All language subtitles for The Pretender S01E15 Jaroldo

JAROD WAS A REAL
EVEN-TEMPERED MAN.

STAYED HERE FOR ABOUT A
WEEK, THEN HE WAS GONE.

I SORT OF ACT AS
BUILDING MANAGER HERE,

BUT MY REAL PASSION
IS ACUPUNCTURE.

JAROD REALLY GOT INTO IT TOO.

YOU STUCK NEEDLES INTO HIM?

ACTUALLY, I TAUGHT HIM
HOW TO DO IT HIMSELF.

FOR WHAT PURPOSE?
STRESS REDUCTION.

I'M VERY GOOD AT REDUCING
TENSIONS IN THE BODY.

FUNNY. I'M VERY GOOD
AT CAUSING THEM.

JAROD WANTED THE NEEDLES
PLACED ALONG THE BRACHIAL PLEXUS.

BRACHIAL PLEXUS? NERVE CENTER
FOR THE UPPER EXTREMITIES?

HE WANTED ME TO LEAVE THEM
IN UNTIL HIS ARM WAS PARALYZED.

HE'D WALK AROUND
LIKE THAT FOR DAYS.

YOU OBVIOUSLY LIVED
THROUGH THE '60s.

DOES YOUR COMPANION KNOW
THE CONCEPT OF FREE LOVE?

- WHEN DID HE LEAVE?
- TWO DAYS AGO.

WELL, THEN OUR WORK
HERE IS MERCIFULLY DONE.

OH.

BUT THEN YOU'LL
MISS OUT ON THIS.

HE SAID YOU'D
KNOW WHAT IT MEANT.

THIS BUILDING ISN'T
FAR FROM HERE.

HMM.

HE'S UP THERE.

WHERE THE HELL'S MY CAMERAMAN?

IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN.
STAY AWAY FROM ME.

STAY AWAY FROM ME. I
JUST WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

JAROD, WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING UP THERE?

YOU'D BETTER BE
ROLLING ON THIS GUY.

MY NAME'S JAROD.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

DAVE. MY NAME'S DAVE.

BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. I'M GUESSING
THAT'S YOUR WIFE AND YOUR CHILDREN.

THEY'RE GONE.

THEY WERE EVICTED, AND
NOW I CAN'T FIND THEM.

DAVE, I'M SURE THEY'RE FINE.

I'LL BET THEY'RE OUT THERE
SOMEWHERE WORRYING ABOUT YOU.

NOBODY'S WORRIED ABOUT ME.

IF THAT WERE TRUE, WOULD
I BE UP HERE ON THIS LEDGE?

I'M SURE THAT THEY
ARE LOOKING FOR YOU.

WHY SHOULD THEY? I DRINK SOME.

I CAN'T HOLD A JOB.

I'VE LOST THEM FOR GOOD.

I CAN HELP YOU FIND THEM,
DAVE. USE THE CAMERA.

TELL THEM HOW
MUCH YOU LOVE THEM,

HOW MUCH YOU MISS THEM,
HOW MUCH YOU NEED THEM.

BUT FIRST, WE HAVE
TO GET OFF THIS LEDGE.

GRAB MY HAND.

GRAB MY HAND.

ONLY THING WOULD'VE MADE THIS BETTER
WAS IF THE JUMPER WAS A TOPLESS DANCER.

POOR GUY.

ANNIE, EDIT OUT SOME CLIPS
FOR THE PROMO TEAM A.S.A.P.

THIS RUNS TONIGHT. WE GOTTA GET SOME
FOOTAGE OF THIS LOSER'S WIFE AND KIDS.

MAYBE THEY'VE CHECKED
INTO A HOMELESS SHELTER.

AFTER ALL THIS, DON'T YOU THINK
THE FAMILY DESERVES A LITTLE PRIVACY?

PRIVACY? TO GET HER FACE ON THE 10:00
NEWS AND SOME PARTY MONEY IN HER POCKET,

THIS GUY'S WIFE'LL
JUMP AT THE CHANCE.

NO PUN INTENDED, HUH?

TOO BAD YOU GOT SUCH A
GOOD GRIP THERE, JAROD.

- WHY IS THAT?
- A HEROIC ATTEMPT
IS AS GOOD AS A SAVE.

THE PLUNGE WOULD'VE GIVEN
THIS PIECE A BETTER PUNCH.

SPOKEN LIKE AN ANCHORMAN
WHO WANTS HIS ANCHOR BACK.

YOU KNOW, JAROD, IF MY INSTINCTS
ARE AS GOOD AS I KNOW THEY ARE,

YOUR FACE IS GOING TO BE RUNNING
IN EVERY LIVING ROOM IN AMERICA.

ACTUALLY, I THINK IT
WOULD PLAY BETTER...

IF PHIL GOT CREDIT FOR THE SAVE.

- WHAT?
- I MEAN, HE'S THE TALENT.

HE'S THE HERO THAT EVERYONE
TUNES IN TO SEE EACH DAY, NOT ME.

ONLY PROBLEM IS, OUR HERO WAS STANDING
IN A PARKING LOT 100 FEET BELOW THE ACTION.

- YES, I KNOW,
BUT YOU NEVER SAW MY FACE.
- SO?

SO IF YOU CUT IN JUST
AFTER I MAKE THE GRAB,

WE USE ALL THE COVERAGE I
SHOT BEFORE I GOT UP ON THE ROOF.

WE LAY IN PHIL'S VOICE-OVER,
AND THEN WE TAG IT WITH...

A PICKUP SHOT OF PHIL EXITING
THE BUILDING WITH THE JUMPER.

WE'RE NOT LONG FOR A TWO-SHARE AND LAST
PLACE WITH THAT KIND OF ATTITUDE. DO IT.

BUT CHRIS, IT'S... UNETHICAL?

YOU HEARD ME. MAKE PHIL A HERO.

- I THOUGHT ONLY GOD
REWROTE HISTORY.
- GOD NEVER WON SWEEPS.

BEAUTIFUL PART OF
TOWN. DANGEROUS.

NO WONDER JAROD LEFT THE
NOTEBOOK WITH THE ACUPUNCTURIST.

HE DOESN'T WANT US DOWN HERE.
COME ON, SYDNEY. WE'RE HERE.

LET'S SEE IF RATBOY
LEFT ANYTHING BEHIND.

THIS IS FUTILE.
JAROD'S LONG GONE.

AFRAID OF THE DARK, SYD?

ONLY WHEN I CAN'T
SEE WHAT'S IN IT.

DAMN IT.

MISS PARKER, MAYBE WE SHOULD GET THE
CLEANUP TEAM TO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT.

FORGET IT, SYD.

I'D TRADE A DOZEN FERRAGAMOS
FOR ONE JAROD ANY DAY.

I'M COUNTING TO THREE.

THEN I'M GONNA SHOOT
WHOEVER YOU ARE.

ONE, TWO... THREE!

- WHAT DO YOU WANT?
- WHAT YOU GOT?

I HAVE A NINE
MILLIMETER IN YOUR FACE,

AND YOU APPEAR
TO HAVE A KNIFE...

A RUSTY KNIFE.

OH, YOU MUST BE
FEELING LUCKY TODAY.

ARE YOU FEELING
LUCKY TODAY, HMM?

GET THEIR WALLETS AND JEWELRY
AND LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

WRITING PHIL'S COPY FOR HIM TOO?

I'M JUST TRYING TO SEND A
MESSAGE TO AN OLD FRIEND.

SO YOU THINK I WAS WRONG,

LETTING PHIL TAKE CREDIT
FOR SAVING THE JUMPER.

AS OUR NEW, ESTEEMED NEWS
DIRECTOR ALWAYS REMINDS ME,

I GET PAID TO CUT
TAPE, NOT TO THINK.

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND,
YOU WIN AWARDS DOING IT.

WELL, AWARDS DON'T COUNT
FOR MUCH AROUND HERE.

PULITZER'S ROLLING OVER IN HIS GRAVE,
AND NIELSEN'S PACKING DOWN THE DIRT.

PHIL HAS ASKED ME TO GO
OVER SOME OF HIS OLD FOOTAGE...

TO SEE HOW HE LIKES TO BE SHOT.

DO YOU THINK MAYBE YOU COULD
SHOW ME SOME OF HIS OLD TAPES?

YEAH.

SECOND SHELF. GREAT. THANK YOU.

THE KEN WATANABE
SHOOTING. I HEARD ABOUT THIS.

SO HAS HALF THE WORLD.

AND OUR IVY LEAGUE HITLER WAS
PISSED WE DIDN'T HOOK THE OTHER HALF.

IT'S CHRIS'S JOB TO
KNOW WHAT PEOPLE WANT,

AND IT'S OUR JOB TO
MAKE SURE THEY GET IT.

WHICH DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULD THROW OUT
ANYTHING RESEMBLING JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY.

IF IT BLEEDS, IT LEADS.

THAT'S THE NEW WAVE OF THE
NEWS, ANNIE, LIKE IT OR NOT.

WE EITHER SURF ALONG WITH IT, OR
WE GET TORN APART IN THE RIPTIDE.

IT'S REALLY AN ACT.

PHIL ACTUALLY WORSHIPS CRONKITE
IN SECRET MIDNIGHT RITUALS.

HMM.

WHO'S CRONKITE?

YOU'RE GONNA FIT
IN JUST FINE HERE.

TONIGHT, EXCLUSIVELY
ON SEATTLE'S CHANNEL 43,

OUR CONTINUING
SERIES ON LOCAL GANGS.

IN THIS SHOCKING FOOTAGE, OUR
OWN CAMERAMAN, KEN WATANABE,

CAPTURED ON VIDEOTAPE
A GANG GATHERING...

AT THE NORTH PUGET DOCK AREA.

BUT WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
TOOK US BOTH BY SURPRISE.

OUT OF NOWHERE, THE
15th STREET BLEEDERS...

CRASHED THE TURF OF THE BURNS,

LEADING TO AN
EXPLOSIVE CONFLICT...

A CONFLICT IN WHICH ONE OF
OUR OWN BECAME A CASUALTY.

OH, GOD, I'M HIT.
OH, GOD. OH, GOD.

PHIL, WHERE ARE YOU?
PHIL, I'M HIT. I'M HIT, MAN.

MY ARM. MY ARM. I CAN'T MOVE
MY ARM. GET ME OUT OF HERE, MAN.

GET ME OUT OF HERE.
COME ON. COME ON.

COME ON. GET UP.

TONIGHT, OUR PRAYERS
ARE WITH KEN WATANABE,

A COURAGEOUS YOUNG CAMERAMAN.

GOD BLESS YOU, KEN.

PHIL CAMPBELL, CHANNEL
43 NEWS, AT 10:00.

DEHLILA, I THINK ABOUT YOU
SO MUCH, MY BRAIN HURTS.

I HAVE TO MEET YOU, TO SEE YOU.

SAMSON.

I MEAN, BROOTS.

MR. PARKER? UH, MR. PARKER, SIR.

HOW-HOW CAN I HELP YOU, SIR?

UH... UH, NO. NO, SIR, I HAVEN'T SEEN
YOUR DAUGHTER SINCE YESTERDAY.

SYDNEY NEITHER. I MEAN, EITHER.

Y-YES, SIR. I'LL GET
ON IT RIGHT AWAY, SIR.

YEAH, WELL, IT'S A
PLEASURE TALK... TALK...

HELLO? HELLO?

- JAROD!
- DAVE?

YOU LOOK GREAT.

A STEP AT A TIME. THAT'S
WHAT THEY TELL ME.

I JUST CAME BY TO SAY THANKS.

OF COURSE, THE WAY
THAT STORY AIRED,

I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD THANK
THAT REPORTER PHIL OR YOU.

WELL, STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN
IN TV. I'M GLAD YOU'RE DOING WELL.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOT INTO ME.

DID YOU FIND YOUR WIFE AND KIDS?

YEAH, BUT SHE DOESN'T WANT
ME BACK UNTIL I FIND A JOB, SO...

I'LL KEEP MY EYES OPEN. YEAH.

WHAT DO YOU KEEP LOOKING
AT? OH, THOSE WIRES THERE.

IF THEY'RE PLANNING ON HOOKING UP
THAT SATELLITE DISH TO THEM WIRES,

THEY'RE GONNA BLOW OUT THEIR
ELECTRICITY IN NOTHING FLAT.

YOU'RE AN ELECTRICIAN?
NOPE. SATCOM GRUNT.

I WASN'T ANY BETTER AT JUMPING OUT
OF AIRPLANES THAN I AM FROM BUILDINGS,

BUT I DO KNOW A WIRING
PROBLEM WHEN I SEE ONE.

HEY, THANKS AGAIN, REALLY.

GOOD LUCK. THANKS.

PHIL, THESE PIECES
ARE EXCELLENT.

TWENTY YEARS OF
BROADCASTING WILL DO THAT.

I WAS ESPECIALLY IMPRESSED
WITH THE KEN WATANABE SEGMENT.

I WAS WONDERING. IS THE RAW
FOOTAGE LYING AROUND SOMEWHERE?

I'D LOVE TO SEE HOW
IT WAS CUT TOGETHER.

MOST OF THOSE
TAPES GET RECYCLED.

EVEN WITH A PIECE THIS GOOD?

YEAH, WELL, THE STATION DIDN'T USE
TO CHARGE ME FOR PARKING EITHER.

YEAH, RIGHT.

WAY TO GO, DAVE.

AS IF GETTING MUGGED
WASN'T ENOUGH.

YOU SHOT ME.

I DID NOT SHOOT YOU.

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

I NEVER LIKED GUNS.

I HOPE YOU'LL STOP
CARRYING YOURS NOW.

YOU'RE BLEEDING AGAIN.

I NEED SOMETHING ELSE TO TIE THIS
WOUND WITH. WHAT ABOUT THAT NECK SCARF?

IT'S ONE OF A KIND, SYDNEY.

WHICH IS WHAT MY GOOD LEG WILL
BE IF WE DON'T STOP THE BLEEDING.

I'M SORRY.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE GOING INTO
SHOCK. YOU NEED TO BE WARM.

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD, SYDNEY.

DON'T LOOK NOW, BUT WE ARE
GROUND ZERO FOR DETONATION...

TO BRING THIS DUMP DOWN.

PLEASE TELL ME THAT YOU TOLD
SOMEONE WHERE WE WERE GOING.

THERE'S SOMETHING
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

- WHAT'S THAT?
- WHERE ARE THE LITTLE ONES?

THE WHAT?

YOU ALWAYS SEE THE BIG PIGEONS,
YOU KNOW, WITH THE SCARS...

AND THE BROKEN WINGS
AND THE MISSING LEGS.

BUT YOU NEVER
SEE THE LITTLE ONES.

I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT
ABOUT IT. HEY, I KNOW YOU.

YOU'RE THE CAMERAMAN
THAT WAS ON THE NEWS.

I'M JAROD CRANE. KEN.

THAT WAS INCREDIBLE
FOOTAGE YOU CAPTURED.

THANKS. I NEVER PLANNED
ON BECOMING A STORY THOUGH.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING BACK
TO WORK AT THE STATION?

AND DO WHAT? LOG COMMERCIALS?

I'M A SHOOTER, MAN.

MY DAYS ON THE
FRONT LINE ARE OVER.

YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY. YOU PLAN
FOR YOUR LIFE TO GO UP ONE ROAD,

AND WHEN YOU FINALLY GET
THERE, THE BRIDGE WASHES OUT.

WELL, YOU NEVER KNOW.

LIFE HAS A STRANGE
WAY OF SURPRISING YOU.

HEY, LOOK AT THAT.

I'LL BE DAMNED.

LIKE I SAID, LIFE IS
FULL OF SURPRISES.

KEN WATANABE AND PHIL CAMPBELL,
FEBRUARY 18, ROLL NUMBER ONE.

OKAY. UH...

NOTHING FANCY, KENNY.
WE'RE JUST GONNA GO IN THERE,

AND WE'RE GONNA SIT DOWN, AND
WE'RE GONNA LISTEN TO THE BURNS...

TALK ABOUT THEIR
SIDE OF THIS TURF WAR.

THESE GUYS TEND TO TALK WITH
THEIR GUNS. KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT GETTING FANCY FROM ME.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT
IT, KEN. YOU'LL BE FINE.

LET'S DO IT.

YOU SURE THESE GUYS
ARE GONNA SHOW?

YEAH, THEY'LL BE HERE.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

OKAY, UM... RIGHT UP
THERE. HEAD THERE.

YOU BEEN HANGING WITH
THE HOMIES, PHIL, HUH?

YO! HEY, D-MAC!

HEY, D-MAC!
BLEEDERS IN THE HOOD!

I'M HIT! I'M HIT! OH, GOD!

MY ARM! MY ARM!

I'M HIT, MAN! PHIL, GET
ME OUT OF HERE, MAN!

GET ME OUT OF HERE! GET
ME OUT OF HERE! YOU'RE OKAY.

GET ME OUT OF HERE, MAN! GET ME
OUT OF HERE! GET ME OUT OF HERE!

INTERESTING UNDERSHIRT, PHIL.

FLAK JACKET STANDARD ISSUE
FOR A STREET REPORTER NOW, PHIL?

I'M DYING FOR A CIGARETTE!

HOW THE HELL DID I END UP HERE?

YOU REGRET TAKING ON
THE JAROD ASSIGNMENT?

- I REGRET A LOT OF THINGS.
- SUCH AS?

I REGRET NOT GOING TO THE PROM.

I REGRET LAUGHING AT
MY FIRST BOYFRIEND...

WHEN HE TOLD ME I WAS THE ONE.

AND IN THIS INSTANT, I
REGRET NOT HAVING...

A NICOTINE PATCH
THE SIZE OF A DOORMAT.

OH, NO.

YOUR ULCER, HUH?
AND NO MEDICATION.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE
FABULOUS SHERLOCK HOLMES.

LET ME SEE IT, SYDNEY.

REGRET'S OFTEN BORN OUT OF
A LACK OF CHOICE, YOU KNOW?

UNLIKE YOU, SYD, I DON'T THINK THAT
EVERYTHING IS OUT OF MY CONTROL.

YOU DO WHEN IT
COMES TO YOUR FATHER.

PLEASE, DON'T... DON'T
MISUNDERSTAND THAT.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST SAY IT?

I CAVED.

I ALWAYS DO AROUND HIM.

YOU CAN STILL WALK UP TO
YOUR FATHER AND TELL HIM,

"DAD, I'M LEAVING."

RIGHT. I CAN SEE IT NOW.

TWO KIDS, A LITTLE YELLOW HOUSE,

CHITCHATTING WITH THE
GIRLS OVER LATTES AT THE MALL.

YOU STILL HAVE A
FUTURE, MISS PARKER.

IT'S A HELL OF A FUTURE, SITTING
HERE WAITING TO GET BLOWN TO BITS.

HERE I AM, TRYING
TO COMFORT YOU.

AS IF ANYTHING YOU COULD
EVER DO WOULD GIVE ME COMFORT.

IT DID ONCE.

YOU ARE ONE HELL
OF A THROWER, JAROD.

IT'S ABOUT UNDERSTANDING
THE PROJECTILE'S AERODYNAMICS.

WELL, ACTUALLY, I JUST
CLOSE ONE EYE AND LET IT FLY.

OH. THAT'S IT. GOOD GAME.

I SHOULD'VE WARNED
YOU. I DON'T LIKE TO LOSE.

GOOD MAN. NEXT ROUND'S ON ME.

PHIL CERTAINLY IS IN A
GOOD MOOD TONIGHT.

YOU MUST BE VERY
PROUD OF ANNIE AND PHIL

GETTING NOMINATED FOR
THE KEN WATANABE SEGMENT.

YEAH, EVEN STIFFS LIKE PHIL GET LUCKY.
IF ONLY GRECIAN FORMULA WERE TALENT.

AWARDS HELP THE PROMO GUYS, I
SUPPOSE. THEY ALSO MAKE A NEWS TEAM LAZY.

NEWS IS ABOUT BEING
HUNGRY. ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

YOU GUYS GONNA DRINK WATER ALL NIGHT,
OR ARE YOU COMING TO JOIN THE REAL PARTY?

AND YOU, SMILE.

- IS THIS ABOUT KEN?
- HE SHOULD BE HERE.

SOMEBODY FORGOT TO INVITE HIM.

HE MUST'VE BEEN VERY PROUD,
TAKING ONE FOR THE TEAM.

KTJE's GOT A HELL OF A MEDICAL
PACKAGE. WATANABE'S ALL RIGHT.

KEN'S GONNA BE FINE. LOOK,
EVERYBODY IN THIS BUSINESS KNOWS...

THAT PUTTING YOUR TAIL ON
THE LINE IS A JOB REQUIREMENT.

KEN WAS GREEN. HE WAS
TOO ZEALOUS, AND IT COST HIM.

IF I'D HAVE KNOWN HOW DANGEROUS IT
WAS, I NEVER WOULD'VE LET HIM GO OUT THERE.

I'M SURE YOU WOULDN'T.

I'M NOT TRYING TO BE A
PEST, BUT I'VE GOT THE

TOWER BREATHING DOWN
MY NECK TO FIND THEM.

NOW SURELY THERE'S GOT TO BE A SWEEPER
TEAM SOMEWHERE NEAR THE NEW YORK CITY AREA.

EXCUSE ME? WHAT BUSINESS IS IT OF
YOURS WHAT MY CLEARANCE LEVEL IS?

NOW, LISTEN. YOU S.I.S. GUYS ARE
REALLY STARTIN' TO TICK ME OFF.

HOLD ON A SECOND. JUST HOLD ON.

- BROOTS!
- IT'S ME.

DON'T BOTHER TRYING TO TRACE ME.

- I'VE SCRAMBLED
THE SOURCE SIGNAL.
- JAROD?

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CONTACT
SYDNEY. JOIN THE PARTY.

HE AND MISS PARKER
WENT LOOKING FOR YOU TWO

DAYS AGO. WE HAVEN'T
HEARD FROM THEM SINCE.

SHE'S TOO PERSISTENT FOR HER OWN
GOOD. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIND THEM.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW PEACEFUL
IT'S BEEN HERE WITHOUT HER.

WOULD IT BE MORE PEACEFUL
WORKING FOR RAINES?

MR. RAINES? NO. TAKE
DOWN THIS ADDRESS.

1811 NORTH BUSHNELL
STREET, THE BRONX.

MISS PARKER?

TELL ME AGAIN HOW
MY MOTHER DIED.

STOP TORTURING YOURSELF.

I KNOW IT WASN'T SUICIDE.

WAS SHE MURDERED BECAUSE
OF THE RESCUED CHILDREN?

- I DON'T KNOW.
- WAS IT MY FATHER?

MISS PARKER, I KNOW ABOUT YOUR
MOTHER'S LIFE, NOT ABOUT HER DEATH.

SHE WAS A KIND WOMAN,

A DRIVING FORCE AT THE CENTRE IN
THOSE DAYS WHEN IT WAS STILL INVOLVED IN...

ALTRUISTIC PROJECTS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THE CENTRE WAS
EVER INVOLVED WITH ANYTHING POSITIVE.

WE HELPED FOUR COUNTRIES BECOME
DEMOCRACIES DURING THE COLD WAR.

WE BROUGHT THE SIDES TOGETHER
FOR THE KOREAN PEACE ACCORD.

AND RUMOR HAS IT THAT WE EVEN
HELPED DESIGN THE POPEMOBILE.

THE CENTRE SAVED
THOUSANDS OF LIVES...

LIVES THAT THEY LATER RECLAIMED,

AS IT TURNED OUT, IN OTHER WAYS.

WHY DIDN'T YOU LEAVE
WHEN THINGS TURNED?

THERE WERE OTHERS
WHOSE WELFARE...

WAS OF MORE CONCERN
TO ME THAN MY OWN.

JAROD.

HE'S NOT VERY DIFFERENT
FROM US, YOU KNOW?

WE'D ALL HAVE TAKEN
VERY DIFFERENT PATHS...

HAD WE HAD OUR WAY.

HERE YOU GO. PASS THE BALL, MAN.

- BOO-YA!
- EXCUSE ME. EXCUSE ME.

I THINK THAT WAS TRAVELING.

YOU MUST BE CRAZY,
STUPID OR BOTH.

NO, NO. AFTER YOU LIFTED YOUR PIVOT FOOT,
YOU TOOK MORE THAN THE ALLOTTED TWO STEPS,

AS OUTLINED IN THE
OFFICIAL RULE BOOK.

MMM. PIZZA?

THANK YOU, ANYWAY, BUT IT
ALREADY COMES PRESLICED.

HELP YOURSELVES.

WHAT, YOU GOT A DEATH WISH OR
SOMETHING, MAN? NOT THAT I KNOW OF.

DIDN'T YOUR MAMA EVER TELL YOU
THAT WHITE PEOPLE SHOULDN'T...

GO WALKING THROUGH OTHER
PEOPLE'S NEIGHBORHOODS?

WELL, I NEVER ACTUALLY KNEW MY
MOTHER, SO I GUESS THE ANSWER IS NO.

MY NAME'S JAROD CRANE.
I'M WITH CHANNEL 43 NEWS.

I'M LOOKING FOR A D-MAC.

YOU GONNA PUT HIM ON
TV? QUITE POSSIBLY, YES.

I'M D-MAC. NICE TO MEET YOU.

OW! HE'S GOT GAME. THE
BOY'S GOT SOME GAME.

HEY, MAN, THAT CAMERA GUY
SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THERE.

TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.
A MAN HITS MY CELL PHONE.

HE MUST'VE PAID SOMEBODY OFF
TO GET THE NUMBER. SOUNDED WHITE.

TELLS ME HE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT
THE TURF WARS. SOUNDED COOL TO ME.

THIS WHITE MAN THAT
CALLED YOU, IS THAT UNUSUAL?

YOU REALLY DIDN'T HAVE
NO MOTHER, DID YOU?

I NEVER KNEW MY OLD LADY EITHER.

LATER I HEARD WORD THE
BLEEDERS GOT THE SAME CALL.

THEY SHOW UP, AND BOOM,
BOOM, THE FIREWORKS STARTED.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT
DAY YOU GOT THIS CALL?

I DON'T KNOW. HEY, DUANE,
MAN, BRING MY DAY RUNNER.

WE'RE BANGERS, NOT
CAVEMEN. THANKS, MAN.

OKAY, HERE YOU GO. FEBRUARY
18, AT ABOUT 8:00 AT NIGHT.

COULD YOU TELL ME
YOUR CELL PHONE NUMBER?

TAKE MISS PARKER
UPSTAIRS. YES, SIR.

YOU GET SOME REST NOW.

IF YOU EVER WANT TO TALK
TO ME, I'M ALWAYS HERE.

OKAY? THANK YOU, SYDNEY.

SYDNEY?

WHY IS EVERYONE WEARING
BLACK? HOW COME YOU'RE SO SAD?

WE'RE REMEMBERING SOMEONE
WHO HAS LEFT US, JAROD.

IS IT THE WOMAN THAT
GOT SHOT IN THE ELEVATOR?

MISS PARKER'S MOTHER, ISN'T IT?

DON'T YOU EVER SPEAK OF THAT TO
ANYONE EVER AGAIN, UNDERSTAND?

I COULD'VE SAVED HIM.

WHO?

JAROD.

HE SHOULD HAVE
LIVED A NORMAL LIFE.

THEY WOULD'VE KILLED YOU.

YOU CAN'T KILL SOMEONE
WHO'S ALREADY DEAD.

YOU DO REMEMBER.

YOU BROKE INTO MY EDIT
FILE AND STOLE FOOTAGE?

"BORROWED" IS MORE LIKE IT.

AND I DID IT FOR KEN
WATANABE. YOU LOST ME.

KEN WAS SET UP. WHAT
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WHAT HAPPENED TO KEN HAPPENED
BECAUSE PHIL IS DESPERATE FOR RATINGS.

I-I-I DON'T BUY THAT.

BUY IT.

WHY ELSE WOULD PHIL
HAVE BEEN WEARING A

BULLETPROOF VEST THE
NIGHT THAT KEN WAS SHOT?

YOU ACTUALLY THINK PHIL
WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

I'M CERTAIN OF IT.
ANNIE, YOU KNOW HIM.

YOU'VE SEEN THE KIND OF PRESSURE THAT
PHIL HAS BEEN UNDER TO GET BACK ON TOP.

YEAH, BUT TO RISK
SOMEBODY ELSE'S LIFE.

HE'S A DESPERATE MAN, ANNIE.

HE WAS THE KING OF THE HILL,
AND NOW HE'S ON HIS WAY OUT.

ANNIE, I NEED YOUR
HELP TO STOP HIM.

HELLO, DAVE. THIS IS JAROD.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO
COME TO WORK FOR CHANNEL 43?

UH-HUH. YOU CAN TELL
YOUR WIFE YOU'VE GOT A JOB.

♪♪

LIGHTS.

♪♪

CAMERA.

HELLO, ANNIE. I'M SETTING UP A VERY
SPECIAL SCREENING IN CHRIS'S OFFICE.

I WANT YOU TO DO ME A FAVOR. MAKE
SURE THE GENERAL MANAGER IS THERE.

ACTION.

PHIL.

CHRIS JUST GOT WORD OF A SUMMIT
GOING DOWN BETWEEN TWO RIVAL GANGS.

HE THINKS IT'S GOING TO MAKE A TERRIFIC
FOLLOW-UP TO THE KEN WATANABE SEGMENT.

CHRIS TIPPED YOU ON THIS?

HIS SNITCH SAID THERE COULD BE
FIREWORKS, AND FIREWORKS MEAN RATINGS.

LET'S GO.

PHIL, WHY DON'T YOU
TEST YOUR HEADSET?

CHECK, ONE, TWO.

SO, WHERE SHALL WE SET UP?

OVER HERE.

WE CAN COVER THE DOOR,
STAY IN THE SHADOWS.

UH, JAROD. SOMETHING
DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT ABOUT THIS.

WELL, IT'S A PRETTY SCARY PLACE.

THAT AND THE FACT THAT KEN WATANABE
WAS SHOT JUST OUTSIDE OF THAT DOOR.

THAT MIGHT HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.

BUT PUTTING OUR TAIL ON THE
LINE... IT'S PART OF THE JOB, ISN'T IT?

OKAY, JAROD. JAROD?

JAROD!

- BURNS IN THE HOUSE!
- WORD!

- BRING YOUR PUNK-ASSES OUT!
- LET'S GO!

- DON'T WAIT FOR THEIR ASSES.
- JAROD, WHERE ARE YOU?

ABOVE YOU.

THIS IS NOT GOOD.

IT'S OKAY. I'VE GOT
YOU IN MY SIGHTS.

SMILE, PHIL. IT'S SHOWTIME.

ANNIE, WHY IS THE
GENERAL MANAGER HERE?

I THINK YOU HAVE A
MEETING WITH HIM.

MR. FERREN, WHAT A SURPRISE.

NICE TO SEE YOU
AGAIN, MR. FERREN.

SHOW'S ABOUT TO BEGIN,
GENTLEMEN. PLEASE, TAKE YOUR SEATS.

I'M INTRIGUED, ROCKWELL. THIS MUST
BE SOME SHOW YOU'VE PUT TOGETHER.

YES, SIR. THE BEST.

- WHAT?
- WHAT YOU WANT WITH ME?

WHAT'S UP, FOOL? WHAT
IS THIS, A GANG FIGHT?

WANT SOME OF THIS, HUH? YOU
WANT SOME OF THIS? IS THAT PHIL?

WHAT YOU GOT? JAROD, THESE
GUYS ARE GONNA KILL EACH OTHER.

IT'LL BE GREAT TV. YOU CALL
ME HERE TO THREATEN MY ASS?

THIS IS ON YOU,
DOG. DEAL OR DIE.

THIS IS GREAT STUFF, PHIL. GET
CLOSER SO WE CAN PICK UP SOUND.

I'VE GOT NO COVER
HERE, YOU IDIOT!

I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE.

DON'T LEAVE NOW, PHIL.
YOU'RE GONNA MISS THE STORY.

YOU WANT SOME OF THIS?
HUH? YOU WANT SOME OF THIS?

OR MAYBE YOU ARE THE STORY.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

- HE'S MINE!
- JAROD, HELP ME! JAROD, HELP ME!

JAROD!

JAROD, HELP ME! YEAH!

THIS IS GREAT. THIS
IS GREAT. KEEP IT UP.

LOOK WHAT WE GOT
HERE, FELLAS. UH-HUH.

DAVE, READY TO GO CITYWIDE?

GET READY, SEATTLE.

SO WHAT WE GONNA DO
WITH THIS WHITE PUNK?

I SAY WE BURY HIS SORRY
ASS RIGHT WHERE HE STANDS.

HEY, IT'S ON EVERY CHANNEL.

SOMETHING'S GOING
ON. LOOK AT THIS.

THIS IS GONNA BE A GREAT PIECE,
PHIL. JUST KEEP THEM TALKING.

THIS GUY'S GONNA SHOOT ME.

- JUST LIKE KEN WATANABE?
- WHAT?

JAROD, COME DOWN HERE!

WHAT'S UP? YOU GONNA DO THE
DEED OR NOT? 'CAUSE IF YOU'RE NOT...

NO, NO, YOU CAN'T
SHOOT ME! NO, YOU CAN'T!

HE'S GOT A TV CAMERA ON YOU.

CAMERAS. THEY CAN
DO WONDERFUL THINGS.

BUT KEN WATANABE'S CAMERA
COULDN'T STOP HIM FROM GETTING SHOT.

I DIDN'T KNOW THERE
WAS GONNA BE SHOOTING.

BUT YOU DID KNOW THAT A RIVAL
GANG WAS GOING TO BE THERE,

BECAUSE YOU TIPPED THEM OFF,

AND THAT'S WHY YOU
WORE A BULLETPROOF VEST.

I TIPPED THEM OFF. OKAY, OKAY!

YOU KNEW YOU WERE PUTTING
KEN WATANABE IN DANGER,

BUT YOU DIDN'T CARE BECAUSE ALL
YOU CARE ABOUT IS GETTING THE STORY.

YES! PLEASE, HELP ME!

I CAN'T DO THAT, PHIL.

IT'S RATINGS AT ALL COSTS.

LIKE YOU ALWAYS SAY,
"IF IT BLEEDS, IT LEADS."

I SET HIM UP. I SET HIM
UP. I SET IT UP, OKAY?

YOU GOT WHAT YOU NEED,
BRO? IT'S A SLAM DUNK.

I GOT EVERYTHING
I NEED RIGHT HERE.

"I SET HIM UP! I SET HIM UP!"

THAT WAS THE MONEY SHOT
YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR.

JAROD CRANE, CHANNEL
43 NEWS, REPORTING.

I'M HOLDING YOU RESPONSIBLE
FOR THIS, MR. ROCKWELL.

FORGET THE LIABILITY THIS
STATION FACES IN LIGHT OF THIS.

YOU RUINED A MAN'S LIFE.

SIR, I... SAVE IT. SAVE IT.

YOU WANT A NEWS FLASH,
CHRIS? YOU'RE FIRED.

OH, MY GOD.

MISS PARKER! SYDNEY!

- IT CAN'T BE.
- SYDNEY! MISS P.!

BROOTS! YOU MORON! MISS PARKER!

DOWN HERE!

SYDNEY, WAKE UP.

HI.

HOW'RE YOU DOING? I FIGURED
YOU GUYS MIGHT BE HUNGRY.

FORGET THAT. DOES
ANYBODY SMOKE? SMOKE?

NO. NO.

HI. UH, CAN I... THANK YOU.

BOY, IT'S LUCKY I
FOUND YOU GUYS.

OTHERWISE, YOU
WOULD'VE BEEN TOAST.

YOU CAN PUT ANY FANTASY ABOUT
ME THANKING YOU TO REST, BROOTS.

RIGHT.

SO, WHAT DID YOU GUYS
TALK ABOUT ALL THIS TIME?

NOTHING.

NOTHING AT ALL.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

THIS IS GREAT. I DON'T
KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU.

I MEAN, YOU BUILT
THIS HARNESS FOR ME...

AND GOT ME MY JOB
BACK AT THE STATION.

YOU'VE GOT TO PROMISE ME THAT
THIS WILL NEVER MAKE THE AIR.

I PROMISE.

WELL, YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO SEND ME THE VIDEO.

- THAT'S WHAT YOU DO, ISN'T IT?
- YEAH, IT IS.

GOOD LUCK, HUH? TAKE CARE.

WE GOT YOU COVERED
DOWN HERE, JAROD.

THIS COULD BE A
NEW WORLD RECORD.

NOW, THAT WOULD
BE NEWS, WOULDN'T IT?
