Previously on "Alaska Daily"...
Complaints have surfaced.

We need to walk back the story.
You do that, Rushmi, I walk.

Stanley.
Why are you here?

Her name is Gloria Nanmac.

It's a story about how

the Missing and Murdered
Indigenous Women crisis

is being ignored.

Roz, I want to put you
on a story with Eileen.

Why not just give
the whole story to me?

It's my story.

Do you know anything
about Alaska?

Following the publication
of your stories,

Durkin was fired.
So was Barnett.

When you expose people,
do you worry about blowback?

Hello,
Eileen. Did you get my gift?

The next bullet you receive
won't be in a box.

Hey, Claire.
Hey, Dennis.

How's the blog?

Governor, great to see so many
resources being employed

to find Henley Scott.

Can't put a price on life.

To that point, an Alaska Native
woman's currently missing,

and the amount of money
spent to find her

is less than
your sushi lunch.

pilot poet.

Any chance

I gotta rain check.

Good night, Eileen.

Should we get out of here?

Uh, not sure.

Stanley's still on the phone
with the police,

Uh, oh, and maybe tell them

That was Captain Freeman.

Freeman's on this?
Not exactly an ally.

Maybe not, but he assured me
that he understands the threat

and he's confident
that he can seal off the TDA

without alerting the gunman.

Can we stay here?
I am.

Yeah, I'll talk to Karla.

I know we're all concerned

but we need to put
all that aside and focus.

The best way to help
Eileen and Gabriel

is to get the police

Who is this guy and why the hell
did he come after Eileen?

Okay, the place is all yours.
Back door's locked.

Front door is open to the police

Thank you, Karla.

Alright, I got
our phone records,

but until we get
the Concerned Citizen's name,

there's nothing
to cross check.

There's a guy
who's been posting

in our comments section
recently -- Oilman223.

Listen to this.

"Environmentalism is the
greatest thing to happen

to increased government control
since 9/11."

That sounds like Dennis.
It does.

I'm on The Eagle blog
right now.

Oilman223 basically did
a cut and paste.

He's definitely a follower.

Hey, I got the same handle
trolling Eileen's Twitter --

@Oilman223.

"@EileenFitzgerald's
shameful ambush of our governor

will be her last."

Did you check the profile

Yeah, it's blank.

He's disabled
location services, too.

This jerk was getting ready
for this.

Let's crowdsource it.
Publish his handle.

Someone has to know
his real identity.

We'd risk
exposing the story.

Yeah, about that.
I hate to bring it up,

but are we reporting
this hostage situation or not?

Fair question.
Any other hostage crisis,

we'd be all over it.

But if we go public,
there's no telling

how Oilman223 will react.

The police
are on their way.

It's only gonna be unnoticed
for so long.

TV crews get wind of it,
it's gonna blow up.

Who cares?
It's not about that.

We'll deal with that
when it comes.

Sure, we'll get scooped,

but I want to give the cops
as much time as possible.

Remember, we'll be the only ones

Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah,
you wanna play me?

Go ahead.
See what happens.

That is not our intention,
Mr. Barry.

I promised you we would keep
our distance.

We have and will
continue to,

but I need you to negotiate
with me in good faith.

Then stop playing games.

No games.
I promise.

We know you are holding
two people inside now.

Is anyone hurt?

No. No one's hurt.

Good.

Now, why don't we start
with what you want.

What I want, huh?

Your demands.
Can you share that with me?

Offer to let Gabriel go.

I can't leave you
with him.

Mr. Barry?

Yeah, I'm s--
I'm still here.

Trust me, Eric.

It will buy you some time

This type of traumatic news

You're concerned?

Some nutjob is holding a gun

You heard that part, right?

We'll be as tactful

Daisy, these are reporters
from The Daily Alaskan.

They want to talk to you
about your father.

That's my dad in there?

I'm sorry
to spring this on you,

but our friends
are in real danger.

Well, what can I do?

We'd like for you to come back
to the newsroom with us.

If you could just talk
to your dad --

There's nothing
that I can say.

I haven't seen or spoken
to him in years.

Just seeing you there
could help.

He threw me out.
He can't stand me.

That's not true.

He left you a letter
full of regret.

And you can read it,
but what you need to know

is that
he was saying goodbye.

He's not planning on
coming out alive.

You could change that.

Look, my dad,
he doesn't want to change.

He's not well.

I'm the last person

I just can't.

I'm sorry.

Last night,
a man broke into the newsroom

of The Daily Alaskan

because he didn't like the way
I did my job.

I was shocked, of course.

Several months ago,
a well-respected

investigative reporter
was stabbed to death

outside his Las Vegas home
by a corrupt politician

he exposed.

Physical attacks
on members of the press

have risen dramatically
in recent years.

One only need to turn on
the TV to understand why.

It's become fashionable
for people in power,

right up to those
in the White House,

to delegitimize
print journalists

by calling what we write
fake news

and designating reporters
as "enemies of the people."

There are armies of
talking heads and bloggers,

in the mainstream
and on the fringe,

echoing that message,

not just demonizing reporters,
but dehumanizing them, too.

These attacks put a bullseye
on our backs,

and if we don't stand up
against this as a society

and remind
our harshest critics

that liberty depends
on a fair and free press,

the bullseye will wind up on
the back of democracy itself.

Pursuit of a common truth
is a responsibility I cherish

and will never,
ever abandon,

even if you put a gun
to my head.
