I Beg Your Pardon

Ben Jansen is an independent journalist who found himself on the wrong side of the law after falling in with the wrong people during a major investigation. Jack Mason is a recently elected governor who ran on a platform of transparency and ending corruption in government.

After exposing severe corruption in a major police investigation Ben Jansen became a notorious criminal, but more recently a sensation for journalists and activists all over the state. It only seems natural the governor should grant him a pardon. It seems like a straightforward conversation until the young journalist strikes a raw nerve with the governor and their conversation takes a dramatic turn.
