Scene 21 of 143 · ≈ 1 min on screen · Act two
The Boston Globe's Spotlight team pries open the Catholic Church's decades-long cover-up of child abuse — one sealed record, one silenced victim at a time.
Robby's Spotlight team operates comfortably inside its own routine, prospecting a modest police-corruption story under a departing editor's cover.
Baron's outsider question exposes what the paper has never done: investigate whether Cardinal Law knowingly protected an abusive priest.
Sacha's grandmother and her weekly Mass become the story's throughline for what belief costs the people closest to the reporters.
Marty gets lost trying to find the Publisher's office in the Globe's unfamiliar executive wing.
Marty tells Publisher Richard Gilman he intends to sue the Church to unseal the Geoghan documents, over Gilman's warning about the paper's Catholic subscriber base.
Mike arrives at Mitchell Garabedian's cluttered office and waits while the lawyer yells behind a closed door.
This scene
Robby and Sacha stride across an enormous, marble and stone lobby, a STARK CONTRAST to Garabedian’s digs.
