[soft rustling]
3
00:00:14,598 --> 00:00:15,724
Check, check.
4
00:00:15,724 --> 00:00:17,476
[snapping]
5
00:00:17,476 --> 00:00:18,560
Rolling.

00:00:23,190 --> 00:00:28,904
[crickets chirping]
7
00:00:28,904 --> 00:00:34,117
[snow crunching underfoot]

[distant owl hooting]

00:00:47,506 --> 00:00:53,178
[reading sign]
10
00:00:54,555 --> 00:00:58,684
Yep. Made that very clear
on your nine emails.
11
00:01:07,526 --> 00:01:09,736
[sighs] Yeah.
12
00:01:14,992 --> 00:01:16,326
[click]
13
00:01:23,875 --> 00:01:25,168
Hello?
14
00:01:32,676 --> 00:01:33,844
[door closes]
15
00:01:35,637 --> 00:01:36,847
It's Mike.
16
00:01:55,991 --> 00:01:57,242
[Mike mutters]
17
00:02:04,207 --> 00:02:05,792
| got the script.
18
00:02:12,924 --> 00:02:14,217
Hello?
19
00:02:18,513 --> 00:02:19,890
MAN: [stage whispering] Hey!
20
00:02:21,725 --> 00:02:23,352
Are you rolling?
21
00:02:23,852 --> 00:02:25,145
MIKE: | am.
22
00:02:30,67 --> 00:02:31,860
MAN: Are you gonna
yell "action"?
23
00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:33,820
MIKE: Oh. Uh...
24
00:02:35,197 --> 00:02:37,574
[clears throat] Action!
25
00:02:39,76 --> 00:02:41,411
[dramatically]
On that fateful evening,
26
00:02:41,411 --> 00:02:44,831
| was not yet a killer.
27
00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:49,878
My thirst for blood
was as of a small child,
28
00:02:49,878 --> 00:02:53,590
or... a baby wolf.
29
00:02:54,758 --> 00:02:58,53
| was merely perched
on the precipice
30
00:02:58,53 --> 00:03:01,181
of the encroaching darkness.
31
00:03:03,684 --> 00:03:06,19
- MIKE: Uh...
- [pages rustling]
32
00:03:06,770 --> 00:03:10,190
"So, are you saying
you chose to become a vampire?"
33
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:11,525
[laughing]
34
00:03:11,525 --> 00:03:14,861
Oh, my child, were it so simple.
35
00:03:14,861 --> 00:03:18,782
But what is choice and
what is destiny, | cannot say.
36
00:03:18,782 --> 00:03:20,701
| only know this:
37
00:03:21,451 --> 00:03:25,497
as | watched the glorious day
38
00:03:25,497 --> 00:03:32,170
fade into a delicious,
blood-red sunset,
39
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:36,800
I willingly said goodbye
to the sun.
40
00:03:38,135 --> 00:03:44,766
| chose to become
that which I am now.
41
00:03:50,522 --> 00:03:52,274
- [hissing]
- [Mike exclaims]
42
00:03:52,274 --> 00:03:54,568
MAN: Oh! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
43
00:03:54,568 --> 00:03:56,445
Oh, my God. Did you feel that?
44
00:03:56,445 --> 00:03:57,904
That was incredible! Oh, my God!
45
00:03:57,904 --> 00:03:59,614
That's why you always
roll on the first take!
46
00:03:59,614 --> 00:04:01,158
That's why we always
roll on the first take!
47
00:04:01,158 --> 00:04:03,160
You-- you-- you were incredible.
48
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,745
Get over here.
| love you, man. Come on.
49
00:04:04,745 --> 00:04:07,414
- [both grunt]
- What's your name again?
50
00:04:07,414 --> 00:04:10,00
- MIKE: Uh, Mike.
- Mike.
51
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:13,754
| like Mike. Mm-hmm. Magic Mike.
52
00:04:13,754 --> 00:04:15,964
It's gonna be
a great night, Mike.
53
00:04:15,964 --> 00:04:17,841
Gonna be a great night!
54
00:04:20,510 --> 00:04:23,638
[Mike exhales] Holy shit.
55
00:04:24,514 --> 00:04:28,894
[eerie theme music]
56
00:04:40,363 --> 00:04:47,537
oss
57
00:04:56,463 --> 00:04:58,757
MIKE: Hey, I'm, uh,
all set up out here.
58
00:04:58,757 --> 00:05:00,634
MAN: Sorry, | can't hear you.
Come on in.
59
00:05:01,718 --> 00:05:03,720
- MIKE: Oh, sorry.
- It's okay.
60
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,14
| was just saying I'm all set up
out there whenever you're ready.
61
00:05:06,14 --> 00:05:07,140
Mm-hmm.
62
00:05:07,557 --> 00:05:09,559
- MIKE: Cool.
- MAN: Hey, Mike?
63
00:05:10,101 --> 00:05:11,394
[spits]
64
00:05:14,231 --> 00:05:16,817
Uh, I just wanna Say...
65
00:05:16,817 --> 00:05:21,488
| know this whole setup
is a little awkward.
66
00:05:21,488 --> 00:05:25,33
You know?
Some guy, | pay you $1,000
67
00:05:25,33 --> 00:05:27,77
to come all the way
out here and film me,
68
00:05:27,77 --> 00:05:29,79
and | acknowledge that, and...
69
00:05:30,247 --> 00:05:32,457
| appreciate your trust.
70
00:05:33,875 --> 00:05:36,795
So, | wanna be 100% honest
with you about something.
71
00:05:37,420 --> 00:05:38,797
MIKE: Okay.
72
00:05:38,797 --> 00:05:41,341
I'm feeling
very vulnerable tonight.
73
00:05:41,842 --> 00:05:45,595
And sometimes, when | feel
that way, | can get a little...
74
00:05:48,98 --> 00:05:50,16
in the moment.
75
00:05:51,768 --> 00:05:54,104
It's just,
this is very important.
76
00:05:54,104 --> 00:05:55,480
This is my dream.
77
00:05:56,523 --> 00:06:00,26
And now, you are
a partner in that dream.
78
00:06:01,444 --> 00:06:03,697
And now,
I'm getting emotional and I'm--
79
00:06:04,281 --> 00:06:06,783
I'm-- I'm just
trying to say thank you.
80
00:06:06,783 --> 00:06:07,826
Thank you, Mike.
81
00:06:09,411 --> 00:06:10,704
MIKE: You're welcome.
82
00:06:14,416 --> 00:06:15,792
[clap]
83
00:06:16,293 --> 00:06:19,963
Truth. Dedication. Integrity.
84
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:22,757
These are the principles
with which I have lived my life,
85
00:06:22,757 --> 00:06:24,593
and these are
the very principles | plan
86
00:06:24,593 --> 00:06:27,262
to bring with me should
you choose to accept me
87
00:06:27,262 --> 00:06:29,264
into your intent-- Ah! Blah.
88
00:06:29,264 --> 00:06:30,515
MIKE: It's uh...
89
00:06:31,266 --> 00:06:32,601
it's gonna be a cut.
90
00:06:36,313 --> 00:06:37,731
Sorry, one sec.
91
00:06:38,356 --> 00:06:39,649
Get this right.
92
00:06:41,318 --> 00:06:42,861
Yeah,
I know the lighting's important,
93
00:06:42,861 --> 00:06:44,362
but the performance
is what matters here,
94
00:06:44,362 --> 00:06:45,822
so | think we just--
95
00:06:46,323 --> 00:06:48,325
let's just-- I'm ready, so.
96
00:06:48,325 --> 00:06:49,701
MIKE: Okay.
97
00:06:49,701 --> 00:06:52,245
Okay, great. Ready when you are.
98
00:06:52,871 --> 00:06:54,623
- Truth--
- MIKE: Oh, sorry. One sec.
99
00:06:54,623 --> 00:06:55,916
[shouting] Mike!
100
00:06:57,792 --> 00:07:00,921
Can we have a little talk
about process, please?
101
00:07:01,671 --> 00:07:05,175
Truth. Dedication. Integrity.
102
00:07:05,175 --> 00:07:08,11
These are the principles with
which I have lived my life,
103
00:07:08,11 --> 00:07:09,971
and these are
the very principles
104
00:07:09,971 --> 00:07:13,183
| plan to bring with me
should you choose to accept me
105
00:07:13,183 --> 00:07:17,520
into your nine-month intensive
Acting For Camera program.
106
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,273
My name is Jeff Daniels.
107
00:07:20,273 --> 00:07:23,944
| am not that Jeff Daniels,
but | hope with your guidance
108
00:07:23,944 --> 00:07:26,655
to one day achieve
his level of artistry.
109
00:07:26,655 --> 00:07:30,825
I mean, come on.
Speed in 1993, he plays Harry.
110
00:07:30,825 --> 00:07:33,703
The very next year, he plays
another character named Harry
111
00:07:33,703 --> 00:07:35,205
in Dumb and Dumber.
112
00:07:35,205 --> 00:07:37,958
| have that talent.
113
00:07:37,958 --> 00:07:42,87
I have that dedication.
| just need your skills.
114
00:07:42,712 --> 00:07:45,215
Together? [chuckles]
115
00:07:45,215 --> 00:07:48,468
Well... we can make history.
116
00:07:51,721 --> 00:07:54,265
All right, thoughts?
Just-- just hit me with it.
117
00:07:54,265 --> 00:07:57,60
MIKE: Great. I-- | thought
it was great. It was good.
118
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:00,855
That's it? Just good?
119
00:08:01,398 --> 00:08:03,900
MIKE: No, I just-- You know,
we've done a lot of takes,
120
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:06,653
and | think somewhere
in those last 18,
121
00:08:06,653 --> 00:08:08,238
you've-- you've got it.
122
00:08:13,451 --> 00:08:14,744
Huh.
123
00:08:16,246 --> 00:08:17,580
Okay.
124
00:08:18,540 --> 00:08:20,500
So, | don't believe you.
125
00:08:21,251 --> 00:08:23,128
I don't believe that we have it.
126
00:08:23,586 --> 00:08:25,964
| don't think you believe
that we have it.
127
00:08:25,964 --> 00:08:29,300
I think that you are
just saying that we have it
128
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:31,594
so that you can get your $1,000
129
00:08:31,594 --> 00:08:33,430
and leave here
as soon as possible.
130
00:08:33,930 --> 00:08:35,765
And you know what else | think?
131
00:08:37,267 --> 00:08:40,61
| can't-- | can't believe
I'm gonna say this, but...
132
00:08:42,105 --> 00:08:45,608
I think you don't care whether
I get into acting school or not.
133
00:08:46,67 --> 00:08:48,153
Oh, my God, I'm gonna be sick.
I'm gonna be sick.
134
00:08:48,153 --> 00:08:50,697
MIKE: No, no, | think you're
a genuinely good actor.
135
00:08:50,697 --> 00:08:51,906
| don't believe you, Michael.
136
00:08:51,906 --> 00:08:54,117
| don't believe
anything you say.
137
00:08:54,117 --> 00:08:56,119
MIKE: Well,
what do you want from me?
138
00:08:56,119 --> 00:08:58,121
The truth!
139
00:08:58,121 --> 00:08:59,497
That's all.
140
00:08:59,956 --> 00:09:03,793
MIKE: The truth is
I've done a lot of acting reels.
141
00:09:04,377 --> 00:09:05,754
And?
142
00:09:06,421 --> 00:09:07,630
MIKE: And you're...
143
00:09:08,89 --> 00:09:11,134
- up there--
- [shouting] No! No, no!
144
00:09:13,261 --> 00:09:14,304
[door slams]
145
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,105
MIKE: Mr. Daniels?
146
00:09:32,989 --> 00:09:34,74
Hey, Jeff?
147
00:09:40,997 --> 00:09:44,250
So, | think we're,
uh, wrapped here. Um...
148
00:09:44,834 --> 00:09:48,171
I'd like to talk about
the payment we agreed on.
149
00:09:48,171 --> 00:09:50,840
Um, if you got the cash,
that's great,
150
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,95
but | also have Venmo and Zelle
if that works better.
151
00:10:01,142 --> 00:10:03,978
But | am gonna need
the payment before | leave.
152
00:10:08,733 --> 00:10:10,26
[Mike sighs]
153
00:10:35,510 --> 00:10:36,886
God damn it.
154
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:43,852
Shit.
155
00:10:46,229 --> 00:10:49,482
- [Mike screaming]
- [Jeff shouting]
156
00:10:49,482 --> 00:10:51,234
[screaming]
157
00:10:51,234 --> 00:10:53,736
JEFF: Here it is, Mikey!
The truth!
158
00:10:53,736 --> 00:10:55,655
That's what we've been
looking for here tonight.
159
00:10:55,655 --> 00:10:57,73
Look at that beautiful face.
160
00:11:02,704 --> 00:11:04,205
Please give me my camera.
161
00:11:04,205 --> 00:11:06,124
JEFF: Listen,
| understand that you're upset,
162
00:11:06,124 --> 00:11:10,253
but I just wanna say,
I'm so proud of you.
163
00:11:10,253 --> 00:11:13,423
You found the truth
in that bathroom, Mikey.
164
00:11:13,423 --> 00:11:16,551
And while I realize it--
it was uncomfortable for you,
165
00:11:16,551 --> 00:11:18,94
this is where great art begins.
166
00:11:18,94 --> 00:11:20,555
Okay, ple-- please stop talking.
167
00:11:20,555 --> 00:11:22,307
| just want my money, man.
168
00:11:24,392 --> 00:11:26,311
JEFF: What? Really?
169
00:11:27,353 --> 00:11:28,438
You just--
170
00:11:28,771 --> 00:11:30,899
you're just gonna
leave all this behind?
171
00:11:30,899 --> 00:11:32,442
| feel like we just
had a breakthrough,
172
00:11:32,442 --> 00:11:33,526
- | don't--
- [stomp]
173
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:34,777
[Mike sighs]
174
00:11:35,737 --> 00:11:37,238
JEFF:
Oh, Michael.
175
00:11:38,781 --> 00:11:41,284
Did you just put
your foot down with me?
176
00:11:48,541 --> 00:11:49,959
Interesting.
177
00:11:52,754 --> 00:11:54,464
This is getting exciting.
178
00:11:57,592 --> 00:11:59,469
What's he gonna do next?
179
00:12:16,653 --> 00:12:19,155
- Thank you.
- JEFF: You're welcome.
180
00:12:23,785 --> 00:12:26,371
Oh, my. Look at that.
181
00:12:26,371 --> 00:12:29,499
It is really coming down
out there now.
182
00:12:31,00 --> 00:12:32,627
It's a good thing you got,
uh, four-wheel drive
183
00:12:32,627 --> 00:12:34,87
in your car there, Mike, huh?
184
00:12:36,172 --> 00:12:37,382
Well...
185
00:12:37,382 --> 00:12:39,259
[inhales sharply] ...oof.
186
00:12:39,259 --> 00:12:41,511
Even if you get
out of the driveway,
187
00:12:42,53 --> 00:12:44,514
coming down that hill
is gonna be treacherous.
188
00:12:46,57 --> 00:12:49,18
But, that's what
snow chains are for, so.
189
00:12:50,353 --> 00:12:52,313
Oh. No snow chains?
190
00:12:52,313 --> 00:12:54,983
God. They're never really there
when you need ‘em, are they?
191
00:12:56,734 --> 00:12:58,27
Look, I'm--
192
00:12:58,27 --> 00:12:59,362
JEFF: I've got
another $1,000 for you.
193
00:12:59,362 --> 00:13:01,114
I've got a new scene
that just hit me.
194
00:13:01,114 --> 00:13:02,240
I need to show that
same fear and vulnerability
195
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,700
you just showed in the bathroom.
196
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:05,118
| had it all wrong
and | apologize.
197
00:13:05,118 --> 00:13:07,120
| wasted your time.
But this is the thing:
198
00:13:08,79 --> 00:13:09,914
| shouldn't be
playing the villain.
199
00:13:11,541 --> 00:13:13,01
| need to play the victim.
200
00:13:16,212 --> 00:13:17,297
Doot!
201
00:13:18,464 --> 00:13:20,300
[Jeff vocalizing]
202
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:21,92
Ahh!
203
00:13:21,92 --> 00:13:23,469
[cackling] Yeah! Yeah!
204
00:13:27,432 --> 00:13:29,58
MIKE: Okay, lighting set.
205
00:13:31,894 --> 00:13:33,771
All right,
you got a full battery?
206
00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:37,442
Uh, do you wanna tell me about
the scene that we're doing here?
207
00:13:37,442 --> 00:13:40,320
Yeah, I'm James Caan,
you're Kathy Bates. Duh.
208
00:13:41,487 --> 00:13:42,864
Tie me up.
209
00:13:42,864 --> 00:13:44,407
- MIKE: What?
- | need you to tie me up
210
00:13:44,407 --> 00:13:45,992
nice and tight
so | can't get loose,
211
00:13:45,992 --> 00:13:47,618
so when you come
charging through that door
212
00:13:47,618 --> 00:13:50,747
with this bat, we're gonna
see true terror on my face.
213
00:13:50,747 --> 00:13:54,167
The same kind we saw on
your face in that bathroom.
214
00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:56,127
The kind that undeniably
gains admittance
215
00:13:56,127 --> 00:13:58,87
to the most prestigious
nine-month
216
00:13:58,87 --> 00:14:00,48
Acting For Camera program
in this country.
217
00:14:00,48 --> 00:14:01,758
MIKE: Man, I| don't--
I don't know--
218
00:14:01,758 --> 00:14:03,426
- [shouting] Mike!
- [Mike exclaims]
219
00:14:03,426 --> 00:14:05,261
You see? Terror! That's what
I'm talking about, right there.
220
00:14:05,261 --> 00:14:07,430
We just need that look
on my face, okay?
221
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:08,473
So come on, tie me up.
222
00:14:09,432 --> 00:14:10,933
- [shouting] Move it!
- [Mike exclaims]
223
00:14:10,933 --> 00:14:12,477
- MIKE: God.
- Okay.
224
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:17,440
All right, how familiar are you
with the movie Misery?
225
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,317
| mean, yeah,
I've seen the movie.
226
00:14:19,317 --> 00:14:21,277
Okay, good. So you know
how she's always coming in
227
00:14:21,277 --> 00:14:24,113
and kind of threatening him
and terrorizing him, right?
228
00:14:24,113 --> 00:14:25,782
I need you to come
through that door,
229
00:14:25,782 --> 00:14:27,950
I need you to come at me hard.
230
00:14:28,618 --> 00:14:31,371
- What are the lines that I'm--
- We're gonna be improvising.
231
00:14:31,371 --> 00:14:33,831
We don't need lines, man.
This is make-believe.
232
00:14:33,831 --> 00:14:37,418
I need you to make me believe
that you're gonna kill me.
233
00:14:38,02 --> 00:14:39,962
[exhales] Here we go.
234
00:14:40,755 --> 00:14:43,07
And... action!
235
00:14:45,301 --> 00:14:47,804
Whoa, whoa. What are you doing?
236
00:14:47,804 --> 00:14:49,639
- MIKE: What?
- You're-- you gotta be
237
00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:51,474
running and screaming
and yelling and, like--
238
00:14:51,474 --> 00:14:53,226
MIKE: | didn't wanna
yell over your lines.
239
00:14:53,226 --> 00:14:54,644
| thought you were
saying something.
240
00:14:54,644 --> 00:14:55,937
Okay, you don't have to
be that considerate.
241
00:14:55,937 --> 00:14:57,438
Okay? Menacing.
242
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,67
[exhales]
243
00:15:01,67 --> 00:15:02,485
- You ready, Mike?
- MIKE: Yes.
244
00:15:02,485 --> 00:15:04,112
- | said are you ready, Mike?
- MIKE: Yes!
245
00:15:04,112 --> 00:15:06,948
Here we go.
Three, two, one, kill!
246
00:15:06,948 --> 00:15:08,574
I'm gonna cobble you!
247
00:15:08,574 --> 00:15:11,577
Mike, it's-- it's "hobble."
It's not "cobble."
248
00:15:11,577 --> 00:15:15,248
Can you just be a murderer?
It's not that hard.
249
00:15:15,957 --> 00:15:16,999
MIKE: "Hobble.”
250
00:15:16,999 --> 00:15:18,459
[Mike shouting]
251
00:15:18,459 --> 00:15:20,294
- Oh, wait, here's an idea.
- MIKE: Dude.
252
00:15:20,294 --> 00:15:22,296
Next time you come in,
you veer right towards my legs
253
00:15:22,296 --> 00:15:24,841
and just start bashing
my legs with the bat.
254
00:15:24,841 --> 00:15:26,384
Just slam ‘em, and I'll turn.
255
00:15:26,384 --> 00:15:28,553
I can kind of
fake towards camera.
256
00:15:28,553 --> 00:15:30,721
I'll have the big agony
and the tears and all that.
257
00:15:30,721 --> 00:15:32,181
It'd be, I think, pretty cool.
258
00:15:32,181 --> 00:15:34,16
Okay, but I'm not gonna
actually hit your legs--
259
00:15:34,16 --> 00:15:36,144
Mike,
will you please just help me?
260
00:15:36,811 --> 00:15:38,312
Jesus.
261
00:15:40,64 --> 00:15:43,776
Oh, my God, my legs!
I'm never gonna walk again!
262
00:15:43,776 --> 00:15:48,114
No, Annie! No! No!
263
00:15:48,114 --> 00:15:49,824
Oh, my God,
this is so embarrassing.
264
00:15:49,824 --> 00:15:51,325
I'm ashamed of myself, Mike.
265
00:15:51,868 --> 00:15:55,538
Oh, my God. | think we're gonna
have to start from scratch.
266
00:15:56,164 --> 00:15:57,874
How do you erase the camera?
Can we just--
267
00:15:57,874 --> 00:15:59,208
Is there an "erase all" button?
268
00:16:25,67 --> 00:16:26,611
- Penny for your thoughts?
- [Mike gasps]
269
00:16:26,611 --> 00:16:29,238
[scoffs] Will you please
stop doing that, man?
270
00:16:30,573 --> 00:16:31,657
[Mike sighs]
271
00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:35,286
JEFF: Probably thinking about
272
00:16:35,286 --> 00:16:36,579
how you wanna
get out of here, huh?
273
00:16:37,747 --> 00:16:39,81
Yeah, | get it.
274
00:16:41,417 --> 00:16:43,85
It does kind of seem like we hit
275
00:16:43,85 --> 00:16:44,795
a bit of a creative wall
in there, but,
276
00:16:44,795 --> 00:16:46,464
you know, they do say that...
277
00:16:47,381 --> 00:16:49,258
That's right when the magic
happens, you know what I mean?
278
00:16:49,258 --> 00:16:51,344
- It's, like, uh, two seconds...
- |I'm--
279
00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:53,429
- ...before the miracle.
- I'm begging you, man.
280
00:16:53,429 --> 00:16:56,766
Just, please, like, leave me
alone for a little bit until
281
00:16:56,766 --> 00:16:58,935
- the snow stops and | can--
- Just hear me out, okay?
282
00:16:58,935 --> 00:17:00,853
No more-- no more
audition scenes.
283
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:03,773
No more acting school. That was
all ego bullshit anyway, okay?
284
00:17:04,774 --> 00:17:06,567
What if you and | make
285
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:11,447
a film together, tonight?
286
00:17:14,158 --> 00:17:16,35
| saw your short film, Mike.
287
00:17:19,205 --> 00:17:20,706
- You did?
- | liked it.
288
00:17:22,83 --> 00:17:23,918
- Really?
- | didn't love it.
289
00:17:23,918 --> 00:17:25,378
It didn't set the world on fire.
290
00:17:25,378 --> 00:17:27,463
I mean, it felt like
you were kind of just...
291
00:17:27,463 --> 00:17:30,800
scratching the surface of those
characters’ pain, you know?
292
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,51
You were scared.
293
00:17:33,135 --> 00:17:37,181
But we could make a movie
with real pain in it.
294
00:17:39,183 --> 00:17:41,185
Something deeply personal.
295
00:17:42,478 --> 00:17:45,273
A story only
you and I could tell.
296
00:17:49,235 --> 00:17:50,820
What do you think
about that, Mikey?
297
00:17:55,950 --> 00:17:59,36
Yeah, no, | think I'm just gonna
wait for the snow plow to come,
298
00:17:59,36 --> 00:18:00,538
- and I'm gonna--
- I'll give you $2,000,
299
00:18:00,538 --> 00:18:02,164
and we can shoot it
in under an hour.
300
00:18:02,164 --> 00:18:03,666
Yep. Yeah.
301
00:18:08,337 --> 00:18:10,172
So, what's this story?
302
00:18:10,172 --> 00:18:14,51
Don't know yet, Michael.
But I'm excited.
303
00:18:14,51 --> 00:18:15,886
You know,
| once saw this obscure film
304
00:18:15,886 --> 00:18:19,390
from a completely unknown
but deeply talented filmmaker,
305
00:18:19,390 --> 00:18:21,767
and his process,
it was really fascinating.
306
00:18:21,767 --> 00:18:24,687
He would use a combination
of documentary and fiction,
307
00:18:24,687 --> 00:18:26,522
and he would set up
scenarios in which
308
00:18:26,522 --> 00:18:29,25
the people would-- would
play things that were simple
309
00:18:29,25 --> 00:18:30,860
and close to home for them.
310
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:33,362
For instance, if he was here
tonight, | think he would say,
311
00:18:33,362 --> 00:18:35,823
“Why don't you just play
a guy who's hired someone
312
00:18:35,823 --> 00:18:37,867
“to come up
and film his audition video?
313
00:18:37,867 --> 00:18:39,452
“You know, he's a little
awkward, a little strange."
314
00:18:39,452 --> 00:18:42,163
And you could play
a struggling filmmaker,
315
00:18:42,163 --> 00:18:43,748
right, who's a little annoyed,
316
00:18:43,748 --> 00:18:46,83
wants to get out of there
as soon as he can with his cash.
317
00:18:46,83 --> 00:18:47,460
It's great, right?
318
00:18:48,878 --> 00:18:50,212
MIKE: Sure.
319
00:18:55,92 --> 00:18:56,344
Set.
320
00:18:56,344 --> 00:18:57,470
JEFF: [whispering]
Are you rolling?
321
00:18:57,470 --> 00:18:59,138
- MIKE: Yes.
- JEFF: Okay,
322
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:00,222
I'll lead you into it.
You just follow me.
323
00:19:00,222 --> 00:19:01,515
MIKE: Okay.
324
00:19:02,933 --> 00:19:04,226
JEFF: Action!
325
00:19:05,227 --> 00:19:06,896
Hey, are you Mike?
326
00:19:06,896 --> 00:19:08,272
MIKE: | am. Hi.
327
00:19:08,856 --> 00:19:10,358
Oh, my God.
328
00:19:11,108 --> 00:19:13,235
Oh, my God,
this is gonna be a good night.
329
00:19:13,235 --> 00:19:15,905
You know, you have
a really nice, kind face.
330
00:19:16,614 --> 00:19:17,782
MIKE: Thanks.
331
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:19,408
Can | get a hug, Mike?
332
00:19:19,950 --> 00:19:21,410
MIKE: Uh, sure.
333
00:19:21,410 --> 00:19:23,371
[Jeff chuckles] All right.
334
00:19:25,206 --> 00:19:26,540
Gotta ask first these days.
335
00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:27,958
You don't want HR
coming after you,
336
00:19:27,958 --> 00:19:29,126
you know what | mean? [chuckles]
337
00:19:29,126 --> 00:19:30,294
[Mike chuckles awkwardly]
338
00:19:31,379 --> 00:19:33,422
So, you haven't asked me
about the axe yet, Mike.
339
00:19:34,48 --> 00:19:35,132
MIKE: Sorry?
340
00:19:35,466 --> 00:19:37,134
You know, the axe
in the stump right there.
341
00:19:37,134 --> 00:19:38,803
| just-- | assumed
you'd be curious
342
00:19:38,803 --> 00:19:40,680
as to how that might
play into the scene.
343
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,473
MIKE: Yeah,
it had crossed my mind.
344
00:19:42,473 --> 00:19:44,100
Yeah, I'll bet it did!
345
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:45,768
But look,
I don't want you to worry. Okay.
346
00:19:45,768 --> 00:19:47,770
It's just rubber,
you know? It's fake.
347
00:19:47,770 --> 00:19:48,854
Here, you wanna test it?
348
00:19:50,231 --> 00:19:51,816
Good. | just want you
to be comfortable,
349
00:19:51,816 --> 00:19:54,777
because in a few moments,
| am going to be swinging
350
00:19:54,777 --> 00:19:57,738
this axe full force
towards the base of your skull.
351
00:19:57,738 --> 00:19:58,823
Cool?
352
00:19:59,281 --> 00:20:00,616
- Cool.
- All right, cool.
353
00:20:00,616 --> 00:20:03,119
So, | say we ditch
the victim idea.
354
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,495
That wasn't working, right?
355
00:20:04,495 --> 00:20:06,163
And we go back to me
playing the villain.
356
00:20:06,163 --> 00:20:09,291
But not like
a 19th century vampire.
357
00:20:09,291 --> 00:20:10,960
That was kind of dumb.
What if | just play, like,
358
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,796
a regular, every day,
average guy villain?
359
00:20:13,796 --> 00:20:15,297
The last guy in the world
you'd think
360
00:20:15,297 --> 00:20:16,841
would be a serial killer, right?
361
00:20:16,841 --> 00:20:20,511
And then, when you watch
the whole nuanced performance
362
00:20:20,511 --> 00:20:23,597
all the way to the climax,
you realize,
363
00:20:23,597 --> 00:20:26,559
this guy's been dropping hints
the whole way.
364
00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:29,562
Carefully placed Easter eggs.
365
00:20:29,562 --> 00:20:34,150
And you think, "This guy
might be capable of murder!"
366
00:20:34,150 --> 00:20:35,860
Like, take the axe,
for instance. Right?
367
00:20:35,860 --> 00:20:39,989
So emotionally, on my face,
playing anxiety, worry. Right?
368
00:20:39,989 --> 00:20:42,658
But when you go back
and you watch the footage,
369
00:20:42,658 --> 00:20:45,453
the physicality of him
with the axe?
370
00:20:45,828 --> 00:20:49,248
Calm. Cool. Collected.
371
00:20:49,749 --> 00:20:51,834
MIKE: Wait, sorry.
Are you describing the scene,
372
00:20:51,834 --> 00:20:53,669
or are you actually
doing the scene?
373
00:20:53,669 --> 00:20:56,05
Exactly. The naturalism is
what it's all about, right?
374
00:20:56,05 --> 00:20:57,506
The acting is so good,
375
00:20:57,506 --> 00:20:59,508
you don't even know
what's acting and what's not.
376
00:20:59,508 --> 00:21:01,802
It's like-- it's like a magic
trick. Like sleight of hand.
377
00:21:02,887 --> 00:21:04,263
Speaking of which...
378
00:21:05,14 --> 00:21:06,515
when you think about it,
379
00:21:07,141 --> 00:21:10,352
did you get enough time
to test that axe properly?
380
00:21:11,312 --> 00:21:12,605
Are you sure it's fake?
381
00:21:13,481 --> 00:21:15,24
He only offered you the handle.
382
00:21:15,24 --> 00:21:17,526
You didn't even get a chance
to test the blade.
383
00:21:18,861 --> 00:21:22,364
And then,
it starts to dawn on you.
384
00:21:22,907 --> 00:21:26,202
While it is
an absolutely insane idea
385
00:21:26,202 --> 00:21:30,498
that this man is not an actor
auditioning for acting school,
386
00:21:30,498 --> 00:21:34,126
that this entire evening has
been an elaborate ruse,
387
00:21:34,126 --> 00:21:38,47
that you are not in the company
of a hack Jeff Daniels,
388
00:21:38,47 --> 00:21:40,841
you're with one of
the greatest actors of all time.
389
00:21:41,926 --> 00:21:44,303
Oh, that's ridiculous.
That can't be true, right?
390
00:21:44,303 --> 00:21:46,138
So, you don't need to run away.
391
00:21:46,931 --> 00:21:51,310
But you do start to
slowly walk away, because...
392
00:21:52,61 --> 00:21:53,771
how can you be sure?
393
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:55,606
And then it hits you!
394
00:21:55,606 --> 00:21:58,567
Wait, the axe! Right!
395
00:21:59,401 --> 00:22:02,404
He slid the blade
across his hand.
396
00:22:02,822 --> 00:22:04,990
So, if there's blood
on his hand,
397
00:22:05,908 --> 00:22:07,326
that axe is real.
398
00:22:08,619 --> 00:22:10,913
If there's blood on his hands,
399
00:22:11,497 --> 00:22:14,83
this could be
really, really bad.
400
00:22:19,755 --> 00:22:21,882
It's the moment of truth, Mike.
401
00:22:29,849 --> 00:22:33,310
[Mike laughing]
402
00:22:33,310 --> 00:22:36,105
- [both laughing]
- MIKE: Oh, my God!
403
00:22:36,105 --> 00:22:39,66
That scared the shit out of me!
404
00:22:39,66 --> 00:22:40,776
That was convincing, man.
405
00:22:40,776 --> 00:22:43,28
Like, | admit it, like,
you didn't have it in
406
00:22:43,28 --> 00:22:45,281
- the takes before, but, like...
- | know. I know.
407
00:22:45,281 --> 00:22:46,866
MIKE: ...that was really good!
408
00:22:46,866 --> 00:22:49,952
You have an audition, man.
And we have a short film.
409
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,162
I mean,
this could get into Sundance.
410
00:22:52,162 --> 00:22:53,831
Yeah! High five!
411
00:22:53,831 --> 00:22:54,915
[both chuckle]
412
00:22:58,669 --> 00:23:01,88
- MIKE: No.
- Yes.
413
00:23:01,88 --> 00:23:02,298
[Mike exclaims]
414
00:23:02,298 --> 00:23:04,300
JEFF: Run, Mike, run! Yes!
415
00:23:04,300 --> 00:23:05,843
[Mike yelps]
416
00:23:05,843 --> 00:23:12,808
[both panting]
417
00:23:20,24 --> 00:23:26,530
[Mike breathing heavily]
418
00:23:27,990 --> 00:23:29,950
[Jeff snarls]
419
00:23:29,950 --> 00:23:31,160
MIKE: Cut! Cut!
420
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,537
- No, keep rolling!
- MIKE: | am rolling!
421
00:23:33,537 --> 00:23:35,331
- [Jeff shouting]
- Cut!
422
00:23:35,331 --> 00:23:36,707
[both grunting]
423
00:23:36,707 --> 00:23:38,00
JEFF: Where you going?
424
00:23:38,00 --> 00:23:39,335
Hey-- [grunts]
425
00:23:39,335 --> 00:23:44,673
[Jeff panting]
426
00:23:44,673 --> 00:23:48,10
Hey... where'd you go?
427
00:23:48,10 --> 00:23:54,224
[panting]
428
00:23:54,224 --> 00:23:55,517
What?
429
00:23:56,310 --> 00:23:57,519
That was really good.
430
00:23:58,312 --> 00:23:59,688
I'm impressed.
431
00:24:02,858 --> 00:24:03,943
Oh!
432
00:24:04,526 --> 00:24:06,28
[snickers]
433
00:24:06,28 --> 00:24:07,821
| see a footprint.
434
00:24:08,822 --> 00:24:11,492
Guess you're hiding
over here somewhere.
435
00:24:12,34 --> 00:24:14,328
Well, unless
you pulled a Shining,
436
00:24:14,828 --> 00:24:17,206
you retraced
your footsteps, maybe--
437
00:24:17,206 --> 00:24:19,208
Oh! Wait. I-- [laughs]
438
00:24:19,208 --> 00:24:21,293
Nope. Come out, Mike. | saw you.
439
00:24:21,293 --> 00:24:23,462
Hi. Hi!
440
00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:25,464
Oh, boy.
Oh, that's not very good.
441
00:24:25,464 --> 00:24:26,674
That's not good at all.
442
00:24:27,216 --> 00:24:30,511
Don't really see a way
out of it for this one.
443
00:24:30,511 --> 00:24:32,721
Might be the end of the movie,
my friend.
444
00:24:33,263 --> 00:24:37,59
Unless you got any i-- Wait,
is he getting an idea? What?
445
00:24:37,643 --> 00:24:41,230
What is this? Oh--
Oh! Right, the car.
446
00:24:41,730 --> 00:24:44,441
Yeah, race to the car. That's
kind of an interesting idea.
447
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:48,487
My thing is, | guess I'm
a little closer to the car
448
00:24:48,487 --> 00:24:50,739
than you are,
so | don't know if it-- Oh!
449
00:24:51,699 --> 00:24:53,951
Oh, there he goes!
There he goes!
450
00:24:55,244 --> 00:24:59,456
Oh, no. Oh, no!
[laughing] No, it's locked!
451
00:24:59,456 --> 00:25:01,250
Oh, you got it, Mike.
452
00:25:02,418 --> 00:25:04,586
- You got it. Fuck!
