Getting blown up and hiding
my face in a muddy puddle.

Which isn't ideal

when you're trying to look cool
in front of Jody.

Who you just so happen
to have a major crush on.

- She's a camera operator.
- (giggling)

P.A. (over radio): Looking
for Tom Ryder's stunt double.

COLT: She's definitely
gonna achieve her goal

of being a big-time Hollywood
movie director. -(knocking)

(English accent):
You're so uncoordinated.

COLT: I don't want to
overromanticize it or anything,

but I think what Jody and I
got's the kind of thing

you can only really find
in the movies.

- Hey. Jody.
- Thank you.

Hey, Colt. Thanks so much
for the stunt chat.

Stunt chats.
I love 'em. Anytime.

Hey, uh, Tom needs to see you
at the monitor.

- Uh-oh.
- Yeah. (chuckles)

Am I in trouble?

She's talking about Tom Ryder,

who happens to be the biggest
action star on the pl--

Wait, why am I explaining this?

You know who Tom Ryder is.
He's Tom Ryder.

Anyway, I've been his
stunt double for six years now.

Uh... flying in.

What happened? What's up?

Guess we're going again.

You know Tom and Gail.

There's a lot of grumbling
and a bunch of hand gestures

over at the monitor, so I'm
not sure what's going on there,

- but...
- Let me guess-- too much face.

JODY:
Okay, guys. Go to one for me.

Um...

- Jody, right?
- What's your name again?

As you can see,
that is not my chin.

When you look at my face, look
at my jaw compared to his jaw,

it's like his chin is off.

It's like... -Yeah,
we can't replace his face.

It's like Mr. Potato Head.

I mean, no offense or
anything, but you know. -Oh...

Oh, yeah, no. Sorry, I got lost
in your beautiful jawline.

- It's dreamy.
- (chuckles softly) No, listen,

we're just saying
it's not working for us.

- Let's, uh... (clicking tongue)
- Okay.

Let's go again.

Oh, yeah, no,
we're gonna have to go again.

- Okay. Okay.
- Yeah. -100%.

I don't know, man.
Do you think, um...

Try and make some magic?

Maybe you could do it backwards
or something? I don't know.

- It's just... less face.
- Yeah.

COLT: The woman
freebasing the Diet Coke

is Tom's producer Gail.

She's been making him look
good for years. -Thank you.

- COLT: And it's not always easy.
- All right.

- Give me some. -(slaps bottom)
- Oh! I'm gonna...

I can't complain.

I'm working with my dream girl.

Mm.

- On my dream job.
- Copy. -Go back to one.

We got to switch
the pick points to the front.

- I'm living the dream.
- He wants to go again.

COORDINATOR: Copy that, Colt.
We'll flip the rig. -Thank you.

You'll be falling backwards.

Jody, go to two. -SECOND A.D.:
Stand quiet, please.

Everyone, stay off
channel one now.

Do you have a question for me?

Uh, yeah. It just looked
just now like you wanted

- to ask me something.
- Oh.

I was gonna go for
a spicy margarita after work.

I was wondering
if you drink spicy margaritas.

(laughs, sniffles)

Um, well,
just to keep it professional,

I can only have
one spicy margarita.

Because if I have two,
I start making bad decisions.

JODY: Well, you know,
drinking margaritas

is all about
making bad decisions.

Which reminds me, um,

after this job, I-I got to go
sit on the sand somewhere,

and I was wondering, uh...
I was gonna ask you a question.

JODY:
Tell me.

Do you have any towels
that I can borrow?

(Jody chuckles)

Yeah, I have some towels.

You know, it's so dangerous
to swim alone.

(sucks air through teeth)

Well, I would ask you to,
you know, be my swim buddy,

but I don't know
if you have a bathing suit.

Wait a second. What do you
call that across the pond?

We call it a swimming costume.
(giggles)

(chuckles)

Imagine that.

After this,
you and I could both be

on the beach somewhere
in swimming costumes

drinking spicy margaritas,

- making bad decisions.
- MAN: Okay, good to go.

JODY:
Imagine that.

FIRST A.D.: Okay, let's keep it
locked up all around!

(breathes deeply)

- Let's strap him in.
- Everyone quiet, please!

- Speed on "A."
- (exhales sharply)

You all right? -All right,
let's take him to ones.

- Tail slate. -Going to ones.
- Go ahead and sit back for me.

Let's go hot on stunts.

- And going out to the edge.
- Stunts is hot.

- Take up the slack.
- How we doing up there, stunt?

- Great. He's great. Here we go.
- Position down.

He's at ones.

Ready to drop the line for me?

DIRECTOR:
And three, two, one.

Action, action, action,
action, action!

(women screaming)

MAN:
Call the medic! Medic!

(overlapping, distorted chatter)

JODY:
Colt, are you okay?

PARAMEDIC:
I need you to step back.

You're not helping.

(monitor beeping steadily)

(typewriter keys clacking)

COLT:
What's that saying,

"Pride comes before the fall"?

Well, they don't mention

that it sticks around
afterwards, too.

(TV newscast playing quietly)

Jody tried so hard
to be there for me.

She really did. I just...

I couldn't do it.

(siren wailing in distance)

Then I just
disappeared completely.

Well...

- at least I thought I did.
- (phone vibrating)

(phone clicks)

Hello?

Oh! Colt!

It's Gail.

- Your favorite producer.
- How'd you get this number?

Someone said you were working
at the Captain's Cockatoo.

A valet.

Wow! I didn't believe it.

It's actually
El Cacatúa del Capitan.

It's a family-run place.
We pool tips.

("Fiesta" by
Mariachi La Estrella playing)

COLT: Plus, I get
all the burritos I can eat.

Kind of living the dream
if you think about it.

Break time's over.
You've got a customer.

Number 43.

(song continues
with lyrics in Spanish)

- Hey.
- (lively chatter)

Yo, bro, I know you
from somewhere.

Where I know you from, bro?

Oh, yeah, you were on
that Tom Ryder movie I was on.

- You're the stunt guy!
- Not anymore.

Did you, like, break your back
or some shit? -I did, yeah.

I know things haven't been easy
for you since... the incident.

And I just hope

that you don't hold it
against me or Tom.

You know, we were
absolutely devastated.

He sent you a message, right?

The prayer hands emoji?

Right, yeah.
He's still an asshole.

How are you even still alive?
Yo, babe.

- Babe, hey, come here.
- I don't know.

- I wish I wasn't right now.
- You got to meet this guy.

Come here.
You got to hear this.

You don't have to hear this.
It's fine. Hi.

This dude was on a movie
I was on.

- Most epic fail I've ever seen.
- WOMAN: Mm.

COLT: I don't blame
either one of you, Gail.

That was my fault.

And when you start
making mistakes like that,

it's time to hang up the pads.

GAIL:
Oh, it was an accident, Colt.

Everybody knows that.

(chuckles) Tom has put me
in a real situation here, Colt.

I just need a little bit
of help from an old friend,

who just happens to be,
you know, the best stuntman

I've ever worked with
in my life.

Which is why you are getting
on a plane for me tomorrow

and coming to Sydney.

I'm not getting
on a plane, Gail.

I can't bear that you would
throw away all that talent.

You shouldn't be
parking cars, Colt.

You need to be smashing
burning Kawasakis

through panes of glass.

Yo, fall guy? Yo.

Bring my car back
without a scratch,

I got a crispy fiver
here for you, bro.

(sighs heavily)

(siren wailing in distance)

(groans)

("Thunderstruck"
by AC/DC playing)

Come on.
It's gonna be like old times.

I know you've missed it.

Goodbye, Gail.

Wait, wait, wait!
Wait. Hold on.

Did I, did I tell you-- I--
Did I tell you

that the director's
asked for you specifically?

Sorry to disappoint him.

GAIL: Well, don't you want
to know who it is? -Nope.

Eh, it's new technology.

Basically, we use
the geometry of your face

to retarget Ryder's face,

and we put Ryder's face
back on top of your face.

Like a deepfake situation.

If you get a chance, turn me
into Tom Cruise, would you?

Hey, welcome to Sydney.
Are you Colt Seavers?

Yeah. Hey. Do you know
where I can get some coffee?

This jet lag
is really kicking in.

Yeah, no stress. I got you.

And does the director know
I'm here?

- She asked for me.
- Uh...

Does-does she want
to say hi or...?

I haven't heard.
No, sorry, bro.

Uh, but the stunt coordinator
wants to see you.

- He's just in the jacket there.
- Okay, great.

Will you just tell her
I'm here and...

you know, that coffee
if you get a chance?

Oh.

- Dan Tucker.
- (laughing)

Big-time Hollywood
stunt coordinator.

It's about time.

- (grunts)
- Congratulations.

Thank you. Look at you.

So do I call you "sir" now,
or how does that work?

Oh, feel free
to call me "boss," you know.

- Okay, boss.
- (laughs)

I don't think I should be
in this Nomex, right?

I mean, it's like, we're not
doing anything crazy, are we?

I was just about
to explain that.

A cannon roll?!

It's time for you to start
rolling cars again

instead of parking them.

You had an accident.

(stammers) It was a massive
miscalculation of the rig.

I-I almost killed myself
in front of the whole crew.

You know, I'd rather just not
have my first stunt back

be another epic failure,
especially in front of Jody.

I mean, you understand.

"It's not about how hard
of a hit you can give."

- Oh.
-"It's about how many times

you can get hit and keep
moving forward." -Come on.

That's messed up. You can't
quote Rocky on me like that.

JODY: So it's a laser gun
with a dagger?

PROPS WOMAN: Yes,
like a bayonet. -Right.

Do we need the bayonet?
Wouldn't the laser achieve...

On the battlefield, yes.
Hundred percent.

It just gives it
a quite a strange shape.

- Oh, this guitar bit at the end?
- Yeah.

Yeah, well, you said
you wanted metal,

so it's, like, heavy metal.
(imitates machine gun)

Okay, how-how... how many
have you done like this?

- Uh, two.
- Okay. Good.

- Hundred.
- Ooh. Okay. Yeah, fantastic.

- Thanks, boss.
- Okay. It looks like a guitar.

Yes. -Nigel, how we doing
on the pyrotechnics?

What's going on? -I think we
only have enough for one take.

- Boss! Boss, listen.
- No. Come on. -Yes.

Yes? -We could create
something that looks

- way more realistic with VFX.
- No, no, no.

- Come on. Give it to me.
- Venti, Venti, Venti.

I don't want real.
I don't want real.

This is a sci-fi epic,
cosmic love story. -Why?

Okay? Of cosmic proportions.

It's got to mirror
that otherworldly thing

when you fall in love.

You know, it's-it's imperfect.
It's beautiful.

I want it that way, okay?

Let's go big with
our one take, okay? -Okay.

- Holy shit.
- (people exclaiming)

Was that it?
Was that my one take?

NIGEL:
Uh, I'm sure we have--

- (explosions)
- Oh, my God!

Well, I got to say, though,
looks absolutely fantastic.

- RAY: Boss. Listen, listen.
- Look at that.

You sure you want
to use real pyros?

Yeah. -VENTI: But we
definitely don't need this.

- No, no, no, no. Yeah.
- We don't.

Well, we're just gonna
have to loop the actors.

- That's all.
- That's okay, Ray.

It's a stuntman in a car
with a helmet on, okay?

- Oh. Uh, all right.
- No looping. No monologuing.

What the hell is going on
over there, Rush?

We did not call for pyro.

I will seriously
track down your family

and kill every last one of them!

This is why they're doing it.

'Cause they feel you don't
respect them, Nigel, okay?

It's my tone. -Your tone,
your words, all of it, just...

- I see, okay. -Jody? Jody?
- Darla, yes? Okay. Yeah.

Jody, um, sorry, I...
I couldn't get my printer

- working last night...
- Okay, yep.

...but I sort of synthesized
our conversation

that we had on the third act,
and what if

one of the characters in the
film acknowledges in the film

that we're having a problem
with the third act?

- Yeah?
- No. No.

But I appreciate you thinking
outside the box, Darla.

- I really, really do.
- (explosion)

Nigel, you've got to stop them.

I will gut you like the pigs
that you are! -Oh, my God.

- Stop testing!
- Whoo!

- RUSH: Boss!
- Yep?

- Test went well.
- Fantastic.

Okay, so, guys, simmer down.
Eyes on me.

Here's what's gonna happen.

No VFX, Venti.
It looks absolutely fabulous.

Nigel, we need to shoot now.
The tide's coming in.

Let's go.
The shot's gonna be epic.

Shot's up in five, people.
Thank you.

(explosion in distance)

- DAN: Colt? Brother?
- (exhales heavily)

What's happening, man?

- Bad sand.
- Bad sand.

Yeah.

I think we got to postpone.
Hate to say it.

NIGEL (over radio):
Dan, what's the delay, please?

Uh, we're just doing
a little safety check.

It's the density.
It's bad density.

We're looking at
the density of the sand.

There's a new driver.

- Who is it? Where's Henry?
- No idea.

Nigel, this is
the biggest shot of the film,

and I have a newbie.

- Dan says we can do it.
- Okay.

Seriously, we're gonna drift
all over the place.

What is that, a king tide?

Here's what you do.
You wait till it comes in.

It compacts the sand,
then we shoot sunset for sunup.

You're stalling.

- Maybe.
- You're stalling.

Two things can be true.
(groans) -Brother, I've got

a tent full of
rookie Australians out here.

I'm gonna be sick.

You got this. You're the one.

- Why you got to say that?
- Okay?

Why you got to say that?

You've done this
a million times.

And so have you.
You know, you just jinxed it.

You just jinxed it!

Hey, Dan, I need the driver
in the car now, please.

- Okay, the tide's coming up.
- DAN: Okay.

Thank you so much.
Appreciate you.

- Is that Jody?
- Yes, it's Jody.

(indistinct radio chatter)

She say something about me?

Stop with-- your-your face.
Stop it. Stop it.

She didn't say
anything about you.

Get in the car!

(exhales sharply)
This is really important to her.

Yes, it's important to her.

- Is this Comic-Con or something?
- Hall H.

- Just go with it.

Yeah, helpful?
Okay. Here we go.

So, sci-fi love story,
two characters,

one of them's an alien--
Aliena--

and you're Space Cowboy.

They shared what's called
a moon season.

In real life,
you might call it a fling.

Um, brief but very intense.

And... hopeful.

Now, neither of them
had ever been in a relationship

that deep before.

And they told each other that
over and over and over again.

Him more than her,
you know, to the point where

sometimes she was like,
"Chill out," you know.

But anyway,
in a tragic turn of events,

Space Cowboy is wounded,
and he just disappears.

Without a trace.

(blows sharply)

I can keep going.

I can hit the rock
better now, thanks.

We're going again!

- MAN: Everything okay?
- MAN 2: You good?

JODY: For a little more
context, Colt,

Aliena's sort of devastated.

And she starts sort of
replaying everything

in her head over and over again.

Did she misread the vibe?

Was it just a fling?

Did she let her imagination
run wild again?

Or did he lie to her?

Was he full of shit?

But let me be clear:

eventually, Aliena did move on.

All right?

And she started doing Pilates.

Got herself
a banging revenge body,

and then she started dating
other humans.

One after another.

And she had
so many mind-blowing,

far superior experiences,
you wouldn't even believe it.

- Right, girls?
- Yeah.

- You know what I mean?
- Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it was like a sushi train.

(groans) I'm gonna be sick.

And do you know what?
We're gonna go again, Colt,

'cause there was
a little buzz on that one.

MAN:
Okay, light him up.

NIGEL:
Last one, everybody. Action!

(dramatic music playing)

- (Colt grunting)
- (music stops)

JODY: It-It's just feeling
so withheld,

so how 'bout some dialogue?

Yeah, that's all right, Darla.

I'm gonna go
straight to the source.

Hey, Colt, if Space Cowboy
had to say something,

if he was forced to say
something, what would he say?

How would he justify

this year she's spent
spinning out over this?

What could he say?
It's a puzzler, isn't it?

- But have you got any thoughts?
- Uh, maybe he could talk...

Nigel, can you, can you
get him a bullhorn?

I can't hear him.

Traveling.

(bullhorn siren whoops)

Come again, Colt.
What was that?

- It's already on.
- (clears throat) In this movie,

do the aliens and the humans
ever talk...

in private?

- No, not really.
- No private conversations?

JODY: No, they don't like
doing private.

Like, they like
to keep it very public.

- Very open.
- Oh.

Well, maybe I'll just, uh,
open it up to the group here.

Have you ever been in one of
those situations where...

...you want to say something
and it's so important

that you can't mess it up?

So, you think
long and hard about it,

and then you realize...

you've already messed it up?

'Cause you've thought
too long and too hard about it?

You're...

What's that?

- You want...

I had a similar situation

when I fell in love
with my wife's sister.

- Okay. All right. What...
- No.

- No. Okay.

COLT:
Uh... (clears throat)

And again,
this is hard because...

you know, I haven't
read the script.

But...

...he'd probably say...

...that he's been living...

...in total regret since then.

You know, afraid...

that he'll never get
an opportunity

to make it up to her...

...because he waited too long.

And...

...she's probably moved on.

NIGEL:
Uh, sorry, Jody,

speaking of moving on,

One more?

I'd love another chance.

- Roll it, Nigel.

Gail?

Oh. Coffee.

Mm! You're here.

Oh, no, don't use that.
It's broken.

Eight and a half rolls?

That is a world record!

Thank you so much. (laughs)

It's better than parking cars,
isn't it?

(laughs excitedly)

- Would you cut the shit, Gail?

What? It was amazing.
What are you talking about?

She doesn't want me here, Gail.

Yes, she does.

Oh, of course she does.

- You lied. You lied.
- Oh. (clicks tongue)

- Colt. (blows raspberries)
- Do you know how that feels?

I think you deserve
a second chance.

It's, like, the message
in all my movies.

What's the message
in all my movies?

Uh... (stammers)

Nihilism's a viable worldview?

No, that's just
the entertainment.

That's like the...
(smacks lips)

like the sexy bacon.

- What is this?
- You know? It's like dogs.

You got to wrap the message...
(clicks tongue)

in some sexy bacon.

I mean, all those movies,
people fall down.

They're rolling
in their own shit.

They don't think they can cope,
but they can. They get back up.

Do you mind if I lay down?

With the multiple fire burns
and the cannon rolls

- and the jet lag, I just...
- Yep, yep, yep.

...could use a little shut-eye.

Yep.

Okay, let me get this straight.

- Nihilism is the sexy bacon?
- Yeah.

The audience are dogs?

There we go.

And when you fall down,
you get back up.

- Thank you.
- I'm glad we did this.

Now, what am I
really doing here, Gail?

Um...

Ryder's missing.

He has fallen in

with some shady,
shitty, shitty people.

Well, Gail...

...call the cops.

I can't call the cops.

Well, why not?

The studio will know
that I am way over budget.

They will pull the plug on this.

You know that.

Please go and find him.

Why me?

You're a stuntman,
for God's sake.

No one's gonna notice
whether you're here or not.

- No offense.
- I mean, some taken.

You know him intimately.

It can be so simple.

You pick him up,
you dust him off,

you bring him back here.

I know I can trust you.

And you know who can
trust you more than anyone,

she just doesn't
realize it yet, is Jody.

This is her big chance.

Do you want her first movie
to be her last?

You've got to help me out, man.

It's been a long couple days.
(sniffs)

I'm gonna go to the hotel,
I'm gonna--

What is it? It's my yesterday,
it's your tomor--

I'm gonna call you
your tomorrow.

- Right, no. Today.
- My today.

That is the door code
of Ryder's loft.

The patio door.
Took it from his trailer.

He's still doing
this Post-it note thing?

Oh. (stammers)
Let's not even get into that.

At this point,
it's like Memento level.

I can only keep this
from Jody and the studio

48 hours max.

Save Jody's movie,

and maybe you get
the love of your life back.

Did you just turn Jody
into the sexy bacon?

She's been
the sexy bacon all along.

You're good.

It's the only left-hand drive
I have.

Please don't wreck it.
It's product placement.

There's only two of them.

I know how you stunties drive.

You seek to destroy
all I hold dear.

Were you "chilling down"
to Taylor Swift?

Australians say.

Really? I've been here for six
months, I've never heard it.

Yeah, "chilling down under,"

You know, when I think of

...doesn't seem like enough.

(chuckles):
Okay.

No problem.

Boundaries. Boundaries.

That's important.

He's, like, really drugged up
and paranoid right now.

He thinks someone's
trying to kill him.

And I'm like, "If you don't
finish Metalstorm,

I'm gonna kill you myself."

Now, there is
some dark shit going on.

And the sooner I can get
out of here, the better.

Wow.

Any idea where I could find him?

Uh, you could try this club
he hangs out at.

But you're never gonna get in
looking like a povo.

- What's a povo?
- A poor person like you.

Oh. Cool.

IGGY: What's with your
Miami Vice Stunt Team jacket?

COLT: Oh, it was
the first show I ever did.

I had to jump a boat
through a ring of fire.

I got so good I could do it

with my hands
tied behind my back.

Wow.

You're really into yourself.

They won't let a nobody

movies so twisted.

And that's all we want.
A little hope.

No, that is Pretty Woman,

where she is
a lady of the night,

and this is Notting Hill,

where she's
a very famous actress.

Oh. Well, don't listen to me.

What do I know?
Look, you're the director.

You're gonna make
the right choice.

I'm just saying,
for people like me,

who may not necessarily get the
metaphor of the split screen.

You may not get
the deeper metaphor,

but you're gonna see it.

You're gonna see
this bright line between them

that we're gonna ache
to see blur.

You know, but maybe it can't.

- Mm.
- Maybe it doesn't.

Right. Right. Yeah.

(breathes deeply)

But what do we know, right?

'Cause all we know at this point

is that the cowboy
likes the alien.

Does the alien like the cowboy?

She's on the fence.

Right.

Because they got problems.

Because she's an alien and he's
a cowboy, and that's a problem.

But is it a problem
they can't overcome?

Here's a question.

Are they even gonna try?

What do you think?

Do you think they're gonna try?

I think... (sighs)

I think this was
a great brainstorm.

So...

what'd you decide
about the split screen?

I have a better idea.

these characters is so strong

that nothing can
come between them.

There's a dead guy on ice
at the hotel, Gail.

Wait. Sorry.
What are you talking about?

Well, if you think

Yes, Gail.

The one
I just saw you in, Gail!

He was so dead, Gail.

He was very dead. Super dead.

Colt. Hey, man.

(grunts)

(prolonged yelling
over speakers)

Look at that.
Yeah, makin' a movie here.

Could you leave us, please?

Yeah.

JODY:
Ooh, Gail. So tense.

RYDER:
You remember old Dressy, right?

(groans, exhales)

Stuntman.

I never forget a fist.
(sighs)

Listen, I'm gonna need
the phone. Where is it?

It's a matter of urgency.
I need to know.

Right. The one that proves
that you killed Henry, not me.

- Eh...
- That phone.

- Well...
- Yeah.

I'm gonna hold on to that.

Seems like it's the only thing
keeping me alive right now.

What?

He's the prime suspect, Jody.

Gail, come on.
Are you kidding me?

- I know.
- Colt?

- Yeah.
- There's no way.

- That's what I said.
- There's no way!

What went wrong?

- What went wrong?
- Mmm.

What went wrong?
Well, as I look at it,

you know, you're--
you're torturing me

right outside your superyacht
like a Bond villain.

Dipshit!

What went wrong?

What went right?!

(exhales) You changed.

You changed.

Yeah. We used to be
like brothers, you and I.

Entered into the sacred bond
of actor and stuntman, man.

- Oh, God.
- Yeah.

You think Colt could murder
a human being?

- GAIL: No, I don't.
- Did you tell them that?

- I said that.
- This is a man--

This is a man
who spent 23 minutes

ushering a cockroach
out of my room once,

and I was like, "Just stomp
on it," and he was like,

"No, let it live."
I mean, it's Colt.

I told them all of that.

I told him who he is--
who I thought he was.

Did you, emphatically?

- Yes, I did.
- Yeah, because he

was at the airport
where you sent him.

He never got on the plane, Jody.

- How many movies have we done?
- Oh, I don't know.

How many? Yeah, too many
to count, that's right.

Yeah. -'Cause I put you
in the contract, didn't I?

I put you there, right there.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah? That's right,

I had the assistant,
the makeup and hair... -Right.

...uh, trainer, and then boom,

Ryder's number one stuntman,
Colt Seavers.

That was me, I did that.
I did that for you.

What are you gonna
do for me? Huh?

Die, I guess?

Right? Die?

- Is that the plan?
- RYDER: It's nothing personal.

Oh, my God.
Well, I'm taking it personal.

- Yeah, I can see that.
- The torture.

You know what?
It's just business.

- The drugging, the Taser.
- You know, it's just business.

I mean, Tom Ryder's
a global brand.

- I'm taking it personal.
- I literally move markets.

If I go down... (whooshes)
the freakin' Dow goes down.

If you break your back,
I replace you like this. Boom.

You know, if you'd just
stuck to your job

instead of trying to
hog the spotlight,

this wouldn't have happened.
I mean, Henry wouldn't be

on the scene, his accident
wouldn't have happened,

your accident...
freaky little fall.

'Cause you just
push my buttons, man.

Wait a second. What?

(Ryder sighs deeply)

RYDER:
What?

What did you say
about my accident?

Well, you know,
you pushed me over the edge.

You literally pushed a button.
I mean, you didn't--

I mean, I pushed the button.

I had to crank it up a notch.

That was you?

Yeah.

Had to teach you
a little lesson, didn't I?

(Southern accent): Got a little
too big for your boots,

didn't you?

(normal accent):
Henry's no different, you know.

(laughing)

Hey. You do your own stunts?

Do I do my own stunts?

In front of all those people,
that's humiliating.

And yeah, I'm gonna
kick you into next week.

(scoffs)
But then Gail, you know...

- Remember Gail, right?
- I've known her for 15 years.

Oh, yeah. I forget, 'cause
you've been out of the game

- so long, you know?
- I introduced the two of you.

Calls me up and says,
"It doesn't look good."

Bad for marketing and renting,

and blah, blah, blah,
and murder and...

I know, I-I-I d-- (sniffles)

(crying): I real-- I really
don't need this right now.

Fucking Henry!

Don't worry about it.

You lay low...

and I will handle everything.

Maybe we don't know people
as well as we think we do.

- Oh, my God.
- You know?

Oh, my God, it's Colt.

- Give me the phone.
- No.

- What are you doing?
- Gail, get off the pho--

- Oh! What are you doing?
- Oh, my-- Jesus Christ, Gail!

- Oh, my-- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- Oh, my God.

- Let me help you.
- No, stop it.

- Let me take it up to--
- Do you know what?

- Just give me a minute.
- Yep.

Just give me a minute.

- Yep.
- Come on.

RYDER:
This plan was so simple.

Yeah, we were gonna put
Henry's body on ice

so it doesn't decompose.

We could pull you out from
that rock you crawled under.

- My life, yep.
- You know, scan your face.

Dressy here is gonna stick you
on the murder video.

Drug you, drive you
and Henry's body

off the Sydney Harbour Bridge,
in your car-- boom.

You got murder, suicide.

Cut. Check the gate.

Move on. Beautiful.

I think we have different ideas
of what simple is.

Y-You just didn't
stay down, did you?

You had to, like, uh,
create a big scene,

like Colt Seavers does.

You could-- But you know what?
This can still work

because we got the murder,
now we just need the suicide.

(sighs heavily)

- Sad.
- It's plot heavy.

We're getting tangled
in exposition.

Lose the last part--
the suicide.

You lose the audience
if there's too much.

Colt.

Where's the phone?

Tom, you need carbs!

Your brain runs on glucose!

(stammers)
For simple cognitive functions.

- You need them.
- Colt, you're the fall guy.

You're the fall guy, you know.

Where's the phone?

I mean, I-- You can keep
taking hits all night,

but you know what?

I can think of a few
other people who can't.

We could bring Dan up here,
maybe Jody, perhaps.

I mean, I like Jody,
but you know.

There's no phone.

Okay? That's the twist.

No phone.

He shot it out of my hand.

Up there, go check.

You, too, all of you.
I'll wait.

- (laughs) He shot it.
- You didn't know you did that?

It's crazy. I've been wanting
to tell you this whole time.

No, he didn't.

- I was by the door frame.
- No.

And he shoots it
out of my hands!

- No.
- Take the ties off.

- Oh, my God, what a relief.
- That's crazy.

You were right about one thing,
that was the only thing

keeping you alive.
(sighs)

I really wish you could see

what Jody's gonna do
with Metalstorm.

It's gonna be awesome.

And honestly...
it's gonna be a banger.

DRESSLER: Not so cocky now,
are you, mate?

Jesus, Mike Mike,
put a lid on it.

RYDER: Wish you didn't
break that bond, bro.

Wish you didn't break that bond.

All right, stuntman,
time for a drink, mate. Eh?

- There we go. Eh?

Help!

Listen. Everyone's saying
you killed Henry.

- What's happening?
- Oh, that's not true.

You're gonna hear a lot
of things that aren't true.

I just wanted to say that
when I first got here,

when you asked how I was doing
and I gave you the thumbs-up,

when you were like,
"That's stunt guy bullshit,"

and you're right,
it's total cliché,

but, you know,
there's a reason you don't see

the thumbs-down stunt guy.

You know, it's kind of part
of our training.

Right? You know,
you get hit by a car,

you get thrown out of a window,

you get set on fire,
you give the thumbs-up.

But, uh, after my accident--

turns out was not an accident,
by the way--

I, uh...

I wasn't okay.

And not because I broke my back,

because I just felt
like a huge...

failure.

And I realized that, uh...

you know, I'm not invincible.

Huge shocker.

And I thought maybe
I wasn't so special

or something, so I, uh...

just figured that
the thumbs-down version of me

wasn't what you got
into it for, so I disappeared.

But, you know, I didn't
just disappear on you.

Uh... just disappeared on,

(sniffles)
on, uh, myself... too.

Anyway, I'm sorry.

You deserved more than that.
I'm sorry.

I just wanted you to be honest.

You know, honestly,
it, uh, all hurts.

Getting hit by a car hurts.

Getting thrown out
of a window hurts.

(sniffles) Getting set on fire
really hurts.

But, uh...

- Nice work with the pen.

So sorry. -No, it was great.
You got it out just in time.

I think the ink poisoning
didn't set in.

- (kisses) Chef's kiss.
- What's going on?

Huh? -Everyone's saying
that you killed Henry.

Ryder killed Henry.
He framed me.

There's footage of you.

- Well, he deepfaked me.
- What?

They do it all the time
on the Internet.

They take Tom Cruise's face,
and they put it on yours.

And you can't tell
the difference.

No. Okay, so where's
the real footage

of Ryder killing Henry?
How do we get it?

It was on Ryder's phone, and
then it got destroyed because

Dan's Last of the Mohicans
plan didn't work out. -What?

It's not his fault, you know?
He called tomahawk first, okay.

I got "blanks only."

And it was going
pretty well, actually,

and then Dressler showed up.

So he, you know, he does this,
like, Jason Bourne shit.

Okay, I have so many questions.

Okay.

Who else knows you're alive?

- Great.

No, that's the point.
I mean, I figure

we can't finish the movie

What movie?

Metalstorm.

What about Metalstorm?

If they think I'm dead,
they'll come back and finish.

- Who?
- Ryder.

- Finish what?
- The movie.

- Metalstorm?
- Exactly.

- Are you insane? You are insane.
- What?

You need to be
burning your fingerprints off,

and you need to be
getting across the border

as fast as possible.

We're gonna hide you
until we can clear your name.

None of it matters anymore.
It's just a stupid movie.

- What?
- It's a stupid movie.

Don't say that.

That's Metalstorm
you're talking about.

That's the movie you spent
your whole life trying to make.

Who knows?

You might inspire a whole
generation of little Jodys

to pick up cameras
and make their own movies.

You're just-- you're special.

And all of us get to be

Whoa!

This does not seem safe, man!

Dan, where are they?
Do you have eyes on them?

DAN (over radio): I see 'em.
Everything's going to plan.

I'll block the road.

They shall not pass!

JODY: I see them.
They're entering Ambush Alley.

DRESSLER:
I can't see shit!

McCabe, one!

McCabe, two!

McCabe! Now!

I love my job.

RYDER:
Whoa, mama!

Oh, goddamn!

I can't think straight when
you drive like this. -(laughs)

You're supposed to be dead.

You blew up
in-in a thousand pieces.

You went kaboom.

Why would I have blown up,
Tom Ryder?

Why are you saying my name
like that?

COLT: That is your name,
isn't it, Tom Ryder? -Yes, yes.

A blind man could see
that you're

- Tom Ryder.
- You're saying that like...

- (mocking): "Ryder, Tom Ryder."
- Okay. That's me.

You're saying it like
some obsessed fangirl.

That's me, Colt Seavers,
saying that.

Roll the cameras.
We're heading for the jump.

(over radio): Tom Ryder's
doing his own stunts!

Everyone, roll. Arm car?

Check.

- Heli.
- PILOT: Check.

I'm done taking the falls
for you.

You're gonna do your own stunts
from now on.

I don't want to do
my own stunts, Colt! -Relax.

It's just a 250-foot jump
that'll probably kill us.

It's never been done before.
It's for Comic-Con.

- It's Hall H. It's a big deal.
- What are you doing, man?

COLT:
I thought it'd be fitting.

Me and you, Tom Ryder,
one last stunt.

You know,
like Thelma and Louise.

- Thelma and Louise?
- Yeah.

- They die at the end.
- Exactly!

Murder-suicide.

Can you just pull over
and let me out right now?

COLT: You're not getting
out of this car until you,

Tom Ryder, tell me,
Colt Seavers, the truth!

RYDER: All right, all right,
all right, all right!

It was all Gail.

When I killed Henry,
she wanted to cover it up

because, to be honest,

Space Cowboy's one of
my best roles yet, Colt,

and I don't want
this movie to fail.

So you're saying that Gail Meyer

was responsible for framing me
for your murder of Henry?

Yes! Yes!

But what's your real name?

Tom Ryder.

Did you get that, Jody?

We got it! He confessed.

RYDER: You wearing a wire?
Bro, you recording this?

This is entrapment.
You can't do that.

- What are you doing?
- No, it's not entrapment,

because you're wearing
the wire, dipshit!

(engine revving)

(Ryder yells)

JODY:
He's going for it. Go. Go now.

RYDER:
I'm just an actor!

Wait.

He has a mouth guard.

I don't have a mouth guard.

(Ryder screaming)

(screaming continues)

(grunts)

(Colt groans)

- Oh, good.
- JODY (over radio): Colt!

- You're alive.
- Are you okay?

(groans)

Are you okay?

COLT: I told you
I'd make the camera up to you.

Oh, it was fantastic.

GAIL (over radio):
Dressler, come in! -Ah!

Oy, can you hear me?
We've got to get out of here!

RYDER (recorded):
This is all Gail's fault, man.

This is all Gail's idea.

- GAIL: Give me that confession!
- (stammers) No.

Give me all the media!
Are you deaf?!

(over radio): Dressler, bring
the helicopter to the trench.

- What about Ryder?
- Now!

Now, about this date.

GAIL:
Put it in the case, you numpty!

Can we call it a date?

I mean,
that's what it is, right?

- Gail, Gail, Gail.
- (sighs)

- Listen...
- Give me the recording, Gail.

Darling, calm down.
Just come with me.

We don't need
all this toxic masculinity,

because we're the same,
you and me.

You know, we're survivors.

No, no, no, no.
I'm nothing like you.

COLT: I don't want to be
presumptuous, I mean,

but let's call a spade a spade.
(chuckles)

GAIL:
That's why I gave you the job.

- Okay.
- Well, that and because

you're so easily moldable,
you know?

- Oh! (mutters)
- Gail, just give me the case!

This is a Gail Meyer production!

Not yours!

Rendezvous with the boss

Extraction to the spaceship set.

DAN:

Oh, no, Big Red.

I don't think
you're gonna make that one.
