The L.A. Complex (2012): Season 2, Episode 7 - Half Way - full transcript

Previously on The I.A Complex...

You had a threesome
with the Donovan twins?

You can't tell anybody

- because we will all get fired.
- Okay.

This a family
show, family values.

There seems to
be another twosome

developing in our threesome.

The threesome is over!

Celebrity halfway house -
there's an opening on the show.

I think you should do it.

I get it.
The show needs a bitch.



It's just...
It's not gonna be me.

I'm recasting myself.

If you wanna get cast
as a bad boy,

you have to start pissing people off.

Who is that-an ex-boyfriend?

My husband.

And earned
my begrudging respect.

How's my rent money coming?

We're working on it.

You know what?
We quit!

We needed that job!
I hate you!

Simon!

We can't afford both of you,

so whoever's not funny
enough I'll just fire.



Who? Infinite Jest.

Him and his crew
are all over YouTube.

Let's go right now, you and me.

I think I'm ready to change too.

So which direction
do you wanna go?

It's okay...

It's okay.

I better go.

No, no, no.

Okay, we don't have
to do anything.

I'll see you
at the mission later.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning!

Wow. This looks...

What's going on?

I don't get it.

It's tradition.

It's... what?

As I understand it,
before an execution,

you give a man a conjugal visit,

his last meal and a smoke.

Execution?

You...

Today's the day.

Scott chooses which one of us
is gonna get cut loose.

And you think-dead man walking.

Don't let it get cold.

2x07
- Half Way -

Can you pass these down.

- Here.
- Thank you.

What're all these for?

Uh, this one makes you big,

this one makes you small,

and I think this one
breaks the matrix.

They're supplements,
and they're good for you-

both of you.

Yes, mother.

Here. Don't forget about these.

Hey! You too?

I was wondering why you seemed
so naturally un-anxious.

Okay, I'm gonna take a shower

and get ready for my
meeting at Dreamworks.

Um, Lydia's not coming today -
can you get the dishes, Eric?

I'm all over it.
You're washing, kid.

- Why should I?
- Respect for your elders.

Plus, I got dishpan hands.

We gotta get
some groceries later.

These sides are
pretty good, hey?

Some really funny stuff in there.

It's nice that Cam's gonna
film the audition for us.

You like him - him and Kevin?

Aren't they sweet?

So, what, you giving me
the silent treatment?

Can you just look
at me for a second?

Simon, I'm sorry
you don't agree with me

pulling you from
the show yesterday,

but I still think
it was the right-

let's just do this.

And then Paul looks to Eban
and Eban's like...

Please don't say marbles!

Yeah, that's hilarious!

Put that on the board for sure!

Oh... oh wow.

Okay, uh... I need...
I need fifteen minutes.

Okay, everybody take a break.

Nick! Come over here!
You gotta check this out.

Look at that.

Right?

What? That's...
Right?

I don't think she'd want you
showing me that.

Oh, she would not.

I'm gonna get some air.

What is that even about?
Is that...

Yeah.

- Which way is that even...
- That's her upside down??

Hi.

I just wanted to check in on you

and make sure you were okay.

Well, I've been better.

I can't believe how brutal
Ricky was yesterday.

Yeah.

This whole thing's
been pretty rough.

It's just dredging up
a whole bunch of things

I haven't thought about in years.

Yeah, I hear ya.

I hardly slept last night.

I had this nightmare
my mom came into my room

and she started strangling me

'cause I wasn't making
enough money.

God.

She used to beat
the crap out of me

when I was a kid...

Then my voice broke, and...

The jobs dried up, and...

She just stopped paying
attention to me altogether.

Wow.

I thought I had
unsupportive parents,

but I have never been
through anything like that.

Sorry, I didn't mean to just...

Like unload on you like that.

Oh, no, no, no. It's okay.

Don't be sorry.

You're gonna get through this.

You know, I feel like
you're the only one here

who actually really cares.

Well, I don't
know if that's true...

She's good.

Hey! I think we're
gonna get started again.

What's wrong?

Do you have any idea
how hard it is

to be a girl-comedian
in this city?

I- what?

Do you know how many times
I've called around,

trying to get up and perform
just to be told,

"hey, we already have
a girl tonight,

maybe some other time"

they ever tell you that?

Well, no, I mean-

like I finally get
some momentum going,

and then this thing comes up

and I look around
and I realize...

I'm the only lady-writer
in the room,

and I think, "great",

there's no way they're gonna
fire the only girl on staff,

"I'm safe for sure"

yeah, and you're gonna get it.

Yeah, you really think
he's gonna pick me

over his new whoring buddy,
Nick Wagner?

Oh, that's got nothing
to do with it.

It doesn't?
Then why do you go?

'Cause you love whores so much?

- Hey, wait a minute
- Scott, is the exact reason

why there are no women
writers in late night.

This is stupid, okay?
He hasn't even chosen yet!

You're getting so angry
about losing a job

you're probably gonna get.

Come on, so let's go back in

'Cause otherwise we're
both gonna get fired.

God, girls are so sensitive.

Ow! Sorr-hi!
Ow! Sorry.

Sorry.

Hey... hey.

Could I talk to you
for a second?

Uh, could we maybe do it later?

I just want to apologize
for what happened yesterday

- Okay.
- And...

Okay.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Why don't you just
take out an ad in variety?

I wasn't...

Hey, listen, I just think
that we should talk about it-

I don't want to talk
to you, Abby, okay,

especially here.

Okay, Laura,
Brandon and I didn't...

I-I'm really sorry.

Did you really think
you could just apologize

and we'd be cool again?
Is that what you thought?

Are you insane?
You're a monster, Abby,

and I never wanna
talk to you again.

I'm gonna do everything
in my power

to get you fired from this show.

Ricky!

Hey!
What're you doing in here?

Oh! Did you...?
You wanna come on in?

No. That's gross.

I've run out of places
to talk to you of the record,

and I think I've come up
with a way for you

to rattle that Zach kid.

Oh, okay.

If you go hard
at him about his mom,

he's gonna freak!

Look, I think that's a bit harsh

coming at the kid about his mom.

He has some legitimate
problems there-

oh, come on! We're all here
for the same reason,

and it's to get famous again.

If he wanted to get well,

he wouldn't be doing it
on television.

Hey! The plan was you were
gonna be the Alpha

who breaks people down

and I was gonna be
the warm friend

who puts them back
together again.

I'm all for being the Alpha,

but I don't wanna be
seen as a bully, okay?

Nobody likes bullies.

I think what
we're doing is fine-

you know what?
Stop thinking, honey.

It's never been
your strong suit.

His issues are gonna rise
to the surface anyway -

you can either let Andrea
exploit them

or you do it yourself.

No, you listen to me.

I am not gonna attack
another child star unprovoked

because I will look
like a douche.

He has gotta come at me

and then I get to be like,
"whoa, whoa!"

And then I'm just
defending myself.

- Yeah!
- No!

He's gotta instigate.

What makes you think Zach

is ever gonna instigate
anything?

I dunno, thinking's
not my strong suit.

Listen, you wanna
pick up the pieces

after I tear them down,

then this is the way
it's gotta be.

He's gotta come at me, okay?

That wasn't the plan.

It is now.

And... Action!

"But you're not alone."

You've got God
and you've got me,

"and you can always talk
to either one of us."

And cut!

Thank you.
Let's check that!

Do you have a second?

Thank God, I thought you were
gonna freeze me out too.

Laura is being a complete-

you need to stay away
from her, okay?

You need to stay away
from both of us.

Why?
Just because we-

There's no "we" anymore, Abby.

There's no "we""

- We can't even be friends?

No. Listen, if we're doing
a scene together,

we say our lines, we be
professional about it,

and that's where it ends,
all right? I'm sorry.

She's trying to get me fired!
Could you at least just-

Just stay away from her.
Stay away from both of us.

I don't know
what else there is to say.

I'm sorry.

Brandon!

- Hello?
- It's Stohn. We've got a problem.

My client was brutally beaten
and publicly disgraced

at a social gathering-

That he wasn't invited to.

Let him finish.

A social
gathering at Mr. King's home,

and not only did your client
do nothing

to stop the violence-

The hell I'm supposed
to do to stop the violence?!

But according to multiple
signed eye-witness depositions,

he actually encouraged it.

My client is seeking
one million dollars in damages-

For what?! A couple punches?!

It's called
pain and suffering, bitch!

Shut up!

However, we are offering
Mr. King a one-time chance

to settle this matter
out of court.

Oh, what do you have in mind?

Two hundred thousand dollars
and no one ever has to know.

- Let me confer with my clie-
- No deal.

I suggest you take a
moment with your counsel, sir-

Entering and occupying
someone's residence

without their permission...

What the California
penal code call that?

Trespassing.

And if someone's trespassing
on my property...

Well, the property owner
has the right

to use "reasonable force."

Look at the size of my client, Mr. King.

Do you honestly think
the force was reasonable?

Hey!

And that's your argument?

Be real, man, your client
doesn't want this to go public.

Why not?

I ain't got nothin' to hide!

- No?
Mm-mm.

Didn't you get your ass whuped
pretty bad by my crew?

Allegedly!

And you want
the public to know that?

And you're trying to settle
this beef through litigation?

It's not a good look for you, bra.

Man, I don't give a damn
what people think -

you're the one with the rep
to protect.

Maybe I should start doing
some digging in your life,

and see what I come up with.

Hold up.

Look, kid,
I ain't scared of you,

I ain't intimidated by you,

don't know you, don't like you,

don't care about you.

I don't even think about you

unless you're right
in front of me...

And even here,

your lawyer's got better
verbal skills than you do.

Hell, you want a record deal?

So sue me, chump.

I won't even feel it.

Okay, I'll be back later
this afternoon.

What're you doing?

Did you know these were in here?

Uh-huh.

The three of us should
have a games night.

Eric's not
staying another night.

What? Why?

Um, I'm telling
him he has to leave

as soon as I get back
from this meeting.

I hope this isn't because of me.

'Cause I really don't mind
him being here.

No, no, no.
It's not because of you.

I've just been
down this road with him

way too many times.

He wants to get better this time.

Yeah, and he wanted to get
better last time too.

That one ended with his car

at the bottom
of my swimming pool.

There's no getting better with Eric.

There's just the calm
before the storm.

But he has nowhere else to go.

Yeah. You ever wonder
why that is?

Why do you care?

I don't know...

I like him. I just...

Just let him stay
a couple more nights.

I think that I can
get through to him.

Okay.
A couple more nights.

I hope you're okay
with disappointment.

And then Paul finally announces
he's entering rehab

because he's become
addicted to the Clark bars

and sadly, they've only furnished him

with a week's supply.

Nice, nice.
Excellent.

Great, man. Yeah.

I thought this product
placement thing

was gonna kill us, but Nick...

In with the save!

Nice work, buddy.

It's uh...
Actually, it was...

Sabrina and I were thinking
about a similar bit.

It's kinda both of our idea.

Oh... okay.
Uh, nice work, guys.

Uh, no, it wasn't.

What?
Yeah, it was.

I don't want credit
for your lame jokes.

You can keep 'em
to yourself, thanks.

Okay!
Well, whoever's idea it was,

I liked it.

Let's get Paul in here,
see what he thinks.

Hey!
We're ready for you.

Okay! Quick scene.

Let's get it done, chief, okay?

Roll 'em!

And... action!

"I love you, Veronica.
How can you not feel that?"

The line, Abby, come on!

Sorry, sorry.

From the top, again!
Let's go!

Action!

"I love you, Veronica.
How can you not feel that?"

"This whole thing has just
really scared me."

Scarred!
The line is scarred!

Scarred. Scarred.
The line is scarred.

From the top! Again! And...

Action!

"I love you, Veronica.
How can you not feel that?"

Come on,
Brandon, give her a real kiss, man!

From the top, please!

Keep rolling...

Action!

"I love you, Veronica,
how can you not feel that""

"this whole thing has just
really scared me."

Come on!
Are you freaking kidding me?!

Cut!

I know what you're doing!

You don't think I know
what you're doing?!

I will crucify you!
Do you hear me, bitch?

- I will crucify you.
- Laura, shut up!

You shut up!

Guys! Donald is watching!

He has a feed in his office.

Yes? Yes, sir.

Of course.

Donald wants to see all
of you in his office-

all of you.

Thanks so much for
letting us use your camera.

Hey, no problem.
I'm happy to help.

Well, technically,
it's my camera.

Okay, you ready, Simon?

And... Rolling.

"Let me talk to your parents."

"I told you, they're in Morocco."

You got problems,
you gotta tell 'em to me,

"or they gonna
stay problems. Capiche?"

Let's cut.

Uh, just hold on one sec.

You tired, buddy?

You gotta give it
a little more energy, right?

It's a comedy, remember?

Okay.

Okay. Good.

Sorry about that.
Let's try again.

All right.
And... action.

"Let me talk
to your parents."

"I told you, they're in Morocco."

You got problems,
you gotta tell 'em to me,

"or they gonna stay problems.
Capiche?"

Um...

Look, Kevin and Cam have gone
out of their way to help us,

the least you could do is try.

What's the point?

You'll just pull me
from the show anyway!

Simon, they were
mistreating you.

No they weren't,
they were mistreating you!

You just care about yourself!

The only reason you want
me to do this audition

is so you can flirt
with your boyfriend!

Simon!

We needed that job, Beth!

If I don't work,

how are we supposed
to make enough money

to get to dad in Alaska?

You think...

Simon, that's...

I was trying to protect you.

Well stop it!
You're not my mom!

I hate you!
I hate you!

Hey, kid!

Who's up for an ocean swim, huh?

I think it's
pretty rough out there,

and I've gotta memorize this.

Ugh! Boring!

Come on, man,

she still have those
boogie boards?

Are you-? Hey!

What?

I thought we hid all the booze.

Well, apparently not very well.

She can't see you like this.

Okay, well, I guess
I better leave, right?

Eric!

Eric! Agh!

I just fought to keep
you here and now-

no, you're gonna stay, and
we're gonna sober you up,

and then she doesn't need
to know about this.

Hey, you said it yourself:

She doesn't want me around, right?

She just-aggghhhh!

This is okay, we can fix this.

That vase belonged
to her parents.

Can you fix it now?

Why are you doing this?

See you around, kid.

Give 'em back, man.
Give 'em back.

No. I'm not letting you
ruin this.

- Give me the keys, Connor!
- No.

I am not kidding around.

Give me the keys, now!

No!

Give me the keys, man!
Oh, for real?

What're you doing?

Get outta the car, Connor!
Get out!

What're you gonna do,
just sit there all day?

Give me the keys.

Connor! Connor!
Give me the keys!

I'm not-don't turn it on.

Connor, turn it off.

Turn it off!

Connor, what're you doing!

Don't go past the driveway!

Do not-Connor, do not go any-

where do you think you're going?

Apparently stealing my car.

Great.

Hi.

Hey...

Hey, don't worry about it, okay?

Don't listen to him,
it's not true.

Don't worry about what?

Oh... sorry,

I thought it got back to you.

Don't-don't listen to me.

What got back to me.

Okay, Ricky has been
telling everyone

that you don't belong here.

That you're faking
your addiction

and you're gonna get
cut out of the show

because nobody cares about you.

Who cares what Ricky thinks?

Well, I don't...
Obviously.

Here. You want this?
It's black.

You take it black, right?

Look, everyone else is
starting to listen to him;

that's...
That's all that worries me.

Maybe it's time
to stop letting people

walk all over you.

You know?

Isn't that what got you here
in the first place?

Move!

Oh... man...

Mister King,
could I have a word?

I think we've made
our position very clear.

Just a quick word -
off the record.

My client's an idiot.

So drop the case then.

I just did.

He says he's just gonna find
someone else.

Let him.

Look, the truth is
he can't afford this.

I took him on pro Bono,
but the next guy won't.

So what do you care?

He's gonna go broke filing
these little nuisance suits

just to get your attention.

He wants my attention he
should've tried something else.

You don't wanna
pay him off, that's fine.

But do me a favor,
consider mentoring him.

Do you a favor?

Yeah. Why not?

First of all,

the kid don't want me
to mentor him-

if you were to show him
a little kindness-

that's not how we do things.

No, I'm familiar with
how you do things,

and that's how we got here.

The kid has a lot of energy.

If it doesn't get channeled
in the right direction-

- I really feel-
- Sets the wrong precedent.

- All right.
- Thank you for your time.

That's it?

You won't help him,
you won't help him.

Can't say I didn't try.

Simon, come on.
Open the door.

I got you a soda.
Do you want it?

I want to go live with dad.

You can't go live
with dad, Simon.

Why?

Because... he's in Alaska.

I don't know
if he's found a job yet.

I don't wanna
live with you anymore.

Call dad,
tell him to come get me.

He can't come get you, Simon.

Then maybe he
can buy me a ticket

and I'll fly to him.

Call him.
I wanna talk to him.

He's not gonna answer.

- Call him!
- He left us!

Okay?
He abandoned us,

and he's gone.

Don't you get it?

No! You called him before!
You said you call him.

And he doesn't answer, Simon.

He hasn't picked up
for six months!

- You're lying!
- Why would I lie?!

Do you think
this is what I want?

He wouldn't do that!

He did do that, Simon,

and part of you knows
that he did!

He's my dad, he loves me.

He does love you, Simon,
he just...

He wasn't the same
after mom died.

He loves you, he just-

where are you going?

Out.

You can't go out by yourself,

you're too young.

I'm so sick of you!

I'm so sick of being around you!

I can't ever be by myself!

Okay!

I'll go outside
for a little bit.

How about that?

This is for you
whenever you want it.

Simon, I'm really sorry.

Hey, what did he say-

Ugh...

Those are always fun.

Come on, let's go.

What happened?

You got the job, hotshot.

Congratulations.

I figured it was mean

to make her work
for the rest of the day

since I already made up my mind.

Thanks.
Come on.

Nick, come on! Chop-chop!

Listen, reality lady,

what are you, an Aries?

I'm a Cancer, actually.

Why don't you just
stop talking about me

whoa! Behind my back.

You don't think my problems
are real?

You yon't think
I deserve to be here?

Uh...

Uh... no, I don't think you
deserve to be here, Zach,

but not because your
problems aren't real, okay?

It's because they're boring.

Yeah, see, you were
never interesting

and you were never good.

You were cute, once,
you made some money off it -

so what?

I was good.

Were ya?

Is that why your mom
checked out on you?

'Cause she saw all the long-term

earning potential?

Yeah, you can say whatever
you want about her, Zach,

but she was smart;

she knew when it was over. Hmm?

'Cause it's over.

When are you gonna realize that?

You're over.

Oh! Zach!

Zach!

Ricky! What the hell
was that all about?

I'm learning him!

Uh...

If anyone knows what
that kid is going through,

it's you!

Yeah!

No. No, no. Uh...

Why don't you try being
a real man

and help him out
instead of being a bully?

Bully!

Uh... not a bully!

He instigated with me, so...

Ricky! We are all here
to get well...

Yeah! Okay?

We're not here to tear
each other down...

No!

We're here to build
each other up.

Hey! Hey! Wait! Sabrina!

Nick, I don't wanna
talk to you right now.

I'm sorry, okay?
You should've gotten it.

Yeah, you tell Scott that?

It's only one job.
It's-you're amazing,

you'll find something better.

Plus, you really wanna work
for a guy like Scott?

I really wanna work.
I don't care who for.

Sabrina-

look, I don't wanna talk
about this with you!

I'm not super-happy with
you right now, Nick!

Wait, you can't
take this out on me.

- Uh, yes I can.
- Hey, hey...

I don't want this to affect
what we have going here.

A little late for that, buddy.

Are you serious?

Hey, if I'd been fired today,
I wouldn't be mad with you.

Because I would've earned it.

Sabrina...

Finally!

Can I have my keys back, please?

You were gone so long I
actually had time to sober up.

It's not the same.

It's close enough. It'll do.

She'll never know
the difference.

How much did it cost?

Eric, I...

She needs you.

I get the sense

that she's been feeling
really lonely lately, and...

I think she could use
some family right now.

Let's face it, we all could.

So we'll just...

We'll clean up the mess,

and we'll put this vase on the shelf,

pretend it's the old one.
No one...

Okay?
We can make this work.

- Eric-
- Relax, kid.

Just getting a broom.

I thought he knew.

I mean didn't he ever wonder

why he never talked
to our dad on the phone?

Or why he never sent us money?

He's ten. Kids believe
what you tell them.

I should've just been
honest with him

from the beginning.

You were trying to protect him.

I messed up.

I've never seen him
this mad at me before.

Well, he's a kid;

he'll probably forget
by tomorrow, right?

I also might've pulled him
from a shoot yesterday.

Might have?

I did. Okay, that you
should apologize for.

You didn't see how they
were treating him.

You know there's like
a thousand page manual

for how they're supposed
to treat kids on set.

I'm sure he was okay.

I am not cut out for this.

You're doing a great job.
He's an amazing kid.

That's all you.

It just sucks being alone
down here, you know?

Well, you're not.

Sorry, I-just a sec.

Hello?

Speaking.

Great!

Yeah. Just text me
the info and-

Okay. Great.
Thank you.

Simon got a callback
for that Bill Nye thing!

Hey! Amazing!

This is perfect!
He's gonna-

he really wanted this one.

I'm gonna get us some burgers
and tell him.

And Beth?

Yeah?

Apologize.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What is going on?

Laura,
your on-set behavior lately

has been completely
unacceptable.

I'm sorry, Donald.

It's just you've ingrained

such a diligent
and noble work ethic into us,

that when I see a guest
at the show come in

and not work as hard,

I get very emotional.

Not work as hard?

You were unprepared.

You kept messing up your lines.

It's unprofessional,
and it's not the first time.

Brandon?

Um...

She was having
trouble with her lines.

Wait.
Wait a minute!

Abby, this very disappointing.

It's a privilege to be
on a television show

and not everybody
is cut out for it,

so if you can't handle-

I'm sleeping with
Laura and Brandon.

At first it was all three of us,

and then Brandon and I
slept together without Laura

and she lost her mind, okay?

If I'm gonna get fired,

it's not gonna be
because I'm unprofessional.

I wasn't gonna fire you.

Is this true?

No!
Why would I make that up?!

Because you're
a pathological liar, Abby.

She told me that her
brother has cancer

and that's the reason
that she's always late.

It turns out that she doesn't
even have a brother.

Is your brother really sick?

No! I don't have a brother!

See?

You know, this was a
calm and functioning family

until you got here, Abby.

And now it's threesomes,
and deviant sex, deception...

There is no place for that
on television.

That's why we all have
morality clauses

in our contracts-

that clause is insane, okay?
Nobody's that clean!

I am.

Really? Do you mind if I
check your browser history?

What're you doing?!

Nobody acts as
straight-laced as you

Abby...

I know you're hiding something!

Charitable donations
tax receipts...

Photos? Of what?

From my trip to Rome,
to see the Vatican.

I'm fired, aren't I?

You are now.

Hey, you're late.

I'm sorry. It's been
a crazy morning.

Come here.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

You know, I just this kid
trying to rattle my cage.

What'd I miss?

Do we need to talk
about last night?

Nah! I'm just under
a lot of stress.

Sean, your car!

Call 911!

I refuse to let you
break up with me.

No! I'm crazy about you

and I'm not gonna let this job
come between us.

If you want me to quit,
I'll quit.

- Nick-
- No, look,

there are other jobs...
There's only one of you.

Fine, quit.

You... you wanna be
with me, quit your job.

Okay. Okay.

Put it on speaker-phone.

Okay.

Hell-o.

Hi, Scott, it's Nick.

Nicholas!

We going to the massage
parlor tonight?

No, no. I can't tonight.

Listen, I uh...

I've been thinking
and I'm not sure you made-

- Are you crazy?
- No.

You were actually gonna quit?

Yes.

What do you got in there?

Mozza-2-go -
bunch of different kinds.

Oh, come on!

How can you not know what this is?

Everything you're
drawing looks like a penis.

It does not look like a penis!

Okay, no talking!
Connor, go.

What do you think it is?

I can't see how
that is not a penis.

You know what?
That says a lot more about you guys

than it does about me,
just so you know!

You're running out of time.

You know, I'm playing
an artist in this movie.

I need to work on
my drawing skills.

All right, all right,
all right, we get it -

you booked
a David Fincher movie.

We're all very happy for you!

Mm! Stop it! Shut up!

Okay, go on. Guess!

Anh! Time!

Okay, fine, I give up.

It's the Chrysler building!

How could you not see that?!

No, I stand by
my original penis.

Okay, go.

Okay, it's your turn.
Go!

Okay, okay, okay.

He wanted my
attention, he's got it.

What the hell
are you doing in my office-

I'm not paying him,

I'm not intimidated by him,

and I damn sure
ain't gonna mentor him.

What'd he do?

He set my car on fire

outside the 19th street mission.

- Can you prove it?
- Prove it?

I got thirty people
who witnessed it!

He's an angry kid,
he has learning disabil-

I know you're not about
to make excuses for him.

Of course not.

Where is he?

You know I can't tell you that.

I'm not gonna hurt him,
I just wanna talk to him.

Even if I believed you,
I'd be disbarred.

I've advised him
to stay away from you.

Well advise him again!

And I don't care
if he's just a kid -

if he don't raise up off me,

he about to take this somewhere
he don't want it to go!

I'll impress that upon him.

That's it?

You came here to tell me
something I already knew

and to ask for something
you knew I wouldn't give you?

I thought it was worth a shot.

No, you're smarter than that.

Whatever.

Hey!

A lot of fireworks today.

Well, people are still detoxing.

Everyone's a little testy.

Thank you.

You seem to be holding up okay.

People need a rock.

I've never seen
anyone manipulate

their own character
arc like this.

Hmm.

Well, I don't know what
you're talking about.

Uh-huh.

I'm just gonna go check on Zach

if that's something
y'all wanna capture?

Guys... you heard the lady.

Go ahead. You're on.

Zach, are you in there?

You really shouldn't be alone.

We need a medic in here!
Go!
