1
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,720
I sense danger here.

2
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:29,359
Well, I do hope this is what everyone is

3
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,920
looking for. I mean, in this next scene,

4
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:33,760
I see Datana is very uptown, being

5
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,960
married to a rich and famous doctor and

6
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:39,600
all. Maybe I should wear more jewelry.

7
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,879
Diamonds would pale by comparison, Miss

8
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,120
Blue.

9
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:46,360
Well, thank you very much, and Donald,

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,360
very welcome.

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,520
People, would you mind moving things

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,920
along a little faster? I've got 10 pages

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,920
to shoot today.

14
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,280
Oh, no. Don't tell me this is all the

15
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:04,440
dolly track we have. How am I supposed

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,440
to direct my vision without dolly track?

17
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:15,360
There it is, Tony. Another Mickey

18
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,159
Paradise production is almost in the

19
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:20,400
can. Few more days, it'll be a wrap.

20
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:22,000
It's nice, Mickey.

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,320
Breaks my heart. We already cast the

22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,080
lead babe.

23
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:28,240
You're the producer.

24
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,479
You can find something for me to do,

25
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,479
can't you?

26
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:35,680
I don't mind telling you, Jennifer.

27
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:37,759
You're doing a simply marvelous job

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,400
portraying my late dear wife.

29
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:43,280
Why, thank you, and Tom, but I'm hoping

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:46,320
that my stirring performance will launch

31
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:49,600
me into another genre film. I'm tired of

32
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:51,920
the sex scenes and dumb sci-fi flicks.

33
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,840
Even those roles have a certain gene

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,840
with your acting skills. It's obvious to

35
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,759
me that gratuitous

36
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,079
romance

37
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:01,600
is a specialtity of yours.

38
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:04,000
Specialtity.

39
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,000
So is being slashed by maniacs with

40
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,880
chainsaws. But I don't exactly see Merl

41
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,880
Street doing that either.

42
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:12,319
It

43
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:14,080
certainly is a thrill watching a real

44
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:15,520
movie being made. Mr. Stein,

45
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,840
you see that script? They expect

46
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,920
Spielberg on a joke budget.

47
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,520
I was a little disappointed to learn my

48
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:24,400
character was dropped due to lack of

49
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,720
money. I mean, considering the vital

50
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,480
role I play in Dr. Arcane's work.

51
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,120
No, absolutely. I mean, I really fought

52
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:36,120
hard for you.

53
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,120
Excuse me, but uh who are you?

54
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,680
Anon, my friend. I got to talk at you

55
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,360
for a sec. You've got a man for a

56
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,080
troubled producer. This will just take a

57
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,599
second.

58
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,040
You don't have to tell me. It's toddy

59
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:53,200
being testy again. Is it

60
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,920
like a book you read me? Except he's not

61
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:58,160
acting this time. You won't say your

62
00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:58,720
dialogue. He says it's cliche written

63
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,040
garbage.

64
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,680
I gave the writers that g those lines

65
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,440
myself.

66
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,800
No. And it's pure poetry. Believe me, it

67
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,560
breaks my heart he's pulling this. But

68
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,080
anyway, I was thinking, you know, you

69
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,280
being the character himself, you know,

70
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,680
you might be able to give him some of

71
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,599
the old buddy buddy sympatico talk.

72
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,000
I'd like to strangle him.

73
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:17,280
Knock yourself out. I I' I'd wait a

74
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,239
little while though. He's in your motor

75
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,159
home trying on wigs.

76
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:26,840
He said it was nicer than his. He wanted

77
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:26,840
it. He did, did he?

78
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,080
Does that smell?

79
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,080
Smells like gas.

80
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:32,639
The swamp is my world. It is who I am.

81
00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:35,680
It is what I am. I was once a man. I

82
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:41,120
know the evil men do.

83
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:44,320
Do not bring your evil here. I warn you,

84
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:47,360
beware the wrath of

85
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,800
Swamp Thing.

86
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,600
How well did you know Todd Michael is

87
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,000
Dr. Arcane?

88
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,600
Not well. We had some contact, of

89
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,440
course, since he was portraying me in

90
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,840
this TV movie.

91
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,680
A movie glorifying your career.

92
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:02,720
Of course. Could there be any other

93
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,120
kind? Besides, I was guaranteed certain

94
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,800
uh

95
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,199
Todd Michaels wasn't doing a good acting

96
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,280
job in your opinion, was he?

97
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:11,039
I'm afraid I don't follow you.

98
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:12,639
Oh, nothing. Just looking for reasons

99
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:13,759
why anyone would want Todd Michaels

100
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:15,280
dead.

101
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:15,840
I'm sure I wouldn't know. I hardly knew

102
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:16,960
the man.

103
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:19,199
But you knew him long enough to hate

104
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,560
him. Am I correct?

105
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:26,840
Well, yes. I suppose there wasn't very

106
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,840
much to like about the man.

107
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:38,080
Uh yeah, it looks great. But uh I'm

108
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:39,600
still not sure I get it. It's a uh it's

109
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,080
a Prometheus. What?

110
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:44,800
Lo, listen to this crap. I I will not

111
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:47,120
give up. I will not I cannot let a minor

112
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,440
setback discourage humanity needs me.

113
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,160
I'm not saying this crap. Snip it, babe.

114
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,520
Snip it.

115
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,960
Cut the scene. I I don't know how Mr.

116
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,400
Paradise would feel about that, Dy.

117
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,240
And you think chicks want to see me in

118
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,520
this doofus lab coat? Let's show some

119
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,919
pecs, babe.

120
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:02,479
That's it. It's the wardrobe. Cut the

121
00:05:59,919 --> 00:06:02,800
coat. Let's see a little bare arm.

122
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:04,560
Yeah.

123
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,199
Huh? Maybe. Maybe a little washboard

124
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,199
stomach. Huh? How about it? Does Does

125
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:12,000
that make the lines work for you?

126
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:12,960
Yeah. Yeah. You know, you're right. I I

127
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,479
think it was the clothes that was

128
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,720
racking me up.

129
00:06:14,479 --> 00:06:21,280
Yeah. Come on. Let's do it.

130
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:23,600
Must not must not give up.

131
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:25,360
This is incredible. I can't believe how

132
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,240
they recreated your lab in this

133
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,919
warehouse.

134
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,440
No, your observational powers are

135
00:06:27,919 --> 00:06:32,319
incredible, Graeme. This is a cheap

136
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:37,160
imitation of my lab, just like that man.

137
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:37,160
There is no way I'm wearing that wig.

138
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:45,360
I will not give up.

139
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:47,440
I will not. Cannot let a minor setback

140
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,600
discourage me.

141
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:52,240
Wait a minute. Where'd that accent come

142
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:55,360
from? Uh, that's an authentic German

143
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:58,960
accent. Hottie's worked very hard on it.

144
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,560
I don't have an authentic German accent

145
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,440
because I'm not a bloody German. And

146
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,120
where's his hair?

147
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,440
It's a better interpretation of the

148
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,880
character. I am the character. Look,

149
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,280
I'll be in my trailer until somebody

150
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:15,080
removes this goofball from the set.

151
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:15,080
Goofball. Just a minute. You You actor.

152
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,720
Sure,

153
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:25,360
Todd. It was wild, but I never met a man

154
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,759
that I couldn't handle.

155
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,199
I don't believe I got your name,

156
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:31,440
Lieutenant.

157
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:33,039
Back to Todd Michaels. So, you liked

158
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:36,880
him?

159
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:37,680
We had a thing because you already knew

160
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,280
that.

161
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,639
Did you have a reason to believe he had

162
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:45,440
other things going on?

163
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:47,039
You're extremely handsome, Lieutenant.

164
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,039
Do you know that? You didn't answer my

165
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:51,680
question. Love triangles lead to crimes

166
00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:54,560
of passion. Was that happening here?

167
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:57,120
Well, it didn't. What Ty and I had was

168
00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:02,840
pure and beautiful. There was never

169
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,840
anyone else. Not for either of us.

170
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,080
I'll just bet you're a real pistol,

171
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,520
Anton.

172
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,280
Well, that's very nice of you, Jennifer.

173
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:12,160
But the word pistol suggests a rather

174
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:14,879
limited capability. Think of me more as

175
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,280
uh artillery.

176
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:18,879
We just broke for dinner.

177
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,039
Here to join me.

178
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:22,960
I think I can do better than that. Would

179
00:08:21,039 --> 00:08:24,960
you like to replace this horrid catering

180
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,759
food with some music, wine, and candle

181
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,319
light?

182
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:28,639
You like that?

183
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:30,319
Yeah. Look over my dead body, pal.

184
00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:32,159
No, more like over the dinner table,

185
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:33,680
Todd. And what are you doing out of your

186
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:35,039
cave?

187
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:36,479
Look, we've got to rehearse, Jennifer.

188
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:40,120
We've got that big love scene, and I'm

189
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:40,120
not ready for it.

190
00:08:40,479 --> 00:08:43,839
It's not worth it, babe. protecting your

191
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:46,399
investment paradise.

192
00:08:43,839 --> 00:08:48,959
Pretty much. Toddy walks. This whole

193
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:50,560
show goes to a standstill.

194
00:08:48,959 --> 00:08:52,080
Can't let him get too upset. Oh,

195
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:53,519
I wasn't thinking of upsetting him. More

196
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,200
like maming him or worse.

197
00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:57,040
Hey, it's fine. You want to kill him? I

198
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,680
got options. And Charlie,

199
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,880
it's it's a joke, huh? He's going to be

200
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:02,080
much better now that I fired the

201
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,200
writers. I'm taking over the rewrite

202
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,000
chores myself.

203
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,480
I wasn't aware of your creative ability.

204
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,000
How tough can writing be? Huh?

205
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,240
We've received the final reports from

206
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,560
the medical examiner. Todd Michaels was

207
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,279
not only gassed, he was strangled,

208
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:19,920
poisoned, stabbed, shot, and mutilated

209
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:21,120
as well. What do you know about it?

210
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,440
Nothing.

211
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,959
Work for Anton Arcane, isn't that right?

212
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,399
I'm devoted to him.

213
00:09:24,959 --> 00:09:27,279
Devoted enough to do whatever he tells

214
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:29,200
you to do.

215
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:30,880
Within limits, of course.

216
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,800
It's clear that Arcane and Mr. Michaels

217
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,000
didn't like each other. He had motive

218
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,160
and opportunity.

219
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,920
You're wrong about him, Lieutenant. Dr.

220
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,399
Arcane is much greater than the stupid

221
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,839
movies portraying him. His modesty

222
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:44,160
prevents him from telling just how great

223
00:09:41,839 --> 00:09:46,640
he really is. Sure, he was angry at that

224
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,000
incipit twid actor. Dr. Arcane doesn't

225
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,560
put up with that kind of insulting

226
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,560
behavior from anyone.

227
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,800
Arcane, these script revisions are

228
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,959
terrific. We're going to have to reshoot

229
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,839
one scene, but it'll elevate the entire

230
00:10:08,959 --> 00:10:13,640
movie.

231
00:10:09,839 --> 00:10:13,640
Let me see those pages.

232
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,120
Bloody hell.

233
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:24,079
You must be joking. Me in competition

234
00:10:22,079 --> 00:10:24,560
with another scientist blowing up his

235
00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:28,720
lab.

236
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:30,800
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Babe, calm down.

237
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,240
I I really like this stuff. Got my

238
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,440
accountants working overtime to figure

239
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,959
out how much it's going to cost me to

240
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,959
shoot it.

241
00:10:34,959 --> 00:10:39,920
By the way, have you uh met my wife,

242
00:10:36,959 --> 00:10:41,279
Julie? Just got into town from LA.

243
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,880
This is your wife.

244
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:46,160
Who's Tony?

245
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,760
Yes, Mickey. Who is Tony?

246
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:51,200
Uh,

247
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:53,200
no. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Anton's just

248
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,800
kidding around, aren't you? Listen,

249
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,160
Anton, I don't I don't know who wrote

250
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,240
this stuff. The pages were here when we

251
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,000
got here this morning. I I guess we got

252
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,600
some kind of Phantom working overtime

253
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,079
for us, huh? Damn good one, too,

254
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,640
wouldn't you say?

255
00:11:04,079 --> 00:11:09,600
We are not going to shoot these pages,

256
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:13,680
Mickey, are we?

257
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:17,600
I mean, I doubt you'd like the outcome,

258
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:19,760
babe. What can I do? I mean, I I just

259
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,200
got off the phone with the studio. I I

260
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:25,600
faxed them the pages this morning, and

261
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:28,399
they they went nuts for him, huh?

262
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:32,480
In fact, they're uh they're giving us an

263
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:34,720
extra 80,000 to shoot them. Mrs.

264
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,240
Paradise, you must be very fond of your

265
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,160
dear husband.

266
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,880
He's wonderful.

267
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,240
Yes. Well, we all think so. Why? Just

268
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,680
the other night, he was

269
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:47,040
Hey, hey, hey, Anton. I with Totty gone,

270
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:49,279
I'm going to have to have somebody to

271
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,120
take his place, right? So, I mean, it

272
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:53,920
just occurred to me. I mean, you got

273
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:59,440
style, confidence, kind of the look,

274
00:11:53,920 --> 00:12:04,440
huh? So, I mean, who better to play you

275
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:04,440
than you, babe? Huh? Huh?

276
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:09,600
Holland,

277
00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:13,120
I need to talk to you.

278
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,560
Look, Hollen, this is important.

279
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,639
What is it, Arcane?

280
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:19,040
You know damn well what it is. The story

281
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:21,279
of you and me and that laboratory

282
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,279
accident showing up in this TV script.

283
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:24,639
I had nothing to do with that. I don't

284
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:26,240
want the truth revealed any more than

285
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:27,839
you do. Because if it is, I'd become a

286
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,320
target for every hunter and publicity

287
00:12:27,839 --> 00:12:32,560
seeker. I can't allow that. Well, I can

288
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,240
afford it even less.

289
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:36,320
If I can find out who killed Todd

290
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,880
Michaels, then I'll know who the ghost

291
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:41,120
rider is. What puzzles me is the

292
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,399
connection between my past work and

293
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,240
Michaels himself.

294
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:46,399
Todd Michaels was found dead in your

295
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:49,200
motor home.

296
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:53,440
Perhaps he wasn't the intended target.

297
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:56,320
Well, what are you saying? That I was

298
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:58,480
My god, you're right.

299
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:02,680
I don't believe it.

300
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,680
Someone's trying to kill me.

301
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:06,560
All I know is what I've read in the

302
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,920
papers. I mean, I knew they were making

303
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:08,959
a movie near my house, but I haven't

304
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,720
been out there.

305
00:13:08,959 --> 00:13:12,800
You have had a number of serious run-ins

306
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,440
with Dr. Arcane in the past. You've been

307
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,279
heard threatening him.

308
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,839
I'll be honest with you, Lieutenant. I

309
00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:21,920
wish Anton Arcane had been esphixxiated.

310
00:13:19,839 --> 00:13:23,920
Strangled, shot, and mutilated, too.

311
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,440
He deserves worse. And the real crime is

312
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,360
that you people in law enforcement have

313
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,480
sat on your hands, been paid off, or

314
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,079
looked the other way.

315
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,000
Ma'am, Sheriff Andrews controls this

316
00:13:30,079 --> 00:13:33,839
jurisdiction. We were asked in by the

317
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,639
state. We just want to find out the

318
00:13:33,839 --> 00:13:36,720
truth.

319
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:38,720
Well, I certainly didn't kill anyone. I

320
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,480
mean, I wasn't a Todd Michaels fan.

321
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,440
Actually hated his acting, but nobody

322
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:47,240
deserves to die like that

323
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,240
except Anton Arcane.

324
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,120
more pages. Arcane mutates people for

325
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,560
fun, nails the babes, and has a grudge

326
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:02,000
match with a monster he made in the

327
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:04,000
swamp. It's fabulous.

328
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,800
Maybe even a pilot.

329
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,199
Have you read this garbage? What has

330
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:12,959
happened to my character?

331
00:14:09,199 --> 00:14:15,680
She is stuck in a plastic tube for years

332
00:14:12,959 --> 00:14:17,279
in a coma. Forget it. Works for the

333
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:18,800
picture, babe. If it makes you feel

334
00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:19,920
better, you can have first crack at my

335
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,160
next movie. Okay,

336
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,440
Mickey. No one in their right mind is

337
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:28,519
ever going to bang for me in a film

338
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:28,519
after this. I am calling my agent.

339
00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:33,360
She's right. You know, it is garbage.

340
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,720
You really think so, sir? I mean, it it

341
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,839
does tell the truth about your

342
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,720
greatness.

343
00:14:35,839 --> 00:14:40,639
Truth is for naive lovers, Graeme.

344
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,560
My greatness is not up for inspection,

345
00:14:40,639 --> 00:14:45,040
but watch my genius at work. Mr.

346
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,040
Paradise, a word. Make it quick, Kane. I

347
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,519
got real problems. Studio problems,

348
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:53,000
network problems, girlfriend problems.

349
00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:53,000
Where is casting?

350
00:14:56,959 --> 00:15:00,399
I have to get to know her better.

351
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,079
Does the offer you made to me this

352
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:03,839
afternoon still stand?

353
00:15:02,079 --> 00:15:05,360
About you playing the lead?

354
00:15:03,839 --> 00:15:07,279
Sure, babe. You want it? You got it. I

355
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,959
mean, assuming we can meet on terms. I

356
00:15:07,279 --> 00:15:10,720
was wondering if I could write a scene.

357
00:15:08,959 --> 00:15:12,079
Just a small one.

358
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,560
Just to put my fingerprints on the

359
00:15:12,079 --> 00:15:16,240
finished product, as it were.

360
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:19,120
That's it. You want You want to write a

361
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:22,480
scene? Consider it done, babe. Active

362
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:25,880
stomp on the material all the time.

363
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,880
Charlie, good.

364
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,880
Doctor, I thought you wanted nothing to

365
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,160
do with this.

366
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,480
All I want is to find out who the

367
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:35,480
murderer is. Graham, I know how to do

368
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,480
it.

369
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,440
The crew is not here. Let's have a look

370
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,440
around.

371
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,440
I've only seen Arcane's laboratory a few

372
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,440
times.

373
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,639
Well, this doesn't look a lot like it,

374
00:15:48,959 --> 00:15:52,880
but it's enough.

375
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:54,560
We don't have much time. I need to find

376
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,000
out who's trying to kill Arcane.

377
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,720
Maybe it's one of his victims come back

378
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,440
to haunt him.

379
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,720
If it is, it also haunts me.

380
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,839
Are you sure the light falling was

381
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,680
intentional?

382
00:16:01,839 --> 00:16:05,920
I'm not sure of anything. That's why I

383
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,680
had to come here. I need to sense the

384
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:11,120
area.

385
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,800
It's hard to explain.

386
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:16,600
Well, I'll take a look around.

387
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,600
I'll check the other sets.

388
00:16:37,839 --> 00:16:40,839
Alec,

389
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,480
are you okay?

390
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:53,360
Yes. Did you get a good look at him?

391
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:57,320
No, it was too dark. But he left these.

392
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,320
More changes in the script.

393
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,839
I can get into position, Graham. But you

394
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:03,680
don't know who the killer is yet.

395
00:17:01,839 --> 00:17:05,199
I will. Once the lights go out, when you

396
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,400
bring them out, the guilty party will be

397
00:17:05,199 --> 00:17:07,839
missing.

398
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,360
It's a staple of English theater. Now,

399
00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:10,880
go rig the generator.

400
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:13,880
Anton, could you step over here a

401
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,880
moment?

402
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,600
I wish we had talked about this scene,

403
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,199
Arcane, before you decided to write it.

404
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,839
That was just a thoughtful reflection on

405
00:17:19,199 --> 00:17:21,360
my work.

406
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:22,799
I know, but I have a very tight-knit

407
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:26,079
vision of the Arcane character.

408
00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:28,000
Hey, uh, Laz, um, I think we can bend a

409
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:29,679
little on the vision thing, don't you?

410
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,480
What's a few extra minutes in the total

411
00:17:29,679 --> 00:17:31,600
concept? Huh?

412
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,000
The script's integrity is very

413
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,840
important.

414
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Laz,

415
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:40,039
the only integrity you ought to have is

416
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,039
the integrity of your bank account.

417
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:46,760
Lock it up, people. We're going to make

418
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,760
us some art in one take.

419
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:55,039
Uh, careful there. That's uh several

420
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:57,840
thousand volts of electricity, huh?

421
00:17:55,039 --> 00:18:00,000
I I've worked with electricity before.

422
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,000
Yeah. Well, uh you know, the ground's a

423
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,440
little wet. You drop one of those live

424
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,120
ones, we're all going to get that rich,

425
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:10,679
tingly feeling, if you know what I mean.

426
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:10,679
Huh. Yeah. Follow me. Huh? All right.

427
00:18:16,559 --> 00:18:21,520
Now wait for action, Anton. I'm going to

428
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,400
start on the moon and then pan down to

429
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,880
you.

430
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:23,760
Yes.

431
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,440
Okay.

432
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:28,600
Yes.

433
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,600
On camera.

434
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:35,679
Action, Anton.

435
00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:38,080
What cruel fate befell me at birth? that

436
00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:40,160
my longing for fulfillment should

437
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,720
manifest itself in me by way of

438
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,880
curiosity. And yet

439
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:49,160
my mortality prevents me from finding

440
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,160
the ultimate answer.

441
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:59,200
Oh mystery of death, if there was only a

442
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,120
way to experience you without the risk,

443
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,880
like an actor on stage in his ultimate

444
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:06,000
performance.

445
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:08,320
Yet no actor is worthy of that role.

446
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,039
Todd Michaels was not worthy of that

447
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:13,760
role.

448
00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:17,240
Yes, his murderer is here. And I know

449
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,240
who he is.

450
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,679
The murderer of Todd Michaels is

451
00:19:23,679 --> 00:19:27,960
the lights.

452
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,960
Bring out the lights, Graham.

453
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,200
You all killed him.

454
00:19:35,039 --> 00:19:38,960
Tada was an absolute creep. If anyone

455
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,320
deserved to die, he did.

456
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,120
We all had our problems with them.

457
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,960
Arcane.

458
00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:43,679
Money problems, lady problems,

459
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,240
blackmail,

460
00:19:43,679 --> 00:19:48,480
not to mention bad acting.

461
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,520
Well, that explains the multitude of

462
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,600
injuries on him.

463
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,840
We're like a family, Anton. We all get

464
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,799
involved. My only question is how'd you

465
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,960
figure it out?

466
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:58,160
Well, I didn't actually. I thought

467
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,679
someone was trying to kill me,

468
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,400
especially when the light bar fell. And

469
00:19:59,679 --> 00:20:05,039
that was for Todd. He was on his mark

470
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:07,440
for once. You made him walk off.

471
00:20:05,039 --> 00:20:10,799
Oh well. Well, that changes everything,

472
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:13,840
doesn't it? So, your secret's safe with

473
00:20:10,799 --> 00:20:14,240
me. Well, shall we move on to scene 37

474
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,200
then?

475
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,960
Not quite. You're a dead man.

476
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:22,320
One more won't make a difference.

477
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:24,160
Actually, one more might make all the

478
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,559
difference in the world. I mean, just

479
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:30,960
think of the publicity.

480
00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:34,320
Anton Arcane dies making the Anton

481
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:37,320
Arcane stories. It's a tabloid classic,

482
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,320
huh?

483
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,559
You got a good

484
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,960
It's incredible we weren't killed,

485
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,919
doctor.

486
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,919
If Holland hadn't stopped him.

487
00:21:15,919 --> 00:21:19,280
Don't give him so much credit, Graham.

488
00:21:17,919 --> 00:21:20,880
Good God, man. And he wasn't doing

489
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,960
anything for me.

490
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,840
You're a genius, Dr. Arane.

491
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:28,960
Yes, of course. There is one more thing.

492
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:32,000
Those rewrite pages. If I find out who

493
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:36,760
is publishing those, death will be a

494
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,760
welcome relief when I finish with him.

495
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:54,120
I just wanted the world to know how

496
00:21:49,919 --> 00:21:54,120
great a man you really are.

497
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:08,960
For now, the truth about Arcane must

498
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,640
remain secret. But one day, the details

499
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,200
will be known.

500
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:19,559
I only hope that by then my battle will

501
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:19,559
be over and that I will again be human.

502
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Heat. Heat.

503
00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:57,559
Heat.

504
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:12,039
Heat.
