00:00:14,014 --> 00:00:16,642
["Nemesis" playing]

00:01:47,149 --> 00:01:48,150
[music ends]

00:01:57,868 --> 00:02:01,371
[Laura on TV] The deal between UBA
and Hyperion founder Paul Marks
4
00:02:01,371 --> 00:02:03,999
moved one step closer to completion
this week,
5
00:02:03,999 --> 00:02:06,919
with UBA's board of directors
formally recommending
6
00:02:06,919 --> 00:02:11,340
that shareholders vote on the sale at
the company's annual meeting next month.
7
00:02:11,924 --> 00:02:15,636
Critics are calling the deal reckless,
even dangerous.
8
00:02:15,636 --> 00:02:19,556
And as a former employee of UBA,
I have to agree.
9
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:23,894
Should a billionaire
with an outsized aversion to the press
10
00:02:23,894 --> 00:02:26,522
be handed the keys
to a legacy media company
11
00:02:26,522 --> 00:02:30,108
at a time when truth matters
more than ever?
12
00:02:30,901 --> 00:02:32,986
[sighs]
13
00:02:32,986 --> 00:02:34,112
Everybody's jealous.
14
00:02:35,489 --> 00:02:37,824
[Paul] So, there's been a lot of noise
about this deal.
15
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:39,952
Big tech shouldn't be involved in media.
16
00:02:40,536 --> 00:02:43,747
Guys like me have too much influence,
too big a platform.
17
00:02:43,747 --> 00:02:44,665
We've heard it.
18
00:02:45,374 --> 00:02:48,085
Honestly, I'm probably the last person
that should be standing up here
19
00:02:48,085 --> 00:02:50,379
because I'm probably
the only person in this entire room
20
00:02:50,379 --> 00:02:51,755
that doesn't have a high school diploma.
21
00:02:51,755 --> 00:02:54,424
- But, uh... [chuckles] ...I want to be clear.
- [scattered chuckling]
22
00:02:54,424 --> 00:02:58,136
I know what you guys do is essential,
and I'm here to support that.
23
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,556
So, to that end,
24
00:03:00,556 --> 00:03:05,352
I am here to listen, uh, be available,
and hopefully to start the conversation.
25
00:03:05,352 --> 00:03:08,730
So, if anybody has any questions,
fire away.
26
00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:12,651
Yeah. What's your take on the hack?
And do we know who's behind it?
27
00:03:12,651 --> 00:03:15,821
- The operating theory right now is Russia.
- [UBA employees murmuring]
28
00:03:15,821 --> 00:03:18,866
But I'm happy to have my forensics team
drill down into that
29
00:03:18,866 --> 00:03:20,492
and hopefully get to the bottom of it.
30
00:03:20,492 --> 00:03:25,163
Rest assured that from here on out,
your data will be secure.
31
00:03:25,163 --> 00:03:28,375
That kind of thing does not happen
at Hyperion.
32
00:03:28,375 --> 00:03:31,086
[Mia] What about the people who work here
at The Morning Show?
33
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:34,882
In this kind of a situation,
a lot of times people are laid off.
34
00:03:34,882 --> 00:03:40,220
Right. Well, my intention is to expand
the news division, not to gut it.
35
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:42,973
It's probably a little too early
to get into the specifics of that.
36
00:03:42,973 --> 00:03:46,476
But once the ink is dry, we will review
the numbers.
37
00:03:48,478 --> 00:03:49,313
[clicks tongue]
38
00:03:49,313 --> 00:03:52,524
Yes, Alex. You don't have to
raise your hand. [chuckles]
39
00:03:53,275 --> 00:03:56,987
Um, Hyperion is
a multinational corporation,
40
00:03:56,987 --> 00:04:00,657
and you have close relationships
with governments, oligarchs--
41
00:04:00,657 --> 00:04:03,035
I'm not sure
I would characterize it that way, but...
42
00:04:03,035 --> 00:04:06,288
[Alex] Well, how can we be sure
that news stories about Hyperion,
43
00:04:06,288 --> 00:04:08,999
or its associates, won't be spiked?
44
00:04:09,625 --> 00:04:10,792
[Paul] Such as?
45
00:04:10,792 --> 00:04:14,796
Well, your company has contracts
with a number of law enforcement agencies.
46
00:04:14,796 --> 00:04:17,507
Alex... [chuckles]
...this is not a press conference.
47
00:04:17,507 --> 00:04:19,968
- We'll save that for after the deal.
- We're just asking questions.
48
00:04:19,968 --> 00:04:21,762
- It's o-- It's okay.
- [Alex] Just asking.
49
00:04:21,762 --> 00:04:23,180
Yeah. What? Was there a question?
50
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:25,390
There are concerns that a police force
in Arizona
51
00:04:25,390 --> 00:04:28,769
was using your security software to...
[inhales sharply]
52
00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:30,312
...racially profile certain people.
53
00:04:30,312 --> 00:04:31,647
[Paul] Um...
54
00:04:31,647 --> 00:04:33,899
Uh, Norma Rae is coming in
a little hot this morning.
55
00:04:33,899 --> 00:04:37,653
Well, right. Well, I'm not exactly sure
how to respond to a rumor. [chuckles]
56
00:04:37,653 --> 00:04:40,739
I'm just saying it's a possibility
that there's a conflict of interest here.
57
00:04:40,739 --> 00:04:43,325
Uh, you know, on a number of issues.
58
00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:45,369
- [mouthing] Yeah.
- [Paul] I've stated it before.
59
00:04:45,369 --> 00:04:49,581
I have absolutely no desire to determine
what is and what isn't newsworthy.
60
00:04:49,581 --> 00:04:52,751
That is Stella Bak's job,
and she is more than capable of doing it.
61
00:04:53,377 --> 00:04:54,753
Does that answer your question?
62
00:04:54,753 --> 00:04:55,879
Not entirely.
63
00:04:56,421 --> 00:04:57,840
- [chuckles]
- [Alex chuckles]
64
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:02,135
Okay.
Well, why don't we sidebar that for later?
65
00:05:03,262 --> 00:05:05,180
Oh, God. Are you kidding me?
66
00:05:05,931 --> 00:05:06,932
Alex... [sighs]
67
00:05:06,932 --> 00:05:10,894
...if you could avoid accusing
our new partner
68
00:05:10,894 --> 00:05:14,064
of racially profiling the good people
of Arizona, that would be swell.
69
00:05:14,064 --> 00:05:15,691
We don't know what this guy does...
70
00:05:15,691 --> 00:05:17,192
- [scoffs]
- ...or who he does it with.
71
00:05:17,693 --> 00:05:19,903
I personally just think
it's a reasonable thing to ask.
72
00:05:19,903 --> 00:05:21,572
Legal will be happy to walk you through
73
00:05:21,572 --> 00:05:24,241
- Paul's extensive business interests.
- [sighs]
74
00:05:24,241 --> 00:05:26,285
But whatever personal thing you two have--
75
00:05:26,285 --> 00:05:28,829
[stammers] I'm sorry. Personal?
76
00:05:30,247 --> 00:05:33,584
I saw your Miss Saigon helicopter arrival.
We all did.
77
00:05:33,584 --> 00:05:36,461
You mean when I single-handedly
brought him back to the table
78
00:05:36,461 --> 00:05:37,588
and saved your little deal?
79
00:05:37,588 --> 00:05:39,965
A deal you blew up in the first place?
No, no, no, no.
80
00:05:39,965 --> 00:05:42,843
You-You can't set a fire and then expect
a cookie when you put it out.
81
00:05:42,843 --> 00:05:44,761
Okay, I get it. All right? I get it.
82
00:05:44,761 --> 00:05:47,222
I pushed him out of the boat.
Brought him back into the boat.
83
00:05:47,222 --> 00:05:48,849
- And it might've all been a little hasty.
- [sighs]
84
00:05:48,849 --> 00:05:52,186
But now we have him back.
So we have to just do our due diligence.
85
00:05:54,188 --> 00:05:56,648
I want him on my show.
I wanna interview him.
86
00:05:59,818 --> 00:06:02,362
We're close to
the finish line on a negotiation
87
00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:05,532
- that has taken two fucking years...
- Two years.
88
00:06:05,532 --> 00:06:08,410
...and every Ivy League lawyer
from DC to Westchester,
89
00:06:08,410 --> 00:06:11,163
so can we skip you steering
that little boat of yours
90
00:06:11,163 --> 00:06:12,623
right onto the fucking rocks?
91
00:06:12,623 --> 00:06:14,291
Okay, Cory. [inhales deeply]
92
00:06:14,291 --> 00:06:17,252
I want this deal to go through
just as bad as you do.
93
00:06:17,252 --> 00:06:19,546
But there are a lot of skeptics out there.
94
00:06:19,546 --> 00:06:23,217
- I get it. I get it. No, I see. I see.
- Great.
95
00:06:23,217 --> 00:06:26,595
You really do. You wanna be a partner.
You want that seat at the grown-up table.
96
00:06:26,595 --> 00:06:29,264
- But it's not your turn, Alex.
- Wow.
97
00:06:29,264 --> 00:06:32,226
- I need you to cease and desist.
- Mmm.
98
00:06:32,226 --> 00:06:34,102
It's over. We vetted him.
99
00:06:34,686 --> 00:06:35,687
I haven't.
100
00:06:36,188 --> 00:06:37,898
- [Amanda] Knock, knock.
- [chuckles]
101
00:06:38,732 --> 00:06:40,192
- Is this a bad time?
- Mm-mmm.
102
00:06:40,192 --> 00:06:42,736
- [chuckles] Not at all. Please, come in.
- Yeah, I was just leaving. So...
103
00:06:42,736 --> 00:06:44,863
- Okay, thanks, Cory.
- Thank you, Alex.
104
00:06:47,324 --> 00:06:48,408
Good to see you again, Alex.
105
00:06:48,992 --> 00:06:49,993
Nice to see you.
106
00:06:49,993 --> 00:06:51,161
[grunts] Okay.
107
00:06:52,371 --> 00:06:54,081
- [sighs]
- What was that all about?
108
00:06:54,081 --> 00:06:57,668
Uh, well, welcome to the wonderful world
of talent management.
109
00:06:59,086 --> 00:07:01,255
- [knocking]
- [sighs]
110
00:07:03,757 --> 00:07:04,633
[Bradley] Hi. [chuckles]
111
00:07:04,633 --> 00:07:06,969
- Hey. Hi. Sorry, we're, uh-- We're early.
- [spouse] Hey.
112
00:07:06,969 --> 00:07:09,179
- [Bradley] First time for you.
- [Hal chuckles, grunts] Okay.
113
00:07:09,179 --> 00:07:11,014
- You must be Cheryl. Hi, hi, hi, hi.
- Sorry. [groans]
114
00:07:11,014 --> 00:07:12,474
- [Cheryl] Mmm.
- [Bradley chuckles]
115
00:07:12,474 --> 00:07:14,434
- It's so great to finally meet you.
- Okay.
116
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:17,271
- It's nice to meet you too.
- [sighs] You're even prettier in person.
117
00:07:17,271 --> 00:07:18,939
Oh, thank you. [chuckles]
118
00:07:18,939 --> 00:07:21,400
- [gasps] And this must be Taylor.
- Yeah.
119
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,485
- [Bradley] Taylor, hi. Oh, h-- Okay.
- Why don't you say hi?
120
00:07:23,485 --> 00:07:27,406
- [Taylor babbles]
- Hi. Oh, it's okay. It's okay. Yeah?
121
00:07:27,406 --> 00:07:30,158
- Hi, I'm your auntie Bradley. [chuckles]
- [Hal chuckling] Yeah.
122
00:07:30,158 --> 00:07:33,412
- Hmm. Look at her.
- She kinda has Mom's face a little bit.
123
00:07:33,412 --> 00:07:35,497
- That freaks me out a little.
- Oh, yeah.
124
00:07:36,498 --> 00:07:38,584
- I mean... Dada. [chuckles]
- I'm a dad.
125
00:07:38,584 --> 00:07:39,877
- That's me. I did it.
- Wow.
126
00:07:39,877 --> 00:07:42,379
- Okay. Come on in, you guys.
- Thank you.
127
00:07:42,379 --> 00:07:43,589
Make yourselves at home.
128
00:07:44,089 --> 00:07:45,424
- Wow.
- [exhales heavily]
129
00:07:45,424 --> 00:07:47,926
Cheryl, I don't know how to deal with
130
00:07:47,926 --> 00:07:49,469
- that pack-and-play thing.
- No, no, no, no.
131
00:07:49,469 --> 00:07:52,139
- Don't worry. They're impossible.
- [Bradley chuckling] Yeah.
132
00:07:53,432 --> 00:07:55,434
- Oh. That's how you do that.
- That's how you do that.
133
00:07:55,434 --> 00:07:56,727
[Cheryl laughs]
134
00:07:56,727 --> 00:07:58,645
I can't wait to see you do the news.
135
00:07:58,645 --> 00:07:59,938
- [chuckles]
- Oh, right.
136
00:07:59,938 --> 00:08:01,023
Oh, uh, hey.
137
00:08:01,023 --> 00:08:04,026
I-I don't know if we're gonna have time
with the size of your to-do list, babe.
138
00:08:04,026 --> 00:08:05,235
[Cheryl] Oh, really?
139
00:08:05,235 --> 00:08:07,279
- [Hal] Uh, maybe next time. Right, Brad?
- Yeah.
140
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:08,739
But your bedroom's straight ahead...
141
00:08:08,739 --> 00:08:09,948
- Thank you.
- ...and I'll be right there.
142
00:08:09,948 --> 00:08:13,744
- Hey, Brad. Are you, like, a prepper now?
- I'm not gonna let you starve on my watch.
143
00:08:13,744 --> 00:08:16,413
All right,
I am gonna go help your lovely wife.
144
00:08:17,372 --> 00:08:19,708
[Cheryl] I'm gonna send you some stuff
from your mom's house.
145
00:08:19,708 --> 00:08:22,085
- Her Hummels would look perfect in here.
- [sighs]
146
00:08:22,085 --> 00:08:24,546
- [Bradley] Oh. I don't really-- Hummels?
- [Cheryl] Mm-hmm.
147
00:08:24,546 --> 00:08:27,799
[Bradley] Okay. [stammers]
Uh, yeah, that-- that would be nice.
148
00:08:27,799 --> 00:08:29,051
- [Glen] Great to meet you.
- [Paul] Indeed.
149
00:08:29,051 --> 00:08:30,761
- [Paul] We'll see the next time.
- [Glen] Yep.
150
00:08:32,095 --> 00:08:33,554
- Glen.
- Love that guy.
151
00:08:34,056 --> 00:08:36,933
- Stella Bak. There she is.
- What's up?
152
00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:39,269
- You're running late?
- [chuckles] Sorry. Yeah.
153
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:44,566
Sports wants to build out programming
based on my Formula One team.
154
00:08:44,566 --> 00:08:46,401
- They had a lot of ideas.
- Yeah.
155
00:08:46,401 --> 00:08:49,112
- They've been banned from staff retreats.
- [chuckles]
156
00:08:50,239 --> 00:08:53,200
Look at you... [sighs]
...running a major news division.
157
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,911
Look at you, buying a major media company.
158
00:08:55,911 --> 00:08:58,247
I always knew
you'd end up at a place like this.
159
00:08:58,872 --> 00:09:02,167
I remember you telling me
that I wasn't cut out for tech.
160
00:09:02,751 --> 00:09:05,754
And you ignored me,
and you built your own start-up.
161
00:09:05,754 --> 00:09:06,964
Yeah.
162
00:09:06,964 --> 00:09:08,465
I've been keeping my eye on you.
163
00:09:08,465 --> 00:09:10,425
You're one of the reasons
I'm interested in this place.
164
00:09:11,218 --> 00:09:12,094
Huh.
165
00:09:12,094 --> 00:09:15,347
So, UBA News. What's on your wish list?
166
00:09:15,347 --> 00:09:16,598
Cutting right to it.
167
00:09:17,474 --> 00:09:19,685
- Well, I am running late.
- Yeah.
168
00:09:20,602 --> 00:09:23,230
I want more political coverage,
starting with midterms.
169
00:09:23,730 --> 00:09:27,359
Even Gen Z are watching network TV
when democracy is a cliff-hanger.
170
00:09:27,359 --> 00:09:28,277
Okay.
171
00:09:28,277 --> 00:09:30,696
And we're missing huge market shares
in digital.
172
00:09:30,696 --> 00:09:32,906
UBA could piggyback on your search engine
173
00:09:32,906 --> 00:09:36,660
and create a hybrid site with curated
headlines based on search histories.
174
00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:41,039
So you need resources to go
on the offensive using my technology.
175
00:09:43,709 --> 00:09:44,960
Why are you here?
176
00:09:46,670 --> 00:09:50,132
And-- And don't tell me it's to save
the fourth estate.
177
00:09:52,176 --> 00:09:53,594
[inhales deeply]
178
00:09:54,303 --> 00:09:57,222
This place has been treading water
since Cory took over. Don't you think?
179
00:09:57,222 --> 00:09:58,891
We've had our share of challenges.
180
00:09:59,933 --> 00:10:01,185
Why are you covering for him?
181
00:10:02,895 --> 00:10:05,647
- [door opens]
- Paul. It's time.
182
00:10:06,732 --> 00:10:09,318
- It's time. [sighs] Okay.
- Amanda.
183
00:10:09,318 --> 00:10:10,444
Stella.
184
00:10:10,444 --> 00:10:14,156
Great seeing you. We'll talk again.
Let's get a drink.
185
00:10:17,659 --> 00:10:19,203
What is next?
186
00:10:32,591 --> 00:10:35,052
- [Cheryl gasps] This view!
- [Bradley chuckling]
187
00:10:35,636 --> 00:10:39,014
[sighs] Wow. Wow.
188
00:10:39,014 --> 00:10:40,182
[Hal, Bradley chuckle]
189
00:10:40,182 --> 00:10:41,850
They don't call it the "Summit"
for nothing.
190
00:10:44,645 --> 00:10:47,314
The Empire State Building looks gorgeous.
191
00:10:48,190 --> 00:10:50,484
All I can think of is
Sleepless in Seattle.
192
00:10:50,484 --> 00:10:53,028
Yeah. Which I have now seen,
like, 20 times.
193
00:10:53,028 --> 00:10:54,279
- [Cheryl chuckles]
- Really?
194
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:55,948
- Yeah.
- I've never seen it. Is it good?
195
00:10:55,948 --> 00:10:57,074
- You would love it.
- Yes.
196
00:10:57,074 --> 00:10:58,367
- You would absolute--
- Really?
197
00:10:58,367 --> 00:11:01,161
- No, you would not love it. [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
198
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:02,788
- [Taylor crying]
- Uh-oh.
199
00:11:02,788 --> 00:11:04,665
- Hmm. Oh.
- Uh-oh.
200
00:11:04,665 --> 00:11:07,167
[Cheryl] Aw, it's all the excitement.
201
00:11:07,167 --> 00:11:08,585
[Hal] I think she's hungry, babe.
202
00:11:09,419 --> 00:11:11,380
[Cheryl] Just give us a minute. Mmm.
203
00:11:14,132 --> 00:11:17,094
It's okay, baby. Mama's got you.
204
00:11:18,136 --> 00:11:19,680
- I love her.
- Yeah?
205
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:22,057
Oh, my gosh. Yes, she's amazing.
206
00:11:22,057 --> 00:11:23,141
[inhales deeply]
207
00:11:23,141 --> 00:11:24,393
Don't mess it up.
208
00:11:26,353 --> 00:11:27,354
[both chuckle]
209
00:11:27,354 --> 00:11:30,732
Yeah.
I'll, uh-- I'll try not to mess it up.
210
00:11:32,359 --> 00:11:34,695
Hey, I-- [sighs]
I didn't mean it like that.
211
00:11:34,695 --> 00:11:35,779
I'm proud of you.
212
00:11:35,779 --> 00:11:37,447
Hey, can I-I tell you something?
213
00:11:38,115 --> 00:11:38,991
Yeah.
214
00:11:40,576 --> 00:11:42,995
I'm turning myself in
for what I done at the Capitol.
215
00:11:44,538 --> 00:11:46,707
- What?
- [Hal breathes shakily]
216
00:11:46,707 --> 00:11:48,000
Two days from now,
217
00:11:48,584 --> 00:11:50,711
I'm gonna send Cheryl and the baby home,
218
00:11:50,711 --> 00:11:52,629
and I'm going into the FBI field office.
219
00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:54,423
She doesn't know anything about it yet,
220
00:11:54,423 --> 00:11:57,092
so I'd appreciate it
if you didn't say anything.
221
00:11:59,970 --> 00:12:04,349
[sighing] Oh, my God, Hal. [sighs]
222
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:08,812
You don't need me to tell you
how stupid that is, do you?
223
00:12:10,814 --> 00:12:12,774
They are going to find me.
224
00:12:13,358 --> 00:12:15,194
Are you cra--
They're going through the footage.
225
00:12:15,194 --> 00:12:17,487
- They're pulling in everybody.
- Oh, my God.
226
00:12:17,988 --> 00:12:21,533
But they go easier on you
if you turn yourself in.
227
00:12:21,533 --> 00:12:23,160
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
228
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,623
I do not need the FBI kicking my door in,
pointing a gun-- [stammers]
229
00:12:27,623 --> 00:12:29,750
No, Hal. Just no.
230
00:12:31,585 --> 00:12:33,962
Brad, I'll-- I'll keep you out of it.
231
00:12:33,962 --> 00:12:36,173
How are you gonna keep me out of it?
232
00:12:37,132 --> 00:12:39,718
Five minutes after you confess to the FBI,
233
00:12:39,718 --> 00:12:42,971
they-they are gonna charge me
with destroying evidence
234
00:12:42,971 --> 00:12:45,224
and-and making a false statement.
235
00:12:45,224 --> 00:12:47,226
Both of those are felonies, Hal.
236
00:12:47,226 --> 00:12:49,269
No, I'm sorry. You can't do that.
237
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:53,774
We have to put this behind us. This is--
[whispering] This is already behind us.
238
00:12:54,358 --> 00:12:57,778
I have already made up my mind.
I am doing this.
239
00:12:59,613 --> 00:13:00,948
I just wanna let you know.
240
00:13:15,003 --> 00:13:17,047
[humming]
241
00:13:17,047 --> 00:13:18,382
[knocks]
242
00:13:18,382 --> 00:13:19,675
- [Paul] Hi.
- [Alex] Hi.
243
00:13:20,467 --> 00:13:22,886
- You summoned me. Is this our sidebar?
- [chuckles]
244
00:13:22,886 --> 00:13:25,973
Yes, it-it is. Come on in. Have a seat.
245
00:13:26,557 --> 00:13:27,558
What can I do for you?
246
00:13:27,558 --> 00:13:31,645
[sighs] Well, I-- I have a request.
247
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:33,814
You wanna meet my favorite oligarch?
248
00:13:33,814 --> 00:13:35,649
Mmm. No.
249
00:13:35,649 --> 00:13:38,485
Well, uh, I would--
I'd like to interview you.
250
00:13:39,152 --> 00:13:41,738
- I'd love you on my show.
- Hmm.
251
00:13:41,738 --> 00:13:43,991
I know. I know you don't do interviews.
I know.
252
00:13:43,991 --> 00:13:47,160
- But people are skeptical.
- Yeah, so you say.
253
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,039
And I think it's a legitimate concern
for the shareholders.
254
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:55,961
And this would be a beautiful opportunity
for you to tuck them in and show them
255
00:13:55,961 --> 00:13:58,297
- why they should support this deal.
- Yes.
256
00:13:58,297 --> 00:14:00,966
I also think it would be
a great opportunity for you.
257
00:14:00,966 --> 00:14:05,220
[stammers] I said yes. Happy to do that.
258
00:14:06,263 --> 00:14:09,474
- Yes. Oh.
- So... [sighs]
259
00:14:09,474 --> 00:14:11,101
No questions in advance.
That kind of thing?
260
00:14:11,101 --> 00:14:13,353
- That's how your show works, right?
- Mm-hmm.
261
00:14:14,980 --> 00:14:16,106
Yes.
262
00:14:16,106 --> 00:14:19,234
And I-I assume
you don't have a problem with that.
263
00:14:19,234 --> 00:14:20,861
Okay. How's Thursday?
264
00:14:22,070 --> 00:14:23,530
Thursday. This Thur-- This Thur--
265
00:14:23,530 --> 00:14:25,365
- This Thursday, Thursday?
- Yeah.
266
00:14:25,365 --> 00:14:29,077
I have to be in Texas next week.
So, sorry.
267
00:14:29,077 --> 00:14:34,499
No. Um, yes, Thursday. That's great.
Thursday it is. Perfect.
268
00:14:34,499 --> 00:14:35,667
Where?
269
00:14:37,836 --> 00:14:39,755
Do you have a residence in this time zone?
270
00:14:39,755 --> 00:14:41,173
- [both chuckle]
- [sighs]
271
00:14:41,173 --> 00:14:42,758
We can certainly use my place
in the Hamptons.
272
00:14:42,758 --> 00:14:45,093
- I can have Amanda set that up.
- Oh, great.
273
00:14:46,345 --> 00:14:47,888
Did you think I was gonna say no?
274
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,475
Yes. Uh, kinda. I d-- [chuckles]
275
00:14:51,475 --> 00:14:53,936
Well, I think you're right.
276
00:14:53,936 --> 00:14:55,812
I don't want there to be
any misunderstandings
277
00:14:55,812 --> 00:14:57,814
about what's going on here...
278
00:14:57,814 --> 00:15:00,859
- Mmm. Yeah.
- ...with the deal.
279
00:15:00,859 --> 00:15:03,946
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. [inhales deeply]
280
00:15:03,946 --> 00:15:07,324
Um, right. So there. That's it. Great.
281
00:15:07,324 --> 00:15:11,745
I mean... [stammers] ...Thursday it is,
in the Hamptons. So nice. All right.
282
00:15:11,745 --> 00:15:14,039
- I'm really looking forward to it.
- Me too.
283
00:15:14,039 --> 00:15:15,457
Great. Okay.
284
00:15:16,625 --> 00:15:19,419
- Uh, you know, this is your dressing room.
- [sighs, muttering] Oh, fuck.
285
00:15:20,295 --> 00:15:21,755
Shouldn't I be the one to go?
286
00:15:24,758 --> 00:15:26,927
I say we splurge. It's our anniversary.
287
00:15:26,927 --> 00:15:28,387
What? It's not until June.
288
00:15:28,387 --> 00:15:31,223
No, it's not. It is April 30th.
Don't you remember?
289
00:15:31,974 --> 00:15:34,685
When we secretly held hands in the park
while we were covering the mobile morgue?
290
00:15:34,685 --> 00:15:37,062
- So romantic.
- That's when you're counting from?
291
00:15:37,062 --> 00:15:40,190
- Well, when do you count it?
- Our first kiss. Like a normal person.
292
00:15:40,190 --> 00:15:42,359
Come on. Niagara honeymoon package.
293
00:15:42,985 --> 00:15:45,779
Bottle of champagne. Cascading waterfall.
294
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:47,948
Honeymoon package?
295
00:15:48,615 --> 00:15:50,659
I mean,
that's just what they call it, but...
296
00:15:52,244 --> 00:15:53,078
Okay.
297
00:15:54,121 --> 00:15:55,330
- Okay?
- Okay.
298
00:15:56,331 --> 00:15:58,542
Hey, so-- Very subtle.
299
00:15:58,542 --> 00:16:00,752
I need background on Paul Marks.
I'm interviewing him.
300
00:16:00,752 --> 00:16:03,005
Wait, what? Uh,
I thought that guy had a camera allergy.
301
00:16:03,005 --> 00:16:04,423
Well, he just got over it.
302
00:16:04,923 --> 00:16:06,717
Okay. And Cory signed off on this?
303
00:16:06,717 --> 00:16:09,469
I don't need Cory's permission
to interview him, all right?
304
00:16:09,469 --> 00:16:11,054
I want the world to know
we're an open book
305
00:16:11,054 --> 00:16:12,139
and we have nothing to hide.
306
00:16:12,139 --> 00:16:15,601
Okay? It's happening.
It's happening. And in two days.
307
00:16:15,601 --> 00:16:16,935
- [stammers] What?
- What?
308
00:16:16,935 --> 00:16:18,187
- What?
- [Chip] No.
309
00:16:18,187 --> 00:16:19,479
[chuckles] No.
310
00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:21,231
You see,
I can't prep an interview in two days,
311
00:16:21,231 --> 00:16:22,399
especially for someone like him.
312
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:23,817
That's not possible.
313
00:16:23,817 --> 00:16:26,236
Well, you're just gonna have to
put your social life on hold.
314
00:16:26,236 --> 00:16:30,073
[gasps] Wait a second.
You are each other's social life.
315
00:16:30,073 --> 00:16:31,158
Oh, this will be fun.
316
00:16:31,158 --> 00:16:33,243
You're just gonna get to cuddle,
read press clippings.
317
00:16:33,243 --> 00:16:35,370
- You love that joke so much. Yeah.
- [Alex] I do.
318
00:16:35,370 --> 00:16:37,706
Listen, I have
the whole research department on it.
319
00:16:37,706 --> 00:16:40,042
It's gonna happen, and we can do it.
You can do it.
320
00:16:40,042 --> 00:16:42,169
[sighs]
321
00:16:43,128 --> 00:16:44,671
All right, fuck it. Let's do it.
322
00:16:44,671 --> 00:16:45,881
Okay. You put out feelers,
323
00:16:45,881 --> 00:16:48,634
find out anyone who's related to him
or has slept with him. God willing, both.
324
00:16:48,634 --> 00:16:50,427
- Maybe somebody goes on the record.
- Yep. I'll get into it.
325
00:16:50,427 --> 00:16:51,512
- Okay. Great.
- [Alex] Mm-hmm.
326
00:16:51,512 --> 00:16:54,848
You know, he has bought or built dozens
of companies in the past 20 years.
327
00:16:54,848 --> 00:16:57,559
There's gotta be somebody who knows
something, right? Or hates his guts.
328
00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:02,105
Okay. [sighs] Okay, here we go.
We're gonna do this.
329
00:17:04,023 --> 00:17:05,733
- [knocks]
- You got a sec?
330
00:17:05,733 --> 00:17:07,236
- Yeah. Come in.
- Great.
331
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:10,113
[sighs] You, um...
332
00:17:10,113 --> 00:17:13,407
[clicks tongue] ...crossed paths
with Paul Marks in Silicon Valley, right?
333
00:17:14,242 --> 00:17:15,743
Briefly. Why?
334
00:17:16,494 --> 00:17:17,621
What was he like back then?
335
00:17:18,121 --> 00:17:19,122
Mmm, I don't know.
336
00:17:19,122 --> 00:17:20,749
[stammers] Same as now.
337
00:17:20,749 --> 00:17:23,460
- Charming. Tall. [chuckles]
- Right.
338
00:17:24,127 --> 00:17:27,839
Um, you ever, like, hear any shit
about him or anything?
339
00:17:29,091 --> 00:17:30,592
What do you mean exactly?
340
00:17:30,592 --> 00:17:33,887
You know, "shit."
Like a hit-and-run, dead strippers,
341
00:17:33,887 --> 00:17:35,639
blood transfusions from a 12-year-old boy.
342
00:17:35,639 --> 00:17:37,057
- That kind of thing, you know.
- Oh.
343
00:17:37,558 --> 00:17:41,478
Honestly... [inhales sharply]
...I barely knew him. I was still in school.
344
00:17:43,063 --> 00:17:44,064
So...
345
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,151
- Right, okay. I just figured-- Maybe.
- Mm-hmm.
346
00:17:50,571 --> 00:17:51,572
Why do you wanna know?
347
00:17:52,072 --> 00:17:57,202
Well, he and Alex are going to sit down
and talk on the record.
348
00:17:57,828 --> 00:17:58,829
[Stella] Hmm.
349
00:17:58,829 --> 00:18:02,374
So, obviously, if you think of anything...
350
00:18:03,083 --> 00:18:04,084
Yeah, yeah. Sure.
351
00:18:04,084 --> 00:18:05,377
Okay. Thanks.
352
00:18:17,306 --> 00:18:18,891
[Cheryl] I wanna hit all five boroughs.
353
00:18:18,891 --> 00:18:23,103
And there's a ferry to Staten Island
that takes you right past Lady Liberty.
354
00:18:23,103 --> 00:18:25,480
- How much is that?
- It's actually free.
355
00:18:25,981 --> 00:18:27,274
- [Cheryl] Really? It's free?
- Mmm.
356
00:18:27,274 --> 00:18:29,318
Definitely adding that to the list.
357
00:18:29,318 --> 00:18:32,696
And don't forget, babe, we have to hit
FAO Schwarz for the munchkin.
358
00:18:33,405 --> 00:18:35,157
What do you guys think
about swinging by UBA?
359
00:18:36,283 --> 00:18:37,284
Wow. Could we?
360
00:18:37,284 --> 00:18:39,453
Yeah,
I'll give you the whole VIP experience.
361
00:18:39,453 --> 00:18:42,206
You can watch me pre-tape a segment
for the Evening News.
362
00:18:42,206 --> 00:18:44,791
[Cheryl] Uh, yes, please. Yes.
363
00:18:44,791 --> 00:18:46,502
It's my pleasure. It'll be fun.
364
00:18:46,502 --> 00:18:51,215
Thank you. This is so exciting.
I can't wait to tell everyone back home.
365
00:18:51,215 --> 00:18:53,759
Hal, this is great.
I don't know what to wear.
366
00:19:02,309 --> 00:19:04,228
[Cheryl] I think you look incredible
sitting up there.
367
00:19:04,228 --> 00:19:05,812
- [Bradley] Oh, thank you.
- [Cheryl] Don't you think, babe?
368
00:19:05,812 --> 00:19:08,232
{\an8}- [Hal] Yeah.
- Yes, I know you've been here before.
369
00:19:08,232 --> 00:19:10,692
Yeah, it was a while ago.
370
00:19:10,692 --> 00:19:12,986
Hal, good to see you again.
And you must be Cheryl.
371
00:19:12,986 --> 00:19:15,864
Yes.
Thank you so much for the VIP treatment.
372
00:19:15,864 --> 00:19:18,992
Well, it's not as flashy as
The Morning Show, but we do all right.
373
00:19:18,992 --> 00:19:20,994
Bradley,
this guy's having some tech issues,
374
00:19:20,994 --> 00:19:22,162
so the signal might drop.
375
00:19:22,162 --> 00:19:24,248
Yeah, no worries.
Thank you for organizing it.
376
00:19:24,248 --> 00:19:25,832
I know it was a bit of a scramble.
377
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:29,670
I still think we should hold this one
until the hearings start in June.
378
00:19:29,670 --> 00:19:31,046
We can discuss later.
379
00:19:31,046 --> 00:19:32,881
[stammers]
Is this gonna be on the news tonight?
380
00:19:35,509 --> 00:19:36,552
It will indeed.
381
00:19:37,302 --> 00:19:39,555
- Do you guys wanna step back here?
- Oh, all right.
382
00:19:40,472 --> 00:19:42,808
- [Bradley] We're good to go?
- [Gayle] Counting you in now.
383
00:19:42,808 --> 00:19:46,520
- [Bradley] Thank you.
- [floor manager] In five, four, three...
384
00:19:48,897 --> 00:19:51,483
{\an8}[Bradley] Ryder Flynt,
thank you so much for joining us.
385
00:19:52,401 --> 00:19:54,361
You are currently awaiting trial
386
00:19:54,361 --> 00:19:58,073
for assaulting a Capitol police officer
on January 6th.
387
00:19:58,073 --> 00:19:59,199
Is that correct?
388
00:19:59,199 --> 00:20:01,702
[Ryder] I-I didn't think he
or anyone else had the right
389
00:20:01,702 --> 00:20:03,203
to keep us out of the Capitol.
390
00:20:03,704 --> 00:20:06,498
{\an8}It's the people's house.
The people were screwed.
391
00:20:06,498 --> 00:20:08,458
{\an8}So, the people, they needed to respond.
392
00:20:08,458 --> 00:20:11,920
Did you believe
the 2020 election had been stolen?
393
00:20:12,963 --> 00:20:14,047
Hundred percent.
394
00:20:15,007 --> 00:20:19,011
And after everything you've learned since,
do you still believe that?
395
00:20:22,264 --> 00:20:23,724
No. No.
396
00:20:25,726 --> 00:20:29,938
[Bradley] If you had known then that the
former president's claims were baseless--
397
00:20:29,938 --> 00:20:31,607
[Ryder] I would've stayed the hell home.
398
00:20:34,443 --> 00:20:35,527
I, uh--
399
00:20:38,197 --> 00:20:41,700
I lost my job. [sniffles]
400
00:20:42,201 --> 00:20:45,370
My family, they won't talk to me.
401
00:20:47,956 --> 00:20:50,334
I wa-- I wanna just pause right there. I--
402
00:20:50,834 --> 00:20:54,546
The loss of your family,
do you feel like it was worth it?
403
00:20:55,380 --> 00:20:56,632
What the hell do you think?
404
00:20:58,175 --> 00:21:00,344
[Bradley]
I think we don't pay enough attention to
405
00:21:00,344 --> 00:21:02,679
the collateral damage of all of this.
406
00:21:05,766 --> 00:21:06,934
[sighs]
407
00:21:06,934 --> 00:21:08,060
Take your time.
408
00:21:15,484 --> 00:21:17,653
So, I was thinking
that TMS could cross-promote
409
00:21:17,653 --> 00:21:19,029
- Alex's interview with Paul.
- Yes.
410
00:21:19,029 --> 00:21:21,240
Drive up our numbers, help UBA+.
411
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,825
I love it. I'll get a shit ton of B-roll
while we're at the house.
412
00:21:23,825 --> 00:21:25,702
Great. So, if you get us footage
from that interview,
413
00:21:25,702 --> 00:21:27,496
we can cut together a sneak peek.
414
00:21:27,496 --> 00:21:29,456
Capitalize on all the noise out there
about the deal.
415
00:21:29,456 --> 00:21:30,541
Perfect. Yep.
416
00:21:30,541 --> 00:21:31,750
[Mia] Stella, what do you think?
417
00:21:31,750 --> 00:21:34,545
It's your show. Just do what you want.
418
00:21:38,549 --> 00:21:41,635
I'm just saying,
we have to walk a fine line.
419
00:21:41,635 --> 00:21:44,263
It can't look like an ad,
like we're rolling over for him.
420
00:21:44,263 --> 00:21:46,056
Come on. You know that's not Alex's brand.
421
00:21:46,056 --> 00:21:49,852
How's prep?
Did you find anything interesting?
422
00:21:49,852 --> 00:21:53,313
Um, no. There's not a lot of lead time
on this one.
423
00:21:53,313 --> 00:21:55,816
So, nothing?
424
00:21:55,816 --> 00:21:58,694
Let's just say I'd have a better chance
of digging up Jimmy Hoffa
425
00:21:58,694 --> 00:22:00,112
than finding this guy's yearbook photo.
426
00:22:00,112 --> 00:22:03,824
Yeah, but does it matter? I mean,
w-we want this to be a victory lap, right?
427
00:22:07,619 --> 00:22:09,663
- Well, I think we're good here.
- Yeah. We are.
428
00:22:09,663 --> 00:22:11,206
Okay. All right.
429
00:22:12,374 --> 00:22:13,458
[Chip sighs]
430
00:22:14,251 --> 00:22:18,172
[Mia] So, were you guys... [indistinct]
431
00:22:18,172 --> 00:22:19,298
[sucks teeth]
432
00:22:28,223 --> 00:22:30,559
- [audio distorts]
- [UBA workers chattering, echoing]
433
00:22:38,650 --> 00:22:40,068
Hey, Chip.
434
00:22:43,071 --> 00:22:44,823
[normal audio resumes]
435
00:22:45,365 --> 00:22:46,700
- Yeah. Okay.
- Uh, yeah.
436
00:22:51,747 --> 00:22:54,750
[stammers] Is there something
you wanted to... [stammers]
437
00:22:54,750 --> 00:22:55,834
[Stella] Um...
438
00:22:57,753 --> 00:22:58,837
We need to talk.
439
00:23:09,556 --> 00:23:11,266
[Cory] Take your family to work day?
440
00:23:11,266 --> 00:23:13,310
Hal's wife wanted to see the studio.
441
00:23:14,102 --> 00:23:17,022
Interesting choice
to do that interview today.
442
00:23:18,106 --> 00:23:19,691
It had been booked for weeks.
443
00:23:20,859 --> 00:23:21,902
Bradley...
444
00:23:24,071 --> 00:23:25,572
do we have a problem?
445
00:23:26,907 --> 00:23:27,741
No.
446
00:23:28,951 --> 00:23:30,077
Because in my experience,
447
00:23:30,077 --> 00:23:34,206
Hal doesn't show up unless things are
about to get fucked six ways to Sunday.
448
00:23:34,206 --> 00:23:35,958
Look, I am handling it.
449
00:23:35,958 --> 00:23:37,167
Like you did last time?
450
00:23:39,169 --> 00:23:40,879
Just stop interfering, Cory.
451
00:23:41,463 --> 00:23:43,966
I know you think you're helping,
but you're just making it worse.
452
00:23:52,766 --> 00:23:56,645
Fix it, or I will.
453
00:24:04,069 --> 00:24:05,153
[sighs]
454
00:24:11,076 --> 00:24:13,078
[diners chattering]
455
00:24:17,833 --> 00:24:19,126
[exhales sharply]
456
00:24:27,926 --> 00:24:29,553
- Hey.
- Hi. [chuckles]
457
00:24:29,553 --> 00:24:30,971
I'm sorry I'm late. [sighs]
458
00:24:32,055 --> 00:24:34,016
Oh. [chuckles] I missed you too.
459
00:24:34,641 --> 00:24:37,311
- I need a drink. Can we get a drink? Yeah.
- Okay. Yeah.
460
00:24:37,311 --> 00:24:40,814
- Did I tell you? I think Audra's pregnant.
- [slurps]
461
00:24:41,523 --> 00:24:42,858
What? [stammers] Really?
462
00:24:42,858 --> 00:24:45,944
Yeah. I walked past her dressing room,
and all the lights were off,
463
00:24:45,944 --> 00:24:48,030
and she was sitting
in front of the mirror...
464
00:24:48,030 --> 00:24:49,156
- Here you are.
- Thank you.
465
00:24:49,156 --> 00:24:50,282
...rubbing her belly.
466
00:24:50,908 --> 00:24:52,326
Well, maybe she was meditating.
467
00:24:52,826 --> 00:24:54,953
[chuckles] Audra meditating?
468
00:24:54,953 --> 00:24:57,623
She talked through
our 9/11 moment of silence.
469
00:24:57,623 --> 00:25:00,000
- [scoffs] Yeah.
- So, how's it going
470
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,502
with all the craziness over there?
471
00:25:03,128 --> 00:25:04,713
Wh-- What craziness?
472
00:25:04,713 --> 00:25:06,173
Paul Marks. What's he like?
473
00:25:06,965 --> 00:25:10,469
Oh. Uh, yeah.
I-I don't think the deal is done.
474
00:25:11,178 --> 00:25:13,180
And who knows if it'll go through.
475
00:25:13,722 --> 00:25:15,057
- Right.
- Yeah.
476
00:25:21,730 --> 00:25:22,773
What are we doing?
477
00:25:24,942 --> 00:25:25,776
What do you mean?
478
00:25:27,903 --> 00:25:29,154
We meet up at Cory's party.
479
00:25:30,405 --> 00:25:32,407
You invite me to dinner and then cancel.
480
00:25:32,407 --> 00:25:35,327
And then tonight, you call me at
the last minute. Suddenly we're back on.
481
00:25:35,953 --> 00:25:38,747
And I don't know where your head is,
but I know it's not here.
482
00:25:38,747 --> 00:25:40,999
Well, I-I really-- [sighs]
483
00:25:42,042 --> 00:25:43,126
I wanted to see you.
484
00:25:43,126 --> 00:25:45,879
Did you really?
Or did you just need a drink?
485
00:25:47,506 --> 00:25:50,551
Look, Hal's in town
with Cheryl and the kid and--
486
00:25:50,551 --> 00:25:52,344
Right. [sighs] Hal.
487
00:25:52,344 --> 00:25:56,890
No, it's not like that.
I-- I know you hate him.
488
00:25:56,890 --> 00:25:58,475
- I don't hate Hal.
- Yes, you do.
489
00:25:58,475 --> 00:26:00,978
What-Whatever. It's fine.
I don't wanna get into it.
490
00:26:02,104 --> 00:26:04,273
- Would you just talk to me?
- [sighs]
491
00:26:04,273 --> 00:26:06,108
I feel like we're on a bad first date.
492
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,789
I should probably go. I--
They're gonna be wondering where I am.
493
00:26:20,789 --> 00:26:24,168
Bradley, it's me.
You can tell me anything.
494
00:26:27,921 --> 00:26:31,717
I'm a mess, okay? [stammers]
And I don't want to drag you down with me.
495
00:26:32,259 --> 00:26:33,260
I'm sorry.
496
00:26:34,636 --> 00:26:36,138
I think I should get the check.
497
00:26:37,890 --> 00:26:38,891
Yeah.
498
00:26:41,810 --> 00:26:43,645
[sighs]
499
00:26:51,028 --> 00:26:52,070
[Bradley sighs]
500
00:27:23,227 --> 00:27:24,228
Hey.
501
00:27:25,521 --> 00:27:28,440
I really, really, uh-- really loved
that Scared Straight interview.
502
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,192
- Oh, yeah?
- I just wanna say, message received.
503
00:27:30,192 --> 00:27:31,276
- All right.
- Meant a lot to me.
504
00:27:31,276 --> 00:27:32,778
- You don't want to get locked up, Hal.
- No, yeah.
505
00:27:32,778 --> 00:27:34,238
You think you're tough, but you're not.
506
00:27:34,238 --> 00:27:40,661
Listen to me. I need to do this
for my family, for my sobriety.
507
00:27:40,661 --> 00:27:41,912
- For your sobriety?
- Yes!
508
00:27:41,912 --> 00:27:46,750
Oh, my God. Please do not weaponize your
addiction to prove some fucking point.
509
00:27:46,750 --> 00:27:48,126
I mean, that is just a dick move.
510
00:27:48,126 --> 00:27:50,921
Have you even thought
about what this is going to do to me?
511
00:27:50,921 --> 00:27:52,005
Oh, my God. You're right.
512
00:27:52,005 --> 00:27:54,007
I haven't thought about
what's gonna happen to you,
513
00:27:54,007 --> 00:27:57,344
except for the fact that, like, you could
have deleted that footage, right?
514
00:27:57,344 --> 00:27:59,137
- All of it. You could have deleted it.
- That's a--
515
00:27:59,137 --> 00:28:01,598
That's what I thought that you would do
when I left DC.
516
00:28:02,099 --> 00:28:06,395
And then I saw it on TV, and I thought,
"Why the fuck would she use this?"
517
00:28:06,395 --> 00:28:07,479
And then I reali-- No.
518
00:28:07,479 --> 00:28:10,357
Because then I realized that
you will do anything to get ahead.
519
00:28:10,357 --> 00:28:11,608
- Me?
- Yes.
520
00:28:12,109 --> 00:28:14,194
You are gonna ruin our lives.
You know that, right?
521
00:28:14,194 --> 00:28:16,154
Well, you know what?
I learned from the best, right?
522
00:28:16,154 --> 00:28:18,782
You turned in Dad.
That kind of fucked us all up, right?
523
00:28:19,449 --> 00:28:20,576
- Wow.
- Except for you.
524
00:28:20,576 --> 00:28:21,910
You've come out on top, haven't you?
525
00:28:21,910 --> 00:28:24,997
Are you kidding me? Like,
you think this was some sort of long game
526
00:28:24,997 --> 00:28:27,499
I was playing to get to New York City
and somehow end up on the n--
527
00:28:27,499 --> 00:28:29,418
What the fuck are you even talking about?
528
00:28:31,170 --> 00:28:34,506
I know what it is like
to look at my father and have no respect.
529
00:28:35,424 --> 00:28:36,425
None.
530
00:28:37,676 --> 00:28:39,845
I don't want my daughter
to look at me like that.
531
00:28:40,345 --> 00:28:42,431
[sighs] That would fucking kill me.
532
00:28:42,431 --> 00:28:44,433
You think your daughter's
gonna respect her dad
533
00:28:44,433 --> 00:28:46,351
who's locked up just like our fucking dad?
534
00:28:47,019 --> 00:28:50,272
You're gonna ruin her life. You're gonna
ruin Cheryl's life and ruin my life.
535
00:28:50,272 --> 00:28:51,690
You know what? You-You're drunk.
536
00:28:51,690 --> 00:28:54,526
I think that you should have some water
before you go to bed.
537
00:28:54,526 --> 00:28:57,279
Oh, you're Jesus Christ
on the goddamn cross. Really?
538
00:29:13,378 --> 00:29:15,088
- Mmm.
- [Bradley] Hey.
539
00:29:15,672 --> 00:29:17,591
- [Alex] Hey, you.
- Hey. [sighs]
540
00:29:17,591 --> 00:29:18,926
You're here early.
541
00:29:18,926 --> 00:29:22,679
Yeah, I just had some stuff
I had to clean off my desk.
542
00:29:24,765 --> 00:29:25,807
What's going on? You okay?
543
00:29:26,558 --> 00:29:31,730
Yeah, I-I'm, um--
You know, I-- I really appreciate you...
544
00:29:31,730 --> 00:29:36,235
[stammers] ...just always supporting me an-
and having my back since I've been here.
545
00:29:36,235 --> 00:29:38,195
It just-- It means a lot.
546
00:29:38,695 --> 00:29:40,697
Okay, well, that sounds like a goodbye.
547
00:29:41,490 --> 00:29:43,367
Is NBN trying to poach you?
548
00:29:43,951 --> 00:29:47,829
No, I just forget to say it sometimes,
and I-- I know what you've done.
549
00:29:48,413 --> 00:29:50,832
Yeah. A-And you didn't have to do
all that, you know?
550
00:29:50,832 --> 00:29:52,209
I know. Okay.
551
00:29:53,043 --> 00:29:54,670
- Oh, God. Honey, I have to go.
- Yeah.
552
00:29:54,670 --> 00:29:57,339
Um, I'm interviewing Paul Marks
later today.
553
00:29:57,339 --> 00:29:58,298
Oh.
554
00:29:58,298 --> 00:30:01,343
I know it's just been, um-- [sighs]
555
00:30:01,343 --> 00:30:02,427
What?
556
00:30:02,427 --> 00:30:06,014
Chip found out some information on him,
557
00:30:06,014 --> 00:30:08,141
and I know I'm gonna have to
go at him really hard.
558
00:30:08,141 --> 00:30:09,643
- Really?
- Yeah.
559
00:30:09,643 --> 00:30:11,979
- Well...
- It's just not good.
560
00:30:11,979 --> 00:30:13,522
The deal could possibly blow up,
561
00:30:14,273 --> 00:30:16,900
and I hate the idea of
doing that to people.
562
00:30:16,900 --> 00:30:19,862
- But if there really is something...
- Mm-hmm.
563
00:30:19,862 --> 00:30:21,530
- ...isn't it better to know now...
- Yes.
564
00:30:21,530 --> 00:30:23,282
- ...than too late?
- I know. I know.
565
00:30:23,949 --> 00:30:26,994
It's what we do.
We hold people to account, right?
566
00:30:28,203 --> 00:30:30,247
That's right. That's what we do.
567
00:30:30,247 --> 00:30:31,331
That's what we do.
568
00:30:31,331 --> 00:30:34,001
- Yeah.
- Okay. I'm around.
569
00:30:34,543 --> 00:30:35,711
- Yeah. Okay.
- Okay.
570
00:30:35,711 --> 00:30:37,171
- Have a good interview.
- Thanks, honey.
571
00:30:40,048 --> 00:30:41,466
[sighs]
572
00:30:59,234 --> 00:31:00,903
[Alex] God, that was a long drive.
573
00:31:00,903 --> 00:31:02,821
- Yep. [sighs]
- [Alex] Okay, let's do this.
574
00:31:04,698 --> 00:31:05,699
Should we just go in?
575
00:31:05,699 --> 00:31:07,367
- [Chip] I mean, yeah.
- Yeah. Let's do it.
576
00:31:09,828 --> 00:31:10,829
Hello?
577
00:31:13,457 --> 00:31:14,291
Hello?
578
00:31:17,961 --> 00:31:19,213
Hello!
579
00:31:19,213 --> 00:31:21,298
- [barking]
- Oh, my gosh.
580
00:31:21,298 --> 00:31:22,508
[Paul] Sorry. Oh, he's friendly.
581
00:31:22,508 --> 00:31:24,134
- [Alex] Oh. Hi, there.
- Good. You found it.
582
00:31:24,134 --> 00:31:25,469
- Oh, you're not dressed.
- [Paul sighs]
583
00:31:25,469 --> 00:31:28,055
- The turn-on can be a little tricky.
- Excuse me?
584
00:31:28,055 --> 00:31:29,640
Turning onto the road. It's unmarked.
585
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,851
Oh, right. No, we actually--
[stammers] We got it.
586
00:31:32,851 --> 00:31:36,980
So, this is quite a beautiful hidden gem
you have here.
587
00:31:36,980 --> 00:31:38,065
- [chuckles]
- [Alex] Wow.
588
00:31:38,065 --> 00:31:41,276
Uh, listen, I know it's probably gonna
take you guys a couple minutes
589
00:31:41,276 --> 00:31:42,861
to get set up and whatnot.
590
00:31:42,861 --> 00:31:45,739
Um, help yourself to whatever you want,
and I will go get ready.
591
00:31:45,739 --> 00:31:47,366
Let's go. Buddy, come on. Let's go.
592
00:31:47,366 --> 00:31:49,451
[film crew chattering]
593
00:31:49,952 --> 00:31:52,079
Okay, okay. Hi.
594
00:31:54,581 --> 00:31:57,000
- Oh. No, no, no. That's fine. Thanks.
- Hmm.
595
00:32:01,463 --> 00:32:02,506
Good?
596
00:32:03,215 --> 00:32:04,299
[smacks lips]
597
00:32:04,299 --> 00:32:05,926
Okay.
598
00:32:05,926 --> 00:32:07,302
[Paul sighs]
599
00:32:08,220 --> 00:32:11,598
So, uh-- Sorry. What are the rules?
600
00:32:11,598 --> 00:32:12,683
What do you mean?
601
00:32:13,183 --> 00:32:15,227
Well, do I know you? Do I not know you?
602
00:32:15,227 --> 00:32:20,065
Oh, yeah. Just think of it like, you know,
we're just meeting for the first time.
603
00:32:21,483 --> 00:32:22,693
Easy.
604
00:32:22,693 --> 00:32:24,945
- Nice to meet you.
- [Paul] Nice to meet you.
605
00:32:25,612 --> 00:32:26,613
All right.
606
00:32:27,781 --> 00:32:28,782
Chip.
607
00:32:29,283 --> 00:32:30,325
[clears throat] Okay.
608
00:32:30,909 --> 00:32:32,661
- All right. Everybody ready?
- [Alex] Yes.
609
00:32:32,661 --> 00:32:33,745
- All set.
- Let's do this.
610
00:32:33,745 --> 00:32:35,247
Let's roll cameras, please.
611
00:32:35,247 --> 00:32:37,207
So, why don't you do interviews?
612
00:32:38,166 --> 00:32:40,669
- Well, I don't want to offend you.
- Oh, please, offend me.
613
00:32:40,669 --> 00:32:43,422
Uh, I think they're a waste of time, honestly.
614
00:32:43,422 --> 00:32:45,132
Uh, I think people come in with an agenda
615
00:32:45,132 --> 00:32:47,050
and wait for the other person
to prove them right.
616
00:32:47,050 --> 00:32:49,052
And I would
literally rather do anything else.
617
00:32:49,052 --> 00:32:50,804
I would rather go hunting
with Dick Cheney.
618
00:32:50,804 --> 00:32:52,598
I would rather stand in line at the DMV.
619
00:32:52,598 --> 00:32:55,309
Well, then why did you agree
to sit down with me?
620
00:32:55,976 --> 00:33:02,107
Because I think this deal is important,
and, um, you asked me.
621
00:33:04,401 --> 00:33:07,154
[inhales sharply]
Well, w-when someone with your resources
622
00:33:07,154 --> 00:33:09,448
acquires a company like UBA,
623
00:33:09,448 --> 00:33:10,949
it raises a lot of questions.
624
00:33:11,867 --> 00:33:15,704
So, why do you wanna add
a media empire to your portfolio?
625
00:33:16,205 --> 00:33:17,623
Well, I don't have one.
626
00:33:17,623 --> 00:33:19,458
Oh, so we're your trophy?
627
00:33:19,458 --> 00:33:23,337
No. I think there's tremendous
profit potential at UBA,
628
00:33:23,337 --> 00:33:24,588
and I hate fake news.
629
00:33:25,422 --> 00:33:27,591
{\an8}Says the guy from big tech.
630
00:33:27,591 --> 00:33:30,719
{\an8}Right. Okay. Um, sure. I get it.
631
00:33:30,719 --> 00:33:33,222
I think we can all agree at this point
it's probably healthier
632
00:33:33,222 --> 00:33:34,431
to smoke a pack of cigarettes
633
00:33:34,431 --> 00:33:36,558
- than it is to log on to Twitter, right?
- Mmm.
634
00:33:36,558 --> 00:33:38,477
But good luck
keeping people from scrolling.
635
00:33:39,353 --> 00:33:40,354
Um... [sighs]
636
00:33:41,146 --> 00:33:42,731
...I think the news can be fixed.
637
00:33:43,815 --> 00:33:47,319
And I'd like to give it a try
before it's too late.
638
00:33:47,319 --> 00:33:49,571
And you think you can fix the news?
639
00:33:49,571 --> 00:33:52,366
I don't see anybody else
with their hand raised. [sighs]
640
00:33:52,366 --> 00:33:54,993
And what makes you think
you're qualified for the job?
641
00:33:54,993 --> 00:33:57,329
Well, the bar does seem
to be set pretty low.
642
00:33:59,790 --> 00:34:03,001
Sounds like you don't have a lot
of respect for people that do the news.
643
00:34:04,002 --> 00:34:05,671
Should we be concerned about that,
644
00:34:05,671 --> 00:34:08,215
partnering with someone
that doesn't respect us?
645
00:34:08,215 --> 00:34:10,342
I could ask you the very same question.
646
00:34:11,342 --> 00:34:15,264
You thought I was so bad for UBA
that you ditched the Hyperion One launch.
647
00:34:15,264 --> 00:34:16,598
Should I be concerned about you?
648
00:34:17,516 --> 00:34:20,686
I mean, that is what happened, right?
And this is Alex Unfiltered.
649
00:34:20,686 --> 00:34:24,857
Well, that might be what happened,
but it had nothing to do with respect.
650
00:34:24,857 --> 00:34:28,610
There were, and there are still,
concerns about you buying this company
651
00:34:28,610 --> 00:34:30,612
and I believe that the jury is still out.
652
00:34:30,612 --> 00:34:33,699
Oh, I-- I certainly hear that.
That-- You've made that very, very clear.
653
00:34:33,699 --> 00:34:35,909
Is that why you were hanging out
outside my hotel?
654
00:34:41,248 --> 00:34:43,333
[chuckles] You know what?
655
00:34:43,333 --> 00:34:47,629
Why don't we, uh--
Why don't we just take a quick break?
656
00:34:48,213 --> 00:34:49,715
- Okay. Sure.
- [Paul] That okay?
657
00:34:50,299 --> 00:34:51,382
- Be right back.
- Okay.
658
00:34:52,509 --> 00:34:54,511
[film crew chattering]
659
00:34:56,263 --> 00:34:57,097
Are you doing okay?
660
00:34:57,097 --> 00:34:58,098
Yeah.
661
00:34:58,098 --> 00:35:01,643
Okay. Uh, are you gonna ask him
about the Stanford student?
662
00:35:01,643 --> 00:35:02,895
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
663
00:35:04,313 --> 00:35:05,689
Hey, nail his ass.
664
00:35:06,732 --> 00:35:09,610
I know. I know. I'm on it.
665
00:35:09,610 --> 00:35:10,736
Okay.
666
00:35:28,795 --> 00:35:33,800
You ran an incubator in Palo Alto,
mentoring young innovators in tech.
667
00:35:34,384 --> 00:35:36,845
I did.
I started it during the dot-com boom.
668
00:35:36,845 --> 00:35:38,680
A lot of great ideas
came out of that project.
669
00:35:39,515 --> 00:35:40,807
But then you stepped away.
670
00:35:41,308 --> 00:35:45,604
Yes. Uh, our aerospace division started,
uh, gaining traction.
671
00:35:45,604 --> 00:35:47,981
I was spending a lot more time in Texas,
so I handed it off.
672
00:35:47,981 --> 00:35:51,109
Hmm. Any regrets?
673
00:35:53,070 --> 00:35:54,905
Not sure what you mean.
674
00:35:54,905 --> 00:35:58,492
Well, a former Stanford student
who was in that incubator
675
00:35:58,492 --> 00:36:00,160
claims to have written a code.
676
00:36:00,869 --> 00:36:03,997
A code that evolved
into the data analytics system
677
00:36:03,997 --> 00:36:06,333
that you sell to governments
around the world.
678
00:36:07,376 --> 00:36:09,419
Right. Well, that software
took years to develop
679
00:36:09,419 --> 00:36:13,048
and went through hundreds of iterations
before it became what it is today.
680
00:36:14,049 --> 00:36:17,052
Yes. But the initial idea was theirs.
681
00:36:17,052 --> 00:36:20,472
Well, the initial idea was,
if I recall correctly, uh,
682
00:36:20,472 --> 00:36:22,474
a GPS blocker for activists...
683
00:36:22,474 --> 00:36:23,600
- ...and dissidents,
- Mm-hmm.
684
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,729
which we took to several VCs,
all of whom passed.
685
00:36:28,313 --> 00:36:30,148
So then you bought it instead.
686
00:36:31,358 --> 00:36:35,070
A billion-dollar idea
at a bargain price of 50 grand.
687
00:36:35,070 --> 00:36:38,407
- Is that what you paid? Fifty grand?
- I bought quite a few ideas
688
00:36:38,407 --> 00:36:39,575
out of that incubator.
689
00:36:39,575 --> 00:36:43,036
Uh, all of those deals were,
at the time, industry standard.
690
00:36:43,579 --> 00:36:46,331
Mm-hmm. Well, it also used to
be industry standard
691
00:36:46,331 --> 00:36:49,668
that a director would fuck an actress
on a casting couch, so...
692
00:36:50,169 --> 00:36:53,672
Or a news anchor might have a button
underneath his desk to lock the door.
693
00:36:55,048 --> 00:36:57,593
Are you rich
because you stole someone else's idea?
694
00:36:58,302 --> 00:37:00,262
I never forced anybody
to sign any contracts.
695
00:37:00,262 --> 00:37:02,181
That-- That person sold their idea
on their own.
696
00:37:02,181 --> 00:37:06,810
But you did make them sign an NDA
and then took a progressive idea
697
00:37:06,810 --> 00:37:09,730
and converted it
into a predictive policing tool.
698
00:37:11,315 --> 00:37:14,151
Well, I mean, we both understand
the concept of an NDA.
699
00:37:14,735 --> 00:37:17,696
One person wins
and the other person is silenced.
700
00:37:18,447 --> 00:37:22,784
{\an8}So, is it fair to use them
against young college students
701
00:37:22,784 --> 00:37:25,120
when they might not be experienced enough
702
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,874
to understand the implications
of what they're signing?
703
00:37:28,874 --> 00:37:31,877
Now, everybody involved in
this transaction was an adult. [stammers]
704
00:37:31,877 --> 00:37:34,171
Well, this student did not feel
very good about it.
705
00:37:34,755 --> 00:37:37,341
And, in fact,
suffered debilitating depression
706
00:37:38,091 --> 00:37:39,593
as well as a suicide attempt.
707
00:37:46,016 --> 00:37:49,895
Well, I'm-I'm s-- I'm sorry.
I had-- I had no idea.
708
00:37:53,065 --> 00:37:55,651
Well, do you have any response?
709
00:37:57,402 --> 00:37:59,196
To this former student?
710
00:37:59,196 --> 00:38:00,906
To the people watching the interview?
711
00:38:04,034 --> 00:38:06,954
Well, I think that, um... [exhales deeply]
712
00:38:18,465 --> 00:38:22,302
You know, I used to sleep
on the floor of my factory,
713
00:38:22,970 --> 00:38:25,848
sometimes for weeks at a time.
714
00:38:25,848 --> 00:38:30,686
When we were developing
the first prototype for Hyperion One,
715
00:38:30,686 --> 00:38:34,815
my engineers and I would work 18,
20-some-odd hours every day.
716
00:38:37,818 --> 00:38:42,447
When I focus on something,
I tend to block out everything else.
717
00:38:46,702 --> 00:38:50,122
So when I-- I finally went home,
my wife had left.
718
00:38:51,456 --> 00:38:57,754
She had taken everything that was hers,
and the house was a blank.
719
00:39:00,632 --> 00:39:03,260
I don't even know how long
she'd been gone. Could have been weeks.
720
00:39:06,513 --> 00:39:09,183
I had to take
a pretty hard look at myself.
721
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:16,315
The way I treated other people.
The cost... of what I was doing.
722
00:39:20,819 --> 00:39:23,614
And I have since changed
my company's policies
723
00:39:23,614 --> 00:39:26,575
as well as my own personal behavior
and beliefs.
724
00:39:27,242 --> 00:39:32,706
So I think I probably owe that student,
at the very least,
725
00:39:34,583 --> 00:39:35,584
a conversation.
726
00:39:49,139 --> 00:39:50,140
Next question.
727
00:40:00,317 --> 00:40:02,319
[breathing heavily]
728
00:40:06,698 --> 00:40:10,661
{\an8}While the President says he'll work
towards a solution to the current impasse,
729
00:40:10,661 --> 00:40:14,456
{\an8}congressional leaders continue
to push back on several key points.
730
00:40:14,456 --> 00:40:16,875
- [high-pitched ringing]
- And when we come back...
731
00:40:22,172 --> 00:40:23,173
When we come back...
732
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:27,719
Bradley, what's up?
733
00:40:29,471 --> 00:40:31,014
- [ringing intensifies]
- [Gayle] Bradley!
734
00:40:31,014 --> 00:40:32,641
{\an8}[ringing fades]
735
00:40:32,641 --> 00:40:35,853
{\an8}When we come back,
we'll take a closer look at homeschooling.
736
00:40:36,937 --> 00:40:39,189
We'll meet one mother who,
during the pandemic,
737
00:40:39,189 --> 00:40:43,360
decided her kids would never return
to their traditional classroom again.
738
00:40:45,863 --> 00:40:46,864
[Gayle] And we're out.
739
00:40:50,534 --> 00:40:51,702
[knocks]
740
00:40:54,037 --> 00:40:54,872
Hi.
741
00:40:56,331 --> 00:40:59,251
Um, Brad's not here. She's--
742
00:40:59,251 --> 00:41:01,044
I know. I came to talk to you.
743
00:41:02,254 --> 00:41:03,255
Can I come in?
744
00:41:09,386 --> 00:41:13,098
I made a lot of assumptions about you
before even meeting you.
745
00:41:13,932 --> 00:41:16,393
[chuckles] That sounds about right.
746
00:41:17,477 --> 00:41:18,562
I think-- [sighs]
747
00:41:19,271 --> 00:41:23,525
I think I made Bradley choose between us
when your mom was sick.
748
00:41:24,902 --> 00:41:27,821
I-I think that's how Bradley felt,
and that wasn't fair.
749
00:41:28,822 --> 00:41:32,159
And I m-- I may have encouraged her...
750
00:41:34,244 --> 00:41:35,662
to cut you out of her life.
751
00:41:36,496 --> 00:41:38,332
So you could have her all for yourself?
752
00:41:44,296 --> 00:41:45,756
I'm sorry. [clears throat] I'm sorry.
753
00:41:47,090 --> 00:41:49,092
What I mean is that...
754
00:41:52,846 --> 00:41:56,058
I think Bradley wants to be with me,
and I want that too.
755
00:41:57,059 --> 00:41:58,727
But we had dinner the other night,
756
00:41:58,727 --> 00:42:02,523
and she seemed really anxious
about starting things up again.
757
00:42:03,023 --> 00:42:06,527
And I think that had a lot to do with you.
758
00:42:07,361 --> 00:42:09,321
I mean, how I judged you.
759
00:42:09,321 --> 00:42:11,823
She doesn't talk to me
about those kinds of things.
760
00:42:11,823 --> 00:42:13,825
- [stammers] I don't--
- Well, I think she's scared to.
761
00:42:14,660 --> 00:42:16,870
- Because whenever she brings you in--
- I fuck it up.
762
00:42:16,870 --> 00:42:18,830
- No. No.
- Yeah.
763
00:42:19,790 --> 00:42:22,709
You see her in a way
that no one else does.
764
00:42:23,210 --> 00:42:24,545
She can't hide with you.
765
00:42:29,633 --> 00:42:34,555
If you could just support us, I think
it would mean a lot to Bradley and to me.
766
00:42:35,722 --> 00:42:41,228
If I just had a chance, I know I could--
I know I could make her happy.
767
00:42:51,238 --> 00:42:52,990
I'll-- I'll think on it. [sighs]
768
00:42:55,367 --> 00:42:56,577
I'll think on it, okay?
769
00:43:02,291 --> 00:43:03,876
- Well, that was fun.
- Mm-hmm.
770
00:43:03,876 --> 00:43:05,502
Uh, when's it gonna air?
771
00:43:06,003 --> 00:43:07,963
Uh, next week. We're actually
gonna be editing this weekend.
772
00:43:07,963 --> 00:43:11,258
So, Alex, you heading back to the city?
773
00:43:11,258 --> 00:43:14,136
Uh, yeah, in a minute. Thanks, Chip.
774
00:43:14,136 --> 00:43:16,221
Okay. I'm having some ideas
on the shape of the show,
775
00:43:16,221 --> 00:43:19,099
so if you wanna talk while you drive,
cut the trailer tonight.
776
00:43:19,099 --> 00:43:22,102
- You know how Mia's always hounding us--
- Yeah, good.
777
00:43:22,102 --> 00:43:23,854
Sure. I'll call you from the car.
778
00:43:27,065 --> 00:43:28,483
Chip, let's go.
779
00:43:29,318 --> 00:43:32,154
- Uh, yeah.
- Okay. Yeah, sorry. Let me walk you out.
780
00:43:33,989 --> 00:43:35,908
Uh, just be careful on the turn.
781
00:43:35,908 --> 00:43:37,326
- Thanks, Paul.
- You know it, guys.
782
00:43:37,326 --> 00:43:38,785
- Have a good one.
- [Chip] Thank you.
783
00:43:41,872 --> 00:43:43,207
Well, you survived that.
784
00:43:43,790 --> 00:43:45,167
Well, you didn't pull any punches.
785
00:43:45,167 --> 00:43:46,877
Oh, well, that's the idea.
786
00:43:46,877 --> 00:43:48,253
[chuckles]
787
00:43:49,379 --> 00:43:50,214
I'm curious though.
788
00:43:50,214 --> 00:43:53,133
How did you find out about her?
This, uh, Stanford student.
789
00:43:53,133 --> 00:43:57,804
Oh, you know I can't tell you that.
And honestly, I don't know who it is.
790
00:43:58,889 --> 00:44:01,266
Well, it's fair game
that you did that. [sighs]
791
00:44:02,142 --> 00:44:03,477
I like that you went there.
792
00:44:04,770 --> 00:44:06,021
- You liked that?
- Yeah.
793
00:44:06,021 --> 00:44:09,983
Most people in your position wouldn't
come after me like that, but you did.
794
00:44:10,609 --> 00:44:11,610
Impressive.
795
00:44:12,194 --> 00:44:16,240
Well, UBA has certain standards,
and this deal doesn't change that.
796
00:44:18,242 --> 00:44:19,660
Even if it does happen,
797
00:44:20,244 --> 00:44:23,372
it's, uh, you know--
it's not like we're in bed together.
798
00:44:24,748 --> 00:44:28,752
- I mean-- mean it metaphorically speaking.
- [chuckles] Right.
799
00:44:28,752 --> 00:44:29,670
You know?
800
00:44:30,170 --> 00:44:31,171
And literally.
801
00:44:31,964 --> 00:44:36,426
No. We're not in bed.
802
00:44:36,426 --> 00:44:38,387
- We should keep it that way.
- Mm-hmm.
803
00:44:41,598 --> 00:44:43,433
We're in furious agreement.
804
00:44:43,934 --> 00:44:45,435
I've never been more furious.
805
00:44:47,062 --> 00:44:48,063
[breathing heavily]
806
00:44:55,904 --> 00:44:56,905
[gasps]
807
00:44:59,658 --> 00:45:01,535
I don't think we should do this.
808
00:45:02,369 --> 00:45:03,662
Right. Never happened.
809
00:45:04,162 --> 00:45:05,163
Mmm.
810
00:45:06,582 --> 00:45:08,166
- Um, I'm gonna go grab my--
- Mmm.
811
00:45:08,166 --> 00:45:10,919
I forgot my, uh--
Forgot my coat over here.
812
00:45:10,919 --> 00:45:13,380
No, where-- where's--
My coat's right in my--
813
00:45:13,380 --> 00:45:14,840
Did I forget anything else?
814
00:45:15,799 --> 00:45:18,218
Did you forget anything else?
I don't think you forgot anything.
815
00:45:18,218 --> 00:45:19,386
I don't think I did.
816
00:45:21,305 --> 00:45:23,599
["I'm Your Fool" playing]
817
00:46:18,237 --> 00:46:19,238
[song fades]
818
00:46:32,376 --> 00:46:34,086
Let's get married in Niagara.
819
00:46:35,629 --> 00:46:36,630
- What?
- Let's do it.
820
00:46:37,172 --> 00:46:39,883
Let's get a justice of the peace
and some witnesses
821
00:46:39,883 --> 00:46:42,761
and some weird outfits
and just fucking do it.
822
00:46:44,179 --> 00:46:45,639
Is that a yes or-or--
823
00:46:45,639 --> 00:46:46,723
No.
824
00:46:47,975 --> 00:46:49,059
- No.
- [stammers]
825
00:46:50,519 --> 00:46:51,728
- No.
- I'm sorry.
826
00:46:51,728 --> 00:46:56,900
Uh, I thought this was what you wanted.
So, what is...
827
00:47:00,821 --> 00:47:04,658
What? Hold-- What?
Did I totally fucking misread this?
828
00:47:04,658 --> 00:47:08,745
Uh, you are the one who's been dropping
clues for, like, three months now,
829
00:47:08,745 --> 00:47:10,914
and-and-and you talked about a ring.
830
00:47:10,914 --> 00:47:14,585
[stammers] I mean, maybe I didn't,
you know, propose in the best way.
831
00:47:14,585 --> 00:47:16,503
We were planning a huge interview.
832
00:47:17,087 --> 00:47:18,088
But...
833
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,550
Just tell me what you want.
That's what we'll do.
834
00:47:21,550 --> 00:47:23,302
I mean, tell me what you want. We can--
835
00:47:23,302 --> 00:47:25,012
I want you to ask because of me.
836
00:47:26,638 --> 00:47:27,639
Not because of her.
837
00:47:31,810 --> 00:47:35,355
[sighs] That's--
That's r-- That's ridiculous. [stammers]
838
00:47:37,149 --> 00:47:38,734
Come on. [sighs]

Cheryl?
842
00:48:46,051 --> 00:48:48,929
[Alex sighs] Wow.
That was a really nice way to wake up.
843
00:48:52,850 --> 00:48:56,728

Oh.

Oh, there you go.
847
00:49:13,954 --> 00:49:15,664
- Oh, God.
- Mm-hmm.

Cory.

[Cory] Hey. Too early?
851
00:49:23,881 --> 00:49:25,549
No. No, never.
852
00:49:25,549 --> 00:49:29,469
Listen, whatever interview stunt
Alex was up to, don't worry.
853
00:49:29,469 --> 00:49:31,889
We won't use it unless it works for us.
854
00:49:31,889 --> 00:49:35,976
Went well, actually.
I think it'll be good for perception.
855
00:49:35,976 --> 00:49:39,062
Well, that's great to hear. Alex is--
856
00:49:39,062 --> 00:49:41,106
She's passionate about her work.
857
00:49:41,106 --> 00:49:44,818
Well, she was, uh, phenomenal.
858
00:49:44,818 --> 00:49:47,362
Uh... [stammers] ...stunning, really.
859
00:49:48,322 --> 00:49:50,407
Kinda blew my mind,
if you wanna know the truth.

[stammers] Well, um...
861
00:49:56,121 --> 00:49:59,458
[stammers] ...you can see
why she's such a key asset to the company.
862
00:49:59,458 --> 00:50:01,668
Sure do. Um...
863
00:50:03,754 --> 00:50:06,882
Hey, listen. I know marketing
is pushing for a new logo,
864
00:50:06,882 --> 00:50:10,802
but I don't think Hyperion needs to be
so front-facing in the branding.
865
00:50:11,386 --> 00:50:15,557
Keep it simple, right?
The less friction, the better.
866
00:50:16,266 --> 00:50:18,810
Good. On that, we are simpatico.

You know, I used to sleep on the floor
of my factory,

sometimes for weeks at a time.

When we were developing
the first prototype for Hyperion One,

You could've talked to me.

I had no idea you felt that way.

I wasn't sure how I felt.

I'll have my lawyers reach out.
I can leave quietly.

00:52:17,638 --> 00:52:20,599
I don't wanna make this transition
any more uncomfortable.
896
00:52:20,599 --> 00:52:22,351
So, you're gonna quit?

Yeah. I think it's for the best.
