Granted, a few of the things
he said did hurt me,

just once he wished

I'd read something
other than catalogues.

00:08:45,925 --> 00:08:47,651
Yeah. Except this time
178
00:08:47,727 --> 00:08:49,978
they're asking strangers
for the ransom money.
179
00:08:50,054 --> 00:08:51,604
They didn't
call it ransom.
180
00:08:51,681 --> 00:08:53,356
They called it
download fees.
181
00:08:53,433 --> 00:08:56,317
A buck 99 from 100,000
different people.
182
00:08:56,394 --> 00:08:57,827
Those little jerks
just might get it.
183
00:08:59,647 --> 00:09:01,406
She did look terrified.
184
00:09:01,482 --> 00:09:03,992
Yeah, and in earlier videos,
she would flirt and be petulant.
185
00:09:04,068 --> 00:09:05,627
I mean, she's acting.
186
00:09:05,704 --> 00:09:07,337
You think it's real?
187
00:09:09,407 --> 00:09:10,848
I don't know.
188
00:09:10,925 --> 00:09:13,751
Gimme a body with some
blood on it at a crime scene,
189
00:09:13,828 --> 00:09:15,628
I'm a happy camper.
190
00:09:15,705 --> 00:09:19,674
A cyber crime scene--I don't
know what to make of this.
191
00:09:19,685 --> 00:09:21,601
(Wheeler)
Check the Digipay
website.
192
00:09:21,678 --> 00:09:23,845
Someone must have registered
something with them.
193
00:09:23,921 --> 00:09:25,680
(Ross)
The Digipay people
are taking the position
194
00:09:25,691 --> 00:09:27,515
that this is a right
to privacy issue
195
00:09:27,592 --> 00:09:28,725
and a First Amendment issue.
196
00:09:28,801 --> 00:09:29,967
Oh, please,
what a bunch of jerks.
197
00:09:30,045 --> 00:09:32,687
Listen, the D.A.'s office
won't go to bat
198
00:09:32,764 --> 00:09:35,198
until we can establish proof
that real people are missing
199
00:09:35,275 --> 00:09:36,733
or that a crime
has been committed.
200
00:09:36,743 --> 00:09:38,901
Any leads on this
D.H. Foster kid?
201
00:09:38,978 --> 00:09:41,362
He dropped out of film school
a year and a half ago.
202
00:09:41,439 --> 00:09:43,531
No emergency contact numbers,
but the film school said
203
00:09:43,608 --> 00:09:45,658
that they have
an Elmira High School transcript
204
00:09:45,735 --> 00:09:47,410
from 2004.
205
00:09:47,412 --> 00:09:50,038
Find out if anyone up there
remembers him...or her.
206
00:09:50,114 --> 00:09:54,217
In the meantime,
I'll...
207
00:09:54,294 --> 00:09:56,711
meet the press.
208
00:09:56,788 --> 00:09:59,714
[shouting questions]
209
00:09:59,725 --> 00:10:03,593
They have not been
positively identified.
210
00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:05,386
We are asking the public
for assistance.
211
00:10:05,463 --> 00:10:07,021
We have a tip line set up
212
00:10:07,098 --> 00:10:08,765
for anyone who can identify
these two young people.
213
00:10:08,841 --> 00:10:11,351
What about shutting down
the Digipay account?
214
00:10:11,427 --> 00:10:12,935
We are in discussions
with them.
215
00:10:13,012 --> 00:10:14,687
Is this all just
an elaborate hoax?
216
00:10:14,764 --> 00:10:16,731
We can't be certain.
217
00:10:16,808 --> 00:10:20,318
Our priority is to make sure
no innocent lives are harmed
218
00:10:20,395 --> 00:10:22,362
and that the public
is not duped.
219
00:10:22,438 --> 00:10:24,781
Please do not allow
these cyberthugs
220
00:10:24,857 --> 00:10:28,785
to hold you hostage by sending
them your hard-earned money.
221
00:10:28,861 --> 00:10:30,069
If it's not a hoax,
222
00:10:30,071 --> 00:10:31,079
then you've just
encouraged the public
223
00:10:31,155 --> 00:10:32,497
to ignore the ransom demand.
224
00:10:32,573 --> 00:10:33,923
Willow and Holden
could be killed.
225
00:10:35,785 --> 00:10:37,377
Look, we're committed
226
00:10:37,453 --> 00:10:38,795
to a peaceful end
to the situation
227
00:10:38,871 --> 00:10:41,005
where nobody gets hurt,
including the public.
228
00:10:41,082 --> 00:10:42,641
Thank you very much
for coming out.
229
00:10:42,717 --> 00:10:45,385
(female reporter)
Captain Ross,
I have a question here.
230
00:10:45,461 --> 00:10:47,595
(male reporter)
Is this an elaborate hoax?
231
00:10:47,672 --> 00:10:49,439
One more question!
232
00:10:53,803 --> 00:10:56,104
D.H. Foster.
233
00:10:56,180 --> 00:10:58,606
Oh, now I remember him.
234
00:10:58,683 --> 00:11:00,408
He transferred in
his senior year.
235
00:11:00,485 --> 00:11:01,901
I think his family
was military.
236
00:11:01,978 --> 00:11:05,446
He became that "mysterious boy
from far away."
237
00:11:05,523 --> 00:11:07,031
(Wheeler)
The one all the girls
had a crush on?
238
00:11:07,108 --> 00:11:08,616
(Logan)
And the one the boys hated.
239
00:11:08,693 --> 00:11:09,826
What about Willow?
240
00:11:09,902 --> 00:11:11,077
I checked with Admissions,
241
00:11:11,154 --> 00:11:13,079
and we don't have a match
for her name.
242
00:11:13,156 --> 00:11:16,040
But the face...
243
00:11:16,117 --> 00:11:19,001
There was a girl
who registered in 2004,
244
00:11:19,078 --> 00:11:20,002
very shy.
245
00:11:20,079 --> 00:11:22,055
She didn't last two weeks.
246
00:11:22,132 --> 00:11:24,632
Different hair
and thick glasses,
247
00:11:24,643 --> 00:11:26,309
but...could be her.
248
00:11:26,386 --> 00:11:27,936
She dropped out?
249
00:11:28,012 --> 00:11:29,929
She'd been home-schooled
all her life.
250
00:11:30,006 --> 00:11:32,473
I think she was
a little overwhelmed.
251
00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:34,809
Well, we'd love to get
in touch with her.
252
00:11:34,886 --> 00:11:36,235
Any ideas?
253
00:11:36,313 --> 00:11:37,821
I bet she went back
to the family farm
254
00:11:37,897 --> 00:11:40,824
and never set foot
outside it again.
255
00:11:43,144 --> 00:11:44,861
[softly]
Please,
256
00:11:44,937 --> 00:11:46,779
somebody help us.
257
00:11:46,856 --> 00:11:48,823
Listen.
258
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:49,991
Holden--
259
00:11:50,067 --> 00:11:51,667
[grunts]
260
00:11:51,745 --> 00:11:53,953
he tried to escape
and they caught him.
261
00:11:54,030 --> 00:11:56,539
Please,
just do what they want.
262
00:11:56,616 --> 00:11:58,499
They're--
they're beating him.
263
00:11:58,576 --> 00:12:00,501
Oh, my God!
264
00:12:00,578 --> 00:12:03,963
Please just go to the site
and download those videos.
265
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,757
I know some of you
think I'm a fake,
266
00:12:05,833 --> 00:12:07,508
but I'm a real person.
267
00:12:07,585 --> 00:12:09,802
Please.
Please listen to me.
268
00:12:09,879 --> 00:12:12,430
My name is Lisa Willow Tyler.
269
00:12:12,507 --> 00:12:14,015
I'm from Elmira, New York.
270
00:12:14,091 --> 00:12:16,517
If someone--
if someone could tell my mom,
271
00:12:16,528 --> 00:12:17,569
please.
272
00:12:23,351 --> 00:12:24,859
(female reporter)
We're live from the Tyler farm
273
00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:26,611
in Elmira, New York,
asking the question
274
00:12:26,621 --> 00:12:27,871
everyone wants answered.
275
00:12:27,947 --> 00:12:30,239
Is it real
or is it fake?
276
00:12:30,316 --> 00:12:32,909
It's been 24 hours since tape
of her supposed kidnap
277
00:12:32,985 --> 00:12:34,643
hit the web,
278
00:12:34,721 --> 00:12:36,996
and since then,
thousands of her internet fans
279
00:12:37,073 --> 00:12:39,916
have responded to her alleged
kidnappers' ransom demands.
280
00:12:39,992 --> 00:12:42,168
Please,
just do what they want.
281
00:12:42,245 --> 00:12:43,961
They're--
they're beating him.
282
00:12:44,038 --> 00:12:45,013
Oh, my God.
283
00:12:45,089 --> 00:12:48,591
Our Lisa in a movie?
284
00:12:48,668 --> 00:12:51,636
I-It looks like her,
but it can't be.
285
00:12:51,712 --> 00:12:54,847
You don't think anything's
happened to her, do you?
286
00:12:54,924 --> 00:12:56,182
We don't know.
287
00:12:56,259 --> 00:12:58,017
When was the last time
you spoke to her?
288
00:12:58,094 --> 00:13:01,020
Oh, she called
about a month ago.
289
00:13:01,097 --> 00:13:03,189
Forgive me
for asking this.
290
00:13:03,266 --> 00:13:05,900
Um, is Lisa your daughter
or your granddaughter?
291
00:13:05,977 --> 00:13:07,819
No, she's ours.
292
00:13:07,895 --> 00:13:09,695
We called her
our miracle baby.
293
00:13:09,772 --> 00:13:13,199
So I guess she doesn't
check in too often?
294
00:13:13,276 --> 00:13:15,284
Well, she's in Africa.
295
00:13:15,361 --> 00:13:17,870
She doesn't have regular
access to a phone.
296
00:13:17,947 --> 00:13:19,914
in Africa?
297
00:13:19,991 --> 00:13:21,874
She's spending a year
in Cameroon
298
00:13:21,951 --> 00:13:23,835
through the World Healths
Care Foundation
299
00:13:23,911 --> 00:13:25,044
helping to build schools.
300
00:13:25,121 --> 00:13:26,154
(Logan)
Oh.
301
00:13:26,230 --> 00:13:29,224
You get many postcards
from Africa?
302
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,176
No.
303
00:13:32,253 --> 00:13:34,562
But she did send this.
304
00:13:40,136 --> 00:13:42,737
It's a traditional
Cameroon musical instrument.
305
00:13:44,140 --> 00:13:47,942
I'm sorry, but this
is an Australian instrument.
306
00:13:48,019 --> 00:13:51,913
There's a kangaroo design
burnt right into it.
307
00:13:53,983 --> 00:13:55,992
I don't understand.
308
00:13:56,068 --> 00:13:58,920
Mr. and Mrs. Tyler, your
daughter has been lying to you.
309
00:14:00,406 --> 00:14:02,090
(Logan)
Excuse me.
310
00:14:03,969 --> 00:14:06,127
Do you remember how she
sent you this instrument?
311
00:14:06,203 --> 00:14:09,755
A childhood friend of hers
brought it to us--
312
00:14:09,832 --> 00:14:11,566
Suzie Waller.
313
00:14:12,793 --> 00:14:15,344
(Suzie)
Of course Lisa made up
that story about Africa.
314
00:14:15,421 --> 00:14:17,730
If her parents knew she was
in New York with Holden,
315
00:14:17,807 --> 00:14:19,048
they'd freak.
316
00:14:19,125 --> 00:14:20,933
They didn't even let her
listen to rock music,
317
00:14:21,010 --> 00:14:22,393
no cable TV.
318
00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:24,103
Her mom sewed her dresses.
319
00:14:24,180 --> 00:14:26,939
No boyfriends.
A lonely life.
320
00:14:27,016 --> 00:14:29,108
She used to meet Holden
at my house.
321
00:14:29,185 --> 00:14:31,152
She do that a lot,
sneak around,
322
00:14:31,228 --> 00:14:32,737
make up stories?
323
00:14:32,813 --> 00:14:34,155
Just white lies.
324
00:14:34,231 --> 00:14:36,115
She's a good girl.
325
00:14:36,192 --> 00:14:38,993
And Holden,
kind of a bad boy?
326
00:14:39,004 --> 00:14:41,787
He could talk.
I'll give him that.
327
00:14:41,864 --> 00:14:46,125
Uh--could you
just for a sec?
328
00:14:46,202 --> 00:14:47,685
Thanks.
329
00:14:47,762 --> 00:14:49,795
(Wheeler)
You've seen
her video logs?
330
00:14:49,872 --> 00:14:52,006
I have a full-time job,
a part-time job,
331
00:14:52,017 --> 00:14:53,499
and an 8-month-old son.
332
00:14:53,576 --> 00:14:56,019
I don't really have a lot of
time for surfing the net.
333
00:14:56,095 --> 00:14:57,770
She made up
a trip to Africa.
334
00:14:57,772 --> 00:14:59,764
You don't think she could have
made up this kidnapping?
335
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,975
Lisa and I used to daydream
about becoming famous,
336
00:15:03,052 --> 00:15:06,062
getting out of here,
you know?
337
00:15:06,138 --> 00:15:09,148
Well, I guess she is
famous now--kind of.
338
00:15:09,225 --> 00:15:11,400
We've only spoken once
since she's been to the city.
339
00:15:11,477 --> 00:15:13,036
We're both so busy.
Thank you.
340
00:15:13,112 --> 00:15:15,038
Do you know where
she's living now?
341
00:15:15,114 --> 00:15:16,739
Only that she found
the place on Craigslist,
342
00:15:16,750 --> 00:15:19,158
a finished sublet,
343
00:15:19,235 --> 00:15:21,410
perfect love nest
for young couple.
344
00:15:21,487 --> 00:15:23,996
"Perfect love nest
for young couple"?
345
00:15:24,073 --> 00:15:25,998
Those were
the exact words?
346
00:15:26,075 --> 00:15:28,250
Yeah. She liked thinking
of her and Holden
347
00:15:28,327 --> 00:15:29,444
as a young couple.
348
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,337
I gotta get him
to my mom's.
349
00:15:31,414 --> 00:15:34,173
I'm gonna be late
for my shift at the diner.
350
00:15:34,250 --> 00:15:35,391
Can you let yourselves out?
Sure, sure.
351
00:15:41,048 --> 00:15:42,765
If I was Lisa,
352
00:15:42,842 --> 00:15:45,142
I'd run away too.
353
00:15:49,015 --> 00:15:51,107
(Wheeler)
This girl grew up
in the middle of nowhere
354
00:15:51,183 --> 00:15:53,526
with two people old enough
to be her grandparents.
355
00:15:53,602 --> 00:15:56,237
She was sheltered
to the point of being smothered.
356
00:15:56,313 --> 00:15:58,998
Weeping Willow was her way
of busting out of that world.
357
00:15:59,075 --> 00:16:01,033
She can't find a better way
to make a splash
358
00:16:01,110 --> 00:16:03,086
than to stage
a kidnapping?
359
00:16:03,162 --> 00:16:07,081
(Logan)
Hey, a witness
just came forward.
360
00:16:07,092 --> 00:16:09,467
Do not sent your money
to Weeping Willow 17.
361
00:16:09,544 --> 00:16:11,377
She's a scam artist,
362
00:16:11,454 --> 00:16:13,137
a faker.
363
00:16:13,214 --> 00:16:15,047
Willow and Holden
are thieves.
364
00:16:15,124 --> 00:16:17,216
I scripted a cyberkidnapping
video drama
365
00:16:17,293 --> 00:16:19,760
right here,
two years ago
366
00:16:19,837 --> 00:16:21,220
at the New York
Film Academy.
367
00:16:21,231 --> 00:16:23,398
Holden was a classmate
of mine!
368
00:16:23,474 --> 00:16:25,090
He blatantly ripped me off.
369
00:16:25,168 --> 00:16:28,060
I want the whole world
to know the truth.
370
00:16:28,137 --> 00:16:29,270
This guy's foaming
at the mouth.
371
00:16:29,346 --> 00:16:31,138
Ira, track this guy down.
372
00:16:31,215 --> 00:16:33,232
We need to see what he can tell
us about Holden's whereabouts.
373
00:16:33,243 --> 00:16:35,359
This will help--I've got a hit
on the Craigslist ad.
374
00:16:35,436 --> 00:16:37,236
For the love nest?
375
00:16:37,313 --> 00:16:40,573
I dipped into a cache of old
postings from last spring,
376
00:16:40,649 --> 00:16:44,201
and then here it is.
377
00:16:44,212 --> 00:16:47,955
Detective Logan was right on--
it's in Clinton Village.
378
00:16:47,966 --> 00:16:49,832
You should be happy--you may
finally have a crime scene.
379
00:16:49,909 --> 00:16:51,292
Can't wait.
380
00:16:51,368 --> 00:16:52,585
I bet when we get there,
381
00:16:52,661 --> 00:16:54,971
they'll be watching TV
and laughing at us.
382
00:17:05,299 --> 00:17:09,393
(Logan)
Doesn't look like they expected
to be gone for very long.
383
00:17:09,470 --> 00:17:11,812
So Willow
filmed the videos here.
384
00:17:11,823 --> 00:17:13,823
The laptop
must have been there.
385
00:17:20,239 --> 00:17:21,572
These glasses--
386
00:17:21,649 --> 00:17:23,324
Holden wore them
in the video logs.
387
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,243
(Logan)
Let's get back
to this blood, huh?
388
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,703
There's a lot of it,
389
00:17:27,780 --> 00:17:29,955
and they got footprints going
right out into the hallway.
390
00:17:29,966 --> 00:17:32,333
These guys must watch
a lot of forensic TV.
391
00:17:32,409 --> 00:17:34,293
Very elaborate staging.
392
00:17:34,370 --> 00:17:36,921
Is it?
393
00:17:36,931 --> 00:17:40,549
Wheeler, you've been skeptical
from the get.
394
00:17:40,626 --> 00:17:42,218
Now you think this is real?
395
00:17:42,294 --> 00:17:44,303
This was Willow's
love nest.
396
00:17:44,380 --> 00:17:46,397
I don't think she'd want it
trashed that way.
397
00:17:48,342 --> 00:17:51,819
There were security cameras
in the elevator.
398
00:17:53,347 --> 00:17:55,981
(Ross)
Okay, out of context,
this looks real.
399
00:17:56,058 --> 00:17:58,859
In context, they knew
they were being videotaped,
400
00:17:58,936 --> 00:18:01,320
so they stay in character
till they get out the door.
401
00:18:01,397 --> 00:18:03,489
Wheeler said the door looked
like it had been knocked in.
402
00:18:03,566 --> 00:18:04,949
In that building,
403
00:18:05,025 --> 00:18:06,534
all the doors looked like
they've been knocked in.
404
00:18:06,610 --> 00:18:10,121
The blood at the scene
was human, type O.
405
00:18:10,197 --> 00:18:12,123
NCSU
found broken fingernails
406
00:18:12,199 --> 00:18:14,166
and what looks like Willow's
hair torn from the root.
407
00:18:14,177 --> 00:18:17,670
No contact from the kidnappers
since yesterday.
408
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,673
If this is real,
that's not a good sign.
409
00:18:20,749 --> 00:18:22,249
(Logan)
Well, if it is real,
410
00:18:22,251 --> 00:18:23,976
shouldn't our next move be
to contact them?
411
00:18:24,053 --> 00:18:26,437
We gave a press conference.
No response.
412
00:18:28,048 --> 00:18:30,483
Maybe that was
the wrong medium.
413
00:18:32,553 --> 00:18:35,196
They might wanna negotiate
on their own turf.
414
00:18:36,241 --> 00:18:38,357
Right.
415
00:18:38,434 --> 00:18:40,526
So which one of you two
wants to go on camera?
416
00:18:40,603 --> 00:18:42,411
Wheeler.
Not me.
417
00:18:44,690 --> 00:18:46,666
No!
418
00:18:50,580 --> 00:18:52,371
Wheeler,
419
00:18:52,448 --> 00:18:55,207
your face now represents
the entire NYPD.
420
00:18:55,284 --> 00:18:57,218
[whispers]
Do what you can.
421
00:19:02,750 --> 00:19:05,301
Okay, Wheeler, uh,
422
00:19:05,377 --> 00:19:06,352
action.
423
00:19:07,755 --> 00:19:10,222
This is Detective Megan Wheeler
of the NYPD.
424
00:19:10,299 --> 00:19:12,433
I am posting a message
to the individuals
425
00:19:12,509 --> 00:19:15,394
responsible for the
Willow/Holden kidnapping videos
426
00:19:15,471 --> 00:19:17,146
here on YouLenz.
427
00:19:17,223 --> 00:19:19,356
The Major Case Squad
has devoted valuable resources
428
00:19:19,433 --> 00:19:21,299
to this case
429
00:19:21,377 --> 00:19:23,235
in the belief that it may be
an actual hostage situation.
430
00:19:23,312 --> 00:19:25,738
If this is the case,
431
00:19:25,748 --> 00:19:28,365
I appeal to the kidnappers
to contact us
432
00:19:28,442 --> 00:19:30,326
so that we can negotiate
a peaceful end
433
00:19:30,336 --> 00:19:31,685
to the situation.
434
00:19:31,762 --> 00:19:33,245
Nobody needs to get hurt.
435
00:19:33,322 --> 00:19:34,580
If this is an elaborate hoax,
436
00:19:34,657 --> 00:19:37,383
it's gone too far.
437
00:19:41,130 --> 00:19:43,422
Bob, this is
Detective Megan Wheeler
438
00:19:43,499 --> 00:19:44,832
returning your call.
439
00:19:44,908 --> 00:19:46,383
Please call me back
when you get the message.
440
00:19:46,460 --> 00:19:47,635
Thank you.
441
00:19:47,711 --> 00:19:49,220
Welcome to your 15 minutes.
442
00:19:49,296 --> 00:19:50,721
5,000 hits
on your vlog already.
443
00:19:50,732 --> 00:19:52,315
Terrific.
(Logan)
Hey!
444
00:19:52,391 --> 00:19:55,100
The kidnappers
just posted their response.
445
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,069
(Wheeler's voice)
I appeal--I appeal--I appeal
446
00:19:57,146 --> 00:19:58,345
I appeal--I appeal
to the kidnappers.
447
00:19:58,423 --> 00:20:00,439
I appeal to the kidnappers
to contact--
448
00:20:00,516 --> 00:20:02,325
I appeal to the kidnappers
to contact us.
449
00:20:02,401 --> 00:20:04,526
T-t-to contact us.
Nobody needs to get hurt.
450
00:20:04,603 --> 00:20:06,403
Get hurt. Get hurt.
G-g-g-get hurt.
451
00:20:06,414 --> 00:20:08,447
I know some of you online
are still saying
452
00:20:08,524 --> 00:20:09,740
this is a fake,
453
00:20:09,817 --> 00:20:11,700
but it's real.
454
00:20:11,777 --> 00:20:15,287
I'm telling you this is
actually happening to us.
455
00:20:15,364 --> 00:20:16,622
[distorted voice]
You're not showing us respect.
456
00:20:16,699 --> 00:20:20,709
22,158 hits is not enough
457
00:20:20,786 --> 00:20:23,387
to keep Willow and Holden
alive.
458
00:20:24,498 --> 00:20:26,090
After that,
459
00:20:26,166 --> 00:20:28,100
bang, bang--
weep for Willow.
460
00:20:28,177 --> 00:20:30,353
And Detective Megan Wheeler?
461
00:20:30,429 --> 00:20:32,521
If you still don't
believe us...
462
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,310
Oh, my God.
463
00:20:38,387 --> 00:20:40,646
(Holden)
Believe them.
Please believe them.
464
00:20:40,723 --> 00:20:41,730
No. No. No.
465
00:20:41,807 --> 00:20:43,649
No, no,
466
00:20:43,726 --> 00:20:44,784
no!
[screams]
467
00:20:44,860 --> 00:20:47,569
Ow, my ear!
468
00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:53,534
[both sobbing]
469
00:20:53,544 --> 00:20:55,494
[screams]
470
00:20:55,571 --> 00:20:57,288
Ow, my ear!
471
00:20:57,364 --> 00:20:58,339
[overlapping sobs, screams]
472
00:21:05,789 --> 00:21:07,506
I'm telling you,
the whole story is staged.
473
00:21:07,517 --> 00:21:09,591
He stole the whole
damn thing from me.
474
00:21:09,668 --> 00:21:12,311
It's all in my script.
475
00:21:12,388 --> 00:21:14,221
You always carry
this thing around with you?
476
00:21:14,298 --> 00:21:15,389
Just read it--
477
00:21:15,466 --> 00:21:17,516
the two kidnappers,
the boyfriend,
478
00:21:17,593 --> 00:21:18,684
the girlfriend,
the Internet ransom.
479
00:21:18,761 --> 00:21:20,602
Every good kidnapping story
480
00:21:20,679 --> 00:21:22,438
has a ransom
and a romantic couple.
481
00:21:22,448 --> 00:21:24,231
There's nothing original
about that.
482
00:21:24,308 --> 00:21:26,859
Okay, more proof it's a scam?
The title.
483
00:21:26,935 --> 00:21:29,361
Weeping Willow.
I liked it.
484
00:21:29,438 --> 00:21:32,698
He stole that too.
Mine was Rescuing Rita.
485
00:21:32,775 --> 00:21:34,533
Same thing.
486
00:21:34,610 --> 00:21:37,536
His is Weeping Willow 17.
487
00:21:37,613 --> 00:21:39,538
He registered that name
three months ago.
488
00:21:39,615 --> 00:21:41,081
What more proof
do you need?
489
00:21:41,158 --> 00:21:43,709
So you were in film school
with Holden.
490
00:21:43,786 --> 00:21:45,544
Were you two friends?
491
00:21:45,621 --> 00:21:47,379
[laughs]
Friends?
492
00:21:47,456 --> 00:21:50,341
He worked for me.
He was a gaffer on my film.
493
00:21:50,417 --> 00:21:52,301
Freshman year.
494
00:21:52,303 --> 00:21:54,511
You have the thing about
the severed ear in here?
495
00:21:54,588 --> 00:21:55,663
No.
496
00:21:55,739 --> 00:21:57,890
So he did have
some ideas of his own.
497
00:21:57,966 --> 00:21:59,641
More like he ripped off
Tarantino.
498
00:21:59,718 --> 00:22:01,310
That was before her time.
499
00:22:01,387 --> 00:22:03,270
Know what?
500
00:22:03,347 --> 00:22:05,564
That ear thing--
totally bogus.
501
00:22:05,641 --> 00:22:08,233
It seemed
very convincing to me.
502
00:22:08,310 --> 00:22:10,819
Do you know how easy
that is to fake?
503
00:22:10,896 --> 00:22:12,830
We're about to find out.
504
00:22:17,444 --> 00:22:20,579
(Rodgers)
We received an ear
in the morning mail.
505
00:22:20,656 --> 00:22:22,757
With a note for you,
Wheeler.
506
00:22:24,827 --> 00:22:27,127
That makes me feel great.
507
00:22:27,204 --> 00:22:28,670
You were expecting
flowers?
508
00:22:28,747 --> 00:22:31,757
Can you tell if it comes
from someone who's alive?
509
00:22:31,834 --> 00:22:33,509
It's not from
a cadaver--yet.
510
00:22:33,585 --> 00:22:34,885
It's a healthy male ear,
511
00:22:34,962 --> 00:22:37,521
maybe someone
in their 20s.
512
00:22:40,342 --> 00:22:41,867
What else
can you tell us?
513
00:22:41,944 --> 00:22:44,561
Same blood as the blood
you found at their apartment.
514
00:22:44,638 --> 00:22:46,271
(Wheeler)
Blood loss?
515
00:22:46,348 --> 00:22:47,490
It would be significant.
516
00:22:47,566 --> 00:22:48,932
Enough to kill him?
517
00:22:49,010 --> 00:22:50,609
Not if pressure was applied.
Logan.
518
00:22:50,686 --> 00:22:52,536
Huh? Oh.
519
00:22:55,324 --> 00:22:57,208
(Ross)
All right,
the ear is real.
520
00:22:57,284 --> 00:22:58,700
Doesn't mean
the kidnapping is.
521
00:22:58,777 --> 00:23:00,619
That's a desperate move
for a hoax.
522
00:23:00,696 --> 00:23:02,287
These days,
that's the way it is.
523
00:23:02,364 --> 00:23:04,206
People do anything
to be famous.
524
00:23:04,283 --> 00:23:06,458
Or rich.
200,000 downloads so far.
525
00:23:06,535 --> 00:23:08,627
Almost half a million dollars
in four days.
526
00:23:08,704 --> 00:23:09,837
Detectives, good news.
527
00:23:09,913 --> 00:23:11,380
Holden tried to cover it up,
528
00:23:11,457 --> 00:23:13,590
but I think I picked up
his cyber trial.
529
00:23:13,667 --> 00:23:15,601
(Logan)
Lead the way.
530
00:23:22,551 --> 00:23:24,601
(Ira)
It turns out
Holden secretly registered
531
00:23:24,612 --> 00:23:27,646
Weeping Willow 17
as a domain name months ago.
532
00:23:27,723 --> 00:23:29,097
Same account.
533
00:23:29,174 --> 00:23:31,567
He also opened a virtual
production office online
534
00:23:31,643 --> 00:23:34,278
for scripts, casting.
535
00:23:34,288 --> 00:23:36,288
30 wannabes responded
to the posting
536
00:23:36,365 --> 00:23:37,990
for "thuggy kidnappers."
537
00:23:38,066 --> 00:23:39,867
I printed out the head shots.
538
00:23:39,943 --> 00:23:41,535
All right,
so let's watch the video,
539
00:23:41,612 --> 00:23:44,213
see if we recognize anyone,
maybe from their build.
540
00:23:46,867 --> 00:23:48,667
(Logan)
All right, freeze that.
541
00:23:48,744 --> 00:23:51,804
That guy's arm--
some kind of a tattoo.
542
00:23:51,881 --> 00:23:54,223
Looks like a snake.
543
00:23:55,751 --> 00:23:57,468
This looks like
the same tat.
544
00:23:57,544 --> 00:23:58,936
"Reggie Luckman."
545
00:24:02,925 --> 00:24:04,567
But it's not a snake.
546
00:24:04,643 --> 00:24:05,976
(Logan)
What is it?
547
00:24:06,053 --> 00:24:07,695
It's a ribbon of film.
548
00:24:13,310 --> 00:24:14,785
(Logan)
Gotcha.
549
00:24:16,772 --> 00:24:18,581
He used to live here.
No more.
550
00:24:18,657 --> 00:24:21,575
That's not what Reggie's
parole officer told us.
551
00:24:21,586 --> 00:24:23,110
Yeah, well,
you know Parole.
552
00:24:23,186 --> 00:24:25,621
They like to have an address
that shows stability.
553
00:24:25,697 --> 00:24:27,715
(Logan)
Oh, they sure do.
554
00:24:29,451 --> 00:24:30,593
Ooh.
555
00:24:30,669 --> 00:24:34,338
Well, this is definitely
a man's shirt.
556
00:24:34,348 --> 00:24:36,465
When's the last time
you saw him?
557
00:24:36,542 --> 00:24:38,008
I don't know.
558
00:24:38,085 --> 00:24:39,885
Do we really have to go
through this drill--
559
00:24:39,962 --> 00:24:42,721
the one where I search
this place and find some drugs
560
00:24:42,798 --> 00:24:45,807
or I plant them, and either
way, you come downtown,
561
00:24:45,884 --> 00:24:47,351
you get back in the system,
562
00:24:47,427 --> 00:24:49,403
and that's all for
a schmuck who left you?
563
00:24:55,519 --> 00:24:56,902
Did you have a fight?
564
00:24:56,979 --> 00:24:58,820
No! Did Reggie
do something wrong?
565
00:24:58,897 --> 00:25:00,739
We just want to talk
to him.
566
00:25:00,816 --> 00:25:02,616
He's not hurt, is he?
567
00:25:02,627 --> 00:25:04,785
You guys broke up, but you
still wanna protect him?
568
00:25:04,861 --> 00:25:07,037
I didn't say
we broke up.
569
00:25:07,114 --> 00:25:08,747
He left.
He said he had a job.
570
00:25:08,824 --> 00:25:10,832
Did he mention where?
571
00:25:10,909 --> 00:25:13,802
He's an actor, you know?
He said he had an acting gig.
572
00:25:17,457 --> 00:25:19,767
That was four days ago.
He hasn't been home since.
573
00:25:21,128 --> 00:25:23,395
You don't think
he's on a film shoot?
574
00:25:25,757 --> 00:25:28,183
I'm not stupid.
575
00:25:31,447 --> 00:25:34,940
The gun I wasn't
supposed to know about?
576
00:25:35,017 --> 00:25:37,326
He took that with him.
577
00:25:40,022 --> 00:25:42,406
Well, looks like Reggie's
a small time felon
578
00:25:42,482 --> 00:25:43,991
who brought his own gun
to the set
579
00:25:44,067 --> 00:25:45,918
and hacked off
Holden's ear.
580
00:25:48,923 --> 00:25:51,507
New theory--
hoax gone bad.
581
00:25:52,743 --> 00:25:54,802
This kid Holden's
lost control of the set.
582
00:25:57,673 --> 00:25:58,889
[grunts]
583
00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:02,342
Okay. Okay.
584
00:26:02,419 --> 00:26:04,011
Things have gotten
out of hand.
585
00:26:04,087 --> 00:26:06,430
It's like
so out of control.
586
00:26:06,506 --> 00:26:08,473
This isn't my story
anymore.
587
00:26:08,550 --> 00:26:10,976
I'm afraid these guys
really want to kill us.
588
00:26:11,053 --> 00:26:12,978
Willow and I,
we need help.
589
00:26:13,055 --> 00:26:15,606
We're in the basement
of 735 West 130th Street.
590
00:26:15,682 --> 00:26:16,898
What the hell
are you doing?
591
00:26:16,975 --> 00:26:18,817
We need the police
to come get us!
592
00:26:18,894 --> 00:26:20,995
Come quick
before someone gets hurt!
593
00:26:21,998 --> 00:26:23,914
You kicking me?
You kick--
594
00:26:29,413 --> 00:26:31,005
[screams]
595
00:26:32,741 --> 00:26:34,842
Get us out of here!
596
00:26:36,536 --> 00:26:39,588
Come on, man.
We can work this out.
597
00:26:39,665 --> 00:26:41,682
[screams]
598
00:26:43,919 --> 00:26:44,852
[mutters]
599
00:26:46,755 --> 00:26:47,771
Holden?
600
00:26:47,848 --> 00:26:49,973
[whimpers]
601
00:26:50,050 --> 00:26:53,560
Willow. Willow?
602
00:26:53,637 --> 00:26:55,529
(Willow)
Holden.
603
00:27:09,236 --> 00:27:10,744
[thunk]
Ouch!
604
00:27:10,755 --> 00:27:11,787
Ow, what the--
605
00:27:11,863 --> 00:27:13,130
Okay,
so that's real.
606
00:27:15,075 --> 00:27:16,967
And, uh, that's real.
607
00:27:19,079 --> 00:27:21,472
Why don't you tell us
what's not?
608
00:27:21,548 --> 00:27:23,015
I told you,
everything else.
609
00:27:24,918 --> 00:27:26,385
Willow and I
were filming a vlog
610
00:27:26,461 --> 00:27:29,730
when these two psychos
burst into our apartment.
611
00:27:30,924 --> 00:27:32,849
Is this the other guy?
612
00:27:32,926 --> 00:27:34,851
Yeah, that's him.
Nice work.
613
00:27:34,928 --> 00:27:38,313
Awkward, though, because
we found Reggie's head shot
614
00:27:38,390 --> 00:27:39,940
on your VPO.
615
00:27:40,016 --> 00:27:41,492
Okay, I left that out.
616
00:27:41,568 --> 00:27:45,028
I thought it would confuse your
understanding of the storyline.
617
00:27:45,105 --> 00:27:46,863
Yeah, anyway,
none of that matters.
618
00:27:46,940 --> 00:27:50,283
You wanna tell that
to the guy you shot dead?
619
00:27:50,294 --> 00:27:52,169
I didn't shoot him.
620
00:27:55,091 --> 00:27:57,165
We saw the video.
621
00:27:57,242 --> 00:28:00,043
Oh, I mean I shot him,
but that was fake.
622
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:03,171
I had a prop gun.
He was wearing a squib.
623
00:28:03,248 --> 00:28:06,216
It's like
a fake blood bag.
624
00:28:06,293 --> 00:28:11,304
Reggie shot Todd afterwards
for real...
625
00:28:11,381 --> 00:28:12,973
when the webcam was off.
626
00:28:13,049 --> 00:28:14,983
They got in a fight
about the money.
627
00:28:16,136 --> 00:28:17,394
Okay.
628
00:28:17,471 --> 00:28:20,030
Start from the top.
629
00:28:22,976 --> 00:28:25,402
Okay, I hired Reggie.
630
00:28:25,479 --> 00:28:29,156
We were making a serialized vlog
about a kidnapping,
631
00:28:29,232 --> 00:28:32,284
but the guy turned out to be
a real psycho!
632
00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:34,369
I mean,
when he cut my ear off,
633
00:28:34,446 --> 00:28:36,496
afterwards he was just smiling
634
00:28:36,573 --> 00:28:39,040
like he had done
a really good take.
635
00:28:39,117 --> 00:28:40,250
Why didn't you
end the shoot?
636
00:28:40,327 --> 00:28:42,335
I tried.
He was obsessed.
637
00:28:42,412 --> 00:28:45,422
When the camera shut off,
he pulls his own gun out
638
00:28:45,499 --> 00:28:47,141
and says, "Nobody leaves!"
639
00:28:47,217 --> 00:28:50,218
Okay. So now you're saying
that he held you hostage.
640
00:28:50,295 --> 00:28:52,554
Did he make any demands?
641
00:28:52,631 --> 00:28:54,181
Pages.
642
00:28:54,257 --> 00:28:57,350
More lines, more action.
643
00:28:57,427 --> 00:29:00,854
It was supposed to end
with me tricking the bad guys,
644
00:29:00,931 --> 00:29:02,606
overpowering them,
and rescuing Willow.
645
00:29:02,682 --> 00:29:04,816
He wanted
a different ending.
646
00:29:04,893 --> 00:29:06,610
Something more believable?
647
00:29:06,686 --> 00:29:08,320
Whatever.
648
00:29:08,396 --> 00:29:11,281
That is when I wrote
this last scene
649
00:29:11,358 --> 00:29:13,208
where I've broken free
650
00:29:13,285 --> 00:29:15,619
and I'm asking the viewers
to call the cops.
651
00:29:15,695 --> 00:29:18,288
Todd bursts in,
we struggle,
652
00:29:18,365 --> 00:29:21,124
gun goes off,
Reggie comes in, shoots me,
653
00:29:21,201 --> 00:29:22,834
takes Willow.
654
00:29:22,911 --> 00:29:26,171
Yeah, we saw all that.
655
00:29:26,248 --> 00:29:27,848
I-It came out okay?
656
00:29:30,377 --> 00:29:33,386
We finished the take...
657
00:29:33,463 --> 00:29:35,263
Reggie realized
I gave the actual address
658
00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:36,899
of where we're being held.
659
00:29:36,975 --> 00:29:38,266
He goes ballistic,
660
00:29:38,343 --> 00:29:40,393
'cause now he's not only
obsessed with the part,
661
00:29:40,470 --> 00:29:42,312
now he wants all the money.
662
00:29:42,389 --> 00:29:45,315
Todd and he go at it,
he shoots him...
663
00:29:45,392 --> 00:29:47,201
point blank in the gut.
664
00:29:49,104 --> 00:29:51,404
He grabs Willow and bolts.
665
00:29:51,481 --> 00:29:53,573
Why didn't he
shoot you?
666
00:29:53,650 --> 00:29:55,459
I don't know.
667
00:29:56,703 --> 00:29:59,162
Oh, my God. Willow!
668
00:29:59,239 --> 00:30:02,666
Oh, you've gotta find 'em.
Reggie's obsessed with her.
669
00:30:02,742 --> 00:30:04,417
We're having a hard time
judging what's real here.
670
00:30:04,494 --> 00:30:07,221
Okay, here's what's real.
This guy is insane.
671
00:30:07,297 --> 00:30:09,297
He's insane.
672
00:30:09,374 --> 00:30:11,099
He's insane.
673
00:30:14,087 --> 00:30:16,563
[sobbing]
674
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,979
Please. Please,
he's gonna shoot me.
675
00:30:24,055 --> 00:30:25,981
He shot everybody else.
676
00:30:26,057 --> 00:30:27,616
Please help me.
677
00:30:29,027 --> 00:30:30,452
(Ross)
It's streaming, live.
678
00:30:30,529 --> 00:30:32,153
Where are they now?
679
00:30:32,230 --> 00:30:34,364
We don't know.
680
00:30:34,441 --> 00:30:35,465
What is that wall
behind her?
681
00:30:35,542 --> 00:30:37,325
(Logan)
White, looks metallic.
682
00:30:37,402 --> 00:30:39,953
Could be the inside
of a van.
683
00:30:40,030 --> 00:30:42,455
It may be Reggie
doesn't know how to encrypt.
684
00:30:42,532 --> 00:30:44,374
He's uploading by Wi-Fi.
685
00:30:44,451 --> 00:30:46,009
Inside the van?
686
00:30:46,086 --> 00:30:48,670
When you drive around New York,
you can cadge a signal.
687
00:30:48,681 --> 00:30:51,923
Uh, got it.
Union Square, public server.
688
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:52,966
They're still logged in.
689
00:30:52,977 --> 00:30:53,967
Go.
690
00:30:53,978 --> 00:30:55,561
(Logan)
Union Square!
691
00:31:36,645 --> 00:31:38,437
Does that guy
look right to you?
692
00:31:49,232 --> 00:31:51,691
Sir, stop right there.
693
00:31:51,768 --> 00:31:54,494
I'm gonna ask you
to take that hat off.
694
00:31:57,190 --> 00:31:59,449
Take off your hat!
695
00:31:59,526 --> 00:32:01,159
Show's over, Reggie.
696
00:32:01,236 --> 00:32:04,004
All right,
now kiss that van!
697
00:32:04,081 --> 00:32:05,631
Go on, get over there.
698
00:32:10,545 --> 00:32:13,347
Oh, thank God!
It's the police!
699
00:32:15,709 --> 00:32:18,143
Gimme that camera.
700
00:32:20,547 --> 00:32:23,556
Hey, man,
I'm just an actor.
701
00:32:23,567 --> 00:32:24,833
With a real gun
702
00:32:24,910 --> 00:32:27,152
and a kidnapped girl
in the back of your van.
703
00:32:27,229 --> 00:32:29,604
Did Willow say
I kidnapped her?
704
00:32:29,681 --> 00:32:31,481
We have you on tape,
James Dean,
705
00:32:31,558 --> 00:32:33,274
with a gun to her head.
706
00:32:33,351 --> 00:32:35,369
I have it in my script.
707
00:32:35,445 --> 00:32:37,654
Here.
708
00:32:37,731 --> 00:32:40,073
Here's my sides.
709
00:32:40,150 --> 00:32:42,158
We shot the double
murder scene.
710
00:32:42,235 --> 00:32:43,785
I grab Willow,
get in the van.
711
00:32:43,796 --> 00:32:45,495
It's all there.
712
00:32:45,572 --> 00:32:46,988
[paper crinkles]
713
00:32:46,990 --> 00:32:49,332
Holden told us
you forced him to write this.
714
00:32:49,409 --> 00:32:51,009
Well, yeah, in a way.
715
00:32:52,579 --> 00:32:54,462
He was kind of
afraid of me.
716
00:32:54,539 --> 00:32:56,306
Of you? Really.
717
00:32:58,460 --> 00:33:00,176
How 'bout Willow?
Was Willow afraid of you?
718
00:33:00,253 --> 00:33:01,720
Me?
719
00:33:01,796 --> 00:33:04,597
No.
720
00:33:04,674 --> 00:33:06,608
Willow just wanted
a bigger part.
721
00:33:06,685 --> 00:33:09,352
She said if she asked,
Holden would blow her off.
722
00:33:09,363 --> 00:33:12,647
The entire shoot,
she had good ideas.
723
00:33:12,724 --> 00:33:15,483
Really good at improvs.
724
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:16,827
Holden never listened to her.
725
00:33:16,903 --> 00:33:19,487
This whole van scene,
runway thing, that was hers.
726
00:33:19,564 --> 00:33:23,542
She wanted an emotional scene,
just her in the van.
727
00:33:25,379 --> 00:33:27,838
I, um...
728
00:33:27,914 --> 00:33:29,622
talked Holden into it.
729
00:33:29,699 --> 00:33:32,259
You talked him into it?
730
00:33:38,892 --> 00:33:41,393
Let's go back
to your gun.
731
00:33:43,147 --> 00:33:44,629
Get me a lawyer.
732
00:33:46,591 --> 00:33:49,559
I was blindfolded
when they did the shootout.
733
00:33:49,636 --> 00:33:52,487
Reggie said the shootout
was your idea.
734
00:33:52,564 --> 00:33:54,489
Well, I mean,
that's sweet,
735
00:33:54,566 --> 00:33:56,608
but it was
a collaboration.
736
00:33:56,684 --> 00:33:59,611
Sweet? Didn't he
chop off Holden's ear?
737
00:33:59,687 --> 00:34:02,530
God, that was scary.
738
00:34:02,607 --> 00:34:06,168
Reggie just
completely went insane.
739
00:34:06,244 --> 00:34:09,370
And Holden at first
was ready to end it,
740
00:34:09,447 --> 00:34:12,332
but then he was like, "No,
we really have something here.
741
00:34:12,408 --> 00:34:13,541
Let's keep going."
742
00:34:13,618 --> 00:34:16,920
[Wheeler sighs]
Okay,
743
00:34:16,930 --> 00:34:19,556
we need to know what happened
after the shootout.
744
00:34:23,670 --> 00:34:27,105
Reggie and I
left to do the van scene.
745
00:34:28,508 --> 00:34:31,109
And everyone was okay?
746
00:34:31,186 --> 00:34:32,894
I was blindfolded
when they took me out.
747
00:34:32,905 --> 00:34:35,605
And then I went into the van
and touched up my makeup,
748
00:34:35,682 --> 00:34:37,565
and then Reggie came out
and we drove off.
749
00:34:37,642 --> 00:34:41,486
I-I'm really sorry you guys
were dragged into this.
750
00:34:41,497 --> 00:34:44,697
None of us had any idea it would
ever catch on the way it did.
751
00:34:44,774 --> 00:34:47,158
I just--
752
00:34:47,235 --> 00:34:50,453
I can't wait for Holden
to finish it, you know?
753
00:34:50,530 --> 00:34:52,756
I think he's gonna
deliver something amazing.
754
00:34:55,535 --> 00:34:57,460
Willow, this isn't
community theater.
755
00:34:57,537 --> 00:34:58,804
You're involved in a crime.
756
00:35:01,457 --> 00:35:03,466
It was--
it was a performance.
757
00:35:03,543 --> 00:35:05,301
It's not like
anybody got hurt.
758
00:35:05,378 --> 00:35:06,803
[exhales]
759
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,305
Yeah, who cares about
the character actor, right?
760
00:35:09,382 --> 00:35:11,149
Todd?
761
00:35:14,345 --> 00:35:16,813
What--Why, what happened?
762
00:35:16,890 --> 00:35:21,442
I mean, did he get
a stomachache from the squib?
763
00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:23,361
It's Cyber-Rashomon.
764
00:35:23,438 --> 00:35:27,582
Reggie says Holden shot Todd,
Holden says Reggie did it,
765
00:35:27,659 --> 00:35:29,701
and Willow doesn't even
believe anyone's dead.
766
00:35:29,777 --> 00:35:31,828
Or she's pretending
not to.
767
00:35:31,905 --> 00:35:34,831
I think the guy with the gun
became sexier
768
00:35:34,908 --> 00:35:36,967
than the guy
getting beat up.
769
00:35:37,043 --> 00:35:39,511
They partnered up
to get the money.
770
00:35:42,749 --> 00:35:44,674
Ballistics--
771
00:35:44,751 --> 00:35:48,678
the gun we saw Holden
shoot Todd with
772
00:35:48,755 --> 00:35:51,639
is a prop gun
with blanks.
773
00:35:51,716 --> 00:35:53,683
They're checking
Reggie's gun now.
774
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,520
That means Todd was killed
when the camera was off.
775
00:35:57,597 --> 00:35:59,573
She's protecting someone.
776
00:36:01,559 --> 00:36:05,028
She wants us to believe she
only knows what's in the script.
777
00:36:05,104 --> 00:36:08,665
I'd like to see just how good
an actress she really is.
778
00:36:14,739 --> 00:36:15,714
[gasps]
779
00:36:17,593 --> 00:36:19,709
I-Is he really dead?
780
00:36:19,786 --> 00:36:21,669
You wanna be sure?
[turns on drill]
781
00:36:21,746 --> 00:36:24,681
No, no, no!
No, I--
782
00:36:25,750 --> 00:36:27,851
I don't understand.
783
00:36:28,962 --> 00:36:31,888
It was staged,
just like everything else.
784
00:36:31,965 --> 00:36:35,266
Did you see Reggie
shoot Todd?
785
00:36:35,343 --> 00:36:39,437
No. I was in the van
putting on my makeup.
786
00:36:39,514 --> 00:36:43,867
Maybe Reggie told you
that he shot Todd.
787
00:36:44,852 --> 00:36:46,319
I--
788
00:36:46,396 --> 00:36:48,613
All I know is that--
789
00:36:48,690 --> 00:36:51,074
we weren't getting paid
much, and, um,
790
00:36:51,150 --> 00:36:54,327
the guys decided to ask Holden
for a share of the profits,
791
00:36:54,338 --> 00:36:55,828
and Holden said no.
792
00:36:55,905 --> 00:36:58,748
And then Reggie came up with
some sort of scheme
793
00:36:58,825 --> 00:37:01,843
to freak him out into
giving up the account numbers.
794
00:37:06,499 --> 00:37:08,466
I guess something
went wrong.
795
00:37:08,543 --> 00:37:11,803
But Reggie left out
part of the story.
796
00:37:11,879 --> 00:37:14,356
What?
797
00:37:20,730 --> 00:37:22,897
[gasps]
No!
798
00:37:22,974 --> 00:37:25,358
No! That--
that's impossible!
799
00:37:25,435 --> 00:37:26,943
How?
800
00:37:27,020 --> 00:37:28,945
After he got the account
numbers, Reggie shot Holden.
801
00:37:29,022 --> 00:37:30,372
No--
He didn't tell you
802
00:37:30,448 --> 00:37:32,874
because he knew
you wouldn't leave with him.
803
00:37:32,951 --> 00:37:34,325
No one was supposed to die.
804
00:37:34,402 --> 00:37:36,744
I just--this was--
this was my big thing.
805
00:37:36,755 --> 00:37:38,713
I was supposed to be
a star,
806
00:37:38,790 --> 00:37:40,873
just for people
to know my name.
807
00:37:40,884 --> 00:37:43,668
He can't die--he's not dead!
It's not true!
808
00:37:43,679 --> 00:37:45,461
Baby! Baby!
809
00:37:45,538 --> 00:37:47,463
Oh, please,
you don't understand!
810
00:37:47,540 --> 00:37:49,882
Baby, please wake up!
(Wheeler)
Shh.
811
00:37:49,959 --> 00:37:50,967
No!
812
00:37:51,044 --> 00:37:53,469
Oh, my God!
[sobbing]
813
00:37:53,546 --> 00:37:55,313
She still loves me.
814
00:37:58,768 --> 00:38:00,819
Logan.
815
00:38:02,489 --> 00:38:03,655
Stay here.
816
00:38:11,105 --> 00:38:12,697
Rodgers?
817
00:38:14,484 --> 00:38:18,494
Todd's death may not be
what it seemed to be.
818
00:38:18,571 --> 00:38:20,538
He's dead, right?
819
00:38:20,615 --> 00:38:23,842
Yeah, he is.
But this is what killed him.
820
00:38:27,497 --> 00:38:29,088
That's not a slug.
821
00:38:29,165 --> 00:38:31,924
It's just the wadding.
822
00:38:32,001 --> 00:38:34,677
There was no bullet.
823
00:38:34,754 --> 00:38:37,255
He was killed by a blank.
824
00:38:40,635 --> 00:38:42,935
Look, I only pretended
to shoot Todd.
825
00:38:42,946 --> 00:38:45,688
He was in on it.
I squibbed him.
826
00:38:45,765 --> 00:38:47,190
We planned the whole thing
out together.
827
00:38:47,266 --> 00:38:49,984
And Willow,
was she in on it?
No.
828
00:38:50,061 --> 00:38:51,294
No.
829
00:38:51,370 --> 00:38:52,904
(Wheeler)
Who loaded the blanks?
830
00:38:52,980 --> 00:38:56,407
I did. Holden was too cheap
to hire a real prop guy.
831
00:38:56,484 --> 00:38:57,959
And why did you do this?
832
00:39:00,113 --> 00:39:03,715
(Wheeler)
To scare Holden into
giving up his account numbers.
833
00:39:05,785 --> 00:39:07,151
He was stiffing
me and Todd.
834
00:39:07,228 --> 00:39:08,669
The guy was getting like
half a million,
835
00:39:08,746 --> 00:39:10,046
and we had no cut?
836
00:39:10,123 --> 00:39:11,355
Try a million.
837
00:39:11,432 --> 00:39:13,925
(Wheeler)
And he gets the last laugh.
838
00:39:14,001 --> 00:39:16,761
He's cooperating with the D.A.
He's never made any threats.
839
00:39:16,838 --> 00:39:18,103
They don't even have
an extortion case.
840
00:39:18,105 --> 00:39:20,431
This whole thing,
it wasn't even my idea!
841
00:39:20,508 --> 00:39:22,892
It was Holden's!
Oh, but I'm the ex-con.
842
00:39:22,969 --> 00:39:24,819
The D.A. figures
let me take the fall.
843
00:39:24,896 --> 00:39:25,895
That seem fair to you?
844
00:39:25,972 --> 00:39:27,855
Well, actually, I'd say
845
00:39:27,932 --> 00:39:30,858
Todd's the one
who has the bad deal here.
846
00:39:30,935 --> 00:39:34,070
The wadding from the blank
hit an artery.
847
00:39:34,147 --> 00:39:35,080
He bled out.
848
00:39:36,983 --> 00:39:38,958
What do you mean?
849
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,880
What?
850
00:39:45,241 --> 00:39:47,959
I actually killed
somebody?
851
00:39:48,035 --> 00:39:49,585
Yeah.
852
00:39:49,662 --> 00:39:51,638
You actually did.
853
00:39:58,963 --> 00:40:01,055
Oh, my God.
854
00:40:01,132 --> 00:40:02,774
Oh.
855
00:40:05,970 --> 00:40:07,070
Does Willow know?
856
00:40:13,945 --> 00:40:15,903
Willow, you're not
gonna believe this, okay?
857
00:40:15,980 --> 00:40:17,947
Our lawyers lied.
858
00:40:18,024 --> 00:40:20,792
The police must have
seized the account.
859
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,203
What are you talking about?
860
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,038
The Digipay account,
Willow.
861
00:40:26,115 --> 00:40:27,957
It's empty.
862
00:40:28,034 --> 00:40:31,627
I-It's a million dollars,
gone.
863
00:40:31,704 --> 00:40:34,046
It was never about
the money, Holden.
864
00:40:34,123 --> 00:40:35,974
Y-Yes, it was.
865
00:40:46,052 --> 00:40:48,027
Where are you--
where are you going?
866
00:40:50,348 --> 00:40:53,566
I have somewhere
I need to be.
867
00:40:53,643 --> 00:40:57,028
No, but--
868
00:40:57,104 --> 00:40:58,955
but I heard you crying.
869
00:41:04,153 --> 00:41:06,838
Y-You love me.
870
00:41:07,990 --> 00:41:10,750
I do.
871
00:41:10,826 --> 00:41:12,844
And I always will.
872
00:41:28,094 --> 00:41:29,894
We're back live with
the Internet phenomenon
873
00:41:29,905 --> 00:41:32,563
known as Weeping Willow 17,
874
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,190
Lisa Willow Tyler.
875
00:41:34,267 --> 00:41:36,108
Lisa, are you over the trauma
876
00:41:36,185 --> 00:41:39,028
of the death of your
fellow cast member?
877
00:41:39,105 --> 00:41:40,696
Well, you know, Larry,
878
00:41:40,773 --> 00:41:42,907
I actually didn't get to know
Todd that well,
879
00:41:42,984 --> 00:41:44,867
but he was a really,
really sweet guy,
880
00:41:44,944 --> 00:41:46,586
and it's just tragic,
881
00:41:46,663 --> 00:41:49,330
because he had such a great
career ahead of him.
882
00:41:49,407 --> 00:41:52,792
But right now I'm
just trying to move on.
883
00:41:52,868 --> 00:41:54,218
What's next for you?
884
00:41:54,295 --> 00:41:57,129
Well, I can't even tell you
how excited I am
885
00:41:57,140 --> 00:41:59,307
to say that I finally
secured financing
886
00:41:59,384 --> 00:42:01,801
for a full-length
Weeping Willow feature
887
00:42:01,877 --> 00:42:03,803
and that we are going to
being production
888
00:42:03,879 --> 00:42:06,222
at the end of the summer
in Toronto.
889
00:42:06,299 --> 00:42:07,524
Tell me about it.
890
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,809
Well, I basically play
a girl from a small town
891
00:42:09,885 --> 00:42:11,653
who is kidnapped
892
00:42:11,729 --> 00:42:15,615
and she has to do whatever
it takes in order to escape.
893
00:42:21,689 --> 00:42:23,906
Boy, she had me fooled.
894
00:42:23,983 --> 00:42:26,826
She had us all fooled.
895
00:42:26,902 --> 00:42:29,036
Don't worry about it.
896
00:42:29,113 --> 00:42:30,830
Let's get something
to eat.
897
00:42:30,906 --> 00:42:32,924
I'm buyin'.
