Eddie Brock with boots on the ground
today in the Mission District, chasing a lead into some...
Everybody knows how our Silicon Valley overlords
at Google and Facebook... Last time, I was poking around
asking uncomfortable questions...
Homelessness is only increasing into the thousands...
Eddie Brock here reporting today from downtown Oakland,
where massive demonstrations have taken over the streets.
I've been chasing this real-estate bribery story
for a few weeks now.
This is gonna piss you off. ...all being strong-armed...
Medical examiner has yet to determine cause of death,
due to the condition of the body,
but you don't wind up at the bottom of a landfill
due to natural causes, so it seems that the city
doesn't care about these people any more than the killer does.
I'm Eddie Brock, and this is The Brock Report.
Hey, Richard!
- Lookin' good! - Eddie, you can't park there, bro.
Come on, man. There's no such thing as can't.
How'd she do?
Berkeley. Brown. MIT.
- She's got a scholarship, bro. - What'd I tell you?
You told me what?
- No such thing as can't. - Eddie.
The bike.
MIT! Whoo!
You know what I love about this view?
- It never gets old. - Yeah, well, uh...
Height's not really my thing.
But, uh... What's the deal?
- I got you the big one, exclusive. - Yeah? Who?
Carlton Drake.
- Carlton Drake? - The man's a visionary.
He wants to talk about his rockets,
assure everyone they're safe, that the crash was an anomaly.
Uh...
He's... He's seriously off.
I'm gonna level with you.
Carlton Drake could buy us with his pocket cash,
turn this building into his own garage if he so wished.
Now, you're just gonna ask him about his space program,
you're gonna thank him, and you're gonna bid him a nice day.
He's a crook.
Eddie, when you had nowhere to go, we gave you a home.
Now, you know we love the Eddie Brock show.
There isn't a better investigative reporter working today,
but no one is above the network.
So do me a favor, Eddie, don't start your shit again.
All right, all right.
- For me. - All right. I'll do it.
I don't know why he gave me this assignment, Annie.
It's not... It's not what I do.
Well, my mother always told me
that anything in life worth having would take sacrifice...
- Mmm-hmm. - Patience...
- Mmm. - And be a lot of work.
- Oh. - That's you...
- That's not. - ...that I'm talking about.
- Nah. - Yeah.
Well, you're lucky to have me.
To be fair, I'm quite a catch.
That's what my mom told me.
Are you gonna behave yourself tomorrow?
No. No, I'm gonna do my job. That's what I'm gonna do.
I can't, you know, not do my job.
The guy you work for is a complete...
I don't work for Drake. I work for my firm,
and my firm works for him.
And I'm sure that they defend many people
that you don't deem worthy, but we don't want a repeat.
- A repeat? - Of the Daily Globe incident.
Ow! Really?
- Incident? That's not an incident. - Mmm-hmm.
- Baby, you were run out of New York. - I was not. I did not.
I don't want you run out of San Francisco.
No, I still have currency in New York.
I was going places.
I wasn't running.
I was going places.
In fact, I moved to San Francisco for you.
- Me? - You are my home.
You're not so bad yourself, champ.
- Less talking, more kissing. - All right.
Let's just get the check.
I'm gonna get a drink.
