Staged Killer (2019) - full transcript

- Alright, everybody

give it up for the

Flying Komplowsky

Brothers, alright.

- Yeah, thank you guys very

much. Thank you so much.

- Alright, joining us

now here on Campus Cool

we have got your MVP of

Saturday night's game.

Everyone please help me



welcome your star quarterback,

Cole Smith!

Come on up here,

Cole, all right.

- Get on up here.

- Cole!

- Hi, Cole, thank

you for joining us.

I'm sure everyone wants to know

what we can expect

for the next game.

- Well, Naomi, I'd

kind of like to know

what you think our



strategy should be?

- Well, I think

if they just focus

on that rocket

right arm of yours--

- Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Ugh, technical difficulty.

- What?

- Until next time!

- Soar, Eagles, soar!

Alright, thanks Cole.

- I'm sorry.

- Nah, that's okay, thank you.

- Well, another great

show for the dynamic duo

minus, you know, the

technical stuff there.

- Yeah, listen, Naomi...

I was hoping maybe

tonight we could...

- Come on, let's grab a beer.

- Okay.

- It's been what, two weeks

since we broke up and you've

already moved on?

- Lana, can we talk about this

outside--

- No, never touch me again!

Ever!

- Alright, and we are back.

So before the break,

Olivia, you were saying that

this new soft baby carrier

is perfect for the

working mom on the go.

- Yes, that's right Naomi.

As you can see it's very durable

and adjustable making it perfect

for the mom on the go.

So you can get all

your errands done

and not neglect your baby.

- Huh, I love it.

- I don't know, Naomi, that

looks pretty good on you.

Maybe it's time for you and

that perfect husband of yours,

Trent, to have a little

baby of your own, huh?

- Okay, okay.

Yeah, well, right now my

mornings are a little full

with you already Robert.

So let's just leave

it there for now.

Okay.

Alright, you guys that's

our show for today.

See you guys tomorrow.

Morning Naomi

- I thought you did great.

- Good show guys, good show.

Not great, but good.

Yeah, I just got off a

call from the network,

and TW Studios, our

biggest competition, has

once again, surpassed us in

our new targeted demographic.

As you know it is

a copycat industry,

so I am coming to the

two of you for any ideas

on how to bring us to

fresh eyes, new households?

- We'll give it some thought.

- Great, we'll

circle back to that.

- Cool.

- Guess we're not

trending like we used to be.

- Yeah, I guess, we just gotta

be a little more current.

Like I would currently

kill for a cup of coffee,

but I'm off to my

cardiologist, so thank you.

- Bye.

- Well, now that

I've done my duty

as the mean boss for the day,

how about lunch

with your bestie?

- I can't actually Trent

is stopping by the studio.

He's downtown for

his big presentation.

Today is the day.

- Oh, that's right.

Well, in this case

congratulations in advance

because I know he

got the project.

- Thanks, I'll call you after.

- Yes, okay.

- Okay.

Bye, guys.

- Alright.

- Bye.

- Love you Naomi.

- Is that one I picked out?

- Yes, it is.

- Ah, I thought so.

I could really get used

to my husband coming to

visit me at work in

the middle of the day.

- Really, well, how

about the next year?

- You got the job.

- Hmm-mm.

You're now looking at the

lead architect of what

the mayor has called the

city's defining development.

- Babe, oh, that is amazing.

I guess, all those months

practicing your presentation

fresh out of the shower

nothing but a towel

actually paid off.

- I guess they have.

I'm just glad I

remembered to wear a suit.

- Well, it's probably

best you did.

But I'm gonna miss

our practice sessions.

- Oh, so am I.

- That's amazing, babe.

You worked so hard.

- We worked hard

we're a team remember?

- Yes.

- Speaking of working

hard, how's the show?

- Good, we had Olivia

on again today.

- Okay, and?

- And there are a

lot of great products

out there for the

working parent.

- And the non-working parent?

- What do you mean?

- Well, with this job I'm

gonna be making a lot of money

and enough to

support both of us,

so if you were

considering taking off

the next couple of

years to focus on,

you know, building our family,

now might be the right time.

- Well, we did always say we

knew that time would come.

- Hmm-mm.

- But I just can't picture

my life without the show.

- Well, maybe you don't have to.

It is geared towards

working moms, right?

- Yeah, I mean, maybe I would

connect more with my audience

if I was an actual working mom.

- Well, think about it

just know that I am here,

and I'm gonna support

anything for our team.

Okay.

- I mean, our

announcement would be

quite the on-air announcement.

- Hmm-mm.

- And it would help us

in the targeted demos.

You know what I'm gonna

figure all that out later.

Right now it is all

about my handsome,

very successful husband.

Let's go celebrate.

- Let's go, come on.

- Hi, there.

I was hoping to make an

appointment with Mrs. Spinner.

- Oh, you'll have to see

the show secretary for that.

I just open and close the gate.

- Right.

How's that coffee?

- Best in the city.

It's right down the street.

Naomi brings me one every day.

- Oh, I'll have to

try it sometime.

You have a good day.

- Before you go

calling some hot-shot

attorney to challenge

this decision,

here's a generous

severance check

to keep your head above water.

Please, have your

dressing room cleared out

by the end of the day.

- Hi, two regulars, please.

Just keep the change.

Thank you.

- Naomi Brown.

- Jake Everett.

- Wow.

Wow, what are the odds?

- I mean, what it's been

like 10 years or something.

- Yeah, and it's Naomi

Spinner now, right?

- That is right.

- Oh, congratulations.

- Thank you.

- I guess, it's kind of

impossible not to hear

about what's going on

with people these days.

- Yeah, the last I heard

you were in Florida.

- I was, but now I'm here.

I've actually caught your

show every day I've been here,

which is twice now.

- Okay.

- You've come along

way from Campus Cool.

- Oh, yeah, wow, those

were some fun times.

- Yeah, you

still remember?

- Of course, you

were the first one

to ever get me up on the stage.

Taught me everything I know.

- Oh, nah, you were a

natural and so pretty.

- Awe, are you still hosting?

- I am, yeah, I had a

great job down in Florida,

but I felt creatively stifled.

I need something

fresh, so I came here.

I'm actually looking to set up

hosting job

interviews in the area

if you know anybody

who's looking?

- Oh, well, I'm

sorry Robert and I--

- Not you

and Robert, no, no.

You and Robert I see

your faces all over town.

- Well, you know what we

should exchange emails,

and that way keep in touch

if I hear of anything.

- Oh, I can do you

one better.

All my contact info is on there.

- Oh, professional I

remember that about you.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Well, it was so

great running into you.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Bye.

- Oh, Naomi.

- Yeah.

- Soar Eagles.

- Soar!

- Soar!

- Good one, babe.

That was a strong 10 today

last sprint was great.

Good.

- You're gonna kill me.

- Good work, good work.

- Thank you.

- That was good.

- Oh, my god, I'm

gonna get in the water.

- And I'm gonna

go get some water.

- Oh, I forget to tell

you who I ran into today.

- Who?

- You remember that

guy I told you about

from along time ago Jake?

- Jake, Jake, Jake,

Jake, Jake, Jake.

The guy from the gig

at the college, yeah.

Yeah, the one they

charged with murder.

- He was never actually charged.

He was the lead suspect.

- Not charged, lead suspect

it all sounds a little

suspicious to me.

I bet you he wasn't the

most popular guy on campus.

- Well, he was cleared, but

by then the damage was done.

And then he wanted

to continue the show,

but I was hesitant because

of everything that happened.

You know, I could

tell it hurt him,

and then the next thing

I knew he was gone.

Anyway, he seems to

be doing great now.

He just moved back to try and

break into the bigger market

and he needs a job.

- Yeah, well, good.

Why don't you give

Scarlet a call.

Maybe she could help him out.

- That's a good idea.

I do feel like I still

owe him, you know.

- I mean as long as.

- What?

- Well, you don't believe

that he really did

what they accused him of, right?

- Babe, no, I don't.

- Okay, good give

Scarlet a call.

- So I think that bit worked.

- I think, it was great the way

she rolled with the audience.

- Well, you know, it's a topic

that our whole audience--

- Another great show, guys.

You have a visitor.

- Hey, I'm so glad

you can make it.

- Of course, thanks

for having me.

- The old Campus Cool

duo back together.

- Yeah, I told her

how we go way back.

- Yeah, Robert, better

watch out, right?

- Watch out for what?

- Robert, Scarlet this is an

old friend of mine Jake Everett.

He just moved here from Florida.

He was a host at the

Sunshine Network.

- It's very nice

to meet you, Jake.

- Oh, I told Jake that he

should stop by the studio,

and I thought it would be

good for you two to meet.

- Please.

Oh.

Wow, you're

definitely qualified.

- Yeah.

Well, it's...

Definitely nice

meeting you, Jake.

I got some egg whites to eat

right now, and I gotta run.

- Don't make light

of this, Robert,

and don't forget

about your shake.

- Hey, she's right.

- Yeah, two green

shakes a day, no coffee,

actually no

stimulates whatsoever,

yep, my life has become

completely boring.

- You got this.

- Thank you.

Abby, you got a sec I

wanna run something by you.

- Yeah, sure, let's do it.

- Great show.

- Uh, Jake, I would

love to show you around.

Give you a little tour.

- Great.

Hey, I made you something.

- Oh.

- Hey, Jake, let's go.

Your good looks will only

buy you so much time.

- It's amazing.

You think I could swing by

tomorrow, catch a live taping?

- Oh, definitely

just ask for me.

Oh, this is the network

I gotta take this.

You know your way out?

- Yep, I think I can manage.

- Oh, great.

Yeah, this is Scarlet.

- So, Abby, what

were you saying?

- Well, Quick Snap Live

is the most popular

streaming platform

my generation uses,

so this is it.

- Oh, wow.

Yeah, no, this is exactly

What Scarlet's been

talkin' about we need.

I'm gonna bring this up in

tomorrow's preshow meeting.

- Okay, awesome,

it's really interactive,

so it gets the audience

involved, in what we're doing,

which, I think, is

really gonna help us.

- Until next time.

- Soar, Eagles, soar.

- All right.

- Such great chemistry.

- Yeah, it was fun.

I mean, if you block

out the boot cut jeans

and totally dated tube top.

- Well, I'm not exactly

looking at the wardrobe

if you know what I mean.

- Yeah, I noticed.

- He's coming to the

live taping tomorrow.

- I saw you and Jake had

some of your own chemistry.

You know, I have a feeling

Jake coming to town

is going to be great

for both of us.

- I agree.

- Hi, I feel so stupid.

I think, I left my folder

in the makeup room.

- Well, no one is really

in there at this time.

But go ahead, Mr. Everett.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

- Two more.

Let's get this over with.

- Oh, my god, Robert.

Abby, Scarlet!

Help!

Hurry it's Robert!

- What's wrong?

- Call an ambulance hurry!

- Oh, my god.

- Robert, oh, my god.

I don't know what to do, hurry.

- We have an emergency

at Live City Studios.

I think, he's having

a heart attack.

- Hurry!

We have to go with

him to the hospital.

- We can't.

- What happened?

- Robert had a heart attack.

- What.

- Alright, everyone, listen up.

I know this is a sad time,

and we are all deeply worried

about our family member Robert.

But we have to pull

ourselves together.

We still have a show

we need to focus on.

- We're going on?

- Yes, the show must go on.

- I don't know how I'm gonna

be able to tell our audience.

- You won't.

The live audience doesn't

arrive for another 20 minutes.

No one knows about this yet.

We are not in a position

with the network

to lose a host, not to

mention, we are live,

meaning there's no preemptive

programming available.

- So I'm supposed to go

on like nothing happened.

- Just for today until we

can figure everything out.

Alright, guys, that's the plan.

Let's get back to work.

- You got this.

- He didn't look good, Jake.

- Well, there's nothing you

can do about that right now.

Like Scarlet said

the show must go on.

Do I have to drag

you up there on stage

like I did the first time?

You'll do great.

I am gonna go.

Today is not a good

day to be in the way.

- No, don't go.

Please, I want you here.

- Well, then I will

be whatever you need.

- Thank you.

- Lights on camera three please.

- And we're live

in three, two, one.

- Good morning, and thank you

for spending your

mornings with...

- Naomi and Robert.

- Okay, obviously, I

am a man down today.

Unfortunately, my

ever-present cohost

is feeling under

the weather today.

But that's okay.

We still have a really

great show for you planned.

Yes, I will be covering

the current events

on my own today.

But don't worry.

- Oh, crap she's losing it.

- We really do have

a great show for you.

- No, no, no get in there.

- What?

- You did it before.

You're good with her go.

- It's not moving.

Overseas...

Just one second can you go back?

'Cause I missed the headline.

The teleprompter

back one second.

'Cause I can't

see the headline--

- Hi, everybody.

Hi, my name's Jake Everett.

I'll be joining Naomi today.

What Naomi's trying to

say is in overseas news...

Wait a minute, you guys don't

wanna hear about this, do you?

- No.

- No!

Let's turn these cameras around,

and hear from you the audience.

House lights come on up.

Yeah, yeah.

Let's get you guys

involved here.

Big round of applause

- Hi, Beth.

- The lovely Naomi.

- Hi, nice to meet you.

Hi, everyone.

- Hi!

- Alright, today,

Naomi, on the show

we have a favorite

celebrity guest,

Chef Willard of

the Nepal Bistro.

- Oh, yes, that's

right they actually

brought in my souffle

for him to test out.

- Uh-oh, Chef Willard

better watch out.

- Alright, so we will be back

with Chef Willard stay tuned.

- That's commercial break.

We'll be back in three minutes.

- Oh, thank you.

- Of course, I always got you.

- You guys were great.

- Thanks.

We're very greatful!

- Fantastic you two.

Uh, keep with the

livestreaming it's genius.

We're already

trending on Chatter.

- Okay.

- And we're back.

- Yep.

Welcome, back everybody.

Now our chef, Chef Willard.

Babe, I had no idea

Robert was that sick.

I knew Robert's

condition was serious...

but you never expect

to really lose someone.

- I bet he knew he was a lot...

a lot more sicker

than he let on.

- I'm really gonna miss him.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

- Promise me nothing is ever

gonna take you away from me.

- No, stop, stop.

- No, promise.

- Nothing's ever gonna

happen, I promise.

Nothing's ever

gonna happen to me.

Nothing.

I got you.

- Robert was so full of life,

and he had fun in

everything that he did,

which is why I know that Robert

would have really

wanted us to spend today

and have fun and

celebrate his life.

So thank you all so

much for coming today.

I really know it would've

meant a lot to him.

- That was lovely, babe.

- Thank you.

I see you guys finally

got a chance to meet.

- You guys did such a great job,

putting all this together.

I'm sure Robert is smiling down

appreciating all you've done.

- Um, god, please

excuse the awkwardness

of talking shop on

such an occasion,

especially one honoring Robert.

But I do have some

news I'd like to share.

I just got the numbers back

from the week that Jake

has been filling in.

And Mornings With

Naomi and Jake are up

200% in the network's

new targeted demo.

- Really.

- That's incredible.

- So, it doesn't take

a genius to figure out

that they, and I, and

I'm assuming Naomi,

would like to turn

your part-time duties

into a full-time replacement.

- This is everything

I've wanted for so long.

- Then it's settled the dynamic

duo are back together again.

- That's my first

official day here at

Mornings with Naomi and Jake,

and it's all thanks to you guys.

- And we are very grateful

to have Jake here.

As always thank you

for spending your

Morning with--

- Naomi and Jake.

- Till next time guys.

- Thank you.

- See you.

- And we're out,

house lights up.

- Great job.

- It was good, yeah.

- Hmm, oh, yeah, I wish

I could have another glass.

But that morning comes so early.

- So Trent Naomi was telling

me about your latest project.

I looked it up it seems amazing.

- Going to change the

entire face of downtown.

- Great, you know I never met

a super successful

architect before.

I would love to come

down to the site

and check it out

if that's possible?

- Of course, I'm the boss

I can get you clearance.

- That's great, that's great.

Honestly, architecture

has always been

kind of a secret

passion of mine.

- Well, you know what

you guys should do

a livestream from the site.

I mean, it would get people

excited that are in the area,

and I'm sure the

investors would love

the advanced publicity.

- That's a great idea.

I mean, involving the

community even more.

- Consider it done.

- I'll check on it.

- All right.

- Yeah.

- Okay, you guys I'm sorry,

but some of us have a

4:00 a.m. wake up call.

- Well, I will see you down at

the site sometime soon then.

- Yeah, yeah, I'm

looking forward to it.

Can I leave something?

- No, no, I got this.

- You sure.

- Go, go, go, yeah.

- Okay.

- All right.

- Bye, sweetie.

- See you in the morning.

- I'll see you tomorrow.

- Bye.

- Check my phone.

- I know that look.

- It's Jake.

He's just letting me

know that he's gonna be

live with Trent down

at the site in a few.

- Is he letting you

know anything else?

- Shut up.

No, but he did say that

the last few nights

have been, "mind blowing,"

his words not mine.

- Wow, so things are heating up.

- Girl, it's been hot.

Were you two really

always just friends?

- Yes.

- God, I just find

that hard to believe.

I mean, he's the whole package.

- I mean, I guess

there was a moment

where maybe I thought

there could be more,

but I didn't wanna

interfere with the show.

- Always the professional.

- And then he left for school,

and I didn't see him since.

I literally bumped into

it a couple weeks ago.

- I mean, all that time

and you guys never

talked or anything.

- Things didn't exactly

end on the best of terms.

- Oh, feelings got involved.

- No, nothing like that.

- You know, I wanted to

ask you something else.

- No, I don't care that my boss

and my costar are gettin' it on

and taking the show

to the bedroom.

- No, it's um...

I wanted to ask you does the

name Cole Smith sound familiar?

- Who said that name

to you, what Jake?

- No, no, no, um, it's just

someone made a

not-so-nice comment

about a Cole Smith

on the stream thread,

and I didn't know if that

sounded familiar to you or not.

- Cole Smith is the name of

the quarterback of our school.

He was murdered.

- Oh, what does that

have to do with Jake?

- Get a load of this.

What do you guys think?

Oh, they love it look at that.

Look at chief.

Wow.

Okay, looks like

we are out of time.

Thank you all for tuning in.

Be sure to watch us bright

and early tomorrow morning.

We got a great show for

you live from the studio.

Say goodbye, Trent.

- Bye, guys.

- See ya.

- That was fun.

The people seemed to be excited.

- Oh, yeah, this is great

for us, thanks again.

- I'll give you the tour.

- Are you sure?

- Of course, you're

my special guest.

But we need to get

you a hard hat first.

- Okay.

- Wait I don't get it?

I mean, if Jake was

wrongfully accused,

then why can't you guys just

pick up where you left off?

- Even though I knew Jake

could never kill someone.

- What?

- You know, after

everything that happened,

we really couldn't pick

up where we left off,

I mean, at least

not with the show.

- Yeah.

- So, you know,

Jake made it very clear

that Campus Cool meant

everything to him.

I never meant to hurt

him, you know, but I did.

So that's why when he

popped back up into town,

I wanted to help him,

and that's why this

show is so special to me

because it's like

a second chance.

- Did they ever catch

the guy who did it?

- A she actually.

Guys ex-girlfriend Lana Jones.

I heard not to long ago

she was released

early for retrial.

I don't know something

about insufficient evidence.

Anyway I'm gonna head

back to the studio

and get a little extra

prep in for tomorrow.

- Of course, you are I'll

see you in the morning.

- Bye.

- I would love a

beer you want one?

- No, no, no, no I'm

still on the clock.

- Come on, you're celebrating.

Let me get you one.

- Okay.

- Hi, two beers please.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Here you go, sir.

Cheers.

To new ventures.

- Speaking of, you

and Scarlet, huh?

- Oh, yeah.

Yeah, we'll see. I know

it's not the smartest thing

to get involved with your boss,

but not everyone has

what you and Naomi have.

It's tough out there.

- Yeah, I remember.

- You got any tips on

how you make her so happy?

- After three years, I

think, it's just really

about paying attention

to what she likes.

- Oh, yeah, I remember in

college it was chicken nuggets

and vanilla milkshakes

from Johnny's Diner.

- Yeah, she told me about

your late-night meeting

in your special booth.

- Oh, wow, she told

you about that, yeah.

- I used to get jealous until

I married her and forgave her.

- I'm sure her tastes have

changed since college though.

- Don't be too sure about that.

- Hmm?

- No.

She loves purple tulips,

long jogs in the park,

uninterrupted I made add,

and, yes, she still

loves vanilla milkshakes,

and now that Johnny's

is out of business,

the Shake Barn is her

favorite place now.

- Shake Barn.

- Yeah.

- I'll have to check that out.

- Listen I don't know how much

Naomi has told you

about our college days,

but I want you to

know one man to other,

you've got yourself

a very special woman.

I noticed it the

first time I saw her.

- I appreciate that.

Yeah, this reunion and the

show has made Naomi very happy.

- You know what they say:

Happy wife, happy life.

- You got that right my friend.

- You okay, Bud?

- Yeah.

Yeah, eh, no.

Wow, I just got really dizzy.

You know what I need

to get back to work.

- Yeah, I'll take

care of this here.

You gotta get back for

your inspection, right?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Whoa.

- Whoa.

Sure you're okay?

- It's just...

- You okay?

- Yeah, yeah.

- No, this one

here let's go here.

- It was a half a beer, right?

- Yeah, alright,

you should be fine.

You look good, you look better.

- It was a half of a beer, man.

- I know it's nothing.

- I got it, I got it.

- You good?

- Hmm-mm.

- Okay.

I'll get the door for you.

- It was a half a beer.

- Yeah.

- Am I alright to drive?

- Yeah?

- I'm alright, right?

- You're good.

Don't worry about it.

- Okay.

Keys, keys, keys.

Okay, okay.

All right.

Okay.

Let's go.

- This will not be

good for community

confidence in the

project, Trent,

not that you'll be

around to see it.

Extra thick

with whip cream.

- What?

- Right.

- Yes, you remembered?

- How could I forget.

It's no Johnny's, but.

- Shake Barn next best thing.

- Trent mentioned you were

gonna be sticking around

a little later tonight.

- He did?

Yeah, he didn't tell you.

Yeah, he took me to lunch today.

I guess, he wanted

to thank me for

doing the livestream

from the site.

- No, he didn't tell me. You

guys are like real buds now.

- I guess so, yeah.

Speaking of which, I obviously

care about guys a lot,

so I hope it's not out of

place for me to bring this up.

- Bring what up?

- Never mind I'm

sure it's nothing.

- No, tell me we're friends.

- Well, just does Trent

sometimes drink on the job?

- I mean, he might have a beer

with lunch every now and then.

- Okay. 'cause he

had a few today,

and I didn't think he was

in any condition to drive.

I tried to stop him,

but he kept insisting

he was fine.

- Well, that doesn't

sound like Trent at all.

- Look, I'm sure it's nothing.

Maybe he's just stressed out.

He's under a lot of pressure

with this new project.

- Yeah, maybe.

- Well, I gotta run,

enjoy that shake.

- Thank you.

Hello, this is Naomi.

Yes, he is my husband.

Oh, my god.

Yes, I'll be right there.

Oh, my god.

- You have

reached Chad Woods.

Leave a message, and I

will get back to you.

Have a sun filled day.

- Hi, there this is Scarlet Lee

calling from Live City Studies.

I'm calling about

a Jake Everett.

I've recently employed him,

and I know that he was a

former employee of yours.

And I know he's coming off of a

successful run

with your network,

and I just had a couple

of questions for you.

If you'd please

give me a call back,

I'd really appreciate

it, thank you.

- Good morning.

- Oh, ma'am, no, you're

supposed to sit back on.

- Annie, get in here

I need my syringes!

- Hey.

- Hey, you're up.

- Barely.

- It's gonna be okay, okay?

What's important now is

that you get your rest.

- I just don't

understand what happened.

I mean, the last

thing I remember

is having a beer

with Jake, and then.

- It was an accident.

You've been working so hard.

You probably didn't know

how run down you were.

We both didn't.

- No, I wasn't run down.

I would've known.

- Maybe you had

too much to drink.

- What, no, I had one beer.

- You know what let's not

worry about that right now.

I am just so grateful

that you are okay.

- Why don't you go

home and get some rest?

- No.

- Look who's up.

I knew you wouldn't

be out for too long.

- Yeah, for now.

I was just telling Naomi

that she should go home

and get some rest.

- I'm not leaving you.

- But you have a show to do.

- You're more important

than the show,

and I'm gonna stay here

as long as you need me,

and I know you

would do the same.

- Yes, I would, but I don't

have Scarlet to answer to.

- He's got a point there.

- Besides I'm gonna be fine.

The show must go on.

- Well, be that as it may,

you don't need to

worry about that.

You just focus on resting up.

Maybe he's right.

Maybe it would be good to check

in at home come back later.

- Yeah, if you're not

gonna listen to me,

at least listen to Jake.

- I can take ya.

- Okay.

- Thanks, Jake.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

Hey, you take care of my wife.

- You bet.

- Thank you.

- You good?

- Okay... there we go.

Three scrambled eggs,

not too runny but still soft.

Oh, and, ketchup on the side.

- Wow, you really do

remember everything.

- All those late-night

breakfasts at Johnny's Diner

in our booth

after our shows,

I think, I could order for you.

Hey, just so you know,

if you really feel like

you can't go on air tomorrow,

I'm comfortable flying solo.

You just take your time, do

what's best for you and Trent.

- Thank you, but Scarlet

should be here any second

to come up with a game plan.

I'm sure she has

some creative twist

to work in my husband's

near-death experience.

- Well, I've always got

your back, know that.

You need to be taken

care of right now.

- And Trent.

- Right, and Trent.

- Hello.

Naomi.

Hello.

Naomi.

Oh.

I didn't know you

were gonna be here.

- Jake just dropped me off.

- And you made breakfast.

- He did.

- Oh, wow.

You really can do it all, huh?

- I had completely forgotten

to eat since the accident.

- Well, I guess, it's good

that you're both here.

Now that Trent is on the mend,

we can talk about moving

forward with the show.

- I told Naomi that

I could host solo

till she feels up to it.

- I'm open to that.

- No, I'll go on.

I think, it's best for me.

- You know, maybe we can

use this to our advantage.

You know, try to go after

the audience's heart,

boost our ratings even more.

- Let's not go there.

- Okay, I'm sorry.

I sometimes forget to turn

off my producer switch.

- You know, I like eggs too.

- Oh, right, of course.

- So, how did you feel?

How did you feel about it?

- I think, good, yeah.

- Well, I think

you were fantastic.

I mean, I knew you'd

pull it together

once the camera started rolling.

Oh, and what you sprinkled

in about Trent's injury

I mean, you came

across vulnerable

while yet still

remaining your strong

independent woman that

everyone knows and loves.

- Thank you.

- Hey, do you remember

what you told me about Jake

being accused of

murder back in college?

- Of course, why?

- What was the last you

heard of Lana Jones?

- Just what I told you.

Her case was thrown out,

and then she was released

a few years later.

Where is all this coming from?

- Well, "LJ1" is the one

who's been writing those

weird unpleasant messages.

I'm assuming that's her, right?

- Are you sure?

- Unless it's a

crazy coincidence.

Look we can't risk even the

slightest hint of a scandal.

We have to protect the show.

- Yeah, of course.

- Oh, is it good news.

- Yes, okay, so they're just

waiting on some blood work

to come back but they think

he's gonna be released soon.

He should be home

in a couple days.

- That is good news.

- Hi, look at you.

How sweet, you just keep

getting better and better.

- These are actually for Naomi.

- Oh.

- Oh.

- Thank you.

- I knew you had

a tough day today,

and I'm sure all your

thoughts are with Trent

so I just wanted to brighten

your day a little bit.

- These are my favorite.

- Of course, they are.

- Doing real good today.

You doing very good today.

- Hi, guys.

- Hey.

- How are you doing today?

- All right.

- I brought you a pudding.

- Oh, how thoughtful.

- It's the only

thing edible in here.

And one for you.

- Oh, my god.

- We are

assumed discharged

usually within 12 hours.

- Okay, yeah.

Can I help you?

Jake Everett.

I am a huge fan.

- Oh, thank you.

Thank you so much.

Sorry is it okay if I steal

one of these puddings?

- Yeah, of course.

Pudding for a picture.

- That's a deal let's do it.

- Okay, my phone's right here.

Got it.

- Awesome, that looks great.

- Thank you so much.

- Fantastic.

You're welcome.

- You sure know how

to make a girl's day.

- Thanks,

doll, you're the best.

- Here we go.

- Thank you.

- Okay, yeah.

Oh, don't forget a spoon.

- Hello, this is Scarlet Lee.

- Ms. Lee, I apologize

for the delayed response.

I'm not sure where you

received your information.

But we terminated Mr. Everett.

- Terminated, why?

- I'm not allowed

to get into detail.

Let's just say it had

to do with his past.

- And does this past, by chance

have anything to do

with a Lana Jones?

- Bingo, sounds like

you've done some homework.

I, obviously can't recommend him

for employment at this time.

- Got it.

- Good.

Ms. Lee, trust me.

There's a lot of things

I'd like to say about Jake.

But this whole incident

already cost us a pretty penny.

- Understood, thank you

for calling me back.

- Dr. Maslow said your blood

tests results came back,

and you were well under the

legal limit for alcohol.

So he wants to run more tests

and see what could have

caused this episode.

- I told you I didn't

drink that much that day.

Jake is still

coming here, right?

- Yeah.

- Hey, Buddy, how

you holding up?

- Hey,

I still don't remember

what happened that day.

- Well, one thing we all know,

you gotta keep eating.

- Oh, he's right, babe.

- Sweets are about

the only thing

that's edible in here, right?

- You got that right.

- I will leave you two.

- Already.

- Yeah, I gotta get to the gym,

and then dinner

with Scarlet, so.

You guys let me know

if you need anything.

- Thank you.

- Hey, Jake.

- Yeah, Bud.

- Before the accident

happened that day,

did you help me

get into the truck?

- No.

No, you kept insisting

you were fine.

Then you took off.

- I could've sworn you did.

- No, maybe I should have.

Maybe I shouldn't have

let you drive at all.

- No, it was an accident.

- Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I'm just

thankful you survived.

- Yeah, me too.

- Hey, are you okay.

- Yeah, yeah, I just...

I got a little light headed.

- Do you want me

to call the nurse?

- No, no, no I'm fine.

I'm just gonna close my

eyes and get some rest.

- Yeah, okay.

- Hi.

- Hello.

- Come in.

- I see you look

beautiful as always.

- Thank you.

- It smells amazing.

- You're sweaty.

- Yes, take a

shower is that cool?

- Yeah, of course, dinner won't

be ready for another 20, so.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

- Check his vitals!

- What's going on?

- Please stay back, ma'am,

we're handling this!

Hey, we need to get

a doctor in here!

- Excuse me, what's

wrong with my husband?

- Get her out of here please!

Preparing defibrillate.

- What's happening!

- Get her out of here please!

- What do we got?

- On three.

One, two, three, clear!

- Check pulse.

- None.

- Start compressions.

- I think, he's moving

into a cardiac arrest.

- Four, five, six.

- Hit him

again, a 120 joules.

- Three, clear.

- Check for pulse!

Anything.

- None.

- Compressions.

- One.

- That was amazing.

You are amazing.

- Thank you.

I'm happy to hear that.

I was starting to think I was

in competition with Naomi.

- Naomi?

That's ridiculous.

You're funny too.

You cooked.

I will do the dishes.

Why don't you go upstairs

and have a nice relaxing bath.

- Oh.

Wow.

Thank you.

- Mrs. Spinner.

First of all, your

husband is one lucky man.

He's gonna be okay.

- What happened to him?

- Well, upon reviewing

the test results,

it appears that your

husband's symptoms

are those of one who

overdosed on blood thinners,

which I can't

possibly understand.

- He's not on blood thinners.

- We know.

But what's even more

disturbing is the medicine

was given to him while he

was inside the hospital.

- Well, how is that possible?

- It isn't, in fact,

something like this

has never happened

under my watch.

Do you know anyone who may have

given him something

unintentionally?

- No.

I mean, our friend

gave him a pudding

from the nurse's

station but that's it.

- No, that wouldn't

cause anything like this.

You husband's out of the woods.

But we're gonna continue

to monitor him closely

to make sure he makes

a full recovery.

- Thank you, Doctor.

- Of course.

We'll recheck all prescription

refills on the list.

It may take a while,

but I promise you

we'll get to the bottom of this.

- Naomi.

- Hey.

- Trooper.

Abby told me I

could find you here.

- Have you heard from

Scarlet this morning?

- No, why?

- She's not responding to

any of my calls or texts.

- Hmm, that is not like her.

When was the last time

you talked to her?

- Last night.

She told me that you decided

to not come from dinner.

- Yeah, I changed my mind

after talking with

her on the way over.

- Well, just so you know she

seemed kind of hurt about it.

- Let's just say, she was

already a few glasses of wine in

by the time I talked to her.

I have lived long enough to

know when to let a woman be.

Honestly, I kind of suggested

that we cool things

off for a bit,

and she did not want to.

- I don't understand why.

- Well, she opened

up to me about

feeling jealous

of our closeness.

- Yours and mine!

We're just friends,

we're costars.

- Believe me that is what

I tried to explain to her.

The last thing I'd wanna do

is interfere with the show.

- Well, I don't know why she

wouldn't have just come to me.

We're so close.

- Not everyone is

like you, Naomi.

I assumed she felt guilty

and embarrassed for

feeling that way,

which is why I suggested

we cool things off.

I did call her after

to check up on her,

but it went to voicemail.

I assume she passed out.

Like I said she'd

already had a few.

Are you good to

do the show today?

- I mean, this would

be the first show

I've ever done without Scarlet,

but we're doing a lot of

firsts here lately, right.

- Always a pro.

- Hey, Jake.

You know, what you

told me the other day

about Trent drinking.

- Yeah.

- Well, his blood

alcohol levels came back,

and he was below

the legal limit.

- Oh.

Well, I just assumed

it was the beer.

Like I say he took off so quick.

I didn't have a

chance to stop him.

I cannot imagine what

you are going through.

- Yeah, you know what

you go without me.

I'm gonna check in

with the glam squad.

It's been a long day.

- Okay.

- Tony's Bar.

- Hi, I was hoping

you could help me.

I am tying to see

your security footage.

How would I do that?

- The police would

have to request it.

- Okay, so I report

it to police,

and they could see the footage.

- Exactly.

- Got it, thank you.

And that's our show.

As always thank you

for spending your

- Mornings with.

- Naomi and Jake.

- See you tomorrow.

- See you.

- And we're out.

Another great show team.

These are your biggest fans.

They won the Jake and

Naomi trivia contest.

- Still nothing from Scarlet?

Thanks so much

for watching guys.

- Well, Jake is super

excited to meet you guys.

- Yes, thank you

all for playing.

- How come the arrest

isn't on there?

- There you are.

I've been looking

all over for you.

- Scarlet's still not here.

- Where you off to?

- I was just gonna

check her place.

- Yeah, that's what I thought

too I'll meet you there.

- Sure.

Come on, Scarlet her car's here.

It's locked.

Scarlet!

- Scarlet!

- For times like these.

Hey, I'm coming in.

Scarlet!

- Hello!

- Scarlet, where are you!

- Are you here!

She has to be here.

- Scarlet!

Scarlet.

Hello.

- Yeah, like I said.

- Scar.

- Oh, my god, I'll

call an ambulance.

- It appears she

drink too much wine

and fell asleep in the tub.

Unfortunately,

it's not uncommon.

We'll continue to

look for foul play,

and in the meantime, I'm

very sorry for your loss.

- I should've texted her back.

I should've called her.

I should've been there for her.

- There was nothing

you could do.

You know what the

detective said.

It was a accident

these things happen.

- Not another accident.

- Sometimes when things

seem a little overwhelming,

it's good to take a break.

- What.

- You know, just...

get away from it all.

Would you like that?

- What are you talking about?

- Would you like

to go away with me?

- Jake, you are not

thinking clearly.

- I am, I am.

- No, you're emotional

over Scarlet.

- I could never

be happy with her.

- What, why?

- Because I'm in love with you.

- Okay, Jake, don't

do this, all right.

You are upset. You and Scarlet--

- I don't care about Scarlet.

- Don't do this.

- I care about you.

I am the only one who's

been there for you, hmm?

I'm the only one who's

always been there for you,

always wanted

what's best for you.

- You are the only

one there for me

because everyone in

my life is either dead

or almost been killed.

And it all started to

happen after you showed up.

- What are you saying?

Oh, you think I had

something to do with all this?

- I don't know what I'm

saying...

Okay? But those are the facts.

I have to go.

- Wait.

Wait.

I'm sorry.

Forget what I said.

I need you!

No, no, no, please,

please, please.

Don't go, don't go, no.

- Abby.

- So this woman named Lana Jones

has been calling

nonstop for Scarlet.

Rambling on about how

Scarlet's in danger.

- I'm gonna need

that number from you.

Thank you.

- Jake did it.

He was with her last night.

- What are you talking about?

- Scarlet messaged me,

and said Jake was

with her last night.

Apparently, she found

something of his

and wanted to hear my side.

It seemed urgent.

- Well, what did she find?

- I don't know

she couldn't talk.

Like I said Jake was there.

- Well, she told me

that he texted her

and decided not to come over.

- Here.

Must have been Jake who texted

you after he killed her.

- I know that you think,

and always thought that he

killed Cole, but why Scarlet?

- If I'm not mistaken, a

strange string of events

occurred after he

showed up, right?

- Yes.

- And your cohost dies,

and he's suddenly there

to fill the position.

And you husband.

- My husband.

- Exactly.

- His accident.

I guess, I just convinced myself

that this was all coincidental.

- Nothing with Jake Everett

is ever coincidence.

Naomi, you're in serious danger.

We both are.

Come with me to the police.

I'm going there right now.

No!

No!

- What, what.

- She knows.

- Mrs. Spinner.

We found traces of Restophin

in your husband's blood,

which is commonly associated

with a date rape drug.

- A date rape drug.

- That would explain

the accident.

- And the symptoms that he was

having before the accident.

- Do you know anyone

who would wanna

hurt your husband?

- Excuse me, Dr. Maslow.

They are really

getting impatient.

- I'll be back as soon as I can.

- Hey, beautiful.

- I made a mistake bringing

Jake back into our lives.

- Why would you say

that about Jake?

- I think, he was

behind what happened

to you and Robert and Scarlet.

Call Lana Jones.

Lana, I believe you.

I'm on my way to the

police station now.

You're probably already there.

I'll see you soon.

See I told you.

- Mrs. Spinner, I

understand you think

Mr. Everett could be responsible

for your husband's accident.

- Not could be is.

- Right, because he lied about

helping your husband

to his truck.

Alright, that hardly implies

he attempted to kill him.

- Jake was the last

person with my husband.

Jake ordered the drinks.

- There's no footage at the bar

that shows Jake

drugging your husband.

- That's because his

back is to the camera.

- What

about your husband?

He still doesn't

remember anything today?

- Well, no, but

the doctor did say

it could be possible

he'll start to get pieces.

- Could.

Look this is a very

serious accusation.

I can't just file

charges against

a man over your suspicion.

We need actual evidence.

I need proof.

- That's exactly what you

told Lana a few years ago.

Did Lana Jones come

in here earlier?

- No, Lana Jones

didn't come in today.

- What.

That can't be.

Are you sure?

- I'm positive.

Look, I'd like to help you.

But at the moment my

hands are tied, I'm sorry.

- Of course, Detective.

I'll handle the rest on my own.

Oh, my god.

- It's not just now.

I have always loved you.

I knew it from the

first time I saw you.

You were walking out of the

library with your friends.

I heard your laugh,

and you looked at me.

I couldn't believe you

were looking at me.

I just knew I had

to be with you.

- Why didn't you

ever say anything?

- The show was going so well.

You and I were working

so perfectly together.

I couldn't risk it, you know.

You always were so

interested in the athletes.

I was just your friend,

which I guess was right because

when I finally did

muster up the courage to

spill my heart out,

Cole stepped in,

swept you off your

feet so easily.

I felt so betrayed,

so hurt,

so angry.

- So you killed him.

- I couldn't control myself.

I had never felt that way.

He had to pay.

- And then you lied about it.

And you let someone else

take the blame for you.

- I had to get away from you.

It was the only way.

- Jake, I never

meant to hurt you.

Obviously, the things I was

feeling they were right.

- I thought we'd

be a team forever.

When, I left, I did everything

I could to try to just

get you out of my head.

When Lana tracked me down

and I got fired, I

knew that was a sign,

a sign that I had to get back

to the thing that I

lost 10 years ago, you.

- So then you killed my costar,

and then you went

after my husband.

How do you possibly think

that I could love someone that

could do something like that?

- Because I'm doing this

all for you, for us.

We are supposed to be together.

- That's never

gonna happen, okay?

It's not gonna happen.

Now I'm gonna help you.

Okay, I'm gonna help you.

- Please don't do that.

No, no, no, give me the phone.

I said give me the phone!

Give me the phone.

- Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, okay.

- Come here.

- No, no where are we going?

- We are going

somewhere very special

where I know you will realize

how you truly feel about me.

- No, no Jake, please.

- Oh, oh, hey, hey.

Don't worry, don't worry, hey,

I'm pretty sure it's gonna

be our best show yet.

- Hello.

- Hey, sorry to bother you,

but Naomi's not answering.

Is she with you?

- No.

No, I've been trying

to reach here too.

She left here really upset.

She's convinced that

Jake is responsible

for everything

including my accident.

- I know, she told me

about the Restophin.

- He lied, Abby.

I remember him helping

me get into the truck.

- What.

- Yes.

Call the police right now

and help me get out of here.

- Still smells the

same, doesn't it?

You could almost taste those

famous chicken nuggets.

You sure did love those.

Hey, Naomi, look.

Look, that's our favorite

booth right there.

- Jake, whatever you're

thinking it's not necessary.

- Oh, it is.

- No.

- It is.

I have waited 10

years for this moment.

And I have the perfect

way to share it.

With all our fans

and loved ones.

Look around.

We're gonna livestream

the whole thing

for everyone to see.

You know, that really

was a good idea

by your former cohost

Robert, wasn't it?

- What are you talking about?

- I may have borrowed

his initial ideas,

sort of made it my own.

He really was pretty sharp.

It's a shame what

happened to him.

No, no, no, hey, hey.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no don't cry.

Don't cry, don't

cry, don't cry, hey.

Hey, you're gonna mess

up that pretty face.

So what do you say?

You ready to go

live one last time?

Okay, here we go.

We'll wait till we

have enough viewers.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

- Jake.

- 8,000, is that enough?

'Cause I want this to

go viral, you know.

Okay, okay.

Hi, welcome to a

very special episode

of Mornings with Naomi and Jake,

in that, it will be

our final episode.

I'm standing here with your

number one favorite, Naomi.

Naomi, do you have an

opening monologue for us?

That's not like you.

You're never at

the loss for words.

- Trent.

- Jake's got her.

- I know.

- What have you done?

Why is she crying?

I understand your concerns,

but it will all be

clear in just a moment.

- Trent, if you're

watching this,

you are the love of my life.

- This is not about Trent!

This is about you and me.

Truth is I fell

in love with Naomi

long before Trent

or any of you did.

Oh, where are you goin'?

- I know where they are.

Help me get out of here.

- Okay, hold on.

- Look at this.

For all your Jacomi

fans out there

from our Campus Cool days

where it all started.

- Stop, stop, stop!

- What?

- No.

- Tell the world what they

all know, what I know.

And we'll both run far, far away

and live the life we

always should have.

- Okay, Jake, I do love you.

And I was afraid to tell you.

I was afraid that you

didn't feel the same way.

- Do you know how long I've

wanted to hear you say that?

- I do.

And we can be together

just please put the gun down.

- The way you're

looking at me right now

that's the same way

you were looking at me

the last time you betrayed me,

the last time you

will ever betray me.

I'll see you soon.

- No, no, no, no!

- You okay?

Are you?

Are you okay?

- Hello, yes, this

is Trent Spinner.

My wife is Naomi Spinner.

I know where she's

being held captive.

She's at Johnny's Diner.

- Naomi!

- Are you okay?

- Are you all right.

- Naomi!

- Welcome back, world.

Okay, we hope you are

wide awake right now

because we do have people

that watch overseas

and we cover many time zones,

but whatever time you're in

it is everyone's favorite time.

Time for our favorite

most popular segment,

and I know you guys look

forward to this every single

day,

so here--

Hi, what are you doing here?

- Hey, hey, hey.

- Hi, honey.

What are you doing here?

- Look, we're gonna get

back to your segment.

But before we do that,

I wanna share some

news with you that your

executive producer Abby

just shared with me.

As of last week's ratings,

you are the most watched

daytime personality

in the country.

Congratulations, baby.

- Thank you!

- We love you, Naomi.

- She's actually very

happy about that.

Oh my gosh, thank you!

That is really huge news.

I don't know what

to say to that.

Thank you.

Thank you to everyone

who watches the show

and streams us around

the world, worldwide.

I'm sorry, it's

taking me off guard.

I'm so excited.

It's truly an honor.

And most importantly,

I am thankful for you two,

because you are

my entire world.

Oh, it's okay, it's okay.
