The story so far
Everything you need before watchingRobby knocks on an old friend's door after dark, smiling like this is a social call. He needs Jim Sullivan to confirm a list: the Globe will not print the cover-up without a name from the lawyers' side. Jim throws him out, then follows him onto the driveway. Yes, everybody knew. So where was Robby all those years. Watch a man hide behind his job, then flip the shame back onto the reporter who arrived too late.
