1
00:00:01,225 --> 00:00:02,893
My name's Don Konkey.
2
00:00:02,893 --> 00:00:04,695
I take pictures.
3
00:00:06,163 --> 00:00:09,032
I'm a functional schizophrenic.
4
00:00:09,032 --> 00:00:12,236
- Good work, Don.
- I work for my best friend,
Lucy Spiller.
5
00:00:12,236 --> 00:00:15,005
Tyreese is leaving training
right now.
6
00:00:15,005 --> 00:00:19,343
She had me take some pictures
of the basketball star,
Prince Tyreese.
7
00:00:19,343 --> 00:00:22,279
He found out and got mad.
8
00:00:22,279 --> 00:00:25,449
- Who you working for?
- Nobody! Just me!
9
00:00:25,449 --> 00:00:28,919
This is Holt McLaren.
He's a good actor.
10
00:00:28,919 --> 00:00:30,120
You're creepy, man.
11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,055
He doesn't like me.
12
00:00:32,055 --> 00:00:34,091
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
13
00:00:34,091 --> 00:00:36,260
I'd love to do a feature on you.
14
00:00:36,260 --> 00:00:41,565
But he gave Lucy dirt
on how Kira Klay was
gonna have a baby.
15
00:00:41,565 --> 00:00:43,700
She OD'd
16
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:45,702
Then she died.
17
00:00:45,702 --> 00:00:47,437
Morning, sweetheart.
18
00:00:47,437 --> 00:00:49,406
Now she lives with me.
19
00:00:49,406 --> 00:00:51,542
You saved my life
and nursed me back to health.
20
00:00:51,542 --> 00:00:55,412
Holt's girlfriend, Julia
Mallory, got hurt real bad
21
00:00:55,412 --> 00:00:58,182
when Holt got mad
and crashed his car.
22
00:00:58,182 --> 00:01:00,250
She got injured.
23
00:01:00,250 --> 00:01:02,886
Holt got a David Fincher movie.
24
00:01:02,886 --> 00:01:05,656
- That's awesome.
- You're gonna make them
for less money.
25
00:01:05,656 --> 00:01:07,324
Knock off 20%.
26
00:01:07,324 --> 00:01:09,293
Lucy's magazines
were in trouble,
27
00:01:09,293 --> 00:01:12,196
so she convinced Gibson Horne
to merge them into one.
28
00:01:12,196 --> 00:01:15,499
The credibility of Now
with all the lurid fun of Dirt .
29
00:01:15,499 --> 00:01:17,801
And God help you
if you're wrong.
30
00:01:21,171 --> 00:01:25,642
It's called "ovophagy,"
sharks battling in the womb,
31
00:01:25,642 --> 00:01:29,813
devouring their brothers
and sisters until only the
fittest survive.
32
00:01:29,813 --> 00:01:32,482
Which is why we're all here
today. Lucky us.
33
00:01:32,482 --> 00:01:35,485
Now magazine
is venerable, respected,
34
00:01:35,485 --> 00:01:37,521
and hemorrhaging cash.
35
00:01:37,521 --> 00:01:41,124
Dirt has solid sales, but its
readers will always be low-rent.
36
00:01:41,124 --> 00:01:42,626
So the ad revenue isn't there.
37
00:01:42,626 --> 00:01:44,962
These two magazines
cannot survive.
38
00:01:44,962 --> 00:01:47,264
So I thought about the sharks,
39
00:01:47,264 --> 00:01:51,034
turning a liability
into a source of nutrition.
40
00:01:51,034 --> 00:01:56,907
As of today, Dirt and Now are
merging into one new single
publication.
41
00:01:58,442 --> 00:02:00,444
A tabloid with class.
42
00:02:00,444 --> 00:02:04,681
All the fun of Dirt
with the prestige of Now.
43
00:02:04,681 --> 00:02:08,819
Now has been a pillar
of the American journalistic
landscape
44
00:02:08,819 --> 00:02:10,554
for over 70 years.
45
00:02:10,554 --> 00:02:15,792
We survived McCarthyism.
We can certainly survive
a dip in sales.
46
00:02:15,792 --> 00:02:18,829
First of all, Reginald, I know
how you hate a mixed metaphor.
47
00:02:18,829 --> 00:02:22,733
So I'm going to have to call you
on the whole "pillar of the
landscape" thing.
48
00:02:22,733 --> 00:02:24,568
Pillars don't hold
up landscapes.
49
00:02:24,568 --> 00:02:27,371
Secondly, thank you
for your look backwards.
50
00:02:27,371 --> 00:02:29,840
That will be the last look
in that direction
51
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,277
- that anyone in
these offices takes.
- With due respect,
52
00:02:33,277 --> 00:02:35,512
I'm not going to be
part of the dismantling
53
00:02:35,512 --> 00:02:37,648
of an American
journalistic icon.
54
00:02:37,648 --> 00:02:41,218
Of course you're not.
Because, with due respect,
you're fired.
55
00:02:41,218 --> 00:02:43,921
- Now get out.
- [people murmuring]
56
00:02:43,921 --> 00:02:47,991
And anyone who wants to keep
doing the same old tired crap,
feel free to leave.
57
00:02:47,991 --> 00:02:50,360
Those of you who want
to do something new,
58
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,030
do real reporting,
break stories, stay.
59
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:56,199
I believe in the truth
above all else.
60
00:02:56,199 --> 00:02:57,467
And this...
61
00:02:57,467 --> 00:02:59,369
...is truth.
62
00:02:59,369 --> 00:03:01,238
We have to be sharks.
63
00:03:01,238 --> 00:03:04,241
If we succeed, there's room
for about half of you to stay.
64
00:03:04,241 --> 00:03:07,244
If we fail, we're all finished,
including me.
65
00:03:08,845 --> 00:03:11,748
We have one week to prove
our right to survive.
66
00:03:11,748 --> 00:03:14,117

Profile on Aundre G.
73
00:03:38,208 --> 00:03:40,978
Yeah, let's launch a new
magazine with a black R&B star.
74
00:03:40,978 --> 00:03:42,813
That'll really move at K-Mart.
75
00:03:42,813 --> 00:03:45,549
The guy vanishes
without a trace.
76
00:03:45,549 --> 00:03:48,151
Four months later,
his CD's are topping the charts.
77
00:03:48,151 --> 00:03:51,254
- He's a phenomenon.
- So he's in rehab, big deal.
78
00:03:51,254 --> 00:03:54,257
Maybe he pulled a Chapelle.
Anybody check South Africa?
79
00:03:54,257 --> 00:03:57,894
Maybe he figured out
"mysterious disappearance"
sells a lot of records.
80
00:03:57,894 --> 00:03:59,629
Either way,
it's a great mystery.
81
00:03:59,629 --> 00:04:01,832
Everyone's gonna cover
the mystery angle.
82
00:04:01,832 --> 00:04:03,900
This new magazine
has to break stories.
83
00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:05,802
Solve it, that's a cover.
84
00:04:05,802 --> 00:04:07,771
- Next.
- Right here.
85
00:04:07,771 --> 00:04:11,041
What about a cover on Hollywood
meds, who's taking what?
86
00:04:11,041 --> 00:04:13,643
It's a great chip, not a cover.
Work it out. Next!
87
00:04:13,643 --> 00:04:16,580
- Here.
- Um, I... I... have something.
88
00:04:16,580 --> 00:04:19,750
- Oh! Sorry.
- [laughter]
89
00:04:19,750 --> 00:04:21,685
McPherson, wow me.
90
00:04:21,685 --> 00:04:24,621
I'm not really sure
it's anything, really,
91
00:04:24,621 --> 00:04:26,923
but you know Connie Chris,
92
00:04:26,923 --> 00:04:29,993
the former Mouseketeer
turned Christian rocker?
93
00:04:29,993 --> 00:04:34,331
She has a new album, so I went
to pull some event shots
94
00:04:34,331 --> 00:04:37,100
and there's nothing new
for the last three days.
95
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:39,636
And she's suddenly
got no PR ties.
96
00:04:39,636 --> 00:04:43,507
She's launching a new album,
and she hasn't been seen
since Friday.
97
00:04:43,507 --> 00:04:46,710
- She's been called
to The Rapture!
- And we're still here?
98
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:49,846
Maybe she's shacking up
with Aundre G in South Africa.
99
00:04:49,846 --> 00:04:51,848
At least working
with his publicist.
100
00:04:51,848 --> 00:04:53,450
Did you check with
her publicist?
101
00:04:53,450 --> 00:04:55,685
Her assistant says
Connie's got a flu,
102
00:04:55,685 --> 00:04:57,854
they're rescheduling things,
no big deal.
103
00:04:57,854 --> 00:04:59,689
Let's see what we can find.
104
00:04:59,689 --> 00:05:02,859
We are not running rumors
or chasing other magazines.
105
00:05:02,859 --> 00:05:07,597
We live or die by breaking
stories. We have one week
for this cover.
106
00:05:07,597 --> 00:05:09,433
Let's get to work.
107
00:05:10,434 --> 00:05:12,569
You sure you're ready?
108
00:05:12,569 --> 00:05:14,304
Listen, if it's too soon...
109
00:05:14,304 --> 00:05:18,075
I've missed two episodes.
If I don't go back, they'll
recast me.
110
00:05:18,075 --> 00:05:21,378
Come on, you're Julia Mallory.
They can't recast you.
111
00:05:22,345 --> 00:05:24,414
Listen, if you need more time...
112
00:05:24,414 --> 00:05:26,650
Goddamn back feels like
there's a knife in it.
113
00:05:27,884 --> 00:05:28,919

00:05:37,027 --> 00:05:38,428
All right.
115
00:05:41,064 --> 00:05:42,899
Oh, Jesus, my agent.
116
00:05:42,899 --> 00:05:46,169
I can't deal with Quinn
saying how beautiful I look.
117
00:05:46,169 --> 00:05:48,972
- I'll keep them away.
- Please?
118
00:05:48,972 --> 00:05:54,010
Hey, listen,
you're going to do great, OK?
119
00:05:54,010 --> 00:05:57,414
- This is your show.
They love you.
- "They" who?
120
00:05:57,414 --> 00:06:01,351
Asshole writers didn't even
write in a reason my character
was away.
121
00:06:02,853 --> 00:06:05,789
America loves you.
122
00:06:05,789 --> 00:06:07,057
Come on.
123
00:06:07,057 --> 00:06:09,192
It's gonna be fine.
124
00:06:09,192 --> 00:06:11,595
All right?
125
00:06:11,595 --> 00:06:13,897

I told you she'd be ready.

It's your show.

- They should go at your pace.
- I'm fine.
131
00:06:27,911 --> 00:06:31,047
I know. They should
just go at your pace.
132
00:06:31,047 --> 00:06:33,650
She should have some quiet time
before taping.
133
00:06:33,650 --> 00:06:36,987
All right, well, we're here
all day. Whatever you need.
134
00:06:36,987 --> 00:06:40,056
- Thank you.
- Oh, hey, Holt,
135
00:06:40,056 --> 00:06:43,160
you know, Teddy Jick is
shooting My War on the lot.
136
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,694
Oh, with Jack Dawson, right?
137
00:06:44,694 --> 00:06:47,531
Yeah. We're having lunch
with Teddy on the set.
138
00:06:47,531 --> 00:06:52,235
He's got this new action
franchise, three big summer
movies in a row.
139
00:06:52,235 --> 00:06:55,405
He's talking to Dawson,
but you should meet him.
140
00:06:55,405 --> 00:06:57,807
Why don't you come
to lunch with us?
141
00:06:57,807 --> 00:07:01,478
- I'm going to hang with Julia.
- Unless she needs her quiet.
142
00:07:01,478 --> 00:07:04,281
You'd like Teddy,
I'm telling you, he's a hoot.
143
00:07:04,281 --> 00:07:06,349
And he's always
got something hot.
144
00:07:06,349 --> 00:07:09,452
A smart action picture
would be a great move for you.
145
00:07:09,452 --> 00:07:12,088
- You should go.
- Are you sure?
146
00:07:12,088 --> 00:07:14,591
Yeah, it could be good for you.
147
00:07:14,591 --> 00:07:17,794
And he's right,
I could use some quiet time.
148
00:07:17,794 --> 00:07:21,364
- Just be back
for my taping, OK?
- I promise.
149
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,903

to merge the magazines?

The ad pages weren't there.
151
00:07:28,605 --> 00:07:31,041

are going to line up

00:07:31,041 --> 00:07:33,476

153
00:07:33,476 --> 00:07:35,712

this new magazine.

advertisers,

00:07:37,714 --> 00:07:39,916
I will pick up the phone
and let him know.
156
00:07:39,916 --> 00:07:41,051
I'll get the ads.

00:07:41,051 --> 00:07:44,120
I'll even up the draw.

170
00:08:30,533 --> 00:08:33,103
She's gonna be
just fine, mister.
171
00:08:37,073 --> 00:08:38,875
Stay with me.
172
00:08:43,813 --> 00:08:47,784
Stay with me.
173
00:09:04,567 --> 00:09:08,705
So Marlon looks Ali McGraw
in the face, and says,
174
00:09:08,705 --> 00:09:11,107
"It was a pleasure meeting you."
175
00:09:11,107 --> 00:09:16,613
Then he looks down at her
breasts, tips his hat and says,
"Ladies."
176
00:09:16,613 --> 00:09:19,149
Evans is standing there,
his mouth wide open.
177
00:09:19,149 --> 00:09:20,383
I almost shit myself.
178
00:09:21,851 --> 00:09:24,554
Well, listen, I should probably
get back to her taping.
179
00:09:24,554 --> 00:09:26,856
Those things always start late.
180
00:09:26,856 --> 00:09:29,726
I hear great things
on the Fincher picture.
181
00:09:29,726 --> 00:09:32,595
You need a big next move.
Something to really...
182
00:09:32,595 --> 00:09:33,963
Hold on a second.
Dawson!
183
00:09:33,963 --> 00:09:37,133
- Hey.
- My man.
184
00:09:37,133 --> 00:09:39,836
- You don't holler back?
What's up with that?
- How are ya?
185
00:09:39,836 --> 00:09:42,872
Have you met the new you?
Holt McLaren, Jack Dawson.
186
00:09:42,872 --> 00:09:45,875
Hey, congratulations
on the movie, man. Good job.
187
00:09:45,875 --> 00:09:47,544
Thank you.
We'll see how it goes.
188
00:09:47,544 --> 00:09:49,813
"See how it goes."
Bullshit. The kid's on fire.
189
00:09:49,813 --> 00:09:51,514
You better watch yourself, Jack.
190
00:09:51,514 --> 00:09:55,118
With the press he's getting,
you get too pushy on this deal,
191
00:09:55,118 --> 00:09:57,187
I might give the part to him.
192
00:09:57,187 --> 00:10:01,191
Yeah, OK, I gotta eat this
and then I gotta get into
touch-ups.
193
00:10:01,191 --> 00:10:03,626
- Good to meet you.
- You too, man.
194
00:10:03,626 --> 00:10:04,627
Good luck.
195
00:10:06,029 --> 00:10:08,498
[man] Everybody, quiet please!
196
00:10:08,498 --> 00:10:09,866
And action!
197
00:10:13,503 --> 00:10:16,406
So, do I look sophisticated?
198
00:10:17,374 --> 00:10:18,775
Cut!
199
00:10:18,775 --> 00:10:21,344
"You look like
Thurston Popeye III."
200
00:10:21,344 --> 00:10:25,715
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, guys.
Sorry. Um, is Holt here yet?
201
00:10:25,715 --> 00:10:29,419
No, Holt is not here.
Can we do this, please?
202
00:10:29,419 --> 00:10:30,487
Yeah. Yeah. Sorry.
203
00:10:30,487 --> 00:10:33,790
OK, we're going again.
204
00:10:33,790 --> 00:10:36,292
And...action!
205
00:10:41,297 --> 00:10:43,600
So, do I look sophisticated?
206
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,869
You look like Thurgood...
207
00:10:45,869 --> 00:10:47,937
Uh... Sorry! I'm so sorry!
208
00:10:47,937 --> 00:10:50,974
- "You look like
Thurston Popeye III."
- "Thurston Popeye III."
209
00:10:50,974 --> 00:10:53,309
Comedy gold.
I got it! I got it.
210
00:10:53,309 --> 00:10:57,514
Reset, going again please,
right away.
211
00:10:57,514 --> 00:10:59,149
Action!
212
00:11:01,317 --> 00:11:04,587
So, do I look sophisticated?
213
00:11:04,587 --> 00:11:08,425
[man in audience] "You look like
Thurston Popeye III," dipshit!
214
00:11:08,425 --> 00:11:12,829
[audience laughing, clapping]
215
00:11:17,667 --> 00:11:19,669
Cut.
216
00:11:24,641 --> 00:11:27,577
She's gay, she's straight,
she's gay, she's straight.
217
00:11:27,577 --> 00:11:29,846
The rumor fluctuates
more than her weight.
218
00:11:29,846 --> 00:11:34,217
Unless you've got a shot
of her coming up for air,
I'm not interested.
219
00:11:34,217 --> 00:11:36,553
My wall is naked!
I don't like it!
220
00:11:36,553 --> 00:11:39,689
Rema Saunders is waiting
for you in the office.
221
00:11:39,689 --> 00:11:41,658
She's representing Connie Chris.
222
00:11:41,658 --> 00:11:42,792
Hold my calls.
223
00:11:45,361 --> 00:11:48,631
- Hi.
- Hi, Lucy, congratulations.
224
00:11:48,631 --> 00:11:50,767
- New magazine, very exciting.
- Yes.
225
00:11:50,767 --> 00:11:54,704
- Thank you. Congratulations
to you on repping Connie Chris.
- Thank you.
226
00:11:54,704 --> 00:11:57,207
You're here to give an exclusive
for our first cover?
227
00:11:57,207 --> 00:11:58,875
I'm here with a press release,
228
00:11:58,875 --> 00:12:01,411
and it says that between
nonstop work on her album
229
00:12:01,411 --> 00:12:04,481
and national church functions,
Connie Chris got exhausted.
230
00:12:04,481 --> 00:12:06,850
And she'll be recovered
and back to work soon.
231
00:12:06,850 --> 00:12:10,019
I wanted to give it to you
personally. It seems your people
232
00:12:10,019 --> 00:12:12,388
- are particularly interested.
- Really?
233
00:12:12,388 --> 00:12:14,924
Yeah, staking out her house,
her mother's house,
234
00:12:14,924 --> 00:12:17,527
- her grandmother's house...
- Her grandmother's?
235
00:12:17,527 --> 00:12:20,096
Hmm, someone's showing
initiative. Good.
236
00:12:20,096 --> 00:12:23,500
I love press releases, they're
so much fun to translate.
237
00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:26,135
Let's see here,
"medical attention,"
238
00:12:26,135 --> 00:12:30,840
I'm guessing is "nose job"
or "abortion," but which?
239
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,243
"Exhaustion," oh, that's tough.
240
00:12:33,243 --> 00:12:36,846
Maybe "rehab"
or "psychotic break"?
241
00:12:36,846 --> 00:12:39,616
Connie Chris is a role model
for young people.
242
00:12:39,616 --> 00:12:42,118
I will not have her reputation
dragged down by...
243
00:12:42,118 --> 00:12:45,622
By what, Rema? You're a
publicist. You don't exist
without us.
244
00:12:46,723 --> 00:12:50,426
Give me my first cover.
I'll pay you back.
245
00:12:50,426 --> 00:12:52,495
Come on. We're friends.
246
00:12:52,495 --> 00:12:54,364
You don't know
what friendship is.
247
00:12:54,364 --> 00:12:58,401
I know you're lying about
Connie Chris. I can smell it.
248
00:12:58,401 --> 00:13:01,137
Give me the truth, and I'll
at least give you the chance
249
00:13:01,137 --> 00:13:02,472
to put your spin on it.
250
00:13:02,472 --> 00:13:04,741
You want the truth?
251
00:13:04,741 --> 00:13:07,944
I know how important
this first issue is for you.
252
00:13:07,944 --> 00:13:10,446
I know you've staked
your entire career on it.
253
00:13:10,446 --> 00:13:13,216
And when it all goes
to shit for you,
254
00:13:13,216 --> 00:13:17,620
I am going to throw
one huge party.
255
00:13:17,620 --> 00:13:19,088
How's that for the truth?
256
00:13:21,257 --> 00:13:24,494
He grew up in Bel Air.
Don't look under Aundre G.
It's Andrew Gerber.
257
00:13:24,494 --> 00:13:26,930
Call them back.
How are your medical contacts?
258
00:13:26,930 --> 00:13:28,464
- Solid.
- Great.
259
00:13:28,464 --> 00:13:31,534
This is Connie Chris's
press release. It says
"medical attention."
260
00:13:31,534 --> 00:13:33,836
Obviously, she's in a hospital.
Find out which one.
261
00:13:33,836 --> 00:13:34,837
I'm on it.
262
00:13:36,239 --> 00:13:39,576
- [knock on door]
- Julia?
263
00:13:39,576 --> 00:13:40,810
Hey.
264
00:13:43,046 --> 00:13:46,516
- I'm so sorry
I missed your taping.
- Lucky you. I sucked.
265
00:13:46,516 --> 00:13:49,185
Come on,
I'm sure you were great.
266
00:13:49,185 --> 00:13:52,021
How would you know?
You weren't there.
267
00:13:52,021 --> 00:13:54,824
You know, maybe... maybe you
need a little more time off.
268
00:13:54,824 --> 00:13:56,893
That's funny,
that's what they said.
269
00:13:56,893 --> 00:13:58,595
They're concerned
about you, babe.
270
00:13:58,595 --> 00:14:02,231
They're concerned about
getting 22 a year so they
make it to syndication.
271
00:14:02,231 --> 00:14:04,267
That's what they're
concerned about.
272
00:14:04,267 --> 00:14:05,335
Shit!
273
00:14:05,335 --> 00:14:06,869
Hey, hey! Babe, hey!
274
00:14:08,304 --> 00:14:09,872
It's going to take time.
275
00:14:09,872 --> 00:14:14,277
- Next week will be better.
- I don't want to talk about it.
276
00:14:14,277 --> 00:14:18,514
- I'll run lines with you...
- I said I don't want
to talk about it.
277
00:15:20,009 --> 00:15:22,679
[Lucy] This is Connie Chris,
Christian pop star.
278
00:15:22,679 --> 00:15:25,214
She dropped off radar last week.
279
00:15:25,214 --> 00:15:29,085
Reliable sources say she's at
St. Alma's private hospital
in Northridge.
280
00:15:29,085 --> 00:15:31,854
They happen to have a big
drug-treatment program there.
281
00:15:31,854 --> 00:15:34,857
I need cover-quality pictures,
plus her chart.
282
00:15:34,857 --> 00:15:36,859
OK.
283
00:15:36,859 --> 00:15:41,030
If this first issue doesn't hit,
it's over... for both of us.
284
00:15:41,030 --> 00:15:43,700
Sorry, your brother called
about dinner again.
285
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:46,069
OK, I'm on my way.
Lenny, this is Don.
286
00:15:46,069 --> 00:15:48,671
- Don, this is my
new assistant, Lenny.
- Kenny.
287
00:15:48,671 --> 00:15:51,541
Whatever. Tell everyone
I'll be back in two hours.
288
00:15:51,541 --> 00:15:55,478
- I want to see cover tries.
- They'll all suck.
Don't let me down.
289
00:15:55,478 --> 00:15:57,814
- I won't.
- I know you won't.
290
00:16:02,051 --> 00:16:04,654
I'm making coq au vin.
We're celebrating.
291
00:16:04,654 --> 00:16:08,658
I'm not celebrating until the
first issue hits one-point-one
at the stands.
292
00:16:08,658 --> 00:16:11,994
Always about you, huh? Maybe
I have something to celebrate.
293
00:16:11,994 --> 00:16:15,331
What, did you finally bang
that Latvian busboy at The Rig?
294
00:16:15,331 --> 00:16:18,034
Done and done.
No, this is major.
295
00:16:18,034 --> 00:16:20,870
What?
What, a new commission?
296
00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:22,939
Don't hold out
on your big sister.
297
00:16:22,939 --> 00:16:25,341
I didn't want to say
because he was living in Ohio
298
00:16:25,341 --> 00:16:28,811
and wasn't sure he was moving
back, but he is and we shook
hands today,
299
00:16:28,811 --> 00:16:34,083
so I am officially Jack Dawson's
new interior decorator.
300
00:16:34,083 --> 00:16:37,687
Oh, my God, Leo!
That's so great! It's fantastic!
301
00:16:37,687 --> 00:16:40,957
He loves classic farmhouse.
I convinced him it's my passion.
302
00:16:40,957 --> 00:16:42,358
[both laugh]
303
00:16:42,358 --> 00:16:44,827
You should talk to him,
let me do a spread.
304
00:16:44,827 --> 00:16:47,930
Inside Jack Dawson's home.
It will be huge for your
business.
305
00:16:47,930 --> 00:16:51,434
I just got hired by Jack Dawson.
My business is huge.
306
00:16:51,434 --> 00:16:53,503
Never underestimate
the value of good press.
307
00:16:53,503 --> 00:16:55,505
Is this for me or you?
308
00:16:55,505 --> 00:16:59,742
Do I have to spell everything
out for you? Jeez! It would be
great PR.
309
00:16:59,742 --> 00:17:03,412
And, yes, it would be
a great get for my magazine,
310
00:17:03,412 --> 00:17:05,948
which I desperately
need right now.
311
00:17:05,948 --> 00:17:07,517
And you wonder why you're alone.
312
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,188
I'm not alone.
I have my magazine.
313
00:17:12,188 --> 00:17:14,657
I have this image of you
in your expensive home
314
00:17:14,657 --> 00:17:17,093
with nothing to hold
but your latest issue.
315
00:17:17,093 --> 00:17:19,128
Is that really enough?
316
00:17:25,468 --> 00:17:29,806
[rap music playing]
317
00:17:33,876 --> 00:17:37,446
Listen, I don't have much time.
Julia thinks I'm out getting
smokes.
318
00:17:37,446 --> 00:17:39,315
You look good, Holt.
319
00:17:40,449 --> 00:17:42,451
Getting cut for a new part?
320
00:17:42,451 --> 00:17:44,787
Just working on my movie.
321
00:17:44,787 --> 00:17:48,658
Don't be modest. I know
you had lunch with Teddy Jick.
322
00:17:48,658 --> 00:17:53,162
And I also know that his big
action franchise is still up
for grabs.
323
00:17:53,162 --> 00:17:56,098
- Want my advice?
- Not really.
324
00:17:58,434 --> 00:18:00,736
Julia's agents
will try to sign you.
325
00:18:00,736 --> 00:18:04,640
You should make them bring you
an offer on the action movie
first.
326
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,443
Tell them you won't sign
on a promise, only a deal.
327
00:18:07,443 --> 00:18:08,744
I'll keep it in mind.
328
00:18:10,813 --> 00:18:13,850
What's eating you? I'm only
looking out for you here.
329
00:18:16,452 --> 00:18:19,388
You're only looking out for me?
330
00:18:19,388 --> 00:18:24,594
Kira Klay is dead because of
what I told you and what you
published.
331
00:18:24,594 --> 00:18:27,330
Julia's back is screwed up
and she's in constant pain.
332
00:18:27,330 --> 00:18:29,866
So don't tell me
you're looking out for me.
333
00:18:29,866 --> 00:18:34,136
Kira Klay was a drug addict
who got pregnant, freaked out,
and OD'd.
334
00:18:34,136 --> 00:18:36,072
Your girlfriend's
in constant pain
335
00:18:36,072 --> 00:18:38,975
because you flipped your car
at 90 miles an hour.
336
00:18:38,975 --> 00:18:41,410
All I've done
is make you look great.
337
00:18:47,416 --> 00:18:49,085
Do you know Connie Chris?
338
00:18:51,020 --> 00:18:54,290
She sings about the Bible,
the Lord, and her virginity.
339
00:18:54,290 --> 00:18:57,226
We don't exactly travel
in the same circle.
340
00:18:57,226 --> 00:18:59,128
You might be surprised.
341
00:18:59,128 --> 00:19:02,598
She's in a private hospital
that specializes in drug rehab.
342
00:19:04,100 --> 00:19:07,904
I need to know young Hollywood's
most discreet celebrity dealer.
343
00:19:07,904 --> 00:19:10,473
And I'd know this because...
344
00:19:10,473 --> 00:19:13,509
Because if you were to piss
into a paper cup right now,
345
00:19:13,509 --> 00:19:15,311
it would probably dissolve.
346
00:19:19,148 --> 00:19:22,418
Connie Chris got her drugs
from someone. I need to know
who it is.
347
00:19:27,623 --> 00:19:32,695
All right, there's one dealer,
sells to all the young actors.
348
00:19:32,695 --> 00:19:34,830
Name?
349
00:19:36,465 --> 00:19:39,368
She calls herself "Garbo."
350
00:19:39,368 --> 00:19:43,873
But you're not going
to get anything from her.
She's totally discreet.
351
00:19:43,873 --> 00:19:47,476
So am I.
Don't you know that by now?
352
00:20:04,660 --> 00:20:06,028
Can I help you?
353
00:20:06,028 --> 00:20:08,564
Delivery, eighth floor.
354
00:20:08,564 --> 00:20:11,033
Deliveries go to the loading
dock out back now.
355
00:20:11,033 --> 00:20:14,770
I always take them to the room,
at least to the nurse's station.
356
00:20:14,770 --> 00:20:17,206
New policy. Loading dock.
357
00:20:17,206 --> 00:20:19,275
Our guys will get them
to the room on time.
358
00:20:19,275 --> 00:20:21,610
My boss, kind of particular...
359
00:20:21,610 --> 00:20:24,213
Well, so is mine.
You are not getting upstairs.
360
00:20:24,213 --> 00:20:27,116
We got a big celebrity,
and you'd be surprised
361
00:20:27,116 --> 00:20:29,385
what the press would do
to sneak in.
362
00:20:29,385 --> 00:20:30,953
That sucks.
363
00:20:30,953 --> 00:20:32,722
Makes it bad for everybody,
doesn't it?
364
00:20:38,995 --> 00:20:41,464
I followed your crazy pap.
365
00:20:41,464 --> 00:20:44,934
Did you think I wouldn't
figure out it was you who
sent those pictures?
366
00:20:46,535 --> 00:20:51,507
You're a smart man, Prince.
Of course I thought you'd
figure it out.
367
00:20:51,507 --> 00:20:53,409
I was counting on it.
368
00:20:53,409 --> 00:20:56,078
Gibson Horne owns this magazine.
369
00:20:56,078 --> 00:21:01,017
He owns your team.
That makes us family.
370
00:21:01,017 --> 00:21:04,820
I don't want
to publish those nasty photos.
371
00:21:04,820 --> 00:21:08,624
That's why I intercepted the
negatives, So I could give them
back to you.
372
00:21:08,624 --> 00:21:11,761
Because that's what family does.
They look out for each other.
373
00:21:11,761 --> 00:21:13,829
OK.
374
00:21:13,829 --> 00:21:18,434
So, I do something to look out
for you, give you the negatives,
375
00:21:18,434 --> 00:21:20,770
and you do something for me.
376
00:21:22,671 --> 00:21:25,641
We're looking into
the disappearance of Aundre G.
377
00:21:25,641 --> 00:21:29,345
I know you hang out
with his pals and his manager.
378
00:21:29,345 --> 00:21:32,648
It's a pretty tight circle
you're in. I want that story.
379
00:21:32,648 --> 00:21:35,051
I don't know. I don't know
anything about that.
380
00:21:37,386 --> 00:21:41,657
Oh, I don't want this
to turn into one of those
ugly family fights
381
00:21:41,657 --> 00:21:45,594
where you won't help me
and I won't help you.
And then...
382
00:21:45,594 --> 00:21:49,065
That picture of you
with the dildo gets out.
383
00:21:49,065 --> 00:21:52,535
It wouldn't be good for your
image, let alone your marriage.
384
00:21:52,535 --> 00:21:54,670
I can't talk about Aundre G.
385
00:21:54,670 --> 00:21:57,473
I can give you anything else.
386
00:21:59,608 --> 00:22:04,213
How about an exclusive on how
you like taking it up the ass?
387
00:22:04,213 --> 00:22:05,781
Would that work?
388
00:22:07,850 --> 00:22:09,018
Come on.
389
00:22:10,252 --> 00:22:12,054
I always protect my sources.
390
00:22:12,054 --> 00:22:16,692
Whatever you tell me, no one
will ever know it came from you.
391
00:22:16,692 --> 00:22:18,661
I can't.
392
00:22:27,870 --> 00:22:29,572
We go to press in two days.
393
00:22:34,510 --> 00:22:38,614
I'm sorry I missed dinner,
but I have to work late.
394
00:22:38,614 --> 00:22:42,418
I know I said I'd be there,
Mom... I gotta go.
I'll call you back.
395
00:22:42,418 --> 00:22:43,919
Any leads on Connie Chris?
396
00:22:43,919 --> 00:22:46,956
Trying. Nothing solid yet.
397
00:22:46,956 --> 00:22:48,691
You want a chance to crack it?
398
00:22:50,192 --> 00:22:51,327
Yeah, yes.
399
00:22:52,895 --> 00:22:55,931
This is a pager number.
It's probably Connie's dealer.
400
00:22:55,931 --> 00:22:57,399
Ask for Garbo.
401
00:22:58,467 --> 00:23:00,469
Great, thanks.
402
00:23:00,469 --> 00:23:03,205
Willa.
Don't page her from here.
403
00:23:03,205 --> 00:23:06,876
I was just canceling my dinner.
404
00:23:06,876 --> 00:23:10,880
This dealer expects to see
a young face. That's why
I picked you.
405
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,815
Don't make me regret it.
406
00:23:12,815 --> 00:23:16,552
So, what do they mean,
"time off"?
407
00:23:16,552 --> 00:23:18,087
They want you to get better.
408
00:23:18,087 --> 00:23:20,890
Come back when you're
up to doing the show.
409
00:23:20,890 --> 00:23:23,092
I can do the
goddamn show, all right?
410
00:23:23,092 --> 00:23:26,428
They said they couldn't
use your stuff from the
last taping,
411
00:23:26,428 --> 00:23:29,165
- that you seem drugged.
- [scoffs]
412
00:23:29,165 --> 00:23:32,301
I told them that you were
still recovering from the
accident.
413
00:23:32,301 --> 00:23:33,936
She is still recovering!
414
00:23:33,936 --> 00:23:36,672
- That's what I told them.
- So they're firing me?
415
00:23:36,672 --> 00:23:39,675
- They can't fire you.
- They can suspend your deal.
416
00:23:39,675 --> 00:23:44,180
You can come back
when you're ready.
417
00:23:44,180 --> 00:23:46,282
The door is open.
418
00:23:46,282 --> 00:23:50,486
This is a chance for you
to take the time to get well.
419
00:23:50,486 --> 00:23:53,122
I'm fine, OK? I'm fine!
420
00:23:53,122 --> 00:23:57,092
[crying] Oh, God. Oh, my God.
421
00:23:58,460 --> 00:24:01,363
- Goddamn it,
are they recasting me?
- No!
422
00:24:01,363 --> 00:24:02,731
God, no!
423
00:24:02,731 --> 00:24:05,201
They're talking to Brittany
Murphy about coming in
424
00:24:05,201 --> 00:24:06,468
to play your sister.
425
00:24:06,468 --> 00:24:08,837
Jesus Christ,
they are totally replacing me.
426
00:24:08,837 --> 00:24:12,141
It's just for a few episodes.
427
00:24:12,141 --> 00:24:15,211
And then if it works,
you come back.
428
00:24:15,211 --> 00:24:18,847
Maybe she stays.
It could be a bump for the show.
429
00:24:18,847 --> 00:24:22,084
[sniffling] OK, just leave.
All right?
430
00:24:22,084 --> 00:24:24,420
Go. You can both go.
431
00:24:47,943 --> 00:24:50,913
Hey... I'm going to the lab.
432
00:24:50,913 --> 00:24:52,715
Swipe card?
433
00:24:52,715 --> 00:24:56,785
I, um... Oh, I left it
in the, uh...
434
00:24:56,785 --> 00:24:58,387
Gotta get these
to the lab.
435
00:24:58,387 --> 00:25:01,290
I can call down,
have someone come get them.
436
00:25:09,632 --> 00:25:13,969
OK... nitrous,
white lightning, uh, amyl-snaps.
437
00:25:13,969 --> 00:25:15,604
You into natural shit?
438
00:25:15,604 --> 00:25:19,742
I got a batch of San Pedro
cactus, serious sacred
Native American stuff.
439
00:25:19,742 --> 00:25:22,411
Um... Yeah, sure.
440
00:25:22,411 --> 00:25:25,080
Uh... My boyfriend and I
actually wanted to...
441
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,716
Shit, no, boys aren't
into natural highs.
442
00:25:27,716 --> 00:25:30,286
You want to impress him,
go for some Tepanil,
443
00:25:30,286 --> 00:25:32,554
maybe a little Dover's
to even him out.
444
00:25:34,623 --> 00:25:37,993
We actually wanted to throw
a party for Connie when she
gets out.
445
00:25:37,993 --> 00:25:39,928
- Connie?
- Chris.
446
00:25:39,928 --> 00:25:44,099
Um... I told you on the phone,
we're, like... we're good
friends.
447
00:25:44,099 --> 00:25:45,301
Really?
448
00:25:47,236 --> 00:25:49,938
I figured you were a narc,
I was gonna have to kill you.
449
00:25:54,543 --> 00:25:56,345
You brought cash?
450
00:25:56,345 --> 00:25:59,348
- Yeah 1,900, right?
- Yep.
451
00:26:06,655 --> 00:26:09,558
You gotta try this.
On the house.
452
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:12,494
I...
453
00:26:12,494 --> 00:26:14,596
Seriously, I need to know
you're not a narc.
454
00:26:14,596 --> 00:26:18,600
Plus this shit will totally
open your mind. This to get
you going.
455
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,304
And then this to keep it
coming in waves all night.
456
00:26:23,772 --> 00:26:26,809
Come on.
It will change your life.
457
00:26:26,809 --> 00:26:28,811
[sniffing]
458
00:26:28,811 --> 00:26:30,979
Mmm... yeah.
459
00:26:30,979 --> 00:26:34,817
It's like coming,
isn't it? Here.
460
00:26:48,030 --> 00:26:50,699
Are you really friends
with Connie Chris?
461
00:26:50,699 --> 00:26:52,701
Um... Yeah.
462
00:26:54,069 --> 00:26:56,605
Give her a message for me?
463
00:26:56,605 --> 00:26:58,006
Yeah.
464
00:26:58,006 --> 00:27:01,610
You tell her there is
a dealer in Hollywood...
465
00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:06,415
...who thinks
she's searing-hot sexy.
466
00:27:20,028 --> 00:27:23,165
No, she's fine.
She's sleeping.
467
00:27:23,165 --> 00:27:27,403
[man] Good, good, and you?
Teddy Jick loved you, you know.
468
00:27:27,403 --> 00:27:29,104
That's cool.
469
00:27:29,104 --> 00:27:32,941
I know you've been with Andy
forever, but your career's
at a critical place.
470
00:27:32,941 --> 00:27:34,710
Shh.
471
00:27:34,710 --> 00:27:37,212
I'd be honored
to work with you, Holt.
472
00:27:37,212 --> 00:27:38,647
Sign with me.
473
00:27:38,647 --> 00:27:40,849
I promise,
you'd be priority one
474
00:27:40,849 --> 00:27:43,919
and I'd be on guys
like Jick 24/7 for you.
475
00:27:45,654 --> 00:27:47,656
I appreciate that, Quinn.
476
00:27:51,894 --> 00:27:54,763
But I won't sign
with you on a promise.
477
00:27:54,763 --> 00:27:56,265
I'll only sign on a deal.
478
00:27:57,900 --> 00:28:03,872
I'll get you a deal. A big,
rich, action-picture deal.
479
00:28:03,872 --> 00:28:07,309
You and I are going
to do really well together, OK?
480
00:28:07,309 --> 00:28:08,677
I look forward to it.
481
00:28:23,992 --> 00:28:27,162
Honey?
I'm going to go out for a run.
482
00:28:33,402 --> 00:28:35,804
I grew up in Ohio,
so that's always gonna be home.
483
00:28:35,804 --> 00:28:39,174
Whenever I'm shooting in L.A.,
Justine and the kids gotta be
with me.
484
00:28:39,174 --> 00:28:42,444
Are you sure, because if you
ever need a place to stay...
485
00:28:42,444 --> 00:28:44,847
I'm not sure Justine would
approve of that.
486
00:28:44,847 --> 00:28:47,216
But seriously, you're
this big Hollywood star.
487
00:28:47,216 --> 00:28:49,251
You've got three
box-office smashes.
488
00:28:49,251 --> 00:28:52,721
- You are two-time
sexiest man alive.
- Yeah, four years ago.
489
00:28:52,721 --> 00:28:54,690
You know what?
You still have my vote.
490
00:28:54,690 --> 00:28:58,494
How do you keep the family
together despite the pressures
of a Hollywood career?
491
00:28:58,494 --> 00:29:00,429
Well, it is all
about family, isn't it?
492
00:29:00,429 --> 00:29:03,031
Oh, I wish more people
felt the same way you do.
493
00:29:03,031 --> 00:29:05,100
[Jack] Farm boy
upbringing, I guess.
494
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:07,769
Five hundred dollars cash.
495
00:29:09,538 --> 00:29:11,173
[groans]
496
00:29:11,173 --> 00:29:13,275
And all I have to do
is tell you where she is?
497
00:29:13,275 --> 00:29:14,910
Mm-hmm.
498
00:29:18,747 --> 00:29:22,651
- They got her in post-op ICU.
- Third floor.
How do I get in there?
499
00:29:22,651 --> 00:29:26,455
Nobody gets into post-op ICU
unless you're part of the team.
500
00:29:26,455 --> 00:29:29,791
Patients can't even
have family visitors.
501
00:29:29,791 --> 00:29:33,529
That's why they put her there,
to keep her away from guys
like you.
502
00:29:42,004 --> 00:29:44,039
Why do you need Connie Chris?
503
00:29:52,581 --> 00:29:54,650
Just take more
pictures of me.
504
00:29:56,518 --> 00:29:58,520
Aren't I beautiful enough?
505
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,756
Oh, you are.
506
00:30:00,756 --> 00:30:03,525
But I just...
I can't talk right now.
507
00:30:03,525 --> 00:30:06,295
Come on, sweetheart.
508
00:30:06,295 --> 00:30:10,432
Come on. It's just not
always the right time.
509
00:30:10,432 --> 00:30:15,904
It's just not the right thing
to do. It's not appropriate
for us to talk.
510
00:30:15,904 --> 00:30:19,508
No. It's not you, it's people...
511
00:30:19,508 --> 00:30:21,376
[girl] She grabbed
her things and ran out.
512
00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:40,362
- McPherson, what have you got?
- Huh?
513
00:30:40,362 --> 00:30:44,166
- Connie Chris? Anything?
- Um... Not yet, no.
514
00:30:44,166 --> 00:30:48,637
- Nothing from the dealer?
- Wouldn't admit to knowing her.
515
00:30:48,637 --> 00:30:51,273
Of course she wouldn't.
516
00:30:53,875 --> 00:30:58,180
Do you know why I gave you
that tip? Do you know why?
Can you tell me why?
517
00:30:58,180 --> 00:31:00,649
Because I have a young face?
518
00:31:00,649 --> 00:31:04,186
Because you spoke up. In a room
full of people playing it safe,
519
00:31:04,186 --> 00:31:07,155
you had an idea
and you spoke up.
520
00:31:07,155 --> 00:31:09,992
I thought, "Maybe this girl's
got the balls for the job."
521
00:31:09,992 --> 00:31:14,029
But I was wrong because I gave
you the goddamn tip and you came
back with dick.
522
00:31:14,029 --> 00:31:15,230
I'm sorry.
523
00:31:15,230 --> 00:31:18,367
You're sorry? Sorry won't
keep the sharks away.
524
00:31:24,506 --> 00:31:27,075
[retching, coughing]
525
00:31:32,481 --> 00:31:36,284
Hi, it's Lucy Spiller. I'm
about to close on your cover.
526
00:31:36,284 --> 00:31:38,020
You ready to talk?
527
00:31:40,922 --> 00:31:43,925
OK, we can meet at my house.
It's private.
528
00:31:43,925 --> 00:31:47,963
You can't run those photos.
Look, my wife, my kids...
529
00:31:47,963 --> 00:31:52,300
I wish I had other options,
I really do. But I'm looking
at a deadline here.
530
00:31:52,300 --> 00:31:56,204
So unless you tell me
what happened to Aundre G,
you leave me no choice.
531
00:32:00,809 --> 00:32:03,612
Don't make me run
your picture on the cover.
532
00:32:03,612 --> 00:32:05,213
It's beneath both of us.
533
00:32:05,213 --> 00:32:07,849
If I tell you, they kill me.
534
00:32:10,385 --> 00:32:12,120
I'm not shitting you.
535
00:32:13,321 --> 00:32:16,024
If they knew I was here,
they'd kill both of us.
536
00:32:17,025 --> 00:32:19,828
I'm willing to take the risk.
537
00:32:19,828 --> 00:32:23,432
No one will ever know
where I got this information.
538
00:32:23,432 --> 00:32:27,169
I tell you what I know,
and you promise never
to run those photos.
539
00:32:27,169 --> 00:32:29,204
I give you the negatives.
540
00:32:35,777 --> 00:32:37,779
Aundre G is dead.
541
00:32:39,781 --> 00:32:41,249
They killed him.
542
00:32:44,786 --> 00:32:48,590
His manager, Tweety McDaniel,
we all hang out.
543
00:32:48,590 --> 00:32:50,525
There's a group of us.
544
00:32:50,525 --> 00:32:53,195
- Poker buddies, right?
- Yeah, pretty much.
545
00:32:54,529 --> 00:32:57,599
So one day Aundre G
just stops coming.
546
00:32:59,334 --> 00:33:03,538
Stories get out, he's missing,
got into gang stuff, nobody
knows.
547
00:33:05,173 --> 00:33:08,210
Couple of months later,
another one of Tweety's
clients...
548
00:33:09,611 --> 00:33:11,346
...he makes a joke.
549
00:33:12,881 --> 00:33:15,550
Says he's getting
better offers from other labels.
550
00:33:17,319 --> 00:33:19,254
Tweety just goes cold.
551
00:33:22,090 --> 00:33:24,659
Says Aundre G
tried to leave him, too.
552
00:33:27,295 --> 00:33:29,331
Asks if we want to visit Aundre.
553
00:33:30,732 --> 00:33:33,034
Little lesson in loyalty,
he called it.
554
00:33:33,034 --> 00:33:34,703
Visit him?
555
00:33:34,703 --> 00:33:37,939
Tweety had his head, OK?
556
00:33:39,407 --> 00:33:41,910
In a jar.
557
00:33:41,910 --> 00:33:47,516
He said, "See? Nobody leaves me.
I got him right here.
558
00:33:47,516 --> 00:33:50,418
And he's still
making money for me."
559
00:34:02,898 --> 00:34:04,032
Holt?
560
00:34:09,171 --> 00:34:10,172
Shit.
561
00:34:29,891 --> 00:34:34,429
- [ringing]
- Come on... Come on, Holt.
562
00:34:37,132 --> 00:34:38,867
Shit!
563
00:34:38,867 --> 00:34:41,303
OK... OK...
564
00:34:48,343 --> 00:34:50,045
[knock on door]
565
00:34:51,279 --> 00:34:53,782
- Hey.
- Hey.
566
00:34:53,782 --> 00:34:56,484
Long time, I know.
567
00:34:58,386 --> 00:34:59,621
Yeah.
568
00:35:01,890 --> 00:35:04,259
Someone's a little bit clammy.
569
00:35:04,259 --> 00:35:06,494
Oh.
570
00:35:06,494 --> 00:35:09,564
Since when is Julia Mallory
back doing her own drug runs?
571
00:35:09,564 --> 00:35:11,700
Since her boyfriend
totally flaked on her.
572
00:35:15,036 --> 00:35:18,006
- Can I come in?
- Always.
573
00:35:25,247 --> 00:35:28,850
[Brent] There is no way
we're running this.
Are you out of your mind?
574
00:35:28,850 --> 00:35:32,287
I sourced it myself.
Nothing sells better than death.
575
00:35:32,287 --> 00:35:34,656
We're gonna get
our one-point-one and then some.
576
00:35:34,656 --> 00:35:38,326
There is no world in which legal
is going to approve this story.
577
00:35:38,326 --> 00:35:42,264
The minute this rolls off the
press, the DA's going to demand
your source.
578
00:35:42,264 --> 00:35:46,301
They're gonna get a judge
to hold you in contempt,
take you to jail.
579
00:35:46,301 --> 00:35:48,904
I'll run the magazine from jail.
Great publicity.
580
00:35:48,904 --> 00:35:51,606
Yes, and what happens
when this manager,
581
00:35:51,606 --> 00:35:55,510
Tweety McBlackguy, sues us
for libel because we accused him
of murder?
582
00:35:55,510 --> 00:35:57,212
He's guilty. Do you really think
583
00:35:57,212 --> 00:35:59,714
he's gonna wanna rush
into court for this one?
584
00:36:01,116 --> 00:36:03,051
Thirty percent.
585
00:36:03,051 --> 00:36:06,121
Gibson's interest
in Prince Tyreese's team.
586
00:36:06,121 --> 00:36:07,822
- Thirty percent.
- And?
587
00:36:07,822 --> 00:36:10,725
And there are security
cameras in the parking garage.
588
00:36:12,227 --> 00:36:14,963
I saw the tape,
you and Prince Tyreese.
589
00:36:14,963 --> 00:36:17,899
What else would he be
doing there, renewing
his subscription?
590
00:36:21,536 --> 00:36:24,439
God!
591
00:36:24,439 --> 00:36:29,077
If he wants to come forward,
be sourced, that's fine, great,
run the story.
592
00:36:29,077 --> 00:36:31,346
If not, you gotta get
a different cover.
593
00:36:32,347 --> 00:36:34,249
I've less than a day
to go to press.
594
00:36:42,657 --> 00:36:43,658
Good luck.
595
00:36:49,531 --> 00:36:54,302
Don, listen to me.
I need that Connie Chris story.
596
00:36:54,302 --> 00:36:58,707
Yeah, it's 8:30 in the morning
on closing day and I have
nothing.
597
00:36:58,707 --> 00:37:00,742
Do you understand?
598
00:37:00,742 --> 00:37:05,413
I would give my left nut
for those photos, Don, OK?
I swear to God.
599
00:37:05,413 --> 00:37:06,748
Get them for me, will you?
600
00:37:07,682 --> 00:37:08,950
OK?

East wing, post-op ICU...

Mylar.
604
00:37:25,567 --> 00:37:28,837
They put Mylar on the windows
of post-op ICU, Don.
605
00:37:28,837 --> 00:37:31,539
You're not gonna get
the picture from here.
606
00:37:38,780 --> 00:37:39,948
Thank you.
607
00:37:43,051 --> 00:37:45,320
They're really protecting
that girl, huh?
608
00:37:50,992 --> 00:37:53,928
If only somebody had
protected me that way.
609
00:37:56,097 --> 00:37:57,232
You have me.
610
00:37:59,567 --> 00:38:01,970
You don't need her,
too, do you?
611
00:38:01,970 --> 00:38:04,572
I promised Lucy
I'd get this shot.
612
00:38:04,572 --> 00:38:05,940
Damn Lucy.
613
00:38:05,940 --> 00:38:08,743
It always comes down
to what Lucy wants.
614
00:38:10,712 --> 00:38:15,250
I think you're just gonna
have to make a choice between
Lucy and I.
615
00:38:15,250 --> 00:38:18,219
Oh, no, don't make me do that.
616
00:38:19,788 --> 00:38:23,491
The choice is already made,
baby. You can't get the shot.

need some surgery.

Hey.

What's wrong?
What happened?
623
00:40:08,730 --> 00:40:10,331
I cut off my finger.
624
00:40:12,300 --> 00:40:15,937
I set myself on fire

625
00:40:15,937 --> 00:40:17,305
Shit.
626
00:40:19,207 --> 00:40:24,179

I'm so ugly.

No. You're beautiful.

You are crazy, insane, and don't
blame this on the schizophrenia.

Oh, my God, Don!
These are fantastic.
636
00:40:56,578 --> 00:40:59,113
Thank you.
637
00:40:59,113 --> 00:41:02,584
Wow. Hell of a
"Say No To Freebasing" poster.
638
00:41:02,584 --> 00:41:06,521
Tell me she told you what
drugs she was using when
she set herself on fire.
639

Heroin and epinephrine.
Said it was like touching God.

- She actually said that?
- Mmm.

I think I just came a little.

00:41:16,764 --> 00:41:18,766
Oh my God, Don, you're a genius.
643
00:41:20,268 --> 00:41:23,004
This is the one.

Oh, wow. That's it. That's
the cover. "Connie Crisp."

I got it in
before the close. See?

00:41:30,445 --> 00:41:32,981

nut for this photo,

as I was gonna go.

- That's good.
- Thank you.

Solid cover. See, I knew if I
pushed your buttons just right,
652
00:41:52,734 --> 00:41:54,602
you'd pull it out of your ass.
653

You don't get to
talk about my ass.
654

Good first issue.

amazing job, Leo. I really
appreciate it.

thing to ask.

Sure.

00:42:38,279 --> 00:42:40,748
It's awkward. I don't know
if I should bring it up.
668
00:42:40,748 --> 00:42:44,018
So if I'm out of line, I totally
understand and you can forget...
669
00:42:44,018 --> 00:42:48,156
Leo. Relax.
670
00:42:50,124 --> 00:42:52,093
I've been thinking
the same thing.
671
00:43:05,740 --> 00:43:10,244
Ever since I met you, I've been
thinking the same thing.

673
00:43:45,413 --> 00:43:47,548
Don't be mad, baby.
674
00:43:49,050 --> 00:43:52,720
I mean, I came home
to you, didn't I?
675
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:56,190
- I came home to you.
- I missed you.
676
00:43:58,025 --> 00:43:59,360
Here.
677
00:44:01,996 --> 00:44:04,031
Poor baby.
678
00:44:06,067 --> 00:44:07,602
Come here.
679
00:44:11,072 --> 00:44:12,507
Mmm...
680
00:44:19,781 --> 00:44:21,816
[coughing]
681
00:44:22,817 --> 00:44:24,018
[spits]
682
00:44:50,378 --> 00:44:52,280
It's too bright in here, baby.
683
00:44:54,715 --> 00:44:55,950
Come sleep.
684
00:46:01,115 --> 00:46:03,184
- Where is it?
- Where's what?
685
00:46:03,184 --> 00:46:06,053
Don't mess with me, Frankie,
this is a P&W newsstand.
686
00:46:06,053 --> 00:46:08,856
We pay for tier-one placement.
Where is Dirt Now?
687
00:46:08,856 --> 00:46:11,993
I don't know.
Maybe the placement's too good.
688
00:46:13,494 --> 00:46:14,629
I sold out.
689
00:46:16,297 --> 00:46:17,565
What?
690
00:46:17,565 --> 00:46:21,369
But don't worry.
I did save you one copy.
691
00:46:27,742 --> 00:46:32,079
Don't you ever, ever, save
one for me. Do you hear me?
692
00:46:32,079 --> 00:46:35,116
You sell them all!
You always sell them all!
693
00:46:35,116 --> 00:46:36,951
Look, keep it.
694
00:46:36,951 --> 00:46:39,487
I'll buy it. It'll go
against your cover sales.
