1
00:00:00,711 --> 00:00:05,297
Fred, what happened?
2
00:00:05,299 --> 00:00:09,385
Good morning. Mitch Kessler,
my cohost and partner of 15 years,
3
00:00:09,387 --> 00:00:11,470
was fired today for sexual misconduct.
4
00:00:11,472 --> 00:00:16,767
My on-air partner, my TV husband,
is a sexual predator now?
5
00:00:16,769 --> 00:00:22,106
I didn't rape anybody!
6
00:00:22,108 --> 00:00:24,691
Hannah, you said you were looking
for stories about strong women tomorrow.
7
00:00:24,693 --> 00:00:26,610
Well, check this out.
8
00:00:26,612 --> 00:00:27,694
Yeah?
9
00:00:27,696 --> 00:00:30,196
You know you have over
a million views on your video?
10
00:00:30,198 --> 00:00:33,242
We wanna interview you
about why the video is going viral.
11
00:00:33,244 --> 00:00:34,785
The Morning Show?
12
00:00:34,787 --> 00:00:36,662
I'm exhausted!
13
00:00:36,664 --> 00:00:38,747
You seem a lot more relaxed today.
14
00:00:38,749 --> 00:00:41,458
Yeah, well, this is a whole lot nicer
than a coal mine protest,
15
00:00:41,460 --> 00:00:42,960
I'm not gonna lie.
16
00:00:42,962 --> 00:00:44,712
I think people want to trust
that the person
17
00:00:44,714 --> 00:00:48,132
that is telling them the truth
about the world is an honest person.
18
00:00:48,134 --> 00:00:51,385
This is Cory Ellison.
I'm the president of the UBA network.
19
00:00:51,387 --> 00:00:53,512
How would you like to come
and meet me for a drink
20
00:00:53,514 --> 00:00:55,097
and talk about your future?
21
00:00:55,099 --> 00:00:56,974
Alex, they were going to replace you.
22
00:00:56,976 --> 00:00:58,183
- What?
- He came to me.
23
00:00:58,185 --> 00:00:59,893
They said they wanted to make a change.
24
00:00:59,895 --> 00:01:11,188
I don't believe you.
25
00:02:47,722 --> 00:02:52,722

26
00:04:06,317 --> 00:04:10,110
Bradley Jackson. Thank you so much for
coming to meet me on such short notice.
27
00:04:10,112 --> 00:04:12,904
Come on. You're the head
of two divisions of a network.
28
00:04:12,906 --> 00:04:16,783
You don't have to pretend to appreciate me
dropping everything to show up.
29
00:04:16,785 --> 00:04:18,827
You expect that, right?
30
00:04:18,829 --> 00:04:22,956
I'll have bourbon on the rocks. Thanks.
31
00:04:22,958 --> 00:04:27,836
So, what's this about?
Late night meeting at a hotel...
32
00:04:27,838 --> 00:04:30,672
No, you see, sorry,
I'm one of those strange guys
33
00:04:30,674 --> 00:04:33,300
who only likes sleeping with women
who are actually attracted to him.
34
00:04:33,302 --> 00:04:34,676
So, no, I'm not hitting on you.
35
00:04:34,678 --> 00:04:36,303
- You see that woman over there?
- Yeah.
36
00:04:36,305 --> 00:04:39,765
That's Cecily.
She's my New York assistant.
37
00:04:39,767 --> 00:04:41,808
I'm sleeping with her.
38
00:04:41,810 --> 00:04:43,352
Okay.
39
00:04:43,354 --> 00:04:46,104
That was a joke.
40
00:04:46,106 --> 00:04:48,106
I'm not worried. I don't scare easily.
41
00:04:48,108 --> 00:04:50,192
- Well, that's abundantly clear.
- Thank you.
42
00:04:50,194 --> 00:04:52,235
- Thank you.
- I guess they know you here.
43
00:04:52,237 --> 00:04:54,529
Yeah, I come here a lot.
44
00:04:54,531 --> 00:04:58,033
So, Bradley, what is your story?
45
00:04:58,035 --> 00:04:59,409
- My story?
- Yeah.
46
00:04:59,411 --> 00:05:02,788
Who knows? I mean, it's probably
the same as a lot of people's stories.
47
00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:05,832
Kid grows up in the country
around a bunch of cows and cornfields
48
00:05:05,834 --> 00:05:10,962
and dreams of a life that's less about
manure and more about ideas,
49
00:05:10,964 --> 00:05:12,839
things that matter.
50
00:05:12,841 --> 00:05:18,387
Only to grow up and realize
manure matters a whole lot.
51
00:05:18,389 --> 00:05:22,975
Actually, I don't think that's
the same as a lot of stories at all.
52
00:05:22,977 --> 00:05:25,686
What's your story?
53
00:05:25,688 --> 00:05:27,562
I'm probably
not supposed to ask you questions
54
00:05:27,564 --> 00:05:31,900
'cause you're technically important,
but... What the hell? You know?
55
00:05:31,902 --> 00:05:34,111
Wow, being "technically important"
is about the best description
56
00:05:34,113 --> 00:05:36,238
of a network executive I've ever heard.
57
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,200
What is my story? Smart kid,
dad left, I took care of my mom,
58
00:05:40,202 --> 00:05:45,038
I vowed to own the world one day
and kick everyone's ass into submission.
59
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,040
How's that working out for you?
60
00:05:47,042 --> 00:05:49,626
Pretty well, actually.
61
00:05:49,628 --> 00:05:50,711
Well, cheers to that.
62
00:05:50,713 --> 00:05:54,548
Hell, yeah.
63
00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:57,342
So, what do you want from me?
64
00:05:57,344 --> 00:05:58,927
Do you treat every business meeting
65
00:05:58,929 --> 00:06:00,887
like you're being interrogated
by an enemy camp?
66
00:06:00,889 --> 00:06:04,766
If you're even a little smart, you know
that's what all business meetings are.
67
00:06:04,768 --> 00:06:10,814
Then why aren't you further along in your
career at this point, if you're so savvy?
68
00:06:10,816 --> 00:06:14,401
"At this point"? You mean I'm too old
to be the young, feisty journalist?
69
00:06:14,403 --> 00:06:17,154
I should have landed somewhere
more substantial by now?
70
00:06:17,156 --> 00:06:19,281
Maybe.
71
00:06:19,283 --> 00:06:21,366
You're incredibly smart,
you're interesting,
72
00:06:21,368 --> 00:06:24,036
you've got that "it" thing we're always
looking for in this business.
73
00:06:24,038 --> 00:06:28,457
What is it? What's held you back?
74
00:06:28,459 --> 00:06:30,042
I don't know.
75
00:06:30,044 --> 00:06:32,961
I mean, probably what you see
as something "fresh" in me
76
00:06:32,963 --> 00:06:35,172
is probably what held me back.
77
00:06:35,174 --> 00:06:37,632
I don't think like other people.
78
00:06:37,634 --> 00:06:41,720
I say whatever I mean. I don't play games.
I don't fit the mold.
79
00:06:41,722 --> 00:06:43,305
What mold is that?
80
00:06:43,307 --> 00:06:44,598
Any mold, really.
81
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,725
Oh, right. A weirdo.
82
00:06:46,727 --> 00:06:50,520
- What?
- I don't mean that in a bad way.
83
00:06:50,522 --> 00:06:55,734
You just wanted to meet me in person
to see if I was crazy or not.
84
00:06:55,736 --> 00:06:57,736
I can see why you do good interviews.
85
00:06:57,738 --> 00:06:59,196
Thanks, I do.
86
00:06:59,198 --> 00:07:02,032
So,
aside from wondering if you were crazy,
87
00:07:02,034 --> 00:07:04,117
here's the other reason that
I wanted to meet you:
88
00:07:04,119 --> 00:07:10,874
I think we might be able to use you as
a field correspondent on The Morning Show.
89
00:07:10,876 --> 00:07:12,751
What, you might be able to?
90
00:07:12,753 --> 00:07:15,796
Well,
I've looked into your past a little bit.
91
00:07:15,798 --> 00:07:20,217
You have moved jobs a lot. You have
a bit of a colorful local history...
92
00:07:20,219 --> 00:07:23,929
Okay, Two-Fucks Jackson is...
I can explain that...
93
00:07:23,931 --> 00:07:25,597
"Two-Fucks" what?
94
00:07:25,599 --> 00:07:27,849
- What?
- What? No, I said it first.
95
00:07:27,851 --> 00:07:29,685
No, I was just kidding.
96
00:07:29,687 --> 00:07:31,770
I definitely wanna hear
about Two-Fucks Jackson.
97
00:07:31,772 --> 00:07:33,313
But right now...
98
00:07:33,315 --> 00:07:37,526
right now I'm just trying to decide
if I should give you a chance.
99
00:07:37,528 --> 00:07:41,154
I wanna use this Mitch Kessler scandal
to reinvent ourselves.
100
00:07:41,156 --> 00:07:44,282
I want smart people
with fresh perspectives.
101
00:07:44,284 --> 00:07:46,410
Are you offering me a job right now?
102
00:07:46,412 --> 00:07:48,912
Well,
I don't wanna step on my producer's toes,
103
00:07:48,914 --> 00:07:51,832
but I have arranged a meeting for you
with Charlie Black tomorrow.
104
00:07:51,834 --> 00:07:53,500
He's the executive producer
of The Morning Show.
105
00:07:53,502 --> 00:07:55,085
- I know who he is.
- Course you do.
106
00:07:55,087 --> 00:07:58,255
Can you be ready for a 9:30 meeting
tomorrow morning?
107
00:07:58,257 --> 00:08:01,925
I can do that.
108
00:08:01,927 --> 00:08:03,093
Good.
109
00:08:03,095 --> 00:08:04,261
Thank you for this.
110
00:08:04,263 --> 00:08:06,430
That's it? I don't get to hear
about Two-Fucks Jackson?
111
00:08:06,432 --> 00:08:10,017
Another night. I gotta start prepping.
I take my work really seriously.
112
00:08:10,019 --> 00:08:12,352
- I knew I liked you.
- Hey.
113
00:08:12,354 --> 00:08:23,689
You don't know me.
114
00:08:39,006 --> 00:08:41,006
Jason.
115
00:08:41,008 --> 00:08:42,549
What are you doing here?
116
00:08:42,551 --> 00:08:45,135
You cannot just
come over like this anymore.
117
00:08:45,137 --> 00:08:46,511
Alex, for fuck's sake,
118
00:08:46,513 --> 00:08:49,389
I have had our daughter on the phone,
freaking out,
119
00:08:49,391 --> 00:08:51,933
asking if I know where you are.
120
00:08:51,935 --> 00:08:54,144
Okay, well, here I am.
121
00:08:54,146 --> 00:08:56,188
I'm home, and I'm fine.
122
00:08:56,190 --> 00:08:59,232
I'll call Lizzy, and
I'll tell her that I'm fine. Thank you.
123
00:08:59,234 --> 00:09:01,485
Where have you been?
124
00:09:01,487 --> 00:09:04,196
I was just... I couldn't sleep.
125
00:09:04,198 --> 00:09:09,743
I couldn't sleep,
so I just went for a walk in the park.
126
00:09:09,745 --> 00:09:11,870
You went for a walk in the park
in the middle of the night?
127
00:09:11,872 --> 00:09:13,455
- Yeah.
- In the rain?
128
00:09:13,457 --> 00:09:15,290
Well...
129
00:09:15,292 --> 00:09:17,376
- What is going on with you, Alex?
- What...
130
00:09:17,378 --> 00:09:20,379
- Are you okay?
- Yes. I'm okay.
131
00:09:20,381 --> 00:09:23,715
I went for a walk
in the middle of the night.
132
00:09:23,717 --> 00:09:27,469
When else can I go for a walk in the park
without anybody bothering me?
133
00:09:27,471 --> 00:09:29,221
Why are you looking at me like that? I...
134
00:09:29,223 --> 00:09:32,516
Please, I've had the worst day of my life.
135
00:09:32,518 --> 00:09:36,478
I haven't had a chance to process
anything. So I went for a fucking walk.
136
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,814
- Okay, okay. Good. Yes.
- It's fine.
137
00:09:38,816 --> 00:09:43,652
I will see you tomorrow night
for the event.
138
00:09:43,654 --> 00:09:44,861
The fucking event.
139
00:09:44,863 --> 00:09:47,197
Yes. I'm looking forward to it as well.
140
00:09:47,199 --> 00:09:58,701
- Are you?
- Yeah. Good night.
141
00:11:40,604 --> 00:11:42,938
Okay.
142
00:11:42,940 --> 00:11:54,650
Oh, fuck.
143
00:12:05,713 --> 00:12:15,387
Oh, God.
144
00:12:15,389 --> 00:12:17,097
I pushed all your calls
because after the show
145
00:12:17,099 --> 00:12:19,808
you'll meet with the UBA PR team
to review your speech for tonight.
146
00:12:19,810 --> 00:12:21,893
- They reviewed that last week.
- It's from Fred's office.
147
00:12:21,895 --> 00:12:24,438
Can't wait to see you get that award.
I just got a new dress for it.
148
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,981
I can't wait to see it.
149
00:12:25,983 --> 00:12:28,317
Hair and makeup at your house at 3:00.
I put it in your calendar.
150
00:12:28,319 --> 00:12:30,068
I don't care if it came
from Fred's office.
151
00:12:30,070 --> 00:12:32,821
I know what I wanna say,
and I don't need them rewriting it today.
152
00:12:32,823 --> 00:12:34,614
Please go call them.
153
00:12:34,616 --> 00:12:37,242
You can't blame them for being
a little nervous about your speech.
154
00:12:37,244 --> 00:12:39,911
This is the first time you're in public
since this whole thing happened.
155
00:12:39,913 --> 00:12:43,457
Wait. What? You mean you think accepting
an award for leadership in journalism
156
00:12:43,459 --> 00:12:49,463
two days after my cohost of 15 years
is fired for predatory behavior is touchy?
157
00:12:49,465 --> 00:12:52,758
That event is gonna be a roomful
of vultures waiting for you to fuck up...
158
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,844
Why are you stressing me out like this?
Honestly.
159
00:12:55,846 --> 00:12:58,388
Why don't you just give me a stroke
by 7:00? Then I won't have to go.
160
00:12:58,390 --> 00:12:59,723
I need to get out of this!
161
00:12:59,725 --> 00:13:01,099
I understand. But I...
162
00:13:01,101 --> 00:13:05,520
- I need this.
- Okay.
163
00:13:05,522 --> 00:13:06,605
Hey, Sarah.
164
00:13:06,607 --> 00:13:08,273
Did you call me at 4:00 this morning?
165
00:13:08,275 --> 00:13:11,401
I just woke up
and saw this message flashing.
166
00:13:11,403 --> 00:13:13,028
Yeah.
167
00:13:13,030 --> 00:13:18,283
Okay... I need to ask you something.
168
00:13:18,285 --> 00:13:20,494
In your opinion,
169
00:13:20,496 --> 00:13:26,208
the way that the network has been dragging
their feet on closing my new deal...
170
00:13:26,210 --> 00:13:29,503
does that suggest...
171
00:13:29,505 --> 00:13:33,090
anything unusual going on?
172
00:13:33,092 --> 00:13:35,509
Like what?
173
00:13:35,511 --> 00:13:37,928
Like...
174
00:13:37,930 --> 00:13:41,390
them trying to replace me?
175
00:13:41,392 --> 00:13:43,225
Or thinking about replacing me?
176
00:13:43,227 --> 00:13:45,936
Well, it's never a good thing.
177
00:13:45,938 --> 00:13:49,773
But it doesn't necessarily mean
anything like that.
178
00:13:49,775 --> 00:13:52,442
The good news is you have them
by the short hairs now.
179
00:13:52,444 --> 00:13:55,487
They need you in a big way.
180
00:13:55,489 --> 00:14:01,410
Okay, you gotta get that deal closed. And
I want every single thing we asked for.
181
00:14:01,412 --> 00:14:02,494
Are you all right?
182
00:14:02,496 --> 00:14:03,829
I'm fine. I'm fine.
183
00:14:03,831 --> 00:14:05,872
Why does everyone keep asking me that?
184
00:14:05,874 --> 00:14:08,959
I just want what I asked for.
185
00:14:08,961 --> 00:14:12,838
And the most important thing
is cohost approval.
186
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,590
Sarah, I just need to be able
to control the narrative
187
00:14:15,592 --> 00:14:18,218
so that I'm not written out of it.
188
00:14:18,220 --> 00:14:20,429
Alex, why are you afraid of this
all of a sudden?
189
00:14:20,431 --> 00:14:22,014
It's just a feeling.
190
00:14:22,016 --> 00:14:24,558
But it is really, really important.
191
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,643
Cohost approval.
192
00:14:26,645 --> 00:14:29,021
You gotta push that through.
And I mean it.
193
00:14:29,023 --> 00:14:30,605
Get that.
194
00:14:30,607 --> 00:14:33,191
And I wanna hear the minute
that you hear back from them
195
00:14:33,193 --> 00:14:36,486
and not when you feel that I can hear it.
196
00:14:36,488 --> 00:14:37,571
Okay?
197
00:14:37,573 --> 00:14:44,411
Okay.
198
00:14:44,413 --> 00:14:45,495
Yeah. Right.
199
00:14:45,497 --> 00:14:48,373
I never sent a message
that I thought was inappropriate.
200
00:14:48,375 --> 00:14:51,084
These women who have come forward
did think it was inappropriate.
201
00:14:51,086 --> 00:14:55,922
Do you think that that's valid?
Do you think their response is valid?
202
00:14:55,924 --> 00:14:57,758
Of course.
203
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,219
But these women never complained to me
about this behavior.
204
00:15:01,221 --> 00:15:02,721
Yes, but you were their boss.
205
00:15:02,723 --> 00:15:04,931
You were in a position of authority.
206
00:15:04,933 --> 00:15:07,601
Do you think that you created
an environment
207
00:15:07,603 --> 00:15:12,397
where they felt comfortable
coming forward?
208
00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:16,068
Hey. What are you... No, no.
209
00:15:16,070 --> 00:15:18,362
- We can't do this here.
- But, Daddy, I want it now.
210
00:15:18,364 --> 00:15:20,364
- Come on, no.
- Give it to me, Daddy.
211
00:15:20,366 --> 00:15:23,450
- Please, Daddy.
- Come on, no Veruca Salt today. Not here.
212
00:15:23,452 --> 00:15:26,870
- Come on.
- Give me what I want. Give me...
213
00:15:26,872 --> 00:15:28,997
Claire.
214
00:15:28,999 --> 00:15:31,625
- You don't get to say no, remember?
- Claire, please.
215
00:15:31,627 --> 00:15:34,044
You want me to stop,
you're gonna have to use the safe word.
216
00:15:34,046 --> 00:15:38,340
Okay, "climate change."
217
00:15:38,342 --> 00:15:49,893
- You are serious.
- I am. I'm dead serious. All right?
218
00:15:49,895 --> 00:15:51,395
Okay. Come on.
219
00:15:51,397 --> 00:15:54,064
No locked doors, okay? You know
how bad that would look with you...
220
00:15:54,066 --> 00:15:55,941
Couldn't we be having
a private conversation?
221
00:15:55,943 --> 00:15:58,360
- Come on.
- You know, I need advice about my career.
222
00:15:58,362 --> 00:15:59,820
You don't need a locked door for that.
223
00:15:59,822 --> 00:16:02,948
You don't need a locked door
except for one thing.
224
00:16:02,950 --> 00:16:05,575
You know you and I are something
different from... Right?
225
00:16:05,577 --> 00:16:11,039
I know that, and you know that.
Nobody else would know that.
226
00:16:11,041 --> 00:16:15,085
Come on, we have to be so fucking careful.
227
00:16:15,087 --> 00:16:17,629
Or we go to HR right now
and just tell 'em.
228
00:16:17,631 --> 00:16:20,632
Well, that would be mortifying.
229
00:16:20,634 --> 00:16:24,177
I mean, what would it look like?
230
00:16:24,179 --> 00:16:28,557
You mean that I'm having
a serious relationship
231
00:16:28,559 --> 00:16:31,351
with a woman half my age who is the PA?
232
00:16:31,353 --> 00:16:35,856
You think that might seem bad?
233
00:16:35,858 --> 00:16:38,275
What are you saying?
234
00:16:38,277 --> 00:16:40,319
- Hey. What's up? Good morning.
- Morning.
235
00:16:40,321 --> 00:16:42,696
- You ready for me?
- Yeah, of course. Come on in.
236
00:16:42,698 --> 00:16:44,698
Come on and get...
Thank you. You can leave that here.
237
00:16:44,700 --> 00:16:45,782
Oh, yeah. Of course.
238
00:16:45,784 --> 00:16:48,327
Thanks for researching the volcano info.
I really appreciate that.
239
00:16:48,329 --> 00:16:52,247
Yeah, cool. Let me know if anything else
erupts that you need me to do research on.
240
00:16:52,249 --> 00:16:54,791
- Will do. You got it.
- Good.
241
00:16:54,793 --> 00:16:57,419
But more importantly,
and most importantly,
242
00:16:57,421 --> 00:16:59,212
we want to ensure
a safe working environment
243
00:16:59,214 --> 00:17:02,341
for everyone who works
on The Morning Show.
244
00:17:02,343 --> 00:17:05,469
No one here knew what
was going on right under our noses.
245
00:17:05,471 --> 00:17:08,096
The next few weeks are gonna be rough.
We are clearly in triage.
246
00:17:08,098 --> 00:17:11,725
We need to be stabilized
by the time sweeps start. That's in...
247
00:17:11,727 --> 00:17:13,935
- Three weeks.
- Right.
248
00:17:13,937 --> 00:17:16,355
I won't lie to you, we are in a bad place.
249
00:17:16,357 --> 00:17:18,190
Jobs, the show,
250
00:17:18,192 --> 00:17:21,109
the network itself
literally hang in the balance.
251
00:17:21,111 --> 00:17:24,446
- It's not, though.
- These guys, Your Day, America...
252
00:17:24,448 --> 00:17:26,948
Dangerously close to us in the ratings.
253
00:17:26,950 --> 00:17:30,452
And that isn't bullshit, that is ad money.
254
00:17:30,454 --> 00:17:33,747
Ad money that supports this network,
supports your jobs...
255
00:17:33,749 --> 00:17:36,249
supports your families.
256
00:17:36,251 --> 00:17:39,961
We're gonna be working round the clock at
the network to find America's new family,
257
00:17:39,963 --> 00:17:45,175
and I expect all and everything
from each one of you in the meantime.
258
00:17:45,177 --> 00:17:53,433
Great, thank you so much, Fred.
All right, everybody, let's get to it.
259
00:17:53,435 --> 00:17:55,102
Where are we with her deal?
260
00:17:55,104 --> 00:17:57,980
She's holding on cohost approval.
But we're handling it.
261
00:17:57,982 --> 00:18:00,565
Jesus. She's delusional.
262
00:18:00,567 --> 00:18:03,735
Start putting together a list of names,
men who can sit next to Alex for now
263
00:18:03,737 --> 00:18:06,947
and also work with someone younger
once she's gone.
264
00:18:06,949 --> 00:18:09,574
Maybe a couple of women too,
for optics in case it leaks.
265
00:18:09,576 --> 00:18:16,206
Couple of days ahead of you. The list
is already in progress. Anything else?
266
00:18:16,208 --> 00:18:19,001
You know,
when you were assigned the news division,
267
00:18:19,003 --> 00:18:23,547
we didn't know we would be facing
the biggest crisis in our history.
268
00:18:23,549 --> 00:18:28,260
Some people would say
maybe you should have.
269
00:18:28,262 --> 00:18:30,052
I know what you're doing.
270
00:18:30,054 --> 00:18:33,598
The fact that you just started here
doesn't give you the leverage you think.
271
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,311
I'm not looking for leverage, Fred,
I'm just stating the obvious.
272
00:18:37,313 --> 00:18:41,815
It would have been better if we knew,
so we could have stopped it.
273
00:18:41,817 --> 00:18:47,446
But we didn't know. Right?
274
00:18:47,448 --> 00:18:58,574
Right.
275
00:18:59,084 --> 00:19:01,376
- Fucker.
- Hey, I got something good.
276
00:19:01,378 --> 00:19:02,461
Yeah? What's up?
277
00:19:02,463 --> 00:19:07,466
I got some insider info. YDA booked
one of Mitch's victims for next week.
278
00:19:07,468 --> 00:19:09,760
- Who?
- Ashley Brown.
279
00:19:09,762 --> 00:19:12,095
Ashley in sound tech?
Jesus, it's been a while.
280
00:19:12,097 --> 00:19:13,722
You think you can get her back here
after all that?
281
00:19:13,724 --> 00:19:15,849
I'm gonna pull out all the stops.
282
00:19:15,851 --> 00:19:19,186
I know this is huge for us. You have no
idea what I already did to get this info.
283
00:19:19,188 --> 00:19:21,563
You know what? Please don't tell me that.
I really don't want...
284
00:19:21,565 --> 00:19:23,440
Okay, fine.
I found it in a fortune cookie.
285
00:19:23,442 --> 00:19:27,152
Sorry. You're right.
This is obviously huge.
286
00:19:27,154 --> 00:19:32,199
YDA can't be booking one of our victims
for a million fucking reasons.
287
00:19:32,201 --> 00:19:33,700
Do whatever you have to do.
288
00:19:33,702 --> 00:19:34,785
I'm on it, boss.
289
00:19:34,787 --> 00:19:37,287
- Rena.
- Yes?
290
00:19:37,289 --> 00:19:39,873
Where is today's schedule?
291
00:19:39,875 --> 00:19:40,957
I'm looking for it...
292
00:19:40,959 --> 00:19:43,835
You mean this one that says
"today's schedule"?
293
00:19:43,837 --> 00:19:46,129
- Yes. Fuck you very much.
- No problem.
294
00:19:46,131 --> 00:19:48,006
Thank you.
295
00:19:48,008 --> 00:19:50,550
"Seven..." Why are we doing this in sev...
296
00:19:50,552 --> 00:19:52,260
Rena, can you get Mia?
297
00:19:52,262 --> 00:19:54,346
Only seven fucking minutes to do this...
298
00:19:54,348 --> 00:19:56,264
Hey, how you hanging in there?
299
00:19:56,266 --> 00:19:58,308
I can't feel my body I'm so stressed out.
300
00:19:58,310 --> 00:20:01,603
I'm like a brain floating in space
with a phone in my hand.
301
00:20:01,605 --> 00:20:04,815
That sounds about right. Listen,
I want you to meet Bradley Jackson today.
302
00:20:04,817 --> 00:20:09,152
Wait. Bradley Jackson who did the show
yesterday? What the hell for?
303
00:20:09,154 --> 00:20:12,030
We're gonna be grooming
some new people, trying different things.
304
00:20:12,032 --> 00:20:14,366
It is a good time to start
grooming some new people,
305
00:20:14,368 --> 00:20:18,161
and I think she'd be a good correspondent,
possibly.
306
00:20:18,163 --> 00:20:21,748
Yeah. No, I understand it's always good
to be grooming people, but...
307
00:20:21,750 --> 00:20:23,709
I mean, right now?
308
00:20:23,711 --> 00:20:27,087
Plus, you saw her viral video, right?
I mean, a correspondent? I don't...
309
00:20:27,089 --> 00:20:29,339
I did see it.
310
00:20:29,341 --> 00:20:31,508
I saw it,
and so did five million other people,
311
00:20:31,510 --> 00:20:33,927
because it was incredibly
fucking entertaining.
312
00:20:33,929 --> 00:20:36,722
She also went toe-to-toe with Alex Levy.
313
00:20:36,724 --> 00:20:40,517
Not easy to do.
We need to open our minds, Chipper.
314
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:44,229
Come on. What's worked in the past
isn't working now.
315
00:20:44,231 --> 00:20:49,192
My office set it for 9:30.
Let me know how it goes.
316
00:20:49,194 --> 00:20:56,742
- Great.
- Good.
317
00:20:56,744 --> 00:21:01,788
Yep.
318
00:21:01,790 --> 00:21:05,125
No.
319
00:21:05,127 --> 00:21:08,962
Push back.
320
00:21:08,964 --> 00:21:13,550
No coanchor approval.
321
00:21:13,552 --> 00:21:21,058
It's never gonna happen.
322
00:21:21,060 --> 00:21:25,103
No. We're still on schedule. I'm gonna get
your car to take you for your mani-pedi.
323
00:21:25,105 --> 00:21:26,605
- Okay, good.
- You like Julie, right?
324
00:21:26,607 --> 00:21:28,106
- Yeah, she's fine.
- She does great work.
325
00:21:28,108 --> 00:21:30,734
And is Lizzy all set for after school?
326
00:21:30,736 --> 00:21:33,737
Yes, she is. She's gonna meet you there
and she's very excited.
327
00:21:33,739 --> 00:21:34,821
Okay, good.
328
00:21:34,823 --> 00:21:35,947
- Last looks!
- Hi, good morning.
329
00:21:35,949 --> 00:21:37,199
Revised pages. Here.
330
00:21:37,201 --> 00:21:39,201
- Sarah calling. Now? No?
- Thank you.
331
00:21:39,203 --> 00:21:40,285
- Sorry?
- Here's Sarah.
332
00:21:40,287 --> 00:21:42,329
Oh, yes, now.
333
00:21:42,331 --> 00:21:44,581
Sorry. Thank you.
334
00:21:44,583 --> 00:21:47,751
Hey, Sarah, I'm just about to go on air.
Did they cave?
335
00:21:47,753 --> 00:21:50,003
No. They're sticking to their guns.
336
00:21:50,005 --> 00:21:53,131
No cohost approval.
337
00:21:53,133 --> 00:21:57,844
I'm gonna call you back after the show.
338
00:21:57,846 --> 00:22:09,139
Can you hold that?
339
00:22:10,025 --> 00:22:11,441
Alex, where are you going?
340
00:22:11,443 --> 00:22:13,610
Alex, do you need something?
341
00:22:13,612 --> 00:22:16,446
- Is everything okay?
- I'm all good.
342
00:22:16,448 --> 00:22:19,199
- Okay, well, he can't go from...
- Hey.
343
00:22:19,201 --> 00:22:20,993
What are you doing?
We're live in 90 seconds.
344
00:22:20,995 --> 00:22:23,578
I need to talk to Chip.
I need to talk to you.
345
00:22:23,580 --> 00:22:25,914
What is happening? 'Cause you're supposed
to be on the air in, like, a minute.
346
00:22:25,916 --> 00:22:28,375
- Yeah, listen. Hey, hey...
- What?
347
00:22:28,377 --> 00:22:32,129
I need your word that
you will wrap up my negotiation.
348
00:22:32,131 --> 00:22:33,255
I know you're scared, okay.
349
00:22:33,257 --> 00:22:35,382
The whole Mitch thing has turned
everything upside down...
350
00:22:35,384 --> 00:22:37,968
Can I... Why does no one get this?
351
00:22:37,970 --> 00:22:41,138
The Mitch days... They're over, all right?
352
00:22:41,140 --> 00:22:44,391
I would like hands-on control
from this point on.
353
00:22:44,393 --> 00:22:46,977
I want cohost approval.
354
00:22:46,979 --> 00:22:52,149
Otherwise, I'm not going on the air.
355
00:22:52,151 --> 00:22:54,735
Let's walk to the stage. We'll just walk.
356
00:22:54,737 --> 00:22:56,236
- We can walk.
- We'll walk, okay?
357
00:22:56,238 --> 00:22:58,447
But I'm not going on air
unless you promise me.
358
00:22:58,449 --> 00:23:00,115
- Can I explain something to you?
- Sure.
359
00:23:00,117 --> 00:23:01,825
You pulling this stunt,
with the network right now,
360
00:23:01,827 --> 00:23:03,285
is not gonna make them
promise you anything.
361
00:23:03,287 --> 00:23:05,203
It's gonna make them think
you are fucking losing it.
362
00:23:05,205 --> 00:23:10,834
Well, maybe you have to lose it sometimes
to get people to take you seriously.
363
00:23:10,836 --> 00:23:13,086
I've known you 15 years, Chip.
364
00:23:13,088 --> 00:23:16,757
We came up the ranks together.
For better, for worse.
365
00:23:16,759 --> 00:23:20,052
Lately it's been for worse, but whatever.
366
00:23:20,054 --> 00:23:24,431
You are the only person that I know
that can push this through for me.
367
00:23:24,433 --> 00:23:26,808
And I know if you promise me,
you'll do it.
368
00:23:26,810 --> 00:23:29,561
So, you've gotta promise me, Chip.
369
00:23:29,563 --> 00:23:31,480
Thirty seconds, guys.
370
00:23:31,482 --> 00:23:35,442
I am trying to protect you, but you
are putting me in an impossible situation.
371
00:23:35,444 --> 00:23:38,028
I can't promise you
I can push this through! I can't. I just...
372
00:23:38,030 --> 00:23:41,031
You got Alison and Yanko. Let them go on.
373
00:23:41,033 --> 00:23:42,491
I'm not going on.
374
00:23:42,493 --> 00:23:46,119
And I don't want you to protect me,
I'd like you to respect me.
375
00:23:46,121 --> 00:23:47,996
What, did you read this on a card?
What are you...
376
00:23:47,998 --> 00:23:49,247
Twenty seconds.
377
00:23:49,249 --> 00:23:51,500
I'm ready to fill in.
378
00:23:51,502 --> 00:23:54,503
- There, Alison. There you go.
- No.
379
00:23:54,505 --> 00:23:57,172
They're...
They're gonna think you are crazy.
380
00:23:57,174 --> 00:23:58,715
I'm not going on air.
381
00:23:58,717 --> 00:24:01,051
Ten seconds.
382
00:24:01,053 --> 00:24:03,637
Nine...
383
00:24:03,639 --> 00:24:05,764
eight...
384
00:24:05,766 --> 00:24:07,557
seven...
385
00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:11,853
All right, I promise... Fine, fine!
Go! Sit, butt in chair!
386
00:24:11,855 --> 00:24:18,610
Five, four, three, two...
387
00:24:18,612 --> 00:24:21,279
Good morning. I'm Alex Levy.
388
00:24:21,281 --> 00:24:22,823
And I'm Daniel Henderson.
389
00:24:22,825 --> 00:24:33,834
And here are our top stories.
390
00:24:33,836 --> 00:24:36,795
Hey, Bradley Jackson.
391
00:24:36,797 --> 00:24:39,965
Have a meeting with Charlie Black.
392
00:24:39,967 --> 00:24:42,384
Does he go by Chip, or Charlie, or?
393
00:24:42,386 --> 00:24:45,387
Well, Charlie is his professional name,
but he does go by Chip.
394
00:24:45,389 --> 00:24:53,437
Okay, okay. Well,
then I have a meeting with Charlie Chip.
395
00:24:53,439 --> 00:24:56,606
Hey. Hey, Chip, you looking for me?
396
00:24:56,608 --> 00:24:58,650
Yeah. Can you walk with me?
397
00:24:58,652 --> 00:25:01,194
Second day in the anchor chair,
I think it went pretty well.
398
00:25:01,196 --> 00:25:02,904
I'm really excited about The Twist today.
399
00:25:02,906 --> 00:25:04,906
- Can I give you some advice?
- Sure.
400
00:25:04,908 --> 00:25:07,284
- There are opportunities opening up here.
- Yeah.
401
00:25:07,286 --> 00:25:09,369
You know what Mitch had going for him?
402
00:25:09,371 --> 00:25:12,998
He was that guy you didn't mind being
stuck at the DMV next to, you know.
403
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,084
Easygoing, light touch,
smart, yes, but easy.
404
00:25:16,086 --> 00:25:17,586
Now, I think you're great.
405
00:25:17,588 --> 00:25:20,130
Probably the best real journalist
we have in the building.
406
00:25:20,132 --> 00:25:22,341
But I overheard you having
this debate in the hall.
407
00:25:22,343 --> 00:25:25,218
I know how you feel about
the Gilmore Girls musical
408
00:25:25,220 --> 00:25:28,930
being neo-pro-life rights propaganda,
and I get it.
409
00:25:28,932 --> 00:25:31,308
All I'm gonna say is,
don't fucking say it.
410
00:25:31,310 --> 00:25:34,061
That shit is not gonna get you
the coanchor chair, okay?
411
00:25:34,063 --> 00:25:35,937
You got a lot going for yourself
in this race.
412
00:25:35,939 --> 00:25:38,982
The brass is looking at everybody closely.
413
00:25:38,984 --> 00:25:41,485
Don't ruin it for yourself
by being too serious, okay?
414
00:25:41,487 --> 00:25:47,240
Try being a little... softer.
A little more accessible, you know?
415
00:25:47,242 --> 00:25:49,159
You telling me to be less black?
416
00:25:49,161 --> 00:25:51,286
Jesus, that's what you just heard?
Really, Daniel?
417
00:25:51,288 --> 00:25:52,871
- That's basically what you're saying.
- Fuck...
418
00:25:52,873 --> 00:25:56,249
You don't even know you're saying it. This
is what I had to deal with my whole life.
419
00:25:56,251 --> 00:25:59,461
Don't be smarter than other people. Don't
come off too strong, too opinionated.
420
00:25:59,463 --> 00:26:01,421
Daniel, that's not being black.
421
00:26:01,423 --> 00:26:04,049
It's being fucking Morning Show,
Daniel, okay?
422
00:26:04,051 --> 00:26:08,345
Jesus, I'm on your side here. This has
nothing to do with you being black.
423
00:26:08,347 --> 00:26:11,848
That's what you guys always say.
424
00:26:11,850 --> 00:26:13,350
Shit, okay. You know what?
425
00:26:13,352 --> 00:26:15,936
Just do yourself a favor
tonight at the event.
426
00:26:15,938 --> 00:26:18,313
Press the flesh. Schmooze the executives.
427
00:26:18,315 --> 00:26:20,315
Pretend you're the dad
that everybody wants
428
00:26:20,317 --> 00:26:22,442
and don't go after
the beloved Gilmore Girls.
429
00:26:22,444 --> 00:26:27,030
Hey, hey, this chair could be yours.
430
00:26:27,032 --> 00:26:28,740
Okay?
431
00:26:28,742 --> 00:26:31,326
- I hear you.
- Thank you.
432
00:26:31,328 --> 00:26:33,412
- Thank you. Thank you.
- You're welcome. You're welcome.
433
00:26:33,414 --> 00:26:34,663
Yes.
434
00:26:34,665 --> 00:26:37,290
The coal woman is here.
435
00:26:37,292 --> 00:26:39,292
Jesus.
Do we have to do this meeting right now?
436
00:26:39,294 --> 00:26:41,336
Like I don't have a million
more important things to do.
437
00:26:41,338 --> 00:26:43,797
Is Cory Ellison fucking this woman or...
438
00:26:43,799 --> 00:26:46,341
Fucking waste of time. That's it.
439
00:26:46,343 --> 00:26:50,929
I wanna thank you for taking the time to
see me. I know you've got a lot going on.
440
00:26:50,931 --> 00:26:52,973
Sure, it's no problem. Not busy at all.
441
00:26:52,975 --> 00:26:55,267
- I looked at your reel. It was good.
- Thank you.
442
00:26:55,269 --> 00:26:58,687
I noticed you have moved around
last couple of years.
443
00:26:58,689 --> 00:27:02,482
Three years at SENN,
then BDC six months before that...
444
00:27:02,484 --> 00:27:06,069
Yeah, yeah. I understand.
I've been some places.
445
00:27:06,071 --> 00:27:09,197
But really, I'm looking for a platform
where I can get my ideas across.
446
00:27:09,199 --> 00:27:12,826
- Speaking of which, I brought some today...
- Wait, I'm sorry. What do you mean ideas?
447
00:27:12,828 --> 00:27:15,495
I've worked up some stories I think
would be good for The Morning Show.
448
00:27:15,497 --> 00:27:18,665
I'm sorry. I'm maybe a little confused.
449
00:27:18,667 --> 00:27:21,668
You're interviewing to be a correspondent,
right? Not a producer.
450
00:27:21,670 --> 00:27:25,213
'Cause correspondents normally just
present the ideas that producers wrote.
451
00:27:25,215 --> 00:27:28,342
Yeah, I like to do my own producing,
452
00:27:28,344 --> 00:27:31,928
and I think I have some stories
that would do really well on TMS.
453
00:27:31,930 --> 00:27:33,680
So, why don't I just jump in?
454
00:27:33,682 --> 00:27:34,973
Sure, yeah. Okay.
455
00:27:34,975 --> 00:27:37,309
So,
there's a mom-and-pop store in Chicago.
456
00:27:37,311 --> 00:27:39,561
It's about to be replaced by a Target.
457
00:27:39,563 --> 00:27:42,189
The historical society
is trying to block it.
458
00:27:42,191 --> 00:27:43,357
But here's the twist.
459
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,485
The mom and the pop are angry
at the historical society
460
00:27:46,487 --> 00:27:49,196
because they're getting in the way
of them amassing a small fortune.
461
00:27:49,198 --> 00:27:52,074
So, I have a source on the inside
that can tell me...
462
00:27:52,076 --> 00:27:55,118
It's okay. I get the concept.
463
00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:58,455
Okay, well, college admissions.
Not the diversity angle...
464
00:27:58,457 --> 00:28:02,167
Fuck me.
465
00:28:02,169 --> 00:28:03,251
- Sorry.
- College admissions.
466
00:28:03,253 --> 00:28:05,921
But not the diversity angle,
the money angle.
467
00:28:05,923 --> 00:28:07,297
No.
468
00:28:07,299 --> 00:28:10,634
No? Okay.
469
00:28:10,636 --> 00:28:14,012
You know, right here in New York City
they are trying to dedicate a memorial
470
00:28:14,014 --> 00:28:17,474
to the immigrants who died
in the Triangle Fire in 1911.
471
00:28:17,476 --> 00:28:19,434
And the thing about dedicating it
this summer...
472
00:28:19,436 --> 00:28:21,687
You said 1911?
473
00:28:21,689 --> 00:28:24,898
Yeah, that's when it happened, 1911.
474
00:28:24,900 --> 00:28:26,233
Okay.
475
00:28:26,235 --> 00:28:29,653
I don't know how to say this without being
rude, but you're wasting your time here.
476
00:28:29,655 --> 00:28:31,113
Your stories aren't right for us.
477
00:28:31,115 --> 00:28:35,033
It's not even ostensibly what you're here
to discuss anyway, so...
478
00:28:35,035 --> 00:28:37,911
The stories aren't right for you?
479
00:28:37,913 --> 00:28:38,996
I'm sorry.
480
00:28:38,998 --> 00:28:42,290
Were you even listening? 'Cause you look
like you were distracted the entire time.
481
00:28:42,292 --> 00:28:44,209
You didn't even ask me a question.
482
00:28:44,211 --> 00:28:46,128
How are they not right for you?
483
00:28:46,130 --> 00:28:49,214
Are you... You're being serious right now?
484
00:28:49,216 --> 00:28:50,382
Yeah.
485
00:28:50,384 --> 00:28:51,967
Okay.
486
00:28:51,969 --> 00:28:55,429
They're not interesting.
This meeting is over.
487
00:28:55,431 --> 00:28:57,931
You mean they're not interesting to you?
488
00:28:57,933 --> 00:29:00,600
- Have you seen your show lately, sir?
- Please.
489
00:29:00,602 --> 00:29:04,563
I'm sorry, but this week alone,
I think I saw twins who met on Bumble,
490
00:29:04,565 --> 00:29:08,692
a woman got busted for selling
fake emotional support animal licenses.
491
00:29:08,694 --> 00:29:12,863
And how many ice-cream flavors
are there really? Need I go on?
492
00:29:12,865 --> 00:29:14,364
No, you need to leave.
493
00:29:14,366 --> 00:29:16,908
- Your show sucks.
- Thank you! Thank you.
494
00:29:16,910 --> 00:29:18,160
It's barely news.
495
00:29:18,162 --> 00:29:21,246
You have downgraded it to try and get
some of the Your Day, America audience,
496
00:29:21,248 --> 00:29:22,748
to your own detriment.
497
00:29:22,750 --> 00:29:24,750
You really think this is gonna
help you get a job?
498
00:29:24,752 --> 00:29:26,543
The stories that I brought you are good.
499
00:29:26,545 --> 00:29:28,920
They're human, they're political,
they're engaging.
500
00:29:28,922 --> 00:29:31,757
The Triangle Fire story
is so timely right now,
501
00:29:31,759 --> 00:29:33,717
with immigration issues that are going on.
502
00:29:33,719 --> 00:29:37,846
I'm sorry if lives of teenage immigrant
girls burning alive in a sweatshop
503
00:29:37,848 --> 00:29:39,598
holds no current value to you,
504
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,683
but it might lead you to do
an actual news story
505
00:29:41,685 --> 00:29:44,978
about the sweatshops that exist
all over the city right now.
506
00:29:44,980 --> 00:29:49,066
But God forbid you do that at Morning
Show. It's not feel-good bad news, is it?
507
00:29:49,068 --> 00:29:50,776
You want me to call security?
That's what you want?
508
00:29:50,778 --> 00:29:53,070
- Why? Are you scared of me?
- I want you to leave!
509
00:29:53,072 --> 00:29:56,907
You know what? People like you are
the reason broadcast news is what it is.
510
00:29:56,909 --> 00:30:00,827
Thanks for your time, Chip Charlie Chip.
Whatever your fuckin' name is.
511
00:30:00,829 --> 00:30:02,913
You sound like an ice-cream flavor.
512
00:30:02,915 --> 00:30:10,253
Hey, why don't you put that
in your hard news exposé?
513
00:30:10,255 --> 00:30:11,630
What the fuck?
514
00:30:11,632 --> 00:30:25,427
UBA
515
00:30:49,878 --> 00:30:54,006
I'm gonna be straight with you, Mitch.
Financially, this is gonna be tough.
516
00:30:54,008 --> 00:30:56,299
It's okay. It's fine.
I can tighten my belt a little...
517
00:30:56,301 --> 00:30:58,176
It kind of goes beyond that.
518
00:30:58,178 --> 00:31:01,763
UBA is not going to pay out
the rest of your contract.
519
00:31:01,765 --> 00:31:03,265
- They said that?
- Yes.
520
00:31:03,267 --> 00:31:05,934
Legal sent a violation of contract
document this morning
521
00:31:05,936 --> 00:31:07,311
that made it very clear.
522
00:31:07,313 --> 00:31:11,481
How can I be in violation of my contract?
523
00:31:11,483 --> 00:31:13,442
It was consensual.
524
00:31:13,444 --> 00:31:15,986
- All I can say is that for the...
- Lisa, it was consensual.
525
00:31:15,988 --> 00:31:19,990
For the foreseeable future,
you're not gonna have any income.
526
00:31:19,992 --> 00:31:22,951
Okay.
527
00:31:22,953 --> 00:31:24,703
All right.
528
00:31:24,705 --> 00:31:26,496
Well, what do you propose I do?
529
00:31:26,498 --> 00:31:29,041
You're gonna have to start making choices.
530
00:31:29,043 --> 00:31:33,879
You got the Southampton house, the Aspen
property, your New York apartment. Which...
531
00:31:33,881 --> 00:31:36,631
I'm not giving up that apartment.
532
00:31:36,633 --> 00:31:41,053
You could probably keep it going
at this level for two years, tops.
533
00:31:41,055 --> 00:31:45,807
How is that even possible?
I've made more money than God. Right?
534
00:31:45,809 --> 00:31:47,893
God didn't violate his morals clause.
535
00:31:47,895 --> 00:31:50,687
Morals clause, really?
536
00:31:50,689 --> 00:31:52,648
Oh, wow!
537
00:31:52,650 --> 00:31:54,066
Fuck.
538
00:31:54,068 --> 00:31:56,151
That. What a crock of shit.
539
00:31:56,153 --> 00:31:58,445
Morals clause!
540
00:31:58,447 --> 00:32:00,739
These people back up the Brinks truck
541
00:32:00,741 --> 00:32:05,243
and give you everything that
you've always wanted except for one thing:
542
00:32:05,245 --> 00:32:07,788
there's gonna be a morals clause
in your contract.
543
00:32:07,790 --> 00:32:10,832
Okay. Well, you're not an idiot.
544
00:32:10,834 --> 00:32:14,127
And everybody's telling you they
won't trigger it. They never trigger it.
545
00:32:14,129 --> 00:32:16,046
That's not even...
They're just covering their asses.
546
00:32:16,048 --> 00:32:18,924
And these guys? You've known them forever.
547
00:32:18,926 --> 00:32:24,346
You have worked with them. And they
more than approve of your behavior.
548
00:32:24,348 --> 00:32:27,516
It's fine with them,
as is evidenced by the fact
549
00:32:27,518 --> 00:32:32,270
that they just gave you the most lucrative
deal in the history of morning news.
550
00:32:32,272 --> 00:32:34,231
And you don't want
to be that guy who says,
551
00:32:34,233 --> 00:32:37,734
"No, take the morals clause out, then I'll
sign it," 'cause that sends a bad message.
552
00:32:37,736 --> 00:32:40,195
You know what a morals clause is?
553
00:32:40,197 --> 00:32:42,406
It's a moving fucking target!
554
00:32:42,408 --> 00:32:44,491
It's anything they want it to be!
555
00:32:44,493 --> 00:32:49,913
Yeah? It's as the wind blows.
556
00:32:49,915 --> 00:32:54,418
Oh, wow.
557
00:32:54,420 --> 00:33:00,090
Mitch, I'm your business manager,
not your lawyer.
558
00:33:00,092 --> 00:33:12,803
Morals clause. Morals clause.
559
00:33:13,063 --> 00:33:15,480
Rapist!
560
00:33:15,482 --> 00:33:18,859
What did you say to me?
What did you call me?
561
00:33:18,861 --> 00:33:22,321
Don't walk away from me. You're calling me
a ra...? I'm not even accused of rape.
562
00:33:22,323 --> 00:33:24,656
Sexual misconduct
is what I'm being accused of.
563
00:33:24,658 --> 00:33:27,492
Don't you wave your fucking hand at me!
564
00:33:27,494 --> 00:33:39,788
Have a nice day, you fucking asshole.
565
00:33:47,348 --> 00:33:48,597
Yes?
566
00:33:48,599 --> 00:33:50,641
Hi, Ashley. I'm Hannah Shoenfeld.
567
00:33:50,643 --> 00:33:51,933
I'm with The Morning Show.
568
00:33:51,935 --> 00:33:56,146
Don't worry. It's nothing bad. We think
it's great you want to tell your story.
569
00:33:56,148 --> 00:33:58,023
Then why are you here?
570
00:33:58,025 --> 00:34:00,734
Can I come in?
I promise I'll be real quick.
571
00:34:00,736 --> 00:34:06,782
- I really don't think that's a good idea.
- Five minutes. You can time me.
572
00:34:06,784 --> 00:34:08,450
Look, you have a story to tell.
573
00:34:08,452 --> 00:34:12,496
The entire country needs to hear it,
and we want to give you the platform.
574
00:34:12,498 --> 00:34:14,122
On The Morning Show?
575
00:34:14,124 --> 00:34:15,624
Yes.
576
00:34:15,626 --> 00:34:17,709
Why would I ever go back there?
That place is...
577
00:34:17,711 --> 00:34:22,339
The scene of the crime. I know. And going
back, that takes real fucking courage.
578
00:34:22,341 --> 00:34:26,093
Which you have. Or you wouldn't
be speaking out in the first place.
579
00:34:26,095 --> 00:34:30,138
Look, I find stories for a living.
That's what I do.
580
00:34:30,140 --> 00:34:33,976
And when I look at you,
I can see that story.
581
00:34:33,978 --> 00:34:36,645
The brave woman knocked back
by a powerful man,
582
00:34:36,647 --> 00:34:39,523
reclaiming her power on national TV.
583
00:34:39,525 --> 00:34:44,027
But if you go on YDA,
that's not the story that'll be told.
584
00:34:44,029 --> 00:34:48,156
Yes, it is.
It doesn't matter where I tell it.
585
00:34:48,158 --> 00:34:52,703
I am done with this conversation.
I'm not going back there.
586
00:34:52,705 --> 00:34:54,329
Do I have to call security?
587
00:34:54,331 --> 00:34:56,873
Fine. I'll leave.
588
00:34:56,875 --> 00:35:01,628
But it does matter where you tell it.
589
00:35:01,630 --> 00:35:04,673
You're making a huge mistake.
590
00:35:04,675 --> 00:35:05,757
Why?
591
00:35:05,759 --> 00:35:10,554
Because this is television,
not a women's studies seminar at Vassar.
592
00:35:10,556 --> 00:35:14,474
A lot of people watching are gonna
have ignorant, knee-jerk reactions.
593
00:35:14,476 --> 00:35:16,518
How you tell the story
is the whole fucking ball game.
594
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:22,774
And if you do it on YDA,
you'll be the angry woman.
595
00:35:22,776 --> 00:35:24,109
Why?
596
00:35:24,111 --> 00:35:28,739
Because YDA's our enemy, and everyone
who watches these shows knows it.
597
00:35:28,741 --> 00:35:32,993
They'll see you as a bitch,
scorned by a powerful network,
598
00:35:32,995 --> 00:35:35,370
rejected by a powerful man,
599
00:35:35,372 --> 00:35:38,415
bitter about her career, her life,
600
00:35:38,417 --> 00:35:40,042
looking for a payback,
601
00:35:40,044 --> 00:35:42,210
desperate to hurt the people who hurt her,
602
00:35:42,212 --> 00:35:46,131
manipulated by a rival show that
just wants to fuck over their opponent,
603
00:35:46,133 --> 00:35:48,132
trotted out like a piece of meat,
604
00:35:48,134 --> 00:35:51,469
and then discarded
when you aren't needed anymore.
605
00:35:51,471 --> 00:35:53,429
And then it's done, and nobody cares.
606
00:35:53,431 --> 00:35:55,431
On to the next story.
607
00:35:55,433 --> 00:36:00,145
No, I can't do this.
I mean, I shouldn't be doing this at all.
608
00:36:00,147 --> 00:36:04,190
Yes, you should.
609
00:36:04,192 --> 00:36:06,942
But if you are gonna do it...
610
00:36:06,944 --> 00:36:12,324
if you are gonna blow the whistle on Mitch
Kessler for being the predator he is...
611
00:36:12,326 --> 00:36:16,495
you have to have the balls
to do it in his own house.
612
00:36:16,497 --> 00:36:23,210
It won't mean anything otherwise.
613
00:36:23,212 --> 00:36:26,463
Come on The Morning Show.
614
00:36:26,465 --> 00:36:29,257
Come back to the killing floor.
615
00:36:29,259 --> 00:36:32,719
Show everyone you have the nerve...
616
00:36:32,721 --> 00:36:44,848
but especially him.
617
00:36:45,067 --> 00:36:51,405
Thanks.
618
00:36:51,407 --> 00:36:53,073
- Hello?
- Hello, Bradley.
619
00:36:53,075 --> 00:36:55,993
This is Cecily from Cory Ellison's office.
620
00:36:55,995 --> 00:36:59,454
Cory would like for you to be at the
Leadership in Journalism event tonight.
621
00:36:59,456 --> 00:37:01,665
It's black-tie.
622
00:37:01,667 --> 00:37:04,584
That's really nice,
but I'm headed to the airport.
623
00:37:04,586 --> 00:37:07,713
We'll take care of rearranging
your flight.
624
00:37:07,715 --> 00:37:09,798
A car will pick you up at your hotel.
625
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,010
Okay, I didn't pack anything I could wear
to a black-tie event.
626
00:37:13,012 --> 00:37:15,804
We're sending a few gowns over.
627
00:37:15,806 --> 00:37:17,806
Okay, Cecily, I'm confused.
628
00:37:17,808 --> 00:37:21,560
I had a meeting with Chip Charlie Black,
and it did not go well.
629
00:37:21,562 --> 00:37:23,478
I'm pretty sure he's not hiring me.
630
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,273
All I know is Cory asked me to call you.
631
00:37:26,275 --> 00:37:32,321
So, between you and me, I'd show up.
632
00:37:32,323 --> 00:37:34,448
Okay, yeah. I'll be there.
633
00:37:34,450 --> 00:37:45,534
Fantastic.
634
00:37:48,047 --> 00:37:54,509
Go around the side. Get the shot.
Come out this side.
635
00:37:54,511 --> 00:37:58,472
- Why are you here?
- Is he going back on air?
636
00:37:58,474 --> 00:38:04,144
What's the latest news on Mitch?
637
00:38:04,146 --> 00:38:07,773
Hey, Mitch.
638
00:38:07,775 --> 00:38:09,900
To what do I owe this pleasure?
639
00:38:09,902 --> 00:38:13,195
Is it already time
for my chemical castration?
640
00:38:13,197 --> 00:38:15,238
No,
I got that slotted in for next Thursday.
641
00:38:15,240 --> 00:38:16,657
Oh, yeah.
642
00:38:16,659 --> 00:38:20,577
Maybe we can fit it in between my tar and
feathering and being burnt at the stake.
643
00:38:20,579 --> 00:38:22,329
You got it.
644
00:38:22,331 --> 00:38:28,835
And by the way, fuck you.
645
00:38:28,837 --> 00:38:31,588
Mitch, you gotta stop calling reporters.
646
00:38:31,590 --> 00:38:34,299
Looks like somebody got
an illegal wiretap kit for Christmas.
647
00:38:34,301 --> 00:38:36,051
No, somebody got slipped the information
648
00:38:36,053 --> 00:38:39,012
that Mitch Kessler has been calling
reporters all over New York City
649
00:38:39,014 --> 00:38:42,557
looking for someone to tell
his side of the story.
650
00:38:42,559 --> 00:38:45,268
What the fuck, Mitch?
I mean, you know you can't do that.
651
00:38:45,270 --> 00:38:47,854
You're toxic,
and you're gonna be for a while, so...
652
00:38:47,856 --> 00:38:53,527
How long do I have to sit around
while I take my punishment like a man?
653
00:38:53,529 --> 00:38:57,364
I don't know. I don't know what the
half-life is on this, but it's not a day.
654
00:38:57,366 --> 00:38:58,782
It's years.
655
00:38:58,784 --> 00:39:00,826
So, you need to hibernate.
656
00:39:00,828 --> 00:39:04,454
I have covered enough of these stories
over the past couple of years
657
00:39:04,456 --> 00:39:07,624
to know that when the Me Too mob
comes knocking at your door
658
00:39:07,626 --> 00:39:08,709
you have two choices.
659
00:39:08,711 --> 00:39:14,506
You can either be contrite
and cry puddles of crocodile tears
660
00:39:14,508 --> 00:39:19,011
and pray till you're blue in the balls
that it'll just magically disappear,
661
00:39:19,013 --> 00:39:22,389
or you can fight back.
662
00:39:22,391 --> 00:39:25,350
And that's what I intend to do, Chip.
663
00:39:25,352 --> 00:39:27,644
I think that's my best course of action.
664
00:39:27,646 --> 00:39:29,354
I'm going to hire a new attorney,
665
00:39:29,356 --> 00:39:32,399
I'm going to get my face out there,
666
00:39:32,401 --> 00:39:36,403
and I'm not gonna hide in shame.
667
00:39:36,405 --> 00:39:37,946
It's gonna work.
668
00:39:37,948 --> 00:39:42,284
Do not show your face tonight.
Do not do that to Alex.
669
00:39:42,286 --> 00:39:44,286
My tux is pressed.
670
00:39:44,288 --> 00:39:46,330
- I can't unpress my tux.
- Yeah.
671
00:39:46,332 --> 00:39:50,584
So, I'm going. And those goddamn
two-faced New York reporters...
672
00:39:50,586 --> 00:39:54,129
I'm gonna walk in and look those
motherfuckers in their beady little eyes,
673
00:39:54,131 --> 00:39:57,966
and I'm gonna say,
"I'm here. I can see you."
674
00:39:57,968 --> 00:39:59,217
Yeah, that's suicide.
675
00:39:59,219 --> 00:40:01,887
And by the way, did I see you yelling
at some woman on the street?
676
00:40:01,889 --> 00:40:04,598
Because it's on Twitter.
You can't fucking do this shit, man!
677
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,142
I have to fight back!
678
00:40:07,144 --> 00:40:10,187
I'm not going to let somebody
slander me again in public.
679
00:40:10,189 --> 00:40:12,981
I get it! You're angry! You're upset!
You're defensive, okay?
680
00:40:12,983 --> 00:40:17,903
But I'm telling you, you are way
too emotionally volatile to walk in there
681
00:40:17,905 --> 00:40:20,030
and make a convincing argument, okay?
682
00:40:20,032 --> 00:40:22,616
And you need to drop this innocent act,
at least in front of me.
683
00:40:22,618 --> 00:40:26,203
I am as innocent
as any straight, middle-aged man there is.
684
00:40:26,205 --> 00:40:29,081
The only problem is,
that seems to be illegal these days.
685
00:40:29,083 --> 00:40:31,458
This is McCarthyism, you know it.
686
00:40:31,460 --> 00:40:32,542
Everybody knows it
687
00:40:32,544 --> 00:40:35,671
but people just don't have the intestinal
fortitude to say it out loud.
688
00:40:35,673 --> 00:40:39,132
I'll say it. We're being too fast to judge
men in the court of public opinion.
689
00:40:39,134 --> 00:40:40,592
I agree with you, okay?
690
00:40:40,594 --> 00:40:43,387
The whole Me Too movement
is probably an overcorrection
691
00:40:43,389 --> 00:40:45,055
for centuries of bad behavior
692
00:40:45,057 --> 00:40:47,474
that more enlightened men
like you and me had nothing to do with.
693
00:40:47,476 --> 00:40:52,604
But, Mitch, do you really want
a detailed probe into your private life?
694
00:40:52,606 --> 00:40:55,399
You think that's gonna exonerate you?
695
00:40:55,401 --> 00:40:58,026
- At first they came for the rapists.
- What are you...
696
00:40:58,028 --> 00:41:01,613
And I did not speak up
because I am not a rapist.
697
00:41:01,615 --> 00:41:04,074
And then they came for the powerful men,
698
00:41:04,076 --> 00:41:06,785
and you did not speak up
because you are not a powerful man.
699
00:41:06,787 --> 00:41:08,870
But what are you going to do
700
00:41:08,872 --> 00:41:15,168
when they come for the ordinary, everyday,
run-of-the-mill creep like you, Chip?
701
00:41:15,170 --> 00:41:20,007
Who's gonna be left to speak up for you?
702
00:41:20,009 --> 00:41:24,011
I'm gonna go now, okay?
703
00:41:24,013 --> 00:41:26,304
Do not show up tonight.
704
00:41:26,306 --> 00:41:28,473
Stop talking.
705
00:41:28,475 --> 00:41:33,395
Start fucking listening,
and do it from home.
706
00:41:33,397 --> 00:41:36,064
Who leaked this to the Times?
707
00:41:36,066 --> 00:41:39,818
Stop talking, Mitch.
708
00:41:39,820 --> 00:41:45,240
And who did you have to blow
to keep your job?
709
00:41:45,242 --> 00:41:55,625
All right. See you in a couple of hours.
710
00:41:55,627 --> 00:42:00,964
I need this. I need my makeup
so I can look like a princess all night.
711
00:42:00,966 --> 00:42:03,925
That's not gonna fit. I need my mints.
I need my phone,
712
00:42:03,927 --> 00:42:08,013
and I need my eye drops, none of which fit
in this teeny little thing!
713
00:42:08,015 --> 00:42:09,348
I can take your phone.
714
00:42:09,350 --> 00:42:12,392
Why would you take my phone?
That's ridiculous, Jason.
715
00:42:12,394 --> 00:42:13,977
You're getting worked up about nothing...
716
00:42:13,979 --> 00:42:17,022
Really? About nothing?
I'm sorry. I need all this stupid shit.
717
00:42:17,024 --> 00:42:18,940
Alex, it's fine. Let me just... Give me...
718
00:42:18,942 --> 00:42:21,777
- I said I would get it. I can shut it.
- Jesus Christ.
719
00:42:21,779 --> 00:42:22,778
Thank you.
720
00:42:22,780 --> 00:42:23,862
- Mom?
- What?
721
00:42:23,864 --> 00:42:25,864
- It's gonna be okay.
- No, it's not, honey.
722
00:42:25,866 --> 00:42:27,532
Okay, it's just an event.
723
00:42:27,534 --> 00:42:30,035
Really? Just an event?
Only with the worst timing ever.
724
00:42:30,037 --> 00:42:33,038
I would rather stick daggers
into my eyeballs!
725
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,374
- Alex. Alex.
- What?
726
00:42:35,376 --> 00:42:39,836
How about you pretend to have
food poisoning and just don't go?
727
00:42:39,838 --> 00:42:41,922
I cannot do that.
728
00:42:41,924 --> 00:42:45,342
Everyone in there will know that I'm
lying, that I'm uncomfortable and afraid.
729
00:42:45,344 --> 00:42:48,929
That I'm afraid of what's gonna happen
to me on the show in the wake of Mitch.
730
00:42:48,931 --> 00:42:53,141
Everyone in there is press.
They think they know everything.
731
00:42:53,143 --> 00:42:55,018
Half of them hate me
because I'm too successful,
732
00:42:55,020 --> 00:42:57,187
and the other half hate me
because, I don't know,
733
00:42:57,189 --> 00:42:59,606
their hearts are at home in a fucking jar!
734
00:42:59,608 --> 00:43:03,235
Oh, God!
735
00:43:03,237 --> 00:43:05,821
Oh, Jesus, I can't cry!
736
00:43:05,823 --> 00:43:07,864
Jesus!
737
00:43:07,866 --> 00:43:09,533
Oh, God.
738
00:43:09,535 --> 00:43:12,077
- No, stop it, stop it!
- Mom.
739
00:43:12,079 --> 00:43:16,957
- Yeah, well, you can't go out like this.
- I know that!
740
00:43:16,959 --> 00:43:20,210
- Alex, Alex!
- Ms. Levy! Right here!
741
00:43:20,212 --> 00:43:25,298
Hi.
742
00:43:25,300 --> 00:43:26,591
- Okay?
- Yep.
743
00:43:26,593 --> 00:43:41,724
Let's go do this fucking event
so I can go home and just die.
744
00:43:52,328 --> 00:43:58,874
I really appreciate it.
745
00:43:58,876 --> 00:44:01,626
Hey, Alex.
Congratulations on being honored tonight.
746
00:44:01,628 --> 00:44:03,253
- Thank you.
- How does it feel?
747
00:44:03,255 --> 00:44:06,965
It's so meaningful to be honored
by such prestigious company,
748
00:44:06,967 --> 00:44:10,677
and I'm thrilled to be here to support
quality journalism in this day and...
749
00:44:10,679 --> 00:44:15,057
May I just add The Morning Show
is very important.
750
00:44:15,059 --> 00:44:18,060
It's iconic and beloved,
and it is about real journalism
751
00:44:18,062 --> 00:44:19,936
and no one person can change that.
752
00:44:19,938 --> 00:44:22,898
We will survive this disgrace,
753
00:44:22,900 --> 00:44:25,942
and we're gonna help America
get through it like a family.
754
00:44:25,944 --> 00:44:29,655
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
755
00:44:29,657 --> 00:44:33,158
Hey, let's get a picture.
756
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,703
You forgot the part about how I'm the one
that will be pulling America through this.
757
00:44:36,705 --> 00:44:39,790
Well, I think that was implied.
758
00:44:39,792 --> 00:44:42,626
You think a lot is implied.
759
00:44:42,628 --> 00:44:49,216
That's where you hide.
In the implications.
760
00:44:49,218 --> 00:44:52,469
I'm really honored.
761
00:44:52,471 --> 00:44:53,553
Who are you?
762
00:44:53,555 --> 00:44:55,681
Being this personable is exhausting.
763
00:44:55,683 --> 00:44:58,016
I don't think
I can keep doing it for much longer.
764
00:44:58,018 --> 00:45:00,686
Let me take you to the bar
and give you a minute to be an intense,
765
00:45:00,688 --> 00:45:02,896
overly educated, sexy grouch, huh?
766
00:45:02,898 --> 00:45:06,525
I'm feeling good. I'm starting to feel
like I might really have a shot at this.
767
00:45:06,527 --> 00:45:10,320
Keep pressing that flesh.
768
00:45:10,322 --> 00:45:12,114
Hey, Cory?
769
00:45:12,116 --> 00:45:16,451
So, your friend... Bradley Jackson,
bit of a train wreck.
770
00:45:16,453 --> 00:45:19,371
You're gonna be sorry if you go down
this road. I'd like to report otherwise,
771
00:45:19,373 --> 00:45:22,874
but that's my gut feeling.
772
00:45:22,876 --> 00:45:24,584
Fine.
773
00:45:24,586 --> 00:45:30,173
Okay, good.
774
00:45:30,175 --> 00:45:31,883
Mom, did Hal go to his meeting?
775
00:45:31,885 --> 00:45:34,803
He was supposed to call me after,
and I haven't heard a word from him.
776
00:45:34,805 --> 00:45:38,390
I don't know. He's not home yet.
He left about 1:00 to go to it.
777
00:45:38,392 --> 00:45:40,183
He's been out for seven hours?
778
00:45:40,185 --> 00:45:43,687
Well, he said he was gonna
go by Brandon's afterwards.
779
00:45:43,689 --> 00:45:45,689
Mom, you can't let him see Brandon.
780
00:45:45,691 --> 00:45:47,566
That's like putting heroin
right in front of him.
781
00:45:47,568 --> 00:45:49,359
Bradley, I'm worried now.
782
00:45:49,361 --> 00:45:51,862
I'll call you later.
I just have to do one stupid thing
783
00:45:51,864 --> 00:45:54,573
and then I'm gonna come home,
and I'll deal with this myself.
784
00:45:54,575 --> 00:45:56,950
Okay, I gotta go. All right, bye.
785
00:45:56,952 --> 00:45:58,910
- Hey!
- Glad you could make it.
786
00:45:58,912 --> 00:46:00,912
I'm going to show you to your seat.
787
00:46:00,914 --> 00:46:02,748
You got demoted to usher?
788
00:46:02,750 --> 00:46:05,375
No, I just moved you to a different table.
It'll be fun.
789
00:46:05,377 --> 00:46:09,087
Well, it is thrilling to be here
to support Alex Levy tonight,
790
00:46:09,089 --> 00:46:12,299
even though our shows are ratings rivals.
791
00:46:12,301 --> 00:46:14,760
I mean, when it comes to supporting
women in this business,
792
00:46:14,762 --> 00:46:17,637
we're all in the same boat.
793
00:46:17,639 --> 00:46:20,098
What happened to her was humiliating.
794
00:46:20,100 --> 00:46:23,101
I could never show up
at an event like this.
795
00:46:23,103 --> 00:46:25,854
I mean, to work with a sexual predator...
796
00:46:25,856 --> 00:46:27,939
I don't know what I would do.
797
00:46:27,941 --> 00:46:34,321
Thank God that's not me.
798
00:46:34,323 --> 00:46:36,281
- This is my mom.
- Hi.
799
00:46:36,283 --> 00:46:38,617
- Congratulations. Very nice to meet you.
- Thank you. Real nice to meet you.
800
00:46:38,619 --> 00:46:41,036
For the Gram. It's a boomerang.
801
00:46:41,038 --> 00:46:43,038
It is, yeah. That's so cute.
802
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:44,206
That's fine. It was great.
803
00:46:44,208 --> 00:46:46,708
- Hi, thank you for coming.
- You look gorgeous.
804
00:46:46,710 --> 00:46:48,126
Thank you, so do you.
805
00:46:48,128 --> 00:46:52,047
Congratulations. How are you, honey?
Good to see you.
806
00:46:52,049 --> 00:46:57,135
We should probably take a seat.
807
00:46:57,137 --> 00:46:58,804
- Thank you.
- There we go.
808
00:46:58,806 --> 00:47:00,055
Okay, and you guys are here.
809
00:47:00,057 --> 00:47:04,476
- Yeah. Lizzy's there, and that's where...
- Okay. And you're here.
810
00:47:04,478 --> 00:47:06,019
- I think that's Chip, right?
- I think so.
811
00:47:06,021 --> 00:47:08,605
Chip. Come here.
812
00:47:08,607 --> 00:47:10,983
- What?
- Hi.
813
00:47:10,985 --> 00:47:13,110
- That your seat?
- Yeah. Why?
814
00:47:13,112 --> 00:47:15,278
There's two extra seats here.
815
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,198
Do you think that they forgot
to take away Mitch and Paige?
816
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,534
I hope that's the worst
of our problems tonight.
817
00:47:20,536 --> 00:47:22,577
Why? Why do you say that?
What are our problems?
818
00:47:22,579 --> 00:47:24,287
Nothing, don't worry. I got it.
819
00:47:24,289 --> 00:47:25,872
Chip, you have to...
820
00:47:25,874 --> 00:47:32,546
Hi, gang. You remember Bradley Jackson?
821
00:47:32,548 --> 00:47:34,214
Here's your seat.
822
00:47:34,216 --> 00:47:36,049
This can't be right.
823
00:47:36,051 --> 00:47:39,594
Last I checked
I was the head of the network. It's right.
824
00:47:39,596 --> 00:47:46,101
- Oh, my God.
- Have a seat.
825
00:47:46,103 --> 00:47:47,436
Okay.
826
00:47:47,438 --> 00:47:58,439
Hey.
827
00:47:58,699 --> 00:48:01,742
I'm not with him, with him,
to be very clear.
828
00:48:01,744 --> 00:48:05,329
Well, that's good news for you.
829
00:48:05,331 --> 00:48:07,998
I actually don't even know
what I'm doing here.
830
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,667
Well, that makes two of us.
831
00:48:10,669 --> 00:48:13,420
I didn't wanna bother you. The...
832
00:48:13,422 --> 00:48:20,135
- What are you doing at this table?
- I don't know. Cory Ellison sat me here.
833
00:48:20,137 --> 00:48:21,803
Okay.
834
00:48:21,805 --> 00:48:27,601
Double? Got it.
835
00:48:27,603 --> 00:48:32,564
Cory, did we not just, moments ago, talk
about how Bradley Jackson is a disaster?
836
00:48:32,566 --> 00:48:34,191
We did. That's correct.
837
00:48:34,193 --> 00:48:37,944
So why is she sitting at that table
over there with our people?
838
00:48:37,946 --> 00:48:43,784
I just thought it might be a good
little wake-up call for Alex.
839
00:48:43,786 --> 00:48:55,079
I see.
840
00:49:06,767 --> 00:49:18,477
Take me home, please.
841
00:49:22,616 --> 00:49:24,282
- Alex.
- Hi.
842
00:49:24,284 --> 00:49:26,785
Congratulations. You look gorgeous.
843
00:49:26,787 --> 00:49:29,579
Thank you, Audra. Thank you.
844
00:49:29,581 --> 00:49:33,625
And I'm so sorry about everything.
845
00:49:33,627 --> 00:49:39,506
Why, Audra? I didn't fuck anyone.
846
00:49:39,508 --> 00:49:41,550
Looking forward to your speech.
847
00:49:41,552 --> 00:49:45,303
Thank you.
848
00:49:45,305 --> 00:49:56,064
Oh, God.
849
00:49:56,066 --> 00:50:01,028
Look, I know it's weird that
I'm at the table with you guys. I...
850
00:50:01,030 --> 00:50:04,531
I don't know what Cory's doing,
but I feel really stupid,
851
00:50:04,533 --> 00:50:09,786
and I feel like I've been thrown around
like a yo-yo by these guys all day.
852
00:50:09,788 --> 00:50:12,789
What guys?
853
00:50:12,791 --> 00:50:15,667
Cory Ellison. I met with him last night
854
00:50:15,669 --> 00:50:20,005
and he wanted me to meet Chip Black
about a correspondent position today,
855
00:50:20,007 --> 00:50:25,886
and now I'm here, for what reason, I don't
know, and then they sat me at your table.
856
00:50:25,888 --> 00:50:29,931
He sat you at my table to fuck with me.
857
00:50:29,933 --> 00:50:31,391
Me fuck with you?
858
00:50:31,393 --> 00:50:33,310
I don't think so. That's just funny.
859
00:50:33,312 --> 00:50:38,482
Yeah, it's funny. They're funny.
860
00:50:38,484 --> 00:50:40,150
Let me ask you a question.
861
00:50:40,152 --> 00:50:43,153
- Yeah?
- Why did you stay?
862
00:50:43,155 --> 00:50:46,531
- Stay where?
- At the table.
863
00:50:46,533 --> 00:50:52,037
If it was so uncomfortable for you,
why didn't you leave?
864
00:50:52,039 --> 00:51:00,128
You're an adult, you have agency.
Why did you stay?
865
00:51:00,130 --> 00:51:04,549
I don't have the right to tell
the head of the network to fuck off.
866
00:51:04,551 --> 00:51:06,593
I'm a nobody.
867
00:51:06,595 --> 00:51:17,930
I'm not you.
868
00:51:18,148 --> 00:51:24,861
Well, hello, Alex.
Are you ready for your big speech?
869
00:51:24,863 --> 00:51:28,824
You know what, Cory? Let's just
cut through the second-party bullshit.
870
00:51:28,826 --> 00:51:31,660
I know we're supposed
to go through our agents and legal
871
00:51:31,662 --> 00:51:34,037
and stab each other off-screen,
872
00:51:34,039 --> 00:51:37,874
but I just wanna say this to your face.
873
00:51:37,876 --> 00:51:44,715
I'm not closing without cohost approval.
874
00:51:44,717 --> 00:51:47,968
Well, I'm sorry to hear that,
because you're not getting it.
875
00:51:47,970 --> 00:51:50,804
We're not breaking precedent.
876
00:51:50,806 --> 00:51:57,602
I'm not putting the network at risk
for future deals.
877
00:51:57,604 --> 00:52:02,316
Then I'll walk.
878
00:52:02,318 --> 00:52:05,610
Then walk, Alex.
879
00:52:05,612 --> 00:52:11,825
I don't want you to be unhappy.
880
00:52:11,827 --> 00:52:25,331
By the way, we bought this award for you.
881
00:52:41,273 --> 00:52:45,692
Alex Levy is synonymous with integrity.
882
00:52:45,694 --> 00:52:48,487
She embodies the vital role
of our profession,
883
00:52:48,489 --> 00:52:53,742
not just in the politics of the nation
or the business of the nation,
884
00:52:53,744 --> 00:52:58,038
but in the everyday lives
of the American people.
885
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,957
Ladies and gentlemen,
the star of The Morning Show
886
00:53:00,959 --> 00:53:06,421
and this year's recipient of the
Leadership in Journalism Award, Alex Levy!
887
00:53:06,423 --> 00:53:17,841
Come on up.
888
00:53:45,754 --> 00:53:50,173
Thank you. Thank you, Maggie,
for those kind and beautiful words,
889
00:53:50,175 --> 00:53:53,176
and thank you to
the New York Media Foundation
890
00:53:53,178 --> 00:53:56,972
for this tremendous, tremendous honor.
891
00:53:56,974 --> 00:54:00,809
But first, I want to take this opportunity
892
00:54:00,811 --> 00:54:07,649
to apologize to all of the women
who were victimized at The Morning Show.
893
00:54:07,651 --> 00:54:11,820
I am so deeply sorry that we did not see
what was happening,
894
00:54:11,822 --> 00:54:16,199
and truth be told, it feels a bit strange
895
00:54:16,201 --> 00:54:20,996
to be accepting an award
for leadership in journalism
896
00:54:20,998 --> 00:54:26,168
when apparently this was going on
right under our noses.
897
00:54:26,170 --> 00:54:27,753
To that end,
898
00:54:27,755 --> 00:54:39,056
I would like to dedicate
this award to those women.
899
00:54:39,058 --> 00:54:41,600
And secondly, secondly,
900
00:54:41,602 --> 00:54:46,146
this is gonna be a new era
for The Morning Show
901
00:54:46,148 --> 00:54:52,402
and for women, for all women,
and unheard voices.
902
00:54:52,404 --> 00:54:57,658
Things are going to be
quite different from now on.
903
00:54:57,660 --> 00:55:03,580
So, I have some exciting news
to share with all of you tonight.
904
00:55:03,582 --> 00:55:06,958
Get out your phones.
905
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,711
I would like to take this moment
906
00:55:09,713 --> 00:55:15,175
to announce my new Morning Show cohost...
907
00:55:15,177 --> 00:55:26,637
Bradley Jackson.
908
00:55:38,620 --> 00:55:43,620
