All language subtitles for Suits L.A. (2025) S01E12 Angry Sylvester 1080p AMZN WEB-DL DDP5 1 H 264-Kitsune.en

Previously on "Suits LA"...

If you're gonna have a career
as a writer,

it's dedicating your life
to it.

Yeah?

We were approached by
a writer for representation.

We have a conflict.
- Ezra Bridger.

If your friend is hiding
behind a pen name,

deep down, he knows
he doesn't have what it takes.

It was the Yankees game.

It was the greatest day
of his life.

He even took a picture of us
and added a frame.

His father's on trial
and he doesn't know?

He got convicted.

- I missed you.
- I missed you too.

I wanna be with you.

If you don't wanna be with me,

I think we just need to stay
away from each other.

When you told me
about Adam Driver,

the vet had just called and
told me they put Katniss down.

So you could've come with me?

A person can't just turn off
their feelings, Erica.

No, you don't turn them off,
you put them on hold,

and you get the job done.

She wants you to take
an anger management course.

But Bowie
threatened my family.

I need your help.
I don't know what to do.

I got you.

Stuart's struggling.

He needs some time off.

You still think of him
as a brother, don't you?

Turns out I do.

Rick?

Why are you calling me at...
6:00 in the morning?

I had some work
to catch up on,

so I came to the office early.

Look, I read one
of the scripts you gave me.

Gotta say,
it's pretty damn good.

One of which scripts?

Ezra Bridger's.

You thought it was good?

Wha--I don't understand.

You said Ezra didn't have
what it takes.

I know what I said.
Just do me a favor.

Tell him I'd like
to meet with him.

Let me reach out to him
and get back to you.

♪ I been working so hard

♪ I'm punching my card

♪ Eight hours, for what

♪ Oh, tell me what I got

♪ I got this feeling

♪ That time's just
holding me down ♪

Oh.

What brings you here
this hour of the morning?

Well, I have a 7:00 a.m.
call, and I remembered you said

you get in early, so, you know,
took a chance you'd be here.

Did you wanna discuss

your upcoming press dates?

I'd rather discuss
your "Footloose" dance.

What dance?

I wasn't dancing.
I wasn't even here.

I'm not even here right now.

No, seriously.

It must be important
if you're here this early.

I wanna talk about what's next
after my Warner Brothers deal.

I already know what's next.

You wanna use your new profile

to go after projects
you've been

wanting to do your whole life.

How can you know that?

It's my job to know that.

Well, I hope you're ready

because I'm about to show you
the real me.

Larry McMurtry.

Most people are surprised
that I'm a fan.

But my mom and I used
to read it together, and I--

I fell in love.

Strong woman living
on the Western frontier,

making her way
against all odds?

You think
it's a stretch for me?

I think it is you.

Well, I just found out that
there's a script in the works,

and the producer is already
looking for a director.

Well, I'm gonna make
their day,

because they might be looking
for a director,

but I just found their star.

Thanks, Rick.

You know, in "Footloose,"
he actually takes

his shirt off
to do the barn dance.

Then I guess I'll never do
the "Footloose" barn dance.

Too bad.

You know what today is?

Of course.

How could I forget?

It was the best day
of your life.

You, me, and Dad.

Yankees even won.

I wish we could
do that again.

Samantha.

What are those?

Soft pretzels.

You remembered.

Of course I did.

He talked about
that day so much,

you'd have thought
it was his birthday.

It's how birthdays
should be.

I guess that's why he always
wanted to celebrate it.

He'd be 45 now.

I miss him too.

Come on.

This cart is mine.

I don't see how it could be
because my hand is on it.

My suitcase is about to be.

Put your suitcase there,
we're gonna have a problem.

Here's what's gonna happen.
You're gonna wait here.

You're gonna get yourself
a fruity little welcome drink.

I'm gonna go to my room, and
I'll send this back your way.

You're not sending anything
my way

because I was here first,
and I'm taking it.

No, sir, you are not.

Get the hell out of my face.

I am not in your face.

But I can definitely put
something there,

something hard,
thick, and hairy.

You better not be saying
what I think you are.

I sure as hell am.

My Little Louis
is coming your way.

I don't know what's worse,
that you call your penis

Little Louis
or that you think I'm gonna

let you put it in my face.

I was talking about
my fist, dumbass.

Who would call their penis
Little Louis?

Angry Sylvester
would be furious.

Who the hell
is Angry Sylvester?

My penis! Keep up!

I don't want to!

And you so much as shove
a pinkie in my face,

I will sue your ass
into the ground!

Well, you picked
the wrong guy for that, bucko,

because I happen to be
one of the best

lawyers in the country.

Oh, which country
would that be, Fantasyland?

Because I'm one of the best
lawyers in the country,

and I have no idea who you are.

Oh, well, I'll be happy
to tell you who I am.

My name is Louis goddamn Litt.

And you're about
to get Litt the hell--

Excuse me.

Are you gentlemen
by any chance here

for the hostility
mitigation program?

- What happened?
- Why do you ask?

Just a hunch.

But since you seem
to be getting along so well,

I'll be placing you both
in my session

for the rest of your stay.

Wouldn't have it
any other way.

Sounds lovely.

both: That one's yours.

No!

You're in later than usual.

I had a little something
to take care of.

But if you're here about
your bonus recommendations,

I approved all of them
except for one,

because I don't recall
asking you for a recommendation

for yourself.

Well, I figured if I was
going to do the rest,

I might as well
sit down with myself,

review myself, and decide
that I'm killing it.

That, you are.
So I added 20%.

- Thank you, Ted.
- You deserve it.

Well, if I didn't then,
I definitely do now

'cause I am about to sign
a big new client.

See, now you're talking
my language.

Who is it?
- Nicole Kidman.

That's Samantha's client.

For now.

But she's been
quietly looking around,

and tonight yours truly
is going to seal the deal.

Erica, we are finally back on
good terms with Railsback Lane,

and if we poach
one of their clients,

it's back to square one.

It's not poaching
if the client

was on her way out anyway.

I don't care.

I don't wanna play
the game that way.

It's not a game, Ted.
This is my job.

You want me to pass on this
so you can play nice

with the firm
that screwed us over?

It's more complicated
than that.

I know you and Stuart
go way back.

I know you miss being
on good terms with Rick.

But there is personal,
and there's business.

Erica, I'm asking you
not to do this.

And I'm answering.

Rick Dodson on a studio lot--

that doesn't happen every day.

Well, when Melissa Johnson
is in production,

I know the only place
to find her is on set.

- What brings you here?
- The McMurtry adaptation.

Your lead role has Dylan Pryor
written all over it.

In what language?

McMurtry is a period Western,

and Dylan's never done
anything like it.

Well, I thought you,
of all people,

would sympathize with being
denied your shot

because of
preconceived notions.

Don't play that card with me.

I am not handing out starring
roles to unproven people.

I give you my word.

She'll crush this.

Oh, then let me
throw out every instinct

I have based on your word.

Forget my word, then.

She just finished
Tina Liu's latest indie.

Do you know
how many indie films

I slept through this year?

Melissa, come on.

Rick, she's a pretty girl
who can run and jump,

but she doesn't have
what it takes.

Then let her audition,
and give her

a chance to prove you wrong.

She can audition
till she's blue in the face.

As long as I am
producing this movie,

she's not getting that part.

I'd like to start by saying

we're all here
because we've had trouble

mitigating our hostility.

For God's sake, can we just
call it anger management

one damn time?
- Peter.

All I'm saying is, how many
times do I have to hear

"hostility mitigation"?

How many times
have you heard it?

Peter has been with us
for six years.

I don't think it's working.

Finally, something
we can agree on.

Well, you two clowns
can kiss my--

Peter!

As I was saying, we're here to
get to the root of our anger.

And I'm looking
for a brave volunteer

to say where they think
their hostility comes from.

Pass.

My hostility
stems from the fact

that the entire time
we worked together,

the man who was supposed
to be my best friend

and partner in my law firm
treated me like dirt.

All I ever wanted
was his respect,

but he belittled everything
I did at every turn and--

- Cry me a river.
- What did you just say?

I said if you think
you've been made fun of

by your best friend/law partner
more than me,

you're out
of your freakin' mind.

Mine punched me in the face.

Mine threw me into a table.

Mine made my future wife cry.

Mine slept
with my superhot sister.

Are we talking a nine or ten?
both: Stay out of it!

Called me a flea in front
of the collective leadership

of two firms.

Peed in my ficus tree
16 times.

Shaved half my beard
while I was sleeping.

- Made fun of my mankini.
- What the hell is a mankini?

- Wouldn't you like to know?
- No, I wouldn't.

It's where Angry Sylvester
hangs out with his buddies.

You disgusting
son of a bitch.

That's enough!

Last week, I ran a session

with first responders
from the LA fires

angry at the world for not
appreciating what they have

when families lost everything.

I told them they were wrong,

but I was the one
who was wrong.

And you two, with your
pettiness and your spite,

make me sick!

And who the hell wears a suit
to hostility mitigation?

- Good, you're here.
- I am.

I got my bonus check today.

I know.

I saw the number.

I thought it was pretty good.

I thought so, too,

until Henderson told me
what his was.

Henderson should not
have done that.

It's not about Henderson.

I was bothered by the number
because it reflects

what Erica thinks of me.

I thought I was doing better
than pretty good,

and I wanna tell her.

But you've been
giving me great advice,

and if you think I'm out
of line, I want you to tell me.

My advice would be
not to say anything to Erica.

If you don't think
she values you enough,

let that
light a fire under you.

But I already had
a fire lit under me.

And this bonus
doesn't show that.

And then this morning,
I got a call that--

Leah, what's going on?

Nothing.

I don't need
to tell Erica anything.

This is where I wanna be,
and I know that.

Let me start by saying

I'm sorry I lost my composure.

I'm hoping what happened
doesn't stop you all

from sharing what's going on
inside you.

I was lying.

I'm here because a man
threatened my family.

I didn't wanna talk about it.

But I'm afraid of losing
my wife, of losing my children.

And I feel alone.

And I feel like
I'm going to explode.

I have everything
I've ever wanted.

I am running my own law firm.

I have the most beautiful wife
and two children

that I would do anything for.

But no matter what I do,
it's never enough.

I could be at home,
I could be at work.

I get four hours of sleep
at night.

And whichever thing
I'm tending to,

it feels like I'm letting
the other one down.

And that's why I'm here.
I, uh...

a lawyer made fun of my family,

and I just snapped.

I don't believe this.

I open up to you,
and you're laughing?

I'm not laughing.

I'm understanding.

How old are your kids?

What the hell does that
have to do with it?

I'm guessing they're
about five and two.

How'd you know that?

Because I felt
the exact same way

when I was running my firm
and my kids were that age.

Does it get better?

It does.

The truth is,
the fact you feel that way

means you're not
letting them down.

And I'm sure
you're a wonderful father.

Thank you.

Might I ask what it is
exactly you did when you

snapped at that other lawyer?

What anyone
in my position would do.

I shoved my Little Louis
down his throat.

You put your penis in his--

He means he punched him.

But I understand
the misinterpretation.

What is there
to misinterpret?

Little Louis--
small, thick, and hairy.

1 plus 1 equals 2.

- That tracks to me.
- Peter gets it.

I think that's a great place
to end the session.

I think there were better
places to end the session.

Samantha, is everything okay?

Not a lot of people
know this.

I had auditory processing
issues as a child.

I didn't learn the same way
as other kids.

So I got where I am
by working harder than anyone.

And I'm not looking
to give up an inch.

Why are you telling me this?

I just found out
that Nicole Kidman is in play.

Erica Rollins
is my main competition.

It's not like Erica
to let someone see her coming.

If you're asking
how I found out,

that's not the point.

The point is,
you two were competitors.

And you wanna know
how to beat her.

Erica can make you feel
like you're the only person

in the world that matters.

She can do it like no one else.

That's why she can close
like no one else.

You're saying if Erica
gets Nicole in a room

before I talk to her,
she's as good as gone?

I'm saying,
if you wanna keep Nicole,

don't let Erica
get in a room with her at all.

- Thanks, Rick.
- Mm-hmm.

Leah, I was just about
to call you.

Well, before
you tell me why--

I have an idea.

If Ezra Bridger's script
can be reworked

into a female lead Western,
I can get--

Rick, Ezra's not looking
for representation.

Please stop asking.

You figured out a way
around your conflict

and signed him yourself.

- That's not--
- Leah, it's okay.

You believed in him
before anyone else.

And the only way
you can fight for someone

is if you really
believe in them.

Rick...

I'm Ezra Bridger.

I used a fake name
because I didn't

want you to know it was me.

But it turns out,
I don't wanna be a writer.

And why are you
telling me now?

Because you just talked
about believing in someone

and fighting for them.

And I just realized
the person I believe in

and wanna fight for is me.

Dylan, hey.

Thanks for coming in.

Can I get you anything?
Water, coffee?

Rick, I can tell
you're sugarcoating.

Just tell me.

I spoke with Melissa Johnson.

She said you can
audition, but...

you're not getting the part.

Let me guess.

She said that I don't have
what it takes.

Believe me, I did everything
I could to try to convince her.

But she thinks
I can't carry the weight.

Excuse me, Rick...

Your food's here.

They set it up
in the small conference room.

Thanks, Sydney.

I have to work late tonight.

I ordered in.

What do you say we have dinner
and figure out

what we're gonna do next?

Sure. Why not?

Rosalyn,
do you need something?

Where'd you go earlier?

- For a walk.
- You didn't go very far.

- What are you getting at?
- You know what I'm getting at.

You walked across the courtyard

to warn Samantha
about Nicole Kidman.

All I did was level
the playing field.

That's lovely,
except your job

is to tilt the field
in our direction.

- Look, you don't understand.
- Ted, I know your history.

And if you think I'm opposed to
you making peace with Samantha,

I'm not.

Then what's the problem?

It's one thing
to make peace

and another to undermine
your own people.

And I'm getting tired
of watching you

shoot yourself in the foot
and pretending

like you're not the one
holding the gun.

Hey, Eddie, why don't you
grab a seat over there?

I didn't think you'd come.

I'm here for Eddie.

Because you're using him
to get a lighter sentence.

And having the son
that you abandoned

speak on your behalf
is a new low, even for you.

He wanted to do it.

Because you asked him to.

But he doesn't know what kind
of man you really are.

- Teddy.
- Right there.

Calling me Teddy.

You named your firstborn son
Edward Brooks,

and you wanted them
to call him Teddy,

like they called you Teddy.

But you were ashamed of him.

Then I came along,
and you named me Theodore

so they could call me Teddy.

You took his name
away from him.

Eddie doesn't know that.

But I do.

You mind if I join you?

Please, sit.

I wanted to say I'm sorry.

Me too.

Can I ask you what'd the guy
say about your family

that made you snap?

He called Alice a name.

I can't even tell you what--
it's too disturbing.

You'll never get it anyway.

It rhymes with "runt."

He did what?
No wonder you punched him.

I'd have been furious
if someone

called my daughter that.

Oh, Alice isn't my daughter.

Alice is my cat.

Well, that's a...
slightly different situation.

How so?

Not important.

Hey, you wanna go grab a drink?

You wanna have
a drink with me?

I do.

I have a better idea.

You and I are going
to take mud together.

What do you mean, take mud?

There is nothing
to be afraid of.

You simply let the mud
seep into every orifice

of your body except
your mouth, nose, and ears

but those too.

That's the dumbest thing
I've ever heard.

Well, unless you wanna take
about 87 steps backwards,

we are doing this.

Taking mud it is.

Bathing suits are optional.

No, they're not.

I gotta know, where'd the name
Angry Sylvester come from?

Ah, it's a long story,

but it was either that
or Shivering Larry,

and Shivering Larry was taken.

By who?

My friend, Shivering Larry.

Can you help me
name my penis?

Yeah, sure.
I would say that it's a...

Smooth Bob.

Hey, I've been meaning
to talk to you.

About what?

That Nicole Kidman
had two feet out the door,

I tell you that,
and all of a sudden,

she's staying
with Samantha Railsback?

All I did was tell Samantha
that Nicole was looking around.

What the hell
is wrong with you?

The woman stole half your firm.

I did something to her
years ago, and I still owe her.

And you didn't think that was
something I needed to know?

No, I didn't,
because it's personal.

Well, I've chosen this firm
over my personal life

for years.

I didn't tell you to do that.

Don't you say that to me.

You told me to put
the professional over personal

a thousand times
in a million different ways.

Erica, what do you
want me to say?

There's law, and there's life.

We were supposed
to be partners.

We are partners. Come on.

No. No, we are not partners.

Partners share things
with each other.

All you did was change
the title on my business card.

And if you don't see that,

you might as well
change it back.

You're not alone.

A few years ago,
I was mugged at gunpoint.

Even worse, he then
threatened my fiancée.

So I understand how you feel.

How'd you deal with it?

At first,
I didn't know what to do.

In the end,
there were two people

that got me through it.

But the one I went to when
I first had to tell someone--

Your old partner.

- Yeah.
- It's funny.

My old partner is the one
I went to about this.

And he not only
set this week up...

he saved my life from the guy
who came after me.

Sounds like
a hell of a friend.

He is.

Where you going?
I thought we were mudding.

We'll mud later.

I want to call Harvey
and tell him I miss him.

Wait.
Is your guy Harvey Specter?

- Yes.
- I know that guy.

- Don't say it.
- He's a legend.

Son of a bitch.

Is there no place that I can
get away from him?

You were just
gonna go call him.

That's not the point.

All I'm saying is, my guy
and your guy go way back.

And my guy thinks
your guy's a superhero.

I need a day.

That guy
needs more help than me.

Wait a second.

I thought your parents
were wealthy.

No, my dad worked two jobs,

and my mom picked up shifts
at a diner to help out.

And when they were home,
they pretty much just fought.

And that's how I ended up
in theater.

It was basically like
after-school daycare.

- I had no idea.
- Yeah, that's okay.

And it turned out, from that
first rehearsal, I was hooked.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

What was the part?

Oliver Twist.

- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.

That's what gets me.

You know, Melissa thinks
that if I haven't lived it

that I can't do it.

Well, I was a 12-year-old girl
from Florida

playing an orphaned boy
in London,

and I knew nothing
about his life.

But I knew what it was like
to feel abandoned.

Okay, that's it.

You're auditioning
for the McMurtry movie.

I thought Melissa said
I would never get the part.

That's why you're gonna
audition for somebody else.

Oh, really? Who?

That's a question
for tomorrow.

Today's question is,

who gets the strawberry cupcake
and who gets the red velvet?

No, I have always been
a red velvet girl.

I guess that means
I'll settle for the strawberry.

Wait a second.

You ordered two desserts?

Rick, did you plan this?

I did.

Why?

Because you're my client.
You had a rough day.

And I want you to know
that someone's on your side.

Erica, can I talk
to you for a second?

Leah, I had
a really long day.

I wanna just sit here and--

I'm sorry,
but this can't wait.

We represent Tina Liu
because of me.

We kept Brian Baumgartner
because of me.

And you said it yourself,

we'd still have Dylan Pryor
if you'd listened to me.

And my bonus doesn't
reflect that.

I'm not changing
your bonus, Leah.

- I don't want you to.
- Then what do you want?

I want you to see me
as a partner.

But you're not my partner,

because I give everything
to this place, and you don't.

You're still not
over me choosing

Katniss over Adam Driver.

It's not about you choosing
Katniss over Adam Driver.

It is about you choosing
Katniss over me.

I'm the only one
who dedicates herself.

Well, maybe if you were
a little more like me,

you'd be a little happier.

And for the record,
you're not the only one

who chooses this firm
over other things.

Other things like what?

Like letting go of my dream.

Because Rick offered
to sign me as a writer,

but I turned him down
because I'd rather be here.

And for what?
I don't have an office.

I never interact with Ted.

I'm sick of feeling
uncomfortable in my own skin.

And you say one thing
about valuing me

but show me another, so--

Leah, if you wanna
go be a writer,

then please just go be
a writer.

I don't wanna be a writer.

I just needed
to say all this to you.

And it would be nice
if you actually heard it.

- Ted.
- I want to apologize

for all the years
that I demeaned what you did.

And I'm sorry
that I called you a flea

in front of both of our firms.

We were--we're supposed
to be partners, Stuart,

and partners don't do that
to each other.

Well, I've been thinking
all that means nothing

compared to you
being there for me with Bowie.

Well, we're not
just partners, Stuart.

We're brothers.

Ted...

Please tell me everything's
gonna be okay with Bowie.

It is.

We have guns
to each other's heads.

He'd be crazy to do anything.

He's violent,
but he's not stupid.

I see it.

Thanks, Ted.

Come back soon, you idiot.

Hey, I'm using your
credit card for incidentals.

Hello?

Edward Black, I understand
you have a statement

you'd like to make
on behalf of your father.

I do, Your Honor.

My dad hasn't always been
the best dad.

But I know he loves me
and my little brother.

Even though we're grown up now,
we still need a dad.

He's sorry for what he did.

So please don't take
my dad away for too long.

Mr. Brooks.

My son is right, Your Honor.

I haven't always been
the best father.

But I do love
both of my children.

And whatever sentence you see
fit to give me here today,

when I get out, I'm gonna
try to be the father

that my sons deserve.

In light of that
and considering

your son's statement,

Edward Brooks, I sentence you

to three years in prison
for stock manipulation.

You are to surrender yourself
at noon on Thursday.

Got your message.

You wanted to see me?
- I did.

Maybe you were right
that I shouldn't have

spoken to Samantha.

But you were definitely right
that I should have let you in.

I'm listening.

You don't know this,

but I had a brother

named Eddie.

And I loved him
more than I can say.

Samantha loved him too.

You and Samantha were--

We were.

And our relationship ended

because I became

obsessed with a case.

And I got
one of her clients killed.

And, um...

And I got
my brother killed too.

Yesterday was--
it was the anniversary

of a very special day
with Eddie,

and Samantha remembered.

And then I told you
about Nicole Kidman,

and you couldn't
let that happen

because there's work,
and there's life.

I made the wrong choice
back then, but--

You can learn
from your mistakes.

What?

It's just, the universe
has been trying

to get me
to prioritize the personal.

And it's been two unexpected
people delivering the message.

Me and who else?

The other form
the universe chose

was none other than Leah Power.

Where's this going?

You know how you asked me
to keep her over there?

No.

That ends today.

It can't.

I have a root canal today.
- Ted.

Which reminds me,
can you have Rosalyn schedule

a root canal for me today?

Whatever it is, I'll do it.

Three years is a long time.

It's actually on the lighter
side for what Dad did.

Are you mad at me
for helping Dad?

Eddie, I could never
be mad at you.

Dad.

Eddie, thank you.

I like it
when we're all together.

Yeah, so do I.

It reminds me of the day
we went to the baseball game.

Yeah, well, when I get back,
we can do it again.

Eddie, I'm gonna talk
to Dad for a second, okay?

I'll meet you outside.

All right, look,
I know what you're gonna say,

but please just...

Listen, hmm?

I know you hate me, but don't
you wish I could change?

Of course I do.

Then give me a second chance.

I've been giving you
second chances

since I was ten.

Teddy,
facing prison changes you.

I have no one that cares
about me in my life.

I don't wanna have no one
when I get out.

I have tried to convince
myself you could change

so many times.

And I'm just--

I'm out of times.

Wait. You're--you're right.

I was ashamed of Eddie.

I wish I hadn't been.

But that's the man my father
taught me to be.

He was a hard man,
and I felt about him

the way that you feel about me.

You're trying to be
different from me.

Maybe you can help me
be different from him.

What do you want from me?

I wanna take you and Eddie
out to dinner one time

before I go away.

Okay.

One dinner.

Oh, sorry.

I--I didn't mean to interrupt.

I was--I was told
to be here at this time.

You're not
interrupting, Leah.

You were asked to be here

because this is
your new office.

Am I dreaming?

No, I can't be,

because if I were dreaming,
then I'd be naked,

this would be a meadow, and
you'd be a different person.

I should have
gotten that root canal.

- What?
- You're not dreaming.

I know.
We just went over that.

You made
an impression on Erica.

She made an impression on me.

And this space is now yours.

What?
- Nothing.

It's just that
the windows are nicer

at the main part of the firm.

Are you kidding?

Of course.
Of course I'm kidding.

I love small windows.

- Good.
- Just one thing--

Leah, say another word
and you will not have a desk.

Oh.
- I love it.

Great.
And I'm--I'm glad that I...

will know where to find you.

You're--you're
gonna find me?

No.

He's totally gonna find me.

Rick, what's going on?

Samantha asked for my advice
on how to beat Erica.

Wasn't hard to figure out
you tipped her off

about Nicole Kidman.

Please don't tell me you have
a problem with that too.

I don't.

In fact, I like the idea
of us working together more.

You want me to do something
for you, don't you?

I want you to do something
for the both of us.

I hear you're about to attach
Sean Baker to direct

the McMurtry adaptation.

And how exactly
do you know that?

Oh, please.

Think I forgot all it takes
to bribe Rosalyn

is a spa day at the Peninsula?

The woman has no willpower.

Ted, Dylan Pryor was born
to star in this movie.

I need you to get her
in front of Sean Baker.

Why aren't you
asking me to get her

in front of Melissa Johnson?

Because you're the one
that taught me

when you run into a roadblock,
the only thing to do

is knock it off
the goddamn road.

I did.

I did, in fact, teach you that.

I'm quite the mentor
when you think about it.

Ted, if Sean sparks
to her audition, we all win.

If not, I owe you one.

Yeah.

So will you do it?

No. We'll do it.

Rick, twice in two days.

And I see this time,
you brought backup.

I'm not backup, Melissa.

I'm a Sherman tank,
and you know it.

I don't care what you are.

I'm not casting Dylan Pryor
in my movie.

Then it's not gonna be
your movie much longer.

Get off my set.

We totally can, but...

maybe you forgot that Ted
represents Sean Baker.

And what do you think
is gonna happen when we tell

the studio that the guy
who just won four Oscars

wants off this movie

because he's not getting
what he wants?

And what he wants
is Dylan Pryor.

Train is leaving the station,
Melissa, so get on board

or get run over.

Fine.

If Sean wants her,
he can have her.

That was kind of fun.

Vanquishing a foe
is always fun.

Vanquishing?

- It means winning.
- Yeah, I know what it means.

I also know you miss this.

- You know what I don't miss?
- Hmm?

The sneakers and suit look.

What are you, 12?

I'm old enough to know
that Grandpa Walton

wants his suspenders back.

Suspenders are classic, Rick.

If you were born
in the 1800s.

Fine, I'm 1,000
and you're a toddler.

Do you churn your own butter?

Every damn day.

I have to say,
it's everything

you said it would be.

And the prunie?

Working its magic
as we speak.

One more thing,
have you relaxed your rectum?

- My what, now?
- Your rectum.

People with as much anger as us

tend to hold it
in their rectum.

And it's imperative that you
relax the rectum

so the mud can do its work.

Because as Mahatma Gandhi
once said...

Whatever you're about to say,
I'm 100% sure

Gandhi never said it.

True happiness
springs from the rectum.

Please stop saying "rectum."

Well, I can stop saying it,
but if you don't open

the basement door,
your house of cards

will simply blow away
in the earthquake.

What in God's name
are you talking about?

Just do it.

I get it.

I knew you would.

Listen, I wanna
tell you something.

Back in high school,
I used to hear the popular kids

talk about being
Federale friends.

What's that?

If you were ever thrown
into a Mexican prison,

it's the kind of friend
that you'd call

who'd drop everything
to get you out.

I've only ever had
one of those.

Harvey.

I'd like you to be the other.

But don't take it lightly.

If you accept, we are
Federale friends for life.

I'd be honored.

Me too.

Gracias, mijo.

I don't speak French.

Hey, if Harvey's your
Federale friend,

why did you get so upset

when I said he was friends
with Ted?

Because I hit him.

I get it.

I have to say,
this is beautiful,

even with your tiny windows.

Ted told you?

We're gonna have to work
on how you interact with Ted.

Right.

Thank you so much, Erica.

You really heard me.

Leah, what did you mean
when you said

you were sick of being
uncomfortable in your own skin?

Well, for one, I couldn't
even put my own name

on the scripts I gave to Rick.

I--I was afraid
of what he'd say.

So I hid who I was.

And it's been
going on too long.

What do you--

Leah Power is not
the name I was born with.

When I was little,
kids would make fun of me

because my last name
was different.

And that became
how I saw myself.

So as soon as I turned 18,
I changed my name to Power.

Because you wanted
to feel strong.

Because I wanted to fit in.

My parents used to watch
old episodes of this show

called "Hart to Hart,"
and my favorite character

was Jennifer Hart.

She was an American queen,

and I wanted to be
just like her.

And the woman who played her
was Stefanie Powers.

Powers?

Oh, I didn't like the S.
Let it go.

Anyway, I thought
I was over all that.

But then when I went to put
Leah Power on my scripts,

Ezra Bridger came out.

And I don't wanna be afraid
of being myself anymore.

Well, for what it's worth,
I don't see you that way.

Well, what the hell
do you know?

I was trying something.
- No.

Anyways, what do you say

we have a drink
in my new office?

Why don't you go ahead
and pour?

Leah, what is your real
last name, anyway?

Ho. Leah Ho.

Tough name
for the middle school years.

You have no idea.

You looking
to change it back?

Not at this time.

To Leah Ho.

I said not at this time.

Did you give Leah the office?

I did.

Was it fun?

It was.

Don't tell her.

- Thank you.
- For what?

For always looking out for me
with everyone around here.

Well, you've always
looked out for me.

Aren't I supposed
to do the same?

You are.

And you do.

Is that for me?

Depends.

Do I get an office too?

You know, I wasn't
really thirsty anyway.

Oh, you.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I had my audition
with Sean Baker.

Knocked it out of the park.

He wants to cast me.

Dylan, that is so awesome.

I knew you could do it.
I knew it.

Thank you.

But I never would have
had the chance

if it wasn't for you.

Well, let's face it.

I am the best.

We have a problem.

What's the problem?

I came here
because two seconds

after Sean told me
that I was his choice,

I wanted to celebrate.

Okay.

And the person that I wanna
celebrate with is you.

Me?

I mean, I like celebrating.

Some of my best friends
are celebrations.

Did you have a place
in mind that--

♪ When there's no one
to hold you ♪

♪ I will still hold you down

Dylan, I--

♪ Be the last ones dancing

♪ In the faceless crowd

Sorry, I can't.

♪ When there's no one
to hold you ♪

♪ I will still hold you down

♪ I'll hold you down

♪ Any time
that you will fall ♪

♪ I'll be there
to pick you up ♪

♪ Yeah, I'll hold you down

♪ We'll be
the last ones dancing ♪

♪ When the lights go out

♪ When there's no one
to hold you ♪

Aaron. Aaron!
