Original subtitles

- All right, darlings, let's catch up

with our delightful trio. A newly single Sutton

focused on her career. - I'm actually here

to pitch myself as your stylist.

- But after a long night at the office,

that focus got a little blurry.

Kat made a grand gesture...

- Adena! - And had a grand old time

with Adena at the airport,

but they missed their connection.

And Jane worked on a big investigative piece...

- It's a pro/pro list. - Looks like "Incite"

has pulled ahead.

- Trying to figure out if she should take a new job,

but leaving old friends behind is difficult.

even for "The Bold Type."

- All right, pick it up! Come on.

The endorphins are gonna get your mind off Adena

and get your mind off of Richard...or Alex.

Who are we getting our mind off of?

- Ha ha! - Wait. Why are we

getting over Alex? Does that mean

you guys finally talked about all the stuff?

- Ha ha! It's been less than a week.

Makes perfect sense that it's still

in the awkward small talk territory.

And I'm not talking about this over cardio.

- All right, great. Brunch then?

- Yeah, dawg!

Hello? Tiny Jane?

Brunch? - Yeah, sure.

- Great. - After running.

Look, I know you guys don't like to run,

but it really helps me clear my head,

and I'm nervous about this conversation

I have to have with Jacqueline. - Can't believe you're actually

going through with it. - Well, "Incite" wants me

to start in two weeks, so I'd better give my notice now.

- Still not a valid reason to run.

- Well, it'll help you get out of your Adena funk.

- So there's a part about that night

that I never told you guys. - Okay, but if it's sex stuff,

it's gonna happen over pancakes--I'm done with this.

- I almost got on the plane with her.

- What? - Wait--to the Middle East?

- Really? If I had known you'd stop,

I would have told you like 20 minutes ago.

- Whoa...but seriously?

- Yeah. I had the ticket in my hand,

and I was gonna do it. - My God, that's so romantic!

- I got swept up in it, you know?

The way that traveling makes her feel

and the way that it makes her think, I...

I wanted that.

I don't know.

And you can stop looking at me like that,

because I didn't do it.

- I would have supported you if you did.

- Okay--what?

- Yeah, what? - Yeah!

Look, I know I don't talk about it a lot,

and I'm not gonna start talking about it now,

but ever since I got the results from my BRCA test,

I just...

You know, life can change in a flash,

so...what are we waiting for, you know?

I mean, like look at this view.

We should be taking in every experience.

We should be living our lives, taking risks

and, you know, putting ourselves out there.

Guys?

Are you kidding me?

- Run, tiny Jane! - Run faster!

- You can do it!

- Hey, check it out.

1 million, 9 hundred and 90 hundred,

7,000...653 Twitter followers!

- Are you sure you're even saying that number right?

- Not at all, but...you know what number iseasy to say

is 2 million. I'm so close.

We really had half this when I started.

This right here is power.

- You're ridiculous. - You're tiny.

- Okay, sent. I still haven't moved past

the "almost got on the plane with Adena" thing.

- Well, you're gonna need to move past it,

because I have. I've built up way too much here,

you know?

You make fun of me all you want, all right?

But this actually means something, you know?

I have an audience of almost 2 million people

like right at my fingertips. I can do so much with that.

So much more than I could wandering around some...

foreign country without even so much

as a change of underwear.

- Really? - That's gross.

- Oh. Hey. Look.

- Oh, yeah.

I'm gonna go talk to him right now.

because Iam emotionally mature. - Show off.

- Morning. - Heyyyy.

- After you. - Thanks!

- So how-- - Sutton, I--

- You go first.

- Fashion Week's gonna be insane.

- Okay. I'll go first.

I am really sick of this awkward small talk.

- Oh, my God, so am I.

- I mean, this-- - I know!

I'm so happy that you said something.

- Good morning, Sutton.

- Morning, Martha. - Morning.

- So you wanna just... go out?

Like on a date.

- Sutton! Come hither.

- Flying in! - Is that something

you'd be opposed to? - Um...

- Sutton!

- Go. We'll talk later.

- Fashion week.

Busiest of your newly adolescent life.

I own your ass this week.

- You own my ass every week. - You're getting

the hang of this. You will be working

every second of every day this week.

You will get me out of the door to every show on time.

We wear the designer-- - To honor the designer. Got it.

I have all of your outfits steamed, pressed, and organized.

- Good. No mix-ups. Mix-ups happen,

I'm the one who ends up on page 6.

I will not share ink with Anthony Weiner.

- Not today. Not ever.

- Also I know

sometimes you send assistants to cover shows

when you're too busy.

I would love an opportunity to do that.

- I like the confidence.

But I only send my staff that I know I can trust.

- Understood. So if there's anything I can do this week

to prove that I'm trustworthy-- - Do you remember the story

of Cinderella? - She works her ass off

and gets to go to the ball at the end?

- You're the mice.

Or the birds or... I don't remember.

Yeah.

- Nice work with the Fun and Fearless Denim piece.

I don't have any notes.

- Um, Jacqueline...

I was wondering if I could schedule a sit-down with you.

- I'm...sitting. What do you need?

- Well, I was hoping we could talk privately.

- Okay.

Andrew will reach out.

Kat, talk to me about the Fashion Week party.

But let's walk while we talk,

because I am nowhere close to my step goal.

- Uh...party's gonna be awesome.

RSVPs are solid.

We got a good blend of A-listers and influencers

and a bunch of strategies

to get them posting all over the big four

with Twitter being the obvious priority.

- Great. - Yeah. Everything I'm bringing

to the party is total social media bait.

I actually found these really cool

green screen photo booths... - Hmm.

Sounds fun! - Yeah.

I've got a certain number of posts and shares

that I need to hit in order to call the party a success.

Have you checked our Twitter lately?

- Almost to 2 million. - Yeah.

- Jacqueline, these need to be signed.

- Okay. Thank you, Andrew. - And, uh, now is

the only time you have for Jane. - Let's do it now.

- Okay.

- Jane. Come on in. Sit down.

- I wasn't expecting to meet with you so quickly.

Um...

this is a very difficult conversation for me.

- I know what this is about.

- I figured you might.

Jacqueline-- - I noticed you looking her up.

Mia Lawrence--she's one of the first stories

you ever pitched to me.

You want to know why I wouldn't let you write it.

- Well, I saw her in the park the other day,

and I-I've always thought that she was

an amazing story for us. But what I wanted to say--

- Mia's story is a huge one.

It's emotionally very complex.

I didn't think you had the experience

or the skill for it

when you first brought it to me.

- Oh.

- But attention for her has really dropped off,

so you're not wrong wanting to revisit it.

- Well, actually-- - But I'll be honest.

I still do have reservations about giving it to you.

Jane, I've seen you grow a lot since you first started here,

and I'm not criticizing your work.

It's been tremendous for a young reporter.

But...it's one thing

to write about yourself.

And it's another thing entirely

to be able to capture someone else's trauma.

- You don't think I could do it?

I feel very confident that I could handle her story.

But...what I wanted to talk to you--

- Hold on.

All right.

Let's give it a shot.

But if...and only if

you are absolutely sure

you're up for it.

- I'm absolutely up for it.

- Great.

Don't let me down.

- I can't believe you wussed out on telling Jacqueline.

- I didn't wuss out.

I wanted this to be my first story,

and now it'll be my last. It's kind of poetic.

- Pretty it up however you want.

You still wussed out. - Okay, I wussed out.

But I've wanted to work at "Scarlet" my whole life,

and leaving is hard.

- Yeah, I know. We get it, babe.

- I still really wanna talk about this,

but I'm about to go back into the office,

and then I'm gonna be off the grid, so...

can we switch to my thing real quick?

- Mm. Depends. What's your thing?

- Alex wants us to be together. - Yeah, we can switch

to your thing. - Wow.

Oh, no!

I have to go back to Marc Jacobs!

- No, wait, wait, wait! How do we feel about you and Alex?

- We feel... open to it?

- Why did your voice go up at the end?

- Because I'm a millennial?

- Really?

- It's not how I thought it would go,

but he's always there for me, he makes me laugh,

and he's pretty cute when you get him out of the khakis.

- Oh, really? Do tell. - Oh, don't tell.

I sit across from him. - No, not for long.

Details. Go on.

- I'm really into the idea of having somebody

that always has my back. - What about Richard?

- No, no! That's so over, so over.

Everything with Richard was always so complicated.

With Alex, it'd be so easy.

- Okay. I mean, if that's what you really want.

- What I really want is to make Fashion Week my bitch.

Taxi!

- Hi. Are you...

are you here to take a turn?

- No. I'm not.

I'm Jane Sloan from "Scarlett."

I was hoping to interview you for the magazine.

is that okay?

- Sure. I was hoping...

Well, that's the wrong thing to say.

I'm glad you're not a victim.

But I was hoping to take a break.

But, yeah, happy to talk.

- Do you mind if I record?

- It is an art piece.

The whole point is to get people to see it.

So go ahead, record. - Okay.

So when you first started,

there was a lot of attention on you.

- Yeah. But that's... died down quite a bit.

- And is your goal still the same,

to...never drop the weights?

- I still think that there's enough

women and men like me who never got justice

that we could go on carrying the weights forever.

But realistically,

I'll need to put the weights down at some point.

- And when will that be?

- Excuse me.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Feel a little nervous right now.

- I understand.

I'm guessing my pain is your pain.

- Sutton!

I already forgot why I was yelling your name.

- Your outfit for Proenza Schouler.

- Yes, that was it. - It's on the rack behind you.

- The boots. The ochre combat boots?

- They just came in. They're downstairs.

- Then why aren't you on your way to go get them?

- Because you just called my name?

- That seems valid.

- Yeah.

Fashion department. over speaker: Hey, it's me.

- You're calling. Aren't you...here?

- I was just calling to say hi.

See, I'm a little new at this sneaking around thing.

How'm I doing? - Not bad.

You probably want an answer to your question?

- That would be nice. - Sutton!

Those boots aren't going to grab themselves.

- On my way. Give me a five-minute head start.

I'm going downstairs. Meet me in the stairwell

at the back of the building.

- It all started with this one image

at the prosecutor's office.

It was a portrait of Lady Justice behind him.

It was so hard talking to him,

so I would just stare at her.

Felt like... she had my back.

But after a year, he said there wasn't enough evidence

and they were dropping the charges.

But...

I still believe in that image.

We met at an art show.

I walked up to him-- which is something

the prosecutor was really hung up on,

because I made the first move.

When I said I needed to go home,

he offered to walk me.

- No...

- We cut through the park, and he...

he pulled me into the gazebo...

I asked him to stop.

I begged him to stop.

The system failed me, so...

my rapist is an innocent man

and he gets to just go on living.

That's what the prosecutor said that I should do.

But I don't know how to do that.

People looked at me, and I looked so normal,

but I don't feel normal.

It's like...

the pain didn't fit my body.

And there's something about...standing here,

owning it.

Does that make sense?

- Are these your interview notes?

- Yeah.

- You need to go deeper.

I want you to schedule a follow-up interview.

- I already did. I wanted to

gain Mia's trust first.

She's very open, but there's a part of her

that's still guarded, for obvious reasons.

- Yeah. I would think so.

"How does it impact you

"that people for the most part have stopped coming out

to see you?" Did you ask her that?

- Yes.

In the beginning, there were a lot of crowds,

a lot of people coming out to support her,

but...not anymore. - What did she say about that?

- She said that as an artist, she can handle the rejection.

But as a rape survivor...

it's hard to stand there alone.

- Okay. Jane, now, this is not a simple story,

so when you have your follow-up questions,

I want you to run them by me first.

- Are you going somewhere?

- Ah, no, you know me.

I prefer the virtual world.

What's up? - Nothing.

Jacqueline's just putting a lot of added pressure

on this article, and I just wanna do a good job

and go out on a high note.

I don't understand how many times

I have to prove myself to her. - What do you care?

Doesn't what's-her-face from "Incite" like love you?

- Shh! - Shh!

- I care because this poor girl

just wants to be seen.

I saw somebody take the weights from her,

and you should have been there.

I don't think there's anything I could write

that'll be that powerful.

Hey, you're almost at 2 million.

- Yep.

1, 997, 400...

- Okay.

Wanna use this for good?

We would use a webcam to live stream,

and your art would be broadcast to our 2 million followers.

Well, almost 2 million.

- Not everybody's like me.

What about people who don't wanna be on camera?

- Well, there's actually a button right here

that people can press, so if they want to

hold the weights but not have their face shown,

they just press this.

The camera will tilt down

and just show their hands.

Look, I know that, uh,

the internet brings out the worst in people, but...

it also brings out the best.

- And you said attention has died down on you,

so we'd really like to help revive it.

- Okay.

Let's try it.

- Okay. - Okay.

Let me get it set up.

- Hey. - Hi.

- Well, looks like someone's conquering Fashion Week.

- Yeah, I'm trying... one pair of boots at a time.

I'm determined to get Oliver to send me to one of those shows.

- He will.

I've watched you conquer bigger divas.

Okay, so...sure.

- Sure?

- Yeah, let's...let's... try this.

- Really.

- Yeah.

- I'm gonna kiss you now.

- I know.

- Oh, hello!

- Hi. - Hi...

- I am very, very behind

on my step count,

and I don't see any reason why

"this" should derail that,

so I'm gonna just keep on walking,

and then the three of us

will have a little meeting upstairs.

Should take about 20 minutes.

- I'm gonna go first. Yeah.

- Oh! Thanks for getting here so quickly.

Just kidding. Where have you been?

- The park. - Yeah.

- So what happened?

Jacqueline caught you and Alex?

- She's making both of us

meet with HR individually.

I can't believe this.

I was with Richard for all that time

and we never got caught once,

and 30 seconds into whatever this thing with Alex is

Jacqueline busts us? And I can't even stay here,

because Oliver thinks that I'm picking out

belts for him, so...

- Take care of you, babe.

Wow, this just got so interesting.

It escalated quickly.

- I know!

- Oh. Hey.

- Hey. - Did you see?

- I'm looking right now.

- We're getting Mia's story out there.

- I'm gonna update Jacqueline.

- Okay.

- I'm sure you understand, as a large corporation,

Steinem must investigate

any and all breaches in corporate policy.

We're on your side. We're just here to help.

This meeting is just to establish some facts.

I'm having someone from legal join us,

make sure we ask all the right questions.

I'm not sure if you know each other,

but this is Richard Hunter.

- Good afternoon.

- Hello.

- Richard, Alex Crawford is senior to Sutton Brady,

and that's what we want to follow up on here.

- I understand.

- Alex is in a completely different department,

and we're not-- - Sutton,

we're going to make this as painless as possible,

and everything said in this room is completely confidential.

Right, Richard?

- Of course.

- Can you describe the nature of your relationship with Alex?

- It just started, so...

we're not--it's not...

defined.

- And have you ever received

any preferential treatment from him

because of your relationship?

- No.

- Didn't he just assign you your first styling credit?

- Yes.

- Okay, moving on,

did you ever at any point feel coerced

or pressured into having a relationship with him?

- We don't have-- - We do need

a better understanding of what this is.

Was it ever...intimate in nature?

- Um...

I--

- Was it ever sexual?

- I don't, um...

Yes.

- Pardon me.

- Okay!

Just a few more questions.

- This might be the worst day of my adult life.

Time check? - Uh, you have...

11 minutes until Oliver gets out of the show.

But...cheer up, kid,

'cause I got you presents.

- Well, Alex is in an HR interview

with Richard right now, so good luck cheering me up.

Ooh, lip stick! - Mm-hmm.

- So why did we go crazy at Macy's?

- Uh...because I'm worth it.

- And I know it's a little overboard, but...

it's my party, so...

- And you've worked really hard for this.

- Yeah, I have.

And my Twitter numbers are up.

I'm using them to actually help someone, so...

life's good.

- Everythiiing's great!

- Babe.

- Here.

More presents.

- Ooh!

- You know what?

It's all gonna work itself out.

- Guys...how did this get so messy?

Don't answer that!

- Jacqueline. You wanted to see us?

- Yes. I wanted to talk to you about the webcam

and how it specifically is supporting Mia.

- Absolutely. Uh...

It's been amazing.

With Kat's help, our hashtag is trending,

and the webcam feed is getting tens of thousands of views.

- Yeah. And of those viewers, 31% are leaving comments,

which puts us in the excellent category.

- Well, that does sound very excellent.

And yet, even with all those great analytics,

we are still left with this--

one girl alone for hours in a park.

Where's all the support you told me about?

Where's the audience for her art?

- Uh, well, they're online. Did you see the comments?

- Kat...no one is showing up.

- This is how people show up now.

They...leave a comment

or send a hug emogi, you know?

- Yeah. Well... and then Twitter moves on

to the next big thing. - I mean, we're doing everything

we can think of. - Then we need to do better.

I know somebody over at the Rape Crisis Center.

We need to talk to her.

We need to reach out to other activist groups.

I mean, this article has the potential

to be very powerful, and I am going to do

everything I can to make sure that it is.

- Okay, well, I'm almost finished with the piece.

I could show it to you tomorrow.

- Jane, don't rush this. Take your time.

This is very important.

- Yeah.

- Okay, you guys need to go get ready.

- You need to tell Jacqueline you're leaving

before tomorrow. - I know.

It's under control.

- Door mouse... - What do you need?

- For you to get out. If you're late to the party,

I'm the one who looks like a mean boss.

- I'm almost done. - With my show notes?

You should have had those transcribed hours ago.

- I did. Check your email.

But I could never afford most of those brands.

- Which is why you're always borrowing from the closet.

- Right.

But most of our readers don't have the same access,

so based on what you like from the shows,

I'm putting together a list of similar

but more affordable items from retailers in our price range.

I'll email it to you.

- Hey. - Hi.

- This is amazing! - Thank you.

- Great job. - Thanks.

Bar? both: Yes.

- Bar. - Great.

- Let's... - Yeah.

- Uh...dessert! - Great!

- Oh. - Oh...

- Nope. - Um...

let's take another lap.

- What? - I'm not ready.

- You know what? I've got work to do,

so you two go deal with your issues.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- I feel really bad.

I never meant to put you in such a terrible position.

- Yeah, it wasn't my best HR meeting.

Alex held up like a champ. He's a good guy.

- He is.

I really regret how everything happened.

- For what it's worth, I have a lot of regrets too.

- I really don't want that to be true.

- I don't mean that I regret us being together.

I mean...

Sutton, I got so wrapped up in work

and what might happen if we got caught.

- I know.

- I regret not trying harder.

- I don't think there's anything

either of us could have done differently.

- I don't think I can agree with that.

I should have fought for you.

I should have really fought for you.

You look great.

- Don't you think her music's amazing? I know!

- Jacqueline.

- I have to have a word with you.

- Oh, okay. Nice to see you guys.

Thank you for coming. Okay, see you later.

Keep up the good work.

Can I get another one, please?

- You bet. - Thank you.

Ah. It's a great party, huh?

Jane, is everything okay?

- I've been trying to talk to you all day,

and I know this isn't the right time, but...

I was offered a job at "Incite",

and I've decided to take it.

- Really?

- Mia's story will be my last.

I'll be leaving after that.

I wish I could have delivered

the way you wanted me to, so...

I'm sorry I let you down.

- Jane, you didn't let me down.

- Well, I feel like I did.

Anyways...

thank you so much

for everything you've taught me.

It's been an incredible experience, and...

I'll never forget working for you.

- Hi, mama. We got your text.

- Um...

I did it.

I quit.

- Oh!

- Are you okay? - Yeah.

I think I might just...

take a walk or something.

- You want us to come with you? - No. Um...

I should probably be alone.

But I'll see you at home. - Okay.

- Love you.

- Jane. Hi.

- Hi.

- Do you have more questions?

- No. Um...

I know I can't carry your weights for you,

but...I was thinking

maybe I could stand with you for a little while.

- That would be great.

- Hey, Alex.

Wanna take a picture with me?

- Uh, yeah. Excuse me.

Uh, after you. - Thank you.

- Alex, I need to be honest with you.

- I know what you're gonna say.

That's gonna be a great one for the scrapbook.

I never meant to lead you on.

I really did wanna try.

I just-- - I don't wanna be that guy.

- What guy?

- The guy you were with

when you're really in love with the other guy.

- I think you're amazing.

I know.

I'll see you around, Sutton.

- Come on!

- Hey.

You okay?

- Yeah, I'm good.

But, hey, I gotta tell you.

Your photo booth seemed like somuch fun...

until I was breaking up in three international places.

And Mars. - Oh...

- Which was a nice touch, by the way.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Hey, Kat, did you see?

You hit 2 million!

- Congrats! - Oh...

- "Oh"? That's it?

Kat, you've been obsessing about hitting this number.

- Yeah. Just...

just doesn't feel how I thought it would.

- How does it feel?

- Uh...empty?

Should we get outta here?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- Let's Find my Friend Jane.

- Yeah. I got it.

Oh. - Oh!

- Well, I'm glad you're here.

These nights get long.

- Hey, Mia.

- Hi, Kat!

- What are you guys doing here?

- Showing up.

- Thank you.

- You guys make me feel like I'm a little underdressed.

- We worked at a news magazine together,

and he was senior to me,

so all my stories had to run past him.

And this was... over 20 years ago

and my first year as a journalist.

And the environment was tough for anyone,

but especially if you were a woman.

And his professional respect meant something to me.

I worked hard for it.

- What happened?

- Oh...

One night he... asked me to stay late.

He said that he wanted to help me

with my story, that it had potential

but that it needed work and...

I accepted.

Gratefully.

That was not... an invitation,

but...he took it that way.

We were the only ones...

in the office that night,

and...

I have never felt so...

powerless.

- Did you ever consider pressing charges?

- Not even for a second.

That would have ended my career,

or at the very least defined it.

So...I made a choice.

I decided to push it down, go back to work,

and just...

pretend like nothing had ever happened.

- Have you told anyone?

- Ian.

We started dating not long after,

and he needed to understand why I had some trust issues.

- I just have one last question.

Why come forward now?

- Well, Mia asked...

if she would ever feel normal again.

And I can only speak from my own experience, but...

I would say the answer is no.

But you find a new normal.

And it works so well that sometimes

you don't even know that it's not.

And...

I don't think I realized how much of the weight

I was still carrying.

Me pushing you on this story was misdirected.

It was not about you. It was about me.

And I'm sorry for that.

- I'm not.

You made me a better writer.

- Well, I'll take that credit.

- And I hope where you're going

there's someone who's gonna keep on pushing you

because, Jane, I really do believe

that you have the potential to be exceptional.

- Hey, Oliver, I have your outfit

for the Marc Jacobs show.

Oh, my God. I don't know what happened.

- Hmm...elegant. Sophisticated.

But not exactly my style. Or size.

- I'll fix it right away. - No, it's too late.

You'll never get me a new outfit in time.

Although...

this one seems to be about...your size.

And black is an excellent color for you.

Guess you'll just have to take my place at the show.
