[siren wailing]

[female voice]
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.

[upbeat funk plays]

♪

[Reality] 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.

[puppies whining]

Brittany,
you see one you like?

I want the one
with the white spot.

[mother]
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.

-[mother] 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.

[sighing]

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...

[upbeat drumming plays]

[barking]

Hey!

[barking]

-[drumming abruptly cuts out]
-[clock ticking]

[Ron slurping]

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?

[mother]
You don't have to answer that.

[Ron]
And I would support her.

You know why? She learned
a very important lesson.

We all need a hill
to die on.

[mother]
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--

[mother]
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.

[classical piano playing]

[mother] Ron?
The girls need breakfast.

[Ron]
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.

[mother]
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.

[Ron]
I need my pen.

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

[mother] Please, Ron.
I need to get to a trial.

[Ron] I have a pen!
Oh, I see.

Somebody else's kids
need saving.

I see.
Okay. Yeah.

[mother]
Our kids don't need
saving, Ron.

They need Toaster Strudels
and showers!

[Ron]
Just give me 10 minutes,
please.

[mother]
10 minutes?

[robotic whirring
in TV cartoon]

Are you kidding?

They'll be off to
school in 10 minutes?

[news anchor]
Did you hear any explosion
from your position?

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

Mom?
Mom, come here.

Dad, get in here!

-What?
-[Ron] Dear God.

[woman on TV]
Oh, my gosh.
Another plane has just hit--

[Ron]
What is going on?

Oh, my God.

[woman]
Yes, yes. Right in
the middle of the building.

-[ominous music]
-[tense ticking]

And right now,
that-- Yes.

That definitely looked like
it was on purpose.

[ominous music fades]

[Reality]
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.

[Adult Reality]
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.

[Adult Reality]
Trust me, y'all.

I'm as American
as it gets.

Nice.
Aim up a little higher.

-[gunshot, can fluttering]
Whoa...

[gunfire, patriotic music,
indistinct radio chatter]

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.

[soldier]
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--

[light rhythmic score]

[indistinct chattering]

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.

[speaking Pashto]

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.

[light rhythmic
score continues]

[vehicle whirring]

You know what stops wars?

The greatest
humanitarian organization

in the United States.
The US Air Force.

We're trying to
save people.

-[scoffing]
-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.

[crickets chirping]

[phone ringing
and vibrating]

Hello?

[woman]
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.
-[Ann] Yeah.

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

I'm sorry.
Can I help you?

[Ann] 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.

[Ann] 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?

[speed metal playing]

[panting]

[speed metal
playing through earbuds]

Wrong country, assholes!

Mom, Dad?
I have to talk to you.

[slams door]

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.
-[giggling]

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.

[dramatic classical
music plays]

[mother]
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.

[Ron]
I am a sports fan inasmuch

as I support activities
that channel tribal instincts

into anything other than
state violence.

[Ron sipping]

Aren't those once a day?

[sighing]
Ah.

[pills rattling]

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."

[Ron]
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.

[Taylor chuckling]

That he got
freshman year.

[Taylor]
There's actually
only one problem,

it's that he might think that

she's too cute
to be a scientist.

[Taylor laughing]

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!
[exclaiming laughing]

[Brittany giggling]
I know.

[mother]
Great.

[Taylor chuckling]

[Reality]
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.

[airplane whirring]

[whirring cuts off]

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.

[Reality]
Farsi, Dari, Pashto.

-Pashto and Dari?
-[Reality] Hey. Khe chare.

As-salaamu'
alaykum.

The first syllable

actually carries more
of the emphasis.

[sergeant]
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?

[laughing]

[Reality]
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.

[Reality] 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?

[dog barking,
shaking fence]

[mother]
Ree?

[whining]

[knocking]

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.

[slamming door]

I have multiple guns,
dickbag!

[typing]

[people speaking
Pashto on recording]

Hey, um...

I can't make out
this word.

[man speaking Pashto]

This is a thick
southern accent.

You know you can
slow it down here.

[audio slowing down]

Translate this part.

[clearing throat]

[audio playing slowly]

Oh, gosh.

Keep going.

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

You have to.
It's your job.

[giggles]

[audio playing slowly]

Ugh.
I play the flute.

-Yeah, you do.
-[laughing]

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?

[Reality] 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.

[chuckling]

[clock ticking]

[Reality] 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.

[chuckling]
Nice.

[laughing]

[chuckling]

[typing]

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.
-[ticking music plays]

[conversation continues]

JSOC, I have
a translation to relay.

Enemy spotted.

[Airman on radio]
Secure the target.

I got him locked on.

[Airman]
Fire at will.

-Woo!
-Yeah!

[Pilot] Confirmed,
four EKIAs, no squirters.

-[man #1] Woo!
-[man #2] Obliterated, bro!

No, wait, wait.
Someone's running.

[Airman]
Keep shooting.

[men cheering]

[Pilot] Squirter down,
we got five EKIAs.

[men cheering]

[man]
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.

[propulsive music]

[Reality] If I get to 25,
those were bad people.

♪

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

[panting]

[dog whining]

Asshole.

Please, can you just
put me to work today?

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

[birds chirping]

[car alarm beeps]

[car alarm beeps]

I'll have
a Long Island iced tea.

[chuckling]
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.

[chuckling]

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.

[growling]

-[barking]
-[person laughing]

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?

[chuckling]

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.

[Barack Obama]
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.

[man and woman laughing
over recording]

[Snyder]
Winner.

Here, I'm gonna give
you another assignment.

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

[Reality]
Wait, Sargent.

Yeah, what's up?

This is a little kid.

I hope I'm wrong.

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

-[blowing whistle]
-[propulsive music]

[panting]

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?

[loud music playing,
people laughing]

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.

[loud music playing,
people shouting]

[music fading]

[recording of boy
speaking Pashto echoing]

Hey, what's up?

-[loud music resumes]
-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.

[loud music playing]

Sorry.

What?

You don't date.

My bad. I forgot.

[muffled music
over car stereo]

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?

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".

-[laughing]
-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?

-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.

[agent]
Get the dog.

-[agent 2] Yeah.
-Let's go.

-Gonna check the back?
-Copy.

[agents chattering]

[Agent Garrick]
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

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

"120 pounds".
You guys flatter me.

That's what was
on your license.

Well, I lied about that.
[chuckling]

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.

[agent outside]
Come on, guys, pick up
the pace here. Let's go.

[agents chattering]

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.

[Agent Garrick]
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.

[Agent Garrick]
It got outside.

It made its way
to a publication,

one that
you've read at work,

according to your

Wow. Crazy.

[reporter on TV]
25-year-old

Reality Leigh Winner

of Augusta, Georgia
is charged with sending...

[mother]
Oh my God.

...a classified report
about Russia's interference

in the 2016 election
to an online media outlet.

[reporter 2]
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.

[Reality]
If you've heard of me at all,

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

[somber music]

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.

[inmates chattering loudly]

[inmates chattering loudly]

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.

[laughing]

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.

[reporter]
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.

[Judge]
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.

[Solari]
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.

[Reality] You know when
you walk into a room

and you just feel like
there's already

a whole narrative
about who you are?

[speaking inaudibly]

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.

[Reality]
Ever written anything you
wouldn't want people

taking out of context?

[Solari]
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!
-[Judge] Overruled!

My daughter isn't
a terrorist!

Anything else?

[Reality] What's the dumbest
thing you ever said

when you were
scared shitless?

[Brittany on recording]
Don't discount the effect

of being white and blonde.

[Reality on recording]
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.

[Reality]
And how could I,

of all people,

not have known
they'd be listening?

[reporter]
The Augusta woman accused
of leaking classified

government information
will remain in jail

is a flight risk.

I lost track of time.

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.

[Reality] Sometimes, they put
prisoners on planes

the country for weeks,

It's like waterboarding,

I can do

What's the point?

Reality...

[Anderson Cooper]
You believe she will
be made an example of.

What do you feel about that?

[mother]
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.
-[patriotic music plays]

You're getting pardoned.

They're giving you the
Presidential Medal of Freedom.

-[music stops]
-[Reality] 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.

[cows lowing]

It's funny.

I spent the first
18 years of my life
