MGT says this place belongs to Mel
Castle.

I thought that guy was gone a long time
ago. Who's Mel Castle?

Mel Castle, are you kidding me?

Directed some of the all -time cult
classics.

Barbarian Babes 1 and 2, Final Gasp. I
must have missed him. He did one pretty

good film back in the 80s. Winters Fury,
won some awards.

Amazing use of forced perspective.

Okay, Spielberg, let's check this out.
Neighbor that called it in said it

sounded pretty bad.

Well, you don't have to worry.

So when the call comes from inside the
house, you've got to worry. When it

from Snoopy Valley next door, what you
usually find is a couple of kids

Scream 2 with the surround sound.

Yeah, we'll see.

Who is it?

LAPD, sir. Open the door.

Hang on a minute.

Let me lock up the dog.

Can I help you?

Your neighbor reported a disturbance.

Is everything okay in there? Oh, sure.

We're just rehearsing a scene for my new
film, and Erica here is up for a role.

I guess we got lost in the moment.

Ma 'am, you all right?

Of course.

You sure?

Being in character can get pretty
intense.

Can I talk to you for a moment, sir?

You want to step outside?

Talk in private?

Thanks, but it's not necessary.

You sure? It'll only take a minute.

I'm fine.

Really.

All right, then.

Sorry to disturb you, sir.

Quite all right.

I like your movies.

Oh, thank you very much.

And it's good to know you boys are on
top of things.

Come on, partner. Let's roll.

Milk? Yeah.

Can't believe you're still kicking. Uh,
yeah, but... He's making another one.

These night shifts are killing me. I
haven't stayed up this late since Sherry

was dancing at the dollhouse.

She had a special number to bond Jovi's
dead or alive.

With his cowboy hat and spurs. That was
worth losing sleep on. I've tried

calling Erica a million times and her
cell keeps going to voicemail.

And the weirdest part is that her agent
called this morning. You are like one of

those Pavlovian dogs. She missed the
commercial audition and the national

Do you know what those pay? Well, if you
want, I can take a report, although it

might be a little premature.

Here's her picture.

Well, the last time you saw Erica was
around 10 p .m. She had a bad day.

She wouldn't talk about it, just said
she was going out and left. And you

she went to the director at Mel Caffer's
house?

She'd been there before.

When she called last night, she told me
she was at his place.

What time was that?

Around 2.

She was really upset.

Said she and Mel had been fighting.

First story track with you guys?

We got the call around 1 .30, arrived in
the scene around 1 .45.

That's the situation.

There were no visible signs of trauma.

Both parties said everything was okay.
Tom, what's your take?

Yeah, pretty much like Ray said.

But?

I don't know. Something seemed off with
the girl.

Things were checking out. She's been
missing less than 24 hours. Might be a

little bit early to move on it.

Unless there's suspicion of foul play,
and I got my suspicions.

All right, we'll talk to Castle.

All right, we'll go wait.

After a 12 -hour night shift? He's
right, partner. We should get some shut

I'm going.

All right, if it makes you feel any
better. But you worry too much.

Missing? Erica was just here last night.
She left about two.

Yeah, well, her roommate says she never
made it home.

Well, actresses, you know, they can be
flaky.

She probably crashed at a friend's
place. She's driving home as we speak.

Probably. You mind if we take a quick
look around anyway? Quick being the

operative word. I've got an early call.
I've got to be on the set in an hour,

you know.

The traffic, I'm already... This won't
take long. Late.

You ought to see some of the posters
he's got out there. Real cult classics.

I think I'm going to start worrying now.

What happened to the rug?

In this picture, it was right there.

Why you ask me? I don't know.

¿Qué pasó con esto? I didn't do nothing.

Hey, partner.

Check this out.

You know, I didn't find Erica's car, but
wait till you see what I found in the

back of Castle's SUV.

Nice.

You know, the neighbor said that Castle
took off really early this morning. But

you don't know anything about that
either, huh?

It's not a shovel. It's a pooper
scooper.

It's a what?

You know, for the dog.

That's some big -ass poop you got. Yeah,
Rottweiler.

Okay, so you went out to walk your dog
this morning? Runyon Canyon, 6 a .m.

Place is chock full of witnesses.

What happened to the rug in your living
room?

Rosa tried to steam clean it and just
tore it to shreds, and the thing cost me

fortune, too. How about your award from
the Bakersfield Film Festival?

It's broken at the base, you know.

Is it?

I'll have to tell Rosa to be more
careful.

Listen, boys, I got a lot of people
counting on me showing up, okay? Now,

we can continue this at a later time.
You know, I don't think so.

This is a big picture that I'm
directing. We're talking about millions

dollars. We're talking about a woman's
life. And so far, I have been more than

accommodating in answering your
questions.

I shouldn't be talking without an
attorney present. No one's forcing you

anything. You want to wait for your
lawyer? Go right ahead. Fine.

Okay, okay.

Listen, if I tell you, will you let me
go back to the set? Depends what you

us. Well, I got nothing to hide.

Last Friday night, I decided to cruise
down the hill and, you know, grab a

drink. Unwind after a 15 -hour shoot.

And this long -pawed looker is hanging
all over me.

And this waitress interrupts.

Mr. Castle?

Mr. Castle?

Erica Ashland, you remember?

Erica, sure, sure.

From... Final Gas.

Right. I play the nerd.

It's great to see you again. I just had
to come over and say hello.

You gave me my first break.

Well, you must have had something.

Burn quality, right?

Thank you.

Amen, she tells me. You know...

You have the most amazing eyes.

Not exactly a subliminal message.

Oh,

don't stop.

So we go back to my place to party. And
by party, you mean... Officer, use your

imagination. You're amazing.

We had a good time. I thought that was
that.

Somehow... She got it into her head that
I promised her a part in my movie. Did

you? Are you kidding?

This is a studio picture.

There's no room for amateurs.

Still, I felt bad for her. I offered to
help out. I had her come down to the set

yesterday, meet some people.

It wasn't good enough for her.

That's right. She came to see you last
night.

Was she upset?

A little.

You promised me a part!

You really think that you were going to
get away with this?

any idea how humiliated i was going down
there well she went off on me for about

15 minutes so i asked her inside you
know try to calm her down and that's the

last time that i saw her that was the
last time you saw her the last time you

saw her alive look i told you i melt
shut up don't say another word what the

hell are you two doing badgering my
client your client has been voluntarily

speaking with us my client invited you
into his home for routine questioning

turned it into an illegal search and
seizure. According to the law, anything

plain sight is fair game. The towel
falls under that category.

I'd like to confer with Mr. Castle
alone.

Now. Confer all you want, Counselor.

Because we got it.

We know it.

What say you, McNorris? I guess until
the DNA evidence gets back, we got

nothing. Tell the lawyer the castle's
going to be released until further

Make sure he stays in town. You know the
drill, right?

Wait a minute, McNorris.

Did you see that towel cake? Some blood.

Whose blood?

Until the lab results come back, it's
anybody's guess. Okay, what about the

What about the shovel in the award that
was broken?

Nobody. It's all circumstantial. So we
just sit around and we wait for Castle

flee the country?

Castle's not going anywhere.

Yeah, and you know that?

You ever heard of Last Rites? Zombie
thrill kill? Doug the Bug?

No. No, of course not.

Those were his last three films, and
they all bombed.

The movie the guy's directing right now,
this is his last chance. He's going

nowhere. Can't you just hold him for
overnight?

Look, there are certain rules that I
have to adhere to. Yeah, I know the

I've seen you bend them.

Look, like it or not, this is a high
-profile case. The media's going to be

over this thing. They're waiting for us
to screw up, and I'm not going to do

that. I'm going to go out there, and I'm
going to cover our backs. Our backs?

Since when do you care about our backs?
Since two cops that I know showed up at

the main suspect's house during the
night in question. No doubt that'll be

first topic of conversation I'm going to
have to tap dance around during the

press conference. Excuse me.

McNors, I stood two feet away from that
girl.

I did nothing.

You have no idea what that's like.

You're right.

I don't.

I have no idea what it's like to be a
cop.

But I do know my fair share about one
thing.

Guilt.

Wallowing in it.

Numbing myself in it.

Getting in knock -down, drag -out brawls
with it.

So I can tell you this much.

It never ends up being a fair fight.

Careful, Tom.

That result from the towel should be in
sometime tomorrow.

Meanwhile, stay on the castle. See what
we can come up with. I'll cover the

missing girl track. Start checking the
local hospital.

That's already covered.

There are no Jane Does matching Erica
Ashland's description in any hospitals

of this morning.

I'm not looking for Jane Does. Not yet,
anyway.

Blood on the towel indicates trauma.

Erica might have gotten medical
attention.

Got it. We're on it.

Doctor, can I talk to you?

Can it wait? I got a lot of ground to
cover on this missing girl. I

but if there's anything you need help
with, interviews, research, whatever.

You're the responding officer on the
domestic?

That's right.

Anything you would have done
differently?

I followed protocol.

Good. But there was a look in the girl's
eye that I thought that maybe I

couldn't... Officer, don't ever question
your instincts.

At the end of the day, that's all you
got.

You coming?

Excuse me?

My instinct tells me you're going to
help me find this missing girl.

We met at the bar.

I was dating the bouncer.

Erica was cocktailing.

My roommate moved back home about six
months ago.

Erica was paying a fortune.

for a one -bedroom on Sycamore.

So she moved in.

Tell us about the phone call.

It was awful.

Hello?

Erica, sweetie, what is it?

Oh, my God, stay right there. I'm coming
to pick you up. Just give me the

address.

Erica, calm down.

She hung up.

That was it.

I just wish there was something I could
have done.

Excuse me.

Hello? Access Hollywood.

Sure.

Um, no, I'm sorry, three won't work.

I'm doing extra, and then I've got to
phone her with Variety.

But we're having a unity vigil tonight,
and I can give you a sound bite there.

Okay, great.

Bye.

I'm sorry, where were we?

She hung up.

Got anything?

Uh, just some tapes.

Some tapes we might want to look into.

Got a call from Eric's agent.

He said he'd squeeze me in after the
screening tonight.

Why don't you go check out the vigil?

Okay.

Can we see?

Yeah.

Hi. Hi. Thank you for coming. Can you
guys just set up over there? Uh -huh.

when you get a chance, if you could move
across to the south parking lot so

people can get by. Yeah, whatever you
want.

Thanks.

Okay, everyone, once we light our
candles, we're going to start with

Grace and then we'll segue into Candle
in the Wind.

Okay? Thank you.

Nice turnout.

Officer, thank you for coming.

Erica would appreciate it.

You guys pretty close?

Not really.

We'd hang out at the apartment
sometimes, but Erica could get a little

I can take that. Thank you. What do you
mean?

If she didn't get a call back or her
agent sent her out for older parts, mom,

social workers, that kind of thing, she
could just get really down on herself.

Top business.

Yeah, tell me about it.

All right. I feel like you're doing
okay.

You must think I'm horrible for getting
press out of this.

I'm not here to judge you.

It's not like I'm doing it for the wrong
reasons.

If all this helped find Erica, great.

And if I get discovered in the process,
well, who does that hurt?

Nobody, I suppose.

If Danny were here, he'd say that I was
just like everybody else in this town,

always looking for an angle.

Who's Danny?

Erica's ex.

Plays guitar at the bar.

He hates L .A. He'd do anything to get
Erica to leave.

Ready to roll. Showtime.

I better run.

Amazing grace,

how sweet the sound. Ma 'am, are you all
right?

Look, if something's wrong, you can tell
me.

I can protect you.

You know there's no OT on this gig.

Must have lost track of the time.

Not to mention you haven't slept in 36
hours.

What are you watching?

Erica's real.

I don't know, bit parts of movies,
television commercials, her entire

accomplishments all on a 60 -minute
tape.

I was the agent.

That's a jerk.

Didn't have much to say about Erica
either. How about you?

Anything of note?

Well, that vigil was a joke. It was just
a bunch of actors milking it for the

cameras. Everybody wanting their 15
minutes.

Yeah, but there's an ex -boyfriend we
should look into, a Danny.

Evidently, he wasn't very supportive of
Erica's career.

Doesn't seem like many people were.

I also talked to a landlord and ran
Erica's DMV records.

She was born and raised in Nebraska.

Parents died in a car crash in 89.

Also spoke to her drama teacher in high
school.

They said that...

Erica took off for L .A. right after
graduation.

Never looked back.

That's a lot of pounding the pavement.

This is all she had to show for it.

Not bad.

She's no Meryl Streep.

She's good enough to act her way around
a smart cop.

I vote.

Tom, everyone makes the call that they
regret.

I know.

Gotta move on, get better.

Some people don't.

Don't people peak at mediocre like
Erica?

No.

Yeah?

How's it meant to be for Erica?

Like a bit, right?

And the hardest part of the job is?

Polyblend uniforms.

The hardest part of this job is walking
that fine line between being invested

and being objective.

Once you cross over, you can't get back.

You need to get some sleep.

We have to get up bright and early
tomorrow to visit the set.

Good night.

Good night.

Yeah, Erica showed up here a couple of
days ago. She wasn't too happy with her

role and made a big stink.

We had to get her off the set before she
held a production.

Where the hell is Castle? We're already
two hours behind.

Anybody got a 20 on mail?

P .A. says they've been calling this
house all morning. No answer. Damn it.

back on the nose candy again.

Looks like you're in a bind here.

Castle probably went on a 24 -hour
bender. He'll stumble in sooner or

Pierce? Must have skipped town.

Worst case, D .P. can step in. Lord
knows it's happened before.

Great. We're on the way.

D .P. might have just caught a break.

Blood evidence off the towel came in.

Positive match to Erica Ashland.

Probably halfway to Rio.

Well, his car's still here.

He's stalling.

Yeah, well, stalling's one way to put
it.

Now that's what I call a Hollywood end.

One missing person, one corpse.

Like we've got ourselves a variety pack.

For now, we'll assume the two cases are
related.

So what's the connective tissue between
Castle and Erica?

Well, Tom got a line on Erica's ex
-boyfriend. Apparently, they didn't see

to eye. Tom's boyfriend doesn't like the
idea of Erica getting on with Castle.

Takes it out on both parties. So any
other leads?

There were some pictures.

What kind of pictures?

The kind you don't send home to mom and
dad.

Where are they?

Stairs in the room, under the
floorboards.

Anything else?

No.

Maybe Erica was blackmailing someone.

Maybe someone was blackmailing her.

Yeah. We'll talk to the boyfriend.

All right. You guys get those pictures.

Officer.

Don't you hold out on me.

I was going to tell you about the
photos.

Do you realize the situation you put us
in? Look, it's not like I was sitting on

him. I tracked down the photographer. I
talked to the magazine publisher.

But you kept it a secret.

Why? Because obviously Erica wasn't very
proud of those photos, and I see no

reason to smear her name unless the
photos are material to the case. So you

decided to ignore my advice about
crossing the line. What I did was

professional. Tom, you're not
responsible for what happened to Erica.

are responsible to is that badge.

If you can't keep your emotions at the
door, then don't bother coming in here

all.

We through now?

We're through.

Daniel Hobart?

Yeah. Detective Smith, LAPD. My partner,
Steven.

Did you find Erica?

Oh, my God. Just tell me she's okay.

Well, unfortunately, we haven't located
Ms. Ashland at this time.

The last two days have just gone crazy.
We're calling everyone we know, driving

around the city.

We're hoping you can answer some
questions for us.

Sure. Great. Now, you and Erica, you
broke up several times over the last

Is that correct?

Wait a minute.

I'm a suspect?

At this point, we haven't ruled out
anyone.

You've got to be kidding me. I am the
only person who genuinely cares about

Erica.

I love that girl.

Sounds like it may have been unrequited.

Erica's priorities just grew up. She had
trouble seeing the big pictures, too

focused on her damn career, if you can
even call it a career.

She hasn't landed a partner for two
years. So you thought she should give up

her dream?

I thought we should find a new dream.

Pack up, make a move somewhere where we
can make a real life together.

Yeah, but Erica didn't want that.

The night she was considering it. The
night she went missing, we were supposed

to discuss things.

And she ran into that jerk Castle.

Yeah. You know, this wouldn't be the
first time that jealousy wasn't loaded

murder.

If I was going to kill Erica, I'd have
done it the first time she broke my

heart. Yeah, but you could have taken
your anger out on Castle too, though,

right?

Castle was killed last night.

I was working here.

Wait, let me guess. You had a whole
crowd full of witnesses too, right?

You think the crowd here is interested
in seeing something original?

Talk to Pete. He's the only person that
saw me play.

That's Ruff.

No.

Ruff is a beautiful, intelligent girl
who is willing to compromise everything

just to get a part.

You need to stay out here while we
search Erica's room.

Did you find them?

No, but somebody did.

Okay.

Thanks for your collaboration.

Yeah. Thanks a lot.

Holly, let me ask you a question.

Did you ever do any modeling?

Me? No.

No? I could have sworn I saw you in one
of those Victoria's Secret catalogs.

Plattering, but, um, nope.

Particularly if that's been.

I thought all you girls were M .A .W.

M -A -W.

Model, actress, whatever.

Funny.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. How about Erica?
Did she ever do any print work, make

extra money?

Doubtful. She was broke.

And besides, she wasn't exactly Heidi
Klum.

So you never saw any pictures in her
room?

I never went in her room.

You mean to borrow clothes, anything
like that?

Erica and I weren't exactly the same
build.

Well, thanks again.

Keep you posted with any more updates.

Nice job.

Thanks. If Holly didn't take the photos,
who did?

Someone who'd care enough to get rid of
them.

Anyone else posing with her?

No, just Erica.

Erica.

After four days of tireless negotiation,
the mechanics union has still not

settled with the transportation
authority.

In other news, after three days,
waitress and sometime actress Erica

In a bizarre twist, director Mel Castle
was found dead in Hollywood Hills.

The Panic Union has still not settled

In a bizarre twist, director Mel Castle

Hi, I'm Erica Ashland, and I'm
auditioning for the part of Dakota.

Erica Ashland, I'm here for the role of
Sarah's sister.

Erica Ashland, English teacher.

Jenny's mom.

Customer number three.

Customer number three. Number three.

Hey, we still out for later?

Sure. Good, because I got an article I
want you to read.

Top ten quality of life cities in
America.

Needless to say, La La Land didn't make
it.

I'll be right back.

Winter's Fury?

I've never heard of it.

Hal Holbrook, Jane Fonda. Oh, is she
related to Bridget Fonda? I love single

white female.

Winter's Fury.

Grows 12 million opening weekends.

Got an Academy nod in 86.

And I was three.

Well, I can see that somebody needs an
education in the art of fine cinema.

why don't we cruise up to my place, pop
in the DVD?

Right.

Mr. Castle, I'm Erica Ashland, remember?

Of course, Erica.

From Final Gas.

Right, right. It's so good to see you
again.

You had to come over and say hello.

You know, you gave me my first break.
Well, you must have had something.

Star quality, right?

Thank you.

You always did have an amazing eye.

Talk about timing.

I just started shooting my latest
feature.

There is a role that you would be
perfect for.

The problem is I don't have a spare
script on me.

I do have the latest production draft up
at Mikasa.

That's okay.

I get off at one.

Good.

Almost done?

Excuse me.

Hi, I'm Erica.

Can you point me to my trailer?

Erica? Ashlyn.

Mel should have told you about me.

Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica. Oh,
here you are. You are right over there

with the other extras.

And, um, extras?

Features. Extra.

Mr. Cass has specifically requested you
stand in the front row.

Get a little face time with the camera.

We had a deal. And I followed through.

I didn't have to screw someone for a
walk -on. I could have gotten that

Almost done.

Because you've been yelling at me for a
half an hour, and the answer is still

no. But what about Shauna? It's like
that part was written for me.

Shauna? Are you serious?

The role is written for a 20 -something.

You'd be lucky if you could play her
mother.

You! Oh, get off me, you bitch!

It's good to know you boys are on top of
things.

All right, then.

Do you realize how close that was?

It's all I need is a scandal to get
booted off this picture. Well, I'm

but you owe me.

I owe you?

Honey, for what I got last night, I'd
say featured extras generous.

You bastard.

Just get the hell out of here.

Holly, it's me.

I'm at Mel's.

I don't think I can drive.

Sweetie, everyone knows the guy's a
slimeball. What did you expect?

Just please come and get me. Right now.

No, I can't. I'm actually going over my
lines for that audition tomorrow.

I don't have it yet, but my agent could
call me.

Look, it's not that big of a deal.

Erica?

What is it?

She takes and she takes. She takes and
she takes. She understands when she

it away. She says, man, I gotta get out
of this town.

Man, I gotta get out of this pain.

Man, I gotta get out of this town.

Out of this town.

Out of this town.

If Erica is alive, like Tom says, I say
she's our prime suspect.

Suspect for killing Castle?

She definitely had motives. Castle
didn't exactly treat her like a queen.

Doesn't fit the profile. Sometimes they
don't. Yeah, but she was depressed.

But, come on, kill her? I don't buy it.
Yeah, it sounds like someone got a

little too invested in their research.

No. Just going with my gut, that's all.
Just like I did with Ashley Colville.

Colville? Wasn't that that eighth
grader?

Yep, parents were found shot dead in
their minivan while poor Ashley was at

soccer practice.

Poor thing, she was devastated.

This girl was a living doll.

I mean, Joel was ready to ask Kelly
about adopting her. Mm -hmm, until the

report showed the footprints leading up
to the minivan had some strange

indentations. Well, it didn't take long
to figure out that they came from a pair

of soccer cleats. Never saw that one
coming. Okay, if Erica did do it, then

have to establish her at Castle's house
the night of the murder.

So far, there's no evidence to support
that. Well, the bullet came from

gun, so that doesn't help us. Yeah,
forensic reports show all fingerprints

DNA belong to Castle or his maid, except
for a single strand of brown hair or

hair -like material.

What color?

Brown. Why?

What's going on? We need to stay out
here while we search Erica's room.

I think she might have been really good.
I think she could have really made it.

Hey, NBC.

Hi.

Erica was there.

She could have done it.

You in the business?

Not anymore.

Come on, you're an actress, right?

Nothing like that.

Yeah, I thought so. You got that thing,
that star quality.

You're... That cop from Casper's house
that night, yeah.

I've never had a problem getting lost in
this town before.

I noticed the wig was missing from your
room, and I remember seeing that

beautiful brunette that night at the
vigil.

I just wanted to talk to Holly and tell
her I was all right.

And see how much people cared.

I wore the wig and glasses so no one
would recognize me.

It turned out to work better than I
expected.

Holly, you don't have a candle.

You must really love her. Huh?

You must really love Erica to do all
this for her.

I do.

We were in acting class together.

Thank you. You're welcome.

She was really good.

Sure. No, seriously.

She really could have made it.

KMBC. Hi.

Holly cared more about her close -up
than she did about me.

Can't say that I blame her.

So how did you find me here?

Once I realized you were still alive,
maybe we wouldn't get very far in your

car. Get backup units at the airports,
which leaves bus or train.

I figured you for the train type.

More dramatic.

You're a good cop.

Good accent.

Not good enough.

Well, maybe some things just aren't
meant to be.

I never meant for anybody to get hurt.

I just wanted the part.

Sex didn't work.

So I thought I'd try town.

Hell yeah.

Hold it right there. Don't move.

Now, who are you? What do you want?

Come on.

Eric!

My God, you're alive!

I didn't want people to worry. I just
left town to clear my head, and then I

the news.

You've got to call the police.

Wait, not yet.

Why not?

You don't... I get it. I get it. I know
what you want. You want money, right?

Okay, fine, fine. Here, take it.

Here, take everything I got, all right?
Fine. Just take it all. I don't care. I

don't want your money.

But what then?

The part.

What? Are you nuts?

I'm perfect for Shauna. Just give me a
shot.

Please. I'm not going to screw up my
movie by putting you in it.

Do you have any idea what it's like to
want one thing all your life? For God's

sake. To want it so badly you get on a
bus to L .A. on your 18th birthday with

$200 in your pocket and a card from your
mom saying she believes in your stupid

cliche of a dream.

But you don't care that it's a cliche
because you're going to make it.

And within a year, you land an agent in
a couple of roles, and you think, this

is it.

This is where my life begins.

And then nothing.

So you get that breath enhancement
because your manager says it'll make all

difference.

Then you do that sleazy modeling job to
pay the rent just this once.

And still nothing.

But you keep at it.

Because it only takes one part.

And then one night, you meet the man who

holds the key to your dream.

And you're willing to do anything to get
that key.

Because you know this is your last
chance.

And after that, there won't be any more
parts.

It's not that easy for any of us, Erica.

We all come out here with big dreams.

Gotcha.

Huh?

Admit it.

I'm good.

You were acting.

The bit about the card from your mom?

Improv. And the boob job?

Good genes.

Have you ever thought about writing?

The part now.

No, no, no way.

That is my shot to get back in the game.
Back in the game?

When were you ever in it?

Listen, sweetheart, you are talking to
the man who directed Winter's Fury.

Everybody knows that story.

Practically Hollywood lore.

You were so strung on on blow you
couldn't finish the picture.

That is not true. The cameraman had to
finish it for you. No, Winter's Fury is

my film. And when the movie got
nominated for the Academy Award, you got

from the ceremony. I don't want to hear
any more of this. Shut up. The only

reason your name ended up on the screen
was because the studio didn't want a

lawsuit generating bad buzz. I'm warning
you.

Shut up, you bitch.

Mel was dead before he hit the floor.

There's nothing I could do for him.

When I disappeared once, I figured I
could do it again.

What's going to happen to me?

If you cooperate, you're only looking at
voluntary manslaughter.

Good behavior, three or four years,
you'll be out.

It's time, but not a lifetime.

Do you have to use those?

Yeah, I do.

Can't bend the rules just once?

It'd be best not to.

There's a lot of people out there.

Prescott wanted us.

Yeah.

I'm famous.

We'll be right back.
