04:44so
04:50I don't know.
05:28I don't know.
06:06I don't know.
06:16Chelsea!
06:57I don't know.
07:18Chelsea!
07:27Shit.
07:28The real-life showdown!
07:30Huh, Peter?
07:30Doesn't have to be.
07:31I don't know what Hagen told you to get you to do this, but it's all lies.
07:34Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:35You're the straight shooter, huh?
07:37The guy that broke into the UN, stole intelligence, gave it straight to Monroe?
07:42Hagen is using you, Adam.
07:45Okay?
07:45He and the First Lady have been making illegal deals with Monroe for years.
07:49Bullshit!
07:49Isabel got the hard drive open.
07:51Okay, we have proof.
07:53Good men do not hide behind need to know.
07:56Ask him for yourself.
07:59Peter, there's no reasoning with him.
08:01Come on.
08:03Damn it, Adam.
08:07You ready?
08:09Go.
08:25So, Raul Zapata and the LFS had an account to finance all their terrorist stuff.
08:29And separately, we have Isabel's father, Jacob Monroe.
08:33An intelligence broker.
08:34Yes.
08:35Also kind of terrorist adjacent.
08:37Killed an FBI agent while abducting me.
08:39Had his hands in the UN attack last year.
08:41Also, in bed with...
08:44Jenny Hagen.
08:45He funneled money through her charity, Signature Initiative,
08:48and illegally back into the Hagen campaign as leverage or blackmail
08:52in exchange for classified intel.
08:54So, Zapata, Monroe, Signature Initiative.
08:56What do all these parties need in order to launder money?
08:59A bank?
09:00Very good, Jane.
09:02It's Jill.
09:03In fact, all of these entities use the same bank, Walcott Capital.
09:09So, clearly, they had someone in the bank to approve the transactions,
09:12make sure they don't get flagged, and they slipped up,
09:14which is where I came in.
09:15We believe the bank paid for the murders of Senator Lansing,
09:18Vernon Tyvek, and Mike to cover up their involvement.
09:21This is all based on the word of a murder suspect?
09:23Self-defense.
09:24And also, are you fucking listening to what we're telling you?
09:27It's all on the drive.
09:27And this is what my father had on the bank.
09:30We haven't even begun to dig into the rest of his intelligence operations.
09:33Jesus, if even half of these leaks are real, this is a very big deal.
09:37Sorry, can I just...
09:38So many allegations against such high-profile parties leaves us extremely exposed.
09:45And I'm not even going to begin to touch the ethical considerations of you running after
09:50this story, given that Monroe is your father.
09:54I'll disclose it.
09:55It's how I was able to track everything down.
09:57I agree with Jill.
09:58We want this airtight.
09:59It is airtight.
10:00There are over a thousand folders on there.
10:02It would take months to vet.
10:04And the president is already trying to cover this up.
10:07I'm not asking to publish the whole thing.
10:10Just a part of it.
10:11Just to get the narrative out.
10:15What do you think, Tripp?
10:16What if we put a team on it, upload these files to a secure drive, and have a full-time
10:20staff of reporters vetting everything?
10:22That would take a couple of weeks.
10:23At least.
10:24Guys, we're talking about the president here.
10:26Are you making your point or ours?
10:28What if we got some of these witnesses to go on record?
10:30Who else is there besides this guy?
10:32There's Chelsea Arrington, a Secret Service agent who can attest to the relationship between
10:35Monroe and the First Family.
10:36Wait, the one who shot the intruder?
10:39Johnson at the press pool texted me ten minutes ago.
10:42The White House is already calling her account into question.
10:44They're trying to discredit her.
10:45Like I said, this is a cover-up.
10:51Tripp.
10:52We really should fast-track this.
10:54Agreed.
10:55Strongly advise against.
10:57Co-sign.
11:00Tripp, it's your call.
11:04I'm sorry, Isabel.
11:06I'm with the lawyers on this one.
11:07We can't rush this.
11:15Well, we headed to the register.
11:18They just said they got the drive-up.
11:19Listen, I get the feeling this other one's not going to stop.
11:25I need you to handle him.
11:28Rich, can I...
11:30Can I talk to you as a friend right now?
11:36Go ahead.
11:37Peter said some things about you and Jenny.
11:40Having ties to Monroe.
11:45Yeah, that's right.
11:47Monroe was an early donor to my campaign.
11:50I guess that makes me part of the conspiracy in his mind.
11:53But you're not.
11:53That's why I called you.
11:55Peter, he can't see past his own personal trauma.
11:58His father was a traitor, so now he perceives everyone as an enemy.
12:01He never trusted me.
12:03He never trusted you.
12:04Jesus, Adam, we fucking bled together.
12:05I know, I know.
12:07I'm just looking for clarity, that's all.
12:10It's a matter of national security.
12:13Is that not clarity enough?
12:15General's questions that we don't have to.
12:17How many times did you drill that into my head?
12:21Look, I know I'm asking a lot.
12:24But you won't have to do it alone.
12:26How's that?
12:28You're not the only member of our old team I brought into night action.
13:00You're not the only member of our old team I brought into night action.
13:21Theo's trying to kill the story.
13:24Or at least delay it as long as he can.
13:26That's good.
13:27What if they try to go after him next?
13:28He didn't choose to get involved.
13:30Chelsea, you're doing the right thing.
13:32Sounds like Theo thinks so, too.
13:34Seems like a good guy.
13:37Yeah.
13:41Peter.
13:42God, I'm scared, man.
13:44Just try to think what you'll be doing when you're through with all this.
13:49I'll be on my couch and my jammies stuffing my face with cake.
13:54Cake, huh?
13:56I'm more of an ice cream guy myself.
13:59Favorite flavor?
14:00Yeah.
14:01There was this ice cream bar.
14:04My mom got it for me.
14:07One day when we were at the beach.
14:12It's actually my last memory I have of her.
14:17Before she got sick.
14:23Yeah, it was, I don't know, it was red.
14:27Had all these, like, crunchy things all over it.
14:30It was good.
14:31What was the name of it?
14:32I can't remember.
14:35Strawberry or raspberry something.
14:40Had this logo, this little blue cow on the front.
14:46I always keep my eye open for it.
14:48It's just...
14:49Not good, huh?
14:50Honestly, I can't even remember.
14:56Maybe I'm just hung up on how I felt that day.
15:07Hey, where are you guys?
15:09Still at the register.
15:10We're on our way back into the city.
15:11Stay there.
15:12Tell security not to let anyone in the building.
15:14And stay away from the windows.
15:15The whole building is windows.
15:17Adam tried to kill Chelsea.
15:18What?
15:18Are you both okay?
15:19Yeah, but the president's tying up loose ends,
15:21which means...
15:22He's coming after all of us.
15:23Yeah, where are you at with the story?
15:24My boss says they won't publish it,
15:26not without vetting the drive first,
15:27which could take weeks.
15:28Did you tell them that...
15:29I told them everything.
15:30They won't publish it.
15:31What if you got a source to go on the record?
15:32Jay and Chelsea aren't enough.
15:33I tried.
15:37What about the banker?
15:38I mean, there's evidence on that hard drive
15:40that might convince her to talk.
15:44Excuse me, Evan.
15:45What if I get someone from Walcott Capital on the record?
15:47Who?
15:48Freya Myers, a private banker.
15:49If I got her confirming all of this...
15:51Will you get us cross-platform coverage tonight?
15:53That's a very big if.
15:54But if I do, will you run it?
15:55I'd have to check with Tripp.
15:57But yeah, that might work.
16:00Peter, it's on.
16:01Great.
16:02If I know where she is, we'll come to you.
16:05And Renee asked me to reach out to you specifically
16:07because there's an addendum.
16:08It's big.
16:09You'll want to break the full story.
16:11So we just need you to hold off.
16:14No, no, no.
16:15I understand this is the last minute.
16:17Well, how long can you hold the story?
16:20Couple of hours?
16:21Come on, Rena.
16:24Great.
16:25Great.
16:25No, I promise you'll be the first one I'll call.
16:28Okay.
16:33Hey, Samantha.
16:35It's Theo.
16:35I'm calling on Renee's behalf about the Arrington story.
16:38I was hoping...
16:39What are you doing?
16:40Samantha, I'm going to have to call you right back.
16:42Hey.
16:43Are you serious right now?
16:44This story's bullshit, Renee, and you know it.
16:47I'm calling security.
16:48Don't bother.
16:50I quit.
16:57Hey, Samantha.
16:58It's Theo.
16:59Sorry about that.
17:00We'll get the accounts set up and running,
17:02and I will be sure to let you know
17:04next time my associates pass through Moscow.
17:09Uh, yeah.
17:11Okay.
17:12You as well.
17:13Yes?
17:14Evening, Miss Myers.
17:15Is it Miss DeLeon to see you?
17:17Says she works with Jacob Monroe.
17:24Give me five minutes, then send her up.
17:28Fold it.
17:29Spin it.
17:30Good.
17:31Now, you do all of them like that,
17:33there'll be more than enough room for the PlayStation in there.
17:35Dude, you learn this at work?
17:37Scouts.
17:41Yes?
17:42Where the fuck are you?
17:43The journalist that you claim to have taken care of
17:46is at my doorstep.
17:47I see.
17:48I don't need you to see.
17:49I need you to do.
17:52I can stall her.
17:53How quick can you get to the east side?
17:54I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to make it.
17:56I'm no longer working this job.
17:58What?
17:58You were paid triple for your services.
18:01And that payment has just been returned to you in full.
18:03Bless some incidentals.
18:05We had a deal.
18:07The only reason that I answered this call
18:10was out of professional courtesy
18:11to inform you that I have withdrawn from this field of work entirely.
18:15I hope we can part on good terms.
18:17What?
18:18You're having a goddamn midlife crisis in the middle of a job?
18:23More of an awakening.
18:24Listen, I need you right now.
18:26Are you coming or not?
18:27I am not.
18:31You listen to me right now, you asshole.
18:35You are not the only number in my contacts.
18:39But if you decide to screw me,
18:42then you and every single person
18:44that you have ever cared about
18:46better start looking over
18:47your fucking shoulders!
18:53You have a nice evening now.
19:00Everything okay?
19:01Better than ever.
19:06Hi.
19:07I'm sorry for intruding.
19:09I'm Isabel de Leon.
19:11I loved your last piece in the register.
19:14Come in.
19:17Wow.
19:18So this is what life is like
19:20from the 80th floor.
19:22Want to know a little secret?
19:23Anything above the 50th looks the same.
19:28What can I do for you?
19:30I was hoping you'd sit down
19:31for an interview regarding Jacob Monroe.
19:33I'm so sorry.
19:34I have a policy to not discuss clients.
19:37So he was your client then?
19:38I didn't say that.
19:40He kept meticulous records.
19:42Kept?
19:43He's dead.
19:44Oh.
19:46I'm so sorry to hear that.
19:49I'm sure.
19:50But he did leave something behind.
19:53An online drive.
19:55Every financial transaction he ever made.
19:58Emails, texts, audio recordings.
20:00So many audio recordings.
20:01I'm beginning to think he was always wearing a wire.
20:03And there's evidence linking you
20:06and your financial institution
20:08to money laundering
20:09for Jacob Monroe,
20:11for Raul Zapata and the LFS
20:13via David Hudson's Casino,
20:14and for the First Lady
20:15via her charity.
20:18You can go ahead and take a look.
20:28Good evening.
20:29Yeah, you too, boss.
20:30Sorry, I just need you to sign in.
20:32Who are you here to see?
20:34Fran Meyer's in the penthouse.
20:36Got it.
20:37Just got to call up.
20:39Actually, we were hoping
20:40this could be a surprise.
20:42Everything has already been uploaded
20:43to a secure dropbox.
20:45And over the next two weeks,
20:46reporters at the register
20:47and outlets around the globe
20:48will be combing through it
20:49to corroborate.
20:50And then come the indictments,
20:52the trials, the convictions.
20:53And if you're lucky,
20:55your own private cell
20:56with an ensuite.
20:59What are you smiling at?
21:00You, the tough-knuckled reporter,
21:03bringing truth to light.
21:05It's adorable.
21:06I have proof.
21:07No, you have accusations
21:09buried in spreadsheets
21:10that it would take an MBA
21:12to understand.
21:13And who's to say
21:14that these are not forgeries
21:16manufactured by our competitors?
21:19It's the truth.
21:21Truth is just an opinion
21:23dressed up the right way.
21:24A reporter, of all people,
21:26should understand that.
21:27You can't hide from this.
21:29I don't have to hide.
21:31Bad people take advantage
21:32of financial institutions
21:34all the time.
21:35And fortunately,
21:36it always ends the same way.
21:39The bank gets investigated,
21:41we pay a speeding ticket,
21:42and then everyone
21:44just gets back to work.
21:45You've really thought
21:46this through, haven't you?
21:47And it took me
21:48all of three seconds.
21:50I hope you have
21:51a wonderful evening,
21:52Ms. DeLeon.
21:53Well, good luck
21:54with that story.
21:56Don't you want to know
21:57how Jacob Monroe died?
21:59He was murdered
22:01by a professional.
22:04Not by one of yours.
22:06No, this one was sent
22:07by the president
22:08to cover up his wife's crimes.
22:10They killed him
22:11to keep him from talking.
22:13What do you think
22:14they'll do to the banker
22:15who helped process
22:16all the illicit funds?
22:26who is it?
22:26Ah, hey, Ms. Myers.
22:28It's maintenance.
22:29We think there might be
22:30a leak in your apartment.
22:31Mind if we come in
22:32and take a quick look?
22:34Do you know them?
22:36Uh, could you come back
22:38tomorrow, please?
22:39Ah, sorry.
22:40No can do.
22:42See, it's leaking
22:42into the apartment
22:43down below,
22:44so it's kind of urgent.
22:46We need to hide.
22:47Ms. Myers?
22:49Ms. Myers!
22:55Stay here.
23:17Is there another way
23:18out of here?
23:19There's another elevator
23:20upstairs.
23:29Where's your phone?
23:31I know we left it
23:32in the other part
23:33of the apartment.
23:34Good.
23:35Dialing number.
23:37Yeah.
24:09Upstairs, now!
24:12Upstairs, now!
24:15Upstairs, now!
24:49Shit, they took
24:50a second elevator!
25:01Peter, they broke
25:02into the apartment.
25:03They're trying to kill us.
25:03Hold on.
25:04Who?
25:04I don't know.
25:05They had guns and ear things.
25:07What, they just left?
25:07Are you okay?
25:08Freya got away.
25:09They went after her.
25:10We need to find her
25:11before they do.
25:12Are you close?
25:12I'm heading downstairs now.
25:14I'll need to...
25:15Isabel!
25:17Shit.
25:27Peter.
25:32Take this.
25:34What about you?
25:42Put it down.
25:44Drop it.
25:45Now.
25:46Move.
25:47I got the reporter.
25:55Excuse me.
25:56I need your phone.
25:58Please.
25:58No.
25:58It's not like that.
25:59I could pay you.
26:22She's inside Grand Central.
26:23This is Adam.
26:24I'm two minutes out.
26:25Help!
26:27Help!
26:28Chelsea!
26:28Where'd the guy go?
26:29I don't know.
26:30He called me and then he left.
26:34Turn around.
26:39Slowly.
26:42And drop it over there.
26:50Now put your hands on the railing.
27:08No!
27:10No!
27:18Help!
27:19Help! Help!
27:21Marty's gonna go! Help!
27:44Attention, customers.
27:46For your safety and the safety of others,
27:49please do not sit on the floor or stairs in Grand Central Terminal.
27:55Thank you for your cooperation.
28:03Needle in a haystack here. I need extra eyes.
28:06I just got him.
28:08Okay.
28:09I just wear a grey sweatshirt and slippers.
28:19Excuse me, sir. Excuse me. Excuse me.
28:21FBI, we've got a situation developing.
28:24I'm gonna need your help.
28:26Officer! Oh, thank God.
28:28Ma'am, I need to stay where you are.
28:32Turn around.
28:35Hey, I got eyes on suspects heading into the East Corridor.
28:39Hey, I'm here to help. Do not scream.
28:41Put this on. Put the hood up.
28:48Hey.
28:48I'm with Isabelle. Where are you?
28:50I've got Freya.
28:51Okay, great. We're heading to the register.
28:52We'll meet you there.
28:53Where are you taking me?
28:57She's found a friend.
29:00They're headed to the subway. Proceed with caution.
29:03Are you coming?
29:05I will meet you there. I think I know where they're going.
29:08Block all the exits at the 28th Street Station.
29:12And that's how Senator Lansing was involved.
29:14What about the casino?
29:15We went over the casino, Dan.
29:17Ask a colleague that was paying attention.
29:18You guys okay? What happened?
29:20We're okay.
29:21Get the studio ready for the stream.
29:23Where's your source?
29:24On her way.
29:25I hope.
29:26Peter, we'll get her here.
29:28We'll get off the next stop.
29:30Financial register's just a few blocks away.
29:33Yeah, I'm not talking to your friend.
29:35I'll figure a way out of this. I've done it before.
29:38This isn't a couple hired guns.
29:39Okay, you're up against the might of the executive branch of the U.S. government.
29:42Now maybe you'll make it to your private jet.
29:45I bet the bullet finds you first.
29:50Shit.
30:04Listen.
30:05Come with me, or go with them.
30:07It's your choice.
30:12Okay, I'll see you.
30:20I might know another way out of here. Come on.
30:33There's an entrance over here that was connected to the old park happening big.
30:36It was my first job out of college.
30:39Yeah, it's just on the other side of this.
30:41It comes right out near the register.
30:51Let's go.
31:26Let's go.
32:01Let's go.
32:05Let's go.
32:12Let's go.

36:52Let's go.
36:53Let's go.
36:53Department of Justice are interested in reaching an understanding with me, I would happily
37:00disclose everything I know about the Hagans and their criminal conduct.
37:16This comes after the bombshell reporting from the financial journalist Isabel DeLeon, who
37:21exposed these secrets after investigating the business dealings of her estranged father,
37:26Jacob Monroe. Today, I'm joined by the man who helped her on her journey. Welcome, Jay Buttra.
37:32Thanks, Ali. It's great to be here. Jay, you were working as a government analyst,
37:35just going about your day, when something suspicious pops up, and that starts you down
37:41a clue trail. Walk me through this. You know what? It's easier if I show you. Okay.
38:06What do you think she's singing about? Oh, man. Uh, if I had to guess, there's a guy who's in
38:12a really tough spot. He was alone.
38:16He didn't know who he could turn to, who he could trust. And then she came along. She helped him
38:23make sense of some stuff.
38:25And, uh, together they made things right. Is that so? I think that's what she said before she started singing.
38:34How are you feeling? Doing all right. Uh, my hand's better, but my leg still needs to heal up a
38:41bit.
38:43Been reading all your articles. You're great. You're doing a really good job. I'm proud of you.
38:49You really covered everything. I mean, almost everything. You were the only one who made a deal
38:54with my father who was actually trying to help people. You weren't the story. Must be nice,
39:01being able to put, you know, words to everything. And not just, you know, the scandal or the stuff
39:06with your dad, but, uh, sorting through all the lies. Telling your story. That's not my story.
39:14My story's still being written. So is yours.
39:20What's next for you? I'm thinking about going to Barcelona for a few months.
39:25Barcelona. Wow. Sounds nice. Business, pleasure? A little bit of both. Trying to find some balance.
39:34Balance, uh, sounds great. What about you? What's next for you?
39:45All right. Let's talk music. So live band brings the energy, but then you're sort of committing to a
39:50single vibe. You know, I have an idea. DJ? No. What if we just took off and went somewhere?
39:59You mean what? Like a lope? Yeah. We could make it official at the courthouse and then just
40:06hop on a plane to Belize or something.
40:11I love you so much. I love you too. But I will have my goddamn wedding.
40:18In that case, DJ. DJ it is. All right. So with the pictures, I am thinking
40:23like less editorial, more photojournalistic.
40:35What a shitshow. Tell me about it.
40:39That all seems like poor decision-making or just a distinct lack of ethics.
40:44I would have to agree with that.
40:48Are you waiting for someone? Why?
40:50Well, I'm about to order a stiff drink. And if you are waiting for someone, then I will content myself
40:55to...
40:56I'm not waiting for somebody.
41:01Henry.
41:03Nina.
41:04Lovely to meet you.
41:07All right, then. What'll it be?
41:10A perfect martini.
41:15Perfect.
41:26Hey.
41:30Whoa! Sorry that took so long.
41:34It's okay.
41:35Can we get some fudge?
41:37You sure can.
41:39Something I keep wondering. If the King Cobra encountered a Komodo dragon in the wild, who would win?
41:45Well, that is a great question. Go along.
41:51Oh!
42:00It won't take a minute for all the dust to settle, but we started a review process for all night
42:05agents.
42:07Are you cleaning the house?
42:08I'm scrubbing it.
42:11I was thinking about asking for an extension.
42:14To leg heals?
42:15Maybe longer.
42:18Someone once told me that the best agents know how to find balance in their lives.
42:25I'm thinking I should find something.
42:26Whoever that someone is, you should listen to them more often.
42:31I'm thinking about the request you made earlier for a partner.
42:34I think I have a candidate in mind.
42:37Who?
42:38I thought you were taking a break.
42:42Yeah.
42:43When you're ready.
42:44I know the number.
42:46You be good, Peter.
42:58And one for you.
43:00You're welcome.
43:14Hey.
43:16What's it going to be?
43:17What's it going to be?
43:38What's it going to be?
