If I held my breath on you, I would have
died a thousand times.

And if cheering was to show me how much
you care, you'd probably swallow your

tongue by now.

All I'm trying to say, darling, is that
you know very well that I left half of

you.

Just my tongue.

Bye, Charles.

Bye,

Charles.

banning the freedom to choose,
criminalizing doctors, forcing survivors

and incest to leave their states to get
the treatment they need.

Many of you in this chamber, and my
credit says...

What happened?

I told Claire not to go on PMS. You gave
up your source to the feds. I tried to

warn her. I told her. UVN is in free
fall.

Stella is gone. 024 was a disaster.

And now, thanks to you, TMS has been
raided. I did not have a choice.

I've been walking this tightrope with
the feds for two years now.

Really? So you didn't think you should
tell me that you were working with the

FBI when you came back?

What else are you hiding?

Are you wearing a wire right now?

Come on, Alex.

I think you and I actually both know
deep down that this was a terrible idea.

So if you actually came here to submit
your resignation, I accept.

That's not why you're here.

Chip and I found a whistleblower.

She worked at Martell Chemical.

She's been scared to come forward until
now.

Well, you don't blame her.

Sources are not very safe in your hands.

You told me you would give me time to
find a smoking gun. This woman is it.

can put together all the pieces of this
investigation. I just, I have to get to

her before she changes her mind.

I'm this close to landing a presidential
sit -down. I cannot have anything or

anyone fuck this up. Our source is in
Belarus. She's hiding out with her

and she's agreed to talk to me, but I
have to be in person.

Wait, I'm sorry. Did you just say
Belarus?

And if I'm going to go, I...

I have to go under the auspices of the
network. I need your authority to sign

off on it. You're the only one that
knows about the investigation.

I made a list of things I need. I need a
signature.

Belarus, are you kidding?

No.

Absolutely not.

You do not get my signature or my
permission or my auspices.

If it were up to me, you wouldn't have a
fucking job.

I know there is a cost to all of this.
Wait, wait. Did you just call Claire a

cost?

You can't... You can't make me feel
worse than I already feel.

If I can break this story, if I can help
those people, then I can prove... Prove

what? That I'm on the right side of
something.

A story is not going to save you,
Bradley.

This is over.

People died.

And the network, the one that you're the
face of, just looked the other way.

They actually actively buried a story,
and they could have done the opposite.

How do you sleep at night? Me?

How do you sleep at night?

I don't.

Ton mari t 'a trompé.

Faut que tu débarrasses de lui
maintenant.

Tu me donnes pas d 'ordre.

Papa a dit que si demain... J 'aime bien
jouer les spires.

Rentre en France pendant qu 'il est
encore temps.

T 'as peur que je te devance ? T 'en
veux toujours plus, Céline.

On t 'a envoyé ici pour une raison.

Une seule.

Camoufler un scandale dans une usine
chimique. Et c 'est ce que j 'ai fait.

Mais t 'as continué.

Tu devais faire ça discrètement et
maintenant, avec toutes ces histoires,

fais remarquer.

Tu penses pas à la famille, tu penses qu
'à toi.

Le conseil d 'administration est sur le
point de nommer un nouveau PDG.

Je suis à deux doigts de prendre le
contrôle d 'un empire médiatique.

PDG et président du conseil.

On aura le contrôle total de l 'info.

Tu sais, on dit que quand on maîtrise ce
que les gens perçoivent de l

'actualité, on a gagné la moitié de la
bataille. Mais en fait, c 'est la guerre

qu 'on gagne.

Ah oui, c 'est comme quand tu as promis
de flatter nos partenaires de Téhéran

avec ce sujet olympique émouvant. Je ne
pouvais pas savoir que cette fille

allait faire défection. On est impliqués
jusqu 'au cou dans ces jeux. Et j 'ai

aussi réglé ce problème.

Il y a les fournisseurs, il y a les
stades, il y a les partenariats. Et la

? Ah, la Seine, c 'est mon petit hobby,
ça.

Financer la grande dépollution.

Apparemment, c 'est toujours blindé de
merde là -dedans. Occupe -toi déjà de la

nettoyer, la tienne de merde.

Hello?

Alex Levy?

Yes? We have your father here at a
campus security holding cell. What are

talking about?

Public intoxication.

Oh, shit.

Oh, my God.

Can't you just put him in an Uber or
something?

He needs to be picked up. There was an
incident that we prefer not to press

charges on. What did he do?

Public urination is considered a lewd
act under New York Penal Law Section...

Okay, okay, I'll be right there.

No, look, I'm completely fine.

All right, come on, this way. Here we
go. Let's go this way, please.

Don't fuss. I'm not some crumbling
fossil. Dad, I have to be up in three

I have a really huge day tomorrow.
Listen, if I'm going to... I want to

my own bed, so I'll call a car.

Dad, you're here.

It's late.

Okay, let's just sleep this off. Let's
go.

Okay? All right, well, look, listen.

I'm going to need a toothbrush for this
little sleepover.

You got it.

And some water. Yes, yes, yes. And it'll
leave. I've got it coming all for you.

This one is stunning.

Yeah, absolutely.

But come on.

This one.

It's adventurous, but with a deep inner
life.

She's worried about this area.

Can't we see some other options? No, I
hear you. I hear you. But this is the

wig, right?

You're right. And the right wig is going
to get her the little gold man.

I'll take it over there.

I'll show her myself.

And she'll see.

Thanks, guys.

Or she won't.

Ma, hey. I was just going to call you.

Which Merrill wig do you prefer?

Silkwood, Prada, or Sophie's Choice?
Which, incidentally, this is starting to

feel like right now.

I'm on the lot. I've got to lock it in.

Are you back in Los Angeles?

I'm in New York.

on the uh lot today but uh we've got
some exteriors later this week i have to

talk to you younger meryl would be
better but any meryl really i'm not

for switzerland i'm going to take things
in my own hands mom i'm sorry i didn't

call you back last night i had a major
hair department crisis and i had to de

-escalate but i will swing by later
today and it's going to be i put the

the medicine cabinet and my dirty towels
in the fridge i'm losing it My brain

was my one constant, and now... Okay,
stop.

I know that this is stressful.

It's scary.

Yesterday, I almost hit the neighbor's
child backing out of the driveway.

I was within inches.

I can't live like this.

I need to do this before I can't. Before
I have an around -the -clock nurse who

has to change my diaper.

Mom, we talked about this.

Corey, I've gotten the pills.

I've organized everything so you won't
have to do a thing.

I'm going to end my life.

Today.

I love you.

Don't do anything until I get there.

Here.

Fuck.

Dad?

Dad? You're fucking kidding me.

God damn it.

Get TMS to pull my interviews of Obama
and RBG. There should be a link ready.

And, oh, don't forget to get their
coffee orders organized.

Don't go to the bitter place. Go to the
place that has that little, they put

foam and they'll face it. Are you okay?

Why? No, you just, you seem a little
stressed.

Yeah. Well, I had an incident with my
father last night, and now he's missing.

Oh, the pee thing.

Did you see that video?

No.

A little.

Yes. I'm going to get your coffee. Thank
you. Okay.

You could co -chair the campaign.

I can't be so front -facing, but we'll
find the perfect person.

Why New Jersey?

I have a place on the shore.

The Democrats going down in the
corruption scandal, which opens a path

independent.

Oh, Alex.

Sorry, I didn't realize you were... I'll
come back. We are done.

Good morning, bro.

Nice to leave you. Always a pleasure.

It is a pleasure.

How are you holding up?

Um... It's all so public.

I'm sorry. He went upstate for a little
while.

And we keep missing each other.

So I think I have some good news for
you.

I'm meeting with the press team from the
White House.

Biden hasn't done a long form in months.

We could have a lot of eyeballs on it.

Excellent. We need a win. We're the last
two standing. Like at the end of a

disaster movie.

Exactly.

Try not to let the other stuff get you
down.

Thank you.

Oh.

Good luck with your father.

You saw that?

Hard to miss.

Parents are tricky.

Yeah.

Hi. Hi.

Yeah, so I found your dad. Oh, God,
where?

Alexandra.

What are you doing here?

Well, I can't cower in a cupboard while
my reputation's being trampled on the

foot. Remy, please give us a second.
These ridiculous accusations of literary

theft are a malicious lie, a takedown,
and now another insignificant incident

blown entirely out of proportion.

Lewd acts does not sound great.

Hyperbole. You peed on Paul Revere.

It was Nathan Hale. Please, can we talk
about this later? I have a very, very

big day today. Put me on your show.

Give me the chance to vindicate myself,
to tell my side of the story, to explain

that the free exchange of ideas is
essential to any substantive

debate and in no way approaches the
threshold of plagiarism.

Dad, I can't do that.

They're trying to remove me from the
very department I created. The least you

can do, Alexandra, is to help. Okay, you
want my advice?

Here's my advice to you. I would go
away, I would disappear, wait till

moves on.

Move on where?

Academia's in free fall.

University presidents have been hauled
before Senate subcommittees, students

sleeping in tents in the quad.

While rigorous debate, actual critical
thinking has gone the way of the dodo.

I could have helped fix all this
nonsense. I still can. Just give me a

make my case.

I can't. I cannot put you on my show.
Charlie Rose is always happy to have me.

In the 90s. And I don't think Charlie
Rose is a very compelling character

witness these days. You have exacerbated
the situation because of your profile.

Therefore, it is incumbent on you to
help fix it.

I am securing an interview with the
President of the United States. I

Do this right now. How sharper than a
serpent's tooth it is to have a

child.

Dad, I'm sorry.

One traffic ticket later, here I am.

The Hitler youth cop said I did a
California role.

Which, you know, of course I'm gonna...
Forget it. I'm here.

So, Leon Irwin, my personal attorney,
will have all the paperwork ready for

Oh, wow. Leon the lawyer. That's a
sitcom.

I've made it as simple as I could. I
just had to sign.

I left a list of all the people you need
to call.

With their numbers.

On the kitchen table.

Simple. Your death, paperwork.

Got it.

What do you want to order for lunch?

All I ask is that you're gone when the
coroner arrives tonight at nine.

This is still illegal.

And the last thing I would want is for
you to get implicated in a crime.

Okay, sure. Well, this sounds great.

You're going to illegally kill yourself.

Mom, can we actually talk about this
now?

What do you mean?

You're not going to do this.

You know this.

I know this.

You're upset.

I get it. But let's just talk about it,
okay? We'll figure it out together.

This isn't the kind of thing you just
do.

And damn you for dumping this shit on me
today. You tell me that this is just a

ploy to get your only and favorite son
back into the house, and I will forgive

you. Tell me that you're sad. Tell me
that you need something.

I'm glad you came.

Hey, you want to meet a movie star in
Rhinebeck?

We'll make a road trip out of it. Or we
can head down the Hudson. Yes, we'll hit

Manhattan, see a show. Let's find a play
with the worst possible reviews.

I have made my decision.

Well, I can still make one.

Now, you can be here, or you can get the
paperwork later.

Either way, this is what's going to
happen today.

Used to be you'd try out new material on
campus.

Now, they all got cell phones and boom,
one anti -woke joke. You're done. You're

canceled. It's killing comedy.

I mean, yeah, yeah.

Oh, my God. You still do the comic
circuit. I do, yeah. No, I mean, you

accept that what's funny is going to
change, you know, just evolve with the

time. These kids, they don't know the
difference between a joke and reality.

Yeah, but, okay, well, do you remember
that Bill Cosby had that whole set about

drugging and assaulting women? It turns
out it wasn't such a joke. I do want to

talk about some Cosby.

I don't know if I do. But first, we got
to pay the bills. You going to let me

plug my tour date? Well, you sure will
right after the break.

And stay tuned for the shitstorm in the
Seine. You hear about this? No.

They spent all this money on cleaning
the caca out of the river in Paris for

Olympics. Well, I love a good poop
story.

Be right back with the scat.

Hey, can I help you? You know, it so
happens that I'm a constitutional

of some around, specializing in the
First Amendment.

I could contribute to your discussion.

We don't do unsolicited guests.

No drive -by. No, these same students
you speak of are trying to destroy me.

For a crime I did not commit.

And now, to further ridicule and shame
me, they've publicized a little video of

me relieving myself in close proximity
to our national hero.

You're Alex Levy's father?

Yes, I am.

Hey, we're back in 60.

Why don't you come have a seat?

The focus will be on the state of
women's rights post -2020, reproductive

care, bodily autonomy, pay equity.

My interview with Kamala on gun violence
scored huge numbers, especially in the

core demo.

And you just talked to me about timing,
and we will roll this out around any

important speeches or events.

That sounds good.

Mm -hmm.

These days, young people don't seem to
realize the privileges they have. They

take them for granted. They don't
recognize that they stand on the

the generations that came before.

Maybe instead of canceling us, they
should thank us. Hallelujah. I love a

who's not afraid to speak his mind,
irregardless of the consequences. No,

no, no, no, no, no.

Irregardless. is not a real word.

The prefix IR denotes a negation. So in
this, and, well, frankly, in any other

context, regardless will suffice.

Schooled. And it won't all be softballs,
but it will be fair.

No Hunter, no Trump trial, abortion, and
the Supreme Court obviously are all on

the table. And I would like 30 minutes.

10. 20.

12. 15. 12.

12 on a walk and talk.

We can do that.

We'll get back to you with some days.

Yes. Why don't you keep open the first
two weeks of July? We will make it all

work.

Absolutely. This is fantastic, Riley.
Thanks so much for coming in. Thank you.

So great.

I want to get canceled nowadays.

Oh, you ask me.

I mean, this is a new thing, but I tell
you it was... Stop. Cut it.

Okay, we're off. What is going on in
here? You finally made it through the

You forgot to tell me your dad is
brilliant.

I thought you were going home. You've
just interrupted a very interesting

conversation. I'm sure.

But let's go. It's time to leave.

Oh, well, Mr. Hartman, it's been a
pleasure.

You're welcome back anytime, sir. I
would love to get your take on the right

bear arms.

Oh, the Second Amendment. No, no, no,
no, no, no. One simple sentence, three

confounding commas. We could do all
series.

None of this is happening.

None of this is happening. Let's go.

And you should have asked me before you
put my father on your show. Oh, I didn't

know I needed a permission flip.

Just, you know, common decency, a little
respect.

Decency and respect.

Yeah, it's rich coming from you. Dad,
let's go, please.

You know, let me work this out. When a
guy ghosts after sex, he's a dick, but

when women do it, it's like, what,
feminism or something?

Listen, whatever occurred between us,
let's just keep it between us. Oh, yeah,

yeah, let's talk about us. Dad, let's
just get out of here, please. She has a

terrible time with men. Oh, my God,
we're...

Now listen, I tell you, why don't we
just settle down? I think

I did very well, actually.

Okay, it's the White House, Dad, so
please.

Riley! Oh my gosh, it was so lovely to
see you today. You know, I was actually

thinking, I know we discussed the Blue
Room, but I'm wondering if...

Maybe the Roosevelt might be better.

What do you mean it's not going to
happen?

Timing? I can be to D .C. within two
hours' notice.

I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that.

It's your father, the thing in the Post
this morning, his rant on that podcast.

It doesn't help the ageist narrative
we're fighting against with our guy.

Sorry, Alex.

I understand. Thank you.

Well, now that you'll have some...
Don't, please.

Charlie, will you please take him home?

84th and Central Park West. Thank you.

Weeks.

Weeks of a... carefully orchestrated
negotiation and one day you just blew it

up.

Don't you ever slam a door in my face
again.

Ever. I'm your father.

Don't you ever just barge into my
apartment like that again. Jesus!

Where are you going? I'm going to get
some air.

Weeks of negotiation?

Try 50 years of service in academia, and
for what?

You've cost me my legacy.

I did not ask you to plagiarize
anything.

I did not plagiarize. Will you please
get that into your face? Oh, come on,

didn't listen. I told you to go home,
and you didn't. And you fucked me, and

fucked my interview.

Oh, still blaming everybody else for
your own failures, are you? Oh, excuse

I do not do that. That is not true.

And the only person I actually feel like
a failure around is you, ever since I

was a little kid.

God, isn't the statute of limitations up
on your poor old childhood? Do you

remember what you would do to me at
dinner every night? You would quiz me on

current events and obscure literature. I
was training your brain to think. And

no matter what I said... Trust me. I
scoured the news. I scoured every book

your library.

And no matter what, you just dismissed
me. I was testing you. I never dismissed

you. You just did it. You just did it
right there. You just dismissed the idea

of you dismissing me. Good thing you
never went into the law because your

arguments are not... Got it. Not smart.

I know. I'm not smart enough. I'm not
academic enough. I'm just not enough.

It's true that...

In those days, you were not
exceptionally incisive. All you wanted

impress your sycophantic co -eds that
you would bring over.

Here's the brilliant professor saddled
with this simple daughter.

But you know what? I actually wasn't
simple.

I was a ten -year -old.

And I still cleaned out your dirty
ashtrays, cleared the table, did the

Just you and me.

And yet, every time you were around, I
felt...

I felt more alone than I ever felt when
I actually was alone.

I do not blame Mom for leaving you for
one minute. Don't you talk about your

mother. I know. We don't talk about Mom.
I get it. I remember.

But I don't understand.

She was my mother, and you just erased
her.

You just took her pictures down. You
threw her clothes away, and you pushed

And you pushed her.

And every memory of her out of the
house.

And I don't know why.

I never pushed her.

You don't know what... You're too young.
You don't understand. You don't know

anything. I do know this. You didn't
parent me.

I raised myself.

I gave up all manner of things for you.

What great sacrifices. Tell me. I would
love to know what great sacrifices you

made. I'm dying to hear this.

My wife.

I... Lost my wife.

You want to talk about your mother?

Okay.

Fine. What do you want to know about
her?

She was a true original.

She knew the lyrics to every song. She
did the crossword in ink.

She loved to dance and she made the best
martini. We had a great life.

I didn't want anything to change it.

She'd always gone on about having a
child.

The only thing she'd ever asked for
was... Was me.

No, I wanted her to be happy.

And she was. She was so happy being
pregnant.

Then she gave birth and... The hospital,
she wouldn't even hold you.

It was like she fell down a well.

It doesn't matter what it was called.

What difference does it make?

It makes all the difference in the
world.

My entire life, I thought Mom left
because of you, because you're so

I didn't know she was struggling. Why
wouldn't you tell me this?

Well, there you are.

Now you know.

I mean, I'd come home in the evening and
she'd be staring at the ceiling and

you'd be screaming in a filthy nappy for
God knows how long.

I mean, I'd try to get her better, take
care of you both, but...

Then one day she just up and left.

Leaving me with this messy child I
didn't want in the first place.

Oh, my God.

A child who looked like her spitting
image.

Okay, Dad, stop.

Just stop for a second, please.

You blame me for Mom leaving.

You've resented my entire existence from
the day I was born.

It didn't really matter.

All of the things that I tried to do to
get you to see me.

My grades.

My recitals and my career.

How does it really matter?

Dad, do you know how badly I wanted to
be somebody

that you could love?

I know you talk about your legacy, Dad,
but you... I didn't cost you your

legacy.

It's me.

I was a septic skeptic. We can't
desalinate the ocean. How are we going

the literal shit out of the dirtiest
river in Europe? It's a good question.

But I've talked to some scientists.
Really?

Are they real ones or just women on
OnlyFans who wear glasses?

Apparently, the new technology that they
pioneered in the Paris cleanup was

revolutionary. I love a good French
revolution.

And it's cleaner than Poland Springs
now.

Really? Is that so?

Liberté, égalité, and most definitely
fraternité.

You're not going to drink that.

He's drinking it. Okay.

I need you to do something for me.

Well, that's funny.

I didn't realize we were asking favors.
If that's the case, I'd kindly ask you

not to kill yourself. How's that?

I'm asking you to listen.

Hey, let me tell you this. If this is
one of those fucking last rights

situation, you can count me out. I'm not
interested. So I'm not going to co

-sign onto this death sequence. You
understand?

That answer is no. It's no, no, no, and
no.

Corey. We didn't even go to Antarctica.

What? Yeah, you promised me. After we
saw March of the Penguins.

Because you said...

You wanted to go to Antarctica before
you died, and I said yes.

Even though that was the last thing I
wanted to do, go freeze my ass off to

watch a bunch of birds who can't even
fucking fly squawking on shit -covered

ice. I told you that I would go on the
only cruise I'd ever go on because I

wanted to be with you. Oh.

I did. I don't know why. It's stupid.

But you promised me. You made a promise,
Mom.

Yep. And I was really looking forward to
it. I can book the tickets right now.

We could go. You have to listen to me.

Everything I did, I did for you.

From the moment I first had you, that
surge of love went straight to my bones.

You looked at me with those dark,
pensive eyes.

Nothing else mattered.

I...

from anyone and anything, no matter
what. I don't want to hear my fucking

Cora, you have to listen to me.

You were... You are the greatest thing
I've ever done.

All I ever wanted was for you to
succeed.

Be happy.

I... I have to...

tell you something.

I need to... You need to what?

You need to what?

You need to what?

I need to... see

the wig.

Okay.

You're going to love this movie.

She's a private investigator with a
past. She's beautiful. She doesn't know

Just kidding. She knows it. Of course
she knows it. She absolutely knows it.

Look at her.

She's a former district attorney.

Who are oftentimes political shills
without a moral center.

That's right. She is a former fascist.

district attorney who blew the case of a
lifetime.

You know, it's one of those cases where
the criminal dodges prison on some kind

of technicality. We call that a
constitutional violation, honey. A

constitutional violation. So here she
is, and she has been haunted by it,

followed her around. So now she's burnt
out. She's a burnt out former district

attorney turned private investigator.

And then she gets this sexy new client
who's accused of murdering his wife.

And at first she doesn't trust him
because, well, he has a... Beard. A

obviously. And so that leads to a fight.
He says some terrible things.

She leaves in a huff and she thinks,
fuck this, I'm not going to do this

And then she stops.

She turns around and she says, my
favorite line in the entire movie. And I

made the writer put it in because, of
course, she doesn't know how women

actually talk.

She turns around, and she says, Mom.

Mom?

This call has been forwarded to
voicemail. The person you're trying to

unavailable. At the tone, please record
your message.

Hey!

It's me.

What are you doing right now?

Huh? Let's go skiing!

Coring. Wow.

You look like shit.

It's a long story.

I got this one from Columbia House.

You didn't have that in France? You guys
have Columbia House?

Maison de Columbia.

No? In the 80s and 90s, we had an
institution called

Columbia House, which was a mail -order
CD club that was catering mostly to

teenagers who had no fucking money. They
would say, sign up. We'll send you free

CDs. All of the free CDs, they were
shitty CDs.

That was the con.

We just kept ordering.

Not mine. The American Dream.

We would just sift through all the shit
until finally we would land some good

music like Iggy or Led Zeppelin or, oh,
on the very rare occasion, Smith's

album. Just on the off chance that a
girl might cross the threshold, the

virginal, virginal threshold of my
childhood bedroom.

The rest of our lives would never
compare to the healthy young days when

all the music we ever wanted in the mail

Along with the days of Columbia House.

When I thought my parents were
embarrassing, they knew everything, and

always be around.

Yeah, constant.

Like... The Northern Star.

Constantly in the darkness.

Where's that at?

If you want me, I'll be at the bar.

Are you alright?

Yeah, this feels really good. You should
try it.

You've reached Bradley Jackson.

Leave a message and I'll get back to
you.

Bradley, you were right.

I've been doing a lot of thinking.

Of course I will support your travel.

I will. Just, honey, open the door. Come
on.

Hey.

What are you doing here? Where's
Bradley?

She went to Belarus.

Of course she did.

Um, she was supposed to check in with me
every three hours. It's been six.

I called my contact at the IMF.

They think she's being detained.

We know what they do to journalists over
there.

I'm so high.
