All language subtitles for Twice in a Lifetime s02e06 War of the Poseys

Hey, hot stuff. Well, I'm mild stuff
compared to you, baby.

Thanks for the 411 on Courtney.

Wow. Dead and topless at the Roxy?

Gotta love her, huh?

So, Missy here?

Oh, yeah.

Well, uh, tell Chuck to send over a
martini.

Make it a double.

Happy birthday, Papi.

Sorry I'm late.

But I was working on a story.

Ah, another celebrity check into rehab?

Oh, good to see you too, Dad.

I was kidding, Mia.

Hi,

Jason, thank you.

Do you want something a little bit
stronger than your lemonade? No, thank

don't want to forget my speech.

Although, why a fancy university like
Stanford would want a small -time editor

like me to give a speech?

I don't know.

Your political corruption story was
excellent.

You put yourself on the line, Dad. You
deserve every honor you get.

A little like your student drug running
story.

What? My daughter wins the Levy Award?
I'm not allowed to be brown?

I was in college, Dad. That was 20 years
ago.

You could have worked at the Times.

It's not who I am.

And printing rumors and liesies.

Well, well, well.

If it isn't the woman who ruined my
life.

Careful, handsome.

She's got lies everywhere.

Sorry, Kat.

Come on, Dorothy. Let's go, honey.

Take your filthy hands off me.

How do you sleep at night?

Why do you just hang upside down and
wait for your next victim?

What are you looking at?

I'm so sorry.

It was that actress, Dorothy Ireland,
right?

The one you wrote about.

I write about everybody in this town,
Dad. It's what I do.

What do we order?

Whatever you want to tell me.

Your money's no good here.

You don't mean my money's not good here.
You mean my money's not good, don't

you, Dad?

Who are you to criticize me?

I live in a Beverly Hills condo. You
still live in that old apartment in East

.A. where I grew up in.

You drive a 15 -year -old Dodge. I drive
a brand -new BMW.

Last year, I traveled...

Yes.

Yes, Roger.

I am having lunch with my father.

All right.

I said all right.

Ah, another star caught in flagrant
delicto.

I got you a present.

A card.

Is there any story you would not stoop
to do?

I am

not

doing it. Well, you are doing it,
sweetheart. It's your job. It's in the

dumpster, a videotape. Roger.

Roger, this is embarrassing.

I don't care.

I'm almost there.

The maid swore she put it on top.

Or she should have. That tape cost $2
,000.

One second.

Wait, wait.

Roger,

if you think I'm going to get inside,
you're seeing you completely out of your

mind. No way. Oh, and, uh, Kat?

If you come back to this office without
Charlie's birthday back video, you, my

dear, are going to be very much
unemployed.

Roger. Happy digging.

Okay, okay, okay.

Why, why, why?

Yes,

yes.

Once again, curiosity kills the cat.

Change! You could change the world.

Change!

Rearrange the world.

Change!

Take one, divide by two.

Change!

If it was only up to you to change the
world.

Oh, my dad.

You mind staying a little downwind?

Who are you?

They call me Mr. Smith.

Is that me in there?

As opposed to all the other folks
digging through Charlie's trash?

It can be.

No.

I gotta go.

Oh, honey, you've already hit your
deadline.

Who's he?

Judge Othniel.

The great editor in the sky.

Fergie and Andy together again.

Bruce in stand -up with New York police.

Tammy allergic to makeup.

Do you believe people actually read
this?

They more than read it, Mr. Smith.

Many believe it. I had a job to do and I
did it. And I was one of the best.

And there was nothing I wouldn't do to
get that story.

Well, perhaps that is what the problem
was.

Well, I was ambitious.

And where I come from, being ambitious
is not such a nasty word.

No, no.

Ambition is good. But when ambition
overtakes a person's humanity, then

becomes a very nasty word where I come
from.

Do you remember Dorothy Ireland?

What is a Dorothy Ireland day?

You egregiously violated her privacy.

Every person has a right to privacy.

Dorothy Ireland is not a person. She's a
movie star.

You don't get paid millions of dollars
because you're a great actor. You get

paid that amount of money because you
become public property.

And she knew that when she took the job.

Okay, all right, you know, I admit it.
Sometimes I got a little bit eager, but

who cares anyway? I mean, everybody
knows that you're going to take this

with a grain of salt.

You know, I'm not ashamed of what I did.

But you didn't always do this, did you?

Congressman!

Congressman! Can you make it right?

Yeah, Lopez, University Press.

Congressman! You campaigned on a
platform to make funding for

public schools your number one priority
if you got elected.

And yet eight months into your term, not
one penny has gone in to bring our

schools up the code.

The people of California want to know if
you intend to make good on your

promise.

Congressman, can you give us a comment
for the record?

Out of that work came some good social
change.

That was you?

Yeah, that was me.

Many years ago.

But who cares now anyway? You know, I
can't go back to that now.

What if you returned to the exact point
in time when you still had a choice

of which path to take?

Is this guy for real?

I mean, is he, like, giving me a second
chance to go back and live my life

again?

What's the catch?

Don't hurt anybody.

You think you're ready to meet that
challenge, Ms. Lopez?

Grab it while the gavel's hot.

Well, yeah, of course I'm ready. Yes,
I'm ready.

Give her a second chance, Judge.

Captain Lopez, you will have three days.
And three days only.

You will go back with all your memories
intact.

No one will recognize you.

You are a free agent in the universe
with the blessing of God Almighty and

court.

What are you doing in a hot pan?

I'm wearing my mother's clothes.

What's going on?

It's your second chance.

Isn't it obvious?

And that's an S pool man at your
service.

It's Dorothy Ireland's home, isn't it?

Muy bien, Gloria Rodriguez.

No, but you don't understand.

I mean, the first big story that I told
was about Dorothy being gay.

I didn't know Dorothy was gay.

and her butler slid me this picture of
her with another woman in a very

provocative pose.

Did you check it out? Yeah, of course I
did. She was an old assistant who

mysteriously disappeared.

I think she must have paid her big bucks
to keep her quiet.

Yeah, what happened?

Well, of course, Dorothy denied it, but
a picture is worth a thousand words.

So I broke up my story. My career went
right to the top. Her career?

Into the toilet.

Maybe the story shouldn't have been
written.

Right this way, Miss Rodriguez.

Miss Ireland is waiting.

Surrender, Dorothy.

Ireland fires trusted assistant.

Could it be a lover spat?

First of all, it's not true. And second
of all, why was it buried on page 12?

And who is this Cat Lopez?

You've got to kill this rumor, Norman.

I've already gotten a dozen calls from
those tabloid vultures asking me about

new lesbian leanings.

Oh, and someone named Marsha wants to
know if I'm free Saturday night.

Now, I don't think I need to remind you
that it has been three years since my

last film, and I don't want anything to
blow this.

Just fix it.

Idiot.

You're late.

I am?

My agent sent you over, right? For the
personal assistance job?

Oh, yes, yes, that's exactly who I am,
yes.

Oh, I've been in this business for
years.

Haven't we all?

Hmm.

There's something about you that I just
can't... I'm sorry, I go on instinct,

and my instinct tells me this isn't
going to work out.

Ask Miranda, we'll show you the door.

Hello?

No, Miss Island is not home.

Isn't, honey?

I know what your game is, but I know how
to play it much better than you. So,

listen up.

I have two words for you.

Verification and lawsuit.

You're walking on thin ice, sweetheart.

Don't trip.

What'd you say your name was again?

Gloria Rodriguez.

Gloria Rodriguez.

You're Mexican?

I'm Mexican -American.

My baby's going to be Mexican -American.

This is going to be Annabelle or
Ricardo's room.

And this is Margarita, the future mother
of my child.

She's only 17.

It happens.

I'm going to adopt her baby.

All my life I've wanted a child.

And now finally, in another month, it'll
be reality.

Isn't she beautiful?

Yes, she's very beautiful.

Okay, here's what I need. Everything.

You'll be my confidant, my guard, my
secretary, my shopper, but most

you will be my protector against those
tabloid vultures.

I'm starting a movie next month with
Sean Connery, and I refuse to let that

gorgeous bum show me up. That means no
distractions.

30 laps a day, no alcohol, and no
desserts.

Basically, hell on earth, huh?

Okay, yes, I'm your girl.

Well, the shoes you'll be filling are
very big ones.

The woman who used to be my personal
assistant was very, very special to me.

I trusted her with my life.

And contrary to popular belief, I'm not
easy.

Should I get that?

You must do so much around here.

Delivery. From Miss Ireland?

From the studio.

Look, they're just flowers. Studio
citizens all the time.

I'm so... I'm so young and pretty.

Sure, lady. You look great.

She thinks you're nuts.

She can't see me, so improvise.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

I'm Miss Ireland's new personal
assistant, so I will take the flower.

Here. Okay?

Listen, Gloria.

I work for the Babylonians.

Any and all information would be greatly
appreciated and handsomely compensated

for.

You're asking me to spy for you?

The only way you're going to get her is
to stop writing a story about Dorothy.

is if you get her to believe that you're
on her side.

Make her trust you.

Keep your friends close, but your
enemies closer.

Well?

Yeah. Okay.

Sure, I will do it. I mean, you want a
story exclusive on Dorothy?

I'm your girl.

Great. Look, you're making the right
decision.

Because where there's smoke, there's
fire.

Find out what happened to your
predecessor.

Give me proof of any sort of
relationship.

Any relationship.

And there'll be more where this comes
from. Deal?

Deal. Ciao.

I think I just bribed myself.

Let's just hope you're on the right side
of this.

That way you save two lives.

Yours and Dorothy's.

It's not that easy. It's in her bedroom.

50 boxes make it easy.

Bingo. Huh?

Wow.

Dorothy, you're in my heart forever.

Anna. What are you doing in here?

May I have that, please?

I wasn't trying to pry.

Go get the car.

Dorothy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean...
Please, close the door on your way out.

Well, here we are.

Wait here.

Where are we?

I'll be back soon.

Hey! Hey, Dor... Dorothy.

Who are you?

What is she doing here?

I tried to stop her. I pulled the pool
van off the side of the road. I popped

the hood. I begged her for jumper
cables. I'm telling you, I was working

Then you drove by with Dorothy and she
was off. Like a barracuda out of you

where.

Quick. What do we do? What do we do?

Oh, this never happened the first time.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

I could ask you the same thing.

What is this place?

I don't know.

Well. I guess it's up to me to find out.
No, no, wait.

Wait, wait. Let me go inside.

I have better access, you know. I can
get in closer.

I promise you, I will get you your
story.

Give me one good reason to trust you.

Ah, because, uh... Because deep down, we
are the same.

You know, we're the same person. You and
I, uh... Somos la misma persona.

I mean, you know, I mean, we make our
living in the same business, so... Why?

You got ten minutes.

Then I go inside and take no prisoners.

Louise, please take this for anything
she needs. Of course. Thank you.

Hi,

Anna.

Are you the new nurse?

Anna, it's Dorothy.

Who you used to work for?

You were my personal assistant for 20
years.

Remember?

You look very beautiful today, Anna.

Oh, I'm not pretty.

I'm old now, you know.

I don't dance anymore.

But once.

Once.

Oh, that's so nice.

So nice of you.

That's my favorite song.

I know.

You do?

Who are you?

I'm Dorothy.

You worked for me.

We were close.

So close for many years.

Dorothy. That's right.

You took care of me.

When the wolves were at my door, you
beat them back.

And when I was sad, you made me laugh.

And I was never lonely.

Because you were there.

See?

You wrote, Dorothy, you're in my heart
forever, Anna.

I know you.

You're Dorothy.

That's right, I'm Dorothy.

Where's the scarecrow?

And the tin man?

And the lions and tigers and bears?

Oh, my.

I don't like animals, Dorothy.

They can devour you.

Please don't let the wolves in at the
door.

I won't.

I promise.

I won't.

You left this in the car. I told you to
wait outside.

Isn't anything sacred anymore?

I was just trying to help. By spying on
me?

You've got it all wrong. Can't you
understand? This is mine!

I understand.

It's mine!

Dorothy, do now.

Not Dorothy. Me.

Dorothy's secret love?

Cut. Red -handed in their secret
loveless. I don't know how they can

Look at that. Page two.

A picture and a quote is worth a
thousand words.

But that's not true.

It doesn't matter it's not true. It
matters that it's out there. Isn't that

you've been trying to tell me?

I was good.

I was so good, even I can't outsmart
myself.

I'm sure, Othniel, take all the
extenuating circumstances into

It's not me I'm worried about.

It's about that poor woman whose best
friend has lost her mind, her memories,

their memories.

Dorothy tries so hard to protect her.

I should have seen her.

She gives her so much love, like if she
was a newborn baby.

I've never given that much love to
anyone.

Not even my father.

He's paved the road to redemption.

How?

Gotta get her to retract this story.

It's going to be a little bit difficult
considering that now I own the story.

Is Miss Dorothy here?

Margarita? What are you doing here?

Is everything okay?

Are you all right? No.

I'm not all right.

Speak to Kat Lopez, please. It's very
important.

Gloria Rodriguez.

What meeting?

You've been telling me that for the past
two hours. Listen, I need to speak to

her. It's urgent.

Let me help.

Oh, I think you've helped quite enough.

Don't you?

It seems the studio has dropped me from
their film.

Something to do with my alleged
sexuality not boding well to play a

lead opposite Sean Connery.

Truth is, I don't care about this stupid
movie.

I'll survive.

I'll write my memoirs if I have to.

But you know what mattered?

Huh?

What mattered?

But I love my baby.

After reading today's rag sheet
headlines, Margarita called my lawyer.

And she said she's giving my baby to a
couple in Arkansas.

Can you believe it?

I'll get the paper to retract it. I
swear I will, Dorothy.

You swear?

Let me tell you something, Gloria
Rodriguez.

I've done a little dirt digging of my
own.

It seems my agents never heard of you.

You're a fraud.

You set me up.

Told that reporter everything for a few
measly bucks and destroyed everything

that was real and true that I have in my
life.

Get out.

I'm okay.

This is all your fault.

I've never seen her like this.

You got this to happen.

You have to fix it.

No, no, no, no.

Right. Bueno.

Okay. Bye.

You've got a printer impression here.

Spit on what?

Spit on the fact that Dorothy Ireland
and I are not lovers. And even if they

were, it'd still be none of anyone's
business.

Why should I? Six million managers
believe you, poor boy.

Put yourself in her position for a
minute.

How would you like living instead of
fishbowl?

Reporters exposing your every move,
robbing you of your privacy of your life

just for a quick buck? Not great, but
that'll never happen to me, so... If you

only knew how damaging this is to
Dorothy.

Not only to her career, but to her
entire life. And to yours.

What is it that I have to do for you to
get it?

You what?

That I shouldn't print to Dorothy's PR
people want me to print?

Sorry, Gloria.

But no matter what you do, I write the
truth.

The truth they don't want anyone to know
about. The real truth. The other truth.

Or lies.

Lies disguised as the truth. Whatever it
takes. Because bottom line is about

selling newspapers.

This is not what you dreamed of when you
became a reporter.

Well, now you know my dreams.

Listen, Gloria, you and I are not the
same.

We had a deal. You don't like what I
found out? Fine.

You tell me this is not the truth? What
is the truth?

What did you see inside the house? And
why were you hugging Dorothy Ireland?

It's private.

Dorothy's lover doesn't deny story.

Thanks.

I was always the bloodhound, never the
fox.

Come on you guys, move, move, move,
move!

I got here as soon as I could.

Thanks for the tea.

So, where is she?

I tried to revive her.

Revive her? I thought you said she broke
her ankle.

I lied.

I want you to see for yourself what you
did.

What I did?

You're not suggesting. This is my fault.

What? You don't have the guts to see a
half -dead woman that pumped the pills

out of her stomach, but the water in her
lungs may kill her anyway.

And all this happened because of what
you wrote.

Take responsibility.

I never thought... I never meant to hurt
anyone.

I know.

I know you never intended for this to
happen, but now that it has, you have to

write a retraction.

Give Dorothy back her life, her dignity,
whether she lives or not.

I'll call it in right now.

Keep me posted.

Dr. Anthony to radiology.

Dr. Anthony to radiology.

Well, I think I just renewed my faith in
myself.

Roger. Kelly Lopez.

Listen, I'm at T .J.'s final hospital.

I can't even believe it.

Do you remember that story I wrote about
Dorothy Ireland being gay?

Well, that's nothing compared to this.

Dorothy Ireland attempts suicide.

Do you have a pen?

Hey.

You just phoned in the juicy scoop.

No.

Nothing can stop this story now.

You can.

How?

With the truth.

I don't know what the real scoop is, but
Othniel knew. He knew who you really

were. Someone you forgot.

You better go remind yourself.

I guess I will.

I know this is not who you really are.

You have no idea who I am. You just
called in, Donald. It's a suicide story.

Sentence for both of you. You're really
scaring me.

The Levy Award.

What about it?

June 17, 1977.

Berkeley School of Journalism.

You received the highest and most
prestigious honor ever given to a

reporter.

This is a belated congratulations?

Hardly.

You went undercover investigating a
world of

rich student drug runners that didn't
even exist.

No one knew that you made up the whole
story.

No one here except you and me.

You got offers from top newspapers all
over the country.

Your father was so proud of you, but he
couldn't

understand why you turned them all down.

But you knew exactly what you were
doing.

You took this job at the tabloid because
deep down you felt you

didn't deserve all the honors and the
praise.

But most of all... Yeah, but... But most
of all,

you felt you didn't deserve your
father's love.

Who are you?

How do you know all this?

I know your heart.

I know your soul.

Words

are

very strong. They're very powerful.

And they can elevate you or they can
destroy you.

He's immune to that.

Not you.

Not even a moon star.

We have to hurry.

Where are we going?

We can still stop the run. No, we can't
stop the run. Yes, we can. No one can

stop the run except for the editor.
What? Are you out of this?

Never liked him.

Never mind. Come on. We don't have time.
Come on. We can do it together.

Over here. Over here. Come on.

What is it? What happened?

Two minutes of time's up, Kat.

It's now or never.

Okay, this one, this one. Now, go to the
control box and press the kill button

like your life depended on it.

Go! Hey!

What are you two doing there?

I told security!

Bower, I'll take care of him.

No!

Okay.

The other one, the other one.

Bingo! Stop!

Roger. What do you think you're doing,
Kat?

We've got to stop the run.

If the story gets out, it'll destroy
Dorothy Island.

Yeah, probably.

Now, give me the key.

Look, we're talking about human beings
here.

We invade their privacy. We put rumors
and lies.

We hide behind the law. It's wrong.

Who are you, you little pipsqueak, to
tell me what's right and what's wrong?

Have you investigated her relationship
with her assistant of 20 years?

No? Well, I have!

Stop the run, and you're fired.

And what a waste, because I'll just
start it back up again.

No, you won't.

Because if you do, she'll go to the
press and tell them that Dorothy's

love was a lie.

That she made it all up.

And you wrote it in your paper. So that
makes you liable for writing a story

with actual malice.

Dorothy will sue the pants off you, and
when she does, we'll both testify

against you in court.

I don't respond well to threats.

Neither do I.

Touch that kill button and mark my
words.

You're dead in this town.

A toast to my daughter, Kat Lopez.

Editor -in -chief of Confidential
Reporter magazine.

To Kat, a wonderful friend and the best
godparent to my Annabelle.

Annabelle. I'm so proud of you, Mia.

You're everything a man could ever want
in a daughter.

Not good at all.

But I never thought I...

I live to hear you say those words.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Do you have a cover? Of course.

My own magazine.

Could there be a Pulitzer in your
future?

I want to write a story about you.

Not if you can't remember.

Yeah, okay.

Ah, three lovely ladies.

Cute.

Very cute.

Change your world.

Change.

Rearrange your world.

Change. Take one divine turn.

Change. If it was only a second turn.
Change.
