1
00:02:15,511 --> 00:02:17,011
Please! Please.

2
00:02:17,012 --> 00:02:19,348
Can you turn off the light?
Just for a few hours--

3
00:03:02,683 --> 00:03:05,393
<i>And security is ramping up in Paris
as the city prepares</i>

4
00:03:05,394 --> 00:03:08,312
<i>for the opening ceremony
of the Summer Olympic Games.</i>

5
00:03:08,313 --> 00:03:11,732
<i>Organizers are promising a dazzling
spectacle with plenty of surprises,</i>

6
00:03:11,733 --> 00:03:14,068
<i>and later in the hour,
we're gonna take you behind the scenes</i>

7
00:03:14,069 --> 00:03:15,820
<i>and show you
how some of that magic is made.</i>

8
00:03:15,821 --> 00:03:20,741
<i>And finally, it's day 28 of
Bradley Jackson's detainment in Belarus.</i>

9
00:03:20,742 --> 00:03:22,870
<i>We hope and pray that she will come home--</i>

10
00:03:48,770 --> 00:03:50,439
I understand. I understand.

11
00:03:51,148 --> 00:03:56,485
But it has been a month, and every day
we keep having the exact same conversation

12
00:03:56,486 --> 00:03:58,906
while people are forgetting
what's happening to her.

13
00:03:59,615 --> 00:04:02,075
Yes. No, I understand. Thank you.

14
00:04:04,328 --> 00:04:07,079
Well, they still won't designate
Bradley as unlawfully detained.

15
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,373
Not until they have more information.

16
00:04:09,374 --> 00:04:13,587
So, we can just add that to the list
of fucked-up shit we cannot fix.

17
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:16,380
Did you hear anything that I just said?

18
00:04:16,923 --> 00:04:19,301
What? Yes. Come here.
You have to see this.

19
00:04:20,552 --> 00:04:22,512
- Come here. Look. Look, look, look.
- What's that?

20
00:04:22,513 --> 00:04:24,347
Okay. This is the EPA report
on Wolf River,

21
00:04:24,348 --> 00:04:26,057
the one from 2019, right?

22
00:04:26,058 --> 00:04:30,896
This is the internal Martel emissions doc
that Bradley sent over.

23
00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:35,233
They're nowhere close.

24
00:04:35,234 --> 00:04:37,944
- The EPA numbers are way lower.
- It's way lower.

25
00:04:37,945 --> 00:04:40,279
And, I mean, I don't wanna sound crazy,

26
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,532
but what if somebody falsified
the EPA report?

27
00:04:42,533 --> 00:04:44,742
And maybe...
maybe Martel paid them to do it.

28
00:04:44,743 --> 00:04:47,620
I don't know. That's sounding
a little bit like a Bro conspiracy theory.

29
00:04:47,621 --> 00:04:48,996
What, you mean the future Senator Hartman?

30
00:04:48,997 --> 00:04:50,540
- Don't say that.
- Okay, look.

31
00:04:50,541 --> 00:04:52,835
- Just "what if" for a second, okay?
- Okay, okay.

32
00:04:53,418 --> 00:04:56,003
Bradley's source works at Martel, okay.
She clearly was onto something

33
00:04:56,004 --> 00:04:57,338
they didn't want her to know about.

34
00:04:57,339 --> 00:05:02,386
If we can somehow prove that there was
a cover-up involving the EPA,

35
00:05:03,262 --> 00:05:04,262
that's front-page news.

36
00:05:04,263 --> 00:05:06,138
And then people start talking
about Bradley again.

37
00:05:06,139 --> 00:05:08,307
That's it, that's it.
So now we just need to find somebody

38
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:10,059
who knows more about these numbers.

39
00:05:10,060 --> 00:05:11,185
Wait. Bradley.

40
00:05:11,186 --> 00:05:14,147
Didn't she say something
about Cory and the EPA report?

41
00:05:14,690 --> 00:05:16,733
Remember? And that's
why he didn't run the story?

42
00:05:17,317 --> 00:05:20,028
Maybe Cory lied.
Maybe he's just covering his ass.

43
00:05:20,863 --> 00:05:22,030
Jesus, Alex.

44
00:05:22,990 --> 00:05:26,326
This means Bradley was right.
About all of it.

45
00:05:43,468 --> 00:05:45,095
You are having trouble sleeping?

46
00:05:45,762 --> 00:05:46,847
Yes.

47
00:05:47,681 --> 00:05:49,099
The light never turns off.

48
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:51,350
Please.

49
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:53,811
Who were you meeting in Minsk?

50
00:05:53,812 --> 00:05:56,022
I ca... I can't.

51
00:05:56,023 --> 00:05:57,774
I need a name.

52
00:05:59,067 --> 00:06:01,778
Please, this person is not a dissident. I...

53
00:06:02,863 --> 00:06:04,156
I'm not a spy.

54
00:06:05,115 --> 00:06:06,366
I'm not a spy.

55
00:06:31,058 --> 00:06:33,268
- Shit.
- That's a cut!

56
00:06:35,312 --> 00:06:38,189
Goddamn it. Eric?
How long is it gonna take to fix this?

57
00:06:38,190 --> 00:06:39,441
Give us a minute.

58
00:06:40,442 --> 00:06:41,943
It's like <i>The Matrix</i>. Wow.

59
00:06:41,944 --> 00:06:44,570
Yeah. And I'm dodging
twice as many bullets.

60
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:45,988
Well, at least you're back up and running.

61
00:06:45,989 --> 00:06:48,282
How are things going with
the fancy new star?

62
00:06:48,283 --> 00:06:50,576
Hey, how about you just ask me
what you came here to ask me,

63
00:06:50,577 --> 00:06:53,704
- 'cause I'm a little busy right now.
- Not in the mood for foreplay, huh?

64
00:06:53,705 --> 00:06:56,958
Well, life is short and I love you,
but I'm not in love with you.

65
00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:58,042
Okay.

66
00:06:58,043 --> 00:06:59,836
So I have been sifting
through the information

67
00:06:59,837 --> 00:07:02,046
that Bradley sent over
before she was detained.

68
00:07:02,047 --> 00:07:04,048
It's paperwork from Martel Chemical.

69
00:07:04,049 --> 00:07:07,927
Soil reports, groundwater tests,
and there's something weird.

70
00:07:07,928 --> 00:07:12,349
The internal numbers of Martel don't match
the EPA report on Wolf River.

71
00:07:13,058 --> 00:07:14,351
You know anything about this?

72
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:17,396
No, I don't.

73
00:07:18,522 --> 00:07:20,481
Really? You're totally in the dark?

74
00:07:20,482 --> 00:07:22,317
As I explained to Bradley,

75
00:07:23,193 --> 00:07:28,072
legal told me to move on
from the story in 2019, so I did.

76
00:07:28,073 --> 00:07:31,242
I turned that page in my life,
and I'm not trying to go back.

77
00:07:31,243 --> 00:07:32,451
- Okay, I get it--
- All right.

78
00:07:32,452 --> 00:07:36,289
But even if it means
we could bring Bradley back home?

79
00:07:36,290 --> 00:07:38,958
The only people
that can help Bradley right now

80
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:40,710
are the fine folks
at the State Department.

81
00:07:40,711 --> 00:07:43,087
I agree. And if we break Bradley's story,

82
00:07:43,088 --> 00:07:45,381
then it'll put pressure on them
to get on it, right?

83
00:07:45,382 --> 00:07:47,467
Yeah, well, that's certainly a theory.

84
00:07:49,219 --> 00:07:50,636
Well... Come on, man.

85
00:07:50,637 --> 00:07:53,472
Like, I don't really know what's going on
between Bradley and the feds,

86
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:56,851
but they're clearly not bending over
backwards to help her right now.

87
00:07:56,852 --> 00:08:00,480
Well, yeah. I mean, karma sucks,
doesn't it, Chip?

88
00:08:01,815 --> 00:08:02,900
What is wrong with you?

89
00:08:03,483 --> 00:08:04,484
Come again?

90
00:08:05,277 --> 00:08:06,652
She's in a fucking gulag, man.

91
00:08:06,653 --> 00:08:08,654
I understand you're mad at her
or something, but like--

92
00:08:08,655 --> 00:08:09,739
Mad?

93
00:08:09,740 --> 00:08:12,992
As I'm sure you know,
she strip-mined my phone,

94
00:08:12,993 --> 00:08:17,371
and, I don't know, my fucking soul
on all things Wolf River.

95
00:08:17,372 --> 00:08:20,416
Perfect timing, by the way. It really
set me up for the last couple of weeks.

96
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:23,544
I don't know if you've ever had
the honor of picking out an urn

97
00:08:23,545 --> 00:08:25,546
for the pile of dust
formerly called your mother.

98
00:08:25,547 --> 00:08:28,549
There's so many choices.
They got rosewood, they got ceramic,

99
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:30,551
they got biodegradable, they got engraved.

100
00:08:30,552 --> 00:08:33,846
It is fantastic how we've managed
to incorporate death

101
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:36,432
into the consumer economy.
While we're on the subject,

102
00:08:36,433 --> 00:08:38,434
quick question,
what do you think is worse?

103
00:08:39,144 --> 00:08:42,437
Pretending to love someone
so you can fuck 'em over,

104
00:08:42,438 --> 00:08:45,234
or killing yourself in front of them?

105
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,237
It's... you know... I just...

106
00:08:51,281 --> 00:08:52,323
Okay. I'm gonna go.

107
00:08:52,324 --> 00:08:54,576
Well, that's the best idea
you had all day.

108
00:08:55,369 --> 00:08:57,453
Copy of the EPA report on Wolf River.

109
00:08:57,454 --> 00:08:58,747
Maybe it'll jog your memory.

110
00:09:07,047 --> 00:09:08,674
And for what it's worth, man,

111
00:09:09,383 --> 00:09:12,511
Bradley was genuinely torn up
about what happened between you two.

112
00:09:14,221 --> 00:09:15,973
I think it really got to her.

113
00:09:17,558 --> 00:09:18,684
I'm sorry for your loss.

114
00:09:56,597 --> 00:09:58,807
- You don't look well.
- No.

115
00:10:00,267 --> 00:10:01,935
Are you ready to sleep?

116
00:10:02,811 --> 00:10:03,979
Yes.

117
00:10:10,194 --> 00:10:12,654
The name, then sleep.

118
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,576
We just want to talk to them.

119
00:10:18,285 --> 00:10:19,369
That's all.

120
00:11:18,929 --> 00:11:20,347
<i>Why did you come back?</i>

121
00:11:22,850 --> 00:11:24,101
For you, obviously.

122
00:11:25,310 --> 00:11:27,729
Well, yeah, I get that.
I'm totally irresistible.

123
00:11:29,439 --> 00:11:30,941
Why did I come back?

124
00:11:32,234 --> 00:11:33,443
I don't know.

125
00:11:34,319 --> 00:11:35,737
I mean, if I'm being honest,

126
00:11:36,363 --> 00:11:38,532
it was a little bit boring
teaching journalism.

127
00:11:40,993 --> 00:11:44,371
Also, I figured if nobody was gonna
punish me for what I did,

128
00:11:45,873 --> 00:11:47,332
guess I could punish myself.

129
00:11:52,337 --> 00:11:54,798
Maybe it's time to stop being punished.

130
00:11:55,632 --> 00:11:57,301
Maybe there's been enough of that.

131
00:12:02,431 --> 00:12:04,266
You know what I keep thinking about?

132
00:12:07,811 --> 00:12:09,396
The night you told me you loved me.

133
00:12:12,441 --> 00:12:15,193
Even when your brother was missing
and you thought he might be dead?

134
00:12:15,194 --> 00:12:17,236
Well, see,
that's what's so great about you,

135
00:12:17,237 --> 00:12:19,698
is you have impeccable sense of timing.

136
00:12:20,449 --> 00:12:22,742
Well, it's only been four years.

137
00:12:22,743 --> 00:12:25,204
You feel like you're ready
to get back to me on that?

138
00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:30,375
You scared the shit out of me that night.

139
00:12:33,003 --> 00:12:35,297
Then how did we end up here?

140
00:12:39,343 --> 00:12:41,720
Maybe I just wanted to figure out
what I was so scared of.

141
00:12:48,018 --> 00:12:49,186
Any answers?

142
00:12:50,521 --> 00:12:51,563
I don't know.

143
00:12:53,273 --> 00:12:54,399
It's like,

144
00:12:56,193 --> 00:12:57,444
there's you,

145
00:12:58,862 --> 00:13:00,531
and then there's everybody else.

146
00:13:03,158 --> 00:13:04,535
But there's you.

147
00:13:07,955 --> 00:13:09,248
And you're always with me.

148
00:13:11,166 --> 00:13:12,876
Even when I don't want you to be.

149
00:13:14,962 --> 00:13:16,088
You got in.

150
00:13:18,757 --> 00:13:20,300
I don't know how you did it.

151
00:13:21,885 --> 00:13:23,053
But you did.

152
00:13:33,730 --> 00:13:35,023
So...

153
00:13:38,902 --> 00:13:40,279
are we gonna try this?

154
00:13:44,867 --> 00:13:46,784
I'm gonna fuck it up a little.

155
00:13:46,785 --> 00:13:47,870
Me too.

156
00:13:50,956 --> 00:13:53,000
Well, as long as it's not just me.

157
00:13:55,419 --> 00:13:59,882
I will do my very best to disappoint you.

158
00:14:01,758 --> 00:14:02,801
Good.

159
00:14:28,118 --> 00:14:29,202
Hey.

160
00:14:29,203 --> 00:14:31,163
- Hey.
- You're here late.

161
00:14:31,747 --> 00:14:34,124
You know me.
The Games are around the corner. So...

162
00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:38,670
Actually, I was looking for Layla,
but maybe you can help me?

163
00:14:39,755 --> 00:14:42,089
After the whole Stella O24...

164
00:14:42,090 --> 00:14:43,299
Nuclear meltdown?

165
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:46,385
Well, I was gonna say, "situation,"

166
00:14:46,386 --> 00:14:48,180
- but yeah, sure.
- Okay.

167
00:14:48,764 --> 00:14:51,224
We've been triple-checking
the few AI elements

168
00:14:51,225 --> 00:14:52,892
that we're gonna roll out in Paris.

169
00:14:52,893 --> 00:14:56,812
In case Yanko's avatar starts talking
about how his radicalized ex-girlfriend

170
00:14:56,813 --> 00:14:58,648
got dragged out of the building
by the FBI?

171
00:14:58,649 --> 00:15:00,816
It's... It's funny you should mention that.

172
00:15:00,817 --> 00:15:05,154
So, IT flagged something in their report.

173
00:15:05,155 --> 00:15:09,992
It looks like there was some unauthorized
access of the Alex language model

174
00:15:09,993 --> 00:15:11,619
from a <i>TMS</i> computer.

175
00:15:11,620 --> 00:15:15,999
This happened a couple of months ago.
Before you left. In May.

176
00:15:16,834 --> 00:15:19,377
Do you mind taking a look at it for me?
I'm kinda buried.

177
00:15:19,378 --> 00:15:21,212
<i>TMS</i> is not my problem anymore.

178
00:15:21,213 --> 00:15:24,675
Well, it happened on your watch, so...

179
00:15:25,968 --> 00:15:27,594
I'd really appreciate it.

180
00:15:30,138 --> 00:15:31,430
Yeah. Sure.

181
00:15:31,431 --> 00:15:32,850
Thank you.

182
00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:34,643
You're welcome.

183
00:17:03,023 --> 00:17:06,275
Do you remember anyone working
on AI projects for <i>TMS</i> back in May?

184
00:17:06,276 --> 00:17:09,320
Somebody who would have had access
to Alex's avatar?

185
00:17:09,820 --> 00:17:11,447
Not really, and why would anyone do that?

186
00:17:11,448 --> 00:17:13,866
Yeah, I thought
all the AI stuff was Ben's team?

187
00:17:13,867 --> 00:17:16,285
<i>TMS</i> is very hands-off on that.

188
00:17:16,286 --> 00:17:19,373
- Right? Yeah.
- Right. Yeah. Thanks.

189
00:18:51,924 --> 00:18:53,050
Cory?

190
00:19:03,310 --> 00:19:04,353
What is it?

191
00:19:08,315 --> 00:19:09,399
What's wrong?

192
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:26,250
Did you have something to do
with Bradley getting taken?

193
00:19:28,877 --> 00:19:31,879
- Cory...
- Hey, just tell me.

194
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,632
Of course not.

195
00:19:35,133 --> 00:19:36,509
Why would you think that?

196
00:19:36,510 --> 00:19:39,387
Well, your family must have
a financial interest in Martel

197
00:19:39,388 --> 00:19:42,598
since you paid Fred to bury the story.

198
00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:44,392
I thought we'd put this behind us.

199
00:19:44,393 --> 00:19:46,520
Yeah, we did, but Bradley brought it back.

200
00:19:49,022 --> 00:19:50,899
She was getting close.

201
00:19:52,651 --> 00:19:54,236
She was getting close to something,

202
00:19:55,028 --> 00:19:57,656
and now not even the Red Cross
can get in to see her.

203
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,036
And you think
I had something to do with that?

204
00:20:03,537 --> 00:20:05,873
I don't know what to think.

205
00:20:12,379 --> 00:20:13,797
No one knew she was going.

206
00:20:15,591 --> 00:20:18,426
Ask Alex. Ask anyone.

207
00:20:18,427 --> 00:20:22,431
I think your family can help get her out.
And I think I can help your family.

208
00:20:23,807 --> 00:20:29,020
Chip is looking into all of this,
and he's circling around the EPA report.

209
00:20:29,021 --> 00:20:31,398
But he doesn't know
that I have the real one.

210
00:20:32,983 --> 00:20:36,736
The one that proves that Martel is liable

211
00:20:36,737 --> 00:20:39,239
for all the things they did
to those people.

212
00:20:41,700 --> 00:20:46,246
And once Bradley is back,
you and your family can have the report.

213
00:20:49,708 --> 00:20:51,168
An insurance policy.

214
00:20:51,919 --> 00:20:53,712
Do whatever the fuck you want with it.

215
00:20:55,506 --> 00:20:58,257
My family, they can't wave a magic wand.

216
00:20:58,258 --> 00:21:00,010
They can do something.

217
00:21:05,224 --> 00:21:06,225
Maybe.

218
00:21:10,854 --> 00:21:11,980
I'll call them.

219
00:21:13,774 --> 00:21:14,775
For you.

220
00:21:20,239 --> 00:21:21,281
Cory...

221
00:21:27,704 --> 00:21:29,289
I know you feel alone.

222
00:21:30,415 --> 00:21:31,542
But I'm here.

223
00:21:32,668 --> 00:21:33,794
I'm with you.

224
00:21:40,676 --> 00:21:41,927
Come back to bed.

225
00:21:43,637 --> 00:21:44,680
All right?

226
00:21:57,234 --> 00:21:58,235
Hello?

227
00:22:05,617 --> 00:22:06,868
Bart.

228
00:22:06,869 --> 00:22:08,203
What are you doing here?

229
00:22:12,416 --> 00:22:13,834
Deepfake of Alex?

230
00:22:15,794 --> 00:22:19,047
You were there when the Iranians defected,
producing the segment.

231
00:22:20,757 --> 00:22:23,135
Then you accessed the AI software.

232
00:22:24,303 --> 00:22:25,304
Why?

233
00:22:27,890 --> 00:22:29,433
Who told you to do that?

234
00:22:32,477 --> 00:22:36,023
Tell me what you know
and I'll keep your name out of it.

235
00:22:49,745 --> 00:22:50,746
Mia...

236
00:23:07,513 --> 00:23:09,348
Ms... Ms. Levy?

237
00:23:11,433 --> 00:23:14,102
You lied to me. You fucking lied.

238
00:23:14,686 --> 00:23:17,021
The Iranians did not create that deepfake.

239
00:23:17,022 --> 00:23:18,189
You did.

240
00:23:18,190 --> 00:23:21,777
Do you know how much that fucked me up?

241
00:23:22,402 --> 00:23:25,154
You stole my voice. You used me.

242
00:23:25,155 --> 00:23:26,489
I don't even know
what you're talking about.

243
00:23:26,490 --> 00:23:30,243
You were going to use that video
to get me fired,

244
00:23:30,244 --> 00:23:31,911
and the only reason you didn't

245
00:23:31,912 --> 00:23:35,541
is because things got complicated
with Zeke and those protesters.

246
00:23:36,542 --> 00:23:37,792
My God, I'm starting to question

247
00:23:37,793 --> 00:23:40,920
every single thing you have done
since you got here.

248
00:23:40,921 --> 00:23:44,341
Preach sisterhood
and then you edge all of us out.

249
00:23:44,967 --> 00:23:47,052
Laura, me, Stella...

250
00:23:48,262 --> 00:23:50,305
So now you're blaming me
for her fuck-up too.

251
00:23:50,931 --> 00:23:53,517
I expect your resignation
by the end of today.

252
00:23:54,852 --> 00:23:57,938
Otherwise, I go to the board
and <i>The New York Times</i>.

253
00:24:00,816 --> 00:24:01,942
I'm sorry.

254
00:24:03,402 --> 00:24:06,113
I'm not resigning. You are.

255
00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:09,782
And why would I do that?

256
00:24:09,783 --> 00:24:12,870
Do you know how many laws you broke
when you went to the opera?

257
00:24:14,037 --> 00:24:17,915
You did business with a Russian oligarch
sanctioned by the US government.

258
00:24:17,916 --> 00:24:20,835
The FCC could shut us down
for a stunt like that.

259
00:24:20,836 --> 00:24:22,963
As an executive at this company,

260
00:24:23,714 --> 00:24:27,259
you acted against the well-being
of UBN and its shareholders.

261
00:24:29,261 --> 00:24:31,180
You have 24 hours to step down.

262
00:25:01,084 --> 00:25:02,335
She knows.

263
00:25:02,336 --> 00:25:06,631
Ivanov, the trade we were trying to make, everything.

264
00:25:06,632 --> 00:25:09,675
I should have never reached out to him.
I knew this could blow back on us.

265
00:25:09,676 --> 00:25:11,177
How the fuck did she find out?

266
00:25:11,178 --> 00:25:12,887
I don't know. I don't know.

267
00:25:12,888 --> 00:25:17,017
She just told me that I have 24 hours
to resign or she's gonna call the feds.

268
00:25:18,060 --> 00:25:19,311
Alex, that cannot happen.

269
00:25:19,811 --> 00:25:22,856
- Nobody can find out about this.
- I know that, I know.

270
00:25:23,649 --> 00:25:24,942
Bradley. What about Bradley?

271
00:25:25,901 --> 00:25:28,403
State Department already
dragging its feet.

272
00:25:29,112 --> 00:25:33,824
Celine, she knew something like this
would completely compromise her case.

273
00:25:33,825 --> 00:25:35,452
Bradley fucking Jackson.

274
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,579
My God. Stuck in a fucking gulag
in Eastern Europe

275
00:25:38,580 --> 00:25:40,331
and she's still a human wrecking ball.

276
00:25:40,332 --> 00:25:43,585
I just can't... can't believe
this 22 years, this is how it ends.

277
00:25:44,169 --> 00:25:46,170
I worked so fucking hard for that place.

278
00:25:46,171 --> 00:25:48,382
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Listen to me.

279
00:25:49,925 --> 00:25:51,134
You stopped me.

280
00:25:52,135 --> 00:25:54,053
All right, I'm pretty sure
you can shut her down.

281
00:25:54,054 --> 00:25:56,430
Now, if she knows
about some off-book trade,

282
00:25:56,431 --> 00:25:59,892
then she's doing some backroom deals
of her own, which makes her vulnerable.

283
00:25:59,893 --> 00:26:01,936
- You're right.
- So dig.

284
00:26:01,937 --> 00:26:05,190
Find out where the bodies are buried.
Who knows her secrets?

285
00:26:15,409 --> 00:26:16,576
- Hi.
- Hi.

286
00:26:16,577 --> 00:26:19,453
So sorry to drop in like this.
I know you have so much going on.

287
00:26:19,454 --> 00:26:22,373
- It's actually not a good time.
- I'm sorry. But I can't wait, honestly.

288
00:26:22,374 --> 00:26:26,502
She wants me out.
Celine is forcing me out.

289
00:26:26,503 --> 00:26:29,463
I'm supposed to... to resign.
I'm supposed to step aside

290
00:26:29,464 --> 00:26:31,924
- like it's my fucking idea...
- Hey, can we talk about this tomorrow?

291
00:26:31,925 --> 00:26:33,259
...and I'm not gonna fucking do that.

292
00:26:33,260 --> 00:26:35,303
I know this has everything
to do with Bradley.

293
00:26:35,304 --> 00:26:37,930
I can't prove it, but I know it.

294
00:26:37,931 --> 00:26:42,727
And Cory, I know that you know her well,
so just give me some... some dirt on her.

295
00:26:42,728 --> 00:26:44,938
Come on. You traffic in this shit.

296
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,273
I don't care what it is. Insider trading.

297
00:26:47,274 --> 00:26:49,483
Tax evasion. I don't care.

298
00:26:49,484 --> 00:26:51,277
I just need something.

299
00:26:51,278 --> 00:26:52,863
Sorry I'm late.

300
00:26:57,951 --> 00:26:58,952
I had...

301
00:27:12,257 --> 00:27:14,092
Okay. Of course.

302
00:27:16,512 --> 00:27:17,513
I mean, just...

303
00:27:20,641 --> 00:27:21,934
Why wouldn't you?

304
00:27:36,031 --> 00:27:41,661
Alex, you have been the heart and soul of
this network now for so long.

305
00:27:41,662 --> 00:27:44,163
How does it feel to be saying goodbye?

306
00:27:44,164 --> 00:27:47,333
It honestly... bittersweet.

307
00:27:47,334 --> 00:27:52,129
You know, this place has been my... my home.
You guys are my family.

308
00:27:52,130 --> 00:27:55,967
Heck, I know. Well, we feel the same way.
We just... I mean, this is so sudden.

309
00:27:55,968 --> 00:27:58,177
Honestly, I just can't
quite believe it's happening at all.

310
00:27:58,178 --> 00:28:01,806
Yeah, I know. Well, it's...
it's something that I've been, you know,

311
00:28:01,807 --> 00:28:04,977
I've been thinking about for a while, so...

312
00:28:05,602 --> 00:28:06,853
Well, we're gonna miss you in Paris.

313
00:28:06,854 --> 00:28:09,105
That's for sure, right?

314
00:28:09,106 --> 00:28:14,152
Can you talk about your decision?
What brought you to this moment?

315
00:28:15,112 --> 00:28:17,613
Well, two years ago,

316
00:28:17,614 --> 00:28:21,784
I think we felt the company
needed to change,

317
00:28:21,785 --> 00:28:26,914
so I stayed through the merger
to help make UBN a place

318
00:28:26,915 --> 00:28:29,585
that we could be proud of, where...

319
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,257
there's real transparency.

320
00:28:36,258 --> 00:28:37,342
Real trust.

321
00:28:38,218 --> 00:28:39,928
And you feel we've achieved that.

322
00:28:44,016 --> 00:28:46,894
I do. Yes, I do.

323
00:28:48,228 --> 00:28:51,856
And you know my...
my best memories of this place,

324
00:28:51,857 --> 00:28:53,941
it's not ju... you know,
not just the fun times we had

325
00:28:53,942 --> 00:28:55,151
'cause we would have a lot of fun,

326
00:28:55,152 --> 00:28:59,322
but it's also the storms
that we weathered together, you know.

327
00:28:59,323 --> 00:29:02,659
And... Yeah, everybody said
that we would never make it,

328
00:29:03,744 --> 00:29:10,209
that legacy media was dead,
and real journalism doesn't matter.

329
00:29:11,710 --> 00:29:17,465
But it really does matter, right?
It matters more than ever.

330
00:29:17,466 --> 00:29:20,384
Well, you've absolutely been our...
our resident truth-teller.

331
00:29:20,385 --> 00:29:23,263
I mean, it's <i>Unfiltered</i>, you know.
Right there in the title of it.

332
00:29:41,949 --> 00:29:43,075
Miles.

333
00:29:44,409 --> 00:29:45,410
Celine.

334
00:29:50,541 --> 00:29:51,917
Why are you here?

335
00:29:53,085 --> 00:29:54,378
You haven't called.

336
00:29:55,337 --> 00:29:56,839
This is my home.

337
00:29:57,631 --> 00:30:00,008
- I live here.
- Well, not recently.

338
00:30:00,551 --> 00:30:01,718
I needed time to think.

339
00:30:03,470 --> 00:30:05,972
And what great revelation
did you have out there in the woods?

340
00:30:05,973 --> 00:30:08,725
That I wanted to come back,

341
00:30:09,685 --> 00:30:11,144
figure things out.

342
00:30:12,062 --> 00:30:14,982
But then, I found this.

343
00:30:18,402 --> 00:30:21,905
You were there at the studio without me.

344
00:30:24,741 --> 00:30:27,034
Please, Miles. After what you did--

345
00:30:27,035 --> 00:30:28,411
Who were you with?

346
00:30:28,412 --> 00:30:30,997
Do you understand I wasn't sure
I'd ever see you again?

347
00:30:30,998 --> 00:30:33,625
Celine, who was it?

348
00:30:45,929 --> 00:30:48,515
- Yep.
- <i>Ms. Levy, your father is here.</i>

349
00:30:52,227 --> 00:30:53,520
Send him up.

350
00:30:56,648 --> 00:30:58,149
Dad,

351
00:30:58,150 --> 00:31:00,318
I've just had such a long day.

352
00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:02,445
Don't worry. I won't stay long.

353
00:31:02,446 --> 00:31:06,366
I realize that
after our last brief encounter,

354
00:31:07,201 --> 00:31:09,453
I'm not the most welcome person here.

355
00:31:10,037 --> 00:31:13,039
I just don't have it in me for
another round of all of that, you know.

356
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,752
No, no, no. None of that. I think
we both said all we needed to say.

357
00:31:17,419 --> 00:31:19,171
No, it was just that I...

358
00:31:20,797 --> 00:31:22,508
Well, I saw your show today.

359
00:31:25,636 --> 00:31:28,931
Quite sudden, your decision to step away.

360
00:31:29,431 --> 00:31:33,101
It's funny that all of a sudden
now you take interest in my career.

361
00:31:33,769 --> 00:31:35,270
The day that it's over.

362
00:31:40,484 --> 00:31:43,445
Is this about losing the Biden interview?

363
00:31:44,446 --> 00:31:46,073
You know, no. It's just...

364
00:31:47,491 --> 00:31:49,116
It's just... it was time.

365
00:31:49,117 --> 00:31:50,536
I saw you at work.

366
00:31:51,036 --> 00:31:55,165
You were in your element,
utterly engaged with the task at hand.

367
00:31:56,959 --> 00:31:59,920
You didn't look like someone
with one foot out of the door.

368
00:32:00,712 --> 00:32:04,800
Heck, you reminded me of me
when I was your age.

369
00:32:06,718 --> 00:32:10,429
Your performance today might have
fooled America.

370
00:32:10,430 --> 00:32:12,682
But remember, I've been about a bit.

371
00:32:12,683 --> 00:32:15,853
I know the hallmarks
of a forced confession.

372
00:32:20,899 --> 00:32:22,734
Do you want to talk to me about it?

373
00:32:25,445 --> 00:32:27,072
It's such a long story.

374
00:32:27,781 --> 00:32:32,119
Well, that's the beauty
of a public disgrace.

375
00:32:33,829 --> 00:32:36,290
Suddenly all you have is time.

376
00:32:37,249 --> 00:32:39,959
Yeah, we gotta move
the production meeting up 'cause the...

377
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,171
What the... Fuck me. I'll call you back.

378
00:32:46,258 --> 00:32:48,301
- We need to talk.
- Miles, hi.

379
00:32:48,302 --> 00:32:49,386
Well, yeah.

380
00:32:50,721 --> 00:32:51,972
Come on in.

381
00:32:52,806 --> 00:32:55,933
Hey, Cory.
I should throw you out a fucking window!

382
00:32:55,934 --> 00:32:57,186
Please don't.

383
00:32:58,145 --> 00:32:59,520
What do you want with my wife?

384
00:32:59,521 --> 00:33:01,190
You know, we've got
a business arrangement.

385
00:33:02,191 --> 00:33:03,357
Is that what you're calling it?

386
00:33:03,358 --> 00:33:06,694
Your late-night coke binge
with a little fucking on the side.

387
00:33:06,695 --> 00:33:09,155
We have been
helping each other out a little bit.

388
00:33:09,156 --> 00:33:10,573
You sure as shit haven't been around.

389
00:33:10,574 --> 00:33:12,033
- How's Stella?
- Fuck you.

390
00:33:12,034 --> 00:33:14,285
You think she's on your side?
You think she's got your back?

391
00:33:14,286 --> 00:33:16,413
Like I said, we have an arrangement.

392
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,207
You have no idea, do you?
You can't see it.

393
00:33:19,208 --> 00:33:21,251
You're the fall guy, Cory.

394
00:33:21,793 --> 00:33:24,337
You always have been
ever since she made you Head of News.

395
00:33:24,338 --> 00:33:26,923
Buddy, you're talking about Wolf River?
I already know about this.

396
00:33:26,924 --> 00:33:28,841
And I should've known that
you knew about it too.

397
00:33:28,842 --> 00:33:30,801
You have no idea what you were part of.

398
00:33:30,802 --> 00:33:33,930
I think I do. I read the real EPA report.

399
00:33:33,931 --> 00:33:36,474
Parting gift from my mother. Remember her?

400
00:33:36,475 --> 00:33:38,518
She figured out that
Celine was gonna bury it,

401
00:33:38,519 --> 00:33:40,478
so she left me a copy.

402
00:33:40,479 --> 00:33:42,897
My own little get-out-of-jail-free card.

403
00:33:42,898 --> 00:33:46,235
You think...
You think Martha was a whistleblower?

404
00:33:47,569 --> 00:33:48,903
Cory.

405
00:33:48,904 --> 00:33:50,739
No, no. She was part of it.

406
00:33:51,615 --> 00:33:53,241
She brokered the deal with Celine.

407
00:33:53,242 --> 00:33:55,201
Miles, you don't know
what the fuck you're talking about.

408
00:33:55,202 --> 00:33:59,248
No, no. Yes, yes.
Your mom buried the original report.

409
00:33:59,915 --> 00:34:02,625
And she had some friends over
at the EPA and she gave them a call.

410
00:34:02,626 --> 00:34:05,127
And she paid them to doctor the numbers.

411
00:34:05,128 --> 00:34:06,921
Now why the fuck would she do that?

412
00:34:06,922 --> 00:34:08,296
For you.

413
00:34:08,297 --> 00:34:11,008
Because you were spiraling in LA,

414
00:34:11,009 --> 00:34:13,468
and Celine went to her
and promised to get you out

415
00:34:13,469 --> 00:34:18,140
and get you a big old fancy job
in New York City, Head of News.

416
00:34:18,141 --> 00:34:23,437
And Martha let you believe
that it was all you.

417
00:34:23,438 --> 00:34:25,273
Cory Ellison, boy genius.

418
00:34:25,274 --> 00:34:27,860
The brilliant son with the bright future.

419
00:34:30,027 --> 00:34:31,905
Stay away from my fucking wife.

420
00:34:46,628 --> 00:34:50,507
Even if I wanted to fight back,
she has all the leverage.

421
00:34:51,175 --> 00:34:54,386
I can't use the deepfake.
Bart won't go on the record.

422
00:34:55,094 --> 00:34:58,390
I mean, we can still, you know,
pass it off to another journalist.

423
00:34:59,391 --> 00:35:00,850
Laura Peterson.

424
00:35:00,851 --> 00:35:03,060
She called me to see
if she could do anything to help.

425
00:35:03,061 --> 00:35:05,855
I don't know about that. Given their
history, it might get a little muddy.

426
00:35:05,856 --> 00:35:07,191
Why don't you do it?

427
00:35:07,816 --> 00:35:10,277
You don't work for the company,
you haven't signed an NDA.

428
00:35:10,777 --> 00:35:13,446
Yeah, that sounds great, Martin.
Why don't you just throw me to the sharks

429
00:35:13,447 --> 00:35:14,906
- like a bucket of chum?
- Chip...

430
00:35:14,907 --> 00:35:16,200
Yeah.

431
00:35:16,867 --> 00:35:19,202
Look, Celine knows that
I've been working with Bradley.

432
00:35:19,203 --> 00:35:21,412
If I take a run at her,
she's gonna turn around and sue me,

433
00:35:21,413 --> 00:35:24,457
and then all of a sudden her attorneys
have access to all the information

434
00:35:24,458 --> 00:35:27,126
that Bradley sent over, including where
to find the whistleblowers.

435
00:35:27,127 --> 00:35:29,337
We can't do that.
They can't see our playbook.

436
00:35:29,338 --> 00:35:31,507
But we want to see their playbook.

437
00:35:32,216 --> 00:35:35,219
That's why you should sue her first,
beat her to the punch.

438
00:35:36,970 --> 00:35:39,056
A lawsuit will mean document production.

439
00:35:39,765 --> 00:35:42,892
Something embarrassing to them
might just slip through the cracks.

440
00:35:42,893 --> 00:35:44,435
You're looking for a smoking gun.

441
00:35:44,436 --> 00:35:45,604
Okay, so hold on.

442
00:35:46,271 --> 00:35:50,483
So you're saying that I should sue Celine
and UBN for wrongful termination.

443
00:35:50,484 --> 00:35:55,738
Yeah. Break your NDA, force their hand,
and see what comes out in the wash.

444
00:35:55,739 --> 00:35:58,699
If I do that, it's war.
I mean, it's full-on war.

445
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:00,993
Yeah, she'll come for you.
There'll be casualties.

446
00:36:00,994 --> 00:36:02,995
Yes, of course
there are gonna be casualties.

447
00:36:02,996 --> 00:36:04,789
Look what happened to the lawyer
in Wolf River.

448
00:36:04,790 --> 00:36:06,541
They completely destroyed his life.

449
00:36:06,542 --> 00:36:08,125
- Chip, I...
- Alex, hold on a second.

450
00:36:08,126 --> 00:36:10,878
Listen to me, okay?
There are calculated risks.

451
00:36:10,879 --> 00:36:13,047
And then there are just suicide missions.

452
00:36:13,048 --> 00:36:15,341
The minute that you sue Celine,

453
00:36:15,342 --> 00:36:17,635
you put yourself
right in the fucking crosshairs.

454
00:36:17,636 --> 00:36:19,470
- And then once her family gets involved--
- So what?

455
00:36:19,471 --> 00:36:22,098
You're just saying that I don't say
a word. Just let her win. That's it.

456
00:36:22,099 --> 00:36:23,516
- Story over.
- Okay.

457
00:36:23,517 --> 00:36:25,394
- Well...
- Listen, Dad.

458
00:36:26,144 --> 00:36:27,646
You're the lawyer in the room.

459
00:36:28,230 --> 00:36:29,480
What would you do?

460
00:36:29,481 --> 00:36:33,234
If you sue her first,
then you start with the advantage.

461
00:36:33,235 --> 00:36:37,531
You catch her unawares.
She's got no idea you're coming for her.

462
00:37:01,263 --> 00:37:02,388
Yeah, who the fuck is this?

463
00:37:02,389 --> 00:37:04,432
<i>Mr. Ellison,
it's Max Kimmel from</i> The Vault.

464
00:37:04,433 --> 00:37:06,851
<i>I'm calling about Alex Levy's resignation.</i>

465
00:37:06,852 --> 00:37:08,686
No, I don't have any comment about that.

466
00:37:08,687 --> 00:37:11,898
<i>I'm hearing a rumor
she's holding a press conference today.</i>

467
00:37:11,899 --> 00:37:14,359
<i>Some big revelation
about why she left UBN.</i>

468
00:37:15,110 --> 00:37:16,445
<i>You know anything about that?</i>

469
00:37:17,654 --> 00:37:19,865
<i>Mr. Ellison? Hello?</i>

470
00:37:26,121 --> 00:37:28,080
- Hey.
- Gotta be kidding me.

471
00:37:28,081 --> 00:37:29,832
- Alex, just hold on.
- Honestly. Cory, just move,

472
00:37:29,833 --> 00:37:32,001
or I'm gonna take you outside
and throw you in front of a fucking bus.

473
00:37:32,002 --> 00:37:35,713
A press conference?
Are you out of your fucking mind?

474
00:37:35,714 --> 00:37:38,966
You don't take Celine Dumont
head on in public.

475
00:37:38,967 --> 00:37:42,178
Imagine... She's gonna turn over every rock,
everything that you've ever done,

476
00:37:42,179 --> 00:37:43,888
everything... everything that hurts.

477
00:37:43,889 --> 00:37:47,808
Everyone that you have ever fucked,
everyone you've ever fucked over.

478
00:37:47,809 --> 00:37:49,977
Bringing Bradley back after January 6th?

479
00:37:49,978 --> 00:37:53,022
That's coming out too.
And when it does, yeah, trust me,

480
00:37:53,023 --> 00:37:55,942
no one will believe a word that comes out
of your mouth ever again.

481
00:37:55,943 --> 00:37:58,152
You will be a punch line
on late-night television,

482
00:37:58,153 --> 00:37:59,696
and then you're gonna disappear.

483
00:38:00,197 --> 00:38:01,531
So be it.

484
00:38:01,532 --> 00:38:02,658
Oh, my...

485
00:38:04,535 --> 00:38:05,535
Alex, I swear to God,

486
00:38:05,536 --> 00:38:07,161
I'm trying to protect you. And Bradley.

487
00:38:07,162 --> 00:38:09,747
Is it? Is that why...
Is that why you're sleeping with Celine

488
00:38:09,748 --> 00:38:13,084
- while she's in a fucking prison cell?
- This is not how you do it.

489
00:38:13,085 --> 00:38:15,711
It actually is. This is how I do it.

490
00:38:15,712 --> 00:38:18,798
And you're right. I am gonna fuck up
my entire life but I don't give a shit.

491
00:38:18,799 --> 00:38:21,592
I don't care.
I'm not gonna stand around and do nothing.

492
00:38:21,593 --> 00:38:24,470
I'm gonna prove
that story that she's after is real.

493
00:38:24,471 --> 00:38:28,641
And then maybe someone will finally
give a shit and get her ass out of there.

494
00:38:28,642 --> 00:38:30,018
Fucking chicken.

495
00:38:32,229 --> 00:38:34,522
<i>President Biden is facing
increasing pressure to drop out</i>

496
00:38:34,523 --> 00:38:36,148
- <i>of the presidential race after...</i>
- Ready.

497
00:38:36,149 --> 00:38:38,609
- Slow push-in on Yanko.
- <i>...his widely panned debate performance.</i>

498
00:38:38,610 --> 00:38:39,902
- Nice. Good.
- <i>Senior Democrats,</i>

499
00:38:39,903 --> 00:38:42,029
<i>at first reticent to criticize
the president have begun</i>

500
00:38:42,030 --> 00:38:43,948
<i>to let their skepticism be known.</i>

501
00:38:43,949 --> 00:38:47,618
<i>If Biden does withdraw, it will be an
unprecedented move by a sitting president,</i>

502
00:38:47,619 --> 00:38:50,080
<i>especially with the election
just months away.</i>

503
00:38:51,331 --> 00:38:53,458
Hey. You seen this?

504
00:38:54,042 --> 00:38:56,086
Chip is live streaming at the courthouse.

505
00:38:57,004 --> 00:38:58,296
Wait. Is this about Alex?

506
00:38:58,297 --> 00:39:01,424
Channing Tatum is stuck in traffic.
We're gonna have to float the segment.

507
00:39:01,425 --> 00:39:04,427
See if he'll reschedule till Monday
and run the package on Project RattleCam.

508
00:39:04,428 --> 00:39:06,053
- Okay.
- We need to get this up on the monitor.

509
00:39:06,054 --> 00:39:07,347
Yep.

510
00:39:08,098 --> 00:39:10,933
Yesterday, I went on <i>The Morning Show</i>

511
00:39:10,934 --> 00:39:14,062
to announce that
I had decided to step away from UBN.

512
00:39:15,439 --> 00:39:16,440
That was a lie.

513
00:39:17,733 --> 00:39:23,988
The truth is I was forced out
by acting CEO Celine Dumont,

514
00:39:23,989 --> 00:39:25,823
who is trying to shut down a story

515
00:39:25,824 --> 00:39:29,827
that implicates her in a cover-up
at the network.

516
00:39:29,828 --> 00:39:32,955
A story that
Bradley Jackson was investigating

517
00:39:32,956 --> 00:39:37,376
when she was detained overseas
about a chemical company's efforts

518
00:39:37,377 --> 00:39:41,422
<i>to hide the lethal impact
of its toxic emissions.</i>

519
00:39:41,423 --> 00:39:45,343
<i>And that is why today we are filing
a wrongful termination lawsuit</i>

520
00:39:45,344 --> 00:39:48,221
<i>against Celine Dumont and UBN</i>

521
00:39:48,222 --> 00:39:53,392
<i>for blocking Alex Levy's efforts
to expose their own criminal wrongdoing.</i>

522
00:39:53,393 --> 00:39:55,478
To paraphrase George Orwell,

523
00:39:55,479 --> 00:39:58,481
"Journalism is printing what someone else
doesn't want printed."

524
00:39:58,482 --> 00:40:02,986
In this case, that someone is
Alexandra Levy's former employer.

525
00:40:03,570 --> 00:40:05,821
What's going on?
Alex is down at the courthouse?

526
00:40:05,822 --> 00:40:07,865
Yeah, and she's declaring war.

527
00:40:07,866 --> 00:40:12,453
<i>...to buy off employees and
to silence anyone who dares to push back.</i>

528
00:40:12,454 --> 00:40:14,622
- Holy shit.
- Does anybody know something about this?

529
00:40:14,623 --> 00:40:15,706
No fucking clue.

530
00:40:15,707 --> 00:40:17,291
I just knew that goodbye segment
was bullshit.

531
00:40:17,292 --> 00:40:19,460
- <i>With all due respect, Alex...</i>
- We should run this.

532
00:40:19,461 --> 00:40:21,379
<i>...you have a long history
of hiding unflattering truths.</i>

533
00:40:21,380 --> 00:40:25,008
<i>One day you're having a kumbaya moment
on morning television, and less than...</i>

534
00:40:27,010 --> 00:40:28,386
I'm about to step into a meeting.

535
00:40:28,387 --> 00:40:31,264
<i>Are you seeing this? Alex is down
at the courthouse. She's filing a lawsuit.</i>

536
00:40:31,265 --> 00:40:32,723
<i>I'm sending you a link.</i>

537
00:40:32,724 --> 00:40:33,809
What?

538
00:40:40,941 --> 00:40:45,862
<i>The lawsuit will prove our claim that
Ms. Dumont is criminally compromised,</i>

539
00:40:45,863 --> 00:40:49,156
<i>and therefore unfit
to run a news organization.</i>

540
00:40:49,157 --> 00:40:50,241
<i>Oh, putain.</i>

541
00:40:50,242 --> 00:40:51,868
Celine, what is going on?

542
00:40:51,869 --> 00:40:54,120
<i>...to what happened in O24?
Is Stella Bak involved?</i>

543
00:40:54,121 --> 00:40:56,038
We should cover this, at least on digital.

544
00:40:56,039 --> 00:40:59,834
Absolutely not. She's spreading lies
about the network. She's out of her mind.

545
00:40:59,835 --> 00:41:02,044
<i>How much are you suing for?
Is this just a cash grab</i>?

546
00:41:02,045 --> 00:41:04,172
<i>This is about Celine Dumont's efforts</i>

547
00:41:04,173 --> 00:41:06,924
<i>to protect
her family's corporate interests,</i>

548
00:41:06,925 --> 00:41:09,720
<i>to use UBN as a propaganda arm.</i>

549
00:41:10,554 --> 00:41:13,055
- <i>Well, let's be honest, if...</i>
- We're going to continue

550
00:41:13,056 --> 00:41:14,974
with the scheduled programming.

551
00:41:14,975 --> 00:41:16,476
So we just do nothing?

552
00:41:17,269 --> 00:41:19,687
Other networks are running this.
This is news.

553
00:41:19,688 --> 00:41:22,607
Mia. She's defaming Celine.
She's defaming the network.

554
00:41:22,608 --> 00:41:25,193
We are days away from the Olympics. I...

555
00:41:25,194 --> 00:41:28,237
This is going to stick to you too.
You know that, right?

556
00:41:28,238 --> 00:41:30,156
<i>...the entire network to Ms. Dumont.</i>

557
00:41:30,157 --> 00:41:32,658
- <i>This isn't about the cover-up?</i>
- You've gotta run this.

558
00:41:32,659 --> 00:41:34,327
<i>It's a palace coup.</i>

559
00:41:34,328 --> 00:41:37,747
<i>It's both.
And Ms. Dumont is the insurrectionist.</i>

560
00:41:37,748 --> 00:41:40,541
<i>From what I can see,
Alex is the one tossing bombs.</i>

561
00:41:40,542 --> 00:41:42,001
<i>What is the real endgame here?</i>

562
00:41:42,002 --> 00:41:43,794
Get a crew down there now.

563
00:41:43,795 --> 00:41:46,088
Jamal, cue up Chip's feed.
Can we break now?

564
00:41:46,089 --> 00:41:48,424
- Yeah, in about 20 seconds.
- I need a crew live at the courthouse.

565
00:41:48,425 --> 00:41:50,009
- You need to update the rundown.
- Right now.

566
00:41:50,010 --> 00:41:53,597
Yanko and Chris, we're cutting
to commercial early. It's breaking news.

567
00:41:57,059 --> 00:42:00,395
<i>We're going live now to the
Supreme Court building on Center Street...</i>

568
00:42:02,272 --> 00:42:05,733
- Arnaud, I've got this.
- Do you? You said this was handled.

569
00:42:05,734 --> 00:42:07,235
And there's Alex. Talking.

570
00:42:07,236 --> 00:42:09,153
<i>No one's going to take her seriously.</i>

571
00:42:09,154 --> 00:42:10,488
You sure about that?

572
00:42:10,489 --> 00:42:13,200
'Cause she's live
on your own fucking network.

573
00:42:19,414 --> 00:42:22,375
<i>And I understand my credibility
is in question.</i>

574
00:42:22,376 --> 00:42:24,502
<i>And I fully expect Celine Dumont</i>

575
00:42:24,503 --> 00:42:25,920
<i>to do everything to discredit me.</i>

576
00:42:25,921 --> 00:42:28,589
Hey, are you seeing the spectacle
Alex is making of herself?

577
00:42:28,590 --> 00:42:31,592
Yes, and we need to kill this now.
Where are you?

578
00:42:31,593 --> 00:42:33,344
I'm here. I'm at the courthouse.

579
00:42:33,345 --> 00:42:35,806
<i>You know that everything goes away
if you can't stop her.</i>

580
00:42:36,390 --> 00:42:39,141
You, me, our future, all of it.

581
00:42:39,142 --> 00:42:41,060
<i>I know, I know. Hey, Celine.</i>

582
00:42:41,061 --> 00:42:43,938
I just want you to know that,
the last few weeks,

583
00:42:43,939 --> 00:42:45,315
I wouldn't have made it without you.

584
00:42:47,276 --> 00:42:48,485
It was for us.

585
00:42:48,986 --> 00:42:51,780
We're so close. We're so close, Cory.

586
00:42:52,489 --> 00:42:54,574
- Holy shit.
- A former employee at the network

587
00:42:54,575 --> 00:42:57,243
- was chasing down an informant...
- I'm here. It's a fucking circus.

588
00:42:57,244 --> 00:43:01,163
I told her not to push back.
I gave her a way out.

589
00:43:01,164 --> 00:43:03,791
<i>It's not the first time that she's crossed
the line when it comes to Bradley.</i>

590
00:43:03,792 --> 00:43:05,126
<i>It's her pressure point.</i>

591
00:43:05,127 --> 00:43:07,170
- Okay.
- <i>It's how we're gonna shut her down.</i>

592
00:43:07,171 --> 00:43:13,092
Tell her if she doesn't stop,
Bradley will never come back home.

593
00:43:13,093 --> 00:43:15,887
<i>Celine, can you tell me that again?
I can't hear you.</i>

594
00:43:15,888 --> 00:43:17,889
Tell her if she doesn't stop,

595
00:43:17,890 --> 00:43:21,851
I will find a way to keep Bradley
in Belarus forever!

596
00:43:21,852 --> 00:43:23,854
Tell her if she doesn't...

597
00:43:26,190 --> 00:43:27,524
Hello?

598
00:43:28,108 --> 00:43:29,276
Are you there?

599
00:43:33,113 --> 00:43:34,281
<i>We're all listening.</i>

600
00:43:35,115 --> 00:43:36,116
<i>Go on.</i>

601
00:43:37,951 --> 00:43:40,119
- Oh, fuck.
- What the fuck?

602
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:41,579
What the fuck?

603
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:43,080
<i>She was making these threats...</i>

604
00:43:43,081 --> 00:43:44,583
What exactly is she trying to cover up?

605
00:43:50,005 --> 00:43:52,381
<i>I'm gonna prove
that story that she's after is real.</i>

606
00:43:52,382 --> 00:43:55,510
<i>And then maybe someone will finally
give a shit and get her ass out of there.</i>

607
00:43:55,511 --> 00:43:57,095
And what if you can't find it?

608
00:43:59,806 --> 00:44:01,808
Wait. What does that mean?

609
00:44:09,024 --> 00:44:10,150
You won't win.

610
00:44:11,610 --> 00:44:14,988
You won't find what you need
to take Celine down.

611
00:44:18,992 --> 00:44:20,202
How do you know that?

612
00:44:20,869 --> 00:44:22,746
I think I maybe killed my mom.

613
00:44:23,288 --> 00:44:24,373
What?

614
00:44:24,998 --> 00:44:26,124
Cory.

615
00:44:27,543 --> 00:44:29,211
<i>She gave me something.</i>

616
00:44:30,712 --> 00:44:32,005
<i>She sold her soul for it</i>

617
00:44:33,382 --> 00:44:35,759
<i>and gave it to me.</i>

618
00:44:40,305 --> 00:44:42,266
Does it have to do with Bradley?

619
00:44:43,267 --> 00:44:44,393
Wolf River?

620
00:44:47,521 --> 00:44:49,772
<i>She tried to tell me about it
before she died,</i>

621
00:44:49,773 --> 00:44:51,149
<i>I shut her down.</i>

622
00:44:54,653 --> 00:44:57,072
I think maybe she just couldn't face me.

623
00:44:58,949 --> 00:45:00,492
I think that's why she did it.

624
00:45:03,161 --> 00:45:06,373
<i>Or maybe she gave it to you</i>

625
00:45:07,541 --> 00:45:09,710
so you would do what she couldn't.

626
00:45:19,511 --> 00:45:21,596
<i>Tell her if she doesn't stop,</i>

627
00:45:21,597 --> 00:45:25,433
<i>I will find a way
to keep Bradley in Belarus forever!</i>

628
00:45:25,434 --> 00:45:27,477
Tell her if she doesn't...

629
00:45:29,813 --> 00:45:31,147
Hello?

630
00:45:31,148 --> 00:45:32,607
<i>Are you there?</i>

631
00:45:32,608 --> 00:45:33,942
We're all listening.

632
00:45:34,735 --> 00:45:35,777
Go on.

633
00:45:37,070 --> 00:45:39,155
<i>Well, I guess you all heard.</i>

634
00:45:39,156 --> 00:45:41,657
<i>Celine Dumont will do anything
to shut this story down.</i>

635
00:45:41,658 --> 00:45:42,867
- Ms. Dumont.
- Get out.

636
00:45:42,868 --> 00:45:44,285
- The board is--
- Get out!

637
00:45:44,286 --> 00:45:45,870
<i>Why is Ms. Dumont making these threats?</i>

638
00:45:45,871 --> 00:45:47,622
<i>What exactly is she trying to cover up?</i>

639
00:45:47,623 --> 00:45:50,917
<i>We have strong evidence that
Ms. Dumont offered bribes...</i>

640
00:45:50,918 --> 00:45:52,627
We need to leak the Ivanov story.

641
00:45:52,628 --> 00:45:56,672
<i>Alex asking favors of oligarchs.
That will get us out of this mess.</i>

642
00:45:56,673 --> 00:45:58,008
I warned you, Celine!

643
00:45:58,509 --> 00:45:59,717
I told you to stop!

644
00:45:59,718 --> 00:46:01,845
- I'm coming.
- <i>You've totally fucked us.</i>

645
00:46:26,245 --> 00:46:27,995
<i>So this cover-up you're alleging,</i>

646
00:46:27,996 --> 00:46:30,498
<i>you're saying Dumont worked directly
with the EPA?</i>

647
00:46:30,499 --> 00:46:32,792
No, not... not exactly.

648
00:46:32,793 --> 00:46:35,128
So, this is all just speculation?

649
00:46:38,924 --> 00:46:41,093
No. No, it's not.

650
00:46:41,927 --> 00:46:44,929
The deal was brokered
by lobbyist Martha Ellison,

651
00:46:44,930 --> 00:46:46,849
who kept a copy of the report.

652
00:46:47,641 --> 00:46:50,477
She then gave it to her son, Cory Ellison,

653
00:46:51,019 --> 00:46:55,023
who has chosen to step forward in
the interest of the victims of Wolf River

654
00:46:55,774 --> 00:46:57,818
and in support of Bradley Jackson.

655
00:47:14,877 --> 00:47:18,504
<i>As UBN prepares to host the
Paris Summer Games, there's no word yet</i>

656
00:47:18,505 --> 00:47:22,592
<i>on who will lead the company following
the departure of Celine Dumont.</i>

657
00:47:22,593 --> 00:47:26,470
<i>The board is expected to choose
an interim CEO within the next few weeks.</i>

658
00:47:26,471 --> 00:47:30,057
<i>And as always,
we're thinking of Bradley Jackson.</i>

659
00:47:30,058 --> 00:47:33,270
<i>It's day 35 of her detainment in Belarus.</i>

660
00:47:43,655 --> 00:47:44,948
Thought you'd be in Paris.

661
00:47:45,449 --> 00:47:46,575
No...

662
00:47:47,409 --> 00:47:49,703
I'm on the red-eye tonight.

663
00:47:50,704 --> 00:47:54,540
We should grab dinner when you get there,
talk about Chris's development slate.

664
00:47:54,541 --> 00:47:57,793
Yeah, I know this great restaurant
in the 3rd arrondissement.

665
00:47:57,794 --> 00:48:00,464
Plastic tablecloths, judgy waiters.

666
00:48:01,340 --> 00:48:02,633
You'll love it.

667
00:48:04,384 --> 00:48:06,303
Well, now that Celine is out,

668
00:48:06,803 --> 00:48:09,430
just gonna be you and me
keeping this place afloat.

669
00:48:09,431 --> 00:48:12,100
Yep. You and me, once again.

670
00:48:12,726 --> 00:48:13,894
I'll see you in Paris.

671
00:48:42,464 --> 00:48:46,343
<i>Miles, forgive me for leaving
without saying goodbye.</i>

672
00:48:48,637 --> 00:48:50,305
<i>I thought it might be easier,</i>

673
00:48:51,390 --> 00:48:53,015
<i>for both of us.</i>

674
00:48:53,016 --> 00:48:55,644
Dad said he'll meet you
at the Cap-Ferrat house.

675
00:48:56,687 --> 00:48:58,062
- Not at the office?
- No.

676
00:48:58,063 --> 00:48:59,272
It's crawling with lawyers,

677
00:48:59,273 --> 00:49:00,858
as you can imagine.

678
00:49:03,193 --> 00:49:04,527
- Is there a problem?
- No.

679
00:49:04,528 --> 00:49:05,821
No problem.

680
00:49:08,365 --> 00:49:11,451
<i>My father will make me the scapegoat
for all of this.</i>

681
00:49:12,578 --> 00:49:17,040
<i>He'll throw me to the wolves
and watch them devour me.</i>

682
00:49:23,213 --> 00:49:24,339
Alex?

683
00:49:24,923 --> 00:49:26,341
Yes, I'm in the kitchen.

684
00:49:26,967 --> 00:49:30,053
- I'm just heading out. What's going on?
- Hey. I just...

685
00:49:31,555 --> 00:49:34,641
I would just feel better if I knew exactly
what you are walking into.

686
00:49:35,434 --> 00:49:37,185
I'm fine. I'll figure it out.

687
00:49:37,186 --> 00:49:38,895
And what if this thing falls apart?

688
00:49:38,896 --> 00:49:40,814
It won't. It's not gonna fall apart.

689
00:49:41,815 --> 00:49:43,400
You still haven't spoken to Bradley?

690
00:49:45,319 --> 00:49:48,070
- No, not directly.
- And no one has laid eyes on her?

691
00:49:48,071 --> 00:49:49,614
- No.
- Alex, Alex...

692
00:49:49,615 --> 00:49:51,032
I could come with you.

693
00:49:51,033 --> 00:49:53,451
I could come with you,
I could be there on the ground

694
00:49:53,452 --> 00:49:55,913
in case this thing goes sideways.

695
00:49:57,039 --> 00:49:59,248
Given that
the feds are basically hands-off--

696
00:49:59,249 --> 00:50:02,502
Listen. I really appreciate the offer,
but you have done plenty.

697
00:50:02,503 --> 00:50:04,795
Really. This is on me now.

698
00:50:04,796 --> 00:50:08,008
And I'm not... I'm not going to leave
that airport without her. I'm not.

699
00:50:10,469 --> 00:50:12,638
It's the coming back part that
I'm worried about.

700
00:50:17,226 --> 00:50:20,061
You afraid I'm gonna steal the keys
to your GV and move to Bali?

701
00:50:20,062 --> 00:50:21,145
Yeah. Right.

702
00:50:21,146 --> 00:50:22,605
But then who would drag me

703
00:50:22,606 --> 00:50:25,983
into these highly
compromising international incidents?

704
00:50:25,984 --> 00:50:28,362
Yeah, I think I've been enough of a pain.

705
00:50:31,156 --> 00:50:32,866
Well, I'm developing a tolerance.

706
00:50:41,542 --> 00:50:42,835
I gotta go.

707
00:50:54,096 --> 00:50:56,932
I owe you for all of this.

708
00:51:05,357 --> 00:51:06,441
Let's call it even.

709
00:51:10,404 --> 00:51:11,697
Yeah. Okay.

710
00:51:59,745 --> 00:52:02,122
All set. The security team
is letting us run this.

711
00:52:02,789 --> 00:52:04,041
- It's time.
- Okay.

712
00:53:21,785 --> 00:53:23,786
It's okay, I got you. I got you.

713
00:53:23,787 --> 00:53:25,539
Thank you for coming to get me.

714
00:53:27,165 --> 00:53:28,958
I'm sorry I fucked it all up.

715
00:53:28,959 --> 00:53:30,668
No, you didn't.

716
00:53:30,669 --> 00:53:33,296
I was wrong. The story's out there.

717
00:53:33,297 --> 00:53:34,506
You don't understand.

718
00:53:35,090 --> 00:53:36,633
You changed everything.

719
00:53:37,509 --> 00:53:38,634
- I did?
- Yes.

720
00:53:38,635 --> 00:53:40,512
Let's get you home.

721
00:53:44,266 --> 00:53:45,350
You're okay.
