Pam & Tommy (2022): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript

- Tommy.

The tape.

- Fuck the police!

We'll get our own guy.

- Let me do some digging here.
Ah!

- Where the fuck
do I find this guy?

- He's not here.
Don't worry.

He'll turn up eventually.

Seattle.
Let me guess--webcams.

- Very good, yeah.
They say it's

the future of porn.



- And I would agree with them.

I love you so much.

There's a bunch
of camera guys sitting around

watching us have sex.

Do you have any idea
how humiliating it was?

You're being way too chill.

Every second that passes,
this tape could be spreading.

- Baby, we will get it back.

This'll all be fine!
- Hey, Tommy?

- You did the right thing
by coming in.

♪ ♪

Hey, gorgeous.

My God.
Just driving, baby.

Uh.



Fuck.
Look at my beautiful husband.

I love you!

- What's up?

What's up?
Whoo!

- Did he just honk a boat horn
with his penis?

- Yes, he did.

- The jokes,
they write themselves.

- He's never gonna go for it.
- Jay loves dick jokes.

He did two years straight
on Bobbitt.

- Do you think
it's too risqué or...

- Not too risqué.

Too obscure.

If Uncle Jim and Aunt Susie

in Duluth don't know about it--

- You do the shittiest Leno.

♪ ♪

- Come in.

- Got a sec?

It's all over town.

They're selling it online
through a website.

There's so many angles to it:
technology, celebrity, privacy.

- Are you pitching a story?
- Why not?

- The Los Angeles Times
is not doing a story

on a sex tape.

- A celebrity sex tape

that's being commercially sold.

- I'm confounded by what aspect
of this you consider news.

- It's totally news.
Nothing like this has ever--

- I'm sorry, Alicia.

You want to write a story
about Pam Anderson

having sex on a boat,

you're free to go write
for the National Enquirer.

- Oh, shit.
You have it?

He goes, "Are you sure
you don't want a stunt double?"

I'm like, "Hell no.

Put me on that motorcycle.
Let's go."

I mean, what choice do I have?

I mean, you try finding

a stuntman
that matches my measurements.

- It feels like you and Barb
have a lot in common.

- Yeah.
Well, no--well, I hope so.

I mean, she's kind of my idol.

- What would you say is your
favorite thing about her?

Oh, God.
Good question.

Um, I guess I would have
to say her...toughness.

- Yeah?
Yeah, you know, no matter

what life throws at her
and no matter how bad it gets,

she just...
fearlessly powers through.

- Do you feel like you
take after her in that way?

- I mean, not to pat myself on
the back or anything, but yes.

Definitely.

You know,
when something bad happens,

all I want to do is move on,

move past it, put it behind me,
you know?

- Does that usually
work out for you?

- Bad stuff happens, you know?

What's the point

- Oh, shit.

Tommy fucking Lee.

'Sup, brother?
Yo, big fan, man.

Ah, thanks, bro.

- Yo.
- Oh, that tape.

That's the best thing
you've put out

since "Girls, Girls, Girls,"
yo.

- "Girls, Girls, Girls."

That was 1987.

Yeah.
Yeah.

- And you think that's

the best thing I've done
in nine years?

- Oh, no. No, no.
- Sounded like you said--

- That's not what I meant.
- No, that's what you said.

You fuck!
- Hey, hey, hey!

You fuck!
Get off me!

Get off me,
you motherfucker!

- We start tonight
with the latest antics

from Motley Crue drummer
Tommy Lee.

The notorious bad boy rocker
got himself thrown out

of The Viper Room
early this morning

after getting into
an alleged altercation

with a pair of men
in the club's restroom.

Eyewitnesses said Lee,
the hubby of Baywatch babe

Pamela Anderson, appeared
to be highly intoxicated

as he was forcibly removed
from the infamous

Sunset Strip nightclub
by security personnel.

This is not helpful.

Everything he does
reflects on you.

If he is a train wreck, you are
a train wreck by association.

I understand.

- Classy A-list actresses
do not have this stuff.

You don't see Hard Copy doing
a story on Sandra Bullock's

husband getting tossed out
of The Viper Room.

- No.
No, I get it.

I'll talk to him.
It won't happen again.

- I hope not,
for your sake, Pammy.

What was it about anyway?

- Um...
- The fight?

What?

- Um, well, it's nothing.

Um...
- Pamela?

It's nothing.
It's nothing. It's--

- Is there something
I should know about?

Jesus.

- I mean,
it's super underground.

I mean,
barely anybody knows about it.

- How many copies
have they sold?

I don't know.

I mean, 20, 50.

Has anybody written
about it yet?

- Oh, you mean press?
No.

I don't think so.
You don't think?

- I mean, I haven't exactly
combed through newsstands.

Did you do a web search?
- No.

- A bunch of publications
are on there now.

Started, like,
three months ago.

The whole paper,
in computer form.

That's crazy.

Look, I mean, I--
I somehow doubt they're writing

about a sex tape.

- Maybe not
The New York Times.

Star Magazine
has a website,

National Enquirer,
USA Today.

You can search
through all of them at once.

Any mention of the tape from
any publication with a site.

- I can't look. I can't look.

All clear.
- Oh, God.

Thank God.
No news.

Just the links to the video.

- That's good.

Wait.

Links?

♪ ♪

Oh, no.

It's spreading.

There's a half dozen
different websites selling it.

- Well, maybe he's got
a bunch of fucking websites.

- With, um...different prices,

different addresses,
different cover art.

People are making copies.

- We'll figure it out, baby.
- "Figure it out."

Tommy, you just--

God,
you just don't fucking get it!

- Get what?
- It's too late!

Train's left the station.

- Okay,
so what do you want from me?

- What do I want?
I wanted you to handle it.

- Well, I did my best,
all right?

I did the best
I fucking possibly could.

You sure about that?

- What the fuck's
that supposed to mean?

- Maybe, on some level,
you wanted this to happen.

- Excuse me?
- Maybe you like the attention.

- That's insane.
- Yeah, or maybe you're scared.

- Oh, I'm scared.
- Yeah, of me.

You're scared of me
and my career!

- Oh, my God,
that's right,

'cause you're about to blow up,
right?

Right?
And I'm fucking your shit up.

And I'm scared
of getting left behind!

Oh, my God.
That is fucked up, Pamela.

That is seriously fucked up
that you would even--

even think that.

- I'm not saying
you'd do it on purpose.

- So then what, subliminal?
- Yeah, maybe.

- All I do is root for you!
I want you to be huge!

I want you to be the biggest
fucking movie star

in the entire fucking world.

- Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.

I fucking hope so.
- You hope so?

- Yeah.

- You hope so.
- Yeah.

- Jesus Christ.

The hottest toy this season

is something called
Tickle Me Elmo.

Apparently millions of children
are dying to get their hands

on the doll which gives off
a high-pitched giggle

when you touch it.

Children touch it,
and it giggles with glee.

I thought there was
already something that fit

that description:
Michael Jackson.

Funny, I think
we already did it, though.

What else?
Julia Roberts

and Lyle Lovett
are filing for divorce.

Apparently
the breakup is mutual.

Lyle wanted his freedom, and
Julia finally bought glasses.

- That's good. That's funny.
What else?

- A tape of Pamela Anderson
and Tommy Lee is going around

depicting the two of them
engaged in all sorts

of X-rated sex acts.

Pamela offered no comment
on the matter.

Not because she refused
but because she still

doesn't have the feeling back
in her jaw.

What tape?

- There's this sex tape.
It's all over the place.

- People are making copies
of it, playing it at parties.

- Oh, yeah, where?
In Laurel Canyon?

- Hey,
it's bigger than you think.

A lot of people know about it.

- Who knows about it?

Uncle Jim and Aunt Susie
in Duluth?

I mean maybe not them,
but--

But who?

Oh, cat's got his tongue.

All right,
let's come up with more stuff.

Come on, you guys are writers.

- It was stolen--the tape.

It was in a safe stolen
from their house.

It's not clear if whoever
took it was targeting the tape

or if they just happened
to stumble upon it,

but either way,
it was definitively stolen.

They did not want
this out there,

and they certainly
did not want it sold.

Speaking of which,
there's more

than the one site
selling it now.

Pirated copies are sprouting up
all over the web.

Wait, what?

- Fucking shit never ends.
Wait.

What are you talking about?

Mickey just called me,
and Donna's best friend

Kimberly was Penthouse
Pet of the Month last December,

and she heard from somebody
at the mansion

he's got ahold of it.

- Well, where did he get it?
- No idea, but all I know

is, we're suing the shit out
of him.

- Suing him for what?
- For what he's gonna do.

What's he gonna do?
- Um, if I had to guess,

fucking running pictures.

- What? No--from the tape?
I mean, think about it.

He'd do anything
to stick it to Hef,

and what better way than
running a bunch of porno shots

of Hef's golden girl,
Ms. Playboy herself?

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Maybe somebody just gave it
to him,

and he watched it,
that's it.

You know, he might not be
planning anything.

- I thought you were the one
that was obsessed

with shutting this shit down.

- I am, I am, I am.
God, I am.

I just--
come on, suing Penthouse

when we just--
we don't even--

- Let's just talk to a lawyer,
right?

Get a professional opinion.
- A lawyer.

Yeah.
Let's just see what they say.

Who knows? Maybe I'm wrong.

- Tommy's absolutely right.

This calls
for swift preemptive action.

We file an invasion
of privacy lawsuit

against Guccione
and the magazine

while simultaneously
requesting injunctive relief.

- Injunctive relief?
The judge makes sure

they don't publish
any images from the tape,

and if they defy
that order, then--

- We bring down
the shit hammer.

Okay,
um, yeah, but the tape,

it's stolen property.

I mean, wouldn't it be illegal

for him to run pictures
from it?

- You think that scumbag
gives a fuck about legal?

- He could always play
the First Amendment card.

Freedom of speech.
Freedom of the press.

- Totally, he loves that shit.

I'm just--I'm concerned.

- What--what--

what's your concern, Pamela?

- My concern is,

if he's not planning
to do anything and we sue,

he could suddenly decide
to do it to get back at us.

Plus, if we sue, it puts
all this attention on the tape.

It could turn it
into something way bigger

than it would have been,
and it kills off any chance

of the whole thing, you know,
staying underground

and just kind of fizzling out
on its own.

You know?

- Yeah.

You need to sue.
