Original subtitles

I will ruin you and have fun doing it. Oh, dream on. I think it's the other way

around. Now that you don't have that much further to fall, I know all of your

weaknesses, and I can push all of your buttons.

I can destroy you whenever I feel like it.

Not anymore.

Come on, face it, Tyler. You blew your one chance at fame and fortune, and you

try to blame it on Eddie. But you know the truth.

And what's that?

The truth is that you never had the talent or the drive.

At least I can drive.

Oh, don't.

You know what? What are you doing?

I'm calling a friend.

I think I'll call my good pal, Eddie.

No, you won't. You won't. No, maybe I'll tell him what a good driver you are,

especially in oncoming traffic.

Tyler, stop it!

Damn it, Chloe, I'm working.

What were you two talking about?

Nothing, really, just, um... Just tell her, Mel.

Early this morning, she and Adam snuck out and they went to Disneyland and she

feels horrible because she wasn't here.

That's where you were? And she didn't want to tell you because she knew that

it would start another fight. Exactly.

I told her it was fine, but that A, next time you better bring us some Mickey

Mouse ears, and B, do not run off again without telling us where you're going.

I called you several times, Melissa.

Why didn't you pick up? I'm sorry. Or return my calls. I know.

Like I said, my phone was off.

That's so irresponsible.

You leave town without telling anybody?

Yeah, I'm a terrible child.

Maybe I should take lessons from Phil. Hey.

I'm sorry. I am. I am sorry.

I promise it won't happen again.

It better not.

It won't.

Just glad that I'm here now and that Dad's going to be okay.

Would you do me a favor and check and see if Phil's back here? I think he's

very upset.

Sure.

Mother.

Seriously? With the attitude?

Let it go, Liz.

She should have been here. Why?

She didn't know this was gonna happen, and she's here now, and I feel fine,

and... We all just need to take a breath.

Take a breath? I can't even breathe at all.

This is a nightmare.

And it's not over for Phil. Which is why we need to stick together as a family

and not fall apart.

Okay?

Okay.

I hate hospitals.

They remind me of my dad and sick people.

Thank you for coming. I can really use the support.

You're welcome.

I'm serious, though. I almost didn't come. These places skeeve me out.

Hey, it's Phil.

Is your dad okay?

Yeah, he's okay. Yeah, yeah.

Thank you for coming. You didn't have to.

He lost a lot of blood, but they say he's going to be all right.

That's great.

How did that happen exactly?

Ran a mugging.

That's horrible. I am so sorry.

Mel, I'll be glad to see you.

Yeah, thank you so much for taking time out of your really busy schedule to come

see us. Miss, I'm too good for everyone else.

It's nice to see you too, Adriana.

Chloe, hello?

Are you there?

Eddie?

Yeah, what are you doing?

I'm sorry. I've just called you so many times and you haven't answered, so...

I was surprised when you actually did.

I picked up because I thought maybe you'd stop calling. Why are you

harassing me like this? I'm trying to get some work done. I'm sorry for

bugging you.

It's just you promised that you'd meet with Osborne, and he's leaving for

Europe today.

Sorry, I'm a little too busy for that right now.

Eddie, please.

I can set up an appointment with him today.

You promised that you would do this for me.

Please, I swear if you do it, I'll never ask you another favor again.

Eddie? Fine. Set up a time. I'll go.

Our Tyler's here for one day, and he leaves half his wardrobe.

Hi, Jackie.

Hi, Lily.

Chloe's not home at the moment. Oh, just tell her I stopped by, okay?

You're welcome to wait if you'd like to. She should be back soon.

Thanks. I'll just give her a call later.

Wait.

Would you like to stay?

I'd really like to talk to you for a minute.

Sure.

Come on in.

So, you're Chloe's friend, right? Like, really friend.

Yeah, we've been close for a while now.

Okay.

So, if you really care about her, I'd really like it if you'd help me convince

her to get the hell out of L.A.

Making personal calls on company time?

Oops.

You caught me slacking off at work.

I was just texting Lauren back.

I'm going to confiscate your phone.

Oh, hey, I do have some good news about what we talked about earlier.

Yeah, I filled out an online loan application this morning, and I should

know soon if I get approved. Oh, that's fantastic. Yeah, and I have really good

credit, so I was hoping.

Oh, Nora, having you here, giving you more responsibility is going to be great

for everybody.

I hope so.

I mean, I already have been tinkering with some ideas about how to make the

office run more efficiently and hopefully lower overhead.

Excellent. I'm delighted this is moving forward.

So what, Nora's getting a promotion?

I mean, she's already office manager. What, are you making her a doctor now? I

mean, if that's the case, sign me up. Beat's going to med school.

You're reading way too much into this, Ellie. Am I?

Is that what the loan's for? It's really nothing.

Okay.

I actually just came down here to give you a message Max Duran called for you

when you were in the back.

He asked you to call back ASAP.

Hey, didn't Max and Katie have a song called ASAP?

Oh, the irony.

So, tell me Lauren, how long do you think you and Eddie will be together?

Do you think he'll forget you before or after your 15 minutes of fame are up?

Cool it, Aide, please.

Now is not the time.

I'm just glad that your dad's okay.

Is Melissa here?

You know, for someone that's supposed to be famous, he's still dressed like

someone who's probably colorblind.

I like your shoes, Adriana.

You are sick.

Let it go, Aide, please.

I haven't seen Melody. My parents were hoping you'd know who she was. Have you

seen her?

I'm here.

Where else would I be?

Mel, I'm so sorry.

Thank you for coming. Of course.

Phil said that your dad's going to be okay, though. Yeah, just kind of scary,

you know?

I've never seen him in a hospital.

I guess I always thought he was invincible.

He is.

Mom said she wanted to talk to you.

Thanks. Yeah.

believe this happened.

It just doesn't make sense.

I know. Your brother said it was some random mugging.

I don't buy that. Do you?

Why not?

I mean, come on. Think about it.

It's not just a coincidence that Phil's in trouble with these low lives and then

someone knifes my dad.

I see your point.

It would explain why your brother's so shaken up about it. Yeah.

Obviously he feels guilty.

Oh, I don't know what I would have done.

No, no.

I know. It's going to be okay.

It's gonna be just fine.

So,

are

you ready to tell me what really happened?

I was mugged.

That's what really happened.

I don't believe you.

We've been together too long for you to lie to me, Gus.

Lise, you're reading too much into this. I know you're covering for Phil.

Whatever happened has to be connected to Phil and who he's been hanging out with

recently. I'm certain of it.

This all connects back to Colorado, doesn't it?

Dad?

Are you feeling any better?

I'm just so relieved he's going to be okay.

I could never forgive myself if something happened to my dad and I

wasn't here.

He's going to be fine, okay? And you're here now.

By the way, where were you?

I went to Palm Springs to meet Mae and Beth.

Are you serious?

Perfect time to sneak out for a road trip, right? But I had to meet her.

Wow.

Right? Did she know you were coming?

Nope.

Took a lot of guts showing up unannounced.

I mean, Adam came with me.

I couldn't have done it without him. He's been so great throughout all this.

Well, did she give you any information about why your mom acts the way she does

towards you? Nope. Nothing. If anything, I have so many more questions than I did

before.

So does that mean you want to see her again?

I don't know.

I think I'd like to get to know her. I mean, she's odd, but she's also kind of

cool, too. She's, like, artsy and just, you know, interesting and independent.

I connected with her, I think.

Well, that makes sense. She's your aunt.

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if I'm going to see her again.

Beth didn't think it was a very good idea, just out of respect for Lisa.

Yeah, she'd probably freak out if she went to Palm Springs to see her sister.

I know. Yeah. Yeah. And I almost got caught because I had to tell my dad

where I was so he knew why I didn't get to the hospital sooner. I just got that.

What?

You were saying the thing about having a lot of guts to show up and announce. You

were just talking about me. You were talking about you, too, weren't you?

You're so sly, Martina. I loved it.

So?

How was your beach trip?

Oh, I have so much to tell you.

No, not like that.

Not like that?

So then was it like this?

No, it wasn't like this. So was it like whoop, whoop?

No, no, no. No? What is that? What does that mean? You would know it if you saw

it. Trust me. No, you're just making random noises.

Maybe.

Look at me, Lo. I'm here at the hospital where it's sick about my dad, and you're

supposed to be cheering me up.

So I want details, and I want them now.

Feel free to speak slow and skip to the good stuff.

Hey, we are an overdrive partner.

Meaning? Concert is a go.

We've officially locked in the MK Club for the end of the week.

I knew pop would come through.

Yeah, and I'm dealing with the PR, so right now I'm doing a VIP list. If

there's anyone that you want on that, I'll make sure they get all the way to

the front.

Okay, I will have to think about that.

And as far as Lauren goes, this is the perfect time to introduce her to the

press with her new look and her new attitude.

Mm-hmm. New attitude.

I really liked Lauren's attitude, and her look was just fine, Kelly. I'm not

disagreeing with you. We're just building on it. That's all.

You know, Kelly, give Eddie the list to look over. I'm more concerned about the

people Eddie doesn't want at the club than somebody we may have forgotten.

And before you say anything, don't worry. Tyler Rourke will not be allowed

within a mile of your dad's club that night.

Why are you breaking that up? That's fine. I'm only playing a few songs. I

don't want a huge crowd.

That's the whole plan, Eduardo.

This will be an intimate evening.

Ooh, I like that. Why don't you put that on the flyer? An intimate evening with

Eddie Duran.

All right, consider it done.

You are ready for this, right?

What are you talking about?

Well, I just mean anything you perform, no matter how intimate, will be judged

and online within minutes. There's no taking it back.

I don't want to take it back.

I'm really proud of my work. I think it's the best I've ever done.

Well, I can't wait to hear it.

I know that look.

What look?

The look that means you don't like the songs.

I never said I didn't like your songs. All I said was it was a departure for

you. Yeah, and it's a good one, okay? And my fans will appreciate it and

they'll like it. Yes, I hope so.

I mean it.

All right, well, let me worry about the music because obviously that's the only

thing I can control.

I'm sorry if I took things a little too far with the phone call earlier.

No, you're not.

You're right. I'm not. I was just trying to prove a point.

And I used it to my advantage.

You're not going to apologize back after everything you said?

Why would I? Everything I said was the truth.

You ruined your career with your vendetta and jealousy.

I have nothing to be jealous of.

Oh, because Eddie's just a flash in the pan.

Eddie's never going to act again, and I can guarantee that, because I'm going to

ruin his chances with Silver and yours.

He ruined my life once, and I'm not going to let him do it again.

You just... Can't get over it, can you?

Go ahead and try. You are up against the biggest rock star in me. You don't stand

a chance. You have no idea what I'm capable of.

Eddie and I will crush you.

I'd love to see you try.

Because don't forget, I hold the ultimate ace.

You'd never turn me in.

Just make sure you have a good lawyer on retainer. Come on, Tyler. You dangle

that in front of me every single time you get upset. You'll never actually do

it. What makes you so confident?

Because then you'd lose me.

You're having more fun now than you ever have. Especially now that we hate each

other.

I could never truly hate you.

My point exactly.

But that doesn't mean I wouldn't destroy you.

This city's a cancer for her. The longer she stays here, the more it grows.

I think she fits in quite nicely here.

On the surface, maybe.

But it's killing her.

She's an emotional wreck, and it's starting to affect every aspect of her

life. How so?

She can't sleep. She doesn't eat.

But that sounds like pretty normal behavior for a model.

She's barely modeling anymore.

She's just so obsessed with being famous and winning Eddie back.

Okay, again, that sounds like fairly normal behavior for Los Angeles.

Well, I don't like it.

I know my daughter, and I know this is destroying her.

And with all those secrets buried so deep, I'm surprised she hasn't just

snapped. Okay, I think you're worrying just a little too much about her, okay?

Chloe's little secret about being from Fresno isn't that big a deal.

In fact, her hiding her identity makes her seem kind of, I don't know, Marilyn

Monroe-esque.

And how did that story end?

Chloe's secrets are nothing to be concerned about, okay?

If you only knew.

Wait.

What don't I know?

What is Chloe hiding?

Nothing. I meant everything that she's already been through.

No, you didn't.

There's something else in Chloe's past, and I'm going to find out sooner or

later. So you might as well tell me. I love to dig.

I think maybe it's time for you to go.

What happened to knocking?

We need to talk.

What do you want now?

It's time for my next payment.

Or what?

Or I will ruin you.

I'll have another payment for you within a week.

That'll work. And then we're done.

Do you understand?

You know, maybe we are, and maybe we're not.

It depends on how I feel.

Have a great day, Dr. Masters.

So then we started getting into this little food fight.

And it led to a kiss and another kiss.

And he put his arms around me.

Why are your eyes closed? Am I going to close the whole time? It helps me

visualize everything. Just don't ruin this for me. Please continue with your

story. Thank you very much.

Where was I?

The nine and a half weeks part.

What is that?

It's a horrible, just horrifyingly disgusting, wonderful movie from the 80s

with Mickey Rourke. Your mom's seen it, I'm sure. Please continue.

Okay.

So he wipes the honey off my face, and then he kissed me.

And was he wearing a shirt?

Yeah. Okay. In my version, he's not.

So it got really intense, and... Wait, I'm sorry. He didn't close the deal?

Because in my version, he's a closer.

Oh, just got in our rating.

Okay, no.

No, I mean, it was really romantic.

How did you say no?

Why did you say no?

I don't know. Everything was going so fast, and I didn't want to be the

rebound girl.

You know, I mean, it just didn't feel like the timing was right.

So if the timing wasn't right then, when will it be right?

Maybe tonight.

Maybe tomorrow, maybe weeks, months, a year from now. I don't know. We have

time. I'm not blaming you. I completely understand.

And it sounds like you had a pretty perfect night anyways.

Okay, can you please tell it to me again from the shop? Talk slower this time.

Oh, um, hold on.

Oh, I know, I know. Oh,

it's Kelly.

Hey,

Kelly.

What's up?

Hey, superstar.

Change of plans. Can you swing by Max's club today instead of the office?

Uh, sure.

Why? The stylist has some wardrobe choices that she wants to see you in at

the club.

Stylist?

This is the big league, Lauren. It's not just about wardrobe. We need to talk

about a whole new look.

I'm not sure I want a whole new look.

No, relax.

It's not going to be something that you're not comfortable in.

She's just going to build off your current look and then just go from

there. What's that?

They want to give me a makeover.

I just want to find something that's going to make you stand out. This

concert is like, this is like your coming out event.

How soon can you get to the club?

I'm on my way.

Sorry, I have to go.

No, it's okay. I'm just so sad I can't be there to help you pick something out.

I know.

Someday. But today, you need to really focus on your dad, okay? You're right.

Yeah. Okay, well, don't let Kelly or that stylist I didn't approve of put you

in anything foolish.

I won't. I really wish you could come with me.

I'm going to ask my mom to come for support. Oh, thank God. She has so much

better taste than you.

Oh, thank you.

I love you. I love you. Let me know.

Let's gather you're feeling better, Mr. Sanders.

Thank you, Adriana.

I appreciate you coming, but I would really like to spend some time alone

with my son right now.

Hey, Dad, you know anything you want to say? It's not what I want to say to you,

son. It's what I want to hear from you, the truth.

And I don't feel like we always get that when you're around.

What? You know, she had nothing to do with this. She hasn't done anything

wrong. Do you really want to have this conversation right now? I'm just saying,

you know, she doesn't deserve to be treated like that.

Adriana, why don't we grab some coffee?

Maybe have some yummy hospital food.

Sounds great.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Just look at the bright side, huh?

You saved my life.

It never should have happened. I'm sorry.

You gonna listen to me now?

Huh?

I mean, I'm lying here in the hospital bed.

It doesn't get much worse than this.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Tell me the truth. I am. I don't know who stabbed you. I don't know what they

wanted. It doesn't make sense to lie anymore, son, you know?

I saw the man. I recognized the guy who stabbed me, that thug, and he's from

Colorado Shop. Do you understand what that means?

You turned me into the police. I was trying to help you.

By sending Detective Conley after me? Yeah, and I would do it again if I

thought it would get you out of this mess. How is that going to help me?

You just made the mess worse.

You don't think Colorado knew I was driving around in a cop car? You forced

his hand. Good.

Because now, you know, everything is out in the open, okay?

They know about Colorado. They know about it all. We can get you out of

this.

You don't.

Know what you're talking about. No, I got 43 stitches in me that says I do.

All right, another half inch to the left, and you're looking at me in a

casket instead of a hospital bed, son.

Who gets stabbed next, huh?

Your mom?

Your sister?

Adriana?

The way that you have been doing things, son, is not working.

And I want to help you, but you have got to talk to me.

It's bad, Dad. It's really bad.

I don't know how to get out of this one.

So, did the doctors tell you how long Mr. Sanders' recovery will take?

He'll be fine.

I'm much more concerned about your and Phil's antics at the moment than I am

about my husband's health.

Yeah, no, we're fine.

Except for we're really worried about your husband.

It's more than that.

Even if I didn't know you, I can tell how stressed out you are.

There's something going on.

This wasn't just a random mugging.

This had to be someone connected to Phil's new career in crime.

Okay, I have no idea what you're talking about. And if Phil is doing something

illegal, this is the first I've heard of it.

Adriana, knock it off.

Okay, with the amount of time you two spend together, you have to be involved

too. Wait, so I'm guilty by association even though you have no proof?

Yes.

Your little innocent act may work on your father, but I see right through it.

In fact, I could argue that you're more to blame.

Since you probably pressure Phil to buy you things that he can't afford.

Okay, that's not true.

I know he buys you expensive things.

Well, maybe if you and Gus weren't so stingy, he wouldn't have to. Wouldn't

have to what?

Go ahead, just say it.

So, these are my choices.

Any one of these will make you look stunning. Help bring out the new you.

The one that's deep inside of you.

Yeah, well, if I wear it...

Any of those, they're going to see real deep inside of me.

Okay, I will go with this one.

Really? Yeah.

I only picked that one so the other two would stand out more.

You told me to go with my gut. And I meant it. I want you to wear whatever

you feel comfortable in, okay?

Okay, well, I don't know if I feel comfortable in any of them, but I feel

the least uncomfortable in this one.

Okay. I'll go try it on.

Hey. Hi.

Laura. Hey, Max. How you doing?

Good, good, good. Good to see you. You too.

Well, Laura's going to be very happy to see you. You have something wrong?

No. I just think she's going to need a little help in the wardrobe department.

Oh. Where?

Ah. Hmm.

Okay.

Nick, it's done.

I'm moving some money around. Might be able to pay off this loan ahead of

schedule.

I'll let you know very soon.

Masters Davis and Caldwell Orthopedics. How can I help you?

Hello, I'm calling to verify the employment of Nora Tate.

And what's this verification for?

I'm calling from a bank regarding her loan application.

And can I ask what the loan is for? I apologize. I can't disclose that

information. I would really appreciate it if you could verify Nora Tate's

employment there.

I'm sorry. You're going to have to call back. I'm on the other line with a

patient. Thanks so much.

Hey, Connie. He available?

Tyler. How do you keep getting on the lot? I'm friends with the Eastgate

guard. I get him into exclusive clubs, and he gets me in to see you.

This is the worst possible time, Tyler. From now on, call and make an

appointment. Why bother?

I know he'll want to see me.

What?

Hello, Oz.

You again.

I'm beginning to think that you're not just crazy, but you're dangerous crazy.

Does that make me more interesting or less?

Probably more. Go figure.

You said I gave you a lot to think about.

What'd you come up with?

All right, how's this?

Fade in on a successful movie producer's office.

Enter two burly security guards with nightsticks. They drag out a struggling

actor and throw him into the street. He's left there alone, possibly doomed.

Fade out.

Lame. That's not even a full story.

My pitch or your life?

Oh, come on, man.

I should be furious that you used me to reel Eddie in.

But I'm willing to forgive for the right role.

What a sport.

Okay, I got a deal.

Why don't you tell me what this painting means to you, and if I like what you

say, I'll give you a roll.

It's late at night.

Everything's blurry, so maybe I'm supposed to feel drunk.

It's kind of like backstage at a theater in a dressing room.

It's a club.

I like the whiskey.

It's like looking at the exit door and wanting to get out.

Wow. I'm impressed.

It's called Me and Eddie, 1995.

I was backstage at the Whiskey.

Eddie Vedder was there.

He's 21 years old, just sitting there thinking, I want to move and not being

able to.

So I got it right.

Dead on.

Thank you, my friend.

Thank me with a roll.

Okay? I will.

All right, that sounds good.

Talk to you soon.

All right, brother, I gotta be heading out.

No, you don't. I know your schedule better than you do. You are clear the

rest of the day.

Yeah, I'm gonna take a last-minute meeting with Osborne Silver about that

Grease remake, which I bet thrills you to no end.

I mean, I am thrilled. I just thought you weren't doing it.

So did I.

But Osborne's a very determined man. He won't take no for an answer, so I

thought I'd hear him out one more time. Who knows? It might be fun.

Yo, be straight with me, man, all right? Seriously.

Be real. What's going on? And please tell me it has nothing to do with Chloe.

Eddie, no. She deserves nothing from you, man. Don't let her play you like

this. She's not playing me, okay? And the truth is, I'm doing this because she

doesn't deserve anything from me.

You know, I might be doing this movie, so she'll leave me alone.

Once and for all.

No, this is Chloe we're talking about. It's purely a business arrangement.

Chloe is a master of fooling people, all right? She's like a tornado. Everywhere

she goes, she wreaks havoc. I know, all right?

She can't hurt me anymore, Jake.

There's nothing left.

There's something in the air, air, air.

Yeah, we're gonna have a good time.

There's something in the air, air, air.

Yeah, we're gonna have a good time. Whoa,

whoa.

And the Grammy and the Oscar goes to Miss Chloe Carter.

I mean, Mrs. Chloe Duran.

I'm going home.

Have a good evening.

Just finishing up some paperwork that Nora left for me. She told me she had to

help Lauren with something.

Really? She told me that she had to go meet Max Duran at the club.

Oh, he is so good-looking. Beautiful eyes.

I hadn't noticed.

You know, he won this poll in this magazine when I was a teen.

Oh, his eyes won by a long shot.

Remember to set the alarm before you close up.

Someone's jealous?

Good night.

Oh, it will be.

I love the length of the extensions.

It's amazing.

And the skin color, it's perfect for the spray tint. I think you should go with

this one, right?

Okay. Are you sure it looks okay? Lauren, don't worry. Betsy knows what

she's doing.

And you look amazing in that outfit.

Yeah, it's starting to grow on me.

Speak now or forever hold your peace.

No, this is Lauren's thing. She made me promise that I would not interfere.

I wonder how long you're going to keep that promise.

I'm going to keep it. Yeah, okay.

I just have to pretend that that girl is not my daughter.

Thank you. Hi, Eddie.

Hey, Lauren. How's your fitting going?

It's going good. I could use an extra set of eyes.

though, if you're not too busy.

Yeah, I'm on my way to a meeting, but I can maybe stop by afterwards if that's

cool. Oh, okay. Great.

And remember, don't do anything you're not comfortable with.

Stay true to yourself and your style.

It's what I love about you and what other people will do.

Don't worry. I won't let them do too much.

Okay. How do you feel about six-inch heels?

Ah! Eddie, I have to go. I still have photos to shoot.

All right.

Well, I can't wait to see your new look.

Can't wait to see you.

I don't know how it came to this, Dad.

I mean,

it just started off as a fun way to make some extra cash.

Fun way to make some... I mean, Adriana.

No, no.

Can we please just leave her out of this? All right, if you're gonna be mad

at anybody, it's gotta be me. No, I am mad at you. I'm furious at you, son.

How could you be so stupid? I mean, did you not realize that someone like

Colorado is dangerous?

I know, I know.

Look, if I could take it back, I would, I swear. I just... I don't want Colorado

near any of us. But I don't know what to do.

I'm trapped here.

What do I do? You go to the police.

I can't.

Do that, Dad. They're going to throw me in jail. No, they are not, all right?

We're going to get you a lawyer, and you're going to work with them, and

they're going to cut you a deal. You got me?

But you need to do this now.

Is there any other way? No.

No.

You go in there, and you turn Colorado in.

That's it.

The further down the pile you go, the less important the script. Even I know

that. Yeah, well, I don't stack by importance. I stack alphabetically.

Okay? I'm organized, so shoot me.

And, yes, I do organize my ties by gradient color, in case you were

wondering. Yeah, that was the next question out of my mouth. So what's the

name of this opus that you're offering me?

Zoloft and the Ginger Man.

Zoloft, the Z, wouldn't that be at the bottom?

I have 17 scripts that start with Z, including the 1969 classic, See.

Zoloft and the Ginger Man, that sounds indie, which is synonymous with no

money.

Please. Do I look indie to you?

FYI, Gosling was interested in this thing, and then two years ago he went

and did that Clooney thing and it all fell apart.

So I've just been sitting on this baby, waiting for the right actor for the job.

Me?

You.

Read it and tell me what you think.

What's it about?

Zoloft and the Ginger Man.

Uh, I don't even... Which one am I?

Read it, Groucho, and you'll figure it out.

I don't know what to say.

Actors rarely do.

So now can I go back to the business of being me, and you can go back to doing

whatever it is you do and not interrupting that?

Yeah. I promise you won't regret this.

I hope not.

Hey, Eddie.

Nice to see you.

Is he ready for me yet?

Um, no, he's just finishing up another meeting right now, but, um...

You know, why don't I show you our new screening room? We'll go back there and

wait. Maybe next time, Connor. I'll just wait here until he's ready.

Hey,

what's up, Eduardo?

Oz and I were just talking about you.

What a coincidence.

Don't even think about judging me and my husband.

Phil has everything he needs. We are raising him to be responsible.

Yeah, he's responsible, but not because of you.

Hey, Mom, Dad's asking for you.

Oh, okay.

We'll continue this discussion later.

Now that we know your dad's okay, can we please go?

How are you feeling?

Not good.

Like, I just want to be home in bed.

We can go, but not home.

Well, I'm not going out. Okay, how can you even think about having fun when you

know your dad's stuck here? I'm not.

I need you to go get the new clothes for the clinic.

Okay, no, that's not happening.

Adriana, we have to.

Okay? Look what happened to my dad.

Okay? We're next. I'm not saying that to scare you. It's the truth.

Unless we get those pills.

Okay, Phil, it's too hard. We're gonna get caught. No.

We won't.

Look, do this.

This one last time, and we are out.

For good. I promise you.

Thank you so much for covering for me with Mom earlier, Dad.

I'm so glad you're going to be okay.

I only bought you a little bit of time with your mom. You know that.

Yeah. Eventually, you're going to have to tell her that you went to see Beth. I

know.

What was she like?

She's a lot different than I thought.

She's so different from mom.

Like, kind of bohemian.

A little out of touch.

Well, that's what years of drug abuse will do to you.

Yeah.

Is she clean?

I don't know. I'm not really sure how to tell.

I mean, she seems to be, you know, doing okay.

A little bit fragile, but okay.

I think I liked her.

What did you like about her?

She's artistic.

She's a photographer, so she's got all these really cool pictures in her house.

They were awesome.

She really seems like a family member I could have connected with had I been

given the chance.

I think you're right.

I think that you two would have got along if things had been different.

Sounded so dire, Dad.

Things had been different.

Like there's some alternate universe or I would have hung out with Beth.

Maybe there is.

Oh, maybe in that universe I would not have gotten stabbed.

Dad, you got hurt because of Phil, didn't you?

Oh, hey, Adriana. Your father already left for the day.

Uh, yeah, no, I know. That's why I'm here. He asked me to pick up a file he

needs. Oh.

Oh, is that the, uh, new alarm system?

It's pretty fancy.

I wouldn't say it's fancy.

New alarm, new code.

Uh, what is it?

What's the code?

I can't tell you that.

Uh, why not? I mean, I'm the boss's daughter, for goodness sakes.

Then ask your father if you want it so badly.

I'm not going to get in the middle.

I'm sorry. I was just curious.

The old code used to be my birthday, so I thought that was always pretty sweet

of my dad.

Oh, really?

1694.

Yep.

That's me.

I was just curious if the new code was something like that.

But it doesn't matter.

But, yeah, if you could get that file for me. He said he needs it for

tomorrow's surgery.

Which surgery is it?

Um... The hip replacement.

Okay, he's got that one in the morning. I'll make sure I track it down for you,

okay?

I hate it, don't you?

What are you doing here, Tyler?

I was just talking some biz with Oz.

I bet that's why you're here, too.

Stop waffling and just say you'll do the movie already. I mean, what's the worst

that could happen?

Why don't you worry a little less about my career and a little more about your

own? That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm hot again.

New script, new agent, possible new deal. I got a whole new outlook.

Okay. Well, let's see how long that lasts.

What's the matter, Eddie?

Have to be the only superstar in the room?

Well, at the moment, I am.

Guys, guys, come on.

There's enough room for three superstars in my office.

Enough cake to go around. So let's leave egos at the door, come on in.

Let's make some movies.

Sounds good to me. Am I cool with you, Eddie?

Or are you afraid you might fail?

Failure is your department.

Good luck with your new outlook.

Eddie, it's good to see you again.

I'm glad we could finally get you back here.

Let's talk grease.

Tyler?

Hey, babe, are you here to see me or him?
