All language subtitles for Winner.2024.hoetinkhof79

My name is Reality Winner.

Yeah. It's my real name.

You probably haven't heard of me,

but if you have,

it's either because someone told you I was a traitor

or someone told you I was a hero.

For the record, I wasn't trying to be either.

I just thought you should know

your government was lying to you,

so I tried to tell you.

Yeah. They don't like when you do that.

I'm starting this story when I was nine

because at my hearing, the prosecution mentioned

some things I did when I was nine

as evidence that I have terrorist tendencies.

So, I figured I'd remind you what nine looks like.

Brittany, you see one you like?

I want the one with the white spot.

Oh. I love that one, too.

And you know what they say, that these don't shed.

Yeah. Thankfully, they breed these dogs

with no genetic variation at all.

Dad, what does that mean?

It means that these dogs were born in

what is called a puppy mill,

and I bet they all come from the same mom.

And I bet she spent her entire life in a cage

just like this, probably smaller than this one.

Wait. They won't let her go outside?

It doesn't serve their purpose.

Her whole reason for being is to have puppies.

Dozens and dozens of puppies.

And when she can't have any more puppies,

they'll put her to sleep.

- Ron-- -They'll kill her.

And they'll probably do the same thing

to these little guys

if no one buys them before they grow up.

Ron, let's...

I am not going to lie to the girls about

what this industry does, or why I maintain

that we should be doing this in a shelter.

I'll wait outside.

Okay. Is this still the one you want?

But then all the others will die.

No, honey. They won't.

You know your father exaggerates.

Come on. Let's go find all the things we need.

Let's look at the leashes. They have purple...

Hey!

Ree, maybe you should try apologizing.

I mean, your life is pretty good.

Well those puppies don't even get to have birthdays, so...

You don't need to apologize, Reality.

That was a pure political act.

That was Reality's version of a nonviolent protest.

And I bet given the chance, she would do it again.

Right, Reality?

You don't have to answer that.

And I would support her.

You know why? She learned a very important lesson.

We all need a hill to die on.

I think the saying is "I won't die on that hill,"

because it's not worth it.

Yeah but if we're not willing to die on any hills,

then what are we doing? Just taking up space?

Consuming?

If we're just willing to sit back

and let these injustices happen--

Sit back?

I work all day, every day, fighting for people.

What do you think being a social worker is?

Okay, girls.

This is your mom's way of letting us all know

she's the one with the job.

Oh, Ron.

She's a very important person.

Britt, are you ready for cake?

Did you think about what you want to wish for?

A dog.

Ron? The girls need breakfast.

Just give me a minute. I'm working.

I thought of an idea for a new book.

I need to write it down. Okay? I just need a few minutes.

Oh, okay, but can you just

get them ready for school first?

Yeah. I need a pen. Where are my pens?

I've got a pen right here. Right here. Right here.

I need my pen.

There's my pen in the cutlery drawer for some reason.

Please, Ron. I need to get to a trial.

I have a pen! Oh, I see.

Somebody else's kids need saving.

I see. Okay. Yeah.

Our kids don't need saving, Ron.

They need Toaster Strudels and showers!

Just give me 10 minutes, please.

10 minutes?

Are you kidding?

They'll be off to school in 10 minutes?

Did you hear any explosion from your position?

Oh, yes. Yes, we did, as a matter of fact.

Mom? Mom, come here.

Dad, get in here!

-What? - Dear God.

Oh, my gosh. Another plane has just hit--

What is going on?

Oh, my God.

Yes, yes. Right in the middle of the building.

And right now, that-- Yes.

That definitely looked like it was on purpose.

It doesn't make sense, Dad.

Why didn't they just talk to us first?

Well, they probably think we wouldn't listen.

And to be fair, most Americans wouldn't.

I would.

But you don't speak their language.

What language do they speak?

Well, it depends on what region

and what ethnic group.

I mean, it could be in Arabic,

Pashto, Dari, Farsi.

I can learn.

There it is.

That's the evidence I told you about.

To some folks,

trying to understand both sides of a conflict

is un-American.

Square your body.

Trust me, y'all.

I'm as American as it gets.

Nice. Aim up a little higher.

Whoa...

The armed forces put a gun in my hand

a month after I signed up, September 12, 2001.

How'd 9/11 make y'all feel?

Boo!

A year later I was in Iraq,

going after the bad guys.

Now, how do you think that felt?

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

Dude, shut up.

No, no. It's cool.

These are complicated issues.

It's easy to get confused about

what's right, what's wrong.

None of the hijackers were Iraqi.

Did y'all know that?

Look, miss. I'm not here to get into the details.

I'm sorry. "Details"?

Blaming the wrong country

and bombing the shit out of them

just so your president can settle a score

for his dad is a detail?

The truth is, whoever the bad guys are,

okay, once you've spent some time with them,

learned their ways--

Hey.

You want a ride?

I like to walk.

What about a bite to eat? Can I buy you a burger?

I don't eat meat.

You want to buy me a cucumber?

Shit.

I meant a salad.

I learned just enough to get by in Kabul.

What about you?

Why does a... a blonde girl from Texas

know how to speak Pashto?

I want to help people displaced by war.

You know what stops wars?

The greatest humanitarian organization

in the United States. The US Air Force.

We're trying to save people.

-No. For real.

Why don't you think of us as another version of

the Kingsville Senior Center,

Autism Speaks, and the animal rescue?

How do you know where I volunteer, creep?

I do my research, Reality Winner.

So, what's your plan for next year?

A&M Kingsville.

Well, so, you're sticking around.

You find this town stimulating and exciting.

It's not gonna be enough for you.

-You don't know me. -See, I think I do.

Do you know how I got this scar?

No, and I'm sure you're going to tell me.

Killing a warlord

who tried to slit the throat of a 7-year-old.

And I'm sure that line will get you laid

for the rest of your life.

Sorry, dude.

I'm going to A&M.

Hello?

Reality Winner?

-Yeah. -My name is Ann McCoy.

I'm calling on behalf of the US Air Force.

-Oh, Jesus Christ. -Oh, no.

I see someone in our ranks

has managed to alienate you already.

Let me guess.

Some overgrown frat boy showed you his biceps

and his gas-guzzling car

and expected you to be impressed?

-Pretty much. - Yeah.

Those guys aren't really great at reading the room.

I'm sorry. Can I help you?

I just wanted to give you a ring

and let you know that I'm aware of you,

and I'm really impressed.

Can I tell you about something

that happened in Afghanistan last week?

Okay.

Our troops went into a small village

to try to bring water to the people.

But our manpower has been stretched

really thin out there, as I'm sure you've heard.

So, we didn't have anyone in our group

who could communicate with the locals.

Some idiot marine translates something wrong

and ends up offending the elders,

and they kick all of the Americans

out of the village before they can help.

Now if that guy knew even

a kindergarten level of Pashto,

that village would have water right now.

Listen. We need translators.

Desperately.

The resource we need the most is language.

Brains like yours.

That's how we're going to save people.

You still there?

Wrong country, assholes!

Mom, Dad? I have to talk to you.

Hey.

Who are you?

This is Taylor.

The boy I've been telling you about.

Oh, yeah. You guys just met, right?

No. Not just. We've been dating a while.

Oh, okay. Sorry.

That's actually why I came home.

There's something that I wanted to tell everybody.

-She said yes.

Are you pregnant?

No!

God, no.

Duh. We're not even--

We're not even, like...

I'm sorry. I'm confused.

Really? Okay.

We're not.

So, you're getting married so you can finally bone?

No, no! That's not--

What?

I say just bone now and ask forgiveness later.

-Shut up. -You don't want to enter

a binding contract and run the risk that the sex

-isn't even that good... -It's gonna be good.

...and joke's on you, till death.

No offense, dude.

Oh, my...

She's exactly like you described her.

Can you just not tell Mom and Dad?

I want to tell them at dinner.

Sure.

I think she was happy for me.

Yeah. Yeah.

Taylor, Brittany says

you played football in high school.

I did. Yeah.

Hey, are you a sports fan, Mr. Winner?

Why are you only asking him?

We could be sports fans.

Sorry. Right.

Are you ladies sports fans?

Nope.

It's not my area of interest, no.

I am a sports fan inasmuch

as I support activities that channel tribal instincts

into anything other than state violence.

Aren't those once a day?

Ah.

The bottle says "as needed."

I just happen to always need them.

He was in a car accident.

It's not, like, recreational.

Oh, no. I-- I didn't think that.

Mm-hmm.

Sorry to hear about your accident, sir.

"Sir."

Huh.

So, Britty, how is your job at the lab?

Oh. It's good.

It's part-time, so I still have time to study.

And I really can't drop below an A-minus,

if I want to get that internship

with the microbiologist that Taylor already has.

That he got freshman year.

There's actually only one problem,

it's that he might think that

she's too cute to be a scientist.

I mean, maybe he just likes hot interns, right?

He chose me.

Oh, my God.

So, I joined the Air Force.

Boot camp starts the day after I graduate.

Really?

You're going to say that right now?

She's joking. It's a joke, right?

The military has no humanities.

You realize that, right?

No literature. No-- No philosophy.

I can read all that stuff on my own.

I don't think you understand the full context

of what you're doing.

The full context is I'm not spending

another four years in a hick town

full of racists who don't care about humanity,

and I already signed the contract.

Basic training, language school, Afghanistan.

It's done.

Speaking of contracts...

...we're getting married.

Oh!

I know.

Great.

Basic training is self-explanatory.

Who needs to watch a bunch of young people

being hazed into submission through rope-climbing,

burpees and general machismo?

If you do, though, I recommend G.I. Jane.

Great movie.

And then I was off to Afghanistan like they said.

Yeah. I wish.

They said I had to start here first,

doing surveillance on the Taliban.

I, Reality Winner, acknowledge

that the unauthorized disclosure

of classified information

could cause irreparable injury to the United States.

I subscribe to this oath without mental reservation,

without hesitation--

Wait. Excuse me?

Yeah?

Can you define "mental reservation"?

You need a dictionary?

Well, what about a situation

where the armed forces still exist,

but we're being occupied by a foreign power?

Like if Nazis or whatever take over.

Exactly. You know, do I follow this

if "Nazis or whatever" are in charge?

Let's cross that bridge when we come to it.

Technically, the point of an oath--

Your job is to listen for

any languages you got in Monterey.

Farsi, Dari, Pashto.

-Pashto and Dari? - Hey. Khe chare.

As-salaamu' alaykum.

The first syllable

actually carries more of the emphasis.

You're listening for anyone heading into Mingora.

I want you to flag anything

that sounds even slightly suspicious.

All right, Thompson, Winner,

you two ladies can share this station here.

It just opened up.

Just lost two of my best men.

You mean they're...

...dead?

No. I mean they sold out.

They're private contractors now for the NSA.

That's where you go after this

if you want to make a shit-ton of money.

Don't worry.

They'll come for you all one day.

All right. One last thing.

There will be absolutely no playing of Angry Birds

tolerated in this office.

Oh. Is it too late to quit?

Okay, Mom.

I doubt we're gonna be best friends. Relax.

I think it's exciting. You met a girl your own age

who shares your same interests.

That never happened to you here.

I don't know if we have so many of the same interests.

I mean, she just learned these languages

'cause she went on these missions with her family.

That's the other thing.

I think she's, like, pretty religious.

You grew up going to church every Sunday.

Yeah, but she's, like, really Jesus-y.

Well, what if she's on the phone with her mother

right now saying the same thing about you?

Ree?

What do you want?

Good morning, sir. I think your dog may be cold.

My dog is fine.

What are you feeding him?

Whoa, you really got a problem minding your own business.

I'm just trying to make sure that everything's okay.

It's snowing.

Lady, get off my property. I have a gun.

I have multiple guns, dickbag!

Hey, um...

I can't make out this word.

This is a thick southern accent.

You know you can slow it down here.

Translate this part.

Oh, gosh.

Keep going.

I can't. I can't translate this.

You have to. It's your job.

Ugh. I play the flute.

-Yeah, you do.

Winner, you wanted to see me.

Uh, yes, sir.

I wanted to inquire about the recycling bins.

I've noticed they're really small.

There's this program called Flip It,

where you get a large recycling bin,

and a small garbage can to incentivize

-sustainable waste practic-- -I don't care.

Cool.

What's all this?

The translations you assigned me.

You did all this today?

From Pashto?

Yeah. I've learned a lot about

the local music scene over there.

When they call you in for the graveyard shift,

the only way to get out of it is if you tell them

your mental capacity is compromised.

That's Air Force speak for you're drunk.

So, the people stuck with the graveyard shift?

Nerds and Mormons.

Some people like the quiet.

They can hear themselves think.

Other people don't like to hear themselves think.

That walk from the kitchen was 32 steps by the way.

It's usually 33.

I try not to let it bother me.

Hey, um, what are you doing tomorrow?

I'm going to, like, this picnic thing,

kind of a mixer for singles.

-Really cute guys. -Oh, uh--

I know what you're thinking

but just because it's alcohol-free

doesn't mean we don't have a good time.

Oh, I don't care about that. I don't drink either.

I just don't need to meet any guys.

I'm on a path here. I don't need to get derailed.

I, on the other hand,

could use a good, hard derailing.

Nice.

Oh, gosh. Um...

I think this guy just said something about a package.

-Shit, is this live? -Yeah.

-Tell Snyder. -Can you do it?

-Yeah.

Jsoc, I have a translation to relay.

Enemy spotted.

Secure the target.

I got him locked on.

Fire at will.

-Woo! -Yeah!

Confirmed, four EKIAs, no squirters.

- Woo! - Obliterated, bro!

No, wait, wait. Someone's running.

Keep shooting.

Squirter down, we got five EKIAs.

Adios!

Hey. Do my eyes look okay?

Did I overdo it?

I'm really bad with liquid liner.

I just don't want to look like I just worked a night shift.

Where are you going?

Picnic, remember?

You're still going to that?

Yeah. Why?

I don't know,

'cause we just watched a bunch of people die?

No, I know, but that's a part of the job, right?

Jesus.

That sounded bad.

I just meant that you can't take your work home with you,

or you'll go crazy.

You know, it's all about a work-life balance.

If I get to 25, those were bad people.

If I burn 900 calories, they didn't have families.

Asshole.

Please, can you just put me to work today?

If I clean 200 bedpans, I'm still a good person.

I'll have a Long Island iced tea.

Really?

Is this a bar or not?

Oh, you're being serious.

Okay.

Hey, you know, how about, um...

How about a beer instead?

Sure.

I actually know you.

You don't-- You don't recognize me?

I look different right now 'cause I'm wearing this,

but you don't-- you don't recognize this?

You know me from a rodeo?

No.

You know me from that time you were trying

to massage someone who was running away?

No, I'm obviously rolling a tire up a hill

with my monster biceps and my ridiculous abs.

Power Shred.

Ah, I tend to focus on my workout.

Yeah, I try, but there's this girl in my class

who lifts twice what I lift

and that can be distracting sometimes.

Hm. What do you do?

Uh...

That's a joke. I mean, we're a mile from Fort Meade.

I know exactly what you do.

What do I do?

Listen to people.

Hey, it's all good. I mean, I eavesdrop on people

all day long and not to save the homeland,

so thank you for your service.

There was this pilot from Jordan, like, our age.

Mm-hm.

And his plane crashed into ISIS territory.

They locked him in a cage,

soaked him in gasoline,

lit him on fire, and filmed the whole thing.

You could see the flesh fall off his face.

And there are tons of videos like that.

But no one can watch them. It's messed up.

Wait, are you looking it up?

'Cause it's not online. That's my point. It should be.

Everyone should have access to the truth.

Look, I found it.

See, this is the type of shit that I watch.

Cats on vacuums. Interspecies friendships.

I think you should do a little bit more of this.

Clear your mind.

Believe me, I try.

Try harder.

So, what about you?

What brings you here?

What do you mean "here?"

This is four-year-old Andre's dream.

I mean, technically, I'm saving up for school,

but at a very slow rate.

Class of 2056, here I come.

College?

Uh, no.

Vet school.

Wait, do you know a lot about dogs?

I mean, I hope to learn some more about dogs--

'Cause there's this dog who lives by the gym...

-Okay. -...and his owner

just leaves him outside in the cold, underfed.

Do you think a dog like that can survive the cold here?

Not that there's anything I can do.

The owner doesn't give a shit.

I already bitched him out.

Of course you have.

I like that.

So, vet school.

What's the plan?

Have you applied for financial aid?

You want to come over to mine and, uh,

fill out a financial aid application?

I never fill out a FAFSA on the first date.

Also, I don't really date.

Wait, you're leaving? Why--

Yeah, I gotta go. Thanks for the beer.

So, it is in this context

that the United States has taken lethal,

targeted action against Al-Qaeda

and its associated forces.

Dozens of highly skilled Al-Qaeda commanders,

trainers, bomb-makers, and operatives

have been taken off the battlefield.

Simply put, these strikes have saved lives.

Winner.

Here, I'm gonna give you another assignment.

It's a father and son from Der Ismail Khan.

Wait, Sargent.

Yeah, what's up?

This is a little kid.

I hope I'm wrong.

If I get to 60, that kid'll be fine.

60 in two minutes, you?

It's not a competition.

It was literally a push-up race.

I think you should go out with me.

Can't. I'm taking the next class.

Well, you know the rules.

It's no consecutive classes. You gotta recover.

God, I hate that rule.

Do you have a change of clothes?

Wherever you're taking me,

I'm not changing my frickin' clothes.

Okay. So, that means you're going?

You could have told me we were going, like, downtown.

I'm in athletic wear, bro.

Well, I thought you said that wherever we were going

you weren't frickin' changing clothes.

Hey, what's up?

-Nothing!

You just-- You gotta turn off your brain.

Don't tell a woman to turn off her brain.

I'm just saying that there are other parts of your body.

Sorry.

What?

You don't date.

My bad. I forgot.

Have you volunteered at an animal shelter?

'Cause vet schools want that.

No, but I-- I do watch a lot of, like, vet TV shows.

I watch this one called Dr. Chris Pet Vet.

You know, it's this guy that's a vet in Australia.

-Uh-huh. -You've seen it?

Yeah, yeah, I've seen it.

-You watch it? -Mm-hm.

People walk in with, like, animals that can

kill you in a second, and they're like,

"Mate, do you know anything about marsupials?

My pet wombat's been bit by a flying snail."

Yeah. "Ahoy, mate. Can you get this poison dart shooting

shrimp outta me garret?"

You sound like a pirate. Ahoy, mate!

I can't eat any more of this.

I could toss it on the way home.

Turn off the car.

There's a-- There's a reason I told you to park here.

Hey, boy.

Hey, buddy.

Hey, what's this?

You're a good boy. Wow. You're skinny.

Here you go.

He could freeze, right?

Like, dude, I'm so cold.

Yeah, it's pretty cold.

-Go!

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

-Hey! -Go! Drive!

Who the hell are you?

How'd you sleep?

Oh, thank you. Pretty good. How about you?

Yeah, good.

Yeah?

Oh, this is good. Thank you.

You know what I like about you?

What?

You haven't asked me where I got my weird name.

Wait. No, no.

What do you mean, "no?"

Reality's actually your real name?

Yeah. What'd you think it was?

I don't know, I thought it was like some gym nickname,

like, uh, the massive Dominican dude that

calls himself Peaches in Power Shred.

Nope.

Oh, well, you know,

now I have to absolutely find out

how you got your name.

It's Farsi.

Do you know any other languages?

Just Latin.

Really?

No. Are you familiar with the public school system

around here?

I always wanted to learn Latin.

Why? So you could go back and volunteer

in the ancient Roman Empire?

Ew.

-No, no, no!

You know, just so you know,

I'm not, like, a normal girl.

-Mm-hm. -I just mean,

I'm not one of those girls who's gonna, like,

try to trap you into having kids with me.

All right.

And I'm not one of those girls who sits around

dreaming about my wedding or whatever.

I actually think weddings are a nightmare.

You done?

Um...

I'm sure there's more.

Tell me later.

...hold on a sec.

Hey, Ree.

Taylor, it's all happening.

Yeah, it is.

Um, listen, can you do me a favor?

Can you just

not find something to be mad about today?

I wasn't planning to.

Okay, great.

It's just, no offense,

but, you know, sometimes you can be a bit...

It's Brittany's day. It's Brittany's day, right?

Yeah, it is.

Okay.

I won't say anything.

Great.

Not even anything about the history of this venue.

What-- What history?

Oh, well, this used to be a plantation house, so...

Don't worry about it. All good.

You look so beautiful, honey.

-Does it look like a helmet?

-Hey, Brick Brick. - Hi, hon.

Did you find Dad?

Hey, come here. I want to talk to you.

Mom, I want to talk to Ree.

Oh, let's go to the terrace, girls.

You okay?

Um...

I know, um, that you... that you and Taylor haven't

really gotten to get to know each other,

and I know that you guys are really different people,

but I really--

Britty.

If you're happy, I'm happy.

I'll take it.

You look gorgeous.

Whoops.

Absolutely stunning.

You missed the rehearsal.

"Punctuality is the virtue of the bored."

Evelyn Waugh.

Mm, well, where's your tux?

It's at the dry cleaner. I'll get it in a bit.

You were supposed to be here dressed

for the ceremony at 11:00.

Ron, where have you been?

He's stoned.

-No, he's not stoned. -At my wedding.

It's medication. Dad, are you okay?

Are you really taking his side right now?

I'm not taking his side.

Of course you're taking his side.

You always take his side.

He broke his back.

-Like, ten years ago! -Girls.

-Dude. -Let me handle this.

Let me handle this. Ron. Come on.

You go sober up somewhere else!

You're not walking me down the aisle!

-Britty! -Relax!

Finish getting ready. I'm--

Well, so much for unconditional love.

Unconditional love goes the other direction, Ron,

from parent to child.

Okay, darling, whatever the hell that means,

but I understand your condescension.

So, thank you.

Reality, park it.

Mom, don't tell me what to do.

On your sister's wedding day, I most certainly will.

Thought I might find you here.

Just catching up on some reading.

The Yankee Plague.

Now that is a classic.

When you publish your book,

we'll sneak in here and replace it.

Yeah.

I don't know, you think these people could handle a treatise

on the destruction of Mayan culture drawing on

insight from Aristotle, Merleau-Ponty and Foucault?

Yeah, no, probably not.

I doubt they even know what Mayans are.

Are you okay?

Um...

Ree...

Your mom and I are separating.

What?

Your sister and your mom, they're a lot alike,

and your mom likes things a certain way--

So, it's her decision.

She's--

Dad.

Dad, it's okay.

She says that she thinks that, uh,

I'm like another child that she has to take care of,

and... she's got a point maybe.

No.

Dad, this is not your fault.

Like, you were the one that was home with us all the time

while she was working.

God, what does she want?

Well, if I knew that,

I wouldn't be moving out of the house.

- Ree?

Can we please talk before you go?

I really wish that your father had waited

so that we could tell you together.

He promised me he would do that.

Yeah, well, you promised him

you'd stand by him forever, so...

I understand you're angry.

That's-- That is healthy.

That's a healthy response.

Don't analyze me right now.

You really have no idea what I'm thinking, like, ever.

Well, why don't you tell me?

Please, I'd love to know.

It's just funny to me.

What's funny?

I mean, you say your whole passion in life

is fighting for people who can't fight for themselves,

yet you're not fighting for your husband

who has a literal disability.

It's just funny to me, that's all. Anyway...

I don't think that's fair.

Yeah, well, how do you think he feels?

I'd love to share with you how I feel.

And then I finally got to go to Afghanistan.

Yeah, no.

They said they still needed me here.

The next two years were all drone strike in Bamiyan,

drone strike in Kandahar, bench 130,

Kaylee's engagement party,

drone strike in Mazar-e-Sharif,

ran a Spartan race, got a cappuccino maker,

killed a family of five, $500 to the Red Cross,

drone strike, saw Inside Out, road trip with Andre,

250 bed pans, killed three ISIS dudes,

$500 to the White Helmets, bench 140,

dude moved into my place, 1300 calories in spin class,

Kaylee's wedding, 10 dead in Jalalabad,

Labor Day sale at Target, Power Shred MVP,

brought dude home for Christmas,

made vegan chili, Kaylee's baby shower,

killed someone's grandfather, saw Pitch Perfect 2,

better than Pitch Perfect 1,

wonder if they'll make it a trilogy.

Coming up on the lead,

another drone strike kills...

What if I actually get into one of these schools?

I mean, I'm not going to be able to afford it

for a couple years.

Whatever, just make them want you now.

Then you have leverage.

Oh, you're tough.

Yeah.

This is CNN, breaking news.

Breaking news this evening is the identity of the man

who sent the Obama administration into defend

and explain mode this week.

His name is Edward Snowden.

Today he came out as the leaker of classified

NSA documents that spell out a secret

surveillance program.

Snowden gave an on-camera interview

to the Guardian newspaper

and we're playing it for you in its entirety.

You know that guy?

No, he's a contractor.

What does that mean?

It's what like, sellouts do after they work

in intelligence to cash in.

...but I'm not.

I'm no different from anybody else.

I don't have special skills.

Uh, I'm just another guy who sits there day to day

in the office, watches what's happening,

and goes, "This is something

that's not our place to decide."

The public needs to decide whether these programs

and policies are right or wrong.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Jsoc, I have a translation to relay.

It's messing with your head.

You're saving people's lives, too.

You know, protecting people who can't protect themselves.

Just remember that.

Hypothetical people.

What do you mean "hypothetical people?"

I mean, I never meet the people I'm protecting.

Yeah, but you never meet any of these people.

Yeah, but I see the people who die.

I know their families.

I know how their arms and legs detach from their body.

I know if they turn toward Mecca at the end,

their last living thoughts are about their God.

I know more about them than any of the people I'm saving.

Hey, I think the person you need to worry

about saving right now the most is yourself.

I'm fine.

Honestly, I just had a moment.

I was getting really good at having thicker skin.

No, it's not you.

All right, that's not you.

You're almost done there with your four years, right?

And then you're free. Hm?

Well, maybe you should go someplace where

you can just be you, whatever that means.

Mm?

What're you doing?

What am I always doing?

Checking the election coverage.

Babe, I should probably get to the airport.

-I'm running a little late. -Okay.

I'm-- I'm nervous.

I realized I've never done a formal interview.

I bet it won't be that formal. It's vet school.

Everyone's going to be, like, covered in cow shit.

University of Oklahoma, I mean, can you imagine?

Yeah, I know the countryside

isn't your ideal place to live,

but we could do it for a couple years.

I think it'll set us up for the future pretty nicely.

All right.

You got this.

I hope so.

Winner.

I'm giving you a medal.

-Why? -Look at your numbers.

You've geolocated 120 enemy combatants,

you've helped us eliminate over 600 enemies in action.

You're killing it for us.

I'll have it engraved for you.

Dude, what?!

Congratulations, Airman Winner.

Thank you. I quit.

When were you gonna tell me?

I wanted to see if it was a thing first.

If it was a thing--

I've told you about every application I was filling out.

Every single one!

Yeah, because I was helping you.

No, it's not 'cause you were helping me!

It's like-- I wanted to share with you

what the possible versions of our lives could be like!

Well, I never asked you to do that!

No, no. You didn't. I did it,

because in a relationship that's what you do!

I literally told you the first night we were together

that I'm not a relationship person.

Then what is this?! What are we doing here?

We live together, we have a dog together!

Did you ever even love me?

-No, I'm serious.

Did you ever even love me?

-Yes! -It doesn't seem like that!

-Well, I do! -You're literally discard--

That doesn't mean I'm gonna change the goals

I've had my whole life.

No, it clearly doesn't mean anything.

I just thought that maybe, maybe that you would consider

me in one of these life paths that you're

imagining without me.

We're not married!

It's not about marriage!

Why don't we just call it what it is?

Why don't we just...

You will never, ever change your life for another person.

And it was my mistake to make the assumption that

maybe we could build something together.

I'm sorry that you got the wrong impression.

Yeah, I got the wrong impression.

I thought you were a bleeding-heart person that

wants to take care of people.

-I am. -Yeah,

to people that don't know you,

but to people that care about you?

You don't give a shit about us.

That's the truth, right?

I'm going to spend the night at Drew's

and then I'll move my shit out this weekend.

Hello, Ms. Winner.

That's Pashto.

Oh. I'm very impressed.

Did you learn that in the Army?

Air Force.

Well, you have a fascinating resume.

The volunteer section goes on for pages.

Well, it's recycled paper, so I thought I'd be thorough.

Mm. Well, there's just one thing I need to clear up,

just to check that box before I send your paperwork through.

There's just a small mistake on the application.

Oh, sorry about that. What is it?

Well, in the space for college degree you wrote "Air Force."

So, I'll just have to correct that

and put your undergraduate information here.

Well, actually I went straight to basic training

out of high school.

Oh. Um...

Ms. Winner, you are aware that this job requires

a four-year degree?

Yeah, I did see that, but I figured since I spent

those years in the Air Force learning languages

they don't even teach at Texas A&M...

Sure, but the military isn't college.

You're really telling me I need a degree

to hand out blankets?

Well, we do much more than hand out blankets, of course.

We think through problems.

Just like we do in the military.

Life or death problems.

I'm just saying we have a protocol.

They told me I could do my time in the military

and then work in a refugee camp.

Who told you?

The recruiter.

Which recruiter? Someone from here?

No, the Air Force.

I understand you're disappointed,

and, please, take all the time you need.

The United States actually makes it

pretty hard to help people.

They reward you a lot more for hurting them.

Like, this office belongs to a CEO

of a pharmaceutical company that flooded the market

with pain killers.

He makes $26 million a year.

The doctor who prescribes those pills?

$370,000.

The EMT who resuscitates the people

who OD on those pills? $24,000.

And the people who take them...

What are you doing? What are you doing here?

We just talked on the phone. You told me to come home.

Dad?

Yeah, can--

Can you come back tomorrow please?

I need to get back to sleep.

Jesus.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Mom's taking me shopping.

I gotta get clothes for my new job.

Aren't you supposed to be in Pakistan?

I just don't want to talk about it, okay?

Reality?

I thought you were on your way to Pakistan.

Well, now I'm not, okay?

They don't want me.

And now I have no job, and Andre and I broke up,

and Dad said to come stay with him,

but when I got there he couldn't even stand up,

and I know y'all are going to say "I told you so"

and I'm an idiot to expect anything from him,

but you know what? I just don't wanna hear it, okay?

-Ree. -What?!

Ree.

Sorry about last night.

I didn't really... get the timing right on my meds.

It's fine, Dad.

No, I'm sorry for you.

I had a whole speech worked up

about faith-based charities and all their hypocrisies.

You would have loved it.

I can give it a little spin right now, if you like.

Sure.

Okay, so-- oh, oh, oh, hold one... second.

Are you okay?

Yeah, this happens from time to time. Oh, boy...

No, I know.

Your back.

Oh, this one's probably my heart.

An affliction I get from my dad, among other things.

Ooh... It'll calm down.

Did you see a cardiologist?

Not yet.

Well, when?

Um...

Do you not have insurance?

One of many reasons

why we should all be living in Iceland.

Do you know they had a national day of mourning

when the police accidentally killed one person?

That's how much they value human life.

Well, I value your life,

so I don't want you to just not address this, okay?

I'm addressing it. I am.

It's actually motivated me to finish my book.

I have a deadline.

Wait. What?

You found a publisher?

No, what I mean is that I probably just have a year left

before I have a major cardiac arrest.

Dad...

That's gallows humor, darling.

I might be able to help you out.

I don't know about these clothes, guys.

They don't really feel like me.

Good.

I think they're very flattering.

You're going to work for the government.

You need to look like Hillary Clinton.

But not when she was like, "Hi, I'm fine."

You need to be Hillary Clinton

at an anti-sex trafficking conference.

Guarantee no one's ever been sex trafficked

wearing Talbots.

That's what it says on the website.

Mom, you know,

you should get some clothes too, for your date.

Oh.

Wait. What?

-Uh-huh. -With who?

Gary.

-Who? -Gary.

-From work. -Yeah.

Oh, the guy you used to work with?

The guy with the little ties?

You know? He loves mom. He loves you.

Hey, yo! You look like you're applying for college.

Just come fly with us first. Here.

You can move away, go overseas.

You guys like Italian girls? Huh? Huh?

Huh? Huh?

He does.

I see you, man. I see you.

Hey! Hey, get away from them!

Stop lying!

Whatever they're telling you, it's bullshit!

These pamphlets are full of lies!

Hey! Hey!

Your job is to help us monitor

what's going on with Iranian aerospace.

So, stay focused on that.

Everything else is need to know.

-Everything? -Everything.

What if I need to know who got eliminated

on the Bachelorette?

Not on office computers.

Of course.

But you can come ask me. I keep up.

David, how many votes did the Russians change on--

Are we allowed to... change the channel?

Zero!

No.

You don't know that, Jesse!

We don't know that?!

Obama intelligence officials said that

in open testimony.

I'll give you the last word.

Let me just say real fast,

if the Russian tried to influence our elections--

What do you mean "if"?

There's no evidence.

They try to influence

and destabilize America every day of the calendar year.

You know whose fault that is?

That is President Obama's fault...

You can put your phone in here.

Put your hand flat on the desk, please.

Okay, we can get started.

Hey, sexy.

I'm armed.

...Russia. And somebody who, as you say,

worked in the Obama Administration,

and he is saying - listen closely -

there's no evidence.

He is, to be clear, leaving the door open.

We may find evidence of a problem,

but as an Obama partisan and an expert on Russia,

he is saying very clearly, people calm down,

there may be some smoke here,

but there's no suggestion yet -

yet - that there's fire.

So, that is a very important thing--

So, you hear that statement...

I have approvals in the high 40s,

but every network you see hits me on every topic,

made up stories, like Russia.

They do the Russia, the faux Russia.

I call it the fake Russia story.

-Russia story was made up

because they were embarrassed by their loss.

You see all of these other phony stories.

It's so bad,

and for me to have great approval records,

in light of all the faux press and the fake press,

I think, is amazing.

There is a tremendous amount

of hysterics, a lot of theories,

a lot of premature conclusions

being drawn around all of this Russia stuff,

and there's not a lot of hard evidence to back it up.

The problem is that Democrats are so insane

with the conspiracy theories

that they embrace with no evidence.

Welcome back to Face the Nation,

and the final part of our interview yesterday

with President Trump.

You said yesterday on Fox that Russia is a phony story.

Which part of it is phony?

The concept of Russia with respect to us.

You don't think it's phony that they, the Russians,

tried to meddle in the election?

-You believe that. -That I don't know.

That you don't know, or you do know?

Well, I have a problem.

We have to find out what happened.

Knowing something about hacking,

if you don't catch a hacker, okay, in the act,

it's very hard to say who did the hacking.

It could've been China,

could've been a lot of different groups.

So, President Donald Trump is ambivalent about it.

Or not ambivalent; just not sure.

I mean, you'd at least wanna look, right?

Be honest.

I'll tell you one thing,

had nothing to do with us, had nothing to do with this,

and everyone knows it.

And by the way, even my enemies,

on your show, said we haven't found anything

that the Trump campaign did wrong.

Do you agree with that?

But there is agreement...

So, the government

100% knew the Russians hacked our voting systems

days before the election.

Yet, they're telling everyone they have no proof.

As of today, there is no evidence that

the Russian government tampered with voting machines

or hacked any votes in November.

The proof is on my computer.

It's on all these people's computers.

And everyone around here is just going along with that.

What the fuck?

...conspiracy mongering...

I took an oath that said I have to protect

and defend the Constitution and obey the orders

of the President of the United States.

But what if the information is about the President

and how he got elected?

A foreign country is trying to mess with our voting.

That's a fact.

Don't the people have a right to know that?

No matter who they voted for?

If I can't make it to 20 miles without stopping,

I have to leak that document tomorrow.

Call from Brittany.

Call from Brittany.

Bro, chill!

Dr. Donaldson, please dial 327.

Dr. Donaldson, please dial 327.

Dad.

Hey.

Hey, uh, it is way too cold for him in here.

Where's the thermostat?

Hello?

-Ree. -Bitch.

Ree, calm down. What's going on?

There's a chair right there. Have a seat.

Hey.

Hi.

You okay?

Yeah.

I gotta tell you about the last meal I had.

Can I tell you about it?

Yeah.

So, I slipped an employee a 20

to go get me a frozen burrito.

Goes and gets it for me, heats it up for me.

And I'm eating this burrito and I think to myself,

"Why does this steak taste like plastic?"

I look at the wrapper and it says, "vegan".

-It's a vegan burrito.

How do you eat that shit?

How do you support the meat industry?

I support the food chain.

It exists in the wild.

It's the artificial power structures that we all build

to control each other that I have issues with.

Yeah, me too.

Yet here I am, working for the man.

Yeah, but you're still you,

and you can still do some damage.

You've always...

known what your hills are.

Hey, why don't you climb in with me?

Ree?

Yeah?

I'm scared.

Hello.

Reality.

What's up?

Did you complain to senior management

about the televisions?

Sorry. It won't happen again.

Good.

Printer's jammed.

Oh, it's cool, I got it.

You sure? I can...

Yeah. No, no, no. Thank you. Thank you.

It's good.

Shit.

Thank you.

Arms up.

I'd, uh, like to request a female guard,

if you're doing a pat down.

Sorry. She's finished her shift.

Huh.

Um, legally, I'm entitled to a female guard.

Um...

Technically, this is a violation of my rights

and constitutes discrimination and harassment

under federal guidelines.

Calm down. Just go ahead.

Thank you.

Reality Winner?

Is that your real name?

Yep.

-Hi. Can I help you? -I'm Agent Justin Garrick.

This is Agent Taylor.

We'd like to talk to you for a bit.

Yeah, sure.

Come here, boy. It's okay. Don't be scared.

Get the dog.

- Yeah. -Let's go.

-Gonna check the back? -Copy.

Do you have any weapons?

Yeah, an AR-15 in the kitchen, Glock 9 under the bed.

Sounds like my house.

And a 15-gauge in the entryway.

Do you have a table and chairs we can bring in here?

Sorry, I'm not-- I'm not big on furniture.

Okay, then, we'll, um, sit on the floor.

This is a copy of the search warrant.

"120 pounds". You guys flatter me.

That's what was on your license.

Well, I lied about that.

Is that what this is about?

We received a report

that you mishandled some classified information.

Does that ring any bells whatsoever?

No, I... Nothing, no.

Reality, we don't think you're some kind

of master spy or anything.

We think that you made a mistake.

And we're giving you a podium

to come clean.

Okay.

Can you think of anything at all?

Hmm...

Um...

There is one thing.

Great. That's great.

You want to tell us about that?

Um... there was this article about miniature ponies.

I did not have a need to know, but I love ponies,

so I printed it out.

Reality, we obviously know a lot more

than we're telling you at this point,

and I think you know a lot more than you're telling us.

So, I think you need to stop and you need to think about

what you're doing and what you're saying.

Come on, guys, pick up the pace here. Let's go.

Bathroom is clear.

There was one I printed out

just because I wanted to read it.

And what was it about?

It was about Russia hacking...

...stuff that people say isn't happening.

Then what?

Burn bagged it.

I'm not trying to be Snowden.

You didn't take it out of the building?

No.

Why don't you guess how many people printed that document?

Thousands, probably.

Four people.

It got outside.

It made its way to a publication,

one that you've read at work,

according to your computer history.

Wow. Crazy.

25-year-old

Reality Leigh Winner

of Augusta, Georgia is charged with sending...

Oh my God.

...a classified report about Russia's interference

in the 2016 election to an online media outlet.

It's a clear violation of the law, if true,

and her life will never be the same,

as the US government and the FBI

prepare to make an example out of her for leaking.

A 25-year-old contractor with the name Reality Winner -

supposedly her real name.

Reality Winner was--

I thought that was her screen name. That's her real name.

The leaker's name - and this is true -

Reality Winner.

Reality Winner leaked information

about a reality denier,

who tried to influence the election

to support a reality host who is detached from reality.

If you've heard of me at all,

it's probably just about my name and how funny it is.

Not about what I did, not about why I did it.

Would people have talked about that stuff

if my name was John Smith?

Or just any man with any name?

Maybe not.

Maybe finding out we're being lied to

just isn't a scandal anymore,

and the only thing people want to talk about

is how stupid my name is for five seconds

before moving on to the next thing on their phones.

I just keep thinking about the little things.

Like, I was supposed to sub for a spin class.

Well, I think you'll be out of there soon.

I feel like they're just trying to be, you know,

cautious and make sure you're not, like, a terrorist.

Right.

In America,

don't discount the effect of being white and blonde.

I'm kidding.

Oh, I'm definitely playing that card.

I'm going to braid my hair, I'm going to look cute,

and I'm going to have a really small voice.

Time's up.

Brittany-- Brittany, I gotta go.

I'll see you at the hearing.

You got this.

Hey.

Well, I hate to say it,

but maybe this will be a good thing for her.

I mean, she has to learn sometime.

You can't just make up your own rules in life.

Right? Actions have consequences.

All right, this puts the fear of God into her a little,

I don't know, that's not a bad thing.

Former NSA contractor

Reality Winner will reportedly plead not guilty

at a preliminary court hearing

which will determine if she should be let out on bail

as she awaits her trial.

Ms. Solari, why don't you enlighten us

as to the nature of the indictment?

Willful retention of national security information,

Your Honor,

a crime under the Espionage Act.

Mr. Nichols, it is your position

that Ms. Winner is not a flight risk?

Correct, Your Honor.

Ms. Winner is a veteran and a credit to her community.

Ms. Winner.

Is it true

that your daughter began teaching herself

the Arabic alphabet at age nine?

Well, yes.

She's always been very self-motivated.

Why those languages, though?

That was her interest.

And were you aware that your daughter has been researching

trips to Afghanistan and Pakistan?

Well, uh, yes.

She's always wanted to travel abroad,

use her languages.

Your Honor, this line of questioning is irrelevant.

Overruled.

You know when you walk into a room

and you just feel like there's already

a whole narrative about who you are?

And nothing you do or say could possibly change that

because there's some agenda

that's much, much bigger than you?

Your Honor,

we have here a text from the defendant to her sister,

Brittany Winner, recovered from the defendant's phone.

Ever written anything you wouldn't want people

taking out of context?

Quote, "I only say

"'I hate America' three times a day."

Does this sound like your daughter?

No.

I mean...

yes, my daughter... talks that way from time to time.

So, she expresses statements like this regularly?

That she hates America?

My daughter is a veteran.

She served in the Air Force for six years,

defending democracy.

The whole reason that she was there--

Has she ever expressed to you

a desire to meet with the Taliban?

-Objection! - Overruled!

My daughter isn't a terrorist!

Anything else?

What's the dumbest thing you ever said

when you were scared shitless?

Don't discount the effect

of being white and blonde.

Oh, I'm definitely playing that card.

I'm gonna braid my hair, I'm gonna look cute,

and I'm gonna have a really small voice.

And how could I,

of all people,

not have known they'd be listening?

The Augusta woman accused of leaking classified

government information will remain in jail

until her trial.

A judge has denied bond for Reality Winner,

citing the seriousness of the charges

and ruling that Winner is a flight risk.

Where are we going?

Solitary.

Oh, my God. Gary...

What?

Stay here.

I'll handle this. Tabloids...

You don't have to talk to any of these people.

Wait.

I want to.

The mother of alleged leaker Reality Winner

tells us how she feels about her daughter's actions.

Reality is a good girl.

She's a-- she's a-- she's a good person.

She's a patriot. She served her country.

And I couldn't be more proud of her.

If I can do 500 sit-ups, I did the right thing.

If I can hold my breath for two full minutes,

what I did will make a difference.

If I can pull out this handful of hair,

I won't die in here.

Why am I in here?

You know why you're here.

I mean, why am I alone?

You're all over the news.

everyone knows who you are,

so it's a lot safer for you in here.

No, it's not.

Let's go.

Time for a field trip.

Guard? Guard!

-Whatever, I don't care.

No jumpsuit, huh? Must be leaving state.

Where are you going?

Don't know.

Trying to figure that out for weeks.

How long have you been on this plane?

This time?

What?

Two, three planes?

Two buses, a few cars...

I lost track of time.

Sit down!

Why do you keep telling me you don't know where she is?

What do you mean you don't know where she is?

She's in your custody!

Stop lying to me! I know you're lying.

Sometimes, they put prisoners on planes

and shuttle them around the country for weeks,

just to break them down.

It's like waterboarding, with altitude.

They call this "diesel therapy."

I know what you're thinking, "How is that legal?"

Good question.

Winner?

Your stop's coming up.

Oh...

What happened?

I'm taking the deal.

What?

If I go to trial, I could be in here for ten years.

Only if they find you guilty.

They will.

They're not going to let me explain why I did it.

Document's still classified.

I don't understand how they can do that.

This is the system, Mom.

The sooner we can all just accept that, the better.

I'm sorry.

I've just never seen you... not want to fight something.

I'm sorry.

No, no.

You don't have to worry about fighting anything.

You just have to worry about making it through today.

I can do the fighting for you.

What's the point?

Reality...

You believe she will be made an example of.

What do you feel about that?

Anderson, we are finding

that she has not been treated in the same way

that other people have been treated in the system.

Maria Butina was a literal Russian operative,

and she was arrested for conspiracy to commit crimes

against the U.S.

She got to go home.

She's doing a talk show now.

Paul Manafort was convicted of eight crimes,

but he was allowed to remain out of jail on bond.

Reality was not.

And then, the court agreed to let him go

to his home in the Hamptons for Christmas this year,

so that he could be with his family.

I haven't even been able to hug my daughter

since the day that she was arrested.

If you have power and connections in this country,

you're off the hook.

But if you're a young woman who comes from nothing,

even if you spent years fighting for this country,

and even if you did what you did

so that you could warn your fellow Americans

that they're being lied to,

the government will do

whatever they can to shut you up.

Why is the government so terrified

about us finding out the truth

and what must they be hiding?

Winner.

Get up.

Where are we going?

You didn't hear?

-You're going to D.C.

You're getting pardoned.

They're giving you the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

- Just kidding.

Hey, I bet you're wondering what happened

to that document I leaked.

It did come out.

It proved the Russians tried to hack our voting systems.

It didn't prove any actual votes were changed, though,

so no one really cared.

Then, they had other things to think about.

Everyone kind of forgot about it.

Except the government. They were still pissed.

They gave me five years and three months

in a federal prison, even after I pled guilty.

That's the longest sentence in U.S. history

for leaking government information to the media.

What can I say? I like to win.

It's funny.

I spent the first 18 years of my life

trying to leave this state.

Now, it feels good to be home.

That's what my dad would have called "gallows humor."

...dietary issues, fill out a request form.

Can't promise anything.

Library's on the second floor. It's closed Tuesdays.

Access to the gym and yoga room

is limited to your rec periods,

but you can go out to the yard anytime before curfew.

You gotta sign yourself out.

What's left? Oh, yes. Visitation.

You are allowed three seconds

physical contact with your guests.

Heard someone fought pretty hard to get you here.

Three seconds of physical contact!

I got you, honey. I got you.

I know.

Yeah, Mom's living it up for us.

Well, Gary is wonderful.

I think he's going to move into our house.

Well, I'm happy for you, Mom.

It gives me faith

that there's some decent guys out there.

Or maybe you got the last one.

Wait. What?

I'm going to go get some drinks.

She's just being dramatic.

What's going on?

Taylor and I, um...

we just decided to take a little time apart, that's all.

Oh, my God. What happened?

Um, just, well, we recently...

It just started to feel like

maybe our values were more different than we thought.

Britty...

did he leave because of what I did?

Actually, I left him.

I guess you were...

my hill.

Here we go.

Sometimes in here,

I think about all the different versions

of my life I could be leading right now...

...if I was just wired differently.

Lights out.

Where would I be if I didn't think so much?

If I wasn't such a pain in the ass all the time?

If I didn't have to say something

every time I saw something?

I wouldn't have to shower in cold water with strangers.

This is Amanda. She loves me.

Y'all should try to relax your neck a little bit.

I'd be able to tell people they suck at yoga.

No touching!

But her spine is literally--

Winner, come on.

The FBI wouldn't read my mail before I do.

Life would be so much easier.

So, do I regret it?

Come on, you really think I'm going to answer that?

Legally, I'm not even allowed to.

But I'll say this,

if no one ever takes a risk to try and change things,

then nothing will ever change.

And is that really any better?

You tell me.
