Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,127
You gotta get that deal closed.
2
00:00:02,211 --> 00:00:04,671
And the most important thing
is cohost approval.
3
00:00:06,882 --> 00:00:10,260
Start putting together a list of names,
men who can sit next to Alex for now
4
00:00:10,344 --> 00:00:12,513
and also work with someone younger
once she's gone.
5
00:00:12,596 --> 00:00:13,597
Rapist!
6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,557
Sexual misconduct
is what I'm being accused of.
7
00:00:15,641 --> 00:00:17,267
Don't you wave your fucking hand at me!
8
00:00:17,351 --> 00:00:18,393
-Your show sucks.
-Please.
9
00:00:18,477 --> 00:00:20,145
You really think this is gonna
help you get a job?
10
00:00:20,229 --> 00:00:23,482
People like you are the reason
broadcast news is what it is.
11
00:00:23,565 --> 00:00:27,861
Do not show your face tonight.
Do not do that to Alex.
12
00:00:27,945 --> 00:00:29,071
My tux is pressed.
13
00:00:29,947 --> 00:00:31,156
I can't unpress my tux.
14
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,076
Cory would like for you to be at the
Leadership in Journalism event tonight.
15
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,411
I'm confused.
I had a meeting with Chip Charlie Black,
16
00:00:36,495 --> 00:00:38,288
and it did not go well.
17
00:00:38,372 --> 00:00:39,748
You remember Bradley Jackson?
18
00:00:39,831 --> 00:00:41,041
Oh, my God.
19
00:00:41,124 --> 00:00:43,794
But why is she sitting at that table
over there with our people?
20
00:00:43,877 --> 00:00:46,672
He sat you at my table to fuck with me.
21
00:00:46,755 --> 00:00:47,840
Me fuck with you?
22
00:00:47,923 --> 00:00:49,591
I'm not closing without cohost approval.
23
00:00:49,675 --> 00:00:51,677
Well, I'm sorry to hear that,
because you're not getting it.
24
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:52,845
Then I'll walk.
25
00:00:52,928 --> 00:00:54,221
Then walk.
26
00:00:54,304 --> 00:00:57,891
I have some exciting news
to share with all of you tonight.
27
00:00:57,975 --> 00:01:01,979
I would like to announce
my new Morning Show cohost...
28
00:02:59,337 --> 00:03:01,089
Bradley Jackson.
29
00:04:10,199 --> 00:04:11,701
Don't look too surprised.
30
00:04:11,784 --> 00:04:13,453
-All right, stand up. Up.
-Okay.
31
00:04:13,536 --> 00:04:15,496
-Bradley!
-Bradley!
32
00:04:15,580 --> 00:04:18,082
-Miss Jackson!
-Bradley, how are you feeling?
33
00:04:18,166 --> 00:04:19,792
-Smile. Smile.
-How do you feel right now, Miss Jackson?
34
00:04:20,126 --> 00:04:21,127
Is she drunk?
35
00:04:21,544 --> 00:04:22,754
That would make sense.
36
00:04:22,837 --> 00:04:25,840
Get her to the studio.
Don't let either of them make statements.
37
00:04:25,924 --> 00:04:30,428
She is the perfect person for the job,
and you will see what I'm talking about.
38
00:04:31,054 --> 00:04:32,055
Yeah.
39
00:04:32,513 --> 00:04:34,724
Hope you had fun up there.
40
00:04:34,807 --> 00:04:37,018
Oh, I'm really excited too.
41
00:04:37,101 --> 00:04:39,604
-Are you both gonna be lead anchors?
-Bradley.
42
00:04:41,814 --> 00:04:43,191
Let's go. Let's go.
43
00:04:43,274 --> 00:04:44,525
Bradley, Bradley,
44
00:04:44,609 --> 00:04:46,319
-Maggie Brener, New York Magazine.
-Hi.
45
00:04:46,402 --> 00:04:49,822
-Congratulations on--
-Maggie, my love. Tonight is a tease.
46
00:04:49,906 --> 00:04:53,451
But, Cory, how'd you manage
to keep such a delightful secret?
47
00:04:54,410 --> 00:04:57,956
Well, you guys are only interested
in the obvious choices.
48
00:04:58,039 --> 00:05:00,625
Bradley Jackson isn't obvious.
49
00:05:01,042 --> 00:05:03,795
After Mitch, we felt we needed
a big change and quickly.
50
00:05:03,878 --> 00:05:08,216
One that makes a statement
about where we intend to go.
51
00:05:08,716 --> 00:05:09,759
Where is that?
52
00:05:18,184 --> 00:05:20,353
If you guys wanna know more...
53
00:05:21,771 --> 00:05:25,566
tune in on Monday
for Alex and Bradley's first show.
54
00:05:26,025 --> 00:05:28,152
Bradley.
Bradley, how excited are you?
55
00:05:28,236 --> 00:05:30,196
How long are you gonna be
with this network?
56
00:05:30,530 --> 00:05:32,031
What are you fucking doing?
57
00:05:32,824 --> 00:05:35,118
Congratulations, Bradley Jackson.
58
00:05:35,618 --> 00:05:37,412
Your life just took off.
59
00:05:37,495 --> 00:05:39,789
Don't say anything to anyone
and meet me at the studio.
60
00:05:39,872 --> 00:05:41,416
You're changing the game.
How does it feel?
61
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,419
-Bradley! Bradley.
-Are you excited to work with Miss Levy?
62
00:05:44,502 --> 00:05:47,130
What is the statement that you would like
to make to young women?
63
00:05:47,213 --> 00:05:49,299
-I don't--
-Hey, let's get you outta here.
64
00:05:49,382 --> 00:05:50,967
They're looking at you
like you're raw meat.
65
00:05:51,050 --> 00:05:52,510
-Okay.
-Okay. We're going this way.
66
00:05:52,594 --> 00:05:53,970
-Bradley!
-Excuse me.
67
00:05:54,053 --> 00:05:55,179
This way.
68
00:05:56,472 --> 00:05:59,684
Oh, my God. What the hell just happened?
69
00:05:59,767 --> 00:06:02,186
They'll have answers for us at the studio.
Chip knows we're on our way.
70
00:06:02,270 --> 00:06:04,439
Oh, no, no. I'm going to LaGuardia.
LaGuardia, please.
71
00:06:04,522 --> 00:06:07,066
-We're not going to LaGuardia--
-Yes.
72
00:06:07,150 --> 00:06:10,570
And with all due respect, who the hell
are you to tell me what to do?
73
00:06:10,653 --> 00:06:11,905
Do you have a cigarette?
74
00:06:13,656 --> 00:06:14,657
Twenty bucks.
75
00:06:15,408 --> 00:06:17,994
Bravo, buddy.
Way to take advantage of a woman in need.
76
00:06:18,077 --> 00:06:19,454
Do you have $20?
77
00:06:20,955 --> 00:06:25,043
Yeah. Cory put it on public record
that the show is launching on Monday.
78
00:06:25,126 --> 00:06:26,586
Yeah, well, he's insane too.
79
00:06:26,669 --> 00:06:29,505
Agreed. But let's for one moment
assume you are the coanchor.
80
00:06:29,589 --> 00:06:31,716
You can assume that.
I don't want to assume that.
81
00:06:31,799 --> 00:06:34,385
I'm going to LaGuardia.
I don't wanna be the coanchor.
82
00:06:34,802 --> 00:06:36,012
Why the hell not?
83
00:06:36,095 --> 00:06:39,098
Because they're gonna use me
to try and get an Eagle News audience
84
00:06:39,182 --> 00:06:42,060
that I won't attract
because I'm not that kinda conservative.
85
00:06:42,143 --> 00:06:43,311
But you don't know that,
86
00:06:43,394 --> 00:06:46,397
because there's no way in hell
that I have been vetted.
87
00:06:46,481 --> 00:06:50,276
And I am being set up here
to be some sort of fall guy,
88
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,653
and I am not interested in that.
89
00:06:51,736 --> 00:06:52,737
Not interested.
90
00:06:53,321 --> 00:06:54,322
Do you have a light?
91
00:06:54,405 --> 00:06:55,531
No smoking, ma'am.
92
00:06:56,658 --> 00:06:58,034
You've gotta be kidding me.
93
00:06:58,826 --> 00:07:00,703
What the hell were you thinking?
94
00:07:01,204 --> 00:07:04,832
Why would you back that unhinged woman
to a room full of reporters?
95
00:07:04,916 --> 00:07:06,334
You were given clear instructions.
96
00:07:06,417 --> 00:07:10,129
Why would you box us in
to a Monday launch with that nobody?
97
00:07:10,213 --> 00:07:13,549
I feel it's a bit dismissive to refer to
them as "unhinged woman" and "nobody."
98
00:07:13,633 --> 00:07:16,636
Don't fuck with me. I need to understand
how you plan to fix this.
99
00:07:16,719 --> 00:07:20,556
Or explain to me
why I shouldn't fire you along with Levy?
100
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:25,687
Well, because that "unhinged woman"
did us a serious favor.
101
00:07:26,354 --> 00:07:30,191
Look, this show slipped in the ratings,
Fred, because the show is stale.
102
00:07:30,275 --> 00:07:33,444
Alex Levy, her sell-by date,
it expired years ago.
103
00:07:33,528 --> 00:07:35,405
She needed to go.
Everybody knew we were gonna fire her,
104
00:07:35,488 --> 00:07:37,949
but Mitch fucked that up
by fucking everything.
105
00:07:38,032 --> 00:07:39,867
So, now, everybody's curious.
What are we gonna do?
106
00:07:39,951 --> 00:07:42,745
So what we're gonna do is,
we're gonna give her this victory.
107
00:07:42,829 --> 00:07:45,331
A Pyrrhic victory.
Make her think that she's won.
108
00:07:45,415 --> 00:07:49,002
But really, we're gonna let
this "nobody" in to freshen the show.
109
00:07:49,085 --> 00:07:52,672
Juice the ratings for sweeps and finally
push Alex Levy off the shelf for good
110
00:07:52,755 --> 00:07:54,882
when it is convenient for us
111
00:07:54,966 --> 00:07:58,428
and when we don't have to look
like the bad guys.
112
00:07:58,511 --> 00:08:01,180
That doesn't explain
why we have to rush them out for Monday.
113
00:08:01,264 --> 00:08:02,265
Well, the streak.
114
00:08:02,348 --> 00:08:05,184
If we don't do something next week,
the streak is over.
115
00:08:05,268 --> 00:08:09,397
YDA is not sneaking up on us,
they're breathing down our fucking necks,
116
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,942
in spite of our "Mitch is a predator"
boost. It feels old.
117
00:08:13,026 --> 00:08:16,571
People are getting too used to their
favorite cuddly men turning into monsters,
118
00:08:16,654 --> 00:08:22,160
but watching a beloved woman's breakdown
119
00:08:22,243 --> 00:08:26,581
is timeless American entertainment.
120
00:08:30,001 --> 00:08:32,629
The Morning Show audience
values stability.
121
00:08:33,421 --> 00:08:37,342
When has it been the case that a morning
audience prefers fighting over family?
122
00:08:37,967 --> 00:08:39,802
I don't know. Families fight, Fred.
123
00:08:39,886 --> 00:08:43,848
Look, all right, hey, give me a month
of "The Alex and Bradley Show,"
124
00:08:43,932 --> 00:08:47,644
either they work well together,
or it's horrible.
125
00:08:47,727 --> 00:08:51,731
Regardless, putting Bradley in
lets us get back to replacing Alex.
126
00:08:51,814 --> 00:08:55,860
And it'll be interesting
and fun, fresh, you know,
127
00:08:55,944 --> 00:08:57,695
which is imperative right now.
128
00:08:59,906 --> 00:09:01,491
I'm gonna make something clear.
129
00:09:02,408 --> 00:09:06,496
I have an easy fall guy
when all this goes to shit.
130
00:09:08,539 --> 00:09:10,041
Oh, we're talking about me, right?
131
00:09:10,458 --> 00:09:12,752
Chaos, it's the new cocaine, Fred.
132
00:09:14,295 --> 00:09:15,546
You screwed yourself.
133
00:09:15,630 --> 00:09:19,175
Committed a fireable offense,
overtly in breach of contract.
134
00:09:19,259 --> 00:09:23,054
We'll be lucky if the network
even continues negotiations.
135
00:09:24,055 --> 00:09:27,475
You need to go in and find Fred
and apologize tonight.
136
00:09:28,518 --> 00:09:32,522
Right, right.
Is there an alternative option?
137
00:09:32,605 --> 00:09:34,607
Not unless you wanna pull the rehab card.
138
00:09:34,691 --> 00:09:36,859
We could say you were emotional
about Mitch.
139
00:09:36,943 --> 00:09:38,987
But I'm not emotional about Mitch.
140
00:09:39,070 --> 00:09:40,947
I was emotional because
no one's fucking listening to me!
141
00:09:41,030 --> 00:09:43,741
Mom! What's going on? Are you? Are you--
142
00:09:43,824 --> 00:09:46,243
-Yes, I'm fine. Sorry.
-Let's just take a beat here, please.
143
00:09:46,327 --> 00:09:50,081
-Sarah, listen. I'm going to handle this.
-It's okay. It's okay.
144
00:09:50,164 --> 00:09:52,750
Then put on your apology face
and fucking mean it.
145
00:09:52,834 --> 00:09:55,712
-Absolutely. I completely understand.
-Do you understand?
146
00:09:57,005 --> 00:09:58,089
Guys, guys.
147
00:09:58,172 --> 00:10:01,551
Listen, don't--
Honey, baby. Honey, listen to me.
148
00:10:01,968 --> 00:10:06,055
Sometimes women can't ask for control.
149
00:10:06,139 --> 00:10:08,766
So, they have to take it, okay?
150
00:10:10,476 --> 00:10:11,477
Okay.
151
00:10:11,561 --> 00:10:14,522
I want you to remember that. Okay, baby?
152
00:10:14,606 --> 00:10:15,982
-Okay.
-Okay.
153
00:10:27,452 --> 00:10:31,289
Okay. Everybody knows you're here.
They want you to sit tight for 15 minutes.
154
00:10:31,372 --> 00:10:32,498
I will not sit tight.
155
00:10:32,582 --> 00:10:33,791
There are some snacks. Some TV.
156
00:10:33,875 --> 00:10:35,752
There's definitely some booze
around here somewhere.
157
00:10:35,835 --> 00:10:37,253
They're deciding my life out there.
158
00:10:37,337 --> 00:10:39,797
Yes, and I know that's insane,
but Alex is meeting with the CEO.
159
00:10:39,881 --> 00:10:42,800
Chip is gathering the staff, and if you're
even remotely considering doing this--
160
00:10:42,884 --> 00:10:44,010
I don't know what this is.
161
00:10:44,093 --> 00:10:45,553
You need to let them come to you.
162
00:10:45,637 --> 00:10:48,264
You need to let yourself take a breath.
Have a fucking drink.
163
00:10:48,681 --> 00:10:50,058
Think about what you want.
164
00:10:52,977 --> 00:10:54,854
Consider this the start
of me being a great producer.
165
00:10:54,938 --> 00:10:56,564
-You're not my producer.
-Yet.
166
00:11:03,446 --> 00:11:04,447
Oh, my God.
167
00:11:08,660 --> 00:11:09,953
Hal, where have you been?
168
00:11:10,036 --> 00:11:12,872
You cannot seriously
be making this about me right now.
169
00:11:12,956 --> 00:11:15,959
Okay? Can we please talk about you?
You're all over the news.
170
00:11:16,584 --> 00:11:17,585
This is so weird.
171
00:11:17,669 --> 00:11:20,505
Yeah, no kidding. Is Mom okay?
172
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:25,802
She's pissed at me.
173
00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:30,014
She said you embarrassed her with
her friends because you didn't tell her.
174
00:11:30,098 --> 00:11:31,099
I didn't know.
175
00:11:32,558 --> 00:11:33,935
Is this even real?
176
00:11:36,104 --> 00:11:38,648
Fuck, Hal. I hope not.
177
00:11:46,531 --> 00:11:49,325
-Hey. She's waiting in the green room.
-You're a god.
178
00:11:49,409 --> 00:11:51,661
-Is this for real? Or are--
-Fucking hope not.
179
00:11:51,744 --> 00:11:54,455
What the hell was she thinking?
It's a room full of press, and she just--
180
00:11:54,539 --> 00:11:56,499
I think she was thinking
it would be effective.
181
00:11:56,583 --> 00:11:57,584
-Yeah, well...
-So?
182
00:11:57,667 --> 00:12:02,755
Wait till she finds out Bradley Jackson
is a fucking raving lunatic. Jesus.
183
00:12:03,298 --> 00:12:04,799
-Chip.
-What?
184
00:12:05,174 --> 00:12:06,384
I wanna produce her.
185
00:12:07,635 --> 00:12:08,636
Why?
186
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,680
Because I've been in purgatory.
I'm too good for that.
187
00:12:10,763 --> 00:12:13,016
If this is real,
you should put your best person on it,
188
00:12:13,099 --> 00:12:17,312
and you know that's fucking me,
and, honestly, I like her,
189
00:12:17,729 --> 00:12:19,939
which could go a long way
to making this work.
190
00:12:21,733 --> 00:12:23,693
If this works,
it's gonna be a fucking disaster,
191
00:12:23,776 --> 00:12:24,861
and you're gonna be tied to it.
192
00:12:24,944 --> 00:12:27,572
Yeah, I've been tied to disasters before.
193
00:12:28,489 --> 00:12:29,949
I want this, Chip.
194
00:12:34,913 --> 00:12:38,958
Hold on. Let's just get some quiet.
Can I get quiet for two seconds, please?
195
00:12:39,042 --> 00:12:43,630
I refuse to accept any of this as reality.
Fuck. Jesus.
196
00:12:47,675 --> 00:12:48,718
Who died?
197
00:12:49,886 --> 00:12:51,220
Ideally, not my show.
198
00:12:52,597 --> 00:12:54,182
Come on, Chip. Cheer the fuck up.
199
00:12:54,265 --> 00:12:56,851
We're in the middle of an epic rebirth.
200
00:12:57,685 --> 00:12:58,895
So, this is happening?
201
00:12:59,938 --> 00:13:03,024
Look, I do know that this comes
as a bit of a surprise.
202
00:13:03,107 --> 00:13:05,360
Alex jumped the gun a little bit
on the announcement,
203
00:13:05,443 --> 00:13:08,738
but we've been quietly vetting Bradley
for a while now,
204
00:13:08,821 --> 00:13:11,282
looking for someone with
that kind of unpredictable energy.
205
00:13:11,366 --> 00:13:14,744
And I know Monday feels fast.
That's why we hired a veteran.
206
00:13:14,827 --> 00:13:17,664
Not an anchor veteran.
Zero anchor experience, in fact.
207
00:13:18,414 --> 00:13:22,085
But she has got raw talent
coming out of her pores.
208
00:13:22,543 --> 00:13:23,795
And you know it.
209
00:13:24,963 --> 00:13:26,589
So, let's get moving, people.
210
00:13:26,673 --> 00:13:30,635
We've got 48 hours to define
the character of Bradley Jackson.
211
00:13:30,718 --> 00:13:32,971
I want wardrobe tests, screen tests,
makeup tests.
212
00:13:33,054 --> 00:13:34,722
I wanna have those tests focus-grouped.
213
00:13:34,806 --> 00:13:36,224
We need a contract. Where's legal?
214
00:13:36,307 --> 00:13:38,309
I'm telling you,
it's not a given she'll go on air Monday.
215
00:13:39,185 --> 00:13:40,270
Are you legal?
216
00:13:41,104 --> 00:13:44,274
I'm Mia Jordan, Bradley's producer.
217
00:13:46,234 --> 00:13:47,777
Well, that happened fast.
218
00:13:49,612 --> 00:13:52,699
Yeah, I felt I was a few steps behind,
219
00:13:52,782 --> 00:13:56,035
so I wanted one of my best people
to manage the circus.
220
00:14:00,039 --> 00:14:03,001
Well, just make sure
that she can read a teleprompter.
221
00:14:04,377 --> 00:14:08,047
I don't want to rain on the parade,
but I snaked a Mitch accuser from YDA.
222
00:14:10,383 --> 00:14:12,093
-You got a Mitch accuser?
-Yeah.
223
00:14:12,176 --> 00:14:14,429
Not great optics to launch a new anchor
224
00:14:14,512 --> 00:14:17,140
next to a sexual assault victim's
brave return.
225
00:14:17,223 --> 00:14:19,642
Are you kidding me? That's perfect.
226
00:14:19,726 --> 00:14:20,727
What is your name?
227
00:14:20,810 --> 00:14:22,604
-Hannah. I'm head booker.
-Hannah.
228
00:14:22,687 --> 00:14:28,192
Hannah nailed it,
'cause we're creating a safe space here.
229
00:14:28,276 --> 00:14:30,069
It's a feminine space.
230
00:14:30,153 --> 00:14:32,864
This is an era for The Morning Show
231
00:14:32,947 --> 00:14:36,826
where women make the rules
and give voice to the silenced.
232
00:14:37,535 --> 00:14:40,413
Speaking of which,
nobody says a fucking word to the press.
233
00:14:40,496 --> 00:14:41,998
They're gonna be circling us
like vultures.
234
00:14:42,081 --> 00:14:45,168
So, anyone who leaks will be murdered...
235
00:14:46,544 --> 00:14:47,837
career-wise.
236
00:14:48,171 --> 00:14:52,008
Okay. I'm gonna run upstairs
to the public spanking of Alex Levy.
237
00:14:59,057 --> 00:15:00,475
Neal, I have an idea.
238
00:15:00,558 --> 00:15:02,352
I know it's only been a few days,
239
00:15:02,435 --> 00:15:04,229
and I know that you're gonna tell me
it's too soon,
240
00:15:04,312 --> 00:15:08,983
but let's just for a second,
look at the larger context of #MeToo.
241
00:15:09,692 --> 00:15:11,945
It's been, what? Two years?
242
00:15:12,028 --> 00:15:13,363
We're two years in.
243
00:15:13,947 --> 00:15:17,617
I feel that people are screaming
for an honest conversation.
244
00:15:18,534 --> 00:15:19,911
And what do I do?
245
00:15:20,912 --> 00:15:21,955
What do I do best?
246
00:15:22,789 --> 00:15:24,374
I am a journalist.
247
00:15:24,457 --> 00:15:28,294
I can feel when the world needs me
to articulate something for them.
248
00:15:28,378 --> 00:15:30,797
To help them understand.
249
00:15:31,965 --> 00:15:36,344
And believe me, I know this is gonna
require a high degree of sensitivity.
250
00:15:37,470 --> 00:15:40,807
But I fucking love a tightrope. I love it.
It makes me feel alive.
251
00:15:41,641 --> 00:15:44,519
You know what?
Maybe all of this happened for a reason.
252
00:15:44,602 --> 00:15:49,816
Because I think that if I can get
in there, and I can show my face,
253
00:15:49,899 --> 00:15:54,529
and I can look and address
the darkness that exists within--
254
00:15:54,612 --> 00:15:56,197
You're gonna answer--
255
00:15:56,281 --> 00:15:57,407
Fuck.
256
00:16:02,203 --> 00:16:03,663
Who is Bradley Jackson?
257
00:16:09,210 --> 00:16:11,921
Mitch, I love you.
258
00:16:12,338 --> 00:16:13,881
I mean, you know that's true.
259
00:16:13,965 --> 00:16:15,592
You're a fantastic talent.
260
00:16:16,551 --> 00:16:22,140
But the fact of the matter is that
a working relationship is based on work,
261
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,727
and that's not gonna
be happening for a while.
262
00:16:27,478 --> 00:16:29,105
Are you dropping me, Neal?
263
00:16:34,277 --> 00:16:37,864
We have a lot of female clients
that are journalists that we represent.
264
00:16:37,947 --> 00:16:38,948
You understand?
265
00:16:39,032 --> 00:16:41,409
There are certain pressures
brought to bear on us.
266
00:16:41,492 --> 00:16:44,078
Believe me, I wish it was different
than the way it is,
267
00:16:44,162 --> 00:16:45,580
but this is the reality now.
268
00:16:46,164 --> 00:16:47,916
Maybe you should sign Bradley Jackson,
269
00:16:47,999 --> 00:16:49,792
whoever the fuck that is.
270
00:16:51,169 --> 00:16:52,754
Would you like me to leave?
271
00:16:53,713 --> 00:16:54,714
Yes.
272
00:17:09,729 --> 00:17:11,064
I don't feel I need to remind you
273
00:17:11,147 --> 00:17:14,442
that this network has been
very good to you over the years.
274
00:17:15,193 --> 00:17:18,071
We have always shown you
personal and professional respect.
275
00:17:18,780 --> 00:17:21,783
I never anticipated we would be met
with such utter disrespect
276
00:17:21,866 --> 00:17:24,160
and insubordination in return.
277
00:17:26,829 --> 00:17:30,959
This network has every right
to terminate you immediately.
278
00:17:32,168 --> 00:17:34,712
You have placed us
in an impossible situation.
279
00:17:34,796 --> 00:17:36,839
You have embarrassed yourself.
280
00:17:36,923 --> 00:17:40,802
You have done something
unforgivably selfish.
281
00:17:41,261 --> 00:17:43,930
And for what? To what end?
282
00:17:44,973 --> 00:17:48,017
I find myself wondering if we can
even trust you with the privilege
283
00:17:48,101 --> 00:17:50,603
of being on air for The Morning Show.
284
00:17:54,148 --> 00:17:55,149
Are you done?
285
00:17:57,068 --> 00:17:58,069
I'm sorry?
286
00:18:00,655 --> 00:18:05,910
The part you guys never seem to realize
is that you don't have the power anymore.
287
00:18:07,245 --> 00:18:10,373
The news division is held up by my show.
288
00:18:11,165 --> 00:18:15,211
And the only thing keeping us afloat
is me.
289
00:18:16,462 --> 00:18:18,005
Because guess what?
290
00:18:18,923 --> 00:18:21,341
America loves me.
291
00:18:23,094 --> 00:18:25,680
And therefore, I own America.
292
00:18:27,139 --> 00:18:30,560
It seems pretty fucking simple,
but so easy for you guys to forget.
293
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,397
Are you actually trying
to justify your action--
294
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,982
You're not listening!
295
00:18:36,398 --> 00:18:38,693
I don't need to justify anything.
296
00:18:39,694 --> 00:18:44,240
You all are so convinced that you are
the rightful owner of all of the power
297
00:18:44,324 --> 00:18:45,783
that it doesn't even occur to you
298
00:18:45,867 --> 00:18:48,494
that someone else
could be in the driver's seat.
299
00:18:49,913 --> 00:18:54,876
And so, we have to just gingerly step
around your male egos
300
00:18:54,959 --> 00:18:58,463
in order to not burst
this precious little bubble.
301
00:18:59,714 --> 00:19:00,924
Well, surprise!
302
00:19:01,841 --> 00:19:03,217
I'm bursting it.
303
00:19:08,181 --> 00:19:10,558
We are doing this my way.
304
00:19:12,143 --> 00:19:15,521
Because, frankly, I've let you bozos
handle this long enough.
305
00:19:21,486 --> 00:19:23,488
Not the apology you were expecting?
306
00:19:42,548 --> 00:19:43,758
Wanna take a seat?
307
00:19:46,344 --> 00:19:48,388
Is that an invitation or a command?
308
00:19:48,721 --> 00:19:50,515
You sound a little pissed off.
309
00:19:51,224 --> 00:19:52,934
I don't like surprises.
310
00:19:53,017 --> 00:19:54,978
Come on. That was a pretty good surprise.
311
00:19:55,061 --> 00:19:57,230
No. You don't get to make this about me.
312
00:19:57,313 --> 00:20:01,442
You dropped a bomb, and I don't know why.
Maybe you're trying to blow up your life.
313
00:20:01,526 --> 00:20:03,403
Maybe you were angry, which I get,
314
00:20:04,404 --> 00:20:06,406
but you don't have the right
to fuck with me.
315
00:20:06,823 --> 00:20:08,032
Fuck with you? How?
316
00:20:08,825 --> 00:20:12,203
By offering you
the most coveted anchor job in the world?
317
00:20:12,287 --> 00:20:13,288
I don't want your job.
318
00:20:13,371 --> 00:20:15,832
Oh, honey, bullshit.
319
00:20:16,332 --> 00:20:19,460
You are so cocky.
You just think I'm gonna do this?
320
00:20:20,795 --> 00:20:22,255
I know you're going to do this.
321
00:20:22,964 --> 00:20:24,215
I don't have a contract.
322
00:20:24,299 --> 00:20:28,636
Well, great. I just put you
in a great spot to negotiate.
323
00:20:29,053 --> 00:20:30,722
This job is yours.
324
00:20:31,306 --> 00:20:33,808
I'm welcoming you with open arms.
325
00:20:33,891 --> 00:20:37,937
I'm giving you the biggest news platform
you could ever have.
326
00:20:38,271 --> 00:20:41,316
If you're a true journalist,
you don't say no to this.
327
00:20:41,399 --> 00:20:44,152
I'm not sure
this is considered true journalism.
328
00:20:46,446 --> 00:20:50,450
And how many current or former presidents
have you interviewed?
329
00:20:53,286 --> 00:20:56,456
This job requires
a certain kind of positivity.
330
00:20:56,539 --> 00:20:57,832
I'm not a perky person.
331
00:20:57,916 --> 00:21:00,251
I don't care.
I don't want us to be the same.
332
00:21:00,668 --> 00:21:03,338
I'm not looking to groom my replacement.
333
00:21:04,088 --> 00:21:05,131
I want a partner.
334
00:21:06,341 --> 00:21:07,550
Do you?
335
00:21:07,634 --> 00:21:09,886
Or do you want somebody
who's beholden to you?
336
00:21:09,969 --> 00:21:13,139
Somebody who's grateful
that you plucked them from obscurity?
337
00:21:13,222 --> 00:21:17,352
Because if that's what you're hoping for,
I will give you serious buyer's remorse.
338
00:21:19,270 --> 00:21:21,189
You are convinced that you know me.
339
00:21:22,649 --> 00:21:25,318
I can guarantee that you are
underestimating me.
340
00:21:25,777 --> 00:21:28,655
And I am really fucking over
people doing that.
341
00:21:30,531 --> 00:21:32,533
I want you here at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow.
342
00:21:33,034 --> 00:21:36,537
I suggest that you get up at 5:00.
4:00 on Sunday.
343
00:21:37,372 --> 00:21:39,332
Start getting yourself conditioned.
344
00:21:40,917 --> 00:21:42,126
Alex...
345
00:21:45,380 --> 00:21:46,798
I don't like being used.
346
00:21:46,881 --> 00:21:48,258
Oh, my God.
347
00:21:48,675 --> 00:21:52,512
Could you just try, like, taking advantage
of the situation presented?
348
00:21:53,471 --> 00:21:55,682
That sounds like something
you might enjoy.
349
00:21:56,975 --> 00:21:59,519
Come on. See you tomorrow.
350
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,037
We're gonna hit up
a lot of the nitty-gritty today,
351
00:22:18,121 --> 00:22:21,541
because being a morning show anchor
is the hardest job on television bar none.
352
00:22:21,624 --> 00:22:24,460
So, we're gonna meet with makeup,
wardrobe, we'll do some screen tests.
353
00:22:24,544 --> 00:22:26,963
We'll meet with marketing,
publicity, research.
354
00:22:27,046 --> 00:22:29,090
We're gonna drill transitions.
355
00:22:29,173 --> 00:22:32,260
Look, the other thing is that,
and don't shoot the messenger,
356
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,345
the show will be heavily scripted.
357
00:22:34,429 --> 00:22:35,513
What do you mean by "heavily"?
358
00:22:35,597 --> 00:22:38,641
Completely.
It's gonna be completely scripted.
359
00:22:38,725 --> 00:22:42,812
No, I'm not a novice. I don't like
things to be overtly scripted.
360
00:22:42,896 --> 00:22:46,441
It sort of eliminates any possibility
of something truthful happening.
361
00:22:46,524 --> 00:22:49,110
Plus, I have a habit
of going off-script sometimes.
362
00:22:49,193 --> 00:22:50,403
Two-Fucks Jackson.
363
00:22:50,820 --> 00:22:53,072
Well, I see the research
has finally begun.
364
00:22:53,156 --> 00:22:55,033
I can relate to a good self-sabotage,
365
00:22:55,116 --> 00:22:58,536
but it cannot happen on The Morning Show.
366
00:22:58,620 --> 00:23:03,583
Okay, Mia, listen. I get that you're
excited and y'all want this to work out.
367
00:23:03,666 --> 00:23:06,544
I just don't know how I feel about being
forced onto national television
368
00:23:06,628 --> 00:23:08,546
just to make an ass of myself.
369
00:23:08,630 --> 00:23:12,175
I wanna be clear, by showing up today,
I'm not agreeing to this,
370
00:23:12,258 --> 00:23:15,136
and I'm not signing a contract, okay?
371
00:23:16,095 --> 00:23:18,014
Baby steps, okay?
372
00:23:20,266 --> 00:23:21,851
You know who's the most excited?
373
00:23:21,935 --> 00:23:23,144
-Who?
-Alex.
374
00:23:23,519 --> 00:23:24,520
Seriously.
375
00:23:24,604 --> 00:23:26,564
She's gonna be shepherding you
through this entire weekend,
376
00:23:26,648 --> 00:23:28,816
along with me, of course.
377
00:23:29,275 --> 00:23:31,778
Okay? She really wants
to take a firm hand in this.
378
00:23:31,861 --> 00:23:34,072
-She really cares.
-She does?
379
00:23:34,155 --> 00:23:36,407
Absolutely.
This whole weekend is about you.
380
00:23:36,491 --> 00:23:39,661
Getting to know Bradley Jackson,
who you are, what's important to you.
381
00:23:40,328 --> 00:23:42,455
Really? You think I can define myself?
382
00:23:43,539 --> 00:23:44,540
Absolutely.
383
00:23:45,250 --> 00:23:47,752
This is gonna be fun. Watch.
384
00:23:47,835 --> 00:23:48,878
Can't wait.
385
00:23:51,631 --> 00:23:54,008
You guys, thank you. Thank you, but no.
386
00:23:54,092 --> 00:23:56,552
Fucking no. I'm sorry.
I know you're tired,
387
00:23:56,636 --> 00:23:59,722
and I know you hate me right now,
but I really don't give a shit.
388
00:23:59,806 --> 00:24:04,727
All we have to do is figure out
who Bradley Jackson is next to Alex Levy.
389
00:24:04,811 --> 00:24:07,021
Who do you partner with a 24-karat bitch?
390
00:24:08,231 --> 00:24:10,233
That's actually really funny. Don't...
391
00:24:10,650 --> 00:24:11,943
Good morning.
392
00:24:12,527 --> 00:24:15,196
Oh, good to see you're all
in such good spirits today.
393
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,115
Milk Bar for the writers.
394
00:24:17,198 --> 00:24:21,452
Yes, I'm shamelessly bribing you
with sugar for working overtime.
395
00:24:21,536 --> 00:24:22,829
So, you're joining us?
396
00:24:23,246 --> 00:24:24,247
Absolutely.
397
00:24:24,664 --> 00:24:27,625
We were just discussing the enigma
that is Bradley Jackson.
398
00:24:27,709 --> 00:24:28,918
Fabulous.
399
00:24:29,002 --> 00:24:30,587
So, if you'd give us a few minutes--
400
00:24:30,670 --> 00:24:32,505
No, I'd actually like to get in on that.
401
00:24:32,922 --> 00:24:35,133
-It's actually why I'm here.
-To discuss Bradley?
402
00:24:35,967 --> 00:24:37,510
Among other things.
403
00:24:38,678 --> 00:24:42,015
Look, guys, this is a pressure-cooker
moment, all right?
404
00:24:42,098 --> 00:24:43,933
This is a massive transition.
405
00:24:44,017 --> 00:24:45,894
We are redefining ourselves,
406
00:24:45,977 --> 00:24:49,981
and I need to make sure
that we are all on the same page.
407
00:24:50,064 --> 00:24:51,441
So I'm gonna be here all weekend.
408
00:24:52,358 --> 00:24:54,110
-All weekend?
-Yeah, all weekend.
409
00:24:54,193 --> 00:24:55,695
Sean typed up a schedule. Sean.
410
00:24:55,778 --> 00:24:57,614
So, I spoke to wardrobe,
411
00:24:57,697 --> 00:25:02,452
and they're going to screen test some
looks that will appeal to her demographic.
412
00:25:02,535 --> 00:25:05,413
And then I want us to bang out some copy
413
00:25:05,496 --> 00:25:08,791
so that we can talk about what segments
that we will be giving to Bradley.
414
00:25:08,875 --> 00:25:10,710
What time does Ashley Brown get here?
415
00:25:10,793 --> 00:25:12,211
-Around 10:00.
-10:00. Okay, great.
416
00:25:12,295 --> 00:25:14,088
I'll do her pre-interview then.
417
00:25:14,172 --> 00:25:16,966
Sorry, should I know who Ashley Brown is?
418
00:25:17,050 --> 00:25:18,176
Mitch's victim.
419
00:25:18,259 --> 00:25:19,761
No, let's not call her a victim.
420
00:25:19,844 --> 00:25:21,638
Okay, what should we call her then?
421
00:25:21,721 --> 00:25:24,474
I think "accuser" feels more appropriate.
422
00:25:24,933 --> 00:25:28,394
Look, if she wants to call herself
a victim, we can take our lead from her.
423
00:25:28,478 --> 00:25:31,522
But I think it's important
that she feels in control of it.
424
00:25:31,606 --> 00:25:33,399
In control of the language used.
425
00:25:33,483 --> 00:25:37,820
So, just to be clear,
and I appreciate the typed-up schedule,
426
00:25:38,988 --> 00:25:41,032
you're doing the Ashley Brown interview?
427
00:25:43,576 --> 00:25:44,911
Yes, I am, Chip.
428
00:25:49,374 --> 00:25:50,458
What?
429
00:25:51,751 --> 00:25:54,462
Okay. All right, team.
430
00:25:55,088 --> 00:25:57,507
I will address the elephant in the room.
431
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,722
Yes, yes. I worked side by side with Mitch
for 15 years.
432
00:26:05,265 --> 00:26:07,100
God knows he was not perfect.
433
00:26:07,558 --> 00:26:09,143
I felt it daily.
434
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,230
But I didn't know he was that guy.
435
00:26:13,773 --> 00:26:15,108
And that's a problem.
436
00:26:16,526 --> 00:26:18,111
I fell asleep at the wheel.
437
00:26:19,487 --> 00:26:22,490
But I want you to know that I am here now.
438
00:26:23,157 --> 00:26:24,617
And I'm here for Ashley,
439
00:26:25,535 --> 00:26:26,911
and I'm here for you.
440
00:26:27,328 --> 00:26:30,039
I'm available, I'm accessible,
and I'm awake.
441
00:26:33,626 --> 00:26:35,712
So, shall we?
442
00:26:39,799 --> 00:26:44,846
Stay on two. As we said, go with Yanko.
Go with Yanko.
443
00:26:44,929 --> 00:26:47,307
If you live in New England, not so fast.
444
00:26:47,390 --> 00:26:49,976
You'll be seeing one last snowfall
of the season.
445
00:26:50,059 --> 00:26:53,605
We do have some exciting wind blowing
our way down here in New York City too,
446
00:26:53,688 --> 00:26:56,816
and she goes by the name
of Bradley Jackson.
447
00:26:56,900 --> 00:26:58,401
-See what I did there?
-Very smooth.
448
00:26:58,484 --> 00:26:59,903
Welcome to command center.
449
00:26:59,986 --> 00:27:05,116
I may be stating the obvious, but it's
a pretty exciting weekend here at TMS.
450
00:27:05,199 --> 00:27:07,619
We have our new Morning Show cohost,
Bradley, in the halls,
451
00:27:07,702 --> 00:27:11,497
and she and Alex are prepping a really,
really amazing show for this Monday.
452
00:27:11,581 --> 00:27:12,707
That's right, Daniel.
453
00:27:12,790 --> 00:27:16,544
And that includes an interview with our
very own former colleague Ashley Brown,
454
00:27:16,628 --> 00:27:20,590
who has bravely agreed to return and talk
about her experience with Mitch Kessler.
455
00:27:21,299 --> 00:27:22,467
That's going to be something.
456
00:27:22,550 --> 00:27:24,677
-Yeah. It's very, very brave.
-Yeah. Big stuff.
457
00:27:24,761 --> 00:27:27,055
We hope you spend
your Monday morning with our new family.
458
00:27:27,138 --> 00:27:28,139
I'm Daniel Henderson.
459
00:27:28,222 --> 00:27:29,223
I'm Alison Namazi.
460
00:27:29,307 --> 00:27:30,350
I'm Yanko Flores.
461
00:27:30,433 --> 00:27:32,685
And this was the weekend edition
of The Morning Show.
462
00:27:32,769 --> 00:27:34,604
-Ready, four?
-Until next time.
463
00:27:34,687 --> 00:27:37,690
Take four. Insert. Roll credits.
464
00:27:40,276 --> 00:27:43,363
'Cause America loves a good Cinderella
story, just as long as she's a white girl.
465
00:27:43,446 --> 00:27:46,866
Please. Disney got you a black princess,
like, what, 2008?
466
00:27:46,950 --> 00:27:47,951
He's not wrong.
467
00:27:48,034 --> 00:27:50,453
-I don't recall that.
-You didn't see it. There was a frog.
468
00:27:50,870 --> 00:27:53,373
Bradley. Hi. Claire. We met the other day.
469
00:27:53,456 --> 00:27:55,458
-Yeah, yeah. I remember.
-I'm with the digital team today.
470
00:27:55,541 --> 00:27:58,503
If it's cool, I'm gonna shadow you
while we do your screen tests.
471
00:27:58,586 --> 00:28:01,381
Give people a front-row look
on how we make a star.
472
00:28:03,258 --> 00:28:06,135
Sorry, they told me to say that.
Stupid. Let's go.
473
00:28:06,219 --> 00:28:07,220
Okay.
474
00:28:07,303 --> 00:28:08,763
Fuck me.
475
00:28:11,015 --> 00:28:14,894
Tell me why
I shouldn't hand in my resignation now.
476
00:28:16,187 --> 00:28:17,814
Daniel, I could write you a fucking book.
477
00:28:17,897 --> 00:28:20,525
Yesterday,
you said it was my chair to lose.
478
00:28:20,608 --> 00:28:22,777
And I don't recall fucking up the pass.
479
00:28:22,860 --> 00:28:26,739
So why am I out there previewing
a conservative beauty queen?
480
00:28:26,823 --> 00:28:29,826
You know, she's not a beauty queen,
and she's actually more of a libertarian,
481
00:28:29,909 --> 00:28:30,910
so I don't know.
482
00:28:30,994 --> 00:28:33,329
-Chip, I'm out.
-Daniel, come on. Hold on.
483
00:28:33,413 --> 00:28:35,206
Take a breath, take a breath,
take a breath.
484
00:28:35,290 --> 00:28:37,959
I have been told to take deep breaths
my whole life.
485
00:28:38,042 --> 00:28:39,627
I can't do it anymore.
486
00:28:39,711 --> 00:28:40,795
Daniel, I'm telling you,
487
00:28:40,878 --> 00:28:43,881
you walk out that door, you're never
gonna get back in when the chair opens up.
488
00:28:43,965 --> 00:28:45,008
And when will that be?
489
00:28:45,091 --> 00:28:46,551
Because women live longer than men,
490
00:28:46,634 --> 00:28:49,220
and those two
look like they do a lot of Pilates.
491
00:28:49,304 --> 00:28:51,973
Read the tea leaves!
Bradley Jackson is a nobody.
492
00:28:52,056 --> 00:28:55,310
Alex is... clearly struggling, you know?
493
00:28:55,393 --> 00:28:59,439
It was a desperate move from someone
who had their fucking ego bruised, okay?
494
00:28:59,522 --> 00:29:01,649
This will fail.
495
00:29:01,733 --> 00:29:06,154
And, when it does,
maybe two chairs are gonna open up.
496
00:29:07,030 --> 00:29:10,700
Okay? So, please, I'm begging you,
497
00:29:12,952 --> 00:29:14,954
ride with me through this shitstorm,
498
00:29:15,371 --> 00:29:18,082
and I promise you
the show will be yours in the end.
499
00:29:32,221 --> 00:29:33,431
Here we go.
500
00:29:37,185 --> 00:29:38,311
Yeah!
501
00:29:42,023 --> 00:29:43,024
Here's the thing.
502
00:29:43,107 --> 00:29:46,361
Everything can be recontextualized.
503
00:29:46,444 --> 00:29:48,863
They take my movies that I directed,
504
00:29:48,947 --> 00:29:51,866
and they pervert them
to fit a convenient narrative.
505
00:29:52,533 --> 00:29:54,452
Hugging and Loving, right?
506
00:29:54,535 --> 00:29:55,620
That's a veiled portrait
507
00:29:55,703 --> 00:29:58,081
of my grandmother's assimilation story,
for God's sake.
508
00:29:58,164 --> 00:30:00,583
That is a terrific film.
That's my mom's favorite film.
509
00:30:00,667 --> 00:30:05,588
So, now, it's about what I apparently did
to all my leading ladies.
510
00:30:06,172 --> 00:30:07,966
Well, when did hugging become a sin?
511
00:30:08,049 --> 00:30:09,842
Fuck it. I love to hug.
512
00:30:09,926 --> 00:30:11,386
Huggings are nice.
513
00:30:11,469 --> 00:30:14,555
Yeah. Jeez. That is crazy.
514
00:30:14,639 --> 00:30:19,727
No, no, no. Crazy is how they loved
the title Jessica Over Easy
515
00:30:19,811 --> 00:30:22,730
and then, of course, now they just
rip me to shreds over it.
516
00:30:22,814 --> 00:30:26,025
God damn it. You know what?
They just twist everything.
517
00:30:26,109 --> 00:30:29,237
I don't even understand
what their message is they're sending out.
518
00:30:29,696 --> 00:30:32,865
That women are not allowed to be
in possession of their sexual choices?
519
00:30:32,949 --> 00:30:34,951
When they fixate on us,
they lose sight of the issues.
520
00:30:35,034 --> 00:30:36,578
I actually feel bad for the kids.
521
00:30:36,661 --> 00:30:38,663
'Cause there's nothing sexy about consent.
522
00:30:40,373 --> 00:30:41,457
Well...
523
00:30:41,541 --> 00:30:45,712
That came out wrong, and that was creepy.
524
00:30:46,254 --> 00:30:47,880
I guess what I'm saying is...
525
00:30:48,339 --> 00:30:51,092
humanity happens in the unspoken moments,
526
00:30:51,175 --> 00:30:55,013
and I just feel badly for a generation
that loses that.
527
00:30:56,097 --> 00:30:57,765
Wow. That's really well said.
528
00:31:00,184 --> 00:31:01,477
Fuck it.
529
00:31:01,561 --> 00:31:02,562
Fuck it.
530
00:31:03,146 --> 00:31:04,439
We're not in prison.
531
00:31:05,315 --> 00:31:06,774
Prison of public opinion.
532
00:31:07,984 --> 00:31:09,694
That's exactly what I wanna talk about.
533
00:31:10,612 --> 00:31:13,323
The discussion, this whole Me Too thing,
534
00:31:14,073 --> 00:31:17,160
it is so fucking puritanical and myopic.
535
00:31:17,243 --> 00:31:18,369
No one is addressing it.
536
00:31:18,453 --> 00:31:22,081
A woman can say one thing about you.
537
00:31:22,165 --> 00:31:24,167
It doesn't matter what her motivation is.
538
00:31:24,250 --> 00:31:27,086
And everything you've done in your life...
gone.
539
00:31:27,170 --> 00:31:29,505
Your career erased.
540
00:31:29,923 --> 00:31:31,257
You deserve better, buddy.
541
00:31:32,258 --> 00:31:33,468
You deserve better.
542
00:31:35,553 --> 00:31:36,763
I have an idea.
543
00:31:38,222 --> 00:31:41,517
We do a documentary.
You direct it. I do the interviews.
544
00:31:41,601 --> 00:31:44,437
We make them look at it.
We make them look at us.
545
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,981
We ask to be a part of the conversation.
546
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:48,650
I mean...
547
00:31:49,734 --> 00:31:51,527
we did something wrong, okay.
548
00:31:51,945 --> 00:31:52,946
What?
549
00:31:53,029 --> 00:31:54,656
If that's the way you feel, fine,
550
00:31:54,739 --> 00:31:56,950
but explain it to me,
'cause I don't fucking get it.
551
00:31:57,033 --> 00:31:58,868
A conversation with the victims.
552
00:31:58,952 --> 00:32:01,704
Yes. And I think we can do it
in a really smart way.
553
00:32:01,788 --> 00:32:03,957
I don't think we refer to them as victims.
554
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,166
I think...
555
00:32:05,917 --> 00:32:08,670
that's a concess-- I don't think
it's something we want to concede.
556
00:32:08,753 --> 00:32:10,797
No, no, we do call them victims,
557
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,924
and then we prove why they're not.
558
00:32:13,007 --> 00:32:16,803
I'm not sure that we should use gotcha
journalism with the women who accused us.
559
00:32:16,886 --> 00:32:19,472
Oh, fuck that! Jesus. They did it with us.
560
00:32:19,555 --> 00:32:20,598
"Gotcha!
561
00:32:21,391 --> 00:32:23,726
I'll fuck you for the role,
and then I'll win an Oscar."
562
00:32:23,810 --> 00:32:26,437
And then, "Oh, now I'm 50 and irrelevant,
563
00:32:26,521 --> 00:32:29,566
so I'll scream 'rape'
and then I'll force a settlement."
564
00:32:29,649 --> 00:32:32,485
You know,
as if that lazy lay deserves a cent.
565
00:32:32,569 --> 00:32:34,237
No, no, you're wrong.
566
00:32:36,114 --> 00:32:37,323
Wow. Is that real?
567
00:32:37,407 --> 00:32:38,575
"Gotcha!
568
00:32:38,658 --> 00:32:40,868
I said I was 20. I was only 15."
569
00:32:41,452 --> 00:32:44,497
Bullshit. "Then why do you look
like a tired old bag?"
570
00:32:44,581 --> 00:32:48,251
And yeah, I'd love--
I'd kill to see her birth certificate.
571
00:32:52,547 --> 00:32:54,090
How come I never heard about that one?
572
00:32:54,173 --> 00:32:56,342
'Cause she's going the legal route.
573
00:32:56,426 --> 00:32:58,052
Big fucking chance.
574
00:32:58,636 --> 00:33:00,305
Statute of limitations, babe.
575
00:33:00,388 --> 00:33:04,225
You know, sometimes you gotta say,
"God bless America."
576
00:33:04,309 --> 00:33:05,643
Finally protected.
577
00:33:07,395 --> 00:33:08,688
Yeah, well,
578
00:33:10,273 --> 00:33:12,442
maybe we should just interview the men,
579
00:33:13,276 --> 00:33:18,031
because it might be naive to think
that the women would want to participate.
580
00:33:18,114 --> 00:33:19,699
Do you think we could get Cosby?
581
00:33:20,283 --> 00:33:23,161
No, let's-- No.
582
00:33:23,244 --> 00:33:28,291
No. I think another smart idea would be
583
00:33:28,374 --> 00:33:32,962
to talk about the specificity
of the Me Too movements.
584
00:33:33,046 --> 00:33:38,968
There was the first wave of guys
who were accused,
585
00:33:39,052 --> 00:33:41,095
and then there was a second wave,
586
00:33:41,179 --> 00:33:44,015
and we could talk about the nuance
between the two.
587
00:33:45,266 --> 00:33:46,351
I don't think I follow.
588
00:33:46,434 --> 00:33:51,689
Well, the first wave was... really bad.
589
00:33:52,148 --> 00:33:55,735
And then the guys accused
in the second wave was just different,
590
00:33:55,818 --> 00:33:59,739
and I don't think
we should be scared to talk about it.
591
00:34:04,827 --> 00:34:07,622
Spell it out for me, won't you, Mitch?
592
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,299
Well, you are actually a predator.
593
00:34:19,717 --> 00:34:21,761
And people are gonna want you to own that.
594
00:34:32,981 --> 00:34:34,774
As opposed to...
595
00:34:37,026 --> 00:34:38,945
What are you exactly, Mitch?
596
00:34:43,825 --> 00:34:45,034
Not you.
597
00:34:47,579 --> 00:34:49,956
The organization has now raised
over $80,000
598
00:34:50,039 --> 00:34:52,417
to help end sexual assault
on college campuses.
599
00:34:52,500 --> 00:34:53,876
Pace it down. You have time.
600
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:54,961
Okay.
601
00:34:55,044 --> 00:34:57,213
And educate students on consent.
602
00:34:57,297 --> 00:34:59,090
Really inspiring to see these young women
603
00:34:59,173 --> 00:35:01,801
working together to effect change,
isn't it, Alex?
604
00:35:01,884 --> 00:35:03,595
Fast learner, our Bradley.
605
00:35:04,053 --> 00:35:06,514
Well, it's Saturday night,
and she has the stage to herself.
606
00:35:06,598 --> 00:35:08,391
Let's not do the hora just yet.
607
00:35:08,474 --> 00:35:11,144
Coming up after the break,
we have one of my personal favorites,
608
00:35:11,227 --> 00:35:13,605
The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond.
609
00:35:13,688 --> 00:35:18,401
Alex, growing up on the farm, my mama made
the best grits in all of West Virginia.
610
00:35:18,484 --> 00:35:19,903
Let's see how Ree compares.
611
00:35:19,986 --> 00:35:21,571
Seriously, you guys? This is garbage.
612
00:35:21,653 --> 00:35:25,283
I don't call my mother "Mama,"
and she's also a terrible cook.
613
00:35:26,868 --> 00:35:27,952
I hear you, Bradley.
614
00:35:28,035 --> 00:35:29,120
Do you?
615
00:35:29,202 --> 00:35:31,372
Yeah. We're taking notes.
We're making changes.
616
00:35:31,456 --> 00:35:33,124
How about I do it for you?
617
00:35:33,207 --> 00:35:34,959
Please welcome The Pioneer Woman,
618
00:35:35,043 --> 00:35:37,378
who somehow manages to idealize an era
619
00:35:37,461 --> 00:35:39,964
when women birthed babies
in covered wagons
620
00:35:40,048 --> 00:35:43,508
and died from cholera before
they even had a chance to nurse 'em.
621
00:35:44,093 --> 00:35:45,136
Something like that?
622
00:35:48,389 --> 00:35:52,517
Yo, Jackson. God here.
Let's fix that wardrobe.
623
00:35:52,602 --> 00:35:55,396
Whoever's picking these outfits
should be fired.
624
00:35:56,064 --> 00:35:57,649
Alex picked 'em.
625
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:07,158
All right, next up,
626
00:36:07,242 --> 00:36:12,247
Lizzy has her mock trial semifinal
on May 3.
627
00:36:12,330 --> 00:36:14,540
Yeah, it's an all-day thing.
I'll cover it.
628
00:36:14,624 --> 00:36:16,125
No. I wanna go to that.
629
00:36:16,209 --> 00:36:17,710
Yeah, it's at Wolcott's.
630
00:36:17,794 --> 00:36:20,880
I refuse to have boarding school mean
that I don't get to see my fucking kid.
631
00:36:23,216 --> 00:36:25,176
I'm gonna get more wine.
Would you like some?
632
00:36:25,260 --> 00:36:27,053
Sure. Why don't you switch to white?
633
00:36:27,136 --> 00:36:28,513
Isn't that stuff giving you headaches?
634
00:36:28,596 --> 00:36:30,723
If I don't take an Advil, okay, Jason?
635
00:36:30,807 --> 00:36:32,392
-Jesus.
-Okay. Jesus Christ.
636
00:36:32,475 --> 00:36:33,601
God.
637
00:36:33,685 --> 00:36:34,852
-Al, Al, Al.
-What?
638
00:36:34,936 --> 00:36:37,105
Oh, God. What is going on?
639
00:36:37,188 --> 00:36:40,775
I just think it's weird that we have to
make a fake family calendar. That's all.
640
00:36:40,858 --> 00:36:42,068
We've always done it.
641
00:36:42,151 --> 00:36:45,947
No, but now it just is--
feels like a game.
642
00:36:47,365 --> 00:36:48,491
Lizzy's stuff is real,
643
00:36:48,575 --> 00:36:52,996
but coordinating my events and you having
to pretend. Come on. It feels weird.
644
00:36:53,413 --> 00:36:55,873
Yes, obviously. It's fucking bizarre.
645
00:36:56,499 --> 00:36:58,251
But, you know, we'll figure it out.
646
00:36:58,334 --> 00:37:01,045
Lizzy's at boarding school now.
She'll be at college in a minute.
647
00:37:01,129 --> 00:37:03,673
Yes, I know. I know.
And I'm thrilled for her.
648
00:37:03,756 --> 00:37:06,134
We raised a beautiful, independent kid,
649
00:37:06,217 --> 00:37:09,345
but would it kill her
to need us a little bit more?
650
00:37:09,429 --> 00:37:11,055
Oh, come on.
651
00:37:11,556 --> 00:37:14,058
Is that really what's bothering you?
652
00:37:17,770 --> 00:37:19,147
Come on.
653
00:37:22,859 --> 00:37:24,527
Page Six thinks I'm crazy.
654
00:37:25,528 --> 00:37:28,948
Page Six thought you were pregnant
ten times last year. Who cares?
655
00:37:29,282 --> 00:37:31,159
Well, I very well might be.
656
00:37:31,534 --> 00:37:33,369
-Excuse me?
-Crazy, not pregnant.
657
00:37:33,453 --> 00:37:37,332
Crazy. I'm--
This article came up the other day.
658
00:37:37,415 --> 00:37:42,921
I googled "Alex and Bradley" 'cause...
I'm fucking human and curious,
659
00:37:43,004 --> 00:37:44,464
and this article popped up
660
00:37:44,547 --> 00:37:49,010
that said I was "wandering the halls
of TMS in the middle of the night."
661
00:37:49,594 --> 00:37:50,595
Were you?
662
00:37:51,012 --> 00:37:52,013
Yes.
663
00:37:52,889 --> 00:37:57,894
But that means that my coworkers
are leaking stories about me.
664
00:37:58,519 --> 00:37:59,729
Mitch is going down,
665
00:37:59,812 --> 00:38:03,024
and somehow stories about me
being crazy are popping up.
666
00:38:03,107 --> 00:38:05,026
How the fuck does that track?
667
00:38:05,109 --> 00:38:07,528
-All right, it's a big change.
-Yes.
668
00:38:07,612 --> 00:38:09,197
You're allowed to feel it.
669
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,366
I know, but I'm the one
who made this big, stupid
670
00:38:11,449 --> 00:38:14,619
Bradley-Jackson,
whoever-the-fuck-that-is move.
671
00:38:15,245 --> 00:38:17,872
I mean, it is crazy.
It's absolutely crazy.
672
00:38:18,414 --> 00:38:21,459
But at first it felt like "I'm in control.
This is a power move."
673
00:38:21,542 --> 00:38:25,630
But I just-- This stupid shitshow,
I'm just-- I'm exhausted.
674
00:38:25,713 --> 00:38:28,716
I'm just so exhausted.
675
00:38:29,968 --> 00:38:32,595
Would it really be so bad
if it all went away?
676
00:38:32,679 --> 00:38:33,680
What?
677
00:38:33,763 --> 00:38:37,141
Oh, come on. A part of you
is trying to blow it all up. Admit it.
678
00:38:37,225 --> 00:38:39,060
Now, come on. I know you.
679
00:38:40,061 --> 00:38:41,271
I get it.
680
00:38:41,938 --> 00:38:45,108
But you've had this
unbelievable run, Alex.
681
00:38:46,276 --> 00:38:48,027
You've earned your freedom.
682
00:38:48,945 --> 00:38:51,197
You've earned your family their freedom.
683
00:38:52,949 --> 00:38:56,369
So, I don't know, maybe this is the moment
you get to choose to stop.
684
00:38:58,288 --> 00:38:59,497
We'll be fine.
685
00:39:01,791 --> 00:39:04,794
Wait. Are you saying that if I quit,
we would be--
686
00:39:04,877 --> 00:39:08,381
Fuck, no, no, I'm--
No, I was not making this about me. Sorry.
687
00:39:09,591 --> 00:39:10,592
Okay.
688
00:39:12,176 --> 00:39:13,428
Thank you for that.
689
00:39:14,679 --> 00:39:16,347
-Thank you.
-Sure.
690
00:39:35,533 --> 00:39:38,286
Am I supposed to be impressed
you can open Barneys?
691
00:39:38,369 --> 00:39:41,247
You're supposed to be impressed
that I've got $30,000
692
00:39:41,331 --> 00:39:43,207
for you to spend on whatever you want.
693
00:39:50,548 --> 00:39:52,258
Do you have a favorite silhouette?
694
00:39:52,717 --> 00:39:53,718
Pants.
695
00:39:55,637 --> 00:40:00,099
Pencil, cigarette, flared,
high-waisted, gaucho, drop-crotch--
696
00:40:00,183 --> 00:40:03,061
You know what? Just bring us a variety.
We trust you.
697
00:40:03,144 --> 00:40:04,896
And throw in some dresses too, please.
698
00:40:05,313 --> 00:40:09,651
I get you're not a typical woman, but
try to see the joy in a wardrobe upgrade.
699
00:40:09,734 --> 00:40:11,277
What is a typical woman?
700
00:40:12,862 --> 00:40:15,448
You know, not everything is a challenge.
701
00:40:15,865 --> 00:40:19,702
People usually say that
when they don't wanna be challenged.
702
00:40:19,786 --> 00:40:21,412
Wow. You're fun.
703
00:40:21,496 --> 00:40:22,497
I'm tired.
704
00:40:22,580 --> 00:40:26,125
And I don't feel like pretending
Pretty Woman is my favorite movie.
705
00:40:27,669 --> 00:40:29,170
What is your favorite movie?
706
00:40:29,587 --> 00:40:31,381
What do you want my favorite movie to be?
707
00:40:31,965 --> 00:40:34,300
I'm beginning to sense
that you're very frustrated.
708
00:40:34,384 --> 00:40:36,010
Look, I don't wanna sound ungrateful.
709
00:40:36,094 --> 00:40:38,680
New clothes are fun. They're--
710
00:40:38,763 --> 00:40:40,139
You know what's even more fun?
711
00:40:40,223 --> 00:40:43,142
Having your image
workshopped by a focus group.
712
00:40:43,226 --> 00:40:46,312
I can't wait to hear
how I'm gonna alienate Americans.
713
00:40:46,396 --> 00:40:50,358
I've been contending with the misogynistic
world of journalism for 15 years.
714
00:40:50,441 --> 00:40:52,694
I've only been told
about a thousand different ways
715
00:40:52,777 --> 00:40:55,780
I'm too liberal,
too conservative, too in-between.
716
00:40:55,863 --> 00:40:58,449
"You've too much chin.
You're not smiling enough.
717
00:40:58,533 --> 00:41:00,743
You're too brunette.
Do you wanna go blonde?
718
00:41:00,827 --> 00:41:01,828
Where are your boobs?
719
00:41:01,911 --> 00:41:04,163
Quick, put your boobs out.
Wait, put your boobs away.
720
00:41:04,247 --> 00:41:06,332
You're attracting men.
You're scaring women.
721
00:41:06,708 --> 00:41:09,502
Try not to be so confrontational.
Men don't wanna fuck you.
722
00:41:09,586 --> 00:41:11,546
Don't be so angry. Women feel criticized."
723
00:41:11,629 --> 00:41:12,797
But here, no, no,
724
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:17,218
here I'm gonna transform into
the aspirational, inoffensive dream girl.
725
00:41:17,302 --> 00:41:20,179
Here I'm gonna become
the Mother Teresa of the morning news.
726
00:41:20,263 --> 00:41:23,850
Though I'm pretty sure that Mother Teresa
had too many fucking wrinkles for HD.
727
00:41:23,933 --> 00:41:26,060
All right, are we doing this? Let's go.
728
00:41:29,355 --> 00:41:33,276
I'm trying on a lot of clothes
for someone without a signed contract.
729
00:41:33,359 --> 00:41:35,945
It'll be ready tomorrow.
You need a better agent.
730
00:41:36,029 --> 00:41:37,780
My agent is fine.
731
00:41:37,864 --> 00:41:41,784
He's an idiot if he closes at $700,000.
732
00:41:43,411 --> 00:41:45,663
I thought you were trying
to get me on the cheap.
733
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,833
I don't mind paying someone
what I think they're worth.
734
00:41:53,004 --> 00:41:54,047
You're single, right?
735
00:41:55,673 --> 00:41:56,758
Single.
736
00:41:56,841 --> 00:41:58,760
What's that got to do with my contract?
737
00:41:59,510 --> 00:42:02,722
So, you are? That's great.
738
00:42:03,139 --> 00:42:04,223
Good. Keep it that way.
739
00:42:04,307 --> 00:42:07,435
American women, they're getting married
later, often not at all.
740
00:42:07,518 --> 00:42:10,146
Eggs frozen to be used another day,
if at all.
741
00:42:10,230 --> 00:42:12,315
Men to be fucked
but not needed for fulfillment.
742
00:42:12,398 --> 00:42:16,903
That's exciting, that's reality,
and that is not on morning television.
743
00:42:18,112 --> 00:42:19,822
Okay. What do you think of this?
744
00:42:20,531 --> 00:42:21,532
Oh, yeah. Right.
745
00:42:23,868 --> 00:42:26,079
Very Pantsuit Nation.
746
00:42:26,663 --> 00:42:27,705
Fuck off.
747
00:42:28,831 --> 00:42:30,291
No, I love it.
748
00:42:30,875 --> 00:42:34,629
I'm serious. It just, it...
It reminds me of my mom.
749
00:42:35,421 --> 00:42:36,422
Seriously?
750
00:42:36,506 --> 00:42:37,966
My mom is awesome,
751
00:42:38,049 --> 00:42:40,927
and she is gonna love you.
752
00:42:41,010 --> 00:42:44,180
Martha has never seen herself reflected
on The Morning Show.
753
00:42:46,349 --> 00:42:48,768
Is this the mom you took care of
after Daddy left?
754
00:42:48,851 --> 00:42:53,898
Oh, I see. You think of her as, like,
a sad, weak, abandoned woman?
755
00:42:53,982 --> 00:42:55,275
Hey, I didn't say that.
756
00:42:56,067 --> 00:43:00,280
I took care of my mom, in the cooking
her dinner and giving her hugs sense.
757
00:43:00,363 --> 00:43:02,240
Telling her to put her work away
and go to bed.
758
00:43:02,323 --> 00:43:05,910
And I was, you know,
a terrific 12-year-old mom to my mom.
759
00:43:07,245 --> 00:43:08,580
What does she do?
760
00:43:08,663 --> 00:43:10,248
Retired now.
761
00:43:10,331 --> 00:43:13,918
She was a campaign organizer
for progressive women who usually lost.
762
00:43:14,586 --> 00:43:16,254
Martha loved a easy sell.
763
00:43:16,921 --> 00:43:18,381
Like mother, like son.
764
00:43:19,173 --> 00:43:20,174
How so?
765
00:43:20,258 --> 00:43:23,303
Peddling out to America a 40-year-old,
single, childless woman
766
00:43:23,386 --> 00:43:24,554
who's a political independent?
767
00:43:24,637 --> 00:43:26,347
I don't think you're a tough sell.
768
00:43:27,473 --> 00:43:31,102
We already have the housewives
watching TMS.
769
00:43:31,185 --> 00:43:35,231
If we want to win the ratings war,
we need the women who aren't watching,
770
00:43:35,315 --> 00:43:39,027
the ones that don't see themselves
reflected in Ice Queen Alex.
771
00:43:39,110 --> 00:43:41,696
So... be messy.
772
00:43:42,488 --> 00:43:46,075
Let's do segments
on the ways that you haven't "lived up."
773
00:43:46,492 --> 00:43:50,413
Be the narrative real women are living.
774
00:45:00,733 --> 00:45:03,736
There is no way that Ashley
is only one fucking segment.
775
00:45:03,820 --> 00:45:05,989
That's plenty of time
for a good interview.
776
00:45:06,364 --> 00:45:10,410
It is completely disrespectful
to the seriousness of the subject.
777
00:45:10,493 --> 00:45:13,788
I get it. But Ashley is not good.
778
00:45:13,871 --> 00:45:15,915
Oh, my Go-- Okay, hold on a second.
779
00:45:15,999 --> 00:45:18,501
Did you seriously just call her
"not a good victim"?
780
00:45:18,585 --> 00:45:20,044
Look, I read the transcript.
781
00:45:20,128 --> 00:45:22,463
She's superficial, she's inconsistent
in her recounting of the story--
782
00:45:22,547 --> 00:45:25,675
She's completely preoccupied by Mitch,
how he might feel about it.
783
00:45:25,758 --> 00:45:27,260
Okay, so did you bring her in for backup?
784
00:45:27,343 --> 00:45:29,387
-Is that what Mia's doing here?
-I am nobody's backup.
785
00:45:29,470 --> 00:45:30,847
I read the transcript
from your pre-interview.
786
00:45:30,930 --> 00:45:33,141
-I came to my own conclusions.
-Why are you reading my transcripts?
787
00:45:33,224 --> 00:45:34,684
Hey, hey, hey.
788
00:45:34,767 --> 00:45:37,395
Mia's in charge of our Me Too coverage.
She gets what works.
789
00:45:37,478 --> 00:45:39,272
This is not about Me Too, Chip.
790
00:45:39,355 --> 00:45:41,566
This is about us. This is about our show,
791
00:45:41,649 --> 00:45:43,401
how we will be judged by the public.
792
00:45:43,484 --> 00:45:46,905
And if you cut that down, it's gonna look
like a dodge. It just fucking is.
793
00:45:46,988 --> 00:45:49,282
So get this
into your little fucking brains, okay?
794
00:45:49,365 --> 00:45:51,951
I'm doing the interview my way,
and if you have a problem with it,
795
00:45:52,035 --> 00:45:54,495
and if you have a problem with it,
then fucking quit.
796
00:46:00,460 --> 00:46:02,921
Just let her deal with it.
Fuck it. Fuck it.
797
00:46:12,722 --> 00:46:14,515
I'll be on stage in a minute!
798
00:46:21,272 --> 00:46:23,441
You shouldn't do the interview
with Ashley.
799
00:46:26,402 --> 00:46:27,403
Why wouldn't I?
800
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:30,240
I don't know.
801
00:46:31,157 --> 00:46:35,036
Seems like you wanna create this narrative
about how you're taking control,
802
00:46:35,119 --> 00:46:37,538
how you've been powerless, but...
803
00:46:38,998 --> 00:46:40,583
that's pretty convenient.
804
00:46:42,126 --> 00:46:43,586
What's convenient about it?
805
00:46:44,087 --> 00:46:45,713
You've always had power,
806
00:46:45,797 --> 00:46:49,008
and you know exactly what it looks like
when a woman doesn't.
807
00:46:51,386 --> 00:46:54,847
Mia, I don't think
we've ever known each other that well.
808
00:46:57,684 --> 00:46:58,685
Maybe not,
809
00:46:59,185 --> 00:47:02,146
but it hasn't stopped you
from making assumptions about me.
810
00:47:02,230 --> 00:47:04,482
Yeah. I've made assumptions
about you and Mitch.
811
00:47:06,317 --> 00:47:08,319
I did not approve of that relationship.
812
00:47:09,028 --> 00:47:10,196
Not one bit.
813
00:47:11,281 --> 00:47:13,074
Completely inappropriate.
814
00:47:13,992 --> 00:47:16,202
And I think the world is making that
pretty clear right now.
815
00:47:16,286 --> 00:47:18,329
But what I don't understand
is why is this my fault?
816
00:47:18,413 --> 00:47:19,414
It's not.
817
00:47:19,497 --> 00:47:22,500
But you're not impartial on this subject.
You knew what Mitch was doing.
818
00:47:22,584 --> 00:47:24,043
And you're impartial?
819
00:47:25,169 --> 00:47:27,463
You're producing the person
who'll be doing the interview.
820
00:47:27,547 --> 00:47:29,757
-That's pretty fuckin' transparent.
-This isn't about that.
821
00:47:29,841 --> 00:47:32,510
Well, then what is it about, Mia?
'Cause I'm getting really confused.
822
00:47:32,594 --> 00:47:35,847
I don't ever remember you
confiding in me about Mitch,
823
00:47:35,930 --> 00:47:37,098
asking me for help.
824
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,977
I remember you being pretty capable
of taking good care of yourself.
825
00:47:46,024 --> 00:47:47,817
Do whatever you wanna do with Ashley,
826
00:47:47,901 --> 00:47:49,944
but I'm telling you,
she's enamored of you.
827
00:47:50,445 --> 00:47:52,655
You'll never get to something honest.
828
00:47:54,824 --> 00:47:56,868
And then
you're gonna get crucified for it.
829
00:48:11,174 --> 00:48:12,550
God.
830
00:48:16,554 --> 00:48:18,514
So, one big happy family.
831
00:48:18,598 --> 00:48:20,391
Yeah. With an absent mother.
832
00:48:20,475 --> 00:48:22,769
I, honestly, was shocked
that she agreed to a run-through.
833
00:48:22,852 --> 00:48:24,395
Not exactly a team player?
834
00:48:24,812 --> 00:48:27,815
Alex requires
a fair amount of personal space.
835
00:48:27,899 --> 00:48:29,192
It's just who she is.
836
00:48:29,692 --> 00:48:31,569
Okay, so, Alex is in a meeting.
837
00:48:31,653 --> 00:48:33,905
We're gonna mark some transitions
without her.
838
00:48:34,364 --> 00:48:36,991
Daniel,
do you mind playing Alex for a bit?
839
00:48:40,203 --> 00:48:41,746
-Don't mind at all.
-Okay.
840
00:48:46,793 --> 00:48:47,794
This way.
841
00:48:48,836 --> 00:48:49,837
Okay.
842
00:48:49,921 --> 00:48:51,047
Speaking of family,
843
00:48:51,130 --> 00:48:54,133
we know how hard it is to make
your kid's lunch quick and healthy,
844
00:48:54,217 --> 00:48:56,844
but luckily, multitasking mom Margaret M--
845
00:48:57,262 --> 00:49:00,056
multitasking mom Margaret Mapel...
846
00:49:00,139 --> 00:49:03,601
Okay. Can we run that back?
That's a lot of alliteration.
847
00:49:04,644 --> 00:49:06,729
-I'm not looking for sympathy.
-I'm not offering any.
848
00:49:07,730 --> 00:49:10,108
All right. Going again,
let's take it from the top.
849
00:49:10,191 --> 00:49:12,235
Here we go.
Starting with Bradley's line.
850
00:49:12,318 --> 00:49:13,695
Everyone quiet, please.
851
00:49:13,778 --> 00:49:15,446
You're doing great.
Just take a deep breath.
852
00:49:15,530 --> 00:49:16,739
Mia, thanks for showing up.
853
00:49:17,615 --> 00:49:19,742
Sorry. Dealing with some changes.
854
00:49:20,535 --> 00:49:22,870
You are doing the interview with Ashley.
855
00:49:23,329 --> 00:49:25,915
We've pushed it to the end of the week
so we can prepare.
856
00:49:25,999 --> 00:49:27,625
Wait, what?
857
00:49:28,918 --> 00:49:31,170
Yeah. Alex just told me on her way out.
858
00:49:32,046 --> 00:49:33,548
On her way out?
859
00:49:33,631 --> 00:49:34,632
What, she's leaving?
860
00:49:35,466 --> 00:49:36,467
Yeah.
861
00:49:36,551 --> 00:49:39,220
Wait, when is she gonna rehearse
with me? On air?
862
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,266
Bradley, this run-through is going well.
Just push through.
863
00:49:43,349 --> 00:49:45,894
Oh, hell no! No, no, no.
864
00:49:45,977 --> 00:49:48,271
I'm not going on tomorrow
if we don't rehearse.
865
00:49:48,354 --> 00:49:50,773
Bra-- Hey!
Don't let her walk out of this--
866
00:49:52,025 --> 00:49:53,192
Great.
867
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:55,361
Great.
868
00:49:56,696 --> 00:49:58,907
Hey! Alex!
869
00:50:00,825 --> 00:50:02,410
Hey! Alex. Alex.
870
00:50:05,914 --> 00:50:07,874
Why are you not going through
the run-through?
871
00:50:07,957 --> 00:50:09,959
We moved the Ashley interview
to the end of the week,
872
00:50:10,043 --> 00:50:11,544
so I gotta go home and prep a new story.
873
00:50:11,628 --> 00:50:13,338
Why are you giving me the interview?
874
00:50:14,172 --> 00:50:15,632
Because it's better for the show.
875
00:50:16,007 --> 00:50:17,383
Why are you doing this to me?
876
00:50:17,926 --> 00:50:20,428
Doing what?
Handing you an amazing opportunity?
877
00:50:20,511 --> 00:50:21,846
No. You're making no sense.
878
00:50:21,930 --> 00:50:23,765
You're not being present.
879
00:50:23,848 --> 00:50:25,058
What the fuck?
880
00:50:25,141 --> 00:50:26,768
I don't have all the answers.
881
00:50:26,851 --> 00:50:28,478
And why does this have to be about you?
882
00:50:28,561 --> 00:50:30,980
'Cause I'm a woman who has a life.
You realize that?
883
00:50:31,064 --> 00:50:33,358
I have people I'm responsible for,
884
00:50:33,441 --> 00:50:36,486
and I have career aspirations
that don't involve being your sidekick.
885
00:50:36,569 --> 00:50:39,864
You are not my sidekick. You're my cohost.
886
00:50:40,990 --> 00:50:43,910
Well, you have barely acknowledged me
all weekend.
887
00:50:46,037 --> 00:50:49,707
I didn't know that you needed me
to hold your hand.
888
00:50:50,208 --> 00:50:51,542
I need a partner.
889
00:50:52,335 --> 00:50:54,212
Sometimes partners hold hands.
890
00:50:59,133 --> 00:51:00,385
Oh, Jesus.
891
00:51:01,636 --> 00:51:02,762
Okay.
892
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:04,681
Bradley...
893
00:51:06,182 --> 00:51:09,060
I don't have a fucking clue
what I'm doing.
894
00:51:11,479 --> 00:51:13,523
-You don't?
-Nope. Not a clue.
895
00:51:14,566 --> 00:51:15,942
Running on instinct.
896
00:51:16,609 --> 00:51:17,944
But I know that I need a second
897
00:51:18,027 --> 00:51:21,072
so I can get my shit together
to go on air tomorrow.
898
00:51:22,448 --> 00:51:25,743
And I know I have to not be in that
building with those fucking people
899
00:51:25,827 --> 00:51:28,121
who are constantly judging my choices.
900
00:51:32,375 --> 00:51:35,295
I honestly don't know why I picked you.
901
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,505
Okay? That's the truth.
902
00:51:39,132 --> 00:51:40,967
Just an impulse, and I went with it.
903
00:51:43,136 --> 00:51:45,930
But I do know that I think I like you.
904
00:51:50,727 --> 00:51:52,228
Just go sign your contract.
905
00:51:55,231 --> 00:51:56,232
All right.
906
00:51:57,066 --> 00:51:58,276
Okay.
907
00:52:00,278 --> 00:52:01,571
Watch your step.
