- Hi, I'm Lauren.

You must be Professor Harpin.

Yeah. I love the Castle Rock you directed.
72
00:03:42,083 --> 00:03:43,375
- Oh.
- Your Sons of Anarchy episodes,
73
00:03:43,458 --> 00:03:44,667
they were the best in the series.

- [Lauren] Thanks.
- Ashley. I'm a big fan.

- Absolutely.
- Okay, so class has just ended

00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:55,375
- [Simon] Okay.
- ...at the end of the night.
79
00:03:55,458 --> 00:03:58,375
And then your colleague Sarah
enters from here.
80
00:03:58,458 --> 00:04:00,833
You do the first couplet.
"How was your trip?"
81
00:04:00,917 --> 00:04:02,250
Yada, yada, yada.
82
00:04:02,333 --> 00:04:06,625
And then, Ashley, you cross to about here.
And Professor Harpin says...
83
00:04:06,708 --> 00:04:09,167
"You do realize, according to legend,

- Yeah.
- [Lauren] Mmm.
92
00:04:30,917 --> 00:04:32,708

93
00:04:32,792 --> 00:04:35,667
- Right now, it's soundin' pretty good.

Yeah, of course.
96
00:04:43,208 --> 00:04:45,458
How long have
Sarah and I known each other?
97
00:04:46,375 --> 00:04:48,625
Hmm, that's a good question.
What... what are you thinking?
98
00:04:48,708 --> 00:04:50,458
I was thinking we go pretty far back.
99
00:04:50,542 --> 00:04:52,208
Like, maybe we were best friends,
100
00:04:52,292 --> 00:04:55,417
but we had a little fallin' out
when she got tenure before me.
101
00:04:56,333 --> 00:04:57,625
Sure. Why not?
102
00:04:57,708 --> 00:05:00,042
Right? It might add
a little layer to the scene.
103
00:05:00,125 --> 00:05:01,708
- Totally. Let's try it.
- Yeah.
104
00:05:01,792 --> 00:05:02,792
- [Simon] Yeah?
- Great.
105
00:05:02,875 --> 00:05:04,042
- [Ashley] Yeah.
- [Lauren] Yeah.
106
00:05:04,125 --> 00:05:05,125
- [Simon] Okay.
- [chuckles]
107
00:05:05,208 --> 00:05:06,417
- So...
- [Lauren] Mmm.
108
00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:08,625
So, maybe I shouldn't say "Sarah," right?
109
00:05:08,708 --> 00:05:11,875
- [exhales] What's that?
- Well, the script says "Sarah," but...
110
00:05:11,958 --> 00:05:13,667
- [Lauren] Mmm-hmm.
- [Simon] ...if I've been secretly
111
00:05:13,750 --> 00:05:14,833
jealous of her career,
112
00:05:14,917 --> 00:05:17,583
I don't think I would be so friendly,
you know?
113
00:05:17,667 --> 00:05:21,000
Maybe I should call her
"Dr. Johnson" instead, you know?
114
00:05:21,583 --> 00:05:23,375
Yeah. Let's... let's try it both ways.
115
00:05:23,875 --> 00:05:25,333
- Okay, great.
- Cool.
116
00:05:25,417 --> 00:05:26,417

I wouldn't let her get that far.
119
00:05:29,625 --> 00:05:31,500
- Who?
- Dr. Johnson.
120
00:05:31,583 --> 00:05:33,625
Considerin' our history,
I don't think I'd let her
121
00:05:33,708 --> 00:05:36,375
- cross all the way to my desk.
- Mmm. [clicking tongue]
122
00:05:36,458 --> 00:05:39,667

would stop her right about here.

- Mmm. No, no, no.
124
00:05:42,083 --> 00:05:44,500

kind of bleeding out

00:05:50,125 --> 00:05:52,208
in this moonbeam that we have that--
128
00:05:52,292 --> 00:05:53,792
[gaffer] Uh, we can move
the moonbeam.
129
00:05:54,458 --> 00:05:56,250
Uh, it'll only take a few minutes.
130
00:05:59,667 --> 00:06:00,667
If you want it.
131
00:06:06,708 --> 00:06:07,708
Let's move the moon.
132
00:06:07,792 --> 00:06:08,792

- Yeah.
133
00:06:08,875 --> 00:06:10,125

134
00:06:10,208 --> 00:06:12,125
[gaffer] More, more. Right there.
135
00:06:13,292 --> 00:06:14,583
[first AD] Last looks!
136
00:06:17,292 --> 00:06:20,208
Should I be packin' up a copy
of Aztec Thought and Culture
137
00:06:20,292 --> 00:06:21,667
by Miguel León-Portilla?
138
00:06:23,583 --> 00:06:24,917
Is there a problem, Simon?
139
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,708
No. No problem. I was just...
140
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,458
Just wondering if I should be packin' up
a copy of Aztec Thought and Culture
141

by Miguel León-Portilla?
142
00:06:32,917 --> 00:06:34,250
And what is that?
143
00:06:34,333 --> 00:06:36,333
I'm assuming that's what I'm teachin',
144
00:06:36,417 --> 00:06:39,500
unless you're thinkin' Aztec Civilization
by Henry Freeman?
145
00:06:39,583 --> 00:06:41,458
But... that kind of changes things.
146
00:06:41,542 --> 00:06:42,667
[Lauren] Does it?
147
00:06:42,750 --> 00:06:46,500
Aztec Civilization is a quick read.
It barely touches on Mictlantecuhtli.
148
00:06:46,583 --> 00:06:49,458
It might fit into
an ancient civilization syllabus. But...
149
00:06:50,167 --> 00:06:51,250
[chuckles]
150
00:06:51,333 --> 00:06:54,250
Professor Harpin is focused
solely on Aztec studies. Right?
151
00:06:55,500 --> 00:06:56,500
[Lauren] Hmm.
152
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,125
Um...
153
00:07:00,833 --> 00:07:03,750
- No. There's no reference to a book.
- Oh, but it says...
154
00:07:04,875 --> 00:07:06,875
It says, "packin up his desk..."
155
00:07:06,958 --> 00:07:08,167
- Right.
- "...for the night."
156
00:07:08,250 --> 00:07:09,708
[Lauren] Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm.
157
00:07:09,792 --> 00:07:11,083
[whispers] I think it's implied.
158
00:07:11,792 --> 00:07:15,042
[in normal voice] Should we check
with the writer, just to be safe?
159
00:07:17,875 --> 00:07:19,167
[Lauren inhales deeply]
160
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,125
Who is this bozo?
161
00:07:24,875 --> 00:07:26,125
He had a great audition.
162
00:07:26,208 --> 00:07:28,500
[Linda] Yeah, but at this rate,
we're never gonna make our day.
163
00:07:28,583 --> 00:07:30,708
- [Lauren] Mmm.
- Can you get Ryan on the phone?
164
00:07:30,792 --> 00:07:31,792
Yes, ma'am.
165
00:07:31,875 --> 00:07:33,833
[Simon] And the interestin' thing is,
it's all here,
166
00:07:33,917 --> 00:07:35,833
in your words, if you really look at it.
167
00:07:35,917 --> 00:07:37,333
- You think so?
- I do.
168
00:07:37,417 --> 00:07:39,083
- Hmm.
- Professor Harpin's history
169
00:07:39,167 --> 00:07:40,583
with Professor Johnson
170
00:07:40,667 --> 00:07:44,125
is what makes his death at her hands
all the more tragic.
171
00:07:44,208 --> 00:07:45,750
Honestly, I never thought of it that way.
[chuckles]
172
00:07:45,833 --> 00:07:48,167
- But it's here in the subtext.
- Yeah, I see that.
173
00:07:48,250 --> 00:07:49,500

00:17:59,875 --> 00:18:01,917
but there's
a lotta talented people out here
342
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,042
who are not pains in the ass,
do you feel me?
343
00:18:07,833 --> 00:18:11,792
All right. We can talk about American
Horror Story first thing tomorrow mornin'.
344
00:18:11,875 --> 00:18:13,333
Nandi will validate you.
345
00:18:18,042 --> 00:18:19,333
Hi, baby, I have a early dinner,
346
00:18:19,417 --> 00:18:20,458
- so I'll be gone, okay?
- Mmm-hmm.
347
00:18:23,208 --> 00:18:24,583
[♪ intriguing music playing]
348
00:18:30,875 --> 00:18:31,958
[typing]
349
00:18:40,708 --> 00:18:43,125
[Simon impersonating Imani] Hey, girl,
this is Imani from Hanover Agency.
350
00:18:43,208 --> 00:18:45,208
Uh, I got Janelle Jackson for Ruth.
351
00:18:46,125 --> 00:18:47,208
[casting assistant over phone]
She's in session,
352
00:18:47,292 --> 00:18:48,292
but I can have her return.
353
00:18:48,375 --> 00:18:50,125
Oh, she's in on Wonder Man, huh?
354
00:18:50,917 --> 00:18:52,333
[casting assistant]
Yeah, till 6:00 tonight.
355
00:18:53,208 --> 00:18:57,333
Oh, no, that is not good.
Nandi is gonna be in so much trouble.
356
00:18:58,125 --> 00:18:59,250
[casting assistant]
Why? What's wrong?
357
00:18:59,333 --> 00:19:00,625
Well, Nandi is out sick.
358
00:19:00,708 --> 00:19:02,958
You know, she got that stomach bug
that's goin' around.
359
00:19:03,042 --> 00:19:05,250
You better make sure
you wash your hands, girl.
360
00:19:05,333 --> 00:19:06,750
[casting assistant] You know I do.
361
00:19:06,833 --> 00:19:09,625
Anyway, I'm covering for her,
and she just texted me
362
00:19:09,708 --> 00:19:13,750
'cause she forgot to get Simon Williams in
on Wonder Man for Janelle.
363
00:19:13,833 --> 00:19:15,792
And now, see,
the session's already started,
364
00:19:15,875 --> 00:19:17,042
and today's the last day.
365
00:19:17,125 --> 00:19:19,958
So, when Janelle finds out,
she is gonna go ballistic.
366
00:19:20,042 --> 00:19:22,708
[casting assistant] Can he still
make it in? I can put him on the list.
367
00:19:22,792 --> 00:19:27,917
Oh, my God, girl, you are an angel.
I'mma call him right now, okay? Thank you!
368
00:19:29,417 --> 00:19:30,708
[car honking]
369
00:19:30,792 --> 00:19:32,000
[grunts]
370
00:19:37,583 --> 00:19:40,458
Hey. Simon Williams. Sorry, I'm late.
371
00:19:40,542 --> 00:19:43,125
I'm assuming you're a Wonder Man
and not a Barnaby?
372
00:19:43,208 --> 00:19:44,208
Correct.
373
00:19:44,292 --> 00:19:46,167
[man] Just need you to sign this NDA.
374
00:19:47,708 --> 00:19:50,375
Also, I don't have a Doorman waiver
on file for you,
375
00:19:50,458 --> 00:19:52,250
so I'm gonna need you to sign this.
376
00:19:53,333 --> 00:19:55,792
Assuming, of course,
you don't have superpowers.
377
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,875
[scribbling]
378
00:19:59,417 --> 00:20:00,750
Okay, you're all set.
379
00:20:06,375 --> 00:20:07,875
You mind if I keep the pen?
380
00:20:07,958 --> 00:20:09,000
Um...
381
00:20:10,042 --> 00:20:11,042
Guess so.
382
00:20:11,125 --> 00:20:12,500
[actor 1]
"Where you heading out, boy?"
383
00:20:12,583 --> 00:20:14,708

"Until Barnaby pulled me out..."
384
00:20:14,792 --> 00:20:16,958
[actors murmuring]
385
00:20:19,042 --> 00:20:20,458
[actor 3]
"Until Barnaby pulled me out,
386
00:20:20,542 --> 00:20:21,583
no one else to turn..."

[actor 4] "Right after death..."
388
00:20:26,917 --> 00:20:28,500
[actor 5] I know what...
389
00:20:28,583 --> 00:20:33,083
"And treacherous place.
Dark and treacherous place."
390
00:20:33,167 --> 00:20:35,542
"Dark and treacherous place."
[inhales sharply]
391
00:20:35,625 --> 00:20:37,833
"Dark and treacherous place."
392
00:20:37,917 --> 00:20:41,125
"Embera people have a story...
Embera people have a story..."
393
00:20:41,208 --> 00:20:43,375
"Embera people have a story..."

00:20:43,458 --> 00:20:45,875
"Damn Urr fragment...

"Gave a damn. No one else..."
397
00:20:53,875 --> 00:20:57,958
[breathing heavily]
398
00:21:06,542 --> 00:21:08,542
[breathing deeply]
399
00:21:08,625 --> 00:21:10,208
[Trevor] Ask Damian how things went.
400
00:21:10,292 --> 00:21:12,583
Oh, that's right, you can't.
'Cause he's dead!
401
00:21:12,667 --> 00:21:14,667
[laughter]
402
00:21:14,750 --> 00:21:16,500
The guy's killing it in there, bro.
403
00:21:16,583 --> 00:21:20,833
Oh, and please tell Mr. Von Kovak
that if he'd prefer a Cockney accent,
404
00:21:20,917 --> 00:21:23,292
[in Cockney accent] I can throw one in
at no extra charge, all right?
405
00:21:23,375 --> 00:21:24,833
[laughter]
406
00:21:25,708 --> 00:21:27,250
Where have I seen him before?
407
00:21:27,333 --> 00:21:29,375
Pretty sure he used to be a terrorist.
408
00:21:31,042 --> 00:21:32,625
[actors reading lines]
409
00:21:39,958 --> 00:21:40,958
Come with me.
410
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:45,375
[actor 6] "Until Barnaby
pulled me out, no one else ever..."
411
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,917
You're a bloody mess.
You can't go in like this.
412
00:21:56,708 --> 00:21:58,125
You tryna get in my head?
413
00:21:58,917 --> 00:22:00,167
I'm tryna help you, love.
414
00:22:00,250 --> 00:22:03,458
You know, some of us actually
believe in supporting each other.
415
00:22:03,542 --> 00:22:05,625
Take it from someone
who's eaten shit on stage
416
00:22:05,708 --> 00:22:08,125
more times than he can count.
Not literally, mind you.
417
00:22:08,208 --> 00:22:10,208
You can still turn this around.
It's not too late.
418
00:22:10,292 --> 00:22:12,583
I know, [chuckles]
it's a lot to memorize--
419
00:22:12,667 --> 00:22:14,333
No, my memory isn't the problem.
420
00:22:14,417 --> 00:22:15,417
So, what's wrong?
421
00:22:21,750 --> 00:22:23,583
I can't get a hold of the character.
422
00:22:23,667 --> 00:22:25,917
I've seen the original too many times.
423
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,333
And I'm trying to come up with a backstory
for his relationship with Barnaby,
424
00:22:29,417 --> 00:22:30,667
but it's not makin' sense.
425
00:22:30,750 --> 00:22:33,833
Well, trust the words.
Just show up and say them. Be present.
426
00:22:33,917 --> 00:22:35,250
[sighs]
427
00:22:35,333 --> 00:22:36,708
Nah, that's not my process.
428
00:22:36,792 --> 00:22:38,917
Well, your process can go blow a spider.
429
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,333
Do you mind if I see this?
430
00:22:42,875 --> 00:22:43,958
Oh.
431
00:22:45,250 --> 00:22:48,250
Oh, this is your problem.
You see, these notes are garbage. Sorry.
432
00:22:48,333 --> 00:22:50,958
No, it's how I learned it.
It's how I make my choices.
433
00:22:51,042 --> 00:22:53,208
Well, your choices are getting in the way.
434
00:22:53,292 --> 00:22:57,333
No one gives a fart about "the subtext
of the tales of the Embera people."
435
00:22:57,417 --> 00:22:58,458
We've...
436
00:22:58,542 --> 00:23:00,625
We've got to get you out of your head.
437
00:23:01,625 --> 00:23:02,833
And how do we do that?
438
00:23:02,917 --> 00:23:05,125
When you're in there,
blow every last bit of air
439
00:23:05,208 --> 00:23:06,833
out of your lungs, hard and fast.
440
00:23:06,917 --> 00:23:09,417
With no air in your lungs,
your body will go into shock,
441
00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:12,542
shut down your frontal lobes,
so no more logic getting in the way.
442
00:23:12,625 --> 00:23:15,375
Then your amygdala kicks in,
and you'll be left with instinct!
443
00:23:15,458 --> 00:23:16,458
[casting assistant] Simon Williams?
444
00:23:16,958 --> 00:23:17,958
Here!
445
00:23:19,917 --> 00:23:21,167
Don't think.
446
00:23:24,708 --> 00:23:26,500
Don't think. Okay.
447
00:23:42,750 --> 00:23:44,500
You can slate whenever you're ready.
448
00:23:44,583 --> 00:23:47,583
Simon Williams, reading for Wonder Man.
449
00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:50,208
[inhales]
450
00:23:54,167 --> 00:23:55,167
Everything okay?
451
00:23:59,625 --> 00:24:01,375
[inhales deeply]
452
00:24:01,833 --> 00:24:05,042
[exhales deeply]
453
00:24:13,750 --> 00:24:18,500
The Embera people believe if a soul
fails to turn right after death,
454
00:24:18,583 --> 00:24:21,083
it ends up in a dark
and treacherous place.
455
00:24:25,375 --> 00:24:26,375
Well...
456
00:24:29,292 --> 00:24:30,833
I've been to the void.
457
00:24:35,667 --> 00:24:38,042
I lived in that screamin' silence.
458
00:24:41,250 --> 00:24:42,625
I know what it's like.
459
00:24:46,333 --> 00:24:49,417
I lost whatever part
was left in me that makes
460
00:24:50,583 --> 00:24:52,958
a person a person.
461
00:24:56,167 --> 00:24:57,875
Until Barnaby pulled me out.
462
00:25:01,083 --> 00:25:03,917
No one else ever gave a damn. No one.
463
00:25:06,958 --> 00:25:08,417
It's too late for me...
464
00:25:09,875 --> 00:25:11,500
but you can still walk away.
465
00:25:14,875 --> 00:25:17,750
I'm asking you nicely. Just walk away.
466
00:25:21,125 --> 00:25:23,708
[Trevor] It's a wonderful thing,
not thinking too much.
467
00:25:24,417 --> 00:25:25,875
Served me well most of my life.
468
00:25:25,958 --> 00:25:28,042
Nah, I'm not sure I'd do it again.
469
00:25:28,125 --> 00:25:29,250
Why not?
470
00:25:29,333 --> 00:25:31,917
John Gielgud used to have me whip him
471
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,875
with a belt across his bare ass
every night before curtain up,
472
00:25:34,958 --> 00:25:36,792
and that was before we were friends.
473
00:25:37,625 --> 00:25:38,833
Then things got weird.
474
00:25:39,375 --> 00:25:42,750
Hayashi neat, and a Virgin Mary
with extra horseradish.
475
00:25:42,833 --> 00:25:44,042
Thirteen years sober.
476
00:25:44,125 --> 00:25:45,750
- [bartender] Congrats.
- Thank you.
477
00:25:45,833 --> 00:25:50,000
But... [clears throat]
an actor needs to think.
478
00:25:50,625 --> 00:25:51,625
To do the work,
479
00:25:51,708 --> 00:25:55,250
you have to fill in a backstory
and the character's psychology.
480
00:25:55,333 --> 00:25:58,042
If you don't understand it,
how can you perform it?
481
00:26:00,208 --> 00:26:05,375
"When we are born, we cry that we are
come to this great stage of fools."
482
00:26:05,875 --> 00:26:06,875
King Lear.
483
00:26:06,958 --> 00:26:08,500
- Well spotted. [chuckles softly]
- Yeah.
484
00:26:10,417 --> 00:26:13,083
I had a run of it in Croydon
back in the '80s.
485
00:26:13,708 --> 00:26:16,208
I really struggled with the role at first.
486
00:26:16,958 --> 00:26:19,708
Then I remembered
that great speech from Hamlet.
487
00:26:21,125 --> 00:26:22,708
"The purpose of playing...
488
00:26:24,208 --> 00:26:26,542
"is to hold as 'twere the mirror...
489
00:26:27,708 --> 00:26:29,000
"up to nature."
490
00:26:30,042 --> 00:26:32,708
Never forget that. Nature, that's our job.
491
00:26:33,667 --> 00:26:38,708
To understand the world around us
and ourselves within it.
492
00:26:40,667 --> 00:26:46,083
The real work isn't digging for subtext
or parsing a writer's intent.
493
00:26:48,208 --> 00:26:49,667
The real work is living.
494
00:26:55,958 --> 00:26:58,625
- I should probably get goin'.
- 'Course. [chuckles]
495
00:26:58,708 --> 00:27:02,833
You're a young man with friends to see
and important things to do.
496
00:27:02,917 --> 00:27:04,083
This one's on me.
497
00:27:04,167 --> 00:27:06,625
I think I'm gonna do the wedge salad.
498
00:27:08,833 --> 00:27:11,125
- Hey, let's keep in touch.
- Of course.
499
00:27:11,208 --> 00:27:12,208
Oh, Simon.
500
00:27:14,583 --> 00:27:16,417
I've a good feeling about today.
501
00:27:17,875 --> 00:27:20,083
Something fateful in the air.
502
00:27:20,792 --> 00:27:22,000
[Simon chuckles softly]
503
00:27:33,250 --> 00:27:34,917
[cell phone buzzing]
504
00:27:38,333 --> 00:27:40,750
Hey, folks, I'm really sorry. Your entrée
will be up in a couple of minutes.
505
00:27:40,833 --> 00:27:43,458
[sighs deeply]
506
00:27:45,167 --> 00:27:46,417
This is Trevor Slattery.
507
00:27:47,042 --> 00:27:48,042
[man over phone] How were drinks?
508
00:27:48,125 --> 00:27:50,625
$15 for a Virgin Mary?
It's bloody criminal.
509
00:27:50,708 --> 00:27:51,708
[man] Trevor...
510
00:27:52,292 --> 00:27:53,833
Third contact was established.
511
00:27:53,917 --> 00:27:56,625
[man] We don't call it third contact.
He was at the matinée?
512
00:27:56,708 --> 00:27:57,833
Yes.
513
00:27:57,917 --> 00:28:00,458
[man] And then you ran
into each other at the audition?
514
00:28:00,542 --> 00:28:03,250
And then we had drinks. Third contact.
515
00:28:04,708 --> 00:28:07,458
[man] Trevor,
you need to take this seriously.
516
00:28:07,542 --> 00:28:09,500
Simon Williams is superpowered.
517
00:28:09,583 --> 00:28:12,833
He's unstable and incredibly dangerous.
518
00:28:12,917 --> 00:28:15,917
This country isn't safe
until he's in my custody.
519
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,542
You sure he's buying the act?
520
00:28:18,542 --> 00:28:21,292
[Trevor] Don't fret.
I've got him right where I want him.
521
00:28:23,250 --> 00:28:24,250
[cell phone chimes]
522
00:28:36,792 --> 00:28:39,542

523
00:29:03,083 --> 00:29:05,708
[♪ music continues]
524
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,000
[♪ whimsical music playing]
525
00:31:38,125 --> 00:31:39,167
[♪ music ends]
526
00:31:40,875 --> 00:31:42,750
[♪ soft instrumental music playing]
527
00:32:31,333 --> 00:32:32,708
[♪ music ends]
