absolutely I think this movie's going to
be huge we're looking at a 20 million

perfect name for my last picture what
this is no time to be joking Rick this
studio has 30 million investors in this
picture and we're counting on you for
sequel there's not going to be a sequel
Ross like I said this is my last picture
as of now Rick stone is retired retired
have you looked at your contract you're
committed to do a sequel least assault

gonna be a franchise with merchandising
that works and you're part of it you
can't just walk out on me Rick you're
the biggest action star in Hollywood
you'd have to be insane to walk away
from that no amount of money is worth
living under a microscope it's not as
easy as that Rick we've got hundreds of
people in this studio
actors directors technicians they count
on Rick stone pictures for a living the

instead let's stop being such a very
ELISA let's take a little look at your
big stone video okay oh I don't know
it's nothing much just exclusive footage
of Rick stone with his secret mistress
at least I think it's his mistress Adam

that's what I thought this has got to be
his mistress and with all the nudity and
groping well I don't know Jake you're
the expert leave something like this
would get ratings give me that video I
don't believe this nothing but the most
incredible video I've ever seen

darling I promise you you'll love it
it's that celebrity news show American
Expo say I don't want that bad boy John
we'll watch this everyone knows Rick
stone is America's hottest action hero
but as this macho act you're about to
become Hollywood's newest sex star it
sure seems that way and here's the proof
our camera recorded this exclusive
footage of Rick with his latest leading
lady Stephanie Roberts but this isn't a
scene from Rick's new movie lethal
assault this is our private home video
of Rick and Stephanie in the dining room
with her Hollywood love nest but wait if
Stephanie misses Rick stone we're afraid
not looks like a trick stones case one
woman just isn't enough sorry Michelle
you know I always thought that red
where's your color darling
nothing to say there I personally
thought it was one of you more
convincing
I'll sue those bastards
I don't believe this shit well you can
believe this darling
I've already spoken with my lawyer and
under normal circumstances I might get
half of everything but after your little
striptease show just be glad if I did
you keep those little right shorts nice

about there was a gentleman outside your
window today when I was there they found

haven't done a TV interview in five
years now this show just camped outside
your window and shoot six tons first
porno do you know what this means
I haven't even announced my retirement
yet people are going to think I'm being
forced out of the business because of
this
calm down Rick don't do anything to be
sorry for me oh you think I can be any
sorrier than this Michelle's already
contacted a lawyer she wants every damn
dime everything I've ever made look I'll
call you later right now I've got some
business to take care of
Rick Rick talk to me Rick
I promised you guys a follow-up story I
just didn't think it was gonna be this

beautiful co-star and just tell me you

oh yes and we owe it all to mr. stone
good luck huh motherfucking crib

aren't you going to introduce me Rick I
barely recognize your little friend here
all her clothes on just get out of my
way Michelle I don't have time for this
well you better make the time Rick and
you dear I hope you have a nice little
waitressing job lined up
I mean after our divorce Rick won't
exactly be flush you can have the money
Michelle I just want you out of my life
you'll have to excuse me
I forgot to introduce my attorney Rick
this is Bruce Kessler pleased to meet
you mr. stone and I'm sure that the two
of you are gonna make very good friends
let's just go rip these cameras you're
filming everything she's right Rick you
should listen to her at 20 million she's
gonna become the most expensive piece of
ass in history
that does it I'm canceling the release
of lethal assault the Frick stone hands
this way this studio is going to be that
against joking Hollywood do do you
really think that that's the right thing
to do I mean good or bad Rick is
generating millions of dollars of free
publicity if it was my decision I'd open
the picture next week next week
absolutely take advantage of all this
public interest in Rick stone I mean
have you seen the ratings Rick story on
American expose last night had the
highest ratings for that show ever right
now people are glued to their sets
watching him attack that reporter and
now this hey I admit that Rick is out of
control but isn't that what people want
to see America's biggest action hero on
a complete rampage so what do you think
can the movie be ready by next week
editing would have to work day and night
but you sure about this
I have never been more sure of anything
look Rick said he's retiring this may be
your last chance to cash in on a Rick
stone picture and besides maybe between
now and the premiere we might really get
lucky what do you mean can you imagine
the publicity if Rick stone or to kill
someone
mmm-hmm everyone saw how he tried to
attack me today yeah it was up every new
show in the country mm-hmm
this house is as good as mine and all
the money
rick has been a very successful star for
the past five years and now I'm going to
be a very rich one
all right okay okay Bruce all right I'll
see you tomorrow at the office
thank you good night thanks fine
Rick
Rick
I hope you're not so stupid to come back
here you know bruises issued a
restraining order against you today
you'd be insane to come back and try to
do anything to me
you got that Rick thank you
just my imagination
what are you doing here
surprise me my surprise oh I'm not
complaining
huh the TV right now who is this hello
so who was that I don't know they didn't
say just that I should turn on the news
now for what to see that fight outside
the jail again they've been showing that
all day I don't think they're talking
about that how do you know you don't
even know who it was it was probably
that bitch with the TV show you know
what's after 11:00 that she is not even
on now
Stephanie can we just forget this I'm
not going to let those reporters control
our lives I doesn't take a quick look
it'll only take a second Stephanie no I
won't be able to sleep till I know what
it is the body of Michelle stone wife a
film star Rick stone was discovered in
her Beverly Hills mansion this evening
police investigated after a neighbor
heard gunshots near their 2
million-dollar mansion
upon entering police discovered her body
an apparent shooting victim police are
now searching for Rick stone for
questioning but do not admit to whether
he is a suspect in his wife's murder
I don't believe this she's dead she's
really dead it means we can keep all the
money somebody just made our life a lot
easier
somebody Brooke you just came over a
half hour ago when you talked to the
police they're gonna want to know where
you were on the night I was right here
with you if they asked that's what
you'll tell them right of course that's
what you want that's exactly what I want
no but we both know that you weren't
here all night so we're leaving where
was I
Stephanie do you think I had anything to
do with that I mean I am I hate her I
admit it but no I didn't kill her so
where were you I was driving around just
thinking things out just just driving
yeah I understand but that's not the
sort of thing the police are going to
want to hear they will want a
second-by-second breakdown of every stop
I made every Street I drove down that's
why it's better for both of us if we
just stick to our little story agreed
that's what you want I just want us to
be together like you said somebody just
made my life a whole lot easier and a
lot richer
that's my girl it's that bitch what Dana
field that should have known she would
be there I'm here with the woman who's
been in the center of the Rick stone
story
Dana fields from TVs favorite tabloid
show American expose American expose is
not a tabloid show we just have all the
stories everyone else which is the head
first don't believe that bitch can we
assume that you here to film another
story on on Rick well you can just tune
in tomorrow and find out that's when I'm
gonna reveal the name of Michelle stones
real killer do you really think she
knows who murdered your wife of course
not but it's obvious what she's planning
to do what's that she's flying on that
show tomorrow and say that I killed
Michelle like why would she do that
what are these assholes on TV do
anything for ratings if she can convince
the country that I killed Michelle
she'll have a TV event of the year and
best of all she think she'll be able to
destroy me in the process maybe you
should call the police right now
tell them you had nothing to do with
Michelle's
oh I'll call the police all right to
report another murder Dana feels Rick
promise me you won't if that bitch wants
to take me down she's coming along for
the ride
Benefield will not do that show tomorrow
that's a problem
so how do we view tonight
footage we got to give us the whole show
- oh and we can replay all the other
footage - Rick stones
afternoon delight with blonde mistress
Rick stones strangling via four reporter
oh and let us not forget Rick star the
Saltine frightened away only hours
before they find a blood-stained corpse
in their Beverly Hills mansion you
should be a woman to pay better than
this honey
Rick stones gardener makes more than you
do okay you're not okay but when CBS
offers you Connie Chung shot just
promise you won't forget me yeah daddy
Adam
Adam come on dude we gotta get this tape
down to the station going somewhere Let
Go with me what'd you do to Adam Hipp be
alright I just put a bump on his head
but a hell of a lot worse it's gonna
happen to you if you don't behave now is
that his camera yeah alright get the
tape out of it and give it to me now
you know I think this is some of Adams
best work oh I hope that doesn't spoil
your little TV show for tomorrow night
the one where you planned to announce my
wife's killer that show will be on
tomorrow night with or without that tape
yeah well I know one thing for sure
it'll have to go on without you what
what do you mean what I mean is that you
and I are going to make our own little
video you're going to admit that you
provoked that little fight at that
station and you're going to tell those
20 million viewers of yours that I had
absolutely nothing to do with Michelle's
death I don't know that it's the truth
Stephanie can verify that I was at her
house all night
I guess that changes your little
announcement doesn't it my announcement
yeah you were going on TV tomorrow and
say that I killed Michelle weren't you
you thought you had it all figured out I
didn't know what I was gonna say that
was just bait to get people to watch the
show I thought yeah what did you think I
thought maybe the police would charge
you with something tomorrow I mean come
on who stands to benefit more from
Michelle's death than you she was ready
to divorce you and see you for
everything you're worth
not anymore
not anymore
I know you people are working day and
night to get this new Rick stone movie
finished but I think it'll be worth it
you know the public can't seem to get
enough for brick and we're the studio in
his new movie Ross can I speak to you
for a minute sure what is it excuse me
do you remember yesterday when I said
only one thing would make the debut of
lethal assault any bigger I remember you
said the way the press is eating Rick
alive may actually help the picture
that's why I've got everyone busting
their ass to get this movie ready on
time and I said the only way lethal
assault could possibly open any bigger
would be the Rick killed somebody not
that he isn't trying looks like he tried
again with his wife you mean Michelle he
tried to kill Michelle
how is she she isn't let me show you
something following the brutal murder of
Michelle stone a Los Angeles police
spokesman announced that Rick stone the
victims film star husband is being
sought for questioning regarding his
wife's murder and an anonymous
Department insider tells us that Rick
stone is in fact the primary suspect in
his wife's murder well I don't believe
this he did it the son of a bitch
actually killed his wife sure looks that
way earlier yesterday stone was
videotaped outside the LA County Jail as
he attempted to assault his wife just
hours before she was brutally slain in
her Beverly Hills mansion so how many
theaters will be playing lethal assault
next week a little over a thousand
better make that two thousand
don't you think this is a little over
the top would you be quiet I'm almost
ready all right now I want you to look
in the camera and say that I am NOT
Michelle's murderer
look you attacked my cameraman you tie
me up and kidnap me and now you expect
me to do your little private video I
don't think so and I think we're not
going anywhere until you look into this
camera and tell all of those nice people
that watch your piece-of-shit show that
I am NOT Michelle's killer look even if
I do this stupid little video of yours
nobody's gonna believe me look at me
they're gonna know you're forcing me to
say it good try but I'm only shooting
your face now are you ready for take one
I just don't believe this okay okay all
right so you're my director how would
you like me to look would you like me to
be happy oh look everybody I'm on TV
oh this is just the most exciting thing
that's ever happened I'd like to say hi
to my mom and my brother Josh and oh
let's not forget my little dog Lulu can
we do this okay all right this is it
okay I'm here to say that a terrible
wrong has been done to one of
Hollywood's brightest stars I'm talking
about mr. Rick stone a very special man
who has been accused of a terrible crime
well folks I'm here tonight to tell you
that mr. stone is absolutely 100% guilty
the man's a maniac it he wants to kill
me next
Dana come back
Dayna
my god that truck killed me you saved my
life like I said I'm not a murderer boy
you ever appreciate a little something
like blood circulation until you lose it
you know this whole thing is just a big
mistake you're welcome to go anytime you
want I should probably turn myself in to
the police now
but you think whoever killed your wife
is still out there I know they are don't
you want to find out who did it
hey this is just a movie prop I'm no
detective yeah but I bet together we can
both find out the truth behind this
thing you and me working together I
don't believe I'm hearing this
excuse me aren't you the person that's
been trying to ruin my life look I'll
admit at first I thought you killed her
but now I'm not so sure you killed your
wife that's what I've been trying to
tell you would you be willing to go out
American expose with me tomorrow night
if we can convince the public that
you're innocent then we can demand that
the police start looking for the real
killer this isn't some kind of trick if
we can convince them that somebody else
killed your wife don't forget about all
that other stuff and well you can have
your life back okay I'm probably crazy
but I'm going to trust you I'll go on
that show with you tomorrow great I
promise you won't be disappointed I've
checked with all the media TV newspapers
magazines we're going to have absolutely
maximum publicity for the premiere Ross
I know
and with everyone convinced that Rick
killed his wife I think we have the
movie of the year on our hands we may
have bad you know on one hand I hope
Rick really didn't do it but if someone
else did kill his wife I just hope to
god they stay out of sight till after
the premiere
oh I'll talk to you soon drops bye-bye
hello hi Julie that's what you're the
last person I expected to hear from
besides I thought she fired me
not that it matters I'm working for Ross
now look I know the police are looking
for me I just wanted you and Ross to
know that I had nothing to do with
Michelle's death are you sure about that
Rick I mean with her dad you can have
the house and all the money and all this
publicity isn't going to hurt the
opening of your movie either I mean
whatever you're up to it this is turning
out to be the greatest publicity stunt
in film history
look just watch American expose tonight
I'm telling the whole country that I am
innocent
that's not so smart Rick why don't you
wait until after the premiere I mean as
long as everyone thinks that you killed
your life we have potentially the
biggest movie of the year on our hands
you know I ruin that do you wreck so
that's what this is all about money
you'd rather sit my ass in jail if you
thought you could sell a few more
tickets business is business
you said this was your last movie well
Ross and I just plan to make the most of
it Julie bye bye sweetie
we could have had a wreck Rick I'm sorry
I was just rushing over here to see you
do you know the police are looking for
you have they been here already they
called I had a promise that I'd like to
know if I saw you well a good girl
always keeps her word maybe I'm not a
good thing
I was worried about you last night Rick
you said you to look for that reporter
than on TV they said she was missing hey
nothing happened all right I was just
blowing off some steam
Dana Fields is very much alive and well
I don't think you saw after all she
wants me to go on her show tonight so
that I can say on TV that I'm innocent
sounds like a trap Rick besides that
show has already tried to ruin both of
us I'm not gonna forget what they did to
me half of this country has seen me
naked and the other half probably wishes
they had you think that's funny
hey I'm sorry but listen I need you with
me tonight for that interview you're my
only alibi you can tell everyone that I
was here with you all night
you weren't here with me don't forget
that Rick you weren't here with me all
last night what are you trying to say
that I killed Michelle after all this
time you still don't trust me it's that
it you have no right to talk to me like
that I could have turned you in to the
police by now then why don't you
everyone else is trying to destroy me
you might as well join them Rick
look I'll be at the station if you
change your mind
has anyone seen mr. stove with one the
air in 30 minutes Rick where hasn't been
it's almost time are you sure this is a
good idea do the police know I'm here no
no this is very hush-hush you're gonna
be a surprise guest I thought you were
bringing Stephanie I told her about the
show but she didn't go for it she she
thinks it's some kind of a trap but you
getting like one of the cameras and
really ripped me apart all right all
right anyway listen we go in the air in
20 minutes come on I've got to get you
into makeup
tonight an American expose exclusive
Rick stone fights back
since the shocking death of his wife mr.
stone has been sought by Los Angeles
police officers for questioning it has
been said by police insiders that mr.
stone himself is the focus of their
investigation but amid all the
speculation that he killed his wife mr.
stone is here with us this evening to
make a rare television appearance to
tell us his side of this tragic story
Rick welcome to American expose thank
you I understand you have something that
you'd like to say to our viewers yes
that's right I realized that a lot of
people may have formed an opinion about
me that they're convinced that I had
something to do with my wife's death I
just want to say to everyone that I know
I wasn't the perfect husband but I did
not kill my wife what does he think he's
doing he's lying Rick is there anyone
out there that can verify your innocence
anyone at all that can say where you
were at the time of your wife's death
yes there is Stephanie Roberts was with
me for the entire evening of my wife's
death I only left Stephanie's house
after I heard about Michelle's murder I
would urge the Los Angeles police to ask
Stephanie about my whereabouts that
evening and then go out and look for my
wife's real killer
so what's the verdict Oh see Thank You
Julie
I hope of Rick you're not gonna believe
this our switchboards are flooded with
calls and they're all overwhelmingly in
your favor you mean it worked yes they
believed you I didn't see it with my own
eyes I wouldn't believe it
maybe now the police will start looking
for the real killer I'm sure they will
hey I've got a bottle of champagne in my
dressing room
miRNA celebrate you're not afraid to be
alone with me I mean listen I'm a wanted
man yeah I think I'll be all right come
on do you think anyone's gonna believe
him I told him not to do anything until
after the premiere yeah well since when
does Rick stone take other people's
advice so what do you think could you
really be innocent you know Rick as well
as I do Ross if anybody's capable of
murder he is
Wow I guess this must be one of the
first we have intended to start a
reporter yeah
don't forget which story made you start
a reporter you know open up one of these
things yeah let me help you out
did I ever apologize for that little
scuffle we had oh you mean this little
scuffle well I guess I wasn't being the
nicest person in the world either hey
you know Adam comes back to work
tomorrow he might want to thank you for
his little paid vacation mm-hmm

Suzie homemaker
well what about Stephanie had that she
was taking care of me I did too but you

of strange lately we had a major blowout
this afternoon somehow she still seems
to think that I had something to do with
my wife's murder I'm calling about Rick
stones appearance on that TV show of
American expose I want the police to
know that Rick stone was not with me the
entire evening of his wife's murder
he was lying when he said I could verify
that mr. stone arrived at my house a
little before midnight and when I asked
him where he'd been
he became defensive and angry with me I
just want the police to know the truth
and if you're looking for mr. stone
there's a good chance he's with Dana
fields
now we can just convince the police
right now
I can't believe I'm in bed with
America's Most Wanted man there's
nowhere I'd rather be

connection with her shooting death

this evening that disputes stone's alibi
that he was in the company of Stephanie

Roberts herself at the moment police
have failed to apprehend Rick stone and

armed and dangerous this is it we've got

record audiences turned out nationwide
this weekend for the debut of lethal
assault the next film for action
superstar Rick stone and joining me in
the studio today is the action-packed
hero himself now I've got to ask you
this question everybody is wanting to
know we hear that you're retiring from
the film business is this true
I was considering retiring from
Hollywood after this film but my
producer Ross Jacobs and I talked it
over and we feel that the events that
have taken place in my life over the
past couple of weeks would be a great
subject for a new movie and you're of
course talking about the very
unfortunate murder of your beautiful
wife and the fact that for a very short
period of time you were considered the
main suspect in her murder
is that right yes and fortunately you
are completely cleared of that as all
your fans know is there anything else
that you might like to add before we go
just one thing my new movie will have a
special dedication it's for someone
that's very important to me that won't
be able to see it for someone that's
missed very much for Dana
you
I think we have another winner people
absolutely I think this movie's going to
be huge we're looking at a 20 million
opening weekend minimum have we settled
on a name yet
lethal assault how do you like it leave
the park is my idea
lethal assault that's perfect the
perfect name for my last picture what
this is no time to be joking Rick this
studio has 30 million investors in this
picture and we're counting on you for
sequel there's not going to be a sequel
Ross like I said this is my last picture
as of now Rick stone is retired retired
have you looked at your contract you're
committed to do a sequel least assault
isn't just another action picture it's
gonna be a franchise with merchandising
that works and you're part of it you
can't just walk out on me Rick you're
the biggest action star in Hollywood
you'd have to be insane to walk away
from that no amount of money is worth
living under a microscope it's not as
easy as that Rick we've got hundreds of
people in this studio
actors directors technicians they count
on Rick stone pictures for a living the
studio made money before I came along
don't worry Ross you'll find another
golden boy
wait a minute Rick I'm beginning to see
your point and I think what you're doing
is brilliant
you double-crossing bitch you're going
to encourage you no no don't you see
this is genius
Rick announces his retirement and then
his last movie lethal assault does
absolutely huge business very bigger
than Jurassic Park and then one year
from today we announce that after
careful consideration
Rick will return to the screen for
lethal assault ooh and
fans will go crazy what do you think I
think you too can fantasize all you want
I told you I'm finished
Julie I want you to call a press
conference tomorrow and announce my
retirement effective immediately
or what you'll fire me have it your way
you're fired you selfish bastard I have
spent the last five years building you
up from nothing before you work for the
studio even Korman wouldn't hire you
yeah well I hear he needs a new
secretary maybe you should check it out
Julie I've got to take this if you'll
excuse me after the lawsuit I'm planning
you'll beg me to hire you for scale I
love you too Ross
hi Stephanie it's me well I did it I'm a
free man not completely free what about

the last five
not if that bitch's lawyers have their
way they're gonna 1/2 at that 20 million

the only hit Candace Hart ever had was
from a bottle of scotch no one would
care if they did it make it on Sunset
Boulevard look I need a story that that

way that we can fight her as long as

assignment Dana do you even know what an
assignment is it's like when your boss

supposed to do but then I thought to
myself wouldn't J much rather have
exclusive footage of Rick stone Ric
stone she said Rick stone never mind
I'll just run this over to hard copy
instead let's stop being such a very
ELISA let's take a little look at your
big stone video okay oh I don't know
it's nothing much just exclusive footage
of Rick stone with his secret mistress
at least I think it's his mistress Adam
you know Rick his wife looks like don't
you yeah that's definitely not his wife
that's what I thought this has got to be
his mistress and with all the nudity and
groping well I don't know Jake you're
the expert leave something like this
would get ratings give me that video I
don't believe this nothing but the most
incredible video I've ever seen
nobody had nobody has this type of us we
can we can hook this thing for weeks

right he's at history

not even a phone call oh why doesn't
that surprise me
hmm if you're trying to be cute it's not
working
look your new movie was finished two
weeks ago so what did you do all night
darling answer fan mail
just the usual publicity photos real
ooping some dialog the kind of work that
doesn't mix with us oh really
I guess that shows how little I know I
guess it does
I guess it does it's a shame you weren't
here last night darling
you missed a very interesting TV show
really don't worry I taped it for you
Michelle I'm really not in the mood oh
darling I promise you you'll love it
it's that celebrity news show American
Expo say I don't want that bad boy John
we'll watch this everyone knows Rick
stone is America's hottest action hero
but as this macho act you're about to
become Hollywood's newest sex star it
sure seems that way and here's the proof
our camera recorded this exclusive
footage of Rick with his latest leading
lady Stephanie Roberts but this isn't a
scene from Rick's new movie lethal
assault this is our private home video
of Rick and Stephanie in the dining room
with her Hollywood love nest but wait if
Stephanie misses Rick stone we're afraid
not looks like a trick stones case one
woman just isn't enough sorry Michelle
you know I always thought that red
where's your color darling
nothing to say there I personally
thought it was one of you more
convincing
I'll sue those bastards
I don't believe this shit well you can
believe this darling
I've already spoken with my lawyer and
under normal circumstances I might get
half of everything but after your little
striptease show just be glad if I did
you keep those little right shorts nice
high coming back for seconds did you see
it see what Rick what are you talking
about there was a gentleman outside your
window today when I was there they found
us it was on fucking TV wait a second
I was on TV with you naked oh my god
wait Michelle sighs she taped it I
haven't done a TV interview in five
years now this show just camped outside
your window and shoot six tons first
porno do you know what this means
I haven't even announced my retirement
yet people are going to think I'm being
forced out of the business because of
this
calm down Rick don't do anything to be
sorry for me oh you think I can be any
sorrier than this Michelle's already
contacted a lawyer she wants every damn
dime everything I've ever made look I'll
call you later right now I've got some
business to take care of
Rick Rick talk to me Rick
I promised you guys a follow-up story I
just didn't think it was gonna be this
soon yeah well I think Rick has a
beautiful co-star and just tell me you
got all that on tape every second hurry
this is gonna be huge
oh yes and we owe it all to mr. stone
good luck huh motherfucking crib
this is just right first that bitch puts
me on our fucking TV show that damn jail
Stephanie Stephanie
I'll be here mr. stone mr. stone do you
find himself any other reporters today
well well well what an attractive couple
aren't you going to introduce me Rick I
barely recognize your little friend here
all her clothes on just get out of my
way Michelle I don't have time for this
well you better make the time Rick and
you dear I hope you have a nice little
waitressing job lined up
I mean after our divorce Rick won't
exactly be flush you can have the money
Michelle I just want you out of my life
you'll have to excuse me
I forgot to introduce my attorney Rick
this is Bruce Kessler pleased to meet
you mr. stone and I'm sure that the two
of you are gonna make very good friends
let's just go rip these cameras you're
filming everything she's right Rick you
should listen to her at 20 million she's
gonna become the most expensive piece of
ass in history
that does it I'm canceling the release
of lethal assault the Frick stone hands
this way this studio is going to be that
against joking Hollywood do do you
really think that that's the right thing
to do I mean good or bad Rick is
generating millions of dollars of free
publicity if it was my decision I'd open
the picture next week next week
absolutely take advantage of all this
public interest in Rick stone I mean
have you seen the ratings Rick story on
American expose last night had the
highest ratings for that show ever right
now people are glued to their sets
watching him attack that reporter and
now this hey I admit that Rick is out of
control but isn't that what people want
to see America's biggest action hero on
a complete rampage so what do you think
can the movie be ready by next week
editing would have to work day and night
but you sure about this
I have never been more sure of anything
look Rick said he's retiring this may be
your last chance to cash in on a Rick
stone picture and besides maybe between
now and the premiere we might really get
lucky what do you mean can you imagine
the publicity if Rick stone or to kill
someone
mmm-hmm everyone saw how he tried to
attack me today yeah it was up every new
show in the country mm-hmm
this house is as good as mine and all
the money
rick has been a very successful star for
the past five years and now I'm going to
be a very rich one
all right okay okay Bruce all right I'll
see you tomorrow at the office
thank you good night thanks fine
Rick
Rick
I hope you're not so stupid to come back
here you know bruises issued a
restraining order against you today
you'd be insane to come back and try to
do anything to me
you got that Rick thank you
just my imagination
what are you doing here
surprise me my surprise oh I'm not
complaining
huh the TV right now who is this hello
so who was that I don't know they didn't
say just that I should turn on the news
now for what to see that fight outside
the jail again they've been showing that
all day I don't think they're talking
about that how do you know you don't
even know who it was it was probably
that bitch with the TV show you know
what's after 11:00 that she is not even
on now
Stephanie can we just forget this I'm
not going to let those reporters control
our lives I doesn't take a quick look
it'll only take a second Stephanie no I
won't be able to sleep till I know what
it is the body of Michelle stone wife a
film star Rick stone was discovered in
her Beverly Hills mansion this evening
police investigated after a neighbor
heard gunshots near their 2
million-dollar mansion
upon entering police discovered her body
an apparent shooting victim police are
now searching for Rick stone for
questioning but do not admit to whether
he is a suspect in his wife's murder
I don't believe this she's dead she's
really dead it means we can keep all the
money somebody just made our life a lot
easier
somebody Brooke you just came over a
half hour ago when you talked to the
police they're gonna want to know where
you were on the night I was right here
with you if they asked that's what
you'll tell them right of course that's
what you want that's exactly what I want
no but we both know that you weren't
here all night so we're leaving where
was I
Stephanie do you think I had anything to
do with that I mean I am I hate her I
admit it but no I didn't kill her so
where were you I was driving around just
thinking things out just just driving
yeah I understand but that's not the
sort of thing the police are going to
want to hear they will want a
second-by-second breakdown of every stop
I made every Street I drove down that's
why it's better for both of us if we
just stick to our little story agreed
that's what you want I just want us to
be together like you said somebody just
made my life a whole lot easier and a
lot richer
that's my girl it's that bitch what Dana
field that should have known she would
be there I'm here with the woman who's
been in the center of the Rick stone
story
Dana fields from TVs favorite tabloid
show American expose American expose is
not a tabloid show we just have all the
stories everyone else which is the head
first don't believe that bitch can we
assume that you here to film another
story on on Rick well you can just tune
in tomorrow and find out that's when I'm
gonna reveal the name of Michelle stones
real killer do you really think she
knows who murdered your wife of course
not but it's obvious what she's planning
to do what's that she's flying on that
show tomorrow and say that I killed
Michelle like why would she do that
what are these assholes on TV do
anything for ratings if she can convince
the country that I killed Michelle
she'll have a TV event of the year and
best of all she think she'll be able to
destroy me in the process maybe you
should call the police right now
tell them you had nothing to do with
Michelle's
oh I'll call the police all right to
report another murder Dana feels Rick
promise me you won't if that bitch wants
to take me down she's coming along for
the ride
Benefield will not do that show tomorrow
that's a problem
so how do we view tonight
footage we got to give us the whole show
- oh and we can replay all the other
footage - Rick stones
afternoon delight with blonde mistress
Rick stones strangling via four reporter
oh and let us not forget Rick star the
Saltine frightened away only hours
before they find a blood-stained corpse
in their Beverly Hills mansion you
should be a woman to pay better than
this honey
Rick stones gardener makes more than you
do okay you're not okay but when CBS
offers you Connie Chung shot just
promise you won't forget me yeah daddy
Adam
Adam come on dude we gotta get this tape
down to the station going somewhere Let
Go with me what'd you do to Adam Hipp be
alright I just put a bump on his head
but a hell of a lot worse it's gonna
happen to you if you don't behave now is
that his camera yeah alright get the
tape out of it and give it to me now
you know I think this is some of Adams
best work oh I hope that doesn't spoil
your little TV show for tomorrow night
the one where you planned to announce my
wife's killer that show will be on
tomorrow night with or without that tape
yeah well I know one thing for sure
it'll have to go on without you what
what do you mean what I mean is that you
and I are going to make our own little
video you're going to admit that you
provoked that little fight at that
station and you're going to tell those
20 million viewers of yours that I had
absolutely nothing to do with Michelle's
death I don't know that it's the truth
Stephanie can verify that I was at her
house all night
I guess that changes your little
announcement doesn't it my announcement
yeah you were going on TV tomorrow and
say that I killed Michelle weren't you
you thought you had it all figured out I
didn't know what I was gonna say that
was just bait to get people to watch the
show I thought yeah what did you think I
thought maybe the police would charge
you with something tomorrow I mean come
on who stands to benefit more from
Michelle's death than you she was ready
to divorce you and see you for
everything you're worth
not anymore
not anymore
I know you people are working day and
night to get this new Rick stone movie
finished but I think it'll be worth it
you know the public can't seem to get
enough for brick and we're the studio in
his new movie Ross can I speak to you
for a minute sure what is it excuse me
do you remember yesterday when I said
only one thing would make the debut of
lethal assault any bigger I remember you
said the way the press is eating Rick
alive may actually help the picture
that's why I've got everyone busting
their ass to get this movie ready on
time and I said the only way lethal
assault could possibly open any bigger
would be the Rick killed somebody not
that he isn't trying looks like he tried
again with his wife you mean Michelle he
tried to kill Michelle
how is she she isn't let me show you
something following the brutal murder of
Michelle stone a Los Angeles police
spokesman announced that Rick stone the
victims film star husband is being
sought for questioning regarding his
wife's murder and an anonymous
Department insider tells us that Rick
stone is in fact the primary suspect in
his wife's murder well I don't believe
this he did it the son of a bitch
actually killed his wife sure looks that
way earlier yesterday stone was
videotaped outside the LA County Jail as
he attempted to assault his wife just
hours before she was brutally slain in
her Beverly Hills mansion so how many
theaters will be playing lethal assault
next week a little over a thousand
better make that two thousand
don't you think this is a little over
the top would you be quiet I'm almost
ready all right now I want you to look
in the camera and say that I am NOT
Michelle's murderer
look you attacked my cameraman you tie
me up and kidnap me and now you expect
me to do your little private video I
don't think so and I think we're not
going anywhere until you look into this
camera and tell all of those nice people
that watch your piece-of-shit show that
I am NOT Michelle's killer look even if
I do this stupid little video of yours
nobody's gonna believe me look at me
they're gonna know you're forcing me to
say it good try but I'm only shooting
your face now are you ready for take one
I just don't believe this okay okay all
right so you're my director how would
you like me to look would you like me to
be happy oh look everybody I'm on TV
oh this is just the most exciting thing
that's ever happened I'd like to say hi
to my mom and my brother Josh and oh
let's not forget my little dog Lulu can
we do this okay all right this is it
okay I'm here to say that a terrible
wrong has been done to one of
Hollywood's brightest stars I'm talking
about mr. Rick stone a very special man
who has been accused of a terrible crime
well folks I'm here tonight to tell you
that mr. stone is absolutely 100% guilty
the man's a maniac it he wants to kill
me next
Dana come back
Dayna
my god that truck killed me you saved my
life like I said I'm not a murderer boy
you ever appreciate a little something
like blood circulation until you lose it
you know this whole thing is just a big
mistake you're welcome to go anytime you
want I should probably turn myself in to
the police now
but you think whoever killed your wife
is still out there I know they are don't
you want to find out who did it
hey this is just a movie prop I'm no
detective yeah but I bet together we can
both find out the truth behind this
thing you and me working together I
don't believe I'm hearing this
excuse me aren't you the person that's
been trying to ruin my life look I'll
admit at first I thought you killed her
but now I'm not so sure you killed your
wife that's what I've been trying to
tell you would you be willing to go out
American expose with me tomorrow night
if we can convince the public that
you're innocent then we can demand that
the police start looking for the real
killer this isn't some kind of trick if
we can convince them that somebody else
killed your wife don't forget about all
that other stuff and well you can have
your life back okay I'm probably crazy
but I'm going to trust you I'll go on
that show with you tomorrow great I
promise you won't be disappointed I've
checked with all the media TV newspapers
magazines we're going to have absolutely
maximum publicity for the premiere Ross
I know
and with everyone convinced that Rick
killed his wife I think we have the
movie of the year on our hands we may
have bad you know on one hand I hope
Rick really didn't do it but if someone
else did kill his wife I just hope to
god they stay out of sight till after
the premiere
oh I'll talk to you soon drops bye-bye
hello hi Julie that's what you're the
last person I expected to hear from
besides I thought she fired me
not that it matters I'm working for Ross
now look I know the police are looking
for me I just wanted you and Ross to
know that I had nothing to do with
Michelle's death are you sure about that
Rick I mean with her dad you can have
the house and all the money and all this
publicity isn't going to hurt the
opening of your movie either I mean
whatever you're up to it this is turning
out to be the greatest publicity stunt
in film history
look just watch American expose tonight
I'm telling the whole country that I am
innocent
that's not so smart Rick why don't you
wait until after the premiere I mean as
long as everyone thinks that you killed
your life we have potentially the
biggest movie of the year on our hands
you know I ruin that do you wreck so
that's what this is all about money
you'd rather sit my ass in jail if you
thought you could sell a few more
tickets business is business
you said this was your last movie well
Ross and I just plan to make the most of
it Julie bye bye sweetie
we could have had a wreck Rick I'm sorry
I was just rushing over here to see you
do you know the police are looking for
you have they been here already they
called I had a promise that I'd like to
know if I saw you well a good girl
always keeps her word maybe I'm not a
good thing
I was worried about you last night Rick
you said you to look for that reporter
than on TV they said she was missing hey
nothing happened all right I was just
blowing off some steam
Dana Fields is very much alive and well
I don't think you saw after all she
wants me to go on her show tonight so
that I can say on TV that I'm innocent
sounds like a trap Rick besides that
show has already tried to ruin both of
us I'm not gonna forget what they did to
me half of this country has seen me
naked and the other half probably wishes
they had you think that's funny
hey I'm sorry but listen I need you with
me tonight for that interview you're my
only alibi you can tell everyone that I
was here with you all night
you weren't here with me don't forget
that Rick you weren't here with me all
last night what are you trying to say
that I killed Michelle after all this
time you still don't trust me it's that
it you have no right to talk to me like
that I could have turned you in to the
police by now then why don't you
everyone else is trying to destroy me
you might as well join them Rick
look I'll be at the station if you
change your mind
has anyone seen mr. stove with one the
air in 30 minutes Rick where hasn't been
it's almost time are you sure this is a
good idea do the police know I'm here no
no this is very hush-hush you're gonna
be a surprise guest I thought you were
bringing Stephanie I told her about the
show but she didn't go for it she she
thinks it's some kind of a trap but you
getting like one of the cameras and
really ripped me apart all right all
right anyway listen we go in the air in
20 minutes come on I've got to get you
into makeup
tonight an American expose exclusive
Rick stone fights back
since the shocking death of his wife mr.
stone has been sought by Los Angeles
police officers for questioning it has
been said by police insiders that mr.
stone himself is the focus of their
investigation but amid all the
speculation that he killed his wife mr.
stone is here with us this evening to
make a rare television appearance to
tell us his side of this tragic story
Rick welcome to American expose thank
you I understand you have something that
you'd like to say to our viewers yes
that's right I realized that a lot of
people may have formed an opinion about
me that they're convinced that I had
something to do with my wife's death I
just want to say to everyone that I know
I wasn't the perfect husband but I did
not kill my wife what does he think he's
doing he's lying Rick is there anyone
out there that can verify your innocence
anyone at all that can say where you
were at the time of your wife's death
yes there is Stephanie Roberts was with
me for the entire evening of my wife's
death I only left Stephanie's house
after I heard about Michelle's murder I
would urge the Los Angeles police to ask
Stephanie about my whereabouts that
evening and then go out and look for my
wife's real killer
so what's the verdict Oh see Thank You
Julie
I hope of Rick you're not gonna believe
this our switchboards are flooded with
calls and they're all overwhelmingly in
your favor you mean it worked yes they
believed you I didn't see it with my own
eyes I wouldn't believe it
maybe now the police will start looking
for the real killer I'm sure they will
hey I've got a bottle of champagne in my
dressing room
miRNA celebrate you're not afraid to be
alone with me I mean listen I'm a wanted
man yeah I think I'll be all right come
on do you think anyone's gonna believe
him I told him not to do anything until
after the premiere yeah well since when
does Rick stone take other people's
advice so what do you think could you
really be innocent you know Rick as well
as I do Ross if anybody's capable of
murder he is
Wow I guess this must be one of the
first we have intended to start a
reporter yeah
don't forget which story made you start
a reporter you know open up one of these
things yeah let me help you out
did I ever apologize for that little
scuffle we had oh you mean this little
scuffle well I guess I wasn't being the
nicest person in the world either hey
you know Adam comes back to work
tomorrow he might want to thank you for
his little paid vacation mm-hmm

asshole yeah I guess you have but if you
can get that bottle open for me I just
might be willing to forgive you folks oh

excuse me this is the studio where they
film Eric expose isn't it is Rick stone
still here thank you
do the pay phone I can use
hello police this is Stephanie Roberts I
need to speak with the officer in charge
of Michelle Stone's murder investigation
delicious you'd be surprised
some of the catering all those movie
sets aren't so hot and my wife is never
Suzie homemaker
well what about Stephanie had that she
was taking care of me I did too but you
know I don't know she's been acting sort
of strange lately we had a major blowout
this afternoon somehow she still seems
to think that I had something to do with
my wife's murder I'm calling about Rick
stones appearance on that TV show of
American expose I want the police to
know that Rick stone was not with me the
entire evening of his wife's murder
he was lying when he said I could verify
that mr. stone arrived at my house a
little before midnight and when I asked
him where he'd been
he became defensive and angry with me I
just want the police to know the truth
and if you're looking for mr. stone
there's a good chance he's with Dana
fields
now we can just convince the police
right now
I can't believe I'm in bed with
America's Most Wanted man there's
nowhere I'd rather be
hey how about a drink hmm
room service I think I could get used to
this I've got a couple beers is that
okay
Rick Rick Rick can you hear me sorry
so he's good-looking he's famous you
just hooked up with that Greg

difference to you I'm serious Ross get

record audiences turned out nationwide
this weekend for the debut of lethal
assault the next film for action
superstar Rick stone and joining me in
the studio today is the action-packed
hero himself now I've got to ask you
this question everybody is wanting to
know we hear that you're retiring from
the film business is this true
I was considering retiring from
Hollywood after this film but my
producer Ross Jacobs and I talked it
over and we feel that the events that
have taken place in my life over the
past couple of weeks would be a great
subject for a new movie and you're of
course talking about the very
unfortunate murder of your beautiful
wife and the fact that for a very short
period of time you were considered the
main suspect in her murder
is that right yes and fortunately you
are completely cleared of that as all
your fans know is there anything else
that you might like to add before we go
just one thing my new movie will have a
special dedication it's for someone
that's very important to me that won't
be able to see it for someone that's
missed very much for Dana
you
