secret documents"

Are you trying to piss me off?

No, not me, Judge Gurfein.

If you look at the text of

his restraining order--

I read his restraining order.

So then you know that if The Times

was your source, we would be in

-direct violation of--

-I did not get the study

from The Times.

You're sure?

We done?

Did you get it from their source?

Excuse me?

Did you get the study

from the same source

as The Times?

We do not reveal our sources.

"This action has been

commenced to enjoin

"The New York Times and its agents--"

-I get it, I get it.

-from disseminating or disclosing...

If you got the study

from the same source,

that would amount to collusion.

Yeah, we could all

be executed at dawn.

And we could be held

in contempt of court.

Which means Mr. Bradlee and

Mrs. Graham could go to jail.

Mr. Bagdikian,

how likely is it

that your source

and The Times' source

are the same person?

It's likely.

How likely?

Very.

-It's very likely.

-Yes.

What is all this?

Lemonade earnings.

Marina wanted me to put

it away for safekeeping.

Ah, wow.

We're publishing.

Wow.

I didn't think Kay'd do it.

That's brave.

Well, she's not the

only one who's brave.

Oh, what have you got to lose?

Uh, my job.

-My reputation.

-Oh, Ben, please.

We both know this

will do nothing but

burnish your reputation.

And as for your job, you can

always find another one.

If you're tryin' to

make me feel better,

there's nicer ways to do it.

You're very brave.

But Kay...

Kay is in a position she

never thought she'd be in.

A position I'm sure

plenty of people

don't think she should have.

And when you're told time and time

again that you're not good enough,

that your opinion

doesn't matter as much,

when they don't

just look past you,

when to them, you're

not even there,

when that's been your

reality for so long

it's hard not to let

yourself think it's true.

So, to make this decision,

to risk her fortune

and the company

that's been her entire life,

well, I think that's brave.

-Bradlee.

-Ben.

We got a problem.

Remember this?

-The day before the funeral.

-Yeah.

Wasn't it?

Yeah.

I didn't...I didn't want to do it, but

Fritz said I should

go in and

say a few words

to the board and

so,

I-I tried to rehearse something

but it all turned out so awful

and before I knew it, the car

was there ready to take me

and then you came out.

I remember.

You came out in your little

nightgown and your robe.

You hopped in the car

with me, gave me this.

Somehow, you managed to

scribble these notes for me

so I'd know what to say.

Well, I-I don't have

my glasses up here.

-So, just read it for me.

-Mummy.
