1
00:00:00,083 --> 00:00:01,084
Previously on Dirt:
2
00:00:01,210 --> 00:00:03,253
I thought we weren't talking.
3
00:00:03,420 --> 00:00:06,590
We're not.
I'm just calling to congratulate you.
4
00:00:08,133 --> 00:00:09,927
What, is this an interview?
5
00:00:10,385 --> 00:00:13,764
How's Holt? On the phone, just now.
6
00:00:14,473 --> 00:00:17,226
- How do you know I was talking to Holt?
- Body language.
7
00:00:17,351 --> 00:00:18,602
I wasn't doing anything. OK.
8
00:00:20,062 --> 00:00:22,231
How are you feeling today, Don?
9
00:00:22,356 --> 00:00:24,274
- Weird.
- "Weird" how?
10
00:00:24,441 --> 00:00:26,944
Because I'm starting to feel normal.
11
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:29,863
Well, we'll keep an eye
on those feelings of normalcy.
12
00:00:29,988 --> 00:00:32,824
- Lucy, should I be following you...
- That one's yours.
13
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:35,661
- Excuse me, that is my desk!
- I know.
14
00:00:36,286 --> 00:00:40,916
And you're here to convince me
to buy your magazine.
15
00:00:41,041 --> 00:00:45,045
But I must know,
what's in it for Brent Barrow?
16
00:00:47,798 --> 00:00:48,799
May I?
17
00:00:48,966 --> 00:00:52,135
Your buzzards and my buzzards should
have the principles hammered out
18
00:00:52,302 --> 00:00:56,348
by the end of the week.
I insist we celebrate. Ciao.
19
00:01:07,943 --> 00:01:11,780
You're watching the stars
like they're animals in a zoo.
20
00:01:12,030 --> 00:01:13,407
You don't have to work tonight, Lucy.
21
00:01:13,532 --> 00:01:16,743
You're a studio executive.
If you're working, I'm working.
22
00:01:16,868 --> 00:01:19,830
Look at these people.
If there was any more ass kissing,
23
00:01:19,997 --> 00:01:21,999
they'd be serving ChapStick
with the champagne.
24
00:01:22,124 --> 00:01:24,376
And I didn't invite you here
for a story either.
25
00:01:24,501 --> 00:01:26,962
- Really.
- Really. I wanted to see you.
26
00:01:27,087 --> 00:01:30,090
- At your studio's party.
- So I wanted to impress you.
27
00:01:30,215 --> 00:01:33,969
- All right.
- My divorce is final as of Friday.
28
00:01:34,094 --> 00:01:35,887
Starlets, beware.
29
00:01:37,264 --> 00:01:39,683
Actually, I was thinking of gorgeous,
30
00:01:39,808 --> 00:01:42,185
smart, successful magazine editors.
31
00:01:42,311 --> 00:01:44,688
Well, I'll try to introduce you to some.
32
00:01:44,855 --> 00:01:48,191
Oh, come on, you and I had something,
maybe the timing was off, but...
33
00:01:48,317 --> 00:01:51,695
That's it, the timing. Right.
34
00:01:51,862 --> 00:01:54,114
So who is Dark Guardian?
35
00:01:56,658 --> 00:01:59,247
- What do I get if I tell you?
- It depends on how good it is.
36
00:01:59,328 --> 00:02:00,245
- It's really good.
- OK.
37
00:02:00,329 --> 00:02:01,955
Yeah, why don't you
take a look over my shoulder?
38
00:02:02,039 --> 00:02:04,333
Black blazer, right by the bar.
39
00:02:06,043 --> 00:02:07,044
Paul Trisko?
40
00:02:07,210 --> 00:02:09,880
Our biggest TV cop is about
to become our biggest movie star.
41
00:02:10,047 --> 00:02:11,048
Wow.
42
00:02:11,214 --> 00:02:12,924
Looks like it might just
be my night tonight.
43
00:02:13,050 --> 00:02:17,012
That's a pretty good cover,
but the night's still young.
44
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:25,020
O'Connor. God, what a prick.
45
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,898
You really like sleeping alone?
46
00:02:32,694 --> 00:02:35,364
Get a picture of Paul Trisko
next to that poster.
47
00:02:35,489 --> 00:02:38,575
OK. That Ted Coleman, he likes you.
48
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,373
- Hi.
- How are you?
49
00:02:44,498 --> 00:02:47,793
- Good. Nice to see you.
- It's good to see you.
50
00:02:47,918 --> 00:02:51,129
Lucy, this is Jasmine Ford.
Jasmine, this is Lucy Spiller.
51
00:02:51,254 --> 00:02:53,840
- We've met. How are you, Lucy?
- Great. Thank you.
52
00:02:53,965 --> 00:02:56,635
Lucy covered me taking care
of my mom after her heart attack.
53
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,096
I wish I could say
it was totally altruistic,
54
00:02:59,221 --> 00:03:01,556
but she was up for an Academy Award.
55
00:03:03,225 --> 00:03:06,144
- How are you, Holt?
- Good.
56
00:03:06,269 --> 00:03:09,940
Good. You know, we just
started rehearsing on Fear Tactic. So...
57
00:03:10,065 --> 00:03:11,608
I think you guys are going
to be good together.
58
00:03:11,775 --> 00:03:14,611
How about a cover? Me and Holt.
59
00:03:14,778 --> 00:03:17,614
I don't know, make something up.
Like we're the hottest couple in town.
60
00:03:17,781 --> 00:03:21,159
- I'll think about it.
- If my publicist gives you problems,
61
00:03:21,284 --> 00:03:26,581
just call me directly. Holt,
Darren Aronofsky, I have to say hi.
62
00:03:26,707 --> 00:03:29,251
- Good to see you, Lucy.
- You, too.
63
00:03:36,341 --> 00:03:38,802
Ted Coleman, he's staring at you.
64
00:03:40,262 --> 00:03:42,097
I told you he likes you.
65
00:03:45,892 --> 00:03:49,938
- It's so good to see you, Lucy.
- Oh, it's good to see you, Ted.
66
00:03:58,780 --> 00:04:00,365
I got to take this.
67
00:04:02,117 --> 00:04:03,869
Coleman.
68
00:04:03,994 --> 00:04:06,204
Maybe we are meant to be together.
69
00:04:06,329 --> 00:04:07,956
Yeah.
70
00:04:10,125 --> 00:04:11,918
What's going on?
71
00:04:13,837 --> 00:04:15,630
Are you shitting me?
72
00:04:18,175 --> 00:04:20,677
All right, you shouldn't be calling me.
73
00:04:20,844 --> 00:04:22,512
This one goes way
higher up the pay grade.
74
00:04:22,679 --> 00:04:24,806
I don't even want to know about this.
75
00:04:25,891 --> 00:04:29,853
No, don't even say another word.
No, honestly, just handle it. OK, bye.
76
00:04:48,997 --> 00:04:51,750
- Did you miss me?
- So much.
77
00:05:06,056 --> 00:05:09,017
Cellulite, plastic surgery,
hero pets, these are not covers.
78
00:05:09,142 --> 00:05:11,978
- It was a slow week!
- Not in Hollywood it wasn't.
79
00:05:12,103 --> 00:05:14,314
Dark Guardian's being
played by Paul Trisko.
80
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:17,901
- Are you serious?
- Paul Trisko? He's the guy on...
81
00:05:18,026 --> 00:05:21,696
Do you watch TV? He's a cop,
the show's called The Precinct.
82
00:05:21,822 --> 00:05:24,282
- They're releasing his name next week.
- So we run it this week.
83
00:05:24,407 --> 00:05:27,244
- No, we've got to get the costume!
- What?
84
00:05:27,369 --> 00:05:28,954
All right, maybe
I'm slightly a comic book nut,
85
00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:32,290
but it's not just about the actor,
it's what he wears.
86
00:05:32,415 --> 00:05:33,917
Every boy in the world wants to see it.
87
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,336
Someone's got news judgment.
Where is the costume?
88
00:05:36,461 --> 00:05:39,297
Well, it won't be at the studio.
They'll be making it in secret.
89
00:05:39,381 --> 00:05:40,590
I'll get Don on it.
90
00:05:42,425 --> 00:05:44,177
- Hey, McPherson.
- Yeah.
91
00:05:44,302 --> 00:05:47,097
- Did you have that call traced?
- Yeah, it's a tape library
92
00:05:47,222 --> 00:05:49,599
for the TV show Snare a Cyber Predator.
93
00:05:49,724 --> 00:05:53,019
Oh, child molesters, TV, I like it.
94
00:05:53,144 --> 00:05:55,188
So who made this mysterious
phone call last night?
95
00:05:55,313 --> 00:05:58,275
- Someone who stays out of the story.
- Yeah, I just don't get it.
96
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,236
They talk to little kids online,
don't these morons ever think that
97
00:06:01,361 --> 00:06:04,030
they could be talking
to a cop or like a TV show?
98
00:06:04,155 --> 00:06:07,033
Well, apparently not.
Find out what that call was about.
99
00:06:08,118 --> 00:06:10,620
The Cyber Predator blogs are hot.
100
00:06:10,787 --> 00:06:13,623
- Excuse me?
- The TV show, Snare a Cyber Predator.
101
00:06:13,748 --> 00:06:16,501
The blogs are full of rumors. You know,
one of them said they went online
102
00:06:16,626 --> 00:06:20,463
with a staffer posing as 18,
but on the air said she was 15.
103
00:06:21,131 --> 00:06:22,757
How do you know about my story?
104
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:26,303
Well, in fairness to me, you really
should minimize your browser.
105
00:06:26,469 --> 00:06:29,639
- I did minimize it.
- Excuse me.
106
00:06:29,764 --> 00:06:32,434
- You want to horn in on this.
- You're right, I'm sorry.
107
00:06:32,559 --> 00:06:35,312
I was going to say I have a friend who
works at the show, but you know what?
108
00:06:35,604 --> 00:06:37,689
- It's your story.
- Farber!
109
00:06:37,814 --> 00:06:40,108
- What?
- I know that you're eerily good at it,
110
00:06:40,233 --> 00:06:42,986
- but don't play stupid. Who is he?
- College roommate.
111
00:06:44,821 --> 00:06:48,700
God. All right. On the byline,
my name goes first. Call him.
112
00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:51,661
You know what?
I'm not sure I want to exploit him.
113
00:06:51,786 --> 00:06:55,665
Exploit? He's performing a public
service by exposing hypocrisy
114
00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:58,543
- in the news business.
- Do you believe your own bullshit?
115
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:00,128
No.
116
00:07:01,671 --> 00:07:05,342
My girlfriend dumped me.
She says I write garbage for a living.
117
00:07:06,468 --> 00:07:08,678
Are we sharing now?
118
00:07:08,803 --> 00:07:11,848
The reason that Liz dumped you
is because you work too many nights.
119
00:07:11,973 --> 00:07:16,019
In my defense, all the women I've slept
with say I give them multiple orgasms.
120
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:20,857
OK, well, as far as non sequiturs go,
not bad.
121
00:07:20,982 --> 00:07:22,984
- Who are you calling?
- Studio security guy.
122
00:07:23,109 --> 00:07:26,237
I've been slipping him cash
and premiere tickets for a year.
123
00:07:26,363 --> 00:07:29,032
Hey, how did you
like that Radiohead concert?
124
00:07:32,035 --> 00:07:34,329
Hey, sweetie.
125
00:07:35,997 --> 00:07:38,375
You look gorgeous. How are you doing?
126
00:07:39,501 --> 00:07:41,115
You know what?
I'm not supposed to tell you this,
127
00:07:41,215 --> 00:07:44,089
but you know those shoes
that you wanted the other day?
128
00:07:44,214 --> 00:07:47,050
Mom's probably going to buy them
for you for your next...
129
00:07:52,722 --> 00:07:55,225
You sneaky little shit.
Who do you work for?
130
00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:57,394
- Stay away from me!
- I'm sorry, Mr. Trisko.
131
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:58,979
- I'm not stalking you.
- Listen to me.
132
00:07:59,062 --> 00:08:01,523
You follow me one more time, I'm going
to put your ass in a car accident,
133
00:08:01,606 --> 00:08:04,067
and you'll end up dead,
you understand me? You understand me?!
134
00:08:04,234 --> 00:08:06,277
Excuse me, sir,
you're frightening your daughter.
135
00:08:10,073 --> 00:08:11,825
Goddamn it!
136
00:08:16,538 --> 00:08:20,625
The man who comes to the door thinks
he's meeting a 13-year-old girl for sex.
137
00:08:20,875 --> 00:08:22,752
Here he comes now.
138
00:08:23,086 --> 00:08:25,338
Hi, Richard. I'm Jonathan.
139
00:08:25,797 --> 00:08:27,799
Come on over here.
Let's have a little chat.
140
00:08:27,924 --> 00:08:30,427
- He's creepy.
- What do you have in the bag?
141
00:08:31,177 --> 00:08:33,054
You have some condoms?
142
00:08:35,223 --> 00:08:38,309
It says in your chat transcript
that you'd bring some condoms.
143
00:08:38,893 --> 00:08:40,478
You're wondering who I am.
144
00:08:40,603 --> 00:08:43,231
- McPherson.
- Have you ever seen a TV show called...
145
00:08:43,356 --> 00:08:44,941
What?
146
00:08:45,108 --> 00:08:49,446
General counsel for everything?
Thank you.
147
00:08:49,612 --> 00:08:50,822
Progress?
148
00:08:50,947 --> 00:08:54,451
Yeah, I got a list from the studio
security of everybody who showed up
149
00:08:54,576 --> 00:08:56,786
- after you got that call last night.
- That call didn't happen.
150
00:08:56,911 --> 00:08:58,580
- Right.
- It's a total of five people.
151
00:09:00,498 --> 00:09:03,668
McPherson! Sharing a story?
152
00:09:04,127 --> 00:09:06,129
If I didn't have Human Resources
breathing down my neck,
153
00:09:06,254 --> 00:09:08,590
I'd say you were blowing him.
Who were the five?
154
00:09:08,715 --> 00:09:11,468
Well, I got Jonathan Chubb's manager
and agent and a staff lawyer,
155
00:09:11,593 --> 00:09:14,054
- and she got...
- General counsel for the entire studio
156
00:09:14,179 --> 00:09:15,764
- and the head of the studio.
- O'Connor?
157
00:09:16,222 --> 00:09:18,058
Farber's college roommate works there.
158
00:09:18,183 --> 00:09:21,978
But Farber's feeling
a little bit guilty about using him.
159
00:09:22,103 --> 00:09:25,315
- That is absolutely not true.
- Good thing.
160
00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:30,278
Thank you. I appreciate that,
making me look like a total asshole.
161
00:09:30,403 --> 00:09:32,113
- You're welcome.
- Thanks.
162
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,161
- Jasmine! Jasmine, over here!
- Holt! Holt!
163
00:09:38,286 --> 00:09:40,330
Hey, Jasmine! Jasmine!
164
00:09:40,497 --> 00:09:42,499
Hi, are you two a couple?
165
00:09:43,374 --> 00:09:46,586
We're not here to talk about ourselves.
We're here to support Green Earth,
166
00:09:46,711 --> 00:09:48,505
a cause we both strongly believe in.
167
00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:51,591
Holt, do you think
the Jews run Hollywood?
168
00:09:52,383 --> 00:09:55,762
What? What are you talking about?
Man, come on.
169
00:09:55,887 --> 00:09:59,682
The Jews. You know, your dad.
Do you agree with his opinions?
170
00:10:00,892 --> 00:10:05,230
Well, it's... it's never been my belief,
you know, it never has.
171
00:10:05,355 --> 00:10:08,274
I don't think any one group
runs Hollywood, you know,
172
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:09,734
whatever the hell that means. So...
173
00:10:09,859 --> 00:10:12,654
Look, we're here for a good cause,
so we need to get inside.
174
00:10:12,779 --> 00:10:16,699
Holt McLaren facing tough questions
at the Green Earth charity event.
175
00:10:17,033 --> 00:10:19,702
The actor's father appeared
on a Los Angeles talk show
176
00:10:19,828 --> 00:10:22,539
announcing his new book, God Is White.
177
00:10:22,705 --> 00:10:24,833
I truly believe Hollywood's bad
for our country.
178
00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:26,876
It's eating away at our morals,
179
00:10:27,001 --> 00:10:30,296
and, well, everybody knows it's run
by homosexuals and liberals
180
00:10:30,421 --> 00:10:34,050
and other elements.
Now, my son is a fine actor,
181
00:10:34,217 --> 00:10:38,263
but I believe that he's afraid
to talk about what's right.
182
00:10:38,388 --> 00:10:41,432
Get the father in for an interview and
call Holt's publicist as a courtesy.
183
00:10:41,558 --> 00:10:43,643
What's that look on your face?
Are you grinning?
184
00:10:43,768 --> 00:10:45,895
Well, we've got two great stories
and Holt's dad is a Nazi.
185
00:10:46,062 --> 00:10:47,647
I mean, what could be better?
186
00:10:53,069 --> 00:10:56,865
You dudes from Dirt.
First Farber, now you.
187
00:10:56,990 --> 00:10:59,117
I looked you up.
188
00:10:59,242 --> 00:11:02,245
You're schizophrenic, you ran naked
across your college quad screaming,
189
00:11:02,412 --> 00:11:03,746
"I am a tomato."
190
00:11:03,872 --> 00:11:07,458
I'm thinking if you'd had a head of
lettuce you could've been a salad.
191
00:11:08,877 --> 00:11:12,088
That's not funny. And it's not true.
192
00:11:12,213 --> 00:11:14,591
- Sorry.
- Medical records are supposed
193
00:11:14,757 --> 00:11:16,926
- to be private.
- Not to employment agencies, Don.
194
00:11:17,051 --> 00:11:20,054
I am the peeping eyes
of corporate America.
195
00:11:20,430 --> 00:11:22,056
Plus, you got yourself
a double-standard.
196
00:11:22,182 --> 00:11:25,268
You don't want me to snoop on you, but
you want me to do it on other people.
197
00:11:25,852 --> 00:11:28,479
Hypocritical, maybe? Little bit?
198
00:11:28,646 --> 00:11:30,899
Yeah, you're right.
199
00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:35,945
I need wardrobe personnel
at Sunset Tower Studios.
200
00:11:36,070 --> 00:11:37,989
OK.
201
00:11:40,116 --> 00:11:43,119
OK, here's one:
gambling problem, massively in debt.
202
00:11:43,244 --> 00:11:44,287
No.
203
00:11:45,788 --> 00:11:46,998
- Crackhead.
- No.
204
00:11:49,709 --> 00:11:52,712
- Sick child.
- Well, that sounds good.
205
00:11:52,921 --> 00:11:56,049
Karpova, Anna:
seamstress at Sunset Tower Studios.
206
00:11:56,299 --> 00:11:58,676
Kid's got some
crazy rare form of cancer,
207
00:11:58,968 --> 00:12:00,637
insurance doesn't cover everything.
208
00:12:02,972 --> 00:12:04,682
My cat had cancer.
209
00:12:04,807 --> 00:12:06,476
- Kitten?
- Cat.
210
00:12:06,643 --> 00:12:07,644
Yeah...
211
00:12:21,699 --> 00:12:24,035
- Anna?
- Who are you? Do I know you?
212
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,248
I'm Don Konkey.
Your son's name is Martin.
213
00:12:28,373 --> 00:12:30,208
He has cancer.
214
00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:33,461
- He needs surgery. You need money.
- How do you know what my son has?
215
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:36,172
I'm sorry. I read a file.
216
00:12:36,339 --> 00:12:38,466
I need to know where they make
the Dark Guardian costume.
217
00:12:38,591 --> 00:12:42,220
- The movie costume?
- I'll give you a lot of money.
218
00:12:42,345 --> 00:12:44,055
- Why would you pay for that?
- I don't know.
219
00:12:44,138 --> 00:12:47,433
- People want to know things.
- God will punish me for that.
220
00:12:47,558 --> 00:12:52,188
No, it's in the Bible. "Money answereth
all things." Ecclesiastes 10:19.
221
00:12:52,313 --> 00:12:54,941
"We have money for what we want,
we cannot tell who put it in our hands."
222
00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:57,652
Genesis 43:22.
"We may spend that money
223
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:00,655
for whatever our hearts desire in the
presence of the Lord and rejoice."
224
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:04,158
- Deuteronomy 14:26.
- Are you crazy?
225
00:13:04,284 --> 00:13:07,912
Yeah, but that's not important.
Miracles aren't mystery.
226
00:13:08,371 --> 00:13:10,581
We see the hand of God. He wants us to.
227
00:13:14,419 --> 00:13:17,005
Twenty thousand for the Dark Guardian.
228
00:13:20,008 --> 00:13:21,718
I don't know.
229
00:13:29,309 --> 00:13:31,769
Mr. Proteau's office just called.
He's the new owner.
230
00:13:31,894 --> 00:13:34,689
He wants to meet you tomorrow
at his hotel for lunch.
231
00:13:34,814 --> 00:13:36,649
You do have lunch
with your mother, though.
232
00:13:36,774 --> 00:13:39,944
Cancel my mother. Hey, Farber. Did you
call your friend at Cyber Predator?
233
00:13:40,069 --> 00:13:42,071
Yeah, I called him.
I'm having dinner with him.
234
00:13:42,238 --> 00:13:44,615
All right, it's not exploitation,
it's journalism.
235
00:13:45,575 --> 00:13:49,704
Hey, Don. Oh, my God, these are great.
236
00:13:49,871 --> 00:13:53,041
Wow. Could Sharlee
possibly look any worse?
237
00:13:53,458 --> 00:13:56,878
Look at that dress.
I mean, are you kidding?
238
00:13:57,003 --> 00:13:59,088
I couldn't give that away
at a yard sale.
239
00:13:59,213 --> 00:14:02,467
- I bought it for her as a gift.
- I said cover her, not marry her.
240
00:14:02,592 --> 00:14:05,386
- Well, she's lonely.
- Yeah, well, we're all lonely, Don.
241
00:14:05,511 --> 00:14:08,181
- It's the human condition.
- I know it's hard for you to think
242
00:14:08,306 --> 00:14:10,058
of her as another person.
243
00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:11,934
No, I just don't want
to see you get hurt, honey.
244
00:14:12,101 --> 00:14:15,355
Yeah, well, we all get hurt, Lucy,
it's the human condition.
245
00:14:17,357 --> 00:14:20,610
- I need 20 thousand.
- Twenty thousand?
246
00:14:20,777 --> 00:14:23,112
Yeah, God wants her to have the money.
247
00:14:23,237 --> 00:14:26,699
- Who, Don?
- Anna, she's my contact.
248
00:14:26,824 --> 00:14:28,785
All right, well, God's not
talking to you directly, right?
249
00:14:28,951 --> 00:14:30,953
You're not hearing voices?
250
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,580
No, don't worry, Lucy. I'm fine.
251
00:14:32,705 --> 00:14:35,166
Because if your medicine's not working,
you know you have to tell me.
252
00:14:35,291 --> 00:14:37,502
Yeah. God is not talking to me.
253
00:14:37,627 --> 00:14:39,754
- But He did ask for 20 grand.
- Yeah.
254
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:42,173
- All right.
- I'll get the shot, though.
255
00:14:42,298 --> 00:14:44,175
Hey, what the hell is this about?
256
00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:47,261
I turn on the TV and find out
you promised him a cover?
257
00:14:47,387 --> 00:14:48,846
Really, are you trying
to make this worse?
258
00:14:48,971 --> 00:14:50,807
We didn't promise a cover.
259
00:14:50,932 --> 00:14:53,267
But do you want this getting out
to the competition? Because it will.
260
00:14:53,351 --> 00:14:56,521
And you'll be Photoshopped
with a swastika in front of you.
261
00:14:56,646 --> 00:14:57,855
It'll be great for your career.
262
00:14:59,816 --> 00:15:02,235
You're kidding me, right?
263
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,655
- He's here? I'm going to talk to him.
- Oh, God.
264
00:15:07,156 --> 00:15:08,533
- The whole... the general...
- Hey, Pop.
265
00:15:08,699 --> 00:15:11,411
Well, hey, son! You're looking good.
266
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:15,665
Glad you got rid of that earring.
Made you look like a faggot.
267
00:15:15,790 --> 00:15:19,710
Here we go with the "faggot" thing
again, huh? What do you want?
268
00:15:21,003 --> 00:15:23,923
What any father wants.
To protect my child.
269
00:15:24,048 --> 00:15:27,260
We could talk if you'd answer
the phone when your old man calls.
270
00:15:27,385 --> 00:15:29,387
Holt, let him do the interview.
271
00:15:29,512 --> 00:15:32,014
You let all these people
tell you what to do.
272
00:15:33,099 --> 00:15:34,976
You know who really
runs Hollywood, Holt.
273
00:15:35,101 --> 00:15:37,979
- For godssakes, why don't you...
- For God? That's smart.
274
00:15:38,104 --> 00:15:41,190
That's a laugh. You save
your spine for special occasions?
275
00:15:41,315 --> 00:15:43,025
Pull it out when your old man's in town?
276
00:15:43,818 --> 00:15:45,194
- My old man?
- Yeah.
277
00:15:45,361 --> 00:15:48,030
You're not my old man. Come on,
you're just some guy who cruised in
278
00:15:48,156 --> 00:15:51,200
and out of our lives when everyone else
was sick of you hanging around.
279
00:15:51,325 --> 00:15:55,329
- Holt, come on, let's go.
- No, can you give us a second here?
280
00:15:55,997 --> 00:15:57,415
OK.
281
00:16:06,424 --> 00:16:09,927
What do you want?
How much is it going to take?
282
00:16:13,222 --> 00:16:15,183
I don't want your Hollywood money.
283
00:16:16,309 --> 00:16:18,603
You know what I'd do with it?
284
00:16:18,728 --> 00:16:20,521
I'd drink it,
285
00:16:20,646 --> 00:16:23,232
and then I'd piss it out when I'm done.
286
00:16:24,901 --> 00:16:26,277
Go home.
287
00:16:29,322 --> 00:16:32,325
I got something to say.
And I'm gonna say it.
288
00:16:33,701 --> 00:16:36,078
People want to hear my brand of truth.
289
00:16:38,831 --> 00:16:40,625
Well, I don't, all right?
290
00:16:45,421 --> 00:16:48,174
- That guy's a sociopath. It scares me.
- Can I talk to Lucy?
291
00:16:48,299 --> 00:16:51,093
- Alone, please?
- I don't know if that's a good idea.
292
00:16:51,219 --> 00:16:55,598
- Please. Come on.
- All right, I'll go get the car.
293
00:17:01,562 --> 00:17:03,356
- You don't have to use this.
- It doesn't matter.
294
00:17:03,523 --> 00:17:05,024
He'll talk to whoever will listen.
295
00:17:05,149 --> 00:17:08,194
I spent all this time hating him
and it did me no good.
296
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:11,239
I do it again and I'm going
to let him ruin everything I have now.
297
00:17:12,949 --> 00:17:16,244
- That's how it works.
- Yeah, the opposite of love isn't hate.
298
00:17:16,369 --> 00:17:20,581
It's indifference. And I'm beginning
to understand that, so...
299
00:17:24,252 --> 00:17:25,711
Hey.
300
00:17:26,754 --> 00:17:28,673
You know I'm on your side.
301
00:17:35,429 --> 00:17:37,640
- Are you all set here?
- Yeah, thank you.
302
00:17:37,807 --> 00:17:39,642
Thank you very much.
303
00:17:41,811 --> 00:17:44,855
I mean, I don't want to
pressure you or anything like that.
304
00:17:44,981 --> 00:17:48,109
So you're buying me an expensive dinner
305
00:17:48,234 --> 00:17:50,236
to find out what happened
on Cyber Predator.
306
00:17:50,361 --> 00:17:52,863
Is this gesture,
like, totally guilt-motivated?
307
00:17:52,989 --> 00:17:55,700
Basically. Yeah. I mean,
it's bad enough you're a gimp,
308
00:17:55,825 --> 00:17:58,452
you know, but then to
take advantage of our friendship...
309
00:17:58,578 --> 00:18:00,997
That is worth one expensive dinner.
310
00:18:01,122 --> 00:18:04,667
Oh, absolutely. You know
we prefer the term "handicapped."
311
00:18:04,834 --> 00:18:07,336
- FYI.
- Thank you.
312
00:18:07,461 --> 00:18:10,089
- I don't want you to lose your job.
- They won't fire me.
313
00:18:10,214 --> 00:18:13,259
It's bad publicity.
Plus, I fill, like, three quotas.
314
00:18:13,384 --> 00:18:18,723
So you went to J-School
to work for Dirt Now?
315
00:18:18,848 --> 00:18:20,016
Yeah.
316
00:18:20,141 --> 00:18:22,893
You know, you went to film school
to work on a TV show about perverts.
317
00:18:23,019 --> 00:18:25,229
We're living the dream, aren't we?
318
00:18:27,857 --> 00:18:30,776
Look, what's going on over there?
319
00:18:33,904 --> 00:18:37,950
A tape's missing
from a show done out in Panorama City.
320
00:18:38,951 --> 00:18:41,829
Some editor asks where it is,
the place fills up with lawyers.
321
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,539
You have any idea what's on the tape?
322
00:18:43,664 --> 00:18:46,417
I know a girl who's an assistant
production manager who might.
323
00:18:46,542 --> 00:18:49,086
- Well, can you call her for me?
- How much are you gonna pay her?
324
00:18:49,795 --> 00:18:53,215
- Pay?
- Money. You guys pay, right?
325
00:18:53,382 --> 00:18:56,719
- It depends on what she has.
- The head of the studio showed up.
326
00:18:56,844 --> 00:18:58,971
Well, then I'll ask about the money.
327
00:19:00,264 --> 00:19:02,558
And could we do this kind of soon?
Maybe?
328
00:19:02,725 --> 00:19:05,728
She gets off around nine.
We could meet up, say, ten?
329
00:19:05,853 --> 00:19:08,439
Cool. And you're not going
to get in trouble for this?
330
00:19:08,564 --> 00:19:11,108
Don't worry. We'll leave me out of it.
331
00:19:12,401 --> 00:19:14,278
These people better show up.
332
00:19:14,403 --> 00:19:17,198
When Lucy smells a story and doesn't
get it she can be such a prick.
333
00:19:17,323 --> 00:19:18,783
Tell me about it.
334
00:19:18,908 --> 00:19:20,910
She's also the best in the business.
335
00:19:21,035 --> 00:19:23,996
So, you know, maybe
a little bit of respect is due.
336
00:19:24,121 --> 00:19:26,916
I'm sorry, I was addressing
the other side of your mouth.
337
00:19:28,793 --> 00:19:30,294
Here they come.
338
00:19:34,507 --> 00:19:36,342
Hi, guys.
339
00:19:36,467 --> 00:19:39,011
Tyler Beckman, Willa McPherson.
340
00:19:39,136 --> 00:19:40,262
Becky Walters.
341
00:19:40,429 --> 00:19:41,430
- Hi.
- Hello.
342
00:19:41,555 --> 00:19:42,556
- Hi.
- Hi.
343
00:19:42,682 --> 00:19:45,559
- So, Becky, what do you know?
- Well, what do you know?
344
00:19:45,685 --> 00:19:47,561
- Missing tape.
- Yes, yes, yes.
345
00:19:47,687 --> 00:19:50,731
Missing and probably shredded,
burned and buried.
346
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:53,150
But I might be able
to get my hands on a copy.
347
00:19:54,110 --> 00:19:56,612
- How much?
- Well, I heard you paid 300 grand
348
00:19:56,779 --> 00:20:00,241
for some stupid wedding pictures.
I get half a million.
349
00:20:00,366 --> 00:20:02,451
To tell you the truth,
I'd almost tell you for nothing.
350
00:20:02,618 --> 00:20:05,955
I'm so sick of these dickheads.
But I won't.
351
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,750
What you get rocks! What you get is the
biggest story since Monica Lewinsky
352
00:20:09,875 --> 00:20:13,295
skimped on her dry cleaning bill.
When I get the cash.
353
00:20:14,296 --> 00:20:17,133
Well, we're not authorized
to spend that kind of money,
354
00:20:17,258 --> 00:20:18,467
so let me just make a phone call.
355
00:20:18,634 --> 00:20:20,970
I hear from you by noon tomorrow
or I open the bidding, OK?
356
00:20:21,095 --> 00:20:23,764
- If you just wait a second...
- Honey, next time come prepared.
357
00:20:24,682 --> 00:20:29,270
And Tyler gets a quarter mil.
A sort of finder's fee. Let's go.
358
00:20:29,395 --> 00:20:31,480
I thought you wanted
to be kept out of this.
359
00:20:31,605 --> 00:20:35,609
For a quarter mil I can be in.
I'm thinking about pimping my ride.
360
00:20:35,735 --> 00:20:38,654
- Let's go.
- Yeah. OK.
361
00:20:42,491 --> 00:20:45,995
Are you out of your goddamn minds?
You let them walk away?
362
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:48,289
- They wanted 750.
- Yeah, what did you want us to do?
363
00:20:48,414 --> 00:20:51,083
- Call me.
- She wouldn't give us time, OK?
364
00:20:51,208 --> 00:20:53,127
- It was a negotiating tactic.
- Then tell them anything.
365
00:20:53,210 --> 00:20:54,503
Tell them that money is no problem.
366
00:20:54,628 --> 00:20:56,922
You don't ever risk them going
to the competition.
367
00:20:57,047 --> 00:20:58,966
Come on, McPherson,
you know better than that.
368
00:20:59,091 --> 00:21:00,342
I'm sorry.
369
00:21:02,178 --> 00:21:03,888
I'm pissed that you screwed up.
370
00:21:04,013 --> 00:21:06,140
But I'm even more pissed off
that you're such a chicken-shit
371
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:08,184
you couldn't call and tell me.
372
00:21:09,018 --> 00:21:11,270
Hey, Lucy, this just came in.
373
00:21:11,395 --> 00:21:15,357
Holt McLaren at a white supremacy rally
when he was a teenager.
374
00:21:16,192 --> 00:21:20,529
Call his publicist. Tell her I want
to do an interview. I'll do it myself.
375
00:21:26,327 --> 00:21:29,830
This will be good, man. Tell wardrobe
I'm going to be a little late.
376
00:21:29,955 --> 00:21:31,916
I need to do an interview, all right?
377
00:21:32,041 --> 00:21:33,375
Thanks, man.
378
00:21:34,627 --> 00:21:37,546
- Hey, there.
- We defended you on our website.
379
00:21:38,506 --> 00:21:40,633
Come on, you've got to be kidding me.
380
00:21:40,716 --> 00:21:42,384
Well, obviously my father
sent this to you, right?
381
00:21:42,468 --> 00:21:45,554
Is there anything else you want
to tell me? Campaign donations?
382
00:21:45,679 --> 00:21:47,556
An uncle who shot a Civil Rights leader?
383
00:21:47,723 --> 00:21:50,226
Come on. Let's go in here.
384
00:21:52,645 --> 00:21:55,314
- So, what is it you want, Lucy?
- Not to be made a fool of.
385
00:21:55,439 --> 00:22:00,069
Come on, that's bullshit. I mean,
what do you care about any of this?
386
00:22:00,402 --> 00:22:04,281
Why do you give a shit what happens
to me? Is it because you feel something?
387
00:22:05,282 --> 00:22:08,202
- Don't worry, I'll get over it.
- Then if that's the way you feel,
388
00:22:08,327 --> 00:22:10,329
then why don't you
join the feeding frenzy?
389
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:13,791
I mean, we all know
you got plenty of shit on me.
390
00:22:14,667 --> 00:22:17,753
You know that I sold Julia out for what,
for a magazine cover.
391
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,964
And, hell, she'd probably still be alive
had she'd not met me.
392
00:22:20,047 --> 00:22:22,007
Come on, she didn't die
because she knew you.
393
00:22:23,092 --> 00:22:26,387
Yeah, we screwed up. We did.
394
00:22:26,512 --> 00:22:29,974
And believe it or not, there isn't a day
that goes by that I don't regret it.
395
00:22:31,392 --> 00:22:34,228
But we did not kill Julia Mallory.
396
00:22:39,733 --> 00:22:41,777
I forgot what the rally was.
397
00:22:41,902 --> 00:22:43,863
I mean, come on, I was ten years old.
398
00:22:45,865 --> 00:22:47,449
Look...
399
00:22:51,579 --> 00:22:54,081
My old man came and picked me up.
He told my mom he was taking me
400
00:22:54,206 --> 00:22:56,125
and my sister to a picnic.
401
00:22:56,292 --> 00:23:00,838
I ate hot dogs.
I had my first beer that day.
402
00:23:02,965 --> 00:23:06,218
- What?
- It's crazy.
403
00:23:06,343 --> 00:23:10,556
- Tell me.
- My old man won a shooting contest.
404
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:13,726
I mean, these guys were
throwing beer bottles up in the air
405
00:23:13,851 --> 00:23:16,562
and he was picking them off like they
were inches in front of his face.
406
00:23:17,438 --> 00:23:20,524
- And you were proud.
- Yeah.
407
00:23:25,529 --> 00:23:27,823
You know, all the anger just went away.
408
00:23:29,992 --> 00:23:32,703
And he gave me the gun.
And I still have the damn thing.
409
00:23:34,038 --> 00:23:35,623
I mean, that's crazy, right?
410
00:23:36,707 --> 00:23:37,833
No.
411
00:23:38,667 --> 00:23:39,960
Not at all.
412
00:23:40,085 --> 00:23:43,380
I mean, you know, you think you get
where you want to go in life
413
00:23:43,505 --> 00:23:45,549
and everything would just settle.
You know?
414
00:23:48,510 --> 00:23:50,346
It just gets more complicated.
415
00:23:53,891 --> 00:23:56,477
You're not the same person
you were six months ago.
416
00:23:58,854 --> 00:23:59,897
Neither are you.
417
00:24:04,109 --> 00:24:05,694
Do me a favor.
418
00:24:06,862 --> 00:24:09,365
Go out with Jasmine tonight and be seen.
419
00:24:09,823 --> 00:24:12,576
A black girlfriend trumps a Nazi dad.
420
00:24:14,328 --> 00:24:16,705
You just said you
were on my side, remember?
421
00:24:20,709 --> 00:24:23,712
You didn't have to tell me that. I know.
422
00:24:26,548 --> 00:24:28,634
- I got to go.
- Wait, are you sure?
423
00:24:28,759 --> 00:24:31,804
Come on. Do you?
424
00:24:32,638 --> 00:24:35,557
- We can't do this, Holt.
- No, you can't do this.
425
00:24:36,392 --> 00:24:38,060
It's bad.
426
00:24:39,311 --> 00:24:41,063
It's so bad.
427
00:24:44,066 --> 00:24:46,777
All we need is one reporter
to start digging, and,
428
00:24:46,902 --> 00:24:49,446
I mean, scandal
isn't even the word for it.
429
00:24:53,367 --> 00:24:56,412
I might have a career left.
You wouldn't.
430
00:24:58,372 --> 00:25:01,250
Come on, this isn't about careers,
but keep telling yourself that.
431
00:25:02,209 --> 00:25:05,254
You may even convince yourself it's the
truth one of these days, you know?
432
00:25:20,394 --> 00:25:22,271
Put your seatbelt on.
433
00:25:25,941 --> 00:25:27,526
It's just a movie costume.
434
00:25:27,651 --> 00:25:30,946
Look, I signed something. For my job.
435
00:25:31,113 --> 00:25:35,576
Your son's surgery is $48,000.
The insurance only covers 28.
436
00:25:37,494 --> 00:25:39,246
Here's the other 20.
437
00:25:42,291 --> 00:25:44,626
Until recently,
my world was all hallucinations.
438
00:25:44,793 --> 00:25:47,504
I never knew what was real. Now, I do.
439
00:25:47,671 --> 00:25:52,426
Is a movie costume real? No.
Your son is real.
440
00:26:00,893 --> 00:26:04,980
Warehouse. 2232 Wilmer. Downtown.
First floor in the back.
441
00:26:05,272 --> 00:26:07,816
Mr. Trisko has a fitting at 11:00.
442
00:26:13,113 --> 00:26:14,281
Thank you.
443
00:26:37,429 --> 00:26:39,348
- What else?
- OK, "Best and Worst Dressed,"
444
00:26:39,473 --> 00:26:42,267
you get pages in an hour, "Who's Gay and
Who's Not," they're still laying out,
445
00:26:42,392 --> 00:26:45,312
"Dark Guardian," if they get Don's film
they can finish in 20 minutes.
446
00:26:45,437 --> 00:26:47,189
We also have "Soap Stars
and Their Brownstones."
447
00:26:47,356 --> 00:26:50,067
Let's push that closer to the
Daytime Emmys or the end of time,
448
00:26:50,192 --> 00:26:52,361
- whichever's first.
- OK.
449
00:26:54,113 --> 00:26:56,365
Line one. It's a hospital in Oregon.
450
00:26:56,532 --> 00:26:59,660
Someone's been in a car accident
and he gave them your name.
451
00:27:02,037 --> 00:27:03,205
This is Lucy Spiller.
452
00:27:10,796 --> 00:27:13,173
Can we get this thing moving?
Come on, where's the costume?
453
00:27:13,298 --> 00:27:15,884
Come on, I want to be out of here
in time to pick up my kid.
454
00:27:19,054 --> 00:27:20,722
I'm busy.
455
00:27:24,059 --> 00:27:25,060
Yeah.
456
00:27:25,227 --> 00:27:27,563
Don, your brother's
been in a car accident.
457
00:27:27,729 --> 00:27:31,358
- How bad is it?
- He's OK, but he needs you.
458
00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:34,820
OK, he didn't know how to reach you
so he told them to call me.
459
00:27:34,945 --> 00:27:38,073
I made a reservation, 2:30
to Portland, and the ticket's waiting.
460
00:27:38,198 --> 00:27:40,742
Lucy, I promised I'd get this shot.
461
00:27:40,868 --> 00:27:44,413
- I'll get somebody else.
- I'm in an air vent.
462
00:27:44,538 --> 00:27:47,166
Don, listen to me.
I'm going to put Kenny on.
463
00:27:47,291 --> 00:27:49,877
Give him your information. I'll find
someone else to take the shot.
464
00:27:50,002 --> 00:27:53,672
OK? You need to leave now.
Call me when you get there.
465
00:27:54,590 --> 00:27:56,967
OK, I'm putting Kenny on. Hold on.
466
00:28:00,679 --> 00:28:02,389
- Kenny!
- Yeah.
467
00:28:02,514 --> 00:28:04,433
I want you to find out
exactly where Don is
468
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,102
and send that guy David
whatever-his-name-is with a camera
469
00:28:07,269 --> 00:28:08,770
and tell him not to wear
expensive clothes.
470
00:28:08,937 --> 00:28:12,691
- OK, you have your lunch at one. So...
- All right. Pick up Don.
471
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,288
I'm Lucy. You must be Adam.
472
00:28:26,455 --> 00:28:29,458
Good to put a face to the name.
473
00:28:29,958 --> 00:28:32,544
Come, lunch is on the way.
474
00:28:38,217 --> 00:28:39,551
Please.
475
00:28:42,971 --> 00:28:44,765
Do you like men?
476
00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:51,146
- Specifically or generally?
- Lesbians don't care.
477
00:28:51,980 --> 00:28:55,025
Straight women, many of them hate men.
478
00:28:56,526 --> 00:28:59,154
- Thank you.
- They should. We treat them like shit.
479
00:29:02,324 --> 00:29:03,825
I like some men.
480
00:29:04,785 --> 00:29:07,788
Do you have an editorial philosophy?
481
00:29:07,913 --> 00:29:10,874
Figure out what the readers want
before they know what they want
482
00:29:10,999 --> 00:29:13,168
- and give it to them.
- That's not good enough.
483
00:29:13,293 --> 00:29:15,462
Make them want what they don't want,
484
00:29:16,505 --> 00:29:17,631
you raise your circulation.
485
00:29:18,215 --> 00:29:20,342
- You're very well paid.
- When my contract is up,
486
00:29:20,467 --> 00:29:23,220
- you'll have to pay me more.
- Brent Barrow says the website
487
00:29:23,345 --> 00:29:26,932
can produce more revenue.
He wants editorial control.
488
00:29:27,057 --> 00:29:30,310
Brent Barrow shouldn't be
in control of the air conditioning,
489
00:29:30,435 --> 00:29:31,728
let alone the website.
490
00:29:31,853 --> 00:29:37,192
This story on a TV show, Cyber Predator.
Seven hundred fifty for a source?
491
00:29:37,567 --> 00:29:40,195
You want circulation
or do you want me to be cautious?
492
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,863
Touché.
493
00:29:42,823 --> 00:29:46,451
I had a call from a friend at the
studio. They want us to drop the story.
494
00:29:46,576 --> 00:29:48,495
Well, I can't think of a better reason
not to drop it.
495
00:29:49,246 --> 00:29:51,832
- I agree with you.
- We're going to get along.
496
00:29:52,082 --> 00:29:55,711
In life, as in our dreams,
497
00:29:56,128 --> 00:29:58,588
it's not how far we go together.
498
00:29:59,715 --> 00:30:01,758
It's what we do when we get there.
499
00:30:05,387 --> 00:30:06,888
Lunch.
500
00:30:13,312 --> 00:30:14,771
Oh, boy.
501
00:30:17,149 --> 00:30:19,943
I figured out what's wrong
with all of your copy.
502
00:30:20,068 --> 00:30:22,571
Well, do tell, Maxwell Perkins.
503
00:30:23,530 --> 00:30:26,867
- Who's Maxwell Perkins?
- Enough said.
504
00:30:26,992 --> 00:30:28,827
See, that's your problem.
505
00:30:30,329 --> 00:30:32,789
I don't know who this Perkins is
and frankly, you know,
506
00:30:32,914 --> 00:30:35,584
I really don't give a shit unless he's
got a three-picture deal at Warner
507
00:30:35,751 --> 00:30:38,253
or he's a terrific source.
508
00:30:38,378 --> 00:30:42,424
You, on the other hand, I swear to God,
you always have to prove
509
00:30:42,549 --> 00:30:45,177
that you're the smartest guy
in the class.
510
00:30:45,302 --> 00:30:47,763
And it shows up in your copy.
511
00:30:49,139 --> 00:30:51,725
I don't know, maybe that's what happens
when you go to Harvard.
512
00:30:51,850 --> 00:30:56,730
You feel like you're above all of this,
but the truth is that you love it.
513
00:30:56,855 --> 00:30:59,775
You're just too insecure to admit it.
514
00:30:59,941 --> 00:31:02,944
So... do we have a deal?
515
00:31:03,111 --> 00:31:06,114
- When did you get like this?
- Working for a TV studio.
516
00:31:06,281 --> 00:31:09,284
Well, money's not a problem.
Do you have the footage?
517
00:31:09,409 --> 00:31:12,287
Yeah, I used my new cell phone that day.
Really great quality.
518
00:31:12,412 --> 00:31:16,291
- I transferred it to this.
- Nice.
519
00:31:17,459 --> 00:31:20,170
Holt McLaren woke up today
to more bad news.
520
00:31:20,295 --> 00:31:23,632
In the wake of his father's
attention-grabbing remarks on race,
521
00:31:23,757 --> 00:31:26,927
Hollywood and gay people,
his sometime girlfriend Jasmine Ford
522
00:31:27,052 --> 00:31:29,971
- seems to have had enough.
- I did not break up with Holt
523
00:31:30,097 --> 00:31:32,849
for the simple reason
we were never an item to begin with.
524
00:31:32,974 --> 00:31:35,685
We're just two people
making a movie together.
525
00:31:35,811 --> 00:31:40,315
Holt McLaren comes to us to fire back
tomorrow in a special live interview
526
00:31:40,482 --> 00:31:42,025
on Access Hollywood.
527
00:31:45,946 --> 00:31:48,990
- We spent 750.
- We got a bargain.
528
00:31:49,241 --> 00:31:53,954
What? You're kidding me? OK, where?
Where is he? OK, I'm going there.
529
00:31:56,456 --> 00:31:58,208
That guy running
is their production manager.
530
00:31:58,333 --> 00:32:00,293
She says the minute he got the call
he went crazy.
531
00:32:00,419 --> 00:32:02,295
You can see why they burned
and buried their tapes.
532
00:32:02,421 --> 00:32:05,048
- Trust me, get back in the car. Please.
- What are you talking about?
533
00:32:05,173 --> 00:32:09,511
Jesus, Paul Trisko likes
15-year-old girls.
534
00:32:09,678 --> 00:32:12,222
Actually, Lucy, 13.
535
00:32:12,347 --> 00:32:15,183
Well, goodbye Dark Guardian
and hello Neverland.
536
00:32:15,308 --> 00:32:17,978
Get back in the car
and get out of here.
537
00:32:18,103 --> 00:32:21,857
- What the hell's he carrying?
- Teddy bear and a bottle of booze.
538
00:32:21,982 --> 00:32:24,860
Well, got to love a pedophile
who's a romantic.
539
00:32:25,777 --> 00:32:28,905
So do you think this Becky girl
will be OK in court if we get sued?
540
00:32:29,030 --> 00:32:31,491
- She seems smart.
- Tyler will be a great witness.
541
00:32:31,616 --> 00:32:34,035
Yeah, well, the studio
could always say this video
542
00:32:34,161 --> 00:32:35,912
had nothing to do with Cyber Predator.
543
00:32:36,705 --> 00:32:40,375
I think I'll have to do to Jonathan
Chubb what he does to everyone else.
544
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:42,919
Congratulations, guys.
You did great.
545
00:32:43,211 --> 00:32:45,589
Drink up, go home
and have some terrific sex.
546
00:32:48,008 --> 00:32:51,928
What, you two haven't done it yet?
Sorry.
547
00:33:08,028 --> 00:33:10,071
Hey, Jason.
548
00:33:10,906 --> 00:33:12,491
Donny.
549
00:33:14,284 --> 00:33:16,411
I must be bad if you're here.
550
00:33:17,537 --> 00:33:21,416
I haven't seen you in, what,
like five years?
551
00:33:22,501 --> 00:33:24,002
Ten in July.
552
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,588
It's good to see you.
553
00:33:26,755 --> 00:33:31,343
Oh, no, don't move.
You have a fractured arm
554
00:33:31,468 --> 00:33:33,762
and you've broken your leg
in three places.
555
00:33:33,887 --> 00:33:35,931
They put you together with titanium.
556
00:33:36,056 --> 00:33:38,642
And you have a grade-two concussion.
557
00:33:38,767 --> 00:33:41,436
- I don't remember any of it.
- You were drunk.
558
00:33:42,229 --> 00:33:44,356
Three times over the state limit.
559
00:33:44,606 --> 00:33:46,483
Did I hurt anyone?
560
00:33:47,567 --> 00:33:52,364
I don't know. They say
you hit a tree and a parked car.
561
00:33:54,699 --> 00:33:57,202
Are you still, you know...?
562
00:33:57,285 --> 00:33:59,079
- Crazy?
- Yeah.
563
00:33:59,204 --> 00:34:01,915
Kind of. You know, but better.
564
00:34:02,541 --> 00:34:04,960
- Nice balloons.
- Yeah.
565
00:34:05,126 --> 00:34:07,629
Well, you liked them when you were nine.
566
00:34:07,796 --> 00:34:11,591
You broke your leg sliding into third.
It's the same leg.
567
00:34:12,801 --> 00:34:15,971
- How long you staying for?
- I don't know.
568
00:34:17,472 --> 00:34:19,307
Does anyone else know?
569
00:34:20,934 --> 00:34:23,144
Let's keep it that way, OK?
570
00:34:24,646 --> 00:34:26,815
This is far out, man.
571
00:34:27,774 --> 00:34:29,276
You taking care of me.
572
00:34:29,401 --> 00:34:31,194
That's what we do.
573
00:34:31,319 --> 00:34:33,446
We take care of each other.
574
00:34:33,822 --> 00:34:35,699
So this has been a hard time for you.
575
00:34:36,741 --> 00:34:40,662
Well, it's difficult
having a father like mine.
576
00:34:40,787 --> 00:34:43,832
But it's been going on
for a long time, so...
577
00:34:43,957 --> 00:34:45,542
So you still carry some resentment?
578
00:34:46,668 --> 00:34:49,546
Well, he abandoned my mom
and my sister and me when we were kids.
579
00:34:49,671 --> 00:34:54,301
So it's not like I didn't know that he
could say or do stupid things, you know?
580
00:34:54,593 --> 00:34:57,846
But there are people out there who
are saying that you should object more
581
00:34:57,971 --> 00:35:02,142
- to what he is saying.
- Well, I probably could have
582
00:35:02,225 --> 00:35:04,978
taken a stronger stance, but, you know,
583
00:35:05,103 --> 00:35:06,855
I hope that I made
my feelings pretty clear.
584
00:35:06,980 --> 00:35:09,858
- Yeah.
- I find what he says disgusting.
585
00:35:09,983 --> 00:35:11,985
Anything that you
would do differently now?
586
00:35:12,110 --> 00:35:15,030
Well, I can't seem to do the
one thing that a lot of people
587
00:35:15,196 --> 00:35:19,159
think that I should do. I just can't
pretend that he's not a human being.
588
00:35:20,035 --> 00:35:21,620
He's still my father, so...
589
00:35:23,580 --> 00:35:26,666
We're here with Holt McLaren
and we will be right back.
590
00:35:31,212 --> 00:35:33,048
- Hi.
- How am I doing?
591
00:35:33,173 --> 00:35:37,719
You're doing good. You are...
You're serious, but emotional.
592
00:35:37,844 --> 00:35:42,098
You are thoughtful, but warm.
That's how you get an "A."
593
00:35:42,223 --> 00:35:44,684
Who needs a crisis manager?
I have you, right?
594
00:35:45,935 --> 00:35:48,021
It's nice to know
I can find a new line of work.
595
00:35:48,146 --> 00:35:50,690
You just can't stand
my appreciating your help, can you?
596
00:35:51,733 --> 00:35:54,235
Yeah, well, it's complicated.
597
00:35:55,403 --> 00:35:58,406
You don't think I know that?
I know that better than you. Come on.
598
00:35:59,115 --> 00:36:00,200
You ought to get back.
599
00:36:00,325 --> 00:36:01,785
All right, I'll talk to you later.
600
00:36:02,827 --> 00:36:05,747
The art department says you have
ten minutes to transmit a new cover.
601
00:36:05,872 --> 00:36:07,916
Legal says Cyber Predator
is out of the question.
602
00:36:08,083 --> 00:36:09,834
- That's bullshit.
- Right.
603
00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:13,254
- The guy at Legal was pretty adamant.
- Send the goddamn cover.
604
00:36:13,421 --> 00:36:16,424
- OK.
- Lucy, they're here.
605
00:36:17,092 --> 00:36:18,259
Really?
606
00:36:24,933 --> 00:36:26,059
Hello.
607
00:36:26,851 --> 00:36:31,147
Oh, no, no, sit.
There's no need for manners now.
608
00:36:36,444 --> 00:36:39,572
So this is quite a charge, Lucy.
609
00:36:39,698 --> 00:36:42,409
Miss Spiller, you're playing
around with people's lives.
610
00:36:42,534 --> 00:36:46,871
Neither Mr. Chubb, nor I, nor Mr.
Coleman here knows anything about this.
611
00:36:46,996 --> 00:36:50,375
And I can assure you
that Paul Trisko is no pedophile.
612
00:36:50,500 --> 00:36:52,252
Well, you might be right, Mr. O'Conner
613
00:36:52,377 --> 00:36:53,962
because he left
before he got the chance.
614
00:36:54,087 --> 00:36:56,965
I won't have the integrity
of my show questioned like that.
615
00:36:57,132 --> 00:36:59,592
He was pushed back into a car.
616
00:36:59,718 --> 00:37:02,929
Could be anywhere. Maybe he went
to a party, he wasn't invited,
617
00:37:03,054 --> 00:37:04,639
security told him to go home.
618
00:37:04,764 --> 00:37:07,142
You don't believe I have a tape, do you?
619
00:37:07,267 --> 00:37:08,476
Do you?
620
00:37:08,643 --> 00:37:12,230
Well, he was carrying a blue teddy bear
and a cheap bottle of Scotch,
621
00:37:12,355 --> 00:37:15,150
Benson's or Barton's something.
622
00:37:15,316 --> 00:37:17,485
The house across the street was 521.
623
00:37:17,652 --> 00:37:20,989
And you shot that show at
524 Delaware, Panorama City.
624
00:37:21,281 --> 00:37:25,785
- Should I go on?
- What kind of business are you running?
625
00:37:26,494 --> 00:37:29,748
I will get to the bottom of this.
I'll go public if I find out
626
00:37:29,873 --> 00:37:31,708
that you covered up
for a child molester.
627
00:37:31,833 --> 00:37:35,295
It's his show. His production company.
We knew nothing about it.
628
00:37:36,171 --> 00:37:38,840
You know, Paul Trisko will
be off the lot in an hour.
629
00:37:38,965 --> 00:37:42,135
Well, you sort of just admitted it.
630
00:37:42,260 --> 00:37:44,554
Look, anyone involved will be fired.
631
00:37:45,764 --> 00:37:47,599
Then you'll have to fire yourself.
632
00:37:48,099 --> 00:37:51,603
I know that Mr. Coleman wasn't there,
but what were you doing
633
00:37:51,728 --> 00:37:54,272
in the show's tape library at midnight?
634
00:37:55,023 --> 00:37:56,900
That's right. We have that story, too.
635
00:37:57,025 --> 00:38:00,236
I've heard enough.
I'm getting the hell out of here.
636
00:38:06,284 --> 00:38:07,535
Wait, wait, wait. Right there.
637
00:38:08,119 --> 00:38:09,913
Why is Jonathan Chubb looking
at the furniture?
638
00:38:10,038 --> 00:38:12,874
Because he's looking for cameras.
That whole losing-his-temper bullshit?
639
00:38:12,999 --> 00:38:15,919
That's because he knows we have video
and he's playing to the balcony.
640
00:38:16,044 --> 00:38:18,755
Our Paul Trisko tape's been
on the website 21 minutes.
641
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,924
- Four million hits, the server crashed.
- Wow.
642
00:38:21,049 --> 00:38:24,093
It's all over the news.
Every story mentions Dirt Now.
643
00:38:24,427 --> 00:38:27,055
I told you the cover would be fine.
Do you trust me now?
644
00:38:27,889 --> 00:38:28,932
Yes.
645
00:38:29,057 --> 00:38:31,559
Don't be ridiculous. Never trust me.
646
00:38:36,981 --> 00:38:40,068
So I have a couple sitcom tapings
I've just got to pop into really quick.
647
00:38:40,193 --> 00:38:43,196
- Are you sure you can't hang out?
- No, I have dinner with an advertiser.
648
00:38:43,321 --> 00:38:48,076
So you drove 16 blocks just
to say hi? I'm flattered.
649
00:38:48,243 --> 00:38:50,578
You know that night
you got the phone call?
650
00:38:50,745 --> 00:38:53,915
- You left your phone out on purpose.
- Really?
651
00:38:54,082 --> 00:38:58,336
You said something about "higher up
the pay grade" so I'd be tempted.
652
00:38:59,504 --> 00:39:01,840
Your boss knew about Paul Trisko,
and you knew he knew,
653
00:39:01,965 --> 00:39:06,010
- and you got me to do the story.
- Do you really think I'm that smart?
654
00:39:06,427 --> 00:39:08,471
You have your boss's job.
655
00:39:08,930 --> 00:39:10,974
A man faces a difficult situation.
656
00:39:11,099 --> 00:39:14,894
Let's just say the man is me.
He knows about a problem,
657
00:39:15,019 --> 00:39:17,772
but he can't say anything
because it's gone way too far.
658
00:39:17,897 --> 00:39:22,151
His boss won't do anything
because he's protecting his ass.
659
00:39:23,778 --> 00:39:25,572
So, what's this man supposed to do?
660
00:39:27,949 --> 00:39:30,285
He lets someone turn it
into a great story.
661
00:39:30,910 --> 00:39:32,912
And he looks like a hero.
662
00:39:33,037 --> 00:39:34,956
And the studio doesn't make
a hundred-million-dollar movie
663
00:39:35,123 --> 00:39:37,792
that would've tanked if the
child molester story had come out.
664
00:39:37,959 --> 00:39:41,462
And a bad guy lost his job. And it
just so happens a good guy got it.
665
00:39:41,588 --> 00:39:44,591
Every so often, life is fair.
666
00:39:44,716 --> 00:39:47,468
- You used me.
- Excuse me, my dear.
667
00:39:47,594 --> 00:39:51,014
Who used who? That's cute.
