- Alta's death was a tragedy.

She had everything to live for.

I'll always remember the way she looked in her movies.

She was so free and alive.

No matter what happens,

she'll always leave us with the memory of her freedom.

Alta.

Alta.

Alta. - Hmm.

- Alta.

- Oh, oh God, Max, what the fuck are you doing?

- I wanna play with you.

I'm bored.

- Son of a bitch.

- Now you're ready?

Get the perfume.

- All right.

- You know who brought that.

- Camila?

- I hope this won't start up your allergies.

- Don't worry, I took a pill.

- Come close.

There.

Now you're perfect.

I have a surprise for you.

- You don't have to tell me.

- It's in the cabinet,

and I do have to tell you, that's part of the game.

- All right.

Oh, a revolver.

Max, you shouldn't have.

- You ought to be frightened.

It could blow a hole in you as big as my fist.

You're not playing the game right.

Now load it.

Don't forget every chamber.

Now release the safety.

And cock it.

- Pow, you're dead.

Pow, pow, pow!

- Why don't you come over here and practice.

- Because it's dangerous.

- Give me the gun.

Let me show you how.

- Would you really use it?

- I might for love.

- No, you just like playing with your little trigger.

- That's what love is.

Does it turn you on?

- No, uh-uh.

- Isn't it beautiful?

Do you feel it?

- No.

- I can see that it doesn't turn you on.

- No, no, nothing.

I don't feel anything.

- No.

Tell me exactly.

- Nothing.

- Nothing?

- I love you.

- This is your death, Alta.

My love or your death, you decide.

You could kill me

or I could kill you.

- Max.

I want you.

- Open your eyes.

I want you to see this.

It's wet.

What'd you think?

Will I do it?

Imagine, Alta, it would look like suicide.

Only you and I would know.

You don't think I'll do it, do you?

But I love you and I feel creative today.

What do you say?

Should we really blow their minds?

Alta's death was a tragedy.

She had everything to live for.

I'll always remember her as she looked in her movies.

She was so free and alive.

No matter what happens, she'll leave us with her,

with the memory of her freedom.

- Wall streeters generally are standing pat

on their optimistic outlook for stock prices.

Continued positive attitude is reflect.

And now here's the local news with Lyle Wheeler.

- Chief of Manhattan Detectives Alfred Case

accepted the theory that Ms. Lee had committed suicide.

Case cited the actress's history of mental illness

among other causes of the tragedy.

Alta Lee had gained fame as a sex symbol

in her recent films, many of which were X-rated.

- Shock and surprise continued

in the motion picture world today,

following actress Alta Lee's apparent suicide.

Close friends expressed amazement

that she would take her own life.

Ms. Lee had gained stardom as a sex symbol in recent films,

most of them X-rated.

Her body was discovered early this morning

in the Manhattan townhouse of producer Max Pavell.

Earlier today Channel Eight News

filmed an exclusive statement by Max Pavell

in his Wall Street office.

Here now is that film.

- Alta's Death was a tragedy.

She had everything to live for.

I'll always remember the way she looked in her movies.

No matter what happens,

she'll always leave us with the memory of her freedom.

Have the police called yet?

- No.

- Well, they're going to.

- What should I tell them?

- Who were you with last night?

- I was alone.

- Well, from now on

you were with me all night you understand?

- Max, have I ever let you down?

- You wanna know how it happened?

- No.

I already know how it happened.

- This is an autopsy report.

5225G.

A female Caucasian aged 24.

The bullet entered through the mouth

and exited through the occipital portion of the skull.

The path of the projectional is confirmed

by powder burns on the pallet

and a small wound of entry and a larger wound of exit.

The pallet is perforated just to the left of the midline.

There is very little blood in the subarachnoid space,

which certainly indicates that death was instantaneous.

She really did a job on herself.

- I don't wanna hear another word about that bitch.

Oof, all I've heard was Alta, Alta, Alta.

Well, she's dead and I'm glad.

What about that?

Oh, I got one of those headaches.

- I'll take care of that.

- That feels divine.

- It's an old Hungarian remedy.

They do it to their horses.

- Ah.

God, Oliver, you're such a man.

- Uh, baby, did you talk to Max?

- What do you think I have a headache for?

- Did you ask me about my part?

- Oh, now don't be a bore, Oliver.

I don't want to talk about movies.

- It was just a thought.

- Come on, keep massaging.

Keep massaging.

Ah, nice thing what they did to me those two.

Oh, can you imagine to be the chairman

of the Springtime in Paris Ball at the Plaza

and have your own husband waltz in

with a sex queen from the Bronx?

God when I think I made that man and you know it.

Why if it wasn't for me,

he'd still be peddling stops up in Rochester.

- Okay, okay, okay, I didn't mean to upset you.

- Oh, get off your ass, Oliver.

Get me another stinger.

- I love you, daddy.

- I love you too, sweetheart.

- Goodnight, Mommy.

- Goodnight, darling.

- How's the diet coming, Gus?

- Pretty well, I guess.

- You know when you start in jail

you've gotta take a physical.

Take all your clothes off.

That can be pretty embarrassing if you're overweight, Gus.

They all stand around and watch you try to do chin-ups,

but the worst part is the step test.

You step on and off a bench for five solid minutes.

That can be torture, Gus, even if you're in good shape.

You don't wanna be embarrassed, do you, Gus?

- I just went off the diet today.

I was cramming for a French test all night.

- You're not really happy in school, are you?

- Well, no.

- Max, now really.

- All that cramming won't teach you everything.

What do you know about handling people?

That's what really counts.

Only money can teach you that, Gus.

- Max, would you please leave the boy alone?

- We're only having a man-to-man talk, right, Gus?

Now I know I'm not around here much anymore.

Your sister's lawyer see to that.

- Bring on the violence.

- And I know how conscious your sister is of money,

so I'd like to help out.

- Max, please.

- I'm writing you a check for $5,000.

I want you to spend it.

- Gee.

Thanks, Uncle Max.

I'll, I'll put it in the bank or, or I'll buy some stock.

- Oh, no, you won't.

You'll spend it now.

- I don't understand, Uncle Max.

- Yeah, buy something you think is beautiful.

- Beautiful?

- Cash that check in the morning and use it, Gus.

Now if you excuse us,

I think your sister has something she wants to tell me.

Probably wants to thank me.

- Okay.

Thanks, Uncle Max.

Goodnight, Helene.

- Goodnight.

Max, this is the lowest, the absolute bottom.

Oh, I know that you can barge in here once a week,

the lawyers say so,

but I wanna tell you one thing.

If you play any of your tricks on Gus,

I'm going to slit your throat.

What the hell are you smiling about?

- Are you threatening me?

- You bet I am.

- Well, that's why I'm smiling.

You be careful.

You know what'll happen to you if you hit me.

- Max, you don't scare me anymore.

- Maybe that's why I left you.

- Go get the hell out of here.

Go and make another sex film.

- Oh, remember, we call them art films.

- Listen, Andy, lunch is out.

O-U-T, out.

I told you it's talent scout time.

I'm stuck on a cunt hunt.

I don't know what she's looking for.

All I know is I'll be eating lunch out of a doggy bag.

Hmm, you too.

Bye.

- What do you think of Wendy Woodland?

- She's a pig.

- Okay.

What do you think of this one?

This here.

- She's a good actress.

- Come on, she really is a pig.

- Well, that too, darling.

Listen, it would help if you would tell me

what you're looking for.

What is it you want?

Max?

- Yes, he's starting a new one.

- Oh really?

You should have told me.

- Okay, we know he is not sentimental.

- Well, neither are you.

Well, I didn't think you were looking for another Alta.

A substitute.

- Oh no, there'll never be another Alta.

- Not unless I comb the BMT again.

- Let's see, you're Wendy Woodland.

- Sure.

- I'm casting for a new film.

- Here I am.

- There's a lot of nudity in the film.

- I don't mind if it's in good taste,

but I don't do insertions

and I do not even do simulated fellatio.

- The two girls love the same guy,

but they wind up with each other.

- Oh my God, that's the story of my life.

- Oh, I can see you've had a lot of experience.

- Right, I've had that Hollywood shit.

I've been under contracting all of it.

But now I know who I am.

I'm a very healthy person.

- The sex is in good taste.

- Oh, well listen, a fuck is a fuck.

What do you think of these babies?

♪ The land of the free ♪

♪ And the home of the brave ♪

- The operation was a total success.

- Let's see you're Julie Kendall.

- Yes, that's right.

- Well, Julie, we're looking for a new girl.

- Oh, I appreciate your talking to me.

- Have you ever done any movies?

- Uh, no, not yet, but I'd like to.

- Julie, what's this Mahopac Repertory Company?

- Oh, I, I played Anya on "The Cherry Orchard".

- Oh yeah, the classics.

- I was really terrible.

But I'll do anything to be an actress.

- Really?

- Oh yes, I'll work 24 hours a day.

- Won't your boyfriend mind?

- No, I mean, I don't have one.

- Well, Julie, perhaps we'll call you back.

Hello, Max, are you going to be in town next week?

No.

I'm planning a little surprise for you.

No, don't worry.

It's going to be something beautiful.

All right, Max.

Bye-bye.

- Mr. Allen.

Mr. Pavell can take your call now.

- Finally.

He's a very busy man.

Hi, Max.

How you doing?

- No complaints.

How about you, Ben?

- I got a squash card at five.

Would you like to play?

- No, I'll have to pass it up.

I'm gonna work out now.

- I hate to bother you, Max, but it's really important.

Are you there?

Sounds like somebody's with you.

- No, no, no.

You have my undivided attention.

- I've got the terms right here, Max.

- Oh, well, why don't you read them to me?

- They're going to buy 500,000 shares

and your, the company's also agreed to sell for 1 cent

for warrant to the underwriter.

Negotiable warrants to purchase 10,000 shares

of common stock. - Right.

- Now, you'll have to stay outta the,

stay outta the, you have to keep a low pro profile here

because the FCC can get into the act

and then we're really in trouble.

- What?

- This can take care of our whole year of ordinary work.

Max, it's a beautifully structured deal.

You can't miss.

I'm taking a piece of it myself,

although I have to stay in the background.

As for the far as the blue sky laws are concerned,

don't worry, we've got a blue to the sky,

and every state in the union, including Alaska.

- Mm-hmm.

- It may be pie in the sky, but the investors, Max,

are going to take it.

Absolutely.

They're gonna grab it.

Uh, usually.I don't speak this way,

but this is one of the most unusual things

I think that's ever occurred to you.

Now, one thing more, Max, the police, uh, uh, called.

I know how you feel about them, Max, but as your attorney.

- Tell them to stop up this afternoon.

I'll be happy to cooperate.

Oh, and by the way,

tell him to call up Camila Stone.

- You still friendly with her?

- I was Tuesday night.

- Well, that's a big help, Max.

- Friends are there to help.

- You sure about the squash?

- So long, Ben.

- Okay, I'll have to play with myself.

- Um, Mr. Stone.

- Ms. Stone.

Won't you sit down?

- Thank you.

I got one question to ask you.

- Go right ahead, officer.

- Well, it's, it's, it's very personal, but I have to know,

can you tell me where Max Pavell was last Tuesday night?

- Of course, we spent the night in my apartment.

- Were you on intimate terms with this gentleman?

- You mean, did we fuck?

- Oh my God.

- Max and I have been lovers for the last three years.

The last time that we had what you call intimate relations

was Tuesday night, all night.

- Uh-huh.

- Uh-huh.

- Listen, ma'am, can I ask you another question?

- If you like, officer.

- We have information that this gentleman

was also having an intimate relationship with the deceased.

- You mean, did they fuck?

- Yeah.

- Max and Alta were lovers for the past year and a half.

- Maybe I'm getting outta the line

but didn't it bother you?

- As a matter of fact, it did bother me,

but not in the way you think.

- Uh-huh. - Uh-huh.

- Hey, hey, look at this.

Oh, that's all right.

He wouldn't know anything about that.

Hey, here's one,

a swinging girl, 36, 22, 42 expert at French culture.

Available for bizarre parties

with rough dominant men.

That's you buddy.

- Think so?

- No, I mean it.

Yeah.

Exotic pleasure guaranteed.

- Exotic sick.

- Ah, it's no good.

It says Michigan area only.

Gee.

- Hey. - Huh?

You wanna see something?

- Yeah.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

- The fingerprint boys pulled this out of her,

that suicide gal's laundry.

Take a whiff.

- Whew.

I think I'm in love.

- Did you ever see her pictures?

- Hey, hey, what about the boyfriend?

Did you call him?

- Yeah, he's clean.

He's got some other broad somewhere.

You oughta see her.

I'd love to get ahold of some of her laundry.

- Hey, what'll I do with this?

- Put in with the Puerto Rican's undershirt.

- The Puerto Rican.

- So this is the new place.

Dola, you've done wonders.

- Well, I haven't got everything here yet.

Do you like the mirror?

- Where?

Like it, I love it.

- Would you like a drink?

- Ah, actually, no.

I haven't got a lot of time.

What is it you wanted, Dola?

- Well, you know, I wouldn't have called your office

if it wasn't really important.

- Just tell me.

It's been a long day.

Everybody wants something today.

What do you want?

- We're still friends, aren't we?

- Sure, we're all friends.

And New York is a big friendly city.

Now what do you want, Dola?

- I've gotta have $7,000.

- Well, how do you want it, small bills or large?

- I'm not kidding.

They're gonna kill me.

- Dola, Dola, that was your trouble as an actress.

You were always too melodramatic.

Even Max saw it.

- Listen, you owe me something.

If it hadn't been for me, you never would've met Alta.

Look, Alta went up, I went down.

I didn't ask for anything.

Nobody gave a shit about me.

- You don't enjoy your work.

Oh, stop that.

- They're going to kill me.

- I could get the money in 10 days.

- Half then, I could stall him with half.

- What do I get for it?

- What do you want?

What can I give you?

- I don't know yet.

I'd have to think about it, say for 10 days.

You get your money in 10 days.

- Are you sure?

- Dola, Dola, have I ever let you down?

- No.

- In the meantime, if you need some cash,

why don't you sell some of this tacky furniture?

- The people who come here like it.

- They would.

- I have something in mind.

But first I have to get to know you,

how you walk, how you talk,

in general how your mind works.

- Is it for the movie?

- Well, it could be for several things.

You know a lot of people could use you.

- Oh, terrific.

- We'll work hard and then we'll see.

- I'll do anything I can.

- I like your enthusiasm.

Now let's get started.

Do you ever improvise?

- Oh, sure in class.

- Wonderful.

Roderick! - What is it?

- Would you come in here?

- I'm coming.

- He's making his lunch.

Roderick, this is Julie.

And Julie, this is Roderick.

My business simply couldn't go on without him.

- Hello, Roderick?

- Yeah, hello, Julie.

Camila, this better be quick, I'm cooking the souffle.

- It will be.

Now if you'll just sit over there,

and Julie, you sit on the cushions.

Julie's a wonderful actress.

- I'm sure.

- And we're going to do a little improvisation

and we need your help.

- You've got it.

- Now Julie, you're in love with Roderick.

Roderick, sit down.

- Camila, please, my souffle.

- Roderick is going into the Marines.

- Ha!

- And this is your last night together

so you offer to sleep with him.

- Really, Camila, the Marines?

- You said you'd help.

Okay, begin.

- Ready? - I'm ready.

- Oh, Roderick, I love you very much.

- Yeah, so why?

- When I, whenever I look into your eyes-

- Hmm. - I see just this immense

sympathy flooding for, uh, tomorrow we're,

I'm really not very good.

- She's right.

- Julie, suppose you sit closer.

It might be easier.

- Okay. - Camila, please.

- No, you try this.

- Okay? - Yes.

- Oh, Roderick, this is our very last night together alone.

Tomorrow you're leaving and you're going away to,

into the Marines and you might die.

You might get killed.

I may never see you again.

- Wouldn't you be lucky?

- I think because this is our very,

oh, Roderick, I love you.

I think that we should, we should sleep together tonight.

My parents are upstairs.

But do you know what, Roderick?

- No, what?

- I think my parents would say it's okay.

Oh, Roderick, I love you, I love you, oh!

- Fine, great, wonderful.

She's fabulous.

- Adam's Rib is one of the best restaurants in New York.

- Max.

Max, dear.

I'm going the ladies' room now.

- Will 50 be enough?

- Oh, come on, Max, I mean really.

- Here's 100, 50 for the ladies' room and 50 for a cab home.

- Max, you are a prince.

- Hi, Max.

Yes, of course, I knew it was you.

Lucky guess.

Max, Max.

Don't be in such a rush.

These little surprises take time, you know?

Yes.

Oh, Max, trust me.

Have I ever let you down?

Come on.

Come on.

That's okay.

Oh, that's pretty good.

Try again.

Come on let's go for a swim.

- Okay.

- I haven't used that thing in about two years.

- Yeah, but you're gonna have a problem

'cause my hair doesn't curl.

- If it doesn't work, we can always buy a wig.

- Why?

- I told you it's what other people want.

- Okay.

What are we gonna do now?

- Oh, I thought we'd take pictures of each other.

- Oh no, I don't wanna do that.

- Come on, don't be nervous.

- Oh, I am a little.

- Get the pillow over here.

- Okay.

- No, stay there, that's nice.

Sit down on the pillows.

You know, when you go for a film,

you're going to be very tense.

Got to know how to handle it.

- Well, I wanna learn.

- Don't worry, you will.

Julie, haven't you modeled?

- Oh, I did some print work.

Hey, cut it out, really?

Look, I don't have any makeup on or anything.

I look terrible.

- Julie, just go on.

Don't mind the camera.

- Well, I was kind of, I was kind of a debutante.

I did this thing in,

I was in this ball gown and I was like in a cemetery.

I, I was really ridiculous.

- Did you do that in New York, Julie?

- No, in Florida.

- Oh.

Did you ever do any fashion work?

- No.

- Any nudes? - Oh, no.

- Oh, come on.

Didn't you ever have a boyfriend with a camera?

- No, really.

I guess I'm shy.

- Well, you're not gonna be shy with me are you?

- Oh no, as long as it's just us.

- Listen, there's a lot of figure work in the film.

- I know I can work on it.

- But it's not work.

You just step over a line.

Look, all your life, you've been going on interviews.

- Mm-hmm. - You've been smiling,

now you're going to use more than just your face.

People like it.

They loved watching Alta.

- I know that.

But I'm really just an actress.

- Oh, come on, take off your blouse.

You don't wear a bra, right?

- No.

- Good, okay.

- Camila, what are you gonna do with the pictures?

- You don't trust me?

- Oh, no, it's not that.

- Forget it. - Now wait a minute-

- I mean, they're going be awful anyway.

- Now wait a minute.

- I mean look- - We'll trade.

- You fight like a star- - No, listen,

we're here. - The whole things a disaster.

- Will you- - Hopeless.

Can't find my fucking lighter.

- It's right there. - Oh.

Thank you.

Look, Julie, it's just us two girls.

There's no camera crew, no tension.

It's never going to be easier than right now.

Just take off your things.

- Everything?

- Why not?

- Okay.

What do you want me to do?

- Whatever you feel like.

- I don't know what I feel.

- Everything nice?

- Well, it's kinda sexy being naked.

Okay.

- Julie, do you expect to be raped?

- No.

I think it's the camera.

- Well go into the bedroom.

I have something you can try.

- Okay.

- Lie down.

Relax.

That's it, use the pillows.

- Okay.

Oh, this fabric feels great.

- Does it turn you on?

- Well, yeah, in a way it does.

I mean, being here and all, you know.

- Tell me about it.

- Well, I don't know, it's kinda personal.

- That's how it should be.

Tell me something personal.

Tell me the last time you made it.

- Oh, you don't want much, do you?

- Go on.

- Well, I just don't wanna shock you.

- That's all right, try and shock me.

- Well, it was about a month ago.

- A month?

Oh, I'm shocked already.

- I was living with Janie, she's a dancer.

And we had these two boys over for dinner.

We cooked Indian food, and listened to records,

and they brought some pot, you know?

Anyway, Janie went into an alcove with her boy,

and the other boy and I were lying on the sofa,

just a mattress on the floor.

I went to the bathroom for a minute, and when I came back,

he was naked, just lying there, smiling, and smoking.

He was excited.

I mean, he was erect.

I could feel his energy or something.

But not just him, but Janie and the other boy

in the same room.

The, the feeling of the vibrations, it was blinding.

And afterwards, he went down on me

and I started pushing up against him.

God, it was so hot, everything was wet.

I didn't have the strength to move.

And afterwards we talked about sex

and I told him how I got off when I was alone.

Then he wanted to see me.

I guess, I guess that was really the climax,

the two of us just lying there,

floating and touching ourselves.

I don't know.

Maybe it was the pot, but everything was so fantastic.

I still think about the boy sometimes.

I think, I think he went to Florida.

I always wondered if he felt it too.

Everything was perfect that night.

What is it?

Just like this.

♪ Don't you go ♪

- Well, don't be too serious, after all, it's just a movie.

- Mrs. Pavell.

- That's right.

- Mr. Pavell would like to speak to you.

- Mm.

- Hello dear, I spoke to the judge.

Gus won't be prosecuted

as long as we submit him to psychiatric care.

- Goddamn you, Max.

- You ought to thank me.

I gave the doorman a hundred not to press charges.

- What's the matter with you, Max?

Is that some kind of a game?

You're killing my brother.

- I'm helping him find himself.

Give the boy a chance, Helene.

Someday he'll be a nice kid.

- Go to hell, Max.

- It's a piece of shit, right?

- I like the girl.

- Right, right, everybody liked the girl.

- I thought the love scenes were beautiful.

- The love scene's are garbage.

Plastic fucking.

The only thing beautiful in it is Alta.

- Why did she kill herself?

- No, but knows, it's a mystery.

- But I thought you were close to her.

- Who said that?

- Well, you talk about her all the time.

- Look, if things go well, I'll talk about you too.

That doesn't mean we're close.

- You were close to her.

- Okay, we were happy for a while.

Are you jealous?

- No, I'm interested.

- Does it give you a little thrill?

- I don't know much about those things.

- Hmm, she liked lilac oil.

Let's finished now.

We'll forget about Alta.

Move on to what's really important.

I want to rehearse this scene with you.

It's the one I told you about with the gun.

You'll do it in the movie or maybe here with us.

- I don't understand.

- Just do as I tell you, Julie.

- I'll try.

- May seem dangerous.

A lot of people would be afraid, but you'll be fine.

- Well, I wanna trust you.

- Okay, Julie.

You're in a large gray room, it's very dark.

There's a big Persian rug on the floor.

You're seated on a black leather sofa.

Over there you see a man, he's sitting in an armchair.

He tells you to stand up to undress.

You obey.

Get up, Julie.

Take off your vest.

He's going to ask you to hand him a bottle of perfume.

You hand it to me.

Now he'll tell you to kneel in front of him.

You know exactly what he's going to do.

Look at me.

Flowers, sweat.

Now you're afraid he'll stop.

But then he goes on.

He tells you to get the gun.

Sometimes it's in a drawer, sometimes on the table.

Get it.

Use all six bullets.

Take off the safety.

Cock it.

Now come over here and lie down.

Whatever happens, whatever he wants,

you feel nothing.

You're in love.

The more you submit, the more you show it.

Now, he'll ask for the gun.

He'll remind you it's loaded.

- No, please.

- Stop that.

What do you feel?

- Nothing.

- What? - Nothing.

- Louder. - Nothing!

- He'll say that he loves you.

- No.

- And use the gun everywhere.

But you won't make a sound.

That's it.

Keep still.

Then later he'll put the gun in your mouth

and you'll taste yourself.

Imagine him beside you.

He could do anything.

- No, I can't. - Stop that!

- Look, look, you know this isn't a movie.

I can't do this.

- You are hopeless, aren't you?

- Please listen to me, I'm not Alta, I'm me.

- You're whatever I say you are and now you're finished!

- Oh, you're hurting me.

- Take your things and get out!

- Ow.

- Did you think that these were real?

There, try and murder me.

- I don't believe.

Camila, hey!

Look, I didn't know what you were doing.

I'm, I'm really sorry.

This is, this is ridiculous.

- Doesn't matter.

- You mean I don't have to go?

- No, you don't have to go.

- I don't know, we're both tired.

We should relax, take a bath, do something.

I don't know.

Anyway no one ever said you were Alta.

How does that feel?

- Oh, fantastic.

- I know, it's the lilac that does it.

- Oh, it's really nice.

- Move over, I wanna get in too.

- Is there room for two?

- Turn around, I'll take it back.

- Okay.

Oh, it's so nice.

It's so big.

Gosh.

- Your sweet skin.

No taste good.

- Mm, that feels good.

No. - Easy, easy.

Tomorrow I want you to meet someone important.

You do just as I say.

- What do you want me to do?

- I want you to turn someone on.

You're going to get what you want, Julie.

Uh, Max.

Max.

Was that one lump or two?

- Two.

- It's funny, but I can never remember.

Here you are, Max.

- Thank you.

- Just the way you like it.

You know Julie, Max was very impressed

with the Mahopac Repertory Company.

- We're always searching for new talent.

- Well, I hope Camila didn't exaggerate.

- Impossible.

If there's one person in the world I trust, it's Camila.

- I think Julie would be terrific for your new movie.

- She's very pretty, but we'd have to test her.

- Oh, naturally.

- She has a lovely body.

And you won't have any trouble with her on the set.

- That's good.

- I mean, she's not shy, Max.

Julie, show Max your legs.

- Yes, please do.

- Julie's been exercising a lot.

You can tell by the muscle tone.

Do you see?

- Do you mind?

- Please do.

- She's very trim, isn't she?

- Yes and no underpants.

- Yes, I know what that means to you.

Julie, stand up.

I want to show Max something.

Come on, dear, he's waiting.

Max, you, you haven't tried my cupcakes.

They're delicious.

- I think I'll start with a cookie.

- Oh yes, they're good too.

I bought them myself.

- Can Julie take direction?

- I'll show you.

Julie, go and bower Max's flower.

- I can't?

- I'd feel naked without it.

- Max, you'll get it back.

- All right.

By the way, you were right about the cookies.

Delicious.

- Yes, you can eat as many as you like.

They're organic.

- No artificial preservatives.

- Turn around, Julie.

Remember Max, I promised you something beautiful.

Now you'll see how she takes direction.

I don't want you to cry out, Julie.

We don't want people looking down

from all those nasty windows, do we?

Perfect.

The flower, Julie.

Max, you're going to enjoy this.

Julie thought of it herself.

And wait till you see her on screen.

- It's uncanny.

- Max, have I ever let you down?

- It is Alta.

- No.

Julie is quite herself.

- Come here, Julie,

I have something to tell you and it's very important.

I'm going to change your life.

- You don't have to tell me anything

as long as I'm with Camila.

- Oh, you'll both be coming.

I want you to forget your past,

never return to your apartment, not even the move out.

Leave everything as it is, and come with us.

From now on everything will be different.

- My brother's really very sensitive.

He, he's such a good boy.

If you would only talk to him.

I mean, you wouldn't have to touch him, just talk to him.

I really don't know how it happened but he loves you.

I'm sure of it.

Oh God, don't you remember the first time you were in love?

- Excuse me.

Hello?

- Hello, Dola.

Wait, don't hang up, please.

It's me.

You know who this is?

- Mrs. Pavell, I think you should listen to this.

There's someone wants to talk to you.

- You don't even have to touch me, just, just talk to me.

Now, all, all that I wanna know is what's it like with Max?

Just tell me that.

What does he make you do?

Come on, please tell me.

I, I've never been in love before.

- I have a prediction to make,

that we're gonna be together for a long, long time.

Just the three of us.

- Like a little family.

- I'd like that.

- Don't be too sure.

There's certain things you have to do in a family.

- Oh, no, no, no, no, Camila, I'll tell her.

I'll show you how we treat family.

I'll be back in a moment.

- I love you.

Do you love me?

- Of course I love you.

- The way you loved Alta?

- No, you're another person.

- I've done everything you've wanted.

What more?

My hair, these rings, my clothes.

- Alta was a lot more than just a wig and rings.

- You've changed me completely.

I, I'm not even myself anymore.

God, I, I don't know who I am.

- I don't know either.

But you are certainly not Alta.

- I am Alta.

And I love you the way she did!

We both know it!

I love you!

I love you, you, you hear me!

I love you!

- You know where he's going, don't you?

He's going to get the gun.

He wants to play a little scene with you.

That's all right, you've rehearsed it.

You're ready.

- What you mean?

- I can't help you now, you're on your own.

You can do what you want.

- I'm, I'm just, I don't understand.

- When Max brings the gun, you can submit.

That's what Alta did.

Of course, you might be luckier than she was.

It all depends.

- What are you talking about?

- When you give Max the gun, you give him your life.

He might take it.

That's what happened to Alta.

In the end, she was just something for Max to use.

He killed her right here.

- No, that's not true.

- He blew the top of her head off.

- No, he, he couldn't get away with that.

- Sure he could.

- I was his alibi.

- You've been lying to me all along.

- I've been preparing you to choose.

Think about something, Julie.

What if there never was a film for you?

What would you do then?

- We are going to have an entertainment.

Come over here.

I feel happy tonight.

I love you.

I love you both.

- I think she's worried.

- What's the matter?

- A little touch of paranoia.

- Don't be afraid.

This is your house.

- She looks feverish.

Don't move, Julie.

- Undress her.

Get her ready for bed.

- I think she wants to run.

- How foolish.

Don't you know we love you.

Everything that happens in this room,

everything that's going to happen tonight

is because we love you.

- I've dressed her in Alta's clothes.

It's a shame to take them off.

Do you like the rings?

- Alta's slave rings.

- No, just a copy.

She's not helping.

- Then encourage her.

- I've made her up like a little whore.

She's so sensitive.

All I have to do is touch her.

She's a perfect little pro, don't you think?

That's what we like about her,

she can be anything that we want.

- Finish undressing her.

I want her naked.

- Oh, yeah.

- Did you bring the perfume?

- It's on the table.

- Julie, get the perfume.

Now bring it to Camila.

- She's wondering why she obeys, but she's trained.

Think, Max, she's afraid and humiliated, but she's proud.

- Put on the perfume, Camila.

Come here, Julie.

Kneel down.

Kneel down before me.

- Said to kneel. - No.

Oh, oh.

- Take the gun, Julie.

It's a police revolver.

It can blow a hole in someone as big as a peach.

- No.

- Take it I say.

Can she load it?

- She knows well enough.

- Then do it.

- Clumsy.

Give me those.

I'll do it.

Safety off?

- Yes.

And cock it.

- Will you use it on her?

- Of course.

- I have a better idea.

Let her use it on herself.

She's dying for it.

- All right.

Take the gun, Julie.

If you pull on the trigger, it will kill.

You could kill me or I could kill you.

You decide.

- No.

- Never say no to me!

Now take the gun.

I want you to use it on yourself.

- He means he wants to watch.

- Why do you hate me?

I'm not Alta.

- I don't hate you.

We both love you.

- I told you, Julie.

- There's no further to go.

No greater love.

You'll be grateful in the end.

- No. - Believe him.

He knows what he's doing.

- If you don't want to play the game

then give the gun.

Or you stop me.

Show me how much you love me.

- Get away!

- Give me the gun, Alta!

Make a point.

You decide!

- The gun, Alta.

Alta, the gun.

The gun.

Killed Max.

The police will be here later.

You better think about what to say.

- I don't wanna talk.

You talk to them.

- I won't be here.

- What?

- I haven't been here all night.

How could I?

I slept with someone else last night.

A very dear old friend.

We had a marvelous time.

- Camila, what are you talking about?

You, you've got to help me.

- Tell them how Max tried to use you.

They'll understand.

- Why are you doing this to me?

- I told you I loved Alta.

You were just some girl I used to take care of Max.

I trained you for this moment.

Now it's over.

Goodbye, Julie.

- Camila, please, please don't, please don't go.

You can't leave me alone.

You can't walk out on me.

- It's the easiest thing I've ever done.

- What about me?

- You?

You killed your lover in some stupid quarrel,

but it doesn't matter.

You see, my lover died some time ago.

- I don't wanna hear about Alta!

- I suppose not.

She knew a lot more about love than you ever will.

Goodbye, Julie.

- Who is it?

- It's me.

- Did you bring it?

Is that it?

Did you bring it?

- 7,000 as promised.

- I can't thank you enough.

- Yes, you can.

When the police call.

- The police?

- They're going to ask you where I was last night.

I was with you all night.

- That's all you want.

- It means a lot to me, Dola.

- Okay, honey.

- Are you sure?

- Trust me, Camila.
