00:00:28 -Get those people out of the way!
00:00:31 The President has been shot!
00:00:33 There were at least three gunshots.
00:00:37 Get those people out of the fucking way.
00:00:39 I'm all right.
00:00:41 To the van. Let's go! Let's go!
00:00:44 Was anyone else hit?
00:00:46 Go! Go! Go! Go!
00:00:49 -Call my wife. Tell her I'm okay.
00:00:52 Repeat, he got through security.
00:00:54 -Tell her I'm okay.
00:00:56 -God damn it!

00:01:15 Emily, what are you hearing now?
00:01:17 Jim, as you can imagine, the situation
00:01:21 can be described as a state of chaos.
00:01:24 Apparently, President Lyman responded
00:01:27 said to have overwhelmingly
00:01:30 Venezuela's involvement
00:01:33 President Lopez's government...
00:01:34 Four bottles of milk on the wall
00:01:39 You take one down, you pass it around
00:01:44 Three bottles of milk on the wall
00:01:47 Oh, my God, this song.
00:01:48 Is this what we got in trouble for
00:01:53 I don't know why anybody actually signed
00:01:58 Yeah.
00:02:03 Hey, Timmy!
00:02:06 -What are you doing?
00:02:13 Can you just, like,
00:02:15 I don't have a good voice.
00:02:18 Well, me, neither. Come on, sing along.

00:02:23 -Mrs. Robinson?
00:02:26 Nicky Ludlow keeps pulling on my hair,
00:02:29 Well, just switch seats.
00:02:31 But the bus is full.
00:02:33 You know what, just stay right here. Okay?
00:02:38 You're a tattletale!
00:02:40 -I am not!
00:02:43 That's because he won't stop.
00:02:45 -You're a tattletale.
00:02:48 -That's enough.
00:02:50 Well, you're not supposed
00:02:56 Come on.
00:02:58 Capital Sun Times.
00:03:00 It's gonna be the Redskins.
00:03:02 You know what you call 53 people
00:03:04 -No, sir.
00:03:06 That's what you call them.
00:03:07 Larry, you should be supporting
00:03:09 I would support the North Koreans
00:03:10 if they were playing
00:03:12 All right, Judy, give it four hours
00:03:16 -Thank you, B.B.
00:03:18 Okay. Thanks, everybody.
00:03:21 Let me ask you a question.
00:03:25 Oh, quite a few.
00:03:27 Rache, stick around a minute, would you?
00:03:31 You know there's that track star, right?
00:03:34 -Yeah.
00:03:36 -Get the door for me, would you, Kelly?
00:03:38 Thanks.
00:03:45 Okay, Rache.
00:03:46 We're gonna fast track the story. Your story.
00:03:49 Really? When?
00:03:51 The New York Times has gotten hold
00:03:53 so we're going to beat them to the punch.
00:03:55 Yeah.
00:03:57 I mean, it's a killer story.
00:03:59 No, I know. It's Watergate. It's lran-Contra.
00:04:02 It mean, it's a "holy shit" piece, Bonnie.
00:04:03 -It's gonna take them down.
00:04:05 -Sorry. Gotta rein it in. I'm kind of excited.
00:04:10 Well, fine. We'll objectively bring down
00:04:13 What else do you need to do
00:04:16 I gotta call the White House.
00:04:21 Out of curiosity,
00:04:23 Avril, I already told you,
00:04:25 if we went to her too early,
00:04:28 We go now, there's nothing they can do.
00:04:30 Okay. Look, legally the story is solid.
00:04:34 Everything is factually in line.
00:04:36 Well, that's all that's important, right?
00:04:41 I wish you would let me know
00:04:46 A title, a job description.
00:04:50 Okay, look,
00:04:54 Rachel told me who they are,
00:04:56 We have Van Doren's letter
00:04:59 that the Feds gave to Rachel.
00:05:01 -That's enough to go to press.
00:05:03 I'm just saying
00:05:06 the government may not be.
00:05:09 I'm sorry, what?
00:05:11 It's illegal for a government official
00:05:12 to reveal the identity
00:05:15 Okay. Well, I'm not a government official.
00:05:16 I don't understand why you're bringing...
00:05:18 We've already discussed this.
00:05:20 As long as we all know
00:05:21 All right, we know.
00:05:23 Okay, do you know how to find her?
00:05:25 Yeah.
00:05:27 Our kids go to school together,
00:05:30 -No shit?
00:05:32 Okay, you feel comfortable
00:05:34 Absolutely.
00:05:36 Yeah! That's it! Come on! Pass it in!
00:05:39 -Stay open, Ali!
00:05:42 I got it! I got it!
00:05:45 Come on now! Push up! Push up!
00:05:48 Yes, Ali! Good job! Good job!
00:05:52 Kick it, honey! Kick it hard!
00:05:53 Good pass!
00:05:57 Spread out, girls! Spread out!
00:06:02 Get in there! Come on!
00:06:05 -Hey.
00:06:09 Oh, no. Defense! Come on, defense! Allison.
00:06:13 -She's doing great out there.
00:06:18 -Every one of them chases the ball.
00:06:21 Come on, Ali! Come on.
00:06:23 -She is in Mr. Cody's class. Right?
00:06:26 -Yeah, my son, too.
00:06:30 -Come on, Allison.
00:06:32 Could we talk in private?
00:06:34 I'm with the Sun Times,
00:06:37 It's kind of important.
00:06:39 Yeah. Sure.
00:06:46 I'm just concerned
00:06:49 -I won't keep you long.
00:06:52 Erica, I'm writing a story.
00:06:56 -Okay?
00:06:58 And it's gonna run tomorrow,
00:07:01 that you are a ClA operative,
00:07:04 and that you went on a mission,
00:07:08 What? This is...
00:07:10 Hear me out, okay?
00:07:13 You went there on a fact-finding mission
00:07:15 to determine if its government
00:07:17 for the assassination attempt
00:07:19 You determined it was not,
00:07:22 This is the stupidest B.S. I have ever heard.
00:07:25 Wait, wait. What? Can you...
00:07:27 How do I know
00:07:29 The White House ignored your findings
00:07:32 still claiming retribution
00:07:35 I've been on the national desk for five years.
00:07:37 I have a column every Tuesday
00:07:41 My son goes to school here, too.
00:07:43 Yeah, I know. You said that.
00:07:49 You people.
00:07:51 You people! My God! You fucking people!
00:07:53 You know, this isn't about me.
00:07:57 My source is impeccable.
00:07:59 Your source is 1 10% fucking peccable.
00:08:03 I'm a ClA operative?
00:08:05 I can't even use the navigation system
00:08:10 Your paper... Your paper has been trying
00:08:14 ever since he spoke out
00:08:16 -We have your memo.
00:08:18 -We have your findings.
00:08:21 -Do you know him?
00:08:22 He's gonna take a lead pipe to you,
00:08:25 Well, I certainly don't want that.
00:08:27 What are you doing? What are you doing?
00:08:31 -Rachel Armstrong.
00:08:33 Are you denying you're ClA?
00:08:34 You know what? You stay away from us.
00:08:44 Just say that the White House
00:08:46 Is that what you're saying?
00:08:48 Come on, David.
00:08:50 Off the record, this is bullshit.
00:08:52 You're gonna set off a shit storm
00:08:53 for a lousy column inch of space.
00:08:55 -Rachel, it's your son on line five.
00:08:58 I gotta go, David.
00:09:03 Hey, kiddo.
00:09:04 Hi, Mom. Did you get my paper?
00:09:07 Yeah, I'm just getting it now.
00:09:10 Okay, but I gotta go to bed soon.
00:09:13 Okay.
00:09:16 But Dad said I had to go to bed.
00:09:19 Well, we'll do it in the morning. I promise.
00:09:21 Okay.
00:09:22 It's just, I have a real big story, honey.
00:09:26 It's fine, Mom.
00:09:28 Okay, I love you. Bye-bye.
00:09:30 -Sorry.
00:09:32 My son had to do a paper on lndia.
00:09:36 I bet you he could give me 10 inches
00:09:39 -Oh, yeah.
00:09:41 "White House doesn't comment
00:09:44 Yeah, well, I know you'll give it
00:09:48 -Sure.
00:09:50 It's worth every dime I don't make.
00:09:52 Look, I want you to start
00:09:55 from Yale to ClA, to the marriage
00:10:00 He was her professor. He was married.
00:10:03 Now, that's some good stuff.
00:10:05 Look, by the way,
00:10:09 If I were you,
00:10:18 Hey, Erica.
00:10:21 -Why are we meeting here, Merrill?
00:10:24 No. Why are we meeting out
00:10:27 We're not out in the open, Erica.
00:10:30 Now tomorrow,
00:10:33 tomorrow you'll be out in the open. Shit!
00:10:37 Your husband had to go
00:10:39 Keep him out of this.
00:10:41 You're right, Erica. It's not Oscar's fault.
00:10:44 Oscar hasn't been trained in covert ops.
00:10:49 No, it's your fault.
00:10:51 Okay, hey, guys. Here's the SlTREP.
00:10:55 The paper will be out in two hours.
00:10:59 They didn't want to give
00:11:01 to put it in their morning editions.
00:11:03 They're bringing in a special prosecutor
00:11:07 I can't believe this.
00:11:10 I mean, our kids go to school together,
00:11:13 you know, the reporter's kid and mine.
00:11:16 Wait a second. You know her?
00:11:18 Well, I kind of recognized her today,
00:11:24 Let me ask you straight out, Erica.
00:11:26 -Was it me, what?
00:11:29 I mean, it's understandable.
00:11:31 The White House ignored your report,
00:11:35 You goaded Oscar to write
00:11:38 When that didn't get traction,
00:11:40 I went to the press myself.
00:11:42 Someone you knew. Someone you trusted.
00:11:45 Fuck you.
00:11:47 Fuck me? Touche.
00:11:53 The prosecutor, Patton Dubois,
00:11:55 He'll get Armstrong before the grand jury.
00:11:57 Law says
00:11:59 Could it have been Oscar?
00:12:00 No. Could it have been you, O'Hara?
00:12:04 How we all doing? Still doing good?
00:12:07 -Doing good.
00:12:08 -Good.
00:12:10 I'm gonna put you on the box. Oscar, too.
00:12:12 Fine. But I want everybody in the agency
00:12:17 I want them with polygraph wires
00:12:19 because there's a traitor among us.
00:12:21 We'll find that person if they're in the ClA.
00:12:23 Nonetheless, we should think about
00:12:26 No. No.
00:12:29 but none of this shit was my fault.
00:12:33 This Lois Lane and her newspaper,
00:12:36 I'm not gonna let her turn me
00:12:39 I'm staying here.
00:12:41 Whatever.
00:12:43 In the meantime, we'll assign
00:12:49 I feel so much safer. Thank you.
00:12:53 I can't fucking believe this.
00:13:35 Mommy.
00:13:40 -Wanna stay home from school today?
00:13:48 This is very interesting. It's awesome.
00:13:52 -Thank you.
00:13:56 I didn't realize they made
00:13:59 It also has the most democrats in the world.
00:14:01 Well, not quite.
00:14:04 -lsn't that the same thing?
00:14:07 Jesus Christ.
00:14:13 Don't give your carrots to Brandon today.
00:14:16 Okay, Mom.
00:14:20 You did it.
00:14:22 This changes everything.
00:14:26 I don't know about that.
00:14:34 -Timmy, come on. Eat your breakfast.
00:14:36 Come on, don't give Mommy a hard time.
00:14:39 -Eggs give you cancer.
00:14:42 All right, you know what?
00:14:48 Feels pretty good though.
00:14:52 You didn't tell me half the stuff
00:14:56 Well, you don't tell me anything
00:15:00 A spokesman for the newspaper says
00:15:02 because her husband is a Vocal opponent
00:15:06 this makes Mrs. Van Doren's employment
00:15:10 -Mom?
00:15:13 -What's up, kiddo?
00:15:16 To the zoo? It's a school day.
00:15:19 Maybe we can go tonight?
00:15:21 Well, the animals are sleeping at night.
00:15:23 You don't want to mess
00:15:25 They might be a bit cranky.
00:15:30 Okay, come on, sweetie,
00:15:33 -You got your stuff?
00:15:35 Great, thank you.
00:15:42 Hey. Come on, you're forgetting.
00:15:48 I love you. Have a good day.
00:15:52 Hey, Connor.
00:15:56 I'm sorry, you scared the hell out of me.
00:15:58 I'm Special Agent Coddington.
00:16:02 We need you to come with us, please.
00:16:04 What for?
00:16:05 I don't know, ma'am. They just asked me
00:16:11 Hey there, Miss Armstrong. Come on in.
00:16:14 I'm Patton Dubois, federal prosecutor.
00:16:18 Please come on in. Thanks for coming by.
00:16:20 Did I have a choice?
00:16:21 Of course you did.
00:16:25 I don't have anything to say,
00:16:26 so if you have a problem,
00:16:30 Can I get you a cup of coffee?
00:16:32 No, thank you.
00:16:34 Sure, sir, I'm gonna take some.
00:16:36 Great scoop, by the way.
00:16:38 If this doesn't make your career,
00:16:42 Holy moly.
00:16:46 That was something.
00:16:50 Well, I'm gonna be announced in a few days,
00:16:52 just as soon as
00:16:55 as the special counsel to investigate
00:17:01 -That was fast.
00:17:05 but the boys over at Justice seem to think
00:17:09 a not-a-second-to-lose kind of thing.
00:17:11 So they called me in last night,
00:17:14 and I just checked into the hotel
00:17:19 The Attorney General's office
00:17:23 Maybe somebody over there
00:17:26 -I think I should call my lawyer.
00:17:28 I'm not gonna be asking you any questions.
00:17:32 Not here, anyway.
00:17:36 I just wanted to get
00:17:41 Can I talk to you off the record?
00:17:46 Sure.
00:17:48 I mean, a just-between-you-and-me
00:17:52 Off the record is off the record.
00:17:53 Okay, good. I'll do all the yada-yada.
00:17:59 Now, you were within your rights
00:18:03 However, you're not within your rights
00:18:05 to protect who it was
00:18:10 It's a 1982 law called
00:18:15 Your source is in a great deal of trouble.
00:18:17 -I've no intention of discussing my source...
00:18:19 I'm doing the yada-yada, remember?
00:18:22 Okay.
00:18:24 Okay, look,
00:18:26 you're gonna be asked
00:18:29 You're gonna be asked
00:18:31 I'll be doing the asking.
00:18:32 Now, if, for some reason,
00:18:36 you'll be held in contempt,
00:18:39 and we're not talking about
00:18:42 with a butler, nonsense.
00:18:47 Look.
00:18:50 Rachel, go to your source.
00:18:53 Ask him to permit you to reveal his name.
00:18:56 You may be surprised
00:19:01 People are inherently decent, I have found.
00:19:07 Well, if that were true,
00:19:16 Well, that's all I've got to say.
00:19:19 I'm afraid I'm gonna disappoint you,
00:19:21 That's not possible.
00:19:29 -You ready? Here she is.
00:19:31 Ready to roll?
00:19:33 Rolling.
00:19:36 Hey, Erica,
00:19:38 Is Erica your real name?
00:19:42 All right, I know you're trying
00:19:44 I'd love to speak to you.
00:19:49 I have an appointment here
00:19:52 Is Erica your real name?
00:19:53 Did you give your husband
00:19:55 Does your family know that you're here?
00:19:57 You know, I'm a mom.
00:20:02 If this CIA report exists,
00:20:05 that would seem to indicate
00:20:07 a full-fledged act of war in Venezuela
00:20:10 -without justification...
00:20:11 -Really nice work.
00:20:14 It would also mean that either the President
00:20:17 Hey, Rache, they're waiting for you
00:20:20 ...what is arguably the worst foreign policy
00:20:24 So far, the White House
00:20:26 but they're not denying the report.
00:20:28 -Rachel.
00:20:29 -Kick-ass story, by the way.
00:20:31 ...there's a reason to question the findings.
00:20:33 "'Wait for me. Wait for me.
00:20:36 "'And I'd sure like to catch something great,'
00:20:37 "she added, with a fishing pole in hand.
00:20:39 "So off they went. Up a hill,
00:20:44 "and just as Granny Annie was about to
00:20:50 If I'd been a little bit more forceful with you
00:20:53 maybe we wouldn't be in this situation.
00:20:55 I told you, the government's gonna take this
00:20:58 The next time the FBl hauls you
00:21:01 -your first goddamn phone call is to me!
00:21:04 Before you even take off
00:21:08 All right, Avril.
00:21:12 You okay?
00:21:13 Yeah, I was dropping Timmy off at school,
00:21:18 and they asked me to go with them and...
00:21:20 Pretty unnerving, huh?
00:21:23 -lt was really fast.
00:21:27 Yeah. I didn't give it to them.
00:21:31 Okay, please.
00:21:38 First of all, this is appalling behavior
00:21:43 Snatching you in front of your kid.
00:21:46 I want to know the name of the agent
00:21:48 Well, it wasn't an FBl agent.
00:21:51 He's being appointed special prosecutor.
00:21:56 What? You know him?
00:21:59 No.
00:22:01 No. But a special prosecutor,
00:22:04 See, his only requirement
00:22:07 with nothing else to divert him.
00:22:08 He's gonna have unlimited time,
00:22:12 and the chance of unlimited publicity.
00:22:14 There's a lot more investigative power for
00:22:17 Yeah, well, not enough power
00:22:21 I have a right to protect my source.
00:22:26 -What?
00:22:27 doesn't have a shield law.
00:22:31 49 states do have some form of protection
00:22:34 -but not the federal government.
00:22:36 when they see how far we will go
00:22:38 The federal government is fighting
00:22:41 You see, somebody revealed
00:22:46 That is an act of treason.
00:22:49 They're gonna take this very, very seriously.
00:22:51 Yeah, well, so am l,
00:22:57 -Officer, what's the hold-up?
00:23:00 Are you kidding? My house is right there.
00:23:02 -She's on the list.
00:23:10 I want a half-hour of reading every day.
00:23:13 -You hear me?
00:23:14 -for not going to school?
00:23:17 -I'll miss my friends.
00:23:19 but it's just gonna be for a little while.
00:23:20 You're gonna have a private tutor.
00:23:22 You'll love him. I promise. Kisses.
00:23:24 Butterfly kiss, Eskimo kiss.
00:23:31 I love you.
00:23:32 I told you this would happen.
00:23:34 -You just don't get it, do you?
00:23:37 What do you want to listen to, baby?
00:23:39 Who's your best friend?
00:23:42 -Who?
00:23:50 Bye!
00:24:07 Are we off the record?
00:24:11 Sure. I'll meet you in the back.
00:24:23 You didn't come here to kick my ass,
00:24:27 I'm not trained in that whole,
00:24:29 "Knock somebody's nose into their brain
00:24:32 No, I use poison darts.
00:24:35 Funny.
00:24:41 I like your mums.
00:24:45 Thank you.
00:24:47 Is your husband still writing?
00:24:49 Yeah, all the time. Every day.
00:24:53 I read his novel about the Mossad.
00:24:59 It was very entertaining.
00:25:03 Thank you.
00:25:10 So...
00:25:15 I'm sorry I lost my cool with you.
00:25:18 Usually it takes a man
00:25:24 Oscar and l...
00:25:29 It's probably it, you know,
00:25:33 He's gone. He left.
00:25:36 We had it out,
00:25:40 'cause we had to send her away, too.
00:25:42 Allison's a great kid.
00:25:45 She seems very grounded.
00:25:47 How do you know her?
00:25:50 No. No, I'm a room mother.
00:25:53 Room mother? Man.
00:25:57 I come in once every two weeks to read
00:26:02 -Mom?
00:26:03 I'm outside, Timmy!
00:26:06 What can I do for you?
00:26:07 I know you can't tell me who your source is.
00:26:11 I know about keeping secrets.
00:26:14 Just tell me yes or no. All right? Is...
00:26:19 Is it someone close to me?
00:26:23 Is it?
00:26:25 Is it someone I work with?
00:26:28 I can't tell you anything.
00:26:34 You know what?
00:26:36 When you go before the grand jury,
00:26:39 -You are an unpatriotic little cunt...
00:26:41 ...who's gonna walk right off the plank
00:26:44 -Do you know that?
00:26:46 If you want to go on record,
00:26:49 Thank you.
00:26:51 -What?
00:26:53 Hello, handsome. How are you?
00:26:56 How's Allison doing?
00:27:02 No, no, no. She is great. She's...
00:27:04 She's just spending time with a relative.
00:27:06 -Can you tell her I said hi?
00:27:24 Is it the door?
00:27:34 Yeah?
00:27:35 -Rachel Armstrong?
00:27:38 I'm here to serve you, ma'am.
00:27:39 I just barely had time to type that up
00:27:42 -ls it okay? Does it make sense to you?
00:27:45 I thought the law was supposed
00:27:47 Except for when it doesn't.
00:27:49 Hey, this is all bullshit,
00:27:52 dragging you into the Mayflower,
00:27:54 It's working.
00:27:55 -Well, don't let it intimidate you. Okay?
00:27:58 You're gonna be fine.
00:28:01 Miss Armstrong.
00:28:02 Okay, I'll be down in the lobby.
00:28:04 -Okay.
00:28:06 Rachel Alice Armstrong.
00:28:11 Thanks. Okay, Miss Armstrong.
00:28:13 You work as a reporter
00:28:17 Yes.
00:28:19 As the national political correspondent,
00:28:24 -I am, yes. One of them.
00:28:27 Okay, great. I'm batting a thousand.
00:28:30 You wrote an article a few days ago, here,
00:28:34 in which you revealed Erica Van Doren,
00:28:37 married to the former US ambassador,
00:28:41 that she was a covert ClA operative.
00:28:44 I did, yes.
00:28:45 And you feel confident
00:28:49 I do, 100%%.
00:28:53 Who was your source?
00:28:58 -Miss Armstrong...
00:29:01 "l respectfully refuse
00:29:03 "on the grounds
00:29:05 "under the First Amendment
00:29:10 You're aware that anybody
00:29:13 of the identity of a ClA operative
00:29:16 is forbidden by law
00:29:19 I am, yes.
00:29:21 So, who was your source?
00:29:23 I can't reveal my source...
00:29:25 Okay, look, Miss Armstrong.
00:29:29 This is a very serious matter.
00:29:31 I want you to take your time.
00:29:34 We're gonna take a recess
00:29:40 I want you to go home.
00:29:43 I want you to talk to your editor. Okay?
00:29:46 And then I want you to talk to your source.
00:29:50 Mull it over and see if you all think
00:29:54 and then we're gonna reconvene,
00:29:56 and then I'm going to ask you again.
00:30:00 I wouldn't hold your breath.
00:30:01 Well, I'm not the one
00:30:09 Okay, everybody,
00:30:10 we're gonna break it up.
00:30:21 -How long have you been in the ClA?
00:30:24 "'Can I come too?' asked Charlie.
00:30:26 "'l promise to help you catch
00:30:29 "'Come on,' said Ruthie Joe
00:30:31 "So off they went across the bridge..."
00:30:33 My watch says I'm early.
00:30:36 We just feel like this is not the best time
00:30:42 It's just that,
00:30:43 you know, we're really not equipped
00:30:47 Okay.
00:30:49 I think it's idiotic, is what it is.
00:30:52 Maybe if you were to stay away for a while,
00:30:57 I hope we can work this out, Jerry.
00:31:00 I mean, I'm pretty good at it, too.
00:31:03 You are. So...
00:31:05 When were you planning
00:31:10 I don't know. I'm not sure.
00:31:12 I see. Okay.
00:31:18 Are you saying
00:31:21 -How was your lunch?
00:31:24 -Yeah, what'd you have?
00:31:27 Really?
00:31:29 I wish I had your will power.
00:31:32 Your source, Miss Armstrong, who is it?
00:31:41 Hey.
00:31:44 Well? How did it go?
00:31:46 -Okay, I guess.
00:31:48 -Yes.
00:31:50 I have a summons for you
00:31:53 -No, no, no.
00:31:55 Hey!
00:31:58 I'm Avril Aaronson,
00:31:59 -counsel to the Capital Sun Times.
00:32:00 I read your amicus brief
00:32:04 I think you could take credit for her release.
00:32:06 I understand all the theatrics up until now,
00:32:09 This is too fast. This is outrageous,
00:32:11 and we're getting into some pretty serious
00:32:14 Look, Avril, there's a traitor out there
00:32:20 Now, I think we should get somebody
00:32:24 We're bringing in Albert Burnside.
00:32:28 I'll have to go home
00:32:35 Don't worry about it. It's not a problem.
00:32:38 Hi, Avril.
00:32:39 Hey, there he is. Albert, thanks for coming.
00:32:43 -Glad to meet you.
00:32:44 Hey, I'm Ray, Rachel's husband.
00:32:48 Avril said it'd be weeks
00:32:50 Well, Mr. Dubois wants to get this done
00:32:54 It's okay.
00:32:57 Let's concentrate on keeping you out of jail.
00:32:59 Jail? What do you... When?
00:33:01 You're gonna ask for a continuance?
00:33:02 Yeah. Sure. Sure.
00:33:04 Look, I've been through this.
00:33:08 We exchange Christmas cards.
00:33:10 He's certainly not gonna jail you today.
00:33:12 -Jesus Christ.
00:33:13 I mean, if Albert's this calm,
00:33:16 We'll be out of here in five minutes.
00:33:19 Then we'll get a cup of joe
00:33:22 and the constitution and democracy itself
00:33:28 That's a Theory, right?
00:33:30 -Yeah.
00:33:31 Thanks. Nice suit.
00:33:34 It's not a suit. It's a Zegna.
00:33:39 What's that you're wearing?
00:33:43 I don't know.
00:33:46 I'm putting you in touch with my tailor.
00:33:48 You always know when you're in a Zegna.
00:33:51 Court room three.
00:33:52 Your Honor, this morning, Miss Armstrong
00:33:57 I furnished you with the transcripts.
00:33:59 And as you know, she was asked to reveal
00:34:05 quite possibly illegally,
00:34:09 Excuse me, Your Honor. If I may?
00:34:12 Yes.
00:34:13 -All right?
00:34:15 Your Honor, I just met my client.
00:34:18 I ask you to continue this matter for, say,
00:34:22 Let me get my bearings first.
00:34:25 Well, here's how it is, Your Honor.
00:34:26 Mr. Dubois will say that my client was asked
00:34:31 and that she won't do so,
00:34:34 He'll say that the information
00:34:39 and the GJ is entitled to know
00:34:44 He'll also say that there's no
00:34:48 and that there's
00:34:50 because this is a matter of,
00:34:54 Is that about right, Mr. Dubois?
00:34:56 In fact, that's it in a nutshell.
00:34:58 We contend that the First Amendment
00:35:02 I'm well aware of cases in this circuit
00:35:06 Well, I am aware
00:35:09 and they do not authorize her
00:35:14 Why don't the three of you
00:35:16 Rachel, Rachel, come on. Come on up.
00:35:22 Over here to where the bench is.
00:35:25 Miss Armstrong, I want you to understand
00:35:27 that if I should order you
00:35:31 that if you don't do so,
00:35:36 and that you will be jailed until you...
00:35:39 Hold on, Your Honor.
00:35:41 Can you rule, please,
00:35:44 Right. I'm gonna deny that motion.
00:35:47 I'm only asking for a few days, Judge.
00:35:48 I understand.
00:35:50 There's no reason
00:35:53 Let me run my courtroom.
00:35:57 Now, Miss Armstrong, I direct you
00:36:03 If you want a few days to consider it,
00:36:08 I can't do that.
00:36:10 Mr. Burnside, if you want a few days
00:36:13 I can't advise my client
00:36:17 Okay, look, Your Honor,
00:36:18 given the direct threat
00:36:22 I ask that Miss Armstrong
00:36:25 and that she be jailed immediately.
00:36:30 Well, it seems to me that I have before me
00:36:35 and who seems to believe
00:36:40 I hold you in contempt of court,
00:36:42 and I remand you to the custody
00:36:46 -Help.
00:36:48 Wait. No, no. Your Honor. Judge.
00:36:51 -Ma'am.
00:36:52 As soon as you're prepared to speak,
00:36:55 Could I have a minute
00:36:57 You may consult with her
00:36:59 Timmy needs to be picked up
00:37:02 -This proceeding is closed.
00:37:03 Judge. Your Honor!
00:37:07 A lot of people looking to get famous here.
00:37:10 -So now what? What do we do now?
00:37:13 -What are you gonna do now?
00:37:16 All right? Okay?
00:37:18 Well, at least you'll take him
00:37:21 That's right.
00:37:23 -It's a scare tactic.
00:37:26 I'll deal with it.
00:37:27 Okay, I'll head over there.
00:37:30 Mr. Burnside, this is a real honor for me.
00:37:35 I studied you, growing up.
00:37:38 This is a big, big mistake, Patton.
00:37:41 Well, there's nothing like
00:37:43 Yeah, well, sometimes a mistake
00:37:48 and sometimes,
00:38:24 Okay, there are two things I need to know.
00:38:27 -First, the story itself.
00:38:30 Rock solid. Well, are we talking talc
00:38:33 Albert, please.
00:38:35 -if it wasn't...
00:38:37 how many people know the...
00:38:39 How many people at the paper know
00:38:41 We know the corroborating source.
00:38:45 and one of Rachel's sources at the FBl
00:38:48 And why don't you have
00:38:51 Well, for one thing,
00:38:54 and because her story was confirmed,
00:38:57 Well, the good news is,
00:38:59 on something you don't know.
00:39:02 Bosca wallet.
00:39:06 Prada sunglasses.
00:39:09 -You can keep that.
00:39:12 Tape recorder...
00:39:15 I'm gonna need to get your jewelry.
00:39:24 The wedding ring.
00:39:27 I'd like to hold on to those.
00:39:29 It's diamond, baby doll.
00:39:38 Miss Armstrong, come up front, please.
00:39:47 Take a stand in front of the machine, please.
00:39:50 Would you give me your right palm, please?
00:39:54 Take it off. Left, please.
00:39:56 It feels like his only real target
00:39:58 for publishing the article,
00:40:02 Okay, if we've got Armstrong in jail,
00:40:06 Two. The Van Dorens
00:40:09 who worked with her
00:40:13 Jeez, could we turn this guy off?
00:40:18 Better.
00:40:19 You know, that's the only thing
00:40:24 is the media, getting them to turn her
00:40:28 We can't allow that to affect us.
00:40:31 Well, under the Branzburg case,
00:40:34 Even if they point out
00:40:36 any other possible sources
00:40:38 Yeah. No,
00:40:42 -Sit still for the camera.
00:40:44 our goal, is not to...
00:40:48 I want to let her go.
00:40:50 That means we have got our source
00:40:53 and, frankly, that's all I care about.
00:40:56 Sit as still as you can,
00:40:58 Answer with the word "yes"
00:41:01 Is your name Erica Van Doren?
00:41:04 Yes.
00:41:06 -Were you born in Ossining, New York?
00:41:13 Have you ever lied
00:41:16 No.
00:41:20 Did you reveal to Ms. Armstrong
00:41:25 You gotta know a few rules.
00:41:26 First, ain't no smoking
00:41:30 Cigarettes are contraband.
00:41:32 No drugs, no fighting.
00:41:37 -What's that?
00:41:40 In the movies, they call it the hole.
00:41:43 I'm taking you to the spillover room.
00:41:48 What are you, a doorman? Get out of here.
00:41:50 -Come on. Let me out.
00:42:00 And ain't no fucking.
00:42:03 No kind of sex at all.
00:42:08 If you're here for more than eight months,
00:42:13 Here you go.
00:42:14 But the turnover here is normally two weeks.
00:42:18 Hey!
00:42:20 Hey!
00:42:22 -What's your name?
00:42:24 -Olivia what?
00:42:26 -Well, Olivia James, this is Rachel...
00:42:29 Rachel Armstrong, your new bunkie.
00:42:32 And show her how to make the bed.
00:42:34 There you go.
00:42:35 Lights out in an hour.
00:42:38 Okay. Excuse me.
00:42:41 Is there any way
00:42:43 No. But if you wanna watch the news,
00:42:55 -On his birthday, who was driving...
00:42:57 -I don't care.
00:43:03 That's just sad.
00:43:22 Are you one of those
00:43:25 You know, they teach you that at Langley?
00:43:29 Kicked ass, didn't l?
00:43:35 Who do you think spoke to her?
00:43:38 God damn it. I don't know!
00:43:44 But when you figure it out,
00:43:45 just give me five minutes
00:43:49 Well, it's been my experience
00:43:53 Right. She's never had her Vassar ass in jail.
00:43:57 I don't know. I met her.
00:44:01 She's a water-walker.
00:44:23 I wish we had the cookies, though.
00:44:26 Those were pretty good.
00:44:28 -Hey. Hey.
00:44:30 Guess who's here?
00:44:31 Little man wanted to say hey,
00:44:34 All right. Here he is.
00:44:35 Say hi.
00:44:37 -Hey, baby. Hi.
00:44:41 Hey. Why don't you tell Mommy
00:44:44 -Mom.
00:44:46 We brought you some cookies,
00:44:49 No way.
00:44:51 Well, maybe they'll let me have them later
00:44:56 -Dad made them.
00:45:01 Hey,
00:45:03 I'm gonna be okay, sweetie.
00:45:08 Hey, how was your spelling test?
00:45:10 It was okay, I guess.
00:45:12 I bet you aced it.
00:45:13 Practiced really hard, didn't you?
00:45:17 -Yeah.
00:45:20 Hand the phone to your dad, okay?
00:45:24 -Hey.
00:45:27 Hey. How are you?
00:45:29 -I'm fine.
00:45:32 Yeah, I'm fine.
00:45:34 -This is not a good place for him.
00:45:37 He's freaking out.
00:45:38 He wanted to see you. What do you mean?
00:45:43 Well, of course he wanted to see me. But...
00:45:46 -I mean, I'm really serious about this, Ray.
00:45:48 I'm not gonna be here forever.
00:45:49 -It's a couple of days. It's a few days.
00:45:55 So what is going on in the news?
00:45:56 -I haven't heard a thing.
00:45:58 No, there's no newspapers in here.
00:46:00 The TV is perpetually
00:46:03 Well, your jailing, your stance,
00:46:07 it's in every newspaper, on every channel.
00:46:09 No, no, no. I mean with the President.
00:46:12 No, same thing. Same as always.
00:46:15 "The White House refuses
00:46:18 What else are they going to say? Right?
00:46:20 I mean, the President, he's not making
00:46:27 Hey, listen, I was thinking...
00:46:31 I mean, if this gets crazy, crazier,
00:46:37 maybe you should tell me who it is.
00:46:39 And that way, I can maybe talk to the guy.
00:46:41 I don't know,
00:46:44 -Ray.
00:46:46 I've never asked you, not once.
00:46:50 But this is... This is getting crazy.
00:46:53 Okay, let's not go there. At all.
00:46:57 -You don't trust me?
00:46:59 You don't trust me?
00:47:02 -ls it... What is...
00:47:09 Okay. I miss you.
00:47:12 I miss you, too.
00:47:16 -Hey, can you hear me?
00:47:18 Okay. I need you to make your bed
00:47:21 I need at least one responsible male
00:47:24 -Okay? Don't tell Daddy I said that, okay?
00:47:35 She can't hear you, buddy. Okay?
00:47:55 All rise. Hear ye, hear ye.
00:47:57 -Armstrong. Let's go.
00:47:59 with the United States District Court
00:48:03 Give your attention and you shall be heard.
00:48:14 Mr. Burnside, your client is here now,
00:48:19 Thank you, sir.
00:48:21 Your Honor, I would ask
00:48:24 until such time as
00:48:27 on the validity of this contempt citation.
00:48:29 Now that would vitiate the whole purpose
00:48:31 of her incarceration in the first place.
00:48:34 She has the key to her own cell.
00:48:36 A key that comes in the form
00:48:40 Integrity is subjective.
00:48:42 Miss Armstrong, I'm sympathetic,
00:48:45 Will you represent to me that if you're home
00:48:48 that you'll pick up the phone
00:48:52 and try to get permission
00:48:56 so we can put an end to all of this?
00:48:58 I would be dishonest
00:49:01 Well, then, you're really not
00:49:03 The motion is denied.
00:49:05 Sir, I would ask that the court now
00:49:09 impose a fine of $10,000 a day
00:49:13 until such time
00:49:16 Your Honor,
00:49:18 with all due respect to you,
00:49:20 we don't know who her source is.
00:49:22 I don't see
00:49:23 Sir, obviously,
00:49:27 obviously, the paper not only supports,
00:49:30 but is encouraging
00:49:33 They're enabling her.
00:49:35 The Sun Times should be obliged
00:49:39 and dismiss Miss Armstrong if she does not.
00:49:41 That is out of line!
00:49:43 Your Honor, respectfully,
00:50:04 Don't even think of buckling.
00:50:09 You pay the fine,
00:50:10 and you let Rachel hold strong,
00:50:18 You didn't need to say that.
00:50:37 Such a beautiful day.
00:50:39 -I like coming here.
00:50:41 -lt reminds me why we do what we do.
00:50:44 You know,
00:50:46 I feel it best that we not meet at Langley
00:50:49 -for the time being.
00:50:51 Yeah. You know,
00:50:53 I've been wanting to speak to you
00:50:56 You know, I was hoping I'd convince you
00:50:58 to give me a crack at the CBD
00:51:02 -There's other business to attend to first.
00:51:05 Erica, we've investigated
00:51:07 all of those people
00:51:09 We've looked at phone records,
00:51:13 -We're dead ending here.
00:51:14 So far, the reporter is in jail and not talking.
00:51:17 It's essential we find out
00:51:21 I know. I understand. You know,
00:51:24 You know, we don't know if this person
00:51:28 so can I just pick your brain a little bit?
00:51:30 Yeah, of course. Please.
00:51:32 -Ask me whatever you want.
00:51:36 Knowingly?
00:51:38 when she confronted me.
00:51:40 And you're both volunteers at
00:51:44 I am. Well, no, I'm not.
00:51:49 but she was a room mother there, she said.
00:51:51 You never met
00:51:53 -No.
00:51:56 You guys never perhaps
00:51:59 No. No.
00:52:00 Ever go to a school event
00:52:05 What? What?
00:52:08 You know, when my wife
00:52:09 those let-your-hair-down things,
00:52:13 my God, I can't tell you the things she said
00:52:17 Sir, wait.
00:52:21 Are you still investigating me?
00:52:24 -Well...
00:52:26 Well, given your training,
00:52:28 It is a clinical investigation.
00:52:33 I don't need to take it personally?
00:52:35 "We think that you're either incompetent,
00:52:38 "but you don't need to take it personally."
00:52:43 How dare you?
00:52:46 -How fucking dare you?
00:52:47 -you need to watch your tone here, Erica.
00:52:50 What, in my absolutely unblemished record,
00:52:53 "Yeah, yeah, that's somebody
00:52:56 -What?
00:53:01 You've been a NOC for so many years,
00:53:03 there are very few people
00:53:05 Okay, well, you know what?
00:53:07 I know your type. I see where this is going.
00:53:11 You know, if somebody
00:53:13 somebody messed up, gave me up
00:53:15 and now you guys are walking around
00:53:18 You're just aching for it to be me. I see it.
00:53:21 This way you can tell the press,
00:53:24 "lt is just some silly little girl
00:53:28 "that her investigative
00:53:30 "by the President of the United States."
00:53:31 Findings that absolved Venezuela
00:53:33 from having anything at all to do
00:53:37 -Now you're being dramatic, Erica.
00:53:39 You know what?
00:53:42 You can drop my protective detail.
00:53:44 You can stop cutting me checks. Okay?
00:53:47 You don't just quit, Erica.
00:53:48 Really? What is this, The Sopranos?
00:53:52 Well, it's a process.
00:53:56 You don't trust me? Fine, okay.
00:53:59 I'm gonna give you reason not to. Okay?
00:54:02 My husband's not the only one
00:54:05 Look, you sure you want to get
00:54:08 Do you need the messiness?
00:54:10 You're in the middle
00:54:11 You sure you want to drag Allison
00:54:16 You are so lucky you are a woman.
00:54:19 Why is that?
00:54:20 Because I don't hit girls.
00:54:22 You know, you weren't the only agent
00:54:28 but you were the only one that concluded
00:54:30 that they were not involved
00:54:33 Yours is not the only report
00:54:38 I wish you the very best of luck
00:54:43 I hope you get to see her again.
00:54:49 Thank you.
00:55:16 Yeah, watch this.
00:55:24 If there was enough money in the world,
00:55:28 Honey, if there was enough money
00:55:31 -in the first place.
00:55:39 What's that?
00:55:40 A Christmas present from my son.
00:55:42 -How old is he?
00:55:44 Shit, ain't nobody in the whole world
00:55:49 I'm moving in.
00:55:50 That fat piece of shit over there
00:55:53 About to turn my carjacking beef
00:55:56 Well, welcome to the neighborhood.
00:56:02 Congratulations, everyone.
00:56:10 For investigative reporting.
00:56:22 Yo, Armstrong.
00:56:24 A message for you
00:56:27 I just took it for you.
00:56:31 "Armstrong - you are for the
00:56:33 So you won something, huh?
00:56:36 I ain't never won nothing.
00:56:39 -Thanks.
00:56:42 How was school today?
00:56:43 -Okay, I guess.
00:56:46 -What was the best part?
00:56:50 Hey, I won an award.
00:56:55 A big one, for being a good reporter.
00:56:58 -That's nice.
00:57:01 was you 'cause you're my most special guy.
00:57:11 -You want to put your dad back on?
00:57:13 Okay.
00:57:19 Hey, he really misses you.
00:57:22 -Really?
00:57:26 Yeah. You told me, remember?
00:57:30 That's not that...
00:57:35 Everyone to your bunk! Shake down!
00:57:38 Lock your hands behind your head.
00:57:41 Come on, Armstrong, let's get to your bunk.
00:57:43 Lock your hands behind your head.
00:57:46 -Let's go!
00:57:48 I can find your head by your bunks.
00:57:50 -Move!
00:57:51 Get to your racks now!
00:57:57 What is you doing, Miss Jones?
00:58:03 You know this is not allowed in here.
00:58:07 Sorry.
00:58:09 You been taking these
00:58:17 More contraband.
00:58:32 Hey, that's personal stuff.
00:58:34 Can I have that back? What the fuck is this?
00:58:37 -What did you say?
00:58:39 Get back to your bunk!
00:58:41 You hold that noise, ma'am,
00:58:45 You understand me?
00:58:48 Lock your hands behind your head.
00:58:54 Deseg for you.
00:59:00 Fuck.
00:59:23 Well, it's amazing news about the Pulitzer.
00:59:27 Yeah. No, that's great. I just...
00:59:29 I'm not surprised Tom Williams got it.
00:59:33 The President is so popular,
00:59:35 Well, we're all proud of you.
00:59:38 No, I know. Thanks.
00:59:40 I'm sorry.
00:59:42 They took my journal, my notes,
00:59:46 I can't write, and it's driving me nuts.
00:59:48 They took my pen.
00:59:51 I was wondering if you could possibly
00:59:53 write an editorial or something,
00:59:56 Yeah, of course.
00:59:58 Thank you.
01:00:01 So, look,
01:00:03 Molly Meyers wants to interview you.
01:00:06 What? Why? I'm not anorexic.
01:00:09 I'm not in rehab.
01:00:13 Human interest, I guess.
01:00:14 Look, she's a journalist.
01:00:18 The top dogs are really pushing for it.
01:00:21 It's like you said,
01:00:24 We're losing traction.
01:00:26 The government isn't feeling
01:00:28 And the fines
01:00:31 -I get it. Say hi to Avril...
01:00:33 We just need to get you out in front again,
01:00:38 Molly Meyers will get the eyeballs on you.
01:00:42 So?
01:00:43 Okay. But it's gotta be live.
01:00:45 She's not gonna edit me
01:00:48 -Absolutely.
01:00:52 All right.
01:00:54 What are you wearing?
01:00:56 It's a wonderful watch.
01:00:58 No, it's not a watch. It's jewelry.
01:01:01 I'm suddenly nuts about this de Grisogono.
01:01:05 -All different sizes. Isn't that nice?
01:01:08 -Ready, Molly.
01:01:13 Okay. They're telling me
01:01:18 It's gonna be serious.
01:01:19 -Really?
01:01:21 This will be your moment, not hers.
01:01:26 Here you go.
01:01:27 -Rachel, hi. I'm Molly Meyers.
01:01:32 I interviewed with you
01:01:34 Oh, no kidding.
01:01:36 We are not going to have time for this.
01:01:38 If you have time for the ldentities Act. Great.
01:01:42 -That's fine.
01:01:44 All right.
01:01:48 -And congratulations on the Pulitzer.
01:01:52 -Well, bravo. We're all with you.
01:01:56 Of course, I can't say it on the air.
01:01:58 All right, ready?
01:02:00 -You know we're live?
01:02:05 Thank you, Todd.
01:02:06 Rachel Armstrong, thank you for joining us.
01:02:10 Rachel, you have been here
01:02:13 How are you feeling?
01:02:16 Well, physically I feel fine.
01:02:19 I don't get the exercise that I need,
01:02:24 You know, I look at you and I get this
01:02:29 Vassar girl, Columbia Journalism,
01:02:34 How Twilight Zone-ish is this for you?
01:02:37 I must say, when I wake up in the morning,
01:02:40 it does take me a few seconds
01:02:42 I mean, I haven't grown accustomed to it.
01:02:47 You're married to the novelist,
01:02:52 How is the marriage holding up?
01:02:54 -Well, obviously, it puts pressure...
01:02:57 It is hard. But we're strong.
01:03:00 You know, he's very supportive of me,
01:03:07 And what about your son? Timothy.
01:03:12 When was the last time you saw him?
01:03:16 It's been a long time.
01:03:19 How long?
01:03:25 He came to see me
01:03:29 but I have asked
01:03:34 Well, that must be brutal.
01:03:36 Most mothers, though, are going to have
01:03:40 I guess I would have, too,
01:03:44 but most mothers would have no idea
01:03:46 unless they were in my position.
01:03:52 The truth is,
01:03:56 You know, it would be for me.
01:04:01 And I do wonder a lot if I can survive
01:04:08 but I know Timmy,
01:04:12 and I saw the look in his eyes
01:04:17 and I know the damage that it would do
01:04:22 to see his mother in this place, caged up.
01:04:26 So, you know, I can't do that to him.
01:04:30 Rachel, let's get to the meat of it,
01:04:35 On your story, on uncovering the identity
01:04:41 who was your source?
01:04:44 Well, Molly, let me ask you.
01:04:48 Try to get a fellow journalist
01:04:51 I know you know better than that.
01:04:55 Before the cameras rolled, you said
01:04:58 Look, I have empathy.
01:05:01 But you know what?
01:05:03 Right, okay.
01:05:04 If the information
01:05:08 Iike with Watergate or the Pentagon Papers,
01:05:12 Any real journalist would be prepared
01:05:16 to protect their principle.
01:05:19 I know you say
01:05:21 as if you're saying,
01:05:26 and you're never gonna have to worry about
01:05:28 -the government coming after you.
01:05:31 Because the government really doesn't care
01:05:33 how you found out
01:05:38 That's my bunkie right there, y'all.
01:06:03 Ray.
01:06:05 Hey. Hey, Albert. Hey.
01:06:08 Hi, I'm Albert Burnside.
01:06:11 -Hi, I'm Gretchen Monroy.
01:06:15 -So, did you see the Molly Meyers thing?
01:06:18 -Rachel was real terrific. It was great.
01:06:24 -I'll catch up with you.
01:06:27 Nice to meet you.
01:06:32 -Look, Albert.
01:06:34 No, no, no. No, you don't.
01:06:35 There are things about us
01:06:37 -When you say "us"?
01:06:43 Look, Ray, if you can sleep at night,
01:06:49 She made a choice.
01:06:52 -Choices have consequences.
01:06:56 felt like she had a choice in this,
01:07:02 Well, you can tell her or not.
01:07:08 Keep up the good work.
01:07:28 Excuse me, ma'am. Excuse me.
01:07:31 -That's okay.
01:07:35 Stein residence?
01:07:39 You know, I don't know.
01:07:43 Harv and Sheila?
01:07:45 Harv and Sheila...
01:07:49 Oh, God.
01:08:23 Rachel?
01:08:26 Who do you have working the story?
01:08:29 Evans and Merkow.
01:08:31 The shooter belonged
01:08:34 I guess he thought Erica had it in
01:08:38 Name's Alan Murphy. He's nuts and stupid.
01:08:42 Drove his own car to the murder site,
01:08:47 Once she resigned from the ClA,
01:08:51 God, this is so crazy.
01:08:55 Evans and Merkow will want to get
01:09:04 I know. I get it. It's okay.
01:09:08 It's okay.
01:09:12 -How's Allison doing?
01:09:17 Erica's daughter.
01:09:20 -Bonnie...
01:09:28 Am I doing the right thing?
01:09:34 What's the problem?
01:09:37 Judge wants to see her.
01:09:58 The President now seems to feel
01:10:02 He wants to get
01:10:08 What happened is terrible,
01:10:13 -but it hasn't changed my position.
01:10:17 I have here copies of waivers
01:10:21 that have been signed
01:10:28 It authorizes you, gives you permission
01:10:31 to reveal their names
01:10:36 It's a blanket waiver.
01:10:39 That should do it for you.
01:10:42 Have a look. See if your source has signed.
01:10:44 -These people were obviously coerced.
01:10:47 These people have signed
01:10:50 Yeah, if you don't sign these,
01:10:54 we'll investigate you,
01:11:00 I'm not even going to look at them, Judge.
01:11:10 -Anybody want some tea?
01:11:12 -No, thank you.
01:11:22 What are we going to do with you?
01:11:25 This has gotten to the point now
01:11:30 and is telling me that I'm some sort of bully.
01:11:34 Well, you're not gonna get
01:11:37 Your Honor,
01:11:47 You think I should look at the waivers.
01:11:58 A man can live a good life,
01:12:05 but in the end, the number of people
01:12:08 is generally dependent on the weather.
01:12:14 What? I'm sorry. I'm not following.
01:12:17 The weather has changed, Rachel.
01:12:25 In the old days,
01:12:28 The public would have called you a hero.
01:12:30 But I don't know,
01:12:33 The press stopped being the white knight,
01:12:37 That's the way people see it.
01:12:39 You want to know why no paper
01:12:44 has continued covering your story?
01:12:48 Why don't you tell me?
01:12:49 Because your 48-hour news cycle
01:12:55 I mean, look at you, Rachel.
01:12:58 -Your kid is growing up without you...
01:13:01 -It's not fair. Okay. I'm a good mother.
01:13:05 Look, you may not
01:13:07 -but I do. You want to know why?
01:13:09 Because I'm defending Rachel Armstrong,
01:13:19 A man leaves his family to go to jail
01:13:24 and they name a holiday after him.
01:13:27 A man leaves his children
01:13:30 and they erect a monument to him.
01:13:32 A woman does the same thing,
01:13:37 If we back down,
01:13:39 "Trust reporters as long as
01:13:44 The truth is, if I had known that
01:13:48 would have separated me from Timmy,
01:13:52 But here we are. The story's been published,
01:13:55 and the path has been chosen,
01:13:59 and in the end, my son will be fine.
01:14:03 You know, Ray is a great father,
01:14:08 but that will not be the case with my source.
01:14:11 My source will be publicly saddled
01:14:15 and that, I promise you,
01:14:17 will mean the destruction
01:14:19 and that, Albert, that is not fair.
01:14:23 Why?
01:14:25 I mean, your source knew full well
01:14:34 My source didn't know what they were doing
01:14:38 when I got the information.
01:14:42 -Was he drunk? Was he talking in his sleep?
01:14:48 We're trying to swim
01:14:50 We have a responsibility to the shareholders
01:14:52 If you're so worried about that,
01:14:55 -How about that?
01:15:00 Come in.
01:15:01 Okay. I just got off the phone.
01:15:07 Stan Riggens has agreed
01:15:11 I guess signing that waiver spooked him.
01:15:14 Stan?
01:15:17 -I owe that kid in my office 10 bucks.
01:15:21 As soon as possible.
01:15:25 Once he confirms he was your source,
01:15:28 Pack your bags, Rachel.
01:15:33 You were chief of staff to the Vice President.
01:15:36 I resigned 11 months ago.
01:15:39 And were you
01:15:43 on the October 6th edition
01:15:47 in which the identity
01:15:52 I was.
01:15:54 Can you tell us all how that came about?
01:15:59 Well, I guess I was just so angry
01:16:04 -my emotions got the better of me.
01:16:09 I want to know how
01:16:14 I was at a party.
01:16:15 ...you guys, it's muddy right here.
01:16:16 I had been drinking.
01:16:23 Stan.
01:16:26 Hello there, young-ish lady. How are you?
01:16:29 Can I get a beer, please? Good. Great.
01:16:33 They're cute now, but they grow up.
01:16:37 So I've been reading.
01:16:39 So I heard Glen invited you.
01:16:42 Yeah, and you thought,
01:16:47 That is exactly what I thought.
01:16:53 -Can I ask you a question?
01:16:56 Ambassador Van Doren.
01:16:57 -What about him?
01:16:59 Is she a spook, Stan?
01:17:06 Come here.
01:17:11 -Now, look, you did not hear this from me.
01:17:16 -Not from me.
01:17:18 But, everybody knows she's at the ClA.
01:17:23 But you can't use that.
01:17:24 Hey, I won't say it came from you,
01:17:30 Screw it.
01:17:32 Everybody knows anyway.
01:17:36 Do you know if she happened
01:17:39 Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
01:17:41 She came to you
01:17:49 She already knew.
01:17:51 That's right.
01:17:53 They're not satisfied with Riggens.
01:17:55 He was just your corroborative source.
01:17:57 So was the FBl guy
01:18:01 They still want the original source,
01:18:05 Well, how much longer can this go on?
01:18:08 It's seven months or so before
01:18:12 and then Dubois
01:18:14 I can't...
01:18:29 I'm gonna have to tell the Warden I did this.
01:18:34 Look,
01:18:42 if you're gonna be here
01:18:44 then you should know, in every way
01:18:50 how this will affect you.
01:20:04 Albert told me.
01:20:13 Well, do I get any details?
01:20:19 Details? Yeah.
01:20:23 The details are you're in here,
01:20:26 and whatever it is keeping you in here
01:20:28 is more important to you
01:20:35 -Well, how long have you been seeing her?
01:20:40 -Do you love her?
01:20:43 You don't know?
01:20:44 It's only been a few weeks.
01:20:48 -What do you do with Timmy?
01:20:51 When you're fucking her,
01:20:55 He's with a sitter when we go out.
01:20:58 -Has he met her?
01:21:01 -Do I know her?
01:21:05 -She lives in Maryland...
01:21:07 -I don't want to hear any more.
01:21:09 Ray, I know this is impossible for all of us.
01:21:13 I get it. You're lonely. I'm lonely.
01:21:18 Look, all you have to do to keep me,
01:21:20 to keep my respect,
01:21:24 That you love me, and that...
01:21:42 I'd like to see Timmy now.
01:21:46 Something you should know is
01:21:49 All right, don't patronize me. Okay?
01:21:55 -That's it.
01:21:57 I'll see what we can do.
01:21:59 They don't allow visitation
01:22:02 and his school routine is pretty locked in.
01:22:06 So, now, on top of everything else,
01:22:07 you're gonna try and keep my son from me?
01:22:09 -No. No, it's not like that.
01:22:12 It's not like you're cheating on your wife
01:22:13 -while she is fucking rotting in jail?
01:22:15 -Rache.
01:22:17 -Fuck you!
01:22:18 -Fuck off!
01:22:24 Go to hell!
01:22:26 It's okay.
01:22:28 Really, this is how you want...
01:22:32 You know what? Thanks for the fuck, Ray!
01:22:37 Right, 'cause you're the only one
01:23:01 Hey.
01:23:03 What the fuck is your problem?
01:23:06 -You're in my bunk.
01:23:12 -Hey. That's my stuff! Stop it!
01:23:14 -Hey!
01:23:18 -Go get a new bunk!
01:23:21 This is not your bunk!
01:23:23 That ain't right.
01:23:24 You want the bunk? Your bunk?
01:23:28 You want that bunk?
01:23:39 You want your fucking bunk now, huh?
01:23:43 Yeah.
01:23:55 Come on, leave her alone.
01:24:01 Get down! Get down! Get down!
01:24:13 Oh, God.
01:24:17 What happened?
01:24:20 I got the shit kicked out of me, Albert.
01:24:23 How? What? Over what?
01:24:26 -We both wanted the top bunk.
01:24:31 Well, you've always known
01:24:40 Are the doctors saying
01:24:43 Yeah. Whatever that means.
01:24:51 You know,
01:24:58 I've had 32 different bunk mates
01:25:03 I gotta say, that's a record.
01:25:11 Is that a new tie?
01:25:13 No, I've had it a while. Domenico Vacca.
01:25:17 -I took you for a Kenneth Cole man.
01:25:23 Well, I'm glad you retained
01:25:30 You look like a woman
01:25:35 It's great news.
01:25:41 They've agreed.
01:25:44 It's gonna be an expedited hearing.
01:25:52 The next case this morning
01:25:55 We'll hear first from Mr. Burnside.
01:26:01 Mr. Chief Justice,
01:26:05 In 1972 in Branzburg V. Hayes,
01:26:08 this court ruled
01:26:13 to withhold the names of their sources
01:26:17 and it gave the power to the government
01:26:21 to imprison those reporters who did.
01:26:25 It was a five-four decision. Close.
01:26:29 In his dissent in Branzburg,
01:26:32 "As the years pass,
01:26:35 "the power of government
01:26:39 "Those in power," he said,
01:26:43 "want only to perpetuate it
01:26:47 "and the people are the victims."
01:26:50 Well, the years have passed,
01:26:56 Ms. Armstrong could have buckled
01:27:00 She could have abandoned
01:27:02 She could have simply
01:27:06 But to do so
01:27:09 would mean that no source
01:27:12 and no source would ever speak
01:27:16 and then tomorrow when we lock up
01:27:22 we'll make those publications
01:27:27 and thus we'll make the First Amendment
01:27:32 And then how will we know
01:27:36 Or if an army officer has condoned torture?
01:27:42 We, as a nation, will no longer be able
01:27:48 to those whom they have power over.
01:27:52 And what then is the nature of government
01:27:56 when it has no fear of accountability?
01:28:01 We should shudder at the thought.
01:28:05 Imprisoning journalists?
01:28:10 That's for countries who fear their citizens,
01:28:15 not countries that cherish and protect them.
01:28:22 Some time ago,
01:28:23 I began to feel the personal
01:28:33 and I told her that I was there
01:28:45 And it was not until I met her
01:28:53 there's no difference
01:29:12 Come on. I got new digs for you.
01:29:17 -You know, they brought him out here...
01:29:21 He's not a real person here.
01:29:22 -Soccer isn't a real thing here.
01:29:25 -Judge, good afternoon.
01:29:28 Good afternoon, thanks for coming over.
01:29:31 Mr. Burnside.
01:29:33 We're talking about soccer not law.
01:29:37 Look, the reason I asked
01:29:40 is that the Supremes
01:29:44 The ruling will be down on Monday,
01:29:46 but I've been told by a confidential source
01:29:50 and I wanted to share it with you.
01:29:53 Five-four, opinion against you, Albert.
01:29:57 Same as before.
01:30:01 the court went with national security.
01:30:05 And I want to say to you, Patton,
01:30:08 The court once again
01:30:10 has made clear that in a case
01:30:15 they may have to be incarcerated.
01:30:17 Well, thank you, sir.
01:30:21 That having been said,
01:30:24 I've decided to let her go.
01:30:30 I'm sorry, sir. What?
01:30:33 I've gotta let her go.
01:30:37 and I am sure that this woman
01:30:42 She's been locked up for almost a year.
01:30:45 She has been beaten
01:30:48 -She is resolute.
01:30:52 I can only keep her in jail if I think doing so
01:30:57 She's not going to talk.
01:31:01 If I may. This is a...
01:31:03 This is a woman
01:31:07 -That makes her a criminal.
01:31:12 and she won't be a criminal
01:31:13 unless she is duly charged
01:31:18 and that's not my call.
01:31:21 When are you gonna sign the paperwork,
01:31:23 I want to get her out of there right away.
01:31:24 I'm gonna go to court Monday morning.
01:31:25 I'm gonna announce that I'm freeing her.
01:31:29 And, Patton, you got a choice.
01:31:31 Just dissolve the grand jury.
01:31:36 As I'm sure your attorney has informed you,
01:31:38 the grand jury has been disbanded.
01:31:41 We're gonna have to
01:31:43 Midnight?
01:31:45 What? You're keeping the reporters
01:31:49 Rachel, I know almost all of it.
01:31:54 I am indicting two government officials
01:31:58 I wish I knew who it was
01:32:02 but I'm not gonna get greedy.
01:32:08 I'm losing custody of my kid.
01:32:13 You want the wedding ring?
01:32:15 Kind of a trophy.
01:32:19 You know, vilify me if you want, Rachel,
01:32:22 but I had a job to do,
01:32:28 I think you're confusing your rights
01:32:45 It's okay.
01:32:51 We booked you a room at the Mayflower,
01:32:53 but you know you're welcome
01:32:57 -Thank you. Thanks.
01:33:01 I spoke to Ray.
01:33:03 He's gonna bring Timmy by
01:33:05 Thought maybe
01:33:08 Yeah.
01:33:12 -That's okay?
01:33:15 That'd be amazing.
01:33:17 God, I'm gonna scare him to death, though.
01:33:23 And, well, you let me know
01:33:28 You can if you want to.
01:33:29 No one's going to pressure you
01:33:36 Oh, please.
01:33:37 Rachel, look in the glove,
01:33:38 hand me the insurance and registration,
01:33:41 I was only going 30.
01:33:55 Ma'am, would you please
01:33:57 -What's going on?
01:34:00 Not you, ma'am.
01:34:02 -Are you kidding me?
01:34:04 -What's the problem, sir?
01:34:07 -What do you want?
01:34:09 -What is it? What are you doing?
01:34:14 Rachel, I'm sorry that it's come to this.
01:34:16 -What is going on?
01:34:17 Rachel, you're being charged with...
01:34:19 -What's going on here?
01:34:21 You're being charged
01:34:23 What does that mean?
01:34:24 Well, it means you have obstructed justice,
01:34:28 -Come on. Let's go.
01:34:34 God damn it.
01:34:41 Oh, no. God.
01:34:44 Dubois! Dubois!
01:34:48 Rachel, you're looking
01:34:51 for impeding a federal investigation,
01:34:54 but I don't wanna go to trial.
01:34:57 So, I want to give you a chance
01:35:00 I want you to look in my eyes
01:35:05 Use your reporter's instincts. Okay?
01:35:10 -I'm gonna offer you two years.
01:35:14 No, it's gonna be suspended sentence,
01:35:19 You have to respect
01:35:20 Albert, two years is not
01:35:25 but it's not as bad, either.
01:35:28 Because you're guilty, Miss Armstrong.
01:35:31 and if you want to waltz
01:35:37 trust me, you're gonna see something
01:35:41 Because this polite,
01:35:45 is gonna give way
01:35:48 that you can't even begin to imagine.
01:35:51 That jury is gonna hear
01:35:54 about a country
01:35:58 a husband widowed, and a little girl
01:36:02 because you wanted to chase
01:36:08 So, if you force me to take you to trial,
01:36:12 I'm gonna make sure
01:36:14 -for your son's high school graduation.
01:36:20 So, what's it gonna be, Rachel?
01:36:28 If I agree to this, there is one thing I need.
01:36:33 Oh, my God. You have gotten so handsome.
01:36:36 You're a real little man.
01:36:38 I'll bet you got all the girls
01:36:41 No.
01:36:42 No? Well, you will.
01:36:45 I don't care. Whatever.
01:36:48 Hey, I kind of like your hair this way.
01:36:53 -Look, I know you're mad at me.
01:36:57 Well, I think you are,
01:37:02 -I'd be mad at me, too.
01:37:04 Okay.
01:37:06 Look, kiddo,
01:37:09 If I'd known it was gonna go on this long,
01:37:10 I would have done things differently.
01:37:12 I would have let you see me
01:37:18 I am so sorry.
01:37:21 Dad says you could have
01:37:24 Well, your dad is wrong.
01:37:30 -Look, kiddo...
01:37:32 Okay, you know what? You can pretend
01:37:35 and I can pretend to believe it,
01:37:39 but I love you,
01:37:41 and I think about you
01:37:45 Okay?
01:37:47 Dad says you're going to prison.
01:37:50 -I am.
01:37:54 No. This is jail.
01:37:55 Jail is where you go
01:37:57 and then you go to prison.
01:38:00 And what's your punishment?
01:38:03 -Two years.
01:38:06 Yeah. But if I'm well-behaved,
01:38:11 So...
01:38:12 Is it dangerous there?
01:38:15 You know what?
01:38:19 I'll be okay.
01:38:25 Okay. I'm kind of busy, but I'll try.
01:38:30 I think we should go now,
01:38:33 Hey, hey, how about a kiss? Just one.
01:39:02 Bye.
01:39:59 You're a tattletale!
01:40:01 -I am not!
01:40:03 That's because he won't stop.
01:40:06 -You're a tattletale.
01:40:09 -That's enough.
01:40:11 Well, you're not supposed
01:40:16 Come on. Come on.
01:40:20 Are you a writer or something?
01:40:22 Yeah, I'm a reporter.
01:40:26 We get that newspaper.
01:40:27 Oh, yeah?
01:40:29 -The lnternet is killing us.
01:40:34 -About 18 hours, Timmy.
01:40:38 I don't know. I don't know.
01:40:43 My daddy is a writer.
01:40:45 -He is? What does he write?
01:40:48 though my mom doesn't really like
01:40:52 -What's he write about?
01:40:56 -What's your last name?
01:41:00 Why doesn't your mommy
01:41:03 I heard her yelling at Daddy once.
01:41:05 'Cause he used her secret stuff,
01:41:08 -What she found out?
01:41:12 Why was your mom in Venezuela?
01:41:16 No, she was working.
01:41:19 -Working?
01:41:23 But don't tell anybody
01:41:30 You bet.
