2
00:02:08,701 --> 00:02:09,870
How old was the boy?
3
00:02:10,913 --> 00:02:12,498
Just turned nine.
4
00:02:12,998 --> 00:02:14,041
Jesus.
5
00:02:20,923 --> 00:02:22,299
Is this your daddy?
6
00:02:23,843 --> 00:02:24,885
And he was driving?
7
00:02:49,535 --> 00:02:50,703
Bradley?
8
00:02:54,090 --> 00:02:55,091
Bradley!
9
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,469
Hey, I... Listen, I completely
understand why you'd be upset with me.
10
00:02:58,553 --> 00:03:00,138
- Go away.
- I've got a lot of explaining to do.
11
00:03:00,221 --> 00:03:02,056
Paul was behind this.
12
00:03:02,140 --> 00:03:03,808
Please just leave me alone, Cory.
13
00:03:03,891 --> 00:03:06,769
Paul was behind this. Can you just
let me in so we can talk about it?
14
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:11,399
Cory, Paul knows. He fucking knows.
15
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:16,320
How?
16
00:03:17,864 --> 00:03:20,408
How does he know? Bradley.
17
00:03:20,491 --> 00:03:23,202
I don't know.
18
00:03:23,286 --> 00:03:26,330
Go away, please. I'm being
serious. Please...
19
00:03:26,414 --> 00:03:28,332
Please, just leave me alone.
20
00:03:41,596 --> 00:03:44,057
You've reached
Bradley Jackson. Leave a message.
21
00:03:44,140 --> 00:03:45,433
Come on.
22
00:03:50,855 --> 00:03:51,981
Oh, my God.
23
00:03:52,732 --> 00:03:53,733
Hey.
24
00:03:53,816 --> 00:03:55,026
Hey.
25
00:03:55,109 --> 00:03:56,652
I'm assuming you saw this broadcast.
26
00:03:56,736 --> 00:03:59,238
I did. I did and this...
27
00:03:59,322 --> 00:04:01,532
I just saw this article on Cory.
28
00:04:01,616 --> 00:04:05,244
Yeah. Well, I mean,
he had to be shut down.
29
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,498
It's not like he could blow
up the deal, but like you said,
30
00:04:08,581 --> 00:04:10,833
I'm sure he sure as shit would've tried.
31
00:04:11,334 --> 00:04:13,002
You planted this article?
32
00:04:14,045 --> 00:04:15,588
I gave them information.
33
00:04:16,547 --> 00:04:19,509
Oh, my God, Paul. Cory is a lot
of things, but a sexual predator?
34
00:04:19,592 --> 00:04:22,637
I mean, honestly, why didn't
you talk to me about this?
35
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,055
We don't do this.
36
00:04:24,138 --> 00:04:25,973
I didn't want you to
get your hands dirty.
37
00:04:26,057 --> 00:04:28,893
This is not just bad for Cory.
This is terrible for Bradley.
38
00:04:28,976 --> 00:04:31,062
She just resigned.
39
00:04:31,145 --> 00:04:32,146
Okay.
40
00:04:35,108 --> 00:04:37,860
That article is not why she resigned.
41
00:04:39,404 --> 00:04:40,405
Well, then what...
42
00:04:41,239 --> 00:04:42,365
Okay.
43
00:04:42,448 --> 00:04:43,699
I just spoke to Gayle.
44
00:04:44,242 --> 00:04:46,285
She said that she saw you go
into Bradley's dressing room
45
00:04:46,369 --> 00:04:47,787
right before she went on air, so you...
46
00:04:47,870 --> 00:04:50,957
Just tell me what happened.
What did you say to her?
47
00:04:52,709 --> 00:04:55,962
A friend of mine from the
FBI reached out to me.
48
00:04:56,045 --> 00:04:57,413
The Feds are considering leveling
49
00:04:57,423 --> 00:04:59,382
charges against Bradley and her brother.
50
00:04:59,465 --> 00:05:03,594
What? Char... What char...
What are you talking about?
51
00:05:04,262 --> 00:05:08,641
Her brother assaulted a Capitol
Hill police officer on January 6th,
52
00:05:08,725 --> 00:05:12,645
and Bradley withheld
evidence to help cover it up.
53
00:05:15,273 --> 00:05:16,733
Oh, my God.
54
00:05:18,443 --> 00:05:19,986
No, no, no, no, no.
55
00:05:21,112 --> 00:05:23,531
Oh, my God. Oh, my
God. Why didn't you...
56
00:05:23,614 --> 00:05:25,700
How did you know this, and you
not talk to me about this...
57
00:05:25,783 --> 00:05:28,369
Alex, if this was made public,
it would be a fucking disaster.
58
00:05:28,453 --> 00:05:31,038
I mean, this could feed
mistrust of the media.
59
00:05:31,122 --> 00:05:32,915
This could blow back on you.
60
00:05:32,999 --> 00:05:34,667
You're the one who brought her in.
61
00:05:35,501 --> 00:05:38,171
Not a great look for someone who's
trying to launch something new.
62
00:05:38,254 --> 00:05:40,089
Did you tell her to resign?
63
00:05:40,173 --> 00:05:44,218
I told her that I would do every
single thing in my power to help.
64
00:05:45,845 --> 00:05:47,388
Resigning was her idea.
65
00:05:48,306 --> 00:05:50,141
And honestly, I think she felt relieved.
66
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,534
Anybody out there? Hello?
67
00:06:09,952 --> 00:06:10,953
Hello?
68
00:06:11,829 --> 00:06:13,873
Whoa, CodeQueen.
69
00:06:13,956 --> 00:06:14,957
Hey, Mel.
70
00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:16,125
It's been forever.
71
00:06:16,626 --> 00:06:18,836
You haven't seen
SpaceCase around, have you?
72
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,882
Uh, a couple months
ago. She was messed up though.
73
00:06:22,965 --> 00:06:24,592
Some weird shit was going down.
74
00:06:24,675 --> 00:06:26,344
What kind of weird shit?
75
00:06:26,427 --> 00:06:28,638
I don't know. You try DMing her?
76
00:06:29,222 --> 00:06:31,808
I told her to go to Nevermore,
fuck up some zombies.
77
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,769
Yeah. Yeah, I got it. Thanks.
78
00:06:34,852 --> 00:06:36,771
Sure. See you.
79
00:07:00,128 --> 00:07:04,257
We're still reeling from last
night's UBA double whammy.
80
00:07:04,340 --> 00:07:08,177
Top-rated evening anchor
Bradley Jackson resigned on air
81
00:07:08,261 --> 00:07:10,638
citing, that old
chestnut, personal reasons.
82
00:07:11,180 --> 00:07:13,599
Translation? Cory Ellison.
83
00:07:14,183 --> 00:07:17,311
As that elevator photo
makes painfully clear,
84
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:21,983
UBA's CEO got way too personal
with his attractive on-air talent,
85
00:07:22,066 --> 00:07:24,902
and UBA top brass dutifully announced
86
00:07:24,913 --> 00:07:26,967
they've hired an independent law firm
87
00:07:26,977 --> 00:07:29,459
to investigate any possible misconduct.
88
00:07:29,625 --> 00:07:32,566
Y'all. Really? Let me save
you some billable hours.
89
00:07:32,577 --> 00:07:35,121
New boss, same as the creepy old boss.
90
00:07:35,204 --> 00:07:36,664
So, what?
91
00:07:37,707 --> 00:07:40,877
I'm gonna become an asterisk right
under Mitch Kessler's asterisk?
92
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,296
Not a rapist, but just bad
enough to never work again?
93
00:07:43,438 --> 00:07:45,594
We're not giving credence to a tabloid
94
00:07:45,604 --> 00:07:47,609
by responding to false allegations.
95
00:07:47,825 --> 00:07:48,885
Are you sure?
96
00:07:48,896 --> 00:07:50,898
They say every picture tells a story,
97
00:07:51,054 --> 00:07:56,184
and Bradley Jackson slumped
in Cory's arms like a dead dog
98
00:07:56,267 --> 00:07:58,728
tells rather a lurid
one, don't you think?
99
00:07:58,811 --> 00:08:00,605
Let me tell you another story, Leonard.
100
00:08:00,688 --> 00:08:04,776
Bradley was piss drunk that night,
and I helped her up to her room.
101
00:08:05,693 --> 00:08:07,653
We had grilled cheese,
102
00:08:07,737 --> 00:08:10,281
and then she passed out while
I watched TV in the other room.
103
00:08:10,364 --> 00:08:13,618
I don't remember any sexual harassment,
104
00:08:13,701 --> 00:08:16,204
but I fucking remember that
grilled cheese, 'cause it was good.
105
00:08:16,287 --> 00:08:18,581
So let's put out that statement
and let me get back to work.
106
00:08:18,664 --> 00:08:20,124
I think it's too messy, Cory.
107
00:08:20,708 --> 00:08:21,918
Between that and the outing,
108
00:08:22,001 --> 00:08:24,545
I think the public would never
be able to get its head around it.
109
00:08:24,629 --> 00:08:28,424
Look, just cooperate with the inquiry,
110
00:08:28,508 --> 00:08:31,677
and in the meantime, for heaven's
sake, take a leave of absence.
111
00:08:31,761 --> 00:08:33,471
At least until the deal's done.
112
00:08:33,553 --> 00:08:37,141
You know what? Inquire away.
But I'm not going anywhere.
113
00:08:37,725 --> 00:08:41,812
Brenda, if you would be so kind,
I'd like a private word with Leonard.
114
00:08:41,823 --> 00:08:42,909
Of course.
115
00:08:47,151 --> 00:08:48,152
Leonard.
116
00:08:49,821 --> 00:08:53,032
So, what do you want, Cory?
117
00:08:53,043 --> 00:08:54,474
Don't let him sell us off.
118
00:08:56,369 --> 00:08:59,539
You can be the savior of legacy media.
119
00:08:59,622 --> 00:09:01,582
You can be the champion
of the free press.
120
00:09:01,666 --> 00:09:05,128
Just convince the shareholders
to vote no on the deal.
121
00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:07,213
At least until we have
another offer in place.
122
00:09:07,296 --> 00:09:09,173
What other offers?
123
00:09:09,257 --> 00:09:12,051
Who else is gonna take the
company on after what you've done?
124
00:09:12,261 --> 00:09:14,321
No. Let Paul Marks
125
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,099
sell it off, and then
we're done with it.
126
00:09:44,751 --> 00:09:46,669
- Hello?
- Cybil.
127
00:09:46,753 --> 00:09:47,962
- Cory?
- Hi.
128
00:09:48,671 --> 00:09:50,965
I think we could both use a friend.
129
00:09:51,924 --> 00:09:52,925
Run it through legal.
130
00:09:53,593 --> 00:09:54,969
We don't know, so we don't comment.
131
00:09:55,511 --> 00:09:57,013
Sit on it until I get back to you.
132
00:09:57,847 --> 00:09:59,849
Hey. Anyone heard from Bradley?
133
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:02,977
Uh, Bradley, yeah. She's not
answering her calls or emails.
134
00:10:03,061 --> 00:10:04,353
Okay, maybe I should go talk to her...
135
00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:07,106
No, no. RJ went over there
earlier. She wouldn't let him in.
136
00:10:08,191 --> 00:10:09,776
This fucking article.
137
00:10:09,859 --> 00:10:11,819
I can't even believe it.
Do you think it's true?
138
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,656
I don't know what to think.
139
00:10:16,365 --> 00:10:18,951
Okay, what about the
evening news? What's the plan?
140
00:10:19,035 --> 00:10:20,161
Joshua's covering.
141
00:10:21,037 --> 00:10:22,038
But not permanently.
142
00:10:23,122 --> 00:10:26,417
Listen, if you're gonna pick up
somebody from TMS, like Chris or Yanko,
143
00:10:26,501 --> 00:10:29,003
I'd appreciate the heads-up.
It's crazy enough as it is.
144
00:10:30,380 --> 00:10:31,756
You wanna sit down for a sec?
145
00:10:39,472 --> 00:10:44,435
After Friday, we may not
need a permanent news anchor.
146
00:10:45,061 --> 00:10:47,397
What do you mean he's breaking it
up? You gotta be fucking kidding me.
147
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,608
Yeah, fuck it. Let's give
Paul Marks fucking color bars.
148
00:10:50,691 --> 00:10:52,985
That's right, yeah. No more
TMS. Yeah, we'll stage a walkout.
149
00:10:53,069 --> 00:10:55,113
I don't know. This is a
big story, Yanko.
150
00:10:55,196 --> 00:10:58,199
Chris, so what? Then we'll slip
it to YDA, and we do the walkout.
151
00:10:58,282 --> 00:11:00,743
- It's not that simple.
- This is our story to tell.
152
00:11:00,827 --> 00:11:02,078
We should do the show.
153
00:11:02,247 --> 00:11:03,999
We don't have enough to run anything.
154
00:11:04,414 --> 00:11:07,375
Bradley was working the Hyperion
angle before she resigned.
155
00:11:07,458 --> 00:11:09,085
Our whistleblower went AWOL.
156
00:11:09,836 --> 00:11:11,587
Literally no one will go on the record.
157
00:11:11,598 --> 00:11:12,926
Stella's right.
158
00:11:12,936 --> 00:11:15,310
Trash-talking Paul Marks is not
even gonna make Twitter, so...
159
00:11:15,466 --> 00:11:16,759
Who cares about Paul Marks?
160
00:11:17,465 --> 00:11:20,013
The 20,000 employees at UBA deserve to
161
00:11:20,023 --> 00:11:22,504
know what's at stake in this board vote.
162
00:11:22,581 --> 00:11:24,263
If the lights are going out, we need
163
00:11:24,273 --> 00:11:26,335
to talk about what that means for them.
164
00:11:26,705 --> 00:11:27,781
For us.
165
00:11:28,938 --> 00:11:31,107
Yeah, we'd need something loud though.
166
00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:32,358
The right guest.
167
00:11:33,359 --> 00:11:34,777
Someone who has nothing to lose.
168
00:12:02,764 --> 00:12:03,765
Okay.
169
00:12:10,146 --> 00:12:11,814
This is why they hate us.
170
00:12:11,898 --> 00:12:15,234
Ninety million gallons of
water a year on this shit.
171
00:12:15,318 --> 00:12:17,111
They let you join this place?
172
00:12:17,195 --> 00:12:19,072
Oh, no, I'd never pass
the background check.
173
00:12:19,155 --> 00:12:21,949
I was arrested protesting
CFCs in the '80s.
174
00:12:22,033 --> 00:12:23,326
Clothing-optional.
175
00:12:23,409 --> 00:12:25,453
But we made our point.
You see the ozone layer?
176
00:12:25,536 --> 00:12:26,788
Yeah, then you're trespassing.
177
00:12:28,164 --> 00:12:29,874
And how exactly did you find me?
178
00:12:29,957 --> 00:12:31,959
You're a creature of habit, Reed.
179
00:12:32,043 --> 00:12:35,380
And you're toxic, Cory.
Full-on radioactive.
180
00:12:35,463 --> 00:12:38,174
That's exactly what
Paul Marks wants you to think,
181
00:12:38,257 --> 00:12:40,465
because he would lose his fucking mind
182
00:12:40,475 --> 00:12:42,053
if he knew what I came here to say.
183
00:12:45,807 --> 00:12:48,101
Guys, give me a minute?
184
00:12:48,184 --> 00:12:49,435
- Sure.
- Sure.
185
00:12:51,187 --> 00:12:53,648
Yeah.
186
00:12:57,026 --> 00:12:58,528
Paul may not have the votes.
187
00:12:59,695 --> 00:13:03,116
There are rumors of major
problems at Hyperion,
188
00:13:03,199 --> 00:13:05,660
and our shareholders are getting jumpy.
189
00:13:07,370 --> 00:13:09,205
So you're looking for another buyer?
190
00:13:09,288 --> 00:13:11,124
I am looking for a loan.
191
00:13:11,135 --> 00:13:12,528
You know, like that eight billion
192
00:13:12,538 --> 00:13:14,491
you were gonna give me a few weeks ago.
193
00:13:14,502 --> 00:13:17,088
That's the security blanket
our key investors need
194
00:13:17,171 --> 00:13:18,631
to defect to our side.
195
00:13:18,715 --> 00:13:20,591
Yeah, sorry, that loan's off the table.
196
00:13:20,602 --> 00:13:21,751
I figured as much.
197
00:13:21,762 --> 00:13:24,139
So, I'm happy to sweeten the deal.
198
00:13:25,054 --> 00:13:28,766
We will give Sloan a
piece of UBA's equity.
199
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,602
You won't even know how
to spend that much money.
200
00:13:32,228 --> 00:13:34,564
I don't know.
201
00:13:34,647 --> 00:13:37,358
When someone has smallpox, I don't
really wanna share their blanket.
202
00:13:37,442 --> 00:13:44,157
Hmm. Your buddy, Fred, seems to
think the deal is worth the trouble.
203
00:13:45,950 --> 00:13:49,370
He's advising Hyperion on the
breakup value of UBA's assets
204
00:13:49,454 --> 00:13:51,581
and getting a serious
payout for his trouble.
205
00:13:54,459 --> 00:13:56,711
Sounds like he's
forgetting who his friends are.
206
00:13:56,794 --> 00:13:57,795
Mmm.
207
00:14:00,715 --> 00:14:03,342
Well, whip some votes, Cory.
208
00:14:04,218 --> 00:14:06,429
And maybe I'll write you that check.
209
00:14:19,067 --> 00:14:23,112
Bradley, I am not leaving until
you open the door and I talk to you,
210
00:14:23,196 --> 00:14:24,405
and I know that you're okay.
211
00:14:30,536 --> 00:14:31,579
Bradley.
212
00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:38,711
Oh, thank God. Can I please come in?
213
00:14:39,420 --> 00:14:41,005
You have to leave your bag in the hall.
214
00:14:42,924 --> 00:14:44,634
- What?
- You can't come in
215
00:14:44,717 --> 00:14:46,177
unless you leave your bag in the hall.
216
00:14:46,761 --> 00:14:48,221
Okay. Okay.
217
00:14:51,474 --> 00:14:52,642
And that.
218
00:14:58,064 --> 00:14:59,065
Okay.
219
00:15:05,238 --> 00:15:06,489
- Okay. Come on.
- Okay.
220
00:15:10,368 --> 00:15:11,869
Did you lie to the FBI?
221
00:15:15,957 --> 00:15:18,042
Oh, fuck, Bradley!
222
00:15:18,126 --> 00:15:20,002
I didn't have a choice. He's my brother.
223
00:15:20,086 --> 00:15:22,714
Of course you did! You have a
choice. You always have a choice!
224
00:15:22,797 --> 00:15:24,507
No, I fucking didn't, Alex!
225
00:15:25,425 --> 00:15:28,302
He's my only family. How
could I do that to him?
226
00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:29,890
Could you do that to Lizzy?
227
00:15:32,140 --> 00:15:33,933
I could've helped you. I
could've helped you. We...
228
00:15:34,016 --> 00:15:36,686
- We could've helped you.
- Who? You-You-You and Paul?
229
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:39,272
I tried to warn you about him.
230
00:15:39,355 --> 00:15:42,233
I tried t... to tell you,
but you did not wanna hear it.
231
00:15:42,316 --> 00:15:44,736
What the hell does Paul
have to do with any of this?
232
00:15:44,819 --> 00:15:47,739
How did he know, Alex? How did he know?
233
00:15:47,822 --> 00:15:51,242
You're a journalist. How the
fuck did he know about me and Hal?
234
00:15:51,325 --> 00:15:55,121
There are hours... Hundreds of
hours of footage of that day.
235
00:15:55,204 --> 00:15:57,874
You really thought... You thought
no one would figure this out?
236
00:15:57,957 --> 00:16:01,586
Somebody did figure it
out. Laura figured it out.
237
00:16:01,669 --> 00:16:04,213
- Okay.
- When Paul came to talk to me,
238
00:16:04,297 --> 00:16:06,632
he knew that Laura had
already confronted me.
239
00:16:06,716 --> 00:16:08,593
He knew exactly what she had said.
240
00:16:09,302 --> 00:16:12,305
And we... we were in a private
space. We were at her house.
241
00:16:12,388 --> 00:16:13,514
There was nobody else there.
242
00:16:14,557 --> 00:16:15,558
How did he know?
243
00:16:16,350 --> 00:16:17,602
How is that possible?
244
00:16:18,478 --> 00:16:20,938
How the fuck did he know what she said?
245
00:16:26,778 --> 00:16:28,279
So you think he's surveilling you?
246
00:16:28,362 --> 00:16:30,573
I think he's been surveilling me.
247
00:16:30,656 --> 00:16:33,326
Ever since he found out
I was investigating him.
248
00:16:33,409 --> 00:16:35,050
And I don't know if he's on my phone,
249
00:16:35,060 --> 00:16:36,359
I-I don't know if he's on my computer,
250
00:16:36,370 --> 00:16:39,373
but he has eyes on me. It is very clear.
251
00:16:39,810 --> 00:16:41,687
Oh, that's a really big leap, Bradley.
252
00:16:42,752 --> 00:16:44,045
You have to stop this sale.
253
00:16:45,997 --> 00:16:47,207
You have to, Alex.
254
00:16:50,259 --> 00:16:53,638
Even if you have proof,
what am I gonna do?
255
00:16:53,649 --> 00:16:54,795
How do I stop this sale?
256
00:16:54,806 --> 00:16:57,225
I don't know. You're fucking
smart. You're gonna figure it out.
257
00:16:57,308 --> 00:16:59,310
Talk to Stella.
She-She-She started this.
258
00:16:59,394 --> 00:17:01,979
She started pulling threads, and
there's something there, Alex.
259
00:17:02,522 --> 00:17:03,564
There's something there.
260
00:17:04,857 --> 00:17:07,068
But I-I gotta get out of here.
I gotta go to West Virginia.
261
00:17:07,151 --> 00:17:08,361
I gotta get the fuck out of town.
262
00:17:08,443 --> 00:17:10,279
- Slow down. Just slow down.
- I have to hide.
263
00:17:10,363 --> 00:17:12,698
You can't just leave,
okay? Just slow down.
264
00:17:13,449 --> 00:17:15,492
- Do you know what he said to me, Alex?
- No. God, no.
265
00:17:16,327 --> 00:17:17,953
He told me he would destroy her life.
266
00:17:19,329 --> 00:17:21,499
He said he would ruin Laura's career.
267
00:17:24,961 --> 00:17:26,212
I can't let that happen.
268
00:17:26,921 --> 00:17:28,005
I won't let that happen.
269
00:18:04,208 --> 00:18:06,627
Ms. Levy, you ready to head
home, or should I keep driving?
270
00:18:06,711 --> 00:18:08,921
Um, could you just keep driving, please?
271
00:18:55,301 --> 00:18:56,594
Okay.
272
00:19:11,901 --> 00:19:13,444
- Hey. There you are.
- Hi.
273
00:19:13,528 --> 00:19:15,238
- I was starting to get worried.
- I'm sorry.
274
00:19:15,321 --> 00:19:18,366
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
275
00:19:20,118 --> 00:19:22,370
- How was your day?
- Great. You know,
276
00:19:22,381 --> 00:19:25,595
a succession of lawyers like Russian
277
00:19:25,605 --> 00:19:27,845
nesting dolls in Brooks Brothers suits.
278
00:19:29,127 --> 00:19:31,671
Ho-How was yours? You holding up?
279
00:19:33,423 --> 00:19:34,674
I saw Bradley.
280
00:19:36,342 --> 00:19:39,011
Oh.
281
00:19:39,095 --> 00:19:40,096
How is she?
282
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:41,431
Pretty fucked up.
283
00:19:43,099 --> 00:19:46,602
She did not sound like
herself. Really manic.
284
00:19:47,145 --> 00:19:50,106
That's... grim.
285
00:19:50,189 --> 00:19:51,607
Yeah.
286
00:19:51,691 --> 00:19:54,610
What, um... What was she saying?
287
00:19:57,697 --> 00:19:58,948
Nothing.
288
00:19:59,031 --> 00:20:02,368
You know, it was more how
sh... It's more how she sounded.
289
00:20:03,536 --> 00:20:05,164
You know, I think she just knows that
290
00:20:05,174 --> 00:20:07,957
there's no coming
back from what she did.
291
00:20:09,167 --> 00:20:10,793
Yeah.
292
00:20:10,877 --> 00:20:13,046
I just really want this
part to be over, you know?
293
00:20:13,129 --> 00:20:16,007
Just so much pressure with this deal
294
00:20:16,090 --> 00:20:17,925
and everybody just wanting
to, like, tear it down.
295
00:20:20,928 --> 00:20:22,680
We will get through this part.
296
00:20:22,764 --> 00:20:25,433
And then when we are on
the other side of this,
297
00:20:25,516 --> 00:20:26,809
it will be a whole lot better.
298
00:20:28,352 --> 00:20:33,149
I just really wish there was
something I could do for her, you know?
299
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,902
Well, she's gonna have to start
doing some things for herself.
300
00:20:37,862 --> 00:20:39,530
Mm-hmm. I know.
301
00:20:39,614 --> 00:20:42,658
But I think there's still such
a thing as a second chance.
302
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,703
Sometimes.
303
00:20:45,787 --> 00:20:48,623
Yeah. Well, I think she just
has to disappear, you know?
304
00:20:48,706 --> 00:20:50,291
Go back to Hanover
305
00:20:50,375 --> 00:20:54,045
and just hide out until
all this blows over.
306
00:20:55,046 --> 00:20:59,842
So are we, uh, still doing
dinner or has that ship sailed?
307
00:21:01,427 --> 00:21:04,555
You know, um, I'm so tired.
308
00:21:04,639 --> 00:21:06,140
The day's really caught up with me.
309
00:21:06,641 --> 00:21:08,142
Do you mind if we order in?
310
00:21:08,893 --> 00:21:11,020
No, it's fine. Whatever you want.
311
00:21:11,104 --> 00:21:13,314
Okay. Just choose anything.
312
00:21:13,398 --> 00:21:17,485
- I'm gonna, um, go change. Be right out.
- Okay.
313
00:21:59,527 --> 00:22:01,320
I know. I get it.
I gotta see it, all right?
314
00:22:01,404 --> 00:22:03,656
I know I'm the last guy on
earth who hasn't seen it...
315
00:22:03,740 --> 00:22:05,658
It's Tom Cruise in a fighter jet.
316
00:22:05,742 --> 00:22:07,452
I want another sequel...
317
00:22:07,463 --> 00:22:09,465
and then one after that.
I don't care how old he gets.
318
00:22:09,475 --> 00:22:11,539
You can strap his
walker into the cockpit.
319
00:22:11,550 --> 00:22:13,780
Yeah, right. And he'd still
make that look good, wouldn't he?
320
00:22:13,791 --> 00:22:15,334
- You better believe it.
- Yeah.
321
00:22:15,418 --> 00:22:17,712
And now we have a very special guest
322
00:22:17,795 --> 00:22:21,632
here to discuss the imminent sale
of UBA to Hyperion CEO Paul Marks.
323
00:22:21,716 --> 00:22:24,177
- Okay. Oh, shit.
- Charles "Chip" Black.
324
00:22:24,260 --> 00:22:26,220
- Emmy winner and...
- Oh, there he is.
325
00:22:26,304 --> 00:22:29,474
Chip, former executive
producer here at-at UBA.
326
00:22:29,557 --> 00:22:31,059
- Chip, welcome to TMS.
- Hi. Hi.
327
00:22:31,142 --> 00:22:32,894
Or I guess I should
say welcome back, right?
328
00:22:32,977 --> 00:22:35,605
Yeah, hi... hi, guys. Uh, thanks
for... thanks for having me.
329
00:22:35,688 --> 00:22:36,981
Yeah. No, of course. Of course.
330
00:22:37,111 --> 00:22:38,893
So, Chip, you've seen this network go
331
00:22:38,903 --> 00:22:40,531
through so many changes over the years.
332
00:22:40,568 --> 00:22:43,446
Why do you feel compelled
to-to talk about this one today?
333
00:22:43,529 --> 00:22:45,573
Uh, because three years
ago I made a huge mistake.
334
00:22:45,656 --> 00:22:48,409
Um, I waited too long to
speak up about Mitch Kessler.
335
00:22:49,285 --> 00:22:50,870
Um, I knew what he was doing.
336
00:22:51,412 --> 00:22:54,248
I mean, I didn't... Not the...
Not the extent, not all of it...
337
00:22:54,332 --> 00:22:57,543
But, um, I had a sense of it.
338
00:22:57,554 --> 00:22:59,288
Maybe if I had said something earlier,
339
00:22:59,298 --> 00:23:00,768
uh, fewer people would have been hurt.
340
00:23:00,779 --> 00:23:03,407
And, um, I really screwed that up.
341
00:23:04,050 --> 00:23:05,551
Stay on one.
342
00:23:05,562 --> 00:23:07,776
You've recently been
let go from your job here.
343
00:23:07,787 --> 00:23:08,919
Yeah.
344
00:23:08,930 --> 00:23:10,973
So why should we listen
to what you have to say?
345
00:23:11,057 --> 00:23:13,101
Because this has absolutely
nothing to do with me.
346
00:23:13,184 --> 00:23:15,599
This is about UBA and
people need to know
347
00:23:15,609 --> 00:23:17,125
what's about to happen to this place.
348
00:23:17,136 --> 00:23:20,222
- You mean the sale to Paul Marks?
- Nope. I mean the end of UBA.
349
00:23:20,233 --> 00:23:21,567
Here we go.
350
00:23:21,697 --> 00:23:24,992
Paul Marks is going to
dismantle this place. Literally.
351
00:23:25,390 --> 00:23:28,069
If the shareholders vote
yes on the sale tomorrow,
352
00:23:28,342 --> 00:23:31,345
this whole network,
it will cease to exist.
353
00:23:31,733 --> 00:23:33,318
All of it, just-just-just gone.
354
00:23:33,329 --> 00:23:35,623
Th-These two people,
the show, everybody here,
355
00:23:35,824 --> 00:23:38,728
it's just gonna be sucked into
a giant fucking black void and...
356
00:23:38,739 --> 00:23:40,575
- Wow. Okay.
- Sorry, sorry.
357
00:23:40,586 --> 00:23:41,595
Chip, really?
358
00:23:41,606 --> 00:23:42,894
Watch the language.
I think it would help
359
00:23:42,904 --> 00:23:45,455
- to make your case without having to...
- You're right.
360
00:23:45,466 --> 00:23:48,772
Mia, I'm sorry about that.
I will pay the 10K FCC fine.
361
00:23:48,783 --> 00:23:51,764
- Okay, Chip, how do you know this?
- Take two.
362
00:23:51,848 --> 00:23:54,459
You know, the rumor mill can get
pretty crazy around deals like these.
363
00:23:54,470 --> 00:23:58,855
Mm-hmm. It's because it's been
confirmed by multiple sources.
364
00:23:58,938 --> 00:24:01,596
That is what we do here. We fact-check.
365
00:24:01,607 --> 00:24:03,351
When Yanko and Chris are telling
366
00:24:03,361 --> 00:24:05,291
you guys what's happening in the world,
367
00:24:05,302 --> 00:24:07,370
that's because dozens of people...
368
00:24:07,380 --> 00:24:09,991
people you never
see... made it possible.
369
00:24:10,074 --> 00:24:11,743
It's a whole process, okay?
370
00:24:11,826 --> 00:24:14,662
Uh, look, there's somebody
on the national news desk...
371
00:24:14,746 --> 00:24:16,581
They're eating way too much
junk food, they get an alert,
372
00:24:16,664 --> 00:24:18,458
it's, uh, "shots fired"
or something like that.
373
00:24:18,541 --> 00:24:20,418
They call the local sheriff's
office to confirm it.
374
00:24:20,429 --> 00:24:22,256
Only when it's confirmed do they put out
375
00:24:22,266 --> 00:24:24,024
a news alert on a Slack channel.
376
00:24:24,035 --> 00:24:25,829
This is all, like, 3:00
in the morning, by the way.
377
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,759
The producers, they
start writing the scripts.
378
00:24:27,842 --> 00:24:30,136
Chris gets in here ridiculously early
379
00:24:30,219 --> 00:24:33,222
because she needs to
review and rewrite her copy
380
00:24:33,306 --> 00:24:38,019
because she cares about getting it
right. Which Twitter does not do.
381
00:24:38,102 --> 00:24:40,104
And by the way, no
problem with Twitter, okay?
382
00:24:40,115 --> 00:24:42,626
I-It's got its place.
But that is narrowcasting.
383
00:24:42,637 --> 00:24:47,350
We need broadcasting, as-as
corporate and as compromised as it is.
384
00:24:47,361 --> 00:24:49,478
We need a team of
competent people telling us
385
00:24:49,489 --> 00:24:51,267
what's actually happening in the world.
386
00:24:51,278 --> 00:24:53,123
I mean, this is... this is it. This is
387
00:24:53,133 --> 00:24:55,192
the last free campfire in America.
388
00:24:55,203 --> 00:24:57,205
And if this goes out we're all gonna be
389
00:24:57,288 --> 00:24:58,498
- in the fucking dark, people.
- Oh, man.
390
00:24:58,581 --> 00:25:00,249
And w... Sorry, I...
391
00:25:00,333 --> 00:25:02,335
Stay with Chip.
392
00:25:03,461 --> 00:25:06,672
No. No. You know what, fuck that.
393
00:25:06,756 --> 00:25:08,466
I'm not sorry.
394
00:25:08,549 --> 00:25:11,177
Hey, Paul, you wanna
nuke this place? Fine.
395
00:25:11,260 --> 00:25:13,388
You pay the fucking FCC obscenity fines.
396
00:25:13,471 --> 00:25:16,265
You are killing an 80-year-old company
397
00:25:16,349 --> 00:25:18,890
that started as a radio station warning
398
00:25:18,900 --> 00:25:20,937
people about the dangers of fascism.
399
00:25:21,020 --> 00:25:24,774
And you do not fucking care.
So fuck you, motherfucker!
400
00:25:24,857 --> 00:25:27,068
Fuck you and the fucking
rocket you rode in on.
401
00:25:27,151 --> 00:25:30,321
Which, by the way, looks like
a giant fucking metal dick!
402
00:25:30,405 --> 00:25:34,450
Former Morning Show producer
Charles Black broke the Internet,
403
00:25:34,534 --> 00:25:39,205
not to mention major news,
when he announced live on-air
404
00:25:39,288 --> 00:25:42,458
that billionaire Paul
Marks plans to liquidate UBA
405
00:25:42,542 --> 00:25:44,669
following Friday's
shareholder vote on the sale.
406
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,689
And in an age where there's literally
407
00:25:47,699 --> 00:25:49,871
a new billionaire every single day,
408
00:25:49,882 --> 00:25:53,583
Black's R-rated, populist rant struck
409
00:25:53,593 --> 00:25:55,888
a nerve across the political spectrum.
410
00:25:55,972 --> 00:26:00,727
Woke cheerleader, AOC, tweeted
that Black was, quote, "baller."
411
00:26:01,728 --> 00:26:06,566
And even Senator Ted Cruz called for
Congress to investigate Marks' bid
412
00:26:06,649 --> 00:26:08,484
for the legacy media giant.
413
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:12,155
A little Howard Beale goes a long way.
414
00:26:12,238 --> 00:26:14,991
Who knew Chip Black's
f-bombs would save the day?
415
00:26:15,074 --> 00:26:17,285
Two major shareholders
called me an hour ago.
416
00:26:17,368 --> 00:26:21,122
They said the payout wasn't
worth all the bad press.
417
00:26:21,205 --> 00:26:22,290
They're voting no.
418
00:26:22,373 --> 00:26:24,584
I used to hate no. Now I love it!
419
00:26:24,667 --> 00:26:26,627
Yeah. Mercedes is
still on the fence though.
420
00:26:26,784 --> 00:26:28,946
She's concerned about the financial
421
00:26:28,956 --> 00:26:30,996
implications of rejecting Paul's bid.
422
00:26:31,007 --> 00:26:33,926
Tell her we just shook down my
favorite golf buddy for eight billion.
423
00:26:34,761 --> 00:26:36,179
So Reed came through?
424
00:26:37,013 --> 00:26:38,473
What did you promise him?
425
00:26:38,556 --> 00:26:42,143
Well, let's just say you
might have to sell a Picasso.
426
00:26:42,226 --> 00:26:44,395
- Cory...
- Cybil, this is fun.
427
00:26:44,479 --> 00:26:45,938
We're gonna kill a billionaire.
428
00:26:46,022 --> 00:26:47,565
Yeah, I'm hanging up now.
429
00:26:48,900 --> 00:26:50,735
Board members are starting to turn.
430
00:26:51,486 --> 00:26:53,780
Paul, this is happening.
431
00:26:53,863 --> 00:26:55,198
We're losing votes.
432
00:26:56,032 --> 00:26:57,617
Cory fucking Ellison.
433
00:27:00,953 --> 00:27:02,872
Compile the paperwork for the loan.
434
00:27:02,955 --> 00:27:06,542
Don't even touch a UBA computer.
435
00:27:06,626 --> 00:27:10,213
No emails, no pdfs.
This has to be analog.
436
00:27:10,296 --> 00:27:11,964
Then deliver it to my hotel.
437
00:27:12,507 --> 00:27:13,883
Reed and I are meeting tonight.
438
00:27:13,966 --> 00:27:14,967
Got it.
439
00:27:15,051 --> 00:27:19,806
After that, you and I, we
don't talk until after the vote.
440
00:27:19,889 --> 00:27:21,015
No calls. Nothing.
441
00:27:21,974 --> 00:27:23,351
And we keep playing dead.
442
00:27:23,851 --> 00:27:26,604
I want Paul Marks to
fall off his fucking chair
443
00:27:26,687 --> 00:27:28,398
when I walk into that
boardroom on Friday.
444
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,288
Ah. Thank you.
445
00:27:44,372 --> 00:27:45,498
Sure.
446
00:27:46,290 --> 00:27:48,710
So have you, um, talked to her?
447
00:27:48,793 --> 00:27:52,088
No, not since her
little on-air spectacle.
448
00:27:52,672 --> 00:27:53,923
She's so full of shit.
449
00:27:54,006 --> 00:27:55,007
Oof.
450
00:27:55,091 --> 00:27:58,928
If she asked you to
come here to talk to me, I...
451
00:27:59,011 --> 00:28:00,346
Mmm, she didn't.
452
00:28:01,222 --> 00:28:07,854
But she did tell me about, um,
January 6th and Hal. All of it.
453
00:28:10,148 --> 00:28:14,360
Wow. So now she's coming clean?
454
00:28:14,444 --> 00:28:16,988
She feels really awful.
455
00:28:26,914 --> 00:28:30,710
You know, Bradley is, um, a stranger.
456
00:28:31,502 --> 00:28:32,587
I see that now.
457
00:28:33,212 --> 00:28:35,006
I never knew her. Not really.
458
00:28:36,591 --> 00:28:37,800
I just wanted to.
459
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,763
Ugh. This is all just fucked up.
460
00:28:41,846 --> 00:28:43,723
It's all such a mess.
461
00:28:44,390 --> 00:28:46,350
This isn't just about Bradley, is it?
462
00:28:47,330 --> 00:28:49,593
- Well...
- I mean, I-I saw
463
00:28:49,603 --> 00:28:51,529
- Chip's rant.
- Oh.
464
00:28:51,540 --> 00:28:56,420
So, what, is this about
Paul? Or selling UBA?
465
00:28:57,945 --> 00:28:59,614
I-It's...
466
00:28:59,697 --> 00:29:01,657
Listen, if he had bought NBN,
467
00:29:01,741 --> 00:29:04,452
I'm sure he'd probably be
doing the same thing to us.
468
00:29:04,535 --> 00:29:06,537
I mean, you're in the middle
of the ocean treading water
469
00:29:06,621 --> 00:29:08,456
and some guy comes in a lifeboat.
470
00:29:08,539 --> 00:29:10,541
What are you gonna do? Turn him away?
471
00:29:12,168 --> 00:29:13,169
I know.
472
00:29:16,214 --> 00:29:19,509
Okay, I... That's actually what
I'm here to talk to you about.
473
00:29:20,635 --> 00:29:21,803
Okay.
474
00:29:22,387 --> 00:29:24,889
But I'm gonna need something
a little stronger than this.
475
00:29:25,598 --> 00:29:27,225
I'll take that drink
that you offered, please.
476
00:29:27,308 --> 00:29:28,518
- Thank you.
- Coming up.
477
00:29:41,030 --> 00:29:43,741
Good to see you again, Mr. Ellison.
We missed you during the pandemic.
478
00:29:43,825 --> 00:29:45,034
Right this way.
479
00:29:45,118 --> 00:29:47,703
The last civilized spot in Manhattan.
480
00:29:47,787 --> 00:29:50,164
Thanks for arranging
this on such short notice.
481
00:29:50,248 --> 00:29:51,791
We'll make sure you're not disturbed.
482
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,337
Would you like a menu?
We're serving till 11:00.
483
00:29:56,421 --> 00:29:58,089
That won't be necessary.
484
00:29:58,172 --> 00:29:59,799
Don't think this meeting's
gonna take very long.
485
00:30:05,471 --> 00:30:07,265
Can I bring
either of you gentlemen a drink?
486
00:30:07,849 --> 00:30:08,891
Talisker neat.
487
00:30:11,436 --> 00:30:13,855
Uh... yeah. Uh, make it two.
488
00:30:19,652 --> 00:30:20,737
Huh.
489
00:30:23,289 --> 00:30:25,542
So, was it Earl?
490
00:30:26,217 --> 00:30:27,385
Gambling debts.
491
00:30:29,138 --> 00:30:31,849
Everybody leaves some kind of stain.
492
00:30:32,524 --> 00:30:34,299
And, um, Reed?
493
00:30:34,310 --> 00:30:37,492
I'm guessing you whispered sweet
nothings about asteroid rights...
494
00:30:37,503 --> 00:30:41,466
Reed realized that the profit
potential in aerospace far outstripped
495
00:30:41,549 --> 00:30:43,926
whatever Sloan could
make in legacy media.
496
00:30:44,469 --> 00:30:49,140
Ad astra per aspera.
To infinity and beyond.
497
00:30:49,223 --> 00:30:52,101
Or whatever other bullshit
helps you sleep at night.
498
00:30:52,185 --> 00:30:53,649
- Thanks.
- This isn't personal, Cory.
499
00:30:53,660 --> 00:30:55,391
I'm gonna have to
disagree with you there
500
00:30:55,401 --> 00:30:57,637
because everything is personal.
501
00:30:57,869 --> 00:31:01,861
And every so-called business
decision, it lands on a human being.
502
00:31:01,944 --> 00:31:03,738
And in this case, there's
22,000 of them all...
503
00:31:03,821 --> 00:31:06,282
Okay. Okay, let's not
get so high-and-mighty.
504
00:31:06,365 --> 00:31:08,493
Maybe you protected
Bradley from the FBI,
505
00:31:08,576 --> 00:31:10,477
but you were also
very willing to exploit
506
00:31:10,487 --> 00:31:12,330
her personal life when it suited you.
507
00:31:12,413 --> 00:31:16,918
So maybe you're not the poster boy
for feminism that you think you are.
508
00:31:17,865 --> 00:31:19,868
Didn't leak that article
to protect Hannah Shoenfeld.
509
00:31:19,879 --> 00:31:21,308
You leaked it because you couldn't stand
510
00:31:21,318 --> 00:31:24,092
the idea of Bradley with Laura Peterson.
511
00:31:24,175 --> 00:31:27,512
So at least, for fuck's
sake, be honest with yourself.
512
00:31:29,639 --> 00:31:31,849
Now, you never assaulted anyone.
513
00:31:31,933 --> 00:31:34,102
So tomorrow, after the vote closes,
514
00:31:34,113 --> 00:31:38,826
I'm perfectly happy to... make the...
515
00:31:38,981 --> 00:31:43,319
investigation into these
Vault allegations go away.
516
00:31:44,195 --> 00:31:47,031
Along with any talk of FBI subpoenas.
517
00:31:47,615 --> 00:31:53,079
And, uh, I'm guessing in this
scenario I give up my golden parachute?
518
00:31:53,162 --> 00:31:54,372
You wanna leave with dignity?
519
00:31:55,123 --> 00:31:59,419
How's $10 million sound? Parting gift.
520
00:32:01,713 --> 00:32:03,131
I'll just need an NDA.
521
00:32:03,949 --> 00:32:04,957
Right.
522
00:32:04,969 --> 00:32:08,514
Guessing the kind where I can't
even say your name to my goldfish.
523
00:32:08,594 --> 00:32:10,763
Where we pretend in
perpetuity that you aren't
524
00:32:10,847 --> 00:32:15,017
the steaming rocket bitch
shitbag that you are.
525
00:32:15,101 --> 00:32:21,774
Goddamn, Alex really does
have the worst taste in men.
526
00:32:21,858 --> 00:32:25,236
Cory, I am offering you a lifeline.
527
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,365
Take the money.
528
00:32:46,682 --> 00:32:48,944
I would rather do time with the fucking
529
00:32:48,954 --> 00:32:51,353
Oath Keepers than take a penny from you.
530
00:32:57,268 --> 00:33:00,271
Lost my appetite.
531
00:33:32,261 --> 00:33:34,222
So the board meeting is tomorrow.
532
00:33:34,305 --> 00:33:36,260
And the remaining shareholders who
533
00:33:36,270 --> 00:33:38,017
haven't weighed in are gonna vote yes.
534
00:33:38,101 --> 00:33:41,938
And by noon, Paul will
have control of UBA
535
00:33:42,021 --> 00:33:44,982
and he will take it
apart piece by piece.
536
00:33:45,066 --> 00:33:46,526
Eighty years of history.
537
00:33:47,693 --> 00:33:51,197
But more stuff is going
to come out about me.
538
00:33:52,698 --> 00:33:56,035
And it is gonna make
me look like a monster.
539
00:33:58,913 --> 00:34:00,540
Some of it will be true.
540
00:34:02,792 --> 00:34:04,335
Some of it won't be. Doesn't matter.
541
00:34:05,201 --> 00:34:06,994
He's gonna try to bury me.
542
00:34:15,430 --> 00:34:17,390
Maybe I should have listened to you.
543
00:34:18,057 --> 00:34:19,809
Ah. Maybe I deserve it.
544
00:34:19,892 --> 00:34:22,145
Maybe I lost myself
in chasing all of this.
545
00:34:22,227 --> 00:34:24,647
Anyway, I just wanted
you to hear it from me.
546
00:34:27,942 --> 00:34:32,488
"Don't flinch." It's what
you always taught me, right?
547
00:34:34,157 --> 00:34:37,869
Gotta face things head-on,
see 'em for what they are.
548
00:34:48,296 --> 00:34:49,546
Night, Mom.
549
00:35:04,896 --> 00:35:06,606
What's going on?
550
00:35:09,233 --> 00:35:13,237
- Is the world ending?
- Mmm, not yet.
551
00:35:13,321 --> 00:35:15,782
It's all good.
552
00:35:15,865 --> 00:35:17,241
You getting any sleep?
553
00:35:18,076 --> 00:35:21,704
Not really. Such a big day tomorrow.
554
00:35:21,788 --> 00:35:25,458
Hmm. I'm glad you're gonna be there.
555
00:35:58,658 --> 00:36:03,121
So, the great day is finally upon us.
556
00:36:04,497 --> 00:36:05,998
11:40.
557
00:36:06,082 --> 00:36:07,667
There's still a few
votes coming through,
558
00:36:07,750 --> 00:36:10,253
but frankly, at this
point, it's a formality.
559
00:36:10,336 --> 00:36:14,340
Congratulations, Paul. At
noon we'll make it official.
560
00:36:14,424 --> 00:36:16,843
- Thank you, appreciate the support.
- Where's-Where's Alex?
561
00:36:17,427 --> 00:36:19,053
Uh, she should be on her way.
562
00:36:38,573 --> 00:36:39,866
Hey. There you are.
563
00:36:39,949 --> 00:36:41,117
Hi, here I am.
564
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,870
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
565
00:36:43,953 --> 00:36:46,481
Just processing everything that's about
566
00:36:46,491 --> 00:36:50,460
to happen, how we got here.
567
00:36:52,745 --> 00:36:54,705
Just really hope it was all worth it.
568
00:36:55,437 --> 00:36:58,540
It will be. In 15 minutes,
this will all be behind us.
569
00:36:58,551 --> 00:36:59,761
Mmm.
570
00:37:02,388 --> 00:37:04,474
Okay, gentlemen. Here we are.
571
00:37:04,557 --> 00:37:06,184
Ah, Alex.
572
00:37:06,267 --> 00:37:07,727
Hello. Good to see you.
573
00:37:07,810 --> 00:37:08,853
Leonard.
574
00:37:09,545 --> 00:37:11,567
Well, we're close to the finish line and
575
00:37:11,577 --> 00:37:13,013
we couldn't have got there without you.
576
00:37:13,024 --> 00:37:15,401
Hmm. Excuse me.
577
00:37:15,485 --> 00:37:17,820
Uh, Paul, before I forget, um...
578
00:37:44,251 --> 00:37:46,493
While we have a few minutes,
579
00:37:46,503 --> 00:37:48,591
I have an idea I'd like
to run by everybody.
580
00:37:52,021 --> 00:37:54,899
Oh, uh, maybe we save the
brainstorming for another day?
581
00:37:54,982 --> 00:37:56,359
Let's just get this done.
582
00:37:57,318 --> 00:37:59,987
I have an alternative
to Hyperion's offer.
583
00:38:00,071 --> 00:38:02,240
- What is going on?
- Excuse me?
584
00:38:06,452 --> 00:38:08,496
I've been consulting with NBN,
585
00:38:08,579 --> 00:38:13,751
their CEO Elena Daniels,
Laura Peterson at YDA.
586
00:38:13,835 --> 00:38:18,631
And we have drafted a few deal points
for a merger between NBN and UBA.
587
00:38:19,579 --> 00:38:21,742
I have a prospectus that I would like to
588
00:38:21,752 --> 00:38:23,875
share so you could all see the numbers.
589
00:38:23,886 --> 00:38:26,013
Would you please pass those down
there, please? Thank you so much.
590
00:38:26,097 --> 00:38:28,558
And I'm very aware that
this is last minute.
591
00:38:30,852 --> 00:38:33,396
Alex, I simply don't understand.
592
00:38:33,479 --> 00:38:35,523
I don't think anyone here does.
593
00:38:35,606 --> 00:38:37,900
I believe you have a
fiduciary responsibility
594
00:38:37,984 --> 00:38:43,156
to entertain any offers that
may match or exceed Hyperion's.
595
00:38:44,866 --> 00:38:46,033
Very well.
596
00:38:48,911 --> 00:38:50,288
A merger of equals.
597
00:38:50,776 --> 00:38:52,152
That's what we're proposing.
598
00:38:52,947 --> 00:38:57,034
Two entities coming together,
greater than the sum of their parts.
599
00:38:58,463 --> 00:39:03,426
NBN and UBA will combine
resources to reduce costs,
600
00:39:03,926 --> 00:39:06,179
ad sales, tech support,
601
00:39:06,804 --> 00:39:10,725
accounting, even programming.
602
00:39:12,101 --> 00:39:13,853
It's a chance to start over.
603
00:39:14,687 --> 00:39:16,731
To do things right for once.
604
00:39:18,316 --> 00:39:19,484
A true partnership.
605
00:39:22,862 --> 00:39:24,363
Alex, I'd like a word.
606
00:39:25,948 --> 00:39:27,742
I'll give you all a
second to look this over.
607
00:39:29,077 --> 00:39:31,245
What the fuck is that all about?
This is insane. What are you...
608
00:39:31,256 --> 00:39:34,248
- Not here.
- What is this? Some kind of stunt?
609
00:39:34,332 --> 00:39:35,500
This is not a stunt.
610
00:39:35,583 --> 00:39:36,959
- What are you doing?
- Not here.
611
00:39:37,043 --> 00:39:38,503
I have the votes.
612
00:39:38,586 --> 00:39:41,130
Don't you realize there's literally
nothing you can do at this point?
613
00:39:43,966 --> 00:39:44,967
Hi, Paul.
614
00:39:46,803 --> 00:39:49,806
Okay. I'm not doing this.
615
00:39:51,224 --> 00:39:54,060
We know you told Kate to cut the
transmission on the rocket launch
616
00:39:54,143 --> 00:39:56,813
to hide the fact that your
navigation system malfunctioned.
617
00:39:57,438 --> 00:39:58,689
You buried the results.
618
00:39:58,773 --> 00:40:01,442
You used a hack at UBA
to cover your tracks.
619
00:40:01,659 --> 00:40:03,219
Super convenient timing.
620
00:40:03,230 --> 00:40:05,321
So you think I hacked you? Okay, Stella.
621
00:40:05,332 --> 00:40:08,835
You have been reporting
fake data to NASA for months.
622
00:40:08,846 --> 00:40:11,957
And when I told you a longer
space flight could be lethal,
623
00:40:12,211 --> 00:40:13,568
you fired me.
624
00:40:13,579 --> 00:40:16,249
You had us behind schedule
and hemorrhaging cash.
625
00:40:16,332 --> 00:40:18,876
That's why you were let go,
because you were bad at your job.
626
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,505
No. No, you fired me because you
didn't wanna hear the truth, Paul.
627
00:40:22,792 --> 00:40:24,449
And then when I tried
to blow the whistle,
628
00:40:24,460 --> 00:40:26,289
you shut me down and you threatened me
629
00:40:26,299 --> 00:40:27,708
and everyone else who would speak up.
630
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,430
No, you were shut down
because you signed an NDA
631
00:40:30,513 --> 00:40:35,006
- which you have now clearly violated.
- Well, I have proof.
632
00:40:35,017 --> 00:40:38,521
I have emails, I have files, I
have videos, I have everything.
633
00:40:39,066 --> 00:40:42,156
Alex, what do you want? What?
634
00:40:42,836 --> 00:40:44,475
What do you want?
635
00:40:52,607 --> 00:40:55,527
Alex, can you please just tell me
what the fuck this is all about?
636
00:40:55,538 --> 00:40:58,249
God. Do I really have to
spell this out for you?
637
00:40:58,332 --> 00:40:59,584
Yes! Please.
638
00:41:00,251 --> 00:41:06,716
You surveilled Bradley,
then blackmailed her into resigning.
639
00:41:07,425 --> 00:41:09,469
You silenced a journalist.
640
00:41:11,387 --> 00:41:13,973
- I'm a journalist.
- You want this vote not to happen?
641
00:41:14,057 --> 00:41:15,558
I can go right back
in that conference room
642
00:41:15,641 --> 00:41:17,810
and delay it until we
can figure this out.
643
00:41:17,894 --> 00:41:22,690
"We"? We can figure this
out? We can figure this out?
644
00:41:25,234 --> 00:41:27,655
You did this. You did all of this.
645
00:41:27,665 --> 00:41:29,489
I can't... I can't come back from this.
646
00:41:29,572 --> 00:41:30,907
I did this to protect you.
647
00:41:30,918 --> 00:41:34,213
To protect us, everything
we have been working towards.
648
00:41:39,290 --> 00:41:41,417
Just walk away from UBA right now.
649
00:41:42,668 --> 00:41:44,837
And make it right with
the people you hurt.
650
00:41:46,798 --> 00:41:50,843
Come clean to NASA...
651
00:41:51,761 --> 00:41:54,847
or we'll run the story and end Hyperion.
652
00:42:20,373 --> 00:42:21,999
Tell Leonard I'm
pulling out of the deal.
653
00:42:30,466 --> 00:42:31,999
You'll hear from my lawyers.
654
00:43:14,052 --> 00:43:15,344
- Come on, I've got it.
- Okay.
655
00:43:15,428 --> 00:43:18,514
- Not bad. Whoo!
- Whoo! Oh.
656
00:43:24,937 --> 00:43:26,981
Wow.
657
00:43:29,108 --> 00:43:30,193
You got this...
658
00:43:32,862 --> 00:43:33,863
Ooh!
659
00:43:39,284 --> 00:43:40,358
I mean, come on.
660
00:43:40,369 --> 00:43:42,997
I mean, not... not bad for a
couple of desk jockeys, all right.
661
00:43:43,081 --> 00:43:44,415
I mean, I gotta work on my moves
662
00:43:44,499 --> 00:43:47,502
but next time we're gonna Naatu
Naatu all over this place. We are.
663
00:43:47,585 --> 00:43:49,587
We'll be right back. You were great.
664
00:43:52,256 --> 00:43:56,010
- They are so good together.
- So good. I know.
665
00:43:56,094 --> 00:43:59,055
I'm doing everything I can
to talk Chris out of leaving.
666
00:43:59,138 --> 00:44:02,225
Oh, well. I don't blame her. I
mean, the writing is on the wall.
667
00:44:02,850 --> 00:44:05,269
This merger goes through,
there's not gonna be two CEOs,
668
00:44:05,353 --> 00:44:07,313
two evening anchors, two Morning Shows.
669
00:44:07,397 --> 00:44:09,371
There's gonna be layoffs
and buyouts and...
670
00:44:09,422 --> 00:44:10,424
Okay.
671
00:44:10,483 --> 00:44:12,360
You're not thinking about
going anywhere, are you?
672
00:44:12,443 --> 00:44:14,821
Uh, I would love a trip to Bali.
673
00:44:16,531 --> 00:44:19,575
But... not until I know
my team is protected
674
00:44:20,201 --> 00:44:22,453
and the changes that we
talked about are real.
675
00:44:22,537 --> 00:44:23,746
They are real.
676
00:44:23,830 --> 00:44:26,833
I'm gonna make them real, Mia.
It's happening, I can see it.
677
00:44:26,916 --> 00:44:28,710
No more corporate bullshit.
678
00:44:28,900 --> 00:44:32,153
Someone with an actual fresh
take sitting in the big office.
679
00:44:33,423 --> 00:44:34,632
Like you?
680
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,099
Can you talk about
your time at the Archer Gray?
681
00:44:44,267 --> 00:44:47,270
Mr. Ellison put you up
there. Is that correct?
682
00:44:48,980 --> 00:44:52,275
Uh, yes. I mean, I don't
know if he did or the show.
683
00:44:52,358 --> 00:44:53,401
I'm not sure.
684
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,864
Did it make you uncomfortable?
Being so close to Mr. Ellison?
685
00:44:58,948 --> 00:45:00,825
- No.
- Did you ever feel unsafe?
686
00:45:01,322 --> 00:45:02,322
No.
687
00:45:02,333 --> 00:45:04,377
But he was around, right?
688
00:45:04,454 --> 00:45:06,748
I mean, the hotel staff told us
he spent a lot of time with you.
689
00:45:06,831 --> 00:45:09,917
Late night phone calls,
visited you in your room.
690
00:45:10,793 --> 00:45:13,337
Did you ever sense he
had feelings for you?
691
00:45:13,421 --> 00:45:14,881
Saw you as more than a colleague?
692
00:45:20,386 --> 00:45:22,513
There was one night.
693
00:45:25,308 --> 00:45:28,394
One night when...
694
00:45:32,607 --> 00:45:33,775
He told me he loved me.
695
00:45:36,069 --> 00:45:37,320
How did you respond?
696
00:45:41,199 --> 00:45:46,037
I left. I went to Montana, and
I stayed there for a long time.
697
00:45:48,081 --> 00:45:49,707
Because you were afraid?
698
00:45:51,793 --> 00:45:54,420
Yes, I w... I was afraid.
699
00:45:55,630 --> 00:45:59,175
Of retaliation if you
didn't return his feelings?
700
00:45:59,884 --> 00:46:03,054
No. No, I was afraid because...
701
00:46:05,306 --> 00:46:07,308
he saw me for who I really was.
702
00:46:08,768 --> 00:46:10,144
Everything about me.
703
00:46:14,524 --> 00:46:17,276
And I was afraid I could never
be with someone like that.
704
00:46:34,252 --> 00:46:37,193
- Hey.
- God, who scheduled these
705
00:46:37,203 --> 00:46:39,340
sessions back-to-back and side by side?
706
00:46:39,351 --> 00:46:41,570
I don't know. I already talked to them.
707
00:46:41,581 --> 00:46:43,458
I'm just waiting to see
if they need anything else.
708
00:46:43,469 --> 00:46:45,012
Oh, gotcha.
709
00:46:45,096 --> 00:46:47,223
Well, sorry that they
dragged you back in here.
710
00:46:47,807 --> 00:46:49,851
Hey, how was it being home?
711
00:46:50,893 --> 00:46:54,939
Oh, uh, it was good. It was
good to see Hal, you know.
712
00:46:59,694 --> 00:47:04,991
So, um, I did some pretty awful things.
713
00:47:05,616 --> 00:47:07,493
And some of them I did to you.
714
00:47:09,579 --> 00:47:11,622
It wasn't okay. Any of it.
715
00:47:11,706 --> 00:47:13,082
No, it's not.
716
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,502
But I think I know why you did them.
717
00:47:17,295 --> 00:47:18,838
But it's not all right.
718
00:47:18,921 --> 00:47:19,922
I know.
719
00:47:21,215 --> 00:47:23,801
But don't worry, I... I think
you'll be fine.
720
00:47:27,013 --> 00:47:29,182
Well, I'm still the architect
of the biggest failed deal
721
00:47:29,265 --> 00:47:30,933
of the 21st century, so...
722
00:47:31,768 --> 00:47:33,644
Biggest failed deal so far.
723
00:47:33,728 --> 00:47:36,814
Hey, that's the spirit.
724
00:47:37,982 --> 00:47:42,570
Will you stay at UBA or UBNBA
or whatever they're calling it?
725
00:47:42,653 --> 00:47:45,323
Oh, I don't know. I guess
we'll see how things shake out.
726
00:47:50,495 --> 00:47:52,663
Uh...
727
00:47:53,915 --> 00:47:56,292
See you when I see you?
728
00:47:57,877 --> 00:47:59,087
Yeah.
729
00:48:03,383 --> 00:48:04,592
Cory.
730
00:48:05,593 --> 00:48:06,677
Yeah?
731
00:48:07,512 --> 00:48:08,846
Bradley, we're ready for you.
732
00:48:09,472 --> 00:48:10,973
Oh, I'll be just a minute.
733
00:48:17,188 --> 00:48:18,398
I'll miss you.
734
00:48:23,945 --> 00:48:24,946
You too.
735
00:49:49,447 --> 00:49:50,698
Little chilly tonight, huh?
736
00:49:56,454 --> 00:49:58,414
Thanks for packing me up.
737
00:49:59,499 --> 00:50:01,812
Yes, of course. I think, um,
738
00:50:02,017 --> 00:50:05,404
that was everything, but
please look around if...
739
00:50:05,421 --> 00:50:06,464
I'm sure you got it all.
740
00:50:11,427 --> 00:50:14,931
So you're, um, gonna go to Texas?
741
00:50:15,014 --> 00:50:17,141
Yeah. Not sure how it's gonna play out.
742
00:50:17,225 --> 00:50:21,479
NASA seems to be
stepping back for the time being.
743
00:50:21,562 --> 00:50:24,524
And...
744
00:50:24,607 --> 00:50:28,528
most likely have to sell off
a majority share in my company,
745
00:50:28,611 --> 00:50:32,490
if there's a company to still sell.
746
00:50:38,704 --> 00:50:40,665
You know, I've been
playing it back in my head.
747
00:50:44,127 --> 00:50:45,336
Everything that went down.
748
00:50:48,965 --> 00:50:51,134
I made some, um, mistakes.
749
00:50:54,762 --> 00:50:56,139
More than mistakes.
750
00:50:57,974 --> 00:50:59,353
Yeah, I know.
751
00:51:05,898 --> 00:51:11,571
Oh, God, I so... I wanted a partner.
752
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:14,240
You had one.
753
00:51:15,908 --> 00:51:19,996
One I could trust.
754
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:22,540
Mmm.
755
00:51:25,752 --> 00:51:27,003
Alex, I...
756
00:51:34,886 --> 00:51:37,138
God, I wish we'd taken that
helicopter anywhere else.
757
00:51:44,228 --> 00:51:45,481
I know.
758
00:51:47,648 --> 00:51:50,902
But we didn't. So...
759
00:52:27,230 --> 00:52:30,274
Shoot.
760
00:53:06,477 --> 00:53:10,440
Remaking this place. Just,
doing it without you feels wrong.
761
00:53:10,523 --> 00:53:14,235
Hey. You can. This is
what you've always advocated for.
762
00:53:14,318 --> 00:53:16,946
You're gonna have a real
voice in this new company.
763
00:53:17,655 --> 00:53:18,865
Careful what you fight for.
764
00:53:18,948 --> 00:53:20,283
Like...
765
00:53:20,366 --> 00:53:22,702
When you dragged me into UBA?
766
00:53:22,785 --> 00:53:25,413
God, what would I have
done if you didn't come in
767
00:53:25,496 --> 00:53:28,499
and take the doors off the hinges?
768
00:53:28,583 --> 00:53:31,252
Honestly, I would've been still
fighting with that fucker, Fred.
769
00:53:31,335 --> 00:53:35,548
Cybil. Geez. Maggie.
770
00:53:35,631 --> 00:53:38,885
I'd still be doing...
one-man-band reporting
771
00:53:38,968 --> 00:53:42,096
in God knows where, wondering
if that's all there was.
772
00:53:42,180 --> 00:53:43,765
Oh.
773
00:53:44,557 --> 00:53:49,520
Hey, I... I wanted to, um... I
just wanted to say, about Paul...
774
00:53:50,146 --> 00:53:53,107
Oh, please. Honey, I'm so okay. Really.
775
00:53:53,191 --> 00:53:55,234
He helped me let go of a lot of stuff.
776
00:53:55,318 --> 00:53:59,113
- Then no regrets.
- No. No regrets.
777
00:54:01,407 --> 00:54:04,202
Okay.
778
00:54:05,036 --> 00:54:06,788
Okay, honey. You're just
gonna breathe now, okay?
779
00:54:06,871 --> 00:54:10,917
Yeah, I'm trying. I just don't
know how this is gonna go.
780
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,836
You're doing the right
thing. You're doing the only thing.
781
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:15,463
Hey, I'll... I'll be right there.
782
00:54:19,342 --> 00:54:21,427
Okay, I better go
before I change my mind.
783
00:54:25,098 --> 00:54:28,017
I'm here for you if you need
anything. Anything at all.
784
00:54:28,101 --> 00:54:30,061
- And you're gonna be okay.
- I don't know.
785
00:54:30,072 --> 00:54:32,616
Yes. You are.
786
00:54:33,314 --> 00:54:35,191
Okay.
787
00:54:36,692 --> 00:54:39,320
- You got this.
- Yeah, okay.
788
00:54:39,864 --> 00:54:40,894
- Breathe.
- Okay.
789
00:54:40,905 --> 00:54:43,324
Okay. Go on.
790
00:54:59,048 --> 00:55:00,258
Bye.
791
