00:00This is the famous Michael Finkel of the New York Times.
00:11I think after three years you can call me Mike.
00:14You gonna give yourself a day off now?
00:15I'm actually going into the office.
00:17Come home soon.
00:18I love you.
00:19This article was about saving young people's lives.
00:22You said write it up.
00:23I said write it up, not make it up.
00:25I did the best with what I had.
00:27You have a future ahead of you, Mike, but not here.
00:33You know, to be honest, I'm relieved it's over with the Times.
00:37You turn into a real prick working for them.
00:41Hello?
00:42Hi, I'm a reporter with the Oregonian.
00:44I wanted to get your side on the Christian Longo story.
00:47Who?
00:48He murdered his entire family.
00:49Why are you telling me this?
00:50Because when they apprehended him, he said he was Mike Finkel of the New York Times.
00:57Did he say anything at all about why he claimed to be me?
01:00I hoped you might be able to tell me that.
01:02He was just a regular guy, an intelligent, sane man.
01:05He comes home one night and feels his wife and gets it.
01:07It makes no sense.
01:10Thank you for seeing me, Mr. Longo.
01:12Call me Chris.
01:13So, why me?
01:15I followed your whole career.
01:16I guess I felt like I knew you.
01:18I want to tell you my side of this.
01:20Only you.
01:21Maybe at this point it doesn't matter.
01:23The truth always matters.
01:25It always seems to matter to you.
01:27This is a once-in-a-lifetime story.
01:29Don't you see this as a second chance?
01:31You're an outcast.
01:33That's not the man I wanted to be.
01:34None of us is the man he wants to be.
01:39Hello?
01:40Jill, hey.
01:41It's nice to meet you.
01:43Chris?
01:44You know, Mike, he's been a real friend to me.
01:46I just hoped that we could be friends too.
01:48I believe we're dealing with an exceptionally dangerous man.
01:53You had a choice of so many stories to tell, and you chose his.
01:56Actually, he picked me.
01:58He didn't pick you.
01:59He used you.
02:00We think he's probably some bigger game plan.
02:02This isn't just about me.
02:04Who do you have to protect?
02:06I can't say.
02:08You think he's innocent, don't you?
02:10My whole reputation's on the line.
02:12Don't give up on me.
02:13Are you really going to be the man who might set him free?
02:16You can't stop!
02:18Chris, did you do what you're accused of doing?
