You want to discuss a column?
DONNA: Uh, it's not a column.

It's a feature, actually.

Uh, Helen, thank you so much

I just want to get your comments
on a few things.

Firstly, is it true that your

We can decline to comment, yeah?

LINDSAY: She's not gonna comment.

This is a bullshit story,

Noels, what are you wearing?

Noels, what are you wearing?

I've got to go

It's a big story.
London's plummeted.

The Dow's dropped 500 points.
New Zealand's about to open.

But, hey,

Yes.

I tell you what,
I do like those shoes.

Let's just go.

Alright.

Morning.
Noelene!

You look great.

New Zealand's opened
and they've crashed too.

The drop on the Dow
is double the Great Depression.

There's already unconfirmed reports
of suicides on Wall Street.

We're wanting to get one of you
out on the market floor

We're wanting to get one of you
for the opening of trading.

for the opening of trading.

(KNOCKS) Hi.

Um, do you have a minute?

Sorry. If we want to make opening,
we really need to leave soon.

It's just five minutes.

Yeah, sure. Come in.

Take a...take a seat.

Is everything alright?

Um...

..I know there's been
some personal...

..details about you
that have spread, and...

..there's a chance
they might have come from me.

Not on purpose. I'm not a gossip.

Um, but...um, there...
there was a moment

where I wasn't thinking
and I might have told someone...

where I wasn't thinking
..about your surname.

..about your surname.

Who?

Evelyn Walters.

Mrs Walters, um, she would

book me for special events,
Mrs Walters, um, she would

book me for special events,

and...and she'd make me drinks,
and...and we'd talk, and I...

I realised that sh...

..I stopped going because I...
..she might not be that trustworthy.

..she might not be that trustworthy.

What exactly did you say?

Uh...

..well, once, she was asking, um,

whether your families
would want you to get engaged,

and I didn't think anything of it,
so I just said,

"Helen's not that close
with her family."

And then I, um...

..yeah, said about your last name
and your sister...

Cheryl, can you call Evelyn Walters
right now and explain to her what...

Cheryl, can you call Evelyn Walters
I'm gonna go talk to her myself.

I'm gonna go talk to her myself.

Sorry, but if we don't leave
pretty much right now...

You're gonna have to
take a reporter.

No! The other reporters have gone.
I'm really sorry.

No! The other reporters have gone.

Nah. I think the, uh, panic's
a bit overblown, to be honest.

Overblown? So you're not nervous

Oh, look, our fundamentals are
way better than Wall Street.

Oh, look, our fundamentals are

the most consequential day

on the Australian Stock Exchange
possibly since the 1920s.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)
(COMMOTION ON RADIO)

As you can hear, there is an...
Oh. I'll go.

..immediate frenzy on the floor.

Stockbrokers are reporting

that most of their buying orders
have been cancelled

that most of their buying orders
and instead the move is to sell.

and instead the move is to sell.

HELEN: Evelyn.

You are a fucking bitch.

Helen.
I mean, I knew that you were low.

But I didn't think
even you would stoop this low.

I didn't think
that even you were capable of that.

I'm sorry. I don't know
what you're referring to.

HELEN: You know exactly
what I'm referring to!

Your wife has taken the
most intimate and private details,

my psychiatric history, and she has
leaked them to a gossip columnist!

That's absurd.
HELEN: Deliberately.

You have done nothing with your life

except stand in the shadows
and try and tear everyone down,

and the fact that you both stand
on this moral high ground,

looking down your nose
and judging everyone!

I want you to know
that I know exactly who you are,

and I know exactly
what you both stand for.

If people are questioning
your psychiatric state, Helen,

If people are questioning
it's hardly a surprise!

it's hardly a surprise!

I'm...I'm sure you can appreciate
it's a very...

Now, Dale...

..it's time for you
to remove yourself from our property

and to control
that clearly unwell woman.

EVELYN: Thank you.

I've got one last idea.

I think we should go see Donna alone.

Gerry said if we promise to
prioritise her for future stories...

I...I don't want her
in our lives, Dale.

I...I don't want her
But we could offer her a major story.

But we could offer her a major story.

What if we offer her...

..an engagement?

What about an exclusive

Was that...was that...

(LAUGHS) It's...

how I wanted it to go, but...

something really valuable.

Dale, there are some things that
I just would never want to trade.

ROB: (ON TV) Although the crisis
affects everyone on this floor,

it's the small investors
who claim they'll suffer the most.

MAN: (ON TV)

Is there a phone call for me?

Charles Tate rang

He's at his office.
Thank you.

How long's he been on the phone?

How long's he been on the phone?

I'd like to apologise...

I'd say it was
more than an insinuation.

Well, I'm very sorry.

LINDSAY: Dennis!

That call had nothing to do
with our reporting today.

Little Chuck is sunk.

He's lost the banks.

He was calling to say
they're all abandoning ship.

Am I interrupting?

So now we're being polite?

It's interesting.

Is all this as bad as it seems?

For me personally or for the world?

HELEN: For you personally.

Well...

..half my backers have deserted me.

The other half... (SIGHS)

..I'm promising there's gonna be
a rebound, which is bullshit,

and they know it.

So...

And are you still my boss?

(LAUGHS)

Yes.

I believe I am,
maybe for the next 48 hours or so.

I don't know. Maybe less.

Oh, I did get hold of Astley for you.

He doesn't like to intervene
editorially, but what he HAS said is

he's gonna make a couple of calls,

and that's all I can get for you now.

Sorry.

I actually think that my...

Oh, yes.
Yeah. Thank you.

Do you want me to ask?

I think it's gonna say...

..I was in...

..a mental institution.

And I was treated for schizophrenia.

Shit.

HELEN: Mmm.

Well, full credit to Donna.

I'd buy that paper.

Yeah, me too.

Is it true?

I was treated for schizophrenia.

I'm not schizophrenic.

I was treated for manic depression.

I was just...

..stuck in this borderland
of neurosis and psychosis.

I love being married.

But you're not in a...

Your marriage is not conventional.

It's not a...

No, but it's much better for us.

I don't think marriage

No.

Hm.

You think I'm deluding myself.

(LAUGHS) No.

No. I see how much you love her.

(SIGHS)

I feel like the way I love
doesn't fit in anywhere.

I feel like the way I love
And...

And...

..I've been ashamed of that
for a really long time.

But I love Helen.

And I think that's all that matters.

But maybe if things were different...

..maybe if I'd never met her...
(SIGHS)

..it would be someone else.

But so much of what I feel

comes from how I feel about her,

so...I don't know.

I'm probably not making any sense.
No, no, you're making perfect sense.

And if that's how you feel,
