[vibrating]
2
00:01:16,034 --> 00:01:19,913
Oh, God. Fred, what happened?
3
00:01:24,877 --> 00:01:26,086
So, that's it?
4
00:01:28,005 --> 00:01:32,301
Motherfuck, we're destroyed. [panting]
5
00:01:34,553 --> 00:01:35,721
No, I'll tell him.
6
00:01:40,309 --> 00:01:41,894

00:01:44,354 --> 00:01:45,689

[sighs]
10
00:01:57,868 --> 00:01:59,703
Someone better be dead, buddy.

00:02:28,398 --> 00:02:31,109
-[beeping]
-[groans]
12
00:02:31,193 --> 00:02:32,194
Mm-mmm.
13
00:02:33,779 --> 00:02:35,531
[yawns]
14
00:02:37,074 --> 00:02:39,576
[sighs]
15
00:02:41,870 --> 00:02:43,288
[phone vibrating]
16
00:03:14,695 --> 00:03:16,071
[vocalizing]
17
00:03:28,125 --> 00:03:29,126
Shit.
18
00:03:36,008 --> 00:03:37,092
[sighs]
19
00:03:47,394 --> 00:03:49,855
[man 1] Following that,
you'll interview Gerard Thompson,
20
00:03:49,938 --> 00:03:54,067
Art Department at Vanderbilt,
to discuss a recently resurfaced Van Gogh.
21
00:03:54,151 --> 00:03:56,361
[man 2] I'm scheduling an hour to go over
your speech for Friday night.
22
00:03:56,445 --> 00:03:59,615
I think it's gonna run over though. I'm
gonna push your drinks with Jane Fonda.
23
00:03:59,698 --> 00:04:00,699
[man 1] Next up,
24
00:04:00,782 --> 00:04:03,327
you'll interview the senator
to discuss her book on policy-making
25
00:04:03,410 --> 00:04:04,411
and why it's broken.
26
00:04:04,494 --> 00:04:06,872
[man 2] You need to do your
final fitting for your gown for Friday.
27
00:04:06,955 --> 00:04:08,957
They're gonna bring it
to the studio today.
28
00:04:09,041 --> 00:04:11,668
[man 1] And if you ever want
the senator on the show again--
29
00:04:12,669 --> 00:04:15,005
[man 2] You have a parent-teacher night
at Lizzy's school next week.
30
00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:17,216
[man 1] Chip's trying to get ahold of you.
Something urgent.
31
00:04:17,298 --> 00:04:19,718
[man 2 faint, indistinct]
32
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:52,793
Oh, my God.
33
00:04:53,752 --> 00:04:54,753
Who died?
34
00:04:54,837 --> 00:04:59,174
["American Pie" plays on radio]
35
00:05:08,892 --> 00:05:10,727
Oh, my God.
Jesus, would you turn this off?
36
00:05:10,811 --> 00:05:11,812
[music stops]
37
00:05:11,895 --> 00:05:14,189
He's been singing about the same fucking
plane crash the past 50 years.
38
00:05:14,273 --> 00:05:16,316
Everybody's still dead. Time to move on.
39
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,860
-Am I right, Joe?
-Yep.
40
00:05:17,943 --> 00:05:19,695
Hey, watch the bumps.
I'm doing my eyeliner.
41
00:05:19,778 --> 00:05:20,946
I'm--
42
00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:23,448
And, Alan, what is this anyway?
What is this bullshit?
43
00:05:23,532 --> 00:05:25,450
What exactly is bullshit this time?
What is it?
44
00:05:25,534 --> 00:05:29,079
This stupid idea that we're gonna convince
the world's coal-fired power plants
45
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:31,039
to invest in carbon capture
without linkage.
46
00:05:31,123 --> 00:05:33,500
Oh, my God, Jesus. Can we please
not have this linkage debate again?
47
00:05:33,584 --> 00:05:34,585
-What?
-It's not about linkage.
48
00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:36,128
This is about a protest
and how the town is divided.
49
00:05:36,211 --> 00:05:37,504
-That's what this is about.
-Yes, I know.
50
00:05:37,588 --> 00:05:38,964
Who went through all the burgers?
51
00:05:39,047 --> 00:05:40,924
-No.
-Here, Joe. Have my french fries.
52
00:05:41,008 --> 00:05:42,342
-Thank you.
-They're cold, but don't complain.
53
00:05:42,426 --> 00:05:43,969
How many burgers did you eat, Joe?
54
00:05:44,052 --> 00:05:46,722
By the way, okay, so we're
gonna talk about how the town's divided.
55
00:05:46,805 --> 00:05:49,850
But we're also gonna slip in
how safe carbon capture is.
56
00:05:49,933 --> 00:05:50,934
Mm-hmm.
57
00:05:51,018 --> 00:05:53,020
What? You put it in the copy.
58
00:05:53,103 --> 00:05:55,397
This is not my agenda, Bradley, okay?
59
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,900
I'm just a liberal Harvard longhair
who cut his hair short for this job.
60
00:05:57,983 --> 00:05:59,651
This is a stepping-stone for me.
I play by the rules.
61
00:05:59,735 --> 00:06:01,612
The truth is the truth, whether you're
writing for The Bumfuck Gazette
62
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:02,779
-or The New York Times.
-Shit.
63
00:06:02,863 --> 00:06:04,031
-I hope we made the right turn.
-By the way,
64
00:06:04,114 --> 00:06:06,992
that was an award-worthy shoehorning of
the word "Harvard" into the conversation.
65
00:06:07,075 --> 00:06:08,327
[Alan] Okay, you guys, can we please--
66
00:06:08,410 --> 00:06:11,997
I swear, Joe. Everybody who's ever been to
Harvard can make an entire conversation
67
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,208
out of the word "Harvard,"
like, "Harvard, Harvard, Harvard?"
68
00:06:14,291 --> 00:06:16,293
-Harvard, Harvard, Harvard.
-[laughs]
69
00:06:16,376 --> 00:06:18,504
Are we gonna keep doing this?
How long is this gonna go on for?
70
00:06:18,587 --> 00:06:21,840
Holy shit. Mitch Kessler just
got fired off The Morning Show.
71
00:06:21,924 --> 00:06:23,759
-What?
-Wait, what? What the hell happened?
72
00:06:23,842 --> 00:06:24,843
[Joe] Let me see.
73
00:06:25,469 --> 00:06:27,971
One less idiot to peddle soft news
to the masses.
74
00:06:28,055 --> 00:06:30,432
[woman] Prior to being named coanchor
of The Morning Show,
75
00:06:30,516 --> 00:06:33,435
the fallen Kessler was a fixture
of UBA's news division,
76
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:35,687
serving as UBA's
White House correspondent,
77
00:06:35,771 --> 00:06:39,399
a presidential debate moderator
and network field correspondent.
78
00:06:39,483 --> 00:06:41,610
The recipient
of multiple broadcast awards,
79
00:06:41,693 --> 00:06:44,863
including a Leadership in Journalism award
from the New York Media Foundation
80
00:06:44,947 --> 00:06:49,743
he and the TMS team have won
12 Daytime Emmys in their 15-year tenure.
81
00:06:50,244 --> 00:06:52,788
Late last night, The New York Times
was reportedly tipped off
82
00:06:52,871 --> 00:06:56,917
to an internal investigation by UBA
into Kessler's sexual misconduct.
83
00:06:57,376 --> 00:07:00,838
Up until today, The Morning Show
was the only morning news broadcast
84
00:07:00,921 --> 00:07:04,007
to dodge the Me Too scandals that have
seemingly plagued its competitors.
85
00:07:04,091 --> 00:07:06,426
-When?
-Just broke. Does she know yet?
86
00:07:06,510 --> 00:07:10,931
She knows. We're reworking the whole show.
We are live in 90 minutes.
87
00:07:11,014 --> 00:07:14,518
Buckle up. Layla's working on new copy.
Get it to Alex A.S.A.P.
88
00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:15,602
Got it.
89
00:07:17,938 --> 00:07:21,859
We had no choice. It was multiple
complaints of sexual misconduct.
90
00:07:21,942 --> 00:07:25,529
How multiple? Who? When?
91
00:07:25,612 --> 00:07:29,074
I don't know. It's confidential.
It leaked to the Times overnight.
92
00:07:29,867 --> 00:07:30,993
How?
93
00:07:31,076 --> 00:07:34,580
I have no clue who leaked it.
I fucking wish I knew.
94
00:07:35,414 --> 00:07:37,082
I'm trying to deal with this quietly.
95
00:07:40,502 --> 00:07:45,424
Shit. Okay. HR has been looking into it
for a few weeks. I didn't want--
96
00:07:45,966 --> 00:07:49,636
I didn't wanna drag you in. I was trying
to protect you, Alex, okay? Before you--
97
00:07:50,971 --> 00:07:52,431
[door closes]
98
00:07:52,514 --> 00:07:54,308
You knew about this,
and you didn't tell me?
99
00:07:54,391 --> 00:07:57,477
What am I? Some fucking PA from Idaho
who doesn't need to know what's going on?
100
00:07:57,561 --> 00:07:59,688
Alex, I was trying
to respect your space...
101
00:07:59,771 --> 00:08:01,106
-My space.
-...like you asked me to,
102
00:08:01,190 --> 00:08:03,358
so that you can go out there every morning
and do what you do,
103
00:08:03,442 --> 00:08:04,568
what America needs you to do.
104
00:08:04,651 --> 00:08:07,446
Oh, fuck you, Chip. Fuck you.
Don't drag America into this.
105
00:08:07,529 --> 00:08:09,615
They've got enough shit to deal with.
106
00:08:09,698 --> 00:08:14,912
This affects me, okay?
My on-air partner, my TV husband...
107
00:08:14,995 --> 00:08:16,455
[sighs]
108
00:08:16,538 --> 00:08:18,749
is a sexual predator now?
109
00:08:19,791 --> 00:08:23,545
What part of you thought that I should not
have been involved in this conversation?
110
00:08:24,588 --> 00:08:26,298
You think chemistry
just comes in a bottle,
111
00:08:26,381 --> 00:08:28,467
and we go out and we buy another one
at Whole Foods?
112
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:30,135
Charlie Black's office.
Please hold one moment.
113
00:08:30,969 --> 00:08:32,221
Charlie Black's office.
Please hold one moment.
114
00:08:32,304 --> 00:08:35,015
Rena. Where is he? We need to discuss
how we're handling the show today.
115
00:08:35,097 --> 00:08:37,518
He's in there with her.
And he said no interruptions.
116
00:08:37,601 --> 00:08:40,020
Rena, we're live in less than two hours,
for Chrissake.
117
00:08:40,102 --> 00:08:44,024
Charlie Black's office. Please hol--
Oh. Hi. Let me see if I can get him.
118
00:08:44,650 --> 00:08:47,569
-Really? Wow.
-Really.
119
00:08:47,653 --> 00:08:49,029
-Excuse me.
-Wow.
120
00:08:49,112 --> 00:08:50,322
-[Alex] My ass. You know that.
-[Chip] True. But--
121
00:08:50,405 --> 00:08:53,700
-[Alex] What?
-It's the network-- Cory and Fred.
122
00:08:53,784 --> 00:08:55,035
-Fabulous. Put 'em through.
-Yeah.
123
00:08:56,662 --> 00:08:57,913
-[phone rings]
-I got it.
124
00:08:58,330 --> 00:09:00,082
-Hi, it's Alex.
-And Chip.
125
00:09:00,165 --> 00:09:04,795
-Alex? Alex, it's Cory here.
-And Fred.
126
00:09:04,878 --> 00:09:08,841
I am just incredibly sorry about this.
I feel absolutely terrible.
127
00:09:08,924 --> 00:09:12,845
I feel like Mitch died.
The Mitch that I knew.
128
00:09:12,928 --> 00:09:14,847
And I've only been running
the news division for a month,
129
00:09:14,930 --> 00:09:16,890
so I can't imagine
what you must be feeling.
130
00:09:16,974 --> 00:09:18,475
[Fred] My condolences, Alex.
131
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,018
This is so hard for all of us.
132
00:09:20,102 --> 00:09:23,981
Look, we're all a family here,
and we've had a tragedy. So, we're--
133
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:27,484
[Fred] Any kind of sexual misconduct
will not be tolerated by the network.
134
00:09:27,568 --> 00:09:29,736
-[Cory] Well, absolutely not.
-[Fred] You think you know someone--
135
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:32,447
Okay, thank you, Fred and Cory.
136
00:09:32,531 --> 00:09:35,033
But I can't really think about that
right now because I've got to focus
137
00:09:35,117 --> 00:09:38,412
on what we're putting on the show
in less than two hours.
138
00:09:38,495 --> 00:09:39,496
-More caffeine.
-Thank you.
139
00:09:39,580 --> 00:09:40,581
Oh, thank you.
140
00:09:40,664 --> 00:09:44,126
That's exactly why you're the pro
that you are.
141
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:47,045
We just have to take this
one step at a time, right?
142
00:09:47,129 --> 00:09:48,839
Can't let the fact
that there's hundreds of millions
143
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:51,175
of advertising dollars at stake here--
We're not gonna let that...
144
00:09:51,258 --> 00:09:53,927
-Fuck you.
-...bother us, because change can be good.
145
00:09:54,011 --> 00:09:56,555
And one man's tragedy,
it can be another man's opportunity.
146
00:09:56,638 --> 00:09:58,724
So let's, fuck yeah, embrace it.
147
00:09:58,807 --> 00:10:04,021
And use this to reinvent ourselves,
make things bigger and better. Well--
148
00:10:04,104 --> 00:10:07,149
Thank God we've got you, Alex.
You will carry us through this.
149
00:10:07,858 --> 00:10:11,445
I guess that's why they've been dragging
their feet on closing my renegotiations.
150
00:10:13,530 --> 00:10:14,823
Yeah. Hey, guys.
151
00:10:15,490 --> 00:10:16,658
So listen,
152
00:10:16,742 --> 00:10:23,081
my gut instinct is to bring the news
to America myself honestly.
153
00:10:23,165 --> 00:10:27,127
Addressing the truth is the only way
to protect our integrity.
154
00:10:27,586 --> 00:10:30,214
So, we will talk to them
as members of our family.
155
00:10:30,297 --> 00:10:34,384
We will grieve with them.
We will go through this together.
156
00:10:34,468 --> 00:10:36,220
She's a class act. All the way.
157
00:10:36,303 --> 00:10:37,304
Shut up.
158
00:10:37,888 --> 00:10:41,475
And if we use this right, this is
our chance to get our audience back.
159
00:10:41,558 --> 00:10:44,186
I couldn't agree more, Alex.
I think you've got the right idea there.
160
00:10:44,269 --> 00:10:45,521
[Alex] Pull the family together.
161
00:10:45,604 --> 00:10:48,649
And we'll get a surge in our ratings
for a few days. And--
162
00:10:50,275 --> 00:10:51,735
I was gonna say that.
163
00:10:51,818 --> 00:10:54,613
May sweeps are imminent, let's not forget.
164
00:10:56,949 --> 00:11:02,412
And yes, yes. We can discuss who
we're gonna be putting in Mitch's chair...
165
00:11:04,706 --> 00:11:05,707
today.
166
00:11:06,458 --> 00:11:09,002
But I am addressing America
up top on my own.
167
00:11:09,670 --> 00:11:11,004
-Like we have a choice.
-[pushes button]
168
00:11:11,088 --> 00:11:13,090
[Alex] I don't want anyone
sitting in Mitch's chair.
169
00:11:13,507 --> 00:11:16,134
Not during this. That's mine.
170
00:11:24,977 --> 00:11:26,687
[sighs]
171
00:11:34,319 --> 00:11:35,696
I can't feel anything.
172
00:11:37,906 --> 00:11:39,741
Don't worry. I'll be with you.
173
00:11:40,242 --> 00:11:44,413
You'll get out there, and you'll feel it.
You'll find it, like you always do.
174
00:11:46,164 --> 00:11:49,042

[country music playing]
179
00:12:37,257 --> 00:12:40,219
[music fades out]
180
00:12:40,302 --> 00:12:41,345
-Bradley.
-What?
181
00:12:41,428 --> 00:12:43,639
I'm telling you something.
It's for your own good.
182
00:12:43,722 --> 00:12:44,723
What?
183
00:12:45,807 --> 00:12:46,808
You're awful.
184
00:12:48,143 --> 00:12:50,479
Blow me, Alan. Just because I push back?
185
00:12:50,562 --> 00:12:53,649
You don't push back.
You incinerate. Everyone says it.
186
00:12:53,732 --> 00:12:55,192
You fight everyone on everything.
187
00:12:55,275 --> 00:12:58,737
Well, there's a lot of sloppy work done
around here, mainly by you.
188
00:12:58,820 --> 00:13:00,822
You know that anchor opening
on the late hour?
189
00:13:01,782 --> 00:13:02,991
They're giving it to Sarah.
190
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,286
Sarah?
191
00:13:07,287 --> 00:13:10,707
The world's only conservative lesbian
who weirdly looks like Mary Hart
192
00:13:10,791 --> 00:13:13,043
and has also been at the channel
three years less than me?
193
00:13:14,419 --> 00:13:16,588
People like her.
It's not a crime, you know?
194
00:13:16,672 --> 00:13:17,673
Gotcha.
195
00:13:18,090 --> 00:13:21,969
Hey, just do yourself a favor.
Try to be more agreeable, for Chrissake!
196
00:13:22,052 --> 00:13:23,679
I am fucking agreeable!
197
00:13:24,847 --> 00:13:28,225
Coal creates jobs! Coal creates jobs!
198
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:31,144
Coal creates jobs!
Coal creates jobs!
199
00:13:31,228 --> 00:13:33,981
Coal creates jobs! Coal creates jobs!
200
00:13:34,064 --> 00:13:36,483
No more coal! No more coal!

-...is what used to be...
-No more coal! No more coal!
202
00:13:38,527 --> 00:13:41,697
-No more coal! No more coal!
-[phone vibrating]

No more coal! No more coal! No more coal!
204
00:13:45,784 --> 00:13:48,579
Hey, I gotta take this.
I got something going on at home.
205
00:13:48,662 --> 00:13:51,790
-No more coal! No more coal!
-Mom, hold on.
206
00:13:51,874 --> 00:13:53,417
Hey, honey.
You sound like you don't want to talk.
207
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:56,962
Hold on, Mom. I'm doing my job
at a protest right now. What's going on?
208
00:13:57,045 --> 00:13:58,922
A protest? Is everything safe?
209
00:13:59,006 --> 00:14:02,551
I'm at a coal mine.
No, I'm safe. Is Hal okay?
210
00:14:02,634 --> 00:14:03,969
He's doing just fine.
211
00:14:04,052 --> 00:14:05,596
Mom, speak up. I can't hear you.
212
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,474
You sound really busy. I just wanna let
you know I brought your brother home.
213
00:14:09,558 --> 00:14:10,559
You did not.
214
00:14:10,642 --> 00:14:13,478
Don't take that tone.
You sound like a bitch, honey.
215
00:14:13,562 --> 00:14:16,523
-I'll talk to you later.
-No more coal! No more coal!
216
00:14:16,607 --> 00:14:19,902
-Joe! Jesus. Fuck.
-No more coal! No more coal!
217
00:14:19,985 --> 00:14:20,986
Joe. Hey.
218
00:14:21,069 --> 00:14:22,821
-Over here.
-Okay. God.
219
00:14:23,238 --> 00:14:26,200
-Yeah. Sorry about that.
-Okay, Bradley, this is Jenna Macantire,
220
00:14:26,283 --> 00:14:27,492
-she's protesting mines.
-Hey.
221
00:14:27,576 --> 00:14:30,537
This is Bob Stephens. His family's been
in the mining business for generations.
222
00:14:30,621 --> 00:14:31,955
All right. I got it.
223
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:35,584
I'm gonna need a wide shot, okay?
And then we'll go on three and two, one.
224
00:14:35,667 --> 00:14:37,836
[grunting]
225
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,547
-Hey! You okay, Joe?
-[Joe] Yeah.
226
00:14:40,631 --> 00:14:41,715
Hey. What are you doing?
227
00:14:41,798 --> 00:14:43,175
Let go of me, fake news bitch!
228
00:14:43,258 --> 00:14:44,259
-What?
-Get off of me.
229
00:14:44,343 --> 00:14:45,385
What did you fucking call me?
230
00:14:45,469 --> 00:14:46,970
Called you a fake news bitch
is what I called you.
231
00:14:47,054 --> 00:14:49,306
Oh, yeah? I'm fake news?
What's the real news then?
232
00:14:49,389 --> 00:14:51,350
You tell me five facts about coal,
and I'll let you go.
233
00:14:51,433 --> 00:14:52,643
I don't have to tell you shit, lady.
234
00:14:52,726 --> 00:14:55,604
You knocked down my cameraman. Otherwise
I'm gonna have you arrested for assault.
235
00:14:55,687 --> 00:14:57,606
I bet you don't know jack shit about coal.
236
00:14:57,689 --> 00:14:59,316
You're just out here
trying to raise some hell.
237
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:00,442
Go! Tell me!
238
00:15:00,526 --> 00:15:01,527
Coal is a cheap fuel.
239
00:15:01,610 --> 00:15:03,529
[imitates buzzer] Wrong! What else?
240
00:15:03,612 --> 00:15:05,197
I don't know. It's easy to get for people.
241
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,657
Wrong! What else?
242
00:15:06,740 --> 00:15:08,367
It makes jobs for everybody.
Everyone's happy.
243
00:15:08,450 --> 00:15:10,994
Yeah, so does death, okay?
You think that's a good idea?
244
00:15:11,078 --> 00:15:12,579
-No, I don't--
-If it's so positive,
245
00:15:12,663 --> 00:15:14,665
why do you think all these people
are out here protesting?
246
00:15:14,748 --> 00:15:16,375
I don't know. Because they
think it's dangerous or--
247
00:15:16,458 --> 00:15:17,709
Do you think it's dangerous?
248
00:15:17,793 --> 00:15:23,423
Do you even know what's in coal ash?
Arsenic, copper, lead, mercury, uranium.
249
00:15:23,507 --> 00:15:26,593
That is some toxic shit.
And what about jobs?
250
00:15:26,677 --> 00:15:28,679
How many jobs have been lost
in the last ten years?
251
00:15:28,762 --> 00:15:29,680
-I don't know.
-Huh?
252
00:15:29,763 --> 00:15:34,643
Thousands! Thousands of fucking families
knocked on their asses.
253
00:15:34,726 --> 00:15:36,436
And it's just a big wheel
that goes around.
254
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,065
Liberals add sanctions.
Conservatives remove those sanctions.
255
00:15:40,148 --> 00:15:43,235
And they just keep fighting 'cause
all they wanna do is hear themselves talk.
256
00:15:43,318 --> 00:15:45,654
And they all want to be right.
And they all wanna win.
257
00:15:45,737 --> 00:15:49,241
And that's all they fucking care about.
And there's a human cost!
258
00:15:49,324 --> 00:15:50,868
And it's exhausting!
259
00:15:51,201 --> 00:15:52,828
I'm exhausted!
260
00:15:52,911 --> 00:15:55,455
-Okay. Okay. Okay, Jesus.
-[panting]
261
00:15:56,582 --> 00:15:57,624
Get off me.
262
00:15:59,126 --> 00:16:01,003
[panting]
263
00:16:04,423 --> 00:16:05,924
Don't knock over old men.
264
00:16:06,008 --> 00:16:07,843
I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
265
00:16:09,970 --> 00:16:10,971
Okay.
266
00:16:11,054 --> 00:16:13,265
-Okay, let's take it away.
-I'm ready. I'm ready.
267
00:16:13,348 --> 00:16:15,267
Okay, are y'all ready?
268
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,605
In three, two, one.
269
00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:23,817
Hi. I'm Bradley Jackson at
Lachlan Coal Mine, reporting to you today.
270
00:16:23,901 --> 00:16:27,321
This coal mine is reopening
after closing four years ago
271
00:16:27,404 --> 00:16:31,033
due to declining coal demands
and rising regulatory threats,
272
00:16:31,116 --> 00:16:33,368
costing this area thousands of jobs.
273
00:16:37,122 --> 00:16:38,373
It's time.
274
00:16:39,082 --> 00:16:40,083
[Alex] I'm ready.
275
00:16:46,173 --> 00:16:47,591
[exhales]
276
00:17:00,020 --> 00:17:01,355
[sighs]
277
00:17:06,818 --> 00:17:08,111
I revised the copy myself.
278
00:17:08,194 --> 00:17:10,405
I gave my copy. I know what I'm saying.
279
00:17:12,281 --> 00:17:13,784
[sighs] Yeah.
280
00:17:21,208 --> 00:17:23,126
-Mm.
-Okay. Last looks.
281
00:17:27,506 --> 00:17:29,258
Thanks. [clears throat]
282
00:17:35,347 --> 00:17:37,140
Okay. There. Thanks.
283
00:17:38,725 --> 00:17:40,352
-Okay, clear.
-[assistant] Check the time.
284
00:17:40,435 --> 00:17:41,687
[director] Stand by, A.
285
00:17:43,021 --> 00:17:45,774
Roll A. Eight seconds to you.
286
00:17:47,150 --> 00:17:48,151
Five...
287
00:17:48,610 --> 00:17:50,529
[woman] Four, three.
288
00:17:50,946 --> 00:17:53,657
-[theme song plays]
-[director] Two. Start your move.
289
00:17:54,324 --> 00:17:55,325
Cue her.
290
00:17:56,076 --> 00:18:00,747
Good morning. I'm bringing you
some sad and upsetting news.
291
00:18:01,707 --> 00:18:05,711
Mitch Kessler,
my cohost and partner of 15 years,
292
00:18:06,545 --> 00:18:09,214
was fired today for sexual misconduct.
293
00:18:10,299 --> 00:18:11,675
All right. Stay strong.
294
00:18:12,176 --> 00:18:16,180
First and foremost, I want to offer
our sympathy and support to the women.
295
00:18:16,805 --> 00:18:21,977
We are devastated that this happened
on our watch, and our hearts are with you.
296
00:18:22,477 --> 00:18:26,982
And to you at home,
I understand how you must be feeling
297
00:18:27,065 --> 00:18:32,446
because I and the whole team here at
The Morning Show are feeling the same way.
298
00:18:32,863 --> 00:18:36,783
Shock, disappointment, disbelief.
299
00:18:37,117 --> 00:18:38,702
She's throwing me under the bus.
300
00:18:38,785 --> 00:18:41,663
And while I don't know the details
of the allegations,
301
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,543
I understand that they were serious and
that keeping Mitch on was not an option.
302
00:18:46,627 --> 00:18:48,629
I don't think we need to watch any more
of this. Let's prep you for your--
303
00:18:48,712 --> 00:18:50,756
Do not touch that remote.
304
00:18:51,798 --> 00:18:55,844
[Alex] We know he was part of our family,
of your families.
305
00:18:57,596 --> 00:18:59,473
We will all miss that person.
306
00:19:02,226 --> 00:19:04,561
But there are consequences in life.
307
00:19:05,395 --> 00:19:08,732
As a woman, I can say
there often aren't enough of them.
308
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:16,740
And while I will miss the Mitch
I thought I knew with all of my heart...
309
00:19:20,661 --> 00:19:23,330
I am proud to work on a network
310
00:19:23,413 --> 00:19:28,252
and live in a country
that upholds consequences.
311
00:19:29,169 --> 00:19:30,170
What a load.
312
00:19:30,712 --> 00:19:35,843
So, please have patience with us as
we find our footing in the next few days.
313
00:19:35,926 --> 00:19:37,052
[Cory] She's on fire today.
314
00:19:37,135 --> 00:19:39,429
We will bring you the news, as always.
315
00:19:39,513 --> 00:19:41,473
Too bad we can't
always throw a crisis at her.
316
00:19:41,557 --> 00:19:43,183
-It turns her lights on.
-We will share any information
317
00:19:43,267 --> 00:19:44,601
we have with you.
318
00:19:45,060 --> 00:19:50,732
You are part of this family.
And we will get through this together.
319
00:19:51,733 --> 00:19:52,943
We'll be right back.
320
00:19:55,112 --> 00:19:56,488
[director] We're back in 30.
321
00:19:56,989 --> 00:19:58,240
It's good. Good.
322
00:19:58,323 --> 00:19:59,324
That was beautiful.
323
00:19:59,867 --> 00:20:02,327
[woman] Roll A. Back in two minutes.
324
00:20:02,411 --> 00:20:04,621
-[man] Drop down to 40%. Hold.
-[sighs]
325
00:20:05,998 --> 00:20:07,457
-[man] Yeah, that's perfect.
-[clears throat]
326
00:20:07,541 --> 00:20:08,917
-Here are some tissues.
-No, I don't need it.
327
00:20:09,001 --> 00:20:10,419
-I'm good.
-Okay.
328
00:20:10,502 --> 00:20:11,587

00:20:37,237 --> 00:20:39,948
You're just out here trying to
raise some hell. Go ahead. Tell me.
334
00:20:40,032 --> 00:20:41,116
-[man] I don't know, coal--
-[Bradley] What?
335
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,951
-[man] Coal is a cheap fuel.
-Shit.
336
00:20:43,035 --> 00:20:46,079
Bradley Jackson.
Stop your ass right there.
337
00:20:46,163 --> 00:20:48,999
Why the hell am I hearing
that you hired Sarah Oppenheimer
338
00:20:49,082 --> 00:20:50,667
for the anchor job on America On Point?
339
00:20:50,751 --> 00:20:53,712
Don't even. You know what everybody's
talking about here today?
340
00:20:53,795 --> 00:20:56,006
Two things. Mitch Kessler is fired
341
00:20:56,089 --> 00:20:58,300
and Bradley Jackson lost her shit
at the protest.
342
00:20:58,383 --> 00:21:01,553
Climb off me, Jones. How was I supposed
to know people were filming me?
343
00:21:01,637 --> 00:21:03,263
What? Like it's not the 21st century?
344
00:21:03,347 --> 00:21:05,265
I was talking to him about the truth.
345
00:21:05,349 --> 00:21:07,559
You remember the truth? Journalism?
346
00:21:07,643 --> 00:21:11,146
We're newspeople, Jones.
Listen to yourself.
347
00:21:11,647 --> 00:21:13,524
I gave you a shot.
348
00:21:13,607 --> 00:21:14,650
I know you did.
349
00:21:14,733 --> 00:21:16,276
When nobody else would.
350
00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:19,112
You've been bouncing around for years,
and we both know why.
351
00:21:19,196 --> 00:21:21,365
-I don't wanna talk about that.
-"Two-Fucks Jackson."
352
00:21:22,157 --> 00:21:26,161
I was very young. I got flustered.
And that was ten years ago.
353
00:21:26,245 --> 00:21:28,664
You get too hot too fast, Bradley.
354
00:21:28,747 --> 00:21:33,669
I accidentally said "fuck." Okay?
And then I got mad at myself and--
355
00:21:33,752 --> 00:21:36,547
Said "fuck" again, on live TV.
356
00:21:36,630 --> 00:21:37,714
[sighs]
357
00:21:37,798 --> 00:21:39,007
I remember.
358
00:21:39,091 --> 00:21:42,094
And there goes
the ballad of Bradley Jackson.
359
00:21:44,054 --> 00:21:46,765
You know what? Find some other puppet.
360
00:21:47,182 --> 00:21:50,143
Find some other person that
you can put slanted copy in front of them,
361
00:21:50,227 --> 00:21:53,981
that'll go to the coal mine protests,
your school shootings,
362
00:21:54,064 --> 00:21:56,108
the pregnant lady that got hit by a truck.
363
00:21:56,191 --> 00:22:00,320
Find somebody else to be invisible for
you, to deal with the world's heartaches
364
00:22:00,404 --> 00:22:02,990
and not have
any fucking feelings about it!
365
00:22:03,073 --> 00:22:04,074
I quit!
366
00:22:05,534 --> 00:22:10,330
Research shows that sexual harassment
in the early stages of one's career
367
00:22:10,414 --> 00:22:13,584
can lead to long-term
psychological damage.
368
00:22:13,667 --> 00:22:19,131
And specifically, what type of behavior
or-- or, uh, uh, harassment
369
00:22:19,214 --> 00:22:20,465
would cause that kind of long-term damage?
370
00:22:20,549 --> 00:22:22,134
[director] Stand by camera three.
371
00:22:22,217 --> 00:22:24,678
Jesus, Yanko. Could he be
more uncomfortable talking about this?
372
00:22:24,761 --> 00:22:27,472
[sighs] Don't let Yanko talk.
373
00:22:27,556 --> 00:22:32,436
As you said, Dr. Marino, this affects
so many of us. What would you say...
374
00:22:32,519 --> 00:22:35,772
You knocked down my cameraman. Otherwise
I'm gonna have you arrested for assault.
375
00:22:35,856 --> 00:22:37,608
I bet you don't know jack shit about coal.
376
00:22:37,691 --> 00:22:40,694
You're just out here trying to
raise some hell. Go ahead. Tell me.
377
00:22:40,777 --> 00:22:41,778
-I don't know--
-What?
378
00:22:41,862 --> 00:22:42,863
Coal is a cheap fuel.
379
00:22:42,946 --> 00:22:44,823
[imitates buzzer] Wrong! What else?
380
00:22:45,407 --> 00:22:46,408
Hannah.
381
00:22:46,491 --> 00:22:47,492
Wrong! What else?
382
00:22:47,576 --> 00:22:49,745
You said you were looking for stories
about strong women tomorrow.
383
00:22:49,828 --> 00:22:50,871
Check this out.
384
00:22:50,954 --> 00:22:53,624
[Bradley] If it's so fucking great, why
are these people are out here protesting?
385
00:22:53,707 --> 00:22:56,084
-I don't know. They think it's dangerous.
-Do you even know what's in coal ash?
386
00:22:56,168 --> 00:22:57,794
-Who is this?
-Let me help you out.
387
00:22:57,878 --> 00:23:01,256
Bradley Jackson, some conservative
correspondent for SENN.
388
00:23:01,340 --> 00:23:06,053
She's fucking funny,
but also resonates some truth.
389
00:23:06,136 --> 00:23:08,639
And the weary voice of America speaks out.
390
00:23:09,806 --> 00:23:11,308
It's like a little piece
of performance art.
391
00:23:11,391 --> 00:23:14,019
[Bradley] Thousands.
Thousands of jobs have been lost.
392
00:23:16,313 --> 00:23:19,149
They can't do this to me. It's illegal.
393
00:23:19,650 --> 00:23:21,902
They can't just take my life away
based on hearsay.
394
00:23:21,985 --> 00:23:24,696
They have documented complaints, Mitch.
We have to deal with the reality--
395
00:23:24,780 --> 00:23:28,659
Documented complaints about what? That
I had affairs? Since when is that a crime?
396
00:23:28,742 --> 00:23:32,454
No, no, no, no. No. I'm--
I'm not proud of it, but what the fuck?
397
00:23:32,538 --> 00:23:34,456
I didn't invent extracurricular sex.
398
00:23:34,540 --> 00:23:35,999
What is happening here?
399
00:23:36,083 --> 00:23:41,213
The network that I gave 20 years
of my life plus is now locking me out.
400
00:23:41,296 --> 00:23:42,548
Throwing me to the wolves.
401
00:23:42,631 --> 00:23:44,591
They won't even
engage in a discussion with me?
402
00:23:44,675 --> 00:23:46,677
Listen, take it easy.
Don't get all worked up--
403
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,887
"Don't get all worked up"?
Are you kidding me?
404
00:23:48,971 --> 00:23:52,808
My life just ended for no good reason,
and I should stay calm?
405
00:23:53,976 --> 00:23:57,020
You know what? I didn't rape anybody!
406
00:23:59,147 --> 00:24:03,026
I didn't fire anybody. I didn't jizz
into a plant in front of somebody.
407
00:24:03,110 --> 00:24:06,405
You know what I did?
I fucked a couple of PA's and assistants.
408
00:24:06,488 --> 00:24:09,741
Big fuckin' deal. They liked it.
I mean, who are we kidding?
409
00:24:10,325 --> 00:24:13,745
Everything's changed,
but they forgot to send me the memo.
410
00:24:13,829 --> 00:24:17,124
Since the dawn of time, men have used
their power to attract women.
411
00:24:17,207 --> 00:24:20,627
And now let's bust Mitch Kessler's head
over it.
412
00:24:20,711 --> 00:24:22,212
Mitch, let me make you a drink.
413
00:24:22,296 --> 00:24:25,215
I didn't hold a gun to anybody's head.
It was consensual.
414
00:24:26,175 --> 00:24:27,759
Most of them came on to me.
415
00:24:27,843 --> 00:24:31,597
One of them actually told me
that I taught her how to have good sex!
416
00:24:32,055 --> 00:24:37,936
And now, that stupid, comedy weather fuck
is in my seat. No fucking way!
417
00:24:38,020 --> 00:24:42,441
Come on. Fuck you! Fuck you!
418
00:24:43,317 --> 00:24:44,318
God.
419
00:24:44,943 --> 00:24:47,112
You little motherfucker!
420
00:24:47,196 --> 00:24:48,614
God damn it!
421
00:24:49,865 --> 00:24:54,411
[grunting, screaming]
422
00:24:55,245 --> 00:24:56,246
[grunting]
423
00:24:58,123 --> 00:24:59,625
[grunts]
424
00:24:59,708 --> 00:25:02,211
-[clatters on floor]
-[panting]
425
00:25:04,338 --> 00:25:05,631
Okay.
426
00:25:07,716 --> 00:25:10,969
We're gonna fight this.
[panting]
427
00:25:11,053 --> 00:25:13,597
We're gonna come up with a plan,
and we're gonna fight this. [sighs]
428
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,017
-[footsteps approaching]
-Okay. Okay.
429
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:19,019
[clears throat]
430
00:25:20,145 --> 00:25:23,815
I'm picking up the kids from school
and taking them to the Hamptons.
431
00:25:25,192 --> 00:25:26,610
I'm divorcing you.
432
00:25:28,111 --> 00:25:31,949
I haven't liked you for a while anyway.
433
00:25:32,783 --> 00:25:34,159
Goodbye.
434
00:25:34,243 --> 00:25:35,869
Come on, Paige.
435
00:25:37,454 --> 00:25:40,123
[sighs] Fuck!
436
00:25:42,167 --> 00:25:43,502
[knocking]
437
00:25:44,670 --> 00:25:46,380
-Who is it?
-[Chip] It's me.
438
00:26:02,354 --> 00:26:05,232
You did great. Yanko was a lot of work.
It was a bad call from Cory.
439
00:26:05,315 --> 00:26:06,316
You think?
440
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,195
We better have our shit together when
the network jerk-offs get here today.
441
00:26:11,405 --> 00:26:14,616
And I don't want that new guy
from the entertainment division
442
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:17,077
making the call about
who sits in that chair next to me.
443
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,997
Because I have to carry their ass!
444
00:26:21,415 --> 00:26:23,292
The guy's a fucking moron.
445
00:26:23,959 --> 00:26:26,920
They should never have made him
the head of the news division.
446
00:26:27,546 --> 00:26:31,508
[sighs] And I wanna know every idea
of who they're going after for that chair.
447
00:26:31,592 --> 00:26:33,635
We're precarious enough in the ratings.
448
00:26:33,719 --> 00:26:34,720
Okay. I understand.
449
00:26:34,803 --> 00:26:36,889
Well, you better,
'cause this is all your fault.
450
00:26:36,972 --> 00:26:40,100
You are the EP.
The show is slipping on your watch.
451
00:26:40,184 --> 00:26:41,727
And now that shit.
452
00:26:43,020 --> 00:26:44,688
You know I don't control everything, Alex.
453
00:26:44,771 --> 00:26:47,482
Well, you're supposed to. That's your job.
454
00:26:56,950 --> 00:26:58,452
[reporters shouting]
455
00:27:03,707 --> 00:27:06,418
All right, hot soup coming through.
Hot soup coming through.
456
00:27:06,502 --> 00:27:08,086
[all shouting]
457
00:27:08,712 --> 00:27:10,297
I just wanna say this.
458
00:27:11,465 --> 00:27:14,426
As long as I am the president
of the UBA news division,
459
00:27:14,510 --> 00:27:18,347
behavior such as that exhibited
by Mitch Kessler will not be tolerated.
460
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,390
Out of respect
for those who have suffered,
461
00:27:20,474 --> 00:27:22,476
I'll be making no further comment
at this time.
462
00:27:23,018 --> 00:27:26,271
Let's get PR back on the phone. I need
to know how our response is landing.
463
00:27:26,355 --> 00:27:30,275
I need writers and producers,
just all senior staff in my office
464
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,569
with ideas for how the fuck we're gonna
get through these next two days.
465
00:27:32,653 --> 00:27:33,654
The bosses are saying--
466
00:27:33,737 --> 00:27:35,322
Jesus, Joel. Pick a side.
467
00:27:35,405 --> 00:27:36,406
I'm on your side.
468
00:27:36,490 --> 00:27:37,991
Of the fucking hallway. Jesus.
469
00:27:38,075 --> 00:27:41,578
Okay. They're saying they want this week
to land somewhere between repudiation
470
00:27:41,662 --> 00:27:44,373
and navel-gazing, whatever the fuck that
means. I have no idea what they're--
471
00:27:44,456 --> 00:27:45,999
I'll be back A.S.A.P.
Can you survive without me?
472
00:27:46,083 --> 00:27:47,334
Yes. Text me as soon as you know.
473
00:27:47,417 --> 00:27:49,253
-Where was I?
-Repudiation and navel-gazing.
474
00:27:49,336 --> 00:27:51,922
Data and Research. What the fuck?
Why aren't they calling us back? Okay.
475
00:27:52,005 --> 00:27:53,632
We need that huddle. We need it right now.
476
00:27:53,715 --> 00:27:57,135
And lastly, just get the entire
talent team up here, okay?
477
00:27:57,219 --> 00:28:00,264
We need to start preparing our long-term
strategy. You're getting all this, right?
478
00:28:00,347 --> 00:28:02,432
Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't listening.
479
00:28:02,516 --> 00:28:05,102
Oh, you know what?
That is not funny. Fuck you and f--
480
00:28:06,061 --> 00:28:08,772
Cory. Uh, hey.
481
00:28:08,856 --> 00:28:10,607
Is, uh, now a good time?
482
00:28:10,691 --> 00:28:14,069
I wasn't expecting you till-- Yes. Yeah.
483
00:28:14,152 --> 00:28:16,530
Well, you know.
When the Exxon Valdez hits the reef
484
00:28:16,613 --> 00:28:19,157
and spills ten million gallons
of your oil into the water,
485
00:28:19,241 --> 00:28:21,618
you kinda drop whatever you're doing
and fly to Alaska.
486
00:28:21,702 --> 00:28:22,953
Of course you do. Yeah.
487
00:28:23,036 --> 00:28:25,247
And if I might exhaust the metaphor,
488
00:28:25,330 --> 00:28:28,083
you don't leave until you make sure
489
00:28:28,166 --> 00:28:32,462
that every last salmon
and sea otter is scraped clean.
490
00:28:32,546 --> 00:28:37,176
So, we're gonna clean
some fuckin' sea otters, Chip, right?
491
00:28:37,259 --> 00:28:40,721
And we're not gonna like it,
and neither are the otters.
492
00:28:40,804 --> 00:28:44,224
But I'm gonna be with you,
side by side, until we get it all done.
493
00:28:44,308 --> 00:28:47,477
No matter how long
or how much soap it takes.
494
00:28:49,229 --> 00:28:52,232
-Well, I'm excited.
-[chuckles] Makes two of us. Let's go.
495
00:28:52,316 --> 00:28:54,234
Miles to go before we sleep.
496
00:28:54,318 --> 00:28:56,945
I've already called marketing,
and they're on their way down right now.
497
00:28:59,990 --> 00:29:03,035
[woman] We know you already discussed this
with the network PR team,
498
00:29:03,118 --> 00:29:05,621
but they're worried about the network.
499
00:29:05,704 --> 00:29:07,164
-[Alex sighs]
-We wanna focus on you.
500
00:29:07,247 --> 00:29:11,418
How will America see Alex Levy
deal with the fall of Mitch Kessler?
501
00:29:11,502 --> 00:29:12,503
Oh, God.
502
00:29:12,586 --> 00:29:16,173
People are gonna wanna know
what you did or did not know.
503
00:29:16,798 --> 00:29:20,385
Okay, we're gonna work on
your follow-up statement in a minute.
504
00:29:20,469 --> 00:29:23,722
Your first one was
a little too sympathetic towards Mitch.
505
00:29:23,805 --> 00:29:25,557
-I'm so--
-I know you were close,
506
00:29:25,641 --> 00:29:27,017
-but you need to be careful.
-Excuse me.
507
00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:28,101
Excuse me.
508
00:29:28,185 --> 00:29:32,856
All I said was that I will miss the person
that I sat side by side with.
509
00:29:32,940 --> 00:29:34,942
That's just the truth.
510
00:29:35,025 --> 00:29:39,071
I expressed sympathy for the women,
abhorrence for the predatory behavior.
511
00:29:39,154 --> 00:29:42,282
I am a journalist.
You don't have to spoon-feed me this shit.
512
00:29:42,366 --> 00:29:46,119
This isn't just about protection.
It's about opportunity. You know that.
513
00:29:46,912 --> 00:29:47,913
Yes, I know that.
514
00:29:47,996 --> 00:29:51,375
We're in the middle of a tough
renegotiation. This can be good for us.
515
00:29:51,458 --> 00:29:54,211
I know, I know. I know that, okay. Okay.
516
00:29:54,294 --> 00:29:56,964
So, we're gonna hand out
the decks we made,
517
00:29:57,047 --> 00:29:59,341
and we will walk through
the five-tier response
518
00:29:59,424 --> 00:30:01,301
we are going to accomplish
over the next few days.
519
00:30:01,385 --> 00:30:04,263
In particular at the big event
in two nights.
520
00:30:04,346 --> 00:30:06,306
This is the worst timing ever.
521
00:30:06,390 --> 00:30:07,391
Alex.
522
00:30:10,519 --> 00:30:11,520
Please excuse me.
523
00:30:12,354 --> 00:30:14,022
-[chattering]
-[Alex sighs]
524
00:30:15,482 --> 00:30:16,817
Oh.
525
00:30:16,900 --> 00:30:17,901
Hi.
526
00:30:19,236 --> 00:30:20,237
Oh.
527
00:30:20,654 --> 00:30:22,865
I'm so happy to see this face.
528
00:30:22,948 --> 00:30:26,285
Oh, my God. What an awesome surprise.
Hi, honey.
529
00:30:27,661 --> 00:30:30,122
Oh, you didn't have to leave school
to come and see me.
530
00:30:30,205 --> 00:30:35,127
Oh, actually, my class came into town
for the day to see a play.
531
00:30:36,211 --> 00:30:37,504
Oh, that's okay.
532
00:30:37,588 --> 00:30:39,798
But, Mom, I'm so sorry.
533
00:30:41,633 --> 00:30:44,887
I can't believe it. I mean,
maybe I just don't want to, but, like...
534
00:30:44,970 --> 00:30:47,181
-I know.
-I've known him since I was conscious.
535
00:30:47,264 --> 00:30:49,183
I know. It's awful...
536
00:30:49,266 --> 00:30:50,726
-Yeah.
-...and I'm so sorry.
537
00:30:53,437 --> 00:30:57,524
Oh, God. Honey, can't you skip the play
and just stay home with me
538
00:30:57,608 --> 00:31:01,862
and we can cuddle and we can make snacks
and watch The British Cooking Show?
539
00:31:01,945 --> 00:31:05,157
Oh, just...
anything to make me feel happy.
540
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,283
[man] Hey.
541
00:31:06,700 --> 00:31:08,076
-Oh, hi.
-Hey.
542
00:31:08,619 --> 00:31:11,038
-Hi, Dad.
-Hey, honey. How are you?
543
00:31:15,459 --> 00:31:18,962
This big news, I'm... I'm really sorry.
544
00:31:20,672 --> 00:31:23,675
I was texting you all day.
545
00:31:24,301 --> 00:31:28,889
I know. I'm sorry.
It's just the worst day of my entire life.
546
00:31:29,765 --> 00:31:34,102
So exhausted,
and I still have these people in there.
547
00:31:34,186 --> 00:31:38,482
Al, Al. Why don't I just... I can stay.
I could--
548
00:31:38,565 --> 00:31:41,735
I mean, I was gonna take Lizzy and her
friends for dinner before the show, but...
549
00:31:41,818 --> 00:31:45,656
No. No, no, no. You guys go.
I mean, I'm here all night,
550
00:31:45,739 --> 00:31:47,574
and then I have to go to bed,
551
00:31:48,492 --> 00:31:52,788
get up at 3:30 again and again.
552
00:31:53,330 --> 00:31:57,084
It's good. Go, live your lives.
Looks good, you know?
553
00:31:57,167 --> 00:32:00,003
Okay. But text me before you go to bed.
554
00:32:00,087 --> 00:32:03,298
-I will.
-And I'll be back on Friday for the event.
555
00:32:03,382 --> 00:32:04,383
Yes. Ugh!
556
00:32:04,466 --> 00:32:06,677
Yeah? It's all right.
We're gonna get through it.
557
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:07,970
-Yes.
-I love you.
558
00:32:08,053 --> 00:32:09,221
[Alex] I love you so much.
559
00:32:10,597 --> 00:32:12,266
-Good night.
-Good night. Have fun.
560
00:32:12,349 --> 00:32:13,350
Good night.
561
00:32:14,351 --> 00:32:15,352
[sighs]
562
00:32:16,895 --> 00:32:19,064
-Hey.
-Yeah. No, I can't.
563
00:32:20,274 --> 00:32:21,275
Okay.
564
00:32:21,775 --> 00:32:23,318
Go, Jase.
565
00:32:24,528 --> 00:32:25,529
Bye, Al.
566
00:32:25,612 --> 00:32:26,613
Thanks.
567
00:32:29,199 --> 00:32:30,409
[exhales]
568
00:32:31,368 --> 00:32:33,078
[grunts, sniffles]
569
00:32:42,421 --> 00:32:43,463
[sobs]
570
00:32:52,848 --> 00:32:55,559
[country music playing]
571
00:33:08,197 --> 00:33:10,866
[music continues]
572
00:33:10,949 --> 00:33:13,702
Hey, honey. What a nice surprise.
Just in time for dinner.
573
00:33:13,785 --> 00:33:14,995
-[switch clicks]
-[music stops]
574
00:33:22,002 --> 00:33:25,797
Mom, Hal is an addict.
He is bipolar, and he's an addict.
575
00:33:25,881 --> 00:33:28,926
Jesus, Bradley.
Have to be so dramatic about everything?
576
00:33:29,009 --> 00:33:32,346
Just come sit down. We're having dinner.
Hal, turn the music back on.
577
00:33:32,429 --> 00:33:33,472
Hal.
578
00:33:34,515 --> 00:33:35,933
You gotta listen to me this time, Mom.
579
00:33:36,016 --> 00:33:38,977
Are you just upset about that viral video
of you yelling at that boy?
580
00:33:39,061 --> 00:33:41,855
I don't care about the video.
And he wasn't a boy.
581
00:33:41,939 --> 00:33:45,526
Do not derail the conversation.
Hal is an addict, and he needs help.
582
00:33:45,609 --> 00:33:48,237
He's not an addict.
He just went through a rough spot.
583
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:49,488
Mom, he is an addict.
584
00:33:49,571 --> 00:33:52,199
Hey, look, I'm-- I am an addict, Mom.
585
00:33:52,658 --> 00:33:54,451
-I liked your video.
-Thank you.
586
00:33:54,535 --> 00:33:55,661
But he's better now.
587
00:33:56,203 --> 00:33:57,996
He wasn't even there for two weeks.
588
00:33:58,288 --> 00:34:00,374
You just had him come home
'cause you didn't wanna be alone.
589
00:34:00,457 --> 00:34:02,543
-That is not true.
-It's a little true, Mom.
590
00:34:03,293 --> 00:34:05,921
Do you know the mountains I had to move
to get him into that place?
591
00:34:06,004 --> 00:34:07,589
Not to mention
the amount of money I spent.
592
00:34:07,673 --> 00:34:09,675
-Can we just please have a--
-Hey, Brad, Brad.
593
00:34:09,757 --> 00:34:10,967
I'm gonna pay you back.
594
00:34:11,051 --> 00:34:12,761
-I'll pay you back.
-I don't need you to pay me back.
595
00:34:12,844 --> 00:34:15,639
I need you to be better.
I need you to be safe.
596
00:34:15,722 --> 00:34:18,766
Do you have any idea
how many decisions I have made in my life
597
00:34:18,851 --> 00:34:21,395
-just because I had to take care of you?
-[mom] Bradley, stop it.
598
00:34:21,478 --> 00:34:23,605
How many relationships I've lost?
How many jobs I've lost?
599
00:34:23,688 --> 00:34:26,108
-I'm sorry--
-You are ruining dinner!
600
00:34:35,993 --> 00:34:37,286
[doorbell rings]
601
00:34:37,786 --> 00:34:39,246
Jesus.
602
00:34:40,539 --> 00:34:41,540
I'll get it.
603
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,085
Just... every time.
604
00:34:47,337 --> 00:34:50,966
-Yeah?
-Bradley Jackson. I've found you.
605
00:34:51,675 --> 00:34:52,801
What?
606
00:34:55,262 --> 00:34:56,263
Can I help you?
607
00:34:56,722 --> 00:35:00,225
Hannah Shoenfeld.
Head booker for The Morning Show.
608
00:35:01,518 --> 00:35:03,896
You know you have over a million views
on your video?
609
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:06,940
What can I do for you?
610
00:35:07,357 --> 00:35:11,069
We wanna interview you
about why the video is going viral.
611
00:35:11,403 --> 00:35:14,573
It's clearly touched a nerve.
We'd like to book you for tomorrow.
612
00:35:14,656 --> 00:35:17,951
I've got us on a plane 90 minutes
from now. We should get going.
613
00:35:18,035 --> 00:35:20,495
Wait. The Morning Show?
614
00:35:20,913 --> 00:35:25,626
The one with Alex Levy and Mitch Ke--
That show with Alex Levy?
615
00:35:25,709 --> 00:35:26,710
The Morning Show?
616
00:35:26,793 --> 00:35:27,920
Mm-hmm.
617
00:35:28,003 --> 00:35:30,005
Yeah. Alex will interview you.
618
00:35:30,797 --> 00:35:34,801
What?
Just because I lost my shit at a protest?
619
00:35:35,511 --> 00:35:38,138
Your words spoke to America.
620
00:35:38,222 --> 00:35:39,932
Oh, no. I don't--
621
00:35:40,015 --> 00:35:44,228
Bradley, some piece of you that is
really you came through in that video.
622
00:35:44,311 --> 00:35:46,271
People are noticing. They want more.
623
00:35:50,192 --> 00:35:52,653
How the hell did you find me
out here at my mom's house?
624
00:35:53,904 --> 00:35:57,074
We're The Morning Show.
We can do anything.
625
00:35:58,450 --> 00:35:59,618
[man] I do everything right.
626
00:35:59,701 --> 00:36:01,828
Everything they've asked me to do
in the last three years.
627
00:36:01,912 --> 00:36:03,497
They just don't know what to do with me.
628
00:36:03,914 --> 00:36:07,835
And they're making us see this popcorn
shit? Fucking Gilmore Girls, The Musical?
629
00:36:07,918 --> 00:36:10,504
-Is the world so bereft of new ideas--
-Don't act like you didn't know
630
00:36:10,587 --> 00:36:12,297
what The Twist was gonna be.
I was in that meeting too.
631
00:36:12,381 --> 00:36:14,091
-You didn't have a gun to your head.
-Why did I get a Master's in Journalism?
632
00:36:14,174 --> 00:36:16,593
What's the point of having a PhD
in Political Science?
633
00:36:16,677 --> 00:36:18,345
Is this what Gabe
comes home to every night?
634
00:36:18,428 --> 00:36:20,639
Why did they hire me if they're
not gonna give me a shot at the chair?
635
00:36:20,722 --> 00:36:23,183
-Jesus. My feed is wall-to-wall Mitch.
-God forbid there's a serious black anchor
636
00:36:23,267 --> 00:36:27,229
on The Morning Show. Not for the
Norman Rockwell family of morning news.
637
00:36:27,312 --> 00:36:28,939
Tokenism at its finest.
638
00:36:29,022 --> 00:36:30,315
You are closer now to the job
639
00:36:30,399 --> 00:36:32,025
-than you were 24 hours ago.
-They're making me jump through hoops
640
00:36:32,109 --> 00:36:35,529
watching the fucking Gilmore Girls sing
about how tough upper-middle class life
641
00:36:35,612 --> 00:36:38,532
in Connecticut is while a bunch
of idiot white dudes eat expensive food
642
00:36:38,615 --> 00:36:40,576
on the network's dime
to discuss how to overlook me.
643
00:36:40,659 --> 00:36:41,660
Yeah.
644
00:36:44,288 --> 00:36:46,498
And what the hell kinda name
is Lorelai anyway?
645
00:36:52,045 --> 00:36:54,590
So this is sort of
getting you up to speed.
646
00:36:54,673 --> 00:36:57,176
Now, obviously, the hunt for a replacement
647
00:36:57,259 --> 00:37:00,721
for Alex is on the back burner,
given the circumstances.
648
00:37:00,804 --> 00:37:02,472
Other fish to imminently fry.
649
00:37:02,556 --> 00:37:05,851
Exactly. But I wanted you to have
the lay of the land here
650
00:37:05,934 --> 00:37:07,895
-just so you know where we're at.
-Thank you.
651
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,024
Who knows, maybe this whole thing
will revitalize Alex.
652
00:37:12,107 --> 00:37:16,820
-I mean, today... pretty fucking great.
-Yeah.
653
00:37:16,904 --> 00:37:20,574
When she does that, you know, she,
like, reaches her arm down that camera
654
00:37:20,657 --> 00:37:24,411
and, like, connects with America,
and that's when she's brilliant.
655
00:37:24,494 --> 00:37:29,875
Agreed. It's just that she's been
"brilliant-light" the last five years.
656
00:37:29,958 --> 00:37:33,086
And it's shown in the ratings.
And I don't know, man.
657
00:37:33,170 --> 00:37:35,297
Maybe she's bored
or complacent with success.
658
00:37:35,380 --> 00:37:38,800
Who cares, really. And now, two of them.
659
00:37:38,884 --> 00:37:41,970
We get to find the new marriage
for America to fall in love with.
660
00:37:42,054 --> 00:37:44,765
-It's kind of exciting.
-Glad you're excited.
661
00:37:44,848 --> 00:37:46,433
We have to get well ahead of YDA.
662
00:37:46,517 --> 00:37:48,393
We can't stand a blow
to the news division.
663
00:37:48,477 --> 00:37:52,314
Broadcast networks can't stand a blow
to anything right now. [chuckles]
664
00:37:52,397 --> 00:37:54,024
-Yeah.
-It's kinda funny
665
00:37:54,107 --> 00:37:56,860
how the entire world of broadcast
666
00:37:56,944 --> 00:38:01,365
could just fall off a cliff
in a few years.
667
00:38:01,448 --> 00:38:04,660
Like, boom. Bang. Lights out.
668
00:38:05,702 --> 00:38:07,079
Unless we reinvent it.
669
00:38:08,205 --> 00:38:11,875
We're all gonna get bought out by tech
unless something changes.
670
00:38:11,959 --> 00:38:12,960
I don't know.
671
00:38:13,043 --> 00:38:14,962
Tech or not,
672
00:38:15,045 --> 00:38:19,883
there will always be a need
for reliable, quality journalism.
673
00:38:23,387 --> 00:38:27,808
People get their horrible news
delivered to the palm of their hand 24/7,
674
00:38:27,891 --> 00:38:31,061
and they get it the way that they like it,
colored the way they want it.
675
00:38:31,144 --> 00:38:33,105
And news is awful,
676
00:38:33,188 --> 00:38:38,277
but humanity is addicted to it,
and the whole world is depressed by it.
677
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,446
That's why what we really need
on television right now,
678
00:38:41,530 --> 00:38:45,868
it's not news or fucking journalism.
679
00:38:45,951 --> 00:38:48,996
It's entertainment.
This is just like during the Depression,
680
00:38:49,079 --> 00:38:51,373
when people wanted to watch
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dance
681
00:38:51,456 --> 00:38:54,209
on expensive sets
and live in a dream world.
682
00:38:54,293 --> 00:38:56,378
Dream worlds are essential.
683
00:38:56,461 --> 00:38:59,673
Depressed people, they need escape,
you know?
684
00:38:59,756 --> 00:39:04,052
How long do you think the network
rode the sexual chemistry
685
00:39:04,136 --> 00:39:06,054
between Alex and Mitch?
686
00:39:06,138 --> 00:39:08,348
I mean, sure, people wanted them
to be Mom and Dad,
687
00:39:08,432 --> 00:39:10,267
but people also like to be titillated,
688
00:39:10,350 --> 00:39:15,147
and there is some unspoken sexual fantasy
to cohosts, right?
689
00:39:15,230 --> 00:39:16,565
I get it. I get it.
690
00:39:16,648 --> 00:39:18,609
Alex is like Mitch's widow now.
691
00:39:21,153 --> 00:39:24,281
She can't provide that, and I know
you love her and she is your gal,
692
00:39:24,364 --> 00:39:27,910
but, you know,
nobody wants to watch a widow get fucked.
693
00:39:28,410 --> 00:39:30,662
[laughs] Yeah. Um...
694
00:39:33,373 --> 00:39:35,000
Yeah, it's a cold world.
695
00:39:35,375 --> 00:39:37,920
-Well, it's just the world it is.
-Mm.
696
00:39:41,715 --> 00:39:42,758
[clicks tongue]
697
00:39:42,841 --> 00:39:44,092
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
698
00:39:45,511 --> 00:39:46,512
Good.
699
00:39:52,518 --> 00:39:53,769
Okay.
700
00:39:55,354 --> 00:39:56,438
Thanks.
701
00:39:57,523 --> 00:39:59,024
Oh, my God.
702
00:40:09,117 --> 00:40:11,537
[male anchor]
Kessler and his partner, Alex Levy,
703
00:40:11,620 --> 00:40:14,331
had cohosted the show for 15 years.
704
00:40:14,414 --> 00:40:16,375
The two were such a celebrated institution
705
00:40:16,458 --> 00:40:19,211
that journalists nationwide
are left clueless
706
00:40:19,294 --> 00:40:22,047
as to who could replace the dad
of morning TV.
707
00:40:43,193 --> 00:40:45,237
[sighs]
708
00:40:46,530 --> 00:40:50,325
["Young at Heart" playing]
709
00:41:16,727 --> 00:41:18,187
Fuck you, New York.
710
00:41:21,023 --> 00:41:22,024
[sighs]
711
00:41:26,361 --> 00:41:27,487
Come on.
712

714
00:41:51,887 --> 00:41:53,138
Ohh.
715

[no audible dialogue]
716
00:41:58,852 --> 00:41:59,853
[sighs]
717
00:42:01,563 --> 00:42:03,232
Can you please bring the car around?
718
00:42:03,315 --> 00:42:04,316
[man] Yes, ma'am.
719
00:42:04,733 --> 00:42:07,194
I'm gonna go in early.
720
00:42:21,416 --> 00:42:23,710

730

Oh, God.
731
00:44:32,589 --> 00:44:36,051
[sniffles] Oh. [panting]
732
00:45:11,086 --> 00:45:12,629
[woman]
So, it's great to have you here.
733
00:45:12,713 --> 00:45:15,174
Oh, and, by the way, I'm Mia Jordan,
I'm gonna be your segment producer.
734
00:45:15,257 --> 00:45:16,592
Bradley. Nice to meet you.
735
00:45:17,009 --> 00:45:18,677
Oh, you want a-- You hungry? Did you eat?
736
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,681
No. I'm okay. I look forward to you
whispering in my ear to stop fucking up.
737
00:45:22,764 --> 00:45:25,517
[laughs]
738
00:45:25,601 --> 00:45:27,102
You're a pro. I have no worries.
739
00:45:27,769 --> 00:45:31,315
Uh, by the way, have you been
to The Morning Show studio before?
740
00:45:31,398 --> 00:45:33,734
No, but I've been in the business
about 15 years, so...
741
00:45:33,817 --> 00:45:35,736
-Oh, wow.
-It's kinda familiar.
742
00:45:36,570 --> 00:45:39,740
-Anna, this is Bradley. Bradley, Anna.
-Hi there. Nice to meet you.
743
00:45:40,949 --> 00:45:42,868
You know,
all studios are pretty much the same.
744
00:45:42,951 --> 00:45:48,498
Huge adrenaline, incredible intelligence,
desperate ambition, huge egos.
745
00:45:48,582 --> 00:45:50,542
[Bradley] ...round and around,
'cause all they wanna do is hear...
746
00:45:50,626 --> 00:45:53,921
Guys, please, stop it.
Give me a second, please, guys.
747
00:45:54,004 --> 00:45:55,255
I just wanna watch this.
748
00:45:55,881 --> 00:46:01,011
And there's a human cost!
And it's exhausting! I'm exhausted!
749
00:46:01,094 --> 00:46:06,350
Yeah. Uh, there is no way that
she did not know she was being filmed.
750
00:46:06,433 --> 00:46:07,851
-It's really hard to say.
-Is it?
751
00:46:07,935 --> 00:46:10,187
It doesn't matter. That's not the story.
752
00:46:10,270 --> 00:46:13,273
Two million likes and counting.
That's the story.
753
00:46:13,357 --> 00:46:15,734
Real or not, it struck a nerve.
People wanna believe it's true.
754
00:46:15,817 --> 00:46:21,031
Yeah. Well, people are idiots. Am I right?
That's all we've been proving lately.
755
00:46:21,114 --> 00:46:23,408
Okay, Alex, I know this has all
been very hard for you.
756
00:46:23,492 --> 00:46:26,828
What is that supposed to mean?
What? Do I look tired?
757
00:46:27,287 --> 00:46:30,374
No. No. You look great.
I'm just saying you don't have to--
758
00:46:30,457 --> 00:46:32,459
-Do I look tired?
-No. Promise.
759
00:46:32,543 --> 00:46:34,795
No, you don't look tired.
Just get through today.
760
00:46:34,878 --> 00:46:38,674
Just do a pleasant little interview
that will make America happy, okay?
761
00:46:38,757 --> 00:46:41,009
I'm worried about you.
Just get through these next few days.
762
00:46:41,093 --> 00:46:42,261
[pats leg]
763
00:46:48,767 --> 00:46:50,477
Can I have my celery juice, please?
764
00:46:51,228 --> 00:46:52,437
Of course.
765
00:46:58,235 --> 00:46:59,653
-[door opens]
-[sighs]
766
00:46:59,736 --> 00:47:01,321
[door closes]
767
00:47:01,405 --> 00:47:03,907
Oh! God, it pisses me off.
768
00:47:05,158 --> 00:47:07,119
Oh, fuck.
769
00:47:07,995 --> 00:47:09,037
[screams]
770
00:47:10,581 --> 00:47:11,665
Okay.
771
00:47:12,374 --> 00:47:13,417
Oh.
772
00:47:13,500 --> 00:47:16,378
I didn't buy a word of it.
Not one word of it.
773
00:47:20,215 --> 00:47:21,925
[sighs]
774
00:47:24,428 --> 00:47:25,804
[exhales]
775
00:47:30,017 --> 00:47:31,018
Okay.
776
00:47:37,733 --> 00:47:38,859
Oh.
777
00:47:39,776 --> 00:47:41,862
[chattering]
778
00:47:43,864 --> 00:47:45,908
-Ready?
-Yeah. I'm ready.
779
00:47:46,366 --> 00:47:47,910
Okay. Great.
780
00:47:52,581 --> 00:47:54,416
We're gonna have you sit right here.
781
00:47:55,125 --> 00:47:56,543
Okay. Thanks.
782
00:47:56,627 --> 00:47:58,086
[woman] Back in 30, everybody.
783
00:47:58,170 --> 00:47:59,213
Okay.
784
00:48:00,839 --> 00:48:03,634
-Hey.
-Hi.
785
00:48:05,385 --> 00:48:07,095
-I'm so sorry.
-[woman] Back in 20.
786
00:48:07,179 --> 00:48:08,222
What about?
787
00:48:08,722 --> 00:48:12,142
Just yesterday.
That must have been so difficult for you.
788
00:48:12,976 --> 00:48:15,270
-'Cause you worked together for so long.
-I'm fine.
789
00:48:16,980 --> 00:48:18,190
[woman] Okay.
790
00:48:19,399 --> 00:48:22,861
-In five, four, three...
-Over here?
791
00:48:22,945 --> 00:48:25,113
[director] Start your move. Cue her.
792
00:48:26,573 --> 00:48:28,659
An unusual thing happened yesterday
793
00:48:28,742 --> 00:48:31,912
at a coal mine protest
in Hanover, West Virginia,
794
00:48:31,995 --> 00:48:37,000
when a local reporter's camera operator
was knocked over by an unruly protester.
795
00:48:37,417 --> 00:48:38,710
Let's watch.
796
00:48:38,794 --> 00:48:42,756
Thousands of families knocked on their
asses. It's a big wheel that goes around.
797
00:48:43,173 --> 00:48:46,343
Liberals add sanctions.
Conservatives remove those sanctions.
798
00:48:46,426 --> 00:48:50,055
And they just keep fighting. And they just
keep going around and around and around.
799
00:48:50,138 --> 00:48:52,099
'Cause all they wanna do
is hear themselves talk.
800
00:48:52,182 --> 00:48:54,268
And they all want to be right.
And they all wanna win.
801
00:48:54,351 --> 00:48:57,896
And that's all they **** care about.
And there's a human cost!
802
00:48:57,980 --> 00:49:01,233
And it's exhausting! I'm exhausted!
803
00:49:01,316 --> 00:49:02,985
[man] Jesus. Okay, okay, okay.
804
00:49:03,068 --> 00:49:04,069
[chuckles]
805
00:49:05,863 --> 00:49:09,283
I am here with Bradley Jackson
from SENN in Virginia.
806
00:49:09,366 --> 00:49:11,076
Hello, Bradley Jackson. Welcome.
807
00:49:11,159 --> 00:49:13,620
Hi. Thank you so much for having me.
808
00:49:13,704 --> 00:49:15,706
You seem a lot more relaxed today.
809
00:49:15,789 --> 00:49:19,710
Yeah, well, this is a whole lot nicer than
a coal mine protest. I'm not gonna lie.
810
00:49:19,793 --> 00:49:24,506
Well, so, what did happen that day?
Why exactly were you so exhausted?
811
00:49:25,132 --> 00:49:29,553
Well, you know, life in general
is just sort of exhausting.
812
00:49:29,636 --> 00:49:30,637
Mm.
813
00:49:31,180 --> 00:49:32,598
Um...
814
00:49:32,681 --> 00:49:38,562
but, as you know, we reporters,
we see the way the world works,
815
00:49:38,645 --> 00:49:42,399
and sometimes you just want
to get in there and educate people
816
00:49:42,900 --> 00:49:46,111
and stop them from constantly
going in circles with their ideas.
817
00:49:46,195 --> 00:49:49,072
I mean, it's just so frustrating.
It's sad.
818
00:49:49,865 --> 00:49:52,075
So true. So true.
819
00:49:52,159 --> 00:49:58,498
As reporters, we are trained to never let
our personal emotions enter the story.
820
00:49:58,582 --> 00:50:01,376
What happened yesterday
that made you cross that line?
821
00:50:02,461 --> 00:50:04,838
Well, I wasn't even aware
that I was being filmed.
822
00:50:04,922 --> 00:50:08,300
I was setting up for my story, and
my cameraman was knocked down by someone,
823
00:50:08,383 --> 00:50:10,761
and something about seeing him
struggling on the ground
824
00:50:10,844 --> 00:50:14,765
made me want to address
the person responsible, so I did.
825
00:50:15,265 --> 00:50:16,850
Mm.
826
00:50:16,934 --> 00:50:20,229
You know a peculiar amount about coal.
827
00:50:20,771 --> 00:50:22,022
Alex, be nice.
828
00:50:22,314 --> 00:50:25,901
Well, yes, I do. I do.
829
00:50:25,984 --> 00:50:28,570
I've actually covered
a lot of coal mine protests,
830
00:50:28,654 --> 00:50:31,573
and I think it's important to know
as much about the subject as possible,
831
00:50:31,657 --> 00:50:34,201
especially when people are literally
fighting each other over it.
832
00:50:34,284 --> 00:50:37,955
Yes, well, America has clearly
connected to that message.
833
00:50:38,497 --> 00:50:39,873
Why do you think that is?
834
00:50:40,499 --> 00:50:43,418
You know, I think America is tired
of Twitter fighting.
835
00:50:43,502 --> 00:50:46,839
It's ignorant, and it's contributing
to the dumbing down of our country.
836
00:50:47,256 --> 00:50:51,552
Parties have created a good side
and a bad side for their own purposes.
837
00:50:51,969 --> 00:50:56,473
And once you villainize someone, there is
nothing left but go to war with them.
838
00:50:57,474 --> 00:51:01,478
I know that you work
at a conservative news outlet.
839
00:51:02,145 --> 00:51:05,232
What side of that argument
do you personally fall on?
840
00:51:06,483 --> 00:51:08,652
Um, the human side.
841
00:51:10,195 --> 00:51:11,655
What does that mean?
842
00:51:12,489 --> 00:51:14,324
It means I see both sides.
843
00:51:15,075 --> 00:51:18,120
But in leadership,
decisions have to be made.
844
00:51:18,203 --> 00:51:21,665
You can't just have empathy for everybody
and do nothing.
845
00:51:21,957 --> 00:51:22,958
[director] Take it two.
846
00:51:25,586 --> 00:51:27,921
Well, say you're president.
What do you do?
847
00:51:29,173 --> 00:51:31,425
-Well...
-Open or close the coal mine?
848
00:51:31,508 --> 00:51:33,927
I'm just here to deliver the news
to America.
849
00:51:34,011 --> 00:51:36,346
That's all I ever wanted to do.
850
00:51:36,889 --> 00:51:38,765
So you're a die-hard reporter.
851
00:51:39,641 --> 00:51:43,687
I like to think that I am, yes.
The truth matters to me.
852
00:51:44,271 --> 00:51:48,567
What would you say to the idea
that it's a reporter's sacred creed
853
00:51:48,650 --> 00:51:51,445
to never let the story become about them?
854
00:51:51,862 --> 00:51:54,448
Jesus. Alex. What are you doing? Stop it.
855
00:51:55,282 --> 00:51:57,367
I would say I agree with that.
856
00:51:58,911 --> 00:52:00,954
And yet this has become about you.
857
00:52:02,748 --> 00:52:03,916
Ah, shit.
858
00:52:04,875 --> 00:52:07,544
As I said before,
I didn't know I was being filmed.
859
00:52:07,628 --> 00:52:09,963
This wasn't part of my live coverage.
860
00:52:10,047 --> 00:52:12,132
Well, there could be some cynical people
861
00:52:12,216 --> 00:52:15,302
who might think
that that was completely set up.
862
00:52:16,261 --> 00:52:17,471
To what end?
863
00:52:18,597 --> 00:52:19,890
You're here.
864
00:52:30,609 --> 00:52:35,280
Well, there are some non-cynical people,
which I believe is most people,
865
00:52:35,948 --> 00:52:37,824
that believe the news is changing.
866
00:52:38,450 --> 00:52:41,662
And the news is changing because
the people who deliver the news,
867
00:52:41,745 --> 00:52:46,667
who showed themselves
as honest and decent and trustworthy,
868
00:52:47,167 --> 00:52:51,505
have in quite a few cases now
proved themselves to be untruthful.
869
00:52:52,422 --> 00:52:56,385
And as a result, I think people are
wanting more transparency in journalism.
870
00:52:56,802 --> 00:52:59,680
I think they want to know the person
behind the facade.
871
00:53:00,138 --> 00:53:05,227
I think they want to trust that the person
telling them the truth about the world
872
00:53:05,727 --> 00:53:07,312
is an honest person.
873
00:53:12,985 --> 00:53:14,111
Like you.
874
00:53:16,071 --> 00:53:21,827
Yes. Well,
the truth is what we are all striving for.
875
00:53:21,910 --> 00:53:23,996
Yeah. It is.
876
00:53:24,830 --> 00:53:27,124
Thank you, Bradley Jackson,
for being with us today.
877
00:53:27,207 --> 00:53:29,334
-Thank you so much.
-Of course.
878
00:53:29,418 --> 00:53:33,213
We will be right back
with a surprise secret about vitamin D.
879
00:53:33,297 --> 00:53:35,424
-[woman] And we're out.
-[director] Stand by to break.
880
00:53:35,841 --> 00:53:37,968
[woman] We're clear. Back in two minutes.
881
00:53:38,051 --> 00:53:40,137
-[sighs]
-[Bradley chuckles]
882
00:53:41,763 --> 00:53:43,974
-You're good.
-Thank you.
883
00:53:44,057 --> 00:53:46,059
Good luck in Ham-Hock, Virginia.
884
00:53:48,145 --> 00:53:49,688
Oh, there. Thank you. Okay.
885
00:53:50,105 --> 00:53:51,231
-It was great.
-Yeah?
886
00:53:51,315 --> 00:53:52,316
-Yeah.
-Okay.
887
00:53:52,399 --> 00:53:54,860
-You were awesome.
-Thanks. All right. Thank you.
888
00:53:54,943 --> 00:53:56,069
[man] Nice work.
889
00:53:56,153 --> 00:53:57,196
Bye.
890
00:53:59,448 --> 00:54:02,159
Yeah? All right.
891
00:54:13,879 --> 00:54:16,757
[thunder rumbling]
892
00:54:41,031 --> 00:54:42,407
Fucking vultures.
893
00:54:46,495 --> 00:54:48,288
[sighs]
894
00:54:48,789 --> 00:54:50,582
[dog barking]
895
00:54:52,292 --> 00:54:53,293
[barks]
896
00:55:03,220 --> 00:55:05,180
[barking]
897
00:55:14,731 --> 00:55:15,816
[barking]
898
00:55:36,128 --> 00:55:38,255
-[thudding]
-Holy shit.
899
00:55:38,338 --> 00:55:40,048
[clanging]
900
00:55:40,132 --> 00:55:42,718
Whosever in here,
get out before I blow your head off.
901
00:55:42,801 --> 00:55:44,970
[Alex] Oh, fuck off, Mitch. It's me.
902
00:55:45,053 --> 00:55:47,055
-Oh.
-[dog whimpering]
903
00:55:47,139 --> 00:55:50,017
-[Alex] Shit. [sighs]
-[dog whimpers]
904
00:55:50,100 --> 00:55:51,143
Alex?
905
00:55:51,476 --> 00:55:53,770
I can't be seen by anybody,
so I had my car drop me in the woods
906
00:55:53,854 --> 00:55:55,063
behind your house.
907
00:55:56,356 --> 00:55:58,233
-You came to see me.
-No.
908
00:55:58,942 --> 00:56:02,321
I came to tell you
that I am so mad at you,
909
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,574
and I will never, ever get over it.
910
00:56:06,366 --> 00:56:07,492
You left me.
911
00:56:07,576 --> 00:56:10,120
Alone on the fucking Morning Show.
You left me alone.
912
00:56:10,204 --> 00:56:11,371
[Mitch sighs]
913
00:56:12,164 --> 00:56:13,498
Because you
had to fuck around on Paige
914
00:56:13,582 --> 00:56:16,627
because you didn't want to tarnish
your little image and just get a divorce.
915
00:56:16,710 --> 00:56:19,171
Hello, pot.
I'd like to introduce you to kettle.
916
00:56:19,254 --> 00:56:22,758
-How can you be mad at me about that?
-Are you kidding me? You're so stupid.
917
00:56:22,841 --> 00:56:25,677
-You think I'm mad at you because--
-Oh, Jesus, beat me up. Beat me up.
918
00:56:25,761 --> 00:56:28,597
You really think that
that's what I'm mad about? You idiot.
919
00:56:29,097 --> 00:56:34,061
I'm mad at you because you're selfish.
You're a self-indulgent asshole.
920
00:56:34,978 --> 00:56:37,523
And your philandering has fucked me.
921
00:56:37,606 --> 00:56:43,070
And I'm gonna lose everything, Mitch.
There's no guarantees. Zero.
922
00:56:44,738 --> 00:56:48,408
Our star was built on chemistry,
and you just blew it up.
923
00:56:48,992 --> 00:56:51,119
And why? Why did you do that?
924
00:56:51,203 --> 00:56:53,205
There had to have been a million
and one women out there
925
00:56:53,288 --> 00:56:54,873
who would've gladly sucked your dick
926
00:56:54,957 --> 00:56:56,542
who didn't work on The Morning Show.
927
00:56:56,625 --> 00:56:58,043
-It's not my fault.
-Oh, please.
928
00:56:58,126 --> 00:57:02,005
-They were consensual affairs, Alex.
-Mitch, you're such a fucking moron.
929
00:57:02,089 --> 00:57:04,007
I think that you're jealous
because of our history.
930
00:57:04,091 --> 00:57:07,886
-Your fucking ego. Oh, my God, Mitch.
-'Cause we had a thing.
931
00:57:07,970 --> 00:57:09,096
That fucking ego of yours.
932
00:57:09,179 --> 00:57:12,349
You really think that because
of the two times you got on top of me
933
00:57:12,432 --> 00:57:15,727
meant that much to me
that that's what I'm pissed about?
934
00:57:16,228 --> 00:57:20,732
You're so stupid. God. Oh.
935
00:57:26,572 --> 00:57:27,781
[sighs]
936
00:57:27,865 --> 00:57:30,242
[thunder rumbling]
937
00:57:32,369 --> 00:57:33,412
[sighs]
938
00:57:36,748 --> 00:57:38,917
You stole my life with this.
939
00:57:40,377 --> 00:57:44,006
You left me in the woods
with a... pack of wolves.
940
00:57:45,007 --> 00:57:50,804
I live a really strange existence, Mitch,
and it's isolated as shit.
941
00:57:52,139 --> 00:57:57,352
I gave up everything for this show.
Any chance of having a normal life.
942
00:57:59,354 --> 00:58:01,982
And you just put me
in a position of losing it.
943
00:58:04,693 --> 00:58:10,073
Everything. Of having nothing.
Of having no one.
944
00:58:15,537 --> 00:58:19,875
You're my partner.
Fifteen years my partner.
945
00:58:21,293 --> 00:58:25,672
And my only real companion,
who knew my life in such vivid detail.
946
00:58:27,216 --> 00:58:28,926
Because you're... It's your life too.
947
00:58:30,260 --> 00:58:31,553
I'm so sorry.
948
00:58:33,514 --> 00:58:35,474
We lived a life
that we're never gonna get back.
949
00:58:35,557 --> 00:58:37,184
And you're not my husband,
950
00:58:37,267 --> 00:58:40,229
and you're not my lover,
and you're not my family,
951
00:58:40,312 --> 00:58:41,897
and now you can't be my friend.
952
00:58:41,980 --> 00:58:43,023
Why can't I be?
953
00:58:43,106 --> 00:58:45,359
Because what you did was wrong!
954
00:58:45,442 --> 00:58:50,280
Alex, you knew these people.
You know that I didn't coerce anybody.
955
00:58:50,781 --> 00:58:52,115
This is Weinstein's fault.
956
00:58:52,199 --> 00:58:53,659
Please don't say that. It's so ignorant.
957
00:58:53,742 --> 00:58:56,995
Jesus, Alex.
I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't.
958
00:59:02,167 --> 00:59:03,710
What happened to your TV?
959
00:59:05,087 --> 00:59:06,547
We had a disagreement.
960
00:59:26,316 --> 00:59:28,277
I'm sorry you're such an asshole.
961
00:59:30,904 --> 00:59:31,947
Me too.
962
00:59:34,032 --> 00:59:36,577
I wouldn't use those two words together
if I were you.
963
00:59:37,536 --> 00:59:39,538
[chuckles]
964
00:59:44,501 --> 00:59:46,253
I have to go. I have to leave.
965
00:59:46,336 --> 00:59:48,255
No, don't. I don't want you to go.
966
00:59:49,131 --> 00:59:50,132
I have to go.
967
00:59:50,215 --> 00:59:53,302
-No, don't go. I want you to stay, please.
-I have to go. No.
968
00:59:53,385 --> 00:59:54,511
I don't wanna be alone.
969
00:59:54,595 --> 00:59:58,640
Just stay for a little while. Alex,
please, come on. This could blow over.
970
00:59:58,724 --> 01:00:01,602
-Oh, this is so never gonna blow over.
-Alex.
971
01:00:02,853 --> 01:00:04,855
Alex, they were going to replace you!
972
01:00:06,773 --> 01:00:08,692
-What?
-[sighs]
973
01:00:08,775 --> 01:00:13,697
[sighs] They came to me. They said YDA
was nipping at our heels in the ratings.
974
01:00:15,032 --> 01:00:16,658
And they wanted to make a change.
975
01:00:18,243 --> 01:00:19,578
I don't believe you.
976
01:00:21,121 --> 01:00:22,748
You're just trying to fuck with my head
977
01:00:23,749 --> 01:00:25,751
because you're destroyed
and you want me destroyed.
978
01:00:25,834 --> 01:00:28,378
-No, no. I wanna save you.
-Oh.
979
01:00:28,462 --> 01:00:30,214
-Alex, don't go.
-I don't believe you!
980
01:00:30,297 --> 01:00:33,091
Just stay! I've got a gun!
981
01:00:33,175 --> 01:00:35,177
Great! Have fun with that!
982
01:00:47,147 --> 01:00:48,774
[phone vibrating]
983
01:00:51,443 --> 01:00:52,861
Bradley Jackson here.
984
01:00:52,945 --> 01:00:56,448
This is Cory Ellison.
I'm the president of the UBA network.
985
01:00:56,865 --> 01:00:59,409
I saw you on The Morning Show.
986
01:00:59,910 --> 01:01:01,954
How would you like
to come meet me for a drink
987
01:01:02,037 --> 01:01:05,457
at the Archer Gray right now
and talk about your future?
988
01:01:07,167 --> 01:01:08,418
"My future"?
989
01:01:08,502 --> 01:01:11,380
[chuckles] What is this, my big break?
990
01:01:12,756 --> 01:01:15,133
Well, I suppose that's up to you.
