Get Shorty (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - We'll Let You Know - full transcript

MILES: Previously
on Get Shorty...

I just need to get some sleep.

Oh, Miles isn't coming?

He definitely wants to be here.

It's his fucking job.

- (CAMERAS FLASHING)
- WOMAN: What's
wrong with him?

RICK: I told you
he's acting weird.

'Cause he's high.

You know, stay with him until
the red carpet. Keep an eye on him.

KISBYE: Help!

- Somebody, help me!
- (GUNSHOT)



It was an accident.

I never want to see you again.

Don't do that, Tia, please.

RICK: This was a
business partner from ours.

This was a lover.

We just want to make sure
that you're being looked after.

So this button here,

is a recording device.

Can I trust you?

Yeah.

Things you've
lost, gone forever.

Everything else,

all you have to do is clip.

(EXHALES SLOWLY)



MILES: Did Ginny
check out this morning?

Do you know her last name?

Yeah, I'm calling about
a novel you published.

Wilderness.

I'd like to know if the
film rights are available.

I'm a producer.

I have been apologizing to you

since the day we met.

But that's done.

And if you want to
go to war over our kid,

I will make it uglier than
you can fucking imagine.

CORTEZ: Tonight, new
details on the tragic death

of Max Kisbye.

As Showbiz Daily
starts right now.

Welcome to Showbiz Daily.

I'm Benny Cortez.

And I am Brooklyn
McGowan Hughes.

Did his demanding role in
the upcoming period romance,

The Admiral's Mistress,

lead to Max Kisbye's
desolate final days,

and the self-inflicted
gunshot wound

that ended his life?

We turned to Showbiz Daily's
own Dr. Pearl for the answer.

The details of Max
Kisbye's recent past

paint the picture
of a man in conflict.

We know from tabloid reports

he was just of rehab.

But then Kisbye jumps
right into the shoes

of a dark, brooding
character, "this is Kisbye,"

head down hours
before taking his own life.

Something has
taken a toll on him.

That something could be
his portrayal of Admiral Felton.

In a Showbiz Daily exclusive,

Kisbye's Admiral Mistress's
co-star David Oumou.

Spoke to me and
Benny about the tragedy,

and what it was like for David
being thrust into the spotlight.

Is it possible that his role
in The Admiral's Mistress

caused him to relapse and
that in turn led to suicide?

David's heartbreaking
answer in a moment.

But first, as speculation
over Kisbye's death grows,

anticipation for The
Admiral's Mistress

grows along with it.

And the actor's curtain call is
teed up to be a hit in theaters,

thanks to millions of highly
emotional Max Kisbye fans.

YAGO: Check it again.
What the fuck you looking at?

Yago. All right, man,
just check the list.

Check it again.

Sir, if you're not on
the list, I can't let you in.

Miles Daly and Louis Darnell.

Yo Miles, please tell this
puto with the list to let me in.

I got this.

What do you mean you got this?

Miles, just tell him.
Come on, man.

- Don't make a scene.
- Just a minute,

- I talk to her mama.
- Fucked up.

- Ed, come on, it's me.
- Some other time.

Do this for me, Ed.

Come on, man.
It's fucking me, Ed.

(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)

Ed.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

- This the buyer?
- (SIGHS)

- Answer.
- We probably

shouldn't do business here,
right. This man's funeral.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hey. Rick Moreweather.

Sammy. Sammy, yeah.

Well, I would. But I still
got offers coming in here.

- Hey.
- (WHISPERS) I got a buyer.

- Okay, good.
- Uh...

Well, is that your best offer?

Condolences, Amara.

And congratulations, since it
sounds like we're gonna sell the movie.

You don't come to premiere.

I was in a terrible
car wreck, Amara.

Maybe Louis mentioned it.

That's why I'm so banged up.

You seem okay.

Kind of you to say.

Look, I realize these
circumstances aren't ideal,

but it looks like we're gonna
recoup your investment.

Which is good.

I'm gonna grab some
coffee. You want anything?

All right, then.

I want cucumber.

Ah, how's that even a sandwich?

(SMIRKS)

So, I got reservations at four
different places for tonight,

- so that you can
pick your cuisine.
- Um...

- That's fun.
- Um...

And I'm fine with
whatever, though.

I'm more interested in dessert.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Yeah, yeah,
yeah. No, I'm just...

We're... We're still
taking bids. So just...

Yeah, give us your best number.

Okay, look forward
to it. Bye-bye.

Mr. Moreweather.

Oh, hey, David.
David, how you doing?

I wanted to apologize.

At the hotel you said
not to leave Max alone.

Oh, no, no. No, no.
Don't take this on.

I didn't realize
how serious it was

What are you gonna do? We...

We're gonna salute
his memory now.

That's all. And also,

his last appearance on screen

is gonna find a distributor.

So, wherever Max Kisbye is,

I'm sure he's gonna
be happy about that.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

So you'd, um...

He never said anything to
you about owning a gun?

No, not at all.

- Yeah.
- I didn't know about
his drug problem either.

Yeah. Yeah.

Did you think it
was kind of weird

the way it all went down?

- Definitely weird. Yeah.
- Yeah.

You didn't sense like he was

being pressured by anyone, or

threatened maybe by someone?

Hey! Hey!

David, you remember,
Louis, our writer?

Yeah, lovely to see you.

- Yeah.
- So you have
a theory about Kisbye?

I would love to hear that.

DAVID: What were you
saying? That he was pressured?

No, no. Theory is just...

No, it's hard to come to terms.

You know, he was so alive.

Now what, now
he's... I don't know.

Ah. We should go see him.

On behalf of all of us,

whose lives Max touched,

today we say goodbye
to an artist, a friend,

and all around great guy.

The world will long remember the youngest
child of Mildred and Terrence Kisbye,

as a talented and...

Sad day.

Terrible.

It seemed like
such a chirpy chop.

Not at the premiere apparently.

I heard you missed it.

I'm sure you had a reason.

Drove into a telephone pole.

Are you okay?

Your face.

- You should see
the telephone pole.
- Shh!

- About the other night.
- We don't have to
talk about it.

I was rude and unkind.

I felt bad I had to leave.

But I was rude.

You were.

I hope you can forgive me.

Wasn't a big deal.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

After my accident, I
ended up in this little motel.

Look what I found on the shelf.

Um... It's great, right?

- It's fucking inspiring.
- (CHUCKLNG)

And it will make
a brilliant movie.

Um...

I even called the publishers.

They tell me that the rights
have already been optioned

by you and your boss.

Yes, which is why
I was reading it.

I wasn't just reading to,

you know, read.

So are we too late?

There's a script but
it hasn't been set up.

I feel passionately that this
should be my next film, April.

I can see it. I can
see the platform...

- Miles!
- With this piece of...

- Can you just get me into
a room with your boss?
- It's dead!

(CLEARS THROAT)

I'm sorry.

Look, it's been to all the
studios, everyone passed.

It's too dark and weird.

Lawrence couldn't even
raise money privately.

So unless you have 30
million it's not gonna happen.

MAN: And telling
the world, "break it."

That's the Max Kisbye...

- Can you get me
a copy of the script?
- Shh!

- (WHISPERING) Miles,
it's a fucking eulogy.
- All right.

MAN: own path into
the hearts of millions.

May God bless Max Kisbye,

and may he rest
in eternal peace.

Max died

how he lived,

on his own terms.

Thank you.

Coroner's report isn't out,
but I'll give you a preview.

Well, I was telling my
wife about this room.

(CHUCKLING)

She says it goes
for 5 grand a night.

- (CHUCKLING)
- I can get a discount now.

But don't tell Jane that.

So, what do we got?

All right. Kisbye was here.

Took a shot to the
thigh at close range.

Possible he was pacing
with the gun and it went off.

If so, he was
holding them like this.

(CHUCKLES)

Second shot

is by the window.

Two inches behind the right ear,

slight upward angle.

Boy, you'd have to
be double-jointed.

When I tried to demonstrate it to
Greg earlier, I think I pulled something.

Well, we still have
surveillance to look at.

But for now let's go
with that assumption.

Go with...

That when Kisbye died there
was someone else with him

in this big ostentatious room.

Yeah.

GIRL: Here, here, here!

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

MAN ON VOICEMAIL:
Hi, thank you for calling.

There's a detail
message... Thanks.

Hi there. I don't know
who I'm calling, um...

My name is Miles Daly.

I got this number on
the back of an old photo.

Long story.

If you could give me a
call back I'd appreciate it.

I was hoping that someone might

shine some light on

anything, really.

I'm at 7751649835.

Thank you.

What's with the ribbon?

Lupus.

Helping organize
a walk to end it.

It's about time
someone ended it.

With a walk.

(SIGHS)

You still picking up
for pizza tomorrow?

I, uh...

I thought about what
you said the other night.

I get where you're
coming from, Miles. I do.

But I'm still asking
for full custody.

You weren't talking
about fighting this in court.

'Cause that wouldn't
go well for you.

Don't put me in that position.

(REFEREE BLOWS WHISTLE)

Eh. There she is.

Uh, my legs.

- (CHUCKLING)
- You gave it your all.

It's all that matters.

- That and winning.
- Yeah, good talk, Dad.

What happened to your book?

Ah, yeah, I got a bit wet,

I had to use a hair dryer on it.

It's gonna be my next movie,

if I can raise the money.

I have $8.

When can you get it to me?

What's it about?

It's a girl about your age

trying to survive
the apocalypse.

Yeah? Can I read it?

Yeah.

You take that. I'll
get another copy.

- Thanks.
- I'd love to know
what you think, actually.

It's a bookmark.

Okay. Time to go, Em.

I'll text you.

If I have time for her
to see you next week.

How generous of you.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Love you, shorty.

Love you, too.

You smell that?

Lapsang soushong.

Gladys got me into it, yeah.

(SNIFFING) Smells like bacon.

Amara wants you to put this on.

What?

She has a surprise for you.

And... No...

I'm not good with
things on my eyes. I...

I suck at pinatas...

I don't blame you, man.

But it's what she wants.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

- Good.
- Okay.

All right.

- Just get going.
- Okay.

All right.

Okay.

AMARA: Okay.

Surprise for my Ricky.

- You like it?
- Ooh!

Ooh.

That's a lot to like. So...

This is the surprise?

You sell my movie,

I want to get you
something nice.

65 jets.

It's like a cauldron.

Thank you.

You want to get in?

Not with the guys here.

Leave us.

Get undressed.

I'll wait till they're gone.

I want to make it nice for you.

So you don't need
to go to your house.

I mean, I hardly go home anyway.

Just to get the mail and...

Why don't you sell it?

(ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Sell... What? My house?

You don't need it, huh?

You're with me.

Well,

I mean, the market's
a little soft right now.

(INCREASES VOLUME)

Breaking out the hair gel. Ooh.

Yeah, well.

Hanging out with Gladys, so

I thought I got
the extra distance.

So it's the fate of my
unborn child is at stake.

Lovely. So, listen,
I spoke with April.

Oh, yeah? Oh, about the book?

It's good news, Lou.

So her boss is gonna
make it into a movie,

but we can still get in on it.

You and me, man.

- Make our next feature.
- Huh! No shit.

They even have a script.

I read her on my phone. It is...

Everything I was
hoping it would be it.

It's beautiful and dark,

and different than all the
other shite out there. It's...

It looks... Which is probably
why the studio turned it down.

Which studios?

All of 'em.

So...

Did I tell you about this girl
that I met at the motel I was at?

She was into crystal healing.

(CHUCKLING) Oh,
man, people like that.

She told me the past is over,

and the future is
right in front of us.

All we have to do is
reach out and grab it.

Yeah, that's bullshit.

No, no, no. See it's not.

- Oh, crap. I thought...
- 'Cause then

I find this book on a shelf.

Turns out it's fucking brilliant.
I mean, what are the chances?

Like, it was just sitting there

waiting for me to pick it up.

Right.

So, what are you saying?

Amara doesn't have the 30
million to make this movie.

So who does?

Who's in the same business

on a bigger scale,

who cleans 30 million
on a regular basis.

Well, I mean, there's LA, but...

Fuck no!

They got hundreds of
shell companies, Lou.

They got bars and
laundromats and...

They take people
out with chainsaws!

There's an upside
and a downside, yes.

But I love that you're
feeling all inspired.

I am.

But advice from a hippie

from some motel

isn't necessarily good advice.

I... I got to run.

What we do is risky, Lou.

This is just a next step.

I... I work for
Amara for a decade.

I never got so much a paper cut.

Couple of months of
producing movies, I got shot

five times. Look, look,
see these? These?

Are movie scars.

And I feel shite about that.

We don't know
anybody who's with LA.

Yes, we do.

From what I hear he's...

- He's been running with them.
- Who's that?

Yago.

I know how it sounds.

I do. Lou,

if you just hear me out, I've got a
fucking plan, when you hear the...

(DOOR SLAMS)

Hey, man. I don't
mean to get on you,

but dishes don't be
washing themselves.

I got some girls
coming by later.

Are you going clubbing?

(CHATTING ON TV)

Yeah, I get it.

Wouldn't look good to
be seen with me right now.

Right?

You know, my Tia
should be kissing my ass.

If it wasn't for me,
Kisbye would still be alive

and that fucking
movie wouldn't be shit.

Yeah? Well, someone
should tell her.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING ON TV)

You ever thought
about your own funeral?

Who would show up.

What they would say.

Are you okay, man?

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

(YAWNING)

Tired?

No, not at all.

I yawn when I get nervous.

Why are you nervous?

I'm not nervous, nervous just...

Not about our date.

We've hung out before.

Well, not since we got married.

Oh, I'm not supposed
to say that word.

- Sorry.
- Is this about sex?

Are you nervous 'cause
we can have sex now?

Oh, come on, it's so sweet.

Should we have sex before
we go and get it over with?

Yeah, that'd work.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(ELEVATOR DINGS)

Ms. De Escalones.

Thank you for waiting.

I pay you in three days.

Yes, I head.

And let me be the first to say

we appreciate you
clearing your debt.

You sent product,
yes? Twice a week.

There's been discussion internally
about your history of late payments.

It's not personal.

It's a liability issue
for my organization.

- What issue?
- Moving forward,

we require an additional
5% of gross earnings.

This a joke?

It is not.

5%?

You like fucking with me, eh?

I didn't reach this
decision alone.

My feelings have
nothing to do with it.

Congratulations on
your return to solvency.

Eat shit.

Oh, and for obvious reasons,

we need you to pay upfront.

(SCREAMING)

(PANTING)

Ever had an orgasm before?

I didn't have them
when I was awake.

I mean, the whole...

Moving thing, that just takes
it to a whole another level.

- It does, right?
- Yeah.

Let's not take soaking
off the menu though.

It's salty.

That surfing accident
did a number on you.

Well, it's... Where
I was surfing

had big waves and
rocks. Lot of rocks.

Hmm.

Do scars bother you?

I like a man with scars.

(SIGHS) So, you
still want to go out

or should we just, you know,

cozy in for the night?

What?

It's just... If we were
regular dating, which we are,

you wouldn't expect
to spend a night.

You're right.

Yep. You're right.

Yeah, we'll just,

you know, grab dinner tomorrow.

I can't tomorrow. I got a date.

How can you have a date?

- We're...
- Dating!

And if we're dating

this is way too
early to be exclusive.

Well, I just kind
of, sort of thought

that maybe, you know,
since we're married...

We don't say that word!

Well, I guess since you're
going on a date, I'll just go home.

GLADYS: Okay.

Had an awesome time tonight.

Okay. Well,

hope you and my baby
have fun on your date.

Mmm.

Let's get another, I've
got a fellow joining me.

I got you your usual.

So you wanna laugh at my face?

That's what this is.

Hey.

Amara is none too fond
of me at the moment either.

She doesn't know we're talking?

No.

So I'd rather not shout.

Maybe you could sit down.

I'm making another movie.

Good for you.

It needs to be
privately financed

like I did with Amara.

But we need more than
Amara can contribute.

So?

How close are you with LA?

(CHUCKLING)

Oh, shit.

You want me to
make an introduction?

That's funny.

Can you do it?

Can I? Of course I can.

But I won't.

Why is that?

Because fuck you.

That's why.

Well, thanks for
clearing that up.

You know, everybody thinks

that blazing clipper
got taken out by LA.

But you, you know
what really happened.

(SIGHS)

You wanna know what I think?

I think Amara didn't like the idea of
you and your buddies stirring up trouble.

She might not harm
you, but the other two?

Well...

So you gonna put the
whole thing on my Tia.

I don't know.

Do I?

All I can do is speculate.

You think I'm suggesting
we become best buds?

Go to the fucking day spa
together and get our hair braided?

This is business.

You are a good businessman.

I've seen that.

Fuck it. If you're
not interested

I'll find someone who is.

(INHALES DEEPLY)

If... If I decide to do it...

What do I get?

Amara can't know
you're involved.

But if everything goes to plan,

you get what she gets.

While you're
thinking it all over,

please try that drink,
it's fucking delicious.

(SIGHS)

Stetson or campaign?

MAN: Well, Campaign
goes with the uniform.

I know.

Except I look
like a park ranger.

So, Stetson.

Also there's two
feds in the hallway.

What?

The Bureau is descending
on Santa Barbara.

Just us two. I'm Agent Dillard.

Agent Stevenson.

- Okay.
- So what's this about?

Well, your department
was kind enough

to share information.

Excellent police work.

And with a lot of
media watching.

Well, I'm just a
dog with a bone.

And we know you're
planning to go public?

It could be a 187,

so we're gonna put that
out, see what we get back.

Sheriff, we would be honored
to work with you on this.

- With the Bureau?
- Not that you need our help.

Obviously.

But if we could, um,

trust you with a big
Uncle Sam secret,

this is a part of a larger
federal investigation.

So, until we can make it air-tight
and prove there's a homicide,

which I have no
doubt you will do.

Till then, we can't
alert the media.

Oh, shit.

Ah, well, but I'm
afraid you're a little late.

We have a news
conference in less than...

- We called it off.
- Yeah.

So you don't have to worry.

And can I say.

- Yeah.
- That is a great hat.

Yeah.

MILES: Yeah, all of that.

On one level it's a thriller
with action and all that.

But it's got deeper meaning.

Like you can watch it two or three
times and always find something new in it.

Hey, wait a minute.
You got financing ready?

Yeah, I know how to get it.

But it's not from Amara.

She'll be a producer.

Who's giving you 30 million?

A private investor.

Who? Who are they?
What business they in?

They have a portfolio and different
sources of income and what-not.

Yeah? How do you know them?

They do some
business with Amara.

Look,

Amara's gonna wanna be involved.

And when she finds out that
someone else is financing,

that's when you come in.

All you need to do is tell her

she can be an executive producer

and wouldn't have
to invest a penny.

Well, you tell her that.

She, uh, she trusts
you, doesn't she?

Yeah.

So these investors,
they're friends of Amara's?

- Not friends.
- Associates.

Huh. Like her, but
just on a bigger level.

What we did with
the Admiral's Mistress,

no different than that.

You know what, I
would do this. I would.

But I got projects of my own now

that I'm dealing with and
I'm not gonna have time.

Remember what you told me.

You said it's good to
have irons in the fire.

- I don't think I said that.
- Yes, you did.

I don't think I did.
But anyway, look,

you and me, we'll do something
but not this, okay? I got to go.

Why don't you hold on to that?

Just, uh, think it over.

Good seeing you.

I'll be calling you, Rick.

Yeah. Well, don't
judge a book by its cover

- unless you have a tremendous
instinct about book covers.
- He's offering one year.

Anything under 18 months
is throwing money away.

Stephen Frears.

Yeah.

Hey, how's your
first week going?

Getting all settled in?

Yeah, I was actually just

- getting used...
- Have I mentioned
Steven Frears?

Okay. Well, explain the
ramifications of an Oscar

to your client and call me back.

All right. Okay, ciao.

- Benicio.
- Let's get his stuff on
a hundred days.

- Amelo.
- Um, tell him happy birthday.

- Clock is ticking
for Fireman's Ball.
- No.

We don't want him spooked.

Prune?

- I'm good. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
- Mmm-hmm. Have a seat.

April Quinn.

Is that Irish? It's
anglicized from O'Cune?

Yes, it is, actually.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

So.

Yes. Um... I wanted to
update you on Wilderness.

I know it's a tough
one to set up.

- Yeah, pass that.
- And not just...

Talk with Gillian Flynn, our galleys
drop tonight at 10:00. Read 'em.

And let me know if we
should get the rights.

Wow! Yeah, I love Gillian Flynn.

I'll call you midnight.

- Okay.
- Oh, right, cool director.

Marlin, can you give me
contents people, please.

Yes.

Sorry. It says the
book is 600 pages.

You want me to read
that in two hours?

Yes, I do.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah, Naomi.

That's yours.

Mmm... Pizza from the
Target in Paramount.

- I think it's better.
- (CHUCKLING)

- (PHONE RINGING)
- Huh!

Yeah.

Hi yourself.

How was your date?

Ah. Just drinks.

Had a seltzer, date was...
Whatever. You want to come over?

Oh, so, your
date didn't go well,

so I'm the backup.

I just waltz over whenever
you want me there.

What if I'm on a date?

- So, you're not coming over?
- No, I'm coming over now.

Unbelievable.

(DOOR CLOSES)

He has a girlfriend?

He's complicated.

I'm halfway through Wilderness.

- Already? What do you think?
- I love it.

Know when they were
hiding in the underpass?

Ask Mom, I was shrieking.

Shrieking is good, is it?

That reminds me
of The Six but better.

- What's that?
- Western.

You never heard of it?

Okay, well, it's
about this girl.

These guys kill her family.

So she teams up with a soldier.

- Um...
- And then they...

No spoilers.

- What's it called The Six?
- Yeah.

Yes! Let's watch it.

Oh wait, there won't
be time to finish.

Unless you sleep over.

Mom okay with that?

Do you wanna stay?

- Yeah.
- Then let's call her.

Okay.

VOICEMAIL: Hi, this is
Katie. I'm not in right now,

- so leave a message.
- Voicemail.

- Okay.
- (BEEPING)

Hey, it's me.

So, I'm with Dad, and
we're about to watch The Six.

So, can I please stay over so
that we can finish watching it?

Okay, I love you. Bye.

I'll drop her at
school in the morning.

You have some time off.

Enjoy a night on
your own for once.

I know you wanna get to the
biz. But I got to show you this, eh?

Oh, shit!

Oh, shit!

Ooh. Ooh-whoo!

Yow!

- You own a cobra, doc.
- Na, na, na, na,

I keep a cobra, all right.

Nobody owns a cobra.

- Yo, what's his name?
- Nick.

Nick, that's a great name, Nick.

- Ooh.
- It's a lot of work though.

Get this nigga live mice.

That's an exotic
ass pet, you know.

It's not really sanctioned
by the city, but,

you know, if you want one

I got a dude who
could hook you up.

Oh, shit. I mean, I'm staying
on my man rasta's couch,

but cobra would be fucking sick.

So what's that business
prospect you have?

I'm about to let you now.

Go ahead and take a picture
of this beautiful motherfucker.

Chemistry between
the leads is good.

- They were dating on set.
- Go on.

They're broken up now, but there
are pictures of them on his boat.

Uh-huh.

I like how the girl
narrates the story.

We could do that in Wilderness.

That's what made me think of it.

See it all through her eyes.

(MESSAGE ALERT)

You said you'd bring
her home after dinner.

- We decided to watch a movie.
- No.

You don't just decide.

It was Emma's idea.

- Why do I have to
justify everything?
- Are you trying to revoke me?

Is what this is?

Last year I felt so guilty,

I let you make the rules.

Random fucking rules.

She can't sleep at my
place. I can't pick her up...

Do you want this to go to court?

(SIGHS)

You're so sure you're
on the right side of this.

So call the cops.

Tell them that you have
no custody agreement,

and that your daughter is
spending the night at her dad's place

for the first time in months,

and see what they say.

Alternatively, come on in.

Ask Emma how she feels.

I really hoped that we could
do this by trusting each other.

Clearly I was wrong.

Clearly you were.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

- Yeah.
- YAGO ON PHONE: It's done.

Can you be more specific?

You got a sit down tomorrow.

As in a couple of
hours from now?

Yeah, my boy came through.

Listen, you better be ready.

These people are about business,

so you got to be the fucking
monopoly man in there.

MILES ON PHONE: Well done Yago.

Where do you expect?

Mmm?

Your date is missing out.

I shouldn't have told you.

Measured him more like a guy.

Guys lie more than girls.

Uh, I'm thinking about Rick.

The way he... No,

I shouldn't talk about this.

I mean, it's just us girls.

Rick keeps disappearing at work.

You know, acting squirrelly.

Squirrelly how?

A woman calls,

unknown number.

Says it's his dentist.

And bam, he's out the door.

- This has happened
more than once?
- Totally.

He's gone for hours and then

he comes back with
this story about his tooth.

(CHUCKLING) You
think he's having an affair?

Think he was acting
funny at the memorial?

- The memorial?
- Mmm.

I don't know.

It's always the same woman?

Yeah.

And then we got a card in
the mail from his real dentist

saying that he's overdue.

- Hmm.
- So, he's not getting
his teeth cleaned.

He is getting his pipes cleaned.

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Amara.

All right if we come in?

It's not a great time,

I've got the kid
asleep upstairs.

We'll be quiet.

Miles.

All right.

It's just the kid's a
light sleeper, so...

How old is she?

She's 13.

That's so young.

Wilshire Pizza Company.

Man, I head that's the shit.

If anyone would like a
slice, I could heat some up.

You live good, eh?

Sit.

You work for me?

My understanding, we
have an arrangement.

You work for me, yes or no?

Yeah.

But all you do is make a movie.

No collections.

Just one movie.

Plan was I bring projects to you,
you decide if you want to be involved.

You only just made
back your investment.

Tell me about...

- What is it?
- MGM.

Tell me about MGM.

You heard I had
a film with them.

Well, I heard,
guy at the funeral.

And you told her. Well, I'm
glad that everyone's in the loop.

You don't tell me.

What Ross here

fails to realize,

despite him clearly having his
finger on the pulse of Hollywood,

is that I'm no longer
pursuing that project, Amara.

I found something much better.

I was going to tell you when
we were a little further along.

Tell me now.

Is it true that LA is
charging more for product?

Who said that?

It's not a secret, is it?

For those of us
who work for you.

What's your point?

What if we tell LA that we can
clean 30 million of their money?

No fee.

We use that to produce a movie.

You get a cut of the profits.

You risk nothing.

And you make money off them.

It's called Wilderness.

What kind of pizza?

(SMIRKS) Um...

Pepperoni.

I don't like it cold.

I can heat it up for you.

Then we talk.

(SIGHS)

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

Whatever you have to say, say
it fast. I have to read five pages

a minute for the next 45
minutes. A very small-time.

MILES ON PHONE: That's
a page every 12 seconds.

Yes, you see my dilemma.

Hey, that book that
we talked about,

could I ask you to take
it off the table for me?

That $30 million?

I just might. I'll call you.

We could be working
together again, April.

How exciting for you.

You still there?

You should get
back to your reading.

By the time we hang up you'll
have cost me three-and-a-half pages.

Good...

- bye...
- Okay, fuck off.

RICK: Yeah, he's going
on and on about this

book and what a good
movie it would make.

He says he already
has investors.

I say, "who?"

And Miles said, "We're
gonna do it just like the last one

"which means laundering cash."

And I say, "No, thank you."

(CHUCKLES)

All right? I mean, I
don't need that again.

Laundering Amara's cash?

No, that's the best
part. Not Amara.

Some larger organization.

Probably the cartel.

Right? Capileri or
whatever you told me.

Did he mention the cartel?

No, he didn't. But that
what it sounded like.

I mean, look, we only made
our money back on our last film

because of what
happened to Max Kisbye.

Uh... (SIGHS)

Jesus Christ, right? Poor Max.

You think he killed himself?

Okay, that's a loaded
question. I'm... Look, I'm not

accusing Amara. Why would
she do that? Why would she want

him dead? This
star of her movie.

- Mmm-hmm.
- Nobody knew
it would sell the film.

If she knew that

- then she's
a criminal mastermind.
- Rick,

we're gonna need you to
work with Miles on that project.

What?

We're gonna need you to say yes.

No.

I understand your reluctance

- after everything
you've been through...
- No, you don't understand!

I talked to my
superior at the Bureau,

I briefed him on all you
have endured, your bravery...

- The ingenuity?
- Yes,

and how lovely you are to work with.
That you've gone above and beyond.

That's right. Above and beyond.

That's right. And now I'm done.

That's not how it works.

She wants me to sell my house.

STEVENSON: We know.

You know.

You know. You're sitting there
and taking notes. You don't know.

This is my life.

Okay. Let's switch places

and she can sell
your fucking house.

Every... Every time
you tell me just...

Just a little bit more
and then I'm out.

And now... Now,
this week you're just

moving the goal line again.

I'm not gonna spy on the
cartel. I'm not gonna do it.

It's not enough you're gonna get me
killed, you're gonna get me tortured,

- then killed?
- Oh, we're not gonna let

anything happen to you.
We are using all our resources

- to ensure your absolute...
- Well, thank you for that.

- But I am out.
- Okay, let's stay calm.

I'm done, okay?
Don't call me. All right?

Good luck with your
case and the next case.

- You should probably
lower your voice.
- You know what?

I want my real jacket back.

'Cause the ones that you
give me? Cheaply made.

See? Right there.
Look, loose threads.

Take some time. Cool down.
When you're ready, you...

(CAR BEEPS)

You can sit right over here.

My name is Rafael, if
there's anything that you need.

All right. I'm good.

An espresso?

Rafael, that would be great.

We'll be right with you.

No worries.

Hey.

Good morning.

We'll be good now.
Why don't you start?

Well, I don't know what
you've been told about why...

We know what you're
proposing. We need specifics.

Okay. Um...

Well, I did some research and...

Turns out more money moves
through the Hollywood film industry

than moves through all the
casinos on the Vegas strip combined.

So, for an operation
like yours...

We know the financial side,

and what you did for Amara.

- Okay.
- We're in LA.

We know the
entertainment business.

And as far as we can tell,

you would have lost
Amara's investment

if one of your actors
hadn't made headlines.

By dying. (CHUCKLING)

You should that every
time you make a film.

Yeah but this, uh...

This will not lose money.

It's from a book,

uh, which has won
all kinds of awards.

What's the story?

It's uh...

(SMIRKS)

I... I was told we were gonna
talk finances. So I'm not...

But yeah, it's about a girl

who's trying to find a better...

Uh... It's... It's also about,

um...

I'm gonna start over.

Mmm.

There's been a
breakdown of society.

And we it all through
the eyes of this

13-year-old girl.

She comes across a man

- who's horribly wounded.
- Can I look at the script?

Yeah.

The girl and this stranger,

they don't trust each other.

But they stay together

to fight off the
gangs and the thieves

and, you, know, the cannibals.

But it's not about
all that stuff. It's...

It's about more than that.

- A metaphor.
- For what?

- That if we work together...
- Let him answer.

It's about being
tough on the outside,

while you try not
to lose yourself.

It's about what we hold on to

if anything is to have meaning.

It's about how hard it is
to love another person.

And the life that we are
leaving for our children.

It's really something.

That's all the time we have.

We'll let you know.

Um...

Should I leave the script?

- Hello, again.
- Hey.

Do you have parking
that needs validating?

(SIGHS) Yeah.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Hey.

What?

Lost your voice?
You want to come in?

Okay.

What's... What's
up? What's with the...

Harpo Marx routine?

Freaking me out.

Stan Getz. Yeah.

Yeah, he's one
of my... Oh, really?

You're gonna put
that on right now?

Well...

(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

What are you doing?

Hey, buddy.

Ah, there it is.

Sorry about that.
We have to talk.

Okay.

All right. You wanna
turn that down?

Did you go to work today?

Yeah. Yeah, why?

Gladys said you never showed.

You checking up on
me? I went to work.

I didn't go to the office.

I worked at Amara's.

Did you go out?

Why?

Just asking. Did you go out?

Went to the dentist, yeah.

Tooth in the back,
it's fucked up.

Who is in the SUV?

What?

You heard me.

Are you following me now?

Come on. Those guys,
they're old friends of mine.

Who do they work for?

Stay away from me. Stay
away! Stay away from me.

Stay away from me! Shit! Help!

Help! Shit! Shit!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(GUNSHOT)

(GRUNTS)

You shot me?

(GRUNTING) No!
