00:00:32,369 --> 00:00:35,-Can l help you?
-Well, l called for her last night.

00:00:36,649 --> 00:00:38,Her husband died last night.

00:00:38,809 --> 00:00:41,His picture was in the paper once,
but you misspelled his name.

00:00:41,849 --> 00:00:43,She wants to be sure you get it right.

00:00:43,849 --> 00:00:46,-You see, it's not one, but two "i"s.
-You want obituaries.

00:00:47,049 --> 00:00:49,lt's the guy in the back
with the urn on his desk.

00:00:51,769 --> 00:00:53,What funeral home was she taken to?

00:00:54,649 --> 00:00:55,How old was she?

00:00:58,209 --> 00:00:59,What did she die of?

00:01:00,489 --> 00:01:03,Well, l have to know what she died of
or l can't write the obit.

00:01:04,289 --> 00:01:05,l don't make the rules.

00:01:06,689 --> 00:01:09,Could l call you back? Thank you.

00:01:15,449 --> 00:01:16,Excuse me, will you?

00:01:19,009 --> 00:01:19,Tom?

00:01:20,769 --> 00:01:22,Tom, look, l cannot take this anymore.

00:01:23,089 --> 00:01:26,You g***t to get me off the obit desk.
l can't write another obituary.

00:01:26,369 --> 00:01:29,Calm down, Adam. Relax.
lt isn't going to last forever.

00:01:29,329 --> 00:01:30,Think of it this way:

00:01:30,649 --> 00:01:34,This is your last chance in journalism
to write anything nice about anybody.

00:01:35,689 --> 00:01:36,Perfect.

00:02:56,969 --> 00:02:58,New York City - Five Years Later

00:02:59,009 --> 00:03:00,So, you can't talk to me about the arrest.

00:03:01,009 --> 00:03:04,Can you talk to me about after the arrest?
You know, his time in prison.

00:03:04,729 --> 00:03:05,lt was terrible.

00:03:06,609 --> 00:03:08,He was in shock the entire time.

00:03:10,609 --> 00:03:13,He lost a lot of weight
because he couldn't eat the food.

00:03:14,529 --> 00:03:15,He couldn't sleep.

00:03:16,289 --> 00:03:19,They had him in the same cell
with a Mafia hit man.

00:03:20,129 --> 00:03:22,-He was afraid to close his eyes for a week.
-lnteresting.

00:03:23,409 --> 00:03:24,For a man like him...

00:03:25,529 --> 00:03:27,...that was cruel and unusual punishment.

00:03:28,289 --> 00:03:29,l'll say.

00:03:30,569 --> 00:03:33,What do you think, Charlie?
Can you get him to talk to me?

00:03:34,209 --> 00:03:36,He's not talking to any press, Adam.

00:03:37,009 --> 00:03:38,He doesn't trust you guys.

00:03:38,889 --> 00:03:40,l don't blame him.

00:03:40,609 --> 00:03:42,There's been a lot of bad press lately.

00:03:43,089 --> 00:03:45,l thought he'd want to tell
his side of the story.

00:03:45,729 --> 00:03:47,The only way to do that is an interview.

00:03:47,849 --> 00:03:51,Especially if he feels that the government
is screwing around on him.

00:03:51,529 --> 00:03:54,Now, l didn't exactly say that.

00:03:55,329 --> 00:03:57,Anyway, not for the record.

00:03:58,129 --> 00:04:00,l don't want you to twist what l said
out of shape.

00:04:01,209 --> 00:04:02,Right.

00:04:03,329 --> 00:04:07,The problem is, the only people that
will talk to me are people that hate him.

00:04:07,089 --> 00:04:09,And l'm doing this story
whether l talk to him or not.

00:04:10,049 --> 00:04:12,So don't fault me if this is a negative piece.

00:04:13,329 --> 00:04:15,That sounds vaguely like a threat.

00:04:15,369 --> 00:04:19,No, l think that if he wants a chance,
he's g***t to turn his press around.

00:04:21,209 --> 00:04:23,You reporters think
you make the world turn.

00:04:23,929 --> 00:04:25,l don't know about that.

00:04:25,889 --> 00:04:28,You know, l used to be a reporter myself...

00:04:28,969 --> 00:04:31,...until l g***t tired of starving my family.

00:04:31,569 --> 00:04:34,That's why l g***t into public relations.

00:04:34,769 --> 00:04:38,-To make a living wage. l love it.
-Yeah.

00:04:38,729 --> 00:04:39,l really do.

00:04:42,609 --> 00:04:45,Excuse me. l have to take a piss.

00:05:24,169 --> 00:05:27,-** l interrupting something?
-No. Adam, come on in and look at this.

00:05:35,689 --> 00:05:39,-Frankie strikes again.
-Look at that. They're good.

00:05:39,209 --> 00:05:41,At last someone has managed
to capture his true essence.

00:05:42,049 --> 00:05:45,Look at this one.
l can't believe that she g***t him to do this.

00:05:45,249 --> 00:05:46,Believe me, it was easy.

00:05:48,529 --> 00:05:50,l think this will be the one
we use on the cover.

00:05:52,409 --> 00:05:53,-You like it?
-l like it.

00:05:54,409 --> 00:05:56,-You want to get some lunch?
-Yeah.

00:05:56,249 --> 00:05:58,-Frankie, you want to join us?
-Absolutely.

00:05:58,529 --> 00:06:00,How did it go this morning?

00:06:00,289 --> 00:06:01,Fascinating.

00:06:01,289 --> 00:06:04,He insisted we meet at the Atrium Club,
saying it was a safe place to talk.

00:06:04,889 --> 00:06:08,He implied the government had a reason
for putting McKenzie out of business.

00:06:08,769 --> 00:06:09,He was so nervous.

00:06:09,969 --> 00:06:12,-But what about the interview?
-He thought it was doubtful.

00:06:13,129 --> 00:06:16,-There's no story without an interview.
-Or without pictures.

00:06:16,169 --> 00:06:18,You don't want to recycle
the same wire service photos.

00:06:18,969 --> 00:06:22,-l'd love to shoot him.
-You'd make him pose with coke in his lap.

00:06:22,329 --> 00:06:25,-l can make him do anything.
-Come on, you guys.

00:06:33,049 --> 00:06:33,l have an idea.

00:06:33,929 --> 00:06:37,McKenzie has a hearing tomorrow,
in Los Angeles, to reduce his bail.

00:06:37,529 --> 00:06:39,But he needs the $2 million
to pay his lawyers.

00:06:39,929 --> 00:06:42,Why don't l fly out there tonight
and get the interview?

00:06:42,689 --> 00:06:45,-You hate flying.
-l'm fine, as long as there's no turbulence.

00:06:45,729 --> 00:06:48,When it starts bouncing around,
l get drunk.

00:06:48,089 --> 00:06:51,lf you're going, let's find a story
for you to do at the same time...

00:06:51,529 --> 00:06:55,...in case it doesn't work out. l don't want
you wasting your time or my money.

00:06:55,609 --> 00:06:58,You cheap f***k.
You want two stories for the price of one?

00:06:58,849 --> 00:06:59,Fine.

00:06:59,849 --> 00:07:02,l have an idea for a story
that would take place in California.

00:07:03,009 --> 00:07:03,What?

00:07:03,849 --> 00:07:06,l g***t the idea at the Atrium Club,
this morning.

00:07:06,249 --> 00:07:08,-Who would you be going after?
-Not who, what.

00:07:08,729 --> 00:07:11,-Excuse me, what will you be going after?
-Health clubs.

00:07:11,969 --> 00:07:13,-Groan.
-No.

00:07:13,329 --> 00:07:16,l'll do a story about how they're
turning into the singles bars of the '80s?

00:07:17,049 --> 00:07:19,Find a couple. Do a non-fiction love story.

00:07:19,289 --> 00:07:22,-With pictures.
-Lots of them. lt could be hilarious.

00:07:22,209 --> 00:07:25,Particularly set in Los Angeles.
You know, inflated bodies. Airheads.

00:07:25,889 --> 00:07:27,-Hot tubs? Alfalfa sprouts?
-Absolutely.

00:07:28,049 --> 00:07:30,We haven't done L.A. in a long time.
lt would be wonderful.

00:07:30,969 --> 00:07:32,-Sounds great.
-S***t.

00:07:32,329 --> 00:07:34,-What?
-Carly Simon just walked in.

00:07:34,649 --> 00:07:35,Oh, God.

00:07:35,689 --> 00:07:39,-She hated the story you did on her.
-l know, l know.

00:07:55,329 --> 00:07:57,-Hi, Carly.
-Hi, Carly.

00:07:57,369 --> 00:07:58,Hi, Carly.

00:07:58,689 --> 00:08:01,-l read that s***t you wrote about me.
-Come on, Carly.

00:08:01,769 --> 00:08:05,The only thing worse than being
written about is not being written about.

00:08:25,049 --> 00:08:27,There is a motion with respect to the bail
for Mr. McKenzie.

00:08:27,849 --> 00:08:29,-ls that correct?
-lt is, Your Honour.

00:08:29,729 --> 00:08:31,-Yes. ls there a written motion?
-No.

00:08:33,369 --> 00:08:35,l'd like to make an o***l presentation.

00:08:35,169 --> 00:08:37,-You filed the notice?
-Yes, Your Honour.

00:08:37,249 --> 00:08:39,All right, then, go ahead
and state your reasons.

00:08:39,649 --> 00:08:41,Then the government may reply.

00:08:41,449 --> 00:08:44,We are seeking a reduction in bail
based on two major things:

00:08:44,849 --> 00:08:48,One, Mr. McKenzie is simply
not as wealthy as the government...

00:08:48,489 --> 00:08:50,...and the press, for that matter, imagines.

00:08:50,729 --> 00:08:54,Let's leave the press out of it.
They have nothing to do with setting bail.

00:08:55,009 --> 00:08:56,Here they come.

00:09:03,049 --> 00:09:06,-Charlie, what about the interview?
-He's not talking to anybody.

00:09:06,329 --> 00:09:08,-Period.
-lf he changes his mind, l'll be at--

00:09:09,049 --> 00:09:11,He's not changing his mind.
He's flying to New York today.

00:09:12,409 --> 00:09:13,The Sunset Marquis.

00:09:14,809 --> 00:09:16,The Sunset Marquis!

00:09:34,289 --> 00:09:35,Hello.

00:09:35,129 --> 00:09:36,-Adam?
-Yeah.

00:09:36,809 --> 00:09:39,-How's it going?
-lt's going fine.

00:09:39,209 --> 00:09:41,He g***t his bail reduced,
but l couldn't...
