1
00:01:43,812 --> 00:01:45,022
That's our show for today.
2
00:01:45,105 --> 00:01:47,315
We are so glad
you spent your morning with us.
3
00:01:47,399 --> 00:01:49,189
And congratulations on your first week.
4
00:01:49,276 --> 00:01:51,126
- Yeah. Well done. Good job.
- Happy Friday, everyone.
5
00:01:51,153 --> 00:01:53,823
Thank you, guys. It's been a fun ride.
6
00:01:53,906 --> 00:01:55,656
Have a great weekend, America.
7
00:01:55,741 --> 00:01:57,451
And stay tuned for The Twist.
8
00:02:01,788 --> 00:02:04,668
Like they say, like Kelly says...
You know what I mean?
9
00:02:06,001 --> 00:02:07,791
I love this song.
10
00:02:07,878 --> 00:02:08,878
And we're out.
11
00:02:10,297 --> 00:02:15,047
Don't you ever, ever question
my integrity in my own house again.
12
00:02:25,938 --> 00:02:27,268
Okay. All right.
13
00:02:27,689 --> 00:02:30,609
Let me explain something to you
real quick.
14
00:02:30,692 --> 00:02:33,822
The business of this show
is a complicated world. Okay?
15
00:02:33,904 --> 00:02:35,494
There are rules we have to honor here.
16
00:02:35,572 --> 00:02:38,262
You may think you don't have to,
but you would be fucking wrong. Okay?
17
00:02:38,283 --> 00:02:40,163
This show, it will consume you,
18
00:02:40,244 --> 00:02:42,754
it will spit out
your bones and some gristle
19
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:44,869
and your fucking spirit along with it.
20
00:02:44,957 --> 00:02:47,267
Unless that's what you're trying to
accomplish, in which case,
21
00:02:47,292 --> 00:02:48,752
I don't know what to tell you.
22
00:02:49,211 --> 00:02:52,551
- Chip, what are you trying to say?
- You could do great work here.
23
00:02:52,631 --> 00:02:54,801
Don't annihilate yourself in the process
24
00:02:54,883 --> 00:02:57,683
just for the sake of pushing buttons
that you aren't supposed to push.
25
00:02:58,387 --> 00:02:59,757
Be careful.
26
00:02:59,847 --> 00:03:02,927
Why? 'Cause if the network's found
culpable, you're the fall guy?
27
00:03:03,016 --> 00:03:04,096
It'll kill your career?
28
00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:07,524
Unfortunately, I think
that death ship is sailing as we speak.
29
00:03:08,939 --> 00:03:11,569
Look, not everybody's
a self-serving pile of shit.
30
00:03:11,650 --> 00:03:14,400
I'm talking to you about you.
31
00:03:19,241 --> 00:03:21,201
- Chip.
- Not now, Rena. I need five seconds...
32
00:03:21,285 --> 00:03:22,405
Mitch is here.
33
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,250
Look at you, Mort. Nice scruff. I like it.
34
00:03:29,334 --> 00:03:30,344
Hey, Greg.
35
00:03:30,836 --> 00:03:32,586
Lindsey. How's the puppy?
36
00:03:32,671 --> 00:03:34,971
- She's good, Mitch.
- Remember, crate training.
37
00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:36,298
You have to crate train. Hey.
38
00:03:36,383 --> 00:03:37,803
Good morning. Good morning.
39
00:03:38,343 --> 00:03:40,763
What... Fuck me.
40
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:43,929
Mitch?
41
00:03:45,642 --> 00:03:47,982
Hey there, Captain. How's the Titanic?
42
00:03:48,437 --> 00:03:49,857
Why are you here?
43
00:03:50,397 --> 00:03:51,687
I worked here for 15 years.
44
00:03:51,773 --> 00:03:53,773
There's something
I wanna say to these good people.
45
00:03:54,026 --> 00:03:57,236
- I don't think that's a good idea.
- I think it's a great idea.
46
00:03:59,740 --> 00:04:01,220
- Okay, call security.
- I already did.
47
00:04:01,241 --> 00:04:04,041
I'm staying with you.
I mean, I wanna see the show.
48
00:04:04,453 --> 00:04:07,793
Let's just hope the show doesn't involve
a sawed-off shotgun under his coat.
49
00:04:07,873 --> 00:04:08,873
God.
50
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:10,960
Hello, everybody.
51
00:04:15,422 --> 00:04:16,422
Hi.
52
00:04:20,385 --> 00:04:21,505
You know,
53
00:04:21,595 --> 00:04:24,885
I noticed on the way in that
there aren't any pictures of me out there.
54
00:04:24,973 --> 00:04:26,313
What's going on with that?
55
00:04:26,391 --> 00:04:28,891
Who did that? Who did that?
56
00:04:29,436 --> 00:04:30,556
I'm kidding.
57
00:04:31,563 --> 00:04:32,903
Well...
58
00:04:34,816 --> 00:04:36,146
isn't this awkward?
59
00:04:38,445 --> 00:04:41,695
I know you're terrified to say anything,
so I'll do all the talking.
60
00:04:45,369 --> 00:04:46,749
This is so weird.
61
00:04:48,205 --> 00:04:49,825
First of all, I'm sorry.
62
00:04:51,208 --> 00:04:54,128
And when I say that,
I'm not admitting guilt or anything.
63
00:04:54,211 --> 00:04:58,131
I am sorry in the same way you might be
sorry for someone who was hit by a bus,
64
00:04:59,049 --> 00:05:00,799
even though you weren't driving the bus.
65
00:05:01,301 --> 00:05:04,511
So, I'm sorry that the show
got hit by a bus.
66
00:05:04,930 --> 00:05:06,060
We all got hit.
67
00:05:07,891 --> 00:05:09,431
Secondly,
68
00:05:10,561 --> 00:05:11,651
I...
69
00:05:13,647 --> 00:05:16,067
I really miss the shit outta you guys.
70
00:05:18,986 --> 00:05:21,406
I miss this place. I miss being here.
71
00:05:22,447 --> 00:05:23,737
I miss my partners.
72
00:05:28,370 --> 00:05:29,540
Hey, Alex.
73
00:05:34,877 --> 00:05:37,957
I heard that you did an interview
with one of my alleged victims
74
00:05:38,714 --> 00:05:41,234
and that there's a New York Times article
coming out imminently.
75
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,760
And we all know how that's gonna go.
76
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:48,766
I'm sure they're not
gonna do a feel-good piece about me.
77
00:05:49,349 --> 00:05:51,729
So that's the other reason I'm here.
78
00:05:52,728 --> 00:05:56,648
I am asking you to speak up on my behalf.
79
00:05:57,316 --> 00:06:01,776
Call the Times, go on record,
give 'em quotes.
80
00:06:02,696 --> 00:06:05,276
You guys know me better than anybody, so,
81
00:06:05,866 --> 00:06:06,946
out there,
82
00:06:08,327 --> 00:06:09,907
they're gonna blow this up.
83
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:12,579
But you've worked with me.
84
00:06:12,664 --> 00:06:15,544
We have worked side by side
for years and years.
85
00:06:15,626 --> 00:06:17,916
We have shared family experiences.
86
00:06:18,003 --> 00:06:20,303
We are colleagues. We're friends.
87
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:23,680
I'm asking you all, as friends,
88
00:06:24,092 --> 00:06:25,972
to speak out on my behalf.
89
00:06:36,563 --> 00:06:38,653
Mitch, this is not okay.
You need to leave.
90
00:06:38,732 --> 00:06:40,902
I know that some of you want to do it.
91
00:06:40,984 --> 00:06:44,284
I know that there are some of you
who want to speak up.
92
00:06:44,363 --> 00:06:46,113
No, no.
93
00:06:46,198 --> 00:06:47,988
This is scary. I get it.
94
00:06:48,075 --> 00:06:49,365
Going against the grain,
95
00:06:49,451 --> 00:06:51,621
saying things that are unpopular
in the moment
96
00:06:51,703 --> 00:06:54,213
about people that are unpopular
in the moment.
97
00:06:55,791 --> 00:06:57,581
But this is my fucking life!
98
00:07:00,504 --> 00:07:01,764
Who will speak up for me?
99
00:07:03,090 --> 00:07:05,880
Who here will speak up for me?
100
00:07:12,057 --> 00:07:15,847
You are the people
that I love in the world!
101
00:07:25,696 --> 00:07:26,696
Anybody?
102
00:07:27,948 --> 00:07:28,948
No?
103
00:07:30,284 --> 00:07:31,414
Wow.
104
00:07:33,745 --> 00:07:35,035
Okay.
105
00:07:42,546 --> 00:07:43,586
Alex?
106
00:08:02,816 --> 00:08:05,816
Okay. Listen, I get it.
107
00:08:06,278 --> 00:08:07,398
I understand.
108
00:08:08,614 --> 00:08:12,584
But from the bottom of my heart,
I just want you all to know...
109
00:08:14,369 --> 00:08:16,079
how important you are to me.
110
00:08:17,789 --> 00:08:20,999
But... I'm...
That's not to lay a guilt trip.
111
00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:23,629
I really do love you guys.
112
00:08:24,421 --> 00:08:28,011
And it's been an honor
working with all of you. Thank you.
113
00:08:50,906 --> 00:08:51,946
Mitch Kessler!
114
00:08:53,909 --> 00:08:56,159
If it isn't Bradley Jackson.
115
00:08:59,873 --> 00:09:01,543
Who else knew what was going on?
116
00:09:06,547 --> 00:09:07,837
Who do you think?
117
00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:14,890
Congrats on the chair.
118
00:09:16,306 --> 00:09:17,846
Keep your back to the wall.
119
00:09:32,573 --> 00:09:33,783
Bill! Bill?
120
00:09:39,246 --> 00:09:40,246
Hey.
121
00:09:40,873 --> 00:09:41,923
Hey.
122
00:09:41,999 --> 00:09:43,829
We were just talking about you.
123
00:09:44,293 --> 00:09:45,293
Oh, yeah?
124
00:09:45,836 --> 00:09:47,746
We think you are amazing.
125
00:09:48,422 --> 00:09:51,632
Really? I feel like everybody over there
wants to put my head on a spike.
126
00:09:52,176 --> 00:09:55,386
No. No, no, no. A lot of us
actually find you incredibly inspiring.
127
00:09:56,263 --> 00:09:58,563
Thank you for saying that.
I really appreciate it.
128
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,850
Would you wanna come out with
some of us from the office tomorrow night?
129
00:10:01,935 --> 00:10:05,185
It's Claire's birthday,
and we're going drinking.
130
00:10:06,481 --> 00:10:07,901
It's your birthday.
131
00:10:07,983 --> 00:10:09,823
I'm sure you have
something much better to do.
132
00:10:09,902 --> 00:10:12,032
No. I actually have nothing to do.
I don't...
133
00:10:12,112 --> 00:10:14,622
I don't really know anybody here.
So I would love to come.
134
00:10:14,698 --> 00:10:17,698
I just have to move into my new hotel.
But what time?
135
00:10:18,118 --> 00:10:19,748
Nine-ish?
136
00:10:19,828 --> 00:10:20,948
- Yeah.
- Tom O'Donnell's.
137
00:10:21,038 --> 00:10:23,078
- Great, great.
- Birdly!
138
00:10:23,916 --> 00:10:27,536
I think that's me. I'm Birdly, I think.
Okay, I'll see y'all tomorrow night.
139
00:10:27,628 --> 00:10:29,958
- Bye, Birdly.
- Bye.
140
00:10:30,047 --> 00:10:31,717
- Thank you.
- You're welcome. Enjoy.
141
00:11:52,504 --> 00:11:53,674
Holy shit.
142
00:11:57,551 --> 00:11:59,511
And he did that to me.
143
00:11:59,970 --> 00:12:02,720
He branded me.
144
00:12:02,806 --> 00:12:05,726
He stole my self-confidence,
my self-worth.
145
00:12:09,062 --> 00:12:10,152
And then I was drowning,
146
00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:12,690
and there was no one
to throw me a lifeline.
147
00:12:41,178 --> 00:12:42,758
Oh, my God.
148
00:12:50,395 --> 00:12:53,315
Hello. Please leave
a message after the tone.
149
00:12:57,611 --> 00:13:00,411
Hey, it's Chip. Can you call me back?
150
00:13:01,156 --> 00:13:03,156
I could really use a favor.
151
00:13:34,481 --> 00:13:36,651
- Hey, Mia.
- Good morning, Bradley.
152
00:13:36,733 --> 00:13:39,093
Maggie Brener from New York Magazine
should be there any minute.
153
00:13:39,111 --> 00:13:40,701
I told the front desk to call you.
154
00:13:41,822 --> 00:13:43,282
Oh, yeah. I'm almost ready.
155
00:13:43,365 --> 00:13:45,235
Listen. That Ashley interview.
156
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:47,735
- We didn't get the chance to talk after.
- I know, Mia.
157
00:13:47,828 --> 00:13:49,748
I'm not gonna say
what you think I'm gonna say.
158
00:13:49,830 --> 00:13:52,100
I thought it was a great interview.
I'm really proud of it,
159
00:13:52,124 --> 00:13:53,754
especially with Mitch showing up after.
160
00:13:53,834 --> 00:13:57,634
I mean, it's just a big fucking reminder
that what you did was right.
161
00:13:58,255 --> 00:14:00,045
I think he misses an audience.
162
00:14:00,132 --> 00:14:03,262
Yeah, well. Look what happened.
We all just sat there and listened.
163
00:14:03,677 --> 00:14:05,597
Well, obviously we're gonna be curious.
164
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,769
Exactly. Which is why Maggie Brener
is gonna be curious, right?
165
00:14:09,850 --> 00:14:11,640
It's this fascinating car crash,
166
00:14:11,727 --> 00:14:13,597
and with Ashley's confession,
167
00:14:13,687 --> 00:14:16,447
it's just opened up the door
to more questions about The Morning Show.
168
00:14:16,481 --> 00:14:18,901
And she is gonna expect you
to answer them.
169
00:14:21,236 --> 00:14:22,446
What are you asking?
170
00:14:24,323 --> 00:14:26,623
I'm just asking
that you keep all that in mind.
171
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,290
Maggie thinks she's smarter than everyone.
172
00:14:33,457 --> 00:14:36,127
Well, I have no idea why
The Morning Show chose me.
173
00:14:36,210 --> 00:14:39,800
I mean, I feel like sometimes
they got the wrong person or something.
174
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,430
Like, someone's gonna call up
and tell me it was a big mistake.
175
00:14:43,509 --> 00:14:45,069
Well, that's part of your charm, right?
176
00:14:45,385 --> 00:14:48,925
The complete lack of pretense,
the self-effacing authenticity.
177
00:14:49,014 --> 00:14:50,854
Now, how do you hold on to all that?
178
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:57,060
I mean, I don't know. I guess,
just don't believe your own press.
179
00:14:57,147 --> 00:14:59,317
Don't surround yourself with yes-people.
180
00:14:59,816 --> 00:15:01,856
Mainly I just think
we're all gonna end up dead,
181
00:15:01,944 --> 00:15:03,864
so there's no coming out on top anyway.
182
00:15:03,946 --> 00:15:06,106
You just can't get caught up
in all that bullshit.
183
00:15:07,449 --> 00:15:09,909
I probably shouldn't say "shit."
184
00:15:09,993 --> 00:15:12,453
That's okay. We all speak a little French.
185
00:15:14,039 --> 00:15:18,789
So, you change The Morning Show,
don't let The Morning Show change you?
186
00:15:19,753 --> 00:15:22,673
Well, I think we can evolve together.
187
00:15:24,466 --> 00:15:25,676
Right.
188
00:15:27,386 --> 00:15:30,056
But... Alex.
189
00:15:30,889 --> 00:15:33,559
I've known her for a long time.
She is a legend.
190
00:15:33,642 --> 00:15:34,642
She is.
191
00:15:34,726 --> 00:15:37,186
Do you think that she's up for this...
192
00:15:38,021 --> 00:15:41,191
Morning Show feminist revolution
that you've ignited?
193
00:15:42,609 --> 00:15:44,569
Especially in her own home.
194
00:15:45,028 --> 00:15:46,568
Oh, I think she is.
195
00:15:47,155 --> 00:15:51,365
But do you notice a shift
in the behind-the-scenes culture
196
00:15:51,827 --> 00:15:53,117
now that Mitch is gone?
197
00:15:53,620 --> 00:15:57,170
Or is that even possible given
that so much of the old guard remains?
198
00:15:57,583 --> 00:15:59,813
I wasn't there before,
so I can't really speak to a shift.
199
00:15:59,835 --> 00:16:02,125
But you were clearly
chasing that story yesterday
200
00:16:02,212 --> 00:16:03,842
in your interview with Ashley Brown,
201
00:16:03,922 --> 00:16:06,302
wondering at the culture
202
00:16:06,383 --> 00:16:09,763
that allowed Mitch's behavior
to go unchecked for a decade.
203
00:16:09,845 --> 00:16:12,845
So I think it's fair to assume
you're curious?
204
00:16:20,522 --> 00:16:23,362
Yeah, I'm human. And I'm a journalist.
205
00:16:23,442 --> 00:16:26,242
So when I see someone
who has a story to tell,
206
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,910
I try to create space
for them to share it.
207
00:16:30,449 --> 00:16:32,869
Have you shared that space with Alex?
208
00:16:36,872 --> 00:16:38,872
She's been there longer than anyone.
209
00:16:41,877 --> 00:16:44,587
Yeah. Alex and I have
just started to work together.
210
00:16:44,671 --> 00:16:46,341
And I think we're off to a good start.
211
00:16:49,218 --> 00:16:53,308
I'm hopeful that we will prove
to be a very powerful team.
212
00:16:54,723 --> 00:16:57,523
Well, I look forward
to our ten-year follow-up interview.
213
00:16:58,185 --> 00:17:00,975
Let's see if everything works out
as you've intended it to.
214
00:17:08,779 --> 00:17:12,319
{\an8}We gave you the thrust of it.
There were four accusers who came forward,
215
00:17:12,406 --> 00:17:15,656
{\an8}two by name. And after Ashley,
we now have two more women
216
00:17:15,743 --> 00:17:17,253
{\an8}who are willing to go on record.
217
00:17:17,329 --> 00:17:20,539
{\an8}Allegations of misconduct and harassment
by Mitch.
218
00:17:20,624 --> 00:17:21,794
{\an8}Some went through channels.
219
00:17:21,875 --> 00:17:24,745
We're giving you eight hours
to respond with a quote from Fred.
220
00:17:24,837 --> 00:17:27,207
They need to give us the fucking details.
221
00:17:27,297 --> 00:17:30,047
I need to know what's in the story,
how exposed we are.
222
00:17:30,133 --> 00:17:31,133
Agreed.
223
00:17:31,218 --> 00:17:33,598
Otherwise I won't validate this
with a quote.
224
00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:43,270
{\an8}Okay, Rob.
Let's just cut to the chase here.
225
00:17:43,355 --> 00:17:45,855
{\an8}You know that we're not gonna
let Fred give you a quote
226
00:17:45,941 --> 00:17:47,991
if he doesn't know the content.
227
00:17:48,068 --> 00:17:49,528
Hey, we're calling as a courtesy.
228
00:17:49,611 --> 00:17:51,491
Our story plays
with or without the quotes.
229
00:17:51,572 --> 00:17:53,122
But you should think of optics.
230
00:17:53,198 --> 00:17:55,368
People will know
that Fred is trying to duck out.
231
00:17:55,951 --> 00:17:57,041
Duck out from what?
232
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,369
There's a million vague stories
going around. Yours isn't special.
233
00:18:00,455 --> 00:18:04,415
If you had something to say that was new
or explosive, then you'd be telling us.
234
00:18:09,965 --> 00:18:12,755
Here's what we have.
Four sources of quotes.
235
00:18:12,843 --> 00:18:15,263
Three are women who work
or have worked on the show,
236
00:18:15,345 --> 00:18:17,965
one from a male
who currently works on the show.
237
00:18:18,056 --> 00:18:21,596
These events took place
in his dressing room, in his car,
238
00:18:22,019 --> 00:18:24,309
on location, in hotels,
239
00:18:24,396 --> 00:18:27,146
in a Chevron bathroom
on a remote in Northern California
240
00:18:27,232 --> 00:18:28,822
during the Shakespeare Festival,
241
00:18:28,901 --> 00:18:31,401
in Rome during the papal conclave,
242
00:18:31,486 --> 00:18:34,276
a weekend at his vacation home
in the Hamptons,
243
00:18:34,364 --> 00:18:36,624
and numerous incidents on his yacht.
244
00:18:37,326 --> 00:18:38,486
Extra, extra.
245
00:18:41,371 --> 00:18:43,081
Anybody can say anything.
246
00:18:43,790 --> 00:18:45,380
Is any of this credible?
247
00:18:45,459 --> 00:18:47,999
It's some direct quotes
and some second-party.
248
00:18:48,086 --> 00:18:51,466
One of them is Fred's old assistant,
Janine Friedman.
249
00:18:52,007 --> 00:18:54,637
Mitch fucked Janine? Jesus.
250
00:18:54,718 --> 00:18:56,638
What's the quote from Friedman?
251
00:18:58,805 --> 00:19:02,845
Janine stated, "There was always an
environment of protection for the stars.
252
00:19:02,935 --> 00:19:05,265
I'm not speaking
directly about sexual allegations,
253
00:19:05,354 --> 00:19:09,484
but obviously the stars are the bread and
butter, and they are fiercely protected.
254
00:19:09,566 --> 00:19:12,606
I know there were always rumors
about what Mitch was doing.
255
00:19:12,694 --> 00:19:14,534
It was common knowledge."
256
00:19:15,989 --> 00:19:19,619
What about if we trade the story
of Mitch coming to the set yesterday
257
00:19:19,701 --> 00:19:22,791
and getting escorted off by security
for dropping the quote?
258
00:19:25,582 --> 00:19:26,962
- Text him.
- Yeah.
259
00:19:29,127 --> 00:19:30,707
This is exciting.
260
00:19:38,470 --> 00:19:39,510
Listen.
261
00:19:40,097 --> 00:19:42,307
We have a story that's
a perfect addition to this piece.
262
00:19:42,391 --> 00:19:45,191
It's directly about Mitch,
and it's eyewitnesses.
263
00:19:45,894 --> 00:19:47,104
That's fantastic.
264
00:19:47,187 --> 00:19:48,937
But you have to drop the Friedman quote.
265
00:19:49,022 --> 00:19:50,822
I need to hear it
before I can make that deal.
266
00:19:51,108 --> 00:19:52,778
No, that's not gonna happen.
267
00:19:52,860 --> 00:19:55,280
I promise you,
it's going to make the piece sing.
268
00:20:04,288 --> 00:20:05,618
Fuck 'em. They're bluffing.
269
00:20:06,081 --> 00:20:09,501
Sorry, we're gonna run the piece as is.
Thank you.
270
00:20:10,794 --> 00:20:12,214
What the hell?
271
00:20:16,508 --> 00:20:18,468
You need to do anything
you can to stop this.
272
00:20:18,552 --> 00:20:20,782
Discredit people making the allegations,
call our sources.
273
00:20:20,804 --> 00:20:22,764
Do what you have to do
to get people to retract.
274
00:20:22,848 --> 00:20:26,228
Buy them off. But stop this
from happening immediately,
275
00:20:26,310 --> 00:20:28,480
or you're gonna be looking for new jobs.
276
00:20:38,238 --> 00:20:40,988
I'm really fucking sick of you
and sick of your shtick.
277
00:20:41,408 --> 00:20:43,118
I know you think you're a genius.
278
00:20:43,535 --> 00:20:46,865
I have chewed through seven different
versions of guys like you in my career.
279
00:20:46,955 --> 00:20:50,205
So stop acting like
you're the second coming of the Lord.
280
00:20:51,710 --> 00:20:53,380
The truth is, nobody likes you.
281
00:20:54,213 --> 00:20:55,803
Well, maybe your mother does,
282
00:20:55,881 --> 00:20:59,011
but I guess she didn't
pay enough attention to you, and...
283
00:21:00,302 --> 00:21:02,302
now we all have to suffer because of it.
284
00:21:16,443 --> 00:21:17,993
May I enter my lady's chamber?
285
00:21:18,070 --> 00:21:21,620
So polite of you. Yes, please. Come in.
286
00:21:22,407 --> 00:21:24,277
I'm getting my game face on.
287
00:21:24,368 --> 00:21:25,948
Game face.
288
00:21:26,370 --> 00:21:29,000
There was me thinking
this was a delightful charity fund-raiser.
289
00:21:29,081 --> 00:21:30,081
No, it is. It is.
290
00:21:30,165 --> 00:21:33,665
Unfortunately, I have to do some
old-fashioned stroking
291
00:21:33,752 --> 00:21:36,002
of Maggie Brener's oversized ego.
292
00:21:36,088 --> 00:21:37,458
Oh, to what end?
293
00:21:37,548 --> 00:21:40,298
Well, she interviewed Bradley today
for New York Magazine,
294
00:21:40,384 --> 00:21:43,014
and I just, I just have to make sure
I'm all over it.
295
00:21:43,554 --> 00:21:45,764
Always something exciting
to look forward to.
296
00:21:46,223 --> 00:21:49,023
You have armies to conquer.
Look your best.
297
00:21:49,434 --> 00:21:51,404
You're supposed to say I already do.
298
00:21:51,478 --> 00:21:53,398
- You already do.
- Thank you.
299
00:22:05,742 --> 00:22:08,002
Bradley, it's your dad.
300
00:22:08,829 --> 00:22:14,329
I'm here in my car.
And I thought I'd give you a call.
301
00:22:17,171 --> 00:22:19,131
Chip, that Ashley Brown interview.
302
00:22:19,214 --> 00:22:20,554
My God.
303
00:22:20,632 --> 00:22:22,382
I know. It's a real barn burner, huh?
304
00:22:22,467 --> 00:22:26,757
Yeah. Well, you guys promised
transparency after Mitch, but... Jesus.
305
00:22:27,264 --> 00:22:29,104
Look, let's just cut to it.
306
00:22:29,183 --> 00:22:32,393
The article you're dropping,
with more Mitch accusers...
307
00:22:32,853 --> 00:22:34,273
You want to comment on the record?
308
00:22:35,939 --> 00:22:38,339
No, I want you to tell me
what's about to fuck me up the ass.
309
00:22:39,401 --> 00:22:41,031
You weren't listening in on the call?
310
00:22:46,533 --> 00:22:47,583
Sorry.
311
00:22:48,744 --> 00:22:50,004
All right, fuck it.
312
00:22:50,746 --> 00:22:52,576
How exposed is the network?
313
00:22:52,664 --> 00:22:55,044
The show?
I mean, how exposed am I, Robbie?
314
00:22:55,834 --> 00:22:57,884
You gotta give me something, please.
315
00:22:57,961 --> 00:22:59,841
I mean, how long have we been friends?
316
00:22:59,922 --> 00:23:02,442
We chased the same stories.
We stayed in the same shitty motels.
317
00:23:02,466 --> 00:23:04,256
You've met most of my ex-wives.
318
00:23:04,343 --> 00:23:07,893
I've done shit for you.
I helped you get this job.
319
00:23:09,014 --> 00:23:11,394
We know the culture wasn't perfect
at the show,
320
00:23:11,475 --> 00:23:13,385
but we did not know everything.
321
00:23:13,810 --> 00:23:15,400
And we are cleaning it up.
322
00:23:16,772 --> 00:23:19,902
Gotta help me.
It's quid pro quo. It's what we do.
323
00:23:22,945 --> 00:23:23,945
I'm sorry, Chip.
324
00:23:24,696 --> 00:23:27,446
Really? You're sorry?
After what I gave you?
325
00:23:29,117 --> 00:23:31,537
I don't remember what you gave me.
326
00:23:32,204 --> 00:23:33,794
Wasn't that the deal?
327
00:23:36,083 --> 00:23:39,923
I'm not asking you
to compromise the piece.
328
00:23:40,003 --> 00:23:42,133
Just don't shoot me in the fucking face.
329
00:23:43,465 --> 00:23:44,675
You owe me that.
330
00:23:47,845 --> 00:23:49,595
That might compromise the piece.
331
00:23:54,643 --> 00:23:57,023
I know where your skeletons are buried,
my friend.
332
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,020
I'd think about what you're doing.
333
00:24:13,161 --> 00:24:15,001
Welcome. May I take your coat?
334
00:24:16,582 --> 00:24:18,132
Permission granted.
335
00:24:20,169 --> 00:24:21,709
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
336
00:24:21,795 --> 00:24:22,835
You're welcome. Enjoy.
337
00:24:58,540 --> 00:25:01,670
This gives you the warning.
Cory just walked in.
338
00:25:06,131 --> 00:25:08,681
- Okay. Game face.
- The smile.
339
00:25:15,641 --> 00:25:17,941
Hello, Cory. So glad that you could come.
340
00:25:18,018 --> 00:25:20,438
Oh, Alex, if only you meant that.
341
00:25:20,521 --> 00:25:22,981
I know you only invited me
for political reasons.
342
00:25:23,398 --> 00:25:25,068
Oh. Well, true.
343
00:25:25,526 --> 00:25:27,396
But let's just pretend maybe I didn't.
344
00:25:27,819 --> 00:25:29,029
It might be more fun.
345
00:25:34,243 --> 00:25:36,793
Oh, and you can sing
a show tune for a donation.
346
00:25:38,288 --> 00:25:39,998
What about "The Waltz of Treachery"?
347
00:25:40,624 --> 00:25:41,714
Les Mis?
348
00:25:42,125 --> 00:25:46,415
Very inside baseball, that selection.
I'm impressed.
349
00:25:46,505 --> 00:25:47,915
Likewise.
350
00:25:48,382 --> 00:25:51,262
I guess we do have
something in common after all.
351
00:25:51,343 --> 00:25:52,683
Who knew?
352
00:26:02,855 --> 00:26:03,855
Manhattan?
353
00:26:06,233 --> 00:26:07,363
When in Rome.
354
00:26:08,694 --> 00:26:10,244
So good to see you.
355
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,320
- Hi, Geneva.
- Hi.
356
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,410
You're here.
357
00:26:14,491 --> 00:26:17,491
- Thanks for coming.
- Thank you so much for doing this, Alex.
358
00:26:17,578 --> 00:26:19,098
Yes, thank you. Place looks beautiful.
359
00:26:19,162 --> 00:26:20,622
Thank you. Thank you.
360
00:26:20,706 --> 00:26:22,706
- How is everything?
- Okay.
361
00:26:22,791 --> 00:26:25,461
- Yeah?
- Okay, well, actually, not okay.
362
00:26:25,544 --> 00:26:29,174
Have you heard about these wildfires
outside of Los Angeles, California?
363
00:26:29,256 --> 00:26:30,586
I know. They're horrible.
364
00:26:30,674 --> 00:26:33,934
Well, apparently, they're just a few miles
from our Malibu home.
365
00:26:34,011 --> 00:26:35,971
- No. I'm so sorry.
- We'll be fine.
366
00:26:36,054 --> 00:26:38,644
We have a hysterical neighbor
who loves the drama.
367
00:26:38,724 --> 00:26:41,194
But I really hope you're right, Fred.
368
00:26:41,935 --> 00:26:45,935
I hope you get to relax.
That's what tonight is all about. Okay?
369
00:26:46,607 --> 00:26:48,977
Bid on something, Fred. Don't be cheap.
370
00:26:50,527 --> 00:26:52,237
Why does everyone think I'm so cheap?
371
00:26:52,863 --> 00:26:54,283
Because you are, dear.
372
00:27:00,495 --> 00:27:02,365
- Thank you.
- Do you come here often?
373
00:27:04,124 --> 00:27:06,384
Yeah. You actually look
kinda familiar to me.
374
00:27:06,460 --> 00:27:07,460
Buy you a drink?
375
00:27:07,794 --> 00:27:10,714
I'd love to. But I'm too busy
controlling the universe.
376
00:27:11,173 --> 00:27:12,423
Of course you are.
377
00:27:13,509 --> 00:27:15,259
Have you seen Maggie yet?
378
00:27:16,303 --> 00:27:18,393
God. She better fucking show.
379
00:27:18,472 --> 00:27:21,062
Yeah. How's the old game face holding up?
380
00:27:21,141 --> 00:27:24,811
My game face is fantastic.
I'm doing great.
381
00:27:24,895 --> 00:27:27,415
You know that I always know how
to pull it together when I have to.
382
00:27:27,439 --> 00:27:28,439
Yes, I do.
383
00:27:28,524 --> 00:27:30,614
Yes. But you know what's driving me crazy?
384
00:27:30,692 --> 00:27:33,402
Everybody. All they wanna do
is talk about Bradley Jackson.
385
00:27:34,154 --> 00:27:37,534
"This Bradley, she's amazing."
"Oh, my God. What a find."
386
00:27:37,991 --> 00:27:40,411
"Bradley, she's just like a revelation."
387
00:27:40,494 --> 00:27:42,004
"What a firecracker."
388
00:27:42,079 --> 00:27:43,499
It's fucking bullshit.
389
00:27:44,748 --> 00:27:46,788
I swear to God. I'm the one who found her,
390
00:27:46,875 --> 00:27:49,375
- and no one seems to remember that.
- I remember it.
391
00:27:50,254 --> 00:27:52,264
Anyhow, speech time.
392
00:27:52,339 --> 00:27:54,259
So, deep breath.
393
00:27:54,341 --> 00:27:58,011
Look both ways.
Wear a helmet and just be careful.
394
00:27:58,554 --> 00:28:00,894
Oh, come on. Don't worry.
I'm almost always careful.
395
00:28:00,973 --> 00:28:02,183
"Almost."
396
00:28:02,266 --> 00:28:03,556
Okay.
397
00:28:07,437 --> 00:28:08,767
Excuse me.
398
00:28:08,856 --> 00:28:11,936
Hello, everyone.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna sing.
399
00:28:13,652 --> 00:28:17,572
I just wanted to take a moment to thank
all of you for coming out tonight.
400
00:28:17,656 --> 00:28:21,736
And a very special thanks
to Geneva Micklen, who introduced me
401
00:28:21,827 --> 00:28:26,827
to this wonderful foundation
and the reason we are all here tonight.
402
00:28:27,666 --> 00:28:28,956
Thank you.
403
00:28:29,042 --> 00:28:31,132
The New York Theatre Development Fund
404
00:28:31,211 --> 00:28:34,631
seeks to bring the power of theater
to everyone.
405
00:28:34,715 --> 00:28:37,925
They provide scholarships
for underprivileged drama students
406
00:28:38,010 --> 00:28:39,680
and future theater performers.
407
00:28:39,761 --> 00:28:42,681
So, please check out the auction room.
408
00:28:42,764 --> 00:28:44,854
There are some fantastic pieces in there.
409
00:28:45,601 --> 00:28:47,981
And Christian will be here all night.
410
00:28:48,061 --> 00:28:52,401
So, for a $1000 donation, you can
sing one of your favorite show tunes.
411
00:28:52,482 --> 00:28:55,992
Like Cheyenne Jackson did so beautifully
just before.
412
00:28:56,570 --> 00:28:59,360
Yes, and there will be desserts
passed around, drinks.
413
00:28:59,448 --> 00:29:01,868
And just please enjoy yourselves and...
414
00:29:02,743 --> 00:29:04,373
long live Broadway.
415
00:29:05,370 --> 00:29:06,750
Thank you. Enjoy.
416
00:29:07,956 --> 00:29:10,166
- You did so well. Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
417
00:29:30,812 --> 00:29:32,862
- Hey.
- Hey, what can I get ya?
418
00:29:33,857 --> 00:29:37,277
What do you have for a social obligation
I'm not emotionally equipped to be at?
419
00:29:37,736 --> 00:29:40,566
Jameson.
It got us through the social obligation
420
00:29:40,656 --> 00:29:42,336
of lying to the British for quite a while.
421
00:29:42,741 --> 00:29:45,331
Perfect. I'll have that on the rocks.
422
00:29:45,410 --> 00:29:46,830
Actually, make it a double.
423
00:29:46,912 --> 00:29:50,082
A double? I'll run a tab for ya.
424
00:29:51,083 --> 00:29:52,333
Great. My name's Bradley.
425
00:29:52,751 --> 00:29:53,791
I'll remember ya.
426
00:29:54,294 --> 00:29:56,094
All right. Wish me luck.
427
00:29:56,171 --> 00:29:57,211
Good luck.
428
00:30:00,634 --> 00:30:02,304
That's Bradley Jackson.
429
00:30:02,386 --> 00:30:04,756
Bradley's here. How did that happen?
430
00:30:04,847 --> 00:30:06,387
Oh, yeah, Claire and I invited her.
431
00:30:06,473 --> 00:30:09,143
She actually showed up? Interesting.
432
00:30:09,226 --> 00:30:11,496
- Oh, my God. I love that hair.
- Who wants another round?
433
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,900
You like it? The network made me
look like a tool. So, I changed it.
434
00:30:14,982 --> 00:30:17,072
Anyway, thank you for having me.
435
00:30:17,150 --> 00:30:18,150
Happy birthday, Claire.
436
00:30:18,235 --> 00:30:19,695
- This is for you.
- Thank you.
437
00:30:19,778 --> 00:30:21,778
- To Claire. To Claire.
- Thank you.
438
00:30:21,864 --> 00:30:23,954
- To Claire.
- Thank you very much.
439
00:30:24,032 --> 00:30:25,952
- Cheers.
- We were just about to play
440
00:30:26,034 --> 00:30:29,874
"Take a shot for every time you hit on
someone at a workplace in the old days."
441
00:30:31,164 --> 00:30:32,844
- In the old days.
- Anybody need anything?
442
00:30:32,875 --> 00:30:35,585
- Tequila.
- Tequila.
443
00:30:35,669 --> 00:30:37,959
Yes, tequila.
And then we're gonna put it on my card,
444
00:30:38,046 --> 00:30:39,836
and I'm gonna keep it open all night.
445
00:30:39,923 --> 00:30:40,923
My name is Bradley.
446
00:30:41,550 --> 00:30:44,090
- Ms. Jackson.
- Ms. Jackson if you're nasty.
447
00:30:45,679 --> 00:30:47,849
Oh, my God.
448
00:30:47,931 --> 00:30:49,851
You nasty, Layla. I see you.
449
00:30:50,934 --> 00:30:53,734
How does he know who I am?
This is so weird.
450
00:30:53,812 --> 00:30:56,022
- Get used to it.
- That's what this is for.
451
00:30:56,106 --> 00:30:58,206
Takes the edge off the things
you don't like thinking about.
452
00:30:58,233 --> 00:31:00,823
Cheers to that, my friend. To denial.
453
00:31:00,903 --> 00:31:02,573
Denial!
454
00:31:02,654 --> 00:31:07,664
Yes, I
455
00:31:17,294 --> 00:31:18,594
Can
456
00:31:18,670 --> 00:31:23,840
Yes, she can
457
00:31:26,386 --> 00:31:29,136
You're too good. That was so silly.
458
00:31:31,975 --> 00:31:33,305
Tequila on the rocks, please.
459
00:31:34,603 --> 00:31:37,563
Daniel, you're too talented.
460
00:31:38,357 --> 00:31:41,397
Well, I'm no Neil Diamond, but I do okay.
461
00:31:41,818 --> 00:31:44,568
No, the singing was great,
but what I meant was you're too talented
462
00:31:44,655 --> 00:31:48,025
to be waiting around for some white folks
to play chess to decide your future.
463
00:31:48,659 --> 00:31:50,789
It is good to see you, Audra.
464
00:31:51,495 --> 00:31:52,925
So, where's the rest of the YDA team?
465
00:31:52,955 --> 00:31:56,665
Well, Jimmy's grandmother's home is
in the path of the California wildfires.
466
00:31:56,750 --> 00:31:58,810
So, he went out to make sure
that everything was okay.
467
00:31:58,836 --> 00:32:00,376
Oh, my God. That's terrible.
468
00:32:00,462 --> 00:32:01,622
Yeah, we'll see what happens.
469
00:32:01,672 --> 00:32:02,882
What I was getting at was
470
00:32:02,965 --> 00:32:05,255
there is something
that I would like to discuss with you.
471
00:32:05,342 --> 00:32:06,342
Okay.
472
00:32:07,135 --> 00:32:11,675
Preferably not in an environment
that is teeming with TMS overlords.
473
00:32:11,765 --> 00:32:14,975
Look,
TMS has been my home for a long time,
474
00:32:15,060 --> 00:32:18,360
and I don't think
my work here is done just yet.
475
00:32:18,814 --> 00:32:20,324
Do you feel appreciated?
476
00:32:20,858 --> 00:32:22,068
I feel motivated.
477
00:32:22,943 --> 00:32:25,993
Okay, keep telling yourself that.
Come talk to me.
478
00:32:31,493 --> 00:32:35,623
Hey. Why don't you be a good gay
and come listen to show tunes with me?
479
00:32:36,164 --> 00:32:38,044
- Sure.
- Okay, come on.
480
00:32:38,792 --> 00:32:39,942
- Painful, right?
- Brutally painful.
481
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,400
Oh, no. There's nothing much left now.
482
00:32:41,420 --> 00:32:44,010
- All right. So, are you gonna sing?
- Please, make him sing.
483
00:32:44,089 --> 00:32:45,089
Oh, please. Come on.
484
00:32:45,174 --> 00:32:48,014
I'm thinking "Modern Major General"
'cause I can talk-sing it,
485
00:32:48,093 --> 00:32:49,533
and I learned it in boarding school.
486
00:32:49,553 --> 00:32:53,393
So, it's either that, or any musical
that Rex Harrison ever sang in. We'll see.
487
00:32:53,473 --> 00:32:54,643
Gilbert and Sullivan.
488
00:32:54,725 --> 00:32:57,515
What a crowd-pleaser.
I can't wait for that.
489
00:32:57,603 --> 00:32:59,353
- It'll be good, Yanko.
- Okay. Sure.
490
00:32:59,438 --> 00:33:01,768
Oh, Maggie. Okay, have fun.
491
00:33:02,274 --> 00:33:04,994
- Hi, Maggie.
- Hi, Alex.
492
00:33:05,819 --> 00:33:07,609
- How are you?
- Beautiful party.
493
00:33:07,696 --> 00:33:10,526
- And beautiful men.
- I know. Always.
494
00:33:11,366 --> 00:33:13,616
You are such a champ for being here.
495
00:33:13,702 --> 00:33:17,082
I know that you already had a full day
with my new partner in crime.
496
00:33:17,164 --> 00:33:18,504
She's quite something, huh?
497
00:33:18,916 --> 00:33:20,376
Bradley, yeah.
498
00:33:20,459 --> 00:33:24,049
- Yeah, she's an interesting find.
- Yes, I know. I know.
499
00:33:25,464 --> 00:33:26,474
Is she here?
500
00:33:27,841 --> 00:33:29,131
- Okay.
- Nope, she's not here.
501
00:33:29,218 --> 00:33:31,758
No, she actually
is taking a night for herself.
502
00:33:31,845 --> 00:33:34,675
- Which she has earned.
- Good for her.
503
00:33:34,765 --> 00:33:37,845
It must've been quite the week
being shot outta the TMS cannon.
504
00:33:37,935 --> 00:33:39,095
It was a tough week for her.
505
00:33:39,728 --> 00:33:44,398
And, I mean, she's extremely talented,
but she got quite shell-shocked
506
00:33:44,483 --> 00:33:46,403
when I told her
that she had to go on air Monday.
507
00:33:46,485 --> 00:33:47,945
Who wouldn't be? So...
508
00:33:49,780 --> 00:33:51,450
You made the Monday call?
509
00:33:51,949 --> 00:33:53,779
Yeah, I know what the show needs.
510
00:33:53,867 --> 00:33:56,247
You know, a fast, fresh start.
511
00:33:56,328 --> 00:34:00,118
Feminist slant. And it couldn't
happen faster in my opinion.
512
00:34:00,791 --> 00:34:03,211
And Bradley came through like a superstar.
513
00:34:03,293 --> 00:34:07,713
I mean, for someone who has
zero anchor experience, she did great.
514
00:34:09,132 --> 00:34:12,142
Well, clearly guided
by the steady hand of someone
515
00:34:12,219 --> 00:34:14,499
who has been through the wringers
of the industry herself.
516
00:34:14,554 --> 00:34:18,314
Well, yes. I mean, you know this, Maggie.
517
00:34:18,391 --> 00:34:21,401
It's never straightforward
when women try to take control
518
00:34:21,478 --> 00:34:24,518
of a male-dominated empire, you know?
519
00:34:24,606 --> 00:34:26,776
But we made history with that interview.
520
00:34:28,150 --> 00:34:31,030
You're already a royal we? That's cute.
521
00:34:31,112 --> 00:34:32,112
Thank you.
522
00:34:32,864 --> 00:34:36,874
I mean, come on, you really think
that I wouldn't take a firm hand
523
00:34:36,952 --> 00:34:39,662
in an interview that had stakes that high?
524
00:34:40,414 --> 00:34:43,384
I mean, I worked with Bradley all week,
I guided her,
525
00:34:44,126 --> 00:34:46,916
trying to get to the truth
of Ashley's experience.
526
00:34:47,629 --> 00:34:52,469
And it was intense. And it was tough.
But we, I... We got there.
527
00:34:54,011 --> 00:34:56,261
Is this supposed to be on the record?
528
00:34:59,725 --> 00:35:00,725
No.
529
00:35:01,894 --> 00:35:04,194
I just thought
that you would be interested
530
00:35:04,271 --> 00:35:07,521
in the changes that were happening
over at TMS.
531
00:35:09,776 --> 00:35:14,236
I mean, I myself felt certain constraints
sitting next to Mitch.
532
00:35:15,282 --> 00:35:18,452
And now, I finally have an opportunity
to make things better over there
533
00:35:18,535 --> 00:35:20,535
for women, and for myself.
534
00:35:23,415 --> 00:35:25,915
- What?
- Alex, we've known each other too long.
535
00:35:27,044 --> 00:35:28,964
I have tremendous respect for you, but...
536
00:35:29,922 --> 00:35:33,932
I am not going to write
some feminist puff piece
537
00:35:34,009 --> 00:35:35,299
about a woman...
538
00:35:36,845 --> 00:35:40,515
who turned a blind eye
to the sexual misconduct of her cohost.
539
00:35:44,353 --> 00:35:45,653
Excuse me?
540
00:35:45,729 --> 00:35:48,519
Bradley's profile is gonna be great.
541
00:35:51,276 --> 00:35:53,946
I don't blame you
for being worried about getting lost,
542
00:35:54,029 --> 00:35:58,029
the fear that someone sitting next to you
is your replacement.
543
00:35:59,993 --> 00:36:02,043
I know this is really hard for you.
544
00:36:04,414 --> 00:36:06,124
Would you like to comment on that?
545
00:36:10,295 --> 00:36:12,045
Off the record, Maggie.
546
00:36:13,006 --> 00:36:15,006
I'm not afraid about getting lost.
547
00:36:16,969 --> 00:36:18,099
Anywhere.
548
00:36:18,887 --> 00:36:20,007
Ever.
549
00:36:21,890 --> 00:36:23,310
Enjoy the party.
550
00:36:30,899 --> 00:36:33,169
I still haven't heard anything
about the Times pulling back.
551
00:36:33,193 --> 00:36:34,903
Fuckers. Have you?
552
00:36:34,987 --> 00:36:37,487
No, not a word. Fuckers.
553
00:36:38,323 --> 00:36:40,623
Hey, you just missed
the press photographer, Chip.
554
00:36:40,701 --> 00:36:41,701
Shall I call her back?
555
00:36:41,785 --> 00:36:45,955
We can all be in the Gala section of W
looking like the rich assholes we are.
556
00:36:47,374 --> 00:36:50,544
I think I'm more comfortable
being an off-camera asshole. Thank you.
557
00:36:51,170 --> 00:36:52,300
You're here pretty late.
558
00:36:52,921 --> 00:36:54,421
I'm here pretty drunk.
559
00:36:55,549 --> 00:36:59,049
Drinking seemed more pressing tonight
for some reason.
560
00:37:01,180 --> 00:37:02,310
I'm gonna go find Geneva.
561
00:37:03,682 --> 00:37:07,942
You know, just... I didn't really
appreciate being left off the Times call.
562
00:37:10,147 --> 00:37:11,567
You weren't needed.
563
00:37:12,441 --> 00:37:13,691
I know what you're doing.
564
00:37:13,775 --> 00:37:15,525
You're waiting
for that article to come out,
565
00:37:15,611 --> 00:37:17,961
and then if it's bad for you,
I don't have a job in the morning.
566
00:37:17,988 --> 00:37:19,358
Am I right?
567
00:37:24,870 --> 00:37:26,080
I guess I'm right.
568
00:37:27,956 --> 00:37:29,916
Sorry, Charlie "Chip" Black.
569
00:37:31,210 --> 00:37:32,250
Are you really?
570
00:37:32,336 --> 00:37:34,046
I think I actually am.
571
00:37:34,963 --> 00:37:38,723
Okay. Well, just so you know,
you're not immune here.
572
00:37:39,426 --> 00:37:42,006
You're just as fucking expendable as I am.
573
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:01,449
Hey, you good?
574
00:38:02,241 --> 00:38:04,991
Please. What, are you
in the 12-step program?
575
00:38:05,077 --> 00:38:10,287
- Wanna make amends to me? Cory.
- No, Alex, now hold on just a minute.
576
00:38:10,374 --> 00:38:15,214
Come on. Let 'em get a picture
of us talking, you know?
577
00:38:16,755 --> 00:38:17,965
Smiling...
578
00:38:20,926 --> 00:38:23,596
Yeah, are you good?
579
00:38:24,721 --> 00:38:27,891
I can't remember the last time
that we actually talked.
580
00:38:28,976 --> 00:38:30,846
What do you... What do you want, Cory?
581
00:38:30,936 --> 00:38:34,226
It was right before you announced Bradley
as your cohost.
582
00:38:34,314 --> 00:38:38,784
- And I was pretty awful to you.
- You were a dick.
583
00:38:38,861 --> 00:38:42,361
Don't worry, I'm not gonna bite.
I just wanted you to hear it from me.
584
00:38:44,032 --> 00:38:46,202
- Okay, and what is that?
- You were right.
585
00:38:48,287 --> 00:38:49,997
Yup, I said it.
586
00:38:51,832 --> 00:38:55,632
You did a good thing.
That Bradley stunt was brilliant.
587
00:38:56,128 --> 00:38:59,968
And I want us to find a way
to work together.
588
00:39:02,259 --> 00:39:05,509
I think you're kind of a crazy genius,
589
00:39:05,596 --> 00:39:09,886
and I like working with crazy geniuses.
590
00:39:16,982 --> 00:39:18,692
Go fuck yourself, Cory.
591
00:39:19,109 --> 00:39:21,649
Save your energy for your next kill.
I'm not biting.
592
00:39:22,279 --> 00:39:24,409
- You don't believe me.
- No.
593
00:39:24,489 --> 00:39:27,199
Oh, Alex.
594
00:39:28,577 --> 00:39:30,327
I'm gonna try a little harder.
595
00:39:38,128 --> 00:39:41,418
Everybody, can I get your attention
for a second, please?
596
00:39:43,342 --> 00:39:49,262
I just want to take a second
to acknowledge our hostess tonight.
597
00:39:49,348 --> 00:39:53,598
Alex, what would we do without you?
To Alex, everyone.
598
00:39:54,770 --> 00:39:58,360
Wow. Thank you.
That's so nice. Thank you.
599
00:39:59,775 --> 00:40:03,235
I dedicate this song to you, Alex Levy.
600
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,160
You make my job so fun.
You're gonna like this one.
601
00:40:06,573 --> 00:40:07,743
What are you doing?
602
00:40:09,159 --> 00:40:12,159
Nothing's gonna harm you
603
00:40:12,663 --> 00:40:15,753
- Not while I'm around
- Oh, good God.
604
00:40:18,168 --> 00:40:21,668
Nothing's gonna harm you No, sir
605
00:40:21,755 --> 00:40:24,465
Not while I'm around
606
00:40:25,968 --> 00:40:30,138
Demons are prowling everywhere
607
00:40:30,222 --> 00:40:33,982
Nowadays
608
00:40:35,018 --> 00:40:39,018
I'll send them howling
I don't care
609
00:40:39,606 --> 00:40:42,356
- I've got ways
- Yes, you do.
610
00:40:44,069 --> 00:40:47,359
- You know this is a duet, Alex Levy.
- God, no. No way.
611
00:40:47,447 --> 00:40:50,327
Come on. You're the musical theater nerd!
You gotta get in there! Go, go!
612
00:40:50,409 --> 00:40:55,539
No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare
613
00:40:58,417 --> 00:41:03,667
Others can desert you
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there
614
00:41:03,755 --> 00:41:05,715
She knows the words, everyone!
615
00:41:06,425 --> 00:41:10,345
Demons will charm you with a smile
616
00:41:10,429 --> 00:41:12,719
For a while
617
00:41:12,806 --> 00:41:17,096
But in time
618
00:41:18,562 --> 00:41:22,522
Nothing can harm you
619
00:41:23,233 --> 00:41:30,243
Not while I'm around
620
00:41:33,785 --> 00:41:36,905
Being close and being clever
621
00:41:36,997 --> 00:41:39,577
Ain't like being true
622
00:41:40,417 --> 00:41:43,797
I don't need to I would never
623
00:41:43,879 --> 00:41:49,969
Hide a thing from you, like some
624
00:41:54,890 --> 00:41:57,230
What the fuck is going on right now?
625
00:41:57,309 --> 00:42:00,809
I don't know, but it's weird
and fascinating, and I'm super into it.
626
00:42:00,896 --> 00:42:03,816
No one's gonna dare
627
00:42:05,692 --> 00:42:07,612
Others can desert you
628
00:42:07,694 --> 00:42:11,534
Not to worry
Whistle, I'll be there
629
00:42:13,492 --> 00:42:17,502
Demons will charm you with a smile
630
00:42:17,579 --> 00:42:19,539
For a while
631
00:42:19,623 --> 00:42:24,043
But in time
632
00:42:25,754 --> 00:42:30,014
Nothing can harm you
633
00:42:30,843 --> 00:42:32,723
Not while
634
00:42:32,803 --> 00:42:39,773
I'm around
635
00:43:01,915 --> 00:43:03,165
Bravo, Alex!
636
00:43:16,096 --> 00:43:17,096
Yeah?
637
00:43:19,808 --> 00:43:22,388
Yes, I absolutely am ready
to give you that quote.
638
00:43:22,477 --> 00:43:24,147
And you'll lose the Friedman quote?
639
00:43:24,563 --> 00:43:28,113
What changed? Fine, fine, don't tell me.
640
00:43:29,151 --> 00:43:31,151
Perfect. You ready?
641
00:43:33,572 --> 00:43:36,242
Alex. Alex, what is going on?
642
00:43:36,325 --> 00:43:38,155
I have to get out of here.
643
00:43:38,243 --> 00:43:40,663
This is your party.
What am I supposed to tell people?
644
00:43:40,746 --> 00:43:43,286
Tell them to wrap it up.
Tell them to stop fucking singing.
645
00:43:43,373 --> 00:43:46,173
- Wait. Did something happen?
- Something happens every five minutes.
646
00:43:46,251 --> 00:43:48,811
I need some air. I cannot be in the same
room with all those people right now.
647
00:43:48,837 --> 00:43:50,937
I'm at a loss here.
How is being out on the street better...
648
00:43:50,964 --> 00:43:53,554
- What the fuck is going on, Alex?
- I'm going to see Mitch!
649
00:43:54,176 --> 00:43:55,176
All right?
650
00:43:55,969 --> 00:43:57,509
I need to talk to him.
651
00:43:57,596 --> 00:43:59,096
He's in the city.
652
00:43:59,181 --> 00:44:02,311
We have a lot going on right now.
And I just want to fucking talk to him.
653
00:44:02,392 --> 00:44:04,312
I want to see my friend.
Is that a fucking crime?
654
00:44:04,353 --> 00:44:06,443
No, no, not a crime.
655
00:44:07,648 --> 00:44:11,438
Then, please, don't turn this
into something that it's not.
656
00:44:12,236 --> 00:44:13,356
I won't.
657
00:44:13,904 --> 00:44:17,744
Go on, off you go. I will lie for you,
and take care of your party.
658
00:44:18,659 --> 00:44:19,829
Thank you.
659
00:44:28,877 --> 00:44:33,417
So, now no one can ever have a fling
with someone sexy they work with?
660
00:44:33,507 --> 00:44:37,927
It isn't that hard to hook up with people
who you don't have to see every day.
661
00:44:38,011 --> 00:44:40,351
With what free time exactly?
662
00:44:40,430 --> 00:44:42,980
Celibacy has its perks.
663
00:44:43,058 --> 00:44:44,178
Like?
664
00:44:44,852 --> 00:44:46,442
I do not know.
665
00:44:47,646 --> 00:44:49,936
Please. What does any of it matter?
666
00:44:50,023 --> 00:44:52,993
Men put their dicks in a bunch of places
they don't belong.
667
00:44:53,068 --> 00:44:55,948
But who amongst us could say
we wouldn't be doing the same
668
00:44:56,029 --> 00:44:57,989
if we were differently equipped?
669
00:44:58,073 --> 00:45:00,783
- Hannah.
- It's what being a man is all about,
670
00:45:00,868 --> 00:45:03,118
and that is never really gonna change,
671
00:45:03,203 --> 00:45:06,793
no matter what lies we tell ourselves,
no matter what stories we do about it.
672
00:45:06,874 --> 00:45:09,174
So... mazel tov!
673
00:45:10,377 --> 00:45:11,997
You're a nihilistic drunk, Hannah.
674
00:45:12,671 --> 00:45:14,801
- Fucking right, babe.
- And I love it!
675
00:45:15,799 --> 00:45:19,219
It would help if the security guard could
keep Mitch out of the fucking building.
676
00:45:19,887 --> 00:45:23,557
It was so sad. His face.
And he remembered about my dog.
677
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,600
No. What was fucking sad
was all the people who tried to pretend
678
00:45:26,685 --> 00:45:29,555
like they didn't know or participate
in what Mitch was doing.
679
00:45:29,646 --> 00:45:31,356
So, it wasn't just Mitch.
680
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,230
Mitch was the only one that was going...
681
00:45:33,317 --> 00:45:35,857
Hold on. Who wants to know?
682
00:45:36,486 --> 00:45:37,486
I'm sorry?
683
00:45:40,199 --> 00:45:44,039
What Rena means is, does Bradley Jackson
the truth teller want to know,
684
00:45:44,119 --> 00:45:48,169
or Bradley Jackson the human being out
for a night of revelry with her coworkers?
685
00:45:49,333 --> 00:45:50,633
Really?
686
00:45:51,502 --> 00:45:53,002
Y'all, I've worked in enough places.
687
00:45:53,086 --> 00:45:55,836
I would be shocked if it was just Mitch.
Shocked.
688
00:45:55,923 --> 00:46:00,473
But not everyone here does live interviews
trying to get to the truth.
689
00:46:00,552 --> 00:46:02,972
Are you saying
I shouldn't have asked her to be honest?
690
00:46:03,055 --> 00:46:07,015
I think some of us just love our jobs,
imperfect though they may be.
691
00:46:08,477 --> 00:46:12,307
Okay, listen. I'm not trying to double
or triple fuck any of y'all.
692
00:46:12,397 --> 00:46:15,397
I am just a witness to history here,
just like the rest of you.
693
00:46:15,484 --> 00:46:18,614
Vive la révolution! Off with his balls.
694
00:46:19,571 --> 00:46:22,991
No offense, Claire, but give it ten years,
see if you feel the same way.
695
00:46:23,075 --> 00:46:26,365
You know,
maybe you have too much perspective
696
00:46:26,453 --> 00:46:30,003
and too many years of being trained
to enable this behavior in men.
697
00:46:30,082 --> 00:46:32,332
- Jesus, Claire.
- What the fuck does that mean?
698
00:46:32,417 --> 00:46:34,797
No, I'm not blaming you,
but I certainly hope
699
00:46:34,878 --> 00:46:37,458
I'd still wanna
cut off Mitch's balls in ten years.
700
00:46:37,548 --> 00:46:39,048
He'll still be a fucking creep.
701
00:46:42,135 --> 00:46:44,425
First of all, how old are you? What, 24?
702
00:46:44,513 --> 00:46:47,433
Actually, why don't you try
giving it 20 years.
703
00:46:47,516 --> 00:46:50,476
And with all due respect,
you've been in your job... 18 months?
704
00:46:50,561 --> 00:46:53,611
What the fuck do you know about this show,
what it's been, what I have seen?
705
00:46:53,689 --> 00:46:56,859
What I have gone through
since I've been on this show.
706
00:46:57,276 --> 00:47:01,236
Okay, with all due respect, you don't have
to have worked here for 20 years
707
00:47:01,321 --> 00:47:03,071
to know that what Mitch did was fucked up.
708
00:47:03,156 --> 00:47:04,446
Okay, let's just...
709
00:47:04,533 --> 00:47:06,243
Obviously, no one is disputing that,
710
00:47:06,326 --> 00:47:09,906
but it's not as black-and-white
as you are stating it.
711
00:47:10,247 --> 00:47:13,537
Right? 'Cause this shit is complicated.
People are complicated.
712
00:47:13,625 --> 00:47:14,915
Mitch was complicated.
713
00:47:17,421 --> 00:47:19,211
And he was a part of this show.
714
00:47:19,298 --> 00:47:20,628
And I care deeply...
715
00:47:24,052 --> 00:47:25,352
for this show.
716
00:47:33,604 --> 00:47:35,524
Okay. Mia, I'm really...
717
00:47:35,606 --> 00:47:37,936
I'm really drunk. I'm sorry.
We're all drunk and...
718
00:47:38,025 --> 00:47:40,935
No, no, no, I'm sorry.
I apologize to all of you, right?
719
00:47:41,028 --> 00:47:44,488
This is hard for me. I feel bad for...
720
00:47:47,618 --> 00:47:50,948
I feel bad 'cause, you know,
that Times article is gonna be...
721
00:47:52,748 --> 00:47:54,418
gonna be hard to come back from.
722
00:47:58,295 --> 00:48:00,125
For us or for Mitch?
723
00:48:07,638 --> 00:48:10,888
You know what? I'm gonna call myself
a Lyft 'cause I need a lift.
724
00:48:11,850 --> 00:48:13,190
I'm sorry, Mia.
725
00:48:13,268 --> 00:48:15,348
No, no, it's fine. It's fine.
726
00:48:16,813 --> 00:48:17,903
Forgive me.
727
00:48:19,149 --> 00:48:20,609
Sorry, sorry.
728
00:48:21,026 --> 00:48:23,566
Happy birthday. Happy birthday.
729
00:48:24,196 --> 00:48:25,196
Thank you.
730
00:48:28,909 --> 00:48:30,989
- Bye, Mia.
- Yes. See you tomorrow.
731
00:48:31,078 --> 00:48:33,328
- Okay. Bye, Mia.
- Okay. Bye. Bye.
732
00:48:36,959 --> 00:48:39,839
I'm really sorry
I said to cut off his balls.
733
00:49:00,399 --> 00:49:02,939
I'm glad you called.
This conversation is scintillating.
734
00:49:04,278 --> 00:49:07,528
God. I was literally just thinking
735
00:49:07,614 --> 00:49:10,664
how nice it is to be so comfortable
with someone
736
00:49:10,742 --> 00:49:13,792
that you can just sit in silence
and not have to talk.
737
00:49:13,871 --> 00:49:16,161
You called the wrong guy.
738
00:49:17,708 --> 00:49:20,338
I've been making
a lot of wrong calls lately.
739
00:49:20,419 --> 00:49:23,129
Yeah. I wanted to ask you about that.
740
00:49:23,213 --> 00:49:25,223
What the fuck is with
this Bradley Jackson person?
741
00:49:25,299 --> 00:49:28,509
- Don't ask.
- What, was that a network move?
742
00:49:28,594 --> 00:49:30,894
That was me. That was a me move.
743
00:49:31,555 --> 00:49:35,805
I sprung that on 'em at that
dumb journalist event the other night.
744
00:49:35,893 --> 00:49:38,273
- It was this...
- No shit. Really?
745
00:49:38,353 --> 00:49:39,353
Yes, I did.
746
00:49:40,147 --> 00:49:42,107
Oh, gosh. And you know what?
747
00:49:42,191 --> 00:49:46,701
Now, there is absolutely no turning back.
Nope.
748
00:49:46,778 --> 00:49:49,358
The wheels really came off your world
when I left, didn't they?
749
00:49:49,448 --> 00:49:51,408
They flew right off. I mean, I don't...
750
00:49:51,491 --> 00:49:53,791
Would you like to hear
my honest opinion on this?
751
00:49:54,828 --> 00:49:55,828
Is that rhetorical?
752
00:49:55,913 --> 00:49:57,963
- Yes, of course it is.
- Of course it is.
753
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,420
She's not gonna last,
and you have to prepare yourself for that.
754
00:50:01,502 --> 00:50:04,212
Because people are so fucking stupid,
755
00:50:04,296 --> 00:50:07,216
they see something that's loud
and in their face, and they're,
756
00:50:07,299 --> 00:50:08,549
"Wow, what's this?"
757
00:50:08,634 --> 00:50:11,614
Then they realize that they don't like
things that are loud and in their face,
758
00:50:11,637 --> 00:50:13,097
and they move on.
759
00:50:13,180 --> 00:50:15,680
So, I suggest that you just
760
00:50:16,099 --> 00:50:19,389
keep your distance,
lest you get chunks of Bradley Jackson
761
00:50:19,478 --> 00:50:21,308
getting in your hair when she implodes.
762
00:50:21,396 --> 00:50:23,766
- Oh, God, lovely.
- Well...
763
00:50:23,857 --> 00:50:26,357
I can see it. Okay, and then what?
764
00:50:26,443 --> 00:50:29,663
Assuming that I'm not covered
in Bradley Jackson remains,
765
00:50:29,738 --> 00:50:31,408
which is a big assumption.
766
00:50:31,490 --> 00:50:33,280
Life goes on, you know?
767
00:50:33,367 --> 00:50:34,907
People continue to watch the show
768
00:50:34,993 --> 00:50:37,413
'cause it helps them digest
the horrors of the world,
769
00:50:37,496 --> 00:50:40,666
and you are gonna come out
smelling like a rose.
770
00:50:40,749 --> 00:50:44,919
They are gonna love you even more
after Bradley Jackson crashes and burns.
771
00:50:45,003 --> 00:50:48,093
And after the debacle, known as "me,"
772
00:50:48,882 --> 00:50:52,592
you're gonna be the wise one,
the solid one, the smart one,
773
00:50:53,011 --> 00:50:54,811
the one that they can count on,
774
00:50:55,222 --> 00:50:57,022
the one who survived it all,
775
00:50:57,516 --> 00:50:59,016
the one who never changed.
776
00:51:06,483 --> 00:51:09,493
And then you'll find a new coanchor,
probably a man.
777
00:51:10,529 --> 00:51:15,159
And as ridiculous as it sounds right now,
probably gonna be a straight, white man,
778
00:51:15,242 --> 00:51:18,412
gonna be handsome,
not too handsome, not intimidatingly so,
779
00:51:18,495 --> 00:51:20,035
just sort of a...
780
00:51:20,122 --> 00:51:22,832
like your best friend's father
you always sort of had a crush on.
781
00:51:22,916 --> 00:51:26,626
And he's gonna be really smart,
and he's gonna be a journalist,
782
00:51:26,712 --> 00:51:32,432
and he's not gonna be one of these
just camera bimbos.
783
00:51:32,509 --> 00:51:35,299
He's gonna have some real depth to him.
784
00:51:35,387 --> 00:51:37,927
And the two of you
are gonna get along great.
785
00:51:38,557 --> 00:51:41,977
And you guys will make each other laugh,
on the air and off the air.
786
00:51:42,060 --> 00:51:44,520
You're not getting your job back.
787
00:51:44,938 --> 00:51:47,318
- Me? I'm not talking about me.
- Never. No.
788
00:51:47,399 --> 00:51:49,399
I'm just talking about this nameless,
other person.
789
00:51:49,484 --> 00:51:53,034
This other person
who lives in a house of fun mirrors.
790
00:51:54,698 --> 00:51:57,198
Oh, really? Don't we all?
791
00:51:57,284 --> 00:51:59,914
Yes, I know. Fair enough.
792
00:52:12,466 --> 00:52:14,086
You miss me.
793
00:52:14,843 --> 00:52:18,103
Admit it. You do. I can tell.
794
00:52:18,180 --> 00:52:19,260
You called me.
795
00:52:20,390 --> 00:52:22,940
Would you just drive
the fucking car, dipshit?
796
00:52:24,019 --> 00:52:25,269
You know what?
797
00:52:25,354 --> 00:52:27,444
I have an idea. We could go out.
798
00:52:27,898 --> 00:52:30,278
Paige is gone. And you're separated.
799
00:52:30,984 --> 00:52:33,154
Oh, my gosh. Mitch, do you hear yourself?
800
00:52:33,237 --> 00:52:34,857
We're unattached.
801
00:52:34,947 --> 00:52:38,867
This is the first time ever that we're
both unattached, so we could do this.
802
00:52:38,951 --> 00:52:42,451
I mean...
Yes, I'm sure it's every girl's dream
803
00:52:42,538 --> 00:52:44,158
to settle down with a sexual predator.
804
00:52:44,248 --> 00:52:48,788
And have... just have two-and-a-half
little predators of her own, and...
805
00:52:49,419 --> 00:52:50,419
Okay.
806
00:52:50,504 --> 00:52:54,474
But I think the world holds me
to a higher standard than that.
807
00:52:54,967 --> 00:52:58,137
Yeah, well, you're right. It does.
808
00:53:06,395 --> 00:53:08,225
There's life after the show, though.
809
00:53:09,773 --> 00:53:13,073
It doesn't sound half bad to me.
I can think of worse things.
810
00:53:25,247 --> 00:53:26,367
Thank you.
811
00:53:29,543 --> 00:53:31,043
I do miss you.
812
00:53:31,628 --> 00:53:33,258
I really miss you, too.
813
00:53:39,219 --> 00:53:40,679
I'm sorry.
814
00:54:16,715 --> 00:54:18,465
Oh, Mitch. The story just dropped.
815
00:54:18,550 --> 00:54:20,010
Oh, shit.
816
00:54:23,889 --> 00:54:24,889
Well, fuck.
817
00:54:28,769 --> 00:54:30,769
Guys. The Times piece. It's out.
818
00:54:30,854 --> 00:54:31,984
Oh, shit.
819
00:54:39,530 --> 00:54:43,780
Oh, my God. The papal conclave?
I think I know who this was.
820
00:54:44,326 --> 00:54:46,696
"The woman said Mr. Kessler asked her
821
00:54:46,787 --> 00:54:50,117
to join him in the gas station bathroom."
Jesus.
822
00:54:51,041 --> 00:54:55,051
"In spite of Bradley Jackson's
explosive interview with Ashley Brown,
823
00:54:55,546 --> 00:54:59,756
no further incidents
of a cover-up climate were reported."
824
00:55:19,403 --> 00:55:20,573
I'll be right back.
825
00:55:36,211 --> 00:55:37,591
Hello?
826
00:55:37,671 --> 00:55:39,591
Hey, Dad?
827
00:55:40,090 --> 00:55:43,390
It's me. It's... Bradley.
828
00:55:45,012 --> 00:55:47,352
I hope it's not a bad time.
829
00:55:49,016 --> 00:55:50,516
Why are you calling me?
830
00:55:50,601 --> 00:55:53,601
Well, that's a good question.
831
00:55:56,481 --> 00:55:59,861
I guess...
I guess it's been a while. I guess...
832
00:56:00,777 --> 00:56:02,737
I wasn't sure you wanted to talk to me.
833
00:56:03,864 --> 00:56:06,534
Yeah. You just wanted to call
and chat after 15 years?
834
00:56:09,995 --> 00:56:11,655
You sound like you're at a bar.
835
00:56:12,372 --> 00:56:13,622
Well, you would know.
836
00:56:16,210 --> 00:56:17,790
All right, I'm sorry.
837
00:56:18,462 --> 00:56:20,922
I'm just... I'm calling you because...
838
00:56:23,509 --> 00:56:28,099
because I was thinking of you.
I'm always thinking of you.
839
00:56:29,973 --> 00:56:32,103
And I've been watching your program.
840
00:56:32,976 --> 00:56:36,186
And maybe it's selfish of me,
but I wanted to call,
841
00:56:37,147 --> 00:56:39,357
and I wanted to tell you how proud,
842
00:56:40,817 --> 00:56:42,317
how very...
843
00:56:45,072 --> 00:56:49,082
How proud, how very proud I am.
844
00:56:49,159 --> 00:56:51,079
I wish your grandmother could see you.
845
00:56:54,206 --> 00:56:59,126
I always knew that you were so smart,
Bradley.
846
00:57:01,046 --> 00:57:02,046
The way you would...
847
00:57:03,340 --> 00:57:06,640
you would debate politics with me
when you were little.
848
00:57:07,511 --> 00:57:09,181
It's not that I'm...
849
00:57:09,263 --> 00:57:14,733
I'm taking credit for
how extraordinary you turned out to be.
850
00:57:16,311 --> 00:57:18,271
No, quite the opposite.
851
00:57:19,690 --> 00:57:25,570
No. Considering where you came from
and how far you've come...
852
00:57:28,532 --> 00:57:30,452
I put you through hell.
853
00:57:35,706 --> 00:57:37,116
Are you still there?
854
00:57:41,420 --> 00:57:43,260
I put you through some hell, too.
855
00:57:45,716 --> 00:57:47,756
You did what you thought you had to do.
856
00:57:52,222 --> 00:57:53,772
I did what I had to do.
857
00:57:55,225 --> 00:57:56,725
Look, you can't call me.
858
00:57:57,769 --> 00:58:00,609
You didn't call Mom, did you?
'Cause you know she's pretty fragile.
859
00:58:02,566 --> 00:58:04,526
No, I've not called her, I'm...
860
00:58:05,569 --> 00:58:07,199
I don't wanna make any trouble.
861
00:58:07,279 --> 00:58:09,199
Well, then don't, okay? I gotta go.
862
00:58:09,281 --> 00:58:11,241
Okay. Good night.
863
00:58:12,534 --> 00:58:13,994
Take care of yourself, kiddo.
864
00:58:17,164 --> 00:58:18,424
I always have.
865
00:58:42,314 --> 00:58:45,534
- Hey.
- Hey. Can I get a drink?
866
00:58:48,195 --> 00:58:49,655
It's on the house.
867
00:58:54,451 --> 00:58:56,701
- One more?
- Yeah. Just keep it coming.
868
00:58:56,787 --> 00:58:58,247
- All right.
- What's your name?
869
00:58:58,330 --> 00:59:00,040
- It's Andrew.
- Andrew.
870
00:59:00,123 --> 00:59:02,293
- Yeah. What's your name?
- I'm Bradley.
871
00:59:02,376 --> 00:59:03,846
- Actually, I've run your card...
- Oh, yeah?
872
00:59:03,877 --> 00:59:05,117
Which I still have, by the way.
873
00:59:27,234 --> 00:59:28,994
Okay. All right.
874
00:59:32,364 --> 00:59:33,874
- I gotta go.
- You gotta what?
875
00:59:33,949 --> 00:59:36,869
- Yeah.
- You gotta be kidding me.
876
00:59:47,337 --> 00:59:50,087
That... fucking asshole.
877
00:59:58,182 --> 01:00:00,522
I... I really... I need to go home.
878
01:00:00,601 --> 01:00:03,101
Come on, Alex.
You knew all about this stuff.
879
01:00:03,187 --> 01:00:05,227
I knew it, yeah.
880
01:00:06,732 --> 01:00:10,192
I knew about it in theory,
but just reading this
881
01:00:10,277 --> 01:00:12,357
just felt really, really different.
882
01:00:12,446 --> 01:00:14,486
- Can you just please...
- Okay. Okay.
883
01:00:14,573 --> 01:00:16,583
I need to go home, Mitch. Please.
884
01:00:17,075 --> 01:00:18,485
- Okay.
- Okay.
885
01:00:23,749 --> 01:00:24,749
Okay.
886
01:01:08,669 --> 01:01:10,519
I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson.
I can't give you his room number.
887
01:01:10,546 --> 01:01:12,706
Yes, you can. I live here. He lives here.
888
01:01:12,798 --> 01:01:14,568
He's my neighbor.
I have a right to know his address.
889
01:01:14,591 --> 01:01:17,511
No one is disputing he stays here.
I just can't give you his room number.
890
01:01:17,594 --> 01:01:19,574
Then just call him
and tell him that I'm down here.
891
01:01:19,596 --> 01:01:21,366
I'm not gonna call
'cause I know he's not up there.
892
01:01:21,390 --> 01:01:22,930
- Why do you keep saying...
- Bradley.
893
01:01:23,016 --> 01:01:25,346
- So sorry I'm late.
- Cory.
894
01:01:25,435 --> 01:01:28,435
I told him I knew you,
but he wasn't listening.
895
01:01:28,522 --> 01:01:30,482
Yeah, my apologies.
Come with me, all right?
896
01:01:30,566 --> 01:01:31,726
- So rude.
- It's okay.
897
01:01:31,817 --> 01:01:34,237
Don't worry about that guy.
He's just doing...
898
01:01:34,319 --> 01:01:35,779
I'm glad I found you.
899
01:01:35,863 --> 01:01:39,243
I'm hearing, from that conversation,
that you're living here now, huh?
900
01:01:39,324 --> 01:01:42,494
- Yeah. They moved me here.
- All right. What room are you in?
901
01:01:42,578 --> 01:01:43,828
I live upstairs.
902
01:01:45,706 --> 01:01:46,746
Okay.
903
01:01:47,374 --> 01:01:49,134
You wanna tell me what happened?
904
01:01:50,586 --> 01:01:52,206
- No. I don't know.
- All right.
905
01:01:52,296 --> 01:01:55,966
I do know. I did something
really fucking stupid.
906
01:01:56,049 --> 01:01:57,629
It's okay. Here. Hold on.
907
01:01:57,718 --> 01:02:01,808
- I fucked this bartender.
- Okay, well...
908
01:02:01,889 --> 01:02:03,769
And I'm not sorry that I fucked him.
909
01:02:03,849 --> 01:02:06,389
I'm just worried because,
910
01:02:06,476 --> 01:02:08,556
I don't know,
I guess I'm famous now or something,
911
01:02:08,645 --> 01:02:09,855
I don't know.
912
01:02:09,938 --> 01:02:13,648
I'm so...
I just don't know what I'm doing.
913
01:02:13,734 --> 01:02:16,364
No, no. Hey. Hey. It's okay. Come here.
914
01:02:16,445 --> 01:02:17,445
Lean on me.
915
01:02:18,238 --> 01:02:19,738
It's all right. I gotcha.
916
01:02:20,616 --> 01:02:23,736
- Don't you worry, okay?
- I'm just embarrassed.
917
01:02:23,827 --> 01:02:27,367
Don't be. I got you. It's gonna be okay.
918
01:02:48,685 --> 01:02:51,145
- Yes?
- Hey, yeah, Fred. It's Mitch.
919
01:02:51,230 --> 01:02:53,230
"Fred Micklen told the Times,
920
01:02:53,315 --> 01:02:56,025
'He came to the studio
in an emotional state.
921
01:02:56,109 --> 01:02:57,569
He had to be escorted out.
922
01:02:57,653 --> 01:03:01,323
It's painful to watch,
but his own actions brought him to this.
923
01:03:01,406 --> 01:03:03,986
He's done. He'll never work again.'"
924
01:03:06,912 --> 01:03:09,922
If I'm going down,
you are going down with me.
