00:49:04,908
I think you'd have
to ask someone else.
1018
00:49:04,959 --> 00:49:06,994
They can carbonate lemon juice.
1019
00:49:07,045 --> 00:49:08,462
Your boss won't know
the difference.
1020
00:49:08,496 --> 00:49:10,914
- He will.
- He sounds like a dream come true.
1021
00:49:10,965 --> 00:49:13,333
- He's actually a...
- Charlie Skinner?
1022
00:49:13,384 --> 00:49:15,419
- Mr. Pruit.
- Lucas.
1023
00:49:15,470 --> 00:49:17,721
You're the man
I've been waiting for.
1024
00:49:17,755 --> 00:49:19,173
I looked for you
in the ballroom.
1025
00:49:19,224 --> 00:49:21,175
I had to step out for a
while to take a call.
1026
00:49:21,226 --> 00:49:22,926
- I knew I'd see you here.
- It's no problem.
1027
00:49:22,977 --> 00:49:24,728
I just looked for you
in the ballroom.
1028
00:49:24,762 --> 00:49:26,396
- I'm sorry about that.
- No, no need.
1029
00:49:26,431 --> 00:49:28,482
Like I said,
I had to take a call and I knew I'd see you here.
1030
00:49:28,516 --> 00:49:30,267
- Not a problem.
- What are you drinking?
1031
00:49:30,318 --> 00:49:33,987
Unflavored Absolut Vodka with a
capful of Schweppes Bitter Lemon
1032
00:49:34,022 --> 00:49:35,439
poured over ice
in a rocks glass.
1033
00:49:35,490 --> 00:49:37,324
They don't have
Schweppes Bitter Lemon.
1034
00:49:37,358 --> 00:49:40,577
It eludes me why that should ever be the case,
you know?
1035
00:49:40,612 --> 00:49:43,447
- It just eludes me.
- I'll go out to a store.
1036
00:49:43,449 --> 00:49:44,665
- Gwen.
- Yeah?
1037
00:49:44,699 --> 00:49:46,533
I'm not insane.
Just enjoy the party.
1038
00:49:46,584 --> 00:49:48,619
Thank you.
1039
00:49:51,289 --> 00:49:53,507
I don't think
she's gonna work out.
1040
00:49:53,541 --> 00:49:55,259
We'll make sure our
refrigerators are stocked.
1041
00:49:55,293 --> 00:49:57,461
Leona told me I'd be meeting
you in the ballroom
1042
00:49:57,512 --> 00:49:59,963
and then I'd be talking
to you here at the party.
1043
00:50:00,014 --> 00:50:01,548
That was the plan.
1044
00:50:01,599 --> 00:50:03,684
But then, unfortunately,
I had to take a call...
1045
00:50:03,718 --> 00:50:06,270
Work related?
The call.
1046
00:50:07,889 --> 00:50:10,190
Was the call...
1047
00:50:10,225 --> 00:50:12,693
No, it was my daughter,
as a matter of fact.
1048
00:50:12,727 --> 00:50:14,478
So we've met and now we're here
1049
00:50:14,529 --> 00:50:15,979
and I'm looking
forward to talking.
1050
00:50:16,030 --> 00:50:18,482
As I understand it,
you're our last best hope
1051
00:50:18,533 --> 00:50:19,983
for the network
to stay on the air.
1052
00:50:19,985 --> 00:50:23,153
If I was a man with no choices,
I'd kill myself.
1053
00:50:23,204 --> 00:50:26,373
Well, I guess that means I have a choice,
so...
1054
00:50:26,407 --> 00:50:28,742
Would you like to talk about
my intentions for the network?
1055
00:50:28,793 --> 00:50:31,545
Yes, sir, I would.
1056
00:51:08,700 --> 00:51:10,751
My name is Lilly.
1057
00:51:10,785 --> 00:51:12,703
- Pleased to meet you.
- You're MacKenzie?
1058
00:51:12,754 --> 00:51:14,705
ACN.
1059
00:51:14,707 --> 00:51:17,374
You're the one who decides
if and when to air a story?
1060
00:51:17,425 --> 00:51:20,544
I'm sorry,
can I ask what this is about?
1061
00:51:20,546 --> 00:51:22,429
I spoke to someone
who works for you.
1062
00:51:22,463 --> 00:51:24,097
About what?
1063
00:51:25,967 --> 00:51:28,218
I spoke to Neal.
1064
00:51:34,809 --> 00:51:38,111
- Are you saying...
- I'm the source.
1065
00:51:47,121 --> 00:51:48,739
Prove that.
1066
00:51:50,541 --> 00:51:53,627
38 people died in a riot in Kundu
because of disinformation we planted.
1067
00:51:53,661 --> 00:51:56,079
- Okay.
- Three of them...
1068
00:51:56,081 --> 00:51:58,999
- I sent Neal 27,000...
- Stop talking.
1069
00:52:00,918 --> 00:52:02,085
Let me tell you
what we're about.
1070
00:52:02,087 --> 00:52:03,503
Let me tell you what I'm about.
1071
00:52:03,554 --> 00:52:06,139
Disruption.
1072
00:52:06,174 --> 00:52:07,257
I can see fear in your eyes.
1073
00:52:07,259 --> 00:52:09,059
There almost always is.
1074
00:52:09,093 --> 00:52:12,512
What's an example of disruption as
it would apply to a news network?
1075
00:52:12,563 --> 00:52:15,315
User-generated content.
Crowdsourcing the news.
1076
00:52:15,350 --> 00:52:17,934
I'll tell you, Lucas,
we just had in Boston...
1077
00:52:17,986 --> 00:52:20,937
Boston was a bad instance
of crowdsourcing,
1078
00:52:20,939 --> 00:52:22,272
but it was still disruption.
1079
00:52:22,274 --> 00:52:24,825
Why one channel?
Why not 500?
1080
00:52:24,859 --> 00:52:26,360
With no cost for content.
1081
00:52:26,411 --> 00:52:28,745
No cost for content
on the other 499?
1082
00:52:28,780 --> 00:52:32,282
- I'm just trying...
- I'm not talking about guys with head-cams in Syria.
1083
00:52:32,284 --> 00:52:35,502
I don't know. Maybe I am.
A disaster channel.
1084
00:52:35,536 --> 00:52:37,537
A stalker channel.
I just did three. Now you.
1085
00:52:37,588 --> 00:52:41,008
A channel where professionals
investigate and report the news.
1086
00:52:41,042 --> 00:52:43,627
Danny Glover just came to mind.
1087
00:52:43,678 --> 00:52:45,462
We could have a channel
1088
00:52:45,464 --> 00:52:48,098
devoted to people who
are stalking Danny Glover.
1089
00:52:48,132 --> 00:52:50,133
- You think I'm kidding.
- No, I don't.
1090
00:52:50,135 --> 00:52:53,770
- They're gathering.
- Thanks.
1091
00:52:53,805 --> 00:52:55,689
I have to step away
for a few minutes,
1092
00:52:55,723 --> 00:52:57,691
but I'm looking forward
to talking more about this.
1093
00:52:57,725 --> 00:52:59,726
No, you're not,
but you will anyway.
1094
00:53:00,645 --> 00:53:02,396
Yeah.
1095
00:53:08,486 --> 00:53:12,289
You're at a party with nothing but
reporters and government officials.
1096
00:53:12,323 --> 00:53:14,324
They don't know
they're looking for me.
1097
00:53:14,375 --> 00:53:15,909
Why hasn't the story aired yet?
1098
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:19,663
You said we.
"We planted disinformation."
1099
00:53:19,665 --> 00:53:21,331
- You work for BCD?
- Yeah.
1100
00:53:21,333 --> 00:53:23,333
They're looking for someone
inside the Pentagon.
1101
00:53:23,384 --> 00:53:25,135
When is the story running?
1102
00:53:25,169 --> 00:53:27,587
- It's going to be reported.
- It's been a week.
1103
00:53:27,638 --> 00:53:30,340
We promised some people
we'd hold a moment.
1104
00:53:30,391 --> 00:53:34,428
- The government.
- We have to work with them on national security.
1105
00:53:34,479 --> 00:53:37,764
They're gonna tell you
everything is national security.
1106
00:53:39,016 --> 00:53:41,518
Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday.
1107
00:53:41,569 --> 00:53:44,271
If I don't see the story
on your air by Wednesday,
1108
00:53:44,322 --> 00:53:46,690
- I'm uploading it myself.
- You can't do that.
1109
00:53:46,692 --> 00:53:48,275
I'll just dump it
on Gwyneth Paltrow's blog.
1110
00:53:48,326 --> 00:53:50,110
We don't know everything
that's in it yet.
1111
00:53:50,161 --> 00:53:52,279
We have to work
with the government.
1112
00:53:52,330 --> 00:53:55,449
I don't like that you're
working with the government.
1113
00:53:55,500 --> 00:53:57,451
We don't want to get
people killed.
1114
00:53:57,502 --> 00:53:59,336
What about...
1115
00:54:09,380 --> 00:54:11,214
What about them?
1116
00:54:13,101 --> 00:54:15,435
A lot of people
are sacrificing for you.
1117
00:54:15,470 --> 00:54:18,522
I expect your
cooperation in return.
1118
00:54:18,556 --> 00:54:21,775
You'll have my cooperation
for 96 hours.
1119
00:54:21,809 --> 00:54:24,144
That should give you the time
to do what you need to do.
1120
00:54:24,195 --> 00:54:26,062
- Mac.
- Yeah?
1121
00:54:26,064 --> 00:54:28,398
Charlie's gathering everyone in the
kitchen on the west side of the building.
1122
00:54:28,449 --> 00:54:30,317
Okay.
1123
00:54:36,574 --> 00:54:38,408
The man had made his peace
with the end of the world.
1124
00:54:38,459 --> 00:54:40,544
- Hi.
- Did you know the interview was gonna be like that?
1125
00:54:40,578 --> 00:54:43,213
- Um, Mr. McAvoy.
- That's not what we were expecting, was it, Maggie?
1126
00:54:43,247 --> 00:54:46,550
- No.
- After 20 years at the EPA... Hi...
1127
00:54:46,584 --> 00:54:49,586
400 parts per million was about all
his sense of logic could handle
1128
00:54:49,588 --> 00:54:51,471
- and his mind packed up.
- I saw the interview, too.
1129
00:54:51,506 --> 00:54:53,757
When we went to commercial,
I asked him if he'd changed his behavior at all.
1130
00:54:53,759 --> 00:54:55,725
- He said he stopped buying lottery tickets.
- Mr. McAvoy.
1131
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,478
- I understand his frustration.
- Sir!
1132
00:55:05,102 --> 00:55:07,771
Guys, I'm sorry,
could you give me just a second?
1133
00:55:07,822 --> 00:55:10,524
I'm here all night.
Just a second.
1134
00:55:18,332 --> 00:55:20,667
That's a subpoena in your pocket,
right?
1135
00:55:21,786 --> 00:55:23,587
Sir, my name is Eli Shapiro.
1136
00:55:23,621 --> 00:55:25,172
I work for the US
Department of Justice.
1137
00:55:25,206 --> 00:55:27,674
- They sent an intern.
- I'm Rebecca Halliday.
1138
00:55:27,708 --> 00:55:29,843
- You're supposed to give that to me.
- Oh.
1139
00:55:29,877 --> 00:55:32,462
Uh, Mr. Mc...
1140
00:55:33,931 --> 00:55:36,466
- I'm sorry.
- Go ahead. Don't be nervous.
1141
00:55:36,517 --> 00:55:39,686
Mr. McAvoy,
this is a subpoena for you to be sworn in
1142
00:55:39,720 --> 00:55:43,273
before an investigative grand
jury at 1 St. Andrew's Plaza,
1143
00:55:43,307 --> 00:55:45,809
Monday,
April 29 at 10:00 AM.
1144
00:55:56,988 --> 00:56:00,407
You think it's possible I'm not
as big a TV star as I thought?
