(ORCHESTRA PLAYS GRAND THEME MUSIC)
NEWSMAN: What you are
looking at is a live picture
of the United States Capitol.
We are just moments away
from the official 2017
inaugural swearing-in ceremony
after the most unusual
presidential campaign
in our lifetime
between Donald J. Trump
and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
- ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen
- Here we go.
the president-elect
of the United States
Hillary Rodham Clinton.
(APPLAUSE AND WHISTLING)
Please raise your right
hand and repeat after me.
I, Hillary Rodham Clinton,
do solemnly swear
I, Hillary Rodham Clinton,

- Hey, stranger.
- Marissa.
- Hi.
- Hi.
The staff meeting is in 40 minutes.
And you have Zoe
Redgrave in your office.
Zoe?
Yeah, she just needs a few minutes.
The senator from Michigan?
The No, Hillary's press secretary.
Uh, Marissa,
I need to ask you a question.
Okay.
Who is president?
Who?
Yes.
I'll-I'll tell you later.
Diane, are you micro-dosing again?
No.
Well, maybe.
I-I don't know.
Isn't Trump president?
(LAUGHS)
No.
So, it's
(WHISPERS): Hillary?
Yes.
And how long has she been ?
Three years.
Are you all right, Diane?
- ♪♪
- (TRUMP SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
My God. Have you ever had
a dream that is so real
that it takes you a long
time to just wake up?
- No.
- (QUIETLY): I dreamt that
Donald Trump was our president.
(LAUGHS) Really? How did that go?
So, I mean, what happened?
- How did he lose?
- How did he not?
Don't you remember the polls?
It was a landslide
three million votes.
Same as in my dream.
Trump had three million
more votes in your dream?
No, Hillary did.
Well, then how did
he ? Well, whatever.
It's a dream. It doesn't
have to make sense.
Diane,
would you mind if I sat in on
the meeting with Zoe Redgrave?
I know she's your friend,
but I would like more face
time, if you don't mind.
I think I've earned it.
Diane had a weird dream last night.
It's just taking her a minute.
I know the case inside and out.
Good. What case?
Gerrymandering in Illinois?
The White House asked you to take point.
Really?
LUCCA: We go in front of the
Supreme Court in a month.
Oh, you're awake.
You're awake.
(EXHALES RHYTHMICALLY AND LOUDLY)
Diane, there you are. How are you?
Fine, Zoe.
Great, actually.
Lucca's been telling me you're
all prepared for Thursday.
Yes.
Yes, very prepared.
Are you nervous?
Am I ? No.
Hillary is appreciative
of what you're doing.
Well, I appreciate her
being in the White House.
So she has some insider
info on the court.
Garland is leaning our way,
but he likes a folksy story or two,
so be ready with that
in your oral argument.
Any thoughts on Warren?
Buffet?
- (BOTH LAUGH)
- No, Elizabeth Warren.
We've made a number of
references to income inequality.
Good. We don't want to
take her vote for granted.
So, I will see you tonight
at Women Unite for Change?
She will.
Yes, I will.
Diane?
Merrick Garland and Elizabeth
Warren are on the Supreme Court?
You're worrying me, Diane.
What happened to Kavanaugh?
(WHISPERING): Who's that?
(WHIMPERS SOFTLY)
Do you have a minute?
What-what do you need?
I'm, uh, worried about Diane.
We were just in a meeting
with Zoe Redgrave,
and she didn't know what
we were talking about.
- Zoe didn't know what we ?
- No. Diane didn't.
What were you talking about?
The Supreme Court.
NEWSWOMAN: The president
sounded optimistic today
about the CF1-K protein as
a possible cure for cancer.
NEWSMAN: The rise in the polar
bear population is causing
what some are calling
"The Polar Bear Express",
polar bear overpopulation.
NEWSMAN 2: The good news
for the administration is
it appears the rain
forest has been saved.
The bad news is,
the Travel Office Scandal
is back in the news,
leaving many asking "Where
has the missing 35 thou ?"
NEWSMAN 3: Donald Trump,
the real estate magnate
who ran for president in 2016,
has decided to reduce the
programming on Trump TV
- to eight hours a day.
- Hey, Diane.
Hey.
Adrian. Hey.
Liz. Oh.
- Ooh, you're happy.
- (LAUGHING): Oh.
I have been weighed down
for what feels like years,
and it-it just all suddenly lifted.
Why is that?
The news. I've been watching the news.
ADRIAN: Really? Even
with all the scandals?
What scandals?
The travel office, the e-mails.
Hillary's haircut.
Benghazi?
(LAUGHS)
Are you all right, Diane?
Liz, I have never been better.
Don't you know that cancer was cured?
Yes, but the administration's
not telling us how or when.
LIZ: Lucca is worried
about you. Should we be?
Oh, no, no, no. I just
I had this weird dream.
Lucca said that Trump was
president, huh? How'd that go?
Oh, my God. He kept calling
Nazis "very fine people".
And he did a senate campaign
for a child molester.
And he put children in cages.
- Why?
- Immigration policy, and, uh,
anti-Semitism and racism
were on the rise.
And where were the
Obamas during all this?
They had an overall deal at Netflix.
(LAUGHS)
ADRIAN: Well,
- welcome back to reality.
- Oh.
Diane, we don't need to
worry about you, do we?
No, I just needed to wake up.
I'm fine, and I'm ready.
Hold on.
Harriet Tubman.
It's all the usual Clinton scandal.
Fiscally speaking, these
people were a nightmare.
$500 for a haircut?
Who pays that kind of money?
You try to turn
everything into a scandal.
(INDISTINCT, OVERLAPPING CHATTER)
ALEX: Look, I voted for her
last year, but not again.
- What has she done for us?
- Cured cancer.
Only Hillary could cure cancer
and turn it into a scandal.
- I'm sorry. What-what scandal?
- The timing.
My mother died last year.
Why didn't they cure cancer last year?
Because she wants it for
her reelection campaign.
How many people could have been saved
if they'd cured cancer last year?
(INDISTINCT, OVERLAPPING CHATTER)
Whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, wait.
Can we start even one
meeting without all this?
Sure. Elect a different
president. Like Trump.
(GROANS, LAUGHTER, LIVELY CHATTER)
ADRIAN: You need to stop. Stop, now.
We got some good news today.
Diane, let's start with you.
Congratulations.
It's a great get, Diane.
(CHUCKLES)
Thank you.
ADRIAN: So, I understand you're, uh,
meeting with his team at noon?
Uh, yes.
And I-I can't wait.
Tell him we love his movies.
I will.
B-Because
Yeah, I will.
(WHISPERS): Harvey Weinstein.
The producer.
ADRIAN: I'm amazed
you got him away from Lisa Bloom.
How did you do that?
Oh, yeah. (FORCED CHUCKLE)
Um
I'm sorry, could you just
excuse me for one minute?
(WHISPERS): What?
Your new client.
It's Harvey Weinstein.
- The producer?
- Yes.
How is he our client?
You argued David Bois
wasn't serving him well.
I argued?
What about his issues?
- The anger issues?
- No, the rape ones.
I didn't know there were rape issues.
Okay, Marissa,
you need to treat me like
all of this is new to me.
Is this about your Trump stuff?
Yes. Trump said he could
"grab women by the pussy".
Right? In your world?
My world? You mean reality? Yes.
And then what happened?
People were upset.
- And then what?
- He lost the election.
But was there a big women's march
after the inauguration?
After Hillary's inauguration?
I mean, women were excited,
and there were parades.
But no march? No pussy hats?
(CHUCKLES) What are pussy hats?
It's not important. Was there a #MeToo?
U-2? What-what, the band?
No. A #MeToo movement.
I'm not sure what that is.
So Harvey Weinstein is
still a thing in your world?
In-in the world?
Well, he won the
Presidential Medal of Freedom.
- So, I guess
- Oh, my God.
(VOICE BREAKING): And
now I represent him.
Yeah.
Oh
Congratulations.
"Film Career. Activism.
Friendship with the President.
Controversies.
Weinstein has been criticized
for reediting many of
his arthouse purchases,
with some directors referring to him as
'Harvey Scissorhands'."
Well?
No one has accused
Weinstein of rape yet?
No.
Or-or of masturbating into plants?
What?! No. Ew.
Why-why was he masturbating into plants?
I-I don't remember. A few of them were.
What was going on in your world?
So, no one has come forward yet, right?
Here in
Reality? No. Not that I know of.
Who else was masturbating into plants?
I don't remember, there
were so many men with issues.
- Like who?
- Charlie Rose.
That guy with the round table?
What did he do? Isn't he, like, 90?
No, he liked walking around naked
in front of his female assistants.
Oh! Who else?
Matt Lauer.
Okay, who is that?
MARISSA: Team Weinstein.
Look, maybe it's only in your dream that
Weinstein is raping people
and masturbating into plants.
Maybe in reality he's just, you know,
some asshole producer
who screams at people
and cheats on contracts.
Maybe.
Harvey would like you to
make this your top priority.
He believes that the project's success
had a lot to do with him.
ADRIAN: Mm.
ADRIAN: Diane?
I'm sorry, what project is this?
Snowpiercer.
The TV adaptation.
All of the information
you need is right there.
Mr. Weinstein has no legal
claim to this project?
Well, as we said,
Harvey believes his input was essential
to its success in features,
so he wants us to
pursue any legal remedy.
And what legal remedy
We will definitely look into that.
- All legal options will be explored.
- ROISIN: Good.
Harvey would love news on the suit,
even just the filing, to report
during our publicity push.
- And when is that?
- Next week.
He'll be interviewed by Charlie Rose.
(LAUGHS OUT LOUD)
Sorry.
Then Friday, he'll be on the
Today Show with Matt Lauer.
(LAUGHS)
We are on it. Anything else?
We want you to look at the NDAs.
We have several former employees
that we believe might be in breach.
Believe?
How do you believe that?
Harvey has his ways.
Anyway, those are the
most outstanding items.
And if I may, I'd like to ask
just the core team to remain.
I have just one more
item I'd like to discuss.
ADRIAN: Certainly.
Uh, Tim, James, Mike.
Harvey is worried that
the Republicans are
going to come after him
for supporting Hillary.
ADRIAN: In what way coming after him?
With false accusations
of sexual assaults.
We've had three charges already,
and we believe more are on the way.
We have a pretrial hearing in two hours
to turn over discovery.
Of what? What discovery?
Contracts, Harvey's travel information.
Photos of his anatomy.
Oh, my God.
Yes, exactly. It's harassment.
These woman are after Harvey.
And why do you think
they're "after" him?
Because Harvey's an easy target.
But these women are Democrats. Right?
Diane is worried that
this will be the plaintiff's
argument in court.
Right, Diane?
ROISIN: They lie because
actresses have a limited shelf life,
and they feel Harvey hasn't
advanced their careers.
We have investigators
that have all of the background
you need on these women.
Yes, what is that? Black Cube?
How do you know about Black Cube?
I do my research.
- What is Black Cube?
- Israeli investigators.
They're brought on board
- to make the women look bad.
- Look,
we came to you because you're the best.
And because Harvey wanted a woman
and an African-American
man defending him.
So, are you up for it,
or should we move on?
We are definitely up for it.
ADRIAN: Diane, what
is going on with you?!
Now, you've told me yourself
you liked his movies.
He's a serial rapist, Adrian.
A sexual predator.
And how do you know that?
Because I
Because of these women coming forward.
These women are coming
forward for attention,
because he's a screamer.
You know you're saying he's
guilty until proven innocent.
No, I am looking at the evidence.
There is no evidence,
Diane. Wh-What evidence?
The Ronan Farrow revelations.
You're talking about that story
that NBC refused to broadcast
because it was so shoddy?
They're only saying that
because they are covering
up for Matt Lauer.
(LAUGHING): Matt Lauer? My God!
Jesus Christ, Diane!
You're dealing in rumors.
- Not facts.
- If we had done the same thing with Reddick,
we'd be a lot better off now.
What?
- What about Carl?
- Nothing.
Diane, what have you heard about Carl?
Nothing.
Yet.
What do you mean "yet"?
Harvey Weinstein will
blow up in our face.
We need to drop him.
Maybe you haven't been
paying attention, Diane.
We need Weinstein more than he needs us.
We're not doing well.
What do you mean?
The Hillary tax.
The what?
The rise in corporate taxes.
It's not just hitting our bottom line,
it's hitting our clients.
Why do you think we're
getting into entertainment?
We need to keep Weinstein happy.
Or we need to have a conversation
about dissolving and bankruptcy.
- What about my dad?
- What?
I heard you say that there was a rumor
about my dad; what rumor?
Nothing.
These women only want justice.
Your Honor, they deserve
to see this evidence.
The defense attorney keeps arguing
that this is harassment,
and Mr. Weinstein's a very busy man.
Well, we're not asking
that Mr. Weinstein gather
this information himself.
He has a lot of lawyers.
Let them do it for him.
JUDGE: You made your point, Counselor.
Defense?
Your Honor, the plaintiff is
not just asking for schedules.
They're asking for
photos of our client's
most sensitive anatomy.
And the reason why is they want
to force us into a settlement.
This is about money.
- No, it isn't.
- Yes, it is.
You're not righting a wrong.
This is about a few bitter actresses
who didn't get the part
- Bitter actresses?
- going after a man
No, I don't think so.
- And don't defame my clients. Do not!
- MATA: Okay, okay, stop!
I get it. I'm ready to rule.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Your discovery request,
Ms. Ann Howard, is denied.
I'm not seeing any
evidence of real harassment.
- HOWARD: Your Honor
- MATA: No.
This is a simple case
of "he said, she said".
In fact, it's worse.
The case rests on an old cliché,
the Hollywood casting couch.
Well, that may have been true
in the old studio system,
but with major Wall
Street companies like this,
no one would risk that kind of exposure.
I rule for the defense.
And I would suggest, Ms. Ann Howard,
you talk to your clients.
(GAVEL BANGS)
His Honor would like to
speak to you for a second?
I, uh, want to be clear:
this has nothing to do with my ruling.
This is not ex parte.
Do we understand?
- Yes, Your Honor.
- Good.
My daughter is looking for
an internship this summer,
and she would love to find a spot
in a large production
company like Mr. Weinstein's.
Could you put in a good word for her?
Certainly, Your Honor.
Good, good.
She would really love to be
under Mr. Weinstein this summer.
Mm.
I'll speak to Weinstein's
people about the internship.
What? You want to?
No, I'm just thinking,
justice is an equation.
What kind of equation?
Justice equals the law
times the zeitgeist.
The law on its own doesn't stand up.
You need the mood of
the times on your side.
Diane, we just won.
The zeitgeist worked for us.
But against women.
The president's a woman.
How is it against women?
In my dream, women got together
and held a march and said "no more".
Yeah, well, that's
the thing with dreams.
You can make them anything you want.
My guess would be that only
the women partners
got to say "no more".
We associates we can't risk it.
Harvey saves two or
three internship spots
each summer for his friends.
Malia Obama did one a few years ago.
That's great. The judge will love that.
Oh, um (CLEARS THROAT)
Can you do one more favor for me, Lucca?
Harvey asked that a lawyer drop by
with these court documents
to have them signed.
- He wants me?
- Yeah, just to drop by his suite.
Uh, he should drop by
our office and sign them.
Unfortunately, Harvey's
waiting for a conference call
in his hotel suite, so he can't leave.
- Well, then, I'll take them.
- No, Harvey wants Lucca to come.
Why?
Because Harvey reviews every
lawyer involved in his cases,
and he's intrigued by Lucca.
Has he seen her photo?
Diane.
What are you saying?
I'm saying you're Harvey's pimp.
Are you fucking serious?
LUCCA: Could you, uh, give us a second?
This is exactly what
I'm talking about, Diane.
I need face time with our top clients,
and you keep finding ways to stop it.
I'm going with these papers.
The client wants it, and I want it.
Lucca, listen to me. Listen
to me. This is how it will go.
You will bring those court
papers to the hotel concierge.
An he will call up, and
Weinstein will apologize
and say he can't come down,
could you bring them up to him?
So you'll ask the concierge
to bring them up to get them signed.
But Weinstein will say
he only has a few questions for you,
it'll only take a minute.
So you will go up, and
he'll answer the door,
and he'll be wearing a robe.
- (SCOFFS)
- And then he will ask you
to help him with
something in the bathroom.
He will be naked.
- Come on, Diane.
- He will be naked.
And he'll ask you to massage
his shoulders and his back.
Or he'll ask you to
watch him take a shower.
Diane, stop. Stop it!
Look at me.
Trust me.
I can take care of myself.
I am going.
(CLEARS THROAT)
- (PHONE RINGING)
- Hello?
DIANE: Marissa, listen,
I need to ask you a favor.
Lucca is on her way to
Harvey Weinstein's hotel.
I need you to keep a close eye on her.
Is Weinstein going to
masturbate into plants?
(GENTLE PIANO MUSIC PLAYING)
Yes?
Um, I have some papers for
Mr. Weinstein to sign.
Of course. Uh, one
second. I'll call him.
Thanks.
Come on, Marissa. I can see you.
Oh, Lucca, hi.
What are you doing here?
Diane sent you?
No. What do you mean?
Okay, yes, but it's not just her.
- I'm concerned, too.
- I'm fine, Marissa.
Just go home.
Uh, Mr. Weinstein wants
you to come up to his suite.
540, the penthouse.
Uh, actually, our boss
wants us to stay down here.
Can you have a messenger bring
this up to him to be signed?
And we will wait in the bar.
One second.
Do you think Diane is a witch?
No, I just think she knows how men work.
Mr. Weinstein just has a few questions.
He only needs you to go up for a minute.
The penthouse, suite 540.
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
Okay, so if Diane is right,
on the other side of that door
is Harvey Weinstein in a bathrobe.
Stand over there.
(DOOR OPENS)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
ZOE: This isn't
just the year of the women.
It's the decade of the women.
It's our time.
With the presidency,
women can do whatever they want.
I'm thinking of sending my
business your way, Diane.
We women have to stick together.
Oh, I'd like that, Ingrid.
Thank you.
INGRID: I suggested Harvey
bring his business to you.
Harvey Weinstein?
Yes. Oh, he has done so
much for the women's cause.
I'm having him speak at the next
Women United for Change event.
(CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING)
You don't think his way of
working with women is suspect?
Well, yes,
I know he can be a bit handsy.
He's a bad boy, like Jack Warner.
But he is good on women's causes.
I mean, pro-choice and Hillary.
WOMAN: Ms. Lockhart, you are one
of the founders of
Women United for Change,
an organization that even
our president has mentioned.
What does Women United for
Change mean in this day and age?
It means we have a long way to go.
Really? A long way to what?
Telling our stories.
Uh, the secretary
forced to date her boss.
A comedian forced to watch a
more powerful one masturbate.
Those stories. We all have them.
Uh, okay, I, um
Tarana Burke is an
African-American activist
who works to improve the
lives of young women at risk.
She coined the phrase "Me Too" in 2006.
And it is time to bring that back
by sharing our stories online
and attaching her hashtag "#MeToo".
It shouldn't matter
that Donald Trump isn't our president.
These abuses are still going on.
Okay, thank you.
So, remember, the hashtag "#MeToo".
No one is alone.
Just come forth and share your stories.
Thank you. Ingrid, hello.
You don't have a Twitter account?
No, I never needed one.
Okay. There it is.
- Now you want it to link to Tarana Burke?
-
Yes. Her "Me Too" site.
- Me ?
- Too.
Well, that's kind of obscure.
Want something more provocative
like "Men Who Hurt Women"?
No, no, no. Just a "Me Too" hashtag.
Okay.
There it goes.
I'm not sure this
will get much traction.
You need to connect
with more influencers.
Maybe this will do it.
E NEWSCASTER: the yearly Women
Unite for Change Awards last night,
in order to celebrate
the year's achievements.
This isn't just the year of the women.
It's the decade of the women.
Women can do whatever they want.
E NEWSCASTER: Women Unite for
Change co-founder Diane Lockhart
believes women are stronger than ever.
No one is alone.
Come forward. Tell your story.
E NEWSCASTER: And tell them they did.
The splashy event raised two
million dollars for feminist causes.
Megaproducer Harvey
Weinstein contributed
a matching fund of two million.
Was that supposed to send
people to the You-too site?
Did you call Weinstein's person a pimp?
- Yes, I did.
- LIZ: Why?
Because she's a pimp.
A pimp as in ?
She procures sex for Weinstein.
They want you to apologize.
- (LAUGHS) Seriously?
- Yes.
They sent over that
letter for you to sign.
"Dear Mr. Weinstein,
Please, I beg you to not stop reading.
I have done a terrible thing.
But what I did was beyond
being oblivious to humanity"?
(LAUGHS)
ADRIAN: They're serious.
They're threatening
to pull their business.
Then let them. Seriously, fuck them!
Diane?
I don't think you realize how
close we are to Chapter 11.
And Weinstein will make a difference?
Yes. We're going to have
to start firing associates.
I know you have heard
rumors about Weinstein,
but we've defended wife-killers.
Lisa Bloom defended Weinstein.
I've heard you go on about her.
Why are you drawing the line here?
Then take me off the account.
- The Weinstein account?
- Yes. You're right.
Everyone deserves a defense.
Just not everyone deserves my defense.
Oh, Zoe.
I didn't know we had a meeting.
We don't. I just wanted
to drop by to discuss something.
- Okay?
- I asked Lucca to be here, too.
What's "Me Too"?
It's a website of women
trading stories of abuse.
This is what you were talking
about at Women Unite for Change?
- Yes.
- Several women approached me asking about it.
I had to admit I didn't know about it.
You started this?
No. Tarana Burke did.
- But you're popularizing it?
- Well, if I can.
I mean, it's supposed to be
a grassroots women's movement.
Okay. I need you to remove it.
What? Why?
You're trying to suggest women
get angry about abuse, right?
Yes.
That's not the message
that helps us in 2020.
Hillary only gets reelected
if men don't feel women are
leading with their anger.
But women are angry.
No, they're not.
Women are making advances now.
And they're doing it
through competence,
not through grievance.
What about women who are being abused?
Who have been abused?
They will find support from Hillary.
From this administration.
So you're asking them to just shut up?
No, I'm asking them to
get a woman reelected
to the highest office in the land.
If Hillary doesn't win, Trump wins.
Then what do we have?
(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
Diane?
I just realized something.
W-Where's my husband?
- What?
- I've spent the last few days at work
and I-I haven't talked to him once.
Where is he?
Have you called him?
No.
ZOE: So you're dropping the website?
I ha I have to find my husband.
- Diane.
- Whatever you want. Whatever you need.
I-I have to go home.
Diane.
The Weinstein people
- are asking you to take a step back.
- Yes.
I already said: replace me.
No, they're asking you to take
a step back from the firm.
And what did you say?
I said we needed to talk.
(LAUGHS): Okay.
Well, I'm heading home. You
can do whatever you want.
- You don't need to head home.
- No, I do.
I don't know how I changed my clothes.
I went to that event last night
and I, and I had different clothes on.
And I have different clothes on now.
And I don't know where Kurt is.

- No, the rape ones.

Okay, Marissa,
you need to treat me like
all of this is new to me.

Yes. Trump said he could
"grab women by the pussy".

My world? You mean reality? Yes.
And then what happened?
People were upset.
- And then what?
- He lost the election.
But was there a big women's march
after the inauguration?

I mean, women were excited,
and there were parades.
But no march? No pussy hats?

It's not important. Was there a #MeToo?
U-2? What-what, the band?
No. A #MeToo movement.
I'm not sure what that is.
So Harvey Weinstein is
still a thing in your world?
In-in the world?
Well, he won the

Weinstein of rape yet?
No.
Or-or of masturbating into plants?
What?! No. Ew.

I-I don't remember. A few of them were.
What was going on in your world?
So, no one has come forward yet, right?
Here in
Reality? No. Not that I know of.
Who else was masturbating into plants?
I don't remember, there
were so many men with issues.
- Like who?
- Charlie Rose.
That guy with the round table?
What did he do? Isn't he, like, 90?
No, he liked walking around naked
in front of his female assistants.
Oh! Who else?
Matt Lauer.
Okay, who is that?
MARISSA: Team Weinstein.
Look, maybe it's only in your dream that
Weinstein is raping people
and masturbating into plants.
Maybe in reality he's just, you know,
some asshole producer
who screams at people
and cheats on contracts.
Maybe.
Harvey would like you to
make this your top priority.
He believes that the project's success
had a lot to do with him.
ADRIAN: Mm.
ADRIAN: Diane?
I'm sorry, what project is this?
Snowpiercer.
The TV adaptation.
All of the information
you need is right there.
Mr. Weinstein has no legal
claim to this project?
Well, as we said,
Harvey believes his input was essential
to its success in features,
so he wants us to
pursue any legal remedy.
And what legal remedy
We will definitely look into that.
- All legal options will be explored.
- ROISIN: Good.
Harvey would love news on the suit,
even just the filing, to report
during our publicity push.
- And when is that?
- Next week.
He'll be interviewed by Charlie Rose.
(LAUGHS OUT LOUD)
Sorry.
Then Friday, he'll be on the
Today Show with Matt Lauer.
(LAUGHS)
We are on it. Anything else?
We want you to look at the NDAs.
We have several former employees
that we believe might be in breach.
Believe?
How do you believe that?
Harvey has his ways.
Anyway, those are the
most outstanding items.
And if I may, I'd like to ask
just the core team to remain.
I have just one more
item I'd like to discuss.
ADRIAN: Certainly.
Uh, Tim, James, Mike.
Harvey is worried that
the Republicans are
going to come after him
for supporting Hillary.
ADRIAN: In what way coming after him?
With false accusations
of sexual assaults.
We've had three charges already,
and we believe more are on the way.
We have a pretrial hearing in two hours
to turn over discovery.
Of what? What discovery?
Contracts, Harvey's travel information.
Photos of his anatomy.
Oh, my God.
Yes, exactly. It's harassment.
These woman are after Harvey.
And why do you think
they're "after" him?
Because Harvey's an easy target.
But these women are Democrats. Right?
Diane is worried that
this will be the plaintiff's
argument in court.
Right, Diane?
ROISIN: They lie because
actresses have a limited shelf life,
and they feel Harvey hasn't
advanced their careers.
We have investigators
that have all of the background
you need on these women.
Yes, what is that? Black Cube?
How do you know about Black Cube?
I do my research.
- What is Black Cube?
- Israeli investigators.
They're brought on board
- to make the women look bad.
- Look,
we came to you because you're the best.
And because Harvey wanted a woman
and an African-American
man defending him.
So, are you up for it,
or should we move on?
We are definitely up for it.
ADRIAN: Diane, what
is going on with you?!
Now, you've told me yourself
you liked his movies.
He's a serial rapist, Adrian.
A sexual predator.
And how do you know that?
Because I
Because of these women coming forward.
These women are coming
forward for attention,
because he's a screamer.
You know you're saying he's
guilty until proven innocent.
No, I am looking at the evidence.
There is no evidence,
Diane. Wh-What evidence?
The Ronan Farrow revelations.
You're talking about that story
that NBC refused to broadcast
because it was so shoddy?
They're only saying that
because they are covering
up for Matt Lauer.
(LAUGHING): Matt Lauer? My God!
Jesus Christ, Diane!
You're dealing in rumors.
- Not facts.
- If we had done the same thing with Reddick,
we'd be a lot better off now.
What?
- What about Carl?
- Nothing.
Diane, what have you heard about Carl?
Nothing.
Yet.
What do you mean "yet"?
Harvey Weinstein will
blow up in our face.
We need to drop him.
Maybe you haven't been
paying attention, Diane.
We need Weinstein more than he needs us.
We're not doing well.
What do you mean?
The Hillary tax.
The what?
The rise in corporate taxes.
It's not just hitting our bottom line,
it's hitting our clients.
Why do you think we're
getting into entertainment?
We need to keep Weinstein happy.
Or we need to have a conversation
about dissolving and bankruptcy.
- What about my dad?
- What?
I heard you say that there was a rumor
about my dad; what rumor?
Nothing.
These women only want justice.
Your Honor, they deserve
to see this evidence.
The defense attorney keeps arguing
that this is harassment,
and Mr. Weinstein's a very busy man.
Well, we're not asking
that Mr. Weinstein gather
this information himself.
He has a lot of lawyers.
Let them do it for him.
JUDGE: You made your point, Counselor.
Defense?
Your Honor, the plaintiff is
not just asking for schedules.
They're asking for
photos of our client's
most sensitive anatomy.
And the reason why is they want
to force us into a settlement.
This is about money.
- No, it isn't.
- Yes, it is.
You're not righting a wrong.
This is about a few bitter actresses
who didn't get the part
- Bitter actresses?
- going after a man
No, I don't think so.
- And don't defame my clients. Do not!

Ms. Ann Howard, is denied.
I'm not seeing any
evidence of real harassment.
- HOWARD: Your Honor
- MATA: No.
This is a simple case
of "he said, she said".
In fact, it's worse.
The case rests on an old cliché,
the Hollywood casting couch.
Well, that may have been true
in the old studio system,
but with major Wall
Street companies like this,
no one would risk that kind of exposure.
I rule for the defense.
And I would suggest, Ms. Ann Howard,
you talk to your clients.

His Honor would like to
speak to you for a second?
I, uh, want to be clear:
this has nothing to do with my ruling.
This is not ex parte.
Do we understand?
- Yes, Your Honor.
- Good.
My daughter is looking for
an internship this summer,
and she would love to find a spot
in a large production
company like Mr. Weinstein's.
Could you put in a good word for her?
Certainly, Your Honor.
Good, good.
She would really love to be
under Mr. Weinstein this summer.
Mm.
I'll speak to Weinstein's
people about the internship.
What? You want to?
No, I'm just thinking,
justice is an equation.
What kind of equation?
Justice equals the law
times the zeitgeist.
The law on its own doesn't stand up.
You need the mood of
the times on your side.
Diane, we just won.
The zeitgeist worked for us.
But against women.
The president's a woman.
How is it against women?
In my dream, women got together
and held a march and said "no more".
Yeah, well, that's
the thing with dreams.
You can make them anything you want.
My guess would be that only
the women partners
got to say "no more".
We associates we can't risk it.
Harvey saves two or
three internship spots
each summer for his friends.
Malia Obama did one a few years ago.
That's great. The judge will love that.
Oh, um (CLEARS THROAT)
Can you do one more favor for me, Lucca?
Harvey asked that a lawyer drop by
with these court documents
to have them signed.
- He wants me?
- Yeah, just to drop by his suite.
Uh, he should drop by
our office and sign them.
Unfortunately, Harvey's
waiting for a conference call
in his hotel suite, so he can't leave.
- Well, then, I'll take them.
- No, Harvey wants Lucca to come.
Why?
Because Harvey reviews every
lawyer involved in his cases,
and he's intrigued by Lucca.
Has he seen her photo?
Diane.
What are you saying?
I'm saying you're Harvey's pimp.
Are you fucking serious?
LUCCA: Could you, uh, give us a second?
This is exactly what
I'm talking about, Diane.
I need face time with our top clients,
and you keep finding ways to stop it.
I'm going with these papers.
The client wants it, and I want it.
Lucca, listen to me. Listen
to me. This is how it will go.
You will bring those court
papers to the hotel concierge.
An he will call up, and
Weinstein will apologize
and say he can't come down,
could you bring them up to him?
So you'll ask the concierge
to bring them up to get them signed.
But Weinstein will say
he only has a few questions for you,
it'll only take a minute.
So you will go up, and
he'll answer the door,
and he'll be wearing a robe.
- (SCOFFS)
- And then he will ask you
to help him with
something in the bathroom.
He will be naked.
- Come on, Diane.

And he'll ask you to massage
his shoulders and his back.
Or he'll ask you to
watch him take a shower.

Harvey Weinstein?
Yes. Oh, he has done so
much for the women's cause.
I'm having him speak at the next
Women United for Change event.
(CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING)
You don't think his way of
working with women is suspect?
Well, yes,
I know he can be a bit handsy.
He's a bad boy, like Jack Warner.
But he is good on women's causes.
I mean, pro-choice and Hillary.
WOMAN: Ms. Lockhart, you are one
of the founders of
Women United for Change,
an organization that even
our president has mentioned.
What does Women United for
Change mean in this day and age?
It means we have a long way to go.
Really? A long way to what?
Telling our stories.
Uh, the secretary
forced to date her boss.
A comedian forced to watch a
more powerful one masturbate.
Those stories. We all have them.
Uh, okay, I, um
Tarana Burke is an
African-American activist
who works to improve the
lives of young women at risk.
She coined the phrase "Me Too" in 2006.
And it is time to bring that back
by sharing our stories online
and attaching her hashtag "#MeToo".
It shouldn't matter
that Donald Trump isn't our president.
These abuses are still going on.
Okay, thank you.
So, remember, the hashtag "#MeToo".
No one is alone.
Just come forth and share your stories.
Thank you. Ingrid, hello.
You don't have a Twitter account?
No, I never needed one.
Okay. There it is.
- Now you want it to link to Tarana Burke?
-
Yes. Her "Me Too" site.
- Me ?
- Too.
Well, that's kind of obscure.
Want something more provocative
like "Men Who Hurt Women"?
No, no, no. Just a "Me Too" hashtag.
Okay.
There it goes.
I'm not sure this
will get much traction.
You need to connect
with more influencers.
Maybe this will do it.
E NEWSCASTER: the yearly Women
Unite for Change Awards last night,
in order to celebrate
the year's achievements.
This isn't just the year of the women.
It's the decade of the women.
Women can do whatever they want.
E NEWSCASTER: Women Unite for
Change co-founder Diane Lockhart
believes women are stronger than ever.
No one is alone.
Come forward. Tell your story.
E NEWSCASTER: And tell them they did.
The splashy event raised two
million dollars for feminist causes.
Megaproducer Harvey
Weinstein contributed
a matching fund of two million.
Was that supposed to send
people to the You-too site?
Did you call Weinstein's person a pimp?
- Yes, I did.
- LIZ: Why?
Because she's a pimp.
A pimp as in ?
She procures sex for Weinstein.
They want you to apologize.
- (LAUGHS) Seriously?
- Yes.
They sent over that
letter for you to sign.
"Dear Mr. Weinstein,
Please, I beg you to not stop reading.
I have done a terrible thing.
But what I did was beyond
being oblivious to humanity"?
(LAUGHS)
ADRIAN: They're serious.
They're threatening
to pull their business.
Then let them. Seriously, fuck them!
Diane?
I don't think you realize how
close we are to Chapter 11.
And Weinstein will make a difference?
Yes. We're going to have
to start firing associates.
I know you have heard
rumors about Weinstein,
but we've defended wife-killers.
Lisa Bloom defended Weinstein.
I've heard you go on about her.
Why are you drawing the line here?
Then take me off the account.
- The Weinstein account?
- Yes. You're right.
Everyone deserves a defense.
Just not everyone deserves my defense.
Oh, Zoe.
I didn't know we had a meeting.
We don't. I just wanted
to drop by to discuss something.
- Okay?
- I asked Lucca to be here, too.
What's "Me Too"?
It's a website of women
trading stories of abuse.
This is what you were talking
about at Women Unite for Change?
- Yes.
- Several women approached me asking about it.
I had to admit I didn't know about it.
You started this?
No. Tarana Burke did.
- But you're popularizing it?
- Well, if I can.
I mean, it's supposed to be
a grassroots women's movement.
Okay. I need you to remove it.
What? Why?
You're trying to suggest women
get angry about abuse, right?
Yes.
That's not the message
that helps us in 2020.
Hillary only gets reelected
if men don't feel women are
leading with their anger.
But women are angry.
No, they're not.
Women are making advances now.
And they're doing it
through competence,
not through grievance.
What about women who are being abused?
Who have been abused?
They will find support from Hillary.
From this administration.
So you're asking them to just shut up?
No, I'm asking them to
get a woman reelected
to the highest office in the land.
If Hillary doesn't win, Trump wins.
Then what do we have?
(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
Diane?
I just realized something.
W-Where's my husband?
- What?
- I've spent the last few days at work
and I-I haven't talked to him once.
Where is he?
Have you called him?
No.
ZOE: So you're dropping the website?
I ha I have to find my husband.
- Diane.
- Whatever you want. Whatever you need.
I-I have to go home.
Diane.
The Weinstein people
- are asking you to take a step back.
- Yes.
I already said: replace me.
No, they're asking you to take
a step back from the firm.
And what did you say?
I said we needed to talk.
(LAUGHS): Okay.
Well, I'm heading home. You
can do whatever you want.
- You don't need to head home.
- No, I do.
I don't know how I changed my clothes.
I went to that event last night
and I, and I had different clothes on.
And I have different clothes on now.
And I don't know where Kurt is.
