Get Shorty (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - And What Have We Learned? - full transcript

[Miles] Previously
on Get Shorty...

How hard can it be?

- Producing a movie.
- [Louis] We don't know
the first fucking thing.

[Miles] So we find
someone who does.

[Miles] Mr. Moreweather.

I'd produce this myself,
but I've never done it before.

So, I do the legwork, you
advise me and we split the profits.

[Rick] What's it called?

[Miles] The Admiral's Mistress.

[Rick] And Escalones
is producing this thing?

[Amara] You come
to my room tonight.



It's been a few days.

[Buchholz] You have nothing
we could use against her in court.

We believe you could
be useful down the road.

- What are we talking about?
- A wire.

[exhales]

[Gladys] So, you've
never had sex?

That is correct.

It is a gray area.

- Kids call it "soaking."
- [gasps]

So, how is LA?

I hear it's a dangerous place.

You think that's true?

Is that a threat?

Was it?



[gunshot]

[grunting]

[Yago] Hope you know
it's nothing personal.

I told my Tia, me and Miles,

we can put this behind us.

[grunts]

- Hi, Bliz.
- [Yago] We're businessmen.

- It as just business.
- That's exactly how I feel.

You've always worked
with people like this?

For a while now.

So you've been lying to
me, basically, my whole life.

I need you to stay away from us.

I'll still see Emma.

Of course, I've
known for a little while.

[Wes on phone] Miles?

- Speaking.
- Hey, it's Wes from MGM.

I have a script.

And we're looking
for a producer.

I was wondering if you
wanted to give it a read.

What made you think of me?

We need someone persuasive.

Well, I can be very
fucking persuasive.

[pop music playing on radio]

Deputy Reiger here on
the 161 near the bypass.

Got an 11-83.

[woman on radio] 11-83 copy.

Do you need me to send an
ambulance out to your location?

Stand by.

[music stops]

- Anyone hurt?
- [man 1] Nope.

[woman] We're all fine.

[man 2] My fault.
Didn't see him.

As long as everyone's okay.

Take your hands out
of your pocket for me.

You got license?

Yeah. Do I? Yeah.

That guy say he didn't see me.

How much you had to drink today?

Nothing.

Stay here. Do not move.

[Reiger] I can call
you a tow truck.

Nope. Just, uh,
swapping out this tire.

It was our fault.

We told him we'd pay for the
damage and gave him our information.

- Hey, lemme get that.
- No, no.

Don't... Please
don't bother yourself.

- [woman] He's got it.
- No, I'm a one-man worker.

[woman chuckles]

What's that?

[man 2] What's what now?

[gunshot]

["Today Could Be
The Day" playing]

[man 2] Hold on!

- You ready?
- No! I'm not ready! Hold on!

[vehicle approaching]

[officer on PA] On
the ground now!

Whosever in the RV, we
need you to exit the vehicle

with your hands on the air.

Exit the vehicle!

Yeah, and the thing that
I hate is name-dropping.

- Totally.
- Right?

I mean, you know, I wouldn't talk
about Sean Penn if I'd only met him once.

I'd only bring him up if I
knew him or I represented him.

You rep Sean Penn?

No. [chuckles]

- I'm saying that's why
I don't talk about him.
- Right. Right. [chuckles]

I mean, I did, uh, I
did meet him once.

But that's-that's not the point.

Gentleman over the bar sent
this over with his complements.

Wow.

- Who sent that?
- Uh, at the end there.

Hmm. What's his name?

He said it was Miles.

Miles. No. I don't know him.

Think he's an actor
looking for an agent?

Hmm. [chuckles] Could be.

Oh, he's coming over.

[Miles] Hello, there.

Hey! We were
just discussing this.

Oh, least I can do. Miles.

Helen.

Wayne and I have
been trading calls.

- Have we?
- [Miles chuckles]

We met at Zinc. Have
you been to Zinc?

Oh, very trendy.

Brussels sprouts, all that shit.

You mentioned that Amy
Adams was a client of yours.

Hmm. Name-dropping.

Now, I'm a film producer. I
have a new project at MGM.

And I told Wayne about it
and he said it's a home run.

Hmm. I don't remember that.

Oh.

Yeah, you said that
Amy would love to read it

and that I should send a copy
of the script over to your office.

Hey, look, uh, maybe we
did have that conversation,

I don't remember, okay?

You were with a different girl.

But let's keep that between us.

Okay, look, I'm having
dinner here, okay?

- So, why don't you try me
at the office...
- I did try that.

Okay. Good. Well, have
a good night then, okay?

[chuckles] Listen.

- Hey, hey.
- Maybe you had a few drinks
and it slipped your mind,

but you don't wanna be known
as a man who won't keep his word.

- Do you, Wayne?
- Hey, you know what? Get your hands off of me.

- [Wayne gasps]
- I'm not someone you tell

to fuck off and I just fuck off.

Either you make
good on your promise,

or you'll wish you had.

So lovely bumping
into you like this.

What are the chances?

Lovely to meet you, Helen.
Enjoy your champagne.

Let me know how
Amy finds the script.

[sighs]

using as a plan A
and we have a B...

Am I late? I thought we were...

No, we're just catching
up with Agent Dillard.

- Hi.
- Oh.

So, you wanna take us through?

She's familiar with the case.

We're not replacing you.
We're just here to help.

[sighs]

Uh...

Okay.

Our informant, film
producer Rick Moreweather,

he's wearing a wire, but won't
testify against Miss de Escalones.

How useful would
you say he's been?

So far, Amara won't
discuss business.

Pretty much all they
do is make small talk.

- And have sex.
- Two or three times a day.

[chuckles]

These are homicides we think are
tied to Amara or the organization.

Most of the evidence
is circumstantial.

These are recent?

Two men in Amara's organization.

Originally, we thought they
were taken out by a rival gang.

Now we're not sure.

So, you've got a case for
laundering but not homicide?

- At least we get her
off the street.
- For a few years.

I think you have
done excellent work.

But Amara is now in business
with the Capitulo Cartel,

which is potentially
a bigger case.

Much bigger.

So we're not moving on this.

It's a fallback position.

We, uh, strike out, we can always
bring laundering charges against Amara.

And who are those other guys?

Miles Daly and Louis Darnell.

They're filmmakers.

Kubrick and Coppola.

[laughing]

[coughing]

[groans]

[breathing heavily]

Oh...

Are you fucking...

[coughing]

Morning!

Hey.

[chuckles] Did you
forget I was here?

Wait, if you're not cool with
this, just, you know, tell me.

I just can't handle stairs.

No, you're fine.

So, who was the girl?

Huh?

Naked girl came
out of your room?

She grabbed her stuff and left?

Night before last?

Ten minutes ago.

[chuckles]

Huh.

Seriously? You
have no recollection?

Uh...

I was in a bit of
a mood last night.

Katie wants me to
sign the divorce papers.

Hmm.

When did this happen?

Right after a conversation about
Emma's trip to the science museum.

She was like, uh, "Don't
forget the permission slip.

Also, when you have a
minute, lets get divorced."

- Buddy, I'm sorry.
- No, it's good.

Better than dragging it out.

I... My kingdom for an aspirin.

Yeah, you've been
going through those lately.

Look, I know that you
had a difficult night.

But you've been
doing this a lot.

What's that?

Getting blackout wasted.

Says the Mormon teetotaler.

Look, you're going
through some shit, okay?

If there's anything you wanna
talk about, you know, just...

- Katie, the divorce, anything...
- There's nothing to talk about,
is there?

I'm late to pick up Emma.

Oh, hey, we got
the publicity shoot

for the movie this afternoon.

Yeah.

We were together
since last October.

But then she stopped texting me.

I was like, "What?"

'Cause I didn't
realize that this bitch

has serious emotional problems.

Yeah?

Definitely.

You and me should
go to Casa Mi tonight.

Come on, man. Wednesday's
18 and over. Hmm?

Come on, man, you never been.

I was there last weekend.

- With who?
- Dicky.

You went with Dicky?

Okay, thanks for inviting me.

Hey.

Pacey called.

We lost the RV.

- What?
- They never showed up
last night.

And Pacey found out one of the
drivers shot a fucking cop in Goodsprings.

So, they're in custody.

We lost the shipment?

- I mean,
the drivers killed a cop.
- But that's a two month supply.

Three.

[curses in Spanish] This is...

Oh, shit.

- Who were the drivers?
- Gringos.

- All right,
we'll get them lawyers.
- We did.

Who did?

Pacey called me, so,
like, I called George.

You were on the call talking
to George and not me?

I tell you who to fucking call.

So, don't get the lawyer?

Yes, get the fucking...

Yes, Gary,
because I told you to.

Does Amara know?

Call should come
from you, right?

[Spanish song playing]

Ricky.

Cami made French toast.

You like that, don't you?

Oh, gosh.

What's the matter?

This toothache all of a sudden.

- Oh, you can't eat?
- It's throbbing like crazy.

No, I-I'll try.

Don't move.

Cami.

[grunting]

Ah, Okay. Mmm.

- You're not having some?
- Oh... No syrup.

[Amara chuckles]

- All right.
- Try that piece.

- What?
- That one in the middle.

What is that?

For you.

- Wow.
- [chuckles]

[Rick] Wow!

- That's...
- [chuckles]

- That's very, very nice.
- Hmm.

- Why would you buy me
a car though?
- Why?

- Well, I got the Mercedes.
- Oh, it's too old. I don't like it.

- Don't like it?
- They get rid of it.

- Who did?
- The car people.

- You wanna get in?
- The Mercedes, it's gone?

I mean, this is
great. This is great.

- I thought you'd like it.
- Yeah.

Vibrant color.

So, w-what was it, a dealership?

'cause I had CDs, I
had a sweater in there.

Yago. You should take it inside.

[chuckles]

Thank you for
this. It's amazing.

- [knocking on door]
- It's open!

[door opens]

[door shuts]

Sorry, a bit late.

She'll be right out.

Heard you're going
to Don Cuco's.

Yeah. For a nutritious
meal of fried cheese.

That sounds fun.

You look tired.

You're working late, or...

Yeah, you know, now and then.

Hey, did the school call you?

I mean, it's not a big deal, but, uh,
the check you gave them didn't clear.

Ugh, shit.

I-I must have used
the wrong account.

'Cause, you know, I was
thinking, there's no reason

that you should be paying for
Emma's school and our rent.

- I don't know why...
- I'm glad to do it.

- Please just let me...
- Katie.

Everything is coming together.

You know, tomorrow
we're screening

the director's cut of
The Admiral's Mistress.

Great! That's awesome!

Also, got this new MGM
film. Did I tell you about this?

I'm getting a read
from Amy Adams.

- Oh, God, I love her.
- Yeah.

That's gonna be great.

- Congratulations.
- Hey, you hungry?

- Does it matter?
- Don't need to be hungry
for fried cheese.

- Bye.
- See you later.

Miles.

You know, I got this big raise.

I just explained to you
how well things are going.

Both of your projects
sound amazing,

but is there any
money coming in yet?

- Because I can...
- [sharply] Can you fucking let it go?

I wanna take care of you both.

Give me that at least.

Yeah.

[chuckles]

I'll be back by 5:00.

[door shuts]

[pop music playing]

Down button, basement level two.

There's a car waiting.

I told Amara that my appointment

would only take an hour, so...

Whose Hummer?

She gave it to me this morning.

Not really my style, but...

Mr. Moreweather, we haven't met.

I'm agent Clara Dillard,
you can call me Clara.

And I see you've
already met Ken.

Yeah, okay, what
happened to the...

Oh, uh, Agent Buchholz and Ware are still
on this case, we're just here to help out.

We wanna make sure
you are being looked after.

So, how are you doing?

- Uh, with the case?
- No, you. How are you doing?

- I've been better.
- Oh, tell us.

Well, for one thing,
I'm not sleeping.

Oh, I can imagine.

You're handling it so well.

I'm trying. Yeah.

Hmm.

Jacket.

- Jacket.
- Jacket, yeah.

It's good.

So, this button here...

is a recording device.

Oh, okay.

Even if Amara's
people do a scan,

they won't find it, because
there's no transmitter.

But every few days, we'll need to
swap jackets and retrieve the recording.

Well...

Okay, but I, uh...

I have a mustard stain. Just, it
won't come out when you wash...

- Ken.
- Add a stain.

We know how
difficult this is for you.

We wanna do everything
we can to make you feel safe.

I appreciate that.

And the agents you've been
working with are very good, but...

Maybe, as a woman,

I could share insights in terms of how
to get Amara to open up about her...

- professional life.
- No, listen.

I don't know about that because
she never wants to talk about it.

Well, let's try doing
a role-play game.

You be Amara and I will be you.

You're me?

Amara, it kills me to see
you so upset. Are you okay?

Is there anything
I can do to help?

- You're Amara.
- Yeah, I get it.

If you need a shoulder
to lean on, I'm right here.

I know how much
you have going on.

Is it... Is it business,
or is it personal?

All right, look, if I say that,

my head ends up
in a garbage bag.

We need this case to be airtight
so you don't have to testify.

Or go into witness protection.

Just one second, all right?

Because Buchholz and Ware, they
promised I would never have to testify.

And we really want
to keep that promise.

So, you'll be Amara,
and I'll be you.

Ready?

[Gladys] This is nice.
[Louis] Yeah, yeah.

So, uh, that's where I
stay. Right under there.

'Cause I'm not so
great with, uh, stairs.

I wanna get my own place though,

as soon as I can
get around better.

Yeah, easier to house
hunt when you can...

When you can walk?

Yeah.

So... How about you?
Y-you like living alone?

Why would you ask me that?

- I just...
- I do like it.

Okay.

So, uh...

You said there is something
you needed to talk about?

Not really.

On the phone, you said
that there was something...

Yeah, but you just got out of
the hospital, I'm not gonna...

Uh, I just wanted to say hi.

These flowers are nice.

Yeah, uh, my agent
sent those over.

He wants me to

get another writing job.

- Oh, that's exciting.
- Yeah, yeah. So...

Maybe I'll write another movie.

But I don't like meetings.

So I told my agent
that if I can get a job

without having a meeting,
that would be better.

You should, you
should take those.

- No, you don't have to...
- We're not flowers guys.

I don't want them!

- Okay.
- [knocking]

Sir, I'm Detective Torann, LAPD.

Is Miles Daly around?

The quesadillas with chorizo,

and cameranos for sure,
and, and the poblanos.

Dad, I can't eat all that.

You take the rest of it
home. And a steak, thank you.

Oh, and, uh, two horchatas.

It's the best part.

- What were you saying?
- I asked what's going on
with you.

Right, yes. Um...

You know, just busy, working.

How's, uh, how's field hockey?

I already told you.

And when I ask what's going on
with you, you won't talk about it.

You pulled out of
my movie, Emma.

And now it's coming out.

And I'm betting you don't wanna
hear me banging on about it all day.

You think I made a mistake.

No, no, that's not
what I'm saying.

Okay, okay, Dad, I am
happy to hear about it,

but I'm not asking
about the movie.

What happened to
the guy that shot you?

I never...

- I never said I was shot.
- Do you work for those people?

Shorty, you wanna know
what's gong on with me?

The Admiral's
Mistress. That's it.

[chuckles] That's it.

If that's not what you wanna
talk about, then, I'm sorry.

For example, I'm getting
interviewed right after this.

You ever watch the IFC channel?

They're doing a whole
feature on my movie.

That's great, Dad.

It is. Yeah.

You know, you could
come watch if you'd want.

- Mom wants me back.
- [cell phone ringing]

She won't mind.

- Yeah?
- Hey, buddy, um...

I'm at your place and there
is an LAPD detective here

who would like
to speak with you.

Is that right?

[Louis on phone] Yeah, he says
that he would like to get a statement,

but he won't say
what's it about.

I'm having lunch with
a pretty girl right now.

Okay, well, I just thought that this would
probably go easier if you just talked with him.

[sighs] Do you
mind if I take this?

I'll be one sec.

- Hello.
- [Detective Torann on phone] Mr. Daly,

this is Detective Torann.
How are you today?

That depends what this is about.

We had a Mr. Wayne
Kinnian file a complaint

accusing you of
assault and battery.

Said you confronted him last
night at Lazario's restaurant.

Me? No, that
doesn't ring a bell.

You sure he doesn't
mean someone else?

Yes, sir.

Mind of I ask you
a few questions?

Go on then.

Miss de Escalones, I'm
Rafael. I'll be taking you in.

So do it.

I'm only authorized to
take Miss de Escalones.

Who can authorize
for the rest of us?

Afraid that's not possible.

If you don't wish to meet, I can
always relay that to my employers.

I don't like it.

Not gonna stand here and
talk about it. I wanna go in.

This way.

Would you like
some sparkling water?

Or do you have a parking
that needs validating?

So nice to meet you.

So, the drivers.

The RV?

We got them lawyers.

The drivers were eliminated.

We apologize for not conferring
with you before we made the decision,

since they were your employees.

But we discussed internally and
decided that their arrest left us exposed.

Also, you asked us to split the
cost of the confiscated product.

Uh, our answer to that is no.

You packed the RV.

You accepted the shipment.

And when the arrest occurred the
RV was 11 miles across the border.

I don't know you.

[speaking in Spanish]

No.

[operatic music playing]

Really?

Oh, that's... That's
disappointing.

Mmm-hmm.

Uh-huh. Okay.

All right, uh...

Thank you for the update.

All right.

The Kilner piece has
already been optioned.

Did you make the offer?

I was, uh, waiting on
legal to finish our bid.

Sorry.

Corey, would you pull over here?

Thank you.

Nate.

Thank you for the work
you've done over the past...

Well, whatever it's been.

- Laurence. [chuckles]
- Please get out.

Get out here?

Fuck.

First of all, the trailer
is amazing, right?

And I saw a clip of the battle
sequence, it's breathtaking.

- I agree.
- Flattery gives me
this feeling in my stomach

like I need to use the restroom.

- [chuckles]
- Oh, I should take this.

- Hello.
- It's Emily
in Laurence Budd's office.

I know you have a meeting
scheduled with Laurence in a few weeks.

Any chance you'd be able
to meet sooner? Like today?

- Today?
- Our Executive VP
of Development is moving on,

and Laurence is
looking to fill that position.

Are you still there?

Uh, yeah, I thought this was about
co-productions, not me leaving Gravity?

[Emily on phone] So,
you're not interested?

- I am...
- April.

- Hey.
- Oh, hi.

- Do you remember Emma?
- Hang on a sec.

Of course I do.
We've missed you.

- Hey, Emma.
- [April] No,
I am interested...

It's good to see you.

Uh, Amara wants to talk.

Um, I need to go and get cleaned
up real quick. Are you okay here?

Can you do me a favor?

Can you just look real miserable
and try not to have any fun?

- Got it.
- Perfect.

What's up?

What did the detective say?

Fucking talent agent, he said he
gave the MGM script to Amy Adams

and then he brushed me off.

I barely touched the guy.

I should've scared
the piss out of him,

then he wouldn't
have gone to the cops.

- [sighs] What did
the detective ask...
- I don't wanna talk about it.

Come on.

It's hard to feel like a man when
you're wheeling a fucking walker.

But it's the way that you
use it that I find irresistible.

I think Gladys is gonna dump me.

Were you two going steady?

Maybe just 'cause I don't
have another movie lined up,

and she thinks I'm
a one-hit wonder.

You're a no-hit wonder.

She doesn't know that.

[Rick] Hey. Guys.

- Tell them.
- Yeah, sure.

Amara, she wants to know, and,
uh, I think it's a reasonable question...

When can she expect
to recoup her investment?

[chuckles]

Movie's not out yet.

- We haven't even seen it.
- Exactly.

Yes, I told her that once the
movie gets released, she'll get paid.

When it's released or will she
need to wait until production costs

are recouped by the studio?

Yeah, yeah, I mean,

once we sell the
foreign rights...

Does she need the
money right now,

or can she hold on for a bit?

- Ricky, wait outside.
- Sure.

Rick,

your jacket.

- Excuse me.
- Sorry.

Hi.

An RV?

$2.6 million in product.

As of today, we have 30
days to pay our supplier.

I see why that's an issue.

I wish I could help.

[Amara] What you
do is make movies.

When do you make a new movie?

I'm working on that.

When do I get my
cut from this next one?

You don't.

What?

You get a return on
movies you've invested in.

We'll have to see if there's
an opportunity to invest.

I never agreed to that, did I?

Not to my knowledge.

Is Miles in... Oh, well, hello.

- Hey, you're ready
for your close-up?
- Yes, I am.

I better go.

[narrator] Max Kisbye's
next big screen turn

finds him fighting for the
love of Sofia Borenstein

in The Admiral's Mistress.

As a director, I was drawn in

by the world of our story.

Well, Max and Sofia, they, they put
themselves in the mindset of that period.

[Miles] And when you're working with a
director with this level of creative vision,

you just have to step
the hell out of the way.

[narrator] The Admiral's
Mistress is due for release this fall.

And for Kisbye fans, that's
not a moment too soon.

- [Emma] So, my history teacher,
she's totally strict...
- Uh-huh.

But we found out
that on weekends,

she's on a roller derby team.

- Your history teacher?
- Yep.

Well, you're getting a
well-rounded education.

You better go in before
your mother yells at me.

- This was fun.
- This was fun.

Thank you.

You know, tomorrow,
we're having a screening.

Gonna watch the whole
film, if you wanna see.

I'm seeing Helen after school.

Is she a new friend?

No, my therapist.

I thought Mom told you.

Why are you seeing a therapist?

Mom just thought it'd be
nice if I had someone to talk to.

You know, about everything.

About you.

Is it helpful?

I told her you lied to me.

And she said that if you don't
feel good about your life or yourself,

and you lie about it,

it's not my fault.

And I should forgive you.

- Good luck at the screening.
- Mmm-hmm.

See you Wednesday.

Sorry, can I get a
Guinness and a Green Spot?

Double, please.

How's life at the big studio?

It is good. We got
a lot to talk about.

Yes.

- Got a good feeling
about this project, Wes.
- Me too.

Hey, what happened
with Wayne Kinnian?

Uh, Amy Adam's agent.

He stopped returning my calls. I
heard something about an argument.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, what happened?

Just a bit of a
miscommunication is all.

I felt bad about it. I actually just
sent over a gift basket to his house.

To his home address?

Yeah, got the details off the
guard who was filling in at his desk.

There's cheese, lovely bottle of
vino, and the whole nine yards.

Yeah, I mean, I probably would
have sent it to his business address

so he doesn't think you're,
like, messing with him.

But I'm sure it was appreciated.

[chuckles]

Ah.

- Cheers.
- It's okay.

- Cheers.
- Oh, yeah.

Gladys!

Thought that was you.

[Gladys] Where are
you coming from?

Uh, interview with IFC.

IFC? That was two hours ago.

Yeah, well, you know, I was
just hanging out, 'cause, uh...

I wanted to talk to you.

[sighs] Okay.

I kind of feel like,

maybe you wanna stop
hanging out with me.

I mean, you haven't said that.
And you don't need to explain it.

I mean, there's plenty of reasons
that two people might not...

Wait.

I'm pregnant.

Congratulations.

It's yours.

I haven't had sex with anyone
else. It's been a slow month.

And that's why I've
been weird around you.

I wasn't sure whether I
was going to tell you, or...

Is this because we were soaking?

Precum. And I'm guessing
as a Mormon, you're pro-life.

Maybe you've got family

- pushing you to have
lots of babies.
- I do.

So, I don't mean to be harsh,

but I really don't want your Mormon
opinion on how to handle this.

We've hung out a little, and
you seem nice, but I don't...

I don't know you, and...

I can't get to know you
because we can't date.

Not the way that
I think of dating,

because you won't have
sex until you're married.

I was just gonna go to
the clinic and deal with it.

And then, my sister

got in my head.

She said that at my age,

I have geriatric eggs.

Whatever that means. And
that this might be my last chance,

- which is ridiculous.
- Yeah, it is crazy.

Because it is LA and women
have kids in their 50s here.

Yeah.

Anyway, I'm gonna
make a decision about this,

and I will try to keep
you in the loop, okay?

- Sure.
- We'll talk.

- We will.
- Thanks for understanding.

Oh, I wouldn't suggest
that's budgeted wrong.

If there's actually two in there,
they're only pulling out one.

Excuse me. Can I get a, uh...

- What is that?
- Oh, no, thank you.

- Hmm? What's that?
- I have reading to do.

- This?
- Yeah.

Octopus.

- Octopus.
- It's what it looks like.

Uh, can I get you
girls another drink?

- That's okay. We're good.
- Can we get another round
for the ladies here, please?

Miles.

- Amy.
- Amy.

- Monique.
- Amy and Monique.

What's you plan for
the evening, girls?

Uh, this is it.

Oh, but this place,
this place closes early.

[chuckles]

- Myself and Wes here... Wes is a big shot.
- Yeah.

We're gonna go
in search of a place

with less fucking
suits and wannabes.

- I gotta take off.
- No.

Yeah, yeah, ton of
work to do. Um, have fun.

- I mean, I'm trying.
- Good night.

- Good night.
- [Miles] Good to see you.

[Rick] Amara.

Amara.

Amara?

Hey, I got news.

I just made a bunch
of calls this afternoon.

I just got an email back
from a film financing company.

Guy willing to buy your points.

What does that mean?

That means you're gonna get
your money back immediately.

- Huh? That's good, right?
- Ricky.

Yeah. I mean, we'll
talk the numbers

after he sees the cut, but
he's gonna, he's gonna...

- Oh... [chuckles]
- Yeah.

Just know that if you would wait

till the movie gets
released, you'd make more.

I need money now.
Gotta tell George.

You know,

I'm here, if you
ever just want to talk.

With the whole money
crunch thing, like...

Is it personal, is it business?

What?

I'm just wondering if...

The business, it's okay?

Yes, it's fine.

Great.

Good.

Good. I just wanna
make sure you're good.

And you are. You are. Okay.

Let you get back to it.

- [door closing]
- [footsteps]

[Louis] Miles?

[crashing]

Oh! Miles.

[grunting]

[groans] What are you doing?

What time is it?

Miles...

[urinating]

Oh.

Yeah. Really had to go, huh?

The bathroom is ten feet away.

Yeah.

- [shatters]
- Aah! Yeah.

- Shit.
- Yeah, shit.

No, no, no, no, no.

You just go to bed. Go.

- Yeah, just get in the bed.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, no, no, Miles, get up.

- Go to bed.
- I just gotta...

Get in your...

I'm just gonna lie
down here for a second.

[Miles groans]

- [Miles grunts]
- Okay.

Here you go, you fucking idiot.

[Miles mumbling indistinctly]

Oh! Ha!

Oh, shit. I didn't
see you there. Fuck.

Sorry.

[exhales]

Morning.

Amara is grateful for your
help and emotional support.

But outside of
people she works with,

she can't discuss
casino business.

You don't have a
problem with that, do you?

No. No, I mean...

No. I hear you. Yeah.

Okay, thanks.

[Louis] Rise and
shine, pal. Ooh.

Let's see those baby blues.

There they are.

All right, well...

Now that you've had a
luxurious night of sleep,

you are ready for the day.

Screening's in an hour.

No.

[Louis] Yeah, yeah. So, if
you need to take a shower,

or wanna get a change of
clothes, now would be the time.

Hey, here's your aspirin.
Here's your coffee.

Lulu, do me a favor, will you?

Uh, throw some ice in
the sink and run the water?

You mean this sink?

The one that you
pissed in last night?

Oh, fucking christ.

Hey.

Can't you say congratulations?

'Cause we are about
to watch a movie

that we made.

Yeah. And if I'm honest,

I never thought
that we'd be here.

You should have some breakfast.

Mmm. Fuck no.

You think Gladys will
come to the screening?

- You are hung up on this girl.
- She's a nice person.

She's easy on the eyes.

She's fun.

She's carrying my child.

What's that now?

Yeah, that's what she told me.

- [Louis sighs]
- [stammering]

In my experience,

people, they have to
have sex to get pregnant.

Yeah, technically, there was...
Technically, there was no sex.

It's called "soaking."

A man puts his
penis in the vagina,

but he doesn't move it around.

He doesn't move it around?

I can see why you
never mentioned it.

[sighs] Yeah, she... I
mean, you know, she's...

She hasn't decided
if she's having the kid.

She said she'd
keep me in the loop.

Oh, that's big of her.

Hmm. I don't know, I just
can't stop thinking about her.

I mean, I can't... I'm
kind of freaking out, man.

I mean...

She doesn't want
me to pressure her

while she's making her decision,

but in my faith,
abortion's a fucking sin.

[gargling]

You don't seem to mind
putting a bullet in someone.

Like that's the same.

I don't shoot babies.

[gargling]

Anyway, look, I mean, it's
not up to me, so... You know...

I'm just gonna put
it out of my mind.

This bears further discussion.

- But, uh, I'm gonna...
- Yeah, go shower.

I got an update for you.

'Cause you didn't hear
what Ed said this morning

when I wasn't
wearing the jacket.

He said, "Stay out
of Amara's business."

So they're suspicious.

As if this... This whole
thing wasn't dicey enough.

From now on, I'm not
digging around for information.

No, if I... If I happen
to be wearing the jacket

when somebody says
something, okay, all right, fine.

Otherwise, you're on your own.

Amara may not be, uh, a good
citizen by most people's standards.

You know what?

She's good to me.

And you got me
sneaking and lying around.

I feel like a, uh,
duplicitous piece of shit.

Not that you would care.

What do you care?

I'm talking into
a fucking button.

[indistinct chattering]

[Rick] Well, no, I mean,
as far as screen time goes...

Hey! Here we go.

- The moment has arrived.
- [chuckles] Yeah.

Did he tell you I'm
gonna get my money?

Oh, yeah, I found a company
that's gonna buy her points.

That's... That's great news. What
have you got on your legs, Rick?

- It's a gift from Amara.
- Lovely.

Lovely gift they are.

Yeah, they really
catch the light.

- Hey, is Gladys here?
- No, she said
she couldn't come.

- Not sure why.
- [man] What do they sign ever?

- [Miles] My beautiful Viking.
- Oh, hey, my friend.

- Been a long road.
- Oh, I'm so proud of what
we have accomplished, man.

Brilliant writer.

- [roars]
- My God, easy.

[laughs]

So, when are we gonna
do our next movie?

- Soon or what?
- Yeah.

I'm so excited.

Now take your
seat. Take your seat.

- Good luck.
- Yeah.

Break a leg. [chuckles]

Yago, didn't expect
to see you here.

My Tia wants me in LA.

Discuss some business.

- Hey, Pee Wee.
- How are you doing, Louis?

I am great.

- Thank you for asking.
- No problem.

You know, I'm excited
about the movie.

Hope it lives up to the hype.

I just hope it's as good as the
other English period dramas you like.

- I heard things aren't going
so well in Nevada lately.
- Oh.

- Yeah? That's what you heard?
- Hmm.

[Hafdis] Excuse me, I
would like to take a moment

to show my love for each and
every one of you in this room,

because this is not my movie.

This is our movie.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay! Let's turn
those fucking lights off!

Let's roll.

[instrumental music playing]

[horses galloping]

[guns firing]

[cannon shot]

[panting]

[heart beating]

[inaudible]

- The fuck did you do?
- What?

You fish-eating
Scandinavian cumbucket!

[indistinct yelling]

You think you know art when you
see it. Are you fucking kidding me?

This is the best movie I made
whether you can see it or not.

When this move wins an Oscar,

I won't be thanking
you, you fucking peasant.

- All right. Fuck!
- Hey!

Enjoy your afternoon!

Chill.

I mean that was...

- Wow...
- [Ed] You stay out of it.

[Rick] I'm with Miles on this.

- That was just, uh... I don't get it.
- [April] Unwatchable.

I don't get it, I saw the ocean
battle last week, it was great.

[April] The trailer's great,
then you see the whole film...

It don't make any sense.

The scenes are all jumbled.
What's with all the shots of clouds?

- The voiceovers.
- That was not in the script.

Am I gonna get my money?

Okay, all right, look, nobody
panic. This happens all the time

with director's cuts.
They're always rocky.

W-we recut the film.

Yeah, yeah, Hafdis
does not have final cut.

[Rick] No, he doesn't. So,
let's just get our notes together...

April, you go to Gravity, and...

What? No?

Uh, yeah, no,

I'm-I'm happy to give my notes,

but in terms of
working with the studio,

I'm actually, uh,
starting a new job

at Budd E. Boy Entertainment.

Laurence Budd? [chuckles]

- Good for you.
- Thanks.

The timing is unfortunate.

I know, but you're gonna
have Reed Jennings,

he's gonna take over. he's senior
VP at Gravity. He's really great.

So, you know, if you
need anything, he's...

He's gonna be here for you.

[officer] Mr. Daly.

Sir, I need you to come
to the station with us.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Since you and I spoke, we've obtained
security footage of the confrontation

between you and Mr. Kinnian.

You're under arrest for battery.

Would you turn around, please?

Hey, uh, you know, I'm gonna go

stay at my place
tonight, I think.

A lot of work to do
the next few days.

- I should probably just get...
- You wanna go, go.

You, uh, you all right?

It's been a hard day for me.

Yeah, the movie.

I do business with people in LA.

Not movie people.

Okay.

They don't respect.

Push me around like a,

like a pequena puta.

Maybe I should be in Nevada.

Come on, I...

I get that all the time.

People just throwing their weight
around and trying to prove something.

You're better than that.

You see, once you
get through all this,

trust me, you're gonna
have their respect.

- Thanks.
- Mind driving?

No.

From now on, Hafdis doesn't come
anywhere near the editing room.

I'll tell him myself. You and me,
we're gonna sit down with the editors.

Okay, before we
get into all that,

can we just take a moment

and talk about
what just happened?

- You were in county lockup.
- For assault.

Okay, maybe that
wasn't a big deal, but...

It's a warning.

From the universe
and the city of LA

that you need to take a
hard fucking look at yourself.

Meaning what?

You and Katie are
getting divorced.

- Oh, for fuck's sake.
- Okay.

I mean, I can only
imagine how bad that hurts.

But you gotta face it

instead of drinking
yourself blind.

You know, you're
bringing these girls home

and you don't even
know their names.

I mean, usually, I don't
object to that. It's just...

It's part of a bigger pattern.

- Spending money.
- Why are you worried
about this?

Because you have zero income.

Correct?

And you're renting
this big place.

You're paying for Katie's house.

Emma's school.

Everywhere you go,
you pick up the check...

You're trying to drive
yourself into the ground, buddy.

I'm not gonna let you do it.

Lulu.

You are absolutely right.

I'm just fucking
spinning out, man.

I can't seem to catch a breath.

But those words of...

Honesty, that's what I needed.
You are a true friend. Thank you.

Listen, I know that
it's not your style.

I wish you'd come to
church with me sometime.

Like, someday, you know?

Just show up, and see if,
you know, maybe you didn't...

- Where are we?
- Can I borrow this?

What? No, no. Miles!

Fuck! Miles!

Miles!

[dog barking in distance]

Miles!

Miles!

[pop music playing]

- Hey.
- Anyone else home?

Oh, shit.

- No.
- Hello!

Security cameras?

- Do you have
any fucking security cameras?
- No.

No, no.

- What's your script about?
- Look.

I'll do anything you want, okay?

Okay, so, tell me
what your script's about.

It... It's a thriller.

Uh, set in Georgia.

It's a mix between The Exorcist
and Gone with the Wind. [grunts]

Fuck! Oh! Shit!

[groaning] Oh, shit.

Oh, God!

Wait...

Is this the fucking
wine I sent over?

You cheap...

Did you open this before
you had the police pick me up,

or did you save up for
this little celebration?

- Cunt.
- [bottle shatters]

[grunting]

Now, I'm not a Hollywood
blowhard like yourself.

I'm part of a much
bigger organization.

I get locked up, somebody
else is gonna pay you a visit.

And if you are lucky,
the visit will be quick.

You follow me?

[weakly] Yes.

Now, about that read
from Amy Adams...

Yeah, okay, I-I'll give
her the script, okay?

I-I'll tell her it's
a great project.

You are the only one
with the tenderness

and the inner
strength to pull this off.

- [stammers] Thanks.
- That's what you
fucking say to her!

Uh, fine. Yes, yes, yes.

Shit.

We should go.

- What the fuck did you do?
- I handled it.

What?

[dog barking in distance]

Lulu, all that stuff
that you were saying

about your church and what-not,

that was beautiful advice.

I'm gonna think on it.
