Video1
Talia: It's all so incredible, Mom. I’m working on a story about one of the national soccer players, Nick Crawford…. No, that's the thing. He knows that one of his teammates has framed him. And I believe he's innocent.
[ Knock on door ]
Talia: Look, Mom, I have to go. I’II call you tomorrow, OK? Bye. Yes, yes, me, too. Bye．
Nick: Hi．I came as soon as I could．What’s up?
Talia: I’ve been thinking about this all day…. Now tell me, again:When and how did you meet this Jackie Baker woman?
Nick: I’ve already told you．She came up to me at the juice bar．We set up a meeting．
Talia: Right．At her office．Except you never went up to her office．
Nick: Right, so she meets me in the lobby, we shake hands, and she takes me to lunch．
Talia: Yes, to a little place around the corner, as I recaII.
Nick: Right. And then she asks me to endorse a new pair of shoes.
Talia: Yeah. You told me they’re called Kicks.
Nick: Right. And she explains that I, II have to wear the shoes when I play. And the company will use my name in the ads.
Talia: OK. Can you think of anything else?
Nick: Well, we did talk about an idea for a Kicks commercial．
Talia: A commercial? What commercial?
Nick: I told you about that, didn’t l? They wanted me to be in a commercial．
Video2
Talia: Hang on a second. You never said anything about a commercial. I wanna hear mo re about this. Don’t leave out any details. This could be important．
Nick: OK. So, over lunch she describes the deal…
Jackie: So, you’ll wear our shoes when you play. And we’ll use your name in ads. Do that and fifty thousand dollars is yours.
Nick: Sounds good. And this will be sometime next year?
Jackie: Uh, yeah, that’s right. We can work out the details later for this, but we’ll probably want you to appear in a commercial.
Nick: Cool!
Jackie: In fact. I'm working on an idea for a commercial right now. Do you wanna hear about it?
Nick: Sure.
Jackie: OK. Picture this. You’re sitting in a park. On a bench. It’s a beautiful spring day.
Nick: So far, So good.
Jackie: OK. A young kid comes up to you and says, “Hey! Aren’t you Nick Crawford, the soccer star?”
Nick: Uh—huh.
Jackie: And you say, “That’s me. ”Or something like that．
Nick: Right．
Jackie: And then the kid says, “Wow! Cool shoes! What are they?” And you say, “Kicks. What else?”
Nick: That’s it?
Jackie: That’s it.
Nick: So, all I have to do is sit on the bench…and talk to a kid?
Jackie: That’s all you have to do.
Talia: That’s what I thought! This Jackie person recorded your conversation over lunch. Then she edited the tape, So it sounds like you’re accepting a bribe.
Nick: Oh. wow!
Unit 2 A Hot Lead
Video1
Talia: Tony, I need to see you. I have to bring you up to date on the Nick Crawford story.

Tony: Well, what does you r audio expert say?
Talia: I forgot to tell you. It‘s definitely Nick's voice. And he said the tape was definitely edited.
Tony: But I don’t get it. Who’s behind this?
Talia: One of Nick’s teammates, Dean Bishop. He resents being in Nick’s shadow. He wants to be the only star on the team.
Tony: Of course! The bottom line is… being the star is worth a lot of money in endorsements.
Talia: Still. I can’t imagine…
Tony: OK. So, now, what’s you r plan?
Talia: I have an idea. I need some help from Amy.
Tony: Fine. You can have another day on this and we won’t run the story yet. But one more thing, Talia, I hope you’re not emotionally involved in this story.
Talia: Me? Emotionally involved?
Tony: I know you wanna clear Nick’s name. But if you wanna have a career in journalism, you have to remember to stay objective.
