you

ever since I was a little girl I learned

to keep myself busy so that I wouldn't

have to confront my true feelings

immersing myself and my work got me

recognition your list but my inner self

who was living in denial until it

happened when the truth hit me in the

face things I've got to do today get the

click the files and the video tapes on

florian from the newspaper and they get

the police file and the coroner's report

on Marianne Norman's so-called suicide

and make love to my husband before he

goes on his book tour you're not the

only reporter they have why don't you

take a break this is from a guy who

wrote 11 books coming saturate it's only

10

what is it no deadlines you the usual

Jess I'm gonna be gone for three weeks I

miss you already

you

Jessica I need you in the office as soon

as possible it's very important hey Pete

what's up okay I'll be there in an hour

relax relax not now I've gotten good

with paper well in that case I guess I

better get back in the show I'm kidding

it's a joke

Oh so if you don't get your wait why

sarcasm is that what you tell all those

tell them to open up to enjoy life to

let go which is something that you

haven't been able to do that's the point

of my book remember Greg don't use me to

practice for your goddamn book tour

Jessie Jess I think you know we need to

see somebody talk about you and me stuff

about your mother I won't be able to

take you to there

I left my itinerary on you're gonna be

in Sydney until Friday I'll call you

know you'll be back on the six yeah I'm

sorry I'm gonna miss your birthday

the newspaper was more than my business

it was my theater the one place I could

be the person I kept telling myself I

was brilliant totally in control about

his feminine is a printing press

one thing the Tribune has always had and

always will happen

nothing gets printed that we don't stand

behind 100% good that's good to know

Jessica I don't believe you've met Mike

Florian how are you mrs. Matthews

fine mr. Florian is a friend of Dawkins

Jess

apparently he's heard some rumors that

you were preparing some sort of attack

on him and I just wanted to make sure

that you can believe everything you read

in the paper

well I'm sure Pete's been very

reassuring okay okay

please mrs. man you see I don't really

care what you say about me as long as

it's accurate but you know I have been

reading you for years and you've done a

fantastic job with the Brooks cover-up

the defense contract mass noon you've

done your homework yes yes I am but what

I'm trying is Jessica

jet why record you want to do a story on

me you a profile on my company my

political interest your relationship

with Mary Ann Norman Oh amazing

Jessica give me a ring in my office

better you call me than me call my

lawyers kind of messy take care of

yourself Pete it's been a good fun

you set me up for that

Florian just walked in two minutes ago I

called because Daken called me he's

worried about the story what a surprise

surprise or not he owns the paper now

you can't go off half-cocked on this

thing respected businessman good friend

he'll be back president together for

Christ's sake

where it is they get an ambassador's

post in Europe no don't misunderstand

Jess it's not you

I mean you proved yourself to me a long

time ago but this story is it's just

hearsay and murder is just hearsay Mary

Anne Norman slept with half the CEOs in

La God knows who was with her when she

died

so why'd she call me why did she say she

had something on Florian two days later

she's dead that doesn't mean he killed

her suppose it is in him you've heard of

a thing called libel

maybe you doesn't floor you but I just

started up I need time check things out

just be damn sure you know only when I

found out you were married

Pete was a borderline alcoholic and

Dagon's best friend but he stood by me

more often than not perhaps because he

had a soft spot for me he did what he

could keep his oversexed underpaid

employees incorruptible but nobody could

play hall monitor better than I could

Kathy can you get me an empty file box

from the storage room I need to take

some files home where I'll be working

for the next few days Thanks

here's Mathias used thanks

is there anything else there is one

other thing Kathy you're an intern at a

newspaper office not a cocktail lounge

you

I never met Mary Anne Norman but I felt

like I knew her ambitious beautiful so

sure she was in charge of the game the

night she called me I heard terror in

her voice and it scared me because it

sounded like my voice that same terror

that life was out of control when I

heard she was dead I felt like I'd had a

warning but I didn't listen

weird for me and believe that this

visual tour

we'll be a great asset to everybody here

my friends and neighbors

this is justice start you came you came

to us a while back you asked for our

help and we delivered and now it's up to

you it's up to you to take charge of

your community it's up to you to take

charge of the neighborhood and to stand

out to set the example to make the

difference to be everything that God

intended you to be and nothing less than

that nothing else is acceptable I thank

you again

you

Gregg told me to read his book while he

was gone he said it was the closest

thing to his being there

I guess that's why I resisted it why did

the most wonderful man I'd ever met my

life make me feel like a total failure

he was loving sensual considerate but

there was something hidden between us

something secret something just out of

reach

I never could finish Gregg's books it

was like reading my own biography

whatever he'd written no matter how many

millions of people read it I knew he'd

written it just for me but I didn't want

any help I didn't want to know who I was

I was about to find out

hi mrs. Matthews dry-cleaning Thanks

so we just charge that to your count

like usual sure okay

bye-bye hmm Oh thought some change the

pictures in your husband's jacket it's

all in here

Thanks okay good day YouTube

you

there I was 10 years old again arrogant

little Jessica trying to solve the big

puzzle I had to know who she was what

she gave him I couldn't I could figure

out part of it sex with a closed door in

started thinking about all Gregg's trips

away his long afternoons at the

publishers for 10 years I'd interview

junkies pimps cops hookers I'd lived on

the streets for a story run through a

blaze of bullets

nothing could frighten me then one

little photograph and all those

beautiful walls I built up came crashing

down I was a child again one cheap whore

made me feel like the most pathetic

creature on earth

today's mail I received several sexually

explicit pictures of you and a man I

also received a check drawn on your

account for $1,000 made out to a known

what you do on your own time it's none

of my business but I work for the

Tribune and this type of lifestyle

compromises the moral standards of the

paper I mean I have no choice but to

pass this material on to Daken and when

he finds out I'm sorry Jessica don't

make me say it

you

I knew I'd been set up but I couldn't

think about it not yet not until I was

out of there not until they'd stopped

happened and who done it I only knew

that I had to get the hell out of there

prosecutors wouldn't confirm or deny the

charges against co-defendant Tracy

Collins were being dropped in exchange

for testimony as state witness the file

on Maryanne Norman's death was wrong

Gregg and I never talked about it again

understood I'd found the other woman and

she was me
