2
00:01:16,034 --> 00:01:19,913
Oh, God. Fred, what happened?
3
00:01:24,877 --> 00:01:26,086
So, that's it?
4
00:01:28,005 --> 00:01:32,301
Motherfuck, we're destroyed.
5
00:01:34,553 --> 00:01:35,721
No, I'll tell him.
6
00:01:57,868 --> 00:01:59,703
Someone better be dead, buddy.
7
00:02:31,193 --> 00:02:32,194
Mm-mmm.
8
00:03:28,125 --> 00:03:29,296
Shit.
9
00:03:47,394 --> 00:03:49,898
Following that, you'll
interview Gerard Thompson,
10
00:03:49,901 --> 00:03:51,527
Art Department at Vanderbilt, to discuss
11
00:03:51,528 --> 00:03:54,148
a recently resurfaced Van Gogh.
12
00:03:54,151 --> 00:03:56,443
I'm scheduling an hour to go
over your speech for Friday night.
13
00:03:56,445 --> 00:03:58,075
I think it's gonna run over though.
14
00:03:58,076 --> 00:03:59,697
I'm gonna push your
drinks with Jane Fonda.
15
00:03:59,699 --> 00:04:00,927
Next up, you'll interview
16
00:04:00,929 --> 00:04:03,408
the senator to discuss
her book on policy-making
17
00:04:03,410 --> 00:04:04,492
and why it's broken.
18
00:04:04,494 --> 00:04:06,953
You need to do your final
fitting for your gown for Friday.
19
00:04:06,955 --> 00:04:09,225
They're gonna bring
it to the studio today.
20
00:04:09,228 --> 00:04:11,855
And if you ever want the
senator on the show again...
21
00:04:12,669 --> 00:04:15,086
You have a parent-teacher night
at Lizzy's school next week.
22
00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:17,296
Chip's trying to get ahold
of you. Something urgent.
23
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:52,793
Oh, my God.
24
00:04:53,752 --> 00:04:54,835
Who died?
25
00:05:08,892 --> 00:05:10,809
Oh, my God. Jesus,
would you turn this off?
26
00:05:11,896 --> 00:05:14,443
He's been singing about the same
fucking plane crash the past 50 years.
27
00:05:14,445 --> 00:05:16,398
Everybody's still dead. Time to move on.
28
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,941
- Am I right, Joe?
- Yep.
29
00:05:17,943 --> 00:05:19,957
Hey, watch the bumps.
I'm doing my eyeliner.
30
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,027
I'm...
31
00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:23,530
And, Alan, what is this
anyway? What is this bullshit?
32
00:05:23,532 --> 00:05:25,532
What exactly is bullshit
this time? What is it?
33
00:05:25,534 --> 00:05:27,508
This stupid idea that
we're gonna convince
34
00:05:27,511 --> 00:05:29,160
the world's coal-fired power plants
35
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:31,121
to invest in carbon
capture without linkage.
36
00:05:31,123 --> 00:05:33,582
Oh, my God, Jesus. Can we please
not have this linkage debate again?
37
00:05:33,584 --> 00:05:34,666
- What?
- It's not about linkage.
38
00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:36,209
This is about a protest
and how the town is divided.
39
00:05:36,211 --> 00:05:37,586
- That's what this is about.
- Yes, I know.
40
00:05:37,588 --> 00:05:39,045
Who went through all the burgers?
41
00:05:39,047 --> 00:05:41,006
- No.
- Here, Joe. Have my french fries.
42
00:05:41,008 --> 00:05:42,424
- Thank you.
- They're cold, but don't complain.
43
00:05:42,426 --> 00:05:44,050
How many burgers did you eat, Joe?
44
00:05:44,052 --> 00:05:46,803
By the way, okay, so we're gonna
talk about how the town's divided.
45
00:05:46,805 --> 00:05:49,931
But we're also gonna slip in
how safe carbon capture is.
46
00:05:49,933 --> 00:05:51,016
Mm-hmm.
47
00:05:51,018 --> 00:05:53,101
What? You put it in the copy.
48
00:05:53,103 --> 00:05:55,478
This is not my agenda, Bradley, okay?
49
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,130
I'm just a liberal Harvard longhair
who cut his hair short for this job.
50
00:05:58,132 --> 00:05:59,733
This is a stepping-stone
for me. I play by the rules.
51
00:05:59,735 --> 00:06:01,693
The truth is the truth, whether
you're writing for The Bumfuck Gazette
52
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:02,861
- or The New York Times.
- Shit.
53
00:06:02,863 --> 00:06:04,112
- I hope we made the right turn.
- By the way,
54
00:06:04,114 --> 00:06:05,557
that was an award-worthy shoehorning
55
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,073
of the word "Harvard"
into the conversation.
56
00:06:07,075 --> 00:06:08,408
Okay, you guys, can we please...
57
00:06:08,410 --> 00:06:10,178
I swear, Joe. Everybody who's ever been
58
00:06:10,181 --> 00:06:12,078
to Harvard can make
an entire conversation
59
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,289
out of the word "Harvard," like,
"Harvard, Harvard, Harvard?"
60
00:06:14,291 --> 00:06:16,374
Harvard, Harvard, Harvard.
61
00:06:16,376 --> 00:06:18,585
Are we gonna keep doing this?
How long is this gonna go on for?
62
00:06:18,587 --> 00:06:21,922
Holy shit. Mitch Kessler just
got fired off The Morning Show.
63
00:06:21,924 --> 00:06:23,840
- What?
- Wait, what? What the hell happened?
64
00:06:23,842 --> 00:06:25,466
Let me see.
65
00:06:25,469 --> 00:06:28,053
One less idiot to peddle
soft news to the masses.
66
00:06:28,055 --> 00:06:30,513
Prior to being named
coanchor of The Morning Show,
67
00:06:30,516 --> 00:06:33,517
the fallen Kessler was a
fixture of UBA's news division,
68
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:35,769
serving as UBA's White
House correspondent,
69
00:06:35,771 --> 00:06:39,328
a presidential debate moderator
and network field correspondent.
70
00:06:39,331 --> 00:06:41,539
The recipient of
multiple broadcast awards,
71
00:06:41,542 --> 00:06:43,015
including a Leadership in Journalism
72
00:06:43,018 --> 00:06:44,944
award from the New York Media Foundation
73
00:06:44,947 --> 00:06:50,242
he and the TMS team have won 12
Daytime Emmys in their 15-year tenure.
74
00:06:50,244 --> 00:06:52,869
Late last night, The New York
Times was reportedly tipped off
75
00:06:52,871 --> 00:06:57,374
to an internal investigation by UBA
into Kessler's sexual misconduct.
76
00:06:57,376 --> 00:07:00,919
Up until today, The Morning Show
was the only morning news broadcast
77
00:07:00,921 --> 00:07:02,591
to dodge the Me Too scandals that have
78
00:07:02,594 --> 00:07:04,089
seemingly plagued its competitors.
79
00:07:04,091 --> 00:07:06,508
- When?
- Just broke. Does she know yet?
80
00:07:06,510 --> 00:07:11,012
She knows. We're reworking the whole
show. We are live in 90 minutes.
81
00:07:11,014 --> 00:07:14,599
Buckle up. Layla's working on
new copy. Get it to Alex A.S.A.P.
82
00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:15,602
Got it.
83
00:07:17,938 --> 00:07:22,153
We had no choice. It was multiple
complaints of sexual misconduct.
84
00:07:22,156 --> 00:07:25,610
How multiple? Who? When?
85
00:07:25,612 --> 00:07:29,593
I don't know. It's confidential.
It leaked to the Times overnight.
86
00:07:29,596 --> 00:07:31,074
How?
87
00:07:31,076 --> 00:07:34,580
I have no clue who leaked
it. I fucking wish I knew.
88
00:07:35,414 --> 00:07:37,082
I'm trying to deal with this quietly.
89
00:07:40,502 --> 00:07:42,133
Shit. Okay.
90
00:07:42,134 --> 00:07:45,964
HR has been looking into it for
a few weeks. I didn't want...
91
00:07:45,966 --> 00:07:47,242
I didn't wanna drag you in.
92
00:07:47,245 --> 00:07:49,918
I was trying to protect you,
Alex, okay? Before you...
93
00:07:52,331 --> 00:07:54,389
You knew about this,
and you didn't tell me?
94
00:07:54,391 --> 00:07:56,011
What am I? Some fucking PA from Idaho
95
00:07:56,014 --> 00:07:57,801
who doesn't need to
know what's going on?
96
00:07:57,804 --> 00:07:59,769
Alex, I was trying to
respect your space...
97
00:07:59,771 --> 00:08:01,188
- My space.
- ...like you asked me to,
98
00:08:01,190 --> 00:08:03,440
so that you can go out there
every morning and do what you do,
99
00:08:03,442 --> 00:08:04,649
what America needs you to do.
100
00:08:04,651 --> 00:08:07,645
Oh, fuck you, Chip. Fuck you.
Don't drag America into this.
101
00:08:07,648 --> 00:08:09,696
They've got enough shit to deal with.
102
00:08:09,698 --> 00:08:14,993
This affects me, okay? My
on-air partner, my TV husband...
103
00:08:16,538 --> 00:08:18,749
is a sexual predator now?
104
00:08:19,791 --> 00:08:21,924
What part of you
thought that I should not
105
00:08:21,927 --> 00:08:23,758
have been involved in this conversation?
106
00:08:24,588 --> 00:08:26,379
You think chemistry
just comes in a bottle,
107
00:08:26,381 --> 00:08:28,548
and we go out and we buy
another one at Whole Foods?
108
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:30,967
Charlie Black's office.
Please hold one moment.
109
00:08:30,969 --> 00:08:32,302
Charlie Black's office.
Please hold one moment.
110
00:08:32,304 --> 00:08:33,976
Rena. Where is he?
111
00:08:33,977 --> 00:08:35,095
We need to discuss how we're
handling the show today.
112
00:08:35,097 --> 00:08:37,599
He's in there with her. And
he said no interruptions.
113
00:08:37,601 --> 00:08:39,765
Rena, we're live in less
than two hours, for Chrissake.
114
00:08:39,768 --> 00:08:41,755
Charlie Black's office. Please hol...
115
00:08:41,758 --> 00:08:44,647
Oh. Hi. Let me see if I can get him.
116
00:08:44,650 --> 00:08:47,651
- Really? Wow.
- Really.
117
00:08:47,653 --> 00:08:49,110
- Excuse me.
- Wow.
118
00:08:49,112 --> 00:08:50,403
- My ass. You know that.
- True. But...
119
00:08:50,405 --> 00:08:53,782
- What?
- It's the network... Cory and Fred.
120
00:08:53,784 --> 00:08:55,437
- Fabulous. Put 'em through.
- Yeah.
121
00:08:56,662 --> 00:08:58,328
I got it.
122
00:08:58,330 --> 00:09:00,163
- Hi, it's Alex.
- And Chip.
123
00:09:00,165 --> 00:09:04,876
- Alex? Alex, it's Cory here.
- And Fred.
124
00:09:04,878 --> 00:09:09,129
I am just incredibly sorry about
this. I feel absolutely terrible.
125
00:09:09,132 --> 00:09:12,926
I feel like Mitch died.
The Mitch that I knew.
126
00:09:12,928 --> 00:09:14,928
And I've only been running
the news division for a month,
127
00:09:14,930 --> 00:09:16,972
so I can't imagine what
you must be feeling.
128
00:09:16,974 --> 00:09:18,557
My condolences, Alex.
129
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,100
This is so hard for all of us.
130
00:09:20,102 --> 00:09:24,062
Look, we're all a family here, and
we've had a tragedy. So, we're...
131
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:25,792
Any kind of sexual misconduct
132
00:09:25,795 --> 00:09:27,566
will not be tolerated by the network.
133
00:09:27,568 --> 00:09:29,818
- Well, absolutely not.
- You think you know someone...
134
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:32,529
Okay, thank you, Fred and Cory.
135
00:09:32,531 --> 00:09:35,115
But I can't really think about that
right now because I've got to focus
136
00:09:35,117 --> 00:09:38,382
on what we're putting on the
show in less than two hours.
137
00:09:38,385 --> 00:09:39,578
- More caffeine.
- Thank you.
138
00:09:39,580 --> 00:09:40,662
Oh, thank you.
139
00:09:40,664 --> 00:09:44,317
That's exactly why you're
the pro that you are.
140
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,127
We just have to take this
one step at a time, right?
141
00:09:47,129 --> 00:09:48,920
Can't let the fact that
there's hundreds of millions
142
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:51,256
of advertising dollars at stake
here... We're not gonna let that...
143
00:09:51,258 --> 00:09:54,009
- Fuck you.
- ...bother us, because change can be good.
144
00:09:54,011 --> 00:09:56,636
And one man's tragedy, it can
be another man's opportunity.
145
00:09:56,638 --> 00:09:58,805
So let's, fuck yeah, embrace it.
146
00:09:58,807 --> 00:10:01,349
And use this to reinvent ourselves,
147
00:10:01,352 --> 00:10:04,102
make things bigger and better. Well...
148
00:10:04,104 --> 00:10:07,855
Thank God we've got you, Alex.
You will carry us through this.
149
00:10:07,858 --> 00:10:09,652
I guess that's why they've been dragging
150
00:10:09,655 --> 00:10:11,625
their feet on closing my renegotiations.
151
00:10:13,538 --> 00:10:14,831
Yeah. Hey, guys.
152
00:10:15,489 --> 00:10:16,739
So listen,
153
00:10:16,742 --> 00:10:23,434
my gut instinct is to bring the
news to America myself honestly.
154
00:10:23,437 --> 00:10:27,584
Addressing the truth is the only
way to protect our integrity.
155
00:10:27,586 --> 00:10:30,295
So, we will talk to them
as members of our family.
156
00:10:30,297 --> 00:10:34,466
We will grieve with them. We
will go through this together.
157
00:10:34,468 --> 00:10:36,301
She's a class act. All the way.
158
00:10:36,303 --> 00:10:37,886
Shut up.
159
00:10:37,888 --> 00:10:41,556
And if we use this right, this is
our chance to get our audience back.
160
00:10:41,558 --> 00:10:44,267
I couldn't agree more, Alex. I think
you've got the right idea there.
161
00:10:44,269 --> 00:10:45,602
Pull the family together.
162
00:10:45,604 --> 00:10:48,750
And we'll get a surge in our
ratings for a few days. And...
163
00:10:50,275 --> 00:10:51,816
I was gonna say that.
164
00:10:51,818 --> 00:10:54,914
May sweeps are imminent,
let's not forget.
165
00:10:56,957 --> 00:11:00,414
And yes, yes. We can discuss
166
00:11:00,415 --> 00:11:02,820
who we're gonna be
putting in Mitch's chair...
167
00:11:04,706 --> 00:11:05,707
today.
168
00:11:06,458 --> 00:11:09,429
But I am addressing
America up top on my own.
169
00:11:09,432 --> 00:11:10,951
Like we have a choice.
170
00:11:10,953 --> 00:11:13,505
I don't want anyone
sitting in Mitch's chair.
171
00:11:13,507 --> 00:11:16,134
Not during this. That's mine.
172
00:11:34,319 --> 00:11:35,696
I can't feel anything.
173
00:11:37,906 --> 00:11:40,240
Don't worry. I'll be with you.
174
00:11:40,242 --> 00:11:42,415
You'll get out there,
and you'll feel it.
175
00:11:42,418 --> 00:11:44,751
You'll find it, like you always do.
176
00:12:40,302 --> 00:12:41,426
- Bradley.
- What?
177
00:12:41,428 --> 00:12:43,922
I'm telling you something.
It's for your own good.
178
00:12:43,925 --> 00:12:44,926
What?
179
00:12:45,807 --> 00:12:46,808
You're awful.
180
00:12:48,143 --> 00:12:50,560
Blow me, Alan. Just because I push back?
181
00:12:50,562 --> 00:12:53,730
You don't push back. You
incinerate. Everyone says it.
182
00:12:53,732 --> 00:12:55,395
You fight everyone on everything.
183
00:12:55,398 --> 00:12:58,818
Well, there's a lot of sloppy work
done around here, mainly by you.
184
00:12:58,820 --> 00:13:01,779
You know that anchor
opening on the late hour?
185
00:13:01,782 --> 00:13:03,234
They're giving it to Sarah.
186
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,286
Sarah?
187
00:13:07,287 --> 00:13:10,789
The world's only conservative lesbian
who weirdly looks like Mary Hart
188
00:13:10,791 --> 00:13:13,429
and has also been at the
channel three years less than me?
189
00:13:14,419 --> 00:13:16,770
People like her. It's
not a crime, you know?
190
00:13:16,773 --> 00:13:18,088
Gotcha.
191
00:13:18,090 --> 00:13:22,050
Hey, just do yourself a favor. Try
to be more agreeable, for Chrissake!
192
00:13:22,052 --> 00:13:23,820
I am fucking agreeable!
193
00:13:24,847 --> 00:13:28,247
Coal creates jobs! Coal creates jobs!
194
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:31,226
Coal creates jobs! Coal creates jobs!
195
00:13:31,270 --> 00:13:34,259
Coal creates jobs! Coal creates jobs!
196
00:13:34,262 --> 00:13:36,565
No more coal! No more coal!
197
00:13:36,567 --> 00:13:38,525
- ...is what used to be...
- No more coal! No more coal!
198
00:13:38,527 --> 00:13:41,778
No more coal! No more coal!
199
00:13:41,780 --> 00:13:45,782
No more coal! No more
coal! No more coal!
200
00:13:45,784 --> 00:13:48,660
Hey, I gotta take this. I got
something going on at home.
201
00:13:48,662 --> 00:13:51,872
- No more coal! No more coal!
- Mom, hold on.
202
00:13:51,874 --> 00:13:53,620
Hey, honey. You sound like
you don't want to talk.
203
00:13:53,622 --> 00:13:57,043
Hold on, Mom. I'm doing my job at a
protest right now. What's going on?
204
00:13:57,045 --> 00:13:59,004
A protest? Is everything safe?
205
00:13:59,006 --> 00:14:02,632
I'm at a coal mine. No,
I'm safe. Is Hal okay?
206
00:14:02,634 --> 00:14:04,050
He's doing just fine.
207
00:14:04,052 --> 00:14:05,677
Mom, speak up. I can't hear you.
208
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,351
You sound really busy.
209
00:14:07,352 --> 00:14:09,556
I just wanna let you know
I brought your brother home.
210
00:14:09,558 --> 00:14:10,640
You did not.
211
00:14:10,642 --> 00:14:13,560
Don't take that tone. You
sound like a bitch, honey.
212
00:14:13,562 --> 00:14:16,605
- I'll talk to you later.
- No more coal! No more coal!
213
00:14:16,607 --> 00:14:19,983
- Joe! Jesus. Fuck.
- No more coal! No more coal!
214
00:14:19,985 --> 00:14:21,067
Joe. Hey.
215
00:14:21,069 --> 00:14:23,236
- Over here.
- Okay. God.
216
00:14:23,238 --> 00:14:26,281
- Yeah. Sorry about that.
- Okay, Bradley, this is Jenna Macantire,
217
00:14:26,283 --> 00:14:27,574
- she's protesting mines.
- Hey.
218
00:14:27,576 --> 00:14:28,810
This is Bob Stephens. His family's been
219
00:14:28,812 --> 00:14:30,619
in the mining business for generations.
220
00:14:30,621 --> 00:14:32,370
All right. I got it.
221
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:33,865
I'm gonna need a wide shot, okay?
222
00:14:33,868 --> 00:14:35,665
And then we'll go on three and two, one.
223
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,629
- Hey! You okay, Joe?
- Yeah.
224
00:14:40,631 --> 00:14:41,796
Hey. What are you doing?
225
00:14:41,798 --> 00:14:43,256
Let go of me, fake news bitch!
226
00:14:43,258 --> 00:14:44,341
- What?
- Get off of me.
227
00:14:44,343 --> 00:14:45,467
What did you fucking call me?
228
00:14:45,469 --> 00:14:47,052
Called you a fake news
bitch is what I called you.
229
00:14:47,054 --> 00:14:49,387
Oh, yeah? I'm fake news?
What's the real news then?
230
00:14:49,389 --> 00:14:51,431
You tell me five facts about
coal, and I'll let you go.
231
00:14:51,433 --> 00:14:52,724
I don't have to tell you shit, lady.
232
00:14:52,726 --> 00:14:54,022
You knocked down my cameraman.
233
00:14:54,023 --> 00:14:55,685
Otherwise I'm gonna have
you arrested for assault.
234
00:14:55,687 --> 00:14:57,687
I bet you don't know
jack shit about coal.
235
00:14:57,689 --> 00:14:59,397
You're just out here
trying to raise some hell.
236
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:00,524
Go! Tell me!
237
00:15:00,526 --> 00:15:01,729
Coal is a cheap fuel.
238
00:15:01,732 --> 00:15:03,610
Wrong! What else?
239
00:15:03,612 --> 00:15:05,278
I don't know. It's
easy to get for people.
240
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,738
Wrong! What else?
241
00:15:06,740 --> 00:15:08,448
It makes jobs for
everybody. Everyone's happy.
242
00:15:08,450 --> 00:15:11,252
Yeah, so does death, okay?
You think that's a good idea?
243
00:15:11,255 --> 00:15:12,661
- No, I don't...
- If it's so positive,
244
00:15:12,663 --> 00:15:14,746
why do you think all these
people are out here protesting?
245
00:15:14,748 --> 00:15:16,456
I don't know. Because they
think it's dangerous or...
246
00:15:16,458 --> 00:15:17,791
Do you think it's dangerous?
247
00:15:17,794 --> 00:15:19,381
Do you even know what's in coal ash?
248
00:15:19,384 --> 00:15:23,504
Arsenic, copper, lead, mercury, uranium.
249
00:15:23,507 --> 00:15:26,505
That is some toxic shit.
And what about jobs?
250
00:15:26,508 --> 00:15:28,760
How many jobs have been
lost in the last ten years?
251
00:15:28,762 --> 00:15:29,761
- I don't know.
- Huh?
252
00:15:29,763 --> 00:15:34,872
Thousands! Thousands of fucking
families knocked on their asses.
253
00:15:34,875 --> 00:15:36,807
And it's just a big
wheel that goes around.
254
00:15:36,810 --> 00:15:40,146
Liberals add sanctions.
Conservatives remove those sanctions.
255
00:15:40,148 --> 00:15:41,732
And they just keep fighting 'cause all
256
00:15:41,735 --> 00:15:43,316
they wanna do is hear themselves talk.
257
00:15:43,318 --> 00:15:45,735
And they all want to be
right. And they all wanna win.
258
00:15:45,737 --> 00:15:49,322
And that's all they fucking care
about. And there's a human cost!
259
00:15:49,324 --> 00:15:51,199
And it's exhausting!
260
00:15:51,201 --> 00:15:52,909
I'm exhausted!
261
00:15:52,911 --> 00:15:55,455
Okay. Okay. Okay, Jesus.
262
00:15:56,582 --> 00:15:57,624
Get off me.
263
00:16:04,423 --> 00:16:06,006
Don't knock over old men.
264
00:16:06,008 --> 00:16:08,068
I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
265
00:16:09,970 --> 00:16:11,052
Okay.
266
00:16:11,054 --> 00:16:13,346
- Okay, let's take it away.
- I'm ready. I'm ready.
267
00:16:13,348 --> 00:16:15,267
Okay, are y'all ready?
268
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,978
In three, two, one.
269
00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:23,899
Hi. I'm Bradley Jackson at Lachlan
Coal Mine, reporting to you today.
270
00:16:23,901 --> 00:16:27,402
This coal mine is reopening
after closing four years ago
271
00:16:27,404 --> 00:16:31,114
due to declining coal demands
and rising regulatory threats,
272
00:16:31,116 --> 00:16:33,590
costing this area thousands of jobs.
273
00:16:37,122 --> 00:16:38,373
It's time.
274
00:16:39,082 --> 00:16:40,083
I'm ready.
275
00:17:06,818 --> 00:17:08,192
I revised the copy myself.
276
00:17:08,194 --> 00:17:10,405
I gave my copy. I know what I'm saying.
277
00:17:12,281 --> 00:17:13,784
Yeah.
278
00:17:21,208 --> 00:17:23,238
- Mm.
- Okay. Last looks.
279
00:17:27,506 --> 00:17:29,258
Thanks.
280
00:17:35,347 --> 00:17:37,140
Okay. There. Thanks.
281
00:17:38,543 --> 00:17:40,433
- Okay, clear.
- Check the time.
282
00:17:40,435 --> 00:17:41,687
Stand by, A.
283
00:17:43,021 --> 00:17:45,957
Roll A. Eight seconds to you.
284
00:17:47,150 --> 00:17:48,608
Five...
285
00:17:48,610 --> 00:17:50,944
Four, three.
286
00:17:50,946 --> 00:17:54,321
Two. Start your move.
287
00:17:54,324 --> 00:17:55,325
Cue her.
288
00:17:56,076 --> 00:18:00,824
Good morning. I'm bringing you
some sad and upsetting news.
289
00:18:01,707 --> 00:18:06,542
Mitch Kessler, my cohost
and partner of 15 years,
290
00:18:06,545 --> 00:18:09,214
was fired today for sexual misconduct.
291
00:18:10,299 --> 00:18:12,004
All right. Stay strong.
292
00:18:12,007 --> 00:18:13,925
First and foremost, I want to offer
293
00:18:13,928 --> 00:18:16,802
our sympathy and support to the women.
294
00:18:16,805 --> 00:18:19,895
We are devastated that
this happened on our watch,
295
00:18:19,896 --> 00:18:22,474
and our hearts are with you.
296
00:18:22,477 --> 00:18:27,063
And to you at home, I understand
how you must be feeling
297
00:18:27,065 --> 00:18:29,746
because I and the whole team here at
298
00:18:29,749 --> 00:18:32,861
The Morning Show are
feeling the same way.
299
00:18:32,863 --> 00:18:37,115
Shock, disappointment, disbelief.
300
00:18:37,117 --> 00:18:38,783
She's throwing me under the bus.
301
00:18:38,785 --> 00:18:42,078
And while I don't know the
details of the allegations,
302
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,296
I understand that they were serious
303
00:18:44,299 --> 00:18:46,625
and that keeping Mitch
on was not an option.
304
00:18:46,627 --> 00:18:48,710
I don't think we need to watch any
more of this. Let's prep you for your...
305
00:18:48,712 --> 00:18:50,756
Do not touch that remote.
306
00:18:51,798 --> 00:18:55,844
We know he was part of our
family, of your families.
307
00:18:57,596 --> 00:18:59,698
We will all miss that person.
308
00:19:02,226 --> 00:19:04,561
But there are consequences in life.
309
00:19:05,395 --> 00:19:08,732
As a woman, I can say there
often aren't enough of them.
310
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:16,740
And while I will miss the Mitch I
thought I knew with all of my heart...
311
00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:23,410
I am proud to work on a network
312
00:19:23,413 --> 00:19:28,252
and live in a country
that upholds consequences.
313
00:19:29,169 --> 00:19:30,710
What a load.
314
00:19:30,712 --> 00:19:33,179
So, please have patience with us
315
00:19:33,182 --> 00:19:35,924
as we find our footing
in the next few days.
316
00:19:35,926 --> 00:19:37,133
She's on fire today.
317
00:19:37,135 --> 00:19:39,511
We will bring you the news, as always.
318
00:19:39,513 --> 00:19:41,555
Too bad we can't always
throw a crisis at her.
319
00:19:41,557 --> 00:19:43,265
- It turns her lights on.
- We will share any information
320
00:19:43,267 --> 00:19:45,058
we have with you.
321
00:19:45,060 --> 00:19:50,732
You are part of this family. And
we will get through this together.
322
00:19:51,733 --> 00:19:52,943
We'll be right back.
323
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:56,986
We're back in 30.
324
00:19:56,989 --> 00:19:58,321
It's good. Good.
325
00:19:58,323 --> 00:19:59,865
That was beautiful.
326
00:19:59,867 --> 00:20:02,409
Roll A. Back in two minutes.
327
00:20:02,411 --> 00:20:04,621
Drop down to 40%. Hold.
328
00:20:05,690 --> 00:20:07,539
Yeah, that's perfect.
329
00:20:07,541 --> 00:20:08,999
- Here are some tissues.
- No, I don't need it.
330
00:20:09,001 --> 00:20:10,500
- I'm good.
- Okay.
331
00:20:35,277 --> 00:20:37,235
I bet you don't know
jack shit about coal.
332
00:20:37,237 --> 00:20:40,030
You're just out here trying to
raise some hell. Go ahead. Tell me.
333
00:20:40,032 --> 00:20:41,198
- I don't know, coal...
- What?
334
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,033
- Coal is a cheap fuel.
- Shit.
335
00:20:43,035 --> 00:20:46,161
Bradley Jackson. Stop
your ass right there.
336
00:20:46,163 --> 00:20:49,080
Why the hell am I hearing that
you hired Sarah Oppenheimer
337
00:20:49,082 --> 00:20:50,749
for the anchor job on America On Point?
338
00:20:50,751 --> 00:20:53,793
Don't even. You know what
everybody's talking about here today?
339
00:20:53,795 --> 00:20:56,087
Two things. Mitch Kessler is fired
340
00:20:56,089 --> 00:20:58,381
and Bradley Jackson lost
her shit at the protest.
341
00:20:58,383 --> 00:21:01,635
Climb off me, Jones. How was I
supposed to know people were filming me?
342
00:21:01,637 --> 00:21:03,476
What? Like it's not the 21st century?
343
00:21:03,479 --> 00:21:05,347
I was talking to him about the truth.
344
00:21:05,349 --> 00:21:07,641
You remember the truth? Journalism?
345
00:21:07,643 --> 00:21:11,645
We're newspeople, Jones.
Listen to yourself.
346
00:21:11,647 --> 00:21:13,605
I gave you a shot.
347
00:21:13,607 --> 00:21:14,731
I know you did.
348
00:21:14,733 --> 00:21:16,358
When nobody else would.
349
00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:19,194
You've been bouncing around
for years, and we both know why.
350
00:21:19,197 --> 00:21:22,154
- I don't wanna talk about that.
- "Two-Fucks Jackson."
351
00:21:22,157 --> 00:21:26,243
I was very young. I got flustered.
And that was ten years ago.
352
00:21:26,245 --> 00:21:28,745
You get too hot too fast, Bradley.
353
00:21:28,747 --> 00:21:33,750
I accidentally said "fuck." Okay?
And then I got mad at myself and...
354
00:21:33,752 --> 00:21:36,628
Said "fuck" again, on live TV.
355
00:21:37,798 --> 00:21:39,089
I remember.
356
00:21:39,091 --> 00:21:42,094
And there goes the
ballad of Bradley Jackson.
357
00:21:44,053 --> 00:21:47,179
You know what? Find some other puppet.
358
00:21:47,182 --> 00:21:50,225
Find some other person that you can
put slanted copy in front of them,
359
00:21:50,227 --> 00:21:54,062
that'll go to the coal mine
protests, your school shootings,
360
00:21:54,064 --> 00:21:56,189
the pregnant lady that
got hit by a truck.
361
00:21:56,191 --> 00:21:58,446
Find somebody else to
be invisible for you,
362
00:21:58,447 --> 00:22:00,402
to deal with the world's heartaches
363
00:22:00,404 --> 00:22:03,071
and not have any fucking
feelings about it!
364
00:22:03,073 --> 00:22:04,074
I quit!
365
00:22:05,534 --> 00:22:08,624
Research shows that sexual harassment
366
00:22:08,627 --> 00:22:10,453
in the early stages of one's career
367
00:22:10,456 --> 00:22:13,665
can lead to long-term
psychological damage.
368
00:22:13,667 --> 00:22:19,018
And specifically, what type of
behavior or... or, uh, uh, harassment
369
00:22:19,021 --> 00:22:20,547
would cause that kind
of long-term damage?
370
00:22:20,549 --> 00:22:22,215
Stand by camera three.
371
00:22:22,217 --> 00:22:24,992
Jesus, Yanko. Could he be more
uncomfortable talking about this?
372
00:22:24,995 --> 00:22:27,554
Don't let Yanko talk.
373
00:22:27,556 --> 00:22:29,477
As you said, Dr. Marino,
374
00:22:29,478 --> 00:22:32,517
this affects so many of
us. What would you say...
375
00:22:32,519 --> 00:22:33,937
You knocked down my cameraman.
376
00:22:33,940 --> 00:22:35,854
Otherwise I'm gonna have
you arrested for assault.
377
00:22:35,856 --> 00:22:37,689
I bet you don't know
jack shit about coal.
378
00:22:37,691 --> 00:22:40,775
You're just out here trying to
raise some hell. Go ahead. Tell me.
379
00:22:40,777 --> 00:22:41,860
- I don't know...
- What?
380
00:22:41,862 --> 00:22:42,944
Coal is a cheap fuel.
381
00:22:42,946 --> 00:22:45,405
Wrong! What else?
382
00:22:45,407 --> 00:22:46,489
Hannah.
383
00:22:46,491 --> 00:22:47,574
Wrong! What else?
384
00:22:47,576 --> 00:22:49,826
You said you were looking for
stories about strong women tomorrow.
385
00:22:49,828 --> 00:22:50,952
Check this out.
386
00:22:50,954 --> 00:22:52,163
If it's so fucking great,
387
00:22:52,165 --> 00:22:53,829
why are these people
are out here protesting?
388
00:22:53,831 --> 00:22:56,166
- I don't know. They think it's dangerous.
- Do you even know what's in coal ash?
389
00:22:56,168 --> 00:22:57,876
- Who is this?
- Let me help you out.
390
00:22:57,878 --> 00:23:01,664
Bradley Jackson, some conservative
correspondent for SENN.
391
00:23:01,667 --> 00:23:06,134
She's fucking funny, but
also resonates some truth.
392
00:23:06,136 --> 00:23:08,639
And the weary voice
of America speaks out.
393
00:23:09,610 --> 00:23:11,389
It's like a little
piece of performance art.
394
00:23:11,392 --> 00:23:14,020
Thousands. Thousands
of jobs have been lost.
395
00:23:16,312 --> 00:23:19,647
They can't do this to me. It's illegal.
396
00:23:19,650 --> 00:23:21,983
They can't just take my
life away based on hearsay.
397
00:23:21,985 --> 00:23:23,726
They have documented complaints, Mitch.
398
00:23:23,729 --> 00:23:24,778
We have to deal with the reality...
399
00:23:24,780 --> 00:23:26,326
Documented complaints about what?
400
00:23:26,327 --> 00:23:28,740
That I had affairs? Since
when is that a crime?
401
00:23:28,742 --> 00:23:32,536
No, no, no, no. No. I'm... I'm
not proud of it, but what the fuck?
402
00:23:32,538 --> 00:23:34,538
I didn't invent extracurricular sex.
403
00:23:34,540 --> 00:23:36,359
What is happening here?
404
00:23:36,362 --> 00:23:41,294
The network that I gave 20 years of
my life plus is now locking me out.
405
00:23:41,296 --> 00:23:42,629
Throwing me to the wolves.
406
00:23:42,631 --> 00:23:44,673
They won't even engage
in a discussion with me?
407
00:23:44,675 --> 00:23:46,758
Listen, take it easy.
Don't get all worked up...
408
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,969
"Don't get all worked
up"? Are you kidding me?
409
00:23:48,971 --> 00:23:53,049
My life just ended for no good
reason, and I should stay calm?
410
00:23:53,976 --> 00:23:57,020
You know what? I didn't rape anybody!
411
00:23:59,147 --> 00:24:03,108
I didn't fire anybody. I didn't jizz
into a plant in front of somebody.
412
00:24:03,110 --> 00:24:06,486
You know what I did? I fucked
a couple of PA's and assistants.
413
00:24:06,488 --> 00:24:10,323
Big fuckin' deal. They liked
it. I mean, who are we kidding?
414
00:24:10,325 --> 00:24:13,827
Everything's changed, but they
forgot to send me the memo.
415
00:24:13,829 --> 00:24:17,205
Since the dawn of time, men have
used their power to attract women.
416
00:24:17,207 --> 00:24:20,709
And now let's bust Mitch
Kessler's head over it.
417
00:24:20,711 --> 00:24:22,294
Mitch, let me make you a drink.
418
00:24:22,296 --> 00:24:25,215
I didn't hold a gun to anybody's
head. It was consensual.
419
00:24:26,175 --> 00:24:27,841
Most of them came on to me.
420
00:24:27,843 --> 00:24:32,053
One of them actually told me that
I taught her how to have good sex!
421
00:24:32,055 --> 00:24:36,479
And now, that stupid, comedy
weather fuck is in my seat.
422
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,017
No fucking way!
423
00:24:38,020 --> 00:24:42,441
Come on. Fuck you! Fuck you!
424
00:24:43,317 --> 00:24:44,318
God.
425
00:24:44,943 --> 00:24:47,194
You little motherfucker!
426
00:24:47,196 --> 00:24:48,729
God damn it!
427
00:25:04,338 --> 00:25:05,631
Okay.
428
00:25:07,708 --> 00:25:10,690
We're gonna fight this.
429
00:25:10,701 --> 00:25:13,678
We're gonna come up with a
plan, and we're gonna fight this.
430
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,098
Okay. Okay.
431
00:25:20,145 --> 00:25:23,995
I'm picking up the kids from school
and taking them to the Hamptons.
432
00:25:25,192 --> 00:25:26,610
I'm divorcing you.
433
00:25:28,111 --> 00:25:31,949
I haven't liked you for a while anyway.
434
00:25:32,783 --> 00:25:34,241
Goodbye.
435
00:25:34,243 --> 00:25:35,869
Come on, Paige.
436
00:25:37,454 --> 00:25:40,123
Fuck!
437
00:25:44,670 --> 00:25:46,380
- Who is it?
- It's me.
438
00:26:02,354 --> 00:26:05,313
You did great. Yanko was a lot of
work. It was a bad call from Cory.
439
00:26:05,315 --> 00:26:06,398
You think?
440
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,446
We better have our shit together
441
00:26:08,447 --> 00:26:11,314
when the network
jerk-offs get here today.
442
00:26:11,317 --> 00:26:14,698
And I don't want that new guy
from the entertainment division
443
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:17,158
making the call about who
sits in that chair next to me.
444
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,997
Because I have to carry their ass!
445
00:26:21,415 --> 00:26:23,292
The guy's a fucking moron.
446
00:26:23,959 --> 00:26:26,920
They should never have made him
the head of the news division.
447
00:26:28,425 --> 00:26:31,590
And I wanna know every idea of who
they're going after for that chair.
448
00:26:31,592 --> 00:26:33,717
We're precarious enough in the ratings.
449
00:26:33,719 --> 00:26:34,801
Okay. I understand.
450
00:26:34,803 --> 00:26:36,970
Well, you better, 'cause
this is all your fault.
451
00:26:36,972 --> 00:26:40,182
You are the EP. The show
is slipping on your watch.
452
00:26:40,184 --> 00:26:41,727
And now that shit.
453
00:26:43,019 --> 00:26:44,844
You know I don't
control everything, Alex.
454
00:26:44,847 --> 00:26:47,482
Well, you're supposed
to. That's your job.
455
00:27:03,707 --> 00:27:06,680
All right, hot soup coming
through. Hot soup coming through.
456
00:27:08,712 --> 00:27:10,297
I just wanna say this.
457
00:27:11,465 --> 00:27:14,508
As long as I am the president
of the UBA news division,
458
00:27:14,510 --> 00:27:18,678
behavior such as that exhibited by
Mitch Kessler will not be tolerated.
459
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,472
Out of respect for
those who have suffered,
460
00:27:20,474 --> 00:27:23,016
I'll be making no further
comment at this time.
461
00:27:23,018 --> 00:27:24,689
Let's get PR back on the phone.
462
00:27:24,690 --> 00:27:26,476
I need to know how our
response is landing.
463
00:27:26,479 --> 00:27:30,357
I need writers and producers,
just all senior staff in my office
464
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,651
with ideas for how the fuck we're
gonna get through these next two days.
465
00:27:32,653 --> 00:27:33,735
The bosses are saying...
466
00:27:33,737 --> 00:27:35,403
Jesus, Joel. Pick a side.
467
00:27:35,405 --> 00:27:36,488
I'm on your side.
468
00:27:36,490 --> 00:27:38,073
Of the fucking hallway. Jesus.
469
00:27:38,076 --> 00:27:39,544
Okay. They're saying they want this week
470
00:27:39,546 --> 00:27:41,659
to land somewhere between repudiation
471
00:27:41,662 --> 00:27:43,625
and navel-gazing, whatever
the fuck that means.
472
00:27:43,626 --> 00:27:44,454
I have no idea what they're...
473
00:27:44,456 --> 00:27:46,081
I'll be back A.S.A.P. Can
you survive without me?
474
00:27:46,083 --> 00:27:47,415
Yes. Text me as soon as you know.
475
00:27:47,417 --> 00:27:49,334
- Where was I?
- Repudiation and navel-gazing.
476
00:27:49,336 --> 00:27:50,805
Data and Research. What the fuck?
477
00:27:50,808 --> 00:27:52,003
Why aren't they calling us back? Okay.
478
00:27:52,005 --> 00:27:53,713
We need that huddle.
We need it right now.
479
00:27:53,715 --> 00:27:57,217
And lastly, just get the entire
talent team up here, okay?
480
00:27:57,219 --> 00:27:59,349
We need to start preparing
our long-term strategy.
481
00:27:59,350 --> 00:28:00,423
You're getting all this, right?
482
00:28:00,425 --> 00:28:02,514
Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't listening.
483
00:28:02,516 --> 00:28:05,102
Oh, you know what? That is
not funny. Fuck you and f...
484
00:28:06,061 --> 00:28:08,854
Cory. Uh, hey.
485
00:28:08,856 --> 00:28:10,689
Is, uh, now a good time?
486
00:28:10,691 --> 00:28:14,150
I wasn't expecting
you till... Yes. Yeah.
487
00:28:14,152 --> 00:28:16,611
Well, you know. When the
Exxon Valdez hits the reef
488
00:28:16,613 --> 00:28:19,239
and spills ten million gallons
of your oil into the water,
489
00:28:19,241 --> 00:28:21,700
you kinda drop whatever
you're doing and fly to Alaska.
490
00:28:21,702 --> 00:28:23,034
Of course you do. Yeah.
491
00:28:23,036 --> 00:28:25,328
And if I might exhaust the metaphor,
492
00:28:25,330 --> 00:28:28,164
you don't leave until you make sure
493
00:28:28,166 --> 00:28:32,544
that every last salmon and
sea otter is scraped clean.
494
00:28:32,546 --> 00:28:37,257
So, we're gonna clean some
fuckin' sea otters, Chip, right?
495
00:28:37,259 --> 00:28:40,802
And we're not gonna like it,
and neither are the otters.
496
00:28:40,804 --> 00:28:44,306
But I'm gonna be with you, side
by side, until we get it all done.
497
00:28:44,308 --> 00:28:47,477
No matter how long or
how much soap it takes.
498
00:28:49,229 --> 00:28:52,314
- Well, I'm excited.
- Makes two of us. Let's go.
499
00:28:52,316 --> 00:28:54,316
Miles to go before we sleep.
500
00:28:54,318 --> 00:28:57,180
I've already called marketing, and
they're on their way down right now.
501
00:28:59,990 --> 00:29:03,116
We know you already discussed
this with the network PR team,
502
00:29:03,118 --> 00:29:05,702
but they're worried about the network.
503
00:29:05,705 --> 00:29:07,412
We wanna focus on you.
504
00:29:07,415 --> 00:29:11,500
How will America see Alex Levy
deal with the fall of Mitch Kessler?
505
00:29:11,502 --> 00:29:12,584
Oh, God.
506
00:29:12,586 --> 00:29:16,173
People are gonna wanna know
what you did or did not know.
507
00:29:16,798 --> 00:29:20,467
Okay, we're gonna work on your
follow-up statement in a minute.
508
00:29:20,469 --> 00:29:23,958
Your first one was a little
too sympathetic towards Mitch.
509
00:29:23,961 --> 00:29:25,639
- I'm so...
- I know you were close,
510
00:29:25,641 --> 00:29:27,098
- but you need to be careful.
- Excuse me.
511
00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:28,183
Excuse me.
512
00:29:28,185 --> 00:29:32,938
All I said was that I will miss the
person that I sat side by side with.
513
00:29:32,940 --> 00:29:35,023
That's just the truth.
514
00:29:35,025 --> 00:29:36,860
I expressed sympathy for the women,
515
00:29:36,863 --> 00:29:39,419
abhorrence for the predatory behavior.
516
00:29:39,422 --> 00:29:42,364
I am a journalist. You don't
have to spoon-feed me this shit.
517
00:29:42,366 --> 00:29:44,114
This isn't just about protection.
518
00:29:44,117 --> 00:29:46,121
It's about opportunity. You know that.
519
00:29:46,912 --> 00:29:47,994
Yes, I know that.
520
00:29:47,996 --> 00:29:51,456
We're in the middle of a tough
renegotiation. This can be good for us.
521
00:29:51,458 --> 00:29:54,292
I know, I know. I know that, okay. Okay.
522
00:29:54,294 --> 00:29:57,045
So, we're gonna hand
out the decks we made,
523
00:29:57,047 --> 00:29:59,422
and we will walk through
the five-tier response
524
00:29:59,424 --> 00:30:01,383
we are going to accomplish
over the next few days.
525
00:30:01,385 --> 00:30:04,505
In particular at the
big event in two nights.
526
00:30:04,508 --> 00:30:06,388
This is the worst timing ever.
527
00:30:06,390 --> 00:30:07,391
Alex.
528
00:30:10,519 --> 00:30:12,351
Please excuse me.
529
00:30:15,372 --> 00:30:16,788
Oh.
530
00:30:16,791 --> 00:30:17,901
Hi.
531
00:30:19,236 --> 00:30:20,652
Oh.
532
00:30:20,654 --> 00:30:22,946
I'm so happy to see this face.
533
00:30:22,948 --> 00:30:26,188
Oh, my God. What an
awesome surprise. Hi, honey.
534
00:30:27,653 --> 00:30:30,195
Oh, you didn't have to leave
school to come and see me.
535
00:30:30,205 --> 00:30:35,127
Oh, actually, my class came into
town for the day to see a play.
536
00:30:36,211 --> 00:30:37,586
Oh, that's okay.
537
00:30:37,588 --> 00:30:39,798
But, Mom, I'm so sorry.
538
00:30:41,633 --> 00:30:44,968
I can't believe it. I mean, maybe
I just don't want to, but, like...
539
00:30:44,970 --> 00:30:47,427
- I know.
- I've known him since I was conscious.
540
00:30:47,430 --> 00:30:49,264
I know. It's awful...
541
00:30:49,266 --> 00:30:50,726
- Yeah.
- ...and I'm so sorry.
542
00:30:53,437 --> 00:30:57,606
Oh, God. Honey, can't you skip
the play and just stay home with me
543
00:30:57,608 --> 00:30:59,916
and we can cuddle and we can make snacks
544
00:30:59,919 --> 00:31:01,943
and watch The British Cooking Show?
545
00:31:01,945 --> 00:31:05,238
Oh, just... anything
to make me feel happy.
546
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,698
Hey.
547
00:31:06,700 --> 00:31:08,617
- Oh, hi.
- Hey.
548
00:31:08,619 --> 00:31:11,038
- Hi, Dad.
- Hey, honey. How are you?
549
00:31:15,459 --> 00:31:18,962
This big news, I'm... I'm really sorry.
550
00:31:20,664 --> 00:31:23,667
I was texting you all day.
551
00:31:24,301 --> 00:31:28,889
I know. I'm sorry. It's just
the worst day of my entire life.
552
00:31:29,765 --> 00:31:34,184
So exhausted, and I still
have these people in there.
553
00:31:34,186 --> 00:31:38,563
Al, Al. Why don't I just...
I can stay. I could...
554
00:31:38,565 --> 00:31:39,902
I mean, I was gonna take
555
00:31:39,903 --> 00:31:41,816
Lizzy and her friends for
dinner before the show, but...
556
00:31:41,818 --> 00:31:45,737
No. No, no, no. You guys go.
I mean, I'm here all night,
557
00:31:45,739 --> 00:31:48,489
and then I have to go to bed,
558
00:31:48,492 --> 00:31:53,328
get up at 3:30 again and again.
559
00:31:53,330 --> 00:31:57,165
It's good. Go, live your
lives. Looks good, you know?
560
00:31:57,167 --> 00:32:00,085
Okay. But text me before you go to bed.
561
00:32:00,087 --> 00:32:03,380
- I will.
- And I'll be back on Friday for the event.
562
00:32:03,382 --> 00:32:04,464
Yes. Ugh!
563
00:32:04,466 --> 00:32:06,758
Yeah? It's all right.
We're gonna get through it.
564
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,051
- Yes.
- I love you.
565
00:32:08,053 --> 00:32:09,221
I love you so much.
566
00:32:10,597 --> 00:32:12,347
- Good night.
- Good night. Have fun.
567
00:32:12,349 --> 00:32:13,350
Good night.
568
00:32:16,895 --> 00:32:19,064
- Hey.
- Yeah. No, I can't.
569
00:32:20,274 --> 00:32:21,773
Okay.
570
00:32:21,775 --> 00:32:23,318
Go, Jase.
571
00:32:24,528 --> 00:32:25,610
Bye, Al.
572
00:32:25,612 --> 00:32:26,782
Thanks.
573
00:33:10,949 --> 00:33:13,783
Hey, honey. What a nice
surprise. Just in time for dinner.
574
00:33:22,002 --> 00:33:25,879
Mom, Hal is an addict. He is
bipolar, and he's an addict.
575
00:33:25,882 --> 00:33:29,007
Jesus, Bradley. Have to be
so dramatic about everything?
576
00:33:29,009 --> 00:33:32,427
Just come sit down. We're having
dinner. Hal, turn the music back on.
577
00:33:32,429 --> 00:33:34,021
Hal.
578
00:33:34,024 --> 00:33:36,014
You gotta listen to me this time, Mom.
579
00:33:36,016 --> 00:33:39,059
Are you just upset about that viral
video of you yelling at that boy?
580
00:33:39,061 --> 00:33:41,937
I don't care about the
video. And he wasn't a boy.
581
00:33:41,939 --> 00:33:45,607
Do not derail the conversation.
Hal is an addict, and he needs help.
582
00:33:45,609 --> 00:33:48,410
He's not an addict. He just
went through a rough spot.
583
00:33:48,413 --> 00:33:49,662
Mom, he is an addict.
584
00:33:49,665 --> 00:33:52,656
Hey, look, I'm... I am an addict, Mom.
585
00:33:52,658 --> 00:33:54,533
- I liked your video.
- Thank you.
586
00:33:54,535 --> 00:33:56,201
But he's better now.
587
00:33:56,203 --> 00:33:58,141
He wasn't even there for two weeks.
588
00:33:58,144 --> 00:34:00,610
You just had him come home
'cause you didn't wanna be alone.
589
00:34:00,613 --> 00:34:02,699
- That is not true.
- It's a little true, Mom.
590
00:34:03,293 --> 00:34:06,002
Do you know the mountains I had
to move to get him into that place?
591
00:34:06,004 --> 00:34:07,671
Not to mention the
amount of money I spent.
592
00:34:07,673 --> 00:34:09,755
- Can we just please have a...
- Hey, Brad, Brad.
593
00:34:09,757 --> 00:34:11,049
I'm gonna pay you back.
594
00:34:11,051 --> 00:34:12,842
- I'll pay you back.
- I don't need you to pay me back.
595
00:34:12,844 --> 00:34:15,720
I need you to be better.
I need you to be safe.
596
00:34:15,722 --> 00:34:18,849
Do you have any idea how many
decisions I have made in my life
597
00:34:18,851 --> 00:34:21,476
- just because I had to take care of you?
- Bradley, stop it.
598
00:34:21,478 --> 00:34:23,686
How many relationships I've
lost? How many jobs I've lost?
599
00:34:23,688 --> 00:34:26,313
- I'm sorry...
- You are ruining dinner!
600
00:34:37,786 --> 00:34:39,246
Jesus.
601
00:34:40,539 --> 00:34:42,038
I'll get it.
602
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,085
Just... every time.
603
00:34:47,337 --> 00:34:51,399
- Yeah?
- Bradley Jackson. I've found you.
604
00:34:51,402 --> 00:34:52,528
What?
605
00:34:55,262 --> 00:34:56,720
Can I help you?
606
00:34:56,722 --> 00:35:00,225
Hannah Shoenfeld. Head
booker for The Morning Show.
607
00:35:01,518 --> 00:35:04,235
You know you have over a
million views on your video?
608
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,355
What can I do for you?
609
00:35:07,357 --> 00:35:11,401
We wanna interview you about
why the video is going viral.
610
00:35:11,403 --> 00:35:14,654
It's clearly touched a nerve.
We'd like to book you for tomorrow.
611
00:35:14,656 --> 00:35:18,033
I've got us on a plane 90 minutes
from now. We should get going.
612
00:35:18,035 --> 00:35:20,911
Wait. The Morning Show?
613
00:35:20,913 --> 00:35:25,805
The one with Alex Levy and Mitch
Ke... That show with Alex Levy?
614
00:35:25,808 --> 00:35:26,890
The Morning Show?
615
00:35:26,893 --> 00:35:28,101
Mm-hmm.
616
00:35:28,104 --> 00:35:30,106
Yeah. Alex will interview you.
617
00:35:30,797 --> 00:35:35,314
What? Just because I
lost my shit at a protest?
618
00:35:35,317 --> 00:35:38,219
Your words spoke to America.
619
00:35:38,222 --> 00:35:40,013
Oh, no. I don't...
620
00:35:40,015 --> 00:35:42,194
Bradley, some piece of you that is
621
00:35:42,197 --> 00:35:44,309
really you came through in that video.
622
00:35:44,311 --> 00:35:46,271
People are noticing. They want more.
623
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,908
How the hell did you find me
out here at my mom's house?
624
00:35:53,904 --> 00:35:57,074
We're The Morning Show.
We can do anything.
625
00:35:58,450 --> 00:35:59,699
I do everything right.
626
00:35:59,701 --> 00:36:02,076
Everything they've asked me
to do in the last three years.
627
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:03,912
They just don't know what to do with me.
628
00:36:03,914 --> 00:36:06,329
And they're making us
see this popcorn shit?
629
00:36:06,332 --> 00:36:08,108
Fucking Gilmore Girls, The Musical?
630
00:36:08,111 --> 00:36:10,585
- Is the world so bereft of new ideas...
- Don't act like you didn't know
631
00:36:10,587 --> 00:36:12,379
what The Twist was gonna be.
I was in that meeting too.
632
00:36:12,381 --> 00:36:14,172
- You didn't have a gun to your head.
- Why did I get a Master's in Journalism?
633
00:36:14,174 --> 00:36:16,675
What's the point of having
a PhD in Political Science?
634
00:36:16,677 --> 00:36:18,426
Is this what Gabe comes
home to every night?
635
00:36:18,428 --> 00:36:20,720
Why did they hire me if they're not
gonna give me a shot at the chair?
636
00:36:20,722 --> 00:36:23,546
- Jesus. My feed is wall-to-wall Mitch.
- God forbid there's a serious black anchor
637
00:36:23,548 --> 00:36:24,603
on The Morning Show.
638
00:36:24,604 --> 00:36:27,310
Not for the Norman Rockwell
family of morning news.
639
00:36:27,312 --> 00:36:29,020
Tokenism at its finest.
640
00:36:29,022 --> 00:36:30,397
You are closer now to the job
641
00:36:30,399 --> 00:36:32,107
- than you were 24 hours ago.
- They're making me jump through hoops
642
00:36:32,109 --> 00:36:33,795
watching the fucking Gilmore Girls
643
00:36:33,798 --> 00:36:35,610
sing about how tough
upper-middle class life
644
00:36:35,612 --> 00:36:38,613
in Connecticut is while a bunch of
idiot white dudes eat expensive food
645
00:36:38,615 --> 00:36:40,657
on the network's dime to
discuss how to overlook me.
646
00:36:40,659 --> 00:36:41,660
Yeah.
647
00:36:44,288 --> 00:36:46,498
And what the hell kinda
name is Lorelai anyway?
648
00:36:52,045 --> 00:36:54,671
So this is sort of
getting you up to speed.
649
00:36:54,673 --> 00:36:57,257
Now, obviously, the
hunt for a replacement
650
00:36:57,259 --> 00:37:00,802
for Alex is on the back
burner, given the circumstances.
651
00:37:00,804 --> 00:37:02,554
Other fish to imminently fry.
652
00:37:02,556 --> 00:37:05,932
Exactly. But I wanted you to
have the lay of the land here
653
00:37:05,934 --> 00:37:08,517
- just so you know where we're at.
- Thank you.
654
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,105
Who knows, maybe this whole
thing will revitalize Alex.
655
00:37:12,107 --> 00:37:16,902
- I mean, today... pretty fucking great.
- Yeah.
656
00:37:16,904 --> 00:37:18,678
When she does that, you know, she,
657
00:37:18,681 --> 00:37:20,655
like, reaches her arm down that camera
658
00:37:20,657 --> 00:37:24,492
and, like, connects with America,
and that's when she's brilliant.
659
00:37:24,494 --> 00:37:29,956
Agreed. It's just that she's been
"brilliant-light" the last five years.
660
00:37:29,958 --> 00:37:33,168
And it's shown in the
ratings. And I don't know, man.
661
00:37:33,170 --> 00:37:35,378
Maybe she's bored or
complacent with success.
662
00:37:35,380 --> 00:37:38,882
Who cares, really. And now, two of them.
663
00:37:38,884 --> 00:37:42,052
We get to find the new marriage
for America to fall in love with.
664
00:37:42,054 --> 00:37:44,846
- It's kind of exciting.
- Glad you're excited.
665
00:37:44,848 --> 00:37:46,615
We have to get well ahead of YDA.
666
00:37:46,618 --> 00:37:48,576
We can't stand a blow
to the news division.
667
00:37:48,579 --> 00:37:52,395
Broadcast networks can't stand
a blow to anything right now.
668
00:37:52,397 --> 00:37:54,105
- Yeah.
- It's kinda funny
669
00:37:54,107 --> 00:37:57,225
how the entire world of broadcast
670
00:37:57,228 --> 00:38:01,446
could just fall off a
cliff in a few years.
671
00:38:01,448 --> 00:38:04,660
Like, boom. Bang. Lights out.
672
00:38:05,702 --> 00:38:07,079
Unless we reinvent it.
673
00:38:08,205 --> 00:38:11,957
We're all gonna get bought out
by tech unless something changes.
674
00:38:11,959 --> 00:38:13,041
I don't know.
675
00:38:13,043 --> 00:38:15,043
Tech or not,
676
00:38:15,045 --> 00:38:20,220
there will always be a need for
reliable, quality journalism.
677
00:38:23,387 --> 00:38:25,237
People get their horrible news
678
00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:27,889
delivered to the palm
of their hand 24/7,
679
00:38:27,891 --> 00:38:31,142
and they get it the way that they
like it, colored the way they want it.
680
00:38:31,144 --> 00:38:33,186
And news is awful,
681
00:38:33,188 --> 00:38:38,358
but humanity is addicted to it, and
the whole world is depressed by it.
682
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,528
That's why what we really
need on television right now,
683
00:38:41,530 --> 00:38:45,949
it's not news or fucking journalism.
684
00:38:45,951 --> 00:38:49,077
It's entertainment. This is
just like during the Depression,
685
00:38:49,079 --> 00:38:51,454
when people wanted to watch Fred
Astaire and Ginger Rogers dance
686
00:38:51,456 --> 00:38:54,291
on expensive sets and
live in a dream world.
687
00:38:54,293 --> 00:38:56,459
Dream worlds are essential.
688
00:38:56,461 --> 00:38:59,754
Depressed people, they
need escape, you know?
689
00:38:59,756 --> 00:39:04,134
How long do you think the
network rode the sexual chemistry
690
00:39:04,136 --> 00:39:06,136
between Alex and Mitch?
691
00:39:06,138 --> 00:39:08,430
I mean, sure, people wanted
them to be Mom and Dad,
692
00:39:08,432 --> 00:39:10,348
but people also like to be titillated,
693
00:39:10,350 --> 00:39:15,228
and there is some unspoken
sexual fantasy to cohosts, right?
694
00:39:15,230 --> 00:39:16,646
I get it. I get it.
695
00:39:16,648 --> 00:39:18,697
Alex is like Mitch's widow now.
696
00:39:21,153 --> 00:39:24,362
She can't provide that, and I know
you love her and she is your gal,
697
00:39:24,364 --> 00:39:28,408
but, you know, nobody wants
to watch a widow get fucked.
698
00:39:28,410 --> 00:39:30,662
Yeah. Um...
699
00:39:33,373 --> 00:39:35,373
Yeah, it's a cold world.
700
00:39:35,375 --> 00:39:37,920
- Well, it's just the world it is.
- Mm.
701
00:39:42,841 --> 00:39:44,092
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
702
00:39:45,361 --> 00:39:46,512
Good.
703
00:39:52,518 --> 00:39:53,769
Okay.
704
00:39:55,354 --> 00:39:56,438
Thanks.
705
00:39:57,523 --> 00:39:59,024
Oh, my God.
706
00:40:09,117 --> 00:40:11,618
Kessler and his partner, Alex Levy,
707
00:40:11,620 --> 00:40:14,412
had cohosted the show for 15 years.
708
00:40:14,414 --> 00:40:16,456
The two were such a
celebrated institution
709
00:40:16,458 --> 00:40:19,292
that journalists
nationwide are left clueless
710
00:40:19,294 --> 00:40:22,047
as to who could replace
the dad of morning TV.
711
00:41:16,728 --> 00:41:18,187
Fuck you, New York.
712
00:41:26,236 --> 00:41:27,487
Come on.
713
00:41:51,887 --> 00:41:53,720
Ohh.
714
00:42:01,563 --> 00:42:03,313
Can you please bring the car around?
715
00:42:03,315 --> 00:42:04,731
Yes, ma'am.
716
00:42:04,733 --> 00:42:07,194
I'm gonna go in early.
717
00:43:41,997 --> 00:43:44,541
Oh.
718
00:44:22,496 --> 00:44:24,331
Oh, God.
719
00:44:32,589 --> 00:44:36,051
Oh.
720
00:45:11,086 --> 00:45:12,711
So, it's great to have you here.
721
00:45:12,713 --> 00:45:15,255
Oh, and, by the way, I'm Mia Jordan,
I'm gonna be your segment producer.
722
00:45:15,257 --> 00:45:17,007
Bradley. Nice to meet you.
723
00:45:17,009 --> 00:45:18,758
Oh, you want a... You
hungry? Did you eat?
724
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,264
No. I'm okay.
725
00:45:20,265 --> 00:45:22,762
I look forward to you whispering
in my ear to stop fucking up.
726
00:45:25,601 --> 00:45:27,766
You're a pro. I have no worries.
727
00:45:27,769 --> 00:45:31,396
Uh, by the way, have you been to
The Morning Show studio before?
728
00:45:31,398 --> 00:45:33,815
No, but I've been in the
business about 15 years, so...
729
00:45:33,817 --> 00:45:35,736
- Oh, wow.
- It's kinda familiar.
730
00:45:36,570 --> 00:45:39,740
- Anna, this is Bradley. Bradley, Anna.
- Hi there. Nice to meet you.
731
00:45:40,949 --> 00:45:42,949
You know, all studios
are pretty much the same.
732
00:45:42,951 --> 00:45:45,861
Huge adrenaline,
incredible intelligence,
733
00:45:45,864 --> 00:45:48,580
desperate ambition, huge egos.
734
00:45:48,582 --> 00:45:50,624
...round and around, 'cause
all they wanna do is hear...
735
00:45:50,626 --> 00:45:54,002
Guys, please, stop it. Give
me a second, please, guys.
736
00:45:54,004 --> 00:45:55,255
I just wanna watch this.
737
00:45:55,881 --> 00:46:01,092
And there's a human cost! And
it's exhausting! I'm exhausted!
738
00:46:01,094 --> 00:46:06,431
Yeah. Uh, there is no way that she
did not know she was being filmed.
739
00:46:06,433 --> 00:46:08,162
- It's really hard to say.
- Is it?
740
00:46:08,165 --> 00:46:10,268
It doesn't matter. That's not the story.
741
00:46:10,270 --> 00:46:13,355
Two million likes and
counting. That's the story.
742
00:46:13,357 --> 00:46:15,998
Real or not, it struck a nerve.
People wanna believe it's true.
743
00:46:16,001 --> 00:46:18,363
Yeah. Well, people are idiots.
744
00:46:18,364 --> 00:46:21,112
Am I right? That's all
we've been proving lately.
745
00:46:21,114 --> 00:46:23,490
Okay, Alex, I know this has
all been very hard for you.
746
00:46:23,492 --> 00:46:27,285
What is that supposed to
mean? What? Do I look tired?
747
00:46:27,287 --> 00:46:30,455
No. No. You look great. I'm
just saying you don't have to...
748
00:46:30,457 --> 00:46:32,541
- Do I look tired?
- No. Promise.
749
00:46:32,543 --> 00:46:34,876
No, you don't look tired.
Just get through today.
750
00:46:34,878 --> 00:46:38,618
Just do a pleasant little interview
that will make America happy, okay?
751
00:46:38,621 --> 00:46:41,091
I'm worried about you. Just
get through these next few days.
752
00:46:48,767 --> 00:46:50,477
Can I have my celery juice, please?
753
00:46:51,228 --> 00:46:52,437
Of course.
754
00:47:01,405 --> 00:47:03,907
Oh! God, it pisses me off.
755
00:47:05,048 --> 00:47:07,009
Oh, fuck.
756
00:47:10,581 --> 00:47:12,072
Okay.
757
00:47:12,075 --> 00:47:13,498
Oh.
758
00:47:13,500 --> 00:47:16,378
I didn't buy a word of
it. Not one word of it.
759
00:47:29,829 --> 00:47:31,018
Okay.
760
00:47:37,733 --> 00:47:38,859
Oh.
761
00:47:43,864 --> 00:47:46,364
- Ready?
- Yeah. I'm ready.
762
00:47:46,366 --> 00:47:47,910
Okay. Great.
763
00:47:52,581 --> 00:47:54,416
We're gonna have you sit right here.
764
00:47:55,125 --> 00:47:56,625
Okay. Thanks.
765
00:47:56,627 --> 00:47:58,168
Back in 30, everybody.
766
00:47:58,170 --> 00:47:59,213
Okay.
767
00:48:00,839 --> 00:48:03,634
- Hey.
- Hi.
768
00:48:05,385 --> 00:48:07,177
- I'm so sorry.
- Back in 20.
769
00:48:07,179 --> 00:48:08,720
What about?
770
00:48:08,722 --> 00:48:12,142
Just yesterday. That must
have been so difficult for you.
771
00:48:12,759 --> 00:48:15,270
- 'Cause you worked together for so long.
- I'm fine.
772
00:48:16,980 --> 00:48:18,190
Okay.
773
00:48:19,399 --> 00:48:22,943
- In five, four, three...
- Over here?
774
00:48:22,945 --> 00:48:25,113
Start your move. Cue her.
775
00:48:26,573 --> 00:48:28,740
An unusual thing happened yesterday
776
00:48:28,742 --> 00:48:31,993
at a coal mine protest
in Hanover, West Virginia,
777
00:48:31,995 --> 00:48:34,118
when a local reporter's camera operator
778
00:48:34,121 --> 00:48:37,415
was knocked over by an unruly protester.
779
00:48:37,417 --> 00:48:38,792
Let's watch.
780
00:48:38,794 --> 00:48:41,100
Thousands of families
knocked on their asses.
781
00:48:41,103 --> 00:48:43,171
It's a big wheel that goes around.
782
00:48:43,173 --> 00:48:46,424
Liberals add sanctions.
Conservatives remove those sanctions.
783
00:48:46,426 --> 00:48:47,637
And they just keep fighting.
784
00:48:47,638 --> 00:48:50,136
And they just keep going
around and around and around.
785
00:48:50,138 --> 00:48:52,180
'Cause all they wanna do
is hear themselves talk.
786
00:48:52,182 --> 00:48:54,349
And they all want to be
right. And they all wanna win.
787
00:48:54,351 --> 00:48:57,978
And that's all they **** care
about. And there's a human cost!
788
00:48:57,980 --> 00:49:01,314
And it's exhausting! I'm exhausted!
789
00:49:01,316 --> 00:49:03,066
Jesus. Okay, okay, okay.
790
00:49:05,863 --> 00:49:09,364
I am here with Bradley
Jackson from SENN in Virginia.
791
00:49:09,366 --> 00:49:11,157
Hello, Bradley Jackson. Welcome.
792
00:49:11,159 --> 00:49:13,702
Hi. Thank you so much for having me.
793
00:49:13,704 --> 00:49:15,787
You seem a lot more relaxed today.
794
00:49:15,789 --> 00:49:17,517
Yeah, well, this is
a whole lot nicer than
795
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,790
a coal mine protest. I'm not gonna lie.
796
00:49:19,793 --> 00:49:25,129
Well, so, what did happen that day?
Why exactly were you so exhausted?
797
00:49:25,132 --> 00:49:29,634
Well, you know, life in general
is just sort of exhausting.
798
00:49:29,636 --> 00:49:31,178
Mm.
799
00:49:31,180 --> 00:49:32,679
Um...
800
00:49:32,681 --> 00:49:38,643
but, as you know, we reporters,
we see the way the world works,
801
00:49:38,645 --> 00:49:42,898
and sometimes you just want to
get in there and educate people
802
00:49:42,900 --> 00:49:46,193
and stop them from constantly
going in circles with their ideas.
803
00:49:46,195 --> 00:49:49,579
I mean, it's just so
frustrating. It's sad.
804
00:49:49,582 --> 00:49:52,157
So true. So true.
805
00:49:52,159 --> 00:49:54,900
As reporters, we are trained to never
806
00:49:54,903 --> 00:49:58,580
let our personal
emotions enter the story.
807
00:49:58,582 --> 00:50:01,525
What happened yesterday that
made you cross that line?
808
00:50:02,461 --> 00:50:04,920
Well, I wasn't even aware
that I was being filmed.
809
00:50:04,922 --> 00:50:06,392
I was setting up for my story,
810
00:50:06,395 --> 00:50:08,381
and my cameraman was
knocked down by someone,
811
00:50:08,383 --> 00:50:10,842
and something about seeing
him struggling on the ground
812
00:50:10,844 --> 00:50:15,263
made me want to address the
person responsible, so I did.
813
00:50:15,265 --> 00:50:16,932
Mm.
814
00:50:16,934 --> 00:50:20,769
You know a peculiar amount about coal.
815
00:50:20,771 --> 00:50:22,312
Alex, be nice.
816
00:50:22,314 --> 00:50:25,982
Well, yes, I do. I do.
817
00:50:25,984 --> 00:50:28,517
I've actually covered a
lot of coal mine protests,
818
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,003
and I think it's important to know
819
00:50:30,006 --> 00:50:31,655
as much about the subject as possible,
820
00:50:31,657 --> 00:50:34,282
especially when people are literally
fighting each other over it.
821
00:50:34,284 --> 00:50:38,495
Yes, well, America has clearly
connected to that message.
822
00:50:38,497 --> 00:50:40,368
Why do you think that is?
823
00:50:40,371 --> 00:50:43,499
You know, I think America
is tired of Twitter fighting.
824
00:50:43,502 --> 00:50:45,404
It's ignorant, and it's contributing
825
00:50:45,407 --> 00:50:47,254
to the dumbing down of our country.
826
00:50:47,256 --> 00:50:49,350
Parties have created a good side
827
00:50:49,353 --> 00:50:51,967
and a bad side for their own purposes.
828
00:50:51,969 --> 00:50:53,847
And once you villainize someone,
829
00:50:53,848 --> 00:50:56,814
there is nothing left
but go to war with them.
830
00:50:57,473 --> 00:51:02,142
I know that you work at a
conservative news outlet.
831
00:51:02,145 --> 00:51:05,232
What side of that argument
do you personally fall on?
832
00:51:06,483 --> 00:51:08,652
Um, the human side.
833
00:51:10,195 --> 00:51:11,655
What does that mean?
834
00:51:12,489 --> 00:51:14,324
It means I see both sides.
835
00:51:15,075 --> 00:51:18,201
But in leadership,
decisions have to be made.
836
00:51:18,203 --> 00:51:21,955
You can't just have empathy
for everybody and do nothing.
837
00:51:21,957 --> 00:51:23,095
Take it two.
838
00:51:25,586 --> 00:51:28,189
Well, say you're
president. What do you do?
839
00:51:29,173 --> 00:51:31,506
- Well...
- Open or close the coal mine?
840
00:51:31,508 --> 00:51:34,009
I'm just here to deliver
the news to America.
841
00:51:34,011 --> 00:51:36,887
That's all I ever wanted to do.
842
00:51:36,889 --> 00:51:39,423
So you're a die-hard reporter.
843
00:51:39,426 --> 00:51:44,268
I like to think that I am,
yes. The truth matters to me.
844
00:51:44,271 --> 00:51:48,648
What would you say to the idea
that it's a reporter's sacred creed
845
00:51:48,650 --> 00:51:51,860
to never let the story
become about them?
846
00:51:51,862 --> 00:51:54,448
Jesus. Alex. What are
you doing? Stop it.
847
00:51:55,282 --> 00:51:57,367
I would say I agree with that.
848
00:51:58,911 --> 00:52:00,954
And yet this has become about you.
849
00:52:02,748 --> 00:52:03,916
Ah, shit.
850
00:52:04,875 --> 00:52:07,626
As I said before, I didn't
know I was being filmed.
851
00:52:07,628 --> 00:52:09,931
This wasn't part of my live coverage.
852
00:52:09,934 --> 00:52:12,214
Well, there could be some cynical people
853
00:52:12,216 --> 00:52:15,302
who might think that that
was completely set up.
854
00:52:16,261 --> 00:52:17,471
To what end?
855
00:52:18,597 --> 00:52:19,890
You're here.
856
00:52:30,609 --> 00:52:32,905
Well, there are some non-cynical people,
857
00:52:32,908 --> 00:52:35,861
which I believe is most people,
858
00:52:35,864 --> 00:52:37,824
that believe the news is changing.
859
00:52:38,450 --> 00:52:41,743
And the news is changing because
the people who deliver the news,
860
00:52:41,745 --> 00:52:47,165
who showed themselves as honest
and decent and trustworthy,
861
00:52:47,167 --> 00:52:51,505
have in quite a few cases now
proved themselves to be untruthful.
862
00:52:52,430 --> 00:52:54,601
And as a result, I think
people are wanting more
863
00:52:54,604 --> 00:52:56,799
transparency in journalism.
864
00:52:56,802 --> 00:53:00,136
I think they want to know
the person behind the facade.
865
00:53:00,138 --> 00:53:02,618
I think they want to
trust that the person
866
00:53:02,621 --> 00:53:05,724
telling them the truth about the world
867
00:53:05,727 --> 00:53:07,312
is an honest person.
868
00:53:12,985 --> 00:53:14,111
Like you.
869
00:53:16,071 --> 00:53:21,908
Yes. Well, the truth is
what we are all striving for.
870
00:53:21,910 --> 00:53:23,996
Yeah. It is.
871
00:53:24,830 --> 00:53:27,205
Thank you, Bradley Jackson,
for being with us today.
872
00:53:27,207 --> 00:53:29,416
- Thank you so much.
- Of course.
873
00:53:29,418 --> 00:53:33,295
We will be right back with a
surprise secret about vitamin D.
874
00:53:33,297 --> 00:53:35,839
- And we're out.
- Stand by to break.
875
00:53:35,841 --> 00:53:38,280
We're clear. Back in two minutes.
876
00:53:41,763 --> 00:53:44,055
- You're good.
- Thank you.
877
00:53:44,057 --> 00:53:46,059
Good luck in Ham-Hock, Virginia.
878
00:53:48,145 --> 00:53:50,103
Oh, there. Thank you. Okay.
879
00:53:50,105 --> 00:53:51,313
- It was great.
- Yeah?
880
00:53:51,315 --> 00:53:52,397
- Yeah.
- Okay.
881
00:53:52,399 --> 00:53:54,941
- You were awesome.
- Thanks. All right. Thank you.
882
00:53:54,943 --> 00:53:56,151
Nice work.
883
00:53:56,153 --> 00:53:57,196
Bye.
884
00:53:59,448 --> 00:54:02,159
Yeah? All right.
885
00:54:41,031 --> 00:54:42,407
Fucking vultures.
886
00:55:36,128 --> 00:55:38,336
Holy shit.
887
00:55:40,132 --> 00:55:42,799
Whosever in here, get out
before I blow your head off.
888
00:55:42,801 --> 00:55:45,051
Oh, fuck off, Mitch. It's me.
889
00:55:45,053 --> 00:55:47,137
Oh.
890
00:55:47,139 --> 00:55:50,098
Shit.
891
00:55:50,100 --> 00:55:51,474
Alex?
892
00:55:51,476 --> 00:55:53,852
I can't be seen by anybody, so
I had my car drop me in the woods
893
00:55:53,854 --> 00:55:55,063
behind your house.
894
00:55:56,356 --> 00:55:58,939
- You came to see me.
- No.
895
00:55:58,942 --> 00:56:02,321
I came to tell you
that I am so mad at you,
896
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,889
and I will never, ever get over it.
897
00:56:05,892 --> 00:56:07,574
You left me.
898
00:56:07,576 --> 00:56:10,202
Alone on the fucking Morning
Show. You left me alone.
899
00:56:11,954 --> 00:56:13,580
Because you had to fuck around on Paige
900
00:56:13,582 --> 00:56:14,534
because you didn't want to tarnish your
901
00:56:14,536 --> 00:56:16,368
little image and just get a divorce.
902
00:56:16,371 --> 00:56:19,251
Hello, pot. I'd like to
introduce you to kettle.
903
00:56:19,254 --> 00:56:20,933
How can you be mad at me about that?
904
00:56:20,936 --> 00:56:22,839
Are you kidding me? You're so stupid.
905
00:56:22,841 --> 00:56:25,759
- You think I'm mad at you because...
- Oh, Jesus, beat me up. Beat me up.
906
00:56:25,761 --> 00:56:29,095
You really think that that's
what I'm mad about? You idiot.
907
00:56:29,097 --> 00:56:31,322
I'm mad at you because you're selfish.
908
00:56:31,325 --> 00:56:34,975
You're a self-indulgent asshole.
909
00:56:34,978 --> 00:56:37,604
And your philandering has fucked me.
910
00:56:37,606 --> 00:56:43,070
And I'm gonna lose everything,
Mitch. There's no guarantees. Zero.
911
00:56:44,738 --> 00:56:48,990
Our star was built on chemistry,
and you just blew it up.
912
00:56:48,992 --> 00:56:51,201
And why? Why did you do that?
913
00:56:51,203 --> 00:56:53,286
There had to have been a
million and one women out there
914
00:56:53,288 --> 00:56:54,955
who would've gladly sucked your dick
915
00:56:54,957 --> 00:56:56,623
who didn't work on The Morning Show.
916
00:56:56,625 --> 00:56:58,124
- It's not my fault.
- Oh, please.
917
00:56:58,126 --> 00:57:02,087
- They were consensual affairs, Alex.
- Mitch, you're such a fucking moron.
918
00:57:02,089 --> 00:57:04,089
I think that you're jealous
because of our history.
919
00:57:04,091 --> 00:57:07,968
- Your fucking ego. Oh, my God, Mitch.
- 'Cause we had a thing.
920
00:57:07,970 --> 00:57:09,177
That fucking ego of yours.
921
00:57:09,179 --> 00:57:12,430
You really think that because of
the two times you got on top of me
922
00:57:12,432 --> 00:57:16,226
meant that much to me that
that's what I'm pissed about?
923
00:57:16,228 --> 00:57:20,732
You're so stupid. God. Oh.
924
00:57:36,748 --> 00:57:38,917
You stole my life with this.
925
00:57:40,384 --> 00:57:44,013
You left me in the woods
with a... pack of wolves.
926
00:57:45,007 --> 00:57:50,804
I live a really strange existence,
Mitch, and it's isolated as shit.
927
00:57:52,139 --> 00:57:57,352
I gave up everything for this show.
Any chance of having a normal life.
928
00:57:59,251 --> 00:58:01,982
And you just put me in
a position of losing it.
929
00:58:04,693 --> 00:58:10,073
Everything. Of having
nothing. Of having no one.
930
00:58:15,537 --> 00:58:19,875
You're my partner.
Fifteen years my partner.
931
00:58:21,293 --> 00:58:25,672
And my only real companion, who
knew my life in such vivid detail.
932
00:58:27,216 --> 00:58:29,228
Because you're... It's your life too.
933
00:58:30,260 --> 00:58:31,553
I'm so sorry.
934
00:58:33,514 --> 00:58:35,555
We lived a life that
we're never gonna get back.
935
00:58:35,557 --> 00:58:37,265
And you're not my husband,
936
00:58:37,267 --> 00:58:40,310
and you're not my lover,
and you're not my family,
937
00:58:40,312 --> 00:58:41,978
and now you can't be my friend.
938
00:58:41,980 --> 00:58:43,104
Why can't I be?
939
00:58:43,106 --> 00:58:45,440
Because what you did was wrong!
940
00:58:45,442 --> 00:58:50,779
Alex, you knew these people. You
know that I didn't coerce anybody.
941
00:58:50,781 --> 00:58:52,087
This is Weinstein's fault.
942
00:58:52,090 --> 00:58:53,740
Please don't say that. It's so ignorant.
943
00:58:53,742 --> 00:58:56,995
Jesus, Alex. I didn't do
anything wrong. I didn't.
944
00:59:02,151 --> 00:59:03,694
What happened to your TV?
945
00:59:05,094 --> 00:59:06,554
We had a disagreement.
946
00:59:26,316 --> 00:59:28,277
I'm sorry you're such an asshole.
947
00:59:30,736 --> 00:59:31,947
Me too.
948
00:59:33,938 --> 00:59:36,483
I wouldn't use those two
words together if I were you.
949
00:59:44,501 --> 00:59:46,334
I have to go. I have to leave.
950
00:59:46,336 --> 00:59:48,255
No, don't. I don't want you to go.
951
00:59:49,131 --> 00:59:50,213
I have to go.
952
00:59:50,215 --> 00:59:53,383
- No, don't go. I want you to stay, please.
- I have to go. No.
953
00:59:53,385 --> 00:59:54,593
I don't wanna be alone.
954
00:59:54,595 --> 00:59:56,097
Just stay for a little while.
955
00:59:56,098 --> 00:59:58,722
Alex, please, come on.
This could blow over.
956
00:59:58,724 --> 01:00:01,602
- Oh, this is so never gonna blow over.
- Alex.
957
01:00:02,853 --> 01:00:05,009
Alex, they were going to replace you!
958
01:00:06,773 --> 01:00:08,773
What?
959
01:00:08,775 --> 01:00:10,653
They came to me.
960
01:00:10,654 --> 01:00:13,876
They said YDA was nipping
at our heels in the ratings.
961
01:00:14,892 --> 01:00:16,658
And they wanted to make a change.
962
01:00:18,103 --> 01:00:19,578
I don't believe you.
963
01:00:21,121 --> 01:00:23,439
You're just trying to fuck with my head
964
01:00:23,442 --> 01:00:25,832
because you're destroyed
and you want me destroyed.
965
01:00:25,834 --> 01:00:28,460
- No, no. I wanna save you.
- Oh.
966
01:00:28,462 --> 01:00:30,295
- Alex, don't go.
- I don't believe you!
967
01:00:30,297 --> 01:00:33,173
Just stay! I've got a gun!
968
01:00:33,175 --> 01:00:35,177
Great! Have fun with that!
969
01:00:51,443 --> 01:00:52,943
Bradley Jackson here.
970
01:00:52,945 --> 01:00:56,863
This is Cory Ellison. I'm the
president of the UBA network.
971
01:00:56,865 --> 01:00:59,908
I saw you on The Morning Show.
972
01:00:59,910 --> 01:01:02,035
How would you like to
come meet me for a drink
973
01:01:02,037 --> 01:01:05,457
at the Archer Gray right now
and talk about your future?
974
01:01:07,167 --> 01:01:08,500
"My future"?
975
01:01:08,502 --> 01:01:11,380
What is this, my big break?
976
01:01:12,651 --> 01:01:15,221
Well, I suppose, that's up to you.
