Frame up on camera two.

Okay, looking good there. Camera two, hold that frame.

Chyron standing by.

Coming to Sean in 20 seconds for the five-day forecast.

The entire time that I have been covering the DTLA area for KPCK.

The lines outside the health food stores are incredible.

Coming to Sean for weather on camera two in...

Speaking of which, Sean has news on an annual weather event

that Angelenos know only too well.

Good afternoon, Los Angeles!

And like I always say, "If you don't like the heat,

get the hell out of Southern California!"

Yes, folks, nothing but blasted sunshine on the ol' horizon

for the next ten or so days.

We are talking some infernal heat.

And not only is the dial touching the big 104,

but those devil winds are blowing hot and dry

from the Mojave Desert down through San Bernardino

and right across the greater Los Angeles area.

The annual Santa Anas bringing with them

their usual fire warning.

The hot, dry gusts, a real hazard...

Beg your pardon.

The hot, dry gusts are a real hazard...

The hot, dry gusts...

Does this...

Is this supposed to be happening?

Do I need to stop and get him some water?

I'm sorry, I just, uh...

The hot...

What the fuck is going on here?

Tony, frame up, camera two.

All we have in this fucking studio is news and weather.

What else am I gonna find...

Nix it!

Frame on some fucking thing.

Okay, great.

Okay, back to news.

- Uh... - Okay, great.

The world of cryptocurrency in recent months

has been, uh, hacked.

I was having a hard time breathing,

but those were not tears.

Okay, sure, whatever, whatever.

Listen whatever happened to you out there

happened to you and not me,

but I am the one responsible for what the viewers see,

and the viewer saw tears.

And that is very distressing to them, okay?

Bottom line, you need to take some time off.

- I'm telling you... - You need a rest.

It was gastric.

It was like this intense acid reflux,

like I ate something super bad.

I'm sure that's a thing. Is that your car?

- Yeah. - Okay, let's get you in it.

Let's get you some rest.

Take all the time you need, okay?

- I won't be long. I'm fine. - Go there.

- Thank you. - All right.

Hey.

- Hey. - Hi.

You sure you should be driving right now?

Why wouldn't I be able to drive?

Sean, you were sobbing.

I had a thing with my body.

And yes, okay, it might have brought water to my eyes,

but those were not tears.

They weren't.

I was not crying, okay?

Okay, I better go.

Carlos bought this weird tree years ago,

and it's just looking at me on the deck.

I don't want it around anymore.

Some horticulturist I found on eBay is picking it up today.

- Hey, Sean? - You know...

maybe it's the Santa Ana winds.

They drive the people loco.

You know, my shrink never did hear from you.

Uh, yes...

Which is fine. I mean...

maybe it's not him, maybe is not me,

but you need to speak to someone.

- Yeah. - All right.

- Oh! - I feel great.

- Okay, good, okay. - Yeah.

Well, Sean, talk to somebody.

Yeah, I will.

Okay.

Bye!

♪ Ain't nobody straight in LA ♪

♪ It seems that everybody is gay ♪

♪ Homosexuality ♪

He's selling this because of the divorce?

I don't know.

My entire personality is a product of divorce.

It's true.

And here we go.

Definitively a divorce.

- Sorry. - Hi.

Work is crazy. I'm so sorry.

- Amy? - I'm Amy.

- Hi. Sean. - I'm Kate, friend.

Nice to meet you.

Had to make sure.

Come on in.

Right through here.

Sorry. It's a little bit of a mess.

And... there she is.

Wow. This is a nice house.

Oh, there were two of us chipping in, so...

Ah, she's beautiful.

Thank you.

- Perfect. - Yeah.

All right, we go like this and then... Ooh!

That's some lazy-ass workmanship.

That's my ex for you.

I say roll.

Hey, it's Carlos. I can't take your call

because I'm a busy and important person.

Leave a message.

Hey, it's me.

Just wanted to let you know that the big ol' tree is gone.

Yeah.

Some good friends of mine just picked it up, so...

That is it, Carlos.

The last vestiges of us have now been swept away.

You don't have to call me back. I know you won't.

I'm not an idiot.

You have one new voice message.

You have 13 saved voice messages.

I can do this.

First voice message.

Sean, Ash. Just got out of a chat with HR,

and we want to reiterate that you should go ahead

and take all the time you need to get better.

You are a valuable commodity, Sean.

- They consulted your file, - Carlos!

and you haven't taken a single vacation day in six months!

So go ahead and rest up, Sean.

Go to Cabo, chill by the swim-up bar...

Goodbye.

So please, kind people, no washing your car.

No watering your lawn.

Certainly no turning on fire hydrants

or jumping around in them.

This is LA.

Until water actually falls from the sky,

we can find another way to be cool...

All right.

Oh, hi. Excuse me.

Hi. I need to do some painting.

I'm just running some repairs on my deck.

- Okay. - That's the name of the paint.

Got it. All right, one second.

- All right. - Oh, no, that's way too big.

- Do you have a smaller one? - Yeah. Give me one second.

What's the smallest one you have?

- What about this one? - Oh, that's perfect.

I'm painting over this itty-bitty, little circle.

Oh, but once you paint that,

won't you need to paint the rest of it?

For consistency.

No, I don't think I will, but thank you though.

Hey, I seen you on TV, right?

Oh, I get that a lot. There's a guy who looks like me.

Oh?

But it's not me, so...

Okay. Yeah.

- Uh, my bad. - Thank you, thank you.

Oh, sorry.

Sean, honey, it's Stan.

Thursday there's a party, and you will attend.

Question is, what will you drink?

I will pour anything down my throat.

I am an elderly homosexual, but you young men,

what would you even like these days?

I know the Cosmo is played out.

I know tequila makes people cray,

so, talk to me, advise.

Also, where have you been?

Tom tells me it's been a month since we saw you.

Do you still hike the back track at Griffith Park?

We do.

You best not be holed up in that house.

That house is bad for you.

Lonely nest on top of a hill.

Okay, now, Thursday, attend.

There are no seasons. There is no, you know...

In New York, it's like, "The last time we saw each other

we were all bundled up in parkas, so...

It must've been January when I first moved down here.

That's why he'd been here for a few years longer.

And he said in LA, you jump into one end of the pool,

you swim out to the other end, you get out,

and it's 20 years later.

Yeah, it's bleak, but it's also the beauty of this place.

Yeah. It's, uh... Yeah.

You kind of shrug your way to a whole lifestyle.

And we're so comfy, we're not even leaving home

because it takes ten minutes too long

to get to the beach or to get to the east side,

so it's like, well, I'll just stay on my block

- with my dozen friends - Okay.

and live out my life

and be one of those old guys with kinda longish hair

and a weed prescription, you know,

and have like an extensive vinyl collection

and a bunch of house plants.

Wait. I can see that this is...

I can see that future for you, and it sounds great.

You can see that future for me 'cause it's my present.

It's already happening.

The lifestyle is very easy,

so it is easy not to challenge oneself.

Well, that's...

He should have told me.

♪ It never rains in California ♪

♪ But, girl, don't they warn ya ♪

♪ It pours ♪

I should've listened to you.

- I get that a lot. - I bet you do.

Do you know how much more paint you need?

Uh, it's a deck.

Is it wood?

Yeah, it is wood. Definitely.

I know that much. It's wood.

- I know that. - Do you know what kind of wood?

Um...

You know, it's like a dark brown wood.

Dark brown wood, right. You know, let's take a look.

- Yeah, yeah, let's look. - All right.

- Like last time. - Here we go.

This is just like you recommended to me last time,

- and I said no. - Yeah.

And I'm gonna need a bigger brush.

Oh, yes! Okay, one second.

- All right. - Oh, wow.

Oh, my gosh. Look at all that.

Got you a brush, some cloths, and paint thinner.

- Thank you so much. - You're so welcome.

- Thank you, Devan. - Yes, you're welcome.

I really appreciate it.

I'll listen to you this time, so I won't be back.

Yeah, all right. Take care.

- Hello. - Hola. ¿Qué onda?

Whoa. Uh, how does this work, you guys?

- I need some painting done. - ¿Qué?

Um...

Painting?

Oh, pintura, sí. Agarra a los tres.

Oh, no. Uno. Uno persona.

No, agarra a los tres.

I don't speak Spanish, okay?

Hablo un poquito.

Do you paint?

Yeah.

You paint?

Sí. Yo paint. $20 an hour.

$20 an hour?

- Sí. - Bueno, bueno.

Perfecto, yeah, yeah.

Soy hombre de negocios, güey.

Aprendan el inglés.

Thank you. Sorry.

I'm Sean.

Sean.

- Ernesto. - Ernesto.

Nice to meet you, Ernesto.

Do you want music? The radio?

¿Quieres música?

Yeah, that's too depressing.

Radiohead or whoever that is loves to complain.

No entiendo, señor. No, no hablo inglés.

Oh, that's completely fine.

I don't speak Spanish, apart from a couple of words.

Hablo un poquito español.

So it's like why would you speak English?

There's no sign of rain on the horizon.

Coastline is bone dry.

- Oh, no, it's okay, I got it. - Está bien.

- You have your bag? - Está bien.

Okay, you sure?

Thank you.

Right through here.

Oh, are you thirsty? You want water?

Um, ¿quieres agua?

Sorry. I should've asked you.

This is sparkling, but I have tap or still or...

All right, yeah, so the deck is just this way.

Right through here.

There it is.

Oh, yeah, it's LA.

Es más que un día.

It's more than one day? It's just a little circle.

Si, pero hay mucho que hacer.

Vez, mira hay que lijar todo esto. Es más que un día.

I don't know what that means,

but more than one day is in there, I guess?

- Es more one day. - More than one day.

Two days?

No sé. Pero es más que un día.

It's more than one day.

More one day.

Es más que one day.

- Is more one day. - Más que one day.

Got it, yeah.

Bueno, bueno. Perfecto, yes.

I'll set this down here for you.

Sorry.

If we have one... if I have one...

it should be in here.

Oh, there's a light.

See it yet?

Aha.

That's what I thought.

- Watch your head there. - Yo lo llevo.

Okay.

¡Más agua!

Yeah.

Are you hungry?

Do you want... Do you bring your lunch?

Do you, um, comer?

Más tarde, tengo mucho trabajo aquí.

Okay, you like to eat later, yeah? All right, um...

You know what? I'm gonna go out.

Are you okay here?

You all set? You got everything you need?

- If you need anything... - It's okay, okay.

Mi casa, su casa.

- It's okay. - Right? Okay.

- It's okay. - Okay?

- It's okay. - All right.

Lunch!

Lunch.

Okey, ¿cómo estamos aquí?

No, no, lunch.

Inside. I brought it for us.

- Aquí teng... - Come on, lunch.

Lunch, lunch.

Lunch.

Oh, no, no, no.

¡Sí! Sí, por favor. Siéntate.

Comer.

Napkins.

You gotta try these.

It's good, isn't it?

Bueno? Yeah, I know, right?

Great Vietnamese place down the street.

We go... I go there all the time.

The lines are crazy, but it's worth it, I think.

And the reviews on Yelp are off the scale.

Taquitos.

Yeah.

"It was just a flash flood."

"I talk to people all the time."

Finito.

- Finito. - ¿Finito?

No, it looks great. I love it.

Pero, um, más tarde.

- Okay? Follow me. - Más tarde.

- Yeah? - Sale.

Vamos.

It's a surprise, okay? Sorpresa?

Sorpresa, sí.

¡Caray!

Gotcha.

- There you go. - Gracias.

Un momento, okay? Un momento.

Ernesto!

Órale, pues. Ándale.

¡Raspados de piña colada y tamarindo!

Te conoció el muchacho.

- What? - Te conoció.

- He knows who I am? - Sí.

Oh, he... probably thinks I'm somebody else.

- Happens sometimes. - Ah.

Ta-da!

No.

I rented it for us.

No.

- Oh, come on, get in. - No, no, no.

Oh, come on.

No. Tú put atrás.

No, no, I'm gonna row.

Yo lo hago.

Okay, if you hago, will you get in?

Ponte atrás. Ponte atrás.

- You'll get in? - Sí.

Okay, yeah, all right.

You got it? You got it?

Okay?

Ahí estamos.

All right.

Okay.

Oh, wow.

You're good at this.

This is so great.

Gracias.

I haven't done this in such a long time.

It's not really something you do on your own.

That would look very odd.

Actually, the lake was closed for a few years.

They drained it. It's been cleaned, restored.

Have you done this before? Another time?

¿Otro tiempo?

Last time I was here,

this massive seagull shit on my arm.

You know, a bird. Like that.

Caca. Splat.

Can you imagine shitting on someone's arm?

You think I'm crazy, don't you?

I bet you think I'm crazy. Loco.

Un poco, sí.

Sí.

I'm not really crazy.

But I'll confess I am going through a rough patch.

My ex has been gone for six months now,

and since then, I've been in this... state

that I can't seem to move beyond,

and I can't seem to stop making it worse.

I had a bit of a moment at work the other day.

Bad, like a bad moment.

And because of that, I've been given gardening leave,

even though I only have a deck.

This is the longest stretch I've ever been alone for.

And I have to admit, I'm not good at being alone.

I never have been. I just don't know how to do it.

Since Carlos left, I have thrown myself into work,

and now that that's gone, it's all just a bit...

Maybe everyone had a point.

For the last six months, people have been saying,

"Talk to someone," and I've been saying,

"Well, I would, but I'm just not very good at that."

But maybe those that are bad at it

are those that get the greatest benefit, you know?

I can't believe how much better I feel.

Even for having said as much I have to you, it...

feels good to talk.

Anyone ever tell you

that you are a very good listener, Ernesto?

Qué bonito.

- Hey. - Oh, my gosh.

Sleep well?

I guess I did.

- Thank you. - Sure.

You guys got a "Driving Miss Daisy" thing going on.

He's my friend, and he speaks perfectly good English, so...

Oh, I'm sorry. I was just saying since he's...

Since he's what?

Since he's... he's rowing.

Uh, I don't know, I don't know.

Well, let's just ease up with all the lazy assumptions, okay?

Fuck.

Sorry about that.

So, mañana...

¿Mañana?

You work? ¿Trabajas?

Sí, trabajo mañana.

At the hardwood store?

Store, sí.

Because the painting, it's more than one day.

You said it.

Es más que un día.

Sí. More one day.

So, ¿mañana?

Claro que sí.

What time?

Mañana a las ocho.

8 a.m.

8 a.m. at the hardware store.

- Store. - Okay!

Okay, it's a date.

There you go.

Gracias.

That was the weirdest bit on TV the other day.

I didn't know they let you just roll with shit.

Just improvise, you know?

I nearly fell off the treadmill.

We try to keep it fresh. We're good that way.

Great. I loved it.

Thank you.

Hey, it's Carlos. I can't take your call

because I'm busy and important person.

Leave a message.

Hey, it's me.

Um, just wanted to let you know that...

I met someone.

Yeah, so you don't have to worry about me.

I met someone, and I am doing great.

He's terrific, so...

Oh!

Oh, mi chamba. Nos vemos, ¿eh?

Morning.

Ready for a buen día?

You like hiking?

- Hiking? - Yeah, do you hike?

Hike.

- No. - Um...

Hiking, it's like, um, like walking.

Ambulamos.

For no reason.

Up a hill, you know?

- Hiking. - No.

No?

Sometimes I go up to Runyon Canyon,

but there are a lot of actors and actresses

and a few meth heads here and there,

but they don't bother you, you know?

Just leave 'em alone, they'll leave you alone.

And yeah, it's pretty peaceful, nice views.

And then Fryman's great, too.

It's a little bit harder to get to,

but it's got some really great paths,

although I did see a snake there.

Snake? Like a rattlesnake.

Lots of dogs on the hikes. You know, muchos perros.

Yeah, me gusta perros. I like the pequeño.

- Pequeño perros. - Chihuahua.

Chihuahua, yeah. You like Chihuahuas?

Chihuahua es un estado en México.

Chihuahua is a state in Mexico.

Very LA.

Very Los Angeles.

Este... vamos ¿hasta arriba allá?

What, to the top? Sí.

¿Hasta arriba es el trabajo?

No, no, no, no, no, this is el trabajo.

The walking.

Aquí es el trabajo.

- ¿Caminar es el trabajo? - Sí, walking.

- For work. - No painting?

Más tarde, más tarde.

¿Vale? ¿Por favor?

- ¿Por favor? - Vale, vale.

¡Vale!

Hello.

How do you say "gay" in Spanish?

¿Qué?

¿Cómo se dice the men para allá?

Ah, maricón.

Maricón.

En ingles es "faggot," no?

Oh!

Sort of.

Soy...

Maricón, sí, ya lo sé.

Y yo tengo cinco hijos.

You have five kids?

Yes, five kids, I have.

And a wife.

Sí, y una esposa también.

Y los hijos, ¿cuánto...

El más chico tiene seis años,

y el más grande, tiene treinta y ocho.

Six years old to twenty-five years old.

Sí. No, no, no.

- Treinta y ocho. - 35 years old.

- Ocho. - 38. Sorry.

Sí, sí.

How old are you?

Yo tengo cincuenta cinco años.

- So you're fifty-five? - Sí.

Oh.

Y también... y soy un abuelo.

- You're a grandfather? - Sí.

Oh, my God.

Estoy viejo.

Wow.

So clear today.

- Claro. - Claro.

Where do you live?

¿Por qué?

Oh, no, I'm just curious.

It's no big deal, you know.

You could see the whole city, so I...

Para allá.

Pico Rivera.

Pico Rivera?

Near Whittier.

- Is far. - Oh.

Mira.

Oh, my gosh!

Look at your family! Wow!

Is that... Is he your son?

No, no son. Es mi cuñado.

- Vivimos en su casa. - Oh, he's your brother.

No, no, no, mi esposa...

Oh, he's your brother-in-law.

Okay, lo siento, lo siento.

Wow.

Beautiful family.

Gracias.

You're lucky.

Sí.

You know, while we're up here, will you take my picture?

- Take a picture for me? - Sí, sí, claro.

Okay, just, uh...

hit that button right there.

Yeah? Okay.

Alrighty.

Ah!

Hey, Sean!

Oh, my... Tom!

Hi! How are you?

I'm good, man. How are you?

- I'm good, good. - Good to see ya.

Good to see you, yeah. This is Ernesto.

Hey, do you guys want a picture?

Yes! Yeah, that's a great idea.

I'll take that.

I got it, honey. You get in.

Come on, over here.

Here we go.

Cute couple.

Oh.

There you go.

So listen, we're gonna see you tomorrow.

- Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow. - Great.

- Looking forward to it. - Likewise. Okay, bye.

- Tell Stan I say hi. - I will.

Mi amigo.

Claro.

Let's see.

Ooh! Oh, you look good in that one, don't you?

- Con permiso. - Yeah, please, go ahead.

- Es mi esposa. - Oh, it's your wife.

Mi llama, say hello, where are you?

Oh, she worries about you.

You're a lucky man.

Si, lucky, pero, ¿sabes qué? Estar casado es trabajo.

Yes! It is work.

Yeah. Like painting.

Sí, sí.

Painting more one day.

Así nomás, el primer día.

Big, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, every day is different. Yeah, every day is different.

Right? One day at a time.

Go down? Yeah, let's do it, okay.

It's so pretty up here, isn't it?

You know, the truth is, I don't care about the weather.

I never wanted to be a weatherman.

And there's nothing special about being one either.

Maybe they used to,

but they don't actually know anything about the weather.

Anything more than you or I.

They just know how to be on camera.

I was trying to do other stuff,

and I just fell into reading the weather.

And then you get known for it. You can't do other stuff.

You're getting paid.

I'll let you in on a secret.

I never even wanted to live in LA.

Look, look at my skin.

It looks tan, but I have lots of freckles.

A friend of Carlos had this dog

who could not stand the weather here.

I mean, permanently listless, chapped nose, hardly ate.

He sent him back east,

and he is so damn happy ever since.

That's me!

I'm just completely opposed to nature.

I guess I've always harbored a perverse attraction

towards the things that are the worst for me.

It's internalized homophobia, you know?

Blah, blah, fuckin' blah, I know.

It's the oldest story in the book,

but we're encoded at such a young age.

For the longest time, Ernesto,

I was only ever attracted to straight married men.

My subconscious had clearly decided to build a wall

to thwart my own happiness,

to protect me from feelings of self-loathing.

It's like why are we programmed to thwart our own happiness?

No te entiendo.

That's okay. Just let me finish.

Then after years of unhappiness,

of dumb sessions with married men,

on a shitty work trip to Lake Tahoe,

I found a guy I really liked,

and he liked me right back.

And I'm telling you, Ernesto, it felt like a fucking miracle.

And now, here I am.

Talk about a vicious circle.

Do you think LA is haunted?

No sé lo que es eso.

I know, right? You can feel it.

Algo...

It's layer after layer of sadness,

settling into the city like sedimentary rock.

Water?

Gracias.

I guess we're all nuts in different ways.

You probably have your own neuroses and tics.

What are you scared of?

Uh... bueno la inmigración.

Oh, immigration. Yeah, that's...

That is scary..

I'm sorry about that.

With California in the midst of a severe drought...

I always come here after a hike.

There's so many great... vegatales y frutas.

You know what? I have a surprise for you.

I'll be right back.

Dude, you're late!

The other ones are already at the truck.

Lo siento.

Just take those.

Lo siento.

Ta-da! Here you go.

Here, take that one. It's more.

Yeah, okay?

No, está malo.

Well, yeah, I guess it doesn't actually taste good,

but I suppose the way it tastes is not their aim.

It's health.

Está malo.

You're right. It's fuckin' vile.

But I'm gonna drink it anyway 'cause it cost 15 bucks.

Whoo!

- Want that one? - No, no, no.

Hold my nose for this one.

Whoo!

¿Terminanos?

Oh! Oh, yeah, okay.

I'll drop you back to the hardware store?

Sí, the store.

Again, gracias for today.

Para hoy.

¿Ya no pintamos? ¿Pintar?

No, no painting, no.

We didn't paint today.

Here you go.

Gracias.

Wait, uh, ¿mañana?

¿Mañana? ¿Pintar mañana?

Sí, some painting and then something más tarde.

It's a thing. A fun thing.

It'll be fun.

Sale.

Mañana aqui.

Mañana aqui.

You have one new voice message.

Seanie, they're saying rain?

Is that even possible? I mean...

it's dry as a bone out there,

and I cannot remember what clouds look like,

and yet rain is forecast.

Isn't that wild? LA is so weird.

Anyway, this is a flimsy pretext

for me saying I miss you, so call me.

I'm just too afraid to have you as an enemy.

- Hi. - Damn right.

Oh, I see you brought a guest. I'm so happy for you.

Hey. I met Ernesto yesterday with Sean when I was hiking.

Ernesto, this is my husband Stanley.

Come on in.

Oh, my gosh, hi.

Nice to see you, hi.

- How are you? It's been awhile. - I'm good, I'm good.

Hi, I'm Mike.

Oh, sorry. This is Ernesto.

Ernesto, mucho gusto.

So how'd you guys meet?

How did we meet? We, um...

We met at the hardware store.

I get it.

Nobody wants to say they met on Grindr.

Yes, yes.

Precisely, it's...

Come say hi to Ben and Dave.

Oh, okay, sure, yeah. You wanna...

- Uh... - Oh, okay.

I'll bring him right back, all right?

Hey, everything okay?

Yes, uh, okay. Everything, everything.

All right, you wanna come meet some of my amigos?

¿Amigos? Claro.

Yes.

Esta la sé.

- You know this song? - Sí.

Will you turn this up?

Thank you.

Come on, Ernesto, let's see what you got.

- Es Madonna. - Let's see what you got.

Yes! I like it.

A ver, a ver. a ver, viene la palabra.

Oh, no.

Muchas, muchas gracias.

Uh, mi dinero.

Oh! Yes, right.

Uh...

Two hundred, right, is it?

I think it's, uh...

- Thank you. - Gracias.

Uh, second stop, please.

The long-running drought that has scorched

the Central California basin for the last four or so years,

might well be coming to an end.

Long-range weather reports suggest that rain

might finally be coming in the next week or so.

Hey, it's Carlos. I can't take your call

because I'm a busy and important person.

Leave a message.

Hey, it's Carlos. I can't take your call

because I'm a busy and important...

Hey, it's Carlos. I can't take your call

because I'm a busy...

Susie! What's up, honey?

Hi, Sean, hi.

Hi. You look... relaxed.

Yeah, yeah, I feel great. Super chill.

But focused, you know?

Just ready. Ready to get back to work.

Right now?

No, no.

Not now, not today.

Okay.

'Cause you just came in like... brah!

Tomorrow. I'm just letting Ash know I'm ready.

Wait, wait, wait, Sean.

You know, you've been given leave for a reason,

so I think you should take that time and get some rest.

I've taken time. I've rested,

and now I'm ready to come back to work.

Well, you took like four days.

I'm a doer, Susan. You know this.

And to be honest, I feel like the time off is the problem.

I don't think it's good for me.

Hey...

will you do me a favor?

Will you just, um, take one more week.

Okay? Can you do that for me?

No.

Wait, Sean.

Hey, Monica!

Hey, you're back.

- I'm back. - Awesome.

- Braylen. - You're back?

I'm back.

So back.

- Hey, you're back. - Yeah.

- Hey, Sean. - Hey.

Sean, how are you?

Ah!

Sensational, yeah.

This time is for you to rest.

Yes, yes, and the last four days

have really helped me to figure stuff out,

and now I am fighting-fit.

I'm ready to come back to work.

- We have a brand to protect. - Sure.

The weather is important.

You're preaching to the choir.

They wanna feel like they're in safe hands.

Yes.

The hot, dry gusts...

Hmm?

You want me to watch it with you?

Yeah.

Okay.

The hot gu...

Yup, I think we're good.

Children watch our show.

Children cry all the time.

We haven't even gone viral.

So far, you're only at 112,753 views.

That's a lot. I mean, it's only been four days.

Exactly.

So go home and rest.

Just let the dust settle.

I can't!

Please.

Oh, I'm sorry. I gotta take this.

It's Washington.

Oh, it's the president?

Someone who lives in Washington.

It's Ash.

Hey!

Uh-huh, yes.

No, no, no, I can talk, I can talk.

Uh-huh, yeah, yeah.

Close it. Thank you.

I tell you, we've heard this one before.

For now, drought restrictions remain in place

throughout the state,

also recorded reservoir levels

and a critically low snow pack in the Sierra Mountains.

Even if the rain doesn't come,

we're looking at some pretty dire consequences

for the Golden State.

Certainly no turning on the fire hydrants

or jumping around in...

Hola. Hola.

- Hola. - Do you know Ernesto?

¿Necesitas trabajador?

No, no, no, no. Do you know a man named Ernesto?

Ernesto, Ernesto...

Sí, yeah, do you know him?

No.

This is Ernesto.

Ernesto. Do you know him, guys?

Hey, I see you smiling. You remember me.

You know Ernesto.

Oh, come on, amigo. I know you know Ernesto.

I saw you getting out of the truck with him a few days back.

Guys, guys, it's importante.

I badly need to get in touch with Ernesto.

Hey, I can paint. You need a painter?

You remember me. You know Ernesto.

Y yo sé remar, ¿eh?

What did he say? What are you guys saying?

He says he can row a boat.

Hey, you wanna hire me?

We can take a hike.

Please help me find Ernesto.

Please.

It's not trouble, okay? I promise.

We're sorry.

You have reached a number that's been disconnected

or is no longer in service.

If you feel you have reached this recording in error,

please check the number and try your call again.

We're sorry.

You have reached a number that's been disconnected.

Hey, Gloria!

Hey, Sean. How are you?

I'm fine. How are you?

I'm good.

Good to hear from you.

- Yeah, you too. - What's up?

Well, I just dialed Carlos' cell phone number,

and it says it's out of service.

Why did you call the number?

I mean, it was... It was one of those butt dials, you know?

Okay.

- Are you good, Sean? - Yeah, I'm good.

I was wondering what's going on with Carlos' cell phone number

'cause it sounded like it'd been disconnected.

It was disconnected.

What?

We stopped the bill payment.

Why? Why would you do... I don't understand why you...

Because Carlos is dead.

He's been dead for six months. He's gone.

- Was it the money? - What?

I would've paid. I would've paid the bill.

- Carlos' phone bill. - It wasn't the money.

Are you okay, Sean?

Yes! I'm fine, I'm fine! I just...

I have to go, okay? I have to go.

It was great to hear from you.

I'll call you soon, okay?

Okay, Sean.

Okay.

Last time I was here, a massive seagull

just shit on my arm.

Splat, caca.

Can you imagine shitting on someone's arm?

Because the painting, it's more than one day.

You said it. Es más que un día.

Feel that wind?

Whoo!

All right.

Hey, what's up?

Hey.

You're fast.

You're wet.

Yeah, I just showered, so...

Come on in.

Wow. Sick view up here.

Oh, thank you, thank you.

Can I get you a drink?

No. It's a little early for me.

Oh, yeah, no, of course.

I meant iced tea or soda.

No, thank you.

No?

Guess you didn't have far to travel.

No, I'm downtown.

What do you do down there?

I'm a nurse.

A nurse? That's a nice job.

Oh, shit! Fuck!

- I'm so sorry. - You okay?

Yeah, no, I'm fine.

I just keep smashing glasses today.

- It's my second one. - Yeah?

Let me just clean this up. You look great, by the way.

It's nothing to do with that.

Clean that up later. Let me help you out, actually.

No! There's splinters!

Don't come in here in your... socks.

Okay.

All better.

Tell me about yourself.

Are you okay there, buddy?

Yeah, yeah, I'm good.

It's just...

You have blood all over your hands

and like literally all over your face.

- Oh, my God, fuck. - Your hands are shaking.

No, no, I don't think so.

There we go.

All set.

- Have you been drinking? - No! No!

What?

I mean, a little.

Things have been somewhat nutty for me recently.

Can we just talk for a little bit?

Yeah. What do you want to talk about?

I don't know. You know you wanna just maybe put on some pants

so we can talk?

Yeah.

Dude, are you okay?

Uh...

I just, uh...

I have to brush my teeth really quick. Be right back.

Yeah, no, it's fine.

I took my clothes off because I assumed that we were...

Oh, no, I know, I just...

Give me one second.

Yeah.

I don't know what happened,

but my profile picture is accurate,

and I didn't misrepresent myself.

No, no, my God, you didn't.

It's not you. It's my issue. I just...

I'm looking for someone...

Younger, yeah.

No! Oh, my God.

If anything, the other way.

I guess...

I'm just looking for someone who looks like a specific person.

Huh.

Look, I have wasted a lot of time

trying to find someone to fix something

that was broken inside of me.

Are you hungry?

- No, thank you. - Let's hang out.

Just stay for a while. I can make you some food.

You need lunch, and I'm an idiot.

No, you're not an idiot, and neither am I, okay?

No one else can make you happy, Sean.

Stay.

Have a good day.

Motherfucker.

You fucker.

Excuse me.

Hi. Where is everyone? You know, the men.

Dude, it's Labor Day.

Thank you!

Here's what I found for directions to Pico Rivera.

Get on the CA 2 from North Eagle Rock Boulevard.

Take the I-S to Slauson Avenue in Commerce.

How many people are in Pico Rivera?

As of 2010,

the population of Pico Rivera was 62,942.

Here's what I found on the web

for how many Ernestos live in Pico Rivera.

Excuse me!

Hola!

Hola.

Does a man named Ernesto live near here?

He's about five-eight.

You don't know?

Okay, gracias.

Man.

Hola.

Uh, have you seen this guy?

Who is it, John Connor?

Hey, man, look, whoever it is, it's not my business.

No, it's not trouble, okay?

He's a friend of mine. Ernesto is a guy I know.

A guy I made a pretty strong connection with,

and I'm just hoping to find him.

And you're asking me because...

I miss him.

Naw, man. Why would I know him?

Well, he lives in this part of Pico Rivera,

so I thought maybe...

You know how many Ernestos are in Pico Rivera?

Yeah.

Let me see, man.

No. Never seen him.

Okay, I found this on the web

for where do people eat out in Pico Rivera.

Hey!

No!

No!

Oh, you fucker.

Hey, go the fuck home, hipster.

¡Chíngate!

A beer, a shot, and some ice, please.

Some ice, please.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

There you are!

No, no!

No further, no further.

We're amigos.

We're amigos, right?

I just wanted...

How do you say "coyote" in Spanish?

Oh, come on! Somebody!

Como se dice "coyote" en español?

Coyote.

Coyote?

That's interesting.

Do you hear coyotes here at night?

You know, like "aroo!"

Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi!

'Cause in the evenings up where I am,

I hear coyotes every night.

And when there was two of us up there, Ernesto,

I used to love that sound.

Carlos and I would sit out on the deck,

and that sound just made me... shiver.

But in a good way.

But these days, when I hear 'em,

all I hear is just lonely animals crying out.

And the dogs in the neighborhood barking back,

all they're saying is that beneath all the fetching

and the rolling over and giving the paw,

they're just as lonely!

They're just lonely dogs, Ernesto.

They're just so lonely.

And it was making me loco.

And, uh...

I wanted you to know. Whoa!

Hey! Hey! No!

I can walk! I'm fine! Don't...

Uh... ambulamo.

Órale, güey. Vente para acá, mira.

A ver, las piernas en la cama.

"Dear Ernesto,

I am so ashamed to have crashed your party.

I have to try to explain.

You have a kind face, Ernesto.

So kind.

I met you when I was broken,

and I took advantage of your kindness.

But I know now that it takes time.

So no more shortcuts.

I'm going back to the start.

I'm gonna try to fix myself.

Just like the deck, it's more than one day.

Remember?

Thank you for listening.

I won't bother you again."

97 in Riverside.

Staying in the lower 80s in Malibu, Santa Monica.

As we look ahead to the weekend, upper 80s, Saturday and Sunday,

and then that will continue

with more warm weather through next week.

Finally... and I'm gonna go a little off-piste here...

I'd like to take this opportunity

to tell you, my friends,

that this will be my final weather report for KPCK.

I've had a wonderful time on this job

and met a ton of great people on the streets of Los Angeles.

But people change.

Like the weather.

Now all that remains is for me to offer gratitude to you all

and to wish you happy times in the sunshine.

Well, good luck, Sean.

A two-ton truck of avocados

overturned on the northbound 405...

Don't go!

Ah! Thank you.

Holy guacamole!

That's gonna put a dent on your travel time...

Okay.

Here it is, officially.

Is it the weather?

Do you hate it here, Sean?

'Cause I gotta tell ya,

I really fuckin' love it.

I love it here too.

This place is like a dream to me.

Bye, Ash.

Bye.

Hi there, young man, you okay?

You know my dad?

- Um, why are you guys here? - My dad wanted to.

We tried before. House was always empty.

Come on in.

No, no, no, no. You don't have to do this, okay?

He spent the last $200 you left for him with the letter.

Yeah, no, that wasn't for this.

That was for...

room and board.

Will you tell him?

No era para eso. Era para habitación y comida.

He wants to know if you still hear the coyotes.

Tell him not as much.

No mucho.

Can I?

¿Música?

Sí.

No te pago.

No pay?

I'll see you in court.

Como Judge Judy.
