<i>- Unbelievable.</i>
<i>- Unbelievable.</i>

3
00:01:29,325 --> 00:01:31,860
That is a subpoena for a reporter
to appear before a grand jury.

4
00:01:31,862 --> 00:01:34,128
If they had grand juries in East Germany
and East Germany still existed,

5
00:01:34,163 --> 00:01:35,530
then that's where
we'd be right now.

6
00:01:35,581 --> 00:01:37,081
Put it away, Rebecca.

7
00:01:37,116 --> 00:01:39,200
And nobody says a word about
this to anyone tonight.

8
00:01:39,202 --> 00:01:42,086
<i>- What happens now?</i>
- Monday morning, he'll appear before a grand jury.

9
00:01:42,121 --> 00:01:44,672
He'll be asked to name
his source and he'll say...

10
00:01:44,707 --> 00:01:46,708
- No problem.
- He'll refuse.

11
00:01:46,759 --> 00:01:48,543
Tuesday morning,
the prosecutor...

12
00:01:48,545 --> 00:01:50,211
Who wants Will's head
hung in his den.

13
00:01:50,213 --> 00:01:53,464
...will go to a judge to get an order
for Will to answer the question.

14
00:01:53,515 --> 00:01:55,266
Wednesday morning,
armed with the order,

15
00:01:55,301 --> 00:01:58,186
the prosecutor will ask him
again and he'll refuse again.

16
00:01:58,220 --> 00:02:00,972
Thursday morning,
we appear before the same judge,

17
00:02:01,056 --> 00:02:02,807
who the prosecutor will
inform that Will has refused

18
00:02:02,858 --> 00:02:04,442
to comply with
a court order and then...

19
00:02:04,476 --> 00:02:07,362
- Everybody goes home.
- Because you're too big to jail?

20
00:02:07,396 --> 00:02:09,731
- That's right.
- Will, you've been wrong about everything.

21
00:02:09,782 --> 00:02:12,200
- Every step of the way.
- Do you really think this administration is going

22
00:02:12,234 --> 00:02:14,068
- to lock up a reporter...
- I didn't think they'd raid a newsroom and that happened.

23
00:02:14,119 --> 00:02:16,120
...who exposed a disinformation
campaign that resulted...

24
00:02:16,155 --> 00:02:18,623
I didn't think Neal would have to flee extradition,
and Neal's in Venezuela.

25
00:02:18,657 --> 00:02:20,742
And I didn't think they'd have
the sack to subpoena you,

26
00:02:20,744 --> 00:02:23,912
but you've just been served
by a kid in a rented tuxedo.

27
00:02:23,914 --> 00:02:25,630
And the reason the kid
was wearing a tuxedo

28
00:02:25,664 --> 00:02:27,548
was because they don't
want to make any noise.

29
00:02:29,051 --> 00:02:31,552
Or maybe they sent out
a press release.

30
00:02:31,587 --> 00:02:33,671
No shit.

31
00:02:33,722 --> 00:02:35,924
- You know what this is gonna be?
- Yeah.

32
00:02:35,975 --> 00:02:37,592
"Will McAvoy,
hypocrite in a monkey suit."

33
00:02:37,594 --> 00:02:39,811
It's been posted on Carnivore,
but it's been picked up by everybody.

34
00:02:39,845 --> 00:02:41,512
Carnivore?
It was posted on Carnivore?

35
00:02:41,563 --> 00:02:42,814
Also,
what the hell is Carnivore?

36
00:02:42,848 --> 00:02:45,650
It's a new website that
just got its first scoop.

37
00:02:45,684 --> 00:02:49,404
"ACN won't be attending the Saturnalia
of incestuous ingratiation..."

38
00:02:49,438 --> 00:02:51,522
- I remember that.
- "That does little to instill confidence

39
00:02:51,573 --> 00:02:54,943
in the public that the press isn't
ensorcelled by the powerful."

40
00:02:54,994 --> 00:02:57,662
- I have to go find someone. Don.
- Hmm?

41
00:02:57,696 --> 00:02:59,197
Lead the team
on the Kundu story

42
00:02:59,248 --> 00:03:01,282
which has to be on the air
by Wednesday night.

43
00:03:01,333 --> 00:03:03,334
That's in four... Why does it have to
be on the air by Wednesday night?

44
00:03:03,369 --> 00:03:05,119
Because it does.

45
00:03:05,121 --> 00:03:07,839
- You and I need to talk.
- Yeah. Not here.

46
00:03:11,294 --> 00:03:13,378
Will,
I'm Mimi Tassler with BuzzFeed.

47
00:03:13,429 --> 00:03:15,263
- Nice to meet you.
- Any comment on the story in Carnivore?

48
00:03:15,297 --> 00:03:16,764
I was wrong about
the Correspondents' Dinner.

49
00:03:16,799 --> 00:03:19,133
I forgot what a great
time I always have.

50
00:03:19,184 --> 00:03:20,969
Will,
I'm Zachary Webber with Politico.

51
00:03:21,020 --> 00:03:22,637
Do you want to comment
on the story?

52
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,389
Sure.
I probably need to read it first.

53
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,307
- I'm going back to the hotel.
- You can't.

54
00:03:26,358 --> 00:03:28,142
- No, I can't stay here.
- Think for a second.

55
00:03:28,193 --> 00:03:29,894
- What's the reason we came here in...
- Pruit.

56
00:03:29,945 --> 00:03:31,479
We have to sit with Pruit.

57
00:03:31,481 --> 00:03:33,948
I've had a minute with him
and so far it's going badly.

58
00:03:33,983 --> 00:03:35,616
You don't think he's going
to buy the network?

59
00:03:35,651 --> 00:03:38,069
No, I think he is.

60
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,822
- I've never heard of Carnivore.
- It's new.

61
00:03:40,824 --> 00:03:42,323
Why do they have
names like that?

62
00:03:42,325 --> 00:03:44,826
Carnivore, Vulture,
Beast, Gawker.

63
00:03:44,877 --> 00:03:46,661
I don't know.

64
00:03:46,712 --> 00:03:49,247
And why do gossip columnists always
sound like gossip columnists?

65
00:03:49,298 --> 00:03:52,667
Finke, Weasel, Snitch, Frump.

66
00:03:52,718 --> 00:03:54,335
I'm not familiar

67
00:03:54,386 --> 00:03:56,671
with Snitch, Weasel, and Frump.
What do you read?

68
00:03:56,722 --> 00:03:58,423
Well,
I read Jonathan Weasel on a regular basis

69
00:03:58,474 --> 00:04:00,258
before clicking over
to AngrySpiders.com.

70
00:04:00,309 --> 00:04:03,011
- Anyway, my answer to your question...
- Hey!

71
00:04:03,013 --> 00:04:04,862
You'll tell me later.

72
00:04:04,897 --> 00:04:07,348
- We were thinking about calling it a night.
- It's early.

73
00:04:07,399 --> 00:04:09,984
Don and I were just given
a new deadline on a story.

74
00:04:10,019 --> 00:04:11,986
- What's the deadline?
- Wednesday night.

75
00:04:12,021 --> 00:04:14,272
- Gonna rent a car and drive back to New York tonight.
<i>- I'll go with you.</i>

76
00:04:14,323 --> 00:04:16,741
Maggie and I were just
discussing an ethical dilemma.

77
00:04:16,775 --> 00:04:19,027
She has a friend
who's dating a woman

78
00:04:19,029 --> 00:04:21,529
who just started writing for
a website called Carnivore.

79
00:04:21,580 --> 00:04:23,698
- We should go.
- I just want to hear what they think.

80
00:04:23,749 --> 00:04:26,701
Maggie's friend thinks that
websites like this are toxic

81
00:04:26,703 --> 00:04:28,703
<i>and are poisoning our national
conversation and culture,</i>

82
00:04:28,754 --> 00:04:30,288
<i>but he likes the girl.</i>

83
00:04:30,339 --> 00:04:33,708
So my question is,
would he date a drug dealer?

84
00:04:37,129 --> 00:04:39,881
How would you like
to handle this?

85
00:04:39,883 --> 00:04:41,466
- Wait.
- Yeah.

86
00:04:41,517 --> 00:04:43,384
- <i>She works for Carnivore.</i>
<i>- Of course she works for Carnivore.</i>

87
00:04:43,386 --> 00:04:45,887
I just said you'll tell me
later as I waved them over.

88
00:04:45,938 --> 00:04:47,939
How could you not
pick up on that cue?

89
00:04:47,973 --> 00:04:50,391
- I've never been good at that.
- You're terrible at that.

90
00:04:50,393 --> 00:04:54,445
Yeah, so we're gonna go get that
car and pick you up at the hotel.

91
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,647
Cool. I...

92
00:04:58,367 --> 00:05:00,535
- Listen.
- Not yet.

93
00:05:04,873 --> 00:05:07,458
- Drug dealer?
- He said that. I didn't say that.

94
00:05:07,493 --> 00:05:08,910
You're talking
about this with Maggie?

95
00:05:08,961 --> 00:05:10,828
- It came up at work.
- What came up?

96
00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:12,997
It just...

97
00:05:13,048 --> 00:05:14,415
Your new job.

98
00:05:14,417 --> 00:05:16,334
Your disapproval of me
came up at work?

99
00:05:16,385 --> 00:05:18,169
The page view incentives
in your contract.

100
00:05:18,220 --> 00:05:20,088
They're bonuses,
you judgmental prick.

101
00:05:20,090 --> 00:05:21,589
And why don't you
believe in me?

102
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,508
Why do you assume that as soon
as I take a job like this,

103
00:05:23,559 --> 00:05:25,760
- I'm gonna be an asshole?
- I don't think that you're...

104
00:05:25,762 --> 00:05:28,346
Yes, you do.
Why?

105
00:05:30,349 --> 00:05:32,150
How did Carnivore
get that story about Will?

106
00:05:32,184 --> 00:05:34,318
- Did you see my byline on it?
- No.

107
00:05:34,353 --> 00:05:37,605
No. 2,000 reporters and he thought
he was going to get away with it?

108
00:05:37,607 --> 00:05:39,240
He didn't knock over a bank.

109
00:05:39,274 --> 00:05:42,160
He sang an aria about how messed
up the Correspondents' Dinner was,

110
00:05:42,194 --> 00:05:44,112
said ACN wasn't going
and then showed up.

111
00:05:44,114 --> 00:05:47,248
You weren't aware of the aria
until I told you about it.

112
00:05:47,282 --> 00:05:50,284
That story was waiting and ready to
go and I'm the one who leaked it.

113
00:05:50,286 --> 00:05:51,619
It wasn't going to be a secret.

114
00:05:51,621 --> 00:05:53,788
You had nothing to do with it?

115
00:05:56,875 --> 00:05:58,676
I told them what to look for.

116
00:06:00,212 --> 00:06:02,964
- Yeah.
- If I hadn't, I would be betraying my job,

117
00:06:02,966 --> 00:06:04,465
and you know that.

118
00:06:04,516 --> 00:06:07,552
You know that.
It's horrible that I got it from you, but...

119
00:06:07,603 --> 00:06:10,805
Listen, the new HR guy at AWM,
Wyatt Earp...

120
00:06:10,856 --> 00:06:12,890
- Not his name.
- Wyatt Geary.

121
00:06:12,941 --> 00:06:15,776
He's onto us, me and Sloan,
and he wants me bad.

122
00:06:15,811 --> 00:06:18,529
He's gonna come asking questions,
and when he does, you say...

123
00:06:18,564 --> 00:06:20,398
Don and Sloan
are just colleagues.

124
00:06:20,449 --> 00:06:22,400
Should you guys be standing
next to each other?

125
00:06:22,451 --> 00:06:23,901
Yeah,
what are you doing standing next to me?

126
00:06:23,952 --> 00:06:25,736
I really don't know.

127
00:06:25,787 --> 00:06:28,156
Scatter.

128
00:06:33,245 --> 00:06:35,746
I'm sorry.

129
00:06:35,797 --> 00:06:38,299
I'm sorry, too.

130
00:06:38,333 --> 00:06:41,052
- I get it.
- Do you?

131
00:06:45,390 --> 00:06:47,758
- Where have you been?
- Looking for someone.

132
00:06:47,809 --> 00:06:49,477
We're supposed
to be talking to Pruit.

133
00:06:49,511 --> 00:06:52,180
Listen, a little while ago...

134
00:06:53,098 --> 00:06:54,649
- Nothing.
- You sure?

135
00:06:54,683 --> 00:06:56,651
Yeah.
Let's talk to Pruit.

136
00:07:07,496 --> 00:07:09,363
Lucas.

137
00:07:09,365 --> 00:07:12,366
Books are like the new art,
don't you think?

138
00:07:12,417 --> 00:07:15,369
Yes. No.
I have no idea what you mean.

139
00:07:15,420 --> 00:07:17,205
We don't need them anymore,
but they look nice.

140
00:07:17,207 --> 00:07:19,457
- We don't need books?
- Not on paper.

141
00:07:19,508 --> 00:07:22,760
I'll send you a Kindle, Grandpa Joe.
You'll like it.

142
00:07:22,794 --> 00:07:25,179
- I'm Will McAvoy.
- MacKenzie McHale.

143
00:07:25,214 --> 00:07:27,131
If you say you're not
gonna come to a party

144
00:07:27,182 --> 00:07:29,433
and you say it loud
to a million people,

145
00:07:29,468 --> 00:07:32,386
you can't show up to the party.

146
00:07:32,471 --> 00:07:35,439
He came to talk to you because you said
you wanted to meet him at the party.

147
00:07:35,474 --> 00:07:38,276
Why did you want
to meet him at the party?

148
00:07:38,310 --> 00:07:40,561
- Are you fucking kidding me?
- Take it easy.

149
00:07:40,563 --> 00:07:43,281
<i>I won't take it easy.
The position you put him in,</i>

150
00:07:43,315 --> 00:07:44,732
all of us, for a laugh?

151
00:07:44,783 --> 00:07:47,535
It was not for a laugh.
Don't be a child.

152
00:07:47,569 --> 00:07:49,537
It was an exercise of power.

153
00:07:49,571 --> 00:07:51,572
You shoved the Lansings
around for years

154
00:07:51,623 --> 00:07:54,575
and I wanted to let you know right off the
bat that I'm not impressed by ratings.

155
00:07:54,577 --> 00:07:58,462
Second, I want you to know that
I'm not in this for the trophy.

156
00:07:58,497 --> 00:08:00,831
I'm in it for the ratings.
I'm just kidding.

157
00:08:00,882 --> 00:08:03,251
But really,
second place does nothing for me.

158
00:08:03,302 --> 00:08:05,469
Good, 'cause as of last week,
we're in fourth.

159
00:08:05,504 --> 00:08:07,588
I don't know how you
managed to swing that.

160
00:08:07,590 --> 00:08:09,590
I was very proud
of our Boston coverage.

161
00:08:09,592 --> 00:08:12,426
Proud is generally what people
pretend they are when they've lost.

162
00:08:12,428 --> 00:08:13,928
Cryptic is generally
what people are

163
00:08:13,930 --> 00:08:16,847
when they're trying to pretend
they possess supernatural powers.

164
00:08:16,898 --> 00:08:19,150
Okay,
we've gotten off to a rough start.

165
00:08:19,184 --> 00:08:21,936
Lucas, we're naturally curious
about your plans for the network.

166
00:08:21,987 --> 00:08:24,272
What if I told you you could
be the number one news network

167
00:08:24,323 --> 00:08:25,856
and change the world
at the same time?

168
00:08:25,907 --> 00:08:27,775
Change it into what?

169
00:08:27,777 --> 00:08:30,444
A place where people say snappy,
sardonic things like that.

170
00:08:30,446 --> 00:08:33,447
Hey, we really have to do better at
talking to each other right now.

171
00:08:33,498 --> 00:08:35,283
- Who are you looking for?
- Me?

172
00:08:35,334 --> 00:08:37,084
<i>You've glanced around
a couple of times.</i>

173
00:08:37,119 --> 00:08:39,420
- Nothing, I'm here.
- Is that accent real?

174
00:08:39,454 --> 00:08:40,755
Can we please cut the shit?

175
00:08:40,789 --> 00:08:42,540
<i>I'm gonna infuse ACN
with tens of millions</i>

176
00:08:42,591 --> 00:08:44,592
of new dollars in your budget.
How does that sound?

177
00:08:44,626 --> 00:08:46,794
I'm gonna get 18 to
25-year-olds to watch the news

178
00:08:46,845 --> 00:08:49,547
so it can support itself and
so it doesn't die when you do.

179
00:08:49,598 --> 00:08:51,299
The news gathering
and newscasts

180
00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:53,134
will have tentacles in every
reach of the Internet.

181
00:08:53,185 --> 00:08:56,270
Interactives, podcasts, live streams,
Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter.

182
00:08:56,305 --> 00:08:57,688
We'll make our audience
reporters in the field

183
00:08:57,723 --> 00:09:00,308
through Instagram and Vine, Snapchat and blogs.
You still with me?

184
00:09:00,359 --> 00:09:01,942
Our users become the audience

185
00:09:01,977 --> 00:09:03,944
and our audience
becomes contributors.

186
00:09:03,979 --> 00:09:05,279
That's my plan.

187
00:09:05,314 --> 00:09:08,316
Needless to say,
I'm impressed by your indifference

188
00:09:08,318 --> 00:09:10,735
to talent, experience,
and credentials.

189
00:09:10,786 --> 00:09:13,821
And I assume the absence of the words truth,
trust,

190
00:09:13,872 --> 00:09:17,992
and professionalism in your mission
statement was an oversight.

191
00:09:18,043 --> 00:09:21,495
<i>Your contempt for the second-rate
seems to be a contradiction, too,</i>

192
00:09:21,497 --> 00:09:23,831
since you believe
the best reporting

193
00:09:23,833 --> 00:09:25,833
is done by anyone with a phone

194
00:09:25,835 --> 00:09:28,085
and the time it takes to write
"epic fail."

195
00:09:28,136 --> 00:09:30,871
<i>And as an old guy,
I've got a lot more respect</i>

196
00:09:30,906 --> 00:09:33,174
for 18 to 25-year-olds
than you do

197
00:09:33,225 --> 00:09:36,227
'cause I don't believe
their heads will explode

198
00:09:36,261 --> 00:09:39,063
if you stop patronizing them
for an hour a night

199
00:09:39,097 --> 00:09:41,482
and tell them what the fuck's
going on in their lives

200
00:09:41,516 --> 00:09:44,185
and maybe even in the lives
of other people.

201
00:09:44,187 --> 00:09:47,021
The air up on that pedestal
must be pretty thin,

202
00:09:47,023 --> 00:09:48,689
'cause you are delusional, sir.

203
00:09:48,691 --> 00:09:52,360
If I am,
I plan on staying that way.

204
00:09:52,362 --> 00:09:54,528
And my network's staying, too.

205
00:09:54,530 --> 00:09:57,114
We've got a problem now,
you and me.

206
00:09:57,165 --> 00:09:59,200
Have a good evening.

207
00:10:04,999 --> 00:10:07,172
_

208
00:10:11,113 --> 00:10:13,381
You knew that the
documents were stolen by the source?

209
00:10:13,383 --> 00:10:15,466
- Yes, sir.
- You knew the documents were classified?

210
00:10:15,517 --> 00:10:18,386
- Yes, sir.
- Did Mr. Sampat tell you anything about the source?

211
00:10:18,437 --> 00:10:20,855
- Yes, sir.
- Did Mr. Sampat tell you his name?

212
00:10:20,889 --> 00:10:22,890
- Yes, sir.
- Will you tell us the name of your source?

213
00:10:22,892 --> 00:10:26,193
- No, sir.
- Let me phrase that differently.

214
00:10:26,228 --> 00:10:28,295
Would you tell the grand jury
the name of the person

215
00:10:28,330 --> 00:10:31,232
you know to have stolen
classified government documents

216
00:10:31,234 --> 00:10:33,534
<i>containing secrets,
which if made public,</i>

217
00:10:33,568 --> 00:10:36,320
<i>could calamitously threaten
our national security?</i>

218
00:10:36,371 --> 00:10:38,372
No, sir, I won't.

219
00:10:38,407 --> 00:10:41,792
At this time I'll excuse the grand
jury until 10:00 AM Wednesday,

220
00:10:41,827 --> 00:10:44,412
at which time I will return
with a court order

221
00:10:44,414 --> 00:10:46,580
compelling the witness
to answer that question.

222
00:10:46,631 --> 00:10:48,132
Thank you,
ladies and gentlemen.

223
00:10:48,166 --> 00:10:50,251
And, Mr. McAvoy,
you can step down.

224
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:06,934
Hey.

225
00:11:06,936 --> 00:11:09,103
Does anybody know if they got
that guy out of the country?

226
00:11:09,154 --> 00:11:11,739
The writer.
The guy who wrote the fake story.

227
00:11:11,773 --> 00:11:13,941
Been over a week since the
government's known about the breach.

228
00:11:13,992 --> 00:11:15,159
They would have pulled him,
right?

229
00:11:15,193 --> 00:11:17,995
You would think so,
but we need to find out.

230
00:11:19,197 --> 00:11:21,832
Oh, come on!

231
00:11:21,867 --> 00:11:23,617
Come on in.

232
00:11:23,668 --> 00:11:25,653
Don't look at any of these papers,
don't look down,

233
00:11:25,687 --> 00:11:27,872
- and don't ask anyone what they're doing.
- Got it.

234
00:11:27,923 --> 00:11:29,457
I just wanted
to ask you in person

235
00:11:29,459 --> 00:11:32,626
why you haven't accepted my
friend request on Instagram.

236
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,931
It was the very next thing
I was gonna do.

237
00:11:36,965 --> 00:11:39,016
- How about now?
- Sure.

238
00:11:39,050 --> 00:11:41,218
Gary, toss me my phone.

239
00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:43,304
Martin, can you read this over,

240
00:11:43,355 --> 00:11:45,306
and if it looks good to you,
take it to Mac?

241
00:11:45,357 --> 00:11:47,141
Sure.

242
00:11:49,678 --> 00:11:52,146
- Accepted.
- Awesome.

243
00:11:55,901 --> 00:11:57,651
Come in.

244
00:11:57,653 --> 00:11:59,820
It's from Don and it says
"Take to Sloan"

245
00:11:59,822 --> 00:12:01,355
and then it says
"Sabbith" in quotes.

246
00:12:01,389 --> 00:12:03,374
I was told to read it.
Do you think it meant take to Sloan Sabbith...

247
00:12:03,408 --> 00:12:04,708
Was the new HR guy
just down there?

248
00:12:04,743 --> 00:12:07,161
- Yeah, how did you know?
- It's his Instagram password.

249
00:12:10,799 --> 00:12:14,301
Nice try, but my mama didn't raise a
fool unless you count my brothers.

250
00:12:14,336 --> 00:12:16,754
So I don't know what we just did,
but I'm gonna go back to work.

251
00:12:16,805 --> 00:12:18,339
- Yeah.
- Hey.

252
00:12:18,390 --> 00:12:19,757
Have you been outside today?

253
00:12:19,808 --> 00:12:21,675
How do you think I got from
where I live to where I work?

254
00:12:21,726 --> 00:12:23,344
- I just mean it's a gorgeous day.
- Shut up.

255
00:12:23,346 --> 00:12:24,678
All right.

256
00:12:24,729 --> 00:12:27,648
There has to be another way.

257
00:12:27,682 --> 00:12:30,918
There has to be another buyer
for this network in the next...

258
00:12:30,952 --> 00:12:33,354
- Few hours?
- Few days.

259
00:12:36,658 --> 00:12:39,159
Elon Musk, Larry Ellison,
Antoinette Dodd,

260
00:12:39,194 --> 00:12:40,995
Michael...
Michael Bloomberg?

261
00:12:41,029 --> 00:12:42,780
- Do you know any of those people?
<i>- I know all of them.</i>

262
00:12:42,831 --> 00:12:44,498
But Leona and Reese
told you they exhausted

263
00:12:44,533 --> 00:12:46,033
all their options
before they went to Pruit.

264
00:12:46,035 --> 00:12:48,669
They exhausted all their options
for keeping control of AWM

265
00:12:48,703 --> 00:12:51,171
before selling us,
but they didn't necessarily

266
00:12:51,206 --> 00:12:53,340
exhaust their options
of who to sell us to.

267
00:12:53,375 --> 00:12:55,509
Look, I want what you want,

268
00:12:55,544 --> 00:12:57,962
but this is big business
and you're a news director.

269
00:12:58,013 --> 00:12:59,296
<i>You don't know
what you're doing.</i>

270
00:12:59,347 --> 00:13:00,848
You can't just write down
names of rich people.

271
00:13:00,882 --> 00:13:02,850
<i>I didn't just write down...
Those are all people</i>

272
00:13:02,884 --> 00:13:05,052
<i>who would be interested
in media buys.</i>

273
00:13:05,054 --> 00:13:06,637
Elon Musk isn't interested.

274
00:13:06,688 --> 00:13:08,806
Michael Bloomberg
has his own media company.

275
00:13:08,857 --> 00:13:11,275
Larry Ellison is busy
winning the America's Cup.

276
00:13:11,309 --> 00:13:13,444
Toni Dodd...

277
00:13:14,980 --> 00:13:17,531
- Antoinette Dodd.
- What?

278
00:13:17,566 --> 00:13:19,984
- This is unbelievable.
- What?

279
00:13:20,035 --> 00:13:21,485
It's just...
So help me Hannah...

280
00:13:21,536 --> 00:13:23,237
I read in Page Six,
like, two weeks ago

281
00:13:23,239 --> 00:13:24,705
that Toni Dodd was looking
to buy a media group.

282
00:13:24,739 --> 00:13:26,907
<i>I remember because I thought,</i>

283
00:13:26,909 --> 00:13:29,410
"This is exactly what happens to
Melanie Griffith in <i>Working Girl</i>."

284
00:13:29,412 --> 00:13:32,246
And, hand to God,
I was on the Staten Island Ferry at the time.

285
00:13:32,297 --> 00:13:34,331
<i>But there was nothing I could
do with that information,</i>

286
00:13:34,382 --> 00:13:37,418
so my mind went to how good a young
Alec Baldwin was in the movie.

287
00:13:37,420 --> 00:13:39,803
And whatever happened
to that Carly Simon song?

288
00:13:39,838 --> 00:13:41,922
You think Toni Dodd wants
to buy a news network?

289
00:13:41,924 --> 00:13:44,508
Page Six wouldn't say it
unless it was true.

290
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,927
And she has in the area
of $4 billion?

291
00:13:46,978 --> 00:13:49,513
That's not how it works.
Nobody has $4 billion.

292
00:13:49,564 --> 00:13:51,265
But, yes, she has $4 billion.

293
00:13:51,316 --> 00:13:54,268
- Are you able to call her? She'll take your call?
- Yeah.

294
00:13:54,270 --> 00:13:57,938
You need to set up a meeting for her
and Leona as soon as humanly possible.

295
00:13:57,989 --> 00:14:00,741
Leona can't meet with another buyer
while she's negotiating with Pruit.

296
00:14:00,775 --> 00:14:03,577
Friendly, informal,
off-the-record meeting.

297
00:14:03,612 --> 00:14:06,914
- Pruit will go away.
- Not fast or far enough.

298
00:14:06,948 --> 00:14:08,282
I know you don't like the guy,
but...

299
00:14:08,333 --> 00:14:09,950
It doesn't matter
that I don't like him.

300
00:14:10,001 --> 00:14:11,669
It matters
that I'm scared of him.

301
00:14:11,703 --> 00:14:13,420
You were scared
of Reese and Leona,

302
00:14:13,455 --> 00:14:14,989
but you turned them around.

303
00:14:15,023 --> 00:14:17,257
You'll fight with Pruit
and you'll win.

304
00:14:17,292 --> 00:14:19,927
I don't want to fight with anybody, Sloan.
I'm tired.

305
00:14:19,961 --> 00:14:21,929
I don't want to expand
the definition of the news.

306
00:14:21,963 --> 00:14:23,297
I want to narrow it.

307
00:14:23,348 --> 00:14:26,216
We'll be right back at the beginning,
only worse.

308
00:14:26,267 --> 00:14:28,435
I can't fight these fights
with this guy.

309
00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:30,688
I won't win.

310
00:14:30,722 --> 00:14:32,640
We can meet with her.

311
00:14:33,942 --> 00:14:36,110
- You and me?
- Yeah.

312
00:14:36,144 --> 00:14:37,778
But quietly.

313
00:14:37,812 --> 00:14:39,730
'Cause there's one option
worse than Pruit,

314
00:14:39,781 --> 00:14:43,317
and that's this place getting sold for
parts and a lot of people out of work.

315
00:14:43,319 --> 00:14:45,402
Very quietly.

316
00:14:45,453 --> 00:14:47,488
And now.

317
00:14:49,708 --> 00:14:52,292
- How'd it go?
- Exactly the way we said it would.

318
00:14:52,327 --> 00:14:53,877
Now Lasenthal goes to a judge

319
00:14:53,912 --> 00:14:55,913
to get court to compel Will
to answer the question.

320
00:14:55,964 --> 00:14:58,582
Now,
tell me what's happening in here.

321
00:14:58,633 --> 00:15:00,300
Tell me we'll be able to run
the story by Wednesday night.

322
00:15:00,335 --> 00:15:01,969
We've got the motive,
but we don't have the ringleader.

323
00:15:02,003 --> 00:15:03,470
The motive is what
we thought it was?

324
00:15:03,505 --> 00:15:05,639
To disrupt and delay their elections.
We've got that cold.

325
00:15:05,674 --> 00:15:07,925
Elections that would have yielded
a hard-line Islamic government.

326
00:15:07,976 --> 00:15:09,510
Democracy is good as long
as we like the outcome.

327
00:15:09,544 --> 00:15:11,679
<i>- Yes.</i>
- How do you circle that square?

328
00:15:11,730 --> 00:15:13,681
By knowing that Islam is a religion
and not a form of government.

329
00:15:13,683 --> 00:15:16,350
- When it becomes one, it is fascism.
- And the 38 dead bodies?

330
00:15:16,401 --> 00:15:18,819
Are a bargain compared to what
it'll cost us in blood and money

331
00:15:18,853 --> 00:15:20,688
when we have to bomb the
place five years from now

332
00:15:20,739 --> 00:15:22,106
<i>because it's al-Qaeda's
new home office.</i>

333
00:15:22,157 --> 00:15:24,274
But we've got
a different problem.

334
00:15:24,325 --> 00:15:26,527
The writer of the story,
we think he's still on the ground.

335
00:15:26,529 --> 00:15:28,696
Don and I are each talking to
a different source at State.

336
00:15:28,698 --> 00:15:31,281
When I asked my source if the writer was out,
he said, "I don't know. Is he?"

337
00:15:31,332 --> 00:15:33,167
They're trying
to slow down the story.

338
00:15:33,201 --> 00:15:34,702
Then my guy said,
"No, the writer is not out."

339
00:15:34,704 --> 00:15:37,204
- Do you believe him?
- 50-50.

340
00:15:37,255 --> 00:15:40,040
But when our story comes out that
this guy worked with the US,

341
00:15:40,091 --> 00:15:41,959
they're gonna slit the throats of
his children right in front of him

342
00:15:42,010 --> 00:15:43,677
<i>and then drag them
down Main Street,</i>

343
00:15:43,712 --> 00:15:46,046
so I don't want to pick
the wrong 50.

344
00:15:46,097 --> 00:15:49,049
- <i>Extend your arbitrary deadline.</i>
- It's not arbitrary.

345
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:51,885
Work with State,
get the guy and his family out today.

346
00:15:51,936 --> 00:15:55,472
- It's night in Kundu.
- The phones don't work at our embassy at night?

347
00:16:04,115 --> 00:16:06,817
- What are you working on?
- A piece.

348
00:16:10,739 --> 00:16:12,623
You're not allowed to tell me?

349
00:16:12,657 --> 00:16:14,658
I don't want
to fight right now.

350
00:16:16,244 --> 00:16:18,462
I don't either.

351
00:16:18,496 --> 00:16:20,164
I'm really glad you said that.

352
00:16:21,132 --> 00:16:23,133
Do you mean that?

353
00:16:25,253 --> 00:16:27,638
I have to go back
to the office tonight.

354
00:16:29,090 --> 00:16:31,925
We're crashing on a deadline
I don't even understand.

355
00:16:31,927 --> 00:16:35,012
I just want to eat my sandwich
near you for a while.

356
00:16:35,063 --> 00:16:38,766
Sometimes you say that
and then you ambush me.

357
00:16:40,068 --> 00:16:42,019
What are you working on?

358
00:16:42,070 --> 00:16:44,438
My editor wants me
to write more personally.

359
00:16:44,489 --> 00:16:46,406
- Like an op-ed?
- Yeah.

360
00:16:46,441 --> 00:16:48,859
- What's wrong with op-eds?
- Nothing.

361
00:16:48,910 --> 00:16:50,944
What are you writing about?

362
00:16:50,995 --> 00:16:52,946
I pitched a few,
but the only one they liked

363
00:16:52,997 --> 00:16:55,332
was my experience
with the Plan B pill.

364
00:16:57,619 --> 00:16:59,453
Cool.

365
00:17:01,706 --> 00:17:04,541
- Come on.
- I said cool.

366
00:17:04,592 --> 00:17:07,127
You said more than that.
What's wrong with writing in the first person?

367
00:17:07,178 --> 00:17:09,296
What's wrong with sex?
And what's wrong with my new job?

368
00:17:09,347 --> 00:17:12,132
Hallie, I said cool.

369
00:17:12,134 --> 00:17:14,301
You're not going to give me
a hard time about this?

370
00:17:15,804 --> 00:17:18,722
I'm your boyfriend.
It is my role to support you.

371
00:17:18,773 --> 00:17:22,142
It's a role I'm grateful to
have and I want to do it well.

372
00:17:23,895 --> 00:17:25,646
Thank you.

373
00:17:25,648 --> 00:17:28,065
- Sorry I jumped the gun.
- No problem.

374
00:17:40,545 --> 00:17:42,212
Does your piece begin,
"Dear <i>Penthouse</i>,

375
00:17:42,247 --> 00:17:45,299
- I've never written a letter like this before"?
- Motherfucker!

376
00:17:53,377 --> 00:17:55,545
_

377
00:18:04,519 --> 00:18:07,104
You know how this is gonna end,
right?

378
00:18:07,155 --> 00:18:09,323
Please don't directly
address my client.

379
00:18:09,357 --> 00:18:10,908
We're in chambers, Counselor.

380
00:18:10,942 --> 00:18:12,359
I don't care if we're
in your fucking hot tub.

381
00:18:12,361 --> 00:18:15,078
Hey, I'm on a government salary.
I barely have a bathtub.

382
00:18:15,113 --> 00:18:16,580
Good morning.

383
00:18:16,614 --> 00:18:18,782
- Morning, Judge.
- Good morning, sir.

384
00:18:18,833 --> 00:18:21,702
Does anybody need
any coffee or anything?

385
00:18:21,753 --> 00:18:23,420
- No, thank you, Judge.
- No, thank you.

386
00:18:23,454 --> 00:18:26,206
Mr. Lasenthal,
how can a man with your resume

387
00:18:26,208 --> 00:18:27,541
possibly let this happen?

388
00:18:27,592 --> 00:18:30,127
Your Honor,
there's a limit to my ability

389
00:18:30,178 --> 00:18:32,045
<i>to let or not let
things happen.</i>

390
00:18:32,047 --> 00:18:34,214
Not much of a limit.

391
00:18:34,216 --> 00:18:37,050
Mr. McAvoy is aware
of the identity of someone

392
00:18:37,052 --> 00:18:40,137
who has committed in excess
of 27,000 counts of theft

393
00:18:40,188 --> 00:18:43,640
<i>of government property,
disclosure of classified documents,</i>

394
00:18:43,691 --> 00:18:46,393
and conspiracy
to commit espionage.

395
00:18:46,395 --> 00:18:48,645
The suspect remains
at large and presents

396
00:18:48,696 --> 00:18:51,281
a clear and present danger
to national security.

397
00:18:51,316 --> 00:18:54,117
<i>Why is he not protected
by the First Amendment?</i>

398
00:18:54,152 --> 00:18:56,570
<i>Because the court in
Branzburg denied the press</i>

399
00:18:56,572 --> 00:18:58,455
First Amendment protection
when they're subpoenaed

400
00:18:58,489 --> 00:19:00,908
to testify before a grand
jury in a criminal case.

401
00:19:00,959 --> 00:19:02,659
Counsel?

402
00:19:02,710 --> 00:19:04,077
Sir,
the court in Branzburg also said

403
00:19:04,128 --> 00:19:06,830
that a journalist need not comply
with a grand jury subpoena

404
00:19:06,881 --> 00:19:08,916
where there's bad faith
or harassment.

405
00:19:08,918 --> 00:19:11,835
The government has raided
my client's newsroom,

406
00:19:11,886 --> 00:19:14,171
seized hard drives,
and threatened him

407
00:19:14,222 --> 00:19:16,306
with criminal prosecution
under the Espionage Act.

408
00:19:16,341 --> 00:19:18,926
In this case,
a journalist participated in the crime.

409
00:19:18,977 --> 00:19:21,845
He didn't pull on a ski mask, Judge.

410
00:19:21,896 --> 00:19:24,564
- He may have unwittingly...
- He didn't do anything unwittingly.

411
00:19:24,599 --> 00:19:26,149
<i>He is the senior
editor of ACN Digital.</i>

412
00:19:26,184 --> 00:19:27,985
<i>You are speculating
on whether a third party...</i>

413
00:19:28,019 --> 00:19:29,353
All right, all right.

414
00:19:29,404 --> 00:19:31,772
Mr. McAvoy,
is there anything you'd like to say?

415
00:19:31,774 --> 00:19:34,608
I haven't heard a request from the prosecutor,
sir.

416
00:19:34,642 --> 00:19:37,744
Am I crazy,
or have you argued in my court?

417
00:19:37,779 --> 00:19:40,864
You're not crazy, sir.
Brooklyn Criminal Court, Part C.

418
00:19:40,915 --> 00:19:44,284
- How'd I do?
- You were very fair.

419
00:19:44,286 --> 00:19:46,820
Does Your Honor need
to recuse himself?

420
00:19:46,854 --> 00:19:48,839
I want counsel
to take care of this.

421
00:19:48,873 --> 00:19:52,342
I don't want to see the press on the
steps when I come in to work tomorrow.

422
00:19:52,377 --> 00:19:56,296
And I absolutely don't want to see
you in my courtroom on Thursday,

423
00:19:56,298 --> 00:19:59,016
which I strongly suspect
is what's going to happen

424
00:19:59,050 --> 00:20:01,601
as Mr. McAvoy
does not strike me

425
00:20:01,636 --> 00:20:03,971
as someone
who is likely to cave,

426
00:20:03,973 --> 00:20:06,023
especially with
everybody watching.

427
00:20:06,057 --> 00:20:08,308
It was foolish of you,
Mr. Lasenthal.

428
00:20:08,310 --> 00:20:10,777
The DOJ should not
have let it go this far.

429
00:20:10,812 --> 00:20:13,814
The Department of Justice, Your Honor,
is not playing a strategic game.

430
00:20:13,865 --> 00:20:17,117
We have to arrest his source and the
government of the United States

431
00:20:17,151 --> 00:20:20,070
will avail itself of every
legal measure to do that.

432
00:20:20,121 --> 00:20:22,322
The government's request
is granted.

433
00:20:22,373 --> 00:20:24,992
Mr. McAvoy,
you're directed to appear

434
00:20:25,043 --> 00:20:27,961
before the grand jury
at 10:00 AM tomorrow.

435
00:20:29,664 --> 00:20:31,999
- I have a logic problem.
- Maggie, what's going on over there?

436
00:20:32,001 --> 00:20:35,252
<i>- His logic is inconsistent.</i>
- How?

437
00:20:35,303 --> 00:20:37,671
He doesn't believe the source should
have leaked classified documents.

438
00:20:37,722 --> 00:20:40,724
- Neither do I.
- But he's unwilling to help law enforcement

439
00:20:40,758 --> 00:20:42,309
capture the source
by identifying him.

440
00:20:42,343 --> 00:20:44,394
He can't.
I'd be unwilling and so would you.

441
00:20:44,429 --> 00:20:46,229
I know,
but following that logic,

442
00:20:46,264 --> 00:20:48,265
he should also not be willing
to broadcast the story.

443
00:20:48,316 --> 00:20:50,734
If he believes no one should
ever leak because it poses

444
00:20:50,768 --> 00:20:53,186
a critical threat,
then why is he broadcasting the story?

445
00:20:53,188 --> 00:20:54,905
Well, I can't speak for Will,
but I will.

446
00:20:54,939 --> 00:20:56,990
This leak, he believes,
is a good leak.

447
00:20:57,025 --> 00:20:59,026
What he's very reasonably
worried about is the bad leaks.

448
00:20:59,028 --> 00:21:00,243
So he'd prefer
there are no leaks.

449
00:21:00,278 --> 00:21:01,862
You and Will are making
the same unilateral decision

450
00:21:01,913 --> 00:21:03,196
you don't want
a leaker to make.

451
00:21:03,198 --> 00:21:05,282
I trust strangers
less than I trust me.

452
00:21:05,333 --> 00:21:06,750
Your logic is consistent,
though horrifying.

453
00:21:06,784 --> 00:21:08,535
No one's gonna ever guess
you guys are a couple.

454
00:21:08,586 --> 00:21:10,087
All right, listen.
Listen up.

455
00:21:10,121 --> 00:21:11,671
He's refusing to leave
without his kids

456
00:21:11,706 --> 00:21:13,874
- and his youngest kid doesn't have a passport.
- Jesus. All right.

457
00:21:13,925 --> 00:21:15,542
We got to get the kid a passport.
The State has to expedite that.

458
00:21:15,544 --> 00:21:17,377
The State Department
can only issue US passports.

459
00:21:17,428 --> 00:21:19,129
- <i>They've got to walk over to the embassy...</i>
<i>- And tell them what?</i>

460
00:21:19,180 --> 00:21:21,598
- Where are we?
- Just...

461
00:21:21,632 --> 00:21:24,935
We need a favor. Whatever it is they do.
Can I talk to you a minute?

462
00:21:31,059 --> 00:21:33,693
The youngest of his three
kids doesn't have a passport.

463
00:21:33,728 --> 00:21:35,395
State's got 30 hours
to get him one.

464
00:21:35,446 --> 00:21:38,065
We are talking to mid-level people
and the US Department of State

465
00:21:38,116 --> 00:21:39,900
isn't hopping to it when
we give them instructions.

466
00:21:39,951 --> 00:21:42,569
You have to tell me why
we have to air the story

467
00:21:42,620 --> 00:21:45,288
tomorrow night and not a
week from tomorrow night.

468
00:21:53,915 --> 00:21:56,716
All right,
I'm gonna be out for about four hours.

469
00:21:56,751 --> 00:21:59,920
Once we run the story, we've shot the hostage.
Will has no more leverage.

470
00:21:59,922 --> 00:22:02,722
If we don't run the story,
why don't we all just go home?

471
00:22:02,757 --> 00:22:05,926
Four hours.
Don't ask me where I was when I come back.

472
00:22:08,429 --> 00:22:12,099
And what we say is
important is important.

473
00:22:12,150 --> 00:22:14,901
The news reflects back to us
our national character

474
00:22:14,936 --> 00:22:18,822
and I don't like seeing a bored and
boring teenager in the mirror.

475
00:22:18,856 --> 00:22:21,942
What we say is important
is important.

476
00:22:21,944 --> 00:22:23,577
It's a solid business, Toni.

477
00:22:23,611 --> 00:22:26,613
Locked-in carriage contracts with
every MVPD and they're staggered.

478
00:22:26,615 --> 00:22:28,198
The carriage fees
are due for a hike

479
00:22:28,249 --> 00:22:30,951
that could double revenues by
itself over the next decade.

480
00:22:30,953 --> 00:22:34,871
Can you talk about valuation?
Earnings before interest?

481
00:22:34,922 --> 00:22:36,623
You'll look at our books and
see it's in the sweet spot

482
00:22:36,625 --> 00:22:38,125
and the deal would be
accretive to your earnings.

483
00:22:38,176 --> 00:22:40,927
- It would pay for itself?
- And then some.

484
00:22:42,213 --> 00:22:44,464
Have you decided
what you would like?

485
00:22:44,466 --> 00:22:47,017
A news network.

486
00:22:55,193 --> 00:22:58,111
You were on fire in there.

487
00:22:58,146 --> 00:23:01,848
I didn't understand half or really
any of what you were saying, but...

488
00:23:01,883 --> 00:23:04,367
You were able to follow when she said
she's meeting with her board on Thursday

489
00:23:04,402 --> 00:23:07,237
and she thinks we'll have
an answer we'll like?

490
00:23:07,288 --> 00:23:10,457
Just tell me one thing.
Is she eccentric?

491
00:23:10,491 --> 00:23:12,909
- How do you mean?
- She didn't eat her food.

492
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,329
She pushed it around a little,
but she plainly doesn't like sushi.

493
00:23:16,331 --> 00:23:19,216
Why set a meeting at a restaurant
where they only serve sushi?

494
00:23:19,250 --> 00:23:21,168
Boss,
you may be overthinking that.

495
00:23:21,170 --> 00:23:23,420
That's hardly ever the problem.

496
00:23:23,471 --> 00:23:25,589
We'll find out Thursday.

497
00:23:31,979 --> 00:23:33,230
It's ahead on the left.

498
00:23:33,264 --> 00:23:35,732
<i>Just here.</i>

499
00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:50,664
You can keep the meter running.

500
00:23:56,037 --> 00:23:59,039
- No umbrella?
- You either.

501
00:23:59,041 --> 00:24:00,874
Should we sit in your car?

502
00:24:00,876 --> 00:24:03,093
They may be tapping my car.

503
00:24:03,127 --> 00:24:05,795
I disabled the GPS,
but they can still get in.

504
00:24:05,846 --> 00:24:08,798
- We need more time.
- I told you tomorrow night.

505
00:24:08,849 --> 00:24:11,184
- Lilly.
- Tomorrow night or I just have to upload the documents.

506
00:24:11,219 --> 00:24:13,136
- The writer of the story...
- We're the writer of the story.

507
00:24:13,187 --> 00:24:15,388
Joseph Bartho,
who physically wrote the story,

508
00:24:15,439 --> 00:24:18,024
whose name is on it,
and who is paid by the US government,

509
00:24:18,059 --> 00:24:22,145
is still on the ground because one of
his kids doesn't have a passport yet.

510
00:24:22,196 --> 00:24:25,732
If we run the story before
Bartho and his family are out,

511
00:24:25,783 --> 00:24:28,902
the best-case scenario is he gets
a trial before he's executed.

512
00:24:28,953 --> 00:24:31,821
And if you dump the documents
without them being vetted,

513
00:24:31,872 --> 00:24:34,541
there's a very good chance other
people will be in danger.

514
00:24:34,575 --> 00:24:36,409
You really don't need to speak
to me like I'm dim-witted.

515
00:24:36,411 --> 00:24:39,579
- Please lift the deadline.
- Give me a reason to trust you.

516
00:24:39,630 --> 00:24:42,332
You already did.
You reached out to us.

517
00:24:42,383 --> 00:24:44,584
- Not the other way around.
- But you've been talking to the government.

518
00:24:44,635 --> 00:24:47,837
We got an invitation to talk to the government.
It's called a subpoena.

519
00:24:47,888 --> 00:24:50,557
They also made an unannounced
drop-by called a raid.

520
00:24:50,591 --> 00:24:52,759
I'm not talking about that.

521
00:24:52,761 --> 00:24:55,011
You said that you've been working with
the government to vet the material.

522
00:24:55,062 --> 00:24:56,896
- Of course we are.
- You trust them?

523
00:24:56,931 --> 00:25:00,567
- In my way.
- You don't trust them any more than I do.

524
00:25:00,601 --> 00:25:03,069
Please lift the deadline.

525
00:25:04,155 --> 00:25:06,106
I reached out to Neal,
not to you.

526
00:25:06,108 --> 00:25:09,526
Well,
Neal's in Venezuela, Lilly.

527
00:25:09,577 --> 00:25:11,328
And you know what?

528
00:25:11,362 --> 00:25:13,196
Why aren't you?

529
00:25:13,247 --> 00:25:16,082
Why haven't you said,
"This has gone too far. Let's switch places.

530
00:25:16,117 --> 00:25:18,451
I'll go to a country with
no extradition treaty.

531
00:25:18,502 --> 00:25:20,120
You're now free
to disclose my name.

532
00:25:20,122 --> 00:25:22,789
Neal can come home and Will
can stop spending his days

533
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,292
in front of a grand jury."
Why hasn't that happened?

534
00:25:25,343 --> 00:25:27,677
You really think the price for telling
the truth should be that high?

535
00:25:30,848 --> 00:25:32,716
No, I don't.

536
00:25:34,135 --> 00:25:37,554
I promise the story
will be reported.

537
00:25:38,773 --> 00:25:40,106
Well, I can't promise anything.

538
00:25:40,141 --> 00:25:42,309
- Really?
- Look, McAvoy's a Republican.

539
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:44,894
- I know he thinks I'm a criminal.
- He's a journalist.

540
00:25:44,945 --> 00:25:46,229
His politics don't
have anything...

541
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,114
"Worst-period-generation-
period-ever-period."

542
00:25:48,149 --> 00:25:49,983
That was spoken in the
middle of a very difficult...

543
00:25:50,034 --> 00:25:52,569
I reached out to Neal,
so I can't promise anything.

544
00:25:55,740 --> 00:25:58,375
You know,
it wouldn't matter if you did.

545
00:25:58,409 --> 00:26:00,377
I trust you less
than I trust them.

546
00:26:00,411 --> 00:26:03,747
Dump the documents
and I'll quit my job,

547
00:26:03,798 --> 00:26:07,384
walk to the FBI,
and give them your name.

548
00:26:07,418 --> 00:26:09,636
- Trust that.
- Fuck you.

549
00:26:12,340 --> 00:26:14,841
We can go back
to the airport now.

550
00:26:18,704 --> 00:26:20,745
_

551
00:26:20,865 --> 00:26:23,650
Mr. McAvoy,
I have here a court order directing you

552
00:26:23,684 --> 00:26:25,352
to tell us the name
of the individual

553
00:26:25,403 --> 00:26:27,187
that is the target
of this investigation.

554
00:26:27,238 --> 00:26:29,606
- <i>Will you comply with the court order?</i>
- No, sir.

555
00:26:29,657 --> 00:26:33,793
- <i>You won't comply with the court order?</i>
- No, sir.

556
00:26:38,199 --> 00:26:39,999
I saw a lot of spirit in that shot,
a lot of guts.

557
00:26:40,034 --> 00:26:41,701
Shut it, Fast Eddie.

558
00:26:41,752 --> 00:26:44,671
Why are hot women in movies
always great at pool?

559
00:26:44,705 --> 00:26:47,590
Is that what men like?
A hot girl who plays nine-ball?

560
00:26:47,625 --> 00:26:49,175
You could have said
anything after "hot girl"

561
00:26:49,210 --> 00:26:50,844
- and the answer would have been...
- All right.

562
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:58,051
- Oh, brother.
- What happened?

563
00:26:58,053 --> 00:27:00,553
- <i>Hallie posted a column. You ready?</i>
- Mm-hmm.

564
00:27:00,604 --> 00:27:03,556
"Old Media Guy
and New Media Girl:

565
00:27:03,558 --> 00:27:05,108
An Analog Romance."

566
00:27:05,142 --> 00:27:07,060
- What's it about?
- What do you think it's about?

567
00:27:07,062 --> 00:27:08,895
- Him?
- Yeah.

568
00:27:08,946 --> 00:27:12,232
It's pretty personal, but in her defense,
she doesn't use his name.

569
00:27:12,283 --> 00:27:14,200
- What does she call him?
<i>- Jim?</i>

570
00:27:14,235 --> 00:27:16,653
- Yeah.
- Tim.

571
00:27:17,738 --> 00:27:19,572
Hallie is
an excellent reporter.

572
00:27:19,574 --> 00:27:21,875
And she's reporting on a fight
she's having with her boyfriend.

573
00:27:21,909 --> 00:27:24,043
- She's working a tough beat.
<i>- It's a lot more than that.</i>

574
00:27:24,078 --> 00:27:25,412
Okay, read it.

575
00:27:25,414 --> 00:27:27,797
"My boyfriend loves me,
but he doesn't like me.

576
00:27:27,832 --> 00:27:31,301
He definitely doesn't follow me.
He disapproves of me."

577
00:27:31,335 --> 00:27:34,471
Maybe he just disapproves of using the
word "me" four times in the lead.

578
00:27:34,505 --> 00:27:36,589
How would you have
written it instead?

579
00:27:36,591 --> 00:27:39,592
I'm not a professional writer,
but I'd have maybe tweaked the opening so it read,

580
00:27:39,643 --> 00:27:41,394
"I am not making
my private life

581
00:27:41,429 --> 00:27:43,430
and the private lives of others
available for entertainment

582
00:27:43,481 --> 00:27:46,065
so I can get comments like,
'You stay strong, Hallie.

583
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:48,601
He doesn't deserve you.'"
Seven in the corner.

584
00:27:48,603 --> 00:27:51,738
I have been a witness to Jim
being a condescending...

585
00:27:52,907 --> 00:27:54,240
Look,
there's nothing wrong with this.

586
00:27:54,275 --> 00:27:56,860
It's relatable and interesting
and she can write like crazy.

587
00:27:56,911 --> 00:27:59,612
Did she ask Jim's permission before
deputizing him into her well-written...

588
00:27:59,663 --> 00:28:01,915
Why are you so quick
to defend Jim?

589
00:28:01,949 --> 00:28:03,700
<i>Why are you so quick
to defend Hallie?</i>

590
00:28:03,751 --> 00:28:05,835
Because she's going
to be attacked by Jim.

591
00:28:05,870 --> 00:28:08,505
Probably not in print,
but I don't think that's the reason.

592
00:28:08,539 --> 00:28:11,708
I'm always grateful when a man can tell
me why I'm thinking what I'm thinking.

593
00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:14,177
You're into Jim and you don't
want to be a jealous cliché,

594
00:28:14,211 --> 00:28:16,463
so you defend Hallie for show.

595
00:28:16,465 --> 00:28:18,548
And it's a classy thing to do,

596
00:28:18,599 --> 00:28:21,518
but at some point we're going to have
to discuss how that makes me feel

597
00:28:21,552 --> 00:28:24,020
to know that any man in your life
is going to be the runner-up.

598
00:28:26,056 --> 00:28:27,524
You really believe that?

599
00:28:59,006 --> 00:29:00,974
Still got my security key.

600
00:29:09,733 --> 00:29:11,684
This place has gone
to hell without me.

601
00:29:11,686 --> 00:29:13,853
Mm-hmm.

602
00:29:21,495 --> 00:29:23,029
It's almost 1:00 in the morning,
Jim.

603
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,000
Are you not coming home
or answering my calls or texts?

604
00:29:30,921 --> 00:29:33,957
I told you my editor wanted me
to write more personally.

605
00:29:37,212 --> 00:29:39,379
There are classified
documents in this room.

606
00:29:39,430 --> 00:29:41,431
You can't be in here.

607
00:29:59,066 --> 00:30:01,818
It was an invasion of privacy.
I'm really sorry for that.

608
00:30:01,869 --> 00:30:03,736
I was mad.
We had just had the last fight

609
00:30:03,738 --> 00:30:06,322
and I went into the other
room and wrote it.

610
00:30:06,373 --> 00:30:08,374
You know my computer
doesn't trust me.

611
00:30:08,409 --> 00:30:10,660
It always asks are you sure
you want to do this?

612
00:30:10,711 --> 00:30:12,245
But it never asks
before I hit...

613
00:30:12,247 --> 00:30:15,415
I don't care about the invasion of privacy.
I wish I did.

614
00:30:17,051 --> 00:30:19,052
I've been here for hours

615
00:30:19,086 --> 00:30:22,305
trying to make myself mad because
it was an invasion of privacy.

616
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:24,424
And the crowd would be on my side.
That's a no-brainer.

617
00:30:24,426 --> 00:30:27,927
- You don't like me very much.
<i>- And I wish I didn't like you so much.</i>

618
00:30:29,763 --> 00:30:31,681
Took five fucking days, Hallie,

619
00:30:31,732 --> 00:30:33,433
for you to give yourself
your own reality show.

620
00:30:33,435 --> 00:30:36,402
I understand your wanting
to insult me right now,

621
00:30:36,437 --> 00:30:38,104
but that's not what I did.

622
00:30:38,106 --> 00:30:40,857
Writing about the media,
writing about the New York elite,

623
00:30:40,908 --> 00:30:43,493
telling personal stories
that resonate with readers

624
00:30:43,527 --> 00:30:46,279
doesn't take one cent
away from covering Syria

625
00:30:46,330 --> 00:30:48,364
and Afghanistan and Washington.

626
00:30:48,415 --> 00:30:49,866
There are foreign
correspondents,

627
00:30:49,917 --> 00:30:51,534
sports correspondents,
fashion correspondents.

628
00:30:51,585 --> 00:30:53,286
And an unbearable
correspondent.

629
00:30:53,288 --> 00:30:56,205
<i>Jealous of the New York elites?
I've got you covered.</i>

630
00:30:56,256 --> 00:30:58,841
A movie star was at
an environmental fundraiser

631
00:30:58,876 --> 00:31:00,426
and they rode on a private jet?

632
00:31:00,461 --> 00:31:02,178
Here's your phony outrage.

633
00:31:02,262 --> 00:31:04,764
Feeling a little like
you didn't make the cut?

634
00:31:04,798 --> 00:31:07,300
I hereby declare
that amateurs are awesome

635
00:31:07,351 --> 00:31:10,186
and professionals
are so 20 years ago.

636
00:31:10,220 --> 00:31:12,855
Only instead of professionals,
I'm gonna say old media,

637
00:31:12,890 --> 00:31:14,440
and instead of Jim,
I'm gonna say Tim

638
00:31:14,475 --> 00:31:16,943
because I'm Hallie Shea,
Senior Fuck You Correspondent

639
00:31:16,977 --> 00:31:19,729
- <i>and I've decided to become a star.</i>
- Are you drunk?

640
00:31:19,780 --> 00:31:22,815
Did you out yourself about the Boston tweet
to make sure no one suspected anyone else

641
00:31:22,817 --> 00:31:24,867
or did you do it to let our
enemies know you were available?

642
00:31:24,902 --> 00:31:26,736
Do you hear the way
you're talking right now?

643
00:31:26,787 --> 00:31:28,955
- Our enemies?
- Did you?

644
00:31:28,989 --> 00:31:31,240
I'm gonna stay
at my place tonight.

645
00:31:32,459 --> 00:31:33,993
Do you mind
if I tell you something?

646
00:31:34,044 --> 00:31:36,079
Your problem isn't with me
and it isn't with the site.

647
00:31:36,130 --> 00:31:38,998
It's with the audience.
You don't like that they like what they like

648
00:31:39,049 --> 00:31:41,050
because you need them to like
you and that's no different...

649
00:31:41,085 --> 00:31:43,219
I don't give a shit
about me or liking me

650
00:31:43,253 --> 00:31:47,173
or following me or
friending me or trending.

651
00:31:47,175 --> 00:31:48,591
It's just ugly.

652
00:31:48,642 --> 00:31:50,343
I think you're threatened
by technology.

653
00:31:50,345 --> 00:31:52,011
<i>I beam a signal into
outer space every night.</i>

654
00:31:52,062 --> 00:31:54,514
I'm not scared of your Samsung Galaxy.
What else you got?

655
00:31:54,565 --> 00:31:57,066
I want to be part of the digital revolution.
I want to be part of...

656
00:31:57,101 --> 00:32:00,570
Oh, my God!
I am not talking about the apparatus.

657
00:32:04,024 --> 00:32:05,491
Just tell me
you know I'm right.

658
00:32:05,526 --> 00:32:07,243
Please. Please.

659
00:32:07,277 --> 00:32:09,162
At least tell me that.

660
00:32:09,196 --> 00:32:12,415
Tell me when you knock away the
digital revolution bullshit...

661
00:32:12,449 --> 00:32:15,201
"We're not beholden
to corporate masters."

662
00:32:15,252 --> 00:32:17,086
Yeah,
or any standard of good taste.

663
00:32:17,121 --> 00:32:19,422
Tell me, please,
that you know all you did

664
00:32:19,456 --> 00:32:22,425
was have a fight with your boyfriend
and litigate it in public.

665
00:32:22,459 --> 00:32:24,544
Because I have spent time
with hardcore drug movers

666
00:32:24,595 --> 00:32:26,879
and they don't pretend
they're selling medicine.

667
00:32:38,192 --> 00:32:40,143
Yeah, I'm drunk.

668
00:33:21,568 --> 00:33:24,821
- I'm gonna miss you.
- You're gonna miss a lot of things, Jim.

669
00:33:42,623 --> 00:33:46,292
- Yeah?
- If he sentences you, where do you go?

670
00:33:46,343 --> 00:33:48,628
Nowhere.
He's not gonna find me in contempt.

671
00:33:48,630 --> 00:33:50,847
- But if he does?
- Manhattan Correctional Center.

672
00:33:50,881 --> 00:33:54,217
- That's a real jail.
- And you've been shot at and you've been stabbed.

673
00:33:54,268 --> 00:33:57,436
It's 1:30.

674
00:33:57,471 --> 00:33:59,272
I think that's your phone.

675
00:34:08,148 --> 00:34:10,650
We need a table or a dresser

676
00:34:10,652 --> 00:34:12,535
where I can put my phone.

677
00:34:12,569 --> 00:34:14,821
Also walls and electricity.

678
00:34:14,872 --> 00:34:16,739
Hello.

679
00:34:16,790 --> 00:34:18,708
Is it Rebecca?
Is it Charlie?

680
00:34:18,742 --> 00:34:20,877
It wouldn't be Charlie.
It'd be Rebecca. Is it work?

681
00:34:20,911 --> 00:34:22,962
It would've been my phone if it was work.
Is it Rebecca?

682
00:34:22,996 --> 00:34:25,298
Hang on.

683
00:34:27,634 --> 00:34:29,669
Yeah?

684
00:34:30,804 --> 00:34:32,388
Okay.

685
00:34:32,422 --> 00:34:35,341
No court tomorrow.
The hearing's been moved to Friday.

686
00:34:35,392 --> 00:34:38,177
Cedarman wants Lasenthal
and Rebecca to work on a deal.

687
00:34:38,179 --> 00:34:41,180
Does he know there won't be a deal
that involves not airing the story?

688
00:34:41,231 --> 00:34:44,684
What he knows is he doesn't want to be
the judge who locked up a news anchor.

689
00:34:47,271 --> 00:34:49,438
I find your Irish stoicism...

690
00:34:49,489 --> 00:34:51,641
- Sexy?
- Irritating.

691
00:34:51,761 --> 00:34:54,332
_

692
00:34:55,612 --> 00:34:57,029
Thank you.

693
00:34:57,031 --> 00:34:59,498
He's out.

694
00:35:01,585 --> 00:35:03,870
Everybody. The whole family.
Everybody's out.

695
00:35:03,921 --> 00:35:06,038
Here we go, tonight.

696
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,507
Show me a rough sketch
to time by 3:00.

697
00:35:08,542 --> 00:35:10,543
Good job, everybody.
Thank you.

698
00:35:10,627 --> 00:35:13,129
We're not done yet.
Good job, Don.

699
00:35:13,180 --> 00:35:15,631
Jim,
you look sleepier than usual.

700
00:35:15,682 --> 00:35:18,384
Tess, Gary, Kendra, Martin,
Sloan, you did nothing.

701
00:35:18,435 --> 00:35:20,052
- <i>Maggie...</i>
- Mac.

702
00:35:20,103 --> 00:35:21,687
Jenna,
your future is limitless.

703
00:35:21,722 --> 00:35:23,022
Reese wants to see you
in his office.

704
00:35:23,056 --> 00:35:25,308
Now?

705
00:35:36,987 --> 00:35:38,788
Reese?

706
00:35:38,822 --> 00:35:41,290
Come on in.
Close the door, please.

707
00:35:41,325 --> 00:35:45,745
Joseph Bartho and the Joseph
Bartho Family Singers are out.

708
00:35:45,796 --> 00:35:47,213
We just got the word.
They're heading to France

709
00:35:47,247 --> 00:35:50,166
via 14 connecting flights
and a team of oxen.

710
00:35:50,217 --> 00:35:51,717
So we're running
the story tonight.

711
00:35:51,752 --> 00:35:54,921
You can't.
I'm sorry, you can't run it at all.

712
00:35:59,343 --> 00:36:01,093
Why?

713
00:36:01,095 --> 00:36:02,895
Pruit.
He signs a deal at the end of the day

714
00:36:02,930 --> 00:36:04,847
and he won't
if we run the story.

715
00:36:09,319 --> 00:36:11,070
Because of Will?

716
00:36:11,104 --> 00:36:13,439
Says he doesn't think there's a
chance Cedarman's gonna send him.

717
00:36:13,490 --> 00:36:16,158
It's not because of Will.
He likes that Will's going to jail.

718
00:36:16,193 --> 00:36:18,194
He wants him to broadcast
from there.

719
00:36:18,245 --> 00:36:20,279
- I'm certain they won't allow that.
- I'm certain they won't, too.

720
00:36:20,330 --> 00:36:22,198
- What's the problem, Reese?
- The fines.

721
00:36:22,249 --> 00:36:23,833
His lawyers had to be told
about the story

722
00:36:23,867 --> 00:36:26,369
and they've advised him that if
the story was gathered illegally,

723
00:36:26,420 --> 00:36:30,456
the Justice Department can and probably
will impose crippling criminal fines.

724
00:36:37,764 --> 00:36:39,966
- This is horseshit.
- I know.

725
00:36:40,017 --> 00:36:43,686
The source risked everything.

726
00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:46,605
Neal's hiding in South America.

727
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,190
Will is facing a grand jury.

728
00:36:48,225 --> 00:36:49,775
Bartho and his family
fled the country.

729
00:36:49,810 --> 00:36:51,310
- And it was for nothing?
<i>- Mac.</i>

730
00:36:51,361 --> 00:36:54,897
- It was for nothing?
- Yeah.

731
00:36:56,014 --> 00:36:59,318
Selling the company is the only way
you get to live to fight another day.

732
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,821
Do we ever get to win one?

733
00:37:05,542 --> 00:37:07,159
I've got to go
and tell the staff.

734
00:37:07,210 --> 00:37:11,464
Hey, Mac. You know,
the fight with the grand jury isn't over.

735
00:37:11,498 --> 00:37:13,632
- They still want his source.
- I know.

736
00:37:13,667 --> 00:37:16,635
Since the day you got here,
Will's been having a battle with himself.

737
00:37:16,670 --> 00:37:19,005
Is he a real journalist
or just good on TV?

738
00:37:19,056 --> 00:37:21,724
You ever think he might
be doing this for you?

739
00:37:21,758 --> 00:37:25,177
Because I don't think there's not a
chance he's gonna be sent to jail.

740
00:37:25,179 --> 00:37:26,929
I've got his ring on my finger.

741
00:37:26,980 --> 00:37:29,565
He's not doing this
to win my approval.

742
00:37:29,599 --> 00:37:32,852
Then it would be the first thing
I've seen him do that wasn't.

743
00:37:39,276 --> 00:37:41,027
I'm going to tell the staff.

744
00:37:41,029 --> 00:37:43,446
- I'm sorry.
- Thank you.

745
00:38:19,483 --> 00:38:23,202
Can I make a suggestion which,
if you think about it, makes a lot of sense?

746
00:38:24,404 --> 00:38:25,821
Don't say anything.

747
00:38:25,872 --> 00:38:27,656
Have Rebecca go to Lasenthal
and say we're willing

748
00:38:27,707 --> 00:38:29,825
to kill the story in exchange
for everybody's off the hook.

749
00:38:29,876 --> 00:38:33,212
Do you think there's a chance Will
would let Rebecca utter those words?

750
00:38:33,246 --> 00:38:37,666
No.

751
00:38:39,252 --> 00:38:41,504
Let's pack the documents
up in cartons

752
00:38:41,555 --> 00:38:43,005
and label everything.

753
00:38:43,056 --> 00:38:45,841
Yep.

754
00:38:47,427 --> 00:38:49,595
Who's the most responsible
reporter you can name?

755
00:38:49,597 --> 00:38:51,480
- You.
- Thank you.

756
00:38:51,515 --> 00:38:53,766
Who doesn't work here.

757
00:38:53,768 --> 00:38:56,268
Maybe someone who could
use a break.

758
00:38:57,270 --> 00:38:58,938
Responsible how?

759
00:39:04,861 --> 00:39:06,946
There is an old teacher
of mine from Columbia.

760
00:39:06,948 --> 00:39:09,832
<i>She mostly gets garbage assignments
now 'cause she's in her 70s.</i>

761
00:39:09,866 --> 00:39:12,001
Write her name down.

762
00:39:20,127 --> 00:39:22,761
I just heard.
Sorry, Bubba.

763
00:39:23,947 --> 00:39:25,798
Good afternoon.

764
00:39:29,636 --> 00:39:32,438
I'll tell you, Mr. Geary,
this isn't the best time.

765
00:39:32,472 --> 00:39:34,306
You two are a couple.

766
00:39:34,308 --> 00:39:35,941
We're not,
but maybe we can do this later.

767
00:39:35,976 --> 00:39:38,894
No, you are.
I have a signed letter declaring that you are.

768
00:39:38,945 --> 00:39:42,031
It was sitting in my office in a pile
of things I hadn't gotten to yet.

769
00:39:42,065 --> 00:39:44,316
- Somebody ratted us out?
- Yes.

770
00:39:44,318 --> 00:39:46,368
Nobody around here would drop a dime.
You're blowing smoke.

771
00:39:46,403 --> 00:39:47,369
- Who cheesed?
- Okay, Mugsy.

772
00:39:47,404 --> 00:39:48,904
- <i>You did.</i>
- Huh?

773
00:39:48,955 --> 00:39:51,657
- You did.
- Which one of us are you talking to?

774
00:39:51,659 --> 00:39:53,626
- I think you know.
- What's he talking about?

775
00:39:53,660 --> 00:39:56,495
Sloan wrote a letter to HR
declaring the two of you a couple.

776
00:39:56,497 --> 00:39:59,999
Yeah, it was after you made $125 on the
Chipotle trade I tipped you off to.

777
00:40:00,001 --> 00:40:02,668
We spent the last two weeks trying to
conceal from this man that we're dating

778
00:40:02,670 --> 00:40:05,054
and the whole time you knew you'd sent
him a letter saying we were dating?

779
00:40:05,088 --> 00:40:06,388
- Mm-hmm.
- Why?

780
00:40:06,423 --> 00:40:08,090
Well, obviously I was
hoping he'd never find out.

781
00:40:08,141 --> 00:40:09,758
But you knew he was gonna
read the letter eventually.

782
00:40:09,809 --> 00:40:12,178
Eventually is a wonderful
time of day.

783
00:40:12,262 --> 00:40:14,480
This was a cross that bridge when
we get to it situation for me.

784
00:40:14,514 --> 00:40:16,432
And here we are.
We're at the bridge.

785
00:40:16,483 --> 00:40:18,984
- Wyatt...
- Is lying to corporate something you do habitually?

786
00:40:19,019 --> 00:40:21,937
Don and I like to make decisions
about lying on a case-by-case basis.

787
00:40:21,988 --> 00:40:23,439
Maybe you've helped enough.

788
00:40:23,473 --> 00:40:26,192
Please,
don't transfer one of us.

789
00:40:26,194 --> 00:40:28,827
We don't work together enough,
but the little we do works.

790
00:40:28,862 --> 00:40:31,163
And if you ask Sloan to choose
between me and her job,

791
00:40:31,198 --> 00:40:33,866
you wouldn't be able to get that
sentence out before she said her job,

792
00:40:33,868 --> 00:40:36,368
and I really like her and I'm
trying to be good enough.

793
00:40:36,419 --> 00:40:38,170
And this here is the
best thing that I do.

794
00:40:38,205 --> 00:40:40,539
And can I say one more thing?
It's just occurred to me

795
00:40:40,590 --> 00:40:43,676
that your company is only going to own
my network until the end of the day,

796
00:40:43,710 --> 00:40:45,878
so what the hell has this
all been about?

797
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,931
- Come to think of it...
- I'm blown away you let me do it this long.

798
00:40:48,965 --> 00:40:50,716
Why did you do it this long?

799
00:40:50,767 --> 00:40:52,518
Fun.

800
00:40:52,552 --> 00:40:54,470
I work in HR.

801
00:40:54,521 --> 00:40:57,640
Our days aren't scored
by the "Hallelujah Chorus."

802
00:40:59,276 --> 00:41:02,811
I don't know anything about the
story you were all working on,

803
00:41:02,862 --> 00:41:05,397
but I know enough to say sorry.

804
00:41:06,900 --> 00:41:08,817
Good luck to the two of you.

805
00:41:08,868 --> 00:41:11,654
I'm a big fan.

806
00:41:11,705 --> 00:41:14,123
Put those Instagram
photos back.

807
00:41:14,157 --> 00:41:16,909
- Yes, sir.
- Why haven't we heard anything yet?

808
00:41:16,911 --> 00:41:19,211
- The board's still meeting.
- Pruit just walked into the building.

809
00:41:19,246 --> 00:41:21,163
- He's an hour early.
- Yeah.

810
00:41:21,214 --> 00:41:22,982
What are you guys
talking about?

811
00:41:23,016 --> 00:41:25,834
The Bloomberg terminal will tell
us everything we need to know.

812
00:41:28,138 --> 00:41:31,890
Bloomberg terminal, tell us what's going
on with Toni Dodd's board meeting.

813
00:41:31,925 --> 00:41:33,142
It's not a Ouija board.

814
00:41:33,176 --> 00:41:35,728
I wasn't...
I was just, you know, praying.

815
00:41:35,762 --> 00:41:37,179
- What are you two...
- Hang on.

816
00:41:37,230 --> 00:41:39,598
Their press rep just tweeted,

817
00:41:39,649 --> 00:41:42,234
"Exciting announcement
about major media acquisition

818
00:41:42,269 --> 00:41:44,236
coming at 5:00 PM."

819
00:41:44,271 --> 00:41:46,655
Go. Tell Reese.

820
00:41:46,690 --> 00:41:48,107
So what's going on?

821
00:41:48,109 --> 00:41:50,993
We found a white knight.
Antoinette Dodd's gonna buy ACN.

822
00:41:51,027 --> 00:41:52,411
- Are you kidding?
- Hang on.

823
00:41:52,445 --> 00:41:54,113
- <i>No, seriously.</i>
- Hang on.

824
00:41:54,164 --> 00:41:56,699
- How did you do that?
- Shit.

825
00:41:56,750 --> 00:41:58,584
- What?
- This can't be happening.

826
00:41:58,618 --> 00:41:59,835
I don't know what
you're looking at.

827
00:41:59,869 --> 00:42:01,670
Options on Halifax
just started trading up.

828
00:42:01,705 --> 00:42:05,291
- The Halifax Group.
- Halifax Group options...

829
00:42:05,293 --> 00:42:07,042
Fuck!

830
00:42:07,093 --> 00:42:08,844
She's buying Halifax.

831
00:42:08,878 --> 00:42:10,629
She met...
I don't believe this.

832
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,181
She met with us.
She wanted them to think...

833
00:42:12,215 --> 00:42:14,266
We were leverage.

834
00:42:15,969 --> 00:42:18,020
God damn it!

835
00:42:19,272 --> 00:42:21,690
<i>There's no need for airports.</i>

836
00:42:21,725 --> 00:42:23,609
Just runways and a fence.

837
00:42:23,643 --> 00:42:25,611
That's a hell of a plan, Lucas.

838
00:42:25,645 --> 00:42:28,981
Dude, I told you in college that one day I
was gonna buy a company out from under you.

839
00:42:29,032 --> 00:42:30,616
I gave you, like,
15 years' warning.

840
00:42:30,650 --> 00:42:33,902
I remember you telling me you
were sleeping with my girlfriend,

841
00:42:33,953 --> 00:42:35,487
but not the second thing.

842
00:42:35,489 --> 00:42:37,239
You were probably in shock
from the first thing.

843
00:42:37,290 --> 00:42:41,327
Call it off! You don't have to
sell us to this pretentious ponce.

844
00:42:41,329 --> 00:42:43,996
Toni Dodd just got out
of her board meeting

845
00:42:43,998 --> 00:42:46,165
and she's gonna make
a competitive offer.

846
00:42:46,216 --> 00:42:50,002
So fuck you and fuck you again,
you fiber-optic yak.

847
00:42:50,004 --> 00:42:53,305
Charlie. Charlie.

848
00:42:55,342 --> 00:42:58,227
What Sloan's telling Charlie is
that people are buying Halifax

849
00:42:58,261 --> 00:43:00,679
at the current stock price with
an expiration on the assumption

850
00:43:00,730 --> 00:43:02,681
<i>that Toni's about to
announce she's buying it.</i>

851
00:43:02,683 --> 00:43:04,433
It was leverage, Charlie.

852
00:43:04,484 --> 00:43:06,568
She wanted people to think
she was looking at ACN.

853
00:43:06,603 --> 00:43:08,404
That's why she had you guys
eat at that sushi place.

854
00:43:08,438 --> 00:43:10,105
She knew there was a Halifax
board member there.

855
00:43:10,156 --> 00:43:12,191
- You're gonna love me, Charlie.
- No, I'm not.

856
00:43:12,193 --> 00:43:13,692
Yeah, you are.

857
00:43:13,694 --> 00:43:16,028
I'm gonna take you
into the 21st century

858
00:43:16,079 --> 00:43:18,914
right after I drag you
through the 19th and 20th.

859
00:43:18,948 --> 00:43:21,500
- You couldn't have gotten here 10 seconds sooner?
- I just saw it.

860
00:43:21,534 --> 00:43:24,169
- What's the point of having a Bloomberg terminal...
- It's not the terminal's fault.

861
00:43:24,204 --> 00:43:25,287
<i>You want a ceremonial pen?</i>

862
00:43:25,338 --> 00:43:27,423
It can write in a zero
gravity environment.

863
00:43:27,457 --> 00:43:29,792
Yeah,
I plan to take a trip through the ionosphere.

864
00:43:29,843 --> 00:43:32,878
Keep that sense of humor.
You're very entertaining.

865
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,214
- No, whoa. Come on.
- Whoa. Whoa.

866
00:43:35,265 --> 00:43:37,132
We're sworn enemies now,
he and I.

867
00:43:37,183 --> 00:43:38,684
He can still hear you.

868
00:43:40,553 --> 00:43:43,522
- Did you see Charlie?
- After the show.

869
00:43:43,556 --> 00:43:45,557
He was cleaning his
12-gauge with Maker's Mark

870
00:43:45,559 --> 00:43:47,476
and muttering,
"Kill the wabbit."

871
00:43:51,731 --> 00:43:54,566
It's not Irish stoicism, is it?

872
00:43:56,403 --> 00:44:00,239
This is some kind of
internal baptism for you,

873
00:44:00,290 --> 00:44:04,076
which would be heartbreaking enough,
except I think maybe it's a little for me.

874
00:44:04,078 --> 00:44:07,246
Don't you know that
anything that can be proven

875
00:44:07,297 --> 00:44:10,549
by courage and character,
you proved to me a long time ago?

876
00:44:10,583 --> 00:44:12,251
You want me to give up
the source?

877
00:44:12,302 --> 00:44:13,919
I just want you to say
you're scared.

878
00:44:13,970 --> 00:44:15,721
All right, here's the thing,
MacKenzie.

879
00:44:15,755 --> 00:44:18,390
'Cause I love you,
but you've had me on your couch for three years

880
00:44:18,425 --> 00:44:20,592
and this one time
we're switching places.

881
00:44:20,594 --> 00:44:22,511
You're tearing yourself up

882
00:44:22,562 --> 00:44:24,813
because you either prioritize
the story over me,

883
00:44:24,848 --> 00:44:26,432
which you think
makes you a bad person,

884
00:44:26,483 --> 00:44:28,066
or you prioritize me
over the story,

885
00:44:28,101 --> 00:44:29,601
which you think makes
you a bad reporter.

886
00:44:29,603 --> 00:44:32,438
Either way, you're wrong.
The source came to Neal

887
00:44:32,489 --> 00:44:34,740
and then I asked Neal
for his name and then...

888
00:44:34,774 --> 00:44:37,192
- You can stop saying "his."
- What do you mean?

889
00:44:37,243 --> 00:44:40,162
His name.
The source is a woman.

890
00:44:40,196 --> 00:44:42,364
I've spoken to her
in person twice.

891
00:44:42,415 --> 00:44:43,832
I know just as much
about her as you do.

892
00:44:43,867 --> 00:44:46,502
Why are you standing in front
of a judge and not me?

893
00:44:46,536 --> 00:44:48,420
Oh, God.

894
00:44:49,756 --> 00:44:52,040
You can't ever repeat
what you just said.

895
00:44:52,876 --> 00:44:55,558
_

896
00:44:57,213 --> 00:44:59,131
<i>- Mr.
- McAvoy refused to comply</i>

897
00:44:59,133 --> 00:45:00,799
<i>with an order of this court.</i>

898

00:45:08,809 --> 00:45:12,945
if he refuses the order
and does so without just cause.

902
00:45:12,979 --> 00:45:14,646
We're here today to determine

903
00:45:14,697 --> 00:45:17,149
if the witness
can show just cause.

904
00:45:17,151 --> 00:45:19,868
Miss Halliday,
I'll hear argument for the witness.

905
00:45:19,903 --> 00:45:22,404
Thank you, Your Honor.
And may it please the court.

906
00:45:22,455 --> 00:45:26,041
Mr. McAvoy's cause exists
because he is protected

907
00:45:26,075 --> 00:45:28,293
by a reporter's privilege
to withhold information,

908
00:45:28,328 --> 00:45:31,997
a privilege that's been recognized
by a wide range of courts.

909
00:45:45,011 --> 00:45:47,346
<i>If we were to
apply that test here,</i>

910
00:45:47,348 --> 00:45:50,265
we would find that the information
given by the reporter's source

911
00:45:50,316 --> 00:45:51,984
poses no harm to the public

912
00:45:52,018 --> 00:45:53,352
and we would weigh that

913
00:45:53,403 --> 00:45:55,571
against the newsworthiness
of the US government

914
00:45:55,605 --> 00:45:58,991
swift-boating a foreign
election with disinformation

915
00:45:59,025 --> 00:46:02,194
that got 38 people,
including three Americans, killed.

916
00:46:04,030 --> 00:46:07,866
No one disputes that this is a tragic
story of unintended consequences.

917
00:46:07,917 --> 00:46:09,835
No one intended
for anyone to die

918
00:46:09,869 --> 00:46:11,870
and no one did
anything illegal.

919
00:46:11,905 --> 00:46:14,923
<i>Our intelligence professionals
engage in covert operations</i>

920
00:46:14,958 --> 00:46:17,876
<i>all over the world to keep us safe.
It's their job.</i>

921
00:46:17,927 --> 00:46:20,879
It's how we won World War II.
It's how we won the Cold War.

922
00:46:20,881 --> 00:46:22,548
<i>It's how the Berlin Wall fell</i>

923
00:46:22,599 --> 00:46:25,884
<i>and it's why more buildings
didn't fall on September 12.</i>

924
00:46:25,886 --> 00:46:28,687
But not only can't they do
their jobs if their identities

925
00:46:28,721 --> 00:46:30,939
are revealed by a rogue
government worker,

926
00:46:30,974 --> 00:46:33,525
<i>their lives and the lives
of their families</i>

927
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,360
will be put
at great risk immediately

928
00:46:35,395 --> 00:46:37,062
and perhaps without
even their knowledge.

929
00:46:37,064 --> 00:46:40,198
Judge, when they do their jobs recklessly,
the public has a right to know.

930
00:46:40,233 --> 00:46:42,951
And how does someone who isn't
an experienced professional

931
00:46:42,986 --> 00:46:45,571
in the clandestine
services presume to know

932
00:46:45,622 --> 00:46:47,322
when one of our agents
is doing their job well?

933
00:46:47,373 --> 00:46:51,243
In this case,
we can put a stethoscope on the 38 bodies.

934
00:46:51,245 --> 00:46:54,663
The court is sufficiently convinced
of the news value of this story.

935
00:46:54,747 --> 00:46:57,666
Mr. Lasenthal,
please speak to any harm it poses.

936
00:46:57,750 --> 00:47:00,469
Judge,
someone with a high level of security clearance

937
00:47:00,503 --> 00:47:02,387
has committed an act
of espionage.

938
00:47:02,422 --> 00:47:03,972
That fact is not in dispute.

939
00:47:04,007 --> 00:47:05,924
<i>This person is still
inside the government,</i>

940
00:47:05,975 --> 00:47:08,677
<i>still has access
to classified materials.</i>

941
00:47:08,728 --> 00:47:10,562
This person must be
apprehended.

942
00:47:10,597 --> 00:47:13,899
Law enforcement doesn't know the identity.
Mr. McAvoy does.

943
00:47:13,933 --> 00:47:17,402
And I can't imagine what other
argument the court needs to hear.

944
00:47:19,822 --> 00:47:22,324
Mr. McAvoy.

945
00:47:22,358 --> 00:47:24,276
What do you want me to do?

946
00:47:26,863 --> 00:47:29,031
Your Honor,
if you're leaving it up to me,

947
00:47:29,082 --> 00:47:30,832
I'd just as soon go home.

948
00:47:32,835 --> 00:47:36,338
It's funny, but the first time the
Supreme Court ever supported a claim

949
00:47:36,372 --> 00:47:40,208
of protection under the First
Amendment wasn't until 1919.

950
00:47:40,259 --> 00:47:42,461
<i>The amendment says
Congress shall make no law</i>

951
00:47:42,512 --> 00:47:45,097
abridging freedom of speech
or of the press.

952
00:47:45,131 --> 00:47:47,182
And we went 125 years

953
00:47:47,216 --> 00:47:50,268
without that law protecting
critical expression.

954
00:47:50,303 --> 00:47:53,472
The legislation that
sparked the dissent?

955
00:47:53,474 --> 00:47:55,223
The Espionage Act.

956
00:47:57,060 --> 00:47:59,695
I just thought
that was interesting.

957
00:48:01,981 --> 00:48:04,783
I appreciate the defense
my attorney mounted,

958
00:48:04,817 --> 00:48:07,069
but my heart is with
the prosecutor.

959
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:08,704
I'm sorry, Rebecca, it just is.

960
00:48:08,738 --> 00:48:10,572
It didn't used to be
that so much damage

961
00:48:10,623 --> 00:48:12,407
could be done by so few people.

962
00:48:12,458 --> 00:48:15,193
It just used to be harder.
It took more manpower.

963
00:48:15,228 --> 00:48:18,296
So, for me,
I don't like the cost benefit.

964
00:48:18,331 --> 00:48:22,050
But I can't give you
the name of my source.

965
00:48:22,085 --> 00:48:24,336
I'm just not allowed to,
Your Honor.

966
00:48:24,338 --> 00:48:27,005
It's as simple as that.
I'm not allowed to.

967
00:48:27,974 --> 00:48:29,224
And as Your Honor well knows,

968
00:48:29,258 --> 00:48:31,643
prison time
in a civil contempt case

969
00:48:31,678 --> 00:48:33,395
can't be punitive,
only coercive.

970
00:48:33,429 --> 00:48:37,015
So with that in mind,
I'm telling the government and the court

971
00:48:37,066 --> 00:48:39,351
that there are no number
of prison days

972
00:48:39,402 --> 00:48:43,572
after which I will reveal
my source's identity.

973
00:48:47,860 --> 00:48:51,863
Well, I hate to say this,
but we're just going to have to find out.

974
00:48:51,914 --> 00:48:55,283
Mr. McAvoy,
I find you in contempt of court

975
00:48:55,334 --> 00:48:58,253
and order you to surrender
yourself to the US Marshals

976
00:48:58,287 --> 00:49:01,256
in this building
on this day at 5:00 PM.

977
00:49:01,290 --> 00:49:04,259
Yes, sir.

978
00:49:17,557 --> 00:49:20,108
Hey, you know this is bullshit.

979
00:49:22,895 --> 00:49:24,479
I don't think you
should wait for me.

980
00:49:24,530 --> 00:49:25,981
I think you should forget
about me and move on.

981
00:49:26,032 --> 00:49:28,200
- Okay.
- Listen, remember,

982
00:49:28,234 --> 00:49:31,119
only my conversations
with my lawyer are privileged.

983
00:49:31,154 --> 00:49:33,038
Right?
What we were talking about last night.

984
00:49:33,072 --> 00:49:35,874
- Yeah, or your wife.
- Yeah, but you wanted to be a June bride...

985
00:49:35,908 --> 00:49:37,626
I don't anymore.
I want to get married now.

986
00:49:37,660 --> 00:49:39,745
I think you should have
thought about that... Wait.

987
00:49:39,747 --> 00:49:42,214
- Are you serious?
- I'm more than serious.

988
00:49:42,248 --> 00:49:43,799
We get a waiver
from the mayor's office

989
00:49:43,833 --> 00:49:45,550
and use the chapel
at City Hall.

990
00:49:45,585 --> 00:49:47,669
Honey, we've got 300 people
coming to a wedding

991
00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:49,554
you've been planning
for 25 years.

992
00:49:49,589 --> 00:49:52,174
Remember the seven weeks I
spent picking the invitations?

993
00:49:52,225 --> 00:49:55,427
- I really do.
- Done.

994
00:49:55,478 --> 00:49:58,597
"I'm marrying Will today at 3:30 PM at City Hall..."

995
00:49:58,599 --> 00:50:00,348
"...if you guys
want to come."

996
00:50:00,399 --> 00:50:02,651
- Congratulations!
- Finally!

997
00:50:02,735 --> 00:50:04,820
That... That's what...
I was begging...

998
00:50:04,854 --> 00:50:06,688
for seven weeks
we were looking...

999
00:50:06,739 --> 00:50:09,441
Different cardboard...
Okay.

1000
00:50:09,443 --> 00:50:11,409
For that little stunt,
I'm gonna marry your ass off.

1001
00:50:11,444 --> 00:50:14,329
Charlie, Don, Gary, Jim, Martin,
we're putting on a wedding.

1002
00:50:14,363 --> 00:50:16,581
- This is men's work.
- All right.

1003
00:50:16,616 --> 00:50:19,618
- Let's go. City Hall, here we come.
- You finally grew a brain.

1004
00:52:20,261 --> 00:52:23,839
_

1005
00:52:49,101 --> 00:52:52,237
- I saw on the news.
- Thanks for seeing me, Phil.

1006
00:52:52,271 --> 00:52:54,105
You really want to spend
your last hours of freedom

1007
00:52:54,156 --> 00:52:56,491
arguing with me about something
that's 2,000 years old?

1008
00:52:56,525 --> 00:52:59,327
No, we can do that another time.
I wanted to ask a favor.

1009
00:52:59,362 --> 00:53:02,197
Mac and I have moved our wedding
up from June to this afternoon.

1010
00:53:02,248 --> 00:53:05,000
MacKenzie, while not being as religious as,
say, you are,

1011
00:53:05,034 --> 00:53:07,619
- she's not a full-on whack job or anything...
- Yeah.

1012
00:53:07,670 --> 00:53:11,289
She is devout and a Catholic
service would mean a lot to her.

1013
00:53:11,324 --> 00:53:13,341
I can do that.
Where are you being married?

1014
00:53:13,376 --> 00:53:15,710
At the chapel at City Hall.

1015
00:53:15,761 --> 00:53:18,630
Catholic service has to be
performed in a Catholic church.

1016
00:53:18,632 --> 00:53:21,433
Doesn't that sound like one of
those rules we've talked about?

1017
00:53:21,467 --> 00:53:25,220
God's omniscient,
but He's only willing to work in certain buildings?

1018
00:53:25,271 --> 00:53:28,223
- That's not...
- Like it's a union thing.

1019
00:53:28,274 --> 00:53:29,975
Fine.

1020
00:53:29,977 --> 00:53:33,194
Thank you.
I'll have a car waiting at 3:15.

1021
00:53:37,366 --> 00:53:38,733
Will.

1022
00:53:38,784 --> 00:53:40,485
You want to pray with me?

1023
00:53:51,964 --> 00:53:54,564
♪ Ave Maria ♪

1024
00:54:06,262 --> 00:54:08,862
♪ Gratia plena... ♪

1025
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,855
You have to make
a grand apology to her.

1026
00:54:16,857 --> 00:54:18,740
- Really grand.
- I know.

1027
00:54:18,774 --> 00:54:22,027
- Canyon grand.
- I know.

1028
00:54:22,078 --> 00:54:24,913
- Where's Professor Ethics?
- We had a fight.

1029
00:54:24,947 --> 00:54:27,582
About what?

1030
00:54:27,616 --> 00:54:29,284
Nothing.

1031
00:54:39,512 --> 00:54:42,714
Rejoice with those who rejoice.

1032
00:54:42,765 --> 00:54:45,550
Weep with those who weep.

1033
00:54:45,552 --> 00:54:47,635
Have the same regard
for one another.

1034
00:54:47,686 --> 00:54:51,022
Do not be haughty,
but associate with the lowly.

1035
00:54:51,057 --> 00:54:53,808
<i>Do not be wise
in your own estimation.</i>

1036
00:54:58,731 --> 00:55:01,733
<i>Do not repay anyone
evil for evil.</i>

1037
00:55:01,784 --> 00:55:04,736
<i>Be concerned for what is noble
in the sight of all.</i>

1038
00:55:04,738 --> 00:55:08,073
If possible, on your part,

1039
00:55:08,075 --> 00:55:10,241
live at peace with all.

1040
00:55:10,292 --> 00:55:13,294
- The word of the Lord.
- Thanks be to God.

1041
00:55:27,309 --> 00:55:29,978
Do you take this man to be
your lawful wedded husband?

1042
00:55:31,514 --> 00:55:33,431
I do.

1043
00:55:33,482 --> 00:55:36,768
<i>Do you take this woman to be
your lawful wedded wife?</i>

1044
00:55:38,237 --> 00:55:40,021
I do.

1045
00:56:43,514 --> 00:56:48,816
