00:00:01,300 --> 00:00:04,136
[Don] Hi, I'm Don Konkey.
I'm a photographer.
2
00:00:04,136 --> 00:00:06,154
Technically, I'm a freelancer,
3
00:00:06,154 --> 00:00:09,157
but outside of the occasional
Cat Fancier Magazine photo,
4
00:00:09,157 --> 00:00:12,059
I'm exclusive to Dirt Now.
5
00:00:12,059 --> 00:00:16,564
Last week, I was covering
a story for Lucy Spiller,
my friend and boss,
6
00:00:16,564 --> 00:00:20,268
- and things didn't go so well.
- Get him!
7
00:00:20,268 --> 00:00:21,769
I ended up in jail...
8
00:00:21,769 --> 00:00:25,239
- Don, are you OK?
- Yeah.
9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,342
...not the best place
for a schizophrenic.
10
00:00:28,342 --> 00:00:31,112
That's Holt McLaren.
He gives Lucy dirt.
11
00:00:31,112 --> 00:00:34,282
With her help,
he's gonna be the next big
thing in action movies.
12
00:00:34,282 --> 00:00:36,050
You're gonna
have to bulk up.
13
00:00:36,050 --> 00:00:38,819
That's Holt's girlfriend,
Julia Mallory.
14
00:00:38,819 --> 00:00:41,689
With the help
of her dealer, Garbo,
15
00:00:41,689 --> 00:00:44,692
she's gonna be
the next big thing in rehab.
16
00:00:44,692 --> 00:00:47,628
Holt's relationship
with Lucy and Julia
17
00:00:47,628 --> 00:00:49,664
are starting to take a toll
on his stomach.
18
00:00:50,598 --> 00:00:53,000
We all have something.
19
00:00:55,770 --> 00:00:59,140
Lucy's dad committed suicide
when she was 15.
20
00:00:59,140 --> 00:01:02,376
Now her relationships
with men aren't so good.
21
00:01:02,376 --> 00:01:06,514
Did you come the last time?
Maybe you could
give me some direction.
22
00:01:06,514 --> 00:01:11,118
I could draw a map.
It's not going to happen.
I have better luck alone.
23
00:01:11,118 --> 00:01:12,987
[buzzing]
24
00:01:12,987 --> 00:01:14,789
[Don] Good thing she's got me.
25
00:01:17,558 --> 00:01:20,661
- [woman] We were thinking...
- [man] If it works for you...
26
00:01:20,661 --> 00:01:23,264
And this'll be exclusive,
if it works for you,
27
00:01:23,264 --> 00:01:25,933
I get caught in a lesbian
affair with Chyna!
28
00:01:25,933 --> 00:01:28,302
We've already talked to her.
She's totally in.
29
00:01:28,302 --> 00:01:30,838
And once it hits,
Chris will accept it.
30
00:01:30,838 --> 00:01:35,209
Yeah. I accept it,
and then we move in
together as a "thrupple."
31
00:01:35,209 --> 00:01:39,280
But when that dies down,
I get jealous of him and Chyna.
32
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,216
So Chyna and I
have Adrianne move out!
33
00:01:42,216 --> 00:01:44,552
And I have to win him back!
34
00:01:47,555 --> 00:01:51,592
Thank you. That is good stuff,
it really is.
35
00:01:51,592 --> 00:01:53,761
You've put a lot
of thought into it.
36
00:01:53,761 --> 00:01:56,797
I have to deal with an editorial
issue. But you can come back?
37
00:01:56,797 --> 00:02:00,568
Sure, and just so you know,
we're completely
flexible on the story.
38
00:02:00,568 --> 00:02:02,236
These are just a few ideas.
39
00:02:02,236 --> 00:02:05,573
Great. I'll have Kenny
show you out. Be in touch.
40
00:02:05,573 --> 00:02:07,575
- OK!
- Thank you!
41
00:02:07,575 --> 00:02:11,212
- What do you think?
- Dude, we are
totally getting a cover.
42
00:02:11,212 --> 00:02:13,881
$400,000 for an exclusive
on the wedding
43
00:02:13,881 --> 00:02:16,384
and some waiter with
a cell-phone cam scoops us?
44
00:02:16,384 --> 00:02:18,586
They're crap images.
People want the glam.
45
00:02:18,586 --> 00:02:21,756
"People want to see the glam?"
What is that, a Shakira lyric?
46
00:02:21,756 --> 00:02:23,758
I want to see an exclusive.
47
00:02:23,758 --> 00:02:25,793
What do we know about
this cheerleader?
48
00:02:25,793 --> 00:02:28,129
Amber Carmichael,
disappeared at a pep rally,
49
00:02:28,129 --> 00:02:29,797
found behind her high school.
50
00:02:29,797 --> 00:02:32,900
Not a lot on the wires.
No arrest yet, small-town story.
51
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:36,671
- How small a town?
- Uh, Walnut Valley,
52
00:02:36,671 --> 00:02:38,239
about an hour
and a half out of L.A.
53
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:43,210
- Population 11,000.
- Now that's a solid cover.
54
00:02:43,210 --> 00:02:47,014
It's a great cover,
but we have two days to close
55
00:02:47,014 --> 00:02:49,917
and we don't have a reason
to think she had a secret life.
56
00:02:49,917 --> 00:02:53,387
Everyone has a secret life.
She was murdered!
57
00:02:53,387 --> 00:02:56,223
Her secret life
is our next cover.
You'd better all get to work.

Hello.
64
00:03:16,177 --> 00:03:18,479
Your office seems
to get bigger and bigger.
65
00:03:18,479 --> 00:03:22,516
- Same office, Chuck.
- And yet... bigger.
66
00:03:22,516 --> 00:03:24,318
Maybe I should do a story:
67
00:03:24,318 --> 00:03:28,456
"Mysterious expanding office
takes on all in its path."
68
00:03:28,456 --> 00:03:30,191
I need you on something.
69
00:03:30,191 --> 00:03:33,361
You already have me up
to my ears in nuts and sluts.
70
00:03:33,361 --> 00:03:36,731
I got "Family Keeps
Pet Hippo in Living Room,"
71
00:03:36,731 --> 00:03:39,800
"Idaho Potato
Looks Like Virgin Mary."
72
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,102
My plate's kinda full.
73
00:03:41,102 --> 00:03:43,871
I need you on a cover.
It's a crime story.
74
00:03:43,871 --> 00:03:47,641
I'm sending an army
to Walnut Valley to get into
this cheerleader murder.
75
00:03:47,641 --> 00:03:51,178
These knuckleheads will treat it
like some premiere after-party.
76
00:03:51,178 --> 00:03:54,215
I need hard journalism,
ME reports, DA's office...
77
00:03:54,215 --> 00:03:57,551
I have two Polk awards. I know
how to cover a crime story.
78
00:03:57,551 --> 00:03:59,353
That's why I called you.
79
00:03:59,353 --> 00:04:03,524
- You sending me
for a cover or a story?
- Meaning?
80
00:04:03,524 --> 00:04:06,594
You've already
picked out your headline,
"Her Secret Life."
81
00:04:06,594 --> 00:04:10,197
If this girl had no secrets,
fine. Come home, I'll run
something else.
82
00:04:10,197 --> 00:04:14,034
Girl's dead. Maybe some things
should just stay secret.
83
00:04:14,034 --> 00:04:15,569
Do you want the story or not?
84
00:04:15,569 --> 00:04:18,038
Yeah. I'll take the story.
85
00:04:18,038 --> 00:04:20,207
I want Willa McPherson
to go with you.
86
00:04:20,207 --> 00:04:22,410
Think a chaperone
can keep me on the wagon?
87
00:04:22,410 --> 00:04:27,014
One can only hope. She seems
hungry. Maybe she'll learn
something from you.
88
00:04:27,014 --> 00:04:30,284
- Like you did?
- If she's lucky.
89
00:04:34,588 --> 00:04:40,294
Hey, $400,000 for exclusives
of Cheryl Lane's wedding
90
00:04:40,294 --> 00:04:41,829
and you're bumping the cover?
91
00:04:41,829 --> 00:04:45,132
"Exclusive" the operative word.
Pictures all over the Internet.
92
00:04:45,132 --> 00:04:48,536
So, what's the cover?
Or do you plan on surprising me?
93
00:04:48,536 --> 00:04:51,338
Because as I recall that
didn't go so well last time.
94
00:04:51,338 --> 00:04:54,775
- Meet Amber Carmichael.
- Never heard of her.
95
00:04:54,775 --> 00:04:58,712
White, attractive,
murdered in her uniform.
America's gonna love her.
96
00:04:58,712 --> 00:05:00,981
More than Cheryl Lane's
fairy-tale wedding?
97
00:05:00,981 --> 00:05:03,584
Celebrity murder
trumps celebrity wedding.
98
00:05:03,584 --> 00:05:07,321
- She's not a celebrity.
- Yes, well, she will be.
99
00:05:28,876 --> 00:05:31,512
OK, check with me
before you head out,
100
00:05:31,512 --> 00:05:34,181
even if you have your
assignments.
101
00:05:39,620 --> 00:05:43,491
Hi! We're doing a story
for Dirt Now magazine.
102
00:05:43,491 --> 00:05:45,659
Did any of you know
Amber Carmichael?
103
00:05:45,659 --> 00:05:48,229
Poor bastards, they'll never
know what hit them.
104
00:05:48,229 --> 00:05:50,865
Um, we're...
Lucy told us to wait before...
105
00:05:50,865 --> 00:05:53,267
You don't have to tell me
what Lucy said.
106
00:05:53,267 --> 00:05:56,437
Everything she knows about
reporting, she learned from me.
107
00:05:56,437 --> 00:05:58,439
Lucy learned from you?
108
00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:02,943
I was her mentor at The Trib,
back when I was
a respected journalist.
109
00:06:02,943 --> 00:06:06,180
- Hard to believe, I know.
- You worked with Lucy
at The Trib?
110
00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:10,451
I thought you were
the Dirt spooks-and-kooks
guy since forever.
111
00:06:10,451 --> 00:06:13,320
Nice interview technique.
Subtle.
112
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,624
- Did you know Amber Carmichael?
- All right. Let's regroup.
113
00:06:16,624 --> 00:06:18,325
What do we got so far?
114
00:06:18,325 --> 00:06:22,229
I called the DA's office,
but they don't
have a press liaison.
115
00:06:22,229 --> 00:06:23,697
Hm. Interesting.
116
00:06:23,697 --> 00:06:25,966
Look, there's
a memorial for this girl
117
00:06:25,966 --> 00:06:27,968
at the local church
in two hours.
118
00:06:27,968 --> 00:06:31,672
- Why don't we go there,
check it out?
- How did you know about it?
119
00:06:31,672 --> 00:06:35,809
Big, complicated story like
this, intricate local politics,
120
00:06:35,809 --> 00:06:38,145
you really gotta
know how to dig.
121
00:06:39,780 --> 00:06:42,016
Oh.
122
00:06:42,016 --> 00:06:44,552
It's nice out. Let's walk.
123
00:06:44,552 --> 00:06:47,254
Maybe we'll, uh, find
another scoop on the way.
124
00:06:49,089 --> 00:06:51,659
So, what was Lucy like
when she was starting out?
125
00:06:51,659 --> 00:06:55,863
What was her first big story?
How did she rise so far so fast?
126
00:06:55,863 --> 00:06:58,032
You're a one-man
press conference.
127
00:06:58,032 --> 00:07:00,768
Look, you want to be
a reporter, remember this:
128
00:07:00,768 --> 00:07:04,838
Everyone wants
to tell their story.
You gotta cultivate your source.
129
00:07:04,838 --> 00:07:09,243
One question at a time.
Sometimes no questions.
130
00:07:09,243 --> 00:07:11,045
Sorry.
131
00:07:15,482 --> 00:07:19,119
So, what was Lucy like
when she started out?
132
00:07:19,119 --> 00:07:21,989
Kind of a little
bit like you.
133
00:07:21,989 --> 00:07:25,159
Not necessarily
a compliment.
134
00:07:27,361 --> 00:07:31,332
So we'll do the flowers
ourselves. Fine, I'll call then.
135
00:07:31,332 --> 00:07:33,067
I will. I... I gotta go.
136
00:07:33,067 --> 00:07:36,236
Sorry. People hear it's a
wedding, and the prices triple.
137
00:07:36,236 --> 00:07:38,005
Not interested.
Has Don called?
138
00:07:38,005 --> 00:07:39,607
No. You want me
to try him again?
139
00:07:39,607 --> 00:07:41,775
Yes! And can you
just use our florist?
140
00:07:41,775 --> 00:07:44,211
We spend a fortune.
Should count for something.
141
00:07:44,211 --> 00:07:47,114
- Thank you. Yes.
- Are you dialing Don?
142
00:07:48,182 --> 00:07:50,651
[phone ringing]
143
00:08:04,632 --> 00:08:06,667
[bell tolling]
144
00:08:20,648 --> 00:08:23,617
Local cops. They got nothing.
145
00:08:23,617 --> 00:08:25,919
How can you tell?
146
00:08:25,919 --> 00:08:29,523
No one's talking to them,
they're talking to no one.
147
00:08:29,523 --> 00:08:33,427
- Maybe they're
just being respectful.
- Their mistake.
148
00:08:33,427 --> 00:08:36,597
Killer isn't ID'd in the first
24 hours, probably won't be.
149
00:08:36,597 --> 00:08:41,235
No one in this crowd's
gonna give up dirt on the girl.
No dirt, no suspect.
150
00:08:41,235 --> 00:08:44,038
Well, if they're not
gonna give it up for cops,
151
00:08:44,038 --> 00:08:46,540
what makes you think
they're going to talk to us?
152
00:08:46,540 --> 00:08:48,409
We're in a church.
153
00:08:48,409 --> 00:08:52,112
Maybe we can get
a blessing from the reverend.
154
00:08:54,815 --> 00:08:58,552
Reverend, I'm Chuck Lafoon.
This is Willa McPherson.
155
00:08:58,552 --> 00:09:01,822
We're from Dirt Now Magazine.
I'm sorry for the intrusion.
156
00:09:01,822 --> 00:09:05,259
Please, this is
a house of mourning.
157
00:09:07,795 --> 00:09:09,763
Impressive.
158
00:09:09,763 --> 00:09:14,168
Excuse me, did you say
you're from Dirt Now?
159
00:09:14,168 --> 00:09:16,003
Yes.
160
00:09:16,003 --> 00:09:18,572
Amber and I
were best friends.
161
00:09:18,572 --> 00:09:21,341
We're both totally
into Dirt Now.
162
00:09:21,341 --> 00:09:25,145
I mean, we were...
she was.
163
00:09:25,145 --> 00:09:29,883
- I still can't
believe she's gone.
- I'm so sorry.
164
00:09:29,883 --> 00:09:33,187
Anyway, I saw you talking
to my dad, so...
165
00:09:33,187 --> 00:09:37,057
Your father's the minister?
Willa has family in the clergy.
166
00:09:38,425 --> 00:09:39,693
Constant chore, right?
167
00:09:41,095 --> 00:09:42,763
Yeah, totally.
168
00:09:42,763 --> 00:09:47,401
Well, uh, you probably want
to focus on the service.
169
00:09:47,401 --> 00:09:51,572
Maybe you guys could get
together afterwards
and talk a little bit,
170
00:09:51,572 --> 00:09:55,442
- get some background
for the magazine.
- Sure. Yeah, OK.
171
00:09:55,442 --> 00:09:56,877
Should I...?
172
00:09:56,877 --> 00:09:59,813
- We'll find you after.
- Cool.
173
00:10:02,382 --> 00:10:05,986
Well, you got your
first crime-story interview.
174
00:10:05,986 --> 00:10:08,722
God help us.
175
00:10:08,722 --> 00:10:12,326
Great, Quinn.
That's great.
176
00:10:12,326 --> 00:10:15,596
OK, listen, I just got home,
so I gotta go.
177
00:10:15,596 --> 00:10:17,698
All right, I will. Thanks.
178
00:10:19,099 --> 00:10:21,168
Hey.
179
00:10:21,168 --> 00:10:23,103
Quinn says hi.
180
00:10:23,103 --> 00:10:27,641
If he wanted to talk to me,
he could answer one of my
goddamned phone calls.
181
00:10:27,641 --> 00:10:30,544
He said he wants
to have lunch with you.
182
00:10:30,544 --> 00:10:33,313
When's the last time you
checked your voicemail?
183
00:10:37,818 --> 00:10:39,453
Hard Charger deal just closed.
184
00:10:41,121 --> 00:10:43,257
Name above the title.
185
00:10:44,925 --> 00:10:46,960
Shit!
186
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,398
- That's... that's...
- Huge!
187
00:10:52,833 --> 00:10:55,068
After Dawson fell out,
Johnny Gage's people
188
00:10:55,068 --> 00:10:57,571
were all over them,
but they only wanted me.
189
00:10:57,571 --> 00:11:00,440
Three movies in a row,
all summer tent poles.
190
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,276
- Babe, that's awesome.
- Yeah.
191
00:11:04,845 --> 00:11:06,346
Come here.
192
00:11:14,688 --> 00:11:16,223
Just lay back.
193
00:11:25,499 --> 00:11:28,001
Whoa. What the hell is that?
194
00:11:28,001 --> 00:11:31,471
I scratched myself in a taxi.
195
00:11:31,471 --> 00:11:34,074
You scratched yourself?
Let me see!
196
00:11:35,108 --> 00:11:36,276
- Let me see!
- What?
197
00:11:38,145 --> 00:11:40,647
Jesus Christ, Julia!
What the hell are you doing?
198
00:11:40,647 --> 00:11:42,482
It's not a big deal! God!
199
00:11:42,482 --> 00:11:45,886
I knew you were gonna
be a drag today!
200
00:11:50,858 --> 00:11:53,493
- [knocking]
- [Lucy] Don?
201
00:11:54,795 --> 00:11:57,164
Don!
202
00:11:57,164 --> 00:11:58,465
Don?
203
00:12:02,536 --> 00:12:04,071
Hey.
204
00:12:05,973 --> 00:12:09,776
Don, you haven't been
returning my calls.
205
00:12:09,776 --> 00:12:10,944
I'm working.
206
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:16,016
You're writing
on your photos.
207
00:12:16,016 --> 00:12:18,452
[Don] I have to get it out.
208
00:12:18,452 --> 00:12:21,421
I worry about you when you
don't call me back.
209
00:12:21,421 --> 00:12:23,156
[Don muttering]
210
00:12:23,156 --> 00:12:24,925
Sorry, Lucy.
211
00:12:25,993 --> 00:12:27,527
How's your finger?
212
00:12:27,527 --> 00:12:31,031
It throbs a lot,
but doctor said that's good.
213
00:12:31,031 --> 00:12:32,132
Good.
214
00:12:33,734 --> 00:12:36,236
I brought you some food.
215
00:12:36,236 --> 00:12:38,538
It's your favorite soup
from Nate 'n Al's.
216
00:12:40,607 --> 00:12:43,143
OK.
217
00:12:43,143 --> 00:12:45,746
Oh, no, no, no...
218
00:12:45,746 --> 00:12:50,117
Hey, what happened? You seemed
to be doing so much better.
219
00:12:50,117 --> 00:12:53,921
- Do you want
to go to the hospital?
- No!
220
00:12:55,455 --> 00:13:00,060
It's just the police, you know.
I didn't like their bathrooms.
221
00:13:00,060 --> 00:13:02,396
You're still upset
about the arrest.
222
00:13:03,897 --> 00:13:07,768
- They still might
come back for me.
- No. I took care of it.
223
00:13:07,768 --> 00:13:09,569
The police will
not come back.
224
00:13:11,204 --> 00:13:12,940
OK.
225
00:13:15,509 --> 00:13:17,811
I'm fine.
226
00:13:17,811 --> 00:13:21,882
It's just, you know,
it's up and down like always.
227
00:13:21,882 --> 00:13:26,320
I just need to work,
you know, for focus.
228
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,755
- It'll help.
- OK.
229
00:13:28,755 --> 00:13:32,626
Why don't you come in
on Wednesday, and I'll
have something for you.
230
00:13:34,628 --> 00:13:35,829
It's OK.
231
00:13:39,866 --> 00:13:44,037
[soft rock plays]
232
00:13:44,037 --> 00:13:46,573
You actually know Britney?
233
00:13:46,573 --> 00:13:50,444
It was a little interview,
but we did have
a burping contest.
234
00:13:50,444 --> 00:13:53,013
- Bet she won.
- Oh, hands down.
235
00:13:53,013 --> 00:13:56,016
This is all Britney.
Amber and I made it together.
236
00:13:56,016 --> 00:13:58,285
Did K-Fed really sleep
in the basement?
237
00:13:58,285 --> 00:14:03,056
That one she wouldn't answer.
So who else was Amber into?
238
00:14:03,056 --> 00:14:07,728
She was a Lindsay girl all the
way. I'm all about Paris. You?
239
00:14:07,728 --> 00:14:10,897
- Ah, Paris.
- I know, right?
240
00:14:10,897 --> 00:14:12,766
We always have this debate.
241
00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:16,103
Well, had.
242
00:14:16,103 --> 00:14:17,571
We had it.
243
00:14:19,072 --> 00:14:20,474
How long were you friends?
244
00:14:21,608 --> 00:14:24,511
Forever. We shared everything.
245
00:14:26,413 --> 00:14:29,850
- Did she have a boyfriend?
- We're not supposed to date.
246
00:14:29,850 --> 00:14:32,252
We both took
the church chastity vows.
247
00:14:32,252 --> 00:14:35,422
We're supposed
to wait to be married.
248
00:14:35,422 --> 00:14:40,193
But now she'll
never have that chance.
249
00:14:49,169 --> 00:14:53,540
Maddy, would you mind
if I borrowed this?
250
00:14:54,875 --> 00:14:56,810
- I'd give it back.
- For the magazine?
251
00:14:58,278 --> 00:15:01,748
Wow. Yeah, do you
want to see my others?
252
00:15:04,751 --> 00:15:08,522
Holt! Holt. No sorbet,
extra peach and bee pollen.
253
00:15:08,522 --> 00:15:11,158
- Thanks.
- Bee pollen's good for stress.
254
00:15:11,158 --> 00:15:14,694
When things get tough
at home, I always double up
on the bee pollen.
255
00:15:14,694 --> 00:15:18,098
I could grab a bottle
so you could bring it for Julia.
256
00:15:18,098 --> 00:15:21,168
I heard she's been
having a rough time, so...
257
00:15:21,168 --> 00:15:24,104
- You heard, huh?
- I mean,
the magazines and stuff.
258
00:15:24,104 --> 00:15:25,872
I'm sure it's
all bullshit, right?
259
00:15:25,872 --> 00:15:27,474
Yeah, it is, believe me.
260
00:15:27,474 --> 00:15:30,610
- She's fine.
- Good, good. Um...
261
00:15:30,610 --> 00:15:32,779
They'll be ready
for you in five, so...
262
00:15:40,854 --> 00:15:43,924
Hey, it's me. Just checking in.
263
00:15:43,924 --> 00:15:46,793
I really hope
you're checking your voicemail.
264
00:15:46,793 --> 00:15:49,763
All right, I'm working late,
so call my cell.
265
00:15:51,364 --> 00:15:52,833
- Whoa! Sorry!
- Jesus, man!
266
00:15:52,833 --> 00:15:55,469
- Not loud enough for you?
- What?
267
00:15:55,469 --> 00:15:56,736
- Miss something?
- No.
268
00:15:56,736 --> 00:15:59,806
You fishing for a story?
Are you selling to the tabs?
269
00:15:59,806 --> 00:16:01,842
What are they paying you?
How much?
270
00:16:01,842 --> 00:16:05,145
- What are you talking about?
- How much, you little shit?
271
00:16:05,145 --> 00:16:07,814
I swear to God! They're ready
for you on set, man!
272
00:16:07,814 --> 00:16:12,252
They're ready for you on set,
that's it.
273
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,424
No, the chief and I agreed
we are not talking to the press.
274
00:16:17,424 --> 00:16:18,959
On the record.
275
00:16:18,959 --> 00:16:20,927
It is a matter in
our local justice system.
276
00:16:20,927 --> 00:16:22,929
We are gonna let
the system do the work.
277
00:16:22,929 --> 00:16:25,932
- Thanks, that's great.
- Seriously.
278
00:16:25,932 --> 00:16:30,537
No, I get it.
"Let the system do the work."
It's a strong quote.
279
00:16:30,537 --> 00:16:34,307
Aloof, in charge, gives
the sense you're closing in.
280
00:16:34,307 --> 00:16:36,543
Have you worked
high-profile murder cases?
281
00:16:36,543 --> 00:16:39,446
High profile?
This is Walnut Valley.
282
00:16:39,446 --> 00:16:43,550
When I covered
the Blue River Killer murders,
that was 14 years ago,
283
00:16:43,550 --> 00:16:45,619
it was that D.A.'s
first big murder case.
284
00:16:45,619 --> 00:16:48,021
Blue...
285
00:16:48,021 --> 00:16:51,258
You're Chuck Lafoon.
I knew I knew you.
286
00:16:51,258 --> 00:16:53,193
I read your book!
Did you read his book?
287
00:16:53,193 --> 00:16:55,295
- Uh, yeah.
- The prosecutor
you wrote about,
288
00:16:55,295 --> 00:16:58,632
Engler. He is one
of the reasons I became a D.A.
289
00:16:58,632 --> 00:17:00,500
Engler's great.
He made that case.
290
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:03,370
The fingerprint on the light
bulb in the hallway, genius.
291
00:17:03,370 --> 00:17:04,871
He's an amazing guy.
292
00:17:04,871 --> 00:17:08,341
The book-worthy cases always
have great characters like that,
293
00:17:08,341 --> 00:17:11,811
a leading man making
the case and a twist.
294
00:17:11,811 --> 00:17:15,615
- You gotta have a twist.
- Oh, this story
has a major twist.
295
00:17:18,285 --> 00:17:20,954
No worries.
We're off the record.
296
00:17:22,289 --> 00:17:23,790
Come here.
297
00:17:26,826 --> 00:17:30,830
Anything you give me on deep
background, not for attribution,
298
00:17:30,830 --> 00:17:33,366
whatever,
it won't get back to you.
299
00:17:33,366 --> 00:17:37,837
No one knew I was talking to
Engler till the verdict was in.
300
00:17:37,837 --> 00:17:42,609
All right, the ME's report
won't be out for
a couple of days,
301
00:17:42,609 --> 00:17:47,480
but the victim, the girl...
she was pregnant.
302
00:17:51,685 --> 00:17:55,088
- Holy shit.
- What?
303
00:17:55,088 --> 00:17:59,059
Lucy was right. Girl did
have a goddamn secret life.
304
00:17:59,059 --> 00:18:00,860
[on TV] Residents
of Walnut Valley
305
00:18:00,860 --> 00:18:03,630
have been shocked and outraged
to find out the truth...
306
00:18:03,630 --> 00:18:06,199
Tell me the networks
are using our name.
307
00:18:06,199 --> 00:18:09,202
We got different exclusives
in exchange for crediting us
308
00:18:09,202 --> 00:18:11,204
for breaking
the story in the issue.
309
00:18:11,204 --> 00:18:14,441
The numbers should be great.
I'm glad we upped
the West Coast draw.
310
00:18:14,441 --> 00:18:17,644
Somebody get this guy a stylist
or at least some powder.
311
00:18:17,644 --> 00:18:19,446
He's going to drown
in his sweat.
312
00:18:19,446 --> 00:18:22,549
We're not gonna have it
all to ourselves next week.
313
00:18:22,549 --> 00:18:24,651
Does anyone have
a jump on the next cover?
314
00:18:24,651 --> 00:18:28,421
We're thinking victim's parents,
something like this...
315
00:18:28,421 --> 00:18:31,391
Filler. The girl was pregnant.
Who is the baby's father?
316
00:18:31,391 --> 00:18:35,762
- I haven't found a boyfriend.
- Stop telling me
what you don't have.
317
00:18:35,762 --> 00:18:38,698
- You've got an in
with the best friend.
- I'm working on it.
318
00:18:38,698 --> 00:18:41,801
Hey! Wanted to come by
and congratulate everybody.
319
00:18:41,801 --> 00:18:44,437
- Good job this week.
- Thanks, Brent.
320
00:18:44,437 --> 00:18:47,841
- Is that next week's cover?
- Something we're
playing around with.
321
00:18:47,841 --> 00:18:51,511
- I'll let you know
when it's locked.
- Uh-huh.
322
00:18:51,511 --> 00:18:53,913
- We have the
parents' cooperation?
- We'll see.
323
00:18:53,913 --> 00:18:57,951
Talk to legal.
They're not public figures.
If they won't cooperate...
324
00:18:57,951 --> 00:19:01,588
Last week they weren't
public figures. Today
the whole world knows them.
325
00:19:01,588 --> 00:19:04,858
- Because of us.
- You only worry
about your image.
326
00:19:04,858 --> 00:19:08,361
About the magazine's image. What
we publish has consequences.
327
00:19:08,361 --> 00:19:10,864
This case was going nowhere
until we stepped in.
328
00:19:10,864 --> 00:19:14,668
We may raise enough hell
to bring this girl's killer
to justice.
329
00:19:14,668 --> 00:19:16,936
How's that for consequences?
330
00:19:16,936 --> 00:19:21,174
Wow. Seems like I hit a nerve.
331
00:19:21,174 --> 00:19:23,310
What are the odds of that,
one in a billion?
332
00:19:23,310 --> 00:19:24,311
Oh, God.
333
00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:29,282
The competition on this case
is about to get intense.
334
00:19:29,282 --> 00:19:31,351
We need to continue
breaking this story.
335
00:19:31,351 --> 00:19:34,454
If we do, we won't get
one more cover, we'll get five,
336
00:19:34,454 --> 00:19:37,490
explosive reveal
of the unborn baby's father,
337
00:19:37,490 --> 00:19:40,894
the arrest, perp walk,
trial, justice.
338
00:19:40,894 --> 00:19:44,864
This girl's dead.
I want to know who. I want to
know what. I want to know why.
339
00:19:49,035 --> 00:19:52,972
- Fun story, huh?
- Yeah, everyone loves a murder.
340
00:19:52,972 --> 00:19:56,242
Fifteen and, bam,
it's over just like that.
341
00:19:56,242 --> 00:19:58,278
Yep.
342
00:19:59,179 --> 00:20:00,580
You're not objective.
343
00:20:02,549 --> 00:20:04,150
Excuse me?
344
00:20:04,150 --> 00:20:07,487
This story. I know why
you're so obsessed by it.
345
00:20:07,487 --> 00:20:12,625
I'm a mad genius? Or is it my
gift to find editorial gold?
346
00:20:12,625 --> 00:20:13,660
It's the girl.
347
00:20:19,199 --> 00:20:23,002
I remember way back one night,
you got drunk at McClootey's,
348
00:20:23,002 --> 00:20:25,271
told me the story
of your father's suicide,
349
00:20:25,271 --> 00:20:29,542
how you found his body, how you
never understood why he did it.
350
00:20:31,244 --> 00:20:35,048
You were 15,
just like this girl.
351
00:20:35,048 --> 00:20:39,886
You said you died that day.
Your words. "I died that day."
352
00:20:39,886 --> 00:20:44,791
That's why you wanted
to be a reporter, so you
could know the why of things.
353
00:20:44,791 --> 00:20:48,695
- I said that?
- You were drunk.
354
00:20:48,695 --> 00:20:51,231
Yeah. Must've been.
355
00:20:51,231 --> 00:20:54,367
You said your father's suicide
was the one mystery
356
00:20:54,367 --> 00:20:57,070
you most wanted to solve.
357
00:20:57,070 --> 00:21:00,140
You said it like everything
would fall into place
if you knew
358
00:21:00,140 --> 00:21:04,277
the answer to that question.
"Why? Why did he do it?"
359
00:21:04,277 --> 00:21:09,082
Aren't you curious?
About her life? Her death?
360
00:21:09,082 --> 00:21:11,751
Don't you want
to know what happened?
361
00:21:11,751 --> 00:21:15,155
Or have your reporting instincts
gone the way of your liver?
362
00:21:18,324 --> 00:21:22,462
You can stop negating my concern
by focusing on my alcoholism.
363
00:21:22,462 --> 00:21:24,631
I concede. I'm a drunk.
364
00:21:24,631 --> 00:21:27,267
But you are emotionally
involved in this story...
365
00:21:27,267 --> 00:21:28,668
I'm finding answers.
366
00:21:30,069 --> 00:21:31,971
Not everything has an answer.
367
00:21:56,196 --> 00:21:58,398
[indistinct chatter]
368
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,709
Don't tell me
you can't do an interview.
369
00:22:09,709 --> 00:22:11,945
You're getting
a makeover for Larry King!
370
00:22:11,945 --> 00:22:14,047
Everything goes
through my publicist.
371
00:22:14,047 --> 00:22:15,782
How'd you get
a publicist, Andy?
372
00:22:15,782 --> 00:22:17,984
Anything to do
with coverage I gave you?
373
00:22:17,984 --> 00:22:22,388
I'm not saying no, Chuck.
It's just the deal
with CNN is exclusive.
374
00:22:22,388 --> 00:22:25,558
I think it's just TV, but we
might be talking about print.
375
00:22:25,558 --> 00:22:29,863
I can get a different leading
man. It's still my story.
376
00:22:29,863 --> 00:22:32,699
Larry's ready when you are.
Look into the camera.
377
00:22:32,699 --> 00:22:34,734
Wait, wait!
I'm not saying no, OK?
378
00:22:34,734 --> 00:22:37,036
It's that they're
talking about a book deal.
379
00:22:37,036 --> 00:22:40,306
Call my publicist.
I may need a ghost writer.
380
00:22:40,306 --> 00:22:44,043
And four, three, two, one...
381
00:22:45,478 --> 00:22:47,981
- [woman moaning on TV]
- [man] Well?
382
00:22:47,981 --> 00:22:50,383
And you want to release this?
383
00:22:50,383 --> 00:22:54,220
Oh, no, not "release."
It'll be "stolen from
our bedroom by a worker."
384
00:22:54,220 --> 00:22:56,689
Not a Mexican 'cause
we don't want to be racist.
385
00:22:56,689 --> 00:22:59,359
- [moaning]
- I have to be honest with you.
386
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,529
I don't think anybody really
cares to see this sex tape.
387
00:23:02,529 --> 00:23:05,164
These are the numbers
from our wedding special.
388
00:23:05,164 --> 00:23:08,468
- Check out the 18-34 demo.
- Boys love her.
389
00:23:08,468 --> 00:23:10,603
Every girl wants a little Brady.
390
00:23:10,603 --> 00:23:15,742
Plus this video totally takes
the image thing and just
smashes it on its head.
391
00:23:15,742 --> 00:23:18,311
Fast-forward to the part
where you choke me.
392
00:23:18,311 --> 00:23:20,346
I passed out for
at least ten seconds.
393
00:23:20,346 --> 00:23:24,584
It's way edgy. I wanna see
where you drip the
hot candle wax on my balls.
394
00:23:24,584 --> 00:23:26,219
[woman] Yield to your mistress!
395
00:23:26,219 --> 00:23:28,354
There it is!
396
00:23:28,354 --> 00:23:31,891
Let me think about this and
kick it around with my staff.
397
00:23:31,891 --> 00:23:33,059
- OK.
- OK.
398
00:23:33,059 --> 00:23:35,161
- I'll be in touch with Rema.
- Great.
399
00:23:35,161 --> 00:23:37,697
Thank you.
400
00:23:37,697 --> 00:23:40,533
- I'm sorry, Lucy.
- No, I'm glad you're here.
401
00:23:40,533 --> 00:23:42,702
We just finished.
402
00:23:42,702 --> 00:23:44,671
[moaning]
403
00:23:51,277 --> 00:23:54,147
- Who are they?
- A favor to a publicist.
404
00:23:55,815 --> 00:23:58,017
You look good.
405
00:23:58,017 --> 00:23:59,552
- You have work?
- I do.
406
00:23:59,552 --> 00:24:01,821
We're doing a crime story
in Walnut Valley.
407
00:24:01,821 --> 00:24:05,725
I need candids of the victim's
friends and family, school.
408
00:24:05,725 --> 00:24:07,794
You want me
to do civilian candids?
409
00:24:07,794 --> 00:24:10,163
- That's what
we're doing this week.
- OK.
410
00:24:11,831 --> 00:24:13,666
What?
411
00:24:13,666 --> 00:24:17,337
It's not really...
challenging.
412
00:24:17,337 --> 00:24:19,238
I think staying
on your meds
413
00:24:19,238 --> 00:24:22,775
and off the streets is
challenge enough for this week.
414
00:24:22,775 --> 00:24:25,278
[Don] She looks sweet.
415
00:24:25,278 --> 00:24:26,846
Sad.
416
00:24:26,846 --> 00:24:30,617
- Why? She's smiling.
- Sad smile.
417
00:24:30,617 --> 00:24:32,852
She reminds me of you
when you were younger.
418
00:24:34,954 --> 00:24:38,625
Wildcats, Wildcats,
fight, fight, win!
419
00:24:38,625 --> 00:24:42,528
Then we'd do this flip-switch
thing. It was cool.
420
00:24:43,930 --> 00:24:46,232
So, what did you
think of the story?
421
00:24:47,734 --> 00:24:48,868
I don't know.
422
00:24:51,170 --> 00:24:53,673
What? You can tell me.
423
00:24:53,673 --> 00:24:57,744
It was all about the crime
and her being pregnant.
424
00:24:57,744 --> 00:25:01,481
I mean, that's not her
whole life, who she was.
425
00:25:01,481 --> 00:25:03,983
It didn't mention anything
about her friends...
426
00:25:03,983 --> 00:25:07,186
I'm trying to get them
to let me do a piece on that,
427
00:25:07,186 --> 00:25:12,959
who she was and her social life,
baton-twirling partner, boys...
428
00:25:12,959 --> 00:25:15,061
No, she wasn't about boys.
429
00:25:15,061 --> 00:25:20,833
She was about cheerleading
and her friends and church.
430
00:25:20,833 --> 00:25:24,237
Maddy, the police
want to question
whoever got her pregnant.
431
00:25:24,237 --> 00:25:25,738
It's not their business.
432
00:25:25,738 --> 00:25:29,976
Well, it is.
It's too bad, but it is.
433
00:25:29,976 --> 00:25:32,011
- He didn't kill her.
- Who?
434
00:25:34,681 --> 00:25:38,051
I just wish people could
remember the good things.
435
00:25:38,051 --> 00:25:40,620
Us... us smiling like this.
436
00:25:44,791 --> 00:25:47,593
You know, I think
437
00:25:47,593 --> 00:25:50,329
that this would be
a great cover story.
438
00:25:52,632 --> 00:25:55,768
That'd be... Wow.
439
00:25:55,768 --> 00:25:57,804
And the more I talk to you,
440
00:25:57,804 --> 00:26:01,040
the more I think that this
was who she was, with you.
441
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,776
But my editor is insane
about cover stories.
442
00:26:03,776 --> 00:26:08,247
There needs to be more
information. It just
can't be background.
443
00:26:08,247 --> 00:26:11,784
I don't agree with it,
but that's her deal.
444
00:26:11,784 --> 00:26:16,122
So, if you know who Amber
was sleeping with...
445
00:26:19,192 --> 00:26:22,595
Look, Maddy, the police are
going to find out anyway.
446
00:26:22,595 --> 00:26:26,432
So if you tell me,
at least I can paint
the right picture for people.
447
00:26:29,702 --> 00:26:34,574
Amber did sort of have a
boyfriend. Tyler Kurta.
448
00:26:34,574 --> 00:26:38,611
She wasn't allowed to date,
so no one really knew.
449
00:27:06,239 --> 00:27:08,441
Hello?
450
00:27:11,911 --> 00:27:14,046
Is anyone out there?
451
00:27:36,135 --> 00:27:37,270
Are you lost?
452
00:27:39,672 --> 00:27:41,808
I think so.
453
00:27:43,309 --> 00:27:44,443
Come with me.
454
00:27:46,045 --> 00:27:47,814
[bell tolling]
455
00:27:56,189 --> 00:27:58,891
- It's quiet.
- Yes.
456
00:28:02,361 --> 00:28:06,432
- Can I take your picture?
- Of course.
457
00:28:06,432 --> 00:28:08,901
First, let's pray.
458
00:28:35,294 --> 00:28:37,864
[Lucy] The book's jammed
the next few issues.
459
00:28:37,864 --> 00:28:40,266
- But we'll see what we can do.
- Thank you.
460
00:28:44,003 --> 00:28:48,107
There you are. Shar, I'd like
you to meet our editor-in-chief,
Lucy Spiller.
461
00:28:48,107 --> 00:28:51,911
Lucy, this is Shar.
She's a very talented singer.
462
00:28:51,911 --> 00:28:56,449
- Oh, I'm sure she is.
- So the new issue's killing.
463
00:28:56,449 --> 00:28:59,218
Just got the newsstand numbers.
1.34.
464
00:28:59,218 --> 00:29:02,688
- Hate to say I told you so.
- That's her
favorite expression.
465
00:29:02,688 --> 00:29:04,891
Still exploiting
the dead girl next week?
466
00:29:04,891 --> 00:29:07,760
I don't know. Still exploiting
a live girl this week?
467
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,765
[laughs] Looks, brains and
venom. How do you stay single?
468
00:29:12,765 --> 00:29:15,668
- Oh, it's a battle.
- Yeah. Clearly.
469
00:29:15,668 --> 00:29:17,770
- Shall we?
- Nice to meet you.
470
00:29:22,675 --> 00:29:26,178
Well, her sister's in town,
so... yeah.
471
00:29:26,178 --> 00:29:27,780
Holt McLaren.
472
00:29:27,780 --> 00:29:30,416
Hi, I heard you closed a deal
473
00:29:30,416 --> 00:29:32,551
to star in Teddy Jick's
new Hard Charger movies.
474
00:29:32,551 --> 00:29:35,788
- I did.
- Got a few exclusive comments
475
00:29:35,788 --> 00:29:39,225
- for the magazine?
- Of course. Yeah.
Excuse me, fellas.
476
00:29:41,227 --> 00:29:43,329
Excuse me.
477
00:29:43,329 --> 00:29:47,233
Thank you. I don't know
how many times
I can tell the same stories
478
00:29:47,233 --> 00:29:50,636
to a bunch of strangers
who think they know me.
479
00:29:50,636 --> 00:29:53,306
Party vampires.
Get used to it.
480
00:29:53,306 --> 00:29:55,741
Could I get
another one, please?
481
00:29:57,243 --> 00:29:58,945
I hate these damn things.
482
00:29:58,945 --> 00:30:02,014
You've got to find a way
to make it amusing.
483
00:30:02,014 --> 00:30:06,252
I like find the people
who donated 500 bucks to get in
484
00:30:06,252 --> 00:30:09,021
but spent 10 grand on a dress.
485
00:30:09,021 --> 00:30:12,091
That one does sort of scream
"screw the homeless," right?
486
00:30:14,060 --> 00:30:17,229
I'm done here. I got a car out
back. You want a ride home?
487
00:30:19,098 --> 00:30:20,433
- Yeah.
- Let's go.
488
00:30:34,780 --> 00:30:39,151
The star of your own big action
franchise. How does it feel?
489
00:30:40,619 --> 00:30:44,924
The first one's not even made.
Who knows if it's gonna hit?
490
00:30:44,924 --> 00:30:48,728
It'll hit.
Look at you.
491
00:30:50,396 --> 00:30:54,400
That's what's going to
make you huge, you know that?
492
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:59,038
You're a really good actor,
but the thing that'll
make you pop
493
00:30:59,038 --> 00:31:02,408
is that you have the look
and you don't even know it.
494
00:31:02,408 --> 00:31:06,145
Well, if I pop, it's just
because of your magazine.
495
00:31:06,145 --> 00:31:07,513
That too.
496
00:31:14,086 --> 00:31:16,322
So I guess I owe you.
497
00:31:17,590 --> 00:31:19,792
Yeah, you do.
498
00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:21,560
Yeah.
499
00:31:25,798 --> 00:31:28,334
[soft dance music plays]
500
00:32:26,492 --> 00:32:28,127
Oh, God.
501
00:32:32,832 --> 00:32:34,500
[gasps]
502
00:32:45,911 --> 00:32:47,913
Oh, God.
503
00:32:52,518 --> 00:32:54,253
Are you OK?
504
00:32:58,290 --> 00:32:59,992
Yeah.
505
00:33:06,832 --> 00:33:08,534
Home sweet home.
506
00:33:09,735 --> 00:33:12,905
I can't come in.
Julia's expecting me.
507
00:33:12,905 --> 00:33:13,906
Did I invite you in?
508
00:33:17,009 --> 00:33:19,745
I'm sorry. No, no, no.
I'm so sorry.
509
00:33:19,745 --> 00:33:23,883
Don't apologize. I'm glad
we left at the same time.
510
00:33:23,883 --> 00:33:26,785
The car'll take you home.
511
00:33:26,785 --> 00:33:30,222
- Thank you.
- Anytime.
512
00:33:42,168 --> 00:33:43,302
Good night.
513
00:34:30,316 --> 00:34:33,185
Yo, I need you to pull over.
514
00:34:34,587 --> 00:34:35,888
Yo, pull over, please.
515
00:34:44,563 --> 00:34:48,067
[coughing, retching]
516
00:35:14,026 --> 00:35:18,063
No. Don't mind me,
I'm going to grab some shit
and see myself out.
517
00:35:18,063 --> 00:35:21,934
- I didn't hear you come in.
- Yeah, obviously.
518
00:35:21,934 --> 00:35:25,771
Please, babe, come on.
Come on, Holt, we were just...
519
00:35:25,771 --> 00:35:28,474
- Just let him go, who cares?
- Shut up. Holt...
520
00:35:29,775 --> 00:35:33,679
No, don't come near me!
Don't come near me!
521
00:35:33,679 --> 00:35:35,814
Baby, please, come on.
522
00:35:35,814 --> 00:35:38,550
- Listen to yourself begging...
- Get out!
523
00:35:38,550 --> 00:35:40,219
Now! Out!
524
00:35:43,022 --> 00:35:45,057
Honey, what are you doing?
525
00:35:45,057 --> 00:35:47,226
Really got her on a leash,
don't you?
526
00:35:47,226 --> 00:35:50,195
- Baby, nothing happened!
- No! I don't want to hear it.
527
00:35:50,195 --> 00:35:53,299
I'm done with your shit!
I am. I'm done!
528
00:35:53,299 --> 00:35:56,368
No! No!
Nothing really happened!
529
00:35:56,368 --> 00:35:59,271
All right?
And it didn't mean anything!
530
00:35:59,271 --> 00:36:02,875
I mean, these pills!
And the accident!
531
00:36:02,875 --> 00:36:05,978
You did Johnny Gage on your
movie long before the accident.
532
00:36:05,978 --> 00:36:10,249
- No, I didn't.
- I saw the tape!
533
00:36:10,249 --> 00:36:12,217
- I saw it!
- What?
534
00:36:12,217 --> 00:36:16,855
Johnny giving it to you
from behind in some hotel
or some shit?
535
00:36:16,855 --> 00:36:18,824
Yeah.
536
00:36:19,758 --> 00:36:21,527
I saw the tape months ago!
537
00:36:23,529 --> 00:36:28,434
Jesus. You knew someone
had a sex tape on me
and you didn't tell me?
538
00:36:28,434 --> 00:36:31,203
What kind of a person are you?
539
00:36:32,604 --> 00:36:35,541
I've been asking the same thing
about you for a long time.
540
00:36:49,221 --> 00:36:53,025
[boy] Look, I loved Amber.
I'd never do anything
to hurt her.
541
00:36:54,460 --> 00:36:56,328
The police are going
to believe that?
542
00:36:56,328 --> 00:37:00,099
This is your chance to get out
your side of the story.
543
00:37:00,099 --> 00:37:03,769
We never did anything wrong.
We're good Christians,
both of us.
544
00:37:05,371 --> 00:37:09,241
- She was pregnant, Tyler.
- That's not possible.
545
00:37:09,241 --> 00:37:11,643
We took the "True Love Waits"
chastity pledge.
546
00:37:11,643 --> 00:37:13,679
- Everyone at church does.
- Tyler.
547
00:37:13,679 --> 00:37:18,550
Look, we never had sex.
Not "sex" sex.
548
00:37:18,550 --> 00:37:21,453
We just...
549
00:37:21,453 --> 00:37:24,523
Look, there's no way
I got Amber pregnant, OK?
550
00:37:24,523 --> 00:37:27,059
Her virginity
was sacred to both of us.
551
00:37:28,427 --> 00:37:30,796
That's why we agreed
I'd only put it in her butt.
552
00:37:39,838 --> 00:37:43,342
- There are no shots
of the boyfriend.
- He's her minister.
553
00:37:43,342 --> 00:37:45,711
OK, Don, I need shots
of the boyfriend.
554
00:37:47,012 --> 00:37:48,013
I can do that.
555
00:37:56,922 --> 00:37:58,457
You look different.
556
00:38:00,492 --> 00:38:01,994
I do?
557
00:38:01,994 --> 00:38:05,030
Your hands are relaxed
and your eyes are soft.
558
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,270
These shots are useless. I need
you to go back and get more.
559
00:38:11,270 --> 00:38:15,107
Less pious minister,
more ass-banging boyfriend.
560
00:38:15,107 --> 00:38:16,408
OK.
561
00:38:19,845 --> 00:38:22,481
And grab something to eat.
562
00:38:29,087 --> 00:38:31,924
Peanut butter and banana
on the croissant.
563
00:38:31,924 --> 00:38:34,693
Mmm...
564
00:38:34,693 --> 00:38:36,862
I've seen your stuff
in a gallery, right?
565
00:38:36,862 --> 00:38:41,500
No. No. This is...
this is just for me.
566
00:38:43,769 --> 00:38:46,672
That's too bad.
They're beautiful.
567
00:39:13,165 --> 00:39:15,167
Where'd you go?
568
00:39:15,167 --> 00:39:17,402
Just out driving.
569
00:39:20,739 --> 00:39:23,909
Did you expect everything
to be different
when you got back here?
570
00:39:40,192 --> 00:39:41,894
What happened to us?
571
00:39:47,299 --> 00:39:48,634
I don't know.
572
00:39:50,903 --> 00:39:52,571
Other things just took over.
573
00:39:55,407 --> 00:39:57,075
How do we go back?
574
00:40:02,314 --> 00:40:06,418
I wish we could just
get out of here, you know?
575
00:40:08,220 --> 00:40:11,256
Go someplace
where nobody knows us.
576
00:40:14,393 --> 00:40:15,427
Where?
577
00:40:22,167 --> 00:40:23,268
I don't know.
578
00:40:27,005 --> 00:40:31,109
These stories always
need great characters,
a hero making the case.
579
00:40:31,109 --> 00:40:35,080
- Could be the medical examiner.
- You can drop the sales pitch.
580
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:39,251
National Enquirer's already
offered me 10 grand
for a first look at my report.
581
00:40:40,185 --> 00:40:42,087
So, what's it really worth?
582
00:40:42,087 --> 00:40:47,192
This small town's just not as
quaint as it used to be, is it?
583
00:40:47,192 --> 00:40:51,096
Twenty grand, cash, and that's
exclusive. No one else sees it.
584
00:40:51,096 --> 00:40:53,799
OK.
585
00:40:56,201 --> 00:41:00,238
- Better be worth it.
- Oh, it is.
586
00:41:00,238 --> 00:41:03,508
We've ID'd the father
of the victim's unborn baby.
587
00:41:05,644 --> 00:41:07,245
My God.
588
00:41:09,114 --> 00:41:12,918
[Lucy] God bless Don Konkey.
He had the right shots
all along.
589
00:41:12,918 --> 00:41:15,787
- What do you think?
- I think it's not accurate.
590
00:41:15,787 --> 00:41:17,589
Excuse me?
591
00:41:17,589 --> 00:41:19,524
It implies he killed the girl.
592
00:41:19,524 --> 00:41:23,629
He's her minister. He got her
pregnant. She's murdered.
593
00:41:23,629 --> 00:41:25,797
Readers will draw their
own conclusions.
594
00:41:25,797 --> 00:41:28,233
Off a headline that reads
"He Did It"?
595
00:41:28,233 --> 00:41:29,968
It refers to
getting her pregnant.
596
00:41:29,968 --> 00:41:34,139
Oh, please. The cover's
a lie and you know it.
597
00:41:34,139 --> 00:41:37,909
The cover is a sales tool.
The story is inside,
and it's accurate.
598
00:41:37,909 --> 00:41:41,013
This is why I don't
do this anymore.
I get sent in to get facts,
599
00:41:41,013 --> 00:41:43,448
they get twisted around
to make the cover work.
600
00:41:43,448 --> 00:41:46,284
The guy is a child-violating
asshole. That is fact.
601
00:41:46,284 --> 00:41:51,023
You can keep going after
everyone in the world,
expose everyone else's secrets,
602
00:41:51,023 --> 00:41:52,858
it's not gonna
get you what you want.
603
00:41:52,858 --> 00:41:55,761
It's not going to tell you
why your father killed himself.
604
00:41:55,761 --> 00:41:57,863
Get out! Drunk!
605
00:41:59,231 --> 00:42:02,934
The wall is locked.
Get it to press.
606
00:42:02,934 --> 00:42:06,138
[reporter] Reverend Sweet
was arrested today
for the murder
607
00:42:06,138 --> 00:42:09,941
of 15-year-old Amber Carmichael
in Walnut Valley, California.
608
00:42:09,941 --> 00:42:13,412
Dirt Now's new issue says
that according
to coroner's report,
609
00:42:13,412 --> 00:42:16,715
Reverend Sweet was the father
of the victim's unborn child.
610
00:42:16,715 --> 00:42:19,284
Oh, my God, Willa.
Oh, my God.
611
00:42:19,284 --> 00:42:21,687
I got here as fast as I could.
Are you OK?
612
00:42:21,687 --> 00:42:25,624
Who told you
my father killed Amber?
613
00:42:25,624 --> 00:42:29,127
I know you must be really
freaked seeing your father
get arrested...
614
00:42:29,127 --> 00:42:33,498
It's in your magazine!
"He Did It!" He didn't do it!
615
00:42:33,498 --> 00:42:36,635
Maddy, your father
got Amber pregnant...
616
00:42:36,635 --> 00:42:40,005
I know, but he
didn't kill her!
617
00:42:40,005 --> 00:42:43,608
It's all wrong! I loved him!
618
00:42:43,608 --> 00:42:47,145
She seduced him!
She preyed on him!
619
00:42:47,145 --> 00:42:50,215
- It was her!
- What?
620
00:42:52,384 --> 00:42:57,422
- Look, it's OK, you can...
- It's not OK! He's my father.
621
00:42:57,422 --> 00:42:59,624
He loved me, not her.
622
00:42:59,624 --> 00:43:02,828
What we had was ours. Sacred.
623
00:43:02,828 --> 00:43:08,366
Ours and God's and no one
else's. That's what he said.
624
00:43:08,366 --> 00:43:12,904
When she told me she was going
to have his baby, I just...
625
00:43:12,904 --> 00:43:14,806
I had to kill her.
626
00:43:17,242 --> 00:43:22,414
I did. He wasn't supposed
to be with anyone but me!
627
00:43:22,414 --> 00:43:26,351
That was our promise!
So I killed her.
628
00:43:26,351 --> 00:43:30,021
I did it. Not Daddy.
629
00:43:30,021 --> 00:43:32,924
This should be me on the cover.
630
00:43:32,924 --> 00:43:34,626
Me.
631
00:43:46,872 --> 00:43:51,176
I was pretty shocked when he
told me, but he's my husband.
632
00:43:51,176 --> 00:43:53,345
I love him forever, you know?
633
00:43:55,380 --> 00:43:59,885
I have to be true
to who I am inside. That's what
Adrianne allows me to do.
634
00:44:01,953 --> 00:44:03,789
I've started
the hormone therapy,
635
00:44:03,789 --> 00:44:06,858
and if it all goes well,
I should be "Christina" by May.
636
00:44:06,858 --> 00:44:08,493
[applause]
