You don't get into journalism
to get rich

but we have a different kind
of currency to trade.

Secrets.

It's a real rush to be in on secrets

that the masters of the universe
don't want you to know

and then expose them to the world.

But keeping our own secrets buried

we kinda suck at that.

I had a dodgy burner phone
that could lead to an explosive story

and a regrettable booty call.

That could ruin my career.

So where do you go

when you've got secrets to bury
and sin to cover up?

Vegas, baby.

Bruce. Hey.

You get an answer from Walker yet?

Well, why... why does
she want to be president?

We need a response.

I'm... I'm so close.

Sadie. It's a simple question.

We need a response
from every candidate.

You know, Dale, he's already gotten
his answer from the front-runner.

I'm trying,
but she's not taking questions.

She won't even tell us
her Dunkin' order.

Well, keep trying.

Anything on the burner?

I... have been checking in every
30 seconds for the last week.

You don't think
I'd tell you if they ring?

I got nada. No messages.

I can't even figure out the number.

Use it to call your own phone.
Then if you...

Thank you. Thank you so much
for mansplaining phones to me.

I obviously tried that.

It says no caller ID.

See if you can get special projects
to look into the burner phone.

Keep me posted
if they find any leads.

Bye.

Eric, I'm sorry, but I mean,
it's just not a good time.

The primary is in two days.

It is never a good time.

Are we supposed to wait
till after the inauguration

To get the invites out?

Yes?

Okay, look, I'm sorry.

It looks like Walker
is doing pooled events tomorrow

so I should have some time
to hang out at the hotel

and get some invites done, okay?

I will do it.

I love you.

Love you, too.

It's not gonna happen.

It's a fine line between
being queen of the scoop

and queen of being all up
in other people's business, huh?

Just offering friendly advice
to someone

who's been mostly happily married
for a very long time

aside from a brief breakup in '96

but I blame Ross Perot for that.

It doesn't matter.

The point is
you can't be on call for him.

Text in the morning, text at night

emoji in the afternoon, if you must

and maybe a tit pic
on your anniversary.

Did you just ignore
a call from your daughter?

She's been blowing off
my calls for weeks

and Jon Ralston
just released a new poll.

Oh, shit.

I'll call her back.

Hollywood Action Star
and Elder Statesman locked in a tie.

How is that even possible?

Maybe because no one gives a shit
about experience anymore.

I have known that man
since I was four

and he was
White House Chief of Staff.

He is a good person
and a devoted public servant

who has survived
for decades in politics.

It is humiliating
that he even has to run

against a guy who's famous
for wearing a latex onesie.

Sadie, I just got this e-mail.

Do you know what it means?

Oh, looks like we are spending
the day in a pool tomorrow.

Pools are bullshit.

Oh, amazing.

Hey, can I get a round of Patrón
for the girls?

- No. Oh, no.
- What?

Rule number four.

No tequila the night
before an early call time.

- Oh, come on.
- Oh, whatever.

What is the point of being in Vegas

on an expense account
if you can't let loose?

- I let loose. I booked a facial.
- Yeah.

One toast to overthrowing
elitist corporate media.

- Not toasting to that.
- Come on.

- Tequila.
- Grace, it's just one.

Okay, fine. Okay, fine.

One shot to being stuck
on that bus with you crazy bitches.

- Yeah.
- Yas.

Oh, fuck. The charger.

If you ring while I am gone,
I will fucking kill you.

Hello.

We're live in Las Vegas

where two of the leading
Democratic candidates

one of whom is simply too old
to be in the race

are slugging it out.

Is this a campaign or Cocoon?

I think what is clear here

is that the Democrats
would rather fight each other

because they have no plan
to fight for the middle class.

Yes, you are killing it.

Greta said ratings
haven't been this high

since that segment
on preschoolers in Portland

doing a terrorist fist jab
during the pledge.

Let's give the people what they want.

Okay, on background.

The Senator will be making
several retail stops today

to speak to real Nevadans about...

As opposed to fake Nevadans?

About real solutions.

Our first OTR will be a...

I didn't realize we were including
influencers in the pool.

We prefer content creators, cunt.

Okay.

What... what the hell
are you wearing?

Don't fat shame me. You don't have
to be a size two to be smokin'.

No. Why are you wearing a bikini?

Because you said
we're in the pool today.

No, no. Look, look, we...
we are not going to a pool.

We are the pool.
The protective press pool.

Right...

Like corporate media talk
and all that bullshit.

What does that mean?

Okay. Come with me.
We're gonna... Yeah.

- Take your bags?
- Thank you so much.

The... the pool
is a rotating group...

Let's go out here.

The pool is...
is a rotating group of reporters

that follow the candidate
wherever they go

when there's not enough room
for all of us.

So, like, one reporter reps print...

You. That's you.

Yes. Thank you,
for knowing what I do.

Another reps broadcast.

One for digital, etc.

Our job is to protect
the rest of the media

so they don't miss out in case
something major happens.

Like in '63

when JFK was shot and LBJ
was sworn in

the pool was there.

9/11, when George Bush
kept reading to school children

while the Twin Towers were burning.

Fuck.

- That's heavy.
- Yeah.

Look, Lola, I...
I respect the shit out of you

wanting to change the game.

Fuck corporate media. All of it.
I... I love it.

But maybe... maybe learn the rules
before you break 'em.

- Yeah, I hear that.
- Okay.

Where is the van?
We're gonna miss the motorcade.

No, it was a 2000 RNC.

Philly?

- New York City in 2004.
- Right. Right.

The re-election.

I thought Karl Rove was going
to choke on his cheesecake

when you reached out for comment.

Then Cheney comes in
and threatens to sue you.

And I hear this polite
but firm voice say

"Oh, please do, Mr. Vice President."

- "That would make one hell
- "That would make one hell

- of a follow-up."
- of a follow-up."

It would have.

Do you need to get that?

All good.

Why am I here, John?

You know he's the man for the job.

He needs you to write this piece.

Grace, he asked for you personally.

Rambo cannot win the nomination.

You know I don't do portraiture.

I know.

If you want a puff piece on your boss

I'll need something in return.

You'll get it.

Do this for us and you'll always have
a friend in the campaign.

And in the White House.

The strength of our country

has always been
that despite our problems

- we work together to move forward.
- Yeah.

- Because our tomorrow begins today.
- "Begins today."

Yeah.

I'm literally dying right now.

- Told you. Pool is boring AF.
- Okay.

I hope you've had a chance
to enjoy the breakfast.

The pastries are out of this world.

You have one new message.

Sadie McCarthy.
It's your favorite mayor.

You promised me a profile
if I was still in by Nevada.

So, what do you say?

- Hi. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

- Yeah, Senator Walker...
- Senator Walker, Senator Walker.

Why do you want to be president?

- It's very exciting.
- It's been a while.

- I could definitely...
- Senator.

One question for the Sentinel.
Why do you want to be...

Every other candidate has answered.

Senator! Senator!

Do you have time for some questions
for LasVegaist.com?

Yeah, sure.

Well, she's not ignoring that guy.

Welcome to Las Vegas.

So, how do you plan
to help small businesses?

- Yes.
- Are you fucking serious?

You know, if you want to put in
a formal request

- we can find some time...
- I don't need your help.

Loading. On background.

The next OTR will be
at a YMCA in Henderson

where the Senator will be speaking
to real Nevadans

about real solutions.

- So how does...
- All right.

Mr. Mayor.

Hi. Yes. Where should I meet you?

Yeah, I got it.

Okay, I'll be there. Thank you.

- Hey, what are you doing?
- I'm outta here.

You saw that shit.
She's deliberately fucking with me.

Enjoy that LasVegaist.com bounce

'cause the Sentinel is late
to profile a candidate

who actually talks to me.

Okay. Wait, Sadie, we can leave?
Can I leave?

No, you can't leave. You have to stay

in case something happens

but nothing's gonna happen.
Okay, bye.

Yo, Bruce. Walker's still ignoring me
and being boring

so I'm catching an Uber

to work on a Styles story.
I'm calling it

"Portrait of a Candidate
Who Doesn't Stand a Chance."

Yeah, and I think so, too.

Greta said they're loving
your takedowns of Grandpa.

- Keep 'em coming.
- I mean, it's not personal.

His foreign policy
is why no one respects us anymore

- and his domestic agenda
- Yep, yep. Yeah.

Cal Swanson wants you
on primetime tomorrow night.

- What? Are you serious?
- Primary night!

Okay. Yes, got it. Thank you.

- Oh, my god.
- Oh, my god.

This is... this is huge.

Okay, but we gotta prep big time

because Greta says
Cal's not afraid to eat his own

so, I'm gonna grab my stuff.
I'll meet you in 20?

No, let's say 15.
We have a lot of work to do.

- Cal fucking Swanson?
- Cal fucking Swanson.

You have officially arrived.

Oh, my god. Okay. Okay.

Hey, baby.

Eric, hi. What... what are you doing?

What are you doing here?

I wanted to surprise you.

Mission accomplished.

Hi.

Hey.

Hold on. Just a second.

- Just a second.
- What?

Hey, Gary.

Yeah, can we...
can we make that an hour?

Okay. Bye.

An hour, huh?

- Look at this.
- Oh, my god.

I remember that dress.

Yeah, the Easter Egg Roll.

Your dad was the White House
correspondent at the Post.

Biggest pain in my ass.

Mine, too.

John, figure out
how to send this to her.

Will do.

And how is... how is Charlie?

And your daughter, Annie, right?

Charlie's been away for months,
finally finishing his book.

And Annie is a freshman
at Northwestern.

I remember when she was born.

I had to leave the G6 early.

All right, Mr. Secretary.

Here we go.

Look in today's economy

we should be making it easier,
not harder

- for folks to join a union.
- That's right.

And for those hardworking Americans
who can't join unions...

Since Walker was icing me out

I decided to focus
on another candidate.

Hot White Guy may not have
stood a chance at winning

and listening to him drone on about
unions wasn't particularly exciting.

But, hey, at least
I was enjoying the view.

- Double.
- Oh, yeah.

If you're horny, let's do it.

Ride it, my pony.
My saddle is waiting.

As I traveled around your state

I've met tons of hardworking people

who are working more and more hours

and bringing home smaller
and smaller paychecks...

Please tell me Special Projects
has made progress on my burner.

Not yet.

But we did get an anonymous call
on the tip line.

- It's about Walker.
- Tip line. Are you kidding me?

Do you not remember last cycle?

They claimed she was running
a cannibal operation

out of a steakhouse?

Yeah. Well, Prime Rib Gate
was not our finest moment.

Just listen.

This message is for Sadie McCarthy.

I've been reading your articles.

Walker is not who you think she is.

I have credible evidence
of widespread wrongdoing

that will engulf her campaign.

That's it?

How do we know that this person
isn't just another crackpot?

We don't. That's your job.

He left a number. So write this down.

202-555-0198.

Okay, got it. Bye.

Paper of Record.

- Hey there.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Did you catch any of that?

Yeah, totally.

Labor unions. So important.

So important. Exactly.

But look, I'm glad I finally got you
to a campaign event.

Should we walk and talk?

- Let's... Yeah, let's do it.
- Great.

That was something necessary.

Hey. I missed you, baby.

I missed you, too.

I am so happy you came.

And I have so much work to do.

No, s... But really,
I have a lotta work.

Yeah.

I'm... I'm sorry.

It's just that on the phone
you said you were trying to...

You know, look over venues.

No, no. Yeah, I know,
and I... I said that, but...

Okay, so, maybe, like,
united front, you know.

We... we go over some venues
and menus.

Team up to get my mother
off our backs.

What if...

What if we just got married
right now?

There's a chapel downstairs.
I'm serious.

It could be really romantic.

What do you say?

Will you be the Elvis
to my Priscilla?

So let me get this straight.

We rented out Lucien
for your half birthday

and now you want to get married
at a drive-through wedding window?

No. Obviously, if you don't want
to do it, we don't have to do...

You...

Do you not wanna get married?

I didn't...
Of course, I wanna get married.

I didn't say
I didn't wanna get married.

I've waited eight years to marry you.

Yeah, so did I

which is why
I wanted it to be, you know...

Yeah.

No, you're... you're right.

It was a crazy idea.

- I'll make time today.
- So we're doing this?

Yes.

We're doing this.

Well, we have
to do our part to ensure

that we have the capabilities
and the skills to be competitive.

I'm sorry, but I... I have to ask.

What do you say to allegations

that you don't have the stamina
to be commander-in-chief?

We almost done here?

We have a meeting
with the SEIU at three.

Ah, yes.

Of course. It was lovely seeing you.

And please do send me that picture.

Give my best to your family.

And yours.

Are we on time? Okay, let's go.

Right away, sir.

What the fuck was that?

Why were his hands so shaky?

That was off the record.

- I'm writing it.
- Writing what?

So the man gets tired.

He works 20-hour days,
talking nonstop...

Sell it to someone else.

I'm not buying it, John.

Well, what will it take for you
to get off this?

You have 12 hours

to get me his medical records,
or I run with it.

And I don't just want a "friend"
in the White House.

I want a fucking soulmate.

You will give me the veep scoop
and every other scoop.

If he fires the White House florist
I better be the first to know.

If real Nevadans work hard
and play by the rules

you should be able
to get ahead and stay ahead.

- Yes.
- I understand that real Nevadans

- have real problems.
- Only real problems

are pretty bra-burning bitches
like her.

Come on, hey.

As president, I will ensure equal pay
for equal work.

No woman who works full-time
should have to worry...

A woman's place is in the kitchen.

So offensive!

Sir, do you have a question for me?

More of a comment.

Feminists destroyed this country,
destroyed the family.

Milking me for child support checks

when they should be making me dinner
at the end of a long day.

What the fuck?

Right.

It's bra-burning feminists like me

who are responsible
for the demise of this country.

- Well, yeah.
- Yeah.

Or it's men like you

who think you're special
because you were born with a dick.

Come on.

Where are you going?

- I'm in the kitchen where I belong.
- All right.

And I'm just getting started.

What the fuck?

What are you...

So... so you really think
that people will vote for a mayor

who's never held
higher elected office?

You have virtually zero
name recognition.

That's what you're for.

Touché.

Excuse me.

I'm in the kitchen where I belong.

What?

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

I can't believe
she finally did something cool

and I fucking miss it.

It wasn't as cool
as it looked, right?

Yo. Twitter is so fucked up.

Chris Cillizza is calling it
a deepfake.

And Chuck Todd just tweeted

that it was
"a craven campaign stunt."

Why are all these guys
saying that it was staged?

They always...
they always do that shit to her.

They had nothing.
Nothing can be spontaneous.

Everything is cold, hard calculation.

Was it staged?

Did she plant that guy?

Were there nipples?

Oh, there were nipples

and they were low-key perfect.

- And it was fucking amazing.
- Of course, they were.

It happened really fast.
But I was there, dude.

The vibe was really real.

Then... then you have to prove it.

It's... it's all you can do.

Why would anyone trust me?

They don't trust any of us.

That's called being the media.

But... but as journalists

we have to tell the readers
what actually happened

even when they don't wanna believe it

even when we don't wanna believe it.

But so, how do I prove it?

Interview Walker.

I... I wish I could

but I'm not on pool duty tomorrow
and she...

She hates me.

Get her to tell you
on the record, that it was legit.

Right, okay.

Yeah, I can do that.

- Yeah.
- I think.

Are you sure you want that whole bar?

I thought you were body positive.

It's dark chocolate, low fat.

Body neutral. And buckle up.

There's 5.0mg in each square.

Shit.

Annie... sweetie, I... I...
You are talking too fast

and I can't understand
what the hell you're saying.

- Are you hurt?
- No. I...

Have been attacked?

I haven't been attacked.

Okay, so...
so then what is the issue?

That is exactly what I'm...
I'm trying to tell you.

- Can we... Shit!
- Sweetie, I...

I gotta call you back.

John, what have you got for me?

Fuck! I just...

Hey, it's me, wanting to let you know

I've called this stupid number
from the tip line like ten times

and it rings to nowhere.

It's a bullshit tip. Call me.

You gotta be fucking kidding me.

Where were you today?

I... I had another story to work on.

Look... look, am...
am I missing something?

Is this because of what happened?

Did you bail on pool duty
'cause you're mad at me?

Jesus Christ!
Not everything is about you.

You think I wanted to miss that?

You could've called me
and told me to get there.

You could've...
you could've told me a lot of things.

But you didn't.

What the hell
is that supposed to mean?

It doesn't mean a damn thing

just like what happened
between you and me.

Okay. There it is.

Look, I thought
it was a one-time thing.

Sadie, would you just...

If I had known
you were her press secretary

I never would've.

I could lose my job.

If anyone ever found out,
and you knew that.

I was unemployed
when I came to your room, I swear.

I had an interview earlier
that afternoon.

I... I bombed it.
I never thought I'd get the job.

I would blow a bellman
for a real key right now.

Even the appearance
of a female journalist

sleeping with a source,
I'd be destroyed.

Never mind that men have been
fucking whoever they wanted

since the dawn of journalism
and fucking.

Oh, god!

Hallelujah!

Shit.

What the...

Fuck!

Fuck...

Fuck!

Bruce.

Bruce, the number the tipster left
is the burner phone

which means the tip is real.

It's like, inside the house real.

This guy knows where I am

which means he might be
working for Walker

or at least have
her official schedule

which also means...

he might know other things.

I'm freaking out.

What do we do?

Call me.

What do I do?

In a den of thieves,
the only final sin...

is stupidity.

This is so scary.

Sadie. Where're you at?

I need to get to Walker,
but her schedules aren't in English.

FPPO? What does that mean?

For Peaceful People Only? Call me.

"For planning purposes only."

- Hi.
- Hi.

What are we planning?

That's what FPPO stands for,
in campaign schedules.

Couldn't help but overhear.

Oh, right. No, I know that.

I'm a journalist.

Lola, right?

Yeah, I follow you on TikTok.

I'm Josie. I'm an organizer.

For my candidate crush, right?
I thought you looked familiar.

I was at that house party
y'all threw last week in Portsmouth.

Yeah, I told the team to invite you.

So what are you working on?

Okay. So I need a follow-up
with Felicity Walker

but I've no idea
what any of this means.

And if I ask her campaign
I'm gonna sound like an idiot

and if I ask the press corps
they'll just...

They hate me.

Why would you think they hate you?

Public radio told me to kill myself.

- But mostly that.
- Yeah, that's clear.

- Okay, well, can I take a look?
- Yeah, please.

First of all, it's called a "sked."

Nobody calls it "schedule."

Okay. Sked, got it.

"OTR," that's an off-the-record stop

but it's not actually off the record,
it's just off the official sked.

Also known as an "OTC."
"Opportunity to Crash."

Okay, hold up. Hold up.

Okay. "MOU" is a
"Memorandum of Understanding"

that you'll pay your own way.

"FF" is when the press
gets time to "File and Feed."

"RON" is short for "Room Overnight."

As in, where are you
sleeping tonight?

So, where are we RONing tonight?

Primary Day.

The day we've been working
toward for months.

The candidates have spoken.

The voters have made their choices.

That means that
until results start to come in

campaign reporters have something
we almost never have...

Free time.

Sorry, I have to take this.

I am about to hit send.

- I need to see you.
- Where?

Ninth floor elevator.
So you won't regret it.

- I'll be there.
- It's good, Grace.

Yeah, it better be fucking good.

There you are.

- Hey.
- So...

I booked us a couple's massage
at 2.00pm.

How's that sound? Does that work?

No, actually.

Did you not see
what Walker did yesterday?

Yeah, your lady lost her shit.
So what?

I am Liberty Direct's Walker
beat reporter.

And the Republican leadership
is already calling

for an investigation into #BraGhazi

and into whether she violated
any fire safety laws.

I have two primetime
primary-night hits

and Cal Swanson, aka
the highest-rated talk show on TV.

All good. It's all good.

I just thought some self-care
would be nice, right?

Obviously work
is stressing you out, so...

Work is not stressing me out.

You are stressing me out.

- Me?
- You and your mom

and her party planners and demands

and 75 e-mails
about peonies and canapes

and crap nobody will remember.

That's stressing me out.

So, if you will excuse me

I have work to do.

Hey.

Hey.

These are the medical records?

Better.

All right, I'm filing.

Why tell you that he's got
the stamina of a 25-year-old...

when I can show you.

Mr. Secretary?
He's running the Vegas 5K.

Grace.

Good luck.

I'll see you at the finish line.

Yes.

Dale, hey.

Oh, I won't die
if I live in Georgetown

but I hear the food
on Air Force One is terrible.

- Please? Pretty please?
- She's not taking questions

from reporters right now.

That's gas
'cause I'm not a real reporter.

I want quote approval

and you have to embargo it
until polls close.

A hundred percent, no problem.

Except I can't guarantee
quote approval.

And also... what do...
What does "embargo" mean?

What do you mean by that?

- Ten minutes after our last OTR.
- Got it.

Wait, but I got
one more condition for you.

For the love of God, can you get her
to answer Sadie's question.

- Yeah.
- Great.

I don't know
how you convinced me of that.

Now, Kimberlyn, what do you make

of Felicity Walker's
stamping out free speech

in the name of sexism?

Well, Cal.
I think what we're witnessing here

is a candidate having
an unprofessional meltdown...

Hang... hang on a second.
"Unprofessional?"

She destroyed property.

- And...
- Jesus. Can you let me talk?

Cal isn't going to.
Your answers need to be sharper.

What have you been doing all day?

Next question.

You know, the media mocked me
for skipping New Hampshire

but I wanted to be here,
talking with you.

In my opinion, Vegas
is the most honest city in America.

Half meritocracy, half crapshoot.

That is what our economy has become
to so many hardworking people.

Politicians in Washington

they wanna blame you
for their failures

but the people of Nevada,
you guys know better.

You know that the House always wins

- Hello?
- Hey. It's me.

Oh, my god, can you please
not call me on this thing?

It's... it's freaking me out.

They could be listening, you know.

You called me 15 times
in the middle of the night.

I think I deserved to see for myself.

So what do we do?
How do I reach the source if...

if his number is the burner?

We wait.

The data team has a source in the NSA

and they're running the number.

So if we get anything,
I'll let you know.

And if the tipster calls back

we'll be ready to trace the number.

In the meantime...

you have a primary
and #BraGhazi to cover.

So what's the fallout
from the Walker campaign?

I'm... I'm re... reporting that out.

Tie your Walker reporting
to your state-of-the-race?

You know, Dale,
Dale's with the old man.

If he wins tonight, his party's
gonna be forced to fall in line

and he will be
the inevitable nominee.

And Dale will be the inevitable
White House correspondent.

Great. Thank you.

Thank you.

All right. Thanks.

Hey.

Sources say
the former Secretary of State

and Democratic stalwart
is recovering with his family

after briefly losing consciousness

at the Vegas Blazin'
Rock N' Roll 5K Run.

The incident comes as exit polls

give the three-time
presidential candidate

a resounding lead
over his celebrity opponent.

Senator Felicity Walker
is in third place

bolstered by a late surge
of support from women

what pollsters
are calling "Bra Bump."

Dale, when are you filing?

His campaign said
he's just dehydrated!

It happens!
He's still gonna be the nominee!

I am covering the White House!

Another thing you missed.

Yes, I am writing it for the front.

Oh, hey,
how's that Styles story coming?

How's the food
on Spirit Airlines, Dale?

No, I'm not laughing at you.

I... I have to rewrite
my state-of-the-race.

- I can't help you right now.
- I don't need help.

I got an interview with Walker.

Thank you. Thanks so much.

I really needed to feel worse
about my life choices right now.

Here. I got her to answer
your trick question.

Unlike that Ted Kennedy dude

she actually
had a pretty good answer.

What is this?

You got it? How?

I'm texting you the audio.

I can't... I can't accept this.

Nope. Never, never share a scoop.

- Have I taught you nothing?
- Chill.

It's not my scoop.

Her preppy press secretary

made me ask your question
as a "precondition."

I think he wants to bang you
or something.

See ya.

Cal, I'm coming to you live
from Las Vegas

where the Democratic front-runner
has just proven to the world

he is too old and frail
to be the next president.

Cal, I think we can both agree

no matter how
the vote turns out here

he is simply unfit.

Hello.

All right. I will.

- John.
- Excuse me.

Hey.

How... how do you know
we were here?

I know a lot of things. How is he?

We'll release a statement soon.

Come on,
I'm not here as a journalist.

I'm here as a friend.

It was a massive blockage
to his coronary artery.

They did everything they could.

But he's gonna be okay, right?

But does he have to drop out?

Because the exit polls look
really good for him.

- Grace.
- That Hollywood cheeseball

is in second

but a win here gives him
the delegates he needs...

Grace.

He's gone.

I'm sorry.

He's gone. Wait here.

I'll... I'll let you know
when you can run with it, okay?

Wolf, I've got some breaking news.

Can't say just yet.

Alert the desk?

Yes, it will impact the primary.

Holy shit!

You okay?

I spent weeks tearing that man down.

I made fun of him for being old.

Twitter is calling me
Kimberlyn Kevorkian.

You need to block those trolls.

You were just doing your job...

and you are great at it

and I know it's important to you.

Yeah.

Which got me thinking...

You know, if this...

wedding stuff
is stressing you out so much...

maybe we should elope.

No.

I don't want that.

I want to honor what we have.

And I want our friends and family
to see me marry you

preferably in Vera Wang.

Wait...

Is that grapefruit essential oils?

You know it is.

This is Annie.

Leave a message
or better yet text me.

Hi, sweetie. It's your mom.

I'm sorry
I couldn't talk yesterday. I...

I don't know if you saw the news,
but it's been a day.

Anyway, I can talk now,
so, call me back, yeah?

So, when can I see you again?

I'll be around.
I won't quit until our girl does.

You know what they say.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?

It didn't happen in Vegas.
It happened in Iowa.

Sadie, I'm trying to apologize.

You could've made it worse, you know.

Asking Lola to ask my question?

I would've gotten it out
of Walker somehow.

Yeah, I...
I know you could've, eventually.

But honestly, it was too painful
to watch you keep trying.

It was.

Hey, I'm sorry.

I... I never meant
to put you in that position.

So is this us
being strictly professional?

Never speaking of what happened?

What happened?

I have no... I have no idea
what you're talking about.

You're such a gifted liar.

If only there was a way
to make a career out of it.

Strictly professional?

Only because you took my advice

and got rid
of that nonsensical slogan.

You're never wrong.

- You finally got it.
- I learned it.

The new headline. There.

All right.

Yeah.

This way, yep.
I should probably do the same thing.

Sadie McCarthy.

It looks like Walker
is a real contender now.

I'd say it's time
you and me had a little talk.
