47. Sally Reed:
I have a question.Copy !req
48. Uh, there's that...Copy !req
49. great scene
where MedusabbyCopy !req
50. is hooking up
with the bartender,Copy !req
51. and the snakes keep
falling out of her hat?Copy !req
52. That's funny.Copy !req
53. That's not supposed to be funny.Copy !req
54. - It's supposed to be real.
- Oh.Copy !req
55. Um, right.
Well, the... snakes
on her head felt real.Copy !req
56. But then, she turns
him to stone. But then,Copy !req
57. she's still horny,
so she sucksCopy !req
58. and then eats his dick.Copy !req
59. Is that literal?Copy !req
60. - What else would it be?
- Sally: Um,Copy !req
61. Well, I was thinkingCopy !req
62. that maybe it could be...
more of a conversation.Copy !req
63. Like, uh, it could be
about her longing, maybe.Copy !req
64. Or, you know, like how
she can't get close to peopleCopy !req
65. because of the whole
snake thing.Copy !req
66. I guess I just...Copy !req
67. I just wanna know
what she's thinking.Copy !req
68. She just wants to get laid.Copy !req
69. And it's funny.Copy !req
70. Right, but if
she wants to get laid,Copy !req
71. then why does
she bite his dick off?Copy !req
72. What?Copy !req
73. She does have
a point, Mel.Copy !req
74. So... J-j-just...Copy !req
75. Hm...Copy !req
76. Wow.Copy !req
77. Good job.
That was ballsy as fuck.Copy !req
78. - Really?
- Oh my god.Copy !req
79. You said everything
we've been thinking,Copy !req
80. but never would've said
in a million years.Copy !req
81. - How the fuck is he a showrunner?
- He's been around for forever.Copy !req
82. I think he was a writer on "Everybody Loves Raymond."Copy !req
83. - What's that?
- Claire: Some new show that thinks they're just hilarious.Copy !req
84. Apparently, the showrunner
is a fucking party.Copy !req
85. The villain of the showCopy !req
86. who's also—
wait for it,Copy !req
87. wait for it, the love interest!Copy !req
88. Okay!Copy !req

92. Make me an appointment
at the acupuncturistCopy !req
93. where Chloe Grace Moretz
gets hers done,Copy !req
94. but make sure that
it's with the tattoo guyCopy !req
95. - and not the fangs girl because I did not like her.
- Okay.Copy !req
96. Ding-ding!
Oof, I'm hungry.Copy !req
97. But not for any of that stuff.Copy !req
98. So you have your own show?Copy !req

my daughter in Central Park.Copy !req
102. - What's it called?

103. So you stole my show.Copy !req
104. No. It's actually a really
important story to me.Copy !req
105. It's not a story.Copy !req
106. - It's a fucking math equation!
- I'm actually feeling really uncomfortable right now.Copy !req
107. You have nothing to
say about anything.Copy !req
108. You've never struggled a day
in your whole fucking life!Copy !req
109. Nobody's ever put a hand
around your fucking neck!Copy !req
110. This was my story!
My story!Copy !req
111. You don't even have

128. Yes. Yes, they do
deal drugs. Um...Copy !req
129. Do you know where maybe?Copy !req
130. A house
or apartment building?Copy !req
131. Maybe a cross street, perhaps.Copy !req
132. Yep. Okay.Copy !req
133. That's what I thought
you were doing,Copy !req
134. but did not want
to be rude, so...Copy !req
135. Ooh...Copy !req
136. Ooh...Copy !req
137. No, no, no. Don't laugh.
Keep it going, kids.Copy !req
138. Now!
How do you feel?Copy !req
139. - Like a ghost.
- Wrong. How do you feel?Copy !req
140. - Embarrassed.
- She's right. Okay.Copy !req
141. Now, do the scene.Copy !req
142. Doctor,
the generators are down.Copy !req
143. If we don't get electricity
back in the park,Copy !req
144. the dinosaurs will escape.Copy !req
145. - Let's split up.
- Stop.Copy !req
146. Alright, do you see
the difference, huh?Copy !req
147. It is all in the body.
It's much more real.Copy !req
148. Now, I believe
she's got the code.Copy !req
149. He's going to ride the dinosaur.
It's all going to be fine.Copy !req
150. You've got to embrace
your embarrassment.Copy !req
151. Do I look like a fool?
Not my problem.Copy !req
152. You know, that was good.
I don't think there's any needCopy !req
153. to switch out those students.Copy !req
154. - So? How was that, boss?
- Yeah, fine.Copy !req
155. So, you want me to mark
the first or second take?Copy !req
156. You know, I haven't
done this in 20 years.Copy !req
157. I have no fucking idea
what I'm doing.Copy !req
158. Do you need a minute?Copy !req
159. I don— I don't want
him to know.Copy !req
160. Okay. I won't tell him.Copy !req
161. No, dude, I'm having...Copy !req
162. a full-on fucking
panic attack.Copy !req
163. Hey, don't panic.
It looks really good.Copy !req
164. - It does?
- Yeah, you're doing great.Copy !req
165. What was your name again?Copy !req
166. It's Sheryl.Copy !req
167. Sheryl scripting.
Thanks, Sheryl.Copy !req
168. - Mark take two. Mark take two.
- Okay.Copy !req
169. Jim Moss?Copy !req
170. Ken Goulet.Copy !req
171. Jim Moss:
Mind if we go for a drive?Copy !req
172. And, seriously, I don't
know what happened,Copy !req
173. but, uh, the cops
just let him go.Copy !req
174. So, here's my card.Copy !req
175. Address is on the back.Copy !req
176. You know this how?Copy !req
177. - He told you.
- Nah. Got my ways of finding out.Copy !req
178. Couple of tours in country,Copy !req
179. you learn some things.Copy !req
180. I was in 'Nam.Copy !req
181. - I was a fighter pilot.
- No shit.Copy !req
182. Yeah. Got shot down. Captured.Copy !req
183. Candy asses.
They make you talk?Copy !req
184. I got in my interrogator's head,Copy !req
185. and he ended up
committing suicide.Copy !req
186. Me and some of
the other guys escaped.Copy !req
187. You convinced your interrogator
to kill himself?Copy !req
188. Yeah.Copy !req
189. Some of the other guys said
I had an aptitude for it,Copy !req
190. but, uh, I thought
they were just being nice.Copy !req
191. But, when I got
to SERE school,Copy !req
192. they pulled me out of class
and made me an instructor.Copy !req
193. And the guy killed himself?Copy !req
194. Hm. Was he depressed?Copy !req
195. I wanted my daughter, Janice,
to get into it. She resisted.Copy !req
196. She said, "Daddy,
what you do is fucked up."Copy !req
197. Did you get any sense
of his home life?Copy !req
198. Yeah, and then she went
and did her homicide thing.Copy !req
199. I was proud of her.Copy !req
200. I mean, heh, he worked
in a prison campCopy !req
201. in the jungle during Vietnam.Copy !req
202. Seems like he might have
been a ticking clock.Copy !req
203. I'm not saying, you know,
anything against you, man.Copy !req
204. It's just— it might be
a right man,
right day situation.Copy !req
205. You know, for instance,
I got this super touchy cousin.Copy !req
206. And one day at breakfast I said,Copy !req
207. "Hey, Don, you don't know how
to make a proper short stack."Copy !req
208. And he put down his spatulaCopy !req
209. and he went out back
and he hung himself.Copy !req
210. I'm no kind of genius
or anything, but, uh,Copy !req
211. just a simple tonnage...Copy !req
212. issue...Copy !req
213. Shit.Copy !req
214. That's him. 100%.Copy !req
215. Okay, um...Copy !req
216. Mr. Moss, he...Copy !req
217. kills your daughter,Copy !req
218. and then he shows up
at your door. Why?Copy !req
219. He was claiming that Janice's
killer was still out there.Copy !req
220. Said it was a student
in Gene Cousineau's class,Copy !req
221. Barry Berkman.Copy !req
222. Fed me some line about
how I could get justice.Copy !req
223. Chief Krauss:
Gentlemen.Copy !req
224. Respectfully,Copy !req
225. this is the Raven,Copy !req
226. and he's trapped you like a fox.Copy !req
227. If he gets Jim here
to kill Berkman,Copy !req
228. it throws suspicion
away from him.Copy !req
229. But we're not falling for that.Copy !req
230. No matter how many people
tell us it was Berkman,Copy !req
231. we know it was this guy.Copy !req
232. - Who else said it was Berkman?
- Cousineau.Copy !req
233. Chief Krauss:
This is what I'm talking about.Copy !req
234. This Raven guy
clearly knew CousineauCopy !req
235. was convinced it was Barry,Copy !req
236. and he's trying
to keep that lie going.Copy !req
237. He's an evil genius.Copy !req
238. I want to talk to Fuches alone.
No cameras.Copy !req
239. - Mae Dunn: That's not how we do things.
- Whoa, Mae.Copy !req
240. Hey, now, this is the FBI.Copy !req
241. Okay? They're pros.Copy !req
242. You want a phonebook
to hit him with?Copy !req
243. Sock full of coins?Copy !req
244. Oh no...Copy !req
245. No...Copy !req
246. Oh no...Copy !req
247. What's...Copy !req
248. Hello?Copy !req
249. Hello!Copy !req
250. Akhmal
Hank?Copy !req
251. Akhmal?Copy !req
252. Akhmal
Hank.Copy !req
253. Are you okay?Copy !req
254. Are they torturing you?Copy !req
255. Yes.Copy !req
256. They want to know
about you and Cristobal.Copy !req
257. And how Fernando was killed.Copy !req
258. Where are we?Copy !req
259. We don't know.Copy !req
260. There are about four men.Copy !req
261. And Elena.Copy !req
262. Hank...Copy !req
263. I'm almost out of my handcuffs.Copy !req
264. I have one loose.Copy !req
265. He's bleeding very bad, Hank.Copy !req
266. Um...Copy !req
267. What can I do?Copy !req
268. When I get loose,Copy !req
269. I'll free Akhmal.Copy !req
270. Be ready.Copy !req
271. Okay.Copy !req
272. - Hey, Lindsay.
- Lindsay We have a problem.Copy !req
273. - What now?
- Lindsay: I just sent it to you.Copy !req
274. - ... this is how you fucking betray me?
- I cubed your carrots for you.Copy !req
275. Oh my god. - Entitled cunt!Copy !req
276. - You entitled fucking cunt!
- Lindsay: She was recording you.Copy !req
277. Entitled fucking cunt!Copy !req
278. "Medusas" sent it to me.
They're dropping you.Copy !req
279. They don't feel like
someone who talks like thisCopy !req
280. belongs in their room.Copy !req
281. - I have to post an apology.
- Lindsay: No, you don't!Copy !req
282. Listen, I-I'm
coming over, okay?Copy !req
283. Bob Jacobson: That was perfect, Gene.Copy !req
284. - Gene: Wow, really?
- Bob: Yeah, it was unbelievable.Copy !req
285. I loved how engaged
the class was.Copy !req
286. I loved how warm
you are on stage.Copy !req
287. Now, I can tell...Copy !req
288. - teaching gives you joy.
- You know it does.Copy !req
289. But what about Annie?Copy !req
290. Shh— where are you from?Copy !req
291. Um, New York by
way of Minnesota.Copy !req
292. You're a talent.Copy !req
293. Shh.Copy !req
294. The way you photographed Gene,
you made him so,Copy !req
295. uh...Copy !req
296. - Masculine?
- No.Copy !req
297. - Uh, virile? Rugged?
- No.Copy !req
298. - Brawny. Gallant. Robust.
- Nope.Copy !req
299. Tom Posorro:
Lantern-jawed?Copy !req
300. - Un homme pour tous saisons?
- No, no, no, no.Copy !req
301. Tall.Copy !req
302. Absolutely. He was like
a real giant out there.Copy !req
303. He was, uh,
very Adonis-like.Copy !req
304. - Yeah.
- And actually, it was— it was all really due to Annie.Copy !req
305. Yes, I've got some
other projectsCopy !req
306. that I'd love
to talk to you about.Copy !req
307. Who's your agent?Copy !req
308. I haven't had
an agent since 1982.Copy !req
309. Well, I could possibly
be of help to you.Copy !req
310. It doesn't matter.Copy !req
311. I want to get you in a room.Copy !req
312. - Very impressed.
- Gene: You should be.Copy !req
313. You don't know what's coming
down the pike. She's incredible.Copy !req
314. Absolutely marvelous.Copy !req
315. I think she did great.Copy !req
316. Jim.Copy !req
317. What are you—
What are you doing here?Copy !req
318. The man who, uh,Copy !req
319. took you out to Janice's
body contacted me.Copy !req
320. Why?Copy !req
321. He said he was
some investigator.Copy !req
322. He's in jail now.Copy !req
323. How?Copy !req
324. I took him there.Copy !req
325. W— So, he's talking
to the police now?Copy !req
326. What do you think he's saying?Copy !req
327. He said your student
Barry killed Janice.Copy !req
328. Barry's a good kid.Copy !req
329. That's not in him. I mean,
you know he was in war,Copy !req
330. and he's like a mixed-up dummy,Copy !req
331. but he's a good egg.Copy !req
332. He was with us at the cabin.Copy !req
333. Now, I wish he was armed.Copy !req
334. Maybe he could have killed
those guys that took Janice.Copy !req
335. You know, those Russians, but...Copy !req
336. No, that's not in him.Copy !req
337. Congratulations on the show.Copy !req
338. I would like
to sincerely apologizeCopy !req
339. for my perceived transgressionCopy !req
340. against my former employee...
Well, friend,Copy !req
341. and employee Natalie Greer.Copy !req
342. Now, despite the fact
that the four-letter word
in question hereCopy !req
343. was traditionally used
as a form of kinship
between womenCopy !req
344. and is widely used in Europe,
I do understandCopy !req
345. that I have offended
a few people...Copy !req
346. It's the truth. - ... and for that I am deeply sorry,Copy !req
347. but I just want to say
be careful who you trust,Copy !req
348. you know? Because it takes
a certain type of person...Copy !req
349. - to record a private...
- This isn't an apology.Copy !req
350. - This is damage control.
- It's the fucking truth!Copy !req
351. It has nothing to do with
what happened with Natalie,Copy !req
352. and frankly, it cheapens
what you set out to do
with your show.Copy !req
353. My show... is me,Copy !req
354. Lindsay, and she stole
my fucking show!Copy !req
355. If you had just let me
deal with this...Copy !req
356. instead— Why did you
have to say something?Copy !req
357. Oh, fuck off!Copy !req
358. You don't care about me.Copy !req
359. You don't care about "Joplin."Copy !req
360. You just care about
your commission. "Oh! Oh!Copy !req
361. It's so important to have a
great relationship with BanShe!"Copy !req
362. You want the relationship
with BanShe, not me.Copy !req
363. You work for me!Copy !req
364. And I am fucking drowning!Copy !req
365. And instead of trying
to help me,Copy !req
366. you're just trying
to save yourself.Copy !req
367. This is honest, okay?
This is the honest
fucking truth.Copy !req
368. And if that makes me unhirable,
then I am fucking unhirable,Copy !req
369. but at least I told
the fucking truth!Copy !req
370. And I promise,
going forward,Copy !req
371. not to let that passion...Copy !req
372. I have to drop you.Copy !req
373. And I'm sorry.Copy !req
374. Good.Copy !req
375. 'Cause I don't wanna
work with liars.Copy !req
376. And because of that,
I've made a donationCopy !req
377. to BeatBackBullying.org...Copy !req
378. Okay.Copy !req
379. to share your stories
in the comments below.Copy !req
380. George Krempf:
You know the sound of kids'
footsteps early in the morning?Copy !req
381. I still hear it.Copy !req
382. I can hear him in his room
on his computer.Copy !req
383. I'll talk to him from my office
across the hall.Copy !req
384. Full conversations.Copy !req
385. My wife says I'm...Copy !req
386. losing my mind.
She, uh,Copy !req
387. she thinks this cityCopy !req
388. turned him into some devil. I...Copy !req
389. I never wanted to hurt
anyone my whole life.Copy !req
390. Until we had Ryan.Copy !req
391. Oh, the love I had
for that child.Copy !req
392. It terrified me. I mean—Copy !req
393. What would I do if
something happened to him?Copy !req
394. A-and then I-I found out
what you did, and...Copy !req
395. I can't.Copy !req
396. I-I-I could leave you here,
and you'll rot.Copy !req
397. But I can't.Copy !req
398. Why?Copy !req
399. Why?Copy !req
400. I want to see my son again.Copy !req
401. White male, late 60s,Copy !req
402. self-inflicted,
possible DOA.Copy !req
403. Check those vitals!Copy !req
404. Hi.Copy !req
405. Listen, I'm gonna be
straight with you. Um...Copy !req
406. You tell me what you know.
You cooperate.Copy !req
407. I help you.Copy !req
408. I told you what I know.Copy !req
409. Why'd you go see Jim Moss?Copy !req
410. To give him information
about who killed his daughter.Copy !req
411. And who's that?Copy !req
412. - Ask him.
- I'm asking you.Copy !req
413. Hm...Copy !req
414. Oh, by the way,
those cameras are off.Copy !req
415. Why?Copy !req
