After watching the video, I had some doubts. In fact, when the video was halfway through, I probably guessed that the informer was the daughter of the person whose identity was exposed to the CIA. In order to find the answer, I continued to watch the movie.
The viewing is over
In the end, in order to verify whether my judgment is logical, I carefully read the film reviews, but the ending was disappointing. Film critics who may have seen the film did not get the point where the film really emphasizes.
First of all, it goes without saying that journalist Miss Armstrong Rachel seeks to increase visibility and credibility within the industry. Started writing the dark side of the government's follow-up to the assassination, which was then published on major platforms (The Sun, etc.). The impact of this report on society was so wide that it shook the so-called "liberal democracy" so deeply that the government was caught off guard.
Note that Rachel's starting point at this time is to pursue the "name" and "profit" of the company and the individual. In order to receive the highest honor for journalists - Pulitzer (Pulitzer Prize) for it.
However, what I never expected was that as the incident continued to escalate and ferment, this matter became no longer so simple. Rachel is arrested for concealing her identity as a traitor. At this time, Rachel did not expose the whistleblower because the whistleblower was just a child. If it were exposed, then Rachel would lose her credibility in the industry and the whole society (that is, people would not believe that children can tell the state secrets) thing), once the credibility is lost, the Pulitzer (Pulitzer) will be impossible to talk about...
Point1. Rachel is selfish at this time.
At the same time, Erica. Erica (who has been exposed to CIA status) is shot and killed by a stranger in a trance.
Note that at this point reporter Rachel realizes the complexity of the matter and the fact that Erica has died (irretrievably). Decided to endure prison alone and kept the informer (Erica. Erica's daughter) unintentionally leaking the secret to herself to death, in order to protect Erica's daughter from the burden of her own growing up. The fact that her fault led to the killing of the mother (i.e. the child's psychological shadow or psychological baggage), Rachel did this because she is a mother herself, and can empathize with how important the child's mental health is as she grows up. At the same time, it is also to fulfill Rachel's promise to the whistleblower (Erica's daughter) in the car.
Point2. At this time, Rachel is selfless
