INT. THE VANGAURD, RICHARD’S OFFICE - EVENING End of a long day. Eileen sits in a large CONFERENCE ROOM with Richard, two other EDITORS, A SENIOR PR and a HEAD OF LEGAL. The tension in the room is thick. Eileen is on edge. RICHARD Anything from your source? EILEEN He’s gone dark. Disappeared. Embassy said he took personal time. HEAD OF LEGAL

RICHARD Either way, the documents your source supplied are a real concern. They claim they’re photoshopped. EILEEN He’s a bad guy. We know it. RICHARD Maybe but if those documents are forged, it’s an issue. They’re framing it as a hit piece with racial motives. SENIOR PR (Looking at a print out) These tweets are all you, correct? EILEEN Yeah, and I stand by them. Come on, Richard, this is all smoke. The fact remains, the General used his power and connections to help bad people sell arms and innocent people died as a result! RICHARD There’s another element at play, Eileen. Connected to race. (Off Eileen’s look) Complaints have surfaced. About how you’ve treated the staff.
