Previously on Blunt Talk.

A family in LA are living in
a harmonious zero waste manner.

I mean, they're hoping that by having
no impact, they'll have an impact.

Ow.

Walter wanted me to convey
his most sincere apologies

for bumping you off the show again.

- How do you know Walter?
- He's my sex and love addict sponsor.

- Rosalie, this is Rosalie.
- What?

Here's my weird thing. I
get too drunk at parties.

Major described a good orgasm

like a red comet
followed by a black abyss.

You were the nicest guy
I've met in a long time.

- This is all my fault.
- Oh, don't beat yourself up.

Not everything is your fault.

[gunfire] I need help!

I'll be right there! [explosion]

Major!

[water splashes]
[people yelling]

Major, are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine, Harry.

I don't feel so muddled
when I look at the sky.

Very good, sir.

Is that Ronnie's petting goat?

Yes, sir. He forgot her.

She's a sweet lass.

Yes, I looked into her eyes last night.

Very soulful.

She would have made a
great silent film star.

I would agree, sir.

That was quite the party, sir.

The boys would be proud.

Yes.

What's the word on Dr. Weiss?

He's in a stable condition, sir.

Should be out in a week.

Oh, excellent.

I saw you sneak into the tent with Sylvia.

Yes, Major.

I may have had a
breakthrough with my issue.

Only took 50-odd years.

Harry, I'm so pleased to hear this.

I didn't see the red comet
followed by the black void

as you described it, sir,

but I did tell Sylvia I loved her.

I-I couldn't help myself.

Well, that's all right. It's natural.

[mutters] It happens.

Could I have some more coffee, please?

Well, I didn't sneak off
with anyone last night.

But I did smoke some marijuana.

Yes, sir.

I had a somewhat alarming dream.

Or flashback.

The day that Westhoff and Kent, you know.

Yes, sir.

[softly] I hesitated, Harry.

And then there was too much fire.

I... I couldn't get to them.

I've never told you exactly
what happened before.

You haven't needed to, sir.

I've always known you blame yourself.

Unfairly.

I shouldn't be here, Harry.

I should have gone with them.

Then who would have saved me?

I don't know if it's of interest, sir,

but I saw an article last month

about a psychologist here in LA

who works with vets who have
post-traumatic stress disorder.

You think I have PTSD?

Perhaps we both have a touch of it, sir.

I don't have PTSD, Harry.

How could I have
functioned all these years?

You function, but it doesn't
mean you don't suffer.

We could try to see him today.

He has a unique approach.

Hi. Great party, Walter. [giggles]

- Do you have any coffee?
- Hershel, is that my robe?

Not to worry. No sex happened in this robe.

[laughs] Okay, bye.

That one is a firecracker.
We'll discuss it at group.

- Here we go.
- Oh, thank you.

No, no, Martin.

You have to look us in
the eye when you drink.

Otherwise it means years of bad sex.

Yeah, I didn't look someone
in the eyes back in '79.

I was cursed with premature ejaculation

till I met Rosalie in '85.

Oh, sorry.

Oh, I got you some things for
your trip to the Appalachian Trail.

I'll be right back.

[both sigh]

Teddy seems really good.

He's taking huge doses of vitamin E.

- Oh.
- Maybe it'll help.

So did you have a nice time

with the other Rosalie last night?

Eh, it was okay.

But she's not as fun as you.

[laughs] Course she's not.

Oh.

I'm gonna miss you, Martin.

[softly] Yeah.

Are you sure you have to go find yourself

on the Appalachian Trail?

I'm only walking a part of the trail,

so I might not find my whole self.

Stand up, son.

A journey requires a proper benediction.

Mark Strand, one of the
greats. Let me read a few lines.

"In a field, I am the absence of field.

This is always the case wherever I am.

I am what is missing."

Everything a man needs
for a proper walkabout.

A stick, a book of poetry, a compass,

and a kiss.

Mm.

Oh, my two men.

And pull. Pull. Pull.

Really feel that music, you guys.

I work on the principle
that the body and the mind

are deeply connected.

They're like two very good friends.

They're like you two.

The thing that's important
for you to understand is

that you can approach your
issues through the body.

But, Doctor, can I have had PTSD

for over 30 years and not know it?

Well, it's impossible to
tell by just looking at you.

But let me ask you a question.

How do you feel inside your body right now?

- What do you mean?
- Your blink response.

How does your body feel here at its center?

- On guard.
- Why?

- Self-defense.
- Are you afraid?

- Yes.
- Are you afraid of me?

No, I don't think so.

Well, then fear might
be your resting position.

Like a car set at the wrong idle.

How about you, Harry? How do you feel

inside your body right now?

[softly] I don't feel anything.

Excellent. Excellent responses both of you.

Now tell me, what sort
of music do you like?

- Buddy Holly.
- Taylor Swift.

- Randy Newman.
- Anything with a flute.

[rings] Hey, Mom.

What's wrong? Your face looks funny.

Nothing. I... I think I'm happy.

Well, that's wonderful. What happened?

Well, don't tell Dad, because
he'll ask too many questions,

but there's... there's this girl at...

You're in love? Is it mutual?

Can she have children?

Uh, it's probably not mutual,

but it's just nice to
feel something, you know?

How's Walter?

He still seeing that Freudian?

Yes, but Dr. Weiss had a heart attack

last night from cocaine.

Figures.

Yeah, it is terrible.

We must express our feelings.

Otherwise the body
breaks, so does the mind.

Shakespeare said, "My tongue
will tell the anger of my heart,

or else my heart,
concealing it, will break."

- Taming of the Shrew.
- Yes, exactly.

So as you can see, I'm not
really saying anything very new.

And you think that dance can help this?

Yes. Now, this is not a cure.

It's just a part of our
overall holistic approach.

Martha, Linda.

What I'd like to do now is just give you

a sort of a brief introduction to the work.

I don't know, ladies.
This seems somewhat absurd.

I won't step on your toes, I promise.

You liked dancing during your
near-death experience, Major.

Ready?

Okay. Step, step, step.
You
left me feeling sad and blue...

Whoo! Come on, Major.
I
don't know what I'm gonna do

- Morning, everyone.
- ALL: Morning.

We have a lot to do, so let's
get started with Dr. Mendelson,

the post-traumatic
stress disorder specialist

whom Harry and I saw this weekend.

He thinks that I may have...

PTSD.

And that my body has been set on frightened

for the past 33 years.

Are you sure? This is terrible.

No, what is terrible
is not dealing with it.

I have spent the last 24 hours researching

the most current treatments,
including psychomotor

and dance therapy.

I want to do a series on this.

As I educate myself, we
can educate our audience.

If I talk about having PTSD,

there are so many people,
especially veterans,

whom we can help.

A six-part series? I
always like six-part series.

Sure, and I booked Dr.
Mendelson for tonight.

Oh, but we have a packed show, Walter.

Yeah, and the interview segment
is the zero-impact family.

Oh, shit. Oh, I really want
to get this series started.

But then their message
is terribly crucial, too.

We could shift the zero-impact
family to tomorrow night.

That could work. Tonight
we focus on helping

people with PTSD, tomorrow the environment.

How many times have we bumped the Adlers?

This will be the third.

Well, that's not very much.

We will put them up in
an eco-friendly hotel.

- Celia, bump the Adlers.
- But I bumped them last time.

And I bumped them the time before that.

- Jim, bump the Adlers.
- What?

I... you know I'm not good at bumping.

Jim, if you can broadcast, you can bump.

[mumbling] Try and relax, Duncan.

Chew your lettuce wrap and breathe.

I am chewing and
breathing. Don't pick on me.

We're about to be on national television.

This is what we've been waiting for.

You're starving your brain of oxygen.

- And that's why you feel panicked.
- I don't feel panicked!

[knock on door]
Yes!? Come in. Come in.

Hey, uh, Mr. and Mrs. Adler.

Um, my name's Jim and I would like...

You're here for the
pre-interview, of course.

Um, here, we prepared a list

of questions this time for Mr. Blunt.

We thought it might be helpful.

Oh, ahem, sweet. Cool.

Uh, questions.

Um...

[Jim clears throat]

uh... [chuckles]

Oh, no. You're here to bump us.

- No, it can't be.
- Gaia damn it.

Did you say gay damn it?

I said Gaia damn it.

It's the Greek mother of nature.
It's an Earth-friendly curse.

- Oh.
- But look what you made me do.

I littered. There's chickpeas
everywhere going to waste.

- [back cracks] Ow! Ow.
- Oh, Dunky.

- Oh, what's happening?
- Oh.

I'm having a crippling back spasm.

What do you think is happening?

- Oh, Gaia. I'm sorry.
- Ow.

Um, Walter promises

that he'll have you on
tomorrow night. I swear.

Can you say with 100% certainty

that we're gonna be on
Blunt Talk tomorrow?

Well, I mean...

I can't believe this.
Please get out of here.

Okay, but Walter wants to put
you up in a eco-friendly hotel.

Out! You are the worst bumper yet.

Yeah, I know. Thanks.

I knew they were gonna bump us.

I'm taking this to the next level.

I don't have a lot of
time to make it happen.

Duncan! You left your cell phone charged?

Yeah, sometimes we got to make
compromises for the greater good.

What, you don't love me anymore?

No, I will always love you, Duncan.

All right, now before I make these calls,

I want you to walk on my back.

But give me something to bite on

so I don't sever my tongue like last time.

[whispers] Here you go.

[cracks] [screaming]

[screaming continues]

There.

That's a good Dunky.

Where's Walter, Harry?

He's in the edit with Shelly

going over clips for the PTSD segment.

He's really invested in this.

Yes.

Well, I think he's trying
to make up for the war.

Poor Major. He's been carrying

a lot of guilt for a long time.

What about you, Rosalie. Are you all right?

Seem a little blue.

[sighs] I am.

I can't stop worrying about Teddy.

- Oh.
- I was hoping Walter and I might spoon.

Do you want me to fetch him?

No, he's busy.

Would you like to spoon, Harry?

I'd be honored.

Jim?

Hey. Hey.

How did it go with the Adlers?

Not well. He became hysterical.

Oh, God, I'm so sorry.

I hate bumping. I'm the worst at it.

Yeah, me, too. But don't be down.

Let's think of something positive.

Um...

Oh, no, I... I can't come up with anything.

Yeah, me neither. I feel
like I'm a rescue dog.

I'm, just, like, permanently
scared of other people.

[sighs]

Um, I think I just...

I think I just thought
of something positive.

It's... it's kind of embarrassing.

[chuckles] Should I tell you?

Well, you have to now.

Even though you got drunk
at the party and passed out,

I really liked being there with you.

I really like spending time with you.

You know, socially.

Or not.

I feel the same.

I'm gonna put the pillow back on.

[sighs]

This is nice.

I thought your passion was knitting, Harry.

When did you start reading romance novels?

This weekend.

See, my trauma had me
numb for the longest time.

Mm-hmm.

But then at the party, well,

I had something of a sexual awakening.

I can tell, Harry. It's very nice.

Oh, dear.

I'm so sorry.

I... I don't have a lot of
experience with spooning.

Oh, I don't mind.

Oh, okay.

What are you two doing?

You're in the wrong positions.

I'm trying something new.

Well, get up at once. Both of you.

We have a very important
broadcast to work on.

Let's have a good show, everyone.

Five, four, three...

Good evening. Welcome to Blunt Talk.

I am Walter Blunt, right here, right now.

- Tonight on Blunt Talk...
- DUNCAN: Everybody!

Everybody, this is a
takeover, but stay calm.

What the hell is this, Mr. Adler?

[gunshot] Ah, whoa! Ah.

[people screaming] Sorry. I'm sorry.

Stay back. No one move.
Don't cut. Keep the camera on.

- Major!
- No, Harry, stay in the control room.

Keep them all calm in there.

All right, you with the headset,
tell them to keep it rolling.

Uh, stay live. Stay live.

Stay live, yeah. Stay
live and we all stay alive.

Yeah, here we go. Ow.

Mr. Blunt, sit down,
please. Here we go.

Mr. Adler, you have everyone's attention,

but you are in serious
trouble. [screaming]

Now, please, give me that gun right now

and everything will go much better for you.

- Sit down!
- No.

Okay, fine, I'll stand.

This is the interview
we were supposed to have.

Ask me the questions.

I will not do anything that you ask.

I was sympathetic to your cause,

but I am not sympathetic to violence.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hey!

If I'm crazy enough to do this,

I am crazy enough to shoot you.

Walter, listen to him.

What is that? What's that?

All right. That's what I'll do.

[sighs]

Is there any hope for the environment?

Whew, coming out swinging.

Excellent question.

Yes, there is hope for the
environment. [monitor beeping]

You know, I grew up
in LA and they said

there was nothing that
could be done about the smog.

But in the last 40 years, the
smog has been reduced by 98%

and there are four times as many cars on
the road and four times as many people.

So, yes, I'd say we're capable of change.

OFFICER: Drop the gun!
Whoa, whoa, back off, cops.

- Back off. Back off. Back off. Back up.
- No, no, officers.

Officers, d-don't take any chances, please.

- Yeah.
- Back off. Let...

just let this madman have his say.

That's right, I'm a madman.

Mr. Adler, point the gun at me. At me.

Okay? There, that's good.

Yeah, all right. Here we go. Next question.

[sighs]

What is the bad news?

These are overly simple
questions, don't you think?

No editorializing.

Here's the bad news.

If we had listened to
the NASA report in '87,

we could have saved
places like South Florida,

downtown Manhattan, and Bangladesh.

But it's too late. So
let's save Central Florida.

Let's save Midtown.

Let's save, you know, the areas

slightly above Bangladesh.

Next question.

You know, Mr. Adler, we could have sat down

and talked about this reasonably.

But you kept bumping me.

Now read the next question.

I'm sure it's one you'll like.

Is saving the environment
bad for the economy?

No! [laughs]

$250 billion a year

leaves the US for Saudi Arabia.

Let's spend that money
on American electrons

made right here, right now

by good old fashioned wind and solar.

[watch beeping] Shit, we got to go.

Sorry, I said shit on air. Get up. Get up.
We got to go. We got to go. We got to go.

- Where are we going?
- You'll find out.

You, over there, open that door.

Go to that door. Go to that door.

Back up, no! Please stay back, people.

- Step away. Step away.
- Step away. Step away.

Watch your step. Watch
your step. Watch your step.

- Stay back, everyone.
- Yeah, stay back.

Oh, hey, a quick shout out to Detroit.

You guys keep doing what you're doing.

The electric car's gonna
save this planet's ass.

Whoo! Whoo! 313! Go. Go.

Here we go. Here we go. Here. Here.

No, no. Stay back.

- Stay back!
- Stay there.

- Walter, be careful.
- Stay right there.

Why are you walking so strangely?

- Are you rigged with a bomb?
- I have a bad back.

It could be repressed anger, you know?

- Really?
- Yes.

[gasps] Dr. Mendelson.

Is that a gun?

- Who was that?
- He's a trauma specialist.

Celia, okay, take my
desk. It's your turn now.

Everybody else, keep the broadcast going!

Keep broadcasting!

Celia, to the desk.
Let's go, everyone. Now!

Now, now, now!

Let's go! He's on the move!

Breaking news. Incredibly, Walter Blunt

has just been taken hostage by an
eco-terrorist named Duncan Adler.

[elevator dings] [clamoring]

No, stay back! Back, back!

No shooting! No shooting!

- Stay back.
- Stay back, everyone.

Listen, maybe I drove you to this

with bumping you all the
time, but this is not the way.

I was about to start a six-part series.

Six-part series? Really? Wow, that's a lot.

Yeah, well, I could have had
you on tomorrow night as well.

If only... no, don't
point that at your head.

Now! About face! About time! Let's go!

Whoo! Ow. [sirens blaring]

What is this?

It's our getaway.

Thank you for letting
me take over the show.

Hope you won't hold this against me.

[sirens approaching]

Major! [clamoring]

Shit!

Shit.

[growls]

Major!

Major!

Major!

Good evening. This is Blunt Talk.

- I'm James Stone.
- And I'm Celia Havemeyer.

We're filling in for Walter Blunt

who was abducted 24 hours
ago during our broadcast.

Duncan Adler, a radical eco-terrorist,

formed a flash mob outside of UBS

to fashion his escape while
holding Blunt prisoner.

Waiting for the mob were
100 Chevy Volts and Priuses.

The members of the mob, disguised
to look like Adler and Blunt,

drove off in the cars
in numerous directions

enabling the terrorist to elude capture.

As of right now, there's no information

regarding Walter Blunt's whereabouts.

So, Walter, if you're watching this,

please stay safe and just know

that we miss you.

And love you.

Stop! Help me!

Stop! Stop! [tires screech]

[police radio chatter]

- Walter!
- Rosalie.

Walter, darling. Are you hurt?

No, no. Oh.

They gave me a veggie burger

with a sleeping pill in it.

I woke up at the roadside

and they'd disappeared into the night.

Oh. I'm fine. I'm fine.

Thank you.

Commanding officer, sir.

Oh, Harry.

Thank you.

Cheers, dears.

Mm.

Ah.

How am I to feel about all this?

I finally get to give a message
of hope to the American people

and it's delivered by a
well-intentioned madman.

You were held up at gunpoint, Walter.

Yes, I remember, Jim.

You were very brave, Walter.

Oh, very. And macho.

Thank you, Shelly.

Harry, do you ever have

a profound sense of d?j? vu?

[softly] Yes, sir.

So, what would you like
me to read to you tonight?

I don't think you have to ask, Harry.

Very good, sir. The
Once and Future King.

I'll pick up where we left off.

"The old king felt refreshed.

Clear-headed. Almost
ready to begin again.

There would be a day,

there must be a day,

when he would come back to Gramarye

with a new round table which had no corners

- just as the world had none."
- Mm.

"A table without boundaries
between the nations

who would sit to feast there."

Mm.

"The hope of making it
would lie in culture.

If people could be
persuaded to read and write,

not just to eat and make love,

there was still a chance that
they might come to reason."
