1
00:02:06,877 --> 00:02:09,917
You ever wonder
why they call it that? El Niño.
2
00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:15,890
It starts with something so small
and so insignificant: an anchovy.
3
00:02:16,386 --> 00:02:19,346
See, the anchovy,
it prospers most in temperate waters.
4
00:02:19,431 --> 00:02:23,311
So when equatorial trade winds,
when they brought cold water westward,
5
00:02:23,393 --> 00:02:26,653
it slowly broiled under the beating sun.
6
00:02:26,730 --> 00:02:31,070
And by the time it reached Chimbote, Peru,
which is the anchovy capital of the world,
7
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:35,361
the warming waters were completely
uninhabitable for the anchovy.
8
00:02:35,447 --> 00:02:36,737
That's so sad.
9
00:02:37,950 --> 00:02:39,280
Oh, no. Gets worse.
10
00:02:39,368 --> 00:02:40,488
The economy suffered.
11
00:02:40,577 --> 00:02:42,747
I mean, everything suffered,
not just the fish.
12
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:45,749
The aquatic seabirds
that fed on the anchovies,
13
00:02:45,832 --> 00:02:49,592
from the gannets to the cormorants
to the pelicans, they all died.
14
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:51,670
And then so did
the animals that fed on them.
15
00:02:52,381 --> 00:02:56,801
And because this phenomenon would,
without fail,
16
00:02:56,885 --> 00:03:00,255
coincide with the celebration
of the birth of Christ,
17
00:03:00,347 --> 00:03:04,427
they called it El Niño de Navidad.
"The Christmas Boy."
18
00:03:06,311 --> 00:03:09,021
Come on.
You gotta hand it to the Peruvians.
19
00:03:09,106 --> 00:03:15,106
I mean, something so destructive in such
harmless packaging. "El Niño de Navidad."
20
00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:18,365
I mean, this thing
that seems so insignificant,
21
00:03:18,448 --> 00:03:22,948
winds that make the water too hot
for this tiny little fish to live, but no.
22
00:03:23,370 --> 00:03:27,920
It's a harbinger of something
that throws everything out of whack.
23
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,960
I mean, droughts, floods, storms.
I mean, huge global events.
24
00:03:32,629 --> 00:03:35,629
But there's nothing you can do
to stop the wind from blowing.
25
00:03:36,508 --> 00:03:40,928
So what can you do when you see all these
little anchovies belly up in the water?
26
00:03:43,473 --> 00:03:47,103
You just keep on moving.
And you brace yourself for the shitstorm.
27
00:03:49,521 --> 00:03:51,731
Come on, pal! Hurry up!
28
00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:56,067
Hello, everyone. Come on in.
29
00:03:57,529 --> 00:03:58,739
Thank you for coming.
30
00:03:59,781 --> 00:04:02,371
I ordered some food. Hope you like Thai.
31
00:04:21,094 --> 00:04:22,224
Alex Levy.
32
00:04:23,305 --> 00:04:25,465
Marlon. Nice to meet you.
33
00:04:25,557 --> 00:04:27,177
I'm honored. Truly.
34
00:04:27,643 --> 00:04:29,483
Oh, that's nice.
35
00:04:29,561 --> 00:04:31,411
Meeting you to discuss
taking over The Morning Show
36
00:04:31,438 --> 00:04:33,018
is the highlight of my career.
37
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:34,476
Well, you're too kind.
38
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:36,070
Please, come on in.
39
00:04:36,485 --> 00:04:38,195
It's an amazing place.
40
00:04:38,278 --> 00:04:41,618
It's all part of the same bullshit.
Fred knew.
41
00:04:41,698 --> 00:04:44,488
We would drink together
and play golf and hang out
42
00:04:44,576 --> 00:04:47,116
and just reveal
the most personal aspects of our lives,
43
00:04:47,204 --> 00:04:48,624
and he fucking knew everything.
44
00:04:48,705 --> 00:04:51,495
Look, we know that he knew,
but we're talking about proof here, okay?
45
00:04:51,583 --> 00:04:53,343
You said you had evidence,
46
00:04:53,418 --> 00:04:56,338
someone who could corroborate
Fred's direct complicity.
47
00:04:57,172 --> 00:04:59,512
So here we are. We're listening.
48
00:04:59,883 --> 00:05:01,473
What, who is it?
49
00:05:05,764 --> 00:05:06,774
Hannah.
50
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:09,690
Shoenfeld?
51
00:05:09,768 --> 00:05:11,898
Fuck, Mitch. When did you sleep with her?
52
00:05:13,105 --> 00:05:14,305
In Vegas.
53
00:05:16,275 --> 00:05:18,065
- Did you know about this?
- No.
54
00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:20,571
No, not explicitly.
55
00:05:20,654 --> 00:05:24,204
I mean, look, Fred, he pushed me
to promote her and to fucking fire Jared,
56
00:05:24,283 --> 00:05:26,203
which I thought was a little odd,
but I didn't...
57
00:05:26,285 --> 00:05:28,785
Didn't want to question it
'cause that's hard to do, right?
58
00:05:28,871 --> 00:05:30,541
Why don't you go fuck yourself, Mitch?
59
00:05:30,622 --> 00:05:32,892
We're not talking about any of this
if it wasn't for fucking you.
60
00:05:32,916 --> 00:05:34,076
Let's take a time-out here.
61
00:05:34,168 --> 00:05:36,248
Chip, let's keep
our eyes on the prize, please.
62
00:05:36,712 --> 00:05:39,172
I understand you worked
with Charlie a long time.
63
00:05:39,798 --> 00:05:42,718
And I want you to know
I think he's a great guy.
64
00:05:43,135 --> 00:05:46,135
I have a lot of respect for him. I do.
65
00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:48,927
But here's what I think, Alex.
66
00:05:49,683 --> 00:05:51,983
Sometimes people outgrow each other.
67
00:05:52,352 --> 00:05:55,612
You can stop seeing someone clearly
when you're with them for too long.
68
00:05:55,689 --> 00:05:58,189
And I'm seeing you
pretty clearly right now.
69
00:05:58,275 --> 00:06:02,645
And I think The Morning Show
needs to show America a new Alex Levy.
70
00:06:02,738 --> 00:06:04,408
Alex Levy 2.0.
71
00:06:07,284 --> 00:06:12,834
I thought that maybe what had happened
between us was just human, but it wasn't.
72
00:06:13,498 --> 00:06:15,378
I didn't realize she was working me.
73
00:06:15,459 --> 00:06:17,879
You're a real victim, Mitch. Yeah.
74
00:06:17,961 --> 00:06:22,131
Does she know anything about this,
or that I'm the one who's doing it?
75
00:06:22,216 --> 00:06:24,046
I only said someone
was doing a piece on it.
76
00:06:24,134 --> 00:06:27,354
All right.
You guys, this is not ready for air.
77
00:06:27,763 --> 00:06:30,563
This is too delicate
and too important to rush it.
78
00:06:30,641 --> 00:06:33,141
No. There's no rush. We're ready.
79
00:06:33,227 --> 00:06:36,387
- We got these fuckers dead to rights.
- Mitch, this is my interview, not yours.
80
00:06:37,689 --> 00:06:38,899
Listen. We have no idea
81
00:06:38,982 --> 00:06:43,152
when they're gonna fucking drop
this internal investigation bullshit,
82
00:06:43,237 --> 00:06:47,157
but when they do, I'm done.
I'll never work again.
83
00:06:47,241 --> 00:06:50,951
Chip is right about this.
This has to happen as soon as possible.
84
00:06:51,036 --> 00:06:52,746
There are four of us
in this room right now
85
00:06:52,829 --> 00:06:57,789
who all know about this super-top-secret
plan to take over the airwaves
86
00:06:57,876 --> 00:07:00,706
of one of the four major networks
during its most profitable show.
87
00:07:00,796 --> 00:07:02,596
And you did tell Alex
that you met with Mitch,
88
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,151
- I know.
- So she knows and she isn't happy.
89
00:07:04,174 --> 00:07:06,434
So with every day that goes by,
90
00:07:06,510 --> 00:07:09,760
the odds that somebody else
is gonna find out about this increase.
91
00:07:09,847 --> 00:07:13,557
So this has to happen now
or it's not gonna happen at all,
92
00:07:13,642 --> 00:07:15,942
and we'll all end up
in the gulags for our trouble.
93
00:07:16,019 --> 00:07:19,479
But I have to talk to Hannah.
None of this lands without her story.
94
00:07:20,023 --> 00:07:23,193
So unless I get to a place with her
that we need to be at,
95
00:07:23,652 --> 00:07:24,902
it's not happening.
96
00:07:26,029 --> 00:07:27,109
Period.
97
00:07:27,197 --> 00:07:29,027
- Maggie.
- Hey, Fred.
98
00:07:29,116 --> 00:07:30,276
So good to see you.
99
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,910
Thank you for taking time to meet with me.
100
00:07:33,996 --> 00:07:35,496
Always. What do you want?
101
00:07:35,581 --> 00:07:37,541
- I'll have a vodka tonic, please.
- Okay.
102
00:07:37,624 --> 00:07:39,084
- Scotch and soda.
- Thank you.
103
00:07:39,168 --> 00:07:41,458
I always have time for you. You know that.
104
00:07:42,546 --> 00:07:45,666
You know, I've been worried about you.
I heard you got evacuated.
105
00:07:45,757 --> 00:07:47,077
Did you come through it all okay?
106
00:07:47,134 --> 00:07:48,724
Yes. Yeah, thank God.
107
00:07:48,802 --> 00:07:51,312
Although I got some heat from my neighbors
108
00:07:51,388 --> 00:07:55,848
about a piece that TMS ran on hired
firefighters in wealthy neighborhoods.
109
00:07:57,269 --> 00:08:00,189
I saw that piece.
I'm impressed you didn't try to stop it.
110
00:08:00,272 --> 00:08:01,822
It's very self-aware of you.
111
00:08:01,899 --> 00:08:05,029
News is news.
I'm here to help deliver it, not stop it.
112
00:08:07,779 --> 00:08:09,489
I'm glad you feel that way.
113
00:08:12,201 --> 00:08:14,241
Feels like there's more to that thought.
114
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:21,128
I'm down the road
on an investigative piece
115
00:08:21,210 --> 00:08:24,130
looking into the upper levels of UBA.
116
00:08:30,052 --> 00:08:31,432
Really, Maggie?
117
00:08:31,512 --> 00:08:32,932
I'm sorry, Fred.
118
00:08:34,556 --> 00:08:38,226
Off the record.
You're stabbing me in the back?
119
00:08:39,061 --> 00:08:40,441
You of all people?
120
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,770
My goal is not to stab you at all.
121
00:08:43,524 --> 00:08:46,904
But if I do,
I don't want it to be in the back,
122
00:08:46,985 --> 00:08:48,815
and I don't want it to be a surprise.
123
00:08:49,321 --> 00:08:51,661
Maggie, haven't I done enough for you?
124
00:08:51,740 --> 00:08:53,580
I always had your back,
always supported you.
125
00:08:53,909 --> 00:08:56,449
And I've always supported you, Fred.
Always.
126
00:08:57,496 --> 00:08:59,706
Look, if it's not me,
it's gonna be somebody else.
127
00:09:00,290 --> 00:09:04,090
A 30-billion-dollar
media conglomerate in distress
128
00:09:04,169 --> 00:09:07,629
over its handling of sexual misconduct?
129
00:09:09,967 --> 00:09:12,927
These stories don't stay buried anymore.
130
00:09:14,638 --> 00:09:17,558
I threw it away over a dozen times.
131
00:09:17,975 --> 00:09:21,475
But it always found its way back
to the foot of my bed,
132
00:09:21,562 --> 00:09:24,692
a little bit riper each time.
133
00:09:30,028 --> 00:09:32,028
At least you know
I'll be giving you a fair shake.
134
00:09:32,114 --> 00:09:33,914
I'm not interested in your fair shake.
135
00:09:33,991 --> 00:09:35,701
I'm interested in you doing right by me.
136
00:09:35,784 --> 00:09:37,794
Hey. I'm writing the piece, Fred.
137
00:09:38,370 --> 00:09:40,690
Whether it's good for you or bad for you,
I don't know yet.
138
00:09:41,790 --> 00:09:44,250
But there's nothing
you can do about it either way.
139
00:09:44,751 --> 00:09:46,341
History's already been written.
140
00:09:46,753 --> 00:09:49,173
All that remains
is to commit it to the page.
141
00:09:54,887 --> 00:09:56,137
I'll be in touch.
142
00:09:57,431 --> 00:09:58,431
Take care, Fred.
143
00:10:13,989 --> 00:10:16,029
Jesus, Vicki. How did you miss it?
144
00:10:16,116 --> 00:10:18,946
Maggie Brener, for fuck's sake,
is doing this story.
145
00:10:19,036 --> 00:10:20,116
Yeah, um, I'm at the...
146
00:10:20,204 --> 00:10:23,544
It doesn't fucking matter.
Just wrap up your little investigation.
147
00:10:23,624 --> 00:10:25,584
Deliver your findings to me
by Tuesday morning.
148
00:10:25,667 --> 00:10:26,667
Yes, absolutely.
149
00:10:26,752 --> 00:10:28,842
That gives you a day and a half
to write something
150
00:10:28,921 --> 00:10:31,011
I could've written for you
on day fucking one.
151
00:10:46,563 --> 00:10:47,563
ALEX LEVY
152
00:10:47,648 --> 00:10:48,708
I can't really get that anymore.
153
00:10:48,732 --> 00:10:49,752
- Hey, hi. Good morning.
- Hi.
154
00:10:49,775 --> 00:10:53,145
Isabella made some calls to The Rock's
people about promoting the new movie.
155
00:10:53,237 --> 00:10:54,957
Yeah.
He'd like to get on the phone with you
156
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:57,530
and just talk to you about
a few things he wants to bring up.
157
00:10:57,616 --> 00:10:58,826
What?
158
00:10:58,909 --> 00:11:01,619
Okay. Yes. I just need a minute.
159
00:11:01,703 --> 00:11:04,293
Will you just give me a minute?
I'll be right there.
160
00:11:05,165 --> 00:11:06,625
BRADLEY JACKSON
161
00:11:06,708 --> 00:11:07,788
Hello.
162
00:11:09,127 --> 00:11:10,127
Alex.
163
00:11:11,713 --> 00:11:12,843
Just wanted to...
164
00:11:14,049 --> 00:11:17,089
check in and see how you're doing.
165
00:11:20,138 --> 00:11:22,388
- I have no answer for that.
- Really?
166
00:11:22,724 --> 00:11:26,024
That's the question that's gonna foil
your never-ending quest for truth?
167
00:11:31,066 --> 00:11:32,606
I'll see you out there.
168
00:11:36,405 --> 00:11:37,405
God.
169
00:11:38,532 --> 00:11:40,332
- Sorry. Hi.
- Sorry. Hey.
170
00:11:40,409 --> 00:11:43,249
- Did you have a good weekend? It was fun?
- Yeah. Same. You? Good?
171
00:11:43,328 --> 00:11:45,138
- Yeah, same stuff, yeah. It's good.
- See you later.
172
00:11:45,163 --> 00:11:46,723
- I've got Cory for you.
- I gotta call him back.
173
00:11:46,748 --> 00:11:48,708
Bye. I gotta give these to Joel, so...
174
00:11:54,798 --> 00:11:56,128
- Joel.
- Yeah?
175
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,260
Oh, perfect. Thanks.
176
00:11:58,343 --> 00:12:00,803
- This is for today, right?
- Yeah.
177
00:12:00,888 --> 00:12:02,648
I was thinking
this would work well tomorrow.
178
00:12:02,723 --> 00:12:05,143
Can we just get through today
before we worry about tomorrow?
179
00:12:05,225 --> 00:12:06,225
Okay.
180
00:12:18,488 --> 00:12:19,618
Hannah Shoenfeld.
181
00:12:19,698 --> 00:12:23,578
Hi there. This is Derek Colby.
I'm the EP of UBA 365.
182
00:12:24,578 --> 00:12:25,618
Oh, hi.
183
00:12:25,704 --> 00:12:27,924
I know you're busy,
so I'm gonna get right to it.
184
00:12:27,998 --> 00:12:32,458
We have a producer leaving, and UBA HR
is recommending you for the job.
185
00:12:33,170 --> 00:12:36,590
Now, we work out of LA,
so obviously you would need to move,
186
00:12:36,673 --> 00:12:38,473
but we're very excited to meet you.
187
00:12:38,967 --> 00:12:42,097
This is an upper-level position.
It's an exciting opportunity.
188
00:12:43,555 --> 00:12:46,175
Wow. Thank you so much for considering me.
189
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:49,480
I'm in the middle of something.
Can I call you back?
190
00:12:49,561 --> 00:12:50,561
Yeah, yeah. Of course.
191
00:12:50,646 --> 00:12:53,226
My assistant is gonna e-mail you
my contact info,
192
00:12:53,315 --> 00:12:54,895
- so let's talk soon, okay?
- Okay.
193
00:12:59,404 --> 00:13:00,414
Hannah.
194
00:13:10,457 --> 00:13:12,377
And then we go...
195
00:13:15,045 --> 00:13:18,005
- So we're pushing up the hazing tragedy.
- Okay.
196
00:13:18,090 --> 00:13:19,470
- Hey.
- Thank you so much.
197
00:13:20,342 --> 00:13:23,052
So the last thing
is the cooking segment with Emeril.
198
00:13:23,136 --> 00:13:25,096
Oh, what's he cooking?
199
00:13:25,973 --> 00:13:27,353
Oh, geez. Let's see...
200
00:13:27,432 --> 00:13:29,182
Can you excuse me just a second?
201
00:13:29,601 --> 00:13:31,271
- Hannah...
- Okay.
202
00:13:31,353 --> 00:13:33,023
Can I talk to you maybe after the show?
203
00:13:33,105 --> 00:13:34,895
I just wanna run something past you.
204
00:13:35,357 --> 00:13:37,567
- Yeah, sure.
- Okay, great.
205
00:13:37,651 --> 00:13:38,991
In my dressing room?
206
00:13:39,736 --> 00:13:41,486
- Okay.
- All right.
207
00:13:44,199 --> 00:13:47,039
- Anything up?
- Oh, no. Just something personal.
208
00:13:47,119 --> 00:13:49,119
But you were
saying something about Emeril?
209
00:13:49,204 --> 00:13:50,214
He's making carbonara.
210
00:13:50,289 --> 00:13:52,669
- Great. The carbonara.
- Have a great show.
211
00:13:52,749 --> 00:13:54,629
- Bradley.
- Hi, Alison.
212
00:13:56,128 --> 00:13:57,958
- Hi, Daniel.
- Hey there.
213
00:13:58,755 --> 00:13:59,835
How you feeling?
214
00:13:59,923 --> 00:14:02,093
Me? Never better.
215
00:14:02,509 --> 00:14:03,639
Same here.
216
00:14:04,386 --> 00:14:06,386
We're live in 30 seconds.
217
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,141
- You okay?
- Yeah.
218
00:14:08,223 --> 00:14:10,433
- You need water?
- No. I'm good. Okay.
219
00:14:11,226 --> 00:14:13,146
- Does she know?
- Soon.
220
00:14:17,482 --> 00:14:19,652
Okay, we're live in ten seconds.
221
00:14:20,652 --> 00:14:21,782
I revised your copy.
222
00:14:21,862 --> 00:14:22,862
- Thank you, dear.
- Yeah.
223
00:14:22,946 --> 00:14:24,276
Okay, people. Clear.
224
00:14:25,616 --> 00:14:26,656
Quiet, please.
225
00:14:30,996 --> 00:14:35,376
And in five, four, three, two...
226
00:14:40,797 --> 00:14:42,377
{\an8}Good morning, everyone.
227
00:14:42,466 --> 00:14:43,756
{\an8}So glad you could join us.
228
00:14:43,842 --> 00:14:46,092
{\an8}And here's our top stories
for this morning.
229
00:14:46,929 --> 00:14:47,929
Yeah.
230
00:14:49,806 --> 00:14:52,176
- Is now a good time?
- Hey. Yeah. Come on in.
231
00:14:55,229 --> 00:14:56,229
Is anything wrong?
232
00:14:56,605 --> 00:14:59,105
- No. Do you wanna have a seat?
- Sure.
233
00:14:59,191 --> 00:15:02,491
I just wanted to
talk to you about something.
234
00:15:04,112 --> 00:15:05,112
What?
235
00:15:06,114 --> 00:15:10,954
So, I'm working on an interview...
with Mitch.
236
00:15:11,828 --> 00:15:15,918
And it's about the culture
at this network that...
237
00:15:17,084 --> 00:15:20,254
allowed his sexual misconduct
to go unaddressed for so long.
238
00:15:20,963 --> 00:15:22,053
Wait.
239
00:15:22,798 --> 00:15:26,838
You mean this interview
is happening on this show?
240
00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:29,428
You're doing it?
241
00:15:29,513 --> 00:15:32,603
Well, first of all, none of this
is happening without your consent.
242
00:15:32,683 --> 00:15:33,853
I want you to know that.
243
00:15:33,934 --> 00:15:35,564
And now you're talking to Mitch.
244
00:15:36,687 --> 00:15:37,687
Yes.
245
00:15:37,771 --> 00:15:40,121
And you're all having conversations
about me behind my back?
246
00:15:40,148 --> 00:15:43,068
No. It is not all of us. It's only me.
247
00:15:43,151 --> 00:15:44,781
You can't use my name.
248
00:15:44,862 --> 00:15:47,242
Well, I would make sure
that you were kept anonymous.
249
00:15:47,322 --> 00:15:49,492
Something's happening.
250
00:15:49,575 --> 00:15:51,285
First, Mitch comes to me.
251
00:15:51,368 --> 00:15:54,118
Then Maggie Brener magically
got my number...
252
00:15:54,204 --> 00:15:55,624
- What?
- And wants to talk to me.
253
00:15:55,706 --> 00:16:00,286
And someone from UBA 365 all
of a sudden is offering me a job in LA.
254
00:16:00,377 --> 00:16:01,627
Can I tell you the truth?
255
00:16:01,712 --> 00:16:04,112
I'd like to get the fuck out of here,
leave all this behind me.
256
00:16:04,131 --> 00:16:07,681
Wait. UBA is offering to move you
and promote you? Holy shit!
257
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:12,219
Yes! I'm telling you, there's a hurricane
swirling around me, and I don't know why.
258
00:16:12,306 --> 00:16:15,176
Why now?
But I don't like it, and I don't want it.
259
00:16:15,267 --> 00:16:16,477
I don't want any part of it.
260
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,100
Look. Hannah, I understand.
I would feel the exact same way.
261
00:16:19,188 --> 00:16:21,688
But UBA is trying to silence you here.
262
00:16:21,773 --> 00:16:23,903
And we have the opportunity
to change that.
263
00:16:23,984 --> 00:16:26,614
You know what? That's not my fucking job.
264
00:16:27,112 --> 00:16:30,322
My life is not a tool to service
your agenda on your schedule.
265
00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:34,409
Maybe you're comfortable
stabbing people in the back, but I'm not.
266
00:16:34,494 --> 00:16:36,374
I just wanna fucking live my life.
267
00:16:36,788 --> 00:16:40,038
I don't wanna be the poster child
for your cause. Leave me out of it.
268
00:16:46,298 --> 00:16:47,508
Charlie Black's office.
269
00:16:47,925 --> 00:16:49,835
Fred wants to meet Chip at 4:00 p.m.
270
00:16:53,055 --> 00:16:55,885
He's got something at 4:00.
Can we do it another time?
271
00:16:55,974 --> 00:16:58,274
Rena,
I think what Fred wants to meet about
272
00:16:58,352 --> 00:17:00,272
is going to be
clearing up his schedule.
273
00:17:02,356 --> 00:17:03,606
I'm sorry.
274
00:17:06,443 --> 00:17:07,943
Come on, Chip. It wasn't that bad.
275
00:17:08,028 --> 00:17:09,508
Really? You think that wasn't sloppy?
276
00:17:09,570 --> 00:17:11,450
Then we got a real fucking problem. Okay?
277
00:17:11,531 --> 00:17:13,801
'Cause I'm gonna notice this shit
when this happens next time.
278
00:17:13,825 --> 00:17:17,655
And everybody else is gonna notice, and we
are not gonna be the fucking sloppy show.
279
00:17:17,746 --> 00:17:19,116
And who the fuck took my coffee?
280
00:17:19,205 --> 00:17:20,955
And why are you hovering?
281
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,500
What? What?
282
00:17:23,377 --> 00:17:25,047
Meeting at 4:00 with Fred.
283
00:17:27,214 --> 00:17:28,264
Okay.
284
00:17:29,550 --> 00:17:30,590
Okay.
285
00:17:35,055 --> 00:17:36,675
So, I wanna nip it in the bud...
286
00:17:39,810 --> 00:17:42,440
because you guys are my guys, and I...
287
00:17:44,189 --> 00:17:45,939
You're my unsung heroes,
288
00:17:46,024 --> 00:17:50,204
and that is my fault that you are unsung,
and I'm sorry about that,
289
00:17:50,279 --> 00:17:51,859
but I am not a fucking singer.
290
00:17:52,281 --> 00:17:55,281
And it doesn't mean
that you're not my guys.
291
00:17:55,367 --> 00:17:56,617
Do you know what I'm saying?
292
00:18:04,001 --> 00:18:05,591
Let's say it was an off day.
293
00:18:06,628 --> 00:18:08,628
You know? 'Cause you guys aren't sloppy.
294
00:18:09,339 --> 00:18:10,509
And I'm looking at you, Rich.
295
00:18:10,924 --> 00:18:16,224
I know that you know that the word "pushy"
has an H in it and not two S's.
296
00:18:16,305 --> 00:18:20,055
So, next time, on the teleprompter,
please. Thank you.
297
00:18:22,853 --> 00:18:24,353
I'm sorry I yelled.
298
00:18:26,148 --> 00:18:28,978
I was laughing on the inside.
299
00:18:36,366 --> 00:18:37,736
The thing is, guys...
300
00:18:43,916 --> 00:18:45,286
Well, you got this.
301
00:18:45,959 --> 00:18:47,379
You know? You're my guys.
302
00:18:51,423 --> 00:18:52,423
Thank you.
303
00:19:14,279 --> 00:19:15,989
So, what made you change your mind?
304
00:19:17,699 --> 00:19:19,409
Guilt, I guess.
305
00:19:20,953 --> 00:19:23,833
- Thinking of other people in my position.
- Well, I appreciate it.
306
00:19:24,289 --> 00:19:25,289
Yeah.
307
00:19:25,374 --> 00:19:28,634
Do you mind if I record this?
It's only for me.
308
00:19:29,837 --> 00:19:30,917
I guess.
309
00:19:34,174 --> 00:19:35,184
Okay.
310
00:19:36,218 --> 00:19:37,678
So, what do you wanna know, exactly?
311
00:19:38,554 --> 00:19:43,484
Well, let's start with your experience
with Mitch and the aftermath.
312
00:19:51,483 --> 00:19:53,363
When the Vegas shootings happened,
313
00:19:54,236 --> 00:19:57,946
I was at the studio while they started
putting the team together to go cover it.
314
00:19:59,241 --> 00:20:00,701
Chip told me to go.
315
00:20:01,577 --> 00:20:04,707
I was a junior booker at that point.
I was thrilled.
316
00:20:05,914 --> 00:20:08,634
It was hard.
Tough thing to be in the middle of.
317
00:20:09,418 --> 00:20:15,418
I was getting in a very dark place,
so I went for a walk on the strip.
318
00:20:17,843 --> 00:20:19,053
I ran into Mitch.
319
00:20:21,054 --> 00:20:23,644
He was kind, and he cheered me up.
320
00:20:25,601 --> 00:20:28,561
We walked and talked a while.
321
00:20:29,980 --> 00:20:34,990
It felt very comfortable and familiar.
322
00:20:37,029 --> 00:20:39,659
And it actually distracted me,
323
00:20:40,073 --> 00:20:46,503
'cause I felt really special to be walking
and chatting in public with Mitch Kessler.
324
00:20:48,582 --> 00:20:50,832
Like I really landed on the planet.
325
00:20:55,297 --> 00:20:56,837
It was incredibly special.
326
00:21:07,726 --> 00:21:12,396
He invited me up to his suite
to watch a comedy.
327
00:21:14,233 --> 00:21:16,653
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
328
00:21:18,362 --> 00:21:21,112
Now when I look back,
I don't know what I was thinking.
329
00:21:24,034 --> 00:21:27,454
We watched the movie for a while.
330
00:21:28,455 --> 00:21:33,585
And then I just started thinking about
everything in Vegas...
331
00:21:34,545 --> 00:21:35,915
and my mom.
332
00:21:37,589 --> 00:21:42,219
And I was remembering
so clearly when she died.
333
00:21:43,303 --> 00:21:46,473
Where I was,
what I was wearing, how it felt.
334
00:21:48,851 --> 00:21:51,521
I couldn't stop thinking of it.
335
00:21:54,398 --> 00:21:56,398
Tears started falling out of my face.
336
00:21:56,483 --> 00:21:58,243
I said I should probably go.
337
00:22:00,070 --> 00:22:02,160
Mitch came over and hugged me.
338
00:22:06,410 --> 00:22:07,830
He seemed so kind.
339
00:22:09,496 --> 00:22:11,536
Paternal, really.
340
00:22:14,001 --> 00:22:15,461
I needed some parenting.
341
00:22:17,171 --> 00:22:19,551
I hadn't had any in a long time.
342
00:22:22,634 --> 00:22:26,854
Then he said he liked me and...
343
00:22:27,806 --> 00:22:29,926
put his hand between my legs.
344
00:22:34,104 --> 00:22:36,024
I don't know what happened next.
345
00:22:36,106 --> 00:22:38,526
I was on the bed,
his head was between my legs.
346
00:22:38,609 --> 00:22:40,819
I didn't know what to say.
347
00:22:40,903 --> 00:22:42,913
I figured I'd just do it.
348
00:22:44,823 --> 00:22:46,033
It didn't kill me.
349
00:22:50,204 --> 00:22:53,544
I saw him at work when we got back.
350
00:22:56,627 --> 00:22:58,627
He barely acknowledged me.
351
00:23:01,882 --> 00:23:03,512
I don't know what possessed me.
352
00:23:03,592 --> 00:23:07,892
This is so unlike me.
But I just exploded inside.
353
00:23:09,598 --> 00:23:11,268
This wasn't okay.
354
00:23:13,185 --> 00:23:15,935
I barged into Fred's office,
and I told him.
355
00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:23,150
He offered me a promotion.
356
00:23:25,614 --> 00:23:27,454
Said I'd been doing a great job.
357
00:23:31,578 --> 00:23:34,408
He had no idea who I was.
358
00:23:38,210 --> 00:23:40,340
I'm so sorry you had to relive that.
359
00:23:42,631 --> 00:23:45,801
Like I said, I lived.
But I'm pretty tough.
360
00:23:46,927 --> 00:23:48,007
You are tough.
361
00:23:48,428 --> 00:23:49,428
Strong.
362
00:23:51,807 --> 00:23:54,637
Can you talk a little bit about
how this affected your job,
363
00:23:54,726 --> 00:23:57,056
your self-image, your life?
364
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,480
You don't want too much, do you?
365
00:24:02,568 --> 00:24:05,198
I just don't want this
to happen to other people.
366
00:24:05,863 --> 00:24:08,323
Are you getting any help
processing this, Hannah?
367
00:24:08,407 --> 00:24:11,787
No. No. I don't need any help.
It's done. It's over.
368
00:24:11,869 --> 00:24:12,869
Is it?
369
00:24:14,663 --> 00:24:17,253
What are you getting at?
I'm not Ashley Brown, okay?
370
00:24:17,332 --> 00:24:19,212
I'm not gonna give you some tearful
371
00:24:19,293 --> 00:24:21,463
"I'm so broken" reveal
for your fucking interview.
372
00:24:21,545 --> 00:24:22,705
How am I? I'm fucking fine.
373
00:24:23,130 --> 00:24:24,980
Fucked-up shit happens
to people all day, every day
374
00:24:25,007 --> 00:24:26,357
that they don't know how to deal with.
375
00:24:26,383 --> 00:24:28,473
Why dwell on it? You got what you needed.
376
00:24:28,552 --> 00:24:30,072
You got something on the head
of the network.
377
00:24:30,095 --> 00:24:34,345
I'd just like to accept this new job
before you do this interview, okay?
378
00:24:36,602 --> 00:24:39,442
- I wanna get out of New York.
- I understand, Hannah. Take a breath.
379
00:24:39,521 --> 00:24:41,821
Quit telling me what to do, how to feel!
I'm done.
380
00:24:43,525 --> 00:24:45,895
How do I get you to leave?
What do I have to say?
381
00:24:46,528 --> 00:24:47,738
I was violated?
382
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,490
I was scared?
383
00:24:49,907 --> 00:24:51,197
I was powerless?
384
00:24:51,742 --> 00:24:53,582
That I think about it every day,
385
00:24:54,995 --> 00:24:57,285
hundreds of times every day?
386
00:24:58,498 --> 00:25:03,418
That this is what has defined me,
how I got a promotion, who I am?
387
00:25:04,588 --> 00:25:10,718
How it feels to have someone you love and
respect and look up to on top of you...
388
00:25:11,553 --> 00:25:14,973
using you, using your body...
389
00:25:15,516 --> 00:25:18,686
and wanting you and not caring about you
all at once?
390
00:25:18,769 --> 00:25:21,769
Wanting a parent
and having a cock shoved up you,
391
00:25:22,564 --> 00:25:27,404
and then living with that eternal noise
in your head for the rest of your life,
392
00:25:27,486 --> 00:25:32,316
the noise that says you are dirty,
you caused this, this is your fault.
393
00:25:33,992 --> 00:25:37,372
To see people lose their jobs
and worlds fall apart
394
00:25:37,454 --> 00:25:40,214
because I couldn't find the words
to say no.
395
00:25:40,290 --> 00:25:41,730
- Okay, Hannah...
- Get away from me.
396
00:25:41,792 --> 00:25:45,592
Okay. I'm just...
I'm worried about you.
397
00:25:45,671 --> 00:25:47,421
No. Don't be. Like you said, I'm tough.
398
00:25:48,257 --> 00:25:50,337
Yeah. This was a mistake. I'm sorry.
399
00:25:50,425 --> 00:25:52,135
I don't have to go through with it.
400
00:25:52,219 --> 00:25:55,259
No. No. Do it. It's important.
Do it. Do what I couldn't.
401
00:25:57,015 --> 00:25:58,225
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
402
00:26:01,478 --> 00:26:02,478
Okay.
403
00:26:03,814 --> 00:26:04,864
Look.
404
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:06,980
Please call me anytime.
405
00:26:07,067 --> 00:26:08,737
I'll have my phone right by my bed.
406
00:26:08,819 --> 00:26:10,739
I'm fine. Do what you're gonna do.
407
00:26:14,283 --> 00:26:18,123
You know this wasn't your fault, right?
You know that?
408
00:26:19,538 --> 00:26:24,288
With all due respect, Bradley, please
just take your rhetoric and just fuck off.
409
00:26:57,242 --> 00:26:59,952
How'd you like him?
He's great, right?
410
00:27:02,748 --> 00:27:03,958
Yeah, he's good.
411
00:27:04,917 --> 00:27:08,297
He's good. He sure is passionate.
412
00:27:08,378 --> 00:27:10,338
- And Marlon loves you.
- Oh, yeah.
413
00:27:10,422 --> 00:27:11,542
I mean, he loved you before.
414
00:27:11,590 --> 00:27:14,430
He called me after the meeting.
Said he loved you even more.
415
00:27:14,510 --> 00:27:16,680
Well, that's the passion
I'm talking about.
416
00:27:17,763 --> 00:27:20,973
Listen. Just gotta give me a minute,
all right?
417
00:27:21,058 --> 00:27:25,308
This is gonna take
a little getting used to.
418
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,990
Well, I hope you two hit it off, because
you say the word, and his deal is closing.
419
00:27:33,111 --> 00:27:34,701
Okay. I know, I know. Okay.
420
00:27:36,949 --> 00:27:38,989
Look, I know it's gonna take
some getting used to,
421
00:27:39,076 --> 00:27:42,196
that there will be
a "getting to know you" period.
422
00:27:42,788 --> 00:27:44,458
But Greg will still be your guy.
423
00:27:45,541 --> 00:27:47,231
You'll have the full support
of the network,
424
00:27:47,251 --> 00:27:51,381
including
a huge fucking contract to prove it.
425
00:27:51,463 --> 00:27:54,013
After all the back-and-forth
a couple of weeks ago,
426
00:27:54,091 --> 00:27:58,351
you're even getting
coanchor approval in writing.
427
00:27:59,304 --> 00:28:00,814
Right? You win.
428
00:28:01,807 --> 00:28:03,017
God.
429
00:28:07,229 --> 00:28:08,979
I really just wish I could close my eyes
430
00:28:09,064 --> 00:28:11,174
and blink and the last three weeks
would just go away.
431
00:28:11,191 --> 00:28:13,741
Alex, these pieces
were set in motion years ago.
432
00:28:13,819 --> 00:28:16,819
There's no amount of wishing
or maneuvering that can change that.
433
00:28:16,905 --> 00:28:20,275
Chip made his bed,
and Mitch fucked the whole office in it
434
00:28:20,367 --> 00:28:23,447
while we obliviously
stood outside the bedroom door.
435
00:28:23,537 --> 00:28:24,957
Hey. Listen. Fuck Mitch.
436
00:28:25,664 --> 00:28:30,294
There's gotta be a way that we can
put Chip on an administrative leave.
437
00:28:30,919 --> 00:28:34,879
Hire Marlon temporarily, and then when
this all blows over, we bring Chip back.
438
00:28:34,965 --> 00:28:36,545
No. Absolutely not.
439
00:28:36,633 --> 00:28:38,153
- Absolutely not.
- We have to send a message
440
00:28:38,177 --> 00:28:42,507
that this behavior will not be condoned
at UBA or on The Morning Show.
441
00:28:42,598 --> 00:28:46,518
We have to show that
there are consequences for our actions.
442
00:28:46,602 --> 00:28:50,652
You said it so eloquently, as a woman,
there often aren't enough of them.
443
00:28:50,731 --> 00:28:51,771
How did you say it?
444
00:28:51,857 --> 00:28:54,107
"I am proud to be on a network
445
00:28:54,193 --> 00:28:58,913
and live in a country
that upholds consequences."
446
00:28:59,489 --> 00:29:02,369
You are the truth teller, Alex.
447
00:29:04,036 --> 00:29:06,496
Oh, God. Okay.
448
00:29:10,918 --> 00:29:11,918
Okay.
449
00:29:12,002 --> 00:29:13,632
Wonderful! Done.
450
00:29:14,213 --> 00:29:17,593
And I hope you don't feel so bad
about fucking Bradley Jackson.
451
00:29:17,674 --> 00:29:20,014
I mean, she's getting a hell of a payoff
452
00:29:20,093 --> 00:29:23,683
for a lunatic who put in a couple
of weeks' work trying to kill our brand.
453
00:29:23,764 --> 00:29:25,364
Yeah, okay.
Well, that might be the case,
454
00:29:25,390 --> 00:29:30,060
but whatever happens to that girl for
the rest of her life, that's on me. Okay?
455
00:29:30,145 --> 00:29:33,265
I plucked her out of obscurity,
and I tossed her right into infamy.
456
00:29:34,775 --> 00:29:37,775
- God.
- It's 3:55. Meeting starts at 4:00.
457
00:29:38,237 --> 00:29:39,447
Okay. Thank you.
458
00:29:40,489 --> 00:29:42,449
All right. I gotta go.
459
00:29:43,408 --> 00:29:48,748
I gotta figure out a way to tell Bradley
that Daniel's coming in.
460
00:29:49,164 --> 00:29:50,544
This is all good, Alex.
461
00:29:50,958 --> 00:29:52,168
All of it.
462
00:29:52,251 --> 00:29:55,551
For the show... and for you.
463
00:31:04,072 --> 00:31:05,072
Have a seat.
464
00:31:13,081 --> 00:31:14,081
I'm good.
465
00:31:21,256 --> 00:31:25,386
Stern and Young has returned its
findings in their internal investigation.
466
00:31:27,679 --> 00:31:29,639
Well, don't keep me in suspense.
467
00:31:31,391 --> 00:31:34,811
They found you responsible
for the permissive environment.
468
00:31:34,895 --> 00:31:37,975
There are pages and pages of evidence
that back that up.
469
00:31:38,690 --> 00:31:41,990
Wow. You must've had some pretty good
fiction writers put that together for you.
470
00:31:42,903 --> 00:31:45,863
A little better than the people
who write your prime-time lineup.
471
00:31:45,948 --> 00:31:48,488
Have some decency, Charlie.
This is a serious matter.
472
00:31:48,575 --> 00:31:51,035
It's serious something, Fred. For sure.
473
00:31:52,204 --> 00:31:53,914
You know it gives me no pleasure.
474
00:31:54,331 --> 00:31:58,091
It gives me no pleasure to know
that someone that worked for me for years
475
00:31:58,168 --> 00:32:02,758
exhibited such gross negligence
and endangered my employees.
476
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,170
Are you fucking kidding me?
477
00:32:04,258 --> 00:32:05,618
You better get this over with fast
478
00:32:05,676 --> 00:32:09,176
before I lose it and
drop-kick your ass right on Fifth Avenue.
479
00:32:09,263 --> 00:32:11,603
Have it your way.
You're fired effective immediately.
480
00:32:12,808 --> 00:32:15,768
We're announcing it officially when
the report's released tomorrow morning.
481
00:32:15,978 --> 00:32:17,808
James has a box for your things outside.
482
00:32:17,896 --> 00:32:20,326
Take what you can carry.
The rest we'll have sent to your home.
483
00:32:20,357 --> 00:32:22,727
Great. Is that all?
484
00:32:23,902 --> 00:32:25,202
No, one more thing.
485
00:32:25,279 --> 00:32:28,909
Fuck you for not killing that
private firefighter story like I asked.
486
00:32:29,491 --> 00:32:31,581
That fire came a pussy hair
away from my house.
487
00:32:31,660 --> 00:32:34,120
Yeah, my show bought you
that fucking house,
488
00:32:34,204 --> 00:32:37,214
and I will burn it to the fucking ground
if I feel like it!
489
00:32:45,257 --> 00:32:46,257
Fuck.
490
00:32:54,099 --> 00:32:56,309
- Hey, Bradley.
- Hey, I just talked to Hannah.
491
00:32:56,393 --> 00:32:57,443
It was really hard.
492
00:32:57,519 --> 00:33:00,229
I'm sorry.
Did you get enough for the interview?
493
00:33:00,647 --> 00:33:01,647
Probably, yeah.
494
00:33:02,441 --> 00:33:04,111
Okay, good. We do it tomorrow.
495
00:33:04,193 --> 00:33:06,113
Tomorrow? That's fast.
496
00:33:06,195 --> 00:33:07,985
No. It has to be tomorrow,
early in the show.
497
00:33:12,367 --> 00:33:13,367
Bradley.
498
00:33:14,161 --> 00:33:16,251
Yeah. Okay.
499
00:33:16,330 --> 00:33:19,040
Okay, good.
I'll let Mitch and Cory know it's on.
500
00:33:19,124 --> 00:33:22,094
Okay. I'll let Hannah know.
They offered her a job in LA.
501
00:33:22,169 --> 00:33:24,669
Jesus. They're fucking shameless.
502
00:33:25,339 --> 00:33:27,379
Yeah. I'll start working. Bye.
503
00:33:32,930 --> 00:33:34,260
You've reached Hannah Shoenfeld.
504
00:33:34,348 --> 00:33:36,768
Please leave a message,
and I'll get right back.
505
00:33:36,850 --> 00:33:38,940
Hannah, it's Claire.
506
00:33:39,561 --> 00:33:41,901
Look, I feel awful.
507
00:33:41,980 --> 00:33:45,360
I'm really sorry
that I got so upset with you.
508
00:33:45,442 --> 00:33:48,572
I think that it all
just took me a bit by surprise.
509
00:33:48,654 --> 00:33:51,664
And I know that you were probably
just looking out for me.
510
00:33:52,241 --> 00:33:53,241
Can we talk?
511
00:33:53,909 --> 00:33:55,989
I will not take no for an answer.
512
00:33:56,078 --> 00:33:57,788
If you don't call me back,
513
00:33:57,871 --> 00:34:02,041
I will wait outside your building, and
I'll follow you to work in the morning.
514
00:34:02,459 --> 00:34:04,959
I will stalk you
until you accept my apology.
515
00:34:06,296 --> 00:34:07,506
I'll bring coffee.
516
00:34:09,049 --> 00:34:10,129
Please, Hannah.
517
00:34:11,009 --> 00:34:12,139
I'm really sorry.
518
00:34:13,303 --> 00:34:15,303
Okay, bye.
519
00:34:19,935 --> 00:34:22,935
Are you getting any help
processing any of this, Hannah?
520
00:34:23,021 --> 00:34:26,571
No. No. I don't need any help.
It's done. It's over.
521
00:34:27,150 --> 00:34:28,150
Is it?
522
00:34:28,985 --> 00:34:31,565
What are you getting at?
I'm not Ashley Brown, okay?
523
00:34:31,655 --> 00:34:33,525
I'm not gonna give you some tearful
524
00:34:33,614 --> 00:34:35,834
"I'm so broken" reveal
for your fucking interview.
525
00:34:35,909 --> 00:34:37,369
How am I? I'm fucking fine.
526
00:34:37,452 --> 00:34:39,312
Fucked-up shit happens
to people all day, every day
527
00:34:39,329 --> 00:34:40,599
that they don't know how to deal with.
528
00:34:40,621 --> 00:34:41,621
Why dwell on...
529
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:46,960
- Hey.
- Hey.
530
00:34:47,045 --> 00:34:48,045
Come in.
531
00:34:48,672 --> 00:34:51,092
I'm glad you're here.
I could really use your help.
532
00:34:51,175 --> 00:34:52,375
You wanna have a seat?
533
00:34:52,467 --> 00:34:53,677
Yeah. Thanks.
534
00:34:54,219 --> 00:34:55,849
Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.
535
00:34:55,929 --> 00:34:57,869
I'm getting kinda nervous
that this is actually happening.
536
00:34:57,890 --> 00:34:59,390
Yeah, I get it. It's a nail-biter.
537
00:35:00,809 --> 00:35:04,059
So, look, before we get started,
I have to tell you something.
538
00:35:04,146 --> 00:35:06,476
- What?
- I'm not gonna be there tomorrow.
539
00:35:07,024 --> 00:35:08,754
What are you talking about?
You have to be there.
540
00:35:08,775 --> 00:35:10,235
Bradley, I got fired today.
541
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,990
- When?
- Right before you called.
542
00:35:14,907 --> 00:35:17,547
You're gonna announce the internal
investigation findings on air tomorrow.
543
00:35:17,576 --> 00:35:19,946
Marlon Tate, the new EP,
is gonna start tomorrow.
544
00:35:22,539 --> 00:35:23,619
Okay.
545
00:35:26,001 --> 00:35:27,001
Well, I guess we're done.
546
00:35:27,544 --> 00:35:30,384
No. No, no.
Bradley, this is all still doable.
547
00:35:30,464 --> 00:35:32,054
"Still doable"?
548
00:35:32,674 --> 00:35:34,844
I'm supposed to be sneaking
somebody into the studio,
549
00:35:34,927 --> 00:35:39,097
hijacking a segment without Alex knowing,
and doing that without your help.
550
00:35:39,181 --> 00:35:40,351
How's that doable?
551
00:35:40,432 --> 00:35:42,852
That's what we're gonna figure out.
But you have to do this.
552
00:35:42,935 --> 00:35:46,855
In part because nailing Fred's ass to
the fucking wall is the right thing to do,
553
00:35:46,939 --> 00:35:49,899
and in part because this is gonna blow up
the broadcast tomorrow, okay?
554
00:35:49,983 --> 00:35:52,003
They're gonna have to
pull the plug at a certain point,
555
00:35:52,027 --> 00:35:55,737
and through all of that fallout, those
fucking bullshit investigation findings
556
00:35:55,822 --> 00:35:58,662
- will never get released 'cause...
- That's what this is about for you.
557
00:35:59,117 --> 00:36:00,477
You wanna bury that investigation.
558
00:36:01,245 --> 00:36:03,745
Okay, nobody's motives
are 100% pure, okay?
559
00:36:03,830 --> 00:36:05,790
You know that. Let's be honest, okay?
560
00:36:05,874 --> 00:36:08,104
If you get this right,
you're gonna be an iconic part of history.
561
00:36:08,126 --> 00:36:09,476
That's a huge part
of why you're doing this.
562
00:36:09,503 --> 00:36:12,593
Really? Part of history? Maybe. Maybe not.
563
00:36:12,673 --> 00:36:14,473
But that's definitely
not why I'm doing this.
564
00:36:14,550 --> 00:36:18,390
More likely is I'm just trying to
blow up the only decent job I ever had
565
00:36:18,470 --> 00:36:20,140
because I'm a fucking destructive maniac.
566
00:36:20,222 --> 00:36:22,222
Jesus Christ.
Who fucking gives a shit, okay?
567
00:36:22,307 --> 00:36:23,807
Is it selfish? Is it altruistic?
568
00:36:23,892 --> 00:36:26,162
We'll fucking figure that out
in the old folks home later.
569
00:36:26,186 --> 00:36:30,516
Right now, we have a chance to attach
ourselves to a fucking moral cause, okay?
570
00:36:30,607 --> 00:36:32,107
We have to do this. We have to.
571
00:36:32,192 --> 00:36:35,782
"We." You keep saying "we."
But this is basically me, okay?
572
00:36:35,863 --> 00:36:38,413
You're not there anymore. You got fired.
573
00:36:38,490 --> 00:36:40,680
- I'm the one putting my ass on the line.
- Okay. Just...
574
00:36:40,701 --> 00:36:41,701
That's fucking insane.
575
00:36:41,785 --> 00:36:44,955
It was insane before,
but now it's off-the-chart batshit nuts.
576
00:36:45,038 --> 00:36:47,248
- You get that, right?
- Yes, I hear you.
577
00:36:47,332 --> 00:36:50,712
You want me to do this by myself,
and I'm not even qualified to do this.
578
00:36:50,794 --> 00:36:53,674
I don't even know
how I got this fucking job.
579
00:36:53,755 --> 00:36:55,375
I mean, I certainly didn't earn it.
580
00:36:55,465 --> 00:36:57,685
- And I'm pretending half the fucking time.
- Calm, calm.
581
00:36:57,718 --> 00:37:00,348
And I'm just doing the best I goddamn can,
582
00:37:00,429 --> 00:37:02,739
but I feel like a reality television show
in a goddamn pantsuit.
583
00:37:02,764 --> 00:37:04,284
- It's okay...
- And let me tell you something,
584
00:37:04,308 --> 00:37:07,228
that I dragged this girl into this,
and she's breaking.
585
00:37:07,311 --> 00:37:11,271
She's really suffering,
and Mitch is telling the truth about Fred,
586
00:37:11,356 --> 00:37:12,916
- but nobody cares!
- You need to fuckin' breathe.
587
00:37:12,941 --> 00:37:16,361
Nobody cares that this poor girl
is feeling broken inside!
588
00:37:16,445 --> 00:37:18,025
Hey, Bradley, you need to relax.
589
00:37:18,113 --> 00:37:20,163
God damn it!
Please don't hug me right now.
590
00:37:21,283 --> 00:37:22,913
What the hell is that gonna fix?
591
00:37:26,705 --> 00:37:29,205
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
592
00:37:29,291 --> 00:37:30,631
No, I'm sorry. I...
593
00:37:42,679 --> 00:37:44,059
Can I get one of those?
594
00:37:45,766 --> 00:37:47,306
- Here.
- Thank you.
595
00:38:02,407 --> 00:38:03,907
So, how are we doing this now?
596
00:38:04,326 --> 00:38:07,616
Oh, now that Chip is fired?
597
00:38:08,497 --> 00:38:11,537
Well, leave that to us.
You just show up looking pretty.
598
00:38:12,709 --> 00:38:14,919
Okay.
Thanks for coming over to tell me that.
599
00:38:15,462 --> 00:38:20,222
No. I came by to tell you
not to mess with Bradley.
600
00:38:21,176 --> 00:38:22,506
What are you talking about?
601
00:38:23,512 --> 00:38:28,182
I saw the way that you spoke
about Hannah... playing you.
602
00:38:28,267 --> 00:38:30,937
So, I'm still not confident
that you get it.
603
00:38:31,019 --> 00:38:33,809
So, I'm talking about things including,
but not limited to...
604
00:38:34,606 --> 00:38:37,566
you getting on air and acting like
you're the innocent victim
605
00:38:37,651 --> 00:38:40,491
and making Bradley
seem like she's the enabler.
606
00:38:42,781 --> 00:38:44,581
Well, I gotta get to work then.
607
00:38:44,992 --> 00:38:47,872
I have to figure out a way
to manipulate Bradley tomorrow.
608
00:38:50,455 --> 00:38:54,035
You know, Mitch, if I was you, I might
be thinking of tomorrow's interview
609
00:38:54,126 --> 00:38:57,046
as the beginning of my road to redemption
comeback tour.
610
00:38:57,462 --> 00:39:01,472
And if that is in fact the case, it's time
for you to change your fucking set.
611
00:39:02,551 --> 00:39:05,471
Full disclosure,
I've never been a big fan of your stuff.
612
00:39:05,554 --> 00:39:10,564
It's really more my dad's cup of tea,
and he was a dick, and he's dead.
613
00:39:11,351 --> 00:39:14,561
Truth be told,
when that genre of music comes on,
614
00:39:14,646 --> 00:39:17,936
I gotta change the channel for fear
that I might break the fucking radio.
615
00:39:18,025 --> 00:39:21,105
But you're a smart guy.
A really smart guy.
616
00:39:21,195 --> 00:39:24,355
So, you might
find yourself a new audience.
617
00:39:25,032 --> 00:39:30,622
So, make sure
you don't blow your first show back.
618
00:39:31,663 --> 00:39:33,583
And, if I could extend the metaphor,
619
00:39:33,665 --> 00:39:36,285
if everything goes as planned,
in about three days...
620
00:39:37,127 --> 00:39:40,877
I think I'm gonna be running
some of the biggest concert venues
621
00:39:40,964 --> 00:39:42,174
in God's great Earth,
622
00:39:42,257 --> 00:39:46,177
and I plan on playing the music
that I want to hear.
623
00:39:49,598 --> 00:39:52,558
What the fuck are you talking about?
624
00:39:53,185 --> 00:39:54,805
Tomorrow is your shot.
625
00:39:59,775 --> 00:40:02,945
Confess, or you're done.
626
00:40:38,730 --> 00:40:41,320
Hi, this is Hannah Shoenfeld.
627
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,110
I've been thinking it over,
628
00:40:43,193 --> 00:40:47,743
and I'm actually very interested
in coming to meet you in LA about the job.
629
00:40:48,657 --> 00:40:51,077
Please give me a call back. Thank you.
630
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:13,950
So, look, I wanna ask you to do
one last thing, but it's a thing.
631
00:42:14,576 --> 00:42:15,576
Okay.
632
00:42:17,454 --> 00:42:20,214
I want you to sneak Mitch
into the studio today.
633
00:42:20,290 --> 00:42:23,420
Bradley's gonna interview him live on air.
Alex doesn't know about it.
634
00:42:23,502 --> 00:42:26,762
Oh, my God. You've fucking lost it.
635
00:42:27,172 --> 00:42:28,882
I get why they fired you.
636
00:42:28,966 --> 00:42:31,796
Mitch has evidence that Fred
has been covering up sexual misconduct
637
00:42:31,885 --> 00:42:35,385
at the fucking network level,
and we're gonna expose his ass live.
638
00:42:36,014 --> 00:42:37,024
- Holy shit.
- Yeah.
639
00:42:37,099 --> 00:42:38,559
Look, I'm gonna be honest with you.
640
00:42:38,642 --> 00:42:40,362
You might wanna start
looking for a new job.
641
00:42:40,394 --> 00:42:42,564
I've been looking for a new job for years.
642
00:42:43,647 --> 00:42:45,227
How is this happening?
643
00:42:45,315 --> 00:42:49,355
At 7:40, Alex is gonna rush downstairs
to do the taxi-versus-ride-share segment.
644
00:42:49,444 --> 00:42:51,284
As soon as she gets in that elevator,
645
00:42:51,363 --> 00:42:54,283
you rush down the back stairwell,
open up the loading dock door.
646
00:42:54,366 --> 00:42:56,326
Like when we snuck Jagger in
for Alex's birthday.
647
00:42:56,410 --> 00:42:59,750
Yes. You'll come upstairs,
deliver Mitch to Bradley on the stage.
648
00:42:59,830 --> 00:43:02,790
Alex is gonna do her segment as planned,
but we are not gonna broadcast it.
649
00:43:02,833 --> 00:43:06,043
That is exactly when Bradley
is gonna be interviewing Mitch.
650
00:43:06,128 --> 00:43:07,438
Cory's gonna take over the control room,
651
00:43:07,462 --> 00:43:10,012
make sure the camera's pointed
exactly where we want it,
652
00:43:10,090 --> 00:43:13,760
at least until UBA freaks the fuck out
and shuts the whole thing down.
653
00:43:14,595 --> 00:43:16,135
You really trust Cory?
654
00:43:17,764 --> 00:43:21,444
I don't know. But I have to.
655
00:43:26,607 --> 00:43:29,147
Well, then I guess
I'll have to trust him too.
656
00:43:33,447 --> 00:43:35,527
I'm sorry I had to drag you into this.
657
00:43:36,116 --> 00:43:38,986
I would've been insulted if you hadn't.
658
00:43:40,662 --> 00:43:41,872
Better get in there.
659
00:43:43,624 --> 00:43:44,834
Hey, Rena?
660
00:43:45,792 --> 00:43:47,712
Sic semper tyrannis.
661
00:43:48,670 --> 00:43:51,670
Questionable reference.
But, yeah, I get your point.
662
00:43:53,759 --> 00:43:56,349
Sic semper tyrannis.
663
00:44:27,626 --> 00:44:31,506
I'm not really sure how long it's been.
Could you just get down here?
664
00:44:32,130 --> 00:44:36,090
Yes. Yes, it's 103 Wooster Street.
665
00:44:36,510 --> 00:44:37,510
Yes.
666
00:44:38,011 --> 00:44:40,561
Please stay on the line
with me until they arrive.
667
00:44:40,639 --> 00:44:42,099
This is a first for me.
668
00:44:43,725 --> 00:44:44,935
What's happened?
669
00:44:45,978 --> 00:44:47,188
You know her?
670
00:44:48,230 --> 00:44:50,030
I was supposed to
meet up with her last night.
671
00:44:56,822 --> 00:44:58,072
I know her.
672
00:45:11,336 --> 00:45:12,416
Hannah.
673
00:45:40,365 --> 00:45:43,215
It's always difficult to lose someone
with whom you've worked so closely.
674
00:45:43,243 --> 00:45:44,703
I know that's all of you.
675
00:45:44,786 --> 00:45:47,156
Chip's strength was how hands-on he was.
676
00:45:48,290 --> 00:45:52,460
But being so hands-on also means,
as we have sadly come to learn,
677
00:45:52,544 --> 00:45:57,174
he was aware of Mitch's reprehensible
behavior, and he allowed it to continue.
678
00:45:58,467 --> 00:45:59,967
That is inexcusable.
679
00:46:01,094 --> 00:46:03,224
Chip didn't corner the market
on great producing.
680
00:46:03,305 --> 00:46:05,135
You will come to find that out very soon.
681
00:46:05,724 --> 00:46:09,904
But this is about more than a job
or making money for the network
682
00:46:10,646 --> 00:46:12,226
or broadcasting the news.
683
00:46:13,524 --> 00:46:15,194
This is about your well-being.
684
00:46:16,276 --> 00:46:22,196
And Marlon Tate is someone under whom you
can feel safe coming to work every day.
685
00:46:26,537 --> 00:46:27,697
Thanks, Fred.
686
00:46:28,455 --> 00:46:32,955
That's right. I was a PA once myself
on Rise and Shine Seattle.
687
00:46:33,043 --> 00:46:36,463
So, anything that I ask you to do,
I've done before myself.
688
00:46:37,673 --> 00:46:40,723
Then after Seattle, I had this epiphany.
689
00:46:41,343 --> 00:46:43,763
I said to myself, "Marlon, dreams..."
690
00:46:43,846 --> 00:46:44,846
Hey. What's wrong?
691
00:46:45,305 --> 00:46:46,515
Bradley.
692
00:46:48,934 --> 00:46:50,854
- I...
- Claire, what's the matter?
693
00:46:51,854 --> 00:46:54,194
I have to... tell you something.
694
00:46:55,357 --> 00:46:57,277
I don't know how to say this.
695
00:47:02,406 --> 00:47:03,736
It's Hannah.
696
00:47:05,868 --> 00:47:08,078
She's dead. She's dead.
697
00:47:08,620 --> 00:47:09,710
She overdosed.
698
00:47:11,790 --> 00:47:13,330
There wasn't a note.
699
00:47:13,959 --> 00:47:16,549
Maybe it was an accident. I don't know.
700
00:47:26,597 --> 00:47:27,807
Bradley?
701
00:47:30,142 --> 00:47:31,482
I'm still gonna come into work.
702
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,190
Just do what you have to do.
703
00:47:34,438 --> 00:47:35,438
Okay.
704
00:48:54,393 --> 00:48:55,393
People...
705
00:48:56,478 --> 00:48:59,478
let's take a moment to honor...
706
00:49:00,315 --> 00:49:01,975
and remember Hannah...
707
00:49:03,068 --> 00:49:04,698
our dear colleague.
708
00:49:32,222 --> 00:49:33,932
We have some bad news.
709
00:49:34,016 --> 00:49:35,726
Yeah. About Chip?
710
00:49:36,935 --> 00:49:37,935
No.
711
00:49:38,687 --> 00:49:39,727
What?
712
00:49:53,952 --> 00:49:56,412
Hey. So, we're good to go.
713
00:49:56,496 --> 00:49:58,056
You know, Rena's gonna help Mitch, and...
714
00:49:58,081 --> 00:49:59,291
The interview's off.
715
00:50:00,876 --> 00:50:03,086
What are you talking about?
We have to do this today.
716
00:50:03,170 --> 00:50:04,380
This is not an option.
717
00:50:04,463 --> 00:50:05,963
No, Chip. Hannah's dead.
718
00:50:06,757 --> 00:50:07,967
She OD'd.
719
00:50:09,593 --> 00:50:11,013
This is our fault, Chip.
720
00:50:13,222 --> 00:50:14,432
I can't.
721
00:50:15,182 --> 00:50:17,852
I can't go through with it
over her poor, dead body.
722
00:50:17,935 --> 00:50:19,135
I just can't.
723
00:50:26,443 --> 00:50:28,243
I understand. Yeah.
724
00:50:30,531 --> 00:50:31,661
I'll let Mitch know.
725
00:50:32,115 --> 00:50:33,115
Thank you.
726
00:50:53,971 --> 00:50:55,311
I just need a minute, please.
727
00:50:55,389 --> 00:50:57,389
I need to talk to you right now.
728
00:50:57,933 --> 00:50:59,813
What are you... Where are you going?
729
00:50:59,893 --> 00:51:02,573
I'm leaving. I don't know
where the fuck I'm going, but I'm leaving.
730
00:51:03,856 --> 00:51:08,146
I was gonna interview Mitch
behind your back, on air, today.
731
00:51:08,610 --> 00:51:10,280
Even though you told me not to.
732
00:51:10,362 --> 00:51:12,702
Actually, especially
'cause you told me not to.
733
00:51:13,407 --> 00:51:14,987
What?
734
00:51:15,075 --> 00:51:17,835
And Mitch was gonna tell me
what happened after his night with Hannah.
735
00:51:18,996 --> 00:51:20,116
Hannah? Hannah?
736
00:51:20,622 --> 00:51:21,832
Yeah, Hannah.
737
00:51:22,416 --> 00:51:25,876
Fred promoted her to protect Mitch,
to keep her quiet.
738
00:51:26,461 --> 00:51:28,091
Quiet from what?
739
00:51:28,172 --> 00:51:30,132
What do you think, Alex?
740
00:51:31,508 --> 00:51:34,548
So I went to her apartment
to corroborate Mitch's story.
741
00:51:34,887 --> 00:51:36,137
To get the truth.
742
00:51:36,638 --> 00:51:39,978
But that wasn't good enough for me.
So, I wanted to annihilate Fred.
743
00:51:40,058 --> 00:51:42,728
I wanted to blow up the fucking network.
744
00:51:42,811 --> 00:51:46,901
I wanted to do anything to get
the best story I possibly could.
745
00:51:46,982 --> 00:51:49,442
And I could see she was avoiding it,
but I pressured her.
746
00:51:49,526 --> 00:51:51,736
Because I'm a special kind of asshole.
747
00:51:52,571 --> 00:51:55,121
And I made her relive every minute of it.
748
00:51:55,824 --> 00:52:00,164
And it opened up something in her that she
couldn't handle, and she killed herself.
749
00:52:00,704 --> 00:52:04,214
I might as well have just taken a gun
and gone in and shot her.
750
00:52:04,791 --> 00:52:07,211
- So, I'm leaving.
- Bradl...
751
00:52:12,341 --> 00:52:13,591
Oh, my...
752
00:52:14,426 --> 00:52:17,096
Oh, no. Oh, God.
753
00:52:19,765 --> 00:52:22,225
Oh, God. No. No, no.
754
00:52:22,643 --> 00:52:24,313
Bradley! Bradley!
755
00:52:24,394 --> 00:52:26,444
Bradley, come on. Slow down, please.
756
00:52:26,980 --> 00:52:30,110
Bradley, this is not your fault.
757
00:52:30,609 --> 00:52:32,439
You cannot take this on yourself.
758
00:52:32,528 --> 00:52:34,698
You had the best intentions.
I know you did.
759
00:52:34,780 --> 00:52:37,200
Fuck me and fuck my intentions, Alex.
760
00:52:37,282 --> 00:52:40,122
Part of my intention was
to blow you up in this process.
761
00:52:40,869 --> 00:52:43,459
Okay, well, you know what?
Maybe I deserve to be blown up.
762
00:52:43,539 --> 00:52:46,539
'Cause you know what I just did,
'cause I'm this kind of an asshole?
763
00:52:46,625 --> 00:52:52,205
I basically just went to Fred, that
asshole Fred, and I begged him for help.
764
00:52:52,297 --> 00:52:55,507
Specifically to get you fired.
765
00:52:56,093 --> 00:52:58,803
So, that's what I did.
That's the kind of asshole that I am.
766
00:52:59,638 --> 00:53:03,478
Well, I'm sorry you lowered yourself
to beg the patriarch, because I'm leaving.
767
00:53:03,559 --> 00:53:04,939
No, but you can't.
768
00:53:05,018 --> 00:53:06,998
- Bradley, please don't leave.
- Yes, I can! Watch me!
769
00:53:07,020 --> 00:53:09,460
No. You can't. Please don't leave.
We have to fix this problem.
770
00:53:09,481 --> 00:53:11,651
Oh, please. Fix this?
How are you gonna fix this?
771
00:53:11,733 --> 00:53:13,363
Bradley, I did not know about Hannah,
772
00:53:13,443 --> 00:53:16,743
I didn't know about Mitch, and I didn't
know about Fred covering. I didn't know...
773
00:53:16,822 --> 00:53:19,452
What about the boys' club
that you told me would never change?
774
00:53:19,533 --> 00:53:20,743
What about that?
775
00:53:23,412 --> 00:53:25,462
I don't... I don't know.
776
00:53:27,499 --> 00:53:31,799
I said it.
I didn't realize how fucked up... I just...
777
00:53:34,548 --> 00:53:37,258
- Goodbye, Alex.
- No. Bradley, I cannot do this.
778
00:53:37,342 --> 00:53:38,702
I need you to get me through today.
779
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:40,139
- I just need you.
- I can't do it.
780
00:53:40,220 --> 00:53:41,700
- I just need you for today.
- Hey, Morning Show!
781
00:53:41,722 --> 00:53:44,082
- Can I take a selfie with you?
- It's not a good time. I'm sorry.
782
00:53:44,099 --> 00:53:45,269
Hey! Fuck off!
783
00:53:45,350 --> 00:53:47,270
- I said no! Give me your fucking camera.
- Alex!
784
00:53:47,352 --> 00:53:50,022
Give it to me, you fucker!
What, do you think you own me?
785
00:53:50,689 --> 00:53:53,209
You think I'm available 24-7 because
I'm in your living room every morning
786
00:53:53,233 --> 00:53:55,173
trying to make you feel better
about this miserable world?
787
00:53:55,194 --> 00:53:56,284
Well, I'm not! Guess what?
788
00:53:56,361 --> 00:53:58,161
- Alex.
- I'm empty! This is empty!
789
00:53:58,238 --> 00:53:59,358
- Stop it. Alex.
- I'm empty!
790
00:53:59,406 --> 00:54:01,086
You know what empty looks like?
It looks like this.
791
00:54:01,116 --> 00:54:02,696
When I say "no," it means no.
792
00:54:02,784 --> 00:54:04,754
- Alex! Will you just calm the fuck down?
- What?
793
00:54:04,828 --> 00:54:07,868
I will go upstairs if you shut the fuck up
and just give him his phone back.
794
00:54:07,956 --> 00:54:09,056
- Yes.
- Give him his phone back!
795
00:54:09,082 --> 00:54:10,672
Here's your fucking phone, sir.
796
00:54:10,751 --> 00:54:11,751
Come on. Come on.
797
00:54:11,835 --> 00:54:13,045
- Piece of shit!
- Leave him!
798
00:54:13,128 --> 00:54:16,088
Jesus Christ. Just today.
I'm doing this for just today.
799
00:54:16,173 --> 00:54:17,843
- I know. Just today. I know.
- Come on.
800
00:54:21,887 --> 00:54:23,427
Alex, Bradley, where you been?
801
00:54:23,514 --> 00:54:25,114
We're cutting it kinda close here, guys.
802
00:54:25,140 --> 00:54:26,560
Oh. I got Alex. She's fine. Okay.
803
00:54:26,642 --> 00:54:27,982
- You're staying, right?
- Sure.
804
00:54:28,060 --> 00:54:29,060
Okay.
805
00:54:31,271 --> 00:54:32,371
You missed the announcement,
806
00:54:32,397 --> 00:54:34,777
but I've arranged
to have grief counselors available.
807
00:54:40,781 --> 00:54:42,161
Hey, where're you going?
808
00:54:42,241 --> 00:54:44,081
I'm out of this place. I'm done.
809
00:54:44,701 --> 00:54:48,041
Listen to me. I understand how horrible
this is, but you can't walk off the show.
810
00:54:48,121 --> 00:54:49,161
Can't you just let me go?
811
00:54:49,248 --> 00:54:51,918
I can't sit next to her.
I can't pretend anymore.
812
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,000
You have evidence against the guy
who's the head of this company,
813
00:54:55,087 --> 00:54:56,127
and you're gonna walk out?
814
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:58,510
You cannot keep yourself pure
815
00:54:58,590 --> 00:55:01,890
just by moving on
every time someone disappoints you.
816
00:55:01,969 --> 00:55:05,009
You think people in one town over
are gonna be any better?
817
00:55:06,098 --> 00:55:07,138
No.
818
00:55:07,850 --> 00:55:12,440
Human nature, it's surprisingly universal,
and it's universally disappointing.
819
00:55:12,521 --> 00:55:18,031
So, you might as well stay
and fight the fight, Bradley Jackson.
820
00:55:46,263 --> 00:55:48,683
No, no. I didn't need a personal escort.
821
00:55:48,765 --> 00:55:49,885
We're not doing this.
822
00:55:49,975 --> 00:55:52,435
Well, I'm sorry you feel that way,
but you're not EP anymore.
823
00:55:52,519 --> 00:55:55,019
Mitch, Hannah's dead. She OD'd.
824
00:55:55,772 --> 00:55:56,822
What?
825
00:55:57,816 --> 00:56:00,646
After she told Bradley about
what happened with you and Fred.
826
00:56:08,368 --> 00:56:11,828
You wanna say something now?
You wanna... You wanna justify...
827
00:56:13,540 --> 00:56:16,380
You fucking... Fucking asshole!
828
00:56:20,422 --> 00:56:21,422
Fucker!
829
00:56:23,759 --> 00:56:26,849
It was me. I was the one
who leaked it to the Times.
830
00:56:26,929 --> 00:56:29,719
So fuck you, Mitch! Fuck you!
831
00:57:00,087 --> 00:57:01,377
Oh, my God.
832
00:57:02,047 --> 00:57:03,167
Oh, my God.
833
00:57:34,496 --> 00:57:35,576
Come here.
834
00:57:40,377 --> 00:57:41,957
I'm so sorry.
835
00:57:53,265 --> 00:57:55,635
Hey, Alex. It's me.
836
00:57:57,769 --> 00:57:59,979
You're probably gonna hear something soon.
837
00:58:02,065 --> 00:58:04,685
They were investigating Mitch,
but they were getting rid of you.
838
00:58:05,986 --> 00:58:08,236
Leaking to the Times...
839
00:58:09,489 --> 00:58:10,529
it was a last resort.
840
00:58:10,616 --> 00:58:12,026
I didn't know what it was gonna do.
841
00:58:13,243 --> 00:58:17,333
I just knew that
if they didn't have Mitch,
842
00:58:17,414 --> 00:58:19,794
then they needed you.
843
00:58:21,293 --> 00:58:22,593
And I needed you.
844
00:58:28,383 --> 00:58:30,093
Anyway, it was always for you.
845
00:58:32,638 --> 00:58:33,758
Always.
846
00:58:35,766 --> 00:58:36,976
There. Thank you.
847
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:42,610
Thank you for staying.
848
00:58:47,736 --> 00:58:50,026
And we're live in 30 seconds.
849
00:59:00,415 --> 00:59:02,455
I can't imagine how hard this is for you,
850
00:59:02,543 --> 00:59:05,843
and I want you to know how much
I appreciate your professionalism.
851
00:59:07,673 --> 00:59:09,013
Let's do this one for Hannah.
852
00:59:13,053 --> 00:59:14,683
Get the fuck out of my face.
853
00:59:21,854 --> 00:59:24,314
- Oh, my God.
- Thank you. Add a little up there.
854
00:59:24,398 --> 00:59:25,398
Are you okay?
855
00:59:25,482 --> 00:59:26,822
Yeah. No, I'm good. It's good.
856
00:59:26,900 --> 00:59:28,320
No, leave it! Who gives a fuck?
857
00:59:29,069 --> 00:59:30,069
We're just gonna do this.
858
00:59:30,153 --> 00:59:33,953
Five, four, three, two...
859
00:59:39,037 --> 00:59:40,077
{\an8}Welcome, everyone.
860
00:59:40,789 --> 00:59:42,039
{\an8}Thank you for joining us.
861
00:59:43,792 --> 00:59:44,842
{\an8}In our...
862
00:59:46,086 --> 00:59:47,416
{\an8}In our top s...
863
00:59:49,464 --> 00:59:50,844
{\an8}story today...
864
00:59:53,594 --> 00:59:56,354
- Bradley, can you take this one?
- Yes. Of course.
865
00:59:56,847 --> 01:00:00,767
A Papua New Guinea-bound
Golden Trident Cruise luxury liner
866
01:00:00,851 --> 01:00:05,861
carrying over 5,000 passengers
is in its fourth day of quarantine.
867
01:00:05,939 --> 01:00:08,859
- Over two-thirds of its passengers and...
- Alex, you okay?
868
01:00:08,942 --> 01:00:10,742
Stay on three. Stand by, one.
869
01:00:10,819 --> 01:00:12,459
- What the fuck is she doing?
- I don't know.
870
01:00:12,487 --> 01:00:13,817
Stay on copy, Bradley.
871
01:00:14,740 --> 01:00:19,240
The ship sits moored more
than 600 nautical miles from Honolulu.
872
01:00:19,328 --> 01:00:22,368
A rescue ship is expected
to arrive this afternoon
873
01:00:22,456 --> 01:00:24,116
- with antibiotics...
- Fucking people.
874
01:00:24,208 --> 01:00:27,168
And medical supplies
to treat the sick passengers on board.
875
01:00:28,587 --> 01:00:30,837
{\an8}A spokesperson for the cruise line
876
01:00:31,548 --> 01:00:34,048
{\an8}says that they are working day and night
877
01:00:34,134 --> 01:00:38,354
to get all of the infected people
back to the safety of their homes
878
01:00:38,430 --> 01:00:39,680
as soon as possible...
879
01:00:39,765 --> 01:00:42,425
- What's your name?
- And that they are, quote...
880
01:00:42,518 --> 01:00:44,188
- Joe.
- Joe?
881
01:00:44,686 --> 01:00:46,186
Fifteen years, I never met Joe.
882
01:00:46,271 --> 01:00:48,021
- Oh, my God.
- What the hell?
883
01:00:48,106 --> 01:00:52,316
All of the ship's passengers will get
a full refund due to the outbreak.
884
01:00:53,403 --> 01:00:54,613
Stay on three.
885
01:00:55,113 --> 01:00:56,553
Stand by, one. What do you wanna do?
886
01:00:56,573 --> 01:00:57,973
Just get her ass back in the chair!
887
01:00:57,991 --> 01:00:59,581
I... Alex, what...
888
01:00:59,660 --> 01:01:03,290
- Alex, please sit down.
- Nope. I don't wanna sit down.
889
01:01:04,581 --> 01:01:06,041
I'm not sitting down.
890
01:01:06,124 --> 01:01:08,134
- Oh, wow.
- Fuckin' jerks.
891
01:01:10,295 --> 01:01:13,215
{\an8}-Its estimated time of arrival was...
- Listen. Can I interrupt?
892
01:01:13,298 --> 01:01:14,588
{\an8}Yeah. Yes.
893
01:01:14,675 --> 01:01:15,875
{\an8}Hi. Sorry.
894
01:01:18,387 --> 01:01:20,137
{\an8}We haven't been honest with you.
895
01:01:21,139 --> 01:01:23,179
{\an8}I mean, not, like, with the news.
896
01:01:23,267 --> 01:01:25,227
{\an8}I'm not talking about that.
897
01:01:25,310 --> 01:01:26,940
{\an8}I'm actually talking about ourselves.
898
01:01:27,020 --> 01:01:29,400
What the fuck are they doing?
Get ready to go to tape early.
899
01:01:29,481 --> 01:01:31,401
- Ready tape.
- We don't tell you everything,
900
01:01:31,483 --> 01:01:32,863
even a little bit.
901
01:01:33,569 --> 01:01:36,279
I mean, this whole place... This...
902
01:01:36,738 --> 01:01:42,288
It's really different than what you...
than what it may appear to you.
903
01:01:42,744 --> 01:01:44,914
And there are some really bad things
going on here.
904
01:01:44,997 --> 01:01:48,957
Some really bad things. Some really bad...
There are bad people and...
905
01:01:49,042 --> 01:01:50,172
Are we doing this?
906
01:01:50,836 --> 01:01:51,836
Yeah, you wanna?
907
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,070
We should tell the truth quickly.
They're gonna cut us off.
908
01:01:54,089 --> 01:01:55,319
- We have one minute.
- Yes. Let's do it.
909
01:01:55,340 --> 01:01:58,220
- Roll the fucking tape.
- Ignore that, Donny. Do not roll tape.
910
01:01:58,302 --> 01:02:00,892
- Stay on the teacup and get everything.
- Okay.
911
01:02:00,971 --> 01:02:02,681
Push in, Gene. Get it all.
912
01:02:02,764 --> 01:02:06,444
We would like to share
some information about our network.
913
01:02:06,518 --> 01:02:10,108
We believe Fred Micklen to have been
central in creating an environment
914
01:02:10,189 --> 01:02:13,029
- that silenced women who came forward...
- No. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
915
01:02:13,108 --> 01:02:15,988
- to complain about sexual misconduct.
- Those motherfuckers! No!
916
01:02:16,403 --> 01:02:18,863
UBA is about to release
an internal investigation
917
01:02:18,947 --> 01:02:20,527
saying that they have been cleared.
918
01:02:20,616 --> 01:02:22,076
This is not true.
919
01:02:22,159 --> 01:02:23,449
It is mostly bullshit.
920
01:02:23,535 --> 01:02:27,245
It is all bullshit. It's bullshit,
and I'm not gonna lie to you anymore.
921
01:02:27,331 --> 01:02:28,851
{\an8}None of us are gonna lie to you anymore.
922
01:02:28,874 --> 01:02:33,054
{\an8}Because I'm as culpable as anyone
in terms of not calling out or helping
923
01:02:33,128 --> 01:02:36,668
to end the sexual misconduct
that goes on in this fucking building.
924
01:02:36,757 --> 01:02:40,587
{\an8}On October 1, 2017,
Mitch Kessler traveled to Las Vegas
925
01:02:40,677 --> 01:02:42,257
{\an8}to cover the horrible massacre.
926
01:02:42,930 --> 01:02:45,350
While he was there,
he slept with a female colleague.
927
01:02:45,432 --> 01:02:47,682
She was young. He was her boss.
928
01:03:01,156 --> 01:03:03,616
Corporate culture comes from the top down.
929
01:03:03,700 --> 01:03:09,870
And Fred Micklen dictated
a culture of fear and silence...
930
01:03:10,999 --> 01:03:12,879
and paranoia and pain.
931
01:03:14,002 --> 01:03:17,632
And it permeated everything,
including The Morning Show.
932
01:03:18,131 --> 01:03:19,301
{\an8}I saw it.
933
01:03:20,133 --> 01:03:23,603
{\an8}I saw how it affected the women,
and I never stopped it.
934
01:03:25,138 --> 01:03:26,678
'Cause I was succeeding.
935
01:03:33,647 --> 01:03:35,567
And I know that it's not enough...
936
01:03:36,984 --> 01:03:40,904
but I apologize to many people.
937
01:03:42,406 --> 01:03:44,276
To one person in particular...
938
01:03:45,033 --> 01:03:48,793
{\an8}I was so unfair to you,
and I am deeply sorry.
939
01:03:49,705 --> 01:03:53,245
And I will do everything
that I can to make it right.
940
01:03:53,834 --> 01:03:58,094
The abuse of power,
the corporate corruption, it has to end.
941
01:03:58,172 --> 01:04:02,262
We cannot accept a culture of silence,
here or anywhere.
942
01:04:03,093 --> 01:04:05,643
{\an8}Come here. Camera two, get over here.
Come closer.
943
01:04:06,221 --> 01:04:08,471
{\an8}Donny, I want a tight two-shot.
944
01:04:09,349 --> 01:04:11,019
Come closer, please.
945
01:04:13,437 --> 01:04:17,107
{\an8}As many Fred Micklens are out there,
946
01:04:17,941 --> 01:04:21,861
{\an8}there are billions more people like me,
and like Bradley, and like you.
947
01:04:22,654 --> 01:04:24,074
{\an8}So get loud.
