If we don't reverse the
tomography in the next 30 seconds,

barnaby won't stand a chance.

I know, wonder man. I'm trying.

Change of plans. There's too many.

Get out of there. Head
to the sanctum now!

- But what about you?
- I can't leave barnaby to die.

- But they'll kill you both.
- I don't care!

The embera people believe if a
soul fails to turn right after death,

it winds up in a dark
and treacherous place.

Well, I've been to the void.

I've lived in that screaming silence.

I know what it's like.

I lost whatever part was left in
me that makes a person a person.

Until barnaby pulled me out.

No one else ever gave a damn!

It's too late for me.

But you can still walk away.

I'm begging. Please, just walk away.

You got this, man.

You already got the job.

You just gotta go out there and crush it.

Just crush it.

One step closer to the top.

Mr. Williams?

They're inviting you to set.

Copy.

Yep, on our way.

Yeah, David, go ahead.

No, I haven't seen it.

Have you asked Isaac
in props? Thank you.

The stage isn't far.

Yeah, David, go ahead.

Yeah? Yeah.

"She stands in the door for a beat..."

- What?
- "'How was your trip?'"

okay, who last had eyes on it?

Hey, kiran.

Hey, Ashley.

Hey, isn't that for American horror story?

Sorry. Day players don't get golf carts.

David, where are we with that blood?

Yeah, I just got to set.

Hey, what's the status on that mask?

Beautiful. Talk soon.

How is it always mendocino farms?

Someone in the writers'
room must own stock.

I hate choosing lunch
when I barely had breakfast.

I mean, how am I supposed to
know what my stomach will want?

Personally, I would go for the
smoky chicken elote bowl. No crema.

Hi, I'm Lauren.

You must be professor harpin.

Yeah. I love the castle rock you directed.

Your sons of anarchy episodes,

they were the best in the series.

- Thanks.
- Ashley. I'm a big fan.

- Yeah, I loved you in the twilight series.
- Thank you.

- Absolutely.
- Okay, so class has just ended

and professor harpin's
packing up his desk...

- Okay.
- At the end of the night.

And then your colleague
Sarah enters from here.

You do the first couplet.
"How was your trip?"

Yada, yada, yada.

And then, Ashley, you cross to
about here. And professor harpin says...

"You do realize, according to legend,"

"that's where the aztec
god of death, mictlantecuhtli,"

"was tricked into giving up the
bones that became humanity."

Yeah, duh.

Great.

And then Sarah transforms
into a monster. Pa-pa-Pam.

And... bites off professor
harpin's head, here.

Any questions?

Yeah.

Should I switch to that elote bowl?

Right now, it's soundin' pretty good.

Just one thing.

Yeah, of course.

How long have Sarah
and I known each other?

That's a good question.
What... what are you thinking?

I was thinking we go pretty far back.

Like, maybe we were best friends,

but we had a little fallin' out
when she got tenure before me.

Sure. Why not?

Right? It might add a
little layer to the scene.

- Totally. Let's try it.
- Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Great.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Okay.

So... so, maybe I
shouldn't say "Sarah," right?

- What's that?
- Well, the script says "Sarah," but...

If I've been secretly jealous of her career,

I don't think I would be
so friendly, you know?

Maybe I should call her "Dr.
Johnson" instead, you know?

Yeah. Let's... let's try it both ways.

- Okay, great.
- Cool.

Let's shoot one.

And... I wouldn't let her get that far.

- Who?
- Dr. Johnson.

Considerin' our history,
I don't think I'd let her

cross all the way to my desk.

I think professor harpin
would stop her right about here.

- Yeah.
- No, no, no.

That is interesting...

Damn. We're already lit,

so I... I did want your dead
body kind of bleeding out

in this moonbeam that we have that...

We can move the moonbeam.

It'll only take a few minutes.

If you want it.

Let's move the moon.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Moving the moonbeam!

More, more. Right there.

Last looks!

Should I be packin' up a copy
of aztec thought and culture

by Miguel león-port ill a?

Is there a problem, Simon?

No. No problem. I was just...

Just wondering if I should be packin'
up a copy of aztec thought and culture

by Miguel león-port ill a?

And what is that?

I'm assuming that's what I'm teachin',

unless you're thinkin' aztec
civilization by Henry Freeman?

But... that kind of changes things.

Does it?

Aztec civilization is a quick read.
It barely touches on mictlantecuhtli.

It might fit into an ancient
civilization syllabus. But...

Professor harpin is focused
solely on aztec studies. Right?

- No. There's no reference to a book.
- But it says...

It says, "pack in up his desk..."

- Right.
- "...For the night."

I think it's implied.

Should we check with
the writer, just to be safe?

Who is this bozo?

He had a great audition.

Yeah, but at this rate, we're
never gonna make our day.

Can you get Ryan on the phone?

Yes, ma'am.

And the interestin' thing is, it's all here,

in your words, if you really look at it.

- You think so?
- I do.

Professor harpin's history
with professor Johnson

is what makes his death at
her hands all the more tragic.

Honestly, I never thought of it that way.

- But it's here in the subtext.
- Yeah, I see that.

You found something really interesting.

Simon. Hi. Linda Cox.

- Hey. Hey.
- Hi. Really nice to meet you.

- I'm a big fan.
- Thank you.

Love all the thoughts
that you're bringing...

- Absolutely.
- To this role.

- Thank you. Thank you. Yeah.
- Yeah. Thank you.

The show runner just called,
and he is, rethinking this episode.

And he's worried about
professor harpin's scenes

being a remnant of an
earlier version of Ashley's arc.

A remnant?

So, he's cutting your
character from the show.

Thank you so much for
all your hard work today.

That's a series wrap on Simon Williams!

Shit.

What the hell?

You movin' out?

I thought you wrapped at 5:00.

So, you're sneakin' out?

I'm just trying to prevent
this from becoming a thing.

Weren't you showing me
pictures of rescue dogs last week

- and complainin' I wouldn't commit?
- Yeah. I'm sorry.

I'm just not happy, Simon.

I know. I... I just think you
need to book something.

Things will turn around. Come
on. Vivian, we're good together.

You never let me in, Simon.

Not really.

It's a little late to start
caring about this relationship.

Well, that's because Gerry
wasn't there and I was.

I remember. Yeah.

It was a python. A giant, bloody python.

I don't know if it was
Burmese or not, love.

I can't speak to that. It was in the pool.

That's what bloody matters.

- Maybe it had been somebody's pet.
- Shh!

It wasn't lookin' for cuddles.

Sorry, love. I can't today.

Audition's this afternoon.

Damn right, it's big.

Biggest bloody movie of the year is all.

Hey, man, do you mind?

Give my love to uma.

Smooches.

I'd never talk during
the actual film. Don't fret.

Hey, I'm sorry, aren't you... yes.

I played the mandarin,

but that was over bloody 10
years ago and I was just a puppet.

And whatever theories you've
seen on Reddit are totally false.

I had nothing to do with pizza gate.
I'm not a member of the illuminati.

And I did not have my hands
replaced with baby hands.

First of all, I always dug your
performance as the mandarin.

But I remember you from that
omnibus episode you did in the '70s.

You played Edgar Allan
poe. "The need for nightmare."

Well, well, well...

Not too many people remember
that old gem, including me.

How was I?

Stole the episode.

And I should know, I'm also an actor.

- You don't say.
- Yeah.

- You know...
- Do you mind? Movie's about to start.

I'll take the 10, but when I take
you over to see Mr. O'Daniel,

I'm gonna have to have another
10 just to cover expenses, all right?

Come on. I'll buy youse coffee, on me.

Yeah, that's what I'll do.

Okay, rico?

Rico?

It's heartbreaking.

Never tire of rewatching that one.

It's authentic.

Moving.

Really captures being
an outsider on the fringe.

And it's a little trippy,
which is always nice.

You know, schlesinger didn't even
think Hoffman was right for rat so,

even though he'd just
come off the graduate.

Apparently, Hoffman convinced
him by showing up dressed in rags

to their first meeting on the street corner.

He was begging for change, and
schlesinger didn't even recognize him.

I was fortunate enough to
attend schlesinger's production

of timon of Athens with the
royal Shakespeare company.

Sublime. Pity I was blind drunk.

So... what's this...

"Big audition" you were talkin' about?

Look, man, I'm not a
weirdo, and I'm not desperate.

I'm just curious.

I would love to know what you're up to.

Well, between you and
me, it's a huge opportunity.

I'm auditioning for wonder man.

Anyway, nice meeting you.

Wait.

Someone's actually
remaking wonder man?

Not someone. Von kovak.

Hey.

Nah, I'm good. I'm good.

Are we sure he's not hiding in here?

Janelle!

Did you hear about wonder man?

You didn't tell me Von
kovak was directin'.

A superhero remake.

Not exactly what we'd expect
from an Oscar-winning director.

Finding inspiration in
another movie is not a crime.

Look at what cronenberg
did with the fly, silly b-picture.

He made it personal,

grounded it in modern science,

and discovered new, unthinkable horrors.

Why not wonder man?

Human and spectacular.

That's where this film needs to live.

Superheroes are part of our lives now.

So, what will we find when
we look at wonder man today?

What can he teach us about ourselves?

- Sounds good.
- I need to be in this movie.

Simon, you crazy.

I was born to play this character.

Are you serious?

Boo, they are already talking to Leo.

No, no, deadline said
they're lookin' for a new face.

I have a new face.

It's too late. Today was
the last day of auditions.

Well, couldn't you work
a little bit of your magic?

No one can say no to you.

- Not when you put on that charm.
- I know you're not doing this right now,

mister "I got fired from American
horror story this morning."

Yeah, they told me you
couldn't even lay in blood, Simon.

How hard is that? You just...
You just sit there. You just lay.

Then you storm into this
meeting with my colleagues,

acting like you own the place,
and now you tryna work me?

You know what? You got some nerve.

I just need you to believe in me, Janelle.

You know I believe in you.

I... I think you're one of the
most talented people that I know,

but there's a lotta
talented people out here

who are not pains in
the ass, do you feel me?

All right. We can talk about American
horror story first thing tomorrow mornin'.

Nandi will validate you.

Hi, baby, I have a early
dinner, so I'll be gone, okay?

Hey, girl, this is Imani
from Hanover agency.

I got Janelle Jackson for Ruth.

She's in session, but
I can have her return.

She's in on wonder man?

Yeah, till 6:00 tonight.

No, that is not good. Nandi is
gonna be in so much trouble.

Why? What's wrong?

Well, nandi is out sick.

You know, she got that
stomach bug that's goin' around.

You better make sure
you wash your hands, girl.

You know I do.

Anyway, I'm covering for
her, and she just texted me

'cause she forgot to get Simon
Williams in on wonder man for Janelle.

And now, see, the
session's already started,

and today's the last day.

So, when Janelle finds
out, she is gonna go ballistic.

Can he still make it in?
I can put him on the list.

My god, girl, you are an angel. I'MMA
call him right now, okay? Thank you!

Hey. Simon Williams. Sorry, I'm late.

I'm assuming you're a
wonder man and not a barnaby?

Correct.

Just need you to sign this nda.

Also, I don't have a
doorman waiver on file for you,

so I'm gonna need you to sign this.

Assuming, of course, you
don't have superpowers.

Okay, you're all set.

You mind if I keep the pen?

Guess so.

"Where you heading out, boy?"

"Until barnaby pulled me out..."

"Until barnaby pulled me
out, no one else to turn..."

"Right after death..."

I know what...

"And treacherous place.
Dark and treacherous place."

"Dark and treacherous place."

"Embera people have a story...
Embera people have a story..."

"Embera people have a story..."

"Damn urr fragment..."

"Damn urr fragment..."

"Gave a damn. No one else..."

Ask Damian how things went.

That's right, you can't. 'Cause he's dead!

The guy's killing it in there, bro.

And please tell Mr. Von kovak
that if he'd prefer a cockney accent,

I can throw one in at
no extra charge, all right?

Where have I seen him before?

Pretty sure he used to be a terrorist.

Come with me.

"Until barnaby pulled me
out, no one else ever..."

You're a bloody mess.
You can't go in like this.

You tryna get in my head?

I'm tryna help you, love.

You know, some of us actually
believe in supporting each other.

Take it from someone
who's eaten shit on stage

more times than he can
count. Not literally, mind you.

You can still turn this
around. It's not too late.

I know, it's a lot to memorize...

No, my memory isn't the problem.

So, what's wrong?

I can't get a hold of the character.

I've seen the original too many times.

And I'm trying to come up with a backstory
for his relationship with barnaby,

but it's not makin' sense.

Well, trust the words. Just show
up and say them. Be present.

Nah, that's not my process.

Well, your process can go blow a spider.

Do you mind if I see this?

This is your problem. You see,
these notes are garbage. Sorry.

No, it's how I learned it.
It's how I make my choices.

Well, your choices are getting in the way.

No one gives a fart about "the subtext
of the tales of the embera people."

We've... we've got to
get you out of your head.

And how do we do that?

When you're in there,
blow every last bit of air

out of your lungs, hard and fast.

With no air in your lungs,
your body will go into shock,

shut down your frontal lobes, so
no more logic getting in the way.

Then your amygdala kicks in,
and you'll be left with instinct!

Simon Williams?

Here!

Don't think.

Don't think. Okay.

You can slate whenever you're ready.

Simon Williams,
reading for wonder man.

Everything okay?

The embera people believe if a
soul fails to turn right after death,

it ends up in a dark
and treacherous place.

Well...

I've been to the void.

I lived in that screamin' silence.

I know what it's like.

I lost whatever part
was left in me that makes

a person a person.

Until barnaby pulled me out.

No one else ever gave a damn. No one.

It's too late for me...

But you can still walk away.

I'm asking you nicely. Just walk away.

It's a wonderful thing,
not thinking too much.

Served me well most of my life.

Nah, I'm not sure I'd do it again.

Why not?

John gielgud used to have me whip him

with a belt across his bare ass
every night before curtain up,

and that was before we were friends.

Then things got weird.

Hayashi neat, and a virgin
Mary with extra horseradish.

Thirteen years sober.

- Congrats.
- Thank you.

But... an actor needs to think.

To do the work,

you have to fill in a backstory
and the character's psychology.

If you don't understand
it, how can you perform it?

"When we are born, we cry that we
are come to this great stage of fools."

King lear.

- Well spotted.
- Yeah.

I had a run of it in
croydon back in the '80s.

I really struggled with the role at first.

Then I remembered that
great speech from Hamlet.

"The purpose of playing..."

"Is to hold as 'twere the mirror..."

"Up to nature."

Never forget that. Nature, that's our job.

To understand the world
around us and ourselves within it.

The real work isn't digging for
subtext or parsing a writer's intent.

The real work is living.

- I should probably get goin'.
- 'Course.

You're a young man with friends
to see and important things to do.

This one's on me.

I think I'm gonna do the wedge salad.

- Hey, let's keep in touch.
- Of course.

Simon.

I've a good feeling about today.

Something fateful in the air.

Hey, folks, I'm really sorry. Your
entrée will be up in a couple of minutes.

This is Trevor slattery.

How were drinks?

$15 for a virgin Mary?
It's bloody criminal.

Trevor...

Third contact was established.

We don't call it third contact.
He was at the matinée?

Yes.

And then you ran into
each other at the audition?

And then we had drinks. Third contact.

Trevor, you need to take this seriously.

Simon Williams is superpowered.

He's unstable and incredibly dangerous.

This country isn't safe
until he's in my custody.

You sure he's buying the act?

Don't fret. I've got him
right where I want him.
