Famous in Love (2017) s02e06 Episode Script
The Goodbye Boy
1 Previously on "Famous In Love.
.
" I have that screen test tomorrow morning.
.
But Rainer is having a fundraiser tonight.
.
We could schmooze a little and find you your funding.
Jordan Wilder, one of our sources said that you may have gone by the name Jordan Michaels.
I found the guy that we've been looking for.
- Our film, it's a - Anh-anh-anh.
.
- Not so fast.
- Uh, no, no, I'm not drinking.
It's called pounder's privilege.
'You pound a shot, you get the privilege' of me listening to your pitch.
(RAINER) 'What the hell is Jordan Wilder doing here?' Donors love movie stars.
And like it or not, he's all over the tabloids.
Yeah! For screwing my mom! So you thought you could just casually rock up here, huh? - I'm leaving.
- No, I'm leaving! Paige? I'll take you home.
[PANTING.]
[SCREAMING.]
- 'Cut!' - 'Moving on.
.
' Can we do it again? I can do it better.
That was great, but when we reverse for your coverage I just need you to run a little faster, okay? - Faster.
Okay.
- Alright.
Cool.
Oh, hi, Blaine.
Uh, it's so nice to meet you.
I, I wanted to introduce myself to you What number are you? I-I, I'm-I'm.
.
I'm sorry, what? What number on the call sheet are you? Oh, um, I'm 17, I think.
So, you're dead girl number three.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, are you having a full conversation with my boobs, right now? Yeah, and they speak volumes.
And I don't really need to know your name.
But I bet it's a pretty one.
[PAIGE RETCHING.]
Mm.
.
Paige, you okay? [PAIGE COUGHING.]
Mm.
.
[TOILET FLUSHING.]
Paige, call your agent.
People get sick all the time.
Just reschedule.
(PAIGE) 'But it's Scorsese.
' 'Joanie just texted me, he's there.
He came.
' (PAIGE) Look at me.
Mm.
.
- Okay.
When is it? - Nine.
That's in an hour.
And it's our last day shooting "Locked.
" What time is our call time again? Well, not till 4:00.
You'll be okay by then.
Yeah, but not for the screen test.
Oh, God, I really screwed up.
Oh.
.
Maybe not.
It's a long shot, but I have this hangover remedy.
Do-do you have pickle juice? [PAIGE RETCHING.]
(JAKE) God, it was so gross.
Hands all over Billy, it was disgusting.
He was lucky I didn't beat the crap out of him.
- What a douche.
- Yeah.
Dude, I'm just so stressed out.
I mean, we're gonna shoot today, but Shane had to bartend and we have no money.
It's a bust.
My chance to make my future's done.
Drums.
What? What's that movie? Um, "Whiplash.
" That was a short film first.
And it won Oscars.
And all it needed was finishing funds.
Yeah, yeah, you know, except for one scene.
I think I even have enough footage to cut Paige's version into a short.
I-I can't make this Sundance a sure deadline.
Dude, I had this prof in film school.
.
He's one of the programmers for the Tin Creek Film Festival.
I'm still in contact with him.
You can hit him up.
It's right outside of Park City.
Happens at the exact same time, too.
It's really cool, it's got that early Sundance Tarantino, Kevin Smith vibe.
Yeah, yeah, uh "Clerks" premiered there, I'm pretty sure.
- Tin Creek.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah, that might work, bro.
Adam, you're a genius.
[CHUCKLES.]
No, man.
The mellow bud is the genius.
[SIGHING.]
Waking and baking, I see.
- There she is.
- Hi, Cass.
First day, how'd it go? [SIGHING.]
First night, actually, and I'm exhausted.
And the lead Blaine is just a total asshole who won't even learn my name.
He's managed to memorize my boobs.
But it's fine.
Tonight, I die a painful and dramatic death and then, I'm almost done.
Sounds awesome.
- You wanna hit? - No, I don't.
I'm gonna go to bed.
Hey, Cass, I think I'm gonna submit "Georgia" as a short for like, Tin Creek and other festivals.
Oh, that's awesome.
But with Billy or with Paige? I think Paige.
Either makes no sense.
She has a name.
Yeah, I think so.
Plus, she's gonna be so stoked.
So you obviously haven't told her yet.
Oh, no, she's at the, uh, the, uh, screen test thing.
That was at 9:00.
It's almost 12:00.
Which is weird because she hasn't texted me to tell me how it went.
What time did you guys leave last night? Um I left with Billy around 2:00 but Paige left before we did.
And she didn't text you when she got home safely? No, actually, I haven't heard from her since she left the party.
Which was when? - Um, I think, like, 11:00.
- Call her, Jake.
I'm gonna call her.
[LINE RINGING.]
She's not answering.
Let's go to her place.
I know her gate code.
Okay, I'm driving, 'cause you're high.
Babe, I will.
.
I'll see you later.
- Peace out, Adam.
- I love you.
(FEMALE #1) 'Breathe in, one, two.
Exhale out.
' [WHISPERING.]
That's it! I can't do this.
There's nothing worse than sitting still for this long.
- Nina! - No.
- Nina! - No.
Nina, Nina.
.
Hey! No, look.
.
- Wait up.
Wait, wait - I.
.
I'm sorry, Steve, I am.
I-I just.
.
I can't concentrate or.
.
or meditate or whatever you call it.
Oh, it took me years to learn how to meditate.
I don't expect you to get it on the first try.
- Don't worry.
- Okay, look.
.
It's not even that, really.
Today is the last shooting day for "Locked.
" You know, a big and important day for any producer.
Except me, because Rainer's banned me from the set.
I can't even be there for the wrap day of my own movie.
That sucks! [CHUCKLES.]
It does.
Do you wanna go get a smoothie and talk about it? - Uh, with vodka? - However you take it.
This is so decadent.
Fluffy robes, room service, I feel just like "Pretty Woman.
" But not the prostitute part.
Absolutely not.
Thank you.
For what? You made me feel better.
About myself, about everything.
[CELL PHONE RINGING.]
Hold that thought.
[CHUCKLING.]
- Hello.
- 'Jordan Wilder?' 'It's Robin Lane from "The Post.
"' How did you get my number? What do I.
.
Why are you calling me? (ROBIN) 'Are you any relation to Brandy Michaels?' 'The woman who served six years' 'for murdering an Aiden McGee?' What is it? Nothing.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
[DOGS BARKING.]
She didn't even lock it.
Paige? Hey, it's us.
Are you here? (RAINER) 'She's upstairs.
' Hey.
What the hell are you doing here? - Why are you here? Answer me! - Calm down.
Just answer the question.
What are you doing here? It's not what it looks like.
Trust me.
Wait.
.
Wha.
.
Did you two leave the party together? She needed a ride home.
You were nowhere to be found.
- And then what? - 'Guys.
.
' Oh, my God.
I'm so glad you're okay.
Yeah, we were worried sick.
Not worried enough to realize she'd passed out in my courtyard last night? Well, Paige, looks like you have a ride to set now if you need it.
- Hi.
- Hi.
What was he doing here? Why did he take you home? He drove me home because I got so drunk last night that I was throwing up the entire morning so much that I missed my screen test.
I'm sorry.
Oh, I hope it was worth it.
What's that supposed to mean? Exactly what I just said.
I hope Derek is-is giving you your finishing funds on your film.
He's not.
He's not? Great Zeus, all for nothing? [SCOFFS.]
You knew that I had the screen test.
You knew that I didn't wanna be there.
You knew that I said I was not drinking and then you let that D-bag pressure me into doing shots and-and now for what? - Look, Paige, I'm really sorry.
- Are you? Because from my perspective, you completely ignored me last night and then came barging over here to accuse me of cheating? Okay, look, maybe I should leave.
No, I should leave.
Can I have the keys? [SIGHING.]
Are you okay to drive to set? I don't know, my stomach's a little iffy.
I'm sure that this is all just a simple misunderstanding.
And you guys will work through this.
I may have failed to mention that Sloane didn't talk to me for nearly her first two years at Yale.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
Oh, she was so pissed I wouldn't let her pursue acting.
So, she stayed away from you, but did you respect her boundaries and stay away from her, too? No way.
Not exactly.
Not exactly.
Respecting their boundaries doesn't mean you cut them out of your life.
No, I, I went.
.
I visited her.
But I didn't try to talk her out of acting.
I let, I let her be her.
Which is why I wanna ask you this favor.
My studio is locking the rights to this manuscript and I think it's got the perfect first role for Sloane.
It's not the lead, it's the daughter.
But it's got "Best Supporting" written all over it.
And her reward for keeping her end of the bargain.
.
I wanna get your expert female opinion.
I would be honored.
No.
No, I don't need to fill out a report, he just arrived.
Okay, thank you.
I called you.
I texted you.
I called every rehab center, AA meeting, hospital I even called bars! Did you sleep with Paige? I heard that you left with her.
- Who told you that? - Sloane.
[SCOFFS.]
Paige is a friend.
She needed me.
Nothing happened.
I'm upset.
I'm upset at the way you acted at the fundraiser.
It made me look at us in a whole new light.
And I'm not sure this is working.
No.
.
Look, no, I'm-I'm so passionate about this charity I got, I got so ambitious I-I realized that wasn't healthy.
I got so into, I was sucked into tunnel vision.
I'm sorry.
I'm really I-I can't talk about this right now.
I, I need to sleep.
Maybe you should go back to your place.
I need some space.
[SIGHING.]
Alright, well, I guess I'll head out.
Yeah, I'm headed out to my last scene of "Locked," so.
.
With a suitcase? Um, taking the red-eye out tonight.
New York.
"Good Morning America" tomorrow.
Was supposed to talk about my movie chance at the Oscars.
.
Of course, all they're gonna ask about is the affair, probably.
Not my movie.
Jordan? I can't.
.
I can't breathe.
My chest.
.
Jordan, are you alright? [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
I.
.
It's.
.
Suddenly I can't.
.
I feel-I feel, I feel like I can't really breathe.
You're having an anxiety attack.
A-are you sure? My-my heart is beating really fast and my chest hurts.
That's exactly what it is.
Just sit down.
Don't talk.
Breathe.
This never happened before.
Do you think it's because of your fight last night with Rainer? That was.
.
This GMA interview.
All of it.
What about the phone call this morning? That was a reporter that threatened to expose my past.
The guy who was up here asking you questions? No, no, someone else now.
Now, every other reporter is gonna be in my face.
The paparazzi, the people, it's all just too much! [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
I can feel it.
They're closin' in.
I.
.
You were right about what you said to me last night.
I had a really messed up childhood.
Only a couple people out here know that.
Nina and Rainer.
But it doesn't matter now.
Pretty soon, everyone is gonna know this about me if that reporter keeps at it.
The thing about secrets is that people can hold them over you.
The only way for people not to have that power over you is if you own your truth.
Tell your side of the story.
You don't know how this works? I can lose my career.
Go to prison.
[SIGHING.]
Why did I do that? Why am I so stupid? Why did I drink so much? You did it for Jake.
Yeah.
Look where all that got me.
By the way, why did you both come over? Partly because we were worried that you'd been abducted and also because he had a surprise for you.
What? Cassy? - I shouldn't.
- But you're going to.
Jake decided to submit "Stealing Georgia" as a short instead of trying to finish it as a feature because shorts can sometimes attract a lot of attention and he wants to do it with your footage.
Oh, God, now I feel so stupid.
We just had this big fight.
Why didn't he leave with that? Wait, what do we have left to shoot on the movie if we do that? I think just the suitcase scene.
And I can totally do it 'cause today's my last day.
I really hope.
.
this turns things around for me and Jake 'cause we were so happy shooting "Stealing Georgia" and I just wanna get back to happy.
I hear ya.
I hate it when you guys fight.
Is there a time I could stop by set tonight to see you? Mm.
.
Tonight? Probably not, because I get my top ripped open and my throat slashed, so it's maybe not a good night.
Well, I really appreciate that you're here, Cass.
I know you're really tired.
Is it okay if I crash here? I don't think I'm gonna make it home.
Of course.
Thanks.
Well? This is amazing.
Do you have a producer yet? The buddy who brought it to me already has a writer and director on board.
And Ryan Gosling.
.
You know, but.
.
I-I, I'd.
.
I wouldn't want this to get in the way of, of us.
Do you think that producer's gonna stick? Yeah, I'm gonna package him with my agency so it's pretty much a done deal.
But more importantly, what did you think of the role of Carrie? I mean, i-it's perfect for Sloane, right? Well, I think all the roles are good.
I mean, it's a moving, amazing story.
And I was thinking the part of Charlie is perfect for Rainer.
Don't you think? Oh, he can do a lot more than action movies.
Wait till you see his performance in "Locked.
" I-I don't think I'd be able to get insurance.
It will cost a fortune.
Well, Robert Downey Jr.
turned it around.
Look at him now.
He's one of the biggest Box Office draws the industry has.
And they waited till he was sober.
They didn't put him in a movie for years.
Oh, no.
No, no, no.
That's not why I gave you the material.
I, I really.
.
I just wanted your expert opinion.
And my expert opinion is.
.
in a few years you're gonna be shopping for a new tuxedo because "Redemption Ridge" is gonna win every Oscar it's up for.
I just wish I could be a part of it.
Alright, that's great.
Okay.
So, uh, I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna get this to Sloane.
.
I'm gonna see what she thinks.
You know, I just.
.
I.
.
I didn't wanna do this without your opinion.
Dinner tonight? Uh, you're not gonna believe this but while you were out getting coffee Rainer texted me and asked me for the wrap party.
I mean, it's just, you know after the movie finishes shooting but I.
.
- Can you believe it? - Well, that's great.
- You should definitely go.
- Uh, do you wanna come? No, you should go.
Sounds like Rainer's finally reaching out to you.
Yeah.
[ALARM BLARING.]
- August, no! - 'No!' [GROANING.]
(MALE #1) 'Cutting! Resetting!' Okay, the director needs a couple more takes of y'all flyin' through the wormhole.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
How you holdin' up, Paige? Not the best for a hangover.
So, um.
.
Did you guys hear what happened between Katie make-up and Wendy hair? No, what are you talking about? Katie make-up was yelling pretty loudly.
I thought they were really close.
It's the last day of shooting.
- And? - People get weird.
I had a rough morning myself.
It's like they're losing a family.
'We spend all this intense time together' only to have it abruptly end.
I mean, you may work with some of them again but it's never the same.
Speaking of the end, you goin' to the wrap party tonight? I, I really didn't know there was one.
Tradition.
Everyone just parties on stage.
Well, I'm definitely not drinking.
Hey, me neither.
(PAIGE) 'Look at us.
' You should come.
You going, Jordan? You should.
It's been a lot of time with this family.
I didn't plan on it, but I could stop by.
Good.
What are you doing here? We didn't get a chance to finish our conversation.
'I know that you're upset.
' I just, I want a chance to explain myself.
I care about you.
You know that.
But I, I take my work with Trending Ocean really seriously.
It's my passion and I really wanted our fundraiser to be a success.
But I put those goals over you.
And I'm sorry.
Really.
Baby.
.
I'm not trying to make more excuses but I'm used to doing those fundraisers by myself.
You know that about me from rehab.
I don't share well with others.
But I should've included you more and I'm sorry.
Well, clearly, it was all for nothing because people were too busy drinking our free booze and partying so you can get money.
We made money.
Not on the silent auction stuff but we actually made a lot of money.
- 1.
8 million to be exact.
- Really? The trustafarians loved what you had to say about surfing in a clean ocean and the bank execs that I talked to, they decided to make Trending Ocean the corporate write-off for the year.
Babe, we make such a good team and we can go national.
We could open an office in New York City.
Maybe you could take some time off after "Locked" wraps.
You know, I actually think that's a really great idea.
Jake? (BILLY) 'We need to give this money back, Landon.
' 'If not there's a special place in hell for us.
' And that's where we're both headed.
What is this? What's going on? I-I thought you were cutting "Stealing Georgia" as a short.
Wait, the suitcase scene? That's the last scene that we have to shoot in the movie.
You.
.
Why didn't you talk to me before making this deci No, I tried calling you.
The shot just works better with Billy now since we rewrote it.
And I have a deadline I'm trying to meet.
Today's my last day.
Seriously? Can we just talk in the kitchen, please? I.
.
Uh, I'll go.
Um, I-I'll go outside.
Sorry.
The action stuff we shot in the apartment worked better than the stuff we shot in the Bixby.
It just did.
'And it's not just that.
' Okay? We-we did a lot of rewrites.
Rewrites that had to be done.
Rewrites that made the script better.
'And-and then I-I-I became a better director.
' Uh, this whole process I've improved and so, yeah.
.
I got to change everything I got wrong the first time.
Including casting me? No, don't.
I.
.
I don't wanna cry.
It's not about you.
Then what is it about? Are you punishing me? Are you punishing me for last night? Is-is.
.
Nothing happened with Rainer! Cassy told me that you were coming over to tell me that you were using our film, our footage our baby, and-and now, suddenly you aren't.
No.
Okay, no.
It's not Rainer.
I'm a better director now, that's it.
No, that is such bullshit! And you know it! You're gonna stand in front of me and be a coward and pretend that it is about your film making.
What have we come to? You know, or maybe I'm.
.
Maybe I'm making an excuse too one that I can actually stump me because what you're also not saying is.
.
you like her version better than mine.
No.
No, Paige, that's not true.
I have to go.
I have to go to set.
It's my last day, which is ironic because you decided that I wasn't worth waiting one more day for.
One more day! [INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC.]
I know I shouldn't go there But I'm goin' anywhere I'm cavin' in I can't resist I let it all in If it ends like this I'm cavin' in I'm cavin' in - Paige! - Oh! My name's Jeremy.
I'm a tour guide here at Gold Brothers.
Hi.
I'm sorry, uh, you.
.
Uh, literally just scared everything out of me.
I come by here five, six times a day.
Sometimes I come in when you're just shooting a scene and just watch.
I'm a big fan of yours.
I just wanna tell you how much I've enjoyed working with you.
I just love your acting style and your approach to the craft.
Thank you.
Hey, new car? I miss your old junker.
What did you call it? The Rabbit? Yeah, yeah, uh, Th-the Rabbit.
It's awesome, um.
.
I-I actually still have it in the garage.
I'll miss seeing you.
I hope you get another role here at Gold Brothers real soon.
I'll see you around.
Bye.
[PANTING.]
[SCREAMING.]
[SCREAMING.]
- It's your turn to die! - What the hell, dude? (MALE #2) 'Cut! That's a cut!' 'Go again.
' What was wrong with that? Blaine.
.
you're not supposed to rip the shirt completely off.
'If you see the tattoo on her stomach' you'll know she's of the family.
Okay, going again.
Back to one.
(MALE #2) 'Back to one on the bell.
' 'And action!' [PANTING.]
Help! [SCREAMING.]
Now it's your turn to die! (MALE #2) 'Cut! Cut! Let's do this again.
' (FEMALE #2) 'Okay, guys, we need you to go again.
' Help! Help! Now it's your time to die, bitch.
Not tonight, it isn't.
[GROANING.]
- 'Cut!' - Oh! [SIGHING.]
Career is so over.
What the hell was that? You just decide to go off script and practically kill me? Me, you're the one who went off script and decided to choke me with your death grip.
And last time, you actually cut off my air supply! - Cassandra.
- I know, I screwed up.
I'm sorry, I will get my things.
Where did that come from? That was amazing! Truly inspiring, what you did.
.
It.
.
That's so real just now.
Her character is not supposed to get away.
- That's not scripted.
- Exactly.
Exactly.
It's not in the script, but it should be.
Cassandra, now I'm thinking, y-you're not third girl to die.
You're the fifth, or the, or the sixth.
I'm re-writing the script.
Yeah, you know, we're gonna give the audience a real good old fashioned Ripley-type heroine.
Congratulations, Cassandra.
You live to die another day.
Well, looks like I moved up on the call sheet.
And by the way, my name's Cassandra Perkins.
You should probably remember it 'cause it looks like we'll be working together for a while.
The good times The good times Wow.
Can't believe this is really it.
It's actually over.
Endings are sad but important.
- Yeah.
- But just you watch.
Next film, you'll immediately fall in love with a whole new crew.
Happens every movie.
Because there's much drama on this one.
I mean, Jordan wasn't even gonna show up until he heard that Tangey was off recording.
And Alexis.
.
is not here because of everyone.
Just, not sure if all of us like the beginning again.
I'm gonna go to the bar.
You want a drink? No, thank you.
I'm not doing that for a very long time.
Copy that, PT, I'll catch you later.
Bye.
[UPBEAT MUSIC.]
The good times Feelin' light Yeah I feel alright I'm feelin' like yeah yeah yeah full on fire Bring it on Bring it bring it on Bring it bring it bring it on Bring it bring it on The good times See, if you take a few frames out here then it might sync up perfectly.
Look, I need to say something about all of this.
Sure.
Anything.
If you need to go with Paige as the lead, I totally get it.
No.
No, no, no, come on.
We rewrote the script, it's a completely different movie now.
- But that isn't her fault.
- No, of course not.
It's no one's fault, look, this isn't about punishment or who I'm dating or any of that.
The fight you saw earlier had absolutely nothing to do with you.
So sit on it.
I mean, what's the rush, Jake? It has to be this year.
No, because Paige's cruise is taking off and if I'm still struggling making these crappy little movies she's not gonna wanna be with me.
We'll talk about it tomorrow.
But I'll be okay with whatever you decide.
[ELECTRONIC MUSIC.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
We're just looking for some action Just looking for some action over here Everybody hit the place now We're giving you the chance to disappear Hey.
Rainer.
- Harper.
- Nina.
Glad you could make it.
Too bad Alan's out of town.
Um, you mind if I join you? Go ahead and have a seat.
[SIGHING.]
I'm just gonna.
.
make a little speech first.
.
so make yourself comfortable.
[MUSIC CONTINUES.]
[MUSIC STOPS.]
Hi, everyone.
Uh, I just want to take a moment to say a few words.
[SIGHING.]
You've all been so good to me.
'As you all know I.
.
' 'went through a lot during the production of this movie.
' But.
.
the one silver lining, my one saving grace.
.
was that you were all there for me and supported me.
And it wasn't just the obvious people.
I felt the outpouring of love and support from all the departments.
Many of you whom I've known, really, my whole life.
And, if I haven't known you my whole life.
.
it feels like I have.
[SIGHING.]
So, I-I just want you all to know that.
.
I love each and every one of you.
.
from the bottom of my heart.
(MALE #3) 'We love you, man.
' Which is why it's so hard for me to tell you all.
.
that I'm leaving Hollywood.
[ALL GASPING.]
'For good.
' 'Acting served its purpose' 'and I'm moving on.
' So, this really is a wrap for Rainer Devon.
It feels like a casual romance I'm just feelin' you off the grid - Hey.
- Hi.
So, I guess I should say goodbye to you now because it sounds like you're leaving tomorrow.
Nah, don't forget we'll have ADR sessions.
Maybe a re-shoot or two.
You can't get rid of me that easily.
And why oh my ey-eyes Have why oh.
.
Why do I feel like you're not as into Rainer leaving as he is? Oh.
You're mistaken, Nina.
I want whatever's best for Rainer and if getting out of Hollywood is what he needs then that's exactly what we're gonna do.
[SCOFFS.]
Leaving is the biggest mistake of his life.
I know my son.
And what he wants most is critical acclaim.
He's dreamt of getting an Oscar his entire life.
Well, no offense, but he's not getting one for the types of movies that you produce.
[MUSIC CONTINUES.]
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC.]
You set me free You set me free Oh oh oh Hey, Mr.
Devon, how's it goin'? Octavio.
Looking better, my friend.
I know what you mean, man, I've three teenagers about to go to college.
This could be better for me too.
Octavio.
Your timing change.
.
Keep it.
What? This will put at least two of them through college.
But you don't, you don't really mean for me to keep the car.
Yes.
It's yours.
Registration's in the glove box, I'll officially sign it over to you tomorrow.
I can't believe that you.

We don't a need a car in New York.
We don't need it.
.
How are we getting home? A nice looking dude named Ahmad is gonna be picking us up at gate four.
Okay, Rainer, you need a meeting.
You are not okay right now.
I just put two kids through college.
I've never been better.

Brian, it's Nina.
I need you to track down the number of an author.
Marva Dunwoody.
She wrote a manuscript that Steve Silver is packaging.
"Redemption Ridge.
" Yeah, just get it for me by tomorrow.
Yes, I want you to start working on it right now.
Yes, now! You know, you don't have to retire retire.
You can just take a break.
I'm thinking we should start a Trending Ocean on the East Coast.
And we should relocate to make sure it gets off the ground.
Yeah, but we don't have to do that.
We can just hire someone to set up the East Coast branch.
You know, I just-I don't think we need to rush this.
No, I feel really confident that this is exactly what we should do.
I can go solo and set it up.
I wouldn't wanna leave those big decisions up to just anyone, you know? Hmm.
.
I think Manhattan is the place to be.

[KEYS CLACKING.]
Feels like a song Feels like a song Feels like O-o-o-o-o-o-o O-o-o-o-o-o-o [MUSIC CONTINUES.]
Feels like a song O-o-o-o-o-o-o And, and, Jordan, I have to say I know there's a lot of Oscar buzz surrounding you after your Golden Globe win.
- Good stuff.
- Yeah.
But, Jordan, that all changed after the news broke that you and Nina Devon had an affair possibly when you were a minor.
Uh, I was-I was eighteen.
Are you protecting Nina Devon? Because you were on the "Backsplash" set when you were sixteen.
I was eighteen but I like to talk about my film.
Rainer Devon is a good friend of yours, correct? And have you spoken to him since the scandal broke? What does he think about all this? See, that's the thing about secrets, they always come out.
No matter what they come out.
Uh.
.
And what do you, what do you mean by that? My real name is Jordan Michaels.
'I'm, I'm not an orphan.
' 'My mom, she served six years in prison' 'for killin' her boyfriend.
' 'But the thing is, she didn't do it.
' 'I did.
' [AUDIENCE GASPING.]
'This guy, he, he beat her, he beat me.
.
' for years.
And one day, he was takin' it out on her and I.
.
I fought back.
I killed him.
(FEMALE #3) 'Wow, um.
.
' I think we're all in shock.
[STAMMERING.]
Is-is there anything else that you'd like to add, Jordan? No.
Just that, Nina, she, she knew all my mistakes.
'All the things I was tryin' to hide, and.
.
' 'she believed in me anyway.
' [INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC.]
[THEME MUSIC.]
.
" I have that screen test tomorrow morning.
.
But Rainer is having a fundraiser tonight.
.
We could schmooze a little and find you your funding.
Jordan Wilder, one of our sources said that you may have gone by the name Jordan Michaels.
I found the guy that we've been looking for.
- Our film, it's a - Anh-anh-anh.
.
- Not so fast.
- Uh, no, no, I'm not drinking.
It's called pounder's privilege.
'You pound a shot, you get the privilege' of me listening to your pitch.
(RAINER) 'What the hell is Jordan Wilder doing here?' Donors love movie stars.
And like it or not, he's all over the tabloids.
Yeah! For screwing my mom! So you thought you could just casually rock up here, huh? - I'm leaving.
- No, I'm leaving! Paige? I'll take you home.
[PANTING.]
[SCREAMING.]
- 'Cut!' - 'Moving on.
.
' Can we do it again? I can do it better.
That was great, but when we reverse for your coverage I just need you to run a little faster, okay? - Faster.
Okay.
- Alright.
Cool.
Oh, hi, Blaine.
Uh, it's so nice to meet you.
I, I wanted to introduce myself to you What number are you? I-I, I'm-I'm.
.
I'm sorry, what? What number on the call sheet are you? Oh, um, I'm 17, I think.
So, you're dead girl number three.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, are you having a full conversation with my boobs, right now? Yeah, and they speak volumes.
And I don't really need to know your name.
But I bet it's a pretty one.
[PAIGE RETCHING.]
Mm.
.
Paige, you okay? [PAIGE COUGHING.]
Mm.
.
[TOILET FLUSHING.]
Paige, call your agent.
People get sick all the time.
Just reschedule.
(PAIGE) 'But it's Scorsese.
' 'Joanie just texted me, he's there.
He came.
' (PAIGE) Look at me.
Mm.
.
- Okay.
When is it? - Nine.
That's in an hour.
And it's our last day shooting "Locked.
" What time is our call time again? Well, not till 4:00.
You'll be okay by then.
Yeah, but not for the screen test.
Oh, God, I really screwed up.
Oh.
.
Maybe not.
It's a long shot, but I have this hangover remedy.
Do-do you have pickle juice? [PAIGE RETCHING.]
(JAKE) God, it was so gross.
Hands all over Billy, it was disgusting.
He was lucky I didn't beat the crap out of him.
- What a douche.
- Yeah.
Dude, I'm just so stressed out.
I mean, we're gonna shoot today, but Shane had to bartend and we have no money.
It's a bust.
My chance to make my future's done.
Drums.
What? What's that movie? Um, "Whiplash.
" That was a short film first.
And it won Oscars.
And all it needed was finishing funds.
Yeah, yeah, you know, except for one scene.
I think I even have enough footage to cut Paige's version into a short.
I-I can't make this Sundance a sure deadline.
Dude, I had this prof in film school.
.
He's one of the programmers for the Tin Creek Film Festival.
I'm still in contact with him.
You can hit him up.
It's right outside of Park City.
Happens at the exact same time, too.
It's really cool, it's got that early Sundance Tarantino, Kevin Smith vibe.
Yeah, yeah, uh "Clerks" premiered there, I'm pretty sure.
- Tin Creek.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah, that might work, bro.
Adam, you're a genius.
[CHUCKLES.]
No, man.
The mellow bud is the genius.
[SIGHING.]
Waking and baking, I see.
- There she is.
- Hi, Cass.
First day, how'd it go? [SIGHING.]
First night, actually, and I'm exhausted.
And the lead Blaine is just a total asshole who won't even learn my name.
He's managed to memorize my boobs.
But it's fine.
Tonight, I die a painful and dramatic death and then, I'm almost done.
Sounds awesome.
- You wanna hit? - No, I don't.
I'm gonna go to bed.
Hey, Cass, I think I'm gonna submit "Georgia" as a short for like, Tin Creek and other festivals.
Oh, that's awesome.
But with Billy or with Paige? I think Paige.
Either makes no sense.
She has a name.
Yeah, I think so.
Plus, she's gonna be so stoked.
So you obviously haven't told her yet.
Oh, no, she's at the, uh, the, uh, screen test thing.
That was at 9:00.
It's almost 12:00.
Which is weird because she hasn't texted me to tell me how it went.
What time did you guys leave last night? Um I left with Billy around 2:00 but Paige left before we did.
And she didn't text you when she got home safely? No, actually, I haven't heard from her since she left the party.
Which was when? - Um, I think, like, 11:00.
- Call her, Jake.
I'm gonna call her.
[LINE RINGING.]
She's not answering.
Let's go to her place.
I know her gate code.
Okay, I'm driving, 'cause you're high.
Babe, I will.
.
I'll see you later.
- Peace out, Adam.
- I love you.
(FEMALE #1) 'Breathe in, one, two.
Exhale out.
' [WHISPERING.]
That's it! I can't do this.
There's nothing worse than sitting still for this long.
- Nina! - No.
- Nina! - No.
Nina, Nina.
.
Hey! No, look.
.
- Wait up.
Wait, wait - I.
.
I'm sorry, Steve, I am.
I-I just.
.
I can't concentrate or.
.
or meditate or whatever you call it.
Oh, it took me years to learn how to meditate.
I don't expect you to get it on the first try.
- Don't worry.
- Okay, look.
.
It's not even that, really.
Today is the last shooting day for "Locked.
" You know, a big and important day for any producer.
Except me, because Rainer's banned me from the set.
I can't even be there for the wrap day of my own movie.
That sucks! [CHUCKLES.]
It does.
Do you wanna go get a smoothie and talk about it? - Uh, with vodka? - However you take it.
This is so decadent.
Fluffy robes, room service, I feel just like "Pretty Woman.
" But not the prostitute part.
Absolutely not.
Thank you.
For what? You made me feel better.
About myself, about everything.
[CELL PHONE RINGING.]
Hold that thought.
[CHUCKLING.]
- Hello.
- 'Jordan Wilder?' 'It's Robin Lane from "The Post.
"' How did you get my number? What do I.
.
Why are you calling me? (ROBIN) 'Are you any relation to Brandy Michaels?' 'The woman who served six years' 'for murdering an Aiden McGee?' What is it? Nothing.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
[DOGS BARKING.]
She didn't even lock it.
Paige? Hey, it's us.
Are you here? (RAINER) 'She's upstairs.
' Hey.
What the hell are you doing here? - Why are you here? Answer me! - Calm down.
Just answer the question.
What are you doing here? It's not what it looks like.
Trust me.
Wait.
.
Wha.
.
Did you two leave the party together? She needed a ride home.
You were nowhere to be found.
- And then what? - 'Guys.
.
' Oh, my God.
I'm so glad you're okay.
Yeah, we were worried sick.
Not worried enough to realize she'd passed out in my courtyard last night? Well, Paige, looks like you have a ride to set now if you need it.
- Hi.
- Hi.
What was he doing here? Why did he take you home? He drove me home because I got so drunk last night that I was throwing up the entire morning so much that I missed my screen test.
I'm sorry.
Oh, I hope it was worth it.
What's that supposed to mean? Exactly what I just said.
I hope Derek is-is giving you your finishing funds on your film.
He's not.
He's not? Great Zeus, all for nothing? [SCOFFS.]
You knew that I had the screen test.
You knew that I didn't wanna be there.
You knew that I said I was not drinking and then you let that D-bag pressure me into doing shots and-and now for what? - Look, Paige, I'm really sorry.
- Are you? Because from my perspective, you completely ignored me last night and then came barging over here to accuse me of cheating? Okay, look, maybe I should leave.
No, I should leave.
Can I have the keys? [SIGHING.]
Are you okay to drive to set? I don't know, my stomach's a little iffy.
I'm sure that this is all just a simple misunderstanding.
And you guys will work through this.
I may have failed to mention that Sloane didn't talk to me for nearly her first two years at Yale.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
Oh, she was so pissed I wouldn't let her pursue acting.
So, she stayed away from you, but did you respect her boundaries and stay away from her, too? No way.
Not exactly.
Not exactly.
Respecting their boundaries doesn't mean you cut them out of your life.
No, I, I went.
.
I visited her.
But I didn't try to talk her out of acting.
I let, I let her be her.
Which is why I wanna ask you this favor.
My studio is locking the rights to this manuscript and I think it's got the perfect first role for Sloane.
It's not the lead, it's the daughter.
But it's got "Best Supporting" written all over it.
And her reward for keeping her end of the bargain.
.
I wanna get your expert female opinion.
I would be honored.
No.
No, I don't need to fill out a report, he just arrived.
Okay, thank you.
I called you.
I texted you.
I called every rehab center, AA meeting, hospital I even called bars! Did you sleep with Paige? I heard that you left with her.
- Who told you that? - Sloane.
[SCOFFS.]
Paige is a friend.
She needed me.
Nothing happened.
I'm upset.
I'm upset at the way you acted at the fundraiser.
It made me look at us in a whole new light.
And I'm not sure this is working.
No.
.
Look, no, I'm-I'm so passionate about this charity I got, I got so ambitious I-I realized that wasn't healthy.
I got so into, I was sucked into tunnel vision.
I'm sorry.
I'm really I-I can't talk about this right now.
I, I need to sleep.
Maybe you should go back to your place.
I need some space.
[SIGHING.]
Alright, well, I guess I'll head out.
Yeah, I'm headed out to my last scene of "Locked," so.
.
With a suitcase? Um, taking the red-eye out tonight.
New York.
"Good Morning America" tomorrow.
Was supposed to talk about my movie chance at the Oscars.
.
Of course, all they're gonna ask about is the affair, probably.
Not my movie.
Jordan? I can't.
.
I can't breathe.
My chest.
.
Jordan, are you alright? [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
I.
.
It's.
.
Suddenly I can't.
.
I feel-I feel, I feel like I can't really breathe.
You're having an anxiety attack.
A-are you sure? My-my heart is beating really fast and my chest hurts.
That's exactly what it is.
Just sit down.
Don't talk.
Breathe.
This never happened before.
Do you think it's because of your fight last night with Rainer? That was.
.
This GMA interview.
All of it.
What about the phone call this morning? That was a reporter that threatened to expose my past.
The guy who was up here asking you questions? No, no, someone else now.
Now, every other reporter is gonna be in my face.
The paparazzi, the people, it's all just too much! [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
I can feel it.
They're closin' in.
I.
.
You were right about what you said to me last night.
I had a really messed up childhood.
Only a couple people out here know that.
Nina and Rainer.
But it doesn't matter now.
Pretty soon, everyone is gonna know this about me if that reporter keeps at it.
The thing about secrets is that people can hold them over you.
The only way for people not to have that power over you is if you own your truth.
Tell your side of the story.
You don't know how this works? I can lose my career.
Go to prison.
[SIGHING.]
Why did I do that? Why am I so stupid? Why did I drink so much? You did it for Jake.
Yeah.
Look where all that got me.
By the way, why did you both come over? Partly because we were worried that you'd been abducted and also because he had a surprise for you.
What? Cassy? - I shouldn't.
- But you're going to.
Jake decided to submit "Stealing Georgia" as a short instead of trying to finish it as a feature because shorts can sometimes attract a lot of attention and he wants to do it with your footage.
Oh, God, now I feel so stupid.
We just had this big fight.
Why didn't he leave with that? Wait, what do we have left to shoot on the movie if we do that? I think just the suitcase scene.
And I can totally do it 'cause today's my last day.
I really hope.
.
this turns things around for me and Jake 'cause we were so happy shooting "Stealing Georgia" and I just wanna get back to happy.
I hear ya.
I hate it when you guys fight.
Is there a time I could stop by set tonight to see you? Mm.
.
Tonight? Probably not, because I get my top ripped open and my throat slashed, so it's maybe not a good night.
Well, I really appreciate that you're here, Cass.
I know you're really tired.
Is it okay if I crash here? I don't think I'm gonna make it home.
Of course.
Thanks.
Well? This is amazing.
Do you have a producer yet? The buddy who brought it to me already has a writer and director on board.
And Ryan Gosling.
.
You know, but.
.
I-I, I'd.
.
I wouldn't want this to get in the way of, of us.
Do you think that producer's gonna stick? Yeah, I'm gonna package him with my agency so it's pretty much a done deal.
But more importantly, what did you think of the role of Carrie? I mean, i-it's perfect for Sloane, right? Well, I think all the roles are good.
I mean, it's a moving, amazing story.
And I was thinking the part of Charlie is perfect for Rainer.
Don't you think? Oh, he can do a lot more than action movies.
Wait till you see his performance in "Locked.
" I-I don't think I'd be able to get insurance.
It will cost a fortune.
Well, Robert Downey Jr.
turned it around.
Look at him now.
He's one of the biggest Box Office draws the industry has.
And they waited till he was sober.
They didn't put him in a movie for years.
Oh, no.
No, no, no.
That's not why I gave you the material.
I, I really.
.
I just wanted your expert opinion.
And my expert opinion is.
.
in a few years you're gonna be shopping for a new tuxedo because "Redemption Ridge" is gonna win every Oscar it's up for.
I just wish I could be a part of it.
Alright, that's great.
Okay.
So, uh, I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna get this to Sloane.
.
I'm gonna see what she thinks.
You know, I just.
.
I.
.
I didn't wanna do this without your opinion.
Dinner tonight? Uh, you're not gonna believe this but while you were out getting coffee Rainer texted me and asked me for the wrap party.
I mean, it's just, you know after the movie finishes shooting but I.
.
- Can you believe it? - Well, that's great.
- You should definitely go.
- Uh, do you wanna come? No, you should go.
Sounds like Rainer's finally reaching out to you.
Yeah.
[ALARM BLARING.]
- August, no! - 'No!' [GROANING.]
(MALE #1) 'Cutting! Resetting!' Okay, the director needs a couple more takes of y'all flyin' through the wormhole.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
How you holdin' up, Paige? Not the best for a hangover.
So, um.
.
Did you guys hear what happened between Katie make-up and Wendy hair? No, what are you talking about? Katie make-up was yelling pretty loudly.
I thought they were really close.
It's the last day of shooting.
- And? - People get weird.
I had a rough morning myself.
It's like they're losing a family.
'We spend all this intense time together' only to have it abruptly end.
I mean, you may work with some of them again but it's never the same.
Speaking of the end, you goin' to the wrap party tonight? I, I really didn't know there was one.
Tradition.
Everyone just parties on stage.
Well, I'm definitely not drinking.
Hey, me neither.
(PAIGE) 'Look at us.
' You should come.
You going, Jordan? You should.
It's been a lot of time with this family.
I didn't plan on it, but I could stop by.
Good.
What are you doing here? We didn't get a chance to finish our conversation.
'I know that you're upset.
' I just, I want a chance to explain myself.
I care about you.
You know that.
But I, I take my work with Trending Ocean really seriously.
It's my passion and I really wanted our fundraiser to be a success.
But I put those goals over you.
And I'm sorry.
Really.
Baby.
.
I'm not trying to make more excuses but I'm used to doing those fundraisers by myself.
You know that about me from rehab.
I don't share well with others.
But I should've included you more and I'm sorry.
Well, clearly, it was all for nothing because people were too busy drinking our free booze and partying so you can get money.
We made money.
Not on the silent auction stuff but we actually made a lot of money.
- 1.
8 million to be exact.
- Really? The trustafarians loved what you had to say about surfing in a clean ocean and the bank execs that I talked to, they decided to make Trending Ocean the corporate write-off for the year.
Babe, we make such a good team and we can go national.
We could open an office in New York City.
Maybe you could take some time off after "Locked" wraps.
You know, I actually think that's a really great idea.
Jake? (BILLY) 'We need to give this money back, Landon.
' 'If not there's a special place in hell for us.
' And that's where we're both headed.
What is this? What's going on? I-I thought you were cutting "Stealing Georgia" as a short.
Wait, the suitcase scene? That's the last scene that we have to shoot in the movie.
You.
.
Why didn't you talk to me before making this deci No, I tried calling you.
The shot just works better with Billy now since we rewrote it.
And I have a deadline I'm trying to meet.
Today's my last day.
Seriously? Can we just talk in the kitchen, please? I.
.
Uh, I'll go.
Um, I-I'll go outside.
Sorry.
The action stuff we shot in the apartment worked better than the stuff we shot in the Bixby.
It just did.
'And it's not just that.
' Okay? We-we did a lot of rewrites.
Rewrites that had to be done.
Rewrites that made the script better.
'And-and then I-I-I became a better director.
' Uh, this whole process I've improved and so, yeah.
.
I got to change everything I got wrong the first time.
Including casting me? No, don't.
I.
.
I don't wanna cry.
It's not about you.
Then what is it about? Are you punishing me? Are you punishing me for last night? Is-is.
.
Nothing happened with Rainer! Cassy told me that you were coming over to tell me that you were using our film, our footage our baby, and-and now, suddenly you aren't.
No.
Okay, no.
It's not Rainer.
I'm a better director now, that's it.
No, that is such bullshit! And you know it! You're gonna stand in front of me and be a coward and pretend that it is about your film making.
What have we come to? You know, or maybe I'm.
.
Maybe I'm making an excuse too one that I can actually stump me because what you're also not saying is.
.
you like her version better than mine.
No.
No, Paige, that's not true.
I have to go.
I have to go to set.
It's my last day, which is ironic because you decided that I wasn't worth waiting one more day for.
One more day! [INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC.]
I know I shouldn't go there But I'm goin' anywhere I'm cavin' in I can't resist I let it all in If it ends like this I'm cavin' in I'm cavin' in - Paige! - Oh! My name's Jeremy.
I'm a tour guide here at Gold Brothers.
Hi.
I'm sorry, uh, you.
.
Uh, literally just scared everything out of me.
I come by here five, six times a day.
Sometimes I come in when you're just shooting a scene and just watch.
I'm a big fan of yours.
I just wanna tell you how much I've enjoyed working with you.
I just love your acting style and your approach to the craft.
Thank you.
Hey, new car? I miss your old junker.
What did you call it? The Rabbit? Yeah, yeah, uh, Th-the Rabbit.
It's awesome, um.
.
I-I actually still have it in the garage.
I'll miss seeing you.
I hope you get another role here at Gold Brothers real soon.
I'll see you around.
Bye.
[PANTING.]
[SCREAMING.]
[SCREAMING.]
- It's your turn to die! - What the hell, dude? (MALE #2) 'Cut! That's a cut!' 'Go again.
' What was wrong with that? Blaine.
.
you're not supposed to rip the shirt completely off.
'If you see the tattoo on her stomach' you'll know she's of the family.
Okay, going again.
Back to one.
(MALE #2) 'Back to one on the bell.
' 'And action!' [PANTING.]
Help! [SCREAMING.]
Now it's your turn to die! (MALE #2) 'Cut! Cut! Let's do this again.
' (FEMALE #2) 'Okay, guys, we need you to go again.
' Help! Help! Now it's your time to die, bitch.
Not tonight, it isn't.
[GROANING.]
- 'Cut!' - Oh! [SIGHING.]
Career is so over.
What the hell was that? You just decide to go off script and practically kill me? Me, you're the one who went off script and decided to choke me with your death grip.
And last time, you actually cut off my air supply! - Cassandra.
- I know, I screwed up.
I'm sorry, I will get my things.
Where did that come from? That was amazing! Truly inspiring, what you did.
.
It.
.
That's so real just now.
Her character is not supposed to get away.
- That's not scripted.
- Exactly.
Exactly.
It's not in the script, but it should be.
Cassandra, now I'm thinking, y-you're not third girl to die.
You're the fifth, or the, or the sixth.
I'm re-writing the script.
Yeah, you know, we're gonna give the audience a real good old fashioned Ripley-type heroine.
Congratulations, Cassandra.
You live to die another day.
Well, looks like I moved up on the call sheet.
And by the way, my name's Cassandra Perkins.
You should probably remember it 'cause it looks like we'll be working together for a while.
The good times The good times Wow.
Can't believe this is really it.
It's actually over.
Endings are sad but important.
- Yeah.
- But just you watch.
Next film, you'll immediately fall in love with a whole new crew.
Happens every movie.
Because there's much drama on this one.
I mean, Jordan wasn't even gonna show up until he heard that Tangey was off recording.
And Alexis.

is not here because of everyone.
Just, not sure if all of us like the beginning again.
I'm gonna go to the bar.
You want a drink? No, thank you.

Look, I need to say something about all of this.
Sure.
Anything.
If you need to go with Paige as the lead, I totally get it.
No.
No, no, no, come on.
We rewrote the script, it's a completely different movie now.
- But that isn't her fault.
- No, of course not.
It's no one's fault, look, this isn't about punishment or who I'm dating or any of that.
The fight you saw earlier had absolutely nothing to do with you.
So sit on it.
I mean, what's the rush, Jake? It has to be this year.
No, because Paige's cruise is taking off and if I'm still struggling making these crappy little movies she's not gonna wanna be with me.
We'll talk about it tomorrow.
But I'll be okay with whatever you decide.

[MUSIC CONTINUES.]
[MUSIC STOPS.]
Hi, everyone.
Uh, I just want to take a moment to say a few words.
[SIGHING.]
You've all been so good to me.
'As you all know I.
.
' 'went through a lot during the production of this movie.
' But.
.
the one silver lining, my one saving grace.
.
was that you were all there for me and supported me.
And it wasn't just the obvious people.
I felt the outpouring of love and support from all the departments.
Many of you whom I've known, really, my whole life.
And, if I haven't known you my whole life.
.
it feels like I have.
[SIGHING.]
So, I-I just want you all to know that.
.
I love each and every one of you.
.
from the bottom of my heart.
(MALE #3) 'We love you, man.
' Which is why it's so hard for me to tell you all.
.
that I'm leaving Hollywood.
[ALL GASPING.]
'For good.
' 'Acting served its purpose' 'and I'm moving on.
' So, this really is a wrap for Rainer Devon.
It feels like a casual romance I'm just feelin' you off the grid - Hey.
- Hi.
So, I guess I should say goodbye to you now because it sounds like you're leaving tomorrow.
Nah, don't forget we'll have ADR sessions.
Maybe a re-shoot or two.
You can't get rid of me that easily.
And why oh my ey-eyes Have why oh.
.
Why do I feel like you're not as into Rainer leaving as he is? Oh.
You're mistaken, Nina.
I want whatever's best for Rainer and if getting out of Hollywood is what he needs then that's exactly what we're gonna do.
[SCOFFS.]
Leaving is the biggest mistake of his life.
I know my son.
And what he wants most is critical acclaim.
He's dreamt of getting an Oscar his entire life.
Well, no offense, but he's not getting one for the types of movies that you produce.

Brian, it's Nina.
I need you to track down the number of an author.
Marva Dunwoody.
She wrote a manuscript that Steve Silver is packaging.
"Redemption Ridge.
" Yeah, just get it for me by tomorrow.
Yes, I want you to start working on it right now.
Yes, now! You know, you don't have to retire retire.
You can just take a break.
I'm thinking we should start a Trending Ocean on the East Coast.
And we should relocate to make sure it gets off the ground.
Yeah, but we don't have to do that.
We can just hire someone to set up the East Coast branch.
You know, I just-I don't think we need to rush this.
No, I feel really confident that this is exactly what we should do.
I can go solo and set it up.
I wouldn't wanna leave those big decisions up to just anyone, you know? Hmm.
.
I think Manhattan is the place to be.

Feels like a song O-o-o-o-o-o-o And, and, Jordan, I have to say I know there's a lot of Oscar buzz surrounding you after your Golden Globe win.
- Good stuff.
- Yeah.
But, Jordan, that all changed after the news broke that you and Nina Devon had an affair possibly when you were a minor.
Uh, I was-I was eighteen.
Are you protecting Nina Devon? Because you were on the "Backsplash" set when you were sixteen.
I was eighteen but I like to talk about my film.
Rainer Devon is a good friend of yours, correct? And have you spoken to him since the scandal broke? What does he think about all this? See, that's the thing about secrets, they always come out.
No matter what they come out.
Uh.
.
And what do you, what do you mean by that? My real name is Jordan Michaels.
'I'm, I'm not an orphan.
' 'My mom, she served six years in prison' 'for killin' her boyfriend.
' 'But the thing is, she didn't do it.
' 'I did.
' [AUDIENCE GASPING.]
'This guy, he, he beat her, he beat me.
.
' for years.
And one day, he was takin' it out on her and I.
.
I fought back.
I killed him.
(FEMALE #3) 'Wow, um.
.
' I think we're all in shock.
[STAMMERING.]
Is-is there anything else that you'd like to add, Jordan? No.
Just that, Nina, she, she knew all my mistakes.
'All the things I was tryin' to hide, and.
.
' 'she believed in me anyway.
