- PREVIOUSLY ON "CRASH"... - ADULT-ONSET TYPE 1 DIABETES IS A BIT MORE SERIOUS.
TELL ME WHO DID IT! TRASHING MY STORE?
- AFTER ALL I'VE DONE FOR YOU! - STAY AWAY FROM MY SON.
MR. LOMAND, LET ME EXP-- [ grunting ]
DOES GOD SPEAK TO YOU OFTEN?
HOW MUCH IS MY WIFE PAYING YOU TO FIND OUT IF HER HUSBAND'S CRAZY?
Paul: ANYBODY CAN TALK ABOUT BUILDING A CITY FOR THE HOMELESS.
BUT TO ACTUALLY DO IT, YOU HAVE TO BE A LITTLE BIT INSANE.
Suzy: YOU KNOW WHAT? MAYBE IT IS A GOOD THING THAT YOU'RE BACK.
MAYBE FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE
YOU CAN ACTUALLY COME THROUGH FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED YOU.
- WHO'S DYING? - Owen: SUZY TOLD YOU.
WHAT, YOU DIDN'T WANT ME TO KNOW?
THAT'S WHY I'M GONNA ASK YOU FOR A FAVOR, BEN.
- THIS MUCH SHIT WILL KILL YOU, OWEN. - THAT'S THE GENERAL IDEA.
Kieran: YOU ARE THE WORST, MOST GORGEOUS LIAR I'VE EVER MET.
- AH! - Kieran: I'VE COME TO MAKE UP FOR MY OAFISH BEHAVIOR.
Inez: DOES THAT MEAN WE'RE GONNA SEE EACH OTHER TOMORROW?
I WAS SORT OF HOPING THAT IT WOULDN'T BE AS A CLIENT.
I'M SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE FUCKING ME OVER!
- FUCK. BOBBY. - [ gunshot ]
- [ phone vibrating ] - Jimmy: INEZ, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?
I'M IN BIG TROUBLE, BABY. CALL ME BACK.
COME ON, INEZ. PICK UP THE PHONE!
[ whirring ]
WELL, THAT'S A BIT WEIRD, ISN'T IT?
- [ both chuckle ] - WHAT?
THIS IS A JOKE, RIGHT?
YOU'RE NOT REAL. YOU CAN'T BE.
HMM. I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW TO ANSWER THAT.
WHAT DON'T I KNOW?
TELL ME NOW.
YOU'RE MARRIED? YOU'RE A CRIMINAL?
[ slaps ] WHAT IS IT?
I'M NOT MARRIED.
I HAVE A HALF-DOZEN OUTSTANDING PARKING TICKETS.
AND THE NEXT TIME YOU WAKE UP, I'M GONNA BE RIGHT HERE,
STARING YOU DEAD IN THE FACE...
AND IT IS GONNA FREAK YOU OUT.
[ both laugh ]
- REALLY? - MMM, REALLY.
WELL, IN THAT CASE
I CAN'T WAIT.
- NOR CAN I. - [ both laugh ]
SO THIS IS PARIS. IT'S WHEN OWEN GOT
THE COMMANDER OF THE ORDER OF ARTS & LETTERS.
I WAS IN PARIS WITH DYLAN WHEN HE GOT HIS.
THE FRENCH-- THEY HAVE GOOD TASTE.
AND AT THAT TIME
CASSIE REALLY WANTED TO GO TO THE SORBONNE,
BUT SHE DIDN'T SPEAK ANY FRENCH.
SHE WAS ONLY 13. WHAT DID SHE KNOW?
I PRODUCED A RAMONES ALBUM
AROUND THAT TIME-- '86 OR '87-- RIGHT?
WELL, WHY DO YOU THINK SHE'S WEARING THAT T-SHIRT?
- OH. - I MEAN SHE LOVED THAT ALBUM.
- SHE PLAYED IT OVER AND OVER ALL SUMMER. - REALLY?
- MM-HMM. - OH, POOR THING.
THAT WAS A TERRIBLE ALBUM.
THE RAMONES WERE SO SCREWED UP
[ whispers ] AND I WAS SO FUCKED UP.
- WHEW. - AND THIS IS U.C.L.A. WHEN SHE GRADUATED.
SHE WAS VERY PROUD.
YEAH, THAT BLACK ROBE, THE BLUE AND YELLOW STOLE,
THOSE PEARL EARRINGS AND THE WAY HER HAIR LOOKED IN THAT LIGHT--
IT WAS SO AMAZING.
AND KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR,
HE GAVE A HELL OF A COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS.
WAIT. YOU-- YOU WERE THERE?
YEAH, I WAS THIRD LEVEL,
RIGHT UP IN THE CORNER BY THE DOOR.
BUT, BEN, WE DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE THERE.
I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW.
I WANTED TO SEE HOW WELL SHE WAS DOING
AND HOW WELL SHE WAS ADVANCING. I WAS SO PROUD.
- YEAH. - JESUS, BEN.
THAT'S SAD. I MEAN...
ALL THESE YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN SO ANGRY,
I SHOULD'VE HAD SOME COMPASSION FOR YOU.
NAH.
DO YOU KNOW ANY REASON WHY CASSIE WOULD STOP WRITING
IN HER DIARY TWO MONTHS BEFORE SHE DIED?
SHE DID? OH, THAT WASN'T LIKE HER.
- NO. - NO.
COULD IT HAVE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE GUY SHE WAS DATING,
THAT WESLEY THIGPEN?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT, IT MIGHT'VE HAD EVERYTHING TO DO WITH HIM.
HOW'S THAT?
WELL, HE WAS A MARRIED MAN, BEN,
AND HE WAS A MUCH OLDER MARRIED MAN AT THAT.
AND SHE WASN'T PARTICULARLY PROUD OF THAT,
SO MAYBE WRITING IT DOWN MADE IT MORE REAL TO HER.
- I DON'T KNOW. - [ door opens, closes ]
I'M LOOKING FOR MY TRAMADOL.
OH, LOOK IN THE CUPBOARD ABOVE THE STOVE.
CHECKED THERE AND IN THE BATHROOM.
OKAY, MAYBE IT'S ON YOUR DESK--
YOU KNOW, IT FELL UNDERNEATH YOUR PAPERS.
I'M EXHAUSTED, SUZE.
I COULD USE A LITTLE HELP.
OF COURSE.
- WHAT THE HELL DID I DO? - I DON'T KNOW,
BUT CLEARLY YOU'VE PISSED OWEN OFF.
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH DRAMA WITH YOU?
- IT'S THE STORY OF MY LIFE. - OH, YEAH?
WELL, WHATEVER MAKES YOU TWO BUTT HORNS,
I SUGGEST THAT YOU FIX IT.
OH.
OKAY.
- THERE YOU GO. - THANKS A LOT.
[ bell rings ]
[ grunts ]
- HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? - JUST MOVING THESE TO THE BACK.
NO, YOU'RE NOT. THE DOCTOR SAID YOU SHOULD TAKE IT EASY.
MOM, I CAN HANDLE A FEW BOXES.
AND BREAK SOME MORE RIBS, MAYBE PUNCTURE A LUNG.
THEY'RE NOT BROKEN. THEY'RE BRUISED.
- OH! OH! - BO.
I'M FINE.
- MOM, I'M FINE. - OH, QUIT BEING SO STUBBORN.
SIT DOWN.
WE NEED TO PUT SOME ICE ON THOSE RIBS.
[ inhales sharply ]
THAT'S OKAY. YOU'LL BE RIGHT AS RAIN BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.
HAVING FUN?
[ gunfire stops ]
THREE HOURS, 47 MINUTES.
THAT'S HOW LONG HE'S BEEN IN THERE.
Andrea: 49. YOUR WATCH IS SLOW.
DOES IT USUALLY TAKE THIS LONG?
TO READ A FEASIBILITY STUDY?
OH YEAH. SETH IS VERY THOROUGH.
- I BROUGHT PASTRIES. - OH, YOU'RE A LIFESAVER.
SOMEBODY IS PREGNANT. [ chuckles ]
I TAKE IT HE'S STILL READING.
HE'S BEEN THERE ALMOST FOUR HOURS NOW.
SO WHAT? IF HE DOESN'T LIKE WHAT HE SEES ON THE PAPER,
HE JUST WALKS AWAY FROM THE WHOLE THING?
NO, NOT NECESSARILY.
- IF HE HAS ANY SENSE, HE WILL. - COME ON.
LOOK, 80% OF L.A.'S HOMELESS
ARE ADDICTED TO DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR BOTH.
THEY'RE MENTALLY ILL. I'M SORRY.
I DON'T THINK SETH CAN JUST SNAP HIS FINGERS
- AND MAKE THOSE PROBLEMS GO AWAY. - WELL, HE CAN TRY, RIGHT?
COME ON, THE CITY'S GONNA HAVE HOSPITALS, REHAB CLINICS--
- ALL KINDS OF GOOD STUFF. - OH, I KNOW.
I'VE BEEN DOING ALL THE RESEARCH.
I JUST-- YOU KNOW, I HAVE CONCERNS.
WELL, YOU'RE NOT ALONE. JUST TURN ON THE TV.
MAGGIE, YOU'RE HIS WIFE. YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO QUESTION THE VIABILITY--
I DON'T QUESTION. THAT'S WHY I'M STILL HIS WIFE.
[ sighs ]
WHY DO YOU DO THAT?
- DO WHAT? - PUSH HER BUTTONS LIKE THAT.
- I DIDN'T PUSH HER BUTTONS. - YOU KNOW WHAT SHE'S GOING THROUGH.
I'VE KNOWN SETH BLANCHARD
FOR LONGER THAN EITHER YOU OR MAGGIE--
16 HOURS A DAY FOR THE PAST 11 YEARS--
AND IN ALL THAT TIME
NEVER ONCE HAVE I HEARD HIM VOICE CONCERN
- OVER THE PLIGHT OF THE HOMELESS. - YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE RIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW WHO SETH WAS BEFORE,
BUT THE SETH I KNOW HONESTLY BELIEVES
HE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD.
SO TELL ME-- HOW CAN THAT BE A BAD THING?
IF IT WORKS, GREAT.
I'M SURE HE APPRECIATES YOUR ENTHUSIASM, ANDREA.
- WHERE DO YOU GET OFF-- - YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DO YOU? HUH?
I MEAN, YOU REALLY HATE THE FACT
THAT I HAVE THIS ALLEGIANCE TOWARDS YOUR BOSS.
YOU THINK HE'S YOUR TERRITORY.
IT IS MY TERRITORY.
I'VE EARNED IT.
HUH.
SETH, EVERYTHING OKAY?
ARE YOU FINISHED READING IT?
THERE'S GONNA BE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS DOWN THE LINE
ABOUT EXPANSION, VIABILITY,
KEEPING THE WHOLE THING UP AND RUNNING,
BUT THE CITY ITSELF
CAN BE BUILT.
YOU'RE SAYING IT CAN WORK?
YES, I CAN DO THIS, MAGGIE. WE CAN DO THIS.
OH, BABE. THAT'S WONDERFUL. CONGRATULATIONS.
WELL, THAT WAS THE EASY PART.
NOW THE REAL WORK BEGINS.
INEZ.
- [ door closes ] - INEZ!
BOTH OF YOU ARE FUCKING LUCKY
I CANNOT DEAL WITH THIS RIGHT NOW.
- Inez: JIMMY. - OH, FUCK.
- JIMMY, WAIT. - WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN, INEZ?
I NEEDED YOU. I CALLED YOU 100 TIMES.
YES, I KNOW. I DIDN'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
OH, THAT'S GREAT, INEZ.
I TELL YOU I'M GONNA BE GONE A WEEK
AND YOU BRING SOME FUCKING SCUMBAG INTO THE BED.
IT'S AMAZING-- THE SIZE OF YOUR HEART, INEZ.
- IT TRULY IS. - HEY, I CAN HANDLE THIS.
PLEASE. PLEASE.
LOOK. HEY, I'M SORRY.
- I MET KIERAN AT THE CLUB-- - GOD DAMN IT, INEZ!
- DO YOU THINK I GIVE A SHIT ABOUT HIM RIGHT NOW?! - SHUT UP!
I'M IN SERIOUS TROUBLE HERE,
DEEP FUCKING TROUBLE.
WHAT DID YOU DO, JIMMY?
THE LESS YOU KNOW, THE BETTER.
THINGS DIDN'T, UH...
GO AS PLANNED WITH BOBBY.
WHAT HAPPENED? JIMMY, WHAT HAPPENED WITH BOBBY?
IT'S BAD. IT'S REALLY FUCKING BAD.
YOU'RE FUCKING SCARING ME RIGHT NOW, JIMMY!
IT'S TIME TO BE SCARED, INEZ.
I'VE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED IN MY WHOLE LIFE.
- YOU FUCK-- - YOU CAN WORRY ABOUT HIM
WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER AND I COME BACK HERE
AND SET THINGS STRAIGHT. YOU GOT IT?
- GOT IT. - UH-HUH.
ALL RIGHT. LISTEN,
IF ANYONE ASKS,
I SPENT THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS HERE WITH YOU,
CELEBRATING OUR ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY.
WE ORDERED IN, DID WHATEVER.
THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE LAST 48 HOURS, OKAY?
- OKAY? - YEAH, OKAY!
I'M GONNA DISAPPEAR FOR A WHILE, INEZ.
- I DON'T WANT YOUR FUCKING MONEY, JIMMY. - TAKE IT.
YOU CAN STASH IT SOMEWHERE. JUST TAKE IT, PLEASE.
- OH. - LET ME GUESS.
JIMMY?
MOM, WHY DID YOU ORDER MORE OF THESE ROMAN LEGIONNAIRE FIGURES?
OF WHAT? OH, THE SOLDIERS.
WELL, THEY'VE BEEN BIG SELLERS EVER SINCE THAT "GLADIATOR" FILM.
MOM, THAT WAS 10 YEARS AGO
AND WE'VE HARDLY SOLD ANY FROM THE LAST ORDER
OR THE ONE BEFORE THAT.
WELL, THEN WE'RE ALL STOCKED UP, AREN'T WE?
WE'RE NEVER GONNA GET THIS STORE BACK ON ITS FEET
IF WE DON'T START CHANGING UP THE INVENTORY.
- WITH WHAT? - I DON'T KNOW,
SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE SOME TRANSFORMER STUFF.
THAT'S JUNK YOU CAN BUY AT TARGET. WE ARE A SPECIALTY STORE.
YOU KNOW, YOU KEEP MAKING EXCUSES, MOM,
BUT WE NEED THAT JUNK TO BRING THE YOUNGER CUSTOMERS IN.
- WHY ARE YOU BEING SO HOSTILE? - [ sighs ]
- FORGET IT. - NO, I TOLD YOU
THAT IF YOU DIDN'T FEEL WELL, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO COME IN.
- I FEEL GREAT. - WELL, YOU COULD'VE FOOLED ME.
- YOU'VE BEEN GRUMPY ALL DAY. - MOM, LET'S DROP IT.
YOU KNOW THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS HAVEN'T BEEN ALL THAT EASY FOR ME.
I MEAN, THE STORE IS VANDALIZED,
YOU'RE BEATEN WITHIN AN INCH OF YOUR LIFE.
HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED TO THINK ABOUT
- HOW THAT MAKES ME FEEL? - NO, I DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT
BECAUSE YOU KEEP REMINDING ME EVERY SECOND.
DON'T YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME.
YOU HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT SELFISH, BO,
AND I AM TIRED OF IT.
DO YOU EVER STOP AND THINK ABOUT THIS STORE?
THIS STORE THAT YOUR FATHER BUILT--
- LEAVE HIM OUT OF IT! - HE PUT EVERYTHING HE HAD INTO THIS STORE.
BO, WHEN I'M DEAD, YOU'RE GONNA SELL IT, AREN'T YOU?
- NO, I NEVER SAID THAT. - YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
- [ mutters ] - I KNOW YOU HATE THIS PLACE. I KNOW YOU HATE ME.
I'M SO GLAD YOUR FATHER'S NOT ALIVE--
SHUT THE FUCKUP, YOU BITCH!
[ bell dings ]
[ blues music playing ]
NICE SCENERY. [ chuckles ]
Owen: THAT'S ALL IT IS, MAN.
THAT VIEW IN THE DISTANCE
100 MILES FROM HERE.
[ whispering ] I CAN'T DO IT, MAN.
I'VE GIVEN IT A LOT OF THOUGHT.
THERE'S JUST NO WAY.
I CAME BY HERE THINKING THAT I COULD FIND A WAY
TO FIND CASSIE'S KILLER.
I CAN'T WALK OUT OF HERE HAVING TAKEN YOUR LIFE.
I MEAN WHAT YOU'RE ASKING,
IT'S JUST-- IT'S TOO HEAVY A BURDEN.
I'M NOT ASKING FOR ME.
THINK ABOUT SUZY,
ABOUT HER WATCHING ME DIE BY INCHES.
IT'S NOT GONNA BE PRETTY.
YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF OWE HER.
OH, PLEASE, OWEN,
YOU'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND.
OH, I DO. I GET IT,
AND I CAN'T SAY I'M ALL THAT SURPRISED.
YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN A REAL DISAPPOINTMENT TO ME.
[ bell rings ]
MOM?
MOM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DRINKING BEER. DID YOU SHOOT FOR THIS STUFF?
I DON'T CARE.
MOM, ANSWER ME. ALL THIS CHOCOLATE--
DID YOU SHOOT FOR IT? DID YOU TAKE YOUR INSULIN?
I'LL BE GONE AND YOU CAN SELL THE STORE.
YOU CAN FINALLY SELL YOUR FATHER'S STORE
HOW MANY CARBS DID YOU EAT, MOM?
37 CARBS.
37 PLUS 27-- JESUS, MOM.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH INSULIN TO GIVE YOU.
27.
DO YOU WANT THE GOOD NEWS OR THE BAD NEWS?
THE GOOD NEWS, PLEASE.
WELL, I SHOULD ADD THAT THE BAD NEWS
CAN ACTUALLY TRANSFORM INTO GOOD NEWS.
I'M READY. GO AHEAD.
THE BAD NEWS. WE BOTH KNEW THAT
THIS WAS JUST GONNA BE A SHORT TRIP FOR ME
AND UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE TO HEAD BACK TO LONDON EARLY, BUT...
I'D LIKE YOU TO COME WITH ME.
IT CAN JUST BE A VACATION.
IT COULD BE A SHORT STAY,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU FIND OUT HOW ANNOYING I AM ON MY HOME TURF.
OR IT COULD BE A MUCH LONGER STAY
IF THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS OUT.
YOU NEVER KNOW, RIGHT?
WOW.
YOU NEVER KNOW, YEAH.
THIS SHOULDN'T BE YOUR LIFE, INEZ.
YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE THAN THIS.
AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT,
THEN JUST STAY AND I'LL NEVER ASK YOU AGAIN.
THAT'S NOT TRUE. I'LL PROBABLY CALL EVERY DAY AND BEG,
BUT-- YOU KNOW.
COME WITH ME.
[ chatting ]
AND THEN AFTER THINGS DIDN'T WORK OUT WITH ERIC
THERE WAS ROGER, AN ACCOUNTANT.
- AN ACCOUNTANT. - YES.
- WOW. SOUNDS LIKE A FIRECRACKER. - [ both laugh ]
- HEY, ROGER WAS A NICE GUY. - I'M KIDDING.
I LOVE ROGER. COME ON.
WHEN I COME TO THINK OF IT, HE WASN'T THAT BORING.
HE HAD A REAL THING FOR FEET.
- FOR FEET, HUH? - MM-HMM.
- WHAT, HIS OR YOURS? - MINE.
- THANK GOD. - OH, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
- ARE YOU INTO FEET? - HUH.
NO, I'M SAYING I'M KIND OF INTO A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING.
- OH, REALLY? - WHAT? THAT'S NORMAL.
- NOT WEIRD STUFF. - [ laughing ]
YEAH, THIS WHOLE DATING-NORMAL-GUYS THING--
THEY'RE DEFINITELY A STEP UP FROM WHAT I USED TO DATE.
- MM-HMM. - BUT, I DON'T KNOW,
- IT ALWAYS FEELS LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING MISSING. - I GET IT. YEAH.
HEADY EXCITEMENT-- YOU MISS THAT. I UNDERSTAND.
THAT'S TOTALLY WACKED OUT, ISN'T IT?
NO, NOT AT ALL. NOT AT ALL.
A BOOST OF ADRENALINE-- THAT'S A TOUGH THING TO GIVE UP.
SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU'RE SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE.
- IT DOES, HUH? - MM-HMM.
YEAH, MAYBE.
HEY.
I'M SORRY. IT'S PROBABLY TOO SOON
- TO BE TALKING ABOUT PAST RELATIONSHIPS. - NO, YOU'RE OKAY. TRUST ME.
I TEND TO TELL PEOPLE EVERYTHING.
WELL, YOUR STORIES ACTUALLY MADE ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT MYSELF.
- YEAH? - YEAH.
LOOK, I'LL BE HONEST. I'VE HAD MY FAIR SHARE OF TWISTED RELATIONSHIPS.
- I MEAN, HAVEN'T WE ALL? - YES.
I THINK THAT'S WHY I MARRIED AMY.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? THERE WAS NO MIND GAMES,
NO DRAMA. SHE WAS DIFFERENT.
LOOKING BACK, I NOW SEE THAT IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
BEFORE I MESSED THINGS UP. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
COMPLETELY.
OKAY, WE HAVE TO STOP.
I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE A TOAST.
OKAY.
- TO US... - UH-HUH.
- ...BECAUSE WE'RE AMAZING. - [ chuckles ] YES, WE ARE.
TO FUCKED UP PEOPLE,
OUR OWN WORST ENEMIES.
- I WILL DRINK TO THAT. SALUT. - SALUT.
I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING STUPID THIS TIME, KENNY.
I LIKE YOU,
[ both moaning ]
[ beeping ]
THERE'S A CAFETERIA ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
- I'M SORRY. WHAT? - THERE'S A CAFETERIA ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
YOU'VE BEEN SITTING HERE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.
I FIGURED YOU MIGHT BE HUNGRY OR WANT SOMETHING TO DRINK.
- I'M GOOD. - JUST SO YOU KNOW,
THIS KIND OF THING HAPPENS A LOT--
ACCIDENTALLY MISCALCULATING AN INSULIN DOSE.
I READ THE CHART.
I SAW THAT YOU OVERDID YOUR MOM'S INSULIN SHOT.
I JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD HEAR THAT IT'S A COMMON MISTAKE.
THANKS.
IT'S JUST THAT YOU LOOKED REALLY WORRIED.
I WAS.
I AM,
BUT THAT HELPS.
- BO. - HEY, MOM.
- I'M RIGHT HERE. - WHAT HAPPENED?
YOU'RE AT THE HOSPITAL, BUT EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE OKAY.
YOU'RE GONNA BE OKAY.
I'M SORRY, MOM,
BUT I'M HERE WITH YOU NOW.
I'M ALWAYS GONNA BE HERE WITH YOU.
[ crickets chirping ]
OH, SHIT!
FUCK THIS SHIT.
OH, MOTHERFUCKER CHICKEN.
- GOD DAMN IT! - HEY.
YOU ALWAYS DID CUSS LIKE A SAILOR. [ chuckles ]
I'M A LITTLE UPSET THAT I RUINED DINNER.
OOH. YOU DON'T HAPPEN TO HAVE ANY PASTA LAYING AROUND, DO YOU?
DON'T TELL ME YOU STILL MAKE THAT FUCKING GARLIC SAUCE.
WELL, NOW YOU USED TO SAY YOU LOVED IT.
AND BESIDES, IT KEEPS ALL THE VAMPIRES--
YEAH, IT KEEPS THE VAMPIRES AWAY
AND ANYONE WHO GOT WITHIN 10' OF YOU.
I KNOW. I REMEMBER.
A LOT OF MEMORIES, HUH?
YEAH. I'VE SPENT SO MUCH OF MY LIFE
TRYING TO FORGET THEM.
[ Owen thuds ] SUZY!
OH MY GOD. OWEN!
[ shower running ]
- GOD DAMN IT. HELP ME UP. - [ shower stops ]
JUST GET ME ON MY FEET, MAN.
[ all grunting ]
OH YEAH. I'M COMING.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
SHOULDER. THERE YOU GO.
I'VE GOT YOU.
OKAY OKAY. HERE WE ARE.
OKAY OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
WE'VE GOT IT. IT'S RIGHT HERE.
IT'S JUST A LITTLE FURTHER. HERE YOU GO.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
- OVER HERE. - [ grunting ]
OH MY GOD.
- OH. - OH, FOR FUCK'S SAKE.
THIS IS GETTING TEDIOUS.
- [ laughing ] - OKAY.
FIRST NIGHT IN LONDON, THE SKY'S THE LIMIT. WHAT'S YOUR WISH?
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER RIGHT AWAY. GIVE IT SOME THOUGHT.
OH, AND IT MUST INVOLVE ME.
I WANT TO STAY IN. I WANT TO ORDER TAKEOUT
FROM YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT,
LAY AROUND ALL NIGHT AND WATCH MOVIES.
I DID SAY THE SKY'S THE LIMIT, RIGHT?
THAT'S THE PERFECT FIRST NIGHT FOR ME.
THAT'S WHAT I WANT.
I LOVE IT.
I'LL PULL THE NECESSARY STRINGS
AND SEE IF I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.
I CAN'T WAIT.
[ bones crack ]
[ Inez laughs ]
- I ATE TOO MUCH. - I TOTALLY AGREE.
IT WAS IF YOU'D BEEN STARVED FOR DAYS.
- [ laughs ] SHUT UP. - [ rock music playing on radio ]
NO, YOU SORT OF WOBBLED OUT OF THE RESTAURANT.
I THOUGHT YOU HAD TOO MUCH WINE, BUT THEN I REALIZED
YOU'D JUST EATEN YOURSELF OFF-BALANCE.
WHAT? BE CAREFUL. I MIGHT JUST CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT THIS TRIP.
I HAD TO WARN THE TABLE NEXT TO US,
BECAUSE I SAW YOU EYEING THEIR DESSERTS.
- I SAW YOU. - [ thumps ]
- INEZ, ARE YOU OKAY? - YEAH, I THINK SO.
- WHAT HAPPENED? - I'M NOT SURE.
OH MY GOD. I HIT SOMEONE.
- WHERE ARE YOU GOING? - I HAVE TO GO CHECK ON HIM.
KIERAN, YOU'VE BEEN DRINKING. THIS COULD BE REALLY BAD.
WELL, WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE.
WE'LL DRIVE UP THE ROAD AND CALL THE POLICE FROM A PAYPHONE.
OH MY GOD. I'M SO SORRY. I'M SO SORRY.
DON'T MOVE. DON'T MOVE.
I'M GONNA CALL THE COPS, OKAY?
THEY'LL BE HERE IN JUST A SECOND.
- DON'T MOVE. PLEASE STOP MOVING. - FUCK.
[ knocks on door ]
YEAH?
HEY.
I HEARD SUZY RUSTLING AROUND DOWNSTAIRS,
SO I THOUGHT I'D COME UP HERE AND SEE HOW YOU'RE DOING.
WELL, I'M STANDING.
I GUESS THAT'S SOMETHING.
[ whispering ] I'LL DO IT.
OWEN, I'LL HELP YOU GO.
TOMORROW MORNING.
EARLY SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT.
THAT'S IT? THAT'S ALL YOU'RE GONNA SAY?
YOU'D PREFER THE AFTERNOON?
YOU KNEW I'D SAY YES ALL THE TIME, DIDN'T YOU?
I WOULDN'T HAVE ASKED YOU OTHERWISE.
IT TOOK A LITTLE LONGER THAN I THOUGHT IS ALL.
BOY, IT'S TOO BAD THAT I'VE SOBERED UP
BECAUSE I SURE COULD USE A FUCKING DRINK.
YEAH.
[ police radio chatter ]
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
- [ sighs ] - KIERAN.
HE'S GONNA BE FINE.
THERE'S ONLY A FEW MINOR INJURIES.
I PASSED THE BREATHALYZER,
SO I JUST NEED TO SORT IT OUT WITH MY INSURANCE.
WELL, THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT HE'S OKAY.
WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?
THERE'S A LOT OF PAPERWORK.
COULD YOU PUT THE HEAT ON FOR A MINUTE? I'M COLD.
SURE.
NOW THAT YOU'VE CLEARED THIS FIRST HURDLE, SETH, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
WELL, WE GO FOR THE REGIONAL PLANNING DEPARTMENT
AND FILE A PLANNED-COMMUNITY APPLICATION.
AMAZING. SO THIS CITY IS REALLY HAPPENING?
- YES, IT'S REALLY HAPPENING, CONNIE. - WELL, LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM.
I'M TALKING ABOUT YOUR INSPIRATION FOR THIS PROJECT.
I think a lot of people in this town are all asking the same question.
I MEAN, WHERE DID YOU GET THE IDEA?
BECAUSE, REALLY, THIS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE.
ONE MINUTE YOU'RE BUYING AN N.F.L. FRANCHISE,
AND THE NEXT YOU'RE TAKING ON ONE OF THE GREATEST SOCIAL DILEMMAS OF OUR TIME.
WELL, LET'S JUST SAY THAT MY PRIORITIES HAVE SHIFTED.
WELL, SETH, WHAT'S BEEN WIDELY REPORTED
IS THAT YOU BLACKED OUT FROM AN OVERDOSE OF VICODIN,
AND I UNDERSTAND YOU MISJUDGED YOUR DOSAGE.
BUT MY QUESTION IS: DID THAT EXPERIENCE HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR DECISION TO DO THIS?
WELL, WHEN YOU GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR OWN MORTALITY,
IT'S BOUND TO HAVE AN EFFECT. BUT YOU KNOW, CONNIE,
I REALLY DIDN'T COME HERE TO TALK ABOUT MYSELF.
I'M HERE TO PUT TO REST ANY QUESTIONS
THERE MIGHT BE ABOUT THE VIABILITY OF THIS PROJECT.
WELL, WHAT HASN'T BEEN REPORTED,
AND WHAT A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE HAS CONFIRMED TO ME,
IS THAT YOU ACTUALLY CLAIM THAT GOD CAME TO YOU IN A VISION
AND TOLD YOU TO BUILD THIS CITY. IS THAT TRUE?
Seth: LIKE I SAID, I'M NOT REALLY HERE TO TALK ABOUT ME.
- WE DO ENOUGH OF THAT AT HOME. - THEN YOU'RE NOT DENYING IT.
BECAUSE YOU'RE CALLING THIS CITY BYZANTIUM--
WHICH I THINK IS INTERESTING,
SINCE, HISTORICALLY, THE ORIGINS OF THAT CITY
WHICH WE NOW CALL ISTANBUL
CAME ABOUT FROM A PROPHETIC VISION.
I LIKE THE NAME. IT FITS.
WELL, WE HAVE TO GO TO A COMMERCIAL.
WHEN WE COME BACK, I WILL BE TALKING MORE WITH SETH
ON WHETHER OR NOT GOD IS THE ARCHITECT BEHIND BYZANTIUM,
HIS CITY FOR THE HOMELESS.
NO, WE WON'T.
I GAVE YOU AN EXCLUSIVE,
NOT PERMISSION TO BLINDSIDE ME.
WELL, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT, MR. BLANCHARD,
A WHITEWASH? IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN I'M OFFENDED.
OH, YOU'RE OFFENDED?
I AGREED TO APPEAR ON A SERIOUS NEWS PROGRAM
AND TALK TO TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN NEED
WHO DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHERE MY INSPIRATION COMES FROM.
YOU DIDN'T JUST DEAL ME A BLOW, CONNIE.
YOU KICKED ALL OF THEM RIGHT IN THE BALLS.
SLEEP WELL TONIGHT.
LET'S GO. LET'S GO.
Andrea: WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, SETH?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? NOTHING'S CHANGING.
IT JUST MAKES IT A HELL OF A LOT HARDER. THAT'S ALL.
YOU BOYS MISSED A HELL OF A SUNRISE.
IT'S GONNA BE A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
I KNOW.
YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING I'D TAKE THE CITY BOY HERE
OVER TO THE COTTONWOOD GROVE,
SHOW HIM THAT THE VIEW FROM MULHOLLAND HAS GOT NOTHING ON US.
I'M GLAD YOU TWO KISSED AND MADE UP.
WELL, CAN I PACK YOU A LUNCH?
NO, I HAVE EVERYTHING WE NEED RIGHT HERE.
THOUGH I WOULD LIKE A KISS FOR THE ROAD.
OF COURSE.
GOODNESS, BEN.
YOU CAN TAKE MY HUSBAND ANYWHERE, ANYTIME,
AS LONG AS I GET A GOODBYE LIKE THIS.
[ chuckles ]
HEY.
ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH YEAH.
YOU KNOW HOW I AM THESE DAYS.
THE LITTLEST THINGS GET TO ME.
ARE YOU SURE?
- 'CAUSE YOU SEEM-- - IT'S JUST
THE WAY THE LIGHT'S HITTING YOU.
- OH. - IT'S ANGELIC, YOU KNOW?
YOU KNOW, THERE'S-- THIS PLACE HERE
I THINK RENTS ROOMS BY THE HOUR,
- SO IF YOU GUYS WANT TO GET IT TOGETHER-- - ALL RIGHT, SOLDIERS.
GO OUT, CONQUER NATURE
AND I'LL HAVE YOUR DINNER READY WHEN YOU COME HOME.
AYE AYE, CAPTAIN.
- I'LL SEE YOU. - OH, BEN BEN BEN,
YOU KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.
IF HE STARTS TO GET TIRED,
I WANT YOU TO BRING HIM BACK RIGHT AWAY.
JERRY, YOU'RE THE MAYOR OF LOS ANGELES.
NOBODY IS STOPPING YOU FROM MAKING THIS STATEMENT.
DO YOU WANT TO SUPPORT ME?
YOU THINK I'M CRAZY? FINE, TELL IT TO THE PRESS.
SON OF A BITCH.
AND TO THINK I HELPED THAT WEASELLY MOTHERFUCKER GET ELECTED.
BILL HARRIMAN IS SO DESPERATE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU,
- HE'S STARTED CALLING ME NOW. - DON'T TAKE HIS CALLS.
SETH, HE'S YOUR PUBLICIST.
- HE NEEDS TO MAKE A STATEMENT TO THE PRESS. - I TOLD HIM
I DON'T WANT HIM TO SAY A THING.
THE MEDIA IS BLOWING THIS ALL OUT OF PROPORTION.
I DON'T WANT TO FEED THEIR FRENZY, AND I TOLD HIM TO QUOTE ME ON THAT.
SETH, THEY'RE NEVER GONNA LET IT DIE DOWN NOW.
I THINK YOU NEED TO TAKE A BREAK.
JUST PUT ALL OF THIS ON HOLD FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
I CAN'T DO THAT, MAGGIE.
THE PERCEPTION OF ME AS A RELIGIOUS FANATIC IS GONNA MAKE THIS MUCH HARDER.
I'VE GOTTA FIND A WAY TO SPIN THIS.
I CAN'T-- I CAN'T WATCH YOU GO THROUGH THIS.
SETH, PEOPLE ARE LAUGHING AT YOU.
LET' EM. I'LL GET 'EM BACK.
I JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN UP ON ME, MAGGIE.
OF COURSE NOT.
[ bell rings ]
OH, HEY. IT'S LILY, RIGHT?
- HI. - WHAT BRINGS YOU DOWN HERE?
I BROUGHT SOME LITERATURE
ON INSULIN PUMPS FOR YOUR MOM.
YEAH, THE DOCTOR TALKED TO US ABOUT THAT.
YEAH, I KNOW, BUT THE DOCTORS DON'T USUALLY TAKE THE TIME
TO MAKE A GOOD PITCH. THERE REALLY ARE SOME ADVANTAGES.
MY MOM DIDN'T REALLY GO FOR IT.
[ stammers, chuckles ]
THANKS FOR THE HOUSE CALL.
YEAH.
UM, THERE'S ACTUALLY ANOTHER REASON I CAME DOWN HERE.
I NEED TO GET A BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR MY NEPHEW.
WELL, I THINK WE CAN HANDLE THAT.
- WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? - NOT SURE.
- WELL, WHAT IS HE INTO? - BESIDES VIDEO GAMES AND HIS iPHONE, NOT A LOT.
I THOUGHT MAYBE IT'D BE GOOD TO GET HIM SOMETHING
- A LITTLE MORE CONSTRUCTIVE. - ALL RIGHT.
WELL, WE HAVE PLANES, TRAINS, CARS...
A LOT OF MILITARY STUFF--
THE CIVIL WAR, WORLD WAR I AND II.
I TAKE IT HE'S NOT MUCH OF A HISTORY BUFF.
- DEFINITELY NOT. - AH! YOU KNOW WHAT?
I HAVE JUST THE THING.
- HERE YOU GO. - A RACE CAR.
I MEAN, IT'S EASY TO PUT TOGETHER.
IT SHOULDN'T TAKE HIM MUCH TIME, SO--
TAILOR-MADE FOR THE SHORT ATTENTION SPAN.
- I'LL TAKE IT. - ALL RIGHT.
SO ARE YOU INTO ALL THIS,
THE MODEL AIRPLANES AND MILITARY STUFF?
YEAH. I MEAN, WHEN I WAS A KID.
IT'S KIND OF THE FAMILY BUSINESS. IT WAS MY DAD'S SHOP
AND I CAME HERE TO WORK TO HELP MY MOM AFTER HE DIED.
- [ bell rings ] - MRS. OLINVILLE.
LILY FROM THE HOSPITAL.
OH, OF COURSE.
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE FEELING MUCH BETTER.
MUCH, THANK YOU.
- HERE YOU GO. - [ coins jingle ]
GREAT.
- THANKS FOR THE HELP, BO. - YEAH, NO PROBLEM.
- [ bell rings ] - AND WHAT DID SHE WANT?
A PRESENT FOR HER NEPHEW.
SHE ALSO WANTED TO DROP OFF SOME INFO
ON SOME INSULIN PUMPS.
NOW I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T WANT THAT.
THOSE PEOPLE CAN BE SO PUSHY.
SHE'D PROBABLY EVEN GET A COMMISSION IF SHE SOLD ONE.
MOM, SHE'S JUST TRYING TO HELP.
LILY SEEMS LIKE A NICE GIRL.
TRUST ME. WOMEN LIKE THAT ALWAYS HAVE AGENDAS.
- OH. OH. - OWEN.
[ exhales ]
THE PAIN MEDICATION'S WEARING OFF.
IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE, MAN.
OKAY.
LET'S DO THIS, HUH?
[ chuckles ]
YOU'D THINK A COMMANDER OF THE ORDER OF ARTS & LETTERS
WOULD HAVE A FINAL STATEMENT FOR POSTERITY.
MMM. IT'S OKAY, MAN.
YOU'VE SAID EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID.
YEAH.
HOW ABOUT
"PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH THE INVISIBLE"?
I LIKE IT.
OKAY OKAY OKAY OKAY OKAY OKAY.
AH. ARE YOU OKAY, MAN?
OH, MAN. OH.
IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.
JUST... LET IT GO.
JUST LET IT GO.
[ mutters ]
JUST LET IT GO, MAN.
JUST LET IT GO.
[ sizzles ]
HEY. YOU DIDN'T RETURN ANY OF MY CALLS.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
- TELL YOU WHAT? - OH, I DON'T KNOW.
THAT YOUR BOSS IS OFF HIS ROCKER.
SETH IS NOT CRAZY, TESS, ALL RIGHT?
- THE MEDIA BLEW THAT WHOLE THING UP. - REALLY?
- YEAH. - OKAY, TRY TELLING THAT
TO TOM HAYNES, FIRST HARVEST
OR ANY OF THE OTHER COMMUNITY LEADERS I RALLIED TO SUPPORT SETH.
MY CREDIBILITY IS NOW SHOT
BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T FILL ME IN ON THIS LITTLE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.
PIECE OF THE PUZZLE?
TESS, CONFIDENTIALITY IS A BIG PART OF MY JOB. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME THROWING THEIR SUPPORT BEHIND A GUY
WHO BASES BILLION-DOLLAR DECISIONS
- ON RECEIVING MESSAGES FROM ON HIGH. - JESUS CHRIST.
YOU KNOW WHAT? GOD SHMOD.
THAT CITY IS GONNA GET BUILT.
ALL RIGHT? SETH IS GONNA MAKE IT HAPPEN.
I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT. I GUESS WE'LL SEE.
BUT UNTIL THEN I HAVE TO DO WHAT'S BEST
FOR THE HOMELESS IN THIS CITY.
I CAN'T SUPPORT HIM.
WELL, THAT'S WHERE IT GETS HARD FOR ME,
'CAUSE I'VE GOT THE MAN'S BACK 100%.
SO IT SEEMS WE HAVE A PROBLEM THEN.
IT APPEARS TO BE, YEAH.
I GUESS THAT'S IT.
I GUESS SO.
HEY, COME HERE. COME HERE.
[ giggles ]
[ truck approaches ]
- [ engine stops ] - [ door opens, closes ]
WHERE'S OWEN?
WHERE'S OWEN, BEN?
YOU SON OF A BITCH!
YOU JEALOUS BASTARD!
IT SHOULD'VE BEEN YOU!
[ sobbing ]
[ jazz music playing ]
DIDN'T WE ALREADY SAY GOODBYE?
DIDN'T I TELL YOU I MIGHT COME BACK?
YEAH, BUT YOU SAID A WEEK, NOT 24 HOURS.
WELL, HE WASN'T WHO I THOUGHT HE WAS.
SORRY, INEZ.
IT'S OKAY. I'M FINE.
SO DO YOU HAVE A CLIENT FOR ME OR WHAT?
- [ siren blaring ] - [ people chatting ]
I CAN FIND OUT WHO THE LEAK IS.
YOU'VE JUST GOTTA GIVE ME THE WORD.
I DON'T KNOW THAT IT MATTERS.
WHAT CONNIE REVEALED WAS THE TRUTH.
IT WAS GONNA COME OUT AT SOME POINT.
NOW IT'S UP TO THE PUBLIC TO DECIDE IF THEY THINK,
MAYBE RIGHTFULLY SO, THAT I'M CERTIFIABLE.
WELL, I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT, SETH,
THE PERSON WHO DID THIS IS A FUCKING SNAKE.
ALL RIGHT? THEY DID IT FOR MONEY
OR THEY DID IT TO BRING YOU DOWN, BUT EITHER WAY THEY SET YOU UP.
I CAN'T HAVE THIS. YOU CAN'T HAVE THIS.
YOU'VE GOTTA GET RID OF 'EM.
THAT'S MY 2¢, ANYWAY.
ALL RIGHT, DO IT. SMOKE THE FUCKER OUT,
BUT DO IT QUIETLY.
- AND KENNY? - YEAH?
DON'T BE WRONG.
OH, THANK YOU.
BO.
LILY. HEY. I DIDN'T SEE YOU.
I COME HERE ALL THE TIME ON MY BREAK.
I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU HERE BEFORE.
YOUR MOM'S NOT BACK IN THE HOSPITAL, IS SHE?
OH, NO NO, SHE'S OKAY.
OH, I-- I HAVEN'T GIVEN IT TO HIM YET.
I HAD TO GET MY CAFFEINE FIX.
- [ chuckles ] - YEAH.
I SHOULD PROBABLY GET BACK.
IT WAS REALLY GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
YEAH, IT WAS-- IT WAS NICE TO SEE YOU TOO.
- OKAY. BYE. - I'LL SEE YOU.
I-- I KNOW THIS IS GONNA SOUND WEIRD,
BUT THIS WAS A COINCIDENCE, RIGHT?
[ chuckles ]
IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL ANY BETTER,
MY NEPHEW'S BIRTHDAY ISN'T FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS.
[ chuckles ] OH GOD.
I REALLY SUCK AT THIS, DON'T I?
I'M KIND OF FLATTERED YOU CAME ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE.
I HAVE SOME TIME. WANNA GRAB A CUP OF COFFEE?
YEAH, I'D LIKE THAT.
OKAY.
[ distant sirens ]
Man's voice: THIS JUST PROVES MY POINT--
THE MORE MONEY YOU HAVE, THE CRAZIER YOU BECOME.
- Woman: SO MONEY CORRUPTS? - [ overlapping voices ]
Man: THE GUY SAID GOD TOLD HIM TO BUILD A CITY FOR THE HOMELESS.
Woman #2: THIS ISN'T GOOD PRESS. THIS IS GONNA DESTROY HIS REPUTATION.
HE'LL NEVER GET THIS PROJECT OFF THE GROUND NOW.
Woman #2: IF YOU TALK TO GOD, YOU'RE RELIGIOUS.
IF GOD TALKS TO YOU, YOU'RE INSANE.
Man #2: SORRY, I CAN'T MAKE IT.
I'M ON DEADLINE FOR THIS BYZANTIUM STORY.
Woman #3: DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS HOMELESS CITY?
- Man #3: WHAT? - Woman #3: BYZANTIUM,
THE HOMELESS CITY GOD TOLD SETH BLANCHARD TO BUILD HERE IN LOS ANGELES?
Man #3: OH YEAH, THAT. HE'S A FLAKE.
THE CITY DOESN'T WANT A HOMELESS CITY.
WE WANTED A FOOTBALL STADIUM.
