1:18:04
Not suspended, fired.
1:18:06
Because this wasn't
an isolated incident, Caitlin.
1:18:09
He cooked a dozen
of them, maybe more.
1:18:11
We're going to have to go
through them, you and l. All of them.
1:18:14
No, the only one was ''Hack Heaven.''
He told me that himself!
1:18:17
lf he were a stranger to you, if he was
a guy you were doing a piece about,
1:18:20
pretend that guy told you
he'd ''only done it once.''
1:18:22
Would you take his word for it?
1:18:25
Of course not,
you'd dig and you'd bury him!
1:18:27
And you'd be offended
if anybody told you not to.
1:18:29
Everyone of those pieces
was fact-checked. They--
1:18:31
So was ''Hack Heaven''!
1:18:36
You're a good reporter.
1:18:38
You've always been a smart, thorough
reporter. Why can't you be one now?
1:18:42
Because what you're telling me
is impossible, Chuck.
1:18:45
Go upstairs.
1:18:47
- Read them again.
- This is bullshit!
1:18:50
Make sure you go
all the way back,
1:18:52
because half of them ran
when Mike was still here.
1:18:57
That's what this is.
Of course.
1:18:59
What are you going to do, Chuck,
pick us off, one by one?
1:19:03
Everybody that was loyal to Mike,
so you have a staff that belongs to you?
1:19:05
ls that the kind of magazine
you want to run?
1:19:07
When this thing blows, there isn't
going to be a magazine anymore.
1:19:11
lf you want to make this about Mike,
make it about Mike.
1:19:13
l don't give a shit.
You can resent me,
1:19:15
you can hate me,
but come Monday morning,
1:19:17
we're all going to have to answer
for what we let happen here.
1:19:19
We're all going to have
an apology to make!
1:19:22
Jesus Christ! Don't you have any idea
how much shit we're about to eat?
1:19:25
Every competitor we ever took a shot at,
they're going to pounce.
1:19:28
And they should.
Because we blew it, Caitlin.
1:19:32
He handed us fiction after fiction
1:19:34
and we printed them all as fact.
1:19:37
Just because...
we found him ''entertaining.''
1:19:44
lt's indefensible.
1:19:46
Don't you know that?
