- We're live in two. - Okay, okay.
Okay. Um, Alison's got chills. Marshall's covering B cam,
but I don't know if he can do it. And Joel has a throat tickle.
Geez. Do you have any good news?
Um…
- Hey, six feet, six feet. - I'm sorry.
- Hi, Julia. - Good morning.
- Morning. - Alex's fever broke.
- That's great. When is she coming back? - Yeah.
Stella wants Alex and Chip to keep doing their thing.
- Really? - Yeah. How are things on your end?
I mean, I guess I'm fine.
I'm doing my own hair and makeup. I'm getting dressed in the green room.
I've been okay for the past two weeks. I think I'm in the clear.
Okay. Stella says you're good to go.
Thank you. You're my hero.
Yeah. Keep saying it. Okay.
You look like a dream.
Really? I feel pretty ragged.
Hi, Laura.
Morning, Bradley.
I made some changes to the Cuomo copy.
There was a new executive order last night.
Got it. What else?
Have a great show.
- Always do. - Five,
- four, three, two. - Marshall, is your camera even on?
Good morning. It's Wednesday, March 25th,
and the 2020 Summer Olympics have officially been postponed.
Okay. Bill Simpson just quit, and he's moving to Costa Rica.
Who?
He's the EVP of scripted. You know, the, smart one.
He's... He's pissed 'cause I canceled all the pilots that he just green-lit.
Well, what else could you do?
You know no one's gonna step foot on a film set right now.
Well, he's dead to us, and I need your help.
- Yeah, I'm a little busy. - We're desperate for content.
The Donner Party cast, they're stuck on location with a food shortage.
You're kidding.
And Sorkin won't release his Kissinger biopic to UBA+.
- Why did you green-light that? - Self-hate.
- That tracks. - I need you to talk to him.
- You're gonna owe me. - Okay, good. You can put it on my tab.
Did you see Alex's thing has over two million streams?
- Everybody stops to watch a house on fire. - Do you want me to put it out?
Put it out? No.
I want you to hit the street with a gas can and see what lights up.
We need stakes. We need spectacle.
We need the... the undeniable essence that is Alex fucking Levy.
I'll be back.
The fridge is full.
The wine is chilled. I'm just missing one thing.
- Toilet paper? - Actually, yeah. I need that too.
- Hey. Look who's here. - Hey, Brad...
Laura.
Hi, Cory.
- Call me later, okay? - Yeah. I'll call you back. Bye.
Okay. Was the show okay?
Yeah, good stuff. Good stuff.
So what's up?
I'm just checking in. Um, have you got enough food?
Do you want a dog, or a kitten or some other kind of animal companion?
- I'm good. - Okay.
Um, I checked with BA, and they're happy to put you in an apartment.
Well, I really appreciate that, but, um, I'm actually checking out of the hotel.
Okay. Good. Where you goin'?
Montana.
Laura and I have been talking, and it's just much safer out there,
and, um... I'll be remote and...
Unless, of course, you need me here.
No, no, no, no, no. That makes sense. Makes sen...
It'd be good for ratings, you know. Good.
You know none of this has anything to do with… you know,
what happened between you and I with Hal.
That, um... That was just, like... That was a crazy night,
and it was just... We were... We weren't...
We were going a little bit out of our minds, weren't we?
Um, yeah, right. Right. Were we?
I was.
Yeah. Okay.
Um... How is Hal?
So much better. Thank you. Yeah, he's with my mom now, you know.
That's great.
Thank you for asking.
Um, hope you see a moose.
How was your day?
- Shitty. - You said that yesterday.
I missed you too.
- Hi. - Hi.
I'm gonna go get some water.
No, no, no, no, no. Don't go. Too soon. Too soon. Stay.
I'd get you water. Do you need water?
No. But can we have, like, champagne?
- Well, I got that too, honey. - Really?
You came to the right house. Yes.
Yeah, I knew I came to the right house.
- Now, we don't have to work till tomorrow. - Okay.
So we could spend the whole day in bed if we wanted to.
My God. Can we?
You know, people will speculate. They always do.
I mean, I'm in a pod with you during the pandemic.
It's a little more than that.
Does it bother you?
Um, no. I don't know. Our personal relationship is our business.
Okay. So we just won't say anything about it on air.
Okay.
You have a little...
- Okay. Time to... Time to work. - Okay. Time to work.
- Salma? - Cory.
Are we doing masks, no masks?
What's the policy today?
I don't watch the news.
Well, why don't we leave them on? Till we get to know each other better.
Right. Better safe than sorry?
Can't wait to show you this house.
I love this place. I think you will too.
But I've got five more to show you, if this is not the one.
Okay. Wow, big lot.
UBA+ must be doing very well.
You're a subscriber.
I will be, if you buy through me.
Okay. Well, fair warning, I'm a little picky.
Good. I've got all the time in the world.
Yeah, I-I-I understand but...
By the time that I get there and I quarantine,
then Mother's Day will be over.
And then I have to come back here and quarantine again.
Yeah, but, Brad, we both know that if you wanted to, you could make it work.
Hal, that's not fair.
I'm... I'm sorry. I'm not trying to make you feel guilty. I swear to God.
I'll be there as soon as the restrictions lift, okay?
Just take care of Mom and... And text me anytime.
Okay.
- Are you good? - Yeah. I love you.
I love you too.
How's he doing?
Yeah. Seems like he's doing pretty good.
My mom is still going to church, and he's not wearing a mask at Costco.
Our education system is broken.
You know Hal and I went to the same schools.
Yeah, but only one of you learned about science.
That's my family.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. It was a joke. Really.
No, I know you don't like where I'm from, but I have a lot of that world in me,
and...
I need you to understand or... Or attempt to understand,
if you're gonna love me.
I'm judgy.
A little bit.
Or I'm doing the mommy thing, which is awful.
It's probably about my own childhood.
Or maybe I'm just an asshole.
But yes, I want to try.
Hold on. Is this compassionate engagement around our traumas?
Is this an adult conversation?
Definitely a lesbian conversation.
Followed by chocolate.
- No, I want chocolate too. - Nope. It's only for bisexuals.
It's my house. I get the chocolate.
I'm really happy with you.
- Eight seconds to you. - Stand by for live feed.
- Five, four, three… - I'm really happy with you too.
- …two. Start your move. Cue her. - I want people to know that.
So what? Make it official?
Bradley. Bradley, you're on.
Right.
- Good morning. It's May 14th. - Fifteenth.
Fifteenth. Sorry, y'all.
Babe, you gotta make some stronger coffee.
No. I need you at half speed when we go for our run later.
Well, tomorrow I'm gonna make the coffee.
No.
- I make good coffee. - I didn't say anything.
People will talk about this house.
They're gonna want to know about the man who lives inside.
I love it.
So picture this. You just closed the biggest deal of your life.
You've got the perfect bottle of wine, two glasses.
There's two glasses?
I'm not gonna make you drink alone.
I see. You're... You're here now too.
Just wanna make sure you're happy with your purchase.
You do this with all your clients?
No, Cory. You're special.
I've been, um… …thinking about you.
What have you been thinking?
That I wanna get to know you.
Maybe you'd let me cook you dinner.
What if I want more than dinner?
Can I see you?
I mean, can I really see you?
Hi.
No justice! No peace!
No fucking police! No justice! No peace! No fucking police!
It's great, but we can't use it on TMS.
Even if we bleep it?
We need personal stories.
Interviews with protesters talking about why they're marching
and what it means to them.
Okay. Well, I can be on the ground in Minneapolis by tomorrow.
Eric's already on the ground.
What's your take on this, Mia?
How are you feeling?
I agree with Stella. …
- Sit tight, we'll get you some footage. - Okay.
George Floyd! George Floyd!
- George Floyd! - George Floyd!
- No justice! No peace! - No justice! No peace!
Hey, Fancy Face.
When? Now. When? Now.
Was just gonna run the shower. You wanna jump in with me?
Sorry.
What's wrong?
André, do you think this country will ever change?
'Cause I spent my day arguing over
what protest footage our middle-class, mostly white audience
would be willing to watch without changing the channel.
Then air it all. Let 'em squirm.
Okay. Yeah. I can't.
Why not? The only way change happens is when people see it for themselves.
I've seen him die, like, 20 times.
They're killing him, he's calling out for his mama.
They're all just standing around, letting it happen.
God, I just...
- God. - Hey.
Hey, hey. I'm here.
God.
It's been a fucking week.
No shit.
People are stuck at home. Their only friend is the TV,
and we got nothing to show them because everything is shut down.
Okay. Chip has a new pitch every week, and Eric wants to do more.
- Just increase my budget and I can be... - Hey, I can't.
No one will loan to us since the Hannah Shoenfeld suit.
The vultures, they're circling right now, and I'm telling ya,
they see that stock drop, they're gonna swoop down and eat our livers.
What about, like, more interviews with Alex?
People love that. For Alex Unfiltered.
Great. That's one show.
- People love those interviews. - We got the Mitch Kessler documentary.
- What else do we have? - I can talk to the director.
She'd let us air that. Um…
that silence is deafening.
You really want to give him more airtime right now?
Well, it shows him in a different light.
He's regretful. He's repentant.
And it would drive traffic to UBA+.
In the middle of these protests?
I think the American public can hold more than one idea at a time.
Cory, people are dying.
They're getting shot and suffocated.
Watching Mitch meditate on his sins in some fancy Italian villa,
that feels tone-deaf.
Fine, then get me something else and make it cheap.
What is it?
I need five billion dollars.
That's all?
There's money all over this shoreline.
I mean, David Koch, Larry Page. Most of 'em stay holed up in their houses.
You don't even see them. But sometimes they come out to play.
Do you know Paul Marks?
I thought he lived on the floor of his factory.
He bought up here a few years ago.
I hear it's hard to get his attention.
CEO pay is 278 times higher than the average worker.
Did you have a question or are you asking me to comment
on the general state of the American economy?
I'm asking if you think that's ethical.
Well, upwards of a billion people will die in our lifetime
due to the effects of man-made climate destruction. Do you think that's ethical?
- That's a separate issue. - I think it's the only issue,
and it's something I'm actively working on.
So, a billion people are gonna die, but you wanna bitch about my paycheck?
The richest 1% emit twice as much CO2 as the bottom 50% of the world.
Well, I'd say you're missing the forest for the trees,
but I don't think you'd appreciate the irony of that statement.
But congratulations, you know a fact.
I think we're done here.
Have you been able to spend any time with your families?
It's been 41 days since I've been home with my husband and daughter.
We walk with death. I've never seen anything like this.
- My God, it's like a war zone. - Yeah.
And yet, we provide our soldiers with protective gear,
and here you guys are fighting people for masks.
- And ventilators, an-and beds. - Yes.
Our zip code has the highest rate of COVID in the state.
Our patients can't afford to stay home from work or isolate.
She's really good.
Everyone's just trying to survive. But it's really hard.
How can we help you? What is it that you need?
M-Maybe they'll give her Evening News. I hear Eric's leaving.
It could be you.
You should talk to Stella.
- …you are giving and sacrificing… - Okay. Yeah.
Jackie and Roberta, thank you for taking this time today and...
Emma called.
Still okay for her and Sam to come stay with us?
- Yeah, sure. - You sure?
I mean, I wish we were going out instead of them coming in, but yeah.
Okay.
Your friends.
- …talking to us. - Thank you for talking to us.
Thank goodness. Talk to me while I cut a million strawberries.
Hey. Listen to me. Um, Mom has COVID.
- For how long? - Um…
Okay. Look, I can get on a flight, and I'll be there by tomorrow.
No. Just stay where you are. I don't need you getting sick too.
Then I'll have, like, two people with COVID in the house.
I've... I gave her Tylenol.
- Her fever's not that bad. - My gosh.
Put the little oxygen thing on her finger. I'm watching it.
Okay. Can you put her on the phone? I want to talk to her.
She's asleep. Just... It's okay.
Just... I got this. Take a breath.
I just... I feel like I should be there.
No, you shouldn't. 'Cause she needs to rest,
and you'll just get her all riled up. And then that wouldn't be good for anybody.
Okay, Hal. Just please wear gloves an-an-and masked all the time, okay?
- It's gonna be all right. - And tell her not to smoke. Okay?
I promise.
An-And if anything changes, just call me, text me anytime.
- Morning or night. Do you hear me? - I'll be right back.
Brad, you are always coming to the rescue.
No, I-I can be there really fast.
Trust me. I love you.
- Okay. I love you. - I'll talk to you later.
My mom has COVID.
- My God. - And I don't know where she got it,
and I'm sure she wasn't wearing a mask, so don't even ask me. I don't know.
Do you wanna go to her?
Yeah. I feel like I should.
But then I talked to Hal, and he doesn't think there's any point.
And then I might get sick and then...
Okay. Um, I can call my cardiologist.
She knows people at Johns Hopkins.
If Hal can get your mom to Baltimore, she can get better care.
I wish she would. I-I wish she would call her own doctor.
You don't understand.
That's just… …just not how my family works.
He's gonna keep calling me. If anything happens, I-I'm gonna go.
- Of course. - Like that, I gotta go.
I understand that.
Okay. Hi, hi, hello. No. Singer. Yes. Madonna.
Movie, movie. Okay. Actress. What are you doing?
What's this? What is that?
West Side Story? I don't know.
Wait. Pulp Fiction!
Wait, wait. Time, time, time.
- Liza Minnelli! - Cabaret. That was amazing.
It was so obvious. I knew it.
I was totally transported to Weimar Germany.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry. - Your turn.
- It's okay, babe. - Okay.
- Sam, it's your turn.
Take it easy on me, okay?
I gotta take this.
- Hey. - Driving Miss Daisy.
Yeah. I can't hear you.
Hal, I can't hear you. Slow down. W-What?
- Well, here's to you. - What?
My God. My God.
I'm not buying out points.
You can offer 20 cents on the dollar and get back to me.
Kyle, what's next?
Bradley Jackson's mom died.
Do you want to call her?
Sorry.
Um…
Send her flowers, but from the whole UBA family.
- Thank you. - Okay.
There are now 102 active wildfires burning across the West.
- A federal judge in Pennsylvania ruled… - Over four million acres…
- …that Governor Tom Wolf's… - …have been destroyed.
…executive orders to control the spread of the virus
were unconstitutional and a violation of individual rights.
Good morning. It's Friday, September 18th.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died. She was 87.
Appointed by Bill Clinton in 1993, she was a champion of human rights
and an icon of the court.
Here's a brief retrospective of her extraordinary life.
You want me to make you something else?
I wanna go out to a restaurant.
I wanna eat real food and order a real drink and see people.
We could sit outside.
Bradley, I... I can't. I'm sorry.
You should talk to someone.
Who do you want me to talk to, Laura? Your therapist?
How about a therapist?
What's a therapist gonna fucking say to me?
That it's not my fault that my drug-addicted mother died?
It's not your fault.
Whatever. You hated her anyway.
I never met her.
You didn't have to.
You hated everything she stood for.
And I stopped talking to her because I could feel it every time.
That's not fair.
But it's true.
My God.
Bradley, I am trying to support you.
I'm trying to be here for you, okay?
And I... I can't help you if you don't try to process this.
Okay, let's process it, Laura.
You know what I fucking think?
I think you like to dress me up,
a-and... and parade me around for your fancy fucking New York friends.
- I'm like your little white trash pet. - What?
I think you don't even really like me.
I think that it makes you feel better about yourself,
because you're actually an elitist snob who hides out at the edge of the world
- so she doesn't have to deal… - Fuck you.
…with real people. Fuck you.
You must be so filled with spite, it just corrodes your insides.
Think you're happy when people like my mom die,
because they had... they get COVID 'cause they're uneducated,
or they're hicks, or they're just not as fucking smart as you.
You know what I think?
I think there's a little part of you that's actually relieved.
You're glad she's gone.
You just don't have the guts to admit it, Bradley.
And you need to grow the fuck up.
You need to grow up and stop blaming me for all your shit.
You can't just dump all your stuff on me!
Fucking be proactive and stop rewriting some sort of history, Bradley.
Your mother was a piece of shit.
You're the first person to tell everyone about it.
Okay.
It's an impossible situation, and I don't put any of this on you.
We're number two. It's on me.
I should have pulled Bradley off a month ago.
She keeps asking to go on assignment.
It's pretty clear that she doesn't wanna be on TMS.
What about Laura?
At this point, they're a package deal.
If Laura's on air without Bradley,
that's all anyone's gonna be thinking about.
Yeah.
Alex is willing to come back part-time. We can rotate guest hosts.
Maybe Yanko. He's wanted this forever.
We should start chasing someone now.
And just so it's on the record, I think it should be a woman of color
at the teacup, preferably someone under 40.
Like Chris Hunter.
Yeah, she's killing it in her guest segments.
We'll probably lose Alison if we go that way.
Yeah.
Hey… there's one more thing.
All right, take your time.
Anyway, you asked what I thought I did wrong.
I fucked up.
Obviously. I shouldn't have done any of it.
Have you seen this?
- I didn't want to be this person. - The Mitch Kessler interview. Wild.
I didn't want to hurt anyone.
I didn't want people to think I was the kind of person
that could hurt someone.
- And now one of those women is dead. - Turn it off.
- Fucking douchebag. - Hannah Shoenfeld.
- And that should have never happened... - André, turn it off.
That's just…
Sorry.
Did he, um…
No.
We were together. I was in love with him.
I thought he was in love with me.
Say something.
Why are you still there?
It's my job.
He's gone. I'm not.
I'm still here. I'm still there. I have people there.
It may be hard to believe, but some of us care about
staying in a place, trying to make it better.
You ever tried Worcestershire sauce? I'm gonna make a cheese toastie.
- You want a cheese toastie? - Are you drunk?
Very.
Did you go to a bar?
No. I went to three.
Asshole.
Mia!
If you leave this apartment...
If you risk exposing anybody else to your fucking shit,
I swear to God I will never fucking forgive you.
Selfish asshole.
Stella needs somebody on the ground, right up to the certification,
so I'll be in DC until January.
Will you let me know that you're safe?
You're not coming back, are you?
Maybe it's just not our time.
Hey.
Hey, so AP called about an assignment.
Okay. Where?
Afghanistan. It could be two weeks. It could be two months. I don't know.
Are you gonna take it?
I'll leave your keys with the doorman.
Man. Pandemic is fucking weird.
Do we dance? I think we dance.
Nope, nope. Not worth getting COVID.
Fuck social distancing. Let's go to, like, an actual club.
You know, and take our chances.
You don't think we're a little too old for the underground scene?
What? I am not old.
- How is your dad? - Yeah, he's actually old.
You know, he still sends me a holiday card every year?
Yeah, he always liked you because you tolerated his endless stories.
He liked me because I tolerated your intense ass for four years.
Stanford was intense, not me.
- I'm way less intense now. Seriously. - I don't know.
I eat real food. I sleep. You know, sleep is my self-care.
- Wow, really? - Yeah.
No more Red Bull with Addy sprinkles for breakfast?
No.
You're a... a big, fancy newsperson now.
Yeah, whatever.
- How's Hyperion? - It's okay.
Kind of feels like one of those moments where I could just pick up and leave,
and no one would say shit.
What would you do instead?
I don't know. Open up a café. Bomb an oil refinery.
You're gonna stop programming rockets? Come on.
No, I just need a change, you know.
Any change.
Let me know if you hear of something cool.
Yeah, there's nothing at UBA. It's a hiring freeze.
- I wasn't asking you for a job. - Sorry.
I'll keep my ears open. Stuff will open up for you.
Thank you.
You know, I don't... I don't blame you for what you did.
Really. Leaving Paul Marks and doing the corporate thing.
I really don't.
Sometimes… …I wonder what my life would have been like
if I had done the same thing.
Would I regret it?
Yeah.
My clothes would be better though.
The company also exam...
Examined five hours of afternoon cable in three days.
In 20... Stella? Stella, are you with me here? Stella?
- Stella, hi. This is, important. Good. - Sorry.
Um, so how bad is it?
Budgets are up 30% across the board.
It is existential.
- Fuck me. - You know what?
Maybe he'll refuse to leave the White House,
and the Secret Service boys will have to drag him out by his tiny little feet,
- 'cause people would watch that. - Wait.
Come on, you don't really think that they're gonna...
That there's a, um...
An armed militia that's roving the streets of DC ready to overturn the election?
Do you have Internet?
I should call Bradley.
Yeah. How is she doing?
Um, she says she's fine, but I don't know.
And-And, I'm starting to worry that I shouldn't have sent her there.
We don't have free and fair elections.
And you know what else? We don't have a free and fair press.
Our media is not free. It's not fair.
It suppresses thought, it suppresses speech,
and it's become the enemy of the people.
It's become the enemy of the people.
It's the biggest problem we have in this country.
Yeah, yeah, I'm inside.
I don't know, I... I got separated from my crew.
I'm just gonna... I have to go. I'm gonna film by myself.
And we're gonna have to fight much harder,
because you're sworn to uphold our constitution.
Now it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy.
- And after this… - Stop the steal! We're stopping the steal!
- We're taking it back! - We're going to walk down...
- USA! USA! - We're going to walk down.
Anyone you want, but I think right here, we're going to walk down to the Capitol.
And we're going to cheer on our brave senators…
Fuck. Goddamn it.
…and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.
Because you'll never…
…take back our country with weakness.
You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.
It's a restricted area!
Gonna pay now, you traitor! What you gonna do?
Where you going?
Let's go!
Get off me!
- Hey. - Don't. Don't.
What?
Just say something before I lose my mind. What, Hal?
- I didn't know it was gonna be like that. - You don't know?
What the fuck are you doing here, Hal? Why did you even come here?
I… …had some b-buddies that were coming...
- Those your buddies? - I knew that you were gonna be here.
I... I was... I was coming to see you.
We haven't seen each other in a year.
You have any idea what it is like trying to get clean on Zoom
or stuck in that house cleaning Mom's shit out?
Because you weren't there.
It drives you crazy.
That's crazy? This is fucking crazy.
I was just trying to get out of there. All I wanted to do was leave, Brad,
but then he-he grabbed me.
You assaulted a police officer.
That is a felony, Hal.
And I caught you doing it on fucking camera.
- Cheryl's pregnant. - I'm gonna be a dad.
What? What did you say?
Cheryl's pregnant. I'm gonna be a dad. She's gonna have a baby.
- I'm gonna have a baby. - My God.
What do I do? Y-Y-You have... You have to help me.
- What-What am I supposed to do? - My God. My God.
Okay, okay, okay.
Okay, let me think.
Wait, w-w... Who knows you were here?
Where did you tell Cheryl you were going?
…she thinks I went camping.
Okay. You have to get out of here.
You're-You're gonna take a... You're gonna take a bus,
- and you... and you were never here. - Brad.
- And I never fucking saw you. - Brad.
Give me your phone. Have to get rid of your phone.
- And you have to go! - Right now.
- Thank you. - Goddamn it, Hal, just get out of here.
And-And, Hal, don't call me. And don't text me.
Do you understand?
Stop the steal! Stop the steal!
This is incredible.
I want Evening News.
At 12:53 p.m., the outer perimeter is breached.
As the vaccine hits your system you may experience
dizziness, confusion, fever.
A crowd infiltrates the Capitol
and engages in a standoff outside the Senate Chamber.
Your immune system is gonna detect the foreign mRNA,
and it's going to marshal all its resources it can to combat it.
Violence erupts almost immediately,
as staffers barricade themselves in offices.
You're likely to be exhausted, dissociated even, for a few days.
Imagine, complete chaos within the walls of this monument to democracy.
Stop the steal. Stop the steal! Stop the steal! Stop the steal!
USA!
Stop the steal!
Reach out to my office to set up your second shot.
Congratulations.
No one knows where to go or what to do.
You ever worry about sharks?
Yeah, I don't bother them, they don't bother me.
400 million years. That's how long they've been here.
I don't know.
There were sharks in that ocean before there were rings around Saturn.
Humans, we're just a blip.
Showed up yesterday, almost certainly be gone tomorrow.
All we have is today. My money is on them.
- You live around here? - Yeah, I just bought a place.
I figure I got 50 years before the ocean swallows it up.
Should have bought a boat.
Well, you know, I tried to build an ark, but supply chain.
Paul Marks. And you are?
I'm Cory Ellison.
Right. UBA, right? Yeah.
Exactly. Have you ever thought about getting into media?
I hate television.
Boy, you'd fit right in.
Nice to meet you, Cory. See you around.
- Can I come in? - Yeah.
Wow.
- You want some water or... - No. Um, I'm good.
I, Wow, is this how you spent your pandemic?
Something like that.
- Wow. It's beautiful. - Thanks.
This mask is driving me crazy.
So, I-I'm assuming you got a copy of the subpoena today?
That made my week.
I mean, don't you love getting mail from the FBI?
It's so polite. It's so civilized.
It's a hell of a lot better than when they kick in your door at 4:00 a.m.
and drag you out by the pj's.
Yeah, Cory, we have to protect our journalistic independence.
Okay, yeah.
Normally I would totally agree with you on that,
- but this is a, Not in this case. - Cory.
I spoke with the special agent in charge.
There was a police officer who was assaulted
in the hallway of the Capitol.
No witnesses, no video.
And based upon your reporting,
they think you were nearby when it happened,
and there might be something useful on your footage.
Hey, you could be a hero. Hell, I might even be a hero,
supporting the great cause of democracy, et cetera, et cetera.
I know you have principles, but this is an extraordinary situation.
… …I deleted the footage.
And they're gonna know, 'cause the footage cuts out in the hallway
right as the police officer comes out of the door. And...
Because?
Hal... Hal is on it.
Hal. Hal was at the Capitol?
And they're gonna see the footage, Cory.
And they're gonna know what I did.
And... And they're gonna wanna talk to me.
Bradley, we put you on Evening News.
Do you understand?
This... This jeopardizes the entire network.
- I know. - I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry. I...
Hal's the only person I have left.
And he says he didn't want to hurt anybody,
and I didn't know what to do.
I'll have our lawyers reach out to the FBI,
and the Feds can have the...
The video that was already aired and that's it.
Um… journalistic independence, as you say.
Thank you.
I just...
I'd like for you to leave now.
And… …I don't wanna hear another fucking word about this, ever.
You ready?
Yeah.
Have a good show.
Thank you.
Sound check.
Great.
Five, four, three, two…
Good evening.
I'm Bradley Jackson, and this is the UBA Evening News.
