2
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,703
Oh, my God.
3
00:02:57,386 --> 00:02:59,471
What's going on there, Levy?
4
00:03:02,724 --> 00:03:05,227
I'm just thinking about
the wildfires in California.
5
00:03:05,310 --> 00:03:07,854
Hmm, okay. As one does.
6
00:03:07,938 --> 00:03:11,900
We covered it a couple of years ago.
7
00:03:11,983 --> 00:03:15,696
And there was this woman. Oh,
God, I remember her so clearly.
8
00:03:16,613 --> 00:03:19,658
She had this little backpack
on, like a little kid's backpack,
9
00:03:19,741 --> 00:03:23,995
and she clearly just lost her
home and her car and everything.
10
00:03:24,079 --> 00:03:28,375
She was just wandering back
and forth behind our cameras,
11
00:03:28,458 --> 00:03:30,669
and you could just see
she didn't know what to do,
12
00:03:30,752 --> 00:03:32,546
and she had no idea where to go.
13
00:03:32,629 --> 00:03:34,297
Alex, we're not burning
anybody's house down.
14
00:03:34,381 --> 00:03:36,967
Really? I mean, we kind of are.
15
00:03:37,467 --> 00:03:41,138
We're killing a company that
has existed for 80 years.
16
00:03:41,221 --> 00:03:44,266
And I'm, like, standing there
holding a match, you know?
17
00:03:44,349 --> 00:03:47,310
Yeah. I could see if I was in your
position, I might feel that way.
18
00:03:47,394 --> 00:03:48,895
Yeah, but see, you're not.
19
00:03:48,979 --> 00:03:51,189
This company gave me my career.
20
00:03:51,857 --> 00:03:56,862
Wait a m... No. No, this
company gave you a job.
21
00:03:56,945 --> 00:03:58,280
Mmm.
22
00:03:58,363 --> 00:04:01,533
You... You made that
into something else.
23
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:06,830
Okay. It's just moving...
24
00:04:06,913 --> 00:04:09,750
- It's just moving really, really fast.
- Yeah, I know.
25
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:13,503
And I wish we could slow it down,
but we do not have that luxury.
26
00:04:14,338 --> 00:04:15,672
Mmm.
27
00:04:16,340 --> 00:04:20,093
And I know the secrecy
of it is not ideal.
28
00:04:20,177 --> 00:04:23,305
I just feel like I've failed,
you know? 'Cause otherwise this...
29
00:04:23,388 --> 00:04:25,682
- None of this would be happening.
- Okay. Okay, sure. Yeah,
30
00:04:25,766 --> 00:04:28,852
you can look at it that way.
Sure. You can tell yourself that,
31
00:04:28,935 --> 00:04:32,147
or you could look at
this as an opportunity
32
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:34,608
to create something that
will survive into the future.
33
00:04:34,691 --> 00:04:35,692
Mm-hmm.
34
00:04:36,943 --> 00:04:38,820
You wanna run your own studio?
35
00:04:39,446 --> 00:04:40,739
Run your own studio.
36
00:04:40,822 --> 00:04:43,784
Bring Mia, bring Bradley,
bring Chris. Bring 'em all.
37
00:04:44,993 --> 00:04:50,040
This is a chance to create
something new, something better.
38
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:53,085
But you have to really, really want it.
39
00:04:53,710 --> 00:04:54,711
Mm-hmm.
40
00:04:57,881 --> 00:05:00,008
Do you?
41
00:05:05,514 --> 00:05:07,766
Wow, you've been with
Hyperion since the beginning.
42
00:05:07,849 --> 00:05:10,477
You were really part of
making that company happen.
43
00:05:11,269 --> 00:05:16,566
I'm also wondering, you know, working
for a visionary like Paul Marks,
44
00:05:16,650 --> 00:05:19,319
it must have been a really
difficult decision to leave.
45
00:05:19,403 --> 00:05:22,072
Yeah, well, it was time to move on.
46
00:05:22,155 --> 00:05:25,033
You know, over a third of the
engineers that worked on Hyperion Two...
47
00:05:25,117 --> 00:05:26,910
...have left since March.
48
00:05:26,993 --> 00:05:28,912
That's a lot of people.
49
00:05:28,995 --> 00:05:32,624
I was just wondering if there were
any problems, um, safety concerns,
50
00:05:32,708 --> 00:05:36,586
problems with management. Just
w-why do you think the mass exodus?
51
00:05:36,597 --> 00:05:38,557
I'm sorry. I have to go.
52
00:05:38,568 --> 00:05:40,350
Uh, I know you signed an NDA, and I'm...
53
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,737
I'm not gonna get you sued.
54
00:05:41,748 --> 00:05:44,169
I won't use your name. I just need a...
55
00:05:44,648 --> 00:05:45,900
Fuck.
56
00:05:46,847 --> 00:05:48,682
That was the last name on my list.
57
00:05:51,018 --> 00:05:53,729
All the names we found, and nothing?
58
00:05:53,812 --> 00:05:55,772
All manner of fucked-up shit
could be happening there,
59
00:05:55,856 --> 00:05:57,774
and no one's gonna know.
Paul's got everybody spooked.
60
00:05:57,858 --> 00:05:58,942
Any word from Kate?
61
00:05:59,026 --> 00:06:00,655
She does not want to be found.
62
00:06:00,665 --> 00:06:02,799
We need to find someone
who will go on the record.
63
00:06:02,810 --> 00:06:04,478
What about Paul's
lower-level employees?
64
00:06:04,489 --> 00:06:06,575
You know, somebody who's
not "NDAed" to death, right?
65
00:06:06,586 --> 00:06:10,423
- Yeah. You think they would talk?
- Uh, 100%. Definitely.
66
00:06:10,579 --> 00:06:13,248
I mean, as a recently
fired employee of...
67
00:06:13,749 --> 00:06:16,168
how do I put this...
a, uh, challenging boss,
68
00:06:16,251 --> 00:06:17,586
- I speak from experience.
- Hmm.
69
00:06:17,669 --> 00:06:20,714
- Painful, fucking bitter experience.
- Stella, we're gonna get it done.
70
00:06:22,632 --> 00:06:24,384
By Friday?
71
00:06:24,468 --> 00:06:26,178
Because once Paul owns UBA,
72
00:06:26,261 --> 00:06:30,098
anything we find will just make us
feel shittier that he's our boss.
73
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:35,395
Oh, this is fantastic.
74
00:06:36,646 --> 00:06:38,648
Send them ten pounds
of Black Ivory Coffee.
75
00:06:38,732 --> 00:06:39,983
- Black Ivory?
- Mm-hmm.
76
00:06:40,067 --> 00:06:42,361
They only made 500 pounds last year.
77
00:06:42,372 --> 00:06:44,295
- Mm-hmm.
- Total i-in the world.
78
00:06:44,306 --> 00:06:45,519
Yeah, I know.
79
00:06:45,530 --> 00:06:48,177
- Got a minute?
- Oh, Earl. Yeah. Come in.
80
00:06:48,188 --> 00:06:50,051
All right, so put out
word on the socials,
81
00:06:50,061 --> 00:06:51,859
make new friends on the dark web,
82
00:06:51,870 --> 00:06:54,498
volunteer at the zoo
and freestyle a batch.
83
00:06:54,581 --> 00:06:56,958
Just get me those beans, Kyle.
84
00:06:57,042 --> 00:06:58,043
On it.
85
00:07:01,797 --> 00:07:04,841
You seen UBA's trading activity today?
86
00:07:04,925 --> 00:07:06,051
Not yet.
87
00:07:06,134 --> 00:07:08,970
Who's getting slaughtered, beside
the big tech companies out there?
88
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:13,934
Oh. Whoa. That's, um...
89
00:07:14,017 --> 00:07:17,229
That's steeper than El Cap.
90
00:07:17,312 --> 00:07:18,939
Someone needs to free solo that shit.
91
00:07:19,022 --> 00:07:22,734
Started at the bell,
volume hasn't let up since.
92
00:07:23,777 --> 00:07:27,155
Figured it was arb traders, so I
reached out to the usual suspects.
93
00:07:27,823 --> 00:07:29,991
It's not them, and they
don't know who it is.
94
00:07:30,075 --> 00:07:32,452
Oh. Come on, Earl.
95
00:07:32,536 --> 00:07:34,788
Traders are worse than
middle schoolers with a crush.
96
00:07:34,871 --> 00:07:36,873
They can't keep a secret
to save their lives.
97
00:07:36,957 --> 00:07:39,126
These buyers are keeping it very quiet.
98
00:07:41,294 --> 00:07:43,797
We may not know anything
till they file with the SEC.
99
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,175
Hmm. Did you have fun at
my surprise party last year?
100
00:07:47,884 --> 00:07:49,136
Don't think I was invited.
101
00:07:49,219 --> 00:07:51,680
Yeah, 'cause there wasn't
one. I hate surprises.
102
00:07:51,691 --> 00:07:53,758
I especially hate them when they're four
103
00:07:53,768 --> 00:07:56,696
days before I close a $40 billion deal.
104
00:07:56,925 --> 00:07:59,844
Find out who is buying.
105
00:07:59,928 --> 00:08:02,057
I don't want any assholes popping out of
106
00:08:02,067 --> 00:08:04,682
closets this week and fucking things up.
107
00:08:04,693 --> 00:08:05,694
Yes, sir.
108
00:08:17,205 --> 00:08:18,665
We're sorry. You have reached
109
00:08:18,676 --> 00:08:20,064
a number that has been disconnected
110
00:08:20,074 --> 00:08:22,262
or is no longer in service. Please...
111
00:08:29,259 --> 00:08:30,260
- Hey.
- Hi.
112
00:08:31,345 --> 00:08:32,634
You got a minute? I'm getting bounced
113
00:08:32,644 --> 00:08:34,180
between lawyers and bean counters here.
114
00:08:34,264 --> 00:08:35,432
Yeah, sure. What's up?
115
00:08:36,016 --> 00:08:39,269
You've never been through
one of these before, have you?
116
00:08:39,353 --> 00:08:40,562
An acquisition?
117
00:08:41,103 --> 00:08:45,192
Well, UBA bought my start-up,
but not for 40 billion.
118
00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:48,196
Yeah, well, there's always fallout
119
00:08:48,207 --> 00:08:50,863
when one company takes another one over.
120
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,043
No one likes to be shown the door.
121
00:08:53,742 --> 00:08:55,243
You think Cory's gonna lose his shit.
122
00:08:56,606 --> 00:08:58,302
Maybe we could send a shrink along
123
00:08:58,312 --> 00:09:01,280
with his $150 million severance package.
124
00:09:01,291 --> 00:09:02,713
Yeah, don't touch that.
125
00:09:04,586 --> 00:09:06,338
Yeah, about that.
126
00:09:07,297 --> 00:09:09,091
I've done my due diligence on Cory.
127
00:09:09,174 --> 00:09:12,844
I was just curious if
you had anything to add.
128
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,182
You ever see him cross a line?
129
00:09:17,766 --> 00:09:20,936
Like self-dealing, corporate
espionage type stuff? No.
130
00:09:21,478 --> 00:09:23,480
Never. He's way too careful
for anything like that.
131
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:25,982
Yeah, what about his personal
life? What's that look like?
132
00:09:26,983 --> 00:09:28,985
As far as I know,
he's not dating anyone.
133
00:09:29,611 --> 00:09:32,364
I heard he plays poker
with some other execs,
134
00:09:32,447 --> 00:09:35,492
but, uh, he basically
lives at the office.
135
00:09:37,494 --> 00:09:39,287
Come on, Stella. The guy's not a monk.
136
00:09:41,373 --> 00:09:43,458
Honestly, he kind of is.
137
00:09:43,542 --> 00:09:46,503
I heard he was hanging around Bradley
too much when she first got here.
138
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:49,297
But, you know, obviously
that went nowhere.
139
00:09:51,967 --> 00:09:53,552
Well, okay then.
140
00:09:54,302 --> 00:09:56,555
I almost feel bad for the guy.
He has no idea what's coming.
141
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,313
Yeah.
142
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,160
Oh, come in.
143
00:10:19,202 --> 00:10:21,079
- Hey.
- Thank you for making the time.
144
00:10:22,122 --> 00:10:24,624
Okay. Please tell me
that you're not going back to UBA.
145
00:10:24,708 --> 00:10:27,419
No, Elena. I'm not leaving NBN.
146
00:10:27,575 --> 00:10:29,504
Oh, good. I mean, when you said
147
00:10:29,514 --> 00:10:31,004
you wanted an off-the-books meeting,
148
00:10:31,015 --> 00:10:36,261
I was gearing up to fight
fucking Paul Marks. Jesus Christ.
149
00:10:36,345 --> 00:10:38,305
- It's not about that.
- Okay.
150
00:10:39,431 --> 00:10:40,471
Okay.
151
00:10:42,536 --> 00:10:45,997
So recently...
...I discovered something.
152
00:10:48,774 --> 00:10:53,945
It's big. I don't know if
it's real, but if I chase it...
153
00:10:57,824 --> 00:10:59,076
But?
154
00:11:00,494 --> 00:11:05,082
It could implicate
someone close to you. Okay.
155
00:11:05,165 --> 00:11:10,045
And if I don't look into it, and
people find out that I knew...
156
00:11:10,128 --> 00:11:11,880
- Yeah.
- ...it would ruin my career.
157
00:11:14,424 --> 00:11:17,594
You know, back before
I went all corporate,
158
00:11:18,595 --> 00:11:20,013
I covered the Clinton impeachment.
159
00:11:20,097 --> 00:11:25,435
And my college roommate was one
of Ken Starr's top prosecutors.
160
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:31,274
And she said something to me
one night over drinks, offhand.
161
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:32,901
And...
162
00:11:34,695 --> 00:11:35,904
And you...
163
00:11:35,987 --> 00:11:39,574
I ran it down and reported it.
164
00:11:42,452 --> 00:11:45,914
Afterwards she accused me of
betraying her, which, well, I had.
165
00:11:45,997 --> 00:11:48,959
Because that's what
we do as journalists.
166
00:11:49,042 --> 00:11:53,046
We shatter one moral
code to uphold the other.
167
00:11:53,130 --> 00:11:54,131
I just...
168
00:11:55,298 --> 00:11:57,009
I'm not sure I can do that.
169
00:11:57,092 --> 00:11:58,301
Look, if you're too close,
170
00:11:58,312 --> 00:11:59,874
if you wanna pass it off to someone who
171
00:11:59,884 --> 00:12:01,649
does not have a personal connection...
172
00:12:01,805 --> 00:12:03,807
No, no. Thank you.
173
00:12:06,601 --> 00:12:08,353
- I'll handle it.
- All right.
174
00:12:09,813 --> 00:12:13,316
Well, let's find out
if it's even real, okay?
175
00:12:14,443 --> 00:12:15,986
And then we will go from there.
176
00:12:16,486 --> 00:12:18,363
Okay.
177
00:12:18,864 --> 00:12:20,782
- Yeah, you got this.
- Thank you.
178
00:12:26,496 --> 00:12:27,622
Fuck.
179
00:12:27,706 --> 00:12:29,207
All right.
180
00:12:31,001 --> 00:12:33,170
- Earl, hit me.
- No names yet.
181
00:12:33,253 --> 00:12:35,964
Insider trading laws are a bitch.
Wish I could get in the mix.
182
00:12:36,048 --> 00:12:38,657
Come Friday, these mystery buyers,
183
00:12:38,667 --> 00:12:40,750
they're gonna ra... rake it in.
184
00:12:40,761 --> 00:12:45,349
Buyer. My guy at Goldman told
me that one LLC is behind it all.
185
00:12:46,516 --> 00:12:48,310
A s-single player, huh?
186
00:12:49,436 --> 00:12:51,521
Well, someone is getting
very, very greedy.
187
00:12:52,022 --> 00:12:53,398
I'll keep chasing the name.
188
00:12:53,899 --> 00:12:56,693
Yeah, you do that.
189
00:12:57,194 --> 00:12:58,987
Kyle, is, uh, Paul
still in the building?
190
00:12:59,071 --> 00:13:01,073
Uh, he's in back-to-backs
with BA and Legal.
191
00:13:01,156 --> 00:13:02,449
Want me to try to get him?
192
00:13:04,493 --> 00:13:05,494
No, I'll find him.
193
00:13:06,495 --> 00:13:08,163
- I look forward to hearing about that.
- Great.
194
00:13:08,213 --> 00:13:09,712
Thank you very much.
195
00:13:14,169 --> 00:13:15,420
Hey, there he is.
196
00:13:15,504 --> 00:13:16,505
Cory.
197
00:13:16,588 --> 00:13:18,298
Paul. Hey, you, um,
198
00:13:18,382 --> 00:13:20,425
see the proofs for the,
uh, thing the other day?
199
00:13:20,509 --> 00:13:22,135
- They just sent them over.
- I did not.
200
00:13:22,219 --> 00:13:23,428
What do you think? How do we look?
201
00:13:23,512 --> 00:13:26,556
Oh, yeah. Like the, uh,
titans of industry that we are.
202
00:13:28,767 --> 00:13:29,935
Well, about the other day.
203
00:13:30,018 --> 00:13:33,522
Uh, whatever I said, I
apologize. Just one of those days.
204
00:13:34,231 --> 00:13:38,068
Hey, it's the private
playing poor, you know?
205
00:13:38,151 --> 00:13:40,821
They think they're doing you a favor.
Hey, real quick, while I got you.
206
00:13:40,904 --> 00:13:44,241
There's been some sizable
UBA stock purchases today.
207
00:13:44,697 --> 00:13:46,966
And, uh, I heard through the grapevine,
208
00:13:46,976 --> 00:13:48,859
that there's one LLC behind them all.
209
00:13:48,870 --> 00:13:50,299
You don't have a buddy trying to get in
210
00:13:50,309 --> 00:13:51,719
while the getting's good, do you?
211
00:13:51,730 --> 00:13:53,531
- No, nobody I know of.
- Right.
212
00:13:53,542 --> 00:13:56,753
I mean, doesn't really matter,
right? It's a formality at this point.
213
00:13:56,837 --> 00:13:58,880
- We already have the votes.
- Exactly.
214
00:13:58,964 --> 00:14:03,468
T-minus four days.
215
00:14:06,555 --> 00:14:08,223
Knock, knock.
216
00:14:09,224 --> 00:14:11,643
It's 10:30 in the
morning. You stalking me?
217
00:14:12,894 --> 00:14:15,022
- It's not our anniversary, is it? Shit.
- Oh, no, no.
218
00:14:15,105 --> 00:14:17,524
- That's next week. You're good. Mmm.
- Ah.
219
00:14:17,607 --> 00:14:20,986
Baby.
220
00:14:21,069 --> 00:14:22,821
- My husband...
- Mm-hmm.
221
00:14:22,904 --> 00:14:26,450
- ... dropping by spontaneously with flowers.
- Mm-hmm.
222
00:14:26,533 --> 00:14:28,452
What Naima do?
223
00:14:28,535 --> 00:14:31,329
- I'm not buying another hamster.
- There's nothing wrong.
224
00:14:31,413 --> 00:14:33,749
- Don't play with me.
- Noth... Nothing's wrong.
225
00:14:33,832 --> 00:14:34,833
Okay.
226
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:38,754
I got a call from your
favorite sports network.
227
00:14:38,837 --> 00:14:41,214
They wanna set a meeting. And
they got it bad for you too.
228
00:14:41,298 --> 00:14:43,300
Frankly, I'm a little jealous.
229
00:14:44,259 --> 00:14:46,595
- Have they seen my social media?
- Of course.
230
00:14:46,678 --> 00:14:48,847
They love your voice, your passion.
231
00:14:48,930 --> 00:14:50,640
Or they wanna hire someone like me
232
00:14:50,724 --> 00:14:52,506
so they can appear to be making a change
233
00:14:52,516 --> 00:14:53,810
without actually doing anything.
234
00:14:53,821 --> 00:14:57,137
Look, if you want to chase
hard news, we can negotiate that.
235
00:14:57,898 --> 00:14:59,524
Mmm. Sports again?
236
00:15:00,067 --> 00:15:02,611
I mentioned that you want to
do the Brittney Griner special.
237
00:15:03,111 --> 00:15:06,531
They're all in. So what do you think?
238
00:15:06,615 --> 00:15:09,326
You wanna mix shit up?
239
00:15:12,704 --> 00:15:14,623
You don't need Paul Marks.
240
00:15:30,764 --> 00:15:32,140
Am I interrupting?
241
00:15:33,642 --> 00:15:35,477
- Maggie.
- Long time.
242
00:15:36,019 --> 00:15:38,021
What... What brings you here?
243
00:15:38,105 --> 00:15:41,066
Oh, I was just talking to
Leonard about the acquisition.
244
00:15:41,149 --> 00:15:42,484
I'm doing a piece for The Times.
245
00:15:42,794 --> 00:15:44,014
Right.
246
00:15:44,352 --> 00:15:48,063
Right. Okay. Well, I sadly... I
don't have anything to add to that.
247
00:15:48,074 --> 00:15:50,451
I promise my tape recorder
is off. Can I come in?
248
00:15:52,369 --> 00:15:53,578
Wow.
249
00:15:56,081 --> 00:15:57,374
You've done well for yourself.
250
00:15:57,623 --> 00:15:59,852
I mean, first, a...
a best-selling book,
251
00:15:59,862 --> 00:16:01,993
then a hit show beloved by America.
252
00:16:02,004 --> 00:16:03,171
You're thriving.
253
00:16:03,255 --> 00:16:06,466
Well, you know, it's been a...
it's been a busy few years.
254
00:16:06,550 --> 00:16:11,096
That is an understatement. Can I?
255
00:16:11,888 --> 00:16:14,808
- Of course.
- I won't stay long.
256
00:16:14,891 --> 00:16:18,020
- Okay.
- I just wanted to say hi.
257
00:16:18,103 --> 00:16:19,104
All right.
258
00:16:19,855 --> 00:16:22,482
I know we didn't leave
things on the best of terms,
259
00:16:23,483 --> 00:16:25,235
but I'm out of the shame business.
260
00:16:25,318 --> 00:16:29,990
I just wanted to say that
the things you've done,
261
00:16:30,073 --> 00:16:32,367
the changes you've made
an... and undergone,
262
00:16:33,243 --> 00:16:34,536
have been impressive to watch.
263
00:16:36,329 --> 00:16:39,875
I'm sorry. I just... That's
not what I was expecting.
264
00:16:39,911 --> 00:16:41,873
I get it. I do. And I'll be the first
265
00:16:41,883 --> 00:16:43,907
to admit that if this was a year ago,
266
00:16:43,918 --> 00:16:47,955
I probably would be standing here
asking you about your relationship
267
00:16:47,966 --> 00:16:50,635
with the aerospace billionaire
about to buy this company.
268
00:16:50,719 --> 00:16:53,096
But I'm more interested
in the deal itself
269
00:16:53,180 --> 00:16:56,975
and... and what it portends for
the future of broadcast television.
270
00:16:57,726 --> 00:17:01,313
Well, I, uh... I appreciate
the olive branch. I really do.
271
00:17:01,396 --> 00:17:02,397
Hmm...
272
00:17:05,691 --> 00:17:08,445
Can I just ask... and this
is obviously off the record...
273
00:17:08,527 --> 00:17:10,447
- Okay.
- What's your plan?
274
00:17:11,782 --> 00:17:13,935
I mean, after this deal goes through,
275
00:17:14,267 --> 00:17:17,079
do you keep working here under Cory?
276
00:17:22,042 --> 00:17:24,835
Yeah, well, I guess I'm still
f... you know, figuring that out.
277
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,282
I'm sure. And I'm sure everyone here is
278
00:17:28,292 --> 00:17:30,802
relieved to be able
to fight another day.
279
00:17:30,813 --> 00:17:35,808
Yeah. About that, um, can I ask
you a question off the record?
280
00:17:36,098 --> 00:17:39,613
- Of course.
- With so much changing in the industry...
281
00:17:39,624 --> 00:17:41,300
I mean, once this deal goes through,
282
00:17:41,311 --> 00:17:45,857
what do you think UBA's chances
of survival are, long-term?
283
00:17:45,941 --> 00:17:49,403
What are the chances of any of these
legacy media companies surviving?
284
00:17:49,486 --> 00:17:51,530
I don't know how
much you've heard, but...
285
00:17:51,613 --> 00:17:53,490
NBN is already facing cuts.
286
00:17:53,573 --> 00:17:55,784
Ten percent of the staff.
That's not a drop in the bucket.
287
00:17:56,785 --> 00:17:58,829
So, to answer your question,
288
00:17:58,912 --> 00:18:00,622
Paul Marks buying out UBA...
289
00:18:00,706 --> 00:18:05,669
may keep the doors open
for three, maybe five years,
290
00:18:05,752 --> 00:18:11,550
but my guess is eventually
the big three, UBA, NBN, CBA,
291
00:18:12,175 --> 00:18:15,053
they cannibalize each other and die off.
292
00:18:15,887 --> 00:18:19,850
Regardless, I think you will do
great things here while you can.
293
00:18:19,933 --> 00:18:21,059
And I... I mean that.
294
00:18:23,107 --> 00:18:25,271
When the storm comes for us all,
295
00:18:25,281 --> 00:18:28,056
let's hope we're both on high ground.
296
00:18:30,902 --> 00:18:32,746
And by the way, how's Bradley?
297
00:18:33,530 --> 00:18:37,422
Sh... She's great, you
know? Fighting the fight.
298
00:18:37,433 --> 00:18:39,977
I just have to say that in all my years,
299
00:18:39,995 --> 00:18:41,597
I have never seen an anchor have a
300
00:18:41,607 --> 00:18:43,623
colleague's back the way she had yours.
301
00:18:44,124 --> 00:18:46,043
That was really something.
302
00:18:56,345 --> 00:18:58,055
Hey, what do you got for me?
303
00:18:58,138 --> 00:19:01,099
You were right. The
bankers lowballed the assets.
304
00:19:01,183 --> 00:19:05,723
Fred said that, uh, it's
closer to 20 bil for sports,
305
00:19:05,863 --> 00:19:08,023
30 for the studio and library.
306
00:19:08,106 --> 00:19:10,567
Easiest 10 billion you'll ever make.
307
00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:12,277
Oh, that gets Hyperion back on track.
308
00:19:12,778 --> 00:19:15,989
Speaking of, I got a call from Texas.
309
00:19:16,907 --> 00:19:20,202
Bradley Jackson's looking for
dirt. You don't think Alex...
310
00:19:20,285 --> 00:19:24,539
No, but... keep an eye
on Bradley, will you?
311
00:19:25,624 --> 00:19:29,086
- Anything with Cory yet?
- I'm still digging.
312
00:19:36,385 --> 00:19:37,928
- Hey, you.
- Hey.
313
00:19:38,011 --> 00:19:39,304
- You're here late.
- I know.
314
00:19:39,388 --> 00:19:43,392
I just like wandering around when
no one's here staring or whispering.
315
00:19:43,475 --> 00:19:45,477
Oh, God, people suck.
316
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,854
I know. They do. Can I
talk to you for a second?
317
00:19:47,938 --> 00:19:49,064
Sure.
318
00:19:49,147 --> 00:19:51,191
- Could we go in your office? Okay.
- Yeah.
319
00:19:51,692 --> 00:19:53,026
- What's going on?
- Okay.
320
00:19:54,611 --> 00:19:56,530
Can we keep this... between us, please?
321
00:19:57,072 --> 00:19:58,323
Always. Yes.
322
00:19:58,407 --> 00:20:00,242
Um, so I've been thinking a lot about...
323
00:20:00,253 --> 00:20:02,242
what's gonna happen
once the deal goes through.
324
00:20:02,253 --> 00:20:04,110
What do you mean? What's gonna happen?
325
00:20:04,121 --> 00:20:05,831
Well, I, um...
326
00:20:05,914 --> 00:20:10,002
I think I wanna start my own
thing. Something completely new.
327
00:20:10,085 --> 00:20:11,920
Oh.
328
00:20:12,546 --> 00:20:16,174
I... So you mean leaving UBA?
329
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:17,926
It would mean leaving.
330
00:20:18,677 --> 00:20:22,431
Oh. Does this have anything
to do with you and Paul,
331
00:20:22,514 --> 00:20:26,184
- or you guys being together?
- No. No, no, no, no, no. No.
332
00:20:26,727 --> 00:20:30,105
Okay. 'Cause we talked
about making change here.
333
00:20:30,188 --> 00:20:31,189
That was...
334
00:20:31,690 --> 00:20:32,983
That was kinda the whole point.
335
00:20:33,066 --> 00:20:35,652
Yes, it was. And it is,
and it's still the point.
336
00:20:35,736 --> 00:20:37,821
And that's why... that's why I'm here.
337
00:20:37,904 --> 00:20:40,073
I just think, as long as we're at UBA,
338
00:20:40,157 --> 00:20:43,076
we will always be working
underneath someone.
339
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,870
We're at the height of our careers,
340
00:20:44,953 --> 00:20:47,789
and my show can get recut
by Cory whenever he wants?
341
00:20:47,873 --> 00:20:49,208
And you're on the evening news,
342
00:20:49,218 --> 00:20:51,248
and... and you can't report on abortion?
343
00:20:51,259 --> 00:20:53,242
- Mm-hmm.
- Really? What the fuck?
344
00:20:53,253 --> 00:20:56,798
And not to mention all the bullshit
that came out in light of the hack?
345
00:20:59,468 --> 00:21:01,553
So that's why I'm here. I...
346
00:21:01,636 --> 00:21:03,398
Bradley, I think you should come
347
00:21:03,408 --> 00:21:05,265
with me, and I think we should do this.
348
00:21:05,349 --> 00:21:07,392
And we should start
it from the ground up,
349
00:21:08,143 --> 00:21:10,020
you and I, and just
finish what we started.
350
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,439
Wow.
351
00:21:13,982 --> 00:21:16,304
That is...
352
00:21:16,314 --> 00:21:17,641
not what I thought you were gonna say.
353
00:21:17,652 --> 00:21:19,363
Well, I mean, it... it sounds great,
354
00:21:20,228 --> 00:21:23,590
but I have a lot of
work here to do at UBA
355
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,775
and... and a lot of
commitments I've made.
356
00:21:25,786 --> 00:21:28,588
- Well...
- And if I'm gonna be completely candid,
357
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,917
I think the wrong guy
is buying this place.
358
00:21:32,417 --> 00:21:35,379
The wrong guy is buying it?
What are you talking about?
359
00:21:35,462 --> 00:21:37,881
Listen, Alex, something's
going on at Hyperion.
360
00:21:38,757 --> 00:21:41,343
People are pissed, and it's about Paul.
361
00:21:42,010 --> 00:21:43,011
Okay.
362
00:21:43,095 --> 00:21:45,430
They're saying they don't like
how he operates his business.
363
00:21:45,514 --> 00:21:49,226
- Okay. Can you get a little more specific?
- How well do you know this guy?
364
00:21:50,519 --> 00:21:53,313
I mean, it feels like
you guys started dating,
365
00:21:53,397 --> 00:21:55,315
and all of a sudden, it went...
366
00:21:55,399 --> 00:21:57,901
Are you sure you really know who he is?
367
00:21:57,984 --> 00:21:58,985
What does that mean?
368
00:21:59,069 --> 00:22:01,238
- How well do you know him?
- I know him well...
369
00:22:01,321 --> 00:22:03,949
How well do you know him? Do you
even know what you're talking about?
370
00:22:04,032 --> 00:22:07,160
This guy is... is... This
is a $40 billion deal.
371
00:22:07,661 --> 00:22:09,746
Do you know how much is at stake here?
372
00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:12,457
Of course, every Joe Schmo is
gonna come out of the woodwork
373
00:22:12,541 --> 00:22:13,709
and try to take him down...
374
00:22:13,792 --> 00:22:15,043
- Mm-hmm.
- ... talk shit about him.
375
00:22:15,127 --> 00:22:18,880
- I think it's a little more than that.
- Are you f... serious? Don't be so naive.
376
00:22:18,964 --> 00:22:21,049
And honestly, do you...
you have anything specific?
377
00:22:21,133 --> 00:22:23,635
Do you have actual evidence
on what you're saying here?
378
00:22:23,719 --> 00:22:25,721
Look, Alex, I think...
379
00:22:25,804 --> 00:22:26,805
No?
380
00:22:28,056 --> 00:22:29,891
I think it's hard for you
to be objective about this.
381
00:22:29,975 --> 00:22:32,602
Oh, my God. Wow, people really do suck.
382
00:22:33,353 --> 00:22:35,814
I can't believe that, coming from you.
383
00:22:35,897 --> 00:22:36,898
Honestly.
384
00:22:37,482 --> 00:22:39,109
Alex, come on.
385
00:22:39,192 --> 00:22:41,107
I'm saying this because
I care about you.
386
00:22:41,117 --> 00:22:42,487
I'm actually worried about you.
387
00:22:42,571 --> 00:22:45,615
Okay, well, I'm really
glad you said something
388
00:22:45,699 --> 00:22:47,743
because I wouldn't have known otherwise.
389
00:22:48,326 --> 00:22:49,703
Goddamn it.
390
00:22:49,786 --> 00:22:53,457
Jesus Christ.
391
00:23:01,214 --> 00:23:02,215
Hello?
392
00:23:02,299 --> 00:23:03,508
Hi. It's Laura.
393
00:23:04,009 --> 00:23:07,763
Oh. Hey, Laura. Uh,
is... is Bradley okay?
394
00:23:07,918 --> 00:23:10,963
Yes, she's fine. Uh, did
I catch you at a bad time?
395
00:23:10,974 --> 00:23:12,934
Oh, no, uh... No, no,
no. I'm jus... Um...
396
00:23:13,018 --> 00:23:15,771
Well, I'm headed in my... my home
group. But, uh, I... I got a minute.
397
00:23:15,854 --> 00:23:16,855
What... What's up?
398
00:23:16,931 --> 00:23:18,933
I was thinking, um, that we could all
399
00:23:18,943 --> 00:23:21,353
get together for Fourth of July weekend.
400
00:23:21,443 --> 00:23:23,070
You, me, Bradley, Cheryl.
401
00:23:23,570 --> 00:23:27,032
Uh, yeah, th... yeah, that'd be good.
402
00:23:27,115 --> 00:23:30,077
Uh, well, you won't believe,
uh, how big Taylor's getting.
403
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,661
She's... She's already walking.
404
00:23:31,745 --> 00:23:36,249
Um, yeah. So, I have to
cover the parade in DC.
405
00:23:36,917 --> 00:23:38,168
Um, why don't you meet us there?
406
00:23:40,379 --> 00:23:42,798
Great. That s...
That sounds... That sounds fun.
407
00:23:42,881 --> 00:23:44,049
Have you ever been?
408
00:23:45,175 --> 00:23:46,176
To DC?
409
00:23:48,595 --> 00:23:51,723
Uh, not since high school.
410
00:23:52,391 --> 00:23:54,685
Uh... yeah, I've...
I've been meaning to.
411
00:23:54,768 --> 00:23:56,895
I've... I've
just never got around to it.
412
00:23:59,564 --> 00:24:02,693
You'll love it. The
fireworks are incredible.
413
00:24:03,193 --> 00:24:04,778
Great. That sounds amazing.
414
00:24:05,404 --> 00:24:06,738
All right. We'll see you then.
415
00:24:17,541 --> 00:24:18,709
Hi, baby.
416
00:24:19,209 --> 00:24:21,586
Hey, sweet boy. Hey, sweet baby.
417
00:24:47,988 --> 00:24:49,114
Hey.
418
00:24:49,197 --> 00:24:51,158
Hey. Perfect timing.
The food just got here.
419
00:24:53,785 --> 00:24:55,162
Mmm.
420
00:24:58,540 --> 00:25:00,500
What's up?
421
00:25:01,043 --> 00:25:02,044
I'm ready.
422
00:25:03,503 --> 00:25:04,713
- You're ready?
- Oh, yeah.
423
00:25:04,796 --> 00:25:06,131
- You sure?
- I'm sure.
424
00:25:06,882 --> 00:25:07,883
Great.
425
00:25:13,764 --> 00:25:15,223
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
426
00:25:17,309 --> 00:25:19,311
He's behind schedule and out of money.
427
00:25:19,394 --> 00:25:21,396
Chip just talked to a
foreman that works down there.
428
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,690
He and his crew have been working
on Hyperion through the night
429
00:25:23,774 --> 00:25:24,775
and not being paid for it.
430
00:25:24,858 --> 00:25:27,861
Building rockets, guys.
Come on. It's fucking hard.
431
00:25:27,944 --> 00:25:30,322
Uh, of course he's
behind schedule. Come on.
432
00:25:30,405 --> 00:25:33,825
My friend worked for Paul a dozen
years. She's an aerospace engineer.
433
00:25:33,909 --> 00:25:36,661
Last week, he fired her
for raising safety concerns.
434
00:25:36,745 --> 00:25:38,494
She came to me to blow the whistle, and
435
00:25:38,504 --> 00:25:40,832
then something or someone silenced her.
436
00:25:40,916 --> 00:25:42,045
And that's what we're hearing from
437
00:25:42,055 --> 00:25:43,730
every engineer we talk to at Hyperion.
438
00:25:43,741 --> 00:25:45,743
Paul is hiding something, Cory.
439
00:25:45,754 --> 00:25:47,449
And i-it's bad enough that nobody wants
440
00:25:47,459 --> 00:25:48,913
to talk about it. They're all scared.
441
00:25:48,924 --> 00:25:52,260
The guy has invented all
kinds of proprietary tech.
442
00:25:52,344 --> 00:25:54,971
I would imagine that he
is anxious to protect it.
443
00:25:55,127 --> 00:25:56,744
I'm guessing you haven't read the
444
00:25:56,754 --> 00:25:58,297
after-action report on the cyberattack?
445
00:25:58,308 --> 00:25:59,810
I was waiting for the CliffNotes.
446
00:25:59,893 --> 00:26:01,632
Victor says the transmission failure
447
00:26:01,642 --> 00:26:03,647
during the launch was on Hyperion's end,
448
00:26:03,730 --> 00:26:04,731
not ours.
449
00:26:04,815 --> 00:26:06,650
Something went wrong, and
instead of reporting it,
450
00:26:06,733 --> 00:26:09,569
- Paul blamed it on our cyberattack.
- We were on that rocket.
451
00:26:09,653 --> 00:26:13,240
- And... we were fine.
- Were we?
452
00:26:13,323 --> 00:26:15,117
Or was her friend trying to warn us?
453
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,327
Or maybe that's what all the
engineers are scared about,
454
00:26:17,411 --> 00:26:19,246
because something bad
could have happened, Cory.
455
00:26:19,329 --> 00:26:21,748
We have to delay the
vote. We need more time.
456
00:26:21,832 --> 00:26:23,083
Only the board can delay the vote,
457
00:26:23,166 --> 00:26:25,585
and I can guarantee you they're not
gonna do it for a bunch of maybes.
458
00:26:30,382 --> 00:26:32,134
All right. Well, I-I'm
gonna keep chasing this.
459
00:26:32,217 --> 00:26:33,677
I expect nothing less.
460
00:26:37,442 --> 00:26:39,756
I should have taken
a harder stand against
461
00:26:39,766 --> 00:26:41,655
him from the beginning of all of this.
462
00:26:42,477 --> 00:26:44,479
I didn't trust myself. That's on me.
463
00:26:44,563 --> 00:26:48,025
Stella, come on.
Y-You're gonna be fine.
464
00:26:48,036 --> 00:26:49,557
Once the deal goes through,
465
00:26:49,567 --> 00:26:50,725
y-you're gonna be more than fine.
466
00:26:50,736 --> 00:26:53,238
You're gonna have more resources
than you know what to do with.
467
00:26:53,739 --> 00:26:54,740
Mm-hmm.
468
00:26:57,367 --> 00:27:00,787
You make people feel
anything is possible.
469
00:27:01,455 --> 00:27:04,291
It's really effective. It's
probably why I took this job.
470
00:27:05,208 --> 00:27:09,171
Paul does the same thing,
that anything-is-possible act.
471
00:27:09,254 --> 00:27:12,085
But it isn't real, Cory.
It's all smoke and mirrors.
472
00:27:12,096 --> 00:27:13,178
And I thought that was a difference
473
00:27:13,188 --> 00:27:14,848
between you two, but
now I'm not so sure.
474
00:27:15,591 --> 00:27:18,886
I know we have to find a
way to keep the doors open,
475
00:27:19,431 --> 00:27:22,601
but he's infected you. He does that.
476
00:27:22,684 --> 00:27:26,688
He's like a... a virus, and I
have already survived the plague.
477
00:27:26,772 --> 00:27:28,065
So, yeah...
478
00:27:30,192 --> 00:27:31,360
I'm gonna be fine.
479
00:27:31,860 --> 00:27:34,571
Because after the deal goes
through, I won't be here.
480
00:27:34,654 --> 00:27:35,989
I just want you to know that.
481
00:27:42,312 --> 00:27:44,654
Cory crossed a line. Seriously,
482
00:27:44,664 --> 00:27:48,777
this is some fucking
McCarthy-era bullshit.
483
00:27:50,754 --> 00:27:52,829
Turns out, the night manager at
484
00:27:52,839 --> 00:27:55,425
the Archer Gray doesn't delete anything.
485
00:27:55,509 --> 00:27:58,762
- He has quite the treasure trove.
- Nice work. And Bradley?
486
00:27:58,845 --> 00:28:02,307
She will get someone to talk.
If that someone is Kate...
487
00:28:02,391 --> 00:28:04,226
Well, let's make sure that it isn't.
488
00:28:05,435 --> 00:28:07,270
They think she took some
things when she left.
489
00:28:07,354 --> 00:28:10,691
Records, logs. It could follow us.
490
00:28:13,276 --> 00:28:15,278
Find out... and kill it.
491
00:28:19,032 --> 00:28:20,409
Hey.
492
00:28:24,121 --> 00:28:25,930
I brought you some cookies.
493
00:28:25,940 --> 00:28:28,250
I thought they might
cheer you up a little bit.
494
00:28:29,209 --> 00:28:31,391
Are you okay? Do you
need to see a doctor?
495
00:28:31,401 --> 00:28:32,546
I don't care if you're contagious.
496
00:28:32,629 --> 00:28:35,340
- I'm giving you a hug. What? What?
- No, no, no, no, no.
497
00:28:35,424 --> 00:28:36,425
Stay away.
498
00:28:37,268 --> 00:28:38,508
What happened?
499
00:28:39,845 --> 00:28:41,179
You should have fucked him.
500
00:28:42,389 --> 00:28:44,975
- What?
- Cory. You should have just fucked him.
501
00:28:45,475 --> 00:28:47,060
At least I could wrap
my head around that.
502
00:28:47,144 --> 00:28:49,479
I don't understand. You're...
503
00:28:49,563 --> 00:28:52,524
- You're kinda scaring me, Laura.
- Hal's a terrorist, but I'm scaring you?
504
00:29:01,116 --> 00:29:02,117
I didn't wanna believe it.
505
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,203
- Um...
- I tried so, so hard not to believe it.
506
00:29:05,287 --> 00:29:08,749
Bradley to the rescue. You cleaned
up his mess like you always do.
507
00:29:08,832 --> 00:29:13,545
Look, I... I wanted to
tell you so many times.
508
00:29:13,628 --> 00:29:16,465
So it's true. It's really true.
509
00:29:17,341 --> 00:29:19,509
- Just let me...
- Don't, don't!
510
00:29:19,593 --> 00:29:24,806
- I will lose my shit. Back the fuck off.
- Okay. All right. Okay. Okay.
511
00:29:27,726 --> 00:29:28,810
That fucking pin.
512
00:29:30,729 --> 00:29:33,065
- What?
- Fucking Geraldine Ferraro.
513
00:29:33,732 --> 00:29:37,903
- I thought you and Cory were...
- No. Laura, no. Never ever.
514
00:29:37,986 --> 00:29:41,656
He lied to the FBI. For you.
515
00:29:43,658 --> 00:29:44,659
That's love.
516
00:29:44,743 --> 00:29:48,246
I'm dreaming about
being with you in Montana
517
00:29:48,330 --> 00:29:51,917
while you're sharing
this thing with him.
518
00:29:52,072 --> 00:29:54,655
Look, let me... let
me just explain. I...
519
00:29:54,665 --> 00:29:56,410
I just... I... I want to explain to you.
520
00:29:56,421 --> 00:29:59,257
I know I made a huge mistake. I know it.
521
00:29:59,741 --> 00:30:03,156
But what you don't understand
is I had to make a choice.
522
00:30:03,167 --> 00:30:07,307
- I couldn't let Hal ruin his life.
- So you ruined ours?
523
00:30:07,606 --> 00:30:10,977
- No, he didn't mean to hurt that cop.
- Oh, my God. Bradley,
524
00:30:11,061 --> 00:30:15,816
he attacked a police officer?
Jesus. What is wrong with you?
525
00:30:15,899 --> 00:30:17,984
- I know, I know.
- My God. That's why you d...
526
00:30:18,068 --> 00:30:21,905
Oh, no, no, no. What am I think...
No, you wanted Evening News.
527
00:30:21,988 --> 00:30:24,032
- Oh, my God. I almost forgot that part.
- That is not fair.
528
00:30:24,116 --> 00:30:25,450
Oh, fuck fair.
529
00:30:25,534 --> 00:30:27,119
You fucking broke every rule.
530
00:30:27,202 --> 00:30:30,414
How do you sit in
that chair every night?
531
00:30:31,248 --> 00:30:32,749
It is obscene.
532
00:30:34,626 --> 00:30:38,046
Trust me, I... I know, but I'm
gonna make it right. I promise you.
533
00:30:38,130 --> 00:30:39,297
Oh, that's such a lie.
534
00:30:39,381 --> 00:30:41,508
Everything about you is a lie.
535
00:30:41,591 --> 00:30:42,884
I'm sorry.
536
00:30:45,512 --> 00:30:48,223
- I'm sorry.
- You need to leave. Get out of here.
537
00:30:48,306 --> 00:30:51,143
- N...
- I'm not calling the FBI.
538
00:30:51,226 --> 00:30:53,270
- I'm not reporting any of this.
- No...
539
00:30:53,353 --> 00:30:57,774
I want nothing to do with it,
and I want nothing to do with you.
540
00:30:57,858 --> 00:31:00,027
- No. I'll do anything, Laura.
- I am done with you.
541
00:31:00,110 --> 00:31:01,570
- I'll do anything to make it better.
- Oh...
542
00:31:01,653 --> 00:31:03,655
- Just tell me what I can do.
- Bradley, you'll be fine.
543
00:31:03,739 --> 00:31:05,282
You're a survivor.
544
00:31:05,365 --> 00:31:07,659
You'll do anything,
right? That's what you do.
545
00:31:08,285 --> 00:31:12,039
Now get out before I change my mind.
546
00:31:22,215 --> 00:31:23,592
Please, Laura. Plea...
547
00:31:30,223 --> 00:31:32,059
I thought we would get old together.
548
00:31:34,436 --> 00:31:35,437
I really did.
549
00:32:09,596 --> 00:32:12,307
- Hello, Kyle.
- Uh, is he expecting you?
550
00:32:12,391 --> 00:32:17,187
- Not at all.
- Wow, Cybil, what a surprise.
551
00:32:17,270 --> 00:32:19,356
Oh. Uh, don't tell me. Let me guess.
552
00:32:19,439 --> 00:32:21,358
You forgot your white hood, right?
553
00:32:21,441 --> 00:32:23,485
I'll have Kyle check
the lost and found, okay?
554
00:32:23,568 --> 00:32:27,864
Do you know, when you became
CEO, my expectations were low.
555
00:32:28,448 --> 00:32:31,034
It turns out, I overestimated you.
556
00:32:31,118 --> 00:32:32,994
You missed me.
557
00:32:33,078 --> 00:32:37,290
Whatever Paul Marks is paying
for the possession of your soul,
558
00:32:37,374 --> 00:32:38,500
I will double it.
559
00:32:39,376 --> 00:32:40,377
Name your price.
560
00:32:40,460 --> 00:32:43,922
You want... You want a chunk
of my new shares? They're yours.
561
00:32:44,006 --> 00:32:48,093
Aah, well... mystery solved.
562
00:32:48,593 --> 00:32:50,178
I had my money on Miss Scarlet,
563
00:32:50,262 --> 00:32:53,515
and it turns out it was Mrs. White
in the conservatory with an LLC.
564
00:32:53,598 --> 00:32:56,226
Did you really think
that I would sit back
565
00:32:56,309 --> 00:32:59,938
while a bunch of thugs
destroy my family's company?
566
00:33:00,209 --> 00:33:02,732
You don't have the
votes to stop the sale.
567
00:33:02,868 --> 00:33:04,078
Yet,
568
00:33:04,443 --> 00:33:08,030
I will keep fighting till
the bitter end. Believe me.
569
00:33:08,185 --> 00:33:10,312
Cybil, by this time Friday,
570
00:33:10,323 --> 00:33:13,006
UBA will be the biggest network...
571
00:33:13,017 --> 00:33:16,195
in the country, with the widest
reach and the deepest pockets.
572
00:33:16,206 --> 00:33:18,738
You need to embrace the inevitable.
573
00:33:18,749 --> 00:33:22,085
This is a win.
574
00:33:23,086 --> 00:33:24,338
Oh, my God.
575
00:33:25,714 --> 00:33:26,757
You don't know.
576
00:33:28,342 --> 00:33:30,844
- You really don't know.
- No, what don't I know?
577
00:33:30,927 --> 00:33:34,389
Okay. Okay.
578
00:33:34,473 --> 00:33:39,186
I ran into Genevieve Micklen
the other day at the salon.
579
00:33:40,020 --> 00:33:41,396
And normally, I avoid her.
580
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,609
I mean, who cares about her horses
and her ridiculous blond highlights?
581
00:33:45,692 --> 00:33:47,611
But she had words for me,
582
00:33:48,528 --> 00:33:51,448
and she was all too happy
to rub it in my face.
583
00:33:51,531 --> 00:33:52,783
Okay. What are you talking about?
584
00:33:52,866 --> 00:33:56,244
Paul Marks is stripping
the network for parts,
585
00:33:57,537 --> 00:33:59,623
and Fred is helping him price the sale.
586
00:34:00,624 --> 00:34:05,462
Sports division, content
library, the studio, the news.
587
00:34:06,129 --> 00:34:09,090
They're dismantling the entire company,
588
00:34:10,050 --> 00:34:13,679
including your precious streamer.
589
00:34:15,305 --> 00:34:16,807
Do I have your attention now?
590
00:34:21,395 --> 00:34:22,688
Have a nice day, Cybil.
591
00:34:42,282 --> 00:34:44,117
I'm not around.
592
00:34:59,266 --> 00:35:00,726
Fuck!
593
00:35:19,578 --> 00:35:20,579
Hey, Isabella.
594
00:35:20,662 --> 00:35:21,663
Hi, Cory.
595
00:35:25,042 --> 00:35:26,126
We don't knock anymore?
596
00:35:26,209 --> 00:35:28,128
- Are you part of this?
- A part of what?
597
00:35:28,211 --> 00:35:29,588
Oh, f-fuck.
598
00:35:30,630 --> 00:35:33,258
- Are you bleeding?
- Ah, yeah, you are. Of course you are.
599
00:35:33,342 --> 00:35:36,261
Hey, when Paul stood up in
front of the news division
600
00:35:36,345 --> 00:35:37,674
and he said that he would keep his hands
601
00:35:37,684 --> 00:35:39,181
to himself, you were all fired up.
602
00:35:39,192 --> 00:35:42,404
You wanted to protect democracy,
preserve the fourth estate.
603
00:35:42,697 --> 00:35:44,157
Did you know the plan then?
604
00:35:44,285 --> 00:35:47,636
Or did you hash it out while
you were lying together in bed?
605
00:35:47,647 --> 00:35:50,108
Goddamn it, Alex. Oh, fuck me!
606
00:35:50,192 --> 00:35:53,445
Couldn't you have just slashed my tires?
607
00:35:53,528 --> 00:35:58,617
Any goddamn thing except killing
the entire fucking company.
608
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:01,161
Wow. Wow. And I'm so dumb.
609
00:36:01,172 --> 00:36:03,421
Here I thought the never-ending fucking
610
00:36:03,431 --> 00:36:05,686
pandemic was our biggest threat.
611
00:36:06,357 --> 00:36:08,563
But no, it...
it... that... it was in fa...
612
00:36:08,574 --> 00:36:10,951
It's you and... and your boyfriend.
613
00:36:10,962 --> 00:36:14,702
How is it, everything
that held us together... it...
614
00:36:15,474 --> 00:36:18,668
just gone? Fuck me.
615
00:36:18,679 --> 00:36:21,431
Okay, well, yeah. No, you
are actually right about this.
616
00:36:21,515 --> 00:36:24,434
It is time to smash and shatter.
617
00:36:24,518 --> 00:36:27,270
Let's burn it all down,
'cause who gives a fuck?
618
00:36:27,354 --> 00:36:30,065
Let's peddle conspiracy
theories and, um...
619
00:36:30,148 --> 00:36:32,651
and, uh, scream at flight attendants,
620
00:36:32,734 --> 00:36:35,737
and shoot up grocery
stores and subway cars.
621
00:36:35,821 --> 00:36:38,949
Someone out there has got
to pay for our suffering!
622
00:36:42,369 --> 00:36:43,578
Oh, my God.
623
00:36:44,663 --> 00:36:46,581
Oh, my God.
624
00:36:46,665 --> 00:36:49,459
Do you know how many of
these I've had to sit through?
625
00:36:49,543 --> 00:36:53,505
Whew, I'm so sick of your
self-righteous monologues, Cory.
626
00:36:54,506 --> 00:36:56,299
I didn't kill anything.
627
00:36:56,383 --> 00:36:58,510
I've never had the
power to kill anything.
628
00:37:00,303 --> 00:37:01,598
I asked for a seat at that table.
629
00:37:01,608 --> 00:37:03,242
You didn't give me a seat at that table.
630
00:37:03,253 --> 00:37:07,174
And let me remind you, back in
Texas, when you so kindly educated me
631
00:37:07,185 --> 00:37:09,487
that half of the streaming services were
632
00:37:09,497 --> 00:37:12,190
gonna be bought up
or gone in five years,
633
00:37:13,275 --> 00:37:16,445
you said, "This ship is sinking.
Get on board with Paul Marks."
634
00:37:16,528 --> 00:37:17,863
So, I got on board with Paul Marks.
635
00:37:17,946 --> 00:37:19,865
You said, "You've got to
be nice to Paul Marks."
636
00:37:19,948 --> 00:37:23,201
Not that fucking nice, Alex.
637
00:37:23,285 --> 00:37:28,096
- My God. There are 20,000 employees here.
- Oh, don't you fucking dare...
638
00:37:29,708 --> 00:37:31,683
pretend like you give
a shit about anybody
639
00:37:31,693 --> 00:37:33,879
else in this building but yourself.
640
00:37:33,890 --> 00:37:38,019
I've seen the books.
There's nothing left to save.
641
00:37:38,175 --> 00:37:40,010
You were right. Nothing to save.
642
00:37:40,802 --> 00:37:42,763
Can you take responsibility
643
00:37:42,846 --> 00:37:45,140
for one fucking thing that
goes on in this building?
644
00:37:46,433 --> 00:37:49,770
Well, if you'll excuse me,
I have a company to build.
645
00:37:51,730 --> 00:37:54,691
Oh, and those employees that
you say you give a shit about
646
00:37:54,775 --> 00:37:57,027
that you definitely
don't give a shit about?
647
00:37:57,527 --> 00:38:00,697
They're coming with me, and I will
be paying them what they deserve.
648
00:38:07,996 --> 00:38:11,333
Yes, Leonard! The whole fucking
company, lock, stock and barrel.
649
00:38:12,281 --> 00:38:13,551
She'll sell the furniture in the
650
00:38:13,561 --> 00:38:15,117
boardroom by the time this is all over.
651
00:38:15,128 --> 00:38:16,935
Hey, get me some fucking ice!
652
00:38:18,354 --> 00:38:20,498
Leonard. Leonard.
653
00:38:20,509 --> 00:38:23,720
Leonard, take a breath, please.
You're stammering like an idiot.
654
00:38:23,804 --> 00:38:27,015
Well, I just had a low-stress,
respectful, life-affirming conversation
655
00:38:27,099 --> 00:38:29,518
with Cory Ellison. He knows, Paul.
656
00:38:30,018 --> 00:38:31,770
Yeah. Sorry you had to deal with that.
657
00:38:31,853 --> 00:38:33,522
Um, it's bad. This is really bad.
658
00:38:34,481 --> 00:38:37,901
- You know he's gonna hit back.
- Yeah, well, he can... try.
659
00:38:37,984 --> 00:38:40,362
This is exactly what
we didn't want to have happen.
660
00:38:40,445 --> 00:38:42,906
Okay. Look, it's no surprise
that he's pissed off.
661
00:38:42,989 --> 00:38:45,158
There's gonna be a lot of that
going around in the next few weeks.
662
00:38:45,242 --> 00:38:47,994
I know. I know. I wanna go home.
663
00:38:48,078 --> 00:38:49,621
All right. I'll see you
there as soon as I can.
664
00:38:49,705 --> 00:38:50,956
Okay. Bye.
665
00:39:06,847 --> 00:39:08,432
Take me to UBA.
666
00:39:08,515 --> 00:39:12,352
Call a board meeting
tonight. Get everyone here.
667
00:39:12,436 --> 00:39:15,063
They need to know what's
about to happen on their watch.
668
00:39:16,732 --> 00:39:19,943
We need to shut this down right now.
669
00:39:20,027 --> 00:39:22,070
Thank you, Kyle. I'll
keep the ice. Thank you.
670
00:39:44,968 --> 00:39:48,221
Gayle, I just need a minute.
671
00:39:52,684 --> 00:39:53,769
Hey.
672
00:39:55,896 --> 00:39:56,897
Hey.
673
00:39:57,898 --> 00:39:59,441
- What are you doing here?
- Oh, I just...
674
00:39:59,524 --> 00:40:02,486
I had the chance to talk to
quite a few of your colleagues.
675
00:40:02,986 --> 00:40:04,488
Haven't really had a
chance to talk to you.
676
00:40:04,571 --> 00:40:06,239
Not since Texas anyway.
677
00:40:06,823 --> 00:40:10,035
Okay, um, well, I... I
don't have time to talk.
678
00:40:10,046 --> 00:40:11,721
- I have to get back out there.
- This won't take long.
679
00:40:11,732 --> 00:40:13,569
All right. Well, I have 30 seconds.
680
00:40:13,652 --> 00:40:16,238
Okay. Well, then...
681
00:40:16,423 --> 00:40:18,841
I know you're investigating Hyperion
682
00:40:18,919 --> 00:40:23,256
and talking to some of my engineers
and asking people to violate NDAs.
683
00:40:23,399 --> 00:40:25,345
Your company's in serious trouble.
684
00:40:26,093 --> 00:40:27,302
You're out of money.
685
00:40:27,386 --> 00:40:29,846
And what you're doing is not safe.
You're trying to silence people.
686
00:40:29,930 --> 00:40:31,999
Yeah. And if you had anything to back
687
00:40:32,009 --> 00:40:33,642
that up, you would have already run it.
688
00:40:34,309 --> 00:40:37,854
Someone's gonna talk.
It's just a matter of time.
689
00:40:39,731 --> 00:40:43,735
- How's your brother?
- What?
690
00:40:43,819 --> 00:40:45,987
Bradley, now.
691
00:40:46,697 --> 00:40:48,156
No, I... I just need one minute.
692
00:40:53,453 --> 00:40:55,747
Cue the pretape.
Something's off with Bradley.
693
00:40:56,248 --> 00:40:59,459
Your brother, Hal. How's he doing?
694
00:40:59,543 --> 00:41:02,254
Does his wife know what you
did for him at the Capitol?
695
00:41:04,756 --> 00:41:07,634
I mean, conspiracy, sedition,
696
00:41:09,052 --> 00:41:13,765
lying to the FBI, these are
all really serious charges.
697
00:41:13,849 --> 00:41:16,727
You and Cory really
went all in, didn't you?
698
00:41:17,394 --> 00:41:20,063
And then there's Laura's
exposure to this too.
699
00:41:20,147 --> 00:41:24,234
Geez... she knew about it,
and she didn't report it.
700
00:41:24,818 --> 00:41:27,654
That's the kind of thing that
really ruins somebody's credibility.
701
00:41:27,738 --> 00:41:30,657
- Don't bring Laura into this.
- See, I think you already did.
702
00:41:32,117 --> 00:41:35,787
But you can protect
her. And your brother.
703
00:41:35,871 --> 00:41:37,914
You can make it all go away.
704
00:41:44,588 --> 00:41:45,839
Food for thought.
705
00:41:48,050 --> 00:41:49,051
Have a good show.
706
00:42:11,031 --> 00:42:13,950
In five, four, three...
707
00:42:15,410 --> 00:42:19,122
Russian President Vladimir Putin
marked Victory Day on Monday,
708
00:42:19,206 --> 00:42:22,709
the anniversary of the Soviet
Union's defeat of Nazi Germany,
709
00:42:22,793 --> 00:42:27,381
with a speech in Red Square defending
the current invasion of Ukraine.
710
00:42:27,464 --> 00:42:32,636
Putin maintained that what he
calls "a special military operation"
711
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,555
is essential to rebuke
Western aggression.
712
00:42:35,639 --> 00:42:38,266
President Biden made a final push to...
713
00:42:40,352 --> 00:42:42,229
finals...
714
00:42:42,729 --> 00:42:43,814
I'm sorry.
715
00:42:46,274 --> 00:42:47,275
I'm just...
716
00:42:48,735 --> 00:42:51,530
- Bradley, get back to the prompter.
- Um...
717
00:42:55,492 --> 00:42:56,785
The prompter, Bradley.
718
00:43:00,539 --> 00:43:01,540
Um...
719
00:43:04,042 --> 00:43:10,007
I just... I wanted to
make a difference. Somehow.
720
00:43:10,090 --> 00:43:14,845
I wanna help those
people who feel small.
721
00:43:16,138 --> 00:43:17,139
And forgotten.
722
00:43:17,222 --> 00:43:19,725
Bradley, what are you doing?
723
00:43:19,808 --> 00:43:21,560
And during these last three years,
724
00:43:21,643 --> 00:43:23,270
there are so many people
here at this network
725
00:43:23,353 --> 00:43:25,439
who have supported me in that mission.
726
00:43:25,522 --> 00:43:28,608
And I wanna thank a few
of them. Uh, Mia Jordan.
727
00:43:28,692 --> 00:43:29,776
Please stop talking.
728
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:35,991
Charles Black, Gayle Burns,
Stella Bak and Alex Levy.
729
00:43:36,825 --> 00:43:37,826
What?
730
00:43:37,909 --> 00:43:42,831
And, um, I wanna thank you, our
viewers, for allowing me the honor
731
00:43:43,957 --> 00:43:49,129
of being in your living room every
night and sharing the news with you.
732
00:43:49,796 --> 00:43:53,633
It has been my privilege.
733
00:43:53,717 --> 00:43:55,802
It has been a dream come true.
734
00:43:56,553 --> 00:44:00,223
Effective immediately, I'm resigning
from UBA for personal reasons.
735
00:44:01,224 --> 00:44:03,018
This will be my final broadcast.
736
00:44:03,769 --> 00:44:08,231
Thank you for watching.
Stay safe, and good night.
737
00:44:14,196 --> 00:44:16,114
Jump out of this. Cut to commercial.
738
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,334
- Get the fuck out of my way.
- Hey.
739
00:44:28,085 --> 00:44:29,920
Bradley! What's going on?
740
00:44:31,213 --> 00:44:34,591
- Bradley?
- Stop! Hey, talk to me.
741
00:44:34,675 --> 00:44:36,843
I can't. I can't. I gotta go.
742
00:44:37,511 --> 00:44:41,556
Hey, I need to know what's
happening. Bradley! Bradley!
743
00:44:42,599 --> 00:44:44,309
You got anything? She's
not picking up her cell.
744
00:44:44,393 --> 00:44:46,061
Tried her office. She's not picking up.
745
00:44:47,312 --> 00:44:48,647
Where the fuck is she?
746
00:44:48,730 --> 00:44:53,276
Uh, uh, Times called, NBN called,
Bloomberg. What do I tell them?
747
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,404
Tell 'em I don't know what the
fuck is going on with Bradley,
748
00:44:55,487 --> 00:44:57,989
that I'm having a series of
moderate to severe panic attacks,
749
00:44:58,073 --> 00:45:00,575
and that Alex Levy and the
billionaire that she's boning
750
00:45:00,659 --> 00:45:02,508
are about to sell our company for parts
751
00:45:02,518 --> 00:45:04,913
before our own very fucking eyes.
752
00:45:06,039 --> 00:45:08,166
- So tell them...
- Nothing. Tell them nothing.
753
00:45:08,250 --> 00:45:10,836
Can you at least find out if
Bradley is still in the building?
754
00:45:13,714 --> 00:45:15,861
- Did you see it?
- Yes, uh-huh, I did see it.
755
00:45:15,872 --> 00:45:18,022
Did you talk to her or
did... What did she say?
756
00:45:18,301 --> 00:45:20,015
No, not that. This.
757
00:45:20,026 --> 00:45:22,779
- What is this?
- The Vault. It just dropped.
758
00:45:23,557 --> 00:45:26,309
They're saying that you
were grooming Bradley.
759
00:45:26,393 --> 00:45:28,729
That you put her in the same
hotel that you were staying at,
760
00:45:28,812 --> 00:45:31,481
managing her rise at UBA.
761
00:45:31,565 --> 00:45:36,486
When she rejected you, you retaliated
by outing Bradley and Laura.
762
00:45:36,570 --> 00:45:39,386
Paul fucking Marks.
763
00:45:39,397 --> 00:45:40,690
Cory, is it true?
764
00:45:44,202 --> 00:45:47,080
- Now what?
- Security's on their way up.
765
00:45:47,091 --> 00:45:49,215
They've been told to escort
you out of the building.
766
